@giorodriguez: What does it mean to be social in a place that believes it's reinventing it?
Back in the late nineties – before I was fully assimilated into Silicon Valley life – I helped to produce the local premier of a play by British film legend, Mike Leigh. The play, titled Ecstasy, was by then a period piece (set in late-1970's pre-Thatcher England) chronicling an unsually long, rambling, booze-driven evening in an East London flat. Like most of Leigh's creations, this was a rich slice-of-life where the primary entertainment value is the vicarious experience of spending time with characters that are so sharply drawn that they appear to be real (the fruit of Leigh's unique method for developing scripts with his actors). In one scene – which would prove prophetic for me, as we'll soon shall see – the loutish but lovely character called Mick captures that experience when asked what he'd do if he won a cool million. Just a few moments before, his wife Dawn fantasized she'd get herself "a full-time baby-minder, 24 hours a day."
LEN. What you'd do, then, Mick?
MICK. If I had a million pounds?
LEN. Aye.
MICK. I'd buy meself a pub.
DAWN. E would, 'n all, 'im.
MICK. I wouldn't bother opening it. I'd just sit in it meself.
JEAN. Well, you got a ready-made barmaid anyway, ent ya?
DAWN. Blimey, Jean, you'd never be off your bleeding' feet serving' im.
MICK. Don't worry yourself — big sign over the door: MEN ONLY, SELF-SERVICE.
DAWN. You could see it, couldn't you? Parlatic from morning till night.
MICK. And why the f— not? Come on, this is supposed to be a party — come on, drink up here.
The scene stuck not just with me, but with a friend I met during my first tour of duty as a Silicon Valley marketer. After the start-up we joined went down in flames, we became fast friends, meeting regularly at an old relic of a bar in Los Altos called "The Echo." It might have been over a round of Manhattans and chicken wings (the only thing worth ordering from the bar menu) that my friend got the idea to make Mick's dream a reality. For just two days ago — on a Friday evening — my friend launched the enterprise from his living room where not too long ago he'd built a bar of his own — fully stocked, self-service, and, yes, for the purposes of the evening, men only.
Before you jump all over me and point out how backward, atavistic, and socially tone-deaf a men's club sounds in a place like Silicon Valley — a place, mind you, where women are still bumping up against the glass ceiling, despite the well-known exceptions — please note that my friend's club is not a "let's go back to the woods" kind of affair; this is not a Robert Bly production, and on Friday there were no "Iron Johns" in attendance ready to teach us how to be "real men." The traveling bar — the first was in Los Altos, but the next may be elsewhere — has a gentler mission: a regular meetup for a small group of guys selected by my friend as carefully as he selects single malts (more about that in a bit).
There are three reasons I like this idea, and why I will almost certainly try to keep up with the group. The first should be obvious: in a place like Silicon Valley, socializing is not easy. And yes there's the irony that Silicon Valley is one of the places responsible for reinventing the way we think about social. But that's one of the challenges. Because the virtual life, of course, is no substitute for face-to-face. Of course, Silicon Valley is not alone in this regard; I have have often written about the general trends (suburbanization, technology, and weakened civic institutions) that have contributed to the disappearance of public spaces. But I would argue that Silicon Valley suffers from this problem in spades. Even The Echo — a bar I loved because it was one of the few places that served the underclass of a mostly affluent community — is gone. It's an empty lot. It lives today only as a poetic memory (think of the name).
But even if you are more resourceful than I am, and find ways to connect with your peers in the Valley, that may not be enough. Of the ten men assembled last Friday night, seven were Indian, and as it turns out most of them do a lot of socializing, inside and outside the Indian community. I chatted with a physician who told me that all the mixing was good but "every party conversation was beginning to feel the same." His comment provoked a larger discussion with others at the bar. The social constraints at most of these parties make opening up and being real a tough challenge. It's not that they didn't like the people they were meeting. It's more that they weren't truly engaged.
Which leads to the third reason my friend's club makes sense for its members — the focus on men. Recently, I began a consulting engagement for an all male college. One of the biggest questions we're looking to answer is "what does it mean to be an all male school in the 21st century?" It's early in the engagement but already we see that the answer can only be gotten by examining the value the institution brings to a larger and more complex world. One of those values is what a temporary respite from the norm can do to support emotional growth through bonding with peers. In the company of women, men often are not as open as they can be. I've heard women say the same things about themselves; perhaps it's time for men to recognize this universal dynamic. At the Friday meetup, I had some of the best conversations ever with men with whom I'd never assume I had much in common. With a fellow marketer, we discussed the psychological challenges of our profession. With another consultant — the son of an accomplished playwright — we talked about the joys, and challenges, of fatherhood. With the physician — who I met later in the evening as the party moved from the sumptuous Indian feast to single malt Scotch — we looked at what happens to so many men in the Valley as they reach their 50′s. He confided: he had cruised through most of his professional life on "auto pilot." He was now looking for meaning, and he was beginning to find it.
I left around 10:30 PM, and learned later that the conversation, the single malts, and the dining (which concluded with desserts like this and that), didn't quit till the wee hours of the morning. I might have stayed later, but I had not made plans to do that. You see, when I first got the invite I had assumed that we'd be together one or two hours, tops. I had forgotten what it was like to actually socialize. In part, it was an Indian thing; my friend explained that the idea of a one-hour meetup with Indians is unthinkable. But mostly it's a human thing. To socialize is to be present, and to let time pass with the people you are with. Just like in Mike Leigh's Ecstasy — a play that is all about social experience — you never know when something magical is going to happen. But if you invest the time, and wait, you will at least be there to experience it.

The Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) model is an important tool for topic analysis. Inference can be performed through a Gibbs sampler using the auxiliary variable method. We propose a split-merge procedure to augment this method of inference, facilitating faster convergence. Whilst the incremental Gibbs sampler changes topic assignments of each word conditioned on the previous observations and model hyper-parameters the split-merge sampler changes the topic assignments over a group of words in a single move. This allows efficient exploration of state space. We evaluate the proposed sampler on a synthetic test set and two benchmark document corpus and show that the proposed sampler enables the MCMC chain to converge faster to the desired stationary distribution.

Pack Announces Incoming Class of 2014
Nov. 19, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State gymnastics will add three student-athletes in the fall of 2014, as announced by head coach Mark Stevenson. Elizabeth Gangale, Chelsea Knight-Taliaferro and Allie Wismer each signed National Letters of Intent (NLI) to join the program next academic year.
"I'm excited that we have such a strong class coming in," said Stevenson. "All three qualified for JO Nationals, which is the highest round of that tournament and they were very successful at that level finishing in the top-10 in all-around. We're very excited to have them. We think they'll bring a lot to our program."
Gangale joins the Wolfpack from Henderson, Nev., and Brown's Gymnastics. A 2011 JO National All Around Champion, Gangale finished first on vault, in the top-five on bars and in the top-10 on beam. She also captured the state championship on vault in 2011 and 2012, while placing first on floor in 2012.
"Elizabeth finished first three years ago and third two years in the all-around," Stevenson said.
Knight-Taliaferro comes to Raleigh from Waldorf, Md., where she trains at Unique Gymnastics. She placed in the top-10 in 2012 at JO Nationals in the all-around competition. She won the title on beam at the 2013 Circle of the Stars meet, while claiming the top spot on bars at the Maryland Classic. In addition, the Maryland native finished first on vault and bars at the March Madness Invitational.
"Chelsea is a very dynamic athlete and extremely good on vault," Stevenson added. "She is also pretty good on bars and floor."
Wismer, a product of Pinnacle Gymnastics in Overland Park, Kansas, recorded a top-10 finish earlier this year at Regionals, while winning the state title on vault and bars. In addition, Wismer placed second in the all-around competition in 2012 and 2013. She also finished 11th in the all-around at JO Nationals in 2012.
"Allie is pretty much a newcomer. She was competing at Nationals last year for the first time, but she made it through and she did very well there," Stevenson stated.
The Wolfpack will open the season at North Carolina on Jan. 12, 2014, with competition slated to begin at 2 p.m. inside Carmichael Arena.

ssh-add - adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent SYNOPSIS
ssh-add -s reader
ssh-add -e reader DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the file $HOME/.ssh/identity. Alternative file names can be given on the command line. If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the current process for ssh-add to work.
LLists public key parameters of all identities cur-rently represented by the agent.-dInstead of adding the identity, removes the identityfrom the agent.-DDeletes all identities from the agent.-s readerAdd key in smartcard reader.-e readerRemove key in smartcard reader.FILES
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of the user. This file should not be read- able by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores this file if it is accessible by others. It is possible to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file. This is the default file added by ssh-add when no other files have been speci- fied.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of the user.
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .Xsession or related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and created OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol ver- sions 1.5 and 2.0. SEE ALSO

RICHMOND, Va. — Recently crunched numbers by Nerdwallet.com show that the average cost for Virginia drivers caught speeding is just over a total average of $335 a ticket.
But Richmond is the most expensive area in the Commonwealth to get fined, with drivers paying over $386.
Like many of us, Alex South admits she's gone a little too fast while driving at times.
"A little bit more than I should have, absolutely," said South.
Because of this, South said she recently found herself with a pricy speeding ticket she got while in Henrico
"I was like no way, I'm really upset about this but I pulled over and took the ticket anyway," she said.
Alex paid the fines, but speeding cost her more than just a ticket. She had to pay court fees and had to deal with her insurance possible going up.
The average speeding ticket in Virginia will cost around $141 for going 15 miles per hour over the speed limit. Tack on the insurance costs and it can add up to around $64 per year for three years.
"It's not worth paying the high price that comes along with it," said South.
"It becomes an expensive thing," said one Richmond driver.
Martha Meade with AAA Mid-Atlantic agrees the cost can make your wallet much lighter, but said drivers need to also remember the dangers of speeding.
"About 1,000 people every month die in this nation due to speeding," she said.
"It makes me definitely want to stick to the 25 that is mostly around the city and not go about 30," said South.

The UK is to receive another Boeing C-17 strategic transport, with the acquisition to boost the Royal Air Force's fleet of the type to eight aircraft.
Announced by prime minister David Cameron on 8 February, the £200 million ($316 million) purchase represents the potentially final addition to the UK's C-17 fleet, which plays a vital role in sustaining its "airbridge" with Afghanistan. Seven are flown by the service's 99 Sqn from its air transport super base at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.

The RAF's C-17s play a vital role in supporting UK operations in Afghanistan
"The newest C-17 is currently being built by Boeing in the USA and is due to come off the production line next month," the UK Ministry of Defence said. "It is then expected to enter service with the RAF in July 2012."
"Boeing is delighted to hear that the UK government is ready to procure an eighth C-17 Globemaster III heavy lift aircraft to meet the nation's growing airlift needs," said Bob Ciesla, the company's C-17 programme manager. A contract has yet to be signed for the acquisition.
In May 2011, the RAF marked the completion of its first decade of operations with the C-17, an initial four of which were flown under a lease agreement with the USA. These were subsequently purchased outright, with orders later placed for two and one aircraft respectively.
The UK operates the second-largest fleet of C-17s, behind the US Air Force, although India recently completed the process of ordering a fleet of 10 to enter use from later this decade.

Audubon California's bill to ban the use of lead shot in state wildlife areas is still alive, but it hit a snag this Tuesday before the State Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee. We went into Tuesday's hearing knowing that the vote would be close. We knew that the National Rifle Association and related groups were lobbying hard to kill the bill, and that meant that getting any Republican votes was going to be tough. Thankfully, we've been able to rely on Democratic votes thus far, but this left us with very little margin for error.
As it turned out, one Democratic Senator wasn't able to be at the hearing this week, and another abstained at the last minute. This left the vote unresolved, and the bill is expected to be taken up again this coming Tuesday under reconsideration. We're optimistic that the bill will move on, but all of this shows that we're up against tough opposition and we can't afford to take our foot off the gas. We know that this is an important protection for birds and other wildlife and we won't let up.

Hi everyone! You came here to find out about Dana McDonald, so here we go! First let
me say that I LOVE what I do! I've been lucky enough to be able to do what I love for
over 30 years, the last 21 at Delmarva Broadcasting! I started my radio "career" at

to WSTW (93-7), and finally made the move to Cool 101.3 in late 2010. When I'm not
on Cool 101.3, I'm working a wedding or party with my mobile DJ company (
danamcdonalddj.com), having
fun with my 3 boys (all 11 years old or younger), or driving my wife crazy with my
"amazing" drumming skills! I look forward to meeting all of you, and I hope you'll
join me every weekday morning between 5:30 and 10!

Friends Helping Friends will be having their annual Student vs. Coaches basketball game on Friday November 16th.
This basketball game will be held to raise money for an Honorary Senior officer Sydney Vickery; she has helped organize multiple trips and helped in many ways with Friends Helping Friends. Sydney was diagnosed in July with encephalitis and is facing long term rehab.
All ECCHS students and public will have the opportunity to attend this basketball with a minimum donation of just one dollar to help Sydney and her family. Mrs. Sandy Adams explains more about what will go on at the game.
"The middle school and high school students who have special needs will be playing basketball against the coaches, unless they want to be a cheerleader", said Mrs. Adams.
The basketball game will be this Friday November 16th starting at 9:25 a.m. and will be held at the Elbert County High School gymnasium.


text: Future college students now have a clear plan for how they can earn a bachelor's degree in three years, potentially saving thousands of dollars in tuition, room and board and allowing them to enter the workforce earlier. Universities in Ohio were required by state law to show students how 10 percent of their degrees could be completed in three years. By 2014, 60 percent of programs must meet that mark.

Well, Aliens: Colonial Marines definitely is up there among my favorites. Being a huge fan of the franchise, working on this project has been humbling and insanely awesome. To be included now as part of this Alien canon, is a fan boy's dream. I am honored and thankful that I was able to lend my musical voice to such an iconic franchise.
Do you have anything exciting on the horizon you can tease us about?
Yes, there are quite a few things on the horizon. One is Microsoft's fantasy action title, Ascend: New Gods, which will be releasing this year. I'll also be working on 2 films and 1 other game in the coming months.

When Don Imus went off on Rutgers' hoopsters, he didn't just do himself in. He might have taken down hip-hop, too.
Ever since the shock jock's racist remarks about the women ballers, numerous pundits have attacked rap, as they feel the music's lingo is responsible for his choices of words. For instance, over the last few days:
- Al Sharpton declines to give an award to record exec L.A. Reid because the label supports "gutter" rap. Reid's imprint works with Ludacris, Jay-Z and others.
- Oprah holds a Town Hall episode that's very critical of hip-hop.
- Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are criticized for associating with the likes of Ludacris and Timbaland.
Personally, I've got no beef with honest examinations of rap's place in society, but I'm tired of "concerned" parties latching on to causes just to make a name for themselves. Hot air can be just as offensive as Luda lyrics in my book.
What do you think?

2.15 Grievance Procedure
2.15.1 Intent
The college [university] recognizes the importance of a process for attending to grievances properly, without fear of prejudice or reprisal on the part of anyone bringing a grievance or anyone being grieved against. Accordingly, the college [university] encourages the informal and prompt settlement of grievances and, if necessary, the use of the orderly processes set forth in this grievance procedure, designed to protect due process and academic freedom and to respect professional conduct. With the exception of the appendices to Part II, comprising the "Joint Human Rights Policy" and the "Joint Sexual Assault Policy" (for which Section 3.3, the "Joint Complaint Procedure for Human Rights Violations," applies), the college [university] intends that these procedures be the sole method for the resolution of all grievances. If a faculty member simultaneously alleges both a grievable violation and a violation that falls under the "Joint Complaint Procedure for Human Rights Violations," a single inquiry will occur in accord with this grievance procedure, as described in Section 4.1, "Grievance Procedure."
When a grievance substantially similar to a grievance initiated under these procedures has been filed with an outside agency, the grievant shall agree not to pursue it until the college [university] grievance procedure has run its course. An exception may be made to this policy when a delay, caused by the time needed to complete the college [university] grievance procedure, interferes with the grievant's opportunity to pursue the outside claim. This exception applies only to claims with an outside agency, not to bringing suit in a court of law. In addition, any grievance which has been filed and resolved by an outside agency cannot then be presented as a grievance under these procedures.
2.15.2 Scope of the Grievance Procedure
The scope of this grievance procedure is limited.
- The grounds for any grievance are limited to those identified in Section 2.15.3.
- The objectionable action(s) being grieved must fall under policy, procedures, rights, and/or standards of conduct identified in Part II (including its appendices), Part III, or Part IV.
- Allegations related to the "Joint Human Rights Policy" (appendix of Part II) are to be investigated employing the "Joint Complaint Procedure for Human Rights Violations" (Section 3.3) and not by this grievance procedure. Procedural violations within the "Joint Complaint Procedure for Human Rights Violations" can be subsequently grieved but the original complaint of a human rights violation cannot (see 126.96.36.199.d).
- If a faculty member simultaneously alleges a grievable violation and a human rights violation, both types of allegations are investigated though this grievance procedure, as described in Section 4.1.
In particular, Parts I and V do not come under this grievance procedure.
2.15.3 Grounds for Initiating a Grievance
A grievance procedure may be initiated when a faculty member or a group of faculty members makes either or both of two types of claims: an allegation of a violation of rights, policies, procedures, or standards; or an allegation of inadequate consideration of the evidence. Although both types of allegations would be investigated by a single ad hoc grievance committee (in accord with Section 4.1 below), these two are distinguished because of the somewhat different procedures entailed in the latter case.
126.96.36.199 Violation of Rights, Policies, Procedures, or Standards
A grievance may be initiated when a faculty member or group of faculty members claims that there has been:
- a violation of policy or procedure of these institutions as set forth in the Faculty Handbook; or
- an infringement of the rights of an employee or employees of these institutions as set forth in the Faculty Handbook which relates to compensation, appointment or reappointment, tenure, promotion, dismissal, suspension, reassignment, or layoff; or
- unprofessional conduct or a violation of the academic freedom and integrity standards applicable to faculty (Section 2.10); or
- a violation of the procedures of the "Joint Human Rights Policy," the "Joint Sexual Assault Policy," or the "Joint Complaint Procedure for Human Rights Violations."
184.108.40.206 Inadequate Consideration
If a faculty member alleges that a decision by the college [university] concerning contract status, tenure, or promotion was based on inadequate consideration of the evidence, a grievance may be initiated. An allegation of inadequate consideration refers to a procedural rather than a substantive issue. The substance of a decision, i.e., the judgment as to what outcome is warranted by the evidence, is not grievable. Rather, the standard of adequate consideration suggests questions such as whether those named in a grievance sought out and conscientiously considered all relevant evidence and standards, whether they excluded irrelevant and improper evidence and standards, and whether they made a good faith exercise of professional academic judgment.
2.15.4 Grievance Procedures
The precise mechanism(s) for filing and dealing with a grievance are found in Section 4.1.

ChickHEN Mod – Load ChickHEN smoother
PSP Developer m0skit0 has release a mod for ChickHEN R2 that will enable ChickHEN to load much smoother. This will help users that are having trouble to getting chickHEN to load up after many attempts. This should reduce the amount of attempts needed to get it to load up.
To install the program:
1. Power on the PSP
2. Connect to the PC via USB.
3. Open the folder of the PSP and copy the download (in the root of the MS)
4. Decompress ChickHEN Mod.zip. Answer "Yes" to all replacements.
5. Now we do a safe extraction of the PSP and switch to PSP now
6. Press O to cancel USB connection
7. Go to Photos, down to Memory Stick and press X
8. Wait for the egg image to load in the ChickHEN Mod square.
9. When it's loaded press X (no need for timing here)
If you are successful, you'll see the green light flashing and it will reboot in the ChickHEN environment. After that, you can now enable the CFW Enabler v1.0. If it doesn't work, just reset your PSP and go back to step 7.

The headline reads: "Mideast Flap Hits Jerusalem's Streets." Another equally apt headline would be: "Obama Gambit Sets Off Palestinian Riots." That, after all, is what is going on. The report notes: "Protests Tuesday moved the dispute into the streets, in the most widespread unrest in Jerusalem in years. Palestinian protesters, many responding to a call by the Hamas militant group for a 'day of rage,' hurled Molotov cocktails and stones, set tires ablaze and blocked roads." And why might Palestinians think it opportune to revert to violence? Well, perhaps the Palestinians — whose warnings of violence were never condemned by the U.S. — have figured out that the Obami are so desperate for those proximity talks and so alienated from the Israelis that now, anything goes. They can have violence and proximity talks. They can have America's Israel-bashing and a new intifada:
"We are calling for the third Intifada to be sparked now," said spokesman Fawzi Barhoum of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, referring to Palestinian uprisings against Israel.
Peace talks are now in limbo, though U.S. officials said special Mideast envoy George Mitchell hoped to return to the region in the coming days. The diplomatic flap has plunged the longtime allies into one of the worst chills in relations in decades.
You see, in his frenzy to return to the peace process, Mitchell will now turn a blind eye toward the Palestinian violence. And the Palestinians know it. I wonder how the Axelrod-Emanuel-Clinton-Mitchell-Obama brain trust feels about its handiwork now? It has, predictably, torn asunder the U.S.-Israel relationship and emboldened the proponents of violence — the worst possible result. But then this is the worst Middle East policy team we've ever seen.

Durham Regional Hospital now Duke Regional
After 23 years as Durham Regional Hospital, the hospital now has a new name.
The facility's name officially changed to Duke Regional Hospital to reflect its relationship with Duke Medicine, according to an announcement by the hospital on Monday.
The hospital is county-owned, but Duke manages it through a 40-year lease. The Durham County Board of Commissioners signed off on the name-change plan in January.
The 369-bed acute care hospital opened in 1976 as Durham County General Hospital.
It was renamed Durham Regional Hospital in 1990 to reflect a growing number of patients coming from counties beyond Durham, according to the announcement. The hospital serves people from Durham as well as Orange, Granville and Person counties.
The name was changed to Duke Regional since hospital officials believe the Duke name is well-known and will help increase patient volume and referrals, enhance marketing and support the recruitment of health care workers.
"Changing the hospital's name to Duke Regional will position the hospital for future growth by better reflecting our important relationship with Duke Medicine," Kerry Watson, president of the Duke Regional, said in the announcement.
The Durham County Hospital Corp. Board of Trustees members concluded Durham residents increasingly identify Duke as the county's leading health care provider. The hospital is governed by the county-appointed board.
The name change was proposed after a survey last year found 62 percent of Durham residents polled name Duke University Hospital when asked what the first hospital was that came to mind.
Mary Kate Llamas, a spokeswoman for Duke Regional Hospital, said in an email that Duke manages Duke Regional through a 40-year lease that renews automatically each year for a 40-year term.
More than $160 million has been invested in capital improvements to the hospital since the start of the leasing arrangement in 1998, she said.
Services of Duke University Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital have been consolidated, including inpatient rehabilitation services in 2000 to create the 30-bed Duke Rehabilitation Institute on Duke Regional's seventh floor.
She said the weight-loss surgery program was consolidated in 2003, and the cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs were consolidated in the spring and will move to new expanded space in the Croasdaile Commons shopping center in the fall.

I have heard that HRRR is suppose to open this year, but I don't know when. Is the Harry Potter ride still on track to open in 2010?
I have heard that HRRR is suppose to open this year, but I don't know when. Is the Harry Potter ride still on track to open in 2010?
Rip is supposed to open sometimes this or next month, and HP is going to open next year, summer most likely.
And Harry Potter is more than just a ride, it'll be a whole new area called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" using part of the Lost Continent "island" at Islands of Adventure. It's going to have the village of Hogsmeade, Hogwarts castle and I heard possibly Diagon Alley as well.
Looks like I'm probably going to Universal in a few weeks for my birthday. If I go to IOA I'll try to get some pics of the Harry Potter construction. From what I've seen so far, Hogwarts castle is going to be massive. Hoping Rip-Ride-Rockit is open by then too.
I knew Harry Potter was getting an entire land, I was just worried that the land would be opened before the ride.
I'm definitely going to Universal in a couple weeks for my birthday, but it looks like we're just going to hit the Studios park as there's more there the BF would like (he doesn't like coasters, but I'm going to trick him into going on Mummy with me), plus we'll really only have time for one park as we won't be getting there until around 11:30 (he has to take someone to the airport in the morning) and we have noon lunch reservations at Emeril's, so we won't even be entering the park until close to 1pm... IOA closes at 8pm that day and the Studios 9pm, so guess which park won out?
That roller coaster looks pretty ready to go!
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
It could be this month they keep scheduling these radio broadcasts and canceling them...but I am hoping that by Labor Day I can ride the thing. It did make it very easy for Sea World though...their coaster owned the summer (and it will be tough to beat)
Shoot. I was hoping the coaster would be open when I go there in a couple weeks. Oh well.

Every year as spring awakens, I have an annual to-do list I start checking off right about now.
Winter is right around the corner and this is the time we tend to hibernate, putting on a few pounds for extra warmth, and generally feeling not so great about yourself... at least if you're me and live for the summer. Now is the time we need self tanners more than ever to help us look like we didn't really gain that extra bit of insulation. One brand that gives an oh-so-natural coloring is Xen Tan, which you may have heard a lot about on TV and in the press. If you love everything Hollywood, then feel safe this brand is known as a favorite of the tinsel town elite.
With an arrray of sunless sprays and lotions to choose from, you simply choose your tan of choice and away you go to trimmer thighs and camoflaged cellulite. Not to mention, many of our customers have spoken about the wonderful scent it leaves behind. It's hard to find sunless tanning products that don't get stinkier by the hour you have it on.Read More »

70 Ways to Improve Every Day of the Week
More Guy Wisdom Lists
Survive Hump Day
21. Make a Mad Dash
Burn off negative energy with a 30-second sprint. British researchers found this can reduce tension, anger, and confusion for 75 minutes.
22. Say "We," Not "You"
If midweek stress leads to a fight, use the collective pronoun ("I think we will be happier if your mom stays at a hotel"), which inspires compromise, according to a study in Psychological Science.
23. Chat Up the Foxy New Staffer . . .
Liven up the morning with some playful flirting. Two-thirds of bosses are likely to allow the relationship, perhaps because more than 50 percent of dating colleagues end up in a long-term relationship.
24. . . . But Keep Your Eyes Off Her Cleavage
Feeling easily distracted today? Resist the urge to check out your coworkers. Belgian scientists found that men exposed to sexual cues experienced testosterone spikes that impaired decision making.
25. Call Her For a Fight
If relationship stress lingers, discuss a sticky situation on the phone. This reduces tension, say University of Florida researchers, because eye rolling and head shaking are offline.
26. Eat Something Gross
Sardines, anyone? Try one food you hated as a kid. Our palates change with age as our 9,000 tastebuds' reactions to stimulants mature.
27. Make Her Your Appetizer
Tame midweek stress the fun way. Have each other before dinner to reconnect after a long day.
28. Spice Up Dinner
Keep the energy level high with an exciting evening meal: Make a dish like chili with 10 different spices and herbs, which are full of disease-fighting chemicals. Capsaicin in cayenne is even thought to boost mood.
29. See the TV Docs
Go ahead and take your mind off the workday by vegging out with ER. A USC study shows that watching well-crafted medical dramas improves health habits in men.
30. Spank It Lefty
She out late? Use your nondominant hand when partying solo. Harry Fisch, M.D., a professor of clinical urology at Columbia University, says that robotically masturbating can hinder your performance with your mate.

in priiloader go to install file ...install the gx .dol then go to setting and set autoboot to installed file and return to autoboot
installed file is (usbloadergx boot.dol located in your apps/usbloader gx in the sd card)
I'm sorry if I confused you.
yeah select installed file.
if you haven't installed it go to
load/install file option
then install boot.dol by pressing A
Last edited by Mekee; 03-30-2010 at 08:07 AM.
Ok, before I try the "installed file" option, before you guys posted your priiloader instructions, I found this one: HOWTO: Install Priiloader to help prevent system bricks if you cannot use Bootmii as boot2
I downloaded the 4.2u file for my system from this site, but I haven't modified anything on that file. Do I need to modify something, if so, WHAT?
Sorry, I'm talking about the hacks.ini file
Ok, I'm impatient and couldn't wait, so I just tried it anyway. I started up the Wii, held the reset button down and got to the priiloader menu. I went to the install file section and it found boot.dol and installed it. I then set it to Autoload to the "installed file", but when I open a game and choose to exit the game, it always takes me back to the main wii menu instead of the USBGLX menu.
Is this because I still need to edit something in the hacks.ini file (which hasn't been edited at all yet) or did I miss a step somewhere else?
you forgot to put in priiloader settings return to autoboot
That was my problem, THANK YOU! It's working just fine now.
I did forget to mark one of the updates and check the region free, which has now been done. THANKS AGAIN!

Airborn Ku-band polarimetric radar remote sensing of terrestrial snow cover
Yueh, Simon H.; Dinardo, Steve J.; Akgiray, Ahmed; West, Richard; Cline, Donald W.; Elder, Kelly. 2009. Airborn Ku-band polarimetric radar remote sensing of terrestrial snow cover. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. 47(10): 3347-3364.
Characteristics of the Ku-band polarimetric scatterometer (POLSCAT) data acquired from five sets of aircraft flights in the winter months of 2006-2008 for the second Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX-II) in Colorado are described in this paper. The data showed the response of the Ku-band radar echoes to snowpack changes for various types of background vegetation in the study site in north central Colorado. We observed about 0.15-0.5-dB increases in backscatter for every 1 cm of snow-waterequivalent (SWE) accumulation for areas with short vegetation (sagebrush and pasture). The region with the smaller amount of biomass, signified by the backscatter in November, seemed to have the stronger backscatter response to SWE in decibels. The data also showed the impact of surface hoar growth and freeze/thaw cycles, which created large snow-grain sizes, ice crust layers, and ice lenses and consequently increased the radar signals by a few decibels. The copolarized HH/VV backscatter ratio seems to indicate double-bounce scattering between the ground surface and snow or vegetation. The cross-polarized backscatter [verticalhorizontal (VH)] showed not only the influence of vegetation but also the strong response to snow accumulation. The observed HV/VV ratio suggests the importance of multiple scattering or nonspherical scattering geometry of snow grain in the dense-media radiative transfer scattering model. Comparison of the POLSCAT and QuikSCAT data was made and confirmed the effects of mixed terrain covers in the coarse-resolution QuikSCAT data.

Heller's 2013 Predictions: Follow-Up
(ALCO) is up about 25% year to date, Cresud (CRESY) has risen 15%, and PICO Holdings has gained 7%. Limoneira (LMNR) has done little year to date and is flat. Timber-related names have done even better, with Plum Creek Timber (PCL), Rayonier (RYN) and Weyerhaeuser (WY) up an average of 15.2% year to date.

Proofing and Shaping Bread Dough
Let the dough rise
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until it doubles in bulk. This can take 1 to 2 hours or more, depending on the temperature of the room.
Punch down the dough
Punching down the dough releases gases that have built up during rising. Simply press down on the dough a few times with your fist until it has lost most of its air. Then, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough
If your recipe calls for dividing the dough into portions, use a bench scraper or a sharp knife to cut it. You can cover the portions of dough you aren't using with a damp kitchen towel so they won't dry out.
Shape the dough
Working with one portion at a time, shape the dough as specified in your recipe. Here, we show the beginning stages of shaping the dough into a baguette. Transfer the finished shaped dough onto a baking pan sprinkled with cornmeal.

As Senior Design Editor at WOOD magazine, Kevin is largely responsible for the project selection, project designs, and ultimately the construction of those projects, making sure they are not only timely and stylish but also incorporate techniques and processes that will enhance and increase the skills of our readers. He also spends time at WOOD helping to develop and produce woodworking how-to videos. In his spare time, he is in his shop designing and building furniture for his home and others.
Andy has been working with wood for as long as he can remember. His mother sewed his first shop apron for him when he was only six years old and he has not strayed far from the shop since then. His early woodworking career included helping to build the original Disneyland Toon Town, remodeling cruise ships, and providing high-end finish work in both residential and commercial applications. Andy's real love was furniture, however, and he gained a name for himself as a chair builder in the early 1990's.
Eventually, his love of teaching grew to the point where he opened his own school, Chidwick School of Fine Woodworking, in 2008.
Andy is also a seminar speaker at the nationally touring Woodworking Shows, where his "Woodworking Coach" sessions are always well attended. He enjoys inspiring others to learn from their mistakes and push beyond their own perceived limitations, breaking down advanced skills into manageable parts and finding innovative ways to use common tools.
Jim Heavey has been a woodworker for more than 40 years and a contributing craftsman and educator for WOOD magazine since 1997, where he has had his projects featured. Jim has also hosted a popular series of woodworking how-to videos, and for the past ten years presented educational programs nationally at The Woodworking Shows on behalf of WOOD.
In his role as educator, Jim strives to make woodworking fun for both novice and seasoned woodworkers by teaching techniques and providing information that will help them to produce a quality project at any level of expertise. Jim has taught both individual and group woodworking classes in his shop in Northern Illinois where he also produces furniture for his family. Through his work with 4-H, Jim enjoys giving back to the community while mentoring future woodworkers.
WOOD Tools Editor Bob Hunter learned his woodworking skills from an early age on an Indiana farm. One of three sons of a farmer/carpenter, Bob helped build houses—even designing two of them—and later began to build small furniture pieces. After getting a degree in journalism, Bob worked as a newspaper sports editor and farmer before joining WOOD, all the while remodeling two old homes and further developing his woodworking skills. Bob's primary responsibilities at WOOD revolve around producing tool-related articles and videos for the magazine and website. In his spare time Bob likes to build Shaker-style furniture and small box-joint or dovetailed boxes for gifts, and turns bowls on a lathe.
Newly arrived in the US from Wales, Terry Moore tried his hand at—what else?—rock music. When that gig ended however, he found himself working in one of the fine furniture capitals of the world, New Hampshire, as a maintenance man. Not satisfied to stop at making kitchen cabinets, Terry pushed his skills to master museum-quality furniture pieces. A founding member of the New Hampshire Furniture Masters, Terry works out of his one-man shop producing beautiful pieces of furniture. Additionally, he finds satisfaction in teaching fine woodworking to prison inmates in the state prison system, using woodworking as a vehicle to teach the life skills of patience, mindfulness, and gratitude.
John Olson started woodworking 23 years ago when he started hanging around his grandfather's shop after school to begin what would become an informal but intense 11-year apprenticeship. After college he worked for nine years in the 1875-era blacksmith and cabinetmaker shops at Living History Farms before joining the WOOD magazine staff as a design editor. His educational background has taught him the value of using both hand and power tools in his work. And John has a passion for tool making and forestry; in his free time he can either be found making planes, laminated chisels, and back saws, or milling his own lumber for woodworking projects.
A woodworker for over 20 years, WOOD Deputy Editor Craig Ruegsegger has been writing and producing woodworking content since 1999. As a long-time WOOD subscriber before joining the editorial team, Craig understands the attachment readers have to WOOD and enjoys creating content that keeps them looking forward to the next issue. Craig oversees the production of WOOD's seven special interest publications (SIP) each year and manages WOOD's production schedule, keeping articles moving through the creation and editing process. In addition to instructing readers through the pages and web site of WOOD magazine, his teaching experiences include presenting numerous live how-to seminars, and developing and producing a woodworking TV show.
Brian Simmons is a nationally known teacher, writer, and turner noted for his versatile use of the bowl gouge and proficient use of the skew chisel. He grew up woodworking with his father and, after seeing a magazine article on turning, became interested in woodturning. Shortly after that he began an informal yet cherished apprenticeship with internationally renowned turner Nick Cook. Since then he has studied with David Ellsworth, Willard Baxter, Dave Barriger, Chris Stott, Johannes Rieber, Soren Berger, George Hatfield, and Bob Rosand among others.
Although he makes reproduction and architectural turnings, gift items, and one-of-a-kind pieces regularly, his real passion lies in teaching. Since his first formal demonstration at age 15, Brian found teaching to be rewarding for him and his students, and he has taught at local, regional, and national conferences as well as at Highland Hardware, and John C. Campbell Folk School. His teaching strategies utilizes simple rationale to make tools work effectively and understand how they perform their specific functions. Brian has written for the American Woodturner and is also the Woodturning Consultant for WOOD magazine. There he tests products, designs projects, and produces turning how-to videos.
George Vondriska was in 6th grade when he had his first shop class. He decided he wanted to be a shop teacher, so George went on to take every shop class he could, get his teaching degree in Industrial Education, and teach junior and senior high school. George has found his niche in teaching adults, which he has done for more than 26 years. In addition to classes at his own Wild Earth Woodworking School, George teaches at woodworking shows and guilds across the country and has taught woodworking for Andersen Window, Northwest Airlines, and the Pentagon. And you may also recognize his name and face from more than 60 full-length woodworking videos he has hosted for the Woodworkers Guild of America website, presented by WOOD magazine.

Jessica Neilson led all scorers with 18 points, notching two tries and four converts. Dakota Conrad recorded a brace of tries, with further scores coming courtesy of Gen Bittorf, Claire Bunton, Alex McCawley and Kathlene Martin. Alex Harden tacked on a conversion to round out the scoring. In the double-A title match, Heritage Park of Mission, BC, downed Shawnigan Lake School 3-0.

Infused with a high concentration of all-natural Chamomile, Camocare is Abkit's anti-wrinkle line of all-natural products, all of which are priced under $20.00. Besides being an affordable skincare line for all types of skin care needs, Camocare claims that it is endorsed by leading dermatologists and nurses in the United States and Europe. Designed for sensitive skin types, each product is designed to take care of a different type of skin problem, with their Facial Therapy creams directed towards eliminating wrinkles and fine lines. According to Camocare, soothing Chamomile works by delivering antioxidant benefits to the skin cells, scientifically proven to bring skin back to a youthful appearance. They state that the product comes with no known side effects, and its easy availability online makes this a very suitable choice for consumers.
The availability and price of Camocare might please some consumers, but for those concerned about how it actually works, there is not much information available at this time. A lot can be derived by looking at its ingredients, which should offer a glimpse into its real anti-wrinkle fighting power. Camocore, unfortunately, is not as natural as it claims to be.
Product Details
Camocare's Facial Therapy cream contains these contents: Chamomile Extract In a Base of Deionized Water, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Glyceryl Stearate, Safflower Oil, Lanoline Oil, Squalane, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Pamlitate, Carbomer, Allantoin, Methylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Titanium Dioxide.
Camocare's main ingredient is, not surprisingly, Chamomile Extract. This naturally-based extract is a potent relaxant that helps relax muscle tissue when digested, and when applied to the skin it has numerous benefits. One of these benefits is the ability to soothe eczema or reddened skin. The natural chemicals in chamomile easily cure these symptoms and it is said to smooth the skin. However, there are no anti-wrinkle benefits connected with chamomile extra, although it may smooth out rough, patchy skin. It appears there are no other ingredients that contain any anti-wrinkle properties, which may be a detractor for those seeking a concrete anti-wrinkle cream. Chamomile could provide some general benefits to a user's skin, however, especially if it is generally irritated.
The Good
- Contains Chamomile Extract, a soothing herb that smooths rough and weathered skin.
- Camocare is very affordable and readily available through its website.
The Bad
- Contains many preservatives and other synthetic additives.
- Only contains one ingredient geared towards skin care.
- Contains no ingredients that are proven to fight wrinkles.
The Bottom Line
The use of Chamomile Extract is a nice additive and a viable selling point for Camocare, but adding more anti-wrinkle ingredients would help make this useful for everyone. For those seeking general benefits, Camocare might be ideal, but for those seeking wrinkle-targeted care, it may not offer what the best available solution.

Best Local Politician St. Louis 2001 - George "Buzz" Westfall
Readers' Choice: Mayor Francis Slay
The first job of a politician is to get elected. Buzz Westfall has been passing that test since 1978. He was elected three times as the county's prosecuting attorney, then won three elections to the county's top post. His 1990 win marked the first time since 1958 that a Democrat had become county executive. With his electoral success and his fundraising moxie, many wonder aloud why Buzz hasn't run for offices with more status, clout or geography, either statewide or in D.C. Well, he thought about it -- about 17 years ago. Back then, U.S. Sen. Thomas Eagleton took him to dinner and urged him to run for Missouri attorney general. "It was such a flattering experience that, had I been able to file that night, I might have done it," recalls Westfall. But then he went to dinner with his wife, Laurie, and they projected -- rather confidently, it seems -- what would happen if he won the race for attorney general, then won re-election, then won the governorship twice. "That would have been the next 16 years of our lives, living in Jefferson City. We're both from St. Louis, and we wanted no part of that," Westfall says. "With all due respect to Jefferson City, we're St. Louisans, and we wanted to raise our children in St. Louis. So I respectfully declined to the senator, who I worshiped then and still do, Tom Eagleton. That's why I've just been a local politician; I'm content to be a local politician and I'll play out the string here." The string appears to have grown longer. Westfall said just "eight or nine months ago" that he thought he had had enough of politics, but he's reconsidered. Part of his indecision about whether to run in 2002 has to do with the Russian-roulette game St. Louis voters play with the mayor. "I'm on my fourth mayor in 10 years. Just think about that when you're talking about continuity and city-county relations -- it's just hard to get going. You just get to start to know somebody, and they're gone." He admits that he and Clarence Harmon "did not have a good relationship personally" but that this has changed with the new mayor. "Now I've got a mayor that I respect and I like personally. That's what's changed biggest for me. That was a big factor in me reconsidering running, that Francis Slay won the race." Westfall backs the downtown stadium, but only if the Ballpark Village concept gets done. If the Cardinals move to the county or Illinois, he says, it will be the "death knell" for the city, and that's bad news for the 2.5 million people in the metro area. Westfall lived in the city until he was 25, starting out in the Clinton-Peabody projects up until the fourth grade. Then he moved north, living near Fairgrounds Park and attending Perpetual Help and Holy Rosary parochial schools. He still describes himself as a "city kid," even though he oversees 350,000 people in unincorporated St. Louis County and has indirect control over the rest of the 1 million suburbanites. The conversion of the Wagner Electric plant in Wellston into a job-training center and the memorial in Clayton constructed for policemen and firemen who have died in the line of duty are what he views as his recent accomplishments. To borrow U.S. Rep. Tip O'Neill's maxim, if all politics are local, then Buzz Westfall is all politics.

True Redemption
The passage of Scripture I want to call your attention to today is Ephesians 4:8-10,
Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men." (Now this, "He ascended"—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
Before Jesus ascended, what did He do? He descended. I didn't write that. The Bible says that. And when He descended, what did He do? He led captivity captive. That refers to the Old Testament saints who were in what is called "Abraham's bosom" or Paradise.
Jesus went down there. They were in captivity in the sense that they could not go to heaven until Christ's sacrifice. But after Christ died, having paid the price for our sins, He went and emptied Paradise and He led captivity captive. He brought those saints up to heaven.
Here is what I want you to picture. Jesus, through His death and resurrection, defeated hell and death. He took the keys away from the devil, stripped him of his power and his authority, and won redemption for the human race. Then He went to Paradise and there He saw Abraham, David, Moses, Ezekiel, Joshua, Esther, Ruth—all of the people who served the Lord under the Old Covenant.
He threw the door open and said, "Hey, guys! Time to come home! It's been done! The thing the prophets prophesied about, here I am! I am the reality. Time to leave this place and come to heaven with me!"
Then He who descended, ascended, leading all of those Old Testament saints to heaven with Him! And He sent back the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost to empower us to tell the story of His resurrection and His victory.
Let us make that our passion! To proclaim the resurrected Jesus who has paid the price for our redemption.

It applies better wet than dry with more color payoff and a smoother texture. This one was a little chunky in texture; it wasn't as smooth as the other shades. It felt like this was more designed to layer over other shades. Illamasqua Beguile is very similar. MAC If It Sparkles… is almost the same as well. This is the most wearable shade on its own (Ecailles would the the runner-up). (9, 9, 9, 10, 4.5, 4; A-)

Once again, the Stratford baseball team will be counting heavily on youth.
Of the 15 players on the roster, 10 are underclassmen. The Knights have just three seniors as they try to get back in the playoffs after missing the postseason last spring.
"We are still young but we're excited to see if we can compete this year and improve on last year's record," Stratford coach John Chalus said. "We were 8-14 last year, our first losing season in 28 years. We will count on leadership from our three seniors and ask for maturity from our young players."
Senior right fielder Michael Punteney is the lone three-year starter returning and could be a good bat in the middle of the order.
Other returning starters in the field include junior catcher Jordan Lacavera, junior center fielder Taylor Morrison and freshman JD Davis.
Several arms are returning on the hill, including 2012 wins leader Jamison Mobbs, a sophomore righty. Sophomore Eddie Hiott is back too after starting last season 2-0 before suffering a season-ending injury.
Both players are candidates to play on the corner of the infield or in the outfield also.
Senior closer Chase Fowler returns too and figures to start games on the bump this season. He's slated to start at third base and could provide pop in the middle of the order.
Senior Angel Guerrero also has some experience on the mound.
Chalus said several other spots in the field are up for grabs. Sophomores Daniel Carter and Chance Smith are fighting for time in the outfield, while freshmen Austin Chesser, Jacob Morrison, Justin Walker and Mikey White are competing for spots on the infield.
The Knights were set to travel to Beaufort Monday and Wednesday of this week and open the home slate on Friday night against Fort Dorchester. They host Ashley Ridge on March 11 and Summerville March 13.

Mamadou Danso Gets Named Brine-NAIA All-AmericanDecember 11, 2008
Another award for Mamadou "Futty" Danso. This time it is on the national level. After being named the 2008 Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) Player of the Year, Offensive Player of Year, First Team Selection ('07 and '08) and Newcomer of the Year ('07), Danso was honored by the NAIA as a member of the 2008 All-American Honorable Mention Team.
Danso's season for the Hornets was truly remarkable. He lead the SSAC in Goals, Shot, Shots on Goal, and Points per game. He was also in the top five nationally in all those categories. He was the only person in the nation to have such a statistically strong year, being the only one in the nation to be in the top five in all those categories! The amazing part is that he did all of this while playing as a Center Back for the last seven matches of the season. Equally impressive is that he was named the SSAC Offensive Player of the Week and SSAC Defensive Player of the Week in the same season.
Danso ended the 2008 season with 19 goals, 6 assists in only 14 matches. He helped the second year Hornet program to a 12-5-1 record and a 7-2 SSAC record. SPSU got ranked #18 in the nation and finished tied for second place in the conference. He registered a point in every match that he played except for the University of the Cumberlands match, when the Hornets were held without a goal, the only time all year that this occurred when Danso played.
"I am truly happy for Futty for getting this award. He has always been very reluctant to play as a Forward, as his natural position is a Center Back. He will be a professional in that position. He never felt comfortable as a Forward. He just did it because it was best for the team", said SPSU Coach Momeni.
Danso's story just doesn't end there. Few people know of the adversity that he has gone through during the season. First, it started off by his missing of preseason. He did not participate one day of preseason because of issues overseas. He adjusted but did not start a single match until the twelfth match of the season.
Secondly, he is a devout Muslim, so he fasted the entire month of September. "There were times where we would have a 5 pm or 6 pm kickoff in 90 degrees temperature and he had nothing to drink or eat since 6:45 am. It was very difficult for him, but he never complained. It showed how mentally and physically tough he is", said Coach Momeni.
Finally, he suffered a neck injured during the Milligan match that required an ambulance ride, a series of X-rays and MRI's, and a neck brace for two weeks.
"Futty's story is pretty interesting. It is great what he has done on the soccer field, but when you put it in the context of all he has gone through, it is truly amazing. I am honored to call him our (Hornet's) first All-American!"

Drug Raids, Related Trauma, On Rise
Publication Date:March 11, 2007
Source:New Jersey Herald News
Author:Suzanne Travers
SWAT teams are becoming more and more aggressive in their search and seizure tactics during drug raids, and they inflict greater trauma on those being searched. Professor Weisberg is quoted here about the use of search warrants:
"The United States Supreme Court has never actually said that the warrant must be shown," said Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford University Law School. "As the court says, the real purpose of a warrant is not to give any sort of notice to the person whose privacy is being invaded, its purpose is to have a branch of government to monitor the police," Weisberg said.
