May 10, 2007Albany -- A man was gunned down just outside an entrance to J. C. Penney. A young black man was shot in the chest and killed on the sidewalk outside the west entrance to Penney's at 1:30 this afternoon.
Moments later, Quantravious Lanier Upshaw, 24, was taken into custody. He was across the street from Penney's at the Westover Car Wash.
The victim's name is being withheld pending the notification of relatives.
Albany Police sent a press release stating that the suspect and victim may have known each other, and the shooting happened after a confrontation and fight. The body of the dead man will be sent to the Moultrie Crime Lab for an autopsy.
As shoppers watched in horror, police roped off the area with crime scene tape, covered the dead man with a sheet and 50 minutes later, paramedics put him inside a body bag and into an ambulance. Firefighters then washed blood off the sidewalk outside Penney's.
It was around 1:45 Thursday afternoon when the Albany Mall parking lot near a west entrance to JC Penney turned chaotic. APD Lt. Kenn Singleton says, "From the preliminaries that we have right now, supposedly there were two individuals involved, one person was shot."
Upshaw apparently jumped into a white Cadillac and rode across the street behind the mall to the Westover Car Wash. Moments later, he was taken into police custody.
Dougherty County Assistant District Attorney Greg Edwards told us, "My understanding is that the officer was able to catch him very quickly." Was it a foot chase? "There was a foot chase."
"Right now we do have the possible shooter in custody," Singleton said.
Inside the glove box of that White Cadillac, police found a 9 millimeter pistol with a spent shell casing. Police also searched garbage cans at the car wash and were holding a book as evidence.
But just what happened outside the Penney's entrance is unclear.
"It's too early to tell whether there was any gang involvement, but there has been some indication that these individuals knew each other that's the preliminary indication we have right now," Edwards said.
They're also trying to determine whether more people might be involved.
"At this point in time all we know is two individuals were involved in it right now it could be more persons but we're not sure right now, like I said, we're still trying to iron out all the facts," Singleton said.
Before today's mall shooting, there had been three murders in Albany this year. Albany Police have arrested suspects in all of them.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu has often been recognized as a discipline that allows the smaller man to conquer an oftentimes over-sized opponent. This perception of the art has been around for mixed martial arts fans since Royce Gracie was submitting fighters over 200-pounds, who were muscular and massive in comparison to his own substandard stature.
While this is very true, as the art of jiu-jitsu is focused immensely around leverage and technique and strays from the need to have brute strength, there is also a need for power. Whether that power comes in the form of amazing wrist control like that of Anthony Pettis or whether it be raw power shown in the upper body of Matt Hughes as he choked out third degree black belt Ricardo Almeida, the need for power remains in grappling.
Not only is power used in takedowns and positional control, it is also highly beneficial to submissions. Prying an arm free for an arm bar or choking someone unconscious in three seconds, as opposed to eight, is a game changer.
Follow me after the jump for a few examples of power induced submission finishes.
When you are a Division I wrestler it isn't unheard of to become a very respectable grappler in mixed martial arts. When your teacher is jiu-jitsu black belt Matt Serra, it isn't unheard of to develop a very slick submission game. Being a purple belt and having one year of formal jiu-jitsu training and entering into jiu-jitsu's most prestigious tournament, going toe-to-toe with one of the world's best grapplers, well, that is unheard of.
That's the story of top ranked prospect and undefeated fighter Chris Weidman, though. He's a 6-0 Serra/Longo trained middleweight that is buzzing right now in the combat sports world. From giving Andre Galvao one of his stiffest tests in the 2009 ADCC competition to his perfect record in the mixed martial arts world, Weidman is moving on up.
He is a perfect example of someone who can use his remarkable strength to compliment his improving grappling skills. He showed that when he met up with tough Canadian Jesse Bongfeldt.
Before we start, let me first give a thank you to Zombie Prophet for the .gifs. Check out his site (Ironforgesiron.com) -- he has .gifs and videos of fights up faster than anyone else on the 'net.
Weidman initiates this sequence as he launches a solid knee into Bongfeldt's body. In anticipation of the knee, Bongfeldt folds in to soften the blow and moves in for the takedown just as the knee lands. Bongfeldt attempts to grab onto a single leg, the same leg that launched the knee. In attempting to takedown the All-American wrestler, the karate practitioner leaves his head in a very bad position.
Recognizing that Bongfeldt left his head under his arm pit, Weidman retains balance as he slips his right arm up and under the neck and chin of Bongfeldt. Weidman quickly begins to put some force into the choke by squeezing the arm, clutching his free hand which is not being isolated by the left arm of Bongfeldt, making this a no-arm in guillotine.
For more on guillotines read here.
While fighting with Bongfeldt, Weidman remains calm with the choke. As he begins to push Bongfeldt back, he lifts his body up, arching his upper body, which, as you can see in the clip, makes for a very erect and pressure inducing posture. That lift allows the weight and leverage of the upper body to further strain the neck of Bongfeldt.
This is the same movement you would see when this choke is being executed from your back, with the exception being the lack of hip involvement. This displays even more so the power used in a standing guillotine.
Weidman pushes Bongfeldt back towards the fence and with the leverage and power being used there is no viable option then to tap out or go unconscious. Weidman shows, once again, why he is so heralded as a prospect and why the middleweight division should be on high alert.
Rousimar Palhares is one of the most physically imposing fighters in the sport today. Incredibly muscled, the stout middleweight is built like a tree stump which is what his nickname, "Toquinho," means in Portuguese.
Palhares has built a reputation as a dirty fighter but nevertheless is one of the most technically sound jiu-jitsu players in the sport. With 13 career wins, Palhares has notched nine submissions, six of those by way of leg lock. If you have seen him fight you have probably seen him go for leg locks frequently, as he may be regarded as the most dangerous fighter in MMA with a limb in his grasp.
The reason being his power, Palhares is an insanely strong grappler that doesn't need to power through submissions due to his technical prowess but only adds to the devastation with his brute strength.
Never was it more evident then in his fight with Tomasz Drwal at UFC 111.
Palhares evades a front kick and as Drwal falls to his back, Palhares swarms quickly. While scrambling, Drwal's left foot is served up on a silver platter.
Leg locks are extremely dangerous and even more brutal. In this case Palhares attacks with a heel hook which can be easily chained to become a knee bar. Palhares, using his brute strength, doesn't have to attack the knee or really set up the submission since as soon as he uses some of his power to put force on the hold, the pain sets in.
The heel hook, as its name suggests, really attacks your opponent's heel but it also sends shockwaves down your leg and starts to really attack the knee. Ligament damage abounds.
In this clip, after grabbing the left ankle under the arm pit, Palhares drops to his back with it clutched together by his body and arm. In simple terms, he has a guillotine of Drawl's foot. With that foot near the arm pit trapped, Palhares pulls back on that hold by using his weight and leverage to torque backwards while shifting his hips forward.
For more on the leg lock, including Palhares' use of a knee bar, click here and here.
The tap comes immediately, as do the torn ligaments. The hold is excruciating and immediately injures the knee and leg. This comes as little surprise considering the power of the initiator. With such strength in his upper body, Palhares' adds fear to go with his ridiculously technical arsenal of attacks.
Leg locks do not have a 100-percent success rate; they can most certainly be fended off. There have been countless leg lock attempts in the UFC that have been countered or fought through.
But when dealing with powerful grapplers who snap through defenses with brute strength, there isn't much to do if one is caught this deep in a limb submission.
That's it for this week, Maniacs. Until next time.

Many developers for Vista noticed all the new issues with editing and/or deleting registry keys. The new security measures turned the whole registry model to a major pain for developers.
A first step to some would be to check if the key is WRP Protected or not. To do that do the following:
Right click on the key -> Click Permissions -> Full Control would be only for TrustedInstaller (users/groupname tab) then the key is WRP. This means only Trusted Installers get to make changes to the key.
Trusted Installer is a service that hosts code for install, update, and un-install of OS components. The service is trusted by the system to check for all the prerequisites such as package authenticity, signing authority and dependencies before making system changes.

(WMC-TV) - This week, Action News 5 launched our "5 Listens" program, a series of town hall meetings in different neighborhoods. We were at Breath of Life Christian Center and got to hear from many people in the Frayser area. People also were able to participate online. For our "Your Turn" segment this week we're presenting one of those online comments. This one is from Barbara Niemeyer. In her words:
I think we need more positive coverage in the news. I, for one, am getting very tired of waking up every morning and reading or hearing about yet another murder in the Mid-South area. In the next five or six years, I will be making decisions about my retirement and right now, it is not looking good that I will be staying in this area.
That's Barbara Niemeyer's turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment or anything else, email email@example.com or call 800-465-1210.

The rumors have been rampant as quickly as Mark Stoops was hired that FSU offensive coordinator James Coley would join him in Lexington.
Many have speculated that Texas Tech OC and Kentucky alum Neal Brown would come home to be the offensive coordinator, but it was pretty hard to register how both he and Coley could fit into the offensive side of the ball.
Many think Coley will indeed come to Lexington, but in a different capacity than offensive coordinator.
.@toddnky If Coley comes, there's no guarantee he's coming as OC. Could be recruiting coordinator, etc.
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_CJ) November 28, 2012
There has still been no word if Neil Brown has been contacted about the position, but I have spoke to a couple of people that he would be interested if the opportunity presented itself.
Should be an interesting press conference Sunday when Mark Stoops is officially presented as head football coach, because I would say there is a good chance we will find more about the staff for the upcoming season.

The first opportunity for horses taking the New York path to the Derby to pick up graded stakes earnings is the $200,000 Withers Stakes (G3), a 1 1/16 mile trip over the inner dirt track at Aqueduct. A field of 6 went to post, with Alpha sent off as the 3-10 favorite off his 2 1/2 length win in the Count Fleet last out after finishing 11th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. In to challenge him included 11-2 second choice Hakama, winner of two straight and making his stakes debut, and 13-2 third choice Tiger Walk, also a winner of his last 2 starts and making his stakes debut.
How Do I Win went to the lead first time past the stands and he set fractions of 23.71, 48.04, and 1:12.71 over the fast track while pressed by Hakama to his outside and Alpha another length behind in third. Entering the stretch, Alpha quickly surged to the front, opening up a 4 length lead on the tiring How Do I Win. Speightscity, 4th early, closed late to pass tiring horses but was no match for Alpha who cruised past the post 3 1/4 lengths ahead in 1:44.23. It was another 1 3/4 lengths back to late-running Tiger Walk third.

The saga of the "West Memphis Three" reaches a thrilling, if somewhat anticlimactic, conclusion in "West of Memphis," a documentary financed by Peter ("Lord of the Rings") Jackson and directed by Amy Berg.
Berg, who directed the damning Catholic priests and child abuse documentary "Deliver Us from Evil," pulls together a riveting story built on one of the most notorious murder cases of recent history.
In 1993, three very young boys were murdered and dumped in a ditch in West Memphis, Ark. The West Memphis Three, socially outcast teenagers, were caught, tried and convicted and spent nearly two decades in prison despite rampant evidence of medical examiner incompetence and police and prosecutorial misconduct.
The case was kept alive and in the public eye largely on the strength of a trio of documentaries by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. Their "Paradise Lost" films inspired ongoing media interest in a case that seemed both sensational — allegations of ritual sexual abuse and Satanic/ occult murder — and closed thanks to "the finality of judgment."
One of the teens confessed. Witnesses came forward alleging one of the boys, aptly named Damien, was into the occult. The state of the bodies seemed so awful that only devil worshippers could be responsible, or so the theory went.
"We've got a story that is very, very believable," one interview subject recalls hearing. "So believable, it's almost perfect."
That story, manipulated by the local police and trumpeted by an ambitious prosecutor, is the one lead they pursued. It worked and won convictions.
Berg, working with a private investigator Jackson and longtime companion Fran Walsh hired, interviewing a retired FBI profiler Jackson & co. put on the payroll, and interviewing the victims' families (who were, the closing credits tell us, compensated for the interviews), weaves this tortured tale into a compelling narrative that has twists and turns, blind alleys and lots of interviews with Damien Echols in his jail cell.

Wow...I've never seen that before from him. He should have thought about that during the game when he was calling runs on 1st and 2nd consistently despite the fact that Edge couldn't get any yards. He could have thrown and taken time off the clock, and he could have scored more points throwing it. Overall, it was he and his offensive coordinators who lost that game so he should be mad. The players didn't lose it (except maybe the OL in run blocking) because they couldn't do a thing.
No way, PS. Their running game was effective when they were also throwing the ball. When they went into their shell and ran it every 1st and 2nd down they weren't giving Edge a chance to run the ball. They weren't giving themselves a chance to win the game either. If you were to go back and watch the game again you could see it. Every 1st and 2nd down was a run. When you do that, and you refuse to pass on those downs then you are setting your team up for failure. When they mixed it up even a little bit they were winning the game. You may be right at the end of the game inside of 4 minutes where you want to run the clock out, but they started this crap before the half.

Protein Power Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
As you may have noticed, more and more diet plans and programs continue to emerge. This is essentially because more and more people are trying their best to lose weight. It seems that different approaches work better for different individuals. In this review, we are going to look more closely at one approach known as the Protein Power Diet. Clearly protein has become a core focus over the last decade or so. This is an essential nutrient most people get from foods like meat, cheese, beans, milk, eggs, and nuts. It is a very important nutrient for the maintenance of muscles and vital organs, and it is commonly used by bodybuilders to gain lean mass.
List of Ingredients

Product Features
The Protein Power Diet is one that places a focus on protein consumption. More specifically, dieters consume high levels of protein, and very minimal carbohydrates. The purpose of this is to encourage lean muscle mass, and discourage fat storage. After all, carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates, break down into sugar or glucose, and then get stored in the body as fat, if they are not burned off as energy. Some common simple carbohydrate foods are white breads, pasta, candy, pastries, cookies, biscuits, and sugary beverages. By cutting out these carbs, you can potentially lose excess body fat.
There are some different approaches to the Protein Power Diet. Just so you know, some of the high-protein foods you can eat on this diet plan are beef, chicken, bacon, steak, fish, legumes, nuts, beans, milk, pork, turkey, and beans. Tofu and soy products are also typically okay to consume. The Protein Power Diet is generally not ideal for vegetarians, unless they intend to only consume tofu, beans, legumes, and nuts. As you eat high-protein foods, your body will potentially store less fat from sugary carbs. Whether or not you incorporate exercise into this diet plan is up to you.
- By cutting out simple carbs, you reduce your chances of type two diabetes.
- This type of diet gives you ample protein for lean muscles.
- Eating a lot of meat may raise your blood pressure.
- Many meat and dairy products are high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
- The Protein Power Diet may lead to weight gain through bad fats from meat.
- If you cut out complex carbs, you will be cutting out fiber and whole grains.
The Protein Power Diet has been around for quite some time now. It tends to be altered now and again by different "experts." One thing you should definitely keep in mind regarding this diet plan is the high levels of saturated fat and bad cholesterol found in meat products like beef and pork. In other words, the Protein Power Diet can lead to clogged arteries, if too much fatty meat is consumed.

If you're a pro wrestling fan and you express as much somewhere on the Internet, you are a part of what's known as the "Internet Wrestling Community". You didn't choose it, I know, but somehow it's just the case. Apparently, this community has a hive mind and none of you can think for yourselves, either. Anyone who speaks of you, even if they do so on the Internet, speaks of you in absolute terms and refuses to allow any diversity in thought or opinion.
So it's no surprise, really, that recently released TNA wrestler Jay Bradley is painting the "IWC" in broad strokes when speaking to BetweenTheRopes.com on Dixie Carter getting such a bad rap from fans:
"Unfortunately, I think she has become the Internet Wrestling Communities (sic) scapegoat for anything that goes wrong. How that happened, I really don't know. As far as the internet wrestling fans that are diehard in general, they are some of the most passionate people out there next to like fantasy football guys and NASCAR fans. The unfortunate thing is you do something positive, they'll give you an inch of praise. You do something slightly negative they don't like, their (sic) going to give you a mile of hate. Sometimes I don't want to say less is more, but they always can't sit back and enjoy a lot of times, they are hypercritical about things. I do think she (Carter) gets a bad rap."
I don't know how this happened or when or why but fans of wrestling are not able to express an opinion about the industry anywhere online lest they be shoehorned into this so-called "community" that has an even worse reputation than Carter.
Frankly, it's bullshit.
There are fans of every industry all over the Internet but you don't see those fans getting widely typecast as part of some community of awful people who are impossible to please. Well, that happens sometimes, but it's nonsense either which way.
Maybe, just maybe, Carter's track record sucks and fans who talk about that online are righteous in their criticism. Perhaps those fans badly want to support TNA but have a really hard time because of the many ridiculously dumb decisions Carter has made.
An inch of praise? Go see what fans were saying about Daniel Bryan's turn on Bray Wyatt at Monday Night Raw. He was being compared to the greatest of all time and those same fans were overlooking some incredibly short-sighted booking to give props where they were due.
Actually, some weren't. Some were still upset about the way the story was told. And that right there tells you everything you need to know. Some enjoyed it, some didn't. It wouldn't be fair to simply say the "community" felt one way or another because you steal the individual's voice when you do that.
So let's stop that shit, please.

Roads to be 'intolerable', say rail freight campaigners (From Borehamwood Times)

Roads to be 'intolerable' after Park Street terminal built, say Elstree and Borehamwood Greenbelt Society
Updated 11:28am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By Anna Slater, Chief Reporter
Drivers will be faced with "mammoth" traffic jams when a new freight terminal is built near Radlett, according to campaigners.
Despite being six miles from the Park Street terminal, the Elstree Greenbelt Society said it will have a "dramatic effect" on cars passing through Borehamwood.
Under the plans, by developer HelioSlough, five big warehouses and a railway line will be built near Park Street.
But campaigners say this will cause a 20 per cent rise in traffic in St Albans, Radlett and Borehamwood – with around 1500 heavy good drivers using the local roads.
Ann Goddard, of Deacons Hill Road, Elstree, called the plans "crazy" and said both areas would be blighted by noise, light and "lung destroying diesel fumes".
The 79-year-old said: "The traffic tailbacks here are bad enough as it is, but this will make it so much worse. These plans threaten day-long gridlock and mammoth traffic jams on Watling Street.
"The new terminal will be generally awful and unpleasant for anyone in the area. It is wrongly situated.
"A beautiful patch of land will be lost forever."
Under the plans, a new bridge linking the terminal and the M25 will be built – as well as work on a new roundabout on the A414 to accommodate the extra traffic flow.
But Mrs Goddard, who has six grandchildren, said the new roads would "render life intolerable" for anyone in the area.
Society member Pat Strack – who is also the Mayor of Borehamwood – said: "I am worried because there are so many changes to be made to the rail network.
"The overheard bridges are not big enough and some are not on the right side – so trains will have to go to Cricklewood to do a loop and come to Park Street again.
"This is an ill-conceived idea and has been forced through by a political ideologue without considering the people who are going to be affected by it the most." "
"There is enough congestion on the trains as it is, this will make it so much worse."
Another society member, Ken Herbert, was left feeling riled after Eric Pickles gave the plans the green light in December – without holding an inquiry as originally promised.
The 68-year-old Theobold Street resident, said: "The freight wagons will not be able to pass through the tunnels on the railway line. The whole thing is a complete shambles.
"We do not need a freight terminal here as we do not have high levels of unemployment – so people will be driving in from elsewhere making the roads impossible."

When in full operation only 24 trains a day will use the site (12 in and 12 out). Freight trains already use the midland line so no tunnel upgrading is required.
With the major share of terminal generated traffic leaving via a link to the A414 there will be no local HGV traffic. The plans even state that HGV's will be barred from using the A5183 AND Harper Lane.
As for the terminal looking unsightly, you can't see it from the surrounding roads network. And finally, included in the plans are provision of a ParkStreet/Frogmore by-pass which will REDUCE local traffic and make journey times shorter for local people.

Getting a Mac for Gaming
Currently running around with the macbook air on my back, but I've been counting the days down.Since making it my primary computing house, it was inevitable gaming was to be tested. Once I tried civilisation 5 and Call of Duty, it was clear to see my hopes were mis-placed.
Looking at the specifications I've considered two viable options, base 27-inch iMac or otherwise replace my macbook air, the lighter-than-a-book machine I've called home for two years, with a base-model 15-inch macbook pro retina?
Verge-ians I need your advice! Gracias :)

Kudos to the Bulls for winning their last 3 games to secure them a spot for the playoffs and set a date with the clevelend cavaliers. Whatever happens in that series doesn't really matter as long as they made it in the playoffs. We all know that the goal for this season is to try to make an impression for the FAs this summer, right?.
There are two most important things that the organization must address come off-season. First, to sign a big time free agent from the likes of JAMES (very less likely), WADE (less likely), and BOSH (likely). Secondly, is to get a quality coach. There are a lot of quality coach out there like JVG, Byron, Avery, etc. And this this the topic i want to bring up. As i browsed over yahoosports, i noticed an article about Doc rivers. Here is the link:
Doc Rivers is weighing his options for next season. He cited there family reasons, mainly because of his 2 two sons being a senior and his daughter, blah blah. I'm a bit skeptical about this one though. I guess Doc has sensed that the Celtics time is over after this season. Garnett is aging, Pierce and Ray are going to be free agents if I'm not mistaken. He doesn't want to go into rebuilding once again.
Therefore, what do you think of Doc Rivers as our next coach, if he does leave. I think he would consider coaching this Bulls team. He would be a great fit with this team because he is a defensive-minded coach and that's Bulls priority, right?
So share some thoughts on this or who do you think will be a better fit for this team.

BOSTON - Red Hat Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Matthew Szulik had the air of a motivational speaker Monday evening, citing his company's improving finances and growing user base as evidence of a sea change in the IT industry and promising more Red Hat jobs for beleaguered Massachusetts workers.
Tall and clean-cut, Szulik exhorted a mixed audience of IT industry veterans and fresh-faced college students to commit themselves to a coming struggle between proprietary and non-proprietary operating systems that will "change the world". But he also quietly conceded that Red Hat faces tough competition in the open source market from Novell Inc. and is years away from displacing Microsoft Corp.'s Windows on the desktop.
Szulik was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the tail end of a three-week "World Tour" to promote the company's products, services and plans for the future. The tour was cosponsored by Hewlett-Packard Co. and IBM Corp. and included stops in Tokyo, Brisbane, Australia, Sydney, Munich and London.
Speaking just blocks from the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Szulik said that open source companies such as Red Hat had to recruit the "best minds" to supplant an economic model based on proprietary software with one based on an open source development.
"Our challenge is not to build the infrastructure, but to find the talent to change the world and compete against the best in the world," he said.
Red Hat plans to focus its investment in parts of the country, such as Massachusetts and Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, where high tech companies have easy access to talent from local universities and can partner with higher education and state government, Szulik said.
Noting Red Hat's healthy corporate balance sheet and Massachusetts' enthusiasm about using open source software in state government, Szulik said Red Hat is hiring and plans to increase the number of employees at its local engineering and research and development center in Westford.
While optimistic about the future of open source software, Red Hat's CEO also acknowledged that the company will face stiff competition from competitors, including Novell, which purchased rival SuSE Linux AG in November, 2003.
"They're a new competitor, absolutely," Szulik said about the combined companies, adding that competition was good for the Linux community and for customers. However, Szulik cast doubt on Novell's ability to make the open source model profitable in the long term.
"The issue is one of different economic models. ... With Red Hat you have a company that has been working in the open source world for 11 years and providing service to our customers. Compare that to a company that has been selling proprietary software for 20 years, but is now calling itself an open source company. The question is, 'Can they transfer to that model?'," he said.
Red Hat's CEO put a similarly sunny face on lawsuit brought by The SCO Group Inc., saying that it benefitted Linux customers, who now enjoy legal indemnity for use of Linux from Red Hat, Novell and others that wasn't available before the suit.

Politics drive attack on Holder
- Written by Charles D. Ellison
- Published in News Headlines
With Election Day fast approaching, many long-time political observers smell something fishy in the air: House Republicans eagerly scheduled a Congressional contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder last week. The big question: Is the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee contempt vote, led by Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., really about Holder's role in the botched gun-tracking program infamously known as "Fast and Furious?"
Or, is it really an ugly Republican power play based on Holder's potential role in radically altering (or repairing) the political landscape in November 2012?
Could the contempt vote be a screen for more nefarious motives? Not unnoticed by some observers is the alignment of the contempt vote against the backdrop of the Justice Department's lawsuit against Florida Gov. Rick Scott, the unpopular Republican governor who recently sparked outrage and condemnation when he pursued an aggressive voter roll purging program that many said targets minorities. Others are worried that the move could turn into Gore v. Bush déjà vu if Scott isn't stopped.
And beyond Florida is a growing list of battleground states with pockets of voters who would vote for incumbent President Obama on November 6 — if they can first navigate the muddied waters of new voter ID laws and, now, voter roll purging.
"This is Republicans actively trying to keep Holder from doing his job on voter suppression tactics in swing states," said one senior Democratic aide, speaking off record.
Observers have been bracing for dirty political tactics since the primaries. And the evidence could be in the convenience of the timing, as tempers flared last week over Holder's fate. The Committee has probed the program for some time, with Issa and other Republicans on the Committee pressing the Attorney General during testy hearing exchanges over exactly what happened in Fast and Furious. Started in 2006 under the Bush Administration as Project Gunrunner, Fast and Furious was a bold attempt by the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to somehow track illegal weapons sales and distribution to Mexican drug cartels from the United States. The ATF, eager to catch illegal arms dealers and their cartel connections, pursued a plan whereby law enforcement would turn a blind eye to the sales in hopes they'd arrest criminals in the transfer.
What ended up happening, however, was a failed "gunwalking" program in which out of 2,000 firearms sold, only 700 were uncovered. Issa pressed Holder for a year for discovery documents.
After months of hearings, heated exchanges and ceaseless posturing, the chair decided to hold a contempt vote against Holder, claiming in a statement that "Congress has an obligation to investigate unanswered questions about attempts to smear whistleblowers, failures by Justice Department officials to be truthful and candid with the congressional investigation, and the reasons for the significant delay in acknowledging reckless conduct in Operation Fast and Furious."
The ranking Democrat on the Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., was unleashed on Issa, firing back and calling the contempt vote an "extreme and blatant abuse of the Congressional contempt power that undermines the credibility of the Committee."
But, it's the timing of what appears to be a dug-in and concerted effort to force Holder out that is breeding some skepticism amongst readers of the electoral tea leaves. While Republicans on Capitol Hill are preoccupied with Fast and Furious and abortion votes, there is growing concern over the wave of voter ID laws being passed throughout the country, a movement primarily led by Republican state legislatures and Governors. Critics of the laws say it's a GOP attempt to rig the voting game, since the laws seem to unfairly target minority voters, seniors, young voters and others that would lean Democratic in an election year.
Even more suspect is that the states that have passed the strictest or the most draconian voter ID laws all have Republican Governors and are led by GOP legislatures. From Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Mississippi to Florida, Georgia, Indiana and Kansas, there has been an uptick in voter ID laws since after the 2008 election.
This election year finds the Justice Department exceptionally busy as it struggles to enforce federal voting rights law in what is turning into a clash of institutional, party and political heavyweights over the electoral outcome on November 6. Holder's DOJ, after mounting criticism from civil rights leaders and the Congressional Black Caucus for not doing enough, finally filed a complaint against Florida.
It could get even busier as reports cite voter purging in other states that's making Florida look like child's play. Congressional Black Caucus members claim a combined loss of 2.5 million voters from the rolls in Texas and Ohio. After scanning through official documents from all Ohio county Boards of Elections, the Columbus-based Free Press recently discovered over 1 million voters purged from the rolls, with very urban Cuyahoga County, housing Cleveland and a large African-American population, leading with nearly 268,000 purges.
Hence, Holder could be the key to stopping the suppression tactics, particularly in key swing states where the outcome of the election could hinge on a few votes. But, enforcing voting rights laws could get even trickier and more taxing if the Justice Department finds itself under siege from contempt votes, subpoenas and pressure from the conservative blogosphere for Holder to resign. As it stands, the DOJ has only been able to respond to 11 out of "18,000 requests under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act," according to Holder.
In the meantime, it could all come down to an eleventh hour deal, as Holder acquiesced later in the week, offering to release documents related to Fast and Furious. "The Department's willingness to provide these materials is a serious, good faith effort to bring this matter to an amicable resolution," Holder wrote in a recent letter to Issa, extending an olive branch in the dispute. "However, I continue to believe that a meeting is required both to assure that there are no misunderstandings about this matter, and to confirm that the elements of the proposal we are making will be deemed sufficient to render the process of contempt unnecessary. I seek your direct engagement for precisely that reason."

Inspiration is Still Free
October 7, 2009 at 3:58 pm , by cdewet
Sometimes when strolling out and about in fabulous New York City I pass a beautiful home store and think, Why even bother going in, those lovely things are probably waaaay too fancy for me. My mind instantly flashes back to the scene in "Pretty Woman" where the saleswomen shun poor scantily clad Julia Roberts for even attempting to peruse their fine merchandise. I cautiously glance at the beautiful window displays as I pass by, as if some expensive item might jump into my hand if I don't move quickly. I don't give it much thought after that, and continue on toward more familiar territory. Well, guess what I did last weekend? I shrugged off my inhibitions and went into an adorable design store, A&G Merch, in Brooklyn—and you know what, it was a fantastic experience. Okay, so there were a few things out of my price range, but what I found most enjoyable were all of the creative displays! My mind couldn't help but think about how I could incorporate some of their funky design ideas into my own apartment and the inspiration was undeniable. I started to wonder about other shops that I had walked by in the past and what muse-like displays I had unknowingly deprived myself of.
Inspiration is free, and perhaps more important than ever during these trying economic times. Window shopping is great fun when you walk away with a brain full of new ideas. Okay, friends, your assignment is simple—the next time you pass a store that strikes your fancy, even if you think it might be too fancy for your wallet, go in! You never know what you might find. Oh, and a nice shade of lipstick can definitely help… See Erica's entry on red lips!

ALBUM REVIEW: Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
I feel that there's something pointless in actually writing this review. The already controversial perfect 10.0 score on Pitchfork, seems to have taken the limelight of review what is admittedly a masterpiece. I've waited until release to form an opinion, I even avoided the leaks because I felt, in some way, required to purchase this album. But perfect? At the end of the day, it's only an opinion, yet, to be rated so high and with such esteem, by any media outlet, is commendable. Does it set the bar high? Yes. Does it fairly establish how good this album is? Well, yes and no.
It is amazing. I can't doubt that is probably Kanye's best album. As a collected work, as a single entity, it's definitely the best thing he's ever made. I don't say that lightly, as both College Dropout and Late Registration are fucking fantastic albums, hell, even Graduation had moments of pure brilliance. But, in all honesty, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has a cohesive quality, one that establishes as not just a great album of hip-hop or popular music, but one of the greatest, you guess it, of all time.
It's not perfect though. It's highly listenable, indeed, but some songs, like "All of the Lights" for example, seem dragged down not only by the inexplicable amount of genuine star-power, but also the song's length. For some reason, 5 minutes just seems a little long. Plus, I'm bored of Rihanna's voice. Nothing personal, it just annoys me. Throughout the album, song running times are incredibly long, yeah, I know that I'm being kind of picky, but do you not get the sense that sometimes these long songs are just to let Kanye show off who he hangs with? The guest spots, however great, are incredibly numerous and maybe, in some way, this distracts from the main man himself.
Don't get me wrong, I love this album, even from the opening "Dark Fantasy" and "Gorgeous" featuring Kid Cudi and Raekwon, I felt hooked. There's something about the running order and the songs that compels you to listen to this as a whole. Songs previously shown off like "Power" and "Monster" are as good as ever, probably benefitting more from that final record-ready glistening. I think that "Runaway", even at an exceptional 9 minutes, and "Devil In a New Dress" are two more examples of Kanye at it's peak. The latter's soulful sampling, juxtaposed against Ye's blunt raps make for intense listening. Whereas "Runaway" in fact fits it's titular role, with his brilliantly arty video that showcased the song as well as being the leading single, making me think that it will probably be the most remembered of all songs on the album.
Also, for every great song like "So Appalled" on an album like this, there is bound to be one bad song, for example, "Hell Of A Life", a song which I couldn't help but feel was lost amongst a crowd of others, it seemed almost isolated. Not through any fault of it's own, it just seemed to be overshadowed in my view but only because there are no featured stars or focus on guests. Not that this is a bad thing, as the focus on and almost innumerable list of featuring artists, as mentioned, kind of becomes a little boring. I definitely think we would be facing a totally different album if Kanye had focused on and made an insular effort. But, I don't think I would enjoy it as much any other way.
It's the album finisher, "Lost In The World", that is probably, actually definitely, the crowning moment of the album, Kanye's last hurrah on this epic, a song that still to this day makes me feel powerful, makes me feel uplifted, even if that is beside the point of the lyrics, I mean, the word "Lost" in itself is pretty negative. It's a brilliant way to close off the album, admittedly I do feel cheated that Yeezy made the "Who will survive in America?" refrain into a separate song, instead of what I imagined, by looking at the tracklisting, to be an extension of that sample. And by using Bon Iver's bare "Woods" as the base for the song, whilst simultaneously producing the kind of beat that the song always needed, Kanye again proves that he is fucking brilliant.
I don't doubt how good this album is, just it's 'perfect' score is unsettling. You should, without fail, check it out. It is, as others have described it, an instant-classic. What you waiting for? Go get it.

Cool. I agree with many of the things you said. Lots was too long. Half of the tracks I found to be good, the other half just average.
However, I appreciate and it makes it a better album, Kanye's experiment. I do not believe I have ever heard such a forward thinking mainstream artist push the boundaries so far. For that he deserves the attention. So I guess because of this, I would say a very good album. Not making my top 10 though
Yeah man, I see what you mean, it is great though, though I'm thinking it will probably creep into the Top Ten list for me, I've been listening on repeat. He's created the pinnacle of his career, even with all the hyperbole attached to it, it's still a brilliant album, an instant classic.
[...] Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy What I wrote in the original review:"…Kanye again proves that he is fucking [...]
I dont agree with you guys. And strangely enough, i actually like "All of the lights". I am a fan of Kanye's work: Late registration is such an amazing album, i had that thing on repeat for so long, and heard that this album was mindblowing.
…Not even close, to my ears. I think it's reasonably dull at first listen. I don't think the creativity levels are at their highest. As a guitarist, i don't get very excited about guitar-effects on the vocals and such, such as 'fuzz' and 'octave-shift'. Most of all, i don't like the flow of the lyrics, nor am i very excited about the lyrics themselves. The bit i like the most is probably Jay-Z's little part in 'So appalled".
Having said all this, we all enjoy different things, like how some people like pumkin and others dont. But for conversations sake, and to stick up for the songs that weren't liked, I thought i'd say my bit,
..just did.
fair enough, everyone's entitled to an opinion

Just add a classic chef hat and any cooking props you can think of, and you are ready to go! Next year, add a hint of horror and transform this coat into a scary Halloween costume. Splash on some fake blood and special effects gore (make sure they are washable first). Include a horrifying butchers knife oozing with red, or any other instrument of cooking and death! If you prefer, use the chefs coat to create your favorite funny chef persona, complete with rubber chickens and tomatoes. The possibilities are endless!

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A teen boy is facing animal cruelty charges after a witness claimed he
punched a kitten and left it for dead in a pile of leaves.
The Horry County Police report states that crime was reported by
witnesses on Sunday, August 4 in the Myrtle Beach area. Two people told police
they saw a 13-year-old boy kill a kitten. They heard it screaming, then saw the
teen grab the kitten and shove it in the mother cat's face.
The report states the witnesses saw the mother cat attempt to
attack the teen boy, but the boy poked the cat with a shovel.
That's when he hit the kitten in the face with a closed fist
"until it stopped moving." The witnesses claim the teen tried to bury
the kitten as if he knew he had killed the feline.
"He beat it to death and then tried to bury it and just came
inside like nothing happened," the witness told WMBF News, "out of nowhere he
just started choking it and hitting it with a shovel and he tried to bury it
and he couldn't so he threw it under a pile of leaves and went inside and
served himself some cake and started laughing with his sister telling her what
the animal did before it died."
He was unable to dig a hole big enough with his shovel, so the
teen threw the kitten into a large leaf pile, the report states, and that's
where responding officers found the deceased animal.
"He[the police officer] asked him[the suspect] how he killed
him and if he felt bad about it and he just moved his shoulders to say no
whatever not really," the witness said.
The witnesses recorded the boy's actions on a cell phone. After
the boy's mother arrived, police gave the boy a summons for animal cruelty and
released him into her custody because of his age.
Horry County Police said the teen will go in front of a juvenile
judge for his animal cruelty charge.

Superstar and Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan is at the top of his game, and yet this new album proves he has no limits. Bryan's latest album, by far his best yet, builds on the success of his previous releases and proves that his rich musical mine has only begun to be tapped.
First single and title cut
Crash My Party, a multi-week No. 1 single (another first for Luke's career), is full of playful longing.
It's a great hook and a great way to say, , says Luke. The single has now sold a million copies since its release.

FOXBOROUGH — Earlier in the week, former Jets running back LaDanian Tomlinson disclosed that coach Rex Ryan once told his team that he was going to punch Bill Belichick in the face before a 2010 game. It was a lighthearted motivational ploy by Ryan, Tomlinson said, meant to fire up his players.
"We were playing the Patriots one time . . . Rex is a master motivator, and it was going to be a big game, a heated rivalry game," Tomlinson said. "Rex got in front of us and he said, 'I'm going to set the tempo today. When I meet Bill Belichick in the center of the field, I'm going to start it off and punch him in the face.' "

... and nearly as many bolts! We were hoping that this would be the face that launched all those ships -- it's not -- but I couldn't resist the name. This 2 pitch route takes a line left of Loosey In The Sky, tackling the left side of the Loosey slab (P3) and then finishing with a pitch on a stepped arete to the top of The Halidome. There is an additional, short & sweet "bonus" pitch described below.
Left of P3 of Loosey In The Sky.
About 17 quick draws + anchors. Small cams necessary for P2 of Loosey (see description). 70m rope recommended, but a 60m will work.

Things just didn't go Turkey's way in the first leg of their Euro 2012 playoff as they were demolished 3-0 at home by a rampant Croatia. The scoreline means that Guus Hiddink's side is almost certainly not going to make it through to the finals, and they don't have anyone to blame but themselves - specifically the defence and Fenerbache goalkeeper Volkan Demirel, who contrived to shoot themselves in each foot and then once in the arm for good measure.
Within two minutes of kickoff, Croatia had the lead, with Vedran Corluka skipping free down the left and sending in a dangerous-looking low cross that Demirel should have dealt with. Instead, the veteran merely pushed the ball to Ivica Olic, who lashed home from three yards for the opener. Turkey threw everything but the kitchen sink at Croatia to try to equalise, but despite monopolising possession hardly made a dent in the visitors' defence - and it became abundantly clear that their own was fairly fragile when Croatia put together a rare attack and scored their second.
A bouncing ball into the box wasn't cleared, Luka Modric was able to ferry the ball wide to Darijo Srna, and the Shakhtar Donetsk right back cross for Mario Mandzukic at the back post. It wasn't a particularly difficult ball to clear, but the defence made a hash of it, Demirel refused to collect and the Croatians had their second. From then on it was all the visitors could do not to score every three or four minutes, the hosts crumbling under the weight of the two-goal deficit.
Olic nearly made it three on the verge of halftime, but Corluka completed the job after the defence left the Tottenham Hotspur man unmarked in the centre of the six-yard box for reasons I can't entirely fathom. After that, Turkey had their two best chances of the match, and neither of them even resulted in a shot. That's generally a pretty good indication that you've had a baaad day at the office. So is losing 3-0 at home (and there were plenty of chances to make it four).
So, at the end of all that, there's very little point in watching the second leg in Zagreb, because Croatia are almost certainly through. Slaven Bilic is a happy man, while Hiddink will be unemployed next week. Them's the breaks.

Trade Liberalisation, Efficiency and South Africa's Sugar Industry
AbstractThis paper reports the results of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis of the South African sugar industry. The study was inspired by analyses of the EU South Africa Free Trade Agreement that indicated the importance of sugar exports to the welfare gains from agricultural trade liberalisation and by the increasing pressure upon OECD countries to reform their sugar (trade) policies. In addition to the effects of trade liberalisation this study also considers the implications of increases in the efficiency with which sugarcane is converted to raw sugar, which is an important determinant of the competitiveness of sugar production and exports. The results indicate that there would be substantial welfare gains across all household groups and that overall agricultural producers in South Africa should benefit; however there are substantial variations in the impact upon agricultural producers in different provinces, with farmers in some provinces facing reductions in the profitability of farming.

System Requirements
From DoKSwiki
- There are no specific system or server requirements to install the DoKS software.
- In our case the software is installed on a P4, 2.4 GHz with 1024 MB RAM and it works very well.
- On one location DoKS is running on a P3, 1 GHz with only 128 MB RAM. It works well enough, but it's not fast or comfortable to work with.
- The more RAM is in your server, the better it will work. It is important however to make sure there is enough space on your hard disk to be able to collect and store data for a couple of years. The average file size of last year's theses is about 3,7 MB. The software itself is zipped about 16MB.
- The software is built with open source java frameworks, which makes it possible for us to offer this software for free download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/doksproject.
- The choice of platform is completely free as long as it runs Java (Windows and Unix are possible). Packages that have to be installed are Java, a DBMS, Ant and Tomcat. The software is database-independant because we work with Hibernate. The Complete installation Manual explains the use of a MySQL database but also possible are Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL,....
- The installation is done by someone who is used to working with the operating system and database, someone who is used to deal with software installations and configurations. Most network administrators will fit this profile. You can find the Complete installation Manual on this wiki.

NEW YORK -- Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez was scratched from Monday night's start against Florida and placed on the disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder.
Hernandez was replaced by Chan Ho Park, who was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans.
El Duque, 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in five starts, told the Mets on Sunday in Washington that he felt pain in the shoulder and was sent to New York to see a doctor.
Park was 3-1 with a 7.29 ERA in four starts with the Zephyrs, allowing 26 hits in 21 innings -- including six homers. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2854120
