ST. PETERSBURG — Louis Russell felt sick with worry at work Wednesday morning.
A gut feeling told him to go check on his home in the 4100 block of Iris Street N. Five days earlier, he had been burglarized.
When he pulled into his driveway about 10:30 a.m., he saw a man slipping out the back door. He had been burglarized again.
Russell was struck, too, by the silence. His red-nosed pit bull, Achilles, wasn't barking.
He found the white, 5-year-old dog on the floor in the hallway, covered in blood.
Achilles was shot twice — in the right eye and right shoulder, police said.
Russell grabbed the 80-pound dog. He was breathing, but felt like a rock.
St. Petersburg police rushed the dog to Noah's Place Animal Medical Center in a cruiser, Russell said.
About five hours later, Russell got a call from the veterinary hospital. His buddy had died.
"He's a tough guy," Russell, 27, said Friday. "But he can't stop bullets, you know?"
No one has been arrested in the case.
The burglar was a black man in his early 20s, about 6 feet tall and 175 to 180 pounds. He had short hair, police said, and was wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt.
He drove away in a 1980s-model, two-door Buick Regal with tinted windows and 20-inch chrome rims.
Achilles was in his cage during the first break-in, last week, when the burglar entered through a glass window in the rear door.
Russell's valuables, mostly electronics, were stolen, police said.
Russell did not report the first burglary, he said, because he didn't want his landlord to know about the dog.
The second time, the rear door was forced open.
Outside, police found parts of a Nintendo Wii the burglar dropped as he got away. Inside, they recovered shell casings from a large-caliber handgun.
Russell, who works as an auto detailer at a dealership on U.S. 19, is looking for a new place to live. He can't stand to be in the home where Achilles slept on his bed and barked at the doorbell. Achilles greeted all with a wagging tail.
"He was a sweetheart," Russell said. "All my friends loved him. My girlfriend's kids played with him all the time."
"It doesn't even feel like home now."
The other day, Russell picked up Achilles' ashes. A police officer was kind enough to donate $100 toward the veterinary bill, he said.
Anyone with information about the crime was asked to call police at (727) 893-7780, or anonymously at (727) 892-5000 or by text at (727) 420-8911.

While Japan's alliance with the United States benefits the stability of the Asia-Pacific region, close ties with China will also be needed if Japan wants to reap the benefits of its neighbor's booming economy, new Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba said Monday.
During a group interview at the foreign ministry, Genba, who was appointed by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda last Friday, said Japan will abide by a 2006 U.S.-Japan accord on relocating U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma farther north in Okinawa, while working to mollify local residents fiercely opposed to the plan.
In the meantime, Genba — who at 47 is the youngest foreign minister since the war — said Japan must create a "strategic partnership of mutual benefit" with China and consider ways to gain from the Asia-Pacific region's robust growth.
"We face a dwindling birthrate and an aging population — Japan's population is expected to shrink below 100 million by 2046," Genba said.
"In this situation, we must find ways to maximize growth opportunities, and consider demand in the Asia-Pacific region to be Japan's demand. There are 4 billion people living in this area," he said.
Genba, who served as state minister for science and technology policy as well as state minister for space policy under former Prime Minister Naoto Kan, has little known background in foreign policy. But the Fukushima native did graduate from Matsushita Institute of Government and Management before entering politics, a distinction he shares both with Noda and his predecessor, Seiji Maehara.
In addition to handling key disputes with the U.S., including the Futenma relocation issue and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade liberalization talks, Genba will have to calm tensions with China, which spiked last September when a Chinese fishing boat collided with Japanese Coast Guard vessels near the disputed Senkaku islands.
Noda, a fiscal hawk and former finance minister, appears willing to participate in the TPP, and Genba as well seems to be an advocate of the talks.
"We basically need to move forward with high-level economic partnerships, but domestic problems will need to be addressed for the TPP to be successfully implemented," Genba said, explaining that efforts will need to be made to prevent harmful rumors from further hurting agricultural exports.
A growing number of countries are restricting imports of Japanese farm produce, alarmed by the threat of leaking radioactive material from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 power plant contaminating the local food chain, and the lack of prompt government disclosure.
Genba said it was also important for the government to set up a system that can compensate farmers for any economic losses they might suffer as a result of joining the TPP, while working to increase farm exports and its share of GDP.
"As foreign minister, I intend to make full use of overseas diplomatic missions to prevent harmful rumors, or else we won't be able to export farm produce," he said.
Regarding nuclear policy, Genba said the nation should work to gradually reduce the number of nuclear reactors while simultaneously replacing old ones with new ones to improve safety.
Shibano found hanged
A former lawmaker charged with fraud and tax evasion apparently hanged himself Monday, hours before the Tokyo District Court was to rule on his case, police said.
An executive of Nippon Chuyu Corp., a Tokyo-based biofuel developer, found Taizo Shibano, a 60-year-old former House of Representatives member and former company president, hanging in his office at around 9:15 a.m. He was taken to a hospital, where he was confirmed to have suffocated.

Q. How long do I have to wait until I can buy again after my short sale? Will housing prices pass me up when I'm ready? Chloe.
A. I can offer some encouraging answers to both of your questions.
First, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced that it has changed its guidelines to allow certain people who have short sold, been foreclosed on, did a deed in lieu, or went through bankruptcy to get a new loan after only a year. Previously, the rule was three years, but the agency has decided that those affected by a recession-related event should be given more grace.
To qualify for this new allowance, buyers must show that they experienced a loss of income or had their income reduced by more than 20 percent for reasons that were out of their control. The rules also state that the loss or reduction of income should have occurred for at least six months. Borrowers must show that they have fully recovered from the hardships and complete housing counseling. This new rule started for loans as of Aug. 15 and runs through Sept. 30, 2016.
The answer to your second question is not something that anyone knows for certain. But two things make me think the crazy pace of housing price increases will slow down. Last week Fannie Mae released its August 2013 Economic and Housing Outlook, which states, "Home prices are expected to continue to climb, although the pace should slow significantly from the dramatic levels seen during the past 12 months."
Another factor to consider is that, according to PropertyRadar, one third of Californians are still underwater on their mortgages as of July. With such a large percentage of home owners still waiting for values to go even higher, some of them will end up being traditional sellers as values increase and some ultimately will decide on some sort of distressed sale. Either way, the inventory of homes likely will increase from the absurdly low levels that we've seen which, in turn, will keep values in check. I hope this helps.
Chris Diaz is the founder of Charis Financial, Inc. He has more than 15 years experience helping homeowners with mortgages and has closed hundreds of short sales over the past four years.

In the beginning, my first reaction to social media was suspicion. I was an old-school broadcaster who couldn't see journalism surviving in a world where everybody was a reporter. As night followed day, news would ultimately drown in noise.
Ironically, the desire to prevent that from happening led me to embrace the social web. I wanted newsrooms to do more than simply adapt to digital disruption. I saw it as an invitation to the news industry to start again.
Storyful is the first news agency of the social media age. We separate news from noise. We discover and verify the most valuable content on the social web. We help the world tell its stories in the first person.
What defined us from the beginning was partnership. Storyful's technologists and journalists work hand in hand to discover and verify valuable content. Storyful's video network helps uploaders and publishers share revenue from user-generated content.
We built our success on partnerships. We're going to become a global force through partnerships. Today, I'm happy to announce Storyful has been acquired by News Corp.
Storyful has worked with News Corp companies like The Wall Street Journal for some time. We've developed a collaboration of like minds, dedicated to innovation in all areas of the news business, from editorial to product and business development. In News Corp, we found a big company prepared to think like a start-up.
We join News Corp at a moment of transformation. Together, we will combine the authority of premier original content with the authenticity of user-generated content. We will define the opportunities that the digital landscape presents rather than simply adapt to them. Ours will be a powerful and unique partnership.
Storyful will continue to operate as a stand-alone organisation from our headquarters in Dublin. Our global team of journalists will continue to cover real-time news 24/7. Our technology teams will continue to build tools to power the newsrooms of the future. We will continue to serve the world's leading news organisations (with more resources and focus). And we will work with brands, advertisers, non-profits and other organizations to help them realize the full potential of verified video and other online content.
Above all, Storyful will honour its partnership with the awe-inspiring community of reporters, thinkers, activists, pioneers and entrepreneurs making journalism fit for purpose in the social age.
Today is a good day for that movement. Social journalism is no longer a problem for the news industry … it is a solution.

Uncoupling of Terminal Decomposition During Anaerobic Degradation in Northern Wetlands
Collaborators: Jeff Chanton (Florida State University), Khrys Duddleston (University of Alaska Anchorage), Juliette Rooney-Varga (University of Massacusetts Lowell)
Northern peatlands are large natural sources of atmospheric methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. The production of methane is an anaerobic bacterial process, and in most instances about 2/3 is derived directly from acetate, the remainder from hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
Our recent studies funded by the National Science Foundation indicate that acetate is not converted quantitatively to methane in many northern wetlands, but is itself a product that accumulates (Figure 2), and eventually is converted to carbon dioxide, a much less powerful greenhouse gas (Hines et al., 2001; Duddleston et al., 2002). Therefore, even though northern wetlands are currently large emitters of methane, one of the major paths to its formation is not operating. However, this situation is poised on the brink of change because the relative formation of anaerobic end products, and therefore methane emissions, may vary in response to climate change.
We are testing the hypothesis that pathways of carbon flow at the terminus of anaerobic decomposition in northern wetlands vary in response to subtle changes in the abundance of sedges. The primary goal is to conduct field studies to establish the relationship between moss and sedge distribution (and other vascular plants) and pathways of anaerobic degradation. This is being accomplished through incubations of peat collected along vegetation gradients, biogeochemical measurements, and the use of stable isotope and radiocarbon methods capable of discerning the path of methanogenesis. Experiments are investigating possible causes for the lack of acetate consumption by methane producers including testing the ability of moss exudates to attenuate methanogenesis, use of reciprocal transplants, and incubations employing manipulations of pH, trace element availability and nutrients.
The inability of these types of wetlands to convert acetate to methane has ramifications for other compounds as well. Methanogens handle C-1 compounds (no C-C bonds) similarly to acetate (which to a bacterium is simply a carboxylated methyl group). Therefore, C-1 compound use is impeded as well. Figure 4 demonstrates this for dimethylsulfide, which accumulates in northern wetlands leading to significant fluxes of the gas into the atmosphere.

Pawtucket officer admits to stealing gasoline
Retired Pawtucket police officer Ken Provost pleaded no contest Friday to charges of stealing about 200 gallons of gasoline from city pumps.
Provost said it was a mistake. He was given one year of probation and must pay the city $682.
"It's a roller coaster. So, I'm just glad it's over. Move on," Provost told NBC 10.
The roller-coaster ride began when a fellow city employee reported suspicious behavior at the gas pumps.
Soon, state police were on the case, reviewing surveillance video from the public works yard.
The I-Team pulled records from Pawtucket's city pumps and found strange patterns involving Provost going back at least three years.
City gas logs show he entered the vehicle code for a Ford Expedition as many as three times per day and pumped up to 43 gallons in a single shift.
The SUV's tank holds 28 gallons. To burn enough gas in one shift, he'd have to drive 555 miles, the distance from Providence to Pittsburgh.
"This is the end of the investigation. He's pleaded no lo contendre. There's nothing further to be done from this point," said Kevin Salvaggio, Provost's attorney.
Provost collects about $39,000 a year in pension payments, plus another $48,000 for health care. The city also cut him a check for about $47,000 in unused sick and vacation time.
Provost spent more than 30 years on the force.
"Again, it was a mistake, and it won't happen again," Provost said.
While the criminal case is over, the city's own investigation may not be.
Pawtucket Public Safety Commissioner Tony Pires said the city may hire an independent auditor to go back through those gas records for possible action in civil court.
Any evidence that's uncovered would be turned over to the City Council to consider action on Provost's pension.

A picture of conditions in Palestine and means of improving the situation in the orange grove industry was offered by I. Rokach, head of the Pardess company and head of the Jaffa Citrus Fruit Exchange, who is a member of the Palestine delegation of the Ottawa conference, prior to his departure for Ottawa.
Speaking at a meeting of the Economic Board for Palestine. Mr. Rokach said it had been hoped that Palestine would benefit by Imperial Preference, which despite constant efforts of the Economic Board and other, it had not been found possible to grant.
Even without Imperial Preference, however, Mr. Rokach declared, Palestine would do its best to compete with other producers, by lowering the cost of production, by better transportation helped now by the magnificent new harbor at Haifa by advertising in the old and new markets, by better grading and packing in modern packing houses, and by a Citrus Exchange formed among all orange co-operatives to govern shipments and sales in the best interests of the trade as a whole.
There are now about 150,000 dunams, 40,000 acres, of orange groves in Palestine, of which at least one-half are Jewish, Mr. Rokach said. Owing to the work involved on laying out the new groves and the seasonal work on the old there is at present practically no unemployment in Palestine a state of affairs which prevails in very few parts of the world today. Palestine now exports 3½ million boxes a year, which means employment for at least six months in the year for 10,000 people, who in the main manage to live for the whole year on what they earn during this time, and this number will increase with the constantly increasing crops.
Besides this direct labor, the industry supplies indirect sources of livelihood through railway and shipping traffic, roadmaking, construction of packing-houses, etc., etc.
The demand for the Jaffa orange has hitherto exceeded the supply, Mr. Rokach stated, and the profits on the industry have been very large. It must not be thought, however, that this happy state of affairs has resulted in the industry neglecting to make the progress which is necessary to its future prosperity. Improved methods of packing and grading are constantly being introduced, and there is an immense and hitherto almost untried field in advertisement. The by-products of the orange are fruit-juices, orange squash, pectin, essences for perfumery etc., and this branch of the industry is still in its infancy and can be enormously developed.
He was glad of this opportunity, Mr. Rokach said, of speaking to the members of the Economic Board, which has done so much for Palestine, and he reminded them that the pioneer of the citrus industry in Palestine was Sir Moses Montefiore, who started an orange grove in what is now Tel-Aviv.
The main reason for the present and undoubted future prosperity of the industry, Mr. Rokach claimed, is the unsurpassable quality of the Jaffa orange, which is universally acknowledged to be superior to all others. Climatic conditions in Palestine are ideal for its cultivation; frost, which is practically unknown in Palestine, has affected the crops of her greatest competitor, Spain, every year for the past few years, although Spain has great advantages of distance, with consequent cheaper delivery.
England, he went on, is the largest consumer of Jaffa oranges, and it will be seen, he said, how our markets can be developed, when it is realized that only six years ago Germany did not import any Jaffa oranges, and last year, in spite of crises and import restrictions, she imported 650,000 boxes at high prices. The London market can also be greatly developed; up to last year more oranges were bought in Hull and Manchester than in London, but the London demand is increasing year by year.

Im having some trouble rotating around a pivot point.
Would the process be to create the following Matrices and multiply them: Offset1: Create a translation matrix based on pivot.Multiply(-1) Offset2: Create a translation matrix based on pivot to move it back. Create a rotate matrix by multiplying (Offset1 * myrotation * Offset2) * existing rotation matrix
This sample code takes the original matrix, pivot point, and a vector change and creates a new matrix based on the above logic:
private Matrix GetRotateMatrix(Matrix inmat, Vector3 pivot, Vector3 change)
Matrix offset1 = Matrix.Identity;
Matrix offset2 = Matrix.Identity;
Matrix rot = Matrix.Identity;
// Setup offsets.
offset1.Translate(Vector3.Multiply(pivot, -1));
//Setup Rotation matrix.
rot.RotateYawPitchRoll(change.X, change.Y, change.Z);
//Combine Matrices.
Matrix final = Matrix.Identity;
return final;
It seems to work but I have problems with objects that don't have a pivot at the origin. ANy ideas?

School starts for thousands of local kids Monday morning. For many that will mean changes to bus rides this year.
In Wake County, 75,000 students ride on 900 buses.
This year, in order to save money, the school system removed between 40 and 60 buses. That means longer rides for some kids. The average time is expected to increase by six to eight minutes.
Busing was a real concern a few months ago for one local family due to the new school choice plan that's in effect this year for Wake County students.
Yonica Pimentel has eight kids in her blended family.
When they first got their assignments, they were going to six different schools in four different towns.
They have since worked it out and are mostly happy.
All the elementary kids will go to the same school – Apex Elementary – and all on traditional schedules.
All the middle school kids also will go to the same school – Holly Ridge Middle.
The one downside is that the two oldest siblings will go to two different high schools – Apex High and Holly Springs High.
In all, the eight kids will go to four schools in two different towns.
Pimentel said she's now concerned about what happens next school year. The school board will look at changing the choice plan in the 2013-2014 school year and possibly move back to address-based schools.

Faraz and the Tri – Star camp have made mention that the young Rory McDonald will be champ in two years. BJ Penn is coming back to do this fight and UFC 152 maybe his last fight on his contract. If the fight goes well for the "Prodigy" will it be enough fuel to make a title run?
Jens Pulver: Any extra motivation? You're taking on the young guy – GSP is sayin 'This is the guy – he'll be the champ when I'm done, he is the future. He is all these things.' And you've seen him in a couple of fights to Chae Mills – the way that he looks – what do you think of Rory as a fighter? Have you seen the kinks in his armor that motivates you – that gets you pumped to fight him?
BJ Penn:
"I see Rory – Rory is very good. He is still young but has been in the game long. He's got a lot of miles on him – not a lot of miles where his body is worn down or anything. I just mean he's got a lot of experience for being so young. He's been at a high level for a couple of years now. He's a great test. I was just watching a video of him yesterday. He's saying 'I'm 22 and when I'm 24 I'll be the world champion.' He's very good. He's got a lot of confidence. I'm sure his team has a lot of confidence in him also. I think this is definitely a great challenge and a great test. I'm definitely motivated for this fight. I like everything that is going on with this fight. Rory is one of the best guys. Faraz and everybody say he'll be a champ in 2 years.
I'm not thinking of any type of title run right now. I'm just coming back doing this fight
I'm pretty sure this is the last fight on my contract – I have to go back and check again but I think this is the last fight on my contract and I'd like to finish out my contract also."

PARIS -- A two-day rally driven by hopes that Europe had a plan to contain Greece's debt crisis and shore up the continent's other struggling countries ended Wednesday amid reports of divisions among leaders. The past few weeks have seen remarkable volatility, particularly in European shares, with investors responding to every twitch from European leaders on whether Greece will get its next loan installment, whether national parliaments will agree to a stronger pan-European bailout fund and whether there's a credible plan to save Italy and Spain from needing rescue loans themselves. The overall trend had been pessimistic until Monday, when it seemed that finally Europe's leaders were agreeing on a strong set of measures. That new optimism culminated in Greece's passage of a property tax -- one of a host of painful debt-reduction measures it must enact in exchange for rescue loans. The country will go bankrupt unless it receives an ¿8 billion ($11 billion) rescue loan before mid-October. But the rally ended Wednesday, with reports of heavy resistance to a proposal to ask private holders of Greek debt take on bigger losses. Many say that even after an agreed-upon reduction, Greece's debt is just too big to ever be paid off: With weak growth, Athens simply doesn't make enough money to pay its day-to-day bills and the interest on its loans, so the debt will continue to grow. As a result, there have been calls to further slash what it owes. A pushback against that plan renewed uncertainty about Greece's path and European markets have made little headway. In France, the CAC-40 rose 0.2% to 3,029 while Germany's DAX rose 0.1% to 5,634. The FTSE index of leading British shares was down 0.2% at 5,284. The euro, however, held its own against the dollar, rising 0.5% to $1.3647. The relatively small moves in markets may be a sign they're waiting to see how the upcoming events unfold. Finland is set to vote on the proposals to strengthen the eurozone bailout package on Wednesday, and Germany will do the same the next day. Yes-votes would reassure investors.

Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is happy over the huge turnout for the four seats in the Legislative Council elections on Monday, which has proved wrong the "experts" who had written "obituaries of the Panchayati Raj" in the state.
Mr Abdullah wrote on the micro-blogging site Twitter on Tuesday: "Good to see the turnout yesterday especially after experts had written the obituaries for Panchayati Raj in the state."
He was referring to some columnists who had written that not many Panchayat members would vote because of the fear of militants and their disillusionment over the real powers to them despite promises for devolution by the government and the Chief Minister.
According to election authorities, more than 96 percent of the 33,500 village council members and heads from 4,130 Panchayats across the state cast ballot in the polls, held after nearly three decades.
Counting of votes is slated for December 6.

After four years of flat rates, the Ham Lake City Council Aug. 6 unanimously approved increases in the city engineering contract.
Ham Lake contracts with a company in its own back yard — RFC Engineering. The lead engineer that attends all regular council meetings is Tom Collins. Also working in the RFC office is Dave Krugler, Andrew Lutaya and Beth Palo. Like Collins, Krugler and Lutaya are also professional engineers. Palo is the office manager and accountant.
The council approved a 3 percent increase in August 2008. Since then, the billing rates have not increased. Collins' billing rate is going from $107.73 to $109.89 an hour. Krugler's rate is going from $75.09 to $80.65 an hour. The hourly billing rate for Lutaya will have the highest percentage jump from 16.2 percent from $61.45 to $71.42. Palo's rate will go from $43.20 to $44.93 an hour.
It should be noted that these are billing rates and not wages. These four RFC employees earn less than this, but their hourly wages are multiplied by 2.7 and these amounts are the hourly rates charged to the city.
Although there will be increased rates, Collins noted that overall billing should decrease because RFC Engineering has fewer employees. There used to be seven at one time.
"Tom (Collins) provides a good service to the city at a fair price," Councilmember Gary Kirkeide said.
Revenue for paying engineering fees can come from Municipal State Aid gas tax money distributed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), fees charged to developers and the general Ham Lake tax base.

I have been looking and I think that some feats of strength are not being counted. You might want to check into whether the "Cutting Edge" feats are being counted, and possibly some feats such as "Realm First! Challenge Conqueror: Gold".
By Polar Dec 2, 2012
Well spotted - they are now added. Let me know if you think it is fixed.
By dennon01 Dec 2, 2012
From what I can tell, it seems to be working properly. It's hard to see if every achieve is being counted, but the few I have checked are working properly now. Thanks.
By Polar Dec 2, 2012
Yell out if you think any others might be missing - although I think I have them all now.

Rafe is sticking around because his tribe loves him. His inability to climb the ladder was forgotten as just a mess-up from Rafe. Morgan has said that everybody on Yaxha enjoys his company too much to boot him. We know that this really can keep you around for a long time, as evident by Katie from Palau. He may be the weakest of the guys, but I don't think that will make him a target anytime soon.Originally Posted by Grimjack
Great strategy if he keeps screwing up the challenges, yet his tribe keeps him around because they like him so much. Not that the RC was entirely his fault, but it could have given his tribe a little bit of an edge at the end if he didn't struggle. But Vanuatu's Chris blew several challenges for his tribe and he lasted. I don't care much for Rafe. Nice enough, but he seems like either he's going to be weak and a follower, or way too overconfident and cocky if he lasts long. Even if he is the weakest on his tribe, I still think they'll boot the strong ones over him simply because they view him as just that, weak. And they know they can get a weak member to vote along with them.
I might have been impressed, but I've seen a lot weirder things done by people. This would pale in comparision. But at least it's Beethoven and not something really easy."He is proudest of his ability to play Beethovens Ode to Joy on the piano with his toes."
Well, yeah, actually she did. Plenty of us leave the Mormon Church or otherwise find ways to choose not to be someone's mom. It sound like she's creative, intellectual, and (I'm guessing, based on my own experience of Mormon women like he described) a somewhat non-conformist (for a Mormon) woman. So as opposed to many women who just sort of fall into what's expected, she probably did make a choice to be a mother, and I think it's nice that he recognizes and appreciates that.Originally Posted by Salty Babe
He's definitely gay. I live in Salt Lake, and I was in a doctor's office the other day, and there was an alternative newspaper in the lobby that had his picture on the cover with a huge headline that said something like, "He's Gay and He's Mormon. Can he Survive?" I thought that was a perfectly valid question and a catchy phrase, so I went to take a closer look. It wasn't until then that I realized it was Rafe, and they were referring to Survivor.If he is really gay,I commend him for coming out of the closet,that can't have been easy in a Morman family.
Honey, trust me. When you're "out" enough to be talking in your pre-show video about wanting to use the good things you learned from the Mormon Church when you and your husband have a family of your own, you are not a "holier than thou" mainstream Mormon. I'm guessing that he won't be doing a lot of proselytizing. (Although, I suppose if there were any Mormon "I'm good and I'm right" attitudes that he had growing up, they might find ways to come out in other aspects of his personality.)I just hope he doesn't turn out to be one of those holier than thou Mormans who tries to get everyone else to become Morman...that could get old fast.
I'd actually be very surprised if he is still an active member, and if he is, he may not remain one for very long, because the Mormon Church would not hesitate to excommunicate a gay person who is saying in such a public forum that he is gay and has every intention of being in gay relationships in the future.
(The Mormons have in recent years softened their position on homosexuality only to the point that they seem to sort of admit that someone can be born gay, so they don't condemn someone who has those feelings. But they consider it a sin to act on them. A bit catch-22ish and not a policy I would find particularly helpful. But it's not quite as nasty as the attitude used to be where people were told they were disgusting for even having the thoughts and feelings.)
Seeking form amidst the void.
But if that's not possible, gimme a Margarita...shaken, not stirred...and hold the salt, please.
he had dysentary the day before this competition and was still not feeling well.Originally Posted by Uncle David
Sorry, I think Rafe is pretty worthless. Not this past week, but the week before, I felt him or Brianna should have been voted out for their level of sucktitude in the challenge. But Morgan was the one booted (who was worthless around camp, so not sorry to see her go either). This week it was definitely Brianna who needed to go, but I think Rafe should be next ~ before Lydia.
Where did you hear that? I know I haven't gotten around to watching Brianna's Survivor Live Episode, but if it wasn't in that, then I'm curious at to where you read/heard it.Originally Posted by tom_rocks
Rafe really isn't that weak in the challenges. Yes, his poor performance stood out on the second Reward Challenge. But in everything else, he has been pretty strong. He didn't perform poorly in the last Immunity Challenge, and that was the most recent measure of his skill.Originally Posted by holly71
In the last challenge, he seemed pretty strong. He made 2? baskets, and was on the winning team a couple of times. I remember when it was him, Brian, and Jamie against Judd, BobbyJon, and Blake. How did they win? I dont know ..Originally Posted by cable101
Actually, Rafe only made 1 (Jamie and Brian made the other 2). And the match you outlined resulted in a Nakum point.Originally Posted by AntmSTarTa
Regardless, Rafe proved in that challenge specifically that he's far more athletic than, say, Lydia. He's also more athletic than Amy, especially when she has a bad ankle. Morgan and Brianna? Also less athletic than Rafe. This is the reason that the girls have been the targets at Yaxha rather than the guys. When it comes down to it, I know I'd want Rafe with me in a challenge rather than any of the Yaxha girls (besides Stephenie).
he's a friend of a friend. my friend called him right after the show and thats what he said. i never watched this show before and im only watching it for him.Originally Posted by cable101

Kentucky State Police Campbellsburg responded to a fatal collision Friday on KY 35.
According to a press release, investigation revealed that Sarai D. Aguazul, 20, from Glencoe, was traveling south on KY 35 when she attempted to pass another vehicle. As she attempted to pass, the vehicle operated by Aguazul collided with a vehicle traveling north on KY 35. The driver of that vehicle, Susan D. Ellis, 44, of Owenton, was transported to New Horizons with non-life threatening injuries by the Owen County Life Squad.
The annual Owen County Christmas Parade was held Sunday. This year's theme was "Joys of Christmas." This year's church float winner was Hesler Assembly of God, Royal Rangers (top left). The first-place award in the civic adult category was Owen County Relay for Life and second place civic was Hard Rock of Owen County Search Dog Team. The first-place civic youth category winner was Girl Scout Troop 1030 and the first-place business category went to Dolly's Doggie Den. The overall grand champion was Hesler Assembly of God, Royal Rangers.
Saying goodbye to a friend hasn't been easy for many Owen County High School students, but they are determined to keep her memory alive in all school activities.
The Owen County High School National Honor Society, in partnership with the Kentucky Blood Center, will hold its second blood drive of the school year Monday, in memory of senior Rebekah Gaines who died Oct. 16.
"Rebekah donated blood last year before she got cancer," Owen County High School senior Rianna Gayheart said. "And she was a recipient of blood during her treatments."
Across Owen County, volunteer firefighters are ready to risk their lives to help and protect their communities.
This sense of duty is a full-time commitment.
The Christmas season is no different.
The Owen County volunteer fire departments and the Owen County Search and Rescue are holding their first-annual food and coat drive to give back to the community that is always supportive of its volunteers.
Owen County Volunteer Firefighters Jeff Wright and Daryl Hearne are spearheading the drive, which continues through Dec. 17.
An Owenton man has been sentenced to four months behind bars after pleading guilty to cutting a man with a pocket knife Nov. 6.
Daryl Andre Thomas, 52, pleaded guilty to the charges of fourth-degree assault and second-degree wanton endangerment in Owen District Court Friday.
Thomas was originally charged with first-degree assault but the charge was amended to fourth-degree Friday.
He was sentenced to one year for each charge, but could serve only 120 days. He will be conditionally discharged for the balance.
Two Owen County men were recently arrested by Owen County sheriff's deputies following separate alleged burglaries.
Bradford L. Wilhoite, 30, of Owenton, allegedly broke into the home of Ricky and Judy Williams on Cull Road.
The alleged incident took place Nov. 21.
"(Williams) had a bunch of jewelry and a shotgun taken," Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond said. "We were able to recover some of the stuff."
An Owen County magistrate was recently arrested on the charges of first-degree driving under the influence and speeding 15 mph over the limit.
Fourth-District Magistrate Troy Bramblett, 40, was arrested at approximately 11:58 p.m. Nov. 26.
According to police records, Bramblett was traveling north on U.S. 127 in Franklin County, near Shadrick Ferry Road when a Franklin County sheriff's deputy allegedly observed him traveling at a high rate of speed.
The heavy rains over the last few days, along with the predictions of some colder weather, remind us that it's probably time to start thinking about strategies for winter feeding of livestock, since it is a necessary part of nearly all operations.

For the News-Herald
It's "winter-weather awareness" time again in the commonwealth. As the winter weather season is approaching, Owen County Emergency Management, Kentucky Emergency Management, the National Weather Service and the Kentucky Weather Preparedness Committee would like to remind the public to "be aware - be prepared – have a plan."
Don't be caught unprepared as thousands were due to an early snowstorm that paralyzed much of the northeast and left millions without power.
Owen Electric Cooperative will be performing geographical information system field verification and inventory of its facilities in northern Owen County, southern Gallatin County, western Grant County and northern Boone County from December 2011 through March of 2012.

Kino Stories: 'Sirens of Titan' by mok2014-07-01 1 3 Share Tweet
The first moon landing in 1969 is just one of the many events that we celebrate every July, and so to commemorate this historic occasion as well as to kickstart the month, we have this stop-motion film by mok!
With the use of dolls' busts, cutouts, glow-in-the-dark stars, a set emulating the moon's surface, and ultraviolet light, mok was able to create the super creative LomoKino movie "Sirens of Titan." With music by MiNiVaN wrapping things up quite perfectly, it's no surprise this film was selected as one of the winners of the Voyage to the Moon competition back in 2012! If you're in the mood for something out-of-this world, then you should definitely check out this short film!
Here in the Lomography magazine we often venture to the community's Movies section, where we're able to stumble upon shorts that do not only depict interesting storylines but are also well-executed. The new Kino Stories series aims to put the well-deserved spotlight on these gems, so keep those creative juices flowing and tell us your story! Who knows, you just might get featured in an upcoming installment!

Proposal for a small museum dedicated to Subirachs, a famous sculptor fro Catalonia who has worked also in the sculptures of Gaudi´s Sagrada Familia temple in Barcelona.
The location is in old town of Barcelona and the idea is to create an urban space inside the museum where people can meet and visit the different temporal expositions. The structure, from wall to wall, allows to keep all the space without columns so that the space is continuous inviting the visitants to come in.
There is also an antique facade that must be conserved and integrated in the project.
This project was tutored by the architect Ramón Sanabria in the last course of architecture in the ETSAUN (www.unav.es/arquitectura)
Thank You!

Poole harbour road layout plans still to be implemented
Plans to redesign the road system around a Dorset harbour are stalling, according to a local councillor.
Poole harbour's one-way system around its two bridges was recommended for urgent improvements in November.
A council select committee tabled nine recommendations after a consultant's report described it as dangerous.
Poole Borough Council's transportation team said it was looking to address the safety concerns and the issues identified.
However, Councillor Mark Howell, from Poole People Party, believes little progress has been made on the Marston Road and Bay Hog Lane road layout since November's report.
He said: "It's not acceptable and it's creating continued risk for the council while there's an ongoing problem.
"Officers haven't been getting on with the job in hand as yet. We need to see some urgent movement as experts have raised some serious issues."
The consultant's report suggested replacing the "gyratory" system with two-way roads, and providing more pedestrian crossings and signs.
Mr Howell has also put forward details of defects he has detected with the system along with a set of proposed safety measures.
The council's strategic director Andrew Flockhart said: "The safety of the public is our priority.
"The council wants to be sure that it understands all the consequences of any changes it makes. This means developing detailed proposals that will work and stand the test of time."
The economy overview and scrutiny committee is expected to receive a progress report later in the year, while a member and stakeholder meeting is taking place on Wednesday.

President John Dramani Mahama has reassigned Information Minister, Mahama Ayariga as the new Minister for Youth and Sports.
He replaces Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah who moves to the Presidency as a Minister of State. This was contained in a press statement from the Presidency Saturday.
The new directive is coming a few days after the Black Stars were eliminated from the 2014 FIFA World Cup which is ongoing in Brazil. The Black Stars lost two matches and drew one at the tournament.
Ghana's participation in this year's World Cup was rocked with series of controversies including a match fixing scandal, a player revolt due to unpaid appearance fee, and the subsequent suspension of Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince-Boateng from camp.
Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports, Joseph Yammin has also been reassigned to the Ashanti Region to take over from Joseph Alexander Ackon as Deputy Ashanti regional Minister. Joseph Alexander Ackon has been reassigned to the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection as the second Deputy Minister.
The statement also said Deputy Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, Vincent Oppong Asamoah, will replace Joseph Yammin as Deputy Minister.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, a Minister of State at the Presidency, has been reassigned as Minister for Food and Agriculture.
The President said the new appointments are 'part of ongoing changes in his administration.'

Wow! One damn fine piece of leather for my Defender. Fits great and really stays put. Good molding job that allows hardly any wiggle but draws with ease after about 20 times. Just as described by Sparks. I done a lot of research before going with Sparks but it has really been worth the 8 week delivery time. Could not be more satisified with my choice. Ron

LXer: GNOME3 vs Unity on Ubuntu 11.10: my score is 6 - 9
Published at LXer:
So, Ubuntu 11.10 is here and GNOME2 is gone... Even if you had an option to run GNOME2 in previous release of Ubuntu 11.04, there is no more this option in 11.10. It is only shipped with Unity interface. Does it mean GNOME is fully gone? No, it is still here... But that's not GNOME2. That is GNOME3, updated version which follows (or creates?) new wave of user interfaces. Let's have a look at Ubuntu 11.10 with GNOME3 interface and check whether it is better than Unity.

Getting Involved
There are numerous clubs and sports that Cape Fear Community College has to offer. It is wonderful to become more involved in clubs and sports at your local school. There are many advantages to being involved, such as, meeting new people, supporting the college, and discovering a passion you never knew you had! By being involved there is no telling what opportunities await you. You could become friends with someone who might know an employer who will help you achieve your dream job, or professor who will inspire you to take a career path you never thought you would take! I truly believe that being involved is a significant part of the college experience. Â Â

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Wogma Readers Reviews
Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Andy Serkis
Dir: Peter Jackson
Gargantuan in scale and vision, the first of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy is more of a set-up piece for the remaining films. Unhurried in its pace, the film introduces the enchanting world, the eccentric characters and the adventures that they will eventually face. With rich detailing, immaculate art and terrific 3D, the film makes for a good theatrical watch, but there will certainly be complaints that the first Hobbit film doesn't nearly pack in as much excitement as any of the LOTR films.

Johannesburg - The ANC Youth League in Gauteng has warned Cosatu president S'dumo Dlamini to stop "intimidating" Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe from challenging President Jacob Zuma in Mangaung.
ANCYL provincial chairman and Sports MEC Lebogang Maile on Wednesday told Cosatu and SACP leaders in the province to refrain from interfering in internal ANC processes, especially succession debates.
He also accused unnamed Gauteng ANC provincial executive committee (PEC) members of plotting to topple provincial ANC leader Paul Mashatile after Mangaung. Mashatile, who is also Arts and Culture Minister, is seen as anti-Zuma.
Maile made his statements at a media briefing held to confirm the league's endorsement of Motlanthe as its preferred candidate to take over from Zuma at the ANC's national elective conference next month.
Maile claimed three Gauteng PEC members were plotting to use "tricks" to unseat Mashatile. He refused to name the alleged plotters.
"We are also aware that there are intentions to create instability and disorder in the province to allow the NEC to disband the Gauteng executive post-Mangaung. We will not fold our arms as young people on this matter. We want to see action being taken against these ill-disciplined members because they are setting the wrong precedents," Maile insisted.
ANC Gauteng spokesman Dumisa Ntuli refused to comment on the matter.
Maile said while the Gauteng ANC Women's League was within its right to nominate Zuma, most of its leaders - who were members of the Gauteng provincial legislature - took their decision in the hope of retaining their jobs and securing their pensions.
"We are young. We can bounce back," Maile insisted.

Frame Rate Stats by JUttayaya
Updated: | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
Topic: New VF2 Frame Rate Statistics
Source: GamestMook
Kawabe Koh Japanese VF2 FAQ
Chia Jin Ngee English VF2 FAQ
Yupasawa firstname.lastname@example.com
Well it's the second installment of Peaking Duck's GAMEST translation
and it's a biggie. This is probably the most vital section of the GamestMook,
the statistics of all the characters' moves. If you subscribed to the VF2
mailing list (firstname.lastname@example.com), then these numbers should be
familiar. As an aside, I suggest you join the VF2 mailing list since
there are several key points on VF2 discussed there and not on this newsgroup.
Also, I use the mailing list to post speculative information or rough
translations (or mistranslations). Besides, it's fun for the whole family.
A bit of caution before we proceed. It it well publicized in Japan
that GamestMook numbers contain some significant errors. In fact one
person posted that GamestMook has a "storm of mistakes". Caveat VF2'or.
Several statistics should be new to those sans GamestMooks. First is
execution time (Ex). This is how many frames a move requires to come out.
Second is continuation time (Co). This shows how many frames a move is
considered "active" ie. the computer will register the move as a hit.
Recovery time numbers should be familiar from Chia's FAQ. It's how many
frames after the move before you can do anything again. Finally, the most
controversial and maybe the most important statistic is advantage time (AD).
There's still some debate about the interpretation and the validity of this
number. Here's my take on AD time. Yupa and Colin have there own
interpretation which you should ask them about sometimes. Quite simply
AD time is the window of opportunity your opponent has to counter after
your opponent blocks your attack. For the countermove to hit, your opponent's
move execution time plus your AD time must be less than 0. Here's an example.
Wolf attacks Jeffry with a sidekick, which Jeffry blocks. Then Jeffry
counters with a PK combo. Wolf's sidekick has an AD time of -13. Jeffry's
punch has an execution time of 12. Since 12 + -13 is -1, which is of course
less than 0, Jeffry will hit with the punch, kick. (Remember, if the punch
hits, the kick is automatically guarenteed).
Here is the mechanics of AD time. When you perform an attack which your
opponent blocks, your opponent is in block stun, which is actually dependent
upon the damage of your move.
Block Stun Time = Damage * 2/3 + 6
with a maximum block stun time of 22 frames.
When you hold guard after a move, the guard command will not take effect
until after your recovery time. And this is what AD time measure, the
difference between block stun time and recovery time.
Advantange time = Hardening Time - Recovery Time
Thus if your opponent comes out of block stun and has enough frames to
execute a move before you can recover, then you are in big trouble.
My understanding is that block stun for aerial moves like knees and
jump kicks work a little differently, but I haven't translated that section
Whew, a little complex, eh. I wonder if Tekken has a comparable methodology.
Reinterating my previous warning, some of these numbers may be incorrect.
I would appreciate a report of any discrepancies you can find. I think
Yupa reported an error with Akira's double palm AD time. Unfortunately,
no one plays VF2 around here anymore. I hope this is of some use.
A special thanks goes to Yupa for providing some frame rate information.
u = up d = down f = forward b = back H. = hold
P = Punch K = Kick G = Defense Lev = Level of attack
* = Attack level depenent on foot stance (see Trans. 1)
Regular P+G throws are given with 3 recovery time. The first one is your
recovery time if the P+G throw successfully connects. The recov time
in parenthesis is the recovery time if the P+G throw is escaped. The
first number is your recovery time and the second is your opponent's
recovery time.

It depends on the people.
I want my boss, my employees, my family and my friends to think well of me. However, I don't change who I am to obtain this, I am who I am.
Random internet people or people that I may come across randomly in my life? Nah. It would be nice if they thought well of me, but I don't really care if they do or not.
I used to care so much what people would think of me that it sometimes paralyzed me. Now...I don't give a rip. I love getting older. It really does make you braver.
loved ones--yes
people I admire-somewhat
everyone else-no

Erik Deckers as a Simpsons character
This is what I look like in the Simpson's Springfield. You can create one of these at the Simpsons Movie web site. Go to the main page, select Create Avatar, and then register. Click on the different characteristics you have, such as a dashing goatee and stylish glasses, and voila! You're a Simpsons character.
Pretty handsome, don't you think?

Coming off the news last night that Jon Meacham would be stepping down as co-host of the PBS program "Need to Know," The NY Times reports that Bill Moyers is eyeing a return to public television.
Moyers, whose PBS program "Bill Moyers Journal" was replaced by "Need to Know" last May, has received a grant from the Carnegie Foundation to develop a new program, "Something Different with Bill Moyers."
Mr. Moyers, in an e-mail statement, confirmed that his company has been discussing a potential weekly series, as well as other projects, and said he was pleased that the Carnegie Corporation had offered the first grant. "But," he added, the announcement "is premature because we are in conversations with other funders which take time to conclude. We have discussed various possibilities with PBS as one potential source of distribution, but have no idea about a possible airdate, if in fact we proceed."
Would you watch a new Moyers show on PBS? Let us know in the comments.
