December 21, 2014
Gainesville, FL---With two starts, and two wins under his belt, quarterback Tyler Murphy is looking ahead to his biggest test as Florida's starting qb.
He and the Gators travel to Baton Rouge Saturday for their annual war with LSU. Murphy coming off another solid performance in the win over Arkansas, not great, but solid. 16 of 22, 240 yards, 3 td's, no picks. Murphy being called by some simply a "game manger" and that's just fine with him!
"Since I've been here" Murphy saying Monday "Alabama's been one of the top teams and I've been watching them, trying to copycat A.J. McCarron a little bit. He does a great job of just managing the game and taking what the defense gives him. And now his third year as the starter he's making a lot of plays and he's put the team on his back a few times. So it all starts with just being a game manager. So I don't take any offense to that."
LSU comes in 5-1, following a blowout win at Mississippi State. Their only blemish the 3 point loss in Athens. Game time for that Florida game, 2:30 central on our sister station WECP. LSU favored by 7.

Phoenix (3.5e Prestige Class)
From D&D Wiki
|Not rated
|(Rate this class)
|Mostly complete.
|Sample character/encounter.
|The wicked ones burned and all there beheld the might of a Phoenix.
|—Char Grill, Half-Elf Phoenix, Clay Tablet of Ignus Xin Eof
Phoenixes are students of the legendary bird of fire, the phoenix, hoping to glean ancient knowledge from it. A Phoenix is a proselyte of the Plane of Fire, an embodiment of its lustrous and deadly beauty. They are dangerous melee combatants with spellcasting abilities, capable of even consuming the fire around them to keep themselves alive. They have a flair for flamboyant shows of their magical prowess and are always seeking power to bolster their magical talents.
Becoming a Phoenix[edit]
Phoenix are commonly drawn from the druid class. Immortality is a mystery that every mortal longs after and many alchemists have pursued this quest and failed. This class grants the acolyte of the phoenix a chance at immortality, and also a number of exceptional fire based abilities. Awesome power and legendary renowned garnered from this prestige class await those who follow this fiery trail.

Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), Speak Language, Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the Phoenix.
Spellcasting: At every level, the Phoenix gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming an phoenix, she must decide to which class she adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Wildshape (Ex): At level 1, each level of phoenix counts as a level of druid for the purposes of determining the duration and number of wildshape uses per day, and the size and type of creatures she is able to transform into.
Warm Blooded (Ex): At level 1, the phoenix and her animal companion have become attuned to heat as if they were burning with actual fire; they no longer succumb to the dangers of hot areas such as deserts. If the Phoenix has Trackless Step (Ex), the Phoenix can leave a trail of ash in natural surroundings which is easily tracked, giving anyone looking a trail +20 to a search check.
Flameskin (Ex): at level 1, the phoenix and her animal companion have become attuned to the fiery elements. The phoenix and her animal companion gain +1 Natural Armor and fire resistance 10 and an additional +1 Natural Armor and +5 fire resistance every other odd level levels after (At lvl 5, Max +3 Nat Armor, 20 Fire Resistance). These bonuses stack with similar bonuses while in alternate forms.
Phoenix Form (Su) At level 2, a phoenix can use their wildshape to transform into a magnificent, brightly plumaged phoenix. This phoenix wildshape form is only available to the phoenix prestige class.
- A phoenix retains her ability to speak while in phoenix form and she can communicate normally with other birds.
- Phoenix Form statistics:
- Size: Large | Type: Magical Beast (Fire)
- Speed: 20ft, fly 50 ft. (perfect)
- Abilities: str=18 dex=20 con=16
- Natural Armor: +5
- Full Attack: 2 talons melee (1d6) + bite (1d8)
- Racial feats: Flyby Attack, Wingover, Multi-attack
- Racial Skill Bonuses: +8 Spot, +8 Fly, +8 Knowledge (History)
At character level 15, the Phoenix Form's statistics improve:
- Size= Huge | type=Magical Beast (Fire)
- Speed: 30ft, fly 70 ft. (perfect)
- Abilities: str=22 dex=18 con=20
- Natural Armor: +8
- Full Attack= 2 talons melee (1d8) + bite (2d6)
- Racial feats: Flyby Attack, Wingover, Multi-attack, Hover
- Racial Skill Bonuses: +12 Spot, +12 Fly, +12 Knowledge (History)
At character level 20, the Phoenix Form's statistics improve:
- Size= Gargantuan | type=Magical Beast (Fire)
- Speed: 40ft, fly 100 ft. (perfect)
- Abilities: str=30 dex=18 con=24
- Natural Armor: +11
- Full Attack= 2 talons melee (2d6) + bite (3d6)
- Racial feats: Flyby Attack, Wingover, Multi-attack, Hover, Snatch
- Racial Skill Bonuses: +20 Spot, +20 Fly, +20 Knowledge (History)
Fire Orb (Su): At level 2, as a swift action, a phoenix can conjure several flaming orbs in her open hands (or appendages). The Fire Orbs harm neither you nor your equipment. One Fire Orb can occupy one appendage at a time. The Fire Orbs can be used as part of an melee attack against enemies. When you can strike an opponent with an unarmed or armed melee attack, or natural attack, each attack deals additional fire damage equal to 1d6 +1/3 caster levels (rounded down) and expends 1 Fire Orb. The number of Fire Orbs that can be conjured per day is equal to her wisdom modifier + 1/caster level.
Caustic Healing (Ex): At level 3, 1 day/4 caster levels, a phoenix can channel stored spell energy to simultaneously deal fire damage as an area effect and heal herself. As a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity, she can "lose" a prepared spell in order to deal 2d6 fire damage/spell level in a 15ft radius centered on her. If at least one enemy suffers fire damage this way, you heal 1d8/5 character levels + 1/caster level.
Rebirth (Su) At level 5, if a phoenix dies, her body bursts into flame, dealing 1d12 fire damage/character level to everything within 5 feet, and turning her body into ash. 1d4 days later, the ash reforms into a new body of adulthood age. When her body reforms, she permanently lose 1 phoenix level and 1 point Constitution. This level loss and constitution loss is unpreventable, and these levels cannot be restored by anything short of a wish spell. A phoenix restored to life by other means does not suffer this loss.
Fire Immunity (Ex): At level 10, a phoenix and her animal companion both gain immunity to fire and gain vulnerability to cold.
Description of the phoenix creature[edit]
This regal creature looks like a large peacock, but with vibrant orange, red and yellow plumage, a crest, and long, trailing tail feathers. Its feathers emanate ephemeral wisps of flame.
Phoenixes are rumored to come from the Elemental Plane of Fire. They are intelligent creatures and pride themselves on their beauty. They are fascinated by all forms of magic and have a fondness for magical items, but only a few actually cast spells. These magical birds live very long lives due to their unique way of cheating death, by immolating themselves at the end of their lifespan, and from the ashes, the phoenix is reborn. Phoenixes tend to live in dry deserts and are elusive and hard to find, though the feathers are of great value to alchemists as regents. A fledgingly phoenix is about 5 feet from tail to beak, and has a wingspan of 14 feet. It weighs about 40 pounds. Phoenixes speak Common, Celestial, and Ignan.
Campaign Information[edit]
Playing a Phoenix[edit]
Combat: Phoenix are melee combatants with blazing magical abilities. They are very effective charging into melee combat, then unleashing powerful area spells, catching as many enemies in them as possible.
Advancement: Phoenix typically focus on gaining levels as a phoenix, though some take a levels druids, depending on the direction they want to focus.
Resources: Because of their vanity, phoenixes not social with other phoenixes and they are more likely to be found in competition with one another rather than working together.
Phoenix in the World[edit]
|This town is under my protection. Move along or risk fiery death.
|—Firenze, Human Phoenix
Phoenix are wanderers, always seeking power. Sometimes a phoenix may find a small town or a village that they protect from harm, but they could move on as quickly as they came, with no warning.
NPC Reactions: Most Phoenix are respected openly, but still feared by most for fiery wrath.
Phoenix Lore[edit]
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Arcana) can research Phoenix to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
|Phoenix are powerful fire mages.
|Phoenix are able shape-shift into fiery birds.
|Phoenix eventually gain the ability to absorb fire that would normally harm them in order to heal themselves.
Phoenix in the Game[edit]
Phoenix are enigmatic, power-hungry mages, rarely encountered in peaceful areas. A phoenix might appear as the protector of a desert, an oasis, a small town, or as a wandering mercenary, but they all have the same desire: to gain power.
Adaptation: Phoenix like druids can be difficult to balance against other player characters. If they prove overwhelming, try throwing monsters that deal cold damage or cannot be attacked with natural weapons.
Sample Encounter: Firenze, a marginally skilled phoenix, defends the small town of Drake's Hollow from raiders, thieves, and the like. The PC's could meet her while wandering the town, see her fighting a group of savage humanoids raiding the town, or even end up fighting her themselves if they end up disrupting the peace in the town.

What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: September In The Rain
|By: Suzanne Wednesday March 13, 2013 10:00 pm
Roy Hargrove Big Band — September In The Rain, live at Jazz A Vienne (France) in July of 2009.
What's on your mind?
Hey Suzanne,
Packing for a trip east again. This time, it is for my Dad's 90th birthday! It is a surprise party with many sibs, kids, and partners, so I'm super excited. I'll be in touch on the road.
hey ce — i know how much you have been looking forward to surprising dad :) how's the weather? so good that you will be able to stay in touch…. please give him my best hippo birdies
Snow, rain, sun and all the rest! I think that we will be ok on the road — MrCE and I are looking forward to our only Starbucks coffee ever allowed "going east" and taking egg salad sandwiches and bananas for lunch. I'll give Dad a hug for you!
road trip sammies! i can't do a drive without getting a latte… well, i could but i prefer not too :) before lattes, i would fill a thermos with coffee and when i filled up the tank, i would also refill the thermos :) my girls grew up learning how to pour coffee into my cup at 65mph
Heh, so funny! We allow ourselves one super expensive flavored chocolate pumpkin whatever super flavor…
there's nothing like coffee on a road trip :) put some good tunes on the radio and enjoy the ride…
Been awhile, but I actually did a MyFDL diary on MSNBC's booting Ed Schultz from 8PM nightly to its Siberia of late afternoon weekends. Being that Schultz's ratings were second only to Rachel's,I explore the likely seamly motive for deep-sixing Ed:
Diary: http://my.firedoglake.com/robertarend/2013/03/13/ed-schultz-and-class-warfare-too-much-for-msnbccomcast/
Aloha, Suz, CE, and lln pups…! Another dank, dark day here…!
hey robert — how's soPA tonight? i'll be sure to read, tweet, and recommend it
aloha tut — how much longer will paradise be like that?
Arrgh, such gray days in Hilo, and here in Cleveland as well. I think the day never saw light this week.
Off & on blowing snow that dusted the grass but quickly vanished. Typical mid-March weather for these parts. Bright side: only 7 days till spring….
starting to see more and more signs of spring here :) :) :) when token and i took our drive today, we saw more and more blooming daffs. tis nice to see spots of color again :)
Hiya, pups! Love you, Suzanne.
I posted a my firedoglake diary on Sunday that was posted as a front-pager, on Sen. Lisa Murkowski's "exclusion" of 97% of Alaska Native women from the Violence Against Women Act's provisions. It disappeared early today from my diary list, and from firedoglake's chronology of past diaries. IIRC, it was Sunday Late Night.
It is only the second time in my eight years here something I posted was removed. Nobody contacted me for clarification, or to let me know of some violation of terms of policy.
Commenters at my diary wondered why what I had posted seemed unclear in some ways, as Murkowski is trying to deny she did what she did, claiming she created an "inclusion" rather than an "exclusion" for Native women here.
Indeed, since my diary was removed, Natalie Landreth, the senior staff attorney at the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) in Anchorage, Alaska, has posted an article at an Alaska blog which deepens the case I tried to make. At the same time, I've asked Diane Benson, Alaska's most well-known advocate for Native women's rights in Alaska, to write an article for my blog, and for firedoglake, getting further into this important issue.
I'm hesitant to ask Diane to participate at fdl, though, until somebody explains why my diary was removed.
I'm posting this here, rather than emailing Jane or somebody who used to be an editor or mod, because I am EXTREMELY PISSED nobody here communicated with me about this before removing what I still consider to be an honest reaction to racism, by a powerful US senator.
I doubt I will comment or post again at firedoglake until I receive some sort of answer from behind the curtain.
hey et — i'll see what i can find out…. do you mind if i cut and paste your comment to both the fdl editor ellie and the myfdl editor?
we've had some software glitches this week and some posts posted wrong and others did not post.
love you too — how ya been otherwise dood?
Software glitches probably would not explain why a diary by my friend Teddy now appears at "late night" on Sunday, instead of the one fdl used to carry there – my now disappeared one.
feel free to cut and paste away, Suzanne.
I have gotta say, I was a little confused as to what was being said in your diary. That said, I've learned to trust what you say and if you say Sen. Lisa Murkowski is being obtuse, I believe you.
For the life of me, I can't understand how another woman can be against a violence against women act, antiabortion, anti-woman anything.
teddy always posts late night on sunday nights. are you sure it was sun and not sat?
i'm seeing a sat nite ln post by you
hey tuez — how's orlando tonight?
however, i am unable to get to the post you wrote after the alice reads rachel post which is the vawa post
Thanks. Maybe the Murkowski post wasn't late night, but it has simply disappeared, and I doubt it was a software glitch.
i am personally aware of the software problems — instead of one of cynthia's long island power posts posting, it cross-posted a closed post from january. additionally, there have been problems with going into posts removing all the video encoding. the tech crew has been working on it.
i sent off the email to the two explaining that your vawa post poofed and that i was unable to get to it either.
Thanks, Suzanne.
tis my pleasure dood….. i've been looking at my budget and trying to figure out how i can get to mom's in az for her 78th bday in may and yet find a way to get up to your neck of the woods too….
hey ppd — warmer since we are on the south side of that pineapple express going into seattle but the weather dood assures us that our cold march temps will return by this weekend along with the rain. how's the monterey bay tonight?
warm day, cool nights — the usual now that day light savings time rules
yay! jen's in the bay area visiting her dad – jen and jules flew down there today and return next week. she said the weather was perfect – she likes it warm
tis about time for me to head off pups. thank you for letting me hang here with you tonight and for stopping by. i hope you like tomorrow's tune more than ya did tonight's…
g'nite all
well, we aim to please here. Hope they have a great time.
Sweet dreams, Suz…!

Even worse with the best of the modern brew.

text: People have mentioned the Pats being 16.1 million under the cap. I feel that its somewhat of an illusion. Here's why: 1) You can figure that they are going to put the 5.8 million of Seymour's August bonus right against the cap. I'd be very surprised if they made it a signing bonus over a roster bonus. 2) Add to that the 4.5 million or so for the Rookie salaries. 3) Deion Branch still needs his contract extended and that will eat up much of the remaining 6 million.

I love to serve and help others. I desire a partner that knows himself well and can communicate openly. With that said, I need to clarify some things:
Since some of you have asked....I enjoy spending time with my 7 children. The oldest is 24 and the youngest is 9 yrs old. I have been widowed for two years. I believe the best relationships involve physical attraction with a solid friendship of mutual respect. I don't play "head games". I am kind, honest and respectful.
I am fun, athletic, hard working, and practical. I enjoy hiking, white water rafting, and bicycling. Recently, I have become a beekeeper. I have 4 hives in my yard! I have been accused of looking younger than I am. Maybe it is from all of my energy and that I love life?
I think the gospel is very important. I attend church because the gospel is true. I am very active and have served in most organizations. I really enjoyed teaching Sunday School to 16-18 yr olds for 7 years. I am currently serving as the Primary pianist.
In my busy swirling life with children, chickens, garden, trailers, fruit trees, and ferrel cats...I enjoy relationships with friends, serving others, bicycling, cooking, and eating! I love to cook and am not afraid to try new recipes. LOVE to read and learn! I like to experience and learn new things and live life to the fullest!
According to the Color Code...I am yellow with red. So I tell people I am a responsible yellow...I look to make most situations a fun experience.

text: I wonder if BB,Brady and other top players on the team will be watching the scoreboard to see what is happening in Indy so if the score is lopsided by halftime in favor of Indy (which I think IS going to be the case-Indy should be up by 14 by then)....That is I assume Indy game is at 1pm also? - So therefore I think the core players would sit out the second half,But if it is a somewhat close game at the half in Indy,Then Brady,Dillon ect: may play the full game. It may not matter to the team what seed we are or who we play (see last years final regular season game for point in case),but I want to play the Jets 10x more than Denver...I think we would beat the Jets by at least 17 this time around if we get a chance.

Glass & Concrete Residence in Japan Displaying an Eye-Catching Architecture
The Edge house was designed by Japanese studio Noriyoshi Morimura Architects and is located in Kansai district, Osaka, Japan. This concrete and glass residence displays an original architecture and is quite eye-catching. Situated on a hill overlooking the city, the villa consists of two floors, connected by a sinuous concrete separating line. Generous terraces are thus created, which allow the inhabitants to enjoy their private space while relaxing outdoors. The interiors are very airy and spacious, defined by the concrete slanted walls, stone and overall pale color tones. Large windows ensure a good indoor/outdoor connection. The furniture elements are minimalist and inspire soberness and cleanness. We invite you to have a look at the photos and let us know what you think. Would you enjoy living in this type of home, or do you consider it to be too "cold" ?

In various discussions of ecumenism and ecclesiology one of the elements that often comes up is the issue of the church's givenness, or non-givenness. One of the standard lines is that the Roman church is a structure that is greater than the sum of its parts, it is a "given", whereas Protestant churches are self-made fabrications of a group of individuals who "create" a church by their own choosing. And prima facie, such a description seems plausible, given the state of a great many evangelical churches in the West. However, such a diagnosis of Protestantism as a volitonal fabrication versus Roman Catholicism as a stable rock of givenness is more than naive.
The more pressing and real issue behind these often rhetorically charged discussions is the dominance of choice in the social structuring of the modern world. Modernity and late-capitalism have constructed a world of transience, illusive immediacy, and hypermobility in which it is fundamentally the choices and preferences of individuals (provided that they possess enough capital) which determine the activities, affiliations, and practices of personal life. While various ecclesial traditions quibble about who is "voluntaristic" and who is "given", the truth of the matter is that late-capitalism has constructed us all as persons who approach life on the basis of the sovereignty of choice. Whether we are Roman Catholic of Protestant, we are all constructed as self-contained individuals whose concrete religous practices, geographic locations, and social affiliations are determined by the capitalist economy, rather than the ekklesia.
This is why Roman Catholic theologian Tracey Rowland is absolutely right to argue that the pressing issue for Christians concerned with the integrity of eccleisal life, practice, and witness is "not so much whether one is a self-described Protestant or Catholic, but that of where one stands in relation to the cultural formation described as 'modernity.'" The problem is that the integrity of our ecclesial traditions have become so fragmentary under capitalist discipline that they either have little ability to cultivate any sort of ecclesial ethos at all (many Protestants), or they maintain the ethos of tradition while losing the socially formative power of that tradition to the domination of the market, which structures and regulates the lives of its Christians (many Roman Catholics).
What Christians, whether they are Roman Catholic or Protestant are called to, is intentional devotion to and appropriation of their rootedness in the historical tradition of the church, begining with the story of Israel, climaxing in the history of Jesus, and carried on historical church in the power of the Spirit. The reality of choice, as constructed in late-capitalism as the all-powerful arbiter of shaping life, must be met head-on by Christians. The simple fact of the matter is that choice goes all the way down, whether we like it or not. We all have the option of leaving whenever we want. The market has given us this power. The vocation of Christians who wish to stand against the economic forces of fragmentation which seek to tear asunder the body of Christ is, more often than not to refuse to make the choices which capitalist order places in our laps. What is necessary is for Christians to take on an inherently self-limiting posture regarding their vocational and economic "options" in the world. One way in which this is being done, and has been done throughout the church's history is the monastic practice of vow-making, particularly embodied in the Benedictine vow of stability. Such modes of covenanted life, which limit, curtail, and stand against the proliferation of choice in the capitalist order are absolutely central in the cultivation of the kind of alternative eccleisal consciousness the church is called to be. In short, what is necessary if Christians are to embody an alternative to the economic hegemony of modernity and capitalism is that we be willing to be fools.

Doing my hair in the morning is often a chore, especially on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays after an aggressive night of one too many gin martinis and glasses of Veuve at fashion parties. To get myself ready for work in the morning means grabbing a flat iron or or my sock bun for quick and easy hair styles. There are only so many buns I can create in my hair. For quick hair style ideas, I reached out to Vanessa Fernandez of Butterfly Studio Salon to give me three new styles I can do in a jiffy before heading to work.
For a quick messy/chic look, try using the natural texture of your hair and a texture spray (like Davines For Wizards No. 14 Sea Salt Primer) to create separation.
Flip your head upside down; spray, scrunch, and smooth your hair up, twisting it until it's in a bun shape.
Secure with a hair tie.
This is a great style to get hair out of your face quickly and still look cute.
Using naturally air dried hair, create a deep side part and craft a braid using three small sections of hair and pulling towards the back of your head.
Secure with 2 bobby pins by crossing one over the other.
Setting hair in 2 braids can create natural waves. With your hair about 15% dry, apply a texture cream (try the Davines Defining Styling Cream) and divide hair into two sections.
Create one braid on each side, allowing both sections to sit for several hours.
Remove braids, flip head over and shake out for beautiful, wavy hair.
Apply a medium-hold hairspray (Davines For Wizards No. 9 Structuring Mist) to keep waves flowing.

Olympus E-520 review
Olympus launches the latest model to join its E-series range of DSLRs.
By TechRadar from Digital Camera 75

"The Olympus E-520 is probably the best mini hatchback of the DSLR world. It produces great colour and vibrant images, and it's ideal for travelling and offers plenty of creative opportunities. The Four-Thirds technology may put a few people off, but it's an easy camera to like and to use"
- Vibrant pictures
- Fantastic build quality
- Good price
- Nice to handle
- Easy to use
- Four-Thirds technology not for everyone

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the Bible for anti-Semites around the world. Allegedly, it describes a Jewish cabal's Evil Plan to Take Over the World in their own words — in short, the Trope Codifier for many an elaborate conspiracy theory today.First appearing in 1903, during the twilight years of Tsarist Russia, when anti-Semitism was at its height (pogroms and all that) and the House of Romanov looked like it was in trouble (it was), The Protocols are widely believed to be authored by the Okhrana, the Tsar's Secret Police — specifically, by Matvei Golovinski, journalist and Paris agent, on orders from then chief Pyotr Rachkovsky. The intended message boils down to, "All the problems in Russia are caused by the Jews, so don't blame the Tsar. Also, the Jews want you to overthrow the Tsar, so don't do that. In fact, the Tsar is the best thing to have happened to Russia since unification!" — granted, the Tsar was only mentioned sparingly and offhandedly, and the letters were written as though they were meant for dissemination in 19th-century France, but the point still stands.In 1921, Philip Graves, an Irish reporter and Constantinople correspondent for The Times, asserted the The Protocols to be a forgery, finding that much of it bore a distinct resemblance to The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, an 1864 satire against Napoleon III, written by French lawyer and Bourbon royalist Maurice Joly. But if you think this stopped people from believing in The Protocols, then boy are you very na�ve.The fall of the Romanovs and subsequent rise of the Soviets saw a mass exodus of White (anti-communist) Russians, many of whom brought copies of The Protocols with them, using them as tools of propaganda against the communist regime, believing it to be concocted by Jews (conveniently reinforced by the fact that both Vladimir Lenin and his ideological forebear Karl Marx were of Jewish stock).In 1920, Henry Ford brought The Protocols to the United States, where he published some 500,000 copies. You probably know Henry Ford as "that car guy", but there was another side to him. When a reporter pointed out to him that The Protocols had been exposed as fake, Ford replied, "The only statement I care to make about The Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old, and they have fit the world situation up to this time. They fit it now." Across the Atlantic, Ford's view was shared by a certain man in Germany, who would directly cite them in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. We're talking about Adolf Hitler, in case you're slow. It's been said that The Protocols were Hitler's "warrant for genocide". Eventually Ford declared he'd made a colossal mistake in publishing The Protocols and later printed articles attacking it in the Dearborne Independent (the newspaper he owned).In the West today, The Protocols continue to be circulated among neo-Nazi groups. However, the book's biggest contemporary success has been in the Middle East. The Protocols were believed authentic by Muammar Gaddafi and Osama bin Laden. In 2002, Egyptian television aired Knight Without A Horse, a Mini Series based on The Protocols. Saudi Arabian textbooks describe The Protocols as a genuine historical document. Protocols also inspired The Turner Diaries. And this is just scratching the surface.In 1993, a Russian court officially declared The Protocols to be an anti-Semitic forgery.

|NCIS > Xander-Centered > Pairing: Other
|This is an NCIS Los Angeles challenge.
Preferable timeline is after the collapse of Sunnydale. If using this timeline, it should be set during the current NCIS: LA timeline, which would account for Xander spending time in Africa as the new Council's man. The BTVS comics are to be considered non-canon.
After the death of agent Dominic Vail, instead of offering a position to Officer Deeks of the LAPD, Hetty recruits a weary Xander Harris, who's in LA to pay his respects to Cordelia and visit what's left of Sunnydale. He's just back from Africa after years of searching for Slayers, training them and setting up Slayer Houses, or getting them to Cleveland/England if necessary. Since basically, he's been the only Council operative in Africa for years, he's been all over the continent and witnessed all the evil that man and demon do there. It also means he's very well connected as he had to start from scratch setting up a Council presence, especially since the Council stayed far away from the continent due to whatever reasons. The weariness is partly because of that, partly because the rest of the Scoobs don't seem to grasp the importance of what he's been doing (no bashing please) and because now that everything is set up, suddenly the Council decides to put in someone who is more 'Council'.
Since the government has known about HSTs for a long time (invisible girl, Initiative etc.) the Scoobies have been on the radar. Hetty Lange decides that it might be a good idea to have someone on staff who knows about these things, as this is LA, home of one of Wolfram & Hart's branches and a city filled with demons, warlocks and other things of nightmares. Things they've not yet encountered but in their business, you never know what's lurking around the corner. Better to have someone around who knows what to do, right? And his African experiences and contacts rival those of most intelligence agencies.
He gets partnered with Kensi Blye. Another in a long line of kickass women, who take no prisoners and can give as good as they get in the banter department. She and the rest of the Office of Special Projects unit wonder who this one-eyed guy is, who is even more closed off about his past than Callan. Especially as they find out very little about him apart from him being from Sunnydale, former construction worker/project manager with extensive travel throughout Africa. And that he has a government file they can't crack.
Xander, being Xander, quickly forges geek friendships with Eric and Nell (those big screens in Ops? Perfect for WoW or FPS games, don't you think?) Lots of banter between the four field agents, while they try to figure the newest addition out.
Since Kensi has qualities of both Faith and Cordelia, the whole partnership sparks with banter, aggravation and the usual stuff that happens when Xander and a strong female are together. Extra points if the others rib her about the whole thing.
The story doesn't have to be concluded with a romance, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. It might be something that can be the start of a series of stories, starting out with the introduction of the new guy and the others trying to figure him out. It doesn't have to follow the canon NCIS: LA timeline as it currently stands but that's an added challenge for the writer themselves. I also realize that some people will object to a government agency hiring someone who has only one eye for fieldwork but remember, this is Hetty's bailiwick. Do you want to tell her no?

Politics are Involved
Secondary, political considerations are involved as well. It's seldom that a reviewer steps forward into one of these sessions without receiving "consultation" from higher-level management. Once that takes place the reviewer becomes a "spear carrier," and his or her credibility and image get tied to carrying out these instructions and agreements.
Benefits of Spending Time Alone
Getting through the days and doing activities you certainly meet and work with other people. If you still study at school, you have classmates and study together with them. If you're a worker, you have coworkers and work with them. Out of those places, you also have friends to hang out. You might also have boyfriend/girlfriend to have a date. As family member, you certainly also communicate with your family members. Absolutely, people's life is always surrounded by others.

They want them to know the skills and experiences required. All of this is presented on a continuum ranging from significant deficiencies to be remedied to next steps in one's growth and evolution.
Performance Evaluation: The Capstone Event in Giving Feedback and Advice (1)
How can any rationally thinking manager expect a subordinate to openly admit that there are essential lessons to learn at the precise moment that subordinate is most focused on getting positive marks, moving ahead, and maximizing pay? Why don't reviewers catch on?
Performance Evaluation
It's always struck us as a strange and amazing fact that a high percentage of managers and professionals receive direct and substantive feedback only once a year. That time, of course, is the company-mandated annual performance appraisal and pay review. Paradoxically, it's the precise time people are most likely to resist learning.

As you know, the Board of Regents has engaged Deloitte Consulting to do an independent, comprehensive administrative and academic review of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa.
The goal is to transform our universities so they are sustainable for the long term and true to their core academic missions of education, research and service as well as learning, discovery and engagement. We agree that we must adapt to a more sustainable model in order to keep our universities strong.
In June, Deloitte completed Phase I of the review and identified seventeen primary areas to continue to review and develop recommendations (business cases) for in Phase II. Twelve of these areas are in the area of administration.
The Board of Regents has already adopted the recommendations on Sourcing and Procurement, creating an application portal, standardizing Regent Admission Index (RAI) calculations, and streamlining the search committee process.
The remaining eight business cases are in the areas of Information Technology, Human Resources, Finance, and Facilities.
On Thursday, October 2nd, Deloitte will present their recommendations on these business cases to the Board of Regents for their review and discussion. This meeting will be streamed online. The link to the meeting can be found at: http://www.regents.iowa.gov/Meetings/agenda.html.
Subsequently, there will be a town hall meeting on each campus to discuss these cases as well. Below is the information about the upcoming town halls, which will also be streamed online.

21st-Century Smallholder
From Window Boxes To Allotments: How To Go Back To The Land Without Leaving Home
Achieving genuine self-sufficiency of the kind described in John Seymour's classic guide is sadly beyond the vast reach of the urban majority today. Few have the space, and for those few there are comprehensive guidebooks. But where do the rest of us look for the answers to questions like how much effort does it really take to grow your own food? Is beekeeping difficult? Is solar power really worth the bother?
From a small terraced house in the middle of a big city, Paul Waddington has made it his business to find out, and while trying it himself, has created a practical and absorbing guidebook along the way. It includes easy-to-read lists, tables, personal anecdote, and stunning illustrations, and more importantly demystifies the subject with practical tips that get to the heart of the matter to show you how you can enjoy the fulfilling aspects of the smallholding life without the hassle and expense of 'going all the way'. If you want to go back to the land without leaving home, this is the perfect guide.less

Main Characters are Pig, who is an utter idiot who understands words differently than most of the world, and Rat, who is smart, knows it, and would likely be a New Atheist because Rat's only God is Rat. The cartoonist himself is a minor character in his own strip (well, except for a story line where he was taken hostage by Buddhist terrorists for drawing the Buddha), along with Goat, who's actually pretty normal, Zebra, who lives next door to the Crocs, the Crocs, who are the ultimate redneck hillbilly idiots, and Little Guard Duck, who is a right wing gun nut. There's also an evil cat and Pigita, Pig's sometime on again/off again girlfriend.

Altuve has a .340 batting average that is three points ahead of Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez's .337 mark, and the team initially left Altuve out of the lineup to presumably protect his lead, though a big day by Martinez could have pushed his mark ahead of that of Altuve. However, the second baseman was passionate about playing in the season finale, and the team ultimately decided to acquiese to his wishes.
If he doesn't see action later in the game, Altuve will finish the season with a .340/.376/.451 line along with seven home runs, 58 RBI, 56 stolen bases and a league-leading 223 hits in 656 at-bats.
Altuve accounted for the team's only two hits of the night. He went 2 for 4, with two singles. The Astros were shut out, so Altuve did not register any runs or RBIs.
Altuve tied Craig Biggio's franchise record of 210 hits with a double in the fifth inning Tuesday, and No. 211 came on a seventh-inning single. The major-league leader in batting average, Altuve has hit .343/.379/.456 with seven home runs, 54 RBI and 52 stolen bases in 616 at-bats. He has 11 more games to add to his new record.
Altuve racked up his 200th hit of the season in the game, making him just the second player in franchise history to reach 200 hits (Craig Biggio). He's third in the majors with 41 doubles and also third in the majors with 52 stolen bases while mainting a large lead on the hits leaderboard. Altuve has hit .336/.373/.447 with seven home runs and 51 RBI in 595 at-bats.
Altuve stepped to the plate with two men on in the sixth inning. He delivered, hitting a two-run double to left. It was his only hit of the night. He finished 1 for 4, with two RBI.
The Astros got a break when manager Bo Porter won a challenge after Bogaerts picked up Marwin Gonzalez's grounder, ran to second for what looked like a force and fired to first. The problem was he threw the ball about a step before he tagged the bag.
The inning continued after the challenge. Joe Kelly then walked Robbie Grossman before Altuve parked a grand slam to put Boston up 6-0 in the second inning.
''That there's a big play,'' said Porter, who said he was first told by the umpires that the play wasn't reviewable. ''You look at that stage of the game and what proceeded to happen after that, Altuve with the big grand slam, one could say that was the biggest play of the game.''
Altuve finished Sunday's game with four hits. He is batting .338 with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 11 runs in 15 August games.
"They just told me to sit the bench today, and I'm going to be ready to pinch-hit and pinch-run," Altuve said Saturday.
Altuve left Friday's game with neck discomfort.
Altuve leads the major leagues with 158 hits and ranks third with a .333 batting average.
Altuve went 0 for 3 in the outing before coming out with the injury. He's day-to-day until more is known about the extent of the issue. Altuve has hit .333/.369/.434 with four home runs, 34 RBI and 45 stolen bases in 475 at-bats.
In his first at-bat Altuve took a 91 mph fastball out to left for a left field for a solo shot. The play was reviewed, but the ruling was ultimately upheld. Altuve would also single twice later in the contest. Altuve finished 3 for 4, with one run scored and one RBI.
He's hitting .336/.373/.443 in 402 at-bats.
Altuve enjoyed an incredible stretch at the end of June when he stole at least one base in seven straight games while also recording four straight two-steal games during his streak. He's managed just four steals in the first half of July, with all coming during a three-game span. Altuve has been much more than just a stolen-base threat, collecting a major-league-best 130 hits in the first half while posting a .335/.373/.436 line with two home runs and 27 RBI in 288 at-bats.
Altuve is batting .463 (31 for 67) with a .500 on-base percentage, .552 slugging percentage and 1.052 OPS in his last 17 games. He has 14 stolen bases in that span.
Altuve was dealing with a swollen left elbow after the game, but he said the injury won't keep him from playing Tuesday, MLB.com reports. His stolen base gives him a steal in a franchise-record seven straight games. Altuve has hit .344/.385/.448 with two home runs, 26 RBI and 37 stolen bases in 337 at-bats.
It was the fourth straight game in which Altuve swiped two bases and the sixth straight in which he recorded at least one steal. He also has four straight multihit efforts as he attempts to put together a darkhorse MVP candidacy. Altuve has hit .347/.386/.452 with two home runs, 26 RBI and 36 stolen bases in 334 at-bats.
Altuve hit three singles and a double during the contest. He also stole two bases during the contest, including a steal of home in the fifth inning. Altuve finished 4 for 5, with two runs scored and one RBI. Altuve is hitting .342/.382/.446 over 325 at-bats.
He's batting .318/.359/.428 in 283 at-bats.
Altuve is dealing with a hand injury, but there was a chance he would be able to make the start. Over 282 at-abts, Altuve is hitting .319/.361/.429.
Altuve asked Bo Porter if he could play Saturday. The reply was that he needed to sit one more day, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Altuve was removed from the game Thursday after getting nailed on the hand by a pitch. He has not played since.
Altuve, who has hit safely in nine of 10 games played in June, sustained the injury Thursday night on a hit-by-pitch. He had played in all but one of his team's games this season.
Altuve grounded out his first time up, but reached base in each of his last three plate appearances. Altuve doubled in the third, singled in the fifth and singled again in the seventh. Despite being on base three times, Altuve did not score any runs. He finished 3 for 4, with zero runs scored and no RBI.
Altuve is hitting .325/.368/.440 in 234 at-bats.
Altuve has appeared in the third and fourth spots of the order primarly while also batting second one, and he had performed well before Friday's hitless game. He owns a .268/.348/.366 line with five RBI and three stolen bases in 41 at-bats.
The diminutive Altuve is an odd fit on the surface for the key lineup spot, but he made it work for one game at least, helping lead the team to a 6-0 lead after two innings. He's topped 30 stolen bases in each of the last two seasons but has just 14 home runs in 1,423 major-league at-bats heading into 2014.
The team lacks power hitters with enough plate discipline to warrant holding down that spot in the lineup. Altuve hit just 12 home runs over the past two seasons combined, but his .286 battting average during that span makes him a credible candidate on the weak-hitting Astros.
Grossman posted a .381 OBP throughout his minor league career and managed a .351 mark in that department after his second callup by Houston last season.
In his third season with the Astros, Altuve hit .283 with 35 stolen bases.
Altuve finished with two singles and a double in four at-bats. He also scored a run. Altuve's season remains disappointing, however, as he is hitting just .270/.306/.346.
Altuve is dealing with some quad pain, and is not in the team's starting lineup Monday. He'll be rested regularly and may DH until he's 100 percent healthy, according to manager Bo Porter. Altuve is hitting .282/.321/.362 in 436 at-bats.
Altuve started the past three days, but is still playing through some pain. He'll take Monday to rest his sore quad. Altuve is hitting .282/.321/.362 in 436 at-bats.
"He doesn't have that burst of speed we're used to seeing," manager Bo Porter said. "You look at the [double] last night, that probably would have been a triple if he's completely healthy. I think he scores from second base easy on that single, too. At the same time, he's not coming out of the lineup. As the manager and the training staff, we do have to monitor it and protect him from himself."
Altuve went 1 for 4 Sunday in a loss to the Rangers. He doubled and is batting .282 on the season.
Altuve has picked up hits in 10 of his last 11 games while missing three games during that stretch. He owns a .282/.321/.261 line with four home runs, 40 RBI and 29 stolen bases in 432 at-bats.
Altuve, who also struck out three times in his team's 6-4 loss to the Twins, has hit .283/.321/.362 with four home runs, 35 RBI and 26 stolen bases in 406 at-bats.
Altuve, who last played July 31 at Baltimore, has gone 6 for 14 over a four-game hitting streak entering Saturday's game.
Altuve is dealing with a left quad issue, and needed to miss a game. Altuve had left Saturday's game with quad soreness, but has been able to play the past two games. He's hitting .284/.323/.362 in 401 at-bats.
Altuve hit second for the Astros and drove in two runs in the game. He went 2 for 4 with two singles and is batting .282 on the year.
Altuve, who will hope to return to action Tuesday at Baltimore, is batting .280 for the year with four homers and 32 RBI. He has also stolen 25 bases.
The No. 2 hitter in the Houston lineup finished the game 2 for 4 and is batting .282 on the year.
Altuve, who is 23 years of age, has driven in a run in four of the six games in which the Astros have played since the All-Star break. He has 32 RBI on the season.
"I actually wish I could hit him one through nine, but they won't let me do that," manager Bo Porter joked, per MLB.com. "He's going to hit one or two. It all depends on who else is in the lineup. A lot of time it has to do with the other eight guys as to where he'll hit."
The 23-year-old Altuve is batting .280 with three home runs and 28 RBI with 21 stolen bases over 86 games.
Altuve went 3 for 4, all singles, and scored Houston's only run in a 3-1 loss. He stole third base and second twice and has 16 steals to go with a .295 batting average.
The 23-year-old has seven stolen bases in his last seven games.
Altuve picked right up where he left off, as the sixth-inning single extended his hitting streak to nine games. He owns a .297 batting average in 236 at-bats.
Batting .297 on the season with three homers and 22 RBI, Altuve is on an eight-game hitting streak in which he's gone 9 for 36 (.250) with one homer and one RBI.
According to the team's radio analyst, Altuve could have played Friday, but the team is being careful with him. He will likely return to the starting lineup Saturday.
Altuve is likely to miss Friday's game, though it's unclear if he'll be available to pinch hit. He would be eligible to return Saturday against Royals starter Ervin Santana.
Altuve is hitting .297/.335/.397 in 232 at-bats this season.
Altuve is expected to return Friday against Royals starter James Shields. Marwin Gonzalez will replace Altuve at second and hit ninth Thursday.
Altuve has played in 56 games and doesn't often miss time. He's coming off a game in which he hit his third home run of the season. He'll be replaced by Marwin Gonzalez, who will hit ninth.
Altuve is hitting .297/.335/.397 in 232 at-bats.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Altuve took a Steve Johnson changeup to left field for a solo home run. Altuve added a single and scored two runs. He is hitting .297/.335/.397 in 232 at-bats.
My hopes for Altuve to experience at least a minor power boost were based on his minor-league record, which showed that the Astros' 5-foot-5 two-hole hitter had surprising clout. His spray chart on TexasLeaguers.com shows that he still has the capability to hit the ball deep. With just a little more distance, Altuve would already be delivering on some of the promise he showed as a prospect.
Factor in a 25 percent line drive rate, and Altuve is already providing some evidence that he could be a sneaky source of extra-base power going forward.
Altuve has been in a slump for several weeks. He has just three multi-hit games in his last 20 starts, batting .210 (17 for 18) in that span. His batting average was .345 before his recent 20-game slide.
"I don't worry about Jose Altuve because this guy can hit," manager Bo Porter said, per MLB.com. "Altuve can go 3-for-10 and it may be 1-for-3, 1-for-3, 1-for-4 and everyone will be like, 'What's wrong with Altuve?' Because we are used to him getting two hits per game. We also know he can go 12-for-15. It's all going to even out and at the end of the year, he's going to be near the top of the American League in hits and average."
Altuve has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, but he's watched his average steadily decline after a hot start to the season. He takes a .300/.341/.390 line into June.
Altuve rejoined Scott Pucino and Wil Polidor of Octagon, where he left about a year ago for Boras. Altuve is still under team control through the 2017 season, so he won't be a free agent anytime soon. He won't be arbitration-eligible until 2015. Altuve is hitting .327/.361/.430 in 165 at-bats.
Altuve, who has also been dealing with a jaw injury, has hit .342/.378/.449 in 172 plate appearances.
Twelve of Altuve's 50 hits have gone for extra bases and he entered Saturday's tilt hitting .342/.384/.459 with two home runs and 17 RBI over 146 at-bats.
Altuve scored twice and knocked in two runs. Altuve hit third for the first time this season, a spot that should serve him much better in terms of RBI chances than the leadoff role, where he's been slotted in 22 of 33 games. It will be worth watching if manager Bo Porter sticks with a similar lineup going forward.
He drove in a run in the seventh inning on an infield single that scored Marwin Gonzalez. Altuve has 15 RBI and is hitting .333.
The 22-year-old has four multi-hit games in his last five and is 9 for 25 (.360) over that span with three RBI and two doubles.
Altuve entered Tuesday batting .327 with a homer, six doubles and 12 RBI. The 22-year-old also two steals.
Altuve has hit safely in seven of his last eight games and is leading his team in batting this season with a .365/.412/.460 line in 68 plate appearances. He'll try to stay hot when the Astros open a series against the Indians Friday.
Altuve, who was caught stealing on his first stolen-base attempt Tuesday, has hit safely in six of his last seven games. He's batting .400 (12 for 30) with one home run, two doubles, three walks, five runs and five RBI in that span.
"We showed today what the team really has," Altuve said. "I guess the guys wake up today. I look at it that way."
Altuve finished 4 for 6 with four RBI, two runs and one double. Altuve, who was hitless in his previous two games, is batting .353 (12 for 34) with two doubles and four RBI in eight games.
Altuve, who had a walk, is batting .333 after starting with a five-game hitting streak. He has an extra-base hit (double) and has driven in two runs.
For starters, his splits last year were better when he batted second (.711 OPS as No. 1 vs. .776 OPS as No. 2). Sure, he stole bases at a more imperssive rate as the leadoff hitter, but Altuve hit double-digit home runs in his last two years in the minors, as he was developing some nice power to complement the steals. It's not like leadoff hitters don't hit for power, but Altuve batting second would have fostered that power a little more than having him hit first.
It's nitpicking because he'll probably score more runs from the leadoff spot and will get the steals, but Altuve may surprise some people with his power potential if put in the right scenario. I'd still expect him to have a brush with 10-12 homers, but it would have been nice to see what he could have done from the No. 2 spot in the lineup.
Porter added that Altuve is the only position player locked into a spot in the lineup. All other spots in the batting order will likely change.

The Media Needs To Stop Guessing And Set Standards For Live-Tweeting 'Breaking' News
Yesterday, in the midst of a tense police shootout with alleged killer and ex-cop, Christopher Dorner, law enforcement asked the media to stop tweeting about the event.
Crazy, right? Even crazier? Many did.
Crazier than THAT? News organizations proceeded to live-tweet so many 'breaking' inaccuracies, it became a running joke on Twitter.

KANO, Nigeria (CBS) -- Police say a child bride forced into marriage in Nigeria prepared a poisoned meal that has killed her groom and three of his friends.
They quote 14-year-old Wasila Umaru as saying she used rat poison in the food because she was forced to marry a man she did not love.
The couple was married last week. The 35-year-old groom had invited a dozen friends to celebrate at his village 60 miles from the north Nigerian city of Kano over the weekend.
Child marriage is common in Nigeria and especially in the mainly Muslim north.
Assistant police superintendent Musa Magaji Majia said Thursday that the teenage suspect is cooperating with police and probably will be charged with culpable homicide.
