I didn't know this. Someone I found myself on Wikipedia looking at gerstmann syndrome then wondered if Jeff was related to Josef Gerstmann googled him and found out about his shocking past as a singer in a band called Headboard? This is amazing. Also the songs are pretty good. Also the one the only Alex Navarro also a drummer in said band? This was 1996! Also one of their songs is featured on Degrassi High o.o I'm so confused right now. Would love to see a band reunion someday on UPF. I'd love to hear some more songs out of Jeff.
Jeff's actually been with a few different acts over the years. He was with Headboard, but he also did some stuff with Suburban All-Stars, and the one you should really be looking out for is Midnight Brown. There are four separate Midnight Brown albums, all free for download and jam-packed full of Jeff.
Jeff is still a rockstar.
@joshwent: That song is magical.

That's nothing, Jeff Gerstmann was also in a dirty rap group with none other than world famous (god rest his soul) Ryan T Davis called Suburban All-Stars. Theres an album of there's called Karaoke Godfathers some where in the ethers of the internet if you can find it.
I love that song and have never seen it to that video. Damn.

jeff is the fucking man
From his Tumblr (from today, actually!):
"It will always be hilarious to me that people know who Tsunami Bomb is. To me that was always the band that Dominic started because he was angry about Headboard (right down to writing a song about it). I was angry about Headboard and started a group out of it, too, but never felt the need to write songs about it. If I remember correctly, they went on to kick him out of his own band, which seemed like a pretty shitty thing to do.
I don't know Mike Park, but I think we played at Ska Against Racism once?
Anyway, Headboard was not big. It probably got a little more exposure after Brendan and I left, since we were more or less preventing it from becoming a stone cold business that was very much into making whatever music it'd need to make to find a record deal. But that was probably also the mentality that destroyed the whole thing, in the end. Typical band shit, really. I really enjoyed writing new material and playing shows. It was a fun group of people and led to some really strange times, but it was intensely frustrating at times and really wasn't something I was going to quit my day job over.
I can only imagine that these same events play themselves out over and over again around here with different people plugged into the slots, since it all seems like such standard band/scene shit. But I don't really keep up with it these days."

Apple: Consumer demand for the iPad 2 is "amazing"
The Loop was able to speak with Apple Spokesperson Trudy Muller today, who stated Apple saw consumer demand for the iPad 2 launch last Friday to be "amazing".
"Demand for the next generation iPad 2 has been amazing," Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller, told The Loop. "We are working hard to get iPad 2 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible."
Apple hasn't announced how many iPad 2 units were sold over the opening weekend, but our guess is that Apple sold every single unit they were able to make and if they'd been able to make more, they'd have sold more. It took the original iPad 28 days to reach 1 million units. iPad 2 might easily have beaten that i
but so far it seems initial demand may outweigh the original iPad and could easily beat the first iPad to 1 million sales (the original iPad took 28 days to reach 1 million).
So how many units of the iPad 2 do you think Apple has sold so far? Let us know in the comments!

Apple: Consumer demand for the iPad 2 is "amazing"
Activating reality distortion field!
Amazing, incredible, revolutionary, you will be flummoxed if you don't buy one!! Buy while stocks last! It's selling like water!! Get yours!! Don't wait!!
Field off!
As far as I know, the lines were nowhere near iPad or iPhone 4. No numbers? Strange...
Actually I've heard a number of reports (sorry, no links off the top of my head) that iPad 2 lines were longer than iPad 1 launch day lines.
@Ncarcioca......I know for a fact some lines were longer.........I stood in one at iPad 1 launch and it had about 25 people. Went to same Best Buy store for iPad 2 launch and the line was 100+. So I do now know where you are getting your reports from.
Apple Retail stores tend to receive shipments of new product two to three times per week. My local store gets them on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I got the iPad 2 but I didn't have the first one. I don't think I would have got it if I would of had the first one.
i agree, plus i want to wait until some of the problems go away, the yellow tinting and the screen bleed through
For those complaining about 3~4 weeks shipping or whatever it's up to now ... Imagine having to have waited until the 25th to even order only to find out it's been pushed back a few months... I can't say I'd be surprised if the international release date gets pushed back.
and we had those damn canadians come to the states and buy them all up.
You're comparing a device in which the demand is higher than the supply (the iPad) to devices where the supply is greater than the demand (BlackBerry).
Plus it depends on the market - I don't know enough bout the Canadian mobile market to know how it compares to the US but if BB stands to sell 1 million devices in the US versus 250,000 in Canada then their priority, as a business, would be the US.
There are too many variables for me to be more specific however I don't know of any BB devices recently that were in such high demand that supply was an issue.
They have only a few options:
1. Make enough devices to meet demand (which they would, if they could).
2. Do their best to meet the demand in the US and make as many sales as possible (likely).
3. Only release a certain amount to the US regardless of demand, and then make the rest available internationally (not as likely).
They're going to do what is best for them and I think that if the first place they start to sell them sells them out, any secondary locations are going to be "SOL" until they can make more of them.
On a side-note, mine is in Anchorage Alaska and should be here by Thursday :)
PS - Rogers almost always got BB OS updates before any other carrier, usually by a couple of weeks.
Not a large Demand? The line at 4:45 at my local mall was down a huge hallway, and then wrapped around outside of a department store. I left to go to best buy after I saw the line. They obviously create a shortage but saying that there is little demand is crazy.
*wrapped around the outside of a department store
I just drove up to the local Apple Store (only one in my state) and the staff were telling me they're getting more in tomorrow but that they're likely to sell out within minutes simply because they expect a huge line long before they even open.
The sad part is - they're not even 100% sure the delivery will be in the morning. It could be as late as 4 or 5 PM.
fo' shizzle!
So ... get one? :)
While I think they the iPad 2 is popular, I also think Apple knew full well that they didn't have enough to meet demand. I know of a few local Walmarts and Targets that only received 5-10 TOTAL units. Of course that isn't going to meet demand. So, say 20 people show up to get one. Then the 10 that didn't now are "frantic" to get one cause they had their heart set on one that day. So they run to another store in a panic, which others see, and start to panic that they need to get one ASAP, otherwise there won't be one when they want it. So it just spreads.
It's the typical mass hysteria play. Apple knows they can do it too, because of all the religious zealots who will support this behavior, will camp out for days like fools, giving Apple even more publicity and power.
Don't get me wrong. I like Apple products. I had an iPhone 3G, now an iPhone 4, and I will eventually be getting an iPad 2. But come on, people, see past the hype. Apple's marketing people are geniuses because they know they can do this type of thing, they know how to stir up unnecessary hype, and how to get people to fall for it hook, line and sinker.
Everyone that wants one will eventually get one. But don't let Apple convince you (or you convince yourself), that somehow it makes you cooler, or better, or more special to have one in the first 2 days, vs someone else who gets one 2 weeks from now. Because, let me tell you, it really doesn't....
Eh, I think apple released as many as they could make for launch day. Lets look at other tablet releases, such as Xoom and Galaxy Tab, nether of these tabs created launch day demand like Apple, what would you have Apple do? Delay launch until they can fill any possible demand? No, they must start to sell at some point. I have mine on order, I wish i had one now but ill get it soon enough.
Hi Yolande,I just discovered your website and I love it! I'm trying to make one too and yours is very inspiring in its structure and clarity.Well done!

Killing The Best Hope For Public Housing
October 22, 2013
Nicole Gelinas
It may be the last, best hope for public housing in the city, but it will need the support of the next mayor and Bill de Blasio, up by 44 points in the latest poll over Joe Lhota, is against it. Too bad for New Yorks 403,736 public-housing residents.
The problem: Gothams public housing, more than half a century old, is crumbling.
Fred Harris, real-estate chief at the New York City Housing Authority, told the Municipal Art Society last week it would cost NYCHA $17 billion to get its 2,596 buildings into a state of good repair. NYCHA racks up $3 million a day in maintenance bills.
The money is not coming from the federal government, Harris notes. And de Blasio is pushing his tax hike to pay for education, not public housing.
So NYCHA is trying to help itself. It wants to lease 14 empty lots at public-housing developments in prime Manhattan areas to developers (who are supposed to make expressions of interests by next month).
Builders would pay about $30 million to $50 million annually over 99 years for the right to build and manage 3,200 new apartments. NYCHA would use that cash to borrow $892 million and fix up public housing at the same sites.
Its hard to see whats wrong with this plan. It doesnt kick out tenants; it makes their apartments nicer and it doesnt tear down historic buildings.
It would improve neighborhoods. Last century, master builder Robert Moses envisioned public housing as towers in the park complexes devoid of stores and isolated from streets. This legacy means that as NYCHA picks land to develop, it can show a strong preference for parking lots, notes Harris, who rides his bicycle to meetings and sounds more like an urbanist than a bureaucrat.
Eleven of the sites NYCHA wants to develop are parking lots. Such lots make no sense, particularly at a place like the Frederick Douglass Houses, about a two-minute walk to three subway lines. Residents would be better off with new neighbors as well as new shops and restaurants plus, again, renovations to their buildings.
The project doesnt entail mass construction no new superblocks here.
The problem: Only 800 of the new apartments would be affordable to moderate-income residents (people who earn about half the citys average income).
The rest would be market rate probably $3,000 a month for a one-bedroom.
Thats caused a political ruckus. Earlier this month, the City Council teamed up with the tenants associations of the Douglass and the Baruch houses to stop the plan. Their lawsuit complains that the plan violates NYCHAs mission of providing affordable housing.
De Blasio sides with the tenant advocates (the lefts equivalent of Tea Party ideologues). He opposed the NYCHA plan during primary season. Monday, he repeated, NYCHA land is not for luxury condos. Any . . . plan must include substantial amounts of affordable housing. His pie-in-the-sky solution is to rally the countrys cities around a new urban agenda in Congress for public housing.
Sorry: The only way to help NYCHAs poorer residents is to attract upper-income residents.
The people who live in new buildings will pay their own rent and subsidize public housing, too. Adding more apartments for lower-income residents would make the whole plan unaffordable meaning no repair money and no new apartments for anyone.
And the people who live in market-rate rentals not luxury condos are hardly the 1 percent. Theyre New Yorks professional middle class.
If these newcomers couldnt live in fake-wood-floor luxury, theyd be competing with poorer tenants for a smaller supply of private apartments.
But New York isnt having much of a debate. Lhota agrees with the concept of NYCHAs plan. But hes hardly drawn much of a contrast.
Lhota should be pointing out that, in his two New Yorks tack, de Blasio is demonizing market-rate renters who have just as much trouble finding a place to live as everyone else in this town.

A body panel joint finishing method to produce a finished body panel joint by molding a bead directly to a vehicle body in a single operation without any need for secondary processing to remove excess materials. The method utilizes a foamable plastic as the bead forming material to provide greatly improved sealing property for moisture prevention in the gaps of the sheet metal body panel joints.
1. A method of finishing joints in a body where two or more adjacent body panels are joined together forming a trough-like joint in between the panels by molding a plastic bead in said joint, said bead having a finished surface without any extraneous material to be removed while effecting an aesthetic quality and watertight seal, said method comprising the steps of:
pressing a mold against said body overlaying the joint, said mold comprising a feed hole and an interior cavity-defining surface having a contour of the bead surface to be formed, said mold being made of a pliable material effecting a tight seal between surfaces of the mold and of the body;
injecting a bead-forming material through said feed hole into a mold cavity defined by said interior cavity-defining surface and said trough-like joint surface;
curing said bead material in said mold until such time that the bead material has adhered to the body; and
removing said mold from said body, whereby an aesthetic quality bead is formed in said trough-like joint between the panels achieving a watertight seal.
2. A method of finishing joints in an automobile body where two or more adjacent flanged body panels are joined together at the flanges in a joint that has a trough between said adjacent panels running the length of the joint, said method being characterized by molding a polyurethane bead in said trough so that said bead has a finished surface without any extraneous material to be removed while effecting an aesthetic quality and watertight seal, said method comprising the steps of:
pressing a mold overlaying the length of the joint against said vehicle body with sufficient force, said mold comprising two ridge portions spaced apart to sealingly engage the shoulder section of the trough, a feed hole, an interior cavity-defining surface having a contour of the bead surface to be formed, and two end blocks spaced apart sealing the ends of the mold at least one of said blocks having a small vent hole, said mold being made of a pliable silicone rubber material effecting a tight seal between surfaces of the mold and of the vehicle body;
injecting a bead-forming polyurethane material through said feed hole under sufficient pressure to completely fill the cavity defined by said interior cavity-defining surface and said end blocks in the mold and said trough surface in the vehicle body;
curing said urethane material in said mold until such time that the urethane material has adhered to the body; and
removing said mold from said body, whereby an aesthetic quality bead is formed in said trough between the panels achieving a watertight seal.
The present invention generally relates to a method of finishing body panel joints in a vehicle and, more particularly, it is concerned with a method of finishing a body panel joint by molding a plastic bead directly to the vehicle body in a single operation without any need of secondary processing to finish off the molding.
Automotive sheet metal body panels are generally joined together by welding their overlapped depression edges in a lap weld process. A typical lap welded joint can be found at the roof panel/quarter panel joint and at the roof panel/window pillar panel joint. To improve the aesthetics and to prevent moisture penetration into the resulting trough-like joints, the joints are filled with a plastisol or a lead-based solder. In certain other applications, studs are welded to the joint first and then moldings are installed onto the stud to decorate the joint.
When the plastisol coating method is used, a body panel joint of poor aesthetic quality is obtained since there is no bead or molding to hide the trough-like joint. Furthermore, the plastisol coating frequently does not provide adequate protection to moisture penetration at locations where the gap between panels at the lap joint is larger than the allowed tolerances. Moisture penetration through the welded joint leads to rust problems in the sheet metal body.
In applications where metal or plastic moldings are installed over welded studs after the gap is first coated with plastisol, the aesthetic quality of the joint is improved but at greatly added manufacturing cost. Moreover, no improvement in the moisture penetration protection is made by the addition of the molding.
In other applications where lead-based solder is used, the trough-like joints are first over-filled with the solder material. The excess solder must then be skived off the joint area before it solidifies and the joint must then be sanded to form a smooth feather edge with the adjacent sheet metal panels before painting. This proves to be a very labor intensive process and the resulting quality of the finished joint is very operator-dependent.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a body panel joint finishing method capable of producing finished body panel joints having exceptional aesthetic and moisture prevention properties.
It is a more particular object of this invention to provide a method of obtaining a finished body panel joint molded directly to the vehicle body without any need for secondary processing to remove excess materials.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method of finishing body panel joints by molding directly to the vehicle body a foamable material which provides greatly improved sealing property for moisture prevention in the gaps of the sheet metal lap joints.
The present invention provides a method of finishing body panel joints having exceptional aesthetic and moisture prevention properties. A plastic material is injection molded directly into a trough-like body panel joint resulting in a bead having a finished exterior surface. No secondary processing is required to remove any excess materials from the finished bead by skiving or by sanding. A suitable material is a foamable plastic which under its injection pressure and its foaming pressure flows and expands in the trough-like joint to completely fill the gap between the body panels at the lap joint. Consequently, a foamable plastic provides greatly improved sealing property for moisture prevention in a body panel lap joint.
My novel technique provides a finished body panel joint in one operation in which a plastic material is injected directly into a trough-like joint forming a bead with a finished surface. Two major benefits are obtained with this novel technique. First, there is no excess material to be removed from the bead after molding thus providing a very economical and labor-saving process. Secondly, the foamable feature of the plastic material contributes to greatly improved sealing property in the lap welded joint preventing moisture penetration and potential rust problems.
My bead-molding technique is particularly applicable in sheet metal panels joined together by the lap-weld process. In a lap welded joint, the edges of two sheet metal panels are bent into right angle flanges and spot welded together forming a trough in the joint. This trough-like joint provides an ideal space to be filled in by a plastic bead injected by my bead molding technique.
In accordance with a preferred practice of my invention, a method of injection molding a foamable plastic material directly to a body panel joint providing a bead having a finished surface can be practiced by the following operative steps:
A mold is first made to the contour of the body panels of the area of the joint. The length of the mold is made adequate to cover the full length of the joint. The mold contains a feed hole and an interior mold surface having the same contour and the same surface finish of the plastic bead to be formed. It is preferably made of a pliable rubber material to enable a tight seal between surfaces of the mold and of the vehicle body when such mold is pressed against the vehicle body. After the mold is mounted on the vehicle body overlaying the body panel joint, a bead-forming material, preferably a foamable plastic like polyurethane, is injected through the feed-hole into the mold cavity formed by the interior mold surface and the surface of the trough-like joint. A short period of time is allowed for the bead-forming material to cure in the mold and to adhere securely to the vehicle body. The mold is then removed from the vehicle body.
A molded plastic bead having a finished surface is now securely attached to the vehicle body in the trough-like body panel joint. No secondary processing to remove any excess material from the bead is necessary. The sealing property of the plastic bead against moisture penetration into the body panel joint is far superior to other conventionally used methods such as plastisol coatings.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the specification and the appended drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a section of the mold being removed from the vehicle body after a plastic bead is molded in the trough-like joint.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional molding installed on welded studs in a trough-like body panel joint.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing sheet metal body panels welded together in a lap weld.
FIG. 4 is a sectional veiw showing a bead forming material being injected into a mold mounted on the vehicle body.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a body panel joint containing a finished bead molded therein.
My novel invention is a method of finishing a body panel joint in a single operation by injection molding a plastic bead directly into a trough-like joint. I have discovered that by using a foamable plastic as the bead-forming material, the sealing property of the joint against moisture penetration is greatly improved. My technique eliminates all the laborious secondary processing required in conventional soldering processes where excess materials must be removed and a smooth finished surface must be prepared by sanding for painting. In other words, a finished body panel joint can be completed in less than a minute when a fast curing foamable plastic material is used as the bead-forming material. This process is applicable either on the automobile assembly line or off the assembly line. It can be used either before a vehicle body is painted or after it is painted. In the case where a bead is molded in the body panel joint before the vehicle is painted, a high temperature resistant bead-forming material having a paintable surface can be readily painted with the rest of the vehicle and baked through the paint-baking cycle. When a bead is molded on a vehicle that has already been painted, a color-matched bead-forming material may be used. Alternatively, a black colored bead may be used which blends in with many automotive colors.
Referring initially to FIG. 1, it is shown that a mold 10 is being removed from a vehicle body 12. In mold 10, a feed opening 14 is formed at the entrance of the feed hole 16 to facilitate the injection of bead-forming materials. The interior mold surface 18 contains ridges 20 and 22 to sealingly engage the shoulder portions 38 and 40 in the trough and cavity defining surface 24 to form the bead 26. Sheet metal panels 28 and 30 are lap welded together at 32. Two end blocks 34 are built into mold 10 at each end to form the end portions of the bead 26. A small vent hole 36 is drilled into end block 34 to allow air to escape during the injection process of the bead-forming material.
I have found a suitable mold-making material is a casting grade silicone rubber compound. Silicone rubber molds are desirable because they are pliable and can be pressed tightly against the sheet metal body forming a seal at ridges 20 and 22 (FIG. 1) to prevent leakage of the bead-forming material into the interface between the mold and sheet metal body. Silicone rubber also has a desirable non-sticking property so that the mold can be easily released from the bead surface after the bead-forming material is cured in the cavity. A suitable silicone rubber to be used is RTV-21 made by G.E. Other elastomeric materials such as urethane and fluorosilicone may also be used to make the mold. An important factor to consider is that the mold should be easily separable from the bead after molding.
I have also discovered that a convenient technique of making the mold is first preparing a replica of the sheet metal surface containing the body panel joint. A bead having a desirable surface carved from clay material is then placed in the trough-like joint. A box section containing four walls is then built on this sheet metal replica surrounding the body panel joint to be filled. A silicone rubber compound is poured into this casting box to a suitable depth. After the silicone rubber mold is cured, it is removed from the casting box. A mold with an interior surface duplicating exactly that of the sheet metal body and the bead is now constructed. A feed hole can be drilled into the mold to provide access to the cavity section.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a prior art technique where a molding is installed over weld-studs. Mounting studs 44 are first welded to sheet metal panel 28 at 46. A conventional metal or plastic molding 42 is then fitted over the weld-stud 44. In this method a sealing material is additionally used to cover the joint 32 between sheet metal 30 and 28. This sealing material does not provide a perfect seal against moisture prevention, especially when the gap at 32 is larger than that allowed by the specification.
FIG. 3 shows a lap-weld construction where sheet metal panels 28 and 30 are bent at the edges forming right angle flanges 34 and 36, and then welded together at 32 making a trough-like joint. I have discovered that the best joint width 52 between sheet metal panels 28 and 30 is approximately 4 mm for the application of the present technique.
After mold 10 is tightly pressed against the sheet metal body 12, as shown in FIG. 4, a bead-forming material is injected into the cavity formed between the cavity surface 24 of mold 10 and surface 48 of the trough-like joint. A tight seal between ridges 20 and 22 of mold 10 and the shoulder sections 38 and 40 of the trough is formed to prevent potential leakage of the bead-forming material. A paintable and room temperature curable urethane bead-forming material supplied by REN Plastics (grade # 6422) was used. This material was injected from a hand-operated injection gun at a pressure of approximately 100 psi. The urethane material is forced into the cavity under the injection pressure and foams immediately to fill the cavity. The expansion of the foaming material forces it into the gaps between panels 28 and 30, thus providing a greatly improved seal against moisture penetration. Any other plastic material that can be room temperature cured in a relatively short period of time may also be used for this process. For instance, a two-component urethane material having a cure time of less than one minute which can be injected at low pressure is ideal for this application.
FIG. 5 shows a completed bead 26 permanently adhered to sheet metal body 12. The surface 54 of the bead 26 may be made smooth or textured by embossing the cavity surface 24 (FIG. 1). The color of the bead material may be made black to go with most paint colors. The bead may also be painted with the vehicle body in a paint cycle. In such applications, the bead material should be selected such that it is compatible with paint and that it is resistant to the paint bake temperatures.
It should be noted that even though a sheet metal body has been described here, this novel technique of bead-molding is applicable to body panels made of any materials. For instance, it is equally applicable to body panel joints of sheet molding compound or reaction injection molded plastic panels which are widely used in the automotive industry today. Similarly, this bead-molding technique may also be applied to bodies other than that of a vehicle.
While my invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment thereof, it is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art will readily apply these teachings to other possible variations of the invention.

Project to recognize W.Va.'s military members
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Photos are being sought for a state project recognizing West Virginia's military members.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's office says the photos will be displayed on a "Military Recognition" tree at the Capitol. The tree will be in the governor's reception room during the holiday season.
Tomblin says in a news release that the tree is a way to display gratitude to West Virginians serving in the military.
Photos can be submitted to the governor's office through Nov. 23. A form and tag can be downloaded from the governor's website, www.governor.wv.gov .

Noordin Mohammad Top (11 August 1968 – 17 September 2009), of Malaysian citizenship, was a Muslim extremist, also referred to as (Noordin) Din Moch Top, Muh Top, or Mat Top, and Indonesia's most wanted Islamist militant.[1][2] Born in Kluang, Johor, Malaysia, he is thought to have been a key bomb maker and/or financier for Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and to have left JI and set up a more violent splinter group Tanzim Qaedat al-Jihad.[3] Noordin was reported by the FBI to be "an explosives expert". The FBI also has reported him to be "an officer, recruiter, bomb maker and trainer for the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group."[4]
Noordin and Azahari Husin were thought to have masterminded the 2003 JW Marriott hotel bombing in Jakarta, the 2004 Australian embassy bombing in Jakarta, the 2005 Bali bombings and the 2009 JW Marriott - Ritz-Carlton bombings,[5] and Noordin may have assisted in the 2002 Bali Bombings.[6]
Noordin, allegedly nicknamed "Money man", was an indoctrinator who was specialised in recruiting militants into becoming suicide bombers and collecting funds for militant activities.[7]
Having long since been wanted by Malaysian and Indonesian authorities he was added to the FBI's third major "wanted" list in 2006. FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.[8]
He was killed during a police raid in Solo, Central Java, on the 17th of September 2009 conducted by the Indonesian anti-terrorist team, Densus 88.[9]
It is thought that Noordin may have assisted in planning the 2002 Bali Bombings, in which 202 people were killed.[6]
On 5 August 2003 a suicide bomber detonated a car bomb outside the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, killing 12 people and injuring 150. Jemaah Islamiyah was suspected of responsibility for the bombing.[10]
In July 2004 a car bomb was exploded outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta, killing several people including the suicide bomber and wounding over 140 others.[11] Jemaah Islamiyah with Azahari Husin and Noordin M. Top were suspected of being behind the bombing.[12]
On 1 October 2005 bombs were detonated in Jimbaran and Kuta in Bali. The bombings killed 23 people, including three bombers trained by Noordin.[9][13]
In July 2009, two suicide bombers killed seven people at the Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott hotels in Jakarta. Local anti-terrorism officials said that there were "strong indications" that Noordin Top was behind the attacks.[4]
Fugitive trail[edit]
On 21 July 2005, Irun Hidayat was convicted of being an accessory by providing a house to Azahari Husin and Noordin Top.
After the October 2005 attack, a Philippine security official said that for months intelligence officials in Southeast Asia had received information that the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah group was orchestrating a major strike, possibly in the Philippines or Indonesia, but were unable to uncover the plot's details in time to prevent it.[14]
Mbai identified the chief suspect in the 2005 attack as Azahari Husin, who was thought to collaborate with the second suspect Noordin, whose wife was sentenced to three years in prison for harbouring him.[15] Azahari Husin was later killed in a raid in November 2005.
On 24 February 2006 the FBI added Noordin among three names to the Seeking Information – War on Terrorism list.[16]
On 29 April 2006 he narrowly escaped capture after his safe-house was raided by heavily armed Indonesian police in Binangun, Central Java. In the altercation, Abdul Hadi and Jabir were killed.[17]
In June 2006 it was reported that Noordin was threatening more attacks in video tapes recovered by Indonesian authorities and police believe that he may have formed his own organisation outside JI.[18]
On 8 August 2009 there were media reports that he had been killed during a shooting with police near Temanggung, a village in Central Java. Forensic testing conducted by Indonesian police however, disproved this speculation. A body recovered from the ambush site was instead found to be Ibrohim, a key organiser of the 2009 Jakarta bombings.[19]
|Wikinews has related news: Wikinews Shorts: 9 August 2009#Indonesia's most wanted man believed to be killed
Indonesian National Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri announced on 17 September 2009 that Noordin was killed in a police raid along with three other terrorists. Police hunting for suspects in bombings of July 2009 tracked the seven suspects to Solo in Central Java and besieged a village house on the outskirts overnight. The raid ended near daybreak when an explosion was detonated inside the home. Four suspected militants were killed and three were captured. The operation left behind a charred house with no roof and blown-out walls. The bodies were flown to Jakarta for autopsies.[20]
Among the four bodies recovered after the raid a corpse was identified as Noordin's;[21] fingerprints taken from the Indonesian corpse matched samples obtained from Malaysia. A similarity was found in at least 14 minutiae points.[22] On 19 September 2009, Indonesian National Police spokesperson announced that a DNA test was also carried out and it was proved that the body is Noordin's.[23] According to a police intelligence officer, the renter of the house, "Susilo", Noordin's close associate Bagus Budi Pranoto, alias "Urwah" and Aryo Sudarso, alias Mistam Hisamuddin, were killed in the raid, along with Noordin.[24] Police were led to the house after arresting Indonesian militant Rohmat Puji Prabowo at a marketplace in Solo on 16 September.[25]
Sidney Jones, the South east Asia programme director of the International Crisis Group commented that Noordin's death was "a huge blow for the extremist organizations in Indonesia and the region", because "there isn't another radical leader in Indonesia who has given that same message so consistently."[1]
During his exiles and escapes from police raids, Noordin married several women in Indonesia and produced several children from those marriages.
He married Munfiatun AKA Fitri on 7 July 2004. Fitri was sentenced to three years in prison for protecting him. He also married an unidentified woman in Rokan Hilir, Riau, during his exile after the first Bali Bombing. Around 2007, he also married Ariani Rahma during his exile in Cilacap. One other unidentified woman was also believed to be Noordin's wife during his time in police custody. These marriages were believed to be a part of his strategy to socialise with the local people to keep his identity secret. His first wife was an Indonesian-born Malaysian woman, who now lives in Johor, Malaysia, with their son.[26][27]

Why are deer hit by cars so often?
What makes a deer run across the road in front of a car? Is it the bright lights? Why would a deer run towards the lights? Can somebody please explain why this animal is so stupid?
Show all answers
Post your answer
Evan C
there lives suck...they are just there to be hunted....
Was this answer helpful to you?
yeah they do seem quite stupid but they are the one animal that claims the most lives in the US every year. Its partially due to the overpopulation of the species and partly due to the fact that as we as humans encroach into their natural environment they are forced to cross roads to get from one food/water source to another. As far as the lights go, well what would be your natural reaction if you saw bright lights headed at you. Move of course, well most people freeze especially if its something that they are not use to coming in contact with.
Was this answer helpful to you?
A couple of reasons:
* The edges of many roads have tall grass and other vegetation that deer like to eat, so they are drawn to roads
* Deer are constantly moving among different areas, and they use roads as travel corridors
* Deer escape natural predators by zigzagging--this works great for escaping coyotes and wolves, but with cars traveling in a straight line, it causes the deer to run into the cars
* Most deer collisions occur at night--deer have very good night vision which makes them sensitive to light, so they are temporarily blinded by headlights, which draws them back to the roads because they can't see in the brush

What makes people drive their cars through the deer's home?
I don't know, but we like building our roads through their homes. So we drive through their houses, because that's what humans do.

deer can appear suddenly. If one is standing along side the road, it will watch the car but when the car gets close the deer gets scared and jumps, usually in the direction they were heading. they are not stupid, if you see one blow your horn and slow down. deer horns do not work anymore, there are so many of them and they have become part of the back ground noise now<

Deers are not stupid. They just have bad timing (at least the ones that get hit).

Because if they were hit by snowballs, it wouldn't make the news.
Deer? What about rabbits, skunks, racoons, opossums, cats and dogs. These get hit much more often than deer.
You think the animals are stupid? Would you expect a two year old human being to behave any smarter than a deer?
Was this answer helpful to you?
They're not.
Do you really think deer are more stupid than humans? Think about it. You never hear about deers killing each other because they don't agree with what the other deer does, or that one group of deer thinks the other group of deer should be more "democratic".
People get killed on the road all the time too.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Lights actually blind the deer, if you come up on one turn your lights off just for a brief second so that he can see where to run. There not stupid. Just blinded.

People take away their natural habitat non-stop by continually expanding cities and suburbs, forcing deer to cross things like man-made roads in search of basic things we take for granted like food, water, and shelter.
Deer have a natural reflex to freeze when they're shined with bright lights at night - just like racoons and probably dozens of other wild animals also do. In the wild (without people) how many times do think a deer gets shined in the eyes in the dead of night by anything as bright as a set of halogen headlights?
As far as why they're "so stupid", deer are wild animals not people. You can't assume deer think like a person would. Deer don't just cross roads or freeze when they see headlights because they know it's dangerous and are looking for some adventure - they do what they do because they have no idea they're in danger until it's often too late.
Besides, you'd probably do lots of "stupid" things too if you had to worry about where and when your next meal might be and where each sip of water you got was coming from every minute of your life.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Deer are not stupid animals, your trying to compare them alongside human intelligence or something. Deer are wild animals and they don't understand even the basic things we do. We build roads through their habitat and push these animals into small areas of greenspace where they're bound to have a conflict with are life. Do you think a deer understands what a blinding light coming at them at 50mph is? They get terrified and often just stand in shock in the road, or the light may confuse them enough jump unintentionally in front of the car.

The second round of matches of the group stage kicks off with a Group A clash between Brazil and Mexico. Recent meeting between the two sides have been one sided encounters with Brazil winning easily but the Mexicans denied them an Olympics gold at the 2012 games in London. Both the sides have opened their account in the tournament with routine wins on match day one. Let's look at the players who can change the complexion of the match with a moment of brilliance.
Neymar: It is no rocket science to understand that the whole campaign of the Brazilians revolves around this 22 year-old Barcelona Striker . He bagged a brace against the Croats and will look to rattle the net again. His speed and skills are almost unplayable against at times and the Mexicans are fully aware of the fact that he can turn provider too with the memories of the 2013 Confederations Cup match still fresh in their memories. But Neymar will have to curtail those odd moments of madness like his elbowing of Luka Modric that might not go unpunished this time.
Giovani Dos Santos: He played with the likes of Ronaldinho at a very young age for Barcelona and though he has struggled to spot a permanent place with a host of teams in Europe , he remains a good player for Mexico. He was the fans man of the match in the last game and will look to make up for the two wrongly disallowed goals against the host nation.
Oscar: The baby faced assassin was on the score sheet for Brazil in the last match and put up tremendous amount of pressure on the Croat defence. He forced the opponent players to commit mistakes which were evident in the build up to the first goal against Croatia.
Luiz Gustavo: He may not be as famous as his team mates but his performances in a Brazil shirt have been note worthy. His control of the game may very well decide its outcome.
Fred: The Brazil striker is an important weapon for Brazil and was instrumental in their win in the first match winning the controversial penalty. He will be looking for his first goal of the tournament against Mexico.
Hector Herrera: He is the heart and soul of the midfield and coming from a modest background he has his feet firmly on the ground to help his side reach the knock out stage. He will play behind the strikers and look to spread the ball in midfield for Mexico.
Oribe Peralta: When it comes to playing against the Brazilians, Oribe Peralta puts in some extra shifts as is evident with his performance in the 2012 Olympics final when his strike helped Mexico claim the gold medal.
Guillermo Oschoa: After spending the 2006 and 2010 world cup on the bench, Oschoa played his first match at the finals against Cameroon. He will have to put up a brave performance to stop Neymar and co and help his side overcome Brazil.

Time to put up those feeders as hummingbirds return to the area
The ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird to breed east of the Mississippi River, although rarely, other species are seen in the Mountain State. This bird occurs throughout the state in mixed woodlands, orchards and backyard habitats with much open land and blooming flowers nearby.
"Hummingbirds feed on nectar with a long, brush-like tongue. They also consume tiny insects and spiders. Because of the hummingbirds' fondness for nectar, they can easily be attracted to your backyard by feeders or plantings of flowers," Tallman says.
Many styles of commercial hummingbird feeders are available. The feeders most attractive have some red color located on them and incorporate perches. Although you can buy nectar, a much cheaper and equally nutritious mixture can be made by mixing one part white table sugar with four parts boiling water. Make sure all of the sugar is dissolved in the boiling water; remove from heat and chill. Do not increase the amount of sugar in the mixture because higher concentrations of sugar can damage the kidneys of hummingbirds. In addition, do not use honey or artificial sweeteners. Honey provides a good medium for the growth of bacteria and fungi that may be FATAL to hummingbirds. Artificial sweeteners do not provide the necessary calories required for the hummingbird's high metabolism. Also, you do not need to add red food coloring to attract hummers.
A note of caution is needed here. To prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and fungus, clean your feeder once a week. Discard the old solution, and clean the feeder with very hot, soapy water and a bottle brush to reach the small nooks and crannies. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Hummingbirds are highly protective of their territories surrounding feeders and will actively chase away other hummers. Their aerial antics and chases are always amazing to watch.
So put up a feeder. You will be rewarded with a summer full of active, delightful hummingbirds. For more information contact the West Virginia DNR Wildlife Resources Section, P.O. Box 67, Elkins, WV 26241 or call (304)-637-0245.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Continuing as Mitt Romney's anti-Rick Santorum surrogate, Sen. John McCain said on Thursday that South Carolina's two GOP senators have joined him in fighting earmarking in Congress, an issue on which Santorum is regarded as politically vulnerable.
McCain—long the Senate's leading crusader against special-interest spending that his colleagues add to appropriations bills—said he disagrees with Santorum's position that he was justified in earmarking to help his home state of Pennsylvania when he served in Congress. He now joins congressional Republicans in disavowing the practice.
"Sen. Santorum and I have a strong disagreement, a strong disagreement that he believed that earmarks and pork-barrel projects were good for America," the Arizona senator said. "I think it's wrong for America, and so does Sen. [Jim] DeMint and so does Lindsey Graham, who have been strong fighters against earmark and pork-barrel spending, and I know you're proud of them."
Neither DeMint nor Graham has endorsed a candidate in the GOP race. In fact, DeMint said last year he will not endorse any of the candidates.
Romney, meanwhile, was met was particularly strong applause when he criticized President Obama's decision this week to give recess appointments to several nominees to serve on the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB had challenged Boeing's decision to build a plant in South Carolina, arguing the plant constituted illegal retaliation against the union's members in Washington for having engaged in a federally protected right to strike. The board dropped the case last month.
McCain did commit one minor gaffe, temporarily replacing Romney's name with Obama's. "I am confident with the leadership and backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around," he said, only to correct himself: "Excuse me, President Romney."

Lil Kim Thinks The Government Was Responsible For Biggie's Death
Yesterday marked the 14th anniversary of Christopher 'Notorious B.I.G.' Wallace's death, a murder that remains unsolved to this day. There are a number of conspiracies that surround the cause of the rapper's demise, from Death Row's Suge Knight orchestrating the hit, to corrupt police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department, to east coast/west coast gang activity; but to this day no one is one hundred percent sure why Biggie was gunned down that fateful night in Los Angeles.
Lil Kim recently called in to Lady T of Talk of the Town 411 regarding her theory about Biggie's murder. She claims that she believes it goes beyond Suge Knight and the police department; that it was something orchestrated by the government.
"I will say this though, I will say that I always felt like Biggie and Tupac's deaths were bigger than how they tried to make it out to believe it to be[…]It's bigger than Suge Knight being involved. I think it was even over his head. Them two [Biggie and Tupac Shakur] were very powerful guys. They both could have ran for mayor just like Arnold Schwarzenegger and probably won. You know, I think the government was looking at it like, 'We could not have these two hood dudes with this much power running for mayor and something like that and winning.' They would have lost control I think. I think it was way deeper than what people would like it to be."

ST. LOUIS. MO, (KTVI) – Christina Stephens is a woman on the move and losing part of her leg earlier this year to an accident didn't disable her. Instead it inspired her to make a video that's changing lives.
"I have met a lot of people along the way my Facebook page has a lot of amputees on it now. I really didn't think it had that kind of viral video potential." Said Stephens
The 31 -year -old occupational therapist posted a video on YouTube last month that shows her building a prosthetic leg out of Lego`s. So far the viral video has over 730,000 views.
People from all over the world are watching to see how Stephens made her own prosthetic leg and she did it with hundreds of Legos, all of it in just over 2 hours. She says her family has collected thousands of the plastic toys over the years.
"It`s mostly just for fashion you can't really use it I really would like to make another leg out of Lego`s that you can actually walk in so as soon as I get some Lego technic pieces I will probably do that."
Christina's husband says his wife has always had a positive outlook on life.
"Some things might seem horrific to a lot of people she will take it in stride and find something productive and positive to do with it.' He said
30 videos and millions of views later Christina Stephens is taking charge of her new body and she's hoping her message can inspire others to understand that life goes on after amputation.
"I want other people to be comfortable in their own skin and if they are amputees to be more comfortable with their limb difference. Being able to build a Lego leg on the bottom of my residual limb it makes me feel superhuman." She said

Jason Davis: Like father, like son
Just moments after I awoke this past Monday morning from a fitful night of sleep, I received an unexpected call.
Glancing at the phone's screen I noticed it was my sister, Lori.
My mind wondered, "What's happening? Why's she calling so early? Who died?"
Swiping to answer, I braced myself for the worst.
"Hello?" I said, pensively.
Her words hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Happy birthday to you..." she began singing.
Yes, March 3 was my birthday.
Normally, I wouldn't care about a birthday. It's just another day to me, and, as they say, age truly is nothing but a number.
But this year was different I found out, thanks to my big sis.
"Do you realize that you're now the age Dad was when Mom had you?" she asked.
My previously waning attention to the early-morning call snapped to hyper focus.
"What?!?" I asked.
"Yeah, Dad was 36 when you were born."
I knew this, of course, I'd simply never considered I might actually one day be the same age my father was during a point in my lifetime. It was a strange thought.
We exchanged a few more pleasantries, catching up on each other's lives from 300 miles away, before ending the call.
Still, as I readied for work I was nearly numb tumbling the question through my mind.
Am I becoming my father?
Sure I'm getting older, everyone does, but I couldn't really be turning into my Dad, who I always considered just short of ancient growing up.
But as I progressed through my morning ritual, I began to see that yes, I was becoming the elder Davis.
The first sign showed up as I had my morning shave.
A white hair was peaking out with the rest of the morning stubble. Wait, make that two, three, oh no! Four!
Things got progressively worse as I noticed in the mirror a dark stray hair growing out of my shoulder region. Where did that come from?
Panicked, I checked my ears. Thank goodness, safe there.
After I completed the morning ritual and boarded the commuter mobile to head for the office, I continued the father/son comparisons.
Progressively creaky joints? Check. Receding hairline? Duh. Increasingly cranky? Oh course. Volume of the television loud enough to wake the dead? Huh? Oh, yeah.
OK, I am becoming my father.
After the initial shock at my own mortality began to wear off, I realized that's not all bad.
My father, who's wife — my mother — died at age 38, did a Herculean job of raising a teenage daughter and 3-year-old son.
We never wanted for anything. Through his own personal sacrifices, we had all we needed and then some.
Dad made sure we were well-behaved kids that respected our teachers and stayed out of trouble at school. He was largely successful in that, if you forget that one paddling I earned in sixth grade for talking in class. Neither of us were ever suspended, arrested or otherwise detained by the authorities.
David, our father, taught us wrong from right. He taught us how to put others before ourselves.
And, most importantly, he taught us how to love.
In some cases, it was a tough love. We weren't given some of the freedoms our peers had. My sister had a curfew earlier than some of her contemporaries, and I was never allowed to grow the trendy rat-tail of the rural Appalachias in the mid-1980s. Thank goodness.
But beyond the tough love, my Dad, unlike some men, had no reservations about expressing his love for his children.
"I love you" was a common phrase in our home. And Dad backed it up every day, working long hours in a factory to keep food on the table, the mortgage and utilities paid and clothes on our backs.
Those necessities, and love — above all — are what children need most.
As a father myself, maybe my father is who I should strive to be.
Maybe becoming Dad isn't so bad after all.

Do you think this is a Forum issue? This will be moved to the Newbie section.
Hello, I am using USB Loader GX to play Fatal Frame 4 (English pre-patched) and has been working great, until..
When I got to the operation room with Choushiro, after triggering a battle with a ghost girl by picking up an item on the stretcher / operating table, the spirit camera stops working. It worked before then but for some reason when I start this semi-boss battle, it doesn't work on her - when hold z to lock on her and press or hold a to flash, it doesn't do any damage.
I'm guessing this is a flaw with the rom? I searched Google all over for the same problem, but I haven't found the same issue.
Any help please? >3<
Btw, I also couldn't capture the dolls in that area.
Do you think this is a Forum issue? This will be moved to the Newbie section.
Oh wrong topic? Sorry. Why thank you, moderator.
Not wrong topic, but rather (initially) wrong section of the site.
Problem solved.
I got the answer via comments on Youtube. In case anyone has this problem:
"Make sure to not have any lenses equipped. The first lense you get enables you to take pictures, but taking pictures doesn't hurt the ghosts with the flashlight, so you need to remove that lens" (use d-pad).
I am closing this thread now.

Buffalo Bills Add WR DeMarco Sampson
DeMarco Sampson, a 2011 7th round pick of the Cardinals, was signed by the Buffalo Bills. He joins a young and inexperienced cast of receivers to battle it out in camp to get snaps on the opposite side of the field to Steve Johnson. Sampson made headlines during his rookie year in camp but only caught 3 passes in all of 2011. He didn't make it onto the field in 2012 and is looking to catch on elsewhere. It wasn't a good sign when he was released from the Eagles about two weeks ago.

Community reps meet to discuss homelessness
EVANSVILLE - Some 50 people from a variety of agencies and organizations convened Thursday to discuss ending homelessness, the largest such meeting since a consulting firm made recommendations in May for accomplishing that lofty goal.
At the all-day retreat, representatives from homeless service providers, government agencies, not-for-profits and for-profits met to prioritize some 116 recommendations that the New York City-based Corporation for Supportive Housing made for addressing homelessness in Evansville.
"If you don't prioritize," said moderator Kathy Kleindorfer, "The problem is you never get anyplace."
"You've all had that experience: There's 113 things. You can't let go of any of them, so next year there's still 113 things."
The retreat was held at the Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center on Lynch Road.
Throughout the day, participants sat in one of six issue-based groups and discussed goals.
Issues included "raising income" and "increasing access to permanent housing."
By the day's end, attendees were expected to define primary goals for the next two years, as well as working implementation strategies.
The goal to end homelessness is nothing new — the "Destination: Home" plan to do so was conceived nearly a decade ago.
Today, it boasts five committees working on fronts including childcare for homeless families, preventing homelessness for at-risk households and helping ex-offenders find housing.
"The numbers are the numbers," Mayor Lloyd Winnecke told the group after thanking them for their work. "But we all know there are families (and) there are faces behind those numbers."
CSH was hired to update the Destination: Home plan, which launched in 2005.
Some of the firm's recommendations were already being wrought; some weren't.
The city used $35,000 in taxpayer dollars for CSH's services. The city and county sponsored $1,000 each toward the retreat.
Over the summer, members of the city-county Commission on Homelessness board scheduled the retreat because they didn't want to set the recommendations "on a bookshelf."
"I think this is an important part of the process so that we have the priorities and the road map to go forward," said Carol Braden-Clarke, Executive Director of United Way and co-chair of the Homeless Youth Coalition.
Several attendees, like the Department of Metropolitan Development's Joshua Calhoun, served on multiple committees and coalitions.
Some attendees weren't on any committees and were new to the inner workings of Destination: Home.
"I didn't know there were so many committees," said Cindy Miller, a case manager at the YWCA shelter.
Miller is not, however, new to the issue of homelessness.
The clients who stay at the YWCA shelter typically spend about 30 to 45 nights there, she said, and have trouble finding housing, employment and childcare.
"A lot of time, in that short period of time they are not successful in finding housing," said Miller. "Therefore, then, they end up at another shelter or the Goodwill Family Shelter to start that same process over again."

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross men's tennis team dropped its final home match of the season to Sacred Heart, 7-0, on Sunday afternoon at the Sinnott Family Tennis Facility. With the win, the Pioneers improve to 4-11 overall, while the Crusaders slip to 1-10.
