NORMAN — Last month, officials at San Francisco International Airport hired a herd of part-time employees to toil on the west side of the property and engage in an unusual form of fire prevention.
For two weeks in June, Mr. Fuzzy, Cookie, Mable, Alice and nearly 400 other goats chomped on the brush in a remote corner of the airport. The area needs to be cleared each spring to protect nearby homes from potential fires, but machines or humans can't because two endangered species — the San Francisco garter snake and the California red-legged frog — live there.
It's not exactly the type of job you advertise in the local classifieds. So, for the past five years officials have turned to Goats R Us, a small brush-removal company run by Terri Oyarzun, her husband Egon and their son Zephyr.
The airport paid $14,900 for the service this year.
The goats travel 30 miles each spring from their home in Orinda, Calif. to the airport in a 16-wheel truck that Oyarzun calls her "livestock limo." They come with a goat herder and a Border Collie named Toddy Lynn. The goats spend two weeks cutting away a 20-foot firebreak on the west side of the airport.

Dodgers - Sitting In First Place over the San Francisco Giants.
After losing two of three in Pittsburgh to start the week the Los Angeles Dodgers made the trip for a crucial three game weekend series in San Francisco versus their fierce division rivals. Needing a big performance versus the Giants the Dodgers took care of business, sweeping the Giants to take over the division lead.
Week Recap: The Dodgers started the week strong with a 5-2 victory on Monday night in Pittsburgh, with Hyun-Jin Ryu earning his 11th victory of the season. Josh Turner drove in two runs for the Dodgers. Los Angeles struggled in the final two games of the Pittsburgh series, losing 12-7 on Tuesday and 6-1 on Wednesday. Both Paul Maholm and Dan Haren struggled as the Dodgers starting pitchers, casting doubt regarding the overall Dodgers starting pitching depth. After Haren's tough outing the Dodgers decided to skip the veteran the next couple of times through the rotation. After being outscored by a combined 18-8 in the final two games of the Pittsburgh series the Dodgers had a day off before making the trip to San Francisco for a crucial weekend series with the Giants. Heading into the series the Dodgers were game and a half behind the Giants in the division. The Dodgers had their top three starters lined up for the Giants series after manager Don Mattingly decided to reset the rotation following the All-Star game to line up with the Giants series. The move paid off as Los Angeles received outstanding starting pitching in all three games to earn the sweep of San Francisco. Friday night the story was Yasiel Puig, who hit three triples in the Dodgers 8-1 victory. Puig became the first Dodgers player to hit three triples in a game since 1921. Zack Greinke was in command all evening on the mound, earning his 12th victory of the season. Greinke pitched four-hit ball over seven shutout innings, striking out ten. The Dodgers dominance on the mound would continue into Saturday night when Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw had another dominating start, shutting out the Giants with a complete game two-hitter. Kershaw earned his 12th victory of the season, lowering his ERA to 1.76. Juan Uribe drove in two runs in the victory. Behind their number three starter the Dodgers completed the sweep on Sunday with Hyun-Jin Ryu joining Greinke and Kershaw in the twelve win club, helping the Dodgers earn a 4-3 win. Ryu outdueled Jake Peavy, who was making his debut for the Giants. Hanley Ramirez, Carl Crawford and Juan Uribe each drove in a run while Kenley Jansen earned his 30th save of the season.
The Week Ahead: The have a day off before they host the Atlanta Braves in a three game series starting on Tuesday night. Following the three games versus Atlanta the Chicago Cubs come to town for a three game weekend series starting on Friday.
Where They Stand: The Dodgers are in first place in the National League West, a game and a half on top of the San Francisco Giants.

This full moon 360º night panorama is composed of 4 shots around with a Canon 8-15mm f/4L fisheye lens at 8mm on a Canon EOS 60D. I used a Really Right Stuff PG-02 Pro Omni-Pivot tripod head on a Gitzo 3541XLS tripod. Three shots were taken at each camera position, and blended with Exposure Fusion in PTGui Pro. Hours of testing and calibration of the pano head paid off, as I achieved the elusive PTGui rating of too good to be true when I stitched the pano. Not bad for an image that was made at 3:12 a.m.! Many thanks to the owner of this facility for kindly allowing some full moon freaks to photograph in his wonderful yard.

Moist excellent! Any snakes in those bushes? Northern Cal?
I don't mind deadly spiders/snakes or warewolfs but mosquitoes it is too much:)
Love this subject; love this shot!
Fantastic 360º view! Such a treasure.

Local high school cheerleaders will be traveling to Charleston today, hoping to score a win at the state cheerleading competition.
The competition will be held at the Charleston Civic Center starting at 10 a.m. Admission is $8 for adults and $7 for students.
A total of 24 schools will compete, eight from each of the three classes, A, AA, and AAA.
Edie Davis, one of the cheerleading coaches for Fayetteville High School, said this is the sixth consecutive year the school has qualified to compete at the state level.
Until six years ago, Davis said the school had never gone.
"We always hope for a win, but the competition is tough."
Cheerleading coach for Independence High School, Jane Vass, said their school hasn't been to the state competition in a few years.
"We placed second in the region. Liberty placed first and the top two from each region get to go."
She said the girls have been working hard and are excited to show their routine.
"They want to hit all their moves perfectly and put on a good show."

HUFFMAN, Texas – High winds created major property damage Wednesday at a non-profit organization located in northeast Harris County.
The weather has not been kind to Roger Randall. Two years ago it was the drought causing problems, on Wednesday it was the wind.
"We try to keep rolling with the punches," Randall said. "But boy, we're kind of getting some black eyes from Mother Nature."
Randall is president of Texas Adaptive Aquatics in Huffman. His non-profit allows people with disabilities to enjoy activities on Lake Houston, free of charge.
But the outlook grew dim on Wednesday, after two trees fell on his property.
One of them blocked a road. The other crushed a car and destroyed a jet ski.
Randall said he cannot operate without it.
"And so when, if the disabled skier goes down, the ski comes in with two people on it. And the guy off, gets him back in the ski, makes sure they're good and safe," Randall said. "It's a major safety part of the program."
For more than two decades, he has helped thousands of people with disabilities enjoy the lake.
"It's the smiles that makes it all worthwhile," Randall said. Now, he just hopes someone can help him.
He said his ski was a donation from Sea Doo. He believes it will cost $10,000 to $15,000 to replace.

Eve Adventures in Australia
Eve hopped over to Australia for a series of shows. During her tour of the country, the rap diva visited a wildlife sanctuary on the Gold Coast where she fed kangaroos and bravely posed with a python around her neck. "Feeding Kangaroo's and holding Koala Bear's in the Gold Coast," she tweeted.
After nine long years, E-V-E is finally ready to release her fourth album Lip Lock next year. "People will recognize what they loved about me from the more hardcore, Ruff Ryder days as far lyrical contact goes, but I think there will also be a nice bridge to where I am musically, now," she recently told MSN's Wonderwall. "Because I travel so much overseas, I think there will be a big influence of world music and dance music; not crazy club dance, just a more up-tempo, mid-tempo record."

Implementing Encrypted Home Directories
mount prompts you for a password and possibly for a key size.
Now that you understand how to mount and unmount encrypted loopback filesystems manually, an introduction to pam_mount is appropriate. pam_mount is a PAM module that simplifies the management of volumes and should be mounted when a user logs in to a system. It can handle mounting things like Samba-hosted volumes, Novell-hosted volumes and encrypted filesystems. The original author of pam_mount is Elvis Pftzenreuter. Mukesh Agrawal wrote the patch that first added support for loopback encrypted volumes. The author of this article now maintains pam_mount, which is available at www.flyn.org.
Instead of having to mount encrypted volumes manually, a system administrator can configure pam_mount to mount and unmount the volumes automatically when users log on and off. This can be configured so the system password also unlocks the encrypted volume, essentially creating a completely transparent encrypted volume.
pam_mount can employ three different techniques to unlock an encrypted volume. The first technique is rather boring. When the encrypted volume's key is unrelated to the system's login password, pam_mount simply prompts users for the key to their encrypted volume. In order to use this technique on a system, pam_mount.so and pmhelper must be installed and configured. The standard ./configure, make and make install commands build and install pam_mount's binaries and configuration file.
You should find the stock pam_mount.conf in /etc/security. Inspect and tailor it to your own system. The stock pam_mount.conf file is well documented. The most important change necessary is to add definitions for the volumes that should be mounted to the end of the file. The following is the definition format for encrypted loopback filesystems, as documented in the stock file:
volume user local ignored loopback file mount point mount options fs key cipher fs key path
Here is an example that mounts an AES-encrypted loopback filesystem hosted by /home/mike.img at /home/mike when Mike logs on:
volume mike local - /home/mike.img /home/mike loop,user,exec,encryption=aes,keybits=256 - -
Next, add the lines auth required pam_mount.so try_first_pass and session required pam_mount.so try_first_pass to the configuration files of the PAM-supporting services you want to support loopback encrypted filesystems. As an example, here is the /etc/pam.d/login file from my laptop:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_lastlog.so session optional pam_motd.so session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure \ min=4 max=8 md5 auth required pam_mount.so try_first_pass session required pam_mount.so try_first_pass
Finally, create the user's loopback encrypted filesystem using the steps listed in the introduction to encrypted loopback filesystems.
The second technique for pam_mount to unlock a volume is more convenient for users. If, when creating the encrypted volume using the same method as the first technique, a user specifies his or her login password as the volume key, then pam_mount unlocks the volume using the same password the user enters to login.
The third technique is the most flexible and requires a more sophisticated description. Here are a few terms to help you understand how this technique works:
sk: system key, the key or password used to log in to the system.
fsk: filesystem key, the key that allows you to use the filesystem you want pam_mount to mount for you.
E and D: an OpenSSL-supported synchronous encryption/decryption algorithm, bf-ecb, for example.
efsk: encrypted filesystem key, efsk = E_sk (fsk), stored somewhere on the local filesystem (that is, /home/user.key).
pam_mount reads efsk from the local filesystem, performs fsk = D_sk (efsk) and uses fsk to mount the filesystem. This technique has the advantage of allowing users to change their login passwords without having to re-encrypt their home directories using this new key. If the login password is changed, simply regenerate efsk (that is, /home/user.key) using efsk = E_newsk (D_oldsk (efsk)). A script named passwdehd is included in pam_mount to do this for you.
To implement this third technique, begin by creating the file to host the encrypted filesystem (as before):
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/user.img \
bs=1M count=image size in MB
Then, create a file (efsk) containing the volume's password (fsk) using /dev/urandom, encrypted using the user's login password as the key:
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1c count=keysize / 8 | \
openssl enc -bf-ecb > /home/user.key
Next, create an encrypted loopback filesystem. The filesystem's key should be fsk (generated using /dev/urandom, encrypted and stored as /home/user.key in step 2).
openssl enc -d -bf-ecb -in /home/user.key | \
losetup -e aes -k keysize -p0 /dev/loop0 \
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/loop0
umount /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
Finally, in pam_mount.conf, set the fs key cipher variable to the cipher used to encrypt fsk, in this case bf-ecb, and set the fs key path variable to efsk's path, in this case, /home/user.key.
In his definitive text, Applied Cryptography, Bruce Schneier states, "Software encryption is scary." What he means is, it is difficult to design truly secure encryption software for computers running general-purpose operating systems such as Linux. For example, modern operating systems can swap memory to disk at any time, and this memory could contain plain text or encryption keys. An encrypted volume is useless if its key has been written to disk by the operating system. One way to reduce the effects of this is to encrypt one's swap volume. CryptoAPI still cannot do this safely, but it is in development. A similar project, LoopAES, already can encrypt a system's swap space.
Consider again the example where I sent my iBook to Apple for repairs. Though my home directory is encrypted, my data still may not be completely safe. A dishonest employee could boot his or her diabolical CD-ROM and replace, for example, the login binary on my system with the employee's own design. When my computer is returned and I log in, my encryption key could be shipped off to a remote computer by the newly installed login program. An intrusion detection system would make this scenario much less likely.
Another possible weak point in a system employing encrypted home directories using pam_mount is the system's login password. Because the login password is used, directly or indirectly, to unlock an encrypted filesystem, it must be strong. Countless studies have shown that most passwords chosen by users are quite weak. Rather than blindly increasing the required length of passwords, spend some time reading Bruce Schneier's Secrets and Lies. A strong passphrase, written down and stored in your wallet may be more secure than a memorized password. The addition of a physical authentication token might be even better. Remember, if your system login password is not secure, your encrypted filesystem is as good as read.
Finally, encrypted filesystems can be a double-edged sword. What if you forget your encryption key? What if you use the third technique described above and accidentally delete all records of your encrypted filesystem key? What if my or someone else's encryption-related software is buggy? All of these problems can result in you having to try 2128 or so different encryption keys to get your filesystem back. Your data may be as good as gone. As with any system administration endeavor, make filesystem backups. Ideally, these backups are not encrypted and are physically locked up somewhere secure.
The bottom line is many subtle considerations and procedures are required to administer a reasonably secure system beyond the use of a modern encryption algorithm like AES. To quote Matt Blaze's contribution to Applied Cryptography:
High-quality ciphers and protocols are important tools, but by themselves poor substitutes for realistic, critical thinking about what is being protected and how various defenses might fail (attackers, after all, rarely restrict themselves to the clean, well-defined threat models of the academic world).
After reading this article, you should be familiar with the concept of an encrypted loopback filesystem. In addition, you should be able to deploy encrypted filesystems on the systems you administer and manage them with the pam_mount PAM module. In the future, I would like to see the CryptoAPI patches and pam_mount supported by the major Linux distributors. I also would like to see the CryptoAPI patch rolled into the mainstream util-linux package. Properly administered encrypted home directories are a powerful security tool.

He also met with the Lakers
The Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers were the two teams that Lou Amundson visited this week and discussions went positively with both organizations, agent Mark Bartelstein told RealGM on Friday.
Amundson had met with a couple teams last week and sat down with two more within the past few days, and the 6-foot-9 forward is continuing dialogue with interested teams in hopes of landing a deal soon.
"They were good meetings," Bartelstein said. "I wouldn't quite use the word frontrunner right now, but there's interest, and hopefully we can get something done soon."
Amundson, 30, averaged nearly two points and three rebounds a season ago and would bolster a team's frontcourt. He has played for eight teams over a seven-year NBA career.
Amazing news - we might get one of the few players, who hits less FTs than DJ!
I love this guys hustle
Anyone who can get under Zbo's skin like this is a guy I want on my team
Doesn't make Lou look good but I threw it in anyways haha
Yeah I've heard he can't shoot free throws, but I didn't realize he was one of the worst until I read this and checked. (Actually shoots a better career percentage than DJ, but I think the idea is clear that it's pretty awful).
Still, I'd buy into Amundson with the hustle and energy alone. Let him play 8 mpg and get a couple rebounds and take some hard fouls. Better add than Jamison, that's for sure.
^ That video clearly justifies why I hate Zack Randolph.
He's likes to play bully ball and is just an idiot.
Pray that dude and Memphis get swept again this year. Can't stand him.
On a side note and back to the topic, I hope they pass on this guy. Free throw shooting is becoming more crucial than ever. We don't need anyone else on the roster getting hacked. We pretty have. A full roster that shoots free throws really well besides DJ so here's to hoping it stays like that.
That free throw shooting percent screams "pass" to me.
When I read the Clips narrowed their choice to Odumb and Jamison I asked "how much worse could it get". Then I found out - Amundson...
zach randolph was a f***** G.
I'll take Lou over Odom. Not nearly as talented, but at least you know he'll always be motivated and play hard.
i wish grant hill would've stayed one more year
this could've been his chance to win a ring
if he would've stayed we wouldn't even be looking for amundson or jaimson
It would not surprise me at all if Hill signed a 10 day contract somewhere and ended up playing in the PO's. His problem was that he never recovered from his injury.
He was so solid even old an injured. One of the classiest men ever to set foot on the wood
Does this mean Odom is playing in China? He can play SF for LAL
Didn't realise he shoots worse at the line than DJ
The guy is above average defender, has no offensive game, can't hit FTs and is not really rebounding much. What good is another guy, who can't play late in the 4th? Sorry to say, but there are better centers/forwards in Europe and they will be happy to get a shot at the NBA. The Hawks got a very solid forward, who is a real beast in Pero Antic and we seem to be looking at some of the most limited players left!
I understand your concern but why would we even play him in the 4th unless its a blowout? We are looking at 12th-15th men here. Guys who barely get time. He is just another body to throw at opposing bigs. Nothing more. You don't get average players to be a 12th-15th man. Of course I would prefer better players but we only have the vet min. As for rebounding. He averages over 10 per 36 career wise as a 6'9 forward. That is well above average....
@MaxLuckan: NBA scoopage: Clippers moving to re-sign forward Lamar Odom; deal expected to happen soon, Lakers not out yet.
Exactly.I don't think anyone here wants Amundson to be the first big off the bench,but for a 12-15 man I think he would be a good fit.When you talk about 12-15 players,you are either looking for raw prospects,glue guys,past their prime vets, or specialist.I would categorize Amundson as a specialist.He only is on the court to grab boards and defend.The most he would play a game would be 5-10 min.
From that point of view it's not important who we get but with the roster we have I think the only thing we are missing is a big who can defend and grab rebounds.Amundson is an above average defender and rebounder.Strange how so many people loved Reggie Evans but don't like Amundson who is basically the same play but a better defender.
Look, Amundson isn't going to make any All Star teams, win any awards or push a team into a contender. But, he plays hard and is a big body with relatively solid health. This team needs bigs, obviously the team didn't like what it saw with a few other players or just didn't have the money. Amundson isn't an every night type of player and frankly neither is Ryan Hollins. He'd be the 5th big man on the team, which is a must for any NBA team.
It'll be nice also to rotate him and Hollins a bit on the bench to avoid injuries, and to limit Mullens' work load as he'll be the #1 big man off the bench.
I'm all for Amundson being signed, granted I won't throw any parties or expect to be the #1 team in the NBA but it's a quality signing to add insurance and depth to the team. Sign Odom as well and let's get on with the show!
Ideally, we need a backup pf or c who can shoot freebies and has a very solid defensive game. Amundson is a very good defender, but not good from the charity stripe. That being said, he aint gonna play clutch time. Mullens and Hollins are our backup bigs, and I like mully as an ofensive option. I like hollins being capable of making ft, but he is a fouling machine. Lou could play tough D, and in hack a big situations, we could play hollins.
It's not Odom OR Amundson, it's Odom AND Amundson. Chances are, Clips will get both.
Amundson gets to the line 1.4 times a game, and that number is rather small, and also a little inflated because of a 4 year span where he actually played 14-18 MPG. I don't expect Amundson to play 10-18MPG nightly, nor every night. And if he misses 1 free throw in 1 attempt, big whoop? How many times will Blake, CP3, Crawford and everybody else miss who actually shoots like 5-10 free throws on a given night?
I highly doubt Amundson is going to be at the free throw line ONCE with the game on the line and if he makes both shots, we win. He more than likely won't be on the floor in that situation. If he can board, play physical, give hard fouls and spell our main rotation a few minutes here and there then great. Amundson won't be signed to shoot free throws. All this talk about his FT shooting is ridiculous, 1.4 attempts a game for his career and it's apparently a deal breaker to some people. Be thankful Dwight Howard isn't on our team shooting 25 free throws and making 12.
Yeah I read something that said the only reason they haven't offered the min to Jamison is because they're holding out for Odom to come back. I don't know if that was just reported later and the ranking is now Odom, Amundson, then Jamison (which it hopefully is), but the piece is only a day or two old. I don't know how this is going to play out..
FT shooting in New Orleans last season:
at least
Yea chances are they get both but right now they can't if they sign Lamar first we would have a 15-man-roster
PG- Paul/Collison/Wayns
SG- Reddick/Crawford/Green
SF- Dudley/Barnes/Bullock
PF- Griffin/Odom/Davies
C- Jordan/Hollins/ Mullens
The Clippers would have waive Davies or do a S&T with NO( I assume )
To sign Lou Amundson! Once that happen which I think it will our Depth Chart will look like this
PF- Griffin/Odom/Amundson
C- Jordan/Mullens/Hollins
We may not get both! Its probably going to be like If the Clippers get Lamar first The Lakers will get Lou or Vice Versa! I hope we get both because this depth chart! Coached by two greats!! Looks like a good championship contender team! Great Offensive and Defensive Options! I like it
Head Coach: Doc Rivers
Associate Coach: Alvin Gentry
I honestly think it would be:
if anything he would bring a banger a guy who could put Zach on his behind when needed.
heard no more news about this. Anybody heard anything?
@ESPNSteinLine: Hearing: Free agent big man Lou Amundson is going to training with the getting-richer Clippers
@ESPNSteinLine: That is: Hearing free agent big man Lou Amundson is going to training CAMP with the getting-richer Clippers
Lou Amundson To Join Clippers For Camp
By Luke Adams
After being linked to the Clippers in multiple reports over the last several weeks, Louis Amundson is prepared to join the team for training camp, according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein (via Twitter). It appears that Amundson will be the first fully non-guaranteed camp invitee added by the Clips, bringing the club's roster to 16 players.
In addition to their 13 players on guaranteed contracts, the Clippers also have Maalik Wayns on a non-guaranteed deal and signed Brandon Davies to a contract that included a $50K guarantee. Given his advantage in NBA experience and the club's potential need in the frontcourt, Amundson may have the upper hand for earning one of those last two roster spots, though he'll likely need to impress in camp.
Amundson, 30, saw NBA action for the Timberwolves, Bulls, and Hornets (now the Pelicans) last season, averaging 1.9 PPG and 1.5 RPG in 39 contests. As Chuck Myron of Hoops Rumors wrote when he examined Amundson's free agent stock, 2012/13 certainly wasn't the best showcase of the big man's ability, but he's still capable of grabbing some rebounds in limited minutes off the bench.
Good Sign For That Rougher We Wanted!
I like it a lot...
i hope he punches randolph right in the face next time we play the grizzlies
I have been hoping we sign Amundson for a while,especially after we signed Jamison.He isn't a great player but he brings the toughness,defense,and rebounding we needed.It's only a training camp invite but Amundson is a very hard worker and I think will impress Doc and our FO enough to get the 14th spot on the roster.That would mean cutting or sending Davies and Wayns to the D-League which I am fine with since both are projects anyways.This will complete a great roster in my opinion.
PG: CP3,Collison
SG: Redick,Crawford,Green
SF: Dudley,Barnes,Bullock
PF: Griffin,Jamison,Amundson
C: DJ,Mullens,Hollins
I like the fact that whether it's him or Brandon Davies, that they would pretty much have to compete against each other in training camp. I really do like the idea of signing him, he really brings the missing piece of hustle ,energy, and decent front court defense to our team.
I was just today thinking about when we were going to hear about this! We need another scrappy guy, please earn a spot on the roster Lou.
Bring on the pony tail!
Love it. Hopefully Davies beats him out but it's good to have a little competition. He'll have to take that roster spot though. No room for him + Davies unless we only carry two PGs (bad idea)
How many players do we have on the training camp roster now?
Haha! Don't beat around the bush, dude!
id rather take Amundson and Davies and drop Malik
Crawford and Redick can play pg if they have to, probably better than Malik
haha deep down you know everyone wants it to happen
Not a bad pickup.
I'd rather have Lou on the roster than Malik Waynes, my reasoning is that Malik will benefit from more time in the D-League (Davie's would too) and also our current backcourt players are versatile and don't have many glaring weaknesses to their games to where u would need to rotate them often for different match ups... Our frontcourt is a different story. Each of our frontcourt players other than Blake have huge weaknesses and Lou would give us one type of big man that we haven't had since we gave up Reggie, who is humble enough to get some DNP's when match ups are off, & since he has no contract, I'm sure there's no ego. & I'd rather have him as a backup big when we face a rough team like Memphis or against Joakim Noah than Hollins, Mullins, Jamison or Davies. We need his type in the rotation.
I like it because he's one of the few guys available with some toughness. I don't think any of us think he's going to play down the stretch or to be a force on offense (heck we have other players for that), but to provide some toughness during moments. Remember we had two guys in Reggie Evans and K Mart a couple of years ago who were basically muscle but terrible FT shooters. AMUNDSON IS NOT AS GOOD AS THOSE GUYS...but it's a similar role, I think.
As long I don't see Jamison guarding Z-bo, I'm okay.
That's what this move was all about.
I like it. Hope he makes the team. I think his D and hustle
could be real valuable at some point.
good news, we need another Reggie type of Guy. Davies wasn't very impressive in the summer league. Let's see who has the upper hand.
I'm thinking this is just training camp move. Needed a little more depth at the low post to run intense 5-on-5 scrimmages and this helps bring an edge and depth for practice. If somehow, he shines, that's an added bonus. Otherwise, he's just there to toughen up Blake and DJ.
I hope he makes the team over Davies! He's the hard nosed hustler and rebounder that would be nice to have. He's a poor mans Reggie who would be a 12th-15th man. Practice would be more intense lol.
if you think about it, we have 1 superstar surrounded by a bunch of good role players. being projected to finish so high next season, you get the impression that this team is stacked with start talent, it isn't. i like that.
So is Blake Griffin the role player or is it Chris Paul?
Yeah that was what I was thinking. How is either of those perenial allstars a role player?

John Tamny, Forbes Staff
I cover the intersection of economics and politics.
Wandering each day outside my office building in Washington, D.C. is a man known for his incessant screaming. Yelling in a foreign language at no one in particular, his voice is one of the constants for those who office around 17th and L Street. It's probably not politic to say it, but this man would presumably be classified as "crazy" or "insane" if analyzed.
What's notable about the above is how very unremarkable it is. Most who work in an urban setting can probably describe someone similar who loiters near their own building. In a former life up in New York, a man affectionately referred to as "The Preacher" would give unintelligible sermons to the occupants of office buildings around 48th & Park. No matter the city, those who go to work in crowded business districts probably have stories of seemingly unhinged individuals whom they encounter or witness on a regular basis.
Why is this perhaps relevant to a column about guns and gun control? It is given the view among some that the deinstitutionalization of the insane has yielded a body count.
At first glance it's perhaps hard to argue with this line of thinking. Only a truly crazy person could be so cruel as to open fire on defenseless individuals in movie theaters, or on innocent children in schools, so why not re-institutionalize the insane? Hindsight reveals the tautological reality that crazy people murder, so why not pre-empt them?
Well, the answer why is that we're not a police state; that, or we don't want to be one. What's amazing about the institutionalization argument is that it's popular among those who are normally very skeptical of big government. If so, re-institutionalization of the insane should horrify them.
It should because "crazy" or "insane" are two very broad words, and they mean different things to different people. If this is doubted, one need only navigate the crowded walkways of a big state university. There are lots of human oddities on campus, many "normal" people would call them crazy, but we taxpayers probably can't afford to pay for the housing of all those who appear different at State U, let alone those we encounter on city streets.
Importantly, institutionalization of all who appear insane with an eye on safety would be costly in ways well beyond what can be measured in dollars. Indeed, the greatest cost would be in terms of freedoms handed over to government. John Stuart Mill long ago observed that "The only insecurity which is altogether paralyzing to the active energies of producers is that arising from the government," and paralysis is what we'd achieve if we empowered government or entities acting for it to rid our streets of "crazy" people who might do us harm.
Though politicians and media members often act as though the opposite is true, government workers aren't angels. To hand them the power to decide who is and is not fit for polite society is a frightening thought, and one we'll ideally never become familiar with. Worse, it wouldn't work. Leaving aside the sick-inducing vision of government officials rounding up those they deem threats to our wellbeing, they're going to be very wrong – frequently. Harmless individuals will be committed to psychiatric wards, while those with murderous intent will still walk the streets.
As tragic as what happened in Newtown was, empowering the government or even private individuals to round up those they consider crazy would yield its own police-state horrors, and would in no way shield us from future Newtown-style massacres. Particularly in a free society, those who want to kill will be able to. The latter is a terrible reality to contemplate, but much worse would be a truly dystopian society in which allegedly noble government figures would lock up potentially unhinged people with our safety in mind.
Another popular view (Michael Medved in USA Today is the latest to promote it) is that Hollywood is to blame. The latter is an easy target. Full of faddish, emotional people ever ready to disarm the mouthbreathers in flyover country, for a living these same people often make blockbuster films marked by excessive gun violence. It's said that the movie Sideways and its dismissive description of Merlot led to plummeting sales of the latter, so if Hollywood influences our culture, why not ask it to tone down the violence in its movies?
Though not a fan of blockbuster shoot-em-ups, the above idea would not only infringe on free speech rights, but it's also truly silly. As evidenced by ticket sales, consumers very much enjoy violent, escapist cinema. Of course, those same ticket sales (along with booming sales of violent video games) for gun laden films reveal that they don't in any way foster a violent, murderous society. They're once again escapist, and that's it. People watch the films and play the games, then return to their normal lives. Once again, only a truly crazy person would or could murder or be needlessly violent toward an innocent.
Still, Hollywood's hypocrisy is impressive. Though the film industry's booming nature is to some degree an effect of popular films that glorify gun violence, this didn't stop celebrities (as Medved reported) from asking President Obama for more controls on gun ownership. Their logic seemingly is less guns, less gun violence.
About the above debate, it's already occurred, and nothing written here will inform it any more. I'll only say that as someone who doesn't own a gun, I'm not fearful of those who do. John Podhoretz wrote in the New York Post that 35 million American households have guns, but as evidenced by how few of those homes are murderous ones, gun ownership in no way correlates with gun violence.
Furthermore, as Forbes contributor Richard Miniter points out in his latest book, Leading From Behind, "virtually all guns involved in crimes in the United States come from the black market – not licensed gun dealers." In short, those who want to kill with guns will get them no matter the laws on the books. Laws meant to restrict gun ownership will only disarm some law abiding citizens (others will properly ignore the rules) attempting to protect themselves. If that's not enough for readers, ask yourself how long it would take a presumed mass murderer to be shot down at a gathering of plain-clothed police officers.
As the title of this piece makes plain, I don't own a gun. But without minimizing for a second the gun tragedies that have needlessly wrecked lives, it seems that the empowering of the state to reduce gun violence will do little in that regard, all the while doing great damage to our natural rights as human beings to live as we want. It's a cliché to say that our world is a risky one, but since there's truth in all clichés, seemingly the only answer to a world that is occasionally violent is to allow the non-violent to protect themselves from the murderous few.
I think that both revolutionary ideals and Burkean concepts of government played a role in our revolution. There is usually room for varying individual motives in an organization devoted to a single goal.
The genesis of the second amendment is fairly clear in the historical record. Prior to Lexington and Concord, the British Governor in Massachusetts had, in fact, gathered all the arms in Boston, placing them in a warehouse and refusing to return them as had been previously promised. When the British marched on Lexington and Concord the citizens there took appropriate action to maintain their own access to arms and the revolution began. Samuel Adams, among others, recalled this chain of events when it came time to write the Bill of Rights and the consequence was the second amendment.
The realization our founding fathers had was essentially identical to the reality stated by Mao almost 200 years later: "All political power grows from the barrel of a gun." The intention of our founders was that the citizens of the union were to be the sovereign power, not the government. Holding sovereign power means retaining the ability to use deadly force if necessary. Their thinking was quite clear as shown by their own statements:
"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ….The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or the state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People."
Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
"And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms….The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants"
Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787
The Continental Army was composed largely of Americans. There was considerable debate about whether to maintain a standing army after the revolution, but there was no debate about retaining an unorganized militia, meaning the right to keep and bear arms was firmly entrenched in the Bill of Rights.
Freedom does indeed rely on retaining the right to arms. Nothing else will defend it and history is replete with examples of tyranny while offering a paucity of examples where common folk were both free and sovereign.
While I appreciate the oversight, this still doesn't answer the question about where the 'right' to own weapons comes from. We can see the clear development of limited govt in Burke's references but there's NOTHING in the tradition of the west that says it's a fundamental right to have a firearm absent govt regulation. Certainly the fact we were British subjects and the govt took the guns means the govt thought it had the right to do so.
And if your argument is that we retain, as the people, the right to use deadly force, then your contention is obsolete. No armed citizenry can defeat a modern, well trained and well equipped army, absent self imposed limitations by that army.
Your references to arms and liberty quote references from 200 years ago. Fine. The battle of Wabash River certainly proves that, several hundred years ago, an armed citizenry COULD take on the army and win.
Today, not so much
Had you asked one of the founders where the right to arms came from the response would have been that it was from God. I might respond that it is inherent in a free people. In either case whether I am armed or not is a question I would refuse to allow any government to settle for me.
You cannot be free if you are not armed. If you are not armed, any thug more powerful than you can do as he wishes with you or yours. Sometimes, too, the thugs are the government. Nazi Germany and the USSR come to mind as examples.
As to whether an armed citizenry can defeat a modern army, that is a very hypothetical question. I would only point out that ordering our current military to fire on ordinary citizens exercising their rights might well backfire, in the truest sense of that word. Do an internet search on Oath Keepers. I would also call attention to the problems the armies of three major powers (Britain, the USSR and the US) have had when they attempted to subjugate Afghanistan and adjacent areas.
Oh, yeah. God. When you run out of arguments, there's always god. Kind of an intellectual garbage dump for stuff people want to be true.
And your breaking of Godwin's law signifies an intellectual surrender. Folks who lose an argument ALWAYS say their opponents have the same policies Hitler did. It's a cliche.
But let's take your cliche as the best you can do and treat it as if it were a real argument. Is it?
Nope. The nazi's Weimar predecessor had ALREADY banned most guns. They completely banned handguns and you had to PROVE you NEEDED a gun to get one.
And don't forget, Hitler's "Sturmabteilung", (SA), until he took power WAS AN ARMED CITIZEN'S group. How'd that work out?
And I have to say not one of your arguments is original. I've seen them all and they all fail. You say our troops wouldn't fire on our people?
Then why do we need guns to shoot at people who aren't going to shoot us?
Honestly, Montana. You need some new arguments. These really wouldn't be worthy of discussion if they weren't so pervasive.
Well, if you parse my comment you'll see that I noted the founders would have attributed the right to arms as coming from God, but wrote that I myself assert it is of necessity inherent in a free people. To repeat: in either case, I refuse to grant any government the authority to abrogate my right to arms.
As to Godwin's law, I did not draw any parallels between Nazi policies and contemporary policy proposals; I merely stated that Nazis were thugs, which I think is beyond argument.
The thrust of my meaning is that you are not really free if any thug, whether under color of government authority or not, can offer you violence you lack the means to answer. The right to arms guarantees your other rights. Without it your speech can be stifled, you can be forced to abrogate your moral or ethical convictions, your possessions can be taken or destroyed, your loved ones can be violated, your life may be taken.
All of that may happen even if you have arms, but without them you lack any effective way of responding when you are presented with unjustified violence. Stripping society of arms exposes the weak to the tyranny of the strong.
As it happens, I had a forefather who fought in the American Revolution. Since then, every generation of us has kept and borne arms. I have no intention of surrendering that right. With respect, you may elect not to exercise the right yourself, but that needs to be the decision of each individual citizen. It certainly cannot be the subject of executive fiat or legislative mischief.
If the govt is hell bent on taking your rights, possession of firearms won't' stop that. I'm not sure where this myth comes from but it's more of a soporific than an actual policy. What guarantees my rights is my vote.
And possession of firearms is no more a 'right' than possession of a nuclear reactor. It's arbitrary and capricious. No gun owner has been able to ground this 'right' in traditional enlightenment values or to tell us what social benefit we get out of a right that costs 10,000 lives a year
Bob, you are spot on here. But the number of deaths a year is 30,000.
Actually, the "myth" that an armed populace can overthrow a tyrannical government comes out of the American Revolution.
While the vote is important, there are many examples of chicanery in the casting and counting of votes in some places and times here in this country. The vote, in other words, is as good as the integrity of the person counting it.
We simply disagree about the right to possess firearms. I merely note that it is, in this country, a constitutional right and one that may not be tampered with short of a constitutional amendment.
It is a constitutional right indeed! I suggest that those who are opposed to the 2nd amendment actually work toward its repeal, rather than trying to slowly chip away at it with disregarded laws and unenforced bans.
I will work to keep it then, and we will both be better off for being honest.
An armed citizenry had nothing to do with the American revolution. It was the Continental Army, the French advisors and trained mercenaries.

I looked through the menus and help files for Pages '09 (Pages '08 has been revised) and find no reference to a CMD-Return keystroke shortcut to insert a new page. Here are instruction for creating keyboard shortcuts (from the OSX Help File on any Mac):
- 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
- 2. Click Keyboard Shortcuts, and then click Add (+).
- 3. Choose an application from the Application pop-up menu. If you want to set the same key combination for a menu command that appears in many applications, choose All Applications.If the application you want to select does not appear in the list, choose Other and locate the application using the Open dialog. Some applications may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.
- 4. Type the menu command for which you want to set a keyboard shortcut in the Menu Title field. You must type the command exactly as it appears in the application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. An ellipsis is a special character that looks like three periods. To type an ellipsis, press Option-semicolon, or use the Character Viewer. It may be difficult to know whether the command is written in the menu with a real ellipsis or with three periods, so if one does not work, try the other.
- 5. Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and press the key combination that you want to assign to the menu command, and then click Add.You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
- 6. Quit the application for which you added or changed a keyboard shortcut.
- 7. Restart the application to see the keyboard shortcut in the application's menu.
That should do it, but if youd like to let Apple know that you think there should be such a shortcut, leave some feedback - in Pages > Provide Feedback
Good luck.

There is no keyboard shortcut for insert a Page break nor Section break, I tried creating one and the Mac ignored it for some reason.

OK, let me add to the original post. Under Pages Help there is a Keyboard Shortcuts tab. About a third of the way down the list it says "insert page break.......Command-Enter". Since I use Return and Enter interchangeably, I didn't think twice when I tried Command-Return and it didn't work.
I tried Command-Enter and it did work. So, I stumbled on my own solutions. The path in Lion to making your own shortcuts is a little different from what bwfromspring hill describes. It is
Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application Shortcuts/[+ at the bottom]
then pull down Applications and select iWork/Pages. Fill in the menu title = Page Break, and type Cmd-Rtn.
Shut down Pages, then restart. Look under the Insert menu and there is Cmd-Rtn on the right. And it works!
All this is odd. Why aren't the Help shortcuts shown in the menus? Why isn't there a Customize menu within Pages to let you add shortcuts right there? All a little odd, but at least it works.

Hmmm. Hate it when they fix things behind your back.
I'd given up on that ages ago.

I stumbled on the answer since no of the suggestions on this forum worked. Hold the fn button and the enter (return) button at the same time and a page break will occur.

Command + enter works without the function key, but the enter key is on the numeric keyboard; Return is not the same as enter (although many programs map both keystrokes to the same function). Function + return produces the enter keystroke in any application.

I do not have a numeric keyboard. My return and enter key are one and the same and both words are printed on the key. I am using Pages '09. Command-Enter does not insert a page break. fn-enter does and unlike other posts I've read, it only inserts one page break, not two. In other words, fn-enter does exactly what I want it to do which is insert a page break using a simple keystroke. The Pages help menu and list of keyboard shortcuts lists command-enter as the correct keystroke to insert a page break but it DOES NOT WORK on my keyboard. fn-enter DOES WORK. I hope this helps other users.

That is because the Enter key is actually the Mac Return key, guess Apple gave it the PC name. Despite its claim to consistency, it does things like that.
By adding the fn key it is remapped to the actual Enter key on the Numeric keypad.

Hi Jeff,
Keyboards on MBPro do not have an enter key. The return key has an additional label—enter—in smaller letters than return. Similar in appearance to the option/alt key labeling, but functionally different, apparently. Option, I suspect sends the same code without regard to the position of the fn key, and the extra lable is there to aid those switching from other systems to recognize this as a 'similar' key to what they're used to. Return (on a keyboard without an enter key) sends an enter (or a modified enter) when used with fn.
On an iMac, running Leopard, and with the Apple extended kb and Pages '09 v4.0.5, command-return, fn-return and fn-enter each insert a page break; command-return has no visible effect, return and enter each insert a paragraph break (aka carriage return), and shift-return and shift-enter insert a 'line break' (line feed/soft return).

Don't Underestimate the al Qaeda Threat
Al Qaeda will continue to pose a grave national security threat to the United States and they will continue to mutate and transform.
Dr. Lamont Colucci is an associate professor of politics at Ripon College, recent Fulbright Scholar to the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, and author of The National Security Doctrines of the American Presidency: How they Shape our Present and Future, among other books. You can find out more at lamontcolucci.com.
There has been so much written about al Qaeda that yet another article is bound to generate a collective yawn. "The base" has become synonymous with terrorism in general, much to the detriment of counterterrorism efforts. It has become a catch-all term that fails to capture the shift created by this new form of terrorism. These Islamic fanatics were not like the terrorist organizations of the 19th and 20th century, primarily communist-inspired ethno national ventures such as the Irish Republican Army and Red Brigades. It was former CIA director Jim Woolsey's quotation that was able to crystalize the change in a single, salient sentence. "Al Qaeda does not want a seat at the table; they want to blow the table up." This was a movement that was even unlike other Islamic extremists groups, they were not merely content with attacking Israel. They wanted empire. They wanted, just as the Soviets did, a new man, Novus homo. This Islamo-Bolshevism wanted to remake the Middle East, and then the world.
The 9/11 Commission reports that "the base" or al Qaeda was established as the headquarters of future jihad in 1988, when the organization, whose foundation was Arabs in Afghanistan, was already talking about the political goal of a Pan-Islamic Caliphate, an Islamic empire that mirrored the medieval Caliphate. Ayman al-Zawahiri, often thought to be the operational commander of Al Qaeda, wrote in "Knights under the Prophet's Banner" that "it is the hope of the Muslim nation to restore its fallen caliphate and regain its lost glory."
[See a collection of political cartoons on Afghanistan.]
The terrorist threat posed by al Qaeda emerged during the Clinton years. The first attack on Americans by the group known as al Qaeda was not the February 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, but rather the attempted bombing of American military forces in Aden, Yemen on Dec. 29, 1992, one month before Bill Clinton became president. The chronology of subsequent terror attacks can be readily divided into Clinton's first and second terms. Under the first term, from inauguration in 1993 to the presidential election in 1996, al Qaeda geared up from a minor terror enterprise to a global terror network whose number one target would become the United States.
In 2005 Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein published an account of Al Qaeda's long-term strategic goals. Based in interviews with al Qaeda operatives Hussein portrays a seven phase plan that, if nothing else, shows the desires, regardless of how fantastical, of the world's most infamous and evil terrorist group. It is a pathway to an Islamic empire:
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Middle East.]
One can argue about the realism of al Qaeda's goals, but not with their motivation or their intent. Thus, we understand the past and the future. What about the present? We have seen al Qaeda and allied groups mutate and transform as their needs and situations changed. The Bush administration decimated what many refer to as "al Qaeda prime", or the core al Qaeda group that operated along the lines of a paramilitary hierarchy. The next transition was the growth of al Qaeda affiliates and franchises which had connection and obedience to al Qaeda prime. We are now witnessing a new transformation exemplified by a February 2013 trial in the United Kingdom which illustrates another dangerous mutation of the malevolence. This new phase, referred to as "teacher training," involves select extremists traveling to lawless areas of Pakistan, such as Waziristan, to receive terrorist training with the goal of returning to whatever Western country they journeyed from to train local extremists. This greatly reduces the risk and need for transporting large numbers of extremists abroad. This is in large part due to the successful counterterrorists operations by the United States that have targeted training camps and groups of terrorists abroad. It also encourages the development of homegrown extremism. Further, al Qaeda has shifted from scoring catastrophic large scale attacks to more manageable, tactical operations that have focused on soft civilian targets. This situation exists because Pakistan is a failed state, or at least failing. Pakistan is either unwilling or unable to exert sovereignty over large areas of the country, making agreements with her almost useless. In 2013 the Henry Jackson Society published an excellent report entitled, "Al-Qaeda in the United States", clearly illustrating that the future threat by al Qaeda in the United States is homegrown extremists, most of whom have U.S. citizenship.
America's global war on terror initiated by President Bush, thwarted scores of 9/11 level attacks, and countless number of medium and small attacks were shut down. The very success of the United States has caused complacency. In many ways we have become victims of our own feats, culminating with the hunting down of Osama bin Laden. The death of bin Laden did not hasten the war's end, but it may be used by many to justify a call to prematurely end the war itself. Al Qaeda and her confederates will continue to pose a grave national security threat to the United States and her allies, and they will continue to mutate and transform as long as we see the threat only in pure counterterrorism terms. The war will be won when the West makes a concerted strategic effort on all fronts to confront not only the terrorist groups themselves, but the Islamo-Bolshevik ideology and the rogue states that benefit from their existence.
