Hero. A word used and abused in football, but one that can be applied to a particular group of people without fear. For those who served with distinction in Britain's armed forces during the brutal conflicts of the twentieth century, there can be no better description, and Rangers Football Club is an institution that has been honored to play host to a succession of true war heroes.
The club's traditional motto, "Aye Ready," has applied on the pitch for well over a century, but for a generation of Ibrox stars, those words were carried onto the battlefields on foreign shores as they fought for their country. Some emerged to once again pull on their football boots, others were less fortunate and paid the ultimate price for their loyalty to the cause. All will forever be remembered as Rangers heroes.
Aye Ready profiles the stories of a selection of the club's war veterans - their life and times in football, along with the battles they fought in a lasting tribute to a band of men who represented Rangers with distinction.
Paul Smith has worked as a journalist in Scotland for 13 years, covering news and sport for a variety of publications. He served his apprenticeship with DC Thomson, working on the Dundee Courier and Sunday Post, before becoming editor of the Inverurie Herald. He joined the sports desk team at the Aberdeen Press and Journal in 2001 and spent eight years in that department before being appointed head of photographic in 2009. He covered his first Dons game as a reporter in 1996, having first attended Pittodrie during Sir Alex Ferguson's reign, and is the son of former Aberdeen, Rangers and Scotland player Dave Smith. As an author his previous titles include The Legends of Aberdeen and Gothenburg Glory. Paul lives in Aberdeenshire with his wife Coral and children Finlay and Mia.

|Operación Retorno
|At the end of major holiday periods (bank holiday weekends, Easter and the month of August) huge efforts are made to reduce the number of accidents and traffic jams as Spanish holiday-makers head home from the coasts and mountains. Known as Operación Retorno, this exercise involves many special measures: for example, road works can be suspended for the weekend, and in congested areas heavy lorries can be kept off the roads, while helicopters are used to observe progress and spot problem areas. The success (or otherwise) of the enterprise is usually front-page news the following Monday.

Both Guns, Germs, and Steel written by Jared Diamond and The Rise of Christianity written by Rodney Stark stress the importance of epidemic diseases to explain social change. Stark and Diamond explain the importance of epidemics and diseases in their own way. Stark concentrates on the expansion of Christianity and the social structures it creates mainly within the Roman Empire. While Diamond is more concerned with the epidemics that gave an advantage to Europeans during the process of colonization, which allowed Europeans to become dominant over the societies found in the new world.
Christianity according to Stark seemed to rely heavily on the idea that bad things are going to happen to human beings. Christianity according to Stark was built to deal with devastating events such as plagues and epidemics. Without the epidemic Stark argues that Christianity may not have become as strong as it did due to its ability to cope.
Christianity brought people together during and after epidemics, due to the belief that God would not love man without man loving each other. Providing support and helping each other in times of need allowed a higher survival rate within the church. This is showed by the increasing percentage of the population that Christians made up after each epidemic within the Roman Empire. The growth of Christianity was attributed to the strength of their moral character, during epidemics Christians would care for the sick even if they were non-believers. Outsiders of the faith seeing this, would be enticed to join the religion because of the community that the church and the faith of Christianity providing.
Christians saw the epidemic as the "schooling" or "testing" of their faith. While other faiths could only offer fear and doubt. Christianity offered answers and solutions, again leading to an increase in membership. The...

Forget fashion. Forget adidas, nike and anything that claims to be original. In September 2015, 24 refugee children from Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Serbia, Albania and Romania under the age of 9-15 years took part in their first graphic design training session in order to create their own personal and very original soccer apparel.
Under the artistic direction of Timm Hartmann, the children practiced autographs, designed logos, discussed details in typography, worked out tactical moves on big A0 papers with broad markers and remembered inspiring quotes by their parents, trainers or siblings and wrote them down.

The result of their work was critiqued, color and form of the jerseys were coordinated. In order to achieve a uniform appearance in future matches, the players learnt screen printing techniques to finally put their logos onto soccer socks.
During the project the kids gained insight into creative processes as well as a graphic designer's wide spectrum of tasks. At the same time the children practiced evaluating their own strengths, seeing their diverse backgrounds as a chance and, eventually, being a team outside the field as well.

Now I'm going to have you read this article first. Then an article about my home state of Montana. It seems that some states; mostly poor states, like mine are thinking that having the most dangerous terrorists in the world housed in their state a "cash cow."
From Fox News:
LONDON — The United States is "relatively close" to making decisions on what to do with an initial group of Guantanamo Bay detainees, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday.
Holder spoke to The Associated Press during a flight to London, the first of several stops where he will visit with European leaders to discuss terrorism, drugs, and cyber-crime.
The attorney general did not say how much longer he thought it would take to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba. Before officials can meet President Obama's January deadline, the U.S. must first decide which detainees to put on trial and which to release to the U.S. or other countries.
My State already bids for mentally disturbed people from around the country. I know, I worked for the State for 5 years as an evening Nurse Supervisor for a one of these facilities. So now we wanted terrorists. But thankfully it didn't happen. We have enough prisons and mental institutions. Why don't we stick with money within our state using our resources, like cattle, wheat and such. We export all our food now. I know because I am forced to buy beef from outside our country. Yea I know there are co-op programs here, not enough. I'd like to buy from my local farm/ranch.
From USA TODAY:
The city council in Hardin, Mont., thought it had a great idea for filling it's underutilized jail — bid for the contract to take the detainees from Gitmo, according to the Billings Gazette,
But two days after it voted to pursue the contract, the council has run into a few obstacles — namely, the entire Montana Congressional delegation.
Good for our elected cockroaches of the fine State of Montana.

Puducherry, May 20 (PTI) Lt Governor Kiran Bedi today directed police officials in the Union Terittory to maintain records better and ensure periodic reviews of the same.
As part of her weekend visit to peripheral villages, she inspected a police station in Modeliarpet on the Puducherry-Cuddalore route and verified records of history- sheeters.
She also directed the Superintendent of Police and also the Station House Officer to maintain the records better and in keeping with the rules.
In a press release, the Lt Governors said after the visit she felt that the "records needed better maintenance and also more professional care."
She also advised the Superintendent of Police and the SHO to update records, make entries of sureties and next hearing dates and also dates of inspection with observations.
Bedi also pointed out that the senior supervisory officers should carry out periodical inspection of the entries and should hold periodical reviews.
The release said that the former IPS officer felt that these actions "will go a long way in prevention of violent crimes."
She also issued instructions to police department that the vehicles that were impounded or confiscated should be disposed of by moving the courts.
The Lt Governor said a separate log book should be maintained for disposal of complaints received from the police control room (over phone number 100).
Bedi, who was on her visit on her bicycle was accompanied by police officials and also staff of her office.

Academic Credit – 15 Units
To obtain the Certificate students must complete a
minimum of 15 units of academic credit based on core courses in the Health
Information Management program. All
courses are delivered online following a cohort model. The Certificate is designed
for individuals interested in learning the theories, policies and best
practices of working with health information and do not wish to pursue the
Health Information Management diploma.
The course will examine the principles and practices of health records management as it pertains to the collection, maintenance, storage, retrieval, retention and destruction of records. Records management practices are presented in relation to the legal and regulatory requirements. Policy development processes for various technological systems are explored and analyzed as a function of the HIM professional.
The course covers fundamental theories and
principles of health information management including data types, data
acquisition, data standards, data quality and data uses and users. Learners
will develop an appreciation of how data is collected, processed and used in
healthcare settings and the role that data plays in decision-making (including
an understanding of the complexities involved in transforming data into
information and knowledge). The course will introduce learners to the roles and
responsibilities of the HIM professional in the storage, use, retention and
destruction of health records in both paper and electronic record systems and
the central role of health information management in quality assurance and
performance improvement, planning and management of resources, risk management,
research and education.
Improvements and increased efficiencies in the
health care system depend upon the collection and coding and classification of
health data. Once captured in a standard format, health data can be used to
support management, planning and delivery of health services, research and education.
The principles of data quality and the ICD-10-CA classification system, the
current standard within Canadian hospitals and health facilities, will be
examined and applied in a laboratory component that includes working with a
coding tool, and coding exercises for the ICD-10-CA, CCI and SNOMED codes.
This course will examine the
"concepts, principles and applications of the rights and obligations
related to individual access, privacy and confidentiality of personal health
information" (CHIMA, 2010, 21). This examination will involve health information
data and records in both paper and electronic formats. The course will review
legal regulations and legislations currently in place for the collection, use,
storing and sharing of personal health information. Learners will study privacy
requirements, responsibilities and risks associated with the life cycle of
personal health information as Health Information Managers, Health
Informaticians, and members of a health care organization. Various legal,
ethical and professional standards as they relate to privacy and access will be
presented, discussed and critically analyzed from the perspective of the
consumer, organization and Health Information professional.
This course is designed to develop
the learner's understanding of the different types of information systems used
in the health care sector, and how these systems interact with one another for
the safe and secure exchange of personal health information. The course will
present the key technology and information system concepts and components used
throughout the information life cycle. Learners will examine the relationships
between health information stakeholders in terms of how health records are
collected, stored, accessed, shared, maintained, and secured in health
information systems. (3 units)

Although many might assume consumption-loving Western countries like the United States would top a listing of nations that use the most energy per person, Americans are far from the world's worst energy pigs.
Energy-centered news site Oilprice.com released the list in late September. The ranking is based on an analysis of the latest World Bank data on energy used per person, measured in "kilograms of oil equivalent," which means the units of energy equal to what's generated by 1 kilo of crude.
Turns out there are some surprising and unexpected culprits, including a Caribbean country and one in Southeast Asia.

Five students of three leading international schools in Colombo, have been arrested by the Welikada Police for alleged illegal entry into, and damage to property, of Gateway International School, Rajagiriya.
Police said the students who are minors, had jumped over the parapet wall of the school at night in the first week of August, when the school had been closed for vacation, and had broken into the main office and removed the CCTV cameras prior to vandalizing the premises.
The misdemeanour of the teen hooligans had been captured by another CCTV camera, leading to their arrest by the police.
One of the students was arrested in Battaramulla yesterday. Subsequently, based on information provided by the suspect, four other students were also taken into custody by yesterday afternoon. Police said the suspects are students of three leading international schools in Colombo.
Police Spokesman, SSP Buddika Siriwardene, said the suspects would be produced in Court today (2).
He added the police are on the look out to arrest another suspect in connection with the incident.

Oh, my middle child.
I adore her. I adore all three of my kids, of course, but each in her own special way. Before I even had Olivia, I wanted a girl named Isabelle that I could call Izzy. The name was vetoed for Olivia, obviously, but I got my way the second time. Only because my husband was dead set against Anabelle Lee (after the Poe poem) and I was a very angry pregnant woman with her. He would have let me name her anything else to keep me happy.
So, there's my Izzy.
And she totally embodies the nickname to me. It's a wild and crazy sounding name and she's very wild and crazy. She's my little tomboy princess, out playing in the mud in ruffles. You can bet that if I'm ready to pull my hair out at the end of the day, she's why. She has a quick temper and she can be really mean to her sisters, and she loves to destroy things. But she's extremely funny and so unique. She reminds me a lot of myself. Except the temper part, that's her Daddy. =)
But there's an entire other side to her that she doesn't show as much at home. She's a very different child at school. At my first conference this year with her teacher, she just gushed over how sweet Isabelle is and how everyone loves her. She's friends with everyone and will go out of her way to make someone feel better if they get hurt, or are nervous, or feeling left out. I catch little bits and pieces of that at home, but not much.
Yesterday, we had another conference. Her teacher kept calling her "Belle." I asked Isabelle if everyone at school calls her that and she said that they do. It just seems so odd to me. "Belle" makes me think of some sweet, pink-frosted angel, not my Izzy.
I guess, though, it does fit her there. I'm glad she's a big sweetheart at school, and there are times I wish she'd bring some of it home, but I'm rather fond of my Izzy. Mud and all.

Come to Me Softly by A.L. Jackson

From the New York Times bestselling author of Come to Me Quietly comes a scorching new adult romance in the Closer to You series.
A second chance at life…
A second chance at love…
Jared Holt never thought he deserved either—until he found both in the arms of Aly Moore. Aly has loved Jared for as long as she can remember, and she's more than ready for the future they're making together. But Jared can't help remembering his own family. And he'll never forgive himself for what happened to them. How can he allow himself the very happiness he once destroyed?
To live a life worthy of Aly, Jared knows he has to stop running and finally put his past to rest. But when he decides to face his demons head on, he encounters more than he bargained for: a dangerous mix of jealousy, lies, and dishonest intentions. When those intentions threaten Aly, Jared loses all control, giving into the rage that earned him his bad boy reputation years before. And he'll fight to protect her no matter what it costs…even if he destroys himself in the process.
3.5 stars – So many feels, too little story.
The sequel to the highly emotional Come to Me Quietly gives us the follow up to Jared and Aly's story and we get to see them move forward with lots of detail, lots of swoon, and a beautifully happy ending that these two characters thoroughly deserve.
Warning – this will be a little spoilery if you haven't read the first book.
This book picks up the morning after Come to Me Quietly finished, with Jared and Aly revelling in their reunion. Jared is still broken, but he knows that he can't live his life without Aly in it, and he is finally accepting of his importance in Aly's life, and how much she loves him. He still believes he isn't good enough, but he needs her too much to walk away.
The significance of what Jared and Aly mean to each other is a huge part of this book, and there is a lot of time spent exploring that. Jared, in particular, clings to Aly as the only light in his life.
"Without you, I don't have anything. And you've given me everything."
Maybe…just maybe…there was something in this fucked-up world I was supposed to be living for. Last night had only confirmed it. I was living for her.
But despite the happiness that the two of them have finally found together, he doesn't know how to atone for his past, and his guilt and self-hatred slowly continue to consume him.
Shame twisted through me on a gale-force wind – flashes of … what I had done. They all clashed in a violent fury against the love I'd found in this life, and the light that was Aly.
The battles that Jared goes through are absolutely heartbreaking – for both him and Aly. Although it takes a long time to get there, I really like the way that his big moment comes about, and I felt so proud of him when he finally started dealing with his demons. (view spoiler). And through it all Aly continues to be her fantastic and supportive self. She loves Jared with everything in her. She believes in him, and is so committed to him, and I love the way she stands by him without question.
This man was mine.
Volatile yet pure.
Corrupted yet worthy.
My beautifully broken boy.
I'm a huge fan of AL Jackson, and love the way she writes, but I must confess I struggled with this one. To me, it felt like an overly extended epilogue. There are pages and pages and pages of the two of them gushing about their love for each other – both in dialogue, but more frequently as an inner monologue. It's beautifully swoony, but it got to be a little OTT even for me, and I am a self-declared sap of the highest order! And for a huge proportion of the book, that was pretty much all that was happening in the story. Yes, Jared and Aly were moving forward, but it was all dragged out in such minute detail (with yet another overlay of love and gushing) that I found myself getting bored, and I actually had to put this book down and go off and read something else. Twice!
This is definitely a book for mad Jared and Aly fans who want lots of love and gush, and who want to witness every single little moment of them moving on in their lives together. The writing is beautifully emotive, and I'm glad I persevered with the book – it was worth it for the story that takes place in the final 20%.
So yeah, mixed feelings, but I'm generally satisfied. 3.5 stars.
An advanced copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Avoiding Discrimination When Recruiting With Social Media Tools (HR Training)
Venue: Online Event
Location: Palo Alto, California, United States
|Event Date/Time: Apr 16, 2012
|End Date/Time: Apr 16, 2012
There is a wealth of personal information available in a social media profile. Much of this information is the same kind of information that would be requested on a traditional job application. But social media profiles often contain information about protected class status; gender, race and age may be inferred from photographs, dates of birth may be displayed, and information about family members, relationship status and religious beliefs may be present. Having access to this kind of information can create the potential for intentional discrimination.
Additionally, relying exclusively on social media for recruiting may lead to unintentional discrimination. There are significant differences in the demographic characteristics of the typical social media user and the typical individual in the civilian labor force. These demographic differences can lead to certain groups being excluded from the recruiting process, thereby creating unintentional discrimination.
In this presentation, we discuss how to avoid these kinds of pitfalls and ease the fears associated with recruiting via social media.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the advantages of using social media in recruiting.

The annual London reunion brought former clients together to acknowledge and celebrate their achievements in recovery with RAPt and revisit the friendships created through our programmes.
Former client Ilario and his successful business, which hires people also in recovery from addiction, catered this year's RAPt graduate reunion, .
The day encompassed many inspiring stories of recovery, uplifting music performances and overall proof that RAPt's work transforms lives forever.
Anika, Senior Fundraising Officer for RAPt, said: "There were things I learnt that day and phenomenal people I met, but something that resonated quite clearly was that addiction doesn't discriminate. So many people had vast experiences with their addiction and there was only one common factor. Recovery. Recovery being one day, one month, one year… they were all part of a community that RAPt had built. I could see that each person had fought for their own recovery and they deserved it. It was inspirational."
The RAPt graduate reunion took place on 1 October 2016 at the Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church.

The latest mission of the Space Shuttle Discovery (that's STS-120, fact fans!) has already been blessed with something of a Star Wars flavour as a lightsaber prop from Return Of The Jedi blasted into orbit alongside the crew on Tuesday October 23 at 11:38am. And yes, the really, really observant among would point out how that's yet another occurrence of Lucas' references to THX 1138, albeit a massively coincidental one.
The mission has been fraught with danger and complicated spacewalks to repair the International Space Station (all right, which clever dick decided to play Jedi?) So what better way to welcome them home than by putting together a delightful CD selection of greetings from Force fanatics around the globe?
"Fans from as far away as Australia, India and Poland have sent in their messages of support, and we're excited to present this to the crew when they come home," blabbed Roger Bornstein, marketing director for Space Center Houston in a release. It'll get presented to the crew at their official debriefing once they're back on terra firma, and if you want to add a congratulatory nugget of your own, you can log on to the official Star Wars site here.
We're sort of hoping many Bothans die to help bring them the information…

It's been a wild couple of months with a very full schedule—lest you think the piles of fabric and paperwork of my sewing room has finally swallowed me whole, here're some shots from the more fun moments. (The paperwork piles are very real, but no fun, so I won't subject you to them.)
Spring means picnic time with Miss Fluffinstuff! We couldn't resist putting her in the oilcloth picnic basked I sewed for Stitch.
I'm teaching next week for Quilters Anonymous near Seattle, so I just finished a new trapunto pillow class sample…
A while back I stole a few minutes for a trial run of some screen-printing on fabric—lots of fun!
I'm really itching to sew something with the test swatch, and my head's buzzing with ideas for designing and printing fabric. Sometime this summer I'm going to have to take a vacation to the print studio (that is, our garage) for some uninterrupted playtime. But not until after Quilt Market!

As well as Ella giving Sam the obligatory "Socks, Jocks and Singlets" for Fathers Day, I wanted to make a special gift for Sam with Ella.
So I thought it would be nice to capture her hand print on canvas, well initially I was thinking hands and feet, fortunately I gave that up as a bad joke and decided to stick to hand prints only. I then thought it would be nice if the card reflected the gift. So I decided on a fold out card with two hand prints and a couple of photo's of Ella in her creative mode, which includes lying under the table with paint brush in hand.
I padded the back of the canvas out with a hand towel, so that there was not as much give in it. Proceeded to cover her palms (one at a time in paint) and then practiced on card stock before tackling the canvas. Everytime I congratulated Ella on how well she had done, she tried to clap…. yes with her hand covered in paint. Also I probably should point out that this is not the smartest thing to do on a day when you do not have running water. I woke up to a leaking kitchen tap (a fine continual spray of water and a very large puddle of water) that morning, so I was waiting on the plumber to arrive and hence had the water off….. a bucket of swimming pool water and a large number of baby wipes did the trick.

EBay and Paypal are going to be stronger together, on Tuesday eBay issued a statement to its shareholders urging them to veto Carl Ichan's spin off proposal.
In the statement to its shareholders, eBay reemphasized the five essential reasons eBay benefits from its partnership with PayPal. Which include: 1. PayPal grows faster because of eBay; 2. the company accelerates PayPal's success; 3. data sharing leads to more profitable growth; 4. eBay provides sufficient capital for PayPal; 5. commerce and payment platforms are converging.
The board of directors wrote in a letter to its shareholders saying, "Our shareholders and our customers are best served by keeping PayPal and eBay together, no other payments competitor has achieved PayPal's success, because no other competitor has held a commerce platform like eBay."
A week ago, Ichan asked eBay to sell 20 percent of the PayPal payments unit in an initial public offering, his initial proposal called for a complete spin off.
Icahn who owns 2 percent stock in eBay, believes that selling off only part of PayPal would enable eBay to retain the benefits of a stand-alone PayPal, while still maintaining the efficiencies of having eBay and the payments unit together.
The board of directors at eBay has closely investigated activist investor Carl Ichan's proposal for a spin off and decided its not in the best interest of the company.
Icahn has recently nominated two of his employees: Jonathan Christodoro and Daniel Ninivaggi, to sit on the eBay board of directors.
Carl Celian Ichan is an stockbroker on Wall Street and he is the majority shareholder for Ichan Enterprises.
Paypal is e-commerce business that allows it users to send money transfers and make payments over the internet. In 2002, eBay purchased PayPal for $1.5 billion as a publicly traded company and wholly owned subsidiary of eBay.
eBay and Paypal Are Stronger Together, Shareholders Urged to Veto Ichan's Spin Off.

But how about champagne?
Originally, I wrote this in August, but just never got a chance to post it. Once Fall hit, I felt it was unnecessary, because fruit flies are obviously a problem of the summer, right?
While I absolutely love New Hampshire (I mean, c'mon, ducklings come to my patio to eat birdseed), one problem I have in New Hampshire that I didn't have in Boston is fruit flies. And they are merciless. Turn on the faucet and ten flies come out. Open the trash and it's like I'm recreating the Green Mile scene, only with my trash can playing Michael Clark Duncan's* role. Absolutely terrible.
But there's a quick fix for this problem (and a wonderful excuse to drink).
First, buy a nice bottle of champagne. Invite some friends over and enjoy a few glasses with a few strawberries. Just make sure to save about 1/5 of the bottle.
Then, simply leave the bottle out on the counter. The champagne won't smell to us, but it'll attract the flies like … er … flies. Keep it out for as long as you like -- surprisingly, it never looses potency. Just make sure to not look at the old champagne when you dump it down a (very empty) sink. It's enough to churn any strong stomach.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.MICHAEL SALVAGGIO, APPELLANT
NO. 736 Philadelphia, 1981, Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of the Common Pleas Court of Northampton County, Criminal, at No. 319, 1980.
George E. Goldstein, Pottstown, for appellant.
Donald B. Corriere, District Attorney, Easton, for Commonwealth, appellee.
Cavanaugh, McEwen and Hoffman, JJ.
Author: Mcewen
[ 307 Pa. Super. Page 388]
We here review an appeal from a judgment of sentence imposed after appellant was convicted following a non-jury trial of possession of cocaine and possession of methamphetamine and sentenced to two terms of imprisonment for a period of from five months to one year to be served concurrently.
Appellant expresses the following contentions in his brief:
1. An individual cannot be considered to be credible in order to establish probable cause to issue a search warrant when he has never provided information in the past and the police know nothing about his background other than he is a drug user and had done nothing to determine whether he is an honest individual.
2. The affidavit did not provide the issuing authority with a factually supported basis to conclude that contraband was present on the premises at the time of the search.
3. The failure to provide the issuing authority the information known about the informant constituted a material misstatement of fact.
The first contention of appellant requires a close scrutiny of the application for a search warrant and affidavit so as to
[ 307 Pa. Super. Page 389]
determine whether the district magistrate had a sufficient basis to determine there was probable cause for the issuance of a warrant to search the house at 417 Laubach Street, Hellertown, the residence of appellant. The distinguished Northampton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert A. Freedberg conducted a hearing upon the motion of appellant to suppress the evidence as a result of an illegal search and seizure, but refused appellant such relief.
When we review the decision of the trial court, we must determine whether the factual findings are supported by the record. In making this determination, we consider only the evidence of the witnesses of the Commonwealth and so much evidence of the defense as, fairly read in the context of the record as a whole, remains uncontradicted. If, when so viewed, the evidence supports the factual findings we are bound by such findings and may only reverse if the logical conclusions drawn therefrom are in error. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 467 Pa. 146, 151-152, 354 A.2d 886, 889 (1976). Our review of such evidence reveals that the factual findings of the suppression judge are supported by the record and we refer to those Findings of Fact to establish a factual basis for our discussion of this issue:
1. A member of the Pennsylvania State Police filed with a district magistrate an application for search warrant and affidavit seeking a search warrant for defendants' residence, 2 1/2 story red brick dwelling at 417 Laubach Street, Hellertown.
2. The probable cause averments contained therein are set forth as follows:
(1) Between the period of 25 to 31 October, 1979, affiant met with a confidential informant who related to affiant that one Vic Salvaggio is involved in the distribution of large quantities of cocaine and marijuana. That Vic Salvaggio rents vehicles and makes trips to New York and New Jersey to pick up said drugs. That further the said ...

It may be difficult to believe and I am more than somewhat embarrassed to say but after living in México and other Latin American countries for over twenty years my husband and I had never visited México City. We had driven around and through it, we had been bused around and through it, we had flown over it, but we had never spent a night or day in the capital of México. We had been intimidated by it's "Big Bad Boy" reputation for years.
It was time to right this horrible wrong! We recently returned from a visit to México City where we barely "scratched the surface" of this incredible megalopolis. We found Ciudad de México to be friendly, fascinating, vibrant, interesting, and fun. I can say I was totally captivated by this huge and sprawling city and am already looking forward to a return visit. As Tony Bourdain might say, "I am ready for more!
México's sprawling capital changed its official name in January, 2016 as it launched steps to become virtually like a federal state. For the past two centuries, the city has been known as "DF" from its official name of México Distrito Federal, or Federal District. But now the city of nearly nine million will be known as Ciudad de México City (México City) or CDMX. Just like the US capital of Washington, México City is distinct from the other thirty one states that make up the rest of the country of México.
As for the name of the new entity, there are some concerns over the confusion it might create given that México City will be the official name of the capital city of a country which is also named México which is also located within the State of México. All we have to remember, however, is in this context "México" is the city and we will be just fine!
The estimated population of the city proper is approximately nine million people and according to the most recent estimates the greater México City population is 21.2 million people. This makes it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere and also the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world! All of which begs the question: how does one count and estimate a number that great?
México's capital is both the oldest capital city in the Americas and one of two founded by Amerindians (Native Americans), the other being Quito. The city was originally built on an island in Lake Texcoco by the Aztecs in 1325 and was known as Tenochtitlán. It was almost completely destroyed in the 1521 siege of Tenochtitlan by the Spanish conquistadors. It was subsequently rebuilt by the Spanish in their traditional Spanish urban standards that existed at the time. It must have been truly amazing!
In 1524 the municipality of México City was established and known as México Tenochtitlán. In 1585 it became officially known as Ciudad de México. It served as the political, administrative, and financial center of a major part of the Spanish colonial empire. After independence from Spain was achieved, the federal district was created in 1824.
Now as an "alpha global city" México City is also one of the most important financial centers in the Americas. México City certainly has come a long way over the centuries!
Population Facts about México City
- More than 20 million people live in México City proper and its extended metropolitan area.
- The population of México City has grown by more than 20 million people in just over 110 years from 500,000 in 1900 to 21.2 million people in 2012.
- México City is the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world.
- Over 600,000 U.S. Americans live in Mexico City which is the largest concentration of Americans living outside of the USA.
- México City has the most museums in the world with more than 160 almost all of which are free on Sundays!
- The city also has over 100 art galleries and 30 concert halls.
- México City has the fourth highest number of theaters in the world after New York, London, and Toronto.
- The Museo Soumaya, was donated to the city by the then world's richest man, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim.
- The 10,000-seat National Auditorium in México City was named the Best Venue in the world.
- México City is the eighth richest city in the world.
- It is the richest city in Latin America.
- Mexico City is home to the world's second richest man, Carlos Slim, who is preceded by Bill Gates who recently moved up to first position.
Getting to know México City can definitely seem overwhelming because of its size and the vast amount of sites and places to visit. In order to avoid this uncomfortable feeling I would suggest limiting yourself to one or two venues each day as we did. After all, we don't want to do and see it all on our first visit even if it were humanly possible which it certainly isn't! And after getting a taste of the city I am guessing you will want to return again and again as I do.
Here are my recommendations for the first time visitor to México City as we were. It will give you a slight idea of what you can expect and if you are like me, it will wet your appetite for more.
The Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana)
The construction and decoration of this cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, took nearly three centuries. Construction began in 1573 and the building was dedicated, although still unfinished, in 1656. The cathedral is a composite of different style as a result of being built over such a long extended period of time.
Excavation of the great temple began in 1978 when the stone sculpture of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui was unearthed by electric company workers.This piece and many others found here are on display in the Templo Mayor museum which was inaugurated in 1987.
The National Palace (Palacio Nacional)
The National Palace is home to the offices of the president of Mexico and the Federal Treasury and is located on the East side of the Zocalo. This site has been a palace for the ruling class of Mexico since the Aztec empire and much of the current palace's building materials are believed to be from the original one that belonged to Moctezuma II.
To celebrate Mexican independence from Spain every year on September 16th at midnight, the president of Mexico rings a bell from the central balcony of the National Palace and shouts: "Viva Mexico!" The crowd gathered in the Zocalo responds in return: "Viva!" This annual tradition is referred to as "El Grito" (the shout) which called for independence from Spain and started the war of independence which lasted from 16 September 1810 to 27 September 1821. It is re-enacted and celebrated in each and every pueblo, town, and city throughout México on the l6th of September, Mexican Independence Day.
Inside this grandiose colonial palace you can see Diego Rivera murals (painted between 1929 and 1951) that depict Mexican civilization from the arrival of Quetzalcoatl (the Aztec plumed serpent god) to the post-revolutionary period of the 1930's. The nine murals covering the north and east walls of the first level above the patio chronicle indigenous life before the Spanish conquest. They are simply marvelous and cannot be missed!
The Great City of Tenochtitlan ("Market At Tenochtitlán") by Diego Rivera at the National Palace in Mexico City.
It is an easy walk from the Plaza with a stop along the way for an energy-restoring traditional lunch before reaching the elegant Fine Arts Palace which is architecturally and artistically one of the most beautiful public buildings we have ever experienced.
The Fine Arts Palace been called the "Cathedral of Art in México" and is considered to be the most important theater and the most important cultural center in México City. It was declared an artistic monument in 1987 by UNESCO.
A little history: President Porfirio Diaz ordered the construction of this building in the early 1900's. He planned to inaugurate it as part of the celebrations of the centenary of México's independence from Spain. The Mexican Revolution, however, broke out in 1910 and interrupted its construction and completion. As a result it was not completed until 1934. With its marble Beaux-Arts exterior which is lit in pink and lilac in the evening and its Art Deco interior this Palace of Fine arts is truly a dramatic structure.
The most stunning attraction of the Fine Arts Palace, however, is the stage "curtain" which is a stained glass fold able panel created out of nearly a million pieces of iridescent colored glass by Tiffany's in New York. This stage curtain is the only one of its type in any opera house in the world and weighs 24 tons. The design of the curtain has the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in the center.
Also found in the Palace of Fine Arts are the brilliant murals painted by Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco, the most famous names of Mexican muralism. The Fine Arts Palace is without a doubt a must-visit destination and not to be missed on a trip to México City!
One last thing to mention: the top floor of the Fine Arts Palace which is covered by a glass and iron roof contains exhibitions from renowned Mexican architects including models, plans, and photographs of major works. There is definitely something for everyone!
The Central Post Office is located in downtown México City. This ornate "palace" was designed by the Italian architect Adamo Boari who also made the plans for the Fine Arts Palace. President Porfirio Diaz inaugurated the building in 1907. The impressive interior of the Post Office Palace is definitely not like any post office I have ever seen and is simple gorgeous!
Chapultepec Park and Chapultepec Castle (Bosque de Chapultepec y Castillo de Chapultepec)
Chapultepec Park, more commonly called the Forest of Chapultepec or Bosque de Chapultepec in México City, is one of the largest city parks in the Western Hemisphere with a size of approximately l,700 acres. The name Chapultepec stems from the Nahuatl word chapoltepēc which means "at the grasshopper's hill."
As many of you might have surmised I have a great interest in history, culture, and travel. But my greatest unrequited passion is for anthropology and archaeology. I had heard and read that the National Museum of Anthropology in México was rated #1 in the WORLD. And now I can say without a doubt that it did not fail any of my expectations. It was beyond wonderful and fantastic. So much so that it is on the top of my list for reasons to return to México City as soon as possible.
The National Museum of Anthropology of México City contains the most significant collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts to be found anywhere in the world. Sculptures, stelae, and frescoes of Aztec, Toltec, Olmec, and Maya are found in this fabulous architectural setting. These lost civilizations are represented and displayed in such a manner that is simply stunning.
Closing comments: Some of the places I would like to visit on our next trip to México City include the following which you might also want to check out:
Much, much more of the National Museum of Anthropology: WIKIPEDIA LINK
Teotihuacán Mesoamerican pyramids and ruins: TEOTIHUACAN
Frida Kahlo Museum: FRIDA KAHLO MUSEUM
Diego Rivera Museum: DIEGO RIVERA MUSEUM
Xochimilco: XOCHIMILCO
P.S. I would recommend the following when planning your visit to México City: Booking an apartment through Airbnb, Inc., using UBER for transportation, and staying in La Condesa neighborhood, and having dinner at the convenient and friendly Mexsi Bocu restaurant.

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa
This Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Today's post is brought to you by Kellie Stamps and lots of caffeine. I am dying to go back to the beach already but for now I am just reliving our trip from a few weeks ago while making some scrap pages. I can still feel the sun and smell the salt in the air while I sit here typing this up. That is what this hobby is all about to me. Remembering the fun things we do as a family.
This page was made using my August Gossamer Blue kits and the newest set of stamps by Kellie Stamps. This set is called "Seriously?" and is one of my absolute faves.
Lately I have been loving grid style layouts. All the little pieces from the GB kits fit perfectly here making a very busy but photo-centric page. This is absolutely my favorite photo from our beach trip. I love it so much I may actually scrap it a few times. haha
Hope you are having a lovely summer and have lots of time to put those memories to paper. Don't forget to get on over to Kellie's store and pre-order your stamps. They start shipping the 15th!

S-woooon: the sun's officially on its way! So we're getting our spaces ready for a look as bold, bright and fun as dad's Hawaiian shirt. Introducing Ibiza Wanderlust, the trend that has us slapping on the SPF 50 just looking at it. "Wanderlust": a strong impulse to explore. Discovering the unknown, finding treasures, prime Insta-ops, sounds more like a great shopping trip, right? Grab your shades and chuck on a backpack: here's what you'll find on your "travels" to Primark.
Blue fringed cushion $14, flamingo light $3.50, pink tassel cushion $11, medallion duvet cover $18, silver sequin cushion $9, circle cushion $7, yellow cushion $7
Think disco balls, metallic foil and fluffy cotton candy, packaged to perfection in one décor trend – like a well-stuffed suitcase. Cool patterns, touchable textures and cute kitsch accessories are the foundation of Ibiza Wanderlust. And the colors? What dreams are made of. Psychedelic dreams, obvs, with silver, sheer lilac and aqua splashes taking the lead. When journeying to the land of color-popping spaces, anchor key patterns against block pastel brights (purple is our winner): We. Are. Tripping.
Nothing says "Hola!" like neon orange, fringed details – and SEQUINS (*gasp*). We're going crazy for chrome with high-shine metallic finishes, reflective prints, mirrored tassel cushions and mosaic candles – let's take a vacay from boring spaces this summer, K? Fun candles, accent cushions and unicorn string lights (!) are all lookin' fab – and the best part? Coordinated clashing is a top trend again for 2017, so you can find a home for literally everything (Primark tip #457: you'll regret not picking up a basket at the door).
Last up on our Ibiza expedition: we gotta talk prints. These are not for the faint-hearted, honey! But in the name of traveling to new décor horizons, think paisley, geometric, tropical birds: we have it all. Remember: wanderlust-ing is all about new discoveries, so if you haven't experimented yet with purple, green and everything in-between, now's the time to do it!
Traveling the world vs. buying new cushions: okay, it's an unfair comparison. But with accessory prices starting at just $1.50, a shopping trip won't hold you back! We all know Primark is an experience. So trek into the store right now – you have some serious wandering and lusting to do in our Homeware section!

We have reached question 9 in Kevin Pelton's 10 questions to solve in the NBA
Question 9: What is the market value for player performance?
Obviously this question is asked a lot especially when people wonder why athletes are paid millions of dollars to play a sport. What warrants a high salary? Is Lebron James really worth $50 million like he thinks (or $40 million according to Pelton)? Are a lot of players overpaid?
I like Pelton's use of WARP (wins above replacement metric), but I don't think this necessarily encompasses all what a player is worth. In addition to the number of wins a player can provide a team, there are the other aspects of revenue management that need to be included. Such things are the ability to generate ticket sales, sponsorship opportunities (as we will start to see on backboards next year) and other revenue-generating circumstances.
Are players paid what they are worth -- I think it really comes to a comparison to other players. It's not the dollar amount that is of interest (although a GM or owner might say otherwise), but rather it is how much a player makes compared to others. Lebron should have the highest salary in basketball, but chose not to in order to help form the Big 3. Therefore, does it really matter if players are paid what they are worth (Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in 2013)? It only really matters that players aren't overpaid (Kobe anyone?) and organizations aren't "losing" money on their supposed stars.
If it came down to player performance through various statistics (personal and +/-) and WARP, sign me up! Otherwise (and unfortunately) it seems to come down to perception, mania (Lin and Terry), agent skills and greed that drive salaries up and down -- and pure stats lose the battle here...

The Insolvency Service has disqualified an adviser for nine years for failings relating to the transfer of low-risk pension products into high-risk storage-pod investments in Sipps.
The Insolvency Service says Keith Popplewell misused his position as an "approved person" since at least 16 July 2012.
It says Popplewell's firm, The Pensions Office, failed to take into account clients' financial circumstances, objectives, and attitude to risk. It also did not make sure there were appropriate systems, controls, risk analysis and management information in place.
According a notice from the service, the firm has not completed a "six-monthly" client compliance review since September 2010 and did not make sure the advice it gave was explained properly to clients by unregulated introducers.
Popplewell's actions led to the FCA removing TPO's permissions to give regulated pensions advice from 29 May 2013.
The Insolvency Service says at least 327 of TPO's clients have invested at least £12m into storage-pods and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme has received 265 applications for compensation.
So far 61 of the claims have been found eligible and paid and at least £1.5m has so far been paid out by the FSCS to clients of TPO. 169 claims are currently under assessment.

In Development
Projects currently being developed by the MidCoast Watersheds Council
South Beaver Creek Riparian Restoration
The headwaters of South Beaver Creek are in timberland, some in Siuslaw NF, some private. The streams drop quickly to low elevation, then are low gradient for most its length. These low gradient reaches flow through flat valley floors that experience extensive flooding in winter. These bottomlands are heavily vegetated with reed-canary grass, which in this environment is very effective a preventing establishment of woody vegetation. Most of the area lacks effective riparian buffers.
This project aims to enhance riparian vegetation along South Beaver Creek and Walker creek, a direct tributary to Alsea Bay. These are areas that are mostly dominated by non-native reed canary grass, and where channel simplification and alterations have been common in the past to "improve" pastures for grazing. This project would focus on planting of riparian vegetation to shade out reed canary grass, increase shade to reduce stream temperatures and planting of beaver food base to encourage beaver activity. Also, LWD placement is being considered to increase stream complexity and rearing habitat. This project is moving forward with a phased approach, with phase I consisting of seven landowners currently agreeing to take part.
Steer Creek LWD and Riparian Enhancement
The Steer Creek watershed comprises approximately 10.8 Km sq. in the Oregon Coast Range. In its upper reaches (above river mile 5.0), the stream lies within a moderately steep V-shaped valley, where aquatic habitats are dominated by rapids and riffles interspersed with a mix of dammed, scour and plunge pools. Below RM 5.0 the valley widens and the channel is principally terrace constrained (70-100 %) all the way to the mouth and its confluence with Rock Cr.
Two general types of land use affect Steer Creek and its ability to support Coho production: Timber harvest on the adjacent hillslopes and rural agricultural (livestock grazing). Lower reaches of the basin are bordered by active and abandoned pastures with a limited riparian canopy. Temperature limitations are a potential concern for Steer Cr and the mainstem of Rock below its confluence.
Previous wood placements in the basin occurred in 1996-97 and 2006-2007. Much of the wood from these projects has either been buried by sediment or has been pushed out of the main channel, limiting interaction with the creek. We are proposing to give the system another shot of Large Woody Debris, as well as assess past riparian planting projects and how they could be augmented.

This year, I am raising money for two charities: the Fishermen's Mission and The Stroke Association. The Fishermen's Mission support deep sea fishermen – the guys who put food on your plate. It's one of the toughest and most dangerous peacetime occupations, and one of their goals is to provide fishermen with a lightweight survival suit, so they can do their job safely.Now the technical bit: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me:Fishermen's Mission gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
As always, there will be more over on http://martinlittle.com/ and on Twitter/Facebook.

Right off the bat you may be puzzled as to why you need a guide on shirt tucking? You've probably been doing it since your school years and it's hardly rocket science is it?
Tucking in your shirt changes your overall appearance. It creates a more refined, polished you and makes you look that little bit more 'put together'. Of course you knew this; you do it every time you attend work or an event that requires some sort of formal presentation.
Experimenting with shirt tucking however, hasn't been a journey embarked upon by most. It's always dangerous ground when tampering with an age-old practise. The shirt has been a focal point of menswear in a way only a pair of jeans can imagine – every man, without fail, owns at least one button-up.
From here on in we will introduce the latitude of ways you can tuck your shirts and how each one represents a different attitude, mostly to the event – but mainly to your host.
The Traditional Tuck
The one you've been using religiously to smarten up since you were 12 years old.
If like me you struggle to find a well-fitted shirt (and the cost of going bespoke is simply unfathomable), there is a simple trick that will help avoid that infamous unflattering billowy appearance.
First off avoid stuffing your shirt into your trousers through the use of moving your hand in a saw like motion around your waist. Nine times out of ten it looks hurried and far from professional. Instead pull up your trousers around a flattened crease-free shirt.
Furthermore wearing your shirt tails un-tucked is neither 'cool' in the rebellious sense, nor stylish; it gives off the vibe that you are being forced into wearing formal dress when you'd rather opt for some lounge-about sorts. The "I'm dressed up, but not really" trend at the opening of the century was a non-starter. Its short, Hollywood black tie attitude became embodied in rock stars such as Julian Casablancas, before quickly petering out.
To avoid the unfavourable billowing effect, simply fold all the excess at the back and sides into a small pleat. With your spare hands – or fingers – pull up your trousers and your pseudo-fitted shirt will leave you looking so dapper Mr. Draper would be taking note. A belt will help keep this fold in place.
To present the ultimate in immaculate shirt fitting, align your buttons with your fly in the mirror. Don't forget to take a few guilt-free moments of self-admiration at your impeccable ensemble.
Rocking a traditional tuck with your casual wear is very much down to personal preference. Doing so will go a long way in smartening up your looks or adding some Parisian panache that so many of us strive for.
The Preppy Half Tuck
Aptly named by Ralph Lauren, the origin of the 'half tuck' lies with athletes who would pull their shirt tails from their trousers after stepping off their horses.
The logistics of this tuck make it an option when wearing polo shirts and t-shirts, although it comes with the limitation of appearing effortless (it's only a limitation as far as you consider it one).
Achieving the air of relaxed elegance – the type often exhibited by the gentleman on Ralph Lauren's bankroll – isn't an easy task. Never ones to leave you in the lurch, follow our two golden rules and you will be well on your way to tucking away any doubts:
- The preppy half tuck should only be used when wearing casual apparel; or only if insistent on looking like a 14-year-old delinquent.
- Subtlety. Do not even comprehend wearing garish belts with enlarged buckles. They do little but pull you away from the implied elegance – the tuck has already allowed you to go as far as you can.
The 'Beckham' Half Tuck
Our recent article on David Beckham's style reinvention captured how his style has matured in both a casual and sartorial sense. Many things can be said about Beckham's style – both past and present – but few can refute the fact he is the archetypal style icon.
What many love about his casual approach is often unrecognisably achievable and lies with the ability to keep things simple and subtle. Individuality also helps shape his personal style and over the years Becks has been snapped wearing his shirt in a rather unique fashion.
A variety of tabloids have credited his obsessive-compulsive disorder for this particular element of his dress. Whatever the reality may be, he has certainly created a niche which he has made work for him.
Rocking a different shirt tuck can quickly establish a niche in your own personal style. It's a great way of breaking out of the crowd and adding some understated individuality.
- Are you a shirt tucking pro, with a vast repertoire of different tucks in your locker?
- Are there any more obscure tucks that have not been mentioned?
Let us know in the comments below.

Grateful Dead : Scarlet Begonias : Live at the Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ, April 27th, 1977
This video occupies a place of prominence in our collection. We love especially Phil's interpretation of the tabla on his bass guitar. One of our top five Dead songs, Scarlet has been known to induce rapid facemelt, especially at the tail end when it bleeds into Fire on the Mountain. 1977 stands as one of the Dead's most prolific periods for live performances. Detractors lament the screeching intrusion of Donna Jean Godchaux's vocals on many of the jams, but most recognize that the 1977 run captured lightning in a bottle. This concert was simulcast in New York City on WNEW, which must have been a treat for those cruising the dial that evening. We remember simulcast concerts. We remember holding our cassette player up to the radio speaker to tape shows. Those tapes no longer exist, sadly.
