crowding in base camps, long duty days, being fired on by the enemy, and noise from guns and artillery.
Kulka et al. (1990) asked Vietnam veterans about both war-zone stressors and traumatic events for the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS). They distinguished between the two with the understanding that exposure to war-zone stress, such as being on frequent long-range patrols in hostile enemy territory, could increase the risk of exposure to a traumatic event, such as being in an ambush in which their colleagues were killed or wounded. Male veterans were asked 94 questions about war-zone stress exposures: 48 items about exposure to combat, 24 items about exposure to abusive violence and related conflicts, 12 items about deprivation, 9 items about loss of meaning and control, and 1 item about ever having been a prisoner of war in Vietnam. They found that 75% of veterans with high levels of war-zone stress also had exposure to at least one traumatic event during the war, and one-third of theater veterans with low war-zone stress described at least one traumatic experience. When war-zone combat exposure based on military records was compared with self-reports of combat exposure, Dohrenwend et al. (2006) found that 96.5% of Vietnam veterans who were classified as having low combat exposure on the basis of their military records reported having low or moderate exposure, and 72.1% of those classified as having very high combat exposure reported high exposure.
Fontana and Rosenheck (1999) used NVVRS data to identify important war-zone stressors. Primary stressors are killing or injuring others and insufficiency (inadequate food, inadequate water, inadequate weapons or munitions, inadequate equipment or supplies, loss of freedom of movement, and lack of privacy)—part of what King et al. (1995) called a malevolent environment. Other studies of Vietnam veterans indicate that participating in or witnessing atrocities against the enemy or civilians, both dead and alive, can be an important stressor (Fontana and Rosenheck 1999; King et al. 1995).
Schlenger et al. (1992) sought to develop a comprehensive exposure measure that would capture the array of war-zone stressors. They used principal-component analysis of the 100 interview items on the National Survey of the Vietnam Generation (part of the NVVRS) to develop a list of major stressors for men and women. For men, the stressors were exposure to combat (such as frequency of receiving enemy small-arms fire), abusive violence and related conflict (such as involvement in mutilation of bodies), deprivation (such as lack of shelter from weather), and loss of meaning and control (such as a sense of purposelessness). For women, the stressors were exposure to dead and wounded (such as frequency of giving care to people who later died), exposure to enemy fire (such as frequency of being under enemy fire), direct combat involvement (such as frequency of firing a weapon in a combat situation), exposure to abusive violence (such as seeing or hearing of Americans who had been tortured), deprivation (such as frequency of fatigue or exhaustion), and loss of meaning and control (such as feeling out of touch with the world).
In Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and OIF, many of the stressors are more reminiscent of the Vietnam War than of the 1991 Gulf War or World War II. With the defeat of the Iraqi Army and later sectarian violence, U.S. troops have been subjected to guerilla warfare and terrorist actions from civilian insurgents and militias; soldiers must be constantly on guard against snipers, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and suicide bombers; and all civilians must be viewed with caution.
In 2003, Hoge et al. (2004) surveyed 2856 Army and 815 Marine combat infantry troops before and several months after their deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan for the Army units and

Hi everyone! I'm Judit, welcome to my page. I like to play videogames, draw, listen to good music, sing, and lots of things more. I'm here cuz I love games and I'll like to follow my favourite games and mods. Thank ye for yer visit!
Posted by Skymaid on Mar 16th, 2013
At least, I have some time after I finished most of my exams (I get and exam almost every week! lucky for me I'm the geek type and love to study...)
Today, I'm going to talk about one of the most original games I've ever seen, as a creation of the always awesome Tim Schafer:
On this game, we'll find ourselves in a Summer Camp that is really special, cuz is a camp for kids with mental habilities as telepathy, telekinesys, invisibility... there, the kids are taught to control them and use them for greatest good, become Psychonauts! The first day, it will appear a very special kid, that has a super mental power that can even stops the teachers, who are trained and experienced Psychonauts, to even read his mind.
Optimistic, skillful and with a mental habilities that are rated as 'one in a million', Raz has scaped from his family Circus to become a psychonaut, but as he needs permission from his parents, he must wait two days for his father to come and take him back home, that means for him less time to become a trained agent! While waiting, he will use his skills as an acrobat and his sharp mind to train his powers in the mental disciplines, showing that even with a young age he is truly awesome and can surpass the exams with insuperable califications. However, Raz will find himself drag into an evil plot to take over the world (honest: evil guys doesn't have any better ideas than conquer the world? original, I told you... ok, sarcasm mode: off), where he will have to fight for his psychic brain and the brains of all his new friends.
Some other chars:
Known around the world, super agent Sasha Nein. Serious, a little cold and with a stric logic mind, man of science that studies the mysteries of the human psyche. He has learned to keep his thoughs under strict control, a thing that he considers very important for a mind; but sometimes he has comments that makes you think if he really has said that, he is a gentleman in the end and cares for everyone. He hasn't realized that he is a celebrity, specially for kids like Raz, who reads the magazine "Real Psychic Stories"'; his special field on mental powers is the Psy Blast.
International secret agent and famous actress, she is know as the mental minx. Brassilian instructor of Levitation, Milla loves parties and children, she adores to work with them and is always keeping an eye for their safety. On contrast with her companion and friend Sasha, Milla is cheerful and fun-loving, charming and so sweet with everyone. She is qualified as the best levitator in the whole world. Her mind is a colorful dance party where every children loves to dance and learn from her..
Military trainer that is always present in all camps. This short man believes that kids must train their brain like if it was a muscle instead of an organ and tries by all means to train the children to become war machines. He teachs basic training, his mind is like a battlefield with explossions and more stuff that could perfectly appears on a Call of Duty. You can already tell his personality traits: grumpy, loudy, "get into my mind and give me twenty..."
This old man directs the camp with good hand, knows all the shortcuts even; you can find him in the kitchen and at the same time can be on the lake, cleaning the canoes. A disguisse master, he is a mistery for most of the game.
Lili has passed the camp's psychic trials and in all her years she has never seen anything exciting or interesting, until Raz arrived. Totally a character, she is very cinical and will try to aid Raz in all the problems when they get started at camp.
Special point: The Curse
Even with all his mental powers and acrobatics skills, Raz is unable to be near of deep water, cuz of an ancient curse on his family: The Hand of Galochio.
Long time ago, a family from a rival circus, called the Galochio, cursed Raz's family, with a curse that says that all of them and their descendants will die in the water, drowned. Everytime Raz gets close to deep water, a watery hand will appear and try to catch and drown him. This only happens on deep water, like the lake one; on a one metter river it doesn't happens. It will never appears it he just stays in water that cannot surpass his waistline.
Animation in game is really awesome, every mind you explore is a whole new world, addapted to every person as they see the world, find the problem and the solution inside their minds. We will have to gain new psychic powers for Raz and learn hot to use them in every situation.
Like it veeery much!
If ye had the chance, give it a try!
Kisses to every one! And stay healthy.

text: The The Black Bass wiki last edited by ReverendHunt on 04/20/13 09:07AM View full history OverviewThe Black Bass is a sequel to the original The Black Bass. The reason it lacks any sort of numerical is because the first game was never released outside of Japan. In Japan, this game is known as The Black Bass II, but as it was the first in the series to be released in the US the publishers simply dropped the "II".As with the original game the goal is to catch as many of the eponymous fish as possible within the time limit that the game's central fishing competition enforces. Players must select their bait or lure, choose a good spot in the lake to start fishing and then patiently wait and then hook any black bass that come along.

Ranking The 2008 Rookie Coaches
How did the new guys do?
Richard Cirminiello
- Ranking The 2006 Rookie
Head Coaches
- Ranking The 2007 Rookie
Head Coaches
Eighteen head
coaches made their debuts at campuses across the country in 2008.
Although the results were mixed, with two rookies finishing the season
ranked in the Top 25 and more than half participating in a bowl game,
the challenges were similar; win in a new town with someone else's
recruits. Oh, and if you can generate more fan interest and move the
turnstiles, that'd be nice as well. While a handful of coaches have made
strong early impressions in their first year on the job, others, such as
Michigan's Rich Rodriguez and Texas A&M's Mike Sherman, are already
scrambling for answers before the start of another session of spring
Quick, get this guy
an extension
Houston Nutt,
Ole Miss – An SEC retread? Uh, no. It's taken Nutt less than a year to
turn around a Rebel program that had completely lost its way under Ed
Orgeron. In the four seasons prior to his arrival, Ole Miss had won just
14 games. In 2008, the Rebs went 9-4, including a win over national
champion Florida and a 47-34 victory over then-No. 8 Texas Tech in the
Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss closed the season on a six-game winning streak and
an improbable No. 14 in the final AP poll, concrete evidence that Nutt
was far from finished when he got the boot from Arkansas a year ago.
2. Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech – If 2008 is a fair barometer, the
option most certainly can work in a major conference. Johnson
exceeded all expectations in his first year at Tech, inheriting a bunch
of misfits for his style of offense, and quickly transforming them into
one of the nation's most potent ground games. The Jackets were in
contention for the Coastal Division all season, and beat rival Georgia
for the first time in seven years, a huge feather in Johnson's cap. If
he can win nine games with Chan Gailey's recruits, there's a sense
around Atlanta that the best is yet to come for Tech.
3. Bo
Nebraska – Nebraska is all about the championships. And while the
Huskers didn't win one in 2008, they took a firm step in that direction
by capping a nine-win season with a come-from-behind Gator Bowl defeat
of Clemson. Call it the foundation on which future teams will be built.
Without a preponderance of top-tier talent, Pelini shook off a
three-game, mid-season losing streak to lead Nebraska to a nifty 6-1
finish. That momentum plus the experience of being a head coach for the
first time is capable of propelling Pelini to new heights in a suddenly
wide-open Big 12 North.
4. Steve Fairchild, Colorado State – To fully appreciate what
Fairchild accomplished in his debut season, it's important to remember
where the program was when he arrived. The Rams had gotten stale under
Sonny Lubick this decade, slipping below .500 in each of the last two
seasons. So, when a new staff took over, expectations were modest, to
say the least. However, rather than wallowing at the bottom of the
Mountain West, as many expected, Fairchild began to restore some of the
pride that evaporated in Fort Collins, leading the program to its first
winning season since 2003 and first bowl victory since 2001.
5. Kevin
Houston – When hired, Sumlin vowed to take what Art Briles had
accomplished and go a few steps further. So far, so good. After
sputtering out of the gate, the Cougars began to gel, winning seven of
their final nine games, including a bowl game for the first time in 28
years. As expected, the catalyst for the in-season turnaround was a
high-octane offense that ranked among the nation's top 10 in scoring and
total yards. Many of the key components of that attack return in 2009,
making Sumlin's goal of a BCS bowl berth a little more attainable.
6. Ken Niumatalolo, Navy – The Midshipmen wouldn't be the same
without Paul Johnson, right? At least for one year, that was not the
case. Niumatalolo was successful in keeping Navy on the winning path,
guiding the academy to its sixth straight bowl game, despite not having
the services of QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada for much of the year. The
highlights were winning another Commander-in-Chief's Trophy and beating
Rutgers and Wake Forest. Niumatalolo's eight wins were the most by a
first-year Middie coach since 1926, earning him a contract extension at
the end of the season.
You made
nice progress…now build on it
7. Art Briles, Baylor – Wins and losses are not the only measures
of success, especially at a perennial doormat, like Baylor. The Bears
made undeniable strides under Briles, even in a year when they won just
four games. What the standings won't reveal is that the school scored
its most points since 1994, and came within a play or two of upsetting
Connecticut, Nebraska, Missouri, and Texas Tech. And all with true
freshman Robert Johnson calling signals and quickly becoming the face of
a resurgence in Waco.
8. David Cutcliffe, Duke – After just one year of Cutcliffe
calling the shots, the difference in the play of the Blue Devils was
palpable. The execution was crisper, the mistakes were less frequent,
and the offense scored more points than any Duke team had in the last 13
years. The team's four victories matched the total from the previous
four seasons combined, and included an ACC win for the first time in
almost four years. Cutcliffe has helped give the Blue Devils an
injection of hope and improved talent, which have been missing since the
Steve Spurrier days two decades ago.
9. Larry Fedora, Southern Miss – It took more than half the
season, but once the Eagles fully bought into Fedora's system and
philosophy, they really began to roll. Southern Miss won its final four
games to become bowl-eligible, capping the year with a fifth win
in-a-row in the New Orleans Bowl. The offense set all kinds of
single-season school records, including total yards and passing yards,
and came within four points of the scoring record set more than half a
century ago. Best of all, the Eagles did their damage with a redshirt
freshman at quarterback and a true freshman catching many of his passes.
10. Jerry Kill, Northern Illinois – Being picked to finish near
the bottom of the MAC before the season began did nothing to derail the
Huskies' drive toward a postseason. One of the most improbable teams to
earn a bowl berth, Northern Illinois won the games it was supposed to,
overachieving behind the play of the league's stingiest defense and a
redshirt freshman quarterback. While a trip to Shreveport to play in the
Independence Bowl might seem like a punishment for many schools, it was
a watershed moment for a Huskie team that wasn't supposed to play beyond
11. Greg McMackin, Hawaii – Think back to where the Warriors were
a year ago. In the span of two chaotic weeks, they'd been embarrassed on
a national level in the Sugar Bowl, lost the architect of the program to
SMU, parted ways with a Heisman-contending quarterback, and were losing
receivers early to the NFL. The job of bailing water out of the wa'a
belonged to McMackin, who last held a head job 35 years ago at Aloha
High School. All things considered, he did a nice job. After starting
out 1-3, Hawaii rallied for seven wins and a third straight bowl invite.
You were
over .500, but it didn't feel like it
12. Bill Stewart, West Virginia – So far, Stewart has failed to
answer his legion of critics, who labeled his hiring as a knee-jerk
reaction to a tremendous Fiesta Bowl upset. In his first season, the
Mountaineers lost their swagger and a lot of the offensive production
that made them so scary under Rich Rodriguez. The optimist will suggest
that nine wins in a transition year isn't so shabby. The realist,
however, will point out that you can't go to the Continental Tire Bowl
or finish on the fringe of the Top 25 in Pat White's final season in
You were
under .500, but better days lay ahead
13. Bobby
Petrino, Arkansas – It was an odd year in Fayetteville, filled with
a fair amount of high points and forgettable moments. The same Hogs that
needed to rally to beat Western Illinois and Louisiana-Monroe actually
knocked off Auburn, Tulsa, and LSU in a momentum-building second half.
That's bound to happen when the players don't quite fit the system and
underclassmen dot the two-deep. Still, there's a feeling of optimism
surrounding the program heading into 2009. The last four losses were
only by 20 points combined, and coveted QB Ryan Mallett is eligible
after transferring from Michigan.
14. Rick Neuheisel, UCLA – Rick Neuheisel is a coach. He is not a
magician. The latter would have been needed to get much more than four
wins out of this UCLA team. The Bruins simply didn't have enough talent,
especially on offense, to contend for bowl eligibility. An upgrade at
quarterback and along the offensive line, in particular, is paramount to
closing the gap on the likes of USC, Oregon, and Cal. It's a good thing
Neuheisel has a track record as a recruiter because his next order of
business is to raise the talent level in Westwood.
15. June
SMU – Rather than playing for an extra win or two in the present, Jones
completely broke down the Mustangs in 2008 with an eye toward the
future. He handed the keys to his run-and-shoot offense to a true
freshman, and came down hard on those who didn't follow the rules. What
the 1-11 record didn't reveal was that SMU became more competitive and
comfortable in the system as the season went on. In fact, four of the
team's final seven losses were by a touchdown or less. It's not much,
but it is something to build on in 2009.
Grab your
passport …the honeymoon is already over
Mike Sherman,
Texas A&M – This looked like a strange hire a year ago. Still does. The
Aggies pulled up the rear in a Big 12 South that still claims Baylor as
one of its members, and dropped their final three games by an average
score of 52-19. The program instituted a youth movement, using more than
a dozen freshmen throughout the four-win season, which ought to start
paying more dividends beginning in 2009. It better because Aggie fans
have grown increasingly impatient with a program that's missed the
postseason four times this decade, and keeps falling further behind in
the state pecking order.
17. Paul Wulff, Washington State – Things weren't just bad in
Pullman. They were hide-the-women-and-children bad. The Cougars never
stood a chance, arguably authoring the worst season in Pac-10 history.
Beating Washington in the Apple Cup helped, but couldn't gloss over
finishing 118th nationally in both scoring offense and
defense, and 2-11 overall. While it didn't help losing quarterbacks like
they were baby teeth, there's no excusing a six-game stretch that saw
five points opponents ring up at least 58 points. Even in the Eastern
Washington days, Wulff-coached teams rarely played much defense,
something that needs to be addressed in a hurry.
18. Rich Rodriguez, Michigan – A dip was expected, yes, but this?
Totally unacceptable. Beyond the culture shock that came with a new
staff and a new offense, Wolverine fans were forced to endure a 3-9
disaster, the worst campaign in the school's storied history. It was
under Rodriguez's watch that Michigan squandered long winning streaks
versus Michigan State, Penn State, and the Mid-American Conference, and
went without a bowl game for the first time since 1974. It all adds up
to a sense of desperation to win more games in 2009 and cultivate the
right mix of talent to run the spread offense in Ann Arbor.

From Azimuth, blog of mathematical physicist John Baez (author of the Crackpot Index):
This week I'll start an interview with Eliezer Yudkowsky, who works at an institute he helped found: the Singularity Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
While many believe that global warming or peak oil are the biggest dangers facing humanity, Yudkowsky is more concerned about risks inherent in the accelerating development of technology. There are different scenarios one can imagine, but a bunch tend to get lumped under the general heading of a technological singularity. Instead of trying to explain this idea in all its variations, let me rapidly sketch its history and point you to some reading material. Then, on with the interview!

Was this year's good news because of — or in spite of — our fishery practices?
How to get your fair share when fish and birds are feeding
When conditions are rough, the catch is all the sweeter
Quietly and with hope
Another week, I'm sitting home cleaning the gear
Use the down-time to clean your gear
When the fish bite, you gotta be there to catch them
With the editor's husband on board, there was no leaving till I got him a fish
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?
They shouldn't have been biting. But they were. And I was catching.

Change is coming quicker than expected with the Royals.
Another top prospect is on the way.
In the wake of Kyle Davies' injury and Monday's 19-1 loss to the Indians, the Royals announced that 22-year-old left-hander Danny Duffy will make his major-league debut in Wednesday night start against the Rangers. Duffy is the first of a highly-touted group of young pitchers to arrive in the big leagues, just as first baseman Eric Hosmer was the first of a highly-touted group of position players when the Royals called him up two weeks back.
What's especially exciting for the Royals, who have had just one winning season in the last 16 years (and likely won't break that streak this year), is that more are on the way.
Third baseman Mike Moustakas, in fact, seems to have been inspired by the Hosmer call-up. In eight games since Hosmer left Triple-A Omaha, Moustakas has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with three home runs and 11 RBI.
Duffy was 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in seven starts at Omaha. His other numbers are even better, with 10 walks and 43 strikeouts in 36 innings.

FX 5200, Debian : can't get 3D acceleration
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone!
My X server works perfectly when using driver nv. But now, i'd like to enable 3D acceleration. I installed nvidia driver 1.0-6111 exactly as described in the readme (recompiled, nv->nvidia + modules), but it won't work ! When running startx, my pc just hangs with a black screen.
At bootup, nvidia kernel module is loaded without any error. I tried the following options in X server config file :
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV"
I also disabled Local APIC in my kernel, Fast Writes and got AGP to 4X in the BIOS.
The log file indicates the NVIDIA X driver and the GLX module are loaded. There isn't any error message in the log file.
If someone could help me... I attached the config file and the log. (with log-verbose 5)
Here is my config:
GeForce FX 5200 (64 Mo) bios : 04.34.20.27.00
SONY SDM HS-53 (flat screen)
driver version x86-1.0-6111
Debian Sid 2.4.27
Athlon XP 2800+
Re: FX 5200, Debian : can't get 3D acceleration
Does it crash without

When a Park Turns Into a Soundscape
By BEN SISARIO
Published: July 2, 2004
The usual concert season in New York lasts from September to June, but for those who like to make concertgoing an adventure -- and don't like to pay much for their adventures -- the best time of year is summer.
Opera stars emote at the Met in the Parks series, world music luminaries head to Central and Prospect Parks, and the hottest names in indie rock play the South Street Seaport and Coney Island, mostly free. In all, more than 500 free outdoor concerts will take place in the five boroughs over the summer, most in series that make sampling easy.
Not that it's all a walk in the park. Summer may be the season of dream lineups, communal dancing and hot dog and beer concessions, but it can also offer inadequate sound systems, enormous lines and bad weather.
''It's a mixture of fun and horror,'' said Rufus Wainwright, the Canadian singer-songwriter, now a resident of Manhattan. He was speaking of Central Park SummerStage, where he performed last year and will return for benefit concerts on July 13 and 14. ''There's a real jolt of terror before getting up there and realizing all that's gone on in that park.''
Summer is also a time for making special plans, and in honor of all the summers that I have not lived the season to its fullest, I pledged to go to as many free events as possible over two weekends, in an endurance test that took me from Washington Heights to Prospect Park, from Rockefeller Plaza at 7 a.m. to a rainstorm at South Street Seaport just as the sun set.
I was charmed by Jimmy Buffett and chilled by the Latin jazzman Miguel Zenón, but most of all I was impressed by Ted Leo.
Mr. Leo, a star of indie rock who at 33 is already an old hand in the business, was booked last Friday at the Seaport Music Festival, a modest but first-rate series of cutting-edge rock, pop and jazz. It was Mr. Leo's third time there, and he told me he had wanted it to be a reclamation of his appearance on Aug. 14, 2003.
That afternoon his band, the Pharmacists, had just started to set up when the biggest blackout in American history began. A little rock 'n' roll ingenuity was needed to make the show go on.
''There was a Starbucks vending truck there, and the kid working on it was a fan,'' he explained. ''A light bulb went off in his head: 'Man, I have generators to power these Frappuccinos -- can you use them?' With the Seaport staff, we figured out how to make a smaller version of the P.A. using the two generators in the back of the truck.''
The band played as the sun went down and left the city in darkness.
This year Mr. Leo's hopes for a normal gig were nearly dashed by a powerful downpour just as the music was getting started at 6 p.m. The plug was quickly pulled, but the 200 or more fans there knew it would take more than a little rain to stop the show. After about an hour Mr. Leo took the stage with his band, and during a break in the rain they got in a 35-minute set of his earnest, tuneful pop-punk. Everybody went home wet and happy.
''How could I not go on?'' Mr. Leo said later. ''You've got all those people standing in the rain for hours. You've got to give them something.''
A price must often be paid in exchange for not having to buy a ticket. For Mr. Leo's fans, it was dryness. But other things must sometimes be parted with too, like time. To see Jimmy Buffett perform on the ''Today'' show's morning concert at Rockefeller Plaza last Friday, some fans arrived as early as 10 a.m. the previous day.
Dressed in straw hats, flip-flops and shirts with Hawaiian and drinking themes, they waited as long as 22 1/2 hours to see Mr. Buffett play exactly 20 minutes of music -- 17 minutes on the air and a 3-minute sound check.
As the show's anchors wrapped up their morning reports, the crowd -- 10,000 strong, NBC said -- was mostly silent, but once the cameras were on them, the fans turned the block from 48th to 49th Street into a raucous, boozy beach party with limbs in the air and the lyrics to ''Cheeseburger in Paradise'' shouted to the heavens. Even the people watching from the windows of the surrounding office towers were dancing. No matter your opinion of Mr. Buffett's music, do you think the place will be so fun when Norah Jones plays on July 30?
Of the dozen-plus concerts I attended, the most memorable were those with a dose of good-natured rowdiness. At SummerStage on Saturday afternoon Patti LaBelle led the outdoor house party for Gay Pride weekend. An hour before the concert the line was nearly 100 yards long, and not everybody got in, a common occurrence at the most popular shows at SummerStage, which has a capacity of 5,000.
The crowd that day, mostly black, gay and totally in love with Ms. LaBelle, cheered her on enthusiastically, whether she was belting out hits like ''On My Own'' and ''New Attitude'' or complaining about her menopausal hot flashes and insulin injections. They just seemed happy to be there.
That is a common sentiment among musicians as well. John Linnell of They Might Be Giants, beloved college-rock oddballs and Brooklyn boosters for going on two decades now, said of the Celebrate Brooklyn series, where his band will play for the third time on July 30, ''If there is an ultimate gig, that's certainly the candidate.''

JTA's Ron Kampeas reports on the brouhaha developing in Pennsylvania between Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak and the Emergency Committee for Israel:
Read more...
Anwar al Awlaki has been designated a terrorist by the Treasury Department.
Barack Obama will headline event for embattled Democratic Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias.
The Washington Post reports on the latest developments in the Emergency Committee for Israel/Joe Sestak brouhaha going on in Philadelphia:
Ben Smith reports on the Sestak campaign's attempt to prevent Comcast from airing the Emergency Committee for Israel's ad:
Was that poll showing Fiorina in the lead too good to be true?
The newly-formed Emergency Committee for Israel -- as Ben Smith reports here -- has just released its first ad, attacking Joe Sestak for his record on Israel. Here's the group's first spot:
Bill Clinton's had an awfully good week.
First, Al Gore gets embarrassed by Masseuse-gate.
And it makes Sestak look like a buffoon.
According to White House counsel Bob Bauer, Sestak was not offered a job as Secretary of the Navy--that job was given to Ray Mabus prior to Clinton's conversation with Sestak--but simply an uncompensated position "on a Presidential or other Senior Executive Branch Advisory Board."
Jennifer Rubin reminds us that Joe Sestak signed a letter regarding Gaza that "call[ed] for Israel to sacrifice its own security to allow materials into Gaza that could easily be converted to weaponry and could provide cover for smuggled weapons." Rubin correctly identifies that where a politician stands on the Gaza issue is definitive:
Yesterday, a Pennsylvania TV station reported that Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak still supports trying enemy combatants at Gitmo in U.S. civilian courts:
In The Promise, a sympathetic account of the Obama administration's first year, Jonathan Alter reports that the president attempted to entice troubled White House Counsel Greg Craig to gracefully exit the White House by offering him an appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. According to Alter, "the White House was anxious that the offer not leak, for fear it would look as if Obama were offering judgeships as consolation prizes." Deservedly so.
Earlier today, David Axelrod said on CNN that if Joe Sestak's allegation was true--that Sestak was offered a high-ranking administration job to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate race--it would "constitute a serious breach of the law." But don't worry, said Axelrod. White House lawyers say that nothing inappropriate happened, though Axelrod declined to say exactly what it was that happened.
Dick Durbin became the second high-profile Democrat to say that Sestak should come clean. "At some point I thing Congressman Sestak needs to make it clear what happened," said Durbin. Yesterday, Anthony Weiner said the White House should explain exactly what happened.
The Washington Post calls out the White House over its refusal to elaborate on Representative Joe Sestak's claim he was offered a job by the administration in return for backing out of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary. The editorial reads, in part:
Fred Barnes calls Tuesday's election an anti-Obama affair in today's Wall Street Journal:
How did big labor do in Tuesday's election? Not well, in two words. So poorly, indeed, that even the New York Times picked up on this angle: "On the Democratic side, organized labor, which invested millions into the races in Pennsylvania and Arkansas, did not achieve a victory in either state," the paper reported.

Forgive that pun, but it is clear that Kirsten Gillibrand, junior senator from New York, played an important role in fending off the Justice Department as it sought internal research conducted by Philip Morris that proved a connection between cigarettes and cancer—a causation rebuked by tobacco executives in testimony before Congress in 1994.
Has there been any good news in recent days? Robert Scheer thinks so and says why on this week's "Left, Right & Center." Arianna Huffington, meanwhile, has some questions about Barack Obama's economic decisions, while Tony Blankley wonders if there aren't too many banking types in the new government.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this weekend made her first visit to China in her new role, but Amnesty International and other activist groups didn't like her position when it came to addressing China's treatment of dissidents—more specifically, she didn't take a firm stand on the issue during her meetings with Chinese officials.
United States Congress
Caroline Kennedy she ain't. On Friday, New York Gov. David Paterson tapped Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to take over the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

What's a former secretary of state to do once her time in the White House runs out? In Condoleezza Rice's case, the next step in the "reinvention and evolution" of her professional life involves signing on at the William Morris Agency, according to Variety.

It's official: Caroline Kennedy will not continue her quest for the Senate seat vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Kennedy reportedly told New York Gov. David Paterson on Wednesday that she was dropping out, and although he asked her to think it over for 24 hours she sent out an e-mail minutes after midnight saying she had withdrawn. Updated
One of the cardinal rules for any politician or spouse thereof must be: Don't ever ad-lib on "Oprah." Jill Biden found this out during a taping of Winfrey's show on Monday when she let it slip that Barack Obama initially offered Joe Biden either the vice president position or that of secretary of state.

Well, Hillary Clinton will have to wait a little longer, but seven others whom President Barack Obama tapped to join his Cabinet had gotten the all-clear from the Senate as of Tuesday afternoon.

The war in Gaza has taken on another deadly dimension, as Israeli troops have moved into several districts of Gaza City, the BBC reported Tuesday, sparking street fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants.

Hillary Clinton began the first phase of her official vetting session for the position of secretary of state Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill, where she made opening remarks and faced her peers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as they took a close look at her credentials—and her husband's globe-trotting fundraising activities.

Caroline Kennedy, at the very least, has her own vote when it comes to who she thinks would be the best pick for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat in the likely event that the New York Democrat is officially approved as Barack Obama's secretary of state.

If reporting is, as I suspect, a record of mankind's folly, then the end of 2008 is proving my point.
You know it's the end of the year when all those predictable fun lists start coming out. This one is among the more creative: Gawker has put together a memorable pastiche of the year's top feuds, starting with an unexpected ambush on NYT columnist Thomas Friedman.
It seems inevitable that Caroline Kennedy would eventually follow the siren call of politics to the point of making her own bid for a Senate seat. It's even more fitting that, if she is selected by New York Gov. David A. Paterson, Kennedy will inherit the post from Sen. Hillary Clinton, a member of another Democratic dynasty.
A key member of Barack Obama's past and future team of aides has learned the hard way that "transparency" cuts both ways when it comes to the potential for evidence of one's moments of private revelry—or tomfoolery—to travel far and wide on the Internet in a flash.

I do so want to believe that Barack Obama is on the right track. His brain is big, his style fresh, his pronouncements both logical and compelling, and it does feel good to have a president-elect elicit universal respect rather than make the world cringe.
What a difference a couple of months makes! Any acrimony between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that bubbled up on the campaign trail last spring has apparently evaporated, judging by these clips from Monday morning's news conference/love-in featuring both senators.
As expected, President-elect Barack Obama named Sen. Hillary Clinton as his choice for secretary of state and gave Robert Gates the opportunity to continue his work as secretary of defense—just two in a series of high-powered nominations Obama announced Monday.
This week's episode of "Left, Right & Center" focuses on the economy, of course, with specific attention to the challenges facing the auto industry. Meanwhile, President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet is taking shape and, once again, Hillary Clinton occupies center stage.
It's not entirely clear whether this represents cause for encouragement or alarm, but there are some from the right and even far-right reaches of the U.S. political scene who applaud Barack Obama's rumored choice of Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state.
A source from within President-elect Barack Obama's transition team said Thursday that Obama is "on track" to tap Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state after Thanksgiving, according to the Associated Press.
What's to be done to pull the U.S. out of economic quicksand? You can bet that "Left, Right & Center" stalwarts Robert Scheer, Tony Blankley and Matt Miller might differ in their takes on this question, as well as others posed on this week's show.

Let me describe what happened in my interview with Gore Vidal for Vanity Fair's Spanish edition and why I felt compelled to report what was, in my experience, the single most shockingly racist line of the 2008 presidential election campaign.

Sightings of Hillary Clinton in Chicago on Thursday, coupled with reports from inside Barack Obama's camp, added weight to the rumors that the president-elect is considering his former rival as a Cabinet member—secretary of state.
Zuade Kaufman / Truthdig
Gore Vidal, racist? Au contraire, the renowned author asserts in this response to a recent piece on The Huffington Post that claimed Vidal had a problem with Barack Obama's bid for the White House because of the president-elect's race.
After enduring many grueling weeks of campaigning and three tense debates, John McCain and Barack Obama turned up in tuxes for Thursday night's Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to cut loose and try out some lighter material on a crowd ready to laugh, and they laughed as well—at themselves and (especially) at each other.

William Kristol was becoming apoplectic, Hillary Clinton was sounding optimistic, and the McCain campaign was being perhaps a tad unrealistic—or so read Monday's political barometer as an ABC/Washington Post poll indicated that the Obama campaign had taken a 10-point lead in the presidential race.
All right, now this is getting ridiculous. None other than Ryan Seacrest has managed to insert himself into the political mix by scoring a phone interview with Hillary Clinton on his radio show Friday. What'll it be next, the Obamas and the Bidens sit down with the preternaturally perky Mary Hart on "Entertainment Tonight?" Oh, wait ... never mind.
Former President Bill Clinton braved the deceptively comfy-looking couch on the set of "The View" to sit for a chat with Barbara Walters and her deceptively bubbly-seeming quartet of co-hosts, who are suddenly in the catbird seat in terms of landing the big political interviews after their headline-grabbing session with John McCain on Sept. 12.
During a campaign stop in Blaine, Minn., on Friday, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin lamented that neither she nor Hillary Clinton would be able to attend next week's anti-Iran rally in New York City and vowed that she and GOP presidential hopeful John McCain "will not waver in our commitment" to prevent Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from obtaining nuclear weapons and potentially starting "a second Holocaust."
On Friday, ABC aired another set of excerpts of the interviews of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by the journalist her team picked to pose the questions, Charlie Gibson. In these clips, Palin appears slightly more relaxed than she was the previous day, but some of her answers still were fuzzy, especially when it came to whether her personal views on certain issues would influence her policy decisions.

Last spring, it seemed like tug of war over the Democratic presidential nomination would never end, but now that seems part of the distant past, as Barack Obama enters the final stretch leading to November's election. Luckily, his relations with Bill Clinton appear to have improved over time, and the former president now says he's willing to roll up his sleeves to help Obama's campaign however he can.
AP photo: Charlie Neibergall / Charles Dharapak
Hillary Clinton is doing another campaign push for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, but she's apparently being careful not to take on Republican VP hopeful Sarah Palin in any way that might signal "cat fight" to those media types watching for any hint of such a conflict between Clinton and Palin.
In Friday's New York Times article about whether Hillary Clinton will go to the mat against Sarah Palin, a woman delegate at the GOP convention says, "I just bet Hillary was watching Sarah's speech on TV Wednesday night and cheering, 'You go, girl!' " Really?
Consider this the only gender-bias-in-the-media primer you'll ever need, and a handy reminder to the Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris types (not to mention Monsieur Rove) that gender bias cuts both ways—and sometimes, as Jon Stewart points out, the same people do the cutting without seeming to remember just a few short weeks later.
AP photo / Matt Sayles
In what was perhaps the most highly anticipated (and no doubt the most highly scrutinized) moment of his political career thus far, newly nominated Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was saddled with a huge task Thursday night, but by the end, Obama had both thrown down the gauntlet and risen to the occasion—at least in the eyes of thousands of supporters who came to see his history-making acceptance speech at Denver's Invesco Field.
According to a one-line report on CNN, a "source close to former President Bill Clinton" has tipped off the news network that, unlike Hillary, Bill Clinton will be conspicuously absent from the crowd watching soon-to-be-official Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday.
Once more we prepare to honor our foremothers by celebrating the anniversary of the passage of women's suffrage.

Once strongly in favor of Hillary Clinton, actress and chanteuse Barbra Streisand says her switch to supporting Barack Obama was instantaneous when Clinton pulled out of the presidential race, and that other Clinton supporters should back the Illinois senator instead of throwing their vote to Republican John McCain in protest.

Politics is a cruel and disappointing business. This year, Democratic liberals gambled on a young man who offered hope and change. But after those wondrous primary days, they are furious over Sen. Barack Obama's understandable effort to reach out to an electorate that is, and long has been, planted firmly in the middle of the road.

Watching the couples in line for licenses in Beverly Hills on the first day of gay marriage in California, I was struck by how the scene was so commonplace, even boring—just a bunch of men and women waiting their turn at a nondescript government office.

Hillary Clinton will be joining her erstwhile rival, Barack Obama, for a week of campaign support as he ramps up his efforts to defeat John McCain in November's presidential elections. Clinton will kick off her tandem tour with Obama June 27 in a bid to repair lingering rifts within Democratic circles.
Michelle Obama visited "The View" on Wednesday, and, following a round of fist bumps with the show's starring lineup (as well as a few jokes about the "terrorist fist jab" of Fox News fame), Obama addressed some of the rumors and criticisms that have circulated about her recently and weighed in about whether Hillary Clinton should be her husband's running mate.
AP photo / Carolyn Kaster, file
Why not Hillary? Not my first choice—Al Gore is—but I find all of the pro-and-con debate about Hillary Rodham Clinton to be beside the point. She is, as Barack Obama said, likable enough, and the Dems are not likely to pick anyone better.
AP photo / Mel Evans, File
During the final stages of Hillary Clinton's campaign, a common refrain emerged among some of her more ardent supporters: If Barack Obama wins the nomination, we're backing John McCain. Now that the dust has settled somewhat after Clinton's concession, Obama is working to clarify the differences between his positions and McCain's when it comes to issues that impact the lives of female voters.
The uneasy love affair between celebrity and politics continued late last week with a change of camps by former Hillary Clinton booster Barbra Streisand, who has officially made a lateral move to endorse Barack Obama. Babs' fans are still waiting to hear if la Streisand will pipe up for the Illinois senator this summer as part of her pro-Obama plans.
Hillary Clinton formally stepped off the long road to the White House on Saturday, at least in terms of seeking the presidency herself, by standing before a throng of supporters in Washington, D.C., and announcing she was suspending her campaign. She congratulated former rival Barack Obama and asked the gathered well-wishers "to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me."
Regardless of the end result of her efforts, Hillary Clinton has endured a grueling trial by fire in recent months in her historic bid for the presidency. The Nation's Katha Pollitt points out the gains she believes Clinton made for women in and beyond the strictly political realm, arguing that " ... Women and men of every party and candidate preference, and every ethnicity too, owe Hillary Clinton a standing ovation, even if they can't stand her."

Thread: Gloria?
May 10th, 2013 12:23 PM #11
Gloria is my mother's name and my daughter and I love it! She, on the other hand, thinks its old-fashioned which makes it perfect for today's moms.
I think it is one of those names ready for a revival but it will never reach the popularity levels that other old-fashioned names like Emma and Sophia have.
If you decide to use it, let me know. I would be tickled to know. By the way, our Gloria is know as Glo, Googie or GiGi. I am not crazy about Glory.
May 10th, 2013 03:03 PM #13
I didn't even think about the religious aspect of it. It's really just 'Glory' in Latin, though. Personally I'm not religious, but I was raised Catholic, so the association doesn't bother me.
Yeah, most of the Glorias I know are older. There's one in my family, but I've never actually met her, which is another reason I like it; it won't conflict with family members' names.I'm not feeling incredibly profound at the moment. Check back later.

I grew up with a Gloria (cousin). She's in her late 20s now. It does feel rather dated, but dated is in right now. I know my love of Francine and Matilda can't really be explained. In my cousin's case, we called her Loli and Lola growing up. She now prefers her full name. Glory, Ori, Lori or even Glo would also be nice nicknames. I never realized all the nn potential in Gloria!

I named this image "Touched by Grace". I shot this amazing scene from the Appalachian Trail at Jane's Bald looking over Roan Mountain. With the mix of great light on the grassy bald in the mid-ground, the rhododendron flowers at peak bloom, rays of light raining down over the mountains, and the nice leading lines throughout the image, I thought this landscape scene was just incredible!

I have non-Thunderbolt MBP now... If I get this for my current Mac, will this monitor somehow work with a Thunderbolt-equipped when I get one?
I currently have a 2010 MacBook Pro that doesn't have Thunderbolt. If I get this monitor to connect to my current MBP, then I upgrade to a newer, Thunderbolt-equipped later, with this monitor connect to my TB Mac by some method so I can still use it as a monitor (regardless of the TB-specific features)? I ask because I need a second monitor now but likely won't be upgrading my computer for a year or two. I have heard how long these monitors can last and am hoping I can continue using it after I upgrade given how expensive it is.
- Asked by Neil B from Victoria
Refurbished Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Yes. Thunderbolt in the latest MBP utilizes the same physical plug as mini-Displayport that this monitor has as its video cable. More importantly, Thunderbolt output from the latest MBP is also technically designed to pass the Displayport video signal through to monitors such as this one that does out have a Thunderbolt connection.
The other way around is what is not possible...there is no way to connect a non-Thunderbolt MBP (or any other computer for that matter) to a Thunderbolt 27" display because Thunderbolt Cinema Display's Thunderbolt video input can only handle an income Thunderbolt video signal and it has no other video inputs.
- Answered by Andrew C from Santa Cruz
I had the same concern before buying my MacBook Air. In short the answer is yes, you will not have a problem. I actually went to the Mac store and walked through all the possible combinations with an Apple employee. The final results are summarized here:

ACHS evolved from the distance education department of the South Pacific College of Natural Therapeutics (SPCNT), an on-campus naturopathic college in Auckland, New Zealand. Dorene Petersen, a graduate of SPCNT, was selected to head this department in 1976. In 1978, SPCNT proposed closing the department due to an internal change in direction. To provide a teach-out opportunity to the SPCNT distance-learning students, and with the blessings of SPCNT, Dorene founded ACHS (at that time Australasian College of Herbal Studies … more on our name change later!). From these small beginnings, ACHS has continued to flourish!
Since its inception in 1978, ACHS has remained an industry leader, well respected worldwide for its distance education holistic health programs. The name Australasian reflected the geographical nature of the student body at the time, encompassing New Zealand, Australia, and the South Pacific islands.

More Information
Texas Furniture Makers Show
When: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. Sundays, through Nov. 31
Where: Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, 228 Earl Garrett, Kerrville
Tickets: Free; kacckerrville.com
Art hasn't just been something to hang on the wall for quite some time. Just as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is exhibiting the century-old furniture designs of Koloman Moser, contemporary craftsmen from around the state are displaying their custom pieces at the 14th annual Texas Furniture Makers Show in Kerrville.
The Kerr Arts and Cultural Center will host 36 Texas artisans displaying and selling their work during November. The show includes a juried competition that will be judged by Fine Woodworking editor Asa Christiana, furniture designer Jeff Miller and Emmy Award-winning designer Omar Angel Perez.
"It was originally done as a way of really putting focus on the furniture makers in a gallery-type setting, to have the furniture appear as artwork because that's what it is. These finely crafted, one-of-a-kind designs, they are just beautiful, functional fine-art furniture," said Debbie Minns, the center's executive director.
Miller will present a workshop on Nov. 9, and the awards will be presented the same day, although Minns said anyone interesting in buying items should know that the best pieces often have "sold" stickers on them days before the ceremony.
"We want to bring these furniture makers together so that they can learn from each other and be encouraged to move their craft toward a higher form of excellence, and that has definitely been achieved over the years," Minns said. "We've seen many of the same makers come back year after year and grow in their craft."

there were like 16 total made, 7 for humans, 5 for elves, and 3 for dwarves, then the one ring, i think

3 were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. 7 to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And 9, 9 rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power.
