President Obama believes that no veteran should have to fight for a job at home after they fight for our nation overseas. On November 21st, the President signed The Vow to Hire Heroes Act of 2011, a law that combines provisions of the veterans' tax credits from the President's American Jobs Act , Chairman Murray's Hiring Heroes Act and Chairman Miller's Veterans' Opportunity to Work Act into a comprehensive package that will aggressively attack the unacceptably high rate of veteran's unemployment. The Obama Administration has also created resources to help veterans translate their military skills for the civilian workforce, built new online tools to aid their search for jobs, and partnered with the Chamber of Commerce and the private sector to make it easier to connect our veterans with companies that want to hire them:
Employers looking to hire veterans
The Veterans Job Bank connects unemployed veterans to job openings with companies that want to hire them. The Obama Administration partnered with leading job search companies to create a new, easy to use online service that enables employers to "tag" job postings for veterans. It launched with more than 500,000 job listings, a number that will continue growing as more companies tag the job postings on their own websites and add them to the Veterans Job Bank.
Employers looking to hire veterans
Veterans Recruiting Services connects employers and veterans through virtual career fairs. VRS offers services to assist veterans and their spouses as they transition to the civilian workforce, and helps employers find the right highly qualified, educated and well-trained veterans for their businesses.
My Next Move for Veterans is an easy-to-use online tool created by the Department of Labor that allows veterans to enter information about their experience and skills in the field, and match it with civilian careers that put that experience to use. The site also includes information about salaries, apprenticeships, and other related education and training programs.
VetSuccess.gov provides comprehensive transition and employment resources for veterans, service members, and their families. VetSuccess.gov serves as a virtual employment resource center where veterans can browse job listings, post resumes and apply for positions online. VetSuccess.gov also provides links to over 8 million jobs on the VetCentral site.

ST. LOUIS Not good enough. The St. Louis Blues' effort after the first period Saturday wasn't good enough to beat the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. It wasn't good enough to please coach Ken Hitchcock, and it wasn't good enough for them to leave Scottrade Center thinking they hold a major advantage at home. Yes, the Blues lost 3-1 and found themselves with a 1-0 series deficit for the second time in these playoffs because the Kings were sharper both with their play and mental approach. Above all, the highest remaining seed in the Western Conference lost because it grew complacent. A team capable of winning the Stanley Cup doesn't give up a shorthanded goal early in the second period to defenseman Matt Greene, a mistake that proved to be the decisive score. A team capable of winning the Stanley Cup doesn't experience a lapse in intensity after a strong start, so much so that Hitchcock said his players "deferred" to a group that upset the Pre...

AS ONE door closes, another opens. Carbon nuggets found in meteorites from Mars are not, after all, ancient alien microbes. But they do show that Mars has chemically active carbon, which would form an ideal nutrient source for life.
Andrew Steele and colleagues at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC examined samples from 11 Martian meteorites using a method that determines the rock's chemistry without destroying its structure. They found that the carbon nuggets formed when the rock cooled from magma (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1220715).
Co-author Francis McCubbin, also at the Carnegie Institution, says the result is actually good news for astrobiologists. "The presence of [reactive] carbon near the Martian surface provides a potential nutrient source for putative life," he says.

The first major rewrite of the diagnostic guide used by the nation's psychiatrists is approved.
CHICAGO — The now familiar term "Asperger disorder" is being dropped. "Dyslexia" and other learning disorders remain.
The revisions come in the first major rewrite in nearly 20 years of the diagnostic guide used by the nation's psychiatrists. Changes were approved Saturday.
Full details of all the revisions will come in May when the American Psychiatric Association's new diagnostic manual is published, but the impact will be huge, affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. The manual also is important for the insurance industry in deciding what treatment to pay for, and it helps schools decide how to allot special-education resources.
The changes were approved Saturday in suburban Washington, D.C., by the psychiatric association's board of trustees.

Most Read Stories
The aim of the revision is to ensure that affected children and adults are more accurately diagnosed so they can get the most appropriate treatment, said Dr. David Kupfer. He chaired the task force in charge of revising the manual.
One of the most hotly argued changes was how to define the ranges of autism. Some advocates opposed the idea of dropping the specific diagnosis for Asperger disorder. Some Asperger families opposed any change, fearing their children would lose a diagnosis and no longer be eligible for special services.
But the revision will not affect their education services, experts say. The new manual adds the term "autism spectrum disorder," which already is used by many experts. Asperger disorder will be dropped and incorporated under that umbrella diagnosis.
The new manual also will have a broader learning-disorder category to cover several conditions including dyslexia, which causes difficulty understanding letters and recognizing written words.
Group leaders said specifics won't be disclosed until the manual is published, but they confirmed some changes, including:
• A new diagnosis for severe recurrent temper tantrums: disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, or DMDD.
• Eliminating "gender identity disorder" and replacing it with "gender dysphoria," which means emotional distress over one's gender.

"Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt With Nazis"
Wed, September 15, 2010 • 7:00 PM • The Alamo Ritz Downtown 320 E. 6th Street, Austin
Film screening followed by Q&A with Director Gaylen Ross
This is the most remarkable story of Rezso Kasztner, known as the Jewish Schindler, who negotiated face to face with Adolf Eichmann to get a rescue train of 1700 Jews from Hungary to Switzerland during the worst of the deportations to Auschwitz. Called "the Kasztner Train," the group was held for ransom in the concentration camp Bergen Belsen, until they were all finally released in December to safety — among them Zionists, Rabbis, scholars, and orphans. Yet Kasztner was condemned as a traitor in his adopted country of Israel; accused as a collaborator in a trial and verdict that divided a nation and forever stamped him as the "man who sold his soul to the devil." The judgment was later overturned by the Israeli Supreme Court but not before Kasztner was assassinated in Tel Aviv by Jewish extremists in 1957.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and played to sold out audiences throughout Israel. Most recently it had a remarkable seven week run in New York, with critical acclaim in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Diego, and received the Award for Best Documentary Feature Film at the Boston Jewish Film Festival.

The State of Manziel
So the long awaited pro day workout for Johnny Manziel will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. in College Station, on the Texas A&M campus. It will be a scripted 50- to 60-pass workout designed and run by Manziel's personal quarterback coach, George Whitfield. Manziel will have four familiar receivers: college mates Mike Evans (himself a likely first-round pick), Travis Labhart, Ben Malena and Derel Walker. Because of the wide disparity of opinions around the NFL (including those among opinion-swayers in the media) about Manziel, this is probably the single most important workout any player will have before the May draft.
Manziel returned to Texas on Thursday. He'll gather with Whitfield and the receivers and go through two or three dry runs of the script between now and late Wednesday, so when Thursday comes Manziel will know exactly what's coming—as if he doesn't already.
"It's going to come down a cold, isolated execution of a workout the NFL wants to see," said Whitfield.
Whitfield's goal for Manziel's pro day is to have him take a snap from center and drop back as though he's been doing it for years, even though he was mostly a shotgun quarterback for his seven high school and college seasons. Usually, a workout shows NFL scouts and coaches what a player is going to have to do in the NFL, but it isn't always that way.
Two years ago, Andrew Luck went to great pains to show teams at his pro day that he was more mobile than he was perceived to be. Similarly, Manziel will throw more than half of his attempts from the pocket, because anyone who's watched tape of him understands how good he is at improvising and throwing on the run.
But no matter how good a day Manziel has on Thursday, with no defenders on the field, there still will be questions about his ability to operate in an NFL pocket until he proves himself against a pass rush. Most often in college, Manziel took off instead of taking a quick read of the defense and firing an accurate throw from the pocket when faced with pressure. "For better or worse," said the NFL Network's Mike Mayock on Friday, "what he needs to show the NFL, he can't show in shorts and a T-shirt, and he won't be able to show until training camp. I'm guessing the throws he needs to make from the pocket he'll make on Thursday. People will want to see his arm strength and his accuracy from the pocket."
We're really in a fascinating time, 45 days out from the first day of the draft. We've gone from feeling it's a sure thing that the top three quarterbacks—Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Manziel—are locks to be picked in the top eight to wondering if one or more of them could plummet to late in the first round, or out of it. Bridgewater's workout was surprising last week because the ball didn't come out of his hand with the kind of velocity NFL teams hoped to see. Bortles did well in his workout, but his deep balls weren't accurate. Manziel goes third, in front of some skeptical NFL coaches and scouts, with a drumbeat of negativity growing louder in the backdrop. Last week, respected ESPN tapehead Merril Hoge said Manziel "has absolutely no instinct or feel for pocket awareness. When traffic comes around him, he runs, and that's dangerous in the NFL."
Mayock seems wary as well, but he's also open to the seductive powers of Manziel's playmaking ability, a trait that few quarterbacks on any level can match. "I'm a big believer in playmakers," Mayock said. "Last year, I didn't know how good Russell Wilson would be—and [in 2012] I didn't know where he'd be drafted. But I did know he was like a basketball player in the gym, and when you're picking teams, you want him on your team because you know your team will be winning all day and never have to leave the floor. It's the same with Johnny."
So now it's up to Manziel to see where he fits in this draft, with so many teams at the top of the draft needing a passer, and so many that are unsure if they can trust the confident 5-11 7/8 kid with the keys to their franchise. And it's up to Whitfield to orchestrate the show on Thursday.
"We are where we set out to be," Whitfield told me over the weekend. "For a quarterback who took the majority of his snaps in high school from the shotgun and the majority of his snaps in college from the shotgun, he had a lot of work to do. But now five- and seven-step drops are routine for him. He can drop with his eyes closed, on grass, on turf, at full speed, at slow speed. He's got it down. I feel the responsibility is owed to those evaluating you, to answer the perceptions people have for him. That is job one Thursday.
"This day is very important for Johnny. With him, you've got people saying he's purely an improviser and has no business playing on Sundays. In this workout, he can go verify or validate a skill set he'll need in the NFL. That's important. I think he's done a good job of increasing his power throwing the football. He knows at the next level he has to be able to contest the game's best corner on the perimeter. And he is going to have throw competitive balls in the middle of the field."
It'll be must-see TV on Thursday, Manziel from the pocket.

Someone Smarter Than Me Must Explain This
Blaine Gabbert was traded on March 11 from the Jags to the 49ers for a sixth-round pick.
Matt Schaub was traded on Friday from Houston to Oakland for a sixth-round pick.
Their career stat lines:
|Comp. %
|Approx. Pick*
|Matt Schaub
|Blaine Gabbert
I'd be worried about Schaub, a lot, because last season it looked like he had Steve Sax disease—it appeared he was aiming many of his throws, and his decision-making was way off compared to his history. But the stunner in this comparison is not really the sixth-round pick the Texans got for a quarterback who hit a wall so smashingly in 2013. It's that Jacksonville GM David Caldwell got anything at all for Gabbert. Lucky for him, San Francisco sees something in Gabbert that GM Trent Baalke thinks his coaching staff can salvage.

Jim Kelly Has a Lot of Friends in Buffalo
That might be the most understated line of the year. "I've never met anyone in life who cuts a wider swath across racial, social, age and gender lines than Jim," Kelly's friend and former Bills teammate Steve Tasker said over the weekend. "The support group he has right now, including people who weren't born until 10 years after Jim retired, is absolutely unbelievable. He's beloved in Buffalo."
Kelly, 54, is fighting a recurrence of the cancer that struck his jaw in 2013, a cancer he thought he'd beaten after part of his upper jaw was removed. His wife and two daughters have been blogging and posting photos to Instagram and Twitter and urging friends and strangers alike to pray for Jim. "The cancer's back, aggressive, and starting to spread," his wife, Jill, blogged. On Friday, the student body of a Buffalo elementary school lined up in the shape of a heart to send its love to Kelly. Also on Friday, three Bills' Hall of Famers—Bruce Smith, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas—gathered at Kelly's house to lift his spirits.
Tasker has also visited Kelly. They worked together doing a weekly football talk show last fall, and Kelly told Tasker he was cancer-free. But earlier this month, Kelly acknowledged it was back, and apparently it's taking a heavier toll than the first fight last year.
"This is not a common cold," Tasker said. "He is loaded for another fight, and he is going to fight it hard. I don't want to give the impression that this is catastrophic because it's not. But it's going to be a tough fight. Jim knows that."
On Sunday night, older daughter Erin Kelly Instagrammed a photo of her and her dad walking down the hall at the Buffalo hospital where he's being treated for the cancer. She wrote: "So thankful that he was up for a little walk today!!! God is good!!!! And He HEALS!!! #prayersforjk"
"Everybody in the area grows up a Bills fan," Tasker said. "The Bills become a part of your clan. Right now, Jim's got the prayers of an entire region being said for him."
Answer to your travel question - many people are inconsiderate rule-avoiding morons. Unfortunately they also fly with their selfish attitudes.
A servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong. While traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the "top of the pyramid," servant leadership is different. The servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.
Grand Budapest Hotel may be Wes Anderson's masterpiece. Must see if you're a fan of his work. It definitely reached the level of The Royal Tannenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Peter, whatever you were trying to express with your comment about the press coverage of L'Wren Scott's death, you botched it. Time to apologize.
I read the story about the Remy's what an awful group of people. Kids who are violent, abusive, and unremorseful, and parents who enabled the behavior for decades.
Just bad people.
How can Raiders fans stand it? Add Schaub and forgo drafting a potential franchise QB in round 1. Guaranteeing .500 football at best for the next few years. It's hard to believe that this team's front office is trying to create a winner. Did T.Pryor have what it takes to grow into a really good QB? We'll never know. How frustrating it must be, to be a part of this organization.
Peter I still can't get over the 50 year pass you gave the recently deceased owner of the Detriot Lions he owned the team for 50 years never one nothing and never a bad word from you. Al Davis you ripped him apart weekly was it because he was a republican ?
I don't like this ref replay thing, I know it's football but after watching college BB the last 2 weeks where the last 2 minutes take 20-30 minutes to play, I'm tired of these refs getting to much face time and killing the momentum, that college replay needs to be change to 1 challenge per coach in last 2 minutes, and I can see the refs prancing and posing in the NFL when this or that replay goes 5 minutes or longer AND IT WILL...ONE challenge per team per half, keep replay booth for last 2, I like watching but with this thing now itching closer and closer to 4 hours... and that's too much
You gotta feel for @DHoyt77. He actually follows Roddy White's Twitter feed.
Mr. King;
In your article you appear to suggest the sixth-round picks offered for both Schaub and Gabbert by the Raiders and Niners respectively make the deals somehow comparable. And you imply that, although both deals are questionable, the Niners' deal makes the least sense. Your argument as made is not supportable by the information provided.
1. Gabbert's cap hit is 2 million; Schaub's is 11 million. Gabbert is a farm implement--Schaub is the farm.
2. Gabbert is replacing an unproductive player (McCoy) with a similar cap number and it is anyway hoped he will not see the field in a regular season or playoff game. It's unlikely they will keep him past his current contract.
3 Schaub's numbers are better, but he played for a much better team (excluding 2013-14).
4. Gabbert is eight years younger (only 24) than Schaub (32).
5. I don't imagine a sixth-round pick would even make the Niners team and anyway they have a boatload of picks, most of whom will also be lucky to make the team.
6. Gabbert's a fixer-upper. If he's able to prove himself (increasing his value) the Niners could possible get more in trade than they gave for him.
The Raiders are playing go-big-or-go-home with their gamble on Schaub. With any luck, it won't matter who's holding Kaep's clipboard.
How are these deals in any way comparable?
like Rodney implied I am inspired that some people able to make $4363 in 4 weeks on the computer . visit their website
The NFL is not exempt from the nepotism seen in any other corporate hiring environment. Just goes to show that in life it truly is more of WHO you know than WHAT you know that gets you through the front door.
If you REALLY want to improve the officiating in the NFL, make the refs full-time employees like every other sports league in the country. What kind of message are you sending people you want to buy your product when the men charged with maintaining order within that product have to find work elsewhere? It tells ME, "Go ahead and pay $100 a ticket to watch our game, even though we think so little of it we'll hire the guy who changed your tires Wednesday to officiate our games once a week for four months."
For all the money flowing into the NFL, the way they approach their referees is no different than some Class C high school league in Montana.
Merril Hoge, QB evaluator? Really, Peter? What possibly qualifies an ex-fullback who seems to have taken far too many hits to evaluate Manziel? We're not talking about Jim Harbaugh, or even Peyton Manning. Or Archie Manning. Steve Young. I don't much like Phil Simms or his half-assed opinions (those of us in the Bay Area still remember him trashing Andrew Luck's arm strength quite clearly two years ago, a point no doubt Phil would like everyone to have forgotten almost immediately.)
And god knows we're not talking about Bill Walsh here and his uncanny sense of any QB prospect.
Merril Hoge?
I have no idea if Manziel will be Russell Wilson or Doug Flutie (of course Flutie was NOT a NFL success, in spite of the east coast nostalgia), but I do know that every year the overwhelming number of NFL Draft "experts" (including Mayock & Kuiper) are wrong, and then they try to distance themselves from every stupid opinion ASAP.
The draft is mostly a crapshoot, with those rare souls like Walsh who are more often right.... But then Walsh picked a number of #1 busts for the 49ers (Earl Cooper, Jim Stuckey, Todd Shell, Terrence Flager, Keith DeLong, Dexter Carter…).
Humility is the way to approach any draft, like so many other things of life. Think Greek, Peter--it might do you a world of good.
And ignore Merril Hoge on QBs at all cost.
Grand Budapest hotel? Go. This from film buff and director.
Zone 4 goes up to block Zone 5 which has been standing there since they got to the gate.
Peter King, I'd like to hear your thoughts/comments on Mark Cuban's assertion that the NFL will implode in the next ten years due to its greed.
How about demanding equal enforcement of the rules regardless of what team is playing. The distortion of calls/non calls from one game/team to the next was so obvious it makes it look like there is criminal manipulation going on. Maybe there is, sure looks like it.
You can't help but notice all these stories about what a great group of guys the referees are. Just one of the gang, you know. Hoping that we will forget that their performance is subpar and has been getting worse for years. Another way, it seems, the NFL is losing credibility. If the league isn't careful we will start comparing them to FIFA.
Sounds like a lot of this "push to talk" stuff is to hide the fact that a guy 40 yards away is the one making the garbage PI call.
Jeff Triplette needs to be fired. He is incompetent throughout the entire season. How many game changing mistakes is he allowed?
This: << Because of the wide disparity of opinions around the NFL (including those among opinion-swayers in the media) about Manziel, this is probably the single most important workout any player will have before the May draft. >>
"Opinion-swayers in the media?" You're kidding, right? I can hear it now in an NFL war room between life-long coaches, expert scouts and veteran talent evauators: "Hey, are we taking Manziel or not?" "I'm not sure... I just read that Peter King (or Chris Berman or Mel Kiper) doesn't like him. We don't dare."
Puffed-up ego much? Guys who know more about football GOSSIP than actual TALENT now claiming to be influential enough to affect the picks a team makes sounds absolutely ludicrous to me. I can think of hundreds of examples where "the media" just loved a player who turned out to be a bust and then just crapped all over a guy for some oddball reason and the player turns himself into a starter or a star. If Peter King or his buddies in the media actually believe that a couple of paragraphs in a column about a particular player are going to supersede what a team's brain trust is going to do, then this is conclusive proof that there is, indeed, such a thing as LSD flashbacks.
@BigBlueJuju Just one more example of his narcissistic arrogance.
@BigBlueJuju Agreed. Unkind and unnecessary.
I hope they do. Raiders fans deserve better. But it won't happen.
@DanSteelersFan, who says they plan on foregoing a quarterback in the first round. They could just be taking a flyer to Schaub and use him as a mentor to the next quarterback they draft.
@Raiderforlife Al Davis was a Republican?
Trust me, that's not why people have ripped him.
@Raiderforlife Ford was simply the owner, not the Owner/Manager like Davis or Jerry Jones - 2 examples of meddling owners who ruined their teams. Ford also ran a business that provided millions of jobs and was dedicated to the Michigan area. Of course it has to be because he might be a Republican - typical pea-brained conservative hysterical rant.
@Raiderforlife, probably because Ford was a class act and Al Davis was a headache to the NFL.
@gary7 It seems like after every play near the end of the game they have to reset the clock. OK, I get it, but why does it take 5 minutes?
@fortyfukingniners A farm implement... like some sort of hoe?
@fortyfukingniners Peter was just bashing the Raiders where have you been living under a rock
@LenoreJEller DIE LOSER SPAMMER!
@FerdBerfel Full-time employees for, what, at most 25 days of work in a given calendar year? That would certainly be generous.
@FerdBerfel That would take some guys, good officials, out of college basketball. One is Gene Steratore, one of the top guys in D-1.
@DavidHarte I agree about Merril Hoge. He seems to have an opinion about everything and none of it positive. Hasn't he had his "15 minutes of fame" already? Can we move on to the next washed up NFLer now?
@DavidHarte You correct Merril Hoge is a dope and Peter King is an even bigger one
@MatthiasGiese 100 % agreed. Great movie.
@pk_sea A democrat never bad mouths another democrat, crickets crickets
@benseattle The media controls the message, and by proxy, in some instances, the draft stock of players. Many front office types don't like to rock the boat. If the media is dogging a particular player who is supposed to be a high draft pick, I believe some GM's would shy away from drafting that player based upon the amount of head they'd take from others in the organization and the fanbase. I'm not saying they should take it into account, I agree they should not. But I think some of them certainly do.
@benseattle But even the players buy into some of it. When Michael Crabtree was holding out on the 49ers before his rookie season he based his worth on how high Mel Kiper had rated him before the draft. That a receiver from U. of Maryland was drafted ahead of him, cost Crabtree a lot of money.
@DanSteelersFan It's the city of Oakland that deserves better-- better than the Raiders. As a Steeler fan, you must appreciate that Art Rooney built an organization that made Pittsburgh proud. Al Davis (and now his family) have mainly just used Oakland and Alameda County (and their taxpayers). After extorting hundreds of millions in Stadium improvements (while paying ridiculously low rent) from a community that really can't afford it, they are again casting their greedy eyes upon greener pastures. Los Angeles Raiders: it's got a nice sound to it.
@Fifilo @fortyfukingniners Wish I had thought of that.
@Raiderforlife @fortyfukingniners You Raiders fans are just so classy.
@Raiderforlife @fortyfukingniners I don't think he was bashing anyone. Jus trying to understand how someone like Gabbert receives the same draft pick compensation as someone like Schaub. All of Forty's points are valid though.
@Raiderforlife @DavidHarte And yet you read his article
@Raiderforlife @pk_sea The simpler explanation is that PK thinks Cuban's accusations don't deserve any attention.
@Raiderforlife Are you just mad that the Raiders are terrible?
@Raiderforlife @pk_sea How is this even remotely political?
@benseattle Should be "amount of heat" lol.
@Rickapolis @benseattle There's nothing wrong with being from U. of Maryland. If Crabtree thinks there is, I'm sure his teammate Vernon Davis could explain his error.
The problem was not that Heyward-Bey was a Terp. It's that the Raiders drafted him for his speed and didn't really make an accurate appraisal of his true potential. The Raiders took a lot of flak for making that choice.

Survey tracks guns linked to gang activity in Houston
By John-Henry Perera | June 18, 2014 | Updated: June 18, 2014 7:15am
Photo By Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's OfficeA new survey says U.S. criminals are going for something smaller for their weapons of choice. "Small Arms Survey 2014" notes 782 seized firearms were linked to gang activity in the Houston area. See which guns proved more popular than others in our gallery.

When it comes to illegal firearms, criminals in Houston and the rest of the U.S. prefer something more portable, according to a new survey.
"Small Arms Survey 2014: Women and Guns" focuses on several different topics, including violence against women and girls, and ammunition profile. On the topic of illicit weapons in the U.S., researchers looked at public perceptions of urban violence and wondered if they were completely accurate.
Looking at eight U.S. cities and towns, researchers discovered the majority of seized firearms were handguns, about 77 percent. Seventy percent of those guns were semi-automatic pistols of various makes and models.
Interestingly enough, rifles only made up 12 percent of total firearms seized. In other parts of the world, rifles made up the majority of seized firearms.
"These differences highlight the heterogeneity of regional and national markets for illicit weapons, which are shaped by many different factors, including regional stability; the security of government arsenals; the civilian market; and the objectives, resources and sophistication of consumers of illicit weapons in the different regions studied," according to the survey.
You can see the numbers for each type of firearm in the above gallery.

Update - Sorry I messed up. The Xoom actually has DDR2 but clocked at a slower speed.
Here's a comparison (and I've seen other similar ones) showing them both having DDR2 RAM and, interestingly, the TF with a 667MHz system bus compared to the Xoom with a 600MHz system bus. That could help explain why the TF shows faster benchmarks pretty much across the board.
I was on my phone when I posted my last comment so I couldn't copy the link easily.

Is it just me or
Not to sound skeptical but it's hard to take this site seriously. You can only get to know someone so well from what they write about themselves and I think you know shortly after that first meeting. I'm sure everyone that's met someone on here has had a different impression of the person they were emailing, texting, talking on the phone when they actually met face to face. So here is my big sell: I'm easy going, creative, a deep thinker, have my s&*t together. I am comfortable in my skin and have a lot to offer the right people who are my friends. I'm well traveled and like different cultures and different lifestyles. You never know where life is going to take you. Some of my best experiences have taken me by surprise and caught me off guard but I'm always willing to take life in stride. I would be into someone athletic that is willing to get into doing things outdoors, swimming, running, biking, into adventure but also able to hang out and have a few beers and pizza without getting hung up on it. You don't have to be a super athlete with a six pack. I was competitive in my old days but now I do it more for fun/casually. It would be nice to have that other half that could keep me moving and go with me on days when I feel like doing nothing productive! I am really handy and do most of the work around myself or help and learn if I need to contact a professional. I know my limits! I entertain a lot. I have a movie theater setup in my back yard have various other.. well I will just call them parties. I used to read A LOT when I was younger but moved on to movies and music. I like to fall asleep with Netflix on the TV and usually have Pandora on when I am around the house. I gave up on cable or satellite years ago because of commercials but never could go without my internet.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Cycling, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Cats
I found my cat as a stray kitten in the fire station a couple years ago.
Some other viewpoint
Anything with a good jukebox and atmosphere. Not into being too crowded or screaming to be heard. I've been to several parts of the world over the years and usually try to travel where I have friends rather than just get a ticket and be a tourist.
The recent updates of cell phones, tools, my new house, rolling rock, yuengling draft, the ocean at dawn, night, or sunset. Stories of fear and loathing, humor, the human body, great work schedules, satisfaction, helping.
I love the outdoors. I run, ride bicycles, swim, camp, hike, hash, scuba dive, and used to surf. I also am a movie and music buff, but prefer to listen and watch at home. I bought a house so have been working on that.
I've sampled a lot of books. I used to read every night but have deferred to the internet.

The Cassier
I did not know before we turned onto the Cassier that it even had a name. On my map it was 37 or 39 or something and I still think of it at "Hwy 37."
When I got the extra gas can I though it was overkill, extra, kind-of-silly. But it wasn't.
Somewhere before Belle II my gas light came on. Dave's and Siggy's and Scott's were on, too. There hadn't been any gas. It was more than 200 miles since we'd filled up. I knew I couldn't turn back and make it very far. We hadn't seen anybody else for at least an hour.
And me? I had the Deliverance song in my head. I was in the middle of nowhere with three complete strangers and I was going to run out of gas. I had two liters of white-gas, for my stove, but I'd never actually tried to run my motor with that stuff. Theoreticaly it would work, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that my stove-fuel was from a northern Wisconsin walmart, circa AD2000.
I have never felt so free.
There was nothing to do, but ride. We rode easy- no more 85mph. We went steady at 50 mph. Easy. Gas lights on. Bear looking at us. Rain. Ghost towns with defunct gas stations.
And then, Belle II. We got gas and coffee and chocolate cake and life was good again.
But then it got really, really epic. Mud and snow, baby! When we pulled over because Siggy had to pee, all I could do was yell, "YEAH, BABY!" because of all the things I've ever done, I've never felt so completely insane. "Whatever you guys do, DO NOT TELL MY MOTHER I DID THIS," I said. I constantly felt like I was in an old TV show where they say "do not attempt this at home." Because after we got gas Siggy seemed to become possessed and he lead us 80mph in the mud and there were times when the mud and gravel were up to our rims.
Dave goes, "Sport bikes aren't supposed to do this but my fat rear wheel just floats."
(Note: I don't know why my camera labled these photos "7/05/07" because it was still July 4.)
I didn't get any photos of the snow or the rain. I could hardly see through my fogged-up face shield. It was a muddy face-shield too. But Siggy was going and Scott and Dave were going, so I went. I was at the edge of my ability and I kept laughing at my bike- AN RS! What was an RS doing out there, with a bunch of sport bikes?
Eventually it started to get dark, we were running out of gas, and we came to a town and I still don't know where it was. The gas station was closed for the night and there were no hotels. Somehow we found one that was closed- as in, OUT OF BUSINESS, but someone was there and they opened up a couple of rooms for us. Mine was full of kid's toys and it looked like whoever had lived there had left in a hurry.
Here's the hotel:
There was frost on our bikes when we got up.
But the night before we relaxed in a bar and had a few beers and a few really good burgers and life was good.
There was something else. Back in the truck stop where we'd turned onto the Cassier we saw a First Nation guy with his arm all torn up and his face looking beat. Siggy asked him what happened. He said he'd wrecked his bike. Then, that night in the bar with no name, in he walked! Hundreds of mile later. And he got himself a case of beer. Scott was totally pissed because he'd been trying to buy some of the same kind- something Canadian that I don't remember, but the bartender said they were out. And every First Nation guy that came in bought a case! Scott started to get really mad, but what could he do- we were the only four non-First Nation people around. The guy with the torn-up arm goes, "You travel far." Then, "I still have two hundred miles, and it's 20 mph." He was going to Telegraph or somewhere I didn't want to go. And then he left. With his beer. Not even Scott could say anything.
I am Charlie.

In case you weren't paying attention, since yesterday there's been a very public war of words between the Senate's two most hyped members, Barack Obama and John McCain, over lobbying reform.
Rather then tell the entire backstory, which you can read here and here, I'll make three points.
1. McCain's lobbying reform bill is incredibly weak compared to the Democrats "Honest Leadership Act." That's why only two Senate Democrats, Joe Lieberman and Bill Nelson, have signed on.
2. As Josh Marshall noted today, it was McCain who assured anxious Republicans that his Indian Affairs Committee investigation of Jack Abramoff wouldn't touch any prominent elected officials in his own party, including Tom DeLay.
3. McCain's a political opportunist. He only became a "reformer" after he was implicated in the Senate's Keating Five scandal. And as my profile of him last November made clear, there's no greater opportunity than the Presidency in '08. Which helps explain why he's acting like such an ass.

Tales and Scales: Group teaches students about music, movement
The alphabet probably wasn't expecting such enthusiasm.
After all, this was the second grade. The novelty of simply knowing the proper order of the letters A through Z has worn off. Hardly anyone at that age gets excited about singing the alphabet anymore.
That is, unless they are students in a Tales and Scales workshop, which is all about encouraging children to use their imagination.
So when Ashley Frary showed a class at Cairo Elementary School how to turn the letters of a perfectly ordinary alphabet into an active, full-body theatrical expression, it wasn't long before the fundamentals of the English language were suddenly fun again.
Take the little girl, all dressed in red, who hopped her way through most of the letters.
Each time she stomped her feet on the floor of teacher Staci Risley's classroom, her fellow students yelled out the letter that had brought her feet down. Likewise, when she tiptoed, they murmured softly.
The change in the volume of sound was an expression of dynamics, Frary explained.
Meanwhile, when the little girl crept slowly across the floor, and then suddenly rushed forward as fast as she could, her peers mimicked her interpretation of the alphabet in such a way that Frary was able to talk about tempo.
These were just two concepts she was tasked with teaching in the workshop after she and three others had performed an hour-long song and dance program called "The Enchanted Horn" in the Cairo gym.
Also performing were Andre "Monte" Skelton (saxophone), Patrick Ritsch (piano and trombone) and Brandon Hagen (percussion). The producing artistic director is Liz Mumford, and the booking associate/ensemble manager is Craig Schutz.
The quartet will be making the rounds at other Henderson County school district elementary schools today and next week as well. It will go to Holy Name School on Nov. 4.
"Our mission is to ignite the imaginations of young people through music and movement," Frary said.
She is the primary vocalist for the quartet, though the Millikin University graduate also plays the ukulele.
"We try to go into as many schools and places as we can, especially nowadays when the arts budgets are cut and" students don't receive as much exposure to the arts.
Frary said the program also helps give students more self-confidence.
Hilary Abigana, a flutist who was with Tales and Scales in 2009, said the program reaches students who learn in all sorts of different ways.
Kinesthetic learners, for instance, learn through movement and dance. Visual learners learn through acting and watching. And auditory learners respond well to the music and sounds used in the Tales and Scales program.
One Cairo student who has seen the Tales and Scales troupe every year since kindergarten said he likes that the musictelling program changes every year.
"I learned that singing is a good activity," said Nolan Carrier, 7. "It was very good. The story that they did was really exciting and cool."
For more information on Tales and Scales, visit www.talesandscales.org
Tales and Scales will also perform again at the Henderson Fine Arts Center.
"The Frog Who Wanted To Be A Singer" performance will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5.
It will be the first event in this year's Henderson Area Arts Alliance Family Series.

Cannot change Storage location
Hi, we are using BE 2012 and we setup a new NAS device to save the backups to.
To configure this within BE 2012 I went into the 'Storage' tab, clicked on 'Configure Storage' and added a 'disk based storage' and pointed to the storage share via network share...
Note that it finds the capacity information but says 'Not enough statistical info' under Storage Trending. I also occasionally see a green PLAY type button next to the name of it...not sure what that is.
Problem is when I go back to the 'Backup and Restore' tab, click on a server and edit the backup task to change the storage location to the new NAS device (which I do see in the list)....it does accept it but when I click on the server again, it says "Any disk storage".
This happened when I tried it for other servers as well. Odd thing is when I check the timestamp of the location on the NAS device I do see recent timestamps so it may be doing the backups there but I am not sure.
How do I fix this?
Comments 12 Comments • Jump to latest comment
...because if it has been tested, then it is supported. If it hasn't been tested, then Symantec won't guarantee that BE will work with it.
Download B2Dtest.exe to ensure that the NAS is supported for B2D functions.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
As per the link below, your NAS can do iSCSI...why not invoke this by carving out LUNs, invoke iSCSI on the media server, and present these LUNs to it. This is going to give you a persistent connection to the NAS, and get around a number of authentication issues...
I did something similar on Iomega NAS units and it worked out very well!
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...it makes life simpler. You'll find you can run into authentication issues, and network shares don't tend to be the most stable.
iSCSI is a persistent connection. Read my article and decide for yourself if you want to proceed with it.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
No...you can connect the NAS to the network switch/es you have if you want to provision storage for other servers. Connecting the NAS directly to the media server means that you can only access the NAS from that server.
The only way you're going to see if you get backups through is to look for the creation of the *.bkf files on the B2D you created.
I suggested iSCSI (if you read my article it explains why I tested this, and then put it into my production environments) because all I got were disconnects and authentication errors (even after putting the NAS onto the domain). It is worth you testing the setup to see if it works, which then allows you to make a better decision.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...if you aren't able to consider what's been presented to you, then I'd recommend opening a case with Symantec to investigate your issue.

Its all my personal opinion. I dont want to shove it down people throats. Dont play it if You dont like 2 weapons limit or graphics. That is still there from the demo.
But it's duke nukem not COD. It should be kept like the original and be able to hold all your weapons as its best suited to duke and it's style. Graphics aside $77 is a lot of cash for a game with such lousy reviews, it's duke but for that kind of money I have to step back, I went against my gut once before with far cry 2 which was utter crap and I wasted my money. I will need to demo it still to completely make up my mind.

F800GS How did you wire up your GPS?

Joined: Jan 2010
Location: The Cleave
Oddometer: 391
Just got finished wiring up the GPS. My buddy came over with his Fluke multi-meter and we tested all the connections to verify power/ground/continuity/etc.... I used the BMW "test" plug and soldered it to the Garmin GPS supplied wire harness and heat-shrink wrapped the connections. The BMW test plug has (3) wires labeled 1, 2, & 3. 1 is ground and 3 is positive. I cut the Garmin wire harness and spliced in an SAE plug between the voltage reducer and Mini-USB that plugs into the back of the GPS. I also soldered and heat-shrink wrapped those connections. Now, I can leave the GPS wire harness with fuse block and voltage reducer permanently plugged into the BMW GPS connector on the bike and when I remove the GPS from the bike I can just disconnect the SAE plug and the Mini-USB comes inside along with the GPS and the SAE plug just gets a cover installed on the bike and is weather proof. VIOLA!!!! I'm set now
BTW... as previously stated the power coming from the BMW GPS plug is 12V so if your GPS requires less than 12V be sure to use the voltage reducer or you will fry your GPS.

hi, my name's jim,
About us…
Note about Facebook Group:
As you may have noticed our Facebook group has been hijacked by a single user who claims to now be the sole owner of the group. This user has not only hijacked the Facebook group but has also posted information that he may have fraudulently registered the group with the IRS. We apologize for this lapse of security and are working hard to resolve the situation. The Joplin Freethinkers were intended to be a free and open group that anyone can join and participate in, and is not the sole property of any one person. Approval to enter the group is only enabled to prevent spammers and bots from ruining the page. The group has been very inactive lately. But it is sad that anyone, especially a founder, would attempt to hijack the group like this. The group has been setup so anyone can plan a meeting or post on the group page. We have worked hard to make sure that this group is open and never unduly controlled by a single person. In this case, our openness has given an opportunity for an individual to take over the Facebook group. If you would like to help get the Facebook page back into the control of the group, please report the user who has taken over the group to Facebook.
Joplin Freethinkers was organized in January 2009. We hold that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic rather than emotion, authority, tradition or dogma. We advocate the use of reason, defend the separation of church and state and support human rights, civil rights, tolerance and equality for all. Our goal is to provide a social and intellectual community for those who promote these principles.

Take your truck back to the shop who did the work. They must have accidentally bumped something when they did the other work or forgot to re-install something. it happens. We technicians are only human. Do it ASAP, so they will remember you and before the warranty for this repair runs out which is maybe a week to 30 days.

While it may not reach the pinnacle of other next-gen sports games, MLB 14 The Show is a solid effort that brings just enough new exciting bits to the PS4 experience.
The Vita version of Little Big Planet is the best yet, and makes great use of touch and tilt controls to boot.

MLB 14 The Show is the first next-generation baseball simulation video game from Sony's SCEA San Diego Studio.

I'd like to stare at my watch less, not more. What the Apple Watch needs next is a second wave of even more efficient apps.

Other Magritte paintings, like the pipe, the painter creating a woman, or the apples, are representations of the impossible, but I think it's the use of light to represent impossibility that makes the painting more relevant to photography.
Magritte is drawing with light, but what's more he is drawing light itself, and having a ball doing so.
I agree, to go past, nay, to defeat realism was his and the other surrealists' goal.

Press Release
"The great thing about the Scala Rider is of course communication. I've noticed that many riders don't use one and I get that too. Sometimes you want to be alone with your thoughts when riding through a beautiful landscape but a Scala Rider will change your group riding forever. Not only is it a great safety precaution, allowing you to both warn and be warned of dangers ahead but it is great being able to talk about just about anything while riding."
"It's surprising how great it is on group rides to simply be able to talk with other riders, and it's nice to be able to voice-activate a conversation (or press a button)."
"Overall, the scala rider G9x works great for communicating with friends or a passenger. The noise cancelling microphone works so well that some callers never guessed we were riding down the highway at full speed."
