Dana White | Tito Ortiz and BJ Penn Belong in the UFC Hall of Fame | UFC NEWS
The next induction to the UFC hall of fame we will "likey" see two of the most prolific UFC champions. SB Nation reports a lunch gathering at The Palm restaurant, White said two fighters coming close to the end of the line, former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz and Multi-Weight Class champ BJ Penn belong in the Hall of Fame.
Tito Ortiz who held the light heavyweight title from 2000-03 Tito has had rivalries with two UFC Hall of Fame inductees and champions in their own right. First with Ken Shamrock, then with UFC poster boy Chuck Lidell. UFC President Dana White has also had problems with Tito and even went as far as challenging Tito to a televised boxing match which never happen.
"Despite my personal problems with Tito, he belongs in," said White. "He was the champion when we first bought this thing. The fact that Tito is still here, Tito and I have had our moments, but it doesn't change what he did for the company."

BJ Penn holds the distinction of being one of only a very few fighters who have never been submitted, never been knocked out and never been knocked down with more than 10 years history in the UFC. He once gave up 50 pounds in a fight against future UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida. Penn is one of just two fighters to win titles in multiple weight classes with the first being UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture.
"Definitely," White said when asked if Penn belongs in the Hall. "The thing about B.J. Penn is that what he brought to the lightweight division, there was a point in time when we first bought this company when people thought guys in the lighter weight divisions couldn't be stars and couldn't see pay-per-views and couldn't cross over. B.J. Penn was definitely that first crossover guy for us."

Da' PRODIGY BJ PENN "Hall Of Famer" without a doubt. In a true MMA fan's heart, not just on paper!! He is da" G.O.A.T!
Tito for Reviving a Dieing Company
and BJ for being the most Dominant Lightweight of his Time.
Yea, I agree with both of these. I think the mark of a True Warrior (re: sorry Andy Wang), are fighters willing to compete outside of their home weightclasses. Along with his unrivaled legacy cited above, BJ has been a shoe-in for HOF, and in my eyes one of the top 3 contenders for GOAT. Not just at LW… but ALL TIME.
Absolutely on both guys!!!
BJ and Tito belong for sure. Tito's a shithead but the hate also brings interest and Tito has been great at bringing interest to the UFC. BJ is simply serious talent and always has been. HOF ers for sure.
BJ? Hall of Fame for sure, he should get.
BJ and Tito are gimmes for the UFC HoF. I remember reading the article a week ago on this site talking about Brock Lesnar belonging in the HoF too, that's some BS! Brock had a very impressive run but he didn't pay his dues to the sport of MMA the way these two and the current HoF's have. Can't wait to see BJ enshrined into the UFC Hall of Fame where he belongs.
Hopefully it will be during the UFC Expo like they did for Hughes back in 2010. I would love to be there when BJ is inducted!!
The greatest of all time Mr. PENN! WAR BJ WAR!
penn was my hero. and he is still my hero. I really miss the day he fought inside the cage…
Can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT……..!?!?
As much as I dislike Tito, I can't deny his place in UFC history. And for BJ, IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Long-term kinematics and sediment flux of an active earthflow, Eel River, California
Mackey, B. H.; Roering, J. J.; McKean, J. A. 2009. Long-term kinematics and sediment flux of an active earthflow, Eel River, California. Geology. 37(9): 803-806.
Although earthflows are the dominant erosion mechanism in many mountainous landscapes, estimates of long-term earthflow-driven sediment flux remain elusive because landslide displacement data are typically limited to contemporary time periods. Combining high-resolution topography from airborne LiDAR (light detection and ranging), total station surveying, orthorectified historical aerial photographs, and inventories of meteoric 10Be in soil pits, we quantified ~150 years of slope movement on a 1.5-km-long earthflow in the Eel River catchment, northern California, United States. Using LiDAR-derived topography, we mapped the upper half of the earthflow into three distinct kinematic zones: an upslope source area, a long narrow transport zone, and a mid-slope compressional zone. From our air photo analysis (1944-2006), average velocities are fastest in the transport zone (1.7 m/a), slowest in the source zone (<1 m/a), and decrease monotonically over the past 30 years in all three zones. Meteoric 10Be inventories systematically increase with distance downslope of the source area, consistent with the notion that the elongate transport zone acts like a relatively undeformed soil conveyor that can be used to quantify long-term displacement. Because our 10Be-derived transport zone velocity of 2.1 m/a averages over the past 150 years, pre-1944 velocities likely approached 2.5 m/a, suggesting that twentieth century land-use practices have not increased rates of sliding. Although our results reveal a progressive decline in velocity that may reflect exhaustion of readily mobilized source material, velocities temporarily increased in the midtwentieth century due to major hydrologic events. Given an average velocity of 2 m/a, the Kekawaka earthflow is deflating its source area over 20 times faster than the regional erosion rate, emphasizing the localized and vigorous role of active earthflows in landscape evolution.

Join author David Gassner as he explores Java SE (Standard Edition), the language used to build mobile apps for Android devices, enterprise server applications, and more. This course demonstrates how to install both Java and the Eclipse IDE and dives into the particulars of programming. The course also explains the fundamentals of Java, from creating simple variables, assigning values, and declaring methods to working with strings, arrays, and subclasses; reading and writing to text files; and implementing object oriented programming concepts.
In our previous video, I described how to copy the contents of the text file to a new text file, using tools that are available from the Java class library. I'm working in a copy of that project now called ApacheFileUtils that's a part of the exercise files for this course. In this application, I had to create a whole bunch of different objects two file object representing the existing file and the target file, an input stream and an output stream, a byte array, an integer, and then I had to loop through and read the file one set of bytes at a time and write out the new file.
To all new Java developers, this seems a bit cumbersome and almost everybody asks the question isn't there an easier way. The reality of the Java class library is that it tends to give you tools in very small pieces, and it's up to you the developer to figure out how to plug those tools together to get your work done, but the good news is that the Java programming language has been around a long time and the Java developer community has done a great job figuring out what were the most common tasks that everybody needs to do and those tasks tend to be encapsulated and delivered in a project called the Apache Commons.
You can get to the Apache Commons website at http://commons.apache.org. This project contains fully tested reusable Java components that are completely free and licensed for use on either Open Source or commercial applications, most of the components in the Apache Commons can be used in any Java development environment including console applications like the ones I've been showing here, but also including Java Enterprise Edition applications that is web applications and Android mobile applications.
To get to the Commons project we need, go to the Commons Proper from the homepage, you'll see that there are a whole bunch of different projects you can work with and we're going to work with this collection IO. On the IO page, you can click into utility classes and then scroll down in the list of classes, and you'll see a class listed there called File Utils. This is the class, that I'll be working with. The first step to using the class is to download the Commons IO package, I'll go back a couple steps in my browser, back to the IO page and in the Commons IO menu on the left, you'll click the download link.
There are two binary versions of the download a tar.gz version and zipped version. The zipped version should work fine for either Windows or Mac. Now, I've already downloaded and extracted the file to my desktop, I'll open the extracted folder and drill down, until I see these files. The zip file contains three jar files, I don't need the Java docs and I don't need the source files, what I need are the binaries, they will have a file extension of dot jar and the name commons-io and the version number.
I'm using version 2.1 but any later version should work pretty much the same. Now, to use this file in your project copy it to the clipboard then go to the folder that contains your project, I'm using Windows so I'll use Windows Explorer and I'll go to the 11 files folder and from there to ApacheFileUtils, now you can place this file anywhere on your disk you want to, but most Java developers place existing libraries into a folder named Lib, L-I-B.
So I'll create a new folder and I'll name it Lib or Lib or L-I-B, I'll drill down into that folder and paste the jar file, then I'll switch back to Eclipse. I'll go to the Package Explorer and refresh the view and show that the Lib folder and the jar file are now there. Now here's how you incorporate the jar file into your application, you have to add the jar file to something called the build path. A new Java project always includes these jar files that are a part of the Java runtime environment system library something I sometimes refer to as the Java class library.
You're adding your own jar file to the build path and here is the easiest way to do it. Right click on the jar file, choose Build Path, Add to Build Path and now, all the classes that are in that jar file are available to your project. Now we're going to replace some of the existing code, I'll double-click the editor to expand it to full screen and then I'm going to select starting at the input stream declaration and ending at the close calls. You're still going to need to create references to your files, the source file and the target file, but all this other more complex code won't be needed anymore you can just delete it.
Next, I'll call a method of the file utils class that's a member of the Apache Commons Library that I added to my project's build path. The particular method I need is a class method or a static method. So I'm going to call it directly from the class library, it'll be FileUtils. and here is a whole list of everything you're able to do with the class library, including copying files, getting directory information, moving files, reading files, and writing files.
And I'm going to use a method called copy file. There are a few different versions of it, it's an overloaded method but I'm going to use this version that accept two file references. There are two required methods, the source and destination. I'll set the first to f1 and the second to f2 and that's it, that's all the code I need. I remove these TODO commons because I really don't need to do anything else, I'll save and run the application and I get the message file copied.
I'll go back to my Package Explorer and I'll Refresh and I see my new target file has been successfully created. Now the magic of the Apache Commons approach is that you eliminate a whole bunch of complexity from your application, you'll notice that my application is showing these warnings about all the import statements my file still has but I'm not using. These are all the classes that were required when I was using the Java class library approach, that is, I was limiting myself to using only the tools that are available in the JRE.
But when you expand your world to include the Apache Commons, life gets a whole lot easier, I'm going to organize my imports by choosing Source > Organize Imports, and now I see that the only classes I'm using are the File class and the Exception classes. The code within the Commons class still might throw those exceptions, so I still need to refer to them but everything else is greatly simplified. I strongly encourage you to take a look through the documentation for the Apache Commons Libraries, for example, in the IO page, there's a link for the Java doc for version 2.1 and the class that we are using FileUtils has a listing of all the methods that are available, but you'll also see that there are dozens and dozens of other classes available.
And this is just one of the projects in Apache Commons, using the Apache Commons project can make your coding much simpler and your process of learning Java and making it useful for your applications a lot faster.

1 tablespoon
lemon juice
2 tablespoons
thinly sliced green onion
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup
dry white wine
4 (6 ounce) fillets
1/4 pound
cooked salad shrimp
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
This was very easy to make. A nice way to use sole. The only change I made to the recipe was adding a bit of red pepper to the sauce. Very tasty.. will make again.
This would be a five star recipe if you use a different fish and don't use the drippings to make the sauce. If this recipe looks good to you but you don't like fishy tasting fish just make these small changes. Either make sure you are using DOVER SOLE (only sole that is not fishy!) or use Orange Roughy. Or just any white fish that is extremely mild. And to make the sauce double the lemon juice mixture and use half for cooking the fish and the other half for making the sauce. Then the sauce is excellent (on lots of things) and there is no fishy tasting anything!!!! You can also replace the shrimp for crab if you choose.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I am going make it again this weekend.
Simply amazing!!! This recipe is so easy to make, and tastes absolutely amazing! My partner is a frenchman, and very fussy about food, and he loves this dish...as do several friends we've had over for dinner! Tastes great just following the recipe, or you can adjust the wine or the lemon, or any of the ingredients for that matter, to suit your tastes. Fool proof and one worth adding to your recipe book!!! 5 Stars definitely!!
This recipe was a little hard to make. It did taste very good though. The only think that I dident like about it was the strong after taste, other than that, it was very yummy!
We liked this. I was in a hurry so did not make the sauce - but the fish still tasted great. I also made a change. Since I didn't have shrimp in the house, I made a filling out of canned salmon instead (1 can of salmon, 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt and pepper). We liked it!
Excellent: We had this recipe for dinner tonight . It was easy and took the same cooking time as boiling the new red potatoes. and DH said it was very good. Next time I would spicy up the sauce with a bit of hot sauce or peppers. Loved it. price wise - the sole cost 2.67 on sale and the shrimp cost 2.06. Pretty gourmet for $4.73 lees
This fish tasted good until I put the sauce over it..then it was too fishy. I wanted the sole because it had little fish flavor. I don't like fish much.

Catalytic Combustor Wood Stoves
However, when the gases pass through a catalytic combustor, the palladium metal
acts as a catalyst and causes the gases to burn at temperatures as low as 500°F. The
benefit of secondary combustion at lower temperatures means you can burn 10-15%
less wood to achieve the same heat output as a stove without secondary combustion.
Catalytic wood stoves are also known as EPA certified wood stoves and comply with
the particulate emission limit of 4.1 grams per hour initiated by the EPA in 1988.
In addition to reduced pollution, the secondary burn of a catalytic combustor reduces
particulate emissions (smoke) by as much as 90%. This also means 90% less
flammable creosote buildup and fewer chimney cleanings.
Catalytic Retrofit
If you want to retrofit an existing non-catalytic wood-burning appliance with a
catalytic combustor, you can buy a catalytic damper. These are available as kits and
are usually installed in the flue collar.
Several manufacturers sell retrofit kits, and they may be available from wood stove
retailers. Catalytic retrofits are not appropriate for all types of stoves.
Catalytic wood stoves
are clean
burning and rated 20-30% more
fuel efficient than a conventional
wood stove.
The catalytic combustor is a
honeycomb shaped, palladium
coated device that ignites the
gases emitted from burning
wood before they escape up the
The burning of these gases is
also known as secondary
combustion and accounts for the
increase in fuel efficiency.
The purpose of catalytic combustion is to maintain the
heating efficiency of a wood stove when the firebox
temperature drops below 1,000°F.
At 1,000° or more, the gases from burning wood in any
type of stove are re-ignited naturally. But as the fire
dies down, less and less of the gases are burned and a
portion of the wood's heat value is lost.

Useful information on Hannah O'Connor
* Attended Llanview University with Cole Thornhart and Markko Rivera.
Past: Prisoner at Statesville
Past: Student at Llanview University
Hannah appeared at Capricorn for the Snoop Dogg concert, where it was revealed that she attended classes at Llanview University with Cole and Markko. When she arrived at Cole's apartment, she found out that he lived with his girlfriend Starr and had a daughter Hope. Hannah revealed to Cole that a guy from her past broke her heart.
Cole later found Hannah had overdosed on pills but managed to get her to throw them up. Hannah asked Cole to keep it between them, and Cole promised he wouldn't tell anyone.
Hannah continued to manipulate Cole and even kidnapped Starr and Hope after it came about that she knew Eli had pushed Marty down the stairs. Though Marty took Hannah in, once the truth was revealed, Hannah was taken away and arrested.
There are no additional images yet
Blair arrives at the mansion just as Cole is shot. Starr rushes to Cole, as James holds a gun on Hannah. Blair wonders what's going on, but Todd insists they get the car. Hannah screams her regret to Cole. She only wanted to hurt Starr! Starr slugs Hannah in the face. James, Blair and Starr take Cole to the hospital, while Todd stands behind and tells Hannah, "Maybe I'll kill you." He admits it wouldn't be the first time he killed someone. Hannah heard about Todd killing his mother, who shot Todd first. That doesn't count. Todd uses Hannah as a sounding board. She's bananas, no one would believe Hannah if he told her… Todd remembers killing Victor. Just as Todd's ready to confess, the cops arrive for Hannah. She calls Todd a murderer, but the cops take her away. Todd smirks.
James pleads with Sam at the mansion. Is Starr's secret about Cole? After James warns Starr could go to jail for hiding Cole, Sam replies, "Check the cabana." After James rushes off, Sam takes his toys to the TV and sees a report that Hannah escaped. "Hey kid," Hannah says, appearing by Sam's side. "Can I play?" Sam knows she's the girl who hurt Starr and screams. Hannah covers Sam's mouth and warns him to shut up. Sam refuses to tell Hannah where Starr is and bites her finger. As Hannah grabs Sam, Todd appears and orders her to put Sam down. Hannah pulls a gun on Todd. If he doesn't give her Cole and Starr, Hannah will fill Sam with bullet holes. In the cabana, Starr breaks from Cole's kiss and wonders what he's doing. "The same thing you are," Cole replies. "Kissing the person I love." Starr kisses him again. Cole doesn't care that Starr's with James and insists she still loves him. James appears and lashes out at Cole for putting Starr in this position. Starr admits she hid Cole because she wanted to. James wonders if Cole's right. Does Starr love Cole no matter who she's with? Starr's helping Cole for Hope. Cole's her father! Cole thinks James is right. He doesn't want Starr to end up in jail and hugs her goodbye. Cole wants to see Hope before he leaves. Starr, Cole and James head into the mansion and find Hannah with Sam and Todd. Cole pretends to be happy to see Hannah and claims she's the one he wants. He begs Hannah to runaway with him. Hannah puts Sam down. Sam kicks her. Todd rushes toward Sam, as Hannah raises her gun. A shot is fired.

yes, i got up at 7am, went online and emailed mr moyles
i asked could he play some 808 state as today is 08/08/08 and maybe even 08:08am would be great!
he used to do a little thing months ago asking his mate whats the time, and when his mate replied its 808, they would play a clip of pacific!
so when i tuned in today, at 8am, they played a bit of pacific and asks viewers what the significance of the tune being played with todays date!
soon after, he asks his mate what the time is, he replies its 8.37 and 30 odd seconds, so chris then says about playing 808 state when the time reaches 08:08 and 08 seconds - which they then do!
he asks what the time and date is and they all reply its 080808080808
can anyone go to radio one's website and find the clip
played 808 all day at work (i-pod and speakers), and just played pacific tonight at 8.08pm!

Drummers like Phil sometimes get overlooked or are under appreciated because they don't blow you away with stupendous Chambers-like chops. For whatever it's worth Mr. Rudd has my respect and I appreciate his contributions to AC/DC and drumming.
You know I'm with you on some of that, RS is irrelevant and irreverent and they tick me off too. They bashed Zepplin when they first came out and AC/DC too, and their music reviewers are always touting some hot new act that I could care the less for. And don't even get me started on their politics......
BUT, RS does keep up on some of the latest movers and shakers, has good gossip and photos, and keeps track of the Top 100. And I doubt any drummer in the world wouldn't be thrilled if they saw their puss on a Rolling Stone cover.

A Nixonian moment in church scandal
Child sex abuse by Catholic priests was bad enough, but the apparent attempt to cover it up is worse, writes Katha Pollitt for The Nation. Like anyone else caught for such a crime, priests should have lost their moral authority, but the church tried to preserve it. [Read More]
Catholic church can only blame itself
In the wake of nearly two decades of sex abuse scandals, the Catholic church clearly has not learned how to deal with such problems in the modern world, says Bonnie Erbe in US News. And the blame lies squarely on the abusive priests and the leaders who conspired to protect them, Erbe says. [Read More]

Recipe by ROZKRUGER
"This is a wonderful, easy to make warm potato salad we regularly serve at barbecues. We have yet to meet someone who doesn't enjoy it. You can use either Cheddar or mozzarella cheese in this recipe."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

onions, finely chopped

shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste
I'm not a fan of mayonaise so I've never liked traditional potato salad. While planning a BBQ I decided to search for a mayonaise-free potato salad and came upon this. It worked out wonderfully for out gathering. A real hit, leaving some disappointed when there was none left! Instead of slicing the potatoes I cubed them, which required a little longer baking time, but I was glad I did cube them.
Tastes pretty good but it's a heart attack in a bowl... The recipe doesn't even say to drain the bacon grease! (but I did). And it takes longer to cook than the 35 minutes indicated (like at least 20 more minutes at 350F).

My very picky, and German, husband loved it! He said "this is a keeper", great praise from the man! It's more like a baked german potato salad/au gratin potatoes than a regular potato salad, but that's good! It was fine the way it was (I followd the original recipe to a "T"), but next time I'm going to add more cheese (on the first layers) and more salt and pepper. Great Recipe!
Yum! I made a slightly larger batch of this which filled a 9 x 13 dish. What little bit is left I'm having for lunch! I made a few adjustments, but didn't stray too far from the recipe. I added a little chopped celery first, then, since I couldn't find any heavy cream at the store, I substituted 1 half pint of whipping cream, and then split amount of milk in half and used sour cream to make up the other half. And added extra cheddar cheese. Not so much like a potato salad as a potato cassarole...but very yummy anyway.
This dish has a lot of flavor. I would serve it to anyone, anytime. Very good!
This was really good! I used bacon bits instead of having to fry up the bacon and it worked just fine. I also added some seasoning salt over the potatoes to give it a boost. I don't think this tasted anything like potato salad ~ but it did taste just like a really awesome potato skin! Yum! Thanks, Ros! :o)
Yummy! This dish was rich and delicious. I added French onion soup mix to the milk and cream, which made it extra tasty.
turned out great!, perfect!...

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — FOX6 News has learned five Marquette University students were hospitalized over the weekend for allegedly ingesting an illegal narcotic.
"McCormick's a freshman dorm, so you know, these kids – hopefully – would know what they're getting into but you never know. I'll bet you the parents are the most concerned," one MU student told FOX6 News.
On Wednesday, January 22nd, the Marquette University community learned more about the incident that occurred over the weekend.
"You think it's gonna be like, okay — they experiment and then they're done — but you never expect that they have to learn the lesson this way," another MU student told FOX6 News.
University administrators declined an interview request and have not named the alleged illegal narcotic involved in this case, but issued a statement which reads, in part:
"Marquette's Department of Public Safety responded to a medical incident Sunday night (January 19th) at McCormick Hall, and after an officer arrived, they discovered that five students ingested an alleged illegal narcotic. Due to medical concerns and the safety of the students involved, all were taken to Sinai Samaritan Hospital for treatment and evaluation. One female student was also taken into custody by MPD for allegedly distributing narcotics."
"It happens more frequently than you would think. It was just that these five were so severe that they had to go to the hospital," Patricia Gutierrez, an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services Director with IMPACT said.
Gutierrez says drug use is increasing on college campuses, so parents and others should be aware.
"If they start sounding differently. If they're like, with a different group of friends — 'hey, who are your friends?' If they're running with a different pack of kids, you know, they're just more silent 'oh yeah, everything's fine' — they don't wanna talk the way they used to — something is up. You need to check into it," Gutierrez said.
If you're concerned someone may be abusing drugs and/or alcohol, you're encouraged to contact the folks at Impact.

The Game Goes On
President Asif Ali Zardari gave his second address to parliament today. Again, it was in English, so a majority of Pakistanis had no idea what he was saying. Not a great idea since Zardari faces a credibility gap with most Pakistanis, many of whom see him as an American puppet.
Vis-a-vis the Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), Zardari made one concession and left many issues up for negotiation. Zardari is weakened, but will use the remaining leverage he has over the PML-N to ensure that he has an advantage over his chief rival.
Zardari pledged today that the Peoples Party (PPP) will join a PML(N)-led government in Punjab. It is positive that Zardari has faced reality, instead of fighting it and, as a result, destabilizing the entire system. After three months of courtship, the Chaudhries and Zardari failed tie the knot. This is a result of the internal divisions of the Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) and the growing strength of the PML-N in Punjab.
Zardari also added that governor's rule over Punjab will be lifted, but did not specify the date. He vaguely reiterated a pledge to give up his power to dissolve parliament (known by the section of the constitution in which it's addressed: Article 58(2)b. The issue will now go into the hands of a parliamentary committee, where there is plenty of opportunity for dilly-dallying. The committee will "propose amendments in the constitution in the light of Charter of Democracy."
Keep in mind that the Charter of Democracy doesn't just call for the end of Article 58(2)b. It also calls for giving the prime minister the power to appoint military service chiefs. This becomes key when Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Kayani faces retirement at next year. Will Zardari give up that authority to Prime Minister Gilani? Not likely.
If Zardari consents to a neutered presidency, the rumor in Islamabad is that he will seek the office of prime minister. Constitutionally, an ex-president cannot seek elected office till two years after he leaves the presidency. Obviously, he cannot run for a National Assembly seat while serving as president. So Zardari would need a constitutional amendment to play this trick. He has a some leverage to negotiate an exchange with the Sharifs and other parties.
But once in the National Assembly, Zardari will be trapped. The National Assembly will become the ultimate dueling center — especially if former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is declared eligible for elections and runs for an NA seat (e.g. NA-52). Prime Minister Zardari would not have the same constitutional protection of President Zardari. A president can only be impeached or forced to resign; a prime minister can be removed by a vote of no confidence or (at the moment) be dismissed when the assemblies are dissolved. Zardari will not fare well if a situation in which he's prime minister and Nawaz is opposition leader. Imagine Zardari having to face question time. The PPP co-chairman will have no place to hide and will be mauled by the so-called "Lion of Punjab."
END NOTE: If there's one issue I believe Zardari can deliver on, it's Balochistan. He has an opportunity to quell the insurgency and meaningfully address Baloch grievences. There has been some progress, but — as the Solecki kidnapping demonstrates — Baloch youth are increasingly becoming radical (secularly). But Zardari has the respect of many Baloch leaders as he is an ethnic Baloch and a civilian politician. Furthermore, the PML-N seems like it will be a willing partner to address some core Baloch concerns such as provincial autonomy, the concurrent list, and army operations in the province.

Alderwoman Phyllis Young, the Historic Soulard Market Merchant's Association and a handful of neighborhood residents say the annual festival, entering its sixth year, has outgrown its location in Soulard Park, next to the market, and that drunken revelers wreak havoc on homes in the surrounding area.
"People in Soulard have never shown that they mind a party," Young says. "But they do mind a party that's not respectful of the neighborhood. The Oktoberfest people say they don't want to grow, they want it to be a neighborhood thing, but revenue and crowds show they are growing and the neighborhood says, 'We don't want another Mardi Gras.'"
"People get drunk at Mardi Gras, but I've never seen people drunk like they are at Oktoberfest," adds Young, whose ward includes parts of Soulard, downtown and Lafayette Square. "They stand there urinating on a house and pulling flowers out of a flower box. They're falling, drunk on the curbs."
Organizers of the festival, held the first weekend of October to celebrate German culture and beer, say they have widespread community support.
"If the neighborhood doesn't want us, then we're glad to go. But so far, the very opposite is true," says John McKinstry, the festival's founder. McKinstry says he's gathered more than 500 signatures from Soulard residents in favor of keeping the festival in its current location.
Young says other problems created by the festival include taking up parking spots intended for market customers, blocking traffic on Lafayette Avenue (several blocks of which are shut down for the festival) and damaging city sidewalks by hammering tent stakes into the pavement.
Young adds that if the festival organizers can't address these problems, she'll ask them to move this year's party downtown, between North Tucker Boulevard and North 14th Street, and Market and Pine streets.
Victor Wendl, president of the Soulard Oktoberfest Benevolent Association, the nonprofit organization that runs the festival, says he's aware of Young's concerns and has taken steps to address them.
"If we didn't have the support of the community, we'd be gone," Wendl says. "But the evidence shows we have that support."

Dom DeLuise, 1933-2009, Not From St. Louis
The world mourns the death of comedian Dom DeLuise, who passed away after a long illness.
Unreal mourns DeLuise, too — as we have mourned all of those who costarred with him in Blazing Saddles and preceded him in death. Unreal is by no means a cineaste — heck, we'd sooner bowl than watch a movie (any movie) — but Blazing Saddles, a work of movie-making genius, occupies a special place in our heart. Here's the thing you might be asking yourself, though: Dom DeLuise is not from St. Louis. Dom DeLuise has nada to do with St. Louis. Blazing Saddles has nothing to do with St. Louis, either. So why is Unreal hogging prominent RFT website real estate while having a good cry over the man's portly corpse?
Unreal knew the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was "partnering" with an outfit called Legacy.com to provide online obits. But we'd previously assumed the clientele was limited to the local citizenry. You know, a web-based version of the paid obituaries you see in most (if not all) print dailies.
We never knew until today that whilst perusing the Associated Press obituaries of celebrities and other luminaries from around the globe we could, with a mere click of the ol' Logitech, post our own tribute in a virtual "guestbook" alongside similar heartfelt expressions of sympathy from folks all over! How frickin' cool is that? When we get finished waxing rhapsodic over Dom DeLuise, we're gonna buzz on over to Bea Arthur's guestbook and Jack Kemp's. By then we'll be all cried out.
Ballpark Figures: Just How Big a Cash Cow Is the All-Star Game?
Hard to believe, but once upon a time in America, the All-Star Game was a one-day affair. There was no State Farm-sponsored Home Run Derby, no Gatorade All-Star Workout Day, no FanFest, live concerts or celebrity softball games, where ex-Hall-of-Famers flail around the old ball yard with has-been actors.
Best of all, fans didn't vote, the manager of each team didn't give a rat's petunia about getting everyone into the game, and the damn thing was played on Tuesday, in the afternoon, no less. I am not making this up.
For years now the Midsummer Classic has gone deeper and deeper into extra innings, with no end in sight. In fact, Major League Baseball has now come to refer to it as All-Star Week. Can All-Star Month be far behind?
Of course, from a purely economic perspective, stretching out the All-Star festivities is right up there with a walk-off grand slam.
"This is a pretty unique event, what with six days of activities," says Richard Fleming, president and CEO of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association (RCGA). Fleming estimates that the July 14 game at Busch Stadium, and all the ancillary activities surrounding it, will bring some $60 million into the bistate region.

Winter weather plows through region
A winter weather pattern that arrived last night is expected to bring sleet, snow and freezing temperatures to Roswell into the weekend.
"It's going to be pretty chilly," said Chris Luckett, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.

The NRA Connection
The original reason for the founding of the National Rifle Association in 1871 also highlights this military-civilian connection. William Conant Church and Gen. George Wood Wingate first chartered the NRA in the state of New York on Nov. 17, 1871, because they recognized a need to train citizens to shoot. Poor marksmanship exhibited by the Union Army in the American Civil War made it clear that many Americans didn't know how to shoot. As the Founders often expressed, Church and Wingate felt our nation's very independence depended upon having an armed and skilled citizenry.
Gen. Ambrose Burnside, the NRA's first president, also noticed.
"Out of ten soldiers who are perfect in drill and the manual of arms, only one knows the purpose of the sights on his gun or can hit the broad side of a barn," Burnside said.
The NRA soon constructed a modern rifle range at Creedmoor, Long Island, and the NRA's shooting programs for civilians and the military quickly began to grow and to produce quality marksmen. For example, after winning the British Empire championship at Wimbledon, London, in 1874, the Irish Rifle Team issued a challenge through the New York Herald to riflemen in the U.S. In response, the NRA organized a team through an amateur rifle club.
Remington Arms and Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Co. produced breech-loading rifles for the team. At the time, muzzleloading rifles were thought to be more accurate. This changed after the American riflemen won the match with breech-loading rifles.
At the same time, with links to private manufacturers, the Springfield Armory developed and produced the Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle in 1873 (watch the 1952 film "Springfield Rifle" starring Gary Cooper to see what a big deal it was). These rifles were used by the military, by citizens in the West and by shooters in national matches, international championships and the Olympics.
For the rest of the 19th and into the 20th century, NRA competitions and training kept producing good marksmen. This continually resulted in innovations in firearms for both private citizens and the U.S. military.
Woolsey says: "Though the Krag-Jorgensen rifle was favored in competitions until 1907, the newer Springfield Model 1903 was used in 1908 competitions. These service rifles, sometimes slightly modified, were tested against a diverse selection of rifles in national and world matches. The 1908 American victory at the Bisley International Match, for example, was achieved thanks to the accuracy of the then-$16 Springfield rifle, Model 1903."
Through the 20th century to today, research-and-development efforts on the part of firearm manufacturers continued to simultaneously serve the military and U.S. citizens. Today Beretta, Remington, Colt and many more have defense and commercial divisions. Many of these companies produce guns for civilians and the armed forces from the same CNC machines.
What Soldiers Say About Gun Freedom
Greg Stube, a former Special Forces sergeant who fought in Afghanistan, has a strong opinion on whether civilian gun ownership helps prepare citizen soldiers.
"In my experience, a lot of training time in the Special Forces is used to teach those who don't have gun experience," Stube said. "To put it plainly, the Special Forces are in the business of creating country boys."
In 2006, Stube was badly wounded at the battle of Sperwan Ghar, a part of what the coalition forces in Afghanistan called "Operation Medusa." An estimated 2,000 Taliban fighters had gathered to retake Kandahar and Special Forces teams, Canadian soldiers and Afghan fighters mobilized to stop them.
During an attempt to rescue a wounded Afghan soldier, Stube's truck was blown apart by an improvised explosive device (IED). The bomb had detonated under the truck's right front wheel, setting the gas tank afire and blowing the driver, Mishra, through the door. Stube was trapped in the turret feeling his legs burn off. Bullets slammed into the vehicle and ricocheted off rocks as Staff Sergeant Jude Voss pulled Stube out. Mishra, the driver of the truck, was dazed but somehow wasn't seriously injured.
As Voss dragged Stube to a ditch, Stube remembers feeling something peppering his face. He began swatting at the annoyance as if gnats were biting him. Then, as the shock wore off, he realized sand was being blown into his face from machine gun bullets landing all around him.
When asked if Stube would make it, Voss shook his head and frowned. Nevertheless, Stube wasn't ready to die. As he tried desperately not to choke on his own blood, he talked Voss through the first aid: "This is leaking," Stube managed. "Here, check this."
Somehow, perhaps in part because of his unbelievable composure, Stube was still alive when Special Forces medics arrived.
"I shouldn't have lived," Stube said as we talked at a Washington, D.C., pub after he'd spent a year in Walter Reed Army Medical Center."My wounds were too severe."
Stube has since retired from the U.S. Army. He now works for Nightforce Optics. He has told his story to audiences at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits. He still goes on a lot of national television and radio shows to talk about the military and freedom in America. He's a passionate and charismatic spokesman for freedom.
"I've toured the Smith & Wesson plant in Springfield, Mass. I saw firearms headed for law enforcement and for the civilian market coming off the same lines," Stube said. "This is how America has always worked. It's how it should and must work.
"I saw again and again in training and on the battlefield that soldiers who grew up hunting and shooting recreationally are better soldiers. As I said, the Special Forces is in the business of creating country boys. If our free citizens are barred from using firearms similar to those used by the military, then we won't be as prepared as a nation.
"Also, my experience in war taught me," Stube added, "that law-abiding people shouldn't be put in a position where they're potentially less armed than those who might prey on them."
Stube believes we need people like Sgt. Alvin York in our military. York was the most decorated American soldier in World War I. He was born in a Tennessee cabin and grew up hunting. During a battle, York and seven other men captured 132 German prisoners. (The 1941 flick "Sergeant York" with Gary Cooper tells the story well).
Steve Adelmann, a retired Special Operations Forces operator and owner of Citizen Arms, agrees with Stube.
"America's firearm culture helps the military and law enforcement," Adelmann said. "When I trained new snipers for my team, I always found the best shooters had been raised with a gun in hand. In fact, drill sergeants and other instructors spend much of their limited range time trying to get young men and women with little or no gun experience up to par with troops that grew up hunting or target shooting. In particular, people who come from urban areas use a disproportionate amount of training time just learning to sight in their rifles and hit targets at close range.
"I've also seen a difference in the abilities of other armed forces," Adelmann added. "I've trained with and fought alongside allied soldiers from many nations. Soldiers from firearm-friendly places like Israel and Scandinavian countries acquit themselves very well with a wide variety of arms. Conversely, soldiers from nations with severe gun restrictions like England and Australia are far less familiar with firearms and generally don't have the same comfort level as Americans. They're very good with the weapons they are issued, but the battlefield requires enough flexibility to adapt quickly to a wide variety of firearm types."
Adelmann now builds custom AR-15s for private citizens. And he asks customers what they intend to do with their rifles.
"Ninety percent of them list hunting and home defense as their first two reasons for ownership. ARs are supremely accurate hunting rifles and utilitarian home-defense firearms," he said. "If they're banned, we'll lose an effective tool for the citizen, while military and law enforcement entities will suffer down the road. Also, many advances in firearm technology come from the civilian market, especially competition shooting. If manufacturers can no longer sell ARs to citizens, much of that innovation will grind to a halt."
To add an exclamation point to the experiences and views articulated by Stube and Adelmann, consider a letter recently written by retired Army Special Forces MSG Jeff Hinton and signed by 1,100 Special Forces operators.
"Like you," Hinton wrote, "we have been stunned, horrified and angered by the tragedies of Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, Fort Hood, and Sandy Hook; and like you, we are searching for solutions to the problem of gun-related crimes in our society… . First, we need to set the record straight on a few things. The current debate is over so-called 'assault weapons' and high-capacity magazines. The terms 'assault weapon' and 'assault rifle' are often confused. According to Bruce H. Kobayashi and Joseph E. Olson, writing in the Stanford Law and Policy Review, 'Prior to 1989, the term "assault weapon" did not exist in the lexicon of firearms. It is a political term developed by anti-gun publicists to expand the category of assault rifles. The M4A1 carbine is a U.S. military service rifle—it is an assault rifle. The AR-15 is not an assault rifle.' "
Hinton is right. "AR" does not stand for "assault rifle." It stands for the first two letters of the original manufacturer's name: ArmaLite Corporation. Today's ARs are designed to look like the military's M4A1 carbine, but AR-15s can't be configured to be fully automatic. The truth is assault rifles, according to the real definition of this term, are already banned or heavily restricted.
Also, outlawing modern semi-auto rifles would ban a class of firearm that is "in common use" —which is the test the U.S. Supreme Court used in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) to explain why the Second Amendment protects certain firearms. In fact, the earlier case of United States v. Miller (1939) suggested that a gun could be protected under the Second Amendment if it was "ordinary military equipment" that could "contribute to the common defense."
So anti-gun politicians who are fond of saying "weapons of war have no place in civilian hands" are either unaware of American history or are dishonest. A gun market that serves both private citizens and our armed forces has long helped fuel innovation and defend freedom in American homes and on battlefields.
This is a link anti-gun politicians want to sever. If they succeed, such bans won't only harm civilians and our Second Amendment, but will also lead to less firearm innovation and a less-prepared military in the future.

Crews carry sacks of pinto beans out of an overturned 18-wheeler along southbound lanes of Interstate 37 just south of Interstate 10 on Friday, Oct. 12, 2012.
Sacks of pinto beans were scattered alongside Interstate 37 this morning after a tractor trailer blew a tire and rolled over, prompting officials to shut down access to the freeway's southbound lanes from Interstate 10.
The wreck occurred about 2 a.m. just past the ramp from I-10. The big rig went rolling onto a grassy area off the freeway and came to rest on its side. The driver was unhurt.
Crews were at the scene for hours carrying sacks of beans from the big rig onto a trailer so the 18-wheeler could be propped up and towed away, police at the scene said.

1- no return time limit means more flexible than a FP. I can use it at lesiure if doing other things... including..
2 -no return time limit means I can stack multiple DAS cards and still use the times efficiently
#2 works by having multiple people with DAS cards in the same group. You can stack as many rides as you have DAS cards in your group. Then you bypass the 'can only have one time' limit by using a second card.. and have no risk of having your first card's return time invalidated by being late. Do this, and you can move from attraction to attraction with little to no wait inbetween. The only 'cost'... have more than one person with a DAS in your party. The DAS holders ride as 'guests' on the other DAS card return times.


text: For today's chart we've chosen to take a look at AIG because it is quickly approaching the neckline of a well-formed head and shoulders pattern. As you know, this technical chart pattern is often used by traders to predict a major shift in the direction of the current trend, and it is generally deemed to be very reliable. Once the bears push the price below the neckline, we'd expect to see AIG start to drift toward the support of the 200 DMA (currently near $63).

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2000 Military members and DoD civilians within the United States and its territories are now eligible for mass-transit subsidy benefits.
Deputy Defense Secretary Rudy de Leon directed Oct. 13 that DoD installations and activities establish mass transit incentive programs for DoD personnel in the 50 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Diane Disney, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy, said commuting headaches have become a major concern in many urban areas across the United States. Consequently, she said, federal, state, and local officials are seeking ways, such as mass- transportation subsidies, to reduce gridlock.
Use of commuter mass-transit subsidies helps to "reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, reduce wear and tear on the roadways, and relieve commuters' stress," Disney said. The expanded DoD mass-transit program is not available overseas, she noted, since the U.S. Clean Air Act does not cover those areas.
On April 21, President Bill Clinton directed all federal agencies to establish transportation fringe benefit programs in order to reduce federal employees' contribution to traffic congestion and air pollution, and to expand commuting alternatives.
In support of the Executive Order, DoD worked with the Department of Transportation, and on Oct. 1 established a mass transit benefit program for employees in the National Capital Region who use conveyances such as buses, trains, and van pools.
"Under the Executive Order, there were differences between what was to be provided inside the National Capital Region, and what was to be provided outside of it," Disney said. Inside the region, she said, the Executive Order prescribed a subsidy of up to $65 a month, indexed for the future. Outside the National Capital Region, she added, there was not a direct subsidy, but a tax-sheltering benefit, where people would be able to pay for their transportation costs with pre-tax dollars.
Through de Leon's directive, all DoD agencies may now offer their employees the direct subsidy in amounts that do not exceed personal commuting costs, up to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code (currently $65/month; $100/month and indexed beginning January 2002). Parking costs are not included in the program.
The actual costs of DoD's mass transit incentive program are borne by the agencies involved, and vary according to the number of people choosing to participate, Disney said. Non-appropriated fund government employees and reserve component members on active duty are also eligible to participate in the program.
DoD's mass-transit program also supports a provision within the National Defense Authorization Act, signed by the President Oct. 30, that requires mass transportation incentives for those areas affected by the Clean Air Act, Disney said. The Clean Air Act affects all 50 states and territories, but not U.S. installations overseas.
Gridlock, whether caused by too many cars on insufficient roadways or construction snarls, "is a very costly phenomenon," Disney said.
"Not just in the cost of work time lost," she said, "but also in the dislocation of people who have to go around the construction" and other traffic tie-ups.

You and the famous AU6..nothing like a couple of DA's to get the party rolling.
I'm not going to look it up for you so maybe you and AU6 can get your grandchildren to do it. Look up NCAA investigations. Then look at the leaders in Major violations. Auburn leads the SEC and is 3rd Nationally IN CHEATING. you guys are not really good at it either. They catch you a lot.
Talk is cheap but going to auburn is not. Beware the tapes!!! After this AU might be 2nd in cheating.
Why dont u and AU 6 find another hobby. It's obvious neither one of you know what you are talking about here. Roll the Eagle now...ya hear?????????
u have no idea what u are taliking about. His (Sims)arm is stronger and he can make any throw. This is a solid kid with a lot of confidence. AJ is in for a battle. Good luck to both.
Well I would like to say:
In a list of all time major infractions, defined as those in which the school has been penalized by the NCAA for rules violations, auburn ranks 3rd, and second among football programs. SMU is number one (more good christians!), so you could arguably say that auburn is the most penalized 'major' football program. Auburn has 7 major violations in its history, Arizona State has 8 (but they were mostly baseball related) and SMU also has 8.
It is a major slap in the face and a loss of prestige for Auburn University's Board of Trustees. Tuesday, the group that Southern Association of Colleges and Schools(SACS), which certifies southern universities for academics and administration put the school on probation. The agency regularly checks schools and colleges and awards accreditation to institutions that earn its seal of approval.
The problems listed by the report include institutional commitment and responsibility in the accreditation process; conditions of eligibility; administrative oversight and financial control in the athletics department; and alumni affairs.
Auburn leads the SEC in major football violations and is 3rd in the nation...Next!
they didnt take but one.. that would be computer..and no it is not back...the investigation continues...you really should have it by now...people keep saying and you keep denying...
Strange madman: because if you look up the leader for major football violations Auburn leads the SEC and is 3rd in the nation. Looks like the NCAA missed again.
Dont worry Ghost: Killa is a loose cannon and does not believe the 13. let him rant and rave about his walking into the fire routine. Au leads the SEC and is 3rd in the nation in ncaa leader in major football infractions.
yea, and a cerebral violator is someone like you.
let's check out your education, stupid. Look up ncaa leader in major football infractions.
ncaa leader in major football infractions,,,look it up!
it is obvious u dont know a thing about what the NCAA is doing...but thanks for plaing/
WELL, here is truth: that's a lie:
AU leads the SEC in cheating and is 3rd in the nation. Link you say! NCAA.com/ investigations/leaders
in penalties
Show me the statement they made about Bama.
Well I guess everyone is capable of making up their mind about the trees, updyke, and Jesus Christ.
Personally, i donated money to the fund. I felt that it was a good thing to do. It doesn't matter if the trees die or how much money AU has...But it is just my opinion. Roll Tide!
hahahahahaha yea u really need to worry about those two aubie....
AU leads the SEC in violatios and is 3rd in the nation for cheating....When McGlover is done u might be second...I'd shut up idf I were you idot.
x2 what meltdown man...36-5 last 3 years...out recruited you this year...Two players left your team and chose Bama..McGlover is about to tell his story on ESPN to the nation..See SportsbyBrooks....looks like the meltdown is your own team...It will be fun to watch..So you are either stupid or a trouble maker..I Think stupid.
Hey be careful thar woman..Deputy Dog is a national hero. I loved the laugh!
Well, you know what happens when the news keeps talking about gasoline prices going up....They do! Now they are writing that someone is going to end up dead over our rivalry....This junk is rediculous....It has just been carried too far..I hope the trees make it...and Bama folks keep giving money to the cause....Roll Tide and War Eagle.
you have been around Bot to long Girly...you never use the D word...usually DAM!! heheh
What have we got now AU6? The unions paid 12.00 an hour to sweep the floor in a steel mill. That was certainly a good living in 1968> Because of that they are gone..Where? Will they be back! NOt even on a good day my man. Unions served their purpose...They helped a lot of people..then saw the money and ran toward it...Can't blame them, but they destroyed America!
