Concert at CSUN to benefit Haiti
A charity concert will be held Feb. 26 on campus to help raise funds for Haiti.
"Who better to understand the impact than us?" said Justin Weiss, teaching associate and Unified We Serve coordinator, said in yesterdays Associated Student's meeting.
The money will go to Hope for Haiti, a relief organization backed by George Clooney, and the funds will be distributed among several different nonprofit organizations, Weiss said. The concert will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the suggested entry donation is $10, however, any amount will be accepted, Weiss said.
"It [Haiti relief] has nothing but my full support," said Abel Pacheco, A.S. president during the meeting. "We're going to be moving forward and doing everything we can to help out."
Teach-in and re-accreditation
Besides the Haiti relief, Associated Students spoke about becoming involved in the Feb. 3 Teach-in being held to raise awareness on upset faculty and students are on the budget cuts, said Gisselle Jaen,
At the same time, officials from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), who are in charge of CSUN's re-accreditation, will be on campus holding their meetings, private and public, in the Education building, said Tom Piernik, university advisor.
Piernik said students should attend the open meeting to voice their opinion.
"We want to make sure our quality shines through," Piernik said.
Problems holding back students from graduating
Veda Ward, faculty advisor of the A.S. committee, gave details about the "Super Senior Project," that looks into why CSUN students are not graduating as quickly as they should.
Some of the issues keeping students in school longer are the lack of a general studies option and the fact that there is no limit on the number of years people can go to school, Ward said.
Ward said some people are being held back by their minor because they can't get into the classes needed to complete it and some people aren't emotionally or financially ready to graduate.
"The goal is to help students find a major that will allow them to leave with a smile," Ward said.
Financial aid added a 150-unit cap recently to help student's graduate sooner, said Conor Lansdale, A.S. vice president. The students being targeted are those who have 90 plus units, but don't seem to be making any progress toward a degree, he said.
Senator Jessica Abarca, head of the business and economics department, said she is getting more spots available for business students, who have tried to crash classes this semester and has been successful in allowing them to add classes and graduate sooner.
Ward reminded the committee the end of the add/drop period is fast approaching.
"Some people are still trying to get into classes," she said. "Don't forget to drop something you may have put it for filler. By dropping a filler class you don't want, it could help someone else who needs it."
Elections Code Amendment
Elections will be held this year but the date is being decided upon, Pacheco said. The Elections Code requires that the elections are held six to eight weeks prior to the end of the semester and need to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, he said.
Since Cesar Chavez Day falls on week six and Spring break on week seven, the senate voted to amend the Elections Code to strike out the Tuesday/Wednesday mandate allowing a two-day consecutive election period.

Helena Costa Quits Clermont Foot… Already?
In a sudden and surprising twist, Helena Costa has decided to resign from her post as head coach of French soccer club Clermont foot just a month after accepting the job.
Costa was set to become the first female coach of a professional men's team in the top two tiers of any European League when she was was appointed to the job last month. No explanation has been given for Costa's sudden change of heart.
"I deeply regret this situation. I thank all those who have supported me and I am most grateful," said Clermont president Claude Michy. "The operation of the club will continue with other stakeholders to prepare for the new season."

Culture Warrior: Wall Street's Catharsis Index
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 28, 2010 | Comments (1)I was living in New York in September 2008, and took some time a couple of days after the stock market crash to visit way downtown Manhattan and see what was going on. The quietude was shocking, as the alarms being sounded on cable news networks made it sound like I shouldn't be surprised to see brokers peddling on the street, people running around on fire for no apparent reason, or CEOs segway-ing off of cliffs. As I rarely visited the Financial District, I had no idea whether or not this was normal. Maybe the crash had invoked a necessary meditation or speechlessness, a rare time of reflection for capitalists-run-amok. But the truth was that such panic wouldn't be visible on the street amongst the common folk (houses around the country owned by low and middle-income families told that story), rather the chaos was happening inside the buildings themselves. Oliver Stone's latest entry into his "W" trilogy dealing with major 21st century American events (alongside World Trade Center and W.), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, is an attempt to inquire on the conversations that may have gone on in those buildings.
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, the guys get way too into Sarah Jessica Parker and Rob Hunter manages to offend every single listener ever.

This Week in Movie Posters: Cash, Money and Mondo
Features By Neil Miller on February 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThis week in the world of movie posters, we explore the ever-growing phenomenon of the Mondo Tees exclusive print, something that our long-time readers and fellow Austinites know something about. Mondo Tees is the beautiful sore that grows out the side of an Alamo Drafthouse, selling t-shirts, posters and geek paraphernalia to the masses as they stumble out of the Drafthouse, drunk with movie love — and Guinness milkshakes.

The chance of tropical storm Leslie hitting Newfoundland on Tuesday is quite high, the Canadian Hurricane Centre (CHC) said Sunday.
"We have more confidence now in the direction Leslie will take but still uncertain on the arrival time," the agency said on its site. "The storm's effects will be far-reaching.
Wind speeds are expected to reach 100 km/h and "there is a fairly high likelihood of very heavy rainfall from the merged front/hurricane over Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland," the CHC says.
The Centre says that "much-smaller hurricane Michael well to the east-northeast of Leslie is not expected to cause much of an issue" but admits that its experience with hurricanes in close proximity to tropical storms "is minimal so we will certainly monitor it."
People should be ready to be on their own for a couple of days if Leslie hits hard, said Dan Bedell, a spokesman for the Red Cross in Atlantic Canada
"In the initial hours after a severe storm, emergency officials need time to assess the damage and set priorities and determine who needs help the most and focus on that," he said. "That's why we caution everyone they need to be able to look after themselves for a few days."
When Hurricane Igor hit Newfoundland in 2010, many people were trapped in their homes, or even in their isolated communities, because of flash flooding and other obstructions on the roads.
In those cases, it's important to have either a hardwired land-line telephone, or a car-battery charger for your cellphone, so you don't lose all contact with the outside world, Bedell said.

Are you encouraging up-and-coming female leaders in your church? Are you raising them to positions of leadership?
The debate about women in leadership roles in ministry rages on, but who can deny that women bring some things to the table much better than their counterparts?
When the Holy Spirit moved mightily at a recent academic conference, it was a moment no one wanted to see end.
I've got to admit—Mother's Day is one of the most fear eliciting, stress inducing weekends of the year for me. It's not so much about my ineptness in selecting a gift or honoring the mother of my house—Debbie—although, I've messed that up more than once.
No, the trepidation comes from the annual exercise of trying to prepare and deliver a message that navigates the veritable minefield of emotions that women are feeling on that day. You've got women who are: moms; want to be moms but haven't been able to yet; mothers who've lost a child; women who've lost a mother recently; moms with wayward children; women who have lost their husbands; women who would LIKE to lose their husband; women who would like to find a husband; career moms; stay at home moms, etc. The list goes on.
Do you know of a colleague whose wife displays these characteristics? Does yours?

Twisted Scriptures, Twisted Doctrine
When we look for sound doctrine, we must look to the full counsel of God, the full Word of God interpreted through Scriptures that transcend circumstance, culture, and generations. Here are just a few examples of what many have been taught, as well as what the Lord actually says about His daughters.
Ephesians 5:21-22
"And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord."

Single File
1:45-2:15 p.m. Main Stage
Sloan Anderson and Chris Depew, who had been playing music together since middle school, formed Single File sometime during their high-school years, as they were growing out of an early swing phase. Single File is what happens when a bratty, melodic pop-punk band gets serious — writing songs you'd actually want to listen to past your teenage years without losing the heightened emotional colorings that make those years so significant. In 2006, Single File's star began to rise with the popularity of its song "Zombies Ate My Neighbors," which received extensive spins on KTCL. Although the band eventually landed a major record deal, it wasn't a question of waiting to be discovered. These guys put out their early releases themselves and garnered a slot on the Warped Tour on their own. Not content with being merely a local band, Single File has shown that it's possible to break out of Denver on your own terms.
Varlet featuring Lilly Scott
1:00-1:30 p.m. Main Stage
Lilly Scott was born in Houston, Texas, but she has lived in Colorado since the age of four. This year, Scott was a contestant on the ninth season of American Idol, making it to the semi-final rounds before being eliminated. For the show, Scott toned down her experimental leanings, something she doesn't need to do with her band. Varlet, which formed in 2005 when Scott was just sixteen, straddles the divide between the freak folk of artists like Devendra Banhart and the more haunted end of blues singers like Billie Holliday. Joined by, among others, guitar wizard Cole Rudy of Wetlands and Vaughn McPherson (formerly of Oblio's Arrow), Scott has been writing songs that sound like they could have come out fifty years ago or just yesterday, informed by the ghosts of musical legends. With a new EP, cheekily titled I Win!, Scott probably will.
Oh My Stars
12:15-12:45 Main Stage
Like a punky Better Than Ezra without all the angst, Oh My Stars came together with a mutual interest in making hook-oriented modern rock. Though technically still an unsigned band, Oh My Stars has made quite a name for itself by breaking singles in cities outside its home town of Los Angeles — including this one. An upbeat anthem of anger at romantic betrayal, "Bloody November" spent six weeks at the top of KTCL's chart at the beginning of 2010.
10:30 p.m.-1:00 a.m. City Hall
Anyone with more than a passing familiarity with the history of rock and roll and R&B knows the importance of the unlikely locale of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. It was only a matter of time before a band would emerge from that milieu, rather than a noteworthy visitor turning out a landmark album from its famed studio. BoomBox started in that town in 2004, setting out to not taint its creative output by trying to play a specific style of rock. Consisting of Zion Godchaux on vocals and guitar and Russ Randolph on electronic instruments and turntables, BoomBox manages to bring together elements of improvisational rock composition, hip-hop and jazz for a sound that would be welcome at a hippie club or a more adventurous dance club.

hey there guys!
"I used to think that pass4sure is a scam organization. How can a company be so sure about their product's quality and can claim 100% guarantee?

Now I am also using pass4sure JNCIP-ENT JN0-643 study guide. ThanksJulia Steve"

Series 9 Collectable minifigures available in the USofA
Posted by bluemoose,Brickset forum members gofigure19 and yys4u report they have spotted, and purchased, Series 9 collectable minifigures from LEGO bricks-and-mortar stores in Milwaukee and San Diego respectively. Apparently, they were new on the shelf yesterday (Monday 17th Dec). Thanks guys for letting us know.
If you've spotted them in your local LEGO Brand Store, or elsewhere, let us know in the comments section or on the forums. Happy hunting!

They are available at the Crabtree Valley Mall Lego Store in Raleigh, NC. Picked up a few last night
Grabbed my first few Series 9 minifigs at the Chandler Fashion Mall Lego Store in AZ.
Holy crap, Milwaukee?!
My relatives are there!
Already? I just finished series 8. and what the heck is Bricks and mortar store?
^Brick and mortar = a physical Lego store
I can confirm that they're at the Lego store in Tysons Corner (McLean VA) as one of my co-workers came in to work this morning with a Marilyn Monroe fig.
They are at the Arrowhead store in AZ.
Already? I finished up series 8 back in September. They come out every 4 months.
Found at palisade mall. New York last night.
Gotta cath 'em all!
Any Fred Meyer spottings yet? They usually seem to be the first non-Lego brand store to carry the new wave of CMFs in the USA.
I saw them today at the lego store in Stonebriar mall, Frisco, TX
I live an hour from San Diego, maybe I should go there to get some.
Looks like I'll have to make my annual religious pilgrimage to the LEGO store in Bloomington this Christmas to pick some up. Man, these series come out fast. I barley had time to get a few from series 8 before this next wave comes out.
You're in Minnesota? Please let me know if they have them!
I'm hoping they will. I actually live in Iowa and I go to Minnesota to be with my family every Christmas. That's the only time of year when I'm nearby a Lego store so I always try to stock up when I'm there.
I saw them at the Wal-Mart in Brigham City, Utah.
Lego store in fashion valley San Diego has them. Got 3 packets today. I managed to get the alien trooper and robot, and my girlfriend got the cyclops.
Picked up 3 at the Lego store in Tysons (which I know has been previously mentioned). Chicken Suit guy, Judge, and Cyclops. Three of the four I was interested in...gave up on the mermaid, may go back when the staff has practiced finding things so I can ask them.
I just took a peek inside the NYC lego store. They are available there.
@nathan.hartzell you mean Rockefeller? I'm gonna walk over to Queens in a min.
Arundel Mills has them. I couldn't find them at first, but a friendly staffer pointed me towards the play area, where they had boxes of them sitting around a large table, so customers could dig through packs at their leisure.
They are available in the Overland Park, Kansas store. I picked up all but the Roller Durby Girl and the Forest Maiden. I'll be going back tomorrow to pick those two up.
I found them today at the LEGO store in San Jose, CA. I also saw the new Star Wars sets there (Battle of Hoth, A-Wing, AT-RT, and one of the battle packs).
They are located in Colorado at the Mills Mall. I picked up 16 which is the current limit.
They have them at the store at Eastview mall
Any one found any in Georgia?
As usual I'm sure west Central MN will get them on the official release date or after. At least that gives me time to finish up Series 8 :P
Found them at the Beachwood Mall in Cleveland OH. They came in today :0)
I just picked some up at the North Point Mall store in Alpharetta, GA. Can't say what I got because they are Christmas presents for my boys.
Tonnes found in my local town, crawley, in england
They have landed in Brighton! Yay - got the lot as it was a just opened box! PLus if you get some now you get a 'spend £20 get £5 off voucher' to be used 26th Dec onwards. Happy Days. : )
The Entertainer in Crawley?
They're at the LEGO store in Sunrise, Florida. :)
Has anyone purchased/received a box yet? I am curious to see if the distribution is the same as White Fang's.

Hunter Injured Tuesday While Hunting Raccoons in Tama County
Posted: 02/02/2012
BELLE PLAINE – A Belle Plaine man sustained a gunshot wound to the leg while hunting raccoons Tuesday afternoon northwest of Belle Plaine in Tama County.
Christopher M. Pippert, 41, was hunting for raccoons in an abandoned farm house with two other men when a shot from a .22 caliber pistol from one of the other hunters stuck him in the left ankle at approximately 2 p.m. on Tuesday. It was the final day of the hunting season for raccoons in Iowa.
Pippert was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids where he was being treated for a non-life threatening injury.

Bad Boy News
Bad Boy Mowers is headed to the Four State Farm Show!
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, July 16, 2013
S & H Farm Supply and Bad Boy Mowers will be at the 39th Annual Four State Farm Show, Pittsburg Kansas Friday July 19th - Sunday July 21st. Held each July, the Four State Farm Show brings thousands of farmers and ranchers to a 300-acre farm near Pittsburg, Kan., for three days of agricultural product displays and equipment demonstrations. With approximately 700 exhibits, the event features all of the major lines of farm machinery and equipment as well as innovative products from agribusiness firms across the country.
The 25-acre Farm Show site will over-flow with a vast array of farm equipment, seed, feed, agri-chemicals, livestock, farm buildings, grain bins, livestock handling equipment, tires, tools, trailers and much more. The tremendous range of agriculturally-related goods and services annually provides farmers and stockmen with a unique opportunity to shop and compare in one location.

Forage producers will have an opportunity to compare big round balers, mowers, rakes and other bale handling equipment operating under field conditions in the Show's Hay Demonstrations each afternoon. For 2012 the Four State Farm Show will be giving away $500 each day at the end of the Hay Demo. This money can be applied to the equipment purchase from any company in the Hay Demo, or applied to an account for parts or service. The winner must be present at each days drawing. There will also be a Riding Lawn Mower Test Driving Range at the Four State Farm Show giving area farm and ranch families the opportunity to check out several makes and models.
Dates for the 2012 Four State Farm Show are July 20, 21 & 22 from 8 A.M to 4 P.M on Friday and Saturday. The Sunday show hours are 8 A.M. to 3 P.M. The Farm Show grounds are located South of Pittsburg, Kansas to Hwy 400, 69 & K-171 Junction, then ½ mile east.

Both, coaches and players are of course interested in a successful career as both would benefit, that's why you see a lot of long-time coach-player bonds in Romania. Another possibility like in Cirstea's case is the sponsorship of a (sports) company from outside, in her case Adidas. Her looks helped her and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be ranked Romanian #1, if she wouldn't possess training possibilities that other girls from her country can only dream about.
Thanks for the insight. Is tennis popular in Romania? After football, are there other sports more popular than tennis?

I wonder if it'll be possible to play as a Lesser Daemon in this. You'll be able to play as a Space Marine, after all; Daemons get Unnatural Toughness and a few other assorted benefits standard (Fear, From Beyond, Daemonic Presence, et cetera) that should roughly balance out with the Space Marine's assorted other miscellaneous advantages (Unnatural Strength, Black Carapace, immunity to Fear, et cetera). I certainly hope so, even if the rules to do so don't turn up until the equivalent of the Inquisitor's Handbook; I want to be able to play as Reasonable Daemonette or Khornette alongside Cultist-chan and Dranon.
Playing as Lesser Daemons?
Posted 04 June 2011 - 03:11 AM
Posted 04 June 2011 - 03:20 AM
Well, not quite sure you'd be able to play as a full-out daemon, but I'd think a possessed marine is very much possible, or a daemon host.
Posted 04 June 2011 - 04:30 AM
I'm not sure this is a good idea from a role-playing perspective. It's tough enough to play a xenos PC, but daemons have an utterly inhuman mindset, more alien than an alien. I don't think any of the role-players I know would be good enough to pull it off.
Possessed or a mutant would certainly be an option as those have at least some human element for you to work with.
Posted 04 June 2011 - 08:36 AM
I really hope they are getting rid of Unnatural stats or flat multiplicators in general with BC.
Had to grin at the mentioning of Reasonable Daemonette, though.
Given that people can play Orks and Kroot in Rogue Trader, I wouldn't be too surprised, and I do not think it would be massively different from playing a CSM. Few people would get it right, but such difficulties already exist for many other careers in the existing RPGs, and then there are some who wouldn't care either way as long as they are having fun, so ... why not?
Apparently you can get them as minions either way, so someone ought to play them as well. If the GM can, so do his players.
Still, I don't think they would be available right away, simply because there's a lot of Lesser Daemons, and already there's a lot of "normal" human heretics that would have to come first. With a supplement, though ...
Posted 05 June 2011 - 10:22 AM
I hope they don't become playable. IMO it would cheapen the alien-ness these horrors (well, and the others) from a realm beyond normal space should possess.

I doubt they will force people to play demons.
On the other hand, I think BC will be restricted to humans.
Posted 08 June 2011 - 03:41 PM
I rather hope that due to the requirements: Must be human of the heretek, doesn't just the same thing as requirements: must be non-astartes.
I think roleplaying a daemon of Nurgle would be pretty easy. but daemon PCs would be... bizarre in the extreme. They only stick around for a small period of time, and probably can't progress to chaos spawn or daemon prince (though technically Fulgrim's possessing lesser daemon got promoted to DP, right?)
Posted 09 June 2011 - 01:24 AM
I rather hope that due to the requirements: Must be human of the heretek, doesn't just the same thing as requirements: must be non-astartes
I'd assume that further supplements may contain some Xenos like the Enoulians. For now, "human" will probably mean "non-astartes" indeed.
Posted 09 June 2011 - 10:00 AM
As far as playing a lesser daemon of the ruinous powers in Black Crusade?
...Perhaps not
More likely what you might find is perhaps something along the lines of a possessed PC template option, somewhat similar to the Daemon Vessel elite package in the RH for Dark Heresy - where the character grows giddily and gleefully more powerful as talents/traits are acquired as he/she descends into madness and plumbs the depths of their depravity/corruption in an ascent for power/influence. Probably something like a possessee-renegade in the old RoC/WH4K Rogue Trader days. In this case perhaps the rules may not initially appear in Black Crusade, but the big book of badass equivalent to the Inquisitor's Handbook.
Posted 10 June 2011 - 09:58 PM
Initially, no...
As the teasers have taught us there will be a corruption system....that could not apply to daemons....

Just takes the rules given for lesser daemons in Mark of the Xenos, find an given average for stats for when you're rolling up stats, and go with it
I wouldn't think there would be a Corruption/Infamy system for daemons as such, but maybe something to do with Favor and the need to keep one's essence solid if leaving a Daemon World or the Warp. And heck, maybe even a system involving once Favor reaches a certain level of being able to be transformed into a greater daemon.

Those rules are quite weak for roleplay. For example, seduction powers of the Daemonette are not specified, which would be essential to a Daemonette PC.
Posted 13 June 2011 - 05:46 PM
I almost think something might be easier to cobble together than merely taking from the beastiaries. I even wonder if the system being previewed for Daemon Hunter may well end up used in this too...
Posted 14 June 2011 - 03:32 AM
One small point though.
Lesser daemons and to a certain degree greater daemons, are simple extensions of the will of one of the 4 chaos gods.
Unless you are unaligned lesser daemon. Possessed and Daemon princes are so powerful, because the human mind gives the semi-daemonic entitity more of a "free will" and human ingenuity.
Posted 14 June 2011 - 11:08 AM
deamon princes and possesed are human (or human like) that became deamons (or on the same level as greater deamons)
too a full greater demon of whatever power a deamon prince is a weaker but cunning ally. too the deamon prince the greater deamons are great lighting rods they can use too get the plan to go.
greater deamons being over all part of the manivestasion of there power and having something of a free will but not real. where the deamon prince still sorta has free will but has done so much too follow this or that "god" (i personaly do not think it totaly out of the realms for a deamon prince too change sides but it would take a lot of work

It was just a windy, chilly, lousy day outside yesterday, but this little girl sure did make it better!
If you'd like to share your 2010 first sighting pics here, please do!
Follow-Up Postings:
Congrats Tracey! Hopefully you will see plenty more in the next few days. I did not have a camera ready when I saw my first hummer on 4/29. Have not seen one since. :c( What kind of feeder is that? It looks like a saucer type feeder, but with a perky pet top. I don't recall seeing a perky pet saucer feeder. Ken |
- Posted by tracey_nj6 6 (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 17:55
Yes Ken, Perky Pet Oasis. I initially purchased at Lowes for $10, maybe 2 years ago, then they stopped selling them. I still check to this day, and nothing. I purchased additional ones on Amazon. I love them; so easy to clean, no spillage, hummers have no issue with them. I have 4. I only had the camera outside because I was attempting to get a shot of the 2 mockingbirds at my suet feeder, but I failed. Hummer came by; she didn't flinch when I walked across the deck to get it. That's always a good! |
saw my first hummer ruby throat sat 5/8 , saw her again on sunday,been cold and rainy since so not seen again, but since the columbine are blooming they will be here ! first sighting last year was 5/1 . |

Tracey I wasnt able to get a pic of my first sighting they are so timid at first but I did get one today and not a very good one overcast day. |

San Luis Obispo City Firefighters have ruled Friday afternoon's fire that destroyed the Theta Chi fraternity house on Upham St. an accident.
Investigators say there was a paintbrush that was doused in some type of petroleum-based liquid and then wrapped in a towel. Apparently, that paintbrush got too hot and combusted on the house's front porch. The fire spread to the attic of the house. Crews were able to get the fire under control in about one hour and 45 minutes.
No one was hurt in the fire, but the six residents of the home are now displaced. They tell KSBY News they'll be staying with some of their fraternity brothers until they figure out permanent living arrangements.
Fire officials estimate damage to the structure and its contents is estimated at about $100,000.

Any Sealy Posturepedic in a plush will be similar. Hotels use low end models. For home use, I'd suggest a mid priced model with a higher coil count than what's used at the low end.

Veteran safety came off bench against Colts, not likely to start vs. Cardinals. Terry McCormick
The Houston Texans waited for free agent signee Ed Reed to recover from a hip injury to join their starting lineup.
It was thought that Reed might be the final missing piece for a championship. Instead, the Texans have gone into a tailspin at 2-6 and Reed now finds himself no longer a starting safety, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Interim coach Wade Phillips, who is also the Texans defensive coordinator did not commit to Reed being a starter this week after he came off the bench last week against the Colts. Phillips indicated that Reed was more likely to be a situational player.

Before beginning the program, meet with the religious educator to learn of any special needs of participants and to coordinate this program with the goals and resources of the RE program. Learning about the faith identities of the youth's families is recommended. For some religions, family members can be a resource and could make good visitors.
An alternate activity in the closing workshop (Workshop 22) suggests coordinating a worship service. Decide early if you wish to do this so you can talk with the minister and/or worship committee about getting on the worship calendar. Many congregations set their calendar at the beginning of the liturgical year.

According to Dunaway, Time writer Timothy Roche first approached him about doing an article on the "human impact of this experience" -- how the tragedy had affected the investigators as well as teachers, students and others. So that no confidential details of the investigation would be released inadvertently, Dunaway monitored Roche's interviews with his officers.
"This guy was here probably a week or more interviewing key people," Dunaway says. "I sat in on those interviews, and the questions were perfectly consistent with the nature of the story as he represented it to us. We believed he was going to write a story that would bring closure to the community around this thing."
After most of his interviews were completed, Roche asked to see the Harris-Klebold tapes. Dunaway already had "a hundred requests" from media organizations for the tapes, excerpts of which had been read into the record at a sentencing hearing for one of the teens' gun suppliers in November; under the state open-records law, he couldn't release them to Time without turning them over to everyone else, too. But Roche had a novel pitch, Dunaway says. The reporter told him he wanted to view the tapes, not for their content, but in order to obtain crucial insights into the way the killers thought and acted, so that he could write a better story.
With Stone's blessing, Dunaway and Roche struck a deal. "I told him that if he were allowed to see them, he couldn't reference them in any way," Dunaway says. "He couldn't refer to ever having seen them, because the instant he did that, it would put them in the public domain, and they'd have to be available to everyone. He agreed explicitly to every condition."
Roche went to Kate Battan, the Columbine lead investigator, and told her that the undersheriff had given him permission to view the tapes. "I said, 'I think there may be a misunderstanding here' -- because there was no way on God's green earth I was going to show him those tapes," Battan recalls. "So I called the undersheriff and told him I was a bit confused."
Battan handed the phone to Roche. While she and two other witnesses listened, she says, Roche repeated to Dunaway the conditions he had accepted: "I listened to him say, 'That's right, I'm not going to quote from them, I only want a better understanding of what you guys were going through when you were investigating this.'"
Roche referred questions about his dealings with the sheriff's office to a Time spokeswoman, who simply reiterated an earlier statement that the magazine had violated no agreement. Dunaway acknowledges that the arrangement was an unusual one, but insists that it did exist.
"Frankly, he had our confidence," the undersheriff says. "In thirty years, I had never been burned by a journalist. Think about it. Was there any reason we would have subjected ourselves to this kind of abuse? This caused the whole office a lot of grief."
But Stone's critics say the effort to portray the sheriff and his people as innocent victims of a manipulative journalist won't wash. What shocked the Columbine parents wasn't the possibility that a national magazine might have thrown ethics out the window for the sake of a killer exclusive ("Are you going to burn a source over the largest circulation that magazine has seen in some time? Hell, yes," snaps Kate Battan), but the astonishing degree of access the magazine was granted, "in confidence" or not, to previously off-limits material -- including key details about the massacre itself.
Battan says she was present when Roche reviewed the Harris-Klebold videos. He took notes, she recalls, but he wasn't allowed to pause or rewind the tapes. Another source, however, says Roche went over the tapes several times; the extensive quotation and description of physical details in the final article certainly indicates repeated viewings. It's also clear that Roche obtained extensive information about the rampage that could only have come from the investigators themselves, including the positions in which certain victims' bodies were found and the final actions of the killers in the library. (Battan says she refused Roche's request to see crime-scene photos.) The sheriff's office even provided Time with its cover, a technically enhanced still photo of Harris and Klebold, armed to the teeth, taken from the cafeteria surveillance video. Dunaway explains that the image had already leaked out indirectly, through law-enforcement presentations; Battan says Roche promised not to use the photo on the cover.
The eagerness to cooperate with Time displayed an astonishing lack of skepticism by veteran law-enforcement officials. Basic questions were never asked: Why would a deadline- harried reporter spend hours reviewing materials (and taking notes) that he couldn't use in any way? How could watching Eric Harris recite the names of the "fucking bitches" who never returned his phone calls help the reporter understand what the police were going through? What does all this have to do with "closure" for the community, anyway?
After the article came out, Battan received a phone call from Roche. "He wouldn't say he lied to me, but he didn't deny it, either," she says. "He said, 'Kate, you know how editors are.'"

New windows save energy
Windows are important components of a building in terms of ventilation and lighting. Outdated of the atrium windows problems and leaky windows are also among the energetic weaknesses of a property. Therefore, they should be chosen for innovative and thermal engineering criteria, if remedial measures would save energy.
Advantages of new window technology
In the recent past the window constructions huge changes have been made. The safety standards have been improved by a more sophisticated intrusion protection and the energy-saving effect is magnified. Installing new windows also offers the advantage of improved sound insulation and solar protection. The low total energy transmittance of new windows also offers summer reduced sunlight and thus an improved indoor climate.
Various possibilities of new windows
New windows offer greater functionality and can be targeted to the individual needs of the residents. Box and sliding windows complement the range. The glazing is also a central part, because it has an impact on energy savings. The single glazing in the living room area plays a minor role, while the double glazing is one of the standards in composite windows. Two slices or three-pane heat insulation glazing are replacing traditional varieties because they are energy saving gently. If you want to know details information about atrium windows you could visit atrium windows review.
Features new window
Those opting for a renewal of windows should also make a parallel insulation of external walls and window frames. Otherwise there is a risk of condensation or mold in the area of the window. Thermal bridges should be avoided, and new blinds can be avoided energy weak spots. Sustainable contributes a renewal of windows and doors to save on energy costs. You could find details information about atrium windows at atrium windows reviews.

For all of her 53 years Lezama has lived in Ahuas, a village of wooden homes built on stilts, close to the fast-flowing Patuca river in the remote Mosquitia region of eastern Honduras. For 25 years, her family have run a business ferrying locals up and down the waterways that link the isolated jungle settlements.
On such a trip two months ago, she was shot from an American helicopter in a counter-narcotics raid involving US drug enforcement agents and Honduran troops. Four other local people, including two women, were killed. "We were returning from a trip downriver with the fishermen," she remembered. "We were travelling at night to avoid the heat. We heard the helicopters above us, but we couldn't see them. They could have let us dock and then searched the boat, but instead they shot us. Maybe they were thinking we were someone else." snip Latin American states condemned the coup. So я┐╜я┐╜" rather belatedly я┐╜я┐╜" did the Obama administration. But within months the US backed a new presidential election, and offered a warm welcome to the winner, Florida-educated conservative Porfirio Lobo. His administration promised sweeping reforms, but has been dogged by allegations of human rights abuses. According to the Honduran human rights group COFADEH, more than 300 civil society campaigners have been murdered since the coup. The figure includes trade unionists, campesino farmers demanding the restoration of lands acquired by Honduras's biggest landowners, gay rights activists, and more than 20 journalists.

I don't see why the considerable resources we must be spending can't be used to more effectively stop the drugs from entering the U.S. at the entry points. This sort of police activity outside our borders doesn't make sense to me. This doesn't strike me as a matter of national security. How much is this costing, in terms of blood and treasure, compared to better security at our shores and borders? |

Since the coup against Zelaya, I have heard numerous reports of human rights abuses by Honduran government; reprisals against the supporters of Zelaya, attacks against journalists, unionists. The irony of this war on drugs is that Palmerola was used by the CIA to ship drugs to the U.S. to finance the Contra war. Now it's an excuse to have a military presence in the region, and to arm governments friendly to the U.S. As far as Lobo following the policy of Calderon, Mexico just elected a president that will tone down the drug war and institute a peaceful coexistence with the cartels. |
As long as there is money to be made from drugs, better security won't happen. To me, the only solution is to legalize them, make them available at a low price (and taxed by the government). I would guess (but don't know) that 75% of all crimes committed are drug-related. But, it won't happen. Like campaign finance reform, too many in and out of government would lose a lot of money, including the private prison industry. Of course, the devestation that illegal drugs wreaks on society doesn't really matter as long as those who make money from them continue to make money. |
I would agree with Dockside... the only way to end it all and remove the power from these blood and money thirsty animals is to legalize, and in the place of the worthless "war on drugs", concentrate on prevention and rehabilitation in a civilized fashion. There are models out there to follow... that seem to be a lot more workable than our present solutions are and have been. |

I'm finding it interesting to note that the responses so far have been looking at the War on Drugs aspect, or how better to deal with the flow of drugs into the US. I must say that MY reaction on hearing this story was not linked to the drug issue. My first thoughts were on the US drug enforcement agency operating in other countries and the loss of civilian life. Again I must ask, how would Americans react if American farmers in Oklahoma were gunned down on their own soil by, say, Brazilian special agents working a drug case to find out who is transporting drugs within America? |
We would spend 3 trillion bombing the hell out of Bahia if that happened Ham. We would seize Belem and the oil fields off the coast. |

if American farmers in Oklahoma were gunned down on their own soil by, say, Brazilian special agents working a drug case to find out who is transporting drugs within America? The U.S. is operating in Honduras with the approval of that government. I doubt that the U.S. would ever allow Brazil to lead drug interceptions on its soil; Brazilians would be subservient to U.S. agents. There's a reason that U.S. DEA agents (or whoever in law enforcement/military) are shooting up the Global South and not industrialized countries; poor governments are more easily induced to accept military/law enforcement aid. Besides drugs, there's also the challenge to U.S. interests in Latin America by Mercosur, ALBA, and other initiatives which the U.S. thinks requires its presence in the region. A more likely scenario would be if U.S. citizens in Arizona were killed by Mexican police/soldiers in a "hot pursuit" of drug dealers across the border. The result - red meat for the xenophobes and nativists, and maybe some hot air out of DC before back to business as usual. |

The U.S. is operating in Honduras with the approval of that government. Ah, but there's the rub. A government already involved in huuman rights abuses led by a man viewed as an American puppet. |
It is a sad thing hg. I think what bothers me is that innocents have no value. I would rather see the biggest drug dealer, or the worst terrorist go free rather than one innocent person die. |

A government already involved in huuman rights abuses led by a man viewed as an American puppet. Now you understand U.S. foreign policy in Latin America! After the coup and a weak protest from President Obama's State Department, it was obvious that this is one area where little change is allowed to happen. U.S. regional interests, aka military bases and/or markets, take precedent over all else. Democratic and Republican Administrations come and go, but the idea of empire endures. |
In case you hadn't realised a democratically elected government is not the favourite vehicle for peddling US interests, whenever such a beast rears its ugly head the US will support the opposition. Need examples? Surely not. |
"In case you hadn't realised a democratically elected government is not the favourite vehicle for peddling US interests, whenever such a beast rears its ugly head the US will support the opposition. Need examples? Surely not." OK. Let's hear those examples. I can think of one or two, but clearly you have more. Most, however, are very much democratic like our NATO allies, ANZUS, Japanese Pact, RIO Pact, or even NAFTA. |

Ink, that's where the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) comes into play. Those were the players that Egypt wanted out of the country in the period before elections. Under NED's elaborate structure, designed to veil U.S. government funding, U.S. Information Agency (USIA) and USAID funding did not flow directly to foreign political parties, unions, business associations, and civic groups, but was instead routed through the AFL-CIO, the International Chamber of Commerce, and the IRI [International Republican Institute] and NDIIA [National Democratic Institute for International Affairs]. NED's origins go back to a bipartisan commission called the American Political Foundation established by the State Department that began to address the problem of having U.S.-funded "soft-side" overseas operations perceived as CIA fronts.[10] |

Frank, the history of U.S. destabilization of democracies in Latin America is well documented. Same for the support of repressive regimes aka military juntas that have toppled democraticaly-elected governments. Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador are immediate examples. Currently, local sectors allied with U.S. interests have been giving grief to Correa and Morales. Actually, it was an attempted coup against Correa. |
I am not talking about the history of the US. I am well aware of our previous transgressions. I am talking currently. I just get tired of some who take every available shot at the US. |
- Posted by nancy_in_venice_ca SS24 z10 CA (My Page) on Tue, Jul 17, 12 at 11:51
Very recently Egypt wanted to arrest/deport those from IRI and NDIIA. A few took refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, heralded here as being hostages, and eventually returned to the U.S. |
I am sorry that you think I am taking gratuitous shots at the US Frank, I call it as I see it not as a finger pointing exercise but to open up the secret dealings of government. Not so that I can emphasis who is the villain of the piece but in the hope that people will demand better. Currently there has been Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Gaza........ |
Why didn't they board the boat? Sheesh. It would've been so easy. Did they think they'd get outsmarted by great smugglers? It shouldn't be up to the US to police the world. Maybe that's where taxes are misspent? __________________________________________________________ |
If there wasn't any demand there wouldn't be a problem, period. Just say no. Till people get that, throw them in jail. |
That's just as naive elvis. There will always be a demand. It'd be like saying "get rid of all the guns in the world!" (we all could be on board with that!), but people would build more. It aint gonna happen. People make their own choices, right or wrong, and they will have to answer for it one day. But there's only one ultimate judge. Let 'em hang themselves, you can't live their lives for them. |
When has any prohibition ever worked? It just drives the trafficking underground/in to the shadows. Prohibition with a capital "P" certainly didn't work and did just that, creating an entire new class of criminal elite. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it, and use the proceeds to promote education, prevention, and treatment. Just like alcohol. Just like gambling. |
Since we're still going down this path... it only creates different problems to legalize it. Those thugs would still do what they're doing. And cops would still go after them to make them stop doing it. Bootleggers lived across the street from me when I lived in Bedford County in 1999. Legal or illegal, alcohol is still sold outside of legitimate institutions. It will not stop the illegal activity even if you educate. What are you going to tell them in your education? There are plenty of programs that already promote prevention. |
Here is a link that might be useful: faces of meth (and yet, there are still those who are hooked)
I agree Rob that it creats its own problems to legalize but I dont think the problems would be as severe. while legalizing alcohol did not prevent drinking to excess it did take the machine guns out of the equation. In those few small areas where peole continued to make moonshine-well that can be dealt with. In my state they are finally waking up to the advantage of small distillaries-give them a legal venue for locally grown fruit and grains. The government of Austria subsidizes small distillaries on farms-they have distillation co-ops to spread the cost of the expensive equipment-how cool is that? So much of the down side of drug use is the life style-bring it out into the sun and deal with it honestly since it is not going away by itself. To put drug users in jail is expensive and pointless-put that money into finding out why they are using in the first place ane plow all that interdiction money into useful programs in south and central America. |

ATLANTA — The Lee University Track and Field teams began the outdoor season Friday and Saturday in the Emory Invitational at the Emory track and McDonough Field. The Lady Flames placed 23rd and the Flames were 16th.
"Moving to the outdoor season, qualifying standards drop quite a bit," said Lee head coach Caleb Morgan. "It is usually tough for teams to get down to those times. We made a very smooth transition, our athletes had a lot of personal bests and we came away from the meet with 10 national qualifiers and two NCCAA No. 1 rankings."
The 10 qualifiers were evenly split between the Lady Flames and Flames. Nine came from action on the track, while one came from the field events.
Ashley Matthews started the day off with a national qualifier in the 5,000-meter run. She finished only a few seconds off of her personal best with a time of 19:03.10 and placed eighth.
Ode Fulutudilu finished sixth in the 100-meter dash. Her mark of 12.88 eclipsed the qualifying mark of 13.30.
Jessica Childers ran an NCCAA-qualifying time of 2:20.63 in the 800-meter run to finish seventh. Emily Bryan was 17th (2:26.50) and Storyie Miller was 27th (2:29.30).
Bryan was able to meet the qualifying time for the 400-meter hurdles. She crossed the finish line at 1:09.34 (10th). Emily Arnesen recorded a time of 1:14.07 (19th) and Brianna Prugh was 20th (1:14.64).
The Lady Flames fifth qualifier was Kayla Gash in the discus. Gash exceeded the 35-meter distance needed with a toss of 35.44 meters, which put her in ninth place. She finished 20th in the shot put (10.26 meters).
"Kayla Gash threw very well in the discus today," said Morgan. "She was the Tennessee runner-up in high school and her talent showed today."
Emily Carden placed 19th in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 48:40.62. Rachel Riel and Danielle King participated in the 1,500-meter run. Riel was 29th (5:27.52) and King was 40th (5:54.85).
Emmanuel Kipchumba and Adam Gullette both ran personal bests in the 800-meter run, continuing the success they had indoor, and both attained NCCAA qualifying marks. Kipchumba finished second behind Otterbein's Andrew Mantell with a time of 1:54.22, while Gullette was sixth (1:56.70). Justin Knuth finished 19th (1:59.66).
Mike Walker posted a time of 3:56.89 to place third in the 1,500-meter run. Keenen Hindes finished 45th (4:19.00) and Terris Elliott was 50th (4:20.55).
"It was great to have Mike back in a Lee University jersey," said Morgan. "It has been almost a year since he has raced and he has been working very hard gearing up for this season."
Freshman Seth Ruhling joined Walker with a No. 1 mark in the NCCAA this season. Ruhling's time of 33:09.55 in the 10,000-meter run put him in eighth place.
"The 10K is a very challenging event and he performed well in his first try at the event," said Morgan.
Camden Perez ran his first 3,000-meter steeplechase and wound up with a national qualifier and third place finish with a time of 9:45.39. Patrick Shultz placed 16th (10:17.87) in the event.
Not only did Kipchumba and Walker post qualifying times for the NCCAA National Championships, they also broke records that had been held by their head coach.
"It was very special having Kipchumba and Walker break both of my school records within an hour and a half of each other," admitted Morgan. "Both athletes are at a point in their running careers where no matter what meet we attend they will be contending for the win."
Joseph Crook, Tim Yates and Zach Orrison took on the 5,000-meter run. Crook finished 19th (16:06.16), Yates was 53rd (18:13.57) and Orrison placed 56th (18:32.52).
Mark Cisco took on the shorter distances. He placed 18th in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.57 and was 35th (24.06) in the 200-meter run.
Adam Tauzer was the only Flame to participate in a field event. He finished 26th with a shot put distance of 5.85 meters.
Lee will next travel to Rome, Ga., on Saturday, for the Shorter Relays. The all-day event will be held at Barron Stadium.

WASHINGTON - The FBI has failed to translate hundreds of thousands of hours of wiretap recordings from counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, despite steep increases in funding for new linguists and other translation services, according to a report released Monday.
An audit by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine also found that more than a third of al-Qaida-related audio recordings were not translated within 12 hours, as mandated by FBI Director Robert Mueller. Many of the recordings were not even received at FBI headquarters within that time frame, the study found.
The findings — which were completed in classified form in July but not released publicly until Monday — show the persistent problems the FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies have faced in attracting and re- taining translators with expertise in Middle Eastern and South Asian languages.
Mueller and other U.S. officials have repeatedly said that recruiting qualified linguists is among their top priorities in the fight against al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
''The FBI cannot translate all the foreign language counterterrorism and counterintelligence material it collects,'' the report said. ''The FBI's collection of material requiring translation has continued to outpace its translation capabilities. In fact, despite the infusion of more than 620 additional linguists since September 11, 2001, the FBI reported that nearly 24 percent of ongoing . . . counterintelligence and counterterrorism intercepts are not being monitored.''
Mueller said in a statement that the bureau had implemented many of Fine's recommendations for reform, but he acknowledged ''more remains to be done in our language services program.''
''We are giving this effort the highest priority,'' he said.
The FBI has trouble finding qualified linguists who can pass required security clearances for sensitive terrorism and intelligence investigations, Mueller said.
Fine's investigation determined that, as of April, the FBI had not translated more than 123,000 hours of recordings ''in languages primarily related to counterterrorism activities,'' such as Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Pashto.
The study also found that more than 370,000 hours of recordings in languages connected to counterintelligence probes had not been deciphered by that time. The backlog accounts for 30 percent of the total hours of audio recordings in those categories, the report said.
The problems persist, Fine's report found, despite a dramatic increase in funding for translation-related services within the FBI. The FBI now employs more than 1,200 linguists, compared with fewer than 900 three years ago.
It spends $70 million annually on language services, compared with $21 million in fiscal 2001.
Fine also reported that the bureau does not have enough computer storage capacity to keep up with the amount of recording it is conducting.
The limitations mean that, in some cases, surveillance recordings may be deleted before they can be reviewed, the report said.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that ''the Justice Department's translation mess has become a chronic problem that has obvious implications for our national security. . . . The administration has a responsibility to explain why it has repeatedly failed to take the necessary steps to fix it.''
In its final report on the attacks, the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission said the FBI needed to improve recruitment and retention of linguists and other counterterrorism specialists.

Hello all:
I received a new digital camera for Christmas. It's Kodak C875. It has 8 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom. So far, I have used it to take a few pictures of my cats and samples of things for my kitchen remodel, and it is working beautifully. I am realizing that I am not a very good photographer. I don't really know how to frame or balance a scene, I have no idea about how lighting affects things (that is until I say "oops, I wish I had more/less/different flash in that shot"), and I hesitate until I finally lose the scene I wished to capture. I find myself looking at something and saying "This would make a pretty postcard" and then taking a picture that leaves me flat somehow. Would any of you be willing to suggest a good beginner's book or something? It may sound silly to try and learn photography from a book, but the local adult ed classes are full, and even when they start again in the summer, they don't usually deal with digital cameras. I'd like to find something that would be a good starting point for an amateur like myself. I will mostly be taking family snapshots, with the ocassional scenery shot during a vacation, or capturing pics of my favorite players at Fenway during batting practice! Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Take care,

Emmie you might like to have a look at this book by Dave Huss. I have this one in my collection of digital photography books. I think you would be very happy with it as he takes you through the fundamentals in a manner which is easy to read and understand. I see he also has another book that looks like it would be suitable, although I'm not familiar with it. I'll put that link here at the bottom. There are many good books for beginners available and if you do a Google search, you'll also find websites with tutorials for using a digital camera. Good Luck. Sharon |
