1 Corinthians 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Johannesburg -
The Congress of SA Trade Unions in the North West will hold its Workers Day rally at Olympia stadium in Rustenburg, the union said on Monday.
"We are calling all workers of the North West to celebrate the workers day with peace and stability in all our workplaces and be critical in dealing with issues that affect the workers but stop killing each other," Cosatu North West provincial secretary Solly Phetoe said.
He called on all employers to stop intimidating workers and threatening that they would be dismissed for attending Workers Day events on May 1, or voting on May 7.
"We call on all workers to unite and fight for their rights," he said.
The Rustenburg area and the platinum belt is reeling with the effects of a drawn-out strike by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), who are still aiming to settle with a R12 500 salary for platinum miners.
The demand surfaced during a strike in 2012.
During the strike, police shot 34 people dead, mostly miners protesting at Marikana.
In the preceding week, 10 people, including two policemen and two security guards, were killed in strike-related violence.
The National Union of Mineworkers, an affiliate of Cosatu, lost its majority status in the North West in 2013 after many mineworkers left to join Amcu. - Sapa

Tree Lopping Melbourne Eastern Suburbs - Finding The Best Local Contractor
An arborist by definition is someone who cares for and maintains trees. A more common name for an arborist is a "tree lopper", but they are worlds apart.The education levels and knowledge of arborists these days are astounding.
You would only phone for tree lopping in Melbourne Eastern Suburbs if you are looking at felling a tree from the base. But you would call an arborist for a whole range of tree work including; arborist's reports for individuals/councils in relation to the removal of protected trees (including DA tree reports), identifying and treating pests and diseases in trees, dead-wooding, crown lifts, specialized pruning and of course tree removal.
Obviously there is a world of difference between a qualified tree service professional and your local 'handyman' who happens to own a chainsaw and advertises himself as a "tree lopper".
…..but what does that difference mean for you?
Risk vs Reward
There is no doubt that getting a tree removal in Melbourne for example, by unqualified professionals can look like an attractive offer, because in general they are going to be cheaper than your qualified professionals.
Why, I hear you ask?
Your professional tree removal services need to charge more because they have greater overheads such as public liability insurance, worker's compensation insurance specialist equipment and not to mention the years they spend studying Arboriculture.
So the reward is you save money, but what's the risk?
You don't need me to tell you removing a tree is dangerous work, you have a guy swinging from a rope and harness 30 feet up in the air with a running chainsaw, dismantling the 2 tonne plus structure and trying to bring it down to each safely without injuring himself, his crew or your property…. but just how dangerous is it?
It's in the top 10 most dangerous professions in Australia, but if you look at the injury or death figures per 1000 workers it is 3 times deadlier than mining. (Mining being the DEADLIEST industry in Australia)
The risk you run trying to save a few hundred dollars is that the person you hire gets injured on your property (that's a can or worms right there) or you risk tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to your property with a company that is not covered to repair the damage.
Yes, you stand to save hundreds of dollars if you don't get your tree removal or pruning job done by a professional, but you run a very large risk of property damage or worse, injury or death on your property by one of the workers.
Don't risk it, get a pro in and get the job done right.

MANILA, Philippines - The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said local banks managed to keep their capital levels significantly above international standards as the industry survived the impact of the global financial crisis that started in 2008.
The BSP reported over the weekend that the banking system recorded a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) level of 15.8 percent on a consolidated basis in the second semester of last year.
"Banks remains solvent during the semester in review as CAR was above regulatory and international standards at 15.8 percent," the central bank stated in its report on the Philippine financial system for the second semester of 2009.
The central bank pointed out that the Philippine banking system remained well above the international benchmark ratio of eight percent and the BSP's own 10-percent minimum requirement.
The CAR is a ratio of a bank's capital to its risk and the central bank tracks this indicator to ensure that banks have the capability to absorb a reasonable amount of loss and that they are complying with their statutory capital requirements.
The BSP added that the banks' compliance ratio with minimum capital further strengthened to 82.6 percent from last year's 81.7 percent.
The BSP said several banks issued supplementary capital instruments since hard times struck in 2008 to keep their capital levels significantly above international standards.
The central bank has already agreed to defer by a year the implementation of a new set of capital requirements for banks under Circular 639 or the implementing regulation on the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) that were supposed to take effect starting January 2010.
Under the ICAAP, banks will be required to provide sufficient capital—or other resources—to cover non-traditional types of risks involved in operating a bank. These include reputation risk, strategic risks, interest rate risks, compliance risks, liquidity risks and credit concentration risks.
Currently, banks are only required to provide capital cover for common types of risks, mainly credit risk, which is the risk of borrowers defaulting on their loans.
The circular, which will now take effect in January 2011, states that banks must submit to the BSP a detailed report indicating all the risks it is exposed to, quantify these risks, determine the amount of capital they think is sufficient to cover for all these risks, and raise the required capital.

Food allergen management systems require analytical tools which are able to effectively determine the levels of allergenic food protein(s) in order to monitor either factory cleaning, or ingredients and finished products. However, currently available tests for allergens in foods can be highly variable and performance is often matrix dependent. Using peanut as a model system, we have been assessing how the use of detergents, including acid-labile detergents, can optimise extraction of incurred peanut in different matrices (chocolate dessert, cookie, or chocolate bar) matrices.

Wait, what?
Are you arguing the other side of Fox News is not far reaching to the left?
For crying out loud, MSNBC is a joke even to my hard core liberal friends.
I think the whole "media is left leaning" thing is overplayed by some in this country, but I also think there is some truth to it as well.
On msnbc, you know when someone's sharing a liberal opinion. Hannity and rush(not fox) tell there followers what to think even when they know its untrue. Its where the ignorant get there talking points "opinions". Racheal Maddow will never pretend she isn't a very progressive thinker however, she won't lie to you. You get the news with typically left leaning commentary, but you do get the actual news unlike fox and freinds.
Intelligent conservatives know fox news is manipulative and dishonest. They also know it helps their party get elected.

OK, that is enough of political talk. Anymore posts that contain political talk will be deleted.
I want a sports network with some journalistic integrity. We see it over and over and over again why ESPN has none.
one example:
My wife is a writer. When the whole Manti Te'o story broke, as a journalist she was amazed by something that most people including me ignored. The take-home message should have been in part about BAD SPORTS JOURNALISM.
summary: ESPN had reported on Te'o grieving his "girlfriend's" (non)death. The reporter doing the story actually tried to find newspaper accounts of her death. No luck. He looked into the existence of any reports of her supposed car accident months before. No luck. Since the story said she was a volleyball player, he looked for a volleyball player by that name at Stanford. No luck.
So after doing some fact-checking (taking maybe about 15 minutes on google, these days!), they found no facts to support anything. The logical conclusion? Something is wrong here!
Did that matter? Nope. Report it and move on, and if If proved wrong, certainly don't apologize for anything.

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Going after smaller markets, as shags said, is like trying to profit by locking up the TV rights to division-III conferences. There is simply not enough money to make there to turn a significant profit.
If all of Indiana watched the FOX channel, and all of New York watches ESPN, ESPN wins.
remember the fox sports local sports report shows? Yeah, those hemorrhaged money.

I don't see how FOX will be able to come close to competing in big markets with ESPN, who already has an insane following and a very high quality product. How do they make up for that? Spread the coverage around more to places like Indy where we won't care about the lesser quality of product because we we're hardly being covered in the first place by ESPN.
I want to be clear, spreading the coverage does not mean abandoning New York and LA, that's just stupid. A little balance is what I think makes them competitive.
They cover the same stories espn does, but they'll do it with a playboy playmate giving her take on the Dwight Howard trade, and then follow up with a comedy segment from larry the cable guy. That's their way of giving the guy in Mississippi a reason tune in.

Did you note my new favorite team? Ha, ha, ha....... It was truly tasteless to cut down the nets after a loss. Can you imagine a Bobby Knight team ever doing that. Yeah, IU is all class, third class.....
I understand exactly what you're saying, bshall.
KStat and shags are both committing the false dichotomy fallacy, wherein, FOX Sports must choose between either big-market or small-market coverage. Reality is, they can, and almost certainly will, cover both.
What bshall is actually saying is that he'd like the network to spend less time covering big markets, and more time on smaller markets. If ESPN 's coverage is currently 80/20, then FOX could go with, say, 60/40. He's not saying they should give up big-market coverage completely, or even make it a minority of their coverage.
If they go more towards the Gametime style analysis that NBATV has, I'll be a happy camper.
Then again, I liked Best Damn Sports Show Period....

I wanted to add one more thing about ESPN. I think the reason people are so disgusted with ESPN is because it really has a chance to be great and yet they shoot themselves in the foot constantly. They have so much talent but give some of their most important positions to really lazy, untalented people. It's that squandered potential that makes ESPN so frustrating.
Fox Sports will be terrible, I'm sure, just because almost everything Fox produces for television is terrible (Not a comment on their politics, just the quality of the programming which has nothing to do with their ideology). I won't watch Fox Sports and won't think twice about it because there's no way it can't NOT be bad, but ESPN will continue to be disappointing because I know they can do better.
So do you ignore the Super Bowl when it's on FOX every three years? Do you ignore the NFC Championship every year? Do you ignore all of the other big NFL games that they broadcast throughout the regular season? You're a fellow Yankee fan, but did you not tune in to any of the recent World Series championships that were played on FOX?

So War has finally commenced in the MyIGN community, for the next month many poor souls in MyIGN have started a journey attempting to amass as many achievements or trophies as they can. I find myself as one of those poor souls, digging into the many games within my huge backlog, trying to play as much as I can to hear that familiar sound notifying me that I have achieved a goal within these games, and assigning these achievements with well earned points.
But like any war, there are heroes and villains on both sides, there are those which it is the task of the rest of the soldiers to take them down with all the might that they can muster. But there is one amongst this merry crew that is so elusive, so much of an enigma, that his trophy hunting skills are the envy of the rest of the trophy and achievement war participants.
....and he must be taken DOWN!!! And his name is Jose....
But to know how to accomplish this immense task, one must first know thy enemy.
The man himself is a recluse, he travels through time and space using this simple blue box, taking all the time he needs to find and locate that elusive Platinum.
He is a lone warrior, a man amongst the shadows, he achieves what people believe is the unachievable.
He's climbing in yo windows, snatching yo trophies up, so you need to hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and hide yo husbands....
The time for the uprising is now! Do not rest on your laurels, do not think that you have plenty of time to spare; the time for the revolution is now, and it's time to finish this fight....
Viva la Revolucion!

A New Jersey volunteer fire company that responded to a wires down incident in 2007, has been hit with a major portion of a $20.5 million verdict in favor of a man who was shocked and traumatically injured.
Last Friday, a jury found the Northside Engine Company, of Tinton Falls, to be 60 percent responsible for the injuries sustained by William Hagerman on February 15, 2007. The jury concluded that the remaining 40% share was attributable to Jersey Central Power & Light.
The incident occurred during an ice storm. The fire company was dispatched to reported wires down, and according to Hagerman's attorney, Norman Hobbie, left the scene aware that the wires were live and in the Hagerman's driveway.
News reports also indicate that an electric company supervisor and a police officer were on the scene when Hagerman and his wife attempted to drive out of their driveway. The car struck the wires, creating sparks that prompted Hagerman to pull back into the driveway and exit the vehicle. Unfortunately when he exited his vehicle, it was still in contact with the wires.
As a result of his injuries, Hagerman lost an arm and a leg, and suffered massive burn injuries. Oddly enough the jury did not assess any fault to Hagerman himself, nor a police officer who was on the scene. In fact, Hobbie referred to the police officer as the "hero" of the story for coming to Hagerman's aid following his injury.
While some of what has been written about the case seems to make sense, I have to admit I am a bit baffled. First of all, was ICS used by the responding agencies and/or considered by the lawyers? The news reports don't get into the details of what occurred – but ICS is one of those things that lawyers (non-firefighter lawyers that is) do not quite understand. If command of the incident had been duly turned over to the police and/or the electric company supervisor, why was the fire department even in the suit…. Of course if ICS was not used… or they didn't formally pass command … well… that might explain why they were left holding the bag.
Second, how can the homeowner not bear some level of responsibility for noticing a down electrical wire in his driveway? Wouldn't the various fire, police and electric company vehicles parked in front of his property be a tip-off that something might be up? Seriously, are people entitled to be that oblivious that it becomes totally our obligation to protect them from hazards such as electrical wires down in their own driveway? Zero % responsibility to Hagerman, himself…. Seriously? Not even 1%???
Third, if volunteer firefighters have an obligation to warn Mr. Hagerman, why wouldn't a paid police officer have an obligation to warn Mr. Hagerman? Why would it fall 60% on the fire department (who were no longer on the scene) and 40% on the electric company, and 0% on the police? Sometimes these cases come down to the lawyering and if the right arguments are not made…. Well … you end up with a verdict that leaves you scratching your head. Then again, if a fire company really did drive away from a truly dangerous situation involving lives wires down leaving them totally unattended and someone gets seriously injured.. what would you expect to be the outcome?
Lastly – I would have expected the fire department to have been dismissed from the case based on the public duty rule, and perhaps that issue, or some form of immunity argument may still be litigated in a post-verdict motion and/or appeal. (Note a quick check failed to disclose any prior public duty rule cases in NJ…. Hint to fire company lawyer… maybe its not too late to make some new law….). Stay tuned… its not over til…. the check is in the bank.

Why would Mortensen attribute to Kelly something .... by CJC
that Kelly didn't say or believe?
Couldn't get it confirmed?
Well, that would be shitty journalism, but hardly rare these days.
But in this particular case, it stretches all credibility to suggest that Mortensen couldn't get it confirmed.
So, you might ask, why would something like this -- of questionable accuracy -- make it out of Kelly's camp?
Kelly was in a position to say that while we might not red-shirt precisely as some teams do, we have lots of fifth-year players.
Mortensen was presumably in a position to confirm whether Kelly really thought that.
And if Mortensen was tempted to re-hash something he "heard" from somebody else, you'd think he'd be disinclined to do so given the connection through Armstrong.
Forget about when Mortensen published this; that's irrelevant.
I put it to you ... why did this ever see the light of day through Mortensen?

78-year-old homeowner critically injured in home invasion
A 78-year-old Providence man was critically injured in an armed home invasion at his house over the weekend.
The victim owns the house on Ontario St. in the Elmwood section of the city, but the violence had nothing to do with him at the start.
Instead, police say it began with an attack on a tenant upstairs Saturday morning.
The third-floor tenant told police that two men forced their way into his apartment where he grows medical marijuana and beat him with a gun. The landlord, who we're told lives in the basement of the building, heard the commotion, went upstairs, and was beaten even worse.
Police are not yet identifying the elderly victim, but say the attack left him bleeding with serious head injuries.
The initial attack victim, the third-floor tenant, was also hurt.
Police are looking for suspects but are not saying whether they believe the home invasion was a random act or if that third-floor tenant or anyone else was targeted by the suspects.

30 Years Ago: Prince Releases 'Purple Rain'
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
Prince's fifth album, 1982's '1999,' brought him his first Top 10 hit, delivering a commercial breakthrough that vindicated years of artistic struggle. It would have been easy to play it safe with the follow-up, but instead of worrying about another hit, Prince went for broke, using what he called his "emotional autobiography" as the inspiration for a film and soundtrack project that could have ended his career just as it was really getting started.
The rest, of course, is history. Released to record stores on June 25, 1984, and arriving in theaters a little over a month later, 'Purple Rain' cemented Prince's status as one of the more talented artists in the business, sending five cross-format smashes to Top 40 radio while the movie racked up more than $80 million at the box office. By the time he returned 10 months later with his next LP, 'Around the World in a Day,' Prince was a certified superstar.
While it may have seemed like overnight success to much of middle America, he'd had years to plot his global domination. "I worked a long time under a lot of different people, and most of the time I was doing it their way," he mused in a 1985 radio interview. "I mean, that was cool, but you know, I figured if I worked hard enough and kept my head straight, one day I'd get to do this on my own, and that's what happened. So I feel like if I don't try to hurt nobody, and like I say, keep my head on straight… my way usually is the best way."
That attitude was a familiar one for execs at Prince's longtime label, Warner Bros. Records. "I had creative control," he told the Guardian while looking back on his 'Purple Rain' period. "We had to fight for over a year before I even got signed. So whatever I turned in, they had to accept. They weren't even allowed to speak to me."
It isn't uncommon for an artist to try and shut out his label, but Prince wasn't just tight-lipped around the people signing the checks. "For the first two years that I worked with him, Prince never talked to any of us," admitted keyboardist Matt Fink. "Once he started talking about his life with his parents. He mentioned something about having a tough time. Then he suddenly realized what he was doing and clammed up. That was two and a half years ago. We never heard about his personal life again."
Somewhat ironically, it was Prince's personal life that ended up providing the grist for the 'Purple Rain' screenplay. While not strictly autobiographical, the movie borrows from his experiences growing up in Minneapolis, with most of the roles filled by the musicians in his circle — playing "characters" with their real names and acting out (occasionally thinly) fictionalized versions of real-life situations.
While the acting may not have been up to the usual Hollywood standards, the whole thing was still rooted in real memories of somewhat trying times. "The radio was dead, the discos was dead, ladies was kinda dead, so I felt like, if we wanted to make some noise, and I wanted to turn anything out, I was gonna have to get something together," he stated simply when asked about his youth. "Which is what we did."
Former manager Bob Cavallo saw the 'Purple Rain' movie as just one more manifestation of Prince's growing ambition. As he remembered it, he found out about it after calling his partner, Steve Fargnoli, and asking him to start negotiating a renewal of their management contract. "'Steve, there's about a year left on our deal, mention to Prince that we'd like to re-up.' A day or so later I get a response: 'He'll only sign with us if he gets a major motion picture. It has to be with a studio — not with some drug dealer or jeweler financing. And his name has to be above the title. Then he'd re-sign with us.' He wasn't a giant star yet. I mean, that demand was a little over the top."
"A movie is a little bit more complex, but to me it's just a larger version of an album," Prince argued. "There are scenes and there are songs, and they all go together to make this painting, and…I'm the painter. Y'all is the paintees."
"I was the executive producer of 'Fame,' the television series," explained screenwriter William Blinn. "I went to Hollywood, where Prince was putting together final touches on a video. Met him at an Italian restaurant in Hollywood. What I remember more than anything was that he was the only person I had ever seen in my life who had pasta and orange drink. I didn't get it then, I don't get it now, but what the hell. He had definite ideas of what he wanted to do — a generalized story line, broad strokes. It wasn't his life, but it was about his life. Not that it was wall-to-wall docu-drama, but he knew where he'd come from, and he wanted the movie to reflect that."
"We used parts of my past and present to make the story pop more, but it was a story," Prince later insisted. It was a story whose details had been at least partially sketched in by director Albert Magnoli, who recalled coming up with ideas after meeting Prince in a hotel lobby. "He didn't know who I was, he didn't see me … I ended up filling [in] the whole story based on him walking across the lobby. Because what I saw was extreme vulnerability, in spite of all the bluster and the costume and the music. This was a vulnerable young man. I saw all the heart and soul. I saw all the emotional stuff. I saw the tragedy of his upbringing. I just saw stuff and felt stuff that filled in the three-act story."
As the movie started coming together, Prince worked on the soundtrack with his band the Revolution, comprised of guitarist Wendy Melvoin, keyboard players Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink, bassist Brown Mark, and drummer Bobby Z. While Fink, Z., and Melvoin and Coleman (more commonly referred to as Wendy and Lisa) had appeared on previous recordings, the 'Purple Rain' sound was denser — and more rock-inflected — than Prince's earlier efforts. As later evidenced by the Revolution's co-performing credit on the 'Purple Rain' album cover, his usual one-man-band approach had shifted toward something resembling a real group scenario.
The Revolution's influence extended to everything from songwriting to tracking, helping alter the album's sound in subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways. "Prince came in with the melody and the words and an idea of what the verses were like. I came up with the opening chords, and everybody started playing their parts," Melvoin recalled of writing the title track. Added Z, "My first reaction was, 'Wow, this is almost a country song.' It had a different feel than anything we'd been rehearsing for the rest of the album. I realize now it was probably, in his mind, the centerpiece of the story. But that's Prince — his ability to thread the needle, so to speak."
And while Prince has been quick to admit he's something of a musical tyrant in band situations, he didn't try to disguise the Revolution's impact on the music. "Bobby Z was the first one to join. He's my best friend. Though he's not such a spectacular drummer, he watches me like no other drummer would," he told Rolling Stone. "Mark Brown's just the best bass player I know, period. I wouldn't have anybody else. If he didn't play with me, I'd eliminate bass from my music. Same goes for Matt. He's more or less a technician.
"He can read and write like a wiz, and is one of the fastest in the world. And Wendy makes me seem all right in the eyes of people watching. She keeps a smile on her face. When I sneer, she smiles. It's not premeditated, she just does it. It's a good contrast. Lisa is like my sister. She'll play what the average person won't. She'll press two notes with one finger so the chord is a lot larger, things like that. She's more abstract."
There was little abstract about the way 'Purple Rain' ruled in 1984. Selling more than a million copies in its first week of release, the album acted as a powerful calling card for the film, setting Prince and the Revolution up to grab headlines throughout the summer and making him a lightning rod for conservative activists such as Tipper Gore, who founded the Parents Music Resource Center — the group ultimately responsible for the use of parental advisory stickers on mature-themed albums — partly as a response to the lyrics of the 'Purple Rain' track 'Darling Nikki,' which includes a memorable line about the song's subject getting scandalous with a magazine.
And it wasn't just the lyrics that made Prince a target — the album's broadened musical sound put him under fire from a portion of the audience who felt he was selling out to rock radio and abandoning his funk and R&B roots. It should have been a patently ridiculous allegation to anyone who listened to 'Purple Rain,' but it was also a source of annoyance for him, given how often he'd already had to endure Jimi Hendrix comparisons simply because he was another black artist playing guitar.
"Okay, let's be frank," he shot back when confronted with complaints that he "sold out" by recording such a rock-inflected album. "Can we be frank? If we can't do nothing else, we might as well be frank. Seriously, I was brought up in a black-and-white world and, yes, black and white, night and day, rich and poor. I listened to all kinds of music when I was young, and when I was younger, I always said that one day I would play all kinds of music and not be judged for the color of my skin but the quality of my work, and hopefully I will continue. There are a lot of people out there that understand this, 'cause they support me and my habits, and I support them and theirs."
Those controversies, however, ultimately added nothing more than footnotes to the main event, which was one of the more bracingly original mainstream records of the year — if not the decade — and a collection of songs that steamrolled radio straight through to the following spring; the final 'Purple Rain' single, the No. 25 pop hit 'Take Me With U,' was released in January 1985, followed in May by 'Raspberry Beret,' the first single from 'Around the World in a Day.' And that record was followed less than a year later by 'Parade' — the soundtrack to yet another Prince film. Brass ring firmly in hand, he was off and running, and although he'd suffer his share of setbacks over the next few years, the remainder of the decade saw him in the midst of an astonishingly successful run.
Maybe the only one who wasn't surprised by it all was Prince himself. "In people's minds, it all boils down to 'Is Prince getting too big for his britches?'" he laughed after 'Purple Rain' conquered the world. "I wish people would understand that I always thought I was bad. I wouldn't have got into the business if I didn't think I was bad."

Stability is not always reached by applying more power
Subject: Systems | April 18, 2006 - 04:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Tech Zone lets you in on a little secret about power supplies. It is not the total wattage that defines system stability, it is the ability to deliver that power without fluctuations. Find out more in their full article.
"The PSU Factor, for some reason, wasn't necessarily discussed as much in the years before when
creating computer systems for consumers. After all, consumers did not need such a reliable power
system for their machines--or so it was thought. The question of why power current was not an
issue several years ago, is still not answered. It could have been attributed to a basic lack of
awareness, or possibly computer manufacturers didn't make it a priority in creating products for
the consumer. What is potentially more revelating, is that many hard drive errors and operating
system errors in the past could be attributed to a lack of a stable power supply and a lack of a
more powerful power supply unit. Of course, we just simply won't know since there isn't much
documentation and hasn't been much investigation into past computer issues. However, we do know
many computer users are not having as many previous power supply problems when they are using more
stable PSUs (notice I didn't say MORE POWERFUL)."

PARIS (Jun. 15)
French Foreign Minister Louis de Guiringaud has told Parliament that his government will act on behalf of human rights in the Soviet Union but said that any such action "will have to be discreet if it should be effective."
De Guiringaud answered a number of questions in Parliament this week on the French government's attitude at the Belgrade conference on the implementation of the Helsinki agreement which opened today and on its stand when President Valery Giscard d'Estaing will meet Soviet Communist Party leader Leonid Brezhnev in Paris next week. Members of the National Assembly (lower House) and the Senate representing all political parties with the exception of the Communists, called on the government to take a vigorous stand in the defense of Soviet Jewry.
The Representative Council of Major Jewish Organizations in France (CRIF) has asked French parliamentarians, political parties and non-Jewish organizations to make their feelings known to the government on this issue. CRIF has urged Giscard to intervene on behalf of Jewish activist Anatoly Sharansky who is under arrest on charges of high treason.

TALLAHASSEE — A new shadow political group emerged in the governor's race this week with a nasty attack on Republican front-runner Rick Scott.
The statewide television advertisement produced by the Florida First Initiative, a federal 527 organization, accuses Scott's former hospital chain of refusing care to poor and dying patients.
The campaign of his chief rival, Attorney General Bill McCollum, denied involvement.
But new documents obtained Monday by the Times/Herald suggest McCollum is using his name to solicit contributions to the political group and possibly skirting state election laws.
"Bill McCollum asked that I forward this information to you," states one e-mail soliciting money for the Florida First Initiative, which includes the money-wiring number to the group's account at M&S Bank in Gainesville.
An attached memorandum from McCollum campaign attorneys notes that under federal law "there are no limits to the amount of money that the organization may accept or spend."
The group's donors and expenses are unknown because it won't file a federal disclosure for another month and state law doesn't require it to register with the Florida Division of Elections until nearer to the election.
But state law suggests McCollum might need to file a disclosure if he directly or indirectly solicited contributions for a federal 527 group, so-called by its designation in the IRS tax code.
A review of state records shows McCollum, who prides himself on public openness, never filed the paperwork required under the law.
"The way I read the law, any legislator is required to do the disclosure thing," said John French, an elections law expert who works for Scott.
McCollum's campaign said the he didn't need to file the form because he did not control the organization.
McCollum's spokeswoman wouldn't give an explanation about his involvement with the group except to say it's "not run by our campaign."
"We are not surprised by any number of organizations and individuals taking issue with Rick Scott's questionable history," said Kristy Campbell.
The connections, though, are numerous. McCollum's finance director, Carrie O'Rouke, is involved in soliciting money for the group and the two entities share the same TV ad producer and media buyer.
It's the second time this month a secretive group with ties to McCollum emerged to attack Scott, who came from nowhere to take a 13-point lead in the GOP primary race, according to a poll released last week.
Federal records list Alachua County GOP Chairman Stafford Jones, a loyal McCollum supporter, as the group's contact. Reached by phone, he hung up on a reporter.
Scott's campaign spokeswoman criticized the way McCollum is hiding his involvement in the attacks.
"Bill McCollum has sunk to a new low even for a career politician," Jennifer Baker said. "The outrageously false allegations are pathetic, and Bill McCollum should be embarrassed to be associated with such trash."
The 30-second advertisement makes numerous allegations against Scott's hospital chain, Columbia/HCA, for profiting from mistreatment. The most inflammatory claim suggests one of the hospitals in 1997 "turned away a poor man and left him to die outside their door."
Scott's campaign said the man was treated and released, and after his death the emergency room physician was suspended. Baker added that it's ridiculous to suggest Scott played a role in the incident, and noted the Las Vegas hospital in question provided $8 million worth of uncompensated care the same year.
Scott's campaign — which has spent at least $15 million on its own advertising — responded with a negative advertisement against McCollum.
The spot labels McCollum "a career politician," and suggests he is responsible for the mortgage crisis. It notes his votes in Congress and efforts as a lobbyist to loosen bank loan regulations.
And it features a toppling circle of dominos.

Rebels down Ukraine military plane, killing 49
By Oleksiy Kovalyov and Oleksandr Savochenko ,AFP Sunday, June 15, 2014, 12:04 am TWN
KIEV/LUGANSK, Ukraine -- Pro-Russian rebels shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane Saturday in the separatist east, killing all 49 troops on board in the biggest single loss of life in the two-month insurgency.
The attack came hours before top Moscow and Kiev officials were expected to meet in the Ukrainian capital for 11th-hour gas negotiations aimed at averting an imminent cut in Russian supplies that would also impact large swathes of Europe.
The early morning downing near the airport of the rebel stronghold city of Lugansk came a day after Ukrainian forces notched their biggest success in a deadly campaign to reunify the splintered nation by reclaiming control of the strategic southeastern industrial port of Mariupol.
The United States on Friday accused Russia of helping in the insurgency by sending tanks and rocket launchers to the pro-Moscow rebels, a charge denied by the Kremlin.
Closed-circuit camera footage of the downing showed a small flash flare in the sky when the large Il-76 plane was hit by what Ukrainian officials said was heavy-caliber machinegun fire.
About 30 seconds later, a massive second burst of light lit up the horizon when the plane apparently exploded upon hitting the ground while approaching Lugansk airport.
A spokesman for Ukraine's self-proclaimed "anti-terrorist operation" said the plane was carrying nine crewmembers and 40 paratroopers.
"They all died," spokesman Vladyslav Seleznyov told AFP by telephone. The four-engine jet was also carrying military equipment.
A spokesman for the Lugansk militants claimed rebel responsibility for the attack, telling Russia's RIA Novosti state news agency the plane had been downed with a surface-to-air missile.
Ukraine's new Western-backed President Petro Poroshenko immediately vowed to punish the guilty and deliver "an adequate response" to the rebels, signifying a possible further escalation of the campaign.
Ukrainian forces suffered still more casualties Saturday when pro-Russian gunmen ambushed a convoy of border guard patrol vehicles in Mariupol, killing three servicemen and wounding four.
'Shocked and deeply concerned'
Council of Europe Secretary-General Thorbjoern Jagland said he was "shocked and deeply concerned" by the attack and said the new pro-Western President Petro Poroshenko could "count on our support."
The French foreign ministry expressed its "solidarity with the authorities and the Ukrainian people."
An AFP correspondent heard heavy fighting and a series of loud explosions in the hours preceding the 1 a.m. downing in Lugansk, a city of 400,000 lying just 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of the Russian border.
The industrial center has been under effective rebel control since the eastern uprising began in early April, but Ukrainian forces had managed to hold on to its airport and use it to rotate equipment and troops serving in the campaign.
Yet they have been forced to repel an increasingly frequent series of raids on the air hub by the gunmen, who had also briefly seized the main international airport in the neighboring rebel-held city of Donetsk at the end of May.
The two-month insurgency is now known to have claimed at least 320 lives of civilians and fighters on both sides.

There's a big mystery in Chicago: How can the city's youth stay on track for the future, especially during the volatile, violent summer months? Some activists hope art is the answer, allowing young people to express themselves while simultaneously giving them a safe haven. These three programs are among many across Chicago working toward that goal.
Young Chicago Authors
Could the solution be as simple as a poem?
Demetrius Amparan's poem wasn't simple. It was an outlet, a way to deal with his best friend's death, a way to connect to people going through the same thing. "Lost Count: A Love Story," is a goosebump-inducing tribute to all the friends he and co-writer Nate Mitchell lost while growing up. It since has gone viral and was featured on HBO's "Brave New Voices."
"Growing up in Chicago is weird," said Amparan, 23, who grew up on the South Side and attended Morgan Park High School and Valparaiso University. "Being a teenager in Chicago is learning the train systems but learning color lines as well, learning places you just really can't go sometimes."
Finding a niche or passion, Amparan said, also is an important part of keeping young people off of the streets. For him, that place was Young Chicago Authors, an organization that teaches students to express themselves honestly through the written and spoken word. The group was founded in 1991 by Robert S. Boone in hopes of exposing Chicago's youth to creative writing. In 2001, it became the home of Louder Than a Bomb, the world's largest youth poetry festival.
Jasmine Barber, 21, of Beverly, said that visiting YCA helped her realize the writing she had always done to channel her emotions had value.
"I started going every week. That was like church for me. I finally was in a space where people cared about art just as much as I did," said Barber, who attended Morgan Park High School. "It brought me networks, it brought me friends … it brought me a place of security, a place where I feel like I can be myself. They helped me grow as an individual; they helped me find beauty that I didn't think existed in me; they helped me grow and polish my talents and my art; and just recently they helped me mend the relationship with my father."
While working at YCA as a site manager and teaching artist, Barber is writing a children's book called "Tea Time with Dragons," which she hopes to publish next year.
Barber's self-discovery is symbolic of what Amparan, now YCA's director of publications and communications and living in the West Loop, named as one of the organization's goals.
"Mostly it's just remembering that the best story starts with you," he said. "Once we develop that in students and artists and anyone who comes in our space, then we begin to engage in dialogue."

Yollocalli Arts Reach
The brightly colored exterior walls of Yollocalli Arts Reach in Little Village are barely a hint of the creativity that lies on the other side.
While the classes like screen printing, street art and journalism are a big draw to students, it is the staff's attitude that keeps students coming back.
"We're all a little eccentric or a little weird and goofy, and there's no judgment here," said Yollocalli youth development adviser Whitney Ross, 30, who grew up in Thornton. "It's kind of a fun place to be, and you can do crazy stuff and no one looks at you like you're the weird art kid."
The lack of judgment and close relationships between students and staff kept 18-year-old Elizabeth Ortiz hooked. She was introduced to Yollocalli through YCA's Louder Than a Bomb.
"It's an environment where your opinion feels just as valid as anyone else's," said Ortiz, who now interns at Yollocalli.
Fellow intern and former student Gabriela Ibarra said the attitude is infectious.
"It feels so welcoming when you meet them because they're so cheerful and they treat everyone the same way, and you pick that up right away when you go," Ibarra said. "It's a positive energy. When you get there you can't be mad, and when you leave it's just like, 'Man, I want to make someone else feel good.' "
Brenda Hernandez has lived the full Yollocalli experience, joining the organization as a student living in Pilsen and rising through the ranks as teaching assistant and teaching artist to become the current programs coordinator. She said that while Yollocalli, which in 2009 received the prestigious National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, does have a positive effect on the community, it's a little less verbal than most.
"I think it's about showing the subtler ways of social impact," the 29-year-old said. "It's not necessarily having a social protest art project but more like making public art pieces that kind of affect the communities every day." These public art pieces have become a huge part of Yollocalli's mission—more than 30 murals across the Chicago region were created by its students.
"We believe that by you being here, this is having a positive impact on you in the long run," said Yollocalli Director Vanessa Sanchez, 32. "All of them say that they had a great time because they were with adults who wanted to see them make great things."

South Chicago Art Center
In the late '90s, Sarah Ward was an art therapist, working with juvenile offenders on probation. But when she arrived to pick up her patients, she was unable to bring along their siblings, who also expressed a creative interest.
"I felt like that was a really perverse model to present to a kid, like, 'If you commit a crime, this nice lady will come over and do art with you and take you out for your birthday,' " said Ward, 45, of Humboldt Park. "I started thinking about the instability in poor children's lives, and I wanted to be that stable person … to be that person who lifts them up instead of that person who is just there with them when they're at their lowest."
She founded the South Chicago Art Center 13 years ago in an 800-square-foot studio on 91st Street, and has helped raise many of the kids who have become the young adults of South Chicago.
"This is a free program where the kids can come in after school. They have a place to be off the streets and they can be safe here," said 18-year-old Katarina Otero, who lives in South Chicago. "If I wasn't here, I'd be at home lying around being lazy. I love it. I get to make art for a living. I get to work with the kids. It's not just for me; it's for the community too. It's truly incredible what an impact it has just on everyone."
A new program at the SCAC, College SmARTS, which caters to students interested in an arts career, helped pave the way for Otero's future. Ward encouraged Otero, who was worried she wouldn't be able to go to college because she wasn't sure how to prepare or pay for applications, to become an SCAC intern. There, the two worked on Otero's applications and essays and prepared her arts portfolio. Otero will be attending Columbia College in the fall for animation.
"It's much more than just an art program. It's like a very holistic approach to figuring out how to heal a neighborhood, heal the wounds and move on," Ward said. "When we work with our younger kids, they're able to create with someone and it makes everything easier to communicate because you're creating something. And then they see them on the street when they're older and maybe something's going down, they're not as scared or they'll have a friend in the street."
In the spring, SCAC will gain a new, much larger home in a 6,000-square-foot space at 91st Street and South Houston Avenue. Under a new name, Skyway Studio, Ward hopes reach even more of the neighborhood. Many kids can't get to the current location because they are unable to cross gang lines.
As at Yollocalli, Ward's approach makes her program unique from many others her students encounter, including, she said, the school system.
"I think my expectations are really high for the kids too," she said. "I don't think they have a lot of people with high expectations for their lives and they meet those expectations, which is wonderful."

South American soybean supplies will be available soon. Soybean harvest is underway in Brazil and a big crop is expected. Most people expect the availability of soybean and soybean product supplies from Brazil and Argentina to have a significant impact on U.S. exports during the last 4 to 5 months of the 2012/13 crop year. With that in mind, we decided to look at the usual distribution of the South American crops and the implications for demand for U.S. soybeans.
Large crops are expected in Brazil and Argentina. Currently USDA is forecasting a record 83.5 million tonne soybean crop in Brazil and a near record crop of 53 million tonnes in Argentina. So far in the 2012/13 crop year, U.S. soybean exports and crush have been running at a pace that cannot be sustained through the summer months. The theory is that U.S. exports of soybeans and soybean products will slow dramatically once the South American supplies hit the market.
Brazil typically exports about half of the soybeans produced and crushes the other half. About half of the soybean meal produced in Brazil is then also exported. In contrast only about 1/4th of the soybean oil produced is exported. Domestic soybean meal demand growth has slowed dramatically in recent years, falling from about 10 percent per year or more in the mid-2000s to around 3 percent per year recently.
Despite the huge increase in soybean production in Brazil this year (17 million tonnes), USDA forecasts only 1 2 million tonne increase in Brazil's soybean exports and no increase in crush. The USDA forecast shows a 5.2 million tonne increase in soybean stocks in 2012/13. Clearly, the supplies of soybeans, meal and oil could be much larger than currently projected.
Argentina sells most of its crop as meal and oil. The increase in soybean production in Argentina year-over-year is 13 million tonnes, following the very poor crop of a year ago. USDA forecasts a 1.4 million tonne increase in Argentina's soybean crush and a 3.5 million tonne increase in exports.
Argentina crushes most of the soybeans produced, an average of 78 percent for the 2005 through 2011 seasons compared to the 70 percent forecast for this year. If the 2012/13 crush was near the 78 percent, production of meal and oil would be about 9.5 percent above currently projected levels. Argentina exports nearly all of the meal produced, i.e. around 95 percent, and nearly 60 percent of the oil produced. A significant share of the exports, around 40 percent, falls in the April through July period.
Soybean area and production continue to increase at a rapid pace. Soybean area harvested is record high in both Brazil and Argentina at 27.5 million hectares and 19.5 million hectares respectively. In 2005/06 the totals were 22.2 million hectares in Brazil and 15.2 million hectares in Argentina. Over the last seven years these two countries have added nearly 24 million acres, an amount equal to soybean acreage in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana combined. Together they harvest about 50 percent more acres of soybeans than we do in the U.S.

I would like to say, I have no problem with 600 yrs and I don't, but I can not shoot eggs 1shot=1egg. That being said there are better shooters than I at that, I will say it will depend on the target your going to be shooting. I enjoy moa at 600 yrds but again that 6'' at moa. If your going to shoot game less is better, I can have zombie size at 500+ and hit in the targeted area at 10x fixed but anything beyond 400 at p-dogs (being about 10'' high) mirage is VERY noticeable so I will only use 12 to 14 and sometimes its too much, that I may be witness to the hit and kill of them evil p-dogs. Again everyone enjoys different power levels and you find that each time the power is ajusted the POI's are affected larger targets maybe less noticeable but they change none the less.

Professor Krystal Callaway Jaime has published an essay, "The Importance of Civil Domestic Violence Restraining Orders," in the latest issue Home Front, the quarterly family violence newsletter of the California District Attorneys Association. The article addresses the reluctance of some courts to issue a criminal protective order and a civil domestic violence restraining order for the same victim, and asserts that "Obtaining criminal protective orders and civil domestic violence restraining orders in a collaborative setting can maximize victim safety and effective prosecution."
Professor Jaime is the supervising attorney for the UC Davis School of Law Family Protection and Legal Assistance Clinic. Prior to joining the King Hall Faculty, Krystal had a private practice in Woodland, California, where she represented individuals in family law and personal injury actions.
