The leader of al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, has been killed, Al Arabiya television reported Friday.
Muqrin claimed responsibility for the beheading of a U.S. engineer Friday and the killing of other Westerners in the kingdom, which has battled Osama bin Laden's group for over a year. Arabiya gave no further details.

Is it too much to ask that we see video of his body wrapped in deli-sliced ham?

I hope it was a gut shot, and it took him a couple of hours to bleed out, and he was conscious and in agony the entire time. No amount of pain would be too much for him to suffer.
May he rot in hell.

Well and good. But notice that once again the Saudi's have killed a fellow before anybody got a chance to ask him any questions.

I want to see the body. Look I know that the Suads are fighting a fraticidal civil war, but I still don't trust them. Or actually because of that, I don't trust them. I am never really sure which side is making the claim (to have killed him in this situation.)

If the claim the perpetrators are killed is reliable, the very swiftness of the action raises questions. The Saudis, it would appear, knew all along who their local al Qaeda chief is/was, and where to find him. Who among the Saudis, then, has reason not to have dealt with him long ago?

Sort of like the Pakistanis having Zawahiri surrounded.
Al Arabiya? It's credibiity is only slightly above the Weekly World News.
I don't believe this story for a second. The intelligence service of a totalitarian country just happened to stumble into this guy shortly after the commission of this atrocity? This whole thing stinks.
Wait a few days until these slimebags quietly announce that they got the wrong man, and then proceed to blame the Jews.

They killed them too quickly. You only get to these kinds of people when you know where they were to begin with.
They were probably killed in order to shut them up. Remeber the firat rule of assasination:
Kill the killers (deadmen tell no tales)

The Saudis apparently claimed that they caught him trying to dispose of the body. Amazing how quickly they did that detective work.

From CNN:
"The bodies have been shown on Saudi TV," the security source told CNN. "If he wasn't dead, he would be issuing the statement instead of having it issued in his name."
Twelve important suspects from al-Muqrin's terror cell were arrested Friday, Al-Jubeir said. Most are Saudi citizens, he said.
Al-Muqrin's No. 2 man, Rakan Muhsin Mohammad Alsaykhan — the second most-wanted on the Saudi Interior Ministry's list — was among those arrested, Saudi security sources said.
Those captured include several senior al Qaeda operatives from different operational units in Saudi Arabia, the sources said.
The sources said authorities also confiscated a vehicle that was used in an attack on a BBC crew that left a cameraman dead.
The Web statement from "Voice of Jihad" denied that al-Muqrin was dead.
"God the great has said, 'Oh believers, if an infidel came to you with some news, verify all,'" the statement began.
Two of the dead were identified as Faisal Abdulrahman Abdullah Aldakheel and Bandar Abdulrahman Abdullah Aldakheel, two brothers who were 11th and 20th, respectively, on the Saudi most-wanted list, the sources said. The four were slain after a police chase and gunbattle in Riyadh, the sources said. Five Saudi security forces were also killed.
Also killed was Turki al-Mutari, who was responsible for carrying out an operation in Khobar last month, he said.
One Saudi security force member was also killed and two were wounded.
Saudi security sources said it is significant that Alsaykhan — who had close ties with the al Qaeda mastermind of the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole — was captured alive.

The body hasn't been found yet. That report was false. The chase and gun fight started at a road block. The guys killed probably weren't the actual Johnson murderers, but headed the al Qaeda group that claimed responsibility.

16. rosignol
it occurs to me that there is a significant advantage for a terrorist in being declared dead- your file is closed, people stop actively searching for you, and whoever claims to have killed you gets a pat on the back.
I don't just want a body, I want DNA confirmation of their identity.

The way to tell Saudi Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign policy adviser, from Don Knotts is that the Saudi doesn't wear a bow tie.
And riddle me this… the Fraudi's can't find the body but by gosh they managed to shoot up the 'perpetrator' within two hours of the photos getting posted on the internet.
How convenient for them to have a suspect, confirm his guilt and kill him so promptly.
Or maybe… they knew where a bad-boy, Abdulaziz Issa Abdul-Mohsin al-Moqrin, was all the time and when he misbehaved, or they needed a fall guy, they wacked him?

18. Jim
I'm deeply suspicious of this. Quite convenient that it happened so soon after the death and that no one was left alive eh?
Call me cynical…but I don't trust the saudis…never have and never will.

Let's just hope that they have more actions like this, before any more hostages are killed that is. That would mean even if they are not on the side of the angels, they will be running out of fall guys.
Unlikely, unfortunately

In-Flight Drinking: How Much Is Too Much?
Booze-fueled air emergencies are making headlines. Should in-flight alcohol be grounded?
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
Should alcohol on airplanes be banned?
At a time of heightened airline security, alcohol-fueled air emergencies are making headlines.
A passenger on a flight from Atlanta to San Francisco locked himself in a lavatory, removed his shoes and shirt and began shaving, according to news reports. After he refused to come out, flight attendants blockaded the cockpit with beverage carts and armed other passengers with fire extinguishers. The plane made an emergency landing in Colorado, escorted by two F-16 fighter jets. It was reported that the passenger was drunk, having consuming five airplane-sized bottles of wine.
The pilot of a flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu made an unscheduled landing in Los Angeles after a passenger became involved in a "dispute." News reports said the male passenger may have had "too much to drink."
The mix of altitude and alcohol prompted the travel website FareCompare.com to ask readers if booze should now be banned onboard.
"I don't see why liquor should be banned just because of the irresponsible behavior of a handful of people," one reader wrote. Increase the penalty for drunken in-flight behavior, wrote another, and "make the drunk passenger responsible for the entire cost of any diversion of the plane or military escort." Another reader doubted that a ban would solve the problem, saying, "If someone wants to drink, I'm pretty sure they can find an airport bar that will serve them. Do you get rid of those, too?"
Tell us what you think: Should in-flight alcohol be grounded?

DELOITTE HAS DEFENDED its audit of Autonomy following allegations of accounting misrepresentations and improprieties by management at the UK technology company.
Hewlett Packard announced it planned to write off more than $5bn (£3.1bn) from its acquisition of Autonomy, which was audited by Deloitte, due to accounting misrepresentations and improprieties it alleges were committed by senior Autonomy management.
Further reading
However, a spokesman for Deloitte said: "Deloitte categorically denies that it had any knowledge of any accounting improprieties or misrepresentations in Autonomy's financial statements. We conducted our audit work in full compliance with regulation and professional standards. We are unable to discuss our audit work further due to client confidentiality. We will cooperate with the relevant authorities with any investigations into these allegations.
"Deloitte UK was auditor to Autonomy at the time of its acquisition by HP. Deloitte's most recent audit opinion on Autonomy's financial statements was for the year ended 31 December 2010 and was signed in February 2011."
In a call to analysts yesterday, HP CEO Meg Whitman (pictured) said the HP board relied heavily on the financial data audited by Deloitte and, in a due diligence exercise, brought in KPMG to audit Deloitte's work.
Hewlett Packard has referred the matter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement division and the UK's Serious Fraud Office.

Happy Ending
Music & Lyrics by Bro. Mark Gabatino
Arrangement & Vocals by Bro. Leonard Mendoza
As we journey on in this troubled world
There are trials that we will all suffer
But we know the truth and we must believe
Even in these times of uncertainty
We will see the day that we all long for
So we must stay strong till the end
Just hold on, and run this race for the winning
Just stay strong, as we vowed since the beginning
Don't give up, your faith keep on defending
Till the day that we receive our happy ending
We must live upright
And obey God's words
Looking forward to the day His Son returns
When we see that day that we all long for
All our pain will come to an end
Even if today, life may be hard
We will have such a wonderful future
So don't grow weak, keep up the fight
Remain inside of the Church of Christ

From left, JBS S.A. CEO Wesley Batista, Takashi Miura and Zensho founder Kentaro Ogawa.
June 14, 2011
Zensho Group is a Tokyo-based company that focuses on safe and abundant food for restaurants and other customers. With its impressive scope and size, Zensho's steady demand would clearly make it an excellent client for JBS – but until recently, Japanese concerns about bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or BSE, commonly known as mad-cow disease) were standing in the way. Enter the JBS international sales team, along with several important players from Five Rivers and the Cactus, Texas, processing plant: Now we've got a robust new program in place and an important new beef-export deal.
The original problem with selling to Zensho was that the company wanted to brand its beef, but U.S. feeding guidelines didn't meet the company's branding plans. In 2003, in fact, Zensho requested that all U.S. beef be 100% tested for BSE and stopped purchasing any beef that was not – which effectively cut out all U.S.-based supply. As Japanese demand for quality beef increased, however, the company recognized a growing need for high-quality sources.
In 2010, Zensho officials traveled to the United States in search of a workable solution to the supply problem that would get around its self-imposed ban while meeting the company's marketing needs. It wasn't long before Zensho realized that most U.S. beef producers were too far removed from their cattle sources to pull together a new and specialized program, but while meeting with agricultural officials in Washington, D.C., Zensho found its way to Chandler Keys, JBS's vice president of government and industry relations. Chandler put the company in touch with the international sales team in Greeley.
Together with Five Rivers Cattle Feeding and the Cactus processing plant, international sales helped create a specialized program for Zensho that ensured a robust supply of specially fed cattle to match the company's requirements, along with a specialized processing line that included new training and expertise and a Zensho representative on-site in Cactus.
Altogether, the international sales team notes that the partnership between JBS and Zensho was a direct result of JBS's ability to be flexible and to react fast. JBS wasn't the only supplier they approached, but because of our structure, we were the only ones who could meet their requirements. That ability to flex and respond to a specific customer request is a direct result of CEO Wesley Batista's vision for JBS and the company's series of acquisitions over the past several years. The team also credits the expertise of Five Rivers as well as the team at Cactus, which has been phenomenal in responding and in their attention to quality.
The first shipment of Zensho beef went out in November of 2010, and Batista helped celebrate that success by flying to Japan and meeting with Zensho founder Kentaro Ogawa when it arrived. Shipments have been ongoing since then, and in the next two months, JBS will process close to 20,000 cattle in the program. The Greeley plant will be involved with this increased volume, as well, and the program is expected to expand to more cattle in the future. The Zensho team is very pleased with the quality and service, and overall the program has been so successful that the biggest problem is going to be supply. In other words, they simply want more.

text: Registration - PKRA Brazil Barra Do CunhauSep-13-2011Brazil welcomed the cream of Kiteboarding's freestylers for the PKRA World Tour this week on the beautiful spot of Barra do Cunhau, Rio Grande do Norte. At this time of year it is one of the windiest places on earth and promises to produce an exciting week of competition. Already hosting the national championships the previous week for the Volkswagen Kite Tour, some new talents have been revealed and are looking forward to taking on the top freestyle kitesurfers in the world. These include: Eudázio Da Silva (BRA) actual leader of the Brazilian tour, Carlos Madson (BRA), 2010 Brazilian champion, and Evandro Da Silva (BRA) who came 2nd on the last PKRA Brazilian event 3 years ago. In total thirty-four riders from over ten different nations registered in this, the sixth freestyle tour stop of the season. It's been an action packed season with the riders battling for the title all around the world from Thailand to Morocco and most recently in Germany. Alex Pastor (ESP, Airush), Sebastien Garat (FRA, RRD), Tom Hebert (FRA, North) and Ariel Corniel (DOM, Ozone) have been training here all week and all have commented that the conditions are perfect for competition as the spot offers perfect flat water and steady trade winds. Recently crowned world champion Youri Zoon (NED, Slingshot) spent his time training up in the north of Brazil, in Cumbuco, Ceara and stated that the level of the local Brazilian riders was unreal. The Dutch rider hasn't lost a single heat this year and is looking forward to defend his winning streak. In the girls division, Bruna Kajiya (BRA, Flexifoil) won the nationals in Barra do Cunhau just last week, Karolina Winkowska (POL, Slingshot) injured her ankle in Cumbuco and won't be able to compete in this event, leaving her Polish friend Asia Litwin (POL, Nobile) represent their home country. This tour stop will be the second to last event of the year with 37000 dollars prize money up for grabs. This is event is organized by Dream Factory with the PKRA. The Kitesurf Wind Riders is sponsored by Volkswagen, co sponsored by the Kitesurf and Surf Association of Rio Grande de Norte (AKSRN), Viva Barra Association, the Ministery of Tourism, the State of Rio Grande do Norte, the secretary of Tourism of Rio Grande do Norte and Emprotur.

Back problems: Proper lifting
No one is immune to back injury. Whether you have a strong back or have hurt your back before, it is well worth it to:
- Stop yourself before casually picking up a light or heavy load.
- Plan in your mind for the best way to lift what's in front of you. This could include enlisting help from one or more people.
- Lift and move slowly and carefully.
The time you take to use the right lifting mechanics is far less than the days, weeks, or months it can take to heal from a back injury.
Before focusing on the right way to lift, review the following common lifting mistakes that easily lead to a back injury:
- Allowing the back to curve forward while you grasp an object, then lifting by straightening the back
- Bending at the hips but keeping the legs straight while grasping and lifting
- Twisting the back while lifting or holding, usually by turning the shoulders, but not the hips
- Holding an object away from the body
- Lifting a heavy object (or child) above shoulder level
- Attempting to lift an object that's too heavy or awkward for one person to safely lift
- Underestimating the need to be careful when lifting a light object
Test Your Knowledge
I only need to be careful about body mechanics when I'm lifting something that's heavy or awkward.
This answer is incorrect.
Regardless of the weight of an object, careful lifting is important. You can injure your back simply by turning the wrong way while lifting a light object.
This answer is correct.
Regardless of the weight of an object, careful lifting is important. You can injure your back simply by turning the wrong way while lifting a light object.
Back injury is best avoided at all costs. After the first time you have injured your back, it becomes more vulnerable to future injury. A back injury can alter your entire quality of life and possibly your livelihood, especially if it returns or becomes chronic.
Poor lifting technique can injure your back in various ways:
- Muscle or ligament strain—or tiny tears in the muscle or ligament—commonly results from a combination of poor body mechanics and too much of a burden on your back muscles.
- Spinal disc injury is often caused by forward bending of the spine and poor lifting technique. A spinal disc that is squeezed by the vertebrae above and below it can bulge or break open (herniated disc), causing back and leg pain and numbness (sciatica) and occasionally bowel and bladder problems.
- Vertebrae can become damaged during awkward lifting.
Test Your Knowledge
Poor lifting technique can cause an injury to the muscle, spinal discs, or bone.
This answer is correct.
The back is a complex system of bone and connective tissue, any or all of which can be injured by poor lifting practices.
This answer is incorrect.
The back is a complex system of bone and connective tissue, any or all of which can be injured by poor lifting practices.
Follow these basic rules to protect your back while lifting:
- Keep a wide base of support. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, with one foot slightly ahead of the other (karate stance).
- Squat down, bending at the hips and knees only. If necessary, put one knee to the floor and your other knee in front of you, bent at a right angle (half kneeling).
- Maintain good posture. Look straight ahead, and keep your back straight, your chest out, and your shoulders back. This helps keep your upper back straight while maintaining a slight arch in your lower back.
- Slowly lift by straightening your hips and knees (not your back). Keep your back straight, and don't twist as you lift.
- Hold the load as close to your body as possible, at the level of your belly button.
- Use your feet to change direction, taking small steps.
- Lead with your hips as you change direction. Keep your shoulders in line with your hips as you move.
- Set down your load carefully, squatting with the knees and hips only.
See a picture of proper lifting technique.
Test Your Knowledge
Safe lifting is intuitive—we do it without thinking about it.
This answer is incorrect.
People tend to lean over and lift with their backs. However easy it may be to do, this can lead to injury. Take time for conscious thought to stop, plan, and lift safely.

Safety is the Portland Bureau of Transportation's No. 1 priority. Every life altering injury or death caused by traffic crashes is a tragedy that resonates through our families and neighborhoods. We're constantly working to improve safety throughout the city by reducing speeding, making crossings safer, creating partnerships with police and working with the community.
We promote safety through engineering, education and enforcement -- and we believe that everyone can help. By slowing down, being sober when we travel, and following the rules of the road, we can make Portland safer. During the winter months, when it gets darker earlier, it's especially important for everyone to be extra aware, whether you're driving a car, riding a bike or walking.
Below, you can find links to more safety education resources, as well as details on our High Crash Corridor Safety Program. Look out for each other out there!

At a recent hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel said improvements in IT portfolio management and cost oversight have yielded more than $2.5 billion in identified cost savings and $1.9 billion in realized savings. Specifically, the PortfolioStat process and consolidation of commodity IT drove the efficiencies.
Barely was VanRoekel finished with this opening gambit when the stakes were raised. "The target should be much higher than that," argued David Powner, director of IT management issues at the Government Accountability Office. He went on to argue that "based on our work, there are over 200 PortfolioStat initiatives that agencies are working on to eliminate at least $5.5 billion in duplicative savings."
So GAO had the high bid, for two weeks. Then doubling down -- and doubling down again -- came a study by MeriTalk based on a survey of 300 federal network managers. According to the study's sponsor, the U.S. government has the potential to achieve $11.2 billion in annual savings by taking full advantage of data center consolidation, virtualization, cloud computing, remote access and infrastructure diversification. If network managers were able to significantly increase network speed, the survey further claims, agencies could save an additional $11 billion in one year.
So if agencies were to fully implement those five initiatives, they could save more than one-quarter of the government's annual $80 billion IT budget.
Coincidentally or not, it's the $20 billion-plus figure I've heard most often in conversations with House and Senate members and staff. But over the years, I've come to worry whenever cost savings are claimed. And here is why.
Economy and efficiency are major tenets of traditional public administration doctrine. One hears over and over about a government that works better and costs less or about the need to do more with less. But as Rufus Miles, an author and federal administrator who served as an assistant secretary under three presidents, asserted, "Economy as a ground for major reorganization is a will-o'-the-wisp."
"It is impossible to prove after the fact, how much, if any, has been saved," he went on to say. "Since it is never possible to know what costs would have been without the reorganization, such calculations are close to meaningless."
For validation, one need only look at the annual reports issued by inspectors general across the government. Look at the savings claimed, the "funds put to better use," the economies and efficiencies, and the allegations of fraud, abuse and waste. If only half of them were real, the federal government would be showing a budget surplus this year instead of a massive deficit.
And beware the law of unintended consequences. Several come to mind from the Clinton-era Reinventing Government initiative. A report from the National Performance Review at the time estimated that $108 billion would be saved in the final five years of the Clinton-Gore term, while agencies' reinvention activities would realize more than $10 billion in savings and recommendations from NPR's second phase would yield $69.6 billion in savings for a grand total of $188 billion in five years.
Re-engineering the bureaucracy would also streamline government and reduce the civilian government workforce by 272,900 full-time equivalents.
The result? The newly elected Congress, led by then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, methodically went about "capturing" those claimed dollar and personnel savings -- and devastated acquisition and other administrative areas for years to come.

Alan: Clever. Pith saves you the rigor of going through and actually calculating out which of the savings overlap or cancel each other out. You can just add them up and point to a big, bad number. Of course, if I worked for Cisco I'd be pretty opposed to savings of any kind too. Since you must defend the status quo at all costs, any money saved by better government comes right out of your revenue line.

Sleep Train Arena
Attendance: 16,193
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Isaiah Thomas netted 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting and the Sacramento Kings grinded out a 120-109 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday at Sleep Train Arena.
Marcus Thornton followed with 24 points, Jason Thompson contributed 21 and DeMarcus Cousins added 13 points with 11 rebounds to help Sacramento avenge Monday's loss at Utah and end a four-game skid.
"We were energized and looked like a totally different team," said Thomas. "Especially on the offensive end, we were sharing the ball, we were smiling, everything. It was good for us."
Alec Burks put forth a career-best 24 points, but the Jazz suffered their second straight defeat and third consecutive on the road. Al Jefferson was the only starter for Utah in double-figures, scoring 16 points.
"We just couldn't get over the hump," said Utah coach Tyrone Corbin. "They made some baskets, but these guys will continue to work hard. We'll get better, we just have to learn to be smarter and tougher in key situations."
After rallying from a 13-point deficit, the Jazz took their last lead at 50-49 late in the second quarter, but the Kings finished the period strong and rolled from there.
Utah briefly held the advantage following a 17-3 push, but Thompson answered with a running jumper at the other end to put the Kings back on top. They would finish the quarter on a 6-0 run to grab a 62-54 edge before blowing the game open in the third.
John Salmons' triple gave Sacramento a 14-point cushion and following five ensuing free throws, the Kings completed a 10-0 run to take a 77-58 lead just past the midway point of the third.
Utah shot 57.9 percent in the first half, but converted just 38.1 percent of its attempts in the third and trailed 87-74 going into the fourth.
Thomas scored 10 of his points for Sacramento in the fourth, with his three- point play midway through the stanza putting the Kings ahead by 20.
Enes Kanter, who scored all 15 of his points in the second half, followed his three-point play with a layup to reduce Utah's deficit to nine, but it was too little too late as the Jazz never came any closer.

Quite a few people today usually get perplexed by the money terms and conditions this kind of as currency, forex trading exchange, investing and many others. Its a big intricate money world and 1 of the new investing ideas is day buying and selling.
Day buying and selling in its most basic time period indicates buying and marketing securities, stock and other fiscal expense within just a solitary buying and selling day. It addresses a broad wide variety penny stocks of money solutions these kinds of as shares, currencies, foreign exchange, equity index, futures and commodities.
The fiscal items that are introduced are only held with a trading day and have to be binary options trading sold at the finish of a trading day
Due to the short time interval in which to acquire and promote shares, day investing is considered dangerous. If you are trade oil interested in day trading, be geared up to have sufficient capital. You want to acquire at least one thousand shares of a stock. Be geared up for this capital to be expendable. day trading
Though day buying and selling is risky, it does have major rewards if you know how to play in this recreation. Numerous day traders by no means allow by themselves to get emotional forex signals with any 1 stock. They must know when to lower their losses when the want arises as well as ready to review the latest industry trend significantly in the brief binary options trading time period.
A person edge of day buying and selling is that the intraday margin is 50 to one. Thats means you are permitted to trade up to fifty occasions your first richesse binary options trading .
So what if you do not have the necessary richesse to spend in day buying and selling. Fortunately, you could test day buying and selling currencies. Buying and selling currencies needs considerably less funds. You trade gold only want a couple of hundred dollars to be equipped to open up a forex mini account.
One important disadvantage of day buying and selling is the stock market is only open up forex trading for about 8 hrs every day. However for currency trading, the forex trading market is open up 24/seven. That signifies you can trade just about any time of the day.
An additional advantage of day investing currencies is that most day traders get an intraday margin of four. That suggests with the identical capital, you can trade up to 4 forex charts times your richesse. For instance, if you have $10,000 as funds, you can trade up to $forty,000. This provides you more leverage if you come to a decision to purchase forex traders greater price currencies.
Day trading currrencies are also less complicated to watch and predict in comparison to stocks as there are much less of them and the components influencing world wide forex trading marketplace are investment online lesser
In day trading, you can get rid of huge as very well as win huge all in a solitary day so I would not recommend anyone to get up day investing exchange until finally you have enough knowledge and expertise in the stock or foreign exchange markets. Clever and fast conclusion building is wanted as very well as the typical stock investigation examination, market place examination and so forth.

Paul PelleritoAugust 1998 |
Yeah, I'm back.
I had to take a few months off, school and everything kept me busy. I'm finally out of high school, and ready to move on to college. Graduation and my open house kept all of us busy, not to mention the fact that we had a big storm and lost our power for the whole week! My brother and I both had our open houses on the same day, so we had twice as much food to make, and rented our a pavilion in our local park for everyone. It was fun watching my dad's side of the family get surprised at all my gay friends that came. There were also people from PFLAG there who were having an entire conversation using the G-word. Poor grandma must've freaked out.
This being my first column in a while, I suppose I ought to reacquaint you with everything that's happened in my life besides graduating from high school.
Back towards the middle of March I was chatting in #gaymich on IRC and this kid started talking to me. His name was Jeff, and he was 18 just like me. He lived 2.5 hours away on the other side of the state, so I didn't really pay much attention at first. We gradually formed a friendship and eventually started to fall in love. We met for the first time while I was on spring break the first week of April, and I completely fell for him.
During the next few months we saw each other intermittently, with either him driving here or me driving over there. I didn't take him to prom but we went to an after-prom party together with bunch of my friends. He's a roller coaster freak, and I love them as well, so we went to Cedar Point for the weekend once. I was never really sure how it would turn out, Jeff being so far away from me. Just when we couldn't stand being alone any longer, a bad situation turned out for the best.
Jeff's mother was moving to Minnesota, and his brother was taking over the mortgage on the house. One night they got into a big fight and his brother kicked him out. His mother, not having much say, tried to keep the peace but Jeff had had it. During the next few days he decided he was going to move to Grand Rapids.
I told my mom about the whole thing, wondering if she knew how to help. She had met Jeff and really liked him, as had most of my friends here. Mom said it was okay for Jeff to move in here, the plan being that he would stay in our basement when it was done being finished off and then eventually get his own apartment once he got settled.
So I got a graduation present: My boyfriend moving in just before. He helped out with my open house, and it was great having him here for both graduation and my party. This month that he's been here so far has been wonderful, although we still have family problems and financial difficulties he's doing what he can to help out. Unfortunately I took an office job during the day and I still work at Meijer in the evening so I don't get to spend much time with him until the end of the week. But we see each other every night and I'm finally happy now that I've found someone to love and share my life with. I owe a lot of it to my mother, and I'm extremely grateful that she's so accepting. A lot of my gay friends are totally jealous -- imagine what their parents would have done if they wanted their boyfriends to move in!
This whole experience has strengthened my hope and belief that when things are bad, they'll get better. Just last year I was alone and depressed because I had no one to love me. Now I'm moving on with my life and I've got someone who I want in it forever. I've got a reason to live.
See you all next month!

After playing second fiddle to McLaren team mate Lewis Hamilton for much of 2008, Heikki Kovalainen has his best chance yet of a maiden Formula One win on Sunday, following his spectacular qualifying performance at Silverstone.
However, with changeable weather predicted, the grid for the British Grand Prix may yet prove academic. After three sessions of qualifying in which rain spots and heavy crosswinds played significant roles, this is how it was formed
Heikki Kovalainen, 1m 21.049s, P1
Lewis Hamilton, 1m 21.835, P4
McLaren had the pace to get both cars on to the front row, but first and fourth places still make them statistically the team that starts with the strongest chances. Kovalainen reported his MP4-23 to be all over the place on his first run in Q3 thanks to the crosswind, but put a sweet lap together on his second run to take the first pole of his F1 career. Hamilton went off the road at Priory on his first run, and admitted that he was more cautious through there on his second try. Some of the gap between them may be explained by respective fuel loads, but the truth is that the Finn has been very hooked up all weekend. Will this be his big breakthrough?
Red Bull
Mark Webber, 1m 21.554s, P2
David Coulthard, 1m 20.174s, P11
Everybody was surprised to see Webber plant his Red Bull RB4 second on the grid, even the Australian himself. This is almost certainly the car in the top four with the lightest fuel load, but it was still a good performance that bodes well for a strong race from this emergent team. Coulthard was disappointed with 11th, and blamed the engine oil leak that lost him valuable track time to finish setting up the car in the morning.
Kimi Raikkonen, 1m 21.706s, P3
Felipe Massa, 1m 23.305s, P9
Raikkonen was much happier with his Ferrari than he was on Friday, but still felt that it was not as good as it had been in the previous weeks test due to changes in the track conditions. He is one driver for sure desperate to know the fuel loads of his immediate rivals. Massa looked good all through practice, but suffered a problem with the right rear wheel nut on his Ferrari during his final tyre change, and never made it out for his second run.
BMW Sauber
Nick Heidfeld, 1m 21.873s, P5
Robert Kubica, No time, P10
BMW Sauber were another team damned by ill fortune towards the end of Q3, when Kubicas car suffered a mechanical problem at the rear which kept him in the pits when everyone else was doing their second runs. Heidfeld, however, was back to his old self with a strong run to fifth place, having run Kubica very close in Q2 when the F1.08s picked up a serious amount of pace.
Fernando Alonso, 1m 22.029s, P6
Nelson Piquet, 1m 22.491s, P7
Alonso said his sixth place was a satisfying result for Renault in the changing track conditions, and looks forward to a strong finish. Piquet was also pleased with his best qualifying performance in taking seventh, on his illustrious team mates tail. He was happy with his R28.
Toro Rosso
Sebastian Vettel, 1m 23.251, P8
Sebastien Bourdais, 1m 20.531s, P13
Vettel has looked good all weekend, and eighth on the grid showed that Toro Rosso are really getting to grips with their STR3. He was really happy with its balance and thus able to really lean on it in the fast stuff. Bourdais did a great job to leap to sixth place after the rain shower in Q1, and was relatively happy with the compromise set-up his crew arrived at on his car after struggling throughout practice. But he admitted that qualifying 13th was not satisfying.
Timo Glock, 1m 20.274s, P12
Jarno Trulli, 1m 20.601s, P14
After Magny-Cours, Toyota came down to earth with a bump at Silverstone. Glock said he was mystified why things didnt work out better than 12th place for him, while Trulli continued to struggle to get his TF108 decently balanced.
Kazuki Nakajima, 1m 21.112s, P15
Nico Rosberg, 1m 21.668s, P18
Williams were in trouble again on their home track. Nakajima got through to Q2 while struggling for grip, but Rosberg was a faller in Q1 as he blamed the way his FW30 jumped around all over the place in the corners.
Rubens Barrichello, 1m 21.512s, P16
Jenson Button, 1m 21.631s, P17
Barrichello admitted honestly that 16th and 17th places were a reflection of Hondas potential on such a quick track, and both he and Button were unfortunate that their final Q1 runs came just as the rain fell. Resultant lack of tyre temperature killed their slim chances of making it through to Q2.
Force ndia
Adrian Sutil, 1m 21.786s, P19
Giancarlo Fisichella, 1m 21.885s, P20
Sutil and Fisichella were encouraged by how close they got to the Hondas, but the former struggled with graining front tyres. Fisichella had a problem with his VJM01s engine cover, and his chances of going quicker were frustrated when he spun in the complex on his final Q1 run.

Microsoft's CodePlex Foundation Announces Board
Among the prominent new appointees to the open source foundation from Redmond are Jim Jagielski of VMware and Apache fame. Promoted from within Microsoft are two other board members.
An immediate new addition to the permanent board members of the CodePlex Foundation founded by Microsoft is Jim Jagielski, chief architect at SpringSource, now a division of VMware. Jagielski is also on the board of the Apache Software Foundation, which a year ago celebrated its tenth anniversary, and an advisory board member of the Open Source Software Institute (OSSI).
The three other board membes are Sam Ramji, Tony Hey and Stephanie Davies Boesch. Sam Ramji had been senior director of platform strategy at Microsoft before taking on his new role in September 2009 as vice president of Sonoa Systems, a California company specializing in API analytics for cloud computing. Tony Hey is corporate VP of external research at Microsoft. He is by his own accounts primarily a researcher and a founder of the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII-UK) that supports academic open source projects for the UK e-Research community.
Stephanie Davies Boesch as the second Microsoft insider is the director of program management of the .NET framework, which is the only project having found any acceptance so far in the CodePlex Foundation, as a glance at a recent foundation webpage reveals. The four new permanent board members replace other members who presided at the founding in September, 2009.
The CodePlex board actually consists of five members. The fifth seat remains open while being discussed with interested corporate sponsors. It could be a tie-breaker, though, for what is now an even balance of Microsoft and non-Microsoft votes.

The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. (August 2011) |

Born | 1954 (age 60–61) |

Known for | Take Back The Memorial Keep America Safe |
Board member of

Debra Burlingame (born 1954) is the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was flown into the Pentagon during the September 11 attacks by Al Qaeda terrorists in 2001.
Burlingame moved frequently as a daughter of an active duty member of the United States Air Force. She spent parts of her childhood in California and England.
Burlingame was the inspiration for blogger Robert Shurbet[1] to start Take Back The Memorial, a non-profit group that opposed the International Freedom Center (IFC) being located at the World Trade Center site. She is a former airline flight attendant, lawyer and television producer. Burlingame is also a World Trade Center Memorial Foundation board member. Based upon the efforts of Burlingame and others, Governor of New York George Pataki barred the IFC from being located at the World Trade Center site. As a result the IFC is now abandoned by its sponsors.
The Wall Street Journal has published numerous opinion columns written by Burlingame. A common theme in her writings is the need to remain vigilant against terrorism.
She co-founded Keep America Safe with Elizabeth Cheney.
Surviving relatives of the 9-11 victims were invited to submit their names for a lottery to see who would be invited to attend the hearings and trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four other most senior captives.[2] Six families were to be drawn, at random. Burlingame's name was one of the six chosen.
Alleged anti-Islamic statements[edit]
Burlingame has gone on the record as an outspoken critic of Islam. In 2010, she issued a press release denouncing President Barack Obama's support of the "Ground Zero Mosque." She wrote, "Demolishing a building that was damaged by wreckage from one of the hijacked planes in order to build a mosque and Islamic Center will further energize those who regard it as a ratification of their violent and divinely ordered mission: the spread of shariah law and its subjugation of all free people, including secular Muslims who come to this country fleeing that medieval ideology, which destroys lives and crushes the human spirit." [3]
Burlingame also wrote a letter attacking the Liam Neeson film Non-Stop because the hijacker in the film is a murderous 9/11 family member and military combat veteran and "worse, the flight's quiet hero who comes to the aid of the protagonist, thereby saving the day, is a Muslim doctor." Ms. Burlingame noted that this was ironic, given the fact that the Al Qaeda's leader, Ayman Al Zawahiri, is a doctor, a complete inverse of the roles between victim and victimizer on 9/11.[4] See also, [5]
The National September 11 Memorial and Museum Foundation issued a statement in response to the Council on American Islamic Relations call for Ms. Burlingame to be removed from the foundation's board. It read:
- "The National September 11 Memorial & Museum has the privilege of having a committed board of directors who have brought leadership and diverse perspectives to this project. This board is comprised of 9/11 families, witnesses and survivors. The members are from the business and private sector and beyond," 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels said. "As someone whose brother was killed aboard the plane in the attack on the Pentagon, Debra Burlingame stands as one of the most committed, and her contributions over the years have helped build a special place that honors the memory of the victims, preserves the history of 9/11 and presents the facts of a horrific tragedy. We are honored to have her serve on this board. Debra and all of the board members have been crucial in building a nationally significant institution that will be experienced by the world for years to come."[6]

So you've signed onto Twitter, but how do you use it as a journalist? I've written about this before and offered some suggestions, but I think it needs repeating. I keep hearing journalists say: "But I don't get it."
A co-worker and friend of mine came up with a pretty comprehensive list of how she uses Twitter. I liked it so much, I asked her if I could share it with you. She agreed. I love her list because it's hands-on; it's not theory. She's doing it. Really. And so can you.
So here are nine ways to use Twitter as a journalist, courtesy of Amber Smith, a veteran journalist who writes and blogs about health and fitness for the The Post-Standard in Syracuse, New York. (The words are hers; the commentary in italics and some subheads are mine.) Follow her on Twitter.
- Keep up to speed on breaking news. I "follow" a variety of news organizations, many of which have a health or science focus, which post to Twitter automatically whenever anything is posted on their Web site. This saves me from having to surf all over the Web and check a dozen sites multiple times a day. In addition, many of the other folks I "follow" are news junkies, and they actively "retweet" news they see/hear about. This is in many ways more important than the news feeds because it's what real people are interested in.
- Getting response from readers: I have a "following" of close to 450 people, which is more people than subscribe to my newsletter. I can reach these people virtually immediately, if I'm in search of, say, a pretty salad bar to photograph for a story about making healthy salad par picks, or, say, a gym that offers the new Zumba fitness class. And, depending on the subject, I can count on some replies. It's usually faster than sending e-mail.
- Getting story ideas: I receive news tips/ press releases/ information from followers through "direct messaging," so that I've connected with readers who are comfortable with this type of technology. They're not the same people who pick up a phone, and they're not even necessarily the same people who send e-mail. (The point here is that readers get to decide how to connect with us; rather than the newspaper deciding for them.)
- Promoting her blog: When I post something to my blog, I drive up traffic to my blog by also posting a link (with a clever 140-word introduction or teaser) on Twitter. Sometimes I see health or fitness news items being talked about on Twitter, so I create a post on my blog on the same topic, and then go back to Twitter with a new "tweet" linking to my blog, to drive additional hits to syracuse.com. (She could also check the hot topics on Twitter at search.twitter.com or Twitscoop.)
- Expanding followers: When I get a lull, I go searching for new people to follow on Twitter. Sometimes I look for people who have a connection to (her local community).Other times I look for people with a health or fitness interest. As I increase the number of people I follow, the number of people who follow me, rises, as well. This can boost my blog hits. (People who regularly tweet their blog posts can see significant readership growth from that.)
- Boost newsletter subscriptions. When my newsletter comes out, I tweet a link for people to subscribe on my blog. When I offer a good prize in a contest, I tweet a link to my blog for people to enter.
- Use Twitter to update Facebook status: Every tweet I put on Twitter, along with its link, goes automatically onto my Facebook page. The people I "friend" on Facebook are, by and large, different than those I "follow" on Twitter. (So she's expanding her audience.)
- Crowdsourcing: Periodically, I'll ask the Twitter universe (along with readers of my blog, newsletter AND column in the good old newsprint) for their best tips on, say, staying full when they're dieting. I get responses on Twitter, Facebook, on my blog, and by telephone, showing, I think, of being able to interact in multiple ways.
- Being myself: People on Twitter will rapidly "un-follow" you if they suspect you are only following them in order to promote your "product," in my case, my blog. So, I make certain to throw in tweets about other news and other ordinary mundane events. I also make certain to interact with as many people on Twitter as I have time for. (Twitter is a conversation, not broadcasting.)
How do you use Twitter?

Terps changing affiliation and Scarlet Knights expected to follow
NEW YORK (AP) — Maryland is leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference and joining the Big Ten.
The Terrapins were a charter member of the ACC, which was founded in 1953. University president Wallace D. Loh says membership in the Big Ten will "guarantee the financial sustainability of Maryland athletics for a long, long, long time."
Maryland will become a Big Ten member starting in 2014. Rutgers is expected follow suit by Tuesday, splitting from the Big East and making it an even 14 schools in the Big Ten.
The addition of Maryland extends the Big Ten farther east and south than it ever has been. And it gives the conference a presence in the major media market of Washington. D.C.
The Scarlet Knights give the Big Ten a member in the country's largest media market. Rutgers is in New Brunswick, N.J., about 40 miles south of New York City.
Marlins salary dump to Toronto moves forward
MIAMI (AP) The Miami Marlins finalized their big salary dumping trade that sends All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes (RAY'-uhs) to the Toronto Blue Jays with pitchers Mark Buehrle (BUR'-lee) and Josh Johnson, catcher John Buck and outfielder Emilio Bonifacio (boh-nih-FAH'-see-oh) for seven relatively low-priced players.
The deal was agreed to last week and completed after Commissioner Bud Selig decided not to block it.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs and veteran right-hander Shawn Camp have agreed to a one-year contract.
The 37-year-old right-hander was 3-6 with two saves and a 3.59 ERA over a career-high 80 relief appearances last season.
Camp tied for the major league lead in appearances and ranked fifth in the National League with 77 2-3 relief innings.
Irish and Tide in control of their own fate
NEW YORK (AP) — Taking advantage of losses by Oregon and Kansas State, Notre Dame and Alabama sit 1-2 in the BCS standings as we approach the end of college football's regular season.
The unbeaten Fighting Irish need to beat Southern California on Saturday in Los Angeles to earn their first trip to the BCS title game. The Trojans will be without start quarterback Matt Barkley, who was injured late in Saturday's loss to UCLA that dropped USC out of the AP's Top 25.
Alabama and No. 3 Georgia also have rivalry games Saturday. The Crimson Tide hosts Auburn and the Bulldogs play Georgia Tech at home. If the favorites win, the SEC championship game will be a national semifinal of sorts, with the winner advancing to the BCS title game.
The U self-imposes again
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — The University of Miami is self-imposing a postseason ban for the second straight year in response to a lengthy and ongoing NCAA investigation into the school's compliance practices.
School officials announced the decision shortly before the 6-5 Hurricanes took the field for their first practice for what now is their season-finale at Duke this weekend.
By self-imposing another ban, Miami is hoping to lessen the hit of any looming sanctions that could be handed down by the NCAA. Miami's decision effectively ends the ACC's Coastal Division race; Georgia Tech will play Florida State for the ACC crown and an Orange Bowl berth.
Gagliardi has had enough
UNDATED (AP) — College football's winningest coach is retiring at the age of 86. John Gagliardi (guh-LAHR'-dee) spent 60 years of his 64-year career at Division III St. John's University in Minnesota.
He surpassed Eddie Robinson for the career coaching victories record in 2003 and won four national titles with the Johnnies, who were 5-5 this season. Gagliardi retires with a record of 489-138-11.
Meanwhile, UTEP (YOO'-tehp) coach Mike Price is retiring after a 31-year career notable for two Rose Bowl bids at Washington State and a drinking binge that cost him the Alabama job before he ever coached a game for the Crimson Tide.
Price announced the decision with one game left in his ninth season with the Miners, who are 3-8. He led UTEP to 8-4 records and bowl games his first two years in El Paso but hasn't had a winning record since. Price started at Weber (WEE'-bur) State in 1981 and has a 177-182 career record.
Reed to sit
NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Ravens star safety Ed Reed has been suspended for one game by the NFL for repeated violations of rules prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players.
The 11-year veteran will miss Sunday's game against San Diego. Reed is suspended for three violations of the player safety rules in the past three seasons. The latest came in Sunday night's 13-10 victory over Pittsburgh when he was penalized for unnecessary roughness in the third quarter for a hit to the head of receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Pats lose valuable offensive weapon for a spell
UNDATED (AP) — The Patriots aren't saying anything, but a person familiar with Rob Gronkowski's injury tells the AP that New England's prolific tight end has undergone surgery for a broken forearm.
It's not known how long he'll be out of action but it is almost certain hell miss at least one game for the first time in his three years as a pro.
Gronkowski went to the locker room with the team physician late in Sunday's drubbing of the Colts after blocking on an extra point following the final touchdown of a 59-24 victory. He caught seven passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns before leaving, becoming the first tight end in NFL history with at least 10 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons.
—Broncos coach John Fox says running back Willis McGahee (muh-GAY'-hee) tore a ligament in his right knee Sunday and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. He also says there is no immediate plan to put the 10-year veteran on injured reserve. McGahee has rushed for 731 yards this season.
— Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather is out for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. The news comes one day after his impressive season debut in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Meriweather missed the first nine games with sprained ligaments in his left knee
Clash of division leaders in the City by the Bay
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tonight's NFL matchup is a good one, with NFC North leader Chicago on the road to face NFC West leader San Francisco.
With their starters recovering from concussions suffered last week, both teams will be going with backup quarterbacks. Jason Campbell takes the reins of the Bears offense from Jay Cutler and Colin Kaepernick (KAP'-ur-nihk) will replace Alex Smith under center for the Niners.
Campbell will be making his 71st professional start while Kaepernick makes his debut as an NFL starter.
Don't look for a high-scoring game. San Francisco leads the league in fewest points allowed, followed closely by Chicago. The Bears enter the contest with a 7-2 record, just ahead of 7-3 Green Bay in the division race. The 49ers are 6-2-1 while second-place Seattle sits at 6-4.
Roy to miss more time
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An ominous sign for a player trying to come back from years of chronic knee issues. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Brandon Roy is having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee today.
Roy signed a two-year deal with Minnesota in the offseason after sitting out all of last year. He had injections in his knees over the summer that made them feel much better. But he missed a few days before the start of the regular season with knee soreness and only played five games before shutting down.
NBA-SCHEDULE Grizzlies back on the prowl
UNDATED (AP) — The hottest team in the NBA returns to the court tonight in Memphis chasing a ninth straight win.
The 8-1 Grizzlies will host a 4-6 Denver team that's lost three in a row. And while we're on the topic of losing streaks, the 0-8 Washington Wizards will be chasing their first win of the season against visiting Indiana.
There's a good matchup in San Antonio, where the 8-2 Spurs await a 7-2 L.A. Clippers club that's won five straight. Also this evening, Milwaukee puts a three-game winning streak on the line at Charlotte, Atlanta is home to Orlando, Golden State plays at Dallas and Utah entertains Houston.
Hoosiers remain No. 1
UNDATED (AP) — Indiana is still a runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll and Louisville is again a solid second.
The 3-0 Hoosiers received 46 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. The 5-0 Cardinals picked up the remaining 19 votes for No. 1.
Ohio State and Michigan both move up one place to third and fourth, while Duke, which beat Kentucky, jumps from ninth to fifth. The Wildcats drop five spots to No. 8.
Syracuse and Florida are Nos. 6 and 7. North Carolina and Arizona round out the Top Ten.
No. 20 Oklahoma State and 23rd-ranked Colorado are this week's newcomers, replacing Notre Dame and Wisconsin.
Hoosiers on the road
UNDATED (AP) — Top-ranked Indiana is getting ready for its first real test of the young season. The Hoosiers' game against Georgia at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be their first against a team from a major conference.
Indiana warmed up with easy home wins over Bryant, North Dakota State and Sam Houston State. Georgia lost to Youngstown State and Southern Mississippi after opening the season with a victory over Jacksonville.
No. 13 UCLA will take on Georgetown in the second semifinal of the Legends Classic. Tonight's winners will square off tomorrow night.
In other Top 25 hoops action, No. 7 Kansas and Washington State will play in a tournament in Kansas City, 11th-ranked North Carolina faces Mississippi State at the Maui Classic in Hawaii, No. 12 Arizona hosts Long Beach State, and 23rd-ranked Connecticut bumps up against New Mexico at the Paradise Jam on Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
Changing of the guard in women's hoops
UNDATED (AP) — Stanford is the new No. 1 team in women's college basketball, barely edging Connecticut for the top spot in The Associated Press poll.
The Cardinal jumps from fourth after beating former No. 1 Baylor 71-69 on Friday night, ending the Lady Bears' 42-game winning streak.
Baylor, which was first in the previous 21 polls, falls to third.
Stanford receives 21 first place votes, while Connecticut got 17 and Baylor one.
It's the Cardinal's first time at No. 1 since the final poll of the 2005 season.
NHL-LABOR Where have they been?
NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in eight days, the NHL and the players' association are heading back to the bargaining table to try again to reach a deal that will end the two-month old lockout.
This is the 65th day of a lockout that has already wiped out 327 games and threatens the entire season if a settlement isn't reached soon.
It's the first bargaining session between the sides since Nov. 11, when a busy week of negotiating wrapped up with a session that lasted just over an over and didn't produce any results.

Callie Briggs is the Deputy Mayor of Megakat City and is often the one running it while Mayor Manx is teeing off for another round of golf. She is highly independent, and has proved on more than one occasion that she is quite capable of taking care of herself during a crisis. She is a friend to the SWAT Kats, and alerts them of any trouble happening within the city that they should be aware of.
From Wiki:
Calico "Callie" Briggs (voiced by Tress MacNeille) – Deputy Mayor of Megakat City and the one who does the real work of City Hall. The SWAT Kats' biggest supporter, she has a radio communicator which enables her to call them directly when danger threatens the city. Although she does not know who they are, Callie usually trusts her life to the SWAT Kats if required. In The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats, in a parallel universe she is an evil ally of Dark Kat; in Bride of the Pastmaster her ancestor was Queen of the medieval kingdom of "Megalith City". Though T-Bone has a crush on her, she has a crush on Razor (more evident in the fact that even her ancestor seemed to favor Razor over T-Bone), likewise, she also seems to favor Jake. Her name is a pun on Calico cat breed.
I got a crush on Callie as soon as I started watching the show when it came on, and I still do! She's the sexiest cartoon charachter EVER, in my opinion.
I would really say that Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs is one of the most fantastic heroines of Megakat City like Lieutenant Felina Feral and a great supporter for the world-famous SWAT Kats team: T-Bone and Razor. She has also shown for being a much better leader for the citizens of Megakat City than its own Mayor Manx, and other people also think that Callie is definitely the perfect girlfriend for Razor aka Jake Clawson.
The voice actress of Callie Briggs also voiced for Agnes Skinner from The Simpsons.
You are a nice kat
Hey Callie, do ya' wanna get drink or catch a movie later? I hear The Wolverine will be in theaters soon…..Why're you guys so mad? The movie won't be playing until later this month. So you guys can have your dates before then. And she's in control of what happens afterward.
I still say it should be TBonexCallie RazorxFelina.
I agree, Cyberkat.
But I could also see the opposite possibility with T-bone X Felina and Razor X Callie.
The reason is that the hot-headed fall outs and make-ups between T-bone/Chance and Felina could be very interesting.
Not only is this gal hot. She's also competent at being a mayor. In fact, I think that she should be real mayor of her city and not her boss.
Callie Briggs, I nominate you to become the new mayor!

Does Inktomi now use the same database as Yahoo Search (as All-the-web and AltaVista do) or do they continue to have a separate database?
If they still have a separate database I assume they are still crawling the web separately? Does a submission to Site Match include a submission to both databases?
Any other news?
Is 3 separate search engines with the exact same results considered duplicate content?
If all of these search engines use the same Yahoo index, then how can a site appear in the serps of some of these search engines and not others?
Thank you for your input on this. I recently had several sites removed from the Yahoo index, but they still appear in other listings such as Inktomi, MSN, ect. I am trying to figure out if I have been hit with a penalty of some sort, and if so will it spread to the other directories in time.
Is there any way to confirm why my sites were removed? I can't think of a reason and whatever it is at this stage I just want to know so I can repair what has happened.
Thanks for any help.
Yahoo_Mike, I tried emailing that address some couple of months ago+ but still no reply or difference in my non-listings in Yahoo... What is the average waiting time on a reply?
Thank you for the follow up, it is appreciated. I did send a message there listing the sites on May 4th. No doubt there are quite a few of these messages coming in.
Happily 3 of the 6 sites have reappeared this morning. My main concern is some sort of penalty but perhaps things are just evolving.
I can re-send the message if that would be helpful.
Thank you.
I could really use some help from anyone at Yahoo regarding these sites that are missing. I have sent several messages. As I have maintained, I can't imagine why I would have a penalty on these sites, but if I do, I will take the news like a man without a big fuss and just move forward trying to repair the damage.
The sites that reappeared briefly are gone, and cannot be found in MSN now either.
This is what we do for a living; create consumer information web sites. We take pride in these sites and they support the people I employ. Since this whole thing began I have tried to see it all play out, and take into consideration the enormous changes and expansion Yahoo has been undergoing. I am realistic that there will be bugs, adjustments and new challenges for all. However, this is beginning to take quite a toll on us.
Any word, in any format, good or bad would be appreciated.
Thank you for you time.

Thank you for the kind offer. It is all I can ask.

McDonald's plans to open more than 100 new units in Italy throughout the next 10 years. According to Reuters, the market is a priority for the Golden Arches because it has been stuck in a recession and the expansion will help spur job growth.
McDonald's plans to invest about $457 million for its Italy footprint and hire about 3,000 new employees by 2015.
McDonald's made its debut in Italy in 1986. There are currently 450 units in the country.
McDonald's Italia CEO Roberto Masi told Reuters that the company will localize its fare as it grows in the market, including offering sandwiches with Parmesan cheese-stuffed bread and sliced ham.
"McDonald's considers the euro zone debt crisis as something temporary," Masi said. "The company lumps Italy together with the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, China and India), the ones where it will grow more in the next 10 years."
The company has launched an ad campaign to warm Italians up to its expansion plans. Still, critics of the plan have expressed concern about compromising the region's traditional cuisine.

Perhaps this is an option for now, if you are using a brushless motor.

If you can keep the total current under an Amp you could try one of these. 1S to the motor, everything else at 5V off the converter.

There are so many variables. I have never had two plane that fly exactly the same even if they were the same with same equipment and same transmitter settings.
Some have posted that using Expo on the transmitter makes the Guardian 2D/3D respond strangely. Perhaps if you listed the aircraft, servos,and all of your Guardian and Transmitter setting someone could help explain what is going own. To me 2D is just a mode to be used for training new pilots and perhaps as a emergency recovery mode if you really get disorientated. You can set Center Stick Stabilize Only Mode so 2D Stabilization is disabled unless stick is close to ceter depending on the Box Size you set. Charles |

It's really nice on an fpv rig to run the self center mode. set it at 10 feet off the ground and you don't gotta constantly guess what it's doing. my planes controll surfaces are kinda big for this 15-20 mph wind, but a 28 gram Telink Multifun with the guardian, took her out a mile and got too low behind something, lost rc, then got it back but all i could see was tree so shut it down and went lookin. epp is the best invention just after the guardian
that was the 4th flight of it's life. once i got that weird mode setup, it's alot less stressful and alot more fun. i hung it like an ornament 5 feet from the road a mile away This plane would be unflyable fpv without it. Thanks Bill, your stuff rocks no matter what they say about ya..... hahaha |
Sep 03, 2012, 02:45 PM | |
ok guys looks like a lot of you now what you are doing with this little thing
I'm having problems with it *1 when it comes on it just blinks like it is on 2D mode and does not change to 3D when I flip the switch ( When I physically move the plane the ailerons and elevator opposing the movement) *2 the aileron and elevator are change (if I move aileron stick the elevator responds and if I move the elevator the ailerons responds *3 the rudder is not going through it ( there is no response from the rudder to the stick movement I have check the connections plenty of times and everything is connected according to the manual and video I'm powering the guardian through the AUX channel from channel 9 on my receiver (option number 1 on the manual when the build in Ubec on the ESC is to small) I have a 6v Ubec I hope you can help me |
Sep 03, 2012, 03:27 PM | |
ok after closer inspection looks like some body mix all labels the gain was sitch with the mod and the elevator with the ailerons
so now I have proper control over the guardian but the rudder still not coming through although I can see clearly that the guardian has control over it because when I move the plane the rudder oppose the movement but I just can't control it with the stick |

Yaw the fuselage to the left (not roll), the Guardian will raise the right aileron, drop the left one to produce a roll to the right to get back to original heading. This explains how if you wave it about, and the fuselage is not pointing in the original direction you started with, the ailerons will be deflected as it it trying to centre it back on the last recorded heading. |

When you plug the rudder servo directly to your receiver's rudder output does it work ok? Do you have a PC that you can connect your Guardian to? Use the software to check the settings on the Guardian. It just does not sound right that the labels are put on incorrectly. It is possible I guess, but this is the first I've heard of this. Was this a used Guardian? If not which vendor did you buy it from? Anyhow, with the labels on incorrectly who knows what else maybe out of wack with this unit as far as the software settings go. It's best to view them on the PC, or go thru the manual way of checking/setting them via the TX control stick and the control surface responses. Also check to make sure the channel your using for your mode switch has full travel on your TX (assuming it is a 3 position switch). If it is a 2 position switch I think you have to choose 2 of the 3 modes based on the travel settings on the channel. |
