The Eagle-Tribune
---- — The refusal of Gov. Deval Patrick and leading Massachusetts legislators to comply with federal law on driver's licenses will soon start to have real consequences for Bay State citizens. We suspect, however, that their fetish for coddling illegal immigrants will trump any concerns for the state's legal residents.
State Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr is sounding the alarm that Massachusetts remains one of 12 states not in compliance with the federal Real ID law. One section of the law, passed in 2005 in response to the 2001 terrorist attacks, requires states to verify citizenship or legal immigrant status when issuing driver's licenses. The Sept. 11 hijackers had used state-issued driver's licenses to facilitate their plans.
After a number of delays, the Department of Homeland Security will begin to phase in the law this year. Beginning April 1, according to Tarr, residents of Massachusetts and other non-compliant states will no longer be able to use their driver's licenses to gain entry to some federal buildings and sensitive facilities such as nuclear power plants. Beginning in 2016, Massachusetts residents would not longer be able to use their driver's licenses to board airplanes.
"That doesn't mean that our driver's licenses won't be valid in Massachusetts as a driver's license," Tarr said Friday. "But it means the federal government no longer has to accept them as of April for identification purposes. It means a lot, in my opinion, that a federal agency wouldn't recognize a Massachusetts driver's license."
Tarr, a Gloucester Republican, also represents Boxford, Georgetown, Groveland, North Andover and West Newbury.
New Hampshire residents have been granted a bit of a reprieve. New Hampshire is one of several states granted an extension by Homeland Security for showing progress toward compliance with Real ID. New Hampshire driver's licenses will continue to be accepted at federal facilities as long as the extension is in force.
In Massachusetts, Registrar of Motor Vehicles Celia J. Blue released a statement to our sister newspaper The Gloucester Times saying only that the Registry is "in an active dialogue with its partners at the Department of Homeland Security" and is working to "address their outstanding concerns."
But compliance seems unlikely in the Bay State given the Legislature's headlong rush to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Supporters say the "Safe Driving Bill" currently before the Legislature will make our streets safer by assuring that illegal immigrants get driver training and meet licensing requirements. The unspoken assumption behind the proposed law is that illegal immigrants, in addition to entering the country illegally, are also currently breaking the law by driving without licenses.
With the Legislature presented an option to help law-breakers by making life more difficult for law-abiding citizens, well, Massachusetts residents had better get used to the idea of carrying passports for identification.
If Massachusetts is willing to hand out driver's licenses to those who explicitly are neither citizens nor here legally, it's hard to see how the state will ever be in compliance with a federal law that requires states to verify citizenship when issuing licenses.
When Real ID was being debated, we were unconvinced the law was a good idea. Our arguments fell on deaf ears and the law was passed.
Now that Real ID is the law of the land, Massachusetts ought to comply with its provisions.
"It's a matter of public safety," Tarr said. "It's a matter of convenience and it's a matter of Massachusetts citizens being recognized in the same way that citizens in the rest of the country will be after April."

Seeing an ancestor described as a "pauper" in a census return conjures up images of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist" and a time when the word "poorhouse" (or "workhouse" struck fear in people living close to destitution. But for family historians searching for a story beyond the simple names and dates, such a discovery is an immediate prompt to turn to poor law records.
They are one of the most popular types of offline tools at my local archive centre, the Heritage Hub, Hawick and, although they have not been a source for my own family, I find it fascinating to browse through them.
- Robert Leck, once a well known clockmaker of Jedburgh, admitted to the poorhouse aged 67, with a pattern of admissions and discharges until the time came when he was "wholly disabled, nearly blind and wholly destitute". Interestingly when I did a Google search, I found an illustration of a Robert Leck grandfather clock about to be auctioned in London.
- The story of Janet Scott had a more positive outcome. Her admission record in 1877 gives us a glimpse of the desperate situation in which many applicants for poor relief found themselves. A single mother with two children and a baby, working as an agricultural labourer, she was "wholly disabled by a cart falling on her". She was on parish relief for three years. However she also demonstrated her resilience, as in the 1881 census she was back earning a living, as an Ag. Lab, along with her two eldest daughters.
- 15 year old James Robertson is described as "delicate and deformed by spine curvature and will never be able to do much. He needs a suit of clothes, 2 pairs of stockings and 2 handkerchiefs. Allowed.
- Mary Burns, also in need of clothing , was granted " 1 frock, 2 yards flannel, 2 yards drugget, 2 pinafores and a pair of boots."
- At Melrose, Rosburghshire, a mother and young children were "footsore and weary" and given help as they made their way from Newcastle to Glasgow to rejoin family - a distance of 114 miles.
- Mary Phllips was admitted to the Poorhouse as "this woman's husband deserted her, having absconded to America. She has 2 children and is about to be confined. Her parents very poor."
- The Inspector was not always the hard face of the law. At Melrose two young children whose mother had run away with another man, were given a penny to buy a roll and told to return home and send their father. The record showed six young children in the family aged from 13 to 3 years old.
- Rebecca Ballantyne, however, "burdened with 2 illegitimate children" was refused poor relief on the grounds she was able bodied and earning a good wage - 15 shillings a week as a mill worker.
- In Hawick "Robert Campbell, a weaver, almost disabled by rheumatism applied for relief and was offered admission to the Poorhouse, but declined the offer."
- "George Wilson, a labourer, wholly disabled by bronchitis, as certified by Doctor McLeod, was sent to the Poorhouse on 26th March but left the same on 2nd April."
So my tip of the day is to contact your appropriate local archives centre - they will hold a wealth of records showing there is genealogical life well beyond the Internet and most offer a remote research service. You never know what might be unearthed to throw light on your ancestors' lives.

Israel does all to silence the press, for they are the once able to convey you the truth which is going on. Which is… for Israel, more dangerous than a man with a weapon. That one they just kill. The real fear of Israel is the exposure of the myths they so long try to hide.

IDF puts out casting call for "model with TV experience" to act as Gaza conflict spokesperson
In an advert that appeared in The Stage Tel Aviv magazine, the IDF requested girls aged 19-25 with "glossy, sun-kissed hair" and "intelligent yet carefree demeanour". They also said that the girl should be "happy to wear dark-rimmed secretary-style glasses if necessary", and have the ability to "lie repeatedly on camera, but in a flirtatious way that would make you want to ask her out for a drink afterwards".

Well 'dear' Israel. You can lie whatever you want and get the cutest models on earth with abilities to lie. THIS FOOTAGE made by your own troopers a la Abu Ghraib Style will waste your efforts even in the attempt to talk it straight.

Last night Israeli supporters on twitter were tweeting the image displayed aside. Inciting how many 'rockets' have been launched by Gaza for all propaganda Goebbels style seems to be allowed, even when contradicting literally any reality at all to justify indiscriminate aggression on 1.7 million people in Gaza.
The Israeli propaganda army-unit producing these pathetic and btw poor graphic images 'to show support' lack a lot of facts. Aside the fact Israel recently was stating the number of rockets was about 9,000, it seemed to have risen to 12,000 all of a sudden. But this picture, above all lacks the facts. That only 21 Israeli were killed in the past 11 years, and not 12 years like displayed in the image, for Qassam 'projectiles' are used by resistance first end 200. So 11 years.
In this same period, Israel killed 4705 Palestinians of which about 1000 children in Gaza only (Source B'tselem)

Self-Defense or Provocation?: Israel's History of Breaking Ceasefires
And while Israel and supporters keep reiterating threats and incitement about a large scale assault on Gaza,
this world seems to forget the daily assault on Palestine. Over 1000 in 3 months recorded, not even including the indirect violence by deprivation policies of world's largest open air extermination camp Gaza.
The Israeli narrative of relentless fire from Gaza and so called barrages of rockets is almost embarrassing for one knowing the facts:
- Resistance against a violent oppressor is a legal right, resistance started using 'rockets' first in 2001. Causing 21 Israeli deaths ever since in total
- Israel killed 2300 in the last 5 years in Gaza only
- Israel killed in the same 11 year: Over 1477 children
- Israeli killed 1500 people of which 352 children in 22 days Cast Lead
- Israel used over 3000 Tons of bombs on Gaza in 22 days during Cast Lead of which 75 tons consisted of Depleted Uranium and other forbidden weaponry
- Israeli defense specialists have said the Qassam rockets are merely a psychological threat than a physical one.

Martyred By Israeli Occupation Attacks
انّا للہ و انّا الیه راجعون
May Allah Subhana wa Ta' ala grant the Shuhada Jannatul Firdaus, and ease it for their families, loved ones and anyone around them. Allahumma Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen. ' Inna Lillahi wa ' Inna ' Ilayhi Raji'un, Allahu Akbar
* The list of shuhada does not display, the numerous victims of the zionist occupation which are undocumented by media. Nor it displays the victims of the "silent onslaught" due to restrictions of movement, ability to go to hospitals for treatment or life saving surgery, due to lack of medication because of the blockades and so on. For example: The Slow Motion Genocide by the Siege on Gaza only, killed 600 patients since Gaza got under Israeli Siege.
For an overview of All Israeli Massacres Palestinians go here
Neither does this list, display the avoidable mortality. A clear and statistical factual evidence, about the number of deaths due to indecent ruling by occupation forces. For even an occupier has obligations under International Laws, Geneva Convention and the Hague regulations, which it is neglecting. These circumstances, together with deliberate policies of the occupier to neglect and even deny every basic human right, severes avoidable mortality which is totally silenced by media or reporting organisations. While in the Holocaust, 1 on 6 Jewish people directly died of deliberate neglect, so if we believe the facts over 1 million due to avoidable mortality, neither should these same circumstances be ignores which are ongoing in Palestine. For this report displays a avoidable morality of at least 0,5 million Palestinians.
How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all.

The Fossil Record of the Cambrian "Explosion": Resolving the Tree of Life
Geologist Keith Miller examines the "Cambrian Explosion", a period of rapid evolutionary diversification approximately 575 million years ago, and whether it poses a challenge to evolutionary theory. From the June 2014 issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith from the American Scientific Affiliation.
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology, Part 3
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence (4 entries)
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment we explore how evolution is a theory in the scientific sense, how it is supported by converging lines of evidence, and how it can make accurate predictions about the natural world, using whale evolution as an example.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Series: Evidences for Evolution (7 entries)
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: Misconceptions About Evolution (2 entries)
This two-part series highlights some of the most common misconceptions about evolution and some helpful responses to them.
Series: Understanding Evolution (4 entries)
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.

Day 5: The Great Photography Competition RESULTS
Lovely photo, Arwench! What were you standing on?
Very nice. Try pumping up your contrast in an image editor to make it even more stunning.
My only problem is that the story in the photo becomes more, "A boy and his dad," rather than the whole group. The rest is sort of background for their story.
aha, the "tilt-shift trick".
It doesn't work out so well because of the distracting tree left in focus. How would it have looked with the plane of focus running up along the line of people instead?
I think a more straight-forward approach would have been more impactful. Or closer with a wide-angle to make the crowd look more swarming.
Nice one, capescafe. Good idea to get up high to see the depth of the crowd in this busy shoppingplace.
Good job.
hahaha, That sweetheart up close made this interesting. Could you have gotten all of her shoes in?
I'm liking the visible horizon past the restaurant. Makes me wonder what this place looks like! A better sky would make this stand out.
I get the feeling of, "A lazy Sunday afternoon."
Nice one! I love how close and intimate this is.
Nice light on his face, I love his expression, and I hope I have cool eyebrows like this when I'm his age. Very good, jcwacky.
The "tilt-shift trick" again.
A little cheesy, sorry to say, because what objective does it achieve? It's a little too much like doing an effect for the effect's sake.
From where you were standing, you could have lain down the focus across the crowd instead, and gotten phenomenal sharpness all down to the back of the track.
Good photo of chaos, sbarrat. Nice, straight lines and a somewhat long exposure. If you'd used a longest exposure, you'd have gotten a nice feeling of motion here.
What a darling!
I love the feeling of it. Very photo-journalistic, and wonderful light/shadow.
Good framing and good idea to shoot so much space around her to scale down her height. The door gives a good reference.
Well done.
ah, vigano; You're not in focus!
The shoes are in focus, but blurry because of a show shutterspeed. Secure your camera. Shoot multiple, in case your exposure or focus is bad. Focus on the subject!
I know you can do better than this.
That dog's expression is priceless.
I like this, but a lower, tighter angle might be nicer. How about a closer shot of her and her dog? Have him on her lap, or have her holding him up.
- -
Good work all around, and throughout the competition.
I have a difficult choice between Arwench, capescafe and jcwacky. simonnz's is great but he won on a previous day, so is out of today's running.
I'll have to give it to jcwacky. Flipping through them all of my computer, I always pause a second on that face. The intimacy is great. Good going.
Trying to fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run.

Thank you mystery judge :-)
I was standing at the top of the beach when I took this and had the camera on high zoom.
I'm always scared to mess with the contrast too much. I work with a laptop screen which doesn't always give me a true image and when I see my pictures on a standard monitor they can look a little overdone. But I've taken your advice and increased the contrast a little to post on my flickr page so will compare it with this one when I'm next at work.

Freda Kelly had the job that millions young women all over the world wanted. She was the secretary for The Beatles. Freda's years of loyalty earned the band's trust and friendship. Freda spent 11 years with The Beatles. She was there for the band's many highs and its low points as well. Now she is telling her story publicly for the first time. In the new documentary "Good Ol' Freda" she shares an insider's perspective on the group widely considered the greatest in the history of rock music.
Freda was just 17-years-old when she started her gig. The band's manager hired her to be his secretary. Eventually Freda was put in charge of the group's fan club. She says she had no idea how big The Beatles would eventually become.At one point she and her staff handled as many as 3,000 fan letters a day.
Ryan White directed "Good Ol' Freda." It's one of the few documentaries made with the support of the remaining Beatles and featuring their music. The licensing costs for the film were extremely high. So the filmmakers used a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money for the documentary. Since the film is a non-profit project, they're also accepting tax-deductible donations to help cover the costs.For more information about the movie and its star go to goodolfreda.com.
Freda and Ryan recently stopped by Studio 11 LA. They shared their unique and fascinating stories with Lauren Sivan.
"Good Ol' Freda" is playing in select theaters around the country. It's also available for viewing on iTunes.
We have two celebrity chefs showing us an easy and fab recipe for grilling on today's Studio 11 LA.

I recently purchased a Cilogear pack from MP user goldsmith at www.mountainproject.com/v/fs-v25-cilogear-45l-/107971126 I paypalled him a week ago and haven't heard a peep since. I've sent numerous emails to him and still nothing. It seems he has taken my money and decided not to give me my goods in return. Pretty sure that is stealing. Bottom line: do not buy anything from GOLDSMITH, if you know him, give him a kick in the junk from me.
one week and he's already a scammer? I think you may be a little amazon-2-day-shipping-policy-spoiled.
I dont expect it in the mail immediately, its the week of no communication that seems shady. Is that being paranoid?
Attention dumbass: Don't ever pay in gift form to people you don't know. That is all.
From any other subsection of the population - yeah. From climbers who check their emails once a week in between dirtbagging and roadtripping and trying to find their next job...probably not. I always give climbers much more latitude concerning the frequency of their communications.
thats fair. I'd like to be wrong.
It took over a month to get some shitty climbing holds I bought from that tool. Also beware of BENXCSKI.
also, in my experience there is almost never a situation on MP where it actually ends with no gear and no refund. it seems that most times the buyer freaks out prematurely and then they get their gear or money and STFU real quick
Bottom line: you shouldn't be accepting people's money if you are not going to promptly forward the goods you offered in exchange for it. The 'I'm dirtbgging and can't get to the post office' excuse is just weak.
I got payment from a dude for some crampons like two weeks ago and they were still sitting in my gear room as of yesterday morning. I immediately responded to his WTF-is-my-shit email, cause I keep up on my Verizon bill, but we climbers are just a bunch of flakes. That's sum bullshit- don't get me wrong. But it seems too early to call him a crook. He's probably just a superflake.
S Denny-In general I think you're right, and people need to chill out, but I cant help but think a posting like this doesn't light a fire under someones ass to get a situation made right. The one thing I find pretty lame is when some ass bag buys your stuff, then turns around and posts it back up the day after he receives it for a few buck more. I dont sell stuff here to make money..if im not using it and someone else can, great, Im all for hooking fellow climbers up, but not so they can make a buck, go to ebay for that...a rant I guess to the S Dennys question why..
When Goldsmith made the decision to sell something here, it is his responsibility to keep in contact with the purchaser till the transaction is complete. It is also the purchaser's responsibility to do the same. If Goldsmith is dirtbagging or on a road trip, it is common courtesy to inform the buyer of the circumstances when the item it sold. This is not difficult at all. One email containing one or two sentences before departure. A couple of examples: "Hey I'm on a road trip and will not have access to my email for a week. Will get back with you when I have access to a computer" or "Hey I'm living out of a van at the moment so email is hard to access sometimes. I will get back with you in a few days". I'm not exonerating the OP. There are two sides to every story. It is possible that something came up...life happens. But one whole week?? If we take the OP's word for it, Goldsmith is a flake and no one should buy anything from him. But I would give it a few days. Now that this thread has been created, Goldsmith might post his side of the story and ultimately you will get your gear.
Another week, another MP scam with an OP complaining that some random person stole from him Will the buyers continue to defend this system with no recourse? Of course! You can always trust other climbers!
Apparently the OP missed the "cam scam" from a week or two ago. Another nine days and a few more pages slamming the MIA seller, and all should be well.
goldsmith emailed me today. I was wrong to be so impatient and quick to hostility. My sincerest apologies goldsmith
I bought a pair of pants on here tha never showed. I gifted the money and received no tracking number and no picture of postal receipt. Three months went buy with the reply that they had shipped and he was tracing them down. Yesterday got a refund from seller. He could have screwed me but didn't. They're not all scammers.
I recently sold a pair of crampon linking bars to some poor guy, somehow they showed up as a single rather than a pair...never did find the other...have no idea what happened. Obviously, I refunded. Bottom line, if you want gear well below retail, expect a little longer wait, or a few fuck ups now and then. If you can't deal with that, pay retail. Whatever you do, DO NOT PAY PAYPAL GIFT. If you're getting a killer deal a bit of a delay in shipping is okay, a seller f-ing up and refunding you is fine, somebody straight up scamming you is not. Paypal purchase is the best way to protect yourself.
Really depends on the person I'd imagine. Some I've bought from don't treat it as a business sale or responsibility,,they've acted like it was just something to do (ship it) in their free time, which might be a week or more away it turned out. One later tells me he was out of town and not home to ship it,,,BUT he certainly was on the ball to demand immediate paypal payment. I'd HOPE for at least a 48 hour turnaround on the purchases made here, but have found out that a week or more before they even put it in the slow mail bin is typical.
Bad experience with this exact situation/person. I understand that we are all busy and doing our own thing but I purchased this SAME pack from him and had the same situation. As of last week after over 2 and a half months dealing with him I just now got a refund for the pack that never was sent. Don't know what his deal is but he's got something going on. Had over 20 email exchanges with him all very patient and when I finally lost it, a refund finally came. Best of Luck
Teens and 20-somethings need to learn about the postal service, and how it works. It's not Internet Fast, you know.
Most of understand by now how the mail works. But if the seller is going to drag his or her feet they could at least respond to the buyer's inquiries about status of shipment, which this seller did not. I think some of the responses to this thread would be very different if the seller had shipped the goods promptly and then had to deal with a nonresponsive, recalcitrant 'just chill bro' attitude from the buyer.

Lockout limbo

With NFL teams stuck in a state of limbo thanks to the lingering lockout, we are taking a tour around the league and looking at where teams stand as they await the opening of the 2011 league year. Today, we offer our take on where the Titans stand.
Top three story lines
1. After 30 years with the organization, Hall of Fame guard and longtime offensive line coach Mike Munchak is set to embark on his first head-coaching journey. The Titans' first big move under Munchak was selecting QB Jake Locker with the eighth overall pick in the draft. The club loves Locker's toughness and intangibles, but accuracy and decision-making concerns make it hard to imagine him being the starter from Day One. The Titans plan to add a veteran in free agency who can start right away; whether that guy is Kerry Collins, who knows the offense well, or perhaps Matt Hasselbeck, who has ties to GM Mike Reinfeldt and director of player personnel Ruston Webster from their days together in Seattle, remains to be seen.
2. The Titans' defense nosedived the past two seasons after back-to-back playoff appearances in 2007 and '08. New coordinator Jerry Gray has been given the task of righting the ship, and he has placed an emphasis on getting bigger, more rugged defenders in the front seven. The Titans spent five of their nine draft picks on linemen and linebackers, meaning a shakeup at those positions is on the horizon.
3. WR Kenny Britt has nearly half as many run-ins with the law (five) as he does TDs (12) in his first two seasons in Nashville. While he possesses the size and athleticism to become a perennial Pro Bowl wideout, his immaturity and poor decision making have made it difficult for the club to count on him. Munchak's first big test will be how he handles Britt, whose most recent arrest this offseason likely will be met with discipline from Roger Goodell.
2011 free agency — whenever that happens
Unsigned players: LB Colin Allred (3), DE Jason Babin (7), LB Patrick Bailey (3), DE Dave Ball (6), QB Kerry Collins (16), DE Marques Douglas (10), DE Jacob Ford (4), FB Ahmard Hall (5), OG Leroy Harris (4), CB Roderick Hood (8), WR Randy Moss (13), S Donnie Nickey (8), OL Michael Otto (3), TE Bo Scaife (6), LB Tim Shaw (3), QB Chris Simms (8), OLB David Thornton (9), MLB Stephen Tulloch (5), OLB Jamie Winborn (9). [Editor's note: The number after a players' name is his years of service in the league. If the NFL decides to go with free agency under the same rules as used in 2010, then a player would become a restricted free agent after three years and an unrestricted free agent after six years.]
Analysis: The Titans' No. 1 objective in free agency is acquiring a veteran signalcaller who can build a bridge to Jake Locker. Once that has been accomplished, the club will focus on re-signing their own guys. Before the lockout, the club tendered seven players, including Ford, Hall, Harris and Tulloch. The Titans hope that the 2010 free-agency rules remain in place, as all four guys are major contributors who could draw interest elsewhere if they are unrestricted. DE Jason Babin, who is coming off a career-high 12½ sacks in '10, likely will receive higher offers elsewhere as he does not fit Jerry Gray's mold of a stout run defender and is a Jim Washburn guy — Washburn left the Titans this offseason to coach the Eagles' defensive line. Moss, who had virtually no impact in eight games last season, and Scaife, who fell out of favor with the club, are not expected to return. The team could look to make a few additions on defense if it can do so for the right price, with defensive line, linebacker and safety all being areas where improvements can be made.
2011 rookie class
First-round QB Jake Locker (No. 8 overall) — Locker's dedication and leadership qualities make him the antithesis of Vince Young, who wore out his welcome with the club last season.
Second-round OLB Akeem Ayers (No. 39 overall) — The Titans have big plans for the playmaking Ayers, who can line up over the tight end and set the edge, rush the passer from a three-point stance and drop back in coverage.
Third-round CB Jurrell Casey (No. 77 overall) — At 6-0, 300 pounds, Casey can occupy multiple blockers, but also possesses the quickness to generate pressure in the backfield.
Fourth-round LB Colin McCarthy (No. 109 overall) — The Titans are looking to reshape the linebacking corps, and McCarthy, if he can stay on the field — he was a china doll at Miami — can push for playing time immediately.
Fourth-round RB Jamie Harper (No. 130 overall) — Harper has the size to be a change-of-pace back when Chris Johnson needs a blow. Harper could challenge backup Javon Ringer for carries.
Fifth-round DT Karl Klug (No. 142 overall) — Klug does not have great measurables, but his relentlessness led to a lot of production on a very talented defensive line at Iowa.
Sixth-round OT Byron Stingily (No. 175 overall) — Stingily is a developmental prospect who should benefit from learning under two Hall of Famers in Mike Munchak and new O-line coach Bruce Matthews.
Seventh-round DT Zach Clayton (No. 212 overall) — The overachieving Clayton was a pro-day riser who will have an opportunity to contribute on a new-look defensive front.
Seventh-round SS Tommie Campbell (No. 251 overall) — Campbell looks the part, possessing a nice combination of size and speed. Transferring three times in college raises questions, however.
Lockout fallout: How impacted will the Titans be by the work stoppage?
On scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most significantly impacted), the Titans rate a 10. This is a club that could not be in worse position to endure a lockout. With a new head coach, two new coordinators and a new quarterback, the players desperately need all the time they can get to become acclimated to a new staff and two new systems. The front office is impacted because it needs free agency to begin so it can secure a veteran signalcaller. Mike Munchak, a rookie head coach, is missing out on valuable time to create the work environment he envisions for his players and new staff.

2. would long-term use of rear wheel weights hurt the drive train on a mower tractor?

It is time to test chloramine

THANK YOU, dear editor for this wonderful opinion! Finally, an opinion that makes sense! I couldn't agree with you more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
People Concerned About Chloramine (PCAC) in VT and CCAC in California are working hard to not only fight the good fight on the local front, but we also help people suffering from chloraminated water in other states deal with this horrific situation. As the the contact person locally, I have personally heard over 200 heart breaking stories from people who were suffering alone from chloraminated water in the Champlain Water District. These people all thought they were the only ones until they talked with me and found out they were in good company.
This is all because our public agencies have failed us. To add insult to injury, once we brought this issue up to them, all we have heard back is that chloramine is safe, and there's nothing to worry about. They will not do a legitimate study of the health effects. So far. We feel so betrayed by their violation of the public trust! These agencies are supposed protect us and we find ourselves fighting them for dear life! Unbelievable!
Editorials like yours give us hope all over the country, and for that we are very very grateful. What would we do without our free press???

People Concerned About Chloramine
on Oct 2, 2007 at 7:40 pm
I applaud the opinion piece on chloramine in our drinking water and hope it reaches a lot of people who are unaware of this threat to our health. We know so little about the health effects of chloramine, but do know that chlorine is a much better disenfectant, especially for e-coli. Our pristine water now has to be avoided by people who have reactions to chloramine. What a shame! I wonder if I should stop swimming in the indoor pool at the YMCA. I wonder how long the fish in our backyard pond will survive in chloraminated water. I wonder if the switch I made to bottled spring water will make any difference if I still swim, shower and breathe vapors of chloraminated water. The only answer is to switch back to chlorine until studies show that chloramine is a safe disenfectant. If you want more evidence of the harmful effects of chloramine, visit the website www.chloramine.org.

Thank you so much for your well-considered editorial. It is great to know that there are people who take this issue seriously and want to get this untested, unhealthy disinfectant out of our pristine Hetch-Hetchy water system. It boggles the mind to think that our public agencies will take no action, even after hundreds of people have shown serious evidence of chloramine's harmful effects. And this does not include all of those people who are affected, by this, who do not even know about chloramine yet. It could number in the many thousands. I, personally, have family members who are affected by chloramine and I see first-hand the damage this chemical can do. We must prepare and cook all of our food in bottled spring water only drink beverages made with bottled spring water, brush our teeth and bathe in only bottled spring water. To top it all off I have to take my wife two hours out of town, once a week, so that she can get a shower and do our laundry. The expense is incredible! but it is better than paying medical bills and watching a loved-ones health deteriate anyway. When we do these all of these things my family is safe and symptom free. But who wants to live this way. In conclusion, if these symptoms were happening to the family members of the SFPUC or health department officials or EPA people I bet you that they would be moving very quickly to get this pestilence out of our water!

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A man who was bitten by a dog at Hugh MacRae Park will not have to receive the rabies vaccination, because the owner of the dog that bit him was located thanks to our report.
Tim Burleson was bitten two weeks ago at the park while trying to pull his dog away from a fight with another dog.
He was in a rush to get to the hospital and did not exchange contact information with the owner of the other dog.
Animal Control and the Health Department told Burleson he would have to get vaccinated for rabies, if they couldn't confirm that the dog did not have rabies. Last week, we highlighted his search for the owner of the dog in our newscasts and online at WECT.com.
Tim's wife, Tammy, tells WECT.com that they received a call over the weekend from the mother-in-law of the woman who owns the dog. She saw the story on WECT. When she spoke to her son, she asked if their golden retriever, Buddy, bit anyone lately. He told her that the dog actually did bite someone at the park. She informed him that the man who was bitten was looking for them, in an effort to avoid having to get the rabies vaccination. They contacted Animal Control and officers who observed the dog determined that Buddy did not have rabies. Therefore, Burleson will not have to get a vaccine for rabies, which can be expensive and painful.
Tammy thanked WECT for our story, crediting our coverage for helping to locate the dog's owners. Tim was scheduled to start treatment; they are relieved that he won't have to undergo a round of rabies shots.

Of course it's Posnanski so you have to read the whole thing, if only for the long digression about Charlie Hough and passed balls. But here's a taste:
I've always thought of the knuckleball as poetry. When it's really good, it's surprising and deep and almost impossibly awesome — you just can't believe something could be so cool. A great poem, like a great knuckler, feels like it is breathing. And when it's really bad — bad poetry or bad knuckleballs — yeah, it's really bad.
Here's the thing: Like poetry, I can't help but feel like the knuckleball is on the verge of disappearing. Of course, neither one is really disappearing. It just feels that way. That's why it struck me so funny and touching when Elizabeth talked about going into the poetry business. I know there IS a poetry business out there, I know there ARE brilliant poets out there, but I honestly don't come across them much in my life.
Joe worries that Tim Wakefield was the last of the great knuckleball pitchers; the last of the knuckleballers who last forever and win a couple of hundred games. I don't think he's the last. But I fear he's the last we're going to see for a long, long while.

I'd like to include a basic maps feature in a Qt Quick application I'm writing, just a bird's eye view of the surrounding, really. According to this video, it's possible in "2 or 3 lines of code".
Please could someone point me in the direction of how to best go about implementing this? Thanks.

Helpful owner
The owner Clement was very helpful and welcoming during the entire stay. The house was very large and in a private neighbourhood with a short distance to Disney. The owner provided strollers and cribs that made it very easy for us to plan our vacation especially not worrying about bringing all the kid's stuffs. We really enjoyed the private pool and the hot tub especially at night.
petersons vacation
This was the most beatuiful vacation home that my family and I had the pleasure staying in.it was so nice and cozy. The pool area was do clean. Its actuslly our home away from home. I've had some vacation home renters but I never had the pleasure of renting from anyone like mrs. Marilyn zang. Just her conversations over the phone makes u feel at home.. I wish I hsd the pleasure of renting from her before. Take my advice; if u ever get the opportunity to rent her beautiful vacation home, do wait to late, go ahead and give her a call; u just have to beat me to it.(lol). Enjoy your vacation; the Peterson.
We travelled with two toddlers. If you can't read the whole review: The gist is - BOOK IT!
When we walked in the home: the wood floor, clean carpet tiles, soothing wall paint, and tasteful décor caught my attention. The home is exactly as pictured: minus bedding in the bedroom, the furniture in the kitchen, and the orchid. Seriously, these were the only things "different from the pictures" (do they matter? No. my point: the home is EXACTLY as pictured). If you are travelling with young ones (delete packing sippy's, kids dishes, highchair, stroller, baby gates, monitor etc). The house temperature was set at a comfortable range. The dishes in the kitchen isn't one of those "cheap" pots and pans – they are high quality stainless stuff. We had plenty plates, glasses, cups for our week's stay. The yard is well kept. We did not use the BBQ grill so I can't comment on that. We did not use the game consoles so can't comment on that. The house in general is roomy, clean, and gets plenty sunlight. The bedrooms are decent sized with good closet space. The mattress, pillows, and comforters are indeed very comfortable. My kids loved the life sized mickey and Minnie. Plenty towels in the restrooms. The small wooden table and chair for the kids is such an awesome and thoughtful addition. Netflix is available for free. I couldn't locate the baby monitor upon arrival. One call to the management and she promptly came and left it for us on the table. The door to the pool has an alarm which was very thoughtful. Night lights were a nice treat. Outside the screened pool, we often had visitors – birds, squirrels. Then there is something about a pool overlooking a lake, so relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and the gated entrance made us feel safe. The neighborhood pool and splash pad was so much fun. The house is also conveniently located to the "medieval times", a grocery store, and to the Disney parks – it took us around 20 -25 minutes or so to get to the park each morning (you don't have to take the tollway to reach the park. My only "suggestions" would be: 1) Have light switch covers available to make the home even more baby friendly (or renters – bring a pack of those plastic covers on your travel). 2) The mattresses in the kids' rooms were very high and hence the bed rails did not really come up "high enough" and didn't really do anything (in terms of preventing a child from rolling off the bed). (I put my daughter's mattress on the floor). Thanks Catherine for your communication! We will return – I have already recommended your home to my family & friends!
