Ex-Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Gets 3 Years in Prison
By Associated Press New York State
PUBLISHED 12:16 PM ET Dec. 12, 2018 PUBLISHED December 12, 2018 @12:16 PM
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cohen, who as President Donald Trump's personal lawyer and fixer once vowed he would "take a bullet" for his boss, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for an array of crimes that included arranging the payment of hush money to two women that he says was done at the direction of Trump.
Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congess about Moscow Project
Also pleaded guilty to making hush-money payments for Trump campaign
Cohen in court said he was blinded by his loyalty to President Trump
The sentence was in line with what federal prosecutors asked for. Sentencing guidelines called for around four to five years behind bars, and prosecutors asked in court papers that Cohen be given only a slight break. He is ordered to surrender March 6.

Cohen, standing alone at the defense table, shook his head slightly and closed his eyes briefly as the sentence was announced by the judge.
U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III said Cohen deserved modest credit for his decision over the summer to admit guilt and cooperate in a federal investigation of efforts by Russians to influence the presidential election, but his assistance "does not wipe the slate clean."
"Somewhere along the way Mr. Cohen appears to have lost his moral compass," the judge said. "As a lawyer, Mr. Cohen should have known better."
Cohen told the judge just before he was sentenced that loyalty to Trump led him astray.
"It was my blind loyalty to this man that led me to take a path of darkness instead of light," he said. "I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds."
Cohen's lawyers had argued for leniency, saying he decided to cooperate with investigators rather than hold out for a possible pardon.
"He came forward to offer evidence against the most powerful person in our country," Cohen's lawyer, Guy Petrillo, told the judge during the hearing.

Cohen, 52, pleaded guilty in August to evading $1.4 million in taxes related to his personal businesses. In the part of the case with greater political repercussions, he also admitted breaking campaign finance laws in arranging payments in the waning days of the 2016 election to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, both of whom said they had sexual encounters with Trump.
Cohen became the first — and so far, only — member of Trump's circle during two years of investigations to go into open court and implicate the president in a crime, though whether a president can be prosecuted is a matter of legal dispute.
Last month, Cohen also pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about Trump's business dealings in Russia. He admitted hiding the fact that he was negotiating a proposal to build a Trump skyscraper in Moscow well into the presidential campaign. He said he lied out of devotion to Trump, who had insisted during the campaign that he had no business ties whatsoever to Russia.
The sentence was the culmination of a spectacular rise and fast fall of a lawyer who attached himself to the fortunes of his biggest client, helped him get elected president, then turned on him, cooperating with two interconnected investigations: one run by federal prosecutors in New York, the other by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is looking into Russian efforts to influence the race for the White House.
At the sentencing hearing, a prosecutor in Mueller's office, Jeannie Rhee, said Cohen has "sought to tell us the truth and that is of the utmost value to us."
"He has provided consistent and credible information about core Russia-related issues under investigation," she said without elaborating.
It remains to be seen how much damage Cohen's cooperation will do to Trump. Legal experts said Cohen could get his sentence reduced if he strikes a deal with prosecutors to tell them more.
The defense team said Cohen's tax crimes were unsophisticated, and his campaign violations and lies to lawmakers were motivated by overenthusiasm for Trump, rather than any nefarious intent.
But the New York-based prosecutors who handled the case had urged the judge to sentence Cohen to a substantial prison term and said he failed to fully cooperate with investigators.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos said Cohen's crimes showed a "pattern of deceit, brazenness and greed."
He called for a sentence that sends a message that "even powerful, privileged individuals cannot violate these laws with impunity."
In their court filing, the prosecutors left no doubt that they believe Cohen arranged the hush-money payments at Trump's direction, saying the maneuver was part of an effort to "influence the election from the shadows."
Trump, who insists the affairs never happened, argued on Twitter that the payments to the women were "a simple private transaction," not a campaign contribution. And if it was a prohibited contribution, Trump said, Cohen is the one who should be held responsible.
"Lawyer's liability if he made a mistake, not me," Trump wrote, adding, "Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!"
Trump had repeatedly called for a tough sentence for Cohen, whom he labeled a liar.
Cohen has had at least seven meetings with Mueller's team, which said in court papers that Cohen provided "relevant and useful" information about attempts by Russian figures to influence Trump's campaign.
In the hush-money case, prosecutors said, Cohen arranged for the parent company of the National Enquirer to pay $150,000 to McDougal. He also paid $130,000 to Daniels and was reimbursed by Trump's business empire. Prosecutors said the McDougal payment violated federal law against corporate campaign contributions, while the money that went to Daniels exceeded the $2,700 limit on campaign donations.

Molecular mass
This article is about the mass of a single molecule. For the mass of a mole of a substance commonly used in basic stoichiometric calculations, see Molar mass.
Assuming hydrogen and oxygen are standard weights in this image (as opposed to deuterium oxide) the molecular mass should be 18.01528 u.
The molecular mass (m) of a substance is the mass of one molecule of that substance, in unified atomic mass unit(s) u[1] (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of the isotope carbon-12[2]). This is numerically equivalent to the relative molecular mass (Mr) of a molecule, frequently referred to by the term molecular weight, which is the ratio of the mass of that molecule to 1/12 of the mass of carbon-12 and is a dimensionless number. Thus, it is incorrect to express relative molecular mass (molecular weight) in daltons (Da). Unfortunately, the terms molecular weight and molecular mass have been confused on numerous websites, which often state that molecular weight was used in the past as another term for molecular mass.
Molecular mass differs from more common measurements of the mass of chemicals, such as molar mass, by taking into account the isotopic composition of a molecule rather than the average isotopic distribution of many molecules. As a result, molecular mass is a more precise number than molar mass; however it is more accurate to use molar mass on bulk samples. This means that molar mass is appropriate most of the time except when dealing with single molecules.
The concept of molecular mass is important for all molecules, especially for complex molecules like polymers and biopolymers such as proteins and carbohydrates. The determination of their molecular mass is often difficult, and is usually inferred from gel permeation chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
2 Average mass
3 Computation
4 Measurement
5 Unit type variation
[edit] Definition
There are varying interpretations of this definition. Many chemists use molecular mass as a synonym of molar mass,[3] differing only in units (see average molecular mass below). A stricter interpretation does not equate the two, as the mass of a single molecule is not the same as the average of an ensemble. Because a mole of molecules may contain a variety of molecular masses due to natural isotopes, the average mass is usually not identical to the mass of any single molecule. The actual numerical difference can be very small when considering small molecules and the molecular mass of the most common isotopomer in which case the error only matters to physicists and a small subset of highly specialized chemists; however it is always more correct, accurate and consistent to use molar mass in any bulk stoichiometric calculations. The size of this error becomes much larger when considering larger molecules or less abundant isotopomers. The molecular mass of a molecule which happens to contain heavier isotopes than the average molecule in the sample can differ from the molar mass by several mass units. Also the molar mass comes into comparison with the number of particles contained within the structure by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's constant: NA=6.022 141 79(30)Ë'1023 mol'1.
[edit] Average mass
The average molecular mass (sometimes abbreviated as average mass) is another variation on the use of the term molecular mass. The average molecular mass is the abundance weighted mean (average) of the molecular masses in a sample. This is often closer to what is meant when "molecular mass" and "molar mass" are used synonymously and may have derived from shortening of this term. The average molecular mass and the molar mass of a particular substance in a particular sample are in fact numerically identical and may be interconverted by Avogadro's constant. It should be noted, however, that the molar mass is almost always a computed figure derived from the standard atomic weights, whereas the average molecular mass, in fields that need the term, is often a measured figure specific to a sample. Therefore, they often vary since one is theoretical and the other is experimental. Specific samples may vary significantly from the expected isotopic composition due to real deviations from earth's average isotopic abundances.
[edit] Computation
The molecular mass can be calculated as the sum of the individual isotopic masses (as found in a table of isotopes) of all the atoms in any molecule. This is possible because molecules are created by chemical reactions which, unlike nuclear reactions, have very small binding energies compared to the rest mass of the atoms ( < 10'9) and therefore create a negligible mass defect. The use of average atomic masses derived from the standard atomic weights found on a standard periodic table will result in an average molecular mass, whereas the use of isotopic masses will result in a molecular mass consistent with the strict interpretation of the definition, i.e. that of a single molecule. However, any given molecule may contain any given combination of isotopes, so there may be multiple molecular masses for each chemical compound.
[edit] Measurement
The molecular mass can also be measured directly using mass spectrometry. In mass spectrometry, the molecular mass of a small molecule is usually reported as the monoisotopic mass, that is, the mass of the molecule containing only the most common isotope of each element. Note that this also differs subtly from the molecular mass in that the choice of isotopes is defined and thus is a single specific molecular mass of the many possible. The masses used to compute the monoisotopic molecular mass are found on a table of isotopic masses and are not found on a typical periodic table. The average molecular mass is often used for larger molecules since molecules with many atoms are unlikely to be composed exclusively of the most abundant isotope of each element. A theoretical average molecular mass can be calculated using the standard atomic weights found on a typical periodic table, since there is likely to be a statistical distribution of atoms representing the isotopes throughout the molecule. This however may differ from the true average molecular mass of the sample due to natural (or artificial) variations in the isotopic distributions.
The basis for determination of molecular weight according to the Staudinger method (since replaced by the more general Mark-Houwink equation[4]) is the fact that relative viscosity of suspensions depends on volumetric proportion of solid particles.
[edit] Unit type variation
The molar mass of a substance is the mass of 1 mol (the SI unit for the basis SI quantity amount of substance, having the symbol n) of the substance. This has a numerical value which is the average molecular mass of the molecules in the substance multiplied by Avogadro's constant approximately 6.022*1023. The most common units of molar mass are g/mol because in those units the numerical value equals the average molecular mass in units of u.
Conversion factor of average molecular mass to molar mass:
molar mass = average molecular mass * ((1/6.022)*10-23g/u)*(6.022*1023/mol)
molar mass in g/mol= average molecular mass in u
(Note that these relations are true for theoretical and experimental values, but not between experimental and theoretical values. Molar mass is most often theoretical and average molecular mass is most often experimental)
The average atomic mass of natural hydrogen is 1.00794 u and that of natural oxygen is 15.9994 u; therefore, the molecular mass of natural water with formula H2O is (2 × 1.00794 u) + 15.9994 u = 18.01528 u. Therefore, one mole of water has a mass of 18.01528 grams. However, the exact mass of hydrogen-1 (the most common hydrogen isotope) is 1.00783, and the exact mass of oxygen-16 (the most common oxygen isotope) is 15.9949, so the mass of the most common molecule of water is 18.01056 u. The difference of 0.00472 u or 0.03% comes from the fact that natural water contain traces of water molecules containing, oxygen-17, oxygen-18 or hydrogen-2 (Deuterium) atoms. Although this difference is trivial in bulk chemistry calculations, it can result in complete failure in situations where the behavior of individual molecules matters, such as in mass spectrometry and particle physics (where the mixture of isotopes does not act as an average).
There are also situations where the isotopic distributions are not typical such as with heavy water used in some nuclear reactors which is artificially enriched with Deuterium. In these cases the computed values of molar mass and average molecular mass, which are ultimately derived from the standard atomic weights, will not be the same as the actual molar mass or average molecular mass of the sample. In this case the mass of deuterium is 2.0136 u and the average molecular mass of this water (assuming 100% deuterium enrichment) is (2 × 2.0136 u) + 15.9994 u = 20.0266 u. This is a very large difference of ~11% error from the expected average molecular mass based on the standard atomic weights. Furthermore the most abundant molecular mass is actually slightly less than the average molecular mass since oxygen-16 is still the most common. (2 × 2.0136 u) + 15.9949 u = 20.0221 u. Although this is an extreme artificial example, natural variation in isotopic distributions do occur and are measurable. For example, the atomic weight of lithium as found by isotopic analysis of 39 lithium reagents from several manufacturers varied from 6.939 to 6.996.[5]

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg speaks at a rally at the Alberta Legislature Building in Edmonton, on Friday, Oct. 18, 2019. (The Canadian Press/Dave Chidley)
Anti-nuke activists seek their own Greta, as Canada urged to push NATO on bombs
International Committee of the Red Cross tries to build support for a treaty to ban nuclear weapons
Dec. 2, 2019 12:07 p.m.
Ask Hugo Slim about teenaged climate change activist Greta Thunberg, and one thought comes to mind: if only there were a young person like her who was that worried about nuclear weapons.
Slim is the Geneva-based head of policy and humanitarian diplomacy for the International Committee of the Red Cross, and was in Ottawa recently to meet Canadian anti-nuclear weapons activists.
Those activists are toiling, largely out of the public eye, to persuade Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to treat the possibility of nuclear annihilation as seriously as he does the threat posed by climate change.
They are urging Trudeau to push Canada's NATO allies, who are meeting Tuesday in London, to start talking with non-NATO nuclear states about laying down their atomic arms one day.
Canada doesn't have nuclear weapons but its membership in NATO means it adheres to the 29-country military alliance's nuclear-deterrent policy — that it supports having nuclear weapons in its arsenal essentially because its adversaries have them.
Slim works for an organization that opposes nuclear weapons, and is known for its scrupulous neutrality, so he says he doesn't expect the Trudeau government to suddenly swear off nuclear weapons any time soon. But he wishes someone like 16-year-old Thunberg would come along to get under his skin and tweak the consciences of other leaders who possess or support nuclear weapons.
"There are two big existential issues around the human species at the moment — climate change and nuclear weapons. Climate change has really mobilized young people across the world. Nuclear weapons is still seen as a slightly older persons 1960s, '70s issue. It's hard to galvanize younger people to recognize the risk," Slim said in a recent interview.
"If you look demographically, through history, you'll notice one thing about political change: that it's always young people that drive political change," Slim added. "It's about them seeing things and playing roles as political change-makers, as they always have in human civilization."
VIDEO: "How dare you?" Greta Thunberg addresses UN climate summit
The ICRC is trying to build support for the new Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, which was negotiated in 2017. More than 120 countries support the treaty, and Slim is hopeful 50 countries will ratify it by next year to bring it into force. But it has no support among the countries that possess nuclear weapons — including the United States and its allies, including Canada.
Canada has a credible track record in "weapons diplomacy" in part because it helped lead the international effort in the 1990s that led to a treaty that bans the use of anti-personnel landmines, Slim said.
Slim pointed to what many see as a troubling backslide in international agreements aimed at curbing nuclear proliferation: the Trump administration pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal that now includes Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany; and the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the U.S. and Russia is no more.

Bachelor in Biochemistry
General Program Description About the School FAQ
Biochemistry ›
Read more about this program on the school's website
Are you drawn to the chemistry of life? Biochemistry studies life on the molecular and atomic levels – deep inside of each living organism at its most basic components. It encompasses not only the structures of the chemical components of living matter but also the metabolism of living matter and molecular genetics. If you find that interesting, this might be the major for you.
In the UMW biochemistry major, which you will pursue through the Department of Chemistry, you'll take chemistry, biology, and physics as well as biochemistry lectures and labs. If you choose, there are electives in nutrition and metabolism, the biology of cancer, biochemistry of proteins, and more.
Students are encouraged to pursue research and internship opportunities with such employers as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the American Chemical Society.
I just feel like that's the place where I can help the most people, people who are facing extremely slim odds of making it through their illnesses," Matt Tovar '18 said of his planned work as a neurosurgeon. "I feel that's my calling."
Pursuing graduation with honors in biochemistry requires a 3.25 grade-point average in your chemistry courses and a 3.0 overall GPA. You'll complete an independent research project, then write and defend a thesis. Students accepted for the honors program enroll in Chemistry 491 for four credits in each semester of the senior year.
To receive a bachelor of science degree in biochemistry, you must earn 48 credits from the disciplines of biology and chemistry. You will also need to complete the introductory physics sequence and calculus I and II. You may choose electives tailored to your interests, such as nutrition, cancer research, or others to prepare you for future endeavors.
Each year, the department awards two UMW Foundation research-focused scholarships (Mahoney and Rodgers fellowships) and two more general scholarships (Cook and Crissman scholarships). These are awarded annually on the basis of merit and, in some cases, financial need. In addition, there are three other scholarships that the department offers on a rotating basis with the other science departments (Cope, Gill, and Rimnac scholarships).

Notre Dame vs. Notre Pere – Every Cathedral Will Burn
Image credit: Yahoo news
This week came the shocking news: the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris burned.
We don't have a television, so it was even more surreal for me to happen upon a public TV and sees shots of the iconic cathedral wreathed in flames.
While now it seems only the roof and spire were destroyed, it's something that can't be undone. 850 years of history and more, gone. Some suggest that France does not even have large enough trees to repair the damage.
The whole thing was even more poignant to me since I just watched a video essay about The Hunchback of Notre Dame and how Disney's version (and the other film adaptations) differed from Victor Hugo's original vision…which was basically to focus on the cathedral itself, how architecture was used to convey values, and how the written word was rendering that practice obsolete (video link here – language cautions).
Why bother talking about this? Well, it got me thinking – as many things do…
Buildings Decay
If you've read the books of Kings and Chronicles, you'll recall that the Temple of God that Solomon built in Jerusalem kept needing to be repaired (and the kings Joash, Hezekiah, and Josiah all raised money for that purpose). (See 2 Chron. 24; 2 Kings 17-20; 2 Chron. 29-30; 2 Kings 22-23; and 2 Chron. 34.) Continue reading →

Books 3 and 4—White Mesa!
The post-apocalyptic saga continues with the launch of books 3 and 4 this past week! Even if you haven't read the first two books yet, you can still enjoy these adventures as Ben and Ricco face their own unique struggles in this harsh world.
(Scroll to the bottom for a peak at Gladiator: Chapter 1! Then find them at your favorite retailer, and in your favorite format!)
Ben McConnell has heard all about the New Republic – the rising city-state that plays fast and loose with the deadly z-germ parasite.
Desperate to know more about their medicine and the program that spreads it, he slips into the city to recover a sample for White Mesa's doctors.
Tommy Thaxton worries about Ben…but then, he worries about everything. Then Ben is captured, and he finds his concern well-founded.
When the White Mesa security council deems a rescue attempt too risky, it's up to Tommy and a couple friends to face the dangers of the city and get Ben out.
Can Ben survive the fight ring without stooping to the gangs' standards?
Will Tommy find a way to get Ben home – before he's killed by the New Republic's primitive criminal justice?

*Part of Kindle MatchBook: buy a paperback copy, get the Kindle version free!
**In case you like paperbacks but want an option other than Amazon!
White Mesa seems like a utopia in the midst of a gangland waste.
For Ricco, though, it means rules, chores, and endless lectures on morality from his dad…make that his adoptive dad. After being expelled from the militia and banned from all activities off the family farm, Ricco might only have one choice to make a life of his own: join the New Republic, his homeland's polar opposite in the city.
How could he imagine the consequences his actions will have for his entire world?

1–Burglar
The overcast night was dark except for the glow of the New Republic's border lights, several blocks away. Ben glided from cover to cover down the city street, the echoing of Security patrollers' boots creating a map of movement in his mind. Up ahead, he spotted the low apartment building he'd been making for, a pool of yellow light marking the torch by the front door.
Ben crept alongside the building, and crouched near a basement window. He could hear a sentry pacing and clearing his throat by the front door.
Inside, the Afflicted workers would be fast asleep in their dormitories, while the few guards watching them would be grouped together playing dice. The medical supplies – the Afflicted's daily injection – they kept in one of the side rooms.
That much had been easy to learn, especially with the help of Daisy, the girl who lived across from his apartment. She'd been more than willing to show a new immigrant around the New Republic, and had never asked questions about Ben's eagerness to learn. She did odd jobs and made deliveries for the black market, so her "live and let live" mindset made sense.
Slipping a screw driver out of his pocket, Ben eased it behind the plywood sheet that blocked the ground-level window beside him. It took several moments before it worked free and he leaned it against the wall.
Behind the plywood, two-by-fours spanned the space horizontally. Ben pursed his lips a moment, then rocked back on his hands, gripping the lowest board with his feet.
With a soft crunch, the board yielded. Ben balanced it on his leg for a moment, and pulled it through with his hands, setting it beside the plywood.
For an instant, he thought he detected the thumps of quiet feet on the edge of hearing. It wasn't the first time tonight, but once again when he scanned his surroundings, he couldn't pick up any unnatural movement.
Dismissing the sound, Ben rolled onto his stomach and snaked backward. His feet went through the window into the dark space beyond — then his legs, hips, and torso wormed after.
Ben dropped through the opening and crouched against the interior wall, waiting for his eyes to adjust.
He was in the Afflicted barracks – a place his friend Tommy had spent much too much time in. But short of passing alert guards, fences, (sometimes) electrified wire, and raiding the central HQ complex itself, this was his best bet for grabbing a sample of the medicine.
Whatever weird experiment the New Republic was doing with z-germ, Dr. Radcliff and White Mesa needed to know.
After Tommy's mission in the New Republic – and the sorry wreck he'd been upon his return – the security council had ruled further "interference" with the New Republic too risky. But Dr. Radcliff really, really wanted a sample of the Republic's medicine, Ben and his family had no objections to a covert mission, Ben had gotten a few months' vacation from the militia (possibly with the help of General Thaxton), and boom – here he was, in the middle of the enemy's base.
Assessing his surroundings, Ben found himself in a long, narrow room, tables and benches marching down the middle in orderly rows. Perfect for feeding zombies workers, or the guards who baby-sat them.
Ben glided toward a nearby doorway, ears pricked for any sign he'd been noticed. Muttering and clattering came from behind the door. The dice game.
He moved to the other end of the meal room, where a second door opened into a dark hallway. Feeling his way forward, Ben listened some more. Snoring or breathing sounds came from doors on either hand – the zombies.
How like the apartment building where he himself stayed! That had been a cinch to sneak around in, as well.
Halfway down the hall was a door that must be a broom closet of some kind (from the size and position). Pressing his ear to it, Ben could hear no sounds of breathing or shifting in sleep. When he tried the handle, he found it was locked.
Digging in the cargo pocket of his trousers, Ben fished out a long, skinny bit of metal and knelt beside the lock. Mr. Jones had coached him. He closed his eyes to force himself to work by feel. There wasn't enough light here for his eyes to be any use.
Easy, gentle, twist…click! Ben grinned and tugged at the door, moving slowly to keep the noise down. The door glided open as the whisper of a creak sighed down the hallway.
Ben held his breath, but nothing in the building stirred. Rising, he squeezed himself through the door and blinked around at the new room.
Total darkness filled the internal space. Wishing he had a flashlight from White Mesa, Ben eased the door almost closed and pulled out a legacy lighter that he'd bought from a black marketer at great expense. The expense was because it had several drips of fuel in it still, perhaps scavenged from some abandoned house on the outskirts of the city, or some sealed apartment that had not yet been cracked by raiders.
With a flick of his thumb, light flashed in the room. Fire danced from the end of the lighter, then vanished as Ben let go of the button.
A table stood against the opposite wall. Two steps brought Ben to it. He had seen cabinets underneath it, but he groped on top for a black bag. Holding the lighter in his off hand, he clicked on his light again and poked in the bag, finding several needles, a few damp clothes – and several screw-top glass jars.
Ben grabbed one of these and held it up in his sputtering light. Tommy had described the substance as clear, and this was clear. He didn't see any other samples of drugs around, and at the very least he could deliver it to a White Mesa scavenge team and come back to the Republic pending further instructions. The militia officers hadn't sanctioned his mission, but the teams still stopped by at R6 in case he'd left a message or something.
Shoving his light back into his pocket, and securing the vial of drug, Ben slipped back out the door, pausing to lock it again before continuing down the corridor.
The sounds of the night had not changed. The snores and sighs behind the doors in the hallway continued undisturbed. As Ben pulled himself up through the window he'd entered by and slid the plywood back over it, he smiled.
A presence disturbed his senses. His instincts tingling, he whipped around, his back to the wall. A dark shape lunged at him out of the darkness.
Ben blocked, throwing off the attacker's grab. Having felt roughly where his opponent's head should be, Ben threw a punch. A loud thump against the pavement assured him he'd connected.
Footsteps surrounded him. Ben abruptly bent over to drop his profile and made a dash down the road toward the fence-line.
He rammed into someone with his shoulder, and someone else grabbed him around the neck. As he was throwing the second person against the wall of the building, the light of lanterns burst around a nearby corner.
Ben staggered and blinked, struggling to focus as dark figures darted around in front of the bright flames. Men – wearing the blue uniforms of the Security – surrounded him, most hefting the unloaded legacy rifles that served them as clubs and symbols of authority.
"You're under arrest!"
As Ben was just getting his bearings again, one of the Securitymen threw his arms around him, trying to knock him to the ground.
Ben threw him off, only to trip over another guard and fall to his knees. Someone held a lamp up in his face, forcing him to squint and blink. Four or five others pounced on him, forcing him to the ground and dragging his arms behind him to bind his wrists.
"Ow! What gives?" Ben cried. Since force wasn't an option anymore, he'd go for bluffing.
"Don't you know you're breaking curfew?" demanded a guard from above his head.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Just what were you doing climbing into that building?"
"What building?"
"That one," answered a Securityman with a captain's badge. "That we saw you climbing through the window of."
"Oh, that." It was time for the cover story, apparently. Tommy and Dr. Radcliff had made sure it was deep enough to be convincing.
"Well, I guess the patrols around here are heavier than I figured," he chuckled.
"Actually," muttered one of the guards, "We got a tip."
A tip? From whom? And about what?
"Hey," cried one of the Security as they pulled Ben to his feet. "What's this?"
He unbuttoned the front pocket on Ben's jacket and pulled out the glass bottle of drug Ben had collected.
The captain's glare turned ugly. "We'll see what you have to say about this," he growled. "Back to HQ."
The HQ, eh? The infamous inner compound, where – according to Tommy – the Alderman of Security did his mysterious experiments with ferals. What was waiting for Ben now? And how would he get the vial back?
Ben watched the guard hand it to the captain, who pocketed it. Dr. Radcliff needed that sample to find out exactly what the New Republic was doing with their drone program, and what it meant for the number of ferals in the waste.
With Security surrounding him on all sides, they headed toward the middle of the New Republic, and the main government compound. Ben reviewed in his mind what he was to say – Tommy had helped write the cover explanation, so it must be good.
Besides, even if it didn't work, White Mesa could come get him, as it had come for Tommy. Mr. Grimthorpe and the security council would have conniptions, but whatever. His one worry was what would happen to the drug sample. He needed that, or his mission would be a waste.

'Mimicry' refers to the copying of one organism by another. Some of the most obvious cases of mimicry are where individuals from different species share a colour pattern. This can be two or more defended species sharing one warning ('aposematic') pattern (Mullerian mimicry), and or where a second species copies the warning colours of another, despite lacking any form of defense (Batesian mimicry).
Mimicry differs from camouflage in that it involves sending of signals by the mimic to other organisms whose behaviour the mimic aims to alter, whereas in camouflage or crypsis, an animal tries to not send any signals at all – it is aiming to escape detection.
Mimicry is familiar to us in the warning colours of bees and wasps. Both of these groups of insects defend themselves from predators using stings, and have evolved yellow and black striped patterns to warn potential predators that they are not suitable prey. The bees and wasps are mimicking each others' yellow and black stripes. We call this type of mimicry, where the species involved are all defended, Mullerian mimicry after its discovery by Fritz Muller in 1878. Mullerian mimicry helps predators to quickly learn to avoid unsuitable prey, and defended species quickly converge on a pattern of warning colours.
Not all mimics are defended - some species, such as hoverflies, are 'cheats.' Hoverflies have yellow and black stripes, similar to wasps, but cannot sting. If birds mistake a fly's for a bee or a wasp, the fly will avoid being eaten. Over time, this will lead to evolution of a remarkable similarity between the mimic (hoverfly) and the model (bees and wasps). We call this kind of mimicry, where one non-defended species (the mimic) gains protection by copying a defended species (the model) Batesian mimicry, after the naturalist H W Bates who described it in 1862.

Thread: Getting XP CDONTS to work on IIS, and ASP Forum..
I just got a friend that made me an ASP forum for a site that im developing for a while.
It has alot of features, including support for e-mail.
I go to administrative options of the forum and put that to CDONTS for windows NT/XP, and i make a test, i register on the forum and at the login i put the rong password..them i go to the recover option put my e-mail information and click send, and it says that an e-mail was sent...but when i check the mail box of the adress, thers no message from the server i dont know what to do..can anyone help me out?
We really can't help you unless you provide a code snippet. Is the problem in the script? Is there a POP3 mail server problem? Is the code not providing you with correct feedback?
If the problem lies with the server, there should be some kind of exception or error message thrown. If the code is not designed to handle exception, it may not provide the feedback you need to determine the problem.
If the problem lies with the code, it would be helpful to see the portion involving the actual mailing.
I am not familiar with ASP, but in most other languages, you can catch the exception method and output it for debugging purposes.

In a report Thursday from the Napa Valley Register, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley confirms multiple Napa County residents reported receiving letters from the Social Security Administration confirming a Social Security benefit claim has been made under their Social Security number.
The problem is none of these residents filed any claims for their benefits yet.
How this information was obtained isn't made clear in the report, but as we've written numerous times, the ways a would-be Social Security thief could get this information from a victim are practically endless. And sometimes incredibly easy.
Haley warns Napa, California residents to be on the look-out if they receive any communication from the SSA regarding benefit filing if they haven't yet filed. It may mean their identities have been stolen or sold, as well.
The DA recommends if you see something like this in your mailbox, contact the police, file an identity theft report, and report the suspect theft to the major credit bureaus to prevent further damage to your identity.
You should also contact the Office of the Inspector General at the Social Security Administration right away.
The Seniors Center has a great piece exposing the theft of the Social Security Trust Fund.
Quora Questioner to Dan Perrin: How Much Does Gov't Owe Social Security?
The questions keep coming over at Quora. The latest questioner asks Dan "How much money has the Government borrowed from the Social Security and Medicare Funds." Dan gives a doozy of an answer. Read it here .
Reporters have spilled gallons of ink writing about the likelihood that people like you and me will have to deal with the damaging effects of identity theft related to the Equifax breach.
Even more has been said about what that damage might look like: how thieves will obtain our SSNs, what they might use our identities to open up or steal, and how these activities might follow us into the future and erode our financial health.
Now that we've been blindsided with the news that our SSNs are exposed–and had been for MONTHS before we were made aware–the big question is how and to what extent can we protect ourselves?
Assume you are part of the breach–because you probably are.
Original estimates put the amount of people affected at 143 million, but just days ago, Equifax revealed another 2.5 million people may have also been compromised.
With this kind of volume, it's a mistake to think your information wasn't part of the compromise. Around half of the people in the United States are affected–whether or not you should be prepared for credit fraud ultimately boils down to a coin toss.
What isn't a question is protecting yourself now–before something happens–is far more effective and easier than waiting until after you've discovered fraudulent activity.
So, assume you've been compromised. Take steps right now to shield yourself and you'll hopefully spare yourself a ton of frustration and anxiety later.
What you can do before your identity is stolen.
Get credit monitoring. Usually for a small monthly fee, there are several credit monitoring services available to consumers. These agencies will routinely review your credit report with an eye toward unusual changes or inconsistencies that may be flags for fraudulent activity. You will be notified about new accounts opened in your name, changes to existing account information, and any hard credit checks that might indicate someone attempting to get a loan, a credit card, or some other kind of service.
Keep in mind credit monitoring will not protect you from actual theft. It simply helps to keep you abreast of activity on report so you can act quickly if something isn't right. The sooner you act, the better your ability to reverse and prevent further damage.
To make amends for the breach, Equifax is currently offering 12 months of free credit monitoring.
Freeze your credit. For around $10, you can contact each of the Big Three credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, Experian) and request a credit freeze. Also called a security freeze, this makes things substantially harder for an identity thief and is one of the best tools in your arsenal to prevent theft.
A credit freeze locks access to your credit report. Under a freeze, lenders and other companies that need to perform credit checks before offering services are blocked from pulling your report, and therefore unable to issue credit in many cases. This could block a thief from obtaining a loan or credit card in your name.
But credit freezes aren't totally perfect. They won't stop a thief from editing existing or using existing accounts. And they don't block everyone from accessing your report (if you've already worked with an institution, they may be excluded from the freeze).
If you're planning on applying for a new utility service, a mortgage, a car loan, a new apartment, or new job, a credit freeze can also block people you want to access your report. So unless you have no plans to make life moves that involve credit checks, a credit freeze may not be an option.
If you do need to lift a credit freeze, be aware that thawing your credit can sometimes be a lengthy process. In the event of an emergency purchase for which you may need credit quickly, a credit thaw could do as much harm as good.
Credit freezes do not negatively affect your credit score.
Place an initial fraud alert on your account. Like a credit freeze, placing a fraud alert on your account can be done with any of the Big Three credit bureaus. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows consumers to put a fraud alert on their account for free.
A fraud alert doesn't lock access to your report, but rather flags it as at risk for fraudulent activity for any creditors pulling your report. These creditors will handle that report with increased scrutiny, taking extra measures to verify your identity.
While it doesn't prevent someone from opening an account in your name, it does put your report under a magnifying glass should someone try. A thief is much more likely to be caught when your report is flagged in this way.
There are three kinds of fraud alerts. If you are thinking of requesting a fraud alert before you've been victimized–an "initial" fraud alert–the duration is 90 days.
Seniors are particularly at risk.
We've talked a little bit about what can happen if an identity thief decides to try and collect your Social Security benefits–not only is it very possible, but it's incredibly easy to do with just a few pieces of basic information and your SSN.
But any attempt on the identity and financial information of seniors deals double damage. Not only do seniors have to deal with all of the same repercussions as younger Americans, but in many cases, they also won't have the means or ability to repair or protect their credit.
An adult on a fixed, small income has to make a big sacrifice to pay for the services required to fix the damage or prevent the theft in the first place. And once the damage is done, the aftermath can hit a senior much harder–they may have no way to keep themselves afloat or walk back what was done.
And sadly, identity thieves are fond of targeting seniors. Retirees offer more opportunities to cash in: thieves can take advantage of Social Security payments, retirement savings accounts flush with cash, and the fact that many seniors aren't making big financial decisions that would prompt them to check their credit reports regularly.
Be very vigilant. At the very least, take advantage of your free credit report per year to keep track of your data on your own. And be prepared to act quickly if you see something you shouldn't.
According to White House cybersecurity coordinator Rob Joyce, the government may already be considering a departure from the use of Social Security numbers as identification.
Speaking at the 2017 Washington Post Cybersecurity Summit yesterday, Joyce confirmed the Trump Administration has asked federal officials to put their heads together and come up with a plan to significantly change the way we identify citizens–namely by dropping the SSN completely.
These revelations come in the continuing chaos that is the Equifax breach fallout. The breach–one of the worst in history–has exposed the SSNs and associated personal data of 143 million Americans to identity thieves.
Chances are good if you've worked or are currently working in the U.S., those nine little digits that control your entire work, financial, and credit history are currently up for grabs somewhere on the dark web.
With your SSN and a few key pieces of identifying information, thieves have all they need to drain your bank account, take out credit cards and loans in your name, open utility accounts, obtain pricey medical treatments, and even file for your tax refund.
For soon-to-be Social Security beneficiaries, identity theft can be particularly nasty. Imagine filing for your retirement benefits only to find that "you" have already been receiving Social Security payments for several years.
Or you file for disability or supplemental Social Security benefits and your claim is denied outright due to someone claiming earnings under your SSN (these earnings may exceed what is allowed by supplemental, and to claim disability, one cannot have claimed significant earnings since the onset of the disability).
These realities are painful for victims who had absolutely no say in the matter. We didn't leave our doors unlocked or carelessly hand our information to strangers–and when it comes to credit reporting, the Big Three credit bureaus have our SSNs and identifying information whether we like it or not.
Smith, who was at the helm of Equifax for the past 12 years, stepped down following the breach.
Joyce and others in the government are currently floating a variety of alternatives to phase out the SSN. For himself, Joyce is in favor of a modern cryptographic public-private key system that would prevent thieves from ever converting your complex key back into your actual identifier.


The Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 1601 et seq. ) is federal statute designed to protect borrowers of money by mandating complete disclosure of the terms and conditions of finance charges in transactions; by limiting the GARNISHMENT of wages; and by regulating the use of charge accounts.
The Consumer Credit Protection Act was the first general federal CONSUMER PROTECTION legislation. Title I of this law, known as the TRUTH-IN-LENDING ACT (15 U.S.C.A. § 1601 et seq. ), requires that the terms in CONSUMER CREDIT transactions be fully explained to the prospective debtors. Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, known as the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT (15 U.S.C.A. § 1601 et seq. ), applies to businesses that regularly obtain consumer credit information for other businesses. Its purpose is to ensure that consumer reporting activities are conducted in a manner that is fair and equitable to the affected consumer.
Whereas the Consumer Credit Protection Act is federal law, states have also passed many statutes regulating consumer credit. For example, the UNIFORM CONSUMER CREDIT CODE (UCCC) is an initiative that was drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1968 to help provide consistency among the variety of consumer credit laws that exist throughout state jurisdictions. The purpose of the UCCC is threefold: to protect consumers obtaining credit to finance transactions; to ensure that adequate credit is provided; and to generally govern the credit industry. As of 2003, the UCCC had been adopted in only seven states and Guam. Many states, however, continue to enact legislation that would provide consumer debtors similar protections contained in the provisions of the UCCC.

New research indicates that stress hormones can assist breast cancer to develop, increase, and diversify, which makes it challenging to treat. Research suggests that when these stress hormones are highly present, they activate glucocorticoid receptors. This triggers cancer cells' spread and supports their diversification.

Weather & Arthritis in Senior Pets | Frontier Veterinary Hospital, P.C.
As the weather turns cold again, you may notice your cat or dog's arthritis causing them more discomfort than normal. Although scientific research is limited on the effects of weather on arthritis, many pet owners (and sufferers) dealing with arthritis would agree that the change of season can cause additional stiffness or pain.
There are many different types and causes of arthritis or arthritis-like symptoms, including some diseases, so it's important always to have a veterinarian do a full exam on your pet, especially at the first sign of symptoms. Your veterinarian can recommend a course of treatment to ease his or her discomfort. If, however, your pet has long been diagnosed with arthritis, it is generally best just to create a comfortable environment for your dog or cat for the cold winter months.
Your dog or cat may be quite a bit stiffer than normal. If their joints become overly achy, they will often have difficulty getting up, moving around, or jumping. Be patient with him or her; often those stiff joints will loosen up as they move around and they will be able to move more freely. Be aware of his or her limits.
Create a warm and cozy place for them to sleep and rest. Just as humans feel achy after sleeping on a hard floor, dogs and cats too will move easier if they sleep on something soft and supportive. Many companies now offer beds made of materials like memory foam, or have a built-in heating pad, that can ease some of your pet's pain.
The abrupt change between hot and cold weather, or when the climate is very wet and humid, can cause your pet's joints to become swollen and tender. To help prevent this, it is important to be consistent with the treatment plan, which often includes an anti-inflammatory and/or pain medication. If your pet is experiencing signs above what is normal, consult your veterinarian. Medication given to pets are specifically formulated, and the dosage should never been changed or increased without a doctor's okay.
If your pet has not been on a prescription but is now experiencing pain, never give him or her human painkillers without consulting your veterinarian's office. Cats and dogs react very differently to medications, and what may be a low dose for humans can be toxic and lethal to your pet.
Above all else, keep a close eye on your pet. If a change in your pet's mobility or attitude concerns you, do not hesitate to contact us.


The digital protection of electrical power apparatus has been an active area of research for the past twenty years. These research results are being utilized in some of the digital relay designs. The digital protection of power transformers requires complex calculations and logic, hence the use of a digital processor seems to be natural and attractive. -- A stand-alone prototype digital protective relay for power transformer protection has been designed, implemented and tested successfully. The prototype digital relay integrates up to three different relaying functions in a single relay. Any changes to the relay operating characteristic can be carried out simply in the software without tampering with the hardware. The relay hardware is designed in two different boards namely, the data acquisition and the digital processing boards. The data acquisition board consists of seven identical circuits each having a scaling circuit, a sixth order Chebyshev anti-aliasing filter and a sample-and-hold circuit. All the seven signals are then multiplexed and connected to an A/D converter. The digital processing board consists of a TMS320E15 digital signal processor. -- The relay software program is developed for the complete three phase percentage differential relay with second harmonic restraint for inrush and fifth harmonic restraint for overexcitation. The primary and secondary ground fault protection is also provided. The software is written in modular form such that any relay algorithm can be used by simply changing only one subroutine. The present relay design utilizes the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to extract the current harmonics. -- The prototype digital relay was tested extensively in the laboratory for a duration of three months. The results of these tests show that the relay always cleared all the faults that were applied on the transformer and the relay never maloperated.

Wolf administration seeks to finish off the Senate GOP's languishing 2020 election inquiry
By Carter Walker
Votebeat
This article is made possible through Spotlight PA's collaboration with Votebeat, a nonpartisan news organization covering local election administration and voting. This article is available for reprint under the terms of Votebeat's republishing policy.
The Wolf administration is looking to decisively quash a request by state Senate Republicans for sensitive voter information that the lawmakers made as part of an inquiry into the 2020 election, which they falsely charged was fraudulent.
In a motion filed Monday, the Pennsylvania Department of State and attorney general's office asked the state's Commonwealth Court to dismiss as moot last year's request to turn over voters' partial Social Security and driver's license numbers.
They argued that because the most recent legislative session ended on Nov. 30, the state Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee's authority and the subpoenas it issued have effectively expired. The brief quotes opposing counsel's remarks at a hearing in June, when Republican lawyers said the subpoena would expire on that date.
The committee nonetheless plans to challenge the motion, according to Matt Haverstick, an attorney who represents the Republicans on the panel.
The subpoenas are just one part of a long-languishing review by state Senate Republicans of the 2020 general and 2021 primary elections, an ongoing endeavor that took them as far away as Arizona and led to intraparty feuds that played out in the primary race for governor.
The committee had also agreed to a contract in 2021 worth more than $250,000 with a little-known limited liability company, Envoy Sage, to examine that data if and when it came, and also to investigate tips of fraud and third-party election interference.
It isn't clear whether the company ever performed any work. A phone number for Envoy Sage was perpetually busy, and the company didn't respond to an email. Votebeat and SpotlightPA have requested records from the Pennsylvania Treasury showing how much the company was actually paid, but have not yet received them.
But the direction of the inquiry in 2023, or if it will even continue, is unknown.
A through line for the session
The inquiry began in July 2021 when state Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, acting as chair of the committee, took up former President Donald Trump's call for a "forensic audit" of the 2020 election and sent letters to three counties requesting election materials from them for auditing purposes.
The move caused some to bristle, and Mastriano did not last long as chair. Then Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre, replaced him with state Sen. Cris Dush, R-Jefferson.
Earlier in the summer, Dush and Mastriano had visited Maricopa County, Arizona, to tour an election review that Senate Republicans were conducting there.
Once Dush took over, the committee's focus turned to the Department of State. In September 2021, it issued a subpoena to the agency requesting the names, addresses, driver's licenses, and partial Social Security numbers of all Pennsylvania voters, as well as all communications between state elections officials and elections officials in all 67 counties. That fall is also when the committee signed the contract with Envoy Sage.
The request for voters' private information drew strong rebuke from Senate Democrats, the Department of State, attorney general's office, and nonprofits, who collectively sued in Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court to block it, arguing it violated the Pennsylvania Constitution's provision on a citizen's right to privacy, among other things.
The inquiry mostly stalled as the case wound its way through the court over the next year, eventually resulting in oral arguments before a three-judge panel this September.
Lawyers for Senate Democrats and the Department of State argued at the hearing that Republicans had not clearly articulated why they needed the information, but Republican lawyers argued the Senate committee should be given "the benefit of the doubt" that it can be trusted.
Judges on the panel seemed sympathetic to the argument that the committee's subpoena was necessary to its ability to investigate and craft legislation, local NPR affiliate WITF reported at the time, but the court has not issued a ruling in the three months since that hearing.
Clifford Levine, a lawyer for Senate Democrats, said he would have anticipated a ruling by now. He also said he thinks there are still questions surrounding the inquiry that Republican senators should answer, namely how much it has cost taxpayers.
The Commonwealth Court will now consider the Department of State's motion to dismiss, though it isn't clear when that decision will come.
It is also unclear whether the committee will continue with the underlying inquiry at all, even if the court allows the subpoenas to remain in force.
Republicans still hold the majority in the chamber and will make assignments to the Senate intergovernmental committee in early January. Dush (R., Jefferson), who led the inquiry, did not return a call seeking comment this week. A spokesperson for interim Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R., Westmoreland) did not return a call seeking comment Thursday.
Levine is skeptical the inquiry will continue in the next session, given that the politics of the moment have shifted.
"You have a new president pro tempore in Ward rather than Corman, and you don't have Mastriano running and that was part of the politics of it," he said.
There is also no currently active contract between the Senate and Envoy Sage, according to the state's contract database.
State Sen. Art Haywood, D-Montgomery, said things have been in a holding pattern as both sides awaited the court's ruling. Haywood and his wife joined the suit in their capacity as private citizens and voters not wanting their information to be released.
He said he has supported well-meaning election reform in the past, but the subpoena and resulting litigation make him suspicious of the inquiry's aims.
"We would be in support of the motion to dismiss," he said. "At one time, there was a big sense that [the subpoena] was urgent and something had to be done now. And now we're a year later and nothing has been released, so the whole urgency I think is over."
