'It does no harm to throw the occasional man overboard," observed British politician Ian Gilmour. "But it does not do much good if you are steering full-speed ahead for the rocks." One of the great lions of the London political scene in the middle of the last century, Gilmour would have been among the last people surprised by the sudden defenestration of Donald Rumsfeld by the man who, just days earlier, pronounced that his embattled defense secretary was doing a "fantastic" job. The course for the rocks in Iraq had been largely charted by Rumsfeld, with his failure to provide a post-invasion plan with even the remotest chance of success. To a gimlet-eyed observer like Gilmour, the ouster was all but inevitable. Yet such was the depth of the White House state of denial over Iraq-indeed, over the several glaring embarrassments that have blotted its second-term copybook-that even jaded observers wondered whether President Bush knew something they didn't know when he professed, on the very eve of his political Waterloo, confidence in an 11th-hour GOP triumph.
After his defeat in the general election in 1945, Churchill, another grizzled veteran of London's political fratricide, responded to his wife's vain efforts to comfort him. "If it is a blessing," he told her, "it is certainly very well disguised." The same, perhaps, may not be said for the voters' rebuke of the White House. A less chastening result
and, who knows, the president might have been persuaded to stick with Rummy and, even if he had to refrain from using the actual words, to "stay the course." Blessings come in all sorts of strange packages, and this may prove one of the stranger but, in the end, more salutary.
Psychobabble. One of Washington's more tedious parlor games has been the whispered wonderings about strains in the relationship between the younger Bush and his father. The return to center stage of one of the elder Bush's most trusted aides as Rumsfeld's replacement prompted a frenzied new round of psychobabble. Not only was Bob Gates the elder Bush's CIA director, but he also served as deputy to Brent Scowcroft, the older man's national security adviser and close friend. Scowcroft's break with the current White House over Iraq was offered as Exhibit A in the case for a rupture in the relationship between Bush pC(re et fils. Hmm. If armchair psychology doesn't happen to be your thing, however, and you're one of the many millions of Americans whose vote seemed to express the belief that the Bush team has slipped its intellectual and political moorings, the casting of James Baker seemed to suggest a more simple if less charitable plotline: adult-supervision time!
To those most deeply cynical about the 43rd president, of course, such supervision was supposed to have been supplied by Dick Cheney. But when someone like Scowcroft, who has known and worked with the vice president for about 30 years, says the current Cheney is someone he "doesn't know," the evidence of something being seriously amiss is pretty hard to ignore. Which is why last week's White House drama seemed to offer more plots and tangled subplots than a Tolstoy novel, only without any of the brooding darkness. Nope, Rummy was out, Gates was in, good fellows all, smiles all around. Thus, it was on to lunch with House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi, then a grip-and-grin with Harry Reid, the incoming Senate majority leader. Hatchets buried, knives sheathed-lots of work to do.
The cockeyed optimists among us would have us believe that elections offer a chance for renewal, a fresh start. Such hopes have been dashed countless times, of course, but voters spoke with such force and clarity last week that perhaps this time will be different. Old Gilmour would be having none of it.

Hello all,
I'm going batty! I'm trying to get Gengo 2.5.1 from the wp plugins site (only download spot I could find) and am completely unable to do so. Everytime I try, it gets me an "interuption error". Trying to grab 2.5 or 2.5 RC1 gets going at the whopping speed of 2.7Kb/sec (yes, two point 7 kylobytes per second!!!)
I'd quite like to *try* this plugin to see it will fit my needs, but if I can't even download the thing, no point...
Is there a problem with the download file, or the server, or something?
Thanks :)

Thats the way it seems, how do i make it so the files in car/www/disk2 go to the second hard drive? I mounted it and everything to there.

AUGUSTA — A Grovetown teenager has been killed after he lost control of his pickup truck and struck a tractor-trailer carrying diesel fuel.
The Augusta Chronicle (http://bit.ly/NIEkT1 ) reports that 19-year-old Taylor Durrence was exiting Deans Bridge Road heading southbound when the accident occurred Friday morning. He lost control of the Nissan Frontier pickup when he was exiting the ramp, crossed the Bobby Jones Expressway center median and struck the tractor trailer head on.
Richmond County sheriff's Capt. Scott Gay says the ruptured diesel fuel tank spilled a "significant amount" of fuel.
Deputy Coroner Mark Bowen says Durrence was killed instantaneously and was extricated from his pickup. Durrence was pronounced dead at 10:15 a.m.
The tractor trailer driver was not injured. He was taken to Medical College of Georgia Hospital for evaluation.

Patch use as an indicator of habitat preference, predation risk, and competition

A technique for using patch giving up densities to investigate habitat preferences, predation risk, and interspecific competitive relationships is theoretically analyzed and empirically investigated. Giving up densities, the density of resources within a patch at which an individual ceases foraging, provide considerably more information than simply the amount of resources harvested. The giving up density of a forager, which is behaving optimally, should correspond to a harvest rate that just balances the metabolic costs of foraging, the predation cost of foraging, and the missed opportunity cost of not engaging in alternative activities. In addition, changes in giving up densities in response to climatic factors, predation risk, and missed opportunities can be used to test the model and to examine the consistency of the foragers' behavior. The technique was applied to a community of four Arizonan granivorous rodents (Perognathus amplus, Dipodomys merriami, Ammospermophilus harrisii, and Spermophilus tereticaudus). Aluminum trays filled with 3 grams of millet seeds mixed into 3 liters of sifted soil provided resource patches. The seeds remaining following a night or day of foraging were used to determine the giving up density, and footprints in the sifted sand indicated the identity of the forager. Giving up densities consistently differed in response to forager species, microhabitat (bush versus open), data, and station. The data also provide useful information regarding the relative foraging efficiencies and microhabitat preferences of the coexisting rodent species.

Suppose you have an application running Java web services in Apache Axis 2. Specifically, these are JAX-WS (Java API for XML-Based Web Services). Currently these web services are on the same Windows Server 2008 server that our web site (web application) runs on. Our web application, which is running in IIS using PHP uses Curl (PHP library) to request data using JAX-WS web services. How should we protect these web services from getting called by the general public, so only our web application can only make requests?
You need to block traffic to the port on which your JAX-WS web service is listening from all addresses other than
You need to authenticate the caller somehow in order to differentiate a valid caller from an invalid caller. In JAX-WS you should be using WS-Security for authentication. IBM has a document on using WS-Security with Axis 2 - not sure how up to date it is as I haven't used the framework before.

Recently I've been playing 2009's Wolfenstein, the most recent game in the classic Wolfenstein series. Or no, wait. It's a remake. Or… is it a reboot? Either way, the game is… alright. The game still takes place in World War II and you're still shooting Nazis. The story is like something out of a pulp fiction comic, the pseudo open world mechanic doesn't come off nearly as smoothly as it should, the boss fights are stupid, and the acting is dumb. However, two things game this game worth playing: the explosions, and the weapons. In this article I'm going to detail what exactly about these two aspects made this game so enjoyable.
The explosions in Wolfenstein are as enjoyable as they are because of the game's physics. Clutter is just about everywhere in the game's environments, from crates and barrels to towels and filing cabinets. All of them fly apart into pieces at the slightest hint of an explosion, and there's something almost childishly satisfying about reducing the contents of a room into piles of garbage.
But what are the explosions without the weapons that cause them? Wolfenstein's weapons start out rather vanilla, but eventually you'll start finding experimental Nazi weapons, and with the game's surprisingly fun weapon upgrades, they only get more ridiculous from there. The upgrades actually change the appearance of the weapon, so even the more historically accurate guns start looking like some kind of sci-fi/steampunk powerhouse. For this list, I'll start with the simpler weapons first and work my way up to the best.
Throwable explosions. Grenades are almost always available and are great for blowing things up. These can be upgraded so that you can carry more, and make larger explosions.
This gun is dumb. Every weapon is better than it. You should really only be using the MP40 in the beginning, while on your way to get better, cooler guns. Even then, just screaming at the Nazis would probably do you more good. It is one of the two weapons that can be silenced, which is cool I guess, but there really isn't ever a need to be stealthy.
A better version of the MP40. Look, it even says it in the name! It's three… MPs better than the MP40, I guess. Anyway, once you slap some nice damage and accuracy upgrades on this guy, it's good for running from point to point in the overworld area, or when you run out of ammo on everything else.
Kar 98:
A powerful bolt-action rifle, the Kar 98 kills in about one hit by itself, but once upgraded it can tear off arms, legs, and heads with a single shot. Pretty cool to do that with a tiny WWII relic, if you ask me. This gun is where things start to enter ridiculous territory, especially once you're able to disarm (literally!) two Nazi's with one bullet.
The flamethrower. It throws flames! Kills pretty much anything in one hit, since as soon as an enemy catches fire they flip out and scream until they die. Great for clearing out an entire room in a matter of seconds, if you can't spare an explosion.
For when you absolutely, positively, NEED an explosion right there. It's a rocket launcher, for those of you who haven't seen Saving Private Ryan. Sort of boring compared to the later weapons, but it can become a pretty handy WMD when upgraded.
Particle Cannon:
The first experimental Nazi weapon you find. Do you remember near the end of The Matrix, where they pull out this crazy lightning gun that makes this screechy sound and then blows people across the room? The particle cannon is pretty much that, just with disintegrating eeevil Nazi beams instead of lightning.
Tesla Cannon:
Its a Tesla coil with a handle attached to it, essentially. This gun is about as accurate as electricity spewing from a gun would be, essentially sneezing lightning everywhere as if Zeus lent you his nose during allergy season. With upgrades that include extra prongs of lightning, chain lightning, and a tazer attack that replaces your melee, it's hard not to just lay on the trigger with one hand and continuously fist-pump with the other, whilst laughing manically of course.
Leichenfaust 44 aka The Hadouken Cannon:
This is how you make a gun.
After a brief spin-up, the Leichenfaust fires a giant blue fireball that disintegrates anything in its path before exploding on whatever surface unfortunate enough to stand in its path. Not only does it melt Nazis, reducing them to bloody skeletons. Not only does it make physics objects flee like The Great Destroyer of Tiny Things has come for them. The absolute icing on the Nazi-assembled, dragon punch-resembling cake comes after firing. Once the Leichenfaust fires, its barrels rotate, and then the gun dings.
It DINGS, like a goddamn toaster.
Adding a ding to the end of a weapon's reload – much like Fallout 3's Fat Man – is so satisfying. Every gun should have it.
Throwable Objects:
What could possibly be better than the Leichenfaust, you ask? Well, Wolfenstein's best weapon is more subtle than awesome. Some items found on the ground, like pickaxes, sledgehammers, or even explosive barrels can all be picked up and thrown at unsuspecting (or suspecting, they really have no bias) Nazis. While watching the greatest quarter-circle-forward-P you've ever seen fly across the room and reduce an army into piles of bone is fun, chucking a sledgehammer at a soldier's dome and watching him topple over a railing to his doom beats anything the rest of the game will ever do. Additionally, the way that the player character throws barrels is strangely similar to passing a basketball, prompting me to yell "Yo! Up top!" before shoving 100 pounds of Explodium in his face.
And there you have it. Wolfenstein may not be the most thought-provoking, innovative game to come out in recent years, but it is certainly worth playing just to check out the insane weapons.

Read an Excerpt
Brace Andrews had stood strong against Indians, grizzlies, polecats, wolves, desperadoes, blizzards, and flash floods to protect his claim on Righteous Mountain over the last ten years. It was his mountain. He'd named it, carved a niche out of its thickly forested, rocky skin, and built his cabin--first of sod, dragged up the mountain piece by piece from the prairie below, then of good, strong hardwood--on it. He'd soaked the damned earth with his sweat and blood; paid a pound of flesh for every square inch of his land.
He'd be fucked sideways till Sunday if'n anybody was going to horn in on his claim, no matter who waved government papers in his face, particularly not this pantywaist greenhorn from New York City in his natty coat and spectacles.
Brace had come across the man two, three days ago, pacing off a large section of land at the foot of the eastern side of the mountain. When Brace had asked him what in the blue hell he thought he was doing, the man had gone on and on about his dang piece of paper, saying he had a claim to the land. Brace had shooed him away from the spot twice already, pointing the long barrel of his shotgun, Bessie, at him.
Now the man was back, having found his way up to Brace's cabin, probably following the smoke from Brace's hearth, and Brace was damned tempted to let Bessie do all the talking this time.
He didn't, though, because Brace's ma brought him up right, damn her. He let the stranger prattle on for the better part of a half hour, but now his patience was finally worn as thin as the sheet of vellum the stranger shook at him.
"Listen here, Mister. I told you afore, and I'll tell you one last time--Idon't give a damn what they told you back there in Washington. They don't own this mountain ... I do. There's a whole mess of mountains attached to this one, and a whole country full of prairie. Best if you go and find a different spot and leave this one be, or we're going to have ourselves a serious problem," Brace growled, leveling Bessie at him. He smirked when the man took a step back.
"Mr. Andrews, please, be reasonable! I have a patent from the government of these United States of America which, under the Homestead Act of 1862, gives me the right to one hundred sixty acres of this land, and I intend to claim it!"
Brace sniffed, turned his head, and spat a stream of yellow tobacco juice on the ground, missing the stranger's boots by only a couple of inches. His aim was off. "Not on my mountain, you ain't."
"I'm not trying to prove a homestead on your mountain! My land just happens to butt up against it."
"Oh, and what do you think is gonna happen when I come down off my mountain to hunt buffalo on the prairie? Think I'm gonna worry about skirting around your corn, or wheat fields, or whatever the hell you're fixin' to plant down there? No, sir, that land is part of my mountain, and I aim to keep it that way."
"But I have a patent!" the man said again, shaking a long piece of thin paper in Brace's face as if Brace might've missed it the first hundred times. "I came all the way out here from New York, sold everything I owned to finance the trip. Blistered my ass riding across hundreds of miles of rough prairie with a wagon train, and rode alone the rest of the way here, following the map the government gave me, on a goddamn mule!
"What do you think happens when I finally get here? First, I find out part of the land they granted me is a foothill under a fucking mountain, not the good, fertile, flat farmland they promised me, and now you're telling me you own it all. Well, sir, I won't stand for it. I won't. I'm going to claim this land, and that's that!"
Brace almost chuckled at the way the man's cheeks flared red, his blue eyes snapping fire behind his wire-rim spectacles. Poor sodbuster looked like he was about to have one of them apoplectic fits. "What did you say your name was?"
"Quinn. Gaylord Quinn."
"Well, Quinn, seems to me what we got here is a difference of opinion. I say the land is mine, and you say different. You got a piece of paper to prove your claim, and I got ol' Bessie, here," he said, patting the stock of his shotgun. "Who do you think has the best argument?"
"Surely you wouldn't shoot a man in cold blood!"
Brace leveled a glare at him, "If'n a man pushes me, I push back. Hard."

Lake Lefroy Things to Do Tips by CatherineReichardt
Lake Lefroy Things to Do: 3 reviews and 3 photos

If you're a good photographer - or merely an enthusiastic amateur - then the interplay of light and landscape in the outback can make for stunning photography. Obviously the best times are when the light is oblique in the early morning or late afternoon, as the blazing overhead sun in the middle of the day tends to make images look flat.
I think that the best time to experience the outback is in winter (May-September), when the daytime temperatures are manageable and the nights are crisply frosty. The image in a grove of gum trees was taken on a June morning just after sunrise, when the trees were still shrouded with mist. In this sort of setting with the eerie call of kookaburras punctuating the silence, it's not hard to believe in yowies or bunyips!
Just one word of warning: bear in mind that the colder the weather, the more sluggish the reptiles and the slower their reaction time. So if you're wandering around in the bush, make sure that you have proper footwear and exercise due caution, lest you stumble across a snake that hasn't had time to get out of your way.
(work in progress)
I am reliably informed that Lake Lefroy is one of the best places in the world to 'land sail'. Apparently the size of the lake and the hard, dry, relatively uniform surface make it ideal for land sailing, and the lake even played host to the Pacific Rim Land Sailing Championships in 2006!
Like so many other things, landsailing reputedly owes its origins with the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese, who first propelled wheeled vehicles using sails. Today, under ideal conditions, skilled land sailors can reach speeds of up to 140 kph, which, to my mind, is way too fast to go on a souped up go kart!
There is a Lake Lefroy Land Sailing Club, which organises regular events, including a Sunday get together. Like most Australian sporting events, this doubtless culminates in a BYO barbie ('bring your own BBQ') and is lubricated with large quantities of frosty amber nectar (aka beer)!
For more information, see this link for information on land sailing events at lake Lefroy and access the weblink below for a video:
Lake Lefroy lookout
The Lake Lefroy lookout is an isolated elevated point in an otherwise pancake flat landscape, and offers a rare opportunity to get a panoramic view of one of Western Australia's largest salt lakes.
There are many, many salt lakes in Australia's arid interior, which, for most of the year - or sometimes years on end - are dry, shallow depressions in the landscape which only accumulate water after particularly torrential rain (in this part of the world, usually when the tail end of a cyclone from the north travels inland). Once the storm has passed, the temporary lake becomes progressively smaller as the water evaporates, leaving behind the dissolved salts, which become more and more concentrated with time. This impacts not just on the quality of surface water, but also seeps to the subsurface, and as a result, groundwater in this area has a dissolved salt concentration of anything up to 350,000mg/L of dissolved salts (about seven times as concentrated as sea water) - no wonder there's little in the way of agriculture or human habitation!
What is unusual about Lake Lefroy is its dazzlingly white salt crust (most of the other saline lakes have a brownish crust) ... or at least it was until mining commenced in this area. If you look out from the viewpoint, you can see what appear to be a series of dark islands rising up form the lake surface. Some of these are natural rock outcrops which become temporary 'islands' when the lake floods, but an increasing number are waste rock dumps, generated by the disposal of barren rock generated during the mining process. In order to provide all weather access to the mining areas for heavy vehicles, 'causeways' have also had to be constructed on the lake surface, which etch dark lines across the otherwise white surface.
Like virtually all Outback locations, the best time to visit is in the early morning or late afternoon, when its cooler and the sun is oblique (resulting in better photographic opportunities). If you're here, then it's worth taking some extra time to walk the Red Hill trail, which should take less than an hour: just obey the usual 'slip, slop, slap' rules, particularly if you're visiting in summer ("slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat") and carry some water.

Consumer spending has been increasing steadily in the
all-important Christmas period, according to Paymark data.
Paymark, which processes around three quarters of all
electronic transactions in New Zealand, saw just over $1
billion pass through its network in the seven days between
December 6 and 12.
Spending in the seven days was up 4.1 per cent on the same
dates in 2011, a higher than average annual growth rate for
the year. The busiest shopping day so far this month was
Friday December 7, with just over $164 million going through
the tills.
Paymark's head of sales and marketing Paul Whiston said the
upward bias in growth came at a good time for retailers.
"Preparations for the busiest week of the year are in full
swing, and retailers will be looking to past trends as an
indication of what's to come," Whiston said.
"Based on historical data, we can expect spending through the
Paymark network to rise another 33 per cent by the week
ending December 24," he said in a statement.
Wairarapa (up 7 per cent) experienced the strongest
year-on-year growth during the week ending December 12, South
Canterbury (6.2 per cent) and Canterbury (6 per cent)
continued the post-earthquake recovery and the heavily
populated Auckland/Northland region (4.1 per cent) was again
above the national average.
Spending growth was high at hardware and building supplies
outlets appliance stores and floor covering and furniture
retailers - all outlets loosely tied to the housing market.
Conversely, spending was slightly below year-ago levels
amongst the clothing, apparel and jewellery sectors.
"It would also appear that Christmas celebrations are going
well this year, judging by the spending lift at eating and
drinking establishments across the country," Whiston added.
Spending for the week was up 7 per cent among restaurants,
cafes and bars, and up 9.3 per cent for liquor retailers.

I have an in-house Perl script that is in great need of refactoring. In the interest of not reinventing the wheel, I'm looking to see if an open-source equivalent to it exists, and I'm having trouble finding one.
The script runs as a daemon on all hosts, and allows me to do things like:
- Run ProcessA on Host1.
- On Host2, once ProcessA has finished successfully on Host1, run ProcessB.
- On Host1, once ProcessB has finished successfully on Host2, run ProcessC.
It's not rocket science by any means, but I can't seem to find anything out there that replicates that functionality. RunDeck comes close, but I don't see where that can manage process workflows across different hosts.
Does anyone here have anything that I should look into?

I'm excited to announce the availability of the Microsoft Live Labs Relay Service. Go to http://relay.labs.live.com to read more about it and download the SDK, which includes assemblies and samples that show you how to get started. Also check out http://sts.labs.live.com for information about the Microsoft Live Labs Security Token Service which we're also announcing today.
Note that this is an early technology preview that is still under active development. Because of that we may need to take down the service periodically to make changes. Check back here and at http://relay.labs.live.com for updates and please send us your feedback and questions using the email@example.com alias.
If you've written a connected application before, especially a peer-to-peer application, you've probably run into the problem of how to expose your service to the internet from behind a NAT or firewall. These types of network devices typically make it possible to initiate outbound connections but restrict inbound connections.
In order to enable access to a service that is behind one of these network devices, developers often end up writing complex logic to establish connectivity regardless of the network topology. The Relay Service is designed to help with this problem. It acts as an endpoint in the sky that can receive messages and forward then down an existing connection to your service.
Once you install the Relay SDK you'll find that you have a folder with a set of samples that show how to use the Relay Service. If you've written an application that uses the Windows Communication Foundation before these samples should look pretty straightforward. Make sure you go to http://sts.labs.live.com and register an InfoCard before you try any of the samples.
The Relay SDK includes a new RelayBinding which functions much like the WSHttpBinding that is included with the Windows Communication Foundation. Simply update your service to include an endpoint that uses the RelayBinding and give it a unique address at the Relay Service (the samples illustrate how to do this). You'll also need to update your client application to use the RelayBinding. When you open your service the RelayBinding establishes an outbound connection to the Relay Service at the address you defined. From that point on any messages sent to that address are forwarded down the existing connection to your service.
The great thing about this model is that the RelayBinding essentially acts like any other channel-type in the Windows Communication Foundation and it can be enabled with nothing but a change in your application config. The RelayBinding also allows you to turn on support for end-to-end WS-ReliableMessaging and WS-Security. There are samples in the SDK that illustrate how to do this.

The other members of the Relay Service team are Dennis Pilarinos and Mike Vernal. The members of the Security Token Service team are Hervey Wilson and Vijay Gajjala. Other folks who worked on both services include David Rothenberg, Ami Vora and John Shewchuk.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
Today, I want to tell you about the life one of Chillicothe's Finest, he was arguably one of our city's most influential people in the last century: Chief Maurice M. Dorney. It was about 1900, and the story is told that Mayor T. Hoge chanced upon a local barber (likely his own) on Locust Street in Chillicothe and abruptly asked "Would you like to be a policeman?" Taken aback, Mr. Dorney said he would consider it, but needed some time before he could provide an answer.
Know this, Chillicothe did not have a city police until 1899. In that day, there was not a well-established "Policeman's Handbook of Conduct" for this newly-emergent profession. So it required courage, extraordinary vision, and a desire to serve for Mr. Dorney to make what seemed to be a drastic career change. He took a risk by moving from an established, respected profession to one that was yet to be defined.
After all, Maurice was a thirty-four year old bachelor that would be considered past middle age in that day. Consider than in 1900, the average life expectancy of a male(from birth) in the U.S. was only 46 years . But history records that Chief Dorney would proudly serve our city for nearly five decades; he would marry Miss Wilhelmina (Minnie) Schneider in 1915 and they would raise one son and four daughters. Many of Maurice and Minnie's descendants reside in Chillicothe today. You know who you are and I hesitate to mention family names in this account for fear of missing any of you.
My hope is that I can provide due credit to a great man and the legacy he left in this brief account. Maurice Dorney was a difference maker. He set the standard. He was a pioneer in his field. He was instrumental in "writing the policeman's handbook" both figuratively and literally for our city. Then over his long and storied career, he no doubt influenced other police departments near and far about the "right way" to serve as a law enforcement officer. In short, Chief Maurice Dorney left our city, county, state, and country a better place.
So, back to our story. After due consideration, Maurice Dorney made a decision that would change his life and our town for generations. He responded to Mayor Hoge's question by saying yes, he wanted the job. So he was appointed by the mayor to be a patrolman. When the position of Chillicothe Chief of Police became an elected position in 1901, he ran for the office as a Democrat and won. He became "The Chief", and would remain so for the next 47 years. He was elected to this 2 year term position (without Republican opposition) 23 additional times until his passing in 1948, at age 81. This singular achievement was noted in a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" article shortly after he passed.
With lesser men, a half century of being "The Chief" might not have been good for a town such ours. Chief Dorney was held in high respect by our citizens. He was a man of integrity and firm religious conviction. He loved his fellow man and generous to the needy. He was an advocate for the downtrodden and those unable to defend themselves. Chief Dorney was resolute in upholding the law and feared by the lawless. He provided a constant presence and face to law enforcement in our city that set the standard for the first half of the twentieth century. The job he did was noted by many levels of government and the private sector. Over the years, we know that Chief Dorney turned down many lucrative positions from railroad security companies and the like. He wished to remain here, serving us.
Let me digress and sketch Maurice Dorney's journey up to that seemingly "off the wall" question from Mayor Hoge on Locust street in 1900. Maurice M. Dorney was born to Edward and Ellen Dorney in 1866 in Livingston County, Missouri near "The Fork" of the Thompson and Grand Rivers north of Utica on rented property. The Dorneys had recently moved into our area from Ohio and would have eight children in all. They were strong in the Catholic faith, pillars of the community, and of good Irish stock. Soon after Maurice's birth, the family moved to what would become the family home place in Blue Mound Township, about six miles south of Chillicothe.
After schooling and working on the family farm, upon reaching the age of 21, Maurice sojourned with a brother on the Colorado frontier for about two years. Upon return to Livingston County, he barbered in nearby Dawn for five years and then owned and operated a barber shop in Chillicothe for another seven years. In that day, a barbershop was a place where a man could get a shave, a haircut, possibly a shoeshine, and most certainly hear and tell stories. I am conjecturing that many were told by Maurice of his Colorado days.
It seems that during his Colorado adventure, young Maurice became good friends with a Bigger-Than-Life Buffalo Hunter, Indian Scout, Pinkerton Agent, Gambler, and Sheriff: one Canadian-born, William Barclay "Bat" Masterson. We know that Bat provided Maurice with some common sense advice on law enforcement (primarily based upon Bat's Pinkerton Agency experience.) It made a strong, positive impression upon Maurice; he specifically mentioned this advice in his latter years as being to key to his success in the law enforcement field. Bat's advice was: "Young man, there are some things an officer can't stop: gambling, wild women, and drinking whisky. You can't reform these but you can keep them in check."
I have believe that many of Bat Masterson's life stories and law enforcement philosophy were shared by Maurice for the enjoyment of his Dawn and Chillicothe customers. Possibly mentioned were: towns like Kansas City, Dodge City, and Tombstone; groups like the Buffalo Hunters, the Kiowa Indian Scouts, the Mike Roark Gang, and the Pinkerton Agency; individuals like Chief Quanah Parker, Wyatt Earp, Kit Carson, Soapy Smith, and Luke Short. Possibly shared by Bat to Maurice and in later times to his customers were stories like the incredible shot (admittedly lucky) made by Bat Masterson's fellow Buffalo Hunter Billy Dixon that effectively ended the Second Battle of Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle. Apparently using a Sharpie Buffalo gun, Dixon dropped a Comanche warrior on horseback standing on a high bluff from a position a nearly a mile away. Demoralized, the Comanches vacated the area soon after. I would have liked to have been the proverbial "fly on the wall" to hear the many stories told in barbershops of that time.
So, it is my belief that Mayor Hoge's question to a local barber about a new direction in his life was insightful and well directed. It was not "off the wall" at all. To his credit, our mayor had wisely asked the right man, at the right time, about a new, important job that needed to be done, the right way.
I close with story from a fellow policeman about Chief Dorney and the manner he conducted business and made us a better place. Sometime back, I acquired a video tape made in 1982 Chillicothe by a family member for possible use as a documentary in that day. The tape included several interviews with people back then. The most intriguing story for me was an interview with a retired gentleman by the name of Cecil Campbell. Cecil was talking about his days on the police force from the late 30's to the mid 40's. In Q & A format, it when down something like this:
Q: Cecil, tell me...were the any big time criminal types that came around here back in those days?
A: Cecil chuckles and smiles… nope, we didn't see much of those types around here.
Q: Cecil, tell me… were there any incidents you recall, involving those types?
A: Cecil, after a pause… "Well, yeah I remember one time we heard that these two guys robbed a bank in K.C. and got away with a lot of money, and we heard they could be headed his way. Then after a while, we got word that they were down at the "Y" getting gas and something to eat…" Cecil then had a big triumphant smile and chuckled once again..."Well, Chief and old Tom Dawkins went down there... and took'em... got the money back too! "
I realized then that we needed to once again recognize a man that made a difference. Lest we forget.

I work full-time as a graphic designer and illustrator in Manchester, UK. Whilst I love my job I'd also like to see more of the world (hence my joining Airbnb!). I enjoy seeing the sites when I go away, and i'm definitely more into city breaks than lying on the beach burning :)
I enjoy all things creative and would spend my time away seeing live music, watching films and plays, going to galleries and checking out creative events.

I obviously won't get too crazy and say Crabtree's upside is in Megatron/AJ Green/Julio Jones land, but I think he's still on the upswing and settling into a developing offense and a new QB situation. I really think he can stake his claim as a clear-cut Top 5-10 WR next year (or maybe over the next month!).
Just wanted to throw some numbers behind the idea that he has emphatically shaken the BUST label. When you take a WR in the first half of round 1, you're obviously hoping for a true #1 WR who is among the best in the league... which is exactly what we got!

BRUSSELS A system that made patent registration up to 60 times more expensive in Europe than in China is being scrapped in favour of a one-size-fits-all pan-European process, EU officials said on Monday.
Signing off on a plan first considered in 1973, 25 of the EU's 27 industry ministers - apart from Spain and Italy - agreed to allow inventors to register their idea with one EU agency.
The old system makes the process 18 times more expensive than in the United States and 60 times more than in China. Under the previous system, patents had to be registered separately in individual EU countries - up to 27 times to cover the whole EU.
"Discussions have been under way for more than 30 years and this decision will help to revive the European economy," said Neoklis Sylikiotis, Cyprus's industry minister who chaired the meeting and whose country holds the rotating EU presidency.
Rome and Madrid are challenging the right to proceed at the EU Court of Justice (ECJ), saying the new patent system does not give due recognition to their languages.
A top adviser to Europe's highest court is scheduled to give an opinion on Italy's and Spain's legal challenge on Tuesday and judges in the court will make a ruling in the next few months.
"This is a historic decision that enhances Europe's competitiveness," EU Financial Services Chief Michel Barnier, who attended the meeting of ministers, told a news conference. "The door is open for Italy and Spain to join."
The European Parliament is expected to approve the single patent system on Tuesday in Strasbourg. If the ECJ rejects Rome's and Madrid's case, the patent can come into force on January 1, 2014.
An EU patent, which will still cost more than double the U.S. level at about 5,000 euros on average, will not revolutionise innovation in Europe overnight.
But the reform is good for business at a time when Americans obtained four times as many patents as Europeans did in 2011.
Patents, which grant the exclusive legal right to develop and exploit an idea for a limited period of time, are seen as central to encouraging innovation by ensuring that innovators can properly benefit from their efforts.
U.S. companies were far ahead of Europe and Japan in terms of innovation in 2012, according to a Thomson Reuters study that named 47 U.S. companies in its list of the world's top 100 innovators, based on the number of patents registered, their success, international impact and level of ideas.
An EU patent was first created in 1973 in Munich, but the agreement never entered into force, according to the Parliament.
While EU countries have long agreed over the benefits of a unitary patent, Germany, France and Britain disputed who should host the court that will adjudicate in patent disputes.
The EU's public debt and banking crisis and a stagnant economy that pushed unemployment levels to 26 million people in October helped overcome those divisions, as EU leaders search for growth at a time of sharp spending cuts.
At a summit in June, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed to split the court between three centres - Munich, Paris and London, depending on the type of patent.
Under the compromise, the court's headquarters will be in Paris, with some functions in London and Munich.
Anyone seeking to challenge an infringement of their patent in life sciences, for example, will do so in London. Cases concerning engineering and physics will be dealt with in Munich.

John McCain's the Least-Popular Senator in the Country, Poll Finds
No U.S. Senator gets worse reviews from his constituents than Senator John McCain, according to poll results.
About 30 percent of the Arizonans polled by Public Policy Polling said they approve of McCain's job performance, whereas 54 percent said they disapprove.
Republicans, Democrats, and independents agreed on this one -- more then 50 percent from each affiliation said they disapprove of McCain's performance. That's not particularly surprising, since the state Republican Party formally "censured" McCain earlier this year.
Arizona's no stranger to having the least-popular senator in the country.

Around this time last year, Public Policy Polling released a poll that named Senator Jeff Flake the most unpopular senator in the country.
Flake's net approval rating then was -19, whereas he's now at -20, and McCain's at -24.
McCain's not up for re-election until 2016, but PPP asked voters a few questions about hypothetical match-ups for that race.
"George McGovern lost his Senate seat 8 years after losing his Presidential bid and McCain could suffer a similar fate," PPP president Dean Debnam says explains in the poll release.
Although about 20 to 25 percent of the people stayed undecided on the hypothetical senate match-ups with McCain, the pollsters found that Richard Carmona, the 2012 runner-up to Flake, and former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, would be ahead of McCain.
The other hypothetical senate candidate they tested against McCain didn't do so well. Former Arizona Governor and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano came behind McCain, 44 percent to 36 percent.
According to McCain spokesman Brian Rodgers, "This poll was conducted by a firm with well-known ties to the Democratic Party. Its results are strongly contradicted by recent public and private polling, and Senator McCain is confident that he's earned the respect and confidence of the people of Arizona."
(See Exhibit A and Exhibit B on PPP's recent polling accuracy.)
Some other findings from the poll:
- Hillary Clinton was tied or ahead of Republicans in Arizona in five hypothetical match-ups for the 2016 presidential race.
- Raising the minimum wage to $10 per hour was supported by 53 percent of people.
- Forty-four percent of people said they still support SB 1070, compared to 36 percent who oppose it.
- A solid majority (67 percent) support the state's medical-marijuana program.
- Marijuana legalization is within the margin of error -- 46 percent support it, and 48 percent oppose it.
- Half of Arizonans say the Diamondbacks are their favorite MLB team.
- Thirty-four percent of people say they're ASU fans, and 31 percent say they're UA fans.

Overall Experience:
So far it is going great. The teachers know the students by name, The classroom sizes make it easy to get that extra attention needed to excel. The classroom hours make it so much more easier to work a full-time job and be able to attend school as well. I believe i made a positive and very effective choice, when choosing the school to pursue a career in Computer Designing.
Career Services:
The quality of post-grad services are great. The associates working in each of the services are always available to assist with any needs or concerns. The size of the school, which is about 12 students per teacher, makes it even easier because there is never a line or waiting list to see any of the representatives. I woud recommend this Institute for anyone that is looking to get into a career with one of the majors they offer. You get your moneys worth at this college.
Campus Resources:
ITT provides alot of computers with internet access throughout the day and evening,
Campus Resources:
the teachers at ITT are very helpful. Every problem I had was taking care of immediately
Academic Flexibility:
ITT Tech - Where Knowledge Is Spread and Intellegence Is Recognised – ITT Tech has been great to me since I've been going there. Their class sizes are smaller, which in-tells an environment where the instructor has the opportunity to be one on one with a student. The instructor's are compassionate and don't just look at you as "just a number".
Overall Experience:
Worse Experience of My Life!!! This school tricked me into signing up for private loans with interest rates of 11-16%. If they would have explained what they were doing or how much my payments would be, I would have never went to the school. I went for Multi Media which was the first year they offered it. They didn't have the proper programs or computers. The textbooks were a joke, written especially for the school.Most of the teachers were of another ethnicity and had very hard accents to understand. It would take the first 2 weeks of every class to become used to the accents and understand them properly. I had teachers that QUIT right in the middle of teaching the class. For my one math class I had 3 different teachers. Some of the teachers liked to yap on their phone or text throughout the class as well. Sure there were several good teachers that taught properly, but it was a waste of money. This school and ALL ITTs trick unknowing students into horrible financing and poor quality schooling. I learned more for multi media before I even attended the school. I had to go back for a real degree and pay another school so that I could be properly educated.Most importantly DO NOT SIGN A LOAN WITH SALLIE MAE!!! My 40,000 loan has now ballooned into 70,000 with interest! They want me to pay $866/mo and I don't have that. Who does? That's rent..or a mortgage. I wouldn't mind paying for something that was worth the money, and that I wasn't tricked into...but not this.
Student Body:
Very Open Minded – pretty much the students at this school are open to just about anything
Campus Resources:
Love This School – Just wish it wasnt so far from my house. They should have one in center city
Academic Flexibility:
Very Flexible – This schoo is very flxible with your life outside of school.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I think that the school is very exspensive and very far in distance and that being said they should create a cafeteria.
Campus Resources:
The computers at our school are good its the printing that we been having issues with. We have a hard ttime printing in the main lab.

Course Specific Events and Projects
Psychology students present their research findings on a broad range of social issues
A group of twenty-one Keystone students completed research into some of today's pressing social issues and presented the results to the campus community at an interactive poster fair. Students used social psychology principles to identify solutions to a broad range of current issues including cyber bullying, cults, sexual violence, substance abuse recovery, and obesity.
Conceived and coordinated by Assistant Professor Dr. Kristel Gallagher, the poster presentation was the culminating project for the social psychology course and the first of its kind at Keystone. Dr. Gallagher notes that "the fair will be repeated in the future to spread the message of the unique applicability of psychology in the real world."
This class project was an example of one of the many ways in which Keystone faculty integrate hands-on and real world learning into the curriculum. The presentations offered a thought-provoking perspective about the root causes of some social issues, as well as possible ways in which we can all be part of the solution to address many of the problems that impact our society.
