In 1991, Congress passed the Jeanne Clery Act, a federal law that requires all colleges in the United States to accurately and effectively collect and disclose reports of sexual crimes that occur on their campuses and help end sexual violence on college campuses. Today, as college activists work to hold their administrations accountable for their sexual assault policies, the Clery Act is one of the federal requirements that allows them to demand change. But not every campus is required to follow it.
Two institutions that do not comply with the Clery Act are Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and Patrick Henry College (PHC). The colleges are two of 65 candidates and members of TRACS, the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. And like many other colleges across the country, these institutions have been accused of mishandling rape cases.
Pensacola Christian College came under serious scrutiny after former student Samantha Field published the events of how PCC responded to her when she tried to seek counseling after a sexual assault. At one point, she was told by one of the five guidance counselors PCC has on staff to forgive her assailant because "bitterness will take seed and that bitterness will be so much worse than anything he could have done."
At Patrick Henry College, a student tried to go to the office of Dean of Student Life to report harassment from a male classmate who had sent her an email that stated he "wanted to forcibly take her virginity." As reported in the New Republic, the student was told that "the choices you make and the people you choose to associate with, the way you try to portray yourself, will affect how people treat you" and that she should "think about her clothing and 'the kinds of ideas it puts in men's minds.'"
College administrators at PCC and Patrick Henry have denied the students' claims. But the alleged reactions of both institutions are classic examples of victim-blaming, and are indicative of the continuing rape culture epidemic that is exposing itself in colleges throughout the United States. The toxicity of rape culture extends extends even farther than victim blaming and reducing the agency of an individual. In some cases it has young women convinced that sexual harassment and violence are normal behaviors, which discourages so many from reporting these crimes.
Although student activism has been a driving force in seeking to address rape culture at universities, this activism is yet to be seen at Pensacola Christian College or Patrick Henry. When your student handbook cites Ephesians 5:22, which reads, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church," it is not difficult to see how these college may view a woman's autonomy. In fact, as one student told the New Republic, "Patrick Henry girls who are too loud, too eager for leadership roles, too political — no matter how appropriately they dress — are always kept at arm's length. Boys refer to them as the 'red leather stiletto girls' or 'political animals,' and all but declare them unmarriageable."
That right-wing environment may explain why students aren't pushing for change. But why aren't these colleges required to follow federal law in the first place?
A spokesperson for the Pensacola Christian College, Amy Glenn, told Think Progress that "though Pensacola Christian College applies [the] best practices in student services and care, we are not mandated under Clery Act and Title IX" because the school does not take federal funding. Patrick Henry College also maintains that it does not have to comply with the Clery Act for this reason, although a spokesperson from Patrick Henry was not available to answer Think Progress's follow-up questions on the subject.
Abigail Boyer, a spokesperson from the Clery Center For Security on Campus, confirmed this exemption, explaining that all "public and private postsecondary institutions that participate in federal Title IV student financial assistance programs must comply with the Clery Act." Title IV funding is any form of federal student aid, like Pell Grants or the Veteran's GI Bill. The financial aid pages of both PCC and PHC state that they do not accept federal forms of financial aid in order to uphold their Christian values. The financial aid websites do not disclose that these sources of federal aid are from Title IV and, therefore, that this position exempts them from the Clery Act.
This could be a miscommunication between the schools and their accreditation and oversight agency, the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. The president of TRACS, Dr. T. Paul Boatner, told ThinkProgress that "anything that is required by the federal government" is required of his member institutions, which includes abiding by all "standards set to federal regulations" like the federal regulation known as the Jeanne Clery Act.
Other TRACS institutes have worked to improve their sexual assault policies in recent years. For example, Bob Jones University (BJU) — which accepts Title IV funding, unlike PCC and PHC, and therefore complies with the Clery Act — self-initiated an internal investigation with GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) to make sure the institution was correctly complying with every aspect of the law. Now, Bob Jones University's website features a page that details all available resources for students that have to report a sexual assault in compliance with the Clery Act. These resources are available in part due to a partnership with MinistrySafe, an organization that assists ministries and religious colleges in ensuring a safe environment and helps educates students and faculty about the issues regarding sexual violence.
While it is still legal for schools like Pensacola Christian and Patrick Henry to not comply with the Clery Act, the improvements made at Bob Jones University suggest that it is possible to maintain a Christian message while following federal regulations. And it would appear that leaving the address of sexual assault and rape to their own "best practices", as PCC Spokesperson Amy Glenn put it, may not be the most effective course of action.
This original version of this article incorrectly stated that Bob Jones launched an investigation because the university was found to be in violation of the Clery Act. In reality, the university was already in compliance. ThinkProgress regrets the error.

There you are lying in bed. And there she is, lying next to you. You just finished having sex with a girl you've been dating (or you've just met), and your mind is filling with these questions:
Did she come? Did she enjoy it? Was I good? Did I hold out long enough? Does she want to do this again? Does she expect me to cuddle her? Should I get up? Should I go to the bathroom? Should I leave?
Or, (if she's at your place) does she want to leave?
When you first start having sex with a new woman, you really want to avoid awkward moments after sex because, well, it's awkward. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. You just don't know this person very well. Maybe you've known her for a day, a week or a month.
But time doesn't make any difference because when you start having sex with somebody, it's going to be awkward. You don't even know each other.
Even if you're experienced with other people, you don't really know what to do, you don't know what she likes and you certainly don't know if she was satisfied. You can't pick up on all the intimate signals yet.
Now, the worst thing to do after sex is to look at a woman when it's over and ask, "Did you come?" That makes her feel like you're not in tune with her at all, and she wants to be in tune with you not only sexually but also emotionally and mentally.
If you are about to become a father for the first time, this is what you need to know before you get into the overwhelming experience of child birth.
Be prepared
Nobody warns you, but the average labor for first time mothers lasts from 15 to 16 hours.
You could spend that time reading hospital pamphlets about dilations and middle ear problems, or you could dip into your carefully packed bag games and other light distractions.
You will be amazed at how a simple game can
Long distance relationships can be tiring and actually stressful but when the one you love is miles away, you have no option but accept the situation.
It requires a lot of commitment, trust and communication to make it work. Studies show that the majority of people involved in long distance relationships eventually breakup.
But with determination the two of you can make it work.
Make sure the both of you bridge the gap of proximity through the different types of communication. The internet is the commonest means of communication that most couples in long distance relationships use.
Send each other emails every day, tell each other how your day was and how much you miss each other, it makes a difference. You also take advantage of the free or cheaper Internet services like Skype where you can video chat with your loved one .
This will help you feel closer even though you're so far away from each other.

The Penfield, a city-developed downtown St. Paul luxury apartment project that nearly bowed several times to market and recessionary pressures, formally opened Thursday with smiles and undisguised relief all around.
No one wore bigger grins than Mayor Chris Coleman, City Council Member Dave Thune and Cecile Bedor, the city's planning and economic development director, who decided to have the city take over the troubled project despite grumbling from private developers and concerns that St. Paul was putting too many development eggs in one basket.
They cut the ribbon Thursday on the $62 million project, which includes 254 market-rate apartment units and an urban style Lunds grocery store that will open May 15.
The project is one of three opening in the next year that Coleman is counting on — the others are the light-rail Green Line and the St. Paul Saints ballpark — to recharge St. Paul's downtown core.
"St. Paul is back, folks," Coleman told a crowd gathered in the building's lobby. "Today we celebrate a huge milestone in the movement back to a thriving, exciting downtown."
Along with other market-rate apartment projects such as the Pioneer Endicott and Custom House redevelopments, the Penfield is expected to boost downtown's residential population of 8,100 and add an amenity — an extensive full-service grocery — that urban planners say is vital to a growing downtown.
Lunds manager Mike MacRae said the store, to front E. 10th and Robert Streets, will employ 75 people. "We're excited to be part of the renewed vitality in downtown St. Paul," he said.
Tours of the seven-story building, a contemporary structure wrapped on one side with the classic facade of the city's old police headquarters, showcased a clubroom, a fitness center and an outdoor courtyard that includes a pool and dog walk. Rents for two expensively-finished model apartments range from $1,390 to $2,095 per month.
Some private developers and rental property owners weren't thrilled about competing with a market-rate project receiving tax dollars. But Clint Blaiser, a property management executive who partnered with Rich Pakonen on the Pioneer Endicott project, said that the Penfield and Lunds will help downtown flourish.
"People have been asking for a grocery store for years," Blaiser said. "The more people we get downtown, the more retail, it's a win-win for everybody."
It wasn't easy. Bedor said the Penfield was marked with "lots of fits and starts … It was a really tough project."
When planning for the Penfield began in 2005, it was to be a 40-story condo tower developed privately with city subsidies. The cost: $131 million.
But then the condo market crashed, and the project was scaled back to an $88 million, 33-story hotel and apartment development. Eventually the city's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), convinced that the project could spur other downtown housing as light-rail transit arrived, decided to use federal financing to turn it into a project with market-rate apartments and a Lunds store.
Most of the funding came from a $41 million federally insured loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and $19 million from tax-increment financing and the city's HRA.
The city has hired Village Green, a Michigan-based developer, to manage the property. The two-year contract will pay Village Green up to 3.25 percent of total gross monthly receipts, including incentives.
Bedor said that city officials aren't looking to sell the building to a private company. But neither do they see the Penfield as a template for future city activity in the development realm, she said.
"We are not housing developers. That is not our business. We did this for a specific reason," she said.
Renters began moving into the Penfield a couple of months ago. As of Thursday, 51 units had been leased, or one-fifth of the building's apartments.
Thune, chairman of the city's HRA board when it voted to take over the project, said his cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
"We feel totally vindicated … It's a huge, huge achievement," he said. "Now I want to get a movie theater downtown."

At present, millions of people are suffering from diabetes problem. Leading a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercises is the best way recommended for preventing the risk of diabetes. Nullifying the causes plays a significant role here. Treatments are usually suggested by evaluating the actual cause.
Poor diet is one among the main causes responsible for the formation of diabetes. Food sources like oily food, sugary cakes, chocolates and caffeinated products are some main culprits of good health causing diabetes risks. Patients are advised to restrict the intake of alcohol, which is a fine example of simple carbohydrate product. In today's busy lifestyle, diabetes due to improper nutrition is a commonly found problem.

Joel Strong runs one of the most popular celebrity Instagram accounts — but he never actually shoots any of his famous subjects.
Instead, Strong creates bizarre scenes with well-known faces all over New York City by holding photo cutouts of celebrities' heads in front of other people's bodies.
And with photos of Twiggy grocery shopping and Beyoncé riding a motorized wheelchair, nearly every post on his Instagram account is sure to make you look twice.
The New York-based visual artist uses strangers, friends, and even people he meets on Tinder for the photos.
The account, called mydaywithleo, is a huge hit on Instagram, where Strong's attracted 156,000 followers. He also earned a place on the Rolling Stone's list of the 100 best Instagram accounts.
He's also been hired by a number of marketing campaigns and is quietly building quite a brand and business for himself.
The project began as just an inside joke with his girlfriend and a cut-out of Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, he's featured celebrity faces from Kylie Jenner to Kim Jung-un, and some celebrities are starting to take notice.

Who knew? Liberal interpretation of scripture does not result in a growth of church attendance!
In the spirit of honesty, most mainline denominations with the US are experiencing a decline in church attendance regardless of whether they define themselves as liberal, emergent, welcoming, conservative, or whatever. Mainline denominations are simply playing a smaller role within increasingly busy lives. But despite reports in the media to the contrary, the majority of Americans still identify themselves as religious according to the Pew Forum Religious Landscape Survey.
But the drop-off of attendance is certainly being felt most strongly in liberal denominations. Why? The commentary answers this question as follows:
But if liberals need to come to terms with these failures, religious conservatives should not be smug about them. The defining idea of liberal Christianity — that faith should spur social reform as well as personal conversion — has been an immensely positive force in our national life. No one should wish for its extinction, or for a world where Christianity becomes the exclusive property of the political right.
What should be wished for, instead, is that liberal Christianity recovers a religious reason for its own existence.
Pushing a liberal political view is apparently insufficient reason for existence of a church. I agree. Pushing a conservative political view is equally insufficient. People have this strange idea that the focus should be on God. Note also the subtle bias of that commentary. Since liberal Christianity aligns with liberal political views, it must be preserved. And the opposite is also therefore implied. Conservative Christian views which do not align with liberal political views do not deserve to be preserved. Ultimately, if God cannot be aligned with liberal political views, well it follows God does not deserve be preserved.
I think that is challenge of liberal Christianity. Whenever God and liberal views collide, liberals demand God must yield.
Liberal Christian churches, more often than not, are not about glorifying God but instead using God to glorify their agenda. Certainly not all liberal churches fall into this trap. But when a church focuses on equality and social justice more than the Bible, that focus is a warning sign. Like churches promoting the Prosperity Gospel, liberal Christianity churches tend to use the Bible as a prop to support their views rather than use it inform their congregation about God's plan and purpose for us. Liberal Churches often quote the Sermon on the Mount and other selected verses that support their views while disregarding the rest. But ask yourself this question. Did Jesus advocate a top down government driven solution to the challenges of poverty and injustice? Or did He encourage individuals to make a change within themselves to walk humbly, show mercy, and glorify God?

What I believe
I am convinced that I am saved solely by the grace of God given to men through Jesus Christ and that, as such, my life is to be defined by his Word. It is my ambition that everything I do would reflect His glory and point people towards the Gospel.
What I do
I am a professional geek. I collect programming languages like some people collect stamps on their passports, although I generally have more fun with interpreted languages than compiled ones. I am among the minority that actually like perl regular expressions. I am a general lover of Linux and a frequent contributor to open source software. I transitioned to programming from other work because I was too busy automating my own work environment to actually do the other work. I have a hobby interest in cartography.
How to contact me
The best way to reach me is by email, but I have active phone numbers in both the US (+1 970 325 3030) and Turkey (+90 506 907 82 06). To connect for free from the US click here.
My Google+ profile has other contact details. I am sometimes reachable online through instant messaging using jabber, skype, aim, yahoo, msn or icq.
Even more Caleb
In the early days of social media I was reluctant to follow the crowd. That was a loosing battle! Now I try to use each network only in the capacity that seems to suit the medium and my fancy best, however the resulting hodge podge still might be hard for someone unfamiliar with my life to unravel so here is the lay of the land as I see it: My latest pictures are always found on flickr. Everything I find interesting is publically bookmarked on pinboard. You can follow my random thoughts on twitter. Google+ just ate my life, find what's left of me there. If you still think walled gardens are the way of the future, friend me on facebook.
In less exciting news, a lot of my old content from this site is lying around in a truely disorganized Wiki. Other dated profiles can be found on LiveJournal, Xanga, and MySpace.

A bill the House passed last week to make it easier for companies to raise money could also make it easier for companies to cheat investors, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission says.
It's called the Jobs Act — an acronym for "Jumpstart Our Business Startups" — and lawmakers of both parties have promoted it as a way to boost a weak economy. But regulators and investor advocates have argued that it could expose investors to fraud...
Currently, companies seeking to go public must make elaborate disclosures about their finances and operations. The SEC vets those filings before authorizing an initial public offering. Major technology companies have chafed at the requirements and have sought to postpone the day when they must file regulated disclosures.
Under the bill, investment banks that underwrite stock offerings could publish research reports before the IPOs, offering investors information that would compete with the regulated disclosures required by the SEC, Schapiro said...
The Jobs Act would lower regulatory hurdles for "emerging growth companies" trying to raise money through public stock offerings. But Schapiro said that the definition of emerging growth companies — those with up to $1 billion in annual revenue — "is so broad that it would eliminate important protections for investors in even very large companies."
In the aftermath of accounting scandals at firms such as Enron and WorldCom, public companies have been generally required to allow audits of their internal controls. Businesses have protested that the audits are burdensome, and the Jobs Act would carve out new exemptions for emerging growth companies. Schapiro said the exemption was unwarranted.
The bill would also allow companies to raise up to $2 million through "crowd funding" — using social media to raise small amounts of money from a large number of investors without filing the standard disclosures. Schapiro said in her letter that the crowd-funding provision "needs additional safeguards."...
The Jobs Act passed the House with wide bipartisan support — 390 to 23 — and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) has said the Senate will try to pass similar legislation quickly.
Last week, the White House encouraged Congress to send a bill to the president's desk without delay.On Wednesday, the White House said it supported efforts "to ensure that there are sufficient safeguards to prevent abuse." Proponents say the bill would help companies hire workers and expand. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) said the changes "will unleash the entrepreneurial spirit."
In a statement Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) all but dared Democrats to stand in the way of the bill. Doing so, he said, would send a message "that they're just not serious when they say they're focused on jobs."
But critics, such as state securities regulators, say any benefits from the legislation would come at a steep price. "While well intentioned, the JOBS Act . . . sacrifices essential investor protections without offering any prospects for meaningful, sustainable job growth," Jack E. Herstein, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, said in a statement last week.

A research community
We warmly encourage our students to organise activities for the CECS community. CECS MA and PhD students have run highly successful conferences, sent panels to international conferences, and have established a very popular Postgraduate Forum which provides them with valuable peer support for their research.
In the 20 years since its foundation the Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies has come to be recognised as a leading centre in the English-speaking world for interdisciplinary research in the eighteenth century.
The Centre was founded in 1997, and in 1998 moved into its present home - a group of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century rooms in the historic King's Manor, in the centre of the city of York. It has 21 permanent members of staff and some 30-40 affiliated PhD students, and runs a flourishing MA programme with a wide range of optional courses.
Its research seminars, held five or six times a term, attract visiting speakers from Europe and North America as well as from Britain, as do its frequent international conferences and one-day symposia.
At the University of York
Almost all the major online databases for research into the 18th and early 19th centuries - including ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online), the British Periodicals Collection, the 19th-century British Library Newspaper Collection and the 17th- 18th-centuries Burney Newspaper Collection - are available at all workstations in the University. All students have access to the extensive resources of libraries on the Heslington Campus, including special collections of rare books, the comprehensive collection of more than 12,000 reels of microfilmed 18th-century books and ephemera, and the unique and extensive archival resources of the Borthwick Instutute of Historical Research. The King's Manor Library has a large collection of 18th-century resources, including microfilm collections of prints, images, periodicals and newspapers.
Outside the University
The King's Manor is next door to the York City Art Gallery and York City Archives, and a few minutes from the major 18th-century collections at York Minster Library. York's excellent resources are backed up by the presence, only a dozen miles away, of the British Library at Boston Spa, easily accessible using the University's free minibus service.
York 800 Video of History of York
The city of York is a stimulating environment for the study of the eighteenth century; it contains a wealth of Georgian architecture, including buildings by Carr and Burlington. The King's Manor is close to the York Assembly Rooms, designed and erected by Lord Burlington, 1730-1735, now open to the public. York has a flourishing Georgian Society which runs a large programme of events, and a Georgian museum at Fairfax House which stages frequent exhibitions of everyday life in eighteenth-century England. From York, there is easy access to the great eighteenth-century houses and landscape gardens of Yorkshire, including Castle Howard, Harewood House, and Burton Constable.

World of Warships First Impressions
TBD Overall Score
Relatively unique in its gameplay, particularly the slow and methodical pace. Great graphics from top to bottom
The pace is simply not going to appeal to a lot of players and will be way too slow. A lack of in game help or pop-ups makes navigating the different pages a little confusing currently.
Yesterday we got the chance to try out World of Warships from Wargaming, the World War II strategy/tactical shooter where players take control of a variety of battleships in a fight for the high seas. Having played the game briefly at GamesCom in August with a member of the Wargaming team at our side telling us the controls and what we needed to do, it was interesting to see when left to our own devices whether we'd sink or swim. The game enters Closed Beta testing today, but already from our time in game we can tell that it really feels like the Wargaming team have a very complete product.
Stepping into the game we were greeted with a rather unfamiliar sight, having never really played either World of Tanks or World of Warplanes we weren't well accustomed with the various values, figures, menus and icons that we were suddenly inundated with. A glance at the Tech Trees and Modules looks baffling to anyone unfamiliar with the game, at least it did to us, though as ever things aren't always quite as complicated as they seem. The one thing that did stand out was the big Battle button at the top of the screen, which seemed as good a place as any to start out.
Here came our first gripe, which is not always fair to have when a game is in Alpha testing (or even Beta testing) and that was the queue times. The Co-op Games weren't too bad, here players go up against bots in base capturing/ship destroying team based matchups, usually queueing for 1 to 2 minutes, which we can handle. Trying to queue for the Random Matches, that pits two teams of players up against each other (and is also the only way to complete Missions to get the rewards) was a whole other matter and we were queueing for five minutes before we gave it up. The queueing mechanic seems odd, it's hard to make out whether you are in a queue or simply waiting for other players to join before a game starts. So primarily we focused on Co-op, given our skill (or lack thereof) it wouldn't really make much of a difference to us if we were fighting against bots or other players as we die relatively quickly to either.
Straightaway the thing that grabs you is the graphics, from the ocean waves themselves and the general environment to the actual detail that's gone into the ship models, which we are assured are accurate portrayals of their real-life counterparts. Take as much time as you like marvelling over the graphics and examining your ship, the game is extremely slow paced (albeit this has been sped up considerably from the initial release) and everything from movement, slow fire rates, progression across the map and the general length of the battles are testament that World of Warships is a slow, strategic, thinking man's shooter and generally lacks the frantic firefights that you so often see in war based shooters.
That said the adrenaline does start pumping once you get a few successful shots on target as you manage to keep aiming at their projected course (known as "leading"), firing ahead with manual aiming so that the ship sails into your shot and landing hit after hit then making the decision whether to pursue them as they flee towards their allies or hang back and lose the kill. Unfortunately we never hung back, would always pursue and would always end too deep in enemy territory flanked on all sides and sent to the bottom of the ocean. You live by the sword; you die by the sword… or in this case by the torpedo. That really does highlight the main style of combat for the game; you simply have to plan ahead, choose your course and layout a strategy but be prepared to change it at a moment's notice. As movement is so slow you can't simply turn round and escape back the way you came, the methodical plodding of your ship with its wide turning arcs and slow speeds often means that once you go too deep and end up in trouble it is very hard to get out of. As a new player the number of bells and whistles going off telling you when you hit an enemy, where you hit them, what damage it did, whether it's set them on fire, what hits you've taken, whether you're on fire, etc. it can all be a little confusing and overwhelming to begin with and so you rarely know you're in trouble until it's too late and you didn't notice you sailed full steam into the enemy fleet whilst trying to gun down a distant ship.
Being the press in the game this far away from any major games conventions raised a few eyebrows as our press "Preview" name appeared in the team rosters, enough to strike up conversation in a few games and get a little bit of a guiding hand from some players. The lack of tutorials available to us meant learning whilst playing, which typically meant going gun-ho earlier in the game then sitting around in spectator mode (because we were destroyed) and chatting to other players finding out the more helpful controls and tactics. We were even invited into a Division (a Guild) of one of the players that ended up on our team and chatted to a guy over TeamSpeak who was helpful enough to give us a few tips, make some recommendations on our choice of ships, explain what our different types of ammo did, how the AI turrets work (with your own control the main guns) and more, and was really quite helpful (a big thank you "BestTomatoEver"!)
There's plenty in the way of ship options and customisation, players are able to purchase items and research new upgrades to improve their various ship classes to arm them up in a way that best suits their play style. This was a major issue for us as we pretty much sucked.
As with the game itself improving your skills is a slow process, with queue times and the time it takes to complete a match it doesn't feel like you're necessarily getting that much better, but with a little persistence and patience it comes with time and when you make your first kill it is pretty fulfilling. The game isn't going to be for everybody, that much is obvious, though it's never been marketed as a replacement for its other sister titles and instead offers something different, it's clear that it will appeal to a different type of combat strategy player. World of Warships is at least a little more niche than other war games on the market and hopefully won't suffer the same issues that World of Warplanes has suffered with players not really buying into the game when there are equally good (or in some opinions better) alternatives such as War Thunder on the market; so for now Warships stands alone in a huge ocean was no real competition to blow it out of the water.
3 Comments - "World of Warships First Impressions"
Like the review, if you ever get to play some more write me a message ^^
By the way, since the closed beta started the number of players grew to about 10 times the number of alpha testers, so the queues are way shorter now.
Looks like an interesting game
I'll do just that if I find the time to get into it a little more, either way I appreciate your help and helping sail me in the right direction! 🙂

Skegness Indoor Bowls club report, by Dave Newman.
The hopes of a quick return to the First Division of the Lincolnshire County Mixed Bowls League for the Skegness squad took a knock on Sunday with a visit to Lincoln B.
Having suffered at the hands of Louth the previous week the squad needed to regain form.
In a three shot win for the home team 95 shots to 92 the visitors could only manage one winning rink and a drawn one for just three points, Margaret Humphries, Maurice Thorold, Muriel Coulson and Alan Brummitt won well 33-15 and level at 22-22 were Mary Banks, Brenda Rice, Dave Warren and Ken Startin.
The score difference of three shots was the same margin as when Skegness won the home fixture.
Making progress in weekend club competitions were Ladies' Pairs heat winners Joan Usher and Val Huggins with a 24-9 win over Muriel Coulson and Lynne Rigby, Jean Veall and Brenda Rice go through scoring 20 to Mary Banks and Linda Peck's nine, as Alice Salmon and Mandy Brummitt won well against Ronne Peach and Louise Brooks.
There was a close call for George Curley and Ivan Storr in the Men's Pairs heats when they scored two on the last end to seal victory 16-14 against Peter Rusher and Ray Tasker who had lead all the way to the closing stages.
Playing in the Men's Triples heats, George Curley joined John Mountain and Bryn Foxon in a 20 shots to 7 win against Johnny and Gary Morris and Gerry Armstrong.
Ivan Storr, Dave Conroy and Brian Hawes had six consecutive winning ends to win their match with Albert Sheperd, Peter Rusher and John Canham 21-11.
Ken Startin, Dave Warren and Bob Arnold got off to a good start for an easy win against Dave Briggs, Graham L. Simpson, and Alan Brummitt.
Successful in the Reeves Trophy were Barry and Lin Read scoring 21 as Anne and Don Bramley scored 13, Sue and Peter Sharp took a 23-7 advantage against John Sampson and Brenda Manning.
Playing in the club Men's Singles competition, Ken Startin's consistent play was too good for Carl York when winning 21-10.
Scoring well, John Mountain, George Curley, Ken Startin and Dave Conroy took control of their Men's Rinks match with Keith Findley, Mac McAlindon, John Clarke and Rob Rankin to win by 29 shots to 13.

It's been interesting living in our tiny cottage since the beginning of September because we've experienced temperatures between 95F and 29F.
Recently it's been getting cooler so our wood floors have felt uncomfortably cold to me. I tried wearing a couple of pairs of socks to keep my feet warmer but that didn't seem to help. I bought slippers to wear over a pair of socks but that didn't seem to help either.
So I went sneaking off to look for other solutions. I say sneaking because Jeff and I agreed when we first started construction on our cottage that since we love the look of wood floors, we would not to carpet it. Rugs cover the beauty and we also didn't want off-gassing materials in the cottage.
I figured that if I bought an area rug, that we could still see the wood grain around the rug so I wouldn't be actually going against what we'd agreed upon, right? Since I'm the type that prefers to ask for forgiveness, rather than to ask for permission, I snuck off to find a solution that would appeal to both of us.
In our relationship, I have found that when I look at something (like our 'new' used settee) that I can imagine what the end result can look like but I'm not always good at explaining my vision to others. I bought the settee knowing that if Jeff'd been with me that he'd have thought it was too ugly and could never look any better. I could see it's potential though, and we really needed something to sit on, so I went for it. Since it's been recovered and restyled he really likes it. I figured I would try this with a rug...
I looked at both new and used options. I figured that a used rug had off-gassed already so that was what I searched for first. I looked in the better furniture consignment places near us but found nothing in our size or color so I went to four big box stores that carry area rugs then to rug warehouses... and found something that I had never thought of as a solution.
My needs were:
natural fiber
no off-gassing
fairly inexpensive
visually appealing (or at least not too bad to live with for the cold months)
warm to the touch
My final choice was industrial wool felt. It's 1/2" thick, light grey, has no scent, is soft and warm underfoot. At only $1US/sf I was able to cover the living room and kitchen floors for about $60. I found it at a carpet remnant warehouse but any carpeting store will have it. They sell it as carpet padding.
I explained to Jeff what I wanted to do after the purchase. He saw it rolled and wrapped (and didn't look excited about it) and said he'd be willing to give it a try. When he came home the evening that I had installed it, he stood at the front door and said that it looked a lot better then he'd thought it could. He stepped onto it and liked that it was warm and soft too. It has received a thumbs up so far.
I'm not sure yet how it will wear underfoot but we have had a no-shoes-inside policy (to preserve the soft douglas fir flooring and now to keep the felt clean) and I have put what look like tacks covered with teflon under the legs of the chairs so they glide across the felt. The felt may be a great solution.
It's been only a few days so far, it's been about 30F to 50F, but it seems to be noticeably warmer feeling inside the cottage to both of us. I'll let you know in a month or two if it really is the solution to the cold feet problem...

In the past, the internet was simply to make money from. NOW, it's a completely different ball game because more people have started to realize the power of internet marketing and social media. With the current state of economy, business owners and investors have started to sit back, reevaluate their plans in an effort to tighten their belts. Right now, small business owners face not only a dull economy but more cramped quarters on cyberspace. If you have a website business then you are surely not alone. There are hundreds of millions of websites on the internet, all offering sales, services and information. Some of the owners are working from home whilst others are working from their offices. But are they all making money online?
You might not even have known how profitable internet marketing was until now. If it wasn't for the fact that I've heard web marketers saying similar things, I wouldn't have bothered even reading this, but it interested me that people are actually believing this stuff. So the questions that this article will be addressing are "is the Plug-In Profit Site right for you" and "what are the positives and negatives of this opportunity". While this was an ideal opportunity for me to get started with I realize that everyone is different and what worked for me won't necessarily work for you.
These are the main advantages and disadvantages of the Plug-In Profit site. Hopefully this balanced review will help you to decide whether or not is it the right choice for you.. As with all home businesses you must be motivated and persistent to be a success.
What kind of websites do people start to begin with? So if people are constantly talking about how well you take photos, this is definitely something you may want to consider. Why let your photos sit around for people to ooh and ahh at when you can make money off of them? Visit one of the above websites, review their terms, and start submitting. You can create yourself a nice little second income stream this way. Fortunately, there is a way to fix that and it is also a way in which you can make fast money. You can go ahead and build an attractive site, market it, and sell it. You can also offer to go ahead and customize that site for a fee. You can do it however you wish.

Dear Developers,
I understand that the game allows for many wonderful opportunities for growth and expansion. I even understand that it is setup this way to prevent people from becoming overpowered unless they put in a great amount of suggestions. However, I also see where some opportunities for game play are overlooked. One, guild members cannot share anything but wood and food. If you were to select other items such as Shields and relocators, it would greatly improved the ability to organize and grow. Another thing that would be great would be expanding the exchange to include items that players never use. I personally rarely use certain items, so they just sit there going to waste. Plus, better explanation of the guide location. I found it quickly, but many long time players had no clue it was even on the game. I am trying to get the word out on that.
[Bug & Suggestion] Guild improvement suggestions
[Copy link] 3/942 [Favorite]
Dear Developers,
I think It is a Stellar Idea ! Good Thought !
I think the guild trading may be more of a flavorful thing than anything. A lot of the items are intangible concepts or things that can't really be a compact object. I do think it could be expanded, however, to trade gold and minerals.
I definitely agree with exchanging more items. At the very least, adding Guild Gala quests that want every kind of item. I had 30 Fogs piled up because I never use them, there's just no real reason most of the time.
The guide board definitely needs to be a more prominent location in the city, or even adding a menu icon for the guides. As a side note, I've noticed that it seems that the guide board connects directly to the guides here on the forum. While convenient, it might be a better idea to have them be directly in the app instead of needing to connect to the forums.
Hero collection: 29/34, missing only orange heroes
Join (BLD), we are an active and prominent force that is shooting for the top!
You can allow guild members to put certain items in guild and preset an amount of guild credit required to exchange such item, maybe with a discounted rate.
if items can be given away for free, players with more accounts will rule the game. Farm account can give away item freely to main account. It will definitely be unfair to players with only one account and those spending real money in game.

Torsten Lauschmann: The Darker Ages
- Talitha Kotzé
- 15 October 2009
The art of technology
Torsten Lauschmann is an artist's artist: highly regarded by his Glasgow-based peers, he never fails to impress. This show featuring a new body of work conjures up a cinematic experience as you enter a darkened room and find yourself somewhere between the thin veneer of reality and a filmic verisimilitude.
The space is filled with projected images and the various pieces of equipment become integral to the works as projectors cast their own light shadows, asserting themselves as intriguing objects. In 'House of the rising sun', the image of a solitary house is projected on top of a wall painted landscape and filled with luminescence that filters through the windows to cast long shards of light onto the dark planet. Watch carefully and you'll see a figure move through the interior.
In a mesmerising video projection, the mechanics of the Victorian optical toy the thaumatrope – a precursor of animation and cinematography – have been employed to create a double-sided disk. An image of a young girl on the one side and an older woman photographed with a group of children on the other, spin like a wheel of time, accelerating closer and closer to infinity. Like a memory coming to life, vivid, yet wonderfully magical, it provokes that enrapturing child-like feeling that we don't often disclose to others.
Lauschmann's works are fabricated in order to offer the viewer an engaging process of decoding. Here he manipulates cinematic technology to tell stories of its history while building new narratives through seductive imagery, creating an allure that exists on the edges of different worlds and unsettles as much as it enchants.
'He's got the whole world in his hand' is a Mac laptop pierced with a biro pen, the screen splintered into small sections, some blacked out and others remaining backlit. It functions both as dead wood and technology, and a tool to project a soundtrack of Tuvan throat singing – the motif of duality continued in the style of overtone chanting.
Spot on. This exhibition is a remedy inspired by a darker aged recipe only a white witch could have whispered in Lauschmann's ear.
Mary Mary, Glasgow, until Sat 21 Nov

Freeman Lease Renewal Moves Ahead
At its April 24, 2013 meeting, the Ann Arbor Public Schools board of education was briefed on a recommendation to renew the district's lease of Freeman School to Go Like the Wind Montessori School. The district has leased the building to Go Like the Wind since 1987. It's located at 3540 Dixboro Lane.
If approved, the new three-year lease with one two-year renewal option would begin on July 1, 2014. The new proposed rate is $300,862, with a 3% increase each year. Over a five-year lease period, the district will receive over $1.5 million in rent.
Randy Trent, AAPS executive director of physical properties, recognized that the tenants have paid for renovations over the past 10 years, while the district pays for maintenance.
As a school building, Trent noted, the property was not very lucrative. When it was last assessed several years ago, it was appraised at $600,000 for the building and the 40 acres of land it sits on. However, if the area becomes more developed in the future, Trent said, it could be an important property for the district to own.
The board of education will be asked to approve the lease renewal after a second briefing at its next regular meeting.
This brief was filed the day following the April 24, 2013 AAPS board meeting. A more detailed report of the meeting will follow: [link]

Following the revelation that the U.S. Public Health Service conducted unethical research on STDs in Guatemala in the 1940s, President Obama charged the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to conduct "a thorough review of human subjects protection to determine if Federal regulations and international standards adequately guard the health and well-being of participants in scientific studies supported by the Federal government."
In response, the Commission has spent a great deal of time considering the degree to which regulations can be amended or augmented to improve the safety of research subjects and to guide researchers. However, as has been pointed out in previous meetings of the Commission, it is important to recognize that regulations are still limited in the degree to which they can protect subjects. Although federally funded research must comply with federal regulations, and drug trials for therapies that will be marketed in the United States must comply with FDA requirements, there are still gaps where government regulations do not apply. In these cases, dependence on private industry standards of practice and professional guidelines may be the only line of ethical defense and human subject protection.
This morning the Commission heard from representatives of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) and the Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Association (PhRMA) about the professional guidelines that each group has adopted. The professional guidelines adopted by BIO and PhRMA illuminate current best practices in the industry and ethical norms that may provide some helpful insight when considering engagement with researchers beyond the limited scope of governmental regulation.
Of particular interest to the Commission this morning were the views of industry on compensation of human subjects in clinical research. At present, the U.S. Government has no requirements for compensation of research subjects harmed in clinical trials. Dr. Russell M. Medford, speaking on behalf of BIO, told the Commission that the industry standard for members of BIO was clinical trial insurance that would cover either all the medical costs of harm associated with participation in the trial or those costs above and beyond the expenses that a trial participant's private insurance would cover. Dr. Medford described these compensation practices as "required from a fiduciary standpoint and from an ethical standpoint."
Mr. Jeffrey K. Francer, speaking on behalf of PhRMA agreed that similar practices were observed by PhRMA members, who felt a similar obligation to participants in their trials, and went on to suggest that this is certainly an area where the government could learn from industry.
Harmonization of protections was another concern of both Commission members and the speakers. Dr. Medford, said that it's a misperception that international research trials are carried out in developing countries simply to avoid regulation. In fact, he said, administration of trials performed abroad can be more complicated because of differing regulations. Drawing an analogy, Dr. Medford described the conduct of international research as trying to ship goods on an interstate train system where on no one has agreed on the gauge of the tracks – requiring shipping companies to unload each car at state lines and reload on a new train.
Concluding the session, Francer pointed out that pharmaceutical companies make medicines that are used globally.
"Is it ethical to test them only in the United States?" he asked.

Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) have now implemented a roll-out 1,700 digital pens to ambulance crews across Wales, following a highly successful pilot of Anoto's digital writing technology with paramedics at the Swansea Ambulance station in 2013.
"This solution delivers just what we need; a secure digital patient record that can be rapidly transferred to our clinical audit department. Measuring the quality of the care given by ambulance crews for conditions such as stroke or heart attack is increasingly important in order that we manage the whole patient episode from 999 call to definitive treatment.

With the United States announcing the first battlefield use of its largest, non-nuclear bomb against ISIS in Afghanistan, I wanted to examine the background of these highly destructive thermobaric ordnances and how the American version nicknamed the "Mother of All Bombs" compares to Russia's version, nicknamed the "Father of All Bombs".
The United States military GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb or MOAB (nicknamed the "Mother of All Bombs") was developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and was first tested on March 11k 2003 at the Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Here are the key characteristics of the MOAB:
Weight – 21,700 pounds
Skin – Aluminum
Guidance – GPS using grid fins and inertial gyro
Length – 30 feet
Diameter – 40.5 inches
Explosive – 18,700 pounds of H6, TNT and aluminum
Blast Yield – 11 tons or 22,000 pounds
Blast Radius – 150 metres or 492 feet
The MOAB is launched from a cradle located on an airdrop platform inside a C-130 Hercules aircraft and is designed to launch at high altitude. Because of its massive size, it is extracted from the aircraft by way of a drogue parachute which extracts the weapon, cradle and platform. The weapon is then released from its cradle and grid fins open and guide the weapon to its target. By using an aluminum skin, the explosive power of the MOAB is not constrained as it would be with a stronger metal. At a range of 1000 yards (914 metres) from the point of detonation, the MOAB is capable of destroying everything. Up to 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometres), the shockwave is capable of killing people and causing severe damage to structures.
Here is a background video on the MOAB:
Here is a photo of the MOAB:
Here are the key characteristics of this highly classified weapon:
Weight – 15,650 pounds
Explosive – high explosive, aluminum powder and ethylene oxide
Yield – approximately 44 tons or 88,000 pounds
Blast Radius – 300 metres or 984 feet
The official state video shows that the ATBIP is dropped from the bomb bay of a Tu160 and falls to its detonation altitude on a parachute, however, some experts believe that it is most likely to be released by a slow-flying cargo plane because it appears to be launched using a drag parachute. It is exploded in mid-air which provides maximum destruction. At 200 metres from the epicentre, all unfortified and concrete structures are destroyed. At 300 metres from the epicentre, unfortified structures like homes are completely destroyed and reinforced structures are partly destroyed. At 1100 metres from the epicentre, the shock wave is capable of breaking glass and at 2300 metres from the epicentre, the shock wave is still powerful enough to knock a person down. While some defense analysts dispute the power of Russia's ATBIP, there is no doubt that it is capable of delivering extremely destructive forces on its target.
Here is a video with some information on the ATBIP/FOAB:
Both of these massive thermobaric bombs have the same operating principle; the massive amount of explosives contained in the device combine with atmospheric oxygen to create an explosive blast that penetrates huge volumes of space. After the cloud is ignited, a vacuum is created and air rushes into the void, resulting in total devastation. Unlike traditional munitions which rely on metal fragments propelled by an explosive, thermobaric weapons release a massive shockwave that is capable of destroying massive above and below ground structures including cave complexes.
From this posting, you can see that both Russia and the United States have developed non-nuclear munitions that are capable of inflicting significant damage, similar to what was experienced by Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. It seems that the only upside to these weapons is the fact that, while they decimate life over a wide radius, they don't leave behind that messy radioactive fallout that survivors have to deal with.

Stunt 2: Because I am an alien Christ-figure, I get a +2 when I Forcefully Defend innocent bystanders.
Umm… I hadn't seen "Man of Steel" when I wrote my FAE Superman stats last Friday. As many have commented, Zack Snyder kind of forgot to include that character trait in the movie. I can assure you that stunt was not meant as a dig at the film; I enjoyed the movie and can even excuse the slight mischaracterization on the grounds that it is literally Superman's first adventure in the film's continuity.

Ok..April Challenge is over, Now What?
So now that the April Photoaday Challenge is over, I actually have to try and be creative and put some real content into this blog. Ya, its harder than you would think. Sometimes I just don't know what to say, because quite frankly, there is just nothing interesting to talk about. Oh, I could vent about how bored I am, but seriously, I bet you'd be leaving this blog faster than you could click the button. So, I think I might start by sharing something that I thought was share worthy and funny.

Almost a year after liquor baron Vijay Mallya left the country, the government on Thursday handed over to the UK an extradition request for the absconding businessman who is facing cases of loan default and other financial irregularities. There are already 15 extradition requests pending with the British government. The Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "Today, we handed over the request for extradition of Vijay Vittal Mallya which we received from the CBI to the UK High Commission here. We have requested the UK side to extradite him to face trial in India."
Stressing that India has a "legitimate" case against Mallya, he said if an extradition request is honoured, it shows their "sensitivity towards our concerns". "We have made the extradition request in prescribed format and it is for the UK to deliberate on the request and take further action," he added.
Swarup also said India is yet to make an extradition request for former IPL chairman Lalit Modi. Last month, a CBI court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Mallya in the Rs 720-crore IDBI Bank loan default case. Mallya, whose now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines owes more than Rs 9,000 crore to various banks, had left India on March 2.
Union Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh, in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha, said that during the British Prime Minister's visit nearly three months ago, she and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed that fugitives and criminals should not be allowed to escape the law.
"As of February 4, 2017, there are 15 extradition requests pending with the UK government which are at various stages of execution," the minister said. The two leaders also expressed their strong commitment to facilitate outstanding extradition requests from both sides, he added.
Officials said that in the case of Vijay Mallya, based on the investigation initiated by the CBI in July 2015, the Enforcement Directorate started its probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA) Act in January 2016. Several summons were issued by the ED in March and April 2016 but Mallya failed to appear in person before the investigating authority. A non-bailable warrant was issued by the designated court in April 2016.
"At the request of the Enforcement Directorate and following due process, the passport of Vijay Mallya was revoked on April 23, 2016. A formal request was also made to the Government of the United Kingdom on April 28, 2016 to deport him to India. In response, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the UK conveyed that under the 1971 Immigration Act, the UK does not require an individual to hold a valid passport to remain in the UK if they have extant leave to remain, as long as their passport was valid when leave to remain or enter the UK was conferred. Such leave is granted to the individual and therefore does not automatically expire upon the cancellation or expiry of the passport in which it is endorsed. The UK Government, however, acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations and expressed its readiness to consider the request under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty or extradition," the official said.

I got some not-so-good news from Mark Nottingham re the Profile header draft. The 6-8 week timeframe I had in mind is not likely. I thought the draft was stable and just waiting some trigger to go to IETF last call, but it turns out there's non-trivial discussion of the relationship between links in Atom and links in HTML, and whether a link type registry should be created. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2007JanMar/thread.html#msg129 So with some regret, (a) I suggest we re-open the issue (b) I suggest I should take out the HTTP links section of the spec (after the last-call review freeze is over) (b) I propose to postpone the issue, since a URI-based linking feature in HTTP such as the Profile header field is not yet stable/ratified/standardized http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec#issue-http-header-links -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/Received on Thursday, 22 February 2007 00:01:09 UTC

Our laptop is out of action unless we are on constant power as it does not start for ages and runs the battery flat before fully starting! We have another desk top computer kindly given to us by friends but it uses a bit of our house battery! So until we get solar blog posts may be quite sporadic! We also don't have a way of uploading photo's with this computer as we've lost the usb cable and rely on the inbuilt SD card reader!
Life continues on with educating our girls (and Jireh), training the dogs, upgrading the inside of the bus and raising our cute puppies! We are please to say they all have homes, although we still have 5 left in the bus with us.
The last week has been so wet we struggle to keep a positive attitide! No sooner do you clean up the mess from one dog or small person than another is made! Jireh is probably the only one actually enjoying the mud!! He is constantly covered in mud to the point of being only in a nappy to save on washing!!
We met an interesting guy last week. We were parked in a commuter carpark near the Egaleby train station on a Sunday afternoon. There was very little traffic so we were not taking up spaces that others needed. We did our shopping bought it "home" and unpacked the shopping trolly into the bus. Mike then headed back to the shopping centre to return the trolly. The little guys got out some matchbox/hotwheels cars and started playing on the curb. It was very safe, there was a garden, a fence then a house. As I was packing in the groceries, the guy that lived in the house called out through the lattice asking where we usually stop the night and if we'd be stopping there. I told him, No we would not be staying there, we'd be having some dinner, then heading off in about an hour. He seemed happy enough with that.
Fast forward an hour ... we are just getting ready to pack away the toys and the puppies when we notice this guy taking photo's of the girls/puppies and bus through his lattice! I wasn't very happy with this so called the children inside. Not long after he comes out with his dog and camera and another guy asking all sorts of inappropriate questions about our family size, gender etc! We told him it's against the law to take photo's of other people without thier consent. He totally disregarded this and continued to snap pics of Mike and I!
He told us that if we report him to the police he'd report us! What for? He had no idea! His reason for taking the photo's was "as evidence" just in case we threw rubbish over his fence!!!
We told him we were packing up and leaving ... not that he believed us! Crazy guy, seemed out to cause trouble. We told him we were going and walked off to start the bus!! He continued on with his "walking the dog".
We didn't report him, but oneday I'd love to ask the police what our rights are in that situation.
On a brighter note, we have met some lovely people recently! We went to the unfuneral of Elijah Rainbow Fisher and made some new friends. We got to park our bus in the driveway of one such friend and spend the night and next day with them. Our kids did not want to leave they were having so much fun!

Today the Minneapolis Star Tribune announced its choice for the 5th District Congressional seat that will be contested in the Democratic primary on September 12. The Strib bypassed the DFL's endorsed candidate, Keith Ellison, and instead endorsed Martin Sabo's former chief of staff, Mike Erlandson.
Anyone curious as to why the Strib didn't want to sign on with its party's endorsed candidate would have gotten no clue from the paper's editorial. It had kind words for all of the Democrats in the race; here is what it said about Ellison:
Keith Ellison, an attorney from north Minneapolis and a two-term member of the Minnesota House, has reminded more than one voter of the late Paul Wellstone. He brings a passion for progressive causes, a gift for grassroots mobilizing — and a promise that he has sorted out his careless finances.
That's it: no reference to Ellison's membership in the Nation of Islam, his use of aliases like Keith Hakim, Keith X Ellison and Keith Ellison-Muhammad; no reference to his anti-Semitic comments; no reference to his association with, and endorsement of, leaders of gangs who murdered policemen; no reference to his consistent support for criminals like Assata Shakur and Kathleen Soliah.
And yet…one gets the impression that the Strib's editorial board is somehow aware of these things… that it wasn't only Ellison's financial incompetence and scofflaw personality that caused the paper to turn against its party's endorsed candidate. It was almost as though the Strib's editorialists knew about these issues without ever having read about them in their own paper… almost as though the Strib's editorialists have been reading Power Line.
A postscript: the Strib flashes its far-left credentials in this excerpt from its endorsement of Erlandson:
He has the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters and the support of Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, one of Congress' most courageous and thoughtful critics of the war in Iraq.
Since the Strib keeps telling us how unpopular the Iraq war is, it is not clear why Murtha's opposition to it is "courageous." Why doesn't the paper say it is "opportunistic"? Just one of those mysteries of journalism, I guess. What I really like, though, is the Strib's claim that Mad Jack is a "thoughtful" critic of the war. Murtha wants to remove our troops from Iraq and station them in Okinawa, where, he says, they will be ready to return on a moment's notice! We ridiculed Murtha's knucklehead proposal here and elsewhere. That's the Strib, though: the paper where "thoughtful" means "so crazy he makes you laugh out loud."
