Jabari Parker scores career-high 30, adds 11 boards as No. 4 Duke rolls
DURHAM, N.C. -- If this was Jabari Parker's last home game at Duke, what a farewell it was.
The freshman phenom scored a season-high 30 points and added 11 rebounds in the fourth-ranked Blue Devils' 93-81 win over No. 14 North Carolina on Saturday night.
In leading Duke in both scoring and rebounding all season, he hasn't looked like a first-year player very often.
And he doesn't want to be called one, either.

Duke got even with North Carolina by leaning on its two best players, who, for once, both had big nights, C.L. Brown writes. Story

• Nation blog
"No more freshman," he said. "I don't like getting in that category anymore because my team needs me more than just an 18-year-old. They need somebody with experience through the whole game. ... It's time to grow up."
Rodney Hood added 24 points to help Duke (24-7, 13-5) end the Tar Heels' 12-game winning streak and clinch the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Duke never trailed, shot 51 percent -- 57 percent in the second half -- and dominated the ACC's best team on the glass, outrebounding North Carolina 34-20.
"I think at the end of the day, it just came down to our want-to against their want-to, and it just wasn't there -- the sense of urgency," North Carolina big man James Michael McAdoo said.
Marcus Paige -- who led UNC's second-half comeback two weeks ago -- finished this one with 24 points, while Brice Johnson had 15 and McAdoo added 13 for the Tar Heels (23-8, 13-5).
They shot nearly 60 percent but couldn't overcome their disadvantage on the glass and are locked into the No. 4 seed in the league tournament.
Leslie McDonald added 12 points for North Carolina, which was denied its fourth win over a top-five team, but briefly made things tense in the final minutes when Paige converted a four-point play to make it 81-73 with 2:50 left.

But the Tar Heels' point guard missed 3s on the next two possessions -- with Parker blocking the second of those with 2 1/2 minutes left.
Quinn Cook hit two free throws, Amile Jefferson added another and Parker hit two foul shots with 2:03 left to push the lead to 86-73 and effectively end it.
Cook finished with 11 points and Rasheed Sulaimon added 10.
And in what might have been his finale at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Parker put on quite a show.
"It's hard to say what `it' is," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said, referring to an intangible quality coach Mike Krzyzewski had chided Duke for being without in its loss to UNC.
"But whatever the hell `it' is, Jabari found it," Williams added.
Parker hit 10 of his 17 shots, cracked his previous high of 29 points set last month at Boston College and showed off all the skills that have him as a likely high NBA draft pick -- should he decide to forgo his final three seasons of college eligibility and turn pro.
But he says he has time to make that decision.
"Mostly what I'm focusing on is to do as much as possible with these guys (during) my time here," Parker said.
Parker set the tone early by converting repeatedly around the rim, and he hit two of his four attempts from 3-point range -- including one from the corner that gave Duke its largest lead, 74-55, with 8 1/2 minutes left.
"I just thought he had his best spirit to score tonight that he's had all season, because they're really good, and at times he just wasn't going to be denied," Krzyzewski said. "And then, boom, boom, boom, you hit those 3s (and) that lead can go to double digits quick."
Indeed, when those 3s are falling, the Blue Devils are tough to beat.
When they're not, Duke is usually in trouble.
The Blue Devils were only 5 of 22 from long range in their 74-66 loss in Chapel Hill. They made just 6 of 27 from beyond the arc in a 10-point loss at Wake Forest on Wednesday night.
In this one, Duke missed 12 of its first 14 3-pointers and held a tenuous 47-39 lead when pesky senior guard Tyler Thornton picked up his fourth foul with 17:11 left.
Cook came on to replace him and immediately hit a straightaway 3 that started the Blue Devils' big burst.
"It was good to see the ball go in for the first time," Cook said, adding that Parker "told me he was going to hit me as soon as I came in the game. That's just the trust we have in each other."
Andre Dawkins followed with another one from the corner to help the Blue Devils open up a 53-41 lead.
Parker then added a jumper and two free throws before Cook hit and up-and-under layup. And Hood then followed that with a 3 with 14 minutes left to give Duke its largest lead to that point, 62-46.
That shot whipped an already amped-up Cameron crowd -- which included Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and his quarterback, an apparent Blue Devils fan, Tony Romo cheering enthusiastically from behind the scorers' table -- into an absolute frenzy.
There were plenty of famous faces in the crowd for the latest renewal of college basketball's fiercest rivalry: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell -- wearing a Duke sweater -- watched from one baseline, while former Oklahoma coaches Barry Switzer and Billy Tubbs sat on the other one.
And Hood and Parker kept them entertained all night.
"Jabari was sensational, and so was Rodney," Krzyzewski said. "This is the first game where the two of them were sensational together. They've both been good together, but they were sensational together."

The Rochester School for the Deaf has a new superintendent and CEO after the retirement of longtime leader Harold Mowl.
Mowl served as superintendent and CEO of the school for the last 20 years, and this week the school's board announced that Antony McLetchie has been selected as its next leader. McLetchie served as secondary school principal of the Ernest C. Drury School for the Deaf in Milton, Ontario.
Mowl has agreed to stay on in his position until McLetchie and his family have relocated from Canada, RSD officials said.
"As hard as it is to see Dr. Mowl retire, we couldn't be more thrilled to have Antony McLetchie as our new superintendent," said Michael Doughty, RSD board president. "Antony has a strong background in deaf education. He is an experienced teacher and administrator and is highly regarded in the field of deaf education. The board is excited to engage with him in building a dynamic strategic plan for RSD."
Doughty added that McLetchie stood out during a search process that included meetings with stakeholders and a town hall-style forum.
"It was obvious that Antony has extensive educational leadership, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and he is a strong leader," Doughty said. "We have every confidence that he will help us reach our future goals as a school community."

The Best Health Insurance, Part 3
By Don Beckett
You may like to refresh your memory of Part 1 and Part 2 of this article, before continuing....
Please understand, when I say "health insurance" or that you can ensure your health by doing certain things, I'm not guaranteeing anything! There are no guarantees in life, period. Your results — when practicing Reiki and/or Macrobiotics, or anything else — will always depend on your level of understanding and practice (there's no escaping that we are always responsible for our own condition). And please understand, I'm not even suggesting that you will never be "sick" again. The symptoms that we often label "cold" or "flu" are, in fact, symptoms of the body's natural healing process — ridding itself of acquired toxins — and it's important that we not suppress that. (See What is Disease? What is True Healing? and "Alternative Medicine" — the Real Alternative to the Health Care Crisis.)
However, my experience — of using Reiki and Macrobiotics over many years — is that the occurrence of such symptoms becomes quite rare and quite minor, as the body strengthens its ability to remove toxins daily, keeping them from accumulating to a harmful level. Even so, as we become more deeply healthy, we are likely to pass through some periods of more extreme symptoms; these are caused by the releasing of toxins that have been held deeper within the body and often for many years. Again, it's important not to suppress their release, but to surrender to it; to endure the process and finally be rid of those toxins! (We can adjust the speed of release, and the severity of symptoms, if necessary.)
Ready, Set . . . . Reiki!
Whether or not you've started following the suggestions for healthier eating already (and maybe even studying Macrobiotics! : ^ ), anytime is a great time to incorporate Reiki into your life! In a previous article I wrote about several benefits of Reiki; and many people like to pamper themselves by receiving Reiki occasionally from a Reiki practitioner. But, if you're serious about using Reiki to maintain and improve your health, you really need to be doing it for yourself — every day or nearly every day. Most people will receive great benefit from just 30 minutes of Reiki per day....

In the past I would easily run 9-21 for Tanky AP champs but now that revive is on the utility tree, I am torn between the 8% Spell Pen vs 220-560 (200 + 20*lvl) of hp when reviving. How are my fellow summoners dealing with this? Do you run 0-21-9 instead or a mix? Thoughts?
Take the %pen. Revive mastery is less important now, and if you really want it, run 9-17-4 or 9-20-1. The real meat of the defense tree is in its midst. Tanky APs work because their base damages are rather high, so take %pen.
Like Disc, I've been running 9/20/1 now when I want to spec into the defense tree.
Run 9-20-1. Having that extra hp is crucial in many situations- bot lane that goes double.
I play 9-0-21 as AP quite well
The spellpen and the HP from revive are far better than a flat 3% less damage taken. 3% less damage taken is worth around 15hp per 500hp, it is really not that much at all.
Flat hp revive bonus is HUGE. 2 minutes +500 hp at lvl 18. It is tremendous amount. No other mastery can compete with it.
OMG fml... i didn't notice the revive mastery moving over to utility tree for season 3... ahahahha, lack of reading ftl...
Keep in mind 3% damage reduction is basically the same as +3 armour, +3 resist (well, actually it's a bit more because of % pen effects). It's pretty good for a single point, but worth more than the Utility summoner mastery? No, probably not.
The bonus health from the Revive mastery outweighs any single point, except for the pen masteries. I've been running 10/19/1 on tanks, supports, and mages who aren't building past 200 or so AP, and 21/8/1 or 21/0/9 on the rest in S3. Even if used right at level 4, the revive health far surpasses the benefit from Honor Guard or Veteren's Scars. Utility, IMO, simply isn't worth going past 9 points on Dominion unless you are a mana tank. The middle of the tree is far too heavily designed for 0 CS SR supports.

Its star attraction is Walt Disney World, and Universal Orlando is not far behind, though the two combined barely scratch the surface of things to do here. Downtown Orlando is the beautiful city center, while Kissimmee has a smaller town feel.

Walt Disney World, too, is just a short drive away. If you're looking for a little more culture, head over to the Orlando Museum of Art or Mennello Museum of American Folk Art. A bit farther away, the Kennedy Space Center, NASA's launch headquarters with lots of space-themed exhibits to experience, and beaches are also easily accessible.

This isn't so much about the fine to me as it is getting folks to do the right thing and clean up after their pet. For some folks if the penalty isn't harsh enough they just don't care. I think most responsible pet owners clean up after their pets and will never have a worry about it but the ones that don't.... here's your wake-up call.
Just do the right thing.... no worries.

It was lovely to meet some of you online last week!So, because you were all so great last time, I've had a brill idea! In the lead up to Red Nose Day (this Friday in case you've forgotten) I'm going to go online every day! Let's call it Daffo's Daily Visits - see what I did there? Hehe ;)To give you all some ideas for cool fundraising activities that you can do with your friends and family this week for Red Nose Day, I thought we could try out some different ones around the island.So, for today's visit I will be on the server Crystal at 2pm GMT and I'll be holding a Bake Sale in my igloo… Mmmm cake! XDHope you can make it!Waddle on!- Club Penguin Team
I hope you're all brill! I'm super excited to tell you that I've adopted a new pink puffle named 'Blossom'! She's fluffy and bouncy and I can't wait to show her off at the Puffle Party :). This edition of Featured Fashions is dedicated to all you puffle super-fans who like to show the world how much you love your pets!
I think Arhan20 looks so ace with his blue hair, shades, and guitar! I'm sure he loves to rock out with his blue puffle; the red cape looks super cool too!
Brookestar54 must love her pink puffle as much as I love mine! The 'The Twilight Sky' hair goes so lovely with the pink boa and t-shirt. Pink pink pink – looks brill!
Pink and yellow- my two favourite colours! Ghada 898, I really like your boa and checked shoes! I have to ask though… Is that candy floss for me or your yellow puffle? YUM! XD
Make way for some super-cool -ness! Megan74850 looks epic in the green 'Pattys Hat!' and matching green puffle T-shirt. Are you listening to 'Gotta Have a Wingman' on that iPod? :p LOL
Thanks for being puffle-tastic! I'm off to give Blossom a tour of the Island :) Don't forget to leave your nominations for Featured Fashions in the comments below; I'd also love to know the names of your puffles, and what you get up to together!

Attention agents,
Are you excited for a new phase of the Elite Penguin Force ? You should be! The team's got great stuff in the works for Elite Agents...
Construction is in full swing to fix up the EPF's headquarters. Thanks to everyone who let us know what they think the new and improved Command Room will look like.
Now, what about spy equipment?
That's right - the Spy Phone is getting an upgrade. What kinds of new features would you like to see in the new model? And what do you think of the new look? Let us know in the comments below.
Agent Polo, over and out.

Hey penguins,
Thanks for all the LOLs on our last Reviewed by You post, where I asked you to share your favorite joke. There were some great silly jokes in there. I liked this one from Disneyfan318 :
"My joke is, why are ghosts bad liars? ANSWER: Because you can see right though them! =)"
Nice one, Disneyfan318. We added 10,000 coins to your account for having your comment featured this week!
Okay, now it's time for this week's Reviewed By You. By now many of you have figured out that Card-Jitsu Snow is totally different from the other Card-Jitsu games. No more fire-beats-snow, snow-beats-water, water-beats-fire. In this game, all the elements work together to defeat snow villains and restore the balance.
You've also probably noticed that this game is a bit more complicated - everyone on the board has different move and attack ranges, different ninjas have different Power Card attacks, and combos give ninjas extra boosts. So this week we want to know: What's your Card-Jitsu Snow strategy?
We'll pick one of our favorite comments to be featured on the blog in our next Reviewed By You. If your comment is featured like Disneyfan318's was this week, we'll add 10,000 coins to your account!
Happy strategizing... and Waddle On!

Hey penguins,
It's been a busy week here at Club Penguin, and we wanted to give you an update on the big Card-Jitsu Snow Beta Test!
We've received thousands of comments since the beta test launched last week. Thanks for sending in your comments and the bugs you've seen - keep it up!
Did you know that we track every bug we find? Bug tracking and bug squashing is a very important part of making a game! See the picture below? The red line is the number of bugs we wrote up for tracking, and the green line is the number of bugs we've squashed! Pretty cool, huh?
Here are a few of the bigger bugs that you've let us know about:
#1094 - Users seeing only background art in game if Snow player exits before loading screen
#1090 - Users are able to enter Bonus Round even if player is KO'd during game
#1042 - Music will occasionally double up in game - multiple tracks will play at once
#993 - Game occasionally "freezes" while playing - users must exit game

Recall attempt not the way to go
The recall effort initiated last week involving West Fargo City Commissioner Brenda Warren was ludicrous at best.
Recall is serious business and something typically reserved for individuals believed to be engaged in blatant wrongdoing.
The only 'wrongdoing' Warren can be accused of is her zealous stance on implementing a citywide smoking ban that will improve public health for everyone.

PostPartisan - Sabotaging the Tea Party
I read the first paragraph of the article and thought there might be some chance the the Washington Post actually had an informative article without spouting the normal brainwashing garbage, but then I kept reading.
Interesting concept though. What do you guys think? Discrediting the Tea Party by infiltraing them and making them look like crazy extremists?
The author did have a few interesting points. Now you give them the chance to say "[Tea Party opponents] can't actually debate our message." ...so they have to resort to this to discredit us...
The author didn't like that statement, but you don't see anyone trying because they know they can't argue with "we want you to spend less money!"
Here is the whole text:
In the age of the Internet, every action has a disproportionate and outrageous reaction.
See, for example, the toxic -- and tactically stupid -- response to the rise of the Tea Party that one activist is cooking up. Jason Levin has dedicated himself to destroying the movement, and part of his strategy is publicly declaring that he and his allies are infiltrating the Tea Party:
Whenever possible, we will act on behalf of the Tea Party in ways which exaggerate their least appealing qualities (misspelled protest signs, wild claims in TV interviews, etc.) to further distance them from mainstream America and damage the public's opinion of them. We will also use the inside information we have gained in order to disrupt or derail their plans.
As if the Tea Party's fringy elements needed any help. Before this, the dishonest critic could simply point to the scary, straw-man caricature that could be painted of the Tea Party's most extreme elements on behalf of the rest of the movement. (Common cheap shot: "Look! They're just racists!") And more honest critics could cite both anecdote and poll data to question how mainstream the movement really is. (And mainstream it ain't.)
But Levin and his band are now trying to out-distort the death panel crowd. And the right is trumpeting news of this "crash the Tea Party" effort, because it gives Tea Partyers a way to blame the ugly antics at their rallies on malicious outsiders. Americans might be more willing to believe that the clownish behavior they see at Tea Party rallies is actually the work of Manchurian candidates. Also, representatives of the movement, such as Connecticut organizer Bob MacGuffie, get to say things such as this to the Associated Press: "[Tea Party opponents] can't actually debate our message." Actually, Bob, they're not even trying to take you on intellectually -- though that is surely doable. Which is exactly why this tactic is so despicable.
In some ways, this episode reminds me of the ACORN gotcha tapes, the mastermind of which later got caught allegedly sneaking into the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). Both involve individuals cutting ethical corners to kneecap those they see as ideological opponents. The Tea Party movement, too, feeds off of this preference for angry, ill-considered reaction over constructive engagement.
What to make of this political vigilantism? It's partly a natural effect of the Internet lowering the cost of independent political activity. And it's partly due to Americans losing faith in social institutions such as political parties.
Commentators on the right and the left variously defend the activation of rowdy populists in the Tea Party, among the netroots and elsewhere. But as the Tea Party's misbehavior -- and that of those rising up in reaction to it -- demonstrates, there is a troubling dark side to this activism, too.

Moon. Glorious moon. Full, Fat Reddish moon, the night as light as day, the moonlight flooding down across the land and bringing joy, joy, joy. If such words had been said to her Majesty, Princess Luna 1,000 years ago. Maybe she wouldn't have gotten jealous and Nightmare Moon would never had came to existence. But I'm not hunting Nightmare Moon. No, I'm hunting somepony even worst. A sick, twisted, depraved, monster who kills with little to no remorse. And if you met her before, you wouldn't believe she was one of the same. And sickest thing is, I can sorta relate to her. Who am I? Well, that would give away the ending now wouldn't it. All you need to now right now is that you should never judge a fanfic by it's title.
And there she is now. Ms. Pinkamena Diane Pie. Or as she's known around here, Pinkie Pie. Don't let that kooky, fun-lovin' smile fool you, That's the smile of a killer.
I've been waiting years for this one! Waiting and watching. Watching and waiting. The Dark Saddle-rider will be pleased with her! Just gonna slowly and carefully now...BAM! In goes the needle full of morphine. Knocking her unconscious.
And soon the real fun can begin!
A couple hours later, Pinkie has finally gained consciousness. She looks around and finds herself in a dark(but strangely familiar) room. She tries to move her body but finds that a bunch of plastic wrap has held her head and body firmly in place. She tries to scream but the duct tape on her mouth makes that entirely impossible.
"Goodie, you're wake. Now we can get started," I said to her after just finishing my bran flavored baked good. I step out of the shadows while bringing out a small cart covered with a cloth.
"Dmmmmm Wmmmmm?!" Pinkie muffled.
"Yep, it's me alright! And I bet you're wondering what's going on?" I asked her. To which she tries to shake her head. I then rip off the duct tape and say, "payback, of course!"
"Payback!? For what?!" She screamed."I've done nothing wrong!" I laugh at such an obvious fib."Nothing wrong? Really? Tell me Pinkie, does this place seem familiar to you?"
Pinkie then looks around, or at least as best she could given her current predicament. The room was decorated with a typical but twisted Pinkie Pie flair. Colorful streamers of dried entrails fluttered around the ceiling, brightly painted skulls of all sizes were attached to the walls, and organs done up in pastels filled with helium were tied to the backs of chairs. The tables and chairs were made of bones and and the preserved flesh of past ponies. I pointed to the center piece of the table nearest to her. The heads of four foals, their eyes closed as if they were sleeping, were wearing party hats made from there own skin. her eyes then darted back and forth and then fell upon a patchwork banner hanging from the rafters. Made from several pony hides, the words "Life is a party" were scrawled on it in blood red. And all of this was covered by a thin layer of plastic wrap.
"Well the plastic wrap wasn't here the last I-I mean, why have you brought me here? What is this horrible place!?" Pinkie Pie screamed. Dammit! I almost had her!
"Well then, what do think of my new dress?" I asked, reviling a dress quilted from dried skin, emblazoned with cutie marks. On the back of it fluttered six pegasus wings, all of different colors. As I walked around her, the necklace of severed unicorn horns clacked together loudly. the dress was complimented with a pair of work gloves that were on my hoofs and a clear glass wielding helmet resting on my head.
"Well for starters the gloves and helmet do not go with the dress. I mean, I may not be Rarity, But I did not make that dress just for you uglify the shit out of it- I mean, what the hell kind of sicko are you, wearing something like that! Do you have no shame?" Well this is getting us nowhere fast! I guess it's time for plan C.
"Well then, if that's you answer I guess I'm just gonna have the do this!" I pull a rope, reviling what appears to be Rainbow Dash. only she had a big stitch mark across her belly, her cutie mark was missing and her wings seem to have disappeared.
"Wha-what have you done to Rainbow Dash?" She said in a very convincing faux concern, this must be how she got away with it for so long.
"Oh! I didn't do this to Rainbow Dash. You did!"
"Me!? I didn't do this!!" Again in such a convincing manner you'd swear she was actually pony. If I wasn't in such a hurry I probably ask for lessons.
"Oh please. You and I both know that's a load of shit!"
"No really!! I had nothing to do with this!"
"Then how do you explain the words Dearest Dashie: Thank you for letting me cut off your cutie mark and wings, eat a part of you, nail hot coals into you, electrocute you and finally rip out your major organs one by one. It was fun! Hope we can do it again sometime! Luv Pinkie Pie written on her in dried blood?"
Oh for the love of..."Celestia dammit! Just confess already!"
"Alright I admit it! I DID IT! I KILLED HER!" She finally screamed, taking me back a little."I did it, alright! And you know what? She's not the only one! I've killed hundreds of ponies. Unicorns, Earth Ponies, Pegasus, little colts, I even killed a Griffon once. I slaughtered and ate them all! And I don't a damn bit sorry. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR!!!"
"Yes, thank you." Was all I could say on the matter."Just one question. Why? Why would you do such a thing to so many innocent ponies?"
"Why? BECAUSE I CAN! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO KILL SOMEPONY! THE RUSH YOU GET FROM CUTTING SOMEPONY OPEN LIKE A BIRTHDAY PRESENT! THE POWER YOU FEEL WHEN YOU TAKE SOMEPONIES' LIFE AND JUST",she pause a bit,"SNUFF IT OUT!"
"Oh yes I do." I stated while pulling the duct tape back over her mouth."Cause, just like you, I feel empty inside. However, unlike you, I have standards!"
I then grabbed the cloth and whipped it off the cart. On the cart was a tray containing various sharp medical tools and knives, carefully organized and wickedly sharp, it almost gave me a wingboner! On the tray was also an assortment of trash bags.
She was in full panic mode now. Her muffled screams start to fill the room. To think, her own tools of killing were about to be used to do her in, it was to laugh!
I then take the surgical knife and run it across her cheek. She hisses in pain as the blood was running down her face. I take a eyedropper to suck up some of the blood and put it between two sheets of glass.
"So," I said pulling the wielding mask down on my face and holding a hacksaw."Shall we get this party started?"
"Dmmmmmm?" Pinkie muffled what I believe to have been my name.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Mm wmmm tm gmm hmmm,"
"What that? You want to go home?" She then nods her head."Yeah, I can see wanting to do that. Sometimes, I just wanna give up, just say 'I'm done with this mess' and go to bed. But you know what? You can't just shrug of your responsibilities. You got to pull yourself up and meet the challenges head on." I look at her with my now uncrossed eyes."That's the only way you're gonna get ahead in life."
And with that, I went to work.

Of one mind about chemical weapons and protecting the innocent
Probable evidence of chemical-gas use in Syria may soon force world leaders to intervene. Their decision should be based on a principle enshrined in a global ban of such weapons – a respect for the innocence of civilians in not being harmed by this indiscriminate tool of war.
From afar, the probable use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime could seem like just more Middle East mayhem. Yet it is not. Which is why President Obama and other world leaders are contemplating stiff action in Syria based on evidence of at least one sarin-gas attack.
More than other tools of war, chemical weapons are indiscriminate in what they strike. Poisonous gases can float anywhere. They can wipe out entire populations of civilians, either by design or a change of wind. Even the weapon's users might be hit.
For these reasons, nations have gradually agreed since 1899, or at the dawn of modern warfare, to tougher sanctions against these tools of destruction. In 1997, the Chemical Weapons Convention came into force with the support of 188 states.
This steady toughening of rules is not simply because of the immense fear such weapons evoke by their effects. It is because enough people have made a conscious choice to protect the innocent – or the very idea of innocence as the preferred condition of every human being.
As humanitarian scholar Hugo Slim wrote in a 2008 book about civilian protection, "The main idea behind limited war and its civilian ethic is, of course, that of limited killing. This is because every human being's life is precious to themselves, to those who love them and, if one is religious, to God as well."
As the United States and others now debate their next steps in Syria, this century-long progress toward a near-universal acceptance of protecting the innocent from an indiscriminate weapon should be a guiding principle.
Mr. Obama and others, of course, have strategic and tactical concerns. Would outside intervention cause even more use of chemical weapons? Would a foreign invasion lead to high civilian casualties? Can an over-indebted and war-weary Europe or US afford to act?

Uses of GBIF in scientific research

Compositional shifts in Costa Rican forests due to climate-driven species migrations
(Journal name unavailable from Mendeley API. To be updated soon...)
Species are predicted to shift their distributions upslope or poleward in response to global warming. This prediction is supported by a growing number of studies documenting species migrations in temperate systems but remains poorly tested for tropical species, and especially for tropical plant species. We analyzed changes in tree species composition in a network of 10 annually-censused 1-ha plots spanning an altitudinal gradient of 70-2800m elevation in Costa Rica. Specifically, we combined plot data with herbarium records (accessed through GBIF) to test if the plots' community temperature scores (CTS, average thermal mean of constituent species weighted by basal area) have increased over the past decade as is predicted by climate-driven species migrations. In addition, we quantified the contributions of stem growth, recruitment, and mortality to the observed patterns. Supporting our a priori hypothesis of upward species migrations, we found that there have been consistent directional shifts in the composition of the plots, such that the relative abundance of lowland species, and hence CTS, increased in 90% of plots. The rate of the observed compositional shifts corresponds to a mean thermal migration rate (TMR) of 0.0065°C yr−1 (95% CI = 0.0005 - 0.0132°C yr−1). While the overall TMR is slower than predicted based on concurrent regional warming of 0.0167°C yr−1, migrations were on pace with warming in 4 of the 10 plots. The observed shifts in composition were driven primarily by mortality events (i.e., the disproportionate death of highland vs. lowland species), suggesting that individuals of many tropical tree species will not be able to tolerate future warming and thus their persistence in the face of climate change will depend on successful migrations. Unfortunately, in Costa Rica and elsewhere, land area inevitably decreases at higher elevations; hence, even species that are able to migrate successfully will face heightened risks of extinction

Tree squirrels: A key to understand the historic biogeography of Mesoamerica?
Mammalian Biology.
A multi-taxon historical biogeography approach (Brooks Parsimony Analysis) was used to estimate rela- tionships among the Mesoamerican lowland and highland areas and the particular biogeographic history of Mesoamerican squirrels (Sciurus, Microsciurus and Syntheosciurus species). A total of 15 lowland areas and 12 highland areas plus 41 clades comprising 240 species (45,135 records) were employed to obtain Taxon-Area Cladograms and Area Cladograms. A single most parsimonious General Area Cladogram indi- cated a strong vicariant relationship between Southern Mexico and the remainder of Mesoamerica, and identified several vicariant nodes (Modern Chiapanencan Volcanic Arc, Honduras' Great Central Depres- sion, and Nicaraguan Depression) as well as historically independent highland areas. A secondary BPA in relation with Sciurus species showed several instances of post speciation dispersal or range expansion, lack of response to vicariant events, and, possibly, lineage duplication. The results obtained suggest that Mesoamerican biotas have been subjected to several major vicariant events, but the reticulated nature of some of its areas also indicates that dispersal (post-speciation dispersal and range expansion) had been important in the diversification of the Mesoamerican biota. This trend was also observed in the particular biogeographic history of Mesoamerican tree squirrels.

An update on the myxomycete biota (Amoebozoa: Myxogastria) of Colombia
Check List 8(4) 617-619.
Twelve new records of myxomycetes are reported for Colombia. These additions increase the number of myxomycetes known from this country to 108 species. Since the Colombian territory is part of a biodiversity-rich region in the heart of the Neotropics, the present effort may be considered as a minor contribution. However, due to scarcity of myxomycete research in this country and the importance of inventories involving microorganisms for such purposes as restoration ecology and ecosystem functioning projects, the data presented herein represent a necessary contribution to an understudied aspect of tropical ecology

We needed a 106" wide verticl blind. I was told from local stores that we needed a special track to support the load over the whole width. Most quotes were for over $400. We ordered from Blinds Galore for $198 and it worked perfect. Installation was fairly easy. I think mine was more difficult than others just because of the long track.

POSTED: Friday, May 3, 2013 - 7:00pm
UPDATED: Friday, May 3, 2013 - 7:04pm
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The shooting of a two-year-old girl by her five-year-old brother has put a spotlight on smaller guns designed for children.
The gun used in the recent shooting in Kentucky was a Crickett .22-caliber rifle, marketed with the slogan "My First Rifle," from Keystone Sporting Arms in Milton, Pa. The single-shot rifle uses the smallest caliber available and is sold by major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Cabela's and Gander Mountain.
The Crickett website was down Friday due to "difficulties," according to John Renzulli, an attorney representing Keystone. But the site for Chipmunk, another Keystone brand, exhibited "quality firearms for America's youth" on its site, including .22-caliber rifles and pistols, with photos of children shooting them. The site includes a "kids corner" section.
Renzulli insisted that the company is not marketing firearms to children.
"No one's marketing to children," he said. "They're marketing to parents who would buy guns for children."
On its website, Wal-Mart markets the Crickett as a "youth rifle," while Gander Mountain's site describes it as a "great beginner's gun."
"All are lightweight and easy for youngsters to carry at the range and in the woods," reads the Crickett description on Cabela's site, which describes it as "a fun firearm to get your young shooter started with."
Wal-Mart and Gander Mountain did not immediately comment on whether their policy on sales of guns for children would change. Cabela's did not return a request for comment.
Lawrence Keane, vice president and spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry group, described the youth firearm market as a relatively small slice of the gun industry, though large enough to have plenty of participants.
"A number of manufacturers make youth models of firearms for parents to purchase to introduce their children to adult-supervised target shooting," said Keane. "Millions of families all across America participate in the shooting sports as a family recreational activity. Children cannot purchase firearms from licensed dealers, of course."
Keane said safety has improved in recent years, saying data show that accidental fatalities involving firearms and children younger than 14 dropped by more than half over two decades to about 600 in 2009, the most recent year for available data.
Brian Rafn, gun industry analyst and director of research at Morgan Dempsey Capital Management, described the youth gun segment as a small enough portion of the $4 billion industry to call it a "ghost market." He added that most states won't issue a hunting license to children younger than 10.
"I don't know of any state, and I've been hunting for 30 years, that would allow an armed five-year-old out in the woods during hunting season," he said. "In Wisconsin where I go hunting, if you were found out in the woods with a five-year-old with a gun, the game warden would have you in cuffs."

For Americans, who by now have seen waves of apologies from public figures like Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Tiger Woods, it may be easy to overlook this unusual contrition in one of the world's toughest neighborhoods. Yet humility, vulnerability, and making amends is just what the Middle East needs to deal with its intense, long-lasting conflicts.
If apologies are heartfelt, they can have real healing power. They bring trust and honesty to a relationship, even if they are not made by the perpetrator but simply on behalf of a country or institution.
They can help prevent a repeat of an offense. And they are better still if they also come with some restorative justice. Libya's leader, for example, promises to cooperate with the United States in bringing the embassy attackers to justice.
Postwar Germany set a high standard for the world in its apologies for Nazi atrocities. In 1970, German Chancellor Willy Brandt dropped to his knees during a visit to a memorial for Polish Jews killed during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943.

Sleep Train Arena, Sacramento, CA
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Brandon Roy is starting to feel good again, one reason why recent opponents have been left feeling badly after facing the Portland Trail Blazers.
Back in a groove after missing considerable time with a hamstring injury, Roy scored 28 points on Friday night for the Blazers, who led practically from start to finish in beating the Sacramento Kings 110-94 for their third straight victory.
It was the 400th career victory for Blazers coach Nate McMillan, but perhaps a bigger cause for celebration in Portland is Roy's confident play. The result is showing up in the win column, where Portland has an 8-2 record since losing to Utah on Feb. 21.
Coming off his fourth career 40-plus game Thursday night when he scored 41 points to halt a nine-game losing streak at Golden State, Roy got going early against the Kings. He had 13 points in the opening quarter, overshadowing Tyreke Evans, the Kings' heralded rookie.
"Coming back from the injury, some games you feel on and some games you feel nasty," Roy said. "My confidence is coming back and so is the swagger, which gives the team some swagger as well. We're starting to get healthy and teams are seeing that we are dangerous."
Roy had 20 points by halftime and was content to let his teammates carry the offensive load in the second half. A smooth-shooting, fourth-year guard, Roy made 10-of-13 shots, both 3-point attempts, and connected on all seven free throws.
"He played at his own pace," said Evans, who had a rare off-game with 10 points, 10 rebounds and five turnovers. "He's an All-Star and that's what he's going to do."
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 18 points, Andre Miller had 15 and Nicolas Batum added 11 for Portland, which never let the lead dip close to single digits in an uninspired fourth quarter by both teams.
Ahead by 15 at the half, the Trail Blazers came out strong in the third quarter in building the lead to as high as 26 points. Following a quiet first half with two points, Aldridge scored 12 in the period as Portland went ahead 87-66.
"The last two games I've had slow first halfs, so in the third quarter I was looking for my shot and trying to get going," Aldridge said.
Carl Landry had 18 points and Francisco Garcia scored 17 for the Kings, who committed 20 turnovers and have dropped four of five. Jason Thompson scored 15 points and Beno Udrih had 13.
"I thought the Blazers' defense was very aggressive and took away a lot of our first options," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "We responded like a team [due to trades] that's been together for 12 games, which is what we are."
The victory kept the Blazers four games ahead of Memphis in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Blazers, who have won six of seven games, are a season-high 12 games over .500 at 40-28.
Although he knew victory number 400 could arrive against the Kings, McMillan didn't share the information with his team until after the game.
"I don't look at my record, I look at my team," said McMillan, who is in his 10th season as a head coach. "I just want to win and win big. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to coach in 400 wins."
The Kings had a brief 7-5 lead in the opening quarter, but the advantage was fleeting. The Blazers frustrated the Sacramento defense repeatedly and also visited the free throw line frequently in building the sizable lead by halftime.
The frustration boiled over for Westphal late in the third quarter. Following a foul call against Kings reserve guard Garrett Temple with 1.1 seconds left, Westphal strolled up the sideline and told referee Derek Richardson that, "You guys are worse than we are tonight."
The Kings look at Portland and the team's progress under Roy and hope they can emulate it with Evans leading the way. Roy was Rookie of the Year in 2006-07 and has played a major role in the past three years in transforming the Blazers from a former lottery team to last year's Northwest Division co-champs.
A rookie from Memphis, Evans was coming off his first career triple-double, getting 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday in a convincing win over Toronto.
"We shadowed him in transition and wanted to keep in front of him in the half court," McMillan said. "We wanted to keep in front of him not let him in the paint."
The Blazers led 61-46 at halftime. Landry had 12 points for the Kings, who shot nearly 53 percent but committed 10 turnovers.
Game notes
The Blazers had just two turnovers in the opening half and made all 17 free throws. Kings rookie Jon Brockman has missed the last 12 games with a sprained right knee suffered in practice Feb. 19. The Blazers made 29 of 32 free throws.

5 Razer did it again!BlankPlanet | 21/06/2010 | See all BlankPlanet's reviews (1)Last year I bought a gaming PC and all the accessories I got with it were made by Razer. The mouse I had at the time was the Mamba, but a few days ago I decided to give the Imperator a go. To me, it's like they took the Mamba and made it better. The overall design is great for the palm, there's also a useful thumb groove. A problem I had with the Mamba was that my thumb would occasionally scrape my mat, but no longer with the Imperator. You can also change the DPI settings to your liking, for example, some mice, like the Abyssus, have pre-set DPIs, but with this you can tailor to your exact needs. Two buttons on the top of the mouse change the DPI up and down, there's also a handy on-screen display of what your current DPI is. The two side-buttons can also be moved towards the front or back of the mouse. I was surprised to see how sturdy the mechanism was, at first I was a bit sceptical. To me, it's not a big deal, but obviously it depends on your game or style.This is a pricey mouse, but trust me, it's worth it. If you feel that it's still too much then I would recommend looking at other Razer products such as the Deathadder or Abyssus. Razer products may not be the cheapest PC accessories, but they are well worth the money you put down for them.
5 Totally worth the money!ApfelGanja | 03/07/2011 | See all ApfelGanja's reviews (1)I've been a gamer for years and for the past two years i have been playing using Roccat peripherals. Those are very performant and well priced (40 euro for mouse and 60 for a great keyboard) and i've been happy with them. But my mouse has a few issues with it and the Arvo keyboard is just too small. So i decided to switch to Razer. I got the Imperator and the Arctosa and I'm impressed. the Imperator fits well in my hand for both palm and claw grip. It has a maximum DPI setting of 5600dpi and it can be changed at any time in-game, which is not possible on some mice. The only issue is that sometimes i press the backwards button by accident on the mouse, but i still believe, that for FPS gamers, this is Razer's best :)
