There may be something to the claim that all people want to be free. But it is a demonstrable fact that freedom has been under attack, usually successfully, for thousands of years.

It seems as if, everywhere you turn these days, there are studies claiming to show that America has lost its upward mobility for people born in the lower socioeconomic levels. But there is a sharp difference between upward "mobility," defined as an opportunity to rise, and mobility defined as actually having risen.

New York's new mayor, Bill de Blasio, in his inaugural speech, denounced people "on the far right" who "continue to preach the virtue of trickle-down economics."

As Christmas approaches, the shopping mall can become a shopping maul. One of the ways of buying gifts for family and friends, without becoming part of a mob scene in the stores, is to shop on the Internet. However, for many kinds of gifts, you want to be able to see it directly, and perhaps handle it, before you part with your hard-earned cash.

Depressing news about black students scoring far below white students on various mental tests has become so familiar that people at different parts of the ideological spectrum have long ago developed their different explanations for why this is so. But both may have to do some rethinking, in light of radically different news from England.

A friend recently sent me a link to an inspiring video about an upbeat young black man who was born without arms. It showed him going to work — unlike the record number of people living on government payments for "disabilities" that are far less serious, if not fictitious.

Third parties have had an unbroken record of failure in American presidential politics. So it was refreshing to see in the Tea Party an insurgent movement, mainly of people who were not professional politicians, but who nevertheless had the good sense to see that their only chance of getting their ideals enacted into public policies was within one of the two major parties.

Like so many things that seem new, Obamacare is in many ways old wine in new bottles. For example, when confronted with the fact that millions of Americans stand to lose their existing medical insurance as a result of Obamacare, defenders of Obamacare say that this is true only when those people have "substandard" insurance. Who decides what is "substandard"? What is older than the idea that some exalted elite know what is good for us better than we know ourselves? Obama uses the rhetoric of going "forward," but he is in fact goi

The nomination of Janet Yellen to become head of the Federal Reserve System has set off a flurry of media stories. Since she will be the first woman to occupy that position, we can only hope that this will not mean that any criticism of what she does will be attributed to sex bias or to a "war on women."

Despite evidence from around the world that minimum wage laws can price low-skilled workers out of jobs, the U.S. Department of Labor is planning to extend minimum wage coverage to domestic workers, such as maids or those who drop in from time to time to do a few household chores for the sick and the elderly.

This has been the worst time, politically, for President Barack Obama since he took office. Recent polls reveal that public confidence in both his domestic and foreign policies has been falling, amid revelations about their defects and dangers.

Nothing symbolizes the Utopianism of our times like both liberals and some conservatives calling for us to cut off aid to the Egyptian military because of the widespread killings in what is becoming a civil war in Egypt.

It is hard to read a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, without encountering someone who has come up with a new "solution" to society's "problems." Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than there are problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today's problems are a result of yesterday's solutions.

In the 20th century, Western intellectuals' two most dominant explanations of disparities in economic, educational and other achievements were innate racial differences in ability (in the early decades) and racial discrimination (in the later decades). In neither era were the intelligentsia receptive to other explanations. In each era, they were convinced that they had the answer — and dismissed and disparaged those who offered other answers.

There are no winners in the trial of George Zimmerman. The only question is whether the damage that has been done has been transient or irreparable. Legally speaking, Zimmerman has won his freedom. But he can still be sued in a civil case, and he will probably never be safe to live his life in peace, as he could have before this case made him the focus of national attention and orchestrated hate.

When teenage thugs are called "troubled youth" by people on the political left, that tells us more about the mind-set of the left than about these young hoodlums. Seldom is there a speck of evidence that the thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves as they create trouble and dangers for others.

The headline on the front page of the New York Times said it all: "Women in the Senate Confront the Military on Sex Assaults." In a triumphalist article showcasing the growing numbers of women on the Senate Armed Services Committee, "one of the Senate's most testosterone-driven panels," the storyline presents female Senators attacking male military officials over charges of sexual assaults against women in the armed forces.

Amid all the heated crosscurrents of debate about the National Security Agency's massive surveillance program, there is a growing distrust of the Obama administration that makes weighing the costs and benefits of the NSA program itself hard to assess. The belated recognition of this administration's contempt for the truth, for the American people and for the Constitution of the United States has been long overdue. But what if the NSA program has in fact thwarted terrorists and saved many American lives in ways that cannot be revealed publicly?

Amid all the heated, emotional advocacy of gun control, have you ever heard even one person present convincing hard evidence that tighter gun control laws have in fact reduced murders? Think about all the states, communities within states, as well as foreign countries, that have either tight gun control laws or loose or non-existent gun control laws. With so many variations and so many sources of evidence available, surely there would be some compelling evidence somewhere if tighter gun control laws actually reduced the murder rate.

Since when has it been considered smart to tell your enemies what your plans are? Yet there on the front page of the New York Times on April 8 was a story about how unnamed "American officials" were planning a "proportional" response to any North Korean attack. This was spelled in an example: If the North Koreans "shell a South Korean island that had military installations," then the South Koreans would retaliate with "a barrage of artillery of similar intensity."

Many ideas presented as "new" are just rehashes of old ideas that have been tried before -- and have failed before. So it is no surprise that the recent "Growth and Opportunity Project" report to the Republican National Committee is a classic example of what previous generations called "Me Too" Republicanism. These are Republicans who think that the key to winning elections is to do more of what the Democrats are doing.

There are so many fallacies about race that it would be hard to say which is the most ridiculous. However, one fallacy behind many other fallacies is the notion that there is something unusual about different races being unequally represented in various institutions, careers or at different income or achievement levels.

If this agency's budget were cut, what would it do?

I don't know if the visual aspect made me think the Muon sounded metalic or hard at the swedish High-End Show in Stockholm. Electronics was all M.Levinson then. But the looks are blending :)
KEF's Muon—"Like. No. Other."
With a cabinet made of polished aluminum, the Muon is a tour-de-force of loudspeaker engineering. (If Sony did not already own this slogan, KEF could have used "Like. No. Other" to promote the speaker.) At this point, I've only listened to the speakers briefly, but that was enough to convince me that if I had $140,000 to spend on a pair of speakers, these would almost certainly be the ones. I'll be going back again later to give them a more extensive listen. And, in case you're wondering, this is no mere engineering concept, with no likelihood of anyone actually buying them. The word from KEF is that so far this year they've sold more than 20 pairs worldwide.
The speakers are finished in polished natural aluminum. The green hue in our photo stems from the fact that KEF was using a video projector to illuminate their room with an ever-changing color palette.
the moment my eyes see this beautys i have like orgasme,wow they are beautifull and the sound is magical,after the demostration the others look a little ....don't know what , maybe the first after look to my ears no very good but somme minutes later i became to reallity .you know i like be just behind Angelina Jolie and dont have the money to keep her just for you,like be in love with the Muon.

This Day in Astronomy History: Feb. 13, 1633: Church vs. Galileo
Galileo Galilei, who has run afoul of the church for his theories concerning heliocentrism and for insulting his old friend Pope Urban VIII, arrives in Rome to face an ecclesiastical court on charges of committing heresy.
Galileo's long-running feud with the Roman Catholic Church over whether the Earth revolved around the sun (the Copernican view advocated by Galileo) or the sun around the Earth (the Aristotelian view echoed in the scriptures) seemed amicably resolved by 1632. But that was before the publication of Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, a book that the pope had allowed to be published as long as his own views on the subject were included.
Galileo included them, but inexplicably (for no malicious intent on the part of Galileo has ever been proven) put Urban's words into the mouth of his character Simplicius, a defender of Aristotelian geocentrism who was often proved wrong and considered something of a fool. This didn't go down too well in Rome and Galileo was summoned to face the Inquisition.
He was found guilty and the sentence was severe: He was forced to renounce heliocentrism, Dialogue was banned and Galileo spent the remainder of his life under house arrest. In this last he was lucky: The original sentence called for imprisonment.
Interesting fact about Galileo and heliocentricism: there's an ongoing historiographical debate regarding whether the Inquisition's arguably strong reaction to his work was caused primarily by post-Reformation tension within the Church, or by Galileo's abrasive (to say the LEAST) personality. Most of us, I think, are taught the former in school, but even cursory research will show you that Galileo's ongoing impudence probably had more to do with it than we might like to think.
Yeah, I've been learning this, too. From what I've read, the church was willing to change their minds about heliocentrism if Galileo had mathematical proof, which he did not (yet). But Galileo was apparently quite an ass to the pope.
From Quora: Quote of Tim O'Neill's answer to History: "What is the most misunderstood historical event?" http://qr.ae/TtLOM
"In fact, many of Galileo's staunchest champions and defenders were churchmen and many of his attackers were fellow scientists. Centuries before Galileo the Catholic Church had rejected the idea that there was something wrong with the rational analysis of the physical world, accepting the argument that since God was rational, his creation was rational and so could be apprehended by rational inquiry. This paved the way for the acceptance of the rational analysis of the world by ancient Greek philosophers and so Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes and many other Greek thinkers were enshrined in Medieval thought, establishing "natural philosophy" (what we call "science") in the universities of Medieval Europe and laying the foundations for the rise of modern science as we know it."

You'll be torn between work and family in early February. Part of you wants to accept an exciting job, but it will mean spending a great deal of time away from home. Ultimately, you need to err on the side of financial security. This fresh arrangement will be a blessing in disguise. Your relatives will have to become more self-reliant. Eventually, you'll be able to rely on them for jobs you used to do. Don't let a passionate love affair interfere with your work life. Refrain from sending steamy e-mails over the office account, and keep personal phone calls to a minimum.

Q: While fishing in Florida Bay, we saw what we thought were porpoises about 5 feet long, jumping completely out of the water. Our guide told us they were spinner sharks. Why is the animal called a spinner shark, and why does it jump like that? - Randolph Winston, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
A: The spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) was named by fishermen due to its habit of leaping out of the water and spinning like a top in the air, often wrapping itself in the leader and breaking the line. However, what you saw might have been blacktip sharks (C. limbatus). The blacktip looks practically identical to the spinner and is also known to jump and spin. The spinner shark, found in warm waters worldwide, ranges along the eastern U.S. from North Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, but is found primarily offshore. Blacktips, more common than spinners in Florida's coastal waters, range through warm and temperate waters worldwide, from Massachusetts to Brazil along the East Coast. Blacktips are also offshore sharks, but regularly come near shore in schools, following bait and small game fish such as Spanish mackerel, and even invade shallow flats regularly. Both spinners and blacktips seem to jump most often when hooked, so it may be a defensive or gullet-clearing behavior.

Alabama Educators React to School Flexibility Bill
People are across Alabama are still reacting to a sweeping education bill passed Thursday by the Alabama legislature. That bill gives tax credits to parents whose children attend failing schools to choose another public or private school. Alabama News Network spoke with educators to get their reaction to the bill. Some Alabama educators are still uncertain about whether the bill is a good idea, but almost all of them say the new legislation caught them completely by surprise. It started as an 8-page bill allowing parents to seek waivers from some state policies, and in a conference committee, became a 27-page bill which opponents say is something else entirely Alabama Education Association Executive Secretary Henry Mabry didn't mince words when talking about the legislation. "Well, we were absolutely stunned that they would pull such a trick. We haven't seen such dirty tricks like this since Richard Nixon," said Mabry. He says organizations like AEA were misled about what the bill was meant to do. "They took a bill that was sold as motherhood and apple pie and they turned it into this 3-headed monster to allow for public school money to be given to private schools and private companies," he said. But some private schools , who could benefit financially from the bill, say they don't know enough about it to be sure if it's a good thing for them, either.Independent schools in general, we take pride in streamlining our administrative staff and just based on again, the limited knowledge that I have, the cumbersome burden that this would place on independent schools is a little bit cumbersome at this point," said Melba Richardson, Head of Saint James School in Montgomery.
Governor Bentley has not yet signed the legislation, " State Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice didn't to talk on camera, but issued a statement to legislators " |

Communist Party of Turkmenistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
The Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR (Russian: Коммунистическая партия Туркменистана, Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň Kommunistik Partiyasy) was the ruling communist party of the Turkmen SSR, and a part of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. From 1985 it was led by Saparmurat Niyazov, who in 1991 renamed the party to the Democratic Party of Turkmenistan, which is no longer a communist party. The current Communist Party of Turkmenistan was made illegal during the presidency of Niyazov after independence and remains banned.[1]

As the opening act of the 2013 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Richie Kirkpatrick slung his guitar strap over his blue striped suit and welcomed the small but growing crowd that entered the grounds just minutes before.
âWe donât know where you came from, but weâre glad youâre here,â said Kirkpatrick, lead singer and gutarist for the 9-piece band Ri¢hie, which played at the âNew Music on Tap Lounge.â
Kirkpatrick was born in Johnson City, lived in Murfreesboro, and now hails from Nashville. He has played Bonnaroo three times before: first for Bobby Bare Jr. and twice for Jessica Lea Mayfield. Now he and his crew â which includes two drummers and three female backup singers â rocked the 'Roo as Ri¢hie. The group with "Take Another Piece of my Heart" and then went into a song called "Animal Print."
Kirkpatrick hammed it up for the crowd and the media photographers capturing his set, dancing around the stage and jamming on his guitar.
âI am honored to open it up and start it off with some jams,â Kirkpatrick said during soundcheck before the gates opened.
He added: âItâs really fun to be able to play a festival I went to before I was playing it.â
And, he said, itâs a lot different than other places he has played, like, say, Holland.
âHere itâs like âYeah, Tennessee, I speak the language,â he joked.

Many consider this one of the greatest World Series games ever played. The Angels trailed 5-0 and were 8 outs away from elimination before rallying for 3 runs in both the seventh and eighth innings to win 6-5. It was the biggest post-season comeback in Angels baseball history, and Rob Arra was there. The Angels went on to win Game 7, their franchise's first and only World Series Championship, and Rob Arra was there for the celebration. Relive that moment in "Angels Earn Their Wings"

Renegades Complete Florida Sweep |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Atlanta Renegades ran out 57-14 winners over Boca Raton Sunday to sweep their two-game Florida road trip and move into first place in the South DI club league. The Renegades now sit at 3-1 with 17 standings points, two ahead of 3-0 New Orleans. After beating the Tampa Krewe 48-10 on Saturday, the Renegades started out a little stiffly against Boca. The game was close at halftime, 12-0, but opened up late as Coach Garry Sullivan's newer players showed their athleticism. Roderigus Ceaser and Dominic Drolet were outstanding in the backs and won joint Man-of-the-Match honors. "I called the new guys in together before the game and told them, "this is your chance,'" said Sullivan. "'This is your chance to show what you can do.' The guys really showed up, and that puts us in a good position. We have shown we have depth now. All the guys know that they could be sitting if they don't perform." Along with Ceaser and Drolet, Josh Moody was another youngster who showed well. "We came here and got two bonus-point wins, which is great, " said Sullivan. "Now we just need to keep pace with New Orleans and try to get 1st in the League. Getting bonus points in all our games was crucial for us." Sullivan also said playing on the road proved easier for him as a coach, as his players were more focused on being on time and we all together. Now he wanted to build on that but looking for good competition out of the league. "We have Life just down the street in Georgia and we're going to play their Super League team and their college team as much as we can," said Sullivan. "It's good, cheap competition. They always show us things we need to work on, and I know we still have things to work on." South DI Club Standings (all teams play eight games):

makes perfect sensePros: finally a pc that fits the back of a monitor. very compact memory can be upgraded to max 2gb. internal n capable works with newer wireless terminals. OS is linux based hence stability 120 platter drive the n270 is capable enought to do some light photo editing and some LIGHT gaming using built in games. Cons: NOT intended for WOW gaming basic internet small server for around the house is about it for this thing Other Thoughts: i do not own one of these units. HOWEVER i do own a Eeepc 900a and wish i had ordered this. the major advantages of this over the eee units is obvious as daylight the hdd is much faster. way more space on disk. and much less desktop clutter this would be best for a middle school child with research and to keep them off your i7 chipped gamer you just dropped 6k on. 1 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
HT not DCPros: Not DC (read below) Cons: Not DC (read below) Other Thoughts: My mistake, it's hyperthreaded not dual core. Still nice though, just ordered 2 more. 3 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice little Linux serverPros: Nice small design, great for a development Linux server. It's dual core and upgradable to 2g, plenty for what I need. The hard drive is plenty big and gigabit ethernet is great. With all it comes with, the price is great. This is the ultimate throwaway Linux server. Cons: Comes with 2x512mb chips so you have to buy 2x1g chips to upgrade it to maximum memory. Other Thoughts: I got this last week and installed CentOS 5.2 on it. Redhat EL 4.0 wouldn't recognize the network card and I got tired of banging my head against the wall trying to get the downloaded driver to work. It's sitting by itself with a network cable and power cord plugged into it, quiet as a clam running a development server for me. I'm totally thrilled. 9 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Does it make sense?Pros: Does it make any sense for anyone to buy this when there are Eee PCs for sale? Cons: The Eee PC's have the exact same hardware and they come with a screen and act as a laptop. Other Thoughts: I dont understand. 0 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Atomic if you know UNIXPros: Complete replacement for that old P3 box (you know what I'm talking about). Runs pretty much silent and low power. Cons: The cover was extremely difficult to pry off when upgrading the RAM. First you have to remove the two screws behind the stickers. It uses DDR2 laptop memory 200-pin 533Mhz and the maximum memory supported is 2GB. Other Thoughts: The default linux is really limited. I wiped everything off and used an external DVD drive to install Debian. Xorg worked with the vesa driver but its going to be a home server running headless anyway. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Perfect Windows Home Server for SlimServerPros: This makes an excellent Windows Home Server if you are looking for one that is inexpensive to own and operate, and need it only for streaming audio to Slimserver units. It's very small, quiet, and is very easy to install WHS and Slimserver (SqueezeCenter) on. My Kill-A-Watt unit says this unit uses an average of 14.3 watts during normal operation. Also works great as file storage location for remote access. Cons: So far I have not found anything about the unit that I dislike. The keyboard and mouse are cheaply made but I don't need them for a WHS. Probably would not be a good WHS if you plan to use WHS to do backups of the computers on your system. Other Thoughts: I bought this as an Open Box item from Newegg. Despite their dire warnings about no accessories being included with Open Box purchases, my EEE Box came with EVERYTHING and nothing had even been removed from the original packaging except the owners manual. I guess the Open Box warning is their disclaimer so you can't complain if something is missing... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sweet!!!Pros: These are sweet little machines! My client ordered 4 of them and they're run great! Had one with a very noisey fan, but I sent it back and Newegg is sending a new one. Customer service is tops! Cons: No real way to upgrade these, but you don't really need to if you're just using it for basic office type computing...this is not a gaming machine! Other Thoughts: I'm not certain if the memory is upgradable...for my client's uses, it wasn't needed, so I haven't researched it...if you're wanting more memory in yours, I would suggest researching that first... 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
The Silent PerformerPros: Very tight package and attractive Design. Very easy to learn linux distro, excellent for newbies. Has all necessary ports you will need. Plenty of hard drive space and RAM for the price. Intel atom processor is a strong performer for the cost and energy ratio. WHISPER quiet, I mean really this thing is not audible. Uses LITTLE energy. Cons: Very weak Wireless performer. My Wi-Fi signal fluctuates between 20-60%. No Optical Drive. Few ports. Cheap look and feeling keyboard and mouse packaged. Other Thoughts: I was thinking of giving it a three because of the Wireless issues this box is having but it would not be fair because for 300 dollars you can't do better if your looking for a simple desktop for webmail, video streaming and surfing. This was a gift to my parents and they alone area testament of how easy it is to learn your way around this machine. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Leicester and England prop Dan Cole on Monday escaped punishment for an alleged bite on an opponent in the Premiership champions' 32-15 win over Worcester.
The incident came during the second-half at Welford Road on Sunday, with pictures appearing to show Cole biting Worcester fly-half Ignacio Mieres.
The evidence was clear to see as blood seeped from the playmaker's fingers, an image which led former England winger Jon Sleightholme to call for Cole to be banned on Twitter.
However, the English Rugby Football Union has confirmed it will not punish Coles for the incident after consideration from citing commissioner Peter Larter.
"The RFU citing commissioner has viewed the incident many times and using all the available camera angles and believes it is accidental due to the dynamics of the contact as Dan Cole went to ground. No further action is to be taken," read an RFU statement.
The decision has not been contested as Worcester chose not to cite Cole themselves during the four-hour window they had.

I'm taking over most of the RU analyses :) if you want something to do, you could look into NU Pokemon analyses.
Well someone already asked me (although I forget who cause I cleared my inbox), but yea if they don't work on it feel free to do it yourself. I'd check with Oglemi or someone else first though.
Hey there, I'll complete my GP check on Shelgon once you finish changes suggested by Honko. Be sure to edit anything in the set comments or additional comments related to the ability change, I haven't had chance to fully read it yet. I would've finished it last night, but I had a strange power outage here.
Also, as the OP, you are not obligated to make every change, especially when it is by an amateur checker, j/s. Even with an official checker you don't, but it's generally a good idea to include all of the official checker's changes, unless it's an obvious mistake
Hey there, could you post in the GP Queue thread when you write an analysis, it makes things easier to keep track of. Only mentioning it because of Vanilluxe :)
Yeah, go ahead. I'll post in the RU reservations, but you post there too to confirm. actually, you've just taken up Shelgon, so you technically would be over the allowed limit with Rampardos. I'd ask Oglemi first if you can have 3 Pokemon in QC.
Hi. For your Vanilluxe analysis, I just want to say that the move is actually spelled Autotomize. Hope it's no bother.
just a heads up that i won't be free for probably a few hours, so someone might get to it before i do, but if not i'll be glad to :)
"and i think i have terrible prose because i'm not very good at writing formally" >_> Komodo advised me to change the criticism.
I shall check your analyses as soon as I can, slightly busy at the moment, but shouldn't be too long :)
hi andy i saw that you write ru analysis and I was wondering if you could write the rotom-f one for me, i have it qc approved and its somewhere in the ru forum
That IS a long one, oh wow :P I'll make a post and begin now, we'll see if it gets finished before I go to sleep :)

Kylen Mills joined the CBS4 news team in January 2013, a few weeks after graduating from Lewis University with a degree in broadcast journalism.
At Lewis, Kylen worked at her school's TV station, radio station and newspaper. She was also the only female sports analyst during her time there, broadcasting basketball and volleyball games. One of the highlights of Kylen's college experience was receiving the senior departmental excellence award from the College of Arts and Sciences at Lewis.
As an undergrad Kylen held internships at ABC 7 News Chicago, MTV.com in New York, and most recently WGN-TV. While at WGN, she worked on the Midday News, putting together all the segments throughout the two hour show and assisting reporters in the field.
Growing up near Chicago in Elmhurst, IL, Kylen didn't have to travel far to make the move to the Quad Cities. She's excited to get to know the community and explore everything the QCA has to offer.
When not in the newsroom, Kylen enjoys listening to country music, catching up with her sister Kendra, and watching her favorite sports team, The Chicago Bulls. Kylen also played college soccer and will look for any excuse to get back on the field!
If you have any story ideas or comments, feel free to contact Kylen at firstname.lastname@example.com

People who are a bit different in middle and high school are ostracized. Were you a victim, an unwilling group-think bully, or even a caring observer that didn't know how to protect a beloved classmate? If so, you might understand why teens commit suicide.
Much of what makes people different when young becomes an acknowledged asset as an adult. An extra dose of intelligence, height or curls doesn't mean much after a while, and you have plenty of role models in town to prove that.
Except...what if society tells you you are an outcast because of something you cannot change, and many will never accept? Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) teens often don't know that things get better. The world is full of bigots, but there are many friends and family members who love you, even when they don't understand. And there's even better news; slowly - but surely, law and life are changing for the better.
It Gets Better - part of the Trevor Project, and the brainchild of columnist Dan Savage - is a series of YouTube videos produced by LGBTQ individuals and their allies that are reaching out to despondent, suicidal teens and pre-teens with the message that life changes with age, education and a better environment. A number of international celebrities have made contributions to the site, including U.S. President Barack Obama and religious sorts. Some of these videos are a bit too sentimental, and many people have criticized It Gets Better because it doesn't advocate programs geared to eradicating all types of bullying behavior in schools, and might not be the most effective way to educate our teens about sexual diversity.
Critics be damned. If one teenager seeks help, three adults speak up in their communities, and a few brave teachers and administrators start programs to help gay and questioning teens - It Gets Better is beyond a success. Please go watch some of the videos posted at the YouTube It Gets Better channel.
I have a lot of problems with It Gets Better, and since I've been drinking and I'm in soapbox mode, you fine people get to hear them. If you're not familiar with the concept, the gist of it is that LGBT people and straight allies make videos telling gay kids not to kill themselves, because... well, things get better. Which is a fine aim. How effective it is, I don't know. It's not the sort of thing about which it's easy to get hard data. But, as a gay teenager, the whole thing strikes me as... insufficiently combative.
Don't get me wrong. It's better than nothing, and as NanceMuse points out, if it helps one person then it's been worth it. But let's not kid ourselves that 'hold on, things improve with time' is a sentiment without problems. Truth be told, I think it's a bullshit message. For one, it requires a kind of passivity. 'Don't worry, when you're 25 you'll look great and those homophobic kids will be working in Burger King' risks teaching kids to accept homophobia in the short term, safe in the knowledge that once they're old enough, they'll be delivered to the Promised Land of expensive haircuts, dayglo cocktails and bitchiness. If nothing else, it's somewhat narcissistic to have people congratulating themselves on how awesome their lives are, in order to make worse-off people feel better. Moreover, it promulgates a restrictive idea of what it means to be gay. What if you're a 15 year old boy in Altoona who thinks he might be gay, but doesn't see himself ever conforming to the stereotype of being a fabulous, glittering socialite with no apparent source of income and a tasteful collection of objets d'art? What if he doesn't want to?
More than that, it's complacent. Just saying 'it gets better' implies that it happens through some kind of osmosis. Shite. It gets better because people make it better, and bland pronouncements of faith that everything will work out in the end serve only to absolve people from responsibility when it comes to acting decisively against homophobia. Even worse, by destigmatising homophobic abuse, you risk normalising it. and all of a sudden gay teenagers start seeing being a pariah as how you pay your dues for being gay, instead of what it is, which is an injustice which needs to be confronted if anything's going to change.
This all speaks, too, to a larger cultural view of LGBT people. You can trace it back in the American popular consciousness to Matthew Shepard, and that view is that gay people are victims who need to be protected. And yes, sometimes that's true. But not enough to justify patronising soul-searching from straight people that lumps everyone who happens not to be straight into that same category. I don't feel like a hedonistic socialite, and I don't feel like a helpless victim of circumstance. Neither of those accurately represents how I think of LGBT people as a whole. How I envision them is as a 6'8" black drag queen throwing things at riot police. Under the circumstances, it strikes me that people are all too quick to forget that the birth of the gay rights movement in the US was a gigantic riot. People have fought, and still are fighting, for LGBT people's ability to enjoy the rights which they are afforded as human beings. To boil all that down to 'It Gets Better' is to elide that.
And even with all of that said, you have to view it very narrowly for it to be true. In large parts of the world, it doesn't get better. It gets worse, and comparatively few people know or care. Homosexuality is a criminal offence in around 70 countries, a number of which apply the death penalty. With that in mind, the position starts to look a little weak.
But there are people who care, and there are people who risk everything for equality. Whether it's protesting the NYPD raiding the Stonewall Inn or running an LGBT rights group in Uganda, there will always be people invested enough to try and make things better. So if you're a gay teenager, my advice to you is this - don't take any guff from these swine. Do what you need to in order to get by, do what you can to help others, and above all be proud of your heritage. It's yours to share in, after all. So chin up. If you're scared or angry or alone, just remember that there's a veritable army of queers out there who don't take any shit, and if need be, they've got your back. Now go forth and be awesome.

Biology Graduate Program Assessment Plan
Course-Specific Content
A graduate student is assessed on his or her knowledge of general subject matter within the sub-disciplines of biology by requiring each student to successfully complete 27 hours of course work instructed by graduate faculty members. Students obtain diversified knowledge which builds content knowledge and critical thinking ability. These objectives are directly assessed in the following manners:
all students
two members of faculty who are not course instructorusing Course Specific Content Rubric
Students are expected to acquire a more detailed understanding of their chosen specialty. Students are assessed on the quality of their thesis and defense by relevant faculty including at least one faculty member who is external to the department.
relevant faculty including at least one faculty member who is external to the departmentusing Thesis Rubric
All thesis students are expected to prepare and submit at least a portion of their thesis for publication in an appropriate peer-reviewed journal.
external experts
Research Presentation
Graduate research students are encouraged to present their research in an appropriate format (written / oral) at appropriate meeting, either on campus (Research Services Council Day) or off-campus (e.g. Nebraska Academy of Sciences, Nebraska Physiological Society, other local meetings, regional meetings such as branch meetings of the Entomological Society of America, national meetings, and international meetings).
As a measure, the percentage of students giving oral or poster presentations at regional, national or international professional meetings and the percentage of students publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals or books is tracked.
some students
Student Interview
Interviews of students are conducted by the Chair of the Biology Department and by the Graduate Committee to evaluate student critical thinking skills.
Biology Chair and Graduate Committeeusing Rubric for the Assessment of Student Critical Thinking
Seminar Presentation
Graduate students are trained to communicate scientific ideas in both written and oral formats. Students are required to participate in meetings of the graduate seminar program where they will present one seminar per semester. Seminars form an important part of the student's graduate education and frequently attract faculty and student audiences from several departments. Each student delivers a seminar concerning his or her research progress to date or a one-hour departmental seminar on another topic. These presentations provide experience in presenting original scientific research. Seminars (required participation during all semesters of graduate program) are presented on a regular basis within the department.

A Troy man has been sentenced to two years in prison for having child pornography on his computer.
David Smith, 38, was arrested in December and charged with 25 counts of pandering sexually oriented materials involving a minor.
Smith pleaded guilty to all charges, but for sentencing purposes the charges were consolidated into one count.
The investigation began after Troy police recieved a tip that Smith had child porn images on his computer and cell phone.
Police do not believe the images confiscated involve local children.
As part of the sentence, Smith is classified as a Tier II sex offender. After he is released from prison, Smith will be required to register his address with authorities every 180 days for 25 years.

Red Ryder BB gun (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel)

For an overview of BB gun variants in the Fallout series of games, see BB gun. |
Red Ryder BB gun | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following is based on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and has not been confirmed by canon sources. |
The Vault Dweller Red Ryder BB gun is a weapon in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
The Red Ryder BB gun is a BB gun made by Daisy Outdoor Products and introduced in 1938, that resembles the Winchester rifle of Western movies. Named for the comic strip cowboy character Red Ryder, it is arguably the most famous BB gun in American history.
The Vault Dweller Red Ryder BB gun is a unique version of the Red Ryder BB gun and one of three secret weapons in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
Thanks to his high knowledge in Repair, the Vault Dweller has modified a Red Ryder BB gun so it absorbs and propels the surrounding air, forming a ball of air, instead of using ammunition. But since air is hard to control, its damage varies randomly from very low to very powerful.
- Carbon Warehouse Main Storage, given to you by the Vault Dweller if you save all the survivors of the raider attack on Carbon.
Behind the scenesEdit
- The Red Ryder BB gun is named after the real life "Red Ryder BB gun".
- The Red Ryder BB gun appeared in the 1983 film "A Christmas Story", where the main character, Ralph, wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas, but is ridiculed by adults that say, "You'll shoot your eye out".
- The Red Ryder BB gun was also a powerful weapon obtainable in Wasteland, the predecessor game to the Fallout series. In Highpool, the party has to fight the child whose dog (Rex) "was gunned down by vigilante Rangers", or it could be acquired by a cheat.

You can identify abbreviated Project Ideas by the asterisk at the end of the title. If you want a Project Idea with full instructions, please pick one without an asterisk.
Math is used by many different types of scientists to model phenomenon and evaluate data from an experiment. By building mathematical models scientists can understand how different physical, chemical, and biological processes are affected by different variables. The most important tools are: making a graph to give a visual representation of the relationships between your variables and making an equation to give a way of computing the relationships between your variables. Find a source of data, either from an online database or from your own experiment, and make a mathematical model. Try to make a graph and an equation for your data. How good is it at predicting additional results? Is the relationship linear, dynamic, or exponential? Is your data positively or negatively correlated? Are there any outliers and how do you decide if you should get rid of them? Can you show how to use a graph to evaluate sources of error in an experiment? Can you use your model to propose a hypothesis or theory for the relationship? (Wattenburg, 1998)Share your story with Science Buddies!

More than 4 gigs for a gaming machine is currently overkill. There's absolutely no need to add more ram if all you do is office applications and games - More than 4 gigs only really becomes important when you use your pc professionally in some capacity (image editing, virtual machines, video processing, rendering etc). On the other hand, ram is dirt cheap at the moment. I got my 8 gigs for 50 euros. Playing: EVE, TSW |
2+ screens? :P Playing: EVE, TSW |
People who say they get less than 30 FPS on high in this game with any Nvidia from the GTX 470 upwards and a CPU equal to an E8400 Core2 Duo (3 Ghz) are either lying or have a computer full of dust, bloated with viruses/ spyware/ bloatware or fragmented hard drives (or just 5400 RPM) In fact I have the two components listed, and I get 35-40 FPS on a mix of high and ultra. The most important thing to remember is use the right client. A newer card will perform better with DX11, while an older card needs 9. |
0308 - Current Mode : 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz) From the OP system specs. Now, I know not everyone can have a desktop with 2560x1600 because how else would I show I got a bigger ePenis, BUT I think that resolution is pretty hard to find on a regular monitor. I think we may be looking at a laptop user here. Laptops are not meant for gaming, never will be unless you spend several times the cost of a top range desktop system for an alienware and still get less performance. Some games have high demands and can't be run on cheap computers. More after the break, don't go away! |
Originally posted by Warjin I'm sorry if you turned everything to low and are running directx9 then your computer is a piece of crap. Those same settings I am getting over 200fps with minium of 110fps. Seriously, most of your original post is false. My wife runs a GTX670 with everything maxed and she gets 60-120 FPS. I get a little better with my GTX680 but only 10fps or so. We both have i5core 760's Overclocked. If your running a graphics card from 4 years ago...what did you expect? Onboard graphics cards wont do for any MMO. Its a massive world! I think its great that someone actually uses the technology out there instead of making games look bad to please people. Naw, just kidding! Hope your not pissed after reading that..just wanted to get ya hyped. The dev's have stated that there is an issue with AMD processors paired with AMD cards that are not performing well. If you had an intel proc with amd card..your fine...or amd proc with nivida card your find...but pairing AMD with AMD is broke and going to be fixed soon. |

I love the fact they made a MMO that takes advantage of a gaming PC. You can always just turn down your settings. I however have had ZERO issues my sons Asus laptop even plays it well. So I have to assume you are playing on a very under powered rig or your using 301.24 Nvidia drivers with a OC GFX card in that case you just need the beta drivers. I know this because my 880 was getting bad FPS because its OC and the Nvidia driver was causing the card to defualt to 50 MHZ lol. GPU was 100%. Updated the drivers to beta 304.48 and runs great. Also turn of SLI for this game till a good profile comes out. It runs better atm on one card. |
Originally posted by Warjin Wow, I don't know anyone with a computer that is 8 years old. If your computer is older then two years (max) time to get new equitment or find another hobby. Personally I think a computer older then six months needs to see the inside of a dumpster. I am a very low income old dude, but if I can't play the newest game at the highest settings, I will switch to another form of entertainment. Good luck in finding a solution to your situation bro. Remeber, game till you bleed... King of the world |
Originally posted by Warjin There's your problem. The system specs say a Radeon HD 3850 or better. You have something markedly worse than a 3850. But getting something better doesn't have to cost $400. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102988 For that matter, the Radeon HD 3850 itself was only $179 on launch day, not $400. And that was way back in 2007. Yes, Funcom does require you to have some hardware meant to handle games. And a lot of games let you get away with using pitifully weak hardware, such as Intel graphics. But if you're going to play games much, you really should get a video card meant to handle them, as opposed to a video card that is $15 after rebate, like what you have now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127584 |
a $100 video card could easily play this game well.. if you can't even afford a $100 card then PC gaming may not be a good hobby. An ATI 6770 could easily play this game at decent settings and could be had for around $100 after rebate $99.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150540 and free copy of Dirt 3:) I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |
since this is a topic about performance.. what kind can i expect with an i5 3570k 560ti 8gig ram and ssd? |
Originally posted by dlld same setup here in dx9 with everything on ultra but lighting set to 1 and Advanced GFX set to 1 I get a smooth 60-70 FPS...

Originally posted by Warjin dont listen to the fools telling you to upgrade your ram unless you actually use it all. as for the 680 upgrade, whats your PSU specs? Also a 680 is waaaaay overkill for a 1440x900 screen. |
This may be more for me than the OP, but yea gpu upgrade may be best. I am using an Radeon HD 6800 series (6850? can't check right now) and was able to run the game in beta on high for all settings and I think very high on a couple others if I remember. I just am not sure of the difference between what I have and your 6450 as I just got into PC gaming, built my first one in January which is what I'm using now. Shouldn't cost much to get a decent card that will last you awhile. |

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:New York Times bestselling master of suspense Steve Martini returns, ensnaring defense attorney Paul Madriani in a web of terror and death being spun in the shadows of America's most sacred and secretive institution—the Supreme Court.
A writer is savagely slain while on a publicity tour—a literary provocateur who craved headlines, but whose last book may have gone too far. His revelations about secret language buried in the U.S. Constitution—and hints about an explosive missing letter of Thomas Jefferson's—may be enough to cause an irreparable tear in the fabric of the nation . . . and perhaps drove a volatile youth to homicide. But Paul Madriani thinks a troubled young man with dark connections has been chosen as a scapegoat to cover up something far deadlier that festers in America's political heart. And in the wake of the strange disappearance of a Supreme Court judge, Madriani must survive long enough to find the devastating answers hidden in the shadow of power. Synopsis:When a controversial legal scholar--whose latest book contains shocking information about the U.S. Constitution and founding father Thomas Jefferson--is killed, defense attorney Paul Madriani faces his greatest challenge yet. Searching for the truth in what appears to be an open-and-shut case of murder, Madriani's pursuit of justice pits him against one of the nation's highest public institutions: the Supreme Court.
