20.06.07 - By Paul McCreath: In years gone by there was a common saying in the boxing world "They never come back." For many years this was mostly true. A few boxers tried comebacks, but aside from some minor successes, most failed. Then along came Sugar Ray Robinson, the former world middleweight champion. After losing a challenge for the light heavyweight title against Joey Maxim in June of 1952, he announced his retirement in December of that year.
Nearly two years later, he returned to the ring first for an exhibition bout, then in January of 1955 his first in a series of fights that would culminate in December when he regained his title with a second round KO of Bobo Olson. He had proven that sometimes they do come back.
Robinson was followed by two very prominent heavyweights who also came back and re-won their titles. First came Muhammed Ali, who had been idle due to draft problems throughout both 1968 and 1969. He returned to the ring in 1970 and after losing over 15 rounds to Joe Frazier the next year, he eventually regained his title with his famous stoppage of George Foreman in Zaire in Oct. of 1974. Foreman himself came back to the ring in 1987 after being retired for 10 years and shocked the world by stopping Michael Moorer in November of 1994, to gain the WBA and IBF versions of the heavyweight crown. After that, nothing was considered impossible.
So what are the chances of any of our current crop of returning behemoths gaining a title? Let us take a look at the situation as it exists today.
We have at this time four former belt holders on the comeback trail and three former top contenders, two of whom have had title shots in their earlier careers. Evander Holyfield was the most prominent of the champs and has held world belts on several occasions but at 44, he is the oldest of the group. Evander was idle for about 21 months after his loss to Larry Donald but returned to the chase vowing to regain all his titles in August of 2006. So far, he has three wins, none overly impressive. His best effort was a close disputed decision over Fres Oquendo, another returning heavy. There is evidence that Holyfield is healthier now than when he met Donald so his followers are still hoping for the best. His next opponent, the veteran Lou Savarese on June 30, will quite possibly qualify him for a voluntary shot at Sultan Ibragimov, the WBO belt holder, if he gets by Lou in impressive fashion. Since he is the most likely to get a title shot soon, Evander probably has the best chance of success but can he win? At his age, with slowing reflexes, it is doubtful but Evander is always in top condition, so who knows?
David Tua probably has the best tools to regain a title. Nobody disputes his great punching power or rock like chin. However, David's problem is his lack of dedication and hunger for the game. He was out of boxing for two years due to a dispute with his management team. Surely if he really wanted to fight, he could have found a way during this time. He could have had his purses held in escrow. Since returning in July of 2006, he has won three bouts in an unimpressive manner while avoiding any tough matches. His weight, as high as 250, suggests he is not serious about his career. Although he is only 34-years-old, don't expect much from Tua.
Don't hold your breath for Corrie Sanders either.After an absence of two years he returned with a set up type win this month over Danial Bispo but was in dreadful shape.At 39 with his past history of avoiding serious training he seems unlikely to make his mark again now. This former WBO champ with the big punch would like a return match with Wladimir Klitschko if you can believe him but few expect this to happen.
42-year-old former champ Oliver McCall is worth a mention here after his nice win this past weekend over fringe contender Sinan Samil Sam. Oliver was never really retired, just out of action for long periods throughout his career. He has been quite active with an 11-2 record since his latest return in April of 2003. His two losses to Juan Carlos Gomez and DaVarryl Williamson suggest he may have trouble with the top rated fighters who can move. It should be noted that the Gomez fight is still officially a loss according to Fite Fax. Oliver's checkered past make him a bit of a risk for promoters as well but he could still wind up getting a shot all the same.
Andrew Golota falls into the same category as Sanders. He KO'd Jeremy Bates in a return to the ring this month, but no one is taking him too seriously at 39 with all his past failures. He had also been away from boxing for two years.
Fres Oquendo, a former top contender, who gave both Chris Byrd and John Ruiz plenty of trouble in title fights, is another fighter that is back. He lost a close one to Holyfield and has three other wins, including his last bout with Damien Norris in May, a 6th round stoppage. At 34, he is still young enough but if he fell short when he was younger his chances now seem rather slim.
Finally, we have Joe Mesi, at 33 years the youngest of the come backers. We all know how Mesi was injured in his win over Vassiliy Jirov in March of 2004. After two years of striving to regain his license to fight, Mesi has managed to win six bouts against very soft opposition, all in places not known as main boxing states. None of the major states have yet agreed to let Joe fight. This would appear to be a large stumbling block even if you believe that Joe has the ability to win a title. Many, of course, believe Mesi has seen his best days or maybe never was that good. Anything could happen here from another injury to possible success. You just have to hope the news will not be bad. If he can get licensed in New York, a fight with Hasim Rahman would be a big draw. Time will tell.
In conclusion, I don't think any of these men are going to win a world title belt but I would not call their comebacks futile, at least not in all cases. They have stirred up some interest again, especially Holyfield and McCall. I just wish we would see some fights between these veterans and some of the young tigers coming up like Eddie Chambers, Chris Arreola, Kevin Johnson, Alex Povetkin, or Alex Dimitrenko. Then we would know more about what the future holds for the heavyweight division.

The Most Tweeted Newspaper Article In 2013
Research by Searchmetrics has identified which U.S. newspapers are the most popular on Twitter, based on how many tweets their stories garner.
The results might surprise you.
Research by Searchmetrics has identified which U.S. newspapers are the most popular on Twitter, based on how many tweets their stories garner.
The results might surprise you.
There is a lot of talk about how journalists are embracing Twitter, using it to sniff out new stories, verify facts, find sources, and promote their stories. However, it looks like there is a gap between the on-the-ground journalists and their editor overlords: only three editors of the top 10 newspapers in the United States have Twitter accounts.

If you've picked up a newspaper lately – especially a local one -you might notice that it's a little on the thin side. Newspapers have been hit hard with the advent of digital media, and it's only the big ones that have recently begun to adapt by erecting paywalls for their digital content. Part of the reason is that services like Twitter report the news first, but an even bigger chunk of newspapers' business could be captured by Twitter and eventually make them all but obsolete.
Read more
Newspapers have embraced Twitter in the past year or two, adding the microblogging service to their roster of online tools to help prop up their bottom line. Most use Twitter as a means of broadcasting their featured articles, but others have created separate Twitter accounts for each section of the paper, or use Twitter as a two-way communication tool with their readers.
The Wrap took a look at the top 25 newspapers on Twitter now compared to four months ago, to see how traditional media is faring in 140-characters or less.

On many occasions your otherwise fine publication will submit stories and articles to the internet, notably those that contain a series of images, and break these submissions over many pages. Often this can involve as many as ten clicks from the reader to get from start to finish.
This is not acceptable.
Recent examples: Time, The Telegraph, Wired.
We fully understand why you do this – more click-throughs mean more advertisement impressions with each new page and another chance that we might not completely ignore your sponsors and actually show an interest in what they are selling. But for the reader, and especially the linker, the most-likely result is we will become quickly aware of the game you are playing, and not bother to read past the first one or two pages. Quite simply, it's too much work. The story isn't that good.
Moreover, those of us who enjoy sharing great content with our friends on social networks will most likely refrain from doing so in these instances, simply because we do not want to have them endure the same experience. You may be blissfully unaware, but this is the age of social media. Websites and portals like Digg, Reddit, Delicious, Stumbleupon and Twitter can deliver an enormous amount of traffic to your publication. We presume you want and encourage this, particularly in the current financial climate.

I use NPS on server 2008 as my radius for wireless.
Hey ppl, just picking ur brain here. has anyone setup a radius/IAS server for your meru wireless network? What are the advantages/disadvantages if any for setting one up? Any advice and possibly a link to a 'how-to' would help me out greatly.
I use NPS on server 2008 as my radius for wireless.
Aye - same here.
NPS used for wireless and wired RADIUS...
What do you need to know?
from Network Policy Server
Network Policy Server (NPS) is the Microsoft implementation of a Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server and proxy in Windows Server 2008. NPS is the replacement for Internet Authentication Service (IAS) in Windows Server 2003.
Last edited by sparkeh; 3rd July 2012 at 03:55 PM.
Network Policy Server (NPS) is built into W2K8.
Setting it up is fairly straight forward - in a nutshell:
1. Add your RADIUS clients to NPS (e.g. the devices that are going to be doing the authentication on behalf of the clients. In this case I'm guessing it's your Meru controller)
2. Create a connection request policy (e.g. tell the NPS server that it will handle Radius requests from WiFi or wired clients)
3. Create a network policy - tell the NPS server who is allowed to be authenticated by it - I allow all "Domain Computers" to authenticate to my wireless network.
3a. I have other network policies for wired clients - these policies do clever things like dynamic VLAN assignment based on what AD group the computer account is in.
4. Configure the Meru box to use the NPS server for RADIUS.
5. That's about it!
Shout if you need any more specific pointers.
I had a brife flirt with Radius on a SUSE Server and Meru in order to have a captive portal, but we just use local users on the meru for the moment....
Something that may get revisited...
is this for Captive Portal? if so the client should connect to the SSID and only do radius when a web request is made.
Hi techie211, feel free to mail me directly email@example.com and I'll put you in touch with the right people
Many thanks

The nasal septum is the wall that separates the left and right nostrils. A centered septum allows air to flow equally through each nostril. In a deviated nasal septum, the wall is not centered.
A deviated septum may cause no symptoms at all. In severe cases, airflow through one or both nostrils may be blocked. A blocked nostril may cause chronic stuffiness and a tendency to get sinus infections.
Deviated Septum
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Causes include:
Risk factors include:
Symptoms include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will examine the nasal passages. A nasal speculum will hold the nose open. A thin telescope is passed into the nose.
Most people will not require treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be needed. Surgery on the septum alone is called septoplasty. It relieves nasal blockage by centering the septum between the two nostrils.
Sometimes surgery to reshape the nose ( rhinoplasty) is performed at the same time. The two procedures together are called septorhinoplasty. Children who need surgery usually wait until they have stopped growing, around age 16.

Omaha actor to appear on episode of 'Modern Family'
An actor from Omaha will make his debut on Wednesday's episode of ABC's "Modern Family."
Adam Devine grew up in Omaha and graduated from Millard South High School in 2002. He will play a nanny in the episode. He said producers wanted him to "act Midwestern."
Video: Omaha actor to appear on episode of 'Modern Family'
Devine will appear as a nice, accommodating nanny for Baby Joe and Manny.
"The producers were like that, 'You're from the Midwest, you have that vibe, bring it,'" Devine said.
Many don't realize what Devine went through as a child. At age 11, a cement truck hit him while he was crossing Harrison Street.
"I actually think getting hit by the cement truck helped me a lot, because I realized no one's going to hit the kid in the wheelchair" Devine said.
Devine spent a year learning to walk again. His mother, Penny, said humor helped Adam overcome the struggle.
"He didn't want to get picked on, so he used his sense of humor to develop personality even more," Penny said.
The humor paid off. In 2012 he had a role in the movie "Pitch Perfect." Since 2011, he has produced and stared in Workaholics on Comedy Central. Devine said he makes sure viewers know where he is from.

A magical transformation takes place in Danielle Steel's luminous novel: Strangers become roommates, roommates become friends, and friends become a family in a turn-of-the-century house in Manhattan's West Village.

WVHS Blue Devils set up Camp in Bruce
BRUCE — Water Valley sophomore wide receiver Cole Camp will be getting a few more high-fives around town this week.
Two seasons ago Camp was a team manager for the Blue Devils. This year though, he has emerged as a playmaker and it showed Friday night in his 84-yard game-winning touchdown catch to knock off Bruce 20-19 at Trojan Field. (more…) (September 12, 2011, Page 5B)

VARDAMAN — The Blue Devils can chalk up Friday's jamboree game as one 40-minute learning experience.

Blue Devils show another dimension
Water Valley didn't look like a football team that was out of its element this weekend. It was just the contrary.
The Blue Devils, known as a smash-mouth team that sprinkles in the passing game on offense, regrouped after losing its opening game to advance all the way to the Group B Championship Game of the O-Zone Classic 7-on-7 tournament hosted at FNC Park. (July 11, 2011, Page 7)

Indeed the remainder of the Playhouse season is comprised of tame audience-pleasers from years past, from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to The Buddy Holly Story and Alan Ayckbourn's Communicating Doors. This last choice was a mid-'90s hit in London's West End, but none of the three is the sort of work that will attract a new generation of theater fans. (Is it any wonder an innovator like Lily Tomlin couldn't sell tickets for more than one performance during a recent Miami visit?) Since the Playhouse already has people coming through the doors, why not show us something with more bite once in a while? And no, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, slated for the end of the season and based on the now passé Ken Kesey novel, does not count.

My mom is old and broke. She want's to sell her what I think is an 80 yr. old house in Minneapolis and move to an apartment. The house has a finished first floor, a semi-finished basement, an unfinished attic, and an attached narrow single car garage. She isn't tech savy and has asked me to help. I live overseas. We need help balancing what to fix for the house to sell higher, versus what to leave because the cost isn't worth the benefit. We'd have to borrow the money and pay back the loan when it sells. What kind of experts do I get to come to the house and advise us? We need someone to say "this will cost around this, and the sell price will raise around this". Here are the major issues I know about:
1. Settling. Floor has cracked and heaved up in the basement like a corner of the house has settled. Cinder block basement wall has cracked. Stucco has cracked along side of chimney up outside of house. Chimney crack is wide enough to see light through up in attic. Attached garage is separating from house.
2. Roof is beyond life expectancy and has lost shingles.
We appreciate any advice you may have,
Follow-Up Postings:
|Houses that need significant repair will be discounted in price by buyers based on the repairs required.
It can be a large hit if the repairs are viewed as expensive by the purchaser.
It will also reduce the number of potential buyers, sometimes significantly.
I have purchased many 'old lady' houses over the years.
The risk can be significant if you do not know what to look for, and many buyers will walk away rather than even consider a house needing significant repairs.
I have not been caught short in a long time due to experience.
Buyers will likely demand an inspection and then negotiate a price concession based on the estimated cost of repairs, if they do not walk first.
It WILL slow down the sale and drag things out.
You need to decide how much money you are willing to put into the place based on carrying costs.

|Is it on a good lot in a nice location? Are builders still doing tear downs in her neighborhood?
(Tear downs have slowed here, but still happening.) Around here, someone with a house like your mom's usually calls a few builders first, to see if they are interested in the lot. They buy as is, often without even going inside, because they just want the land.
Yes, I KNOW that this crummy market has slowed all this down, but it's still happening here so maybe there too? So if she's in a desirable neighborhood (nice streets, good schools, etc.) contacting local builders may be the best first step. Then you don't have to make any improvements. But everyone, builder or no, expects a bargain these days.

|You need to call a couple of local realtors and have them do a fair market value on the house as it exists, and a guess as to what it might bring when repaired. If the location is a good one, it might make more sense to market it as a teardown rather than as a residence. If the home is in poor repair in a low dollar area, then you're really not going to recuperate much in the way of repair expenses, and need to do the absolute minimal required to maintain a certificate of occupancy. That may mean that you "give" the home away at a very low price to account for it's defects. If the home is in a higher priced market and is considered an interesting style with many original features, then it may appeal to the old home lovers crowd, and you may be able to get by with just fixing the foundation and doing the roof because the new owners would want to do much of the work themselves. There are a lot of variables here, so you need the blunt opinion of several realtors as to whether or not it's worth putting any money into.
After you get the realtors opinions, call several home improvement contractors. Ask them what the home needs besides the obvious defects you've mentioned. (Is the electric panel too small, what about rusted out galvanized plumbing, termite infestations, etc.) There are some structural things that will need to be done in order to even put a home on the market, vs making it "remodeled" with cosmetic changes like painting the whole place. Get ready for sticker shock.
After you have both sides of the coin on the repairs vs current market value, then you can decide which route you want to take. If you have family here in this country that can help to deal with your mother on the downsizing/sentimental clutter issue that would be extremely helpful. If she's lived there a long time, she's apt to resist any changes to the home, and it might be more helpful if you were to relocate her to the end residence before you began any of the projects at the house.

|After posting I thought some more about this. First, a Google search will lead you to some local builders who buy land. (like this one: http://www.tollbrothers.com has a link at the top that says "We Buy Land")
But I also thought about you being out of the country and your mom being on her own. Please don't give out her address without at least an initial conversation. See if there is a trusted friend who can be with her when someone comes to look at the house. Someone from the local office on aging may be able to help or provide some advice. I just don't want to see your mom taken advantage of.
|First step is to hire a professional home inspector to perform a pre-sale inspection on the home as you are far more likely to get an accurate assessment than from a contractor who may be looking to up the cost. Minnesota does not license the profession, and be that as it may, you might be tempted to believe that a membership in ASHI, NACHI, NAHI etc is meaning..it is not. It is an honor system, and they verify nothing in terms of the HI's actual practice. IN addition, the never kick people out...
Best bet is to contact a local RE attorney and get a referral.
Make certain the the HI is licensed and/or trained (depending on state regulations) to perform wood destroying insect inspections and radon testing as these are all things that a buyer's HI will do.
Also, if the house has an underground oil tank, you will have to consider if you want to test for leaks or not. If you do, and it is leaking, clean up can be astronomical in cost. If its not leaking, best to remove it now before a buyer comes along and tests, and finds is leaking at that point.
Also, if it is not on public sewer and water, septic and well testing will be another issue. And, if on public sewer, many people now are having the sewer pipes to the street main scoped to see if they are intact...as that too is a hefty cost to replace.
After you find out the above info, you will be far better positioned to decide what you do and don't want to repair..if any.
You can then call the appropriate contractors to obtain specific estimates..and go from there.
Last but not least, as you are out of the country, you really need to hire a RE attorney to look after your mom's interests in this transaction.
Best wishes.

|I'm like Brickeyee--I like the old lady houses and have bought a few. If there are original features in this house that would attract people like me, such as the original woodwork, fireplaces, sinks, tile--anything older than 1950 I like--I would leave the whole thing and price it to reflect that. Even the junk. One of the best houses I bought was an estate sale and they left me everything. In exchange for cleaning out the junk, I got some good antiques and cool old things. I loved that. Actually, I prefer that they don't try to fix things and mess up something I might like. Not much scares me to repair when it's an old house other than a leaking underground oil tank. It sounds like you have structural damage. It may be fixable or it may be too far gone. I'd get that checked and it if was fixable, assuming you have some original features, I'd price the house accordingly and then market it to the people who love the old lady houses. Hopefully you have someone who can help you with this. I haven't looked in a long time but there used to be a pretty good website for old houses that you could put it on. I'll post the address below.

|You got a real problem on your hands. You have to disclose everything that is wrong and it is best to not try and hide anything. A pre-sale inspection is a great idea to give you a complete list of problems. Get 3 estimates from General Contractors with a complete list of repairs required and cost estimate. Also, I would guess some things might have to be brought up to code. Bounce the cost of repair vs any potential gain. You might end up fixing it up and being stuck with it. I would take the estimated repair list, subtract that cost from the comp. price and sell it as is. If you walk away with some money good for you. If not, that is life, move on.
|"Also, I would guess some things might have to be brought up to code. "
Existing houses are grandfathered for just about every major code change.
If they co,plied with the code in efffect whan they were built, they comply now.
There have been a few exceptions.
Many localities have required all kitchen counter receptacles to be GFCI protected, but this is actually just a matter of swapping in a GFCI receptacle. No rewiring is required.
Even knob & tune (K&T) wiring remains code compliant if it has not been modified or messed around with (thoughy some insurance companies have refused to insure houses with K&T).
A lot of purchasers seem to be under the impression that they are purchasing a 'new' house and that everything must be updated to the latest revision of all the codes.
Existing houses are not new.

|Seems like the work you are outlining is a fairly significant problem and will be costly to remedy. My advice would be to contact at least 3 real estate agents to take a tour and get their opinion on selling price. I think they will recommend selling as is.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
MGT Capital Investments
An under-$10 name in the technology complex that's trading very close to triggering a major breakout is MGT Capital Investments (MGT), which, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a medical technology company focusing on medical imaging software development and medical hardware devices.
If you take a look at the chart for MDT Capital Investments, you'll see that this stock has been uptreending very strong late-March, since this stock has skyrocketed from a low of $1.31 to a recent high of $6.50 a share. During that monster move to the upside, shares of MGT have consistently made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. This stock also just started to trigger a near-term breakout trade Wednesday once it took out some resistance at $4.98 with heavy volume. That move is now pushing MGT within range of triggering another major breakout trade.
Market players should now look for long-biased trades in MGT if it can manage to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $6.45 to $6.50 a share with high volume. Look for volume off a sustained move or close above those levels that hits near or above its three-month average action of 42,402 shares. If we get that action soon, then MGT could easily be on its way towards $10 to $13 a share.I would look to buy MGT off any weakness and simply use a stop right around Wednesday's low of $4.05 a share. You could also just buy off strength as long as MGT is trending above $4.98 a share, and then add once it takes out $6.45 to $6.50 a share with high volume. Simply use a stop that's a few percentage points below $4.98 if you buy off strength.

Reinventing Allegory
by Theresa M. Kelley
This prescription tells the story that is otherwise well hidden in Neoclassical discussions of why allegory should be excluded from the epic and all similarly historical genres. Invoking the first and most-quoted advocate of this principle, the Abbé Dubos, Quatremère de Quincy objected to using allegorical figures to represent the history of the Revolution, and Jacques-Louis David deplored the use of "odious allegories" in the public funeral/revolutionary festival staged to honor Jacques Simonneau, the mayor of Etampes who was lynched by rioting peasants.[35]
Yet festival organizers like Quincy and David could hardly represent the Revolution without allegory. More than the living tableau of the English Williams speaking for and as Liberty, monumental allegorical statues and spectacles provided the ideal, larger-than-life images the Revolution needed.
At times those allegorical images reflect Neoclassical values, much as David, throughout his writings, used emblematic moments like the oath of the Horatii or even (when it became necessary to invent emblems for the Revolution) the death of Marat to convey a view of history that is essentially static and memorial. Some images, like those that appear on the playing cards St. Simon devised for a new political culture, veer away from Neoclassical assumptions about history as well as allegory. In a 1789 engraving titled "L'Hydre Aristocratique," the eponymous Aristocracy is a colossal figure described as "male and female" (so much for the momentary exhilaration of a female Liberté) who is losing its heads, blow by blow (fig. 7). Unlike the classical historical moment David preferred to depict or create (The Death of Marat), the moment of this engraving is the present, the action ongoing. Beside the ramparts of a Bastille that is still standing, Frenchmen repel the Aristocracy. This is no task for a single Hercules; moreover, since many heads, some with ecclesiastical hats, remain, the French have more collective labors to perform. A prostrate human figure in the foreground who wears robes that display the royal fleur-de-lis still has his head. This 1789 engraving is a prospective warrant of choices that may lie just ahead, as indeed they did. Unlike Michelet's vision of history as a unified narrative in which the future and the past and the Revolution itself articulate a coherent, progressive evolution,[36]
here an allegorical image specifies early stages in a radical series of changes that promises to be violent and to require many French hands (and heads).
In the opening stanzas of France: An Ode, first published in 1798 with the title The Recantation: An Ode, Coleridge casts revolutionary France in the image of a colossal allegorical figure:
Elsewhere he views allegory with more fear than hope. The young poet who imagined France in much the same way revolutionary festivals imagined her, Liberty, and other allegorical virtues was even then more likely to plot allegorical characters and narratives along Neoclassical lines. It is little wonder that Addison's "Vision of Mirzah" looks like a template for Coleridge's "Allegoric Vision," composed in 1795 and subsequently revised with different audiences in mind. When it was used as the preface to Coleridge's first theological lecture, its satiric target was the Church of England. In 1811 it was published in Courier;
by then its target was the Church of Rome. In the version he adapted for its 1817 publication with A Lay Sermon, it takes aim at the "falsehood of extremes."[37]
Although the allegorical referent shifts from one version to the next, all these versions would have satisfied the sternest Neoclassical critic. Firmly reined in by the speaker of the "Vision" and easily matched to well-identified (albeit shifting) targets, Coleridge's allegory never strays into the hazard zone where allegorical ideas meet colossal forms that move, but move "not like living men." Precisely because she does move and act, the figure of revolutionary France in his 1798 ode suggests a measure of what Coleridge learned to fear about an allegorical figure so engaged in bodily and narrative movement and fury that she might do some real damage. For this figure, like the Revolution it represents, is caught in the folds of allegory's ancient and modern alliance with phantasia and its English cognates, among them "fancy" (the chief antagonist) and those dream-like shapes or images produced by fancy when thinly disguised as "phantasms." Coleridge's writing is studded with recognitions of this alliance, although he is mostly vigiliant about giving it prejudicial treatment. In "The Eolian Harp" the speaker half-chides his "many idle flitting phantasies." Heavily ventriloquized by the speaker, his imagined female interlocutor more harshly indicts them as "shapings of the ungenerate mind," a formulation that retains the ancient and Miltonic identification of such shapes with phantasia (Coleridge 101-2). When the speaker of Dejection: An Ode declares that he has lost his "shaping spirit of Imagination," Coleridge reinstates phantasia in a covert operation with a built-in sting (Coleridge 366). The Mariner of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner invokes the etymological affiliation of "shape" with phantasia and Milton's allegorical "shapes" of Sin and Death: "a certain shape, I wist. / A speck, a mist, a Shape, I wist"; "full many Shapes, that shadows were" (Coleridge 192, 205). In the Biographia Literaria Coleridge mocks the reading habits of those who visit the circulating libraries by comparing the scene to "the moving phantasms of one man's delirium" (BL1:48n.). And in notes for lectures he delivered in 1818 and 1819, he insists that the pleasure he finds in Spenser's vivid, dream-like images, the poetic equivalent of rhetorical phantasia, has nothing to do with the allegory.[38]
This last assertion is unpersuasive but not unimportant, for it implicitly acknowledges, among other effects, that together allegory and phantasia make it possible to figure people as things. This figurative move might easily be diverted to justify using people as things - a possibility writ grotesquely large in the phantasmagorias, automatons, and freak shows of early nineteenth-century London.[39]
To put this anxiety in more explicitly philosophical terms: allegory is an intransigeant reminder of the unremitting problem of universals and their material or figural substantiation. Coleridge tries to resolve this problem by claiming that the imagination and the symbol together supervise the transcendent passage between universals and particulars, whereas fancy works entirely within the realm of material and human particulars (BL 1:82-83). The flaw hidden in this assertion is exposed in the Logic when he considers how theorizing and abstraction become so passionate in early revolutionary France that they produce "glowing figures of fancy" (Logic 242-43).[40]
A similarly unwanted conjunction persists in the midst of Coleridge's most prodigious efforts to separate "idea" from the material and sensorial fetters of its Aristotelian identification with phantasia (Logic 236-38;
For reasons that are peculiarly his own but which Romantic and post-Romantic culture absorbed, Coleridge's uneven declarations about symbol and allegory (stronger in some texts than others and stronger in 1816-18 than before or after) silently recognize that the problem with allegory is not that it is stiff or fixed, but that it is involved in the philosophical difficulties I have outlined.[41]
Because allegory transforms persons into personifications and abstractions, Coleridge wants to bar it from the workings of the transcendent imagination. By the same logic, the symbol is the positive sign of much that he requires. These assumptions constitute Coleridge's "Gordian knot" - a tightly implicated nest of problems that cannot be fully unravelled without disturbing his idealist and Kantian reply to empiricist and Humean principles of knowledge and personhood.
Yet his anti-allegorical stance is disturbed by what Jerome Christensen calls "the symbol's errant allegory" - Coleridge's penchant for revising texts and ideas over time, undoing some arguments on the way to others. It is also disturbed by the argumentative path of the Biographia Literaria, which assumes that the task of telling one's life history requires a recognition of its temporalities. This recognition, evidently akin to de Man's understanding of poetic temporality, is also at work in revisions of the Rime, which collectively dramatize the unlikelihood of a coherent symbolic universe.[42]
The central text in de Man's analysis of this errant allegory is Coleridge's "Statesman's Manual" defense of the "translucence" of the symbol ("SM," Lay Sermons 30). If the symbol allows us to see through its visible and cultural shape to apprehend its meaning, this hermeneutic activity, de Man observes, looks very much like that of allegory as a figure that always refers beyond itself. On these grounds, he charges Coleridge with "ontological bad faith."[43]
In the broader set of discriminations between Romanticism and modernity inaugurated by this critique, de Man takes skeptical aim at the project Coleridge defends with every philosophical argument and seeming digression: his belief that persons can write and live authentic and coherent histories. From this vantage point, poet and critic are uncannily well-matched antagonists. For de Man as for Benjamin, allegory is the necessary angel of ruin, historical fragmentation, and commodifying energies that turn persons into abstractions and things. On similar grounds but for contrary reasons, allegory is the demon figure Coleridge hopes to cast aside lest it undermine the coherence of persons and of the Scriptures as true revelations and histories.
Writing against early nineteenth-century assaults on claims for the historical reality of Scripture, Coleridge requires the simultaneity of the symbol to argue that biblical texts are historical narratives which convey the continuous truth of revelation. By the same logic, allegory, or "allegorism" as he and Blake also call it, undermines the truth of Scripture by making it merely the vehicle, not the substance of revealed truth and genuine history. For all these reasons, the distinction between symbol and allegory matters more to Coleridge than it does to his German contemporaries, who eventually adopt either term to describe qualities formerly assigned to the other.[44]
I rehearse these familiar objections because they indicate the broader set of philosophical difficulties that accrue to allegory as a figure that deals in abstractions and generalities. This alliance is evidently not news, for Coleridge or for us, but it offers an unexpected point of entry into those philosophical convictions he defends against modes of thought whose unacknowledged metafigure is allegory. The deep logic of Coleridge's resistance to allegory begins with his beleaguered definition of idea. Much of what he asserts about this term can be found scattered or collected in the "Statesman's Manual," his early lectures on literature, and Biographia Literaria. The somewhat later Logic, a redaction of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, gives Coleridge ample opportunity to explain how his Kantian, idealist, and Platonic understanding of idea challenges early modern versions of Aristotle's definition of ideai as notions derived from sense impressions. As marketed by empiricist or, as Coleridge calls them, "experimental" philosophers, the term idea is lodged in the experience of the material and phenomenal world, not the transcendent reality that is for Coleridge the only possible ground for thought. In the Logic he insists to the contrary that the idea is "anterior to all image" and for this reason has nothing in common with abstraction or generality, which extract principles from images and things (63). In the form given this argument in the Biographia Literaria, he explicitly opposes this claim to Aristotle's On the Soul consideration of ideas that might follow from the perception of visual images or shapes. Coleridge's more immediate target is the empiricist and skeptical use of Aristotle's On the Soul to argue that sense impressions lead, albeit in complex ways, to ideas in the mind (BL 1:98).

Rome is not afraid to overdo it. There are clashing swords, flashing robes, and humming markets. There's a bounty of flesh: screwing, bathing, bouncing, writhing. And there's a load of exposition, so much that Rome sometimes feels like it was written by a particularly awful color commentator who won't shut up and let us enjoy the game. Odd, since the premise of HBO's 12-part series is pretty simple: It is 52 B.C. Gaius Julius Caesar (Ciarán Hinds), beloved after his eight-year war in Gaul, is back to challenge Senate leader Pompey Magnus (Kenneth Cranham) for control of Rome. Meanwhile, two of Caesar's soldiers, roguish Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson) and surly family man Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd), have returned home to basically provide reg'lar-guy story lines for those of us who are scared of history.
I will say it once, and then be done: I, Claudius, the BBC miniseries that aired in the States in 1977, is the best program ever set in ancient Rome and it rarely left the palace walls. That's because writer Jack Pulman (working from Robert Graves' novels) knew that the treacherous, decadent royals were where the action was. The common-man approach can work it did in Gladiator but it ignores the drama inherent to the period. It's like Dynasty focusing on the groundskeeper and his haggard wife while we can see Alexis and Krystle ripping out fistfuls of each other's hair in the background. (That show didn't get good either till they dropped Krystle's lower-class backstory and got fizzily mansion-centric.)
That said thank you, I do feel better Rome throws in plenty of soapiness to keep us invested in Vorenus' story. His wife (Indira Varma), for instance, may have been unfaithful while he was away. But things don't perk up until episode 3, when the belabored battle talks lessen and posh, acidic Polly Walker (Control) gets going as Julius Caesar's niece Atia. She's a wealthy, scheming mother of two who regularly beds Mark Antony (gnashing James Purefoy) and coerces her wimpy son, Octavian (Master and Commander's Max Pirkis), into eating manly-making goat balls in hopes he'll start exhibiting signs of greatness. For his part, the young actor's work is cause for optimism: One of the best reasons to watch Rome, Pirkis looks like an impish Doogie Howser, B.C., and he makes Octavian petulant, curious, and remorseless as a child god.
Rome is most entertaining when it laces its wild, ancient antics with winks of the pedestrian: It's amusing to watch poor Octavian forced to join the goat-testes Clean Plate Club under his scolding mother's gaze. But it's simply fantastic when Atia, her house besieged by Pompey's men and her guests ready to commit honor-preserving suicide, whips into Martha Stewart mode. Like a good hostess casually taking drink orders, she wanders among her guests asking who will kill whom. ''Castor, be sure to cut Octavia's throat before you cut mine,'' she huffs after her bitter teenage daughter refuses to expose her throat to Mum. Not since poisonous monarch Livia suggested her son avoid the figs has there been such lovely understatement attached to such monstrous doings.

In Waukegan, it's all about the planes.
Crowds at the 14th annual Wings Over Waukegan Air Show can keep their eyes locked on the sky the first weekend of September as vintage planes will fly over the Waukegan National Airport. Attendees also can check out wing walkers, skydivers and watch the popular wall of fire that ends the show.
"The kids love it and the adults love it too," air show president Grant Farrell said of the wall of fire, which actually is a simulated bomber run. "You can feel the heat, it's a lot of fun."
The entire lineup of aerial festivities will commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
"We will have two P-51's, which were the planes that were actually up in the air during the invasion. It's a salute to D-Day," Farrell said of the day the Allies invaded Western Europe in World War II.
The event begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, with tours of many of the planes that are part of the Warbird Heritage Foundation, which based at the airport, 3550 N. McAree Road in Waukegan. The cost is $10, and the aerial show follows at noon and runs to 4 p.m. with the field closing an hour later. Food and beverages will be available, but no alcohol is allowed. For more information go to www.Waukeganairshow.com.
"It's a great community event, it's reasonably priced, it introduces our youth to aviation to maybe inspire them to maybe seek a career in aviation," said Jim Stanczak, who has managed the Waukegan National Airport for the past 12 years.
Farrell added that before the big birds fly, remote-controlled airplane models from R/C Fly Club out of Chicago will be showcased at 11:45 a.m.
"They're a pretty good size," he said of the models. "They have little jet engines."
The Warbird Heritage Foundation will also have some of its old planes up and flying for spectators.
Paul Wood of Lake Forest, one of the foundation's founders, expressed excitement over old planes that cover three eras: World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
"All of these airplanes had significant roles to play in each conflict," he said.
On Wednesday, he showed off the bright yellow, open cockpit of the N2S-3 Stearman, in which a great majority of military pilots first trained. Then he explained the role of the AD-1 Skyraider that bristled with weaponry and was used in the Korean War and beginning of the Vietnam War. It was the backbone of the Navy carrier force, he said, explaining that it could fly longer distances than jet fighters because of a 1,000 drop gas tank. It was famously used to escort helicopters when they went to pick up marines, Wood added.
The AD-1 Skyraider carried 250-pound bombs, 100-pound bombs, a wing gun and a Gatling-type gun that could be used to strafe enemy positions. It also had tubes that held small explosives like grenades that would fall out of the back to hit their targets.
"It's very rare to have any of these vintage planes actually fly," said Wood, but the foundation's team of aircraft mechanics keep them in flying shape.
While the P-51 Mustang helped change the air war over Europe in World War II, Wood said it was the F86-Sabre that had the best kill ratio for air-to-air combat.
"It can break the sound barrier, but we don't do that," Wood said. "It was the first swept wing fighter and to this day it has the highest kill ratio in air-to-air combat at 8-to-1.
Organizers are expecting between 15,000 and 20,000 people to attend.

You would know if been chosen as it has to be very public etc
Nottingham City has (supposedly) chosen it's preferred bidder but the chances of us being told are slim.....they like us to know as little as possible.
I've tried the BSF and council website and nothing there. Is there anywhere that lists which preferred bidders were chosen by which authorities?
Just curious as to who our new fuhrers will be.
You would know if been chosen as it has to be very public etc
The company involved usually proudly issues a press release exclaiming the fact they've been chosen. Check the websites of the companies that have been short listed as bidders.
I suspect the reason it is not yet public domain will be due to legal reasons such as getting the paperwork and terms & conditions sorted and agreeing a formal joint press release.
Both the LA and the successful bidder will want to say how wonderful it will all be........
well, we weren't even told the shortlisted bidders, as we kept getting told "i've had to sign a disclosure saying i wont say who the bidders are for confidentiality reasons"
i'd have been happier if they just said 'why should you care, you wont have a job here soon'
it's definitely been sorted as we were told they were making a decision last week of last term, so possibly paperwork and t&c like broc says.
As per this document:
The bidders are the following:
Inspired Spaces
Investors in the Community
Transform Schools
Vinci Investments
Geoff, this just goes to show how well we are thought of in this school. We were told that the shortlist can't be disclosed for confidentiality. Obviously more BS. I've looked on Miller and Transform School sites and neither mention it, so I'm assuming its Inspired Spaces.
But of course it can't be confirmed or I'd have to sign the secrecy act and then be shot
Which school are you from btw? I can probably find out what's planned to happen to it.
Hadden Park High School.
The proposed plans are to turn this into a sort of super campus, encompassing us, the primary school, the special school, the sports stadium, a police station, the lot.
We were initially told it was going to be complete rebuild but its now completing 'refurbishment' of the building.
If you know anything on the IT side, do tell Or PM if necessary.
The shortlist *has* to be publically announced as part of the process ... this is to give people a chance to challenge. If you are not happy that the process has been transparent then you can report this back to P4S ... beware ... politics will happen.
Also check that it was not just a case that *you* weren't told ... but if someone in Manglement had asked they would have been.
GD: Our boss, the head of IT was involved in all the BSF meetings and marking of the bidders etc. When she came back from the meeting my immediate boss (senior tech) and I asked her what bidders were chosen and were told we cant be told anything as its confidential. She said she couldn't tell us which companies or what each company was proposing in terms of keeping technical staff on.
It wasn't a case of us asking and management not. It was us asking a person who had sat in the meeting when they must have said 'the preferred bidders are x x and x' and then told us they are sworn to secrecy.
I'm not bothered to be honest, if I'm going to leave, I will, which bidder is chosen won't mean the difference in me staying or going.
I think it stems from the fact that when my boss and I said we were unhappy with the whole BSF thing so would probably look for other work because chances are we'll be outsourced or have very little server work here, the school thought that the less they tell us then the less we can use for leaving.
Our head promised us on about 5 occasions that our contracts would stay with the school, 100% guarantee, then asking him again sometime earlier this year he said 'well yes it might change'.
They do not want us to know stuff in case we say 'sod it I'm off then'
As per this document:
Your school is listed as being given a 'Refurbish'.
As for specific IT stuff, there is a little hint in that document as to a working group being setup to produce a output specification. I suggest you attempt to find out who is on this working group, and if this output specification has been finalised.
The 'group' that was set up to decide what was needed I believe included the head of IT here who, from my previous post, was the one who told us we can't know the bidders. Our input to this was asking the questions like 'what will our roles be, will we be at the school or roaming' etc. She asked the questions, got vague answers and then said she couldn't tell us those answers either.
The problem with being involved in things like this is that you *do* get told by the Chair or Exec that you are not allowed to discuss things until it is made public. This really does mean that she could not say anything to you. However, when it was made public then she could have had a decent chat with you about it ... presuming she was aware that is was now public. I know of some tenders where people involved had kept quiet for weeks, only to find that a press announcement had already been made and they had not been told.
Don't forget to factor in the stupidity of committees into all this ... when it comes to keeping people informed, every presumes someone else is doing it!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
IRAN/ISRAEL - US leader needs Israel's support to win second presidential poll - Iran leader
Released on 2012-10-16 17:00 GMT

Iranian Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamene'i has said that US President
Barack Obama needs to get money and support of "Zionist companies" in
his bid win a second term in the upcoming US presidential election. He
made this remark while addressing a ceremony to open the Fifth
International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada in
Tehran, which was carried live by Islamic Republic of Iran's state news
channel (IRINN) on 1 October.
"The US president says that [the issue of] security of Israel is his red
line [for him, which cannot be crossed]. What was the reason for drawing
this red line? Was it the interests of the American people or Obama's
personal need to get money and support from Zionist companies in his bid
to become president for the second time?" Khamene'i said.
