"Kansas Back Roads and Byways" Top 5 Page for this destination Kansas by Stephen-KarenConn
Kansas Travel Guide: 2,298 reviews and 5,313 photos
Kansas takes its name from the Kansa Indians, whose name means "People of the South Wind." The region has been inhabited by diverse Native American tribes for thousands of years.
In 1541 Spanish explorer Francisco Vasques de Coronado became the first known European to set foot on the land. Coronado did not find the gold he was seeking, but he did find rich land. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark briefly stepped foot in Kansas in 1804, and fifty years later the territory was opened to white settlement by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
Located in the heart of the nation, Kansas has a great variation of climate, terrain flora and fauna. Most of the state lies in the region generally called the Great Plains and it is one of the leading agricultural states in the country.
People who talk of Kansas as being flat, featureless and boring obviously haven't explored the state very well. I've driven the entire 411-mile length of Kansas at least ten times, each by a different route, and I've also crossed the state by train. With every visit I discover new things to love about Kansas. And I'm looking forward to my next trip because there are many more beckoning corners of the state that I have yet to see.
- In a nutshell:Wide Open Spaces!

Hey, there ARE things to do in Kansas, and some of them are not off the beaten path! I'm sure Kansas isn't so bad... I could have listed my stops at Ft Riley, Bob Dole's hometown, and Kansas City, Kansas! Joe
Oh, Stephen, this is marvelous...a wealth of info, folklore, & personal good times. Frank Stoeaber's twine Ball must be fascinating. The Beecher Bible & Rifle Chur ch, origin of Home on the Range, and the family tradition of the Seersucker were fabulous.

A complete short novel, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS is a tale of terror unilke any other. The Barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless--or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures...and the carved stones tens of millions of years old...and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of the City of the Old Ones. Three additional strange tales, written as only H.P. Lovecraft can write, are also included in this macabre collection of the strange and the weird.
About the Author
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, August 1890 - March 1937, was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works ofhorror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born inProvidence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life.
Praise For…
"One of the greatest short novels in American literature, and a key text in my own understanding of what that literature can do."
"Lovecraft's fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror."

"If the security of the Internet cannot be guaranteed, then ... results may be as serious as a nuclear bomb," said Gen. Fang Fenghui, chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army, in a joint press conference with his U.S. counterpart, Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to a statement released by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Dempsey is in China to conduct negotiations on a number of fronts, including cybersecurity, North Korea, terrorism and disaster relief -- in the wake of an earthquake Sunday in Sichuan Province that left an estimated 188 people dead and 11,500 injured, and for which the Chinese military has been leading the disaster response.
[ Is China behind hacks? Read China Denies U.S. Hacking Accusations: 6 Facts. ]
On the cybersecurity front, Fang during the press briefing denied reports that a Chinese military unit has been responsible for launching cyberespionage operations and advanced persistent threat attacks against Western competitors.
"None of these activities is tolerated here in China," he said, emphasizing that like the United States, China is itself a victim of online attacks, reported The Wall Street Journal. Furthermore, he noted the difficulty of accurately tracing back attacks to their true origin.
In an apparent first, however, the Chinese military official agreed to discuss the issue of cybersecurity in further high-level government talks. "Gen. Dempsey and I have already talked about the importance of maintaining cybersecurity," Fang said. "I believe it is important that we check out the idea that we should jointly work on this issue," he said.
Fang's remarks came the same day that Verizon released its annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). That report -- based on information provided by Verizon and the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team, as well as other national CERTs, the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement agencies in Europe -- counted 621 confirmed data breaches, 47,000 reported security incidents and 44 million compromised records in 2012.
"State-affiliated actors tied to China are the biggest mover in 2012," said the report. "Their efforts to steal IP [intellectual property] comprise about one-fifth of all breaches in this [2012] data set." The report noted that "a whopping 96% of espionage cases were attributed to threat actors in China."
"State espionage and IP theft is more prevalent than ever," said Jay Jacobs, a senior analyst for the RISK Team at Verizon, speaking by phone.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Handmade New Jersey Wedding
DIY Weddings
While this New Jersey wedding is sweet enough, it's made even sweeter by the fact that the bride handmade so very many of the lovely details you see here. Love Me Do Photography captured the day, including the flowers provided and arranged by Love n Fresh Flowers and the bride. Get ready for some yellow + blue goodness:
From the bride, Christine: In the very initial stages of planning our wedding, we decided to focus on what the day would feel like and not necessarily what it would look like. It was important to make it really feel like "us" which we achieved through all of the handmade elements and curated vintage pieces. Things I made included the cross-stitch table numbers, the fabric garlands that hung above the reception, the ribbon boutonnieres for groomsmen, the cement candle holders, the pinback buttons as part of the seating display, and the pom pom garland that framed us at the ceremony.
Our family and friends all contributed to the wedding which we feel so grateful to have received. My Mom and Aunts helped make hundreds upon hundreds of pom poms. One of my bridesmaids is a graphic designer who designed our invitation suite and the imagery that later appeared on our pinback buttons and packaging for our honey jar favors. When it made sense to hire out for projects, we first looked to the handmade community and DIY businesses. After the wedding, one of the best compliments we continuously received was that when folks arrived at the wedding they instantly knew it was ours.
From the groom, DJ: Music has always been a huge part of our lives. We both have backgrounds in college radio and journalism and we met while working for the same music marketing firm in Boston, so it was really important to us that we nailed the playlist. One selfish highlight was getting to play Madness, the Ramones, the Bouncing Souls, and Rancid in succession during the reception. Getting an entire dancefloor of friends and family shaking and smiling might go down as one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.

Road to Glory
|Beaten your first Rival
Just beat your first rival, Its Vaughn Gittin Jr. its In the Drift option on the 3rd tab. All the way at the bottom an event called the final Slide will ask you to get 20 drift podium finishes before unlocking. There are 4 tracks you will have to do. The last one is annoying. You need to use a fast car like an exotic with works conversion becuase you need speed! On the last turn just drift as long as possible even if it means hitting a walls. that turn will give you alot of points. Try to get 1st on the first 3 tracks and you can afford 3rd place on the last one.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• Ryan Howard couldn't have done much more in the Phillies' final game of the month: He homered, singled, was hit by a pitch and walked twice. That left him with 49 home runs for the season, breaking Mike Schmidt's team record.
Howard became only the sixth different player in major league history to take a total of at least 49 home runs into September. Roger Maris took 51 into September in 1961; Mark McGwire, 55 in 1998 and 51 in 1999; Sammy Sosa, 55 in 1998 and 1999, and 52 in 2001; Barry Bonds, 57 in 2001; and Luis Gonzalez, 51 in 2001.
Even more impressive is that Howard drove in 41 runs during August, appropriately the most by any major leaguer in any month since another ferocious-hitting Howard who did his share of damage at Washington's RFK Stadium -- big Frank Howard, that is -- drove in 41 runs for the Dodgers in July 1962.
• The Phillies took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the ninth at Washington but wound up losing 6-5 in 10 innings. Philadelphia had been the only National League team that had not lost a game this season in which it had taken a lead into the ninth inning.
So when was the last major-league game in which a team lost after taking a lead of at least two runs into the last of the ninth and taking another lead in the tenth? More than two years ago: On July 2, 2004, the Rockies scored three in the bottom of the ninth to tie the Tigers; then, after Detroit scored one in the top of the 10th, Colorado scored twice to win, 9-8.
• Though the Royals had beaten the Twins in the first two games of their three-game series in Minneapolis, consider what Kansas City would have had to overcome to win on Thursday:
* The Twins hadn't lost a home game in which Johan Santana was the starting pitcher in more than a year.
* The Royals had not completed a sweep of a road series -- of any length -- since July 2003.
Form held true as Santana led Minnesota to a 3-1 win. It was the Twins' 21st straight win in a home game that Santana had started -- the longest such streak by any major league team in home games started by a particular pitcher in modern major league history.
And the Royals extended to 85 their streak of road series without a sweep, surpassing what had been the second-longest such span in major-league history, an 84-road-series streak in which the Rockies had gone sweepless from 2001 to 2004. The only longer streak lasted 88 road series, and was fashioned by the Montreal Expos from 1995 to 1998.
The Royals' last road sweep came just before the 2003 All-Star Break, when they took three games from the Rangers in Texas.
• Randy Johnson earned his 15th victory of the season as the Yankees defeated the Tigers 6-4. It was Johnson's third straight season of 15 or more wins since he turned 40 in September 2003.
And in doing so, Johnson became only the third pitcher in major league history to be credited with 15 or more wins in each of three consecutive seasons after the age of 40. Cy Young did it from 1907 to 1909, and Warren Spahn followed suit from 1961 to 1963. (Special mention goes to Phil Niekro, who had five seasons of 15 or more wins after the age of 40, but never had three in a row.)
• The Red Sox ended August with a 6-4 win over the Blue Jays, but that win could hardly wipe out memories of a disastrous 9-21 month. Boston finished with a 5.81 ERA for its 30 games during the month -- the highest in the majors during August and Boston's highest ERA in any calendar month in more than 12 years, since its staff had a 5.88 ERA in June 1994 as the team went 8-19.
• Andy Pettitte earned the victory in the Astros' 5-3 triumph over the Brewers, evening his won-lost record at 13-13. It's the first time that Pettitte has been at .500 since early April, when he was 1-1. Since then, Pettitte had lost seven consecutive decisions in games in which he had a chance to pull his record back to the .500 mark.
• Delmon Young of the Devil Rays played his third major-league game on Thursday, and had his third multiple-hit game. Three other players who broke into the majors since the year 2000 did so with (at least) three straight multiple-hit games: Boston's Morgan Burkhart (four straight multi-hit games) in 2000, Bo Hart of the Cardinals in 2003 and Toronto's Aaron Hill in 2005.
But when you look back through the list of recent players who started their careers in such a manner, there are far more players such as Burkhart and Hart than there are future All-Stars. In fact, of the 14 players over the past 30 years who started their big-league careers with at least three straight multi-hit games, only one has gone on to start an All-Star Game: Ken Caminiti, who broke in with three straight multi-hit games in 1987 and started an All-Star Game 10 years later.
• The Orioles-Rangers game produced yet another home run by Mark Teixeira against Bruce Chen, who if he is not owned by Teixeira, is at least leased, and on very favorable terms. In 12 career plate appearances against the well-traveled left-hander, Teixeira is now 7-for-11 with six home runs, a double and a walk; if you're scoring at home, that comes to a slugging percentage of 2.364.
This season, he's 4-for-6 vs. Chen, with home runs in each of his last four plate appearances. Among active major-leaguers, that's the longest current streak of home runs in consecutive at-bats for any batter against one pitcher.
Teixeira's total of 11 at-bats vs. Chen is the lowest by any active major leaguer who has hit at least six home runs against a particular pitcher. The next-lowest: Ryan Klesko has six homers in 16 at-bats vs. Paul Wilson; Gary Sheffield has connected six times in 23 at-bats vs. Jamey Wright; and Mike Piazza has gone deep six times in 26 at-bats vs. Pedro Martinez.
• Aided by the decision by Bill Parcells to force overtime by going for a one-point conversion, rather than a two-pointer, late in the fourth quarter, and also by Mike Vanderjagt's two misses on short field-goal attempts during the overtime period, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo racked up 349 passing yards in the Cowboys' 10-10 preseason tie against the Vikings. It was the first 300-yard passing game by an NFL quarterback in the preseason since Daunte Culpepper passed for 311 yards vs. Arizona in the 2000 preseason.
• Giants running back Brandon Jacobs served notice with 130 yards on 15 carries as the Giants concluded an undefeated preseason with a 31-23 win over the Patriots. That was the highest individual rushing-yards total in an NFL preseason game since last Aug. 27, when Larry Johnson of the Chiefs had 147 yards vs. Seattle and Denver's Mike Anderson ran for 159 yards against the Colts.

Nice jacket

Nice accessory to my bluetooth speaker. Ideal for traveling. Protect your speaker and look awesome when traveling. Fits perfectly. Nice high-quality product.
Nice accessory, could use a handle
By idiosid
from Undisclosed
The case fits the speakers like a well-made glove. I like how it folds up for storage, and the construction seems sturdy enough to protect the speakers for transport. Wish it had a handle, though.

Released Monday by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, the International Religious Freedom Report for 2013 stated that last year "the world witnessed the largest displacement of religious communities in recent memory."
"In almost every corner of the globe, millions of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and others representing a range of faiths were forced from their homes on account of their religious beliefs," read the report. more >>
Americans feel warm toward Jews, Catholics and Evangelicals but they are colder toward Muslims and atheists, according to a new Pew Research Survey.
Respondents were asked to rate each faith group according to a "feeling thermometer" ranging from 0 to 100, 0 reflecting the coldest and most negative rating and 100 being the warmest, most positive. The outcome concluded that U.S. adults are more fond of individuals who share their same or similar faith.
"In a society like the United States, where religion is such an important part of life, of how people view the world, how people approach politics — it's one of the things that drives some of the very serious cultural disagreements we see in American society. It's important to know how religious groups see one another, relate to one another," said Greg Smith, associate director of research at the Pew Research Center, reports Washington Post. more >>
A project named "The House of One," looking to create the world's first ever church, mosque and synagogue in Berlin, Germany, where people of different faiths can worship under one roof, is currently raising donations.

And together we want to use the room in the middle for dialogue and discussion and also for people without faith," explained Pastor Gregor Hohberg, a Protestant parish priest, according to a BBC News report.

Comments about 'Judge questions whether sex abuse was 'invited,' orders probation for jailer'

What a creepy judge.

The judge isn't wrong.
Without other evidence it ultimately is word against word, credibility against credibility. And ultimately the burden of proof can only fairly be placed on the accuser, not accused.
"Deputy" doesn't warrant an exemption of scrutiny, but "criminal" does weaken the credibility of the accuser. With that said, it may very well be true. Personally, I don't doubt it or believe it either way. But I wouldn't hate the judge for not locking a man up and potentially splitting up his family... all on someone's word. And if he had... people might have asked why he took "the word of a criminal", etc.
With that said, protocol is an issue that can weigh in on this.
1 - Why aren't multiple parties present for a physical check?
2 - Why not in an area under at least partial surveillance?
Ultimately, where this man requested a training and didn't get it, requested a transfer and didn't get it, this doesn't hurt his case at all. If anything it could hurt the prison's credibility, but that's it.
Perhaps the truth hasn't surfaced, but that isn't the judge's fault.

"Killpack . . . reminded the judge that Epperson didn't ever admit to
anything other than sexual assault."
That's a pretty egregious typo. The article makes it clear that Epperson only admitted to "simple assault."

This article would be much more useful if the reader were told what crimes
Killpack committed that got her thrown in jail. Is she a thief? Did her crimes
reflect dishonesty? Did her presentencing report indicate borderline personality
disorder and a propensity to hurt others? Do her crimes indicate that she's
a compulsive liar, unwilling to acknowledge her complicity in the problems in
her life? If so, then her credibility should indeed be questioned.
Was she in jail for prostitution, indecent exposure, or similar sex-related crimes? If so, the degree of offense she suffered is open to question.
On the other hand, if Killpack was in jail for unpaid traffic tickets (unlikely), then she is entitled to greater credibility. If she was in jail for selling heroin, then other implications might be drawn.
She wasn't in jail for being a trustworthy, honest, upstanding citizen, no matter what the Rape Crisis Center may say. Unfortunately, this article deprives the reader of sufficient information to form an opinion of Killpack's reliability.

"'As I said previously, this case is just fraught with 'she said,
he said.' It's fraught with the possibility of conduct that was lured,
encouraged and invited,' Sam said."
All of which may be true AND no excuse for illegal conduct by the officer, if it occurred.
I agree with the comment above that because of all the problems cited above, the **real** issue at hand is a protocol that would allow such a 'she said, he said.' condition to ever exist in this environment. It might be expensive but a system of constantly recorded surveillance camera coverage would remove the problem of contrary 2-party testimony.
My guess is it would also do something of even greater importance by **preventing** any improper behavior in the first place.

The key word here is CONSENT. If you are an inmate under the authority of a jailer you do not have legal CONSENT, regardless of the circumstances. The judge is wrong and prison reform is desperately needed. Also, the US is obsessed with incarcerating people for minor offenses anyway, which just makes this kind of problem even worse.

cc423, how do you explain the same judge's opinion in the Womack case, as
quoted in this story? If the judge was lenient on Epperson because he's lax
on sexual assault, rather than because the evidence wasn't strong, then why
did he come down much harder on Womack?
I admit that I myself was pretty skeptical about this judge's impartiality and was prepared to write a comment about injustice until I got to the part about the Womack case.

No it isn't. Your comment shows everything that is wrong with some men (and some women) who still cleave to a 1950's mistake ideology about sexual assault and abuse in general. Even a criminal in jail or a prostitute is entitle to NOT be raped nor abused nor groped and the punishment should be the same for all offenders, or maybe even harsher for offenders in positions of trust.
It's about us and the way we as law abiding citizens behave not what someone's past crimes or job is or was.

A couple of comments.
If the dude touched her inappropriately then he obviously should not have done that and should receive punishment accordingly.
That being said just because a woman claims it happens doesn't mean it did and starting with the premise that they guy is guilty just because a woman said something happened is wrong.
There are plenty of incidences where everyone believed one thing and when the evidence and facts came forward it was an entirely different story.
Each case should be decided on its own and not with instantly believing anyone male/female by default. I get tired of the argument "well this is women don't come forward.....". Each case should stand on its own.

From what I understand a jailer/prison employee comes up against all kinds of provocation but is trained to know that they must remain steadfast - no matter what the provocation is. They are trained in all sorts of ways to avoid reacting to the provocations, whether it is being spit on, swore at, or other tactics are used on them. All kinds of agreements are signed by the employee and they know what is appropriate and what is not. The point is, he dishonored the commitments he has made. If an employee transgresses that commitment, they are generally fired or reprimanded in some way. In this case put on probation.

So, this comment was denied initially, but I can't see how it's any
more or less offensive than other posted comments. It might be because I
included the words "breast" and "genitalia," but those are the
terms used in the article.
More and more, I see how much the powers that be are a good ole' boy system. In health-care, law, and politics, there seems to be no justice for the "little guy." This judge should realize that, invited or not, the guard's position meant that he could not, under any circumstances instantiate sexual contact with prisoners. What's worse is that there are lawyers like this out there who feel it is fine to help others lie their way out of any sort of accountability for their actions. Not sufficient training? No one ever taught him that he shouldn't touch the bare breasts or genitalia of a detained prisoner in his care, with or without his permission? As a judge, I'd be offended that someone would think I'd be so stupid as to buy that excuse.

Fuchs, Koc Venture to Invest in Lubricants Plant in Turkey
A venture between Germany's Fuchs Petrolub AB and the fuel retail unit of Turkey's Koc Holding AS will invest $25 million in a lubricants plant in western Turkey as it targets increased sales.
The first phase of the plant, to be built in the Aliaga industrial region, will have a capacity of 50,000 metric tons a year when output starts at the end of 2013, Murat Seyhan, chief executive of Opet Fuchs AS, said at a news conference in Istanbul. Capacity will rise to 75,000 tons, he said.
Opet Fuchs targets 2012 sales of 90 million euros ($114 million) from 80 million euros in 2011, the companies said in a statement. Opet Fuchs will have a market share of 12 percent, or 41,000 tons, in 2012, Seyhan said.
Turkey's lubricants market is expected at 350,000 tons this year, and the plant will boost the country's capacity by 5 percent, according to the statement released at the conference.
Opet Petrolculuk AS, the fuel retailing unit owned equally by Koc Holding and the Ozturk family, had sales of 14.8 billion liras ($8 billion) in 2011, with an 18.7 percent share in the Turkish fuel market by volume, according to the release.

With issues of immigration policy very much at the forefront of the upcoming elections, this annual conference will offer policy and legal analysis on key immigration topics facing the country and the incoming administration and Congress.
Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, D.C.
The UK vote to exit the European Union has given new momentum to euroskeptic, anti-immigration movements elsewhere. Experts discuss the political and policy lessons that can be learned from Brexit and applied to debates in Europe and North America, including how to address public anxiety over immigration and identity, while managing migration in a globalized economy.
The educational needs of immigrant students in primary and secondary schools pose a growing challenge for policymakers and educators. Speakers will discuss supplementary funding to support the educational needs of migrant-background students, and will provide an overview of the mechanics of school funding for such children in Canada, France, Germany, and United States, examined in an upcoming report.
An MPI Europe event focused on the Canadian Express Entry system—the rationale for its introduction, its building blocks, and initial outcomes—and how it may provide lessons for improving the management of skilled migration in Europe.
An expert discussion with Swedish and U.S. government officials on global and national responses to rising displacement, innovations in managing migration processes, and attempts to address the dysfunctional aspects of international migration.
MPI analysts explore how the migration politics and policies of the UK government influenced the decision to hold the "Brexit" referendum, how public attitudes towards immigration might influence the result, and how the outcome might impact migration policy in the United Kingdom and European Union more broadly.
The 10th annual Immigration Law and Policy Conference featured keynotes by U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, and panel discussions on the prospects for legislative action, policy options, and political mobilization; lessons learned from past immigration legislation and programs; and an assessment of current conditions at the U.S. border and considerations for future policy.
In the wake of the Lampedusa tragedy the Director of the European Agency for Fundamental Rights discussed the state of rights protection in Europe as well as the agency's role in this evolving arena, while ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project Founder and former National Director, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President, and U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division Senior Counsel discuss the U.S. immigrant-rights movement.

After all the rain put a damper on Halloween yesterday, today has turned out to be beautiful with much less humidity and temperatures in the low 70s. Cooler and drier air will continue to filter in overnight and lead to a rather cool weekend with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 30s.
Next week will start to see the return of clouds on Monday as high pressure slides to our north and east, returning our winds from the south and bringing back in moisture. We will remain dry until the afternoon hours on Wednesday when a few showers will be possible ahead of our next cold front on Thursday.
Our front for next Thursday looks very similar to what we saw yesterday, minus the severe threat at this point. Rain showers will work through, starting earlier in the day, and clear out and leave us for a beautiful Friday to close out next week.

Nope. Mezzetta's Golden Peperoncinis. Packaged in vinegar. Spicy and mildly hot.
Now that you mention it I don't much care for sunlight either, never go out without shades. And don't get me started on holy water.
Please express to your man that I stand with him in solidarity. ;)
Yes, I had garlic everything including wine, jelly, salsa, etc. I like garlic but some of these combinations are a stretch.
I used to know a co-worker at a previous place of employment who ate garlic daily in large doses. You could smell him fifteen feet away.

Arsenal knew the huge importance of this game against Manchester United and may have been aware that Chelsea were beating Swansea in the earlier kick off. The players had to suffer the indignity of having to clap the former captain and turncoat Robin van Persie and his team mates on to the pitch. Wenger will have told them to use that feeling to their advantage in the game, and it could not have started much better.
The Arsenal fans behaved well through the guard of honour, but were given something to cheer about after just two minutes. Lukas Podolski was given the job of replacing Giroud in the middle, but it was Theo Walcott who opened the scoring after van Persie had given the ball away. The Dutchman's contribution made it extra sweet for the Gunners.
Arsenal were fired up and were snapping into challenges and looking sharp on the ball. United nearly got back on level terms after 17 minutes but Jones put his header wide from van Persie's cross. Whether the early goal had given him a boost or he was just hitting form again, but Walcott was playing much better than he had recently and Ramsey continued his recent good form and seemed to be everywhere.
Public enemy number one was the third United player to get booked after a bad tackle on Mertesacker before half an hour had gone, which was an indicator of their frustration. An indication of how fired up the Gunners were came when Walcott went head to head with Evans after being clipped by the defender. He was booked soon after for scything down Evra.
United nearly got a goal from nothing but Szczesny kept van Persie out with his face. It would have been really harsh on Arsenal, as United were lucky not to be further behind. That seemed to rattle Arsenal, though, and Sagna ruined all the good work by giving the ball away and then tripping van Persie for a penalty that the Dutchman scored. Yet another stupid defensive error that has been the story of the season. He may have got a slight touch on the ball but it was a reckless tackle and looked a penalty in real time.
Rosicky nearly gave us back the lead at the start of the second half as Arsenal started well again. United were also looking better, though, and were creating more chances. Podolski was having little effect and Sagna had just escaped a second yellow, but Wenger kept him on and replaced Rosicky with Wilshere when the Czech player had been doing well.
The German striker did finally make way with 20 minutes left, and it was Gervinho who came on and the Ivorian nearly made an instant impact. Arsenal needed all three points, which was why Wenger made the attacking change of Oxlade-Chamberlain for Ramsey. Gibbs had a good penalty claim turned down, which shows why United have not conceded a penalty all season. I think they have to use a blunt weapon for it to be given.
Cazorla had a good shot tipped round the post before Giggs came close from a breakaway. Despite some pressure, Arsenal could not produce a winner, so Sagna's mistake was really costly. Hopefully it will not see us in the Europa League next season.

LeBron James: 1-of-6 as a member of the Heat on shots to win or tie a game in the final five seconds.
PHILADELPHIA -- LeBron James' first season in Miami will not be defined by what he did in the final seconds of close games. But it's not responsible to ignore it, either.
After he was unable to convert with about three seconds left in Game 3 against the 76ers on Sunday, James is now 1-of-6 when trying to win or tie a game in the final five seconds this season. And before this gets into a Dwyane Wade versus James debate, consider that Wade is 0-of-5 in the same situations. The Heat, as a team, are now 1-for-19 on shots that fit these criteria in the final 10 seconds of such games.
"The game wasn't decided on the final possession," Wade said in the wake of the Heat's 86-82 loss.
That is true -- the Heat had a series of breakdowns in the final 90 seconds that ultimately led to the loss. The Sixers also made a couple of clutch 3-pointers that cannot be discounted. These things happen in games that matter. The Heat had won seven games in a row and 18 of 21, so this isn't an indictment of their title chances.
But considering that six of the eight playoff games played over the weekend featured chances for one team to win or tie in the last 10 seconds, throwing away that number this time of year is equally foolish. The Heat have a problem in this area and they are almost certainly going to face it again with huge stakes on the line.
What happened to James in Game 3 was another bullet point in what has become a trend: the big, bruising and brawny James going weakly to the rim with the game on the line. It has happened three times in just the past two months in those precious last-possession situations.
On the play in question Sunday, the Heat had multiple options for a side out-of-bounds play following a timeout. But James, the first option designated by coach Erik Spoelstra, took control. He caught the inbounds pass and rejected the path to the left that would've gotten him a pick from either Chris Bosh or Wade.
Instead, he went to an isolation look against Andre Iguodala. It wasn't a bad decision -- James had space to get a head of steam and the advantage of being bigger and stronger than Iguodala. But then something happened that has occurred repeatedly: James attempted to finesse the ball into the hoop.
After getting some contact from Iguodala, James left his feet and surrendered his leverage. He was too far away from the rim to attempt a layup and instead had to toss up a floater. Elton Brand came over in help defense, blocked the shot and sealed the Sixers' win.
"I thought I put enough loft on the ball that I could get over his outstretched hand, but he made a great play," James said.
Brand did make a play. But there's something wrong with that sentence and that philosophy. James doesn't loft shots. James doesn't shoot floaters. He goes to the rim and expects to finish or draw a foul. Most of the time, he expects to finish with the foul. No player has recorded as many three-point plays in the past five years than James.
If this was a singular event, then this could be passed off as unfair scrutiny. It is scrutiny but it isn't unfair at this point. Once is a fluke, three times is a trend.
In late February, James had a chance to win a game against the Knicks in Miami. James drove to the rim with his left hand. But at the moment of truth, James avoided some contact and tried to float a ball over Carmelo Anthony. Amare Stoudemire came over in help defense and easily blocked the shot to clinch the game.
A week later against the Bulls, James again had a chance to win at home. He got a screen that allowed him to match up with the slower Joakim Noah on the outside. So he started to attack by, again, driving left toward the basket. But when it came time to go for the hoop, James again leaned back and attempted to float the ball over Noah instead of looking for the contact. There was none, and the shot missed badly.
Then Sunday he tried lobbing the ball again, this time going to his right, as he prefers.
"Earlier in his career we all thought that LeBron avoided contact when going to the rim at the end of the game because he didn't want the pressure free throws," a former James teammate said.
"But he was relentless in that Detroit series [in 2007], and I thought he'd gotten past it. It doesn't look like that anymore, but I don't know why, he's a freight train when he wants to be. You can't stop him without fouling him."
James, however, has proved to be a clutch free throw shooter. This season he shot 85 percent from the foul line in the final five minutes of games when the game was within five points either way. But for some reason, he recently seems to be avoiding some contact and attempting to go for a more finesse approach.
The season is a long way from over, and James will likely have more chances. But so far, the stats and the video don't lie -- he hasn't been as aggressive as normal and he hasn't been able to get it done.
"It's disappointing, but we're not going to hang our heads all the way to the ground about it," James said. "It's unfortunate but at the same time we'll have a better game plan, we just have to execute better."

Office Style: Socks!
The weather has been rainy so far this week in Philly, so our girls brought out their socks and rain boots to stay dry!

Recently while going through the users folder in my C: drive, I found out that I had an extra user which I had not created but had the same name as the name of a existing user on my pc, with a little difference.
For eg. I created a user named "colon" and the automatically generated second user came out to be "colon.m-hp pc". I tried to delete the original account hoping for the other account to be deleted automatically but this did not happen ,instead the "colon.m-hp pc" got deleted and the "colon" account stayed. Now a folder named "colon" still exists in my user directory even when I have deleted the account from user accounts
why?? Is it a virus or something ?? Please help.

We present a quantum-mechanical analysis of Szilard's famous single-molecule engine, showing that it is analogous to the double-slit experiment. We further show that the energy derived from the engine's operation is provided by the act of observing the molecule's location. The engine can be operated with no increase in physical entropy, and the second law of thermodynamics does not compel us to relate physical entropy to informational entropy. We conclude that information per seis a subjective, idealized, concept separated from the physical realm. Physical entropy depends on physical objects and physical interactions, and any entropy change owing to observations is entirely a result of the entropy created in the physical apparatus by the process of observation.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama is not a finalist for "Race to
the Top" education grants from the federal government.
The U.S. Department of Education named 16 finalists Thursday in
the competition for $4.35 billion in school reform grants.
Alabama was one of 41 applicants in the first round and the
winners will be chosen in April. A second round of applications
will be accepted in June.
Gov. Bob Riley said he was disappointed but not surprised by the
news, which means Alabama won't have a chance to get $181 million.
He had been urging legislators to pass a bill to allow charter
schools. That would have given Alabama a better chance in the
competition, which gave states higher marks for innovation.

I have been working hard to level up enough to survive on and get to Tatooine s i could see a bit of the Plague cycle, but.... even tho i am at a high 25, almost 26 i think, and recieved a very nice gift of some level 70 armour which has helped a lot, and have worked hard on my skills and training,
Show spoiler
(hidden content -
Kira and I hit a story sequence where she meets her brother and he turns out to be a giant jerk of a nasty guy and he is way above my level,
as an Elite and i just dont have the strength in me left to run around leveling up two levels just to beat him. Can someone help me get rid of this nasty slob? I can meet someone at the medical station on the asteroid, I think that is before the story door, not sure as i am still a noobie, i will head back in, had to take a break and get soem sleep, and try to see where it might be possible to meet up, as i had to get to the station on my own ship, i dont think there are any fleet ships that go there.
anyway, PM me or post if you can lend a hand sometime in the next day or so, if not now, i will sleep and try agian tomorrow, and maybe i can get leveled up dong space missions and some more work on Nar Shaddaa. Just wanted to see if anyone had the time to lend a quick hand.
I am playing as Ceaern in game. it looks like this event is designed to force multiplayer as i dont see any way one person can beat this boss, he is so overpowered. Ah well. Let me know if anyone is willing to lend a hand. thanks.

New Fair Housing Case Moves Forward…..With Judge Leon
The reach of U.S. fair-housing law has been an elusive topic for the Supreme Court, which has seen two recent housing cases disappear from its docket. A new case moving forward in Washington may give the justices another opportunity.
To make matters more interesting, the judge presiding over the litigation is the newly famous Richard Leon, who last week ruled the National Security Agency's mass collection of phone records "almost certainly" violates the Constitution.
At issue is the civil-rights era Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discriminatory housing practices. Plaintiffs have used the law to challenge practices that affect minorities disproportionately, without having to prove intentional discrimination. Advocates say the approach is key to protecting minority rights in some circumstances.
The Supreme Court was scheduled this fall to hear arguments on whether such "disparate impact" lawsuits are allowable under the act. But the case, from Mount Holly, N.J., settled when town officials reached a deal with residents who challenged plans to redevelop their largely minority neighborhood.
Another high court case, from St. Paul, Minn., settled last year, a deal brokered in part by the Justice Department's former top civil-rights lawyer Thomas Perez. Mr. Perez and civil-rights groups were concerned that the Supreme Court's conservative majority might not allow disparate-impact claims.
Lower courts have been in agreement in allowing such cases, leading court watchers to wonder why the Supreme Court has been eager to get involved. The justices normally intervene to settle issues that have prompted divisions in lower courts.
The latest case, filed in June, is a challenge by two trade associations representing the insurance industry. The American Insurance Association and the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies are challenging a Department of Housing and Urban Development regulation from February that explicitly allows disparate-impact claims. They say the rule must be struck down because the Fair Housing Act "prohibits only intentional discrimination and not practices that result in a disparate impact."
Judge Leon had postponed the case because of the Supreme Court's pending consideration of the issue in the Mount Holly matter. He restarted the litigation on Friday. The insurance associations filed their written arguments against the rule the same day. They say the HUD rule would disrupt how insurers determine rates for homeowners' policies.
A HUD spokeswoman said the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation.
