Anonymous attacks Westboro Baptist over threat of Newtown protest
By Mike FlacyProvided by Detailed within a video released by the hacking collective known as Anonymous, the hackers are targeting members of the Westboro Baptist Church after representatives of the church announced that they will be picketing a vigil at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. In addition, members of the Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to picket at least one funeral for the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting and members of the Phelps family are tweeting that the cause of the shooting is related to the legalization of same-sex marriage around the United States. The Westboro Baptist Church is most well-known for picketing funerals of members of the military that were killed in action. As a swift response to the statements regarding picketing within Newtown, members of Anonymous quickly started attacking the Westboro Baptist Church official site in order to bring it offline. In addition, Anonymous updated and republished the personal information of the alleged members affiliated with the Westboro Baptist Church. This includes names, email addresses, dates of birth, home and work phone numbers, the home addresses of the members and the relationships between the members of the group. Anonymous did not release details related to how they located this personal information, but previously called the release #OPWestboro. Within the video message, the voice over states "From the time you have received this message, our attack protocol has past been executed and your downfall is underway. Do not attempt to delude yourselves into thinking you can escape our reach, for we are everywhere, and all-seeing, in the same sense as God. We are a body of individuals who fight for a purpose higher than self, and seek to bring the malevolent intent of the malefactors to light. We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming." This isn't the first time Anonymous has attacked the Westboro Baptist Church. During early 2011, the group took down the Westboro Baptist Church site during a live, televised interview between Shirley Phelps-Roper and a member of Anonymous. While Anonymous has been busy attacking the Westboro Baptist Church, petitions attempting to classify the organization as a hate group have been created on the official White House site. The petition titled "Legally recognize Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group," has gathered over 83,000 signatures since the creation on December 14.

The Port Arthur News
When the lunch bell rings at Memorial High School silent halls are filled with students coming from every nook and cranny, rushing to be the first in line for whatever is on the menu.
But now, instead of sweet snacks and pre-packaged meals, students are offered low-calorie, high-nutrition dishes.
New, healthier regulations for school lunches were implemented by the United States Department of Agriculture for the first time this year, and districts like Port Arthur ISD have eagerly acclimated to the changes.
Championed by first lady Michelle Obama, the new rules placed caps on calorie counts, required schools to offer fresh fruits and vegetables, and reduced sodium and trans-fat levels. Bread and rolls are now whole grain instead of flour, and all milk is low-fat or fat-free.
According to the USDA's summary report, the "intent of the proposed rule was to provide nutrient-dense meals (high in nutrients and low in calories) that better meet the dietary needs of school children and protect their health."
Rozana Watson, cafeteria manager at Memorial High School, said students have the option to take two fruits and two vegetables but are only required to take one of the servings.
The cafeteria at PAISD's only high school has four different sections, including a salad and fiesta line, giving students a large selection from which to choose.
"We're just like Luby's," Watson said.
The key to getting students to eat fruits and vegetables, Watson said, is to provide what they want to eat, like pineapples and strawberries, and make the food look fresh.
"If you have food they like it's easier to give it to them," she said. "They're our customers and we have to make this appealing to them."
Mark Porterie, deputy superintendent for PAISD, said the district has received no formal complaints from students or parents save a few mumblings about rice.
"They're used to eating white rice, so when they see the brown rice it's a little different to them," he said.
PAISD started providing free lunches to all students this year. The combination of the district's new policy and the healthier regulations has more students eating school lunches than before, Porterie said.
"We were already serving breakfast, and now we're serving lunch," he said. "We see, especially in our secondary schools, that they're eating the free lunch and going to the snack bar. So they're getting a good meal every deal."
The snack bar, where students can purchase individual items not on the regular menu, also has to adhere to the new guidelines.
Not every school district is meeting the new rules with PAISD's enthusiasm, however, as complaints from students have become more common in other lunch lines.
Linda Schnur, child nutrition director for Nederland ISD, said most of the complaints she receives are about the changes to homemade dinner rolls.
"They're smaller and they're whole grain instead of being nice, fluffy white rolls," she said. "I haven't had any parent complaints that I know of, but the kiddos are not real happy. They ask at the cashier: 'Does your boss know about this?'"
Schnur said she is not completely sold on the new rules because they do not take every student's needs into consideration. Athletes, especially football players, need the extra calories, she said.
"We're reducing the amount of carbohydrates and proteins that they can have at lunch," she said. "Yes, we're increasing fruits and vegetables, but some people just need more."
Texas was already among the leaders in advanced child nutrition regulations before these new guidelines were put in place, according to Schnur.
And just because students are required to take a fruit or vegetable, she said, does not necessarily mean they eat them.
"They're taking the fruits and vegetables and throwing them in the trash," she said. "Every time I'm in an elementary, not so much for the older kids, I hear them talking about how they have to take but don't have to eat it."
Robert Madding, superintendent for NISD, said he thinks nutrition should be controlled on the local level.
"We know what our kids need," he said. "Before this was implemented, we were in the parameters of the guide lines. I think we should go back to that, personally."

DJ Q-Bert (b. Richard Quitevis) first emerged in the underground turntablist scene as a member of San Francisco's Invisibl Skratch Piklz (with D-Styles, Yogafrog, MixMaster Mike, and Shortkut). Along with other Bay Area groups like the X-Men and the World Famous Beat Junkies, the Piklz were determined to re-establish the DJs place in rap music. Looking backward into rap's past and forward into its future, Q-Bert and the Skratch Piklz championed a move away from the empty showmanship DJing had become toward the essential elements of technique and musicianship. Q-Bert in particular embarked on a mission outside the rap community, to dispel misconceptions about the DJs art through teaching and preaching the gospel of the turntable.
Q-Bert's DJ skills were recognized as early as 1985. In 1994, he released his mix tape Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik, a 60-minute nonstop scratch and breakbeat extravaganza which increased his profile (the tape made the Wire magazines essential Turntablism Primer list in January 1999). Wider recognition came with the birth of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz in 1995. The all-DJ group quickly established itself as an unstoppable live force at underground shows and DJ Competitions. They reigned supreme at the Disco Mixing Club (DMC) World Championship, taking its title three years in a row. They were so dominant at the event that they were asked to abstain from further competitions. Q-Bert then took a spot on the judge's panel. The Invisibl Skratch Piklz toured the globe throughout the latter part of the 1990s. Various members took their craft outside of the live arena and into middle schools, high schools, and universities (and onto the Turntable TV videos) where they gave seminars and tutorials on DJ history and technique.
In 1996, Q-Bert leant his deft scratch-work to Dr. Octagon's classic Dr. Octagonecologyst album. As a Skratch Pikl, he contributed to The Invisibl Skratch Piklz Vs. The Klamz Uv Deth (an enhanced CD released in 1997), Bomb Hip Hop's Return of the DJ, Vol. 1 (the menacing Invasion of the Octopus People), numerous breakbeat compilations (Dirtstyle) and the Shiggar Fraggar Show series. Q-Bert's conventional solo debut came in 1998 with the (first?) turntable concept album Wave Twisters.
Q-Bert has become a sort of ambassador for the turntable. He has gained great respect both for his spectacular skills (including numerous scratch inventions) and for his work to help the turntable community. Along with Mix Master Mike, he was inducted into the DMC DJ Hall of Fame in 1998. As a group, the Invisibl Skratch Piklz made A. Magazine's 100 Most Influential Asian American's list in 1999. That same year, the group called it quits in an amicable breakup. Q-Bert kept busy, lecturing at Scratchcon 2000 and launching Wave Twisters the movie (an animated feature film based on the album). ~ Nathan Bush, Rovi

Audit on tow lot site selection process released
Today, the City Auditor's Office released a performance audit on the process the City used to select a new tow lot site. The purpose of the audit was to determine whether the proposed site for the City's new tow lot is the best available location.
The audit concludes that the proposed site for the tow lot is not a suitable location. There are flooding problems with the site, alternative uses for the site recommended by staff in other City departments, environmental concerns from state and federal regulatory agencies, and neighborhood opposition.
The audit also concludes that the City did not follow a reasonable process in selecting the proposed tow lot site. Because there is not any Citywide guidance on site selection, one employee conducted the search with limited input from other City departments and without input from regulatory agencies and neighborhood stakeholders. In addition, not all potential tow lot sites were identified prior to the selection.
The report includes recommendations for the city manager to develop procedures for selecting sites for City facilities and for the director of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department to use the new procedures when seeking a proposed site for the new tow lot. Management agreed with the recommendations.
This report should be accessible from www.kcmo.org/auditor by 3 p.m.

Yeah. Except for their new song "Kick in the Teeth" or whatever. Heard it once. Hated it.
I'm a massive PR fan, and have been for about 10 years now.
Unfortunately I cop a lot of crap over it, and over my love of LP, because my friends group is a "metal" group, and most of the other music I listen to is Black, Death or Prog Metal.
I hate copping crap, but honestly, I was like 13 years old when I first heard and fell in love with both bands, and I'm not going to stop loving bands and music I literally grew up with just because people think I'm uncool.
Fave PR song?
Mine changes a lot, at the moment it's The Addict.

Durhams Carrack Modern Art is a beehive of activity.
The gallery, at 111 W. Parrish St., opened in June 2011 as a zero-commission, no-cost-to-artists community art space. Every 10 days, a selected artist gets the door keys, the help of Carrack supporters, and the freedom to transform the space for this time as he or she wishes.
On Tuesday, when Libby Lynn raises the curtains on her show, the Carrack will be abuzz even more than usual.
Lynn will have more than 70 paintings on display, created using encaustic medium, the main ingredient of which is beeswax.
For the duration of the show, there will be a living beehive in the gallery, Lynn said.
Beekeeper Matthew Yearout is making the beehive installation possible and assured Lynn it would not hurt the bees. Yearout will give a talk in the gallery on urban beekeeping at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
At the exhibit opening from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Jude Casseday will perform a soundscape that she composed.
In August, I placed microphones in two of Matthews beehives and recorded the sounds, Casseday said. This soundscape includes samplings of Libbys encaustic process torches, fusing and the chopping of beeswax as it melts samplings from the beehive recording, and my own composition. The soundscape, titled Hot Wax/Shadowdoubt/BeeSynthony, will loop in the gallery for the duration of the exhibit.
You tend to think of encaustic works as creatures since they smell faintly like honey, Lynn said. You work so closely with the beeswax as you are hovering over the hot griddle used to melt it. You gain a respect for bees.
Encaustic medium, which in its simplest translation is melted beeswax colored with pigment, has been used for millennia but has never been mainstream. When artist Jasper Johns spoke about using it in creating some of his paintings, it emerged from its relative obscurity.
It is having a huge renaissance right now, and I think it has to do with social media and people having access to information, Lynn said. Influential people in the encaustic community really do a great job of promoting their work. When people find out about it, they are fascinated.
It is unusual, she added. It is not something you grow up learning about.
It is also not a very easy way to make art.
When you are working with wax, you are working between a solid and a liquid, and it is very difficult to control, Lynn said.
As she will show in a demo about encaustic painting from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, one of the core principles of encaustic is fusing where each layer of laid-down medium is fused to the layer below in order to secure it. Some of Lynns works have up to 40 layers.
Fusing is difficult. I think it is the hardest thing about encaustic in terms of getting the effect you want, she said.
Lynn will give an artists talk at 7 p.m. Nov. 26, and the show ends Nov. 30.
Lynn, who creates in many media, including video, got drawn into the encaustic world after she saw three very small pieces by Kate Kretz at Raleighs Artspace. I could not figure out what medium she had made them in, said Lynn. Once she learned about encaustic, she was inspired to take a class in it at the Penland School of Crafts. Now, Lynn teaches classes in the medium at Happymess and at the Durham Arts Council.
Several of the paintings in Lynns exhibit are of a mystery woman who is never far from Lynns mind.
In addition to her paintings, the exhibit will have lockets, brooches, rings, bracelets and earrings that Lynn made using encaustic medium.
All of the pieces are for sale, most at prices that even a child who has a sated piggybank can afford. I believe that art should be affordable and accessible to as many people as possible, Lynn said. Art is important, and I think that we have forgotten that.

Three people found sleeping in a car were arrested early Friday morning on drug-related charges thanks to the stellar snout of a police dog, Novato police said.
Cpt. Kevin Naugle contacted three people inside a vehicle at the Armstrong Drive park-and-ride lot, just off Atherton Avenue, at 12:53 a.m. According to Sgt. Nick Frey, Naugle retrieved his narcotics-trained dog, Ingo, from his police cruiser and the dog detected drugs inside the suspect vehicle.
A search revealed several bags of suspected cocaine and marijuana, Frey said.
All three people were arrested and booked at Marin County Jail — Shasta Lynn Fox, 23, of Oakland; Casey Wade Fox, 25, of Arcata; and Courtney Mangas, 22, of Arcata. Each faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sale, and possession of more than an ounce of marijuana.

By Mike Harrington
We had not heard from Henrik Tallinder since he was traded back to the Sabres from New Jersey in July. But everyone figured he would be happy with the deal -- and he confirmed the feeling Wednesday in his first meeting with the Buffalo media.
"I was a little bit surprised," Tallinder said today after taking his pre-camp physical. "I didn't know that Buffalo was interested. I knew something was going to happen because I had a long conversation with the [Devils GM Lou Lamoriello] after the season and we made it both pretty clear what we wanted. Then Buffalo got involved and I was a little bit surprised."
Tallinder spoke to the media before coach Ron Rolston, who surprised the gathering by saying Tallinder will start camp paired with Mark Pysyk and not with Tyler Myers. The prevailing wisdom was that a Myers-Tallinder pairing was a lock, giving Myers' Calder Trophy-winning season in 2010 with Tallinder. Rolston, however, said Myers will start with Christian Ehrhoff.
For his part, Tallinder said Myers can quickly get back to his star-studded rookie season.
"I think Tyler is an exceptional young man and player," Tallinder said. "When he came in his first year, I've never seen a guy that talented and that good at that age. Or very few of them, that I"ve played with at least. I think he's still young. I think you guys have been pretty hard on him too. He's going to be an exceptionally good player still. Just give him time. Let him play."
Tallinder played just 64 games with the Devils the last two years due to injuries and the fact he fell out of favor with coach Peter DeBoer. He said his goal this year is to be a regular on the crowded Buffalo blueline and he knows the team needs him to be a leader with its young defense corps.
"I might not be the most vocal guy but if I have something to say, I'm saying it," Tallinder noted. "I'm not afraid any more of saying what I want."

MOORHEAD, MN (WDAY/CNN) - Police followed a fleeing pickup onto a golf course in Moorhead, MN.
Authorities say 33-year-old Kendall Feist took off after officers attempted to serve him with outstanding drug warrants. He was later arrested after the chase ended at a mall in Fargo, ND.
Large swaths of the golf course were damaged in the pursuit.
An employee at the course said the chase sent golfers running to avoid getting hit.
The suspect is facing felony drug charges along with felony charges for fleeing police and criminal property damage.
Moorhead police are now conducting an internal investigation as to whether officers followed correct protocol in following the suspect onto the golf course.
Officials say the department is also reviewing its chase policies.

Linux turns 17
Free minix-like kernel sources for 386-AT, was the subject of Linus Benedict Torvalds post to comp.os.minix on October 5, 1991 -- seventeen years ago today. it began,
Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just dying to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? Are you finding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more all-nighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be just for you :-)
As I mentioned a month(?) ago, I'm working on a free version of a minix-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the stage where it's even usable (though may not be depending on what you want), and I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It is just version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I've successfully run bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress etc under it.
Linus didn't know what he was unleashing with "an OS you can try to modify to your needs" -- yet. But what started as a fun vetting of one *nix became the largest barn-raising in the history of computing. (By the way, i remembered this date while on another hunt for information, in Encyclopedia Brittanica, where today Linux' birthday is the Home Page story. Oddly, it fails to get a mention in today's Wikipedia cover page.)Today that barn is vast world still being terraformed. Why did Linux succeed where others did not, or did to lesser extents?
I think Neal Stephenson nails it best in his landmark book, In the Beginning Was The Command Line, the whole text of which you can read here. Written in the late 1990s, it still rings true today. A core sample:
Windows 95 and MacOS are products, contrived by engineers in the service of specific companies. Unix, by contrast, is not so much a product as it is a painstakingly compiled oral history of the hacker subculture. It is our Gilgamesh epic.
What made old epics like Gilgamesh so powerful and so long-lived was that they were living bodies of narrative that many people knew by heart, and told over and over again--making their own personal embellishments whenever it struck their fancy. The bad embellishments were shouted down, the good ones picked up by others, polished, improved, and, over time, incorporated into the story. Likewise, Unix is known, loved, and understood by so many hackers that it can be re-created from scratch whenever someone needs it. This is very difficult to understand for people who are accustomed to thinking of OSes as things that absolutely have to be bought.
Many hackers have launched more or less successful re-implementations of the Unix ideal. Each one brings in new embellishments. Some of them die out quickly, some are merged with similar, parallel innovations created by different hackers attacking the same problem, others still are embraced, and adopted into the epic. Thus Unix has slowly accreted around a simple kernel and acquired a kind of complexity and asymmetry about it that is organic, like the roots of a tree, or the branchings of a coronary artery. Understanding it is more like anatomy than physics.
For at least a year, prior to my adoption of Linux, I had been hearing about it. Credible, well-informed people kept telling me that a bunch of hackers had got together an implentation of Unix that could be downloaded, free of charge, from the Internet. For a long time I could not bring myself to take the notion seriously. It was like hearing rumors that a group of model rocket enthusiasts had created a completely functional Saturn V by exchanging blueprints on the Net and mailing valves and flanges to each other.
But it's true. Credit for Linux generally goes to its human namesake, one Linus Torvalds, a Finn who got the whole thing rolling in 1991 when he used some of the GNU tools to write the beginnings of a Unix kernel that could run on PC-compatible hardware. And indeed Torvalds deserves all the credit he has ever gotten, and a whole lot more. But he could not have made it happen by himself, any more than Richard Stallman could have. To write code at all, Torvalds had to have cheap but powerful development tools, and these he got from Stallman's GNU project.
Yet for all of the successes of LInux and the Net, of half a million open source projects, of immeasurable progress by companies taking advantage of sturdy building material grown in the wilds of hacker culture, businesses still remain, as Walt Whitman so perfectly put it, "demented with the mania of owning things". Nine years have passed since Jeremie Miller introduced XMPP (then still Jabber), and Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL still maintain closed instant messaging systems. Mobile phone companies and equipment providers still make devices and platforms that are purposely incompatible with those of competitors. Companies still look for ways to use software hardware/software combinations to "lock in" their customers, as if slavery were something any sane customer would want.
There are signs of progress, as there always will be, until World Domination (a term that showed up more than a decade ago) is complete. Until Google introduced the Linux-based Android, Linux-based mobile phones were nearly (or just as) closed as those from Symbian and Windows Mobile. But Nokia bought Linux developer Trolltech in January and Symbian in July -- and then announced its intent to open-source the latter.
Nokia knows that a free customer is better than a captive one. And that the same goes for developers.

Ubuntu Tweak Released

Paljon onnea! :)
Paljon onnea! :)
Happy Birthday TUX!
great article! and great emphasis on the word FREE.
Not free software
Linux was not free software when it was announced, or when it was first released. Linux became free in 1992 when Linus rereleased it under the GNU GPL. (See the release notes for version 0.12.)
It was free - it just didn't need lawyers yet
If you read the original email you can see that the intention was to release it free. Moving it under GPL only formalised that but it's ridiculous to claim that Linux hasn't been free from the beginning.
Freedom does not depend on legal permission - that is your decision as author.
Versions of FREE
From my conversations with Linus, at least at times he felt that licensing Linux under the GPL was a mistake. It was not that he didn't want to make it available to everyone but that it wasn't clear that the baggage the GPL added was the right thing to do.
Now, before the GPL flame war starts, we know that a Linux distribution contains a lot of software from a lot of sources including code from the GNU project, other GPLed software, BSD software and so on. Thus, his concerns had to do with the license for the kernel, not what one sees as the whole Linux package.
Phil Hughes
World domination
The phrase "world domination" was used decades earlier by the late, great English comedian Peter Cooke, in his E.L. Wisty persona.
Wisty was the founder and IIRC sole member of the World Domination League, whose motto (c1963) was (again from memory) "World Domination by 1958".
Members of the League would knock on people's houses and say "Hello, I'm from the World Domination League, may I dominate you?"
happy birthday!
Great article, doc! With all the vast hordes of noobs flooding into Linux-land, it becomes more important to keep the history of it alive, and to remind them that it's not "free as in freeloader", but free as in freedom.
Not knowing what we get into
It's seems ironic that most great things start off with humble begins, and those who would like to start a movement from day one never get much past day one.
Thanks for the great article,
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

what do you think would look best? thanks
guys and gals im about to get this grille but i cant decide from this :-
or to get the same with gloss black grille with chrome outing around it? like this
what do you think would look best? thanks
I have the s-line which has the greyish centre and chrome outer, i was wanting the full black optics grille as in your pic but i'm not sure if it suits a light colour car (mine is also akoya)
I guess with black mirrors it wont look odd from the front view?

I think the black grille suits the car more mate
yeah im gonna get the full black but the black optic grille.... is it gloss black with a shine or just like a satin black colour?
Mines akoya too and i've never been happy with the black optics on any akoya i've seen, just doesnt pull it off aswell as any other colours!
B6 1.8T Avant s line gmbh
yeah but is the grill shiny black or like a dull black?
The full black grill is far better, matches the fog surrounds etc! That grill looks ace with tints too! I think its good on lighter cars as well as darker ones, a good contrast!

yeah well like i said im gonna get all black plus i have tinits but i just want to know about the colour exactly........... is it shiny gloss black or a dull satin black colour?
I believe the outer trim is gloss black and the grill mesh is matt. IIRC
the black looks better, maybe vinyl the lights darker also?

hmmm im not to sure on the lights im debating changing the lights for some of those day line running lights but really unsure atm

Well, my car has gone in today for it's S-Line conversion (WOOHOO!) - anyway, my car is Avus Silver which is a darker pearlescent silver to the Akoya - I'm fitting the FK-Grille (matt black grille with matt black surround - same as scotties) and also paintning the mirrors same colour as the grille.
You could hold off making a decision til the end of the week and I'll provide you some pics to assist your decision...
My opinion though on your dilemma is that the chrome surround actually looks classier on your car - each to their own though

Yeah, you'd be right. I think the next youngest person is 30. Geez, you can't even get into a bar?
Haha unfortunately, not until July. Well, under normal circumstances. I drink all the time at Sky Bar and a few local joints on 4th Ave in Tucson. I have military duty up in Prescott, so I've drank on Whiskey Row a few times. You'd be surprised at what some scruff on your face and a military ID will get you. But Phoenix is definitely strict when it comes to drinking, and I haven't had any luck here in town.
We'll see you in July! j/k

hope to see you all there!
well i'd like to say that my first tough mudder was a success! i did way better than i thought i would! i finished the entire course (11 miles, 21 obstacles) in 2 hours and 31 minutes, while my friend did it in 1 hour and 40 minutes. the course had 6 water/first aid stations spread through out the course, they also provided bananas and clif bars which came in handy because my legs began to cramp in the last mile.

I love the part where they paint us as a bunch of mole people who hide from the sun for 100 days out of the year!
i like the article, but it's a bit sensationalist. a major power grid failure in a city that relies on heaters would be a big deal too. it's not like everyone has fireplaces or that we want to chop down all the trees to go back to that. also, the wind can be an issue, but really only in the summer. it's not like buildings are falling down left and right. and "increasing" storms is a claim i'd like proven. i remember much more frequent and severe monsoons/dust-storms NOT HABOOBS, NOT A PHOENIX TERM YOU FUCKING TWATS THAT USE THIS STUPID WORD when i was a kid because there was less development around me. the further you get into the developed areas of the city, the less pronounced the monsoons are. but they are right, water is a major issue we pretty much ignore here in phoenix.
also the fires were started by PEOPLE (arsonists & campers), not nature. not the state trying to burn itself up. any goddamned forest is subject to a fucking fire.

Word that Wal-Mart is opening a Neighborhood Market in Panorama City is getting a markedly different reception than the criticism heaped on a similar grocery-only store that the retailing giant plans to open in downtown Los Angeles.
Residents of the northeast San Fernando Valley have watched as the recession turned once-thriving commercial hubs into vacant storefronts. The Vannord Center, a 90,000-square-foot-center at the corner of busy Van Nuys Boulevard and Nordhoff Street, has been hit particularly hard with more than half of its 30 tenants closing their doors.

A traffic stop resulted in the discovery of guns and methamphetamine early in the morning Nov. 18.
Chickasha Police Officer Joel Hendrix said he saw a vehicle driving west bound in the east bound lane in the 3300 block of W. Old Highway 62. Hendrix said he activated his lights, and as he approached the car he noticed the driver side window was already down.
Hendrix identified the driver as Aaron Powers.
"Powers appeared to be very worried about me making contact with him," said Hendrix.
A rifle was in plain view, according to Hendrix. Powers said there were multiple guns in the vehicle.
"I located a black 9mm pistol under the passenger seat that contained a fully loaded magazine, but did not have one in the chamber," said Hendrix. "During my investigation I also located an unloaded AR-15 in the back seat and another rifle. I also located a .38 special revolver in the glove box that was unloaded."
Hendrix said he also located a glass pipe with white residue lying in the weeds on the edge of the road.
The residue inside of the pipe was later field tested and tested positive for methamphetamine.
"The location of the pipe compared to the driver side window would be consistent with the driver 'tossing' the pipe out the window," said Hendrix.
Hendrix learned Powers and his passenger both had previous convictions for drugs.
Powers said he knew nothing about the pipe and it was never in his vehicle, according to Hendrix.
"After explaining how I believed he threw the pipe out of the window before I pulled in behind the vehicle, he did not deny it," said Hendrix. "Powers would only tell me he just wants to be good and go home to his son and see his daughter being born."
Hendrix also located a schedule III Hydrocodone in the car.
Powers was arrested for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of paraphernalia and several other charges.

If Plushenko return continues into a major event at some point (Worlds or Olympics, which I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt) he has no chance to beat Chan barring a 4 or 5 splatfest from Chan. A clean Plushenko couldnt even beat a quadless Lysacek in Vancouver, and Chan today is a far better skater in everyway than Lysacek, and has the Worlds best quads (when landed) to boot. Add to that the judges are absolutely infatuated with Chan and are overmarking him even more significantly than they did Evan in the year after he won Worlds, and you get the picture.
Chan is prone to error, but his errors werent even enough to allow a clean or close to clean LP from Takahashi at both the 2012 Worlds and 2012 GP final to beat him the LP phase. So they sure as heck wouldnt be enough for an old Plushenko who could never match Takahashi from those events at this point. Takahashi has actually been jumping fairly consistently lately, which would be an old Plushenko's only possible edge over Takahashi, so with that said Takahashi right now has a better shot vs Chan or anyone else than old Plushenko, although even that isnt very much at all with the judges 30 point Chanflation per competition.
The being old caramel is getting old though, he is way past his prime age but the rest arent getting any younger, we are not talking about Hanyu generation, Daisuke, Abott and a bunch more will be 28 and 29 in Sochi, older than what old Plushenko was in Vancouver, and I see Daisuke becoming better every season.
Although Chan will be in the ideal for OGM age

Paladino discussing Conservative candidacy in NYC
October 9, 2013 - 9:47 AM
By Robert J. McCarthy
When New York State Conservatives gathered Tuesday night in Manhattan for their annual dinner, it's a sure bet that Buffalo's Carl Paladino may have just been the most scrutinized man in the room.
The 2010 Republican candidate for governor is strongly hinting he may run again in 2014 if the GOP fails to field a strong and well-financed candidate. Only this time he is exploring a run on the Conservative line, an effort some observers say could threaten the Republican position on the second line of the ballot.
What is he telling Conservatives gathering in the Sheraton Towers Hotel?
"If they can't pick a good Republican candidate who is qualified and not just another RINO [Republican in Name Only], I may take up Mike Long on his offer," he said, referring to conversations he said he has had with state Conservative Chairman Michael R. Long about a potential Conservative candidacy.

Northern Virginia will see sunny skies Tuesday, with only a high of 25 degrees and with blustery winds up to 30 MPH, it will feel even chillier.

Thursday will also be sunny with the temperatures inching up a few degrees up to 27 degrees.
Snow in the forecast?
In addition to the deep freeze this week, the other big news from the National Weather Service for Northern Virginia: A 60 percent chance of seeing snow and sleet Friday.
The Weather Channel predicts a 70 percent chance of a wintry mix for the area. The Capital Weather Gang gives the area a 30 percent chance of seeing 1 inch of snow Friday.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- It's late morning in downtown Portland.
A young woman in her 20's sits on the sidewalk between two men also in their 20's, brushing her teeth. She turns and spits into the gutter.
The scene at SW 3rd and Oak is one of many things frustrating business owners like Brad Popick, President of the Portland Outdoor Store.
"It's annoying. It's completely annoying," he said.
Popick's building is across the street from the woman brushing her teeth. He blames her and as many as 40 others who are part of a larger camping group trash and dog poop on the sidewalks of downtown.
"The disaster we have in the morning sometimes, not as much the last two weeks because they've really controlled it. But it is a complete disaster area in the morning," Popick said.
And that's just the beginning. Police say some in the group are intimidating and aggressive.
"We've had reports of females being followed to their cars with their children and being kinda accosted for money and that sort of thing, so real aggressive panhandling to the point of real intimidation for folks," said Sgt. Cliff Bachigalup from the Portland Police Bureau.
Police say the group is made up of young adults who travel the country and began showing up in Portland three to four years ago. They typically stay in town through the summer until the weather changes in the fall.
As complaints have mounted, police have focused extra attention on the group.
As KGW cameras watched, police and animal control gave a woman from the group with a dog a warning about the animal. A few blocks away at SW 1st and Stark, officers arrested another group member named Bryan Vachter. He'd been charged with drinking in public but skipped the court date.
As we monitored police, several people told us about the group's tactics of intimidation.
"About two blocks down we have the carts, a whole street of carts and then what they do is hang out at the corner and they literally will block you from getting into carts and stuff like that," said James T. Robinson who works downtown.
Anthony Benjamin is a member of the group. He said he's originally from Seattle. "Yeah, we're travelers, train kids, travelers, whatever you want to, hobos," he said.
He claims police are unfairly targeting them.
"And now they're going to take all of our dogs so we can't leave. If you want us gone, let us leave!" he said.
Animal control seized 3 dogs for not having rabies shots.
Police said they will continue to focus on the group until the weather changes.
"It's a big issue," said Sgt. Bachigalup. "It probably is the central issue around the transitory traveler population. When the weather gets bad, historically what we know is alot of those folks will leave town," he said.

Tears, smiles and profound feelings were shared by all of the Atlacatl team. To Odir Miranda, president and executive director of Atlacatl, this is an important step in the effort to reduce the levels of stigma and discrimination that persist in Salvadorian society.
On 6 April, Atlacatl presented a petition to the State and on the 7 May, with outspoken support from members of parliament of the ARENA and FMLN parties, legislators united in approval of the petition with the majority of votes in favour.
The National Day of Solidarity with People living with HIV will be recognised in El Salvador as of the 12 May each year. The date was chosen because the Altacatl, which has been influential in shaping HIV-related national policy, was founded on the 12 May 1998 and celebrated its 12th year this year.
Odir Miranda is one of the estimated 35,000 people living with HIV in El Salvador and was one of the first to face the resulting stigma and discrimination when he was diagnosed in 1998. He, better than anyone, knows the importance of having a National Day of Solidarity with People living with HIV: 'It is a triumph, but there is still a long way to go,' says Odir.
Atlacatl's success with this petition is the result of the hard work and commitment of people who have dared to take on the struggle to enable people living with HIV in El Salvador and the Central American region to enjoy their Rights. This declaration is the first in the region and will serve as an example to other countries.

With Seattle's very young Academy program it was going to be a while before they signed their first HomeGrown Player. Today they no longer wait. DeAndre Yedlin (Akron, Sounders U23s, Sounders...
Seattle has yet to sign a HomeGrown Player. This may be the offseason that they sign one. If so what do we know?
From the dreams of one man comes a method to loosen the MLS salary cap in a way that rewards talent evaluation and increases the chances that players stay within the league.
DeAndre Yedlin named first-team all-conference and all-PDL after a stellar season with the Sounders U23.
If you are the system, you don't get to blame the system.
Someday the Sounders will sign a first HGP. Aaron Kovar belongs on the list of potential players for that selection.
This is part two of a two part series with Real Salt Lake's GM and an agent that has negotiated an HGP deal. More light is getting shined on this rapidly developing portion of the American soccer system every couple of weeks. Takeaway: HGP deals are about to pass GA deals for money
The most complete look at the current state of the HGP rule and the exceptions to the rule that have been granting. Yes, Brent Richards was an exception, but there have been a few others. There's also a nugget that now seems to incentivize a club operating an amateur PDL team in order to main their connections to former U18 players who are then at colleges. The clarity added in this story includes quotes from Todd Durbin of MLS but still reinforces that MLS granted the Timbers an exception that the rest of the league does not receive.

---- — BEVERLY — The Fire Department is investigating a bedroom blaze at an Essex Street senior complex that displaced an elderly man yesterday afternoon.
Led by Capt. Kevin Smith, firefighters responded to 237 Essex St. after receiving a central station alarm at 5:23 p.m. Lt. Donald Philpot said the fire was contained to the first-floor apartment's bedroom, which sustained extensive damage to its furnishings, walls and ceiling.
"It was a pretty quick knockdown," Philpot said. "The guys did a good job."
The lone occupant of the apartment was out shopping at the time, and nobody was injured.
A neighbor told firefighters that they believed the man had a propane tank inside his residence, but that report proved to be erroneous, Philpot said.
Although the fire did not extend beyond the bedroom, the man's unit did sustain heavy smoke damage to the bathroom. Two neighboring apartments also sustained smoke damage.
Headquarters coverage was provided by Salem, Danvers and Manchester-by-the-Sea during the incident.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, and investigators were still on the scene around 8 p.m.

"No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for 'the least of these.'" — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our 4th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service was truly incredible! It was the Alameda County Community Food Bank's single-largest volunteer shift ever.
With 195 volunteers from local scout troops, churches, schools and businesses, we sorted, packed, bagged and boxed more than 40,000 pounds of food in just three hours.
Community members also dropped by with bags of food donations — like tuna, cereal, soup and beans — throughout the morning.
Volunteers bagged pears, green apples, and red apples together. They also checked expiration dates and package quality on eight tons of holiday food-drive donations. Though they accomplished a lot, we still need help from volunteers every day. You can learn more about volunteering in the new year by clicking here.
And no matter where you are, our Virtual Food Drive is still open — click here to chip in by "shopping" virtually for our most-needed items.
Thank you for your support! We truly couldn't do our work without you.

Officer Olivieri had served with the Nassau County Police Department for 14 year and had previously served with the New York City Police Department for five years.
Wake/Funeral for Nassau Cop Killed on LIE to be Held in Ronkonkoma - Sachem, NY Patch

Funeral St Joseph's RC church in Ronkonkoma noon on Monday.
He responded to a hit & run car accident on the Long Island Expressway. The fleeing vehicle hit another car about 1000 yards away and both the 2nd and 3rd cars were perpendicular to the highway. He was outside of his vehicle talking to the driver of the h&r vehicle when he was struck by a 4th vehicle who didn't see the accident due to the time of day (about 5am) and that the cars involved in the accident didn't have their lights visible for oncoming traffic. the h&r driver was arrested for DWI (.09 BAC), criminal possession of a controlled substance, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and vehicular manslaughter, for being intoxicated and causing the death or another. The driver that actually hit him wasn't charged. This is the 2nd cop in a short period of time struck by a vehicle in that agency, and the 2nd in the past 2 years fatally struck on the LIE. I think one article said 35 people in 20 years have been struck by cars on the LIE.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

A Liberal High School social studies teacher has been arrested for sexual exploitation of a child and other charges.
Drake Marshall Foster, 24, was arrested Tuesday, according to a joint statement released by Liberal Police Chief Al Sill and Seward County Attorney Don Scott.
In addition to sexual exploitation of a child, Foster was charged with electronic solicitation, indecent solicitation of a child and promoting obscenity.
Bond was set at $50,000 and Foster's next court appearance was set for Dec. 3.
Paul Larkin, deputy superintendent of the Liberal school system, said that Foster, who had taught social studies, geography and history as well as coached the boys soccer team, had resigned his position.
Larkin said the school district was "in cooperation with the authorities and their investigation" and as a consequence was "not at liberty to discuss the case beyond the resignation."
Foster, according to his Facebook page and Twitter account, moved to Liberal with his wife in June and they began teaching in the Liberal schools in August. It was his first teaching job since graduating from Emporia State University last spring with a Bachelor of Science degree in education.
Foster is from Mulvane. While at Emporia State he was the recruiting chairman at his fraternity and a member of the school's Ambassadors, a group that gave tours and helped recruit students to the university. He also worked as a resident assistant in a dormitory.
