A drug "conspiracy" is simply an agreement between two people to violate drug laws. It is a federal conspiracy if those are federal drug laws. This doesn't generally pertain to drug use – most federal drug conspiracy charges are for large-scale operations to manufacture and/or distribute controlled substances.
There was an agreement between two or more people to violate federal drug laws.
This does not have to be a written agreement – it can be a "general understanding" to manufacture, import, sell, or possess with the intent to sell any controlled substance.
The person charged knows about the agreement and joins.
Note that there is no requirement that a person handle drugs to be charged. A person might have a minor role in a drug conspiracy – such as driving a car for someone else involved, placing phone calls, arranging meetings, or arranging the use of facilities or other property – and still be charged with this federal crime. If charged, you face long federal prison sentences and heavy fines.
To defend against federal drug conspiracy charges, your attorney has several options.
There was no agreement to possess, manufacture, or distribute controlled substances illegally.
The prosecution cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was such an agreement.
An existing agreement to manufacture or distribute drugs was legal.
Your attorney might demonstrate that you had no knowledge of the agreement.
If you were involved in a drug conspiracy, but not in the conspiracy for which you were charged, your attorney can demonstrate this difference and clear you of the charges.
If you knew about the plan and withdrew from the conspiracy, your attorney can use this to mount a defense. For this to work, though, you need to communicate with law enforcement. Withdrawing from a conspiracy will protect you from liability for future crimes resulting from the conspiracy, but will not change your liability for past offenses.
Your attorney might make an "entrapment" case. This means that law enforcement officials targeted you and "entrapped" you, coercing or tricking you into buying, selling, or otherwise handling drugs.
The entrapment defense depends on your attorney demonstrating that you were not predisposed to the crime – you had no history or interest in the drug business. If, for example, you turned down an inducement to buy or sell drugs or otherwise join a drug conspiracy, and undercover federal agents came back to try you again, whereupon you acquiesced, you would be in a good position to use the entrapment defense.
Your attorney might have charges thrown out because of an illegal search or wiretap. It will be necessary to file a motion early on in your case.

If you have OCD, it would be an extremely challenging task to cope with the anxiety at your workplace. Each one of us must have experienced some sort of anxieties at any point in our lives. Anxiety is a normal and standard reaction to cope with stress in our lives.
However, for those suffering from OCD, anxiety is a totally different matter. This is because OCD is in itself an anxiety disorder. Anxiety for them is more complicated. In a workplace, this is particularly true.
OCD sufferers might also experience a tendency towards repetitive behaviours. These are known as "compulsions". Individuals having this condition are mostly involved in different sorts of habits or rituals.
Counting objects or cleaning in a certain manner repeatedly are two examples of OCD. If you are suffering from something like this, it might affect your memory and concentration at work resulting in poorer performance. You would find that your responsibility at work is being threatened by this obsessions and compulsions.
To deal with OCD, the first strategy that you should consider is to seek professional help from a therapist or medical practitioners with expertise in OCD.
These experts will try to unlock the factors triggering your OCD by applying specific therapy method suitable to you.If you fear that the OCD is resulting in intense anxiety, and is affecting your work, it is very important to inform the Human Resources Department in your company. Your rights and welfare as an employee should not be affected. Besides, companies nowadays believe in supporting their employees to achieve 'work-life' balance.Your company will ensure to support you all the way, for instance making special arrangements, allowing flexibility to ensure you have proper treatment. Your work performance is what matters to them. They will do what is best to accommodate your needs as long as you maintain your quality of work.
From this guide, anxiety in the workplace can be overcome successfully if you know the ways. However, expect to encounter difficulties and challenges. It is not easy to deal with OCD especially when it crosses path with your work life. However, the important thing is that it is possible to cope with OCD when you are at work.Follow the treatment and advice by your therapist or medical professional. Be persistent and disciplined. Do not give up. Also, consult with your company so that they are aware of your condition and know that you are working on getting better. Do not be shy, talk with your friends and work mates. It is better to be in a working environment that is aware of your condition. You will feel better, and get better quickly if you have a healthy working environment around you.

John Bostock should receive a good reception on his return to Crystal Palace tomorrow (Saturday) with his new side Toulouse.
That's the view of the Eagles' academy director Gary Issott, who has fond memories of Bostock in his younger years at Palace, where he broke into the first team at the age of 15 and became the club's youngest ever player, before making a controversial move to Tottenham in 2008.
And Issott says there was no doubting the talent that he had, as he recalled why he was so highly rated as a young player coming through.
"He was one of the best schoolboys we ever had," said Issott.
"He was 6ft 2ins, left footed and we had real high hopes for him.
"He was – and still is – the youngest player to ever play for Crystal Palace and I have fond memories of John, but unfortunately we weren't able to keep hold of him.
"I think if he had stayed he would have had the chance to play a number of games at Palace and establish himself at the club.
"He was certainly an early developer and that enabled him to play in the youth team – the U18 team at a younger age and that's generally what the better players do. Look at Victor Moses, he did that at 14 [and scored five goals in the final of the FA Youth Cup].
But things did not work out that way for Bostock with the Eagles, with the former Palace season ticket holder making just four league appearances for the Eagles before joining Spurs in a deal that was eventually decided at a tribunal, after the two clubs failed to agree a fee.
However, Issott says that while his departure from the club is still talked about today, he feels that the 26-year-old should be welcomed back to Selhurst Park as he prepares to return on Saturday with his new side Toulouse for a pre-season friendly.
And the Palace academy director is looking forward to seeing the former Tottenham man again.
"I think John will have different emotions coming back – and you could see that from his [recent] interview [which can be seen below, courtesy of CPFC].
"I think people have to understand how hard it is being a young player and having to make such a big decision at such a young age.
"It is hard enough when you are more senior, and there's no doubt that would not have been easy for him, and I think the supporters should be good with him.
"It is not easy, and again, I don't think he should be vilified for that, because I think a lot of players would make the same decision."
But Issott has been impressed with how Bostock has turned things around in recent seasons after a difficult time in England, forging a successful career for himself abroad, and being named Ligue 2 player of the year in 2017 while with RC Lens.
He is now back in France with Toulouse, and Issott has spoken of his admiration for what Bostock has done in recent years.
"It takes a lot of courage," he said.
"The easy thing for John as his career stalled here would have been to pack up or to have got down and then it becomes a spiral and you lose your form and your fitness, and you end up leaving the game that way.
"But he has shown a lot of spirit, courage and bravery really to go abroad; it is only recently really that more players have gone abroad.
"John would have been one of the first – I can't think of too many before John – and he was a bit of a pioneer really.
"To be a footballer and have a professional career, there are only so many, and John is one of that number."

Twitter Embraces Its Inner Search Engine
Greg Sterling on April 2, 2009 at 7:33 am
Twitter is a search engine after all — or make that a "discovery engine." The folks at Twitter are saying that the experiment with integrating a search box into Twitter pages will rolled out with some interesting twists and new dimensions. It won't be at the top of the page, but rather on the sidebar:
Currently, a small subset of Twitter users are trying this new search feature in the sidebar of their Twitter home page. When you do a search, you don't go to another page, the relevant tweets instantly show up where you'd expect them to—right on your home page where tweets love to be.
Twist number one, "saved searches":
If there's a search you want to do on a regular basis, you can "save" the search. That will place the word or term permanently in your sidebar for easy access. So if you want to know what people are saying about the city you live in, the products you use, or just something weird, it becomes a link on your home page.
This notion of persistent search or, perhaps more analogously alerts, is not new but its integration into Twitter provides a potentially useful way to monitor certain kinds of terms (think of all the PR people who will monitor their clients or brands, etc.). Apparently the tweets that will be revealed when accessing those saved searches are real-time posts/discussions — literally happening right now. It's not entirely clear what happens to relevant search content that is a day or a week old. That great restaurant recommendation or other revelation might have occurred in the recent past when you were asleep or taking your kids to the movies.
Twist number two, "trends":
Trends are words or phrases being referenced with more frequency suggesting that something interesting might be happening. When you click on a trend link, you can read the tweets and find out what's up. Trends is in beta—but it has potential.
Trends will also be in the sidebar apparently and will be about the Twittergeist rather than individual search queries. Danny has written a couple of extensive posts on Twitter as search tool and the rise of "help engines" (Twitter and beyond). Matt McGee's got another Twitter-related search post that will appear later today.
Twitter with these changes is moving much more squarely into the mainstream world of search — and discovery.

Leith (lēth), an important seaport in Scotland and a municipal and parliamentary borough, stands on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, two miles north of Edinburgh. The harbor works have cost more than $5,000,000. The foreign, colonial and coaling trade, already very great, is constantly increasing, and there is regular steamboat communication with London and several other ports. The nine months' siege by the Protestants in 1559-60 and the surprise of its citadel by the Jacobites in 1715 are the chief events in its history. Population 85,721.

Coronavirus prompts Google to suspend China, Taiwan operations
By Joseph Tsidulko on Jan 30, 2020 11:19AM
Google has suspended operations at its offices in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for an indeterminate amount of time as coronavirus spreads across the region, according to a report published Wednesday in The Verge.
The internet giant confirmed the accuracy of The Verge article to CRN USA but did not immediately answer a question of whether the temporary closure impacts its enterprise cloud business.
Google offers limited services directly in China due to restrictions imposed by that country's government. While the provider doesn't operate any data centers on the Chinese mainland, it opened a cloud region in Hong Kong in November of 2018, and is highly active in Taiwan, where it operates one data center in Changhua County, and is preparing to build a second near the city of Tainan.
The hyperscale cloud provider also has an artificial intelligence research center in Taiwan and a development team there that works with HTC to builds its Pixel smartphones per contract.
Taiwanese authorities on Tuesday reported the first patient infected on that island, who was the husband of the fifth resident of Taiwan infected overall.
Google maintains four offices in mainland China that staff sales agents and engineers who work on its advertising business, the company told CRN USA.
A Google spokesperson told CRN USA that the company is keeping employees in the region updated on the situation. Google.org also issued a 4250,000 grant to the Chinese Red Cross.

Ro 15-4513 binding to GABAA receptors: subunit composition determines ligand efficacy.
The bidirectional modulation of ligand binding to benzodiazepine receptors (BzR) by GABA (the "GABA shift") has been widely used to predict ligand efficacy. The present study examined the effects of GABA and muscimol on [3H]Ro 15-4513 binding to "diazepam-insensitive" (DI) and "diazepam-sensitive" (DS) BzR. Neither GABA nor muscimol significantly altered [3H]Ro 15-4513 binding to DI in cerebellum, while both compounds inhibit [3H]Ro 15-4513 binding to cerebellar DS in a concentration-dependent fashion. The maximum reductions in [3H]Ro 15-4513 binding to cerebral cortical and hippocampal membranes elicited by GABA were comparable to those obtained in cerebellar DS, but significantly less than obtained with the full inverse agonist [3H]3-carbomethoxy-beta-carboline. The qualitatively different effect of GABAmimetics on [3H]Ro 15-4513 binding to DS and DI is not species specific since identical effects were obtained in rat and mouse brain. Based on previously established criteria, Ro 15-4513 can be classified as a "GABA-neutral" (antagonist) ligand at DI and "GABA negative" (inverse agonist) at other BzR. These findings suggest that GABAA receptor subunit composition determines not only ligand affinity but also ligand efficacy.


When refugees arrive in a new country, everything is unfamiliar. Most countries just assign refugees to cities completely at random -- or according to where the open spots happen to be when the person arrives.
But a new algorithm developed by Stanford's Immigration Policy Lab could use refugees' backgrounds to match them with their ideal cities – vastly improving their chance at employment and integration.

Struntje Light Is Boat Of The Day
Day two of the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship was a testimonial to the tight competition in this high-caliber fleet with three winners in as many races. After an hour delay to allow the breeze to come up, the 19-strong international fleet was tested on San Francisco Bay by a building 10 to 16 knot seabreeze and a flood tide contributing to increasing chop as the day wore on.
Boat of the day honors were taken by Wolfgang Schaefer's German-flagged Struntje light which won the first race of the day and then followed with finishes of 3-5.
"Conditions were not easy," said Schaefer after racing. "The wind came up and was quite shifty. We have a very good crew and these guys did a very good job of taking care of me on the boat, and obviously the performance was not too bad. We had a terrible start; at the start we were last, and then, fortunately, at the first upwind mark we were first. We have a very good tactician and we were on the right side of the course and the pressure came from the right."
Struntje light stands seventh overall on 40 points at the mid-point of the regatta, with the organizers planning for five additional races over the remaining two days of racing. "This was one day which was not too bad," said a pragmatic Schaefer. "The game is not finished."
Race two was won by three-time Rolex Farr 40 World Champion Jim Richardson of Newport, R.I. and Boston, Mass. Richardson is at the helm of the Australian-flagged Kokomo, which was made available for charter when her owner, Lang Walker, had a pressing business commitment.
"The second race was really a lot of fun," said Richardson who currently stands sixth overall with 39 points. "We got to the top mark first. We sailed a great upwind leg and just squeezed around ahead of Struntje at the top. Then, unfortunately, on the downwind leg we lost Struntje and Voodoo Chile. But we had a great second beat up and we got around ahead of them at the top of the second beat, but this time we had a really good run and were able to get through to finish first and that felt really good. And the last race [in which he finished fourth], was pretty amazing. We had a great last beat and probably passed five boats. All the boats finished so close together it was amazing. The difference between coming in fourth, like we did, or 12th, was just boat lengths."
In the final race of the day, New York's Alex Roepers, on Plenty, won his fourth race of the series, and, with a 1-1-1-6-4-1 scoreline for 14 points, retains the top spot in the overall standings. Roepers holds a 19-point lead over three teams who are tied on points, including two Australians – 2011 Rolex Farr 40 World Champion Guido Belgiorno-Nettis on Transfusion and Lisa and Martin Hill on Estate Master – and Italy's defending Rolex Farr 40 World Champion, Alberto Rossi on Enfant Terrible. Another Australian-flagged boat, Andrew Hunn's Voodoo Chile, is fifth overall with 34 points.
Racing resumes tomorrow, Friday, October 17, and concludes on Saturday, October 18, when a champion will be crowned at the conclusion of racing.

Police charge 60-yo suspect in 1980 cold case
by NewsworldMedia | Sep 11, 2019 | News | 0 comments
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA)– 61-year-old Alvin Ray Allen is being charged in the 1980 murder of 19-year-old Sandra Williams.
SWAT teams surrounded his home on Cheshire and Hollybook drive in Mobile Tuesday morning after he barricaded himself in his home with his wife inside, when they were trying to serve him an arrest warrant.
"Mr. Allen answered the door and after the officer asked him to step outside the subject slammed the door on the officer and barricaded himself inside," said Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste.
Eventually officers convinced Allen to let his wife out.
"Shortly thereafter we had to breach the door because Mr. Allen was still refusing to come out."
The standoff ended after nearly two hours, with police finally getting him into custody.
The 61-year-old now charged with the murder of Sandra Williams back on September 11, 1980.
Williams was just 19-years-old when she was raped and stabbed in Mobile.
Allen did not say a word as police took him to Metro.
Jewels Simmons has lived just around the corner from Allen's home for more than 30 years.
She says she was surprised to see all of the commotion, but doesn't know the suspected killer.
"It's phenomenal just to see all of this going on and i woke up to it this morning thinking like… my goodness where are all these cars coming from," said Simmons.
Allen has been arrested before, convicted of DUI in Baldwin County back in 2009.
Chief Battiste didn't say what kind of evidence lead to the arrest in this decades old murder mystery, that information is expected to be revealed as this case makes its way through the courts, but it could be October before Allen faces a judge.
Mobile District Attorney Ashley Rich confirmed that Allen bonded out of jail three hours after his arrest.
According to Rich, since this was a secret indictment, a grand jury had already set the bond at $100,000 which required $10,000 to be paid in cash.
Rich said Allen was able to post the cash and was released shortly thereafter.

Мартенівський чавун — вид переробного чавуну, призначений для переробки на сталь у мартенівських печах. Крім заліза і вуглецю містить кремнію Si 0,5-1,2 %, марганцю Mn 0,5-2,0 %, фосфору Р 0,02-2,0 %, сірки S 0,01-0,06 %. Мартенівський чавун буває переробний коксовий, фосфористий з вмістом фосфору 1-2 % і високоякісний з вмістом фосфору 0,02-0,04 % і сірки 0,015-0,025 %. Мартенівський чавун з вмістом 0,02-0,06 % Р і 0,015-0,025 % S використовується для кислого мартенівського процесу, чавун з вмістом 0,2-0,3 % Р — для основного мартенівського процесу.

У зв'язку з поступовим витисненням мартенівського способу одержання сталі іншими способами переробки чавуну на сталь, у нових стандартах поняття «мартенівський чавун» не згадується.

D.R. Horton's Southeast Florida Division is pleased to announce the completion of a newly decorated model in Palma Vista, a brand new community of single-family homes located at 12762 SW 184th Terrace in Miami.
Homes in Palma Vista range from approximately 1,970 to 2,705 square feet of living space and start in the high-$300s. Several quick move-in opportunities are available in this community of only 16 homes. The new Holly model is a spacious three-bedroom home featuring a den, three baths, and a three-car garage, for approximately 2,263 square feet of living space.
Palma Vista is only minutes from great shopping and restaurants. Conveniently located for commuters, the community is also within easy access of all the recreational opportunities and entertainment the Miami area has to offer.


The InsightEdge JDBC Driver is broadly compatible with the SQL-99 Core specification. It allows database-driven applications to interact with the Space via SQL read queries. The driver performs query optimization if needed and translates the SQL query into Space operations.
Include all the JAR files from the <XAP-HOME>\insightedge\lib\jdbc and <XAP-HOME>\lib\required directories in your project.
The InsightEdge JDBC driver can query either POJOs or Space Documents.
2018-04-15 09:45:54,902 [main] DEBUG - Creating prepared statement for query: SELECT e.firstName, e.age FROM Person e WHERE e.age = ?
For more information about Space documents, refer to the Document API page.
In order to connect to the Space with the InsightEdge JDBC driver, you need to specify the JDBC connection string. The general format of the connection string is: jdbc:insightedge:url=<space_url>;<url_properties> or jdbc:insightedge:spaceName=<space_name>;<url_properties>.
The connection string is mandatory. Other parameters are optional.
For more information about the Space URL, see The Space URL page.
The following optional connection string properties are configurable.
user The user for a secured Space.
password The password for a secured Space.
log4jFile The path to log4j.properties file. If not provided, the default configuration is used. For more information, see the Logging topic.
Other properties are inherited from the Apache Calcite jdbc-connect-string-parameters.
2018-04-15 09:56:21,657 [main] DEBUG - Creating prepared statement for query: EXPLAIN PLAN FOR SELECT e.firstName, e.age FROM Person e WHERE e.age = ?
The InsightEdge JDBC driver can query either Space classes or Space documents. When querying the Space class, the class package is stripped and only the class name is used. If there are several classes with the same name but in different packages in the classpath, the full class name needs to be specified by replacing the package separator (.) with (_).
When querying Space documents, the table name is equal to document name. The table name is case sensitive.
Query performance can be greatly improved by indexing. For more information about indexing, refer to the Indexing section.
The logging granularity can be set using the logLevel parameter in the JDBC connection string. The level can be configured with one of the following options: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, ALL or OFF. This parameter configuration does not apply to the logging level for third-party libraries.
For more information on how to set logging levels, refer to the Logging section of the Administration guide.
The driver translates SQL queries into Space API calls. It is important to understand which SQL construction driver converts to which Space calls. This will allow you to create more sufficient queries.
This query creates a data grid SQLQuery, and pushes the predicate and projection down to the data grid side so only a small result subset is loaded on the client side.
For more information about SQL support in the data grid, refer to the SQL Query page.
This query uses the XAP aggregation API, and pushes the aggregation fields and the projections down to the data grid. All the calculations are performed on the server side.
For more information about the XAP aggregation API, refer to the Aggregation API page.
The InsightEdge\ JDBC driver has two join algorithms, Hash Join and Nested Loop Join. They use the distributed tasks to execute the join. Considering two join tables, the larger table is used as the probe table, while the smaller is used as the build table.
The Hash Join algorithm is applied for equality conjunctions (when only equal conditions are used in the join predicates), while the Nested Loop Join algorithm is applied in other cases.
Each partition loads the build table from the entire cluster and stores it in memory. The node must have enough free memory while executing a non-collocated join to hold the entire build table in the memory of the single partition.
To improve the performance of the join queries, consider designing your schema to run Collocated Join. The benefit of the collocated join is that it doesn't load the build table from all partitions, but only from the current partition. This join uses the share nothing approach. In order to achieve this join condition, you can only use a routing field.
When using a Nested Loop Join, the linear search is applied against the build table for each item in the probe table. This may affect performance.
In order to turn off the server side join execution and run all calculations on the client side, set the disableServerSideJoins=false connection string parameter.
The InsightEdge JDBC driver was not designed for low latency operations.
The InsightEdge JDBC driver allows only read operations.
Embedded objects can't be used in the queries.
Document's dynamic properties can't be used in the queries.

February 2, 1913 (Sunday)
 The first train departed from New York City's Grand Central Terminal, having been rebuilt, opened a moment after midnight as the world's largest train station. At 12:01 am, the Boston Express No. 2 became the first train to depart, with a Mr. F. M. Lamh of Yonkers, New York credited as the first person to buy a ticket in the new terminal. On its first day, between 12:01 am and 7:00 pm, the new station attracted 150,000 visitors.  "At the height of its activity, in the years just after the Second World War", one historian noted, "Grand Central served about the same number of passengers as the world's busiest airport does today, even though Grand Central uses only 1 percent as much land as the airport does."
 Rienzi Melville Johnston resigned as U.S. Senator from Texas after only four weeks in office, after having been appointed on January 4. U.S. Senator-elect Morris Sheppard took office a month ahead of schedule to complete the six-year term of Joseph Weldon Bailey, who had resigned.
 American poet Joyce Kilmer wrote his most famous poem "Trees" over an afternoon while staying at a family home overlooking the Ramapo Valley in Mahwah, New Jersey. It would be published in the August issue of Poetry later that year.

 At 11:00 am local time, five minutes after the Delaware House of Representatives had received the state Senate resolution for ratification, Delaware became the 36th state to vote in favor of the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, allowing Congress to create a federal income tax. The vote in both state houses was unanimous. With three-fourths of the 48 U.S. states having ratified the amendment, "The first change in the Federal Constitution in forty-three years was made certain."  Wyoming and New Mexico voted their approval later in the day.
 The German railroad car manufacturer Gothaer Waggonfabrik began an aviation division, which would create one of the first heavy bombers used in war: the Gotha twin-engine bomber that was used for bombing raids on England during World War I.

 The wife of British Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott departed from Los Angeles on the way to meet her husband in New Zealand. Mrs. Scott, unaware that her husband had died in Antarctica, told reporters, "I expect to meet Capt. Scott in Lytleton in March... I have not heard from my husband for about eighteen months, but I have no doubt whatsoever that he will arrive in New Zealand safely." The next day, she set off from San Francisco on the steamer Aorangi.

February 8, 1913 (Saturday)

 Russian pilot N. de Sackoff becomes the first pilot shot down in combat when his biplane was hit by ground fire following a bombing run on the walls of Fort Bezhani during the First Balkan War. Flying for Greece, he came down near Preveza, on the coast north of the Ionian island of Lefkada, where he secured local Greek assistance, repaired his airplane, and flew back to base.
 For the first time in more than 110 years, an incumbent U.S. President personally spoke before a house of the United States Congress. U.S. President William Howard Taft appeared before a session of the United States Senate to deliver a eulogy for the late Vice-President, James S. Sherman, who had died in November. "Not since 1801," the New York Times observed, "has the President spoken directly to either house of Congress." Thomas Jefferson had set the precedent of communicating to Congress by written message only, which in turn had broken the tradition set by Presidents George Washington and John Adams in speaking at the opening of Congress.
 The United States and Nicaragua signed the Wertzel-Chamorro Treaty, with the U.S. paying $3 million to Nicaragua for the option to build a canal across the nation to link the Atlantic and Pacific, and the right to set up bases on Corn Island and the Gulf of Fonseca.

 Former General Bernardo Reyes attempted to lay siege on the presidential palace in Mexico City but Palace Guard commander Lauro Villar Ochoa, who was dressed in civilian clothes on his way to the palace, observed Reyes troops mobilizing to attack and was able to alert the guards in time. The resulting gun battle killed 400 soldiers and civilians and injured 1,000, including Reyes who was shot off his mount as he led the attack on horse. President Francisco I. Madero heard of the attack from his residence three miles away and tried to get to the presidential palace, but was stopped short.

It was reported by seven ships at sea, and then last reported off the eastern tip of Brazil near Cape Sao Roque. The procession was not observed by Professor Clarence Chant, of the Astronomy Department of the University of Toronto, but on the following day he was inundated with phone calls and letters from witnesses to the event.

 Four days after their forced resignations, former Mexican President Francisco I. Madero, and Vice-President José María Pino Suárez were shot to death after being transported from the presidential palace to a prison. The official explanation by current President Victoriano Huerta was that the two men were being transported in automobiles and "two-thirds of the way to the penitentiary, they were attacked by an armed group...and the prisoners tried to escape. An exchange of shots then took place in which one of the attacking party was killed, two were wounded and both prisoners killed."

Granola can be great tasting hippie food. But buyer beware. On one side, some of the packaged brands cram a lot of unfamiliar flavors in the mix. While these ingredients are often healthy, the flavors can be tough to swallow for kids. On the flip side, the more mainstream brands cram a lot sugar and artificial ingredients into their products which put them on par with the nutritional value of a candy bar. Sticking to basic ingredients is the trick.
Simple flavors – oatmeal, pecans, and cranberries baked with natural goodness. This recipe is so simple, that homemade granola may soon become a staple in your house for breakfasts and snacks! Best Granola Ever is perfect for family members 3-99 years old.
Preheat over to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the oats, pecans, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. In a saucepan warm the oil and honey and stir in the vanilla. Carefully pour the liquid over the oat mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture is evenly coated.
Spread the granola onto a large cookie sheet (15X10X1 inch). Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Stir in dried cranberries.
Storage: Store granola in an air-tight container at room temperature for one week or in the freezer for 3 months.

BARNSTAPLE Colts proved too strong for Honiton in a re-arranged Merit Table game, running out 36-19 winners at All Hallows.The game was played in a biting wind and started in a snow flurry - so much for Spring having arrived!Barnstaple opened the scoring after six minutes when Ciaron Lishman touched down out wide after the centres carved through Honiton's defence. Barum repeated the move soon afterwards with full-back James Owen scoring. Tristan Lincoln-Gordon converted to make it 12-0. Barnstaple appeared to be in control of the match without ever getting out of first gear and added another try through Owen.However, Barum relaxed too much allowing Honiton's forward to drive over for a try before half time.Barnstaple made changes during the interval and started the second half strongly. Centre Lee Ryan scored after five minutes with Lincoln-Gordon converting the try. Ross Williamson, playing as a replacement flanker, scored his first try since joining the team. Tom Pearce converted. Injuries to two of Barnstaple's front-row players resulted in uncontested scrums being played.Honiton came back into the match with two tries scored by their large forwards. In between the two Honiton scores was one by Barum's Alastair Crombie.Barnstaple's backs always looked too sharp for Honiton, with centre and captain Lee Ryan having a good game. Barum's Man of the Match was Williamson for a fine display in a new position.

With accredited services increasingly becoming an integral part of business operations, many wonder how the processes of accreditation and certification work.
Accreditation is an internationally accepted independent oversight process for maintaining operational standards and ensuring confidence. It is accepted by many governments and private industries, including at various levels of the global food supply.
Recognized within the food industry and endorsed by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the process of accredited certification has become essential for business.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), in its rule on accredited third-party certification, incorporates the accreditation process for oversight over third-party certification bodies certifying foreign food facilities manufacturing for import into the United States.
Accreditation is the process of ensuring that an organization has the necessary technical competence to perform a specific task, and has met and continues to meet a specific set of operational requirements. An accreditation body (AB) uses internationally established techniques and procedures to assess conformity assessment bodies (CABs) against recognized standards to ensure their impartiality, competence, and ability to produce consistently reliable, technically sound and impartial results.
Accreditation provides formal recognition that an organization is competent to carry out specific tasks, and provides an independent assessment of conformity assessment bodies (CABs)1 against recognized standards to ensure their impartiality and competence. Accreditation provides assurance to a CAB's customers and industry that the CAB continuously operates according to internationally accepted criteria applicable to CAB's scope of accreditation.
Although there is flexibility for an AB to design its accreditation process within the constraints of ISO/IEC 17011, Conformity assessment – General requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies, the standard to which all internationally recognized ABs must conform, some aspects are mandatory.
A certificate and scope of accreditation are issued only after a favorable accreditation decision.
Once accredited, the CAB is regularly re-assessed to ensure continued conformance to the accreditation requirements, and to confirm that the required standard of operation is being maintained.
It is important to note while ABs provide oversight over CABs, internationally recognized ABs are themselves subject to regular oversight from organizations orchestrating the harmonization and recognition of the accreditation process internationally.
The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) provide this international oversight. ABs that are signatories of the ILAC and/or IAF mutual recognition agreements (MLAs or MRAs) must conform with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17011 as applicable program-specific requirements, and are admitted to the agreements for a specific capability, for example, as an accreditor for testing labs or for management systems certification bodies. Technical competence of the AB and conformance to the requirements is verified through rigorous on site evaluation by other member of the IAF or ILAC community.
The IAF, MLA and ILAC agreements are internationally recognized forms of approval; signatories have demonstrated their compliance with specified standards and requirements. Accreditation by a signatory of the ILAC MRA and/or IAF MLA provides assurance that decisions are based on reliable results, thus minimizing risk.
This is of particular importance in the constantly evolving global food-supply network. Many specifiers, such as regulatory authorities, have acknowledged the importance of credible accreditation programs.
A number of government agencies in the United States and around the world, including the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), have mandated accreditation by an internationally recognized accrediting body for their programs.
Accreditation within the MLA/MRA process helps regulators meet their legislative responsibilities by providing assurance that testing, inspection and evaluation results are issued by organizations whose technical competence and compliance with specified criteria has been verified by an independent third party. It provides assurance to stakeholders, such as the regulatory authorities, that the accredited CAB operates in accordance with recognized and accepted criteria.
Jacqueline Southee is US liaison for FSSC 22000 working to build the profile of the ISO-22000 based certification scheme in the US and understanding of the important role FSSC 22000 can have in the global harmonization of food safety. A graduate of the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Science of the University of Nottingham, Jacqueline is based in Washington DC.

A Invasão do Golfo de Lingayen foi uma operação naval e anfíbia lançada pelos Aliados contra as ilhas Filipinas ocupadas pelo Japão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A missão começou em 6 de janeiro de 1945, quando uma grande frota, liderada pelo almirante norte-americano Jesse B. Oldendorf se aproximaram da costa de Lingayen, na ilha de Luzon. A marinha dos Estados Unidos, apoiada pela Marinha Real Australiana, bombardeou intensamente as posições japonesas na costa, expulsando-os de suas posições no Golfo de Lingayen. Três dias depois, a 9 de janeiro, as forças terrestres e navais japonesas na região haviam sido destruídas. Tropas americanas do exército e dos fuzileiros desembarcaram então nas cidades de Lingayen e San Fabian, na província de Pangasinán, conquistando-as rapidamente. Os Aliados então avançaram para conquistar Luzon.
