NATO Destroys 25 Pro-Gadhafi Tanks
|12:47:28 PM, Sunday, April 10, 2011
"NATO destroyed 25 tanks belonging to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces on Sunday, as heavy fighting in Libya raged for a second day around a key frontline city.
The military alliance issued a statement saying it struck 11 vehicles as they approached Ajdabiyah, and another 14 on the outskirts of Misrata.
"The situation in Ajdabiyah, and Misrata in particular, is desperate for those Libyans who are being brutally shelled by the [Gadhafi] regime," said Canadian Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard, who leads NATO's operations in Libya.
Air strikes near the strategic city of Ajdabiyah, 150 kilometres south of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, killed at least 15 government soldiers, Reuters reported.
NATO responded after forces loyal to Libyan leader launched their most sustained offensive since being driven back by international airstrikes last month and as rebels struggled to keep control of a buffer zone protecting their main eastern strongholds.
Rebels are desperate to hang onto the city to give breathing room to their main political base in Benghazi, a coastal city to the north of the latest fighting. If Ajdabiya moves into government hands, however, there is just open desert to Benghazi — the same scenario that galvanized the international air campaign over fears of mass civilian casualties.
CBC's Neil Macdonald, reporting from a hospital in Ajdabiya, said he was told 18 people were killed — including civilians, rebels and troops loyal to Gadhafi.
African Union wants ceasefire
The apparent surge in ground fighting could add urgency to the latest peace initiative. Envoys from the African Union plan to hold talks with Gadhafi and rebels during a two-day visit beginning Sunday. An official from the African bloc, Khellaf Brahan, said its proposals call for an immediate ceasefire, opening channels for humanitarian aid and talks between the rebels and the government.
But it's unclear whether rebel leaders would agree to call off their attacks while Gadhafi remained in power.
In the capital Tripoli, the deputy foreign minister claimed government forces shot down two U.S.-built Chinook helicopters being used by rebel forces in the east of the country.
Khaled Kaim said the helicopters were shot down near the eastern oil facilities of Brega — a key objective of rebels — and accused NATO commanders of a double standard to allow rebel forces to operate aircraft in "clear violation" of the UN-backed no-fly zone over the country.
"We have a question for the allied forces — is this resolution made for the Libyan government only or everyone in Libya?" he asked..."
-- Flying tanks! Gadhafi has the best tech.

State Senator Wants N.J. Students To 'Opt In' To Paying Activity Fees Following Snooki's Rutgers Visit
|4:26:27 PM, Saturday, April 09, 2011
"New Jersey's public universities students would have to "opt in" to paying for student events — like last week's appearance by "Jersey Shore" star Snooki at Rutgers University — under new legislation Sen. Joe Kyrillos is preparing to propose in the state Senate.
Kyrillos (R-Monmouth/Middlesex) said students at state colleges and universities should have a clearer choice of whether they want to pay for student-planned events that carry fees. Last week, Rutgers students paid Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi $32,000 to appear for two one-hour question-and-answer sessions on the Livingston campus in Piscataway. The students, who were not required to get approval from university officials, used a portion of the mandatory student fees they pay with their tuition to pay Snooki.
"Students ought not be forced to fund entertainment or events that they find objectionable," Kyrillos said. "There were a great deal of Rutgers students who I am certain were uninterested or flat out outraged by Ms. Polizzi's appearance on campus."
Kyrillos described Snooki as "a degenerate reality television star who offers neither useful advice nor any appreciable talents."
Like most colleges, Rutgers allows student committees to book speakers, concerts and other events funded by student fees. About 1,000 students attended the two free Snooki shows at Rutgers. Most students said they had a great time.
Under the current system, most students automatically pay student activities with their tuition. Under Kyrillos' legislation, public colleges would also be required to give students a box on their tuition forms to "opt in" to contributing to a student activities fund.
"If students can make a case for continued fees then let's find a methodology for appropriate checks and balances so that money is not wasted," Kyrillos said..."

Nazi Warplane Lying Off UK Coast Is Intact
|11:39:17 PM, Friday, April 08, 2011
"A rare World War Two German bomber, shot down over the English Channel in 1940 and hidden for years by shifting sands at the bottom of the sea, is so well preserved a British museum wants to raise it.
The Dornier 17 -- thought to be world's last known example -- was hit as it took part in the Battle of Britain.
It ditched in the sea just off the Kent coast, southeast England, in an area known as the Goodwin Sands.
The plane came to rest upside-down in 50 feet of water and has become partially visible from time to time as the sands retreated before being buried again.
Now a high-tech sonar survey undertaken by the Port of London Authority (PLA) has revealed the aircraft to be in a startling state of preservation.
Ian Thirsk, from the RAF Museum at Hendon in London, told the BBC he was "incredulous" when he first heard of its existence and potential preservation.
"This aircraft is a unique aeroplane and it's linked to an iconic event in British history, so its importance cannot be over-emphasized, nationally and internationally," he said.
"It's one of the most significant aeronautical finds of the century."
Known as "the flying pencil," the Dornier 17 was designed as a passenger plane in 1934 and was later converted for military use as a fast bomber, difficult to hit and theoretically able to outpace enemy fighter aircraft..."
Astronomy Picture of the Day: The Milky Way Over Tenerife
|11:08:25 PM, Friday, April 08, 2011
-- "Have you ever seen the band of our Milky Way Galaxy? Chances are you have never seen it like this -- nor could you. In a clear sky from a dark location at the right time, a faint band of light is visible across the sky. This band is the disk of our spiral galaxy. Since we are inside this disk, the band appears to encircle the Earth. The above spectacular picture of the Milky Way arch, however, goes where the unaided eye cannot. The image is actually a deep digital fusion of nine photos that create a panorama fully 360 across. Taken recently in Teide National Park in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, the image includes the Teide volcano, visible near the image center, behind a volcanic landscape that includes many large rocks. Far behind these Earthly structures are many sky wonders that are visible to the unaided eye, such as the band of the Milky Way, the bright waxing Moon inside the arch, and the Pleiades open star cluster (can you find it?). The deep exposure also brings out many sky wonders normally beyond human perception, many of which are labelled on the annotated image version, including Barnard's Loop, visible above as the half red ring below the Milky Way band."
Virtual Sales Provide Aid To Poorer Nations
|10:39:35 PM, Friday, April 08, 2011
"Up to 100,000 people in China and Vietnam are playing online games to gather gold and other items for sale to Western players, a report suggests.
The global market for such virtual game goods is worth at least $3bn (£1.8bn) the World Bank study estimates.
About 75% of that comes from so-called "gold farmers" who stockpile game currencies to sell on later.
Encouraging these in-game services could aid development in many poorer countries, said the report.
Virtual farms
Popular online games such as Lineage and World of Warcraft revolve around the gear that players gather to outfit their characters. Better equipment makes characters more powerful.
Some of that equipment can be found on monsters, as well as being bought from other players who have found or made it.
Increasingly, the report said, Western players who have limited time for gaming are buying game cash, gear and high level characters from people in China and Vietnam that are paid to play as a job..."

Video: Spaceship Lands at San Francisco Airport
|10:33:20 PM, Thursday, April 07, 2011
"One of the first planes to dock at Virgin America's new San Francisco International Airport terminal was a spaceship.
Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo arrived hitched between the twin fuselages of WhiteKnightTwo, its mothership and launch platform.
"For the first time we've brought the spaceship and WhiteKnight to a commercial airport…. It's just a fantastic, exciting day," says an obviously amped-up Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides. Before he was the company's CEO, Whitesides was one of the first people to sign up for a $200,000 ticket to ride on the space plane.
Commercial flights will begin in a year or two, Whitesides added.
The spaceship/mothership combination landed at SFO in formation with a more typical Virgin vehicle, an Airbus A320, which carried celebrity passengers such as Virgin founder Richard Branson (seen peering out the window in the video above) and pioneering astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
A handful of lucky schoolchildren who are part of a Virgin-backed nonprofit foundation's effort to get students interested in science, math and entrepreneurship, also got to ride, plus a passel of journalists.
It's just one of the public relations benefits Virgin enjoys as a result of operating both a domestic air carrier and a suborbital spaceflight operation.
The event was staged to show off Virgin's new home at SFO's Terminal 2, a sleek new structure that's been under construction for nearly 10 years. The company touted the green credentials of the new terminal and its fleet. For instance, contractors recycled 90 percent of the construction project's debris, according to Virgin. It is also LEED Gold-certified, meaning the terminal meets stringent criteria for energy efficiency.
"Virgin America has the most advanced and carbon-efficient commercial fleet in the U.S," Whitesides said in a statement. The 700-800 gallons of jet fuel consumed by the hourlong, celebrity-laden A320 flight was not mentioned.
Also of interest to travelers is the terminal's free Wi-Fi, "elevated laptop work stations" with power outlets, and hydration stations for refilling your Earth-friendly, reusable, stainless steel water bottles.
But at the end of the day, it was the spaceship that stole the show. There's no word on whether regular flights to space will actually depart from SFO once Virgin Galactic begins commercial operations.
If so, they might have to rename the airport San Francisco Interplanetary."

7 Psychotic Pieces of Relationship Advice from Cosmo
|4:20:45 PM, Thursday, April 07, 2011
"We get it. Guys are tough to figure out: There's like 24 possible combinations that you can make with 1) beer 2) food 3) sex and 4) sports. No wonder their girlfriends have to resort to lady magazines to gain insight into the buzzing hive that is the male mind. We know most women laugh that stuff off as cheap entertainment not to be taken seriously, but what if they actually did listen to all of the advice?
It'd pretty much turn into a nightmare of paranoia and petty revenge. After all, according to various Cosmo articles...
#7.He Shares the Details of His Day, Therefore He Must Be Hiding Something
Men just aren't as communicative as women, especially when they're stressed. So, let's say a guy makes a conscious decision to share more. That's solid advice, no matter the source. When she asks him about his day, instead of just saying, "fine," he can tell her in detail about his argument with Sarah, the lady from HR.
Guess what? Sharing about his day was a big mistake. According to one Cosmo article, giving too many details is a sign that he's hiding something:
"Don't be fooled by a guy who offers up tons of minor bits of information about where he's been or what he's been doing. At first, it may seem that because he can describe so much, he must be truthful. But he could actually be trying to cover his ass. 'If he's telling a story and you notice he's peppering it with insignificant details, that's a warning sign,' says Driver. 'This is especially true if you detect a lot of pauses, because it means he's trying to come up with more facts.' "
"How many more facts before you'll love me?"
Yes, according to Cosmo, by sharing so much about the stressful day he just had, the man is actually revealing that he's cheating on his partner (probably with Sarah). And all those times the man had to stop and think -- to make sure he didn't miss any details? You know, because he wanted to be more communicative? That's pure incrimination..."
General: Libyan Conflict Is At Stalemate, US May Consider Sending Troops
|4:15:17 PM, Thursday, April 07, 2011
"WASHINGTON – The U.S. may consider sending troops into Libya with a possible international ground force that could aid the rebels, the former U.S. commander of the military mission said Thursday, describing the ongoing operation as a stalemate that is more likely to go on now that America has handed control to NATO.
But Army Gen. Carter Ham also told lawmakers that American participation in a ground force would not be ideal, since it could erode the international coalition attacking Moammar Gadhafi's forces and make it more difficult to get Arab support for operations in Libya.
He said NATO has done an effective job in an increasingly complex combat situation. But he noted that, in a new tactic, Gadhafi's forces are making airstrikes more difficult by staging their fighters and vehicles near civilian areas such as schools and mosques.
The use of an international ground force is a possible plan to bolster the Libyan rebels, Ham said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Asked whether the U.S. would provide troops, Ham said, "I suspect there might be some consideration of that. My personal view at this point would be that that's probably not the ideal circumstance, again for the regional reaction that having American boots on the ground would entail."
President Barack Obama has said repeatedly there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Libya, although there are reports of small CIA teams in the country.
Pressed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., about the situation in Libya, Ham agreed that a stalemate "is now more likely" since NATO took command.
Ham also disclosed that the U.S. is providing some strike aircraft to the NATO operation that do not need to go through the special approval process recently established. The powerful side-firing AC-130 gunship is available to NATO commanders, he said..."
-- The obvious result was obvious... This really should not be news to anyone, unless you're super naive... That would be on top of the CIA, covert ops and marines we have there now of course.

Does anyone know if the new scenes included on the DVD are actually going to be integrated into the film (a la the Special Editions), or simply included in a special "cut scene" section? All the info I've read so far has been a little vague on this point. I think it would be really a slick feature if we had the option to watch the film with or without the new footage, but I doubt this is going to happen.
If the scenes are NOT included in the film, how many of you will still consider them canonical, rather than glimpses of "what might have been"? I'm sure everyone has differing viewpoints on this.

Dudanogueira, I am glad to see you have moved to the proper coast of Canada. As a new West Coaster, there are a few things you should know:
- After the Canucks lose (and they will lose), it is acceptable to cheer for the Flames or some other Canadian team, with the exception of the Maple Leafs.
- In every conversation with your friends back east, remind them of how we have no snow here.
- In the event that the previous is false, do not communicate with any of said aforementioned friends, as all your will hear is laughing.
- Persuant to 2 and 3, it is also acceptable to remind aforementioned eastern friends that rain does not need to be shovelled. Right after that April snowstorm is usually an excellent time. They will, after all, have had an entire winter to bond completely with their snow shovels and become one with the pain that is watching the snowplow come by five minutes after you finish shovelling out your driveway.
- The universe does not revolve around Toronto. Some of your Toronto friends might forget this and need reminding occasionally.
- Ottawa is very far away and satisfaction with the government there is inversely proportional with the distance to said city. However, too much griping about the Federal Government is too Albertan, so avoid excessive amounts of this.
- Albertans are rich and are driving up our land values by spending their illgotten gains on big 3rd houses. Focus on the fact that they are running away from Alberta, not that they got rich there (and you aren't), and you will be much happier.
- All of the aforementioned advice should taken with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

In terms of multiples, Russia is the emerging market that is even cheaper than China. The iShares MSCI Russia Capped Index trades at only 0.6 times book, data from Morningstar show.
Just like shadow banking snags China, corporate governance is Russia's biggest hurdle. Russian stocks therefore rose today to a three-week high after Vladimir Putin said Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the jailed former billionaire owner of Yukos Oil, will receive a pardon. Bloomberg has the details:
Khodorkovsky's case came to represent investor concern about the rule of law in Russia, where human rights and corporate governance concerns have spurred the biggest outflows from equity markets since 1996.
The Market Vectors Russia ETF Trust (RSX) fell 0.8%, outperforming the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF's (EEM) 2.1% slump. The iShares MSCI Russia Capped ETF (ERUS) fell 0.7%.
Looking at another CEEMMA heavyweight: Turkey is mired in a political in-fighting between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AK Party and his former political ally, U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, who has a wide following in the police and judiciary. Bloomberg reports:
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan turned the tables on a corruption investigation targeting his party, vowing to reveal a "state within a state" and purging about 50 police chiefs.
China's Bo Xilai purge pales in comparison to this political drama. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) lost 4.8%.

How can we not expect that to happen??? Almost all of the majors are on Federal life support now, it's only a pen-stroke away to go the whole nine yards. I've been mentioning this since last June, when Bear Stearns almost went bankrupt, but were then sold.
Since the 1990s the Fed has been looking into the Scandinavian banks form of nationalisations. They called it "contingency options".
With the stockholders of the majors all but wiped out (prices below $2/share), it's a matter of time before there will be a run on Citigroup and some of the others. The Fed will just close them up. Accounts will be doled out at $50/day, or mebbe up to $500/month.
For those that are skeptical of this happening??? I'm thinking it will. Don't know what the effect will be on our local banks, but at this time, I'd suggest you open an account in one of the Credit Union facilities. They seem to be continuing on unscathed by this dilemma. Not sure where they get there funds from, but so far in this market, they are doing business as usual it seems. I know I intend to follow my own advice.

Well, Hugo Chavez took over (nationalized) the oil companies in Venezuela and the left in this country are fawning all over him. It is a real left wing right of passage to have a picture taken with him. I expect there is quite a bit of left wing support for nationalizing industries in this nation and not just the banks!
Socialists believe in government control.
Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Article [II.]
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Really, we now live in a country were the producers are punished, and the non-producers, are more or less catered too. Our schools are more interested in developing a childs self-esteem than trying to teach them the bare minimum that they need to accually be producers themselves. The government considers infrastructure projects "job creation" instead of what they acually are "tax burdens",nobody has got through to them that government does not create new jobs, only the free market can do that, but alas, a large percentage of our population doesn't understand the basic priciples that have enabled our country to survive while so many others have disapeared, or fallen into such archaic turmoil they might as well have.
Not going to happen? I wouldn't bet on it,it's already started. the government wants to tell companys how much salery their ceo's can draw, what pecentage of that can be bonus' and so forth. I don't know what it will take for those out there who suffer from Obamamania to understand that the free market didn't fail,government manlipulaion of it did, had it not been for that the housing bubble would not have burst, because people wouldn't have been approved for loans they couldn't repay. Automakers wouldn't be regulated to the point that the cars they produce basically require a mortgage also.
Not going to happen? Think again, we can't get our congress to come together and make english our national language, protect our borders, or understand if we make a terrorist a little uncomfortable in order to get information that thats OK, but they can decide how to spend a trillion dollars of our money pretty dag-gone quick. If you don't start understanding the severity of the situation,then be prepared to say the pledge to the USSA.
Semper Fi
Marines and Dogs understand
While I may agree with some of your comments, I do not think that in the near future the government will nationalize. So far, the White House said NO,Treasury said NO,Bernanke said NO. That probably means we are heading that way. I can not believe it, well, maybe I can

Citigroup officials are in active talks with federal regulators that could result in the government owning a bigger chunk of the giant bank, a person close to the situation told DealBook.
Citigroup officials approached the regulators with a plan that would allow them to convert a substantial amount of the $45 billion of preferred shares held by the government into common stock. That would give the government a much bigger ownership stake in the company, and would likely increase its influence. Federal officials have already pressured the company to shrink itself and shake up its board.
Citigroup executives approached officials at the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency about the plan, a person close to the situation said. No final decision has been made, and it is unclear what the government will ultimately decide. And crucial details of the plan remain unclear, including the terms of the conversion arrangement.
For Citigroup, the move would allow them to retire a portion of its existing debt, and through an accounting maneuver, immediately bolster the amount of common stock. That would appease investors and regulators, who are expected to make a bigger cushion of common stock a requirement when details of the new stress test are announced this week. But any such exchange would severely dilute existing Citigroup stockholders since it would require the bank to issue more shares.
Other big banks are considering similar actions, and a Citigroup agreement with the government could pave the way for similar arrangements. That has likely added to the mounting pressure on Citigroup and other financial stocks, which have been battered over the past two weeks amid growing investor fear of nationalization.

"Global Feminisms" at Wellesley College's Davis Museum could be one of the most important exhibits of the year. It rounds up nearly 80 artworks by 63 women artists born since 1960 from nearly 40 countries to consider the present state of feminist art in the West and provide an overview of some of the cool stuff women are making elsewhere. The spotlight is on a biting critique of sexism and its ugly permutations around the world. And there's lots of video, a sign of feminist art's long-time focus on (recorded) performance — something that's come to have a major place in the art world.
But "Global Feminisms" is a depressing experience. When I first saw it — in March, at the Brooklyn Museum, where it originated — one piece stuck in my head as epitomizing both the best and the worst of the exhibit. Israeli artist Sigalit Landau's 2000 video "Barbed Hula" shows the artist naked and mangling her belly by hula-hooping with a ring of barbed wire on a beach. "The object of pain," the catalogue explains, is "a symbol of the geographic barrier created along the West Bank to delineate land between Palestine and Israel."
At the Davis Museum, which is reopening after more than a year of building repairs, the violence is toned down a bit because Davis curator Elaine Mehalakes gives the art (three-quarters of what was shown in Brooklyn) more room to breathe. But the exhibit still puts a dispiriting emphasis on self-mutilation. In photos, Japanese artist Ryoko Suzuki binds her face with bloody strands of pigskin. In a video, Serbian Milica Tomic claims 30 nationalities while bloody cuts appear across her body. American Mary Coble pastes duct tape to her naked breasts and rips it off till her bust turns an angry red. Spain's Pilar Albarracín moans and wails through a flamenco tune before stabbing herself in the chest.
That's not all. Cuban Tania Bruguera straps a lamb carcass to her naked body and eats dirt. Swede Annika von Hausswolff stages crime-scene photos of female rape and murder victims dumped along lonely roads. In a photo, German Claudia Reinhardt re-enacts Sylvia Plath's suicide, complete with her head stuck in a kitchen oven and a note on table: "Please look after the kids."
These works have important targets: violence against women, the lack of recognition of female artists, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, jingoism, prejudice against the lesbian-gay-bisexual-transsexual community. They convey the pain of oppression. But grouped all together, the self-mutilation and the self-humiliation feel like sexism turned inward. It's the opposite of empowering.
"Global Feminisms" was organized by Maura Reilly, curator of the Brooklyn Museum's new Center for Feminist Art, and her former professor Linda Nochlin, who penned the landmark 1971 essay and call-to-arms "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" The exhibit muses on motherhood, marriage, aging, family, gender roles, national identity, sexuality, pornography, gender bending, racism, and religious-based oppression of women.

Crestview Hills, KY

When this award-winning Washington D.C.-based chain opened in Clifton earlier in the year we stopped by to try it but the queues were out the door and we didn't feel like waiting. We've tried to get into the restaurant several times since but it always seems to be hopping. Ditto the Crestview Hills location, and our criteria for Five Guys has been this: "if there are no empty tables visible, we aren't even going in the door."
Luckily we finally got around to visiting at the tail end of the lunch rush, and although the place was still busy, it wasn't so crazy that there was no seating to be had. To be on the safe side however, we laid claim to a table before joining the queue at the counter. Immediately noticable are the bulging bags of potatoes stacked neatly nearby. These are not for decoration; the potatoes will wind up as someone's french fries later on.
The concept is similar to fast food. Orders are taken at a counter and picked up several minutes later at a second counter, with a menu limited to several types of burgers, hot dogs, fries and soft drinks. The difference between Five Guys and your average Burger King or McDonalds is in the execution. The open kitchen insures that diners can watch their selection being made, all toppings are free, and the fries are cut fresh and fried in small batches.
The fries are where this chain really excels. They may be more time consuming to prepare than those of their fast food counterparts, but are delicious and certainly worth the effort and the wait.
The restaurant's veggie sandwich is different from what you might expect. Instead of a frozen Gardenburger or Boca patty, the sandwich consists of a bun and as many of the free toppings as you wish, all for $2.69. Vegetarians will be happy to know that the Five Guys policy is to keep the grilling stations for vegetables and meats separate, so those grilled onions and mushrooms are worry-free. If a bun filled with veggies doesn't appeal, the restaurant also offers the tried and true grilled cheese.
Something to keep in mind with the fries: employees throw in an extra scoop when bagging them up, so a "regular" order (the smallest they offer) is easily enough for two people. Wish we had known that beforehand, as Steve and I both ordered fries and it was way too much.
Vegetarians can't go wrong with the veggie sandwich. It's a flavorsome but very messy affair, and the pile of napkins stuffed into the bag were saturated by the time I was finished eating. Oddly, my hands smelled of the meal for the rest of the day, even after repeated washings.
It is refreshing that more fast food restaurants are starting to cater to the vegetarian diner, and kudos to Five Guys for making it affordable. They aren't going to top Subway for vegetarian-friendly, healthy fare, but as an occasional caloric splurge it's pretty darned tasty.

nutrition information
A mild, lean type of seabass, with a meaty texture that's surprisingly full of omega-3s, but with half the calories of salmon. Delicious grilled, baked or broiled, try barramundi in spicy fish tacos, too.
Mild and sweet with a flaky texture, catfish is packed with protein and a good source of selenium, an antioxidant that helps protect body cells from damage. For a healthier alternative to deep-frying, dredge fillets in a pecan coating and bake.
Cod and Haddock
Mild-flavored and low in fat, cod and haddock contain vitamin B12, important for healthy red blood cells. Both fish readily take on added flavors from spices or marinades, making them among the most versatile fish around. Poach, steam, broil or grill—and be careful not to overcook.
Cracking with zinc and vitamin C, both essential for healthy body cells. Size and appearance differ by type, but crabmeat is low in fat, despite its rich and delicious taste. Enjoy crab in seafood dishes, dipped in vinaigrette or splashed with lemon juice.
Most often sold as steaks, this firm white fish boasts selenium, an antioxidant that helps protect body cells from damage. Try halibut kabobs: thread marinated chunks of fish and veggies onto skewers, then grill.
Mahi Mahi
A sweet, mild flavor and lean nutrition profile make this a fish everyone's sure to love. Plus, it's a source of niacin, which helps produce energy in body cells. Try it blackened: pat fillets with creole spice rub, pan-fry in a hot skillet and top with fruit salsa.
Clams, mussels and oysters offer a slightly salty yet sweet flavor plus selenium, vitamin B12 and iron. Iron is a mineral that helps the blood carry oxygen to body cells. Steam mollusks in their shells or add their lean, tender meat to soups, fish stews and pasta dishes.
Rich in protein, salmon also supplies omega-3 fatty acids, which may help benefit heart health. Bake, poach, grill or microwave salmon fillets and steaks, toss into salads and pastas, or shape into salmon burgers.
Sweet and delicate in flavor, scallops are low in fat and high in vitamin B12. This vitamin helps the body make healthy red blood cells. To keep scallops tender, cook just until they're no longer translucent. Sauté, broil, grill, simmer in fish stew or add to pasta.
High in protein and low in saturated fat. Contains 130 mg cholesterol per 3 oz. serving, but fits into a healthy diet when total cholesterol intake is less than 300 mg daily. Toss sautéed shrimp into pasta and salads or skewer on kabobs and grill.
One of the most popular of all white fish, snapper's firm texture and sweet nutty flavor are ideal for a variety of cooking methods and ethnic flavors—all for just 1.5 grams of fat per 3 oz. serving. Enjoy snapper steamed with black bean sauce or pan-seared with an Asian-inspired sauce.
This economical white-flesh fish is sweet and mild-tasting with a light, flaky texture—and plenty of protein, too. Prepare simply: broil or grill, then top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
Tilapia, Flounder and Sole
These lean, protein-packed fish offer mild, sweet flavor and tender, flaky texture. Simple preparations are best: sauté, bake or broil. Try them en papillote: place fish, chopped vegetables and herbs in a parchment or aluminum foil packet and bake.
Delicious seared, broiled or grilled, tuna is rich in vitamin B6, which helps the body fight infection. It also supplies omega-3 fatty acids, which may benefit heart health. Try tuna steaks topped with fruit salsa, dry-rubbed with spices, or marinated in an Asian-style dressing.

(Austin, TX)Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) today released the following statement on Governor Rick Perry's State of the State speech:
"Governor Perry needs to realize that Texas is not going to build a better future for its families through catchy slogans and bumper stickers.
"Last session, we were told we could not use additional revenue in the Rainy Day Fund to save our children's schools, protect vital health insurance programs, keep financial aid for college students and more. It had to be saved for an even rainier day in the future. Now it can be used for other priorities.
"Today, we are told that we shouldn't invest in Texas, we should just keep cutting taxes, so that the wealthiest Texans get even more of a break, while working Texans get pennies. The governor calls for a $1.8 billion tax cut and says nothing about the $5 billion cut from Texas schools, the $4.7 billion cut from Medicaid, the $1.5 billion cut from colleges and the 43,000 students who lost their financial aid. Those who were damaged by the draconian cuts can just get over it.
"The governor said the state of Texas has never been stronger. Tell that to the tens of thousands of children without health care. Tell that to the teacher who now has 35 kids in class because of the cuts from last session. Tell that to the mother-to-be who cannot get pre-natal care. Tell that to the tens of thousands of Texans who will not get health insurance under the Affordable Care Act because of Texas' short-sighted intransigence.
"We are 44th in child poverty, 1st in percentage of uninsured children, 50th in per capita spending on mental health, 2nd highest rate of families in hunger, 47th in SAT scores, and 50th in percentage of SAT scores, 44th in college enrollment.
"In Texas, everything that ought to be down is up, and everything that should be up is down! That is not strength; it is a glaring reminder of how much more work we have to do to ensure all Texans have the opportunity to achieve their dreams.
"Most Texans are not cheering the results of last session, nor calling it 'success'. Other states trying to out-cut us and encourage a race to the bottom on health care and the environment is not 'success'. More of the same is not going to build a strong future Texas.
"We need to Invest in Texas. We need to ensure we work toward a state budget that is not only fair, responsible, and protects Texas' most vulnerable populations, but also invests in our future and begins to address the needs of our growing and changing state.
"We need to pass Senator Carona and I's bipartisan plan to review our state budget and plan for our future must include a thorough review of tax expenditures and our severely regressive tax system.
"We need to demand the Rainy Day Fund be used to help restore last session's cuts to public education, family planning and health care, expand Medicaid and increase funding for higher education. We don't need to enact risky, failed voucher schemes that will only damage our public schools.
"We need to restore cuts to providers and programs, including family planning and the Women's Health Program. Ensure that the state funds growth in its programs and takes advantage of opportunities to insure individuals, whether it is through expansion of Medicaid or through funds available from the Affordable Health Care Act."

The ONLY way I am going to consider keeping the teams the same & allow Team Fap & Glyde to remain intact is if speckled belly geese go back to 5 points each. I feel like my team would have had a fighting chance if that wouldn't have been changed. I just gave up towards the end & didn't post anything for like the last 10 days of the contest. I hunted everyday but it was so far out of reach I didn't bother posting the pics.
646 is still over 100 points less than 761. You didn't post towards the end of the year and LSUballs didn't post but 9. I hunted with him many days and he could have put our score in the range of 900. Long story short you can make your specks 6 points and you wouldn't have made it.
a bird is a bird
Something tells me common ground will never be reached.
We need a new competition, a field of battle where the two can meet and settle their differences

2004 Sith Lord Mod Version 2
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 06:59 PM MDT | By Switch Designs
This mod is the second version of a mod I created from scratch along time ago. When I first made my Sith Lord Mod I had just started making mods and I didn't know how to model or even how to do a conversion of a pre made model. Originally I wanted to use the Sith Speeder model that I used in this mod but I did not know how to use what I had found, so I made my own which didn't look bad but it did't look anything like this one does. Now that I am more skilled at modeling and modding I thought that I woud give the good model another try and it worked better than the first one that I made from scratch.
The Sith Lord Mod Version 2 will change your Freeway Motorcycle into a Sith Speeder, your Machete into a Double ended Lightsaber, your player into Darth Maul (Player Skin) and it comes with 5 different moon textures to give the game an offworld feel.
You can view all of the offworld moon textures here.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian leaders have agreed to seek a new international conference to end the war in Syria, but Stephen Sestanovich, CFR's top Russia expert, says success will depend on whether "the Russians are prepared to tell [Syrian president Bashar al-] Assad and his supporters that the jig is really up for their regime." Referring to the broader U.S.-Russia relationship, he says the Syria talks indicate a slight rebalancing of ties and that Kerry tried to avoid riling the Kremlin with any
Secretary of State John Kerry met with President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow this week, and the two sides announced they will work to convene an international summit to end the fighting in Syria and get the Assad government and the rebels to sit down at the same table. This has been tried before and hasn't worked. Is there really much enthusiasm on the Russian side for this?
"Enthusiasm" would be stretching it. For two years, the Obama administration has been appealing to Moscow to take a different line on Syria, asking them to distance themselves from President Bashar al-Assad, to support UN Security Council resolutions, with more or less no results. Now there seems to be this new development, and the question is: What produced it?
One thing that has changed in the Syria equation is greater cross-border violence with these recent Israeli attacks aimed at weapons headed for Hezbollah in Lebanon, the reports of chemical weapons use, and probably most important: the greater seriousness with which the United States is considering arming the rebels. That suggests the possibility of a change in Western policy, and it puts pressure on the Russians to reconsider their position or risk being passed by as Western powers take a more activist role.
Lavrov said Russia is not committed to any one leader in Syria, which was not exactly a vote of confidence in Mr. Assad.
They've been saying that for some time--that was actually the formula of last summer's Geneva agreement (PDF), where the leading outside powers called for a negotiated transition, and the Russians insisted they weren't putting their finger on the scales for Assad or his supporters. The Geneva formula has never gone anywhere, but it has been a kind of fig leaf for the Russians to insist that they're actually for a resolution of the political conflict. This week's agreement on a peace conference moves the Geneva formula one step further, but what is one step beyond complete meaninglessness? The real issue is whether the Russians are prepared to tell Assad and his supporters that the jig is really up for their regime.
This week's agreement on a peace conference moves the Geneva formula one step further, but what is one step beyond complete meaninglessness?
In 1999, the Russians told Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic that they were not going to back him any longer on Kosovo, but the difference was then that Milosevic could back down from the confrontation over Kosovo without losing power--at least not immediately. However, in the case of Syria, the entire question is whether Assad goes, so it's a little harder to have a peace conference about that.
There's going to be a lot more reluctance on the part of the Syrian government to attend such a conference, but I would say there is going to be more hesitation on the part of the Kremlin to tell the Syrian government they have to take part or else Russia will back the other side. And there is an interesting issue here: Kerry said if the conference makes progress, there wouldn't be a need to arm the opposition--and that suggests the possibility for a little bit of mischief where the Russians could use the conference to block a decision by the United States and other Western powers to arm the rebels.
And another problem is the United States has to persuade the Saudis and the Gulf States to get the rebels, whom they are arming, to the table.
There are many different groups. Remember the long delays in peace negotiations over Vietnam over the shape of the table--that was really about who would be represented and in what capacity. So attendance to this conference is going to be a central issue affecting whether or not it ever takes place.
Does the fact that these two major powers have agreed on this Syrian effort indicate a warming of their relations?
Kerry was obviously very mindful of that issue in all of his comments in Moscow. He went out of his way to do the gracious things: laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, meeting with veterans, and acknowledging the Russian role in World War II. And while he said there had been some disagreements, he noted that on what he called "really important issues," there had been cooperation, and said it was important to keep our eyes on our strategic interests.
So there is a little bit of a rebalancing there. In the priority of different issues, Kerry is trying to say, "Let me focus on the key geopolitical questions, and we'll let some of the other disputes move at their own pace." He did meet with representatives of civil society, and the leaders of those groups went away satisfied with what they heard from him. But there's a certain shift of emphasis away from Russian domestic political questions to geopolitical issues, and that's probably a relief for the Russian government.
Obama's been talking about another strategic arms agreement, and there's also this question of missile defense. Where do these issues stand?
Obama indicated an interest in further arms reductions in a letter that was delivered to Putin last month by Tom Donilon, the president's national security adviser. And the Americans made clear in briefing reporters that they were hoping there would be an answer to this letter in Kerry's visit. I haven't seen any public reference to that, but it could be that there's a lot of internal Russian sorting out that has to go on before they decide how and whether they want to take the next step on any arms discussions. They have to decide whether they are satisfied by the adjustment in the administration's ballistic missile defense plans, or whether they want to keep treating this as a fundamental threat to their security.
There's a certain shift of emphasis away from Russian domestic political questions to geopolitical issues, and that's probably a relief for the Russian government.
This is the administration's plan to beef up missile defense in Alaska and reduce the emphasis on eastern Europe?
Right. For the Russians, this has been a neuralgic issue, one could say, for forty years since the [Anti-Ballistic Missile] treaty. And it has been particularly contentious in the past few years under the Bush and then the Obama administrations. The Russians keep insisting that U.S. missile defense plans, even though designed to cope with very small threats from potentially Iran or North Korea, undermine their own deterrent. And that's an issue that has made it difficult for the two sides to cooperate on missile defense, which American administrations have proposed for some time.
It's been a year since Putin returned to power as president. What's the mood like in Russia these days? Is the economy thriving? There are no huge rallies anymore. Is that because of repressive tactics?
Let me start with the economy because it has important implications for the rest of it. Plenty of Russians say that the economy is entering a recession, and that this is, in part, an effect of the eurozone crises, because Europe is Russia's largest trading partner. But many other Russians say it is a confirmation that the Kremlin's economic strategy is flawed, and that the government hasn't pursued reform in a serious way. Because of that and other reasons, the elite remains divided. So while Putin managed to claw his way to reelection last year, there's a real lack of conviction in the elites that he has an idea for how to move the country forward. And you saw some of that in the annual call-in show that Putin did last week.
The show lasted nearly five hours, yes?
Yes, and in it, Putin showed himself on top of the most minute problems in the most obscure localities. The moderator at one point said to him, "It seems as though no problems can be sorted out without your involvement." At the same time, they also felt obliged to bring on to the program critics of Putin: former finance minister [Alexei] Kudrin came on to tell Putin that his halfway reforms will not work; a military journalist came on the program to raise the issue of deep corruption in the defense ministry; an independent radio journalist came on to complain about Stalinism in Russian politics. So it was a weird mix of proof that Putin is utterly dominant but vulnerable at the same time. The notion that you had to bring on three critics like this to tell him face-to-face that the country is not reforming and even possibly becoming Stalinist is astonishing. It tells you a little bit about the kind of schizophrenic character of the Putin system right now.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ole Miss coach Billy Chadwick is excited to host the SEC men's tennis tournament at the Rebels' Palmer-Salloum Tennis Center.
He's most excited, however, by the continued progress of one of his top players, Nik Scholtz.
The tournament begins today with Arkansas and Alabama at 2 p.m. Mississippi State faces Kentucky on Thursday night at 7. The Rebels, the tournament's No. 5 seed and ranked No. 6 nationally, will face Arkansas-Alabama winner on Thursday.
They'll have a much healthier Scholtz when they take the court.
"Two weeks ago if someone told me I was going to feel as good as I feel now I wouldn't have believed them," said Scholtz, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Caledon, South Africa.
Scholtz is 19-7 in overall singles, 11-5 in SEC play.
He began to experience pain in his elbow after the Arkansas-LSU trip in late March. The road to recovery was not without pain on the front end.
"I got an injection in my elbow. It's probably one of the most painful things I've ever experienced, but it was definitely worth it. I've been improving a lot," he said.
Scholtz says it's helped him to get back to competitive matches rather than just practice. He was down one set at Texas A&M on Sunday when his match was suspended. The Rebels eventually lost 4-1 to the 14th-ranked Aggies with whom the share the SEC West title.
"The elbow issues slowed Nick down for really the last three weeks," Chadwick said. "He was much, much stronger against Texas A&M."
big advantage
A healthy Scholtz is a big advantage this week, and so is playing at home.
The Rebels are 15-7 overall, 7-5 in the league and 8-3 on their courts.
Chadwick is hopeful of a good showing this week to play at home again in an NCAA regional.
The program's success through the years has helped it develop a strong home following. That could be an even bigger boost with the parity in the SEC. Though Ole Miss is the No. 5 seed it has wins both of the top two seeds, Georgia, which went 11-1 in conference play, and Tennessee which went 8-4.
"Being able to host this tournament, especially in a year where it's wide open, there are so many good teams, we need to take advantage of playing here at home and make it our week," Chadwick said.
Starkville hosts women's tournament
The SEC women's tennis championships begins today in Starkville with No. 12 seed Mississippi State playing No. 13 seed Missouri at 11 a.m. at the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre.
It's a rematch of a contest that MSU (8-13, 2-11 SEC) won at home on Sunday, 4-2 to wrap up the regular season.
No. 11 seed Kentucky plays No. 14 seed LSU at 2 p.m. No. 9 seed Ole Miss (15-12, 5-7) plays No. 8 South Carolina on Thursday at 8 a.m. The winner advances to play top-seeded Georgia on Friday.
The women's tourney concludes on Sunday.

This tweak claims to remove the lockscreen padlock, which it does perfectly, it's completely free, YET it only gets 1 / 5?!?! This tweak does exactly what it sets out to, and is FREE so that surely warrants a 5/5?!?!
On a side note, for anybody talking crap about how this shouldnt be 'front page news', he's just doing his job for writing for the site. Him giving it s 1/5 was his opinion(and a fair one at that). If you dont like the article, witch you probably knew before even opening it and decided to not read it before posting a comment, keep on reading, stop complaining.

If you don't like the prospect of the govt covering those pension obs why would you support a pres that is spending a LOT more on a stimulus plan that is worth about 10% of what they said it would be and a budget that takes our national debt off the freaking charts? I think the pension obligations would be a lot smaller in the scheme of things.
I had this conversation with my stepmom the other day, she is a big Obama supporter and she didnt even know what was going on with the auto companies. I asked her what she thought we, as a country, have gained now that Obama has thumbed his nose to the rule of law and has been implementing his "hug and a handshake" diplomacy......keep in mind, she is a PhD, and the asst super at a very big school district here in Texas, a very intelligent lady.....she couldn't answer me because so far his actions have accomplished nothing!

Provide toppings of sour cream, salsa, shredded cheeses, chopped red onion, chopped ripe olives, chopped avocado and, for the bold, red pepper sauce.

Over a century ago, University of Colorado senior class commencement plays were performed under a grove of large cottonwood trees on the east lawn of Old Main. Prior to the advent of electric lighting, outdoor events were largely confined to daylight hours.
When electric lights became available in 1901, it was possible to play late into the evening and performances started at the fashionable post-dinner hour of 8 PM. After World War I interrupted the 19-year annual tradition, Dr. George F. Reynolds — an internationally-known Elizabethan theatre scholar — administered the theatre program at CU. In 1936, he helped develop the plans for the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre.
Mary Rippon (1850-1935) was the first woman professor at the University of Colorado and the first woman in the United States to teach at a state university. Head of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature, she also served, without financial compensation, as Dean of Women. She was known as a kind, generous, and inspiring teacher who shared the savings from her meager salary with needy students, and whose enthusiasm for life and learning contributed to the enrichment of the entire community.
The Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre was officially completed in 1939, but no plays were staged there until 1944, when Shakespeare teacher and bibliographer James Sandoe was asked to direct a play for the coming summer. Because the University Theatre was occupied by the Department of the Navy due to the war effort, Sandoe decided to try out the Mary Rippon with a production of Romeo and Juliet. Over the next couple of years, he staged The Merchant of Venice (1945) and Henry IV, Part I (1946). The following summer, English professor Jack Crouch took over, which began an almost unbroken progression until today of Shakespeare plays on the Rippon. (The lone exception was 1957, when the annual Shakespeare play was staged in the indoor University Theater.) Crouch directed seven plays over the next 10 years and founded the Colorado Shakespeare Festival in 1958, increasing the summer repertoire from one to three productions with Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and The Taming of the Shrew. He stayed on as executive director through the 1963 season.
In 1973, a record-breaking 16,931 people saw the CSF season during its run of 17 performances. And, with the production of Cymbeline in 1975, CSF completed the canon, becoming only the second American theatre to have done so. The Colorado Shakespeare Festival of the 1970s was characterized by increasingly complex sets (although in 1973 Sandoe's production of Pericles was performed on a nearly-empty stage). In 1974, CSF veteran W. Joseph Zender was commissioned to design a unit set that would allow the shows to return to a simpler primary setting. But by the following year his construction had disappeared and for the next two years, the plays were performed again on a platform stage. Through the years, the Rippon's problematic original design has been continually altered and improved and in 1981 Producing Director Daniel S.P. Yang engaged Richard Devin to make the Rippon space more theatrical and to create more lighting areas on the stage. The changes were dramatic and even today the improvement of the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre continues.
Each summer the festival hires directors, actors, designers and production personnel. Add to these a small administrative staff, apprentices, interns and volunteers and the CSF company may include more than 100 people from around the nation (and even the world).
During the early rehearsal period, a typical workday for many CSF personnel begins at 9 AM and may wind down as late as 11 PM. For the most part, the company is housed in proximity to the theatre and many members cook and eat meals, walk to work and explore the town together — establishing a camaraderie that results in a remarkable esprit de corps, which translates directly to the stage.
In 1992, CSF was named as one of the top Shakespeare festivals in the nation by Time magazine. That same year, the Festival received the Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts and the Denver Drama Critic's Circle Award for "Best Season for a Theatre Company."
CSF is active in community outreach and education year-round, providing performances and workshops to students — including its highly regarded "Twelfth Night Anti-bullying School Tour," seen by more than 12,000 Colorado school children — and a 3-week summer performance training intensive for young actors ages 6-18. Community programs held in the late spring include the "Classics 101" discussion series hosted by the Boulder Public Library and in 2013, the university will debut its "Spring into Shakespeare" program, a collaboration with the departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. Its Education Outreach website is an outstanding resource for teachers, students and "Bardophiles" alike.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|John Desjardins
I'll second Juros comment on the touchy feelly aspect of buying hackles. While all the major name hackle companies have a quality product, there are enough variables in appearance that I don't buy without seeing.
I have looked at some of the Metz & Whiting packs and both looked like a good value. Metz also sells a package with 2 half necks in different colors but I cant remember if it is hen or cock.
On the colors, if it were me I'd go with ginger rather than brown. Its slightly lighter and used in more dry flys I fish.
I'm not against mail order, but for widely varying items like hackles I am real touchy-feely and would never buy on-line. Sometimes the best hackles are in the most obscure shops as well - good hackles get picked out quick at popular shops frequented by many anglers "in the know". Other times the busy shops get a big shipment and if your in when they are stocking the peg you are bound to score with a top notch hackle. In any case if you see great hackles you'd be best off to jump on them - but buying sight unseen is not something I'd do for hackles.
Buying Hackle?
I am interested in tying mostly size 12-16 dry flies and would like to buy hackle in colors such as grizzly, brown, and blue dun. What type of hackle would best serve my purpose? What about quality of hackle?
Cabela's sells packets of three different colored sections of Metz dry fly hackle that can be used to tie approximately 200 flies in sizes 12-16 for $24.95. Is this good quality hackle for a good price? Whiting also sells packages of saddle feathers for various size dry flies. They normall include enough hackle to tie 100 flies and sell for about $10 per pack.
I would like to buy several different colors of quality hackle, but do not need or can I afford to buy three different colored, whole rooster necks. Any advice on purchasing dry fly hackle?

Koula attorneys: "Eric is innocent"
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- The attorneys who defended Eric Koula say they plan to appeal his conviction.
A jury found the West Salem man guilty Wednesday of fatally shooting his parents, Dennis Koula and Merna Koula, at their Barre Mills home in May 2010 and guilty of forging a $50,000 check from an investment account.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the verdict, Keith Belzer and Jim Koby held an at-times, emotional news conference this morning.
When asked how the family is doing, the attorneys gave one word: devastated.
They said time stood still while waiting for the verdict.
"The moments tick by like hours. Everything is in slow motion. In that moment, the fact that a man's life is on the line is so present in your thoughts," said defense attorney Keith Belzer.
It was a moment that came to an end with a word they never wanted to hear: guilty.15355984
"We're all extremely disappointed and somewhat shocked," said Belzer.
The verdict was no easier for Koula's 18-year-old son, Dexter Koula to swallow.
He's been a fixture in the courtroom during his dad's trial and was there when the verdict was read.
"He wanted to be there with his dad, and it was gut-wrenching for him," said defense attorney Jim Koby.
"I was crying too hard to articulate anything that makes sense, but I told him he did everything he could to support his dad. His dad was innocent, we would continue to move forward to prove his dad's innocence, and he was going to walk out of there like a man, and he was going to walk out of there with me," he added.
Missing from the courtroom was Eric Koula's wife, Christine, a decision Koby said was made to protect Koula's 13-year-old daughter.
"We talked about whether Hadley should be there or whether Hadley shouldn't be there, and quite frankly, we decided no matter what the verdict was, it was not a place to have Hadley," said Koby. "Christine wasn't there because I told Christine to be with Hadley. I reported the verdict immediately to them. Everyone is supporting Eric 100 percent. Christine is supporting Eric 100 percent. The kids are supporting their dad 100 percent."
The case represents years of work for Belzer and Koby, effort that is difficult for them to put into words.
"It takes heart and soul," said Koby.
While they may be exhausted, they continue to believe in Koula's innocence and won't give up their fight.
"We went to go see him right after the verdict, and the first thing he said is, 'I didn't do this'," said Belzer.
"Eric is innocent. Eric is guilty, in my opinion, of being scared. Eric is guilty, in my opinion, of being stupid. Lying doesn't make you a murderer. Eric didn't have to get on the witness stand. He got on the witness stand because he's an innocent man, and he told the truth," said Koby.
"There's nothing about that verdict that has changed that for any of us. We will appeal the case, no question," said Belzer.
Earlier this week, the prosecution said they are pleased with the verdict but said no one wins, because nothing can bring Dennis and Merna back.
Eric Koula's sentencing is scheduled for August 20.

Korg 770
An ancient synthesizer from Korg. Aside from being very old, there isn't much else to say about the 770. It was released in 1976, is monophonic, very limited in design, flexibility and sonic possibility. It can make some weird noises largely due to its retro-cool ring modulator. You can also run external sounds through it. Bass, string and lead sounds are ok. It's got a fast envelope, auto bend, and LFO re-trigger too. An ole' classic that's fun to play with and useful if you're in the mood for buzzy analog sounds. It is used by Freddy Fresh, Simple Minds and The Human League.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The key is to determine the right grain weight for this rod, keeping in mind that the range varies with length of the head and thus taper.
Contact Trevor or the guys at T&T for an idea of grain weights to match this rod, or look up the grains for a line you already like and use these general rules of thumb to match a shorter line:
Rule #1 - The shorter the head, the less grains a rod can handle.
I have no experience with your rod model but the Atlantis casts well with 490 grains in a 30ft head, 550 in a 35-40ft head, and 650 in a 55ft head. So in rough numbers, there is about a 150 grain window from 30-55ft in head length.
Rule #2 - The longer the head, the more likely it is to hold the loop for distance
In other words, if you try to cast a 24ft head over 100ft the loop will expire before the cast falls creating a flailing head effect. A 35ft head will hold the loop further, a 45ft even further, etc.
Rule #3 - Longer heads don't fish as well as shorter heads in strip-retrieve / rapid-fire casting situations
If your target species is chasing the fly right to the beach and your ability to fire a follow-up cast is important, a long line will really cramp your style.
Given these rules, my experience with this application would indicate that the best compromise is a 38ft head (or thereabouts) whose grains are matched with your rod -if- you are casting over 100ft and fishing flies with a strip retrieve close to your feet with a two-hander.
Hope this helps; hopefully you should only need to know grain range to make good guesses as to which line you need.
Need help sizing shooting head to spey rod.
Hello. I have a T&T 1307 that I would like to set up with a shooting head system for moderate beach fishing duties mostly in the great lakes. I plan to remove my river line - mid spey 6/7 and affix with loops a SA intermediate sinking running line and 30' sinking heads. This will be exclusively for streamer fishing. I know this is not what this rod is designed for but I think it will work just fine. Now, according to Rio's information the Scandinavian shooting head that matches the rod is a 7/8 which weighs 500 grains. The recommended overhead casting weight for that line is 380 gr which equals 32 feet of that line (it gets cut). Now what my cheap self would prefer to do is transfer that to a standard shooting head. Your help and experience is much appreciated.

Dear Sirs,
could you please let me know if it is possible to run more than one opensees analysis at the same time ? is one single opensees analysis going to finish faster than two or three equally large analyses running at the same time ?
Many Thanks, Giovanni

As the fortune cookie for "Revival" said, "Strength in character can defeat strength in numbers." Steela and Saw seem like promising candidates to start a rebellion, even if their numbers aren't many. It might be a good Jedi strategy to start this new insurgent-training program on a smaller group anyway to avoid attention and potentially go further based on its success or failure - it's more of an initial test than a full-on dedication, it seems.Originally Posted by JediTricks
I'm interested in how this one will play out in terms of both that and the Ahsoka/Lux situation - based on clips shown at CVI, they get a lot deeper into Anakin and Padmé's relationship and its related troubles this season (including how much Obi-Wan actually knows, and a return from Rush Clovis), so having the two storylines and seeing how they impact each other could make for some good character exploration.
