Cheech and Chong are pitching brownies filled with….fiber?
Talk about selling out. Cheech and Chong, the hippie, stoner comedy duo from the '70s and '80s, used to eat brownies "seasoned" with marijuana. But that was then and this is now. Now the older and grayer comics are pitching a very different chocolate snack. These brownies made by the cereal company, Fiber One. Only […] [Read More]

Signs of fall, I guar-an-dam-tee you
I spent the day looking for signs of fall. It goes without saying, my hunt was a little dispiriting, since it's in the upper 90s and bone dry. Still, here's what surprised me. The signs are there. We went to the hardware store and found not only Halloween candy and costumes, but a Santa or […] [Read More]

Have your young adults, the 20-somethings you put through high school and college, come back home because of the sagging economy? Amidst all the bad economic news, this trend is particularly disheartening. Here's what the AP has to say: Young adults are the recession's lost generation.

Jimmy Kipp Blake, 23 of rural Decatur, passed away as the result of a single car accident Saturday, Dec. 4, 2010. He was born Aug. 30, 1987 in Allen County to Cary J. and Amy E. (Geiger) Blake.
Kipp was a member of Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren in rural Decatur. He was an employee at Dolco Packaging. Kipp was a 2006 graduate of Adams Central High School and was attending IPFW in Fort Wayne.
Robert Briggs Estlick, 94, a former resident of Columbia City, died at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 in Edina, Minn.
He was born April 1, 1916 in Troy Township, a son of Neil T. and Blanche M. Estlick. His formative years were spent in Troy Township. He was educated in the Etna Troy School, graduated from Columbia City High School in 1934 and from Indiana University in 1939 with a degree in business.
Donald Laurel "Smiley" Reed, 91, of Columbia City, passed away at 12:20 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, 2010, at The Oaks, Columbia City. Born Aug. 27, 1919 in Logansport, he was a son of Homer L. and Ruth (Twells) Reed.
Alecia Louise Stine, 24, of rural Columbia City died at 12:07 a.m. Friday, Dec. 3, 2010 at her home.
She was born Aug. 25, 1986 in Fort Wayne, a daughter of Shannon and Tammy (Stine) Leazier. Her formative years were spent in Washington Township. She attended Columbia City High School and later completed her G.E.D. She then completed a Certified Nurses Assistant program.

A lifelong Mishawaka resident before moving to Columbia City, she spent the past six years with her daughter, Denise (David) Heckman.
She was a loving and dedicated mother and there are no words to describe the love she had towards her family and all she knew.
A good season doesn't go unnoticed in Whitley County.
One of the best combined seasons ever within the three area high schools hasn't gone without recognition.
A 30-6 mark from Columbia City, Churubusco and Whitko football squads made for an exciting season within the county lines.
With so much success, state caliber players are sure to be included in the dozens of victories.
COLUMBIA CITY — Saturday wasn't the ideal way Columbia City (5-2) girls' basketball wanted to start the Northeast Hoosier Conference.
Hosting Carroll (3-4), the Lady Eagles saw a close contest get away from them in the second half. With neither team seeing more than a five-point lead all game, a 4-for-19 second half shooting slump by Columbia City helped the Lady Chargers pick up a win on the road 52-46.
SOUTH WHITLEY — As any coach and its a whole other season within a season.
Conference play.
Saturday marked the start of the new season for Whitko (3-4) girls' basketball. If the Three Rivers Conference opener was any indication, the Lady Wildcats are on track for big things amongst the conference's best.

Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: The attacks are part of a well orchestrated, decades-long campaign initiated by the corporate sector, which is intent on ensuring that government policy be crafted in their own narrow self interests, which they disingenuously equate with the public good.
The Use and Abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment
John Peeler: Many conservatives are now pushing to amend the Constitution to change the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment that allocates citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. Unlike many examples of creative interpretation, this proposal would formally amend the amendment. Liberals learned in the 1970s, with the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, how hard it is to amend the Constitution; here is our chance to teach the same lesson to conservatives.

Huh? Denver officially bans extortion, bribery and brawling at foreclosure auctions
The number of foreclosed properties getting sold at auction has dropped significantly in Colorado. In Denver, just 186 were snagged at the auction block last month, a 25 percent drop from the 249 that were sold in January 2010.
Could increased competition be an explanation for why the Denver Public Trustee's office feels the need to impose new rules on the weekly foreclosure sales?
A document titled "Foreclosure Sale Code of Conduct" that was recently posted inside the Wellington E. Webb Building lists the types of behavior that will henceforth be banned from the city's property auctions. The banned behaviors include talking on cell phones, texting, and using laptops or smart devices.
Also, bidders are no longer permitted to talk with other auction participants or to leave their seats and approach sellers -- lest they be "ejected from the auction." And, according to #7, bribery isn't allowed. All fair enough.
But what's up with #5 and #9?
Bidders or observers are prohibited from using intimidation, threats, coercion or extortion to sway bidding or investment outcomes in their favor.
Verbal or physical altercations will result in ejections from the auction and possible contact with the Denver Police.
Extortion? Physical violence? Denver employees were on furlough Friday and are on vacation today, so I was unable to ask Chief Deputy Public Trustee Sindee Wagner if the new code of conduct is in response to recent turmoil at the auctions or if she just felt the need to be very, very specific.
Either way, sounds like Denver employees need their vacation day.

Update from OSCON 2010
What's on the show floor and what's new in the world of open source.
After the tutorial sessions that ran through Monday and Tuesday and the Ignite talks and O'Reilly awards kicked things off last night, we've settled in nicely to our booth on the show floor and have been making the rounds, enjoying the talks and meeting the other expo attendees. And while the day's not half-over quite yet, here's what we have so far in convenient bullet form.
On the mobile front:
- Symbian will continue to develop its open architecture, despite the recent news that Nokia would be dropping the OS from future smartphones in favor of MeeGo. The Foundation has enlisted the help of Nitobi and its PhoneGap software to develop smartphone applications.
- MeeGo discussed its AppUp store, a cloud-based app store that is currently in beta. The store will feature apps for the various deployments of MeeGo, including mobile phone, tablet, and hinted at future iterations of the OS running on televisions and mediaphones.
As for keynotes:
- Tim O'Reilly started off hailing the open source community for its collaboration and its uncanny ability to solve problems through involving and engaging members from every corner of the earth and every place on the spectrum.
- Jennifer Pahlka gave an impassioned call to arms for Code for America, asking that developers lend their time and skills to help bridge the rapidly growing technology gap that is overtaking municipal jobs.
- Dirk Hohndel gave a breakdown of MeeGo and its role in upstream development.
- Stormy Peters from GNOME asked the question "Is Your Data Free" and then quickly likened data ownership and autonomy to picking up dog poop. That was one of the more impressive linkages of the conference so far.
- Bryan Sivak, from the government of the District of Columbia, gave a candid talk about open source and its role in government. At one point, Sivak made the statement that organizations and open source vendors needed to get real on pricing and that maintenance and support were major factors in determining how much an open source solution would cost.
- Marten Mickos, CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, discussed the cloud and making it open, free, and profitable. Mickos's solution: Give it to people who have plenty of time and not much money, sell it to people with lots of money and no time.
And that's it for now. We're still roaming the show floor and you can expect video and transcribed interviews to come. Follow us at linux_pro on twitter and check back here for updates.

Oxford Science Cafe': Cellular Differentiation!
Date: 1/22/2013
Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM (CST)
Location: (2305 West Jackson Avenue, Suite 211, Oxford MS, 38655)
|Invitation: Science is fun at the Oxford Science Cafe'! Join us for an exciting presentation by Dr. Patrick Curtis (UM Department of Biology)
Open to the Public
Full details:
Join science enthusiasts at Lusa Pastry Café for our next Oxford Science Café. Dr. Patrick Curtis, Assistant Professor of Biology (Microbial Biology) at the University of Mississippi, will present "The time and space of cellular differentiation."
All life is built around the process of replication, turning one thing into two things. At the level of cells, it's relatively easy to turn one cell into two identical cells. However, many living things are composed of differentiated cells (cells that have changed from one cell type to another). The process of cellular differentiation is very complex and involves precise timing of gene expression and placement of molecules at specific locations within cells. How all of the tiny tasks are accomplished and seeing how all of them fit together is difficult. I explore cellular differentiation by studying bacteria. Most bacteria grow by turning one cell into two identical cells, and we know a lot about how that works. I study bacteria that grow by turning one cell into two different cells. By figuring out how the bacterium has taken a system for making two identical cells and changed it into a system for making two different cells, we can learn the fundamental principles of cellular differentiation.
When: Tuesday, January 22, 2013, 6pm - 7pm.
Where: Lusa Pastry Cafe', 1120 North Lamar Blvd, Oxford MS, 38655
Cost: Free!
Oxford Science Café: Monthly conversations about the science we know and the science we don't know. Everyone is invited, and children are welcome! Like us on Facebook.

Policies/Foreign Policy and Treaty Making
Official Party Document
The veracity of this document is ensured by the National Council and editing of this page is limited to members of the National Council.
Civil and digital liberties, transparency, and human rights are universal principles and should be embodied in foreign as well as domestic policy. Indeed, foreign and domestic spheres are often difficult to separate, with international treaties having potential to drive domestic lawmaking.
Like all legal mechanisms, treaties derive legitimacy through consent and consultation. For this reason, treaties such as ACTA (which affect surveillance, [1] generic medicine,[2] and digital rights), have drawn concern due to the intense secrecy surrounding their formulation and negotiation. While the secrecy itself was nullified by regular leaks, the process was still seen to exclude many potentially affected parties. Far more legitimacy and balance will attach to treaty outputs when openness and participation are enshrined in the negotiation process, and potential threats to sovereignty are removed.
Recent revelations of massive and warrantless monitoring by the US National Security Agency also demand an alternative, and stronger response from the Australian government. Australians are being subjected to offshore monitoring on a massive scale with no checks and balances and no access to appeals or accountability. The notion that allies can be treated as suspects with no rights is harmful both to domestic sovereignty and broader international relations. One method of safeguarding the liberties of internet users will be to ensure that foreign whistle blowers offering information relevant to the public good are granted protection under Australian whistle blower laws. We also believe negotiations should commence on a new treaty to enshrine the principles of the internet and protect the rights of its users.
Australia should also continue to support human rights overseas, with the first step being to meet agreed aid targets. Plans to redirect foreign aid to handle domestic boat arrivals set a bad precedent and should be reversed. Properly targeted aid may well do more to reduce such arrivals in the long-run by curbing poverty and environmental damage overseas.
Foreign humanitarian aid should be provided for genuine humanitarian reasons, and in a manner that supports the improvement of local conditions. It is sometimes the case that aid is provided to foreign nations in situations where the real benefit is to the business and producers in the donor countries and the aid actually has negative effects upon the recipient countries.[3][4][5] For example the increase in US rice delivered to Haiti as food aid in the wake of the disastrous earthquake of 2010 has out further pressure on local producers already struggling after years of their market being flooded by cheap, heavily subsidized US rice and very low tariffs imposed by the IMF. [6][7]
Policy text
Support principles of transparency and openness in treaties and trade agreements
- Ensure treaty negotiations are subject to oversight and public participation.
- Require a window for public participation and the availability of draft texts prior to signing.
- Conduct a constitutional referendum to require parliamentary oversight and consent in treaty making and other international instruments.
- Renegotiate or withdraw from treaties which restrict policy making in areas of intellectual property reform and public health.
- Treaties to be reviewed will include, but are not limited to:
- Berne Convention
- WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT)
- Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
- Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)
- Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA)
- Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
- Convention on Psychotropic Substances
- Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances
- Treaties to be reviewed will include, but are not limited to:
- Ensure Australia complies fully with all treaty clauses which protect individual rights.
- Remove exceptions granted to Australia which potentially reduce the capacity of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to protect Australian citizens.[8]
- No inclusion of investor-state dispute settlement provisions in trade agreements.
- Foreign businesses investing in Australia to retain equivalent legal protections to domestic businesses.
- Begin negotiations on an international treaty for a free and open internet.
- Treaty should enshrine net neutrality, freedom from state control, and protection for private communication, free expression, and unrestricted access to information.
Expand use of diplomacy and aid in support of global human rights
- Increase foreign aid to 0.5 per cent of GDP by 2014-15 to meet the agreed deadline for Millennium Development Goals.[9][10]
- Priorities for additional aid to include programs to support empowerment of women, environmental protection, regional capacity building (including renewable energy), emergency response, and provision of generic medicines (see patents policy).
- Aid should be provided with consideration towards any deleterious effects upon the local economies of recipient countries, ensuring that local producers are not disadvantaged by the dumping of aid products, and with local suppliers of goods and services used where practical.
- Support political asylum or subsidiary protection status for overseas whistleblowers per provisions of Article 14 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. [11]
- Suspend extradition processes and law enforcement cooperation in cases where:
- Only political offences have been committed.
- The act being investigated is not an offence in Australia.
- A death penalty could potentially apply.
- The nation involved has not ratified the United Nations Convention against Torture.
- Utilise diplomatic and political channels to seek urgent clarification from nations that Australia has intelligence sharing arrangements with regarding the scope of monitoring of Australian citizens by intelligence agencies.

- High prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies in two metropolitan emergency departments in Germany : a prospective screening analysis of 28,809 patients (2012)
- Background and Aims: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies in Germany has been estimated to be in the range of 0.4–0.63%. Screening for HCV is recommended in patients with elevated ALT levels or significant risk factors for HCV transmission only. However, 15–30% of patients report no risk factors and ALT levels can be normal in up to 20–30% of patients with chronic HCV infection. The aim of this study was to assess the HCV seroprevalence in patients visiting two tertiary care emergency departments in Berlin and Frankfurt, respectively. Methods: Between May 2008 and March 2010, a total of 28,809 consecutive patients were screened for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies. Anti-HCV positive sera were subsequently tested for HCV-RNA. Results: The overall HCV seroprevalence was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.4–2.8; 2.4% in Berlin and 3.5% in Frankfurt). HCV-RNA was detectable in 68% of anti-HCV positive cases. Thus, the prevalence of chronic HCV infection in the overall study population was 1.6% (95% CI 1.5–1.8). The most commonly reported risk factor was former/current injection drug use (IDU; 31.2%) and those with IDU as the main risk factor were significantly younger than patients without IDU (p<0.001) and the male-to-female ratio was 72% (121 vs. 46 patients; p<0.001). Finally, 18.8% of contacted HCV-RNA positive patients had not been diagnosed previously. Conclusions: The HCV seroprevalence was more than four times higher compared to current estimates and almost one fifth of contacted HCV-RNA positive patients had not been diagnosed previously.

- Background: To perform a comprehensive study on the relationship between vitamin D metabolism and the response to interferon-α-based therapy of chronic hepatitis C. Methodology/Principal Findings: Associations between a functionally relevant polymorphism in the gene encoding the vitamin D 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1-1260 rs10877012) and the response to treatment with pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and ribavirin were determined in 701 patients with chronic hepatitis C. In addition, associations between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) and treatment outcome were analysed. CYP27B1-1260 rs10877012 was found to be an independent predictor of sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with poor-response IL28B genotypes (15% difference in SVR for rs10877012 genotype AA vs. CC, p = 0.02, OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.061–2.188), but not in patients with favourable IL28B genotype. Patients with chronic hepatitis C showed a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (25[OH]D3<20 ng/mL) during all seasons, but 25(OH)D3 serum levels were not associated with treatment outcome. Conclusions/Significance: Our study suggests a role of bioactive vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D3, calcitriol) in the response to treatment of chronic hepatitis C. However, serum concentration of the calcitriol precursor 25(OH)D3 is not a suitable predictor of treatment outcome.

Within walking distance of shops and restaurants
The Eastwest Hotel is located on the Right Bank, just a short walk from Lake Geneva and the famous Jet d'Eau, the tallest fountain in the world. The hotel is also within walking distance of the major train station, as well as numerous stores and restaurants. The heart of the Old Town can be reached by foot also, but there's public transportation nearby for those who prefer that option.
The Quai du Mont-Blanc is an elegant avenue located along the lake shore. There's a wide array of cafes and stores here, and the tree-lined eastern sidewalk of the street is perfect for enjoying the views of Lake Geneva and the mountains while strolling around.
Geneva is a picturesque city, divided into two banks by Lake Geneva, and surrounded by mountains. During the winters, visitors and locals head to the mountains to ski; ski resorts such as Verbier and Crans-Montana are conveniently only about an hour from the heart of the city. And in the summertime, the lake -- and nearby beaches -- become popular spots for swimming. But all year long, tourists can enjoy the city's cafe culture (reminiscent of Paris), beautiful gardens, specialty shops (the city is known for its gorgeous jewelry and watches), fabulous restaurants, and many sights.
This upscale, 41-room boutique hotel has a design that mixes eastern and western styles (hence the name). The Asian influences are evident in the antique-filled lobby, accented by hot pink sofas; the bamboo-surrounded outdoor seating at the restaurant; and the chic library. Sexy rooms have wooden floors, beds with bright throws and Frette sheets, and fresh orchids, as well as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Additional features include free public transit cards and a small gym with a sauna. Extensive kid-friendly amenities are on offer (such as night lights and high chairs), and the fabulous location is within walking distance of numerous sights, shops, and restaurants.

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire has announced that Ewan Seabrook has been elevated to associate head coach for men's soccer. The promotion from assistant coach is in recognition of his outstanding work as a member of the men's soccer staff.
"Ewan has taken on more responsibility each year he has been here at UNH," said head coach Rob Thompson. "He is thoroughly deserving of this promotion."
Seabrook recently completed his third season as the top assistant coach with the Wildcat men's soccer program. During his tenure with the 'Cats he has helped lead the squad to three straight America East Tournament berths, while posting a 25-19-12 record.
"Our success has a lot to do with Seabrook's responsibility," said Thompson. "His recruiting classes are beginning to come to fruition the past two years."
New Hampshire wrapped up its 2010 campaign with a 9-5-6 record, recording its second straight nine-win campaign, competing in the America East Tournament for the sixth time in the last eight years. Despite falling 5-4 on penalty kicks to UMBC (Nov. 13) in the America East Championship game, the Wildcats held the Retrievers scoreless through regulation and both overtime periods, marking the third consecutive team they shut out in the conference tournament, as they also blanked Binghamton (Nov. 6) and Boston University (Nov. 10). The impressive mark makes UNH the first team ever to record three shutouts in the conference tournament.
The Wildcats won the America East regular season title in 2009, posting a 9-7-2 record and a 6-0-1 mark in league play. Clinching the No. 1 seed in the America East Tournament, the 'Cats earned their first regular-season title since 1994 and their first outright title ever. It was the first time since 1997 that a team completed the conference schedule without a loss and is UNH's best conference record since also compiling a 6-0-1 mark in 1994.
UNH took home America East Coaching Staff of the Year honors that season, as seven Wildcats received postseason accolades, including Defender of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year. Three 'Cats were named to the All-Conference First Team and the All-Rookie Team, while one was selected to the All-Conference Second Team.
Seabrook, a 2002 Oneonta State graduate, served as the assistant coach at Hartwick College from 2004-08 prior to his tenure at UNH.

Get a sport kilt!
Sigh, my paleolithic man (well, more neolithic right now) would look SO awesome in a kilt and has the ancestry to wear it. But, since we ride our Harleys 99% of the time it's a no go. He has words for stupid people who ride bikes barefoot and in shorts (Roadrash is one of them!). Our son wants a kilt so bad it is killing him. I said I would make him one, but he can't wear it on the bike or to school. His social problems (artistic, gifted, wacko warrior dreamer kid with long hair and grey haired biker hippie parents) are too extreme now. I am proud that he has the cojones to be himself, but...
On the bra issue, in the 70s i never wore a bra despite being pretty developed and doing a lot of exercise. So, they SAG. As a 32 DD I could get away with it. When I gained weight I couldn't. I go braless around the house because they need AIR and at DD size most bras stink. I have found some less structured bras that support without giving you that attractive "UNIBOOB" or innertube look that comes from big boobs and a typical sports bra. I haven't been primal for long, but I am noticing that even in my 50s that they are firming up again. A function of hormones, decent nutrition, and weight loss? Neolithic man insists he likes them best bare, saggy or not, though I think I could sling one over my shoulder African Nat. Geographic picture style and probably tuck a kid under the other one. LOL. Mean old bikers like chicks with hairy underarms too, whatever that's worth.

Although, I believe that bras (especially underwire ones) block the flow of fluid through the lymph nodes.

Girls have it so easy. They can sit however they want and never get their stuff twisted up. Whine all you want about your shoulder pain and mudflaps, nuts are far more disadvantageous. When planning to move, sit, or climb anything, the first thought is always "will this hurt my nuts?". We live every moment of every day in fear of this pain. Or at least, it's always a threat to be aware of. Throw a hammer at a guy and he's bound to try to block the hammer with one arm, and the other arm will go over THAT area, almost every time.

"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."

Well, in my opinion, it's terribly efficient and most likely tenfold more effective than blind advertising. Think about it, if the internet didn't know your interests, your location and what you buy, you would be getting extremely random ads, most of them not pertaining to you. Say you're a college student and you might be getting ads for i don't know, male enhancement, house improvement products etc. Stuff that you would never think about buying at that time in your life.
On the business side, all those advertising dollars are thoroughly wasted on that individual and the advertisers get no return on that wasted money. That's just bad business. Also, that individual will probably be not only extremely annoyed by seeing ads that he can't relate to, but confused as well. Wouldn't you rather be seeing something that at least in some respect relates to you?
On the flip side, adaptable advertising is extremely efficient because you are reaching a market that, based on their actions (an extremely reliable source for finding out what interests them), will have the highest chance of responding to an online advertisement because you're "catering" to their interests. It's sort of like a system of recommendations, not unlike the recommendations youtube gives you based on past videos you've watched. It's kind of like saying, "oh, so you've bought that? Then you might like this!!"
The fact that the internet somehow is able to dissect all this information on everyone in an instant and "recommend" relatable products in the form of advertisements, i'd say is pretty cool.

In this sumptuous guide to twelve centuries of military development, Peter Connolly combines a detailed account of the arms and armies of Greece and Rome with his superb full-colour artwork. Making use of fresh archaeological evidence and new material on the manufacture and use of the weapons of the period, the author presents an attractive and impressive volume that is both scholarly and beautifully presented with illustrations that are, quite rightly, recognised as being the best and most accurate representation of how the soldiers from these formidable military empires appeared.
Greece and Rome at War lucidly demonstrates the face of battle in the ancient world. Covering the wars between the Greeks and the Persians and the epic contest between the Romans and their most capable opponent, Hannibal, as well as organisation, tactics, armour and weapons, and much more, this excellent work brings the armies of Greece, Macedon and Rome vividly to life. This new revised edition contains a Preface by Adrian Goldsworthy.
Do you need an excellent guide to ancient warriors for toy soldier and model figure projects? Then look no further. The author combines detailed study of ancient arms and armies with his stunning artwork. This scholarly and visually stunning book is highly recommended.Toy Soldier & Model Figure
Lavishly illustrated with his (the author) dazzling trademark colour illustrations of artefacts and reconstruction scenes, accompanied by a clear and authoritative text. This volume remains the best introduction to armies, soldiers, weapons, battles and war among the classical Greeks and Romans and their enemies.British Archaeology
This book has become something of a classic. Connolly possesed a unique combination of skills. He was an able author and talented illustrator with a lifelong passion for the archaeology and history of the Greco-Roman world, in aspects of which – weaponry and battlefields – he became a noted authority. This, his largest book, was like his many others lavishly illustrated with his dazzling trademark colour illustrations of artefacts and reconstruction scenes, accompanied by a clear and authoritative text. This volume remains the best introduction to armies, soldiers, weapons, battles and war among the classical Greeks and Romans, and their enemies.British Archaeology
This book covers a vast period of time. Connelly uses a very wide range of sources. Connelly has produced detailed analysis of the campaigns, the sources and the battlefields, based on his extensive visits to the battlefields, reconstructions of the ancient terrain and a detailed knowledge of the ancient sources. This is a splendid study of the ancient Greek and Roman war machines, looking at how they were organised, how they fought and how they were armed and equipped in a readable but still detailed manner. Connelly's work is a classic if military history and should be in the library of anyone interested in ancient warfare.Historyofwar.org

This is the third in the Roman Conquests series (following Italy and Spain) and one of those with the most obvious appeal. While Rome was struggling for her very survival against the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedon attempted to take advantage of their apparent vulnerability by allying with Hannibal and declaring war. For the time being the Romans negated this threat by shrewd use of allies to keep Philip occupied in Greece and Illyria. Once Carthage was defeated, however, the Romans were free to turn their full attention to settling the score. The stage was set for the…By Philip Matyszak

Gas Prices Stabilize
By KRWG News
New Mexico – Triple-A New Mexico says gasoline prices in the state have finally stabilized after nearly a month of continuous increases.
The travel association says the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular costs $2.68 in New Mexico, the same as the national average. However, that's still 13 cents more than New Mexicans were paying for gas at this time last year.
A gallon of gas is selling in Albuquerque for $2.62, while Santa Fe's $2.67 a gallon is the most expensive in the state.
Triple-A New Mexico says the price has stabilized because oil prices are now less volatile and petroleum consumption is down.

BMW engines enter a new era
The BMW Group enters new dimensions.
"We will keep our foot on the accelerator pedal, we will continue to forge ahead." With these words Dr. Helmut Panke, chief executive of the BMW AG, proclaimed at this year's Annual Accounts Press Conference in which direction the Bavarian premium manufacturer is moving - "straight ahead", as usual. New series, new models and the opening up of new markets - BMW has impressively underlined over recent years that when it comes to the brand with the white and blue badge, actions speak louder than words. In 2003, BMW achieved the highest sales figures ever, the number of vehicles sold reaching 928,151.
The inline six-cylinder engine.
When speaking of acceleration, Dr. Panke is not referring to just a short spurt, but "the lasting accomplishment of a higher speed". In aspiring to do this, a premium manufacturer requires the appropriate premium engines. Superior technology has rendered BMW the leading producer of power units.
BMW regularly receives the annual "International Engine of the World Award", BMW has initiated advancements in engine construction with the introduction of innovations such as VANOS and VALVETRONIC, successfully establishing them on the market.
For 71 years now the inline six engine has served as a basis of driving pleasure. And there is no reason to break with this tradition, a tradition that is probably unique in the field of engine construction. This is due above all to the fact that it is based on a proven physical principle (no free inertia forces and moments). Today more than half of all BMW automobiles are powered by either an inline six petrol engine or a diesel engine. Consequently, BMW is the world's largest manufacturer of inline six power units for automobiles.
Optimum balance of masses, silky-smooth turbine-like running characteristics, fast-revving - ideal genes, pioneering innovations, high performance, low fuel consumption and the engineers' constant meticulous attention to detail have optimized the BMW inline six engine and rendered it an icon. The principle of consistent innovation to raise its own standards has placed BMW in a pole position in technology, not only in the field of engine construction, but also as a carmaker as a whole.
The concept of efficient dynamics.
The BMW designers' main conflict of objectives arises from the customer's desire for more power, comfort and safety on the one hand and from the equally understandable desire for lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emission on the other: BMW subsumes this issue under the term efficient dynamics, and understands this as being considerably more than the mere improvement of a few test values. Consequently, BMW interprets the term dynamics as the general behaviour of the vehicle, as its performance offered to the customer as a part of the driving experience. Efficiency is equally as comprehensive, this being the overall ratio between input and output, including, for example, "on demand" and "just in time" production, as well as the sensible use of resources. It is particularly crucial to BMW that efficiency should not belittle dynamics - and vice versa.
Technology leader BMW forges ahead: engine construction reconceived.
Due to its specific location in the vehicle and its concentrated mass, BMW designers focus predominantly on the power unit when it comes to discussing efficient dynamics, weight and the distribution of weight in the vehicle within the framework of the concept. And this is precisely the point at which emotions are sparked among engineers, as the BMW power unit is not only a splendid example of technology, but also a matter of inner attitude. Hence the new challenges were taken up passionately. This resulted in the creation of typical BMW high-tech power units that fundamentally question previously known concepts and countless details - and respond with innovative, trendsetting solutions.
In the 75th year of the BMW automobile and 71 years after the first BMW inline six engine, BMW is taking a giant and fundamental step into the future of engine construction. BMW has radically reconceived both the internal combustion engine and the diesel engine, taking the BMW inline six power unit into a new era.

I was thinking what if Disney just got rid of that area and made a dark ride out of it? I'm sure fans of the show would hate to see it go though.
An Aladdin dark ride would be amazing addition or maybe a Beauty and the Beast dark ride, but I would prefer Aladdin as it could be extremely fun and there's a lot to work with. I also love the Nightmare Before Christmas ride concept but since we have HMH, its pretty much not going to happen.
Just an idea, I don't know if theres any huge fans of the show so it might not thrill some, but I'd love an additional dark ride in Fantasyland! But Aladdin could also be a thrill ride mixed in a dark ride?

The fantastic news that Beyond Good and Evil will be released in HD (in 2011) hit the internets today. Kirk Hamilton of Gamer Melodico got a bit of a hands-on at the Ubisoft's Digital Day press event. Being the excitable woman I am, I tweeted about my excitement, and my intention to buy.
My guess is that Ubi is trying to get the IP out there, and in the public's mind, before they proceed to throw more resources at Beyond Good & Evil 2 (if you have followed the news on this title, there have been many rumors that it has been cancelled, but Ubi states that it is currently in development by a small team).
The original game had an ill-timed release and was a commercial failure, however it was adored by critics, and this is it's second chance people!
Up until last year, Beyond Good & Evil was one of those games that I had always meant to play. It has an awesome leading lady who always makes the "Top Ten Awesome Videogame Women" lists, who is a POC, who has a story that isn't all about a dude, I had just never taken the time. Eventually, through IRIS it was decided a bunch of us would play — and I could not believe I had spent so much of my life not having played that game. It is really wonderful, and, to be mushy, it is special.
Ubi must be tired of having people ask them about Beyond Good & Evil, and having people tell them that a sequel will make money. Let's show them that they have a hit on their hands!

The whole world is watching
August 19, 2014 - Harry Eagar
The whole world is watching
Americans were shocked this month to see pictures of police — looking like, in the deft phrase of Doktor Zoom, Keystone Stormtroopers — threatening citizens with machine guns and tanks. Our grandparents or great-grandparents would not have been shocked.
It was only the New Deal that, among many other civilizing gifts to the public, changed the role of police and militia from agents of labor control into, more or less, guardians of property and ordinary order. As late as 1932, it was nothing unusual to see a governor — a Democrat no less — turn a machine gun on farmers protesting low prices. This happened just a few miles from Ferguson, Missouri, in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
The idea that the cop is Officer Friendly would have seemed outlandish to our forebears. Police were agents of repression in service of the rich, and everybody understood that.
This was true of both formal and informal police. It was most obvious with the "paterollers" of the upper South, white men conscripted to serve a few nights each month as cavalry to terrorize blacks and catch runaway slaves.
But it was also the case with formal police forces, once these began to be enrolled. Every boss knew that if he could not keep his workers in line with low wages, payment in scrip, company stores, eviction, blacklists and strong-arm men, he could call the mayor or governor to have the police or the militia shoot them, or their families.
Police were kept on a payroll in order to have them available to brutalize workers. The rest of the time they filled their days serving eviction notices for landlords and collecting bribes from whorehouses.
There is no instance known to me when police or militia refused to act as the bosses' enforcers. Legislators chipped in by passing laws that excluded workers from civil rights protections.
It was usual to ride down workers and their wives and children with cavalry, and not unusual to place cannon in the streets to intimidate them.
In the South, the sheriff was also expected to organize and lead lynch mobs.
If the local arms of law and disorder were inadequate, in exceptional circumstances the regular army was available. In fact, President Washington used regulars against protesters because that was the only force he had available. Later, the militia was usually sufficient.
Despite what it says in the 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights, the United States has never had — nor even attempted to create — a well-regulated militia. When used in war, the militia has performed poorly, usually running away (as recently as 1942); and in peace it has done nothing much beyond murdering women and children. Chivington's Colorado "Volunteers" were a particularly noisome example.
Since the New Deal, however, bosses have not been able to call the governor and have him send out troops to shoot workers. The governor who changed this was Frank Murphy of Michigan, who called out his National Guard to protect workers who were under attack from police and mobs of company goons. It was the first time in American history that the militia were used to protect ordinary citizens instead of bosses. It was a startling change for the Michigan National Guard, which President Wilson had sent to Murmansk in 1919 to shoot Russian workers. The Russian workers fought back and over 500 Michigander militia were killed, most left behind in unmarked graves.
Murphy was punished by losing the next election, but his precedent has generally held. Nowadays, regular troops are even called out to uphold the rule of law, as President Eisenhower did at Little Rock; or sometimes when real disorders occur.
There is backsliding. Murphy's adherence to lawful principles was shocking and unwelcome to the oppressing classes, who screamed, through their corrupt newspapers, for him to have the workers shot. At times, as at Kent State and Ferguson, large police or militia forces are deployed in order to create riots — as admitted, memorably, by Mayor Richard Daley who said his Chicago cops were there to create disorder. And the frightened right-wingers still want to go back to the good old days when Douglas MacArthur used panzers against unemployed veterans. Gov. Rick Perry has game wardens armed with machine guns in Texas.
But for the most part, the trajectory of policing over the past 70 years had been toward professionalism, training and enforcement of actual laws. The memorandum did not reach all districts, and racism is still in control in too many places, from the biggest to the smallest.
Still, the pictures of a masked cop training his rifle on women in the streets last week was shocking, because we do not know our own history. We have come that far. Or maybe we only thought we had.

Back in the 50's to 80's was a "kill Ha'ole" day. Many Caucasian students would not go to school. Why pick on Caucasians? Why do many countries not like Americans? I have no problem.
Recent Editorial showed a writer talking about the meaning of Aloha. Like the time for those who wear watches are different. Same with the meaning of socialist or of Aloha.
My definition is A-Akua or the belief in God.
L-Lokahi or the belief in everyone is family.
H-Ha or the sharing of breath and life. Treat others as you would treat family and do what is right by ethics of knowing Good and Bad. Share what life gives.
Hawaii is no different from the Mainland. There is racism here when dealing with different cultures. Being different many bully because of size of brain or size of built. How I define apartheid is in many ways different.

Masked terrorist, yet they show their eyes. Instead of finger printing, maybe eye scans should also be taken. Many areas should requires retinal eye scans to enter a room. Maybe that will help with Airport Security to quicken the boarding process.

One word for Caucasians but many words for Africans in South Africa.
Tea party is as old as President Obama has been in office. No one believes a 6 year old.
Maybe with all "Race" crimes, a pass to be in certain areas may be a wise choice to secure cities or states. Martial Law should have been brought to Ferguson.

Apartheid included, among many other things, a pass system preventing blacks from traveling. That is far different from what goes on in the United States.
It also included a government bureaucracy to establish each person's race.
The US had a pass system in the 'black codes' before the Civil War; and Louisiana had a race-determination office up into the '50s or '60s; but we don't have those things any more.
It is important to be precise in using words like apartheid, fascist, communist, socialist, capitalist etc. For example, I have yet to meet any Tea Partier who knows what socialism is, although they rant about it all the time.

Ferguson Police Officer shoots 6 rounds into Michael Brown. Seems to kill and not maim.
Proper action was to bring Martial Law to Ferguson. Let the Military, Police action and not Police do Military action. Unless Police are ex-military, they are in need of being examinded for PTSD. Depression caused by those who oppress.

I prefer keeping words like apartheid for use in describing real apartheid. That isn't what's at issue here.
Call it segregation, Jim Crow or whatever, but it isn't anything like apartheid.
Same goes for the use of the word as it relates to Palestinians.

In a quiet pond so tranquil fair
Mirrors looking back to me
Daring me to dream of where
Should I close my eyes to see
Beyond this place where I live
Illusions raptures in fantasy
Submitting my very soul to give
So gently there to carry thee
And borne upon the scented air
A Papillion to take me there

Read Poems by
Stephanie Whitley
You just smiled
As I continued to walk by.
You caught the reflection of the ring
And the sparkle in my eye.
A tarnished ring on a tarnished chain,
Just like "My First Love"
But now that love is over.
Everything's said and done.
You realized what you had
As she walks up from behind.
It registers on my face but not hers
When the sadness came to your eyes.
I could see it and I wanted to stop,
But at the same time I knew we were through.
She just continued with her story,
Not noticing something's wrong with you.
You tried to keep smiling
As I made myself walk by.
You saw the ring around my neck
And we both tried not to cry.
Time moved on and so did we.
We should just walk away,
And when we think about our memories,
We'll both add in this day.

TV out not working (gentoo, 2.6.0, 5328)
1 Attachment(s)
Hi there,
Ive spent some time trying to get my "TV machine" to TV out to my SABA TV screen. I am using a Elsa Erazor X2 (GeForce1, 32MB VRam) and the latest nvidia drivers (5328 or something). Its a gentoo machine so everything is up2date (XFree and so on)
X starts without an error, but the screen stays black. I tried rebooting with only the TV plugged in (unplugged the CRT) but the screen stays BLACK all the time. Im from germany so PAL-G seemed suitable...
I tried to configure twinview, but the screen stays black with that config also. I never tried the TV out of the card on windows, so I cannot say whether the card is working, but I think so. I used a ATI card with windows 2000 before, and TV out worked, so its not a wiring (PC->SCART->TV) problem (duh!).
There are no errors what-so-ever in the log files (-- -logverbose 10 -verbose 10). I tried leaving the "TVStandard" option out, which should make your driver auto-detect it, but the screen just stays black :-(
Any help highly appreciated!
This might not have become clear in the original version of the post: I NEVER get ANY output to the TV. Not during bios boot time, not during kernel boot time, not after X was started (and it starts successfully, just no picture!)
XFree86-4 Config:
Section "Module"
PCI devices found:
Have you tried an older driver like 3123?
I had alot of issues with tv out using a gf2 and newer drivers.
I could ony get it to work stabaly using 3123.
The 4496 drivers should work, unfortunately both the NVIDIA 5328 drivers as well as the Gentoo ebuild for installing the GLX module are borked.
Hm, thats weird. I emerged the stable nvidia drivers in portage (not 5xxx, still 4xxx) and it didn't work with those either.
I'll try around with misc driver versions if there is nothing wrong with my config. Is there?
I've tried nearly every driver version available (in portage) and it was the same problem all the time - black screen.
Does anyone else have an idea?
I was able to get TV out working just fine with Gentoo, 2.4.x under 4496 and 5328. I always fall for the COMPOSITE vs SVIDEO trick... that is I have SVIDEO selected when I'm using the RCA (COMPOSITE) output to connect to the TV.
For the record, here's my setup:
Dell Latitude C840
Gentoo Linux
2.4.22 (It worked for all versions of 2.4.x I ever used)
XFree 86 4.3.x (all versions of 4.x I ever used worked fine)
Gentoo ebuilds for 4496 and 5238
Obviously, you'll need to adjust the "TVStandard" based on where you live. Also, I make no guarantees that this will work for SVIDEO as I have never connected to a TV with anything other than a COMPOSITE input jack.
Here's the driver section of my XF86Config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 4"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4"
Option "CursorShadow" "on"
Option "NvAgp" "0"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
#Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30 - 50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768"
With this set up, I get the display on the TV as well as on my laptop screen.

It * could * be that your TV-chip is not supported by the Nvidia drivers. Myself I have a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra ViVo, manufactured by Point of View. The TV-chip on this one is the Philips SAA7114E. It works great in Windows XP with the 53.03 drivers, but not so in Linux. After playing around with several driver and kernel versions I came to the following discovery:
* in my case TV-out gives the same results (bad results, that is) whether working with kernels 2.4.x or 2.6.x.
* AGP is not the issue here: enables/disabling Fast Writes or SBA does not make a difference, neither does using the Nvidia AGP driver or AGPGART from the kernel source
* funnily, I do get TV-out with the 4620 (beta) drivers, but NOT with 4496 or 5328 drivers! The picture with the 4620 drivers is of * very * poor quality, however. In my /var/log/XFree86.0.log it says
(--) NVIDIA(0): Detected TV Encoder: Unknown NVIDIA
with the 5328 drivers, while with the 4620 drivers it says
(--) NVIDIA(0): Detected TV Encoder: NVIDIA
I haven't tried the latest (5336) drivers yet... maybe they'll fix things but I'm not counting on it because my particular TV-chip doesn't seem to be very common.
By the way, I used to have an ASUS V7100 Geforce2 with BT869 chip on-board and it worked perfectly, so my problem is not related to anything other (cables, configuration settings) than what I've already mentioned.
You can check http://tvtool.info/cardbase.htm to see if maybe your card is listed here and find out which TV-chip you've got on your card. An alternative would be to take the card out and take a peek yourself :-)
I've attached my complete xf86 log file, in case anyone thinks he or she can find anything useful in there.
Just for the record, TV-out on my card doesn't work (yet :-) with 5336 drivers...

Lights, camera, action.
For three local high school students those three clichEd words became a reality as they participated in a unique experience to teach them the real-life consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol.
The experience involved the filming, acting and supervising of a television spot and feature of a realistic scene that could occur in the event of a drunk-driving accident. The segments, filmed in October, will be aired this spring, in time for proms and graduations.
It's an anti-drunk driving spot, for students by students, said Lewis Noble, 17, of Loudonville.
Noble, a Shaker High School senior, said he first learned of the opportunity to be on the set of the anti-drunk driving commercial through his father, who was helping him find a job, keeping his son's interest in film in mind.
Noble said he has been planning to go to college to major in film, most likely at Florida State University.
"My dad had heard about this and he told me," said Noble, explaining that he was eager to get involved in such an exciting job. He worked as the key grip on the film crew.
According to Joe Bashant, producer and director for Reel Productions, the film's production company, wanted to have students both behind and in front of the camera to recreate the situation as authentically as possible for students their age to be able to relate.
"It's youth-based," Bashant said. "We are definitely trying to reach out to that audience."
Bashant said all who were involved in the project, including the students and their parents, were asked to sign a waiver promising to not disclose the plot of the TV spot and documentary, as he promises there are a few "plot twists" and cliff hangers.
"We're being kind of tight-lipped about it," he said.

Details on our Third Canada-direct Hockey Series
Friday, September 17, 2004
McFarlane Toys is proud to announce the lineup for NHL Series 11 -- the third Canada-direct NHL Sports Picks line. All our NHL lines offer the very best players depicted in action and historic poses, but NHL 5, NHL 8 and now NHL 11 have all been created with our Canadian fans in mind. Each of these lineups has been filled with stars from Canadian teams or top-flight Canadian-born players. NHL 11 is slated for release in 2005.
So who made the cut?
The strong play of backup Vesa Toskala during an injury to starting goalie Evgeni Nabokov gave San Jose the confidence to trade Kiprusoff to Calgary. Kiprusoff took over for the wounded Roman Turek and never looked back. Calgary's new hero led the league in goals-against average, and helped catapult the Flames all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. A strong showing for Team Finland in the World Cup tournament left no doubt that Miikka Kiprusoff is here to stay.
Czechoslovakia is a long way from Edmonton, but it didn't take
Ales Hemsky long to make the transition. The Oilers made Hemsky the 13th overall selection in the 2001 NHL draft and the red-headed 19-year-old was suiting up for the big club just one year later. Hemsky's creative passing and soft hands have turned heads around the league, making him one of the brightest young stars in the NHL.
It took five years for Michael Ryder to go from NHL Draft Pick to Montreal Canadien, but the Habs' fans certainly believe it was worth the wait. Ryder erupted for 28 goals and 38 assists in his rookie season -- helping propel the Canadiens to the playoffs. Four games were won off Ryder's goals, placing him third on the squad. With a strong captain and a talented goaltender, the youth of Ryder may be just what Montreal needs to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Getting his own action figure is a nice honor, but probably doesn't compare to the three times Joe Nieuwendyk has hoisted the Stanley Cup. Fans in Calgary, Dallas and New Jersey have all appreciated the speedy center's contributions to their title teams -- and the Toronto faithful hope
Joe's talents will help bring a championship to the Maple Leafs. Joe's 533 career goals place him tied for 25th on the all-time goal scoring list and another 30-goal season could place him as high as 15th.
The top overall selection in the 1994 NHL draft, Ed Jovanovski has left damaged forwards in his wake during his nine-year career. In addition to headlining the Canucks defensive corps, Jovanovski has been a standard for Team Canada since 1996, including contributing to the recent victory in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.
The "Bulin Wall" gained notoriety as a Phoenix Coyote and won his first Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning, but his career started in the frozen north. Khabibulin played 79 games for the Winnipeg Jets during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. While his statistics weren't terribly notable, it was this initial NHL baptism that launched the career of one of the league's top netminders. While the Jets franchise relocated to Phoenix and became the Coyotes, we know that Winnipeg's love of hockey never dimmed and both Khabibulin and McFarlane toys are happy to offer a figure to show respect to the legacy of Jets hockey.
