Movie Review
That's what Wesley Gibson's life is. He grew up fatherless, and clearly feels the loss. And now he's a peon among scores of other peons in an office full of gray cubicles. His boss is demeaning, demanding and acts like an overgrown middle schooler. Wesley goes home each night to his girlfriend, and leaves each morning knowing that his best friend will be over to have sex with her while he's gone. His bank account and his self-esteem are both heavily overdrawn.
He's pathetic.
But a quick trip to the drugstore for another refill of his antianxiety prescription changes all that. A beautiful woman next to him in line tells him that his dad didn't simply walk out on the family more than two decades previously. Instead, she says, he was pulled underground as an assassin and lived the gangster life until he was shot to death on the rooftop of Chicago's Metropolitan Building, betrayed by a friend and colleague—yesterday.
Then a gun battle breaks out right there in the the toothpaste aisle.
The beautiful woman is Fox, who, after the two dodge enough bullets to survive the assault, recruits Wesley into the "Fraternity" and begins to train him to avenge his father's death.
The Fraternity is the modern iteration of a secret society begun by a band of weavers (yes, weavers) a millennium before. Wesley's education in assassination takes place in an aging textile mill. There, he and the audience discover that the assassins' targets are "chosen" by "fate" and revealed through a code in the cloth being crafted on the mill's giant looms. The operation's boss, Sloan, reads the codes and hands out the assignments. Wesley's job is to get good at knocking off targets while waiting for the name of his dad's murderer to come up on his hit list.
At least, that what his job seems to be.
Positive Elements
Wesley is obviously worse off for having grown up without a father. In a roundabout way, his listlessness, aimlessness and lack of self-possession underscore the importance of fathers in the lives of their sons. It's also worth noting that Wesley recognizes his apathy as a problem and strives to do something about it. (Unfortunately, he doesn't solve that problem in a healthy way.)
A couple of characters take risks or make heroic sacrifices for the good of others. One is ultimately condemned for lying and taking advantage of others' credulity. Wesley expresses remorse when he is responsible for the death of another Fraternity member.
Spiritual Content
As the sole reader of the code, Sloan puts Wesley in his place using a biblical analogy: "Like an apostle, your task is not to interpret, but to deliver." In other words, Wesley doesn't get to second-guess the assignments Sloan hands him. If fate says a person should die, the person dies. No questions asked.
At first, Wesley struggles with the idea that an unknown force is telling him to kill seemingly innocent people. But Fox defends the idea of trusting fate, saying that horrible things have happened when the messages in the code were ignored. Wesley is assured that the code is fate's way of "maintain[ing] balance in the world," and "forg[ing] stability out of chaos." Wesley is also told that it is his "long-awaited destiny" to join the Fraternity.
During one of Wesley's training exercises, Sloan demands that he curve the path of his bullet around an obstacle and into his target. The technique Wesley uses to succeed seems to be half fancy gunslinging and half Jedi mind trick, as Sloan encourages him to "use [his] instincts."
In the office, Wesley's boss is deliberately profane in an annoying, flippant way. She once exclaims, "Holy s--- on an altar!" A corrupt Fraternity member speaks of breaking the code and using the member's services for selfish purposes: "We can take the Fraternity to heights reserved for the gods of men."
Sexual Content
Wesley lives with his girlfriend, Cathy. We see them sleeping in the same bed on several occasions. Then, when Wesley goes to work, his best friend and co-worker, Barry, sneaks over to his apartment during breaks and lunch to rendezvous with Cathy. Their trysts are shown twice. Once, audiences see his naked backside as he has sex with her in a standing position. (The view of her body is mostly blocked by his.) Another time, he is shown atop her, still dressed in his shirt and tie. From his sexual movements, it's implied that he's stripped off his pants. We also see him buying condoms and hear him comment on their erotic qualities.
Just as abrasive and crude as Wanted's sexual scenes is its sexual dialogue. And the f-word is used multiple times in a sexual context.
Fox is shown emerging from a healing bath. We see her fully naked backside (complete with all of Angelina Jolie's real-life tattoos and some fake ones added for the sake of character development). Wesley and Fox share a prolonged kiss aimed to make Cathy jealous. Fox wears revealing outfits and once, in a short cocktail dress, plays out a prolonged gunfight sequence sprawled on the hood of a car.
Violent Content
Wesley's journey from milquetoast accountant to topnotch assassin takes him through a barrage of brutal training exercises. A fellow sharpshooter named the Repairman punches him in the face again and again. (His nose and mouth are beaten to a pulp.) Another assassin called the Butcher stabs clean through Wesley's hand while training him to knife fight. Wesley returns the favor by slashing the man's neck. Fox pushes Wesley off the roof of the textile mill onto the top of a moving train. When the train enters a tunnel, Wesley is smashed, head-on, into the tunnel's frame.
All of this turns out to be no big deal because the Fraternity possesses a secret paraffin-like formula with astounding healing powers. Soak in the wax bath for a couple of hours and your cuts and bruises magically heal. This process allows Wanted to beat its characters to within an inch of their lives, rinse, and repeat.
Beyond the hand-to-hand combat, the film revels in its shooting scenes. There's target shooting. Car chase shooting. Shooting in a drugstore. Shooting on a train. Animal carcass shooting. Shooting to wound. Shooting to kill. Shooting people who are already dead. Wanted employs the slo-mo effect made popular by The Matrix in which audiences see a bullet in great detail as it hurtles toward its target and makes contact. Blood and flesh fly as it enters the skull of its victim. Sometimes it even backs up and we see the scene in reverse.
And the slowed down shots aren't just trotted out for climactic moments—they're constant.
One assassin obliterates several innocent bystanders en route to putting a hole in his desired target. A woman is shot in the forehead and slumps to the ground, her blood spattering on the wall behind her. The assassin leaps through a plate glass window and takes out several more victims as he falls onto a lower rooftop. Other victims are shot at point-blank range, and one person commits suicide. (We watch from a distance as the bullet strikes home.) Sloan holds a gun to Wesley's head and threatens to kill him if he doesn't shoot his assigned target first. The shooting crescendos to a climactic spree in which at least a dozen people are gunned down and a whole building is practically destroyed. The dead are shown lying in puddles of blood.
There's still more: Besides the shooting, there's the chasing. Early on, Fox demolishes a Dodge Viper as she rushes to bring Wesley to the Fraternity headquarters. She shoots out her own windshield, climbs onto the hood, commands Wesley to drive and proceeds to fire at her foe with two guns simultaneously. Hanging precariously over the edge of the Viper's hood, her head narrowly misses a run-in with a city bus. Later, Wesley and another assassin chase each other through a moving train, which screeches to a halt on a high trestle before plunging into the gorge below.
Violence and the assassin's way of life are glorified by Sloan, who admonishes Wesley, "Insanity is wasting your life as a nothing when you have the blood of a killer in your veins."
Crude or Profane Language
At least four-dozen f-words mix with the bullets. Two-dozen s-words trail along, too, as do a dozen abuses of God's name (one paired with "d--n") and a few misuses of Jesus' name. Other crude words and phrases crop up plenty of times, with "p---y" being a script fave.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Barry makes reference to crushing up a "morning-after pill" and slipping it into the breakfast of a girl with whom he's had sex ("Can't be too safe"). Wesley pops pills to control his constant anxiety attacks and pours beer in his cat's food dish.
Other Negative Elements
When Wesley hollers at Fox to "call the police" after the drugstore shootout, she responds by crashing her car into a police cruiser. Feeling empowered after discovering that he's got the genes of an assassin, Wesley tells off his boss, ending his tirade with, "Go f--- yourself."
Fate. Destiny. Identity. Justice. The art of war. There's no denying that Wanted fires off quite a salvo of philosophical themes. But it's also obvious that these weighty matters aren't the (bullet) point of the film. They're just a thread loosely holding together what the filmmakers are really proud of: bombastic action sequences, a high body count, larger-than-life effects and the sex appeal of Angelina Jolie. Oh yeah ... and a little bit of ironic Office Space-style humor.
Lest audiences be tempted to take the film too seriously, it takes a decidedly deconstructionist turn at the end and disavows any profound morals you might have theretofore begun to assemble in your mind. What we're supposed to remember, Wesley proclaims, is him taking control of his own life. That's the point. That's the punch line. That's life's highest goal. That's the reason I sat through 109 minutes of blazing guns, bloodshed and profanity. But that's not what I Wanted.

This post was submitted by Vic Correro from Writesville.com.
I have to give credit where credit is due. I first saw Darren's use of the 'Add this post to del.icio.us link a while back and decided that I would like to do the same to Writesville.com. I think this is an excellent idea, as del.icio.us is a wonderful resource. Also, Nick Wilson over at Performancing.com gave the additional push I needed to include this feature through his post and free PDF about del.icio.us.
For those of you who are familiar with Typepad, or are using it, the following information will require a tad bit of knowledge with Typepad's advanced template structure. If you want more information on this, see: Advanced Template Sets and Template Tags. Understanding of HTML will also be helpful here.
Now, before I continue. I do want to mention that this is the way that I accomplished the task. As the saying goes: 'There's more than one way to skin a cat'.
So, let's get back to the topic. If you want to create your own del.icio.us link embedded somewhere in your post, you will need to do the following:
Step 1
Create your own template module (call it what you want, but remember the name) that contains the following content:

In this case, I called the above template module 'delicious-footer'. Notice the section of the above JavaScript code that reads: 'Like this post? Add it to del.icio.us!' Replace this line of text with whatever you want to read as the link.
If you don't want this link to pop up in a new window, take out the section that reads: target='new'
Save the file when you are done
Step 2
If you want a separate CSS setting for your link, you'll need to define that in your Styles.css file. For instance, here are my settings for that particular link:
.my-delicious-background { margin: 0; padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px; background: #E7E3C6; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-align: center; }
To get more information on CSS, and its uses, check out this CSS tutorial.
Save the file when you are done.
Step 3
The next step in the process is to reference your module from Step 1 through the 'entry-individual' template module. The entry-individual template module is where the formatting of your individual posts is stored. This is where your knowledge of HTML will come in handy.
This will probably be the toughest part for those unfamiliar with this structure and HTML. You will need to figure out where, position wise, you will want the link to appear. If you notice my site, the link appears near the footer of the post (right above the comments and Adsense ad). This part is completely up to you. However, when you decide where you want to have your link, you'll need to include the following code in that section:

 <$MTInclude module="delicious-footer"$>

I used the paragraph (
) tag here, but that could very well be some other tag of your choosing. Notice that steps 1 and 2 are included in this code ('my-delicious-background' as the CSS style and 'delicious-footer' as the template module).
Save the file when you are done.
Step 4
Publish your blog. You will need to 'Publish All Files' as any major changes (such as to template modules) will need to involve republishing of the entire site.
That's it! You should now have a del.icio.us link added to your individual posts. Now, as far as having people use it, well, that is up to you and your marketing capabilities. That's the part that I haven't quite figured out yet. :)

"Jump Down" is the first single off of Travis Barker's upcoming album, Give The Drummer Some, which is set for an October release on Interscope. The album will feature production from DJ Khalil, The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, RZA, DJ Premier, and Pete Rock, with verses from hip hop heavyweights such as Weezy, Eminem, Pharrell, RZA, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross, The Clipse, Ghostface, among other big names. Barker, who is known for his hard, punchy hip hop remixes, played drums on all the tracks and served as the executive producer of the album. The track was produced by Barker and Chuck Inglish, and has a simplistically fresh synthy breakbeat under some gritty rhymes from Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27 kilometer (17 mile) long particle accelerator straddling the border of Switzerland and France, is nearly set to begin its first particle beam tests.
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/0 ... lider.html
When activated, it is theorized that the collider will produce the elusive Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and "missing links" in the Standard Model of physics and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.[3][1] The verification of the existence of the Higgs boson would be a significant step in the search for a Grand Unified Theory, which seeks to unify three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out only gravity. The Higgs boson may also help to explain why gravitation is so weak compared to the other three forces. In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized novel particles that might be produced, and for which searches[4] are planned, include strangelets, micro black holes, magnetic monopoles and supersymmetric particles.[5]
Hope these people know WTF they are doing.

The Queensland government's troubled internal technology services provider, CorpTech, is set to be kicked off projects for its two biggest clients in the wake of the Queensland Health payroll disaster.
An official review of the group's functions that PricewaterhouseCoopers released yesterday has recommended that control over shared services projects at the state's departments of Health and Education and Training be returned to agencies to prevent further bungles.
The release of the PwC report coincided with the official admission by the Bligh government that the cost of Queensland Health's botched payroll software upgrade had exploded by $209 million and would take three more years to complete.
The emergency funding transfusion is intended to remedy a litany of problems experienced by Queensland's 78,000 health workers, including being underpaid, overpaid or not paid at all.
Queensland Health Minister and Deputy Premier Paul Lucas has confirmed the state will persevere with the rollout of the troubled SAP-based payroll after a separate review by Ernst & Young.
Released yesterday, that review found that reimplementing the system was ultimately less risky and more cost efficient than scrapping it, despite previous problems.
The latest funding commitment by the government is more than triple the original $65 million costing for health payroll project.
Opposition public works spokeswoman
The health payroll project is so unpopular that it prompted industrial action and demonstrations by nurses, who have successfully demanded a say in how modifications are made.
Implemented by CorpTech and IBM, Queensland Health's payroll was supposed to be the model for a shared services project that was then exported across the government.
However in May this year, the Queensland government issued IBM a legal notice to remedy a series of alleged contract breaches that it claimed IBM was required to rectify.
The PwC report said that IBM "asserted that it was not in breach of the contract" and that it asked for "variations giving it further extension of time" to September 30, 2010.
But the government rejected the proposal and the state issued a "notice to show cause" in June, increasing the likelihood of a possible damages claim.
Despite the commitment of new funds to the health payroll project, questions remain over who will ultimately carry out the work.
Of the $209 million, $107 million would be used for "additional payroll staff who are required to deliver the fortnightly pay", a statement from Mr Lucas showed yesterday.
"The remaining costs include around $46 million to pay for software, contractors and experts to deliver the payroll improvements over the first half of 2011," Mr Lucas said.
"Another $55 million [is] for contractors, advisers and IT technicians to deliver the 18-month reconfiguration, which will see the system made more efficient and add enhanced features."

As The Bachelor's drama unfolds, viewers should ask: What's real about "reality TV"?
As I watched the drama ratchet up on the conclusion to ABC's latest edition of The Bachelor Monday night, I couldn't help thinking about The Biggest Loser.
That's because, as my good TV critic pal Aaron Barnhart of the Kansas City Star first reported on his blog, NBC's unscripted weight loss competition misled viewers into believing that ejected contestant Dane Patterson ran a full 26.3-mile marathon, when he was actually picked up by a van somewhere along the route, according to one of Barnhart's readers.
NBC and the show's producers eventually apologized, saying that Patterson was picked up by a van at the 17-mile marker and given a ride for 3 miles so he could get to the finish line before race officials packed up and left.
But if it took a bunch of blog postings from other runners and coverage by a major TV critic to get an admission on this bit of tweaking, what else aren't they telling us about how they stage the show?
Back to The Bachelor, where single dad Jason Mesnick ensured high ratings for the broadcast Monday and tonight by first picking Melissa Rycroft during the pretaped competition, then dumping her during the show's "After the Rose" recap episode for the woman he had originally slotted in second place, Molly Malaney.
Throughout the episode, Mesnick's machinations were played for maximum melodrama, with the Bachelor shedding a boatload of tears as he breaks up with one woman on national television and settles into a deep kiss with another in the space of an hour. Host Chris Harrison insists the finale was not a producer's set-up -- that Mesnick proposed to Rycroft around Thanksgiving and they fell out of love over the holidays.
But no one will convince me the choice to play out this awful melodrama on camera -- instead of resolving everything between the three people and then bringing them on camera to talk about it -- was about anything other than juicing ratings with a spectacle the 7-year-old series had never televised before.
I just hope the guy's young son Ty didn't get too attached to Rycroft -- or Malaney.
That's also why I don't think viewers should get too worked up about this back-and-forth.
It's actually common for couples created on The Bachelor to break up after the show's glamor fades -- most participants just have the good sense to do it off camera.
Here's hoping Mesnick keeps the next breakup to himself -- or gets it out of the way on tonight's concluding "After the Rose" episode.

Nat Finkelstein was a photographer with the photo agencies PIX and Black Star during the 1960s. He was a successful mainstream photojournalist, published in major media outlets. In August 1965, Nat was assigned by Life Magazine to photograph protesters in Washington DC. The protest – known as the Assembly of Unrepresented Persons—was designed to link opposition to the Vietnam War with support for voting rights to create a broader peace and freedom movement. Urged on by a young woman holding a "DEFEND FREEDOM" sign, the protesters tried nonviolently to enter the Capitol to present a "Declaration of Peace." But police intervened and a melée ensued—with Nat Finkelstein there to capture every frame of it.
After the protest, Nat gave his negatives to a messenger from Life's Washington office. Those negatives promptly disappeared. For almost 30 years they remained missing and this hole in the historical record persisted. But fortunately, the contact sheets of the images Nat captured that day were recently re-discovered. Below is Nat's story, as he lived it.
Defend Freedom
Photographs and Story by Nat Finkelstein
First published by The Blacklisted Journalist, 2004
The Free Press is free only to the man who owns the presses. —A.J. Leibling, The Press
Liberty is murdered when the Free Press is Murdoched
It was the eighth of August '65.
There's hardly a person still alive who remembers that date and time and year when insurrections were here and the protest was clear: all comparisons stop there.
I was a stringer with two major photographic agencies, Black Star and Pix. I specialized in civil rights, politics, and the counterculture. I was younger then and still believed that it was possible to change the world 35 millimeters at a time. That as a photojournalist working for nationally distributed magazines, I could contribute to change and betterment:
"Show them the light and they will follow" sort of elitism. The Liberal trap: a fallacy.
BULLET: True that Playboy helped bring about certain temporary changes in societal attitudes towards sexuality. But Hugh Hefner never was and never would be a politically progressive publisher. He was never much more than a brilliant huckster of titillations, sex, and lightweight literature: An apostle of materialism and masturbation, the perfect exemplar of capitalism…
I had a good reputation for handling myself in competitive situations. I had acquitted myself well during Pope John's visit, Marilyn Monroe's circus performance, Castro's visit to the U.N., and the previous Civil Rights demonstrations (as well as fending off sneak attacks of Warhol's pack of grave-robbers, whiners and sycophants).
Furthermore, I was deeply involved in what was then called "The New Left"—both as a journalist and participant. Long before the onset of "The Struggle," I had joined the Y.P.A. in the Fifties and had friends and contacts in the movement. I was trusted. So, when Howard Chapnick, the president of Black Star, was asked by Life Magazine to cover an upcoming anti-war demonstration in Washington, he gave the assignment to me. Before I left, Howard warned me of a feud between New York and the DC office. New York, being slightly more liberal of the the two, was less prone to sucking the Luce/Chenault ass. Sabotage was not unheard of—the rivalry was intense.
I arrived at Union Station in Washington the day before the march was scheduled and met up with a group of kids from Columbia University. They were students of Professor Paul Goodman, a well respected, left-leaning political philosopher, and I spent the day with them. I was surprised that they knew who I was and some of the previous articles that I had published. (This was to rebound on me later.)
As the evening progressed, the group became more diverse, as veterans of the civil rights struggle came in: The DuBois Society, CORE (Congress Of Racial Equality), SNCC (Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee). Fresh from voter registration drives in Mississippi, militants from Newark and Harlem were joining up with kids from Y.A.W.F. (Youth Against War and Fascism). White middle class kids and black militants coming together in an uneasy alliance. Together with the various Pacifist societies, as well as the followers of Martin Luther King, who previously had eschewed the anti war movement, they joined to form an Assembly of Unrepresented People, determined to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right of free assembly in order to petition their government and declare the war in Vietnam to be a racist war.
Neither Martin Luther King nor any of his Southern Christian Leadership Conference were present, here preferring to lend their support from a safe distance. They later lent their full support, but at this point in the struggle, the Afro-American section of 'The Movement' was represented by SNCC and CORE.
At this point I was encountered by a photographer assigned by Life's Washington office (I believe Dennis Brock), who informed me that he was there to assist me and that I would get the best shots by climbing to the roof of the Smithsonian Institute, overlooking the parade route and getting an overhead view. This, of course, would take me away from the action and put me on the sidelines. I refused the advice.
Upon leaving the Mall, the march, led by David Dellinger, Stuart Lynde and Robert Moses was attacked by uniformed members of the American Nazi Party. They threw pails of red paint on the leading marchers, of which I was one.
The Nazis were gently led off by the Washington police. I followed, photographing the entire incident.
The Life representative then asked me if I was shooting in color, & I told him that I was shooting in both color & B&W. In that case, he said, you've got a cover.
When we reached the House of Representatives, the group was divided by Dellinger and Lynde, the pacifist wing. Those that wished to encounter the government's forces should sit on the steps, while the pacifists would absent themselves from any physical action and stand on the side.
A short time after this was done, we were refused entry into the House of Representatives. A young Black lady (wearing a "Defend Freedom" sign) with a young white lady stood up and exhorted the crowd to exercise their legal rights and cross the police lines. At this point, I believe the photos speak for themselves. I was busy doing my job.
But you can observe that the first people to be accosted and intimidated by the police were the Afro-Americans. During the march, an apparently late Nazi threw some of his own paint, and was also roughed up by the police. However, he was not arrested.
At this point, the police forces were led and instructed by a non-uniformed, unidentified man, who apparently commanded the police to be rough. In fact, you can see this man in the pictures. Who he was, no one may ever know.
As you can see from the photographs, the other photographers stayed at a short distance from this action, whereas I was fully involved, as you can see one picture, to the point of being punched in the stomach by a policeman during the melee, even though I was wearing official press credentials identifying me as a photographer from Life magazine. I did my job recording the information before me; the brutality, the obvious concentration on people of color, the fingernails crunching nerve endings, the faces squeezed, the glee of the oppressors, the courage of the kids.
At the conclusion, I immediately headed to Union Station to return to New York. While at Union Station, a messenger from Life magazine sought me out, telling me they needed my color shots immediately as they were preparing for a cover. My ego, at that point bigger than my brains—I was thinking about my picture getting on the cover of Life magazine—handed the film to the messenger and returned to New York. Where I received a chewing out from Howard Chapnick, who told me these pictures would be lost forever, which they were. The black and whites—buried—were not retrieved until recently. Time-Life tells me they no longer have the negatives.
(Until recently I fully believed that there was a bureaucratic or interoffice rivalry that resulted in the lose of the story but in July the New York Times frontpaged a similar instance where an early civil rights [1964] story was similarly "lost": More will appear.)
At that point, I decided to put down my cameras & pick up my militancy. The time for poetry ended, the time for political action began for me. I left for San Francisco soon after, and joined with people such as the Diggers (Emmett Grogan and Peter Cohen (aka Coyote).
As you'll notice from these photographs, there were no "long-haired freaks": no Abbie Hoffman, no Jerry Rubin, no Allen Ginsberg. No pot, no gratuitous violence on the part of the protestors. This came later. It is my firm belief this was done by the so-called capitalist "Free Press." The mainstream media that appointed theatrical clowns such as Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Allen Ginsberg, and Timothy Leary, as representative of the antiwar movement. When actually, the antiwar movement consisted of the students and the ordinary American working class. The mainstream press persuaded middle America that William Burroughs was making opiates the religion of their children while their daughters were getting knocked up by commies and Blacks.
The culture war had begun.

Lower receiver for .223, 6.5, 6.8, 7.62
I have a couple of spare lower receivers and would like to mate one with an upper assembly of a different caliber. Can anyone tell me which other calibers will work with a standard .223 receiver? I know .308 is out, but how about 6.5, 6.8 Rem, or 7.62 x 39? Thanks all.
The other calibers you have mentioned beside the 308 which will not work on the Standard AR-15 Lower. I know the 6.8, 7.62 X39 and the 6.5 uppers will work fine but will use a different magazines. Also believe it or not, the big 458 SOCOM uses a standard 5.56 magazine and will work fine on the standard lower receiver. As you stated, the 308 and 243 receivers are much larger with larger bolts and carriers as well as other parts. Sounds like you are good to go.
They even make .50 BMG uppers for the AR-15.
The numbers are not enough.
6.5 grendel will work
6.5 creedmore will not
7.62x51 will not
7.62x35 will
Do you reload?
Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I'm leaning toward 6.5 Grendel
I'm leaning toward 6.5 Grendel because I want something with more punch at long range. Now I just have to find a place that has some in stock!
Thanks again.
Look at Blackholeweaponry.com for a nice stainless barrel. IIRC they have 24, 20, 18, 16" in 2.64 LBC (6.5 grendel). But honestly I wouldn't even bother with anything shorter than 20" if you are going for 1000 yards.
ARPerformance also makes a 264lbc very nicely priced at $200, ish when they have them in stock. My friend has a 20# 223 wylde spr barrel than he loves!
Les Bauer also makes a 263 lbc barrel.
Hope that helps ya.
The Grendel is an impressive cartridge. I have a lower just begging for a Grendel upper. I just hate the cost and I shoot 300blk so a 308 bolt gun would make stockpiling reloading equipment easier.
It is tempting to build a 1000 yd ar though!

Durban - A campaign to discourage people from giving money to beggars at robots has been launched after reports of motorists being harassed and spat on at a busy Berea intersection.
Members of the Berea Community Policing Forum (CPF) held a placard protest at the intersection of Stephen Dlamini Road (Essenwood) and St Thomas Road on Thursday evening.
Colleen Van Rensburg, of the Berea CPF sector 1, said the beggars posed a safety risk to motorists. "In meetings people complained about beggars banging on car roof and doors if they were not given money. Women are soft targets in most cases.
"They litter, urinate and throw trash on the pavements," she said.
Metro and Berea police assisted CPF members at the campaign.
Several placards read, "Do not give money to beggars" and "Don't encourage people to beg on the street".
They also handed pamphlets to motorists with the following message: "Please don't encourage people to beg on our streets. We ask that you give to your local child welfare or non-government organisation."
Musgrave pensioner Jean Haxton, 74, claims a beggar spat in her face when she did not give him money. She joined the awareness campaign.
Haxton, a regular user of Stephen Dlamini Road, said she always gave beggars a friendly smile and thumbs up when passing in her black Ford Escourt XR3, which they now recognise.
Two weeks ago she stopped at the intersection of St Thomas and Stephen Dlamini with her window halfway down. A beggar approached.
"I see him often. Normally he makes gestures for food and walks past. This time he demanded money from me. He said I don't give him anything. The next minute he spits on my face, bangs on my roof and starts mumbling threats to me."
Haxton sounded her hooter until he left her car. She said no-one came to her aid and she now avoided the intersection for fear of another attack.

Quick hits and notes from No. 25 NC State's 92-73 victory over St. Bonaventure in front of 16,288 fans at the PNC Arena in Raleigh Saturday afternoon.
Play of the game
It came in the first half with NC State leading St. Bonaventure 24-18. The Bonnies' fifth-year senior guard Michael Davenport turned it over when NCSU junior forward C.J. Leslie knocked the ball away into the backcourt. Leslie ran down the loose basketball near the baseline corner, turned, and after taking a dribble or two, lofted a perfect soft lob pass to junior guard Lorenzo Brown for a two-handed alley-oop dunk with 6:25 remaining in the half.
St. Bonaventure immediately called a timeout after the dunk.
Highlight of the game
See the play of the game.
Player of the game
When Leslie comes to play with the type of energy level that he brought to the court Saturday afternoon, he can look like the potential ACC player of the year that he can be. Leslie scored a career-high 33 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field and 13-of-18 shooting from the line. He added eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes.
His previous career-high in scoring had been 24 points that he scored last season in February against UNC in Raleigh. Leslie also set a new career high for field goals made, topping the nine against the Tar Heels the night of his previous scoring career high. Leslie also set new career-highs in free throws attempted and made. His previous personal bests had both came against Texas last season when he made 9 of 16 free throws.
Leslie's 33 points raised his season scoring average from 13.2 points to 15.0 points.
Offense rolls again
It's hard to imagine that it's possible for NC State to keep shooting at this pace. The Pack led the country in field goal percentage at 53.0 percent coming into the game. That number went up to 53.4 percent after the Pack made 32 of 56 shots Saturday, or 57.1 percent of its shots.
The 92 points scored were the third most in a game thus far this year for the Pack, trailing only the 97 in the season opener at home against Miami of Ohio Nov. 9 and 94 rolled up in Puerto Rico on Massachusetts Nov. 16. It was also the most scored against St. Bonaventure, easily topping the 79 points they allowed to Buffalo in a three-point Bonnies victory Dec. 1.
NC State had 21 assists on its 32 made baskets, led by Brown who dished out 11 assists (compared to just two turnovers). Brown established a new season-high of 11 assists and was just two off his career-high set last season against Syracuse.
Wood on fire
Senior wing Scott Wood would have been an easy choice for player of the game had it not been for Leslie. Wood scored 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting, making 5 of 7 three-pointers. He added four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot. Wood has 11 blocks in 11 games this season.
Wood had not scored that many points in a game since he had 23 in a win over Wake Forest in Raleigh last Feb. 4. He has made 10 three-pointers in the last two games combined to pick back up the pace in his pursuit to overcome Rodney Monroe for most career made three-pointers at NC State.
Wood now has 259 career made threes, which moved him into a tie with Clemson's Terrell McIntyre for the 17th most in ACC history. Monroe made 322 in his career, 63 more than where Wood sits. With at least 19 games left, Wood would need at to average 3.3 threes a contest during that span to match Monroe. Thus far this year Wood is averaging 2.6 threes a game.
Howell fouls out
Senior center Richard Howell was one of the few NC State players that did not have much fun Saturday. Howell fouled out in just 12 minutes and was held scoreless, going 0 of 4 from the field. He grabbed five rebounds, and his streak of consecutive games with a double-double was snapped at four.
Howell has fouled out of three games this season, and Saturday was the 10th disqualification of his career. He had not been held scoreless in a game since Jan. 25, 2011, during his sophomore season, against Clemson.
Free throw shooting woes
NC State came into Saturday tied with Clemson for the worst free throw shooting percentage in the ACC at 64.7 percent. They will end Saturday as the worst free throw shooting team in the league after going just 22 of 35 at the line against the Bonnies, or 62.9 percent. That dropped State's percentage for the season to 64.4 percent.
Among those that have really struggled at the line have been freshmen Rodney Purvis, a guard, and T.J. Warren, a forward. Purvis went 0 of 2 Saturday, dropping him to just 14 of 27 at the line for 51.9 percent.
Purvis did make a three-pointer to snap his streak of 11 missed threes in a row dating back to the Oklahoma State contest in Puerto Rico Nov. 17. Overall Purvis went 1 of 5 from long range, making him just 1 of his last 14.
Warren went 1 for 4 at the line Saturday, and he is just 13 of 29 on the year for 44.8 percent. That stat is amazing considering Warren improved his overall season shooting percentage to 68.1 percent by going 6 of 9 from the field for 13 points.
What the win means
NC State improves to 9-2 after winning its fifth consecutive game, the longest winning streak for the Pack since they won six in a row last season from Dec. 18, 2011 to Jan. 8, 2012. St. Bonaventure fell to 7-4 with the defeat.
NC State has also now won seven straight games at home.
The Pack improved to 2-1 all-time against the Bonnies and 56-18 against teams from the Atlantic 10 Conference. Earlier this season State routed the A-10's UMass 94-76.
Other stats of note
- NC State was outrebounded 38-35 overall and 13-7 on the offensive glass. St. Bonaventure also had a decisive 17-8 edge in second chance points.
- The Wolfpack dominated in the paint, outscoring the Bonnies 50-24. State was also much better in transition, owning a 24-8 edge in fast break points.
- NCSU won the turnover margin 14-12 and had a 21-14 advantage in points off turnovers.
- St. Bonaventure's bench outscored State's reserves 44-20.

Talk about a small source of material to use for a movie, considering that the Eitoranger movie is going to be based off a series of skits performed by Kanjani8. Best of all, Kanjani8 are going to star in the movie, which will most likely have them reprise the roles of their alter egos in the film.
Director Tsutsumi Yukihiko (20th Century Boys) will be in charge of directing this new film, and the filming is going to start on March 6. While the Eitoranger segments were meant to be silly, the movie is going to take a more dramatic route with the premise.
The Eitoranger film plans to take us into a city filled with terrorism during the year of 2035, and we will also get to see each character get fleshed out during the story. If Kanjani8 are going to be the Eitorangers in the film, then we might see them bring back some of the elements that made their segments worthwhile.
The movie is scheduled to come out in Japanese theaters around July 28, and you can expect to see Tachi Hiroshi appear in the film as a character known as Captain Silver (Most likely, he will be the hero that will help the Eitorangers reach their true potential as a team.).

MOSCOW, Sept. 30 (JTA) – Vandals have desecrated 14 headstones at a Jewish cemetery in Kurgan, a city of 320,000 southwest of Moscow. Each of the desecrated headstones was smeared with black paint; some were painted with swastikas. This was the second act of vandalism to take place at a Russian Jewish cemetery in September. Vandals recently desecrated 18 tombstones at a cemetery in Malakhovka, a small town near Moscow that from the 1920s to the 1970s had a sizable Jewish population.

All replies
One thing I have noticed is the source file is in a folder called ControlTemplates2. I wonder if this could be the issue. Has this been set up as a virtual directory also? Can you confirm that this webpart works on the original development machine..so there is no issue in relation to the actual webpart itself, and likely to be environment related?
In my case I set "Hidden" atribute to folder "C:\Inetpub"(this is a system IIS folder, as I googled later). When accesing sharepoint site, I get the same error. I unchecked "Hidden" attribute on this folder and included files, restared IIS and this resolved this problem.
One of the main reasons for Parser Error is the difference of NET FRAMEWORK version which both IIS and ASP.NET uses. Possibliy these are using different framework versions.
This could be happen also in case your hosting server uses forward/backward framework versions, or just started to do this.
may be this would be of help.

Police Blotter, Aug. 23, 2011
Crash victims from Denver
Two people who died in a crash Sunday morning on Interstate 70 were Denver residents.
The victims were identified by the Colorado State Patrol as Maria Aurora Valdez Castro, 49, and Jesus Heriberto Leyva Quintero, 50.
Traveling in the same 1997 Ford Expedition as the two deceased victims was 16-year-old Cesar Fabian Leyva Valdez, also of Denver, who was taken to St. Mary's Hospital with serious injuries. Leyva Valdez was not listed in St. Mary's patient directory as of Monday afternoon.
The Expedition rolled three times off the interstate near mile marker 2 after being hit from behind by a semitrailer. The truck driver, 51-year-old Philip D. Guenaga of Victorville, Calif., was not injured in the crash.
Incidents in the parks
Summonses were issued this weekend in two separate incidents at Emerson and Whitman parks, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
On Friday, Evert Lee Sweatfield, 57, homeless, was issued a summons for suspected trespassing in Whitman Park, 424 Pitkin Ave., after it closed for the night. According to the summons, Sweatfield appeared intoxicated and crumpled a copy of his trespassing ticket and threw it on the ground after it was handed to him.
A copy of the ticket was given to the Homeless Outreach Team, who may try to contact Sweatfield when he is sober to re-issue the ticket, according to the summons.
On Saturday, Erin Christine Corvin, 30, homeless, was issued a summons for suspected indecent exposure at Emerson Park, 316 S. Ninth St. According to the summons, an officer found Corvin sleeping in the park with her full buttocks exposed and her pants pulled partially down.
Man huffing near school
Patrick Lynn Racine, 41, 972 Walnut Ave., was issued a summons Friday for allegedly inhaling toxic vapors outside Tope Elementary School, 2220 N. Seventh St., according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
Racine was contacted by law enforcement near a shed on the school's playground, according to a summons.
An officer observed Racine inhale from a can of RCA Dusting Air, an act known as "huffing," according to the summons, which stated Racine stopped huffing when he saw the officer.
According to the Grand Junction Police Department:
Child pornography was downloaded in the northeast part of the city on May 8 and May 18.
Gerald Nelson, 62, 1835 White Ave., Unit 2, was issued a summons Saturday on suspicion of physical harassment through unwanted touching at 1835 White Ave.
Darlene Rentie, 42, 1028 Ute Ave., was issued a summons Wednesday on suspicion of disturbing the peace through yelling.
A thief entered a fenced-in construction area Friday in the 2500 block of Foresight Circle and removed property valued at more than $1,000.
Items valued at less than $500 were stolen Saturday from a vehicle in the 600 block of Santa Clara Avenue.
A thief stole items valued at less than $500 on Aug. 16 from an unlocked vehicle in the 2800 block of North Avenue.
The Mesa County Sheriff's Department report for Monday was blank.

Senex has intersected 384 feet (117 meters) of net gas pay following the completion of drilling and casing of the Paning-2 unconventional gas exploration well in the onshore permit PEL 90, in the northern Cooper Basin.
Paning-2 is the first unconventional gas well to be drilled in the region and has confirmed the potential of the tight sands and deep coals to host material gas volumes.
The well drilled into a 13-square mile (36-square kilometer) structure – which Senex estimates to contain 2.1 trillion cubic feet of potential gas in place – and intersected 154 feet (47 meters) of net gas pay in the Permian tight sands and 230 feet (70 meters) in the deep coals of the Patchawarra Trough.
Senex's Managing Director Ian Davies noted that the result highlighted the untapped potential of the company's interests in the northern Cooper Basin.
"Paning-2 confirms the potential of the Patchawarra Trough and the northern Cooper Basin as a new province for unconventional gas exploration. Following the success of the well, we will continue to test for similar targets across the region," Davies said in the company's disclosure.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hi. I'm Steve. I'm sorry to hear about your TV. I will try my best to give you a precise and accurate answer.
The TV is faulty. If you still have audio, I would suspect the YSus or YBuffer boards. To track it down more precisely would require you to remove the back from the set and start troubleshooting with a multimeter. I can help there.
Can you do that?
If not, then you're facing a bill in the $300 range and up. keep your eye on the cost of new 50" plasma TVs - about $500.
Let me know how you want to proceed.

Manufacturers Display Vast Product Sampling
April 6, 2009
CHICAGO - Valves, motors, and drives are intricate components necessary to the proper and efficient functioning of HVACR units across the industry. The category is vast and there were many manufacturers at the 2009 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) ready to show their improvements, innovations, and new technologies in this class of industry equipment.
Apollo Valves (www.apollovalves.com) featured four new valves, concentrating many of its efforts on meeting the permissible lead leaching requirements of ANSI/NSF 61-8 (2007). New valves that qualified as being made from low lead bronze include the 70L Series Standard Port NPT Low-Lead Bronze Ball valve; the 77CL series Low-Lead Bronze Full Port Ball valve; and the 34A Series Model MVA Master Mixing Valve. The company also introduced the 34B Series Model MVB Dual Purpose Master Mixing Valve. The 34A Series is ASSE 1017 certified and 34B series is ASSE 1070 certified.
Asco Valve Inc. (www.ascovalve.com) displayed new features on its line of valves. The 8214 Series gas valves were released with new phalanges. The 8220 Series hot water/steam valves are heavy-duty and prime for high temperature fluids. They newly feature a screw top with a Teflon diaphragm instead of a piston.
Danfoss Inc. (www.danfossdrives.com) highlighted its new VLT® Low Harmonic HVAC drives that continuously regulate the network and load conditions without affecting the connected motor. The drives do not increase winding stress or reduce motor bearing lifetime. They have the same modular build-up as the company's standard high power drives and share similar features, including high energy efficiency, back channel cooling, and user-friendly operation. Ranging from 250-1,000 HP - matching drive frames D, E, and F - the voltage range on the drives extends from 380-480 V AC at 50-60 Hz.
Eaton Corp. (www.eaton.com) expanded its motor and load protection solutions with Motor Insight™, the first offering from its Intelligent Power Control Solutions family. An overload and monitoring relay, the unit features solid-state line, load, and motor protection with ground fault detection, power voltage and current monitoring, and flexible communications. It allows adjustments to be made to overload settings without disconnecting the power. In addition, it provides an enhanced capacity to withstand surges. Motor Insight has an IP20 rated terminal block, a user interface with an LED display, and three operating voltage options - 240, 480, and 600 V.
Emerson Climate Technologies (www.emersonclimate.com) showcased its new Rescue EcoTech™ high efficiency direct-drive blower motor. According to the company, it provides contractors with new opportunities to provide home- owners the energy savings and improved comfort desired while saving time with installation as simple as a conventional PSC. It installs into existing furnace and air-handling applications without complex wiring modifications or changes to the system controls. Featuring wide application coverage, active airflow management, and Emerson's motor control technology, the EcoTech offers contractors an energy-saving solution by upgrading the motor in a customer's current furnace or air handler.
Fuji Electric Corp. of America (www.fujielectric.com) displayed its Frenic-EcoPAK drive. Most commonly used for variable torque fan and pump applications, the unit offers flexibility with two contactor or three contactor bypass; two contactor bypass with drive isolation switch; and non-bypass. It features an LCD screen, an LED keypad, a built-in PID control with sleep function, a quick-start programming menu, damper control, and PC software for drive set up and monitoring.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. (www.meau.com) introduced the Power Gate 18 pulse bypass system as well as its standard Power Gate bypass system. Both offer a three contactor bypass configuration as standard, along with a built-in PID control and a disconnect. Average set up is less than eight parameters and each has a multifunction programmer and display unit. The 18 pulse unit meets IEEE519-1992 at input terminals and meets the utility demands for improved total power factor, reduced harmonics, and overall improved efficiency.
NovaTorque (www.novatorque.com) released the PurePower™ 1000D motor control drive module and the PurePower™ 250 ultra-efficient electric motor. The 1000D control drive provides control for the company's PurePower Series motors with up to 100 watts of continuous output power. It features power factor correction; constant airflow, torque, and speed operating modes; sensor-less algorithm with sinusoidal commutation and selectable PWM rate; and advanced blower features. The patented 250 electric motors measure 115 mm OD with 240 V nominal voltage and 1,200-rpm nominal speed. According to the company, it is suited to save power in variable-speed, high-duty cycle applications.
Packard Inc. (www.packardonline.com) launched its Universal Motor Run Capacitor. Manufactured to OEM performance and reliability requirements, it is protected to 10,000 AFC and has safety features including full interrupted protection and thermal fuse. According to the company, internal modular construction ensures cooler running and more efficient heat dissipation. Single post failure does not render the unit unusable, unlike single wound, multi-tapped capacitors.
Spartan Peripheral Devices (www.spartan-pd.com) highlighted its 100 psi high pressure cartridge. This new valve has the control of a globe valve and the features of a ball valve. Its benefits include compact installation, lower cost, CV change without valve body removal from pipeline, serviceable replaceable packing, and union solder, flare, and thread connections. The company also showcased new three way female threaded zone valve bodies. The low cost bodies are cast in high quality bronze to prevent dezincification.
Techtop Industries Inc. (www.techtopind.com) Green Series motors were the center of the company's display. Classed as a NEMA Premium® motor, the three phase-TEFC unit ranges from 1-200 hp. It is aluminum up to 215T and cast iron to 200 hp. The green motor has one way brass T-Drains installed; removable feet up to 326T frame; a split conduit box that is 90 degrees rotatable; and IP 55 compliant seals and gaskets.
Yaskawa Electric America Inc. (www.yaskawa.com) showcased its low voltage AC7 Matrix Converter, an alternate power converter for induction motor drives, which is capable of producing a direct ac/ac conversion without the need for a dc link circuit. This technology has enabled the AC7 to turn ac input voltage into variable ac output voltage and offers efficient operation in all four motor operation quadrants. It uses an array of semiconductors known as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) to connect the three phases of supply directly to the motor. By correctly sequencing the operation of these switches, the voltage and frequency of the output to the motor can be precisely controlled.

Hi There,
I have recently acquired a home with a 2 acre property and home to 6 different apple trees and two pear trees. Unfortunately, they were very neglected and overgrown all the way down to the ground and covered in a kind of black fungus looking thing on their bark. We still got alot of fruit from them in the spring and it was very yummy....some of the apples had alot of spots on them like they didn't get enough sun on them or something.
We have since trimmed them right back and gotten the branches off the ground now....just wondering if there is anything more we can do to improve the "fungus" looking growth on these trees?? Please advise me as I am a "newbie" to this whole thing
Thanks in advance for any advice!.
Your best bet would be to take a sample of the black fungus to a local garden center and have them take a look at it. They will be able to tell you what to do and any spraying needed. Fruit trees need maintainance and regular spraying yearly.

Designers: Charles and Ray Eames
Graceful silhouette, innovative comfort features, timeless design. Obviously Eames. The high-backed lounge chair has a deep, comfortable "sitting pocket." A matching ottoman is available, and the chair now has new finish and material options with a 4-star base.
Eames Aluminum Group Ottoman$880.00 Shop now
Free ShippingLearn More
It's a trick only Charles and Ray Eames could pull off: Chairs designed in 1958 as outdoor seating still look both classic and contemporary in 21st century interiors. The lounge chair's clean, curvilinear lines enhance any décor, and the new 4-star base suits the lounge perfectly to your home. Available in fabric, vinyl, or leather, the lounge chair conforms subtly to your body's shape and maintains your comfort.
A major technical achievement.Charles and Ray Eames View Design Story
You can create a lounge chair in leather, vinyl, or fabric in lots of colors, including some prints. If you choose leather upholstery, you can opt for our standard leather or our new premium leather, a semi-aniline, dyed leather with 100 percent natural full grain. Color variations and surface marks are an inherent characteristic of this material, which will acquire wrinkles and creases and develop a rich patina over time. The new premium leather is available in black and pearl.
To complement the lighter materials—including pearl, the white leather—we are also offering powder coat finishes on the base and frame in white and graphite satin, along with polished aluminum.
Returning to a 4-star base brings this enduring design back to the Eameses' original intent. The chair now looks even more at home…at home. If you're looking for a classic, comfortable lounge chair for any room in your home, take a look. It comes with glides that work on both hardwood floors and carpet.
A continuous piece of seat-back upholstery stretched tautly between the aluminum side ribs makes a flexible pocket that provides support as you sit.
The chair has a built-in swivel mechanism, and the chair with the optional tilt-swivel also has a padded headrest.

Are you crafty? Does everything you touch come out perfectly?
I'm creative; however, being "crafty" doesn't come completely natural to me. Oh, I'm good with languages, good with writing, I may even have a "flare" for ideas …. actually producing finished crafts, not so much. I can crochet a straight line (don't know what anything is called), and if you go "back and forth" you can end up with a scarf or a shawl! Other than that, well let's just say, "the buck stops here".
I have managed to knit 2 beautiful baby sweaters (with the help of a friend); can I do it today? NO. I don't even remember how to get the yarn on the knitting needles! I've sewn pretty skirts, and tops (with the help of my mom, or the help of a friend); can I do it on my own today? NO.
So I stick to dreaming. It's free to dream. I also stick to doing what comes naturally to me: writing. I maintain my blog, I write in my journal, and I go so far as to even do little collages. That's the extent of it.
For those of you that are fabulous with their hands, there is a site (for crochet lovers) that I enjoy popping into every so often: Crochet with Raymond. I think Alice is very talented; her blog has such beautiful, colourful photography. You can even view ***Links to her patterns and tutorials!***, like her:
- Granny Cowl Love
- Granny Tea Cozy
- and much much more!
I might be brave enough to try one of her tutorials, one day.
What do you think? Will you try making one of her patterns?

Rd. 5: Mahan def. Poulter, 4 and 3
MARANA, Ariz. -- Hunter Mahan is one match away from a successful title defense after beating the 2010 champion, Ian Poulter, in the semifinals.
Mahan has now won his last 11 matches -- and he hasn't trailed since the sixth hole of his 2012 opener, a span of 166 holes. He is looking to become the first player to successfully defend his title since Tiger Woods in 2004 and '04.
In Poulter on Sunday, Mahan was facing one of the game's virtuoso match players but he never let the Englishman get the edge in the blustery conditions.
Mahan won the second hole with a 4-footer for birdie but the match went back to even after the American made bogey at No. 4. Poulter returned the favor at the next hole, though, and Mahan never trailed again.
Mahan got up and down for birdie at the par-5 eighth to make the turn 2 up. He chipped in for birdie at the 12th to go 3 up and won the 14th with a par to pad his lead. When the two halved the driveable 15th with birdies, the match was done.
"I'll tell you what, it's easy to get up for Ian because he's so good in match play," Mahan said. "He's such a competitor. He's never going to be out of a hole. He's always going to find a way. Today I played really well, got up and down from a lot of tough spots, and my short game definitely carried me today."
Mahan said the winds that were gusting to 30 mph made the match extremely challenging. "On a golf course like this where kind of accuracy is premium, and the wind the way it's blowing, it's difficult out there," he said.
Poulter, who has a 22-10 record at the Accenture Match Play Championship, said he was "personally disappointed.
"I think I would like the outcome to have been slightly different, but Hunter played very solid today," Poulter said. "He chipped it unbelievably well when he had to, and I think there was a key turn around 11 or 12. I had a putt there to win the hole on 11 from about eight feet and I missed it, and then he hit the wrong club on 12, gone flying through the back of the green. I put it in position on the back of the green, he chipped in.
"Huge turnaround there. I could have changed that match around at that point there. And from that point there was no letup. ... I think it was tricky this afternoon with the wind, and it was very tricky to go at some of those pins. It made it difficult."
SCORECARD STATS: Mahan made five birdies and two bogeys. Poulter made three bogeys and two birdies, both of which came in his last three hole.
HOLES WON: Mahan won five holes. Poulter won one.
NEXT OPPONENT: Mahan plays Matt Kuchar, who beat Jason Day 4 and 3 in the other semifinal. The championship match will begin at 2:15 p.m. ET (12:15 p.m. MT). Poulter will play Day in the third-place match beginning at 1:55 p.m. ET (11:55 p.m. MT).

text: Johannesburg - Employers are fully to blame for the wildcat strikes rocking the mining industry, Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said on Tuesday."The people who must shoulder all the blame for these wildcat strikes are the mine bosses," he told media in Johannesburg.He blamed Impala Platinum [JSE:IMP] bosses in particular for the strikes."Impala committed a grave error in offering an 18% increase to one category to the exclusion of the rest of workers."He said this had raised expectations among workers."The collective bargaining system is currently under threat not because of the Num, but because the employers miscalculated," Vavi said.Workers have been involved in wildcat strikes at Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] (Amplats), AngloGold Ashanti [JSE:ANG] and Samancor Chrome Western Mine, among others.National Union of Mineworkers (Num) general secretary Frans Baleni said five people had been killed on Sunday in the Rustenburg area."Two of those five were Impala employees," he said.Baleni said the killings came after Amaplats threatened to dismiss workers who did not return to work on Tuesday to face a disciplinary hearing."In our evaluation, this is linked to industrial action," he said.Police were not immediately available to confirm the killings. * Follow Fin24 on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.


text: Public Health Sciences The health sciences major at Hamline is an interdisciplinary field of study through which students focus on health issues in local, national, and international arenas from a variety of perspectives. The major builds on connections between the liberal arts and the core concerns of public health, with the recognition that issues of human health are complex and influenced not only by human biology and statistics, but by all aspects of the human experience. The health sciences major is an excellent choice for students interested in any aspect of healthcare from the clinical applications to international aid, law, policy, and social work. Students interested in attending medical school or other health professional schools can pursue the health sciences major, however it does not include all the prerequisite courses required for application to such programs; they would have to take additional courses in addition to the health sciences major requirements. The Public Health Sciences Major prepares students for jobs or advanced study in wide range of areas including health promotion, chronic disease prevention, health education, health and wellness program development, health policy and law, environmental and occupational health, epidemiology, infectious disease prevention, food safety, behavioral and mental health sciences, community health, and international/global health. Students planning to pursue graduate study in Public Health should check the admission requirements of the programs they are interested in applying to, and make sure they are completing all required prerequisite courses. Students wishing to pursue a health professional degree (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, physician assistant, chiropractic medicine, etc.) after graduation from Hamline will need to complete an additional series of required prerequisite courses before applying to one of these programs. These courses will need to be completed in addition to the Public Health Sciences Major courses. All students interested in admission to a health professional program should work closely with a Pre-Health Advisor to make sure they are completing the appropriate prerequisite courses. Learning Outcomes The purpose of learning outcomes at Hamline University is to ensure that our mission and values are realized in what our graduating students know, value, and can do.

Residents of the Cleveland-Akron metro area must have clean consciences: They sleep more soundly than anyone else in Ohio.
The Cleveland-Akron metro area, which includes Tallmadge, was 41st on SleepBetter.org's Sleepless City Index. The study – using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey – ranked the 100 largest metros in the country in terms of how bleary-eyed residents are each morning.
The vast majority of C-Town-Akron area residents get a good night's sleep, with only 20.2 percent not getting enough sleep more than half the time.
In contrast, Columbus was No. 7 on the Sleepless City Index, with 23.1 percent of people saying they don't get enough sleep more than half the time. Dayton was No. 11, with 22.9 percent of residents suffering from sleep deprivation. Cincinnati was No. 26 (20.3 percent suffer from sleeplessness) and Toledo was 32nd, with 21 percent of its population not getting enough sleep.
To determine the rankings, SleepBetter calculated the average number of days per month that respondents reported inadequate sleep, as well as the percentage of respondents reporting inadequate sleep more than half of the time.
For example, folks in Kansas City, Mo. average 8.5 days a month without enough sleep – perhaps because of over-indulgence in the city's famous barbecue. But only 20.2 percent of K.C.-area residents say they don't get enough sleep more than half the time, giving it an overall ranking of 48th.
Charleston, W.Va., is the most sleep-deprived city in the country, with more than a quarter – 27.5 percent of residents – reporting they don't get enough sleep more than half the time.
Knoxville, Tenn., had the second-highest sleeplessness score, with 24.1 percent of folks there not getting enough sleep more than half the time. Paducah, Ky., was third on the Sleepless City Index, with 25.6 percent of people not getting enough sleep more than half the time. Colorado Springs, Colo., came in fourth (23.8 percent) and Madison, Wis., was fifth (24.7 percent).
Sleeplessness is becoming an epidemic in the United States, the study's authors warned. They noted that lack of sleep affects physical health, weight, cognitive function, relationships and productivity, and increases the risk of accidents.
