INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FL (WFLX) - Moner Abusalha hadn't been living with his family in Indian River County for quite some time. In fact, he had only been in touch with them briefly over the past year.
But growing up in the area, he did have many friends, like Trenton Finch.
He couldn't believe the news that the person he used to play video games with was apparently involved in some real life destruction.
The State Department said Friday that Abusalha carried out a suicide bombing in Syria. "I wouldn't expect him to be the guy to do something like that," Finch said.
Abusalha went to high school at Sebastian River. "He was a pretty normal kid, Finch said.
Yearbooks show as a freshman, he played on the JV basketball team. "Me and my brother would play basketball with him and I had been to his house a few times," Finch said.
A sophomore photo in 2009 is the last one from high school. "I used to hang out with him every once in a while. We would play Xbox and stuff," said former friend Brandon Taylor.
In the fall of 2010, Abusalha went to Indian River State College, taking classes in the college's physical therapy assistant program. He transferred to Seminole State College in Sanford where he was last registered in 2012.
Family members had no comment Monday.

PENANG: The MCA is in no hurry to decide the fate of its minister and two deputy ministers who had lost in the party election last month, said party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
Ong, who called on every party member to be patient, said the time will come for him to announce the positions which included the secretary-general and state liaison chiefs.
"I will announce the party leadership line up after the central committee meeting on Tuesday (11 Nov)," he told reporters after officiating the Fourth Penang South-West Regional Primary school Chinese Speech-giving competition in Balik Pulau, here Saturday (8 Nov).
He said he had met Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi after the party poll but it was not to discuss the Cabinet reshuffle.
Former Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek won the deputy presidents post, which was also contested by Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan.
Kah Chuans positions as MCA secretary-general and Housing and Local Government Minister remained uncertain following his defeat.
The two deputy ministers are Deputy Home Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung and Deputy Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Teng Boon Soon who lost the contest for the for vice-president and Central Committee member respectively.
Meanwhile, Ong, who is also the Transport Minister, hoped that the school management committees would be able to get their own funds to finance their respective schools.

Insurance claims data provides a highly detailed view of the geographic patterns of damage in hurricanes. We will provide analytics that correlate claims percentages and costs with maximum winds and rainfall during the landfalls of Harvey and Irma. Industry-wide claims data in the aftermath of both hurricanes show that damage rates were much higher in areas with less strict building codes. We will show that coastal areas of Florida and Texas with stronger building codes experienced lower claims percentages than inland areas that experienced similar wind speeds, based on access to homeowners' insurance claims. Detailed wind analysis based on dynamical models, local surface properties, and observations captures the maximum sustained and gusts experienced at each location, as well as the duration of damaging winds. We will discuss the pattern of wind claims activity in Texas from Harvey, and Florida into Georgia from Irma, and how damage rates are modulated by the maximum winds, wind duration, and local building codes.

Story of Us, 1920-1930: Beauty Boom
by Maureen Sheen
The cover of a cosmetics supplement from our June 1928 issue of The American Hairdresser.
L'Oréal Henne was the brand's first packaged henna powder.
This depilatory from Hairgo was advertised to remove hair instantaneously from the underarms.
Just one of many waving lotions on the market.
The first liquid liner from Maybelline available in black or brown for 73 cents.
This depilatory from Pasquier was reputed to remove hair painlessly, and was available for $8 per dozen.
By the 1920s, the beauty industry was picking up speed as many new products and services were introduced.
You can't argue with numbers. In 1921, the Census Bureau reported that approximately $26 million was spent on beauty products. That amount quadrupled by 1925, with more than $117 million spent on perfumes, cosmetics and toiletries. The tremendous growth was due, in large part, to product and service innovations, sophisticated advertising campaigns, the influence of Hollywood actresses and the proliferation of beauty supply stores.
While the bob was a big trend popularized by screen stars in the 1920s, so was curled hair. Women were willing to try anything for curly hair. We ran ads for Fanette Waving Lotion, which enabled stylists to do "finger or swirl waves." Wave Easy Water Wave Fluid left hair clean, not sticky or greasy. We also ran ads from hair color advertisers, like L'Oréal, which marketed Henné, and Paragon Permanent Hair Color. The latter claimed that its product had that indefinable something that Paragon chemists successfully accomplished through tireless experiments and testing on human models.

Also trending at this time was the topic of hair removal. Not only did we feature ads for various hair removal products, we dedicated a number of articles to the subject—from explanations on how hair grows, to removal methods like electrolysis. In an article by Paul M. Kree, it was reported that electrolysis was "the only scientific and safe way for removing undesirable hairs permanently." If only it were that easy. Women and men today are still fighting that battle.

Rival exercises by the Russian armed forces and NATO have led to several near-miss incidents that could result in confrontation between the two sides, and leaders need to consider a new arms control treaty to avert the possibility of heightened tensions spilling into war.
The report by the European Leadership Network, a think tank, comes amid the most intense fighting for six months in eastern Ukraine and as Michael Fallon, the defence minister, pledged to expand a British army training mission to Ukraine.
"We do not suggest that the leadership of either side has made a decision to go to war or that a military conflict between the two is inevitable, but that the changed profile of exercises is a fact and it does play a role in sustaining the current climate of tensions in Europe," the authors write.
The report outlines how both NATO and Russia have primed their forces to respond to an escalation since the Ukraine crisis erupted in early 2014. The preparations include major military exercises by both Russia and NATO that appear designed exclusively to respond to one another's capabilities and potential war plans.
"Whilst spokespeople may maintain that these operations are targeted against only hypothetical opponents, the nature and scale of the operations indicate otherwise," the report writers say.
In both cases, the report writers find, the exercises focused on what the two sides perceive to be their most vulnerable areas, with and Nato moving to defend the Baltic States and Russia rushing reinforcements to the Arctic, its Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, occupied Crimea, and Sakhalin island in the far east.
Allied Shield also included the first deployment of the Very High Readiness Taskforce, a rapid-reaction unit established at the NATO summit in Wales in 2014 in response to the annexation of Crimea.
The exercise, called 'Noble Jump', deployed 2,100 troops in a simulated a response to 'unattibutable infiltration by an ally by irregular or special forces' – essentially the scenario seen in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine since Early 2014.
The report recommends improvements in NATO-Russian communication to avert near misses and suggests working on a new arms treaty to restrict the use of conventional forces in Europe.

A partnership of Arizona State University and the Santa Fe Institute
For over 30 years, the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico has sought to discover, comprehend, and communicate the common fundamental principles underlying complex systems of all types, providing new understanding of profound scientific and societal challenges. This private, not-for-profit, independent research institute and education center, recognized as the birthplace of the science of complex adaptive systems, supports transdisciplinary collaboration among researchers and students from around the world. Several ASU scholars are on the external faculty of SFI or are former SFI postdoctoral fellows. These jointly affiliated scholars and other ASU researchers form the core of the emerging complex systems research and education enterprise at Arizona State University.
Capitalizing on the growing ties between our organizations, we launched the ASU-SFI Center for Biosocial Complex Systems in 2014. This new Center, poised to become a major international incubator of solution-driven transdisciplinary research, brings together scholars from one of the country's most innovative research universities with experts from SFI's worldwide community.
Located on ASU's Tempe campus, the ASU-SFI Center for Biosocial Complex Systems is pursuing joint research and educational programs, which will occur at both ASU and SFI, to broaden and enhance opportunities for stakeholders at both organizations.

We were responsible for the fit out of two floors at 240 Blackfriars Road in Bankside for the UK based legal firm Boodle Hatfield. Boodle Hatfield has been offering legal advice to leading families, businesses and entrepreneurs since 1722. We were also tasked with fitting out a smaller satellite office for the firm which is located at 6 Grosvenor Street in the prestigious area of Mayfair.
The team at the unoccupied 240 Blackfriars Road transformed the ninth and tenth floors with the construction of office space, meeting rooms and a server room. Extensive mechanical and electrical works were carried out which included adapting chilled beams and ceilings, trench heating and installing bespoke lighting and small power installations. At the multi-tenanted 6 Grosvenor Street, works were carried out to the second floor of the building. We created open plan office space, meeting rooms with movable partition walls, a reception area, a communications room and a beverage area.
"I should like to congratulate the ISG team on delivering a first-class project on the fit out of our new office in Bankside. The ISG team kept us well informed on progress and were excellent at coming up with solutions when changes were required in a calm and efficient manner. They were extremely committed and worked long hours in the final weeks to ensure that the deadline was met."


That wasn't necessarily the intention – although The Curmudgeon (and others) might reasonably argue otherwise – but that was certainly the result when the Supreme Court in 2013 overturned a provision in the Voting Rights Act that required certain states with a history of infringing on the voting rights of minorities to run any proposed changes in their election laws by the U.S. Justice Department to ensure that those proposed changes weren't discriminatory. The Justice Department had long had the authority to reject any such changes it felt were discriminatory and it exercised that authority more than 700 times just between 1982 and 2006.
The very (mostly) southern states that bristled under the Justice Department's watchful eye for more than 40 years didn't waste any time getting down to the business of making it harder for poor people, and people of color, to vote, as the November/December 2016 edition of the magazine Mother Jones explained.
After the 5-4 Shelby decision, states passed a torrent of new voting restrictions that overwhelmingly affected minorities. On the day the decision was handed down, Texas announced that the only two forms of state voter identification it would accept were a driver's license or a gun license—a measure the DOJ had previously blocked. Georgia moved some municipal elections in predominantly minority areas from November to May, depressing turnout by nearly 20 percent in one instance. Alabama implemented a strict voter ID law—and then shut down driver's license offices in every county where more than 75 percent of voters were African American. Perhaps the most blatant was North Carolina's omnibus voting law. Passed shortly after the Shelby decision, the law imposed strict ID requirements, limited the registration window, and dramatically cut early voting during times traditionally used by African Americans.
The actions of some of these states have been so outrageous that lower courts have, in a few cases, ignored the Supreme Court's decision and ruled some of the states' new policies unconstitutional – even courts in states like North Carolina and Texas.
Think about it: how bad does a law infringing on voting rights have to be for judges in North Carolina and Texas – Texas! – to throw them out?
Pretty damn bad, but then, that's what happens when the Supreme Court, led by John Roberts, who has long had his sights set on overturning the protection poor and minority voters enjoyed in southern states – reaches the utterly ridiculous conclusion that racism is gone in the south and it's time to free southern states to regulate their own elections without federal oversight.
And even with the resistance from a few brave southern courts, it's probably going to get even worse now that the Justice Department is being led by a man whom Congress rejected for the federal bench 30 years ago because it decided he was too racist to be a judge.

State of Alaska Witnesses – Child Rapist Striking a Deal is "Credible"
In the State of Alaska response to the September 2013 filing asserting innocence of the Fairbanks Four, two issues are of central focus: credibility and hearsay.
Indeed, hearsay and witnesses with questionable credibility are central to the state's case. Without purchased testimony and hearsay, there would never have been a case against the Fairbanks Four at all. The State of Alaska claimed in their filing that the principle witnesses put forth by the Innocence Project were not credible primarily because both men had criminal histories. The state further argues that the men did not come forward at times when they could have potentially negotiated for leniency in their own crimes, putting forth the theory that the testimony of an individual is more credible if the individual has been bribed with an offer of reduced sentences or charges in their own crimes. The argument flies in the face of common sense and begs the question – who exactly does the State of Alaska find credible? Below is one example of the kind of individual who provided testimony against the Fairbanks Four in the trials that led to their wrongful conviction. This, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of a person deemed reliable in the eyes of the State.
credibility. noun. the quality or power of inspiring belief
Joshua Bradshaw.
In early 1998 Joshua Bradshaw was in jail on charges of felony child sexual abuse. He was accused of raping a five year old child. Following contact with the Fairbanks Police Department, Bradshaw testified at trial that he heard Eugene Vent say "[w]e didn't mean to kick John Hartman to death."
If a formal and written plea agreement was made between the State of Alaska, not disclosing that agreement would be a violation of the Fairbanks Four's constitutional right to a fair trial. Such an agreement has never surfaced. Such an agreement would have been created and kept within the Fairbanks Police Department or District Attorney's office, whose ability to take appropriate action with documentation related to this case recently came under fire when it was revealed that they had failed to disclose an murder confession from William Holmes received in 2011.
By way of explaining the murder confession that never made its way into the record, FPD Detective Nolan gracefully explained that he should have investigated it but, "basically, uh, never completed it." If an agreement for leniency existed for Bradshaw or others, perhaps they meant to disclose it and, basically, uh, didn't.
Despite there being no record of an agreement for Bradshaw to receive leniency in exchange for his testimony, the judge who ruled in his case found that he had indeed penetrated a child. He was sentenced to seven years, with all but just over two years suspended. The judge gave only one explanation for the extraordinary sentence – "assisting authorities."
According to a reliable source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Bradshaw had experienced severe mental health issues since early childhood and was placed in a program for emotionally disturbed children during his primary school years. His behaviors included pathological lying, violence, fecal smearing, and inappropriate sexual behaviors.
With that in mind, consider the following:
The most serious and chronic offenders often show signs of antisocial behavior as early as elementary school years.
– American Psychiatric Association, 1994; was in Juvenile Justice Bulletin: Nov 1998 OJJDP: U.S. Department of Justice
The behavior is highly repetitive, to the point of compulsion, rather than resulting from a lack of judgment.
– Dr. Ann Burges, Dr. Nicholas Groth, et al. in a study of imprisoned offenders
Like rape, child molestation is one of the most underreported crimes: only 1-10% are ever disclosed.
– FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin
Given the extreme nature of the charges Bradshaw faced, coupled with the fact that he possessed so many of the characteristics that indicate a high probability of recidivism, it would have been reasonable to expect that Joshua Bradshaw would re-offend. Child sexual abuse is under-reported and it is statistically likely that in the years that Bradshaw SHOULD have spent in prison that he may have victimized more children and further likely that the crime would remain unknown and not of record. Certainly he received leniency. If his testimony was purchased with an offer of leniency, the price may have indeed been much higher for any child he victimized during that time. Whether or not he did victimize another young child during the years of freedom granted for "assisting authorities," certainly anyone involved with negotiating or encouraging that leniency would have known that another offense was likely. He was eventually convicted of attempted murder in 2006 for shooting a man in the head after the victim's friend stole an ounce of marijuana from Bradshaw.
Did the State of Alaska release a man who raped a five year old child back into our community to aid in the prosecution and imprisonment of innocent men?
Did Bradshaw inspire your belief?
Is the State of Alaska credible?

As this case progresses, the egregious behavior of the individuals representing the legal and justice system of the State of Alaska will surely come to light. I thought i knew this case backward and forward…I did not know the background of this man. Shocking and disgusting.

The entire mess just gets curiouser and curiouser. It's as if the entire justice system dug a hole and refuse to admit they are deep inside. Climb out, admit your mistakes and free these men.

Who wrote The Pembrokeshire Murders: Catching the Bullseye Killer and when was it published?
A SERIES of murders that took place in Pembrokeshire, Wales inspired a new ITV series.
But the crimes were actually documented in a book first.
Who wrote The Pembrokeshire Muders: Catching the Bullseye Killer?
The Pembrokeshire Muders: Catching the Bullseye Killer is a book written by Steve Wilkins.
Steve was the senior detective on the case, who in the ITV adaption is portrayed by Luke Evans.
Now retired, Steve is 61 and lives in Cheshire.
Steve has said he "never intended to write a book", but only wanted to "give an accurate, sensitive record" of the serial killings.
At the time of the case being reexamined, he had just returned to Dyfed-Powys Police after spending two years working with the National Criminal Intelligence Service.
He wanted to take a look at the case again due to DNA successes that were taking place nationally on previously unsolved crimes.
Speaking to Wales Online he said: "When they came and said 'Luke Evans is going to be in it' I was really surprised that someone like him wanted to do it. When I met him I realised why."
He said he was happy with the way ITV portrayed the real life events.
"I was lucky enough to go and see a number of the filming days with him [Luke Evans] and Keith Allen and the rest of the team and they were great.
"I looked at it as I wanted to maintain the relationship I have with the families and they were very sensitive.
"What I didn't want was anything that was sensationalism so they stuck very closely to the details."
The book was published in 2013.
John Cooper was found guilty of his crimes in 2011.
The book has lots of five star ratings online, with people calling it "gripping".
How can I watch The Pembrokeshire Murders on TV?
The final episode of The Pembrokeshire Murders will air tonight (January 13) on ITV 1 at 9pm.
The previous two episodes in the miniseries can be caught up with on the ITV Hub.
Tonight's episode will conclude the story and show the end of John Cooper's journey before being found guilty.

Q: C# what does the == operator do in detail? in c# what does exactly happen in the background when you do a comparison with the "==" operator on two objects? does it just compare the addresses? or does it something like Equals() or CompareTo() ?
PS: what about the "==" operator in java? does it behave the same?

A: As an extension to Stefan's excellent answer - another exception is if the operands involve Nullable<T> - in which case "lifted" operators apply (14.2.7 in ECMA 334v4):

For the equality operators
  == !=
a lifted form of an operator exists if the operand types are both
  non-nullable value types and if the
  result type is bool. The lifted form
  is constructed by adding a single ?
  modifier to each operand type. The
  lifted operator considers two null
  values equal, and a null value unequal
  to any non-null value. If both
  operands are non-null, the lifted
  operator unwraps the operands and
  applies the underlying operator to
  produce the bool result.

What that means is: because there is an equality operator between (say):
int i = ..., j = ...;
bool eq = i == j;

Thus there is an implicit operator of the form (although done differently):
int? i = ..., j = ...;
bool eq;
if(i.HasValue) {
    if(j.HasValue) { // both have values; compare
       eq = i.GetValueOrDefault() == j.GetValueOrDefault();
    } else { // one null; always false
       eq = false;
    }
} else { // true if both null, else false
    eq = !j.HasValue;
}

A: From MSDN:

For predefined value types, the
  equality operator (==) returns true if
  the values of its operands are equal,
  false otherwise. For reference types
  other than string, == returns true if
  its two operands refer to the same
  object. For the string type, ==
  compares the values of the strings.

A: No ... the == operator does not always behave the same in java and in c#.
For example with Strings; Java == does compare the references of the string objects... (if you use primitve types, == in java compares the values). That's why
// returns FALSE in JAVA
(new String("test") == "test")

will not return true in java...
In C# in contrast, the == operator does behave different on strings. For example, it will return true in the following case:
// returns TRUE in C#
(new String("test".ToCharArray()) == "test")

A: As far as I know:

*

*it compares value types by value (equality)

*it compares reference types by reference (identity)

*except if the == operator is overloaded, then it calls that one.

Equals is implemented in object and can be overridden as well. The default implementation in Object performs a reference comparison for reference types. So by default, Equals and == do the same.
I think in java you cannot overload the == operator. But my Java knowledge is pretty outdated.
Edit:
Note that the == operator is a static method. It is bound at compile time, base on the types of your variables or fields. Equals is a virtual method that is found at runtime, based on actual runtime types.

A: What it does depends on the context.
http://en.csharp-online.net/ECMA-334:_14.9_Relational_and_type-testing_operators

A: The behavior of == operator depends how the variable you are applying it to was declared (not on the class of the object, I'll add an example).
For value types it will compare their values.
For reference types a == b returns true if a is the same object as b, unless the == operator was overloaded. Not overridden as others said, you can't override operators in c# because they are not virtual.

            object obj_a, obj_b;
            string str_a, str_b;
        str_a = "ABC";
        str_b = new string("ABC".ToCharArray());
        obj_a = str_a;
        obj_b = str_b;

        Console.WriteLine("str_a == str_b = {0}", str_a == str_b); // in string == operator is overloaded
        Console.WriteLine("str_a.Equals(str_b) = {0}", str_a.Equals(str_b)); // string overrides Object.Euqals
        Console.WriteLine("obj_a == obj_b = {0}", obj_a == obj_b); // in object == operator is not overloaded
        Console.WriteLine("obj_a.Equals(obj_b) = {0}", obj_a.Equals(obj_b)); // Object.Equesl is virtual and overridden method from string will be executed.
        Console.ReadKey();

The output of that program is

str_a == str_b = True
str_a.Equals(str_b) = True
obj_a == obj_b = False
obj_a.Equals(obj_b) = True

This bill would also tax all e-liquids, "whether or not it contains nicotine intended for use in the device." Gov. J.B. Pritzker who is pushing the bill, said he hopes that the revenue from the tax would "balance his budget proposal." On the other hand, harm reduction advocate Lindsey Stroud from the Heartland Institute, like many before her, has pointed out that regulating e-cigarettes as tobacco products, when they are proven to be safer alternatives to tobacco cigarettes sends the wrong message and ultimately does a disservice to public health.
Right on the heels of news of a proposed 92% e-cig tax in Vermont, last February Utah lawmakers also proposed an unreasonable 86.5% tax on vaping products. Stroud insists that while addressing youth vaping is commendable, draconian taxes placed on tobacco harm reduction (THR) products which would threaten the public health gains e-cigarettes provide, are not.
"An analysis that estimated the potential benefits that would occur if all current Medicaid recipients who use combustible tobacco were to switch to e-cigarettes found that Medicaid savings could have amounted to $48 billion in 2012. A smaller study found Medicaid savings "would be approximately $2.8 billion per 1 percent of [Medicaid] enrollees" over the next 25 years," she added.
Additionally, explained the harm reduction expert, such taxes will no doubt hurt the local vape industries. "After Pennsylvania passed a 40 percent wholesale tax on e-cigarettes in 2016, an estimated 120 vape shops closed. It is estimated that vape shops "generate annual non-online sales of more than $300,00 per store" and average $26,000 in monthly sales. The proposed legislation would likely drive current and new vapers to turn to internet-based distributors. E-cigarette online sales grew 41.3 percent from 2016 to 2017, from $345 million to $487.7 million," she explained.

Leith Street Furniture - Fountains, etc.
1. On the corner of Mill Lane and Great Junction Street, Leith. It was a cast iron pillar in design, about 4 feet high with a half bowl protrusion at its base for dogs.
2. On the corner of Waverley Bridge and Princes Street.
3. At St Margaret's Well, at the base of Salisbury Crags, opposite Holyrood Palace. It had cast iron drinking cups attached to a chain. I remember using this as a kid.
* I expect others may well think of more drinking fountains that were around the city in the 1950s: e.g. Inverleith Park and other parks, Greyfriars' Bobby, one or more of the streets leading to the north from Princes Street.
"I recall there being a drinking fountain on the corner of Princes Street and one of the streets leading to George Street. I'm pretty certain it wasn't Castle Street ,so was either Frederick or Hanover Street (I think Frederick).
It was there until some time into the 1970s as I remember it as a young boy. (I was born in '1966). It was one of those drinking fountains where you hold down a button and a jet of water sqooshes into the air. (It was a terrible faux pas to put your mouth anywhere near the nozzle!)"
1. Opposite Elm Row, , next to the park at Gayfield Square.
These were sited throughout the city for working Clydesdale horses. As kids, we would sail paper boats in the troughs."
1. Yardheads, Leith, in the section behind Tiso Mini Market on Great Junction Street. This was when Yardheads used to link up with King Street.
2. St Andrew Street at the corner of Henderson Street, Leith.
3. Underground urinal in the centre of the street near the Leith Walk end of Albert Street.
4. Opposite Elm Row, at Gayfield Square.
I also remember large underground urinals in front of Register House, lit partly by glazed panels on the pavement. Their entrance was near the corner of Register Street and Princes Street.
** These were gents toilets, but not Victorian, cast iron, so far as I know. There were many toilets for use by tram and bus drivers / conductors / inspectors throughout Edinburgh, often near the tram and bus termini.
"Another type of street furniture that might be considered is Railings.
Unfortunately, I think bits were removed for the war effort, but still some people may have interesting photos or knowledge of the same.
Despite all the railings that were removed for the war effort, there are still many railings in place, particularly around Edinburgh New Town.
Some railings have been reinstated in recent years. e.g. around the Art Galleries at the Foot of the Mound.
I think, as Bob suggests, if we were to include 'Railings' on this page it might be best to confine the list to give only some of the more prominent railings, particularly those that have been lost - ideally with photos of the railings.

Boys 15: Day 3 Recap
By Brandon Spratt, 06/17/19, 1:15PM CDT
Dryland training, weights and day 3 of round robin games.
Day 3 shifts the focus to off-ice work including stretching, conditioning and weightlifting.
Day 3 began with a goaltenders only practice in the early morning. The focus of day three included dryland training at Husky Stadium and weight training at the arena. The teams also took to the diamond to play rag ball on a gorgeous Minnesota summer day. Inside, the standings continued to take shape in the third round of games.
Red (1) vs. White (1)
We saw the most defensive-minded game to date as Red and White ended in a 1-1 tie. The two teams played to the first scoreless opening period of the week, with Red having the best chance and clanking the iron late in the half.
Red took the lead 6:54 into the second half, but white leveled the score 1-1 with 6:40 to play. Neither team scored with the man advantage, with Red going 0-3 and White 0-2. Both goalies played well with 18 saves on 19 shots in the second half. White has yet to win a game, but they haven't lost either in collecting three points from three ties.
Box Score here
Teams White and Red kicked off Day 3 with a 1-1 tie.
Green (4) vs. Light Blue (1)
Green continues to roll as they picked up their third win in a row. Green took a 2-0 lead on two goals just over one minute apart in the first half. They would carry a three-goal lead into the intermission, but Light Blue got on the board 4:30 into the second half. Green sealed the win with a fourth goal with about four minutes to play.
Green went 1-for-4 on the power play, and killed off both chances for Light Blue. Green outshot Light Blue 40-28 in the win. Green has scored 10 goals in the first half of its three games, only one other team has more than three (Gold with seven).
Team Green on the attack in its game against Team Light Blue. Green improved to 3-0-0 with the 4-1 win.
Royal (5) vs. Gold (2)
Teams Royal Blue and Gold played the nightcap on Monday night.
Gold took an early lead with 17:47 remaining in the first half, but royal Blue took command soon after. Royal tied the game with 14:59 to go in the half, and struck three more times in the period to take a 4-1 lead. Gold answered to cut the deficit to two goals with 1:05 left in the frame.
The second period saw much less action, with Royal scoring the only goal early in the period with 20:46 to play. Gold went 0-for-3 on the power play and Royal went 0-for-2. Royal outshot Gold 30-23.
Standings & Breakdown
We still have three undefeated teams, and also three winless teams. One of those teams happens to belong to both categories!
There seems to be three tiers of teams developing, but with two round robin opponents to go there is still opportunities to move yourself up a tier. Royal Blue and Red will play tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. with a big chance for Red to move into the top two, but also a chance for Royal to solidify its spot in the championship game. Gold and Light Blue play at 1:45 p.m. giving both teams a crucial shot at two points. Finally, Green will try to make it four in a row against White, a team that has not won or lost a game yet! See you tomorrow from St. Cloud.
Green 3-0-0 (6 points)
Royal Blue 2-0-1 (5 points)
Red 1-1-1 (3 points)
White 0-0-3 (3 points)
Gold 0-2-1 (1 point)
Light Blue 0-3-0 (0 points)

Plastic block press showing all parts and measurements.
Final plastic block under 3,400 pounds per front wheel weight. The block compressed about three quarters of an inch with the weight on it. The block returned to its original shape when the weight was removed.
Turn low value plastic trash into valuable building blocks with a $300 homemade press.
December 15, 2010, was a big day for Harvey Lacey, the maker of a hand-operated press that turns plastic trash into building blocks. That was the day Harvey made his first plastic block. His website at RecycledPlasticBlockHouses.com chronicles his efforts to make a block press and plastic building blocks.
Basic facts: The inside width of the press is eight inches, which is also the standard width for a building block made of concrete. Final block size is 8"x8"x16". Four 12 gauge galvanized wires hold the plastic block together. A simple tool is used to cinch and twist the wire tight while still in the press. Each block weighs six to ten pounds depending on how much plastic and pressure is added. They are difficult to compress or distort. Horizontal wire around each block facilitates attaching plaster mesh. Tied together with wire, and braced with masonry reinforcement and rebar the plastic blocks create a very strong wall ready for plaster inside and out.
Half blocks are used at corners and at window and door openings. Cutting full blocks without losing the integrity of the block is not possible, so half blocks are a necessity. These are made by inserting a half block plug in front of the ram and then applying the same method and pressure as full blocks.
Harvey believes this block can be produced in developing regions under the worst circumstances. In other words, it can work anywhere there's sufficient plastic waste.
Although most any type of plastic could be used, more valuable grades of plastic (especially #1 and #2) are best recycled so the material can be used again. Number 5, 6 and 7 grade plastic is plentiful, has low value, and seems most appropriate for making plastic blocks. For comparison, today's spot price is $420.00 a ton for number one and two plastics, $150.00 a ton for three through seven. However, most facilities can't or won't process Styrofoams and film plastics like shopping bags. Those are shipped to the landfill. But they work great in Harvey's plastic blocks.
The recycled plastic building block is just one factor in what should be a holistic approach to not only recycling but sustainable building as an industry. Plastics that have value as recyclables should be recycled when economically possible. Recycled plastic building blocks aren't just an answer to housing for the third world. They're an opportunity for changing the lives of those that build the shelters along with those that live in them. It would be best if it is presented as a new industry providing jobs and opportunities for entrepreneurships.
Recycled plastic blocks are perfect for places such as Haiti, where manufactured building materials are extremely expensive (far higher than the U.S.) and must be imported. Plastic blocks are strong, waterproof, rot proof and insect resistant, all very important qualities in tropical climates. There's an abundance of plastic trash available in Haiti, free for the taking. Gathering the plastic would help clean up the country and provide jobs. Plastic blocks could be used to create permanent housing that's designed to fit the local culture and their immediate needs. And with adequate tensile reinforcement, concrete foundation and bond beams, plaster mesh and plaster the structures could be designed to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes.
Harvey's not the first person to see the enormous potential of turning trash to cash. Peter Lewis, the original inventor of recycled plastic blocks, is an architect and aerospace engineer in Dunedin, New Zealand. His company, Byfusion Technology, www.byfusion.net sells industrial machines that clean, chop and press recycled plastic into numerous products, including building blocks.
Peter Lewis has been helpful in sharing his ideas to speed along Harvey's project. I've never met Peter, but I was very glad to see his willingness to help this cause. Peter spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to patent plastic blocks in August 2002, and millions since then to develop industrial scale equipment. The Byfusion machine is manufactured in New Zealand and can be exported in shipping containers. Their mass production techniques are appropriate for many areas of the world, including turning the massive plastic garbage patches in the oceans into useful products. See Great Pacific Garbage Patch for details on the extent of the problem.
While Byfusion Technology is perfectly suited for certain situations, Harvey's block making process is taking a decidedly different approach, one best suited for less developed countries where modern materials are not affordable. Harvey's focus is on simple, low-tech solutions. Virtually anyone with access to plastic trash, no matter how poor, can start generating an income and making blocks for their home with his machine. And even though his plastic blocks aren't as uniform as Byfusions', they are certainly adequate for building simple houses.
To work in impoverished areas, the machine has to be low cost, simple to use, easy to make, durable and create a product that can be used by low skilled laborers with a consistent degree of success.
Another interesting aspect Harvey is using is an open source process to help spread his ideas as quickly as possible. Anyone can freely copy and use his press design. Free drawings are now available on his website. All Harvey asks is that if anyone does develop an improved version to please let him know about it so the improvements can be shared with others.
Another goal is to create a cottage industry process that's similar to the one used to produce compressed earth blocks (CEBs) in many countries. Each village or town could be making plastic blocks where it is not cost effective or practical to send low value plastic trash to big cities for processing.
Harvey's goal is to see his machine manufactured and distributed everywhere alternative housing is needed. He also wants to see another model of this machine that is automated for use in the industrialized world. For those who can afford the extra cost, it would not be difficult to modify a log splitting machine to greatly increase output.
At last, there's a method for 100 percent recycling of plastics. The valuable plastics need to be separated and recycled. The rest of it needs to go into useful products such as building blocks — 100 percent recycling at its best.
Is this type of machine available for purchase?
Jan, applying sufficient heat to fuse the plastics greatly complicates construction of the press. It would take a lot of energy. Plus, this process is already patented by ByFusion Technology, as explained in the article.
Jan, I just did a look up on durability of galanized steel inside of walls. 22 gauge has life expectancy of over six hundred years. The wire I'm using is 12 gauge. That's almost twice as thick. The wire isn't just to hold the shape of the block. It is also there to replace mortar. Without the wire for tying the blocks together and to the reinforcing steel you would need a special mortar with additives to bond plastic to sand and cement. The plastic and wire construction provides a strong and flexible wall. This is an important consideration in most of the places where seismic activity is the reason for the crisis. Another thing to consider about this wall construction is it is the way we built things before we developed mortar and methods to shape stone or create bricks. We tied things together because it is simple and it works.
I'm a bit concerned about the wires used. They are a non-recycled item that must be purchased, and it seems that they have a shorter life than the blocks themselves, which could mean that the highly-compressed blocks could rapidly expand upon wire failure. What about heating the entire press, causing the plastic to fuse to itself while compressed? The heat could be supplied by a solar concentrator or wood.
Yeah, I really think this has a lot of potential. I'd love to see people pick up on the idea and run with it.
I live in a city that does not recycle most plastics. I live sustainably and am about to retire. This idea is just what I am looking for to reduce garbage even further. If we can develop low cost water filters and low cost solar systems for developing countries, why not low cost building materials. The up-side potential is limitless!
very interesting article, sounds plausible, thank the author for being willing to share this with the public, I printed out the article and will attempt it. will let you know how it all comes out. we have an abundance of plastic trash as we have 3 children and 3 adults living together, we go through 2 gallons of milk every day.


A Civil Air Patrol plane [N217NY] crashed into a Queens house yesterday, killing a 16-year-old air cadet and injuring two other cadets and their pilot.
Police said that three teenage cadets and the pilot, CAP 1st Lt Annette Leder, 27, had just left Flushing Airport in a single-engine Cessna 172. The small plane took off at 10:55 a.m., heading east. Then it reportedly turned in a wide semicircle and appeared to be heading back to the airport when it lost altitude and crashed into the roof of three-story home at 144-69 27th Ave., at the corner of 146th St.

Your writers (editors??) never included the probable cause finding of the investigation into this New York Civil Air Patrol accident. Could be important, no?
