Senate Report: Military Psychologists Helped Devise Interrogations
A new Senate investigation has confirmed the Pentagon sought the help of military psychologists as early as 2002 to devise aggressive interrogation methods that are considered torture by many legal and human rights groups. According to the Senate report, the Pentagon's then-general counsel William Haynes sent a memo in June 2002 inquiring about a military program known as SERE — "Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape." The program was originally designed to train Army soldiers how to survive enemy interrogations, but the US military reverse-engineered the program and used it on prisoners held overseas. Haynes is scheduled to testify today before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Report: US Wrongfully Imprisoned Many in Overseas Prisons
Meanwhile, a major investigation by the McClatchy newspapers has concluded the US has wrongfully imprisoned perhaps hundreds of men in overseas prisons, including Guantanamo, on the basis of flimsy or fabricated evidence, old personal scores or bounty payments. McClatchy interviewed sixty-six former prisoners. About half had no ties to militant groups or activities. Only seven had connections to the leadership of al-Qaeda.
California Performs Legally Recognized Same-Sex Weddings
In California, dozens of gay and lesbian couples were married Monday night as the state performed its first legally recognized same-sex weddings. California is the second state, after Massachusetts, to marry same-sex couples, but it is the first ready to grant licenses to couples from any state.
Al Gore Endorses Sen. Barack Obama
Former Vice President Al Gore has endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. Gore spoke at an Obama campaign rally in Detroit on Monday.
Al Gore: "After eight years of lost jobs and lower wages, we need change. After eight years of incompetence, neglect and failure, we need change. After eight years in which our Constitution has been dishonored and disrespected, we need change. After eight years of the worst, most serious foreign policy mistakes in the entire history of our nation, we need change."
Barack Obama praised Gore for his years of public service.
Sen. Barack Obama: "I want to thank, most of all, Al Gore. I want to thank him for his support. I want to thank you for your service. I want to thank Al Gore for everything that he is doing to ensure that we leave a planet that is better for our children."
Obama Hires Clinton's Ex-Campaign Manager
In other campaign news, Obama has hired Senator Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle to be chief of staff of Obama's future running mate. Many Clinton supporters view the decision as proof that Obama will not pick Clinton as his vice president. Clinton ousted Doyle as her campaign manager in February, and the two are said to be barely on speaking terms.
McCain: Lift Federal Ban on Offshore Oil Drilling
Meanwhile, the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, has called for the lifting of a federal ban on offshore oil drilling. McCain said such a move is needed to help the country become more energy independent. McCain's call is expected to be controversial even within his own party. The Republican governors of California and Florida, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charlie Crist, both oppose drilling off their states' coastlines.
Taliban Seizes Seven Villages Near Kandahar
In Afghanistan, Taliban fighters have seized control of seven villages near Kandahar, Afghanistan's second largest city. The Taliban offensive comes just days after militants blew up a prison in Kandahar, allowing over 1,000 prisoners to escape.
Amnesty: Iraqi Refugee Crisis Worsening
Amnesty International is accusing the United States and other nations of evading its responsibility toward Iraqi refugees by promoting a false picture of the security situation in Iraq. Amnesty's Sarnata Reynolds said, "While the US government's rhetoric indicates otherwise, the human rights situation in Iraq remains too dire to encourage voluntary returns." According to the United Nations, the number of Iraqis who have fled their homes has now reached 4.7 million, the highest number since the US invasion.
Iraqi refugee living in Damascus: "Their houses have been even destroyed or taken by another persons. There is no services like drinkable water, electricity. Even for the hospitals, it's not qualified enough to have medical treatment for the people. For the schools, there is always fighting from the family about their children; they're concerned about their children from being kidnapping."
Countrywide Gave Two Democrats Discounted Mortgages
In news from Capitol Hill, two senior Democratic senators are coming under criticism for accepting special low-interest mortgages from Countrywide Financial, the mortgage firm at the center of the sub-prime lending crisis. The D.C. watchdog group Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington has filed an ethics complaint against the two Democrats, Chris Dodd of Connecticut and Kent Conrad of North Dakota. The publication Portfolio reported Dodd and his wife saved more than $70,000 because of the special treatment.
Congress Subpoenas FBI Reports on CIA Leak Case
In other news from Washington, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has formally issued a subpoena for FBI reports from interviews with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in the CIA leak investigation. On Friday, former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan is scheduled to testify about the CIA leak case before the House Judiciary Committee.
Prosecutors Seek Indictment in US Attorneys Scandal
Meanwhile, there is a development in the US attorneys scandal. The Wall Street Journal reports federal prosecutors are pursuing their first criminal indictment in the case. The subject of the grand jury is reportedly Bradley Schlozman, the former chief of the Justice Department civil rights division. Schlozman has been accused of politicizing the civil rights division by staffing it with conservative allies.
Court to Rule Whether 9/11 Detainees Can Sue Ashcroft
In legal news, the Supreme Court has agreed to take a case that will determine whether former Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller and others can be sued for damages by Muslim and Arab men rounded up after 9/11. The court's decision will affect several cases, including a class action lawsuit involving hundreds of former prisoners.
Ban Ki-moon Condemns Killing of Journalists
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for an end to the "culture of impunity" surrounding the killings of journalists. Ban Ki-moon made the comment as he opened a thirty-two-foot-high glass sculpture in London dedicated to news gatherers and those who work with them who have been killed in the course of their jobs.
Ban Ki-moon: "Those who murder journalists don't only stop the free flow of information, they kill the ability of millions of people to have their stories told. This monument stands in tribute to all those who have sacrificed their lives so that the rest of us could be informed. But it is also for those who survive, those who are out there right now risking their lives to report what they uncover in the face of deadly threats."
Army Criticized for Losing Video of Shooting of Reuters Journalist
Meanwhile, there is a new development in the case of Waleed Khaled, a Reuters sound technician who was shot dead by US troops in Baghdad in 2005. The Pentagon's inspector general has determined the US soldiers who killed Khaled acted within military rules. But the inspector general admitted the Army's probe of the incident was tainted by its failure to preserve video evidence of the shooting. An Army investigator allegedly lost video from a Reuters cameraman in the car that captured events leading up to and including the shooting.
McClatchy Newspapers to Cut 1,400 Jobs
In other media news, the newspaper chain McClatchy has announced it is cutting 1,400 jobs — ten percent of its workforce. The biggest cuts are expected to be at the Miami Herald and Charlotte Observer. The Tribune newspaper chain has also announced cutbacks of another sort. The paper plans to eliminate about 500 pages a week from its newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.
Mugabe Threatens to Arrest Opposition Leaders
Tension remains high in Zimbabwe, ten days ahead of a run-off election between President Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai. On Monday, Mugabe threatened to arrest opposition leaders.
Robert Mugabe: "Sooner or rather than later, we are going to accuse the party and the party leadership of being vicariously liable and responsible for those crimes of violence, because there is now a pattern readable across the country, and that has to stop. We want to go into the election exercise peacefully."
In London, President Bush and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown accused Mugabe of orchestrating the violence in Zimbabwe.
Gordon Brown: "Mugabe must not be allowed to steal the election that is now less than two weeks away. And that is why we call for Zimbabwe to accept a United Nations human rights envoy to visit Zimbabwe now and to accept the international monitors from all parts of the world who are available to ensure that this is a free and fair election."
Robert Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since it won its independence from Britain in 1980.
Flooding in Iowa Forces Price of Corn to Record Levels
The devastating flooding in Iowa has sent the price of corn to record highs. On Monday the price of corn soared above $8 a bushel for the first time ever. The worst flooding in the Midwest in fifteen years has affected as many as five million acres of farmland. The rising price of corn will also drive higher prices of other food staples, including milk and eggs, as well as many processed foods. While customers are spending more at the supermarket, some companies are profiting. Wal-Mart's stock recently hit a four-year high in part on the increased spending on groceries.
Death Row Prisoner: Judge and Prosecutor Love Affair Tainted Trial
Lawyers for a death row prisoner in Texas scheduled to be executed tonight are claiming the prisoner's conviction should be nullified, because the judge in the double murder trial was having an affair with the prosecutor. Charles Hood has been on death row since 1990. On Monday, the state criminal appeals court rejected Hood's appeal, saying that his lawyers offered no evidence that the alleged affair made a difference in the jury finding Hood guilty.
Bush Accuses UK Journalist of Slandering America for Questioning Gitmo Policies
And finally, President Bush has accused a British journalist of slandering America after he challenged Bush on the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. Bush's comments came during an interview with British Sky News reporter Adam Boulton.
Boulton: I mean, you've talked a lot about freedom. I've heard you talk about freedom I think every time I've seen you.
Bush: Yes.
Boulton: And yet, there are those who would say, look, let's take Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and rendition and all those things, and to them that is the complete opposite of freedom.
Bush: Of course, if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But you go down — what you need to do — I think I suggested you do this at a press conference. If you go down there to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated — and they're working it through our court systems. We are a land of law.
Boulton: But the Supreme Court have just said that — you know, ruled against what you've been doing down there.
Bush: But the district court didn't. And the appellate court didn't.
Boulton: The Supreme Court is supreme, isn't it?
Bush: It is, and I accept their verdict. I don't agree with their verdict. And it's not what I was doing down there. This was a law passed by our United States Congress that I worked with the Congress to get passed and signed into law.
Boulton: But it looked like an attempt to bypass the Constitution, to a certain extent.
Bush: This is a law passed, Adam. We passed a law. Bypassing the Constitution means that we did something, you know, outside the bounds of the Constitution. We went to the Congress and got a piece of legislation passed.
Boulton: Which is now being struck down, effectively.
Bush: It is, and I accept what the Supreme Court did, and I necessarily don't have to agree with it. My only point to you is, is that, yeah, I mean, we certainly wish Abu Ghraib hadn't happened, but that should not reflect, you know, America. This was the actions of some soldiers. That doesn't show the heart and soul of America.

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
On March 21, 1915, a motion picture was screened for the first time inside the White House. President Woodrow Wilson sat down to watch D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," considered one of the most nakedly racist of all time. One hundred years later, another film was screened at the White House, this time at the invitation of the first African-American president. The film was "Selma."

Preservation Achievement Awards
On May 13, seven projects across the Granite State were recognized by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance for outstanding achievement in preservation at its annual announcement ceremony in Concord. The awards recognize individuals, organizations and corporations for work or projects in the categories of restoration, rehabilitation and stewardship as well as advocacy, planning and education. It is the Alliance's 25th year of honoring preservation achievement, and a Manchester resident with exemplary commitment and contributions to heritage organizations, and a local organization that is considered a national leader in preservation innovation and practice were also honored.
The seven winning projects range from the rescue of a rare early 1800s store and stagecoach shop to a new design for a historic 1950s military structure and revitalization of an old textile mill. "We welcome this opportunity to recognize outstanding projects and people, offer thanks, and inspire others," said the Preservation Alliance's Executive Director Jennifer Goodman.
Ken Viscarello, chairman of the Alliance's board of directors, noted the tenacity of the projects private developers and community advocates as well as the importance of investments by N.H. Community Development Finance Authority, the conservation and heritage license plate grant program, and the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program in several of the projects.
The seven construction projects are:
- Danville Heritage Commission for the rescue and restoration of the Webster Stagecoach Stop and Store
- Old Allenstown Meeting House Steering Committee, Town of Allenstown and The Allenstown Historical Society for the restoration of the Allenstown Meeting House
- Shandra McLane for the revitalization of 32 Main Street, Ashland for Squam River Studios
- City of Manchester, Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Planning and Community Development, Department of Public Works – Facilities Division for the revitalization of Dearborn Memorial Hall/Odd Fellows Hall
- Dakota Partners, Inc. and Bank of America CDC for the rehabilitation of the Hillsborough Mills for the Pine Valley Lofts, Milford
- Friends of Stark Park for stewardship of Stark Park, Manchester
- New Hampshire Army National Guard State of New Hampshire, Adjutant General's Department for outstanding design of new addition for the Milford Readiness Center.
Pat Meyers was recognized for her exemplary commitment and contributions to preservation efforts on the state and local level; she has made impressive contributions to individual historic places as well as several heritage-related organizations. After her family worked with the Manchester Historical Association and Red Cross, Greater Manchester Chapter, Manchester to place a preservation easement on the Frank Pierce Carpenter House in 1994, she became very engaged in preservation activities. As a board member, chair, committee member and volunteer of the N.H. Preservation Alliance, Meyers has played a major role in transforming and sustaining the organization, according to Alice DeSouza, former director of the N.H. Division of Travel and Tourism and advisor to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
She also has served as a trustee at the Manchester Historic Association, New Hampshire Historical Society and Strawbery Banke and helped with First Lady Susan Lynch's effort to rehabilitate the Bridges House, the official governor's residence in Concord. Under Meyers' board leadership, the Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden in Portsmouth more than doubled its attendance and restored a significant 18th century coach house. Moffatt-Ladd Director Barbara Ward says that Pat is "a colleague to all, a woman who constantly reminds us of the importance of our mission of preservation and education, and is an inspiration to staff and volunteers alike."
The Preservation Alliance acknowledged Historic Harrisville, Inc.'s commitment to innovation, good business, and community-wide stewardship in an award for outstanding leadership in historic preservation. The group formed in 1971, in reaction to the devastating bankruptcy of the town's major employer and property owner, with a new, forward-thinking model of adaptive use to keep Harrisville a working town. One building at a time, the group raised money, found tenants who fit their vision, and preceded with renovation, while pursuing conservation and housing goals along the way.
Historic Harrisville continues to push the envelope with innovative and effective preservation strategies, according to the Alliance. They kept the post office in town when it planned to leave, reopened and now own and operate the village store, and they are reestablishing water power as a source of electricity for the mill, setting a new standard for energy conservation. Preservation leaders that participated in this award nomination were hard pressed to offer specific examples of places Historic Harrisville has influenced outside of their town because their influence has, and continued to be, so pervasive. "They made preservation about blue jeans, not blue hair," said Linda Wilson, long-time deputy state historic preservation officer, "and they continue to be a shining example for towns everywhere."
This year's award program is sponsored by Sheehan, Phinney, Bass + Green, Preservation Company, Common Man Family of Restaurants, Dakota Properties, Inc., Great Bridge Properties, North Branch Construction, Inc., Elizabeth Durfee Hengen Preservation Consultant, Thurston Millwork and CMK Architects, P.A.
The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance is the statewide membership organization dedicated to preserving historic buildings, communities and landscapes through leadership, education and advocacy. Current priorities include providing assistance to community leaders and promoting the use of easements, barn preservation and tax incentives.
More to be posted shortly.
Last year's awards included the restoration of a cobbler shop in Dunbarton, the revitalization of the Newmarket Mills, the restoration of the Milton Town House, and the creation of a documentary film on the Washington, NH meetinghouse. In previous years, the Preservation Alliance has presented awards for PSNH's and PC Connection's renovations of historic buildings for corporate headquarters, the restoration of the Acworth Meetinghouse, Gorham Town Hall and the Gregg Free Library in Wilton, the rescue of Daniel Webster Farm in Franklin and the Wentworth-by-the-Sea hotel in New Castle, residential property revitalizations by NeighborWorks Greater Manchester, the re-use of the Plymouth Railroad Station, the proactive policies of the Lighthouse Kids, Gunstock Mountain Resort and Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society, and the Troy, Moultonborough and Goffstown heritage commissions.
Jennifer talked about the program with David Murdo, host of What's Happening at the Audi in this on-line version of the ConcordTV show.

Having some trouble with my John Deere 2305
My tractor seems to be straining with only a little load. I don't know if it's a hydro problem or not. When I look at the sight gauge it just looks red, don't see any lines. I have put fluid in it. Any ideas what may be causing this? I'm a new owner and don't know much about tractors. Thanks..
Re: Having some trouble with my John Deere 2305
I don't know how new you are, but an emergency brake activated will cause the tractor on run slow and sluggish. Are the RPM's up to the 1500-2000 range?

text: Book Review: Military Thriller 'Fifty Shades of Green' Hits Bestseller Lists Worldwide fernando September 9, 2012 Marine Corps 22 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: The cover of 'Fifty Shades of Green' The newest hit novel to sweep the world off its feet, Fifty Shades of Green, is a book that defies categorization. Billed by many as erotic fiction, by others as a thriller/suspense, and by some as petty novice work, the book no doubt still has fans aching for more. Set in present day Texas, the tale tells the story of Billy Bob Carter, a recent high school graduate who meets a smooth talking man in a fancy, pressed military uniform. After a series of intimidation, fast food meals, trips to the mall, and promises of shooting guns, cheap hookers, and glory, Billy is bamboozled into signing a contract that literally gives his life over to the whims of the man's shadowy organization, known only as "the Marine Corps." Billy soon finds himself on a plane, where he awaits three months of brainwashing hell on a deserted, swamp-infested island. But that's not all. He quickly learns that he is subject to repeated and raunchy anal rape by a ghastly entity dubbed "the green weenie," who is not even kind enough to allow the use of lube. Sure, he is showered with gifts and perks here and there, but Billy still finds himself torn between loving and hating his contract. Will he sign yet another four-year contract? Or will he free himself from this hate/love affair forever? Reception of the novel couldn't be more mixed. The book's growing cult-following is at about an Eight, on a scale of "One to Twilight." One diehard fan, Jessica Peters, exclaimed, "Oh my gawd! This is the best freaking book in the whole entire universe! I love it so so much and I can't wait 'til the next book comes out or maybe even a movie oh my gawd! oh my gawd! I love it! I love it! I love it!" before trailing off into mumbling, followed by tears. Others would rather see the book banned from bookshelves and burned. Marine recruiter Sergeant Jose Garcia disagrees with the book's portrayal of recruiters as devious snake-oil salesmen, but lamented that "as far as military life goes, it's a pretty accurate representation." "I don't let any of my poolees read it, and I just tell them that the author [R.L. Stines] is probably a disgruntled former dependapotamus." The book is rated 4 on a 5-point scale of green weenies and is now available in stores worldwide.

You know, there's a military resort right next to Disney World called Shades of Green (it's really nice; they have all sorts of sweet room deals, too!). I originally thought that's what this article was gonna be about – maybe a weird underground sex club at Shades of Green. But this was funny, too.

Ha, that's funny. I'm a newbie, I'd like to think those newbie's are mostly in a pipe dream, and have fun day dreaming out loud (all the while making themselves sound like idiots.
Where do all these people get the time to sail the world? Are they all 70 years old and retired with a nice nest egg? If not, don't they have job obligations, or even family? What about that one guy who said he was going to sell everything he owned, but a boat, max his credit cards, and peace out on all of his obligations?
For all the veterans, in my opinion, it seems like a waste of time even responding to people like that. I'm a quarter century young, just joined this forum, and I don't know jack about sailing. Have I sat at work thinking about how cool it would be to leave tomorrow and maybe even just down the east coast to florida and back with my girlfriend? Hell yeah I have, and its fun to think about, and totally UNrealistic. How would I pay for the boat and my other bills?
Where the hell do these people come from?

Not just a regular mattress pad, but something that's waterproof or helps reduce allergens or something that keeps mites and other ickies at bay? I was in a mattress store this weekend and noticed them for sale there. If I recall, they were zippered. I'm sure the markup is crazy high, but I just wonder if there's anything beneficial to them any more than a waterproof mattress pad you can pick up at Target or Kohls? I'm not freaked out by mites, and knock on wood, bedbugs haven't invaded my space. And I don't have kids, so I'm not worried about young-uns' having accidents in the bed. Just the out-of-the-blue spill of, say, Gatorade! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have a sleep number bed and ordered one of those AFter the craziest thing happened. It got below freezing here in tn , our upstairs bathroom pipes froze , I took a shower up there since my dh was using the MBR bath . I didn't know of course the pipes were frozen . We left to go to mall , movies , dinner and grocery shopping . Gone all day long ! Came home , pipe had burst in upstairs bathroom , flooded the floor , thru master ceiling and all over bed. There was so so much water , the entire downstairs was in about 2 inches of freezing water . When we opened the front door it was completely surreal . Our poor dog was on the couch with a horrified look on his face ! And the bed was right below the pipe , like a giant faucet had turned on above it . Oh was it a mess and a month before things were normal . So we get another sleep number with this pad. It dosnt creek or make a plasticy sound like some . Have a new puppy , doing great with his training . I put him up on bed 2 days after putting pad down . He decided in middle of playing to just panic and pee ! Right there that pad paid for itself . The bed would have never been clean from that otherwise . 2 great examples of why I am thankful to have that 200$ mattress pad ! Of course it never would have stopped the bed from being ruined under the pipes . But all it takes is one accident , and you wish you had one ! :) |
I rent my house, so I have mattress protectors on the queen beds, both the box springs and the mattresses, and then I have a mattress pad over that. they're nylon, and i got them at Building 19, cheap. It's like this. But I don't want to sleep on plastic or nylon, so I have a cotton/wool matters pad over it. From Overstock.com |
If you are worried about mites you should use a UV wand to kill them. Mere imprisonment may not keep them from doing their mischief with allergies. |
I purchased one that the mattress recommended without it they would not honor their warranty. It had a rubbery backing and it was so hot I had to take it off. I hated my new mattress till I took it off. I only use a regular mattress pad now. |

We just got two twin XL matresses and as Jeannie said if you want the warranty you get the pads. We were lucky and didn't have to pay for them as we'd mentioned we had first looked at the big furniture mart next door and the small Serta store gave us a better deal. Even gave us a set of very nice sheets too. The mattress pads are not noisy at all. |
KSWL, my gd has reallllly bad allergies with enemy number one, we just discovered, being dust mites. Looked on many a site, but have never seen the UV wand's mentioned. Please !. More information!! We're pretty desperate for help. She gets so sick. TIA Marti Please excuse this semi - hack. |
Never mind kswl. I checked it out on Google and read a nytimes article. Seems they are impractical to use on large area like a bed. Lots of negative reviews. Thank you, anyway. Now back to mattress covers! |
I don't use a mattress protector. Mattresses are build to be somewhat permeably and to absorb sweat. A protector is like layer that doesn't allow the mattress to do so. |

We put a new mattress cover on our new mattress. After suffering with heat issues for 2 years we finally removed it. Relief. The cover repelled water, was not waterproof but it sure reflected heat back to us. We decided it was worth the risk to the mattress to be able to sleep comfortably. Just something to consider. |
My allergist recommends mattress covers for certain allergies. I believe they are particularly good for dustmites. Something like shown above that completely covers and zips up. Just like pillow protectors (which we use). We use a mattress pad that is waterproof. Has a vinyl backing. I think it is quilted to the cotton covering. It doesn't make any noise, isn't hot and we have used it for years. I don't remember where I bought it, it wasn't expensive and I am a bit sad, because yesterday, while changing the bed I thought to myself that I need to replace it. We don't have children (or grandchildren), our pup is completely housebroken (she does sleep on the end of the bed), but I do think about illness or just some kind of accident. We have always had a waterproof cover on our mattress. |
I use the Protect-A-Bed Waterproof Cotton Terry Mattress Protector. I bought it from QVC. I like it very much. I don't even feel that it is there and it doesn't make a sound when you turn in bed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Protect-A-Bed Waterproof Cotton Terry Mattress Protector
Absolutely use a mattress protector. We use one for allergens and liquid resistance, but not the full on plastic waterproof kind. I've never heard of wanting your mattress to absorb sweat. Body oils, fluids, and sweat will contribute to breaking down the mattress foam and materials over time, as well as encourage mites, breed bacteria, and make it smell. A mattress can nearly double in weight after years of sweat, skin shedding, mites, etc. It's gross to think about, but it's true. Most mattress companies require a protector to keep the warranty valid. One stain and they void the warranty. A protector and mattress pad are used because they can be washed or even completely switched out for new on a yearly basis, whereas a mattress is too expensive for such. |

Riot will you please learn balance :/ now elise is yet another tanky dps that kills you without building damage items, will you please stop it.
Elise is kind of meh. I mean the untargetable web is neat, but she doesn't offer a lot besides the whole can't catch me thing. She reminds me alot of shaco.
Yeah, because this random 1200 elo player knows how to balance the game better then obviously Riot.
tanky dps elise?
Yeah, she kills you without building damage items because of the buff. It's not that they only buffed her ratios, meaning her scaling with damage items. Elise without damage items is nearly the same as before.
Elise is actually still pretty forgettable.
Chaotic HeartLD
... you do realize the only thing they really buffed WAS her AP ratios, right? This means that when she buys AP items she does slightly more damage than before. If she doesn't buy "damage" items she does EXACTLY the same amount of damage as before. If someone builds her pure tank, they get absolutely no benefit from the recent "buff", except the minor QoL changes to her damageless stun. While the minor buffs helped out her AP builds... slightly... there are still "clunky" parts of her kit that hold her back; particularly the delay on spider W, bad ai on spiderlings, animation delay on rappel, etc. She is slightly improved (and only if you build lots of AP on her), but I still think she needs some QoL fixes. No more real buffs... just those few issues corrected.
Pff elise sucks, she gets the same damage on attack through AP as Teemo does (adding spiders and darts dot), is just as squishy as he is, with out the benefit of an escape mech, ranged sustained damage, disable that you can actually use while fighting (her human E will be gone by the time you are on them as a spider), being melee instead of range, no move speed bonus, and cant build for sustain since she needs to build life. So basically she is worst of than teemo on basically the same mechanics, she has some burst but if you can live through it (which is not all that hard) she is toasted.
A Pillòw
Who are we talking about here? "another tanky dps that kills you without building damage items" is so severely accurate I'm unable to see the arrow, it's so small.
if elise shreds you, i wonder who else you have problems with. jungle wolves? level 1 soraka? nunubot?

In Chrysler bankruptcy, GM gets glimpse of one road ahead
In coming weeks, talks among GM stakeholders could be influenced by how the judge in the Chrysler case treats creditors.
John T. Greilick/Detroit News/Newscom
The bankruptcy of Chrysler could serve as a test case for the Obama administration as it prepares for the possibility of taking another automotive giant, General Motors, down the same path.
President Obama hopes that the Chrysler bankruptcy will be a relatively quick process that will help save thousands of US factory jobs.
One promising sign is that Chrysler has filed for a Chapter 11-style bankruptcy, from which it may emerge as a viable carmarker. A month ago, a White House task force gave a bleak assessment of the company's prospects, and the firm appeared headed for possible liquidation under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code.
Even now, however, the court process for Chrysler may not prove quick or simple.
Its efforts to develop a government-backed restructuring plan have faltered on the same issue that has snagged GM – a battle with creditors who hold company bonds. Chrysler has been bargaining with creditors out of court for weeks, to little avail. If the negotiations don't go better in court, it could send an alarm signal to GM.
"At this point, it could go either way," says Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of Edmunds.com, an automotive information service based in Santa Monica, Calif. "The next couple of weeks are really going to paint the picture of whether this is something that is quick [or not]."

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
13 Boaz married Ruth. She became his wife. Boaz slept with her. By God's gracious gift she conceived and had a son. | 13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. Then he went to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. |
14 The town women said to Naomi, "Blessed be God! He didn't leave you without family to carry on your life. May this baby grow up to be famous in Israel! | 14 The women said to Naomi: "Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! |
15 He'll make you young again! He'll take care of you in old age. And this daughter-in-law who has brought him into the world and loves you so much, why, she's worth more to you than seven sons!" | 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth." |
16 Naomi took the baby and held him in her arms, cuddling him, cooing over him, waiting on him hand and foot. | 16 Then Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap and cared for him. |
17 The neighborhood women started calling him "Naomi's baby boy!" But his real name was Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David. | 17 The women living there said, "Naomi has a son." And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. |

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's city council members can't challenge the dismissal of the city's bankruptcy, an appeals court ruled today.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia granted a request by Harrisburg's mayor and the County of Dauphin to block the councilors attempt to appeal. The mayor, the county and the state of Pennsylvania opposed the bankruptcy when it was filed by a majority of the council in October.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary D. France in Harrisburg dismissed the bankruptcy on Nov. 23, saying it wasn't authorized by state law. She later refused to let the council's attorney, Mark Schwartz, challenge her ruling, saying that he waited too long. Her decision was upheld by U.S. District Judge Sylvia H. Rambo, who called the effort to appeal to district court "potentially frivolous."
Schwartz said today he may ask the court to clarify the ruling.
Harrisburg, a city of 49,500, is insolvent in part because of $300 million in debt related to the overhaul and expansion of a waste-to-energy plant that doesn't generate enough revenue. The city has missed payments related to the debt.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has appointed two receivers with authority to impose a financial recovery plan on the city. The first resigned earlier this year, citing "political and ethical crosswinds."
The second, retired U.S. Air Force Major General William B. Lynch, will seek to have his appointment confirmed by a state court later this month.
The council's appeal is Harrisburg v. AFSCME District Council 90, 12-cv-00130, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania (Harrisburg). The bankruptcy case was In re City of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1:11-bk-06938, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania (Harrisburg).

The Android launcher has always been ground zero for device customization, and most launchers make at least some concession to user options. But TSF Shell, which we've covered before, surely takes the cake for sheer flexibility. The latest update, to Beta version 1.6.0, adds a dazzling amount of new features. Granted, most of these are eye candy - something that TSF never lacked in the first place - but a few of them are genuinely useful.
Now here's a novel idea! Putting weather information on the television! Weather Underground is now available for the Google TV, bringing a rather nice, simple weather app to the Google TV. The app features a 6-day forecast, hourly forecasts, and maps of your local area with weather information overlaid. It's pretty nifty.
It may not be the most exciting app, but this is the way it should be, shouldn't it?
One of the nicest things about Android that gets taken for granted is the ability to customize your user interface. While most folks tend to stick to app icons for launching their apps, Tagy offers an alternative approach: a tag cloud. Tagy is actually a set of widgets that let you specify a list of apps, contacts, or bookmarks to appear in a single widget. Then, as you use the widget, the items you use more often will get bigger.
Volume control on Android can be kind of a pain to manage, as there's multiple volume settings that need to be managed, but it's not always obvious what settings you're adjusting when. Slider Widget simplifies this process by placing all five independent volume controls, as wells a brightness control setting, on your homescreen in one convenient widget.
The widget not only displays what level the various settings are at, but gives the user a handy slider for adjusting each one without taking up a ton of space on the homescreen.
In a post to Reddit earlier this evening, TalkLittle, the mind behind Reddit is Fun, announced that the acclaimed Reddit app has been updated to version 2.0. Perhaps the most notable enhancement to the app is official tablet optimization, bringing dual-pane, action-bar sporting goodness to your Android tablet. Other changes include widget enhancements, a fully featured inbox interface, search functionality, saved posts, comment navigation buttons, and more. Here's the full list of improvements:
- Tablet optimization (PRO)
- Widget shows different color for visited links (PRO)
- Store saved drafts for replies and messages (PRO)
- ActionBarSherlock 3.5.1
- Search
- Saved posts
- Improved subreddit management and filtering
- Comment navigation buttons
- Fully featured inbox
- Fixed mail notifications
- Added many features for user profiles
- Got rid of many dialogs
Users may notice that RIF's tablet interface, improved widget, and draft-saving functionality are marked "PRO." These features are only available to users who purchase Reddit is Fun Golden Platinum, which comes in at a reasonable $1.99.
The GO team is, by now, pretty well known - and for good reason. They offer an unbelievable number of ways to overhaul your phone - such as GO SMS Pro, GO Contacts, and GO Keyboard - not to mention dozens of themes for all of their apps. But they are perhaps most well known for GO Launcher EX, and the tons of widgets (and more!) Now, they've released a new one to go with the Launcher: GO Weather Widget.
Okay, so Redditastic isn't technically an app, but it is a pretty sweet widget that lets you throw your favorite subreddits on one of your homescreens. Unfortunately it's only currently available for devices running Honeycomb or ICS, and it probably won't see any previous builds of Android simply because scrollable widgets aren't supported by them unless you use a custom launcher. That being said, if you do own a supported device, this Reddit widget is definitely one to check out.
With the launch of the Galaxy Nexus, there's a good chance that many users left their current carrier to go with Verizon. Since Big Red no longer offers unlimited data plans, keeping tabs on your data usage is an absolute must. For that, Onavo is here to help, and the most recent update to its app makes monitoring your usage even easier.
The new widgets include App Watch, which helps you keep track of how much data is being used an a per-app basis; a data plan used widget, which offers a quick look at where you're at for the month (with percentage used); and a live data usage 1x4 that shows how much data you've used in the last 30 minutes.
There is no shortage of launcher replacements for Android, but once in a while a new one comes along and takes the launcher experience to a new level. Such is the case with TSF Shell Pro, a new launcher currently in development by a team of developers who call themselves C3D. TSF, their brand, stands for The Special Forces, and special they are - just take a look at what the team cooked up.
Android's Google+ app just got updated to version 2.1.1., bringing back the popular posting widget, which allows users to post updates and photos on the fly right from their home screen.
Besides that, the new update brings fixes for download and installation issues, and various bug fixes. If you've been missing the Google+ posting widget, your wish has just been granted. Head to the market and grab the update!
