What began as a news conference by Macon Mayor Robert Reichert to address concerns about a recent spate of shootings involving teenagers turned into a community forum as concerned residents packed City Hall to express their concerns and frustrations.
Reichert said he and the police department plan to “redouble their efforts” to curb violence in the city after one 16-year-old died and four others were wounded in two separate incidents over the past week.
GRANT BLANKENSHIP/THE TELEGRAPH Darrlyn Morris told Macon Mayor Robert Reichert that the blame for youth violence in Macon doesn't sit with him but instead lies with the parents of violent kids. A news conference held by Reichert to address a recent spate of violence turned into a forum as concerned residents spoke out about the shootings.
Watch Mayor Reichert's full press conference
Arquentris Fountain, 16, a student at Southwest High School, died Monday night after getting shot in the head while in the parking lot at a birthday party held at a shopping center on Eisenhower Parkway on Saturday night. Two other teenagers, Kyrod Butts, 19, and Devin Williams, 18, also were shot, incurring non-life-threatening injuries.
Macon police arrested a 16-year-old juvenile Tuesday on charges related to Fountain's death, a news release said.
Police didn't release the name of the juvenile, nor did it list specific charges, but the news release said detectives have signed warrants for the juvenile.
Fountain died Monday at The Medical Center of Central Georgia. The news release didn't say if other arrests are pending in the homicide.
Police officials credited the Gang Task Force and the US Marshal's Office for their assistance in the case.
Last Wednesday, two 16-year-old Westside High School students were shot near the Village Green neighborhood. Police announced Tuesday afternoon that they arrested Trevarus Kendrick, 17, on multiple charges related to the shooting, including participation in gang activity, aggravated assault and theft by receiving stolen vehicle. Kendrick is accused of also trying to shoot a 16-year-old that day, but his assault rifle jammed and he didn’t succeed, police said.
As part of that same incident, police also charged Dorian Spencer and Doug Boyd with theft by receiving a stolen automobile. Police said more arrests are expected in the case.
At Tuesday’s news conference, Reichert unveiled a plan that uses the acronym “BEST,” which stands for building our community; educating all of our children; safety in every neighborhood; and transit through our region.
“Today, the attention is focused on safety in our neighborhoods,” Reichert said. “The community is concerned about the rash of youth violence, and specifically about the recent shootings that have left four young men injured and one dead, bringing to a total of 10 the number of homicides we have had in Macon this year, with 27 (gun-related) aggravated assaults -- unacceptable by any stretch of the imagination.”
Reichert quoted former President Harry Truman, noting that “the buck stops here” and that the mayor is ultimately responsible for what happens in the city.
Reichert noted that the violence hasn’t been random shootings. Rather, they are “personal, specific, intentional and targeted.” Many of the shootings, he said, are perpetrated by “hybrid gangs” -- gangs that aren’t affiliated with national gangs such as the Crips and the Bloods, but rather local-based gangs.
“Unless your youth is associated with these groups, they are not likely to be a target,” Reichert said.
Reichert proposed a two-part solution: intervention and prevention.
“We’re going to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of these types of crimes,” he said, noting that Macon police will partner with law enforcement agencies across the state and country to put more resources into stopping crime.
He said he wants to partner with community organizations, the Bibb County school system, churches and the Macon-Bibb County Office of Workforce Development in order to focus on preventing youths from getting involved in criminal activities. He wants to expand police youth intervention programs, such as the Police Athletic League and DARE.
One major change is that he hopes to initiate a youth advisory council that will provide a forum for area youth to provide solutions to the issues they face.
Deputy Police Chief Mike Carswell said the department will use more patrols and be a more visible presence in neighborhoods. He said gangs have been a problem in Macon for a while, but in spite of the recent shootings, he doesn’t see it becoming more of an issue.
Others speak out
Several people from the community who spoke out during the event said the blame lies not with the police or the city, but rather with parents not doing enough to be a positive influence in their children’s lives.
Bishop Charles Hayes Jr., a former sheriff’s deputy in Louisiana, was among the most vocal people to speak at Tuesday’s event. He said he fears for the safety of his two sons, who attend Rutland Middle School and Hutchings Career Center.
“Police are doing the best they can, but they need to be more (visible),” he said. Police need to make more sweeps of neighborhoods for gang members, and those who are caught need to be placed with the military and “sent over to Afghanistan and Iraq,” he said.
The Rev. Ronald Terry, pastor at New Fellowship Baptist Church, said too many women are having children out of wedlock and that too many men are abandoning their responsibilities as fathers. He said parents needed to be more involved in their children’s lives. He also said he hopes police will set up roadblocks in neighborhoods and be more aggressive with suspicious activity.
Macon Councilman Virgil Watkins, chairman of the council’s Public Safety Committee, said he agreed with Reichert’s plan and said he looks forward to hearing more details about it.
An hour after Reichert’s news conference, former mayoral candidates C. Jack Ellis and Robert Brown held their own news conference at the same location, with Watkins standing at the lectern with them. Ellis and Brown were both critical of Reichert, questioning why he hadn’t done more during his first administration to address crime.
Ellis touted programs from his time as mayor, including a midnight basketball program and a truancy program that Reichert later eliminated.
Brown said some of the issues stemmed from having a “conservative regime” in charge and that the community group he and Ellis were a part of would look at how city resources are directed.
Martha Harrell, the great-aunt of Fountain, was at the Ellis-Brown event and said her nephew was invited to the party where the shooting happened. When the gunfire started, he tried to get back into the club where the party was being held, but the doors were barred.
“He was hot and walked out,” she said. “My nephew had been the life of the party.”
She said that soon after that, some uninvited guests who were outside got into a fight and started shooting. Fountain was struck by a bullet while trying to get back in.
Bibb County school system spokesman Chris Floore said Tuesday that counselors were available Monday and Tuesday to Southwest High’s students or teachers.
Zita Portillo, whose 16-year-old daughter was invited to the party, said they were originally told the party would end at midnight and that there would be security there. But once the trouble started, Portillo said, the doors were barred. She got a phone call from her daughter shortly after 11 p.m. telling her that there was shooting and fights going on in the parking lot.
“My biggest complaint is that people were put in harm’s way,” she said.
Harrell said Fountain’s funeral has been set for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Beulahland Bible Church in Macon.

Surprise! Gun sales explode in Minnesota after riots, #
Let’s allow the streets to burn, demand the dismantling of the police department, and then call concern over property crimes and assaults a symptom of “privilege.” Minnesotans have responded by rediscovering one of the core purposes of the Second Amendment — mainly first-time firearms buyers, local CBS affiliate WCCO reports.
“People are really scared,” one gun-store owner says, and they should be:
...Background checks in Minnesota spiked in March as COVID-19 hit the United States, with more than 96,000 filed — the most for any month in 20 years.
...What happens when civic authority retreats?
Those with the most credible threat of violence fill the vacuum.
That’s what happened in the riots themselves, and that’s what happened in Seattle, too...

QDear Tom and Ray:
I had a serious accident on the freeway this morning when I had a blown tire, lost control of my car ('94 Camry four-door sedan), hit the concrete divider, spun out of control and finally came to a rest without hitting another car! Our body shop told my husband that in addition to the body damage on my car, I have a broken strut. Is it possible that contributed to blowing out my tire? -- Fran
A RAY: Tires can blow out for a number of reasons. A tire can simply be old and worn out. It can have a bubble in the sidewall, or some other previous damage that finally gives out. It could have been under-inflated, which can cause it to heat up and explode. Or a tire could blow out because you ran over a road hazard, like a discarded 12-speed blender.
TOM: If the blowout came first, then hitting the concrete barrier could have broken the strut. A strut is a three-foot-long shock absorber and spring assembly. There's one at each wheel. And often, we see struts get bent in accidents.
RAY: The other scenario is that you were on your cell phone or were spreading cream cheese on your bagel, and you hit the concrete barrier first, which then caused the blowout and the broken strut. That happens more often than you think these days.
TOM: But don't worry, Fran. Only 11 million people read this column, and it's unlikely that your insurance adjuster is one of them.
RAY: In all seriousness, Fran, it's unlikely that the strut broke first and caused the blowout. The strut almost certainly broke when you hit the barrier.
Dear Tom and Ray:
In the 1940s and early '50s, we had a big old buffalo robe, and I remember my "old man" putting this blanket on the hood of the car or on the engine to keep it warm in the winter. I'm wondering now if this had any effect. -- Ken
RAY: Well, let's start by discussing blanket technology, Ken. A blanket works by slowing heat loss. So, if you wrap yourself in a blanket at dinnertime and then sit outside in zero-degree weather overnight, you'll lose less heat and be warmer the next morning than you would have been without the blanket.
TOM: But is the same true for a car? Well, the big difference between you and a car engine is that you keep generating heat all night. The engine just starts losing its heat as soon as you turn it off.
RAY: So the question is, does a blanket slow heat loss enough to keep some heat in the engine 12 hours later? The answer is, probably not.
TOM: In cold weather, an engine normally loses most of its heat in about three hours. The only exception -- but it's an important one -- is the oil, which can take as much as eight hours to reach complete equilibrium with the outside air.
RAY: Can a blanket extend the time it takes for oil to get stone cold by an additional four to six hours? I don't think it's likely, when the temperature is well below freezing. But if the car were driven at 11 p.m. and then started again at 6 a.m., the blanket might make a difference.
TOM: But there are better alternatives these days. There are block heaters that you can plug into an electrical outlet. And then, of course, there's the greatest advance ever in cold-weather car-starting: the heated garage.
RAY: And if you build one, Ken, put the horse in there, too. He'll appreciate that a lot more than a stinkin' blanket.

Summary: Study reports in the short term, astrocytes regulate caloric intake by controlling the signaling pathway between the gut and brain. Eating high-fat or high-calorie diets disrupts this pathway.
Source: The Physiological Society
Regularly eating a high-fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain’s ability to regulate calorie intake.
New research in rats published in The Journal of Physiology has found that after short periods of being fed a high-fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to balance calorie intake.
The researchers, from Penn State College of Medicine in the United States, suggest that calorie intake is regulated in the short-term by cells called astrocytes (large star-shaped cells in the brain that regulate many different functions of neurons in the brain) that control the signaling pathway between the brain and the gut. Continuously eating a high-fat/calorie diet seems to disrupt this signaling pathway.
Understanding the brain’s role and the complex mechanisms that lead to overeating, a behavior that can lead to weight gain and obesity, could help develop therapies to treat it.
Obesity is a global public-health concern because it is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. In England, 63% of adults are considered above a healthy weight and around half of these are living with obesity. One in three children leaving primary school are overweight or obese.
Dr. Kirsteen Browning, Penn State College of Medicine, said, “Calorie intake seems to be regulated in the short-term by astrocytes. We found that a brief exposure (three to five days) of high-fat/calorie diet has the greatest effect on astrocytes, triggering the normal signaling pathway to control the stomach.
“Over time, astrocytes seem to desensitize to the high-fat food. Around 10–14 days of eating high-fat/calorie diet, astrocytes seem to fail to react, and the brain’s ability to regulate calorie intake seems to be lost. This disrupts the signaling to the stomach and delays how it empties.”
Astrocytes initially react when high-fat/calorie food is ingested. Their activation triggers the release of gliotransmitters, chemicals (including glutamate and ATP) that excite nerve cells and enable normal signaling pathways to stimulate neurons that control how the stomach works. This ensures the stomach contracts correctly to fill and empty in response to food passing through the digestive system.
When astrocytes are inhibited, the cascade is disrupted. The decrease in signaling chemicals leads to a delay in digestion because the stomach doesn’t fill and empty appropriately.
The vigorous investigation used behavioral observation to monitor food intake in rats (N=205, 133 males, 72 females) which were fed a control or high-fat/calorie diet for one, three, five or 14 days.
This was combined with pharmacological and specialist genetic approaches (both in vivo and in vitro) to target distinct neural circuits, enabling the researchers to specifically inhibit astrocytes in a particular region of the brainstem (the posterior part of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord) so they could assess how individual neurons behaved as they studied the rats’ behavior while they were awake.
Human studies must be carried out to confirm whether the same mechanism occurs in humans. If this is the case, further testing will be required to assess whether the mechanism could be safely targeted without disrupting other neural pathways.
The researchers have plans to further explore the mechanism. Dr. Browning said, “We have yet to find out whether the loss of astrocyte activity and the signaling mechanism is the cause of overeating or that it occurs in response to the overeating.
“We are eager to find out whether it is possible to reactivate the brain’s apparent lost ability to regulate calorie intake. If this is the case, it could lead to interventions to help restore calorie regulation in humans.”

“Brainstem Astrocytes Control Homeostatic Regulation of Caloric Intake” by Kirsteen Browning et al. Journal of Physiology
Brainstem Astrocytes Control Homeostatic Regulation of Caloric Intake
Prolonged high-fat diet (HFD) exposure is associated with hyperphagia, excess caloric intake and weight gain. After initial exposure to a HFD, a brief (24–48 h) period of hyperphagia is followed by the regulation of caloric intake and restoration of energy balance within an acute (3–5 day) period.
Previous studies have demonstrated this occurs via a vagally mediated signalling cascade that increases glutamatergic transmission via activation of NMDA receptors located on gastric-projecting neurons of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV).
The present study used electrophysiological recordings from thin brainstem slice preparations, in vivo recordings of gastric motility and tone, measurement of gastric emptying rates, and food intake studies to investigate the hypothesis that activation of brainstem astrocytes in response to acute HFD exposure is responsible for the increased glutamatergic drive to DMV neurons and the restoration of caloric balance.
Pharmacological and chemogenetic inhibition of brainstem astrocytes reduced glutamatergic signalling and DMV excitability, dysregulated gastric tone and motility, attenuated the homeostatic delay in gastric emptying, and prevented the decrease in food intake that is observed during the period of energy regulation following initial exposure to HFD.
Understanding the mechanisms involved in caloric regulation may provide critical insights into energy balance as well as into the hyperphagia that develops as these mechanisms are overcome.

Re: How Lethal Is A .22 ???
"And yes, yes, yes I know all about those Mossad guys who used .22's as sniper weapons. But didn't I say you could kill people if you had time to aim and pick a perfect shot with a .22? Sure I did. I guess they are just as effective as every other caliber after all. You guys should sell all your large caliber weapons and use nothing but .22's for SD. Use shorts while you're at it. I saw people talking how they were effective too.
There. It's settled."---cj_56
Wow ! I wasn't aware of this [but I'm new to shooting].
What a splendid idea. I have some very expensive guns
so I should fare real well on trading.
And I love wearing shorts, what a plus. [long pants suck]
My wife should now be able to shoot with me, 'cause I
don't think the .22's have that much recoil.
Thanks for the great advice.
Off to the gun show....I'll keep ya posted.

- Casino credit company to settle class-action lawsuits (3-16-10)
- Casino supply company’s founders sue over link to criminal activity (11-9-09)
- Casino ATM supplier to settle Arizona complaint (11-4-09)
- Casino ATM operator fixing cash withdrawal problem (11-3-09)
- Vegas gaming supplier to acquire Sparks company (8-5-09)
A federal judge on Monday dismissed one of the two antitrust lawsuits filed this year by competitors against Las Vegas-based casino ATM provider Global Cash Access Holdings Inc.
Sightline Payments LLC, headed by former Global Cash CEO Kirk Sanford, filed the suit March 22 in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
After months of legal wrangling by the parties, federal Judge Philip Pro rejected Sightline's arguments Monday and dismissed the case.
Sightline complained that through acquisitions GCA now controls 90 percent of the casino ATM market, but GCA argued that even assuming that was true, Sightline failed to allege GCA charges monopoly prices or that GCA has done anything more than lawfully grow its business.
"The court finds merely alleging that GCA has acquired a 90 percent market share, without more, is insufficient to support Sightline's claims," Pro wrote in his ruling.
Pro also rejected allegations that GCA purchased a patent to restrict competition, entered "exclusionary agreements" with casinos and disparaged Sanford when it settled a complaint filed by Arizona gaming regulators alleging wrongdoing by GCA executives years ago.
In settling the Arizona complaint, GCA agreed to disassociate itself from Sanford. Sanford argued that resulted in the tarnishment of his character and harmed efforts by Sightline to gain gaming licenses.
"To prove that disparagement rises to the level of antitrust violation a plaintiff must show those disparaging representations are clearly false. Sightline makes no such allegation in its complaint," Pro wrote.
Another lawsuit pitting Global Cash against Sanford and other former GCA executives, in which GCA alleges trademark infringement and accuses the defendants of violating confidentiality agreements, is pending in Clark County District Court.
On July 16 in that case, state Judge Kathleen Delaney issued a temporary restraining order barring Sanford and codefendants Thomas Sears and Diran Kludjian from using or disseminating any of GCA's trade secrets or confidential and proprietary information.
"The court finds that this will not prevent defendants' business, Sightline Payments LLC, from continuing to operate," the judge wrote.
Separately, Global Cash was sued by competitor Automated Systems America Inc. (ASAI) on July 7 in federal court in California. Automated Systems also alleged antitrust violations and defamation related to GCA's use of patents.
"ASAI ... alleges that Global has threatened to file, or filed, other suits based upon the (patents) in order to drive other competitors out of the market," that lawsuit complains, adding the patents at issue are not enforceable.
Global Cash has not yet answered that complaint in court, but in a recent regulatory filing said: "The company believes it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend this action."
For the second quarter, Global Cash said revenue fell 9.1 percent on a year-to-year basis to $157.2 million. It posted a profit of $5.9 million or 9 cents per share, down from $9.2 million or 12 cents in 2009's second quarter.
"While conditions in the gaming industry remain challenging, we’ve continued to pursue our product and service innovation strategy and believe that this is positioning the company well for the long-term. We believe our market position, breath of products and our ever-increasing focus on innovation and customer service continues to position us well for the future," CEO Scott Betts said in the Aug. 4 earnings report.
Global Cash also said July 21 that a big customer, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., was not renewing contracts that are expiring Nov. 30, and that the decision should not have a material impact on its 2010 results.
The company received a boost last month when Nevada gaming regulators approved testing of the company's QuikTicket system allowing gamblers to receive slot machine tickets, or vouchers, from ATM machines.
Instead of taking cash from an ATM machine and inserting it into a slot machine, players can use the tickets instead. This has been touted as a means to reduce cash-handling costs and improve security.

No prophet is accepted in his own hometown, as the saying goes, and that’s certainly been filmmaker Justin Eugene Evans’ experience. Although the New Berlin resident is not native to the Milwaukee suburb, he credits his local address with preventing him from getting his award-winning film “A Lonely Place for Dying” shown on Milwaukee-area movie screens.
“I approached most of the Milwaukee theaters in June, but no one responded,” said Evans. “For whatever reason, we could book showings in five other states more easily than in our hometown.”
Could it be the kind of twisted case of snobbery that Groucho Marx had in mind when he quipped, "I don't care to belong to any club that would have me as a member?"
Evans' film has won 27 awards at film festivals across the country, including 18 for best picture. It's being screened in multiple cities in Idaho, Montana, Ohio, Oregon and Washington in coming weeks. Outside of Milwaukee, the movie has engagements in the Wisconsin communities of Chetek, Medford and Merrill, as well as a Sept. 7 date at the historic Al. Ringling Theatre in Baraboo.
And Evans himself will be on hand for a three-day, six-show run Sept. 14-16 at Madison’s Barrymore Theater. He’ll answer questions following each screening.
Evans, 39, has an impressive lifelong resume in his field. The son of former video store owners, he started his first theater company at 14 and began making films at 15. He graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he became the first undergraduate to complete a feature film while in school. He was the art director for an Albuquerque, N.M., video gaming company.
But despite those credentials, Evans has experienced his share of rejection. Seven festivals turned down his film before it landed its first slot. The reason that each festival gave was that, despite being an indie film produced for less than $250,000, “A Lonely Place for Dying” was far too “slick” with too much of a Hollywood action-flick quality to it.
Ironically, these backhanded compliments have since been the reasons for the film’s growing success.
Set in 1972, “A Lonely Place for Dying” is a spy thriller that pits a Russian KGB agent against a member of the American CIA – with dire consequences. Nikolai Dzerzhinsky (Ross Marquand) has a microfiche with photos of an illegal CIA-run bombing raid on Vientiane, Laos, during the Vietnam War. He is willing to trade the film to Washington Post editor-in-chief Howard Simons (Academy Award nominee James Cromwell, who also serves as the film’s executive producer) in exchange for asylum in America.
Dzerzhinsky agrees to a meeting with a Post reporter in an abandoned Mexican prison, but instead finds himself facing CIA agent Robert Harper (Michael Scovotti), who has been sent to kill him and retrieve the evidence. The majority of the film takes place in the prison, evolving from a running battle between the two operatives to an unlikely alliance when both men learn that they’re being hunted by the CIA.
Evans co-wrote, produced, directed and served as one of the cinematographers for the film, which was shot in its entirety in the former New Mexico State Penitentiary, a now-abandoned prison outside of Santa Fe. (In 1980, the penitentiary was the site of one of the most violent prison riots in U.S. history.) Special effects and back projections were used for the film’s early scenes in Laos and Washington, D.C., but the bulk of the action occurs within the confines of the decaying prison.
Evans, who also spent a decade as a freelance art director in Hollywood, China and India, got his original idea for the film from an unlikely source at the video game company where he formerly worked.
“One of the members of our technical department was ex-CIA,” Evans says. “We'd go out for lunch and he'd tell these amazing anecdotes about working for ‘The Agency.’ That's when I started thinking about making a spy film. His knowledge made it easier to tell an honest, realistic spy story.”
Evans’ video game experience also allowed him to capitalize on the film’s special effects capabilities and save money in the production process. Evans tapped artist Marc Leonard to create more than 300 visual effects – from gunshot wounds to enhanced sunlight pouring in through the prison’s barred windows. All those effects translate into one for every 20 seconds of screen time.
"When I joined the film as a visual effects artist I understood that I'd be doing muzzle flares and blood splatter, but as time went by it became clear that Justin wanted me to be an extension of his cinematography,” Leonard says. “I'd wrap up a shot and Justin would ask me to add more dust, add rays of light and animate the clouds."
Evans was fortunate to attract a talented cast. More than 10,000 actors submitted portfolios for the various roles. In addition to Cromwell, Liam Neeson and Tim Robbins expressed interest in the role of Simons, but were unable to commit for various reasons.
“If you have the ability to write compelling dialogue and craft a well-told story, then any movie star is accessible,” Evans says. “All we did to attract Cromwell was send him the script. It really is that simple.”
Now Evans, whose has 23 other scripts in development, hopes he will have as much success finding a hometown screen to show his film. The filmmaker plans to reach out to local real estate investor Lee Barczak, the owner of Bay View’s Avalon Theater and recent purchaser of Milwaukee’s Times Cinema and Wauwatosa’s Rosebud Cinema Drafthouse, in hopes that one of the classic theaters might project his work.
“I'd like to book a Milwaukee theatrical run immediately,” Evans says. “I'll sweep the floors, clean bathrooms and help with concessions. Whatever it takes!”
Chances are, after all Evans has been through to produce his award-winning film, his local aspirations won’t be disappointed forever.

The Relationship Between the Risk of Falls and Functional and Psychological Measures in Older Adults
Complex movement coordination and psychological resilience predict the risk of falls in older adults with the former accounting for 68.8% and latter for 48.5% of the variance.
Steps to reproduce
Test older adults (60+) with the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test. Add a dynamometer (hand strength) test and also assess psychological resilience, well-being, happiness, perceived stress, and satisfaction with life. Run a correlation between all measures. Subsequently perform Bayesian linear regressions for objective and subjective measures. Finally, check if the subjective measures mediate the relationship between the objective indices and the risk of falls (the latter is assessed with the Berg balance Test).

List of Italian restaurant chains, including Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden, Carraba's and all of the best Italian food chains. Italian restaurant chains are some of the most popular family restaurants in America--and while many chain restaurants get a bad rep for having bland food, the italian restaurants on this list are actually pretty good. Restaurant chains offer a familiarity through their decor and menu throughout all of their locations. As such, they tend to be most popular in areas where one would find travelers or tourists. This list focuses primarily on sit-down Italian restaurants. Today, nearly every cuisine imaginable has a restaurant chain attached to it, but in the USA at least, few types of sit down restaurants are more popular than Italian food - pizza, pasta, breadsticks - yum!

The Stranglers bassist JJ Burnel has described the noise complaint made against the Guildford pub where the band started out as "scandalous".
Burnel, 66, was speaking ahead of a ceremony on Thursday (January 31) unveiling a plaque to commemorate the punk band's first gig, which they played at The Star in September 1974.
"It's a lovely little pub," he said, "It's great. I think everyone should get up in arms about the possibility The Star might lose its music licence.
"It's one more pub, especially in a place like Guildford, that's going down because of some selfish b******'s wishes."
Following a noise complaint from the developer of a neighbouring block of flats, Guildford Borough Council issued a noise abatement notice in October 2018 - a decision which the pub's manager Georgina Baker said meant the pub would "effectively close as a music venue".
"I think it's scandalous," said Burnel. "It's been there for years, it's done a lot of good for the music scene.
"He should dig in his pockets and soundproof those places."
The Star's owner, Kent brewery Shepherd Neame, has appealed the council's decision but a date for a hearing has not yet been fixed.
After their first gig at The Star, The Stranglers went on to international fame, chalking up 23 UK Top 40 singles and 17 Top 40 albums.
But years of the rock'n'roll lifestyle have clouded Burnel's memory of that first night in Quarry Street.
"I vaguely recollect the gig," he said. "I think half the audience were say on the floor, and we were grateful to have somewhere to play.
"It was the end of the big boom that was the pub rock days, that gave a lot of bands a chance to play. Pubs were a really integral part of a lot of bands' education, names you might be aware of."
Growing up in Godalming and Guildford, Burnel went to his first rock gigs at the Gin Mill Club, held at the now-closed Angel pub in Godalming High Street, and learned to play guitar in Guildford's Martyr Road, near the old Surrey Advertiser offices.
He still returns to Guildford - "to see how it's changed since I was a kid" - and the band performs regularly at G Live, on the site of the old Civic Hall where a riot during a gig in 1977 saw them banned from the venue.
"Our fans did that a lot," said Burnel. "I think it was the drugs."
The band is returning to G Live once again, although without the riot, on March 19.

The middle Cretaceous was a period of extreme climate changes and repeated perturbations of the global carbon cycle, which resulted in widespread deposition of organic carbon-rich sediments. High atmospheric pCO2 has been invoked as the main cause of middle Cretaceous super greenhouse Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) and biocalcification crises. Most of what we know about climate and global change in the middle Cretaceous was derived from the study of geochemical proxies and biotic change in deep-water sequences. Comparatively much less is known from shallow-water carbonate systems, although they are an important part of the global carbon cycle and are very sensitive to oceanographic and climatic forcing. Larger foraminifers were among the most conspicuous carbonate producers in the late Cenomanian carbonate platforms. They were almost completely wiped out by extinction during the late Cenomanian OAE (about 94-93.5 million years ago). Parente et al. show how the pattern of extinction parallels the ecological succession along a gradient of increasing nutrient input predicted by model studies and observed in field studies of nutrient-polluted habitats of larger foraminifers. Correlation by high-resolution carbon-isotope stratigraphy shows that extinction on shallow-water platforms is contemporaneous with an episode of thermal instability in the open ocean. They suggest that enhanced water mass mixing delivered high-nutrient loads to the oligotrophic surface waters of the subtropical Tethys, triggering the stepwise extinction of larger foraminifers and the drowning of many carbonate platforms.

Explosive growth in the background screening industry during the past decade has generated near-universal adoption of criminal checks and a steady rise in credit checks for all U.S. job candidates.
In some industries, recruiters are using criminal and credit screening as a quick and easy method for culling the ever-larger pile of applications. But this growing reliance on screening is on a collision course with new legislative restrictions, legal challenges and mounting evidence that such results are poor predictors of behavior and performance.
Even employers that limit the types of screening results that will lead to adverse hiring decisions may violate federal law. On October 1, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a discrimination lawsuit against Freeman Cos., a nationwide convention and corporate events marketing company.
Since at least 2001, Freeman has rejected job applicants based on their credit history and if they have had various types of criminal charges or convictions, the suit claims. The EEOC says these exclusionary practices are not job-related or justified by business necessity.
In March, the EEOC settled a lawsuit against Franke Foodservice Systems, which refused to hire a black applicant who disclosed a felony conviction on his application even though the company hired a white applicant a year earlier who made a similar disclosure. A spate of EEOC and private lawsuits are pending against other companies for unlawfully denying employment to people with criminal records or bad credit histories.
EEOC hearings on screening practices in November 2008 included expert testimony that the results are not good predictors of employee behavior or performance. In addition to greater EEOC scrutiny of criminal record screening practices, a growing number of states now prohibit or limit pre-employment arrest inquiries.
One in five U.S. adults now have a criminal record that would show up on a routine pre-employment background check, according to estimates based on Bureau of Justice data.
“Everyone checks for criminality for all jobs,” says Robert Pickell, vice president for customer solutions at HireRight, a background screening provider based in Irvine, California.
HireRight’s 2009 survey results confirm this, with 93 percent of employers reporting that they run criminality checks, up from 85 percent in 2008.
“Criminality usually leads to adverse actions,” Pickell notes.
HireRight surveyed 1,411 employers of all sizes from more than 15 industries. The survey found that 84 percent of employers conduct comprehensive screening before the first day of work; 8 percent screen immediately after the start.
The HireRight survey found that 42 percent of employers check credit histories, up from 36 percent in 2008, but legislators are increasingly challenging the use of credit checks in pre-employment screening. In the second quarter of 2009, U.S. consumer loan and credit card delinquencies rose to their highest level in 35 years, according to American Bankers Association.
Congress is considering a bill that would prevent employers from using credit reports in their hiring or promotion decisions. In June, Hawaii joined Washington state in limiting the use of credit checks in pre-employment screening; bans or restrictions also are under consideration in Michigan, Ohio, Connecticut, Missouri, New York and Texas. A California bill that restricts credit checks in pre-employment screening cleared the state Legislature in 2008 and 2009, only to be vetoed twice by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
For 53 percent of employers, screening results adversely affect the hiring decision in 4 percent or less of the cases, according to the HireRight survey. Ten percent of employers report that adverse actions occur in 10 to 15 percent of the screens.
“This is often around issues in the verification area, plus criminality,” Pickell reports.
At the other end of the adverse-action spectrum, 10 percent of employers report that screening adversely affects the hiring decision in a staggering 50 percent or more of the cases.
“The 50 percent-or-more adverse-action group is probably in industries where you have low-skilled hourly workers and low job requirements,” Pickell says. “Employers are interested in quickly filling positions and conduct screening across a broad population.”
In these industries, he notes, recruiters may put large numbers of candidates though a less stringent recruiting process with minimal criteria and then use screening to narrow the group. In addition, adverse selection may be at work.
“People with problems in their background will go to the jobs and industries where they think employers will be less stringent—for example, retail employers, staffing companies and small employers,” Pickell says.
Legal challenges to screening practices may increase as more employers extend screening to their existing employees. The HireRight survey found that 16 percent of employers now screen their existing employees on an ongoing basis, up from 12 percent in 2008.
“The number of employers screening existing employees is absolutely increasing,” Pickell says. “Previously, it occurred only in specific industries, but now it is definitely becoming more broad-based across all industries.”
Pickell reports a wide variety of practices for screening existing employees, but generally sees employers using a set period of two to three years after the start date, or every three years across the employee base. Ongoing screening for existing employees commonly includes criminality checks and drug testing, but omits education and past employment verifications that were completed at the time of hiring.
Among all employers surveyed by HireRight, 71 percent report that their organization conducts screening to “reduce risk to the organization”; 68 percent say the purpose is to “ensure a safer workplace.” Pickell believes that the risk reduction motivation stems less from the fear of negligent hiring lawsuits and more from direct business concerns.
“The industry talks about negligent hiring because of large-dollar lawsuits, but a far bigger factor for employers is loss prevention, preventing fraud and productivity issues,” he notes.
Scrutiny of screening practices may also grow as new technologies make screening more pervasive and intrusive. A new free iPhone application allows users to conduct background screening on any person if the user inputs basic personal information. New technologies imported from anti-terrorism and police interrogation programs are now available to private-sector employers.
Suspect Detection Systems Ltd., an Israeli security company, is now marketing its Cogito “hostile intent” detection technology to employers.
“Any company that is already using polygraph tests can use this technology,” says CEO Shabtai Shoval. He believes that critical infrastructure and finance companies may adopt the biometric screening technology.
“It’s a new concept and instrument, so the legalities are still unclear,” he says.
What is clear is a growing legislative and regulatory backlash against screening practices that are not tied to demonstrable risk and business necessity. Recruiters who indiscriminately use criminal and credit screenings to cut applicants fuel the increasingly widespread calls for greater regulation and leave their employers open to costly legal challenges.

Grown women fighting is pretty wack, we can start there.. Chrissy Lampkin has proved to the world that she is more than just a ratchet bird for the cameras and paychecks, she’s actually in fact just as much of a pigeon off camera as well…which was brought to light recently as she duked it out at a bar with some random chick over a seat.. Oh, and there were no VH1 cameras in sight. More on this story below…
Love & Hip Hop star Chrissy Lampkin was arrested early this morning for allegedly bloodying up a girl at a New Jersey bar. Edgewater PD tells TMZ … Lampkin was popped around 2:30 AM for aggravated assault and disorderly conduct … we’re told it was bad enough that the victim required hospitalization. She was bloodied and doctors had to stitch up the area above her eye. This wasn’t pure theatrics … cameras were NOT rolling.
As for what started the fight … we’re told Chrissy got pissed that the alleged victim sat on the sofa she was sitting on and accidentally bumped into someone. Sounds like self defense to us. Lampkin was released a few hours later … after her fiance Jim Jones bailed her out. (TMZ)


Ladybugs beat KIPP Tulsa with accurate 4th-quarter free throws
March 5, 2023
After defeating Berryhill on Thursday, the Alva Ladybugs took on KIPP Tulsa Friday in the area tournament at Enid. The Lady Bulldogs are a college prep school new to the OSSAA competition. The teams were very competitive for most of the game with KIPP Tulsa leading 20-16 at halftime. The teams tied at 26 at the end of the third period, but Alva outscored the Lady Bulldogs by nine points in the final quarter to win 45-36.
The victory gave the Ladybugs entry into the final game on Saturday night against Luther with the chance to continue on to state playoffs. The winner of that match advances while the loser is finished for the season.
KIPP Tulsa opened scoring with a trey, but Kylie Adair had back-to-back baskets to gain the 4-3 edge for Alva. The Lady Bulldogs added three points off a free throw and basket, but Ladybug Hadlee Ohm regained the Ladybug advantage at 7-6 with a free throw and basket. Two baskets by KIPP Tulsa gave them a three-point edge, but Carly Argo tied the score with a three-point shot from wing left. A final basket by the Lady Bulldogs put them up 12-10 at the end of the first quarter.
Two baskets, one from a steal, increased KIPP Tulsa's lead but Ladybug Lakin Gaddy narrowed the margin with two baskets. Jaycee Kelln scored, but the Lady Bulldogs had two more baskets to lead 20-16 at halftime.
The Ladybugs began to turn things around in the third quarter, scoring 10 points to six by KIPP Tulsa. Kelln had three successive baskets along with a free throw from Ohm while the Lady Bulldogs managed only one basket and a free throw. With the score tied at 23, Argo sank a three-pointer to give Alva the lead. Heaven Smith stole the ball and made the layup for KIPP Tulsa. She was fouled and made that shot also to tie the game at 26 for the third quarter.
In the final period, Smith made good on two foul shots, but Argo sank her third trey of the game for a 29-28 Alva lead. Gaddy scored on a basket, but Smith countered with an offensive put-back. Morgan Heath added two points for Alva, and Argo made a free throw for a 34-30 Alva lead. Adair made another point from the foul line, after Smith missed her shot for a one-and-one opportunity. Gaddy added two free throws, and Alva led 37-30. Rekhia Bowen made it to the basket twice for KIPP Tulsa but Gaddy added four more points from the free throw line. Alva now led 41-34.
Bowen ran over Adair, knocking her down. Adair missed her foul shots, but Bowen fouled out. Heath blocked Smith's shot at the basket. Adair went to the charity stripe again and hit both. Alva's Heath fouled out, sending Cameryn Hinson to the line but she missed both shots. Gaddy hit shots seven and eight for the quarter from the foul line. Smith managed a last basket, but Alva won 45-36.
The win increased the Ladybug record to 24-4. Gaddy led the Alva scoring with 14 points followed by Adair with 10 and Kelln with eight. Adair had seven points while Ohm had four and Heath two.
Smith led the Lady Bulldogs with 19 followed by Bowen with 14 and Hinson with two. Mikyeasha Wilson had one.

Dogs are notorious for being hardcore carnivores, but they love fresh fruits and veggies too! And you want to incorporate fresh produce to your pooch’s diet to get a boost of nutrients needed to keep your dog healthy! In today’s post, we are listing down some of the best fruits and veggies to add to your pet’s diet:
Here’s a surprise: your pooch love cantaloupe as much as you do! Why not give Fido a slice or two? Cantaloupe is packed with beta-carotene and vitamin A. These nutrients promote better eyesight! Cantaloupe is also loaded with antioxidants that protect your pooch from cancer and cell damage. The vitamin C, B6, folate, niacin, potassium, and fiber in cantaloupe protects the dog from sickness.
Make sure to give your dog a dose of vitamin C, A, and K from green beans. Green beans are good for dogs because they are teeming with essential vitamins, minerals and plant-based omega 3-fatty acids! This vegetable is also loaded with beta-carotene, calcium, iron, riboflavin, thiamin and other nutrients.
Spinach is one of the world’s most nutritious greens. It is packed with a long list of nutrients including iron, copper, calcium and magnesium. It’s a great source of vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, K and E. It’s also loaded with dietary fiber, protein, and choline. All these nutrients will make your dog resistant to sickness and inflammatory diseases. Even better, studies show that dogs that eat spinach regularly have a lower risk of cardiovascular issues and cancer.
An apple a day keeps the vet away! Apple is loaded with vitamin and antioxidants that strengthen your pooch’s immune system. Get your dog to eat apples regularly to stave off common diseases as well as digestive issues.
If your dog is suffering from diarrhea, constipation or other gastrointestinal issues, we strongly recommend feeding the animal with cooked pumpkin. Just steam squares of pumpkin and then mash them into a paste. Pumpkin is packed with fiber, vitamin A, beta-carotene, and antioxidants. Because it is served bland, the vegetable will settle your pooch’s stomach, easing cramping and diarrhea.
Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamin A, B, C and E. They are also a rich source of folate, potassium, copper, thiamine, calcium, and iron. Because sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, you can simply mash slices of steamed sweet potatoes and serve it to your pet as a quick snack!
Blueberries are just as good to dogs as they are to human beings. Blueberries are a rich source of resveratrol. This powerful antioxidant protects from heart disease and cancer. This fruit is also packed with another antioxidant, tannins. Tannins protect from urinary tract infections and free radical damage. Blueberry is also high in vitamin C and fiber.
Give your dog a slice of watermelon especially on a hot summer afternoon! Apart from cooling the dog down, watermelon is a great source of vitamin A, B6, and C. It’s also packed with thiamin and fiber that ensures proper digestion.

Really what can go wrong? The Obama administration tacit approval of the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak was championed as “the New democratic process” in the Middle East.
From the Dryer Report….Did you vote for Barack Obama? Well if you did that’s all the thanks you’ll be getting from the Obama Campaign.
Now how could this be…. I mean President Obama told us that things are getting better and the Nation is in a “state of recovery” and the jobless numbers are going down.
I know it has been four years of nearly unbearable torment from the Obama administration. Early in the year 2008 the Obama pharmaceutical department tried to offer medicine designed to easily accept the “Hope and Change” mantra, something akin to the “red pill” in the Matrix movie.
I just finished watching the last of the Presidential Debates for 2012 and I noticed one thing. I noticed that President Obama’s playlist is very limited. He has literally been repeating himself for almost 5 years now.

Eh-heh... I don't think it'd be too good to have a hunny in your bed when you're sick. ;; He/she will probably catch the fever, and you'll keep giving it to each other. XD
Eucalyptus...? Really? Isn't that... kinda poisonous to humans? Or did I remember wrong? ; *doesn't know anything about herbs* AKA, if I make an eucalyptus potion the next time I get sick, will that cure me or kill me? _~
Oh, I want disguised books... XD

Aw. _ Good job, Zelos! XD I guess he CAN be a hard worker when he wants to be...
| ryder77 chapter 1 . 11/2/2004
I liked the entire trilogy.
The characters are very in-character, and it's clear that you gave a lot of thought on how the characters relate to the others. Good job!
I refuse, however, to believe that it will STAY a trilogy. More! More! MORE!
| VilyaSage chapter 1 . 11/2/2004
AW! What a cute little story! Bit by bit you other authors are bringing back my respect for Zelos...
It was really great, though. Everyone was in-character and it was FUN! Poor Zelos, alone against the ocean...though I'd still be scared of him in the kitchen. Hehe.
Great job-there's a prequel-ish to this? I should find it! ONWARD!
Write more great things like this soon!
| WhitterZ chapter 1 . 11/2/2004
AW! - I love these stories! Are you sure you want to stop now! They're so sweet and very rarely is there a story with my three favorite guys where they aren't gay-birds or something stupid! I'd really like to read more of these! They're so adorable! -

2016 Lincoln MKZ
The MKZ is a mid –size luxury four-door sedan produced by Ford’s luxury division Lincoln. This car originally came in August 2005 and it was the company’s first model of new MK series. Later came models like MKX, MKS, MKT etc. First generation was produced until 2012 and it was replaced by redesigned MKZ which came with delay of several months in March 2013 (it was planned to come it late 2012). This car is also available as hybrid from 2010 and it is also important to mention that it was the first hybrid model with the same price as standard gasoline model in North America. Since 2008, this mid-size luxury sedan is the brand’s best-selling model.
2016 Lincoln MKZ specs
New model came two years ago, so we don’t expect major changes for 2016 Lincoln MKZ. It will use the same CD4 platform that is also used for new Ford Fusion. Beside platform, there are many other mechanical parts that are share with Fusion so practically these two models are related closely. Outside look will remain pretty much unchanged, based on the 2012 Concept. Only possible changes could be some new color options and other minor tweaks. Interior of the 2016 Lincoln MKZ will carry on in the same style, but we expect to see some additional standard features, just it was case with rearview on the 2015 year model. This luxury sedan is also equipped with many safety features. Some of them are parking assist, cruise control, lane departure system etc.
2016 Lincoln MKZ engine
It is expected that 2016 MKZ will carry on with the same engines as current model. Petrol variants will be 3.7 liter Duratec V6 with 300 horses and 2.0 liter inline-four EcoBoost that outputs 240 horses. Both engines are paired with 6-speed automatic transmission and available in FWD and AWD configurations. The 2016 Lincoln MKZ will be also available in hybrid variant, which will be powered by the same system as current model. This system is based on the same 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine and also adds some electric motor. This hybrid model has the same price as petrol unit.
2016 Lincoln MKZ release date and price
It is expected that 2016 Lincoln MKZ will come late this year. Price should remain in the same range, so base model will probably go around 35.000 dollars, while highest trims could go up to 50.000 dollars.

A 2012 grad, Sebastián Molano, with whom I’ve occasionally been in contact over the past two-plus years, recently wrote to tell me about a new project he has started. I’m going to let him introduce it.
In order to contribute to the current struggle for gender equality, last January I created Defying Gender Roles. This is an initiative that seeks to challenge harmful gender roles by creating a space to share thoughts and views about the nuances of being men and women today, and through it we aim to foster and promote diversity.
Last month, we launched our Facebook group and we have over 800 followers. With this group we seek:
- To bring attention to the harmful gender roles that are part of our daily life and to how they affect our ability to be who we want to be.
- To “de-normalize” practices that perpetuate gender inequality and reinforce harmful traditional gender roles.
In this project, I have the support, ideas, and energy of five Fletcher alums: Joya Taft-Dick F11, Megan Rounseville F12, Sean Lyngaas F12, Amos Irwin F12, and Ana García F13.
I was invited recently to give a TEDx Talk at Colby College, where I spoke about what it means to be a man today and the struggle for achieving gender equality. (A link to the talk should be available soon.)
With International Women’s Day coming on Sunday, March 8, I’m happy to be able to point to work that Fletcher grads are doing on behalf of gender equality.

Netflix and other streaming services have revolutionised the way we watch our favourite shows, but a senior figure at Sky reckons there is still demand for traditional TV viewing.
The broadcaster's group director of strategy Mai Fyfield claims that Netflix's data-driven commissioning is taking human involvement out of the equation, and insists that on-demand isn't for everyone.
"Nobody knows what they want until someone puts it in front of them. It's more of an editorial and creative process," CNET quotes her as saying.
"We have data coming out of our ears, but we don't use a lot of it."
Fyfield also questioned why Netflix does not disclose specific viewing figures for its original commissions, such as Marco Polo.
She added: "I don't know if anybody is watching Marco Polo, do you? Nobody knows."
Netflix's commissioning strategy has yielded critically-acclaimed shows like House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, and its latest hit Daredevil, but Fyfield is convinced that "linear broadcasting" is here to stay.

The inner-west is alive with the sound of camp this Mardi Gras, and the all-women show Lemon Delicious is no exception.
Now in its fourth year, Lemon Delicious is a show within a show, part story of a breakdown tour to Dubbo, part song and dance extravaganza.
It’s basically fun and it’s a celebration of chickdom, director Louise Fischer says.
The performers are a mix of singers and actors who can really sell a song, Fischer says.
They perform group numbers, solos, duets and trios, and come complete with choreography clich?
We start with a great big version of The Real Thing, Fischer says.
During the show we go from Let Me Entertain You from Gypsy to Robbie Williams’s Let Us Entertain You.
We have a three-part a cappella version of Kylie’s I Believe In You and a four-part harmony of Pretty Woman. It’s a real mixed bag.
As is the audience, she says.
We get such a mixture of people. People come because it’s Mardi Gras, but because we’re in Newtown we also get the grandparents and everyone from the area, and they all love it.
We’re not offensive. We’re not pushing any political boundaries, so we appeal to a really wide range of people.
Lemon Delicious is on at @Newtown, 52 Enmore Rd, Newtown, on Wednesday 23 February from 8pm. Tickets are $25 at the door.
