Good S.C. ruling

Backs 'defender' of rights in Dist. 6
The grand jury report merely scratched the surface when it comes to what is essentially the for-profit sale of the people's seats on the Augusta-Richmond County Commission by career commissioners.

Kill test ban pact
``Be careful what you ask for, because you might get it'' is an adage that's haunting President Clinton this week. He has been pushing the Senate for a vote on the ancient 1992 nuclear test ban treaty, as a gambit to needle Republicans for not allowing an up or down vote on the flawed pact.
Mayor: play ball
When he was a TV commentator, Bob Young could propose reforms off the top of his head, without input from others. As mayor, however, if he wants his proposals to be implemented, it's apparent he needs to do better at consulting with the Augusta Commission on major initiatives. Commissioners are hesitant to pass most proposals unless they've had a chance to review it and, perhaps, add a twist or two of their own.
Castigates school officials on all fronts
We have found few uniforms in stores, with very limited sizes. A new charity seems to have formed to reduce parents who cannot locate or afford uniforms to beggars. The officials' concern is unfair discipline.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A soulmate (or soul mate) is a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity.[1] This may involve similarity, love, romance, friendship, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, or compatibility and trust.[2]
In his dialogue The Symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about soul mates. Aristophanes states that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. He continues that there were three genders: man, woman and the "Androgynous". Each with two sets of genitalia with the Androgynous having both male and female genitalia. The men were children of the sun, the women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon, which was born of the sun and earth. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity's pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. These split humans were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish so Apollo had sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each human would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that.[3]
According to Theosophy, whose claims were modified by Edgar Cayce, God created androgynous souls—equally male and female. Later theories postulate that the souls split into separate genders, perhaps because they incurred karma while playing around on the Earth, or "separation from God." Over a number of reincarnations, each half seeks the other. When all karmic debt is purged, the two will fuse back together and return to the ultimate.[4][5]
In current usage, "soulmate" usually refers to a romantic partner, with the implication of an exclusive lifelong bond.[6] This is to say, the word is used with more rarity than the terms also associated with 'romantic partner'. The term is a very versatile term, being defined differently by different individuals, as it is related to the concept of love. It commonly holds the connotation of being the strongest bond with another person[7] that one can achieve. The term is not used as often as other terms representing the same idea, and this is likely to lead to its perceived rarity in meaning. The definition of it ranges widely, and cannot be pinpointed. It is commonly accepted that one will feel 'complete' once they have found their soul mate, as it is partially in the perceived definition that two souls are meant to unite. The term "soulmate" first appeared in the English language in a letter by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1822.
Bashert, (Yiddish: באַשערט), is a Yiddish word that means "destiny".[8] It is often used in the context of one's divinely foreordained spouse or soulmate, who is called "basherte" (female) or "basherter" (male). It can also be used to express the seeming fate or destiny of an auspicious or important event, friendship, or happening.
The idea of basherte(r) comes from statements found in classical rabbinic literature.[citation needed] A proverb that "marriages are made in heaven" is illustrated by a story in a midrash collection:
A Roman matron, on being told by Rabbi Jose ben Halafta that God arranges all marriages, said that this was an easy matter, and boasted that she could do as much herself. Thereupon she assembled her male and female slaves and paired them off in couples; but on the morrow they all went to her with complaints. Then she admitted that divine intervention is necessary to suitable marriages
Even God Himself finds it as difficult an undertaking as the dividing of the Red Sea. Forty days before a child is born its mate is determined upon (Genesis Rabba lxviii. 3-4; also Babylonian Talmud, tractates Soṭah 2a; Sanhedrin 22a; comp. M. Ḳ. 18b; "Sefer Hasidim," § 1128).
In modern usage, Jewish singles will say that they are looking for their bashert, meaning they are looking for that person who will complement them perfectly, and whom they will complement perfectly. Since it's considered to have been foreordained by God whom one will marry, one's spouse is considered to be one's bashert by definition, independent of whether the couple's marital life works out well or not.
Some psychologists state that believing that a soulmate exists specifically for a person is an unrealistic expectation.[9][10][11]

Modeling the JBL 4550
Hi all. After exhaustive searches to find plans for the JBL 4550A or 4550BKA, I got interested in modeling my own variant using Hornresp. With the help of people on this forum, other websites, and my Father who is a world-class engineer, I've become at least a little knowledgeable on horns, drivers, and tuned circuits. I now believe that I'm entering the "home stretch" of my design of a JBL 4550A copycat.
My current design consists of two JBL 2226J drivers, and differs from the 4550A in that I have no phasing plug (I believe that's what you'd call the thing in the middle of the 2 drivers in the 4550A), and the vent would be a single vent which would ride underneath the cabinet, rather than out to the sides. To this end, I have a few questions: 1) How do I model the vents in the JBL 4550A, which seem to be simple cut-outs in the side of the box, in Hornresp? To me, the 4550A looks like it simply wraps the rear chamber around to the side and just vents at the ends of the chamber, which should be perfectly "legal" with regard to horn theory, so long as the front-to-back length ("Lrc" in Hornresp) stays consistent, right? So to model this, should I specify Lpt = the wood thickness (0.75" = 1.905cm)? Or should I make Lpt equal to 1.905 times the number of vents? 2) I've noticed only extremely marginal improvements in the low-end response while playing with various parameters, like the chamber volume, the vent size, vent depth, etc. Changing vent parameters and the chamber volume seems to create a "hole" in the SPL graph somewhere below 30hz, however I can get rid of that hole by tweaking those parameters. But overall, I'm not seeing the kind of additional SPL by using a port as I would expect (I've compared to a sealed box - they're basically the same). What am I doing wrong? What should I expect out of a vent versus a sealed design? And since they seem to be the same (from what I can see) why do I care about vents anyway? 3) The thing in the middle of the drivers that I was referring to - what is its purpose? Is it a phasing plug as I supposed? What advantage does its presence have? How can I model one in Hornresp? I'll send my Hornresp parameters if necessary; I'm also attaching a couple pictures of a 4550A for reference - one is JBL, the other is a homebrew variant by a guy in Japan (wish I could get an email address for him...) which depicts the construction of these things as best I know it. Thanks in advance! |

They're main purpose as I see it is to control displacement near the LF-cutoff of your cabinet so you can get the power up to the coil heat limit. Frequency response be damned! We want it loud for PA If the response fix is to raise what got lowered by the port, then nothing was achieved and it was a wash
Nice pix by the way.

The pics aren't mine.. I got them via google image search. But the Japanese do seem to love those 4550A's.
I'm having a hard time with your explanation. I'll concede that you *can* do that with the vent, as I've modeled in this fashion before (though I'm not clear on the mechanics behind it all). But every bit of reading I've done on horn theory suggests that the benefit of a vented front-loaded horn is that the vent becomes phase-additive with the output of the horn, and extends the LF response. Indeed this seems to be confirmed by Altec 817 literature, wherein they purport "Design of the front-loading enclosure loads the bass driver down to 150hz; the bass reflex porting extends the response to 50hz and lower when multiple units are used. I presume they mean that a single cabinet does 50hz in half-space - quite easy to believe - and that multiple cabs in parallel go lower because of the wider Q. See http://www.altecpro.com/pdfs/vintage...%20Cabinet.pdf if you care to see what I'm reading from. So what gives? What do the so-called "experts" on horn design have to say about it? |

There is a 6dB shelf in the response of these type of cabinets, about 160hz on the 4560 (single 15 version of the 4550).
Best use of 4560 type cabinets: Why do you want to build 4550s? The 2226 is not a very good driver for them. The 2220 allows them to reach 500hz, the mass corner of the 2226 is half that. (with the correct drivers) These kind of boxes were fine for the old SMPTE standard, a two-way with a 500hz crossover point. Of the big three (Altec A4, JBL4550, RCA Ubangi), the 4550 was kind of in the middle performance wise, the RCA had much better midrange. None of these had any 'real' bass.

Thank you _very_ much for the contribution. This is the first time I've seen plans for a 4550 on the Internet. Can you tell me about the source of those plans? Also, does your literature say anything about the reason for the section between the two 15" drivers?

Highlands University has been given a little more time to find ways to save its wrestling and rodeo programs.
On Wednesday, the school's Board of Regents voted to delay a decision on the administration's recommendation to do away with wrestling and rodeo because of budget cuts.
This happened before a large crowd of wrestling and rodeo enthusiasts.
During the meeting, student regent Greg Rael announced that he would have a forum at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Kennedy Hall to look for ways to save the programs.
Highlands University's wrestling and rodeo programs may be destined for the chopping block.
On Wednesday, the school's Board of Regents will consider the administration's proposal to cut the two sports. The university has seen its athletics budget drop by nearly 15 percent since fiscal year 2009 — the result of statewide spending cuts.
"This isn't an easy decision to make. It's not as if people are jumping up and down to get rid of these programs," Highlands spokesman Sean Weaver said.
Once again, incidents and alleged incidents of driving while intoxicated are all over the pages of this newspaper. In just two editions of the Optic, we find tragedy, outrage and a glimmer of hope.
Last week, a too-familiar nightmare took place. A driver, suspected of being drunk, crossed over the Interstate 25 median and crashed head-on into an another traveler's vehicle. Gone are Cecilio Jaramillo, 28, of Santa Fe, the suspected drunken driver, and Mariah Arguello, 18, of Las Vegas, who was just getting started in life.
Ramon "Swoops" Montaño was seated as Las Vegas City Schools board president for the second time in a yearly reorganization of the board at a recent meeting.
He replaces Phillip Vigil as the leader of the board.
Montaño was also elected as president of the state school boards association.
Gabriel Lucero replaces Montaño as vice president of the local board, and Patrick Romero remains as secretary.
New Mexico Highlands' baseball team bolstered its hold on first place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on Sunday with a doubleheader sweep of host Nebraska-Kearney.
And longtime NMHU coach Steve Jones earned his 400th win, extending his own all-time Cowboy baseball career coaching record.
West Las Vegas' softball team came away with a fourth-place finish over the weekend in the St. Michael's Invitational.
Coach Lucas Griego's Lady Dons fell 11-10 to the tourney host Lady Horsemen on Saturday in the third-place game.
WLV had led St. Mike's 10-6 midway through the sixth inning before the home team rallied to steal the win.
The Lady Dons shredded McCurdy 28-3 on Thursday morning to open the tourney. But they lost 6-2 to eventual champ Moriarty in a Friday semifinal.
Jayme Quintana shot a 93 on Monday in Socorro, qualifying her third and final leg for state.
And she led Robertson to a third place finish out of eight teams in the girls' Warrior Invitational.
Robertson, which played without lead golfer Jamie Allen, has already made the cut for state as a team.
"Not bad at all for our first tournament," said coach Gene Gurule.
The Cardinal boys were to play on Tuesday.
After roughly a month off, Luna Community College head baseball coach Peter Ortiz is back on the job, the school reports.
"Peter Ortiz has been reinstated as baseball coach at Luna Community College," said Jesse Gallegos, LCC's public information officer, in a written statement issued late last week. "He had been on administrative leave. Additional steps are being taken to improve our athletic programs."
You needn't go very far to find those opposed to "change agents." The citizens of West Las Vegas were the most adamant for consolidating the two "cities," but the Las Vegas Daily Optic opposed that consolidation just as adamantly. I am sure you can find those stories in your own archives.
San Miguel County officials will likely take a look at wind-farm regulations at its meeting next month. But no action is expected at that time.
It's an issue that has caused division in the Valley since a company expressed interest in putting up wind turbines on the mesa near Bernal a few years ago.
Some hope to benefit economically from such a project, while others contend turbines are unsightly, noisy and damaging to wildlife.

This isn't going to end like you think it's going to end.
I get funny, thoughtful and hopeful letters from a guy named Michael Keating. He writes haiku (Japanese poetry – three lines, five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables in construction.) He numbers and dates his poems, a catalog of his thoughts. His name, in Japanese, is "Maiku" and he's working on a book entitled "Haiku by Maiku."
I like this guy. He explained that he doesn't write pure haiku, which traditionally contain a "kigo," a reference to the season. His poems are more simple, he admits. He writes two haiku each day. "It might not bear any fruit, but I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it," he wrote.
"May 27, 2013 #328
Avoid the mundane
Each day has a special gift
Always search for it"
Michael jumped, feet first, into Japanese culture at age 7, when he took his first martial arts class. Later he became an instructor at the dojo. Along the way, he began dreaming of moving to Japan. Once he made it there, he would do two things. The first, very practical. He would teach English to pay the bills. The second, very cool. He would become a fight choreographer and open his own production company to make action-packed movies. Long ago, he decided the name would be: "Walk 6 Steps Fight Choreography Productions."
He went to the Orange County School of Arts, then Cal State Fullerton. He got a bachelor's degree in Japanese language. He minored in kinesiology.
"May 3, 2013 #280
A flower and weeds
Struggling for the same dirt
Growing side by side"
He loved the fight scene in the movie "Forbidden Kingdom" in which Jet Li takes on Jackie Chan, whom Michael tries to emulate in his choreography. Jackie Chan, he wrote, "can beat up the bad guy with a ladder through his legs."
He dreamed about being the next "Karate Kid." "If Ralph Macchio can achieve legend status, why not Michael Keating?"

Posted by Rob McGarr, 02 November 2011
We asked you, the lovely FHM readers, for pictures of your Halloween costume creations, and boy oh boy did you deliver. Here's the pick o' the bunch:
Delena Tango/Grim Fandango
We don't know if her eyes always look like that, but we're sure as hell not keen to find out.
John Ellerby/Born in Hell(erby)
Here's a picture of John Ellerby from Edinburgh and his girlfriend Gemma Veitch from Reading on their way to a pal's fancy dress party. Anyone that brings pickled onions to a party is welcome at ours anytime.
Harry Woodman/No Jokes for her
Harry Woodman "had a night in the town as the Joker :D".
We had a night on the town, too. It was great. We met this really hot dark-haired girl in a purple dress at about 2 in the morning. Let's just say things got a bit 'ghoulish'. Some of the stuff we got up to was... wait... hang on... *shudders, stares blankly, starts scrubbing body ferociously*
Want to recreat the look? You can bag yourself an official Joker make-up kit right here.
Paul Baker/We'll never be able to unsee this
This is Paul Baker and a pal "holding the famous Sooty and Richard hostage". This photo's got everything, really. Colour coordination, a famous bear puppet, two human pumpkins, and the BIGGEST MAMELTOE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
Igarza/Skull candy
Somebody called 'Igarza' who looks a bit like Kim Kardashian sent in these two pictures. We were a bit like "hmm these aren't very Halloweeny but then we saw the skull and everything was okay again".
Kevin Mills/Helium pays the bills
Kevin Mills from Twickenham sent in this charming concoction. We think somebody's been reading our November issue (see below).
If you were stuck for inspiration, here's some ideas for next year, featuring UK rapper Fem Fel and workie Chris Smith:
Fem says: "I'm pretty pleased with this one cause I've got a bag of rice to share with all my new friends."
FHM says: Too soon? We say, "Naaaah", because you aren't a rioter, noooo – you are the riots. You are a figurative representation of the polemic chaos and the socially disenfranchised, or some guff like that. A metaphor. An iconic symbol. Plus: melted trainers LMAO.
You need: Assorted melted trainers and toy cars, £1, Poundland; value basmati rice, £4, Tesco
Fem says: "I feel inspired. I am really getting into character. I don't know who these guys stuck to me are, but they seem alright."
FHM says: There's nothing chicks dig more than a bit of casual wordplay. OK, so there probably is, but if you get enough people pointing at you going, "Aaaah I get it" you'll end up comparing yourself with Shakespeare – if, you know, Shakespeare had waltzed around covered in novelty cereal and pictures of Harold Shipman.
You need: Cereal boxes, £2, Tesco; broken knife, found in kitchen; fake blood, £13, Angels fancy dress (fancydress.com)
Workie Chris says: "I love these shoes. They're practical, comfortable and a great conversation starter."
FHM says: There is no scarier or grumpier wonky-faced, one-handed unemployed clown, except maybe Abu Hamza. Mr Jelly isn't your run of the mill party clown – he's terrifying. Good for make-up amateurs, as it requires little-to-no skill to apply.
You need: Sinister clown costume, £34, clown shoes, £16, face paint, £4.50, hook, £5, all Angel's fancy dress (fancydress.com); two afro kinky puff wigs, £15, Sensationnel (sensationnel.com); swimming hat, £4, Speedo; red lipstick and liquid eyeliner, free, sister
Fem says: "I think I'd be more afraid if this hand was my real hand 'cause it's white."
FHM says: Severed limbs and epic use of fake blood are great building blocks for any Halloween ensemble. Add drama and authenticity by appearing constipated at all times. We will confess that giving Fem Fel a white hand did raise continuity issues. But you live and learn.

Chris says: "I've never had anything bandaged to my bumhole before."
FHM says: Advantage – by far the easiest to throw together. Disadvantage – you might want to wear a coat to your party. As soon as you take it off, though – BAM! – you're a scantily clad artistic mastermind with an in-depth knowledge of grotesque horror films. Plus, you get your goodies on full show.

QB James Franklin starts
After missing last week's game against Arizona State with a shoulder injury, Missouri quarterback James Franklin started Saturday at No. 7 South Carolina.
Franklin has an inflamed bursa sac in his right throwing shoulder and was injured in Missouri's 41-20 loss to Georgia on Sept. 8, when Bulldogs' linebacker Jarvis Jones hit his arm as it was coming forward on a throw.
SEC blog
ESPN.com's Chris Low and Edward Aschoff write about all things SEC football in the conference blog.
Franklin didn't throw much during the week leading up to the Arizona State game and redshirt sophomore Corbin Berkstresser started in his place during the Tigers' 24-20 win over the Sun Devils. In his first-career start, Berkstresser completed 21 of 41 passes for 198 yards and an interception. He also ran the ball 18 times for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Controversy surrounded Franklin's absence last week, as he refused to take a cortisone shot to numb his shoulder pain. Franklin -- and his family -- don't believe in taking painkillers to mask pain.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said both before and after the Arizona State game that Franklin couldn't play because the pain in his shoulder was too intense.
"It was too painful for him, and he didn't want to play," Pinkel said after the win.
Pinkel later said that he never questioned his quarterback's toughness. Franklin also told reporters this week that he didn't feel his coach questioned his toughness either.
On the season, Franklin has passed for 400 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. He has also carried the ball 26 times for 64 yards.
South Carolina has its own injury issue at quarterback, as starter Connor Shaw is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right throwing shoulder. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said on Wednesday that doctors and trainers informed him that Shaw's injury can't worsen and that Shaw will start against Missouri.

The Gamelatron, the world's first and only fully robotic gamelan orchestra, will be installed inside the Temple at Burning Man. Read more
The Gamelatron, the world's first and only fully robotic gamelan orchestra, will be installed inside the Temple at Burning Man.
About this project
We invite you to be a part of bringing the soul to this year's Temple at Burning Man.
New Goal, Full Vision: 160 hours
Every dollar contributed from this point on goes towards making this a 160-hour continuous sacred sound installation and to ensure the Gamelatron can survive fully intact the harsh desert climate of Black Rock City. To do this, we need replacement robotic components--specifically, microprocessors that decode midi info and turn it into electric pulsations (the brains), hand-milled robotic striking mechanisms, solenoid electromagnets (the actuators) and steel gong mounts.
Please contribute to help us realize our fullest, grandest vision of a sonic soul for a marvelous temple.
A Rare, Magical, Powerful, Sound Experience
The Gamelatron, a robotic orchestra of antique traditional gongs used in Balinese temple ceremonies, is creating a monumental installation, consisting of at least 57 robotic gongs and cymbals in sculptural encasings embedded along the walls of the inner rings of the central temple.
I was amazed time and time again at the profound effect The Gamelatron has upon all kinds of people.The sounds instantly fill a space with the feeling of reverence.
--Shrine, Temple creator 2008
Our goal is to support the deep purposes and spirit of the Temple--where eulogies are written and burned, where marriages happen, intentions are set and spirits are renewed--through a rare, magical, powerful, sound experience.
The Gamelatron achieved a great feat: To accentuate silence through melody. In an environment so wide open and occasionally hostile, it provided a sonic santuary for those in search of relief from crowd, from sun, and on occasion from themselves..
--Travis Puglisi, Art Director Joshua Tree Music Festival
Our compositions will range from solitary soulful gongs and utter silence to orchestral ritual activations that flow far out into the desert. The tones of the gamelan scale ring the cardinal directions of the universe and distinct parts of our bodies. The music is designed since ancient times to heal, protect, waken, transform. We envision an extraordinary desert temple of resonance.
The "Soul of the Temple" is our most ambitious project to date.
This is where you come in. Whether you are headed to Black Rock City or not, your support will make you a big part of the Gamelatron's journey and mission. We have seed funding of $2500 towards a full project budget of $10,000. Your contributions go directly to the purchase of the rest of our materials including components integral to weatherizing the robots, building the metal infrastructure of the installation, adding sixteen additional hand forged bronze gongs shipped from Indonesia and to cover transportation costs from Brooklyn to Nevada and back. The Gamelatron weighs over a 1000 pounds with many components. Transporting it is the single greatest expense. Any funds over our kickstarter base goal of $5000 will go towards additonal gongs and robotics.
For our Benefactors!
We have limited edition audio recordings, Soul of the Temple T-shirts, jumpsuits and special Gamelatron concerts in New York. For those of you really excited about coming on board as major contibutors, I will compose a suite of music that the Gamelatron will play on the playa at sunset dedicated to someone in your life.
Please join us! Thank you from the Gamelatron team!
Taylor Kuffner
NO! The Gamelatron will be removed and will, instead, perform a requiem on the Sunday before the Temple burn.
Excellent question! We are researching solar. We have used solar very successfully once before and the desert is the absolute ideal place to do it. Stay tuned for updates!

PARIS: Egypt's bloody crackdown on supporters of ousted president Mohamed Mursi triggered widespread condemnation on Wednesday as the international community reacted with alarm to the deepening crisis.
Europe's leading powers along with Iran, Qatar and Turkey strongly denounced the use of force by the military-backed interim government to clear two protest camps in Cairo.
The action has resulted in more than 120 deaths, according to AFP reporters at the scene.
"I am deeply concerned at the escalating violence and unrest in Egypt," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement. "I condemn the use of force in clearing protests and call on the security forces to act with restraint."
Qatar, a main backer of the pro-Mursi Muslim Brotherhood, issued a similar message.
"Qatar strongly denounces the means by which peaceful protesters in Rabaa al-Adawiya camp and Al-Nahda square have been dealt with and which led to the killing of several unarmed innocent people among them," a foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement published on the official QNA agency.
Turkey which had developed strong ties with Mursi's government urged the international community to act immediately over what it said was an "unacceptable" response to the protests.
"The international community, particularly the UN Security Council and Arab League, must act immediately to stop this massacre," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
Iran also termed the crackdown a "massacre". "Iran is following the bitter events in Egypt closely, disapproves of the violent actions, condemns the massacre of the population and warns of the serious consequences," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
France and Germany refrained from apportioning blame for the crisis, calling for calm from both sides.
"It is essential that this violence cease and that a sense of calm prevails," a French foreign ministry statement said. "France calls on all parties to show the greatest restraint and warns against the disproportionate use of force.
"Emerging from this crisis can only be achieved through a political solution, which involves everyone promoting dialogue and the search for a compromise.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said: "We call on all political forces to return immediately to negotiations and avert an escalation of violence.
"All further bloodshed must be prevented." The European Union also appealed for restraint, with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton's spokesman saying: "Confrontation and violence are not the way forward."
There was no immediate reaction from the United States to Wednesday's bloodshed in the Arab world's most populous country.
Washington has given the interim regime in Egypt qualified backing, refusing to declare July's ouster of Mursi a coup while calling for a swift return to civilian rule.
A State Department spokesman on Tuesday urged the Egyptian authorities to allow Mursi supporters to protest freely but stopped short of outright condemnation of the crackdown.

HI, approximately 2 weeks ago I was permanently banned from league of legends, the reason stated on the mail is ¨ Actions performed on your account violate the League of Legends Terms of Use". I am pretty sure this is a mistake beacuase I have never violated the TOS intentionally and after opening four support cases they have ignored me on all ocasions. With the first case I made the support staff told me that he couldn't provide me with enough information as to way I was being banned so he would transfer me to a different person that could help me with the issue. After one week and several days I have't had any answer on that case again (I guess my case didn't get transfered to anyone?). Beacause of this I had to open more support cases, in onf this cases the support staff told me that according to their systems my account was not banned and therefore I shouldnt have any problem login in, he told me to take a screen shot of the ban and send it. I did this and again I didn't get an answer..once again. So please Riot im pretty sure this was a mistake and I want someone from support to help me solve this issue, I'm pretty sure I didn't violate the TOS and according to your systems i'm not banned. Two weeks have passed and I can't get an answer, please investigate my ban. Here is the screenshot I took, just in case you need it. http://imageshack.us/a/img12/8956/lolban.jpg
if you live till 2100 the first thing I would do is log on LoL and be like "Take that Riot!"

What price democracy? Counting the cost of UK elections
Polling day for many in the media is the lull before the storm: seemingly endless advance preparation awaits vindication from the main event which, for broadcasters, begins at 10pm.
However, at each election a massive operation that completely dwarfs anything we plan to do has also been in preparation for many months and is launched 15 hours ahead of the election results programmes taking to to the air.
The precise details of how elections are delivered are hard to pin down.
According to Hansard, on 27 April 2011, Labour MP John Spellar asked in the Commons "the cost to the public purse of the 2010 general election".
Cabinet Office minister Mark Harper replied: "We have estimated that the cost of the 2010 UK parliamentary election will be £113,255,271. This figure consists of £28,655,271 for the cost of distributing candidates' mailings and a further £84.6 million for the conduct of the poll."
British Electoral Facts 1832-2012 records the following total costs for election administration and postal deliveries (cash totals unadjusted for inflation):
Election | Conduct of the poll (£) | Postal deliveries (£) | Total (£) |

All of the above excludes spending by individual candidates and national party organisations: in 2010 this amounted to an additional £45.5m - £31.5m on national campaigns and £14m of candidates' expenses.
We know that the 2010 general election was contested by 4,150 candidates, representing 135 political parties; that UK electoral registers contained some 45.6 million entries (an increase of 1.3 million since the 2005 general election); that just over 82% of all votes were cast in polling stations and the remaining 12% by post.
And that, as they say, is about it as far as the information goes.
Organising the 2011 AV referendumIn December 2012, the Electoral Commission published their report "Cost of the May 2011 referendum on the UK Parliamentary voting system".
Candidate costs
- A footnote in British Electoral Facts says: "Returning Officers' expenses include the administrative costs of the election, printing, etc. Prior to 1918 these charges were paid by the candidates (the total charges in each constituency being divided equally among the candidates) in addition to their own election expenses."
- If that were still the case today then every candidate in the 2010 general election would have been presented with a bill for £27,290
The introduction states: "This is the first time that a full report has been published on the costs of running a national poll."
Given the 2011 Alternative Vote referendum was a UK-wide event, it is the closest we are likely to come to the scale of organisation required in a general election.
As with the 2010 general election, the 2011 AV referendum polling day was shared with a number of other elections: on this occasion those for the Scottish Parliament, Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies, as well as local elections across most of England and all of Northern Ireland.
As a consequence, various costs incurred were shared with these other bodies polling on the same day.
The total cost of administering the referendum was £58.2m. However, the report states: "We estimate that this referendum would have cost around £90m had it been held on a 'stand alone' basis."
Nearly 45.7 million people were registered to vote in the 2011 referendum and almost 19.3 million (42.2%) did so.
What was the scale of organisation involved?
- Polling station costs (£27.2m)
There were 42,781 polling stations used throughout the UK and hired at a cost of £4.3m. The average cost of hiring a polling station was £637 ranging between £486 on average in Wales through to an average of £1,323 in London.
The polling stations were staffed by 119,500 people throughout the day at a cost of £15.6m.
Some 45.7 million ballot papers were printed at a cost of £2.7m; and the equipment at the stations - ballot boxes, polling booths, etc. - cost £1.5m.
- Postal vote costs (£10.6m)
Almost 7.2 million postal votes were printed and despatched for the referendum and 5.2 million were returned in their pre-paid envelopes.
- Poll card costs (£6.3m)
Some 45.7 million poll cards were printed and delivered to every elector.
- Count costs (£6.8m)
About 19.3 million votes cast in 42,781 polling stations across the UK were transported to 400 count venues where 80,500 people were employed to count them.
Campaign broadcastsThe report comments: "The costs of referendum (or indeed party political) campaign broadcasts have not to our knowledge been estimated before."
Undaunted, they asked "the commercial broadcasters" to estimate the total value of the Yes and No campaign broadcasts if they had had to pay for the space.
The estimate they came up with was £420,000 for television broadcasts and £30,000 for those on radio.
In addition to the total of £58.2m spent on administering the referendum, the Electoral Commission spent £7.5m on its public awareness campaigning, including the delivery of an information booklet to 27.8 million households.
They paid a further £8.8m to the Royal Mail, including £1.5m for delivering 8.5 million items of campaign literature from Yes to fairer Votes and £6.7m for delivering 40 million items from the No to AV campaign.
This summary of the detail of how the 2011 AV referendum was organised presents a picture that is likely to be very similar to what will be in place for May 2015. The estimated cost of a "stand alone" referendum was £90m - barely £5m more than the cost of the 2010 general election.
Prior to polling day in 2015, around seven million postal votes will have been despatched and about six million returned and processed.
Over 45 million ballot papers will have been printed to reflect 650 separate candidate lists for the election and the same number of poll cards delivered to electors.
On polling day there will be around 43,000 polling stations staffed for 15 hours by 120,000 people.
On election night, thousands of ballot boxes will be transported to centres where more than 80,000 people will sort and count their contents.
Like most people, I take all this for granted, barely giving a second thought.
Yet it is a massive, extraordinary and complex operation: the biggest manifestation of civic society that any of us are ever likely to see.

Sorry for the confusion but there is no coupon for WebDesign.com or the University ... the reference was for the iThemes newsletter and a discount for iThemes products. Again, I am sorry for the confusion.
