Grafton man shot by police had been sought since 2011By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 01. 2013 9:12PM
WALPOLE - A Grafton man killed in an officer-involved shooting in Walpole on Friday was a fugitive from justice, corrections officials said.
Larry A. Bohannon, 51, of Grafton received two concurrent 20-year sentences in 1994 for a kidnapping conviction in Sullivan County and bail-jumping conviction in Cheshire County, Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey J. Lyons said Monday.
"He still had an active warrant for being a fugitive from justice. We hadn't seen or heard from him since June 2011," Lyons said.
Bohannon and another man, David Ward, were charged with kidnapping Donald Coull of Claremont on Oct. 18 1993, "to recoup stolen property, reportedly a generator." Coull denied taking the generator. Coull told police he was lured into a pickup truck in Claremont, shackled and driven around for three hours before being released in Bellows Falls, Vt.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said Saturday that Bohannon was involved in an armed robbery in Bellows Falls, Vt., on Friday in which he "was said to have worn a ski mask and carried a handgun."
Bohannon fled to New Hampshire, with officers from Walpole and Alstead pursuing his vehicle.
"At the end of the pursuit, shots were fired, and the suspect was killed at the scene," Rundles said.
She said she couldn't comment on whether Bohannon fired at police or whether authorities recovered a handgun. She said he failed to comply with orders from police.
Bohannon was first paroled in April 1996, then returned in October that year on a technical parole violation. He remained incarcerated until March 1997. Ten years later, in December 2007, he was arrested again on another technical parole violation; he remained in prison until June 2008. When he failed to meet with his parole officer a month later, a warrant for his arrest was issued on the charge of fugitive from justice.
On Friday, Bohannon died from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen, authorities said.

Walgreen Co. said Wednesday that it would buy the remaining 55% of Alliance Boots GmbH that it doesn't already own, while the drugstore chain confirmed it would keep its headquarters in the U.S.
Walgreen US:WAG said it decided to exercise its option to buy the rest of Alliance Boots earlier than the original option period of between February and August 2015. The company, which expects the deal to close in the first quarter next year, struck a deal to buy 45% of Alliance Boots in 2012 for about $6.7 billion.
The Walgreens Boots Alliance holding company will be based in the Chicago area, while Walgreens operations will remain in Deerfield, Ill. The operations of Boots will be remain in Nottingham, U.K.
A group of investors had pressured Walgreen to consider pursuing a so-called tax inversion overseas by relocating its headquarters to tax-friendly Switzerland, where Alliance Boots is based.
The Wall Street Journal and other outlets had reported Tuesday that Walgreen would seek to buy the remainder of Alliance Boots while keeping its headquarters in the U.S.

Myles Helfand: All right. Let's talk briefly about some of the other drugs in development that were discussed at CROI. Since we just came off of vicriviroc, let's begin with another CCR5 antagonist in development: TBR-652.
Joel Gallant: TBR-652 is another CCR5 antagonist, as you mentioned. There was a study presented, again by Cal Cohen, showing excellent results in a short-term study. It was very well tolerated, as most of these drugs seem to be.
What was interesting is, they commented on the fact that it also seems to inhibit CCR2, which is a coreceptor that most of us haven't spent much time thinking about until now. The argument that they made was that CCR2 has been associated with a number of inflammation-related diseases, so perhaps this [drug] has some kind of anti-inflammatory activity as well. An interesting concept, but I don't know what it will mean yet.
Myles Helfand: Is there any actual proof that something that can potentially inhibit the CCR2 receptor on CD4 cells is going to help reduce any of those signs of inflammation that research increasingly indicates is happening even in fully treated people with HIV?
Joel Gallant: No; I don't think there's that kind of proof. We know that the biggest thing we do to decrease inflammation is give people antiretroviral therapy. And you see a big decrease in inflammation when you do that. But it's true that you don't get to normal levels; people who are HIV negative have even lower rates of inflammation than people who are fully suppressed on therapy. Is it possible that blocking CCR2 could further decrease that level of inflammation? It's certainly worth looking into, but I don't think we know that yet.
And you know, whenever you block things that are part of us, you have to wonder what could be the downstream implication. So far, blocking CCR5 seems to be pretty safe, but I don't think we can just say that blocking all of these coreceptors is going to be a safe thing to do. They must be there for a reason.
Myles Helfand: Also, like you said, despite all of the hype before maraviroc was approved, it has not turned out to be a particularly popular drug. I think price may be part of it. The Trofile assay, the need to use that, is certainly part of it. I also think the fact that it was approved for treatment-experienced patients, many of whom are CXCR4 tropic or dual tropic, and can't benefit from the use of the drug -- that might have had a role, too. Plus, given that I think the results of this particular study found that the drug [TBR-652] did decently well, in terms of suppressing viral load, but it wasn't outstanding; it didn't knock the ball out of the park, necessarily. There wasn't a 2-log reduction in viral load.
Joel Gallant: No. It was a little more than a 1.5-log reduction.
Myles Helfand: What does that mean we're looking at, as this drug moves through the development process?
Joel Gallant: I think, if you want to think of the best possible outcome for this class of drugs, it would be that, for an extra 50 bucks, when you do a baseline genotype in somebody who has just been diagnosed, you get a tropism [finding] in addition to the resistance test results. If they are R5 tropic, you say, hey, this is a really well tolerated, very safe class of drugs, and if I use it now, I'll get a benefit from it. If I wait till later, I might not -- they may have lost their R5 tropism. So why not use it first?
I think that makes a lot of sense, to use this incredibly well-tolerated class of drugs as early as possible. But we just can't do that right now with a $2,000 tropism assay.
I'm not dismissing this class. I think that, with improvements in the laboratory tests that we use, we could definitely move these drugs up sooner. And if we had a once-a-day, very safe, well-tolerated drug, it would be a logical approach to do this early. So I think that it's worth continuing to develop these drugs as we work on the laboratory issue in tandem.
Myles Helfand: What other pipeline drugs did CROI tell us about?
Joel Gallant: We heard a little more about the Glaxo[SmithKline]-Shionogi integrase inhibitor, which I don't think has a name yet.
Myles Helfand: It does have a very long denotation, though: S/GSK1349572.
Joel Gallant: Yeah. It probably has a nickname to its friends, but I'm not privy to it. This is supposed to be the first second-generation integrase inhibitor, one that will be active if you fail Isentress and elvitegravir. They didn't present a big clinical trial using this drug, but they did present some resistance data that suggest that, in fact, no single integrase mutation will knock it out, and the common integrase mutations that we see with Isentress failure will not cause cross-resistance to this drug. So that does look promising.
Myles Helfand: What else have we got?
Joel Gallant: That's about it. There were other drugs out there, and some other ones that were talked about. But on my radar screen, those were the ones that I paid attention to.

Cliff Lee is ready to come to the National League and glad it is as a part of the defending champions.
"I'm going to the defending World Champions, that's a good thing," Lee told Daily News contributor Steve Lowery after Cleveland faced the Angels this afternoon in Anaheim.
Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco were acquired in exchange for minor league prospects Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Lou Marson (all at Triple A Lehigh Valley) and Jason Knapp (at Class A Lakewood).
The Phillies confirmed the move with a press release shortly after 7 p.m.
Lee was not sure when he would join the Phillies in San Francisco. The Phillies close out a three-game series with Arizona tonight and then face the Giants for four games.
Lee last pitched Sunday and his normal turn would come again Friday, but Lee said he did not know when he would make his next start. In Arizona, Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee also said he was unsure when Lee would make his Phillies debut. Joe Blanton is scheduled to start Friday for the Phillies.
"I'm anxious and excited to get there," Lee said. "It's the National League. I'm going to have to figure out how to get a bunt down more consistently."

We're big fans of smart snacking, and satisfying snacks with 100 calories or less definitely fit the bill! Here are some of our favorites, from supermarket finds to rockin' recipes...
Vitalicious VitaTops
We've literally been obsessed with these decadent treats for YEARS. They come in loads of flavors, from Triple Chocolate Chunk to Golden Corn to Apple Crumb. And each generously sized muffin top has just 90 - 100 calories (PointsPlus® value 2 - 3*). You can find a few flavors in select stores (freezer aisle!), but the best flavor selection is online. P.S. We also heart the Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes, which have only 50 calories per cake (PointsPlus® value 1*)!
Another longtime favorite with 90 - 100 calories. Not only are the stats great, but also the flavor variety is AMAZING. Red Velvet Cake? Yup. Thick & Creamy Cinnamon Roll? Yuh-huh. The standard Light yogurts have 90 calories and an OFFICIAL Weight Watchers PointsPlus® value of 2; the Light Thick & Creamy options have 100 calories each (PointsPlus® value 3*). Creamy, dreamy, yogurt perfection...
Apples, people. Never forget the humble apple! So nutritious, so portable, so awesome. And Fujis have the perfect balance of tart flavor and sweetness. A mid-sized apple has about 95 calories (PointsPlus® value 0*). And although this email is about foods with 100 calories or less, we do love enormous apples with closer to 130 calories.
A total freezer staple! We love a low-calorie protein fix, and these have just 70 calories a pop (PointsPlus® value 2). Of all the meatless hamburger-style patties out there, Bocas taste the MOST like real beef. Click here for the lowdown and a recipe roundup!

In the wake of the takedown of file-sharing site MegaUpload (and the ripple effect to sites like FileSonic and Uploaded.to), another popular file-sharing site has gone dark. Ukrainian police today shut down the country's most popular file sharing site, Ex.ua, on grounds that it was illegally distributing copyrighted material, including music, videos, and movies.
Ex.ua was founded in 2009, and unlike many file uploading services was free to use: the site earned money from advertising, rather than subscription revenue from heavy users. Unlike many file locker services, Ex.ua enabled users to search for common file types; this, in turn, made it the subject of complaints from organizations like the RIAA.
According to a statement from the Ukrainian Interior Ministry (which is, at the moment, also mysteriously offline), officials determined that the site was run by a Latvian citizen and some 16 people who worked at the site's offices were being questioned, although the ministry did not indicate if any had been arrested. The ministry claims that during the shutdown, police confiscated more than 200 servers and over 6 petabytes of data.
Under Ukrainian law, the site operators could face up to five years in prison if found guilty, the ministry said.
According to industry reports and statements from Ukrainian authorities, Ex.ua had millions of visitors, the vast majority of which were in the Ukraine and nearby former Soviet republics.
The takedown was apparently prompted by a six-month investigation following complaints by major tech companies like Microsoft and Adobe—as was the case with the shutdown of MegaUpload.

A Pop Quiz for Cells
Scientists devise new imaging technique for analysis of biological samples
With nanoDESI, researchers use a liquid solvent to sample tissues and deliver the sampled molecules into the mass spectrometer (MS inlet). The solvent dissolves a tiny portion of the sample, mixing it into the liquid. The sample is then removed from the surface and turned into charged droplets at the entrance of a mass spectrometer. Enlarge Image
Results: When trying to understand how cells respond to toxins, scientists want to do as little sample preparation as possible. Preparing these cells by immersing them in chemicals or drying them out can erase vital information. At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, scientists proved that a new ionization technique they developed in 2009 can provide fingerprint and locate proteins, amino acids, and other chemicals in cells that make up tissues or microbial communities using mass spectrometry.
"The beauty of the technique is that it doesn't require any sample preparation," said Dr. Julia Laskin, who led the research project for PNNL's Chemical Imaging Initiative. "Here, you just take your sample, slice it, and put it in front of the instrument for analysis."
Why It Matters: The technique, known as Nanospray Desorption Electrospray Iionization or nano-DESI, allows scientists to efficiently determine which molecules reside in a precise spot on a sample. With this information, researchers can learn more about how diverse biological samples, such as tissues and microbes, respond to environmental factors. For example, biochemists can gain see how the marine microbe Shewanella oneidensis alter metals to remediate hazardous materials in the soil. For example, S. oneidensis can change very soluble hexavalent uranium to less soluble form, limiting its movement in groundwater. Another opportunity lies with medical researchers learning how nicotine and other toxins affect brain cells.
"Great discoveries often require great tools," said Dr. Louis Terminello, who leads the Chemical Imaging Initiative at PNNL. "The discoveries needed to solve today's problems aren't something that you're going to get by eyeballing a sample."
This sample shows an overlay of the optical and nano-DESI image of a human kidney tissue sample.
Methods: From the beginning, the team was convinced that the liquid bridge used in nano-DESI could be scaled down to analyze small areas on biological samples. By making adjustments, the team was able to scale the probe down to analyze an area about 10 micrometers in diameter, about the same size as a single red blood cell or mid-sized bacteria.
"With this probe, we are getting down to individual cells," said Laskin.
The team first analyzed rat brain tissues, which provide an outstanding test case for the technique, because they are very dense and yield high signals. The nano-DESI was able to draw up and analyze the molecules from different regions on the sample. Then, the team moved onto "airy" kidney tissues, and again were able to analyze micrometer-sized areas.
With each sample, the nanoDESI generated reams of mass spectra. Existing software packages could not process the data. The job fell to Brandi Heath, a team member who recently completed her bachelor's degree and is working on her master's degree at Washington State University. She read the charts and determined the fatty acids, amino acids, lipids, and other molecules that resided at different locations on the tissue.
"It was very tedious, but in the end, very rewarding," said Heath.
"Compared to other online liquid extraction techniques, nano-DESI has about an order of magnitude better spatial resolution," Laskin added. "It is comparable, spatially, to what laser-based techniques can give."
What's Next? The team is working on two efforts related to their work with nanoDESI. First, they are working with Drs. Dongsheng Li and James Carson through the Chemical Imaging Initiative to understand and visualize the mass spectrometry data on the fly. Also, the team is working with Drs. Matthew Marshall, Margaret Romine, Grigoriy Pinchuk, and Jim Fredrickson to analyze different microbial communities of interest to the Department of Energy.
Funding: The Chemical Imaging Initiative at PNNL, a Laboratory Directed Research and Development effort; the Department of Energy's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program at PNNL; and a National Cancer Institute grant as a part of the Early Detection Research Network.
User Facility: EMSL
Research Team: Julia Laskin, Brandi S. Heath, and Patrick J. Roach, PNNL; Lisa Cazares and O. John Semmes at the Eastern Virginia Medical School provided the tissue samples.

This is my first time posting. I am a first time mom of a 5 month old boy who currently weighs 21.5 lbs. He is in the 75% for height as well. At our last ped. visit, my pediatrician told me my son was 5lbs over weight and gave me a feeding schedule.
My son up to this point has been exclusively breastfed. No bottles, no solids. My ped told me to nurse my son 4 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and before bed) and feed him baby food after nursing for 3 of the meals. She told me not to nurse him at all at night and to give him 2oz of water to hold him off if he wants to nurse at night or between meals.
I have so much anxiety now when he wants to nurse at night and I've been trying to limit his nursing (b/t meals) to just a few minutes (literally no more than 2 or 3 minutes) just to comfort him then I swap out with a pacifier. Sometimes it works and sometimes my little one won't stop crying until I let him nurse. The doctor said he doesn't need the calories at night and is just crying b/c he wants to get his way. I don't want to be the reason my son is over weight. Should I be worried? Is it worth it to fight him and supplement with water to try and keep his weight in a more normal range?

"I think I started with drums," says Pharrell Williams. He launches into the strong, clean, distinctive beat to the "Despicable Me 2" song "Happy" with his hands slapping his lap, then vocally adds more and more percussion sounds: "You know what I mean?"
Even without instruments, singing the word "music" for the rave-up organ line and tapping on his body in this nearly empty meeting room at the Four Seasons, he brings out the song's giddy dance-party feel: "'It might seem crazy, what I'm 'bout to say … music, music, music, music," he sings in a '60s croon somewhere between Curtis Mayfield and Jackie Wilson, "Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break … music, music, music, music ….'
"So that led the whole feeling for the track. But when I got to the bridge, I knew I wanted to sing something that would take me to another land: 'Because I'm happy-y-y-y-y….' You know, I wanted those good-feeling chords on the organ."
INTERACTIVE: Best and worst Oscar moments since 2008
Dapper in layered semi-casual couture (he was once named the Best-Dressed Man in the World by Esquire), the youthful-looking 40-year-old has retained his Southern manners ("Yes sir," he says) despite two decades in the business. The writer-producer-performer had two multi-platinum smashes this summer, simultaneously holding the No. 1 and 2 spots on Billboard's Hot 100 with his collaborations with Robin Thicke ("Blurred Lines") and Daft Punk ("Get Lucky"). Meanwhile, Williams followed his contributions to the first "Despicable Me" animated film with more music for this year's sequel, including the irresistible R&B workout, "Happy."
"The criteria that they're giving you isn't just words or some one-sheet description," he says of writing to someone else's specifications rather than just following his own groove. "You get to see the animation, you get the feeling, you hear the voices. That almost writes the music for you, in a sense."
He was, yes, happy to work with the filmmakers again but was surprised by the story's setup.
"They said, 'Gru's gonna be happy.' 'What?!' Gru was so evil, they almost called the first movie 'Evil Me.' When you think about this dastardly character … and they said, 'We want something to feel happy.' '…OK.'"
He says his goal was to "put out a Hallmark card to the airwaves, out in the ether, essentially to humanity. When you're dealing with 7 billion people, there's bound to be something terrible happening every day," he says, rattling off some awful current headlines.
"I wanted to send a reminder: There are lots of reasons to smile. You can be resilient with your smile. Why is it so cool to be mad all the time? Some songs, everybody's so upset."
The song's accompanying video is a "lyric version" with the film's minions making mischief around the song's words in bold fonts. Much more ambitious though is a website launched for the song, 24hoursofhappy.com, that is just what its name promises.
"It's the first 24-hour video. It's crazy," Williams says. "It's linked to the atomic clock. The song is being played on repeat for 24 hours straight. Each take starting every hour is me. So I did 24 four-minute takes of 'Happy.' From 1:00-1:04, I perform 'Happy.' Then at 1:04, the next person does it. We picked all kinds of people, all types. Every hour is 15 takes."
That's 336 people performing the song, in addition to Williams' 24 versions.
"Crazy," he says, beaming. "Everybody from a bride to a plus-sized dude, dancers, people who cannot dance for anything; actual directors were in it, Magic Johnson, Jimmy Kimmel. We wanted all humanity in there, not just the model-types you might expect."

curious if anyone can help me. i have the current version installed (2.7.1) and everything works fine except my quest objective/tracker is acting strange. ive been trying to position it on the right side of my UI , so i check the box to move it (it turns orange) and i position it where i want it, when i uncheck the box that should lock it in place it repositions itself in the lower right hand corner of my screen so that all thats visible is 'objectives'. no matter where i move it on my screen, the minute i unclick the check box to lock it in place it zips back to that right hand corner. the only way i can get it to stay visible is if i move it really far up to the top of my screen, but theres a very small area where i can move it where it wont dart back to that bottom right corner the second i uncheck the box. i dont have move anything or quester installed - are there any other addons you can think of that would interfere with this function? any help is appreciated

Since boss frames was the only issue I have, I am still using latest version. As a workaround I changed from Pitbull4 to ShadowedUnitFrames that have customazation of bossframes.
So for me it's not a issue anymore that I can't move them with this addon.
Thanks for the update. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful or entitled and I got nothing but admiration and appreciation for you. I agree that for this project working/consistent positioning should be the priority.
Almost same exact issues as Lisiya. Frames are small and no options to adjust their scale. Frames worked on first boss pull but then didn't work. Reloading the UI didn't seem to fix the issue.Last edited by Excelis: Oct 1, 2013

It works now. For me the boss frames are quite small.
Update: First pull on boss, it worked, we wiped and I was ressed inside instance. On second pull, frames were back at minimap again.
Update2: Next pull it worked again, no idea why.Last edited by defessus77: Sep 29, 2013

I am running latest version (v2.6-6-g14b8bbd) and still have problem with boss frames.
Moving bosss frames seems to work when I configure addon, but as soon as I get in combat in raid, frames are moved back below minimap.
Managed to die in a raid and while out of combat I moved the frames again, it looked like it worked, but after a few seconds the frames moved back below the minimap.

@ethan - where would I look in the coding then to adjust it to like 500 or so? I play on my laptop quite often and at 700 in length it's a bit long for my liking...I can deal with the width as it is.

Any chance you'll add back the Quest Tracker module? I miss not being able to resize the quest tracker as well as hide the title and open/close thingie.

Although converting doubled coordinates to cube coordinates works, there's also a direct formula for distances, from the
Chatham Womens Sofie Leather Sandal Navy PUtafyA
How do we draw a line from one hex to another? I use
Converse 537649c Women's Trainers Blue Marine vf8M4Uhhr
. Evenly sample the line at
points, and figure out which hexes those samples are in.
Putting these together to draw a line from
More notes:
Given a hex and a range N, which hexes are within N steps from it?
We can work backwards from the
RTRY Womens Shoes Leatherette Fall Winter Fashion Boots Boots Chunky Heel Round Toe Booties/Ankle Boots Laceup For Casual Office amp; Career US9 / EU40 / UK7 / CN41 nn68PaiHNj
formula, . To find all hexes within N steps, we need . This means we need three to be true: and and . Removing absolute value, we get and and . In code it's a nested loop:
This loop will work but it's somewhat inefficient. Of all the values of we loop over, only one of them actually satisfies the constraint on cubes. Instead, let's directly calculate the value of that satisfies the constraint:
This loop iterates over exactly the needed coordinates. In the diagram, each range is a pair of lines. Each line is an inequality (a half-plane ). We pick all the hexes that satisfy all six inequalities.
If you need to find hexes that are in more than one range, you can intersect the ranges before generating a list of hexes.
You can either think of this problem algebraically or geometrically. Algebraically, each hexagonally-shaped region is expressed as inequality constraints of the form , and we're going to solve for the intersection of those constraints. Geometrically, each region is a cube in 3D space, and we're going to intersect two cubes in 3D space to form a
Dorothy Perkins Women's Strut Open Toe Sandals Pink Pink 30 U7hOZj
in 3D space, then project back to the x + y + z = 0 plane to get hexes. I'm going to solve it algebraically:
First, we rewrite constraint into a more general form, , and set and . We'll do the same for and , and end up with this generalization of the code from the previous section:
The intersection of two ranges and is . Since a hex region is expressed as ranges over x, y, z, we can separately intersect each of the x, y, z ranges then use the nested loop to generate a list of hexes in the intersection. For one hex region we set and and likewise for and . For intersecting two hex regions we set and , and likewise for and . The same pattern works for intersecting three or more regions, and can generalize to other shapes (triangles, trapezoids, rhombuses, non-regular hexagons).
If there are obstacles, the simplest thing to do is a distance-limited flood fill (breadth first search). In this diagram, the limit is set to moves. In the code, is an array of all hexes that can be reached in steps. Each time through the main loop, we expand level into level .
Given a hex vector (difference between one hex and another), we might want to rotate it to point to a different hex. This is simple with cube coordinates if we stick with rotations of 1/6th of a circle.
A rotation 60° right shoves each coordinate one slot to the right:
A rotation 60° left shoves each coordinate one slot to the left:
As you play with diagram, notice that each 60° rotation the signs and also physically "rotates" the coordinates. Take a look at the axis legend on the bottom left to see how this works. After a 120° rotation the signs are flipped back to where they were. A 180° rotation flips the signs but the coordinates have rotated back to where they originally were.
Here's the full recipe for rotating a position P around a center position C to result in a new position R:
It's several conversion steps but each step is simple. You can shortcut some of these steps by defining rotation directly on axial coordinates, but hex vectors don't work for offset coordinates and I don't know a shortcut for offset coordinates. Also see
Show Shine Womens Charm Patent Leather HighHeel Stiletto PointedToe Court Shoes Red w0IIK4qh
for other ways to calculate rotation.
To find out whether a given hex is on a ring of a given , calculate the distance from that hex to the center and see if it's . To get a list of all such hexes, take steps away from the center, then follow the rotated vectors in a path around the ring.
In this code, starts out on the ring, shown by the large arrow from the center to the corner in the diagram. I chose corner 4 to start with because it lines up the way my direction numbers work but you may need a different starting corner. At each step of the inner loop, moves one hex along the ring. After steps it ends up back where it started.
The scale, add, and neighbor operations also work on axial and doubled coordinates, so the same algorithm can be used. For offset coordinates, convert to one of the other formats, generate the ring, and convert back.
Last year researchers associated with a company called Integrated Tissue Dynamics (
Fluchos Men's Bahamas Moccasins Brown cWQvv3VRW
) in New York discovered excessive numbersof nerve fibers in the skin of the hands of a high percentage of Fibromyalgia patients. We covered that study in a blog called " Pleaser Women's Flamingo808g Flatform Sandals Clr/Red Glitter Transparent Clr/Red Glitter UFfoSS
A recent update on their progress from the President and lead researcher at INTiDYN , Frank Rice Ph.D, indicated that they, in collaboration with Frank Ruscetti Ph.D, Sandra Ruscetti Ph.D (formerly of the NIH), and Judy Mikovits, Ph.D (formerly of the NIH and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute) are also studying viruses in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
We took the opportunity of the update to review a recent podcast by Dr. Rice and ask him about his Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome research.
INTiDYN , a for-profit company created in 2008, uses complex tissue analyses to understand the effects of disease, toxins, and drugs on the body. INTiDYN asserts that the integration of the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems in the skin make it an easy-to-access and cost-effective portal that can help us understand many of the problems happening in the body. Their testing of small biopsies of the skin includes examining the vasculature, nerve innervation, immunohistochemistry, gene expression, and sensory function. Their integrated approach allows them to assess the effects of disease, toxins, and drugs on the morphology, biochemistry, and genomics of tissues.
They used their ability to provide detailed analyses of microvasculature and the vascular sensory and autonomic nerves innervating the skin in their Fibromyalgia study. That study grew out of work they'd done with chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) patients.
First we cover a podcast interview with Dr. Rice on Fibromyalgia and his work , and then go to our interview with him. (The podcast with Dr. Rice starts about seven minutes in.)Dr. Rice's Podcast
A Personal Experience Flips Rice From Doing Basic Science Research To Doing Applied Research
During Dr. Rice's Ph.D studies in neuroscience at John Hopkins University he became interested in nerve endings in the skin. New methods had been developed that helped them see nerve endings in a way they couldn't before. He was doing basic science at that point; he was not focused on disease – he was simply determining how the nervous system and how nerve endings in the skin formed. But then after a minor accident a friend with four kids developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a "horrible condition" he said, he became interested in pain.

Raider cc runners improving at right time
The Raider cross country teams ran two races last week, at Omak last Tuesday and at home last Saturday.
Both the boys' and girls' teams saw great improvement, with everyone running season- or career-best at one or both races.
"With the girls' team, the entire group showed improvement from previous performances, led by Alexia Hanway, Mary Ann Matheson and Rickyna Sam," Head Coach Gary Darnold said. "With the boys' team, Lukas Hermetz, Oscar Pakootas, and Kendall Piccolo had breakthrough races, drastically improving on practice times this season."
Both races last week were 3-mile courses, 200 meters shorter than state competition.
At Omak, Hermetz ran an 18-minute, 44-second race, then improved to a 18:11 at the home meet, taking 10th overall.
At the Lake Roosevelt Invitational on Saturday, Pakootas trimmed off more than 40 seconds from his Tuesday time at Omak, finishing in 19:45, a career PR over two minutes faster than his time last year at the home race.
Zach Erickson is again the "Most Improved Raider" runner as this week his time of 21:15 was over three minutes faster than last year.
On the girls' side, Hanway continues to lead the way for the Raiders with times of 23:00 at Omak and 22:38 at home. Mary Ann Matheson is starting to get into state form by cutting off three minutes in a week. Matheson's time at the CAN-AM race was 26:31, her time at home was 23:09.
Charli Knight, Rickyna Sam, and Clare Castrodale recorded career PRs at Omak, while Keya Fasthorse improved to seasonal PRs at both races. Amanda Palmer ran for a career PR at the home race, recording a time of 26:13 — a two-minute improvement over her previous best.
Republic boys won the LR Invite, followed by Wellpinit, LR, Pomeroy and Tonasket. St. John's girls won that event, followed by LR and Tonasket. See full results for both races at http://ow.ly/elJua.
The Raiders will travel this Saturday to the Oroville Invitational, where high school races start at 12:30 p.m. This will be the last tune up before the district meet at Liberty Bell Oct. 20. At Oroville the Raiders will be racing against B competition from state-ranked Liberty Bell, Oroville, Republic and against 1A teams from Tonasket, Chelan, and Newport.
"With nine schools attending," Darnold said, "the boys will get to see an important league opponent in Liberty Bell, and the girls will get to see how we match up against Oroville."

I found this definition of the gerundive in my American Heritage Dictionary interesting: A verbal adjective in Latin that in the nominative case expresses fitness or obligation and in other cases functions as a future passive participle.
Um... so does this mean that a future passive participle in the nominative case isn't a gerundive?
Oh yes, I use the imperfect stem to memorize the present active participle and future passive participle stems. Many other explanations add more unnecessary steps, like adding an ie to the present stem, etc. I'm wondering if there is any philological connection with the imperfect stem and those two participle stems.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt has suspended tourist flights from Iran following an outcry from hardline Sunni Muslims angered about visitors from the mostly Shiite country, only a week after direct flights between the two countries resumed for the first time in more than three decades.
In comments carried by Egypt's state news agency late Sunday, Tourist Minister Hesham Zaazoua did not give a reason for the move. The suspension, which will last until June, comes days after a group of ultraconservative Salafis, angered by the Egyptian government's push to improve ties with Tehran, threw rocks and tried to storm the residence of Iran's top diplomat in Cairo.
The crowd that gathered outside the diplomat's home in Cairo on Friday, chanted "Egypt is Sunni," and "No Shiites in Egypt!" The first tour of some 50 Iranian visitors was limited to Egypt's south, away from potentially sensitive religious sites revered by Shiites, mostly in the capital.
Many of the protesters, who wore the traditional beards of Salafi hardliners, raised their shoes in the air — a sign of disrespect in the region — and tore down the residence's official sign outside the building's main gate, then stomped on it.
Some of the protesters threw rocks that smashed a window of the building. Others hung a green-striped Syrian rebel flag on the gate and chanted against Tehran's support of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime and the killing of mostly Sunni anti-government protesters in Syria.
After someone from inside the gate pulled down the flag, some in the crowd tried to storm the diplomat's residence but Egyptian riot police pushed them back.
Iran and Egypt do not have embassies or ambassadors in each other's countries, but do send diplomatic representatives. Full diplomatic ties were frozen after Egypt signed its 1979 peace treaty with Israel and Iran underwent its Islamic Revolution. Relations began to improve after former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down in a popular uprising in 2011, and the Islamist Mohammed Morsi won presidential elections in June.
According to the statement, Zaazoua said that the suspension period will be used to "reevaluate and review the experience and the tourist program with the Iranian side."

Briscoe Finishes Second, Castroneves 11th at Milwaukee
May 31, 2009
Briscoe, who started from the pole position, got hung up behind a lapped car just 24 laps from the finish, giving defending series champion Scott Dixon an opening. Briscoe chased Dixon to the finish, but wound up second and he is now four points behind Dixon in the championship race.
Briscoe said his No. 6 Team Penske Dallara/Honda didn't have as much momentum as Dixon's car as the race wore on. "Scott was just a little bit better than me at the end there," Briscoe said. "He got me in traffic. I was struggling with a little bit of understeer, and whenever I'd get on the inside I'd really lose momentum. He was there all day long and took the opportunity to pass me when I got slowed up."
Briscoe, who won at Milwaukee last year for his first IndyCar Series victory, said he saw the bigger picture in Sunday's result. While he didn't necessarily have the fastest car, he did have the patience to hold on to second place and score valuable points.
"Scott got the better of us, but we scored some points and we're still in it," Briscoe said. "That's the important part. If you can't win them, you've got to take what you can get. I thought we did a good job this week."
Helio Castroneves, who won his third Indy 500 last week, then crashed in qualifying and had to start last in the 20-car race, drove to an 11th-place finish in the No. 3 Team Penske Dallara/Honda. "This is one of those days when it feels like there are 700 laps to go," he joked.
Despite Sunday's finish and the fact that he didn't compete in the season opener at St. Petersburg, Castroneves remains fifth in the standings, just 21 points behind his teammate.
"The good news is that we finished," Castroneves said. "Our goal was to finish in the top-10, and we just missed that. All things considered, it was a positive performance."
Briscoe recorded his third top-five finish of the season.
"It was a great effort by Team Penske today," Briscoe said. "My pit stops were awesome. I don't think I've lost a spot in the pits this year, so it's a great credit to Team Penske."
The season resumes Saturday night with the Bombardier Learjet Indy 550 at Texas Motor Speedway. The race begins at 9:40 p.m. ET and will be televised live by Versus.

It occurs to me that Yuuno is similar to Fate. Much more so than we ever would have believed.
Yes, there is the obvious difference that Yuuno lacks Fate's offensive power and some of her speed, but makes up for it with defensive power. And the handicap that Yuuno doesn't use any Device, let alone one as good as Bardiche.
But now that we know Yuuno has a shooting spell and a magically-enhanced melee attack spell, as well as using his chains and barriers for attacks, it's obvious that Yuuno is similar to Fate in that they both favor an even mix of long range and short range attacks.
That is to say that they do not favor a particular range of combat, and instead adapt to their opponent; they find the range that their opponent is weakest at, and then try to control the fight to take advantage of that.
Fate attempts to control the range of the fight through her speed, by rushing in and retreating out as necessary.
Yuuno attempts to control the fight more directly, by pulling his opponent in with a bind or blasting them back (I assume with a barrier).

Fate is a skirmisher, dashing in and out of melee. Yuuno controls a fight with binds, pulling or pushing opponents. It's the exact opposite. Add to that that Yuuno quite simply isn't a melee fighter in the core sense (having a melee attack and being a melee fighter is a rather vast difference) and I do not see how he is like Fate at all.
You'd be more accurate if you compared Fate with Vita. Both prefer melee, but are not adverse to using ranged attacks should the situation call for them.

Sure, but Fate, Presia, Revi, Linis all have poor defense. Presia, if not careful can lose about 90% of health from a FBD. Fate and Revi have it worst as they can get one hit kill if hit by the FBD when they are in sonic form. It runs in the family I guess.

Fight in the arcade mode and either one will appear in Battle 3. Beat them and you can use them in other modes. Just to note, the same goes for the materials as they will appear in Battle 6 in arcade and just beat them there and you unlock them too.

Wait what? No she doesn't.

There's also a Einhart vs Yuuno in Sequence 8 Battle 05B and then Yuuno doesn't appear in the final battle (which story wise may be a pity but gameplay wise is a godsend.)

Alas, it is not to be. At least not for the this game.
If they make another one after this, and he's still in it, maybe then.

DETROIT -- Michael Vick won the Eagles a football game. That simple.
You can spin this any way you want. You can say that it takes 53 players on any given Sunday, and that it takes a village to beat the Detroit Lions, and whatever else you want to say -- including that LeSean McCoy and his three touchdown runs were a significant element in the story.
Vick won the game, though.
Down by 10 points in the second quarter, Vick brought the Eagles back to take a 21-17 halftime lead on the way to a 35-32, barely-hanging-on victory at Ford Field. In the end, the Lions made a furious comeback and even recovered an onsides kick in the final 2 minutes, an onsides kick that Eagles rookie Riley Cooper couldn't catch.
Still, they won -- and it evens their record at 1-1. The other big news of the day is that Kevin Kolb has passed all of his concussion tests, actually participated in the walkthrough on Saturday, and is likely to be back as the Eagles' starting quarterback next week against Jacksonville. Middle linebacker Stewart Bradley also is likely to be back.
That the pressure just multiplied upon Kolb is as obvious as it is undeniable. Vick was very good against the Lions -- and that's fully acknowledging that they are, until proven otherwise, still the Lions. Because there now is something else that must be said, and admitted, even if you are a Kolb fan:
That Kolb would have had a hard time winning this one.
The reason is the Eagles' pass protection -- which is, charitably, disastrous right now. Vick was sacked six times and it could have been a dozen. Time after time, Vick found himself ducking and dodging and having to get out of the way of a launched missile before being able to look downfield for a receiver. There were several big plays in the game that would not have happened had the quarterback not been able to shake off the severe initial pressure. And Kolb isn't doing that nearly as well as Vick does it.
When Vick did get loose, he was calm and accurate and dynamic. His 53-yard pass to Desean Jackson set up the go-ahead touchdown with 37 seconds left in the second quarter. The best way to describe the throw was...effortless. And there where several others that looked just as silky.
Again, McCoy had an explosive day on the ground. The last time an Eagles player had three rushing touchdowns in a game, the player's name was Charlie Garner and the year was 1995.
The Eagles' run defense, which looked awful early, settled in and finished up reasonably, including a fourth-and-1 stop in the fourth quarter and the Eagles leading by 11. (And why the Lions didn't just kick the field and cut the deficit to eight is beyond me.) Still, the defense gave up two late scores. This isn't a playoff-caliber defense right now, especially without Bradley in the middle. His return will be less discussed than Kolb's, but vital nonetheless.
Still, this was Vick's day. Based on the last 2 weeks, it is understandable why the Eagles kept him around this season after all. It was hard to see what they saw, based upon last season, and you still wonder what might have happened if somebody had knocked them over with an offer.
But Vick is here and Vick is valuable. They were right to keep him.
Next week, with what can officially be classified as being a tough act to follow, we really begin to find out if they were right about the other quarterback.

Canton police with their K-9 arrested a man who's been to prison several times for breaking and entering after they found him in a vacant house following a store break-in.
Police responding to a store alarm followed tracks in the snow to a vacant house where they found a man who's been to prison several times for breaking and entering.
They arrested Glenn E. Green, 49, of 2800 10th St. SW at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday at 15th Street and Bedford Avenue SW, charging him with breaking and entering and obstructing official business, Stark County Jail records said.
Green was already on parole, having been released from prison July 13 after serving time for three break-ins, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website at www.drc.ohio.gov.
Stark County court records show he's been to prison several times for breaking and entering, burglary, receiving stolen property and grand theft.
He is now charged in connection with a break-in at a store and a vacant house, according to jail records.
Police were called to the Mini Food Mart, 3004 17th St. SW, in response to an alarm.
They arrived to find someone had used a pry tool to force his way into the building and had cut off the electricity "to hamper the alarm," the jail records said.
Officer Mark Diels with his K-9 partner Pantzer tracked the scene of the burglary and police followed footprints in the snow to a vacant house on 17th Street SW.
The jail records said that because there was snow inside the door to the house, they forced their way inside. When they did, Green jumped from a second-story window and ran.
A brief chase ensued.
Pantzer stopped him.
Police arrested Green and seized his flashlight, wire cutters and a pry tool, the jail records said.

Last weekend victory has left Simba to have a relatively soft workload as they travel to Shandy in a fortnight for the return leg tie of the last 16.
Three magnificent goals in the last 24 minutes completely overwhelmed visiting Al Ahly Shandy at a packed National Stadium in Dar es Salaam yesterday as Simba edge closer to the last eight berth of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Both Shandy and Simba players launched several attacks but the later had a lion share in the final ten minutes of the first half.
Patrick Mafisango failed to put Simba ahead eight minutes to the half time mark after Al Shandy goalkeeper Abdulraham Ali saved his weak shot.
The penalty decision was taken by the Swaziland referee after Shandy goalkeeper brought down striker Emmanuel Okwi who was on his way to score after 37 minutes.
The teams progressed into the dressing rooms while tied goalless as home fans remained patient for the second half.
Haruna Moshi combined well with Felix Sunzu to put Simba ahead after 66 minutes taking full advantage of Shandy's defensive mix up.
Mafisango who missed crucial first half penalty rectified his mistakes when he concluded a superb job by Okwi and tap in the second goal for Simba after 78 minutes.
Okwi had dissected the entire Shandy defence before releasing the lethal pass to the scorer and send wild celebrations to fans on the stands if the packed Stadium.
Okwi hammered the final nail in the Shandy's coffin as they ended the first leg with excessive frustration. The Sudanese have a tall order despite playing with full home ground advantage during the return leg.
Simba dispatched Rwanda's Kiyovu Sport by 3-2 goal aggregates during the opening round before sending packing Algeria's Entente Setif by 4-3 goals aggregates three weeks ago.
Should Simba advance to the last eight it will be their second appearance in continental CAF leagues since 2003 when they stormed into another version of the CAF leagues, the Champions.
Former Prime Minister Fredrick Sumaye was the guest of honour who also blessed Simba victories during their CAF Cup campaign in 1993.

The Vatican is locking down for the big vote. That raises the question: How do you keep a secret when more than a hundred people are in on it?
The answer is that you drive them to and from their meetings on a bus, lock them in, install jamming devices guaranteed to turn iPhones into clocks and iPads into pads. Then, to top it off, promise excommunication to anyone — from those at the top to those who clean the floors — who talks out of school.
As we say in Oklahoma, that oughta do it.
I doubt if we'll hear so much as a squeak from inside the Sistine Chapel while the votes take place. We will learn the outcome, but the vote, the deliberations and discussions, are for the ears of those making them.
This is an excellent idea. I am a strong believer in openness in governance. But I also know that there are times when people have to be able to consult with one another in private if anything positive is going to happen. Cardinals are people. This secrecy protects them — and us — from the pressures of electing a pope based on passing considerations of personal popularity.
We need the pope that the Holy Spirit wants. I am praying every day in my own shorthand version of prayer that God will give us a good pope. The challenges this man will face are our challenges as well. They are the problems and perils of Christianity at this time in history. The pope will have the only unified voice in Christianity today.
It is important that the cardinals vote, as we do, by secret ballot. It is also important that they cast these votes and discuss the issues surrounding them without cameras, bugs or gossip to inhibit them.
The following article from NBC News describes some of the measures being taken at the Vatican to ensure that this happens.
By Alastair Jamieson, Staff writer, NBC NewsROME — Jamming devices to halt communication were installed at the Vatican on Monday, as part of a security lockdown ahead of the papal conclave.
>The behind-the-scenes ballot process is supposed to remain a secret, but modern technology left Roman Catholic Church officials taking no chances.
< Staff working alongside the cardinals voting inside the Sistine Chapel must swear an oath of secrecy.
"I expect they'll be on a total lockdown," NBC News' Vatican analyst George Weigel said. "Security is tight. It's got to be."
Jamming devices will be used at the Sistine Chapel inside the Vatican and the nearby guest residences at Santa Marta where cardinals will sleep during the conclave, officials told reporters on Friday
The move will ensure cardinals cannot communicate with the outside world or use social media. It will also prevent hidden microphones from picking up the discussions.
Any cardinals or Vatican workers –- such as those serving food in Santa Marta – breaching the code face excommunication from the church. (Read more here.)

Amish girl in chemo case doing well
A relative says an Ohio Amish girl diagnosed with leukemia continues natural treatments while hiding with her parents amid a legal case over whether she'll be forced to continue chemotherapy.
Doctors fought the family's decision to end chemotherapy, saying Sarah Hershberger would die without it.
Her grandfather tells the Akron Beacon Journal that Sarah recently celebrated her 11th birthday and seems vibrant and healthy. Isaac Keim says blood and imaging tests showed the cancer is gone.
The family's attorney says they fled home in northeast Ohio's Medina County, leaving the country at one point to avoid having to resume chemotherapy treatments. A state appeals court has appointed a guardian to take over Sarah's medical decisions.
Keim says the family returned to the U.S. but remains in hiding.

GREER, S.C. (AP) — Two decades ago, then-South Carolina Gov. Carroll Campbell stood at the Greenville-Spartanburg airport and announced that a BMW plant being built just up the road would be a benchmark in the history of the state.
By most measures, the German automaker's plant near Greer has exceeded some lofty expectations. BMW officials said they expected the plant to have 2,000 workers and make 6,500 luxury vehicles a month. In November, the factory's 7,000 employees produced more than 25,000 of BMW's crossover vehicles, which are a mix of an SUV and a coupe. In 20 years, BMW has invested $6 billion in South Carolina, an amount nearly equal to the state budget proposed by Gov. Nikki Haley this month.
"They never stopped building the plant. It has been a continuing expansion," said Bruce Yandle, an economics professor emeritus at Clemson University.
BMW is now as much a part of modern South Carolina culture as barbecue buffets and The Shag, so much so that politicians have been chasing the next BMW ever since.
But some say that pursuit has had its drawbacks. BMW received hundreds of millions of dollars in public money and tax breaks. While that investment appears to have paid off, it also led to an often-cash-strapped state providing millions more in taxpayer money to hundreds of other companies — most of it without much public oversight — making it nearly impossible to judge the quality of these public investments.
Officials say BMW's success is evident. A parade of suppliers followed the German automaker's plant, and a University of South Carolina study found BMW and the plants that supply the parts to make the vehicles account for more than 1 percent of the state's nearly 2 million workers.
The automaker gave $10 million to help Clemson establish its International Center for Automotive Research. The auto plant just off Interstate 85 might be the most recognizable landmark between Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C.
"I couldn't even begin to quantify what their presence has meant. Obviously, their impact touches so many different areas," Greer Mayor Rick Danner said.
BMW said it had no plans to mark the 20th anniversary of the announcement and groundbreaking. Instead, the company celebrated last January when its 2 millionth vehicle came off the production line. It also announced yet another expansion, worth $900 million and 300 new jobs.
Campbell, who was governor from 1987 to 1995 and died in 2005, doggedly pursued BMW over several years. A flurry of faxes at all times of the day and night between Germany and South Carolina secured the deal in June 1992, with Campbell celebrating by climbing into one of the company's luxury sedan's with a "BMW 1" license plate. BMW liked the land and tax breaks offered by the pro-business state along with its easy access to interstates and the port in Charleston.
South Carolina beat out Nebraska, whose governor at the time complained that he "couldn't move the Atlantic Ocean." The observation has been on the mark. BMW currently exports 70 percent of the vehicles made in South Carolina, with most of them heading out to sea on cargo ships.
BMW's decision wasn't met with all praise, especially outside the state. Plenty of people in the U.S. were already angry about manufacturing jobs going overseas for lower wages, and some suggested a plum manufacturer like BMW picked South Carolina because its people would work cheap. The state's right-to-work law also meant employees were not required to join labor unions.
"South Carolina was to the Germans the state that bore the closest resemblance to Mexico," a columnist in the New York-area paper Newsday wrote.
But BMW helped bring along a Southern manufacturing renaissance, especially with automobiles, Yandle said
"Then you had BMW's arch rival Mercedes thinking about locating a plant somewhere in the U.S.," Yandle said. "If those folks in South Carolina can build a BMW that the world will accept, then somewhere else in the South could make a Mercedes that the world would accept."
The pursuit of BMW and other companies also increased the race to offer tax money, tax breaks and property as incentives to private companies. BMW got the equivalent in today's dollars of about $325 million in incentives. But the plant likely would have been successful even if it hadn't gotten a dime of taxpayer money, said Ashley Landess, president of the South Carolina Policy Council.
Politicians were soon trying to find the next big thing and likely gave incentives to companies that squandered the money. A Pew Center report this year found that 26 states, including South Carolina, didn't have an adequate system for evaluating how well tax incentives were working to bring economic development.
"You had one big success and everyone chases the next one," said Landess, whose group thinks incentives amount to corporate welfare that hurts capitalism and competition. It would rather see lawmakers lower taxes to improve the state's business climate.
Also, BMW didn't bring the kind of economic kick that Campbell and others hoped for in individual wallets. Per capita income in Greenville and Spartanburg counties has barely risen faster than the rate of inflation in the past decade, according to U.S. Census figures. The poverty level in both places has increased, and BMW and its related industries couldn't buffer the state from the Great Recession, as unemployment soared past 11 percent three years ago.
Still, per capita income in Greenville County was $26,547 in 2010, about $3,200 more than the South Carolina average.
BMW also has put an emphasis on being green. The company began a project in 2003 to use methane gas generated from a nearby landfill to power some of its plant. Now the project provides half the energy the plant needs. The automaker also takes an interest in local culture, having given $1 million to the Spartanburg Center for Arts, Science and History.
BMW was a once-in-a-generation economic development package for South Carolina. Last year, Boeing opened an aircraft factory in North Charleston that the governor and others repeatedly compared to BMW. The Boeing plant was the subject of a dispute with the National Labor Relations Board, which charged that the aircraft maker was building the facility in South Carolina in retaliation over past contract disputes. The board filed a lawsuit that was later settled.
Yandle said the opportunity is there at the Boeing plant for the same kind of history-changing growth, but it will be years before the impact of that company will be known.
BMW's most important legacy may be its suppliers. About 50 plants in South Carolina provide parts to the automaker. Together they have added 16,000 jobs to the 7,000 employees that actually punch the clock at the BMW plant.
"The question is whether Boeing can build those auxiliary enterprises," Yandle said. "BMW is still making that happen. A brand new transmission plant just opened in Laurens County, and a lot of that has to do with BMW being right up the road."

Former Ambassador Bolton criticizes Kuster's 'lack of knowledge' on LibyaBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
December 11. 2013 4:45PM
A former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations says U.S. Rep. Ann Kuster displayed "a complete lack of knowledge of a national tragedy" by refusing to answer a citizen's question about the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
John Bolton, who was Republican former President George W. Bush's ambassador to the United Nations, told the New Hampshire Union Leader Wednesday that Democrat Kuster's refusal to provide an answer at a Nov. 25 event in Manchester "demonstrates why we've got to elevate foreign and defense policy much higher on the priority list in national political debate."
Bolton, who was in New Hampshire in September, has set up a political action committee and a Super PAC to raise and contribute funds to U.S. House and Senate candidates in the 2014 primaries and general election who believe national defense should be a high priority and have what he considers "sound views" on foreign policy.
Bolton said that he, like many others, saw a web video of Kuster from the November appearance before the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire.
According to an announcement about the event, she was there to discuss her trip last summer to Israel and the West Bank, and to answer questions on "Israel and the Middle East."
But when someone in the audience asked about the attack and Libya, Kuster said, "I'm certainly not here to talk about it. I'm here to talk about the Middle East."
A few people in the audience advised her that Libya is in fact in the Middle East.
Bolton called the Union Leader to say, "This, to me, is the kind of paradigm case of why I've set up this PAC and Super PAC."
Bolton said he is not taking sides at this point in the GOP 2nd District U.S. House primary between former state Sen. Gary Lambert and state Rep. Marilinda Garcia, but said, "Her performance is exactly the poster child of what's wrong with both parties' political leaderships in Washington.
"If you have a member of the House who doesn't know where Benghazi is and who doesn't know about a House resolution that's been pending for some time, it was a demonstration of such a complete lack of knowledge of a national tragedy and a real issue about the conduct of national security policy, with no attempt to answer, no policy prescriptions," he said.
"My ideal case is to support candidates who themselves are strong exemplars of advocacy in the foreign and defense policy field," he said, "but it's also important to expose the polar opposite, which is people who don't know anything about critical issues that we face.
"I can assure you that the video is something we'll see a lot of over the next year," Bolton said.
As for Kuster's contention that Libya is not in the Middle East, Bolton said, "Everybody knows the tier of states in North Africa that abuts the Mediterranean is Arab and Muslim, and very different from sub-Sahara Africa below it.
"But if you went to somebody in the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs and said that Libya is not in the Middle East, they'd think a space alien had landed."
Kuster's office did not immediately respond to the Union Leader's attempt to seek a response to Bolton's comments.
After the video was made public on Monday, Kuster said in a statement, "Like all Americans, I was horrified by the tragic attack on our Embassy in Benghazi that killed four patriotic Americans. Our focus must remain on finding those responsible, bringing them to justice, and taking every necessary step to prevent an attack like this from ever happening again."
Her office acknowledged Monday she was not as clear as she would have liked to have been in her response, but she believes the U.S. government needs to get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi and bring those responsible to justice.

I have been doing art fairs for 4 years and there is a LOT of competition out there. What will separate yours from the rest is the image and print quality--you need to present the best possible quality you can muster--would you settle for anything else on your own walls? This means you should use the materials that give the best quality, and that means probably using the better and more expensive papers. I agree with the comment above--the extra cost of the paprer is very small compared to the rest of the costs and the cost of your time. While not highly informed, the buying public is aware of the permanence issue in a general way and being able to tell them you are using archival papers and inks is important to a lot of them.Go for the gold.MDIJB www.mdiimaging.com[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66904\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

RAOGK -- an important and often overlooked resource for on-the-ground genealogical help!
A recent article in the Chattanooga Free Press (
31 July 2011) "Chattanooga man part of volunteer network that helps people trace their roots" reminds us of how wonderful the about 4000 volunteers for the group called Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (or RAOGK for short) are.
"When Bill Caldwell looks for buried treasure, he's not seeking gold, jewels or coins. He is on the hunt for things like World War I draft registration records and cemetery listings.
