Tulsa man pleads no contest in roommate's death
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A Tulsa man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading no contest in the death of his roommate. Michael Cypert entered his no-contest plea Tuesday to second-degree murder. He was initially charged with first-degree murder in the 2010 death of his roommate, 46-year-old Robert Nichols.
Police say Cypert poured vodka on Nichols, then set him on fire. Nichols died several days later at a Tulsa hospital.
Prosecutors dismissed a charge of first-degree arson against Cypert.

2003 BEST Beacon Hill Restaurant, Neighborhood
Ristorante Toscano
Real Italian food isn't about layering precious specialty ingredients into one impressive dish. It's about honest, simple ingredients that spotlight intense flavors. So it is at Toscano, Charles Street's beloved tribute to Northern Italy. The space, divided by brick walls hung with cooking instruments, antique maps, and handpainted plates, is rustic Tuscan through and through. As is the welcome. And the food. Chef Vinicio Paoli whips up such traditionals as vitello tonnato, roasted veal sliced thin as a dime and smothered with fresh tuna sauce, and a risotto that highlights nothing more complicated than earthy, meaty wild porcini.

Civil partnership
Where to form your partnership?
You can have a civil ceremony at one of our registration offices or approved ceremony venues.
Civil Partnerships in Hampshire
To help you arrange your civil partnership you will need to speak to a Registration Officer during register office opening hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm).
Our Contact Centre (0300 555 1392 - call charges apply) is open Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm, Saturday 9.30am - 4pm. If you make contact outside register office opening hours, Contact Centre colleagues will take your details and ensure that a Registration Officer returns your call the next working day.
Forming your partnership outside Hampshire
You can form a civil partnership at any registration office or approved venue of your choice.
Forming a civil partnership abroad
If you wish to form a civil partnership abroad according to the laws of that country you must ensure that you know and follow the regulations. To hold a ceremony in another country there are minimum residency requirements and this time will be built into the overall length of your stay. Most countries will need to see certain documents. See the Foreign and Commonwealth website or contact your local Register Office for further information.
To arrange the date and time of your partnership at...
A Hampshire Registration Office
Telephone 0300 555 1392 call charges
Phone lines open Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm, Saturday 9.30am - 4pm
A Hampshire approved venue
Contact the venue to check availability and agree a date, then contact us on 0300 555 1392 to book the registration staff. The venue must be booked before an appointment to give a notice of civil partnership can be made.
A non-refundable booking fee is payable at the time of the provisional booking of a Hampshire venue to secure your selected date/time. You will be charged a further booking fee if you subsequently change the date or time of your provisional booking. Although a provisional booking can be made well in advance of your proposed ceremony date, you cannot give notice of civil partnership more than 12 months before the date of your ceremony. Once a notice of civil partnership has been given, any change of venue will result in a fresh notice having to be given.
A venue outside Hampshire
You will need to make arrangements with the local registration office and approved venue in the district in which you wish to form your partnership
Cancelling a ceremony
If you need to cancel a ceremony you have already paid for you must confirm the cancellation in writing. Payments will be refunded depending on the notice given:
Three calendar months or more – full refund
One to three calendar months – 50% refund
Less than one calendar month (or failure to cancel) – NO refund
Before a civil partnership can take place, the law requires that each person gives a notice of civil partnership.
Notice must be given in the district in which you have had residency for the previous 7 full days.
Giving notice
It is a legal requirement for both parties to give notice at least 28 days before but no more than one year before a civil partnership formation. A fee of £35 each (£47 if subject to Home Office referral scheme from 2nd March 2015) is payable by card or cash.
The waiting period after giving notice is now 28 days, with cases who have been referred to the Home Office may extend to 70 days
Making an appointment
If you live in Hampshire (not Southampton or Portsmouth)
You will need to contact us, tel 0300 555 1392
Please ensure that you take all the correct documentation with you on the day. If the relevant documents are not produced it may be necessary to re-schedule your appointment.
If you live in Southampton or Portsmouth
Foreign Nationals subject to immigration control
Notice of civil partnership must be given at a 'designated' registration office by both partners together, for Hampshire this would be Winchester Register Office, Aldershot Register Office or Eastleigh Register Office
Urgent civil partnerships (Registrar General's Licence)
In the event of someone who is terminally ill wishing to form a civil partnership, it is possible to do this in a short time scale. Contact your local registration office on tel 0300 555 1392.
General Register Office Document Checklist
It is a pre-requisite of taking a notice of civil partnership that we are able to satisfactorily prove your nationality and that you are free to form a partnership. Therefore we must be able to link any documents that you are producing to prove nationality and condition to you in the name you are using on the day you give notice. So for instance if you are producing a birth certificate as proof of nationality and the name you are currently using is different to that shown on the birth certificate, you must produce a document showing how you got from your birth name to your current name, which might be in the form of a marriage certificate, civil partnership certificate or perhaps a change of name deed.
If you are producing a Decree Absolute or Dissolution of Civil Partnership or a Death Certificate for a late spouse, which is in a different name to the name you are currently using, you must again be able to prove the link between the two names.
If you were born after 1983, do not have a passport and are producing a document to prove nationality of a parent, which is in a different name to the one shown on your birth certificate, we will also need to see a linking document (i.e. marriage certificate/civil partnership certificate or change of name deed) to prove the connection. For instance if your mother and father are divorced and your mother is re-married, her passport may well be in her new married name, which will not be the name shown on your birth certificate. So we would need to see the marriage certificate for her second marriage in order to link her to her previous name as shown on your birth certificate.
The Ceremony
After you have given notice of civil partnership, you will receive a pack which will include additional information to help you plan your ceremony. Staff at our registration offices will be happy to discuss any aspect of your ceremony to make sure the day is perfect for you. We will be on hand to guide you through the ceremony so there is no need to worry about a thing!
The Civil Partnership contract is a written one rather than a verbal one, so you can choose to have a simple signing ceremony in front of the Civil Partnership Registrar and two witnesses or a full ceremony with music, readings, and exchanging of personal vows and rings – or indeed anything in between!
Once you have signed the schedule, the witnesses and the Registrar will also sign. You will then be presented with a commemorative certificate and your official certificate(s) will be sent to you within two working days.
Below is a suggested order of ceremony if you wish to go for that option
Example Order of Ceremony
- Background music of your choice can be played as your guests are seated
- Entrance of the couple (either together or separately)
- A welcome and introduction
- A reading by one of your guests (optional)
- One or both of the couple is 'given away' (optional)
- Declaration that both are free to enter into a Civil Partnership
- Any personal vows or promises (optional)
- The exchange of rings (optional)
- Another reading by one of your guests (optional)
- The Signing of the Schedule
- Announcement that Civil Partnership has now been formed
- Presentation of Commemorative Certificate
- Photographs
- Exit of the couple
Any music, readings or additional vows should be of a non-religious nature, and must be confirmed in advance to ensure their suitability for a civil ceremony.
Important - Please read before choosing your readings and additional vows
We have a Suggested Reading Pack and additional vows, to give you some ideas.

The One Handed Backhand Community!
This thread is for all you one handers out there! If you're a user of the prettiest and most versatile backhand in tennis, then this thread is for you!
The essential elements of a great one handed backhand, courtesy of Bungalo Bill:
"The keys to a onehanded backhand are simple. Many times it is the player that makes this stroke more difficult than it should be.
The onehanded backhand is not a difficult stroke learn. It is simply made more difficult because of the quirks we add and that it requires more precise timing to hit effectively on a consistent basis. We tend to want the "flash" in the stroke rather than the fundamental. We want the sizzle rather than the simplicity. Many of us have a hard time accepting that simplicity is the key underlying principle in most professional onehanded backhands.
So here is my list of fundamental keys to a onehanded backhand.
Physical Traits
1. Lose weight: If you are overweight, you need to lose weight. Weight transfer is critical to hitting cleanly and on time which are key factors to hitting with effortless power. If you are overweight, you will tend to be on your heels more, sink in your arches, and will be slow in the timing of your weight transfer into the ball. Remember timing is nearly everything in the onehanded backhand.
2. Feet: Your feet need to move in a precise manner. No clumpy footwork. No lazy footwork. No tripping on your feet. They need to move efficiently and effectively even with the slightest of movements. Jump rope, hexagon drills, agility drills, etc...are a must and you need to get to the point that you feel light on your feet.
3. Leg strength: I think it is safe to say that many club players think that the onehanded backhand is about shoulder rotation and the hitting arm. Sometimes you will hear about the non-dominant arm as well. However, leg strength and the use of the legs is paramount for a onehander. Squats, lunges, etc...are key building blocks to improve your onehanded backhand.
4. Flexibility: In the hips especially. Get out the flexibility exercises and loosen up the hips, legs, neck, and shoulders.
5. Core muscles: Coaches have forgotton a key aspect in helping players hit a better onehander. They have forgotten the core. A strong core goes a long way to adding that "pop" you want to have in the ball.
6. Other muscles: You need to have strong forearm, triceps, and posterior shoulder/back muscles. Reverse flys, flys, tricep extensions are a must for a onehander. Get with Rickson to have him list out how one can build strength here.
1. Good efficient movement of your feet is without question. We have spoken about this many times on this site and its importance for tennis players in general. Do not subscribe to the "whatever works club" or the "just run to the ball club". You need to be able to hit a good topspin ball, to any place on the court, everytime, and with any ball that is headed toward you or away from you. Your mind and the way your feet move are critical to hitting on time.
The Swing
1. Feet: The swing starts from your feet. They need to be set with an emphasis to transfer your weight over your front leg/foot as you make contact.
2. Legs: Your legs are what brings your racquet hand below the ball. Do not fall into the trap thinking it is just the racquet head that is lowered. If you do, this is a prescription for a lazy backhand. You will most likely golf the ball and hit long more times than not.
3. Body Position: You should lower yourself so that when you are ready to bring the racquet forward, your body and racquet rise smoothly together as if both are hitting and rising through the ball to hit with topspin. The chair drill is an excellent way to build-up the sensation you need to feel for this.
4. Shoulders: Your shoulder turn is what brings your racquet back not just your arm. You need to turn so that your front shoulder goes under your chin.
5. Backswing: The smile pattern for the backswing is what takes the racquet back a bit farther and allows the racquet to rise in preparation for the racquet drop. The higher you raise the racquet the better skilled you will need to be for your timing. More is not better for a onehanded backhand due to the timing issues involved in the stroke. Simplicity and timing is what is better.
6. Arm Raise: The plane you should maintain with your hitting arm that is heading up through the ball needs to rise gradually and not too steeply. When you rise too steeply it increases your chance of hitting a short ball. Use the natural rise in your arm to help you learn what a good slope gradient should be. Braden used to say it is about a 30 degrees incline and miraculously your arm naturally raises the racquet in about a 30 degree incline. Whaaalaaa!
7. Head: Keep your head still at contact. Keep both eyes on the ball.
8. Front foot/leg: The onehanded backhand is a front foot hitting stroke.
9. Non-dominant arm: Extend the non-dominant arm toward the backfence so that you do not overrotate. The onehanded backhand is a linear stroke. Use the onehander as your bow and arrow stroke and the forehand as your cannon.
Dont move sideways too much: As mentioned above, keeping both eyes on the ball is important because it is your back eye that gives you your depth perception. If you turn too much sideways to move, you risk the chance of seeing the ball with only one eye (the front eye) and blocking the back eye with the bridge of your nose. Timing issues result. You also run the risk of sending your momentum towards the side fence instead of into the ball and make it harder to recover.
Other Items Worth Noting
1. Use less wrist when you are building your stroke: The wrist should be firm in the onehander when you are developing a good topspin with it. Because most club players lack the timing, strength, and practice time, reducing or eliminating wrist movement is huge. Only those players that have developed their backhands should use the wrist in the stroke to enhance their shot and even that should be kept to a minimum.
2. Long L: The long L is made by tracing the tip of your racquet, to your hand, and then to the shoulder. The bend in the L is at the hand. Maintaining the long L through the shot really helps to improve control and clean contact.
3. 45 degree angle: Most players have heard to hit the ball "in front of them". When a onehanded backhander uncoils back into the ball, the non-dominant arm goes back to counter the rotation. This braking mechanism allows the racquet arm to accelerate forward through the ball. It also helps to hold the body plane (shoulder to shoulder) at a 45 degree angle. This means when you make contact the ball will be in front of this body plane that is on an angle. Hitting in front of your body in this case is not referenced from being parallel to the baseline. It is in relation to the 45 degree angle that is imagined coming from the center of the net in a 45 degree angle to infinite.
4. Hit-Bounce-Hit: Use cadence to hit your onehanded backhand. Because timing is key as it relates to weight transfer, your rise up, hitting off your front foot, and your racquet making contact with the ball, it is important that you are focused on every ball you are about to hit and what happens before you hit it.
The onehanded backhand player needs to be a master at the use of his body in the shot. A good onehanded backhand player needs to have a good accelerating forward swing into the ball that is managable. If he wants to hit with more power, a good onehanded backhand looks to his legs, his core, or his weight transfer for ways to improve his ability to hit with manageable power. He does not look to just swinging his arm faster but looks to improve his power by calling up the use of other body parts. A good onehanded backhand topspin player is a master at the use of the entire kinetic chain for power, control, and balance."

One hander for life, although mine might not qualify as the prettiest or most versatile shot... :P
This thread gets my full support. We are here to help each other with the one handed backhand. No more bashing or nicknames. Just tips on improving the greatest stroke in tennis, the one handed backhand.
i'll join. but my backhand is still pretty wet behind the ears, it still works
I played briefly today and while my one handers weren't too rusty after a long layoff, I couldn't get as much on the sharp angles like I used to before. Tips on good crosscourt one handers would be appreciated.
Should I start rating this thread? :D
I can't believe it ! Starting playing matches like 2 days ago (instead of the usual rallies with underarm feeds). Today for the first time I did several one hand serve returns (not slices) and they were winners !
Yesterday's matches, I was returning serves with slices only. The slices were not winners but the todays drives were.
Never practiced this before.
Note to self: I must be a natural :-D
Can I join this club? Mine is called the Federer backhand! Fortunately I could not use a double handed back. :)
My custom comment: has resolved to rip bh serve returns, no more slice returns.
Hey I love my 1hbh, but it's a bit rusty right now so I throw this question out...
What's your favorite drill for improving a backhand? You can assume just a wall or a practice partner of equal skill.

With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack.
In a new National Security Presidential Directive , Bush lays out his plans for dealing with a "catastrophic emergency." (Ed.: Full text appended at end of this article.)
Under that plan, he entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility "for ensuring constitutional government."
He laid this all out in a document entitled "National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51″ and "Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20."
The White House released it on May 9.
Other than a discussion on Daily Kos led off by a posting by Leo Fender, and a pro-forma notice in a couple of mainstream newspapers, this document has gone unremarked upon.
The subject of the document is entitled "National Continuity Policy."
It defines a "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government function."
This could mean another 9/11, or another Katrina, or a major earthquake in California, I imagine, since it says it would include "localized acts of nature, accidents, and technological or attack-related emergencies."
The document emphasizes the need to ensure "the continued function of our form of government under the Constitution, including the functioning of the three separate branches of government," it states.
But it says flat out: "The President shall… Continue reading

In the 1950s and 60s the CIA began work to find means for influencing human
cognition, emotion and behavior. Through the use of the psychological understanding

long searched for better means of controlling human behavior. This research
has included the use of wireless directed electromagnetic energy under the heading
of "Information Warfare" and "Non Lethal Weapons." New technological capabilities have been developed in black budget projects[1] over the last few decades — including the ability to influence human emotion, disrupt thought, and present excruciating pain through the manipulation of magnetic fields.…

or the federal government.
"There are too many ifs, too many things going on," one male juror
said. "I don't know the whole story."
Others say they just don't pay close enough attention to world events to be
"I'm oblivious to that stuff," one prospective female juror said
during questioning this week. "I don't watch the news much. I try to avoid
The doubts were noted by a significant portion of the more than 160 people
who have been questioned individually since jury selection in the case began
April 16.
Padilla and two co-defendants are charged with being part of a North American
support cell for Islamic extremists. A jury is expected to be seated next week,
with testimony to begin May 14.
Padilla, a U.S. citizen held for 3 1/2 years as an enemy combatant, is accused
of applying for an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan. He was previously
accused of an al-Qaida plot to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb"
in a U.S. city, but that allegation is not part of the Miami case.
Before they came to court, each of the jurors filled out a 115-question form
asking about a wide range of legal, political and religious topics, particularly
their views of Arabs, Muslims and Islamic radicals. On question No.…

autumn, there was a military coup in Thailand. The leaders of the coup took
a number of steps, rather systematically, as if they had a shopping list. In
a sense, they did. Within a matter of days, democracy had been closed down —
the coup leaders declared martial law, sent armed soldiers into residential
areas, took over radio and TV stations, issued restrictions on the press, tightened
some limits on travel and took certain activists into custody.
They were not figuring these things out as they went along. If you look at
history, you can see that there is essentially a blueprint for turning an open
society into a dictatorship. That blueprint has been used again and again in
more and less bloody, more and less terrifying ways. But it is always effective.
It is very difficult and arduous to create and sustain a democracy, but history
shows that closing one down is much simpler. You simply have to be willing to
take the 10 steps.
As difficult as this is to contemplate, it is clear, if you are willing to
look, that each of these 10 steps has already been initiated in the United States
by the Bush administration.
Because Americans like me were born in freedom, we have a hard time even considering

Working for the Clampdown: What might the president do with his new power to declare martial law?
By James Bovard
04/25/07 "American Conservative" — – How many pipe bombs might it take to end American democracy? Far fewer than it would have taken a year ago.
The Defense Authorization Act of 2006 [Ed.: Details at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-1815], passed on Sept. 30, empowers President George W. Bush to impose martial law in the event of a terrorist "incident," if he or other federal officials perceive a shortfall of "public order," or even in response to antiwar protests that get unruly as a result of government provocations.
The media and most of Capitol Hill ignored or cheered on this grant of nearly boundless power. But now that the president's arsenal of authority is swollen and consecrated, a few voices of complaint are being heard. Even the New York Times recently condemned the new law for "making martial law easier."
It only took a few paragraphs in a $500 billion, 591-page bill to raze one of the most important limits on federal power. Congress passed the Insurrection Act in 1807 to severely restrict the president's ability to deploy the military within the United States. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 tightened these restrictions, imposing a two-year prison sentence on anyone who used the military within the U.S. without the express permission of Congress. But there is a loophole: Posse Comitatus is waived if the president invokes the Insurrection Act.
Section 1076 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 [Ed.: Details at www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-5122″] changed the name of the key provision in the statute book from "Insurrection Act" to "Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act." The Insurrection Act of 1807 stated that the president could deploy troops within the United States only "to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy." The new law expands the list to include "natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition"–and such "condition" is not defined or limited.…Continue reading

April 22, 2007 — Twenty-six firefighters who toiled at Ground Zero came down with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory illness that often attacks the lungs, in the five years after 9/11 – a significant increase, a new study has found.
The study has angered the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which complains that the NYPD has refused to acknowledge that 9/11 caused sarcoidosis in cops.
Half the firefighter cases were diagnosed in the first year after 9/11 – a rate six times higher than the average for the Bravest in the 15 years before 9/11, according to a paper to be published in CHEST, a medical journal.
The results "strongly argue for improved respiratory protection" at future fires, disasters and toxic sites, says the report, whose authors include FDNY top doctors David Prezant and Kerry Kelly.
The PBA, which has its own registry of ailing WTC responders, counts 19 cops with sarcoidosis.
Unlike the FDNY, the NYPD has been reluctant to link the disease to 9/11.
The NYPD has also rejected some cops' medical bills for sarcoidosis.
"First they denied any connection between the WTC and sarcoidosis. Now that there's scientific evidence, they refuse to accept it," PBA president Patrick Lynch told The Post.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Commissioner Ray Kelly welcomed line-of-duty death benefits recently given the daughter of detective James Zadroga, 34, a 9/11 responder who died of respiratory illness.
"The department hasn't refused to acknowledge a link. The medical division is reviewing the cases," Browne said.

Apr 20, 2007
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK An appeals court ruling could spell trouble for New Yorkers
suing the Environmental Protection Agency and its former chief for saying that
sooty Lower Manhattan air was safe to breathe after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
A three judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declared this
week that EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman and other agency officials
can't be held constitutionally liable for making rosy declarations about air
quality in the days following the World Trade Center's destruction.
The opinion, written by the court's chief judge, Dennis Jacobs, said opening
EPA workers up to lawsuits for giving out bad information during a crisis could
have a catastrophic side effect.
"Officials might default to silence in the face of the public's urgent
need for information," Jacobs wrote.
The ruling, filed Thursday, applied only to a suit brought by five government
employees who did rescue and cleanup work at ground zero, but it contained language
suggesting that similar legal claims could face trouble.
It specifically mentioned a class action lawsuit brought by lower Manhattan
residents who claim Whitman jeopardized their health by declaring that "the
air is safe to breathe" at a time when, according to the EPA inspector
general, a quarter of dust samples were recording unhealthy asbestos levels.
Last year, U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts, refused to dismiss that case,
calling Whitman's statements "conscience-shocking."
That decision is now on appeal and has yet to be argued before the 2nd… Continue reading
Terrorized by 'War on Terror': How a Three-Word Mantra Has Undermined America
By Zbigniew Brzezinski
Sunday, March 25, 2007
The "war on terror" has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration's elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America's psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.
The damage these three words have done — a classic self-inflicted wound — is infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks when they were plotting against us in distant Afghan caves. The phrase itself is meaningless. It defines neither a geographic context nor our presumed enemies. Terrorism is not an enemy but a technique of warfare — political intimidation through the killing of unarmed non-combatants.
But the little secret here may be that the vagueness of the phrase was deliberately (or instinctively) calculated by its sponsors. Constant reference to a "war on terror" did accomplish one major objective: It stimulated the emergence of a culture of fear. Fear obscures reason, intensifies emotions and makes it easier for demagogic politicians to mobilize the public on behalf of the policies they want to pursue. The war of choice in Iraq could never have gained the congressional support it got without the psychological linkage between the shock of 9/11 and the postulated existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.…Continue reading
The American Freedom Agenda's (AFA) mission is twofold: the enactment of a cluster of statutes that would restore the Constitution's checks and balances as enshrined by the Founding Fathers; and, making the subject a staple of political campaigns and of foremost concern to Members of Congress and to voters and educators. Especially since 9/11, the executive branch has chronically usurped legislative or judicial power, and has repeatedly claimed that the President is the law. The constitutional grievances against the White House are chilling, reminiscent of the kingly abuses that provoked the Declaration of Independence.
The 10-point American Freedom Agenda would work to restore the roles of Congress and the federal judiciary to prevent such abuses of power and protect against injustices that are the signature of civilized nations. In particular, the American Freedom Agenda would:
Bloomberg Seeks U.S. Aid for Treatment of 9/11 Illnesses
By SEWELL CHAN
WASHINGTON, March 21 — Testifying at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg pleaded for at least $150 million in annual federal aid to monitor and treat thousands of people who became ill after being exposed to dust and debris at ground zero.
The mayor also called for the creation of a special fund to compensate those who became sick, urging that the city and its contractors be protected from potentially ruinous liability as a result of lawsuits brought by rescue and recovery workers who have argued that they were not adequately protected from the environmental hazards left by the World Trade Center's collapse.
Senators from both parties expressed sympathy for the mayor's arguments, which were delivered at the start of a three-hour hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
A panel appointed by Mr. Bloomberg last month put the total cost of evaluating and treating everyone potentially affected by the trade center attack at $392.6 million a year. The panel called for the federal government to provide, at a minimum, $153 million a year to sustain health programs run by the Mount Sinai Medical Center, the Fire Department and Bellevue Hospital Center.
Mr. Bloomberg told the committee's chairman, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, that he supported a bill they introduced that would provide $1.9 billion for 9/11 health monitoring and treatment between 2008 and 2012.…Continue reading

"9/11 First Responders: Voices From The Pit"
Sunday, June 25th at Community Church
I'm not sure how David Miller found us, but he has been attending our Sunday events for at least 3 months. NY 911 Truth has been enriched by his presence. Between hearing of his experience as a first responder with his National Guard unit, reading the many recent articles about the plight of responders, and meeting several other responders at a conference sponsored by SUNY-New Paltz, we've had our eyes and hearts opened to a unique aspect of the 9/11 tragedy.
We knew we had to have an event dedicated to calling attention to the cause of responders, survivors, and also downtown residents who were all told by the EPA, the air was safe to breath. However, 14 rescue dogs died and nearly 5 years later many responders have died, thousands are very sick, can't work, and are in dire straits financially. Adding insult to injury, 1 billion dollars of federal funds are sitting in an offshore bank account and many have had to fight to get workers comp due to incredibly slick maneuvering by government agencies. Our event began with comments from Father Frank Morales who served as chaplain at Ground Zero in the early weeks after the attacks. He shared an essay about his experience which was deeply moving.…Continue reading

The Hidden History of 9-11-2001
Research in Political Economy
2006 Volume 23.
Ed. by Paul Zarembka
Governments have long found it useful to manufacture rationale for pursuing war and repression. The sinking of the Battleship Maine at the outset of the Spanish-American-Cuba War is the classic example. When President Harry Truman wanted to offer assistance to anti-Communist forces in Greece and Turkey in 1947, Republican senator Arthur Vandenburg promised his support if Truman would "scare the hell out of the American people." In 1962, the Pentagon mounted Operation Northwoods, a plan involving false-flag actions, state-sponsored terrorism and the hijacking of planes on U.S. and Cuban soil designed to generate American public support for an invasion of Cuba. Then there was the case of the distraught young Iraqi woman testifying before U.S. Congressional hearings in the run-up to Gulf War I about babies being tossed out of incubators by Saddam Hussein's soldiers.
The essays included in The Hidden History of 9-11-2001 lead to the conclusion that the attack on the World Trade Center may have been the biggest false-flag operation of them all. This 2006 issue of Research in Political Economy examines different aspects of 9-11, which, taken together, provide a serious challenge to those who dismiss the possibility that a government-based conspiracy was behind the events of 9-11.
The first section of the journal debunks the information provided by the U.S. government about the number and identity of the hijackers. Following that, other authors provide evidence indicating that it was impossible for the burning jet fuel from the planes to have caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers; that a series of military war games taking place on 9-11 caused confusion in military circles and prevented normal emergency response operations to kick in; and that the insider trading in the shares of the airlines that were hijacked that day lays open the possibility that huge sums were made by people who were aware in advance of what was coming.…Continue reading
Information about New Film and Interviews at Visibility911.com
Visibility 9-11 last week published a three-part series focusing on the 9-11 dust and its aftermath. One week after September 11th, Christie Todd Whitman, then Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, stated, "Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington D.C., that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink", even though the EPA had information to the contrary.
In fact, the 9-11 dust was extremely caustic and in August of 2003, the EPA issued a report documenting changes made by the Bush administration to the EPA's initial cautionary statements, which were originally worded to warn the public of the dangers in the dust. These warnings were changed to reassurances and the public never heard the truth. These lies have resulted in at least 70,000 people getting sick from breathing the toxic dust, and now, over five years later, they are dying. If you think our own government isn't capable of deliberately allowing its own citizens to become sickened and die, think again.
Interviewed in this series:
Jenna Orkin of the World Trade Center Environmental Organization
Penny Little, producer of the new 9-11 documentary 9-11 Dust and Deceit at the World Trade Center
John Feal, president of the Feal Good Foundation.

Dec. 11 — A US Department of Homeland Security program that compiles data on millions of travelers and determines how likely they are to be terrorists may be operating illegally, according to privacy advocates and some members of Congress.
The Automated Targeting System (ATS) gathers travelers' data from foreign governments, from numerous Customs and Border Protection sources, and from the Passenger Name Record, a controversial system used by the United States and Europe to gather travelers' information from airlines and travel agencies.
ATS has long been used to track imported and exported cargo. But recent revelations by the Department show ATS is also being used to scrutinize airline passengers and cars entering or leaving the United States. The system draws on the collected data to assign a risk factor to each person or vehicle in order to help border patrol agents decide whether travelers "should receive additional screening because the traveler may pose a greater risk for violation of US law."
It is unclear how long ATS has been used to screen humans. The DHS announced it had expanded ATS to include monitoring people in a November 2 notice in the Federal Register. However, the Department did not say when the expansion took place and some DHS officials have said the program has been in place for years.
Calling the program "equitable," the agency said it "uses the same risk assessment process" for all individuals.
The DHS has announced it will keep the personal data gathered by ATS for up to 40 years to "cover the potentially active lifespan of individuals associated with terrorism or other criminal activities.…Continue reading

Believe 9-11 is causing cancer?
An open thread in Power Plays
It was October 6, 2004, three years after Ernie Vallebuona's three-month stint as a rescue and recovery worker at ground zero in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and he was hunched over and trembling, racked by a pain like nothing he had experienced in his 40 years of sound health. He had just returned to his Rockland County home after finishing the midnight-to-8 a.m. shift in the NYPD vice unit, where he'd reported to work for the last six years. Vallebuona had bought some fish from a street vendor near his office, on the Lower East Side. And as he drove the 35 miles from Manhattan to New City, he chalked up a searing stomachache to food poisoning. Maybe the vendor had filleted that fish with a dirty machete?
Photo: To date, 75 recovery workers at ground zero have been diagnosed with blood cell cancers that a half-dozen top doctors and epidemiologists have confirmed as having been likely caused by that exposure. Ernie Vallabuona (left) is one of them. photo: Scott McDermott
By the time he pulled into his driveway, the pain had grown excruciating, too horrible for him to even lie in bed that day. The chills swept over his body; so did the shakes. He called his doctor, who suggested ulcer medication. His mother advised him to forget that diagnosis and consult a… Continue reading

Defeating the Bill of Rights
Bush's Lone Victory
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
George Orwell warned us, but what American would have expected that in the
opening years of the 21st century the United States would become a country in
which lies and deception by the President and Vice President were the basis
for a foreign policy of war and aggression, and in which indefinite detention
without charges, torture, and spying on citizens without warrants have displaced
the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution?
If anyone had predicted that the election of George W. Bush to the presidency
would result in an American police state and illegal wars of aggression, he
would have been dismissed as a lunatic.
What American ever would have thought that any US president and attorney general
would defend torture or that a Republican Congress would pass a bill legalizing
torture by the executive branch and exempting the executive branch from the
Geneva Conventions?
What American ever would have expected the US Congress to accept the president's
claim that he is above the law?
What American could have imagined that if such crimes and travesties occurred,
nothing would be done about them and that the media and opposition party would
be largely silent?
Except for a few columnists, who are denounced by "conservatives"
as traitors for defending the Bill of Rights, the defense of US civil liberty
has been limited to the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International,
and Human Rights Watch. The few federal judges who have refused to genuflect
before the Bush police state are denounced by attorney general Alberto Gonzales
as a "grave threat" to US security.…
Jenna Orkin, of WTC Environmental Organization www.wtceo.org, describes the envirotoxic disaster of 9/11, horrendous health effects on residents and rescuers, and lies of the administration that led to the situation.
"Jenna…details how the Bush administration Environmental Protection Agency told the public that the air in Lower Manhattan after the attacks of 9/11 was safe to breathe even while knowing is was not. This raises the question: if the Bush administration was willing to sacrifice the health and the lives of United States citizens, what else would they be willing to do?"
There has been a great deal of discussion about the Military Commissions Act
of 2006 [.pdf], recently passed by both houses of Congress, and most of it has
to do with the provisions allowing torture of alien detainees, that is, of non-citizens
apprehended in, say, Afghanistan or Iraq, and their treatment at the hands of their American captors. Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and John Warner,
all Republicans, grandstanded for weeks over the torture provisions, then capitulated.
Another "Republican maverick," Arlen Specter, zeroed in on the real
issue, however, when he said the bill would set us back 800 years by repealing
the habeas corpus protections against arbitrary arrest and jailings — and then went ahead and voted for it, anyway.
Liberal opposition mainly centered around the morality
— or, rather, immorality — of torture, but the debate largely ignored the ticking time-bomb at the heart of this legislation, scheduled to go off, perhaps, in tandem with some future crisis, e.g., another terrorist attack on American soil: the redefinition of the "unlawful combatant" concept that lays the foundations for this administration's reconstruction of the gulag. Here is the new, broadened definition, as enunciated in the legislation recently passed by the House:
"The term 'unlawful enemy combatant' means ñ (i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, or associated forces); or (ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the president or the secretary of defense."
It doesn't say "alien" or "terrorist," although it specifically includes members of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.…Continue reading

Five varieties of vegetables will be cultivated on 100 acres
ALAPPUZHA: The Mararikulam north grama panchayat is back in news. This time by initiating a Seashore Vegetable Cultivation Project. The panchayat along with Kanjikuzhy Panchayat was in news in May when the two villages became the first in the country to declare a benchmark price for vegetables.
Under the project, inaugurated by actor Devan at Mararikulam, 1,100 households in three wards will cultivate five varieties of organic vegetables in 100 acres of land. These households will also be given five sacks each of a mixture of organic manure and sand to encourage cultivation in sacks. The vegetables will include bitter gourd, snake gourd, lady's finger, cowpea and spinach, and will be funded under the People's Plan.
The panchayat has already proved that vegetables could be cultivated on seashore when it successfully implemented an organic elephant yam cultivation project.
The Seashore Cultivation Project will be a source of livelihood for the fishing community, at a time when there is a ban on trawling, said grama panchayat president D. Priyesh Kumar. "When they are not out on fishing or when the seasonal changes do not provide them a regular income from fishing, they can become farmers. This means steady income throughout the year," he said. The project will be implemented under the watchful eyes of Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac.
Actor Devan termed the project another 'green revolution', and said the panchayat was a model for the State.
The panchayat is undertaking another project under the Coconut Board. T.S. Viswan, project director for the Coconut Development Board's Bio-hedging Village Programame said in the six-month-old project, a cluster of farmers have replaced deceased and stunted coconut trees on 25 hectares on the seashore. Four rows of casuarinas were planted to protect the shore from erosion.

The importance of the three L's in a world-class forehand
by Raul Saad, USPTA Master Professional
December 2009 -- The modern forehand has become the weapon of choice for most high-performance players.
The majority of world-class players has shifted the traditional baseline "home base" 3 to 5 feet to the backhand side, strategically imposing the power of the forehand over two-thirds of the court. The biomechanical swing on the forehand side has kinetically evolved from a traditional, mild-elliptical swinging pattern to a more extreme and elongated arching motion. This wider arch enables the velocity of the racquet head to continuously increase throughout the swing and makes the energy transfer to the ball more fluid and powerful. However, the biomechanics of a world-class forehand are complex. In this article we focus specifically on key technical components that are a common denominator among top players: the three "L's."
The first and second "L"
One of the commonalities of the world-class forehand originates as the unit rotation begins. As the shoulders and hips turn, top players **** the wrist up, placing the racquet straight up, perpendicular to the court (aided by the nondominant hand). The forearm of the hitting arm and the racquet shaft resemble an "L," with the tip of the racquet head usually higher than the player's own head. The elbow of the hitting arm is typically bent nearly 90 degrees, thus forming the second "L."
The "L" positioning of the elbow and wrist is critical to the ability to generate speed and explosiveness in the forehand. It places the racquet head high above and allows it to begin dropping from this high location in a circular pattern, accumulating velocity at a continually increasing rate throughout the motion. At the bottom of the circular pattern, the racquet will be below the level of the ball and will immediately move forcefully but fluidly forward and up, continuing to accelerate through the point of contact. The player's dominant arm is naturally relaxed throughout the entire elongated motion. In the following photos, the "L" formed by the elbow bending at 90 degrees and the "L" formed by the racquet shaft and the forearm are clearly seen:
The first and second "L" positionings create a longer swing pattern that facilitates not only the continuous acceleration of the racquet head throughout the entire motion, but also the fluid transfer of energy through the kinetic chain.
The third "L"
The third "L" found in world-class forehands refers to the elbow positioning on the forward swing, which is bent typically at around 90 degrees. The exact amount of bending varies from stroke to stroke depending on height of the ball, tactical situation or balance, but the third "L" is consistently present in the majority of world-class strokes. This positioning of the elbow, which acts as a pivoting point, allows the stroke to be "driven" forward through the shoulder, elbow and palm of the hand solidly and with accuracy.
Note that the wrist is also bent, oftentimes at a 90-degree angle in what's commonly known as the "double bend." As discussed earlier, the first and second "L's" elongate the backswing, creating a tremendous amount of racquet speed at the point of contact. The "L"-shaped elbow, coupled with the bent wrist, provides a consistent angle on the racquet face, allowing the player to exert critical control over the high velocity of the racquet head and ball at the point of contact. Furthermore, having the ability to pivot on the bent elbow allows the natural rotation of the forearm, wrist and hand as the ball is struck (commonly known as the "windshield wiper"), imparting a tremendous amount of topspin to the ball. Virtually all world-class forehands use the windshield-wiper arm rotation action and the third "L" facilitates this biomechanical process.
In the following examples, please note that the elbow in the hitting arm is consistently pointing at the rib cage of the player. A common error that lesser players commit is to flare the elbow out (pointing it at the back fence) at the point of contact. That elbow positioning will result in significant loss of velocity and power on the stroke. Furthermore, the "elbow-out" position will impede the smooth rotation of the arm in the subsequent windshield-wiper follow-through. Many world-class players will have the elbow pointing at the back fence in the second "L" phase of the stroke as they take the racquet back (demonstrated in the earlier photos), but the majority of them tuck in the elbow and point it to the ribs immediately prior to the point of contact.
However, not all world-class players use the third "L" in their forehand. The two top players in the world, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, bend back their wrists 90 degrees, but straighten their elbow out as the racquet moves forward toward the contact point with the ball. Federer tends to adjust and bend the elbow slightly depending on the situation, whereas Nadal fully straightens the elbow, almost locking it. The athleticism and eye-hand coordination needed to strike the ball successfully with the arm straight is exceptional, but the fact that the two best current players in the world employ this technique perhaps reveals glimpses of the forehand of the future.
It is clear that in order to become a top performance player, developing the forehand as a weapon is a must. Top players have a variety of styles and techniques, but this article focused specifically on the biomechanical common denominators of a world-class modern forehand - the three "L's." Players wanting to improve their forehand should experiment with the concepts presented here, including the "straight arm" forehand, and incorporate what works and feels natural into their game.

US consulate attack in Libya said twin operation
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Some Libyan officials have pointed the finger at a hardline Islamist militia, the Ansar al-Shariah Brigades, one of multiple Libyan militias operating in the city. A spokesman for the group lavishly praised the assault for "protecting the faith and fighting for the victory of God Almighty." But he said the Brigades "did not participate as an organization. This was a popular uprising."
Adding to the confusion surrounding the attack is that it targeted the United States, a nation that played a key role in ridding the oil-rich, mostly desert nation of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Washington also took the lead in launching the months-long NATO air campaign that crippled the late leader's forces.
Stevens was credited by most Libyans with organizing a political front made up of opposition groups to unite the uprising against Gadhafi's 41-year rule, mediating tribal and regional disputes.
The Benghazi attack also underlined the precarious conditions in Libya nearly a year after Gadhafi's fall, with a weak central government, militias operating as local governments, a destabilizing proliferation of weapons, and militant groups - some inspired by al-Qaida - that are active under the government's radar.
Stevens and another American were killed in the consulate during the initial violence, as plainclothes Libyan security were evacuating the consulate's staff to the safe house about a mile away, el-Sharef said. The second assault took place several hours later and targeted the safe house - a villa inside the grounds of the city's equestrian club - killing two Americans and wounding a number of Libyans and Americans.
The crowd built at the consulate - a one-story villa surrounded by a large garden in an upscale Benghazi neighborhood - in several stages, El-Sharef said. First, a small group of gunmen arrived, then civilians angry over the film. Later, heavily armed men with armored vehicles, some with rocket-propelled grenades, joined and the numbers swelled to more than 200.
The gunmen fired into the air outside the consulate. Libyan security guarding the site pulled out because they were so outmanned. "We thought there was no way for the protesters to storm the compound, which had fortified walls," he said.
Libyan security advised the Americans to evacuate at that point, but the advice was ignored, he said. There was shooting in the air from inside the consulate compound, he said.
At this point, el-Sharef continued, the crowd stormed the compound. The consulate was looted and burned, while plainclothes security men were sent to evacuate the personnel.
Stevens probably died of asphyxiation following a grenade explosion that started a fire, el-Sharef said, echoing what the Libyan doctor to whom Stevens' body was taken told the AP on Wednesday.
His account was corroborated by local journalist Ibrahim Hadya, who was at the scene. He told the AP that the consulate was stormed just as the evacuation was under way, with staff members smuggled out a side door that opens to a street other than the one where the militants and protesters gathered.

"It was wonderfully easy to create this beautiful memorial card for my mother's funeral. I was very pleased by everything but the delivery time. I paid extra to have the cards delivered by Monday and they did not arrived until Tuesday."
"We had so many compliments on our program card.The card weight is great, feels sturdy and rich in your hands, and retains the color from the photographs well.Good amount of space to write the church program on the card. The reviewers even helped us adjust the last page to our liking. So wonderful. Couldn't have a better send off design."
"This card was used at a Celebration of Life service and was beautiful. I added the shimmer in the printing. The quality of the paper and printing was superb. We received endless compliments."
"My order came out beautiful! I couldn't be more pleased with the semi-gloss photo of my dad on this card. The quality of the paper is outstanding. This is the 3rd time I have ordered from Tiny Prints and every time their customer service staff helped me with selections and gave me great advise. Tiny Prints is my "go to" place for personal stationery!"

Police look at Colo. teen in 2 other child cases
Friday - 10/26/2012, 6:55pm EDT
By P. SOLOMON BANDA
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) - Police in a Colorado town where the body of a missing 10-year-old girl was found said Friday that they want to question a teenage suspect in two unsolved child enticement cases.
A sketch developed in the September incidents bears some resemblance to 17-year-old Austin Sigg, who's being held on suspicion of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of Jessica Ridgeway, Arvada police spokesman Sgt. Mark Nazaryk said.
The sketch and Sigg's mug shot wasn't an exact match, Nazaryk noted.
He also said investigators were trying to determine if Sigg had access to a royal blue, four-door sedan described by witnesses in both cases.
The September child enticement cases involved a man who tried to lure two boys about the same age as Jessica into a car.
No suspects were identified in those incidents.
Sigg is being held without bail on suspicion of murder and kidnapping in the death of Jessica, and attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in the case of runner at a neighborhood lake in May. Prosecutors were expected to formally charge him next week.
In arguing that Sigg be held without bail, prosecutors disclosed that Sigg confessed and that DNA evidence in the case was overwhelming.
Jessica disappeared three weeks ago after leaving her home in the Denver suburb to walk to school. She never arrived. Her remains were found on Oct. 10.
In the May attack, a 22-year-old woman told police a stranger grabbed her from behind and put a rag that smelled of chemicals over her mouth. Police haven't disclosed if the rag had a chemical on it meant to subdue the woman.
Sigg turns 18 in January. He remains in a juvenile detention facility and cannot face the death penalty because of his age when he allegedly committed the crime. Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey said Sigg will likely be charged and tried as adult by his office.
But that decision can be challenged by Sigg's public defenders who can ask a judge for what's called a reverse transfer to keep the case in juvenile court under a state law passed this year. Among the factors to be considered by a judge to keep the case in an adult court are the seriousness of the crime, impact on the victims, and the maturity and intelligence level of the defendant.
The difference between adult court and juvenile court is that the maximum sentence for serious crimes, such as murder, which in juvenile court is seven years, said Kim Dvorchak, founder of a the advocacy group, Colorado Juvenile Defender Coalition.
While adults face a mandatory life without parole for a murder conviction, juveniles tried as adults face life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years, Dvorchak said.
Even if Sigg's case remains in juvenile court and he's convicted, the changes to the law enacted this year allow juveniles to serve back-to-back sentences for multiple convictions for crimes of violence, which could mean a decades-long prison term for Sigg. That sentence would first be served in a youth corrections facility followed by a transfer to an adult prison at age 21, Dvorchak said.
That change was prompted by family outrage and prosecutor's frustration at a seven year sentence handed down in September 2011 to a Burlington, Colo., boy who pleaded guilty to killing his parents and severely injuring his siblings when he was 12. That boy will be on parole for two years after he's released from youth corrections when he's 20.
Whether a judge will approve Sigg being tried as an adult or send his case to juvenile court is yet to be seen as it is the first high-profile case under the changes meant to prevent a cookie-cutter approach for juveniles, Dvorchak said.
"This is a very unusual case," Dvorchak said.

Several months back I hooked up with Jess and ordered a Gretsch snare in tribute to my daughter. She loves purple and I got one for her to have when I keel over. I had this color on a set of Broadkasters back in the 1980s and just loved it. Pimped it out with the Microsensitive and snap in key holder. My Avatar shows a picture of it.
beautiful snare indeed
glad you went to Jess to get it done.... love those guys
I love that you did that for your daughter
all my kits have written inside the bass drum that these kits belong to my daughter .... I'll do the same with the USA Custom when it arrives.... which will be Gretsch kit #5 to the dismay of my wife :)

How bad are your past sins really?
Let's be honest: Many of us -- OK, most of us -- weren't exactly paragons of health in our youth. And we can't help wondering: Will those margaritas, junk-food binges, forgotten condoms, or even that one bong hit eventually come back to haunt us? ...The more you do it, the greater the risk," says Dr. Fulton Crews, Ph.D., director of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Plus, because the liver is responsible for breaking down alcohol and clearing it from the body, heavy drinking -- more than a few drinks a day for over 10 years -- can cause hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
Whooping cough becoming a bigger health concern
WRAL-TV (CBS/Raleigh)
Whooping cough is becoming a big health concern, particularly in California where they've seen more than 900 cases this year, up from 200 last year. Now, other states concerned about the spread. ..."And what they do is they cough, cough, cough, cough and then they 'whoooooop,'" said UNC Epidemiologist Dr. David Weber. "It's when they've been aspiring, after they've been coughing so much, they get that like 'whooping' sound." Weber, an infectious disease expert, says the cough becomes suspicious after it lasts more than three weeks.

One of her first objectives at UNC is to create a "Pelvic Floor Center of Excellence."

Phils One Away from World Title
By Chris Brooks ,
Joe Blanton went six innings, allowing two earned runs, four hits, and struck out seven. Blanton also hit a solo shot to left field in the fifth inning, which happened to be his first career home run. It was the first home run by a pitcher in the World Series since 1974, and only the 15th WS homerun ever by a pitcher.
Ryan Howard, who had only one home run in a month, went yard twice in the game to pace Philly's offense. Philadelphia had a total of 12 hits as opposed to Tampa's four. The Phils improved to 6-0 at home this post-season.
Game five will be in Philadelphia tonight at 8 p.m. Scott Kazmir will face Cole Hamels in what could be the last game of the 2008 MLB season and the first world championship for the Phils in in 28 years.
If Tampa wins game five, the series will move back to the Trop in St. Petersburg, Fla. where the Rays must win out to take the series.

/dev/nvidia{0,ctl} should be unregistered when the nvidia module is unloaded
may I refer you to this thread in the bug tracker of the bumblebee project for background: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project...bee/issues/144
In short, powersaving on Linux using bumblebee does not seem to work because /dev/nvidia{0,ctl} exist even when the nvidia driver is unloaded. This results in vdpau sometimes activating the nvidia driver -- resulting in higher power consumption -- even though the driver was unloaded by bumblebee. A patch to bumblebee removing the control files whenever the driver is unloaded seems to fix this issue. But the maintainer of the bumblebee project is of the opinion that this functionality should be part of the nvidia driver, not bumblebee.
Re: /dev/nvidia{0,ctl} should be unregistered when the nvidia module is unloaded
Is this the right place to post bugs regarding NVIDIA linux drivers or is there a better way? Not wanting to appear impatient, just to make sure this post will be read by the right people at some point.
