16.02.06 - By Paul Ruby - firstname.lastname@example.com - In a song called Simple Man, Charlie Daniels sang Im madder than hell, and I aint gonna take it no more. That line epitomizes the way I feel about the April 8th bout between Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather. Im disgusted that Judah could let himself get beaten by Carlos Baldomir in his own hometown. Im disgusted that Mayweather defended the bout by contending that Judah is entitled to fight him because Judah/Baldomir was a split decision.
Im disgusted that the fight is for a tainted IBF belt for which Carlos Baldomir could not afford to pay the sanctioning fee. Im disgusted that HBO is selling this as a pay-per-view event and as a title fight. Im disgusted by the arguments of promoters and pundits that Judah was not focused against Baldomir, but guarantee that he will be on April 8th. Im disgusted by what sham title fights like these do for the public image of boxing (and how they underscore the need for a national commission, but thats for another day altogether).
But, mostly, Im disgusted with Zab Judah for losing to Carlos Baldomir, and I have two conclusions. First, that Zab Judah is not physically talented enough to become a great champion. Second, that Zab Judah lacks the emotional maturity to become a great champion.
I believe that both fans and experts have drastically over-rated Judahs skills in the ring. Zab Judah has fast hands and he is an exceptional athlete, but there is much more to boxing than that. Judah lacks the fundamental skills and techniques necessary to become an elite boxer. First, I question Judahs conditioning. Admittedly, he looks to be in perfect shape when he enters the ring and he never has problems with weight. The problem is he too often fights only in spurts. This was painfully obvious against Baldomir. The tough, but limited Argentine kept coming forward and throwing punches, while Judah was content to let himself be bullied around by an older, slower foe. Additionally, Judah gives up his hand-speed by holding his opponents far too often, rather than working in close quarters or seeking separation.
I also question Judahs instincts in the ring. Too often fans see his sensational speed which is among the best in the business and forget that rounds are not judged on speed, but rather on clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense. Judahs game is predicated on looking flashy not on winning rounds that have been scored properly. Against Baldomir, Judah showed that he could not figure out when rounds were close and try to do something to pull them out in the last 30 seconds. For that reason, I think that Judah is too often looking for a knockout and refuses to acknowledge that even the greatest fighters cannot knock out every foe they seek to conquer. Essentially, I strongly believe Judah is a better athlete than he is a boxer. Even without his mental frailties, I tend to doubt that he could be a truly elite fighter because he lacks the technique and instincts needed to reach that level.
More importantly, I believe Zab Judah will never have the mental toughness necessary to become a great fighter. Before we speak about Judah specifically, it may be appropriate to comment on his surroundings. I believe that Judah has hurt his career by letting his father train him. Yoel Judah instilled his own values in his son and, in my humble opinion, they are not the values of a champion. The most telling sign of Yoel Judahs shortcomings is his quote to the Showtime crew prior to the Baldomir fight. The older Judah stated that they did not plan on the fight exceeding three rounds. That one quote summarizes all of my opinion of both Judahs. Any trainer that trains champions Freddie Roach, Dan Birmingham, Buddy McGirt take your pick teaches his fighters not to look for a knockout, but be content to take a decision. Knockout predictions should be left to guys like you and me on our couches and to people like Al Berstein, Larry Merchant, and other journalists; they should not be made by trainers. Yoel Judahs quote shows the hubris that was his sons downfall. Yoel Judah seems not to adhere to the philosophy among boxers and trainers that a champion should prepare to go 12 rounds in every fight. Judging by Yoel Judahs attitude, it cannot be considered a surprise that pride and a bloated self-concept would be traits he passed on to his son and, for that reason, part of me pities Zab Judah.
The larger part of me, however, does not feel nearly as compassionate. Judahs three most important fights have all been unequivocal failures. When he fought Kostya Tszyu, he said it was a winner take all fight. In that fight, he showed the immaturity and arrogance in the ring that are arguably his trademark. In that fight, Judah was knocked down and, rather than taking an 8 count to collect himself, he tried to get up at 3, stumbled, toppled over again, and forced referee Jay Nady to correctly stop the fight in the 2nd round. In his first fight with Cory Spinks, Judah essentially gave away the first five rounds of the fight and dug a hole out of which he could not pull himself.
Against Carlos Baldomir, Zab Judah embarrassed himself before, during, and after the fight with mental errors. During referee Arthur Mercante, Jr.s instructions, Judah punched Baldomir on the thigh instead of touching gloves with him. That was a move that even a 4-year-old should be ashamed of. It was literally despicable and Judah and everyone associated with him should feel beyond humiliated for such immature and irresponsible actions. During the fight, Judah fought only in spurts and seemed content to let Baldomir punch him in the face en route to a well-deserved decision. After the fight, Judah embarrassed himself by failing to take ownership of his actions in the ring. He was quick to blame others like his promoter, quick to look everywhere but directly in the mirror.
For those reasons, I believe too many have overestimated Judah. A champion not only reacts to adversity, he thrives on it. Zab Judah has crumbled in the face of adversity time and again, and now he is being handed a money-making fight against Floyd Mayweather. Like a champion, Mayweather will prepare properly. He will get in the ring, do his job, and win with a TKO 5 victory.
Thats the difference between Mayweather and Judah. I dont agree with Mayweathers views, but he gets in the ring and does his job every single time. He trains hard. He doesnt look past opponents, doesnt expected to be handed things. He has physical and mental toughness that nearly all others lack. He has the physical and mental toughness that Zab Judah lacks.
Floyd Mayweather will beat Zab Judah for the IBF Welterweight Championship on April 8th on HBO pay-per-view, but it will be a tainted fight that should not cost $50 and it will be for a tainted belt that should sit around Carlos Baldomirs waist. And thats why Im madder than hell.

Great place, as shown in the pictures. Just stayed with 12 people, including 4 kids. Very close and easy to the parks, with shopping center w/grocery and restaurants right around the corner. The pool fence is great as the little ones could not open it by themselves(exactly as desired), but easy for adults. We went in Jan - the heated pool was Very nice. The house is large with plenty of room, the game room/movie theater was a great place to relax after a long day. I really liked the patio/pool/grill and large eat in kitchen. Was very nice and relaxing to sit on the patio in the early morning and read. The house was clean and as advertised. James and Eileen were very responsive to questions. The kids really loved the themed rooms. Overall no issues, would (and have) recommended to friends and family - hope to come back soon!
We rented this home in Emerald island for a week and we all enjoyed it a lot. The house was clean and we like how the rooms were spacious. Kids love the pool and home theater is fantastic. The best part Internet speed is fast. we had a wonderful stay! Will stay again!!

This home was good for our group of 15, plenty of rooms/bathrooms. Parking for 3 cars in the driveway, which for us, was fine. This home was not as close to the Disney parks as we originally thought, with Magic Kingdom being the farthest away (probably a 20-30 min drive with traffic). The kids play area downstairs was extremely warm, much too hot for the kids to stay in there for activities. The AC did not seem to work in this room. And, the only toy in this room that worked was the TV/DVD player. None of the games were in operation, which was disappointing. Overall, this home was fine. It just needs some updating, as 2 upstairs bathrooms the shower door was difficult to pull closed and needs to be replaced. The carpet overall in the home needs to be replaced. The kids enjoyed having a pool that was easily accessed, and the subdivision was nice. It just needs to updated, and the home was a bit too far away from the parks in our opinion, to make for a simple go/come on Disney park days. Also, the home was not ready for us to occupy at the 4pm check-in time (it was around 5:30 when we checked in). This was fine, but mildly frustrating when we had 15 people that had been travelling for 10+ hours, and were just ready to relax. The property managers were nice to fix any issues that we noticed during our visit (such as the door lock not working).
This was a beautiful home with all kinds of space and very clean. We enjoyed our stay here for our 10 days and would definitely come back here when we go on vacation to Florida the house was very close to all parks. The gated community gives you a safe feeling. Will recommend to anyone that's needs a home that's reasonably priced. Owners were very easy to deal with.
My family (a group of 13 people) stayed at this house for 2 weeks. It was an amazing time and we were very happy.
The house is huge and very comfortable, perfect for large groups with kids. The children actually asked to go home from the parks to play in the pool!! Kitchen is well equipped and bathrooms are quite comfortable. The previous group left some of the kitchen utensils not as clean as we'd like, but no biggie.
Speaking of the parks, the location is fantastic. The gated community is beautiful, and less than 10 minutes from the Disney Parks. Universal is a little further away, between 25 and 30 minutes, but still really close. We ended up not even using the common facilities, but there is a pool, sports courts, etc. It's also a great place to go for a run or biking, very calm and quiet.
We were slighlty surprised when one day at breakfast the pool caretakers came into the pool area unannounced. We're not used to it, but they weren't there for more than 10 minutes and didn't bother us at all. You'll actually notice several different service providers around the house checking on equipment at times, it just comes with the package of such a big and comfortable place.
When we first arrived we had a little trouble with the lock, but the owner was readily available and helped us get in after a few calls to figure out what was going on. He even sent us the administrator, who was at the house within a few minutes, very sharp. We noticed 2 broken chairs, and let the owner know right away, so there was no problem. Also, the gas on the grill was empty, so we got a new one and the administrator reimbursed us right away. They were very friendly and understanding. Also, during the stay we found another chair (this one by the pool) which was broken but forgot to tell them about it. Still, when I explained it, the owner was very understanding and refunded the deposit fully.
All in all, this was a fantastic stay and I'd definitely recommend this house and the owner to anyone looking for a great place to stay with a large group in Orlando!!

Cromwell: Arjun Atwal slipped to tied 55th spot after returning a topsy-turvy card of four-over 74 in the penultimate round of the Travelers Championship on US Tour.
Atwal stumbled to five bogeys, a double bogey against three birdies to total three-over 213 after three rounds.
Atwal, who made his first cut in last six starts on US Tour, opened with a birdie but a double bogey on the fourth followed by a bogey on fifth left him struggling.
Two more bogeys on the 10th and 11th saw him balloon to four over. He had two more each of birdies and bogeys to end at 74 on a rain-delayed day. Asian tour player Kevin Na of Korea continued his rise after a 69 in tied 12th place. His 206 was seven strokes behind leader Jay Williamson.
David Toms, who has five top-10 finishes this year, shares the lead at eight-under with Williamson (66). Williamson shot a second straight 66 while playing only his second PGA Tour event of the year.
Playing on a sponsor's exemption Williamson had missed the cut in his only other Tour appearance this year at the Honda Classic in March
Good day for Jeev
At Munich, Jeev Milkha Singh set himself for a top-10 finish after climbing to the tied 16th spot with a card of two-under 70 in the penultimate round of the BMW International Open here.
Jeev needed a mere 25 putts in the round, which was one of only 12 sub-par efforts in the day. He took his three-round total to five-under 211, to be six shots off the lead.
Compatriots Jyoti Randhawa (73) and Shiv Kapur (73) also moved up. Randhawa climbed to tied 21st, up two places from his overnight position, and Kapur was tied 39th, an improvement from 52nd spot.
The lead was shared by Niclas Fasth and Jose-Filipe Lima at 11-under 205, followed by Frenchman Thomas Levet (72), Nick Dougherty (71) and David Frost (70) at nine-under 207. — PTI

Watched the on-line video. It was so easy, I ordered the part which arrived in about four days. Easily removed the glassware rack, took out the arm, installed the replacement and reinstalled in less than ten minutes. This was better than anything I could have hoped for with my limited mechanical apptitude. Thanks!

Humans made it all the way to Galactica returning before losing.
Crew (and turn order):
and I was a human-siding Cavil (needed one resource at 2 or lower)
*Dee was a first timer, Ros and I had the most games under our belts, everyone else was on their second game.
Gaius had both Cylon cards until passing one on to Boomer. Boomer kept sinking crises, but enough that it looked like Destiny was doing the work. Once we got to NC, Tyrol XO'd Boomer hoping she would use the Shipyard three times (she was on his left). Boomer moved to Breeder's, used Breeder's to bring Galactica back, dumped all her piloting cards into the next skill check, and then revealed on her turn.
Boomer kept the Raiders parked right in front of the launch tubes, effectively blowing up each civie as they arrived and we lost. Command was damaged sometime before getting to NC, so we couldn't activate any Vipers.
Upon reflection:
- Maybe Cavil wasn't the best choice. It took WAY TOO LONG for the group to believe I was on their side. They were so wrapped up in the fact that I could summon Basestars that they were double thinking my every move. Even after I wished one away, they were still arguing that I was just biding my time.
- I was trying to focus on Food or Morale to hit 2, but Pop got there first. Really didn't want that knowing that we had so many civies to take care of, but nothing I could do about that. I'll remind people next time how important that is for end game. Protect pop over fuel even.
- Not enough XO's and IC's being thrown around. Over half of the XO's happened after NC and only TWO IC's were played the entire game, one of them by ME. I even thought Ros was the other Cylon after Gaius because of the lack of IC's. I stressed and stressed how important it was, but it never sunk in.
- I actually think two pilots might not be a bad idea. End game is an endurance match, so they'll actually have work to do.

Dorsal metatarsal ligament
The dorsal metatarsal ligament is a foot ligament, located within the soles of the feet. In Latin, the ligament is referred to by the name of "Ligamenta metatarsalia dorsalia." The transverse ligaments travel from the dorsal coverings of metatarsal bones to the dorsal coverings of other metatarsal bones that are located across from them. The ligaments are located close to the bones' proximal edges. The primary function of the metatarsal ligaments is to provide some stability to the metatarsal joints. The metatarsal joints are condyloid joints that have round or elliptical surfaces that travel near the shallowest cavities of the limbs' proximal phalanges. The proximal phalanges refer to the bones at the toes' base. The dorsal metatarsal ligament is situated in close proximity to muscles and ligaments such as the tendon tibialis anticus muscle, the plantar intermetatar ligament, the long plantar ligament, the tendon peroneus longus muscle, the plantar cuboideonavic ligament, the plantar cuneonavic ligament, the plantar tarsometatar ligament and the tendon tibialis posticus muscle.

Immigrant detention overhaul planned
Reform to centralize network of facilities
Background: The federal immigrant detention system has been criticized as lacking oversight, with lawsuits alleging problems such as overcrowding and inadequate medical care.
What's changing: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it wants to create a more humane system, recognizing that immigrants in custody are civil detainees not accused of a crime.
The future: ICE intends to overhaul the system in a three-to five-year period, focusing on supervision and making the process more orderly.
Federal officials have announced an ambitious plan to revamp the nation's immigrant detention system, a patchwork of public and private facilities that has been widely criticized in recent years, including in two lawsuits that alleged poor conditions in a San Diego detention center.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton said yesterday the goal is to create a more humane detention system reflecting the fact the people held by ICE are civil detainees who are not being jailed for a crime.
"We are going to continue to detain people on a large scale," he said. "This is about how we detain people."
Expected to take from three to five years, the overhaul is intended to bring more order to what Morton called a "disjointed" detention network of roughly 350 facilities that is heavily dependent on contractors. The effort will be overseen by a new Office of Detention Policy and Planning, headed by former Arizona corrections official Dora Schriro.
The office's responsibilities will include managing the detainee population, health care, alternatives to detention, and accountability. Federal officials will conduct inspections and follow up on detainee grievances. Two advisory groups will be formed to provide feedback and advice, one on policies and practices, Morton said, another on detainee health care.
More immediate changes will include assigning federal detention managers to work in 23 facilities that Morton called the agency's most significant, which house more than 40 percent of the detainee population. ICE officials would not say if the agency's detention center in Otay Mesa, one of its larger contract facilities and the subject of two 2007 lawsuits over detention conditions, would be among them.
The agency will also immediately begin transferring families out of the privately owned T. Don Hutto Family Residential Facility in Taylor, Texas. The former prison was the subject of a lawsuit two years ago over the incarceration of children.
Tougher immigration policies in recent years have led to the detention of more than 32,000 people by ICE on a daily basis while they await or appeal deportation. Many are detained for months or years as they wait for resolution.
This exploding population has led to the widespread use of contractors. The federal government still maintains a handful of ICE-run facilities, including one in El Centro, but the rest of the detainee population is held in a combination of private contract facilities, privately owned jails contracted from local jurisdictions that act as a middleman, or county jails from which ICE rents beds space.
As a result, civil detainees are routinely held in a prison environment, often by contracted jailers accustomed to dealing with criminals. Although ICE routinely detains and deports people with criminal records, among them legal residents, these also are civil detainees, having already completed their sentences.

Milwaukee Brewers' Traveling History
The Milwaukee Brewers took their name from the region's association with the brewing industry, but the franchise was not always located in Wisconsin. Originally known as the Seattle Pilots, the Brewers Franchise played in the Pacific Northwest for just one season before relocating to Milwaukee. The Brew Crew built a passionate fan base in Milwaukee and it didn't take long for Brewers Tickets to be the perfect pairing for a nice, cold beer.
American League Success
While currently playing in NL Central, the Brewers first entered the MLB as an American League club. During a five year stretch from 1978-1982, the Brewers were among the league's elite as they racked up four straight winning seasons. This stretch culminated with a World Series appearance against the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982, where they eventually lost in seven games. It marked the only World Series appearance for the Brewers, who narrowly lost the NLCS in 2011 against the same Cardinals.
Save on Milwaukee Brewers Tickets
Former MVP Ryan Braun looks to get back to elite status and has help in the form of Jean Segura. On the pitching side of things, the Brewers pack a one-two combination of powerhouse Yovani Gallardo and Kyle Lohse.

A federal judge on Monday preliminarily approved a class action lawsuit settlement between U.S. Bank and checking account customers who were charged improper overdraft fees.
The July 29 decision by U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King comes nearly a year after U.S. Bank agreed to pay $55 million to settle three class action lawsuits pending in the massive multidistrict litigation (MDL), known as In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, involving more than 30 different banks nationwide.
The class action settlement resolves allegations that U.S. Bank posted debit card transactions to consumer deposit accounts from highest to lowest dollar amount instead of the order in which they were made. Plaintiffs claim that, instead of declining transactions when an account had insufficient funds to cover a purchase, U.S. Bank authorized the transactions and reordered their posting to increase the number of overdraft fees charged to customers.
Class Members of the U.S. Bank overdraft settlement include anyone who had a U.S. Bank consumer deposit account that could be accessed with a U.S. Bank debit card during the applicable Class Period and who were charged one or more overdraft fees as a result of the bank's improper debit posting policy.
The applicable Class Period depends on the state where your U.S. Bank deposit account was opened:
The amount of money you can receive from the U.S. Bank overdraft settlement will depend on the number of overdraft fees you incurred. Only a small percentage of all overdraft fees that were charged by U.S. Bank were affected by high to low posting. So, not every overdraft fee that was charged is eligible for payment under this class action settlement.
Payments will be automatically credited to your U.S. Bank account or (if you no longer have that account) by check mailed to the address U.S. Bank has on file. There is no claim filing process.
More information on your rights in the U.S. Bank Overdraft Class Action Lawsuit Settlement can be found at www.USBankOverdraftSettlement.com. [Editor's Note: this website was not yet active at time of publication.]
A Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2013.
UPDATE 1/2/14: The Settlement Administrator has posted the following update:
The Final Approval Hearing was held on December 18, 2013. Following the presentations of counsel, the Court announced its intention to grant Final Approval to the Settlement, to award Service Awards to the twelve (12) named Plaintiffs, and to award Class Counsel attorneys' fees equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Settlement Fund plus reimbursement of certain expenses. The Court has not yet entered a Final Approval Order and Final Judgment. This website will be updated again as soon as the Final Approval Order and Final Judgment are entered by the Court.
The case is In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, Case No. 1:09-md-02036, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
UPDATE: 2/20/14: The Settlement Administrator has posted the following update:
On January 6, 2014, the Court granted Final Approval to the Settlement, and on January 15, 2014, the Court entered Final Judgment. In the event there are no timely appeals, the Effective Date will be February 24, 2014, and distribution of awards to eligible Settlement Class Members by account credit for current customers or by mailed check for former customers will occur no later than June 24, 2014. This site will continue to be updated as specific dates and details regarding distribution become available.

OAKLAND, Calif. In baseball, nothing ever stays the same. It's a game constantly in motion, always changing, always unpredictable. Six weeks ago, on opening night, the Angels' starting outfield was Vernon Wells in left, Peter Bourjos in center and Torii Hunter in right. Monday night, as they began a three-game series against the Oakland A's, their outfield was Mike Trout, Bourjos and Mark Trumbo, presumably their outfield of the future. Their top reserve outfielder on the bench was someone named Kole Calhoun. Kole Calhoun? "It was a surprise to me as it was to everybody else," Calhoun said after joining the Angels at Oakland Coliseum. "I'm just kind of riding the wave right now. It's been an unbelievable turn of events in the last 24 hours." So true. But that's baseball. Injuries happen, players go on the disabled list and players are called up to take their place. There's no slowing down to take a breath. Outfielder Vernon Wells is out from 8 to 10 weeks after tearing a ligam...

Police unearth landmine planted under a track near Roxy station
BERHAMPUR: The two-day bandh call given by Maoists had its impact in naxal-infested districts of Orissa.
Police arrested a Maoist from Topodihi village under K. Balanga police station in Sundargarh district. The arrested naxal, Bimal Munda, was an elected panchayat samiti member, who was also accused in a recent murder in the area. The police personnel also unearthed a landmine planted under the railway track near Roxy station in the Sundergarh district. It was located before it could cause any harm.
In south Orissa the bandh call had its impact in Gajapati, Rayagada, Koraput and Malkangiri districts. The Orissa State Road Transport Corporation (OSRTC) buses remained off road in these districts. Road communication between Jeypore in Koraput district with other parts of the State via Rayagada district was stopped. But OSRTC continued its bus services between Jeypore and Berhampur via Andhra Pradesh. Only some private buses continued their services in these districts. But the bandh call had little impact on the normal life in these areas as most of the shops, banks, offices, educational institutes and business establishments remained open.
But the naxal-infested Narayanpatna block continued to remain cut off from outside world due to road blocks put by Maoists since Sunday. Telecommunication network with this block remained cut off. In Malkangiri district vehicular traffic in remote areas came to a standstill. Naxals cut down trees near MV37 village to block Malkangiri-Balimela road. The cut down trees also snapped power connection to several villages of the area since Sunday night.
Police here on Monday said one Bimal Munda was arrested late last night during combing operation from the village. He was involved in several criminal activities in Sundargarh district, including the murder of one Rabi Oram.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday said the Maoist bandh call was not going to deter the major anti-Maoist joint operation which is launched as per plans in six states including Orissa. It may be noted that the Maoist gave this 48-hour bandh call in six states, including Orissa, against this joint anti-naxal operation. "The Orissa government along with the Centre and other states has been making strategy to launch a joint operation against Maoists," Mr. Patnaik told reporters in Bhubaneswar.

Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
Bravo Mr Mcdonald you have once again put your anarchy stamp on yet another story here at Traveler. This discussion centers on the thoughtful and forward thinking of the Rockefellers who have done some amazing things in this country for national parks including making Acadia National Park even possible, since most of the park is their land--no doubt swindled as you might say from misinformed and bullied landowners who had no idea what their oceanside land was worth and got pillaged in the sale. Perhaps th efamily did nothing more than suggest that they would do nothing to hurt the land and indeed protect it from future generations who might want to profit from it--but I digress. You've mananged to once again spark a political debate within an issue that has nothing to do with poltics but conservation. I'm not sure anarchists and conservation go together....so what is your point???? I agree with the grounded folk here in this thread...praise any conservation effort made by any group, because like it or not it's a step in a positive direction. Even if it's not a popular one, it is a step that encourages many more steps. I think you should try your optimist suit on...it might be a much better fit.
How About Some Economic Stimulus for the National Park System?
road, road, roads, Road, road, roads, roads, roads, road, Road
Wow! Ten uses of the word "road" in one article! Let's just rename the agency the National Parkway Service!
$440,000,000 (almost half a BILLION dollars) in road construction projects! Think of all the CO2 that construction will put into the air! Think of all the CO2 belched by vehicles driving on those roads. In one breath, global warming is a "crisis"; in another breath, let's pave roads!
Or let the roads go back to gravel and allocate that fiat money--hot off the presses--to education and resource protection. The NPS doesn't need more Monopoly money; it needs to reprioritize with an emphasis on the cheaper "preservation" over wasteful "enjoyment".

Sorry, Bemis, but I don't buy your bleak assessment of the world or the US. Nor do I agree with your characterization of the two candidates as a socialist and a fascist. Your unremitting pessimism is hard to read. For you, apparently, the glass is neither half full nor half empty; it's empty. It must be hard to get up every morning.

Jeepers, Beamis, there's not much grey area in your conception of the world, is there? So, our immorality exceeds all other's, and this comic book version of history you would install in place of any kind of real understanding of how things are, and how they work?
Beamis, i do try to give your stuff the benefit of the doubt. Sure, nothing exceeds like excess. It can have great entertainment value. But this rant in response to the preservation of the Grand Tetons? This gives a new meaning to 'over the top.'
It's time, Beamis: Get The Hook.

Updated: Bush Administration: "A Legacy of Failure for Our Public Lands," Claims Congressman Grijalva
How depressing - we can only hope that the next president makes a concerted effort to reverse some of these dastardly assaults on our public lands.
Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
The key quote for me in this entire string is "no matter how the land was acquired, Grand Teton is one of this nations premier national park areas."
That in a nutshell is the world we live in today. The ends justify the means. The last century was almost exclusively centered on this concept, whether it concerned acquiring territory "for the common good" through stealth, deception and brute force or if it meant deporting, concentrating or ethnically cleansing whole populations of people.
This twisted concept of social justice also goes to the very heart of the phony election we're about to have on Tuesday between a socialist and a fascist. Democracy has always been about grabbing as much as you can for as long as you can when power temporarily swings into the hands of YOUR mob. The Founding Fathers greatly feared this type of tyranny where the government and the power elite forge an efficient system of organized plunder.
Today people are simply voting for a proxy that will take from one group to give to another.
I still like H.L. Mencken's take on this the best when he said that "Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods." Almost 100 years later his observation couldn't be more true than it is today.
Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
Well, Jim, it is fine to be a contrarian in the abstract, and it is hard not to be affected by the American romantic anarchistic or libertarian vision, but the bottom line is getting the critical mass of support to make the differences we need NOW.
Pragmatism is also an american virtue.
And, lately, the Rockefellers have made the difference in any number of key environmental disputes. And, lately, they tend to support national parks. They are able to get political officals to answer the phone and talk about new environmental initiatives when no one else seems to bother or be heard. No doubt the concerns many of today's Rockefellers have raised about the Arctic Wildlife Refuge does ameliorate to some extent the passion for drilling found in american oil companies, notwithstanding the fact that a lot of Rockefeller money is still tied up in oil companies.
My guess is the Rockefellers can get a seat at the table when you, Jim, or I cannot. Yes, it rankles my radical roots to think about the affect the Robber Barons and the Priviledged have in the Land Of The Free. But, right now we need all the friends we can get.
When somebody does the right thing, praise them. We are beyond the point where we can support only the completely virtuous, even if you are able to perceive which individual really truly is virtuous, and who is not. Me, anymore, I just pick up the marbles that are on the table.
So, Jim: Time for some smart pragmatism. Next time, thank the Rockefellers for what they do, unless you want to discourage any further good acts from others in their Set.

I agree wholeheartedly with you on Kempthorne's announcement regarding the bison advisory group.
On the plus side for buffalo - a very small plus but one nevertheless - it's looking like cattle in Greater Yellowstone will be managed differently than outside the area. It's something like Gov. Schweitzer's split state idea applied to the entire area. The hope I have is that because brucellosis transmission inside of Greater Yellowstone won't affect entire states (only those few who are near Yellowstone), then that might buy some time for buffalo.
But, now CWD has been found in a moose in NW Wyoming, and I'm afraid that just as things felt like they might be turning slightly in our favor, everything is going to hit the fan now - because this truly is a terrible disease. I was talking with Mike Mease of BFC a couple weekends ago, and I informed him about the bad news. He's very worried about this development, though it adds fuel to the fire - why are the feds and states spending so much time on brucellosis when there's this real disease problem on the horizon?
And, now they want this new advisory board - no thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. And, I agree that there has to be a better way. I admire the work that you are doing on behalf of the buffalo. You and the other activists are making huge sacrifices to support your point of view. I must say that I am not encouraged by yesterday's announcement that Secretary Kempthorne is appointing a new bison advisory group. It smells like last minute politics and will undoubtably take the next president, no matter who he is, some time to un-FUBAR the appointments to the group and its marching orders.

Not to be contrarian (!) - how does one answer such a thing?! LOL - but the truth is that I'm an anarchist. I've said that many times here. So, I do have a worldview, and the intent isn't to be contrarian but because I believe that society is far, far too large, that it's become abstract and that we've lost touch with each other and with the people and beings we love. We care more about abstract ideas like nations, "individuals" like corporations, bureaucracies like the Park Service, than we do about what we live and breathe every single day.
Since my point of view about society at large is in such a small, small minority, I am bound to come across as a contrarian. In truth, I believe in building consensus and agreement. That's how I organize as an activist - that's how I get along with the vast majority of people who are not activists or anarchists - how I keep a job and a family. But, when it comes to things that matter most to me - and Yellowstone frankly matters most to me (and that includes Grand Teton) - then my views are going to come out most strongly, and being from a point of view that only the scantest have, it's going to come off as contrarian. I am suspicious of anything too large - whether that be large corporations or large government. It's not easy being outside the normal political spectrum, agreeing with the right that government has no reason to be so large but disagreeing so strongly that we should simply let the "market" figure things out, agreeing with the left that the smallest in our society should be protected but disagreeing that government is the ultimate answer to that question. Disagreeing with the right (but agreeing with the left) that the individual must be accountable to a community, disagreeing with the left (but agreeing with the right) that the community should ever be synonymous with the state apparatus. And, yet, that doesn't make me a moderate, either! But, I know I am someone, not simply contrary, that my contrariness amounts to something - perhaps the most something a human can be (to believe that the plants and animals and wind and air and our families and our friends are what are left to us when the constructs of society are torn down and that those things that touch us are most important).
Anyhow, that's why - even in a place I love as much as Yellowstone - I focus right now on one aspect of it, the buffalo and have gotten involved with organizing here in Bozeman. It would be hard to be motivated if I were simply against. There has to be a better way, eh?

Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
I don't buy Jim's rant about the Rockefellers either. I suspect it isn't "sour grapes" but Jim's contrarian view about lots of issues. It's always good to have contrarians around as they keep us on our toes and prevent us from getting too smug about long-held beliefs. And no matter how the land was acquired, Grand Teton is one of this nations premier national park areas.

Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
Sour or not, as I said in the other post, the discussion can go forward when someone shows why my own reasons for arguing as I have are contradictory.
Philosophers since Aristotle have argued for a virtue called magnificence (see Nicomachean Ethics); this - i.e. Rockefeller's actions in Jackson Hole - would be a prime example of what Aristotle had in mind. For a lot of reasons, I don't believe that there is such a virtue as magnificence. And, if that suggestion helps move the discussion along, then good. That is, it's a good discussion to be having because there are plenty of policy implications involved.

How About Some Economic Stimulus for the National Park System?
This is an excellent time in the United States to fund park infrastructure and enhance visitor facilities in National Parks.
Especially with the Dollar as low as it is compared to foreign currencies, there is a great incentive for foreign visitors to visit the United States national parks, and an equal incentive for American tourists to spend their money at home traveling to parks and scenic areas throughout the US.
Enhancing alternative transportation systems, to permit visitors to tour America by almost any other kind of vehicle than an automobile could also be enhanced through enlightened transportation appropriations and stimulus spending.
Historically, the NPS has actually taken a more restrictive use of transportation funding than the transportation enhancements (ICTEA, etc) legislation actually allowed. NPS wanted to sink its money primarily into western highways, largely because those highways are so expensive to maintain, and so vulnerable to damage. But the NPS, had it had the money available, could in fact have been using more for historic sites and visitor contact centers, exhibits and other ways to make it easier for visitors to enjoy national parks. Studies have shown that tourists who visit parks also spend a great deal of money throughout the United States, and contribute significantly to improving the international balance of payments, which otherwise drains money from the US.
These efforts to fund visitor infrastructure in parks can also be enhanced if parks think about providing more visitor information in multiple languages. It is striking how few national parks, in high international tourist zones, provide visitor or interpretive information in more than a couple of languages. Go to Italy or France or Japan and see tourism books and interpretation in many languages.
These investments have a huge pay-back, and it makes sense for Congress to fund APPROPRIATE national park expenditures to leverage big tourism returns.
And well-considered investments also enhance the quality of life in America.
Just consider the examples Kurt gives of the parkways built by the CCC.
Skyline Drive makes an enormous contribution to making the entire Washington, D.C. region more livable. These visits from DC-types also gives them a sense of what their work in Washington is really about, as they see the villages and farmlands, appropriate AND inappropriate development, as well as the beauty and peace available in so many places in the United States.

The Presidential Candidates Face-Off
How Will the Next Administration Deal With the Environment?
A recent issue of Audubon magazine, probably the current one, has an excellent article on the candidates' positions on environmental issues, including the national parks. In this interview article, Obama and McCain respond to the same ten questions about environmental issues and alternatives. I'd love to report the gist of it, but I no longer have my copy of the magazine. Perhaps a Traveler reader could help?

Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
Teton Cowgirl, I agree with your comment in whole. It is Very well stated. Sounds like Mr. MacDonald's comment is "sour grapes." I too 'salute such visionary, grand-scale philanthropy' of the Rockefeller family. Thank you Rockefellers.
At Big Thicket National Preserve, a Combative Drug Dealer Changes His Mind When Ranger Stafford Shows Him His Taser
What an ingenious thing to do! It looks like we don't need sophisticated techniques to compete with drug dealers, they can be tricked just like little kids. If only this would be true in all cases perhaps my little brother wouldn't be now in a drug treatment center recovering from drug addiction.

Rockefeller Family Turns Over More than 1,100 Acres to Grand Teton National Park
Thank you Rockefellers ! Thank you for our Grand Teton NP.
I, too hiked the trails and enjoyed the views and wildlife. I also saw "my first" hybrid vehicle reserved parking spaces at the L Rockefeller Preserve. Forward thinking.
The Preserve seems to be a safe, quiet place to hike and enjoy.
At least this rich family gave something back to all of us.
Just Another Snake Story
I'll yield to your expertise on whether or not these snakes are a major threat to humans. They do have the potential to wreak havoc as an introduced species in this ecosystem. Its unfortunate so many people think they want snakes or other animals as "pets," and then just discard them into the wild when they become too much trouble to keep at home.
Skyline Drive Designated as a National Historic Landmark
Thanks for your kind comments! It was a beautiful day and the foliage cooperated, giving us gorgeous views the entire drive. If you're ever in that part of the country, do take the trip. It's an eye-opener for certain.
Page_Co, I share your wonderment as to why this "Celebration" was so underplayed. No mention was made at the Ranger Station/Entry point, no signs posted, flyers given out, nothing. If not for the article here on NPT, I would never have known about it.
Frank, I hear you on your sentiments about the celebration of roads, and know where you're coming from. I won't open Pandora's box on that aspect of this particular road.
But I will say this: It is truly amazing just how well this road resides within the wilderness. You simply cannot see most of the roadbed from anywhere except the road itself or an aircraft. Special care certainly was taken during construction to minimize the impact on both the ridgelines and the flora and fauna of the area, even in an era where this was not of chief concern.
Here's a photo I took attempting to capture a stretch of the road from a neighboring ridge. This was the best and only long-view vantage I could get in the 40 miles that we drove:
You can see how the road just vanishes into the trees and ridges. The Appalachian Trail parallels the road for the most part as well, and is equally invisible.
It is my sincere hope and firm belief that one day soon, we will celebrate both this marvelous roadway AND a newly introduced zero-emissions mode of transportation that would whisk us and the generations to come along its path silently and cleanly.
Just Another Snake Story
these snakes are'nt that bad. many think that they are agressive (exspecially burmese pythons) but they are actually gentle and are very relunctant to bite a person because they do not see us as a food prey. i own a ball python (i know ur probably saying its small compared to burmese) but burmese pythons (like the one featured in the picture) are actually pretty docile in nature. i handle my ball python all the time and he has never tried to strike ever... he still only a baby at about 1.5 to 2 ft long. i think people should actually give snakes a chance exspecially pythons only a few certain types of pythons are "agressive" such as the emerald tree python and the blood python. i would'nt say that they are "agressive" they are just defensive in nature and they strike out of fear for themselves. please people give these snakes a chance.
Skyline Drive Designated as a National Historic Landmark
Dapster, those are some beautiful photos! They really make me want to visit.
I feel like such a hypocrite because I'd certainly love the drive; there's a nagging part of me that thinks we--and the NPS--shouldn't be celebrating roads. Page_Co, I was at a road celebration at Crater Lake, and it had a very strange vibe to it; I won't go into details here. But it felt almost sacrilegious to celebrate the fall of wilderness to industrial tourism. Maybe someday we'll celebrate the re-dedication of NPS roads as trails for bikes, horses, and pedestrians.

We have been following the case filed this past summer by the CFPB in a California federal court against an attorney and his law firm that offered mortgage assistance relief services to consumers. In CFPB v. Chance Edward Gordon, the CFPB obtained a preliminary injunction freezing the law firm's assets and appointing a receiver. The defendants in the case had included a challenge to President Obama's recess appointment of Director Cordray as part of their affirmative defenses.
Earlier this week, the defendants raised that challenge in their opposition to the receiver's request for payment, citing to the D.C. Circuit's Canning decision and its implications for the validity of Mr. Cordray's appointment. They argued that because a finding that Mr. Cordray's appointment was unconstitutional would mean the CFPB lacked authority to bring the underlying action against the non-bank defendants, the court should defer a decision on the receiver's request until the validity of the CFPB's action is determined. In their opposition papers, the defendants state that they have sent requests for admission to the CFPB regarding "the date and nature of Mr. Cordray's appointment" and, once they receive the CFPB's response, expect to file a motion for summary judgment based on Canning.

You arrive at the airport, in a hurry as usual. You look up at the flight departure screen and it says "A fatal exception OE has occurred at....The current application will be terminated..." You know the rest. This is the epitaph in blue that Windows issues for every application it terminates, also known as the Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD.
Lately Matt Michie, a writer and Linux hacker, has been keeping a growing gallery of public BSODs at his site (http://www.daimyo.org/bsod/), which ranks high among the many thousands of pages that show up in searches for "BSOD" or "Blue Screen of Death". From what we can tell, these include a giant Las Vegas billboard, an airport flight schedule display, an ATM machine, a casino game, a building marquee and public signage of various unknown, but not unembarrassing, sorts.

In the June 1996 issue of Linux Journal, we wrote that in addition to support for IA32, Amiga, and Atari, Linux is "being ported to several more platforms, including Alpha, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC." Five years later, not only are these supported but also SuperH, SPARC and UltraSPARC, the S/390, VAX, PA-RISC, IA64, ColdFire, DragonBall, ETRAX, i960 and a host of others.
At this point it almost goes without saying that the predominant web server is Apache, which has had the top market share across all domains since early 1996, holding at better than 60% for the last year—according to Netcraft who has been studying the matter since September 1995. Back then the top server by a huge margin was NCSA's, which flatlined at approximately zero in 1999.
Apache is still doing fine, but it dropped by 1.29% in January of this year, Netcraft reports. Microsoft's IIS gained 1.82%, and Sun's iPlanet, the third-place server, dropped .29%. Both Apache, and Microsoft gained in absolute numbers. Netcraft found 16,207,982 domains served by Apache and 5,903,512 served by Microsoft. But there were other developments behind those details. Netcraft reports,
The relatively static market share for Microsoft on the Web as a whole contrasts sharply with its progress in our companion SSL Server survey where Microsoft makes consistent and relentless gains, month after month, and now accounts for 49% of the sites performing encrypted transactions on the Internet. Arguably, Microsoft's applications have made the difference, with there being no straightforward alternative to Microsoft's Commerce Server in the UNIX world.
Netcraft also reveals that PHP is being adopted at an extremely rapid pace:
The PHP module is compiled into the Apache server on over five million web sites, or approaching 40% of all Apache sites. Although PHP will only be in use on a fraction of these sites currently, it is regarded as easier to program than Perl or JSP and has created a broad developer community in a relatively short space of time. PHP, together with MySQL and Apache, has become the de facto way of developing web applications in the Linux environment, in a similar way to the IIS/ASP/SQL-server combination in the Microsoft world.
The Netcraft survey can be found at www.netcraft.com.
