1. Summary
Taser is a pistol-like device that can incapacite an individual through the use of an electrical current. Only Conducted Energy Devices manufactured by Taser International are currently authorised for use by police forces in England and Wales. It is less lethal than a convention firearm and provides a valuable tactical option for the police when faced with violence or threats of violence of such severity that force is needed to protect the public, themselves or the individual concerned.
Taser has been authorised for use by the police in accordance with the procedures for authorising the police use of less lethal weapons. This process includes an independent assessment of the potential medical impact and rigorous testing of the equipment to ensure its fitness for use. Every incident in which Taser is deployed – whether it is fired or not – is recorded by the local police force and a report is sent to the Home Office for collation. The data, summarised and published provides information as to Taser's operational effectiveness, its medical implications, and makes transparent the levels and types of usage by the police.
The figures presented in this report detail the number of uses of Taser. Only the highest level of 'use' for each Taser deployed is recorded, refered to in this report as 'highest use' (for more information see the 'Breakdown of Taser use' section). Taser use is defined by College of Policing Authorised Professional Practice.
The figures show the number of Taser 'uses' as opposed to the number of Taser 'incidents'. This is designed to ensure full transparency on Taser deployment as there may be more than one 'use' of Taser at an 'incident'. Every time a Taser is used (fired, angle-drive stunned, drive stunned, red-dotted, arced, aimed or drawn) a record is made by the police officer and a short form is submitted. These are collated in the Home Office database.
Key facts from this report are:
- Total police use of Taser has increased year on year from 2009 to 2011,
- The proportion of Taser where the 'highest use' is 'fired' remained constant through 2010 and 2011 at about a fifth, after declining from 2009,
- The most common 'highest use' of a Taser was 'red dot' in each of the last two years.
The figures presented in this report cover the period from January 2009 to December 2011 of which the data for January 2010 to December 2011 is being published for the first time. The next publication will be in March 2014 and cover figures for 2012 and 2013. After this point, Police use of Taser statistics will be published every 6 months.
The last Taser statistics release was in March 2011 and covered the period to March 2010. There has been a delay to releasing figures due to changes in the data collection method (for more information see the 'Data quality and use of data' section below). Following difficulties in moving to the new database, this report re-establishes official statistics on the Police use of Taser statistical publication by publishing figures for 2010 and 2011.
2. Background
In 2004, following a trial in five forces (Thames Valley, North Wales, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and the Metropolitan Police Service), it was agreed to allow chief officers of all police forces in England and Wales to make Taser available to authorised firearms officers. The Home Office announced on 19 July 2007 that authorised police firearms officers in England and Wales would be able to use Taser (from 20 July 2007) in a greater set of circumstances. These officers are now able to deploy Taser in operations or incidents where the use of firearms is not authorised, but where they are facing violence or threats of violence of such severity that they would need to use force to protect the public, themselves or the subject.
It was also announced in July 2007 that the deployment of Taser by specially trained police units who are not firearms officers, but who are facing similar threats of violence, would be trialled in ten police forces. The 12-month trial commenced on 1 September 2007 and finished on 31 August 2008. It took place in the following forces: Avon & Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, Gwent, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Metropolitan Police Service, Northamptonshire, Northumbria, North Wales and West Yorkshire.
Following the success of the trial, from 1 December 2008, Taser use was extended to specially trained units in accordance with ACPO policy and guidance. This set out that Taser can only be used where officers would be facing violence or threats of violence of such severity that they would need to use force to protect the public, themselves and/or the subject(s).
Linked to this wider roll out, the Home Office made available 10,000 additional Tasers which Chief Officers were able to bid for based on their own operational requirements. These additional Tasers were deployed to forces as soon as bids from forces were assessed and the procurement process was complete. Not all forces chose to immediately widen the use of Taser. In addition, for those forces who did, the roll-out was incremental given the need for officers in Specially Trained Units to be fully trained.
3. Total Taser use
Total Taser use figure for England and Wales has increased each 6 months since 2009 (Table 1.1). The percentage increase between 2010 and 2011 is much lower than the equivalent comparison of 2010 to 2009. For the total use of Taser figures by force see Table 1. The total positive increase in the number of Taser uses is made up of varying movement for individual forces, including some forces where the use of Taser has declined over the two years.
It is highly likely the large increase in the use of Taser between 2009 and 2010 is explained by the wider roll out of Taser following the successful trial of Specially Trained Units. Appendix 1 demonstrates that a number of forces chose to introduce STUs in 2009 so, if they have trained their additional officers it is likely the whole cadre would have been trained by 2010.

4. Breakdown of Taser use
Taser use is now recorded against seven categories: Drawn, Aimed, Arced, Red Dotted, Drive Stun, Angled Drive Stun and Fired. Only the highest level of 'use' for each Taser deployed is recorded. The table below provides information on each use and ranks them in terms of 'highest use'.
|Highest use
|The Taser is fired with a live cartridge installed. When the trigger is pulled, the probes are fired into the subject so that the electrical circuit is completed and an incapacitating effect delivered.
|Angled Drive Stun
|The officer fires the weapon with a live cartridge installed. However one of the probes does not attach itself properly. The officer then holds the Taser against the subject's body in a different area to the probe, in order to complete the electrical circuit and deliver an incapacitating effect.
|Drive stun
|With a live cartridge installed, the Taser is held against the subject's body and the trigger is pulled. Contact with the subject completes the electrical circuit which causes pain but does not deliver an incapacitating effect.
|Red dotted
|The weapon is not fired. Instead, the Taser is deliberately aimed and then partially activated so that a laser red dot is placed onto the subject.
|Sparking of the Taser without aiming it or firing it.
|Deliberately aiming of the Taser at a targeted subject.
|Lowest use
|Drawing of Taser in circumstances where any person could reasonably perceive the action to be a use of force.
Figure 1 shows the number of uses in the three years from 2009 to 2011. It groups the breakdowns in which the Taser does not make contact with the subject (red-dotted, arcing, aimed and drawn) and labels these as non-discharges. The proportion of total uses that are non-discharges are then compared alongside the 'highest use' of 'fired' and the 'drive stun and angle drive stun' categories.
The percentage of uses where the 'highest use' of a Taser was 'fired' has remained fairly constant between 2010 and 2011 (20.4% in 2010 and 20.8% in 2011) having declined from 2009 (to 23.2 per cent). This suggests that while overall use of Taser by the police has increased, the way that Taser are being used has not changed.

Notes: The proportions presented in this chart were calculated excluding Humberside and West Midlands who are unable to provide a full breakdown. The totals presented in this graph include all forces effectively imputing the average for both Humberside and West Midlands.
The more detailed percentage breakdown of the seven categories for the total Taser use in England and Wales in 2010 and 2011 can be seen in Figure 2. This shows that in both years the 'highest use' of 'fired' occurred in just over 20% of Taser uses and a Taser was only 'drawn' in around 15% of uses. The most common 'highest use' in both years was 'red dot' with this being the 'highest use' in over 50% of uses.
4.2 Figure 2 Police use of Taser by type
Source: Home Office
Notes: Charts may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
This chart excludes Humberside and West Midlands who are unable to provide a full breakdown.
In both years Angle Drive Stun accounts for less than 0.1% of total uses and not stated accounts for less than 0.2%.
5. Data quality and use of data
There are a number of factors that may lead to an increase or a decrease in the use of Taser. These figures should not be used to interpret how any of these factors are changing, for example, the level of crime.
Care should be taken when making comparisons between forces on the level of Taser use. The level of Taser use is dependent on a variety of factors including police force policy, the population size and the level of violent crime. Furthermore there is likely to be varying data quality across the forces due to differing approaches to data capture.
The 2009 figures presented in this report were collected through a centralised Home Office database which was replaced by a new database. Previously figures were published on a quarterly basis which has now been changed to a 6 monthly publication within calendar years.
Unfortunately there were a number of data capture issues with the development of this new database. Given these difficulties it was decided that the quality of these figures was not of a standard suitable for publication. In order to provide data for 2010 and 2011 a separate collection was established to collect aggregate Taser use figures directly from police forces and it is these figures presented in this report.
The new database is now working well and will be used to compile the 2012 and 2013 figures due to be published in March 2014. A quality assurance exercise will be carried out on this data to ensure continuity for the time series.
The overall story told by the figures originally collected in the Home Office database for 2010 and 2011 is very similar. The proportion of police use of Taser where the 'highest use' is 'fired' is still about a fifth and the highest category is consistently 'red-dotted' at just over half.

Shortly, Natural Resources, Sustainability and Humanity is the written upgraded version of the topics discussed during the Small Meeting of the 2nd International School Congress: Natural Resources, Sustainability and Humanity, held in Braga, Portugal, 5-8 May 2010 with the diverse participation of scientists, educators and governmental representatives.
The Earth hosts an immense ecosystem, colonized by millions of species for billions of years but only for a few tens of thousands of years by humans. Environmental history tells though that it was humankind that shaped the environment as no other species. History, geography, religion and politics among other reasons have differentiated populations with respect to access to safe food and water, education, health, and to space and natural resource utilization. The globalization era of trade, information and communication is shortening distances and increasing overall wealth, but, as is pointed out in Natural Resources, Sustainability and Humanity, it is also contributing to the propagation of diseases, and to the modification or even destruction of native ecosystems by exotic invasive species.
Man is the only species that has the perception of its history, evolution, of the consequences of its decisions, and that there is a future ahead. It is also the only species that has the potential to change it. This awareness can be a source of anxiety and contradictory behaviours, but it is also the key to changing attitudes towards the construction of a common sustainable home, by committed education, interdisciplinary approaches, mobilization and empowerment of people and political consonant actions.

Principles and Applications of NanoMEMS Physics
Part of the Microsystems book series (MICT, volume 15)
Part of the Microsystems book series (MICT, volume 15)
Principles and Applications of NanoMEMS Physics presents the first unified exposition of the physical principles at the heart of NanoMEMS-based devices and applications. In particular, after beginning with a comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals and limitations of nanotechnology and MEMS fabrication techniques, the book addresses the physics germane to this dimensional regime, namely, quantum wave-particle phenomena, including, the manifestation of charge discreteness, quantized electrostatic actuation, and the Casimir effect, and quantum wave phenomena, including, quantized electrical conductance, quantum interference, Luttinger liquids, quantum entanglement, superconductivity and cavity quantum electrodynamics. Potential building blocks are also addressed for NanoMEMS applications, including, nanoelectromechanical quantum circuits and systems such as charge detectors, the which-path electron interferometer, and the Casimir oscillator, as well as a number of quantum computing implementation paradigms. Finally, NanoMEMS applications in photonics are addressed, including nanophotonic light sources and plasmonic devices.

Raina rocks Bangalore party as Chennai storm into final
Chennai Super Kings 177 for 4 beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 175 by six wickets
Man of the match: Suresh Raina
The Chennai Super Kings never looked like winning it and the Royal Challengers Bangalore never looked like losing it. Yet the end result was a sensational six wicket win for the former, who eventually became the first team to make it to the IPL finals in the fourth season. In a dramatic late assault, Suresh Raina and Albie Morkel carted Zaheer Khan and S Aravind all over the park to completely tilt the momentum of the game, which they easily won in the end with ample wickets in hand. The efforts of Raina in particular undid all the good work done by Virat Kohli earlier in the evening, whose unbeaten 70 had taken Bangalore to a challenging 175 in spite of the early loss of their dynamo, Chris Gayle.
The win saw Chennai make their third final in the four year old competition while the task for Bangalore suddenly becomes a lot more challenging. Not only do they have to beat the winner of the eliminator, but even if they do so, they will meet Chennai again in the final and that too at the latter's home ground, the M A Chidambaram stadium. And statistics point out that Chennai have not lost a single match on their home ground this season.
Looking back at the game, it was definitely their bowling that cost Bangalore a game they should clearly have won. However, a few bad overs was all it needed for things to turn around. It all began in the ninth over bowled by Virat Kohli. In an over full of full tosses, 16 runs were leaked to give Chennai some much needed. A few overs later things got even worse for Bangalore. Abhimanyu Mithun sprayed it all over the place and conceded 23 runs. It was about the time Raina was beginning to settle in. In this particular over, he carted Mithun for a six over covers and slammed another over covers. Despite all that, Bangalore still held the edge as the equation read a difficult 82 from 42 balls. And it only got worse from there as Gayle, who could not contribute with the bat, chipped in with a excellent spell of 0 for 19 from four overs to make the equation 58 from 24.
Bangalore held the edge clearly, but this is when Raina proved his worth to the tea. He took on Zaheer Khan, who bowled a marvellous first spell, during which he not only took out Michael Hussey, but was extremely mean as well. But, just like in the World Cup final, he was taken apart in his second spell, which had only one over left. Raina carted two big sixes in the midwicket region. At the other end, M S Dhoni brought him bottom-hand into play to get another six. Even though Dhoni fell on the same over, 20 runs came off it and Chennai were well and truly on track.
The arrival of Morkel signaled the beginning of the end for Bangalore. S Aravind was slammed over both long-on and long-off by him before Raina slashed a full toss into the midwicket boundary. The over cost one more than Zaheer's and left Chennai needing only 12 off the last over to be bowled by Daniel Vettori. It was easy for Chennai having done all the hard work. Morkel hauled a boundary to wide long-on and deposited the fourth ball over midwicket to launch Chennai into yet another IPL final.
The assault of Raina and Morkel outdid the impressive effort of Kohli, who blended caution with aggression to guide Bangalore to a healthy total. All this after Gayle was trapped lbw by R Aswhin cheaply. Kohli, in the company of Luke Pomersbach, made sure the scoreboard kept ticking. Pomersbach took on Dwayne Bravo and collected 17 runs in the 15th over. Kohli, on the other hand, batted with mature aggression never looking ugly even while going for the big stroke. He scored comfortably against Raina and Morkel, with two sixes off the latter's in the 19th over. However, the same duo extracted their revenge by featuring in a match-winning partnership.

New Left Review I/59, January-February 1970
Galvano Della Volpe
The Marxist Critique of Rousseau
In State and Revolution, Lenin quotes and then comments on a passage in Marx's Critique of the Gotha Programme as follows: '"Equal right" [of everyone to an equal product of labour] we certainly do have here [i.e. in the first phase of communism]; but it is still a "bourgeois right", which, like every right, presupposes inequality. Every right is an application of an equal measure to different people who in fact are not alike, are not equal to one another; [1] Cf. also the following very interesting passage from the Critique of the Gotha Programme: 'Right by its very nature can consist only in the application of an equal standard; but unequal individuals (and they would not be different individuals if they were not unequal) are measurable only by an equal standard in so far as they are brought under an equal point of view, are taken from one definite side only, for instance, in the present case, are regarded only as workers and nothing more is seen in them, everything else being ignored' Marx-Engels: (Selected Works, Moscow 1962, Vol. II, p. 24). that is why "equal right" is really a violation of equality and an injustice. In fact, every man, having performed as much social labour as another, receives an equal share of the social product. . . But people are not alike: one is strong, another is weak; one is married, another is not; one has more children, another has less, and so on. And the conclusion Marx draws is: "with an equal performance of labour, and hence an equal share in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another, one will be richer than another, and so on. To avoid all these defects, right instead of being equal would have to be unequal".'

That's right, not just country music – blues, rock, and even BLAH can all often be traced back to good ol' Nashville. The downtown area is jam-packed with everything Tennessee has to offer, including entertainment venues, dance clubs, and plenty of restaurants. Nashville has a very unique cuisine style, blending spicy flavors with both meat and fish. There are also lots of activities for the more outdoorsy types. For example, Warner Parks has both hiking and horse trails - it is even home to the annual Iroquois Steeplechase, a traditional horse race.

|The Monkees singles chronology
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a song by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, most famous for the version recorded by The Monkees in 1967. Goffin's and King's inspiration for the name was a street named Pleasant Valley Way, in West Orange, New Jersey where they were living at the time.[1] The road follows a valley through several communities among the Watchung Mountains. The lyrics were a social commentary on status symbols, creature comforts, life in suburbia and "keeping up with the Joneses". The song has been regarded by many[by whom?] as an understated comment on consumerism while maintaining a relentlessly driving pop beat. It became one of the Monkees' most successful singles.
Chip Douglas, producer of the Monkees' music during 1967, also played bass guitar on some of their recordings. (This freed up Peter Tork to play keyboards.) He showed lead guitarist Michael Nesmith an interlocking bass and lead riff that they used throughout the song. Nesmith doubletracked the lead guitar riff, which was based on The Beatles' "I Want to Tell You", while Peter Tork and Davy Jones added piano and maraca parts. "Fast" Eddie Hoh, a session musician, played drums. Micky Dolenz sang lead vocals, and was the only member of The Monkees who did not play an instrument on the track.
For an ending, Douglas and engineer Hank Cicalo decided to "keep pushing everything up", adding more and more reverberation and echo until the sound of the music became unrecognizable, before fading out the recording. Separate mono and stereo versions were mixed for single and album records.
The single peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 and was featured in the second season of their television series. The song also appeared on the fourth Monkees album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., in November 1967. While the mono copies of the album had the same version as heard on the single, stereo copies had a version using a different take of the first verse and an additional backing vocal during the break.
In February 1986, MTV featured a marathon of episodes of the series titled Pleasant Valley Sunday, which sparked a second wave of Monkeemania. The reunited Dolenz, Tork, and Davy Jones, already on tour, went from playing small venues to playing arenas and stadiums in the following weeks.
- Micky Dolenz - lead vocal
- Michael Nesmith - electric guitar and harmony vocal
- Peter Tork - piano
- Davy Jones - backing vocal, maracas
- Bill Chadwick - acoustic guitar
- Chip Douglas - bass guitar
- "Fast" Eddie Hoh - drums[2]

This precision-made brass weather station uses a unique measurement gauge to calculate and report not only what the temperature is outside, but also how the weather actually feels.
The 'Weather Station' from Best Made Co. is a German-made measurement device that calculates both temperature and humidity using a thermometer and hygrometer in one simple package. Instead of just giving you a basic numerical measurement, this brass weather station actually uses a unique interface to show when heat and humidity are perfectly balanced.
Once the two needles cross one another into a special hatched region you'll be able to know when the perfect climate conditions have been reached outside. Packaged in a brass body, this elegant measurement device will also acquire a beautifully natural patina over time.

Thanks to everyone who made Sunday's Cinco de Mayo #FBjam such a terrific success! The band all had a blast (we always do!), and from the amount of dancing in the aisles that was going on as pals took the opportunity to practice their samba, salsa and flamenco steps ahead of Miss Chilipepper's Cinco de Mayo 17th birthday pawty I'd say the audience all had the same.
Special thanks to @HRHDuchessII and @TweetingTruman, who made such a pawesome job of all the noms and drinks on a truly exceptional Menu – everyone enjoyed them immensely, and we're all looking forward to the next one!
#FBjam is taking a break this Sunday to let pals (including the band members) to relax at NipClub, but don't worry – we'll be back as usual next week.
In the meantime, have a great weekend, and pawty on!

First up, from the NY Times: For the Battle-Scarred, Comfort at Leash's End. Excerpt:
Just weeks after Chris Goehner, 25, an Iraq war veteran, got a dog, he was able to cut in half the dose of anxiety and sleep medications he took for post-traumatic stress disorder. The night terrors and suicidal thoughts that kept him awake for days on end ceased.Full story and audio slide show here. Photo at top left by Stephen Crowley for The New York Times.
Aaron Ellis, 29, another Iraq veteran with the stress disorder, scrapped his medications entirely soon after getting a dog — and set foot in a grocery store for the first time in three years.
The dogs to whom they credit their improved health are not just pets. Rather, they are psychiatric service dogs specially trained to help traumatized veterans leave the battlefield behind as they reintegrate into society.
Because of stories like these, the federal government, not usually at the forefront of alternative medical treatments, is spending several million dollars to study whether scientific research supports anecdotal reports that the dogs might speed recovery from the psychological wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Next: can dogs follow a six month old track? And if they can't, how is it that two search dogs — a yellow Labrador and a German short-haired pointer —
The handlers, Sarah Platts and Julie R. Jones, partners at Virginia-based VK9 Scent Specific Search and Recovery Unit, say their highly trained dogs possess specialized skills that have made believers of many families and police agencies.The article is online now, and will be on the front page of Monday's print edition of the L.A. Times: Dogged faith in these trackers.
"It's a revelation for some folks," said Platts, 48, adding that her volunteer organization has helped authorities gather evidence on numerous murder and missing-person cases.
Dog handler organizations are skeptical. Their profession, members say, has been undermined over the years by handlers claiming amazing crime-busting abilities who were later exposed as frauds. They say Quincy and Jack's work was an incredible coincidence or a calculated hoax.
Attributing heroic skills to lovable dogs is natural but invites false hope, said Roger Titus, a trainer with the National Police Bloodhound Assn.

Flamerule 30, 1484 DR Year Of The Awaken Sleepers
Caer Dineval, Tentowns
The night after the battle, the companions help the towns people to bury their dead. The next day they encourage them to vote for a spokesman. The majority rejects the previous Spokesman, who led them to their downfall. The last authority figure, lieutenant James Corvin, is elected as new Spokesman. He starts with the reconstruction of the town, and uses the remaining city gold, to aid and secure the people. Quinn fears that the town is vulnerable to another attack. He is not willing to let other forces take advantage of the situation and conquer the wounded town. He believes they must stay here until they find a way to secure them. Mulgrin examines the magic orb and discovers that this is a communication device. Its user, a mage probably, can see and hear the wielder and even appear near him, as if he was there. Murdoc offers his connections with mercenary groups such as the Order Of The Gaunlet. For the right price they could gather a notable force. Lucious contacts fallen templars, offering them a new start. The town can become a safe haven for them as long as they serve and protect the town. Hurins dawrves build a stone monument on the Caer walls depicting their victory. It fills peoples hearts with hope and seems fearsome to the town's enemies. The companions stay for a few days, they rest and help and live the simple life for a while.

Discussion in 'Middle East - General' started by Annie, Jan 29, 2005.
This is why we are there.
This is why our service men and woman have been injured and died.
Liberty at it's birth for a country a long time opressed.
We should all rejoice this day.
Very nice!
well i know ill be praying for the best results in this tonight.
Voting is going better than expected. There has been 1, "ONE" casualty, as of the afternoon in all of Iraq, due to any bombing of a voting station.
The countrymen of Iraq have turned out in droves throughout the day with little regard for the threats from the insurgency.
Of course, that is nothing less than what I expected, and everything but what the left has anticipated. Proving once again, the opposition only promises empty doomsday scenarios, while remaining on the wrong side of history every time.
Remember these leftist pessimests when tomorrow comes, where they will again move the goalposts and attack the legitimacy of the election, and not the violence during this day which they themselves assured us of.
I've got it. All these people voted out of fear of the Bush Regime.
I stayed up til about 1:30, watching FOX and CNN. The later kept waiting for the explosions which they were anticipating. There were some, but no significant attacks. FOX had Geraldo, someone that normally is not my cup of tea. He'd been on, well as far as I could tell, like all day.
He was so excited. He had some marines around him and he kept saying what a magnificent job they had done. What the brave Iraqis were doing. Over and over he kept at how they were 'all his heroes.' He exclaimed at how the vote in Iraq, was more precious because of the threats and people were taking it more seriously because of the threat. Women were voting in order to ensure the best future they could for their children. I don't think I'll feel badly about Geraldo again, at least until he starts defending Michael Jackson.

StoreDot's charger makes use of the so-called Nanodots – these are bio-organic nanocrystals with superior energy storage capabilities. Speedy battery charging is just one amount the multiple uses of the Nanodots, as the unique characteristics of the biological semiconductors make them perfect for flexible displays, data storage, and imaging sensors.
The existing prototypes are the size of a regular laptop charger, but it is stated that the company is working on decreasing the overall size of the nifty accessory. However, StoreDot is not ready to release a Nanodot charger yet, and the gizmo is planned to go into mass-production in late 2016.
Without further ado, you can watch StoreDot's demonstration video below.

Felma Kisio testified Wednesday in a cracking, tear-choked voice that sickness, sorrow and humiliation left her with no choice but to kill herself in front of her estranged husband.
She said that plan took a cruel twist when she confronted him Dec. 9, 1982, pleading with him to leave his girlfriend and come back to her.
The 64-year-old woman's face was in a constant frown as she told a Broward County jury her side of the story during the second day of her trial on charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
"I was hurting real bad. I thought if I could talk to him and reason it out. But if I didn't get anyplace with him, I would just kill myself," the frail Fort Lauderdale woman said, breaking into tears.
"I just couldn't go on."
But her husband, Michael Kisio, 65, responded to her entreaties with laughter, sarcasm and profanity, she said.
When he didn't believe she would kill herself, she took the gun out of her purse, and wild shots rang out as he struggled to take the weapon from her, she said.
But the prosecution says that her story of two separate accidental shootings in one day is incredible and that Felma Kisio killed her husband out of jealousy. He died of two gunshot wounds in the back, on the living room floor of the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Jean Riles, then 53.
When Riles later showed up at the apartment, at 1440 Miami Road, Mrs. Kisio allegedly went for her with the gun and Riles was shot twice.
But under cross-examination Wednesday, she denied ever being resentful of Riles or the adulterous liaison.
"What could I do?" she asked. "He said she (Riles) gave him everything he needed. He told me, 'You're all crippled up, and I get all I want from Jean.' "
"And you didn't resent her, even though you said she was his whore?" prosecutor Tom Kern asked her.
"That's just a phrase I used. I couldn't say she was a lady, because if she was a decent lady, how could she live with him, a married man?" she replied.
The defense contends both shootings were accidental, the first resulting from Kisio's struggle to keep his distraught wife from killing herself.

I enjoy coaching students with barriers to employment. Not because they have challenges to accessing the world of work. Rather, I see it as an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life that might otherwise give up on finding their ideal place in the world. Needless to say, I find it interesting and sometimes frustrating that students with barriers often do not share their barrier at the outset of a coaching appointment. I have spent 30 – 45 minutes coaching a student before they disclosed the "real" reason they came to the career center. Examples include the traditional student who wants to be a physician, but does not mention they are failing biology, to the non-traditional student who wants to land a managerial position, but fails to mention that they have held five jobs in the last two years.
With experience I have developed a few strategies to assist students with employment barriers to make the most of the final 10 – 15 minutes of a coaching session when the "real" truth has been revealed:
- Asking powerful and direct questions: Asking students clarifying and direct questions helps uncover key information and also allows the student to decipher their real feelings as they explain their own barriers.
- Asking why: Disclosure of an employment barrier is not enough to help devise an action plan for moving forward. Identifying and understanding the root cause of a barrier helps the student take ownership of their employment barriers. In a safe environment, discussing "why" can also alleviate negative emotions associated with employment barriers such as fear, pride and shame.
- Investigating past patterns: Learning what led a student to choose an academic degree program or what career paths their parents chose can uncover unconscious decision-making that negatively impacts future outcomes.
- Switching hats: Turning the table and asking the student to become the career coach can force the student to challenge their own beliefs, career decision, and actions. Instead of providing direction, ask the student what their next steps should be.
- Share your own career struggles: Sharing your own academic or career struggles as appropriate, can remind the student that your role is to help and not judge. Students are more likely to share their barriers with you if they feel the coaching environment is safe.
Unless I can hire a bailiff to swear students in before coaching appointments, I can't stop them from revealing their "real" career concerns in the last 15 minutes. I can however, make the most of the last 15 minutes by asking the right questions and challenging students to be honest.

Can the NHD-14432WG-ATFH-V#T be powered from 3.3V?
I have a Texas Instrument launchpad, EK-TM4C123GXL. This guy runs off 3.3V and I would like to know if I can power the NHD-14432WG-ATFH-V#T from it directly.
Datasheet: http://www.newhavendisplay.com/specs/NHD-14432WG-ATFH-VT.pdf
The datasheet does specify a 5V input, but I wanted to confirm here. If this is the case, what are my options to up the voltage?
We recommend using a level shifter to transition up to 5v logic levels to drive the display.
If 5v is not available in your design to power the display, then adding a 5v step-up DC to DC converter will be necessary.

Yes! I have updated my Iphone 4 and Ipad 2, as well as my son's Ipad 2, with the new iOS 5 by Apple. I didn't have any problems in upgrading the software, and all the applications and files (contacts, messages, photos, etc.) that I have are still there after the update. So far, I am loving the updates.
I specially liked the iMessage, notification, multi-tasking gestures, photo editor/enhancement and camera upgrades (shooting using the volume button). I haven't tried the iCloud yet. Will probably give you an update once I had.
iOS 5 rocks!

Good morning, lovelies! It's Friday. And I'm breathing a sigh of relief. Can you hear it? Today I have a special post up for you. If you know me, you know I can't resist great crafty products. And if you know me even better, you know I can't resist a good sale. So what happens if you combine both of these loves? An addiction named Scrapbook Steals. This site have many a lovely products, including the whole line-ups of My Mind's Eye, Crate Paper, Studio Calico, October Afternoon...basically products that I love to use on projects, so this site really wins it for me.
When Scrapbook Steals was asking for guest designers, I thought "why not?!" Miraculously I got picked. So a big thank-you for letting me guest design with the Scrapbook Steals group.
Today we're showcasing some yummy Martha Stewart glitters. Now, what girl doesn't like a little bit of bling or sparkle, right? We have a great line up of very talented girls bringing you some inspirations on how to stretch that glitter. If you followed along the blog hop, you should be arriving from sweet Julie's blog. If not, you might want to start from the beginning.
I have a few creations for you today, and I promise to post up a follow-up tutorial. I received three colors of Martha Stewart Iridescent glitter: cherry popsicle, ice cube, and sour apple - it screams Christmas, doesn't it?
So the one thing that sometimes makes me not a fan of glitter is that it gets everywhere. And when I mean everywhere, I mean everywhere...I think some of it came with me to work, some of it may even be stuck in between my keyboard keys. Sometimes I'm convinced I see a fleck of it in my hair or still attached to parts of me...but it might be the glitter paranoia speaking. So when I work with "messier" products, I like to be in as much control as possible. What does this mean? Contain it, tape it down... please just don't come off ;)
One of my favorite techniques is to combine glitter with scor tape. I will post up a step-by-step tutorial soon to show how you can get the glitter on and save yourself the mess...
Stamps: N/A
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Pure Poppy) Papertrey Ink; (Card stock) scrap bin
Ink: (Versamark) Tsukineko
Embellishments: (Double Sided Ultra Sticky Clear Tape - 3.5mm) Stix2; (Perfect Pearls - Perfect Pearl) Ranger; (Iridescent Glitter - Cherry Popsicle, Sugar Cube) Martha Stewart; (Christmas Twine) The Twinery; (Alphabet Stickers) Prima; (Kris Kringle - Felt elements) SEI; (Nestabilities - Labels Eighteen) Spellbinders
I knew I wanted to make a peppermint striped color scheme and couldn't resist this little felt bird I had in my stash. A little alphas here, a bit of snowflake stamping & dusting with Perfect Pearls, and I pronounce this my first Christmas card of the year...The twine was actually a cool find by my DYSU buddy Jan, which we split three ways. A great frugal way to share some products, right? And twine is also so light to ship...
Look how clean the glitter lines up with the scor tape? I'm just tickled how this came out...more tips & tricks on another post, I promise!
My second card of today is a fun birthday card, using more glitter! And it's a fun little interactive card, because you can "shake it, shake it....like a polaroid picture." (If you can name the song and the artist...leave 'em in the comments ;)
Stamps: (Celebrate Special Edition) Studio Calico & Hero Arts
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Dark Chocolate, White, Aqua Mist; Stamper's Select Vellum) Papertrey Ink; (Acetate)
Ink: (Jenni Bowlin - No. 11 Brown Sugar) Ranger; (Perfect Match Pigment Ink - Hawaiian Shore) Papertrey Ink
Embellishments: (Iridescent Glitter - Sour Apple, Sugar Cube) Martha Stewart; (Saddle Stich Ribbon - Hawaiian Shore) Papertrey Ink; (Wood Veneers - Stars) Studio Calico; (Nestabilities - Standard Circles Small; Classic Scalloped Circles Small) Spellbinders; (Inkssentials - Glossy Accents) Ranger; (Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder - Swiss Dots) Provocraft; (Soft-core Color Pencils) Prismacolor
I can post up more detailed shots about how I put this little shaker card together if you're interested, but it's pretty straight forward. I created a pocket by cutting out two circles (larger than the window) in both acetate and vellum. After lining them up back to back, I sewed around the edge and left a little opening. Since I have always loved the color combination of aqua and a nice crisp granny-smith green, I filled the little pocket up with some glitter (of course), a few little wood stars and aqua confetti to make it a party inside the pocket.
The cupcake is stamped, colored with color pencils, and then finally iced with a layer of Sugar Cube glitter, followed by a nice generous layer of Glossy Accents. It gives the top layer of the cupcake a little more dimension by making it into an home-made (inexpensive) epoxy. A little bit of ribbon (that I stapled together), a fun little sentiment backed with vellum, and voila. Easy peasy card that you can make...and the best part? The glitter is contained ;)
Thanks for letting me share these two projects with you. I hope you enjoyed them.

Sound Energy to Acquire Additional Sidi Moktar Interest
Mediterranean-focused upstream gas company, Sound Energy, has reached an agreement with PetroMaroc Corporation Plc to acquire 50 percent of PetroMaroc's operated interest in three onshore gas permits located in Morocco.
On completion of the acquisition, Sound Energy will issue PetroMaroc with new ordinary shares in the company with a market value of £3.65 million ($5.18 million). Sound will also grant PetroMaroc a 10 percent net profit interest in any future cash flows from the Kechoula discovery, as well as a 5 percent net profit interest in any future cash flows from structures within the Sidi Moktar Licenses other than the Kechoula discovery.
This agreement follows Sound Energy's acquisition of an initial 25 percent interest in the three onshore gas Sidi Moktar Licenses from Maghreb Petroleum Exploration S.A. The Sidi Moktar Licenses cover 1,042 square miles in the Essaouira basin, which is located in central Morocco.
James Parsons, Sound Energy's chief executive, commented in a company statement:
"This transaction will result in Sound Energy holding an aggregate 75 percent interest in, and operatorship of, an already successfully drilled material gas discovery with potential near term production and significant deeper exploration potential.
"Operator status at Sidi Moktar unlocks this asset whilst also granting Sound control over the pace and scale of operations.
"Sound Energy can now proceed to dovetail operations at Sidi Moktar with those planned at Tendrara - with the potential for material production from Sidi Moktar during 2016."

District 518 seeks year-round schedule input
WORTHINGTON — Independent School District 518 is asking for community input regarding a rotational year-round schedule.
The district shared a link to a survey which simply asks respondents whether or not they support a multi-tiered/rotational year-round schedule, in which 25 percent of the student population would be off for approximately three months.
The survey link closes March 15.
The survey may be accessed on the district's social media pages or by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/SRLVKYV.
The year-round schedule discussion comes at the heels of February's failed bond referendum and the district's continuous need to alleviate space issues. The board of education is expected to continue the discussion at Monday's instructional committee meeting.

Is chiropractic care something about which you have always had an interest? If so, it is important for you to gain a fair amount of knowledge before embarking on any quest for treatment. Luckily, the information discussed below is specifically designed to give you the tips and guidance you need to move forward confidently.
Talk with your friends about anyone they've used for chiropractic care. Sometimes it's those close to you that know the best people to call. If you've got friends who swear by a certain doctor, then it may save you a ton of time in searching for the best one around.
If you feel tense prior to getting chiropractic care, ask your doctor for some heating pads or warm towels. These should be placed on your back for five to ten minutes prior to treatment. This will loosen up your back, making it much more amenable to the stretching the doctor will put it through.
If coaching feel any sort of pain when you are with the chiropractor, be sure to let the doctor know immediately. Your chiropractor may be an expert, but it's your body. You need to let the doctor know if something that's happening is causing an unexpected amount of pain.
Look for a chiropractor that offers a free consultation. Since you may be having regular sessions with a chiropractor, it is a good idea to know what you are getting into. Use that time to ask any questions and gauge the type of provider they are. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, you should look for someone else.
Chiropractic care focuses on your skeletal and nervous system and the functioning of your brain. The central nervous system and brain control all the functions of your body, so regular chiropractic care can lead to excellent overall health. When your central nervous system is functioning properly, all of your autonomic functions, such as heartbeat, breathing and digestion work unimpeded.
Tell your chiropractor about any pain you are having, even if the pain may not seem related to an aching back. The nerves in your back can cause pains in lots of unexpected areas. You may get shooting pains in the soles of your feet. There may be tingling prickles on your legs. All of these can be related to a back issue, and your chiropractor needs to know about them.
When it comes to getting quality chiropractic care, it really does pay to solicit personal recommendations from those you trust. Talking to people who have undergone treatment with a given practitioner can give you the direct insight you need. Making sure to take this step will help you avoid low-quality care providers and get the type of treatment you desire.
Always go to a doctor first before going to a chiropractor. It's a good idea to get a doctor to try and figure out what kind of issue you're dealing with. This information will also be transferred to the chiropractor, which will help them better deal with your case. Additionally, understand that your doctor may not recommend chiropractic care. Your physician might have another idea.
Remember that you have alternatives to a chiropractor if you have pain in your back or other musculoskeletal problems. Osteopathic physicians, physical therapists and some medical doctors treat these issues as well. If you don't feel comfortable with the chiropractor that you visit, seek out one of these other professionals instead.
Chiropractors believe that giving birth while lying on your back can cause spinal damage to your newborn baby. Additionally, if the doctor pulls the baby from the birth canal the spine could be damaged. For this reason, chiropractors recommend giving birth in an upright position and allowing the delivery to progress naturally.
Talk to your doctor about your chiropractic visits. It can be easy to see a doctor and a chiropractor, but be sure to notify your doctor about your activities. Seeing a chiropractor is healthy for you, but your doctor may wish to monitor your progress in order to adjust medication levels and to change his own treatment accordingly.
If you have long been curious about whether chiropractic care may be the answer to your lingering health and pain management concerns, you certainly came to the right place. Armed with your new wealth of knowledge on the subject, you ought to feel prepared to start seeking treatment soon. Best wishes as you proceed.

•Kano gov denies presidential race claim
The odds now seem to favour Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso of Kano State to emerge as the next chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) later this month.
The incumbent, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, who is facing massive opposition from his party (PDP), and the Presidency to return for a second term, is said to be disposed to stepping down for Kwankwaso.
This move, it was gathered, is to put up a formidable fight against Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State who is being backed by the Presidency.
In the last couple of weeks, the anti-Amaechi forces led by the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum (PDPGF), Chief Godswill Akpabio, and the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BOT), Chief Anthony Anenih, have been rallying the support of other governors to back Shema.
The pro-Amaechi governors, it was learnt, are also working underground to frustrate Shema's emergence. According to our source, "The pro-Amaechi forces are aware that his opponents have perfected a plot to stage a walkout if it becomes clear that Amaechi would carry the day at the next election. To prevent the polarisation of the forum, Kwankwaso will be put forward by the group."
A Government House Port Harcourt source told The Nation that Amaechi is not desperate for a second term as Chairman of the NGF.
"The Governor (Amaechi), contrary to his opponents' claim, is not desperate to remain as NGF chair. However, he believes strongly that the independence of the NGF must be preserved," the source said.
The Rivers State Governor recently visited Kano ostensibly to commission some projects executed by his host.
The Nation, however, gathered that before Amaechi flew back to his base, he held a closed-door session with his host in what our source said was meant to perfect the plan to install the Kano State helmsman as the new NGF chair.
A source privy to the plan said: "As things stand today, if the NGF election is held now, the pro-Amaechi forces would carry the day."
Kwankwaso's candidacy, findings revealed, is being backed because he is seen as an independent-minded governor who cannot be pushed around. "He is also not a huge fan of the President," said a source.
The Governor has already dismissed media reports linking him to the 2015 Presidential race.
He denied having said in Maiduguri during his recent visit to the state that he will declare his 2015 presidential ambition at the appropriate time.
The Director of Press in the Governor's Office, Alhaji Halilu Dantiye, said his principal was misquoted.
"The statement was a misrepresentation of facts as the Governor did not in any way express his intention to contest the 2015 Presidential race," Dantiye said.
He added that the Governor "is currently occupied with how to ensure peace, stability and unity among Nigerians, as well as justifying the mandate given to him by the people of Kano State. Governor Kwankwaso is currently serving his second and final mandate as Governor and has not declared his interest to vie for the Presidency or any other elective position for that matter."

Abbott Hall
Abbott Hall was constructed between 1939 and 1940 on Northwesterns Chicago Campus as part of the Universitys plans to provide suitable on-campus housing for the students in the professional schools. It was made possible by a 1.5 million dollar gift from the Clara A. Abbott Foundation in honor of Dr. Wallace C. Abbott, founder of Abbott Laboratories, and his wife Clara. Their daughter Eleanor had graduated from Northwestern in 1922. The Abbott Foundation gave the gift to the University for the purpose of advancing medical, chemical and surgical sciences. University trustees decided to use this gift to build the new student dormitory and then use the profits from the dormitorys operations for the purposes specified in the gift. An additional $162,000 was given by the foundation to help fund the completion of the building. The final cost of Abbott Hall was about 1.75 million dollars.
When constructed, Abbott Hall was considered the tallest building in the world used exclusively for student housing. Located at Lake Shore Drive and Superior Street in Chicago, Abbott Hall is twenty stories tall and constructed of Indiana limestone. The building was designed by architect James Gamble Rogers to be similar to the modified gothic style he had used in a number of other buildings on the Evanston and Chicago campuses. Rogers had designed the original buildings on the Chicago Campus in the late 1920s, and although Abbott Hall was of a more modern style than the others, it was meant to blend in with the campus overall feeling.
The building as originally constructed had a capacity of approximately 800 students in single and double occupancy rooms, as well as a few kitchenette apartments and penthouse suites. It also had two restaurants, two cafeterias, an arcade of shops, a bowling alley, exercise rooms, a library, and lounges on each residential floor. It was built to offer students a different kind of residential experience than the traditional dormitory, one that felt more like a residential club. The building also offered students the choice of living as groups, whether as a fraternity member or on a floor with other students from the same professional school.
Abbott Hall was formally opened on October 20, 1940 with dedicatory services attended by University President Franklyn B. Snyder and other dignitaries. A portrait of Dr. Wallace C. Abbott was unveiled by his grandchildren, Louise and Wallace Ford, and the building was formally dedicated to Abbott and his wife Clara. The building was already being used by University students and by midshipmen enrolled in the Naval Reserve Midshipmens School, which was renting classroom space and housing from the University. By 1941, military buildup for World War II was in full swing and the entire building was given over to Navy use. Between 1940 and 1945 more than 20,000 Midshipmen graduated from the program. Abbott Hall served as the center of military life, providing housing as well as space for recreational and social activities for the officers in training. One of the most famous graduates of the Midshipmens School was future president John F. Kennedy.
Abbott Hall now serves as graduate student housing for students attending the Universitys professional schools on the Chicago Campus, with rooms for single as well as married students and their families. The building also houses administrative offices and the campus bookstore.

Surrender Is Not The Same As Giving Up
April 17, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
There is a huge difference between giving up and surrendering. Giving up can often mean a few things like: 1 – The task or desire at hand was too difficult and I gave up because I didn't have the stamina, 2 – I gave up because I didn't know how to proceed. I'm sure there are other definitions but you get the negative connotation to this type of "giving up". Let me give an example: I want to learn a language because of a job I want to apply to, but it's too difficult to learn something now so I just give up and forget the job.
On the other hand surrendering is accepting where we are today, and opening up space for life to happen. In this instance, as we embrace where we are, our goals may even shift as a result of life having an opportunity to express itself. This is a positive attitude. An example: I want to be in a loving relationship and I think I have found a guy that might be a possibility, but after a while I realize he's not interested. I surrender to the situation and stop trying to force something to happen. I still want to be in a loving relationship and am letting the guy and my desires pass me by so I can create space for the right guy. I keep on living, learning and feeding my soul.
Surrendering takes faith, courage and a strong relationship to oneself but promotes a positive relationship with life.

Photographer's Note
The Buddhist nāga generally has the form of a great cobra, usually with a single head but sometimes with many. At least some of the nāgas are capable of using magic powers to transform themselves into a human semblance.
Picture taken in The Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) is a Buddhist temple northeast of Krabi, Thailand. One of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the province, it is well known for the tiger paw prints in the cave, tall Buddha statues and the strenuous flight of stairs to reach the summit.

Ethics Daily ran my latest article today, which is entitled "Southern Baptists Falsely Claim Health Care Reform Funds Abortion." The piece details how--despite the claims of some--the health care reform legislation does not allow new federal funding of abortion. Regardless of what one may think about the legislation, it is important to at least tell the truth about it.
Unfortunately, it seems that the problems with our public discourse are going to continue. Already, Southern Baptist leader Richard Land--who has falsely claimed the legislation funds elective abortions--has started comparing Democrats who passed this legislation through the democratic process to the Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor. Such a metaphor is highly inappropriate and demonstrates the unChristlike perspective of the person using it. Sadly, this is not his first time, as Land already invoked the Nazis and the Holocaust in his attacks on those pushing for health care reform. Christian leaders should be setting the example for civil discourse instead of leading the demonization efforts.

A few weeks ago I had the honor of working with Matthew and Sonya from the gospel group The Browders on their music video for their new single, Fall On My Knees. We spent one day shooting this video in my parents back yard. The shoot went very well. I used a dolly for a lot of the shots in the garden and also did a few hand held shots there as well. In the church I focused more on the crane. For the cellist during the solo I actually shot with both the dolly and the crane but in post I liked what the crane did for the shot. I did use one quick scene of me pushing in with the dolly on the cellist.
I wanted to the church to be very dark but the problem I ran into in the second verse with Matthew walking through the church was that it was too dark. I had no reference point so all it looked like was Matthew swaying from side to side. To fix this I simply took one of my lights and aimed it down the pews to the back wall so it gave a little light and now I could see that Matthew was actually moving.
I had a blast and I want to thank The Browders for the opportunity.

I can remember, when "Progress" - for all who believe this is a" hoover": this is a (very good !) database and integrated application software - started many years ago they give away the free version to schools and students.
And all outcoming MBA and students have known very well the software and the database. Years later in Business they decided (before any evaluation for a new Database ) to give progress a chance.
And Progress as a company had a very good business and start-up - growing to a big business in IT.
Today ?
Some years ago a CEO decided to stop these "free" licenses for students and the schools and universities (without any real needs - they had not lost money) and after 3-4 years there were no longer new students and managers outcoming from universities knowing progress.
They "new" managers and business people do not know progress anymore.
Only "insider" and "old" users use this database and software today.
Would be interesting - are there people knowing it?
I think - wikidot made the best decision to give away a kind of "free" for educational sites. - this is the best practice to learn young people what is possible and what they can use later for their own private or business life.

Marchisio cools talk of January transfer
Juventus midfielder Caludio Marchisio has cooled talk of a January move away from the club, insisting he intends to honour his contract.
The 28-year-old is a rumoured transfer target for Manchester United, with manager David Moyes having travelled to Cagliari to see Juve in action earlier this month.
However, Marchisio stressed he would not get distracted by the speculation, seeing his long-term future in Turin.
"Every summer things get talked about but I'm happy about that as I have a long contract at Juventus and I intend to honour it," he told Rai Sport.
"Our 12 wins in a row show that this Juventus team is having an excellent season. Roma have the same number of points that we had this time last season and have also hit a good rhythm."
Juve meet Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Tuesday, and Marchisio believes his side will need to be at the top of their game to progress.
"It will be a great game," he added. "Roma are a great team with quality players and, even beyond Francesco Totti, they have players you need to keep an eye on.
"We really want the Coppa Italia trophy that we have been missing during two years of victories."
Juve have not won Italy's premier cup competition since 1995.
