Is Nigeria Finally Defeating Boko Haram?
in Radio
Host: World Ebony Network, Dr. Ezi Mecha, Founder & CEO
Co-Producer/Director: African Views – http://www.africanviews.org/
Event Narrative:
On March 6th, 2014, Part III will examine the current situation and question if the actions of Boko Haram are getting better or worse and if Nigerian has been successfully dealing with Boko Haram.
The panel will examine the failures on success following Dr. Katch's recount of Boko Haram's history and the current situation on ground. Some of the failures include: Training of young child soldiers and Suicide bombing while some of the successes include the recapturing of Baga where Boko Haram destroyed and killed so many people, coordination of activities between Chad, Cameroon, and Niger with American support, and confidence and morale-boosting visit of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Kenneth Minimah.
in Education
In an effort to build consensus across the Global African Diaspora around strategies for cooperating and coordinating, CFA collaborates with African Views to facilitate a conference call of Diaspora leaders in the Western Hemisphere, as part of the 2014 Ronald H. Brown African Affairs Series. While time, distance and travel resources have proven to be significant obstacles in the coordination of Diaspora in support of Africa, this effort can bridge the gap, by holding the first of several conference calls of Diaspora leaders around the globe to open and strengthen dialogue.
Synopsis of intent:
To formalize the platform where experts and professionals in Africa and Diaspora can collaborate with their immense intellect, expertise, skills, ideas and other resources necessary to develop and design the optimal solutions for bridging and amplifying the economic and scientific gaps between Africa and the rest of the world.
Expected Outcome
To form alliance of strength and interest between the Diaspora and Africa, as well as to cultivate a collaborative global communication platform for reliable and well guided intelligence committees that will liaise directly with institutional partners, essential state holders and sovereign authorities on African development issues.

Observing the Roles of African Men in Community Building and Developing Healthy
There is an overarching stereotype about the absence of African men in family and community development. Some claim that African "Black" males have failed to protect their communities while some say African leaders are the ones failing to protect their societies. Is there some validity is this stereotype?
However, history portrays Africa as an organized society where males prided themselves in protecting their communities. This character trait dates as far back as pre-colonial days were men were more socio-politically visible than women and in some societies; even though they deferred some of the sociopolitical roles to women. In those societies, women were allowed to make decisions pertaining to women affairs, but in general, men played various roles as councilmen, elders, and as a matter of fact, as those responsible for guarding the living from the forces of evil.
How do character traits of today's men differ from those of our ancestors? What have we forgotten to remember? Is it good to remember and continue to observe the cultural legacy and behavioral commitments of the ancestors? Is it possible to combine the Afrocentric governance with those of our ancestors? From the look of things, corrupt governments, killings, etc., it appears black leaders have moved too far from the good traditional practices of their ancestors. If this is the case, then who protects black communities? Should those good traditional protective roles be abandoned? Will electoral processes work in black communities, particularly, in Africa? Where do we go from here?

Severity of the Ebola Outbreaks and the vulnerability of the African States
in Health
The Ebola outbreak, which began 9 months ago, has killed nearly 1300 lives in 4 African countries, affected up to 2000 people, shut down borders, and is becoming a threat to local if not national economies. Though 'The Economists' reports patchy precautions following Presidency declared state of emergency in these countries, personal testimonies are disclosing their satisfaction at their government's serious efforts in protecting their citizens.

This forum is in three parts. Each part is scheduled for one hour. The first part will address the challenges faced by the African Press in doing our work domestically and internationally. Part two, will validate the challenges as legitimate problems because some of our colleagues are often just ranting or confused and in some cases prosecuted for publishing false or defamatory information. Part three will provide us with opportunity to offer our views and ideas on ways and means of strengthening the status of the African press in domestically and around the world.

Old age is such a blessing. But what good is it exactly? Methuselah, they say had lived for thousand years. But what for? Many people around the world shares a sense of loss about the recent passing of Maya Angelou. She had been a significant influence for good in world and shall always remain a pride of the African communities worldwide. Weeks before Dr. Maya Angelou's passing, Dr Ezi Mecha was planning to record a video message about her work relationship with Chinua Achebe. Something she had agreed to do. She had a strong sense of belief in her roots as a guide to the present and the future, and what it means to live a purposeful life.
Pharrell Williams, a brilliant and successful African American music entertainer said in his twitter feed that he is saddened by the news of Maya Angelou's passing: A brilliant woman who contributed so much to the world."

The Forbidden Books (Boko Haram) Nigeria's War on Terror
in Radio
What ISIS is to Iraq AND Syria, and Al-Qaida is to Afghanistan, that is what Boko Haram is to Nigeria. This diffuse Salafist sect has attacked Nigeria's police and military, politicians, schools, religious buildings, public institutions, market places, and civilians consistently in Northern Nigeria, but they have since gained confidence and now encroaching Southern parts of Nigeria. They have abducted several hundreds of children, women and girls to the world's disgusts and destroyed townships, while they put terror in the hearts of Nigerian law enforcement institutions. Up until few days ago, the Nigerian Government had denied the obvious advancement and atrocities caused by Boko Haram perhaps as political strategy amidst the very heated and looming presidential election coming up in few weeks.
Experts argue that the group existence is due to the fundamental Salafist incubation that social development neglect of the region brewed. Others view the group as an armed revolt against government corruption, abusive security forces, and widening regional economic disparity. Most agree that the Federal Government of Nigeria could have and should have done more to address the strife.

The goal – Able to tell the world that violent has been a norm in Northern Nigeria since 1945 – Every kingdom established through the shedding of blood will almost require the shedding of more blood to keep the kingdom going.

However, for the very first time, Nigerians has been able to stand up to those responsible.

[YI] All Roads Lead to Freedom Statue in Zambia
in Radio
Zambia holds a special place in Africa largely because of the leadership of Kenneth Kaunda, the Lion of Zambia, one of the most respected political leaders in Africa. Kaunda's legacy includes belief that Zambia could establish a democracy where both Africans and European settlers could live in peace. As such Zambia managed to avoid the racially divisive power struggles that plagued its neighbors, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa. He has also brokered efforts to resolve disputes within and between African nations and was particularly active in the long campaign that led to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. Today Zambia is one of the few African countries that have been multi-racially inclusive of persons of European Origin it is highest Office. Guy Scott was sworn in as Vice President of the Republic of Zambia on 29 September 2011.
Nonetheless, after 3 years in Office, Zambians are becoming frustrated about the administration of Michael Chilufya Sata, the current Zambian president and Patriotic Front party leader. Sata defeated the incumbent Rupiah Bwezani Banda in the 2011 elections with pre-election pledge to deliver a people driven constitution in 100 days after taking office. The recent announcement by the president in defense of his delay on the issue, saying Zambia has a constitution and the country is not in crisis sparked a protest which led to the arrest of More than 40 youth activists for wearing T-shirts saying: "New constitution a must. Release it now!"
Activista and other Zambian youth movement will get a chance to tell the world what a people driven Constitution for Zambia mean and why New constitution a must. Release it now on African Views. Read more
Candid Assessment of U.S. Response to the Ebola Crisis Part I
in Health
The alarmist nature of the American tabloids and cable news is causing anxiety and spreading fear and misinformation about the EVD. Health-?care costs and illness from the effects of the disease contribute relatively little to its economic impact, according to a World Bank report. Rather, eighty to ninety per cent of the economic effects are due to the "fear factor," which shuts down transportation systems, including ports and airports, and keeps people away from their jobs.
Fear factor about the possible spread of Ebola Virus Diseases within America copulated with the exponential increment in official reported numbers of fatalities in Africa is causing great shift in public perception and law makers' different responses to the situation across the board

Protection against Domestic Violence By Law Enforcement Agencies
in Family
Domestic violence is a term used to characterize a pattern of obvious and subtle hash and brash behaviors resulting into physical and psychological abuses between partners in any types of intimate relationships or other members in a household. Domestic violence can be in a cumulative form of physical, emotional, verbal, economic and sexual abuse or any other type of control mechanism to coerce another individual perpetually. Consequences of domestic violence vary from anxiety, dismay, social disconnect, fragile mental state, tension, breakdown mental and unpredictable consequences such as illness, homicide or permanent disfigurement.
In 1994, the US Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA"). This Act, and the 1996 additions to the Act, recognizes that domestic violence is a national crime and that federal laws can help an overburdened state and local criminal justice system. Available practical information in the US federal domestic violence laws and penalties and the rights of federal victims can be found here: Federal Domestic Violence Laws http://www.justice.gov/usao/gan/documents/federallaws.pdf
This includes:
How to report domestic violence crime?
What are the federal crimes and penalties?
What qualifies as domestic violence misdemeanor?
What is a a protection order?
Who is an intimate partner?
Can concerns be heard in federal court?
What are Victim's rights?
Where and how to find help?
Speakers include Chief Police Inspector Katarina Paulsson from Åmål Police in Sweden, and Police Investigator Karpla Karney from Pleebo Police in Liberia and NYPD representative from Domestic Violence Unit. We could sufficiently capture the framework for protection against domestic violence by spanning law enforcement policies across three continents, namely Africa, Europe, and America.
PEACE TALKS: African Americans and Black Immigrants
in Radio
The diversity of African people is defined by their uniqueness, which is one of their most important characteristics as a people. In the US, Black or African American is one category. Together they comprise approximately 14% of the population in the United States. One would expect synergy from the various groups that constitute the Black society in America. This includes Black immigrants from Africa, South America, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and African Americans. Current reality as revealed by pundits and mere public observation show that relating to one another in their respective communities is a common challenge.
The existing conflicts are both recent and antiquity based myths such as claims that African Americans don't like Black immigrants because they are reaping the benefit of their struggles for freedom with disregard for the experience of slavery while Black immigrants are said to think that African Americans are aloof of the opportunity of their circumstances. Other myths include the Willie Lynch's effect and conspiracy theory of who might have been responsible for slave trade.

Product description
Despite technology and an immensely greater understanding of himself and his world, modern man still lives in societies which are recognizably descended from the patterns of Bronze Age states. Egypt is a particularly well-documented example. Writing from an archaeological perspective, Barry Kemp presents a comprehensive reassessment of Egyptian society, based on new excavation evidence and reinterpretation of existing material. He explores the great shaping forces of ancient Egyptian civilization: political myth and ideology, the bureaucratic utopia of universal provision of work and food, the presentational devices of charismatic rule: and, as well, the tempering effects on people of political and economic experience. Barry Kemp shows us ancient Egypt as a window on mankind, and transforms our understanding of this remarkable civilization.

Review quote
""Ancient Egypt is a book full of unusual ideas and fresh assessments provided by a scholar who has closely examined a variety of sites in Egypt . . . its originality should make it required reading for all students of ancient Egypt."-"Times Literary Supplement ." . . this fine book is consistently informative, provocative and stimulating."-"Antiquity "Kemp's study is perhaps the most provocative, thoughtful, and outstanding synthesis on ancient Egypt available in the English language . . . this book will stand for decades as an essential introduction to all interested specifically in ancient Egypt as well as those interested in general archaeology and ancient history."-"Choice "Carefully researched, and written in a comprehensible manner, this is a most recommended book for all students and scholars.."-"The Bibliography of Ancient Egypt
Editorial reviews
There is a danger that the plethora of information on ancient Egypt might make a conventional dynastic history unwieldy to the non-specialist. Here Barry Kemp achieves the seemingly impossible, telling the tale of Egypt's long development from an archaeological viewpoint and seamlessly weaving art, architecture, religion, politics and economics into his narrative so that the past becomes a well-rounded country that we recognize and enjoy. As an introduction to the dynastic age, this book is highly recommended. Every time I read it, I discover something new. (Kirkus UK)

What type of insect nest is this? Could it be termites??? (Pictures included)?
Author: admin / Category: termite picturesI was killing off all the wasp nests I could find today and I found a spot on my roof where it wasn't sealed. In the entrance there was this nest that looks like nothing I have ever seen before and a couple of others, that I can't see too well, deeper into the hole… I just want to figure out what it is so I can find out how to get rid of it.
Do Mud termites damage houses? and how could they've gotten onto my roof?
Wow, that's quite an interesting nest, I do not think that it looks like to one on my roof, but it could be and I'm just not looking at it carefully enough…
I'll try uploading some more photos in a bit.
Thanks guys…
Compared to my photo, I think you guys are right. Any idea on how to get rid of it? I was burning the other ones, but I'm not sure that would work with this one and I don't wanna risk burning down my house.
Its hard to tell, but it looks a bit like a wasp nest to me. I occasionally see wasps build tube shaped clumps of mud/dirt on the outside of my house.
The picture attached is quite an elaborate nest, compared to what I get, but does it look anything like what you are seeing?

July 6th, 2010 at 12:42 amThey are good to have around because they eat insects. They feed their young insects that they have stung but still alive. Termites will not survive with these guys around because they are enemies. If you really want to get rid of them then make sure that they have no way to get into the place that they are building their nest.

Final Partings, and a New LifeThis is the final part of my Elemental Master, a video game I used to play. I don't own the game characters, like Laden, and Roki, and the Gyra, etc. The only characters I own are Gabriela and Dulamen. Once again, I do not own anything, but my own characters.Gabriela walked though the hall ways for what seemed like an eternity. When an enemy appeared, she'd hide, but there was not even a mouse present. Only the cobwebs and creeping shadows covered the evil hall ways. Gabriela had never felt the stabbing pain of knowing her dearest friend, Roki, was taken over by the King Gyra. Though the spirit of Dulaman, her oldest friend, the one she'd thought of as a brother, was at her side, she could not help but shead a tear each time she thought of the Roki in the past. Finally she had reached a room where Roki was waiting for some one. She hid behind the entrance of the hall way of which she stood, and watched as a familiar person dash into the room. It was Laden, and he stood, ready to fight

Each night, Laden would be tempted to tell her his undying longing for her, but then would sink back in fear. What if she didn't love him? What if there was another? Gabriela noticed him in his thoughts as she finished playing her flute. "Laden?" Laden looked up at his beauteous companion, "you seemed troubled by something. Is every thing well?" Laden nodded. "You needn't worry about me Gabriela. My mind is just thinking about my brother." Gabriela nodded and leaded against a tree behind her and fell asleep. Laden got up from where he had sat and laid next to

With that being said, please enjoy the second part of this fan fiction Laden, along with his new companion Gabriela, which he had met in the forest months ago after she saved him from a beast and poison, continued their journey up a mountain outside the forest they had been travelling though. Laden could see Gabriela wasn't used to the cold climate change as they went further up, but she continuously said to pay attention to climbing, rather then her. They made it to the top, only to meet another monster. They had met more the five of these monsters since they came to the mountain, and like always, they always defeated them with the greatest of ease. After a short battle, they camped out for the night. Gabriela tended to their wounds; she made sure none of them,

"Why Roki, Why?" the question kept knocking at his head. He still couldn't believe his brother was the Gyra, or a least was possessed by the Gyra. A sudden noise broke Laden's train of thought. His looked into a bush that he had been sleeping next to and before he could move, a monster jumped out and pined him to the ground. Laden tried with all his might to push it off, but it held him to the ground with greater force. Laden tried to get to his magic, but was unable to do it.

i'm just over halfway through, watching on blu-ray. i rarely watch television so am really pleased i picked this dvd up. it's possibly the greatest thing i've ever watched. my friend said pacific is not nearly as good though.
what other shows are there of a similar quality? i like the idea of tv mini-series. i noticed rome on blu-ray was a joint production between hbo and bbc, much like band of brothers. hopefully that's a sign of quality. -

TESTIMONIALS for the
What a
sight!!! In the past twenty five years I have tested and evaluated
hundreds of firearms accessories including dozens of sighting systems
for magazine articles. I could honestly say "finally, someone came up
with truly affordable, extremely functional and incredibly rugged
precision iron sights for the 1022 and SKS. Knowledgeable shooters who
admire a quality product specially designed to match or exceed those
devices found on high end precision rifles will truly appreciate the
Tech-Sight systems. After testing and evaluating the Tech-Sights
installed in my own rifles compared to other similar devices out there,
I can only say one thing - "Nothing even comes close". My grouping
easily shrank by half from 25 to 100 meters - incredible improvement in
accuracy, thanks to those clear sight pictures. I believe in giving
credit to where credit is due. So affordable, yet very sophisticated.
Tech- Sight products are indeed the very best there is that is available
for the 10/22 and SKS rifles. I look forward to see more innovations from
you. |

I received my TSR200 sights a few
days ago. After mounting according to the directions, snugging
everything up, I went to the range yesterday. I must say these
sights are THE BEST THING SINCE THE 10/22 WAS INVENTED!
I set this rifle up to shoot at 25yd
AQT targets and my buddy is doing the same thing. We want to
shoot more and save the centerfire ammo. To obtain an initial
zero, I shot off of a rest at 25yds, was getting one hole
groups. I have scoped, bull-barrel 10/22s and this one shoots as
well as the others with your sights!
I want to thank you for a product
that Ruger should have put on the 10/22 when it was introduced.
You folks have made plinking and training fun again! Now, I hope
you would introduce some sights similar for the 77/22, if the
demand was great enough. Maybe something that fit on the back
scope mount on the receiver!
Anyway, thanks much and I can't wait
to get back to the range!
Morganton, NC (December 2007)
Attention Tech-Sights,
placed my order and received my sights the first week they were
available for sale.
If you have not
received any feedback on your sights yet let me be the first!
installed your sights on one of my older .22
(27 years old to be
exact) on our trip to the range with all our buddies with all our
high dollar this and power custom that, my old .22 with your new
sights was the hit of the day and got TWO FULL BRICKS fired through
it! No one could put it down. Just when that poor old .22 thought it
was going to get a rest, someone else was putting another 50 rounds
through it.
Thank you for all the great effort that you put in to these sights
and I hope you sell a million of them! Your new friend in Arizona, Glenn |
Great Service, Great Product
I just wanted to thank you
for super service and a fantastic product. I ordered a TSR-100 sight
system for my my Ruger 10/22 last week. I received and installed it
Saturday. The installation was super easy and took less than 15 minutes. (Photo by J.M. Ramos) Good day, A month or so ago I ordered your TSR100 with bull barrel adapter and I am very, very pleased with the results. This thing is a tack driver with great balance. The sights work perfectly at 50 and 100 yards. Thanks again. |
Amazing Item! Tech-Sights pick up where the gunsmiths leave off. You will be surprised how accurate you can shoot with them! It has made believers out of student after student in our classrooms.
We simply wouldn't rely on anything else to earn a living with.
Thank you for the outstanding product!
I was building a training rifle to supplement my AR-15 shooting. Well this sight is the best there is!! Easy to install, durable, and very accurate! On my first trip to the range I went through 400 rds, I was so impressed with the sight picture, and how similar it was to my AR! Good News it works great and is very cool! Bad News is everyone at the range wanted to try it out! Well the sight has more than paid for itself, in the money I have saved vs. shooting the AR.
Attached is a
pic of the .22 trainer rifle I cooked up.
Your sights are
the best addition to the rifle.
Now I have the
same sight picture and stock set up as my AR but can
practice for pennies!
Thanks for the great product!
Another satisfied customer, Ordered the TSR100 sights for my 10/22.
Easy to install and really make the rifle pop!! Looks so much
Recently I
bought a set of TSR100 sights to complete a total restoration of
an abused Ruger 10/22. The sights enable me to do with that
Ruger 10/22 what could have only been done with a costly scope.
I can consistently and accurately engage targets from 25 yards
to 200 yards with ease. My friends are constantly amazed at how
easy it is to hit the 100 and 150 yard steel plates at our local
range. They have also put Tech-SIGHTS on most of their rifles. |

Happy Birthday to my blog - one year old. No longer neonatal, but still an infant.
Blogging has been interesting - it is, indeed, time-consuming to read all these articles. However, I'd be reading them regardless - so the time commitment is mostly the part with the typing. Luckily, in academics, your clinical time is scaled down specifically to encourage these sorts of activities (although, blogging has so far only been parlayed into an endowed chair by Michele Lin). And operating a blog is nothing like the amazing podcasts other folks put together - I have no idea how they do it.
At the moment, we're on a schedule of a post every other day or so - and up to about 11,000 views per month. In contrast, my article in JAMA from last summer has been downloaded 2,250 times. Which has more value? So far, the blog seems to be leading to more opportunities. The traditional model of knowledge and opinion dissemination in medicine is certainly shifting.
Firefox and Safari are literally tied at 30% of my site traffic, as well as Macintosh vs. Windows at 30%. Australia is in second place behind the U.S., and counts for about 10% of my traffic.
The top five most frequently viewed articles:
#1. Yet Another Highly Sensitive Troponin - In JAMA
#2. Too Many Traumatic Arrests Are Transported
#3. Cardiology Corner - More Brugada Tidbits
#4. C-Collars Cannot Stabilize Unstable Injuries
#5. Must We Use Paracetamol/Acetaminophen?
Thank for reading!

Can we possibly do anything with a 6 hour lay over at National Airport? We have never been to DC. I guess we would have to be back at the airport 2 hours before our flight to London so make that a 4 hour lay over.
6 hour layover in Washington DC
14 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
Because National is conveniently located by the Metro, you could definitely do something. Assuming your layover is during the daytime, you could easily visit Arlington Cemetery, which is only 4 stops away on the Metro (10-15 mins). Or, you could take the Metro into D.C. and visit one of the Smithsonian museums, or the monuments, etc. 4-hours is plenty of time.
Report Abuse
I think this is always tricky. You could leave but what if you get in bad traffic or something happens and you can't get back to the airport in time?
Report Abuse
You've GOT to at least check out a couple monuments. Just got back from D.C. and the Metro is extremely EASY to use!! Cheap, too. I flew into National as well and it's right on the Metro. Grab a Metro map when you get your ticket and you'll be good to go. There are posted maps on the Metro cars as well. Do a search on Yahoo and you'll find the Metro web site. You can download a map prior to going and check out which monuments, etc. as closest. Most places are free as well. If you can't find the site, let me know. I'm sure I have it saved in my favorites. D.C. is such a wonderful place to explore. Granted, 4 hours is not much time, but at least you can head down to the White house and catch a couple monuments. The Vietnam Wall is something to see, too. I just can't say enough about D.C.!!!!! Good luck!!
P.S. I'm totally jealous you're on your way to London!! Trying to plan a trip there myself for spring of 2003!! -
Report Abuse
it is a 15 minute subway into town. I would have definate plans and give myself at least 1 hour to wait at the airport. Factor that time in and you will be fine.
I think if you never have been you really have to see the Lincoln Memorial. My favorite museum is the museum of American History. Do thest two things and you will be fine. You could squeese in a stroll to the capital and white house if you cut down on museum time. Everything is realively close to each other. The Capital and Lincoln Memorial being the at opposite ends. I am going this weekend, YEAH FOR ME. I really like D.C. and was down from NYC twice over the summer. -
Report Abuse
Yes ... in fact, there's probably few airports that put you as close to downtown when you've got a Metro stop outside the airport.
Visit ANYTHING in DC if you've never been. The airport is serviced by both the Yellow and Blue lines. The Yellow will get you near to the National Mall a little quicker - maybe get off at L'Enfant Plaza & walk, or transfer to Blueline and go to Smithsonian stop for excellent view of things from Lincoln Memorial, Capitol, Washington Monument & Jefferson. Walk around a bit. Be back on the Metro before 3pm tho, it starts getting busy again. -

P.S. The Museum of Natural History is fabulous, but really can be time consuming. Here are my favorites: Washington and Lincoln Mem., Vietnam Wall, White House, Museum of Nat. Hist., Georgetown is great, and the National Zoo is wonderful!!! You really need to stay a week to see everything!! Good luck!! -

You guys are great! I never expected to get to see our nation's capital when we booked this tour to London! Thanks. I will check out the Metro website and all these other suggestions.

Are you sure you are flying out of National and not Dulles? There are very very few international flights out of National.
Report Abuse
The only international flights to/from DCA are to Canada, so double check your itinerary. If the airport is Dulles (IAD) or Baltimore (BWI), six hours would not afford you time to see anything in DC unless you are willing to pay $50+ each way for a taxi to visit one site for just a few minutes, especially if your layover time includes the hours of 3 to 7 pm.

Holy crap, Mike and Oops. I feel like an idiot. You're right. I didn't have the itinerary in front of me when I posted. Sorry for the trouble. I will be more careful in the future.

From the Publisher
"[Carriker] has done a commendable job of describing the military challenge in a land 'teeming with discontented and only temporarily pacified Indians.' But his crucial point is that Indian Territory during the last three decades of the nineteenth century was a nether world of whiskey merchants, cattle and timber thieves, speculators, tribal opportunists, and various other frontier thugs who operated on the rational assumption that it was difficult, if not virtually impossible, for the government to establish justice and order."—Montana"Fort Supply remained active until February 26, 1895, when notification from army headquarters turned it over to the Department of the Interior. Carriker chronicles all those years with the skill of a military strategist—his writing style sharp and lean, his lavish footnotes and bibliographical references enough to satisfy the most demanding historical researcher."—American West

unable to type username and access os x account
I changed my login settings without paying attention to what I was really doing and made it so in order to log in I'd have to type in not only my password but also my username. Then I logged out. The thing is, my username contains Cyrillic letters and my keyboard can't produce them with the system settings being what they are. I had set the username up by copy & pasting, not really understanding that this was the dumbest thing I could possibly do.
Is there anything I can do about this myself? The machine is a 15" rMBP and it runs 10.8.2. My account is the only account (guest accounts are turned off). edit: Apparently I need to redo the owner account setup via Recovery HD. I've run into an issue with Terminal, where it refuses to remove /var/db/.AppleSetupDone. When I ask it to find the file, it finds it and reports back with that same path, but when I ask it to remove the file, I get "No such file or directory." edit: Managed to resolve the issue.

Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One(1932-1937)No synopsis for Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One. For more about Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One and the Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One Blu-ray release, see Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on August 9, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Mae Questel » See full cast & crew Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One Blu-ray, Video QualityOlive Films is touting its new release of Betty Boop The Essential Collection Volume 1 as having been sourced from 4K scans of the original negatives and fine grains. This set of AVC encoded 1080p transfers in 1.37:1 is impressive on many levels, especially for those who only remember tattered, faded broadcast prints, but there are still issues that will confront the ardent videophile. All of these shorts contain the U.M.&M. bumpers, which leads me to believe they may be sourced from the syndication masters, circa 1955. That means we may not be dealing with original elements, but dupes. Even if that is the case, there are still some very significant upgrades in this presentation, mostly to do with much improved contrast. Betty's dress reads a true black now and gray scale is considerably more variegated. There is still some fairly bad damage in evidence in virtually all of these shorts, however. This includes everything from minor issues like scratches and speckling to more problematic issues like emulsion bubbling (usually toward the sides of the frame). Lovers of Betty will probably be willing to overlook most if not all of these issues for their chance to see Betty looking better than ever, but curmudgeons might be wishing more of a concerted restoration effort had been done here. Update: Though some evidently misread my comments above as stating absolutely that dupes were used, I think I was clear that I was stating an assumption of mine based on the bumpers (hopefully a careful rereading of what I wrote above shows it was not posited as an undisputed fact). I've since been contacted by knowledgeable members who indicate the bumpers were actually spliced onto the original negatives. That said, my qualitative comments above stand: the image quality here is incredibly improved, but there is still substantial damage that appears in virtually all of these cartoons. Betty Boop: The Essential Collection - Volume One Blu-ray, Audio QualityBetty Boop The Essential Collection Volume 1 features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track that simply can't overcome some of the inherent issues on many of these tracks. The 1932-33 features especially have some prevalent distortion in the midrange which interrupts the smooth flow of the music, but typically the voice work comes through at least adequately and often a good deal more than that. One has to remember these were still the early days of talkies and despite the fact that the filmmakers weren't dealing with a simultaneous recording situation as with most live action films, there were still definite limits to the technology available at the time and those are revealed in this lossless offering, with an often brittle, tinny sound.

Nevermore lose two members
I knew that last album seemed half-assed. Now the only question is who was dictating that direction.
Loads of people quitting/giving up at the moment...
Why am i not surprised? Loomis and Williams must have been really annoyed by the re-launching of Sanctuary, i can't think of another reason for this happening... I knew that last album seemed half-assed. Now the only question is who was dictating that direction. It was half-hearted. That's indeed a good question.
Digging: Aelter - IV: Love Eternal
god dayum
Digging: Sandrose - Sandrose
Heard about this earlier today, and damn. To me, Nevermore was always Loomis and Dane, so this is pretty much a shock. I never listened to The Obsidian Conspiracy all the way through, so I wouldn't know, but still. I wonder the real reasons. Voivod might have it right.
damn it...one of the best bands out there.
Really didn't see this coming at all. Don't know how they could go on without Loomis.
Digging: Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
lol, Loomis is Nevermore. Should just shut er' down altogether.
As someone who's been optimistic regarding news like this in bands I like lately... They're done for. It's just not the same without Loomis.
this sucks nevermore is one of my fave bands and loomis is a superb guitarist wondering how they gonna manage without him in the band??
Not good. Both Loomis and Danes' solo efforts showcased great talent with poor songwriting. They really need to be together to make it work.
Noooooooooo! Without Jeff Loomis, there is no Nevermore! We're doomed!
Just heard about this yesterday, such shit news. Apparently the promoter who gets my band alot of shows had these guys booked to play in an upcoming gig but Warrel Dane relapsed and now he's back in rehab. Those are the internal struggles mentioned here. Oh well The Obsidian Conspiracy stunk anyways.
Band is done for.
Dane should focus enterly on Sanctuary from now on. I mean, sure he's an amazing singer and probably the most charismatic Nevermore member, but without Loomis and Williams....it won't be the same for sure.
Sucks but not really surprised. Their last album seemed like they didn't really care anymore. Loomis was the heart of the band so i do believe they, Nevermore, are pretty much done for now.
Digging: Robert Hood - Minimal Nation
Yeah, The Obsidian Conspiracy was a big letdown.
no loomis no nevermore hopefully he joins a better band, i'd like to hear him lend his skills to a project with better songwriting
Hmm...despite not digging the last effort, nor Loomis' soloing outing either, I find it hard to imagine this band going on without him...Obsidian Conspiracy was a poor excuse for a Nevermore album but nothing worth seeing a band fall to pieces over.
Never got into this band before.
I was hopin to catch them live at some point...not worth seeing without loomis imo, so there goes that
what the fuck? i put this news up yesterday and it never got put through by the mods and now a different thread of the same topic gets put through? what the hell.....Anyway, Nevermore are pretty much done imo.
Loomis is phenomenal. Can't wait to see what he does next
While loomis is amazing, his solo album is very poorly structured wankery, seemed more like personal experimentation than an instrumental album. I look forward to his future stuff but I'm not gonna get too excited about it unless he finds a solid band.
It was obviously time for this to happen. Maybe it's surprising, but it's better than what would almost certainly have been an epically bad follow up to the altogether pointless Obsidian Conspiracy. If anything they were an album too late.
Loomis is one of my favorite guitarists. Nevermore is done for I guess.
Digging: Royal Thunder - Crooked Doors
It's about time tbh.
R.I.P nevermore.
R.I.P nevermore. (2)
what pisses me off is that i bought a ticket to a metal fest expecting to see nevermore with loomis ofc!!! wtf am i supposed to do now?
They should start a death metal band. I would be really excited.
Dang. Here's hoping Williams and loomis join a band with a better singer/someone who can growl. So many nevermore songs sound like piss with singing. Sucks though, godless endeavor slayed.
Band is over and done with.
band is fucked
Seriously, those two were this entire band. I hope they do something together.
Damn Nevermore will soon be never more!? ? That didn't come out right.
Damn, this band was so good. Last CD had much lacking which I guess lead to some of this decision. This band can't go on without loomis.
Yeah, really not sure what's left of this band without Loomis. Not too upset, I love him as a guitarist but Nevermore as a whole never appealed to me all that much.
GG nevermore, I never knew thee nor did I care to.
loomis was nevermore
Bad news D: but on the upside dane should focus more on Sanctuary, whom i always liked better
Loomis and Van Williams were an integral part of the band's sound, I don't see how they can remain as "Nevermore" after this, sure there are many players who can recreate their stuff but it just won't be the same. This is horrible news.
loomis was the band
yes, unfortunately........
worst news after Easter vacations Im Kinda sad right now, but I think it may be better to split rather than release boring albums... I'm curious of what Dane will do
well then, nevermore just died..

Manitoba, stubborn holdout for 2010 "Canada Games," capitulates
Posted by Ron Judd
It's official: Manitoba has surrendered.
The obscure Canadian province (set your Google Earth pointer to that big space between Saskatchewan and Ontario), a land loved by Canadians for its inhospitable terrain, extreme temperatures and angry mosquitoes, finally raised the white flag over Winnipeg today in March (see correction above.)
The message, translated from the original prairie Canadian: "Ah, to hell with it. Cue that Bryan Adams song. We give. Vancouver 2010, here we come!"
Manitoba was the last second to last province/territory to sign on as a sponsoring participant of the 2010 Winter Games, at long last bringing the entire, mostly frozen nation into the clutches of the feel-good peddlers at VANOC, the Games' organizing committee. (An earlier holdout, the Northwest Territories, reportedly caved after Games organizers threatened to affix a cowboy hat and bandanna to Illanaaq, the famous Inuit "inukshuk" statue that has become the Games' official emblem, and is available now on a full line of fine products that embody the Olympic spirit, including bar coasters and edible underpants.)
VANOC officials say the capitulation of Manitoba -- the flag of which, curiously, features a British red ensign in what appears to be a standoff with an ill-tempered bison** -- officially makes the Olympics "Canada's Games." To which we can only say: Bravo. This everybody's-on-board ethic is what the event really should be all about, and besides which, will come in really handy when someone in Ottawa gets the final bill for cost overruns.
According to VANOC, each contract signed with a province or territory is unique, but they tend to outline "a number of potential areas where the province ... can collaborate with VANOC to successfully deliver the Games."
Our sources in Vancouver say the province has pledged to provide the following Games services in exchange for what is rumored to be 14 beer-obstructed seats to the hockey gold medal game:
-- Sports medicine expertise from the Birtle, Manitoba General Hospital, described by town fathers as being "surprisingly full-featured for a town of this size (690)."
-- Twelve bushels of rust-resistant wheat.
-- Free Illanaaq bar coaster ads in The Uniter, the University of Winnipeg student newspaper.
-- Two barrels of canola oil signed by every member of the 2002 Brandon Wheat Kings.
-- Lifetime supply of "vegetable product" for snowboard gold medalist Ross Rebagliati from secret underground government medicinal marijuana farm in Flin Flon (You think we would kid about this? Ha.)
We're still trying to find out what Newfoundland and Labrador will bring to the table that is not fish-related. Stay tuned.
** Note: For a delightful image of a design that won a newspaper-sponsored contest to replace the old Manitoba flag with a hipper new one, see the picture of a large bison apparently breaking wind here.

PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. — Firefighters searched one splintered pile after another for survivors Thursday, combing the remains of houses and neighborhoods pulverized by the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak in almost four decades. At least 297 people were killed across six states — more than two-thirds of them in Alabama, where large cities bore the half-mile-wide scars the twisters left behind.
The death toll from Wednesday's storms seems out of a bygone era, before Doppler radar and pinpoint satellite forecasts were around to warn communities of severe weather. Residents were told the tornadoes were coming up to 24 minutes ahead of time, but they were just too wide, too powerful and too locked onto populated areas to avoid a horrifying body count.
"These were the most intense super-cell thunderstorms that I think anybody who was out there forecasting has ever seen," said meteorologist Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
"If you experienced a direct hit from one of these, you'd have to be in a reinforced room, storm shelter or underground" to survive, Carbin said.
The storms seemed to hug the interstate highways as they barreled along like runaway trucks, obliterating neighborhoods or even entire towns from Tuscaloosa to Bristol, Va. One family rode out the disaster in the basement of a funeral home, another by huddling in a tanning bed.
In Concord, a small town outside Birmingham that was ravaged by a tornado, Randy Guyton's family got a phone call from a friend warning them to take cover. They rushed to the basement garage, piled into a Honda Ridgeline and listened to the roar as the twister devoured the house in seconds. Afterward, they could see outside through the shards of their home and scrambled out.
"The whole house caved in on top of that car," he said. "Other than my boy screaming to the Lord to save us, being in that car is what saved us."
Son Justin remembers the dingy white cloud moving quickly toward the house.
"To me it sounded like destruction," the 22-year-old said. "It was a mean, mean roar. It was awful."
At least three people died in a Pleasant Grove subdivision southwest of Birmingham, where residents trickled back Thursday to survey the damage. Greg Harrison's neighborhood was somehow unscathed, but he remains haunted by the wind, thunder and lightning as they built to a crescendo, then suddenly stopped.
"Sick is what I feel," he said. "This is what you see in Oklahoma and Kansas. Not here. Not in the South."
Alabama Emergency Management officials said early Friday that the state had 210 confirmed deaths. There were 33 deaths in Mississippi, 33 in Tennessee, 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and one in Kentucky. Hundreds if not thousands of people were injured — nearly 800 in Tuscaloosa alone.
Some of the worst damage was about 50 miles southwest of Pleasant Grove in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 that is home to the University of Alabama. The storms destroyed the city's emergency management center, so the school's Bryant-Denny Stadium was turned into a makeshift one. School officials said two students were killed, though they did not say how they died. Finals were canceled and commencement was postponed.
Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter Maddox told reporters that police and the National Guard will impose a curfew at 10 p.m. Thursday, and 8 p.m. the next night. Authorities have been searching for survivors so far, but Maddox said they will begin using cadaver dogs on Friday.
A tower-mounted news camera in Tuscaloosa captured images of an astonishingly thick, powerful tornado flinging debris as it leveled neighborhoods.
That twister and others Wednesday were several times more severe than a typical tornado, which is hundreds of yards wide, has winds around 100 mph and stays on the ground for a few miles, said research meteorologist Harold Brooks at the Storm Prediction Center.

Pew Resources on Food Stamp Changes
Congressional changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, that went into effect Nov. 1 reduced food stamp benefits to approximately 48 million Americans enrolled in the program.
The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, is conducting a health impact assessment to examine the effects of changes to SNAP's eligibility and benefit levels. The Health Impact Project released a white paper in March examining the health implications and health-related costs of the proposed changes.
View the interactive map. |
Members of the Health Impact Project team will present their findings at the American Public Health Association's annual meeting Nov. 2 - 6, 2013 in Boston.
The comprehensive, nonpartisan analysis details how changes to SNAP (previously known as food stamps) could affect the U.S. poverty rate, disease rates—including diabetes—and associated medical costs, among other things. The goal of the project is to ensure that potential health effects and related costs are a part of the policy discussion.
How will a reduction in supplemental nutrition assistance affect your state? View the interactive map of state-by-state data on the number of enrollees in the program and cuts to the program.
