Lawmaker seeks probe of sex scandal at Texas military base
"What is happening at Lackland is systemic and warrants this committee's immediate attention," Rep. Jackie Speier's letter states. "In light of the alarming trend of sexual assault cases documented in the military as a whole, it is imperative that Congress hold the military accountable and truly implement a zero-tolerance policy in response to this problem."

Debt deal could mean pain for Texas, other states with big military presence
Defense Department officials are bracing for potential spending cuts in a deficit-reduction deal approved by Congress that could have financial impact on Texas and states with military bases and personnel.
That could have a major impact in Texas, the state with the largest number of active-duty military personnel, 131,548, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Texas has the third largest number of Defense Department civilian employees, with 48,057.[Read More]
House GOP, led by John Culberson, slashes Obama's miltary construction budget
House Republicans released a spending bill for military construction and Veterans Affairs that cuts $1.2 billion from the Obama administration's $73.7 billion budget request.
"For the first time in history, we have achieved savings in this bill while continuing to build necessary facilities and preserving high-quality services for our military and veterans," said Rep.

San Antonio wants what Houston and Dallas have: Nonstop flights to the nation's capital

callback - call a user back, presenting a login prompt

Call the given phone number (if none is given on the command line, ask user for one), and if a CONNECT is established, hand over control to mgetty(8) to present user with a login name prompt.

This is the bit rate that should be used for the machine-modem connection. Usually you'll set this via the

callback will read all its configuration at run-time from a file, usually called /etc/mgetty/callback.config. See the documentation in the mgetty.info manual for details.
In most cases, callback can't print any error messages to the console, because it must detach itself immediately from the terminal, in case someone wants to be called back on the modem line he called in. So, nothing to print messages to...

Well, as far as sata 3.0 is concerned, the board does have a 3rd party sata 3.0 controler(marvell i think) wich i'm using a pair of intel 510 SSD's in raid 0 with it, so the new X79 chipset will have more sata 3.0 ports most likely, but i only need 2 ports anyhow...
As for USB 3.0, i don't really use any external devices that would make use of it's extra bandwith over USB 2.0, and if those cases present themselves,i also have E Sata ports available for it anyhow...
So it leaves PCI-e 3.0 as the distinguishing feature here and i like that intel will integrate that into the CPU die as it'll reduce latency issues over the current implementation, but if the transistion from PCI-e 1.0 to 2.0 was any indication many years ago, the performance increase is pretty much non existant unless the software is specifically created to make use of it, and given how software is lagging behind these days with game developers still wanting to make their games run on outdated consoles up until 2014(that's when the X360 and PS3 will be replaced), i'm not holding my breath on that one...
I'm not in denial that there won't eventually be faster systems than my setup as time goes on, since technology is always evolving, but until that happends and even more so when software can make this current setup actually struggle at anything, well let's say several years have already passed once that point has been reached, so it's nothing i'm worried about right now to say the least...

COLUMBIA CITY — St. Paul of the Cross Catholic Church is everything Father Gary expected it to be.
Sigler, who has been with the church for more than a year, said he always thought St. Paul would be a wonderful place to be.
"I used to tell people if I could have any parish in the diocese, it would be St. Paul of the Cross in Columbia City," Sigler said. "So when the Bishop offered it to me, I was just amazed because it was the parish I've always wanted."
Sigler said St. Paul was his church of choice because of the community and size of the parish.
"Before I became the priest here, I knew the parish and had visited a number of times," Sigler said.
Sigler was at the church 28 years ago when it was built, and was even around for moral support after a wind storm brought down the rafters, when Father Bill Schooler was the priest.
A year into his time at St. Paul, Sigler said it has been everything he expected it to be.

The Lions Club of Logan will be preparing for its annual fundraiser during their next meeting when they get the rubber ducks ready for their annual race down the mighty Guyandotte River on September 8th at about 11 a.m. behind LEASA.
Lions President Chuck Puckett said club members will be needed to help get ready for the race by painting new numbers on this year's batch of polymer based birds.
"Our next Lion's Club meeting is going to be at the Presbyterian Church and it will involve numbering the ducks," Puckett said recently. "The more people we have the fast the work will go."
The meeting will take place on Sept. 4 at 6 p.m.
The annual event which sees a flock of numbered toy ducks turned loose in the Guyandotte River at the end of the summer will leave one lucky winner $1,000 richer. Tickets for the Rubber Ducky Race are still available from individual Lions members. According to President Puckett, individual members may still have tickets available for their other major fundraiser this year - a raffle for a .22 caliber Boy Scouts of America rifle manufactured by the Ruger Company. The raffle is a new idea for the Lions Club of Logan and seems to be going well.
The Lions Club locally is strongly associated with the Boy Scouts of America. Many Lions Club members are former Boy Scouts themselves and some have been Scout Troop Leaders and the club continues to support and keep up one of the cabins at the Boy Scout camp in Chapmanville.
The Ruger Model 10-22 Boy Scouts of America Commemorative Rifle, a .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle, arrived at B&B Loans in Logan and $10 raffle tickets are available now from Lions Club members. The drawing for the rifle will be held on Nov. 14 at the annual Tri-Club Dinner where the Lions, Kiwanians and Rotarians have a Thanksgiving meal together.

Technology Review Magazine: Killer Maps
The Google Earth Blog has tipped me off on great article that is currently running in MIT's Technology Review Magazine titled: "Killer Maps". Frank Taylor of the Google Earth Blog writes:
This is an excellent story not only highlighting Google Earth, but also talking about the interfaces (APIs) Google and other mapping tools are creating allowing programmers to customize the maps. This is a long article with lots of examples of how these tools are being used. The first "page" is dedicated to an example of Google Earth being used to plan a trip to Chicago.

Boom Mac Volume Booster v1.4- The Best Just Got Better
Boom volume booster does find a place in every Mac out here in Global Delight, just like most of you use it for cranking your Mac's volume or for setting customizable presets for YouTube, Skype, Netflix, iTunes and the likes.
It's been a while we were working on the new version of Boom, testing it internally, giving it to the Beta users for a spin, obtaining their feedback and then tweaking it further. We now have the new update [v1.4] released simultaneously on the Mac App Store and also from the Boom website. Following is the detailed change list in the new version.
Boom v1.4 New Features:
- Scroll gesture for adjusting Boom volume slider in Snow Leopard and Lion OS, like the default volume slider
- Frequency markings displayed on the Equalizer bands on mouse hover for accurate setting
- Quit option in the Boom window and status bar drop-down
- Secondary click option on Boom status bar icon
Defects Fixed:
- Delay in the initial audio playing
- Sudden volume drop issue
It's a free update for the existing Boom users and the new users could buy it for just $6.99 from the Mac App Store or from our Online Store. There's a 7 day free trial of Boom for you to play with it.
With version 1.2 of Boom volume booster, we added a feedback system within the app's User Interface. Since then, we have received thousands of comments from the Boom users. We have been digging through the tons of feedback and comments that were received in the past few weeks. More than 92% of you have told that Boom is the perfect volume booster or equalizer app for your Mac! And the rest 8% have showed the trouble areas, feedback and suggestions that we can improve the tool further. We are overwhelmed with your response! We thank each one of you for taking your time to show us your love for Boom.

Of course the repercussions of such an evil act will mostly be felt in the game's Versus Mode but we can't help but wonder which side Valve is on. Is it their aim to ruin survivor morale for the actual (and inevitable) zombie apocalypse? Perhaps Left 4 Dead was designed by zombies, for zombies, to test the human spirit and to see how resilient we really are. We don't know your little game Valve but we're watching you. Oh, and stop asking us to web cam you pictures of our skulls -- it's weird. Wait a minute...
- Fixed sv_search_key appearing in server browser
- Fixed issue where changing the sv_search_key did not update the master correctly
- Fixed master server issue with Linux fork mode that affected availability of Valve dedicated servers
- Tank melee attack can now hit multiple Survivors in one swing
- Missed from the previous list changes: Fixed acheivements to match stats. Past achievements not previously awarded will be shown in the game UI

Best Stage Production St. Louis 2005 - The Exonerated
HotCity Theatre got off to a blistering start last November with a compelling Readers Theater production of The Exonerated, a tidy piece of advocacy theater about inmates unjustly sentenced to death row. The script by Jessica Blank and Erik Jansen is clearly a polemic. But the production was a knockout: the moody sound design by Nathan Ruyle, lighting by Don Guy that lent stature to characters who sometimes were shortchanged by their own limited vocabularies. Ted Gregory's direction was impeccably seamless. And the cast -- including Lavonne Byers, Ron Himes, Steve Isom, Dennis Lebby, Robert A. Mitchell and William Whitaker -- personified the deep end of the St. Louis acting pool. HotCity (a fusion of HotHouse and City Theatre) could not have hoped for a more auspicious kickoff; audiences could not have hoped for a more breathtaking evening of theater.

The Democrats' favorite excuse in the waning days of the campaign was that foreign money was their undoing. Soon-to-be-ex-Speaker (yeah, wow) Nancy Pelosi said everything was going fine until the Chamber of Commerce or Karl Rove or a mystery woman from Hong Kong (oh, wait — that was their side) opened up their wallets. Yes, it was bunk. But little did we know how much bunk it was:
In two-thirds of the House seats that Republicans picked up Tuesday, Democratic candidates had more money behind them, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the Federal Election Commission. Overall, Democratic candidates in the 63 races that flipped to the GOP had $206.4 million behind them, a tally that includes candidate fundraising and spending by parties and interests. That compares with only $171.7 million for their GOP rivals.
The pattern appears to contradict widespread complaints from Democrats that they were being unfairly overrun by wealthy Republicans, many of whom donated money to conservative groups to spend on political races — unencumbered by the limits and public-disclosure requirements that constrain most political fundraising. The data show that even in many races in which Republicans had more outside help, they still had fewer resources than their Democratic opponents.
So it was in Senate races as well. Meg Whitman's personal fortune was of no use. Neither did it help Linda McMahon. Sharron Angle outraised Harry Reid and still lost.
It seems that, rather than money, a candidate's voting record, the economy, and the relative levels of enthusiasm of the parties' supporters is what mattered. ("Republicans were able to win despite being badly outspent in Democratic-leaning districts. Outside Philadelphia, Rep. Patrick J. Murphy (D), the Democratic Party and groups backing them had about three times as much as conservatives and the campaign of former congressman Mike Fitzpatrick.") Money is a convenient excuse, of course. But like blaming the voters' "misperceptions," it simply wasn't the cause of the Democrats' defeat. The voters knew exactly what they were doing, and no amount of money was going to convince them otherwise. And as for the self-financers, unless you are a solid candidate (Ron Johnson, for example), it's better not to fritter away the family fortune.

Huskies Notebook: Goldson OK to Play Following Concussion, Cramp Against USC
Dashon Goldson says he remembers little of what happened near the end of the USC game.
He doesn't remember breaking up a key pass on third down late in the fourth quarter and then being helped from the field. That's because the Washington senior defensive back suffered a concussion the play before that.
"Once I made contact I felt funny, my vision was kind of blurry," Goldson said. "Then it all came back a little bit. I was telling the sideline, I'm fine, I'm fine.' I don't remember coming back out. I saw (the play on tape) but I don't remember the defense that was called, I don't remember lining up."
Goldson was signaling to come out of the game, but nobody saw him and he continued to play. After breaking up the pass, Goldson was down on the field with his concussion as well as cramping in his calf.
The good news is that he says he is fine to play this week and an ankle sprain that has slowed him all season is feeling healthier, though not 100 percent.
"It's not back to where it should be, but it's to a point where I can tolerate playing a full game," Goldson said.
Goldson had his best game of the season against the Trojans, leading the team with 10 tackles and three passes broken up. He played around 60 plays, by far the most this season. Despite his lack of playing time, he has 20 tackles and leads the team with four passes broken up.
Howell Nominated for Courage Award
Junior linebacker Dan Howell has been nominated for the FedEx Orange Bowl-Football Writers Association of America Courage Award.
Howell's father Keith died earlier this season from complications following heart surgery. A week after missing a game to return California for the funeral, Howell returned an interception 33-yards for a touchdown to clinch the victory over UCLA. Howell has 16 tackles and leads the Huskies with three forced fumbles on the year.
Nominees for the award will be announced on a weekly basis, with the award winner being named at the end of the season. Other nominees thus far are Clemson's Ray Ray McElrathbey, Oklahoma State's Martel Van Zant and Indiana's Terry Hoeppner.

Willingham said Goldson and linebacker E.J. Savannah (thumb) worked well in practice while safety Jason Wells (concussion) did not participate in Tuesday's practice but would start to work his way back on the field throughout the week. Willingham would not say if Savannah or Wells would play this weekend. ... Seahawks assistant offensive line coach Keith Gilbertson, the former UW head coach, said he likes what he's seen from the Huskies. "I always root for those people and that staff," Gilbertson said. "Most of those guys I've worked with. I obviously coached most of those kids when they were young. It's good to see them mature and have some success. I'm happy for them."

50 feet range!
2 bullets shot at a time (it's a shotgun!)
Looks amazingly cool!
has a compartment in the stock where you can put extra bullets!
The gun breaks apart if you shake it hard and sharply
no pin guide
This gun can hold alot more bands than a gun with one pin, because this one has 2 firing pins sharing the same elastics.
This would be a good primary war gun, or a good gun if you just wanna shoot some targets!
Step 1: Real/ Fake barrel
1: What you'll make
3: Build the side panels
4: make the grip young padawan!
5: we gonna make this block
6: make all the stuff for the block
7: Put pieces on that tiny panel
8: add another layer!
9: mirror what you just did and add the rest
10: put together, don't get scared of the spider!
11: an ugly picture...... whatever. Add all those blue rods and the white rods.
12: Add that long piece!
13: get two of these and add them on either side
Finito! Good job padawan! Next step!
Step 2: Handle/ back barrel
1: Build all of this. (read image notes!)
2: Build the trigger and get those white rods
3: Add everything shown onto the panel with all of the blue rods.
4: Add the panel with the broken rod and the tan clips and white rods. Also, add the orange connector things too!
5: Add the last panel, the trigger, and that thing on the top. Get 1 more white rod and add them as shown.
