What a sad turn of events....
Here I sit in a hospice, next to my best friend for the past 10 years. We had a long distance friendship, having met on the internet at a pet care website. She taught me to knit by phone and internet.
When her cancer returned and she started another round of chemo, she asked me to knit her a chemo cap, which I begrudgingly did for her. She's a master knitter, and I consider myself as either an advanced beginner or perhaps intermediate knitter. I was so intimidated by her skills that it was hard to knit that cap for her...and of course, for the reason I was knitting it. But knit it I did. I knit it when we thought she'd lose her hair, not die.
She's dying of cancer at 55 years old and was admitted to hospice 2 weeks ago. Her husband flew me here to MD (from CA) at her request to be with her as her friend, to teach me the things I want to learn before she can't teach anymore, and because I'm a nurse.
My friend is dying, my teacher is dying, and I'm so lost in the anticipatory grief of it tonight that I don't know where to turn.
Her name is Nancy. If those of you who pray could pray for a painless death for her, that will be very much appreciated.
Oh no!! I don't even know what to say. That's so horrible... she's so young... what kind of cancer is it? :cry:
She's in the process of knitting a sweater for her husband, she's asked me to take the project home and finish it for him. I've never knit a sweater before. The body is almost done, and I know how to pick up stitches, but will need help with it. Her husband also asked me to finish it for him. :/
Oh Feef..I'm so sorry! Your story brought tears to my eyes. My heart goes out to you and her and her family. :hug:
I have said a prayer for your friend, her DH and you. Finish that sweater and let the love be knit throughout the sweater. It will be a beautiful tribute to all of your lives.
Dear Feef, You are doing something very difficult and doing it very well. You have my thoughts and prayers. And of course you'll have all the help that the knitters here can offer in finishing that sweater.
All the best.
Prayers for a peaceful passing and the peace that passes understanding for you and her family. May God's hand be on you all!
You have my sympathy and prayers. I am crying just now because I know what you are feeling. I went through this with my younger sister. I just wanted a peaceful and pain free death for her too. There is just too much cancer in this world. I know you will get some peace by knitting this sweater for her husband. Bless you.:pray:
feef-all good thoughts and prayers to your friend, her family and to you....
My thoughts and prayers for strength and courage to each one of you suffering through this tragedy. Your dear friend's friendship will be with you and the memories the two of you shared always.

I'm running a small multi-site network using Sitewide Tags to import all posts to the front page of the main blog. Lately, we've been discussing trying to standardize post titles in the "Reviews" section you see there on the front page, but though everyone agrees it would look more professional to do so, none of the network's bloggers are particularly keen on changing their own styles, since they've all been doing it their way for years.
So, my question is, is it possible to have a custom post title that appears in the main blog only, while preserving each blogger's chosen title format on each of their individual blogs? Is this something that could be set up as a custom field?
I'm not the most sophisticated coder in the world, but I would investigate this further if I knew for sure it was possible to do.

Definición de fillister en inglés:
1A rebate for holding a sash window.
1.1 (also fillister plane) A rebate plane.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The rebate would have been cut with a moving or standing fillister and the ovolo cut with a moulding plane that might well have also been used in other more general purpose joinery.
- Around 1800, edge-cutting astragal and hollow planes appeared, although the rebates were still cut using the sash fillister.
- In spite of the early appearance of the adjustable fillister, it doesn't appear that they were ever very popular, since to the best of my knowledge, no other early adjustable sash fillisters made by New England planemakers exist.
Early 19th century: perhaps from French feuilleret.

In this paper, a new energy model is developed based on the kinematic and dynamic behaviors of a chosen machine tool. One significant benefit of the developed energy model is their inherited relationship to the design variables involved in the manufacturing processes. Without radical changes of the machine tool's structure, the proposed model can be readily applied to optimize process parameters to reduce energy consumption. A new parallel kinematic machine Exechon is used as a case study to demonstrate the modeling procedure. The derived energy model is then used for simulation of drilling operations on aircraft components to verify its feasibility. Simulation results indicate that the developed energy model has led to an optimized machine setup which only consumes less than one-third of the energy of an average machine setup over the workspace. This approach can be extended and applied to other machines to establish their energy models for green and sustainable manufacturing.

It is fantastic to see Twitter moving faster than ever with its developments. The company received $800m in investment, acquired several Apps recently and put out plenty of new features.
On top of all this, the company just announced that there are now over 1 million Apps that are part of the Twitter eco-system. Every 1,5 seconds another one registered. Recently, Twitter's own Jack Dorsey approached App developers and encouraged them to keep building their businesses in and around the Twitter eco-system. This is particularly interesting as Twitter's relationship hasn't always been a friendly one.
Before you start using your camera, make sure that you have all the right equipments that you will need to start the journey of digital photography. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, having proper equipments are must if you want success in digital photography.
Without certain equipments, digital cameras are really not complete or you can also say that without at least a couple of digital camera equipments, no digital camera setup is complete.
How many equipments you are going to be looking into purchasing are depends on what you want to do with digital photography. If you do not have the money for these kinds of things that you will have to have than a professional career in digital photography may not be what you are looking to do.

It always ends up with creatives being asked to work for free or give up something we would rather not give up. It makes us feel low, worthless and frustrated and those are feelings no human should have, especially in business. What about when it comes from other creatives? Shouldn't we know better? Are there those that know better but take advantage of their peers?
Computer technology has had a huge impact on the economy and education, and the number of online transactions is escalating. This makes competition tough, although there are endless opportunities. The Internet is a world of opportunity where flowers of success grow on the trees of conversion.
The Internet certainly is amazing; anyone can reach almost anyone else. The only hitch is that competitors abound. If you don't manage to float to the top with online charisma, millions of potential buyers will ignore what little waves you make. Today's customer is free to select, compare and analyze your products and services against those of your competitors.
When most people think about preparing for their own death, they inevitably think about creating a will… it is sort of the default consideration regarding death planning. Of course, there is no question that creating a will is an enormously important step, and one that is ignored by far too many people who simply do not want to think about death. However, in the modern technological world there are many other considerations beyond a simple final will and testament!
For example, a significant percentage of people also do not take the time to consider the online world when they are planning for their passing. Today there is an enormous amount of information, property, finances and other important considerations that are found only online. Each of these elements must be appropriately planned for in order to confirm the appropriate utilisation and management of them after your death.

The recipe on the documentation page Authenticating against Django's user database from Apache:

The solution for me was to include the AuthUserFile /dev/null directive to the Location tag:
<Location /example/> AuthType Basic AuthName "example.com" AuthBasicAuthoritative Off AuthUserFile /dev/null Require valid-user SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonAuthenHandler django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython </Location>
Although the title of this ticket says Apache 2.2, i have not tested this on other Apache versions.
Without the AuthUserFile /dev/null directive everything works fine however apache prints the error log message for each request that uses the authentication handler. Which grows the error_log with inappropriate messages, so i think it's useful to add this to the documentation page.

Some trees to navigate around and enough OB areas to keep any golfer on their toes. The only disc losing spots are along the left of fairway 8 (two locked high fence areas housing generators). A walking path runs through the course and athletic fields are adjacent. Avoid holes 3 and 5 if a soccer game is in progress.

Canonical Demos uTouch
These are exciting times for Ubuntu as uTouch and Unity bring together optimization and touch gestures to the ever-changing desktop.
Canonical released a video demonstration of uTouch on the Unity desktop via Ubuntu Developers on BlipTV. On his blog, Duncan McGreggor, Engineering Manager of Product Strategy, points out that the uTouch stack is new with Ubuntu 10.10.
McGreggor writes, "This video shows off most of the touch capabilities that were integrated into Unity for Maverick. Neil Patel (fellow Big Lebowski fan) and John Lea will be working very closely together during Natty to expand this feature set to take more advantage of the gesture capabilities of uTouchSimlarly, Henrik Rydberg will be working with them to enhance the uTouch gesture engine. And all of us will be working on the newest addition to the uTouch family that Mark mentioned in his blog post: a gesture language."
With planning for the next Ubuntu release, Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) starting at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in a few days, I couldn't help but wonder what is in store for uTouch. McGreggor links to the DRAFT of Unity Gesture UI Guidelines and also provides a concise lists of gestures that were demonstrated in in the video.

Comments about 'Linda & Richard Eyre: Why only faith and family can save America'
- Oldest first

I don't think many people would argue with the premise that strong families
are important. I don't think many people would argue with the premise that
self-control is an essential skill that helps restrain selfishness for the good
of the group (religion often serves the same purpose).
However, the belief that only the family structures and religions preferred by the majority can accomplish these goals is quite myopic.
For example, even non-theistic (e.g. no God) religions like Buddhism very effectively promote self-control and familial/community responsibility. Arguably, they do so without the self-righteousness and animus so common among practitioners of the Abrahamic religions.
If we want a further the ends the authors promote, perhaps we should consider alternative means.

As a historian myself, I would suggest the Linda and Richard Eyre go back a little further and study Ancient Athens. It was a mix of strong exceptionalism (they were better than everyone else), interventionism (control and interference in the affairs of other city-states), and a shift towards extreme conservatism (the killing of their greatest mind, Socrates, and the suppression of visionary, do-it-together ideas) that brought at end to that once mighty civilization. Family problems is the least of our concerns. We are following the politics of Athens almost exactly. That is our pressing problem right now. Family is important, but our political system is in dire need of some soul searching, and it better be fast.

I have lived in China now for a few years and I agree that Family AND Religion
are required for a strong nation. The Chinese have a strong family connection
but have had the religious aspect persecuted for last 65 years. There are many
examples in their recent history that prove that the missing component for them
to feel happy in their situation is not something that can be provided by a
government. If the Socialist and Communist version of government, clearly feels
responsible for providing everything, then how can any version that includes
more freedom imagine it could be any more successful.
In discussions with my colleagues here it is even recognized by those who are Party members that Religion cannot be substituted by government.
If American's want to save the America that was respected and looked to as an example for democracy then a change to the original concepts needs to become a priority for the citizens.

Scott & Maurine
Thank you for having the courage to write this piece. We do in fact live in a world where some think that government and force will answer/solve society's pressing questions and problems. I wholeheartedly agree that if all of us as individuals and as families take responsibility for our lives and place faith in God we will be much better off. There are many things in life that money cannot buy. The family is the best place for our children to learn personal responsibility and the need for boundaries. The family is the perfect place for children to learn that with freedom and choice come responsibility and consequence.

"Going back to the Roman empire, the decline of family solidarity and of
religious faith ..."
Actually, any "decline" in faith in the Roman Empire was the result of embracing Christianity and abandoning their own gods.
I can get by without faith in god's "sovreignity" and without religion.
My (LGBT) family is just as strong and necessary as the "traditional" family the Eyre's promote.

Thank you very much for this. I find it shameful when incredibly obvious and
basic ideas such as this have to be repeated so frequently. It's like
people today are stabbing themselves with needles in an attempt to cease the
pain of being stabbed with needles, willingly ignorant of the needles as the
source of their pain.
To those who don't quite agree with this article; Without trumpeting my studies or credentials, I invite you to look more closely at history and to exercise critical thinking in doing so. This article's assessment has held consistantly through all recorded cultures and ages thus far.

Kings Court, as a historian myself, I find your point to be more in support of
the Eyre's thesis than against it. Athens, though a city-state, still built
a power base, eventually imperial in structure under the Macedonians, that
established many of the conditions that Rome later followed—as outlined by
the Eyres.
Our present-day political quagmire in America and the turmoil in much of the rest of the world fits the profile the Eyres delineate. Given enough time and space, you, I, or they, could portray how our world-wide large governmental/political structures suppress individuals and families that are striving to live according to the dictates of their own conscience.
As to the political parties in America, George Washington warned us about the dangers inherent in their existence and use. They are extra-constitutional at best, and manipulative, oppressive, and counterproductive at worst. Wishful thinking, perhaps--but I for one wish they'd just go away! In the meantime, as you say—we'd better do something quick!

Thank you for this article! I enjoyed hearing something positive about traditional marriage. I agree with the points this article highlights. Faith and family are paramount to having a thriving society. Only faith and family can prevent a complete collapse of principle and duty. The government, though it may try to help, is as the article describes, insufficient to meet the needs of all people without compromising their faith and their family. What America needs to stay unified is more faith and more traditional families.

RE: Faith is a force from the heavens above, the belief that God's word
is more important than man's[JS]. True,
Ephesians 6:2,3. Honor your Father and Mother"[not mothers],which is the first commandment(Not a suggestion) with a promise. God distinguishes father and mother from all other persons on earth, chooses them and sets them next to Himself, occupying the highest place in our lives next to God..
The Apostles did not maintain any .O.T.pattern of polygamy and they and the early church condemmed it:
Justin Martyr (c.160) rebukes the Jews for allowing polygamy: "Your imprudent and blind masters [i.e., Jewish teachers] even until this time permit each man to have four or five wives. ..." [ANF, vol. 1, p. 266].
Irenaeus (c.180) condemns the Gnostics for, among other things, polygamy: "Others, again, following upon Basilides and Carpocrates, have introduced promiscuous intercourse and a plurality of wives..." [ANF, vol. 1, p.353].
Tertullian (c.207) was also explicit: "Chapter II.-Marriage Lawful, But Not Polygamy. We do not indeed forbid the union of man and woman,

"The greatest institution — of the sovereignty of God — and the most basic institution — of family — are the only elements powerful enough to stop government from excesses and from sucking away individual agency." Individual agency is lost in many ways - for example being laid off as a breadwinner at age 55 when one's job is shipped off to China. It's happened over and over again. I don't think the Eyres are able to see how people can become trapped by the forces of the market they presume to love so much.

The Eyres deserve credit for a wonderfully tendentious column and for displaying
courage in preaching to the choir in an era when fewer and fewer people ever get
a pat on the back for doing so. Also, I didn't detect a single attribution
problem in the column, so congratulations on that, too.

Many, many issues in this article. But I'll challenge the notion that all totalitarian regimes work as hard as they can to create a secular society and eliminate religion. That completely ignores some of the worst totalitarian regimes in power right now, for example Saudi Arabia. Totalitarian regimes use whatever is at their disposal. At least half of the time that has been religion. To use your own example, the Roman Empire was a Christian, totalitarian regime that imposed conformity through baptism or demanded your execution. I really hope people aren't naive enough to believe that the mere presence of religion is any kind of guarantee against totalitarianism.

Family often falls short of the holiday greeting card image that seems to
enthrall us. The excesses that stifle freedom and stunt growth originate within
the home as often as from without. The Eyres paint a cozy idyllic picture no
decent person wants to trample on but it's just not the whole picture or
the real world.
Did family play a role in the American Revolution? Perhaps, but powder and lead had much to do with the outcome. A crosscut of colonial America made up Washington's Army whose volunteers weren't asked if they were gay or straight when they enlisted. They were black and white, Protestant and Catholic, atheists, Jews, farmers, and drifters. Americans all.

OHBU, I looked at the article again to check the Eyres use of the term
"totalitarianism." I think most of us think in terms of the
Stalinist/Nazi regimes when the term is applied, and that's the way I took
It may be that the Eyres could have given more attention to state-controlled religions, some of which you have listed. But I think their main point dealt with faith, not any particular religion. Some of the posters on this thread seem confused on that point.
I believe that America, with its historical emphasis on freedom of religion, as well as privacy and other rights of individuals and families, is being threatened by excessive governmental interference in faith and family. Wasn't that what the Eyres were trying to warn against?

It is difficult to know where to start with the criticism this article merits. The article is an obvious attempt to tout the authors' commitment to limited government by connecting its virtues somehow with family and faith. The level of conflation by the Eyres in forging this connection makes my head spin. Yes, plenty of DN readers will like the sentiment because it conforms with their values; however, the arguments made in the article are at best specious. Throughout history families have fared well or poorly in a broad range of political societies. In one limited example, I spend considerable time in China and eastern-bloc countries and I can say with confidence that families in China are at least as strong there under a totalitarian regime (and without religion) as they are along the Wasatch Front where the values of limited government and religion are accepted and adopted norms. Much of this has to do with the culture of "clan" in China. Culture and many other intangibles matter far more than the size of government when it comes to family values.

The unanswered questions here are: Which religion? Which God? What type of Family? The source of much of the divisiveness in the world today and throughout history is differing opinions on these questions. "Family or Religion" is not the answer. If it was, we wouldn't have the divisiveness we have today. Secularism in politics and policy is the only way. Have your religion in your personal lives all you want. I will defend that right! Be Secular!

8 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
just installed these in my car, very easy to do.
makes my car sound way better than the stock speakers i had in before :D
I was very surprised when I installed these $17 speakers. Bass isn't bad, Mid/Treble was very good also. You cannot beat these for this price. They sound just as good as my Kicker DS600 6" 2-ways and, they cost about 4 times more at $70. Also, don't expect these to handle 150w rms power, that will/is over doing it a bit.
I wouldn't put these on no more than 50-75 watts per speaker and, that would be on a 100hz and above crossover. You won't be disappointed in these.
I just installed these last weekend in our family van's front doors. They aren't high end speakers, but they sound good to me. They put out quality sound and do everything that we would ever need them to do. In college (about 20 years ago) I built a sound system for my car and did it on the cheap (I call it frugal) and these are the types of speakers I would have purchased then probably because they do 80-90% of what the others do for 1/3 the price. If you are looking for true high end sound these probably won't make you happy, but if you are an individual or, like me, the dad of a family that needs a decent set of speakers for not much money these are great! I am very satisfied with the performance and especially the price.
My speakers were blown and I was on a very low budget. These speakers are better than my original clarion speakers that came in the car. They have excellent sound quality. Be careful putting them in. The speaker fabric detaches from the medal very easily. I fixed this problem by using a hot glue gun. These are exceptional speakers for the price and I would recomend them to anyone.
I needed a replacement speaker for an older car but did not want to spend much. My husband installed these as replacement speakers and they sound better than the originals.

Yeah, well, it's good, but there's "bad notes" if I dare say so... like usual!
Sound quality is great, like usual.
Keep it up!! (btw if you want to know what I say when I mean bad note, ship me the thing, I'll replace with good ones!!)
Well I guess I could, I would have to remaster and re-edit it but I guess I can send over my FLP as is for dissection. I felt there was some bad notes but the quirky factor that felt right for me got to me again.

Virginia AG mocks dangers of CO2, telling Tea Partiers to hold their breath and make the EPA happy.
On Saturday, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli attended the Powhatan Taxpayers' Alliance Tea Party rally to address his beloved base. Think Progress has the details of his anti-science pandering:
Cuccinelli reportedly greeted the crowd by saying that it was "great to be with so many people who appreciate the Constitution" and then talked about his challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency's conclusion that greenhouse gases should be regulated under the Clean Air Act. In particular, the crowd loved when he made fun of the EPA and joked that they could hold their breath for a few seconds and make the EPA "happy":
"The Attorney General's office is a very reactive office. We wouldn't be suing the EPA if the EPA did not abandon all semblance of science and law to put out its endangerment finding on the CO2. Now, let's make them all happy just for a moment and everybody just hold your breath," Cuccinelli waited several seconds before saying "There you go, just a short period of time with no CO2. Now the trees are going protest but at least the EPA will be happy".
Cuccinelli is a full-on global warming disinfomer, saying that climate change is "unverifiable and doctored" science. However, environmental and energy groups in Virginia are increasingly pushing back on Cuccinelli's attempts to dismantle regulations.

I've got news for Ken Cuccinelli. I just spent the weekend in Virginia and guess what – the trees aren't happy. In fact, they are rapidly dying from exposure to toxic greenhouse gases from fuel emissions.
Walk around any backyard or park or street in Virginia and try to find a tree that doesn't show symptoms of decline – cracking, peeling bark; breaking branches; stunted leaves; thin crowns; yellowing needles' infections from disease, fungus and insects. You won't find a single healthy specimen and you will find plenty of dead trees.
Find some undisturbed woods and count how many trees are lying on the ground or standing dead and compare that to trees that still show any signs of life.
It's scary.
Selective Science Disease – A psychological disorder involving the mixing of peer reviewed scientific work product with fantasy for personal, political or financial gain, usually occurring when actual science conflicts too greatly with the patients world view or belief systems. This behavior often results in great risk to the patient and others not directly in contact with the patient.
There has always been a big segment of our society that lives in the ozone. I don't know if they are growing or shrinking, but if they ever really seize control, watch out.
This makes my head explode. Such concentrated ignorance in the 21st Century is unbelievable.
Climate change denial aside, Ken Cuccinelli probably had a good idea when he told his Tea Bag Party rally to hold their breath. Just keep holding. Don't ever stop holding. Polluted air isn't a problem for those who hold their breath.
Cuccinelli and governor McDonnell are embarrassments to the state of Virginia. Just a couple of global warming denying homophobic idiots holding major state offices. It must be an embarrassing time to be a Virginian.
Dana, I am a native Virginian (and current resident) and I for one am truly embarrassed. It still baffles me how a state that went for Obama and has two Democratic senators could have possibly elected those two ridiculous nitwits. At the end of 2008 I was really hopeful that our state was starting to turn the corner with respect to gaining some enlightenment and common sense. Guess I was wrong.
Somebody forgot to tell this glacier that global warming is a hoax:
Talk about target fixation. Here for the sake of a single election Cuccinelli is going to leave a smoking hole in the ground where his reputation used to be. What happens with the next election? Once you've augured your hyperbole irretrievably deep into the earth there's really not much left to work with down the road.
I suppose eventually these folks will come to understand that the public's memory has been vastly augmented in the past twenty years. No matter how small the crowd in view, the actual audience now and forever is much larger and includes all opponents.
Good point Doug. All that baggery is nicely stored on servers all around the world.
Future election cycles, when the deniers are down to the loony 2%, this stuff is going to be available for their opponents to use against them.
And it's going to burn.
Oh, thank God for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli! Now that Virginia's the butt of all the GW denier jokes it will take the attention off of Texas and the embarrasing acts by the Texas Education Board's decisions to dumb down anthropogenic global warming, evolution and introduce "intelligent design."

MONTGOMERY, Ala. ----- The Auburn University at Montgomery department of athletics has announced a newly-developed partnership with the local restaurant Jason's Deli.
Beginning August 28, Jason's Deli will host a monthly Spirit Night on the final Wednesday of each month. The monthly promotion will be held from 5-8 p.m., on the designated Wednesday's, and will provide AUM with 15 percent of all receipts generated during the span. Unlike previous promotions, no coupon is required to participate. The Deli is located at 1520 East Boulevard in Montgomery.
"I am pleased to announce this partnership between Jason's Deli and AUM athletics," Director of Athletics Steve Crotz said.

Jason's Deli was founded in 1976 by Joe Tortorice, Jr. The deli stands for three simple concepts: people, food and choice. Jason's believes in treating employees as family and backs it up by making remarkable investments in their people. They were also the first major restaurant to ban artificial trans fats in the U.S. and also the first to eliminate high fructose corn syrup.

Deputy Mayor Marc V. Shaw received several threatening phone calls last month and police officers were temporarily assigned to guard his house, administration officials said yesterday. The calls followed Mr. Shaw's public criticism of the Fire Department. Mr. Shaw said firefighters fight fires only 5 percent of the time and ''are hanging around doing nothing the other 95 percent of the time.'' Mr. Shaw's office at City Hall received at least two calls from unidentified men who commented on Mr. Shaw's remarks and made references to his family.

Marine Commandant Suggests Presence Of Gays Would Endanger The Lives Of Straight Marines
Speaking to reporters this afternoon, Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos — who has opposed repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell — suggested that if Congress lifts the ban against open service and allows gays to serve without hiding their sexual orientation, the Marines could be so distracted that they would die in the line of duty:
The chief of the US Marine Corps said Tuesday that ending a ban on openly gay troops in the military could jeopardize the lives of Marines in combat by undermining closely knit units.
General James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps and an opponent of lifting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" prohibition, cited a Pentagon study saying Marines fighting in Afghanistan were worried that permitting gays to serve openly could disrupt "unit cohesion."
"When your life hangs on a line, on the intuitive behavior of the young man… who sits to your right and your left, you don't want anything distracting you," Amos told reporters at the Pentagon.
"I don't want to lose any Marines to distraction. I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda (hospital) with no legs," he said.
He added that "mistakes and inattention or distractions cost Marines' lives. That's the currency of this fight."
His comments were the toughest yet on the issue, after he testified at a congressional hearing that he opposed lifting the ban at a time of war.
Amos said Marines fighting in Afghanistan sent a "very strong message" in the Pentagon's recent study, expressing opposition to the repealing the ban in an survey.
"I have to listen to that," he said.
The Pentagon's survey did reveal that Marines are most opposed to repealing the measure, but nowhere did it suggest that the distraction of gay servicemembers would have the effect of killing their straight counterparts. What it found was that 47.2% of Marines said a repeal of DADT would have a negative impact and were more likely to say their morale would be negatively affected by repeal than other Service members. Ninety-two percent of servicemembers also said they were fine with working with their gay colleagues, including 84% in Marine combat arms units. The Wonk Room argues that Amos should not be worried about the "distraction" of gay servicemembers. The real distraction is a policy which denies gay Marines the right to confide in their straight comrades as they're dealing with the difficulties of deployment.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today refused to condemn Amos' comments.

Paramount won't screen G. I. Joe for critics.
Usually, this means the movie sucks and has a built-in audience anyway, so who cares what those stupid reviewers think? This, according to the story, is an odder move, as this is the final big-time action movie of the summer. It's not surprising based on the critical reaction to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which apparently causes brain aneurysms to explode but is still in the top ten of highest-grossing movies of all time. So why screen G. I. Joe for critics when it's going to get trashed anyway and will probably still make a boaload of money?

The challenge
What if you could prevent downtime?
Operating, maintaining and managing assets throughout their lifecycle can be expensive. Asset-intensive companies often lack visibility into asset health and are unable to accurately forecast downtime and costs. The ability to prevent downtime can help lower costs related to overtime, warranty expenses and lost productivity. The predictive maintenance solution from IBM and SAP brings together the expertise of IBM Research and technology of SAP HANA to enable the application of advanced analytics to equipment data and plant maintenance information. This can help you eliminate unplanned downtime, maximize asset use and optimize your maintenance schedules.
The solution
Fix it before it breaks
The predictive maintenance solution can access multiple data sources in real time to help you predict asset failure so your organization can avoid costly downtime and reduce maintenance costs. You can proactively predict failures before they happen, instead of fixing equipment after it breaks.
With the predictive maintenance solution, you can monitor, maintain and optimize assets for better availability, utilization and performance. Being able to predict asset failure also helps you optimize quality and supply chain processes. The solution goes beyond just monitoring asset sensors by integrating information taken from other sources such as environmental or facilities monitoring systems, and unstructured data such as text information from maintenance logs.
The benefits
Know when it's time for repairs
The predictive maintenance solution analyzes data from multiple sources to help you make better informed decisions about managing your assets. The solution collects unstructured and structured data, generates predictive statistical models and displays alerts. The solution then recommends corrective actions and helps you analyze the root cause of the problem. This solution can help you:
- Anticipate asset maintenance and product quality problems.
- Reduce unscheduled asset downtime and extend the useful life of assets.
- Improve asset utilization and process quality.
- Monitor how assets are performing in real time and predict what will happen next.
- Improve diagnosis and prognosis capabilities to determine the best repair strategies and reduce unscheduled maintenance.
- Align the most appropriate resources with the most important actions.
A strategy workshop is also available to help you get started and evaluate your current business issues, concerns and future directions. IBM consultants can help you assess your options to design an overall architecture and solution roadmap to address your business needs.
The alliance partnership

It includes everything from traditional ERP applications to customer and supplier relationships, contract lifecycles, transportation, warehousing and beyond. IBM and SAP clients benefit from preconfigured and optimized application suites and solution infrastructures.

A ribbon of walkers could be seen from Anderson County High School to Main Street last Friday evening, as people banded together to raise the awareness and prevalence of drugs here in Anderson County during a walk sponsored by HEROES (Helping Educate Reaching Out to End the Stigma).
Local leaders and law enforcement walked arm-in-arm with overdose survivors and area families affected by addiction.
A prayer service for racial harmony at the Anderson County Courthouse was disrupted Monday evening when two men allegedly walked by and threw firecrackers, startling the crowd.
Cameron Allen Mayberry, 20, of 1171 Cox Lane, Lawrenceburg and William C. Richardson, 21, of #9 West Court Street/Town Terrace, Lawrenceburg were each charged with disorderly conduct after being chased down by police officers at the event.
Family isn't always flesh and blood.
For families with foster children, this sentiment rings especially true.
"I always tell our kids, 'We might not be the perfect family, but we love you and care for you," said Lawrenceburg resident Michael Hart, who along with partner Kenny Ansert have three foster children.
A study of Highway 151 through Alton shows that a five-mile stretch of the road is not safe for commercial trucks, according to a leader of the group suing the state to get trucks banned from that road.
Tom Isaac, who for nearly a year has lead the charge to rid the dangerous stretch of state highway of large trucks, said he has not seen the study but was told of its results.
"The state has assured us the study has been done and that it shows the road to be unsafe due to a litany of things," he said.
Some mischievous, clever vandal(s) pulled a prank switching the 'Cemetery Entrance' road sign with the 'Factory Entrance' road sign on South Main Street recently. The sign in front of the cemetery now reads 'Factory Entrance' and the road sign leading to the industrial park bears the words 'Cemetery Entrance.' As of Thursday morning, it had not been changed back.
A prayer service for racial harmony at the Anderson County Courthouse was disrupted early this evening when two men allegedly walked by and threw firecrackers, startling the crowd.
Cameron Allen Mayberry, 20, of 1171 Cox Lane, Lawrenceburg, and William C. Richardson, 21, of #9 West Court Street/Town Terrace, Lawrenceburg, were each charged with disorderly conduct after being chased down by police officers at the event.
A part-time certified courtroom security officer was fired today from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office for posting a racially charged statement on his Facebook page.
Sheriff Troy Young announced the firing, emphasizing that the former employee is not a deputy, only worked "two or three days a month" providing security in the Anderson County Courthouse and that the post in no way reflects the view of his office.
Four dilapidated homes on Woodford Street could soon be facing the wrecking ball.
The Lawrenceburg City Council on Monday received an update on the properties, which have been determined to be unsafe.
City Administrator Robbie Hume said before the meeting that city officials have spent more than two years working with the property owner, Craig Sherwood, to clean them up.
"We've been working with the property owner to do something with them, but at this point, nothing has been done in the time-frame allotted," Hume said.
Open Hands Food Pantry
Benefit Ride is July 16
The 7th Annual Open Hands Food Pantry Benefit Ride is planned for July 16 at the food pantry.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with kickstands up at 10 a.m.
Cost of the ride is a $20 donation per bike and $5 per passenger. All proceeds go toward the pantry in support of their missions.

Orange Park, FL
TriStar Pictures packed a one-two punch for Neill Blomkamp fans: In addition to releasing this new poster for the IMAX presentation of Elysium, the studio also unveiled a new trailer that explains a bit more of the film's plot.
As we saw in the previous trailer, Matt Damon's Max De Costa lives on Earth in 2154, which isn't such a great deal. While he and others like him struggle to survive on a ravaged, overpopulated world, the wealthy live privileged lives on Elysium, a perfect city orbiting the planet, packed with beauty and cancer-killing machines. For some reason, Max needs to get up to the city, so he asks a freedom fighter to graft a kind of exoskeleton to his body that will allow him to fool their systems.
The new trailer fills in a lot of the back story and gives us a better idea of De Costa as a character. Now we know about his thieving past and that he needs to get to Elysium because he had an accident at work that will kill him in days. Plus, you get to see more of Jodie Foster as Secretary Delacourt and Sharlto Copley as the villainous, exosuit-wearing Kruger.
Like his previous effort District 9, Blomkamp wrote Elysium and also directed. The film is scheduled for an Aug. 9 release.
