Bill Clinton
Another Reason Why Hillary Can't Win
Steve noted earlier tonight a little-noticed exchange with an ABC reporter who was assigned to follow Hillary Clinton, which suggested one reason why Hillary's 2016 campaign may be doomed. Here is another one: her relationship with Bill–the only reason anyone has heard of her in the first place–can't withstand the light of day. The email controversy that came came to light today is a problem for Hillary, for obvious reasons. »
Will the Clintons' Greed Do Them In?
It has long been remarked that a certain Dogpatch air hangs over Bill and Hillary Clinton. They have, apparently, led separate lives for quite a few years, but one quality that they share is greed. Indeed, they seem unable to restrain that grasping instinct even when it undermines their presumably more important goals–as, for example, when Hillary extracts $300,000 from universities for 45 minutes of platitudes. Tomorrow's Washington Post reports »
Will Bill Clinton's Past Doom Hillary's Future?
Gawker has obtained flight logbooks for disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's airplane, the "Lolita Express." They disclose what appears to be a close relationship between Epstein and Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton took repeated trips on the "Lolita Express"—the private passenger jet owned by billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—with an actress in softcore porn movies whose name appears in Epstein's address book under an entry for "massages," according to flight logbooks obtained by »
Blast from the (Democratic) Past
Sen. Joni Ernst is getting mixed reviews for her delivery of the GOP response to Obama's State of the Union speech. I thought she did fine with an awful format. I actually think the party might want to skip making a response, but we can have that discussion later. But if you're in the camp that is critical of Ernst, you should see the Democratic response to Reagan in 1985, »
Could Jeffrey Epstein Doom Hillary's Presidential Hopes?
Sex scandals tend not to be on my radar screen, so maybe that's why I missed the Jeffrey Epstein story entirely. For those who–like me, until yesterday–are entirely unaware of Mr. Epstein, here is a brief recap: Epstein grew up in New York, started out as a teacher, went to work for Bear Sterns and later founded his own investment firm. He appears to have been something of a financial »

On September 10, 2001, Clinton Explained Why He Didn't Kill bin Laden
An extraordinary historical nugget has been unearthed in Australia. In September 2001, Bill Clinton was in that country. Only hours before the terrorists struck the World Trade Center, Clinton was talking to a group in Melbourne. Terrorism and bin Laden came up in that discussion, and Clinton said that he had had an opportunity to kill bin Laden when the terrorist was in Kandahar, but he had decided not to »
That's no gentleman; that's Bill Clinton
The front page of the print edition of the Washington Post's "Style" section — once known as the Women's Page — features a mock poster that says "Bill Clinton for First Gentleman." In the accompanying story, Clinton insists, presumably with a straight face, that he is "just a bit player" in the run-up to his wife's likely campaign for president. "I am a foot soldier in any army; I will »
Birth of the VRWC
Politico draws attention to the release yesterday in the latest tranche of papers from the Clinton library of what it refers to as the conspiracy commerce memo." The memo appears to be undated; Politico assigns it to 1995, contemporaneous with the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton but predating the Lewinsky affair. It was at the outset of the disclosure of the Lewinksy affair that Hillary attributed the »
Will Bill Clinton Be an Issue In 2016? [Updated]
As so often happens these days, it was Rand Paul who first raised the subject. Or, rather, his wife did. Senator Paul was a guest on Meet the Press when host David Gregory asked him to comment on an interview in Vogue in which Kelley Paul said, "Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky should complicate his return to the White House, even as first spouse. I would say his behavior »
It's Always the Nazis
There's an old trope that the only safe bad guys in Hollywood any more are the Nazis. Any other group of bad guys has an advocacy group that will raise a ruckus, or Hollywood is worried about offending the all important overseas market for film distribution. (Hence the film adaptation of World War Z changed the bad guys from the Chinese to some mysterious source in Russia.) It is doubtful »
The Clinton Foundation's man in Cairo was also the Muslim Brotherhood's
The Washington Free Beacon reports that a senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until fairly recently, was employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation, was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence. The official, Gehad el-Haddad, had been serving as one of the Muslim Brotherhood's top communications officials. In that capacity, while the Muslim Brotherhood controlled Egypt, he "push[ed] the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamist agenda in the foreign press, »
Hillary Clinton and North African riots
Years ago, I read that the first movie Bill Clinton took Hillary to see when they were dating was The Battle of Algiers. If so, Bill made a shrewd choice. The Battle of Algiers was a cult classic among leftists of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its final scene depicting Algerians rioting against the French is so realistic and intense that, as a film critic for the New Yorker »
Dowd's Stopped Clock Gets It Right
You know the old saying about how even stopped clocks are right twice a day. The New York Times op-ed columnist version of this would be that one of the Krugman-Friedman-Collins-Dowd foursome will get something right about once a year. (I'll take once a decade from Friedman or Krugman.) Today is Maureen Dowd's turn to get something right, reminding us of why she was a popular political news journalist before »

Joy - Meaning of Joy |
[ 1 syll. joy, jo-y ] The baby girl name Joy is pronounced JH-oy †. Joy's language of origin is English and Spanish. It is predominantly used in the English, German, and Spanish languages. English origin, English and German use: It is derived from joy ; joie meaning 'joy' ; gaudia 'joy'. The first name is from the ordinary English word, which is from the Old French joie, itself of the Late Latin gaudia. The name was first used in 12th century England, but was only widespread in the 17th century, especially among English Puritans who associated the name with the joy of the Christian faith. Modern usage of the name is usually associated with the joy of having a newborn, or wishing joy for the newborn.
In addition, Joy is a variant transcription of Joyita (English and Spanish).
The name Joy is widely used; it has 27 variant transcriptions that are used in English and foreign languages. Variation transcriptions of the name used in English include Gioia, Gioya, Jioia, Jioya, Joia, Joice, Joya (used in Romanian as well), Joyan, Joyann, Joyanna, Joyanne, Joyeeta, Joyela, Joyella, Joyelle, Joyia, Joyleen, Joylene, Joylin, Joylyn, Joyous, and Joyvina. The familiar form Joyetta, and the variant spellings Joi, Joie, and Joye are other English forms. Joyke (Dutch) is a variant transcription of Joy that is in foreign languages.
See also the related form, Jocacia.
Joy is an all-time favorite. Currently it is still a rather popular baby girl name, but not as much as it was before. At the modest peak of its usage in 1975, 0.148% of baby girls were given the name Joy. It was #123 in rank then. The baby name has steeply declined in popularity since then, and in recent years it is of only infrequent use. In 2012, it ranked at #498 with a usage of 0.032%, but it was nonetheless the most regularly used out of all girl names in its family. There were times from 1922 to 1926 when more boys than girls were named Joy, but currently it is more often than not a girl name. In 1937, 28 times as many girls than boys were given the name Joy.
Baby names that sound like Joy include Joi, Joye, Jaasau, Jack, Jae, Jah, Jay, Jayah, Jaye, Jes, Jessa, Jessah, Jessé, Jessie, Jessy, Jeyz, Jez, Jezz, Jie, and Jo.
† Pronunciation for Joy: JH as in "joy (JH.OY)" ; OY as in "toy (T.OY)"

See fewer displaced abomasums by including fiber feeds
More About:
Using grasses to help keep transition cows' rumens filled may be a low-cost, viable option for reducing the number of displaced abomasums (DAs) in a herd, suggests Randy Shaver, University of Wisconsin dairy scientist.
Some dairymen have followed a relatively new trend of adding wheat straw to dry-cow and prefresh diets and dry hay or even small amounts of straw for fresh cow groups "just to maintain adequate rumen fill and effective fiber and control rate of passage," Shaver says.
"But, also, there is quite a bit of interest in using grasses in some of the rations or even mixed legume-grass stands. Grasses are a little higher in NDF (than alfalfa), so give more fiber. They also tend to process a little bit coarser than alfalfa and can stimulate rumination activity and increase rumen fill," he explains.
Displaced abomasums usually appear in transition cows, when they've reduced their intake around calving time or have milk fever or ketosis.
"Just simply feeding a higher forage diet helps minimize a lot of these digestive disorders, including DAs, to the extent that we're improving forage quality, fiber digestibility and increasing the amount of forage in the diet. That should help cows transition better into the high-group diet and minimize DAs, claw-feet problems, acidosis, those sorts of things," the dairy scientist says.
Feeding straw also helps fill the rumen and increase intake. "But straw is very low in energy, which is okay for dry cows. As we get into peak lactation cows, you don't necessarily want to be cutting the energy.
Shaver's colleague, University of Wisconsin dairy scientist Dave Combs, has been studying the effect of adding high-quality grasses to the diets of high-producing milkers, replacing some corn silage and possibly a bit of alfalfa.
Combs has so far found that grasses tone down energy and boost fiber in hot corn silage-alfalfa rations that can cause lameness.
"The ability to incorporate high-quality grasses in rations may allow us to get more effective fiber and improve rumen health, maybe prevent DAs and acidosis without having to deal with wheat straw and its cost and some of the challenges of mixing," Shaver says.
Cows may tend to sort out straw, so producers are adding water or finding other methods to keep them from doing so, he says. "If cows are not eating stems and are eating more concentrates, those individual cows may be more prone to DAs."
Producers and researchers have also been proactive in trying to reduce the number of DAs in herds by maintaining adequate particle lengths, he adds.
"There's been a lot of work done with chop length of forages, both hay crop and corn silage, and one of the main benefits of that is rumen health and, ultimately, minimizing DAs."
Chopping corn silage at ¾" theoretical length of cut and haylage at 3/8-½" is recommended. "For preventing DAs, ensure that you allow for high intakes of dry matter, that there's plenty of forage in the diet and that the forage is not too finely chopped so you have a high rumen fill during the transition period," he recommends.

Cruise tip: Make 100% certain that you attend the sailaway party on your departure from Cape Town, as it offers the magnificent backdrop of Table Mountain.
Here's the view you can expect when cruising to Cape Town:
If your ship is in Table Bay at dawn, this is the view you can enjoy as you sail from Cape Town:
19th January 2015: The MSC Opera is unable to enter the port of Cape Town, due to strong winds.
17th March 2014: The MSC Sinfonia sails from Cape Town for the last time, on her way to Genoa. She is not returning to South Africa's shores for the 2014/2015 cruise season, instead she's heading to the dry dock to be stretched and have 200 cabins added.
28 Feb 2014: With only a few weeks left before the Sinfonia leaves the Cape waters to go back to Italy, people are still trying to find cabins onboard this old favourite. There are still some open spots. Pop us a mail or fill in the form above to enquire.
27 Jan 2014 : The Queen Mary 2 arrives in Cape Town in the morning, docking at the Eastern Mole. It's great that she's here, but a pity that she couldn't dock at the V&A Waterfront. No surprise that Alan Winde (toursim MEC for the Western Cape) said that he was hoping that construction on Cape Town's dedicated terminal begins this year. The Queen Mary 2 leaves Cape Town for Durban on Wednesday the 29th January 2014.
17 March 2014. The MSC Sinfonia embarks on her last cruise from Cape Town, a repositioning cruise to Genoa, Italy. For the 2014/2015 season, MSC Cruises are sending only the MSC Opera to Cape Town's waters.
11 November 2013. The MSC Opera arrives in Cape Town to being the 2013/2014 South African cruise season.
December 2012. It's reported that the Transnet National Port Authority will, in 2013, proceed with a "request for proposals" to build a permanent cruise liner terminal at E-Berth in Cape Town harbour.
7 March 2011 The last time the MSC Melody sailed from CT
March 2012 South Africa's Department of Home Affairs moves aheads with its January directive to stop cruise ships from docking at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. "For twenty years, security and immigration procedures have been managed without incident at Jetty Two. Out of nowhere, Home Affairs suddenly enforced a ban without an alternative tourist-friendly facility within the port. Tourists now have to dock amongst containers at a cold storage yard. This is no way to receive guests to our province." says Alan Winde, Western Cape Minister of Economic Development & Tourism. Tariq Mellet, Director: Immigration Services, Western Cape, says that "There has been no recent decision to ban anything. A long-standing problem of non-compliance with the Immigration Act required the department to take steps in November to ensure compliance."
2 Feb 2014 "We've recently returned from a fantastic holiday / cruise on the MSC Sinfonia – we were on the ship for a 3 night cruise, 17 to 20 January 2014 to Mossel Bay and enjoyed every minute. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the crew and they were so helpful with everything. The entertainment as well as the food were great, it was very relaxing and everything was awesome including the lovely restaurants and shops. There was lots to do including the club, sauna and gym and we thoroughly enjoyed it all! Hoping to return later in the year or next year for the 5 night cruise.......Can't wait!" Jayne Rayner
2013. Amanda wrote a review of her CT to Durban cruise, which she did with the rest of her family. She recommends taking an official excursion into PE, booking an outside cabin and not to be put off by the pricing in US Dollars.
2013. Catharina sails from CT to St Helena Island : "We were amazed at the rich history the island has and the tourist highlights we managed to see in the short time we had available."
P&O Cruises offers cruises from Singapore to the Cape.
Key an eye out in the harbour for the tugs & pilot boats. Always interesting to watch them bend into the wind & the waves crash onto their decks, as their brave crew assist ships in and out of the harbour
Whereever in the world you may be, SouthAfrica.TO are at the ready to book a cruise from Cape Town for you.
A CT travel agent wrote to tell us : "My client told me that many passengers disembarked in Cape Town and went straight to the airport to fly out again – without spending any time here at all! There was a small group that was spending just the day here and flying out in the evening. This is very strange." So if you're on a flight to Cape Town for the cruise, do spend some time touring around the city, or else you're missing out on half the adventure - see our CT day trips page, if you're short of ideas.
Cruise ships generally dock at E-Berth in Duncan Dock (see map below). There is parking in the vicinity, although it gets pretty full on the day of a cruise, so you are advised to arrive early.
The Transnet National Ports Authority has budgeted R3billion to build a new passenger terminal in 2014, which is better located. On the 23rd September 2013 the Chief Executive of the Waterfront, David Green, said that they are preparing a bid for the new Cape Town cruise terminal to be at the Waterfront - they're submitting their bid in October 2013, after which the Transnet Ports Authority will spend 5 months deciding which bid to go with. The Waterfront believe they can increase their contribution to South Africa's GDP by 51% if they're allowed to develop a cruise terminal at the Waterfront.
The Port of Cape Town is situated in Table Bay and is managed by the Transnet National Port Authority. The port manages the most fresh fruit in South Africa. It has an impressive backdrop of Table Mountain and the Cape Town city, and part of it forms the Cape Town Waterfront, a major tourist attraction. There are some impressive hotels in the harbour area, like the nearby Cape Grace (the closest hotel to E-Berth), and these are well worth a visit before or after your cruise. Because of the strong south-easterly win in summer months, the harbour is sometimes closed to ships entering and exiting - which poses obvious challenges to passenger liners. The port is also home to the Royal Cape Yacht Club.
The establishment of the harbour in Cape Town dates back to the 6th April 1652 Jan van Riebeeck & co arrived in Cape Town to set up a resupply station for ships travelling from Europe to the East. In 1882 the Robinson Dry Dock was completed, and is today the oldest functioning dry dock worldwide.
"Welcome to the bottom of this article :) We hope you found it informative, and now have enough information to book your cruise from Cape Town.

In the opening moments of The Workshop, director Jamie Morgan announces that he's "ready to make some changes in his life." So he flies halfway around the world, from London to San Francisco, to attend a 10-day workshop lead by spiritual leader Paul Lowe, and he brings a video camera. Leader Lowe is a white-haired teacher who promotes mind-expanding, heart-opening and soul-searching meditation-including the possible existence of aliens. As part of therapy, Lowe encourages these acolytes to shed not just "previous selves" and inhibitions, but their pants. Everyone very actively participates in the communal search for meaning, which includes nocturnal orgies. The breakdown of convention is a wild ride, as Morgan chronicles love triangles, couples struggling with monogamy and a gay man having sex with a woman for the first time-all on camera. Jealousy, both emotional and physical, erupts within the flock. It's an amusing and emotional adventure in sex, love, betrayal, fear and joy until the workshop ends. One year later, Morgan visits a handful of participants tos ee how deeply Camp Lowe affected them, revealing that there may be more relevance to spending 10 days crying, screwing and listening to possible aliens than we might have expected.
JAMIE MORGAN began his career as a photographer and rose to notoriety as one of the founding members of the '80s London based creative collective called Buffalo. The group's radical mix of street fashion and haute couture changed the nature of image making through its pioneering work in The Face magazine. Morgan continued to work in photography, shooting album covers for rock stars, such as Culture Club, Sade and Neneh Cherry. He also worked on campaigns for Levi's and Comme des Garcons. Eventually turning to filmmaking, Morgan began directing music videos, including the Bush hit "Swallowed." He's also helmed several short films, one of which was a documentary on artist Andy Goldsworthy. The Workshop is Morgan's debut feature film.

8 Plants That Are Poisonous to Cats and Dogs
Many common plants, both in the house and the yard, can be toxic to our pets, including some that can still be found this time of year, either because they are being brought in from outside or because they are popular in holiday displays or decorations. Some toxic plants only cause mild stomach upset, while others can be poisonous. To make things even more confusing, some plants are safe for some species while deadly for others. As a pet owner, it is important that you be familiar with the most dangerous of the toxic plants.
See your veterinarian immediately if you suspect that your pet has ingested any of these highly toxic plants!

Maritime plans will end centuries of sealife decline
Hundreds of years of steady decline in Scotland's seas could be reversed if new plans outlined by the Scottish government are implemented.
Environment campaigners have welcomed the proposals contained in a new maritime consultation process.
The plan calls for a series of inshore and offshore protected areas for sealife.
It will give fish, corals and sponges a chance to return to better health.
In addition, the initiative will provide a guide for the development of the offshore renewable energy industry in Scotland.
Under the plans, there will be a scheme to establish a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
'Prized asset'These are aimed at promoting sustainable development at sea extending to 200 nautical miles and increase protection for the country's iconic marine species and habitats.
They will manage the ecological health of Scotland's seas that have suffered from centuries of pollution, overfishing and damage to the seabed.
The joint consultation covers three areas:
• Scotland's first National Marine Plan which will provide a single framework to manage all activity in Scottish waters. This will provide clarity to developers and decision makers on Scotland's priorities for sustainable use of the sea
• Proposals for a network of new Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) which if designated would increase protection for Scotland's iconic marine species and habitats
• Draft sectorial marine plans which will guide development of a sustainable and successful offshore renewable energy industry in Scotland
Launching the 16-week process, Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "Scotland's seas are fundamental to our way of life. They are a vast and vital natural resource which provide energy, food and recreation. We must protect and enhance our marine environment so that it remains a prized asset for future generations."
Calum Duncan, of the Marine Conservation Society and convenor of Scottish Environment Link's Save Scottish Seas campaign, backed the programme.
He said: "These proposals represent a historic opportunity for us to manage the marine environment in a new way that benefits both our amazing sealife and our communities that rely upon it.
"For centuries many marine species and habitats have been in decline. These MPAs are urgently needed to improve the health of our seas."
Bertie Armstrong, chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, said: "The consultations must be the first part of the development of a sensible balance between marine conservation, energy production and the essential requirement to secure and protect a viable fishing industry that will ensure the future of our coastal communities and the continuing provision of a sustainable source of food."
Iconic seabirdsSam Gardner, head of policy at WWF Scotland, said: "These plans are as much about managing ourselves as they are about managing our environment."
But RSPB Scotland warned the plans would "do nothing" for the majority of Scotland's seabirds.
Lloyd Austin, the charity's head of conservation policy, said: "We welcome this opportunity to put our full support behind MPAs. However, the Scottish government has missed a great opportunity to do something positive for seabirds.
"RSPB Scotland and its supporters are calling on the Scottish government to designate MPAs for seabirds at sea. Government must do all it can to protect Scotland's iconic seabirds, before it is too late."
Sarah Dolman, North Atlantic programme manager for Whale and Dolphin Conservation, also expressed concerns. She said: "We are disappointed whales and dolphins are not included in the current round of site proposals so some urgently-needed ecological protection is still missing."

NEW: Pink Petals Press
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
A new romance imprint of Mary K. Wilson's Jupiter Gardens (opened 2007). Take a look. Opening in October 2008 and seeking submissions in most romance genres: "Our books focus primarily on the relationship between the characters (regardless of gender or number) and each story is unique to the characters and the journey they make to finding love and happiness." Based on first impression, for a new press I think they look promising.

The I/Q mismatches in quadrature radio receivers results in finite and usually insufficient image rejection, degrading the performance greatly. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of the Blind-Source Separation (BSS) based mismatch corrector in terms of its structure, convergence and performance. The results indicate that the mismatch can be effectively compensated during the normal operation as well as in the rapidly changing environments. Since the compensation is carried out before any modulation specific processing, the proposed method works with all standard modulation formats and is amenable to low-power implementations.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) accounts for one of the few known forms of reversible dementia. Varied aetiology and clinical presentation contribute to difficulties with early or differential diagnoses, and delayed surgical treatment may be less efficacious. Clinical neuropsychology provides a means of determining a cognitive profile for NPH, assisting in differential diagnosis, tracking the disorder's progression and assessing the efficacy of treatment. This article will review possible applications of clinical neuropsychology and propose a clinical assessment protocol for NPH.

Longevity Determined by Paternal Ancestors' Nutrition during Their Slow Growth Period

Social circumstances often impinge on later generations in a socio-economic manner, giving children an uneven start in life. Overfeeding and overeating might not be an exception. The pathways might be complex but one direct mechanism could be genomic imprinting and loss of imprinting. An intergenerational "feedforward" control loop has been proposed, that links grandparental nutrition with the grandchild's growth. The mechanism has been speculated to be a specific response, e.g. to their nutritional state, directly modifying the setting of the gametic imprint on one or more genes. This study raises the question: Can overnutrition during a child's slow growth period trigger such direct mechanisms and partly determine mortality?
Data were collected by following-up a cohort born in 1905 in Överkalix parish, northernmost Sweden. The probands were characterised by their parents' or grandparents' access to food during their own slow growth period. Availability of food in the area was defined by referring to historical data on harvests and food prices, records of local community meetings and general historical facts.
If there was a surfeit of food in the environment when the paternal grandfather was a 9–12 year old boy a shortening of the proband survival could be demonstrated. The influence of parents', maternal grandparents' and paternal grandmothers' access to food during their slow growth period was discounted in a multivariable analysis. The results are indicative of very early programming mechanisms in human adaptation to the social environment.

text: If you cancel for a reason other than an emergency, you must notify the Shadow Program contact person 72 hours before the scheduled event. After 72 hours, you may only cancel for genuine emergencies (e.g. illness, you have to travel out of state unexpectedly). The reason for this 72 hour program rule is because there are very limited slots available for scheduled events and the important need for participating firms and judicial chambers to accurately know who will be attending.

There is a big difference between "can't" and "won't"
glad you liked my post enough to share this too!
I love that you posted this. I agree with you whole-heartedly! (Just only came to the realization in the last few months.)
This is very similar to my other favorite motivational quote:
There IS a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient.
When you are committed to doing something, you accept NO excuses, only results. Anonymous
So true.
Absolutely, and my personal favorite "Make it Happen!". Thanks for stopping by.

Fracking study years away from conclusions
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A health study cited by leading environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as pivotal in helping persuade Gov. Andrew Cuomo to hold off on plans for a limited fracking pilot program is likely years away from conclusions about whether the shale gas-drilling technology is safe. Andy Deubler, an executive vice president at Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania, says the study is still in early planning stages with only a fraction of its necessary funding. He says it's just one piece of a larger body of independent research just getting under way and seeking funding. Follow

Fight leads police to drugs in Columbia County
BLOOMSBURG — A Danville woman and Millville man are behind bars today after a fight led police to a large stash of drugs. State police responded to a home on Boyer Bottom Road in Greenwood Township, Columbia County on Saturday for a report of a fight in progress. They found 24-year-old Michelle Kreski and 27-year-old Karl Greenburgh had been fighting and both sustained injuries. Both Kreski and Greenburgh fled the residence when troopers arrived, leading police on a foot pursuit. Greenburgh was found to be in possession of heroin, 14 Xanax pills and a Suboxone patch.

Legislature talking liquor on Monday in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG — State representatives head to work on Monday in Harrisburg, ready to discuss whether or not to privatize Pennsylvania's liquor system. Governor Tom Corbett and some House Republicans are pushing forward with a plan to make it happen, but the proposal is facing opposition from both Democrats and Republicans. The Governor's plan would auction off 1,200 liquor licenses across the state and beer and wine would be available in pharmacies and grocery stores. Convenience stores would also be able to seel beer. Box stores and beer distributors will be able to sell both beer and wine and they can also apply for a license to sell liquor. Opponents of the plan are…

Gene therapy for blood disorder a 'success'
Gene therapy has been used for the first time to treat an inherited blood disorder in what doctors say is a major step forward.
A man given pioneering treatment to correct a faulty gene has made "remarkable" progress, a US and French team has revealed.
Gene therapy is an experimental technique that manipulates genes in order to treat disease.
It has seen some successes, but also setbacks, including a patient's death.
Beta thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects the body's ability to create red blood cells.
The first gene therapy trial was in an 18-year-old man with a severe form of the condition, who had been receiving regular blood transfusions since the age of three.
Stem cells from his bone marrow were treated with a gene to correct for the faulty one.
They were then transfused back into his body, where they gradually gave rise to healthy red blood cells.
Three years after the treatment, which took place in 2007, the man remains mildly anaemic, but no longer needs blood transfusions, doctors said.
The team, led by Philippe Leboulch, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, said: "At present, approximately three years post-transplantation, the biological and clinical evolution is remarkable and the patient's quality of life is good."
Beta Thalassaemia
- Around 1,000 people in the UK live with the severe form of the disorder, with most cases found in people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian ancestry
- It causes anaemia and other complications, including organ damage, liver disease and heart failure
- Can range from moderate to severe
- Some have only symptoms of mild anaemia while others require regular blood transfusions or a bone marrow transplant
- Source: NHS Choices
But, reporting in the science journal Nature, the doctors sounded a note of caution, saying there was a possibility that the patient could be at risk of developing leukaemia in the future due to side effects from the gene therapy.
Gene therapy has been used since the 1990s as a new approach to treating a number of incurable conditions, including inherited disorders, some cancers, and viral infections.
There have been some positive results, but in 1999 an 18-year-old US volunteer, Jesse Gelsinger, died after the treatment.
And some children given gene therapy for the immune disorder "bubble baby" syndrome have developed cancer.
Proof of principleProf Adrian Thrasher, of University College London, has carried out gene therapy on children with immune disorders.
He said the latest study was an encouraging proof of principle that gene therapy could have genuine therapeutic effects in other blood disorders.
"The good news is that technology is advancing rapidly, and it shouldn't be too long before diseases such as thalassaemia can be reliably and safely treated in this way," he said.
Dr Derek Persons, of St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, said the work was "a major step forward for the gene therapy of haemoglobin disorder".
He said further trials were planned at several centres in the US, including his own.
"This is very early days," he added. "The field will advance from people doing different trials."

Mirrordir Can Make You a Hometown Hero!
What is the least attractive task of a system administrator's job? For most of us, it's performing backups of our data. Something about backups leaves us yawning and wishing for something far more exciting to do. Even with the advent of ATLs and backup software automation, we still need to watch log files and test the backup media occasionally by restoring files to assure the data is intact. Yep, backups are a necessary pain--but what if we could supplement our work with an extra layer of protection that, when disaster does strike, allows us to recover date much faster than if we went back to the tape?
If you haven't heard of the mirrordir utility, do yourself a favor and check it out. For one thing, it's extremely simple to use, but it's also powerful. It is a tool no system administrator should be without.
Let's take a look at what mirrordir can do for us. First, if you haven't already done so, download mirrordir from mirrordir.sourceforge.net and choose from either the RPM or tar version. I prefer to use RPMs when they are available, so let's go ahead and install it as the root user, from the directory you downloaded it to, with rpm -ihv mirrordir*.rpm. Provided no dependency issues halted the installation (as of yet, I have found none with either Red Hat 7.2 or 8.0 installations), we can proceed.
What you choose to do with mirrordir depends on you. It's purpose in life is to make an exact mirror of a directory or directories and copy all data to a safe mirrored location. This can be a location on the same disk, on the same server on a separate disk, on an FTP site or on any other network storage site. Obviously, mirroring data to the same disk is not the best idea should the disk itself fail, but it can be done if you desire.
For our example, we will set up mirrordir to copy the exact contents from one external Compaq SCSI RAID cabinet to another identical external cabinet (like to like). Also, we will write a simple script to automate the task of keeping the data up-to-date and add this script to our weekly cron jobs (or daily jobs, if you prefer). Each external RAID cabinet, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, houses six SCSI drives set up as a RAID-5 array. Once formatted as an ext3 filesystem, we have approximately 90GB of storage per cabinet.
We begin by creating a mountpoint for the external cabinets. As the root user, create a directory called ext_raid and another called mirror (or whatever you wish to call them). Next set the permissions on these mountpoints as follows, chmod -R 755. Once the mountpoints are in place and the permissions are set up as you like, do a dry run with mirrordir. First, assure that the two external SCSI arrays are mounted by issuing the mount -a command (which assumes that the external arrays have been added to the /etc/fstab file for mounting). Once both devices are mounted, run a mirrordir test:
mirrordir -v --dry-run /dev/sda /mirror
Pretty simple command line, huh? Don't be fooled though, as this is a very useful program. In our first example we used the dry-run switch, which simply lists the output of what would have been done. Before actually running mirrordir on your data, familiarize yourself with the man page listing all the available options. And, of course, have a current (yep, here it comes) backup available in case of an unforeseen booboo.
A word of caution here: be very careful with the order of the parameters you give to mirrordir. Should you reverse the order, you could replace data you are trying to make a copy of with data that exists on the target device--or you could delete everything on the source. This is one reason why you should do a dry-run first and examine all of the output mirrordir produces. That way, you are sure you are sending the correct data to the correct location. How are your backups?
Now let's run mirrordir for real. Copy the source data from one external RAID cabinet, called ext_raid, to a second cabinet, called mirror. This data consists of tons of technical documents, MP3s, applications, utilities and video from my SnapStream PVS server. Mirrordir will then make an exact copy of all my directories and data on the target RAID array (/mirror), maintaining the original security settings for the files and directories.
From this point forward, mirrordir needs only to append any changes to the data rather than do a full copy each time it is run. This feature is especially nice if you are mirroring over an FTP link across the network. Again, be sure to check out all of the cool options available in mirrordir. To name a few, you can use gzip to compress the data and create a tarball of the data on the target destination.
Now that we know mirrordir is working as promised, we can write a simple script to mount the target drive array, mirror our data to it, then unmount the array. This way the mirror disks are off-line and cannot be accidentally erased or modified. Open up your favorite editor and add something similar to this:
#!/bin/sh # This is mirror.sh - copy data from ext_raid cabinet to the mirror cabinet. # # this is mirrordir.sh: mirror of /ext_raid to another external raid cabinets # we assume that the source /ext_raid is already mounted, so we just mount the mirror /bin/mount /dev/sdb /mirror mirrordir /ext_raid /mirror /bin/umount /mirror
Next save the script and run chmod to make it executable by issuing the following:
chmod u+x mirror.sh
Now you can add the script to an existing cron job by dropping the script into one of the cron directories in /etc/cron.d (daily, weekly and so on).
So what about recovering from pooched data or a dead storage device? Once your target device is back up and running, simply reverse the previous mirrordir command:
mount /dev/sdb /mirror mirrordir /mirror /ext_mirror
Watch and smile as an exact copy of your data is fully restored to your (now repaired) original RAID cabinet or to the appropriate target destination. Of course, you also can point users to the /mirror cabinet, until the failed device is ready. Do I smell another script here?.

Have you looked at rsync?
The hardlink trick makes hourly/daily backups trivial, fast and space efficient. http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

News Release 480
Missouri allotted $70 million to clean up lead sites
Money to go towards making the state's lead-mining regions cleaner
Volume 37-480
(For Immediate Release)
Contact: Judd Slivka
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., DEC. 11, 2009 -- More than $70 million of funds from the nation's largest environmental bankruptcy case in U.S. history will go towards helping remediate environmental damage in the state's historical lead mining areas.
Missouri will receive at least $70 million of the $1.79 billion settlement due to environmental damage in the following locations:
- Big River Mineral Tailings/St. Joe Minerals Corp. ($17,072,427)
- Federal Mine Tailings ($7,743,418)
- Madison County Mines ($12,684,155)
- The Jasper County/Oronog-Duenweg Mining Belt ($21,402,000)
- Newton County Mine Tailings ($11,484,000)
The money comes from a settlement between, states, the federal government and the American Smelting and Refining Company, LLC, or ASARCO, an Arizona-based mining company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in Aug. 2005.
Because it is money from a bankruptcy settlement, the funds must go to remediate environmental damage caused by mining activities. They will be placed in special Superfund-program bank accounts.
"We are gratified to have this money," said Missouri Department of Natural Resources Director Mark N. Templeton. "It will go towards addressing the severe environmental damage from lead mining and help make a cleaner, healthier Missouri."
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Missouri Attorney General's Office all worked together to advocate the state's case for damages.

4 An Ambious AttemptUnknown497 | 21/03/2010 | See all Unknown497's reviews (6)For what it's worth, a multi-battleground for the psp was amazing. The customization is still there and still brilliant and the gameplay and graphics are as they usually are for the psp console. However, this game is one for the next gen consoles (PS3,Xbox 360). If Lucusarts get rid of the annoying cutscenes that play when you go from land to space, using an escape pod and landing in the enemy capital ship then you are on your way. Also, bring back all the vehicles and the actual capital ships, not the frigates.But, for the PSP, its a brilliant star wars battlefront game, but it would be 10x better on any next gen platformMAKE IT FOR THE XBOX 360 AND PS3 I SAY!!!
5 best battlefrontGunny96 | 17/11/2009 | See all Gunny96's reviews (3)This game is brilliant sure it can be slow and laggybut the gameplay is simple to master and we finally get to go from air to ground in the same missions just picture battlefront 2 but a bit better
1 worst star wars game ever!lexter | 13/11/2009 | See all lexter's reviews (6)it looks good,it sounds good.and u would think it would play good, but it dont! wots the point in having a game that runs as fast as as jabba the hut? its slow and tedious beyond beleif! and you cant even look up and down to scope out wot u are shooting at! save your cash and stick with yer battle front2 or the exellent lego star wars games! pants!
4 Good Gamegamer122 | 06/08/2010 | See all gamer122's reviews (1)Very Good game i was happy with the graphics and they were better than the older battlefront renegade squadron.The missions were rather long but there was a lack of levels to play.But the best thing is that you can go to and from space when you like and stil has the multiplayer so you can game against others.If you are intrested in this game then i think you should buy it...
2 I Reccommend previous Battlefront titlesDrelldenied | 20/07/2010 | See all Drelldenied's reviews (189)This edition of Star Wars Battlefront is very poor when compared to the other games and shouldnot have been released on the PSP. It would be more siuted to the bigger consoles.These are the bad points I find this game has;1. Very glitchy and bad quality graphics2. Slow and tedious loading times3. Annoying and boring cutscene everytime you make the transition from interior to space/escape pod to surface.4.They've taken out so many things that made the original games great (like commanding nearby troops, popular battlefronts and planets, most of the bonuses in galactic conquest, and various other personal and all round fan favourites)5. Same old boring fights from Renegade Squadron and Battlefront I & II (The Battle of Hoth and Endor)6. No new weapons or infantry since last game and all these have to be unlocked but whats the point if nothing's new.7.The ION CANNON. Basically, this is a new feature to Battlefront and its annoying because your commander will constantly, like every 20 seconds, tell you to secure the ion cannon. You cannot turn off or turn down the volume of your guys voice and it becomes incredibly agitating andthe ion cannon riuns your battlefront experience as it consumes most time in every battle.There are other small defects in this game which I'll leave out, suffice to say it's not that great. It's jus too slow, repetitive and dull. Try Battlefront 1 and 2 on the PS2.
