They bring strong perspectives developed during a lifetime of experiences from coast to coast. Meta Levister and Harry Anderson, instructors in the Department of Business and Professional Studies at Luna Community College, impart their knowledge to students, emphasizing a "can do" attitude.
A Las Vegas man injured in a one-vehicle rollover crash early Monday was arrested on felony DWI and other charges.
Peter M. Aragon, 39, of the 800 block of Washington in Las Vegas, is charged with aggravated driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, careless driving and having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle.
Since Highlands University opened its new recycling drop-off center last November, the campus and Las Vegas community response has been so strong that the bins fill up faster than they can be emptied with existing manpower.
Consequently, the center has new hours — from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and closed on weekends.
Plans are to reopen two weekends a month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., once additional volunteers are on board.
AP and Staff Reports
A Las Vegas man has been charged with robbing a bank in Santa Fe, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in Albuquerque.
Eric Schlenker, 43, appeared before a federal magistrate Friday, accused of robbing a Wells Fargo branch last Saturday and fleeing on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The FBI and Santa Fe police say Schlenker's former girlfriend helped identify him and that led to his arrest Thursday.
Schlenker remained in federal custody pending a detention hearing Tuesday.
An investigation is continuing into charges that a man interfered with Las Vegas Police Department radio communications and threatening officers and their families, according to Chief Christian Montaño.
Estevan Gutierrez of Las Vegas apparently got hold of a police radio and was using it. He was arrested last Wednesday and held on an outstanding arrest warrant while police continued to investigate the incident. Additional charges may be filed after an joint investigation with FCC agents, Montaño said.
The West Las Vegas school district was honored at the Roundhouse on Friday by the Public Education Department because four of its elementary schools were named among the top 20 exemplary schools in the state.
Schools from 12 districts were among the top 20 schools that serve the needs of English language learners.
When the Las Vegas Design Review Board took up the question of whether to approve Allsup's Convenience Stores Inc.'s demolition and construction plan, preservation may have been a central concern, but simple economics was never far from the discussion.
"I love history," board member Mack Crow said at one point in the 4-1/2 hour meeting last week, "but I don't want history to destroy something good, and I think this will be good for the community."
Allsup's Convenience Stores Inc. got the preliminary approval it sought Thursday to proceed with plans to build a fifth convenience store in Las Vegas.
If all goes as planned, the store will replace the now-boarded-up Chevron station at Seventh Street and Grand Avenue — but it will also take out the old Voda building to the north.
Allsup's will use most of that triangular block between Grand, Seventh and Lincoln Avenue to construct what Allsup's calls one of its modern designs.
Of course, nobody wants a health-care professional who is going to faint at the sight of blood, especially if it's your blood. TBut it's not likely, because a fainter isn't likely to make it through the medical training.
Robertson High School's Dream Makers health career club is one of those programs that introduce kids to the medical profession — so they can find out early on if the medical profession is for them.

Namibia's governing party will hold an elective congress at end November to review its policy agenda and choose its top leadership.
The South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) held its first National Policy Conference in September to discuss the way forward on key issues and the documents adopted will form part of the work programme for the congress.
Thirteen policy papers were presented for discussion on issues such as economic growth and income distribution, unemployment and poverty, youth development, delivery of quality healthcare and education, generational transition, and others. Among the priority topics for in-depth discussion was land acquisition and distribution, as well as gender equality.
The secretary-general of the party, Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana said the land scarcity in Namibia has reached alarming proportions and the party cannot afford to postpone a strategic intervention in this regard. "Our people need access to land and nothing less," she said. "At the moment, the Swapo party is mobilising all its intellectual resources towards a reasonable response to this call."
While the policy review and analysis has generated less interest outside the party, a higher public profile has been accorded to the election of the top party leadership.
The incumbent party leader and President of Namibia, Hifikepunye Pohamba, is unopposed for the top party post.
However, since he is serving his second and last term as Namibian president, his election as party leader is not the issue at the congress as he is expected to stand down when his term of office as Namibian president ends in March 2015. He has been President since March 2005.
All eyes are fixed on the position of party vice-president whose winner, according to a succession policy adopted by the SWAPO Central Committee, would automatically be the party candidate in the presidential elections in two years time, in late 2014.
According to the SWAPO constitution, Pohamba can remain party leader after completing his two constitutional terms as State President.
Three candidates have been nominated to contest for the vice-presidency of the party. These are the incumbent party Vice President Hage Geingob, the Secretary General Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, and the Secretary for Information and Mobilization, Jerry Ekandjo.
The three contenders are all seasoned party cadres, having joined SWAPO in the 1960s and 1970s during the country's liberation struggle.
Iivula-Ithana is the first woman to contest this position, and she is the first woman to hold the post of party secretary-general.
She is presently Namibia's Minister of Justice, while Geingob is Minister of Trade and Industry, and Ekandjo is Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development.
The other top party positions to be elected by the congress include the secretary-general and the deputy secretary-general.
In an exclusive interview with the Southern African News Features ahead of the watershed congress, the SWAPO party's Chief Whip in Parliament, Hon. Professor Peter Katjavivi, said the race for the vice-presidency will be a close one.
"It is difficult to make a prediction," he said, adding that he is confident that "whoever wins the elections will be capable of serving the party and people of Namibia."
"We are making good progress in our preparations for the congress, and we are all looking forward to the outcome of the congress."
He said other liberation movements from southern Africa and the rest of the world have been invited to attend the congress scheduled for 29 November to 2 December.
SWAPO has urged losing candidates to accept the decisions of the congress, adding that "when our individual ambitions fail within party structures, we should always learn to say 'next time' and remain under SWAPO party's umbrella, firmly and solidly."
"At stake is the fate of more than 2.3 million Namibians, who will be affected in one way or the other, by the congress decision on this matter. When the congress speaks, we should all listen and hold our hands in unity," SWAPO said in the statement ahead of the congress.
The party added that November is a "defining moment for Namibia."
As such, "it is never easy to swim through succession waves. When leaders change instruments of power, there are always fears to allay, and tough questions to answer."
"But the river must be crossed. We are on the banks of that river now. And cross it we must. Let that be our rendezvous with history, our date with destiny."
At the last general elections held in 2009, SWAPO won by two-thirds majority.
Namibia uses the First-Past-The-Post electoral system for presidential elections, in which the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner, and Proportional Representation (PR) is used for legislative elections.
Under the PR system, each political party submits a list of candidates and then the parties receive seats proportional to their overall share of the national vote. The National Assembly has 72 seats and for a party to have two-thirds majority it needs to secure 48 seats.

The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah begins this evening (Sept. 4), marking the start of the High Holy Days (also called the "days of Awe"). Here are 10 things to know about this 10-day period.
1. Duration: The High Holy Days start with Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish new year, and end 10 days later with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
2. Timing: Rosh Hashanah is always on the first two days of the Jewish month of Tishri. Keep in mind that the Jewish calendar is lunar, so while the holiday is always on Tishri 1-2, the dates shift in the 12-month Gregorian calendar. Usually, the start of Tishri falls in September or October.
3. Significance: Rosh Hashanah is a day of judgment before God – and a time for taking responsibility for actions and reflecting on changes to make moving forward.
4. Traditions: Many people dip an apple in honey for Rosh Hashanah as an expression of hope for a sweet new year. People also bake round challah bread, symbolizing the yearly cycle.
5. A command: Hearing the blowing of the Shofar (an instrument made from a ram's horn) is considered a command on Rosh Hashanah. It signifies waking up to repentance, and it is connected with the Torah reading for the second day of Rosh Hashana – the story of Abraham binding his only son, Isaac, for sacrifice as an act of obedience. (Isaac is spared, and God sends a ram for Abraham to sacrifice instead.)
6. Reflection: The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are part of the process of the time of repentance.
7. A hunger: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement atonement, often involves a 25-hour fast.
8. A sacrifice and scapegoat: The typical reading for Yom Kippur is from Leviticus 16, which details the offerings Aaron is told to bring before God. (Read that portion here.) Part of this involved a scapegoat – a goat sent into the wilderness after the sins of the people were symbolically laid on it.
9. Some pop culture perspective: Last month, a cartoon goat arrived on the Internet – it's the eScapegoat, and it's a lighthearted way for people to think about this time of year. It was designed to be light, but some people are taking it more seriously. (Read a story about the eScapegoat, what it's purpose was and who's actually using it.)
10. Personal importance: In a recent survey, most Jews ranked Yom Kippur as the most important holiday to them personally — but it was more important to older Jews than to younger ones. (You can read a summary of survey findings here.)
A note: In writing, some Jews use G-d when referring to God. We religion journalists are aware of this, and when quoting, that's what we use. But in non-quoted material, for clarity's sake, we use "God." Check out our stylebook for more.

The Tests
We gave the Stopper to Leeds Polytechnic to test on various surfaces and at various angles. These included wet and dry floors, even painted concrete sprinkled with fine sand, using a ladder with wheels attached to the upper end to minimise the friction. After exhaustive tests, Leeds Polytechnic felt able to give the following conclusion.
The Conclusions
How and why does it work?
The ladder is kept in place by friction at it's point of contact, if this friction is overcome by the load on the ladder then it slips with hardly any warning - then it's too late (see above). In normal use of a ladder two very small areas come into contact with the ground and all the weight of the ladder and it's user is concentrated on these two points. This is why the rubber feet of a ladder wear away very quickly. With the Stopper, the weight of the ladder and it's user is spread over a larger area.
Tested on tiled flooring,polished floorings,concrete and wet grass.
STO18 for Trade use is suitable for ladders up to 16 inches (40cms) wide For £42.99
STO 24 for Industrial/Trade use is suitable for ladders up to 22 inches (55cms) wide For £70.99

To: firstname.lastname@example.com
(Here's a reminder about an event this week)
Who: Linux Users Group of Iraq members and supporters
Freedom Technology Center supporters
bookcrossing.com members
People who read
What: Book collection and fundraiser
Where: Freedom Technology Center
Mountain View, California
When: Friday, March 26, 2004.
Books collected 9am - midnight
Pizza 7pm - midnight
Why: "We need all kinds of computer books"
-- Ashraf T. Hasson
founder, Linux Users Group of Iraq
Donate an extra copy of a good computer book to help
Linux and free software education in Iraq. You bring
the books, and we'll ship them! Money donations are
also welcome.
After dropping off your books, stay for pizza and
sample the educational and recreational facilities of
the Freedom Technology Center. We have a Linux-based
training lab as well as video games and pinball.
Linux Center Planned for Baghdad
The LUG of Iraq is establishing a Linux Center in
Baghdad to conduct training in all levels of Linux
usage, administration and development.
Today in Baghdad, up-to-date PC hardware and all kinds
of software are readily available, but computer books
are hard to get. The LUG needs all computer books,
not just the Linux-specific ones.
No Crypto, Please
Most current OS distributions contain some
cryptographic software, so we will be unable to
send them. US export restrictions on shipments to
Iraq are still in effect. We will check, but if
your book includes a distribution CD, please remove
it before donating.
The Freedom Technology Center and bookcrossing.com
will handle the packing and shipping -- just bring
your favorite book.
Hardware is readily available in Baghdad, and since
it does not qualify for book rate postage it's better
for the LUG of Iraq to buy hardware there.
About the Freedom Technology Center
The Freedom Technology Center is a new non-profit IT
training facility located in downtown Mountain View,
California. Upcoming classes include an enterprise
Samba class to be taught by Samba developer John
H. Terpstra and a series of Linux administration
classes to be taught by noted author and consultant
Jim Dennis.

Hundreds of residents of Bulla Muzuri in Garissa yesterday took to the streets to protest lack of water in the settlement.
The residents, who mainly comprised women and children, accused the Garissa Water and Sewerage Company of doing nothing to address their problem.
"For how long will we continue suffering as if there is no government to assist us. We have not had water for three years and yet we keep receiving empty promises. We are tired and all we want is water," Hakima Noor said.
The demonstrators marched to the Gawasco offices where they staged a sit-in. They vowed not to go home until their grievances are addressed.
No official from the firm addressed them. When contacted by the Star, the company's PRO Omar Shurie promised to call.
Yesterday a dispensary in the area did not have water. Nurse in charge Fidelis Karemi said lack of water has made it "extremely difficult for them to work".
"We don't know who to approach to get assistance. Sometimes we end up endangering ourselves, especially when we are helping mothers deliver as there is no water to even wash our hands," she said.
"We have been encouraging patients to get water for their use".Schools in the area have been closed as students help their parents search for water from as far as 5kms.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 11/30/12
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Rex Ryan said Friday that the Jets are ''looking into'' the availability of Tim Tebow, who could be inactive for the team's game Sunday against the Cardinals because of two broken ribs that have limited the backup quarterback the last few weeks. Ryan said that the team has not made a final decision to not play him contrary to an ESPN report. Tebow was injured at Seattle on Nov. 11, played three offensive snaps the following week at St. Louis and was active but didn't play last Thursday against New England. Greg McElroy would be the backup to Mark Sanchez if Tebow can't play. Tebow said he didn't do much during practice all week due to throwing still bothering his ribs. Ryan was criticized last week for keeping Tebow active rather than McElroy.

The Center for Engaged Learning and Teaching (CELT) was formed as a result of Tulane University's 2008 "What's Your Big Idea" initiative and Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) to enhance student learning at Tulane.
Engaged is a type of learning in which students experience themselves not as passive recipients of information delivered by experts, but as active participants both in the classroom and in the world. Through engaged learning, students realize their potential as intellectual, social, and ethical architects capable of designing their own futures, as well as helping to shape those of their communities, cultures, nations, and natural environment.
Tulane recognizes that there is not one type of engaged learning experience. These experiences must meet the unique needs of the students' academic experience, skills, abilities, and goals. CELT' s four primary areas of focus or cores are designed to provide students and faculty with the opportunities to participate in engaged learning experiences that compliment their academic and career goals.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. A new Forrester study on Google Glass might just show that Apple's apparent obsession with the wrist might be a better bet than Google's focus on the face. According to the study of 4,600 adults, 12 percent of us would want to purchase wearable technology, like glasses, on our face. That's almost 22 million Americans. But more than twice as many — 28 percent — are interested in wrist-based wearable devices. That's almost 50 million people. Apple's rumored wearable, of course, is the iWatch. The post-PC wearable computing space is intensely interesting to Apple, chief executive officer Tim Cook said recently. Apple has reportedly been testing 1.5-inch OLED screens for iWatches and has recently filed trademarks for iWatch in Russia and other countries. Bitter global rival Samsung is supposedly working on a wrist-based computing device as well. Above: An iWatch prototypeImage Credit: VeneStudio In a recent interview, Cook said the entire wearable computing space was "ripe for exploration" and as game-changing and revolutionary as the smartphone or the tablet: "I see it as another very key branch of the tree." But while he was excited about wearable devices, Cook wasn't so keen on the face, saying that Google Glass was limiting its potential based on the fact that it is, essentially, head-mounted — and most people don't want to wear glasses. "I wear glasses because I have to — I can't see without them — but I don't know a lot of people that wear them that don't have to," Cook said. "People who do wear them generally want them to be light, unobtrusive, probably want them to reflect their fashion, their style … from a mainstream point of view this [pointing at his head] is difficult." The Forrester result syncs with an April study by ChangeWave, which said that a full one-fifth of U.S. consumers were interested in buying an Apple iWatch — sight unseen. And it fits with a recent trend toward personal fitness monitors such as Jawbone's Up, the Fitbit, and Nike FuelBand — all of which are worn on the wrist. But the wrist doesn't come without some complications. Above: Google GlassImage Credit: Devindra Hardawar / VentureBeat "I bought the Pebble wristwatch on Kickstarter," a founder recently told me. "But I stopped wearing it because all the alerts and notifications caused me to look down at my wrist too often, and people I was meeting with or talking to thought I was being rude." Interestingly, even more people — 29 percent — are interested in wearable computing devices that are clipped onto their clothing. Startups like OMsignal in Montreal are embedding sensors right into your clothing to monitor your health, your exercise, and even your mood. Whatever Apple has up its sleeve, the company better drop it down into the open and onto its wrist fairly soon. Google has said Glass will be commercially available this year, and Apple won't want to let Google get a head start on penetrating the market. Unless, of course, we all cyborg ourselves and start wearing iWatches, Glass, FuelBands, and sensors in our clothing to boot. Image credits: Forrester VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Aston One-77: on track
Posted: 28 May 2012
The One-77 has a myriad of highly creative engineering touches. Engine air travels from the air filter box to each side of the engine through the carbon-fibre chassis, inside an upper member of the front body structure. And Porritt draws me a diagram to show how air for cooling the alternator, aircon and brakes, passes through three separate channels within the chassis. And those evil-looking intakes on either side of the nose aren't just for show - they feed the engine its air, and have the further effect of stabilising air running down the side of the car. And that's just one aspect of the aero model, which runs right back to the deployable rear wing and the shuttering on the rear radiators. And we haven't even mentioned the car's double-wishbone suspension and how that works with the carbon-ceramic brakes and everything else. 'Complex' doesn't really cover it.

Brett Favre is again proving why he is the ultimate American hero, this time with a chainsaw. Does he need to out in the woods cleaning up his hometown? Does he need to be getting his hands dirty after making roughly $100 million in his career? No. What you see here is the old gunslinger doing his part to clean up his battered hometown of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Yesterday he was taking care of business in a Bobcat. Now? He's looking like a boss dicing up trees with the chainsaw. Why all the manual labor for Favre? Well aside from it being his hometown, when he saw his place of employment, Oak Grove High School, in shambles he must've been driven to action. Either that, or @bradc509 is on to something with this tweet: [h/t Kissing Suzy Kolber, via @MrYoYoSmith] Filed under: Football, NFL

RYAN Cairns is expected to lead several top Sunshine Tour professionals when they take part in the Royal Harare Summer Golf Day this Friday. Cairns, who is the leading Zimbabwean on the Sunshine Tour order of merit, will give every participant an opportunity to play with him on the par three hole number five.
Cairns won his first professional event on the Big Easy Tour, the Sunshine Tour's developmental programme, in March. He also won the Vodacom Origins of Golf at Simola Golf and Country Estate on May 11.
This tournament is part of the Sunshine Tour. He secured the victory in a playoff where he beat Vaugh Groenewald after chipping in for an eagle.
Louise Ward, an official at Royal Harare, said they were looking forward to a great day on Friday.
"This year our summer golf day will be graced by Zimbabwe Sunshine Tour winning champion Ryan Cairns and several other surprises of the day.
"The teams of four will cost US$160 while an individual will pay US$40," Ward said. Cairns is expected to take part in the South African Open and the Alfred Dunhill Championships where big names like Charl Schwartzel, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els and Luis Ooistuhusein are expected to take part.

The idea that languages evolved to adapt to children's limited cognitive abilities may make sense if the only language you are familiar with is English (18 January, p 30). English has virtually no inflections, and is extremely easy to learn informally. But the same cannot be said for other languages.
Czech, for example, has seven cases, three genders and various different forms of declension for each of these alternatives. To use a simple preposition such as "in", a Czech speaker needs to know what case this preposition takes, the gender and declension of both the noun and adjective it refers to, and the ending that these both take, given all these variables. None of this is intuitive, logical or necessary.
It is not clear how any of this survived the need to be learned by children, nor that it has evolved to be simple. You report Morten Christiansen's argument ...

The Deathwing is the elite 1st Company of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter. While most other Chapters allow their 1st Company squads to take to the field in a variety of configurations as befits the tactical situation, the entire 1st Company of the Dark Angels Chapter consists of dedicated squads of Terminator Armour-clad veterans. This specialty formation is also found amongst those Space Marine Chapters who are Successors of the original Ist Legion, which are collectively known as the Unforgiven. The Deathwing's mission takes precedence over all others, even though they may be called upon to fight a wide range of foes. Members of the Deathwing are indoctrinated into the outermost tiers of the Unforgiven's Inner Circle, and party to the some of the terrible secrets surrounding the existence and nature of the Fallen. Some members of the Deathwing may know the identity of those they fight, while others are unaware they were once loyal Dark Angels, but all members of the Dark Angels 1st Company, and indeed the 1st Company of every Unforgiven Chapter, know that the Fallen are the vilest of heretics and must be persecuted above all others.
The Veteran warriors of the Dark Angels Chapter serve in the 1st Company, which is known as the Deathwing. The Veteran Astartes of this company are arrayed in Terminator Armour or Power Armour as battlefield requirements dictate. However, the Dark Angels are unusual in that they maintain an entire company that is only ever fielded as Terminator Squads. Following the Horus Heresy, when the Space Marine Legions were divided into Chapters, as dictated in the newly authored Codex Astartes by the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman, the Legion's Terminator Armour-equipped Assault Company was divided into several units each composed of 100 Astartes and assigned to a Successor Chapter formed from the original Legion.
When a Dark Angel or other Unforgiven Space Marine receives the coveted promotion to the Deathwing Company, he learns the secret truth of the Chapter and its Successors. The Dark Angels Primarch Lion El'Jonson was betrayed at the end of the Horus Heresy by his second-in-command Luther, who slew the Lion in single combat on the Dark Angels' lost homeworld of Caliban before he and those other Dark Angels who had been corrupted by Chaos were transported into the Warp by the will of the Ruinous Powers. These Traitor Marines are known today as the Fallen Angels, and the Dark Angels and all of their Unforgiven kin are sworn to bring every one of the Fallen to repentance or death before they can receive the Emperor's forgiveness.
The 1st Company of the Dark Angels is led by Belial, the current Master of the Deathwing Company. Following a spectacular victory at the world of Piscina IV during the Third War for Armageddon in 999.M41, Belial assumed the mantle of Grand Master of the Deathwing after the violent death of his predecessor aboard the Space Hulk Charnel Shrine. Shortly thereafter, Belial was elected to serve as the Grand Master of the Dark Angels' 1st Company through the unanimous assent of the Masters and Grand Masters of the Chapter. He swiftly earned the approval of the Chapter's Supreme Grand Master himself, as well as the admiration and unswerving loyalty of those under his command.
Deathwing and the Deathwatch
On a few, extremely rare occasions, a member of the Deathwing of the Dark Angels or one of their Successor Chapters takes the Apocryphon Oath and joins the Long Watch, serving with the elite Deathwatch, the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos. In doing so, he sets aside his role as executioner of the Inner Circle, but not entirely, for the Unforgiven never tire in the hunt for the Fallen. The Deathwing Battle-Brother's oaths to the Inner Circle rarely interfere with his duties to the Deathwatch. In undertaking the Long Watch he is honouring the purpose for which his very Chapter was created—guarding the Imperium from its enemies. However, there may be times when the Battle-Brother receives a sealed, keyed astropathic transmission, or a message is passed to him from another Battle-Brother of the same Chapter. There may be some task he is expected to undertake, or some enemy he must engage even while his Kill-team's mission is undertaken. It takes great skill on the part of the Deathwing Battle-Brother to ensure his responsibilities do not clash, for were that to happen, the Deathwatch's entire mission within their assigned sector of the galaxy would be undermined.
Battle-Brothers of the Deathwing are renowned for always taking to the field in their bone-white Terminator Armour. However, the nature of the Deathwatch's vigil influences the tactics and choices of even the most tradition-bound of Astartes, and many Deathwing who have taken the Apocryphon Oath have chosen to set aside their Terminator Armour when its effect upon the mission would be more detrimental than advantageous. These Battle-Brothers honour the traditions of the Deathwing by taking the bone heraldry and broken sword emblem of their company upon the right shoulder of their Power Armour in place of the Dark Angels' Chapter badge. A Deathwing Battle-Brother must choose to wear either his Terminator Armour or his Power Armour at the start of a mission, and cannot change that choice at any point during the mission.
Company Organisation
The Deathwing is composed entirely of Veteran Space Marines who serve as the Chapter's Terminators. They are tasked with a mission that takes precedence over all others, even though they may be called upon to fight a wide range of foes. The Deathwing are responsible for crushing all foes of the Unforgiven, and there are no greater enemies than the Fallen. Like the 2nd Company of the Dark Angels and other Unforgiven Chapters, which is known as the Ravenwing and concentrates on mobile warfare using Bike Squads and Land Speeders, the Deathwing does not comply with the organisation of Space Marine Chapters as outlined by the Codex Astartes, though all of the other companies in Unforgiven Chapters generally do so.
Deathwing Terminator Squads
The bulk of the 1st Company is composed of Terminator Squads, indefatigable warriors who blast apart their enemies with Storm Bolters whilst advancing into melee assault range. Deathwing Terminators feature a mix of weaponry, for both long-ranged and close combat oriented roles. Terminators typically begin engagements aboard an orbiting starship, teleporting to the battlefield at a prearranged time, often homing in on a signal from ranging Ravenwing units. By the time foes see the flash signifying the arrival of the Deathwing's Terminators, it is already too late. The Deathwing appear in a blazing hail of gunfire, as if they had begun firing while en route. They live up to their name, arriving like a sword stroke to deliver the deathblow.
Deathwing Command Squad
The highest-ranking members of the Inner Circle are sometimes accompanied by a Command Squad from the 1st Company. Such a hand-picked formation of the most veteran Deathwing Terminators makes a formidable unit, ideal for a bodyguard or to be assigned special duties by a Librarian or Interrogator-Chaplain. They can be equipped for any role and often include specialists such as Standard Bearers, Apothecaries or even the 1st Company Champion. Belial, the Grand Master of the Deathwing, has personally led many a Command Squad straight into the heart of battle, forging a breach in enemy lines and crushing opposing leaders.
Deathwing Knights
A Deathwing Knight is a fell-handed warrior of the Dark Angels, a member of the elite 1st Company whose glorious deeds on the field of battle are matched only by his unflinching devotion to the Chapter. Deathwing Knights are a truly imposing sight, for in them lives on some semblance of the Lion himself. They embody silent strength and a veiled, yet still palpable nobility. In the stratified Chapter organisation of the Dark Angels and the other Unforgiven, the Deathwing Knights represent the elite -- only the Masters and Grand Masters of the Chapter rank higher, and they are only chosen from among the company of the Deathwing Knights, who are also members of the Chapter's Inner Circle. None but the most fell-handed of warriors from the 1st Company are promoted into the Inner Circle of the Deathwing, and displaying skill in battle is not enough to receive the honour of knighthood. A warrior must be wholly dedicated to the Chapter, and must display an obsessive need to carry on the Chapter's secret crusade to hunt down the remaining Fallen.
When a member of the Deathwing is deemed worthy of the honour, he is brought into the Chamber of Judgments in The Rock to face a series of challenges, each of which has been individualised to test the candidate's strength, resolve and loyalty to the Chapter past any breaking point he may possess. Should the Astartes prevail in these tests, the warrior is granted the title of Knight and passes beneath the shadowed arch at the heart of the Chamber of Judgment. The Watchers in the Dark present to him a Mace of Absolution and a Storm Shield -- both priceless heirlooms from the time of the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium, with powers beyond even the potency of the Astartes who will bear them. In battle, the Deathwing Knights are used as a heavy shock force -- they teleport into the fight with Storm Shields locked. With incoming fire ricocheting off them, the Knights march forward to assault the greatest threat with impunity, first slamming into the foe with their Storm Shields before laying into them with their Power Maces and Flails. In the presence of a Heretic, the Knights of the Deathwing power up their ancient weapons to deliver a killing blow of earth-shattering force. The most skilled and veteran of Deathwing Knights are known as Knight Masters. They wield an even more potent ancient Power Weapon known as a Flail of the Unforgiven.
Deathwing Vehicles and Wargear
The most revered Land Raiders and Dreadnoughts in the Dark Angels and other Unforgiven Chapters' armouries are those who serve in the 1st Company. The hulls of these vehicles are painted bone white and the signs and markings of the Deathwing are laid upon them. These bone-coloured behemoths bestride the battlefield, bringing death to the foe.
Venerable Dreadnoughts
Some of the longest-serving Dreadnoughts are piloted by Dark Angels who served with the 1st Company and they still bear the bone white armour of the Deathwing. These Venerable Dreadnoughts have borne witness to the Chapter's secret hunt and members of the Inner Circle still seek their advice. It is difficult to rouse the eldest of these ancient cyborgs, and many legends slumber in The Rock's Halls of Silence, powered down between actions and awoken only in dire need.
Deathwing Weapons
- Mace of Absolution - Bespiked, glowing with power and emanating an eerie mist from their vents, these ominous weapons are employed by the Deathwing Knights in their endless hunt for the Fallen. In the presence of the most accursed heretics, their power is amplified to awe-inspiring magnitude.
- Flail of the Unforgiven - The leaders of the Deathwing Knights eschew the maces of their fellows in favour of brutal flails. These archaic weapons are carried as a badge of office, and are a reminder to all the Fallen of their ultimate fate at the hands of the Dark Angels.
- Halberd of Caliban - The Company Champion of the Deathwing traditionally carries this massive Power Weapon, reforged from a Blade of Caliban shattered in battle long ago, and incorporating the same grim technologies that power the weapons of the Deathwing Knights.
Deathwing Relics
- Foe-Smiter - This ornate Storm Bolter was wrought by Fedorovich the Great, amongst the foremost weaponsmiths of Mars during the age when the Tech-priests joined with the Emperor's forces to equip his armies for the Great Crusade. It was he who forged so many of the master-crafted weapons still prized by the Imperium today, but even then, the weapon known as Foe-Smiter was considered special. It was presented with honour to the I Legion of the Space Marines, where it was used to great effect by Brother Bartholomew -- the first Grand Master of the Deathwing. To this day, Foe-Smiter can still lay down a cavalcade of fire, and is highly prized by the Dark Angels and by the current Grand Master of the Deathwing, who always wields it.
- The Sword of Silence - In times of need, Grand Master Belial wields the famous master-crafted Power Sword known as the Sword of Silence. This sword is one of a triumvirate of legendary swords collectively known as the Heavenfall Blades. These formidable weapons are only carried by the highest-ranking members of the Inner Circle of the Dark Angels. The Chapter's lore states that these blades were forged from the core of a meteorite that struck The Rock in orbit around the Feral World of Al Baradad. The mightiest of these blades is the Sword of Secrets, carried by the Supreme Grand Master of the Chapter, and the current wielder of that sword is Azrael. The blades wielded by the Grand Master of the Deathwing and the Grand Master of the Ravenwing also utilise small amounts of the obsidian taken from that meteorite in their working. It is also said that a small portion of this meteoric substance was dispatched to each of the Dark Angels' Successor Chapters, so that the senior members of the Unforgiven's own Inner Circles would also bear the same heritage forged in steel as those borne by the Masters of the Dark Angels.
Company Combat Doctrine
The Dark Angels are known for their stoic and intractable manner, unflinching against even the mightiest of foes. The Deathwing are paragons of stoicism, unwilling to take even a single step away from the enemy when battle is joined, their prowess honed across countless battlefields so that they can weather any attack. The Deathwing favour rapid teleport attacks, appearing literally from nowhere (often collaborating with the more mobile Ravenwing squadrons on reconaissance missions to ensure the precision of their teleportation coordinates) to deliver overwhelming force against an unprepared enemy. Teleportation is the easiest way to strike from nowhere in Terminator Armour, but other methods work as effectively for a veteran of countless wars. Once the Ravenwing has located the enemy, the Deathwing are deployed to destroy them so utterly that not a single trace remains. In the case of the Fallen Angels, the Deathwing cast down all of their works and grind them to dust beneath their Ceramite boots, so that none may ever know of the stain cast upon the Unforgiven's honour by their very existence. The fortunate are destroyed in the unstoppable maelstrom that is a Deathwing assault; the unfortunate are dragged away to the dungeons of The Rock, to suffer the attentions of the Interrogator-Chaplains and to confess their sins in the vain hope of a merciful end.
Company Appearance
Company Badge
The Deathwing company badge is a variant of the ancient icon of The Order, the knightly order of Caliban that served as a precursor to the Dark Angels Legion. It is a down-turned broken blade on a red roundel, which symbolises the schism within the Dark Angels Legion that occurred due to Luther's uprising on Caliban during the closing days of the Horus Heresy.
Company Colours
Prior to the Horus Heresy, during the Great Crusade, the Power Armour of the Dark Angels Legion was coloured jet-black. After the Heresy, the bulk of the Chapter began to appear in dark green armour, whilst the 1st and 2nd Companies' panoply remained jet-black in honour of the original Legion colours. The Deathwing Company's Astartes later painted their Terminator Armour in a bone-white colour scheme to remember the lone squad of Dark Angel Terminators who defended a Dark Angels recruitment planet known as Plain's World from a Tyranid Genestealer invasion. These Terminators painted their armour white, the colour of death, as they believed that they would never survive the confrontation. Surprisingly, these Terminators proved successful in reclaiming the world and in doing so saved a crucial part of the Dark Angels' cultural heritage and the genetic diversity of the Chapter. Amongst the Unforgiven Chapters, only the Dark Angels' Deathwing Company Terminators actually continue this tradition. The Deathwing are both the most stubborn and most resilient of the Astartes of the Dark Angels and Unforgiven Chapters, and will often refuse to leave a battlefield even in the face of overwhelming odds, citing the tradition of the Terminators who saved the Dark Angels' recruitment world.
Space Hulk Expansion
Deathwing is also the name of the first expansion produced for the Games Workshop PC game Space Hulk. The expansion is named after the Dark Angels' Deathwing Company. It features rules for solo play of Space Hulk.

We are excited to premier our Summer Collection. We searched the depths of Downtown Los Angeles to handpick a variety of vintage prints and other premium ingredients. We have new versions of some of our classics and for the first time we are offering a selection of 5 Panel Camp Caps.
Another first is the option to preorder the hats through our webstore. Since we use a lot of deadstock materials, we are often limited to 100-200 pieces per hat and they almost always sell out. A lot of you requested this option and we will be offering 24 pieces per style for preorder to ship 5/23.
This is the SEVEN SEAS II. It is the new version of one of your favorites from last year, but we flipped the material to give it a faded vintage look.
The AUGUSTA II. We have received a ton of emails about last season's Augusta. This version is a little more tonal and printed on linen, but we carried over the dull gold details for that Country Club vibe.
The FIVE-OH. Vintage Palm Print Linen upper with corduroy brim and button. Less than 120 made.
OLIVE ME, born from another roll found buried under some of the most hideous floral prints out there. I love that the colorway and print are both military and tropical. Unfortunately only about 120 of these made as well.
G'MORNIN BAGHDAD – there are palm trees in the desert too. Vintage printed canvas upper, micro cord brim and button.
This is the REVERSE snap back. Voluptuous cowgirls, cacti & classic western elements.
OLD MAN N THE SEA "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day."
The newest colorway of our corduroy FROTHIN' snapback. Cone Selvedge Denim in the patch. The last three have sold out quickly.
You've been asking for 2 years… The RADIANT II has been reborn in faded nylon with a puff print.
CRAP EYEWEAR x AMPAL. We grew up on the beach with the gents @ Crap. What was going to be our first colab ever, was finally perfected for this summer. More info coming soon.
BROTHERS MARSHALL x AMPAL – Chad and Trace are two legends in the making, bringing some flare into the otherwise eggy and dull LA surf world. Vintage surf print with a french terry brim and button. More info coming soon.
We know the strong profile of the snapback can be too much for some people so we are proud to introduce our 5 panel camp hats. They have a lower profile and we kept them light weight for summer and packability.
7 SEAS – we are stoked to launch the new colorway of the 7 Seas print in the camp hat.
The KIND OF BLUE is probably my favorite of the camp hats. Vintage woven tapa upper with a washed denim brim.
OLD MAN N THE SEA – "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."
G'MORNIN BAGHDAD – Palm trees have historically been symbols of victory, peace and fertility…
Please enjoy.

One of the cooler things on display at EICMA this year was BMWs S1000RR engine cutaway. The cutaway showcases everything from airbox to exhaust, and if you look really closely you can spot the unicorns secret responsible for BMW's 193 claimed crank horsepower. More pictures for the engineering minded after the jump.
The 2010 Honda VFR1200F is the most advanced motorcycle ever to come out of Honda's factory, and is probably one of the most innovative motorcycles ever. A large portion of the technology that separates the VFR from the rest of the pack is the all new V4 power-plant that Honda engineers say is a trickle down product from their MotoGP racing efforts. Features and photos after the jump.
Motor manufacturer and tuner, Ilmor Engineering, has branched out from its Indy Car, Formula One, NASCAR, and MotoGP duties, and produced what they call a five-stroke motor. With dual camshafts and an asymetrical three-cylinder configuration, the Ilmor is more than intriguing with its design, and promises to bring real benefits both to the race track, and to road-use. Most notably is a 10% increased fuel efficiency, and 20% weight reduction in power-plant weight.
While not exactly "street bike" news, we thought the A&R readership would find this latest press release from KTM interesting nonetheless.
KTM owners of current SX, XC, XC-W, and EXC model dirt bikes can now have their motorcycles tuned by KTM factory technicians to the exact same specifications as the KTM factory supported race bikes.
At Jerez this weekend, the Permanent Bureau (FIM & Dorna) was light on the details when it announced that Honda would be the sole motor provider for the new Moto2 series. However after the announcement, Shuhei Nakamoto, VP of HRC, revealed more information about the engine that will be used in Moto2.
A lot of talk has gone on about who will be providing the single spec motor to the new Moto2 series. First, it was rumored that Kawasaki was promised the deal, as a part of their condition to stay on in MotoGP. Then the Grand Prix Commission opened up the contract to bidding from third-parties, which seemed to run-counter to the previous rumor, so there was a new rumor that the announcement was merely a formality. While that seemed a little ludicrous, it didn't take long for the rumormill to start saying that the winning bid had been chosen, and was from either Honda or Yamaha (read, not Kawasaki). And now, all this talk can finally be put to rest as the GP Commission has announced that Honda will provide the motors for the Moto2 season, which is slated to start in 2010, and replace the 250cc GP class.
There's a rumor going around that Harley-Davidson is working on a water-cooled, four cylinder, v-twin motor with a displacement somewhere between 1,300cc and 1,600cc. The good, the bad, and the ugly after the jump.
It has been confirmed, 2010 will see the debut of the Moto2 racing class, which will replace the 250cc GP. Moto2 comes about in an effort to make racing more affordable by having a second racing class that is more analogous to the bikes being built for the road, namely the middleweight 600cc segment. The Grand Prix Commission in its announcement has also revealed that Moto2 will have a single engine design, meaning all competitors will be running the same spec motor, the manufacturer of which has yet to be appointed.
The Grand Prix Commission has announced a slew of new rules for MotoGP, supposedly aimed at cutting costs in MotoGP, and thus allowing the manufacturers and teams to compete despite the world's economic situation.
The new measures include the following:
- Race weekends will be rescheduled with Friday's practice dropped completely, and Saturday's sessions shortend.
- From the Czech GP onward, a maximum of 5 engines can be used in 8 races. No changing of parts will be permitted except daily maintenance.
- Only 2 post race tests will be allowed at the Catalunya and Czech GP's for development purposes, and only using test riders will be permitted.
- Ceramic composite materials are not permitted for brake discs or pads.
- Electronic controlled suspension is not permitted.
- Launch control systems are not permitted.
By now you are well aware of the cost cutting measures that are on the table for MotoGP next season. It looks increasingly likely that practice and testing days will be reduced this year, along with more drastic measures, which include engines that must last for at least two races, and allow riders to have only one race bike instead of two.

Senator Government rivals Joe the Plumber for top billing.
Joe takes on Diane Sawyer. (Taken to its logical extreme, he's arguing against a progressive tax scheme, but everything is a matter of degree.)
It is not very surprising that Obama's team has no coherent explanation for its claim to cut taxes on 95% of Americans — what is surprising is that no one asked Barack Obama a detailed question about it in any of the debates.
John McCain was right–the D.C. schools chief favors vouchers and charter schools.
Should "bubbe and zeyde" tell their pro-Obama grandkids to buzz off? One columnist suggests that it comes down to whether they think "talk" in international relations and the Middle East specifically will be a "universal solvent" and that "most conflicts can be solved by sitting people down around a conference table to air their grievances."
One observer worries not about Barack Obama's associations, but about his truthfulness. ("I did not have a substantive relationship with that Weatherman, Mr. Ayers.") Funny, if it weren't so troubling. (Try substituting "abortion clinic bomber" for "Weatherman" and think how the issue might resonate.)
The GOP's fate now rests in the paws of oversized rodents–well, almost.
Why won't Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel testify under oath? The Republican House Minority Leader wants to know.
ACORN — with the efficiency of Michael ("heck of a job, Brownie") Brown's FEMA and the honesty of Bill Clinton. Hopefully, not a peek at the type of associates who might populate an Obama presidency.
Michael Gerson thinks McCain was doomed by the financial meltdown. Others think "It wasn't the economic crisis that automatically hurt McCain, but his bumbling, pathetic, mercurial, scapegoat-seeking response to it." The truth in these things rest somewhere in between–in this case the race might have been closer and conservatives certainly less cranky had the response been sharper.
Obama wants to play "nicey-nice with Islamic militants"? So says this independent ad, which reminds you of the good old days when Hillary Clinton was making a lot of sense. That look of abject frustration on her face seems sort of familiar, doesn't it?
This election has gone on too long when Whoopi Goldberg sounds saner than most pundits.
Of all the petty things to whine about, the RNC complains about the eighteen minute World Series delay so Obama's 30-minute infomercial can air. Better question is: why McCain didn't think of this?
You think by now every Obama surrogate would know the answer to the "What has he done on a bipartisan basis?" There is something to say in response–isn't there?
It is not just that Chris Matthews is in the tank for the Democrats, or that he is running for office himself, it is that he's a lousy newsman: how can you interview Rahm Emanuel and not ask about Tim Mahoney?

"What the Girl Wore" featured on Poetry Daily
I'm pretty thrilled that my poem "What the Girl Wore" was published recently in the Fall 2014 issue of Shenandoah, a wonderful magazine with a rich and long literary history. It's an important poem to me. I think of it as a companion piece to my lyric "Why I Mother You the Way I Do" (from my collection Seed Across Snow from Red Hen Press). Both poems are rooted in my teenage years when three girls I'd known were killed when I was seventeen. Two were sisters hit by a car while trying to run across the road in front of my high school after the dismissal bell and then a few months later the kid sister of a friend of mine was murdered. I've always suspected trying to understand these inexplicable tragedies is what spurred me on to be a writer. I just heard that Poetry Daily will feature "What the Girl Wore" on October 22, a wonderful honor for a poem that was rejected about a dozen times before RT Smith took it for Shenandoah.
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Thanks to RT Smith, editor of Shenandoah, for publishing my poem "What the Girl Wore," which is included in my book of poems Blue Etiquette coming out from Red Hen Press. It's an important poem to me and I'm grateful that it's getting its little moment.

|Katerina Stoykova-Klemer, Host of Accents
"The mission of the show is to promote the arts—local, national and international alike," so who knows what we'll talk about? Katerina is kindly translating some of my new graveyard poems--just in time for Halloween--into Bulgarian! That's amazing. We'll also talk about teaching poetry, I bet. We both have new writing classes beginning this fall at The Carnegie Center (see my post below). And maybe my newest fascination with pairing visual art or animation with poetry. But, really, I never what wonderful direction our conversations are going to go in, so I look forward to it and hope some you will catch if not our program then some of the podcasts from other Accents.

Heart Like a Wheel . . . Teaching a Master Class at The Carnegie Center, Lexington, KY
With Kathleen Driskell. If you've been writing poems for a while and want to take your poetry to the next level, this is the class for you. Our efforts will focus on identifying the structural "heart" (or engine, if you like) of each poem you workshop; once the heart has been identified, we'll then focus our discussion on structural elements that might be revised in your work so that movement, sound, figurative language, and the sense of each poem work together . . .

Charlie Schulman and Michael Roberts Riff on Collaboration at the Spalding MFA Residency in Louisville
MFA faculty member in screenwriting and playwriting Charlie Schulman joins his writing partner Michael Roberts to give a presentation at the Spalding MFA residency May 2014 to talk about their collaboration on the musicals The Fartiste and The Goldstein Variations, wildly different projects--one is uproarious, one is serious and mysterious--but both are musicals with poignant books and song. This duo had Spalding MFA students and faculty laughing and crying all within one meaningful and unforgettable hour. What amazing curriculum!

On my way to Alabama: April 19-20
My thanks to Lindsay Hodgens and the Alabama Writers' Forum for the great review of Peck and Pock: A Graphic Poem: http://www.writersforum.org/news_and_reviews/review_archives.html/article/2013/04/04/peck-and-pock-a-graphic-poem
I'll be in Montgomery April 19: as part of the Alabama Book Festival's program, I'll be teaching a class for Alabama writing teachers at Troy University. Then on April 20, I'm I'm looking forward to sitting on a panel where I'll discuss Peck and Pock: A Graphic Poem alongside with Lila Quintero Weaver who will talk about her own beautiful graphic memoir DARKROOM: A MEMOIR IN BLACK AND WHITE. Here's Lila's bio from the Alabama Book Festival website. Hope to see some friends in Montgomery!

Words and Art: A Collaboration
I was lucky to be able to talk about collaborating with illustrator AJ Reinhart on my newest publication Peck and Pock: A Graphic Poem at Spalding's MFA Residency last month, but we were just two of seven panelists talking about the collaborations between artists and writers. Printmaker Mary Lou Hess discussed her collaborations with two other writers on the panel: Mary Lou and Dianne Aprile created The Eye Is Not Enough, a hand-letter press book that includes a beautiful long essay by Dianne with accompanying original full-color prints by Mary Lou; she also provided prints for current Kentucky Poet Laureate Maureen Morehead's A Sense of Time Left. Both of those books were printed at Larkspur Press, the hand-letter press of Gray Zeitz in Monterey, Kentucky. I don't know a writer in Kentucky who wouldn't jump at the chance to have Gray publish a book. If you don't know about Gray's work, next time you are in a Kentucky bookstore, ask someone to point you in the direction of Gray's books. It's a pleasure to hold any of his books in your hands.
After 911, writer Richard Goodman used his bike to get through many of the blocked streets around the collapsed Trade Center towers and The Bicycle Diaries, a record of his witness right after the attack, was published to mark the tenth year memoriam. Richard collaborated with renown artist Gaylord Shanilac on the beautiful book, which features remarkable engravings of New York by Gaylord.
Here are some photos of that event. Thanks to my colleague fiction writer Jody Lisberger for taking and sending them.

Mixed reactions trailed the 22 draw the Super Eagles played with Liberia the Lone Stars in Monrovia on Saturday in the qualifying round of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Some Super Eagles fans hailed the 2-2 draw, while some felt that the Eagles should not have conceded the last minute goal which helped the host to force them to a two-all draw.
The Liberians scored in the early minutes of the first half before Nigeria's Nosa Igiebor leveled out scores and went ahead to establish a 2-1 lead.
Christian Chukwu, a former Green Eagles Captain said that the 2-2 draw was a plus for the Eagles.
"The result was not bad, we have chances ahead of the Lone Stars of Liberia".
Chukwu expressed optimism that the Eagles would qualify for the 2013 AFCON. He said that things would be put in order during the return leg.
But Coach Henry Nwosu, a former Super Eagles captain, said that he was disappointed that the team conceded a late goal after leading 2-1.
"I am not happy at our constant lack of concentration at the dying minutes of matches. However, the boys did well and should be commended, in spite of the draw," he said.
Nwosu stressed that he would expect an outright victory during the second leg on home soil.
Oyekale Oladunni, the coach of Crown FC of Ogbomosho, said he was disappointed at the result, even though he knew it was not an easy match.
"It was never going to be easy to defeat a team at home. It wasn't a bad result," he said.
He advised that the players should not be disappointed as they would have a chance during the return leg, to ensure victory for the country.
From Abakaliki, Hillary Obiesie, Secretary to Ebonyi Sports Council, said that the Liberians made life uncomfortable for the Eagles.
"The team was given a substandard hotel on arrival in Liberia, which it rejected, booed all round by the Liberian fans, denied the use of floodlights to train at the country's stadium.
"Considering the fact that the team arrived in Monrovia a day to the encounter, all these factors contributed in unsettling the team," he said.
He advised the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to ensure that the nation's teams travel in good time, so as to get used to home team's antics.
Desmond Ome, Secretary to Ebonyi Football Association, commended the team for the draw game "as there are no longer minnows in international soccer.
"The era when bigger teams maul perceived smaller teams are over, as several countries have improved in their playing standard".
Chief Linus Nwonu, Coordinator, Ikwo East Development Centre in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi, advised Coach Stephen Keshi to fortify his defence before the crucial return leg in October.
Mrs Stella Uguru, a civil servant, urged relevant soccer authorities and fans not to put undue pressure on the team during the return leg, to avoid costly mistakes.

THURSDAY - January 13, 2011
GREENVILLE - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court yesterday Senior United States District Judge Malcolm J. Howard sentenced DONALD BARNARD NEAL, JR., 27, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, to 120 months' imprisonment followed by three years supervised release.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on June 16, 2010. On October 4, 2010, NEAL pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to the investigation, on March 9, 2010, NEAL engaged in a verbal altercation with a female employee at a night club in Fayetteville. Later that night, NEAL noticed the same female employee, along a second female night club employee, at a nearby convenience store. NEAL continued a verbal assault on the two employees and when they drove away from the convenience store, NEAL pursued them in his vehicle. During the chase, NEAL fired eight times at the victims with a Sig Sauer, Model 229, 9mm handgun. The victims contacted 9-1-1 and police officers responded to the scene.
Officers quickly located NEAL's vehicle and attempted to perform a traffic stop. Refusing to comply, a chase ensued. NEAL finally stopped, after a five-mile chase, and was taken into custody. A search of his vehicle revealed the loaded firearm with several spent shell casings.
NEAL's previous felony convictions include two counts of possession of a stolen motor vehicle; possession with intent to manufacture, sell, and deliver marijuana; first degree burglary; and uttering a forged instrument.
"The sentence handed down by the Court is the statutory maximum sentence allowed," commented Mr. Holding. "The defendant's behavior and others who endanger the citizens of our communities with such serious conduct will not be tolerated. We will continue to seek rigorous sentencings in such cases."
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods(PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Fayetteville Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Ethan Ontjes represented the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

What do websites look like when they were created with Joomla?
This question can't be answered easily as most websites are based on the Joomla! software, but the design of the website is created by an agency and then "transformed" into a Joomla! template. Therefore, the exterior of a website can be deceiving. Nevertheless, here are some screenshots to give you an idea.

These websites look how websites are supposed to look. :-)
If I had not told you that they were created with Joomla!, you probably would not have noticed it consciously.
How to find Joomla! Pages?
I will show a few ways to find websites made with Joomla!.
Just have a look at the project site! I found the sites featured above in the Joomla! Showcase. You will find 2,000 websites sorted by category. There is a site of the month, an overview with top-rated sites, and much more.
Figure 7: Joomla! Showcase
You can search for the term com_content. The component "content" uses this term in the URL of the page. Nowadays, this kind of searching is not really effective because of the various search engine optimized URLs' but the result is still impressive.
Check out the website more closely
If you are on a website and want to know whether it was created with Joomla!, have a look at the source code. In the header section, you should find this line:
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! - Open Source Content Management" />
You can also just type the URL of the link to the administration area:
Here the example of Guggenheim: http://www.guggenheim.org/administrator/

Jim RossJames William Ross
- Birthdate: 01/03/1952 (age 63)
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 250 Ib
Jim Ross is an American professional wrestling ...
I was at the reveal for 2K and then went over to the JW Marriot to grab some food. When I was at the bar getting food, Ric Flair arrived with a friend. Throughout the entire time he was there, he had wine but wasn't drunk. Throughout the time Ric was at the bar, Stephanie McMahon, John Laurinitis, Dean Malenko and Michael PS Hayes came down to say hello, and all were in good spirits. The bit Flair did with Damian Sandow at the 2K reveal was fun and Ric left without incident.
As noted, Ross denies he was drunk but something seems "off". Near the end of the video, Ross can be heard cussing while trying to cover for Flair. You can clearly tell from the video that Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan and Steve Austin are very uncomfortable. Paul Heyman and Mick Foley also appear to be uncomfortable but "play along".
UPDATE: Ric Flair has some serious heat with management over his conduct at the WWE 2K14 "30 Years of WrestleMania" panel. According to sources, TV executive Lisa Lee was at the event and shot video of it on her camera before notifying WWE management that Flair seemed to be drunk. WWE Executives Jane Geddes and Mark Carrano were summoned to remove Flair from the stage while it was ongoing.
WWE officials are very angry at Flair, who has been in talks to be the company's goodwill ambassador. Stephanie McMahon had to personally show up at the event and apologize to 2K Sports on behalf of WWE.
ORIGINAL Just to recap, WWE had a panel discussion for the WWE 2K14 "30 Years of WrestleMania" roster reveal consisting of Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, Mick Foley, Paul Heyman, Steve Austin and Ric Flair with Jim Ross hosting. JR was deeply sardonic in his witticisms and things got incredibly...honest. Among the highlights were Ric Flair going off on story tangents at the end, noting while discussing his WrestleMania VIII match that everyone else involved is gone and more. Jim Ross quipped at a couple of points that the event was "sponsored by Grey Goose," the vodka and toward the end Heyman stands up, walks over and rips up Ross' script because things have gone so far into left field.
WWE management was very displeased over how things went. You can watch the full video (which is 75 minutes as opposed to the 53 minute "official" one) below. Meanwhile, Jim Ross posted the following to Twitter:
"@dono6971: @JRsBBQ Some on-line sites are posting that you and Ric Flair were drunk.
Complete lie. I was not drunk. Ridiculous
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) August 18, 2013
Seriously, you need to watch this video below, especially near the end ....
