In Santiago, Chile a fire swept through a nursing home in southern Chile on Tuesday, killing 10 elderly women, officials said.
Investigators were trying to determine the cause of the fire that broke out at around 3 a.m. in the women’s dormitory at the Santa Marta nursing home in Chiguayante, about 320 miles south of the Chilean capital.
Only three elderly women were rescued from the burning room. One was hospitalized.
Aerial photos carried by the 24 Horas television station website show the women’s wing burned to the ground, with a few metal bed frames amid the charred ruins.
Bio Bio region Gov. Jorge Ulloa said staff at the home had checked the room 10 or 12 minutes before the fire “and didn’t find anything.” He said the doors to the dormitory were open, in line with regulations.
Officials released the names of the women, but other details weren’t immediately available.

1.0 Personal Liberty. PlatCom offers two alternative rewrites to this plank. Both say that "the right to make a choice depends on both understanding that it has consequences and accepting responsibility for them". This will help defend LP candidates from charges that we demand adult freedoms for children.
1.2 Privacy and Self-Ownership is the proposed new title for this plank, which is broadened to the scope that was originally intended in the 2008 platform rewrite. 1.1 is about freedom of one's own mind, 1.2 is about freedom of one's own body, and 1.3 is about the freedom to have relations with others. PlatCom here generalizes the "drugs" language to include all "substances".
1.4. Abortion would explicitly "welcome both pro-life and pro-choice members", and oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.
1.6. Self-Defense would clarify gun freedom on private property, and rework some clumsy phrasing inherited from the 1976 platform. However, I worry that this proposal is imperiled by replacing the classic "ammunition or firearms" in favor of "personal defense weapons".
2.4 and 2.5 are rewrites that add more complaints about taxes and subsidies. They add language about "hardworking Americans" and "the American dream", while deleting explicit mentions of the IRS, Balanced Budget Amendment, currency freedom, and banking.
2.6 Labor Markets is rewritten, with a focus on government employee unions and pensions.
2.8 Education gets some polishing, and loses an out-of-scope rhetorical aside.
3.4 Free Trade and Migration is also polished, and it too gets a mention of "the American dream".
3.5 Rights and Discrimination. PlatCom proposes to replace the condemnation of bigotry with a denial that a "natural can ever impose an obligation upon others to fulfill that right". A separate 3.5 proposal qualifies parenall rights when "a jury finds abuse, neglect, or reckless endangerment".
The following table gives the PlatCom votes for each proposal, along with my analysis of whether the proposal will be approved in convention.
My personal agenda for this platform cycle is to minimize platform language churn while trying to fix the top five vulnerabilities that the platform leaves for our candidates. This web page lists those five problems and the fixes I suggested. PlatCom's proposals address all five problems, although not always with the precise language I offered. I voted against only one of those five solutions, where the 1.6 proposal only used half of the "peacable adults" solution and made extraneous changes that put the whole proposal at risk.
I voted against 4 of the 6 other plank rewrites, as they tended to churn (and sometimes weaken) the platform language without actually provided extra defense or guidance to our candidates. I cast all five of the solitary nays, and was among the nays or abstentions whenever there were any.
My portal of information about the LP Platform is here.

See how easy it is to acquire a custom beach theme look in your room without ponying up a lot of income. You want to notice in your room if you should be unsure what you wish inside your Hyperspin Cabinet try seeking in decorating magazines and books to acquire a sense of the extras. To retain the design beach that is consistent you've to limit you to ultimately simply purchase the components that match your theme.
For decorating the beach, hues should cause you to take into account the beach. Lighting and windy with a great deal of blues and possibly even some orange. In case natural sounds are preferred by you think of skin-color and beige sand. other decorations that can help along with combine sea shells seaside sea shapes bring the beach inside your bedroom out. You need to group your accessories in odd amount. Always seem great in case your group includes large and limited accessories blended together.
Employing pads can include interest also. Utilize several towards the top of the mattress and assorted colors finishes and patterns while still preserving theme and the colour in your bedroom's layout in general. Don't feel you've to get everything on your bedroom simultaneously. Look around to get the ideal accessory to complement the Hyperspin Cabinet. You can find deals at consignment shops flea markets and property sales.
When accessorizing your room don't ignore light. When purchasing bulbs ensure that you buy ones that go with the beach-theme you want to build. For beach model lighting try using clear-glass lamps filled with covers or figural light-house shaped lamps. The carpeting could determine an area and draw your bedroom together. Resting furniture totally on the carpeting to get an impact that is hotter. Merely use carpets that go together with your beach accessories.
Whether you are hanging perhaps a small print heart of the part or a large oil painting must be at eye level. When you have a big piece of graphics you can look at touse it. When clinging designs or photographs behind the countertop generally place up inches above the stand. Hold images in round sets of mathematical triangles or rectangles to include awareness.
An interesting group of accessories might contains some covers apart a pleasant beach-theme frame plus a lamp higher. Employ photographs and Hyperspin Cabinet theme styles on your own surfaces to set a layout throughout your bedroom. A lot of people don't learn how to correctly suspend a bit of art and an impact is made by this towards the visual appeal.

The Complete History of McDojos (pt. 1) and The Complete History of McDojos (pt. 2) are excellent articles discussing the perils of the martial arts industry. There are many opinions and some very fierce positions about the variety of issues.
I started Taekwondo back in 1981. At the time I didn’t know it was Taekwondo as the school name was Karate North. It is a good curriculum with a very knowledgeable leader in Master Tom Sullivan. I learned good technique and developed some skills. My desire went toward finding more history and understanding that wasn’t included in the sport aspect.
My training continued in Taekwondo, then after 10 years I added Aikido. I’ve openly said that if I had found Aikido first, I probably never would have done Taekwondo. The techniques in Aikido and the discussion of principles & concepts are more fitting to my personality. I have never believed that arts and schools are competitors. Each art appeals to specific personality types and teachers attract specific kinds of students. This is why all of the arts and schools are still around. Poor styles and bad teachers disappear. My training took its latest step when adding Haidong Gumdo.
1) Flashy strip mall locations cost too much and there’s never enough room to complete a form without running into the walls.
2) Why can’t the training costs be stated up front? Are the Black Belt club & Master’s club programs truly beneficial to the students? Personally, I wonder if it affects the esteem of student who can’t afford those programs.
3) A black belt is NOT a black belt in everything. The schools that teach a striking art and still offer a weapons program without truly learning those weapons from a verifiable curriculum are only hurting the industry. The weapons divisions at tournaments do NOT truly illustrate the knowledge of the weapon. Many “Bo staff” competitors would be great Drum Majors at the University of Southern California, though.
4) What are teachers and schools trying to hide when they don’t put their training history, lineage and teachers on their websites and material? My first thought is that they ordered their equipment from a catalog and opened a school.
5) Schools shouldn’t actually be competitors. Different styles exist because they fit different personalities. Different teachers are around because they fit different personalities. I would rather help someone find an art that they truly want to train in than to dismiss them. There are several quality teachers that I respect and will refer students to. My art is not better, or worse, than your art.
6) Now, something that took me a long time to get my head around. A black belt rank is not a high level rank. I started in an organization where it took an average of four years to get to Chodan. More study showed me that it didn’t need to take that long. Now, my current curriculum will take three to four years to complete but I’ve added curriculum to what I initially learned.
I have worked with an emerging university and developed a Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo specialization to one of their Bachelor’s degree programs. The flack has been that the student can attain a 2nd Dan rank by graduation. Many decry that it isn’t possible to create a quality student in that time. The counter for this is shown in part 2 of the articles linked above. A year or 18 months to Chodan is not out of the question. In fact, if you use the formula for the amount of study that should be put into a three credit university course, above the three hours per week of class meetings there should be three hours of homework. This would equate to 12 hours of training per week. Isn’t that more than enough hours over four years to earn a 2nd Dan?
Truth be told, when I was working on these programs and chatted with senior masters of international organizations, they wanted the Bachelor’s degree to graduate with a 4th Dan. I agree with that but couldn’t see how to create it without requiring that students have a 2nd Dan upon finishing high school.
7) Our industry needs to be improved. We need to get past the “way we’ve always done it” and acting like used car salesmen to get students. If we are promoting so many qualities to live by, why don’t they show up in our websites and material? Yes, I know several schools that do this already…and their schools are very small. I guess that is an example of quality over quantity.
Yes, this was a long rambling but I think it needed to be done. It contains many things that I mentioned in conversations but never put in writing. Part of writing this is to help me sort through these issues and determine how to move myself forward in a manner that I can accept in this industry. I am grateful to have met a handful of quality teachers and martial artists that are helping me understand things both in physical training and industry items.

1Department of Dermatology & Skin Science, University of British Columbia, BC.
Abstract: Dermatology is a visual specialty, yet palpation can also play an important diagnostic role. We present five dermatologic diagnoses that can be made at point of care by palpation or physical manoeuvres, potentially reducing unnecessary investigations, such as biopsies.
Key Words: Dermatofibromas, pilomatricomas, mastocytomas, spider angiomas, terra firma-forme dermatitis.
Dermatofibromas and pilomatricomas are benign papulonodular lesions that can be differentiated by the dimple sign, and the teeter-totter sign or tent sign, respectively.
Solitary mastocytomas can be diagnosed by Darier sign, whereby rubbing of the lesion causes a wheal and pruritus.
Spider angiomas can be diagnosed by diascopy, which involves the application of gentle downward pressure with a glass slide on the skin, resulting in blanching of the telangiectasia.
Terra firma-forme dermatitis is a benign discoloration that can be diagnosed, and treated, by gentle rubbing with isopropyl alcohol.
These dermatologic physical examination manoeuvres are quick, cost-effective, point-of-care diagnostic tools.
If in doubt, do not hesitate to biopsy lesions that appear suspicious.

Tour de Terrace is a Seafair-sanctioned, summer festival that attracts tens of thousands of visitors to Mountlake Terrace each July. The first Tour de Terrace, as we know it today, was celebrated in 1994 when two citizens, Jerry and Judi Smith, wanted to commemorate the city's 40th birthday with an event to generate community spirit and pride.
Over the years, Tour de Terrace became a non-profit organization and today the festival features a parade complete with Seafair pirates and clowns, live music over three days, beer garden, carnival, street fair, classic car show, 5K fun run/walk and pancake breakfast. The Smith family, along with their long-term, dedicated group of volunteers, still operates the festival with police, public works and publicity assistance from the city.
The Tour de Terrace festival is located at the Evergreen Playfield Complex at 22205 56th Avenue W. The parade route runs along 56th Avenue W beginning at the staging area at 234th Street SW and concludes at the park. This event usually falls on the last weekend of July and the schedule is determined by Seafair. The parade always falls on the Friday evening before the Seafair Torchlight Parade in Seattle. In 2019, Tour de Terrace will take place on July 26, 27 and 28.

We crunched the numbers for the November 2016 General Election to see how the county’s six biggest cities voted. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton carried all six cities in her bid for U.S. President. While Seattle and Bellevue voted overwhelmingly for Clinton, Republican candidate and now President-elect Donald J. Trump fared better in south King County. Trump lost to Clinton by fewer than 10,000 votes in Federal Way.
As for the Sound Transit 3 Proposition, it’s no surprise that a vast majority of voters approved the measure in urban Seattle. Bellevue narrowly approved ST3 by just 162 votes. Kent, Kirkland, Renton and Federal Way all rejected the transportation measure. ST3 passed in King County with 58% approval.
Seattle led the way for the highest voter turnout. In all, King County had a turnout of 82%. This was the first time Elections received and processed more than 1 million ballots, which is largely due to a growth in new voter registrations. Over the last year, King County added 88,769 new voters.

A commentary on the Nakanune news portal says bluntly that the Russian people and the Russian elites are tired of Putin and thus prepared to be ever more critical of his performance.
An overview of the new polls in Politsovet states that popular dissatisfaction with the authorities has reached a six-year maximum.
Vedomosti says that unlike in the past, Putin is no longer exempt from the anger Russians feel at the government and officials in general.
A New Times commentary points out that even pollsters historically close to the Kremlin are saying openly that there has been a collapse in Putin’s standing with Russians.
And an analysis in Nezavisimaya gazeta says that there are no obvious reasons why the ratings of the government or of Putin should recover and go up anytime soon.

Lynn, my mom and I traveled to the Florida Keys in our motorhome. We went down 75 with one detour to the Smokey Mountain State Park on route 441. When we got into the state park, 441 was closed, so we had to backtrack about 1.5 hours. We left Michigan by 3:00, and Dayton by 7:00. By 1:15 a.m. we were in Tennessee and stayed at a Waffle House parking lot, which was the 3rd or 4th exit in Tennessee.
My estimated travel times From Chelsea, Michigan to the Keys taking I75 is about 25 hours. Michigan 1 hour, Ohio 4 hours, Kentucky 3 hours, Tennessee 3 hours, Georgia 6 hours, Florida 8 hours.
Our first campground we stayed at was Lazy Lakes at MM20, we stayed for 3 days here and had a very nice holiday meal where everyone brought a dish to pass and the campground provided ham and turkey. The weather was 13 degreews colder than normal 62-65 degrees while we were here. The Stiefels (in mourning) arrived one day later. There wasn't a lot to do in the area but Key West is close and we explored one night.
Our second campground we stayed at was Sunshine Campground on Ohio Key, almost across the street from Bahia Honda State Park at MM38. The campground is huge and impersonal so we crossed the seven mile bridge north into Marathon Key. There we ate at a thai/chinese restaurant twice and ate 5 cent wings at a place called Faro Blanco/Angler Bar, about MM53. We bought some Jimmy Buffet Ts and broused a few shops.
Our third campground was our old faithful from last trip, America Outdoors at MM97.5 in Key Largo. This was our favorite because of friendliness, happy hours at the Quay (MM103), Pilot House, The Marlin, etc. We looked at property at Moon Bay MM104 and liked unit 401A. We made an offer and it was accepted, so now we own in Key Largo. Weather was back in the 70-80s, when we were in Key Largo.
We left on Wednesday morning and took our time coming back. We stopped in Georgia the first night, Corbin Kentucky at a KOA campground we were at the year before. Then Fiday night in Ohio and spent some time with my sister Sandy.
The lowest gas prices were in Georgia 85.9 per gallon. We filled up with gas at prices of 1.01 in Ohio, 89.9 in Georgia, 107.9 in the Keys and Michigan.

If you are facing a drunk driving charge, you need an experience DWI attorney to protect your legal rights, defend your driving privileges and attempt to reinstate your good name. I have helped guide hundreds of clients through successful plea bargain negotiations and trials as a criminal defense attorney. While most lawyers claim to be experienced trial attorneys, few can match my actual trial experience. As an attorney, I have represented clients in over 200 trials. In 2009 alone, I defended clients in over 50 trials. Most “trial” attorneys will not have that many trials in 5 or 10 years. Because of my trial experience, I have earned a reputation from judges, prosecutors and other criminal defense attorneys as a tough, skilled trial attorney. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how I can help with your case.

This is the beginning of an open source project to create an introduction to music theory book.
Music are sounds you can remember in your mind.
Musicians craft sounds in order to trigger some feelings and/or thoughts in the listener.
With that definition of music, noise is not music and music is not noise, and it's a listener-based property of a sound signal: As in signal treatment, 'noise' means a random sound, and 'random' means 'unpredictable by the observer'. It's 'random', as the result of flipping of a coin is 'random' to an observer lacking proper measurements of the movement of the coin (prior to showing if it landed heads or tails), but not to one that has the whole measurements information.
So, if the listener is not accustomed to some sound, it will certainly be noise to him/her, even though it can be music (not noise) for a different listener. The listener won't be able to remember noise, because it is unpredictable for him/her, and it won't be music.
Some lifeforms started making sounds banging stuff, and decided consciously to make it sound in some way more than other. The rest just builds up on that.
A 'note' means a fundamental frequency of a certain sound. (Fourier theory basics is a must for truly understanding this statement).
The custom in the 'Western world' popular music is to use sounds which notes belong to the Equal temperament tuning system. Apart from that, the frequency of a note called 'A3' is defined to be 440Hz (this note is called '69' in MIDI notation).
We add a number at the right whic is called the 'octave' number (when you go up in frequency 12 semitones from A(n), you get another A which frequency is the double of A(n), and it will be called A(n+1) - it's just a naming convension, don't sweat it - ). The names of the notes are that ones ( D, D#, E, F, F#, ... ) for obsolete reasons for this tuning (the # -sharp- notes had different frequencies and sounded 'bad' in older temperament systems).

Trend Micro Researchers were alerted to the discovery of a campaign of targeted attacks that have successfully compromised defense industry companies in India, USA, Japan, Israel. Eight victims of this attack have been identified.
The attackers sent out emails with a malicious .PDF attachment, detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_PIDIEF.EED which exploits vulnerability in specific versions of Adobe Flash and Reader (CVE_2011-0611) to drop malicious files on the target’s computer. This malicious payload, detected by Trend Micro as BKDR_ZAPCHAST.QZ, connects to a C&C server and communicates some pieces of information about itself and awaits further commands.
The second stage of the attacks involves two components. The attackers issue commands that instruct the compromised computer to report back networking information and file names within specified directories. Certain targets are instructed to download custom DLLS, detected by Trend Micro as BKDR_HUPIG.B, that contain specific functionality related to the compromised entity.
Once inside the network, the attackers issue commands that cause the compromised computer to download tools that allow them to move laterally throughout the network including those that enable “pass-the-hash” techniques. They then issue additional commands that cause the compromised computer to download a remote access Trojan (RAT) that allows the attackers to take real-time control of the compromised system. Trend Micro detects this RAT as BKDR_HUPIGON.ZXS and BKDR_HUPIGON.ZUY.
By staging the attacks this way, the attackers maintain two separate methods of control. The first allows them to schedule commands to be run by the compromised computer when it connects to the command and control server. The second allows attackers to take real-time control of the compromised computer using the RAT.

industry to convince himself that he should be his own boss.
He finally made the leap in 2003, starting Layman Fabrication in North Vernon, Indiana, in an old turkey barn behind his house.
His son, Kyle, was in high school, but he already knew he wanted to build things. It took 10 more years of meticulous work before the two brought in employees.
They’ve long left the turkey barn behind. Layman Fabrication moved into an 8,400-square-foot building in 2011 and has ridden the manufacturing resurgence to the point of finishing a 4,000-square-foot addition. The extra space will allow them to add six welding stations to the 10 they have.
Mig-, Tig- and Stick-weld mild steel, aluminum and stainless steel.
A paint booth to accommodate finishing requirements.
Bend metal plates and metal tubes with a CNC hydraulic press brake and tubing bender.
Punch holes with a 50-ton iron-worker, saw and cut metal to size, and drill and tap holes.
Layman bought a CNC plasma cutter and brought in a design engineer to increase its capabilities further.
What we do, fabricating and welding, is a dying skill.
Layman is on track to do $1.7 million in sales this year. The goal is to get the company to $5 million.
“We want to move more into CNC machining. It would give us capability our competitors don’t have,” Kyle said. Layman also would like to be able to do its own cutting rather than having to outsource the work.
For most companies, the key to growth is being able to retain workers and find new ones to handle additional work. Layman concentrates on workplace culture and extensive training.
Most of Layman’s work is in the automotive—“We’re in an automotive hot zone from here to Detroit”—and the material handling industries. Layman’s largest customer is Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing in Columbus, Indiana. Toyota makes forklifts there.
Layman’s satisfied customers are helping it grow organically. Toyota remains a highly respected name in the manufacturing industry, and Layman’s long-standing relationship earned it a referral to a John Deere manufacturing operation in Tennessee. Agriculture is one of several industries Layman is targeting for new business.
Kyle has turned to several mentors to help improve his business-management skills because he wants to heed the advice that Doug gave when he took over the business.
Layman Manufacturing employees gather in the warehouse for a group photo.

So what gives proto whey protein the edge? Proto whey is the most advanced whey because it is the most absorbable hydrolyzed whey on the market. When something is hydrolyzed that means it is broken down into smaller particles. The smaller the protein particles are the better the body can absorb it and use the nutrients to enhance muscle mass and recovery. Proto whey hydrolyzed protein has up to 300% better absorption than other whey proteins as shown in laboratory testing.
Why is absorption so important? The simple fact of the matter is that if your body can’t absorb it it can’t use it. To illustrate why hydrolyzed protein is superior ask yourself if a basketball can fit into a golf hole. Of course it can’t. Most whey protein particles are too big and take too long to be broken down and potency is lost. The hydrolyzed protein in proto whey protein crunch bars is already broken down to golf ball size meaning it is absorbed into the body almost immediately. The result is that your body reaps all of the muscle building benefits proto whey has to offer.
Proto whey is also the only product with a true micro peptide profile. That means it needs to enzymatic breakdown to absorb like other proteins sources. All the protein is digested which means no undigested protein moves into the colon and causes bloating and cramps. Proto whey also has micronized psyllium fiber. Most protein contains no fiber. Fiber is important as it aids even and complete absorption and helps you stay regular. Many people on high protein diets experience irregularity and constipation.
The protein experts at proto whey also have added extra glutamine to their products. Glutamine is an amino acid found in the body and is important in the process of building muscle and increasing strength. Glutamine helps your body preserve the hard earned muscle that you built while spending time in the gym. It helps your body minimize the rate of muscle break down and also strengthens your immune system.
Proto whey crunch bars are nutritious and super convenient. Incorporate them into your daily fitness and nutrition plan and stay ahead of the pack.
I really like Power Crunch bars. After trying many products, I stopped here. With the hydrolyzed protein, I found I got the most energy and benefit from these bars. I also haven’t found any other bars that taste this good, so it is easy for me to use. They taste great! BNRG nailed it on this one!

YouTube has removed a channel set up by the teenager who raped and murdered Alesha MacPhail as a mark of respect for the six-year-old and her family.
The video-sharing website said it had taken down the films posted by Aaron Campbell, 16, following his conviction for the horrific crime on the Isle of Bute.
The channel mainly featured footage of Campbell playing and commentating on violent computer games, with which he was fixated from an early age.
They included one about a horror character called Slender Man, who abducts and kills children in woods, in a similar manner to Alesha's murder.
His trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard how Campbell had wanted to be a YouTube star and the teenager's mother was reported as saying her son was "addicted" to gaming.
YouTube's announcement came as Georgina Lochrane, Alesha's mother, said she hopes Campbell "rots in jail and never sees the light of day again."
The 24-year-old welcomed the trial judge's decision on Friday to lift a legal restriction on disclosing the killer's identity, saying: "We wanted him to be named and shamed so the whole world would know who the evil monster was."
Under Scots law a convicted criminal cannot be identified until they turn 18 but such was the severity of the crime, that Lord Matthews ruled that he could be named and his photograph published.
The case has also prompted fresh warnings about the risk of violent psychosis among teenagers who smoke extra-strength cannabis. Campbell used the drug for several years before the murder.
Experts also warned that a growing number of teenage boys are committing sexual offences because of violent and graphic material they are viewing online.
Campbell's YouTube channel did not violate the platform's user rules and was not running any adverts.
But the company decided to remove it following Campbell's conviction, which prompted widespread publicity regarding the channel, and the graphic nature of his attack on Alesha.
It is understood that YouTube thought it important to remove the channel to respect and protect the privacy of Alesha and her family.
A spokesman for the company said: "Given the recent conviction, we've removed the channel from YouTube.
"Our hearts go out to the victim and her family, and we wish them peace in this incredibly difficult time."
Alesha lived with her mother in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, but was on Bute in the Clyde to spend three weeks with her father and grandparents.
She had only been there for a matter of days when her grandmother Angela King, 47, discovered she was missing for her room at around 6.30am on July 2.
The family launched a frantic search for her and were joined by dozens of islanders. But her naked body was discovered in the grounds of the old Kyles of Bute Hotel less than three hours later.
The schoolgirl suffered 117 injuries in the violent attack, with a pathologist telling the jury he had never seen anything like the injuries inflicted on her private parts.
Campbell accused of killing her was arrested on July 4. It emerged on the first day of the trial that he knew the family because he had bought cannabis from Alesha’s father.
The fifth-year Rothesay Academy pupil took the schoolgirl from her bedroom, carried her along the shore and left her “brutalised” body in woodland.
Miss Lochrane told the Scottish Mail on Sunday that she awoke on the day of the murder with a premonition that something was wrong and contacted the police after hearing a body had been found on Bute.
Recalling the horrific moment she had to identify her daughter's body, she said: "I just looked at her and it was as if it wasn't my little girl lying there. That was a scared, terrified little girl."
Of the ruling allowing Campbell to be named, she said: "It won't bring my daughter back but if that monster is made an example of then her death won't have been for nothing."
She also disclosed that her younger daughter, four-year-old Courtney, is finding her big sister's murder "very difficult" and is "always asking for Alesha every day."
Sir Robin Murray, professor of psychiatric research at King's College London, warned that those who smoke "high-potency" cannabis are five times more likely to suffer psychosis.
He said: "Psychosis is higher in young people because it is a young person's illness. The violence associated with cannabis is a bizarre kind of violence.
"It is not that a husband kills his wife or that someone is involved in crime and they kill him in pursuit of stealing something. Cannabis-associated violence is often motiveless."
Miles Briggs, the Scottish Tories' Shadow Health Minister, said: "Given all that, it’s clear we need a fresh focus from government at all levels to stop this menace in its tracks.
"The terrible details emerging from Alesha MacPhail’s death have put the spotlight on this drug. Before the spotlight moves away, we should be working together to crack down on it."

His research examines the ways in which the novels of six leading contemporary Welsh women writers – Rachel Trezise, Catrin Dafydd, Deborah Kay Davies, Trezza Azzopardi, Francesca Rhydderch and Stevie Davies – depict their male characters attempting to cling to obsolete patriarchal behaviour and values to resist women’s quest for self-definition and liberty. It also considers the ways in which Welsh women’s writing in English continues to re-write the patriarchal narrative of literature from Wales and is perhaps now achieving its first full blossoming. Finally, the dissertation makes a sidelong comparison with the situation in Burma where traditional accounts of that country’s literature have failed to recognise the role of women’s writing.

Marketer of sprays and plate covers intended to defeat photo enforcement forced to stop doing business in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett announced Friday that the most prominent marketer of products designed to thwart photo enforcement has agreed to stop doing business in the state. Corbett had threatened legal action against Innovative Media Inc, the Harrisburg company most famous for selling "PhotoBlocker" spray that claimed to overexpose license plate photographs and defeat lucrative red light camera and speed camera programs throughout the country. According to Corbett, the sprays and reflective plate covers sold on Innovative Media's website were dubious both in terms of effectiveness and legality.
"The www.PhantomPlate.com website includes dramatic claims such as 'no more red light camera tickets' and 'make your car invisible to traffic cameras,' without clearly explaining that the use of these products violates Pennsylvania law," Corbett said. "The website also makes questionable claims about the effectiveness of the products; confusing statements about testing done by various news agencies and police departments; [and] inaccurate information about patents for these products."
Corbett's court filing explained that the PhantomPlate website had described its products as undetectable to the naked eye and therefore fully legal. The actual plate covers, however, were shipped with a different disclaimer stating, "Your state may prohibit its use on public roads or restrict its use to novelty plates, show car use or off-road areas only." Corbett found this deceptive.
Corbett also cited last year's Discovery Channel episode of Mythbusters where photoblocking sprays and plate covers failed to defeat the latest in speed camera technology from ATS, an automated ticketing company tied with Redflex for the most cameras installed in the US. Other independent tests have shown the covers, not sprays, may help slightly in marginal situations against older technology.
Corbett also found that the "patent pending" claims throughout the PhantomPlate website were untrue. Patent applications made in 2003 and 2004 had since lapsed due to inactivity.
According to the settlement terms, Innovative Media agreed to pay a fine of $20,000 that goes to expanding the budget of the attorney general's office and a $5000 fine to the state treasury. The PhantomPlate website has been updated to limit the prior sweeping claims of effectiveness and legality. The site, without explanation, no longer allows consumers to ship products to Pennsylvania.

Union Station will become a hub for intercity bus service under an agreement scheduled to be announced Monday by John D. Porcari, deputy U.S. transportation secretary and chairman of the Union Station Redevelopment Corp.
The agreement with Greyhound, Bolt Bus, Megabus and Washington Deluxe will allow riders to get on and off the intercity buses in the shelter of a reconfigured bus deck in the station’s garage. To put the deal into effect, the bus deck space will need to be restriped and some utilities will have to be relocated, according to a U.S. Transportation Department source familiar with the agreement. Riders should see the bus operations envisioned in the plan this fall.
Consolidation of the District’s intercity bus service is logical and should be a good deal for riders. The low-fare buses are especially popular, but they have not enjoyed a permanent, protected home. Instead, many stop on D.C. streets. Waiting riders are exposed to the weather, the locations of stops are obscure and confusing, and access to local transit is not always easy.
This deal also is likely to please downtown drivers who get caught up in traffic on streets where the buses stop.
In addition, Greyhound can move buses from its terminal at First and L streets NE, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not been publicly announced. This move also will be welcomed by bus riders. The old terminal, wedged between Union Station and the New York Avenue Metrorail station, is not convenient to either.
Putting the buses inside Union Station means riders can make easy connections with Metrorail and Metrobus, Amtrak, MARC, VRE and the D.C. Circulator buses. The garage is near the Bikestation on the west side of the terminal.
The deal also makes sense for the future of the District and its travelers. Union Station, nearly falling apart until its revival in the late 1980s, is on track to become even more of a focal point for transportation and community development.
The District government, redevelopment corporation and other public and private partners involved in Union Station operations have been looking at projects that include streetcar service on H Street NE, reconstruction of the Metrorail station, enhancements on the station’s shop levels, improvements in vehicle and pedestrian circulation in front of the station, and the residential and commercial development near and over the railroad tracks.
The bus plan won’t yield a profit for the redevelopment corporation, the source said. Initially, the bus companies will be charged an annual $30,000 fee per bus slip to cover the estimated revenue loss from the change in bus-deck operations. There also will be a 75-cent fee per bus rider to help fund the improvements on the bus deck and a nearby parking lot for the bus drivers.
About 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Pentagon Metro station, I approached the south bank of escalators that lead from the mezzanine up to the bus platform. Not surprisingly, two of the three escalators were dead. However, the one operating escalator was going down. The outbound rush-hour riders struggled up the dead escalators in the 95-degree heat, as a couple of people rode down on the operating escalator.
I have seen this before. This time, I walked back to the kiosk and asked if the direction of the operating escalator could be reversed. The agent said that if they stopped the escalator to reverse the direction, it would break.
Have we come to this? Not only are we expected to accept the fact that half of all Metro escalators will be out of service at any given time, but now we have Metro’s First Law of Motion, with a nod to Isaac Newton: An escalator set in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
It wouldn’t take an apple on the noggin to get Sir Isaac to acknowledge the gravity of Metro escalator problems. The moving stairs are way too easy to bust. You or I could do it if we ran up them. A stroller could do it by whacking a step.
Metro’s managers know this situation is one of the top sources of concern and frustration among riders. General Manager Richard Sarles was in Bethesda last week announcing that the entrance escalators at the Bethesda station will be replaced by new units. The Pentagon escalators also are on the replacement list, as are units at Foggy Bottom and the south entrance to Dupont Circle. Unfortunately, that makes a grand total of 12 escalators out of 588.

In November, police arrested the third and final founder of The Pirate Bay after attempting to arrest him for some time.
According to is it down right now, the site went offline around 2am Pacific Time today and hasn’t come back online since. The last time an outage like this occurred, the site had lost its domain name.
Back in September, The Pirate Bay claimed that it ran the site on 21 “raid-proof” virtual machines that meant if authorities raided one location the service would be OK. In this situation, it appears they weren’t quite raid-proof after all.
Other torrent sites including EZTV are also offline at time of writing, although it’s not clear if this relates to the same police raid.
Peter Sunde, co-founder and ex-spokesperson for The Pirate Bay wrote on his personal blog today that “few seem to care [that TPB has been raided]. And I’m one of them.” Sunde says the site was supposed to be closed down on its 10th birthday and expresses his disappointment that nobody took the site further, instead filling it with more and more ads.
Update: At 12:15 PST, reports emerged that the site was relocated to two new domains, however it’s unknown if these are legitimate sites.
Update 2: Torrentfreak reports that it has learned at least one person was arrested in relation to the site today.
Update 3: The Swedish Rights Alliance says that it made a complaint about The Pirate Bay as it is an “illegal commercial service that earns big sums on posting other people’s films and music” which led to the police raid this morning.
Update 4: Whether by coincidence or not, Pirate Bay co-founder Fredrik Neij’sStockholm-based web hosting company has also been seemingly taken offline today.

Evo Morales, Bolivia's president-elect, fresh from meetings with the leaders of Cuba and Venezuela, says that his country welcomes foreign investors, but it will not relinquish control of its natural resources.
"Bolivia needs partners, foreign investors, but not owners of our natural resources," Morales told reporters on Wednesday in Madrid where he was stopping as part of a continuing tour that includes visits to France, Belgium, South Africa, China and Brazil.
"My government ... is going to exercise its property right over its natural resources."
He also said that his government will not tolerate foreign companies that do not respect the law in Bolivia.
"We're going to have a radical attitude with all those oil companies that do not comply with Bolivian law, those that do not pay taxes, those that are smugglers," he said.
Speaking after meeting Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the prime minister of Spain, Morales said he had told him that Spain would pardon nearly all of Bolivia's debt to the country in exchange for investment in education programmes, a measure the Spanish premier has been keen to apply to many Latin American countries.
Bolivia's debt to Spain is estimated at US$120 million.
"This is a great relief for me," Morales said.
"We want to put an end to our country's illiteracy rate."
Morales then met King Juan Carlos at Zarzuela Palace on Madrid's outskirts.
"We're going to have a radical attitude with all those oil companies that do not comply with Bolivian law"
Morales arrived at Madrid's international airport aboard a Venezuelan jet provided by Hugo Chavez.
On Thursday, Morales flies to Brussels.
In the morning, he held talks with Miguel Angel Moratinos, the foreign minister of Spain, Jose Montilla, the industry minister, the Spanish employers' organisation and representatives of the Spanish-Argentine Repsol YPF oil company.
Speaking later, Montilla said he was confident his country could maintain smooth relations with Bolivia.
He said that international energy companies operating in Bolivia "may see some changes in the rules of the game", but also noted that Morales was aware of the role that Spanish and international companies play in job and income creation across Bolivia.
At one point during the news conference, he said he still could not believe that he was elected president and he compared his movement with that of socialist icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
But unlike Guevara, he said, he would work democratically for change, based on "votes, not on bullets".
Morales's campaign promises to nationalise Bolivia's oil and natural gas was high on the agenda of his visit.
The tour is aimed at drumming up support for his incoming government, the first headed by an Indian in Bolivia's 180-year history, and also to show that he can hold his own on the world stage.
Spain's Repsol YPF, which has invested US$1.08 billion in Bolivia, is one of the main foreign energy companies operating in the country.
Bolivia's proven and potential reserves total 53.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas is second only to Venezuela in South America, according to the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration.

Note: A version of this post was originally published on Oct. 11, 2018. It has been updated to include information about additional court records that were unsealed on Oct. 30, 2018.
A Cook County judge has granted a July motion filed by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and a coalition of six media organizations to unseal court documents that shed light on the case of three Chicago police officers facing obstruction of justice and other charges related to the shooting death of teenager Laquan McDonald.
The officers — David March, Joseph Walsh and Thomas Gaffney — are also facing conspiracy and official misconduct charges for allegedly interfering with the investigation into former police officer Jason Van Dyke’s fatal shooting of 17-year-old McDonald in October 2014. Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.
At a Sept. 24 hearing, Cook County Judge Domenica Stephenson granted the media coalition’s motion to intervene in the case and unsealed court filings providing information about how much taxpayer money is being spent to pay prosecutors in the case.
On Oct. 4, Judge Stephenson unsealed the prosecutor’s motion to admit co-conspirator hearsay testimony at trial, along with related briefing. The now public document alleges that unnamed officers, in addition to the three being charged, worked to protect Van Dyke.
And on Oct. 30, Judge Stephenson unsealed the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case, the special prosecutor’s response and the defendants’ reply. In the motion to dismiss, the defense argued that there was no evidence to support the charges against the officers and alleged that the special prosecutor “committed prosecutorial misconduct in the Grand Jury.” In the reply to this motion, the special prosecutor wrote that the defense hadn’t presented “a single shred of evidence of misconduct” and urged the court to deny the motion to dismiss.
Judge Stephenson had previously delayed ruling on unsealing the documents in a series of hearings after the July motion was filed. In response, the media coalition filed a status report and supplemental memorandum urging the court to rule on the July motion and advising the court that continued delay constitutes a denial of access. It was only after this filing in which the coalition again asked the court to rule that Judge Stephenson began to unseal records in the case.
In the July brief, the media coalition argued that the documents in question should not have been sealed and are “presumptively open to the public under the constitutional and common-law rights of access.” The brief also argued that the court did not provide any specific findings to justify the decision to seal the documents, which is required under the law when withholding judicial documents from the public.
In addition, the Reporters Committee noted that access to records in the case is in the best interest of the court because the documents will help the news media present more complete and accurate information to the public.
“This case is of high public interest, and unfettered press coverage of it enhances the public’s confidence in the judicial process,” the media coalition wrote to the court.
Additional filings related to the case can be found here.

This is where the Scout 12 separates itself from the pack! We made sure the Scout 12 was the exception to the rule and consequently it plays great right out of the box. It has fantastic action and that classic chimey sound that you quite literally, can't stop playing. Starting with a great spruce top we then combined it with a mahogany back and sides for a deep and vibrant tone. A rosewood fingerboard sports nickel silver frets for a pro quality feel that you would expect on an instrument costing way more! Sealed diecast tuners keep everything accurate and pitch perfect so you can focus on playing and not retuning all night. The Scout 12 comes with a nylon gig bag and includes a 10 Year Warranty for piece of mind.

Ton Kiang is a longtime local fixture for dim sum, invariably packed and noisy. Don't miss the Shanghai dumplings, filled with meat and a shot of hot soup.
Ton Kiang is a longtime local fixture for dim sum, invariably packed and noisy, especially during peak hours (10am–3pm). Dining rooms on two floors fill up mid-morning with extended families, neighborhood regulars, weekend brunchers, and adventurous tourists all clamoring to get the attention of the ladies rolling around carts of steamed and fried Chinese dumplings, glistening roast duck, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, clay pot stews and sweet egg custard tarts. For novices, the best strategy is to ignore the menu and just point at what looks and smells tasty. Don't miss the Shanghai dumplings, filled with meat and a shot of hot soup, or the crab claws stuffed with shrimp. And save room for a Chinese doughnuts—deep-fried chewy puffs rolled in sugar.
Dim sum was delicious, service attentive, environment bright and unpretentious. I loved every bite and highly recommend it!

Terrorism has progressed to a global phenomenon as a terrorist attack has an immediate effect on society not only in the targeted area, but also across the rest of the world. Acts of terrorism are extremely difficult to predict or provide early warning in most cases. In consideration of Australia, which is to a certain extent insulated from the rest of the world by virtue of the sea barrier, there is a history of terrorist incidents reported back to the 1970s. Since the attack on New York in September 2001, the level of terrorism alert to Australia has increased significantly with a current 'Medium' national level of threat. Critical Infrastructure (CI), which is considered essential for contemporary social human existence, has been impacted by multiple and variable external threats in modern times. The destruction at Chernobyl in 1986 and more recent events such as the terrorist incidents at Madrid in 2004, London in 2005, Moscow in 2011 and the tsunami in Japan in 2011 indicate the vulnerability of this infrastructure. Such events translate to threats from both natural disasters referred to as all hazard origin and human interventions such as terrorism. Subsequently, some private and government organisations of CI now regularly rehearse and simulate models of both terrorist incidents and all hazard events as a proactive protection strategy and business continuity process. These models are implemented in a form of scripted Crisis Simulation Exercises (CSE) which simulate a crisis within an organisation in order to strengthen an organisation's ability to manage crisis situations. CI organisations which adopt these strategies are able to mitigate impact of these crises and therefore, are considered to reflect a more resilient organisation to the effects of external impact. CSEs test plans, procedures, equipment and personnel to industry standards required. Within the spectrum of counter-terrorism in particular, the CSEs are becoming more sophisticated and reflective of reality with incorporation of live actions to ensure credibility and reality. The simulated scenario may include a variety of attack methodologies such as biological, chemical, cyber and conventional bombs/blasts and bullets to maintain exercise standards with continuously developing technology of terrorist attacks. This paper defines the topic of terrorism with the profile of terrorists, and examines the terrorism concept and environment both in Australia and internationally including future considerations. It also provides an overview of the simulated framework for mitigation of crisis associated with CI protection with an Australian perspective, suitable for CI protection worldwide. Additionally, this paper examines the concept of terrorism simulation, illustrating a strong case for future simulation progression with some innovative ideas and futuristic predictions as to where terrorist simulations may advance to across the future.

Lloyd Thomas became interested in carving after his retirement in 2000. Since then he has studied with the Haida carver Rick Wolcott and local West Coast carvers; Howard Greenaway, Wayne Hill and caricature carvers Fred Zavadil and Honky Hawrysio. He is on the executive of the Ontario Wood Carvers Association (OWCA) and has won many awards for his carvings. For the last 8 years he has taught carving classes at Lee Valley Tools and recently at the McMichael Gallery. He volunteers his time teaching carving to grade 7 and 8 classes in local schools. During the summer you will see him making walking sticks with the kids at summer camp. As much as he enjoys West Coast carving he enjoys studying and retelling the stories and myths to children more. Lloyd is currently running the "Whitevale School of the Arts" in Pickering.
Kevin Reid is a retired elementary school music teacher who now has time to carve with the Pickering Woodcarvers in Pickering, Ontario. He is mostly a self taught woodcarver, but has also studied under Tom Gallagher, Wayne Barton, and Dennis Moor. He lives with his quilt making wife and is looking forward to passing his enjoyment of carving to his grandchildren.
Mark Sheridan has been carving for most of his life and has produced a number of award winning caricature carvings. You can view Mark’s recent projects on his website at www.tributesinwood.com and follow his step-by-step progress on his current projects. Influenced by a number of other artists, Mark’s carvings incorporate what he believes is important in a caricature carving: exaggeration, expression, fine detail and the telling of a story.
Mark is the current President of the Ontario Wood Carvers Association and lives with his wife and son in Kingston, Ontario.

A senior government official instrumental in secretly contracting a private company to stage $26 million elections in July refused to speak with reporters about the deal Wednesday and Thursday.
Aides to Sok An wouldn’t make appointments for reporters with the co-minister of the cabinet and didn’t release a press statement.
The deal is said to be an insurance policy against conditions being set by foreign countries for their election aid.
Australian, Japanese and EU officials said they are reviewing their aid agreements to determine if the deal violates them.
A senior adviser to Sok An said the National Election Committee would pay for private elections, and that government payment of the $26 million tab would violate the NEC’s independence. However, NEC member Chea Chamroeun said the post-election government must repay the money.
A senior finance official said Wednesday it is doubtful the Cambodian government can procure $26 million for elections.

Mother Nature is daring. She mixes amazing color combinations, from bright hues to soft pastels.
It’s the first day of spring and time to take a lesson from Mother Nature’s palette to create a garden masterpiece with new easy to grow, low maintenance plants.
Gardening experts say it’s easy to have a show stopping garden with continuous color spring through fall by picking the right plants for the right spot. New plants out this spring prove to be just what the gardener wants: easy to grow, full of blooms, and low maintenance.
Herbs in the landscape, in pots or in the kitchen garden are also hot this spring. Grace uses herbs to add color and texture in borders and mixes them in containers with veggies or perennials.
McCoy agrees. “It’s so easy to pot up herbs indoors and out for fresh ingredients year round.” She loves the rare and traditional new herbs like stevia, lemon grass and bee balm, the herb of the year, she’s found at The Growers Exchange. “Perennial herbs like rosemary look stunning cascading over walls or out of containers,” says McCoy.

Rick Culver first picked up the trombone at age 10, and by age 12 was already perform¬ing in a local, professional Dixieland jazz band. His formal musical education came from completing the requirements for a bachelor and master's degree in performance from The Juilliard School in New York and a second master's degree in theory and composi¬tion from Michigan State University. Culver spent three years in the Army Field Band as a founding member of their prestigious Studio Jazz Band (now known as the Jazz Ambassadors). His practical musical experiences continued to accumulate during the years he spent on the road with big bands, some of them in the last years of their traveling heyday (the late 60s and early 70s). Larry Elgart, Glenn Miller, under Buddy OeFranco, Billy Max+ed, Woody Herman, and the Buddy Rich big bands all included him as a member during that period.
After settling in LA as a free-lance musician, he spent 18 years performing, recording, teaching, and writing jazz and classical music. He was a long-time member of and made recordings with several of the top jazz bands in LA., including Bill Holman, Bob Florence, Lew Tabackin/Toshiko Akiyoshi, Gordon Brisker, Kirn Richmond, and &ave Pell. He performed in bands backing countless artists: everyone from Elvis Presley to Mel Torme and Ella Fitzgerald..
Church for their Centennial Celebration on 9/18/88. Plus-One Productions. Fanfare and Solos for Brass Quintet. Commissioned by the Composers Brass Quintet of Los Angeles to open their school concerts. Plus-One Productions. Dances from a Hillside Manor. For Trombone Quartet. Commissioned by Yamaha Corporation for 1986 Interna¬tional Trombone Association Convention. Barnhouse Publishers. 20 trombone etudes. For tenor trombone, and Unaccompanied Suite for Bass Trombone.
Opera called Imaginary Lands and Dances. This opera is scheduled to premier Los Angeles in the fall of 2005.
Since moving to Michigan, Culver has concentrated on all forms of music, whether it be performance and composition for classical music, or performing in and writing for small-group jazz ensembles and jazz bands, giving private lessons, coaching jazz bands and combos, teaching at summer jazz big band and combo camps, and doing clinics and performances for schools and colleges in the midwest.
His Jazz trio CD is called Painted Scarves. It was nominated in the Entry List (first round category) for a Grammy award under Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group in 2000. The CD contains eleven arrangements of standard tunes, plus two originals. He wrote the music for a CD and the text for a trombone masterclass article in the April/May 2001 issue of Jazz Player Magazine called Habits for the Horn and jazz improvisation.
In 2002 he was guest artist and clinician at Saginaw State University led by Jeff Hall, and in March of 2003 was with the Cheboygan Junior and Senior High School big bands led by Andrew Dunham, at the Victorian Theater in the famous Opera House in downtown Cheboygan, Michigan. 2004 marks his fourth season as a faculty member for the two-week summer jazz camp at the Birch Creek Performance Center in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. In December of 2004, Culver was invited by the Instructor of Jazz Studies, Jack Cooper, and lower brass instructor, John Mueller, to come to Memphis State University and perform as guest artist with Cooper's jazz band and to conduct a clinic and master class for Mueller's trombone students.
