Marshall.He could be returned to Auburn for his court appearance as early as Wednesday, said Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson.Leonard faces three counts of capital murder and two counts of assault, Dawson said. "You can't run but for so long," the police chief said. "We were going to pursue until we caught him."Dawson also addressed the families of the victims."I know your young men won't be coming home, but hopefully this arrest will give you some closure. It's not over. We're going to continue to investigate this case," he said.Just WatchedMultiple victims in Auburn shootingreplayMore Videos ...Multiple victims in Auburn shooting 02:17PLAY VIDEOThe development came hours after a small army of law enforcement officers swarmed a Montgomery home where Leonard was believed to be hiding and came up empty-handed.Police surrounded and searched the house for more than six hours, spraying "a powerful dose" of tear gas in hopes of flushing out the man.They scaled down their efforts at the house Tuesday after they could not find Leonard.The officers from local, state and federal agencies looked frustrated, CNN affiliate WFSA reported.Police defended the raid at a news conference early Tuesday after reports surfaced that they had gone to the wrong house and used excessive force.Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy said he had every reason to believe Leonard had once been in the attic. Police called on him to come out. They did not get a response, although they heard coughing and detected movement in the attic.By the time they launched a raid on the house, the suspect was gone."We didn't go into that house foot by foot. We took it inch by inch," Murphy said. "We didn't want anybody else to get hurt. We did everything right."Police received three calls about Leonard being in the area; the third was from a woman who owned the house. She said she returned from work to find a man who looked like the suspect sitting on her couch, said Montgomery Mayor Tommy Strange.She then ran out to her car and called police, he said.Saturday night's shootings took place at an off-campus apartment complex in Auburn, about 50 miles east of Montgomery. The dead included two former Auburn football players. A current football player was among the wounded. "This has been an incredibly difficult 72 hours," Gene Chizik, Auburn's head football coach, told reporters Tuesday. "The whole Auburn family is devastated.""We've got a road ahead of us right now, and it's a long road of grieving," he said.Police had posted a $30,000 reward for information on Leonard's whereabouts.Two other men have been jailed on charges of hindering prosecution in the case.Auburn police said one of those arrested, Jeremy Thomas, 18, left the scene of the shootings with Leonard. Montgomery police say Gabriel Thomas, 41, tried to mislead investigators during the search, and they arrested him Sunday at the request of U.S. Marshals. Police did not immediately disclose the relationship, if any, between the two men. Both were arrested in Montgomery, but Jeremy Thomas was expected to be transferred to a jail in Lee County, which includes Auburn, police said.Officers received a call reporting the shooting at the University Heights apartments clubhouse about 10:03 p.m. Saturday, Auburn Police Chief Dawson said Sunday.Arriving officers found Edward Christian, 20, dead at the scene. Christian, of Valdosta, Georgia, was off the football team because of an injury, Dawson said. Former player Ladarious Phillips, 20, and Auburn resident Demario Pitts, 20, died later at a hospital, he said.Two others, including current Auburn sophomore offensive lineman Eric Mack, 20, of Cameron, South Carolina, were taken to East Alabama Medical Center in the nearby town of Opelika.Mack was released from the medical center Sunday morning, while another man, Xavier Moss, 19, was treated and released from the same facility. A third man, John Robertson, 20, was transferred to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, where he was in critical condition after being shot in the head.Leonard and two other men were thought to have fled the scene in a white Chevrolet Caprice, authorities said. Police later found the car abandoned in an adjacent county, Dawson said.Police have a motive in the shooting, but Dawson would not release it, saying "that's for the courtroom, later on." He did say authorities believe gunfire erupted during a fight at a party. Several media outlets cited witnesses as saying the altercation was over a woman.Witness Turquorius Vines told CNN affiliate WGCL the violence was sudden."It went from us chilling with all these females to a massacre for no reason at all," he said.More from us2 Ferguson police officers quit; court clerk fired after Justice reportMenéndez responde a cargos de corrupciónLaGuardia runway reopens after Delta flight skids off itPowered by Livefyre

Superpitcher, 'Kilimanjaro' (Kompakt)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Long the poster boy for techno's New Romantic faction, Aksel "Superpitcher" Schaufler emerges as an eccentric dandy on his first solo album in six years. Drinking in Depeche Mode, Grace Jones, and even Pink Floyd, his lush, moody beats blossom into wayward disco pop. From the nursery-rhyme dub of "Voodoo" to the paranoid slip and slide of "Rabbits in a Hurry," he knows the importance of a good hook and a better synth patch. But these idiosyncratic tracks, each suggesting its own world, point to a universe that exists far beyond the dance floor.

Scientist Susie Jahren demonstrates a self-healing liquid polymer coating. Photo: Werner Juvik.
Self-repair is one of the most promising functions of smart materials, and is now represented by a variety of material families including plastic and concrete. The capability to autonomically heal results in materials that can last longer without maintenance, and which demand fewer resources for structural applications.
Recently, SINTEF scientist Susie Jahren and her research team have created a self-repairing textile. Designed for professional fishermen whose attire takes a beating at sea, Jahren's textile coating self-heals small tears that develop in the surface of waterproof clothing.
"We have shown that the principle works. Holes and tears we have made in test pieces in the lab close up all on their own," Jahren says.
To create the coating, the scientists added micro-capsules of healing agent to liquid polyurethane. When the polyurethane hardens, it forms a resilient surface that bonds with the textile. Jahren explains that "if the coating tears, the capsules burst in the damaged area. Here the sealant content is released and hardens when it comes in contact with water and air, so the coating seals itself."
Since traditional polyurethane poses health hazards, it would be ideal if Jahren's team could use an isocyanate-free or bio-based polyurethane resin. For now, the project is still in the laboratory testing phase.
"In this project we are at the same time developing durable coatings intended to reduce the likelihood of holes and tears occurring at all," Jahren says. "The garments we are developing for fishermen will also include integrated floatation functions. We also plan to incorporate a man-over-board button in the clothing which sets off an alarm enabling fishermen to be located rapidly in the event of an accident."

Re: Your Top 5 Youngsters to Watch in 2013
I think that all of the Junior Grand Slams winners/runner ups will be good.
I mean Townsend, Putintseva, Beck, Scmiedlova Bouchard, Svitolina, Crawford and Kontaveit would have to be a lot of people' best bets. Except for Vekic, Barty and Khromacheva I don't think there are any stars powering through except them. As for Sharipova, she has good game, but she has weak points, no head and bad movement
I still like her though
As for the Bouchard vs Svitolina thing, I think that Eugenie has more game but I think Elina will achieve more as she can play on all surfaces well as shown this year, whereas Bouchard is strictly Grass and Hard, not recording any amazing clay results
Anett+Kaia+Carol+Lera+Eva+Sofishka+Mattias+ Kenneth+Jürgen+Alexander
Kaia hit 24 Aces (the WTA record) vs Safarova Tokyo Round 1 2008

The symptoms often occur when the brakes are used heavily from repeated braking, braking from high speeds, and braking while going downhill. The entire vehicle can vibrate and shudder, like it is being driven over train tracks.

Land, sometimes referred to as dry land, is the solid surface of the Earth that is not permanently covered by water.[1] The vast majority of human activity occurs in land areas that support agriculture, habitat, and various natural resources.
Some life forms (including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals) have developed from predecessor species that lived in bodies of water to exist on land.
Areas where land meets large bodies of water are called coastal zones. The division between land and water is a fundamental concept to humans, and can have strong cultural importance. The demarcation between land and water varies by local jurisdiction. A maritime boundary is one such political demarcation. A variety of natural boundaries exist to help define where water meets land. Solid rock landforms are easier to demarcate than marshy or swampy boundaries, where there is no clear point at which the land ends and a body of water has begun. Demarcation can further vary due to tides and weather.
Etymology and terminology[edit]
The word 'land' derives from Middle English land, lond and Old English land, lond ("earth, land, soil, ground; defined piece of land, territory, realm, province, district; landed property; country (not town); ridge in a ploughed field"), from Proto-Germanic *landą ("land"), and from Proto-Indo-European *lendʰ- ("land, heath"). Cognate with Scots land ("land"), West Frisian lân ("land"), Dutch land ("land"), German Land ("land, country, state"), Swedish land ("land, country, shore, territory"), Icelandic land ("land"). Non-Germanic cognates include Old Irish lann ("heath"), Welsh llan ("enclosure"), Breton lann ("heath"), Old Church Slavonic lędо from Proto-Slavic *lenda ("heath, wasteland") and Albanian lëndinë ("heath, grassland") from lëndë ("matter, substance").
A continuous area of land surrounded by ocean is called a "landmass". Although it may be most often written as one word to distinguish it from the usage "land mass"—the measure of land area—it is also used as two words. Landmasses include supercontinents, continents, and islands. There are four major continuous landmasses of the Earth: Afro-Eurasia, Americas, Australia and Antarctica.
A country or region may be referred to as the motherland, fatherland, or homeland of its people. Many countries and other places have names incorporating -land (e.g. Iceland).
History of land on Earth[edit]
The earliest material found in the Solar System is dated to 4.5672±0.0006 bya (billion years ago);[2] therefore, the Earth itself must have been formed by accretion around this time. By 4.54±0.04 bya,[3] the primordial Earth had formed. The formation and evolution of the Solar System bodies occurred in tandem with the Sun. In theory, a solar nebula partitions a volume out of a molecular cloud by gravitational collapse, which begins to spin and flatten into a circumstellar disk, which the planets then grow out of in tandem with the star. A nebula contains gas, ice grains and dust (including primordial nuclides). In nebular theory, planetesimals commence forming as particulate accrues by cohesive clumping and then by gravity. The assembly of the primordial Earth proceeded for 10–20 myr.[4]
Earth's atmosphere and oceans were formed by volcanic activity and outgassing that included water vapor. The origin of the world's oceans was condensation augmented by water and ice delivered by asteroids, proto-planets, and comets.[5] In this model, atmospheric "greenhouse gases" kept the oceans from freezing while the newly forming Sun was only at 70% luminosity.[6] By 3.5 bya, the Earth's magnetic field was established, which helped prevent the atmosphere from being stripped away by the solar wind.[7]
The crust, which currently forms the Earth's land, was created when the molten outer layer of the planet Earth cooled to form a solid mass as the accumulated water vapor began to act in the atmosphere. Once land became capable of supporting life, biodiversity evolved over hundreds of million years, expanding continually except when punctuated by mass extinctions.[8]
The two models[9] that explain land mass propose either a steady growth to the present-day forms[10] or, more likely, a rapid growth[11] early in Earth history[12] followed by a long-term steady continental area.[13][14][15] Continents formed by plate tectonics, a process ultimately driven by the continuous loss of heat from the Earth's interior. On time scales lasting hundreds of millions of years, the supercontinents have formed and broken apart three times. Roughly 750 mya (million years ago), one of the earliest known supercontinents, Rodinia, began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia, 600–540 mya, then finally Pangaea, which also broke apart 180 mya.[16]
Land mass[edit]
"Land mass" refers to the total surface area of the land of a geographical region or country (which may include discontinuous pieces of land such as islands). It is written as two words to distinguish it from the usage "landmass" —the contiguous area of land surrounded by ocean.
The Earth's total land mass is 148,939,063.133 km2 (57,505,693.767 sq mi) which is about 29.2% of its total surface. Water covers approximately 70.8% of the Earth's surface, mostly in the form of oceans.
Cultural perspectives[edit]
Creation myths in many religions recall a story involving the creation of the world by a supernatural deity or deities, including accounts wherein the land is separated from the oceans and the air. The Earth itself has often been personified as a deity, in particular a goddess. In many cultures, the mother goddess is also portrayed as a fertility deity. To the Aztecs, Earth was called Tonantzin—"our mother"; to the Incas, Earth was called Pachamama—"mother earth". The Chinese Earth goddess Hou Tu[17] is similar to Gaia, the Greek goddess personifying the Earth. Bhuma Devi is the goddess of Earth in Hinduism, influenced by Graha. In Norse mythology, the Earth giantess Jörð was the mother of Thor and the daughter of Annar. Ancient Egyptian mythology is different from that of other cultures because Earth (Geb) is male and sky (Nut) is female.
In the past, there were varying levels of belief in a flat Earth. The Jewish conception of a flat earth is found in both biblical and post-biblical times.[note 1][note 2]
In early Egyptian[18] and Mesopotamian thought, the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean. The Egyptian universe was pictured as a rectangular box with a north-south orientation and with a slightly concave surface, with Egypt in the center. A similar model is found in the Homeric account of the 8th century BC in which "Okeanos, the personified body of water surrounding the circular surface of the Earth, is the begetter of all life and possibly of all gods."[19] The biblical earth is a flat disc floating on water.[20]
The Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts reveal that the ancient Egyptians believed Nun (the ocean) was a circular body surrounding nbwt (a term meaning "dry lands" or "islands"), and therefore believed in a similar Ancient Near Eastern circular Earth cosmography surrounded by water.[21][22][23]
The spherical form of the Earth was suggested by early Greek philosophers, a belief espoused by Pythagoras. Contrary to popular belief, most people in the Middle Ages did not believe the Earth was flat: this misconception is often called the "Myth of the Flat Earth". As evidenced by thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas, European belief in a spherical Earth was widespread by this point in time.[24] Prior to circumnavigation of the planet and the introduction of space flight, belief in a spherical Earth was based on observations of the secondary effects of the Earth's shape and parallels drawn with the shape of other planets.[25]
Extraterrestrial land[edit]
Most planets known to man are either gaseous or solid. The gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, are thought to have surface layers composed of liquid hydrogen rather than solid land; however, their planetary geology is not well understood. The possibility of Uranus and Neptune possessing hot, highly compressed, supercritical water under their thick atmospheres has been hypothesised. While their composition is still not fully understood, a 2006 study by Wiktorowicz et al. ruled out the possibility of such a water "ocean" existing on Neptune,[26] though some studies have suggested that exotic oceans of liquid diamond are possible.[27] The entire surface of a rocky planet or moon is considered land, even with a lack of seas or oceans for contrast.
- ^ The picture of the universe in Talmudic texts has the Earth in the center of creation with heaven as a hemisphere spread over it. Biblical writings, such as the Genesis creation story and the various Psalms that extol the firmament, the stars, the sun, and the earth, give similar explanations. The Hebrews saw the earth as an almost flat surface consisting of a solid and a liquid part and the sky as the realm of light in which heavenly bodies move. The earth rested on cornerstones and could not be moved except by Jehovah (as in an earthquake). According to the Hebrews, the sun and the moon were only a short distance from one another.

- ^ The Earth is usually described as a disk encircled by water. Cosmological and metaphysical speculations were not to be cultivated in public nor were they to be committed to writing. Rather, they were considered to be "secrets of the Torah not to be passed on to all and sundry" (Ketubot 112a). While study of God's creation was not prohibited, speculations about "what is above, what is beneath, what is before, and what is after" (Mishnah Hagigah: 2) were restricted to the intellectual elite.

Although many passengers praised the crew for their efforts under grim circumstances, others emerged from the ship harboring a deep sense of injury.
The Miami class-action suit is filed by Matt and Melissa Crusan of Oklahoma and on behalf of all other similarly-situated Triumph passengers.
It says the cruise line allowed a hazardous condition to exist on the ship and that officials "knew or should have known that the vessel Triumph was likely to experience mechanical and/or engine issues because of prior similar issues."
The suit says that after the fire Carnival officials decided to head to the closest port, Progreso, Mexico, 150 miles away. Later the plan changed and officials decided instead to tow the ship – and its passengers – 500 miles to Mobile.
"This decision was motivated solely by financial gain and Carnival's convenience," the suit says. "Were [the disabled ship] to have been towed back to Mexico, Carnival would have needed a second tow back to the United States at significant additional expense."
Although the cruise left from Galveston, Carnival towed the ship to Mobile, the location of a ship repair facility.
Lawyers say the decision to tow the ship to Alabama rather than a closer port intentionally exposed their clients to "many more days on the vessel than was reasonable and necessary."
The lawsuit, filed by Miami lawyer Michael Winkleman, charges Carnival with negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It seeks compensatory and unspecified punitive damages.
A second lawsuit, filed on behalf of passenger Cassie Terry of Texas also charges that Carnival endangered passengers by failing to tow the ship to the nearest port after the fire.

I'd lost count of how many times I've had to suffer though this damned dream, actually, nightmare would be a more fitting term. At least a hundred times I've had to put up with it, like an annoying younger sibling that just won't stop pestering me. Nothing about the nightmare ever changed, to was always the same replay of the pivotal moment of my life, a night I'm forced to live with for the remainder of my existence.
The dream always started in total darkness, a black that would make the void of the night sky seem like a sunny afternoon. The first glimmers of light were blurs of street lamps passing the glass of the car window.
I could hear whispering in the front seats, I didn't catch much of it. Phrases like "Are you sure this is the way?" and "Yeah, she said second left once you leave the tunnel." I could feel the car make a gentle curve to the left as I strained to see anything out the window, It pitch black out but I could see Sukumo Bay and the lights of Kashiwajima in the distance.
"Papa, I'm tired... how much further is it?" I asked the figure in the seat ahead of me. I couldn't see anything of my parents beyond their silhouettes. A warm chuckle rose up above the dull hum of the engine. "We're almost there, we probably would have been there sooner if your mother didn't drive like she was in a wheelchair."
The woman behind the wheel shot a glare in the other adult's direction, light shined off her glasses.
"You keep yappin' like that and it'll be you in that wheelchair... and it's not my driving that's the issue here, its daddy's inability to read a simple map."
"No fighting!" I protested. "I'm far too tired to have to deal with your bickering!" My statement trailed off into a yawn, rather strongly worded for a young girl of only seven.
The adults exchanged silent glances, I could easily tell what was on their minds, higher classed education for me.
My mother turned away from the wheel for a moment and stroked my head gently.
"We'll be at our new home soon, then you can have all the precious napping time you want." She smiles, her face was lit by an oncoming light from outside the car, as was my father's. They were both smiling at me. The smiles of my family. Smiles I would never forget...
...that was the last time I saw their smiles.
The next instant heralded a deafening symphony of twisting and buckling metal, an orchestra of shattering glass and explosions... and a choir of faint and brief screams of terror.
Our small family sedan weighed about two thousand kilograms, not including luggage. It might as well have been an origami duck when pitted against the brick wall of a truck hauling aviation fuel cells, easily at least several tonnes. I learned years later that the driver of the larger vehicle was killed instantly, a section of radiator replaced the space his head used to occupy. My family met a similar fate, their bodies were hardly recognizable. Nobody survived......excluding myself.
I regained consciousness a few dozen meters from the blazing wrecks in a mossy ditch. An algebraist would sit around for hours and rant about the astronomical odds, a priest would undoubtedly praise a deity about it being some kind of miracle... I just call it luck and chance. Despite all that had just transpired I was completely unharmed until a few of the fuel cells from the truck flung a small piece of metal at my face, my cheek wasn't exactly armour plated but I was in too much shock to feel anything, or the blood flowing down the side of my face and neck. I just sat there and stared at the fire, almost as if it were a family bonfire... which, in a sick, tormenting way... it was. Sirens blared in the distance as fire trucks and ambulances made their way up the coastal highway. It was far too late for them to be of any use other than to give me a lift to the nearest orphanage.
Feeling finally started to return to my body, I was painfully made aware of the wound on my face and the blood now staining my clothes... but there was something else, a strange warmth that dwarfed the blazing inferno only meters away. I managed to move my eyes to it's source, I was clutching something in my hand. The shimmering glow of the fire revealed that I was holding Mommy's hand...
...her severed hand.

Oft-lauded neofolk act Of the Wand & the Moon marginally lurks around the metal scene. This is likely to be because the man responsible for Of the Wand & the Moon, the bald-headed, bearded wonder Kim Larsen, has been in notorious metal acts such as Black Wreath, Saturnus and Blazing Eternity. Come to think of it though, a lot of metal acts seem to be into the whole neofolk trend, with bands citing acts such as Death in June, Current 93 and Sol Invictus as inspiration for some of their work. Regardless of how Of the Wand & the Moon found its way into the metal circle, "Hail, Hail, Hail", Larsen's 2005 EP, is a far cry from metal, any way you look at it.
Being two tracks and slightly over seven minutes long, this release is over before you know it: and therein lies one of my problems with this. The first track, and title inspiration for this release, "Hail, Hail, Hail" and the second track "Benediction Malediction", a Current 93 cover, seem like they were pulled from opposite ends of the earth. Mainly, there is no continuity between the tracks; there was nothing done to make these tracks flow together nicely. It's as if Kim Larsen had two extra tracks sitting around from two completely different recording sessions and said, "Hell, just toss together what I have left."
Rather than the typical folk inspired guitars, minimalistic drumming and odd instrumentation that usually comes with Of the Wand & the Moon's music, this EP shows Larsen playing a somewhat different style. The first track, "Hail, Hail, Hail", shows Larsen meddling with Egyptian and Middle Eastern drum rhythms behind a mellotron line, replete with whispered vocals. Musically, it sounds like Kamelot's introductions on "The Fourth Legacy" and "Karma", although less "epic" and grandiose. The vocals are nothing more than a breathy whisper and lack emotion of any kind, as they just kind of exist.
Larsen's cover of "Benediction / Malediction is odd to say the least. A humming, droning buzz sits in the back of the track that sounds like some type of synthesized didgeridoo notes, coupled with breathy sluices of dissonant noise. Apparently there are four vocalists on this track, but it doesn't help, as all four people just talk quietly about cursing everything in sight. I've never had the privilege to listen to the original Current 93 version, but if it sounds anything like this version I'm not wasting my time. A pointless track and three minutes of my life I will never get back.
Honestly, the track "Hail, Hail, Hail" isn't terrible. I can see how an album fleshed out in a similar style could be trance inducing or a relaxing trip into oblivion, but one track at three minutes long fails to deliver. "Benediction / Malediction" is a useless track and exists only to exist. There are only two reasons to buy this EP: you are so observed with Kim Larsen that you need to own everything he's ever touched or you're a diehard Current 93 fan and need to have everything ever associated with them. Overall, a pointless release.

Herbal potions by traditional healers promise potency to players and teams.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Despite an encouraging opening match draw with Mexico, the soothsayers at Johannesburg's Mai Mai market are worried about the South African national team's chances at the soccer World Cup.
Even their magic might not be enough to lift them to victory.
"I see Americans winning the World Cup," predicts Mbobo Zevovo, a "sangoma," or traditional healer and spiritual medium, who works from a small shop stocked with dried plants and animal bits hanging from the ceiling.
Zevovo foretells the future by listening to her ancestors and "throwing the bones," a process that involves scattering her pouch of small animal bones, seashells and dice, and interpreting their configuration.
Read all of GlobalPost's World Cup 2010 coverage
"But I don't know if it will be North or South Americans," she cautions, studying the bones spread across the floor. The clue she divines is that the team will be from a mainly Christian country. "Prayer is a strong component of the winning team," she says.
According to Zevovo, the South African players need powerful "muti," or traditional medicine, to protect themselves at the tournament. The Bafana Bafana squad will next play Uruguay on Wednesday.
For the soccer players who regularly visit Zevovo's shop looking for that extra edge — none of them professional-level players, she admits — she tells them to bathe with her special mixture of plants, to give them luck, make the opposition weak and "make obstacles go away."
Read more GlobalPost World Cup Coverage |
Muti, from the Zulu word for "tree," is an important traditional practice in southern Africa, with many South Africans seeking out traditional cures for common ailments ranging from rashes to erectile dysfunction, as well as for magical purposes such as bringing good fortune in love and business.
The practice is so widespread that Soweto's Soccer City, the stadium hosting the World Cup's most important matches, was blessed in a ceremony last month involving some 300 sangomas and other healers, and the slaughter of a cow.
Some believers think that muti can give South Africa's national team — an underdog at the World Cup, not expected to make it past the first round — a leg up in the tournament. Other African teams are also reputed to be seeking advice from traditional healers as part of their pre-World Cup match preparations.

Teachers Talking - one session only at 11:30 am
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 (Around 2 years ago)
Join us on Thursday, February 14 for Teachers Talking: The Heart of Gustavus' Liberal Arts. While an interdisciplinary approach to understand the world is an essential feature of the liberal arts, is it sufficient? Do we also expect our students to be prepared for civic engagement, professional achievement, and/or an interest in lifelong learning? If we do, how does a Gustavus liberal arts education prepare them for this? For this Valentine's Day Teachers Talking, please join colleagues for a conversation about the objectives and outcomes of a Gustavus liberal arts education. Discussion facilitated by Margaret Bloch Qazi (Biology and Kendall Center Director). One session only at 11:30 am. Free lunch at Three Crowns Buffet, meet in St. Peter Room.

Ok, not really. But it was close enough for me. (I hope this is in the right forum area)
For those who don't know, I started working again (part-time) for an armored transport company. IE-Armored Car, lots of money, and I look like a steak dinner to a lot of BG's.
Today, outside a bank, I was waiting for my messenger/jumper who was in the branch. Messenger/jumper is slang for the guy who gets in and out of the truck. Today, I was the driver.
While he's inside he radios me and tells me to be on the lookout for a guy in bib overalls, green shirt and with a large Army style duffle bag on his shoulder. Apparently the skel was giving the tellers in the bank the heebeegeebees and giving my jumper the evil eye (and then some). My jumper tells me to be ready, he is coming out soon and doesn't want to be surprised by duffle boy.
Duffle boy, at this point, is outside on the sidewalk and looking at a sign on the window. His back is towards the truck. He looks really shady, so I unholster my weapon and position myself at the gunport closest to him (which is in front of the bank on my passenger side). Later, I realize that he really wasn't reading the sign on the window. He was watching me in the reflection of the glass because......
He immediately turns around and starts staring at me. He knew I pulled my weapon and scooted closer. He will stand and stare for the next 5-7 minutes. I am not exaggerating, that is a long time. There is something wrong with this guy. He doesn't move during that time, just stares at me while I stare back.
I radio my jumper and give him a sit-rep. He tells me to get the city police on the phone and get one dispatched to our location. At this point the bank tellers are REALLY freaked out, according to my jumper.
I call 911, in full view of duffle boy (no reaction) and explain to her who I am, where I'm at, what I do (armored car), and what is happening. So what does the operator do?
In a condescending voice she says "So, he's staring at you". She made it a statement. She made it sound like Get over it, he's just staring.
I explain to her that my guy doesn't feel safe going out there and would like police presence. What does she do? Well, she doesn't dispatch an officer. She gets my phone number and tells me an officer will call me back. Unbelieveable!
I inform my jumper of what's going on and duffle boy starts walking west. He makes it about 1/2 a block, turns and starts staring again. I tell my jumper to stay inside.
BTW, my jumper is coming out with a lot of coin and currency. In other words, he has a lot of stuff to load up on the truck. Not like a usual stop with one or two items in his bag and he can just jump in.
Well, duffle boy makes it down the block and is approx. 1 1/2 blocks away. Still no call from the po-po at this point.
My jumper decides to chance it and exits the bank, loads up and we leave the area.
Halfway across town to our next stop we get a call from a police officer. I informed him what happened.
I also informed him that his dispatcher better take me (and the rest our our company) more seriously next time we call for back-up or assistance. In fact, I think my words to the officer were
"Do I have to get in a gunfight to get your dispatcher's attention?"
The officer appologized and stated that they (police) have issues with their dispatch, or words to that effect. He conveyed to me, not directly, that dispatch was lack luster in performance and/or judgement.
BTW, the officer was VERY professional and took my concerns seriously. He was not at all like the dispatcher.
So there's my long story with no shoot out. Thought some of you might find it interesting. We'll see what happens tommorow.
OMT-Oregon is just getting worse and worse for this stuff. We may not be as bad as Cali, but we're not in Kansas anymore.

The Legend Lives On
When late Apple CEO Steve Jobs passed away on Oct. 5, 2011, Tim Cook had some big shoes to fill. As Jobs' successor, he was tasked with maintaining that iconic Apple brand Jobs had worked so hard to build during his 14 years at the helm.
And now, one year later, it's obvious Cook can play the part. Whether it's the launch of the new iPhone 5 or Apple's high-stakes legal victory over archrival Samsung, Cook has not only retained Apple's massive fanbase but also helped it grow.
In honor of one of technology's greatest visionaries, here are 10 recent Apple milestones that would have done Steve Jobs proud.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans drew stark contrasts with Democrats on tricky budget issues as President Barack Obama came to the Capitol on Wednesday in a stepped-up effort to improve relations with lawmakers whose votes he needs to enact his second-term agenda.
Obama held a rare meeting with House Republicans geared at thawing political gridlock, even though he conceded in an interview airing hours earlier that a political accommodation may be impossible.
"It was good. I enjoyed it. It was useful," Obama said as he emerged from the roughly 90-minute meeting.
Many Republicans who long have chided Obama for failing to engage their party on the nation's biggest problems are applauding his newfound outreach, part of a concerted effort by the president to mend ties with Congress in hopes of reaching a grand compromise on fiscal issues.
Neither side is backing down from entrenched positions that have prevented deals in the past, a status quo scenario that Obama acknowledged could preclude any agreement.
"Ultimately, it may be that the differences are just too wide," he said in an interview broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"If their position is, 'We can't do any revenue,' or 'We can only do revenue if we gut Medicare or gut Social Security or gut Medicaid, if that's the position, then we're probably not going to be able to get a deal," he said.
The issues separating the two parties are the same as they have been all along — fundamental disagreements over whether to pair tax increases with budget cuts in an effort to rein in the nation's deficit.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and fellow Republicans put forward their 2014 budget fully mindful that it would be dead on arrival at the White House and in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The plan, which the White House immediately panned, doubles down on longstanding Republican proposals to slash funding for programs Obama and Democrats want to protect.
It includes a repeal of Obama's health care law, a major component of his tenure, and Medicare changes that would shift more of the cost to future patients.

My world was small.
I was alone.
No one to call my own.
My heart has been broken.
It has been destroyed.
I felt used, abused, and incomplete.
I had no one.
But in my lonely, painful world of light,
which was too bright,
A darkness fell.
It brought the light down and I liked it.
I sought out the source.
A boy lonely as me.
He felt my pain.
He told me I brought light to him.
I said he brought darkness to me.
We knew it was meant to be.
And now I sit upon a throne of light, lonely no longer.
No more pain.
I have you, my king of darkness, my love.
You make me complete.

Buns & Buns: Value-Priced Fresh Bread and Grilled Meats
Buns & Buns was something of a mystery for a while. Not much was known about the restaurant except its location, name, and a vague concept including bread and grilled meats. In fact, even the public relations firm hired to work with the place couldn't get a menu before it opened.Photos by Laine Doss The buns of Buns & Buns.
See also: Buns & Buns to Open in January 2014
When I finally walked into the small space that once housed OMG! Burgers and featured a presidential visit, I wasn't sure what to expect. Buns & Buns can be considered a fast-casual restaurant -- order at the counter, get a number, and wait for your food. The menu has a simple premise: Several proteins at three price points are offered, each with a side and a bun (which can be substituted for a different bread).
There are also some appetizers and salads (the only vegetarian options). All are priced by category, with bites offered at $5; salads at $10; grilled items at $10, $15, and $20; and desserts at $8. The restaurant also serves beer, wine, and cocktails. It should be noted that this is not a sandwich shop. You'll find no burgers, tuna melts, or turkey clubs. The menu clearly states that fact in case you didn't get it when perusing the options: "This, sir, is not a sandwich shop." Nevertheless, with a plate filled with grilled meat or seafood, slaw, and a warm bun, you'll catch on quickly that a fresh sammie is within reach.
The breads are baked daily and, as befits the name, are a focal point of the menu. Cravers of carbs can also purchase the buns individually ($1.50 each) as a snack or to take home. Once ordered, the food gets to your table quickly (mine took about ten minutes). When I arrived at 2:30 p.m. to taste some menu items, the restaurant was humming with a mix of moms picking up their kids from local schools and shoppers out for a late lunch. Here's what I tried:
Is the O'Pama cocktail a nod to when the president visited this location? I pondered the question while sipping a blend of Pama, sake, watermelon juice, and lime ($8).
The name sounds like something out of South Park, but spinach poofs, served on a bed of tahini, are a good start to a meal ($5).

Ok... my past experience taught me several things. One is that summer and warmer weather, the crime (esp violent crime) goes up.... more people out, etc. as well. So, I've heard many going to carrying pocket guns (less shots, smaller calibers, etc) during the summer for convenience when in truth, the likelihood is higher that we may encounter a situation where would need our guns for self-protection.
So, in winter, with few people out and less crime of this type, we carry larger guns, calibers, etc...
We all know this is out of comfort & convenience. It's easier to throw a pocket gun in our shorts during hot weather, etc. BUT , is that really the smart thing to do ? ? ? Are we defeating our purpose of carrying ? and reducing the odds for ourselves ??
So, I've been trying to do the opposite and figuring out ways to carry that I can wear my shorts, etc. and that I can carry my higher capacity / caliber guns, etc.
I would like to know what others have found that works.
I tried one thing when I want to wear cotton shorts... it's a nylon belt with the holster/gun attached to it .... with my shorts on the outside of it and the shirt over that, none of the weight of the gun is on the shorts... and found this works well.
A t-shirt 1 size up helps conceal better. Of course the Hawaiian shirts, a fanny pack carry, and a undershirt carry are others I use. One thing I have found myself doing is to have the gun IWB .... and the pocket carry on me as well.
What have you found or used ?

A Semantic Web Approach to Pattern Discovery in Data and Music
In Music Information Retrieval (MIR), as in many other research areas currently, there is an increasing push towards publishing metadata using the Resource Description Framework (RDF), as well as creating and re-using ontologies to make explicit the meaning of that data. Inevitably though, this metadata is created and/or interpreted using some form of signal processing or algorithmic computation, typically performed using technologies that sit outside of the Semantic Web domain. This usual approach ignores the fact that computations may be performed by the SPARQL query language, and that the web ontology language (OWL) offers the power of logical inferencing. In this paper we show that it is possible to implement a complete pattern discovery algorithm (the SIATEC algorithm), using purely the SPARQL query language, acting on RDF data in tandem with a small OWL ontology. We describe the challenges encountered by taking this approach, the particular solution we've arrived at, and we evaluate performance by comparing execution time against a more conventional implementation.

Im quoting a certain recent article... by David Suzuki. A rather nasty potential worst case scenario outcome of fukushima, wouldnt you say?
Despite how many cheerleaders in the US nuclear may have, the reality is that nuclear power as it stands right now is a damn liability, profitable only to those that benefict from the short-term gains, and not-competitive if we include costs and risks down the line. When we estimate that, due to human negligence we may have to evacuate whole countries due to one meager nuclear power plant, then its better to start considering alternatives, be it renewable or, if you keep hammering the nuclear key, just go thorium or fusion already (peak uranium/plutonium is already knocking at the door as production can't keep up with demand).
In my perspective, greed-versus-safety, the only safe place for present technology nuclear power plants to be place is in sterile, out-of-the-earth environments.
Put those dirty eyesores on the moon and just tight-beam the energy to earth. How competitive with plain solar power would that be then?
Ethanol is just a way to dump to excess produce, much like corn syrup instead of "true" sugar cane, or corn feeding livestock. It makes economic sense.
It would make environmental sense if all the wasted corn+vegetable matter were to be converted into full bio-fuels, not just blends - as long as one consider it a "waste", and not something that affects the price of foodstocks or arable land. Algae or hemp would probably be more efficient than corn, but they bring their own problems, such as water consumption in the case of hemp, or contamination in the case of algae...
... how they placed a high school dropout in such a position of trust. Quoting the Guardian "Snowden is a 29-year-old high-school dropout who trained for the Army Special Forces before an injury forced him to leave the military. His IT credentials are apparently limited to a few "computer" classes he took at a community college in order to get his high-school equivalency degree—courses that he did not complete. His first job at the NSA was as a security guard. Then, amazingly, he moved up the ranks of the United States' national security infrastructure: The CIA gave him a job in IT security. He was given diplomatic cover in Geneva. He was hired by Booz Allen Hamilton, the government contractor, which paid him $200,000 a year to work on the NSA's computer systems."
Google should thread lightly on this path. Too much censorship and suddenly some less restrictive search engine could make it go the way of Yahoo..
And this is why people oppose nuclear power. It's harder to screw things up at such level with renewables. The simpsons greedy bastard running a nuke plant isn't a fiction. It's a damned archetype.
Well, linux brings them alot of cash... Android-flavored
By that same token I can also say that CNN is another source of conservative propaganda, maybe not at the same level of those nut-jobs at FOX news, but sometimes it shows. Games and porn were always available in whatever generation you can mention, in one form or another. I can also make the case that maybe men these days simply cannot cope with the level of acceptance of infidelity, complete loss of sense of roles and values in most relationships and that pretty much a good deal of women these days aren't worth the potential troubles that marriage or something of the sorts would bring.

Just stop buying those worthless pieces of crap altogether, Downloading? Go ahead, instill the fear of even touching a "legit" product from said names.
And then start actually to take note on the alternatives, such as Jamendo and the likes. Go to concerts to support the authors you do enjoy and search good music instead that being popularized by outlets such as MTV.
Only then can true copyright reform begin, and prices drop to affordable levels.
Certainly the economic troubles have a role here. But I'm frankly pessimist about said outcome.
Let's see why:
- Portugal is sadly often enough a testing bed for microsoft-based techs. In regards to the enterprise microsoft in portugal has alot of power. Until some years ago most of linux users I've met tend to came from an university background. Check the statistics in regards to browser/email/operative system as opposed to the rest of europe and you'll often see said effect.
- Most school netbooks are dual-boot linux/xp. Guess which one kids tend to choose from.
- Plenty of enterprises typically buy a copy or a single computer (usually windows comes pre-installed on most purchases), then carry on and simply shamelessly use a pirated cd to update whatever outdated system they have - this assuming they go to such troubles of course.

Finally able to ditch the limitations on partitions. Seems to be a better way for a linux system to finally be rid of the old limitations.

When you are up against deadlines, either real or self-imposed it is very difficult to slow yourself down. I have made some mistakes when I have been seriously tired, namely after working 72 hours straight with no sleep. Done that on several occasions for employers. Regards, Christopher.
