thanks to bmarlo for this signature
Hi guys, Thanks for the help, thus far! Have read mauifrogs guide a few times to digest it. I see that due to me having a 4.3e PAL, .. I need ..Super Smash Bros Brawl? If so, I am headed now to JBHIFI to buy SSBB and a 2g Scandisk SD Card
I have already downloaded the (required?) Wii Softmod files for my version of Wii, from mauifrogs list into a temp folder. I had to grab these from the entire list at the bottom of the guide since the links weren't working.... I just want to know if I have the
correct ones. Wondering what my SD Card should look like file wise before I go ahead. Hope Im correct, Once again thankyou for your help!
Justmade an "initial" donation to Wiihacks.com. CHEERS!
Just follow the guide from start to finish and it will tell you what your card structure will be. It will tell you when to format, and when to format again. Just go through it slow, and do what it says, and your good to go.
Hi again, after following this guide I put my games on a FAT32 HDD and so far the latest wiiflow only runs with IOS249 for me, all other wiiflow versions won't load, but it takes like 25 seconds to boot so I moved to USB loader Gx 2.0 running on IOS 222 and so far haven't had any issues except:
Fat32 partition on Usb Loader 2.0 won't run on Cios 249 Rev 17 and I want it to run on 249 because a game in particular only runs on 249, I've tried 222,223 and 224 and I got a black screen.
So I rather have USB loader on 249 by default and change the IOS to whatever IOS is needed to a given game in particular when needed.
So my question is: What Cios 249 version is recommended and on which base so I can load my FAT32 partition on USB loader Gx 2.0 on Cios 249 by default?
Sorry if this is silly, I've been away from wii softmodding for a while and I'm kind of confused with the latest Cios by waninkoko.
EDIT: Also I read something like not all of the Bases can be used for the latest Cios 249 if using Wad manager, is this true? Do I need to use another method to install Cios 249 different from wad manager 1.7?

Check out this thread for more information on cIOS's and slot choices.
Also I would recomend using Configurable USB Loader, as it seems to be one of the favorites around here and plays pretty much anything you throw at it. Great UI, and changing settings are easy! If you used this guide here you should already have it installed.
please can someone send me the link to softmod my wii version 4.3u without using a game to mod it

I'm Turkish and this place is awesome..
Posted by JamesFromBrooklyn on 03/11/2013
I came here after the gym and i was very hungry. The woman behind the counter made me feel like i was at home ( i am not turkish but she was a very hospitable woman) she told me to sit and she served me a nice chicken kebob over rice with Shepard salad, a whole bunch of bread and a drink. the whole ball of wax costed me 8 bucks. It was very delicious food, and while i was in there they had turkish news on and turkish men drinking tea. it truly felt like i was in istanbul. great place. my only criticism is i think they should get a nicer awning outside i think it will bring much more traffic in the store. Dont let the outside fool you! great place! thanks guys!

I frequently order in from this place and loved everything I tried on the menu so far. The Adana kebabs are very tasty and the rice pudding for dessert can't be beat. Just wish they accepted credit cards. The place itself is small so better for takeout than eat-in.

Educators testify in funding case
Principals and teachers of Union County Public Schools took the stand Friday.
Kevin Plue, principal of Forest Hills High School; Candace Boatwright, principal of Indian Trail Elementary School; and Michael Zezich, assistant principal at Sun Valley High School, testified Friday morning.
Judge Erwin Spainhour clarified his statement Thursday about the length of the trial. He said that while he urges them to finish by next Friday, he knows he cannot make that happen. Spainhour told the attorneys he would allow everyone to present their cases fully.
Later in the afternoon, Jennifer Mao, a prekindergarten teacher at Walter Bickett Education Center, testified.
Mao testified about her classroom on part of the campus leaking. She said it would sometimes damage supplies. Mao said she worked out how to arrange the furniture in the classroom to best avoid the leaks. She testified that she would tell her site administrator, and the leaks would be fixed in a few days.
The proposed 2013-2014 capital improvement plan includes installing strategic fencing and host-based intrusion detection systems at eight doors for safety reasons, toilet room renovations to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and an engineering evaluation.
An attorney with Schwartz & Shaw, the firm representing the board of education, asked Mao if the school needed ADA bathrooms. Mao said yes, because they need equal access for all the students and their families. He asked if they needed fencing and HIDs, and she said yes, to keep the kids safe.
Mao said that as a prekindergarten teacher, she is a child's first introduction to school. Whether or not they like going to school may depend on her. She said she works hard to make sure it is a positive experience for each child.
Board of County Commissioners Attorney Ligon Bundy cross-examined Mao, asking about different buildings on the Walter Bickett Education Center campus and whether or not she had seen them leak.
Mao said she had not seen leaks in one building, but noticed wet tiles there earlier this week. In another building that houses the cafeteria and classrooms she said she had not seen leaks personally since returning to school in July.
Court recessed early Friday and will resume Monday at 9:30 a.m.

It almost sounds like something out of a dream, but it's true—scientists from the University of California, San Diego say that a chocolate habit may be more likely to help you slim down than fatten you up.
In their study, approximately 1,000 men and women in San Diego were weighed, measured, and given questionnaires. Those who reported eating chocolate more days a week had lower BMIs than those who claimed to eat it less frequently. (Search: What is my BMI?) And the results can't be explained by better overall health habits—the sweet-toothed participants weren't more likely to consume fewer calories or get more exercise. (Related: Chocolate desserts from the Flat Belly Diet)
"Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight," said study author Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD in a statement. "In the case of chocolate, this is good news, both for those who have a regular chocolate habit, and those who may wish to start one."
The UC San Diego researchers caution that their study does not prove a cause and effect relationship, and that more research is needed to examine the effects of chocolate on the body. In the meantime, satisfy your cocoa cravings by having no more than one 40-gram serving of antioxidant-packed dark chocolate each day.

Corey Gordon
Photo: Photo: Hennepin County Sheriff's Office
A 42-year-old Minneapolis man is accused of pretending to be an aide to a woman who has brain damage so he could have sex with her after therapy sessions.
Corey Gordon has been charged in Hennepin County District Court with felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving the incidents. He appeared in court Thursday.
As of Friday morning, Gordon remained in the Hennepin County Jail.
Click here to read the criminal complaint.
Gordon met the 32-year-old woman in October 2012 at the Mall of America while her mother was inside a store, according to a criminal complaint. When the mother found her daughter talking to Gordon, her daughter said she and Gordon had exchanged phone numbers. The mother also noticed that Gordon was looking up the woman's affliction on his iPad.
The woman has a rare brain disease that caused multiple miniature strokes resulting in permanent brain damage, the complaint said. The woman has the cognitive and emotional ability of someone between 8 and 10 years old. She also uses a walker and wears leg braces and hearing aids.
Over the next few months, the mother found text messages between her daughter and Gordon, which she believed were inappropriate and suggested a romantic relationship, the complaint said. The woman's family talked to Gordon and asked him to stay away from the woman because she was a vulnerable adult.
During that time, the woman was taking a Metro Mobility bus three days a week to therapy sessions at the Courage Center in Golden Valley, the complaint said.
On May 24, the mother drove her daughter to the center, where a staff member said that the woman's personal care attendant was waiting for the woman, the charge said. The mother became concerned because her daughter didn't have a personal care attendant.
The mother saw Gordon in the center's common area, the complaint said. The mother asked Gordon what he was doing there. Gordon pretended not to know the woman and left.
The center's staff said Gordon had been attending every therapy session with the woman for several months, the complaint said. Security at the center revealed that Gordon and the woman had gone into the assisted dressing rooms together multiple times.
The mother told police her daughter didn't need assistance with dressing.
When police spoke to the woman, she said she had met Gordon again at the Mall of America after they first met, the complaint said. During that time, the woman said they had sexual relations in a bathroom.
The woman also said they had sex multiple times in the Courage Center's dressing room, according to the charge. Gordon told the woman to keep their relationship a secret because he could be arrested, the woman told police.
Police learned that Gordon is required to register as a predatory offender. Gordon has been arrested.

April has been a fantastic month for the independent scene with a large majority of Aprils releases indie!
Posted by Henley on May 4th, 2010
April has been a fantastic month for the independent scene with a large majority of Aprils releases mods moving over to the Indie scene or newcomers with fresh releases, a great month make sure you check them all out!
Till next time mod away my good friends and watch this group for updates.
WHAT???? NO PLANETSTORM? not ok
planetstorm must be too elite for this list
No, it is featured releases only. If they put a tad more effort into the ModDB release they would have made the list.
The recent release of the planetstorm UDK showcase isnt really a *release* , just a tech demo. Believe me guys, when Planetstorm has a new release, you'll hear it from underground bunkers :)
Congrats Pavel :)
Thanks for featuring Frozen Synapse! The support we've got from everyone at ModDB has been brilliant - we really appreciate it.
Wasn't Mount and Blade: Warband released in April? Still a great month though!
Is it only me or is the video not working?
movie dont work Oooops! There seems to be something wrong with this video :( Note that some errors are caused by ad blockers.
Awfull month for mods who the hell wants to play these 2d games
people with a good taste for gameplay
I want.
Ha ha awesome.
Obviously not people like you. Too bad, you don't know what you're missing :)
awesome, there were some good stuff this month!
my video isn't playing at all
thats some nice footage showing off "Empires" 's gameplay there, that whole segment of you basically hiding behind a crate :p
lol, that should have been the project reality vid =P
you have an epic firefight, bullets everywhere, your ont sure who the F*** is shooting at you and from where, explosions from the cobra or an Abrams or something arround you....
but hiding behind a box sums up half of the game lol=P
Nice month :)
For those of you having trouble to see the video: just turn off your ad blocker.
why???? it was fine before why this now
Not so good stuff, your game saved the spotlight this month :)
Lots of good stuff this month. There were both 2D and 3D games and mods in the spotlight so there was some variety in the releases.
what? they show no action of empires... just a guy hiding. hope next time they show what empires is really like

POtHS - Conspiracy Facts - Part 83 - Secret Space II Alien Invasion - Chris Everhard
Chris Everhard needs to be taken out to "The Woodshed" and have his behind disciplined!!! He loves "spooky" back ground music. He claims to be in touch with the Spirit World. I know 1, one and ONE ONLY GOOD SPIRIT, The Holy Spirit of Yahweh. ALL OTHER SPIRITS ARE FROM THE "OTHER SIDE". Everhard is definitely Masonic NWO indoctrinated. You can see the Evil oozing from his pours. A lot of what he says about the Spirit World is right on truth and should send up dozens of red flags concerning what he is preaching. It IS NOT OF THE CREATOR YAHWEH, JESUS CHRIST OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF YOU BELIEVE ANY OF EVERHARDS MUMBO JUMBO VODOO RANTING, DOWNLOAD THE TORRENT POtHS - Conspiracy Facts - Part 82 - 24 Conspiracy's Theories Debunked.
Most of HIS stuff is Freemasonery, Black Magic, Luciferian, UfO's coming to save mankind elite scumbags selling Hell direct to YOU. The Aliens are coming but they are not friends of mankind. If they were good they would of helped us with free energy, and helpful doctors and and and but they have done nothing but give their Fallen Angel Alien Technology to the Devil worshiping Illuminati. That's what Satan wants is worship and they give it to him. So anybody that thinks the upcoming Aliens are coming to help them will be a little disapointed to find the Aliens are of Satans Clan. Do not be Deceived Yahweh, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and UNfallen Angels do not need spacecraft to travel inter-dimensionally like Jesus, THS and the UNFALLEN Angels do. Did you know that out of 1.1 millions alien abductions not one Christian has ever been abducted. Pick your POISON!!!
Rapture My transportation.
The Blessed Hope If you believe in The Rapture you better believe That The Sacrificed Blood of Jesus, on The Cross paid for your sins and there is NOTHING Else you can do to gain Salvation, The GRACE of Christ did it ALL. Now you just have to believe that with all your Heart, Mind and Soul or Maybe Get Left Behind. All PAST, Present and Future Sins are Forgiven with Jesus. (I wouldn't PUSH That Future sin statement to much!!!)
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed..
"And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
"Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.[/size]

By ALICIA LEONARD
As the clock struck 12:01 a.m. on the first day of January 2009, a new sheriff arrived in Walton County and he and his new team wasted no time in getting down to business. In courtroom B of the Walton County courthouse, close to 100 deputies, family members and well-wishers gathered to watch the six-day appointment ceremony of new Walton County Sheriff Michael A. Adkinson Jr.
The early appointment by Gov. Charlie Crist had been brought about by former Walton County Sheriff Ralph Johnson's early retirement on Dec. 31. 2008, just six days before Adkinson was scheduled to be sworn-in with the other constitutional officers. The appointment ended on January 6 and Adkinson was sworn-in at the Tuesday morning ceremony with the rest.
At one minute past midnight on New Year's Eve, Walton County Clerk of Courts Martha Ingle administered the oath to Adkinson. Minutes before administering the oath, Ingle smiled and told the DeFuniak Springs Herald, "This is certainly a first for me, as well."
After the ceremony, Adkinson turned to the deputies in attendance and administered the oath to them, officially placing them under his command. New Walton County Under-Sheriff Bill Chapman then spoke briefly of policy changes that would be covered later in the meeting and re-introduced Adkinson to the deputies that were now his charges.
Adkinson said, "Ladies and Gentleman, and to those of you that have heard this speech before and have heard campaign promises, it's now time for action. It's time for the Walton County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) to show that we are proud to serve the people of Walton County; that we are a family and we are dedicated to the success of each other and the people of this county.
"I've done what I believe is a very good job of going out and finding the people that I believe will help us build this agency," he said. "We also have fantastic talent already within the agency. The new people in the agency are here to help you, to fuel growth, to give you the opportunities, so that you become the next sergeant, lieutenant, captain, sheriff. My job is to find my own replacement. That's what I told the new people when they came here. Their job is to train someone to take their place. That's how agencies grow. We become better by preparing people to become the next generation of leaders and that's what we are here to do."
Adkinson then introduced members of the new staff to his department, saying, "The division of professional standards will now be headed by Chief of Professional Standards Capt. Westphal. He comes to us with a long and distinguished career. He is extremely capable and qualified. Lt. Audie Rowell is our new Internal Affairs investigator. He will also be working in the division of professional standers. In IA, one of the things we saw that in the past these things got passed around to people. That's not fair to you, it's not fair to the agency for different people to have to deal with them. You deserve someone who is dedicated, trained, whose sole purpose is to see you are treated fairly; the truth, for the lack of a better word, that the right thing is done. So, now we have someone whose job is strictly to handle Internal Affairs.
"Lt. Michael Howell is next. Michael will be assigned to Special Operations, which will be run by Capt. Graham Fountain. Lt. Mike Barker will be under Capt. Fountain and in special services. He will be handling Judicial Services, which also include the Communication division. The communications division will now have a sworn supervisor," said Adkinson.
"Capt. Tom Ring is now the head of Criminal Investigation division. He is extremely competent and I think you will all be happy with the changes. Working directly for Capt. Ring will be Lt. Brian Schultz."
Adkinson addressed other changes in the department, too. "We've had a little bit of movement. Some of our lieutenants that have been moved will be Lt. Eddie Farris, Lt. Tony Mircle, Lt. Keith Chamblee. They will be moved to start a new division called Citizen Services. Lt. Chamblee will be based on the south end, Lt. Miracle will be based on the north end and Lt. Farris will be based in Freeport. We are moving that way. It will take us a little more time to get our Freeport office up and running, but in the meantime, Lt. Farris will be helping us in the north office," said Adkinson.
"Patrol, we have officially, at midnight, gone with a watch commander system. Your watch commanders for Patrol divison is Lt. Bruce Maddox, Lt. Jason Adkinson, Lt. Oscar Jiggetts and Lt. Billy May. Capt. Bobby Butler will be heading the Patrol division."
Accreditation, policy and procedure changes were addressed next. "I promised you we would go forth with accreditation and we are starting that process immediately. Every policy that you will be receiving in the future will meet state accreditation standards. There are about 13 policy changes that happen immediately. Some are not a whole lot different, some are quite different.
"We are going to re-do the entire policy manual. As you have it now, it does not exist. There will be no more management by memo. There will be a defined rule-book so that you understand what the rules are and they won't change day-to-day. The rules that are put in place will be the rules as long as we're here, so that everybody here understands. I've often said that I want you to be able to come in and say, 'Sheriff, I've got this problem and you said do this, but look what your policy says,' and that's when I have to say, 'You know what? You're right,' because when I do what I say I'm going to do, is when you'll have faith in that policy manual and that's what we're working for. So that you have faith in the policy manual and the protection of that policy and the way we treat you." Adkinson added that new uniforms, weapons and training would soon to be addressed and added that Lt. Joe Preston would handle training for the WCSO. "We are going to continue the good work that has been going on in training, continue to move forward in that area, but the main thing I want to ask of all of you is to be involved. The success or failure of this agency – while it rides on me, it also rides on you. I need you to be involved. You have a stake. This is your agency. If you know a better way of doing something, speak up. Commitment to excellence is something you are going to start seeing everywhere. That is what we are about. It's not just going to be something we put on cars or in the newspaper. It's going to be how we do business. Let's live it. I am proud to serve you as your sheriff and I'm going to give you a 110 percent and we are going to turn this agency into a place we can all be proud of."
Under-sheriff Chapman then took a moment to address the deputies, "I have always said to treat others the way you want to be treated. I know sometimes that is hard, but I believe it is worth it. So when you're out there on the road, remember how you would want to be treated when you are working with others and the public."
Chapman introduced Capt.Westphal who spoke on policy changes. Westphal said more policy changes would be forthcoming, but "Before we talk about policy, lets talk briefly about accreditation. It's one of the things Sheriff Adkinson ran on, getting this agency accredited, and it's not new. It's something the Florida Legislature put into statutes back in 1993 about the need for agencies to become accredited. Well, that is what policy is about. It's written in the statute under chapter 943.125 and said the Florida Sheriff's Association (FSA) and the Florida Chief's Association (FCA) needed to develop an accreditation system that was independent of any agencies such as the FSA and the FCA, so they came up with the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA). When you look through your new policy and you see a number and CFA that the standard for commission we have to meet to become accredited."
Some highlights of the changes in policy included organizational structure, dress codes, secondary employment and use of agency vehicles. Those who are allowed to drive vehicles must reside within 20 miles of the Walton County line. If an officer lives outside of that 20 miles they must request approval to park their car at a safe location. They will not be allowed to take their vehicles out of the state. All ammo will now be issued by the WCSO. If an officer uses a secondary private weapon, they must use WCSO ammo and the caliber of weapon that officers can carry will be regulated. WCSO deputies will be moving toward the use of Tasers, as well. The use of notice to appear will be used more regularly and if a member of a foreign country is arrested, there is a requirement to notify that country's consul. Pursuits will no longer be allowed for traffic violations. Only when an officer believes a forceable felony has taken place, will pursuits will be allowed. Westall encouraged members of the department to contribute to the writing of new policy whenever possible.
Before ending the meeting, Adkinson reminded the deputies that there would be a new process for promotions to sergeant within the WCSO, "This will be clearly defined. The truth about it is I have the ability to promote who I wanted, but I didn't do that. This is a competitive process and it is based on many things – such as experience, education and many other things. No one thing out-rules another. So, over the next 60 days, if you want to be promoted and even if you're not ready to be promoted, I still urge you to take part in the process to understand how it's done. Then it comes in front of a review board. The list will then be good for a year. I told you I was going do it and I'm going to do it. Promotions will come off that list. I won't be a part of that score. You score what you score. It's the fair and right thing to do. I encourage you to take charge of your career and your commitment to advance," said Adkinson.
The sheriff's office will also be starting a mentoring program. "You may want to move from patrol to another area. We are going to try and adjust your schedule once a year to mentor in other divisions. We encourage you to get out there and learn about other parts of this agency and learn if it's the right fit for you. I will provide you with the best training, equipment and salary, and I want you to give a hundred percent to your own career. Do that and the sky's the limit."
In closing Adkinson told the crowd, "I can't tell you how excited and how privileged I am to be here. It's been a long time and quite honestly, I just want to go to the office and go to work."

National Geographic magazine a good collectible for all budgets
They are just too good to throw away. National Geographic magazine's beautiful pictures and quality articles encourage the populous to hold on to them. We want the opportunity to savor those far off places and revisit the wonderful maps that could take us there. Once we are through with them we want someone else to have the same joy so we pass them along to friends. And as happens in many cases we just keep them. They pile up in our attics and garages until we finally have to throw up our hands and either throw them out or donate them to charity book sales.
According to the National Geographic website finding copies of their publications from 1970 until now is relatively easy. A little more difficult but doable is finding those published from 1920 to the present. The real challenge is finding those publications that span the time period from 1888 through the 1920s. With more than 1,200 editions out there to be found, a collector could work on this venue for long time.
There are particular magazines that are more sought after than others because of their content. For example, National Geographic once published a 1906 edition showcasing photos taken by former Congressman George Shiras. Obviously these significant editions could bring a higher price than others.
This is not a costly hobby to enter. If one were a beginner then visiting book sales, rummage events and flea markets would allow them to get started for a minimal investment. In fact there is probably someone out there willing to give them away to just get them off of their hands. As time moved along for the collector, the fun would be filling gaps in publication dates. Ebay prices tend to be all over the place with the highest prices being for the very early editions or several sets bound together.
The National Geographic website is most helpful in offering information dealing with this collectible. They still have some of the older magazines they will sell to interested individuals. Several online auction houses sport advertisements for the magazine as well.
The monthly magazines are very collectible as are the maps, globes and special edition books the Society has published. Like the magazines, the early publications are the most difficult to find. It is an easy collectible and educational inside and out.
Jean McClelland writes about antiques for The Herald-Dispatch.

Planned purchase, demolition of RTP hotel a sign of 'new days'
The foundation that manages the nearly 7,000-acre Research Triangle Park is planning to buy a hotel originally built in 1972 that's in one of three areas targeted for redevelopment in the park.
On Park Drive near the foundation's headquarters, the Radisson Hotel started as the Governor's Inn, according to information from the Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina. It's been a long-time meeting place in the park.
Foundation President and CEO Bob Geolas said the foundation plans to buy the hotel, and then to demolish it. He said foundation officials knew it was for sale, and didn't want to see it get sold and turned into a "lesser brand."
"It's really become an eyesore for a lot of people; it sort of represents the past, it doesn't show well, and we felt nothing could be a stronger sign of new days to come at the Research Triangle Park than purchasing that, and taking it down," Geolas said.
The foundation has not closed on the purchase, but he said it's expected to be finalized in the next couple of months. It already owns the land on which the buiding sits.
Before the foundation takes ownership, he said the hotel will go through a closing-down period. Geolas said plans for the property will be made later.
"It's like anything else - over the years…more full-service hotels, different kinds of hotels, had grown up around it," Geolas said. "For a lot of people that visit the park, they don't even stay there," he added. "We just felt that it was something that needed to happen as we think about how we want the park to be more competitive to maintain its global brand."
Foundation officials are focused on another one of the three areas targeted for redevelopment – 50 acres near Cornwallis Road and Davis Drive, Geolas said.
According to information from a foundation spokeswoman, the site is seen as potentially holding 1.5 million square feet of development made up of 650,000 square feet of office space, 200,000 square feet of retail space, 250 hotel rooms, and 300 residential units.
Geolas said foundation officials are working on land acquisition and infrastructure aspects of that effort.
The targeted area of redevelopment that includes the Radisson also includes Park Center, an office complex that has been largely vacant. Earlier this year, Park Center was put up for auction, but Geolas said there has been no change in ownership.
The redevelopment effort has been launched to try to make the business park more appealing to a future generation of businesses, and also to retain existing tenants.
"This is a new day for the foundation as we (move forward with) redevelopment," Geolas said. "We have to look at new models and opportunities that will allow us to reshape the park so it's more competitive and a global brand, this a way forward for that."

With the recent announcement by Google of Cloud DataFlow (intended as the successor to MapReduce) and with Cloudera now focusing on Spark for many of its projects, it looks like the days of MapReduce may be numbered. Although the change may seem sudden, it's been a long time coming. Google wrote the MapReduce white paper 10 years ago, and developers have been using at least one distribution of Hadoop for about 8 years. Users have had ample time to determine the strengths and weaknesses of MapReduce. However, the release of Hadoop 2.0 and YARN clearly indicated that users wanted to live in a more diverse Big Data world.
Earlier versions of Hadoop could be described as MapReduce + HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) because that was the paradigm that everything Hadoop revolved around. Because users clamored for interactive access to Hadoop data, the Hive and Pig projects were started. And even though you could write SQL queries with Hive and script in Pig Latin with Pig, under the covers Hadoop was still running MapReduce jobs. That all changed in Hadoop 2.0 with the introduction of YARN. YARN became the resource manager for a Hadoop cluster that broke the dependence between MapReduce and HDFS. Although HDFS still remained as the file system, MapReduce became just another application that can interface with Hadoop through YARN. This change made it possible for other applications to now run on Hadoop through YARN.
Google is not known as a backer in the mold of Hortonworks or Cloudera with the open source Hadoop ecosystem. After all, Google was running its own versions of MapReduce and HDFS (the Google File System) on which these open-source projects are based. Because they are integral parts of Google's internal applications, Google has the most experience with using these technologies. And although Cloud DataFlow is specifically for use on the Google cloud and appears more like a competitor to Amazon's Kinesis product, Google is very influential in Big Data circles, so I can see other developers following Google's lead and leveraging a similar technology in favor of MapReduce.
Although Google's Cloud DataFlow may have a thought leadership-type impact, Cloudera's decision to leverage Spark as the standard processing engine for its projects (in particular, Hive) will have a greater impact on open-source Big Data developers. Cloudera has one of the most popular Hadoop distributions on the market and has partnered with Databricks, Intel, MapR, and IBM to work on their Spark integration with Hive. This trend is surprising given Cloudera's investment in Impala (its SQL query engine), but the company clearly feels that Spark is the future. As little as a year ago, Spark was mostly seen as fast in-memory computing for machine learning algorithms. However with its promotion to an Apache Top-Level Project in February 2014 and its backing company Databricks receiving $33 million in Series B funding, Spark clearly has greater ambitions. The advent of YARN made it much easier to tie Spark to the growing Hadoop ecosystem. Cloudera's decision to leverage Spark in Hive and other projects makes it even more important to users of the CDH distribution.

Neo-Nazi Groups Use Traditional Folk Music Festivals to Recruit Radicals
Aryan Family Values
Not every event built along the lines of Gliebe's cultural festivals is really intended to bring whites of all stripes into the movement. Such was the case with the 2nd Annual Folk Fest, an event put on last March in West Palm Beach, Fla., by neo-Nazi Steven Watt, a principal of the tiny South Florida Aryan Alliance. Aiding Watt was Alex Hassinger, editor of Nordland, formerly Aryan Loyalist Magazine.
The come-on was straightforward enough: "Celebrate your rich European heritage with us!" the organizers wrote several E-groups. "We will feature European music, food and drink." Included, along with a playground and crayons for the kids, would be a "hammer-lifting competition" and a live bagpiper, they promised.
But it was hardly a family-friendly recruiting event.
Walking up to the Osceola Pavilion of West Palm Beach's Okeehelee State Park, the first thing a visitor noticed were the police cruisers and photographers circling the site. Flags representing some 50 European countries fluttered in the breeze — along with Confederate battle flags, flags, a banner bearing the insignia of the neofascist German NPD party, and another saying "Friends of Germany."
The crowd was fairly frightening. Neo-Nazi Skinheads and others from the South Florida Aryan Alliance, the World Church of the Creator, the Orion Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the Imperial Klans of America attended — about 40 large, tough-looking men, accompanied by a handful of women who huddled together with half a dozen kids at a picnic table.
At one point, when a news photographer tried to approach, he was surrounded by menacing Skinheads, and Watt seized his flash unit. Only when the photographer complained to police was Watt forced to return it.
A little later, a young man named Jason, from Daytona Beach, gave an extremely aggressive, red-faced speech, shouting about the importance of Darwin, being strong, killing off the weak, and taking on the Jews immediately. At the end, he led a series of Nazi salutes in which the crowd enthusiastically joined.
On sale in the pavilion was an array of hard-line materials: books by former Klansman David Duke and Richard Kelly Hoskins, an ideologue of the virulently anti-Semitic Christian Identity theology; CDs of violent white power music; copies of a White Aryan Resistance newsletter; and issues of Thule: A Prisoner's Journal, with profits going to imprisoned members of the terrorist group The Order.
It was clear that outsiders were not welcome. But that is not to say that the event served no purpose — on the contrary, for some it was an affirming moment in a movement that has not had much to boast about recently. Several people discussed the sorry state of white supremacy in the United States, but said they had been pulled back into the movement by the promise of "family events" like this one. One person expressed dismay at the drunkenness and disorganization of earlier meetings.
Several participants paid homage to William Pierce, saying the late Alliance leader had been a great man with important ideas about celebrating European culture in a family-friendly way. But they were far less sure about Erich Gliebe, who has been widely criticized from within the Alliance and the movement generally.
Ultimately, several speakers talked about celebrating "white" culture. And a man who identified himself as Steve Geller proposed organizing several cultural groups — German-American, Celtic-American and Scandinavian-American, among others — that would each create their own folk festivals. Somehow, these groups would be knit into what Geller termed the "Congress of a Celtic Land."
To Steven Watt, it was all an unmitigated success: "The event was a family event and seeing the smiling faces of the children as they played in the playground next door just helped bring home why we are fighting the fight we are — in order to give them a good White world when it is their time to pick up the torch."
The Culture Wars
It is not clear how effective the strategy of using "culture" to approach and entice ethnic whites is for the radical right. But what does seem clear is that up until recently, extremist recruiting tactics have targeted rebellious youths and people who already hold relatively similar views. Rarely has a strategy come to the fore that aims directly at everyday, working white people.
Pierce and Gliebe's cultural festivals try to do that work. And if Pierce was even close to correct in his estimates — if Alliance workers have been able to sign up almost 10% of those who attend — then the technique must be judged a success.
Plainly, other groups have taken an interest. A number of neo-Confederates, including one-time League of the South director Grady McWhiney, have taken their own message — that the American South is fundamentally an "Anglo-Celtic" land — to the Scottish Highland Games that are popular around the United States.
That very unsophisticated and thuggish groups like the South Florida Aryan Alliance are trying to emulate the technique shows that to many, it appears to have great promise. Just this June, talk of a summer 2004 European heritage rally in Washington began.
But to Peter Haworth, it all remains something of a mystery. "The whole thing was extremely uncomfortable and scary," he recalled. "I never could understand exactly why they wanted a Celtic band. I guess it's because we're white."

In essence, a Roth IRA conversion
last year would have moved a client's
investment assets from highly taxed to
potentially untaxed territory (all withdrawals are tax-free after the owner
has had the Roth IRA for more than
five years and is at least age 59½).
Of course, a full or partial Roth IRA
conversion may not be suitable for
every client. But it is a conversation
worth having with high-income clients, even if rates have just gone up,
so clients are aware of their options
and the tax consequences.
The 3.8% surtax affects trusts and
estates as well as individual taxpayers. The calculation is a bit different,
trust income in excess of about
will be taxed at the highestordinary rate.
gross income far below $250,000
or even $200,000.
EXAMPLE: TRUST INCOMEA woman died last year and left her$1million IRA to a trust. Her daugh-ter is the trust beneficiary. Assumethe trust qualifies as a see-throughtrust and that required minimum dis-and such income may be taxed atextremely high rates.
EXAMPLE: bIg DEDUCTIONS
What if your client has large itemized
deductions, so large that they reduce
though. For estates and trusts, the
3.8% surtax applies to the lesser of
( 1) any undistributed net investment
income or ( 2) the amount of modified
adjusted gross income subject to the
top tax rate for estates and trusts.
Trust income in excess of about
$12,000 will be taxed at the highest
ordinary rate, which was scheduled
to be 39.6% for this year. Undistributed net investment income is net
investment income (interest and
dividends) that is earned by the trust
in a given year and not passed out to
trust beneficiaries within the same
accounting period.
Some clients want to leave IRAs
to a trust, perhaps to prevent the
beneficiaries from squandering or
mishandling this inheritance. Therefore, the 3.8% surtax could affect
some clients with modified adjusted
tributions are to be taken by the trust
over the daughter's life expectancy.
If the daughter is 57 in 2013, her life
expectancy is 27. 9 years. Therefore,
the trustee must withdraw at least
1/27.9 of the $1 million inherited IRA
balance in 2013, or $35,842.
Now imagine that the trustee
has the discretion to retain any or
all of the inherited IRA distribution
in the trust and dole out funds to
the daughter as needed. In this scenario, since the required minimum
distribution alone, if undistributed,
would push the trust income over
the trust modified adjusted gross
income threshold, all of the trust's
net investment income will be subject to the 3.8% surtax.
As time goes by and money in thetrust accumulates, more investmentincome is likely to be generated,taxable income substantially? Will thatreduce his modified adjusted grossincome for the 3.8% surtax?
Ed Slott, a CPA in Rockville Centre,

contributing writer and an IRA distribution
expert, professional speaker and author of several books on IRAs.

My friend, a retired police officer, tells me that Walla Walla has a tank -- he calls it an APC. I am concerned that the militarization of our police is not making us more safe, but less.
Our local police "lost" almost a hundred sticks of TNT and other explosives from their war games locker and that doesn't make me feel safe.
I read that last year in Kennewick one of these "Battle Units" with an armored personnel carrier full of body-armored, heavy-weapon-toting "troops" laid siege for hours to an apartment complex there, choking the dozens of innocent families cowering in their apartments with tear gas as they dodged the bullets which passed through their walls.
This because they wanted the "bad guys" holed up there. I am pretty sure the people in that apartment complex think the police are a lot more dangerous than the guy in B13.
I don't want to live in Fallujah. This can't possibly be what we want our "peace oficers" to be, can it?

Scott also impressed the city council.
"He seemed like a very intelligent guy, and he had a lot of ideas," says Deletra Hudson, the city manager of East St. Louis, whose office Scott often visited during his riverfront dealings.
Scott told the city he had the ability to convince other big-time investors like himself to come in and pour development money all over the East St. Louis riverfront, despite the fact that the shoreline has been an unsolved riddle for the past 40 years.
Parts of the riverfront are federally owned, others lie in the hands of private landowners, which means attempts to develop broad swaths would involve negotiations with several actors — if they'd even be interested. Moreover, some of the riverfront tracts have unclear land titles that could spiral into nasty lawsuits for developers. Then there's the unsightly grain elevator directly across the river from the Gateway Arch. It sustains 300 precious jobs that the city doesn't want to see leave. Finally, there's the question of infrastructure: East St. Louis doesn't have it.
"If Coca-Cola wanted to relocate to East St. Louis tomorrow, it couldn't do it," says Andrew Theising, a political-science professor at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and an expert on East St. Louis. "The streets couldn't support the traffic, the sewers couldn't support the volume, and I have serious doubt if the electrical grid and communication infrastructure could handle a large industrial user."
Yet to Parks and other East St. Louis officials, perhaps all the city's riverfront needed was a fresh perspective.
"Maybe there is a guy who's 25 years old who really has got some ideas about how the acquisition of these properties can be done and who could lead us to the land of milk and honey," Parks explains. "Why not? Nothing else had worked until that point."
After just a few meetings with city leaders, the council voted unanimously in December 2009 to give Scott exclusive acquisition rights to the East St. Louis riverfront. The six-month deal would have Scott pump upward of $30 million into the area through his own company, ACI Capital. Once the money was delivered, the city would employ him as its financial manager for three years at an annual salary of $300,000.
Matt Hawkins, president of the Civic Alliance, a budget-watchdog group in East St. Louis, couldn't believe it. Hawkins had been warning the city council for several weeks that they really didn't know Scott like they thought they did.
Before getting the rights to the East St. Louis riverfront, Scott applied for TIF (tax increment financing) money from the city. Approximately 30 percent of the East St. Louis' general fund is tied up in TIF grants, which can only be used for specified projects, such as development.
But Hawkins, a thorn in the side of East St. Louis politicians for his constant calls for transparency (at the time of writing, he has pending lawsuits against the city demanding that it disclose budget details), got ahold of Scott's TIF applications and looked into his background. He couldn't confirm a single thing.
"Usually we can verify a person as bad, accurate or inaccurate. But when you can't verify anything, that's a sign of fraud," Hawkins says. "We made formal complaints to the city council asking that it not to do business with him and said as much in city-council meetings," he adds.
But the council ignored Hawkins and Civic Alliance's warnings and even expedited the vetting process. Whereas Hawkins says most city contracts take a couple of months to broker, Scott's deal was pushed through within a few weeks.
"Where did this guy come from?" asks Hawkins, who remains in disbelief five years later. "Scott was supposed to be from Wall Street. But they don't talk about East St. Louis on Wall Street. And not only did he get here, but he got the royal treatment. They don't do that for everybody."
According to Mayor Parks, Illinois state representative Eddie Lee Jackson, then a member of the East St. Louis City Council, is the one who brought Scott into the fold.
"This is a young man with ideas who you should listen to," Parks recalls Jackson telling him.
Parks says he doesn't know how Jackson and Scott met each other.
"Maybe Scott was a relative or something — I don't know," speculates the mayor.
Despite repeated calls, Jackson refused to comment for this story. Regardless of his connection to Jackson, the question remains: Why would city officials be so eager to enter into a deal with a man whose references didn't check out?
Whatever the case, the Scott deal was supposed to be a secret. Once Hawkins started snooping around, word got out. In January 2010 the Belleville News-Democrat broke the story about the virtually unknown Scott who had been given rights to the East St. Louis riverfront.
When reporter Carolyn Smith asked Parks to comment for the article, the mayor replied: "It's unfortunate that somebody has provided that information to you. That was supposed to be confidential information."
Five months later — in May 2010 — Scott would get much more favorable press when Ebony named him to the magazine's "Top 30 Under 30" list, profiling America's 30 most successful and up-and-coming black artists and entrepreneurs. In the story, Scott is praised for going from a homeless child to the millionaire CEO of ACI Capital by the age of 25.

Eight days before, Poteau softball pitcher Brenna Vise threw a perfect game against the Howe Lady Lions in the winner's-bracket quarterfinals of the 2011 LeFlore County Fast-Pitch Tournament.
Monday afternoon, Vise, who had not pitched since the Howe game, returned to the pitcher's circle and was "pitcher" perfect once more. Vise faced 18 batters, the minimum in a six-inning game, and struck out nine of them en route to an 8-0, six-inning, run-rule victory over the Sallisaw Lady Black Diamonds.
There was a partial repeat for the Poteau High School cross country teams in their second annual Poteau Pirate Invitational, which took place Saturday morning at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex.
The Lady Pirates repeated as team champion with 29 points, with the other local team, Heavener, coming in second with 44 points.
It's hard to believe that the postseason for all of LeFlore County's fast-pitch softball teams (except Poteau) and fall baseball teams has arrived. It just seemed like the season started just a couple of weeks ago.
But the reality is the playoffs in Classes 3A, 2A, A and B in fast-pitch softhball and Classes A and B in fall baseball will begin this week with district tournaments.
The complete district-tournament schedules are at the end of this column.
A Clerical Error
I would like to think of myself as perfect, but in reality only God and Jesus are perfect.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Anyone who saw Saturday night's Troy-Arkansas game at Frank Broyles Field at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium may have felt like it was two separate games.
In the first half, the Razorbacks (3-0) looked like world beaters. They scored on their first four possessions of the first half en route to a 24-0 lead by the 6:41 mark of the second period.

Best Used For:
In addition to removing bones from chicken, duck, steaks and fish, we also love using this boning knife to slice off skin and cartilage during the preparation stage. It's ideal for separating the thin layer of skin from the meat of a pork or lamb loin, and we even occasionally use it to slice and remove the pits from mangoes.
- Thin design lets you cut close to the bone to minimize waste
- Triple-riveted handle prevents the blade from twisting or shifting during use
- The blade is cut from a single piece of steel to ensure strength

Obama Calls for Additional Revenue
|Posted by Michael Judson on February 4, 2013 at 2:50 AM
On February 3rd our great leader (insert sarcasm here) has called for closing tax loopholes. This is exactly what Speaker of the House Boehner called for during the fiscal negotiations. President O demanded that we raise tax rates instead. Now Obama wants to close loopholes on top of the tax rate increase. No matter how you look at it this amounts to a tax increase. Any tax increase will take monies out of the private sector and give them to the government. We have all seen the waste in government programs. The government mismanages everything they put their hand in. It is so easy to spend someone else's money. We have heard it before, "This tax will not affect the middle class." Do we still believe that?
Whether you want to call it supply side economics or Reaganomics, the process of letting people keep there own money has been shown to stimulate the economy. Thnk about it. If you work for a business owner that makes one million dollars after taxes and the government closes loopholes that in turn lower his income to eight hundred thousand a year his lifestyle will not change. He will still take vacations with his family; he will still drive a new car, and he will still contribute to his retirement accounts. So what will change? The people who work for him will have to make sacrifices, whether it comes in layoffs, additional contributions to medical insurance or elimination of 401k matches. The bottom line is when ever money comes out of the private sector and goes to the public sector it is the working class people who suffer.
By allowing corporations to keep more of their money essentially stops them from outsourcing a lot of their jobs. You read everyday about companies closing and moving overseas. You can not blame these companies or their stockholders. These companies are in the business in making money and if you punish their success they will find a new way to turn a profit.
This doesn't seam to difficult but our elected officials can not get it right. I feel that a lot of the reason that politicians can not figure it out is because as soon as they get elected, their primary focus turns to getting re-elected. That brings me to my next issue… look for it later in the week… term limits
