As only 40% of American actually voted, and the almost 50/50 result suggests that approx. 20% of the population made a clear statement about supporting the POTUS and his party. Like wise, only 20% give or take supported the opposition. All the 60% who didn't vote either decided they couldn't be bothered to vote, couldn't, or too young.
Either way, your statement leaves me doubting it's veracity.
315,393,565 total population of the US
2012 Turnout : 126,838,980
126,838,980/315,393,565 x 100% = 40.2% of the population.

Katee Sackhoff is the voice behind EVE Valkyrie
EVE Fanfest's keynote on Thursday was dedicated to EVE Valkyrie, and CCP revealed it has finally pinned a voice for soon-to-be virtual reality dogfighters to listen to. Katee Sackhoff will assume the role of Rán, the Valkyrie that's heard throughout the game.
The announcement should resonate with fans of the sci-fi setting, as Sackhoff is best known for her part as Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace on Battlestar Galactica. She's also been involved in Riddick, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
According to CCP, the list of actresses it considered were short, and Sackhoff was a perfect fit. "Not only does she have a track record in bringing strong female characters to life, but also once she had played Valkyrie, I was delighted to see that she was as excited and enthused about the project as we are," said executive producer Owen O'Brien.
Not much is known about the lore of Valkyrie at this point, but the pieces surrounding the game are starting to come together. Now, we know there will be a familiar voice guiding us along.
This is the thought process behind making EVE Valkyrie

DENVER - A United Airlines jetliner hit severe turbulence while flying over Kansas, injuring 30 and jolting one woman out of her seat so forcefully that she left a crack when she hit the side of the cabin, authorities and a witness said.
The Tuesday flight was the airline's third this year during which passengers were hurt because of turbulence.
The flight originated at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C., and was headed to Los Angeles. It was diverted to Denver International Airport, where it landed safely around 7:45 p.m. and was met by medical crews, Denver Fire Department spokesman Eric Tade said.
Twenty-six passengers and four crew members were injured, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor in Los Angeles said. He said one person was critically hurt, but he released no further details.
Officials said many of the injured were taken to hospitals with only moderate injuries.
At least 14 were released by Wednesday morning and at least two others were hospitalized overnight. The status of the others wasn't immediately available.
Nine had neck and back injuries. Hospitals declined to release the nature of the other injuries.
"There are mostly walking injuries," Tade told The Denver Post. He said the injuries included bruises, whiplash, strains and sprains.
Some passengers were placed on another flight to Los Angeles that arrived there just before midnight.
Flight 967 was flying over Kansas at an altitude of about 34,000 feet when it hit the heavy turbulence, said FAA spokesman Mike Fergus. It was carrying 255 passengers and 10 crew members.
The turbulence was "just a huge up and down," said passenger Kaoma Bechaz, a 19-year-old Australian in the United States visiting her boyfriend.
Bechaz told the Post that the woman sitting next to her hit her head on the side of the cabin, leaving a crack above the window, and a girl across the aisle flew into the air and hit the ceiling.
Bechaz said she wasn't thrown around because her seat belt was tight.
The crew decided land the Boeing 777 in Denver to tend to the injured, United Airlines spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said.
A 12-year-old was taken to Children's Hospital in Aurora, but a spokeswoman there didn't know the nature of the child's injury.
The seven patients taken to Denver Health _ all women _ were being evaluated but likely would be treated and released Tuesday night, spokeswoman Dee Martinez said. Three people went to Swedish Hospital in Englewood with moderate injuries, spokeswoman Julie Lonborg said.
Two people were treated and released from the University of Colorado Hospital and two others were being evaluated, spokeswoman Erika Matich said.
Tim Smith of Boulder was on United Flight 937, which also flew into Denver from Washington on Tuesday and landed after the diverted plane. He said his flight was delayed because of thunderstorms but didn't have any problems.
Smith saw ambulances and police cars surrounding a gate on the tarmac and one person on a stretcher when his plane taxied to the gate.
"Thank God I wasn't on that flight," Smith said.
Inspectors found "no obvious damage" to the diverted plane's exterior, Gregor said. They also found nothing wrong during a preliminary look at the plane's interior. But Fergus said the incident would be a "front-burner item" for both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
In February, about 20 people were hurt when a United flight with 263 people onboard experienced turbulence halfway through a 13-hour trip from Washington, D.C., to Tokyo.
In May, 10 people suffered injuries, including broken bones, on a United flight that hit severe turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean on its way from London to Los Angeles. The Boeing 777 was diverted to Montreal.
Associated Press writers Judith Kohler and Thomas Peipert in Denver and Denise Petski in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Over the past week I have consistantly had problems with my friends being online, and even sending messages to me, but my friends list still shows them as offline. It has happened multiple times, and I didnt see another thread mentioning it.
So its either A) a problem with PvP.net and I can provide any additional information if you are looking into the problem or
B) its a problem on my end and I was wondering if anybody could help me fix it.
I've had issues too! I think everyone has, but it's really annoying.
The only thing I've found to fix it, is to log out and back in.
Junior Member
same here
I have done the same, but its not a very good long term solution. I did have one friend who I had to remove from my friends list and re-add to get him to show up as online, but this may have been a different issue entirely.
I dont have a lot of friends in the game, and most of them I usually talk to before hand and plan to meet up in game / use vent. So this isn't a huge problem for me, but I can imagine the headache somebody would have if they have a large friend list and their main communication with them is in game.
I know this happens after playing a game (whether normal or practice), when one of the person you played with is on your buddy list. It seems that, after showing the scoreboards and end-game chat room, clicking on the 'return to lobby' button makes the game consider you've left/logged out. I don't know how pvp works in the background, but it seems that it's not rejoining the right channel when it should be.
If you want to quickly fix this, try to start a normal or practice game. The lobby MUST be started in order for you to appear as back online. This means you have to go further than the first 'team size, map choice ...'-screen. Still annoying but not as tedious as restarting the whole thing...

What Did You Learn This Year?
Mar 4, 2014
General Nonsense
Sometimes I think the only dimension of performance that a manager should measure is how much each employee is learning. Most people are intrinsically motivated to do good work. The trick is in knowing how. So the more you know, the more likely you'll perform well. And people who are proactive learners probably have the most potential even if they aren't yet superstars.
How relevant to the job does the learning need to be? I would be generous about that. The nature of knowledge is that everything you learn stimulates and strengthens your mind. And what we experience as creativity is often little more than our brain's natural impulse to combine and compare knowledge from diverse fields. So the more you know, the more powerful your creative potential.
But beyond all of those benefits is my observation that employees who are still learning are almost always happier on the job. I haven't seen any studies on this point, but I'll bet you'd see low turnover among people who feel they are learning. Learning makes people feel connected and engaged. It feels like improvement and growth, and it's good for the ego.
As a manager, you'd still need to fire the total screw-ups and toxic employees. But among the good-enough performers, an appetite for learning probably separates the best from the average.
I've blogged before that I pick projects based on what I will learn. This year was especially educational for me. A few examples...
- I wrote and acted in a
promotional video
for my book. I learned what works on camera and what doesn't. I learned how the audience reacts to different approaches. And I learned a lot about the actual technique of short video production. If you asked me to make another promotional video tomorrow, I'd be far better equipped.
- I created a
Slideshare presentation
Rexi Media
and learned a great deal about the science of making things memorable and interesting. Every bit of that has crossover usefulness.
- I went back on the speaking circuit, but this time with a useful message (success) as opposed to my old just-for-laughs speech. Delivering a motivational message is an entirely different skill. (
See a video of it here
.) My old speech was essentially stand-up comedy with comics.
- I went on a book publicity tour and learned what types of publicity work best in 2014. For example, these days a book signing has little impact on book sales whereas doing a Reddit AMA is a big deal.
- I'm starting a Dilbert.com redesign project and learning about the best ideas in website design for 2014.
- My partners and I launched
this year. I was hands-on for every phase, including concept, design, user interface, testing, redesign, setting up the corporation, funding, online marketing, A-B testing, and tons more. And I picked up a lot of technology knowledge by osmosis. (And because I know you are wondering, yes, the experience is a source of Dilbert fodder.)
- I finished writing my latest book (
How to Fail...
). The "success" genre was new to me as a writer. And I had to learn a lot to tie it all together with research and references. I worked with a medical doctor who specializes in science research to get the science parts right.
- I tried out a new comic strip on this blog (Robots Read News) and learned a lot by experiment. For example, I learned that readers didn't care that the art in each panel was identical.
- I'm teaching myself to play drums. (Technically, a stranger on Youtube is teaching me). I have no end goal. I just enjoy hitting things with sticks, and I have discovered that it lights up a part of my brain that I don't normally stimulate. Five minutes of drumming feels like two cups of coffee.
- I experimented with becoming a well-dressed person, just to see what that was all about. Historically, my normal look would have been described as sort of an athlete-turned-homeless vibe. But thanks to a clever Macy's salesperson I upped my game. Result: Yes, people treat me differently (and better) when I'm stylishly dressed.
- This week I've been researching hardware to split a component video signal and convert one output into a wireless HDMI extender to another room. It doesn't matter why. All that matters is that I learned a lot in the process.
- Blogging is an ongoing learning process. I learn (usually the hard way) which writing approaches work and which ones get me in trouble. And after almost every blog post readers send me links to related and fascinating topics. The entire process is hugely educational.
The list goes on, but you get the idea. For me, learning is living. It's how I feel connected to the world, and I think it's my best strategy for being a productive citizen. Best of all, as a cartoonist, each of these experiences fuels the creative fires.
I'm curious to see what you learned this year. Please list a few things if you have a minute.

Wow, you summed up my job: I've come to enjoy it less because there is little learning happening, and few opportunities for it. Anything I learn right now is self directed, and far more interesting than anything I do for a living.
Unfortunately, what I'm learning doesn't pay nearly as well :p

This year I leaned
1. That writing a hypothesis is hard.
2. How to write and Edit Motorola 68hc908 assembly language for a fuel injection system I built for a 42 year old volkswagen.
3. How to work on 2 stroke engines.
4. That 160/110 blood pressure is really high for a persons my age. Im not overweight... And I work out every other day.

In the past year, I have learned how to succeed in sales. As an engineer, it has not been an easy transition - it took a while to learn to uncover and appeal to emotional reasons to buy, rather than resort to my default approach of beating the prospect over the head with logic.
I also learned (or confirmed what I had expected) that a switch to sales would be extremely liberating. From a tactical standpoint, nobody cares when or if I am in the office, as long as my numbers are good. From a strategic standpoint, I spend less time worrying about job security - because if my current employer makes the unlikely decision to part with my revenue stream, I am fairly confident I can find another taker. Beats the hell out of year-end reviews and groveling to the pointy haired boss.
I also learned that I am an idiot for not making this switch 20 years ago.

My response will be boring, so don't read it - I just feel an urge to respond.
This year so far I have learnt (why "learnt is in red, I thought it was correct past participle, oh, whatever) a lot about XX-th century history of Latin America. No connections to my profession, not likely to come up in a social encounter, and anyway - I am seriously contemplating suicide, so it does not matter. Yet learning feels so good. .

My learning has been a bit slow this past year. Mostly, I'm trying to do the things I already do, better. I started down the path to get my Pilot's license and took ground school. Otherwise, I've really been just trying to keep my head above water.

I learnt a few things so far this year. Here are top three:
1. The noisy WikiLeaks could not do what silent inter-government intelligence has done against global corruption networks in less than an year.
2. The US is finally working on the evidence that inflationary surplus is not real cash-flow and cannot be neutralized by war. The excess cannot be weeded out by central banks.
3. And lastly, I learnt that there is nothing funny about politics if you are serious about it.

Scott, I think you're going to enjoy the drumming. I am guessing this will fit your personality well. I picked up the drums in 2002. Great.

Oh, Scott. You're setting yourself up for this one. What have I learned? About you? A LOT!
As I've said before, it's like the old recipe for bear stew: "First, shoot a bear."
Your ideas seem to relate only to people like you. So in the Adams world, the recipe is, "First, become independently wealthy."
Let us take this idea to a thought experiment. Let us listen in on an imaginary conversation between a sales manager and his sales employee:
Manager: "Scott, you're at 4% of quota. Your performance is unsatisfactory."
Scott: "You are incorrect. I have reallly learned a lot this year."
Manager: "Excuse me?"
Scott: "Everyone knows that a sales quota is a goal, and that goals are, forgive me, BS."
Manager: "What?"
Scott: "Systems lead to success, not goals. Goals are limiting."
Manager: "So what system do you think you have mastered? By your logic, shouldn't that have led to getting more sales?"
Scott: "Absolutely not. You obviously don't understand the concept. My system is to try a bunch of different things at which I'll fail, but will learn important lessons and give me knowledge that will help me in the future."
Manager: "Really. So tell me what you've learned this past year."
Scott: "Well, I have started to learn to play the drums."
Manager: "And that helps your sales performance how?"
Scott: "The benefits are not tied to a specific area. They all make me a more valuable employee because my knowledge set has increased."
Manager: "Really. Well, what else have you learned?"
Scott: "Let's see. . . I wrote and acted in a video. Then, I created a slideshow in partnership with a media company. And I tried to dress better, but that didn't really work. And I wrote a book. I worked with some other people to launch a website. Oh, and here's a big one: This week I've been researching hardware to split a component video signal and convert one output into a wireless HDMI extender to another room. It doesn't matter why. All that matters is that I learned a lot in the process."
Manager: "You're fired."
You see, Scott, your 'system' approach works great as long as you are 1) rich, and 2) work for yourself. For the rest of us, it might not be such a hot idea.

I totally agree that learning is a big part of career. But when managers focus on learning, they think of a classroom environment where people talk, talk, and talk. Real work experience and learning is not appreciated. I should know - I work in a place where learning is higher priority than working.
On the other hand, if you have learned, you would work well. I think work quality and quantity are easier to measure than learning. Not perfect, but better.

I learned -
- I'm not really that smart
- How to listen better
- Supporting my family is about spending time, not spending money
- How to work less and love more
- How to spend less money and live the same lifestyle
- That Good Enough is sometimes just that
But mostly, I've jump started my brain with reading and learning and I have many less sleepless nights worrying about !$%*!$%* that I can't control.

I rarely comment online. Blogs are usually filled with inane comments that digresses into flaming and crude comments. However, this one was different. Scott, you really struck a resonant chord in me.
This year I learned that getting "old" is for real. A good mental attitude will overcome lots of things, but your body still lets you know that your not in your 40s anymore. I just took a new position where I have to "drink from a firehose" to come up to speed. I am _so_ looking forward to it. My observation is there are many people who thrive on learning while others shun it. I am happy to be in a profession where learning is embraced.
My friends harass me about "useless knowledge." For me there is no such thing. You can never know too much about anything / everything. It only enriches your life.
@CodeJammer - I have been playing guitar for about 35 years. I learned that you never "master" it, only climb closer to mastry with every attempt. On being a first-time Dad: I learned that you are a first-time Dad with every child who comes. They are all different. Please allow this advice: Find things you love about your child in every stage of their life. Let you know that you love them and enjoy those things. Focus on that, not the negative things. I did that and my children have grown into wonderful adults.

- DIY/Home Repair. At least, my skills may now be approaching those of a tool-using ape.
- How to prepare for a baby (I think).
- How to price insurance products (lots and lots of math).
- About AGEs and their role in possibly causing diabetes and alzheimers. Was very satisfied when my old learning about biology led to a hunch that intermittent fasting might help, and there is at least some research, that yes, it does.
- The value of not being an a-hole at work (please to see this then appear in the book).
- That faking a liking for a disliked job can lead to at least a little real happiness (also, tangentially in the book).
- How not to grow vegetables. My Adams-like failure has, however, provided me with numerous lessons, and I am determined 2014 will go a lot better.

Switched jobs and learned A LOT. First I was the youngest in the team, now I'm the oldest. First I was a small worker bee in a big corp, now I'm discussing system architecture with the boss. A few weeks ago I was meeting my first "real" customer. (Yes, we got the contract.)
On a lower level, I did my first serious project with .NET WCF four weeks ago and now I'm doing the next one using ASP.NET web api. I barely knew the former and hadn't even heard about the latter.
In other news: I learned this year that european foreign policy is still as embarassing as ever, as exemplified in our ridiculous attempt to meddle in the ukrainian crisis. Well - "attempt" is probably an euphemism.

Similar to the article i wrote for the company newsletter last month:
By now I shouldn't have to remind you that I have five boys, and I'll let you know that all of them so far have had a foray into Scouting. They like most of the activities, but what they love is that wonderful parent-son event, Pinewood Derby, where you work together to make a gravity-propelled racecar from a 2x2x6-inch block of pine, nails, plastic wheels and creative language.
The sparkle in their eyes when the kits are handed out, rather than a touching sight, is to me only a gauge of from how high their hopes will come crashing down later to be squashed flat. You see, I've never been able to build a truly fast car (although I did work very hard once and garnered best "scout-built†car in the Tiger Cub division.) Middle of the pack is all we've ever been able to accomplish. Not that I don't try: My engineering knowledge of weight distribution had me drawing vector diagrams to make sure we took full advantage of every last bit of push. My hot rodding days reminded me of the importance of the wheels' rotating mass effect, and past metal working experience helped me mirror-polish the axles so that the wheels spun like the proverbial perpetual motion machine (kind of.)
It's never been enough though, so I try and up my game every year by studying the problem harder, looking for a new way to apply my skills to an advantage. Each year I learn more about what makes a fast car, but the car never significantly improves. Why is that? Actually the answer is pretty simple: The problem isn't my understanding of the challenge, it's my skill. Instead of working on the problem, I should be working on myself. In other words, the car is the same each year because I am the same car builder each year.
What we call learning as adults is usually very different from learning as a child. When we're in grade school we certainly know more from one year to the next, but the most dramatic difference is the change in what we are able to accomplish, or our capacities. Our ability to handle life's challenges change so much at that stage that it's reasonable to say we are not the same person year to year. Contrast that with learning as adults. We may continue to learn new things, but how often do we come into a new year with more capacities than we had the last, with the ability to meet old challenges better or to address new ones effectively? You may have heard business gurus exhort us to be learning organizations. They don't mean we need to read more books or take classes (although that may be part of it.) They mean we need to grow in our abilities – to be a different company today than we were yesterday, and plan to be different again tomorrow.
With performance reviews coming up soon, this is a good time to reflect. Are you a different person than you were at this time last year? If not, what new skills could you develop that would take the company to a different level of performance? How about for the people that report to you? Are they different? Our competition isn't likely sitting still, so why should we. Oh, and how do I plan to be different next year, you ask? That's an easy one: None of my boys are currently in Scouts.

In the past year, I have learned ...
- that Arduino Sketch has a lot more prototyping power than I had assumed.
- that fairly simple math is enough to convincingly render snow fall on the small screen.
- that my short-term memory sucks.
- that my estimates for home DIY projects now need to be multiplied by 10.
- that power sawing MDF board in a bedroom is a really itchy bad idea.
- that after 2 years, our new owner's management team still does not understand the nature/needs of our business.
- that the real reason my boss's boss asks for innovation ideas is so he can stomp them out and punish the source. He views technology improvements as schedule killers.
- that I'm more entertained than bitter...

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott today announced publication of positive outcomes from two European post-approval studies of the first-in-class catheter-based MitraClip ® therapy for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). Results from ACCESS-EU, a European prospective study that enrolled 567 patients at 14 sites, have been published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. In addition, findings of the investigator-sponsored German TRAnscatheter Mitral Valve Interventions (TRAMI) registry, which enrolled 1,064 patients at 20 German sites, were recently published in EuroIntervention.
Abbott's MitraClip System, which received CE Mark in 2008 and is commercially available in Europe and other international markets, is an investigational device in the United States. The device is delivered to the heart through the femoral vein, a blood vessel in the leg, and is designed to reduce MR by clipping together a portion of the leaflets of the mitral valve to allow the heart to more efficiently pump blood.
Data from ACCESS-EU demonstrated that in real-world, post-approval experience in Europe, patients undergoing the MitraClip therapy are predominantly high surgical risk, elderly patients who are mainly affected by functional MR, a type of MR in which a damaged heart impairs the performance of a normal mitral valve. ACCESS-EU showed that in this patient population, the MitraClip procedure demonstrated low rates of hospital mortality and adverse events and provided significant improvements in day-to-day quality of life at one year following treatment.
"I am impressed by the excellent outcomes observed in real-world patients with the MitraClip therapy. The procedure proved safe and effective even in patients who are at high risk for complications from mitral valve surgery," said Francesco Maisano, M.D., director of Transcatheter Valve Therapies at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy, lead author of the ACCESS-EU data publication and co-principal investigator of the study. "In my experience, the MitraClip therapy has a definite role for patients who are not candidates for surgery. I have treated many patients who have experienced a dramatic improvement in quality of life. Relief from the symptoms of mitral regurgitation has allowed many bedridden patients to return to normal day-to-day activities.""The data from these studies, which together evaluated more than 1,600 patients, add to the clinical evidence confirming positive results for treatment with MitraClip in high surgical risk patients suffering from the debilitating symptoms of significant mitral regurgitation," said Charles A. Simonton, M.D., FACC, FSCAI, divisional vice president, Medical Affairs, and chief medical officer, Abbott Vascular. "The MitraClip device represents a true advance for these patients, who suffer from poor quality of life and have no satisfactory options to reduce their significant mitral regurgitation." Findings of the ACCESS-EU study showed:
- Most patients currently treated in Europe are high surgical risk. The mean age was 74 years, with 45 percent of patients older than 75 years. Most patients had secondary or functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), a type of MR in which a damaged heart impairs the performance of a normal mitral valve; low ejection fraction (most 40 percent or lower); and presented with multiple comorbidities, including coronary artery disease (63 percent), hypertension (76 percent), atrial fibrillation (68 percent) and renal disease (42 percent).
- An implant success rate of 99.6 percent.
- No incidence of death or stroke during the MitraClip procedure and in the immediate post-operative period.
- A majority of patients (91.2 percent) achieved MR reduction to MR grade of 2+ or less (on a scale of 1+ [mild MR] to 4+ [severe MR]) at discharge (p<0.0001).
- At one year following the procedure, 78.9 percent of patients were free from MR severity of 2+ or more (p<0.0001), and 71.4 percent of patients were in NYHA Functional Class II or Class I compared to 15 percent at baseline (p<0.0001).
- A large majority of patients (79.2 percent) were discharged to home rather than to a skilled nursing facility.
- Significant improvements in quality of life. At one year, Six-Minute Walk Test results, which measure distance walked on a flat, hard surface in a six-minute period, improved by a mean of 59.5 meters (p<0.0001). Minnesota Living With Heart Failure results, which measure the effects of symptoms, functional limitations and psychological distress on an individual's quality of life, improved by a mean 13.5 points (p<0.0001).

Grrr.... Duplication.
At the end of the day all of us always have a choice how to behave. That defines who we are. Those people chose to rob, steal and vandalise.
Whatever excuse they hide behind or whoever people feel is to blame, at that moment they chose to take those actions.
Grrr.... Duplication.
Obviously been watching quite a few of the "riots" and tbh I've seen more threatening trouble dealt with on a "normal" Friday night down town.
Anyone else cynical enough to think that the police were "stepping back" as a warning to politicians about what will happen if their share of the cuts and pension reductions go through?

Here's an idea [Picture edited for language]
That way while you are in court you can hold your trousers up at a proper level before your stolen goods are confiscated.
Why the police are in a state of impotence | Mick Hume | spiked
The authorities have left a power vacuum that invited anybody with a brick or a shopping trolley to come and have a go. On Saturday police left people free to loot shopping centres in north London, supposedly while the Force focused on dealing with the riot in Tottenham. Yet as residents pointed out, they did nothing to stop the burning down of shops and flats there, either. Over the days that followed there were many complaints from angry shopkeepers of the Met standing back while their premises were robbed and fired.One Met commander gave a revealing interview to Sky News, explaining that the policing of communities had changed a lot since the riots of 25 or 30 years ago. This time, he said, 'we're standing next to these people watching them cry because their businesses have been destroyed. We're going to work with the partners in that local community to make sure we help them rebuild Tottenham. That's what policing is all about.' Call me old-fashioned, but that sounds more like a professional therapist or town planner than a police chief faced with civil disorder.The flabby police response gave the green light to the would-be looters and assorted toerags to come out and play. Indeed, the way the police then toured other areas of London telling shops to shut up early because trouble was coming – by implication making clear that they could not protect the properties – may well have put the idea of a little looting in some people's heads. In these circumstances there was surely no great mystery as to why the riots spread so fast. There was nothing to stop them. The police were sounding the retreat before battle had even commenced.For all the promise of 'robust policing', the only threat the authorities were really making was of robust videoing of looters to facilitate later prosecutions. A call to arms it was not.

Story: Most of a page, but this is the key quote... Officers were called to The Slug and Lettuce Bar at 10.15pm following reports of two men who were believed to be in possession of a brick with the intention of carrying out disorder. They were handed a section 27 notice ordering them to leave the area.
* Sigh *
I think John McDonnell MP says it quite well in The Guardian:
Haven't the warnings been there, from as wide a range of people from Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett to Rowan Williams? We are reaping what has been sown over the last three decades of creating a grotesquely unequal society with an ethos of grab as much as you can by any means. A society of looters created with MPs and their expenses, bankers and their bonuses, tax-evading corporations, hacking journalists, bribe-taking police officers, and now a group of alienated kids are seizing their chance. This is not to condone but to understand. Addressing inequality is the only way we can avoid a rerun of these riots.
John McDonnell MP
Letters: We have created a society of looters | UK news | The Guardian
I trust the Guardian as much as I trust the Daily Mail, in fact should either paper come into physical contact with the other something very 'bad' will happen to our universe.
I also note that Mr McDonnell is a labour MP and is duty bound to blame the riots on anything but his parties running of the country for the past 13 years.

December 18, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Testimony before a state House committee portrayed large, dangerous-looking dogs, by turns, as potentially deadly hazards and loving protectors of the family.
The measure pushed by Democratic Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer of San Antonio would require "vicious" dogs to be registered, insured and heavily restrained. The bill defines dogs as vicious if they're though capable of causing serious injury due to its "physical nature" or is overly aggressive, jumps at the fence and makes people think it could attack.
Opponents say the bill would unfairly punish responsible owners of large dogs just because passers-by might be afraid.
They also say a provision requiring dogs that weigh more than 40
pounds to be leashed unless they're at home or in a "secure enclosure" would put some therapy dogs and show dogs out of work.
Supporters say too many possibly vicious dogs roam the streets. They say the potential danger - especially to children and the elderly - is too great.

Rock Band Inspired Belt Buckles: From a Video Game to Your Waist
North America, November 20, 2007: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 released their version of a new music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, the Rock Band (the first title in the Rock Band series). The following month, Playstation 2 released its version of the game, and the following year the game was released in Europe and in Australia respectively. The mechanics of the game is to allow up to four players to imitate the performance of famous rock songs by playing the music using the game controls designed after musical instruments. The players can execute after their preferred song using the lead guitar, bass guitar, and drum controllers and the vocals can be performed through a USB microphone. The scoring of the game will be based upon the players' ability to match the musical notes that will be displayed on the monitor/screen (for the instruments' part) and ability to sing with the correct voice pitch for the vocals. This game can be played both online and offline providing the players a possibility of a large community with whom they can interact with.
The Rock Band became extremely popular among video gamers across North America, Europe, and Australia that it became a big hit selling 4 million units gaining global revenue of 600 million dollars shortly after its launch.

Macomb Community College Nursing 2013 - page 8
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has registered to take their HESI in the fall and are planning to apply to Macomb's nursing program for the 2013 admission cycle! Let me know!... Read More
- 0Jan 25, '13 by MsPebblesQuote from Winterbebe7You can actually find some good information on various schools right here on AllNurses. Here's the link to that section: Online Nursing Schools, Colleges, and UniversitiesReally? Can you share some of the online programs? I would like to know I defiantly want my BSN but I have two young children so time and money are defiantly concerns of mine as well. Plus I am out of financial aid this year already so the rest will be out of pocket. For the MSU program I have to take two chem classes and two math classes to apply.
I actually just read a recent post that someone who attended WGU (Western Governor's University) online completed her BSN in only 6 months. Definitely do your research first, though, to determine the pros and cons of each school and also what would work best for you.
- 0Jan 25, '13 by MsPebblesQuote from KylaSYes, January starts would graduate in December. Remember, the program is 4 complete semesters, not including summers.Hey, I know I am thinking ahead a bit but I was always curious about the graduation dates. I know August starts graduate in May and I am guessing January starts graduate in Decemeber?? Anyone know for sure?
- 0Jan 25, '13 by Winterbebe7Thank you mspebbles. I am getting so excited and nervous as the time to see if we are accepted approaches. I wish there was a way to find out if a lot of people applied this year
- 0Jan 26, '13 by Winterbebe7I hope you are right! I want to get in so bad. I have heard the HESI scores are down as well.
- 0Jan 26, '13 by ajurzakQuote from JLJ11405The name badge you do in class, so don't worry. You'll need that stuff plus a blood pressure cuff. The book store is over priced, but you can get them from there. Allheart.com has great prices on that stuff!HI I'm a March Start,
Where do we get the name badge? I was looking in the handbook and noticed that we would need one along with bandage scissors, pen light and stethoscope. Did you guys just get them at the bookstore?
- 1Jan 27, '13 by nurseintraining33Quote from Winterbebe7We didn't find out how many people applied until right before we got our letters so I think it was mid April.Thank you mspebbles. I am getting so excited and nervous as the time to see if we are accepted approaches. I wish there was a way to find out if a lot of people applied this year
If you go to one of those Nursing Seminars at MCC, they tell you what the average scores were for the people who got in last year. I think theres one tomorrow actually.

"It's light-weight and easy to mount, includes lifetime map updates ¹, and can handle the toughest weather conditions ²."
With the zūmo 390LM, Garmin has updated its popular Motorcycle series to make it more than just another GPS navigator. zūmo 390LM features Bluetooth wireless technology that allows riders to simply connect their zūmo with their mobile phone and a Bluetooth-enabled headset or helmet (sold separately) to make and receive calls on the go. With it, motorcyclists are free to talk on their phones without having to remove their gloves or helmet. Riders can also call points of interest through the zūmo Bluetooth interface, perfect for a last-minute change of plans or a quick pit stop for food and fuel. zūmo 390LM can transmit voice-guided navigation to motorcyclists' compatible headsets or helmets (sold separately). Hearing street names and navigation commands lets riders keep their focus on the road and truly enjoy the ride. To see the zūmo 390LM in action, go to www.garmin.com/zumo.
zūmo 390LM is the first in the motorcycle series from Garmin to be compatible with the NEW integrated Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor 3 (TPMS). Add a sensor for each tire and easily monitor the pressure using the zūmo display. The system works with up to 4 tires in any configuration. One TPMS sensor is required for each tire. Also, the Service History Log lets cruising enthusiasts record the date, mileage and type of maintenance performed on their motorcycles. Tire mileage, tire changes, tire pressure, chain cleanings, oil changes, new spark plugs – almost anything you can think of, zūmo will keep a record of it.Whether riding during a bright summer day or a moonless fall night, the zūmo 390LM has motorcycle-friendly features any rider will appreciate. With its new Curvy Roads feature, zūmo 390LM will allow riders to select and navigate routes on winding roads to their destination—making each new trip a memorable experience. Its large touchscreen color display is housed in a case that resists fuel sprays and UV rays. The zūmo 390LM puts all the information you need in an easy-to-read format as you travel down the road and features a glove-friendly intuitive interface that makes entering information as easy as shifting gears. The zūmo 390LM speaks street names and will deliver turn-by-turn, voice prompted directions, such as "turn right on Route 66," via the built-in speaker headphone jack or through a compatible Bluetooth helmet or headset.

Michelle Dockery, Maggie Smith
Last year, Downton Abbey went through a transitional season dealing with major loss but also laying the groundwork for what could be a very intriguing fifth season.
Before the series returns stateside on Sunday, Jan. 4 on PBS' Masterpiece, the cast -- Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Joanne Froggatt, Allen Leech along with executive producer Gareth Neame -- attended the Television Critics Association fall previews on Tuesday to present select clips from the upcoming season. Here's what we can expect:
Michelle Dockery
We aren't the only ones still mourning Matthew's untimely demise. When Downton Abbey returns for a fourth season, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) will still be grieving the loss of her husband sixth months earlier.

Maggie Smith
Carnival Films, the studio that produces Downton Abbey, is denying a report that Dame Maggie Smith is leaving the hit PBS show after its upcoming third season.
In a statement obtained by The New York Times, the studio called the The Daily Mail report "complete nonsense." The studio added, "We never comment on future story lines but...

This summer, PBSs rechristened Masterpiece Mystery! series is saying farewell to some favorite franchises, with the final installments of Foyles War (starting tonight), which I recently reviewed, and The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. To fill the gap, Mystery! is turning to some old friends for next summers line-up, specifically Agatha Christies renowned sleuths Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and introducing a new crime-solver. Kenneth Branagh will star and co-produce a series based on Swedish novelist Henning Mankells Inspector Kurt Wallander books, which Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton describes as being in the Inspector Morse tradition.On the Christie front, there will be four episodes each of the Poirot and Marple series. David Suchet will reprise his role as the Belgian Sherlock, and Eaton says Suchet has expressed interest in filming every single Poirot story before hes finished. And theyve found yet another new Miss Marple ...

Runaway script creating folders in web root
I've been using ISPConfig2 for about 2.5 years now and it has suited my needs very well. It has been serving mail and web for several domains I operate without a problem for that time.
A few weeks ago I made a number of changes to my network and today I noticed that there are a large number of new folders inside my web root which take the form of a line within the ISPConfig log. From what I can tell with my rudimentary PHP skills, the "/root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php" script is parsing the log lines incorrectly and creating new folders as a result.
Here is an example of my /var/www/ directory ( i have replaced the domain names with #site1#, #site2# etc):
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K 2011-02-09 00:30 - #SITE2# - [08
Around that time, the changes I made to my system were: 1) upgraded (apt dist-upgrade within same ubuntu 8.04 version) so many 'held back' packages were updated; and 2) installed a squid reverse proxy on another machine which determines which requests go to which machines as there are other servers within my network hosting other domains outside the scope of my ISPConfig install.
I did a search of the forums here and didn't see any references to upgrades causing this problem, so I have assumed that my squid server is sending requests over which seem to be causing problems for the ISPConfig log parser.
The odd thing is that the ISPConfig HTTPD logs seem to be working as normal, where the standard loglines appear as:
188.8.131.52 #SITE2# - [20/Feb/2011:17:37:29 +0800] "GET /DC/ HTTP/1.0" 200 55569 "-""Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:184.108.40.206) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E)"
It appears to me that the problem is coming from the following function in the "/root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php" file:
function get_filename($virtual_host) {
LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %v %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\"\"%{User-Agent}i\"" cached
LogFormat "%v||||%b||||%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined_ispconfig
Ah yes, that should have been obvious looking at the ISPConfig log format. I have changed it back and just added another log to get the info i want.
Just confirming for any future readers that this fixed my problem and as as of the latest cron execution of "/root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php" no new directories were created.
Thanks again

Global Macro: Riskier Stocks Lead Markets Higher
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Riskier stocks -- known as high-beta stocks -- led equities in November, a signal of positive momentum.
The chart below is of PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) over SPDR S&P 500 (SPY). The chart shows the Nasdaq's relative strength versus the S&P 500. Investors usually favor riskier stocks when they are confident about the economy.
Stable monetary policy was the main reason for stocks' strength in November. Investors realize that the Federal Reserve will likely maintain its current level of easing into 2014. The Fed seems to think that the economy isn't yet ready to operate without intervention, and Fed nominee Janet Yellen is a known policy dove who will likely keep stimulus intact next year.
The current equity uptrend looks to be very strong with solid support levels under most equity indexes across the globe. That provides the confidence that even if we do get a correction lower, buyers will step into the market when prices fall far enough.This reasoning goes back to stable monetary policy. Central banks have made it clear that they are committed to stimulus. That creates a safety net that deters prices from falling too far.

Knox County (WVLT) - The decision on whether the Knox County commission broke the state's Open Meetings law is now in the hands of 12 men and women.
Volunteer TV's Kim Bedford has been following the case.
Opening statements in the Sunshine lawsuit wrapped up Monday and the case was handed to the jury.
The group decided they would wait until Tuesday morning to begin answering the nearly 30 questions all three attorneys put together for them.
The 12 jurors have to come up with unanimous answers to important questions.
Such as, "Did two or more commissioners deliberate toward a decision for appointments outside the public's view?"
They'll decide appointment by appointment, and will have more than 70 exhibits to review, including meeting transcripts, roll call records, and phone records.
The closing arguments got heated at times.
"They had to occur in the back room, in the coffee lounge, in the hallways, any place other than the public meeting because we're forbidden to do it," said Richard Hollow, attorney for the Knoxville News Sentinel.
"If it was deliberation, to which we strongly argue is absurd, than the discussions and the votes during the committee meeting on January 22nd cured any such alleged deficiencies," said Knox County Law Director John Owings.
"We've got to get back to the fact that we are a government of the people, for the people, and by the people," said attorney for the citizens', Herb Moncier.
The jury's answers to the questions will ultimately determine what Chancellor Daryl Fansler decides.
If it proves the county commission violated the Sunshine Law, there will be an injunction against the commission to prevent it from happening again and a redo of the appointment process could be reordered.
Be sure to stay with Volunteer TV and VolunteerTV.com for Continuing Coverage of the Sunshine Trial, including live streaming of the verdict when it comes down.

One of the most talked about cases among panelists at the "Recent Developments-2005" session at this year's Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning, held Jan. 9 through 13 in Miami, was Rudkin — a case in which the Internal Revenue Service is trying to close a potential tax loophole for the wealthy. The issue in William L. Rudkin Testamentary Trust v. Comm'r, 124 T.C. 19 (June 27, 2005) is: to what extent are trustee fees deductible by a trust for income tax purposes?
In Rudkin, the Tax Court agreed with the Service that a trust's investment advisory fees are not fully deductible: Only the portion that exceeds 2 percent of the trust's adjusted gross income (AGI) is deductible. The case is on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Trustees that include the cost of investment advice in their general fees might be at an advantage, because this "rolled up" fee might be fully deductible. At least, the IRS has not yet tried to force a trustee to itemize a rolled up fee and denied deductions for investment advice portions.
What the IRS has done, however, is go after deductions for clearly identified investment advisory fees.
The Tax Court previously held in O'Neill v. Comm'r, 98 T.C. 227 (1992), that deductions for separate investment advisory fees are subject to the 2 percent rule. But not all circuit courts have agreed. Of the three that have ruled on the issue, two are in line with the Tax Court: the Fourth Circuit in Scott v. U.S., 328 F.3d 132 (4th Cir. 2003) and the Federal Circuit in Mellon Bank, N.A., 265 F.3d 1275 (Fed. Cir. 2001), aff'g 47 Fed. Cl. 186 (2000); but the Sixth Circuit reversed the Tax Court in O'Neill, 98 T.C. 227 (1992), rev'd, 994 F.2d 302. (6th Cir 1993) and imposed the 2 percent rule.
Under IRC Section 67(a), individuals are allowed miscellaneous deductions to the extent that they exceed 2 percent of a trust's AGI. Section 67 (e) states that the AGI is calculated in the same way for trusts and estates as for individuals, but expenses incurred in administrating an estate or trust that "would not have been incurred if the property were not held in such trust or estate" are fully deductible when the AGI is calculated.
David A. Handler, a partner in the Chicago office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, provides this example:
"Say a trust has $100,000 of AGI and incurred $5,000 of investment management fees. If the investment management fees are deductible only to the extent they exceed 2 percent of AGI, then $3,000 is deductible ($5,000 minus $2,000, which is 2 percent of AGI). If the management fees are fully deductible, then all $5,000 may be deducted. If a trustee charges a $10,000 fee with no separate investment management fee, then all $10,000 may be deductible. However, if the IRS's view is that investment management fees are subject to the 2 percent floor, the Service could require trustees to break out that portion of their fees that represents investment management and limit its deductibility accordingly."
The reason the full deduction is seen as a tax loophole for the rich: Individuals who hold their money outside a trust receive no income tax deductions for the cost of investment advice.
The American Bankers Association put forth a counterargument in its amicus brief in Rudkin, filed Jan. 6 with the Second Circuit: Fiduciary duties force trustees to incur investment advisory expenses.
