Recently Vince Neil got approval to start his own Arena Football League franchise in Las Vegas. No word yet on the branding, but we here at Rocks Off are obviously hoping that, like the L.A.

I once wrote here how my kids work at being musicians. Their hand-to-mouth life demands and modest success means they don't have to bus tables for a living.

Dipole Source Placement in a Room
Panel type loudspeakers (often dispole) are getting more and more popular. However, little information is available how to place them in a room for best results. Measurements with a scale model have been made to compare the characteristics of a point source (a closed box in this case) and a dipole source in this respect. Measurement results are postprocessed into more readable form and the results are discussed.

I've gathered equipment for capturing Australian PAL VHS-C tapes.
ATI AMD TV Wonder HD 600 USB 2.0(set up as a "USB 2883 Device" on Windows 7 64bit)
AVToolbox AVT 8710(black, I'm not certain how to determine if it's working correctly or defective)
JVC VHS-C Cassette Adapter C-P7U
Panasonic NV-FS200(German, Should I enable TBC?, I also hear a static, click sound every few seconds when using RCA cables for audio while playing a VHS tape)
I plan on using S-Video cables to capture the video, RCA stereo white and red for audio.
I understand VHS-C tapes are terrible quality wise, however I'd like to get as much out of them as possible.
Is there any other equipment I should obtain before proceeding? Is there a specific brand of S-Video, or RCA cable I should buy?
What's the best program for capturing using the equipment I've listed? Which resolution should I capture at? Are there any other settings I'll need to worry about?

Once it starts filtering a tape, and you do nothing during that time, only play the tape, it will not be thrown off. If inserting a new tape, then you may need to power cycle it again.
It's only when you change the signal that affects it, so you may have to modify your workflow for it.
Other that that, it's fine. Its job is to clean the harsh signal from analog tape and avoid dropped frames. It can help with tape jitter indirectly somewhat, but that's not what it's supposed to do.
To see if it's defective, try a tape that emits a "false positive", or MV. If it filters a clean signal, it's "working".
Sometimes it tends to produce ghosting, but if you use more than one VCR in the mix, it will work better with another on a given tape.
If you really find the AVT-8710 troublesome, you can try the Panasonic ES10/ES15 DVR as a passthrough (although it won't correct MV).

Since this one was a field TBC, it would output the wrong field order at times, completely at random, so since this can be disastrous to an editing workflow, I gave up on it. Can't say for sure with your unit though. Maybe someone else can chime in here.
The audio was great on the AG-1980, so can't comment here. But if you have another VCR that produces better audio - use that one for audio, and edit/mux the two capture results afterwards.

My settings are somewhat listed here:
Since you're in PAL, I say use 720x576, 25fps to capture.

November 24, 2014
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Israel's new opposition leader says he told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that a clear majority in Israel supports a peace deal with the Palestinians and that his Labor Party will back any future agreement.
Isaac Herzog was elected Labor leader on Nov. 21, replacing a party chief who had made domestic issues such as economic inequality a chief concern. Herzog's meeting with Abbas on Sunday signaled a shift back to Labor's traditional priorities. In the 1990s, Labor led Israel into ultimately unsuccessful negotiations on the terms of a Palestinian state.
Talks resumed in July, but there's been no apparent progress. Tensions are high over Israel's continued settlement building on lands sought for a Palestinian state.
Herzog says Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should meet to advance negotiations.

The Gore exception: Rich liberals can avoid high taxes
For the wealthy, avoiding high tax rates is unpatriotic, according to the Obama administration.
Defending the Obama plan to raise taxes on the rich, Joe Biden said during the 2008 presidential campaign, "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."
Campaigning in New Hampshire last year, Biden made the point again, saying, "Wealthy people are just as patriotic as middle-class people, as poor people, and they know they should be doing more."
During the last presidential campaign, Obama called for a "new economic patriotism" that involved raising taxes on the rich.
On Thursday, news broke that Current TV, the left-wing network founded by a business team led by wealthy former Vice President Al Gore, sold itself to Al Jazeera, the Arab-language news network financed by the government of Qatar. Wrote The New York Times, "Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1...."
We eagerly await the Obama administration's denunciation of Al Gore for being doubly unpatriotic, as he offshored American jobs for a profit, which Obama attacked Mitt Romney for doing, and reportedly timed the sale of his company to avoid the higher tax rates demanded by President Obama. Come on, Mr. Vice President, what say you?

For most non-primates, including rabbit and quinea pig, CD35 is expressed on platelets rather than erythrocytes. The immune adherence receptor on mouse and rat platelets remains to be identified. It does not cross react with antibodies to mouse CR1/CR2.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the regulators of complement activation gene family.
CD35 is a single-pass type-1polymorphic 998 glycoprotein. It contains a 930 aa extracellular domain which contains 24 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a 25 aa transmembrane domain and a 43 aa cytoplasmic tail. The extracellular region is comprised entirely of tandemly repeated complement control protein (CCP) repeats and is also termed short consensus repeats (SCRs) of approximately 65 aa. Each repeat contains 4 conserved cysteines, linked 1-3 and 2-4, and a tryptophan between cysteines 3 and 4. High sequence homology of 60%-100% between every 7th repeat permits grouping every 7 repeats into a unit termed a long homologous repeat (LHR). LHRs are termed A, B, C, and D, corresponding to repeats 1-7, 8-15, 16-21, and 22-28. SCRs 29 and 30 show a reduced homology with the repeats grouped into LHRs. Molecular mass polymorphism is due to the differences in the number of SCRs encoded by different alleles, 190 kDa in 23 SCRs, 220 kDa in 30 SCRs, 250 kDa in 37 SCRs, and 280 kDa in 44 SCRs. Functional domains localize to the 1st 3 SCRs of LHRs A, B, and C. The frequency of each form is A 82%, B 18%, C and D <0.01%.
A cDNA clone has been identified which encodes a secreted form comprising the amino-terminal 8.5 SCRs. A protein product of this transcript has not been detected in vivo. A CD35-like genomic clone has been identified with approximately 90% homology to CD35. It possesses SCRs 1-6 joined to SCR9. There is no stop codon in these exons. Smaller molecular mass forms of CD35 are expressed, predominantly on erythrocytes, by non-human primates. Some of these smaller forms are bound to the cell surface membrane by a GPI-anchor. Mouse CD35 and CD21 are generated by alternative splicing of a common message onto the CD21 message of 15 SCRs, which appends 6 SCRs from the amino terminus of CD35 producing a hybrid CD21/CD35 protein.
N-linked glycosylation accounts for molecular mass differences of CD35 between erythrocytes and leukocytes. There is no O-linked carbohydrate.
|CD35 binds the complement components C3b and C4b.
|The major role of CD35 is the removal and processing of immune complexes and facilitating transport to lymphoid follicles. On leukocytes and tissue sources, CD35 mediates adherence of C4b/C3b coated particles in preparation for phagocytosis. Phagocytosis most often requires the cooperation of CD35 with complement receptor type 3, CR3, CD11b/CD18, and the Fcg receptors. Primary function of erythrocyte CD35 is mediating the adherence of targets coated with C4b/C3b and their transport to the fixed phagocyte systems of the spleen and liver. CD35 limits complement activation and creates ligands for complement receptors by facilitating C3b and C4b cleavage by factor 1 and accelerating the decay of the C3 and C5 convertases and acting as a cofactor to plasma serine protease factor 1. Invasion by a number of bacterial and protozoan pathogens is facilitated by CD35. Soluble CD35 is currently undergoing clinical trials as a complement inhibitor.
Receptors for C3b and C4b are bound to immune complexes. The co-factor for specific proteolytic cleavage of C3b and C4b is by the plasma serine protease, factor I. CD35 accelerates the decay of both the classical and the alternative pathway C3 and C5 convertases on cells to which it is bound by intrinsic and extrinsic activity.
CD35 plays a major role in the removal and processing of immune complexes and facilitating of their localization to lymphoid follicles. A recombinant soluble form of CD35, consisting of SCRs 1-30 but lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, is in clinical trials as a complement inhibitor. This reagent has provided the means to establish a major role for complement in ischemia-reperfusion injury. A CD35 knockout model in the mouse demonstrates impaired B-cell responses to T-cell dependent antigens. The use of monoclonal antibodies to CD35 crosslinked to either autoantigens or antibodies to pathogens is currently being investigated as a means of promoting clearance. A transient, acquired and disease activity-related reduction in CR1/number erythrocyte occurs in SLE and other syndromes with excessive amounts of complement fixing immune complexes. CD35 contains a system of antigens that carry Knops blood group polymorphism with one allele more common in individuals of African origin reported to confer some protection against severe malaria. Mutations cause a reduction in P. falciparum rosetting. Mutations of CD35 have been associated with gallbladder carcinomas, mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and sarcoidosis
|The CD35 gene is located within the regulators of complement activation (RCA) gene complex which contains the genes for CD21, CD35, CD46, CD55, factor H, and the 2 subunits of the C4 binding protein, all of which contain CCP domains. This region appears to have evolved rapidly in mammals because in many cases orthologues of these genes have not been identified in other species. Furthermore, identified orthologues often differ in structure, expression, and function. For example, the most abundant form of CD35 on chimpanzee erythrocytes has only 1 LHR, equivalent to LHR-A, and binds both C3b and C4b. Mice lack a structural equivalent of human CD35 but instead have 1 gene that codes for both CD35 (CR1) and CD21 (CR2). Mouse CD21 has 15 CCP domains and CD35 contains an additional 6 CCP at its N-terminus. These additional CCP domains confer a C3b binding activity. A related mouse gene Crry encodes a membrane protein with 5 CCP domains. The sequence of the first 4 CCP domains of Crry are most similar to the first 4 CCP domains of human CD35. However, Crry can mediate both decay accelerating activity, like CD55, and cofactor activity, like CD46, for both the classical and alternative complement activation pathways. The CD35/Crry regulatory proteins of the rat are different.
PROTEINS AND DNA ELEMENTS WHICH REGULATE TRANSCRIPTION OF CD35: No information.
By binding C3b or C4b, CD35's primary ligands, CD35 is thought to induce a conformational change in these ligands making them more susceptible to site-specific cleavage by the plasma serine protease, factor I. CD35 is a co-factor for the 1st cleavage reaction, which leads to production of C3bi. It is a necessary co-factor for the cleavage of C3bi to C3c and C3dg.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD35: No information.

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi is anticipating another difficult race in Indianapolis this weekend, despite recent improvements to the performance of his factory Ducati GP11.1 machine.
The Italian used new front-end parts at the last race in Brno and the modifications gave Rossi much more confidence in the braking zone and corner entry.
He was still only sixth but he finished just over 12 seconds...

Hmmm - I am as baffled as you are and i too find it strange how both Hayden and Rossi managed to suddenly close the gap..
Maybe it has something to do with the engine usage, maybe they were holding off and not creaming the engine for all FP's and Qualifying in order to preserve the very few remaining engines in there allocation (still a long way to go to the end of the season with Ducatis limited engine options)? Could they have just turned the wick up in the closing stages of Qualifying once they knew they had a decent enough set up to get a better lap time and grid position?
Just a thought..

I guess though we'll never know how it happened.
Looking forward to how this weekend plays out and be interesting to see if there is any more progress

COLLINSVILLE, Ill. — Illinois lawmakers have gone on record as saying there's a state of emergency when it comes to the problem with heroin.
That made a recent bust near Collinsville all the more rewarding.
Top law enforcers are saluting the Illinois State Police troopers who pulled over 46-year-old Rodlofo Hernandez-Flores of Tijuana Mexico. He's charged with carrying 5 and half kilos of heroin, street value $250,000, in his truck through Madison County. Troopers in the ISPNarcotics Interdiction Unit have gone through a lot of specialized training. When they pull someone over, it's as if they've been educated to read a motorist's mind.

FRIDAY, March 28 HealthDay News) -- Physical exercise at a young age increases bone health, and those benefits continue with age, a new study of baseball players finds.
And people who continue to exercise as they grow older have even greater bone health benefits, said lead researcher Stuart Warden, associate dean for research at Indiana University's School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
The study "basically supports the idea that you need to exercise when you are young to optimize your bone health," he said.
For the study, published online March 24 in PNAS Early Edition, Warden studied 103 professional baseball players, comparing bone mass, size and strength in their throwing and non-throwing arms during active play and after retirement.
In their youth, "they increased the mass and size of the bone," he said. "As a result, the bone got stronger."
When they stopped playing ball, the bone mass benefit disappeared, but the size benefit didn't, the study found. "As a result, the strength remained," Warden said, explaining that the strength of a bone is dependent on both its mass and size.
By their 80s, inactive players had lost all their bone mass benefits. But they held onto more than half of the bone size benefits and one-third of the bone strength benefits from their youthful exercise.
"Even though they hadn't exercised in 50 years, they still had a bigger, stronger bone in their throwing arm," Warden said.
Players who remained active held onto 28 percent of their bone mass benefits and half of the strength benefits from their youth, he said.
The findings weren't a surprise, Warden said. The study included only men, so Warden can't say for sure if the same would be true for women, but he suspects it would be.
The study findings make sense to Heather McKay, director of the Center for Hip Health and Mobility at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, who was not involved in the research.
"We know that childhood and the growing years offer that window of opportunity," she said of bone health. "What Dr. Warden has been able to do is drill down more specifically into the mechanisms that explain bone strength."
The bone strength achieved by exercise is bone-specific, said McKay, who is also a professor of medicine. The study was able to demonstrate that by measuring the throwing arms, which were much stronger than the other arms.
The findings should inspire people of any age to keep moving, or get moving, she said. While childhood is the ideal time to exercise to build bones, she said, "in adulthood you can still retain your skeleton. In older age, it's about maintenance."
Without maintenance, bone health declines, she said, and boosts the risk of disabling fractures.
It's not known whether the findings would apply to the hips and other sites prone to fractures from the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.

A 31-year-old sheriff's deputy has been injured in a crash that followed his cruiser's collision with a deer in southwest Iowa.
The Mills County Sheriff's Office says Deputy Joshua England suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the accident early Saturday morning.
England, of Glenwood, was on his way to help deputies with a pursuit in neighboring Pottawattamie County when his cruiser struck a deer a little after 12:10 a.m. The Iowa State Patrol says the cruiser went out of control and ran off the road.
England was taken to a hospital.

In response to the Nov. 10 news story "Ted Cruz exemplifies the rise of individualism in politics":Sen. Cruz doesn't exemplify anything but narcissism.He speaks about listening to the American people. The American people voted for the Affordable Care Act when President Obama was re-elected.It's nowhere near perfect, but it's a start. Instead of working to help the people he represents, whether by expanding Medicaid, improving benefits for seniors and the poor, or raising the minimum wage so people can take care of themselves and their families, Cruz gloated when the government shut down, costing thousands of people their livelihoods. He's trying to deny thousands access to affordable healthcare and he's not focused on anything that would be considered beneficial to his constituents.Shame on him. He doesn't represent what's good about Texas, and he certainly doesn't represent me. He's in it for himself, and he's making a complete fool of himself. — Stacy Forte, Trophy Club

Israel and Apartheid
To The New York Times, Nov. 2, 2011
Re: "Israel and the Apartheid Slander," by Richard J. Goldstone. Mr. Goldstone and I knew apartheid in South Africa. We knew apartheid as a discriminatory, repressive system accompanied by the seizure of land belonging to blacks for the use of whites.
We know something about Gaza, as we investigated Israel's actions there in 2009 and concluded that Israel had committed war crimes. I know the West Bank better than Mr. Goldstone, as from 2001 to 2008, I was special rapporteur to the Human Rights Council, a United Nations body, on human rights in the Palestinian territories and visited there regularly.
There are distinctive similarities between apartheid in South Africa and Israel's practices in the West Bank. Israel discriminates against Palestinians in favor of settlers. Its restrictions on freedom of movement resemble the pass laws of apartheid South Africa.
Israeli practices in the Palestinian territories are repressive. Torture of Palestinians is rife; houses are destroyed, and there are more political prisoners in Israeli jails than there were in South Africa under apartheid. Israel seizes Palestinian land for settlements and for the construction of the wall.
There are sufficient similarities between the two systems to justify an investigation into whether or not Israel commits the crime of apartheid in the Palestinian territories.
Israel refuses to accept the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. In these circumstances, the Russell Tribunal on Palestine should examine the question of whether or not Israel should be held accountable for the crime of apartheid.

Israel Has Lost High Ground
To The Tennessean, Nov. 25, 2011
Nour Joudah's op-ed on Nov. 16 concerning Palestinian lack of real freedom brought out the usual "Palestinians are the bad guys, and the state of Israel are the good guys" responses.
Mark S. Freedman's op-ed states the necessity of the security fence and the checkpoints. My resources, which come from at least four church denominations, give different facts.
Checkpoints control Palestinians economically. At checkpoints, childbirth is increasingly a casualty, because Palestinian women are often refused passage to get medical care. If you marry someone from the opposite side of a checkpoint, there is no guarantee you can later automatically cross on grounds of marriage.
Israel is the side that needs to readjust its thinking and realize that Palestinians are also children of God.

Free Speech and the Mideast
To The Washington Post, Nov. 30, 2011
As Israel now proposes ["Israel's shot at stifling speech," editorial, Nov. 21], Egypt sought to control the flow of money from foreign governments to civil-society groups under the regime of Hosni Mubarak. This continues today, and it is one of the many swords of Damocles that hang over the heads of Egyptian organizations. This control was used as a basis to charge and jail American University of Cairo human rights leader Saad Eddin Ibrahim 10 years ago.
The Post was right to sound the alarm about Israel following Egypt's practice on constraining groups by cutting off funding lifelines. But The Post should also urge, as it has in the case of Egypt, that the U.S. use the considerable leverage of its immense foreign aid to get Israel to drop its plan.

Drones vs. Assassinations
To The Seattle Times, Oct. 24, 2011
I am puzzled by the level of scrutiny given to the manner and method of Muammar Qaddafi's death compared with that given to the routine extrajudicial assassinations carried out via missile from unmanned drones.
Perhaps the level of brutality and illegality is deemed to be inversely proportional to the distance between perpetrator and victim.

Apply Iraq's Lessons to Libya
To the Los Angeles Times, Oct. 24, 2011
I agree with the Times about rebuilding Libya. But I would like to remind the Times that much of the turmoil in Iraq was a result of how the U.S. handled things once Saddam Hussain was overthrown.
Instead of being liberators, we were occupiers. We disbanded the Iraqi armed forces and lost the trust of the Iraqi people.
This time, let's help the people by building bridges between tribes and fostering education and public works projects. No Halliburtons. No U.S. soldiers. Build bridges, literal and otherwise.

Assessing Iraq's Future
To the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Oct. 25, 2011
President Obama says he is getting troops out of Iraq by year's end. At last! I hope he follows soon with a withdrawal from Afghanistan. However, I have several questions about Iraq that I haven't even heard mentioned, much less discussed. We need information, not just patriotic rhetoric.
- • How many mercenaries will stay in Iraq? How much will they cost? They are hated by the Iraqis because of their abuses of power, and they are at least twice as expensive as regular soldiers.
- • Will the U.S. scale down our embassy? We have built the largest, most expensive embassy complex in history—as big as a small city. We don't need that large a facility if we aren't going to continue to control the destiny of Iraq.
- • To what extent have we rebuilt the shattered infrastructure that our invasion destroyed, as we promised to do? Are we leaving the Iraqis without basic services?
- • Will our media report on these and other important matters or continue to get most of their information from official sources?
Myra Jones, Bradenton, FL
How Iraq Was Actually Lost
To the Los Angeles Times, Oct. 31, 2011
If Frederick W. Kagan and Kimberly Kagan don't like it that the sovereign nation of Iraq wants America to honor its agreements, what do they suggest? Should we stay in Iraq when we are clearly not wanted? What about invading Iraq to ensure safety for Americans? Oh, we already did that and failed.
This war was doomed from the beginning. The administration that started this debacle and handed Iran its victory is the one to call a failure. Many smart analysts advised against military action against Iraq; if memory serves, these astute people were called unpatriotic.
Obama did not fail; he is honoring the agreement set by Bush.
Stephanie Georigeff, Redlands, CA
A Promise Kept
To The Washington Post, Nov. 8, 2011
Regarding Charles Krauthammer's op-ed, "Who lost Iraq?":
There is little wonder when a president elected on a promise to get U.S. forces out of Iraq gets U.S. forces out of Iraq. It is even less a wonder when he does so on the schedule outlined in an agreement negotiated and signed by the author of the war and president from the opposing party—bipartisanship at its best, we can say.
More important, however, Mr. Krauthammer was wrong on the cure for the problems in Iraq. After suggesting—erroneously—that the United States could sustain a deployment of troops that mimics deployments in South Korea, Japan and Germany, he (inadvertently?) admitted the truth: The "risibly small" force proposed by some (3,000 to 5,000 troops) would spend "all its energies" on force protection. We are hardly welcome in Iraq.
I have been advocating for this course since my retirement from the Air Force in 2005. Mr. Krauthammer was right about the resistance to a U.S. presence in Iraq, and that is exactly why we should not stay. Beyond the danger it posed to U.S. troops, the fighting against the U.S. occupation led to a spiral of increasingly destructive violence in Iraq.

No Gain in Iraq War
To the Cincinnati Enquirer, Nov. 11, 2011
Charles Krauthammer is in the small minority of Americans who think we should keep 20,000 American troops in Iraq to "save the Bush Iraq war gains" ("Obama has blown lasting gains in Iraq," Nov. 4). I am not sure what the Iraq war gains are or were.
I know that no American would have agreed to go to war in Iraq if you told them that there were no WMDs, it would cost $800-plus billion, that it would cost over 4,000 American lives and over 400,000 Iraqi lives, that gas would go from $1 per gallon to more than $3, and that Iraq would wind up with a shariah-based constitution and political chaos. Getting our troops out by the end of this year is the best news this country has had concerning Iraq in years. We must learn from our mistakes or we will be destined to repeat them.
Bob Letourneau, West Chester, OH
Peril of Afghan Wars
To The Kansas City Star, Nov. 14 2011
From 1979 to 1988 there were more than 13,000 Soviet soldiers killed and more than 35,000 wounded in a Mideast war. Where you ask? Afghanistan.
Now the United States, thanks to President George W. Bush, is attempting to break that ignominious record.
The Russians invaded Afghanistan and lost. The British did it twice, the Muslims, the Mongols have all tried. Alexander the Great tried more than 2,300 years ago. Don't we ever learn anything?
President Barack Obama says we are getting out of Iraq by the end of the year. We had no business going in there to start with. It's the idiotic Vietnam War all over again.
We have no right to decide which country embraces our style of government and/or our choice of religion. The Middle East is not ours to control. We have no rights in any other sovereign country.
Why do we keep trying? President Obama, get us out of Afghanistan as well before we break the Russian record. Don't we ever learn anything?
George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Our leaders don't have trouble remembering the past. They just ignore it.
Luke Edwards, Olathe, KS
Room for Iran Dialogue
To the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Oct. 29, 2011
Fareed Zakaria of The Washington Post is exactly correct that President Obama should "test the Iranians to see if there is any room for dialogue and agreement." Iran does not threaten our national interests and we should not be threatening Iran with harsher sanctions or, even worse, military action.
Unfortunately, the U.S. does not have its own foreign policy. It has one dictated to our lapdog politicians by Israel and the powerful pro-Israel lobby, who have been trying to provoke a U.S. war with Iran for years. Israel does not want U.S. diplomacy with Iran; it wants a U.S. attack on Iran in order to remove a regime unfriendly to Israel.
Presidential candidate Ron Paul, who was right when he opposed the disastrous Iraq war, says that if we go to war in Iran, it will destroy the U.S. dollar (and our economy). We cannot allow this to happen.
Ray Gordon, Venice, FL
National Priorities
To Chicago Tribune, Nov. 25, 2011
The situation in the Middle East is both a tinderbox and a quagmire.
Our misguided foreign policy has produced the bitter fruits of thousands of lost American lives, billions of dollars that are capsizing our economy and, in many countries, hatred of the United States. In that troubled area, we preach "self-determination," but instead, we meddle, threaten, sell arms and try to buy friendships.
We citizens are soon to elect leaders who will define our national priorities.
Now is the time! Now is when we have the chance to remember history, search our souls and refashion our goals of strength, independence and peace.
What party or which of the candidates will have the wisdom and guts to return America to what it was?
Arnie Clark, Oak Bridge, IL

WHEN I was about eight, nine and ten years old in the early 1990s, mum taught at Lumi Community School.
The school catered to children of public servants at Lumi station and children from villages surrounding the station.
Back then, Lumi was a fully-fledged district of West Sepik Province. It is now just a sub district, Aitape being the headquarters of the restructured Aitape-Lumi District.
So it was that our home was right at the station, the centrepiece of which was the Lumi airstrip. The airstrip ran right through the middle of Lumi station, with houses on either side.

US Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte Pictures Celebrating His Birthday
Ryan Lochte Celebrates His Big Day in London — Again!
Ryan Lochte was able to celebrate his 28th birthday again with a bash at London's Planet Hollywood on Tuesday night. His actual big day was last Friday, Aug. 3, and he's hit the town with friends for bashes since then. For his latest soiree, Ryan had the company of other US Olympic swimmers including Matt Grevers, Nick Thoman, and more. Ryan kept the good times going with an after party at the club Mahiki, a favourite haunt of Princes William and Harry. The evening out came after Ryan finished racing at the 2012 London Games with a total of five medals. He also accomplished another task — Ryan did some of his first acting ever by recording a Funny or Die spot with British comedian Simon Pegg. Additionally, Ryan fit in time at an event with one of his sponsors, Gillette. The company gifted Ryan two gold- and diamond-encrusted razors as a b'day and congratulations gift.

2.5 Gallon Sierra by Noble Chemical Fast Drying Floor Finish
- Fast drying, high gloss finish
- Suitable for use with rotary floor machines
- Works on vinyl, linoleum, sealed wood, and more
Sierra by Noble Chemical
|Chemical Form
Noble Chemical's Sierra Fast Drying Floor Finish is an easy to use finish designed for high traffic areas where high gloss and durability are critical, like supermarkets and department stores. It's an excellent product for damp mopping and spray buffing with any speed buffing machine. This fast drying floor finish is suitable for use on vinyl tile, vinyl asbestos, asphalt tile, linoleum, rubber tile, terrazzo, sealed wood, and quarry tile.
If stripping is necessary, use a high quality stripper and follow directions accordingly. If floor is in good condition and stripping is not necessary, sweep up excess dirt and dust and then clean with a good quality cleaner to remove dirt and oils. Follow with a thorough rinsing and allow to dry completely.
If floor was stripped, use a good acrylic sealer to further prepare the floor for finishing. Spread a liberal coat of finish evenly across the floor with a clean mop or applicator. Allow each coat to dry at least 45 minutes before applying the next coat. Two or three coats are desired initially, depending on the condition of the floor and gloss desired.
The floor may be maintained using a quality floor cleaner and damp mopping regularly. Spray buffing or mop-on restoring may also be done after sweeping up loose dirt and dust. Follow directions for each product accordingly.
This product meets the maximum content requirements for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as established by state and Federal regulations.

The 1850's were a period of significant social and political upheaval in the United States, which led to the destruction of the previously existing two party system of government. Much of this political unrest was brought about by the changing views regarding the major social issues of the day, these being related to slavery, immigration and temperance. This actually resulted in a situation where, during the decade being discussed, there were six political parties in existence at some stage during the decade.
Democratic Party
The democrats are the oldest party in American politics. Originally founded by Thomas Jefferson and others as the Democratic-Republican Party, it dropped the republican name in 1840. In the 1850's, the democrats based their ideology upon the rights of the workers and individual states, together with firm allegiance to the constitution. They opposed the power of wealth and the formation of a National Bank.
Liberty Party
The Liberty, or Libertarian Party, was formed by those in favour of the abolition of slavery and attracted votes from former Whigs' supporters (see below) during the pursuit of this aim. Although James Bimey ran for the Presidency of the US on this abortionist ticket in 1844, he only managed to achieve around 2% of the vote. However, despite their lack of success in terms of national office, the party has weathered the test of time by evolving in tune with political and social changes, and is still in existence today.
Whigs Party
The Whigs came into being in 1934 following disagreement with the way in which the Demographic-Republican party politics was developing, particularly in respect of the question of slavery. Thus, it was not surprising to find that the party's main supporters were drawn from the large commercial organisations of the time, particularly those who had an interest in slavery operations, both in the north and south of the country. However, during the 1850', the Whigs themselves became divided over the issue, with many leaving the party to join the Republican's and others. Following the fragmenting effects of these divisions, the party was dissolved in 1852.
Free Soil Party
Whilst stopping short of outright abolition of slavery, the Free Soil party became popular because of its demands that the current extension of this abhorent trade should not be allowed. This position saw their Presidential candidate of 1848, Martin Van Buren, attract ten percent of the popular vote. However, when the party refused to agree to the introduction of a compromise bill in 1850, this popularity waned, with support falling to half its previous levels during the 1852 elections.
American Party
Perhaps the American Party was the one which most stood out from the others in terms of policy. In essence, this party was the forerunner of what would now be known as a nationalist party, because of their opposition to immigration and temperance. The popularity of the American Party views led to their Presidential candidate, Millard Fillmore, securing 21% of the election votes in 1856, although this was still not enough to defeat the Democrats. Following this election the party was absorbed within the Republican movement.
Republican Party
In reality, the Republican Party was formed to create the only credible alternative to the Democrats. Its success was based upon the fact that the Party managed to combine many of the common views from fragments of other parties into one cohesive policy. Running on a policy of free labour, although again stopping short of abolition of current slavery, the Republicans managed to achieve a consensus of opinion that convinced large numbers of US citizens. Although John C Friedmont was the first Presidential candidate to stand for the republicans, the party is best known for the term that Abraham Lincoln spent in the White House. From this position, the party has grown to become the only serious competition to the Democrats.
Whilst in other nations, politics has a more varied flavour with a wider range of parties vying for leadership and involved in the formation of coalitions, apart from the 1850's period of political history in the US, as outlined above, the two party division seems to have become the dominant focus of the county's social and political culture.

Product description
From the author of 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' come stories of hardship and hope in post-war Britain. The title story in this classic collection tells of Smith, a defiant young rebel, inhabiting the no-man's land of institutionalised Borstal. As his steady jog-trot rhythm transports him over an unrelenting, frost-bitten earth, he wonders why, for whom and for what he is running. A groundbreaking work, 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' captured the grim isolation of the working class in the English Midlands when it was first published in 1960s. But Sillitoe's depiction of petty crime and deep-seated anger in industrial and desperate cities remains as potent today as it was almost half a century ago.

Author information
Alan Sillitoe left school at 14 to work in various factories until becoming an air traffic control assistant with the Ministry of Aircraft Production in 1945. He began writing after four years in the RAF, and lived for six years in France and Spain. In 1958, 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' was published, and 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner', which won the Hawthornden Prize for literature, came out the following year. Both these books were made into films.
Review quote
'I have read nothing to compare with it.' Penelope Mortimer 'Sillitoe writes with tremendous energy, and his stories simply tear along.' Daily Telegraph 'All the imaginative sympathy in the world can't fake this kind of thing. It must have been lived in, seen, touched, smelled: and we are lucky to have a writer who has come out of it knowing the truth, and having the skill to turn that truth into art.' New Statesman 'Graphic, tough, outspoken, informal.' The Times 'A beautiful piece of work, confirming Sillitoe as a writer of unusual spirit and great promise.' Guardian 'A major writer.' Malcolm Bradbury
