On January 3, 1944 thirty opponents of American involvement in the war against Germany went to trial for charges of violating the Smit Act of 1940. The charges stemmed from their involvement in fascist movements and from cooperation with German forces. The defendants opposed war against Germany and espoused rabid anti-Semitism. A high percentage of the defendants came from California, including Noble, Jones, Schwinn and Diebel.
The trial began April 17, 1944, but the prosecution had a difficult time proving specific intent to undermine the morale of the armed forces or to cause armed revolt. The defense attorneys denied the government's contention of an overall Nazi plan to undermine the military's morale. This trial led to the reexamination of our freedoms and our responsibilities. Left wing liberals supported the trial but later this attempt to suppress civil rights undermined their fight for freedom of speech and press. The trial ended in tragedy and farce. Public opinion turned in favor of the defendants and due to the death of the judge, a mistrial was declared November 29, 1944.

"Bring in the cockroaches!" may soon be the first cry when there's been a devastating earthquake. Scientists at North Carolina State University's iBionics Lab have figured out a way to turn the much-maligned cockroach into a "biobot," or biological robot, and steer it remotely. The hope is that soon these tricked-out insects can be sent into earthquake zones to look for survivors in hard-to-reach areas [source: Fiegl].
How does it work? Scientists took cockroaches and inserted electrodes into their antennae and cerci, which are their rear sensors, plus strapped on tiny backpacks with wireless control systems, locator beacons and microphones. With this gear in place, the researchers were able to guide the bugs to stop, go and turn -- skills needed to navigate around rubble when looking for survivors. The microphones would be used to pick up cries for help [source: Fiegl].
Creating cockroach biobots is deemed a better bet than creating robots. Not only can cockroaches already walk around on their own, but they innately scurry away if they sense danger, so they're less likely to get trapped or killed in the rubble than a robot [source: Fiegl].

Literally seconds after I profiled Jim Matheson's "What are the Oilers doing with Tom Renney?" piece in the Edmonton Journal, the club announced Renney was out as head coach:
Renney will finishing his two-year tenure as head coach with a 57-85-22 record and back-to-back last place finishes in the Northwest Division (the team finished 29th overall in 2011-12, 30th in 2010-11.)
No word yet on the status of associate coach Ralph Kruger or assistants Steve Smith, Kelly Buchberger and Fred Chabot.
As for potential Renney replacements? Don't be surprised to hear former Calgary Flames bench boss Brent Sutter's name in the mix. Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun floated the idea in mid-April:
One day after "mutually" deciding to end his three years with the Flames, Brent Sutter will, in fact, be behind a bench this spring as head coach of the Canadian entry in next month's world championships.
While it is no doubt a great opportunity to bolster his stellar international coaching resume, it also may also act as an audition of sorts. After all, Team Canada's GM is Edmonton Oilers President of Hockey Ops Kevin Lowe, and the Oilers will very likely be in need of a new head coach soon.
Also worth noting that Team Canada was loaded with Oilers — Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Devan Dubnyk (Sutter coached the Nuge in Red Deer two seasons ago, too.)

seems like PHT predicted this..anyhow i am jealous at how many good young players EDM has plus the 1st overall pick….should be a great team to come for many years
- stakex - May 17, 2012 at 6:34 PM
While the Oilers have some very good young players, I don't think anyone was going to coach this team to a winning record over the last couple years. They just have far too many holes still. I guess when you finish last two years in a row however, changing coaches sure can't hurt.
- ravenscaps48 - May 17, 2012 at 7:45 PM
This guy might be Washington's New Coach
- villi5ed - May 17, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Renney is a nice man, but he wants to be loved and admired more than he wants to win. If
you're looking to restore a franchise's reputation with a guy who's well-spoken and glib and
affable, he's your man. If you want to win, look elsewhere.

NASA's education site has a short report on the Gravity Probe B spacecraft orbiting the Earth, and the implications its findings may have on Einstein's theory of special relativity. The findings may validate Einstein, and put theorists right back to work and explaining the differences between special relativity and quantum mechanics -- or, it may validate the leading candidate that merges the two theories together -- string theory. The report is written for the layperson, and is a good read -- even if you already know all this stuff.

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Features
- Game Editions
Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.
The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.
- Supported Functions
- Online
- Ego and Then Some: Step into the shoes of Duke Nukem, the steroidal One-Man army who never fails and always gets the Babes.
- Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. He does and says the things you are thinking. Duke's constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game will have gamers rolling.
- World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots.
- Scale and Variety: This game has it all; packed with explosive FPS action, outlandish settings, vehicle driving, and puzzle solving — gamers will never tire of the endless fun.
- Multiplayer Like No Other: Duke re-envisions classic modes of play in his own hilarious and humiliating way. Shrink your opponent and squash him with your foot. Freeze and shatter him. Attach explosives to his back. Roll a pipe bomb between his legs, or just frag him old-fashioned with a rocket.

I've been reading for the past year or so about Rob Grant's daughter Lizzy over at DnJournal and listened to a few songs and thought she was OK. Now all of a sudden she's grown on and I think I have a crush. It was this video of 'Blue Jeans' below that did it to me. It's one of the sexiest songs I've heard in a while. It doesn't hurt that Lizzy herself is a beautiful girl so even if she sang the ABCs I might watch the whole video. Take a look and see if you agree.
15 comments
Roverwhelming.com This star is going to be a superstar. All domainers should be proud, she's one of our own's girl. I give the song, singing, form, all 5 stars!
Nev Thought she was average, not as good as everyone made it out to be :(.
Louise Lana del Rey has a fragile, little girl voice that marries well with the stripped down production of her songs. Did she write the melodies? I thought every gorgeous pop melody had already been written, but, I, too, checked out the catelog on Youtube and see she'e cranking them out! Especially Diet Mountain Dew.
Spike Sorry, but I don't agree.
Bill I'm a guitarist myself, and I think 99% of pop/rock is complete crap (probably more). She in the 1% though, and could move well beyond pop if she keeps growing. Tons of potential in her sensibilities and voice.
Richard Head this one will be on a soundtrack or tv shows closing "montage" within a year
Troy She may not be my style, but I am grateful that there is such a variety of music out there. Enough for everyone to find something they love.
Tia Wood I like her. She writes her own songs. Her voice is different. Her songs are different. Definitely not the same old pop music from last year.
Candy Let me just quote Bill again, "I'm a guitarist myself, and I think 99% of pop/rock is complete crap (probably more)." And then say I think she's brilliant.
Francois She rocks!
Homero She is great!!!!, Different, fresh, talented and beautiful!!
Clobert Rine Has not anyone else thought this song has sections that are sampled from "Wicked Game" by Chris Issak:
The part where Chris sings, "I never dreamed I'd meet someone like you"…….sounds just like Lizzy's part where she sings, "I will love you till the end of time". Don't know if it is intentional, but it is very, very similar.
I can see why people like it though, it's fresh. Anything is better than the regurgitated garbage we have been intentionally fed for the last 30 years. The music industry is still scratching their heads as to why sales are going down…..they think is is illegal downloading, which is true to a degree, but really almost 100% of EVERYTHING MUSIC SUCKS these days!
Why pay for crap?
Animal wow, that is so bizarre. i saw this video recently, it came up randomly on a streaming video playlist i was watching/listening to. I had no idea who it was, but remember thinking the song was pretty sultry/catchy. whether she becomes a superstar or not she'll definitely get a good following i'm sure
Louise Lana posted a cover of her new single on her own youtube page, which she declared, "pretty:"
and shows the reach Lana and the Lana conglomerate into the hearts and minds of pc-users across the country! It's a stunning cover; had to share.

Let's show a little love for the Blue Jackets.
After a dismal start to the season, the BJs have turned it on by winning six of their last nine, moving within two points of Carolina for the third and final playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division.
But the real story is how Columbus has done it.
The Jackets are winning games without four of their highest-paid and most important players: Marian Gaborik (out since Nov. 14 with a knee injury), Sergei Bobrovsky (out since Dec. 4 with a groin ailment), James Wisniewski (out since Dec. 6 with an upper-body injury) and Nathan Horton (missed the entire season recovering from shoulder surgery).
That quartet represents the club's top sniper, a Vezina-winning goalie, a top-four defenseman and a prized free agent power forward — big losses for a team light on talent.
Yet the Jackets have made it work.
They've recorded quality wins over this 6-3-0 stretch — a 6-0 drubbing of the Leafs in Toronto, back-to-back shutout wins over Tampa Bay and Minnesota — and have played well in their losses, dropping a tough 3-1 decision in Boston and a 2-1 defeat in Pittsburgh.
The most startling thing, though, is how Columbus has coped with its goaltending situation.
When Bobrovsky went down, the Jackets turned the No. 1 gig over to career journeyman Curtis McElhinney, a former Calgary draftee that spent time in Anaheim, Ottawa and Phoenix before joining Columbus last season (spending all of last year in AHL Springfield.) He won three of his first four starts in relief of Bobrovsky, including a 20-save shutout of the Wild.
But on Thursday, McElhinney was injured during the first period of a 4-2 win in New York… forcing Columbus to put in third-stringer Mike McKenna, who was playing his first NHL contest in three years.
Undeterred, McKenna stopped 17 of 18 shots the Rangers threw his way. That raised the spirits of head coach Todd Richards, who praised his players for a "great win."
"It's starting to get to that point where I think the confidence is growing in the group," Richards told the Columbus Dispatch. "And the confidence the coaching staff has in the group is starting to grow.
"We're starting to see more good things throughout a 60-minute game."
- pizzaman77 - Dec 13, 2013 at 12:44 PM
I honestly keep forgetting Columbus has a team. They're hardly ever talked about.
- buckeye044 - Dec 13, 2013 at 12:54 PM
Seems like a lot of the credit is going to JD, but Todd Richards is doing a pretty good job behind the bench.
And the big trade with the Rangers was made by Howson not JD. His big signing has yet to play a game.
- 950003cups - Dec 13, 2013 at 2:03 PM
They have a great AHL team that plays in MSG. When they need talent, they swap an overpaid, failing player for some young low paid guys in NYC. Good plan!!

The first Indian indentured labourers arrived in the Caribbean over 150 years ago. But how are the Indian characters in these plays to live in 20th century Trinidad? These plays explore their experiences as traditional values confront a rapidly changing world. Highway in the Sun tells the story of Tiger's and Urmilla's first year of marriage away from their extended family. How are they to relate to Joe and Rita, their new Afro-Creole neighbours? In Home Sweet India, Johnny, dismayed by his and his family's loss of culture, plans to return to India. But will this solve his problems? In Turn Again Tiger, Tiger learns that he cannot turn his back on the Indian past if he is to lay the ghosts of the past to rest and face the future whole. In Harvest in Wilderness, the traditional cane-cutting world of Balgobin confronts the new technology of his creolised nephew, Romesh, but the past continues to spring surprises.
These plays, originally broadcast by the BBC in the 1970s, bring together Selvon's most focused attention to the choices Indians in the Caribbean must make between tradition and creolisation.

Elizabeth Holmes reports on the presidential race.
As balloons and confetti rained down on him in a Dallas hotel ballroom, Sen. John McCain's campaign officially swung from the primary to the general election after securing his claim on the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday evening.
After more than a year of campaigning, McCain collected the 1,191 delegates needed to secure the nomination at the Republican National Convention in September. He crossed the threshold with wins in all four of Tuesday's nominating contests: Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont.
Voters in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont helped Sen. John McCain surpass the delegate count required to clinch the GOP nomination. Sen. McCain speaks at a post-primary celebration in Dallas.
His speech, to a rowdy crowd and accessorized with a giant "1,191" banner, was heavy on foreign policy and national security, while subtly continuing to attack his Democratic opponents. "America is at war in two countries and involved in a long and difficult fight with violent extremists who despise us, our values and modernity itself," he said. "It is of little use for Americans for their candidates to avoid the many complex challenges of these struggles by relitigating decisions of the past."
Along with the war in Iraq, a hallmark of the Navy veteran's campaign, the Arizona senator also touched on other challenges facing the country — trade issues, global warming and dependence on foreign oil.
McCain then launched into a slew of promises — from listening to voters to restoring their trust in the political system. Among the bigger applause lines: "American peoples' patience is at an end for politicians who value ambition over principle," he said, "and for partisanship that is less a contest of ideas than an uncivil brawl over the spoils of power." The crowd started yelling a three-syllable chant: "John Mc-Cain."
The solid return had been widely expected. The campaign Web site immediately featured a graphic trumpeting McCain's victory. And plans were already in place for McCain to travel to Washington Wednesday to lunch with President Bush, his bitter rival in the 2000 primary cycle, and pick up an endorsement from the Oval Office.

This item is provided upon accepting the quest [24] Klaven's Tower.
Contains Edit
The guards of this tower seem to be especially weak to my attacks. As I was scouting the backside of the tower, a patroller spotted me and attacked. I was able to easily dispatch the guard with a timely gouge followed by a backstab.
I waited in hiding for her partner to come investigate the commotion. The patroller came towards the bushes where I had dragged the corpse and began a search. Slowly, carefully, I crept up behind him, not wanting my ambush to be discovered.
When the opportunity was made available, I thrust my dagger into his backside! His lungs quickly gave way under the force of the attack as his corpse hit the ground with a dull thud.
It had been such a fast and violent ambush that the poor fool did not even have the time to scream in pain. Curiously, when I removed the blade from his backside, a foul odor leaked out of the perforated patroller.
It would appear that whatever it is that Klaven has locked away in the chest is having adverse effects upon the inhabitants of the tower. I suspect that the other guards may have similar weaknesses and perhaps, even Klaven himself has fallen victim to the fallout.

Sara's "I'm so proud to be a part of country music" line was SO fake. And I'm sure she meant it too which is why it's so funny! |

BAGHDAD, Iraq - "Goooood morning Bagh-dad!" With those words - a play on his 1987 movie "Good Morning Vietnam" - Robin Williams took the outdoor stage at Baghdad International Airport on Tuesday and delivered a barrage of raunchy comedy.
Williams was the lead performer in a U.S. military show that also featured actress Shannon Tweed, wrestler Curt Angle and stock car driver Mike Wallace. The show kicked off a tour of U.S. bases in Iraq with performances at the main airport in Baghdad.
Perched on a flatbed trailer in a rakishly tilted stocking cap and camouflage jacket, Williams surveyed the crowd of 200 American and Australian soldiers, and told them their garb would be fashionable on the streets of Los Angeles.
"I'm looking at a group of heavily armed people here," Williams joked with the soldiers, most of them wearing helmets and body armor. "I'm telling myself, 'If you're not funny, it's a problem.'"

The U.S. blood supply is among the safest in the world. Nearly all people infected with HIV through blood transfusions received those transfusions before 1985, the year HIV testing began for all donated blood.
The Public Health Service has recommended an approach to blood safety in the United States that includes stringent donor selection practices and the use of screening tests. U.S. blood donations have been screened for antibodies to HIV-1 since March 1985 and HIV-2 since June 1992. The p24 Antigen test was added in 1996. Blood and blood products that test positive for HIV are safely discarded and are not used for transfusions.
Tests Performed on Each Unit of Donated Blood* (Source: American Red Cross) | ||
Disease | Test | Year Implemented |
HIV/AIDS | HIV/AIDS HIV- I Antibody test | 1985 |
HIV-1/2 Antibody test | 1992 | |
HIV-I p24 Antigen test | 1996 | |
HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C | Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) | 1999 |
Hepatitis C | Hepatitis C Anti-HCV | 1990 |
Hepatitis B | Hepatitis B Surface Antigen test | 1971 |
Hepatitis B Core Antibody | 1987 | |
Hepatitis | Hepatitis ALT | 1986 |
Syphilis | Syphilis Serologic test | 1948 |
Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) | HTLV-I Antibody | 1989 |
HTLV -I/II Antibody | 1998 |
The improvement of processing methods for blood products also has reduced the number of infections resulting from the use of these products.
Currently, the risk of infection with HIV in the United States through receiving a blood transfusion or blood products is extremely low and has become progressively lower, even in geographic areas with high HIV prevalence rates.
*This list is subject to change as new blood safety opportunities and requirements emerge. Additional tests may be performed to meet special patient needs.

Ready to break out of its three-game losing streak, Johns Hopkins showed up particularly fired up before Friday night's contest against Albany and the heralded Thompson trio. The Blue Jays carried that intensity through the night, leaning on their defense to dictate tempo and running their offense at an efficient pace to take a 13-8 victory over the Great Danes.
The Blue Jays' defense set the tempo from the starting whistle, flexing a strong man defense in the first quarter that visibly frustrated Albany's offense. The Danes' frustration carried through the entire first half, as Hopkins' defensive unit forced 14 turnovers and held Albany to just three shots in the combined first and second quarters.
Albany attackmen Miles, Lyle and Ty Thompson finished with nine points in the game, but only one came in the first half.
"We knew coming into this game that they had a lot of great players," Blue Jays senior defenseman Jack Reilly said. "[Albany is] a very good team, so we wanted to come out very fast and set the tone early. A lot of times we've come out flat. Whether or not it's a takeaway check or a defensive set we all wanted to be on the same page today, and in the first two quarters we were extremely happy about that."
"During warmups you could tell that [ Hopkins was] ready to play," Great Danes goalie Blaze Riorden, who made a game-high 12 saves on the night, said . "They come out hooting and hollering, and we were hooting and hollering. We knew we were on national television, it's always a great game. They came out hungry, and they took it to us early."
The Blue Jays absorbed a strong third quarter from the Danes, who scored four goals out of halftime. Hopkins quickly found a response; goalie Eric Schneider made four big saves, and the defense broke a deadly 6-on-4 man-down situation with 7:41 left in the third quarter on a crucial caused turnover forced by defenseman John Kelly. The Blue Jays scored three more goals in the fourth to put the comeback out of reach.
"I was the guy at halftime who was worried about the run, because I knew it was coming," Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said. "I told our guys what I would be saying in the lockerroom if I was them. I would have challenged our guys."
Albany's lone first-half goal came during an extra man opportunity with 8:52 left in the second on a shot from midfielder Bennett Drake assisted by Miles Thompson. The Danes eventually found their offensive tempo in the second half, scoring seven. Miles scored two goals and two assists, while Lyle Thompson tied him in points production with a goal and three assists. Ty Thompson and Eric Scala also scored for Albany.
"[Hopkins] came out really ready to play in the first quarter and kind of overwhelmed us," Albany coach Scott Marr said. "I think they got to every 50-50 groundball in that period, ran some good offense... Give them credit. I know it's been a tough couple weeks for them here and they came out and played with a little bit of desperation and we weren't ready for that...you can't dig yourself a hole like that with a team that is this good."
Blue Jays Junior attackman Wells Stanwick made a game-high six assists, five of which came in the first half. His output tied Hopkins' individual game assists record, set by Dan Denihan against Hofstra back in 2000. Attackmen Ryan Brown and Brandon Benn each scored three goals apiece, the majority of which were time-and-room shots from 10 yards and beyond.
Midfield offense also played a big role in Hopkins' win. The unit scored seven goals in the game led by Cattoni's four goals Connor Reed, Phil Castronova and LSM Michael Pellegrino each scored once. Together the Blue Jays scored 13 times with 25 shots on goal in the game.
"We didn't score goals because of individuals," Pietramala said. "We didn't score goals because guys made great plays. We scored goals because guys ran the offense. We scored goals because guys weren't selfish and they did what we asked them to do."
In a statistical bright spot, Albany middie Connor Russell finished 14 for 24 against Hopkins Drew Kennedy at face-offs.
"If you told me before the game we would go 14-of-24 at face offs I would probably have said we would have won by three or four goals," Marr said. "For us to have that many possessions off the face-off, that doesn't happen too often and if we get that many possessions we probably do score. But we did not possess the ball well and we did not take care of our opportunities in the first half."
Phone For Help
A native of Albany, N.Y., Blue Jays defenseman Jack Reilly mentioned that he played the Thompsons in summer ball but never in an official game before tonight. Knowing he would be going against Tewaaraton candidate Lyle Thompson, Reilly called on an old mentor for help prior to Friday's game.
"I was talking to [former Johns Hopkins All-American defenseman] Tucker Durkin the other night," Reilly said post-game. "He said he's just that type of player, he's going to make plays. I had to understand that, I really wanted to contain him, and I really wanted him to have to beat me. I felt pretty happy about that, and I have to give a shout out to my defense, the few times I got beat sliding and double teams helped me out."
Johns Hopkins partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project for the game, and as part of the WWP efforts former Army lacrosse player Capt. Ben Harrow spoke to the team and represented on the Blue Jays' sidelines during Friday's contest.
"He delivered a message that I think we all felt, we all heard and we all benefited from. ...It was neat to have a true hero alongside of us," Pietramala said. "That was as important to our win as anything in terms of making us understand what's really important in life."
Next Up
Albany left Baltimore and headed for Connecticut where they will face America East foe Hartford for a 1 p.m. game Sunday afternoon. At 4-5, the Danes will need to turn their attention to their conference lineup, with tough games left against Stony Brook, UMBC and Binghamton. So what will Albany focus on heading into the AE run?
"We got to talk about our starts," Marr said. "We have to come out on Sunday against Hartford and establish the pace we want to play and have a good solid start to the game."
Hopkins has a week to prepare for its annual rivalry contest against future Big Ten conference foe Maryland, set for Saturday April 12. Game time is 2 p.m. at Homewood Field.

Top 5 fighters OUTSIDE the UFC/Zuffa
Bantamweight: Masakazu Imanari, Masakatsu Ueda, Zach Makovsky.
Featherweight: Bibiano Fernandes, Malron Sandro, Hiroyuki Takaya, Joe Warren, Michihiro Omigawa, Joachim Hansen Lightweight: Gilbert Melendaz, Shinya Aoki, Eddie Alveraz Welterweight: Nick Diaz, Paul Daley Middleweight:Jorge Santiago Lightheavyweight: Gegard Mousasi (when he wins the DREAM LHW Grand Prix) Heavyweight: Fedor, Fabricio Werdum Since Im open-minded,have no promotion loyalty and not a UFC nuthugger, I can see these guys deserve top 5 status |
Middleweight... Jorge Santiago??
You ever heard of Jacare or Hector Lombard?? |
Hector Lombard is one of the guys I most want to see in the UFC.
1. Hector Lombard
2. Nick Diaz 3. Fabricio Werdum 4. Shinya Aoki 5. Dan Henderson Top Five Guys I want back for one-night-only 1. Dan Severn - for his 100th win 2. Fedor Emelianenko - to fight Brock 3. Kazushi Sakuraba - to fight Randy Couture in a Japan 4. Hong-Man Choi - to fight number five 5. Shaq |
Lombard? who has the guy beat exactly? anyone with a name who he has faced has beat him.
Diaz Fedor Aoki Melendez Overeem Bibiano Mousasi Daley |
He hasn't lost in four years.. he does need a step up in competition but dude is smashing everybody that any promotion puts in front of him... right now he looks in his prime... I'd bet all my credits that he'd rip Jorge Santiagos head off whom of which I questioned when I named Lombard.. |
Ticked most of who i would pick there Syko, i'd add Werdum and i would love to see some K-1 guys like Pete Aerts and Scemmy schilt, maybe badir hari etc.
Would love to see a Clash of the titans, maybe Overeem vs Brock, I wonder who would be stronger! or maybe throw in Marious pudzinowski vs Hong man choi lol and james tony could ref it, wouldnt be a sideshow at all! haha. |
That promotion can really rub off on fans sometimes. Look at Dan Henderson... he was #2 middleweight in the world. 1 loss to an extremley dangerous and skilled fighter in another organization and absolutley no promotion and he's fallen off of almost everybodys top 10 MW list even though he holds victories over Okami, Belfort, Bisbing, and Palhares, all of which are in the top 10. |

Recent reviews:
August 11, 2014 - It's funny, I ordered two pairs in the same size...one is too big and slips off my heel, the other is slightly too small but I'm still hoping they stretch a bit. Love the look and they would be really comfortable if they fit right.
July 6, 2014 - I love these shoes! I have them in several colors. The fact that they help The Animal Rescue Site is a bonus!
June 22, 2014 - These shoes are great! I wear a size 6 1/2 so ordered size 7 and they fit perfectly from the start. They only get more comfortable the more you wear them. I have them in lavender, white and black, five pairs in all. Whenever (ever?) they get more colours in size 7 I'll buy more!
April 1, 2014 - Nice shoes - runs small & too narrow for my feet. Had to give them away.
January 20, 2014 - I have had a pair of the lavendar shoes for over a year now and they are still holding up very well and in great shape. I normally wear a 9 or 10 and ordered these in a 10 and they are very comfortable. A little tight the first time you wear them, but they stretch a little and then are extremely comfortable. Great price and great value!!

Spring showers? Not yet my daffofil, slow down!Posted Wednesday, January 20, 2010, at 9:09 PM
Most of our 'daffs" are starting to emerge and I fear they will get a shock. Anyone else have impatient spring flowers?
Jere, how about those we planted on the square? I never got around to protecting my figs. I think they will survive what we have had so far, but a late freeze would put them back again. My mother-in-law reminded me that I did not put an extra layer of wood chips on the taro root either.

My daffadil "greens" usually start poking through about now (haven't looked yet this year), but tend to stop for a few weeks and finally finish coming up in late Feb/early March. -- Posted by neighborhood mom on Thu, Jan 21, 2010, at 1:48 PM
I know we have a warm (relatively) micro climate facing South and surrounded by rock walls, a house and rock patios, but could wait a few weeks. Of course it gets my 'green blood' circulating.

The News-Herald (
Kevin Knight sworn in as new Mentor Police chief (with video)
By Betsy Scott
Friday, January 4, 2013
Kevin Knight never minded a little hard work.
Whether it was mowing his grandmother's lawn as a boy growing up in Cleveland's Slavic Village or selling shoes to work his way through St. Ignatius High School, he did what he had to do.
His work ethic is among the strengths that helped earn him the top cop job in Lake County's largest city. On Friday, he officially was sworn in as Mentor's new police chief before an overflow crowd in City Council chambers.
"It's something I've worked towards my entire career," he said earlier. "I'm a stakeholder in this community. It's very important to me to keep the community safe."
Knight has made his home in Mentor since shortly after coming aboard the department in 1981. He attends St. Mary's of the Assumption Church in the city and has raised a family of three there with his wife of 29 years. He also is actively involved in Boy Scouts, serving as assistant scout master of his 14-year-old son's troop.
It was a fairly ordinary path that led the grandson of Polish immigrants to the city. He got a bachelor's degree in the administration of justice at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Mo., and was hired for his first and only law enforcement job with Mentor, joining two years after Dan Llewellyn, whose shoes he will fill.
"He was my training officer," Knight noted.
Like many immigrants and their offspring, the family name was modified. Knight was born from Wieczorek (a shortened version of Wieczorkowski), which roughly translates to the word for "dusk" in Polish.
"That's how we got 'night,' " he said, adding that his father changed it before his birth, adding a "K" when he opened Knight's Beverage on East 71st Street.
An FBI National Academy graduate, the new chief has no shortage of goals. They include: fighting the drug problem, particularly heroin; providing safe schools; staying up on technology; taking on some deer management duties; and improving customer service.
"Eighty-five to 90 percent of complaints you get from citizens could be avoided if better people skills were used -- attitude, tone of voice," he said. "We have an occupation where we're dealing with people at their worst. It isn't anything you can ever take lightly."
The 54-year-old will oversee 119 employees, including 81 sworn officers, and be paid about $115,000.
"He was not only our most senior captain, but he's also had a lot of experience in an acting chief role," City Manager Ken Filipiak said. "Chief Llewellyn has done a great job of preparing all of his command staff. (Kevin) is ready. It's an easy transition. ... He has my full confidence."

A novel polymer produced by a bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent polychaete annelid. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12147080 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
AIMS: The objective of the present work was to describe an aerobic, mesophilic and heterotrophic marine bacterium, designated HYD657, able to produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS). It was isolated from a East Pacific Rise deep-sea hydrothermal vent polychaete annelid. METHODS AND RESULTS: This micro-organism, on the basis of the phenotypical features and genotypic investigations, can be clearly assigned to the Alteromonas macleodii species and the name A. macleodii subsp. fijiensis biovar deepsane is proposed. Optimal growth occurs between 30 and 35 degrees C, at pH between 6.5 and 7.5 and at ionic strengths between 20 and 40 g x l(-1) NaCl. The G + C content of DNA was 46.5%. This bacterium excreted, under laboratory conditions, an EPS consisting of glucose, galactose, rhamnose, fucose and mannose as neutral sugars along with glucuronic and galacturonic acids and a diacidic hexose identified as a 3-0-(1 carboxyethyl)-D-glucuronic acid. Its average molecular mass was 1.6 x 10(6) Da. CONCLUSIONS: The bacterium HYD657, for which the name A. macleodii subsp. fijiensis biovar deepsane is proposed, produces an unusual EPS in specific medium. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Due to its interesting biological activities, applications have been found in cosmetics. Its probable contribution to the filamentous microbial mat in the Alvinella pompejana microenvironment can be also mentioned. |

Why was clemency trending last week?
1878, in vogue 1881, from Greek aisthetes "one who perceives," from stem of aisthanesthai "to perceive, to feel" (see aesthetic).
I want to be an aesthete, And with the aesthetes stand; A sunflower on my forehead, And a lily in my hand. ["Puck," Oct. 5, 1881]

S4Gear Introduces the LockDownX Binocular Containment and Deployment System
Thanks to S4 Gear, there's an all new, functional way to keep your optics locked down and ready for use.
SUPERIOR, Wisc. Building upon the enormous success of its original LockDown binocular harness, S4Gear has followed up with the introduction of the new feature-packed and ultra-lightweight LockDownX Optics Deployment System.
The LockDownX was designed for maximum comfort, incorporating an X-style harness design that evenly distributes the weight of the binocular across your back to virtually eliminate shoulder or neck tension, while holding the binocular close to your body in just about any position. Constructed of high-performance air-weave fabric, the LockDownX is extremely breathable for added cooling during early season hunts. Multiple adjustment points allow easy resizing when wearing extra layers of heavy clothing.
The LockDownX's wider, low-profile binocular shield provides superior optics protection as well as constant security for your expensive binocular, yet it affords the user rapid and quiet deployment. Unlike most binocular harnesses that employ elastic straps and require constant tension, the LockDownX's unique ShockCord design allows the binocular to be easily raised to eye-level without requiring any additional upward pressure to hold them in place during glassing. The LockDownX is truly the first tension-free binocular harness system the hunting industry has ever seen.
The LockDownX fits binoculars from 5.75 to 7.5 inches in length via the adjustable flap cord, and the hood of the binocular shield can be molded to fit tightly for a low-clearance setup. Available in black or Realtree APG, the LockDownX has a suggested retail price of $54.99 for black and $64.99 for Realtree APG.
S4Gear makes outdoor products that get noticed'innovative, cutting-edge equipment that supplies an air of confidence to the outdoor enthusiast. S4Gear is dedicated to providing superior quality, craftsmanship, and technically advanced products that meet the demands of nature and those who seek to tame it. S4Gear launched in 2010 with a single product: the Sidewinder Retractable Tether System. Since then, S4Gear has developed an array of great and innovative products including the JackKnife Smart Phone Bow Mount and the LockDown Optics Deployment System.

Preview Google Docs, Maps, YouTube, Picasa and Flickr in Gmail Messages
They're all just switches you have to flip in Gmail's Labs section, but they're all a big help that doesn't slow down Gmail hardly at all. If an email you receive happens to have a link to one of Google's prime services, or a Yelp or Flickr entry, you'll get a quick-glance preview of that item in the email. If somebody's pointing you to a Google Doc, you'll see the start of that doc in the email footer, so you can screw up the appropriate level of anticipation or boredom. Turn them on from this Labs search.
Get Birthday Reminders from Google Calendar
Why should you bother updating and cleaning out your Google Contacts? Because once you get through the tedium of adding in friends and important contacts' birthdays, you can head into your Calendar settings and check the box to the right of "Contacts' Birthdays and Events", so that you'll always know when to send a card, email or quick mention. It's a lot more reliable than hoping you see the notification in Facebook. (Thanks for the tip, timepiece!)
Copy from Docs or Chrome on One Computer, Paste to Another
Maybe work has blocked Gmail, but not Google Docs. Or maybe you want to remember something that you're going to paste into Google Docs quite a bit. Any which way you use it, Google's Web Clipboard — built into Google Docs' menu bar, and also as a Chrome extension. The Web Clipboard also does the job of stripping or retaining HTML formatting, which is handy if your normal Ctrl+C/V shortcuts normally mess with your formatting.
Search Google Docs and Gmail Messages at Once
Did you write that website password in an email to Bob, or did you send it to him inside a document? If you need to find something in your Gmail, Google Apps mail, and/or Google Docs account, you'll want to enable Apps Search in your mail Labs. Now your Gmail searches automatically include Google Docs in-document searching, too.
Send Reader Items to Gmail, Calendar or Elsewhere
Don't just tack a star onto interesting Reader feed items you come across — go ahead and send them straight into (full) Gmail for sending to friends. See a concert or event coming up? Fling it into Google Calendar. Those two are easy Reader Send-To tweaks, but most Google apps offer similar functionality through URL tweaking, so go ahead and get nuts. (FYI: To activate the Send-To menu without your mouse, hit Shift+T while perusing Reader items).
Push Every Ping You Get Through Gmail
Google offers nice apps for managing Talk messages through their widgets and so on. But you can manage all those little messages and pings through Gmail itself, along with Facebook, Twitter and other notifications. Whitson walks through using Gmail as your central, universal communications hub, and it's good training for anyone who feels beholden to keeping six tabs open at once, at all times.
Send Email from Other Domains Using Your Gmail Inbox
Setting up Gmail to send email from other accounts isn't too hard, but Gmail lets your recipients know that the mail was sent "on behalf of" your original address — and some spam filters might not be too cool with that. You can, however, manage all your mail from one inbox and keep it all kosher by authenticating your outgoing mail with a Google Apps account. It's a bit more setup, but the long-term convenience is worth the initial investment.
Google's always releasing neat little in-between and mash-up tools, so we very well could have missed a few. Tell us about your favourite Google all-together fix in the comments.

Court: Slowed education cuts not 'forward progress'
December 20, 2012 4:51 p.m.
SEATTLE — The Washington Supreme Court ruled today that the state Legislature isn't making enough progress toward finding more money for K-12 education in answer to the court's decision in the McCleary school funding lawsuit.
The high court told lawmakers they must have something better to report after they finish their work in spring 2013.
"Steady progress requires forward movement. Slowing the pace of funding cuts is necessary, but it does not equate to forward progress," wrote Chief Justice Barbara Madsen in the order filed today.
In January, the Supreme Court ruled the state isn't meeting its constitutional obligation to amply pay for basic education. In the past decade, education spending has gone from close to 50 percent to just above 40 percent of the state budget, despite the fact that some education spending is protected by the constitution.
State lawmakers have in recent years been dealing with large budget deficits, and earlier this year they cut $300 million in state funding.
The Supreme Court has given the Legislature until 2018 to fix the problem, but it wants to see yearly reports that "demonstrate steady progress."
Lawmakers filed their first report in September and lawyers representing the coalition that brought the lawsuit against the state responded in October. The Supreme Court's response to the two filings show the court mostly agrees with the coalition but did not take any punishing action against the Legislature.
State Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, said he worries that political posturing and a refusal by Republicans to even consider tax increases may prevent lawmakers from making the kind of progress the Supreme Court wants to see during this next session.
He and other legislative leaders estimate lawmakers need to find as much as $2.5 billion during this session — nearly $1 billion to close a budget gap and $1 billion to $1.5 billion to make a down payment on the McCleary decision — and Sullivan doesn't see $2.5 billion lawmakers can cut from the state budget without hurting people who depend on state services.
"We're heading into a constitutional crisis," if the Legislature fails to act and the Supreme Court has to decide what happens next, Sullivan predicted.
Madsen wrote that the next report, due right after lawmakers finish their work in 2013, needs to show how the Legislature will meet its deadline and what it has done so far. The ruling clarified what the court is looking for in the next report.
The attorney representing the coalition of school districts, parents and education groups that sued the state said he appreciated the Supreme Court's timing. By making a ruling now instead of during or after the legislative session, the Supreme Court is showing how serious it is about this decision, Thomas Ahearne said.
"The supremes are not just going to leave them alone and let them do whatever they want, like delay," he said.
Gov. Chris Gregoire called the ruling another wake-up call about how seriously the court is taking this issue.
"This is the most important issue for the Legislature this session and in the budget I announced this week I offered a path that I think meets the requirements of the Supreme Court. More importantly it is a path that I believe meets the needs of our students," she said.
In a dissent filed with Madsen's order, Justice James M. Johnson wrote that her order violates the state constitution in two ways: the separation of powers and the delegation of education to the Legislature.

John Mullin of CSN Chicago joins Mike Florio to discuss the release of Brian Urlacher. According to Muillin, the way the decision was handled has put the Bears in a bad light.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!PFT Live: Bears mishandled Urlacher situation
wnstonchill says: Mar 22, 2013 6:53 PM
This is typical in Bearsland. It's called the "McCaskey Effect". This story is getting old, but nonetheless, the headline is true. The Bears' brass needed to put all the cards on the table up front. A counter offer should've never come into play. They're up against the cap and that's just part of this business. All the Bears needed to do was tell Urlacher that we'd love to keep you here and you've been a great player for this team for 14 years. Make your bottom line offer as to what you need to come back and we'll tell you up front "Yes we can work with that or No we can't work with that"! Urlacher deserved better than this, but just the same, he's been taken care of here in Chicago. Right now his pride is hurt and he'll eventually move on.

I definitely have movies and Hollywood on the brain (saw Batman this weekend!!). I was perusing our website today and found this great article:
Former Philadelphia cop Patricia Getty is making the most of her retirement years. After more than a quarter of a century on the force, Getty began a second life as an actor. Recently she appeared as Margaret Tutweiler, the director of communications for the George Bush 2000 election team, in the hit HBO film Recount. You can read more about Getty in the AARP Bulletin.
How about you – do you have a dream role you want to pursue in your golden years, or have you already?

" Intro: I've listened and owned many Universal and Custom IEMs made in the US (JH Audio, Westone, Aurisonics), Asia (Tralucent, FitEar), but I realized I don't have many European IEMs (EarSonics) or even a CIEM, at least until the name Vision Ears came up in a PM thread with Mimouille (I slightly blame you for this bro) and I saw the Vision Ears/Rhines/Compact Monitors thread. But..." --VisceriousZERO

The Custom Art - Music One
"I have Music One for a while now, I already wrote some impressions in the Custom Art thread in here. So I decided to combine them and do a proper review. It is a little gem that punches way above its price point, so definitely deserves a review in my view. Starting with the design. Single BA per side, silicone earpieces, permanent or optional detachable cable (with a little extra..." --AmberOzL

One of the most effective responses to human vulnerability to environmental change is to strengthen mechanisms for early warning. Many actions can be taken to protect life and property if warning is received in time. While some threats are inherently unpredictable, many of those arising from threats from environmental degradation and mismanagement, and from human activities, can now be anticipated with some precision. Early warning capacities are increasing steadily with technological advances in environmental observing, assessment and communications. Examples are the cyclone early warning systems that have been established in India and Mauritius.
Conventionally, early warning means an urgent indication of an impending hazard (ISDR Secretariat 2001). There is a need for both sudden onset warnings, for imminent disaster threats such as tropical storms and floods, and slow onset warnings for disseminating information about disasters that may develop over time such as famine and drought.
The term early warning is often taken to mean prediction' when in fact the occurrence of many threatening events is essentially unpredictable. Early warning simply means that an event is imminent and the time to escape from it or take action against it is now. Early warning information can be produced in the context of a broader vulnerability assessment process, which includes the production and communication of forecast information and the incorporation of that information in user decisions.
To be effective, an early warning system must be able to stimulate a timely response before an event takes place. It must identify who are the users of early warning information and what is the most efficient way to reach them with credible information to enhance their powers of decision-making. It must then translate relevant data into early warning indicators that decision-makers can easily interpret and use.
Ultimately, the single most important factor that will lead governments to incorporate the use of early warning systems and information in decision-making is the political will to invest in response systems, both nationally and internationally (Buchanan-Smith 2001). One example of an operational early warning system which has generated such a response is the Famine Early Warning System Network for Africa (see box).

FEWS NET is a USAID-funded partnership to improve food security in 17 drought-prone countries in Africa, through African-led food security and response planning networks that reduce the vulnerability of people at risk. FEWS NET, scheduled to run until 2005, is the successor to FEWS, which began in 1985. The goal is to strengthen the abilities of African countries and regional organizations to manage threats to food security by providing early warning and vulnerability information. Achievements include:

text: CAMILI-CAT LOVE LOST #1 Written and illustrated by Patrick Fillion! The evil Dr. Pupae has done quite a number on Camili-Cat and our hero's been drastically altered. He's been "physically enhanced" on a molecular level, so now he's almost invulnerable. He's got sexy new body hair, a shorter haircut, a goatee and … his cock's been circumcised! But beyond all of that, Pupae has told Cam that he's killed Locus. No matter what physical tortures Cam's endured at the hands of Pupae, this revelation wounds him most of all. Filled with an almost unbearable sense of loss, Cam vows to clone Locus, thereby bringing him back to life. He plans to steal cloning equipment from Nelvo Plour. Known as a particularly sadistic creep, Nelvo won't just give up his property, and Cam soon lands square in the gangsters' twisted clutches along with Ducky and Aza, two entertainers from the club who unwittingly get ensnared in his plans. Can our hero escape Nelvo and see Locus live again? Perhaps... but he can't do this alone. He'll need to turn to Felicia and Imanno for help. And beyond bringing Locus back to life, Cam hopes that Felicia can turn her scientific knowledge toward the task of restoring him to his former self and undoing the damage Pupae has caused. Will Cam manage to escape Nelvo? Will he ever again find himself in Locus' loving arms? Will he get his foreskin back? 24 pages, paperback comic, Full colour illustrations throughout.
