via the Guardian) "Chemical containers in the Libyan desert. There are concerns unguarded weapons could fall into the hands of Islamist militants. Photograph: David Sperry/AP" As increasing evidence reveals Libyan fighters and weapons are pouring into Syria, it seems the West is preparing to preempt the inevitability that Libya's chemical arsenal has also found its way into the besieged nation.
Despite attempts to portray Damascus and Aleppo as on the inevitable edge of collapse, now for a full 6 months, both cities are still firmly in the hands of government troops, with only symbolic terror attacks murdering scores of civilians at a time and temporary advances made on isolated bases before promptly being abandoned by NATO-backed terrorists - a pattern not unlike that facing Western forces in NATO-occupied Afghanistan.
The accusations were printed in the Washington Post article, "Obama warns Syria amid rising concern over chemical weapons," but despite the insinuations, includes the disclaimer (emphasis added), "Syria is thought to have several hundred surface-to-surface ballistic missiles capable of carrying chemical warheads."
Other nations "thought to have" weapons of mass destruction included Iraq, which in hindsight, after a 10 year war and occupation, following years of crippling sanctions leaving millions dead, turned out not to in fact have such weapons.
It is unlikely that the Syrian government would use such weapons, thus giving the West the excuse it would need to directly intervene militarily, a scenario the West has been attempting to sell for the last 2 years, and particularly so following NATO's military operations in Libya throughout 2011.
Conversely, NATO's proxy forces operating in Syria possess both the means and motivation to carry out chemical attacks, therefore blaming Syria's government and granting the West the impetus needed to intervene more directly.
NATO-backed Terrorists have the Means.
In addition to small arms, heavier weapons are also making their way through this extensive network. The Washington Post in their article, "Libyan missiles on the loose," reported:
Two former CIA counterterrorism officers told me last week that technicians recently refurbished 800 of these man-portable air-defense systems (known as MANPADS) — some for an African jihadist group called Boko Haram that is often seen as an ally of al-Qaeda — for possible use against commercial jets flying into Niger, Chad and perhaps Nigeria.While undoubtedly these weapons are also headed to Niger, Chad, and perhaps Nigeria, they are veritably headed to Syria. Libyan LIFG terrorists are confirmed to be flooding into Syria from Libya. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, "Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group," would report:
Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, 'met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey,' said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. 'Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there.'Another Telegraph article, "Libya's new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels," would admit that
Syrian rebels held secret talks with Libya's new authorities on Friday, aiming to secure weapons and money for their insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, The Daily Telegraph has learned.
At the meeting, which was held in Istanbul and included Turkish officials, the Syrians requested "assistance" from the Libyan representatives and were offered arms, and potentially volunteers.
'There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria,' said a Libyan source, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see.'
US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. Harati is now commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria attempting to destroy the Syrian government and subjugate the Syrian population. Traditionally, this is known as "foreign invasion."
In Time's article, "Libya's Fighters Export Their Revolution to Syria," it is reported:
Some Syrians are more frank about the assistance the Libyans are providing. 'They have heavier weapons than we do,' notes Firas Tamim, who has traveled in rebel-controlled areas to keep tabs on foreign fighters. 'They brought these weapons to Syria, and they are being used on the front lines.' Among the arms Tamim has seen are Russian-made surface-to-air missiles, known as the SAM 7.
Libyan fighters largely brush off questions about weapon transfers, but in December they claimed they were doing just that. 'We are in the process of collecting arms in Libya,' a Libyan fighter in Syria told the French daily Le Figaro. 'Once this is done, we will have to find a way to bring them here.'

about this special limited medallion
The Guardian reported in their November 2011 article, "Libyan chemical weapons stockpiles intact, say inspectors," that:
Libya's stockpiles of mustard gas and chemicals used to make weapons are intact and were not stolen during the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, weapons inspectors have said.But also reported that:
The abandonment or disappearance of some Gaddafi-era weapons has prompted concerns that such firepower could erode regional security if it falls into the hands of Islamist militants or rebels active in north Africa. Some fear they could be used by Gaddafi loyalists to spread instability in Libya.
Last month Human Rights Watch urged Libya's ruling national transitional council to take action over large numbers of heavy weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, it said were lying unguarded more than two months after Gaddafi was overthrown.
On Wednesday the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said the UN would send experts to Libya to help ensure nuclear material and chemical weapons did not fall into the wrong hands.And while inspectors claim that Libya's chemical weapons are in the "government's" hands and not "extremists'," it is clear by the Libyan government's own admission, that they themselves are involved in sending fighters and weapons into Syria.
It stands to reason that NATO-backed sectarian-extremists, directly affiliated with Al Qaeda and with the support of Libya's government, will also acquire and bring chemical and biological weapons with them - with their use in Syria almost as inevitable as the West's duplicity and spin that will be used to then blame it on the Syrian government.

It was five days after he would have wanted, but Max Scherzer finally got a win for his late brother in the Detroit Tigers' 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday night.
It was a game the Tigers controlled pretty much from the beginning, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning. After struggling to pitch throughout most of the series with the Texas Rangers, it was a welcome sight, seeing the Tigers jumping out to a lead early and having the pitching hold it. Scherzer kept the Rays hitters baffled as he worked six innings of four hit, two run baseball. Perhaps more impressive than his low hit and run totals though, was his strikeout to walk ratio, 7/2.
The Tigers' number three starter has had a problem with consistency throughout his career, but over his last few starts he has turned in impressive performances. Scherzer has consistently attacked the strike zone and used his best pitches to help him carve up opponents and put his team in position to win. He would be on a winning streak now, if it wasn't for the lack of offense in last weekend's series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Offense wasn't a problem Thursday though, as the Tigers amassed a gaudy 15-hits, yet only scored five runs. Despite not driving in as many runners as they probably wish they had, Detroit was a respectable 5-13 with runners in scoring position, a situation they haven't cashed in on for most of the year
Leading the way was Miguel Cabrera, who had four hits, plated two runners and even scored once himself. Perhaps the biggest run and RBI he had was in the ninth, when he crushed a ball over right center field to give Detroit a nice three run cushion.
It was the top five in the order who jump started the offense all night and kept in running through most of the game. Austin Jackson, Quintin Berry, Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Delmon Young combined for 11 hits and four of the five RBIs. While the bottom of the order continues to struggle, it was nice to see Alex Avila add another extra base hit to his record.
The bullpen held strong for Scherzer and the Tigers despite a few scary moments. Phil Coke, Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde pitched three innings of scoreless baseball. Of the three, Coke had the most trouble surrendering a hit and a walk, but didn't concede a run.
The win moves the Tigers back to two games below .500 with an opportunity, providing they don't sweep the Rays, to pull even with the mark on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins.
Tigers' MVP: It has got to be Miguel Cabrera. The man is just unstoppable it seams. He was 4-5, crushed a ball in the ninth for some insurance and would have been a perfect 5-5 if it wasn't for a great defensive play by Tampa. He seems to be heating up again at just the right time.
Tigers Goat: Poor Ramon Santiago, he just couldn't do anything at the plate on Thursday. He played a fine second base, but the 0-4, while leaving three runners on is just kind of sad, especially when none of his hits even came close to threatening.

How can lead get into my drinking water?
Typically, lead enters your water after the water leaves your local treatment plant or your well. That is, the source of lead in your home's water is most likely coming from a pipe or solder in your home's own plumbing. The most common cause is corrosion, a reaction between the water and the lead pipes or solder. Dissolved oxygen, low pH (acidity) and low mineral content in water are common causes of corrosion (Actions You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water, EPA810-F-93-001, June 1993). Additional information about actions you can take to reduce lead in drinking water is available at http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/index.cfm.

Video:How to Clip a Puppy's Nailswith Annie Grossman
Trimming a puppy's nails is imperative to the life of your furniture and wood floors. Learn how to get a puppy used to getting their nails trimmed in this how-to video from About.com.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Clip a Puppy's Nails
Hi I'm Annie Grossman. I'm a dog trainer with School for the Dogs in New York City, and I'm here for About.com to talk about trimming your puppy's nails.
Trimming Your Puppy's Nails
This is something you're gonna want to do when your puppy is little still so they get used to it. This can be a funny feeling for them. This is a nail clipper for dogs. When you cut the dog's nail, you really just want to cut off the very tip, like a millimeter or two millimeters. When in doubt, cut less. Dogs have a quick in their nails and if you cut too much of it, it will bleed, so you don't want to do that.
As dogs get older, especially dogs that walk on pavement, their nails will generally file themselves. You may need to get them cut at the vets a couple times a year. A lot of nail clippers will come with styptic powder which is in case they do bleed. And that's just a little bit of powder that you can put on that will help the blood coagulate.
Getting Your Puppy Used to Nail Clippers
This set also comes with a little nail file, which you can use if there's just a rough edge that you want to even out. I'm just getting her used to the feeling, I'm not accomplishing a whole lot here, but that's okay. I just want her to be alright having this around her paws.
And I'm gonna give her a little treat so that she has some a good associations between getting her nails handled and these products. When you're clipping your dog's nails, first you can just get them used to the object. "Look, yes!" So I'm rewarding her just for touching it. I want her to just like this object. So even before I'm cutting her nails, I'm just gonna have it near her paw. And I'm gonna give her a little treat for being so nice and letting me touch her paw with the clipper, right? "Good girl!"
So these have been tips on how to trim your puppy's nails. For more information, visit About.com.

Where to buy a baby pig in Austin?
My husband has it through his head that he wants to cook a whole baby pig. Where in Austin can we buy one?
I'm sure there are plenty people on here who could tell you more, but the first thing I'd do would be to check the vendor list at http://www.sfcfarmersmarket.org/. See who the pork vendors are, write them an email, and you can probably arrange pickup on Wednesday or Saturday for a suckling pig. I bet it'd be pretty easy. Good luck!
I would think most of the meat markets would have access.
Stuffed up North has some.

Gear Review
Get it!
Its a great pack. Has lots of room to fit my two large fly boxes and more. Has a zipper pocket inside of the large compartment to put things like leaders, tippet spools, fishing license, etc.... havent used the tray so much, but I think I will next time for convenience. My wader pockets were getting too bulky with all the gear I was carrying so I decided to upgrade to this. Greatest decision ever! Its also nice having the water bottle holders so I dont have to rely on leaving water in the oven of a car I have. I highly recommend this product! Oh and one other thing. The site says that there are "Bottom cinch straps..." but there aren't any. Dont let that hold you back

The Undergraduate Minor in French
The goal of the minor in French is to give students a solid grounding and fluency in the French language and to provide a basic familiarity with important aspects of French and francophone culture and society. Together these accomplishments will enable students to pursue their interests in French language and in countries where French is used.
The minor is designed for students who have a strong interest in French but cannot fulfill the requirements of the French major, either because their knowledge of French was nonexistent or elementary when they came to Northwestern or because they are also engaged in another major with requirements that preclude pursuing a second major. Except for one possible course at the 300 level, minors should take all courses in French.
Students choosing to minor in French are assumed to have completed 201 or the equivalent.
Minor course requirements (9 units):
Students returning from a study abroad program must enroll in at least 1 300-level course in the department other than 301, 302, and 303.
Current WCAS policy states that courses offered by other institutional participants in the Semester On-Line Program may count as elective credit toward graduation, but that individual departments or programs determine whether these courses count toward majors or minors. The Department of French & Italian will not credit these or any other on line courses toward the major or minor, including as related courses.
Check with the Director of Undergraduate Studies for information on specific courses.

Mind the GapNovember 17th, 2009 by Blair Levin - Executive Director, Omnibus Broadband Initiative
3 Responses to "Mind the Gap"
Well your off to a great start...
"Finally, February, the FCC will vote on the plan, which is due to Congress, by law, on Feb. 17, 2009. The Commission has every intention of meeting that deadline."
Looks like you missed that deadline... Joking obviously a typo right? I belive it should be Feb. 17, 2010.
The only true way you are going to close the "gap" is to work with the broadband providers that currently have infrastructure in place. You wonder why the first round of bidding for the 7.2 billion stimilus came in at 28 billion. It's because buisness will need to start from scratch having to build there own infrastructure where current infastructure exisits. Now, well I agree competition is great and often brings down the cost of service to the consumer... We will not get the best bang for our buck if you don't work with providers currently that have infrastructure in place. Providers should have to service the entire area not just pick and choose what they deem to be profitable. If Time Warner, Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast, could obtain funding with no strings attached other than showing that the money that they are taking is strickly being used to build out infrastructure to unserved areas, then this will close the "gaps" you discuss. How many studies/research must be done??? I mean seriously. All the money being spent to map where broadband currently is versus where it isn't versus where it will be.... etc... Here's a swell idea send a survey in the snail mail. Have a box to check yes or no as to whether you can currently obtain broadband services. Better idea, make grants available to the public. I would apply for the $10,000 Time Warner quoted me to run less than a 1/4 mile of cable on poles that already exist in a town they have a franchise agreement in!!! As I have said before Hughesnet and Wildblue.. and other satellite internet providers are NOT broadband providers. They are simply access to the internet via a satellite that throttle speeds to dial up.
In some issues treated by the Broadband Plan, "Mind the gap" is an apt phrase. But in others, it might well be "Mind the gulf." There are some huge impediments -- most of them completely artificial and directly addressable by the Commission and/or Congress -- to better, ubiquitous, affordable broadband.
For example, the gulf between small, local ISPs, such as myself, and obtaining even a small amount of uncluttered radio spectrum on which to operate, is huge. There's an auction process that's designed, effectively, to play "keep-away" -- keeping spectrum from anyone but huge providers. Likewise, the gulf between rural cities such as Laramie, where I operate, and the Internet backbone is not only wide but being exploited by the incumbents -- via excessive "special access" rates -- to drive up our costs and prevent us from providing the sort of service we'd love to provide.
And finally, there's the vast gulf between the world inside the Beltway -- with its slick, well paid lobbyists and political intrique -- and the real world. DC is a world of veiled motives, of gamesmanship, of political horse trading, while out here in the real world we simply need to get things done and get them done right -- no excuses. This is perhaps the most dangerous gulf of all.
For example, when I see lobbyists from Google (or for "public interest" groups controlled by or receiving substantial contributions from it) lobbying the FCC, claiming that what's best for Google is best for the country ("Hamstring ISPs with crippling 'network neutrality regulation, but don't regulate us!"), I'd love to speak out and point out that the Emperor has no clothes. "This is the way it really is! It's indisputable! Come look!"
But I have work to do, and a full time business to run, and cannot be there more than occasionally. (Nor do I have time to draft as many formal comments as I would like.) Neither can most of my colleagues, despite the fact that I daily urge them to participate. And so, there's a real danger that the large interests who make big political contributions, and can afford to send highly paid representatives to Court, will get the King's ear.
This is the yawning gap which we must mind most of all.
Why couldn't the government implement a broadband network like they do roads - provide local governments with funding to maintain their roads, lay down the interstate highways, and let people decide where they want to drive.
I'm not happy Verizon won a big chunk of the 700MHz auction, and I'm also not pleased with where an initially great idea is headed with this national broadband plan.
It's becoming more and more like an oligarchy... if not a single monarchy playing multiple sides.
The only way we can really make the internet and broadband "neutral" is to let the computers we each own do the navigating and quit with the ISP garbage all together. And no, I do NOT mean that the government should be the ISP - I mean there should be no ISP.
Think Plug-n-Play. You plug in and you're off. No set up, no monthly subscription, no gateway websites forcing you where to go when you open your browser, none of it. It's feasible, and probably cheaper for EVERYONE, corporate, federal, local, and end-user. Pay for the wire or the wireless device and go from there. We don't want the internet to be jacked up like the phone services - a handful of companies offering roughly the same stuff, but tweaking it ever so slightly so they can charge you different rates and you never really get everything you want.
If the government keeps this crap up, you can imagine there's going to be a technocratic revolution to take the internet BACK into the citizens' control

Linnton Neighborhood Volunteers Go After Ivy Along Hoge Creek
Jun 29, 2015 at 10:03 AM 0 Comments | Add a Comment
Funding from the Community Watershed Stewardship Program will help support the project
Watch the transformation of Hoge Creek in Linnton Neighborhood from ivy-covered to lovingly-restored with native plants. Neighborhood volunteers have received grant funding from the City of Portland's Community Watershed Stewardship Program and have worked with Portland Parks and Recreation to save mature trees from climbing ivy, remove ivy near the stream and restore the area with native woodland species.
The group has recently been awarded $6,200 to continue the work on a restoration, outreach and pollution reduction project for Linnton Creek in Forest Park. The project will remove invasive vegetation, restore native plants, and install an interpretive sign and a plastic bag dispenser to encourage dog owners to pick up after their pets to reduce pollution in the creek.
The Community Watershed Stewardship Program (CWSP) helps Portlanders make improvements in their neighborhoods and communities, while also improving the health of our watersheds. CWSP is a partnership between Environmental Services and Portland State University. Visit the CWSP website to learn more about stewardship projects and future funding opportunities.

Dear Applicant
Thank you for your interest in a career with Waltham Forest. In September 2012 we created our Families Directorate, and we are making great progress towards our goal of being independently rated as Excellent. We see the Families model as adding value to the good work of existing services rather than replacing core agendas and are successfully making the connections with the Environment and Regeneration Directorate to support the regeneration of the Borough and improve the quality of life for residents.
Waltham Forest is a place where you can come and make a difference. The multi-cultural makeup of the Borough and the complex and ever changing nature of deprivation in our communities are big challenges for us, but they bring difference and variety and professional satisfaction to our work. At the same time, Member commitment to the Families Directorate, allied with the knock on benefits of regeneration and the Olympics mean we have the confidence that we can deliver excellent outcomes for the Borough's Families.
Of course to meet our goals we need great people. We are lucky to have many committed and highly skilled team members. They have been working hard to take us to our current position. We have recently recruited to three key leadership roles, Divisional Director, Children & Families, Head of Quality Assurance and Head of Children and Care. To complete the jigsaw we now need your vision, leadership, passion and innovation to help us continually raise the bar as we strive for excellence for the Borough and its residents.
Our environment is one where staff are valued and encouraged to achieve their personal and professional goals. We have a strong team ethic, morale is high and relationships with Members are first class. This is a great career opportunity for committed and high calibre managers to make their mark in fast improving services within a new and ambitious Families Directorate. We can do something very special at Waltham Forest. If you would like to be part of this, we would be delighted to receive an application from you.

Cob Smoked Ham
I have a cob smoked ham that was given to me as a gift. I don't like the taste that the cob smoke imparts. Is there any way to remove /reduce the flavor so I can use it? I'd hate to throw it away.... I was thinking that maybe boiling it (as Julia Child suggested for using bacon in Beef Burgundy) to get the smokiness out...

ARLINGTON, VA - As the Gulf Coast slowly rebuilds from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, residents are returning home. Although housing is still limited, it is becoming sufficient enough that a new barrier is emerging: a shortage of child care.
Like everyone else, child care professionals have been displaced to neighboring states. But now more than ever, especially as schools let out for the summer, they are needed back home. "The rebirth of the Gulf Coast is dependent on the accessibility of affordable, high-quality child care," says Linda Smith, executive director of National Association for Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA). "That accessibility is dependent upon caregivers returning home."
In Mississippi, they have developed an informal system to transfer staff to centers less affected by Katrina while those devastated are restored. But child care program directors say they still need more staff, a shortage that is predicted to grow as more centers and family child care homes get back on their feet.
More directors are needed to open and reopen centers, too. With 80 percent of licensed child care centers in Orleans Parish and many in Mississippi's three coastal counties still closed in the wake of Katrina, virtually every program presently open is filled to capacity. Local Child Care Resource & Referral agencies (CCR&Rs) are receiving calls every day from parents who cannot return home without child care. They are depending on caregivers to lead them home.
Helen Green, interim director of Hume Child Development Center, is scrambling to rehire former employees and recruit new ones. She knows of only two of her 14 employees who plan to return, and she has less than three months to find a dozen more. Pearlie Harris, owner and director of Royal Castle Child Development Center, faces similar challenges. With only four of her 20 former staff planning to return, a large "Now Hiring!" sign hangs on the front of her center.
Despite staffing obstacles, dedicated CCR&R professionals are working to rebuild facilities. During a volunteer work day coordinated by NACCRRA and New Orleans United Way Success by 6 on June 9, volunteers - 35 in all - representing NACCRRA and various CCR&Rs from across the country donated a half-day to restore Royal Castle and Hume.
"Child care is my passion. I really love what I'm doing, "Harris said. "A lot of kids I work with don't have much, and I love to see them have lots of wonderful toys to play with while learning at Royal Castle."
Dedication to children and families in her hometown of New Orleans is similarly what fuels Judy Watts, executive director of Agenda for Children, a CCR&R serving southern Louisiana. "If we don't rebuild child care, New Orleans will be a city without children - and a city without children has no future," she says.
Watts encourages former caregivers and providers to return home, and urges others that there could not be a better time to open a child care center or family home. "If you are a child care provider or would like to be one, Agenda can help you obtain employment, open or reopen a center, or become a home-based provider," she says.
In Mississippi, the Gulf Coast CCR&R is similarly helping professionals get back on their feet, connecting them with employment opportunities, recovery resources, and training options.
Dr. Cathy Grace of Mississippi State University's Early Childhood Institute notes that unconditional relief assistance has revitalized child care professionals' self-perception of their value. "Child care owners and teachers are really seeing their importance to the community, and are experiencing a new sense of professionalism," she says. "This may help with filling the staffing needs throughout the region."
At the same time that it's providing support to recovery along the Gulf Coast, NACCRRA is working to prevent a child care disaster of this magnitude from ever happening again. It is partnering with agencies in the first-ever nationwide child care emergency planning initiative. In July, it will release a disaster-preparedness planning guide.
"As we rebuild child care along the Gulf Coast, we need to apply the lessons we've learned across the nation," says NACCRRA's Smith. "Only then will we be prepared to protect our children during the next disaster…no matter where it happens."
For assistance in Louisiana, contact Agenda for Children at (504) 586-8509; in Mississippi, contact the Gulf Coast CCR&R at (228) 669-4827. To make a donation toward the rebuilding of child care destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, contact these nonprofits directly.

Accidentally deleted the content of some folder
While trying to fix a bug, (it did fix it, but create a new one), I replaced the content of the folder System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0
I'm using mac os x version 10.5.8
Could anyone compress that folder and upload it? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Doing so would be distributing software that is not under a license that accommodates such use (as far as I know - I don't know how Java 5 is licensed).
Re-download Java from here (I think this is the latest update).
Oh I didn't know it was problematic to upload it.
Though I hope the update would fix the problem.
Thanks again.
I tried your solution and it helped. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

The Worst Ruling Since Dred Scott
Last week, Chief Justice John Roberts blatantly ignored the Constitution and the law, and he purposefully rewrote Obamacare in order to rule it legal. He called Obamacare a "tax" instead of an individual mandate; he then proceeded to blithely expand the government's power to tax to encompass a tax on breathing, which is what Obamacare is.
Now, I had warned conservatives years ago that Roberts was a rotten pick for the Supreme Court. "Roberts is not an originalist," I wrote in 2005. "There is nothing in his very short jurisprudential record to indicate that his judicial philosophy involves strict fidelity to the original meaning of the Constitution."
Nonetheless, Roberts' decision was stunning.
It was stunning because the Obamacare decision represented the greatest single judicial limitation on American liberty since Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), in which the Supreme Court ruled that under the Constitution, blacks were not human beings. Dred Scott is the judicial benchmark for evil decisions and far surpasses the Obamacare decision in its legal flaws and moral emptiness. And there are many other evil and disgusting Supreme Court decisions that threatened American liberty: Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), allowing states to segregate by race; Buck v. Bell (1927), allowing states to forcibly sterilize the mentally ill; Korematsu v. United States (1944), allowing the federal government to order Japanese Americans into internment camps based on the need to prevent espionage.
All of these decisions were wrong, both legally and morally. But Obamacare surpasses all but Dred Scott in its violation of profound foundational American principles.
Essentially, the Obamacare decision said that the federal government can force you to do anything. They don't have to tax behavior. They can tax non-behavior.: They can tell you to do virtually anything they want. They can tax you unless you buy the right foods, listen to the right music, engage in the right type of work. If you refuse to pay the tax, they can jail you.
The Obamacare decision destroys the basic concept of American liberty: freedom to live as you choose without interference by the federal government so long as you don't affect the lives of others. Now the government can penalize you in the privacy of your own home for failing to do as they say.
Like other nasty Supreme Court decisions of the past, this one was made based not on the Constitution, but on the political predilections of the judges. Most obviously, in Dred Scott, Chief Justice Roger Taney thought that by ruling that slavery could not be prohibited in federal territories, he would be preventing Civil War; instead, he precipitated it.
Taney's machinations — his political considerations in his decisionmaking — were clearly above and beyond the duties of the Court. But he undertook them anyway. The result was the greatest moral blot on the history of the Supreme Court.
There is no doubt that the same sort of logic went into Chief Justice Roberts' thinking. He apparently switched his vote on Obamacare after feeling pressure from the Obama administration and the media; he decided that he'd simply toss the issue to voters rather than doing his Constitutional job. His goal was the preservation of the Supreme Court's "legitimacy" — a goal undermined by his own illegitimate decision-making. Politics mattered more to Roberts than duty.
And so Americans pay with their rights.
In the end, all of the mistakes of the Supreme Court were overturned — after far too long — by the will of the American people. Dred Scott was overturned by the Civil War; Plessy was overturned not truly by Brown v. Board, but by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Obamacare will be overturned by the people themselves. But the damage done to the Supreme Court cannot be undone.

Wal-Mart brings opportunities and concerns, Bowser says
Councilwoman Muriel Bowser says Wal-Mart's desire to open four stores in the District has prompted a lively discussion among her constituents, as one of the locations the World's Largest Retailer wants is the Ward 4 site once occupied by Curtis Chevrolet at the corner of Georgia and Missouri NW.
The project should lead to improved retail and job opportunities for area residents – including construction jobs – but there are concerns about what Wal-Mart's arrival will mean for mom-and-pop stores.
Bowser (D) said she's been in contact with Ward 4 residents, and intends to have in-depth conversations with company officials about their plans.
Here's what she told us today:
The first part of our conversation with Councilwoman Bowser can be seen later today when NewsTalk re-airs at 4pm & 6pm. You'll also be able to hear our Q&A with Jenny Beth Martin, a Georgia resident who co-founded the Tea Party Patriots. As she told Politico, Tea Party leaders are angry about some of future Speaker John Boehner's committee assignments.
Lastly, we spoke today with Jarrod Chlapowski, director of Field Operations for Servicemembers United, a group that has lobbied long and hard for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Last night's vote in the House of Representatives was a big win for repeal forces, and SU is hopeful the Senate will follow suit. Chlapowski, who has his team working the Senate today, says the decision to overturn the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly is "easier" given the new direction of public opinion. He also pointed to the recent DOD report that indicated repeal could occur without disrupting military operations.

The broad 68° angle of view is well-suited to all-around shooting for both interior and exterior locations. A high-grade multi-layer HD coating has been applied to lens elements to help minimize flare and ghosting for enhanced contrast, clarity, and color fidelity and a seven-blade diaphragm contributes to an aesthetic out-of-focus quality to benefit shallow depth of field imagery. Additionally, an SP Protect coating has also been applied to the front lens element to effectively protect it from dirt, oil, and finger prints.
The compact form-factor of this lens integrates Pentax's Quick-Shift Focus System, which allows manual focus control over the lens at any time, even in AF mode, for precise handling over the focal plane.

Hey guys. I'm looking for shows featuring Saddlebreds and saddle seat riding in the southeast (preferable Georgia/Florida/Alabama, but further isn't undoable if it a higher class show). My mother rode Saddlebreds when she was young and I really think it would be a treat for her to go see a show. I'm not very familiar with it at all (I always did hunter/jumpers) and there aren't really any saddle seat barns in my area. I just thought this might be a nice mother/daughter activity/trip.
Thanks for any leads!

Before I start, for full disclosure, I'm a person of Indian origin who has lived in the US for a very long time, and I love cricket with great passion.
I have loved watching the Pakistan team of the past, including the one lead by Imran Khan when I was young, and wonder what the way out for Pakistan is to become a force to reckon with. Before you all jump at me, I realize that the team has done reasonably well the past two years, and that some of you wish that Pakistan gets to play the best teams again to prove it's ability.
I can think of three reasons.
1. It takes a lot to build trust and only a few things to break it.
Incidents such as the attack on the Srilankan cricket team, match fixing, and other incidents that the country has suffered at large has led to a lack of trust in general.
SO how does one build it again? Professional attitudes to mistakes of the past, and professional system for lesser mistakes in the future would be a good start. This is not enough though. What one needs is lots of patience to be accepted again, similar to what an infidel husband has to do, to prove to a suspecting wife.
Hence, be patient for trust to be built.
2. Sports helps channel our need for competition in a healthy way, politicizing it makes it unhealthy all over again
One reason why the ancient romans watched gladiators go at each other, and why we watch rival teams go at each other --- is because of our innate sense of competition. Except team sports played with national identity, such as cricket, is a great way to channelize energy for the youth.
However, once you bring political drama (whether team selection, management etc) to the game, then you bring the gladiators back, and then people are looking for blood to be shed instead of runs to be scored. So the more the team can be seen as independent of political activity, the better of it is. One might argue, then isnt this the case for the BCCI. Yes it is, infact that is one of the prime reasons why Indian cricket hasnt yet gained its respect despite the money, the glitz, the glamor and the great players.
So de-politicize.
3. A professional system is more important than a great professional leader
Imran Khan was awesome at spotting talent, however, what one needs is a system that not only helps bring the best talent to the fore.....but also instills in them a great sense of professionalism, that will make 11 brand pakistan ambassadors out of talented individuals from rural areas.
International cricket is a finishing school for talented individuals, to display talent and to build accolades for the national side. However, professional domestic cricket is the building block to get these individuals to become the Younis Khan kind of ambassadors, who smile when things are going bad....and display fair and good play. Not the biting the ball, kind of display that Shahid Afridi displayed, that beyond his talent, acted as a poor ambassador for pakistan cricket.
So, build a professional domestic league.
That's it folks three reasons is what I came up with -- be patient to build trust, de-politicize the current system, and build a professional domestic league.
What other things can you come up with?

SEGUIN, TX (March 23, 2013) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor softball team posted a big game one victory but could not overcome a five-run inning in game two as the Cru split a doubleheader with Texas Lutheran Saturday in Seguin. UMHB won game one 7-1 before falling 5-1 in game two. The Cru is now 11-11 overall and 6-6 in American Southwest Conference West Division play. The Bulldogs move to 20-8 overall and 10-2 in the ASC West on the season following the split.
UMHB grabbed an early lead and never looked back in the 7-1 game one victory. Tori Gomez walked with the bases loaded to open the scoring and a two-run TLU error pushed it to 3-0 Cru in the top of the third. Kourtney Bevers added a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth to make it 4-0 UMHB and the Cru tacked on three more in the fifth. Chandler Henson singled home two runs and another Bulldog error accounted for the final run. TLU scored one in the bottom of the seventh, but that's as close as it would get. Rebekah Ragsdale scattered four hits over five scoreless innings to raise her record to 7-3 for UMHB. Henson and Kelsey Vann had two hits apiece to lead the Cru's 11-hit attack.
The Cru could not recover from TLU's five-run fifth inning in a 5-1 loss in game two. UMHB took an early lead on a run scoring error in the top of the third inning. The Bulldogs then put together five hits, a walk and an error for the five-run fifth and UMHB never recovered. Leanne Hinojosa and Janie Neyland had three hits apiece for the Cru. Halle Sabo took the loss in the circle to fall to 0-4 on the season.
UMHB will now return home to host Pacific Lutheran for a 12:00 PM, non-conference doubleheader on Monday. The Cru will then welcome Sul Ross State to Dee Dillon Field for a four-game ASC West Division series on Thursday and Friday.
In Belton, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor baseball team held off a late Hardin-Simmons rally in game two and the Cru held on to salvage a doubleheader split with the Cowboys Saturday afternoon in Belton. UMHB fell 9-1 in game one before surviving for a 5-4 victory in game two. The Cru is now 11-13 overall and 4-5 in American Southwest Conference West Division play. The Cowboys move to 15-10 overall and 5-4 in the ASC West after splitting the double dip.
UMHB grabbed the lead early and then held on for a 5-4 game two win. Garrett Webb and Seth Mogavero hit RBI doubles in the third to put the Cru up 2-0. Webb added an RBI single in the fourth to make it 3-0. The Cowboys put single runs on the board in the fifth and sixth, but UMHB answered with Chris Florack's RBI triple and Zack Whiddon's RBI double in the bottom of that frame. The Cowboys took advantage of two UMHB errors to cut the lead to 5-4 in the top of the eighth, but Sam VanHoozer pitched out of a ninth-inning jam to preserve the win for the Cru. VanHoozer notched his first save of the season and Chance Ryan earned the win to move to 3-2 on the season. Florack, Webb and Whiddon all had two hits apiece for UMHB in the victory.
UMHB fell behind early and never recovered in a 9-1 game one loss. The Cowboys took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning and added four more runs in the top of the fourth. Marcus Uechi's two-run double was the biggest hit in the inning. UMHB cut it to 5-1 on Robert Loewe's RBI single in the bottom of that frame, but HSU added four more in the top of the seventh to put it out of reach. The Cru was held to four hits in the game. Nick Bergmann took the loss to drop to 1-4 on the year. Bergmann gave up three runs and four hits in three innings.
UMHB will return to action with a three-game ASC West Division series at Concordia Texas next week in Austin. The two teams will play a 7:00 PM single game on Thursday before closing out the weekend with a 1:00 PM doubleheader on Friday.

Network news: Surely you can write on one of these topics
Have you noticed that John Battelle's Federated Media manages [the ads for -- which is what we meant, using that old "band manager" metaphor that Cory Doctorow loves, but whatever] Boing Boing, Metafilter, PVRblog, 43 Folders, Broadband Blog, Wi-fi Networking News, and Battelle's Searchblog?

HackADay wasn't part of the WIN/AOL deal, reveals Jason Calacanis, because it makes its living by gently breaking the law. This will all end in tears and a big cease-and-desist.

Fine Fools is hiring bloggers to write about automobiles, finance, television, movies, music, sports, fashion, men's lifestyles, women's lifestyles, travel, software, Apple, Microsoft, open source, Web 2.0, cycling, jobs, and card-playing.

UTSA Sports
E-N coverage of the San Antonio institution.
Yearly Archive for 2010
With invitations 'a foregone conclusion,' what now?
Back bright and sort of early after the late-night drive from Big D. Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson has scheduled a noon teleconference — strictly informational, according to the notification. Whatever he has to say — again, just to be crystal clear, nothing major is expected — it will probably blend nicely with some […] [Read More]
The big meet in Big D
Just finished up with Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson at the DFW Hilton — a glamorous life, this sportswriting — after speaking with UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey and Texas State counterpart Larry Teis following their morning meeting. I'll be hammering out my story here pretty shortly, but a few details first: * As […] [Read More]
Prelude to Tuesday
Just checked into the the lovely DFW Marriott Airport South in advance of tommorrow's meeting between the Western Athletic Conference membership committee, commissioner Karl Benson and UTSA's two-person contingent of athletic director Lynn Hickey and associate AD Brad Parrott. Also expected to make presentations during the four-hour meeting are Texas State and the Universities of […] [Read More]
UTSA scrimmage, 09/22
The defense continued to exact revenge after Monday's torching at the hands of its offensive counterparts, following up a good workout on Tuesday with an impressive showing in UTSA's second scrimmage Wednesday at Farris Stadium. The offense scored three touchdowns — one more than last week — in 12 possessions, but two came after the coaching staff, which […] [Read More]
UTSA announces series with OK St.
To be played at the Alamodome on Sept. 7, 2013 and in Stillwater on Sept. 13, 2014 and Sept. 19, 2015. Some interesting ties between the Cowboys and what associate athletic director Brad Parrott calls "The Okie Mafia" at UTSA. Roadrunners coach Larry Coker was born in Oklahoma and served as offensive coordinator at OSU […] [Read More]
General WAC update
ADD, 5:50 p.m. Over at the Convocation Center, checking out some pickup games between the men's basketball team. (An early tip — 6-8 Australian freshmen Jeromie Hill and Iggy Nujic are going to be really good.) Found a great resource tool at UTSA Today that lists revenues and expenses for all NCAA schools. A quick […] [Read More]
UTSA scrimmage pushed back
Scrimmage No. 2 has been pushed back to 7:30 p.m. today at Farris Stadium to accommodate practices for several area high school teams. [Read More]
UTSA practice, 9/21
Offensive coordinator Travis Bush was certain UTSA's defense would bounce back after getting thrashed by his unit in Tuesday's workout. That rebound came a lot sooner than Bush probably wanted Wednesday as the defense returned the favor with one of its best sustained stretches of fall camp. Defensive coordinator Neal Neathery was sure to point […] [Read More]
WAC meeting set for Sept. 28
We'd pinned down that the next round of discussions between UTSA and Texas State and the Western Athletic Conference would take place early next week at the national D1A Athletic Director's Convention in Dallas, and now we have an exact date as per commissioner Karl Benson. Benson said several other schools would also meet with […] [Read More]
UTSA practice, 9/20
Another day, another workout in which UTSA's offense managed to outshine the defense. That was the opinion from this vantage point for the past couple of workouts, and head coach Larry Coker concurred on Monday, going so far as to say he was "disappointed a little bit" in the fact that his defense hasn't been able […] [Read More]

Spectral Characteristics of Children's Voices: Variation in SPL
E Stathopoulos, J Huber
This investigation studied the mechanisms used by children to control vocal intensity variation. Aerodynamic and vibratory factors including subglottal pressure, vocal fold closed times, and closing forces affect glottal airflow waveform. While children have an overall higher OQ than adults, they do not use a decreased OQ to increase their vocal intensity. It was hypothesized that children control SPL by increases in subglottal pressure and faster closing forces, incrementally more than adults. The acoustic result was that children produced high SPL by accentuating the higher spectra to a greater degree than adults. One hundred and eighty normal-speaking participants (ten males and ten females, aged 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20-30 years) produced a sustained vowel [a] and syllable trains of [pa] at comfortable pitch and loudness and at 10 dB above comfortable. Measurements included: SPL, Ps, OQ, MFDR, and amplitude of F0, F1, and F3. Data verified young children did not use a decreasing OQ as a mechanism for increasing SPL, but instead increased Ps and MFDR to a greater degree than adults. The formant data substantiated that younger children's spectra contain more energy in the higher frequencies than do the older children and adults. Results will be discussed relative to the anatomical and physiological differences between children and adults which necessitate different control mechanisms.

Evans Onyx Snare Head thoughts?
I've done several upgrades to it to the point where I actually quite like the tone (Funnily enough, each upgrade has managed to cost almost as much/more than the actual snare itself).
I've thrown on some Die-cast Hoops, Equalizer Snare Wires w/ 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon straps.
The top head is a Coated Remo Emperor X, and the bottom is a stock clear Powerbeat head (Not sure of thickness/material).
So, now to my question: I'm considering playing around with heads. Regardless of opinion, I'll probably give it a try, but I'm thinking of trying an Evans Onyx on my batter side. I love to have a really dry, crisp sound to my snare and I keep it tensioned up damn tight for a decent crack, and I really do enjoy the Coated Emp X on it, but wondered if anyone has tried Onyx heads on their Snare and their thoughts? Any sound clips?
