Elijah Friedeman: Last night's debate - the CliffNotes version
Tuesday, June 14, 2011 10:48 AM
Elijah Friedeman, The Millennial Perspective
If you missed the debate, but don't feel like reading dozens of reactions from political pundits, here is the CliffNotes version of what happened.
Big picture:
Pretty much every candidate had a specific objective they need to accomplish through this debate (name recognition, dealing with baggage, sparking a failing campaign). Each candidate did well, but only maybe one or two candidates will benefit much because of last night.
Outside of the obvious, jobs and economy emphases, more or less, the theme was, "It's for the kids!" In most of the introductions, the candidates mentioned kids or grandkids, and how we must preserve America for those young people. Herman Cain, in his closing comments, reiterated that message.
Best moment:
I haven't heard anyone else mention this, so I'm not sure how many people actually saw it. I was watching the online feed from CNN, and after the candidates came out and waved, then went behind their podiums, there was what seemed to be an ad break, but I could still see and hear the feed. Someone in the audience yelled out a few words, then someone else, and everyone stood up to say the Pledge of Allegiance. It sounded like one of the candidates led the Pledge, but it was hard to tell.
Be honest, would an impromptu, crowd-instigated recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance have happend at a Democratic primary debate? For that matter, would it have happened any other year at a GOP primary debate?
Mitt Romney. Simply because he did well, weathered questions about Romneycare, and came off looking polished and presidential. If you're the frontrunner, it doesn't take much to be a winner.
Michele Bachmann exceeded my expectations. She did a great job of showing how she had worked to solve the important issues of the day, and she didn't come off looking like a crazy.
Tim Pawlenty. Just a day after minting the word "Obamneycare", Pawlenty wasn't willing to actually take ownership of it and go after Romney. Instead he blamed Obama for that term. He came off looking really weak.
"I'm not a politician. I'm a problem-solver." - Herman Cain
"I filed ... my paperwork to seek the office of the presidency of the United States today, and I'll very soon be making my formal announcement." - Michele Bachmann
"I hate to be the one to give you the bad news, Doctor. You're not going to get most of the money you put into Medicare if we don't restructure it." - Herman Cain
Worst thing about the debate:
Moderator John King asked what he called a "this or that" question of a candidate going to and coming from the breaks. The first "this or that" was directed to Santorum. "Leno or Conan?" Bachmann got "Elvis or Johnny Cash?" Pawlenty was on the receiving end of this humdinger: "Coke or Pepsi?"
I know King just wanted to add some levity to the evening. But while our country's dealing with a $14 trillion plus debt load and massive entitlement programs, I didn't think it was the best use of time.
Who was missing:
The seven-person debate featured a largely completed Republican primary field. But when the next debate rolls around, I think there will be two additional candidates on stage. Texas Governor Rick Perry and Sarah Palin will likely announce their candidacies before too long
Biggest play for headlines:
It wasn't Pawlenty's admission that he prefers Coke over Pepsi, believe it or not. The winner here was obviously Bachmann's announcement that she officially filed as a candidate for the presidency.
One-word descriptions:
Romney - Polished; Bachmann - Surprising; Cain - Fresh; Pawlenty - Weak; Gingrich - Who?; Paul - Stodgy; Santorum - Average.
Biggest missed opportunity:
Pawlenty's failure to get after Romney. Pawlenty is continually polling low among GOP primary voters, and needs to do something to gain traction. He just didn't do it, though. He may be the only candidate to lose support because of this debate.
Not a whole lot will change because of this debate. But the lines are now drawn and from here on out it's a race to the finish line.

Posted by: Mark Marich on July 25, 2011 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
On the heels of the recent dismal unemployment report and data showing that new firms are growing slower and staying smaller, the Kauffman Foundation presented a collection of broad policy recommendations last week at the National Press Club in Washington.
The Startup Act is a narrowly targeted but comprehensive set of ideas aimed at jump-starting the U.S. economy through more successful startups. The proposal features recommendations grounded in research from the Kauffman Foundation and emphasizes that a strong, sustained economic recovery in the United States will require more high-growth companies, a continuing stream of new ideas capable of being commercialized, fewer roadblocks to launch and grow startups, and low-cost capital available to finance them.
Ted Zoller, vice president of entrepreneurship at the Kauffman Foundation, highlighted four of the proposals during his testimony last week before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. At a hearing titled "Access to Capital: Fostering Job Creation and Innovation Through High-Growth Startups," he concluded with the following recommendations from the Startup Act:
The nonpartisan proposal was presented by Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation, and Robert Litan, Kauffman's vice president of research and policy, followed by videotaped remarks by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT).

Anti-Bullying Campaign | Video
Amy Fox | 11/28/2012High school is never an easy time in a person`s life, there`s so many issues teens have to deal with.
"Bullying is an imbalance of power that one person does not have power and the other person does. And, so it can take a lot of different forms," said Central Campus Guidance Consular Lisa Goldade.
Bullying can be verbal, psychological or even physical, but at Central Campus, they`re taking a preemptive step to stop it altogether.
"Any opportunity we get to bring it to the forefront, you know, the things you need to do to avoid bullying to stay away from drugs. It`s always something we take and repetition is our friend. So we will do things over and over again," said Goldade.
Through a year long series of activities and programs, Central Campus hopes to unify the student body and make everyone feel welcomed.
"We do see, like, students sitting alone at lunch, and we kind of encourage kids to just hang out with them because they are new two the area, and they don`t know anybody," said Ryan Brent, Central Campus Key Club President.
One of the newest forms of bullying is difficult to stop.
As Central Campus Assistant Principal Robert Martin explains, "What I`m seeing in from my classes is a lot of the online things and it`s a very difficult animal to be honest and attack.�
While bullying is moving away from the classroom and moving more towards the internet, there are still ways for students to report the problem and stay anonymous.
"We take every type of incident or report very seriously,� said Martin. "We interview all parties that are involved, of course, and oftentimes that just snowballs to where you think you may have it narrowed down to one to two kids, and the next thing you know, you`re talking to several."
While bullying still exists, Central Campus is happy with the progress their school is making.
"We`re headed toward extinctions of those behaviors that, you know, make some people feel like they are on the outside. And, so, school-wide we include the students in activities, the clubs, you know, and participation year long and make it a lifestyle," said Goldade.
Central Campus looks forward to carrying out their new anti-bullying motto: "Not here, not now, not ever."
When a student is bullied at Central Campus, they are encouraged to fill out a student bullying report form.

For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 4
Crept in unnoticed – Now how is this possible? How can it be that some slip into the assembly to do harm and no one notices? The Greek verb suggests that they settled in alongside (pareisduo – coming alongside twice – in duo – both in the open and hidden). How did they get in? Well, they must have said the right things. They must have pretended to be worshippers. They had to look the part. If this reminds you of something in Genesis 3, don't be surprised. They were unnoticed because they appeared to share a common commitment. But time will tell, and in this case, their true colors soon became apparent.
What were those true colors? How did Jude conclude these people were the enemy? He tells us that they turned God's grace into licentiousness. What does that mean? Grace is the Greek word charis. Its Hebrew equivalent is shamah – to rejoice, be joyful, be glad. But in Hebrew thought, joy is both inward and outward. The feelings result in action. In particular, shamah is the experience of God's saving acts. Joy comes when God delivers. This is the sense that Jude has in mind. God has saved us. We rejoice. But Jude sees the need for a warning. Salvation does not mean life without obligations. Our rejoicing entails a certain code of conduct – a path of righteousness. Yes, we have joy because God has delivered us, but that does not mean we are free to do whatever we wish. It means that we are free to obey His instructions. Without the visible sign of obedience, we are pseudo-believers. We might have a wonderful warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside, but we lack all the outward evidence that indicates God actually delivered. You don't get one without the other.
Notice that Jude expressly indicates what kinds of behaviors deny the true inner experience of charis – shamah. He uses the Greek word aselgeia, a word that Peter associates with Sodom and Gomorrah. But perhaps we are too quick to relegate the meaning only to sexual immorality. While this is the usual meaning, the word carries the idea of license, not simply sexual permissiveness. In other words, Jude warns not to turn the goodness of God's benevolence into an excuse for permitting any behavior we wish. Grace comes with rules. That doesn't mean grace depends on rule-keeping. That would be the mistake of associating God's goodness with human achievement. But just because God sheds abroad His grace on undeserving men does not mean that grace in action has no boundaries. Grace is demonstrated by the change in behavior that accompanies its transformative character. Grace, as Paul reminds us, is never an excuse for sinning all the more.
All of this seems perfectly reasonable. At the human level, we love our children but that doesn't mean we let them do whatever they want to do. Love comes with obligations and expectations, not for the good of the parent but for the good of the child. But notice what this implies. It implies that there is an acceptable and recognized standard of conduct. It's no good trying to tell your children that they need to live according to the family expectations if you don't tell them what those expectations are. And that's Jude's point. Those who are part of the assembly of the Messianic community have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel and therefore, they have been given instructions that accompany what it means to be Israel. To suggest that people can experience God's grace and reject these instructions is contradictory – and Jude knows it. That's why he warns his flock about the destructive nature of those who teach that the rules no longer apply.
I suppose we should ask ourselves if we have turned God's grace into permission to do what we want to do rather than what He wants us to do. And, obviously, we aren't talking about Sodom and Gomorrah anymore.

All You Need to Know about RC toys Hawaii
RC toys refer to toys that are controlled using remotes (remote controlled). These toys include a variety of electronic devices such as cars and helicopters. RC toys are fun to play with especially because they can be controlled remotely. That can be played indoors or outdoors. However this largely depends on the size. Most of these RC toys are usually meant for the older category of children, from around 8 years or more. This is because they require a higher level of intelligence to operate the commands.

In Italy linen never fell into oblivion. The cooling material had always been used for summer suits, shirts and trousers, radiating nonchalance and elegance. The typical creases were considered a sign of the genuine, noble quality of linen.
Pure linen is a sensual experience. Its lively and somehow nostalgic structure and appearance constitute its character and beauty and relieves the eye, has a hearty grip and a smell of hay and summer meadows.
Outside Milano, in a sizzling Sunday, I'm wearing a corean collar linen shirt and a linen trouser. I feel cool!!

Welcome to Lochearnhead Shears 2012
Lochearnhead Shears was established in 1993, and over the years it has become one of the larger sheep shearing competitions in the United Kingdom. Sheep shearers from all over the World compete to take home the Scottish Blackface Shearing Champion title. Blackface sheep are predominant in this area and require extra skills from the competitors to overcome their flighty nature and the coarser wool of this mountain breed. Situated in central Scotland at the West end of Lochearn, it is an idyllic location for our event, surrounded by hills and the near by Ben Vorlich, at the start of the Highland mountainous range, where Highland hospitality is as much breathtaking as the views. Along with our competitors, we must thank our sponsors both large and small, without them we would have great difficulty in maintaining our competition to the standard we have achieved to date.

Probably a coincidence, but during recent electrical storm in Canberra lost signal to Channel 10 in Canbera. When aerial is reconnected direct to tv, Channel 10 reception is fine, reconnect to Play TV and it disappears. Have rescanned many times using both Australia and "other" as locations, but 10 is nowhere to be seen.
Any clues much appreciated. All other channels are ok.

Hi there,
It's generally not recommended to use "Other" as your location.
Do you have any recordings on your PS3 / PlayTV you'd rather keep?
If not, you could also try a Full Set-up (Found in Settings -> Set-up -> Full Set-up) NB: This will delete any recordings.

If you would like to quote from the "Framework" article, please copy and paste the following text:
Author: ANACOMTitle: "Framework"
Published: 30.10.2007
URL: http://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=531977
View: 20.06.2013
One of the regulation objectives pursued by ANACOM is to promote competition in the offer of electronic communication networks and services, resources and related services and to encourage efficient investment in telecommunications infrastructure. Part of this objective is to avoid inefficient infrastructure duplication and inconvenience caused to citizens and business by frequent and extensive underground works, with consequent disruptions to traffic levels and territorial planning, as well as environmental repercussions.
In fact, in many cases and in certain geographic areas, companies offering publically available electronic communication networks and services are finding it difficult to replicate economically efficient investment in ducts. There may also be physical limitations in respect of the viability in replicating conduits.
Accordingly, access to existing ducts and sharing out the investment necessary for the installation of new ducts goes some way to dealing with these concerns, avoiding undesirable duplication of infrastructure and reducing the overall amount of investment that each company needs to bear.
Under the terms of the Electronic Communications Law (Law no. 5/2004 of 10 February), the public telecommunications service concessionaire - currently PT Comunicações - has to, by agreement, provide companies which offer publically available electronic communication networks and services with access to the ducts, masts and other installations and locations which are their property and with whose management the concessionaire is charged. Accordingly these companies may install and maintain their systems, equipment and other resources.
The scope of ANACOM's intervention may also include the ducts and infrastructure of other entities, where it is necessary to determine that locations and resources should be shared, under the terms of paragraph 2 of article 25 or include intervention in order to ensure compliance with the principle of non-discrimination as set forth in paragraph 5 of article 26 (both article of the Electronic Communications Law).
Also in accordance with this law, the concessionaire is charged with providing an offer of access to these resources, which shall set out the conditions of access and use, under terms to be defined by ANACOM.

Our Truth, Our Voice
Los Angeles is well represented
The detective is arguably as much a cultural icon as the cowboy in the pantheon of American mythology. The offspring of myriad traditions both home-grown and abroad, the detective matured in the wake of the Depression by writers voicing the public's erosion of faith in the established institutions meant to bind the fabric of society.
Here's a look at African American people and issues making headlines throughout the country.
California San Diego college students and volunteers will carry out their sixth home restoration project on Wednesday, July 10 through Sunday, July 14. as part of the "Healing our Heroes' Homes" (H3) program created by the nonprofit Embrace. The five-day effort will take place at the home of medically retired Marine Corps Capt. Sarah Bettencourt. Bettencourt served with many different units across the country during the Global War on Terrorism and developed a rare neurological disorder in 2008. With a focus to restore the homes of disabled veteran homeowners, H3 falls in line with Embrace's mission to mobilize college-student volunteers and community members to serve less fortunate members of civilian and veteran communities. The project for the Bettencourts' home includes kitchen and bathroom remodeling, building ADA-compliant disability ramps, widening their driveway to ADA standards, widening doorways and landscaping. District of Columbia The 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival will showcase its five-year community research project on African American identity with the program "The Will to Adorn: African American Diversity, Style, and Identity." This multicity collaboration examines the history and culture of the aesthetics of African Americans. The festival will be held June 26-30 and July 3-7, outdoors on the National Mall between Seventh and 14th streets. "Whether we realize it or not, we are all dress artists. The way we compose our look is a creative expression of our ideas about who we are and who we aspire to be," said Diana N'Diaye, program curator. "This program explores the diversity of African American traditions of style, but also teaches young people the importance of documenting their own culture and saving that information for themselves and future generations."

For some reason I don't see new posts from Nilesy, but I see new ones from all the other people I follow. It's just Nilesy that doesn't show up. And before anyone suggests it I've unfollowed and refollowed him a few times already.
Hey, I'm James I run both Yogscast-Nilesy and I am responsible for managing Nilesy's Tumblr. Sorry for the mistake looks like I was playing with some of the sites features and must have put you on some list that stopped you seeing the posts. Derp :/ I also fixed the Ask.

Heisman Trophy Candidates '08 - Top Ten
Photo - QB Chase Daniel - Missouri
1. QB Tim Tebow - Florida - 6'3" 230 lbs. - Jr.
Tebow is a rare returning Heisman Trophy winner who looks to match Archie Griffin as the only two time winner. He had one of the best offensive seasons in college history last year with over 4,000 combined passing and rushing yards and an incredible 55 total TDs. He put up incredible numbers including 234 completions of 350 attempts for 67% and 3,286 yards, 32 TDs and 6 interceptions. He also carried 210 times for another 895 yards and an amazing 23 TDs . With most returning starters to the Gators offense that was nationally ranked and scored over 40 points a game, Tebow can light it up again this fall. He is a threat to both pass and run and can win another Heisman trophy with strong games vs top SEC clubs.
2. Knowshon Moreno - RB - Georgia - 5'11" 215 lbs. - Soph
Another blue chip Georgia tailback and former New Jersey great running back. He exploded onto the scene with a tremendous freshman campaign that included 248 carries for 1,334 yards for a fine 5.4 yard average. He rushed for 14 TDs and added 20 receptions for 253 yards. It was one of the greatest freshman seasons on record almost duplicating former Bulldog runner Hershel Walker and NFL great Marshall Faulk. His best performance came against arch rival Florida when he ran for 188 yards and 3 TDs that were vital in the Georgia victory. He is a developing back who continues to get bigger and combines fine quickness, speed and power. He can also catch the ball and has the package to be a complete feature back. The Georgia-Florida matchup on Nov.1st may determine the Heisman winner with several prime candidates on both squads.
3. Chase Daniel - QB - Missouri - 6' 225 lbs. - Sr.
Senior passer led the Tigers to their 1st Big 12 championship game last season. He is a savvy performer in the Tigers' spread offense with fine leadership and extensive experience. He won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year last season and is the favorite to do it again. Last season, he had 384 completions of 563 attempts for a 68% rate for 4,306 yards, 33 TDs and 11 interceptions. He will have one of the most versatile weapons in the nation in soph WR Jeremy Maclin. He is a winner and puts up impressive numbers as one of the nation's more consistent leaders. He is geared for another huge season and with big performances vs Illinois and Texas, he could be easily one of the finalists for this award.
4. Pat White - QB - West Virginia - 6'1" 190 lbs. - Sr.
Electrifying athlete has rare talent for the position with the skills to be a dual threat and capable of beating a team with his feet as well as his arm. He is the ideal option type QB with great running skills and underrated passing ability. As a junior, he had 144 completions of 216 attempts for a fine 66% rate for 1,724 yards, 14 TDs, 4 picks with 197 rushing attempts for 1,335 yards for a 6.8 yard average and 14 rushing TDs. Over his career, he has been a huge winner and a difference maker on the W Va club the past last 3 years directing one of the most explosive attacks in the nation. He is capable of a fast start this fall and ranking among the best going into key midseason contests.
5. Chris Wells - RB - Ohio St - 6'1" 235 lbs. - Jr.
This is a talented workhorse runner who combines a rare combination of size and speed. He possesses breakaway speed with big back power and strength. He can hit the home run or make the tough inside yardage. Over the '07 season, he had 274 carries, 1,609 yards for a fine 5.9 yard average and 15 TDs. He had nine 100 yard games in '07 with his biggest games in key contests especially vs Michigan when he ran for 222 yards on 39 rushes with 2 TDs in their huge 14-3 win. He came up big in their loss to LSU when he rushed for 146 yards. His early '08 season contest with Southern Cal vs their nationally ranked defense will test him to the fullest and will either push him to the top of the Heisman possibilities or out of the elite candidates into the midseason.
6. Percy Harvin - WR - Florida - 5'11" 180 lbs. - Jr.
Explosive playmaker has been a difference maker over his short career. He has struggled with injuries over his stay and starts the season with some heel problems that could limit him some early action. Over the 2007 season, he had 59 receptions for 858 yards and 4 TDs with 83 carries for 764 yards and another 6TDs despite missing two games. He has been is one of the most dangerous weapons in college football and will compete with teammate Tim Tebow for voters interest. He must show that he can stay healthy for an entire season especially to match impact and overall numbers with other candidates.
7. Michael Crabtree - WR - Texas Tech - 6'3" 215 lbs. - Soph
Gifted receiver is a huge target with tremendous hands and game breaking speed. He can catch the ball over the middle, and hit the home run from anywhere on the field. Over his freshman season, he had a dominant performance with 134 receptions for 1,962 yards, a 14.6 yard average and 22 TDs. He plays in a system that gets him the ball consistently and he should duplicate those numbers despite special attention this fall. He had 8 games of 10 catches+ with eleven 100 yard contests including back to back impressive weeks vs Big 12 power clubs, Texas and Oklahoma. He is a rare athletic specimen and capable of being the best in the nation once again.
8. Jeremy Maclin - WR - Missouri - 6'1" 205 lbs - Soph
One of the most versatile and dangerous playmakers in the nation as a receiver, runner and returner. In just his freshman year, he led the NCAA with a freshman record of 2,776 total yards that was just short of 200 yards per game. As a freshman, he had 80 receptions for 1,055 yards and 9 TDs and 51 carries for 375 yards and 4 TDs. He scored as a wide receiver, a rusher and as both a punt returner and kick returner. He finished 2nd as the Big 12 Freshman of the Year to
Michael Crabtree. He combines rare speed and fine size with all has the tools to duplicate his freshman performance. He will compete for voters attention with teammate QB Chase Daniel among others.
9. Matthew Stafford - QB - Georgia - 6'3" 235 lbs. - Jr.
Emerging leader for the highly ranked Bulldogs. He has the size and the ability to be at the top of this list with furthers improvement and development. He must improve his accuracy and overall numbers to move up in this talent group of candidates. Over the 2007 season, he had only 56% completion rate for 2,523 yards, 19 TDs and 10 interceptions. Teammate RB Knowshon Moreno will be a cornerstone performer and keep defenses honest but both players overall production could be limited by a deep and talented offense. He faces one of the toughest schedules in the country that could push him up quickly if he produces in big game situations.
10. Graham Harrell - QB - Texas Tech - 6'3" 200 lbs. - Sr.
Terrific triggerman for Mike Leach's offensive system that annually is at the top in the country in passing. Over the 2007 season, he threw an incredible 713 times with 512 completions for an impressive 71% for 5,705 yards, 48 TDs and 14 interceptions. He is a savvy leader and a very accurate passer who directs this attack flawlessly. The presence of gifted wide receiver Michael Crabtree helps his cause but how he produces vs Big 12 powers Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma will determine his rank in this talented class of honorees.

Do You Favor Lowering HOPE Grant Qualifications?
If passed, House Bill 372 would reduce the GPA requirement for the HOPE Grant to its original level of 2.0.
In the midst of partisan politics, a bi-partisan effort in the Georgia legislature would return the GPA requirement for the HOPE Grant to 2.0. Introduced Feb. 14, 2013, House Bill 372 proposes lowering the GPA requirement from the current 3.0 mark. Gov. Nathan Deal was quick to voice his support of the measure. "After talking with many members of the General Assembly and crunching the numbers at our budget office, I'm glad to report that we'll be able to lower the GPA requirement for the HOPE Grant back to 2.0 after raising it to 3.0 for budgetary reasons two years ago," Deal said in a press release. "I believe this additional benefit will help Georgia families trying to get ahead and will boost the state's ability to attract and fill high…

If this happens, it just becomes another entitlement program rewarding those who don't want to work hard. It also takes away the pride one might have in achievement. As it stands now, schools are "giving" superior grades and there are some whocan't pass even the most basic classes. I agree that HOPE Funds should be used for technical schools and those kind of schools should be encouraged by …   more ›

Umbrellas in the Rain
You can watch only so much sports this rainy weekend. The rest is rain. Intruding, interrupting, damaging, but at the same time very much spectacular, alive and chilling. Nature in action, best dealt with by dancing and jumping in puddles, or with a sturdy umbrella above your head. This is the latter.

Smart Woman: Non-So Healthy Foods
By: Bob Bartlett
Updated: March 20, 2012
"So you want that first ingredient to be a healthy ingredient," said nutritionist Katherine Tallmadge.
Some so-called healthy items that experts say fall short of being healthy are, multi-grain items, many of these products are loaded with white flour.
"Studies show people who eat too much white flour, processed ingredients, have more diabetes, cancer, and are more overweight," said Tallmadge.
Look for whole grains as being the first ingredient in the product.
And vitamin drinks, "Are basically soft drinks with a vitamin pill," said Tallmadge.
Vitamin drinks and sports drinks are full of fructose, or sugar, and many other extra vitamins, experts say, the body doesn't process. Many have the same amount of calories found in a soda.
And chips?
Tallmadge said, "If on the label it says low-fat, baked not fried, popped not fried or baked, people are attracted to those products and think they are healthy. Ain't necessarily so."
Things to look out for, next time you go to the store.

No DDR400 support from VIA's new KT400 chipset
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Now correct me if I'm wrong but would you not expect DDR400 support from a chipset which names suggest it does? Reading over at VIA Hardware I noticed a story at X-bit Labs saying that VIA's new KT400 chipset will NOT have support for DDR400 memory operations. This is a bit of a concern especially since all the rumors of a possible FSB increase by AMD for future Athlon XP processors and the fact that DDR400 would be able to be utilized quite well.
More information at X-bit Labs

Contrary To Reported Claim By Amanda Knox There Is Zero "Wave Of Defamation Suits"
Posted by Peter Quennell
No defamation suits have begun. But actually it is WORSE. And Knox would be suicidal to leave her story unchanged.
Bob Barnett and Ted Simon and anyone else presumably trying to give Knox good advice might like to take note. Canada's National Post is reporting this:
Her book, which earned her an advance of almost $4-million, also risks inflaming Italian public opinion, offending the nation's judges and triggering a wave of new defamation actions by the police and prosecutors she accuses of framing her.
"People asked me if I would change the book and I said absolutely not … I am not going to change my story just because someone is threatening to sue me but I mean … it sucks. It sucks and it sucks."
Defamation, slander and libel refer to private, personal, civil suits against other persons who tell a malicious untruth. Knox and Sollecito are not (or not yet) facing anything like that.
Each through their unwise books and interviews has sparked a single investigation by a Chief Prosecutor (in Florence, Verona and Bergamo) into whether they are in contempt of court.
Those who would seek to undermine the due process of the Italian justice system and the proper functioning of the courts (very, very rare now) might include any or all of these seven groups:
- The three regional mafias;
- A few defense lawyers and well-funded defendants;
- Politicians shielding corruption;
- In some instances the freemasons.
- Those wanting investigations like MOF/Narducci to drop dead;
- Muckraking magazines like Oggi;
- Some anti-Italy foreigners.
If officers of the Italian courts are publicly accused of crimes in the media while a legal process is playing out, and the claims are malicious and untrue, this is not a civil matter (libel or defamation).
It is a criminal matter (in the UK and US too) for which sentences can include long prison terms.
If the officers of the Italian court who are attacked are very senior and have an antimafia role they are REQUIRED BY LAW to request a criminal investigation by a chief prosecutor to take place.
They esentially have no further role themselves except to provide true testimony in court.
A range of measures is then available to investigating chief prosecutors, up to and including invoking the powers of the Council of Magistrates and even the President of the Italian republic.
Knox and Sollecito both seem to have point-blank accused a number of officers of the court of crimes. In Deputy Prosecutor General Mignini's case, he has been accused by both:
- By Sollecito of offering an illegal deal to make him sell out on Knox. Sollecitos own father said on national TV that this was simply a lie.
- By Knox of illegally interrogating her about Patrick with no defense lawyer present. But the trial record shows Mignini was not even in the room.
These seem to be about as open-and-shut as contempt of court cases can ever get. "Sollecito and Knox, did you make these false claims or not? Yes or no?"
If the answer is yes, they will lose their criminal case in the blink of an eye. Then, possibly, one or more private or civil defamation suit might start.

John L. Bates announces his candidacy as a Democrat for the office of the sheriff of Bryan County.
Bates has more than 15 years of experience in the field, operations, and investigations. He has experience in making arrests, report-writing, writing/serving search warrants, and transporting prisoners as well as testifying in state, tribal, and federal Courts.
"I have been a resident of Bryan County over forty years," Bates said. "I have an intimate knowledge of the land and people who live here. I know this gives me an edge over other the candidates in this race."
Bates is the proud father of Jacob and Harrison Bates. His immediate family all live here in Bryan County.
"I intend to improve the safety of this county not only for my family but your family also," Bates said. "As sheriff I will not only monitor my personnel, but go out into the field to work cases. I will also seek out grants for personnel, equipment, and training to better serve the people. I will cooperate with local, state, and federal authorities in order to achieve my goal of making our area a safer place to live.
Bates believes the primary function of the sheriff's office should be to investigate crimes involving people and property. Especially crimes against children and the elderly are of particular importance to him.
"I have been a detective for the last eight years of my career," Bates said. "I can attest to the ever-increasing drug-related crimes in Bryan County. I have seen families destroyed by the use of illegal and prescription drugs. Most crimes in Bryan County can be directly attributed to substance abuse. I have worked murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, and thefts that all were drug related. I promise to continue to go after drug dealers and manufactures to stop this horrible plague on our community.
"As your sheriff, I promise the office of sheriff will keep evolving as we grow as an agency. Recently computer programs that assist us in finding stolen property have been purchased, Thermal imaging technology has been obtained by a grant, and ' Mobil Cop' dispatching have all been incorporated to assist us in fighting crime. The department helicopter and airplane have been used to pick up prisoners and find missing persons. The sheriff's office must continue to change with times to remain a modern police force."
The establishment of a "Tip Line" and "Community Policing Program" will be a goal of Bates to enhance public cooperation in solving area crimes. Information from area residents has been the key to solving many cases in the past.
"My mission as your sheriff will be to prevent, reduce, and disrupt crime through aggressive, professional, and compassionate enforcement of the law," Bates said.
Personal and Professional Information
Bates was born and raised in Bryan County, Oklahoma. His parents are Charles and Carolyn Bates of Durant, Ok.
He attended Durant Public Schools and graduated from Durant High School in 1988.
He attended Southeastern Oklahoma State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Recreation in 1996.
In 1998 Bates was hired by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Tribal Police. He graduated with a Basic Police Certification from the Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training Academy in 1999 (Oklahoma City).
He was cross-commissioned as a deputy sheriff by the sheriffs of Latimer and Pittsburg County, Oklahoma while employed by the Tribal Police 1998-2001.
In 2002 he was hired by the Bryan County Sheriff's Office as a deputy sheriff. Hewas promoted to the rank of detective in 2004.
In 2008 he was promoted to Detective/ Sergeant. I also obtained an "Advanced Law Enforcement Certificate" from Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training in 2008.
In 2010 he graduated from the Oklahoma Criminal Investigators Academy in Ada, Oklahoma.
In April 2005 and June 2009 he was sworn in as a "Special Deputy Marshal" to assist the US Marshal Service with "Operation Falcon."

Former Lord of Winterfell, on 06 March 2012 - 07:28 AM, said:
So let me see if I have this right. If employers, en masse, decide to drop their group plans and if they make the majority of the American people believe it, voters will decide that the only recourse is to elect a president and a Congress that pledge to repeal the law, whether or not they could actually do it.
First of all, Americans are pretty divided on the ACA, although a majority do not want to see it repealed entirely. It's also interesting to note that in many polls, even those who report opposition to the law change their minds when they understand what repealing it would mean. So it's not clear to me that Americans are going to flock to the polls to vote Republican on that basis.
Second, that reasoning is a long way to walk, and I'm not sure most voters are that analytical in terms of policy. I don't think the ACA is going to drive turnout this year amongst any but the most partisan who, to be honest, would have voted anyway.
Third, I have not seen any sign of a groundswell movement amongst employers to end their group coverage. That's not something that has happened much in Massachusetts, BTW, so I don't see why it would happen nationwide. Even if that should come to pass, I wouldn't count on it happening soon enough to affect the 2012 elections.
So I am not convinced that the scenario you outline is likely.

It seems as if the first Aquatics Live event happened only a few days ago in London, and now just a few months ahead of us looms the 2nd event. You excited yet?
You can see what we thought of the 1st event in part one and part two. How will Aquatics Live 2012 compare? So far it's looking very promising with many more exhibitors listed and a good few awaiting to be confirmed once the summer holidays end. For us reefkeepers, I think Simon Garratt's Reef Building Workshop will be a highlight.
Last year saw an impressive display from TMC. I'm sure they'll be there again.
We'll keep you updated on details for the event, but for now, you can check out the press release below.
In 2011, Aquatics Live proved its value as a live event where fish keeping enthusiasts of every persuasion could get together to indulge their interest and share their knowledge and experience.
It was so successful that in 2012 it has been moved into bigger halls and there are already more exhibitors signed up than last year.
The show comprises a great combination of seminars, feature areas and exhibition stands which all-in-all provide a full days entertainment. The organisers maxim is Inspire, Inform and Entertain and they cater for enthusiasts at every level from novice to expert.
In the seminar theatres this year, Joe Yaiullo from the Long Island Aquarium, New York will be leading the marine sessions and Simon Garratt from Reef Eden International will be speaking in the mornings. Chris Lukhaup, rock n roll legend, shrimp expert and nano tank specialist will also be holding two sessions per day.
Feature areas will include the Reef Building Workshop which is sponsored by Giesemann Aquaristik in association with Reef Eden International, and for younger visitors the Marine Wildlife Roadshow, where they can learn about the oceans through interaction with life-size inflatables which include a 9-metre Minke whale!
Aquatics Live takes place on 10th & 11th November at London Olympia. More details and tickets are available through the show website www.Aquatics-Live.com and for the latest show news, Like the Facebook page *or follow them on Twitter*

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28
We're far from perfection, yet perfect forever,
For Christ is our righteousness, Lord, and our Savior;
No justification for sin can we offer,
Yet sanctified fully, we're now His forever. —Lee
Good morning 2013
Good things will happen if you have faith
and believe with all your heart.
It may take time but it will happen.
…I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. — Philippians 3:13b-14 NLT
Dear Lord, before I go off into the battle today,
forgive me of my sin and lead me in the path You
want me to go. I want to serve You. Empower me
to live for You and Your will. Amen.
Worship, praise, and adoration,
All are due to Jesus' name.
Freely give your heart's devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim. — Anon.
JESUS is the REASON for the SEASON
The very purpose of Christ's coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. God's love is the heart of Christmas. -Rev. Billy Graham (Emphasis mine)
Personality is the unique, limitless part of our life that makes us distinct from everyone else. It is too vast for us even to comprehend. An island in the sea may be just the top of a large mountain, and our personality is like that island. We don't know the great depths of our being, therefore we cannot measure ourselves. We start out thinking we can, but soon realize that there is really only one Being who fully understands us, and that is our Creator. [read more]
Keep calm and do not worry.
Beware of the idea that you have to develop a holy life alone. It is impossible to develop a holy life alone; you will develop into an oddity and a peculiarism, into something utterly unlike what God wants you to be. The only way to develop spiritually is to go into the society of God's own children, and you will soon find how God alters your set. God does not contradict our social instincts; He alters them. [Biblical Psychology, 189 L]
Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation. —Schutz
When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself. — The Moral Foundations of Life, 728 L

Lutheran Church helps out with hostel fees |
Written by Edy Erich !Narib | |||
Wednesday, 02 May 2012 22:25 | |||
The Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Republic, Dr Zephania Kameeta, has decided to use church funds to pay hostel fees for more than 190 learners at its different hostels, irrespective of their ecumenical status. Since the program formerly known as the Ambassadors' Scholarship programme, which was sponsored by Winrock International and assisted the hostel dwellers with toiletries, transport and stationery, ended its five-year round of funding, the Bishop embarked upon this ambitious program to assist marginalised children in the Lutheran church school hostels. The program, with financial assistance of the United Evangelical Mission, donated N$100 000 for the first semester and another N$100 000 will be handed over during the last semester.

Over the thousands of years Humankind has dealt with garbage and other wastes, they have had to deal with the biological duties of Flydom. Though flies are dirty and carriers of disease, the world would be buried in crap and carcasses if it weren't for their intervention. However, they carry disease and are really dirty, so control is an issue.
Some of the earlier controls were to take a certain poisonous mushroom and float it in milk, stinky baits with a similar funnel setup, sticky traps, and the Dog. These forms are not pragmatic for whatever reason, the dog gets full, it takes days to get the stink just right, the stink is stinky, and lack of mushrooms come to mind.
This trap is pleasant enough to keep in the house and works much better, is more efficient, than any of the other methods commonly used.
Step 1: Fly Behavior
The easiest way to do this is to find a big pile of dog crap in the yard and watch it closely. This is a great activity for the family and friends over a few beers during a cookout. We usually cut out little fly wings for the kids and play games like "catch the fly" where one of them takes off making buzzing sounds and have all the other kids chase after them with nets. The dogs join in and it's just fun all around. Anyway, if you watch long enough you will start to see things like me, and realize that when flies get done with whatever they do there, they do two things:
1) They fly straight up.
2) They go towards the light.
See, when flies handle their sacred (Sacred to Flies. What did you think I meant?) functions in the great scheme of life, they seek out stinky dead things all over. If it happens to be in a tight place, they crawl around following the smell until they get to the spot they need to be. Getting back out is a little harder, because in an enclosed space they can't smell anything but stinky, so follow the light. Now you know why they always seem pretty stupid about realizing they can't get out THROUGH the window glass.
The other problem flies have is nobody seems to think of them as pets. Either somebody is trying to eat them, or just plain doesn't like them for some reason. Understandably, they have a real persecution complex, so over the millions of years they've been in existence have developed these paranoid responses which, noting their habits, have worked out pretty good for them.
Beyond the fact that his egress is not likely to be down and under that pile of poop, the most vulnerable time for our leetle friend is when he's taking off. Considering the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, getting airborne is simply a matter of getting there fast. Now catch him.

I used to own a store bought flytrap made from a canning jar lid, a disk of screen with a small hole in lieu of the metal lid, and a small plastic cylinder with a hole that fitted thru the hole on the screen. I think the hole was drilled or molded onto a "T" shape. I put some dog stuff in it, screwed on the lid, and it worked like a charm.
When Dad was on Saipan in WW2, he told me they made industrial size fly traps there because the flies were so bad after the invasion. I thought he was joking and about a hour later we were finishing a homemade fly trap with some scrap screen and two 1x10 chunks of wood. The wood held a length of screen shaped like a arrowhead with small holes in the apex of the "shaft" end of the arrowhead. Placed over bait the flies flew through into the screen enclosure through the holes. A small length of wood sealed the two screen ends at the "point" of the arrowhead. It worked very well. It remains a great memory of father/son bonding for me.
* four long pieces of wood about 1/2" square and a foot long
* one piece of wood notched to fit and secured about 1/3 of the way up
* a fairly large hole cut in the piece of wood
* form a funnel with window screen to fit over the hole
* secure the screen funnel with staples, glue, etc.
* fray the tip of the funnel so flys can squeeze thru the fibers but not back out
* wrap window screen around the four sides
* make a "cap" of window screen
To use: stand the trap over bait out in the yard: fresh dog poop, a chunk of an ear of corn, some rotten food, etc.
As mentioned in the article, flys like to depart from their "lunch" by moving straight up. When they do they enter the funnel on a one way trip.
To empty remove the cap, dump the dead flies then replace the cap.
Ouroboros439 says:
Well CapnCnkh it did not take me long to make mine and for a try out I took it to my uncle's dairy farm. He has asked me to make him 10 more, I think it worked. Thanks A Lot
It's the same basic funnel trap used for thousands of years with a jar for a cage.
This 'ible is about how to make a fly trap, not how to catch flies. What kind of flies are you trying to catch? I would say if you're trying to catch carrion flies, use meat. If you're trying to catch houseflies, use the leftover spaghetti. What did I use for bait? What the flies eat!
- Fruit flies like sugar water (soda or fruit juice)
- Yellow jackets like sugary things in early summer, protein (rotten meat) in late summer.
- House flies prefer, well, any rotten food.
- I wish I could catch horse flies and deer flies, but they prefer live animals.
I colored the outside of the baby food container with a black sharpie and I used a blackberry to bait the fruit flies. I also found that a slit was too big of an opening, and the flies flew back out of it. Instead, pushing the tip of a ball-point pen through the side of the container made the opening just right. I caught HUNDREDS of flies with this thing. Great 'ible.
"[poisons] kill not only the bugs you want dead, they also kill the ones you might like to keep alive, not to mention the idea of yourself or loved ones coming into contact with them."
Good to know that someone's patented a three-thousand year old idea and claimed it all for himself.
poetry !
(I admit I bought a commercial fly trap but boy does it deliver.. Yesterday it was so full, flies were lining up outside waiting for to get in. If you think 1 fly is scary, wait till you have to remove a cup of dead flies from the device.)
