Louisiana prison offers ministry degree to inmates
ANGOLA, La. Jerome Derricks says he heard God's call early. He only wishes he'd answered sooner. By the time he did, he was serving a life sentence for murder in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola.
"I ran from my calling all my life," said Derricks, 44. "But I like to put it like this: God finds people wherever they go."
At Angola, God has been finding men regularly. So far about 150 of them have earned Bachelor of Arts degrees from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and another 100 are on track to graduate. Derricks was a member of the first group of graduates, getting his degree in 2005.
"It was an idea that just grew and has kept on growing," said Norris C. Grubbs, the seminary professor that oversees the Angola program. "It's not easy. They're taking the same program our students at the seminary take: 126 hours and the requirements for passing are the same."
Since starting the program at Angola, the Baptist seminary has begun similar ones in the Mississippi and Georgia prisons. Angola and seminary officials believe they are the only full-time, college-accredited programs for ministers in the nation's prisons.
Such programs are not tracked overall in state prisons. Federal prisons have nothing comparable, a spokeswoman said.
There are about 5,200 men at Angola, an 18,000-acre former plantation. About 90 percent of them will die there because of the length of their sentences, and many will be buried in the bleak Point Lookout Cemetery on the grounds. It's the price Louisiana extracts for its most violent crimes, like murder, rape, kidnapping and armed robberies.
For years Angola was the bloodiest prison in the country. In 1951, to protest the brutal conditions, 31 prisoners sliced their Achilles tendons so they couldn't be sent to work.
In 1995 - the year Burl Cain became the warden - there were 799 reported inmate attacks, and another 192 attacks on guards.
"It was bad," Cain said. "We had murders, we had attacks, we had suicides, and it was all because of a lack of hope."
The dire fate of some of the prison's inmates is highlighted by Gerald Bordelon, who was scheduled to be executed Thursday for killing his 12-year-old stepdaughter. The execution would be Louisiana's first since 2002.
Looking for ways to restore hope for men who had little to look forward to, Cain instituted a number of programs and clubs - there are art clubs, a Dale Carnegie self-improvement program, crafts clubs - aimed at helping the prisoners develop skills and interests.
But Cain, a man of strong religious beliefs, believed faith-based programs and what he calls moral rehabilitation were the best answer. When a federal Pell Grant that funded a previous general education program ended, the prison reached out to the Baptist seminary.
At Angola, everyone has a job. For some it's working in the fields or in the prison hospice program. For those enrolled in the seminary, it's going to school.

ASHBURN, VA - JULY 30: Rookie offensive tackle Trent Williams of the Washington Redskins signs autographs for fans following practice on the second day of training camp July 30, 2010 in Ashburn, Virginia. Williams signed his contract with the team early this morning. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
The latest in a long line of Washington Redskins knuckleheads. That was Trent Williams a year ago, after he was suspended for four games by the NFL for testing positive multiple times for marijuana. He was a first-round pick gone bad, fitting right in the tradition of a franchise that's seen far too much off-the-field misbehavior in recent years. But Williams did something a lot of miscreants don't do. He owned up to his mistake, didn't hide in a shell of denial or blame his problems on others. The third-year left tackle did not want to be remembered as a dope-head, and he set his sights on having his name associated with nicer words. Pro Bowl left tackle, for example. ''I bust my butt all offseason with that on my mind, and it fueled my fire a lot of days,'' Williams said. ''And to be able to come out and perform with the best in the league and be noted as a Pro Bowl guy, it'd just mean that all my hard work, it just wasn't (whistling) in the wind. That accolade would just kind...

Editor's Note: Each week we cross-post an excerpt from Katrina vanden Heuvel's column at the WashingtonPost.com. Read the full text of Katrina's column here.
False equivalence in the media—giving equal weight to unsupported or even discredited claims for the sake of appearing impartial—is not unusual. But a major media organization taking meaningful steps to do something about it is.
Earlier this month, the BBC's governing body issued a report assessing the BBC's impartiality in covering scientific topics. When it comes to an issue like climate change, the report concluded, not all viewpoints share the same amount of scientific substance. Giving equal time and weight to a wide range of arguments without regard to their credibility risks creating a "false balance" in the public debate.

This is a lesson for all media on both sides of the Atlantic—and not just when it comes to science coverage. There are many sides to almost every story, but that doesn't mean they are automatically equal.
Unfortunately, too much of the media has become increasingly fixated on finding "balance," even if it means presenting fiction on par with fact. If media outlets wanted to present an accurate account of the climate change "debate," for instance, they would have to follow comedian John Oliver's lead and host a "statistically representative" face-off with three climate change deniers up against ninety-seven scientists armed with proof. Instead, they contort themselves to find "balance," and we're left with segments like "Is the climate change threat exaggerated?"—presented on the always reliable Fox News—which promised to "weigh the evidence on both sides of the divisive topic." It's no wonder that only 60 percent of Americans know that most scientists agree that global warming is occurring—and almost 30 percent aren't sure if there is any scientific consensus.

The Ultimate Problem With The Rubio/McCain Amnesty Plan
Back in 2007, as he ran for the Republican nomination for president, McCain ran into a torrent of opposition in the early caucus and primary states.
GOP voters didn't buy a "comprehensive" solution to illegal immigration. They wanted to see the border secured first. When a politician proposed to grant what critics called "amnesty," and also secure the border at the same time, the skeptics believed the "amnesty" would happen but the security would not.
"What I underestimated was the lack of trust and confidence in government," McCain said in November 2007. "I mean, I said time after time, 'We'll enforce the borders. We'll enforce the borders. Here's X billion dollars to do it. We'll enforce the borders.' They just didn't believe us." — Byron York
I am strongly against amnesty. The most important thing we need to do is enforce our existing laws. We have existing immigration laws that are not being adequately enforced. Nothing will make it harder to enforce the existing laws, if you reward people who broke them. It demoralizes people who are going through the legal process, its a very clear signal of why go through the legal process, if you can accomplish the same thing if you go through the illegal process. And number two, if demoralizes the people enforcing the laws. I am not, and I will never support any effort to grant blanket legalization/amnesty to folks who have entered, stayed in this country illegally. — Marco Rubio
If John McCain shamelessly lied through his teeth about changing his position on illegal immigration to security first — and he did — and Marco Rubio shamelessly lied to conservatives about opposing amnesty in the first place — and he did — then, why in the world would you believe that they're telling the truth when they promise you that if we legalize the status of illegals that are here today, we'll get security later?
Essentially, all they've done is dusted off the McCain/Kennedy amnesty plan and promised to implement the security measures before illegals get full amnesty. Of course, that's not really true because the moment their bill is signed, every illegal in the country today and every one that can sneak in between now and then and procure readily available fake documents will be allowed permanent legal status until they're inevitably given citizenship.
In fact, what McCain/Rubio and the rest of the pro-amnesty crowd won't admit is that they don't want to implement tough security measures first precisely because it will work and drive millions of illegals out of the country. If that happened, then the money — for the big-Ag fatcats who've decided it's more profitable to hire illegals, pass the costs on to the American people and funnel money to corrupt politicians is cheaper than paying American workers what they're worth — would stop.
What it all comes down to is that guys like McCain and Rubio oppose sticking to the laws that are already on the books, but they're promising that if you agree to amnesty, they'll adamantly stick to much tougher laws down the line. Only an idiot would believe a lie that transparent.

Details on Industry Insight.
David founded Split Clothing in 1988 and later introduced the Split Girl line in 1999.
Frank Delgadillo, the founder and president of Ambiguous, recently left the company to start a new brand, Comune.
Below, is some information about the plans for Ambiguous going forward that I pulled from a press release David sent me. That is followed by a Q & A I did with David via email.
The plan
Patri said he plans to re-launch the Ambiguous clothing line for Fall 2009. The company is securing a new building, staff and team riders in Southern California and in Biarritz, France under the name of Life Distribution.
Growing Ambiguous internationally is a key priority.
JF Cahu and Christophe Chabaud will lead the European headquarters of Life Distribution. JF and Christophe headed Split Europe, with JF as President and Christophe leading sales and marketing.
Patri said the Ambiguous team has built a tremendous legacy of creativity in the market. The focus on street culture and art will continue to be an important component of the line. "We want to continue this legacy and create a line that is unique and forward as well as offer solid, consistent sellers," Patri said in the release. "Collaborating with photographers and artists is key to keeping it fresh and on point. I am committed to throwing off the limitations that have been put on the brand in the past."
Currently Ambiguous is still under Rays Apparel in Irvine. As of November, Life Distribution will take over the brand. The new line launch for Fall '09 will be at international trade shows Pool, Agenda for the US and BBB, The Bright, Ispo and Who's Next for Europe in January.
The new Ambiguous will be offering a special artist and photography series of T-shirts called "4A", which stands for "Ambiguous Addicted Artists Association" for Spring/Summer '09 that focus on the creativity and diversity of the brand.
Q & A with David Patri
Is Life Distribution the new owner of Ambiguous? I'm not sure what is the business structure for Ambiguous.
Yes - Life Distribution US and Europe and Rays Manufacturing (not Rays Apparel) own it together as "Life Distribution."
Will Ambiguous have a spring 09 line?
We are offering a special high-end T-shirt line that features artists and photographers from around the world called 4A as mentioned in the press release. We will have some basic tees as well along with some carryover cut and sew pieces. We are hoping we can supply our loyal retailers with enough product to maintain the Ambiguous buildouts and sections. There simply is not enough time for me to react fast enough to get new salesmen out on the road to sell Spring 09. We will be launching Fall 09 with a full line and build momentum from there.
Up until now, were you still involved with Split? Will you be involved with Split going forward?
I still have my interest ownership in Split but have not been involved with the brand directly since 2005.
Will Ray's Apparel be involved with Ambiguous at all?
What attracted you to working with Ambiguous? Will you have an ownership position in the brand?
I have always admired the Ambiguous brand. I feel like the brand has always been "real" with it's approach to design and marketing. We see so much of the "smoke and mirrors" in our industry it is refreshing to see a brand that is honest about who they are and who is the target market. This appeals to me and how I approach branding and design.
I will have an ownership in Life Distribution.

At Public Impact, we devise and advance visionary but practical ideas about how to improve K–12 education. We work with innovative districts to expand the impact of great teachers and leaders; advise policymakers and bring them together with implementers to determine practical solutions; advise foundations on investment and support possibilities in education; help charter management organizations with evaluating and expanding the supply of high-quality charters; and work with child advocacy nonprofits and other reform-oriented leaders on implementing cutting-edge ideas to improve K-12 policy and management. We do the research, deep thinking, and tool creation to help educators, policymakers, and parents make dramatic improvements for all students. We'd like to talk about working with you—contact us!
With an excellent teacher versus an average teacher, students make about an extra half-year of progress every year—closing achievement gaps fast, leaping ahead to become honors students, and surging forward like top international peers. But existing strategies alone will never fill our 3 million classrooms with teachers as good as today's top 25 percent. Schools can fix this by extending the reach of excellent teachers using job redesign and technology. New school models also offer all teachers career opportunities. Advancement allows greater impact on students and more pay—within budget. We call this an Opportunity Culture.
In schools, nothing matters more than the quality of the teachers and leaders. When students have great teachers, they learn dramatically more than they do with less-effective instructors. When schools have great leaders, their students excel, even when they start behind. Yet too often, policies and management practices in K-12 education stand in the way of great teaching and leadership. Our work in this area focuses on policies and approaches to recruiting, selecting, evaluating, developing, compensating, and retaining high-performing teachers and leaders.
Thousands of schools nationwide are failing to educate enough of their students effectively and are missing state and federal performance benchmarks. Many of these schools have failed to provide students with even a basic education for years. To respond to this challenge, education leaders need better tools to turn their schools around. "Turnarounds" are widely used in other sectors to fix failing organizations. Public Impact has surveyed this cross-sector experience to generate resources that help schools, districts, and others implement successful turnarounds.
Charter schools are tuition-free, independently run public schools that operate free from many regulations imposed on district schools. In exchange, charter schools are held accountable for results. If executed well, the charter school sector has enormous potential as illustrated by the growing number of charter schools achieving phenomenal results with disadvantaged students. If executed poorly, chartering can reproduce the same patterns of mediocrity and failure rampant in public education. Public Impact has deep experience informing charter policy, strengthening charter authorizing, and devising strategies to help the sector succeed.

Day 6
After a good nights sleep in Border, UT, we take off westbound with a goal of making it to Battle Mountain, NV. We had just passed the small town of Eli, when off to our left we see...and hear... an old coal powered locomotive train! Whoa..don't see that everyday! We stop to watch the train pass by, and it gives us a couple toots of the steam whistle as it passes by.
We head down the road to the City of Eureka, NV. It is late morning, so we figure we will fuel up and grab some lunch. We sit down at a table in the "Owl Club and Saloon" and look around at the locals that are taking their lunch breaks. We are a bit dirty/dusty and we certainly stand out in this crowd, but we can't help but notice a gentleman behind me. He is seated, but likely stands about 6 5 or 6 6...he is built sturdy and has the weathered face of a rancher that has spent more than a little time in the sun/wind. At a glance, he reminds me of John Wayne. We finish our burgers as we overhear him talking about some past experiences with cattle and the like.
I can't help but stop by his table after a trip to the restroom, and introduce myself. I tell he and his wife that we could not help but notice him seated in what looks like a small chair (its not) with his cowboy hat on. I ask his wife if anyone had ever told him that he looks a bit like John Wayne, both in features and especially in stature, and she replies, "oh yes...we have heard that before". He is a bit hard of hearing, so I am having to talk in a manner that allows most of the other guests in the restaurant to listen to our conversation. They ask us a bit about our trip etc and we give them a bit of background on what we are doing. I politely ask the man if he would allow me to take his photo, as he certainly looked like "Nevada"! He obliged me and we thanked he and his wife for the photo and the conversation.
The town of Eureka was interesting. It has retained alot of its turn of the century charm and still had a few old buildings that are still being used, but certainly date back almost 100 years. I think Jim could have spent the day looking around and checking out the old town. We get back on our bikes...our fuel tanks and belly's full.
We head out of town on Highway 50 and it isnt even 20 minutes later we see a Nevada State Trooper with his emergency lights on, fly past us westbound. We see him up the road, in the distance, pulling over a semi-truck that is going the oppossite direction. We think this is a bit odd, as we see him do this several more times. It isn't long before the Trooper dissapears in the distance. We motor on and after about 40 minutes we see a VERY LARGE Oversize transport hauling a monster dump truck!! Apparently the Trooper had simply been moving vehicle off to the side to allow this gigantic vehicle to pass. It literally needed the entire paved surface of the roadway...and then some, to make it's way down the road.
We got off the pavement shortly thereafter and began our days ride in the dirt. We soon determined that Nevada would be a hot, dusty and in some cases challenging bit of geography. The dirt was sometimes solid and would quickly change to sandy and powdery. These changes would often take place within a few hunderd yards. All in all, Nevada would have a "desolate" feel to it as we rode through open range, ranch roads and dry, hot desert. At 100 degrees, even cruising at 45-50 mph simply felt like someone was fanning hot coals in your direction!
We made our way towards Battle Mountain, NV. We pretty much put our heads down and rode for most of the day. We rode down into an enormous "valley" of sorts...it was a flat area of desert surrounded by scattered mountains. While riding into this wide open area, we found ourselves in the middle of another thunderstorm. We observed a few lightning strikes not far off. We could see clear skies in front of, and behind us...but we were under a several miles long/wide cloud that seemed intent on raining or throwing lightning bolt down upon us. As we pick up our pace to get out from under this sinister cloud, we come upon two wild horses, galloping along the road, apparently with the same thing in mind! We fall in behind the horses at about 15 mph and follow them for a good mile or two. Jim and I both have reached into our pockets and retrieved our cameras at this point, and we are riding one handed as we video the horses. We watch as the horses take to the open range and run off westward, likely a bit spooked by the two idiots following them.
We are happy for the distraction and we continue on. The flour-like consistency of the "sand" that we have been riding today, is strange. When you hit a patch of it, or find yourself entering a long stretch of of it..it behaves almost like water, splashing up at your legs as you run through it. It is less stable than regular sand and is no fun as far as I am concerned. After we pass a bunch of mines and mining operations, we find ourselves fueling up in the tiny town of Crescent Valley. We got off the TAT to get here so we could fuel up the bikes.
We decide to re-route through what should be a very nice valley that will link us back up to the TAT called Corral Canyon. This will prove to be an awesome ride between a few mountains, over some single/double track that winds us in and around some grazing cattle, a zillion rabbits scurrying across the trail and some very nice scenery. The sometimes rocky and twisty trail is a welcome change from the straight,part gravel/part "flour-ish" sand that we have been riding most of the day.
As we are just about to exit the trail that opens up onto some flatter terrain, off to our left we see the TAT trail that meets up with our re-route. Perfect! We ride some more gravel roads as the sun sets. Battle mountain lies ahead several miles and it is just getting dark as we roll into the parking lot of our nightly Motel.
For you Super Sherpa ADV'ers out there...you may have noticed a lack of any Sherpa specific details in most of these ride reports. I actually noticed this too! The biggest reason being...the Super Sherpa just has not given me any trouble, nor much in the way to comment on! I mean this in the best possible sense, as the bike just works. Power? Just fine, other than the lack of oxygen at higher than 6 to 8,000 feet. Dependability? Not so much as a loose bolt! Comfort? Well, other than my butt being a bit uneasy on the seat for ten hours a day, no big deal...and likely much better than some 250cc seats! The Super Sherpa seems to be happy doing whatever I ask of it. The tires (Pirelli MT-21's) are getting worn, as they are much softer than the stock Trailwings, but they perform fantastic. Havent checked the spark plug, because the bike is running fine. Great little adventure bike...just leave your ego at home.
We get some dinner and get back to the Motel to take a look at the next days route. We both agree that tomorrow may seem like Deja Vu, given the similar terrain we will be riding. It is Nevada after all!

text: First time Australian Saddle user, I ride Western. I bought a new/used Australian Saddle by Snowy River to try it out for people tell me australian saddles are great to ride in. The saddle seems to be brand new, maybe used a few times before I got it. I can barely fit 2 fingers tightly under the gullet and when I am in the saddle it is sitting on the withers, which I know is a big no no. The back of the saddle seems very high and lifted, is it suppose to be like that? Also on the EquinePak website I saw the Roma ProTeck Wither Relief Pad - Front Lift and was wondering if that would help fix the problem or not? I just want to know if I placed it correctly on his back or if it is the wrong fit before I decide to sell it or not. Thanks.

Hunter's efforts could trigger reopening of range
Back when he was a student at San Diego State, Congressman Duncan Hunter, R-Lakeside, often shot trap and skeet at the San Diego Shotgun Sports Association on what now is the Marine Corps Air Station.
"It was a great, central place for us and all San Diegans to shoot, a place for veterans and wounded warriors to go shoot, too," Hunter said yesterday.
But in October 2008, the range was closed by the Marine Corps due to environmental concerns. The Marines said too much lead was leaving the range and damaging nearby environmentally sensitive areas.
"This range has been there since 1957," Hunter said.
Hunter has been working with range officials and the military to get the range reopened since the Marines closed it, but thus far he has been unsuccessful. That may change now that Hunter today successfully added an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2010 Defense Authorization Act that outlines funds for the Department of Defense's fiscal year spending.
The House Armed Services Committee today passed the amendment that requires the Marines to complete its environmental assessments by Dec. 31and get the range reopened as soon as possible. Both sides on the committee had to review and agree to Hunter's amendment before it passed today as part of an en bloc package.
"We're not putting anything into law, but this asks the Secretary of the Navy to look at this, get the range open and do the necessary environmental assessments needed to keep it open," Hunter said today. "The people of San Diego have had a longstanding relationship with the military there and to have that relationship cut short is really upsetting."
The Miramar gun range has been open since 1957 and most recently has been operated by the San Diego Shotgun Sports Association. The range has been providing recreational shooting for active duty military and their families in addition to the public. Olympic shooting hopefuls such as Susan Sledge and Brian Burrows practiced at the range because it has the only international trap range in the area. Both have been forced to shoot elsewhere since the range closed.
Robert Keefe, president of the San Diego Shotgun Sports Association, said on the group's Web site that the Marine Corps has an inaccurate interpretation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. He said the Marines also are talking about conducting a multi-million dollar remediation that could cost upwards of $30 million.
Keefe said today that he is encouraged that the range will open soon.
"We've been going back and forth with the Marines since they closed the range in 2008," Keefe said. "This has been a non-stop, daily battle for us. I even went back to Washington and met with Hunter and the Deputy Commandant. I'm cautiously optimistic that the way the language was written in the amendment that we'll get the range reopened. This clearly puts the ball in the Marines' court. And we're hopeful the Marines will take action to reopen the range before that."

Hi there-
I've noticed that if I hide something for Contributors, Minimize does not hide it. I don't know which one is triggering it, but I've disabled it for everything below it, and then it seems to work. (I was hiding the Jetpack and Tools menus.)
Could this be a bug?
Thanks and best wishes,

So here I am on Match again and I am not complaining in the least. I have met some fabulous men through Match and although I am single again, I am better for what my past relationship has taught me about myself. I have come to realize that being completely vulnerable in a relationship is the only way to approach this emotion we call love. Trust me, I know how hard that can be, but it is also the only way to exist in a relationship without regrets. More importantly it's the only way for anyone to get to know and love all of the unique quirks that make you the wonderful person that you are. We all come to Match with baggage from past relationships and expectations of future loves. My challenge that I present to you is to leave some of that baggage at the terminal, move forward and crumple up those lists of expectations. Love comes in all types of packages and even better, when we aren't expecting it. Anyone can lose weight, gain weight, get a raise, lose their job, lose their hair, color their hair...well you get my point. We all have a list of what we are physically and financially looking for, but how is that working out for any one of us? I'm not saying that chemistry/attraction and finances shouldn't be important, in fact I think that initially chemistry will make or break a first date, but I also know that in my past relationship I didn't even really know what he did for a living until after a few weeks of dating. What kept me coming back for more was how I felt when I was with him and I was able to feel that way because I was completely vulnerable for the first time in a long time. Isn't that what we all yearn for ... that feeling?! So I Triple Dog Dare you to take a leap, do the unexpected, crumple up that list of wants and make a three pointer. The list of needs should be so much more important. My list of needs goes something like this: I need to be around happy/positive people. Not all of the time, but if you are adding more stress than happiness, then no matter how much I love you I will have to let you explore your needs elsewhere. I need honesty. I will not lie or cheat and expect the same from the man in my life. I need to laugh. I have been told that I am pretty funny. I'm sure that I can make you laugh and I welcome the chance to make you blush (that's the element of chemistry that I was referring to earlier). I need communication. I'd prefer to hear my man's voice over 100 text messages throughout the day. One of my quirks :) Hearing the emotion that correlates with the verbiage is so important and is becoming lost amongst the younger generations. That's it – that's my list. If all of that is working then the rest will fall into place. I know that you have read a lot already, but if you are still reading then a little bit more of your time will either seal the deal or send you packing. About me: I am a mother of two fabulous children, a natural medicine student and a volunteer at a chiropractic office. My home, school and office are my happy places. School is a little bit stressful, but a needed experience to fulfill my purpose. I love where my life is and wouldn't change a thing, well maybe one thing :). I am sassy and playful on a good day and even more so on a bad day. I am confident and independent, but will always accept help if it is offered (after all a man does like to feel like a man). Working out and eating healthy are a lifestyle that I am committed to. About you: All I ask of you is that your list of needs is similar to mine. Oh, and that you can handle me:) I've been told that I have too much "spunk" and I whole-heartedly agree. Let the adventure begin! I can't wait to meet you!

I am the official "soccer mom" so my weekends will always include a soccer game or two. Throw a basketball or football game in there for good measure.

Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed and European Commissioner for Development Andris Piebalgs on Thursday (June 19th) signed the first European Commission-Somalia National Indicative Programme (NIP) following Somalia's accession to the Cotonou Agreement last year.
In a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister, Ahmed expressed his satisfaction with the agreement.
"Somalia is moving from the old deal to the New Deal," he said. "It is not only the significant amount of predictable resources to New Deal priorities that will make a difference. It is the commitment of Commissioner Piebalgs to empower the federal government and support directly the core state functions through multi-partners funds that is a game changer."
"The EU can play a key role as a lever and catalyst for EU member states to step up support to Somalia to deliver 2016," he said.
EU Special Envoy to Somalia Michele Cervone d'Urso also noted the magnitude of the agreement.
"This is more than a symbolic moment," he said. "The joint signature of the multi-annual indicative programme for Somalia is a response to the New Deal Compact signed in Brussels last year and allows to translate in concrete terms Somalia's accession to the Cotonou Agreement."
The EU will provide Somalia $400 million in the coming years "to rebuild a peaceful and prosperous Somalia", d'Urso said.

1854-D Three Dollar, AU581854-D $3 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. It appears that U.S. Mint and Treasury officials had high hopes for the three dollar gold coin denomination, which made its debut in 1854.
Bright, Top-Notch Example
Mintage of 1,120 Coins
Bright, Top-Notch Example
Mintage of 1,120 Coins
Those hopes faded quickly.
The Philadelphia Mint made an ambitious production of 138,618 coins for the premiere, a record that would go unchallenged through the three-and-a-half decades of the series' subsequent coinage.
In all, four mints, three during the opening year, made the denomination, also including Dahlonega, New Orleans, and San Francisco late to the party, striking its first coins in 1855.
Some numismatists have theorized that the three dollar gold was useful for purchasing 100-stamp sheets of three-cent postage stamps.
The logic of requiring a three dollar coin for such a purpose, as opposed to, say, a quarter eagle and a half dollar, or six half dollars, has always escaped us.
The little Dahlonega Mint in North Georgia even entered the fray in 1854, striking a meager 1,120 pieces of the opening D-mint issue. Dahlonega was a fitting participant, as it (and its sister Charlotte) were accustomed to striking the smaller U.S. gold coins, excluding eagles and double eagles.
The present near-Mint State NGC-graded piece is in the second tier of the Condition Census, as few true Mint State examples survive. The surfaces are bright and satiny greenish-gold with orange overtones. A couple of stray marks are well within the grade context, and the overall eye appeal is top-notch for this high-end rarity. Census: 24 in 58, 9 finer (12/13).

R100GS Nissin 4-piston caliper conversion
View Single Post
Live easy, Brake Hard
Joined: Sep 2006
Location: Houston, Texas
Oddometer: 724
Bigger is better because you have 6 piston envy
Stock 2 piston Brembo = My wife's next husband gets my tools because I'm dead.
4 Piston Brembo = I can lead a normal life and perhaps enjoy a little adventure
6 Piston Tokico= I can press my luck ,possible ruin my retirement plans, enjoy adventure and my wife's next husband get my tools because I'm dead.
The choice is pretty clear.
I have enough parts to go to a dual caliper setup....don't make me do it.
Stop the madness
I didn't change my Master Cylinder. I bought a new one. I was leaving for a 3 or 4 day trip and mine started to leak bad. I was running DOT5 and switched back to DOT4. I like DOT 5 but there is a big difference in the feel of the brake lever and stopping. I think there is a 5-10 % increase in braking.A new MC arrived a few days faster than a kit. I haven't looked at MC /caliper ratio chart to see if I could spend anymore money on my brake tragedy. Has any one gone the 320mm rotor route? Can someone explain what could be expected in better braking? The brake upgrade was just hoot to do with all it's permutations. I enjoy doing the upgrades to my GS. Your GSXR came with incredible brakes, 300 to 400 % more hp, fuel injection and a real charging system...incremental increases are costly and underwhelming. My bike stops on a dime with 3 cents change, has great lights and handles like a finely tuned Greyhound bus...I am a happy crack whore.
If the R90 has dual calipers go the 4 piston Brembo route if you are trying to maintain a stock appearance. You will be pleased. I powdercoated my brembo (don't forget the clearcoat on the raised brembo letters) and it's just beautiful The Japanese caliper is just an excellent alternative. I want to point out that I weigh 230+ with gear.
Stock MC's can be bored out , SS sleave installed and I think bigger piston installed.It allows you to use stock switch gear. I think it's pricey $350+
When my bike stops good enough to warp the rotor...I'll wear a thong.
By the way her thumb is on the brakes..right?

Sun to Acquire MySQL
Sun Microsystems is to acquire database manufacturer MySQL at a purchasing price of around US$ 1 billion according to Sun.
Sun will be paying US$ 800 m in cash for MySQL shares and another US$ 200 m in share options. The transaction is scheduled for completion late in the third or early in the fourth quarter of Sun's fiscal year 2008.
Marten Mickos, MySQL's CEO, will be joining Sun's management team. During the transition period a team of representatives from both companies will be handling the integration of the two companies with respect to technology, products and corporate culture.
Talking on Sun's motivation for the acquisition, Sun's CEO Jonathan Schwartz said: "Today's acquisition reaffirms Sun's position at the center of the global Web economy. Supporting our overall growth plan, acquiring MySQL amplifies our investments in the technologies demanded by those driving extreme growth and efficiency, from Internet media titans to the world's largest traditional enterprises." A forecast by TechIQ late last year indicated excellent growth prospects for MySQL in 2008.

Is there a limit for the bonus experience % that you can get?
Say you equip
- Cain's Laurel, socketed with a Star ruby +25%
- 2 other Cain's set items +30%
- hellfire ring +35%
This will give you 90% bonus experience, is there a limit?
Is there a limit for the bonus experience % that you can get?
Say you equip
This will give you 90% bonus experience, is there a limit?
The theorical max value is currently +1513%:
You can test here http://d3xp.weebly.com/home2.html. With the simulator you can select :
Once its done you have the final value of your +x% XP. Note that both Nephalem Valor's bonus and Number of player's bonus are multiplicative. Note also that you can't have a follower in a multi-player game (Thanks Novarg for pointing that out)
Source : Diablo 3 1.0.7 changelog : Here you can find the new base value of +x% XP depending on the monter power level (MP 1 = +25%, MP10 = +510%)
Quick example on why Nephalem Valor bonus being multiplicative is important :
If it was additive you would have 500% base + 15% (level 1) = 515%, +30% (level 2) =530% etc. Which is really less.
When I play MP10 with 5 stack of Nephalem valor, I always reach ~+1050% XP bonus. This come from Nephalem Valor being multiplicative and not additive. You could even reach more with 4 players.
So about 457% bonus to XP. When the expansion hits, there maybe will be better items with more MF, who knows.

§9 Sarah Patton Boyle
Sarah Patton Boyle was born on May 9, 1906 in Albemarle County, Virginia to Robert Williams, an Episcopal clergyman, and Jane Patton. A cousin to General George S. Patton, she married E. Roger Boyle, a drama professor at the University of Virginia in 1932. By late 1953, Mrs. Boyle had published more than one hundred articles for newspapers, magazines, and religious publications on the issue of integration. In 1962 "Patty" Boyle authored a memoir entitled The Desegregated Heart, which explains her transformation from a traditional white southern aristocratic woman to a civil rights activist. Key to that transformation was the admission of Gregory Swanson, an African American attorney, to the University of Virginia Law School in 1950. Subsequently, she befriended T. J. Sellers, the editor of Charlottesville's black newspaper, The Tribune. So outspoken was Boyle on civil rights that on August 29, 1956, the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on her front yard. She was the first white person to serve on the Charlottesville NAACP chapter's board of directors.
A self-proclaimed "naive idealist," Boyle thought that by discussing the intentions of Jesus and by setting an example, she could encourage southern whites to support racial equality. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail," credited Boyle for explaining the moral importance of faith in the fight for racial justice. In June 1964 Boyle was arrested in St. Augustine, Florida, during a civil rights demonstration at the Monson Motor Lodge. Boyle retired from active participation in the freedom movement in 1967. In 1983 twenty-one years after the publication of her first book, Boyle authored The Desert Blooms: A Personal Adventure in Growing Old Creatively. She died in 1994. On May 8, 2001, the City of Charlottesville honored Boyle for her civil rights work. A bronze plaque with her name was placed on the Drewary Brown Bridge recognizing her as a "bridge builder." Her papers are housed at the University of Virginia.
In this very brief speech before the Calvary Christian Church, Sarah Patton Boyle takes up the "great white southern fear": interracial marriage. An integrated society, she promises, will not lead to increased intermarriage. Why? Experience shows us that, even without segregation of criminals, poor white trash, gangsters, pick-pockets and sex fiends, we don't worry about our daughters marrying the aforementioned deviants. Note that Boyle, like so many white southerners of her day, assumes a very specific gendered relationship—the old canard of black men marrying white women. Experience and commonsense also reveal that integration will not lead to more intermarriages, as observed in the real world example of New York City. Boyle also subtly expands her case for racial integration by arguing that blacks would not seek social equality with whites, nor would they seek to "storm our private lives." The point Boyle drives home, though, is about choice: "And yet to them [blacks] it makes all the difference between manhood and submanhood

newest Version of the GSM Mod for MoW called Fields of Honor 6.2 !! be aware , this version is pretty outdated and work on this version for vanilla MoW...
Is this no longer on the workshop?
Can't find it, really hoping this is a misunderstanding.
it is on the workshop but is invisible for so long, until i've got my patch ready.
if it would be still online i would have to delete another 200 messages containing "pls update ..." so i've taken it offline for so long.
Got it lol, next time this happens I'll pass along my new found knowledge.
When does this get update to a new version? Today morning the game got updated again... do they ever stop? WHy don't they make one big...
the update came in today night, but i was already on my way into bed...
im going to make an upate this evening when im back home and yea, still no changelog for this (120) and the previous version (119) online , so i can only suggest what they have done.
Ok, thanks for the info.
These ******* updated the game again! Right as you get your mod to match their current version. This is the third time this month i ******* had to re download and install this mod because of these ******* devs updating their game once a week. Is there a way to avoid this?
you could use the steam workshop instead, then only a few KB will be downloaded when im updating the mod, here @ moddb i can only update a completely new file.
Im not following you. When I download from the workshop it doesn't even work
Highest Rated (8 agree) 10/10
Great mod, I only wish there was a Brand new singleplayer campaign to go with it :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why am I scheduled for two appointments?
A. If the initial sleep study shows evidence of a breathing disorder associated with sleep (i.e., Sleep Apnea), patients often require a second study in which a special mask (called a CPAP device) will be applied to your nose and/or mouth. During this test, pressurized air is gently delivered while you breathe in order to open your airway and prevent episodes of diminished/absent breathing and snoring. Since our laboratory is very busy, patients often have to wait several weeks for an appointment. By scheduling both appointments at the same time, we can make certain that only a small amount of time elapses between your first and second appointment. This gives the sleep specialist adequate time to review your initial study and send a copy to your physician. It also allows treatment of your problem to be started more quickly. If you do not meet criteria for a CPAP device, your second appointment will be cancelled, and you will be notified.
Q. If I am found to have sleep apnea, what kinds of treatments are available?
A. Depending upon the severity of your sleep disorder, a number of different options are available. Weight loss can help in a few cases. However, non-surgical weight loss is only effective in 5% of cases. Unfortunately, 25% - 30% of sleep apnea patients are NOT overweight. For very mild cases, a specially fitted oral device (oral appliance) can be placed in your mouth while you sleep at night. In some cases surgery may be an option. Unfortunately, some procedures (palatal implants and uvuloplasty) are for snoring only (not sleep apnea) and not covered by insurance. A surgical procedure called UPP can be effective in some cases. The most widely used, effective, and non-surgical treatment is CPAP. In select cases, positional changes while you sleep may be used in conjunction with one of these treatments.
Q. What is CPAP?
A. CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a type of mask attached by tubing to a small machine. CPAP delivers pressurized air gently to your airway while you sleep. The constant pressure serves as a 'splint' to prevent episodes of decreased or absent breathing while you sleep. It also reduces snoring. In some cases, a type of pressurized air called BiPAP may be recommended. This device delivers different pressures when you breathe in than when you breathe out.
Q. Why go to all the trouble of wearing a CPAP machine every night? Why can't you just let me snore?
A. Unfortunately, sleep apnea is not as simple as 'snoring'. In recent years, doctors have become increasingly aware that patients who suffer from untreated sleep apnea are at elevated risk for stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and uncontrolled high blood pressure. There may also be a relationship with diabetes. Patients with sleep apnea often stop breathing entirely hundreds of times per night. Some of these episodes can last for almost a minute or more. When this occurs, the blood oxygen level can fall significantly. The body's response to these spells is to cause the patient to partially arouse many times during the night. This results in chronic sleep deprivation. Consequences include daytime fatigue, poor concentration and memory difficulty, depression, and an increased risk of accidents (motor vehicle and work-related).
Q. Why does it take so long to get the results of my study?
A. A sleep study often lasts from 6 - 8 hours. During this period of time, continuous recordings of your breathing, brain activity, heart rate, movements, oxygen levels, etc. are captured and saved. It is easy to imagine the amount of data this creates. A sleep technician reviews all of this data and scores respiratory events, sleep stages, movements and other sleep events. This information along with the actual study is then reviewed again by a doctor who specializes in sleep disorders and a report is created. This process usually takes 1 - 2 weeks. We want to provide your doctor with the most accurate information possible.
Q. Where and how do I obtain my CPAP equipment?
A. The DME provider you want to use is your choice and there are several in our area. Please consult with your physician if you have any questions and they will be glad to recommend a DME provider that will fit your needs best.
Q. What is an MSLT?
A. An MSLT (multiple sleep latency test) is a test performed the day after a sleep study in which the patient is asked to try to fall asleep multiple times through the day. It is a measure of the tendency to fall asleep. It is a useful way to quantitate patient reports of excessive daytime sleepiness. It can also help with the diagnosis of sleep disorders including narcolepsy.
Q. Why was I asked to stop some of my medications before my sleep study?
A. Some medications can affect the results of a sleep study. Certain antidepressants and sedatives can reduce the quantity of specific types of sleep. This can result in a study that may underestimate the true severity of your sleep disorder. On occasion, the sleep specialist or your doctor may recommend a follow-up study after you have been tapered off of some of your medications for 1 - 2 weeks. This will result in a better study.
Q. How am I supposed to sleep with all of these wires and straps attached to my body?
A. Many of our patients come to the lab with complaints of inability to sleep. We understand that trying to get a good night's sleep is difficult with all of the recording devices attached to your body. We make every effort to ensure that these critical devices do not disrupt your sleep unnecessarily. However, you must understand that these instruments are critical to gathering important data about your sleep patterns. We understand that your sleep may not be as good as when you are in your own bed. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your night more restful.

So, I've gamed since the 80s. I've been there for the large transition from 2d to 3d and thus I've had years to get used to using two sticks, one to control my character and one to control the camera. My fiancee, however, grew up in the Philippines and never gamed before she met me and while she likes to play games like Meatboy, Snes roms and stuff like that, when it comes the the majority of modern 3D games she can't seem to keep it all straight. She is super interested in a lot of them, though, like Alice: Madness Returns and Assassin's Creed.
My question is this: Are there any games anyone can think of that are particularly good at tutorialising the basic camera controls that have become second nature to us? Particularly for 3rd person games. I've tried just leaving her with AC2 and she even couldn't get to the Animus because a lot of those absolute basics are skipped in games these days.
