UNITED NATIONS — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the United States a "great" nation Friday in a sharp reversal from his predecessors and expressed hope that at the very least the two governments can stop the escalation of tensions.
Wrapping up his first trip to the United States as Iran's new leader, Rouhani said President Barack Obama struck a new tone in his U.N. speech this week, which he welcomed.
He said he believes the first step to a meeting between the two leaders was taken Thursday at a meeting on Iran's nuclear program, where the foreign ministers of both nations talked for the first time in six years. The White House announced Friday afternoon that Rouhani and Obama spoke on the phone.
"I want it to be the case that this trip will be a first step, and a beginning for better and constructive relations with countries of the world as well as a first step for a better relationship between the two great nations of Iran and the United States of America," Rouhani told a press conference at a hotel near U.N. headquarters.
Iran and the United States have traded harsh rhetoric for years.
During the 1979 Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile, seized power and declared the U.S., which was a strong supporter of the ousted Shah of Iran, the "Great Satan." He set the tone for Iranian officials who came after him. The U.S. was equally critical, with then-President George W. Bush, in his 2002 State of the Union address, declaring Iran part of his "axis of evil" along with North Korea and Iraq.
Rouhani, looking to the future of U.S.-Iranian relations, expressed hope that "the views of our people, the understanding of each other, will grow, and at the level of the two governments that at the very least we can, as a first step, stop further escalation of tensions and then reduce tension as a next step and then pave the way for achieving of mutual interests."
The Iranian president was upbeat about his four-day visit to New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly's ministerial session, reeling off a long list of leaders he met and saying "I believe that our success was greater than our expectation, especially with the European countries ... and I think that the path really has been paved to expand relations in various centers, key world economies."

BEAUMONT – After seeing its streak of six consecutive championships halted last year in Beaumont by rival McNeese State, the Lamar men's cross country team will look to repay the favor on Friday as the Southland Conference Championships in Lake Charles.
The men, led by 2012 All-American Matt Johnsen, are the most successful team in the conference's history, taking home the silverware a record 11 times, including every season from 2006-2011. Johnsen, who is the only current athlete to on the recently-released SLC's 50th Anniversary team, will be looking for his third team title and first individual crown. The Australian has been an annual top five finisher in the event, ending a career-best second in 2011.
The junior duo Ryan Creech and Sam Stabler have been to the conference's mountaintop, as both were also a part of the 2011 title. Stabler was named Freshman of the Year following that season's race.
Ash Harrell, who missed out last year's season due to injury, has been one of the top runners this season for the Cardinals, and he'll be looking for a strong finish as well this weekend. He'll be joined by fellow graduate student Mike Kershaw as well as freshmen Sean Guiney and Sean Chalmers.
On the women's side, Leigh Lattimore has been the leader among a strong crop of newcomers, as the Lady Cards aim for their first title since taking home three in a row from 2004-06. The graduate student out of England posted a fifth-place finish in the loaded Notre Dame Invitational field, and she's expected to go toe-to-toe with fellow conference standout Brooke Cassar out of Central Arkansas.
Kayla de Bondt, Megan Flanagan and Belinda Aguilar are also expected to run on Friday.
Hannah Alderson, who competed at the World Cross Country Championships last year, is slated to make her team debut. The England native has missed much of the season due to injury, and has only competed once this season, running as an individual in the open race at Notre Dame.
Both races on Friday will be held at the Ward 3 Recreational Complex in Lake Charles. The six-kilometer women's race will start at 8:30 a.m., and the eight-kilometer men's event is scheduled to follow at 9:30 a.m.

A support rally for 14-year-old Jared Marcum was renamed a victory rally Friday following disclosure that criminal charges had been dropped against him on Thursday.
Marcum was charged with obstructing following an incident in April over a National Rifle Association (NRA) t-shirt with the wording "Protect your right" and a picture of a gun that he had worn to attend classes at Logan Middle School. Charges against Marcum were dropped by the Prosecuting Attorney's Office on Thursday.
A small crowd gathered in front of the Logan Courthouse where a truck displaying a banner "Sons of the Second Logan County" was parked. Emceeing the rally was Shaun Adkins.
There were several speakers during the rally, which lasted almost an hour. Two speakers came from out of state to attend, Wayne Dupree of Maryland and Shannon Wright of New Jersey. Dupree is described as a conservative blogger, radio host and founder of the News Ninja website. Wright is described as a pastor, community activist, blogger and webcast program host and someone who takes interest in constitutional matters.
First to speak was Marcum's stepfather, Allen Lardieri.
"People, we are under invasion," Lardieri began. "I've spoken with several parents who contacted me with stories like you wouldn't believe."
Lardieri said events like Marcum's happening on the average 12 times a month. Reports of children being suspended for bringing a squirt gun to school, bring cupcakes to school with images of army soldiers and for drawing a picture of his father, who is in the military service, holding a rifle.
"The worse one I have heard so far is the hearing impaired kid, a kid by the name of Hunter, is asked to have his name changed because the universal sign for his name is this motion," Lardieri said, as he formed his hand into the shape of a pistol.
Lardieri said that there is a systematic invasion going on in our educational system.
"Controlling the school system is called social engineering," Lardieri said. "It is instilling and forcing the mindset on a youth so that as they grow up it becomes their ideology.
Lardieri urged parents to talk with their children and to keep abreast of what was going on with them at school and what they were being taught.
"Watch, be observant and listen to your kids," Lardieri said. "We are under invasion. Be ever vigilant, be vocal and let the school board know 'no' we don't want you social engineering our kids. We don't want you to take away our (parents) values and put in your own. Just stick with the curriculum."
Adkins then told the crowd that he had been told that it wasn't very appropriate for Marcum to have worn that shirt to school.
"Let me ask you this… are you going to ban the West Virginia University mascot on shirts in schools? What are we going to do about the West Virginia state flag? Are we going to ban the flag from schools because it has cross rifles on it?" Adkins said. "The Marine emblem, the Army emblem… they all depict rifles."
Dupree said that Marcum should not have gone through what he went through.
"The liberals have decided they can do what they want to because our voice is small," Dupree said. "…we need to take back our schools. We need to take back jobs. We need to take back our churches. We need to take back our lives. Because right now, the Democrats, the liberals — even some Republicans — think they can infringe on our rights. Our rights shall not be infringed."
Dupree said Marcum stood for freedom of speech and an attempt was made to shut him up.
"We cannot accept that, and just because the charges have been dropped doesn't mean that it isn't going to happen to somebody else," Dupree said. "That's why this is important today."
Dupree said that our children are being destroyed.
"They are doing it through pop culture, they are doing it with these reality shows and they're doing it through their music," Dupree said.
Dupree said what had happened in Logan was a template.
"America needs to see this template. You all stood behind Jared and the more cities and towns see you standing up then they will stand up," Dupree said. "Show America that we stand together… and that we are going to stand together to protect this country."
Delegate Joshua Nelson was the next to speak. Nelson said he became involved in the Marcum incident because of his son.
"How is it going to be in 10 years when my boy is 14? If some teacher tries to tell my boy to turn his 'protect your rights' t-shirt inside out, that isn't going to fly with me," Nelson said.
Nelson told the crowd to stand up, get involved, and stay involved.
"And the next time they try to tell a 14-year-old kid he can't stand for his Constitutional right, they will think twice," Nelson said.
Also attending the rally was Sean Dill with the West Virginia Civilian Defense League (WVCDL). The WVCDL describes itself as "West Virginia's largest pro-gun lobbying group, is a non-partisan, non-profit, all-volunteer, grassroots organization of concerned West Virginians who support our individual right to keep and bear arms for defense of self, family, home and state, and for lawful hunting and recreational use, as guaranteed by Article III, §22 of the West Virginia Constitution and the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States."
"This past year has been huge for gun rights. We've had ups and we've had downs," Dill said. "We got a record number of pro gun bills signed into law… five pro gun bills are now law."
Dills said that every time a tragedy happens that involves a firearm, like the Connecticut shootings, anti-gun "vultures" that start stand on top of the dead people's bodies and use them to push their agenda.
"Vultures like our own Joe Manchin. Hours after this tragedy, he gets his ugly mug on TV, he says now nobody needs more than three shells in their rifle for deer hunting," Dill said. "You know what Joe? It's not about deer hunting, brother. Not one line in the Second Amendment mentions deer."
Dills, recalling the numerous accounts of children being suspended from school, said he was glad that he lived in West Virginia.
"I used to be glad I like in West, by God, Virginia, because that won't happen in my state," Dill said. "Folks, I am here today because it did happen here. This time the anti-gun folks I mentioned is the Logan County school board. Now we have a teacher and city officials harassing a 14-year-old boy all because he wore a shirt they didn't agree with. They are threatening his future, his prospects for a job, for college."
Following Dill was Pastor Wright who urged the crowd to what was correct.
"My Bible says marriage is between a man and a woman. My Bible says parents raise their children. We teach children from a young age which way to go and when they get older they will not depart. It does not say sent them to school to be indoctrinated with a whole bunch of stuff that you know is not right," Wright said. "As Americans, as parents, as people… we have too… it is imperative, that we stand up and do what we know to be correct. Not politically correct, but biblically and constitutionally correct."
Marcum's attorney, Ben White, was the final speaker.
"Yesterday was a great day for Jared. Yesterday was a great day for all of you," White said. "Frankly, we couldn't have done it without all of the support from people like you and all the different groups. We really, really appreciate your support and your continued fight."
White said Thursday's decision by prosecutors brought closure to what, in his opinion, was ridiculous charges over a 14-year-old who was just trying to explain his side of the story.
"The big fight begins today. We want, mostly, for your continued fight for Jared and his family and our office and our fight to take this to the school board to deal with policy issues…," White said.
White said he had watched the video of the incident several times with Jared's family and with the news media.
"Jared didn't act out. We have witnesses that may collaborate that," White said.
Marcum did not make a public appearance.

HAZARD – Coal production was down approximately 30 percent in Kentucky's Eastern Coalfields in 2012, and the region's coal counties are now dealing with what that will mean for their budgets.
The fiscal court in Knott County this week approved a sweeping measure to shore up a $900,000 shortfall in the county budget. The measure included up to 25 percent cuts and a reduction in insurance contributions.
Knott County's shortfall was discovered after officials determined that the county was operating with an unbalanced budget in their Local Government Economic Assistance (LGEA) fund, money that comes from the amount of coal and minerals produced in the county.
According to an estimate released by the Department for Local Government (DLG) in Frankfort, a handful of eastern coal counties can expect to see LGEA shortfalls of more than $1 million. For counties where these revenues can make up a third of the overall budget, these types of cuts have the potential to have very costly effects.
For its part, the DLG estimates that Perry County, one of the state's top coal producers, could potentially see a loss of more than $930,000 this fiscal year. Perry County Judge-Executive Denny Ray Noble noted that despite the coal industry's downturn, the county's budget is currently on sound footing because the fiscal court approved a budget last summer that took into account an expected drop in coal production. He said he doesn't expect any mid-year complications.
"We're in fine shape," Noble said, adding that some of the measures he adopted included a declination on any new borrowing. "I've not went after any bonding. I've tried to get rid of those bonds and tried to stay in shape for this, because I seen this coming."
Officials elsewhere are making or considering hard decisions as the DLG has estimated significant losses in other counties. Letcher and Floyd counties could each see a drop of $1.1 million, while Bell and Martin could see a drop of well over $250,000.
Floyd County at present has only five active coal mines, said Judge-Executive R.D. "Doc" Marshall. That's a significant decrease over just 10 years ago when there were approximately 40 mines in operation. As a result, Marshall said, it isn't hard to determine why county officials are closely monitoring every expenditure.
"We're just sort of watching our spending," he said. "We're trying our best to put the material where it needs to be."
So far, he added, Floyd County has not had to make any major cutbacks, but a significant cut in coal revenues could also affect funding for the county's 16 fire departments and other special allocations.
This downturn in Eastern Kentucky will mean counties may have to approach their budgets in a different manner than before. For Knott County, Magistrate Calvin Waddles said officials there will need not only to address spending, but also how their budget is crafted and how coal revenues are considered.
"The first solution to this problem (in Knott County) is stop out-of-control spending," Waddles said. "Second of all, is to build a budget that doesn't depend on coal severance."
Andrew Hartley is a DLG attorney and addressed the Knott County Fiscal Court last month regarding the shortfall there. Though the numbers for most counties aren't in yet, he expects that considering the drop in coal production and what that means for the budgets of coal-producing counties, there is a real potential for problems in the near future.
"I think there has been a roughly 30 percent drop in coal revenues in these first two quarters of the (fiscal) year," he said. "We're anticipating an effect. Absolutely."
In Knott County, officials are simply working to approve a balanced budget in compliance with state law, said Magistrate Jamie Mosley, but they also know there could be even deeper cuts in the future if the coal industry's downturn continues.
"If coal continues to drop," Mosley said, "it's not looking good for Knott County."

I have this thing about plum tone reds, or purple or plum toned anything really, so I had to get this and I most definitely wasn't disappointed. This is a wonderfully rich color and definitely holds up to its title of moisturizing, which is a real plus in my book.

So I will admit, I do wear this shade when I'm having my diva days, but it's in the name so hey, who can blame me? This most definitely what I call a 'hollywood' shade of red. The color is bright compared to Cockney, but that's what makes the two stand apart in the MAC red family. One is more hollywood and the other more sultry, in my opinion. Either way, I'm more then happy to have this in my makeup bag.

Three officers with the Aiken Department of Public Safety have been recognized by the city and the state for showing bravery in the face of danger during a deadly incident in May.
Capt. Marty Sawyer, Sgt. Craig Burgess and Officer Steve Miano were awarded the Medal of Valor by the S.C. State Law Enforcement Officers Association at an award ceremony last month. They were honored again by Aiken City Council last week.
According to the association's website, the medal honors "an act of outstanding bravery performed in the line of duty at imminent personal hazard to life under circumstances demonstrating a disregard of personal consequences."
Sawyer, Burgess and Miano did that the morning of May 17, when authorities responded to a domestic disturbance call on Cherry Hills Drive, according to Sgt. Jake Mahoney.
Dispatchers heard a female victim say the man, her husband, had a gun, Mahoney said. The dispatchers then heard gunshots, and the woman stopped speaking.
"We had numerous Public Safety officers and sheriff's deputies respond to the scene and immediately establish a perimeter around the house and try to make contact with the occupants," Mahoney said. "It was decided entry was necessary to protect the victim."
That's when Sawyer, Burgess and Miano volunteered for the dangerous task.
"We just happened to be in the position that allowed us to make that decision," said Sawyer, who today celebrates 23 years with Aiken Public Safety. "Any other law enforcement officer that would have been in our position at the time would have been willing to go in. That's the type of people that we work with and that work with the Sheriff's Office."
Several officers approached the home, but Sawyer said only three could enter the door.
As the officers entered the home, a man lying several feet away from the front door fired shots at them, Mahoney said. A ballistic shield was the only thing protecting the officers, who returned fire.
Sawyer said that was his first time being fired upon by a suspect.
The suspect was later identified as Craig Jarvis, 64. He was lying next to his ex-wife, 68-year-old Lynn Carlisle, who was already dead.
Jarvis was rushed to Georgia Health Sciences University, where he later died while undergoing surgery for multiple gunshot wounds. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton later determined that Jarvis had killed his ex-wife, then shot himself just before opening fire on the officers responding to his wife's 911 pleas.
Autopsy results returned from the probe into Jarvis' death did not show conclusively if his death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound or from returned police gunfire, Carlton said, in June. Jarvis' death was ruled a suicide.
"We received nominations from all across the state, but the Aiken group had gone to extreme measures to do the job they were supposed to," said Jarrod Bruder, executive director of the Law Enforcement Officers Association.
The association is a non-profit organization with about 7,200 members across the state representing the municipal, county, state and federal levels. According to Bruder, a six-member committee of people from each of those levels reviewed the submissions for the Medal of Valor Award and chose the Aiken officers.
"That makes it even more special, that it's a group of their peers," he said.
Sawyer expressed regret that lives were still lost on May 17 but acknowledged that each of the dozen or so officers who put themselves in danger that morning made it home safely at the end of the day.
"Our goal is to do the best we can at work but to go home and have all of our colleagues go home safe every day while protecting the citizens of Aiken," Sawyer said.
At the ceremony in Myrtle Beach last month, the entire assembly gave a standing ovation when the Aiken officers were recognized. Sawyer and his colleagues learned they'd received the honor just days before the ceremony.

Story by Adam Stephens
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team won its conference opener against Georgia Southern in a 7-0 shutout at the Champions Club today. The Mocs are on a five match winning streak with an overall 9-2 record for the season.
Chattanooga controlled the courts all day with three doubles wins and six singles wins for a dominating conference premiere. It was the first win in a SoCon opener for the Mocs since 2002.
"With the first conference match, there are a few nerves in the beginning, but I think we played our way through it," head coach Jeff Clark said. "To win all three doubles and all six singles is tough to do in any match and especially in a toughly contested conference match, and we're happy with the win."
Sophomore Katie Polk found the strength to battle back at number six singles against Smith. After losing five consecutive games, Polk won seven in a row to win the set and only gave up one more in the second set for the (7-5, 6-1) victory.
Junior Kaylene Chadwell was able to make up for her loss on the road last year when she defeated Klein (6-1, 6-4).
"Kaylene Chadwell beat a girl that beat her last year so it was nice to see her get the rematch today," Clark said. "She played really well."
With this win over Georgia Southern, Chattanooga's women's tennis team now has five shutout wins at home for the season along with an undefeated home stand.
Chattanooga will continue in Conference play on Wednesday when they play Davidson on the road. They will be back home on Saturday March 22 to face Appalachian State.

"Momentum was the key today," Clark said. "We jumped on them pretty quickly at one and two doubles. Number three doubles were down but they clawed back and ended up getting a nice win. In singles, any time you have to doubles point, and you get all six first sets, it gives you momentum and it makes it tough for the opponent to feel like they have to really come back from a huge deficit."
"I thought Katie Polk had a nice comeback at number six singles," Clark said. "Down five and winning 12 of the next 13 games."

After last week's major update for Live Search (which is now live for everyone), Yahoo updated its search engine. Like Microsoft, "Yahoo said the upgrade was the most significant yet since it dumped Google's search technology in February 2004 in favor of its own," according to LA Times.
Yahoo's search engine has less new things to show than Live Search. Yahoo introduced its own version of "universal search" by adding video previews and images from Flickr inside search results and by updating its impressive list of smart answers. Yahoo shows embedded video players for results from YouTube, Metacafe, Yahoo Video.
The new search assistant is somewhat similar to Google Suggest: it auto-completes your query. But unlike Google Suggest, it's supposed to show up only when you want to or when you need it. If you type some letters from a word and then stop for a couple of seconds, a new box opens and shows some suggestions. In the left side you'll see some popular ways to finish your query, while in the right side Yahoo expands your current query. You can select one of the suggestions or continue to type, while the list of suggestions updates. So this a combination between auto-complete and related searches, introduced for the first time by Ask.com. The only improvement made by Yahoo is that the assistant is not visible all the time.
The search assistant can be deactivate by clicking on the small "Off" link and manually triggered by clicking on the arrow located underneath the search box. Unfortunately, by trying to be useful, the search assistant is also annoying for some users. Here's one negative feedback from Yahoo's discussion board:
"Get rid of any of the so-called assistants. They take up space on the screen, slow down processes and insult everyone's [intelligence]."
Yahoo explains their new philosophy (my emphasis):
"The whole point is we want to get you from "to do" to "done." Whatever it is you want to do: research a topic, find a website, plan a vacation, research a medical condition, view a funny video, or any of the other billions of queries we get from users -- their intents expressed via a few keywords in a search box. One thing we've learned since launching our own algorithmic search engine back in 2004 is that at the end of the day, people really don't want to search; they want to get things done."
Obviously, searching is just a mean and not an aim in itself. But sometimes the search, the path to your aim is more interesting than the end-result. That's why, search engines should make this process more intuitive and more appealing.
All in all, it's clear that the most innovative search interface for this year was Ask 3D as it inspired many updates in Yahoo Search and Windows Live, while paving the way to mixing heterogeneous search results.

Tommy Jones, formerly of Van and Madison, now residing in Alkol, killed a 200 pound wild pig with his bow on October 23rd in the Spruce Laurel area. This is Tommy's first wild pig kill. Tommy and a friend retrieved the wild pig with little difficulty.
Meanwhile, the buck and antlerless gun seasons opened Monday.
Local hunters no doubt have their tree stands and camouflage ready to go as the opening of West Virginia's traditional antlered (buck) gun season arrives on Monday, Nov. 19.
According to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the Division of Natural Resources (DNR), West Virginia's buck gun season provides a wealth of recreational opportunities for resident and nonresident hunters and has a tremendous economic impact on the state's economy. It was also noted that the 2012 buck gun season continues until Dec. 1.
"Hunters should enjoy a great deer season in 2012," said Taylor. "Because our traditional November firearms deer season opens the Monday before Thanksgiving every year, the season opening can be as early November 19 and as late as November 25. This year is one of the early opening years, which is closer to the peak deer rut. This date gives hunters an advantage because bucks are more vulnerable to being harvested closer to the rut."
"Hunters can harvest an additional buck with the purchase of the appropriate stamp," Taylor added about the 2012 season. According to the DNR, resident hunters wanting the extra buck should purchase the Class RG stamp, which must be purchased prior to the beginning of the season. The cost of the stamp is $21, and must be accompanied by a Class A and CS, A-L, AB-L, X, XS, XJ or free license.
It was also reported by the DNR that resident landowners have the privilege of harvesting an extra buck without purchasing the RG stamp if they are hunting on their own property. Nonresident hunters wanting an extra buck must purchase a RRG stamp prior to the beginning of the season, and the cost is $43. The RRG stamp must also be accompanied by the Class E or XXJ license. It was also stated that nonresident hunters who own land in West Virginia are not exempt from purchasing a license or the extra buck stamp, even if hunting on their own property.
For more information on any deer hunting season regulations and licenses, hunters should consult the 2012–2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations and Summary available at license agents and at www.wvdnr.gov.

The adapter continues the prod tradition of not working with cases...another 5mm shaved off that big, blocky housing would have made it fit with just about any case.
Lightning to 30-pin Adapters hands-on
While Apple managed to ship the iPhone 5 to dozens of countries within the span of a couple weeks, it's taken almost a month to get the 30-pin Dock to Lightning connector adapters shipped and into stores. So, now that they're here, how are they?
Okay. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
The dongle isn't really small enough to avoid being annoying, but that's what you get when you need something to translate the new, all-digital Lightning signal into the old, partly analog Dock signal and vice versa. If all you have is an old legacy cable, either stand-alone or as part of an in-car system, it works fine. Anything that's cramped, however, or relies on wrapping around the base or back of the iPhone for stability, probably won't work.
That brings us to the cable. It's the same as the dongle but includes a short length -- 20 cm or 7.8-inches -- of USB cable as well. So, for example, you could attach it inside a battery case or even some types of media docks and still, awkwardly, use them with your iPhone 5, iPod touch 5, or iPod nano 7.
Both are expensive, neither is ideal, neither supports video, and they took far too long to get into stores. That said, if you have a legacy accessory that absolutely needs a 30-pin Dock port to work, it's something you're going to have to pick up.
I tested both out with the iPod connector kit in my car and they both worked fine, exactly how the iPhone 4S worked with the traditional, direct Dock connector. My music played out through the car, and the car controls were recognized by my iPhone 5.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapters hands-on
Thats' true. It's analog media cable fat.
Fed up of waking up early and rushing to office daily? Why not try Online job? i Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… www.fox87.com
I just got mine a few days ago and use it on my clock radio. My iPhone 5 has synced by wifi only once or twice using the adapter. I'm beginning to wonder if its interfering with wifi syncing.
I'm doing the exact same thing...Lucky us!!!!
A new lighting cable is 19 bucks. These adapters are 29 and 39 bucks respectively.
Other than things with docks, I see no reason to get them. Why pay 30 or 40 bucks to cap off a cable you can replace for 19 bucks.
I bought two extra 19 dollar cables for me and my wife at the Apple Store.
This is great and all, but what about accessories? If I have a nice, $100 clock radio dock, I can't just replace that functionality with a new lighting cable. You pretty much have to buy the adaptor or buy a whole new one.
How about charging? will the adapters allow charging as well as audio out, such as with chargers that fit car lighter plugs?
I think the doc adapter should have raised the lightning plug a millimeter or two so it would work with cases. I have a minimal bumper (just enough to keep the phone from scuffing on surfaces) with an opening which allows the lighting cable to fit fine. The adapter wants to be flush with the bottom of the phone, which means that a case needs to have an opening for a full 30 pin connector. A 1-2 mm lip raising the lightning plug a bit from the rest of the adapter would have been ideal. I'll need to break out the Dremel to mod the case to accept it.
I have a combo iPad & iPhone charger on my nightstand specifically so that both devices can stand up and keep the nightstand organized and uncluttered, so one of the cable adapters would be suboptimal.

UFC Quick Quote: Matt Riddle held back against Che Mills at UFC on FUEL TV 7 - MMAmania.com
"I think if I went out of grade A, B, C, D, I'd give myself a B minus. You know, there's a lot more I could have done, you know I held back. I held back because Che Mills is extremely dangerous. All it takes is one mistake and one knee to my chin and I would have been waking up on the flight home tomorrow. So, you know, when you're fighting at this level you've got to fight smart and, you know, the fans are harsh critics but at the end of the day it's your body, your life, your record and you got to do what's right for yourself."

Like many of you, I'm a huge fan of cloud computing. I've been lucky enough to see first-hand how the cloud has enabled thousands of companies worldwide get started without having to spend large amounts of CapEx or commit to long term OpEx contracts just to realize an idea or launch a product without any notion of whether it will be a bust or the next big thing.
I started working at GoGrid's originating company ServePath in 2005 where our main product lines were dedicated servers and collocation services. ServePath was a pioneer in dedicated managed servers at a time when private networks and load balancing on shared network infrastructure were not yet productized.
John Keagy, GoGrid's Founder & CEO (now Executive Chairman), was always pushing the boundaries within the four walls of our data center with his motto, "complex infrastructure made easy." It was with this vision that GoGrid was developed and became a very successful provider of Infrastructure as a Service. However it's also because of that same vision the GoGrid Ops team has spent countless hours at a whiteboard figuring out how to support "complex infrastructure made easy".
In the six-plus years of building out our data centers and revamping them to support the constant growth of our cloud computing platform, one thing has stayed constant: power density continues to increase. When we first filled up our flagship San Francisco facility, we had power capacity to spare. As the growth of our dedicated server service became even more compelling over collocation, we started seeing an uptick in our power utilization per rack; power density was increasing from 2-3 kilowatts per rack up to 4-5 kilowatts per rack – that is when we first realized that power could become our limiting factor in our data center if this trend continued. In 2007 when GoGrid was being developed, we were asked to build out the infrastructure to support 7 – 10 kilowatts per rack, a 250% – 500% increase in power density per rack! At 2-3 kilowatts per rack, imagine you're sitting in a small office with a space heater and you turn it on full blast, it can get a bit warm, however you can stay in the room and continue to work. When we were tasked to build racks at 7- 10 kilowatts, it was like adding 25 space heaters in the same size room; unless you make some changes to your cooling system and redesign your rack layout, you are going to feel the heat real fast. As you can imagine, not only did this create a challenge in regards to supporting that much power, cooling that much power became quite a challenge as well. But we have overcome these challenges and continue to grow.
You may be wondering how much is GoGrid's power bill with that type of power density, and whether it is even economically scalable. Without breaking out the spreadsheets, I can assure you that one of the many benefits of cloud computing is power saving. You see, in the past, 20 servers could be supported by a dedicated server rack drawing 2 – 3 kilowatts of power, but now we can support over 2,000 virtual (multi-tenant) servers with the same rack drawing 7-10- kilowatts of power! Feel free to call me a bit of a geek, but it's that type of efficiency that excites me to work at one of the world's leading infrastructure as service companies.
There have been and will continue to be many challenges that the Ops Team will face as we transform our datacenters to support GoGrid's cloud infrastructure, stories that I will be happy to share both the challenges and the benefits in future postings. For now, I hope I have given you a bit of insight into GoGrid and the power benefits that come with cloud computing.

Bundeswehr 20 Liter Jerry Can
From the ad:
Brand-Spanking-New Bundeswehr issue 20L (5.16 gallon) jerry cans. The demand, internationally, has increased so dramatically, that prices have gone up substantially. We can't help that, still think they're the best jerry cans and well worth it. The ones with the small neck, so you can put a pouring spout on 'em. Built like an automotive fuel tank from two deep-drawn vertical halves of heavy-gauge 1.1mm thick, plasma welded steel, providing for a super-rigid and very strong canister, that'll survive virtually anything! The interiors are enameled to minimize scale from forming. The mouths, made of yet heavier steel, have those fabulous snap-lock caps, which truly are leak proof. (Unlike the GI screw-type). A thick rubber seal and leverage guarantee it. 19" x 13" x 6.25", weigh: 8.58 lbs.
Black Blade: I ordered 8 of these cans myself. Prices on Jerry cans have gone through the roof and these NATO fuel cans are difficult to find as well. The EPA has effectively made the old style GI Jerry Cans illegal for manufacture and sale in the US so the supply is drying up. I see that the word is starting to get out on some of the other preparedness sites so this is a heads up.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by shevvy bottomless! I have quite a generous bottom and these are the kind of knickers that only cover half of it! After only a few steps they are lost altogether! They look cute, just not for me! 9.13.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by KaffeineJunkie Not bad but not my favourites either. I bought 2 pairs of these undies in ivory to go with my galloon lace halter bra since the colour and lace match, and I like my bras and undies to match. I ordered my usual size small (I'm usually a size 2-4 in pants), and they fit alright except I do not like the elastic waist band. Whoever designed a pair of women's underwear with an elastic right on what is arguably the fleshiest part of a woman is ridiculous. I don't think I would want to go up a size because the rest of them fit really well, but I would never want to wear these panties under a body con dress because the waist band would make me look lumpy. I'm hoping it looses some of its elasticity after a few wears. 8.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EllieDre LOVE THESE so comfortable, fit so well, and don't show a panty line. so adorable!!! 9.23.2012

Rated 4 out of 5Â by sambulance88 Love these I really like the lace in these and I love the color selections. They do run a little loose though. I would like to see them match the Cheeky Lace Bra, I bought them to match and the colors are off. I'm going to keep them anyways though, they are too cute! 6.20.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by groovy order large and get undies cut in all various size Every single pair of these undies are a different size , although all of them were supposed to be large. I only ordered large because I was advised to do so with csr. I gave my measuremants to her and she advised me to a large. I am a medium at all other stores. Each pair of these larges are a different size. some are huge like granny panties and some are really small. although they all say large. So thanks Free People once again for the most inconsistent sizing and thanks for having me pay an extra 5.95 to send back and thanks for not crediting me back for the extra large undies I sent back. 5.27.2014

Review 1: Star Wars and Disney
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… www.fab17.com
You'd think that YOU would try this information if your buddy's mother-in-law was making so much. Odd that you'd instead choose to share the secret on a special episode Star Wars podcast comment.
Thanks very much for this, really looking forward to listening.
Tim Zahn FTW!
I think you are missing a word in your first paragraph after you talk about the 4 billion and change price tag you say "Thats roughly Disney paid for..." I don't mean to be a grammer nazi. I have to say I am kind of psyched about Disney's purchase of Star War's, maybe we will get a few decent movies to cap off the series, and the christmas special as well. It does worry me that now Disney owns no many of the various franchises that they do though.
About a year later and not a single comment about the casting of JJ Abrahms as the director of the next Star Wars film? I'm shocked.
Shocked, both that there's no comments, and shocked that Disney actually went with him. I loathe what he did to Star Trek, changing the look and feel, and inserting that Gawd awful time travel to explain his reboot.
I cringe at what he's going to do with Star Wars.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2006 Coalition forces in Afghanistan today killed 14 enemy fighters at a Taliban safe house and killed one enemy fighter and captured eight others in a separate raid, military officials reported.
A coalition patrol in the Kamdesh district in Nuristan province tracked a band of 14 extremists traveling with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades and attacked them once they reached their safe house, destroying two buildings in the compound, officials said.
Afghan National Army and coalition forces seized the compound and identified 14 dead enemy combatants. No ANA or coalition soldiers or civilians were injured in the attack, and careful precautions were made to ensure the safety and well-being of Afghan citizens, officials said.
Afghan and coalition forces conducted a raid early this morning in the village of Gapozal in Kandahar province, killing one enemy fighter and detaing eight others. These individuals had planned and carried out attacks on Afghan and coalition forces in Kandahar and Helmand provinces, officials said.
Information gathered through interviews with recently detained extremists led Afghan and coalition forces to the location where these individuals were hiding, officials said.
"Operation Mountain Thrust continues," said Air Force Lt. Col. John Paradis, a Combined Forces Command Afghanistan spokesman. "Recent Afghan and coalition operations have been extremely successful in capturing numerous terrorists and terrorist facilitators who pose a danger to Afghan citizens. These operations will continue in order to bring these extremists to justice."
The operation is part of a successive phase of an ongoing campaign to disrupt enemy forces, interdict safe havens, extend the reach of the government of Afghanistan, and facilitate good governance, reconstruction and humanitarian assistance.
Officials noted today that military operations are only one part of the overall coalition effort in Afghanistan. The coalition is overseeing 59 ongoing projects as part of the Commander's Emergency Reconstruction Program, or CERP. These projects include creation and repair of basic infrastructure, such as water, power, healthcare and education. The coalition also is delivering critical services, supplies and assistance to the people in various regions of the country, officials said.
"The defeat of extremism is certainly an important part of our operations here," said Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin C. Freakley, commander of Combined Joint Task Force 76. "As security improves, so will the services to the people."
Since Operation Mountain Thrust began in late May, more than 29,000 Afghan citizens have seen doctors and received medical care in the southern provinces alone, officials noted. In addition, Afghan and coalition troops have distributed more than 40,000 radios to people to help them stay informed about local news.
"Our objective is to assist the local populace and support the legitimate government," said Freakley. "As we root out and destroy extremists attempting to operate in southern Afghanistan, we're following up with needed medical assistance for people and their livestock as well as humanitarian assistance and reconstruction requested by provincial and local government."

One of the most powerful aspects of Cloud Computing is the ability to scale your infrastructure. But did you know that there are two components to scalability, horizontal and vertical. GoGrid has been offering easy horizontal scaling since we launched.
So what is scaling and how are you able to do this with GoGrid. Let's break it down with a quick, high-level definition and then show you how you can do it on GoGrid
What is Scaling?
Horizontal scaling simply means the ability to expand your infrastructure out, for example, adding additional servers to your infrastructure. You can currently do this using the GoGrid web portal or API or even using one of the solutions offered by our partners in the GoGrid Exchange. Similarly, if you use our MyGSI feature to create a Golden Master of your server, you can quickly scale out vertically with cloned instances of that MyGSI. Conversely, you can also scale your infrastructure back by removing servers from the mix.
Vertical scaling means that you can add additional resources to your individual infrastructure components, for example, adding addition RAM or cores to a server.
How To Scale Your RAM on GoGrid
So, how do you scale your infrastructure on GoGrid? As I mentioned, you've always been able to horizontally scale your infrastructure and now we are pleased to announce the availability that you can vertically scale using our new RAM Scaling feature. GoGrid customers can now scale the RAM up or down on GoGrid Cloud Servers within their existing and new infrastructure in the GoGrid cloud.

For the first time in 33 years, the Salt Grass Trail Ride will wind its way through Washington County.
The original idea for the trail ride first began as a topic of conversation over lunch between Brenham native, Reese Lockett and a handful friends during January of 1952. As the group talked about the Salt Grass rides of pioneer days, Lockett told the story of a bad experience he had while flying to the Orange Bowl in Florida. Because of that trip, Lockett said he would never take another trip where he couldn't arrive at his destination by horse.
Lockett's desire to attend the then called Houston Fat Stock Show, prompting from his friends and rodeo committee members launched the idea for the Salt Grass Trail Ride. Eventually, 30 riders made in the first trip and now thousands participate.
On February 15th, riders will begin gathering at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Brenham and the following day, they'll hitch up their wagons, saddle up and make their way to Houston.

City: Records should be 'protected'By David Taube
STAFF WRITER | March 02,2013MONTPELIER — A lawyer for the city defended an administrative decision to withhold certain information, citing case law that he says shows information can be "protected for the public's benefit."
A lawsuit by firefighter union officials against the city heard testimony from both parties Friday in Washington County Superior Court. Union leaders had sought documents under the state's open records law, and both parties agreed in court that a judge should review the materials.
Judge Robert Bent indicated he'd try to rush through a decision before a Tuesday vote about what records are public or private.
Bent suggested the major aspect of the case centered on whether city officials can discuss issues privately as part of a deliberative process exemption that protects records from disclosure.
The city initially released some records, denying most on the basis that the records were interdepartmental or intradepartmental communications preliminary to the setting of a budget policy, budget action or presentation.
The city later released several dozen additional records, but has maintained that some remaining documents are still protected. The city's lawyer, John Klesch, said Friday that 13 records are being withheld. As part of the case, the city argued "frank, internal discussions" are protected from disclosure.
Bent suggested part of the information under debate involved records related to how city officials might advocate for a preliminary budget decision, where representatives might advocate for a policy.
"These are discussions among policy-level folks in the city government talking about how to promote their desired outcome for the budget vote," Klesch said.
Klesch said discussions between the mayor, city manager, another city council member, and the fire chief about how to put out a public outreach on the issue dealt with records that were "legally exempt" because they are a "preliminary action."
The statute states records may be exempt from release if they are "primarily factual materials and are preliminary to any determination of policy or action or precede the presentation of the budget at a meeting."
After the city unveiled its budget, firefighters gathered signatures to create a ballot petition to fund a firefighter position slated to be cut, seeking to ensure $54,669 would be earmarked. At a final budget hearing Jan. 24, the city council decided to reduce the total overall budget in an amount roughly the same as identified in the firefighters' petition, suggesting that even if the petition passes, the position will still be cut.
"It is an action of policymakers after the budget comes out at a city council meeting and there's public hearings and so forth and then the firefighters association comes out with their petition, policymakers discussing, 'How are we going to respond to that?'" is protected, Klesch said.
The lawyer for the firefighters, Jim Dunn, said if the documents showed that city officials were "trying to hide, if you will, from the community" and develop strategy, that should not be covered by deliberative process.
"Is it their duty to influence public opinion?" Bent asked.
"I think that is inherent in any political office," Klesch said. "Part of what you do is communicate with the public and you consult with your internal, confidential advisers."
He later added taht if a mayor asks a city manager whether a position should be cut, and the manager suggested the possibility was not a good idea, that information should be protected. Bent agreed that "inaction" was protected.
Also during the proceeding, Bent said the city did a poor job on explaining why records were exempt. The list of exempt documents detailed records written by the city only included a sender and receiver and a line of statute cited, Bent said.
Bent also suggested he didn't feel the court should be the "figure-it-out" agency. The city indicated, however, that it apparently was agreeable to a speedy decision.
"The city is not interested in trying to rely on procedural blocks to get a substantive decision from the court," Klesch said. "The city's position is if the documents are truly not exempt, then we would ask your honor to decide that."
As part of the case, the plaintiff raised the issue that the preliminary budget materials exemption covers "inter-departmental communications," suggesting the mayor in this case would not be included. Bent said he planned to demonstrate the mayor is considered a department.
Bent said the ruling would not be "the decision to end all decisions on the topic."
"There's no law in Vermont on this deliberative process exemption. There's likely to be tons of law on this issue federally," Bent said, requesting both parties to submit materials based on the issue early Friday afternoon to help him decide.

EJ asks whose side Kristen's on, Sami goes to great lengths to find out why Eric is sick, and Jenn learns who Theresa really is...
Stefano busts a gut laughing when EJ tries to boot him out of the mansion. EJ tells him to contact Shin, so he checks his messages and his demeanor changes. "What did you do?" EJ shares the details and Stefano calls him 'Judas'. EJ hasn't forgiven him for ditching him when he thought they weren't blood. His love has ruined Alexandra, Kate... EJ thinks Stefano lost sight of things that matter when he went after Rafe. EJ owes Kate gratitude for making this easy. Stefano vows to make his son pay. EJ doubts this. "The phoenix is not going to rise again." They discuss Stefano being behind Bernardi's murder attempt on Rafe and EJ cleaning up his mess.
In the hospital, Theresa tells Jenn and JJ she's Jenn's new assistant. Confused, Jenn says she already filled the position. Kayla shows up, and introduces Theresa Donovan as Shane and Kimberly's kid. Jennifer's flabbergasted. Theresa sits on Jenn's desk like she owns the place and Kayla calls her on her disrespect. Jenn and JJ take off and Kayla reminds Theresa this is a fresh start for her. Theresa hopes Kayla isn't going to be just like her mother. Elsewhere, Daniel gets the results from Eric's recent tests. Jenn and JJ walk by and JJ admits he didn't know Theresa was Aunt Kayla's niece.
Sami runs into the rectory in tears over Rafe's reaction to her. Eric holds her for a moment and collapses. He starts to shiver. Distressed, Sami wants to call 911 or their mom but Eric asks her not to and explains Daniel's running tests. Suddenly - Daniel shows up and theorizes that Eric was poisoned. Sami starts railing on Daniel for answers but Daniel needs to speak to a specialist before concluding anything. Eric kicks Sami out and Daniel draws Eric's blood for more tests. Daniel talks about things with Jenn being strained. Eric lends an ear and gives platitudes about faith but Daniel's a man of science. Once Daniel's gone, Eric prays to God.
Over the phone in the park, Kristen demands her video editor ensure Eric's hesitation before devouring her doesn't show in the final cut.
Kristen walks up to JJ and Jennifer at the hospital. JJ returns to school and the ladies discuss the men in their lives. Kristen says she has moved on. Back in Jenn's office, Kayla lectures Theresa on this being her last chance, considering she's been in some trouble lately. Jenn returns and Kayla leaves. Jenn asks why she was at her home a few nights ago. Theresa lies and claims she got lost and was asking for directions. Jenn puts her on notice. Sami barges in and recognizes Jeannie/Theresa and gushes about her return to Salem and calls Jennifer the best boss Theresa could hope for. Theresa agrees and plasters a smile on her face before dashing to HR. Sami mutters there's something about Theresa that reminds her of herself at that age. Sami tells Jenn that Eric's ill and wants to know what she knows about it. Jenn couldn't provide that information even if she did know something, so Sami runs off.
Kristen arrives home where she's taken aback by word that EJ now owns the mansion and Stefano's out on his ass. Stefano takes off and EJ clues Kristen in. She thinks her return to get the family back on track was all for naught. They agree on retaliation being the only way to go when they're hurt. EJ asks where her allegiance lies. She'll support whomever comes out on top. EJ gets it. He takes a call from Samantha, who tells him about Eric's illness. Kristen eavesdrops. Sami badmouths Daniel and EJ admits he doesn't care for him either but assures her he's a good doctor. Kristen congratulates EJ on his success and leaves to call Dr. Chyka for a meeting. Stefano returns to assure EJ that he'll soon come crawling back to him with an apology for what he has taken from him. EJ looks nervous.
JJ returns home and searches for information on Theresa on his laptop. She shows up after getting his Facebook message. He's surprised she took the risk but she shrugs and calls herself a bad influence. JJ gives her some weed on the house and she wanders off aimlessly.
Back at the hospital, Anne calls Jennifer, yelling about how Theresa never showed up at HR. Jenn will take care of it. She calls JJ, to check up on him. Meanwhile, Sami notices Rafe's chart at the hub and looks around to see if anyone's watching.
Kristen harps on Dr. Chyka at the park about Daniel calling in a specialist to check Eric's blood. She smacks his arm, calling him an idiot for not thinking this could happen.
At home, Daniel looks over Eric's chart and furrows his brow. "What the hell?"
