If you are travelling anytime to Hyderabad on a holiday, make sure to visit the Golconda Fort. The imposing fort, which was once the declared capital of the city, is about nearly 11 km of travel from Hyderabad city. It is steeped in history that talks of the innumerable conquests, defeats and also of the splendor, sparkle and opulence of a bygone era. You can even find traces of many age-old customs, the impressive architecture and of fantastic scientific inventions that ruled the roost nearly 400 years back.
Golconda or Golla Konda meaning the Shepard's hill in Telegu, was at first built as a mud fort in the 10th century by the Kakatiya king, who ruled the area then. According to popular legend, a shepherd boy discovered an idol of goddess Durga while he was grazing his flock of sheep on top of the hillock. The shepherd reported the siting to the Kakatiya ruler, who then constructed the mud fort around the hill in order to protect the idol. It is also believed that the fort was constructed as part of the defense mechanism of the Kakatiya king. The following centuries had their share of different dynasty rulers, who battled hard for their laborious wins and the fort was a mute witness to most of these battles. The Golconda city was also one of the main market centers for diamond trade. During the early 16th century, the Bahmani Sultanate ruler proclaimed the fort as the capital of his state. However, in 1518, Quli Qutab Shah, declared his win over the Golconda region and made the city his capital. In the next decades, the successive Qutab Shahi rulers- nearly three generations of them, reconstructed the mud fort to the impressive granite fort we see today, even though much of it is in ruins. As per the history chronicles, the Mughal emperor Aurengzeb, had to battle hard for nearly nine months to lay siege on the fort in 1687.
The architectural marvel of the fort is hard to describe, majorly because the massive structure is interlaced with many intelligent inventions of the different builders who contributed to the making of Golconda Fort. The fort is constructed on a granite hill at a height of about 120m, (nearly 400ft) and is enclosed by thick stone walls- the stones of which are believed to weigh tons. You enter the fort through the Bal-Hissar Gate, situated on the eastern side of the fort. The gateways are fixed with iron spikes to ward off wild elephants and enemy attacks. As you enter the arched doorway, you are in for the most incredible acoustic wonder.Try clapping your hands at a certain marked point here and you can be clearly heard at a distance of 1 km at the 'BalaHisar' Pavilion. This acoustic wonder was invented as a part of military intelligence and it is still an unsolved mystery as to how the sound system works. The old adage that the "Walls have ears", probably was concocted here, as your faintest whispers at one end of the wall or room can be clearly heard at the other corner. To the right of the entrance, you have a small tunnel of miniatures alcoves, which were used as small baths to bathe and dress dead royals. The structure was built like the ancient Persian and Turkish baths. There were regular supplies of hot and cold water for this. The uninterrupted water supply at all times of the year was another engineering wonder.
As you trek up the hillock you are in for more architectural marvels like the Ramdas Jail, Taramati mosque, the Durbar Hall, the Ambar Khana, the lush gardens called the Nagina Bagh and the Baradari on top of the hill. A Baradari is a long pavilion with 12 open doors to allow free air circulation. The building has three doorways on each side of the square shaped structure. The majestic fort is an eclectic mix of palaces, drawbridges, durbars, mosques and temples. According to the local folklore, the Queen's chamber at the fort was not fitted with any mirrors but instead there was a fairly large water pit for her to look, so that she does not get any dark spots on her skin. Much of the fort is in ruins but still there are many distinct traces of the magnificence of an era that is unknown to us.
The Fort timings are from 9 am to 5.30 pm every day. Do not miss the Light and Sound Show every evening at 6.30 pm to learn more about the history of the Fort. Visit this link to learn more about the timings for the show in different Indian languages.

How to Form an LLC in Kansas 7 Simple Steps
Step 1) Verify & Secure Your Brand's Name
To secure and register your brand name it must be unique, not too similar to another registered name, and shouldn't contain any restricted wording. To check, conduct a Business Entity Search through the state and if there are potential trademark issues conduct another quick search using the TESS System through the U.S. Patent Office.
Keep in mind your LLC name should contain the words 'Limited Liability Company' or 'Limited Company'. Abbreviations for these words like 'L.C.' or 'L.L.C' are also acceptable. If needed, set up an account with the state to file a Temporary Reservation of Business Entity Name to reserve the name for 120 days for $35.
Remember, this isn't optional in Kansas-- it's mandatory.
Quick Note: Before you commit 100% to a name, you may also want to check that there's a decent URL available for your business. Use Weebly to search your options. If there's a quality domain name for purchase, we advise buying it right away. Even if launching a business website isn't on your radar right now, it's going to be soon, and you might as well nail down a domain name that'll make it easy for customers to find you!
Step 2) Appoint A Registered Agent
A Kansas Registered Agent is an intermediary, responsible for receiving and helping you to handle/process all official documentation like state filings, tax forms, legal notices, and so on. This agent can be an individual or a corporate entity, but they need to be a Kansas resident (with a Kansas street address, non-P.O. Box) and be able to legally conduct business in the state.
You can hire an outside professional service and pay up to $160/year, or get a free Kansas Registered Agent when you start an LLC through an LLC formation service. They handle this along with so much more depending on your startup package.
Step 3) File Articles Of Organization
Download a copy of the Kansas LLC Articles of Organization and fill out the required information with the correct data. For your LLC filing, submit the document Online or through mail to the Kansas Secretary of State.
The document officially declares your company name and address, names and addresses of all partners, your registered agent, the nature of your business, operating hours and other basics needed for the state to recognize the brand as a legitimate business entity.
Filing Fee: $165
Step 4) Get An EIN
You're required to obtain an EIN, or Employer Identification Number, in Kansas to legally conduct business. It's a 9-digit number issued by the federal government and used like a social security number to track business activity. Once you have yours, you can then open up a business bank account in the next step, hire employees, and so on.
That said, you can get one quickly, easily and free of charge by applying online through the IRS Website.
Step 5) Open A Business Bank Account
Here comes the fun part where you get to shop around at different banks to see who's offering your LLC the most convenience, perks, reduced fees, bonuses and other business services. Don't just assume where you conduct banking personally is the best option. It very well might not be.
Check out the perks with many mainstream Business Checking Accounts that made top pick lists like Capital One and Chase. Even if you don't want to work with those banks, you'll begin to learn the lingo, so to speak.
Step 6) Draft An Operating Agreement
This is a document that our readers, plenty of experts, and ourselves advise you think about creating.
It's not mandatory or a legal requirement, but what it does is add a layer of safety for everyone involved (including the company) and lays out duties/responsibilities. It also, "Defines each member or manager's rights, powers, and entitlements. This includes capital accounts, membership interest, distributions of profit and allocated tax responsibility, etc."
So as you can see it's very important and critical to any legitimate business platform with structure. To get started, consider checking out a nifty Operating Agreement Tool which you can customize yourself.
Step 7) Comply With Taxation & Licensing
How easy or complex this step is depends on a number of variables... like your specific location, the nature of your business, the types of products/services you sell, whether you have employees, etc. So again, please be sure to do your research or work with a professional. There's no room for mistakes in this step.
Bookmark the Kansas City district office of the Small Business Administration and the state's Business Center page because they're likely going to be go-to sources. If you need help, consider leveraging professional Business License Research packages that can quickly source all documents for you.

Thread: Erect Kegels Question.

Hi guys 2 questions:
1. I am an 18 year old, had a mild form of ED, and thiiiink its gone now. But I just want opinions. When I use to be erect, and kegeled or flexed the muscle, I noticed my dick would get even harder. Now when I do it, it does not get any harder it just throbs and does the typical lift. Does that mean I am at 100% strength?
2. Every time I get an erection now, I flex the muscle 3 or 4 times for a second just to be sure I am hard like I should be, or just out of excitement, and uncontrollably. To me that sounds like an erect kegel, and I was wondering if becuase I am not experienced in PE if that did/would/will somehow hurt me, or burst a vein?

Erect kegel is more advance than regular ones and will tire the muscle out a lot faster, so if you keep doing them everyday you will just overwork the muscle. Let it rest.

So I am assuming that what you mean is, by what I have described, you would say I have not hurt or injured myself in anyway, and that at the WORST I just tired the muscles out a bit and that will be fine with a couple days of rest?
- 02-17-2012 #4
As Steve23 said, the muscles can tire out faster. At the WORST you will injure your muscles. Think about it. You go to the gym. It's full with strangers, folks, who you've never seen. You have not even been at the gym before. Never. And now, you put up two 50-60 lbs dumbbells and make 12X16 hammer exercises. At the WORST you will find yourself in the surgery.
But hey What you're doing is not erect kegel, I think. My kegel exercise is something like 10x 4 secs + 20x 0.5 secs + 4x 15 secs, three times every other day. If you flex the muscle 3 or 4 times for a second, it won't do anything. But if you can do this, you could make a kegel routine in your days and leave this "erect kegel"."Mein Herz schlägt für Metall! Eisen gibt es überall...
Die Familie der Metalle ist die härteste von allen!"

Last weekend I enjoyed a wonderful time with my best friend from high school, Christina, and her husband, Nate. Christina kindly flew me down for a weekend away from crazy family life and a chance to spend some time together without my kids, something we hadn't done in four years. We went out to dinner, tried a yoga class, and had a three hour lunch at a local winery, followed by wine tasting. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed such relaxed luxury, although I'm still feeling the yoga from Saturday morning.
As I was getting ready for the trip last Thursday, I was feeling like my purse was a little tired (I think I had made it before my last trip down there) and too small now that I actually have a cell phone. I pulled out a large, left over piece of quilted fabric from "Hope in the Storm" and made a simple fold over purse. I added a fabric paper pocket under the flap to hold my phone and lipstick. The straps are another piece of the same quilted fabric. I didn't take the time to measure the strap before sewing in on--whoops. No problem, I just tied a simple knot to shorten it up. I added the fabric paper circles on the front for fun and color. I love how it turned out. I think I might make a few more from some half finished quilts that I'm not in love with. Purses seem the perfect way to create something both beautiful and functional.
Now that I had the purse, I needed somewhere to stash all my cards and ID. Another piece of fabric paper with more circles and I was ready to go.

First up is a Sd Kfz 7 (8 tonnes) from Britannia Miniatures.
Next is a Jagdtiger also from Britannia Miniatures. A true behemoth of a model the scale of which will be shown in some "family" portraits coming soon.
Next are a pair of Pumas (Sd Kfz 234/2) from Frontline Wargaming and whilst not as detailed as the Britannia models they paint up well and look good on the gaming table. Well, they will when they get used in the coming year...
There will be some more completed pictures to follow shortly along with some ongoing work in progress pics as well.
Cheers for now

Ransomware attacks against Android devices jumped 75% in 2014
Malware threats continued to grow in 2014, and cybercriminals are working on developing new generations of mobile malware, according to Lookout Security. The company noted a whopping 75 percent jump in Android-based malware threats throughout the year, with criminals shifting focus from SMS scams to new ways to compromise users.
Cybercriminals have found ransomware, though harder to compromise victims, proves more valuable when it comes to return on investment (ROI). End users and business employees are desperate to regain access to compromised devices, so they are more likely to pay a ransom immediately.
Cybersecurity experts recommend mobile users install anti-virus and anti-malware software on their smartphones and tablets, along with being cautious when clicking links and installing apps from unknown sources.

A study by Mueller and colleagues in last month's Journal of Graduate Medical Education (1) looked at feedback given to emergency medicine residents over two years of residency training. The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a difference in the evaluations that resident received from attending physicians based on the resident's gender. The authors were looking for the so-called "gender gap".
In order to determine if there was a gender gap, the authors performed a qualitative analysis of the evaluative comments that were made by attending physicians during milestone observations of residents. These comments were made in real time through a software application that was available on the attending physician's mobile phone or computer. The comments were made by 67 attending physicians. 29 of the 67 attending physicians were female (47%).
The cohort included two classes of PGY-3 emergency medicine residents (n = 47). The gender breakdown of the residents included in the study is not clear, but it appears that the analysis was primarily of residents who received more than 15 comments during the study period. In this group of 35 residents, there were 13 (37%) who were female.
There were a total of 1317 direct observation comments made during the two-year study period. The comments made by attending physicians seemed to value procedural and diagnostic skills, which makes sense for emergency medicine residents. Interestingly, the faculty also valued some particular personality traits such as confidence, hard work, the ability to perform under pressure, and multi-tasking. The authors identified these characteristics as more stereotypically masculine traits.
The authors concluded that female residents received "less consistent feedback from attending physicians than male residents". This was primarily focused on the concept of the emergency medicine valued personality traits. Female residents were more likely (no statistical analysis given) to receive both strong praise and strong criticism than male residents (62% vs. 45%). When considering the "ideal" emergency medicine traits, 50% of the men received negative comments compared to 77% of the women. 62 percent of the female residents were criticized by more than one attending for their lack of these idealized emergency medicine personality traits compared to 36% of the male residents.
In a 2014 qualitative study, Kolehmainen and colleagues performed semi-structured interviews with internal medicine residents who had participated in leading CPR in a hospital resuscitation. (2) They were trying to determine how gender influences the code leadership experience. One of the themes from this research was that female residents felt stress from violating "gender behavioral norms" in the role of code leader. It would be interesting to know if the female emergency medicine residents in the Mueller study felt pressure and stress at having to exhibit these stereotypically masculine traits in order to receive better evaluations from their faculty physicians.
Many of you are probably thinking the same thing that I was thinking when I read this great manuscript: what about the gender gap in the evaluators. Interestingly, the authors did not even mention this concept. It was as if the attending physicians were considered above reproach, which we know is not true. Men and women evaluate differently. They value different characteristics, and may actually treat residents differently based on the resident's gender.
In 2012, Moss-Racusin and colleagues (3) performed a randomized double-blind study of science faculty who were asked to rate the application materials of a graduate student who was applying for a laboratory position. The student was randomly assigned either a male or female name. Faculty members rated the students with a male name significantly higher including being more competent and offering them a higher starting salary.
We published a study several years ago that looked at evaluation comments made by faculty and senior residents regarding first year residents on an inpatient rotation (4). We found some differences in the types of comments made by senior and junior level faculty and senior residents, but there were not enough female attendings to determine if there were any real gender differences in the evaluators.
But half of the 67 evaluators in this study were women. Plenty to show a difference. I would love to see the comments broken down into the four pairs (Male faculty to Male resident, Female faculty to Female resident, Male faculty to Female resident, Female faculty to Male resident).
The author's conclusion that this research "contributes to understandings of gender inequality in graduate medical education" is true, but they could have done much more.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Uprinting.com – Leaving my Mark
{ disclosure : received complimentary business card printing but the opinions expressed here are always my own }
{ comments are closed for this post, to enter giveaway please fill out this form }
My husband always says without even looking at the prices I always choose the most expensive item on the menu. What can I say other than I've got good taste! When it comes to design, I'm pretty much the same way. When it came time to think about getting new business cards I wasn't going to get the same design as before. I saw it as an opportunity to do something different and change things up a bit. A new design wasn't going to be cheap… or so I thought!
When the kind people at Uprinting.com offered me a chance to try out their printing services and dangled "square" business cards in front of me… I was drooling. I had previously priced square business cards and they were NOT cheap. I always got the same lame excuse, it's a unique size, requiring a special die… as if I was the first person to think of this brilliant idea of a square business card. Added to my idea of a double sided card, my internal calculator was working overtime. I thought I was in for a REAL treat… getting all fancy smancy with square business cards.
As I uploaded my design with their easy to follow guidelines and handy Illustrator template, I was shocked to see how affordable they made it. Not only was I getting square business cards, but double sided, hi-gloss, full-color with bleed too. In laymen terms, the whole nine yards! Each of the features individually would exponentially add to the final production price at a print shop… but not at Uprinting.com! There is even an eco-friendly option printing with 13 pt recycled uncoated cardstock.
Even more amazing is their customer service. During the process I got a free proof (before you pay) sent to me and then a personal phone call to approve my draft for production. Every question I had was answered and my own little quantity mistake was rectified during one of our phone calls. The perfectionist side of me asked the graphic designer to double check the red on the back matched the red of the lips and she happily complied. From start to finish my order took just a little over a week with standard delivery. When I opened the box, they were perfect! and gorgeous! It was my design come to life! Nothing makes me more giddy than seeing my design come to fruition. A similar order would have cost around $120 easily at another unnamed printer using one of their own single sided designs. For approximately $33 with 3-day shipping I got the whole she-bang!

Europe's hedge fund business may be looking at an encouraging longer-term
picture, however. The region boasts five of the world's 20 biggest hedge
fund firms -- led by two London-based powerhouses, Brevan Howard Asset
Management and Man Investments.
Brevan Howard's total assets surged from $21 billion at the end of 2007 to
$26.8 billion when this year began, elevating the firm from third to first
Alpha's 2009 Europe Hedge Fund 50. Man Investments had a similarly
strong year; its overall assets grew from $20.9 billion to $24.4 billion,
lifting the firm two rungs to second place.
The two top European hedge fund firms in last year's ranking have been
taken down a few notches. Barclays Global Investors falls from No. 1 to No.
3, and GLG Partners drops from No. 2 to No. 8; the firms saw their assets
drop, respectively, 35 percent and 52 percent.

|Product Overview:
|WST-8 Cell Proliferation Assay Kit provides an easy to use tool for studying induction and inhibition of cell proliferation in any in vitro model.
|Cell proliferation is controlled by growth factors that bind to cell surface receptors which connect to signaling molecules. These molecules activate transcription factors which bind to DNA to modulate the production of proteins, resulting in cell division. Dysfunction of any step in this regulatory cascade causes abnormal cell proliferation, an underlying cause of many human pathological conditions, most notably cancer and aging. Defining mechanisms responsible for alterations in cell cycle progression is crucial to understanding many human diseases, most notably cancer.
|For research use only (RUO)
|Store the kit at -20°C.

This is a previously published work. It has been revised and edited for Evernight Publishing.
The kid—because that was what he was to Joachim, a kid—stared at him a bit too long.
"Watch the road."
Zane snickered, and switched his attention back to the traffic ahead. "Lucky. Yeah, I'd call it lucky they decided not to kick me out after denying me what should have been mine by right."
Joachim hadn't expected to hear those words. "I'm sorry. I don't have any idea what you're talking about."
Zane sucked in a harsh breath.
Joachim frowned. Honestly, he didn't know this would be the case. When they'd invited him to join the company, there was no talk that someone else might be qualified to be the head of the art department. In fact, he was under the impression that there hadn't been an art department before, only a small division under a larger unit.
"You know, I can always talk to Mr. Downey and set things straight." Joachim had never before seen an expression change from slight panic to utter horror.
"No," Zane practically shouted. "You can't tell him that. You have to promise you'll never talk to Mr. Downey about the things I said. I'll be happy to work under you. Work together with you. It was just a spur-of-the-moment outburst. Promise me, please?"
Joachim tried to think past the words work under you, and Zane's pleas didn't help the matter. He took a deep breath and gazed ahead.
"Okay, I promise not to say anything, though I'd prefer it if we're all open and honest and don't hide things from each other."
"I've been open and honest with you."
"Yeah, and I bet you regret it."

Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Bestselling Author Mary Connealy Delivers Her Trademark Historical Romantic Comedy
Seth Kincaid survived a fire in a cave, but he's never been the same. He was always a reckless youth, but now he's gone over the edge. He ran off to the Civil War and came back crazier than ever.
After the war, nearly dead from his injuries, it appears Seth got married. Oh, he's got a lot of excuses, but his wife isn't happy to find out Seth doesn't remember her. Callie has searched, prayed, and worried. Now she's come to the Kincaid family's ranch in Colorado to find her lost husband.
Callie isn't a long-suffering woman. Once she knows her husband is alive, she wants to kill him. She's not even close to forgiving him for abandoning her.
Then more trouble shows up in the form of a secret Seth's pa kept for years. The Kincaid brothers might lose their ranch if they can't sort things out.
My thoughts:
I'll begin by stating the absolute truth...'Over The Edge' drove me...a tad over the edge!
I have always been eclectic in my choice of reading material: Tomes detailing exotic lands, mysterious plots, fascinating details about long ago history, intriguing characters inspires all sorts of imaginary visions for a dreamer.
Then again a good storyteller relies on vivid characters, intricate plots, settings, colours, the suggestion of romance and so much more. I will be the first to say that humour usually saves the day but to give credit to this author's lusterless writing skills was difficult.
I struggled, opened and closed the book, sighed and wished I had a bigger box of chocolates (a handful always help to sweeten a story!).
I suddenly woke up this morning wondering if women out West liked to be called a critter?!
'Over The Edge' is Book # 3 in the 'Kincaid Brides' series and I suggest you read the books in order. Perhaps then the plot might be more attractive. A few lines as recap in the front of each novel would have also helped those of us who came in the midst of this western slap comedy!
The cover should have warned me (reminiscent of the Coca Cola kid) of course but I always enjoy a good Western a la "Louis L'Amour" (which this definitively is not!) hence this review.
Not even seeing Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott on the cover would have sweeten this book!
'Callie made a sound Seth had never heard from a human being before. Sorta like a wildcat crossed with a wounded grizzly bear during a Civil War battle in a cyclone - in hell.'
'It struck Seth that if Heath (newfound brother) qualified as a wise man and Audra and Ethan (Sil and brother) as shepherds, they were about one burro and a couple of sheep away from being a Nativity scene.'
'Audra the Dandelion Fluff Woman gave Seth a look...?'
I made it to page 140...
Despite the endless revolving and often confusing characters (who are all these people?), the plot might have been interesting with a few descriptions of the breathtaking scenery out West, the hardship which always instills a healthy respect for the courageous settlers of the West and the lives they carved for themselves in the wilderness.
You cannot fail to feel a certain affinity with the lone cowboy leaving the scene to ride into the sunset. You hear the creaks of the saddle as he shifts in anticipation of the long dusty trail leading to the next water hole, leaving his sweetheart behind to care for the homestead until the next time...
I failed to enjoy this story but I suggest you grab all 3 books and judge for yourself!
After all, this is only my opinion and you know what they say: Opinions and colours are never to be argued over!
Rated at 2 stars for a couple of laughs?

Gary Marcus has an intriguing new book out called 'Kluge: The Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind'. Due to a stiff but well deserved rebuke from my better half who insists that I read my current stack of books before going out and buying any more - I haven't been able to read it yet. However, in the best tradition of the blogosphere, I am going to review it anyway.
The premise of the book, that the human brain cobbled together by evolution is a clumsy and haphazard mess with multiple defects, seems to contain a grain of truth but also to be inherently self-refuting. In particular Marcus singles out the brain's capacity for memory, which, by comparison with that of a computer, is unreliable and prone to mistakes. This is undeniable. By way of illustration, as a rather bloodthirsty young lad I took it upon myself to spend hour after hour in my bedroom trying to memorise the dates of wars and battles in British history. I was so successful at this that to this day I am able to recall the exact date of events like D-Day the 1918 armistice and the battle of Agincourt. This has come at a considerable price in evolutionary terms, namely that I am sometimes unable to recall key dates such as my wife's birthday and my wedding anniversary, thereby decreasing both my chances of survival and my reproductive fitness. Were my brain built on a computer like 'postcode' system of memory rather than contextual memory, I would not suffer from any of these difficulties. I would, however, be doomed to remember a whole host of stuff I would rather have banished from my memory. That land law course I took 4 years ago and the time I accidentally locked myself in a toilet cubicle for 3 hours to give but two painful examples. To forget is often as useful as to remember.
Furthermore, as Marcus states, human choice and decision making is often highly irrational. This observation is based on the author's presupposition that the ideal type of belief is scientific, based on logic and the laws of evidence. The brain's nature as a roughshod collection of interacting systems means that it often fails to live up to this lofty ideal. Since 'Kluge' contains multiple digs at the 'Intelligent Design' crowd, it is pretty certain who this last point is aimed at. To me I can think of nothing more horrifying than a world populated by Vulcan-like, logic robots and one has to ask whether such a world is preferable or likely to produce better results than the one we have got.
Throughout history most scientists have maintained a stubborn belief in their theories despite many of them being based on insufficient evidence and anathema to cold logic. The capacity to hold often irrational and counter intuitive beliefs is a major creative force and indispensable to humanity. What seems to be a flaw in some scenarios turns out to be essential in other circumstances. One thinks of heliocentrism which was largely developed by Copernicus for aesthetic reasons and was only proven by observation when the stellar parallax was observed with the greatly improved instruments of the 19th century. The scientific revolution and innumerable later advances were produced by people who believed that a creator God had created an orderly and rational cosmos based on mathematical laws. As Peter Harrison has shown in 'The Fall of Man and the Foundations of Science, scientific methods themselves were originally devised as techniques for ameliorating the cognitive damage wrought by human sin and conceptualised as a means of recapturing the knowledge of nature that Adam had once possessed. We are now assured by today's breed of logical positivist that these beliefs that drove these discoveries are not only absurd and infantile, but also invalidated by those methods of thinking which arose from their foundational metaphysic.
Above all, the book's premise is refuted by its author, who is merely a kluge like the rest of us. My ageing laptop's solitary method of self-critique is to present the blue screen of death to me when it suffers a fatal error. A kluge on the other hand can write an entire book an its defects and develop strategies to get around them. Accordingly, I too have been able to defy my irrational and poorly assembled brain by finding a war that started on my wedding anniversary, a role which the Boer War of 1899 fills pretty nicely. By using techniques like these we can become more than the sum of our evolutionary heritage.

IP Ranges tab
This tab lets you configure IP address ranges and specify whether they are trusted, suspect or blocked (they can also be unknown).
Each range shows:
- The number of users created by visitors in that range
- The number of anonymous contact forms submitted (contact emails sent) by visitors in that range
- The number of times a user action has been blocked because the visitor was in a blocked range
Note: You can see the IP range & status a user created his account from in the Registration info section of the User Admin tab.
Unknown IP ranges
b2evolution will automatically create unknown ranges if several users are created from within the same C class of IP addresses.
Every time a user account is created, we search if other users have already been created from the same C class (same first 24 bits of the IP address).
If that is the case, we either create an entry in this table with aipr_user_count = 2 or update it to a higher value.
Blocked IP ranges
Several actions will be blocked if performed by a user in a blocked IP range:
- user creates a post
- user posts a comment
- user activates account from email
- user validates email
- user registration
- user login
- user creates a thread
- user sends a message
- sending email (function
The blocking is done by function
Blocking results in an error with message "This request has been blocked." (and the block count will be increased in the table)
Suspect IP ranges
When a user creates an account from a suspect range, he can automatically be put into a special group, which may have restricted permissions.
See System > Antispam > Settings > Suspect Users
This option can also be checked for each collection at Analytics > [Collection] > IPs > IP Ranges

Blackpool advanced to the third round of the FA Cup despite an unconvincing performance in their 1-0 win against non-league Brackley Town.
Jamille Matt's first-half goal proved to be the difference between the two sides as the Seasiders saw off National League North opposition for the second consecutive round.
Brackley dominated large spells of the game, which was played in front of a sparse crowd at Bloomfield Road. The official attendance was given out as 1,764 although many disputed that figure.
Before the game got underway, a minute's silence was impeccably observed for all those Chapecoense players, staff and journalists that lost their lives during the tragic plane crash during the week.
The Seasiders made a sluggish start to the game in the opening minutes as the visitors took the game to their Football League opponents. But it was Blackpool who took the lead with their first attack of the game.
Brad Potts and Kelvin Mellor combined well down the right, with the former getting in a shot which inadvertently found the head of striker Jamille Matt, who prodded in from close range.
The visitors came close to an instant equaliser with striker Lee Ndlovu seeing his close-range effort deflected just wide of the post after the ball had been fizzed across the box.
The resulting corner was well cleared and Pool broke at speed and Potts brought a good save out of Brackley 'keeper Laurie Walker, who got down well to save at his near post.
Brackley showed plenty of ambition to break forward in numbers but left plenty of gaps for Pool to exploit on the counter attack.
But Brackley settled well and began to pile on the pressure.
Mellor was forced to climb highest to head away at the back post as James Armson, Brackley's hat-trick hero in the last round, looked odds on for a simple finish.
Fellow defender Clark Robertson was then forced to skew a clearance out for a corner as Brackley looked to make the most of their promising spell.
Pool were forced to put their bodies on the line and defended well, and were almost rewarded when Potts' rasping drive from just outside of the box was tipped wide of the post by Walker after a quick one-two with Kyle Vassell.
Brackley were inches away from levelling the scores in the final action of the first half, with the ball crashing against the underside of the bar and down onto the line as Clark Robertson attempted to clear away a ball fizzed across the six-yard box.
Blackpool started the second half in a sluggish fashion once again.
Brackley's James Armson curled a left-footed effort narrowly wide of the top corner as the non-league outfit looked for a way back into the game.
Pool stopper Sam Slocombe was called into action to make a crucial stop from Ndlovu as he bore down on goal after capitalising on a short back pass.
The hosts immediately broke but Potts was unable to get a clean shot away inside the area as he came under pressure from the defender.
Brackley did get the ball in Blackpool's net on the hour-mark, but the referee had already blown for offside as Ndlovu's tapped into an empty net.
Pool strikers Matt and Vassell combined well as the hosts looked to break on the counter, but Vassell's shot inside the 18-yard box was comfortably saved by the Brackley 'keeper.
Blackpool were forced to clear their lines from their own goalline for the second time in the match, with Tom Aldred heading away after Slocombe spilled at his near post.
With five minutes injury time added on, the visitors threw the kitchen sink at Blackpool but the hosts held firm to proceed through to the next round.
Blackpool: Slocombe, Mellor, Aldred, Robertson, Taylor, Potts, Payne, Pugh, Osayi-Samuel (Yeates), Vassell (McAlister), Matt (Gnanduillet)
Subs not used: Lyness, Nolan, Aimson, Cullen
Brackley: Walker, Myles, Gudger, Byrne, Graham (Lowe), Dean, Walker, Armson, Ndlovu (Pitt), Diggin (Moyo), Walker

text: Do More Web & Search Using MyYahoo as an RSS Reader Share Pin Email Print (Image of MyYahoo). Web & Search Best of the Web Search Engines Safety & Privacy Running a Website by Daniel Nations Updated October 18, 2016 MyYahoo isn't the best personalized start page on the Internet, but it makes for a very solid RSS reader. It's fast, it allows you to preview the articles, and it is popular enough that there are buttons on many websites that will automate installing the feed on MyYahoo. Because it is a personalized page, MyYahoo allows you to organize your feeds into separate tabs. This is great if you want to divide your feeds by subject matter. You also have three columns on the main page, and two columns on additional pages that can be used for feeds -- though one downside of MyYahoo is the huge space on the far right column being taken up by advertising. Read this review of MyYahoo for my information on it. The Advantages of Using MyYahoo as an RSS Reader MyYahoo has many different advantages including speed, reliability, ease-of-use, the ability to preview articles, and the MyYahoo Reader. And these are in addition to the ability to separate the feeds into different categories and place them on their own tab within the personalized page. Speed. A big reason to use MyYahoo over other online readers is speed. MyYahoo is one of the fastest readers when it comes to loading in the articles of multiple RSS feeds. Reliability. Even the best websites will go down or become slow from time to time, but generally speaking, a website like Yahoo or Google will go down far less than a more specialized and less popular site. Ease-of-use. Adding an RSS feed to MyYahoo is a simple matter of choosing "Personalize this page", clicking on "Add RSS Feed", and typing in (or pasting) the feed's address. Many websites also have an "Add to MyYahoo" button to make this easier, and most Firefox users can add the feed directly to MyYahoo by clicking on the feed icon. Preview articles. Articles can be previewed by hovering the mouse over the headline. This will pop up the first portion of the article, so you can tell whether or not you might be interested without opening the article. MyYahoo Reader. The default setting is for articles to pop up in the MyYahoo Reader. This gives you a clean place to read the article without all of the clutter of the website. All of the recent articles are displayed on the right, so there's no need to go hunt for something else that you found interesting. And, because sometimes an article is best viewed on the site itself, you can get there by either clicking the article's headline or by clicking the "Read full article..." link at the bottom. The Disadvantages of using MyYahoo as an RSS Reader The two biggest disadvantages to using MyYahoo are the inability to consolidate feeds and the overall limitations imposed on MyYahoo's personalized start page. Inability to consolidate feeds. One thing that MyYahoo cannot do -- at least on its own -- is to mix different feeds into one consolidated feed. So, you while you could add ESPN, Fox Sports, and Yahoo Sports as separate feeds, you couldn't create a single feed that contained all three. Limitations of the personalized start page. One big negative to MyYahoo is that tabs beyond the first tab only have two columns, and one of these columns has a huge advertisement taking away a lot of space that could otherwise be put to good use.

Now, as an eager contributor to OAuthLib, the logical next step after the OAuth 1 features are stable is to progress to OAuth 2. The second version is much simpler to use as a consumer since the need to sign every request has been removed. However, implementing a provider, especially one supporting all of the many new workflows, is a daunting task. OAuthLib will make consuming OAuth 1 & 2 very simple yet flexible and intend to do the same for services wanting to give access to their APIs using OAuth. Since the first version is quite restricted in how it may be used creating an OAuth 1 provider is not extraordinarily challenging. This is not the case for OAuth 2.
Meet the social toaster. It will make an authorization request, followed by grilling a verification url onto your slice of bread, you type this on any device capable of running a web browser, authorize access upon which you are presented with a code. Using the switch on the side of the toaster and your newly brushed up Morse code skills you enter the code, the toaster downloads your preferences from a database and proceeds to scorch the Skyrim logo onto your second slice of bread. OAuth 2 has evolved from a reasonably simple redirection based protocol into a very flexible protocol for doing just about anything you can imagine, if it is not already in the spec you can create an extension.
Creating intuitive features that addresses all these different workflows and possible extensions is hard. To get a feeling for how difficult it might be I set out to compare the specifications used by two major vendors, Google and Facebook, with the current version. What follows is a very brief and incomplete summary of the changes found from quickly melding the drafts against each other and skimming over the 60+ pages spec, twice. I have omitted references to the changes but if interested I can dig them up.
Differences between draft #25 (Current) and #22 (Google):
- Stronger focus on the need to use TLS for all interactions, preferably 1.2
- Applications using multiple client types must register each of them as an independent client
- Providers must support HTTP Basic Authentication
- Providers should fail requests with a missing scope parameter if no default scope parameter has been previously set, usually in the client registration
- Providers must inform a client if the scope for a authorization grant differs from the requested or default scope by including the new scope in the response as a scope parameter
- Stresses that the scope and state parameters should not include sensitive information
- Providers must generate tokens which probability of being guessed is less than 2^-128 and should have a probability of at least 2^-160
- There were a large number of minor changes to the text.
Differences between draft #25 and #12 (Facebook), in addition to those between #22 and #25:
- Substantial differences in wording with a lot of added clarifications
- Tokens were described as "an identifier used to retrieve the authorization information, or self-contain the authorization information in a verifiable manner" which has been removed. Tokens should be random, non guessable sequences of alphanumeric characters.
- New authorization and access token response error types have been added (188.8.131.52, 220.127.116.11) "server_error" and "temporarily_unavailable", "invalid_client" has been removed.
- Redirection URI must now be absolute, 3.1.2.
- Added section 9, Native Applications
- Added section 10, Security, including the subsections:
- Client Authentication
- Client Impersonation
- Access Tokens
- Refresh tokens
- Authorization codes
- Authorization code redirection URI manipulation
- Resource owner password credentials
- Request confidentiality
- Endpoints authenticity
- Credentials guessing attacks
- Phishing attacks
- Cross site request forgery
- Clickjacking
- Code injection and input validation
- Open redirectors
- Updated section 10 to section 11, IANA Considerations
Expiration dates for the drafts are as follows:
- #25: September 9, 2012.
- #22: March 25, 2012.
- #12: July 25, 2011
This quick study shows that even with as much as 13 versions difference, with large amounts of text being modified, the changes made that directly impact implementations are small. From #12 to #25 the biggest change has been the addition of two error types and the removal of one. From this we can conclude that it is reasonable to implement support for OAuth 2 in OAuthLib as only minor changes might be required as the draft evolves into a RFC.

Color aroused.My man Francis Holland has this theory about racism. He doesn't think it exists. He thinks racism is the wrong word to use when describing one races dislike for the other. Francis thinks it's a false term as we are all a part of the same race (humans), therefore we cannot be racist towards one of our own. Francis, instead, calls the phenomenon Extreme Color Arousal Disorder, or ECAD. Now I must admit that when I first read this theory by Francis I thought he was nuts. But now.....I am not so sure. I think Francis might be on to something. People do tend to do irrational things and act against their own best interests when they are color aroused.Take the latest Wapo poll which finds that three in ten A-merry-cans still have some issues with race. Now three out of ten might not be a bad average if you are a baseball player. A life time 300 bating average can get you into the hall of fame. But here in the land of the [not]so free and the home of the [some are] brave that number just doesn't seem so right now does it. After all, this is A-merry-ca. Aren't we above those silly racial distinctions? Isn't this where we expect to be able to live a life where we can be judged by the content of our character?Of course this poll is all centered around the "O" man and his historic run for the highest office in the land. All the pollsters want to know what's really on the minds of A-merry-cans when it comes to the "O" mans's complexion. Is there really ECA when it comes to the "O" man? Let me answer that for you: yes.
Field, my brother, thank you so much for addressing color arousal and Extreme Color Aroused Disorder, Field, because the cartoons you use to illustrate some white people's mindset about Obama shows that they really are suffering from a mental illness; they fear a Black Harvard Law Review Editor as much as the fear The Headless Horseman and the "Evil Eye".
It's simply not possible to be so irrational and obsessional, so filled with irrational fears and anger, without being mentally ill.
In the comments to the post, Bob said,
"Holland reflects the scientific view, in which concept of "race" is increasingly disproven & discredited. Racism becomes an inaccurate term if there are no races per se & the problem in America is actually a matter of skin color;"Cristopher said in the comments,
"My feeling was and still is, we're all members of the human race, so I thought the term was peculiar. I understand differences in ethnicity but the race thing just makes no sense."Some people say it's alright to keep using the word "race" because everyone knows "race" is just a "social construct". But the popularity of that monkey photo above shows that some people literally believe that the "race" concept reflects a reality of different species. Otherwise, why are they using a monkey to represent their believe in the difference between them and Barack Obama? Unfortunately, many Blacks don't understand that being consigned to monkeyhood, as the continued use of the term "race" implies, is itself an insult.
Being disconnected from reality is a symptom or even a definition of mental illness right, with delusions, unrealistic fears to the point of paranoia, etc.?
Now, most people here are saying that these people are "racist" because that's the worst word they can think of for whitist behavior and ideology. But isn't being mentally ill just as bad in our society as being "racist"? Isn't it actually a whole lot worse to be mentally ill?
You can get a job if you're "racist", right? Can you get and keep a responsible job if everyone agrees that you're mentally ill?
What do whites think is worse? To be racist or to be seriously mentally ill? How would whites feel if the Washington Post said, "Thirty percent of Americans are mentally ill?" THAT would arouse some real concern, whereas the word "racist" just arouses a "Yeah, I know, so what?" response.
If you're seriously mentally ill, you need a psychiatrist, maybe some medication, and maybe even involuntary hospitalization, right? Have you even seen ANYONE receive all of that intervention because they were perceived to be "racist". America WILL change when it recognizes that what we now calls "racism" is a mental illness, but Blacks have to take the leadership if this recognition is to occur. If we insist that it is NOT mentally ill to consider Blacks to be biologically more like monkies, then of course we give intellectual, political, cultural and scientific cover to the whites who believe that Blacks ARE of a different SPECIES.
When Blacks realize that our society considers mental illness to be FAR more serious than "racism" as a personal problem, they'll realize that calling whites mentally ill is far more politically powerful than calling them "racist."
Finally, Coyote Road said,
Also, will we next have EGAD - Extreme Gender Arousal Disorder? Oh wait ...YES, expect discussions of EGAD as the discussion of ECAD warms up!

While the underlying assumption is that a strong yuan will help the economies of those developed nations, those policymakers should be wary of an old Chinese proverb: be careful what you wish for.
While U.S. lawmakers claim that an undervalued Chinese currency has created a trade gap between the two nations, the yuans comparatively low value has actually benefited technology manufacturers, many of which use Chinas high-density manufacturing centers to produce low-cost goods for overseas markets.
But while some tech-sector companies may be squeezed by a stronger yuan, consumers are unlikely to feel a pinch.
By mid-July, the yuan had closed at its highest rate against the U.S. dollar since China ended its fixed dollar exchange rate. The currency, currently at 7.5620 against the dollar, has already risen 9.5 percent since July 2005, and may strengthen to 7.47 by the end of this year.
That slow, yet inexorable, rise will increase the cost of doing business in China, ostensibly curbing exports from the country. According to some experts, the higher currency valuation will also galvanize companies into looking for cheaper manufacturing bases in neighboring nations.
The result: Potential slowdowns in the supply chain, which could translate to higher prices in overseas markets.
"If companies are forced to relocate due to a rising cost of business in China, there could be a modest delay along the supply chain, possibly for up to a year" said Catherine L. Mann, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
The delay would be caused by relocating, building or finding new factories, and setting up infrastructure— ports, delivery schedules, a new workforce—to accommodate the new processes.
"The biggest winners in this scenario would be Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, and some African countries, all of which are trying to attract business with lower wage workers," said Carl Steidtmann, chief economist and director of consumer business at Deloitte Consulting.
But China still has one advantage those other countries dont: infrastructure. Chinas competitors cant support the same critical mass of manufacturing centers, and thus cant deliver goods as quickly. Any cost advantage a company gained by leaving China could be offset by a slower supply chain.
"As with everything, you can have something cheap or good or quickly," Steidtmann said. "You can only have two."
Another reason companies may be reticent to leave is that specific areas of China—including Suzhou province in East China and Shenzhen province in South China—are home to key parts of the electronics supply chain. Most of the firms that do business with Western businesses there are Taiwanese.
According to Arthur Arthur Kroeber, managing director and head of research at the consulting firm Dragonomics, based in Hong Kong, those networks cannot be moved piecemeal but need to relocate together, much like they moved from Taiwan to China from 1995 through 2000.
"So until there is overwhelming pressure to move they are likely to stay put," Kroeber said. "Furthermore, for linguistic, cultural and other reasons, I suspect Taiwanese businessmen will try to figure out ways of staying in China rather than moving to less familiar places like Vietnam."
A flight from China would also buck a prevailing trend that sees increasing amounts of the electronics supply chain moving into the country, Kroeber said.
"The net tech trade balance of foreign invested enterprises went from a negligible $600 million in 2002 to $34 billion in 2005," he said. "This is a very powerful trend, supported by the advantages China offers in terms of economies of scale and density of supply networks, and I find it hard to believe that this trend could be overwhelmed by a very modest currency appreciation."
For now those modest increases are contributing only slightly to the cost of business in China. Consumers in the United States are unlikely to see any changes in retail prices.
"No matter what the [yuans] rise every technology companys number one objective is to maintain its market position in terms of final price to the consumer inside the U.S.," said the Peterson Institutes Mann. "The companies will take a hit to their profit margin before they increase prices."

Are you craving a feeling of a deep empowerment?
Would you like to know what self-love feels like in its greatest form?
Would you like to feel more connected to your purpose?
Are you wanting to get unstuck and release anxiety or depression?
Do you desire more connection to yourself and others?
Would you like more clarity around a decision?
Would you like to uncover hidden emotional blocks in the way of what you really desire in life and to transform them?
If so, then let's play!
I use mindfulness-based coaching, intuitive energy healing and empowerment techniques to assist you in turning whatever challenge you're currently experiencing into the gift of greater love, clarity and empowerment. I use my intuitive abilities to tune in to what emotions and beliefs are alive in the body and energy field beyond your current awareness and then to bring in what new experience your spirit is craving. Most of my clients walk in feeling anxious or are struggling with something difficult and leave feeling cared for, empowered, clear, connected, whole and excited to integrate more of their experience.
What is a session like? In most sessions we begin with some grounding meditations to help you feel the sweetness of connection to your highest self. Behind the sheath of mental chatter is presence and connection- that's what we'll be using as a foundation for change. Oftentimes, when we don't feel as well as we'd like, it's hard to remember who we are and to deeply appreciate our magnificence in the moment. Because of this, I help you learn how to really resource and relax your nervous system, to feel a deep sense of care for yourself, and to tune in to a grounded sense of safety in your body. In time, you will learn to do this yourself with ease and to feel it strongly as a sensation in the body. It's important to really feel your radiance before we go into anything difficult- only from there can we create transformation. As Albert Einstein says, "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it." In order to create real change in the body, mind and chakra systems together, we must access the highest vibrational consciousness available in order to transform negative beliefs and emotions. These uncomfortable feelings are here as amazing catalysts for your transformation, gateways back to your wholeness, are here to create enough discomfort for you to seek to empower yourself and discover more of the gift you are. That's exciting!
Most daily problems stem, ultimately, from a belief we learned as children: that life is not safe, that we aren't enough, or that there is no love in the places we need it. It is my belief that these "wounds" are here by design solely for the purpose of healing and discovering the truth of who we really are- infinitely precious and able to manifest almost any of our dreams. From a place of empowerment, I guide you into melting the negative belief and sensation in the body with the positive alternative, until real transformation occurs and you can see and feel your magnificence in a place where you used to see very little. Because the brain takes time and practice to rewire, I teach you specific techniques for you to use at home to cultivate this new state all day long. It is important that as we dive into the shadow, that we also begin to realize and identify with the undiscovered lightness and radiance in us as well.
The intuitive coaching that I do can be done either hands-on, on the table in combination with energy work, or seated. It's completely up to you how you'd like to tailor your experience. Sometimes people prefer the element of touch, as it helps them feel nurtured and to access their emotions faster. Some people may not prefer this because they tend to check out or daydream more when they are lying down. Trust in your body's wisdom around what feels right:)

Inquest of Craig Behr
We are writing to you, with a view to participate in the second inquest of Craig Behr, whose death occurred on the 27th March 2004, case number 538/04. The first inquest was terminated on 25th February 2005 under Section 19 of the Coroners Act 1980. However, a second inquest has been sought and is due to begin shortly.
Under Section 32 of the Coroners Act 1980, sub- section (1) Any person who, in the opinion of the coroner holding an inquest or inquiry, has a sufficient interest in the subject-matter of the inquest or inquiry may by leave of the coroner appear in person at the inquest or inquiry or be represented by an Australian legal practitioner, and may examine or cross-examine any witnesses on matters relevant to the inquest or inquiry.
Our experience in current and previous cases would assist you with the second inquest, with our knowledge and expertise a major benefit.
We wish to give evidence at the next inquest, to prevent future deaths in custody occurring, as has been exposed with the Craig Behr situation.

Retired Teacher From Raton, N.M., To Serve Ten Years In Prison For Federal Child Pornography Conviction
ALBUQUERQUE – Joseph F. Zinkiewicz, 76, was sentenced this morning to ten years in federal prison followed by ten years of supervised release for his possession of child pornography conviction. Zinkiewicz will be required to register as a sex offender after he completes his prison sentence. Zinkiewicz's sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales, Special Agent in Charge Dennis A. Ulrich, II, of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in El Paso, Texas.
Zinkiewicz, a retired teacher who resides in Raton, N.M., was arrested in April 2012, on a criminal complaint and charged with distributing, receiving and possessing child pornography in Colfax County, N.M., between Oct. 2011 and April 2012. He has been in federal custody since that time. Zinkiewicz was indicted in June 2012, and charged with three counts of distribution of child pornography, one count of receipt of child pornography, and two counts of possession of child pornography. He pled guilty on Oct. 23, 2012, to possession of child pornography.
Zinkiewicz was arrested as the result of an investigation that initially targeted a suspect in Colorado. During the investigation, an undercover agent engaged in communications with the Colorado suspect and learned that the suspect was a member of a group that used E-mail accounts to distribute and receive child pornography. In Nov. 2011, after the undercover agent obtained a hard drive containing thousands of child pornography images and videos from the Colorado suspect, agents executed a search warrant on the E-mail account used by the Colorado suspect and were able to identify the E-mail accounts of individuals, including Zinkiewicz, who shared child pornography with the Colorado suspect.
Beginning in Jan. 2012 and continuing until March 5, 2012, the undercover agent used the E-mail account belonging to the Colorado suspect to communicate with Zinkiewicz through his E-mail account. During these communications, Zinkiewicz sent a series of E-mails that included child pornography images and videos to the undercover agent. On April 4, 2012, law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at Zinkiewicz's residence in Raton, and seized computers and computer-media in addition to photographs and DVDs that contain child pornography.
According to court records, Zinkiewicz admitted that he voluntarily participated in a recorded interview while the search warrant was executed at this residence and told agents that he had been looking at child pornography for ten to fifteen years. He also admitted to using his E-mail account to exchange child pornography with others on the Internet. Zinkiewicz also acknowledged that a forensic examination of his computer and computer-related media revealed that they contained nine videos and more than 1000 images of child pornography, including 28 images of children who have been identified as child pornography victims and have been rescued.
Zinkiewicz was subject to enhanced penalties in this case because he previously has been convicted of a child pornography offense. Records reveal that Zinkiewicz was convicted of distribution of child pornography in the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey in Jan. 2002.
The case was investigated by the HSI offices in Albuquerque and Greeley, Colo., with assistance from the New Mexico State Police and the Eighth Judicial District Attorney's Office, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charlyn E. Rees.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and DOJ's Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc/.
The case also was brought as part of the New Mexico Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force's (ICAC Task Force) mission to locate, track, and capture Internet child sexual predators and Internet child pornographers in New Mexico. There are 64 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies associated with the ICAC Task Force, which is funded by a grant administered by the New Mexico Attorney General's Office. Anyone with information relating to suspected child predators and suspected child abuse is encouraged to contact federal or local law enforcement.
