The Sarin Sweepstakes
Is the Pentagon holding a contest to make Syria's chemical weapons disappear?
On May 24, an anonymous party posted a curious challenge online, offering $50,000 to anyone who can destroy or neutralize large amounts of chemical munitions. The proposal, made on the crowdsourcing website InnoCentive, was odd in a number of ways. First, Innocentive usually asks for ideas on how to solve technical problems, not military ones. Second, the wording of the offer strongly suggests that it was made by someone in the U.S. government who is looking for ways to deal with the Syrian chemical weapons program.
In the InnoCentive challenge, an unnamed "Seeker" asks for ideas on novel approaches to tackling the "demilitarization, destruction, or neutralization of a hypothetical stockpile of chemical warfare agents." The approximate size of this stockpile: 1,500 tons, which roughly correlates to the U.S. government's estimates of the Bashar al-Assad regime's chemical arsenal. "This size and mobility issues makes it exceedingly difficult to rapidly treat … without either having to build a dedicated facility at the location of the agents (a slow, difficult, and very costly option using current designs) or having to transport the agents to an existing remediation facility (creating the possibility for release of the agents in transport)," the proposal notes.
In November 2012, Pentagon officials estimated that 75,000 troops would be required to deal with those weapons. No details were given as to those service members' duties, but they would almost certainly involve inspecting and reinforcing physical security measures such as bunkers and perimeter fences, in addition to carrying out the actual destruction of the chemical agents themselves. By point of comparison, the United States only has 68,000 troops in Afghanistan as of this June.
According to specifications given, the solution must be mobile and transportable on C-17 Globemaster aircraft. International C-17 users include Britain, Australia, Canada, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and India. Of those, Qatar has garnered attention recently for its involvement in supplying weapons to certain Syrian rebel groups via C-17 aircraft.
If the problem presented is destruction of the post-Assad chemical weapons stockpile, then the InnoCentive challenge might be a tacit admission that Syria's exotic arsenal may be even more difficult to control than President Barack Obama's administration has stated. By its own calculations, the Defense Department sees a required deployment of forces greater than their current commitment in Afghanistan, and a technical look at existing chemical agent disposal techniques shows three options, each more nerve-wracking than the last. One option requires the building of large custom-designed incinerators on-site in Syria -- necessitating the movement of massive amounts of equipment and personnel to build and operate. A second involves mixing massive quantities of nerve agent precursors with lye and water, producing toxic gases that could easily kill the people doing the mixing. The third would tie up the entire inventory of U.S. Air Force heavy-lift aircraft for a significant period of time and possibly more plastic explosives than America has on hand.
And those are just the best-case scenarios.
It raises the question as to whether American politicians are being completely forthright about the scope and scale of what they foresee needing to do in Syria and what that would require of U.S. taxpayers.
The Anonymous Seeker
InnoCentive's headquarters declined to identify the challenge sponsor (referring to it only as someone "vetted and legitimate"), but a nearly identical posting on a Duke University website identifies the proponent as the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). That's the Pentagon division tasked with countering weapons of mass destruction.
DTRA may be working in conjunction with the U.S. Army's Chemical Materials Activity (CMA), which a March 19, 2013, brief identified as having the lead for weapons of mass destruction elimination, specifically to render foreign chemical and biological stockpiles useless.
An additional item that appears to link the U.S. government to this effort is a particular photo of bunkered U.S. chemical weapons shown in the InnoCentive post. It is identical to one listed on CMA's website.
On June 13 of this year, the White House released a statement proclaiming that the United States is "prepared for all contingencies" regarding Syrian use of chemical weapons. "Any future action … must advance our objectives," the statement added, including "securing unconventional and advanced conventional weapons; and countering terrorist activity."
If the United States is the anonymous Seeker, this statement of national assets would appear to be inconsistent with the capability sought via InnoCentive. If the government has everything it needs to deal with the problem, why troll for solutions on an open website?
This isn't the first time the U.S. government has attempted to crowdsource particularly nettlesome problems. DARPA, the Pentagon's extreme research arm, has relied on the method to get new designs for amphibious vehicles and autonomous cars. DTRA posted a million-dollar challenge in December 2012 to determine different organisms through DNA analysis.
Recently, the U.S. Air Force has used InnoCentive to find ways to airdrop pallets of humanitarian relief aid over populated areas that won't endanger those on the ground. And its Tec^Edge Innovation Pavilion has posted numerous challenges, including a 2011 effort that looked for a FAST rope descent device (something that diminishes the simplicity of that insertion technique in the first place).
The U.S. Agency for International Development used InnoCentive to find better ways of communicating securely during crises and documenting evidence of atrocities. The U.S. State Department used it to find better ways of tracking illicit arms transfers.
All those issues are hard ones to solve. None compare to the challenge of Syria's chemical arsenal.
The 3 Million Pound Problem from Hell
As of now, the United States has just two publicly known, officially sanctioned methods for disposing of chemical and biological weapons. The first involves fixed-site facilities relying on either incineration or chemical neutralization. The second is a field-expedient method used by explosive ordnance disposal technicians that involves "thermally treating" (read: blowing up) a liquid agent at a 10- or 20-to-1 ratio of C4 plastic explosive to agent. (A third option, which involves mixing the chemical precursors for nerve agents with massive amounts of lye and water, is considered even more risky than the first two.)
Prior to 1972, the United States commonly disposed of chemical munitions by burial on land or by loading them onto ships that were intentionally sunk out to sea. Both of those methods proved highly ineffective, as the residents of the Spring Valley neighborhood in Washington, D.C., and coastal Delaware residents well know. During World War I, the U.S. Army conducted extensive tests with chemical weapons at a facility on the campus of American University in Washington, D.C., and buried many of those munitions in pits nearby. With the land later sold for development, the munitions have a habit of turning up when new homes are built. Chemical weapons dumped at sea have found their way to shore, as detailed in a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report detailing three incidents from 2004 to 2012 in which clam fishermen and dredging operations turned up chemical weapons later destroyed by the military.
The U.S. Army's Chemical Demilitarization Program has four fixed-site disposal sites. They're located at Anniston, Ala.; Pine Bluff, Ark.; Tooele, Utah; and Umatilla, Ore. Disposal by incineration involves physically deconstructing each munition into its component parts and burning them separately in different incinerators. Exhaust from each furnace is filtered and monitored for any residual contamination before being released into the atmosphere. Some metal parts can be recycled, while other products can only be sent to special hazardous-waste landfills. But, of course, American forces aren't about to bring Syria's chemical stockpile back home. And constructing such a facility over there would be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. (Of the nine sites built for such work in the United States, three are closed, four are in closure, and two are under construction.)
That leaves one other option: destroying these munitions with explosives.
To do the job right, you typically need 10 to 20 times more explosives than chemical agent. With an estimated 1,500 tons of chemical weapons in the Syrian arsenal -- 3 million pounds, in other words -- that would require at least 30 million pounds of C4 explosive to accomplish the task. That's no less than 24 million blocks of C4, which typically come in 1.25-pound bricks, known as M112s. It could be as much as 48 million such blocks.
With M112s packed 30 to a box (and that box weighs 48 pounds), those 24 million blocks would be packaged in 800,000 boxes, and that would equal 38.4 million pounds of cargo.
The 48 million blocks needed for the higher-end estimate would require 1.6 million boxes, weighing 76.8 million pounds total.
C-17 cargo planes have a maximum payload of 107,900 pounds, so transporting that much explosive cargo would require between 356 flights and 712 flights to get to Syria.
There are 220 C-17s in the U.S. inventory, so each would have to make three to four trips into Syria. And that's assuming that C-17 loadmasters and pilots would be comfortable flying more than 100,000 pounds of "bang" at one time in their aircraft. (By comparison, the B-52 can carry 70,000 pounds of weapons.)
And that doesn't include all the needed detonation cord and blasting caps to carry out those disposal shots. M112 blocks (NSN 1375-00-724-7040) cost $10.28 each in the stock system, so the cost of just the explosives would run between $250 million and $500 million dollars, to say nothing of the cost of transportation.
American Ordnance LLC, which makes M112 blocks at the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, would likely have to run its lines overtime to keep up with the demand.
Gross Contamination
To safely dispose of chemical munitions by detonation, a strong inverse temperature gradient (where the temperature decreases with altitude) is desired. This allows particulate matter and resulting vapor to rise up and away from the site. Wind speed and direction (two wholly unpredictable variables) have to be favorable for disposal as well.
When done poorly, disposal of chemical munitions by detonation can create situations like the al-Khamisiyah incident during Operation Desert Storm. Located in the southeast of Iraq, the al-Khamisiyah facility was a massive complex of a hundred ammunition bunkers spread over 40 square kilometers. In these bunkers was a mix of conventional and chemical munitions, and from March 3 to April 6, 1991, teams of U.S. Army engineers and explosive ordnance disposal technicians destroyed them with plastic explosives. Just a few years later, federal investigators looked at the disposal operations there -- and the resultant plume of chemical agent released -- as a possible explanation for the illnesses widely termed Gulf War syndrome.
Any factory in Syria built to demilitarize chemicals agents could cause gross contamination of groundwater and soil, which would have to be remediated to reduce hazards to the local population. Similarly, disposal by detonation would contaminate the immediate area and require extensive remediation or long-term quarantine. Needless to say, neither of these options is ideal. And that probably explains why someone is willing to give 50 grand to anyone who can come up with a better idea.

Surgical Treatment of Parkinson's DiseaseIn the hands of experienced surgeons operations like thalamotomy and pallidotomy, that excise some areas of the brain related to the persistence of the motor disorder might be indicated. In general, very few selected cases are candidates for surgery, mostly individuals with disabling unilateral movement disorder that is resistant to medication. Deep brain stimulation with electrodes implanted in the brain is a surgical technique that does not require ablation of the brain and might also be useful in selective cases. The indications for surgery are limited, and surgery should be done after carefully considering both the benefits and side effects of the surgery. Transplantation of neurons in the brain to restore the dying cells is an interesting approach; however, this method is still in the experimental phase. Enhanced Physiologic Tremor In cases in which the tremor is associated with a specific disease, the tremor improves with the treatment of the condition. When anxiety is the only problem or no other cause is found, then propranolol (Inderal, Inderal LA) or clonazepam (Klonopin) could be effective. Must Read Articles Related to Tremors

Gourmet, Romulo YanesAmanda MacMillan, SELF magazine
It used to be that picking side dishes was the only big decision you had to make for Thanksgiving dinner; the main course was, without a doubt, turkey, and there wasn't much more to it than that. But check out many supermarkets or online grocery delivery services today and you'll see that things have changed--you've got plenty of options on the bird, too. Here's what you need to know before you buy.
To sort through all the lingo, I asked Willow Jarosh, R.D., and Stephanie Clarke, R.D., SELF's contributing nutrition experts, for a quick poultry primer on the labels you might see at your local grocer.
FRESH: This means the turkey's never been frozen, although some are chilled to temperatures as low as 26 degrees to keep them fresher longer. The meat may be more moist and flavorful than that of a turkey that's been frozen, but they're slightly more expensive (and harder to find, as a heads up). The USDA doesn't regulate how long turkey can be stored before it's sold, so it's best to get a fresh turkey from a local butcher or market that you trust.

FROZEN: These birds are kept below 0 degrees from the time they're packaged. They're widely available and less expensive than fresh turkeys; however, they may take several days to thaw in your fridge (about 24 hours for every four to five pounds); once it's thawed it should cooked within two days. Timing is everything--buy that baby soon!
YOUNG: Turkeys labeled young are, by definition, less than eight months old at the time of slaughter; this is actually most of the turkeys you'll find for sale in the United States.
See more: Yoga Moves for Flat Abs
HERITAGE: This breed is the closest descendant of the wild turkey. It's richer, gamier, and has more dark meat than a traditional domestic bird--so it's maybe not the best choice for a crowd that wants a lot of mild (and less fatty) breast meat. They're more expensive, and you'll likely need to order them well in advance.
ORGANIC: Birds labeled certified organic must meet those USDA standards, including being fed organic grains, having access to the outdoors, and not being given antibiotics. Thus, they'll be more expensive--although not necessarily better tasting.
ANTIBIOTIC-FREE: A turkey labeled antibiotic-free has not been given antibiotics to make it grow faster, as some conventionally raised poultry is. Injecting drugs into our food supply has been shown to increase dangerous antibiotic resistance, so it's best to go without whenever possible.
See more: Foods That Fight Belly Bloat
NATURAL: This label has nothing to do with how humanely a turkey was raised or whether antibiotics are used, but merely means that it has not been seasoned, basted, or colored before it is sold. You won't get artificial colors or chemicals, but you could be fooled into paying more money for essentially the same basic bird.
FREE-RANGE: These babies must have the option to go outside once a day--but some turkeys that are technically free-range can still live in cramped spaces for most of their lives. This is where it's important to look into the farm your bird comes from. If you want a turkey that you know has had more decent access to the outdoors, look instead for the terms "pastured" or "pasture-raised."

Beeping Microwave!
By Elizabeth
from Toledo, Ohio
About Me Avid Cook
The microwave worked for about 6 months but then began beeping when not in use. We have to unplug it every time after we use it because it will beep at odd times, like the middle of the night. Now when we plug it in many times the buttons will not work, we have to sit there and press any button to see if something will work. I guess that is what you get when you buy cheap! Don't waste your money!

I've been counting cold seconds
Slowing will without her heat,
Growing space between each beat
Hardens heart away from care.
All potency for pain and pleasure binds,
Confined to freely ebb from causal shell;
Then, urged by current convalescing mind
My heart parts way with what decaying, fell.
What if the sapling's ardor fails to flower,
So choked from light by canopy of old?
From bitter yield, I've winnowed only sorrow;
Love's fruitless growth has left it bare and cold.
Quickening, each pattern passed holds lessen -
With way now cleared, I remain resolute:
Dreaming of trunk's branches' fruitful blossom,
I make the means for chance to sweetly root.
Though Nature bounding, I still wonder why
Life, bourne to grief, just struggles and dies.
If you cast truly, king fisher of men,
Show care with connection, rare, meaningful song;
Withered by loss, I cannot comprehend
Why seed should be made to stay only so long.
Feeling for reason, flowing stone divides,
Severing seasons of constant refrain.
Though I deem sep'rate the day from the night,
Singular cycles are all that remain.
O, to make matter, to spirit up beach,
Drawn by some beauty, so vibrantly graved!
Roaring, I'd grasp what's been kept beyond reach,
Breathing new life into what should be saved;
But presence of peace neither soothes nor forestalls
When what order brings must be destined to fall.
Isn't it vile to feel such a way
for something that I can't control?
This problem is all too familiar,
my ignition unstarted and still.
Can you find it and fuel it and startle
foreign gears and uncharted wheels?
Will you put life in this husk?
Will you come as the jilt of a lover,
or perhaps her sincerest embrace?
some extrinsic and chemical other,
catalyzing more confident state?
Will you find life in this husk?
I wonder how those with no questions
seem to draw from somewhere so much fruit.
My answer waits for me to liken
my own source to the fawn's and the root's.
Will I see life in this husk?
The room is empty, save the leaves of what was weakly grown
Parting way with pain and grief, new hope is hardly sown
Lonely sapling greets the light and cautiously unfolds
but is eclipsed from welling eyes by with'ring leaves of old
Fear has made the sapling pine for comfort's calm embrace
But oh, how better petals shine when love has set their pace
and as its blossom only stems from stock already grown
the sapling hopes to love again but grows as well alone
One man among many, of this I'm most sure:
on chorus' carriage she reigns.
But settling with rest, all chaste and demure,
writhing with thirst as we're dangled the cure,
has only led me to more pain.
To rise up the race to a canter,
or let each drown her with cracked song
that shouts loudest deserves her answer?
With men, I'm not much of a dancer;
I won't whisper sweetly for long.
Who am I to question why
the hotdog has its name?
I'll eat all I'm ordered to
(besides, they say it's good for you),
but still, what sort of dog is used
that's born with such a shape?
Quick, before my stomach turns
and opens hungry eyes,
I'll relish sweetest ignorance
of what my meal's comprised.
Wait just a little more.
Wait for the sun to show.
Wait just a moment more.
Rain makes the flowers grow.
Hold on! Don't lose hope!
Wait just a little more.
Wait for the sun to show.
Wait just a moment more.
Pain makes the hours slow.
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on, don't lose hope!
Wait just a little more.
Wait for the sun to show.
Wait just a moment more.
Rain makes the flowers grow.
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on, don't lose hope!
Don't let this break you!
Don't let this sweep you away!
Patience is virtue when you must choose to shoulder the weight.
Just a little more! Just a moment more!
Hold on, don't lose hope!
Don't lose heart!
Don't lose hope.
I can't undo! I'm too taut to lose
a shameful strain, a wired, painful memory
that stresses me to cringe away again.
I know too well what they'd all say:
"Better safe than sorry!"
If I let them down, they'll turn a way,
damning me with folly.
What did you expect
when you held me with regret?
Oh, how could I forget...
How can I forget?
I can't undo.
I can't undo.
I can't undo,
but I can work through.
Dearest Heart, won't you assuage
the beat that sweetly plagues my days
and changes them to tearful nights
that blur the dawn's idyllic light?
Cruelest heart, I've had enough
and you don't seem to care!
Born free,
what have you been branded to buy as truth?
You couldn't help but consume the prime conditioning,
angelic thing, they manipulated your blank, slated value with price
Impressionable infant, deficient heuristics anchored in tradition
were all you were given, they represented trend's definition of right
Blind to blinders set by frames,
you will never long for sky you've never seen
While you've been growing, who's been leading?
Who's been sowing, who's been reaping?
Now you are as you're told.
Now you are as you're sold.
You didn't see how your movements were determined: causal reinforcement and cogged belief systems
Hunters exploit the needs of the herd and they traded you meaning for all you were worth
Customerary compliance made you meek and the markets less violent
Your standardized schema had felt so secure, while their fashion pruned passion's significant core
Blind to blinders set by frames,
you cannot be free if you don't see your cage
While you've been growing, who's been sneaking?
Who's been sowing, who has been reaping?
Now you are as you're told.
Now you are as you're sold.
They'll come as salesman, promised happiness in their wares
They'll come as preachers, with taxing cross for you to bear
They'll come for your time, your money
They'll come for your life, and your sunny days
will be grey without that which you never knew you needed
No, you never ever needed
What have you been branded to buy as truth?
You won't choose to see your reflection on the discount shelf,
reduced to pelf, you let them establish the goods so you could be saved
from spending efficient economy, it's ironic that you're their battery
and though their floor is your slaved ceiling, you give your Self away
You won't see your light inside
if you're guided by other selfish minds!
How did you begin?
What have you been?
Who are you now?
Through a winter, long and sullen
I've waited for the weather's change,
for songs of love that sit unspoken,
for spring to bring me joy again.
And in my fading ember's light
I chance upon a gem so bright
with heavy heart and fiery eyes
I dream of what could be!
Careful, now, 'lest silence shatter
barricades that hold the heart
and blind to my unchecked desires
prying piece of mind apart
The new wind threatens
the structure of what has been
the wisdom of tradition
all our rigid, reverent ease
How can I hold?
Oh, how can I hold when
the freedom from control can expand
chance for wild reaction
naked in the savage ocean
Where did we go?
The new wind could mix
flowing wisdom with this
safe and steady freedom
Preserve what's passed to
help the future last in
any way they see fit
However we hold!
Why does attention so fondly take hold
when ever new moonflower buds
on lonely land cleared of the last's marigolds
that long masqueraded as love?
Will arum give way to hydrangea?
Will heartsease yield lavender's bite?
I cling to mad dreams of hibiscus
conceived in the moonflower's light.
How could this have come to be, this life, so ever-changing?
these laws that pushed the smallest things to pull the greatest mountains?
and what could cause the chance to think and wonder why we can?
Sophia flowed through mystery where Logos formed a plan.
Act 1: Epigenesis
First Interlude:
At the heart of sacred grounds, a man claims what is righteous
with bloody standard pointed proud and conduct that disguises
a savage pulse, an ancient thirst; is Cronus set in stone?
Impressing eager, weaker men, Saint George goes on and on.
Act 2: Saint George
Second Interlude:
Where the wood once bloomed unbound, a shaft of ivory rises
and reigns above a throne of clouds, where veil of white disguises
a wilting rose, a potted plant; did Gaea plan her fate?
Behind the stained-glass window's view, Joanna meekly waits.
Act 3: Joanna
She raised herself with elegance
above the scathing sea,
and from a splendid mountaintop,
her strength shines down on me.
But I see the waves are rising
as the clouds conceal the sun
and choke her bright horizons;
will hope be overrun?
My heart is moved to action!
I can't let beauty fall!
If ever hope is lapsing,
I'll always heed her call.
Day after day
after day after day
Day after day
the dawn will wake
and so will I
From a dreary, dull escape
I'll find the strength
to open my eyes
Through the midday height
I'll guide myself right
for better, brighter ways
(a better, brighter way)
When the weary dusk sets
I'll reap due rest
with honest, easy grace
(shameless, graceful, sweet senescence)
Use the day
Use the day
See, the light
never dies
it hides away
Why not try?
Let life thrive
against decay
Star echo
seems hollow
but don't despair!
(oh, use the day, use your love and hope)
Love and hope
shape our world
just as well
(to shape our world just)
His Holy Empire
At the heart of sacred grounds, a shaft of ivory rises
and reigns atop a throne of clouds, where veil of white disguises
a wilting rose, a potted plant; did Gaea plan her fate?
Behind the stained-glass window's view, Joanna meekly waits.
Act 1: Poor Joanna
Twirling her hair idly, Joanna looked up out the window and sighed.
"I've wistfully waited so long for you to come home and save me… Save me from wondering and wandering too far alone." She slumped into her seat. Life was so unfair.
Despite her attempts to resist, Joanna soon quietly submitted to gravity's pull on her drooping eyelids. Just as a smile began to waltz across her face, she was violently jolted upwards by a surge of adrenaline. She instinctively buried her disfigured hand into her abdomen as her eyes darted about the unkempt room and over her unfulfilled duties. She suddenly found herself in front of her dresser's mirror and watched as her shaking hands dug through piles of cheap jewelry and stuffed animals, indiscriminately tossing the toys onto the floor. Finally, her hands found what she had been searching for. Her reflection smiled back as she ritually lifted her brush and began to make herself up.
She hated how her face looked without makeup; she had grown to believe it seemed strange if it wasn't shiny and exotically colored. Each layer concealed her blemishes and bruises so well that she sometimes forgot they were there at all. But now, no matter how desperately she painted, the comfort wouldn't come! She loathed what she saw! Joanna winced away from her tear-streaked reflection.
"Why am I so…"
Act 2: Echoes of Solomon
But she couldn't will the words; she didn't even know what it was that she needed to ask. Joanna felt conflicted and unsure as she was barraged by the jostling images that filled her head. She felt so queer when she had offered to shake his hand instead of immediately taking his arm, as was customary when a bride-to-be first meets the man she's been arranged to marry… so ugly when she noticed that every woman at the wedding was wearing makeup except for her… so damnably rude when, after he had ordered the musicians to play a minuet, she had interrupted them a second time to request a waltz… so ashamed when she had danced with such wild, voluptuous abandon… so horrifically guilty when he stumbled, when she made him grab her hand so forcefully that bones snapped as he dragged her out and scolded her for embarrassing him… so naïve to believe that she could think for herself… so overwhelmingly worthless for failing to meet his expectations?
She hated her desire to dance. She hated her desire to eat. She hated that she was miserable, even though she had done everything that they had promised would make her happy. What was she doing wrong?! She cried, "Why? Why am I…" and collapsed. Joanna's walls crumbled as she let herself be swept away by the rivers of repressed sorrow that welled from her heart. Feeling drained and strangely lighter, she found the will to face her reflection.
"I've been so strong since Saint George has been gone. He'd be proud, I'm filled with prayer instead of fruit!" Joanna was caught off guard by her reflection's sudden scowl. "But the days have grown into weeks unknown… I'm feeling frail, what's a damsel to do?" Joanna turned and looked out around the cell as though for the first time. Her probing fingers disturbed the dust-coated bookshelf as she helped herself up and stretched toward the window's ancient, forbidden latch. She threw open the gates of her perception and leaned out to observe the wilderness through wisps of clouds. Her hair flowed freely in the wind and her eyes beamed like the sun.
Act 3: When Adam Delved and Eve Span
Joanna looked up in a familiar way and said, "Tell me: Who governs the trees beyond the courtyard? Ease me; why are the leaves conceived to fall?" Joanna's trembling knees finally buckled as she cried, "Bear me! I can't stand when all I have are unanswered questions. You left me helpless! Won't you please lead me?"
Joanna tried to get back on her feet, but sickly fell to her knees in a fit of coughing. She looked down at a wooden cross that was framed by the purple of her most luxurious pillow and said, "He taught me what happens when little lambs go astray; with no rod to guide them, they'll find themselves prey. I'm too afraid to leave, though no lock bars my way. He bade me love the leash. In lord's courtyard, I'll obey."
Joanna reeled deliriously as she rose to her feet to be bathed in the growing light from the window. She reached out with a bony finger to touch one of the cherubim that were lacing the window with golden embroidery, but her hand passed through as though nothing was there. Joanna didn't seem to mind. She looked up and said, "I've wishfully waited so long for you to come down and save me… Save me from wondering and wandering too far alone."
As she smiled and dreamt of dancing on clouds, Joanna laid down and died.

Books have been written about several of the long-running marathons. The Boston and Olympic Marathons have been extensively covered but several other marathons have also been memorialized, including the Fukuoka Marathon, Pikes Peak Marathon, the Isle of Wight Marathon, and the Heart of America Marathon.
Running Through History
Some runners take great pride in running the same marathon for most or all of its runnings. In California, George Crandell has finished all 31 of the Avenue of the Giants Marathons. I suspect that such "streakers" are not all that uncommon, although 31 straight years is an impressive record.
In compiling this list, I realized that I had run quite a few of these marathons myself, largely by virtue of having been racing marathons for a long time. I counted 17 that I had finished including the Paavo Nurmi Marathon (Wisconsin) that I had run in 1970, the second year it was held. It is nice to note that it is still going strong at 34 runnings.
I checked Bill Rodgers's record and he only has 16. Of course his were all around the world and he had won ten of them. The master, Ron Hill, however, topped me easily with 21.
When I started this endeavor, I estimated that I would find as many as 100 marathons with 20 or more runnings. I was surprised to find long-running marathons almost everywhere, or at least it sure seems that way. Check out the list of 260 (and counting) long-running marathons posted at www.mattoleriver.com/LongRunM.htm for one near you. Chances are you didn't realize it had been around that long.
Ken Young welcomes and credits all additions and corrections to the list project.

Lil Scrappy has pissed off the police ... because he allegedly refused to piss for police ... and now a warrant has been issued for his arrest, TMZ has learned.
The urine controversy bubbled to the surface back in March ... when the "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta" star was required to submit to a pee test in Georgia as part of his probation, stemming from a 2008 pot arrest.
Problem is ... officials say Scrappy tried to turn in a urine sample that was cold to the touch ... and cops believe it may have been tampered with. They refused to accept the sample ... and told Scrappy to provide a fresh cup of yellow gold.
But Scrappy refused the pee demand, denied the allegations of tampering and left the premises ... so officials issued a warrant for his arrest, claiming he once again violated his probation by not cooperating.
We spoke to Scrappy's lawyer, Mawuli Mel Davis, who tells us Scrappy plans to appear in court on May 16 to address the issue -- and says, "It is our hope that the Judge will recall the revocation warrant that is currently pending against Mr. Richardson."
He adds, "Since Mr. Richardson's release from jail, he has been reporting to probation as ordered and doing his best to comply with all conditions of probation."
Meanwhile, sources tell us ... Scrappy plans to turn himself in to police next week -- and we're told VH1 cameras will be rolling to capture the moment ... of course.
Can someone figure out how to educate these stupid hip hop artists. Why is it that they think the police are stupid and they are so much smarter and think the laws do not apply to them. Throw is skanky ass in jail and then tell him how it is going to be..... Then if they refuse, jasil them,, for a long term and send them to a prison for a couple of years. Then they will see how important thet are. Just another stupid music noisemaker who doesn't have the brains he was born with.
Perhaps it's time to stop catering to these idiots and their antics. Any average Joe would have been put away that day. Step up the consequences for these morons.
Coming soon FREE face and neck tats by artist of your choice paid for by your local Police Department!
It must be that hip hop equates stupid....( that means make ya stupid for the two or three hip hop or rappers who can sorta read) or are these people intentionally ( that means doing it on purpose) acting ignorant ( that means stupid again) Is it beyond the collective comprehension of this group is "artists" that every one is finding them amusing? ( that means learn you sumptin and being laughed at) I wish the would stop and contemplate an action before going forward and once again proving themselves to be moronic. (that means aks you a quechion and show the people your stupid)
If it were Ray J they would have gotten a sample no problem. Maybe get a pic of Kim Kardashian and this Lil' Scrappy might let the piss flow.

HTC Droid Incredible 2 Video
HTC Droid Incredible 2 Video Transcript
Hey, everyone, I'm Bonnie Cha, senior editor at cnet.com and I'm here to give a you a first look at the HTC Droid Incredible 2. This is a long waited followup to the Droid Incredible, which is one of our favorite platform from last year. It's available now from Verizon wireless and it brings some improvement over the original model, but it's not quite a giant leap forward that some people might be looking for. Design-wise, the Droid incredible is now under longer and thinner than its predecessor and indefinitely like the curve shape, but it's like to have the red interior and access because the phone looks pretty plain now when it's standby mode or turned off. You still get the topographic design on back though, which is different and differently could be good or bad depending your taste, but personally I don't mind it. [unk] gets a little more interesting, first you get a lighter and sharper and super LCD, but text and images could [unk] on the text screen and also responsive. HTC says it also provide the really nice theater experience various ways to customize [unk]. Below the display are the usual android short cuts for the home screen mini back and switch function. Five HTC other cool feature with icons actually rotate respond. The small details and I still really like it. When it comes to internet, some people will be a little disappointed of that there were no more improvement make it incredible, doesn't have 4G support or dual core processor. It's also running android 2.2. android and highly committed that think that it will get gingerbread though [unk] will add some points, but there are plenty of the things about the phone. This Droid Incredible 2 has programming capability and [unk] SIM card, but that means when you're [unk] it will automatically switch to compatible GSM network, so you can continue to make calls and receive data and here in the states you will be able to use the phone android like you usually do. Still go an 8-megapixel camera, but [unk] and support for 720p HD video capture The smart phone is also running a [unk] 1 gigahertz snapdragon processor, which kept the device running smoothly during our review period and battery life is much more improved over the original model. The Droid Incredible 2 definitely isn't the most cutting edge smart phone out there, but if you look a better and more refined product, I with it will price lower than 199.99 with the contract, but I think if you're after web phone, it's one of the best one Snapdragon offers right now. I'm Bonnie Cha, and this has been your first look at the HTC Droid Incredible 2.

2010 will see the first Debian developer conference to be held in the US. On the Debconf mailing list, organizing team member Martin F. Krafft, announced the New York venue.
In a three-and-a-half hour meeting, the New York bid narrowly won against strong bids from Boston and Quito, Ecuador. More about the event can be found on the <link href="http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/NewYork%20" target="_blank">DebConf-Wikki</link>.
According to the <link href="http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20090224.220647.b25f4b95.en.html" target="_blank">announcement by Krafft</link>, the US had been avoided in previous years due to visa and immigration issues. These problems have now been addressed by the NYC team and doubts of the organizing committee eradicated.
This year's <link href="http://debconf9.debconf.org" target="_blank">DebConf9</link> will take place from July 23. to 30. in Caceres, Spain.

Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
AC_786 Apr 10, 2012 11:05 AM (in response to rwcgillam)http://www.imodernwarfare3.com/modern-warfare-3-titles-and-how-to-earn-them/
heres a list of all the titles and how to earn them
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 10, 2012 11:23 AM (in response to AC_786)Is this an official MW3 site?
And are you saying the strategy guide is incorrect and there is no 6 fears 7 challenge?
If you can confim that is great. It means I can stop trying to figure it out.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
AC_786 Apr 10, 2012 11:36 AM (in response to rwcgillam)i have got that strategy guide what page are you looking at as i cant seem to find the page and i will take alook at the guide also..
but as far as i know the titles i posted are all legit confirmed titles
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 10, 2012 11:40 AM (in response to AC_786)I don't have it with me, but it's under "Hidden Challenges" near the back.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
AC_786 Apr 10, 2012 11:50 AM (in response to rwcgillam)i see it now get a 7-8-9 point streak ok ill go check it out also and pm you if i achieve it
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 10, 2012 11:51 AM (in response to AC_786)Thanks. And good luck!
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
whytie84 Apr 10, 2012 11:53 AM (in response to rwcgillam)I would guarantee its an error. Most of the challenges are copy and pasted from mw2.
Mw2 had a 789 KS set up. This game doesn't and therefore the challenge is non existent. I'm fairly sure I recall a thread about this not long after the game was out as someone was also confused by this.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 11, 2012 4:52 AM (in response to whytie84)Maybe it's real, maybe it isn't. All I know is it's in the book as a hidden challenge. I'll wait for confirmation from TPTB to disregard, if I can get it.
Anyway, this thread was to brainstorm on possible ways to achieve the challenge, if anyone has an idea.
My post shows it is possible to get a 7-8-9 killstreak in one game, and use them in one life; therefore it is possible to get this challenge if we can figure out how to do it.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
thehunan Apr 11, 2012 11:45 AM (in response to rwcgillam)I think you have to get all in one life not use them in one life. but have not idea. I will look into this also
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
fpsvendetta Apr 10, 2012 12:32 PM (in response to rwcgillam)This is a "Hidden Challenge", as well as others.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
SULLY130EighT Apr 11, 2012 12:58 PM (in response to fpsvendetta)I got this title in MW2. I know it's irrelavent to your question, just figured it was easy in that game, but I don't think it's in this game at all.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
fpsvendetta Apr 11, 2012 3:27 PM (in response to SULLY130EighT)List of the "Hidden Challenges" in MW3:
The Loner - 2500 XP - Get a 10 Pointstreak going with 0 Pointstreaks selected .
6 Fears 7 - 1500 XP - Get a 7 - 8 - 9 Pointstreak going.
Mother Of All Bombs (M.O.A.B.) - 2500 XP - Call in 2 M.O.A.B 's . (Call it in 5 times = 5000 XP , 15 = 10000 XP , 25 = 10000 XP )
Fallout Shelter - 1500 XP - Get killed by an enemy M.O.A.B.
Infected - 1000 XP - Killed by an infected .. ?
Renaissance Man - 1000 XP - Kill 3 different people with 3 different guns in one life.

Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
CoD_Ninja Apr 12, 2012 7:28 AM (in response to rwcgillam)Yo, yo. People! Listen up! I have an idea. It's not that different from what your doing.
The 6 Fears 7 challenge refers to getting a "7 - 8 - 9" POINTstreak going. Emphasis on the POINT in pointstreak.
Now, you guys already know that in all three of the strike packages, a 7 - 8 - 9 killstreak doesn't exsist. But now look at this.
To get a higher pointstreak to get your KILLstreaks (UAV, Sentry Gun, Predator Missle, etc.), it goes like this:
See? All you guys are thinking of the KILLing part of the POINTstreaks. If you take a look at fpsvendetta's second post with all the hidden achievements, and if you read the 6 Fears 7 challenge, it actually says POINTstreak instead of KILLstreak.
In short, the 6 Fears 7 challenge, when it asks you to get a 7 - 8 - 9 POINTstreak (not KILLstreak ) going, means by picking up flags, capturing flags, defusing bombs, etc., three times in a row.
One last note is, is I don't think this could work. I think some of you may be right, that Infinity Ward just carelessly recycled a challenge that shouldn't be in this game. But I have a feeling this could work. I haven't done this before, but attempted to do this yesterday, but always died .
I hope this helps.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 12, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to CoD_Ninja)Good idea. Try to stay alive and let us know if it works.
FYI: In MW3 they changed "killstreaks" to "pointstreaks" because you can get the rewards by capping flags, planting bombs, etc. Those didn't count towards your "streaks" before, so they changed the name.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rwcgillam Apr 12, 2012 8:17 AM (in response to CoD_Ninja)The wording is a little different between the two:
MW2: Get a 7-8-9 killstreak in a match
MW3: Get a 7-8-9 pointstreak going.
It can't be a simple as getting 9 pointstreaks in a row. I've done that before and I've gotten a 7, 8 and 9 killstreak on one game.
I just wish IW would answer my question, then at least I'd know whether I'm wasting my time.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
spripe Jun 12, 2012 6:57 PM (in response to rwcgillam)I haven't tried too hard but maybe go for a 7 kill streak then die. Then go for the 8 and die. Then do it for 9. In that order. As for whoever said we are focusing on killstreaks rather than pointstreaks, a kill is a point so it is the same thing
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
rustyroot Apr 12, 2012 8:23 AM (in response to rwcgillam)Does anyone know if there is space for the title, like on MW2?
That should indicate if its in the game.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
bumsonmyporch Jun 12, 2012 2:15 PM (in response to rustyroot)No. It does not give you an Emlem or Title. Unless its for one of the locked ELITE emblems that no one has or knows how to get yet...
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
HardTacos721 Jun 12, 2012 4:14 AM (in response to rwcgillam)Its listed as one of my tracked challenges in the elite menus, i've tried getting 7 kills 8 assists and 9 deaths, that didnt work, maybe you have to get six kills then a triple.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
ExpeditionMan69 Jun 13, 2012 10:52 AM (in response to rwcgillam)it does not give you a title or emblem. infinity ward recycled this challenge. it will not unlock a locked elite emblem either, seeing as those are for the clan challenges coming out shortly. IW messed up, eos.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
h1r0l3r Jul 31, 2012 7:41 AM (in response to rwcgillam)Well, I've been trying to get this challenge done as well and a bit stumped by how it's done. I managed to get a 7-8-9 killstreak playing KC but I didn't get credit for the challenge. I got 7 kills in a row, died, got 8 kills in a row, died and then got 9 kills in a row (yes I camped to do this; not gunna lie)
Not sure what gives here.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
WiIIBiIIy Aug 10, 2012 12:38 PM (in response to rwcgillam)has anyone tried to do it in drop zone game mode?
it still has the emergency airdrop.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
WiIIBiIIy Aug 10, 2012 12:39 PM (in response to rwcgillam)has anyone tried to do it in drop zone game mode?
it still has the emergency airdrop.
Re: 6 Fears 7 Challenge?
screamin_4orks Aug 10, 2012 6:18 PM (in response to rwcgillam)Maybe it has something to do with the riddle. You know! 6 fears 7 because 7 8 (as in ate) 9
Maybe if some one could work with that and figure it out.

Jailed: Crystal Black, left, and partner Krystel Pokai.
A couple killed a man after luring him to a beach with promises of sex.
Amandeep Singh, 22, was reported missing on New Year's Day this year, and his badly decomposed body was found in bushes on Kaiti beach in New Zealand on January 24.
Crystal Black, 26, and her partner Krystel Pokai, 25, appeared before Justice Murray Gilbert in the High Court at Gisborne on Monday after pleading guilty to his manslaughter, as well as to charges of car conversion, theft of Singh's credit card, using a document to obtain an advantage, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Lured to his death: Amandeep Singh.
They were each jailed for eight years and eight months.
Singh, who was married, was living and working in Gisborne at the time of his killing.
Black and Pokai were out together on December 28 when they had a fight.
As Pokai walked home alone, Singh drove past and she accepted his offer of a lift.
They exchanged phone numbers, with Pokai giving him Black's mobile phone number.
Pokai and Singh met the next day, text messages between the two showing that he wanted to have sex, but she did not.
Pokai and Black spent the rest of the day drinking with friends and began texting Singh again, telling him Pokai had changed her mind.
Throughout the day there were 166 text messages between the women and Singh, who drove to their house and met the pair, who began acting as though they were single.
About midnight the three drove to Kaiti beach in Singh's car.
When they arrived, the two women beat him to death and dragged his body under some bushes.
The women then drove to Kaiti mall, where they tried to use his eftpos card to withdraw money from a cash machine.
Later they drove to a relative's home and asked her to clean their fingerprints from Singh's car.
They used disinfectant and removed items from the car, including a black cardigan that had blood on it.
The items were later burned.
They left Singh's car on an empty section, and returned home early on December 30.
Later that day, Black told her former partner, the father of her two children, that she and Pokai had "just killed a fella".
Some time later, Black's relative and her former partner went to police and told them what Black had said.
The women gave police several different versions of what occurred, initially denying meeting Singh.
They later claimed he had gone "psycho" at the beach, and that it was Black's relative who killed him.

Ignatius Hills, a former officer with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), has been charged in connection with the federal investigation of a police-involved shooting on the Danziger Bridge in the days after Hurricane Katrina, the Justice Department announced today. The Bill of Information against Hills charges him with Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice and Misprision of a Felony.
The incident on the Danziger Bridge, which occurred on Sept. 4, 2005, involved one shooting on the east side of the bridge that resulted in the death of one civilian and the wounding of four others, and a second shooting on the west side of the bridge that resulted in the death of Ronald Madison, a 40-year-old man with severe mental disabilities. Ronald Madison's brother, Lance, was arrested on eight counts of attempting to kill police officers, but he was later released without indictment. The police maintained that they fired at the civilians in self-defense after the civilians fired at police. However, in recent months, four former and current NOPD officers have pleaded guilty to federal charges related to a cover up of the shooting incident.
The bill of information filed today alleged that Hills conspired with other police officers to provide false and misleading statements about the shooting. Specifically, the Bill of Information accuses Hills of writing a "Gist," a charging document for NOPD, justifying the arrest of Lance Madison on eight counts of attempted murder of police officers, even though Hills had no first-hand knowledge of any wrongdoing by Madison, and even though he believed that Madison was being framed. The document also charges Hills with providing false statements about the shooting during an audio taped NOPD interview and in a state grand jury. The bill of information also alleges that Hills knew that fellow police officers had knowingly obstructed justice by falsifying reports, and that he failed to report that crime to federal authorities.
The two-count bill of information is an accusation only. All defendants are innocent until proven guilty.
This case, which is ongoing, is being investigated by the New Orleans Field Office of the FBI, and is being prosecuted by Deputy Chief Bobbi Bernstein and Trial Attorney Forrest Christian of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, along with Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia K. Evans of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

A 2008 yard sign A non-commercial yard sign, circa 2006
Website |
MySpace for his music |
Robert Roy successfully ran for ASUCD Senate on the Friends Urging Campus Kindness slate in the Winter 2005 ASUCD Election. In Winter of 2006, likely due to disagreement regarding the unqualified candidates issue of the fall 2005 election, Rob renounced his affiliation with the Friends slate and declared himself an independent. One of the novel ways in which he campaigned was a video of him rapping about the issues that faced the current ASUCD Senate and his platform points. He has since stated: "I feel guilty about some of the stuff in that video, now being a senator and having the gift of hindsight. I was a little harsh. But at that time ASUCD was not at its best in reaching out to the students or having the students best interests in mind. But I tried to be fair".
Rob Roy was a candidate in the 2008 City Council Election. He spent less than $250 on his campaign and ended up in last place, receiving 4,504 votes (which does mean that 31.8% of people voting, voted for Rob). His website is VoteRobRoy.org. Rob ran for City Council in the 2006 City Council Election and lost, getting 5.58% of the vote.
Rob Roy officially ran for ASUCD Senate as an independent in the Fall 2006 ASUCD Election, but was eliminated in the second round, due to telling people to vote for other candidates, as was the intention of his candidacy. All of the candidates he endorsed that were running on a slate got into office.
Rob Roy also ran for ASUCD President with Arlen Abraham as his VP in Winter of 2007 as part of the Don't vote for Rob and Arlen campaign. Their intent was to increase voter turn out as well serve as an example of single transferable voting being successful. The pair also endorsed six Senate candidates (four of which won), and the LEAD Executive ticket, which was also victorious. Voter Turnout was 22% so the Unitrans Fee Referendum, on the ballot that election, met the necessary 20% threshold to be implemented.
Rob Roy also coined Little Tomato as a nick-name for Davis.
Campaign Literature
Rob Roy at Delta of Venus, emceeing for Jason Webley (Oct. 2005).
Rob Roy is an integral part of Davis culture and lore. He worked in management at the downtown Ben & Jerry's from 2002 to 2009 (at one point Rob Roy was a District Manager in charge of dozens employees in Berkeley, Concord, Roseville, and Sacramento), he was a DJ on KDVS, and, well, he wears an impressive variety of hats. Rob was once notorious for his insane shenanigans off the clock, such as drinking strange liquids and setting himself on fire on camera for a Robotmedia entry.
Rob Roy was extensively involved with promoting and booking local music. Rob Roy has been a DJ on KDVS for a number of years, as well as the Underwriting Director for KDVS for the 2003-2004 school year. Rob used to live at the infamous Pirate Ship, a house that constantly brought touring and local acts to town for house shows, making our weekends a little more exciting, at 720, the house with the Bomb Shelter in the backyard that also puts on house shows, or in 720's case: shelter shows, and also at the Turtle House, even yet another famous houseshow home in Davis. Because of his involvement with the local music scene and his nearly omnipotent presence at various parties, Rob Roy was referred to as the Party King of Davis.
Rob began to learn how to play guitar in late 2005 and started using the pseudonym Sterling Riot. Moving beyond a solo folk performer Rob now fronts a full band with revolving castmates varying in size from 4 to 7 members creating a dance-folk-punk sound. Sterling Riot has performed at Delta of Venus, Bistro 33, Sophia's and even Freeborn Hall. Rob sings and plays guitar, banjo, and occasionally accordion.
Rob Roy is also an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. Back in 1998 during his senior year of high school he was a founding member and President of the North Area Teen Center in Carmichael, a suburb in Sacramento. Additionally, he was president of his 6th grade Sunday School Class.
Rob occasionally makes bold sounding comments in public such as "Chipotle is only half a shade browner than Taco Bell" and referring to Picnic Day as "White Family Day" (people "genetically predisposed to be oppressive"). Some find the comments outrageous and politically incorrect, while others see them as lighthearted and blunt humor. Rob Roy is also an accomplished and active poet. He was responsible for the creation of the (now-defunct) Write Club. You can find some of his poetry on the official Write Club site.
Rob is a helluva smart guy, a capable guy, a talented guy, a courageous guy, a fun guy, and a nice guy. -An independent opinion.
Rob Roy has also been known to target Sodexho for its corporate practices (link no longer active). In a gesture shown to the ASUCD Senate, Roy gladly accepted the free meal given to the ASUCD Senate on its final day of budget hearings. Only one day following his rant in budget hearings in regards to Sodexho's profit from Picnic Day, would one consider this a successful buy-off?

Interesting Comments from People's Vanguard of Davis:

"Before the last election Rob Roy was seen tagging along with Mayor Sue Greenwald precinct walking; she'd do most of the talking and then he'd chime in with supportive comments."

"Probably because you can not get a word in edgewise anywhere around Sue Greenwald."

"I saw Rob winning trivia night on Monday... I think he wins every Monday, along with the faculty, at Bistro33. Our team did tie his for first though, but lost the tiebreaker."

Works great in chrome 8.0.552
Dec 10, 2010
This script works great in at least Chrome 8.0.552. The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the manual configuration involved in installing it. It's not difficult, just not optimal. Also, the send button text alteration doesn't appear to work, but that's not an important feature for me.
Works like a charm

Jaime Hernandez: This is the first year in which they produced Matte Proof Lincoln Cents. All Matte Proof Lincoln Cents have considerably low mintages ranging anywhere from about 1,050 to 4,118. The 1909 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent has a reported mintage of 2,618 coins truck. Therefore, it is not the most common in the Matte Proof Lincoln Cent series or the scarcest. It is however difficult to obtain just like any other Matte Proof Lincoln Cent since very few were made for a series that tends to be extremely popular amongst coin collectors.
As far as surviving examples there are much less than the reported mintage. There are probably anywhere around 1,000 - 1,400 that survive in all grades combined.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks closed lower Wednesday, paring losses during the trading session as investors looked for a possible thaw in negotiations over the government shutdown after a private-sector jobs report came out weaker than expected.
The S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.05% declined 1.13 points, or 0.1%, to finish at 1,693.87, with telecom, health care, and industrials as the worst performing sectors. The index had been down nearly 15 points earlier in the session.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.21% , which at one point was off by 147 points intraday, closed down 58.56 points, or 0.4%, at 15,133.14, with shares of United Technologies Corp. /quotes/zigman/244482/delayed/quotes/nls/utx UTX -0.46% , Coca-Cola Co. /quotes/zigman/222647/delayed/quotes/nls/ko KO +0.26% and American Express Co. /quotes/zigman/217470/delayed/quotes/nls/axp AXP -0.17% weighing on the index.
The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.04% , which at one point had ventured briefly into positive territory, finished the day down 2.96 points, or l0.1%, at 3,815.02. Earlier in the session, the Nasdaq had been down nearly 30 points.
As the government shutdown dragged into its second day, stocks started to bounce off their intraday lows as President Barack Obama invited congressional leaders to the White House for a 5:30 p.m. Eastern meeting to discuss the situation and the looming debt-ceiling crisis. Soon after the invitation, a letter from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to House Speaker John Boehner went public, proposing that the House reopen the government and discuss differences at a House-Senate conference. Boehner reportedly rejected the proposal.
Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein on Wednesday urged Congress to raise the debt ceiling to avoid "extremely adverse" consequences.
Declining stocks outnumbered advancers by 16 to 13 on the New York Stock Exchange and by about 3 to 2 on the Nasdaq. By the close, composite volume topped 3.1 billion shares for NYSE-listed stocks and 1.7 billion shares for Nasdaq-listed stocks.
Investors are "having a little rethink over the implications and longevity of the U.S. government shutdown," said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak, in emailed comments on Wednesday.
Some strategists now say there's a clear chance the shutdown could blend with the debt-limit debate , prolonging the shutdown to mid-October. They've also noted a longer shutdown would create more of a drag on the economy and might call into question Washington's ability to reach a debt-ceiling deal. The debt-ceiling issue is widely seen as more important.
"I think it's impossible to handicap how long this is going to take," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, about the shutdown, which he estimates will drag on GDP by 0.1% a week. "In the meantime, the market's going to be under pressure but we're not at a violent selloff yet."
A huge selloff would be triggered if gridlock in Washington extends past Oct. 17 , when the Treasury will have to start "robbing Peter to pay Paul" to meet obligations and some $30 billion in interest payments in November become threatened, Luschini said.
Investors over the past few years have become somewhat less sensitive to drama in Washington, according to Jim Kee, president and chief economist at South Texas Money Management, which has $1.9 billion in assets under management. But he also said that there will be a stronger market reaction if the current shutdown lasts longer than others, noting the median length for a shutdown is three days. "If we're still talking about the shutdown in a week or two, that will create a lot of volatility and downward pressure in markets," Kee said. Earlier in the day, one ex-Treasury official said the downside risks even include the U.S. economy falling back into recession.
On the jobs front, private-sector employers added 166,000 jobs in September, according to Automatic Data Processing Inc. But economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a September gain of 180,000. ADP also reduced August's gain to 159,000 from 176,000.
"The job market appears to have softened in recent months," said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, which prepares ADP's report, in a statement. "Fiscal austerity has begun to take a toll on job creation."
The ADP report is taking on greater significance this week, because the government's monthly jobs report might not come out if the shutdown continues.
While Fed chief Ben Bernanke avoided commenting on monetary policy at a conference sponsored by the St. Louis Fed, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren earlier in the day said that tapering of monthly asset purchases by the central bank could move slowly over the next several years.
In overseas trading, European stocks fell after the European Central Bank left key interest rates unchanged as expected. ECB President Mario Draghi said in a news conference that risks to the growth outlook remain skewed to the downside, adding that the bank is "attentive" to developments in foreign exchange.
In Italy, Silvio Berlusconi said he would back the government of Prime Minister Enrico Letta in a confidence vote on Wednesday, a surprise move that has allowed the coalition government to avoid a collapse.
Asia markets closed mostly higher, while gold rose, the dollar fell, and oil futures gained.

Do you ever sit and look at your TV and wish you could move it a few inches to the left, just for a little while? Maybe you want to lower it while the kids are sitting on the floor playing video games or raise it higher when your friends' rowdy children come over. All that is possible with a new line of flat panel display mounts from Omnimount.
The company's new ActionMount PLAY line, which they call "interactive" offers side and height motion flexibility after they're installed, so you can move the TV around whenever you want. The motions include – lift, lower, expand, retract, rotate and pan, and are made possible through Ergotron's Constant Force technology, which adds a counterbalance to any motion allowing users to reposition the TV with only a light touch. They come in both single- and double-joint arm mounts.
The new mounts aren't available yet, but will be officially revealed next month at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Here's a little video Omnimount produced to help explain the concept:
