Lou Holtz has a bit of everything these days.
He has his national championship from Notre Dame. He's on television every week as an ESPN analyst. He's being inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame next year.
And speaking of Hall of Fames, turns out Lou has his own.
The Upper Ohio Hall of Fame is actually named after Holtz, who grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio and met his wife there.
Holtz showed up at the induction ceremonies -- and really, he should considering the Hall has his name on it -- to help enshrine the newest honorees including former Irish running back Jerome Bettis.
Among the other things given out -- the "Lou Holtz Life Improvement Scholarship Award."
One day, we hope to see this Hall of Fame, as we get the feeling East Liverpool is some sort of Lou Holtz Disneyland, complete with Gamecocks bumper cars, a Notre Dame water slide, the William & Mary kissing booth, an Arkansas pig roast and the Haunted House of Professional Football, sponsored by the New York Jets.

Until recently, little did I know that we have a Malaysian company which is in the business of supplying such tags. Calling itself Malaysia Military Tag (MMT), the company specializes in making customized identification tags. Other than the macho military style tags, there are also ultra durable paracord bracelets, emergency bracelets, keychains and personalized windscreen stickers. Because these folks are local, the prices are all lower making it very accessible to everyone.
Ordering is as simple as heading on to their website, select your material, size and color preferences, enter the texts you want embossed (MMT say this makes it more durable than engraving) and upload your personalized image.
MMT is not a new company. In fact, they've supplied large quantities to corporations and individuals, and from the reviews, providing good and responsive service shouldn't be an issue.
For more about the Single Standard Military Tag, head on to the product page [link] Street price: Rm25.00
For more about the Single Logo Identification Tag, head on to the product page [link] Street price: RM29.00
The good people in Malaysia Military Tag have sponsored 3 Single Standard Military tags and 2 Single Logo Identification tags for this blog's giveaway. The raffle opens Nov 13th 2014 12am (Malaysian time) and ends Nov 16th 12am (Malaysian time). As always, the draw will be randomly determined via Rafflecopter. Here's how the it works:

Like a bolt (ooops!) out of the sky, the soon-to-be-in-stores Skechers GOrun Ride 3 Bolt (GRR3 Bolt/Bolt) landed on my laps quite suddenly last Friday. Because it was so totally unexpected, I braved the Friday+Downpour+5pm-KL-Traffic phenomenon to fight my way to the Skechers office after work.
Let's get on with some of the nuts and bolts (ooops again!) of, ummm, the Bolt.
You wouldn't be wrong if you dismiss the Bolt, just by looking at the photos, that this is another example of a wolf in a sheep's clothing. After all everything other than the eye-catching upper's the same as the GRR3 [my review of the GRR3 here].
But then, there's the knitted fabric upper. As it is, the upper found on the GRR3 is already well made, as with most of the Performance series'. FitKnit isn't unlike other knitted upper that's marketed by other sports companies and I've worn several of those (and liked them a lot too). It's basically iterations of stitching technology that see a tighter weave around the stress-zones, for example, the toebox, heel counter and flex areas. The result is a single piece seamless upper that has good breathability.
In terms of weight, the GRR3 (with sockliner) sits between the Bolt with and without the sockliner. Even at its heaviest 8.9oz for US10, the Bolt is featherweight compared to Zoom Elite 7, Pegasus 31 and even lighter than the Boston Boost 5 (review coming up).
If you've not worn any shoes with a knitted upper before, you'd be interested to know that there are subtle differences to the wear experience. Due to the absence of overlays, you'll discover a little bit more real estate in the toebox. Indeed, my US10 felt roomier than usual. My first run in the Bolt was a hilly 12.5K. I didn't lace up as tightly as I normally do when I race. While my feet didn't slide to and fro even when I hit the downhills, there was a slight sideway movement in the forefoot region. There wasn't any blisters though, and there was room to lock down the lacing further. No real issues but I just thought it's something worth mentioning to guide you when trying the Bolt out.
Interestingly, as opposed to other brands' knitted uppers, Skechers FitKnit retains the stretch properties used in the mesh models like the GRR3. There's not a stitch on the Bolt that adds to a stiff wear experience, even where the knit are most dense.
Coming into the scene late in the adoption of knitted uppers, Skechers GOrun Ride 3 Bolt expands the brand's tradition of great uppers with FitKnit. The result is an all-round improved package for the runner in the tradition of the GRR3. Those looking for a lightweight cushioned trainer suitable for up to the marathon distance should check them out. They've the looks to go with jeans and will make an excellent and versatile shoe. Wherever I travel to, I've always packed an extra pair of running shoes for my exploratory runs. With the Bolt, it will serve as a 2-in-1, suitable for sightseeing and putting in the mileage while traveling.
The Bolt will hit the local stores from this weekend and will retail for RM419 (men) and RM399 (women).
Disclosure: The Skechers GOrun Ride 3 Bolt is a media sample provided by Skechers Malaysia. I've only put in approximately 20K in them but the ride is similar to the GRR3.
This is the final part of my take on the Samsung duo of Galaxy S5 and Gear Fit. If you're interested to find out more about my usage of the devices, follow the links below:
First impressions| HRM, Distance Tracking and Coaching Functions
So after more than 2 weeks, what's my take on the S5+GF combo? As mentioned in my earlier posts, I don't bring along my phone when I go out running, so my time was mostly spent with the GF. Since I'm not an Android user, I stay away from delving too much into the interface. Where menus and UI are covered, it was done from the angle of usability rather than technical aspect. With that out of the way, let's get things going.
What I like:
Could be better:
There you have it, a runner's take on the GF. It's Samsung's first real dip into the lifestyle tracking segment and a decent entry at that. It's the glaring misses, no doubt, include the lack of integration with online communities or for that matter with other exercise apps on the phone such as Endomondo, Runkeeper or MapMyRun. Having said that, there are a many fitness enthusiasts out there who run with their smartphones and who aren't anal about tracking their exact mileage nor need perfection in their measurements. These group may find the GF a logical accessory to their Samsung smartphones. The competition in this segment is stiff, both in pricing and features. The S5 is currently going for RM1,999 (16GB LTE model) and Gear Fit RM599. Unfortunately there are no bundled pricing.
Disclaimer: The Galaxy S5 and Gear Fit were media review units courtesy of Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) Sdn. Bhd. No payments nor complimentary devices were given in exchange for this series of postings.
Note: I posted my first impression of the Samsung Gear Fit and Galaxy S5 here, so that could be your starting point.
I've since spent a week with the duo and gotten more at home using either gadget. The GF pretty much stayed on my wrist throughout the day, silently recording my steps, exercises and sleep. The function I use most often is the Heart Rate (HR) sensor as well as the Pedometer. The rest, not so much other than poking around. Prior to this head-to-head test, I wasn't too impressed by the HR readings of the GF. The readings ranged from low to mid-50s (waking up), 70s (middle of the day), stressful meeting with the boss (70s) and while working at the desk (60s). Since the only time I ever monitor my HR is when I run, I found these readings strangely low. There's only one way to find out – a throw down! In the mix, the Garmin 620.
I strapped on the Garmin HRM chest strap, stood in place and started the watch and GF. The following photos show the recording. Photo was taken by a bemused colleague.
Being a geek, it's an anomaly that until last weekend, I've not owned nor had the opportunity to use any Android devices. So it was an opportunity not to pass up when a chance to get to know two of the latest offerings from Samsung came along. Although I've worn the Nike Sportband some years ago (review page), living and sleeping with not only one but two devices. Talk about two-timing!
The two in question are of course the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Gear Fit. I need to preempt the reader that I'm not setting out to review the S5 in the manner of the experts at GSM Arena, Techradar and Trusted Reviews. If you're curious as to what lies under the hood of the phone, you'd best click on each of the link I provided. Instead my goal is to give a fair take on what amounts to the tech giant's first take on wearable fitness devices. You may ask why first when the smartwatch the first version of the Gear has been around for more than a year. That's a valid question which has a simple answer. The Gear is quite simply an extension of the phone whereas the Gear Fit goes beyond the functionality of complementing the phone by incorporating much more features devoted to keeping an active lifestyle.
With that let's get some of the (very) basic features out of the way:
The way geeks work when confronted with an entirely new gear, is to do away with any reading material or online reference. Very gung-ho, I might add! Just figure things out on our own because, you know, reading is such a waste of time! Better dig into the gear, right? After all, not reading the manuals beforehand would be akin to put the gear through a usability test. Unless, of course, we run into a wall. Common sense dictates that both devices need charging before the test drive. So both were plugged into the USB adaptor and left to charge overnight. To charge the S5, one has to peel away the weather-sealed flap of the port before plugging it into a power source while the Gear Fit (GF) snaps onto a clip. It's a little tricky in getting a secure hold between the GF and the clip. I found that I had to press on a little firmer to achieve a good latch. Otherwise you'd find that the device wasn't charged a single bit the next morning, as I'd found out to my detriment!
Once the devices were charged, the first thing I saw on the GF when I powered it up was the message to update its firmware, so I promptly got that done. The updates were installed speedily enough on the S5 and eventually transferred to the GF via Bluetooth. There were enough screen prompts to move me along the way. If you're a Mac user like I am, there's an added component you should be downloading – Android File Transfer (AFT). While not having any implication to the usage of the GF, the AFT app will facilitate the transfer of files such as photos, videos and documents between the S5 and Mac. You can download the AFT app from this link.
By this stage I was really, and I mean really, eager to start using the gear. But before that there were just a bit more to do. The GF allows for a wide range of customization when it comes to the interface from the wallpaper, vertical/horizontal orientation, page order, types of alerts to flash and more. The following screen shots give you a teaser of what you could do.
With the setup and some major poking around done, I was ready to give the gear a run out – or rather a sleep-in – because it was already late into the night! To engage the Sleep tracker function, just scroll along and hit the Sleep option and off you journey into Dreamland. Below was how I fared, when I checked the stats. Not too bad.
By the time I checked the S5, the stats were already transferred to the phone in a seamless fashion. I also wore the GF during the Larian Hijau but I bungled the tracking – instead of selecting Exercise>Running, I accidentally triggered the Pedometer function, which resulted in some pretty darn impressive numbers! The GF has no ambient light sensor (hence the screen brightness control isn't automatic), you can manually toggle the brightness settings on the device.
On weekdays, with the GF on my wrist, I was more conscious of taking walk breaks away from the desk. I've observed that on several occasions there were lag times of several seconds (even if I've started moving) from the moment the pedometer function was started till the counting of the steps actually commenced. Otherwise the counter worked in tune with each step I took.
There are several ways to view the logs, hourly (if you're one who micro-manages your life), daily or monthly. It would be better served if the "Hour" option be replaced with "Week". IMHO, hourly tracking is only useful if the device is able to provide hourly alerts to, well, get off the seat and take a walk.
That's it for now, my first experience with the S5 and Gear Fit. In my next post, I shall try to compare the accuracy of the HR recording and distance tracking of the S5-GF combo against the Garmin FR620 besides exploring the guided coaching features.
I was on the lookout for possible footwear in the weeks leading to Starlight (race report here). because, believe it or not, I didn't have a pair that met my criteria for a road ultra: lightweight (under 10oz), breathable, not over-engineered, perfect blend of responsiveness and cushioning (meaning, not ultra soft), medium-stacked, with just a hint of structure/support to carry me as I straggle like a zombie towards the finish. Oh boy, was I in for a surprise. Little did I realize that I am that hard to please when it comes to shoes!
The original plan for Starlight was to go with 2 pairs – the GRU Nite Owl for the first half before swapping it for the Kinvara 5 Runshield for the second leg – but I finally decided to keep things simple by going with a single-pair approach. The GRU wasn't an option as in the lead up towards the race, it caused some blistering on the top of my 4th toe. I even contemplated cutting out a hole where that problematic overlay ran over. The last time this happened was when I wore a overly small GR3. I was puzzled that this cropped up in a correctly sized GRU. The crucial question was then, "Which pair should I go with?". The Strada and the regular version of the Kinvara 5 weren't available as well.
With a few days to D-Day and in desperation, I'd tried on the asics Excel 33, Electro 33, adidas Revenergy Boost (photo). I found the silky smooth Revenergy too heavy (felt like over 10oz for my size 10) to be carrying over 84K, while the 2 asics just didn't feel quite right and a little too thin on the forefoot midsole. I also checked out the several Nikes but they also felt off.
Just when I was this close *holding up my thumb and index finger* to giving up, I chanced upon the adiZero Ace 6 (aZA6). The aZA6 weighs under 9oz for my US10, which makes it lighter than the GRU, DS Trainer 19, Revenergy Boost, Zoom Fly, Zoom Elite 7, Pegasus 31 and Launch. More importantly it felt just right in the store – not too snug in the midfoot, sports a roomy forefoot (a shocker since adidas typically runs narrow) and has a little toe spring. It also didn't feel like one with a high offset, more like between 6-8mm.
The upper of the aZA6 shares the same design philosophy as GR3 and GRR3 – simple, minimal overlays over just the necessary areas. Interestingly, there's an area just behind the forefoot flexpoint that is a little stretchy allowing the foot to splay further. This small area is reminiscent of the Biomorphic Fit found on the DS Trainer 9. The entire upper of the aZA6 down to the laces, tongue, padding, heel counter, is likewise kept simple. In all the miles that I've covered in the shoe, I've found the ventilation to be excellent.
Midsole is typical adidas with the firmer adiPRENE®+ employed in the forefoot and regular adiPRENE in the heel for cushioning duties. Where the Boost midsole accords a smooth and cushy ride, the adiPRENE setup creates a more responsive ride. It has that snappy feel to it, though not to the extent of the GOspeed.
adiWEAR material can be found in the high-wear areas while the lighter Quickstrike in the other areas of the outsole. Sticky rubber is well deployed on sections of the outsole and I've found the forefoot grip to be astonishingly good. I certainly felt very assured wherever I ran, even on wet surfaces. Exposed midsole foam are evident throughout the outsole too. There's a tiny strip of TPU which I don't think serves any purpose due to its size. If I had a say in the design, the strip wouldn't have found its way into the shoe. Flexibility is, however, just average.
The ride? The aZA6 is somewhat similar to the Wave Rider 17 but definitely firmer than the Kinvara 5 and Boston Boost. While I wore them over 84K, alternating between running and walking, it's definitely a shoe that's more suited to faster-paced running. I've also found that I needed to lace up tighter in order for the shoe to lock down better. Although there were no blisters post-Starlight, my feet slid back and forth a fair bit especially on the descents.Lacing up tightly wasn't an option at that time due to foot swelling encountered over the course of an ultra. The aZA6 would definitely be more comfortable tackling quicker-paced runs and marathons than slow burns.
All things considered, the Ace 6 would find itself in the company of traditional performance trainers such as the Kinvara 5, DS Trainer 19, Zoom Elite 9, Zoom Fly, 890 v4, Launch, Wave Rider 17, Wave Sayonara 2. At 9oz for the US10, the aZA6 is the lightest of those I mentioned above. However, if you prefer an even lighter, softer and way more flexible option, you won't go wrong with the GOrun Ride 3 (8.7oz).
It needs to be mentioned here that I've never taken to adidas shoes, even as a shoe geek for 15 years. I've found their training shoes to be too narrow, too clunky and heavy while their racing shoes too hardcore (read: ultra minimalist, firm). Lately the company seemed to have made some good moves addressing the middle ground. I'm impressed with the Boost midsole material. Its durability (my Energy Boost has logged over 300K with the outsole showing hardly any wear and tear) and that of the adiWEAR outsole is excellent. Of course, durability without a ride that fits the wearer is pointless. The Ace 6 thankfully has that. It won't make waves in the running circle because it's an understated shoe. Added to that, it's not easily available.
I've logged over 110K in the adiZero Ace 6 and the shoe is available from the adidas boutiques in 1Utama and Sunway Pyramid for RM360. Information is scant on the Ace 6 unfortunately, but head on to the brand's UK site and you'll be able to see it there.

"Only the best kind of historian can write compellingly about the past without slipping into anachronism. In his superb analysis of unwanted children in early modern Germany, Joel Harrington assembles some truly remarkable characters—the hapless, the heroic, the deeply cherished, and the never-loved. In telling their stories, he makes a distant time seem immediate and, with great subtlety, prompts readers to consider the fates of the helpless and uncherished today."

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 11/11/14
Photo credit: Christopher Pasatieri Often it is the smaller, less heralded moves that make the difference in playoff races. So as the Rangers approach the trade deadline in good form, but still with flaws, should they make any additions? In most cases you have to give to receive, and if the Rangers want to make a real upgrade to their team they will need to consider moving a current piece of the roster. One player who has quietly had a solid season – even during the dark, inept start laid down by the Rangers – is Brian Boyle. He's also one player whose future in New York is unclear. We have discussed here numerous times the merits of Boyle's defensive game, his face-off skills, and his underrated role on the Rangers. While his 21 goal season has proved to be the exception to the rule, even his 10 points so far this year have been welcome help. All that said, it appears Boyle may be an ex-Ranger soon. Larry Brooks published negative sounding comments from Boyle regarding his future, and pointed out his regressing role as the Rangers have become increasingly disciplined on the ice. Would it make sense to move Boyle? Can the Rangers replace his PK prowess? While Boyle leads all Ranger forwards in PK ice time – 2:05/game – Dom Moore (with 1:56/game) has proven to be a strong penalty killer as well. Both Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin average well over a minute per game. Callahan, if not for the injuries he has sustained this year, would likely be averaging more. With Mats Zuccarello's increasing relevance to the penalty kill this year, and Derek Stepan ability to play the PK (not to mention Derek Dorsett's eventual return), there are plenty of capable players to fill the penalty killing role. As the cliché goes: Your best penalty killer has to be your goaltender, and with Henrik Lundqvist's return to form the Rangers could risk trading Boyle if it helps acquire an upgrade elsewhere. This is especially true if they don't intend on bringing back the giant Ranger next season. Penalty killers, size, and of course face-off ability are hotly sought after commodities come playoff time. It is probably in the Rangers interests to retain Boyle, but it all comes down to supply and demand. If Boyle is part of a package that brings back a solid offensive weapon or an additional right handed defenseman, then the Rangers need to consider moving Boyle. Tweet

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Love your neighbours and love yourself
A friend recently told me how she felt after receiving aid from the Christmas Cheer Board several years ago. She recalled being surprised, but very grateful, that someone cared.
The food and presents in a hamper from the Cheer Board are tangible. But, it's the intangibles that perhaps mean just as much to those receiving support.
I read a book once where the author outlined the seven conditions of love. He said that people felt love when they were accepted, that they belonged; that they felt cared for, defended, supported, safe and special.
Receiving help from the Cheer Board seems to fulfil many, if not all, of those conditions.
The food feeds their stomachs. The gesture feeds their spirit.
"The fact that some one even cares is sort of strange to some of them," Cheer Board chief Kai Madsen said this week. "It might say to them 'Yeah, we do belong.'
"People on the fringe can feel that perhaps they are not alone."
Madsen and his crew of volunteers are already busy getting ready for the hamper campaign. A total of 19,609 hampers were presented last year and Madsen said he expects the number to be about the same this season.
Approximately 5,000 volunteers are involved with the Cheer Board campaign. From retired pensioners to busloads of school children. They also get to enjoy the fruits of the spirit.
"They also get to have that same sense of community as the people receiving the hampers," Madsen explains. "We all can feel more part of the community, the more we are involved with helping our community."
You can also share in that feeling.
Hamper deliveries will commence on Dec. 10. If you wish to help with the deliveries, you can contact the Cheer Board at 204-989-5680.
Here in the sports department, we are also looking to help with our annual Spirit of Christmas campaign.
According to our records, through our columns in the paper and your donations, we raised $135,583.01 last year. Thanks again for your generosity. I hope that you will feel moved to join us in the spirit again this year.
We will publish our first list of donations in next Saturday's paper.
Please send your donations to The Spirit of Christmas, c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, R2X 3B6.

The point that Denver turned to porn during the Super Bowl
Thursday, Feb, 6 2014
Sunday night's Super Bowl got truly ugly at the beginning of the second half when Percy Harvin returned a kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown, making the score 29-0. The return happened right around 7:30.
According to Pornhub, that's when Broncos fans stopped watching the game, and began watching porn. Lots of porn.
This chart shows that at right around 7:30 – when Percy Harvin returned that kick for a TD --- is when Broncos fans decided to take the matter of "beatdowns" into their own hands, a trend that continued well into the night.

Intel Ivy Bridge Continues To Grind Quickly On Linux

8 Comments
many more Ivy Bridge Linux tests
coming out in the next few weeks, but here's some new results today for the Core i7 3770K processor looking at the overclocking results and effects of Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading.
Complementing my
Intel Core i7 3770K Linux benchmarks
Intel HD 4000 Ivy Bridge Graphics on Linux
, and
Ubuntu 12.04 vs. Windows 7: Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge Loses On Linux
results are some new figures to share this afternoon that show the i7-3770K from one of the Intel Z77 motherboards running Ubuntu 12.04 when overclocked from 3.50GHz to 4.20GHz and 4.80GHz. As well it shows the impact that Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading have on the overall Linux performance for this latest-generation Intel hardware.
These were just some quick tests done today and
pushed onto OpenBenchmarking.org
, where you can find the results in full, system hardware/software details, system logs, etc. Embedded below are just some of the more interesting results. Anyone can also compare their Linux system's performance to these Intel Core i7 numbers by simply running
phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1205038-SU-INTELIVYB66
with the open-source
Phoronix Test Suite
Again, all the rest are
on OpenBenchmarking.org
thanks to the open-source automated test infrastructure provided for Linux/OSX/BSD/Solaris users by the
Phoronix Test Suite
Other Ivy Bridge tests
coming up under Linux
include more HD 4000 IVB graphics results, comparing the LLVM/Clang/GCC/Open64/EKOPath compilers on Ivy Bridge, Ivy Bridge compiler tuning, Ubuntu 12.04 stock packages versus the latest Intel Git stack, Ivy Bridge OpenCL on the CPU, Glamor and SNA 2D acceleration versus UXA, DRM and Mesa comparisons, and testing the different Linux desktop environments with the open-source IVB graphics driver.

Bush Signs Wall St. Bailout After House Passage
President Bush has signed into law the $700 billion government bailout of Wall Street. The President's signature came shortly after the House voted to approve the bill with a 263-to-171 vote.
President Bush: "I know some Americans have concerns about this legislation, especially about the government's role and the bill's cost. As a strong supporter of free enterprise, I believe government intervention should occur only when necessary. In this situation, action is clearly necessary."
Fifty-eight Congress members who voted against the bailout last Monday switched sides to support it in Friday's vote. The bill included more than $100 billion in corporate and personal tax breaks. Critics said the new provisions amounted to earmarks for incumbents wary of public opposition. Beneficiaries of the tax breaks include the auto racing body NASCAR, manufacturers of wooden arrows and importers of Puerto Rican rum. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the bill was essential to protect average Americans.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "As we observe the passage of a very serious piece of legislation, we must do so with an eye to the future. We're faced with a situation that had terrible ramifications for everyone on Main Street, but all the attention was on Wall Street. We want to turn that attention, and that was our intent in the legislation."
Kucinich: Bailout "Largest Single Act of Class Warfare" in US History
Democratic Congress member Dennis Kucinich was one of the leading congressional opponents of the Wall Street bailout. In an interview with the website Truthdig, Kucinich called the bill "the largest single act of class warfare in the modern history of this country." He continued, "The Democrats have unfortunately become so enamored and beholden to Wall Street that we are not functioning to defend the economic interest of the broad base of the American people. This is an outrage. This was democracy's Black Friday."
Ex-Goldman Sachs Exec to Steer Bailout
Meanwhile, the Treasury Department has reportedly made its selection on who will oversee the bailout's implementation. According to the Washington Post, the Treasurer has tapped Neel Kashkari, an assistant secretary of international affairs and a former executive of the investment firm Goldman Sachs. Kashkari has been a close adviser to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who is also a former Goldman Sachs executive, serving as its chairman and CEO. Kashkari led Goldman Sachs' security investment division during his stint there.
Bailout Spending to Begin in November
Meanwhile, officials say that despite warnings of the bailout's "urgency" from its proponents, the Treasury will not begin purchasing hundreds of billions in troubled Wall Street assets until the middle of next month.
Countrywide Reaches $8.7B Mortgage Settlement
The mortgage giant Countrywide Financial has reportedly reached a settlement with several states in a suit accusing it of predatory lending. In what the Los Angeles Times calls the "largest loan-modification program" in history, Countrywide owner Bank of America would provide up to $8.7 billion towards reworking the terms of some 400,000 loans. Not all homeowners with Countrywide loans will qualify under the deal. Countrywide has been at the center of the subprime loan crisis. It's currently under investigation for giving misleading information on its financial condition in security filings.
US Loses 159,000 Jobs in September
In other economic news, new government figures show the workforce shed 159,000 jobs last month. It was the worst one-month drop in five years.
McCain Campaign Touts Obama Ties to '60s Activist
On the campaign trail, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain meet for their second debate tomorrow night, a town-hall event in Nashville, Tennessee. The McCain campaign has begun what it calls a new phase of intensified attacks on Obama. On Saturday, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin raised Obama's alleged links to Bill Ayers, a former member of the Vietnam-era militant group the Weather Underground.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: "One of his [Obama's] earliest supporters is a man who, according to the New York Times, was a domestic terrorist and part of a group — part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the US Capitol.'"
Ayers today is a tenured professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In a statement, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley called him "a valued member of the Chicago community" who has "worked with me in shaping our now nationally renowned school reform program." It's said Ayers and Obama have few ties beyond living in the same Chicago neighborhood and having once served together on the board of two nonprofits. Ayers also hosted a fundraiser for Obama when he ran for the State Senate. In North Carolina, Obama dismissed the allegations as a desperate political ploy.
Sen. Barack Obama: "Senator McCain and his operatives are gambling that they can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance. They'd rather tear our campaign down than lift this country up. That's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time."
Dems See Gains as Voter Registration Deadline Arrives
In other election news, today is the deadline for voter registration in nearly half the nation's states. USA Today reports Democrats have added more than 800,000 voters in the eight most competitive states: Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico and New Hampshire. Republicans are said to have lost 300,000 voters in those states. According to the Washington Post, the ratio of new Democratic to Republican voters in Florida is more than two to one; in Colorado and Nevada, four to one; and in North Carolina, six to one.
11 Iraqis Die in US Raid
In Iraq, eleven Iraqis have been killed during a US raid in Mosul. A suicide bomber detonated his vest in the midst of the attack. It's unclear whether the deaths were caused by the suicide bombing or US gunfire. The victims were all reportedly members of the same family.
State Dept. Outsources Investigations of Contractor Crimes
The State Department is coming under new scrutiny for outsourcing to private firms the task of investigating other private contractors for criminal activity in Iraq. ABC News reports the Bureau of Diplomatic Security is now relying on a company called US Investigations Services (USIS) to handle the bulk of its probes. The most controversial investigation surrounds the killings of seventeen Iraqi civilians by employees of the military firm Blackwater Worldwide in Baghdad's Nisoor Square. The one-year anniversary of the Nisoor Square massacre passed last month with not a single criminal charge to date. According to ABC News, eight USIS employees comprise the majority of the Federal Investigations Unit, the government body formed to probe contractor crimes.
UK Commander: NATO Can't Defeat Taliban
In Afghanistan, a senior British military commander has said he doesn't believe the NATO occupying force can defeat the Taliban. In an interview with the Sunday Times of London, Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith said, "We are not going to win this war. It's about reducing it to a manageable level of insurgency that's not a strategic threat and can be managed by the Afghan army." Carleton-Smith heads British forces in the volatile Helmand province. His comments come days after Britain's ambassador to Afghanistan, Sherard Cowper-Coles, told a diplomatic gathering he believes the NATO occupation is a failure.
24 Killed in US Strike in Pakistan
In Pakistan, at least twenty-four people have been killed in the latest US attack near the Afghan border. The attack occurred Friday in Pakistan's North Waziristan province. Meanwhile, the Pakistani government is dismissing new speculation it's authorized the US to carry out the strikes. The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday new Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said he had consented to the attacks. But Pakistan is denying the report.
Palestinian Olive Harvest Begins Amidst Settler Harassment
In the Occupied Territories, Palestinians have begun their annual olive harvest amidst ongoing harassment from Jewish settlers in the West Bank. The Israeli peace group Rabbis for Human Rights says it has deployed activists to forty Palestinian villages to act as "human shields" for the olive growers. Arik Ashcherm of Rabbis for Human Rights said his group would stand up to the settlers.
Arik Ashcherm: "Everybody knows that these are Palestinian-owned trees. Behind us, in the background, is an outpost called 'Mahson David,' which has been created because settlers would like to have a path from Qiryat Arba (settlement) to the Mahpela Cave, and as part of their effort to create facts on the ground, they have been trying to create this outpost here to take more and more Palestinian-owned land."
Half-Million Gallons of Spilled Crude Oil Among Ike's Environmental Damage
Back in the United States, a new analysis of the environmental toll from Hurricane Ike says at least a half-million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico and other areas of Louisiana and Texas. According to the Associated Press, nearly 1,500 polluted sites have yet to be cleaned up.
Catonsville 9 Member John Hogan Dies at 73
And the peace activist John Hogan has died at the age of seventy-three. On May 17, 1968, Hogan and eight others made national news when they burned 600 draft records with homemade napalm in Catonsville, Maryland. They were sentenced to between two to three years in jail. Other participants included Philip and Daniel Berrigan. They became known as the Catonsville Nine. The action was credited with helping to radicalize the movement against the Vietnam War. After his release, Hogan led a quiet life working as a carpenter but continued to speak out against war.

Kings and Lords in Conquest England - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series No.15 (Paperback)
by Robin Fleming, Rosamond McKitterick, Christine Carpenter, Jonathan Shepard
|Paperback 280 pages
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 3-5 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
This is a study of landholding and alliance in England in the years 950 to 1086, a period in which the fortunes of lay lords and their families rose and fell dramatically. It was also a period of dizzying tenurial change, in which the fluctuations in landed wealth and alliances shed light on the economic and geographic balance between the monarchy and the aristocracy, and on how this balance helped shape Conquest England. A number of key historical issues are investigated: the impact of Cnut's conquest on England, the quality of Edward the Confessor's kingship, the means by which the Norman settlement was carried out, and the effects on England of William's conquest. The book will become the standard work on the often volatile relationship between the king and the great lords in this key transitional period, and is one of the most stimulating and original contributions to Conquest studies.

It has a gated playground, horseshoes, two pools (one heated) 'FREE' onsite boat ramp and boat trailer parking (slip may also be available). The complex is located on the 12 mile marker of the Big Niangua, just a few miles from the amazing Ha Ha Tonka State park. Also, Old Kinderhook Country Club and Lake Valley Country Club are literally minutes away as well as many many wineries.
We are just 20 minutes from the popular Osage Beach and Lake Ozark areas where there is shopping, dining, golf, spas, movies, and all the best the lake offers.
This unit is an open floor plan with two bedrooms PLUS a giant open loft (with two twin beds) and tons of floor space to put lots of people (or kids!) if needed. 1 air mattress is provided. In sum, you get a three bedroom unit for the price of a two bedroom unit!

About Ted
We are a small family in St. Louis who loves spending family time at the lake. We do our best to make sure everything you could possibly need is in the unit for you. Due to our fireman's schedule, we wanted to share the unit when we could not be there to enjoy it.
Ted purchased this condo in 2013
Why Ted chose Camdenton
You get the size of a three bedroom for the price of a two bedroom. This place is great for larger groups or families. There is also a nice family that rents their condo 2 doors down on the same floor if you have a large group.
What makes this condo unique
Updated in 2013, top floor 'Pent house' with great view that overlooks the quiet cove, covered docks and the heated pool. A brand new washer/dryer stack unit, BBQ pit and bath towels provided unlike some other units in the complex. PEACEFUL!!!
