President Obama says he is taking a balanced approach to withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, one that gradually turns security over to the Afghans while preserving the successes of the troop surge.
"Keep in mind that we're talking about 10,000 troops by the end of this year, an additional 23,000 by the end of next summer -- and we'll still have 68,000 troops there, in addition to the coalition partner troops," Obama told Voice of America. "So there is still going to be a substantial presence. But what it does signal is that Afghans are slowly taking more and more responsibility."
In the VOA interview, Obama also commented on:
Afghanistan efforts: "Already there are Afghans out there every day who are fighting the fight, Afghans who are dying on behalf of their country and their freedom and their dignity. And what we want to make sure of is that we continue to be a good partner with that process but also want to send a signal to the Afghan people: This is your country ultimately, and you are going to have responsibilities."
The criticisms of Afghan President Hamid Karzai: "Obviously, there are going to be tensions in a difficult environment where we have a large number of foreign troops inside a country. It is true that there have been times where the tactics on the ground, day to day, result in tensions. But overall, his interest in making sure that Afghanistan is not a safe haven for terrorists, that there is an adherence to the Afghan constitution. Those commitments that he's made are the ones that are entirely consistent with what I see as U.S. interests."
The prospects of a political settlement: "The terms of that political settlement are important, and we've been very clear in our criteria. We will encourage the Afghans, and we ourselves will talk to anybody. But they are going to have to break ties with al-Qaeda, they are going to have to pledge to abide by the Afghan constitution, and they will have to cease violence as a means of bringing about political power. If they take those steps, then I think there is a strong possibility of creating the kind of political settlement that would finally give Afghans relief from 30 years of war."
Pakistan: "Obviously, the operation to take out Osama bin Laden created additional tensions, but I had always been very clear to Pakistan that if we ever found him [bin Laden] and had a shot, that we would take it. ... Pakistan not only has a responsibility but also a deep interest in dealing with terrorist elements that are still in their territory."

I apologize it this is wrong forum, my wife and I are headed to the Great State of Texas for July 4 th weekend! I am legal there, may be my first time traveling armed very curious about the process got some homework to do. Anyone here care to recommend some restaurants for real Texas beef/BBQ?? Not just the places the hotels steer tourists to.
I doubt there are any Gun shops in the downtown area but any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
You absolutely must try Rudy's BBQ! There is one near New braunfels, and another in the northwest side off hwy 151. They also have amazing creamed corn. For steak you can't beat the Saltgrass Steakhouse.
Not barbeque, but I always enjoyed Pappasito's.
The shrimp stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeno wrapped in bacon is THE BOMB......
And while you are in town, for Mexican food, you have to go to Mi Tierra. Near downtown, and it's Christmas all year round. (after a visit, you will understand.)
...enjoy your journey and the Texas hospitality!(should you see the beauty of Texas, pick up your immigration application at the welcome center as you enter the state...we'll act as references for you...for a price...)
Just a general heads up, SA is a pretty rough town and you will want to carry at all times. In short, you can't carry in bars (51% establishments), government buildings (not sure about the Alamo) and a selection of other places that won't effect you. If a location is a 51% they will have a big sign at the door that says "51%" and another sign saying that the UNLICENSED possession of a handgun is a felony (it's a top level misdemeanor normally, in a 51% it's bumped to a felony), for us that means that its a no go for CC. OC is illegal, period. Hopefully you won't have any LE contact, but if you do you are required to inform that you're carrying. There is no actual penalty for failing to do so, but it will make things go much smoother, they will probably get a kick out of your NY permit.
I second Rudy's off 45, also don't speed near Huntsville, there are tons of troopers around there since there is a barrack near there and the big prison complex (where we do the executin'!)...oh, last thing...the river is only 2 feet deep!
If you are traveling w/kids....or if your a kid yourself (like me) Schlitterbahn!!!!!! No it's not a BBQ joint but I went to AIT at Ft. Sam. Had a great time. Also there is this place that serves HUGE pizzas. Can't remember the name, but it was good and had fun there to.

Hey suntzu, it's not crappy at all to carry in Texas. MJB_17 gave you almost all the CC laws you need to know. Don't see why you would think it crappy. Pretty simple to me. Hey, it's Texas- we're friendly.

Skip to comments.Iowa Democrats join abortion activists for sick pro-abortion 'prayers'
Posted on 08/30/2013 5:23:48 PM PDT by lowbridge
'We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care'
If your political goal is to murder as many of the unborn as is humanly possible, no one should be surprised that you're constantly taking the rhetoric to new depths. Today's sick twisting of religion comes to us from a pro-abortion rally in Iowa. There, Des Moines activist Midge Slater delivered one of the creepiest prayers you're ever going to hear.
In attendance were Iowa Democrat gubernatorial candidates Jack Hatch and Tyler Olson. We can only presume that their grasp on religion is tenuous at best, since they apparently support praying for things like this:
(Excerpt) Read more at caintv.com ...
If God does not destroy these people he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
Evil beyond comprehension.
They are not worshipping Yahweh, they are praying to Moloch.
"God will not be mocked."
Or, the full quote:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
—Gallatians, 6:7

Did they draw the pentagram and light the black candles at the points to summon Lucifer before they prayed to him, or was this just an impromptu affair?
This country cannot collapse too soon.
Thanks lowbridge.
That's the campaign ad to run against the scummy subhuman a-holes.
And if they prevail at the ballot box, it'll be time to make sure they don't return to office. But I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Well, at least we know to whom they are praying.
Thank you for the ping, Mr. Civilizations.

Ninety years of Arab Extortion of Jewish National Rights to Palestine -not to reverse the Balfour Declaration. That was only policy. It was to reverse the San Remo Agreement and the League of Nations Mandate and the Anglo American Convention of 1924. These gave the Jews exclusive national or political rights to Palestine -- the right to organize their own government. The civil and religious rights of the Arabs was preserved. That guaranteed the right of the Arabs to a vote equal to that of the Jews in the government that was organized.

David Moyes enjoyed a perfect Goodison Park send-off as his Everton side beat West Ham 2-0 thanks to a double from Kevin Mirallas. In truth the home side should have won more comfortably, with Jussi Jaaskelainen and James Collins to thank for keeping the home side at bay. It was less than six minutes until Everton took the lead. Leighton Baines drove down the left wing, laying the ball back to Marouane Fellaini. Fellaini in turn played in Steven Pienaar, who unselfishly passed to Mirallas rather than shoot himself, and the Belgian's side-foot gave Jaaskelainen no chance. The early goal set the tone for the first half, with Fellaini and Leon Osman acting as the pivot from which full-backs and wingers could operate. Mirallas in particular looked dangerous, and almost had another opportunity to score when the otherwise excellent Collins was involved in a mix-up with his goalkeeper. Halfway through the first half and Jaaskelainen again thwarted Everton from extending their lead. Fel...

Everyone who thinks of buying web hosting for their new sites simply wants nothing less than the best of the server they are planning to host their sites in. So which is the best website hosting site? This question is a bit tricky because so many website hosting services are in place currently and it's very uncertain to single out a web host who will top the industry in each of the respective services. Before we proceed any further, lets first look at some of the web hosting services the industry has.
- Shared Web Hosting
- VPS Hosting
- Managed WordPress Hosting
- Ecommerce Hosting
- Dedicated Hosting
- Cloud Hosting
All these web hosting services can either be on Linux or Windows platform though Linux is so far the most common and affordable of the two platforms. If you realize, a web host that might be king at managed WordPress hosting services might be down-ranked when it comes to shared web hosting services and the same applies to all the other respective categories.
This means you can only single out the best website hosting site basing on a particular web hosting service you intend to sign up for. The size of your website also matters because some web hosting companies like SiteGround have positioned themselves to be among the best web hosts for small companies and sites that don't consume a lot of resources for all the services and platforms mentioned above.
I managed to carry out a research and singled out Bluehost as one of the best website hosting site you can ever sign up with today. Besides their brand, reputation and reviews, Bluehost has definitely managed to position its self among the web hosting companies that provide the best web hosting services of which their reviews have all this to confirm. You can read my Bluehost review for a detailed write up about their web hosting services right from the plans to other points to the expertise of their staff. Bluehost is:
- Fast
- Affordable
- Reputable
- Always Updated with recent web hosting technologies
- Ready to provide you 24/7 support
- Ready to give you Unlimited Disk Space and Bandwidth
- Guaranteeing you over 99.9% Up time
Truth is Bluehost will offer you just more than you expect! I have never regretted hosting any of my sites on their servers for any single time and i know you won't too. You could probably give them a try and test their services but what if you don't like them? Depends, if you are not expecting much traffic then i recommend you give SiteGround a try else you try Hostgator if you are expecting a good amount of traffic on your website.
So many factors should be considered before you choose a web host because any slight obstacles can harm your website in the long run especially in terms of search engine rankings. Don't be moved so easily because of certain unrealistic marketing ploys that web hosting companies adopt recently but rather try to browse through http://whoishostingthis.com for web hosting reviews before you make a final purchase from any web hosting provider.
Basing on those same reviews, Bluehost has one of the most count of positive reviews compared to the rest. This article however doesn't base on that, i managed to experiment through several web hosts and settled for Bluehost. Where is your website currently hosted? Are you happy with your web host? Please share your views below.

Catholics Question Gray Areas of Abuse
Critics Say Some Priests' Misconduct Goes Unpunished Under New GuidelinesNov 30, 2002 | Washington Post
Despite their recent recommitment to a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse, some Roman Catholic bishops across the country are failing to punish priests whose sexual misconduct falls into various gray areas, according to victims' groups, plaintiffs' lawyers and lay Catholic activists.
In the diocese of Paterson, N.J., for example, Bishop Frank Rodimer last week restored a suspended priest to active ministry after a review board of five lay Catholics and three clergymen concluded that the priest's behavior was "inappropriate" but "did not meet the definition of sex abuse" adopted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Dallas in June and modified in Washington two weeks ago.
The alleged victim told the board that the priest touched his genitals in bed at the priest's private home in the early 1970s, according to the victim's lawyer.
"Granted, my client had his underwear on at the time, so the touching was on top of a thin layer of clothing," said the lawyer, Gregory G. Gianforcaro. "But it's incredible to me that they decided it was merely 'inappropriate.' "
Marianna Thompson, spokeswoman for the diocese, said the review board would not comment on its confidential deliberations. "All I can tell you is that the board voted unanimously, seven to zero with one priest abstaining, that the events described did not meet the definition of child sexual abuse" adopted by the bishops' conference, she said.
That definition, as amended this month, says sexual abuse is "an external, objective grave violation" and specifically notes that it does not need to involve force or physical contact.
Because the review board has not explained its reasoning, it is unclear whether its members did not find the victim's testimony credible, believed the touching was inadvertent or concluded that there was some other mitigating circumstance. Gianforcaro said his client, who was in his early teens at the time of the alleged abuse, has not filed a lawsuit seeking damages but is "in a dialogue" with the diocese over possible compensation.
Mark V. Serrano, a leader of the 4,300-member Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said the New Jersey case illustrates that what victims' groups feared might happen is, indeed, happening around the country.
"There is a whole host of priests who are not notorious serial offenders; they're in the gray areas. They're one-time offenders or people accused of lewd and lascivious conduct, and they're going to be put back in ministry," Serrano said.
Leaders of the bishops' conference have said repeatedly that the zero-tolerance policy they adopted in Dallas remains intact, despite some changes made at the behest of the Vatican to ensure due process for accused priests.
"The promise we made in Dallas was that no priest who has ever abused a minor will remain in ministry, and we're sticking to that," said Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport, Conn., who helped draft the Dallas policy and the Vatican-approved revisions.
Under the policy, when a diocese receives a complaint of sexual abuse, the bishop must "promptly" initiate a preliminary investigation. If the investigation finds "sufficient evidence" of abuse, the accused priest is supposed to be placed on temporary leave pending a full investigation and, if necessary, a trial by an internal church tribunal.
The Detroit Free Press reported Thursday that Detroit's Cardinal Adam Maida has allowed a pastor to continue serving in a parish despite allegations against him by two women who say he molested them as teenagers in the 1950s and '60s. The first victim came forward five months ago, and the second came forward two months ago, the newspaper said, citing documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request to the Macomb County Prosecutor's office.
Monsignor Walter Hurley, who oversees the response to sex abuse allegations for the Detroit archdiocese, said yesterday that the archdiocese is not certain the two allegations are about the same priest. The issue, he said, is what constitutes "sufficient evidence" that abuse has occurred.
"We have a record of removing priests from the ministry when we have a basis to proceed, but this is an unusual case for us," Hurley said. "We're not certain of the identity of the priest in the second allegation and the priest who was accused in the first place has a long record of faithful service. That's not to say that something may not have happened, but we just need to be careful."
In Milwaukee this week, lay Catholics protested the archdiocese's plan to give a temporary parish assignment to a priest who has repeatedly been charged by police with indecent acts, including a 1989 arrest for engaging in sexual activity with a 34-year-old truck driver and a 1999 charge of "prostitution-masturbation" for which the priest paid a $1,000 fine.
"This priest's continued work in the church is a scandal to the faithful, and it should be a source of discomfort to the hierarchy," said Albert P. Szews, president of the Milwaukee chapter of Catholics United for the Faith, one of the lay groups objecting to the priest's reassignment.
Jerry Topczewski, spokesman for the archdiocese of Milwaukee, noted that none of the charges has involved a minor. "I'm not saying it doesn't matter. I'm just saying he's never been accused of sexual abuse of a minor, and the charter that was adopted in Dallas and modified in Washington deals only with minors," he said.
Topczewski added that the priest has been serving as a liaison to retired, sick and elderly priests. His return to regular parish work was approved by a panel of fellow priests last summer but was "prematurely" disclosed in a parish newsletter this month, the spokesman said.
"It was published in the bulletin, but it was never finalized. He was never there, and he's not going there," Topczewski said.

Many studies and published documents have demonstrated that increased fluoride exposure is directly linked to increased periodontal disease. From a public health perspective, any study that demonstrates increased fluoride exposure may increase the risk of developing periodontal disease or other illnesses are of major importance. This is especially the case when Ireland has globally one of the highest prevalences of periodontal disease combined with the highest number of premature deaths from ischemic heart disease in the EU[5] and periodontal disease is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
1. Introduction
2. Historical evidence
3. Recent literature
The CDC as with the Health Department in Ireland have claimed that community water fluoridation is the most effective method for preserving oral health. If tooth loss is a measurement of oral tooth health, then one would expect to see much lower rates of edentulism (tooth loss) in fluoridated communities. This has not occurred in the U.S nor coencidentally has it occurred in Europe (Fig 1) where much higher rates of tooth loss are also reported in fluoridated communities.
Generally speaking, it is apparent that when the percentage of fluoridated individuals increases, so does the percentage of people with missing teeth. There appears to be no life long reduction in dental decay that can be directly attributable to water fluoridation and instead there appears to be an increase in tooth loss associated with fluoridation amongst the older population who have the longest exposure compared to non fluoridated communities.
The CDC report findings would support this in noting:"The prevalence of edentate persons (i.e., those who have lost all their natural teeth) ranged from 13% in Hawaii and California to 42% in Kentucky." The lowest rates of tooth loss in people over 60 years of age occur in the states with the lowest rates of water fluoridation.
While in Europe the prevalence ranged form 48% in fluoridated Republic of Ireland to 17% in Sweden, 18% in Denmark, 15 % in Italy, 36% in the UK and 40% in Northern Ireland. In other words, the highest rates of tooth loss in people over 60 years of age occur in the regions with the highest rates of water fluoridation.
It is likely that the higher incidence of dental fluorosis recorded in fluoridated communities, itself a visible sign of overexposure to fluoride, is also a contributor to this phenomenon. However it should be noted, that this in itself is not an accurate reflection of fluoride exposure generally in the population, as the teeth of children over 8years of age will not develop dental fluorosis regardless of fluoride dietary exposure.
A further study in 2011 published in the Indian Journal of Dental Research[55] concluded that "the association between degree of fluorosis and periodontal status is statistically significant."
4. ConclusionBased on these facts, fluoridation does not appear to have helped prevent tooth loss and clearly it is evident that fluoridation does not benefit those without teeth. What is known is that during the last 80 years a clear association between periodontal disease and fluoride exposure was identified and reported, however considering the significance of the disease it is also apparent that it was not studied in the detail one would expect. The bulk of the research has been on dental caries not periodontal disease.
It is clear however that evidence demonstrating a link between total dietary fluoride exposure and periodontal disease is available if you look for it. It is further evident that based on the current information available and on the understanding of the 'precautionary principle' that a cessation of the policy of mandatory fluoridation of public drinking water supplies should be undertaken immediately to assist in reducing the exposure of the population to fluoride to acceptable safe levels. One cannot control the dietary exposure to fluoride compounds for all sectors of the population by fluoridation of public water supplies. It is certain for large sectors of the population that fluoridation of water supplies only increases the risk of potential harm.

Watch Bastille play "Bad Blood" Live at their First Ever LA Show at The Troubadour
photo credit: YouTube
Without a doubt Bastille are one of my favorite bands right now. They just released a 2-cd deluxe version of their album called, All This Bad Blood, and it's great. There's not a song on it that I don't like. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
Last July, Bastille played an incredible show at The Troubadour - their first ever show in LA. It was a great show and my favorite moment happened when they played their mash-up of "Of The Night/Rhythm of the Night." Lead singer Dan Smith walked to the bar at the back of the venue, jumped on the bar, and continued singing from there. It was a great moment - hopefully they'll released that video... in the meantime, here's the first song they played that night, , and continued singing while on top of the bar.
Hopefully someone has footage of that... but for now, we'll have to settle for "Bad Blood" from the show:

Special Report: Top 30 Ocean Carriers turn up the volume
Now that pricing has been restored and capacity restrained, the leading vessel operators are staging a comeback. What lessons have they learned from the recent recession and dismal earning cycles? Here's what the top analysts are saying.
in the NewsBiomass Business Study Uses Logistics as a Measure of Commercial Success Port of Oakland remains in strong expansion mode Corrugated Packaging Alliance releases new report showing industry's environmental progress Global ports sector faces structurally slower growth, says Fitch Ratings California leads the way in addressing transport infrastructure More News
In the school of hard knocks, the tough will survive. Those who prevail, however, are the ones who hit back harder. That's what shippers should be expecting from the Top 30 ocean carriers this year; and analysts are warning shippers that when it comes to contracting in 2011, the gloves are off.
Shippers saw evidence of this on October 1, when Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC) began increasing freight rates on its services between North America and Europe and the Mediterranean. The Geneva-based carrier, the second largest container shipping line, says that the general rate increases are necessary "to preserve the existing comprehensive range of services" and "to advance freight rates towards a sustainable level."
This blow was delivered just after MSC imposed a peak season surcharge on all shipments from the Far East to the U.S. East and West Coasts. However, MSC was hardly alone in making this move. Maersk Line—the largest carrier of U.S. imports— had warned shippers in mid-summer that it was going to impose a similar surcharge to ensure space in the Asia-U.S. trade lanes.

Price realised USD 6,875
Estimate USD 3,000 - USD 4,000
POE, Edgar Allan. The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. Of Nantucket. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1838.
12o. 2-page publisher's advertisement at beginning and 14-page advertisement at end. (Occasional minor pale spotting.) Original dark brown floral-embossed cloth, paper spine label (slight wear to extremities, covers lightly rubbed, label with hole worn through and slight loss, covers lightly rubbed); quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Anonymous consignor (sold American Art Association, 10 May 1934, lot 460 for $700).
FIRST EDITION OF POE'S FIRST BOOK OF PROSE, AND HIS ONLY NOVEL. Two serialized installments of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym were first published in the Southern Literary Messenger in January and February of 1837. When Poe left the magazine its publication ceased until the complete text of the novel was published by Harper's in July of 1838. Pym gained immediate notoriety, both because of its sensational subject matter and because it appeared to some to be a true account of perilous and fantastic voyage. Although Poe himself later called it "a very silly book," it nevertheless became an influential work, notably for Herman Melville and Jules Verne. Pym is often considered one of most fantastic short novels of the 19th Century. Science fiction author H. G. Wells noted, "Pym tells what a very intelligent mind could imagine about the south polar region a century ago." BAL 16128; Bleiler (1978), p. 159; Heartman & Canny, pp. 38-40; Wright (I) 2052.

Anyone who operates a Nissan knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. You bought your Xterra because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Tail Light to repair your car or truck.
As it pertains to the features on your car or truck that are there for safety, all parts should be functioning at maximum potential. The two most difficult components on your Nissan Xterra to inspect on your own might just be your tail lights. Since you are operating your car or truck from the inside looking forward, it is not possible to evaluate the operating condition of your Nissan Xterra tail lights without someone else to help. As there are other cars all around you, both in front and behind,, the tail lights are just as important to your safety as your headlights. They signal to other drivers your intentions, and if the tail lights on your car or truck are not working properly you could get into an accident or a ticket.
When your Nissan needs a top quality replacement Tail Light, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Get your Xterra back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Tail Light bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality repair parts. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Nissan Xterra Tail Light for your 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 model.

Crandall Head made an immediate impression in fall camp for the Illinois basketball team. He has tremendously quick feet and hands, and he demonstrated a willingness to play tough on-ball defense.
Coach Bruce Weber encouraged him to work on point guard skills since there was no backup for Demetri McCamey. That may have set him back since he was turnover-prone, something you can't have in your point guard. While he saw a little playing time early in the year, it appeared Head would languish on the bench the rest of the season.
But improvement in practice combined with a lengthy slump endured by D.J. Richardson encouraged Weber to give him his first start at Ohio State. Weber didn't tell him until just before the game.
"I was surprised, but I just had to go out and perform and do what I can do," Head remembered.
Did it take awhile to get into the flow of the game?
"Probably not too long. I was a little winded the first couple of minutes, but then I got adjusted."
Head explained why he thought he earned the start.
"It was just me working hard, keeping a good attitude, just being ready to play. I bring a lot of energy to the game, and I play good defense."
Weber was pleased to see Head continue to work hard and not get discouraged after seeing so little playing time throughout the year.
"Crandall's played well in practice. He's kept a great attitude. I'll be honest, I've been very surprised and happy that he's been very positive. He stuck to the script, did what we say. When you're not playing it's hard to deal with, and he's done it."
Head admits it was frustrating sitting on the bench.
"Of course it's been frustrating, but I just try to keep a good attitude and wait for my name to be called."
Head has characteristics Weber wants in his guards.
"He does give us quickness, some athleticism. He can get to the basket. You saw he got into the paint, penetrated. He was in there when we made a little run second half (OSU), and I thought he started well for not playing a lot of minutes. He gave himself a nice shot of confidence, for himself and for us. Now you're not afraid to use him when other guys are not playing well."
Head didn't play competitive basketball his senior hear of high school due to knee surgery, and he was a turnover machine as a junior at Crane Tech. He still had those tendencies upon arriving at Illinois according to Weber.
"In practice he's starting not to turn it over. That was his biggest thing. Every other or every third time he would turn the ball over. You could never get in a rhythm to trust him. Now he's starting to slow down a little bit."
Head admits he must think about his ball handling constantly in order to correct his flaws.
"Yeah, it's all just a matter of getting comfortable. Just taking care of the ball and valuing the ball more."
Head has also been dealing with major flaws in his jump shot. Besides working on getting a higher release point, he has had to overcome a bad habit he learned while recovering from his knee surgery. He began shooting off one leg and kicking the repaired leg out so it wouldn't land on the ground. Now he can't seem to stop it.
"It's gonna take all spring, all summer, all fall for that, and he's got to want to do it," Weber explains. "When he had his leg injury, and now you come back too early, all of a sudden you get bad habits. You want to get back in the gym and start shooting, and you're afraid to land on that leg. It's all subconscious.
"It's gonna take some discipline and some mental toughness to come back and make himself. I've taken him a few times and made boxes with tape on the floor. I say, 'You've got to jump up and come down within the box.'
"I talk about a phone booth, and they don't even know what a phone booth is. You go up in a phone booth, and you come down in a phone booth. You've got to land in the same spot. It's gonna take repetition, not only with us but on his own. Two hours a week with us in the off season is not gonna get it.
"He's starting to come in early. Our coaches have done a good job of grabbing the younger kids and working them out extra before and after practice, and sometimes the older guys jump in there too."
Head admits he has much work yet to do.
"Yeah, exactly. It's sort of a habit that you can't get over too quick. You've just got to work at it. If I do, it should help my shooting."
Weber isn't concerned about Head's point totals the rest of this year. He wants him to be a disruptive force on the defensive end, something the team needs badly.
"He can get after people. He can shoot the gap. But you've got to be in a stance, you've got to be ready to do it and want to go get that steal and get a layup. Those extra points could help us."
Some have reported the experiment of trying to make Head into a point guard failed. But that is not how he sees it.
"They want me to play point guard and some on the wing. Basically just to come in and defend and get a couple points if I can. I actually feel a little better at point guard right now, just from playing it this whole year and getting adjusted."
How much playing time he receives the rest of this season likely depends on his continued growth and the needs of the team. Regardless, the recent playing time has encouraged him to work harder in the off season.
"Just coming out and seeing how game experience is makes me want to work harder and get better."

Perhaps you saw a friend post a message over the weekend that Facebook is planning to charge for "gold," "silver" and "bronze" membership services. This rumor became so widespread, Facebook was forced to address it on their own page last night.
The false rumor: FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO…IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES. IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NO PAY
You know a cut and pasted message has to be true if it's in all caps, right?
The response from Facebook: "A rumor on the internet caught our attention. We have no plans to charge for Facebook. It's free and always will be."
"Free to use," anyway. The hidden cost to users is a lack of privacy, and as Nik Cubrilovic, who describes himself as a serial entrepreneur, writer, and hacker, notes in this blog post, Facebook can track every page you visit, even if you're logged out. The UK government has come out and said they don't trust Facebook with customer data.
As with any free product, same as Google, people are the product. Advertisers are the users.
As for the rumors of Facebook charging for its services, these are nothing new. We've seen them off and on since 2009.
While the timing isn't surprising, considering the backlash to numerous changes rolled out last week, including the big changes to profiles announced at f8 last week, it still shows that there are some gullible people on social networks who don't bother to check facts.
Facebook will take in $3.8 billion in ad revenue globally this year and $4.27 billion total, eMarketer forecasts. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest men in the world, and will get even richer next year, when Facebook is expected to go public.

Bradykinin (Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg) is an important growth factor for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). These cancers have cells of neuroendocrine origin, and express receptors for a variety of neuropeptides. Bradykinin receptors are expressed on almost all lung cancer cell lines. Our very potent bradykinin antagonist B9430 (DArg-Arg-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Igl-Ser-DIgl-Oic-Arg) [trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, α-2-indanylglycine, octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid] is a candidate anti-inflammatory drug, but does not inhibit growth of SCLC. When B9430 is dimerized by N-terminal crosslinking with a suberimide linker, the product, B9870, is a potent growth inhibitor for SCLC, both in vitro and in vivo in athymic nude mice. Daily intraperitoneal injection at 5 mg/kg/d beginning on day 8 after SCLC SHP-77 cell implantation gave 65% inhibition of tumor growth. B9870 stimulates apoptosis in SCLC by a novel "biased agonist" action. We have also developed new small mimetic antagonists. BKM-570 (F5C-OC2Y-Atmp) [pentafluorocinnamic acid, O-2,6-dichlorobenzyl tyrosine, 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine] is very potent for inhibition of SHP-77 growth in nude mice. With intraperitoneal injection at 5 mg/kg/d, M570 gave 90% suppression of tumor growth. M570 is more potent than the well-known anticancer drug cisplatin (60% inhibition) or the recently developed SU5416 (40% inhibition) in this model. M570 also showed activity against various other cancer cell lines in vitro (SCLC, non-small cell lung cancer, lung, prostate, colon, cervix) and inhibited growth of prostate cell line PC3 in nude mice. These bradykinin antagonists in vivo also inhibit angiogenesis and matrix metalloprotease action. These compounds have clinical potential for treatment of human lung cancers.

At this moment, they are struggling to think anything out of the box to convince the electorate, especially in this Narendra Modi era which has just set in.
Both Thackerays failed to impress politically
Take for example, the Thackeray cousins in Maharashtra. Both the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) have failed to meet their respective challenges in this election.
While the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray lost the prestige battle with the BJP despite increasing its tally, the MNS led by the mercurial Raj Thackeray did worse than the Hyderabad-based MIM, which made its debut in Maharashtra this year.
What was Thackerays' problem?
What was the problem with these leaders? Why did they find it a tough test in their own state where they often raise aggressive sub-national sentiments to win popular support?
Both failed to chalk out a clear stand on 'man of the moment' Narendra Modi
Even they are estranged, the two Thackerays made a common mistake in 2014, a year which can be completely dedicated to Narendra Modi. Both failed to come up with the right strategy vis-à-vis Modi and faced the consequences like the Congress and some other powerful regional parties in North India.
Shiv Sena wanted to reverse the LS poll model but misread Modi's universal appeal
Take the case of Shiv Sena. The party's take on the BJP was: Okay, you ate the cream in the Lok Sabha election but it will be my turn in the assembly poll.
Never mess with anybody when his time is on
Accordingly, the Sena leadership tried to corner the BJP in all possible ways for it was certain that its readymade base in urban Maharashtra would see it having the last laugh and the BJP would be forced to bow before it on October 19 when the results came out. But Uddhav Thackeray perhaps forgot the simple rule of war and that is: Never mess with your enemy when his time is on.
Uddhav Thackeray had no reason to target Modi
Thackeray had no reason to attack Narendra Modi and the BJP when he could have gained a lot by staying in the alliance with the latter.
The common political ideology of the two parties was enough for Uddhav Thackeray to reap the benefits. But he was perhaps influenced by the pre-Lok Sabha poll development when the Shiv Sena undertook a pressure tactic to warn the BJP about fielding its own candidates in Uttar Pradesh if it was thinking of making an agreement with the MNS.
But Uddhav Thackeray didn't take into consideration the fact that Narendra Modi is the tallest leader of Indian politics at the moment and has somehow managed to unite the mood of the nation all across.
Raj Thackeray did too many flip-flops
The other Thackeray too made a similar blunder. He is often heard saying that it was he who had wanted Modi as the PM before anyone. If he is indeed proud about his farsightedness, then why didn't he stick to a stand of backing Modi throughout?
Raj Thackeray did too many flip-flops on Modi in the run-up of the Lok Sabha polls and after, thinking perhaps everything would work in his favour gradually, but ended up losing his credibility in his own state.
Thackerays didn't learn from Rahul Gandhis, Nitish Kumars or Mulayam Singh Yadavs
Both these cousins showed that they are yet to cover a big distance before they understand the situation rightly. Only thinking on lines of self-importance isn't effective in politics always. The same has happened with the Rahul Gandhis, Nitish Kumars and Mulayam Singh Yadavs. Now, the two Thackerays have also joined the list.
Sharad Pawar, on the other hand, just did it right
But take the case of veteran Maharashtrian leader Sharad Pawar. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, despite belonging to the opposition alliance, has been seen making pro-Modi overtures time and again. His party has even expressed an willingness to support the BJP to form a stable government in Maharashtra this time after no party managed to win a clear majority. Pawar's opportunism is known to all, but what the 'morally right' Thackerays can learn from Pawar is the way he safeguards the party's future for the younger lot.
The NCP is in an advantageous position after the Shiv Sena's strategy boomeranged and whether the BJP goes with the NCP or the Sena, Uddhav Thackeray's position will remain weakened. Pawar, on the other hand, has little to lose even if his party dumps the hapless Congress.
Bal Thackeray wouldn't have misread the pitch like his successors
The late Bal Thackeray wouldn't have made such a strategic blunder by targeting Modi before the election for sure. His successors have a lot to learn yet.

Appalachian Trail: Vernon Valley is a 10.2 mile point-to-point trail located near Vernon, New Jersey and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is best used from April until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
Great for all ages. Easy on the board walk and gets a bit more difficult. Scenery is a plus.
Great hike!! Loved the overlook and was just the right amount of difficulty. The only thing I wanted to mention is that when selecting the 'driving directions' feature through the app it brings you to the wrong location. You can use it until it brings you route 94 but know that the trail head is actually right BEFORE Prices Change Road on the right hand side of route 94. You will see a parking lot leading up to the trail. :)

Echo Boomers Will Save the U.S. Economy
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Young Americans
Stashed in: Brands!, Economics!, Awesome, The Future, America!, Echo Chambers!, Charts!, Retail, Demographics, Cognitive Bias, Millennials
Rob Wile writes:
The Great Recession may have delayed the plans of many recent college graduates.
But the "Echo Boom" generation — the sons and daughters of Baby Boomers — are too numerous to be kept down.
There are 80 million of them, and they're out to save the American economy.
All of the normal things that drive the economy — household formation, entering the workforce, etc. — will be driven by this slice of the population.
Thanks to the Echo Boom...
- Stocks will go up.
- More households will be formed, leading to a recovery in real estate.
- The national income will surge.
- Lots more spending will happen.
By 2030, the Echo Boom will be the largest consumer group in the United States:
That is the right attitude! Now, what is the strategy of the "Echo Boomers"? And you are right (below), the X generation may vote us further into the government's control.
The strategy of Echo Boomers should be to pay off debt and save more.
Then again, that strategy should work for everyone, not just the Echoes.
Yes. Generation X is a valley in between the Baby Boomers and the Echo Boomers.
The good news is that television has taught them to be good consumers.
The bad news is that they have numbers on us when they decide to become a voting bloc.

When Automakers Made Musicals
The new book Everything's Coming Up Profits digs into the golden age of post-WWII "industrial musicals" created by big American corporations. Co-author and Late Show With David Letterman writer Steve Young shares some of the near-Broadway quality songs composed by (and for) the auto industry in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
Young defines the genre as "musicals that bear a startling resemblance to popular entertainments that would be on a Broadway stage, but they were never for the public to hear." They were staged (or sometimes screened) at sales meetings and conventions for company insiders, including sales people and distributors. And decades later, they are still incredibly catchy.
Along with his co-author, the musician Sport Murphy, Young has collected an "appetizer menu" of songs for his Industrial Musicals Website -- and compiled a three-volume set available on iTunes.
This segment originally aired on Feb. 3, 2014.

The Astell & Kern AK Jr is the high-end audio company's slimmest, most affordable portable music player, capable of handling Hi-Res Audio. Well, I say 'affordable', but that's only when you compare it to the rest of the A&K range, with the most expensive model costing upwards of £2,000.
Priced at a penny under £400, it's significantly cheaper than Sony's NWZ-ZX2 (£950) but it's still more expensive than Neil Young's Toblerone-looking Pono player (£240).
If you're sold on the benefits of Hi-Res Audio, though, there more to like about the Jr than just its sleek exterior.
Related: What is Hi-Res Audio?
Hands down, the Jr is the best-looking Hi-Res Audio player we've used. There's none of the Pono player's excessive rubber in sight, and it's significantly slimmer than Sony's ZX2. This is a beautifully crafted piece of hardware and gives the iPod Touch a run for its money.
With a stature roughly about the same size as an iPhone 5S, the Jr is made predominantly from a cool anodised aluminium. It's all straight lines with no curves and has a machined industrial look that'll make you want to show it off. Measuring in a just 5.9mm thick and weighing in at 93g, it's slim and only slightly heavier than the sixth-generation iPod Touch. With such an angular design, however, it does have some handling issues. The corners can feel a little sharp to hold, pinching into the palm of your hand, so browsing through music folders for long periods can be an uncomfortable task.
Around the back the Jr's good looks continue, with a thin layer of glass covering the subtle patterned finish. The stand-out feature here, though, is the rotary volume dial. Tucked away on the right-hand side of the body, it has a satisfying click when you crank the volume up or down.
Elsewhere, buttons and ports are spread around the edges of the device, making them easy to reach with one hand. On the left edge are the metal play/pause and volume buttons. Up top is the standby button, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack which offers 1.9V VRMS power output – up from the 1.5VRMS on the Astell & Kern AK100. That should mean less distortion when using high-end headphones, which are often harder to drive. The Micro USB charging port sits below, flanked by two screws.
There's a 1,450mAh battery nestled beneath that alumnium body, which doesn't sound too impressive, but which Astell & Kern claims should deliver around nine hours of play time. That's pretty much what we found from using it on a daily basis, so it's not quite the killer battery performance you can get from an iPod. It will get you comfortably through a day or maybe two at a stretch, and the AK Jr turns itself off when it's inactive to help preserve the power. Clearly the ability to go longer has come at the expense of the slim design.
Just above the rotary dial you'll also spot a microSD card slot, letting you boost the 64GB internal memory up to a potential 128GB in total. Some cheaper Hi-Res Audio players such as Sony's A15 offer more onboard storage, but that's still plenty of room to store music and accommodate the larger files sizes associated with Hi-Res Audio.
Like other A&K portables, there's a touchscreen to break up the aluminium body and it's a sizeable one on the Jr, occupying almost three quarters of the front of the player. It's a 3.1-inch LCD touchscreen with a surprisingly slim black bezel, but a meagre 240 x 400 resolution. Put it next to most smartphone screens in that price range and it pales in comparison for sharpness and vibrancy. But when your only concern here really is reading track information and seeing album covers, it's more than acceptable.
What's more of an issue is the screen's responsiveness. It can require an additional tap every now and then to open folders or to select items. While it doesn't make the experience of using it unbearable, it's a little irritating, and you'd rightly hope for better at this price.
So what about the all-important audio tech? Hi-Res Audio is the big selling point here. The good news is that the Jr supports multiple formats, including FLAC, WAV and AAC. It also supports the DSD audio format created by Philips and Sony.
To play those files you need a high-spec digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) – the Jr uses a single Wolfson WM8740 DAC. As an added bonus, the AK Jr's DAC can be used by your desktop PC or Mac, so you can improve the headphone experience when using your computer. There's not a great deal of configuration needed to use it either – once you plug the AK Jr into a USB port, there's the option to use the DAC mode and, as long it's selected as the audio output in your computer's sound settings, you're good to go.
The AK Jr's software is built on Android – although you wouldn't know it, because it's such a basic take on Google's operating system and you can't download Android apps. There's no Wi-Fi connectivity on board either, which is a feature you can get on more expensive models in the range.
You do have Bluetooth 4.0 support to connect a pair of wireless headphones or a portable speaker. The lack of Wi-Fi and a more fully fledged version of Android is disappointing, though, as it would have been great to tap into an audio streaming service like Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer Elite to broaden the music catalogue.
The user interface, as I've said, is pretty simple. Up top is the Now Playing section, letting you jump right into the last track played. Alongside that is a hexagonal icon in the top right, which launches settings – from here you can adjust the display's brightness, turn off the backlight and activate Bluetooth to pair with wireless headphones. You can also set up the headphones socket as a line out and perform an Auto Library scan.
The main home screen is broken up into six sections where you can view Songs, Artists, Albums, Genres, Playlists and Folders. Once you're into those sub-sections, you can press the small dot beside a track to add to a queue of tracks, create a new playlist or delete it altogether. Creating playlists is a little fiddly and requires a few clicks to add single tracks, but it does the job.
Once you get playing tracks, cover art is the focal point, with playback buttons situated at the bottom. It's all standard fare here with just a couple of extras. If the tracks support it, you can view lyrics, while a press on the three-dotted options icon brings file information, including the sample and bit rates. There's also a pretty basic equaliser here, but that can largely be left untouched.
Overall, the interface is probably the weakest aspect of the AK Jr, as it's not super-slick and it's slightly sluggish in places. It's good enough, but we hoped for more.
The Jr sounds fantastic, but that's the very least we'd expect from a £400 portable music player. Plugging in a range of headphones, from the expensive Audeze EL-8 to the Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 and the more affordable Skullcandy Grind, it shines across all music genres. The most satisfying results are with acoustic and live performances, where the extra detail, the wide soundstage and sumptuous low-end warmth really shines through.
If you can afford to spend big, listening to tracks in that maximum 24-bit/192kHz resolution is a joy. The problem is trying to find enough of it. It's also expensive, with albums costing around the £15-20 mark, and file sizes can be as large as 100MB per track. Scrawling through a host of stores such as 7Digital, Qobuz, Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound and Bleep, there's not a great deal out there that's offered in a Hi-Res Audio format. Classical music fans are well catered for, but if you're looking for something more current, there's not a great deal to choose from.
I managed to find Marvin Gaye's iconic album Let's Get It On in the 24-bit/192kHz format on Qobuz for a reasonable £8.73. Literally from the first strum on the guitar on the opening track, there was a noticeable difference listening to the same album on a streaming service like Spotify.
I also tried out electronic artist Caribou and his Our Love album, which I purchased in the 24-bit/96kHz WAV format. It certainly sounded great, but not necessarily that different from listening to it through a streaming service. It just didn't blow me away like the Marvin Gaye album did. It was the same story with Lianne La Havas and her Blood album, which was available on 7 Digital at a maximum 24-bit/44.1khz format. The modern albums didn't quite have that same wow factor.
Audiophiles will lap up the improvement in sound quality you get with the Jr. It's just a shame there's not a wealth of music to really make the most of the great hardware.
The AK Jr is a great place to get your Hi-Res Audio fix on the move. Despite my issue with the pointiness of the design, it's still a beautifully crafted piece of audio kit that's easy to use and sounds fantastic. While I'd have preferred some more functionality on the software front, and maybe the addition of Wi-Fi, these are some gripes I can live with.
There's no ignoring the price, though – £400 isn't cheap. If you shop around, you'll notice that Hi-Res Audio players are no longer a rich man's game. Sony's A15 is around £150-200 and the Fiio X-1 costs just £100.
But if you want a great combination of looks and audio, the AK Jr won't let you down.

I'd love to get into high resolution audio, as sound quality is a huge deal to me with my music. It's just quite expensive.
My question is, can't high-end smartphones do the exact same thing as this player except smoother and with more features added on? Or are they missing that DAC?
If smartphones don't have a DAC, why? I'm assuming it's because they're ridiculously expensive, right?
Audiophiles: there's one born every minute.
Smartphones have DACs & amps too, but even the best flagship ones only use really cheap ones. Like $10-$40 at best. It's that the ones they do have are so cheap & weak when compared to even $100-$300 ones like the Cozoy Astrapi and (my) Oppo HA-2, which are both superior to any popular flagship smartphone. (That new LG G5 though will have the option to pop in an upgraded amp/DAC module, so it may sound about equal to the Astrapi at least depending on its price. I expect that module, which you must buy separately, will be priced at around $100 or so, like the Astrapi.)
With regards to players like these, the premium amp just gives you more volume, which is great when listening to Hi-Res music which tends to be mastered at a lower volume (not super loud like mp3s are, which is why they usually suck). The premium DAC will take all those 1s & 0s and process them at a much higher quality level......... so you get a more full sound, instruments get separated out more instead of sounding jumbled together, any audible "hiss" will be reduced, soundstage will be more spacious, etc.
It only can get expensive when you're buying Hi-Res music, which isn't cheap. But if you just buy it here and there and not all at once, it's not so bad. If you're looking for great headphones to use with this, I recommend my $170 AKG K553. It's beaten out a bunch of more expensive headphones I've tried out, has a premium look to it, and it's very comfortable too. If you want bluetooth, then get the $278 AKG K845BT, which is almost identical to my K553, and has an option to let you use a cable too, for slightly more volume/better audio quality.
Thanks for the in-depth answer.
You're welcome.
These are the sites where I get my Hi-Res stuff from. Pono & 7Digital, for certain albums, let you download singles instead of the whole album if you want. Acoustic Sounds and HDTracks (more Sounds) also have DSD albums, which are like one notch better than Hi-Res.
Pono: https://www.ponomusic.com/
Acoustic Sounds: http://store.acousticsounds... (note the promo codes on home page center & left side)
7Digital: https://us.7digital.com/
HDTracks: http://www.hdtracks.com/
Price compare for the best deals. Pono is usually the cheapest but not always. Some albums may only be found on one site but not the others.
Though the sound of these is great, I had wet hands and now it is very broken so after a short time it's now a big watse of money do not take this out if it looks like rain it will brake and A+K will not fix one 🌟 star

nature trips
cross country skiing
Little Mountain Park is located on the outskirts of the city, north of the James Richardson International Airport. It is perched on a limestone ridge which has extensive rock fossilization thus the use of a trilobite fossil as the icon for the sign. Set aside as a park in 1965, Little Mountain is significant both as a natural area and for its historical background. It contains a large section of aspen forest and has dozens of hiking and cross country skii trails crisscrossing the main trail. During the summer, the open meadows are covered with colorful wildflowers and owls, foxes, ground squirrels, and an occasional deer are but a sample of the wildlife which can be seen. If you like to mix nature study and history with pure fun, there are large playing fields for any sports activity.
Great park! Some off leash areas for dogs buy everyone walks the whole park off leash, dogs love to swim in the pond. Very easy to get there!
Excellent place to take the dog for a walk within Winnipeg. Enjoy the scenery as your dog roams through the woods.
