The 'Just Been Attacked By A Zombie' Hoodie
This is a $60 hoodie from ThinkGeek that makes it look like you've just been attacked by a zombie and your brain's falling out the back of your head. The blood and slash effects aren't too realistic, but it's probably for the best since you don't actually want anybody calling the cops because, let's be honest, you've been drinking.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the carnage and a link to the product page.

These are Bum Bag Drink Coolers, koozies that look like brown paper bags but are actually made from waterproof and tear-free Tyvek. You'll be the belle of the ball under the bridge! Man, I've brown-bagged it before. I'm not proud. Or ashamed. It's just one of those things ... / Continue →

Fox: iPhone 5 has laser keyboard, holographic images
New Yorkers are over-excitable.
So when they see folks already lined up to buy the iPhone 5, they come over extra-giddy.
Who, therefore, could blame Fox 5 New York from rushing out to interview the sad, money-grabbing self-publicists who are already adorning the Apple Cube, waiting for the iPhone 5?

Wading in with some thoughts on several topics, starting with Adonis Thomas and Tarik Black leaving the University of Memphis basketball program:
• First off, the Tigers will be fine without them. The No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the country is on the way and while the Tigers still want another big man to replace Black, the truth is that both Thomas and Black were disappointments this past season. This is also why I wish Adonis and Tarik were staying; odds are it would be better for them if they stayed.

Incoming Shelby County Commission chairman Mike Ritz wants to add a countywide sales tax hike for education to the Nov. 6 ballot.
The move, if approved by voters, would not only trump the half-cent sales tax hikes approved this month for five of the six suburban municipal school districts – it would also lessen the revenue the city of Memphis would get from a half-percent citywide sales tax hike already on the November ballot.
The unofficial vote totals are in from Thursday's county general and state and federal primary elections in Shelby County, but no one involved believed the last cartridge read at the Shelby County Election Commission would be the last word on the results.
Voters in each of the six suburban towns and cities in Shelby County approved establishing municipal school districts in the unofficial results of the Thursday, Aug. 2, county general and state and federal primary elections.

The countywide school board voted Tuesday, June 19, not to renew the contract of Memphis City Schools superintendent Dr. Kriner Cash past August 2013 when it is scheduled to run out.
The 14-8 vote came during two back-to-back school board meetings covering five hours in which the board also agreed to talk more about a process for selecting the superintendent of the consolidated school system to come at a meeting next week.
Talks to buy out the contract of Memphis City Schools superintendent Dr. Kriner Cash began last December after a heated conversation between Cash and countywide school board chairman Billy Orgel.
That's what Orgel told school board members Monday, June 11, at a board meeting that adjourned after board members met behind closed doors for 35 minutes with their attorneys.

Memphis City Schools chief Kriner Cash has withdrawn from consideration for the school superintendent position in Charlotte, N.C.
Memphis City Schools spokesman Quintin Taylor confirmed Thursday that Cash has withdrawn from the race to head Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
When he returned to Memphis last week from Charlotte, N.C., Memphis City Schools superintendent Kriner Cash went directly to The Racquet Club of Memphis where a group of 500 was winding up a rally in support of the Teacher Effectiveness Initiative.
Memphis City Schools superintendent Dr. Kriner Cash said he feels like his time in Memphis is growing short even if he doesn't get the job as superintendent of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina.

He and the other two will be in Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday and Thursday for a series of public and private meetings with parents, school board members and the media.

The last time many Shelby County Schools system parents remember this much turmoil about local education was when they were children nearly 40 years ago.
If their children are younger and they have no first-hand memory of court-ordered busing that began in 1973, other parents have almost certainly heard secondhand of the era in which Memphis City Schools students in one neighborhood were bused to another neighborhood for purposes of racial integration.
There are a lot of players to keep track of between the two bodies that are leading Shelby County's two public school systems down the road to consolidation in August 2013.

SEATTLE (AP) – Once-a-year evaluations aren't enough to help teachers improve, says a report by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that includes comments about Memphis City Schools.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools system was consolidated in 1960, years before the schools in the North Carolina system were racially integrated.
And the school system's former superintendent, who resigned earlier this year, told those involved in the Shelby County schools consolidation process that Charlotte-Mecklenburg still has an achievement gap.
The schools consolidation planning commission will talk Monday, Dec. 12, with the former superintendent of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools system in North Carolina.
Peter Gorman resigned as superintendent of the consolidated school system in August to become part of the new education division of News Corp., Rupert Murdoch's media company.
There is the paperwork and there are the deadlines in politics. And then there are the campaigns that begin long before the paperwork or deadlines.
One group of candidates in the 2012 election cycle is approaching its first deadline Thursday, Dec. 8, at noon – the filing deadline for the March 6 county primaries.

In the remaining ten contests, the primaries decided who gets the seats since no one ran in the opposing party's primary.

District 1 incumbent Republican Mike Carpenter easily beat businessman Joe Baier.
In the Democratic commission primaries, Melvin Burgess claimed Malone's District 2 Position 3 seat in a field of six contenders. His closest contender was Reginald Milton. Burgess, a city school system audit manager, had run for the seat before. He brought in 54 percent of the vote.
The other hard fought Democratic commission primary saw Justin Ford, son of the interim mayor, claim his father's District 3 Position 3 seat.
Ford beat Edith Moore, a retired IBM executive, whom the commission appointed to the seat after the elder Ford became mayor.
The final unofficial vote totals are:
Ford 7,342 66%
Moore 3,822 34%
Democratic incumbent commissioners Henri Brooks, Sidney Chism and James Harvey were all re-elected over primary challengers.
The county-wide primaries for seven clerk's positions saw the return of former Criminal Court Clerk Minerva Johnican 16 years after Republican challenger Bill Key took her job. Johnican decisively beat Ralph White and Vernon Johnson in her first bid for office since the 1994 defeat. She will face Republican Kevin Key, the son of Bill Key in the August general election.
Johnican 16,381 51%
White 10,170 31%
Johnson 5,954 18%
Former Juvenile Court Clerk Shep Wilbun easily won the Democratic primary with 76 percent of the vote to face Republican Joy Touliatos in August for the office being vacated by Republican Steve Stamson. Touliatos was unopposed in the primary.
Democrat Coleman Thompson is back for another go at incumbent Republican Register Tom Leatherwood.
Aside from Leatherwood, Jimmy Moore is the only other of the seven clerks seeking re-election. Moore ran unopposed in the GOP primary. He will face Democrat Ricky Dixon in August.

Willingham 11,569 42%

Annita Hamilton 4,848 16%
Clay Perry 3,549 12%
Danny Kail 3,120 11%
Karen Tyler 2,782 9%
The closest contest of the evening was in the Democratic primary for County Clerk. Wrestling promoter and television personality Corey Maclin won his political debut by less than 1,400 votes over Charlotte Draper and LaKeith Miller. He will face Republican Wayne Mashburn who beat Steve Moore in the companion primary.

"Elephants for Africa"
Conservation through Research and Education
Elephants for Africa is a small charity that is committed to protecting the endangered African elephant.
Our founder, Dr Kate Evans, was just seven years old when she visited an elephant sanctuary in Sri Lanka and decided to dedicate her life to elephants. Seeing a young orphaned elephant in obvious distress and grief has dictated the course of Kate's life.
Helping the charity will ensure the conservation and greater protection of elephants in Africa.

Yogurt Cheese
This cheese is simple to prepare and is good in marinades and dips. If you need a small amount of yogurt cheese and don't have a lot of time, use the quick-drain method: Spread about twice as much yogurt as you need cheese in a 1/2-inch thickness on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; cover with additional paper towels, and let stand five minutes. Quick-drained yogurt cheese isn't as thick as this version, but it will do in a pinch.
This recipe goes with Walnut-Yogurt Dip (Akhrot Ka Raita), Saffron-Marinated Chicken Skewers

I'm a military brat who finally settled in Layton, Utah. My family originally comes from Allentown and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and my husband's family hails from Michigan. I've been an amateur genealogist for about 10 years now. I really love this site because I feel I can give back to those who have helped me by helping those who need help. I really enjoy visiting cemeteries. It's quiet and peaceful. It gives me time to relax, get some fresh air and exercise.

Hello, I see that you put up two photos for the memorial for Mildred Layton (Jun 1905 to Jul 1905). The first photo (Mildred Layton, 1905 to 1905) is correct, and the second photo (Mildred Layton, August 1905 to September 1905, twin) is incorrect. Kindly remove the incorrect photo.

Hi Chris: Could you please check on this memorial you created in 2006 - I could not send an edit to you, because you have transferred it to stoogetech, member # 47224235.
It is a duplicate of 123925, created in 2000 by the Utah Historical Soc. and now maintained by kent shepard.
This is my great aunt and I would appreciate the memorial standing alone, so that links do not get messed up. Since Find A Grave is now utilizing the feature to stop transferees from deleting memorials - I don't think stoogetech could delete the dup if they wanted to, not being the original creator.
Think you can do anything to clear it up? - appreciate you - thanks ~Shirleen

If you've got the iPhone or iPod touch version of Amazon's Kindle App [Free - iTunes link] check your updates because the new Kindle 2.0, universal binary version with iPad support is now live in the App Store!
Boasting 450,000 books (for US customers, international availability varies), and Whispersync convenience between Kindle device, iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad, Apple doesn't seem to have a problem with duplicating iBooks functionality.
It also says you can shop the Kindle store, though whether that means you can do it within the app, like iBookstore, or if you still have to go to the Amazon.com website first... we'll find out tomorrow.
If you're a Kindle Books lover, let us know how you enjoy reading them on your iPad!
Cool! I think the reason apple is allowing this is because they don't have all the books that the amazon store offers. Once they do have most of the books, this will not be allowed.
I have updated but I wish they would make the iPhone version look like the iPad UI with the blue background.
I like the bookshelf look of iBooks better, and for me that's what I'll use, but it's great that apple is allowing people to download this app.
This is the only reason I'm considering getting an iPad (as a Kindle replacement). The iPad doesn't have what I want in a tablet except a great device for my Kindle content.
All Apple Users are losers. Apple is telling you what content you can have in their devices. You are like Zombies. Get a google devices and fight them.
I am on the "iPhone Blog" to read about news regarding iPhone... not the iPad.
I don't care about the iPad.
@ Lucas;
I tend to agree but we have to realize the iPhone, the iPad & the iPod touch are all of the same family since they all use the iPhone OS. Besides not much iPhone news right now. I'm waiting for OS 4.0 news then we will hear much less iPad stuff. Hang tough.
I think it would be great if there was a way to keep childish posts like the one From John off here. Then there would be more room to post usefull coments.

5 Great titlexebian | 27/11/2007 | See all xebian's reviews (3)Ok here it goes well iv known about this game for at least 2 years but never had the funds or credit card to play last week i purchased this game not from play.com but another site but felt i should let others know what its like and well i did the norm installed updated and made my account first thing i liked was the character customization was very well done then i enter the training and yes also very good after that i jack into the world and omg WOW its hudge i mean hudge and the best part aboute it is the fact that most interiors u are able to go into and the other player are so helpfull 1 hour in and i was in a group of 3 others grinding for xp with lvl 48,s and i hit lvl 8 great stuff so ya i recommend this game to any fan of the films and non fans best community iv been in for a long time.
5 Well Worth Buying....ZeroMark | 29/08/2007 | See all ZeroMark's reviews (2)I got into the beta for this game, back when it was being run by Monolith. A few months after release it was bought by Sony Online Entertainment and recieved no where near the publicity that Star Wars Galaxies or Everquest 2 gets.Over the last 3 years the game has changed dramatically and improved. While it dosnt have the population of some larger games or the most regular content. It boasts, the best comunity ive ever seen in a game and regular live events (1-2 a week per server) involving characters from the movies. These events are the barebones of what makes this game great.Another great feature is the ability to change class at any time. If you know the movies you know how they learn their skills. Its as simple in The Matrix Online. One minute you can be a master of Kung-Fu, the next an expert Sniper.The final unique feature of the game is the combat system. The "Interlock" system brings combat in a series of animations, locking two combatants together. This gives combat movie like flowing action.All in all a great game. Well worth buying.....
5 Free your mind, then play this game.Zankai | 16/12/2007 | See all Zankai's reviews (2)Now when i saw the trailer for this game i thought it might flop but 2 years on and its still going on and strong as ever. Its not hard to see why i started playing it about 3 months ago and i've enjoyed every bit so far, the missions are good you can replay them and get more xp for it. The characters you can meet are realy good and im not just talking about NPC's im also talking about the PC's as well. I like trying to find answers to the questions i had at the end of last film like what became of Neo. The three factions plus sub factions makes it a good way to seek out new alies and enemies much easyer. A must buy.
1 A warning-Don't botherScarrd | 24/06/2009 | See all Scarrd's reviews (1)Earlier this year, Sony announced they will be pulling the plug on the game's server on 31st July 2009. At the time of writing this, that will mean that anyone who buys this game will only be able to play it for a month before the server will be shut down forever.I recommend that you save your money for something else. Otherwise alot of your time will be wasted and when the server goes down, you will not be able to get your money back.

It's a busy time for East Lansing's city assessor. Assessments have been mailed and the staff are getting ready for visits from property owners during the assessor's review sessions.
"If they are concerned about their evaluation being too high, they can certainly present those concerns to us and we can address them," said East Lansing City Assessor David Lee.
Lee says most homeowners will see only slight changes in their assessment this year, but the overall property value continued its downward trend. Prices are expected to drop by about 1.5% compared to 2012. For the city, that means less revenue from taxes. Other jurisdictions that levy taxes in East Lansing are also affected, including Ingham County and local schools.
The City of Lansing's assessor is also reporting a slight decline in property value this year. Revenue from property taxes in 2013 is projected to be $37 million, down about $1.5 million from 2012.
"When you have property taxes a major source of revenue for your general operations, when there's a decline, it does create a challenge," said Lansing City Assessor William Fowler.
Other communities are also seeing common trends. Meridian Township is about the same with East Lansing and the City of Jackson is seeing a decline of 6%. However, the curve could be turning.
"Projections for tax year 2014 is that we will flatten out," said Fowler.
Assessors say housing prices may have hit rock bottom and it could be time for an upward move.
Property owners can appeal their assessment with the Board of Review. Call your local assessor's office for more information and to make an appointment.

Portugália–Companhia Portuguesa de Transportes Aéreos, S.A., doing business as Portugália, is a regional airline with its head office in Building 70 on the grounds of Lisbon Portela Airport in Lisbon, Portugal,[1][2] and a subsidiary of TAP Portugal. Portugália received the title of "Best Regional Airline" in Europe 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the Skytrax Award for Best Cabin Staff in Europe, in 2005.[3] It operates scheduled international and domestic services from Lisbon and Porto, as well as European charter services, since 2007 exclusively under TAP flight codes.[4] Its main base is Portela Airport, Lisbon, but it has a secondary hub at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, Porto.[5]
First years[edit]
The airline was established on 25 July 1988 as a joint-stock company, but had to wait two years before it could start services, due to a delay in air transport liberalization. It started operations on 7 July 1990 with a flight from Lisbon to Porto. It also flew from Lisbon to Faro that same day. It started operations with scheduled domestic and international charter flights, as scheduled international flights were not then permitted under Portuguese legislation. International scheduled flights started in June 1992 from Lisbon and Porto.
The company's first airplanes were Fokker 100's and since late 1990's it has also purchased 8 Embraer 145, becoming the main competitor of state flag carrier TAP Portugal. Operating in the regional market, Portugália focused its operation in domestic routes, as well as on destinations in Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Morocco.
International recognition[edit]
The Company's fleet stabilized in 2000 with 14 aircraft (6 Fokker 100 and 8 Embraer 145) still operating today. PGA asserted itself on the European market as a private and innovative airline, guided by high level service standards.
Portugália received the title of "Best Regional Airline" in Europe, in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Skytrax Award for Best Cabin Staff in Europe, in 2005 and 2006, and for Best Cabin Staff in Southern Europe, in 2007.[3]
Portugália maintenance & engineering[edit]
Portugália developed its own maintenance services since its earliest days, however it only managed to have its own Hangar and to increase its base maintenance capabilities as of 2005 with the opening of its Hangar at Lisbon Portela Airport. Performing most of its Fokker and Embraer maintenance in house, Portugália managed to significantly improve its results.
Integration into TAP Portugal Group[edit]
On 6 November 2006, TAP and Portugalia's owners Grupo Espirito Santo, announced TAP's acquisition of 99.81% of Portugalia shares, subject to approval by the regulatory authorities. It had 750 employees (at March 2007). Portugalia was to join the SkyTeam Alliance in 2008,[5] but since it was bought by Star Alliance member TAP Portugal, it's not known if it will join Star Alliance as a regional member.
With the acquisition by TAP Portugal Group it undertakes a new business model. The Company stops working independently and starts working within a Group logic as a supplier of flight capacity by hiring its aircraft to TAP Portugal.
Fernando Pinto, president & CEO of TAP Portugal said that the airline's regional subsidiary, Portugália Airlines, is "important to the TAP results as it brings very important passengers from small cities to long distance services.",[6] during European Regional Airlines Association 2012 conference in Porto.
- For list of destinations see: Portugália destinations
A subsidiary of Omni Aviation uses Portugália Airlines colours and livery PGA Express and operates services from Lisbon to A Coruña, Málaga, Seville and Casablanca.
The Portugalia fleet includes the following aircraft (as of December 2012):[5]

"The clean lines of the card's design, the sharpness of the lettering nd font used, the quality of the pearlized paper board stock, and the dimensions of the card all work extremely well together to make a superb card. Absolutely thrilled with it and will certainly order more and also a new design from tinyprints in the future."
"We have reordered this card 3 or 4 times. I gave it to my husband as a Christmas stocking gift and he LOVED it. Now he wants only this card and keeps asking me to reorder. We purchase 250 at a time so imagine how many he has already given out. We do it in grey with his name in a wine color. Very masculine."
"I just received my cards and I love them!! I wish that there were coordinating products like stationary and invites. I would like to see more products available for businesses!"
"I was always asked if I had any Business Cards on me, and unfortunately, I didn't until now. I went to Tinyprints.com and I had a selection of Business Cards to choose. I chose this card. It was simple, yet business type of a card. The cards had arrived early, after they were done, and they were packaged very well."
"These business cards are wonderful! I love the design and TinyPrints even changed the colour to match the note cards I ordered at the same time. I choose this design because it struck me as professional yet a little bit of fun. The high quality of the paper is exactly what I have come to expect of TinyPrints (and WeddingPaperDivas). The cards are a lovely weight. I can't wait to give away these cards!"

The Denver Broncos finally dropped a game Sunday, to an always tough Baltimore Ravens team that, in this case, came into the game with three straight losses and was desperately in need of a win.
Denver remains in good shape with a 6-1 record following the loss, which was a tough defensive struggle that at halftime saw the Broncos trailing by just a 6-0 score. The ravens returned the second half kickoff for a touchdown and slowly pulled away after that.
With that loss, Denver Head Coach Josh McDaniels fell one victory short of becoming just the second or third (and we'll explain) first year head coach to start off his coaching career with seven consecutive wins.
Potsy Clark won eight straight to begin his coaching career with the Portsmouth Spartans in 1931—the Portsmouth Spartans became the Detroit Lions in the modern National Football League.
But Potsy too had a predecessor for this title, albeit one with a couple of caveats attached to his resume.
In 1920, the absolute very first year of an organized professional football league, Barney Lepper was the head coach of the Buffalo All-Americans, who won their first eight games before finishing 9-1-1 for third place, behind the Decatur Staleys (10-1-2) and the league champion Akron Pros (8-3). But maybe Lepper was not a rookie head coach that year.
In checking with the Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistician of the NFL, they believe that Lepper might have coached some team, some place, in the ragtag world of pro football before the game became organized as the NFL.
Either way, this 6-0 start goes back a long way. Any time you are talking about a team that competed with the Muncie Flyers, Tonawanda Kardex, Columbus Panhandles and Rock Island Independents, to name just a few of the very colorfully named early teams, you are talking about the Mayflower of pro football.
Josh McDaniels hails from Canton, Ohio, as most fans know by now, so it seems very fitting that a new coach who comes from the cradle of football would have flirted with a record set as far back as the game can be traced.
By the way, the Spartans played in Portsmouth for four years before relocating to Detroit and becoming the Lions in 1934.
Meanwhile, the game goes on, and it will again for the Broncos. Denver has won six American Football Conference championships and two Super Bowls, but the Broncos have never gone undefeated. And they did not figure to this year as well.
Don't labor about one loss.
So the message to our fans is to focus on the task at hand, which is this week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That's an attitude that likely would have made Potsy proud.

Grier WeeksApril 16, 2008 TESTIMONY OF Grier Weeks, Before the United States Senate "Challenges and Solutions for Protecting our Children from Violence April 16, 2008 Chairman Biden, Senator Sessions, distinguished members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today on the subject of child exploitation. I am Grier Weeks, Executive Director of the National Association to Protect Children, or PROTECT. PROTECT is a nonpartisan, pro-child, anti-crime membership association founded in 2002 and dedicated exclusively to the issue of child protection. We have members in all 50 states, and do most of our work in the state legislatures, from New York to California and Illinois to Arkansas. On the issue of child exploitation, we have focused efforts on securing new state funding to leverage the federal dollars you are considering here today. Within the past year, those efforts have been successful in California, Tennessee and Virginia. We have also worked extensively with law enforcement experts at the local, state and federal level to determine the challenges they face and what resources they need. Twenty years ago, millions of Americans watched a rescue effort in Midland, Texas, when 18 month-old Jessica McClure was trapped at the bottom of a well. For two days, the fate of that one little girl was national headline news, as rescuers raced to save her. Imagine--wherever you were in 1987--if a law enforcement officer had come to you and said: "We know where thousands more children like this one are, trapped and waiting for rescue. But we'll have to leave them there because we don't have the people or equipment we need." That is the situation we are in right now. The maps you are seeing today of domestic child pornography trafficking are not simply visuals depicting illegal Internet activity. Nor do they simply tell us where the criminals are. These are rescue maps. Law enforcement is now providing you with information that can lead authorities, very predictably, to tens of thousands of locations within the United States where children are in immediate danger and waiting for help. That is because while all of these suspects are contributing to a massive black market that commissions the rape of children, a certain percentage are also directly sexually assaulting children themselves. Law enforcement has consistently estimated that somewhere between 30-40% of arrests for child pornography possession turn up evidence of local child victims. The ramifications of this should be clear: for the first time in our history, we have the power to stop and prevent the abuse, rape and exploitation of children on a massive scale. With this power comes a clear duty to protect. April is "National Child Abuse Awareness Month," a good time for honest assessments. One is that we, as a nation, have not done a good job of detecting, investigating and stopping child sexual abuse. We spend billions on child abuse "prevention" and "awareness" campaigns. The outcomes of these efforts are, by and large, impossible to measure. The technology now in our hands changes all of that. Key Legislative and Policy Issues Resources are the Most Urgent Need FBI Innocent Images: The FBI Innocent Images unit operates with approximately the same amount of Congressional funding HUD spends on homeless programs in Rhode Island ($6.4 million in FY 2006). In a letter from the FBI to Senator Biden (July 11, 2007), the Bureau reported that the unit proper includes a grand total of 32 people, including 13 agents, 6 analysts and support staff. The FBI estimates approximately 242 full-time equivalents agency-wide working child exploitation cases. By contrast, Rep. Wasserman Schultz, in questioning FBI Director Mueller last year, pointed out that the FBI has over 2,300 agents dedicated to white collar crimes. Despite this, the FBI admits it diverted almost $4 million of the Unit's budget over a two year period to the Internet Crimes Complaint Center. (In House testimony last October, an FBI official stated the Bureau would no longer divert these funds.) The critically-important Innocent Images unit needs a major expansion of dedicated funding, whether FBI leadership wants it or not, with the accountability and oversight to ensure it is used as intended. A National Child Exploitation Law Enforcement Network In 2003, the issue of a secure online system that could be used by law enforcement agencies around the world in the fight against child exploitation was raised when the Toronto Police approached Bill Gates and asked for Microsoft's assistance. Microsoft reports it spent over $7 million to create what it called CETS: the Canadian Child Exploitation Tracking System. Microsoft offered CETS to the U.S., an offer declined by the Department of Justice, over concerns about conflicts of interest. Subsequently, language was included in the Adam Walsh Act that directed the Attorney General to "deploy technology... modeled after the Canadian... System." During that time, a U.S. alternative to CETS emerged, now known as Wyoming's Operation Fairplay. The Wyoming system was in fact deployed successfully, as called for in the Adam Walsh Act, and over 1,000 law enforcement investigators have been trained on it. In just a few years, the Wyoming system has revolutionized law enforcement, easily rivaling the Microsoft system. Now, the Department of Justice has announced a plan to create a next generation system, to be hosted on the RISS (Regional Information Sharing Systems) network. This platform could complement the Wyoming system and link it with other computer networks, such as the FBI and ICE's. We support a multi-agency DOJ solution, provided that it takes advantage of the best features of the current system, statistical reporting to the public and funding for research and development to ensure the system benefits from outside innovation. We have heard discussion of a plan to host this law enforcement network in a university, corporate or nonprofit setting. We believe strongly that any law enforcement information-sharing system belongs with law enforcement. It would be inappropriate at best to house a database containing records on hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens and millions of crimes in private or corporate hands, or to outsource such a core law enforcement function. We encourage you to exercise close oversight of the Department of Justice as it makes these decisions over the coming year. ICAC Task Force Program On the ground, we see local police and sheriff's departments who, while they may be taking their first steps into computer forensics in response to ID theft or computer fraud cases, generally are not prepared to investigate child exploitation. In some cases, we see fairly sophisticated police departments who are still unsure of how to handle an incoming child pornography case lead. Help from the ICACs is essential in these cases. We have some serious concerns about the way the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has handled its ICAC Training and Technical Support program, but Senate Bill 1738 wisely includes sunshine and accountability provisions that could remedy those problems. Going back to 1987 again, if someone had told you or I then that law enforcement knew where thousands of child sexual predators are and could easily prosecute them and remove them from access to children, we probably would not have believed it. We would have asked, "What are we waiting for?" 1 Operation Fairplay, Wyoming Attorney General reports identifying over 600,000 unique computers engaged in child pornography trafficking since October, 2005. Operation Fairplay has reported seeing as many as 50,000 in a single month. In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee (May, 2006), Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher estimated "hundreds of thousands" of Americans are engaged in child pornography crimes. 2 A widely-cited research study conducted by the University of New Hampshire for the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children found that 40% of individuals arrested for child pornography possession were "dual offenders" who had also sexually assaulted a child, and that an additional 15% had attempted to entice a child online ("Child Pornography Possessors Arrested in Internet-Related Crimes," 2005.) 3 From FY 2001-2007, the FBI reports the number of suspects it "identified and arrested" for online child exploitation was 5,048. The entire ICAC Task Force program reported just over 2,000 arrests in FY 2006. While confirmed, unduplicated counts that include cases worked by ICE, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and other agencies are not available, they would be well under 10,000. 4 "HUD Announces $6.4 Million to Support Homeless Programs in Rhode Island." Press Release, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, D ecember 21, 2007. The FBI states that "in FY 2006, the IINI received $6,397,771 in Congressional funding." (James E. Finch to Senator Joseph Biden, July 11, 2007.) 5 Finch to Biden 6 Ibid. 7 U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing, July 27, 2007. 8 The FBI's diversion of funds from the Innocent Images National Initiative to the Internet Crimes Compaint Center (IC3) was disclosed in the FBI's letter to Senator Biden, July 11, 2007 (Finch to Biden). It was also discussed in testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on October 17, 2007, by Michael A. Mason, Executive Assistant Director, Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch. 10 Ibid. 11 Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, H.R. 4472. |

Hot answers tagged top-rope
First - Please do not only rely on answers in this site for creating top rope anchors. This is something that your life depends on, or the life of someone you care about, take it seriously.
Seek the advice of an expert in person: At the local climbing gym, or guiding service.
Creating climbing anchors is not something you learn simply by reading, you must ...
This may speak to some of your concerns:
American Safe Climbing Association
The American Safe Climbing Association publishes guidelines for safe bolting. Their stuff usually targets the people who are actually doing the bolting, but can be worth reading for general purposes. They have articles on how to tell which bolts are good and which are bad. And ...
Like with most climbing related questions, I personally find it hard to give a definitive rule that applies to all circumstances. There are a couple of safety factors to consider, as well as the perception of the climber. Don't venture out on your own if any of the following doesn't seem intuitive to you.
Keep in mind the following:
Rope stretch: Rope ...
A carabiner is designed to be loaded only along the long axis, near the spine (leftmost figure below). It will be weaker in any other direction of stress. Primary long-axis strength should be marked on the carabiner spine with an up-down arrow symbol, and is typically given in kilo-Newtons (one kN equals approximately 225 pounds of force).
Cross-loading ...
Top Roping:
Top roping has an anchor at the top of the climb. The rope goes from the belayer at the bottom, all the way up to the top, through the anchor, and back down to the climber. If the climber falls, he or she only falls they only drop a little bit, provided the belayer has taken up all the slack. Additionally, the belayer pulls the rope up and ...
The Ethic
So, the ethic among experienced climbers is to not toprope on the base of a popular multipitch route. In addition to the safety issues you point out, its just not fair to the people who invested the time to learn to lead. Especially not a destination place like Yosemite Valley where people may have traveled a long way to get there. You say this ...
It represents a two major things. I'm not going to illustrate, but the core of it is:
Don't load carabiners across the gate or spine side of the carbiner (i.e. the side opposite the gate). This is pretty obvious, but happens sometimes when you make an anchor or whip out a quick draw and then load it without getting all the carabiners in-line with the ...
Rule number one: Assume that one piece of your equipment will break, there must be redundancy right up to the rope. At least two, preferably three, independent anchors should go to two opposing locked carabiners.
As for what to anchor to, if there's a bolted anchor that looks good, use it (but even then, not as the only anchor). If not, I've always found ...
In addition to what David mentioned, their are area specific concerns and, specific ways to check bolts in those areas. Most of the time the generic advice will be useful, but please make sure you speak with climbers familiar with the area you're going to understand about possible bolting problem. Also climbing guides usually contain this information, but ...
It's a bit of both.
When toproping, an experienced belayer should have the necessary training to adjust slack/tension depending on the route itself.
For example, to avoid any swings that would crash the climber into the rock.
There are many examples on safety-related criteria for determining tension (safety for both the climber and the belayer), ...

The shunt is used by a number of pro-climbers to help them when ...
