Clarabelle Cow is a fictional character created by Ub Iwerks in 1928 for Walt Disney.
She is the girlfriend of Horace Horsecollar and one of Minnie Mouse's best friends. She appeared in the 1990s branded licensing program Minnie n Me. Clarabelle has never been anything more than a supporting character in the USA, her country of origin; only in Italy has she been treated as one of Disney's leading lights. Nevertheless, the character remains famous in the United States, surprisingly so in light of her decades of relative disuse.
Clarabelle mostly played bit-part characters in the approximately 30 cartoon shorts in which she appeared, and her character was never as fully developed as the "Fab Five." She and Horace Horsecollar had an uncanny ability to change from somewhat normal farmyard animals into anthropomorphized beings as necessary. Apparently Clarabelle was given a skirt originally to give a modicum of modesty to the rubbery bovine, serving to hide her enormous appendage.
In modern animation, Clarabelle has returned to active use, appearing first in a few segments of Mickey Mouse Works. In Disney's House of Mouse she regularly turned up as a gossip columnist, with the tagline "Gossip is Always True". Recently, Clarabelle has also made appearances in the preschool series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and in the direct-to-video movie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers as Pete's lieutenant and Goofy's love interest.
Clarabelle also makes a cameo in Kingdom Hearts II in the Timeless River world as one of its citizens.
Clarabelle is set to have her show The Clarabelle Show coming soon on Playhouse Disney.
For a brief time, during the late 1960s, Clarabelle began dating Goofy, perhaps in an attempt to give Goofy a girlfriend. During this time Horace's whereabouts are unknown. Clarabelle's status with Goofy was challenged by another gal named Glory-Bee.. In later comics, Clarabelle and Horace were a couple again. Clarabelle also has a young cousin, Bertie the Jinx, a niece, Itsy-Betsy, and a socialite aunt named Miss Bovina, who have appeared in several issues of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories.
From the eighties forward only a few stories with Clarabelle Cow were made in USA. In Europe on the other hand, especially in Italy, the production of stories continued and is still going strong today.
She also appears in "Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade" and "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade".
Clarabelle also appears (without Horace) at Disneyland Park. She has also appeared in several Disneyland parades and shows, including The World According to Goofy, Light Magic, the Parade of the Stars, Fantasmic and A Christmas Fantasy Parade.
Clarabelle and Horace come out for meet-and-greets and appear in parades and shows on a regular basis at Tokyo Disneyland as well.

The Allman Brothers Band's iconic At Fillmore East live album is getting a massive box set reissue that will include fifteen unreleased tracks and will feature six CDs.
The new set will be released on July 29th. The original album featured songs from the band's performances over four shows at the venue on March 12-13, 1971.
The new box set, entitled The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings, will also include the previously unreleased full set from the band's June 27th concert where they performed during the closing weekend for the legendary New York City venue.
The band released these details about the new box set along with the tracklisting: Produced by Bill Levenson, who compiled the definitive Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective (Rounder, 2013), The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings captures the most inspired improvisational rock unit ever at the peak of their prodigious powers, blazing their way through extended instrumental elaborations, so taut and virtuosic, that the crowds that packed the Fillmore East on those memorable nights were utterly transfixed. When it came to live performance, no other band could touch the Allmans.
In his scrupulously detailed notes for the set, Allmanologist John Lynskey writes: "From its inception in March 1969, the Allman Brothers Band rapidly established a near-mythical reputation through its incendiary, marathon concerts. No other group could touch the Allman Brothers when it came to extended, improvised jamming; they truly were in a league and dimension of their own. Duane Allman was joined by his brother Gregg on keyboards and vocals, the dual drumming combo of Jaimoe and Butch Trucks, bassist extraordinaire Berry Oakley, and Dickey Betts, Duane's foil on guitar. Together, these individually talented artists blended into a unit whose sum exceeded the total of its impressive singular parts. The group toured relentlessly—they spent 300 days on the road in 1970 ? honing their sound and building a loyal fan base, one show at a time. An Allman Brothers' concert could not be explained, it could only be experienced, and by word of mouth, the group became known as 'the people's band' for their no-frills approach to live music."
As Lynskey notes, the Allman Brothers Band's magic has always existed primarily on the concert stage, but on the weekend of March 12-13, 1971, when they rolled into Manhattan to play four shows at the iconic East Village venue, they raised the bar higher than ever. "That weekend in March of '71 when we recorded At Fillmore East, most of the time it clicked," drummer Butch Trucks recalls. "We were finally starting to catch up with what we were listening to. We had lived together…we got in trouble together; we all just moved as a unit. And then, when we got onstage to play, that's what it was all about—and it just happened to all come together that weekend."
The four shows were recorded by veteran Atlantic Records engineer/producer Tom Dowd, who'd not only produced the Allmans' second album, Idlewild South, but also the sessions for Derek & the Dominos project, putting Duane Allman together with Eric Clapton for some mind-blowing extended guitar duels. That album, Layla, dramatically backed up those who'd been calling the upstart Allman Brothers Band the most exciting live act on the planet, and its little-known 24-year-old leader a fiery six-string virtuoso to rival Clapton, Beck and Page. Dowd and Atlantic, consequently, wanted to put out a live album to capture a skilled and adventurous band in full flight, the two guitars circling each other like a pair of falcons, stretching their material into thrilling and electrifying shapes. No matter that the Allmans had yet to tackle most of their live material in the studio—this band wasn't about the studio.
"If we could just get people to come out and see us," Duane Allman told interviewer Bud Scoppa on the afternoon of Friday, March 12, before their first pair of headlining sets, "I know they'd like what they heard."
How right he was.

New Play Captures Spirit of Vivekananda
From The Hindu
Like the protagonist of his solo play on Swami Vivekananda, singer-actor Shekhar Sen won the hearts of one and all.
The life and vision of the man divine, Swami Vivekananda was presented by Impresario India in an incredible musical play written, composed and enacted by the renowned actor-singer Shekhar Sen from Mumbai at Kamani auditorium this past week. The outstanding performance of this gifted artiste encompassed the life of the patriot saint whose vision of shared spirituality and eloquent message at the World Parliament of Religions at Chicago conquered the hearts of people from across the world. Disclosing the making of this dynamic saint, the two-hour long riveting play unfolds the stories of his childhood, the impact of the Brahmo-Samaj on him, his eagerness to find God and meeting his revered mentor Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, his unforgettable Chicago speech, and so on.
A talented singer, composer, lyricist and actor, Sen left the audience awestruck, debating whether he was a better singer or actor, after his spellbinding performance as Vivekananda. With a solid background provided by his initial training in classical music from an early age under his parents Anita and Arun Kumar Sen, both renowned vocalists of the Gwaliar gharana, Shekhar later established his distinct identity by singing poetry of the medieval poets. He has done more than 1500 shows across the world. With 190 cassettes and CDs to his credit, he has also sung for the record-breaking serial "Ramayana". After the resounding success of his musical mono-acts on Goswami Tulsidas and Kabeer, "Vivekananda" represents yet another milestone for this gem of an artiste.

Top Widgets for Amateur PhotographersAuthored by: Leila Pierre — Aug 17, 2013
UVA Silent Widget Camera Free
Do you have a smartphone that has no physical button to take a photo? And when it comes to the decisive moment, you always miss it because it takes too long to open the camera application? If this sounds familiar, then we've got a little something just for you: UVA Silent Widget Camera Free.
Once you place the widget on your home screen, you simply have to keep your finger on it to take a photo: there's no application to open or focusing to do. It's basically like a high-res screen capture but produces lower quality pictures than the default camera app on your smartphone. Still, it's pretty fun, and another advantage: it is silent...
Animated Photo Frame Widget
This widget offers to make your smartphone screen into a digital picture frame. Choose the picture you want to put in, resize it, crop it, choose your framing, and voila!
You can also scroll through several photos in an album or in your camera gallery, and select from various transition effects. Simple fun for your snaps.
A widget that allows you once again to select a photo and put it on your screen. Except that it will bring some minor random changes to the image. You're advised to take a portrait of yourself, because the effect is funnier as you appear in various scenes. I've never seen anything particularly hilarious, but the effects are nice in any case. You can choose to adapt the changes especially for men, women, children or horror effects.
The image update occurs every six minutes but you'll need to invest in the premium version to really access more fun. Warning: not suitable for tablets, the widget is too small and is not resizable.
I wish I could have also included the Flickr widget, and been able to enjoy the beautiful pictures hosted there directly on the screen without opening the app, but unfortunately this widget does not exist. Flickr, are you listening? If you know of any others, just let me know!

IN his farm storage, Julio Jairos keeps a dusted and broken-down tractor, partly because as a former mechanic he has a keen interest in machines, but more because it was how he made the shift in life by starting serious farming.
"In 2009, I drove this old tractor to Tianze Tobacco Company and asked its managers to help," Jairos said. "I said 'I have the land and want to grow tobacco for you, but I don't have the money to buy a tractor. Would you help me?'"
Jairos, who had little farming know-how, said he was caught by surprise when the managers agreed, offering him loans to buy a tractor and farm inputs.
Bound by a contract, he was expected to sell the tobacco he grew to Tianze to write off the debt. If anything was left, that would be entirely his profit. This model of contract farming continues till this date.
Today, Jairos produces about 60 tons of tobacco from 24 hectares of land and is able to sell them for averagely 4 U.S. dollars per kilogram, raising US$240,000 in revenue.
Clearing his loan of US$182, 000, Jairos comfortably pockets more than US$50,000 dollars a year.
"They (Tianze staff) help me build up the farm bit by bit every year. If they had left me, I couldn't do anything and I wouldn't have survived," Jairos told Xinhua on his Caroline Farm in Mashonaland East province.
The company Jairos refers to is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Tobacco, China's state-owned monopoly that produces the world's largest number of cigarettes with roughly 2.4 trillion sticks of cigarettes sold annually in recent years. Most of the cigarettes were sold in the domestic market.
Tobacco leaves are sourced from both home and abroad, sustaining the livelihood of small farmers from as far as Zimbabwe who otherwise may have to struggle to find any cash crop that is as profitable to grow.
Zhang Heng, managing director of Tianze, said the company was founded in 2005 to join the already crowded market of Big Tobacco in Zimbabwe, dominated by British American Tobacco and several local white commercial farmers-owned companies.
But over the years, Tianze managed to secure its leading marketplace on the back of China's unabated demand for tobacco.
With smoking considered a deviant form of life at home, Zimbabwe sells 90 percent of its tobacco abroad. According to the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board, about 36 percent of the country's 166 million kg tobacco output was exported to China last year.
"Almost all the major cigarette brands in China now contain some Zimbabwean tobacco," Zhang said. "As our businesses grow, we also see many of our contract farmers expand their hectarage from 6 hectares to 20 hectares or above 100 hectares."
Overall, tobacco production in Zimbabwe is projected to reach 170 million kg in 2014 with planted farmland for tobacco growing to 90,000 hectares this year.
More than 91,000 farmers registered to grow tobacco, an increase of 28.7 percent from a year earlier, according to Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa.
Huge China demand ... Demand from China is boosting local tobacco production
Land reform
Like hundreds of thousands of black farmers in this country, Jairos acquired his plot during the fast-track land reform exercise which started in 2000. Under the programme, more than 220,000 hectares of prime farmland were seized from some 3,500 white settler farmers and allocated to indigenous Zimbabweans.
Critics from the West condemned the reallocation process as a serious violation of human rights and warned that Zimbabwe, once dubbed as bread-basket of Africa, could see its agriculture sector collapse with experienced white farmers being chased away.
But the government, led by revolutionary icon President Robert Mugabe, defended the move, saying there is justice for indigenous Zimbabweans to take back its land from white "colonizers."
Tobacco had been grown in Zimbabwe long before the country's independence in 1980. But with little farming knowledge and few assets, indigenous Zimbabweans with their new-found farmland could neither borrow money from banks nor buckle down to grow tobacco from ground zero.
"Tobacco-growing is technical in each and every stage. It really takes a professional farmer to grow tobacco," said Tatenda Mubatapasi, Tianze's production manager who majored in tobacco science in college.
"You miss one step, there is no remedy, and it is going to affect the prices. And it needs big investment - from irrigation to curing barns," Mubatapasi added.
"Banks won't lend if you don't have collateral and the interest rate can go up to 21 percent, both of which are luxury indigenous farmers cannot afford."
Zimbabwe started piloting contract farming in 2004.
Deputy Foreign Minister Christopher Mutsvangwa, who was then Zimbabwe's ambassador to China, said tobacco production then dipped to a low of 30 million kg and the government worked hard to introduce contract farming to attract Chinese investment.
Under contract farming, tobacco companies lend to farmers and guide them through the tobacco growing and curing process and in return become the prioritized buyers of tobacco produced by the farmers they assisted.
"If people want to talk about the success of the land reform, the starting point is what we have done with tobacco, which has emerged as the major agricultural export for Zimbabwe. And we did it with China," Mutsvangwa said.
Contract farming soon spread to cover cotton, maize, and other crops but none can be as successful as tobacco, the sector that accounts for 10.7 percent of Zimbabwe's gross domestic product of around 13 billion U.S. dollars.
Government officials say within a few years the country's tobacco production will return to the record of 237 million kg a year achieved before the fast-track land reform went into full swing in 2001.
The only difference is the bumpy harvest will be driven by the majority of indigenous farmers instead of the settler white farmers.
Millionaires Mubatapasi said because of the ties between settler white farmers and the whites-owned or Western tobacco companies, Tianze started out by focusing on partnering the indigenous farmers and, at present, more than half of the big indigenous farmers in Marondera are contracted by Tianze. Some have become millionaires.
Stanley Masaiti, 57, worked on a whites-owned farm in Marondera as a young boy. He was promoted to the position of farm manager before the "fast-track" land reform exercise.
His boss knew that losing the farm was imminent and struck a deal with the authorities to peacefully transfer the ownership of the 120-hectare Muembwe Farm to Masaiti.
Masaiti did contract farming with another tobacco company before joining Tianze in 2008-2009. The loan Tianze gave to Masaiti was massive and it paid off.
"I don't have to worry about the money going into the fields - irrigation, power, and etc., -- that I can focus on raising productivity and improving tobacco quality," Masaiti said, adding that his best quality tobacco leaf can fetch an average selling price of 5.42 U.S. dollars per kg, or almost twice the market price.
Masaiti now employs 108 full time workers and another 100 part-timers. Net profit from tobacco growing on the farm goes beyond US$500,000 a year.
Mubatapasi said Masaiti's farm produces probably the best quality tobacco leaf the country can find, a remarkable achievement considering that he has only runs the farm for a less than a decade and faces with stiff competition from white farmers who have been in the business for decades.
"As tobacco companies, we fight for good growers. If you are a good grower, the contract is there," Mubatapasi said. "It is like a scholarship, we are constantly looking for the best growers and assist them."
Masaiti said what he discovered is that there is no short-cut in tobacco farming. The so-called telephone farming in which the farm owner stays in the city and manages the farm by making phone calls is not going to work.
"Any short-cut is certain to backfire," Masaiti said. "The moment you go back to the farm, things have turned upside down."
Analysts say agrarian reform is a slow process and that it takes about a generation for new farmers to be fully productive.
Contract farming in Zimbabwe has proven to be effective in both providing up-front financial assistance and dissemination of knowledge, fast-tracking the process and enabling the new farmers to succeed earlier than they would have thought.
Starting from scratch, Jairos is now able to share a few tobacco farming tips with newcomers.
"Tobacco farming is all about timing. That is what I have discovered," Jarios said. "If you don't do the right things at the right time, you are not going to get the best tobacco."
Jarios said after improving the irrigation system last year he is now trying to persuade Tianze to chip in for overhauling the curing barns.
"I want to raise my yield from 2.5 tons per hectare to 3.5 tons and the barns are the key," Jarios said.
"If you don't do well, you won't get a loan. That is why I always chase my workers saying 'let's work very hard to make a success.'"

Every fisherman's kit should include lures, hooks, bait, a net and a good LED flashlight. LED flashlights and headlamps are incredibly useful gadgets for fishing expeditions. They come in handy for dozens of tasks, from baiting your hook to cleaning your catch to finding your way back to your tent if you spent a little too long on the lake. Furthermore, because many fishermen prefer to cast their hooks during the hours of darkness, LED flashlights and headlamps are often considered necessities.
Like humans, fish follow certain activity patterns during a 24-hour period. Although it is certainly possible to catch fish during the day, it is sometimes difficult because this is the time when most fish cling to the shore, hiding under protective leaves and branches to avoid predators. Watch a lake or river at twilight, and you'll notice a definite uptick in the number of fish jumping and feeding as darkness approaches. Many fishermen even prefer fishing at night, when some species of fish are naturally more active, since they have the protective cover of darkness. Avid night fishermen say that many fish are most active around 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., when they tend to feed.
Especially when fishing at night, an LED flashlight is an essential tool. However, just as there are entire books on selecting the appropriate fishing lure, there are a few things to keep in mind when selecting and using LED flashlights and headlamps on night fishing expeditions:
Go Green to Avoid Spooking Fish
Although casual campers and hikers usually prefer LED flashlights that emit white light, avid fishermen are more likely to use green LED flashlights. There are several reasons for this. First, the cells that your eye uses in night vision are more sensitive to blue-green light than any other light spectrum. Second, green light does not spook fish. Indeed, there are several products on the market that claim to actually attract fish to your boat by emitting green light.
Red Light and Night Vision
One sign of newbie night fishermen is their lack of respect for night vision. Switching on a white LED flashlight will only destroy the night vision of those around you. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours to regain night vision that has been sacrificed to a sudden bright light. An LED flashlight that puts out red light, however, will preserve night vision while providing just enough light for you to see what you're doing.
Fishermen also rely on red and green lights to communicate their location to other nearby vessels. Indeed, many states require fishing boats to constantly shine green or red lights in order to promote safety.
Ultraviolet Light: Fuel for Luminescent Lures
One final tone of light that is popular for fishing trips is ultraviolet light. Luminescent lures may be recharged with a blast of UV light – just be sure not to shine it in the eyes of your companions, as it can damage vision. LED flashlights with ultraviolet settings may also be used to monitor a fishing line for tugs.
Fishing Torches and Water Resistance
As mentioned earlier, some fishing enthusiasts swear by using green LED flashlights to attract fish. Typically, this method involves fully submerging green lights in the water, where fish will be drawn to them. However, even if you don't plan to use this approach, your LED flashlight or headlamp should be water resistant. Headlamps and flashlights are likely to get wet while you're out fishing, so it makes sense to select model that can survive some exposure to wetness.
Headlamps: Excellent Tools for Cleaning Your Catch
Finally, if you're shopping for an excellent fishing torch, consider how headlamps can make a fishing trip easier. Headlamps leave your hands free for the multitude of manual tasks fishing requires. Just be sure you don't shine your headlamp directly into the eyes of your fishing companions; this is just good fishing etiquette.
Finally, most fishermen recommend keeping any excessive light away from water surfaces that you are plying for fish. Except in the case of green light, most LED flashlights will spook fish away from your boat, so avoid directing them down into the water.
By considering the tips listed above, you can find the perfect LED flashlight or headlamp for your next fishing adventure.

Community Borrowers
Residents of the State of Connecticut who are at least 18 years old who are not affiliated with ECSU may fill out an application for an ECSU Community Borrower Card at the Circulation Desk. Alumni who have graduated from ECSU, regardless of state of residence, may also apply for a Community Borrower Card. Alumni are entitled to the same privileges as Community borrowers.
Smith Library issues Community Borrowers Cards at no charge to persons who want to borrow books and other materials on a regular basis. The card will expire every 12 months at which time Library staff will re-verify the cardholder's mailing address and phone number and collect any outstanding fines. Once that is done, the card will be renewed for another 12 months.
As part of the application process, Smith Library staff will verify the applicant's identity, age and permanent address. A Connecticut driver's license or state identification card are the best means to verify this information, although the Access Services librarian may accept alternate forms of proof, such as a passport for identity or a current utility bill for permanent address. Library cards from other libraries, credit cards, and store shopping cards are not sufficient proof of identity and address to get a Community Borrower's Card.
Smith Library will provide a Community Borrower Card with a barcode number to identify the account of each approved applicant. The Community Borrower Card has a signature stripe but will not have the cardholder's picture on it. Community borrowers will need to present a picture ID to Library staff with their Community Borrower Card to obtain borrow library materials. The Community Borrower Card and its associated privileges at Smith Library are not transferable to any other person. By accepting and signing the Community Borrower Card the applicant is accepting and agreeing to adhere to Smith Library's policies.
Please note that Smith Library interlibrary loan staff will not accept interlibrary loan requests from community borrowers or alumni. Interlibrary loan is a very costly service to provide and is limited to faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students of ECSU. In Connecticut many town libraries provide ILL service for town residents. CCSU, SCSU and WCSU libraries will not accept CONSULS requests or loan books and other materials to ECSU community borrowers, although each of these libraries may have their own community borrower program.
Community borrowers and alumni may access the Library's academic research databases on site by means of six public access computers in the Library, but will not have off-site access due to license restrictions imposed by the database providers. Some of the databases that Smith Library offers from iConn, Connecticut's Digital Library Project, may be accessible to Connecticut residents through their local town library.
Smith Library will loan a maximum of 10 general circulation books to community borrowers for 28 days. Borrowers can renew these materials two times, in person or on the telephone, for 28 days each time. The Library loans videotapes and DVDs (a maximum of three at any one time)to community borrowers for 14 days, no renewals. Community borrowers are limited to three music CDs at any one time with a loan period of 28 days and two renewals allowed.
The Library's course reserve collection consists of Library materials and ECSU faculty members' personal materials that are assigned reading, viewing, or listening for students enrolled in specific ECSU classes. Community borrowers may not remove reserve items from the Library regardless of the reserve loan period granted to enrolled ECSU students. Reference collection materials and periodicals (either print or microform) do not circulate to any borrower.
Community Borrower Cards are non-transferable. ( e.g. The Library does not loan books to high school students using their parent's Community Borrower Card.)

While NanaOn-Sha and its president Masaya Matsuura have most recently been tied to the DS Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop series, they haven't forgotten their rhythm-based roots. The creators of original PlayStation games PaRappa the Rapper and Vib-Ribbon today released another music game, musika, for Apple's iPod.
Released in conjunction with Sony BMG Music Entertainment and created by Masaya, NanaOn-Sha's musika is a combination music visualizer and game. Players choose a song from their library, and as the song plays, musika presents a series of characters using a variety of different effects. If the character on the screen is included in the title of the track, players have to push the iPod's center button. If it isn't, they can allow the letter to pass, or push the fast-forward or rewind buttons to skip to the next letter.
Consecutive correct inputs build the multiplier, while too many errant guesses will end the song early. There are also a handful of emoticon characters to provide bonuses along the way. The game includes three difficulty levels, high score lists, a visualizer, and a tutorial mode. It is now available to download for $4.99 through iTunes.

My scooter finally runs!
I had posted the thread about my Elite 150 with the blown engine earlier, and now I have installed the new motor that I bought off of ebay. It only took me a little while to install it. The engine came in a large wooden crate, and looked like it had not been started in years, and it have very few miles on it. So once I got the engine assembled in the scoot, I filled the radiator up with anti freeze, put fresh oil in the transmission and engine, and charged up the battery. It did not want to start at first, but after spraying some carb cleaner in the carb and messing with the vacume tube, it fired right up. It felt and sounded strong, and I could feel that it had great compression right away, unlike my old motor. I am currently on vacation and cannot wait to get back and ride it. But there is a problem. The problem is that the tube in the back of the transmission that goes to the air filter was way to long on this engine, so I pulled it out so that I could put the much shorter tube from my old engine on it, but now no matter what I do, I can not get either tube back into the hole. Any suggestions on how to get this back in? And will it damage the transmission or engine to ride with out it? Other than that, it is great.
Here are some pics of the new motor:

In many jurisdictions other than the United States, witnesses may be compelled under threat of contempt to answer questions even when the answers would incriminate the witness in a criminal offense. (However, in Canada for example, Charter §13 provides automatic use immunity.) In such jurisdictions, such statements given under compulsion of subpoena cannot be used as evidence against that person (which is not the case in the United States). The American system has the benefit of not exposing the witness to the risk that law enforcement will be able to obtain collateral evidence based on the witness's testimony that law enforcement could not possibly have learned had the witness been allowed to remain silent.
A witness may not refuse to answer questions on the ground that the answers may reveal matters that may incriminate other persons. Generally, a witness may not refuse to answer any relevant question put to him or her unless the answer would incriminate that witness. One common application of this rule is the practice of providing limited transactional immunity to a defendant as to specific crimes, thus narrowing the protection against self-incrimination, and permitting a court to compel answers about those crimes. The victim of a crime may be detained and compelled to answer questions, as a material witness, even if the victim does not want to "press charges," on the theory that the crime is of public concern, and the right does not extend to other parties.
As federal grand juries have the power to subpoena individuals and force them to take the witness stand, defendants in such proceedings invariably refuse to answer any questions put to them, citing their Fifth Amendment rights. If the defendant does answer any question put by the prosecutor during the proceeding, the protection of the Fifth Amendment is lost.
One famous example of "taking the fifth" in recent history was when Colonel Oliver North was asked to testify before Congress regarding his role in destroying documents during the Iran-Contra Affair. North refused to answer on the grounds that his answers would incriminate him for obstruction of justice.
The phrase "I take [or plead] the Fifth" is often used in non-legal contexts to convey a reluctance to answer a potentially embarrassing question.

The student-to-teacher ratio was the biggest factor in my decision to choose La Salle. As a result of the 14 to 1 ratio, I can receive more personal attention and assistance whenever I need it. Professors welcome you to contact them whenever you need to and they really go out of their way to make sure you have a sufficient understanding of the course topics.
The food that La Salle offers really surprised me. La Salle's food service really avoids the generalization about college food. The dining halls provide a great place to eat great food. With a bunch of different meals and snacks, there is always something good to eat.

Ok, since the boards got short term amnesia and threads disappeared, let's get up to speed:
1)Double Fine Adventure's campain has ended, smashing every crowdfunding record ever with a final total of 3.45 million (including a few off-Kickstarter contributions). It's more than double what any other Kickstarter has raised and more than six times the number of backers.
2)The day DFA closes, Brian Fargo launches a Kickstarter for Wasteland 2, with the highest goal of any Kickstarter up to that point, $900,000, with Fargo pledging $100,000 of his own money to meet his $1 million target if need be. It blows past this goal in less than two days, and is now the third biggest Kickstarter of all time, and is pretty much guaranteed to finish as second. $2 million+ seems very possible at this point. This pretty much cements that the Double Fine thing was not an isolated incident and this is going to continue to be a viable way for gaming projects with name recognition to get real budgets.
3) The next day, a fat retard who won a $43,000,000 lottery jackpot in 2007 and has no game development experience whatsoever and no team behind him, launches a Kickstarter with a $1.1 million goal to develop an MMO.
4) A new team of ex-Bioware leads are working on an original S-RPG called The Banner Saga, with a modest $100,000 goal. It seems like this will be reached by the end of its first day.
5) The creators of Under a Killing Moon and Pandora Directive, two of the best adventure games ever made, tease an announcement about the Tex Murphy series for tomorrow, March 20. This is generally expected to be about a Kickstarter project developed by Big Finish games, a studio founded by the series' creators a few years back.
6) I emailed Greg Johnson to ask what was up with doing a Toejam and Earl and/or Starflight Kickstarter. He said once they finish their current project, he's definitely thinking about TJ&E

When Basheer Mohamed was in his sophomore year in high school at the Fred N. Thomas Career Education Center Middle College of Denver, he started participating in Computers to Youth, a CU Environmental Center program that provides middle and high school students from low-income communities around Colorado with upgraded computers and basic computing programs. Mentors with the program teach participants how to use the computers and software.
"As a participant in the Computers to Youth program, I learned a lot about how computers work-not only about software and how computers work but how the hardware works too," Mohamed said. "It was a huge spark in the interest of technology for me."
Mohamed is now a first-year open option engineering student at CU-Boulder. He plans to major in chemical and biological engineering or mechanical engineering. Mohamed said the Computers to Youth program was one of the factors that led to his decision to pursue an engineering degree.
"I came out really eager to learn more about computers," Mohamed said. "It was really beneficial to me and my family because it taught me how to build a computer and I wouldn't have been able to do that. It definitely sparked my interest in engineering."
Youth who participate in the program each build an upgraded computer that they use to supplement their education at home. On-site instruction and follow-up mentoring is provided by CU students from the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement and the state-wide MESA program (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement).
These CU student mentors provide ongoing assistance and encouragement throughout the year. An important goal is to enhance the middle and high schools students' academic skills to enable their enrollment at Universities like CU.
Mohamed now works as one of these mentors, teaching middle school and high school students how to use and build computers. He began mentoring in Fall 2013 and plans to continue.
In 2005, Dell funded CU's first computer round-up where over 50 working systems were collected from the community within the three day event. Then, in 2006, EPA funding allowed CU to expand its efforts statewide. Last year, CU teamed up internally to provide a new level of student-lead service.
With this experience, CU can more fully develop the educational experience of connecting CU students with disadvantaged middle and high school students.
The program will be expanding in 2014 with support from a number of campus departments and private sources.
Two pressing issues will be addressed through the program: the growing amount of waste from computers and the "digital divide" (the relative inaccessibility to computing and communication technology).
This project is unique in that it connects CU's commitment to diversity with its experience protecting the environment. It is designed to help the public understand that these two efforts can complement one another.
The CU Environmental Center's newly-expanded mission strengthens this link between environmental preservation and social equity. Important contributors to date include CU's Property Service, CU Parents Association, and the Microsoft Corporation. It is hoped this project will create additional collaboration with community groups and corporate sponsors in Colorado.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
hi jan,
jeff took the words right out of my mouth. :)
but let me add to it. "root=" is indeed a _VALID_ parameter to pass to the
kernel, but it doesn't do what you think it should.
when you pass "root=" to the kernel, it tells the kernel HOW to mount the
root filesystem. the valid entries are "ro", "rw" or "debug". as you can
imagine, ro means to mount / as read only. rw means to mount / as read
write, and debug effects the "level of importance" for which messages are
printed to the console during kernel initialization.
what you want to do is tell the kernel where to FIND the filesystem, not how
to mount it. to do that, you use the "root=" parameter as a lilo
directive, not as a kernel argument (which is what append= does).
some lilo commands get written directly into the kernel itself. that's why
you can willy-nilly compile a kernel and have it work on all machines. the
location of / is hardwired into the kernel image. looking at the issue this
way, it should make more sense that you want to issue a lilo directive, not
an argument to be passed to the kernel at boot time.

Blog Helps Doctor Educate Medical Community on Use of Opiates for Bipolar
Retired Nashville physician Dr. Robert T. Cochran has just launched a new blog in hopes of educating the medical community and the public about his controversial book, The Opiate Cure. Dr. Cochran's blog may be read at http://www.OpiateCureBlog.com.
In 2011, Dr. Robert T. Cochran published his third book about the management of chronic pain. This one titled, The Opiate Cure. The Opiate Cure is a book about Dr. Robert T. Cochran's many case studies of patients who under his care, received opiates for the treatment and/or relief of chronic pain and/or bipolar disorder. Not all of the medical community, including some state medical boards, are in agreement with his case studies.
When asked if local Tennessee doctors are embracing this method of treatment, "Embracing is not the proper word. Accepting, might be a more-suitable word, but this is all in fear of the Board [Tennessee State Medical Board] and societal fear," according to Dr. Cochran.
When asked why opiates are such a hot button in the medical community? "The Harrison Tax Act made the possession of opiates illegal. Prior to that time, you could just go to the grocery store and buy it off the shelf. Currently, there is a problem with the illegal use of opiates, so many state boards are tightening down on the prescribing of these medications as well. Oddly, now that are fewer opiates being prescribed by physicians, the incidence of heroin use on the streets is increasing. The street cost of heroin is cheaper than street cost of methadone, oxycodone and Oxycontin", said Dr. Cochran.
Doctor Cochran's book does not promote the illicit use of any drug. What it does convey is that according to his many case studies, many of his patients found great relief after being prescribed opiates when suffering from bipolar disease and/or chronic pain. The relationship between the two disorders, and the relief patients received after taking opiate medications, is perhaps something the medical community will need time to diagnose and process.
Learn more about Dr. Robert T. Cochran Jr. and his book by visiting his new blog located at http://www.OpiateCureBlog.com.

Recently, Brodie and Samuel came into town to do some work. We found out that they hadn't gotten a hotel reservation yet, so we offered to let them stay at our place as long as they gave us some hot morning action to film.
Luckily they had no problem with that. So we led them their new room, said goodnight and waited for the morning with great anticipation, hoping they both would wake up with hard-ons and an urge to cum.
Brodie wakes up first, so he rolls over and starts rubbing his rock hard morning wood on Samuel's ass. Of course the feeling of a cock wakes the handsome dark haired stud from his slumber and instantly arouses his cock. Since Brodie isn't into guys, Samuel takes the lead and gives his buddy a good sucking before turning around, putting his ass up in the air, and demanding to have a cock stuffed into his tight man-pussy. Brodie looks around for any females, doesn't see any, so he decides to slam some ass to get his rocks off. He gets behind Samuel and slides his thick cock into the waiting puckered hole.
These two are sex hogs who deliver a great scene with true enjoyment. If you've noticed Brodie and Samuel on NextDoorBuddies before, that's because they're STUDS and we love seeing both of them suck, fuck and having fun. Because that's what it's all about!

operating system, drivers, or even faulty hardware!
The problem with these hangs is that they are often very difficult to track down since there are a number of possible causes. The best thing you can do is to follow a few basic steps to ensure the computer is healthy.
If you feel comfortable, open your case and check all fans on your system, including the CPU and Video graphics fan (if any). In my experience I have found that most video card fans are likely to fail and any 'no-brand' CPU fans. Depending on your motherboard, you might also take a look at the motherboard in case there is a fan on the chipset.
Coming to the operating system, a general cleanup is recommended. Dive into the Add/Remove programs under control panel (assuming your running Windows) and remove any unwanted applications. You can also download a registry cleaner and run it to ensure your Windows registry is nice and clean.
Lastly, you can try the latest service pack for your operating system to ensure critical files are updated. Also check your antivirus definitions are up-to date. If you haven't got an antivirus, you should download and install one given the number of viruses in the loose these days!
If after all the above your problems continue, then you might want to send the computer to a local computer store for a health checkup.
Hope the above helps solve your computer problems!

Mar 31, 2014 Comments Off on UFW, Movie Try To Cover-Up Fact Cesar Chavez Was Most Anti-Illegal Immigration, Anti-Amnesty American In History Chuck Biscuits
Cesar Chavez would say "si se puede!" when it comes to fighting for #immigration reform, says @UFWupdates' Ana Rosa pic.twitter.com/lsBzMIfXeQ
— FWD.us (@FWD_us) March 31, 2014
"This is a historic moment for us to join with the tech industry…"-Arturo Rodriguez, President of @UFWupdates #CesarChavezMovie
— FWD.us (@FWD_us) March 31, 2014
An endless wave of illegal aliens willing to work for less money than Chavez's union workers rendered everything he was building, moot. Chavez would've strung landmines across the entire US/Mexico border to keep the Mexicans out if he could've.
Excerpted from Breitbart: On Sunday, a day before Cesar Chavez Day, the United Farm Workers (UFW) union distorted the late labor leader's legacy during a San Francisco screening of a new movie about him. The union said Chavez would say, "Si se puede!" ("Yes, we can!") to amnesty legislation, which he fervently opposed.
Chavez co-founded the UFW, and the producers of the Cesar Chavez movie, who have not shied away from liberal political causes in the past, avoided the topic of immigration reform in the movie because the facts were so against Chavez's support of it. As The New York Times noted, the producers believed that Chavez "fought for better wages and conditions for workers but held complex and evolving views on the status of unauthorized immigrants, some of which would be at odds with the changes many Hispanics and others are seeking today."
Ana Rosa, a United Farm Workers union negotiator, said on an immigration panel before a San Francisco screening of the movie with FWD.us, the pro-amnesty group started by Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, that Chavez would have been all-in on amnesty legislation.
Arturo Rodriguez, the current president of the UFW, said this was a "historic moment." The tech industry wants an influx of foreign workers with more high-tech visas because they claim there is a shortage of high tech workers even though there is no empirical evidence to support those claims.
Partnering with the tech industry to pass comprehensive immigration reform would lower wages for American workers, as the Congressional Budget Office determined, which is against everything Chavez stood for.
As Breitbart News has previously noted, Ruben Navarrette, Jr., a supporter of comprehensive immigration who has "studied and written about Chavez and the United Farm Workers … for more than 20 years," wrote in a 2010 essay that "the historical record shows that Chavez was a fierce opponent of illegal immigration." He added that "it's unlikely that he'd have looked favorably on a plan to legalize millions of illegal immigrants."
Chavez also wanted stiffer sanctions against employers who hired illegal immigrants, and Navarrette emphasized that it was "absurd for anyone to invoke the name of Cesar Chavez to pass immigration reform." He stressed, "As I said, were he alive today, it's a safe bet that Chavez would be an opponent of any legislation that gave illegal immigrants even a chance at legal status."
Navarrette wrote that, according to numerous historical accounts, "Chavez ordered union members to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service and report illegal immigrants who were working in the fields so that they could be deported." Keep reading
