Braintree Scanner Tales: Man robbed of iPhones in South Shore Plaza parking lot, Man fatally killed in motorcycle crash
Man robbed of iPhones in Plaza parking lot
Police are investigating reports that a man was robbed outside the South Shore Plaza.
According to police, the man had just purchased four cases of iPhones - about 100 phones - from the Apple store at the South Shore Plaza and went to put them in his car, which was parked between Sears and Macy’s.
Police said that the victim was an employee of a New York-based company that purchases phones to ship overseas.
While the man was putting the cases into his car, three men allegedly approached him and grabbed two of the cases – approximately 50 phones - that were still on the ground behind his car.
The suspects then left with the phones.
The victim described the suspects as wearing dark colored clothes. One was heavy set, one was medium build, and one was thin, and all were between 25- to 30-years-old.
The phones were valued at just under $700 a piece, making the total loss almost $35,000.
Police are investigating the incident.
Man killed in motorcycle crash
A 26-year-old man has died after allegedly losing control of his motorcycle and crashing in Braintree.
According to police, Clovis Dossantos, a 26-year-old Braintree resident, was heading south on Washington Street near Wampatuck Road on Sunday when he lost control of the bike.
Dossantos was transported to South Shore Hospital with serious injuries shortly after 8 p.m., and later pronounced dead.
"It is my understanding that his family lives in Brazil and he has no family in this area," said Braintree Police Chief Russ Jenkins.
According to police, witnesses said speed seemed to be a factor in the accident.
The Traffic Division is investigating the accident.

More news about: Bethany
Oct 03, 2012
Coming off its closest loss of the year and second straight setback by four points or less, the Bethany College football team will try to make it a happy Homecoming when it hosts Geneva at Bison Stadium in a 2 p.m. kickoff Saturday.
The Bison saw their record dip to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the PAC with a 28-26 heart-breaking loss at Washington & Jefferson. It was the closest game between the long-time rivals since a 14-12 BC win in 1961. Bethany raced out to a 20-7 halftime lead, only to see the Presidents score three straight touchdowns in the second half. The Bison moved within two points on a 21-yard touchdown pass from junior QB Matt Grimard to freshman WR Eric Blinn with 54 seconds to play, but the two-point conversion attempt failed and W&J managed to hang on for the victory.
Grimard finished the night with 234 passing yards and two touchdowns, while the Bison defense was paced by senior linebacker Kyle Arrington with 12 tackles, but the loss was a tough one to take for the Bison program and head coach Tim Weaver.
"Last week is hard to talk about," said Weaver. "We played some of the best football we have in our time here in all three phases. The players gave a great effort and executed at a high level. I thought the coordinators came up with a great game plan. We came up one play short. We have to figure out how to make that one play at the end, whether it's a creative call by a coach, one extra step by a player or a unit stepping up to make a play happen."
Another highlight to the game was the play of sophomore running back Phil Acrie. He carried 18 times for a career-high 94 yards and scored on a 19-yard touchdown gallop in the first half, while also pulling in two receptions for 30 yards. The running back position was a question mark coming into the year due to the inexperience of those returning, but with Acrie, who has rushed for 210 yards and two TDs in four games, and sophomore Brandon Hill, who has earned 12 carries, Weaver says the Bison are pleased with their depth.
"We thought when we recruited Phil, we were getting a special talent," said Weaver. "He showed it last year, but got hurt two or three separate times and was never able to compete for the back-up job because of his health. He had a good spring and then came into camp and got hurt again. But now he's healthy, showing his ability and we think he has a chance to be an all-conference back.
"Brandon has also really developed," said Weaver. "We knew he was really fast. We weren't sure what kind of football player we were getting, but now we feel real good about him too. Brandon is a good blocker, which is a place Phil can improve, and both can catch it. We really like our running back situation going forward."
Bethany also enjoyed a big week from freshman kicker Justin Evans. In addition to drilling field goals of 29 and 39 yards to help propel BC to its halftime lead, five of his six kickoffs went inside the W&J 10-yard line, with the lone exception being an onside attempt at the end. With Evans' work so far, that has freed up sophomore Stephen Amic, who handled both kicking jobs last fall, to just focus on punting and he was excellent on Saturday too, averaging 42.3 yards on five punts with a long of 63. Having those kinds of weapons on special teams is a big help in game planning for the Bison.
"It changes a ton of stuff," said Weaver. "When you feel really good about kickoffs going inside the five-yard line and the other teams' average starting field position is inside the 35, it makes them much easier to defend. I think it raises the whole teams' confidence when you get inside the red zone and knowing if we stall out, we're still going to get three points. Then the offense can just play and not force things, which I think is why we've been so effective at scoring touchdowns inside the red zone because not every play is do-or-die.
"And a hidden benefit to Justin's development is that it's allowed Stephen to relax," said Weaver. "Now he can just focus on punting and as he showed Saturday, he can be one of the best punters in the conference. Now we have two really good specialists who can help us in field position and the red zone."
The Bison may need to focus on the field position battle on Saturday against a Geneva team (1-3, 1-1) that ranks first in the PAC in scoring (31.0) and total offense (433.5). The Golden Tornadoes picked up their first win of the season last Saturday by surprising Thomas More 50-48 in a four-overtime thriller. Quarterback Rocco Colavecchia, who is this week's PAC Offensive Player of the Week, scored two touchdowns in the final 2:30 of regulation to tie the game and then scored twice more in OT, including the game-winning five-yard TD run in the final extra period.
Geneva will use two quarterbacks in the game Saturday and can employ two completely different looks. Colavecchia is the stronger runner of the two, as he's rushed for 268 yards and six touchdowns, but Zack Hayward is leading the PAC with 266 passing yards per game, as well as nine touchdowns. It's been an inconsistent season for the GTs offensively, as they scored 50 against Thomas More and 53 in a loss to Frostburg State, but were held to 14 in an OT defeat at Thiel and seven in a loss at #18 Hobart. Although it won't be easy, Weaver is hoping his team can replicate the success Thiel and Hobart found.
"Well, you have to give Hobart and Thiel credit because they are very good on defense," said Weaver. "But Geneva is similar to Grove City in that they have two offensive philosophies they can use in a game. And when they get in a groove with one of them, they can be hard to stop. Last week against Thomas More, they spread it out and by the end, they were throwing it and catching it and when they did sneak a run in, it went for big yards.
"For us this week, we need to keep it simple as we can," said Weaver. "We need to have a good handle on what to expect when they spread it out and on their misdirections when they go with bigger sets."
The Geneva defense has been similar to the offense. Frostburg rang up 56 points in a season-opening win and Thomas More was able to post 48, but the GTs were solid in the 21-14 loss to Thiel, with the winning touchdown coming on a busted field goal attempt, and the 28-7 defeat to Hobart. Linebacker Dillon Goodell is the PAC leader with 43 tackles in four games, including five for loss, and safety Brett Hutira is tied for second with 39 stops.
"Geneva is committed to what they do on defense," said Weaver. "They know it, understand it and execute it. They take a lot of things away on their alignment. We'll have to make plays in the passing game to try to loosen them up. Then we can establish some balance, get the ball in Phil's hands and let Matt run a few."
Saturday marks the midway point of the season and a disappointing start can begin to get turned around if the Bison can pick up a victory in front of a Homecoming crowd. But for that to happen, Weaver says they must focus on things like not turning the ball over and not worrying about their record or the score and just take care of their assignments.
"First key for Saturday is win the turnover battle," said Weaver. "We also need to be the better team on third down. Not only convert them on offense, but stop them to get them off the field and keep their offense off the field. And the team needs to make sure we don't press. We've done a good job with that so far.
"There is a difference between our 0-4 and other 0-4 teams who are getting blown out every week and there is no hope," said Weaver. "We've had a chance to win every game in the fourth quarter. It's frustrating we haven't, but it shows we are a good football team. We've been telling the team to not focus on the score, but focus on the little things needed to win and the score will take care of itself."

I LOVE metaphors – and so do my audiences. In my seminars, I use a giraffe and a lizard as metaphors for two different levels of thought that influence communication. I use a giraffe to represent rising above the mud of the moment, and speaking from an elevated perspective. I use a lizard to represent the reptilian, reactive self, that leads you to speak from a narrow perspective. They are useful reminders of the competing forces inside of us all that influence the way we choose our words and communicate
I call the giraffe Pippi and the lizard Izzie.
Do you ever want to be nice and nasty at the same time? Do you ever want to simultaneously affirm and affront someone? If so, do you wonder why, and perhaps even question your own sanity? Those are the two competing influences. There’s a story I read on the internet that uses a different metaphor to
The Two Wolves
An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”
“One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
“The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”
“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute and then one child asked “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”
The old Cherokee simply replied… “The one you feed.”
What Do You Feed?
Izzie represents the first wolf in the story. Pippi is the second wolf.
Izzie speaks in Poison Phrases. Pippi speaks in PowerPhrases.
Izzie will drop off when you stop feeding fear, anger, envy and the other emotions of the first wolf. Pippi will grow when you feed joy, peace, love, hope and the other emotions of the second wolf.
Every single thought you have feeds one mindset or another.
How Do You Feed Pippi?
The Cherokee elder was wise indeed to say that the part of yourself you feed grows stronger in your life. John Nash discovered that his life went from disaster to success when he went on a ‘mental diet’ and chose which perceptions to pay attention to. (A Beautiful Mind).You too can enhance Pippi and diminish Izzie by going on a “mental diet.”
To diminish Izzie’s role in your life,
1) Observe your Izzie thoughts rather than indulging or fighting them. The act of detached observation stimulates higher functioning.
2) Avoid Izzie conversations such as participating in gossip or negativity. Instead, be a detached observer of Izzie behavior in others. For example, if you watch reality shows, watch from a perspective of whether contestants are operating from an Izzie or Pippi mindset.
3) Become aware of Poison Phrases and avoid using them.
To feed Pippi,
1) Develop a series of statements to repeat to yourself and questions to ask yourself to elevate your thinking. For example, when going through an emotionally challenging time that triggered my Izzie, I would ask myself if I was safe in the moment. Of course, I always was, and this calmed me.
2) Listen to uplifting materials and read uplifting books.
3) Practice elevating the tone of conversations with PowerPhrases. It reinforces Pippi when your words elevate others.
Diminishing Izzie and feeding Pippi won’t mean that you will never want to be nice and nasty at the same time. It won’t mean that you won’t ever want to both affirm and affront someone. What it will mean is that when you do, you will be increasingly able to elevate your perspective and therefore your word choice. That will make all the difference, not just for those around you. It will make all the difference for you.

Update #1 - Real Estate on the Blockchain
In it he talks about how NFTs can be used to fractionalize real estate. Super interesting read that would be worth anyone's time who is interested in real estate or Blockchain as a whole:
Yes, it is possible to create a company that uses blockchain technology to manage real estate assets as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). In fact, there are already some companies that are using blockchain and NFTs for real estate management and transactions. By using blockchain technology and smart contracts, the ownership and transfer of these NFTs can be securely and transparently managed. This can potentially simplify the process of real estate transactions, reduce transaction costs, and increase liquidity in the real estate market. However, it is important to note that implementing blockchain and NFTs in real estate comes with its own set of challenges and regulatory considerations, such as the legal status and recognition of NFTs in different jurisdictions, the need for compliance with know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and the potential risks associated with smart contract vulnerabilities. Overall, the use of blockchain and NFTs in real estate management and transactions is an emerging field that has the potential to offer benefits and new opportunities for investors and participants in the real estate market.
Update #2 - How to Invest in Real Estate
In this article there are 5 basic ways outlined to get started with real estate investing:
If you've ever had a landlord, you probably don't dream of being one: Fielding calls about oversize bugs and overflowing toilets doesn't seem like the most glamorous job. But done right, real estate investing can be lucrative — even now that we've shifted to an environment of higher interest rates. Investing in real estate can also help diversify your existing investment portfolio and be an additional income stream. And many of the best real estate investments don't require showing up at a tenant's every beck and call. The trouble is that many new investors don't know where or how to invest in real estate. Here are some of the best ways to make money in real estate, ranging from low maintenance to high.
Update #3 - How AI Will Transform the Real Estate Market
AI is the talk of the town now-a-days in almost every industry. But we don't always think about how it will transform the real estate industry:
As a multimillionaire property investor and trainer, I look ahead at future trends in the real estate industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are starting to gain prominence in many parts of the economy and have the potential to transform property investment. While no one can know what the future holds, we can look at current trends and where they might be heading. Understanding these possibilities will set landlords, estate agents and investors up for success in this ever-changing landscape. Let's look at three ways AI could impact property investment for the better and the potential risks of AI in real estate.
Update #4 - Home Builder Sentiment in Feburary - Biggest Gain in a Decade
As the real estate market is shifting drastically over the past few months, home builder sentiment has gone up immensely.
America's homebuilders are growing more bullish as buyer demand picks up, driven in part by slightly lower mortgage rates. Homebuilder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in February rose 7 points to 42, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. This is the highest reading since September and the largest monthly gain since June 2013. Anything below 50 is considered negative, but sentiment had fallen to 31 in December. The index stood at 81 in February of last year, before mortgage rates began to rise. Builders say affordability is improving, as mortgage rates fall back from their highs of last fall and start to settle in a narrow range. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage had peaked at 7.37% last October, according to Mortgage News Daily but spent much of January in the low 6% range. Rates have moved up slightly in the past two weeks to the mid-6% range.
Update #5 - Mortgage Rates on the Rise is a Sign of Strong Economic Growth
Maybe it is just silver lining for those looking to purchase a home, but this article outlines how mortgage rates on the rise is a sign of strong economic growth:
Mortgage rates are inching up, with the 30-year fixed-rate loan increasing to a 6.5% average this week, Freddie Mac reports. Homeownership remains attainable for Americans who can afford a 20% down payment and a monthly mortgage payment of $1,880 on a median-priced home, says Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of real estate research at the National Association of REALTORS®. “The economy continues to show strength, and interest rates are repricing to account for the stronger than expected growth, tight labor market and the threat of sticky inflation,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist. “Our research shows that rate dispersion increases as mortgage rates trend up. This means home buyers can potentially save $600 to $1,200 annually by taking the time to shop among lenders to find a better rate.” Freddie Mac reported the following national averages in mortgage rates for the week ending Feb. 23: 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 6.50%, rising from last week's 6.32% average. Last year at this time, 30-year rates averaged 3.89%. 15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 5.76%, increasing from last week's 5.51% average. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 3.14%.
Update #6 - High Inflation is Pushing Mortgage Rates Up
How does high inflation incrase mortgage rates? Find on in this article:
Mortgage rates jumped this week, driven up by a record number of jobs and higher-than-expected inflation, says Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of real estate research for the National Association of REALTORS®. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.32%, up from 6.12% last week, according to Freddie Mac. While mortgage rates may see temporary increases in the coming weeks, they are largely predicted to stabilize and remain below their most recent peak of 7.08%, which was set in mid-November 2022. “Mortgage rates could linger at around 6.5% for a few more months before heading below 6% by summer—and maybe even 5.5% by the end of the year,” says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. Once mortgage rates dip further, expect more home buyers to return to the housing market, Yun predicts. But he warns that with inventory levels still stubbornly low, an influx of buyers looking to take advantage of falling rates could set off “another revival of multiple bidding.”

How do you intend to connect your computer to the Arduino?
Again many choices, such as serial, ethernet even optic fibre if you wish.
What operating system are you using on your computer, OSX, Linux or that other one which will remain nameless?
This may have some impact on determining how and what you use on the computer side.
Do you intend to program the software for your computer, say in some C stye or Java language, or using processing, google if you wish.
Does the program on the computer need to be time based of how does it operate.
Will the Arduino need to respond back to your program on the computer for any reason?
Do you really need the computer to control the Arduino, is there another way?
Alternatively, if you need the computer, do you really need an Arduino, there are other options too?
You see, knowing more specifically the criteria of your needs allows a faster and better response.

The United States has dismissed as "hollow" the offer of humanitarian aid for superstorm victims from Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafeez Muhammad Saeed, the 2008 Mumbai attacks mastermind and for whom the US has offered a bounty of $10 million.
"As you all well know, Saeed is believed to be behind organising the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack in which 166 people were killed, including six Americans. That is why he is actually now the subject of a Rewards for Justice programme," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.
"Furthermore, both the United States and the United Nations has designated his organisation, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a terrorist organisation," he said.
"So while we have great respect, obviously, for the Islamic tradition of social assistance to those who are in need, no matter where they might be, this particular offer strikes us as very hollow," Toner said in response to a question on the offer of humanitarian assistance from Saeed for the victims of the hurricane Sandy.
On Tuesday, Hafiz Saeed said his organisation was ready to help Americans affected by the superstorm Sandy.
"We are ready to send food items, medicines and doctors to the US for the people affected by the storm," Saeed has said.
Saeed was placed under house arrest for less than six months after the Mumbai attacks, largely due to pressure from the world community. He was freed in 2009 on the orders of the Lahore high court.


text: ||The grazing activity by specific marine organisms represents a growing threat to the survival of many scleractinian species. For example, the recent proliferation of the corallivorous gastropod Drupella now constitutes a critical case in all South-East Asian waters. If the damaging effects caused by this marine snail on coral polyps are relatively well known, the indirect incidence of predation on coral microbial associates is still obscure and might also potentially impair coral health. In this study, we compared the main ecological traits of coral-associated bacterial and viral communities living in the mucus layer of Acropora formosa and Acropora millepora, of healthy and predated individuals (i.e., colonized by Drupella rugosa), in the Bay of Van Phong (Vietnam). Our results show a substantial impact of the gastropod on a variety of microbiological markers. Colonized corals harbored much more abundant and active epibiotic bacteria whose community composition shifted toward more pathogenic taxa (belonging to the Vibrionales, Clostridiales, Campylobacterales, and Alteromonadales orders), together with their specific phages. Viral epibionts were also greatly influenced by Drupella corallivory with spectacular modifications in their concentrations, life strategies, genotype richness, and diversity. Novel and abundant circular Rep-encoding ssDNA viruses (CRESS-DNA viruses) were detected and characterized in grazed corals and we propose that their occurrence may serve as indicator of the coral health status. Finally, our results reveal that corallivory can cause severe dysbiosis by altering virus-bacteria interactions in the mucus layer, and ultimately favoring the development of local opportunistic infections.

IRA Gunmen Shoot Youth To Death; Police Deny He Was Soldier or Officer
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) _ Irish Republican Army gunmen today shot to death a teen-ager who they claimed was a police officer, but police said the youth had no connection with security forces.
Gary Smith, 19, had parked his car and was about to attend classes at a technical college near the predominantly Roman Catholic Falls Road area of Belfast when two hooded gunmen approached him.
Police said the pair fired at point-blank range, shooting Smith in the head and killing him instantly. The gunmen then fled in a van driven by a third person. It was found abandoned a short time later.
The van had been stolen from a nearby family who were held hostage overnight by the gunmen, said police.
The IRA claimed in a statement sent to a local news agency that the teen- ager was a member of the Protestant-dominated Royal Ulster Constabulary police force.
But a constabulary spokesman, who declined to be identified, said the youth was not a policeman and had no connection with any security force in the province.
He was the 33rd person to die in sectarian bloodshed in Northern Ireland this year, and the 2,443th known to have been killed since violence flared in 1969.
The mostly Catholic IRA has been waging a guerrilla war against British rule in predominantly Protestant Northern Ireland, seeking to unite the province with majority-Catholic Ireland under a socialist government.
The IRA is illegal on both sides of the border.
The police spokesman said it was the second case of mistaken identity this month.
On May 3, a County Down farmer, Billy Heenan, was shot to death in front of his 13-year-old son on his isolated farm. An IRA statement said he was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. The constabulary said Heenan was never a full-time policeman, although 20 years ago he was a member of the Ulster Special Constabulary, a police reserve unit widely regarded by Catholics as a private Protestant army. That unit was dismantled in 1970.
Meanwhile, doctors were fighting to save the life of a British army soldier who, according to police, shot himself in the head after he was arrested for questioning after a traffic accident on the ouskirts of Londonderry, Northern Ireland’s second-largest city.
Police said the 27-year-old soldier - whose name was not disclosed - was arrested for questioning at 1 a.m.
Moments after he was driven in a police car into the courtyard of the city’s police headquarters, he pulled out a handgun and shot himself, a spokesman said.
A spokesman at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry said the soldier, a member of the locally recruited Ulster Defense Regiment of the British army, was in ″very critical condition.″


Firmware update process
The easiest way to update instrument firmware is online:
- Provide the instrument with an Internet connection using Wi-Fi or Ethernet
- Access update screen (System settings > Update)
- The instrument will detect the latest firmware version, follow on-screen prompts to download and install the update
Updating an offline instrument is accomplished with the following steps:
- Click on the desired version number below. This is a link to the .lsfw firmware update file
- Copy or save the .lsfw file onto the root directory of a USB flash drive. Make sure it is the only .lsfw file in that location
- Plug the flash drive into the USB-C port on the back of the instrument, if you don't have a newer flash drive with a USB-C connection, use the adapter that was supplied with the instrument
- Restart the instrument to be given the option to perform a firmware update.
- Disconnect the USB flash drive once the update is complete
F71/F41 firmware changelog
- Removed an unnecessary software module that caused errors to be displayed periodically
- Made a change to USB connection parameters, adding RTS/CTS flow control to make buffered data streaming more robust. PLEASE NOTE: This change requires an OS update in addition to these regular firmware updates. Please contact Lake Shore Service if you are updating to this firware for assistance.
Remaining known bugs
- The screen sometimes displays a frozen grey screen after several days of being powered on. This issue is actively being investigated. Until a solution is found, this issue can be cleared by power cycling the instrument. Either by disconnecting the unit from power, or holding the power button down for 5 or more seconds to fully turn the instrument off.
- When using
FETCh:BUFFer:* the time interval between measurmemnts is sometimes different to the specificed averaging window. For example, an averaging window of 100 ms results in a consistent 100 ms spacing between reported measurements. Occasssionaly, a measurement spacing of 110 ms may appear.
- When collecting data using the
FETCh:BUFFer:* command, loss of resolution is possible when measuring very small DC fields in units of tesla. Workaround for now is to measure in gauss. Will be corrected in future version by changing to scientific notation.
- Closed-loop field control commands, settings and UI. Ready for upcoming field control option card hardware
- Probe high frequency compensation - providing more accurate measurement of high-frequency fields
- Buffered data streaming - for continuous acquisition of timestamped readings using SCPI commands
- New drivers: LabVIEW and IVI
- Layout of the main menu drawer improved
- Moved temperature reporting from top taskbar to a new card on the home screen to avoid unresponsiveness of other taskbar elements
- Other general UI improvements
- Improved accuracy of frequency detection in AC and HF mode
- In AC Mode, RMS readings sometimes spiked when DC offsets were high
- Improved error notifications
- General program stability improvements reducing the chance of the instrument having to recover itself
- Changing the Digital I/O functions using SCPI commands were not replicated on the UI

Parish Council News
To increase the supply of affordable housing, the government has introduced a quote scheme for local councils. Richmondshire is required to identify areas where housing could be provided. It has to provide 250 houses each year.
At this early stage, some possible areas have been identified. If any are built in Constable Burton, two areas have been identified (see map). In a village of our size it would involve a maximum of five houses.
We emphasise that these plans are at an early stage. No more is likely to happen for some time. Constable Burton Estate will be applying for a quota in the summer. They favour the area to the west of the village when pedestrian access would be made onto the A684 and a path to the bus stop.

As we digest the debt debacle, one important fact seems to be lost on most Americans — Congress has decided to overlook fixing unemployment in order to tackle spending. Unfortunately, that will only create more unemployment.
Why legislators allowed the conversation to change from job creation to debt busting is beyond me. Conspiracy theorists suggest it’s because the GOP has no interest in mending the economy, when a double-dip recession during primary season can energize Republican presidential campaigns. I’d like to believe that even the most stubborn legislators aren’t evil — just misinformed or incapable of viewing the big economic picture.
Whatever the motivations in Washington, the truth of the matter is that the biggest job destroyer in 2011 has been the government. This is not bluster or scare tactics, but an honest fact based on the respected analysis of outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. Read

@Spartacus as the fellows told you before me, the main problem on loading the N64 games could be the extension. If the files are zipped, unzip them and throw those files into the proper folder. The N64 extension should .n64 .v64 or .z64. Most of the games should work properly depending on the configuration and your raspberry model. I always had problems with Killer Instinct since I'm not able to find a good file for that game. But for the others, I had no problem at all.
Concerning the MAME incident, as @herb_fargus stated, the problem should reside on the romset you have. MAME has many different versions and a single game could work fine in one oh those versions but could not work in other. I don't remember but I guess most of the working games are in the romset 1.38

President Bush announced an alternative energy initiative during last night’s State of the Union address that could significantly increase research grants at the University.
The cornerstone of the proposal is a 22-percent boost in clean-energy research funding for the Department of Energy.
Bush characterized Americans’ oil consumption habits as an addiction that could be curbed through investment in new and existing technologies, including zero-emission coal, solar and wind power and nuclear energy.
University scientists have been beneficiaries of substantial government research grants in the sciences, and University officials had been lobbying for an initiative like the one proposed. Cynthia Wilbanks, University vice president for government relations, said she is confident that if Bush’s proposal comes to fruition, University researchers will benefit.
“I think there’s a great deal of enthusiasm for a renewed focus on the promise of new investment in physical sciences (and) energy – some of the basic R&D support that the President announced tonight,” Wilbanks said.
Over the last 18 months, University President Mary Sue Coleman has served on a nationwide council that sought more White House support for federal research and development funding at higher education institutions.
Each year the University receives more than $17 million in grants from the Department of Energy, representing 2.3 percent of total research funding at the University. Bush will likely include the proposal in the 2007 federal budget next week..
During the 51-minute speech, Bush split his remarks evenly between foreign policy and domestic issues.
Calling this one of the most “consequential periods in history,” Bush offered a vision for winning the war in Iraq and used clear, decisive language aimed at Iran.
“We are on the offensive in Iraq with a clear plan for victory,” he said.
Bush framed his Iraq strategy with a three-pronged approach designed to build an inclusive government, reconstruct the economy and train Iraqi troops.
“There is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure,” he said. “Hindsight alone is not wisdom and second-guessing is not a strategy.”
Bush also chastised what he described as a small clique of Islamic radicals holding the people of Iran hostage. The president demanded that the regime abandon its nuclear ambitions, discontinue its support of terrorists and work toward democratic freedom.
On the domestic front, the president revealed a broad range of modest policy initiatives, including a bipartisan commission to study the rising costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; a plan to make temporary tax cuts permanent; and a ban on human cloning.
“He laid out a very good plan for the country and showed a tremendous amount of direction,” College Republicans chair John Kelly said.
Kelly characterized the initiatives as concrete steps in the right direction.
Gov. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who responded on behalf of the Democrats after the speech, repeated the phrase “there is a better way” numerous times while challenging the President’s leadership on a broad spectrum of political issues.
“Our federal government should serve the American people, but that mission is frustrated by this administration’s poor choices and bad management,” Kaine said. “Families in the Gulf Coast see that as they wait to rebuild their lives.”
Political Science Prof. Lawrence Greene questioned Bush’s motives.
“He has never shown any interest in those initiatives before. This is an election year and he does not want to be a lame duck,” Greene said.
Jamie Ruth, vice-chair of the College Democrats, liked some of the domestic proposals, such as reducing dependency on foreign oil, but doubted Bush’s sincerity.
“The words are good, but I don’t know if he can put the money where his mouth is,” Ruth said.
Many pundits billed this speech as a crossroads for Bush, arguing he needed a strong performance to reverse growing public disapproval. If he is unsuccessful, commentators said, he will have a difficult time passing his proposed legislation.
Bush began the year with an approval rating of 52 percent and ended the year at 41 percent, according to FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll data. He is scheduled to travel to Minnesota, New Mexico, Tennessee and Texas this week to rally support for his newly minted proposals.
In a relatively light moment during the address, Bush made reference to his age as he transitioned from foreign policy to health care reform.
“This year the first of about 78 million baby boomers turn 60, including two of my dad’s favorite people: Me and President Clinton.”
Sen. Hilary Clinton (D-N.Y.) managed an ambivalent – if not cold – grin after the comment. About a minute later, Bush was abruptly cut off by a thunderous applause from the Democratic side of the aisle when he said that Congress did not enact his Social Security proposal last year. Clinton’s awkward grin was quickly replaced with a laugh and a smile. Bush waited about 15 seconds before the Democrats suspended their outburst amid a chorus of presumably Republican boos.

If you want ask for a favor, ask for it from a person’s right side. Italian researchers have found that people respond more favorably to requests made to the right ear. They believe this is true because of the way the human brain is wired, allowing the right ear to have dominance for listening to verbal stimuli.
As part of this research, scientists visited a noisy nightclub and asked more than 170 people for cigarettes. They obtained significantly more smokes when they spoke into the clubbers’ right ear compared to requests made to those who listened with their left.
According to the researchers, their studies confirm a right ear advantage for verbal communication because this ear is hooked into the left side of the brain. It is that hemisphere that is primarily responsible for interpreting language.

I am trying to book for a hotel in London in Euston/st pancras or bloomsbury area. I would like to know which sites offer good deals, discounted prices for a stay of over a week. I always use booking.com which seems to have same price as the hotel websites. Any other sites out there that can offer better deals? thanks
Also I always make it a point to take a daytrip from London. I've done Bath, Oxford, and stratford-upon-avon. Loved Oxford best among these. This time I am considering Cambridge or Edinburgh. (I don't care about the train ride being 4 hours long). I don't want to spend a night there though. I would love your opinion on the matter.

A control store is the part of a CPU's control unit that stores the CPU's microprogram. It is usually accessed by a microsequencer. A control store implementation whose contents are unalterable is known as a Read Only Memory (ROM) or Read Only Storage (ROS); one whose contents are alterable is known as a Writable Control Store (WCS).
Early control stores were implemented as a diode-array accessed via address decoders, a form of read-only memory. This tradition dates back to the program timing matrix on the MIT Whirlwind, first described in 1947. Modern VLSI processors instead use matrices of field-effect transistors to build the ROM and/or PLA structures used to control the processor as well as its internal sequencer in a microcoded implementation. IBM System/360 used a variety of techniques: CCROS (Card Capacitor Read-Only Storage) on the Model 30, TROS (Transformer Read-Only Storage) on the Model 40, and BCROS (Balanced Capacitor Read-On

The session work with other players here isn't quite as good as the material on the first anthology, but An Anthology, Vol. 2 does feature a live cut by Delaney & Bonnie, plus a pair of what were then previously unissued Allman Brothers Band live tracks (among them "Midnight Rider" from the Fillmore East in June 1971). There's another good Duane Allman solo number and a good Hour Glass track ("Been Gone Too Long"), more session work with Aretha Franklin and King Curtis, Ronnie Hawkins ("Matchbox"), Wilson Pickett ("Born to Be Wild"), Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Sam Samudio, and Otis Rush. The annotation here isn't as thorough as it was on the first volume, but anyone who owns the first double-CD set will almost certainly have to own this one as well, and for a set there's a lot of very good music.
Duane Allman's greatness was apparent on his recordings with the Allman Brothers, yet there was another side to the superb guitarist. For many years, he was a highly respected session musician, playing on cuts by Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, and Clarence Carter, among others. By including those session cuts, as well as a sampling of his brief sojourn in Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes and a few rare solo tracks, along with a number of representative Allman Brothers songs, the double-album Anthology winds up drawing a complete portrait of Allman. He may have recorded plenty of other material worth hearing, but this has the bare essentials for an excellent introduction and retrospective.
It's difficult to call a guitarist who routinely shows up in the upper reaches of "100 Greatest Guitarists Ever" lists underappreciated, and yet the first impression the towering seven-disc box set Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective makes is that Duane Allman does not receive his proper due…
Gregg Allman's "One More Try: An Anthology" is a most unusual retrospective, for the 34 songs on the two CDs include only eight performances that have ever been released before. Perhaps this is an admission by Allman himself that his solo albums have been over-produced in a way that distracted from his primary asset, his blues-drenched baritone. That voice dominates the stripped-down demos, pre-orchestration alternate takes and live performances that make up the 26 previously unreleased tracks. Many of these rarities suffer from a lack of rhythmic push, but to hear Allman growling and purring his way through his favorite Muddy Waters, Jackson Browne and Bobby Bland tunes, as well as his own originals, is a genuine treat. Highlights include a jam with Johnny Winter, Buddy Miles, and Berry Oakley on "Wasted Words," an acoustic-guitar-and-vocal version of "Come and Go Blues" and a soulful reading of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman."

CASTLE PINES, Colo. — After the Marshall Fire, cities and counties are creating plans to reduce the risk of urban wildfires in their areas.
The Castle Pines city council recently adopted a new wildfire mitigation plan in a 6-0 vote. The plan details suggestions homeowners could undertake to make their homes less susceptible to fire.
Castle Pines worked in partnership with South Metro Fire Rescue to develop the plan, detailed in a 36-page document.
South Metro describes three different categories that homeowners are encouraged to explore for their properties: landscaping, home hardening (the use of different materials that are less flammable) and creating an evacuation plan.
Einar Jensen, Risk Reduction Specialist with South Metro, said homeowners are encouraged to take three steps first:
- Removing all juniper trees from their property.
- Cleaning out gutters regularly to remove dead and dry needles, leaves and debris.
- Signing up for their county's notification system.
"The Marshall Fire reminded all of us once again that regardless of where you live in Colorado, you could be vulnerable to a wildfire. It reminded us that we all have a role to play," Jensen said.
As part of the mitigation plan, South Metro staff will also work individually with homeowners who would like to make changes on their property to help them take the steps the home will benefit from most.
"All the partners in your community want to help you, the resident, do better for wildfire mitigation and protecting your family. By protecting your family, you are also going to protect those first responders. By working together, we can reduce risk on a community level," Jensen said.
Fire agencies can also direct residents to financial resources that may make changes easier from a cost perspective.

The cylinder of an internal-combustion engine is closed at one end by a plate called the head and open at the other end to permit free oscillation of the connecting rod, which joins the piston to the crankshaft. The cylinder head contains the spark plugs on spark-ignition (gasoline) engines and usually the fuel nozzle on compression-ignition (diesel) engines; on some most engines the valves that control the admission of fresh fuel air–fuel mixtures and the escape of burned fuel are also located in the head.
On most engines the cylinders are smoothly finished holes in the main structural component of the engine that is known as the block, which is generally made of cast iron or aluminum. On some engines the cylinders are lined with sleeves (liners) that can be replaced when they become worn. Aluminum blocks employ centrifugally cast iron liners that are placed in the mold when the aluminum is being cast; these liners are not replaceable, but they can be rebored.
Pistons are usually equipped with piston rings. These are circular metal rings that fit into grooves in the piston walls and assure a snug fit of the piston inside the cylinder. They help provide a seal to prevent leakage of compressed gases around the piston and to prevent lubricating oil from entering the combustion chamber.
An important characteristic of an internal-combustion engine is its compression ratio, defined as the total volume of the combustion chamber with the piston fully extended (maximum volume) divided by the total volume with the piston fully compressed (minimum volume). The actual compression ratio in practice is somewhat less. Higher compression ratios usually provide better engine performance, but they require a fuel with better antiknock characteristics.
Closely associated with the compression ratio is a characteristic known as the displacement—i.e., the change in volume (measured in cubic inches or cubic centimetres) of the combustion chamber that takes place as the piston moves from one extreme to the other. The displacement is related to the horsepower rating of an engine.

Diseases of the circulation (hypertension, heart failure, coronary vascular disease and stroke) are some of the biggest killers in Western society. We aim to improve understanding of the effects of disease on blood vessel function and to produce strategies for prevention and alleviation of organ damage arising from blood vessel malfunction. We are approaching this problem by elucidating the physiological, cellular and molecular mechanisms of drug action on the vasculature and its endothelial lining.
Mechanisms of vasodilator action
For a number of years, we have studied actions of vasodilators (e.g. nitric oxide, adenosine, levcromakalim) and vasoconstrictors (e.g. endothelin, a-adrenoceptor agonists) on resistance vessels. Recent work has included study of endothelium-derived hyperpolarising factor (EDHF) and its sensitivity to K+ channel blockers [1,2] and we have also elucidated some interactions between K+ channel vasodilator mechanisms (e.g. levcromakalim, EDHF) and those dependent on nitric oxide/cyclic GMP [3, 4] as well as investigated the membrane potential changes evoked by vasodilators (such as K+ channel openers  and purinoceptor agonists ) in endothelial cells in situ.
|Dr Hiley in the Lab|
Vascular pharmacology of cannabinoids
Since 1997 we have had an interest in the cardiovascular actions of cannabinoids, starting with an investigation of the endocannabinoid, anandamide, as a potential candidate for EDHF .
We showed that anandamide and the responses evoked by EDHF-releasing agents, carbachol and A23187, were differentially sensitive to inhibition of K+ channels and that the K+ channels concerned were on the endothelium rather than the vascular smooth muscle. We have since shown that the responses to cannabinoid agonists in rat blood vessels (the mesenteric [7,8] and the coronary arteries [9,10]) do not seem to be mediated through the classical CB1 and CB2 receptors.
Current work is intended to characterise the receptor mediating these responses and, in collaboration of Dr Will Ford, also the cardioprotective effects of the endocannabinoids.
The laboratory uses perfusion of vascular beds in vitro (particularly the coronary and mesenteric vasculature), wire- and video myographs, electrophysiology and tissue culture. Active collaborations are with Dr Alain Vuylsteke, Consultant Anaesthetist, Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire (concerning vascular actions of blood substitutes ) and Dr Will Ford (concerning the cardioprotective effects of cannabinoids) of the Welsh School of Pharmacy, Cardiff.
