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

some parts, especially the ones about the Hamas-Israel deal and the
incident involving the Copts in Cairo.

From the Mediterranean to the Hindu Kush
For Stratfor, the region between the Mediterranean and the Hindu Kush has
been the main arena for the U.S. intervention that followed September
11th. Obviously this was an old area of engagement, but 9-11 redefined it
as the prime area in which the U.S. confronted Jihadists. That struggle
has had many phases, but it appears to us that over the last weeks the
struggle has begun to enter a new phase.
Some of these processes we expected. Others frankly surprised us. We
expected tensions between Iran and its neighboring countries to rise as
the U.S. withdrew from Iraq and Iran became more assertive. We expected
U.S.-Pakistani relations to reach a crisis before viable negotiations with
the Taliban were made possible. But we also expected Hamas to respond to
events in Egypt and to the Palestine National Authority's search for
legitimacy through pursuit of UN recognition by trying to create a massive
crisis with Israel. Here we were clearly wrong, as Hamas moved instead to
reach a deal on prisoner exchanges, reducing tensions.
Our reasoning on Hamas was that creating a crisis with Israel would
strengthen anti-government forces in Egypt, increasing the chances for
creating a new regime that would end the blockade of Gaza and suspend the
peace treaty with Israel. We also thought that intense rocket fire into
Israel would force Fatah to support an Intifada or be marginalized by
Hamas. Obviously we were wrong. Keep in mind that there was a significant
internal debate within the company over this (I and others didn't see this
as inevitable). We should point out that there was considerable debate
within the company as opposed to just saying that we were flat out wrong.
Our error was rooted in our failure to understand how the first process,
the emergence of Iranian-Arab hostility would limit Hamas' options. We
also missed the fact that given the weakness of the government opposition
forces in Egypt-something we had written about extensively-Hamas would not
see an opportunity to reshaped Egyptian policies. I had been pointing out
that Hamas never sought to re-shape Egyptian policies in the short term.
This was always a long-term project The main forces in the region,
particularly the failure of the Arab Spring Can we just say unrest? By
using the word `spring' we are attesting to the conventional wisdom on the
issue in Egypt and the intensification of Iran's rise obviated our logic
on Hamas. Unless something falls apart-always a real possibility in the
region-Shalit will be exchanged for one thousand Palestinian prisoners,
marking a new stage in Israel-Hamas relations. Let's consider how this is
related to Iran and Pakistan.
The American withdrawal from Iraq is reaching its final phase. Some
troops will possibly be left in Kurdistan but not sufficient forces to
shape events in Iraq. Actually there will be less than 200 hundred as per
the latest reports The Iranians will not be in control of Iraq, but they
have sufficient allies both in the government and in groups outside that
Iran will have the ability to block policies they oppose politically or
through disruption. They will not govern but no one will be able to govern
in direct opposition to them.
The Iranians tested their strength in Bahrain, where Shiites rose up
against their Sunni government with Iranian support. This is another issue
over which we have an internal debate. There are some of us who believe
Iran has limited capabilities when it comes to Bahrain. Hence the Saudi
ability to lock down the island - at least for the foreseeable future.
Saudi Arabia, linked by a causeway to Bahrain, perceived this as a test of
their resolve, and they intervened in Bahrain with military force,
suppressing the demonstrators and blocking the Iranians. To Iran, Bahrain
was simply a probe, and its failure did not represent a major reversal.
The main game for them was in Iraq. If Iraq fell under significant
Iranian influence, then Iran's presence would to the west into Lebanon.
The Syrian regime was allied with Iran, and it in turn jointly supported
Hezbollah in Lebanon. The U.S. withdrawal opened the door to a sphere of
Iranian influence running along the southern Turkish border and along the
northern border of Saudi Arabia.
The origins of the uprising against the Assad government in Syria are
murky. It emerged during the general instability in the Arab world last
Spring, but it took a different course. The Assad regime neither
collapsed, nor was Assad himself replaced by another supporter of the
regime as happened in Egypt, nor did the opposition simply disintegrate.
In our view the opposition was never as powerful as the Western media
portrayed it, nor was the Assad regime as weak. It has held on far longer
than others expected and it shows no inclination to capitulate. Assad,
for one thing, has nowhere to go given the international courts that
exist, and therefore a negotiated exit is difficult. But Assad does not
see himself as leaving.
Two governments have emerged as particularly hostile to Assad: the Saudi
and the Turkish government. The Turks attempted to negotiation a solution
in Syria and were rebuffed by Assad. It is not clear the extent to which
they see Syria simply as an isolated problem along their border, or as
part of a generalized Iranian threat. But it is clear that the Saudis are
extremely sensitive to the Iranian threat and see the fall of the Assad
regime as essential for limiting the Iranians.
In this context, the last thing that the Saudis wanted to see at this
point was conflict with Israel. A war in Gaza would have given the Assad
regime an opportunity to engage with Israel, at least through Hezbollah,
and portray his opponents as undermining his struggle against Israel-and
give Assad the opportunity to invite Iranian help against Israel and not
incidentally, to sustain his regime.
It was not clear that Saudi support for Syrian Sunnis would be enough to
force the Assad regime to collapse, but it is clear that a war with Israel
would have made it much more difficult to bring it down. Whether Hamas
was inclined toward another round of fighting with Israel is unclear. What
is clear was that the Saudis, seeing themselves as caught in a struggle
with Iran, was not going to hand the Iranians an excuse to get more
involved than they were. They reined in any appetite Hamas may have had
for war. But there was no way for the Saudis to rein in Hezbollah which
could have been used by the Syrians and the Iranians to start a war, which
could have led to a war on the Israeli-Gaza border.
Hamas also saw its hopes in Egypt dissolving. From Hamas' point of view,
instability in Egypt opened the door for regime change. For an extended
period of time, the possibility that the first phase of unrest would be
followed either by elections that Islamists might win, or another wave of
unrest that would actually topple the regime. I really disagree with this
point. Hamas never viewed it this way. This is how we may think of its
perspective but this was certainly not how Hamas saw the chessboard. It
became clear months ago that the entire opposition to the regime was too
divided replace it. But it was last week that the power of the regime
became clear. What power? The regime has been on the defensive over the
incident involving the Copts. It is facing an even tougher situation than
The Coptic demonstration gave the government the opportunity to
demonstrate its resolve and capabilities without directly engaging
Islamist groups. This was an incident that the military regime didn't
want. As it is it is having a hard time moving towards elections. The
regime acted brutally and efficiently to crush the demonstrations and as
important, did so with Islamist elements who took to the streets beating
Copts. It wasn't a big demo to begin with. More like a riot of a few
thousand people. It had to be crushed. There was no way it could have gone
on long enough, especially with the general public against sectarian
violence. The streets belonged to the military and to the Islamist mobs,
fighting on the same side. Two things emerged from this. First, the
military regime is not simply going to give up power. The entire way in
which the military has been behaving since Mub was toppled shows that the
regime is not going to give up power. Second, the regime is prepared to
pursue some policies that the Islamists wants. This gives the Islamists
more than they are likely to win an election, creating a de facto
alliance-and forcing the Islamists to swallow other things. Two problems
here. First, how do we know that this was not just one of those situations
where the military had to use force to quell a riot by Copts in which
Muslims (not just Islamists) joined in? You seem to be alluding to the
incident as being planned. In the heat of the moment you do what has to be
done to restore order. Second, we cannot simply just say Islamists. There
are half a dozen different types now. Who is it that we are talking about?
Clearly the MB is not into fighting with the Copts. That is done by some
Salafists (keep in mind that there are 3-4 different Salafist groups as
well). The other thing is that when it comes to Copts it isn't just
Islamists but the average religious Muslim who gets fired up and starts to
One of the things they had to swallow was the fact that it was the
Egyptian government that was instrumental in negotiating the prisoner
exchange. Normally Islamists would have opposed even the process of
negotiation, let alone its success. But given what had happened a week
before, the Islamists were content not to make an issue of the Egyptian
government's deal making. Again depends on who we are talking about when
we say Islamists. The MB was on board with this process. MB and Hamas
coordinate through the global leadership committee that includes MBs in
other countries as well. Nor would the Saudis underwrite Egyptian unrest
as they would Syrian unrest. With Iran become more powerful and Syria not
going the way the Saudis wanted, the last thing the Saudis wanted was
chaos in the largest Arab country, and one that has never been on good
terms with Iran.
In the midst of all of this, the United States announced the arrest of
someone who was trying to hire a Mexican to kill the Saudi ambassador to
the United States. The Mexican turned out to be a DEA agent. There was
serious discussion of how serious the plot was, and based on the evidence
released, it was not particularly impressively.
Nevertheless-and this is the important part-the Obama administration
decided that this was an intolerable event that required more aggressive
measures against Iran. The Saudis have been asking the U.S. for some
public action against Iran both to relieve the pressure on Saudi Arabia,
and to make it clear that the United States was committed to confronting
Iran alongside the Saudis. There may well be more evidence on the matter
making it more serious than it appeared, but what is clear is that the
United States intended to use the plot to increase the
pressure-psychologically at least-beyond the fairly desultory approach the
administration had taken for a while. They even threw the nuclear
question back on the table, a subject on which everyone had been
lackadaisical for a while.
The Saudi nightmare has been that the United States would choose to reach
a modus vivendi with Iran in order to create a stable order in the region
and guarantee the flow of oil. We have discussed this possibility in the
past, pointing out that American interests in protecting Saudi Arabia is
not an absolute, and that the United States might choose to deal with the
Iranians, neither regime being particularly attractive to the United
States and history never being a guide to what the U.S. might do next.
The Saudis were obviously delighted with the rhetorical response made by
the U.S. to the assassination attempt. It not only assuaged the Saudi's
feeling of isolation, but it also seemed to close the door on side deals.
At the same time, the possibility of Saudi trying to arrange its own deal
with Iran before the U.S. made a move had to have concerned the United
States. With this action, the U.S. joined itself at the hip with the
Saudis in an anti-Iranian coalition.
The Israelis had nothing to complain about either. They do not want the
Alawite regime to fall, worried at what a Sunni and potentially Islamist
regime would mean in Syria. They know the Assads, and prefer the known to
the unknown. The Saudi support for his opponents bothers the Israelis,
but its not likely to work. A Turkish military intervention bothers them
more. But, in the end, Iran is what worries them the most, and any sign
that the Obama administration is reacting to the Iranians, whatever the
motives (and even if there is no clear motive) makes them happy. They
want a deal on Shalit, but even if the price was high, this was not the
time to get the U.S. focused on them rather than the Iranians. The
Israelis might be prepared to go farther in negotiations with Hamas if the
United States focuses on Iran. And Hamas will go further with Israel, if
the Saudis tell them to, which is a price they will happily pay for a
focus on Iran. I disagree. The Saudis don't have the leverage over Hamas
that they used to. Many Saudis have been critical of their government's
antagonistic approach towards Hamas, which they say has led to Iran
exploiting the situation.
For the United States, there is another dimension to the Iran
focus-Pakistan. The Pakistani view of the United States, as expressed by
many prominent Pakistanis, is that the United States has lost the war
against Taliban. That means that any negotiations that take place are
simply about the how the United States "retreats" in their words, rather
than on a Pakistani guarantees for support against radical (jihadists are
radical by definition) Jihadists coupled with a withdrawal process. If
the Pakistanis are right, and the United States has been defeated, then
obviously, their negotiating position is correct.
For there to be any progress in talks with the Taliban and Pakistan, the
United States must demonstrate that it has not been defeated. To be more
precise, it must demonstrate that while it might not win the war, defined
as creating a democratic Afghanistan, the United States is prepared to
indefinitely conduct operations against Jihadists, including Predator and
special operations strikes in Pakistan and that it might move into an even
closer relationship with India if Pakistan resists. There can be no
withdrawal unless the Pakistanis understand that there is no overwhelming
pressure in the United States to withdraw. In addition, withdrawal does
not mean operations against Jihadists nor strategic realignment with
India. The United States needs to demonstrate to Pakistan the risks it is
running when it assumes that the failure to win all goals means the United
States has been defeated.
Obama's reaction on the Iran affair is therefore a vital psychological
move against Pakistan. The Pakistani narrative is that the United States
is simply incapable of asserting its power in the region. The U.S. answer
is that it is not only capable of asserting substantial power in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, but it is not adverse to confronting Iran over
an attempted assassination in the United States. How serious the attempt
was, who authorized it in Iran, and so on are not important. If Obama has
overreacted it is an overreaction that will cause talk in Islamabad.
There are many moving parts. We do not know exactly how far Obama is
prepared to take the Iran issue, or whether it will evaporate. We do not
know if the Assad regime will survive and what Turkey and Saudi Arabia
will do about it. We do not know whether, in the end, the Egyptian regime
will survive. We do not know whether the Pakistanis will understand the
message being sent them.
What we do know is this. The crisis over Iran that we expected by the end
of the year is here. It effects calculations from Cairo to Islamabad. It
changes other equations, including the Hamas-Israeli equation. It is a
crisis everyone expected, but no one quite knows how to play. The U.S.
does not have a roadmap and neither to the Iranians. But this is a
historic opportunity for Iran, and a fundamental challenge to the Saudis.
The United States has put some chips on the table, but not any big ones.
But the fact that Obama did overreact if that's what it was is significant
of itself.

"We are not only using this as an opportunity to thank these officials for their service to our community but the goal of our Safety Summit is to be prepared in case of a crisis at the school," said Kristen Smith, Bell Academy science lab specialist.
Officials in attendance included Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell, Delta State Police Chief Buford, Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams, Emergency Management Agency Director Bill Quinton, Fire Inspector Gene Bishop, Cleveland School Board Member Maurice Lucas, Delta Community Mental Health Agency Representatives Dondolyn Miller and Karissa Marshall, Bolivar County Fire Chief Lee Tedder, school nurse Mandy Wilburn and Bolivar County Coroner Murray Roark.
Bell Academy Principal Sonya Swafford said the idea for the summit came from Delta State's recent Safety Summit.
"We want to make sure that safety responders know who we are and know about our building," said Swafford.
Each official was given a detailed map of the school and a crisis management plan and emergency procedures.
Smith led the group on a tour of the school, reviewing all of the exits, while Swafford reviewed the safety of the school.
"We just got a wonderful security system outside and our next step is to get one inside and hopefully to get a door buzzer.
"We are progressively working towards safety," said Swafford.
Bishop pointed out that while the fire department has a map of the school, it would be beneficial for other officials to have one as well.
"I'm sure the police department would be very interested to have one. This would be good for them," said Bishop.
The school continues to work diligently to keep students safe at all times.
Now that children can be dropped off rather than bussed in, the school worked with landowners next door to create a car pool area in an effort to keep traffic off U.S. Highway 61.
"We have cars on one side and busses on the front now, so that has helped as far as preventing a safety problem," said Swafford.
Swafford explained that they also have someone that walks out into the cross section in order to help control traffic.
"We were very pleased with number of community officials that took time out of their busy schedules to learn more information about Bell Academy," said Smith.
"We plan to update any new officials annually."

Statistics About Skin Cancer
Some people use statistics to try to figure out their chances of getting cancer or of being cured. However, statistics show what happens to large groups of people. Because no two people are alike, statistics can't be used to predict what will happen to a particular person.
Skin cancer is by far the most common type of cancer. Types of skin cancer include the more common nonmelanoma (basal and squamous cell) cancers and the less common melanomas.
Here are some 2013 statistics about melanoma from the American Cancer Society (ACS):
About 76,690 people in the U.S. will get melanoma this year.
Rates of melanoma have been increasing for at least 30 years.
Melanoma is more often found in white people. They are about 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma than African-Americans.
Before age 40, melanoma is more common in women than in men; after 40, rates are almost twice as high in men as in women.
About 9,480 people will die from melanoma this year.
Here are statistics about nonmelanoma skin cancer from the ACS for 2013:
About 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancers are diagnosed each year (in about 2.2 million people), but it's hard to estimate these numbers because nonmelanoma skin cancers are not required to be reported to cancer registries.
White Americans are much more likely to get skin cancer than African-Americans. People with fair (light-colored) skin that freckles or burns easily are at especially high risk.
Nearly all basal and squamous cell cancers can be cured, especially if the cancer is found and treated early—when it's small and has not spread.

This work presents new Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) models in both 2D and 3D of the effect of using vascular stents as treatment of cerebral berry aneurysms. The stent is positioned inside the cerebral artery covering the neck of the aneurysm. The stent is expected to alter the blood flow into the aneurysm such that the blood coagulates due to low blood velocity, and rupture of the aneurysm ...

Argentina: Buenos Aires Feast
Argentina's grass-fed beef and inky Malbecs go together like perfect tango partners. Here, the steps to memorable eating (and drinking) in three Buenos Aires neighborhoods.
Recoleta: Taste how Malbecs vary by region at marble-clad Vinoteca (Palacio Duhau, 1661 Avda. Alvear; tastings for two $120). Sommelier Fabio Masdeu matches labels from his 7,000-bottle cellar with cheeses made in the nearby town of Suipacha. A five-minute stroll away, your introduction to traditional Argentinean cuisine awaits at Fervor (dinner for two $70). Order the classic asado de tira, 14-inch, crosscut ribs dry-aged for 35 days.
Palermo: At the limestone-clad tasting room of Patagonian winery Bodega del Fin del Mundo (5673 Honduras; tastings for two $45), flights follow a single varietal through several vintages; pair them with enticing tapas such as beef carpaccio with capers. A few blocks south at La Cabrera (5099 Cabrera; dinner for two $60), waiters in berets serve gargantuan side dishes—squash; Andean potatoes—along with cuts of sizzling beef grilled with rosemary and thyme.
San Telmo: Year-old wine store and cantina Aldo's (372 Moreno; 54-11/5291-2380; tastings for two $40) is staffed with no fewer than nine sommeliers. Join a Thursday tasting of wines exclusive to Aldo's, such as SonVida Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 from Altamira winemaker Alejandro Vigil. Then make your way up the plaza-lined Calle Defensa to La Brigada (dinner for two $60). Ebullient owner Hugo Echavarrieta buys the free-range, alfalfa-fed beef from the Pampa Húmeda region himself: ask which cut is the day's tastiest, and he'll grill it up to perfection. —Colin Barraclough
Bringing Wine Home
Forget shipping wine back. In the U.S., an import license is needed for even a single bottle. Instead, ask an expert to pack your treasures and check them along with your luggage. Wine shop 0800-VINO delivers day or night, anywhere in the city, within the hour, while Recoleta's Grand Cru wraps bottles in polystyrene confetti to limit shake. Claim the 15 percent tax rebate upon departure from Argentina, and declare your wine when you arrive. U.S. Customs allows up to one liter, and after that a duty of about $2 per bottle applies.
T+L Tip: stay in Recoleta at the new 30-room Mio (doubles from $270), owned by the Catena winemaking family—mini-bars are stocked with standout regional bottles.

To request a memorial transfer or edit, please go to the MEMORIAL PAGE and use the EDIT LINK. If sending obit text, please include the source. Thanks!
Tip: Before creating ANY new memorial, PLEASE search the site first. If one already exists for that person, request a transfer. PLEASE don't create a new one. Duplicate memorials leads to confusion for other researchers and a big mess when it comes to linking family members.
All edits and transfers sent my way are current as of 07/18/2014.
I am glad to see that FindAGrave records now show up in Ancestrydotcom searches. This has given me some info on distant family.
I am happy to transfer memorials to families to update and maintain. Find A Grave has helped me in my family history and I'm glad to share info that helps others.
If I have uploaded a photo you wish to use, please feel free to right-click on the picture and save it to use as you wish in your genealogy work.
If a memorial is a duplicate, please check the dates of both memorials & notify the creator of the newer one. I always try to search for an existing memorial before creating a new one and recommend this practice to anyone contributing to Find A Grave. It saves time and keeps the database accurate.
My interests include: nature, photography, knitting & crochet, and munzee-ing. I pay the bills as a software engineer.
I call the Midwest home. I traipse all over it.
I believe everyone who's walked the earth deserves to be remembered. Each life impacts another in great and seemingly small ways. For this reason, I create memorials for family and strangers alike. I hope the memorials I add provide people with information they need on their ancestors as well as serve as a place of remembrance.

Good Morning, I found that you had started and added photos of Rudolph & Julia Karlik. I was wondering: Are you of any relation to them? I am trying to find out if there is a link to my family. They were the other Karlik family in South Omaha at the same time as my family. Thank you :)

Me again
Okay, from what I can see, you manage the following Braack memorials:
John (b. 1846), Anna A. (b. 1849), Elmer, and Gladys.
Elmer is good; he is properly linked to his parents, Henry and Anna (b. 1886).
I have sent you the edit with the link so John can be linked to his proper wife, Anna, whose memorial you also manage.
Gladys is another story. She was the daughter of Henry and Anna (b.1886), but I can see no evidence that she ever married (I actually believe that John and the elder Anna may have been her grandparents). It seems she shifted from the family home when she was around 11-13 into the home of her aunt and uncle, the Thadens. I believe you also manage them.
I don't know what happened with her parents, Henry and Anna, but they dropped off the radar by the time the 1930 census rolled around. Obviously they were somewhere, and we know where they were buried, but something happened. Don't know what though.
Okay, preping the info for Gladys, which you will be receiving shortly,

I am about to do it again!!!!!
Okay, Henry (1879), and not John, is the father of those children, per Elmer's obit. Anna (b. 1886), is their mom.
John (b. 1846) is married to the other Anna (b. 1849), and not to Gladys. Maybe these are even Henry's (1879) parents, and I just may snoop around to find out. Soooo frustrating.
Gladys appears to be going by Braack as a maiden name.
Lemme get on this. Thanks again,

It's a Basquiat, Baby
Mogul and mastermind Jay Z has reportedly purchased a $4.5 million Basquiat painting. The painting was done with oil paint and is an orange, white and black picture of the Empire State Building with the famous Basquiat crown. Glad to know that hip hop isn't just rapping about art, but that they're becoming a huge part of the art world. Dope move, Jay.

Hello fellow Deathwatchers!
I've been scouring the web since I picked up the Deathwatch book in hopes of finding a recruiting Deathwatch pbp game.
I see other people here looking for the same thing.
I am coming up empty in my search. I find abandoned ones, or ones where nobody replies to inquiries about joining.
Surely there are enough people perusing this forum to put together a game. So whattya say?
Lets play some Deathwatch!
If you are interested in playing, reply below. And if you are interested in GM-ing note that too. I'm not in a position to run a game right now but I'd gladly play if someone would want to run one.
I have webspace if we need a message board to play on.
Lets do this!

As he packed up his things from the locker room, Devin Hester reacts to the news that coach Lovie Smith was fired as head coach of the Chicago Bears at Halas Hall in Lake Forest on Monday, December 31, 2012. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Related Stories
Devin Hester was distressed about the firing of coach Lovie Smith, and it showed. His emotions came out when he met with the media while cleaning out his locker Monday at Halas Hall.
Hester talked about retirement, which is something he apparently has been thinking about for some time.
''I'm going to go home and get away from football right now,'' Hester said. ''I don't even know if I want to play again, man. It's [been] on my mind now for two years now.''
Hester, 30, said he planned to discuss his future with his family and didn't plan on paying much attention to general manager Phil Emery's search for Smith's replacement.
Asked if football was still fun for him, Hester said: ''It's not. . . . A lot of stress has been on my mind lately.''
Hester said the most frustrating thing has been ''not being able to showcase my talents the way I wanted [them] to be showcased'' this season.
Hester, who has 19 career return touchdowns, struggled with his kickoff and punt returns this season, putting pressure on himself, making mistakes and hurting the Bears' field position. Still, teams often kicked away from him.
Hester had 23 catches for 242 yards and a touchdown this season, but he never became the receiver Smith and the Bears hoped. He played only four offensive snaps in the last two games.
''[Smith] was the coach who took a chance on me,'' Hester said. ''I'm hoping I did him right. . . . We had some great moments.''
Hester, who is signed through 2013, didn't rule out playing elsewhere but did refer to himself as ''a Bear for life.'' He said he would play for special-teams coordinator Dave Toub again.
Hester said he wasn't hurt physically ''but mentally.''
''I mean, the media, the false fans, you all got what you all wanted,'' Hester said. ''The majority of you all wanted [Smith] out. As players, we wanted him in. I guess the fans — the false fans — outruled us.''
Banged-up Brian
Linebacker Brian Urlacher didn't meet with the media at Halas Hall, but he said on WMVP-AM (1000) that he thinks he still can contribute when healthy. Urlacher missed the last four games with a hamstring injury after having knee surgery in the preseason.
''It was one of my most frustrating seasons,'' said Urlacher, who will be a free agent. ''I didn't get healthy until training camp. I aggravated [the knee] in training camp. But once I got into playing shape and I was healthy, I think I played decent. Some games I could have played better, but until the hamstring I was getting better.''
Hands-off Jay
Quarterback Jay Cutler said he doesn't plan to be part of the hiring process for Smith's replacement.
''I don't think they're going to ask me,'' he said. ''[I have a] lot of confidence in Phil and everyone else involved. They're going to do the right thing and hire the right people.''
In the fold
The Bears signed six players — guard Derek Dennis, cornerback Isaiah Frey, tight end Gabe Miller, receiver Dale Moss, guard Chris Riley and defensive end Aston Whiteside — to reserve/future contracts.

Refrigerator Parts & Accessories
Parts and Accessories to Keep Your Refrigerator Running
There is a wide variety of refrigerator parts and accessories available on the market today to help keep a refrigerator running smoothly and efficiently. Whether it is replacement parts to fix your appliance that you need or you just want to expand the function or looks of the refrigerator, Sears offers a range of products from brands you can trust, such as Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE and Whirlpool.
Refrigerators that are equipped with automatic ice makers will need a water filter system to reduce unpleasant chlorine tastes and odors. These filters will also remove toxaphene, lead, cysts, asbestos, mercury, turbidity, herbicides, pesticides, lindane, atrazine and other particulates. While a filter will improve the taste, clarity and odor of the water, it will not reduce the amount of fluoride that is in city tap water.
The best thing about a water filter system is that it does not take up valuable space inside the refrigerator because it is installed in the base grille on the front of the appliance. It also helps conserve energy, making your Energy Star appliance even more environmentally friendly. When purchasing a water filter, you will want to look for a product that has been tested and certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF), the leading global provider of public health and safety risk management solutions.
Replacement water filters are also available. Most filters will need to be replaced every six to twelve months depending on the type of filter, how many gallons it is rated for and how often it is used.
In order for an ice maker to work, a waterline hose will need to be connected from the appliance to the cold water plumbing system, usually under the kitchen sink. Look for a product that is lead free and made from durable material, such as braided PVC or copper tubing. Plastic hoses, particularly clear vinyl, will reduce water quality and are prone to puncture damage that will result in breakage and leakage. The connection will also require a T-valve that attaches to the sink line and the ice maker supply line, as well as a sleeve and compression nut to ensure the line is tightly connected. Full waterline installation kits can be purchased for quick and easy connections.
To keep the refrigerator running efficiently, you will need an effective cleaner to get rid of food spills, dirt and rust. These heavy-duty cleaning products contain mild abrasives that are safe to use on stainless steel, copper, porcelain, tile and fiberglass.
Optional, add-on trim kits are also available to improve the visual appeal of a refrigerator. For a customized look, panels, grilles and collars can be replaced in a choice of colors and materials. Kits are also available to provide a built-in look without the high cost typically associated with custom work.

October 6, 2011 — Delaney Hall Detention Facility, Newark, New Jersey
Finally, I tried to turn my thoughts away from the others because I saw quite clearly today that none of that mattered right now. It was hard to swallow that I was thought of by the guards as just like the others. That I'd been brought up to believe I was gifted, more special than the rest was laughable in this environment and that scared me. Who I was, how I viewed myself, all of it, knocked on its ass. This feeling of being just like the others felt bitter, unwelcome. I saw it in the guard's eyes, or should I say their lack of eye contact. To those in charge at Delaney, I was just a guy who was now a detainee. Delaney, the great equalizer.
So I turn to what is easier to understand: the facts. Eni and I are locked up. A first in my life and his. It felt surreal, a dash of curiosity added to the cocktail of emotions. I'd been stripped of everything but my eyeglasses, including basic human interaction, like eye contact and civil conversation. The system had moved me into a different category of human being – just a notch above cattle. This realization obviously didn't sit well.
I feel off-center as I lay there, the nagging question of who I am, how I am seen, just won't go away. I am used to respect, for who I am and what I've accomplished … so was this a bruised ego I am acknowledging? Pondering that for a bit, I know this is only part of it. I am human after all, and unless you're Christ or Ghandi you probably can't ever remove ego. But I mustn't look at that right now. It's the other thing, the big question.
How was I going to fix this?
After all, that's the expectation for a husband, father, man of the house. I'd gotten us into this, and I was the one who needed to get us out. How would I have my voice heard?

Avoiding the Golf Traps
It's every golfer's worst-case scenario – You're golfing great, you've got a perfect swing, the perfect stance, and you were able to get rid of that slice that's been on your back. NO matter how well everything goes, even the best golfer can find himself (or herself) occasionally stuck in a sand trap, stuck in the grass or trapped behind a giant tree on the golf course. Unfortunately, the traps are what make the game interesting. Without them,… Continue reading

Perfect Summer Dress
Received mine in the mail yesterday and it is lovely! I bought it to wear for my rehearsal dinner in PR because I saw it and it seemed tropical and light. The material is so soft and comfortable. I plan on dressing it up with gold heels & jewelry or either with wedges or flats. It's pretty versatile. Hi-Lo dresses can be very short in the front, but this one is the perfect length.
I bought a medium for my 5'4" frame.

Hi and welcome.
My name is Julieanne Kost, and I'm excited today to show you all of the new features
in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.
I'm starting here in Bridge,
and I'm simply going to select this range of images.
The first one is selected.
I hold down the Shift key and I'll select to here,
and then I'll use the keyboard shortcut Command R or Control R on Windows
in order to display the Camera Raw dialog box.
The first thing that you'll probably notice is right down here in the lower right-hand corner
I have a little warning icon,
and that's telling me that this image has been touched by a previous version of Photoshop
or even a previous version of Lightroom,
and so it's using the older process version.
And in fact, if we want to see which process version it's using,
we can click here on the Camera Calibration tab
and you can see that it's using the 2010.
I want to update this to the 2012 so that we can use all of the new sliders.
But before I change it here, what I want to do is I want to go to the Basic panel
so that you can see what actually happens to the sliders.
While I'm in this older process version, you'll see the familiar set of sliders
that are associated with the older versions of Photoshop.
But when I click on the exclamation mark right here to update it,
you can see that we have all of our new sliders.
So probably the first thing that you'll notice is that they're all set right in the center,
which I think makes this so much easier to use.
No matter which slider I choose to change,
if I move it to the right, it's going to either lighten it or add more of that,
and if I move it to the left, it will darken it or decrease it.
You'll also notice that some of the sliders have changed.
For example, you won't see the Recovery slider, and you won't see the Fill Light slider
because we've actually enhanced the math behind those,
because what was happening is sometimes if people moved the Fill Light slider up too much
and they moved the Recovery slider down too much,
you got kind of this flat area in the middle of your image, and we don't want to do that.
So let's take a look at what each one of these does.
The Exposure is really going to change the middle values of your image.
I'm going to leave that alone for right now.
The Contrast slider, that's going to add contrast to your image,
kind of like an S curve in the Curves dialog box or over here in the Curve panel.
What that does is it makes kind of the darker areas of your image darker
and the lighter areas of your image lighter.
What I want to focus on to start with here are the Blacks and Whites,
because those are going to affect the very far ends of my histogram.
So for example, the Whites. If I move it to the right, you'll notice that my image gets brighter.
If I move it to the left, they're going to get darker.
Same with the Blacks. If I move it to the left, we're going to be adding more black.
It's going to get darker.
If I move to the right, we're going to lighten those black areas.
But I want to use these to set the black and white point,
but I'd really like a visual clue as to when I start clipping my pixels
to either pure black or pure white,
so I'm going to use 2 keyboard shortcuts.
I'm going to tap the O key and I'm going to tap the U key.
And what that just did was it toggled on my black clipping and my white clipping.
You can remember those 2 keyboard shortcuts.
The O is for overexpose, and the U is underexpose.
Now watch what happens when I move my whites too far to the right.
You can see that all that red area in my image,
those are the values that are going to be clipped.
So obviously, I've moved it too far.
I just want to back off until I don't see any more red.
Now, moving the Blacks slider you can see if I move it to the left too far,
everywhere that you see overlaid with that blue color is going to go to pure black.
So I definitely want to back off here.
Of course, keep in mind with the Blacks slider there might be areas in your image
that you actually want to print as pure black, all right?
So now that I've got my white point and my black point defined
using the Whites and Blacks sliders, I'll move up to the Highlights and Shadows.
And you can see now that if I wanted to darken down the very brighter areas of my image--
basically we're talking about this tone or this tonal range here in my histogram--
then I would move my Highlights slider to the left, and you can see that darken down.
If I wanted to brighten up that area, I simply move it to the right.
So let's bring that down a bit because I would like to see a little bit more detail
here around this window.
And then my Shadows slider, it's going to be focused really down here
on this part of the histogram.
And again, if I move it to the left, it's going to get darker.
That's not what I want, so I'll move it to the right,
and now it's acting very similar to what the Fill Light did,
but it's a much better algorithm, meaning the math behind it is much better,
and we're actually going to be able to pull out values and tones and details
in those shadow areas without creating that kind of flat area
that you might have gotten in previous versions.
I think that's a little too much, so let's just back that off a little.
We might want to add a little bit of clarity to this image as well.
That's going to add a little bit of midtone contrast to our image,
and it's just going to make the image look a little bit sharper.
Again, in previous versions, in that 2010 process version,
one of the problems was if you went too high on Clarity
you would get a sort of halo around some of the edges.
And you'll notice that now even if I bring this up to 100%,
we won't get those halos.
But I am going to back off because that's just a little bit too much.
All right. So those are all of the new features right here in the Basic panel.
Let's go ahead and move to this next image
because I want to point out a few other things that we've done.
Again, I could go through here and we could move up the Shadows
if I thought maybe I needed to see a little bit more detail in here,
and I could actually move up the Highlights in this case
and make the entire image a little brighter and maybe add a little bit of clarity
to give it a little bit more contrast there in those midtones.
But what I'd really like to do is I'd like to zoom in to this top area here.
And in fact, I'm going to zoom in as close as I can get,
which I think is about 400% there,
and then I'm going to move over to our Lens Correction panel.
You'll notice that I have enabled the Lens Profile Correction,
but there's a difference between this version and the previous version.
In the previous version, when you enabled the Lens Profile Correction,
that enabled 3 things.
It corrected distortion, it removed vignetting, and it also removed chromatic aberration.
The chromatic aberration was actually a part of the profile.
But we've learned since then that we can actually do this better on the fly.
I'm hoping you can see it.
What chromatic aberration is is it's kind of a misalignment of pixels,
and it happens a lot when you're shooting with a wider angle lens,
and it will happen along the edges of your image.
You can see here that we've kind of got this little bit of magenta
and then cyan misalignment.
So when I turn on the Remove Chromatic Aberration,
that actually goes away.
So I'll toggle that off and on again.
I really hope that when we compress this you'll still be able to see that difference.
If not, just go ahead and give it a try in one of your own images.
All right. Let's go ahead and back out again.
I'm just going to use the keyboard shortcut Command 0 to fit in screen here
because I do want to show you one other thing,
and that happens to be right here underneath our Tone Curve panel.
We have the parametric curve as we did before,
and we also have the point curve,
but the new feature in the point curve is the ability to actually go in on a per channel basis
and make color corrections.
So for example, if I wanted to add a little bit of yellow, a little bit of warmth to this image,
I would go down here to the Blue channel.
And then because I want to make it more yellow,
I would actually remove blue by dragging down on the curve.
And you can see the image is getting warmer.
You might be thinking, "Well, why don't I do that with Temperature and Tint?"
You can absolutely use the Temperature and Tint sliders,
but there's a lot more control when you're working with channels
because, for example, what if I only wanted to add the warmth
in the highlight areas but not in the shadow areas?
Then I would drag the point down in the highlights,
but I can set another point on my curve in the shadows
so that nothing is being affected in the shadow areas
and the color shift is only happening here in my more highlight areas.
So not only can I use this for color correction,
but I can also get some great just kind of more creative effects.
In fact, let's do this.
Let's go here to HSL, and I'm simply going to drag down all of the sliders here.
I'm not actually converting my image to grayscale
because I do want to add in some color.
So instead, by dragging out all of the saturation
in all of the different tonal ranges
and then going back here to Tone Curve,
first of all, you can just see right now that this image doesn't look black and white,
and that's because of this curve.
See, if I click and drag these points off the curve,
you can see that it appears to be black and white.
But again, because I didn't actually convert it to black and white, I can add back in color.
So if I wanted to get a cool kind of maybe cross process look,
I can go ahead and, let's say, maybe add a little bit of blue in my shadows,
and we'll just pin down the highlights there.
And then I can go to any of the other channels, so I could go here to Red,
and maybe I want to add a little bit of red in my highlights.
Or maybe I want to subtract a little bit of red,
but that's going to make it more kind of that cyan color,
which is a little too similar to the blue.
But again, if I don't like that adjustment, we can cross over with any color.
So I can go here with green.
We know the opposite of green is magenta,
so I could get a little bit of magenta in my highlights.
But again, I could take that out of the lower area there.
So not only can we use the Tone Curve in order to do color correction,
we can also create some really nice kind of more creative effects.
All right, excellent. I'm going to scoot down here to another image that we're going to look at.
Here we've got a really, really high contrast situation
where we've got a really dark hallway
and then we've got the sun obviously hitting this back wall.
So let's see what we can do with the Basic panel.
First of all, I want to gain back some of this detail here.
That's not my Whites, right?
That's going to be my Highlights area, and I'm just going to drag that to the left
in order to darken that down.
I'm not going to go too far even though all of these adjustments are nondestructive
because I'm also going to lighten this area.
And if I go too far with bringing the highlights down
and then I lighten the foreground, it's just going to get kind of mushy.
There won't be enough contrast in the overall image.
The other problem that this image is suffering from
is that there is different colored lighting in it.
So let's switch at this point over to our Selective Adjustments.
We have 2 of those: the Adjustment Brush and the Graduated Filter.
I'm going to start with the Adjustment Brush,
and you'll notice that when I selected that, this set of controls
or sliders that I have to make my adjustments is identical almost to the Basic panel.
So we've added, for example, now I can paint in with Temperature and Tint.
I can also paint in with Noise Reduction, which we'll show in a minute.
For now let's go ahead and just warm this up.
I'm going to increase the temperature.
You can go as far as you want here
because all of this is nondestructive.
I want to make sure that I can see this change,
so I'm going to bring the Temperature really far to the right.
Let's scroll down a little bit.
I just want to make sure that my Auto Mask is off. All right.
And then I'm just going to paint here.
That was a pretty bold stroke and it made a big change,
so let me undo that for a minute.
I'm going to bring my Flow down just a little bit more,
and this way it can take multiple strokes to paint it in
because there wasn't as much of a color cast at the top as there was at the bottom,
so now I can do a double paint or a double paint stroke down there to change that.
But it really did warm it up a little bit too much.
Not a problem since they're all nondestructive.
And because this pin is selected, all I need to do now is bring down the Temperature
until I get it at the exact point where I like it.
All right. Let's add a new adjustment.
Here what I want to do is I actually want to bring up my Shadows,
and at the same time I'm going to bring up the Noise Reduction.
So what that will do is as I lighten an area that might have been really noisy,
it's going to also reduce the noise in those shadow areas
that I'm basically bringing up to midtones.
It's also added that weird color cast, so let's just reset that.
I'm sure you guys all know that if you just double click on the little slider
it will reset any of these sliders here.
So now we don't have that yellow cast.
Let's also zoom in. I really want to zoom in.
Otherwise we're never going to be able to see this once it's been compressed.
Let's actually go up to, like, maybe 300%.
I know that's a little bit of a splotchy area there,
but look what happens if I take off the Noise Reduction.
See how noisy it is there, because remember, those were really dark values
in my image before I set down this pin and made this adjustment to lighten it.
As I lightened those values, we saw more and more of that noise.
So all I need to do is move over my Noise Reduction,
and we can actually remove that noise
at the same time that we are lightening those shadow areas.
All right. There's one more thing that I do want to mention for those of you who use presets.
We'll just go right over here, I'll tap the Z key--
that just kind of sets that tool back and it gives me the Zoom tool--
and then I'm going to click right here for my presets.
I don't necessarily want to save a preset right now,
but what I do want to do is click on the little New Preset icon
just to show you right down here that you can save the process version
as part of your preset.
So for example, moving forward, if you want to save what we've done here
with the blacks and the whites and the shadows and the highlights,
or if you wanted to do something with the white balance,
my point is just that you can save that with the process version
so that you can use different process versions and different presets together.
That was a quick overview of all of the new features in Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.

I liked the idea of a new game system to begin with, and I still do.
What about you?

Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup is an all natural, vegan and gluten free soup that blends savory lentils with brown rice and vegetables in a perfectly seasoned broth. According to the description on the Right Foods website, "it is a delicious, hearty soup that provides complete protein essential amino acids."
The first thing I did was check out the nutrition facts,which turned out to be very impressive. Each 1 cup serving of Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup provides 150 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 480 mg sodium (20% of the daily value), 10 grams of fiber (40% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein. Did you catch that - 40% of your daily value for fiber and 9 grams of protein - if you had eaten Fiber One Honey Squares Cereal (Review) for breakfast, you would already have 80% of your daily fiber requirement before dinner!
Of course, another important factor is the taste, and while this lentil soup was hearty, it was also a little bland. There's a LOT of lentils, so you definitely get your money's worth there, but it's not as flavorful as Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup (Review) - adding a little hot sauce seemed to perk it up a bit though.
The ingredients in Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup are filtered water, lentils, vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, garlic), organic brown rice, organic wine, natural flavor (non animal source), yeast extract potato starch, spices sea salt.
I received samples for review, but it's available on the Right Foods website for purchase at $17.94 for a case of 6 (18 ounce (510 gram) cartons). While I loved the nutrition of Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup, the flavor was lacking - although I preferred it to Amy's Organic Lentil Soup (Review). I look forward to trying more Dr. McDougall's All Natural Soups - and finding others that are as good as the Organic Tortilla Style Soup.

The Wolf Among Us - The Wolf Among Us - Episode 1: Faith
I've been told he's not a "werewolf" and he's just a wolf in human form. Does he require a glamor? He seems to only change when angered and the only thing that can change him back is whiskey and his "Huff & Puff" cigarettes.
So, what exactly is he then?

Yesterday's Giants game made me smile huge. First, the mis-communicated hit and run made me laugh. My brother has been teaching me his All Star team's signs and they are really, truly complicated. I know a missed sign should outrage me, but then it turned out so well, so can I really complain? Not to mention I had been eating whipped cream that evening and was in a pretty good mood, so I was letting things slide. And then there are few things I love more than a pitcher getting an RBI hit.
On the mound, Cain wasn't his best. The offense also wasn't, ahem, their best (what even is their best?). Torres felt disrespected and outraged. The world hated Aaron Rowand with a passion usually reserved for people who steal candy or balloons from children or something.
(Sorry had to break out the Despicable Balloon scene again.)
To be clear, Rowand did none of the above. The Padres are, creepily, not in last place anymore and a 2010-way-too-close-for-comfort 8 games out of first place. Okay, maybe not way too close for comfort. Just a little bit. I admit it, I am Padre-Paranoid. A win would be a nice thing right about, well, now.
But I actually want to talk about the Pirates. I know, everyone wants to talk about the Pirates. Which is why I want to take you back to July 31st, 2010 when I posted this and changed my background to the yellow and black:
Pittsburgh Diamond Girl
I am now officially a Pirates fan. Showing solidarity.
(Joe Martinez was traded to the Bucs.)
Don't worry, San Fran'ers. I'll be a Giantette again soon.
See? I was a Pirates fan way back when they were not in second place and actually making a mid-season run. I'm very happy for them that they're doing well and so is Joey, for that matter. He's 6-3 with a 4.09 for the Indians AAA affiliate, the Columbus Clippers.
Don't their colors suit him, too? I think we need some Ryan Vogelsong magic to bring him back to the Pirates (his former team, if only for a few months) and take them to the World Series. If you're out there, Neal Huntington…?
Diamond Girl
p.s. Let's all channel positive energy to Ryan Braun so he'll get well soon and play in the All Star Game, okay?
