Factory Second Classroom Rugs
Factory seconds are a fantastic opportunity to save money for your school or waiting area. A rug becomes a factory second when during the manufacturing process a flaw is found. These can be visual imperfections such as dye spots, backing flaws, or a seam that hasn't been sewn perfectly straight. There are no spelling errors or rips to prevent students from having a positive experience in your classroom. If you need specific sizes, please contact us and we'll be happy to provide you with a list of potential matches.
Please Read: It is important to note that the inventory of factory seconds is constantly changing. If you place an order for a rug that is not available, we will notify you once the manufacturer provides us with an update. Free Shipping.

Step 1: Scoop up a couple old bikes
Find two old bike frames. Check the Craig's list free section, your local bike kitchen, friend's garages, drainage ditches, bushes, or wherever else free bike frames are to be had.
Step 2: Cut back off of frame
Using a hack saw, or if you are luckier than me, a metal cutting band saw, cut the top tube and the down tube of your frames where they connect to the seat tube. This leaves the rear fork triangle thingy. Find somebody that needs the front of the frame for their other sweet project.
Step 3: Grind frame flush
Grind and brush the front of the seat tube so it's flush and clean for welding. The tube that the pedals go into needs to be cut down so the seat tube is flush all the way down. Grind and brush that too so there aren't any nasty burrs left over.
Step 4: Scavenge some angle iron
Find two length of angle iron that are no longer than the seat tube on either of your frames. The angle Iron should be large enough to fit around a sign post, about a two inch flange.
Step 5: Create a hinge
Step 6: Weld it up
Step 7: Weld on flanges for ultimate lockage
we just lock up to those sign poles, you have to make sure it is cemented in securely though. people set up traps, like like plugging up payphones and the return slot in the old days and sucking out the coins(yuck) check ther rigged pole for a bike that they can steal by pulling a pin out and lifting the pole off. Also if there are not signs securely on top , kids will stand on each others shoulders and lift the bike over the top, they will ,also will do it if there is too much slack in the chain or take off the signs in the bike is worth the work. 3 little kids like a circus act. .same with parking meters, i have heard people in the know, that will never lock up at a meter. i guess it is impossible to tell how tight the meter is threaded on. It may seem real secure ,but if they know a common street found device works like a wrench and applies torque, a tight meter will easily come off with a 6 foot extension. The original u locks were pried open by leverage by using the center piece of the he street closure or construction wood horses, it would just slide out at over 6 feet length of 4x6 of strong wood, pop a u lock in a second. The clear cheap ,old price 19cents round bic pens were the lock picks of the most $100 plus expensive locks with the cylinder pickproof// tumblers.
even some of the new nyc bike racks, that were bolted into the sidewalk were compromised in the first couple weeks,unknown to the unlucky bike owners.however the internet has been the best thing to fight bike theft, i am sure twitter and apps are around i don't know about yet. Passing info about weaknesses can be done in under a day, where in the old days it may take years before you found out there was a easy weakness in your lock. You may have been on your 3rd bike and still using the same krptolock that was the original problem. The smart thieves would leave the lock there, with the hasp inserted , so you would think you screwed up and didn't lock it properly, buy a new bike. lock up to the same pole, like when they steal your car battery and then your brand new battery the same week.
i saw a couple gps things at maker faire nyc that may be usable to follow bikes that are stolen. got to find a way to may bike theft a losing proposition.

Re: i am not like most of you!
I don't think Wy has a chip on his shoulder. He's a product of his life just like we all are. My life was about 2/3 bad, but the 1/3 good (so far) has been great. I struggle some. Gets easier as you get older.
Wy reminds me of a friend that got pressed into the Viet Cong forces, swam the river into Thailand with 2- 7.62's in him then swam back, stole a load of small arms, sold them and brought his family to the US with the money. He was 15 when he got here. Youan. Interesting guy.
Steady on Wy. Nothing else to do for it. Do write the book. I did and was better for it. Trashed it rightfully, but good to remember the details and see it for what it was, as an adult. Makes you understand yourself better, for what that's worth. I never thought a lot. Like Pavlov's dog I guess. Sounds like you thought to much to me.
Sorry to get personal, but you put it out here. Struck a chord.

While the rest us watched A Christmas Story at Motel 6 with eight of our family members snoring away next to us, the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt clan celebrated the holidays in an animal reserve in Namibia, feeding orphaned baboons and foxes, and watching a leopard get released back into the wild. Yeah well, they still probably fought over who got to open their presents first, right? Since then, Jolie and Pitt have donated $2 million to the Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary in the name in Namibian-born daughter Shiloh. "We want her to be very involved and grow up with the understanding of her country of birth," Brangelina's rep said Sunday. We had forgot that Shiloh was, in fact, born in Africa, though to be fair we'd need to make an Excel spreadsheet to track exactly where all the miniature Jolie-Pitts came into this world.
The huge chunk of change has the sanctuary's owners Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren feeling "overjoyed." Said Dara Barrett, head of finance at Naankuse, "Some of the donated funds will be used in the running of a clinic which provides free medical care to the community of bushmen, including the treatment of malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV." Wow, leave it to Angie and Brad to make the iPod Nano we gave our boyfriend look like a pair of itchy pink bunny pajamas. [Photo: Getty Images]

Best Practices in System Design
FMCS mediators are available to work with both public and private sector organizations to design systems for internal or external conflict resolution.
Mediators begin with a needs assessment and diagnosis, and usually a site visit. Systems design also includes a "procedures audit" studying how issues and problems are currently resolved in the organization, those options available for improvement, and a detailed plan for implementation, maintenance and evaluation of a new system.
In each case, mediators apply the best-practice experience and knowledge that has made FMCS the leading mediation service provider in the world.
For more information, please contact the nearest FMCS field office, regional office, or our National Office. You can use the contact us feature below and your message will be delivered the to appropriate FMCS office.

Northfork Engine & Crew, 1907
|Coal mining was the most dangerous profession in the United States in the 20th century. Reports of mining disasters were all too commonplace and often dozens of men were killed as a result of a single explosion or cave-in. The following account was left behind by the men who suffocated to death in the Fraterville, Tennessee mines in May 1902. Their testimony, in the form of letters composed while trapped in the mine, the air depleting rapidly, gives a grim account of the miners' final moments. This rare accounting is undeniable proof of the faith, strength and courage these brave men possessed.

Other Uses Envisioned for Valveless Pumping
Valveless pumping may also occur in the human embryo until the third week of gestation. At this stage of development, the valves of the heart have not yet formed; however, there is a net flow in the circulatory system that is somehow generated by the beating of the heart.
Modeling of valveless pumping may also aid in the design of valveless pumps for microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices. In these devices, fluid motion must be produced without moving anything inside the fluid. A MEMS device, for example, might be used to control when and how much insulin is released into the body of a diabetic.

Fulham needed a Hugo Rodallega equaliser three minutes from the end of extra-time to send the tie into a shoot-out, where John Arne Riise scored the decisive penalty.
Jol's men had looked comfortable with the first-half lead given to them by Adel Taarabt but Jack Dyer equalised after 85 to send the tie into extra time and then substitute Michael Symes put Burton in front.
"It could have been a bad night for us," said Jol. "The crowd smelt blood but it turned out nice in the end.
"We put a strong side out because we wanted to win the tie. In England the lower league sides make it difficult for you, and they made it difficult for us.
"We had all the play for about 78-80 minutes but then towards the end and in extra time they had their spell.
"But I am pleased with the resilience of my squad, they showed that they wanted to get through.
"I was impressed with Burton, they are a good side. They have a great home record, I think it was the best in their division last season.
"I wish them all the best for the remainder of the season, I think they will do very well."
Burton boss Gary Rowett was proud of the showing of his team, saying: "I thought we had some brilliant performances.
"To almost knock them out was incredible. I thought we were brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
"We've got a brilliant group of players here and over 90 minutes we are still technically unbeaten this season."

University of Charleston President Ed Welch and Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College First Lady/President Joanne Jaeger Tomblin today signed an articulation agreement, which allows Southern students to easily transition into select bachelor degree programs at UC after completing an associate degree. The signing took place today at the Southern campus in Mount Gay, W.Va.
"We are delighted that this partnership with the University of Charleston will provide our students another pathway to a four-year degree. We are very excited about the additional options this agreement will provide," said Tomblin. "We will continue to strive to provide students opportunities to excel not only while they are on our campus, but also as they continue their education at four year institutions."
The articulation agreement will enable Southern students the ability to better plan their academic careers and minimize credit loss when transferring to UC to earn their baccalaureate degrees. Transfer students will be eligible to graduate with a bachelor's degree in just two years, and in many cases move directly into one of UC's graduate programs, such as the Master of Business Administration and Leadership, Master of Strategic Leadership or Master of Forensic Accounting.
"The University of Charleston has a proud history of serving students in Southern West Virginia and we are pleased to provide incentives for students who earn degrees at Southern to be successful," said Dr. Welch. "This agreement offers a clear path for these students to continue their college careers at UC and attain their personal and professional goals."
Southern students who serve in the West Virginia National Guard and transfer to UC will be eligible for the Golden Eagle Scholarship. The scholarship will provide up to $9,000 per year in tuition assistance, while the State of West Virginia provides a $6,500 educational stipend to National Guard members. The scholarship aid from UC will mean that members of the National Guard can attend UC at a very affordable cost.
In addition to the National Guard scholarship, the University of Charleston participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides tuition benefits to veterans. UC is recognized as Military Friendly School, which recognizes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2005 "Quitting is not an exit strategy" for Iraq and would open a Pandora's box of risks to the American people, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told Pentagon reporters today.
"It would be a formula for putting more American people at still greater risk (and) an invitation for more terrorist violence," the secretary said.
"Indeed, the more the enemies make it sound as though the United States is going to quit, the more encouraged they will be," Rumsfeld continued. "And the more successful they will be in recruiting and in raising money and in trying to wait us out."
Rather than thinking in terms of an exit strategy, the American people need to focus on the U.S. and coalition strategy for victory, he said. That strategy involves passing responsibility to the Iraqi people and helping them further develop the capabilities needed to take control of their country. "It is their country to lead, and increasingly they are doing so," Rumsfeld said.
President Bush will discuss such a victory strategy during a major speech Nov. 30 at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., Rumsfeld noted.
"That strategy is working, and we should stick to it," Rumsfeld said.
The secretary ticked off examples throughout Iraq, particularly within its security framework, that demonstrate progress:
"In short, those who have denigrated the Iraqi security forces have been wrong," the secretary said.
As this trend continues, once-restive areas now under Iraqi military control are experiencing a new sense of peacefulness. Attacks along Baghdad's Airport Road have dropped sharply since an Iraqi police battalion assumed control of it in April. Baghdad's once-violent Haifa Street has become largely peaceful under an Iraqi army battalion's control. Shiite areas of Najaf, Karbala and Sadr City, scenes of bloody encounters in 2004, have dropped from the headlines.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi people are playing a bigger role, too, by reporting insurgent activity to Iraqi and coalition forces, noted Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In March, a special hotline received fewer than 500 tips, but in October that number surged to 4,700, Pace said. One tip from an Iraqi citizen helped Iraqi and U.S. forces uncover a bomb-making factory Nov. 28, he noted.
"These kinds of tips from the Iraqi populace indicate to me that they understand that the future is with their own armed forces, and, with the help of the coalition, we will help them (realize) that," Pace said.
Rumsfeld acknowledged challenges remain in preparing Iraq's security forces to take full control of Iraq's security as progress continues. More work is needed to develop logistics and administrative capabilities at the brigade, division and ministry levels to fully sustain Iraqi units through the range of combat operations, he said.
Iraq's military still needs to overcome the legacy of the Saddam Hussein era, which Rumsfeld said punished initiative and centralized virtually all decision making.
"Let's be clear," Rumsfeld said. "U.S. forces are in Iraq to help the Iraqis fight the terrorists there so we don't have to fight them here in the United States."
He posed a choice for Americans debating the worthiness of that mission: Would Americans and the world be better off or safer if the United States abandoned its job in Iraq prematurely and allowed terrorists to prevail?
Or, Rumsfeld asked, "would the American people be better if we continue to work with the Iraqi people so they are able to gain in the experience and capabilities that they need to fight and defeat terrorists in their country?"

Ok so I modded my freinds wii using the 4.3u guide from Mauifrog. Very good guide to say the least. I used indiana pawns to install hbc and bootmii. used MMM to Install 19 wads, and then returned the system menu to 4.1, (backed up the nand) and installed priiloader.
Now when using wiiflow the wii would freeze a lot. Like after 5 mins of viewing or playing a game. Somebody recommended using pimp my wii. So I did. Since then I've read that most senior members of this site advocate against this app and even call brick my wii :/.
However, it seemed to have worked. And for a day he was using wiiflow a lot. The next day he got a black screen when opening the wii. Nothing. For a whoel day his wii gave him nothing but a black screen. But now, after leaving it unplugged for a day, it seems to be back to normal. Is there anything I can check or do to make sure this won't happen again?
Any help is much, much appreciated.
Hmmm... strange. Might be a heat issue.
Hmmm yes I was thinking that might be the case.. its possible.
but is there any thing else possible?
From what I have seen when a Wii is bricked it stays bricked when it's a software issue and doesn't fix itself. The only thing that I can think of that is close to this would be a corrupt message board but that would give you an error as if this post here. That wasn't this users issue but I fixed a Wii by following the steps in post #2 of that thread and refereed others to it whit success when they had problems. Like I said, I don't think it your issue but if it happens again you might give it a shot. Other than that, I have know idea.

The latest Wikileaks disclosures show how big a botch job the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo is, and why we're still stuck with it.
First, from the Miami Herald. the latest on just how badly the Bush administration botched it:
The world may have thought the U.S. was detaining a band of international terrorists whose questioning would help the hunt for Osama bin Laden or foil the next 9/11.
But a collection of secret intelligence documents from George W. Bush's administration, not meant to surface for 20 years, shows that the military's efforts at Guantánamo often were much less effective than the government has acknowledged. Viewed as a whole, the secret intelligence summaries help explain why in May 2009 President Barack Obama, after ordering his own review of wartime intelligence, called America's experiment at Guantánamo "quite simply a mess."
The documents, more than 750 individual assessments of former and current Guantánamo detainees, show an intelligence operation that was tremendously dependent on informants – both prison-camp snitches repeating what they'd heard from fellow captives and self-described, at times self-aggrandizing, former al-Qaeda insiders turned government witnesses who Pentagon records show have since been released.
Intelligence analysts are at odds with each other over which informants to trust, at times drawing inferences from prisoners exercise habits. They ordered DNA tests, tethered Taliban suspects to polygraphs, strung together tidbits at times in ways that seemed to defy common sense.
The documents also show that in the earliest years of the prison camp's operation, the Pentagon permitted Chinese and Russian interrogators into the camps – information from those sessions are included in some captives' assessments – something American defense lawyers working free for the foreign prisoners have alleged and protested for years.
Guantánamo analysts at times questioned the reliability of some information gleaned from other detainees' interrogations.
Allegations and information from one Yemeni, no longer at Guantánamo, appears in at least 135 detainees' files, prompting Navy Rear Adm. Dave Thomas, the prison camps commander in August 2008, to include this warning:
"Any information provided should be adequately verified through other sources before being utilized."
The same report goes on to praise the captive as an "invaluable intelligence source" for information about "al Qaeda and Taliban training, operations, personnel and facilities," and warns that he'd be at risk of retaliation if he were released into Yemeni society. He was resettled in Europe by the Obama administration.
In fact, information from just eight men showed up in risk-assessment forms for at least 235 Guantánamo detainees — some 30 percent of those known to have been held there. …
The Washington Post has more on what's in the Wikileaks documents, including regarding the whereabouts of key al-Qaida suspects on 9/11:
On Sept. 11, 2001, the core of al-Qaeda was concentrated in a single city: Karachi, Pakistan.
At a hospital, the accused mastermind of the bombing of the USS Cole was recovering from a tonsillectomy. Nearby, the alleged organizer of the 2002 bombing in Bali, Indonesia, was buying lab equipment for a biological weapons program. And in a safe house, the man who would later describe himself as the intellectual author of the Sept. 11 attacks was with other key al-Qaeda members watching the scenes from New York and Washington unfold on television.
Within a day, much of the al-Qaeda leadership was on the way back to Afghanistan, planning for a long war.
A cache of classified military documents obtained by the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks presents new details of their whereabouts on Sept. 11, 2001, and their movements afterward. The documents also offer some tantalizing glimpses into the whereabouts and operations of Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The documents, provided to European and U.S. news outlets, including The Washington Post, are intelligence assessments of nearly every one of the 779 individuals who have been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2002. In them, analysts have created detailed portraits of detainees based on raw intelligence, including material gleaned from interrogations.
Detainees are assessed "high," "medium" or "low" in terms of their intelligence value, the threat they pose while in detention and the continued threat they might pose to the United States if released.
The documents tend to take a bleak view of the detainees, even those who have been ordered released by the federal courts because of a lack of evidence to justify their continued detention. And the assessments are often based, in part, on reporting by informants at the military detention center, sources that some judges have found wanting. …
So why is Gitmo still open?
From a Herald story in January: the intransigence of Congress stands out, particularly since American refusal to take any detainees has made other countries unwilling to do so:
Many factors worked to thwart Obama's plans to close the camps — from a tangled bureaucracy to fears that released detainees would become terrorists. But Congress' prohibition on resettling any of the detainees in the United States hamstrung the administration's global search for countries willing to take the captives in.
The U.S. refusal to take in the captives "comes up all the time," acknowledged a senior Obama administration official of U.S. efforts to find homes for released detainees.
"Were we willing to take a couple of detainees ourselves, it would've made the job of moving detainees out of Guantánamo significantly easier," said the official, who agreed to speak only anonymously because of the delicacy of the diplomacy.
Still, the Obama administration has managed to arrange to find new homes for 38 Guantánamo detainees in 16 countries, including Bermuda, Bulgaria, Palau and Portugal.
Some countries found the individual stories of men at Guantánamo with no place to go "compelling," the official said. "Some wanted to help the United States in general. Some wanted to help Obama in particular."
Placing Guantánamo detainees was even more difficult even during the Bush administration, the WikiLeaks cables show.
Sweden in 2007 turned down a request that Stockholm provide safe haven for two Uzbek detainees who feared going home.
A cable quotes Sweden's counterterrorism ambassador, Cecilia Ruthstrom-Ruin, as declaring "it is natural to wonder why," if as free men the ex-captives need monitoring, the United States doesn't undertake to handle it. …
That intransigence also comes up in this lengthy Wapo piece on why President Obama has been unable to fulfill his promise, sealed in his first two executive orders, to close the prison at Guantanamo. But what also stands out is the finger-pointing of unnamed Congressional aides, who seem eager to deflect blame onto the White House. White House aides, meanwhile, are just as eager to blame Congress:
Administration officials lay blame for the failed initiative on Congress, including Democrats who deserted the president, sometimes in droves. The debate, they said, became suffused with fear — fear that transferring detainees to American soil would create a genuine security threat, fear that closing Guantanamo would be electoral suicide. Some Democratic lawmakers pleaded with the White House not to press too hard, according to administration officials.
The White House asserts it was fully engaged in the effort to close Guantanamo.
"Any claim that the White House didn't fight to close Guantanamo is just flat wrong," spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
… The one theme that repeatedly emerged in interviews was a belief that the White House never pressed hard enough on what was supposed to be a signature goal. Although the closure of Guantanamo Bay was announced in an executive order, which Obama signed on Jan. 22, 2009, the fanfare never translated into the kind of political push necessary to sustain the policy.
"Vulnerable senators weren't going out on a limb and risk being Willie Hortonized on Gitmo when the White House, with the most to lose, wasn't even twisting arms," said a senior Democratic aide whose boss was one of 50 Democrats to vote in 2009 against funding to close Guantanamo. "They weren't breathing down our necks pushing the vote or demanding unified action."
So did you see that? This aide's boss voted along with the 50 Democrats who went against the president on Gitmo, but it's the White House's fault they caved on him.
You've gotta love Washington.
If the Wapo report is to be believed, it appears that no one in Washington has pushed hard enough on this, in the White House or on Capitol Hill. But Congress appears to have been playing a double game — throwing every conceivable road block in the way of closing Gitmo, and then blaming the White House, Rahm Emanuel, the president, or anyone else but themselves, for it still being open.
UPDATE: The New York Times, meanwhile, has the story of how one prisoner went from Gitmo inmate to U.S. ally — of sorts — in Libya:
For more than five years, Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu was a prisoner at the Guantánamo Bay prison, judged "a probable member of Al Qaeda" by the analysts there. They concluded in a newly disclosed 2005 assessment that his release would represent a "medium to high risk, as he is likely to pose a threat to the U.S., its interests and allies."
Today, Mr. Qumu, 51, is a notable figure in the Libyan rebels' fight to oust Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, reportedly a leader of a ragtag band of fighters known as the Darnah Brigade for his birthplace, this shabby port town of 100,000 people in northeast Libya. The former enemy and prisoner of the United States is now an ally of sorts, a remarkable turnabout resulting from shifting American policies rather than any obvious change in Mr. Qumu.
He was a tank driver in the Libyan Army in the 1980s, when the Central Intelligence Agency was spending billions to support religious militants trying to drive Soviet troops out of Afghanistan. Mr. Qumu moved to Afghanistan in the early 1990s, just as Osama bin Laden and other former mujahedeen were violently turning against their former benefactor, the United States.
He was captured in Pakistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, accused of being a member of the militant Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and sent to Guantánamo — in part because of information provided by Colonel Qaddafi's government.
"The Libyan Government considers detainee a 'dangerous man with no qualms about committing terrorist acts,' " says the classified 2005 assessment, evidently quoting Libyan intelligence findings, which was obtained by The New York Times. " 'He was known as one of the extremist commanders of the Afghan Arabs,' " the Libyan information continues, referring to Arab fighters who remained in Afghanistan after the anti-Soviet jihad.
When that Guantánamo assessment was written, the United States was working closely with Colonel Qaddafi's intelligence service against terrorism. Now, the United States is a leader of the international coalition trying to oust Colonel Qaddafi — and is backing with air power the rebels, including Mr. Qumu. …
Read the rest here.
And the Times has more specifics on how the Bush administration treated the detainees:
¶The 20th hijacker: The best-documented case of an abusive interrogation at Guantánamo was the coercive questioning, in late 2002 and early 2003, of Mohammed Qahtani. A Saudi believed to have been an intended participant in the Sept. 11 attacks, Mr. Qahtani was leashed like a dog, sexually humiliated and forced to urinate on himself. His file says, "Although publicly released records allege detainee was subject to harsh interrogation techniques in the early stages of detention," his confessions "appear to be true and are corroborated in reporting from other sources." But claims that he is said to have made about at least 16 other prisoners — mostly in April and May 2003 — are cited in their files without any caveat.
… and other revelations, some of which are embarrassing indeed:
¶Threats against captors: While some detainees are described in the documents as "mostly compliant and rarely hostile to guard force and staff," others spoke of violence. One detainee said "he would like to tell his friends in Iraq to find the interrogator, slice him up, and make a shwarma (a type of sandwich) out of him, with the interrogator's head sticking out of the end of the shwarma." Another "threatened to kill a U.S. service member by chopping off his head and hands when he gets out," and informed a guard that "he will murder him and drink his blood for lunch. Detainee also stated he would fly planes into houses and prayed that President Bush would die."
… ¶The Yemenis' hard luck: The files for dozens of the remaining prisoners portray them as low-level foot-soldiers who traveled from Yemen to Afghanistan before the Sept. 11 attacks to receive basic military training and fight in the civil war there, not as global terrorists. Otherwise identical detainees from other countries were sent home many years ago, the files show, but the Yemenis remain at Guantánamo because of concerns over the stability of their country and its ability to monitor them.
¶Dubious information: Some assessments revealed the risk of relying on information supplied by people whose motives were murky. Hajji Jalil, then a 33-year-old Afghan, was captured in July 2003, after the Afghan chief of intelligence in Helmand Province said Mr. Jalil had taken an "active part" in an ambush that killed two American soldiers. But American officials, citing "fraudulent circumstances," said later that the intelligence chief and others had participated in the ambush, and they had "targeted" Mr. Jalil "to provide cover for their own involvement." He was sent home in March 2005.
¶A British agent: One report reveals that American officials discovered a detainee had been recruited by British and Canadian intelligence to work as an agent because of his "connections to members of various Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist groups." But the report suggests that he had never shifted his militant loyalties. It says that the Central Intelligence Agency, after repeated interrogations of the detainee, concluded that he had "withheld important information" from the British and Canadians, and assessed him "to be a threat" to American and allied personnel in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has since been sent back to his country.
¶A journalist's interrogation: The documents show that a major reason a Sudanese cameraman for Al Jazeera, Sami al-Hajj, was held at Guantánamo for six years was for questioning about the television network's "training program, telecommunications equipment, and newsgathering operations in Chechnya, Kosovo, and Afghanistan," including contacts with terrorist groups. While Mr. Hajj insisted he was just a journalist, his file says he helped Islamic extremist groups courier money and obtain Stinger missiles and cites the United Arab Emirates' claim that he was a Qaeda member. He was released in 2008 and returned to work for Al Jazeera. …
And perhaps the saddest revelations of all: that Republicans on the Hill continue to want to actively use Gitmo, even as the value of whatever information the detainees might ever have had fades into the past…
No new prisoners have been transferred to Guantánamo since 2007. Some Republicans are urging the Obama administration to send newly captured terrorism suspects to the prison, but so far officials have refused to increase the inmate population.
As a result, Guantánamo seems increasingly frozen in time, with detainees locked into their roles at the receding moment of their capture.
For example, an assessment of a former top Taliban official said he "appears to be resentful of being apprehended while he claimed he was working for the US and Coalition forces to find Mullah Omar," a reference to Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban chief who is in hiding.
But whatever the truth about the detainee's role before his capture in 2002, it is receding into the past. So, presumably, is the value of whatever information he possesses. Still, his jailers have continued to press him for answers. His assessment of January 2008 — six years after he arrived in Cuba — contended that it was worthwhile to continue to interrogate him, in part because he might know about Mullah Omar's "possible whereabouts."

|van der Architects - Ernst & Young's TAS offices in Tokyo
The architects wanted to avoid designing 'boxes within boxes', meaning cubicles within closed rooms. They also wanted to develop their program from the nature of the work performed, rather than a short list of requested spaces and furniture. VDAJ used a proven methodology they called called WorkvitaminsTM that takes their clients through a systematic process, using cards, questionnaires and posters. This ensures that not only the functional side, but also the emotional side of the design is taken into consideration. Still according to the architect, the WorkVitaminTM methodology stretches the often limited view that people of what an office should look like.

Spring Sports Highlights
The 2011 spring campaign was unquestionably a successful one for Crusader teams. A combined three Landmark Conference Tournament appearances, two Coach of the Year honors and 22 all-league players were just a few of the highlights put together by SU's spring squads.
To start, the men's lacrosse team achieved a historically successful season. The team won a program-record 11 games and earned its first-ever trip to the Landmark Conference Tournament as the No. 4 seed. In addition, four players earned All-Landmark Conference honors, and head coach Stewart Moan and his staff were named the Landmark Coaching Staff of the Year.
The softball and baseball teams also both advanced to their respective postseason tournaments. The softball squad finished the year with 29 victories and earned the No. 2 seed in the tournament. Despite falling short of the ultimate goal of a league title, the Crusaders saw senior pitcher Cara Swerdlow cap off her historic four-year career with Pitcher of the Year honors. The team also boasted four other all-conference players.
SU's baseball team used its final conference series to earn a postseason berth for the fourth-straight season. Susquehanna was eliminated in back-to-back two-run games but saw five of its players recognized by the Landmark Conference.
In track and field action, the Crusaders put together another season of solid team and individual performances. Both the men and the women grabbed second-place finishes at the outdoor championships and the women's runner-up effort garnered head coach Marty Owens and his staff Coaching Staff of the Year honors. Thrower Ken Schetroma '13 was named the Male Field Athlete of the Year, and fellow thrower Seth Landgraf '14 reeled in Co-Male Rookie of the Year honors. In addition, three athletes provisionally qualified for the NCAA Division III nationals, and two went on to compete at the championship event.
The women's lacrosse team may have failed to qualify for its postseason tournament, but three of its players earned All-Landmark Conference recognition, and with just three seniors leaving the program following the spring, the Crusaders have a young and deep squad taking the field next season.
In other action, the men's golf team received a second-consecutive major award as Steve Welkie '14 was named the Empire 8 Men's Golf Rookie of the Year. In addition, two women's tennis players received all-league nods.
Contributing writer to the Scoreboard is Katie Meier, director of athletics communications.

Yes, America on trial! And no is not liberal propaganda, its Ed Brubaker's newest arc.
Do not worry is not Steve Rogers, its Bucky Barnes the new Captain Puerto Ric…oh…um…America!
As many of you know or don't, Bucky Barnes was the Russian Hitman Winter Soldier, who was Captain America's Sidekick during WW2.
Check what MARVEL says about this:
By Kevin Mahadeo
America goes on trial this October when James "Bucky" Barnes takes the stand and faces the music for his crimes as The Winter Soldier in writer Ed Brubaker and artist Butch Guice's "The Trial of Captain America," which begins in CAPTAIN AMERICA #611.
Court comes in session following the aftermath of the previous arc, in which Baron Zemo's return ends with the public revelation of Bucky's actions during the Cold War.
"It basically comes down to Bucky being put on trial for the sins of The Winter Soldier," explains Brubaker. "The Winter Soldier was a Cold War Russian hitman and saboteur, so he would be considered by a lot of the world to be a traitor to America and other countries as well. He is a potential huge Cold War criminal and he's been running around in a Captain America outfit and nobody seems to have noticed this."
The writer says he had planned this arc for quite some time, way back when the decision first came to make Bucky the next Star-Spangled Avenger. After all, as Brubaker himself put it, although Nick Fury and Tony Stark brushed the former sidekick's past actions under the rug, cover-ups never last forever.
"It was always going to come up one way or another, whether Bucky became Captain America or not," Brubaker says. "It was always going to be something that he was going to have to face. [Original Captain America] Steve [Rogers] gave him his memories back in issue #14 with the Cosmic Cube and made him Bucky again, but he was the same guy and remembers everything that he did as The Winter Soldier. Even though he was a brainwashed assassin trained by the Russians, he's always been haunted by it, which is something that we've touched on periodically since issue #14. It was always a past he was going to face up to."
Well it sucks for Bucky i'll tell ya! It would have been so cool to see (no pun intended)Matt Murdock defend Barnes in the court. But like the article says, SHADOWLAND wont let that happen.
I even think they might bring Daredevil to court after all his shenanigans! I mean Leader Of The Hand!? Anyways thats another story.
How do you think this ordeal will end?

Raleigh fashion show connected to Henderson
The Blue Pasura Fashion Show, to be held at the North Raleigh Hilton on Aug. 4, has a Henderson connection.
In fact, it has several Henderson connections.
The fashion show will be presented by Naudre International, a booking agency for commercial and fashion models.
The company was founded by sisters Amanda Reavis and Adrea Reavis Smith. Adrea teaches music at Northern Vance High School. And their parents, Grandison and Angela Reavis, graduated from that school when it was known as Vance County Senior High School.
In a third connection, Amanda and Adrea's grandparents, Arthur and Alice Pendergrass, still live in Henderson.
Angela Reavis said her daughters established the company when they were 10 and 15 years old, respectively.
They have both worked as models themselves, both on the runway and in magazine ads. Adrea has been in commercials for Belk, Crest, Macy's, MacDonald's and Target.
Amanda has been in more than 20 fashion shows as a runway model. She is currently a junior at East Carolina University, where she is working on a nursing degree.
The Blue Pasura Fashion Show is a charity event, with proceeds going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In addition to raising money, the show will be a tribute to children who have been diagnosed with cancer.
In keeping with the child-centered purpose, the master of ceremonies and disc jockey will be 9-year-old Chase Dawson, son of Brian Dawson of radio station K97.5.
"This will be his first time hosting an event," Angela Reavis said. "He's a little bit nervous."
Ticket prices are $15 for general admission, $25 for VIP status and $40 for Executive VIP status. Prices at the door are $5 higher each.
Tax-deductible donations will also be accepted.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was founded 50 years ago by movie and TV star Danny Thomas. It provides free treatment for children suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition to children treated at the hospital, thousands more have been helped by discoveries made in St. Jude research projects.
Beneficiaries of past shows sponsored by Naudre include Wakefield High School, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation, the Lupus Foundation and the American Heart Association.
In addition to raising money for worthy causes, Naudre International seeks out and nurtures new talent. It offers individuals many opportunities to make contacts with prominent names in the fashion and beauty industry in the United States and overseas.

We need to get much more fusion and synergy between our scientists and firms according to The Treasury.
There's enough statistics to show that while our research output is pretty good by OECD standards, and the hours worked in NZ are already high.
Compared to Australia however, an hour worked in New Zealand produces about 30% less value-added than an hour worked across the ditch Treasury deputy secretary Struan Little recently told the NZ Association of Scientists.
Analysis by the OECD shows that between 25 — 45% of productivity gains come from innovation, 'so it's crucial that we deepen our understanding of how innovation happens and get much, much better at is so the economy can deliver the higher living standards we're aiming for,' Little says.
(Yet) another OECD report shows that we're not very good at converting research knowledge into commercial opportunities and higher value — technology diffusion and adoption is a weakness for NZ.
'What is key is getting science connected with business, so science can give business a hand-up to solve problems entrepreneurs are grappling with and to realise opportunities they have glimpsed,' Little says.
NZ needs to get the best out of substantial changes occurring in the science system, and the new Ministry of Science and Innovation will need to live up to its name and ensure that innovation is as centre stage as science policy he says.
'It will probably mean some shift of focus and funding from 'blue skies' and basic research to applied research of relevance to firms,' Little says. 'And to apply energy and drive to getting a step-change in collaboration and knowledge transfer both in the science sector and between the science sector and firms.'
He acknowledges that science contributes important outcomes for NZ, including environmental, health and social; but that being from Treasury, he tends to use an economic lens.
'We must build up a stronger focus, not just on commercialisation and technology push, but knowledge transfer more generally,' says Little. 'To capitalise on our innovation potential, we have to ensure that the flow of ideas is genuinely two way — not just from public research organisations to firms, but from firms to scientists, scientists to scientists and, where possible, from firms to firms. Building stronger networks, with highly mobile researchers with strong links to industry will be part of this, as well as accessing and adapting the best ideas from abroad.'

Things I liked:This flashlight is well built and extremely focused. It's not extremely bright but the tight beam makes it a very effective spot light. The light would definitely blind anything you point it at within 100 yards or so.
Things I would have changed:Use a rotary switch to cycle through modes. I use the pressure switch on my airgun and I don't like that I might accidentally switch modes while hunting if I'm not careful about leaving the light off for a long enough amount of time.
What others should know:I would say that this light is not very useful in under 30 yards because the beam of light is so compact. However for long range hunting or for hunting small varmints this light is great.
Things I liked:Very effective spot light, has found a definite spot in my collection of hunting and safety equipment.
Things I would have changed:Better way of mounting on an air rifle. But then again at the effective range of this light, it's best used on longer range rifles.
What others should know:I found this not to work well mounted on any of my air rifles. It does have a very effective light beam, just it's too compact within air rifle range, anything less than 50 yards . Now with that said, it has been proving itself as a very excellent target acquisition and spot light for scanning the terrain and finding rabbits and other game and varmints at night. Once target is found, easily taken with clean shots with an already mounted light on my scope( from another brand)
Things I liked:nice heavy duty, and bright flashlight, easily mounts and detaches from my AR15 with no tools.
Things I would have changed:need to use a rotary or toggle switch to cycle functions... something like the nebo redline has. stumbling through cycles on a weapon light in the dark sucks.
had this light for a couple weeks now, unfortunately ammo costs are a lil high to test as much as i would like, but so far after 300 rounds through my AR15 no malfunctions at all, takes the recoil and shooting vibrations very well. will update if anything changes... only 2 cons so far are the way the light cycles through functions, and it's size (seriously, this light is like having a second scope on your gun. same diameter as my centerpoint 4-16x40 scope and only a couple inches shorter)

With just under three-fifths of Purchasing Managers in the United States reporting more than 10 years of experience in the field, this area is heavily weighted toward experienced professionals. Pay ranges from $40K to $99K per year and averages out to $63K annually. Bonuses, profit sharing, and commission all factor into final incomes for Purchasing Managers. Ranging between $40K near the bottom and $99K near the top, total earnings can include up to $12K from bonuses and up to $10K from profit sharing, with a high-performing minority reaping commissions of $23K. Residence is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by career duration. The majority of Purchasing Managers claim high levels of job satisfaction. The majority of Purchasing Managers (62 percent) survey respondents are male. Most report receiving medical coverage from their employers and the greater part collect dental insurance. This report is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Purchasing managers are involved in all aspects of the company's business, from development to finding costs savings to corporate strategy to production. A successful purchasing manager must be able to review proposals for new projects in a timely manner, and they must maintain frequent interaction with marketing teams to discuss sales proposals and marketing strategies. They also must be skilled at finding cost savings.Read More...
Purchasing managers handle contract negotiation, maintain level of rapport with vendors and clientele, and supervise purchasing agents. They strive to seek out the best possible vendors with the most reasonable price for the value sought.
Individuals in these positions must be able to multitask while paying great attention to detail. They must have a solid understanding of math, as well as excellent analytical skills. A successful purchasing manager exudes confidence and is able to think quickly on his or her feet. He or she must be comfortable with enforcing the company's policies and procedures, as well as have a good background in business and knowing how an organization functions internally.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Though some Purchasing Managers move into positions like Director of Supply Chain Management (where the average salary is $120K), this progression is not the norm. It is quite typical for Purchasing Managers to transition into roles as Purchasing Directors or Supply Chain Managers, where reported median earnings are $22K and $20K higher per year.
Survey respondents exploit a significant toolbox of skills in their work. Most notably, skills in Contract Negotiation, Strategic Planning, Supply Chain, and Leadership are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 14 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Inventory Control, Inventory Management, and Microsoft Excel. Most people skilled in Procurement are similarly competent in Inventory Management, Contract Negotiation, and Negotiation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Purchasing Managers with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $51K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $60K. Purchasing Managers bring in $69K after working for 10 to 20 years. Purchasing Managers with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $74K.
With a pay rate for Purchasing Managers that is 22 percent greater than the national average, Charlotte offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Purchasing Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Chicago (+16 percent), Seattle (+16 percent), Los Angeles (+15 percent), and Houston (+13 percent). With compensation 17 percent below the national average, Miami is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market.

Man in 60s dies of heart attack on Vault Beach at Gorran Haven
Posted: July 11, 2013|
Comments (0)
A beach-goer in his 60s died of a heart attack at Gorran Haven yesterday.
Mevagissey and St Austell coastguard rescue teams and Fowey RNLI lifeboat were all deployed to Vault Beach at about 3.30pm to assist ambulance staff with a casualty.
A spokeswoman from the South West Ambulance Service Trust later confirmed: "A man in his 60s went into cardiac arrest and was beyond any help from us."
The incident is now being dealt with by Devon and Cornwall Police, who were unavailable for comment at the time of writing.

Vincent Van Gogh: Before he became a painter, Van Gogh aspired to be a magazine illustrator. He praised the quality of illustrations in magazines such as Graphic, Illustrated London News, L'Illustration, and Harper's Weekly, and clipped out their drawings, which he pasted in portfolios for further study. UCLA art professor Albert Boime quotes Van Gogh's correspondence on this topic: "[Van Gogh] declared: 'I would like to go to London with portfolio and visit the editors and managers of the illustrated journals-also get information about the different processes-a double-page spread allows for broader style.' That he fully intended to specialize in magazine illustration is seen in his hopeful observation that magazine editors would welcome 'somebody who considers making illustrations his specialty.'"
Willem De Kooning: The darling of the abstract expressionist crowd came to America to find work as a commercial artist, abandoning Europe which was then the bastion of traditional gallery art. De Kooning said he was not concerned about the stigma of commercial art. He just knew that America was a place you could get ahead if you worked hard. He later turned from commercial art to house painting when he found that house painting paid more (at that time, $9 per day).
John Updike: a major fan of cartoon art, he collected comic strips from the newspapers, wrote fan letters to comic strip artists and collected their originals. He tried unsuccessfully to become a cartoonist, and later settled for being a writer. But to this day, he says "whatever crispness and animation my writing has, I credit the cartoonist manque." (Hogan's Alley No. 3, p.125)
Ad Reinhart: the famous abstract painter was a newspaper cartoonist in the 1940s and 1950s for the New York newspaper PM. (NYT December 21, 2003).
Michael Chabon, pulitzer prize winning novelist who now works in comic books, described the attraction as follows: "High art and low art, children's reading and adult's reading, the margins of trash and quality....comic books have always been border straddling, even, fundamentally, between words and pictures. There's something stimulating about hanging out at the borders there." (NYT March 17,2004)
Gilbert Seldes, one of the country's most prominent literary and art critic pronounced the comic strip Krazy Kat to be "the most amusing and fantastic and satisfactory work of art produced in America today." The poet E.E. Cummings wrote an essay praising the art of Krazy Kat and describing the strip as a "living ideal" superior to "mere reality." Other fans included the painters Joan Miro and Willem de Kooning as well as authors Jack Kerouac and Gertrude Stein.

Jeongmoon Choi makes elaborate laser shows from UV lights and thread
We all know that lasers are cool. Statistically speaking they're cooler than David Hasselhoff, Madonna and ice put together. Yessir. But what about threads posing as lasers? Just how cool are they exactly? It's not a question that had ever crossed our minds until we saw the work of Jeongmoon Choi, a Korean artist who uses UV lighting and coloured thread to create striking installations. By shining UV rays onto geometrically arranged luminous threads Jeongmoon transforms galleries into spaces that resemble retro gaming grids and complex light shows. Tron fans take note, this is the fine artist for you!
