Men's Basketball Hangs On For 72-71 Win Over Seton Hall
OMAHA, Neb. - Doug McDermott had 19 of his game-high 29 points in the second half, moving into 10th on the NCAA's all-time scoring charts, to help No. 11 Creighton hold off Seton Hall in a 72-71 game before 18,742 fans at CenturyLink Center Omaha on Sunday evening.
McDermott had 29 points on 8-of-14 field goal attempts, including 12-of-16 at the line, but missed two free throws with 21.0 left and Creighton up three. After Seton Hall's Fuquan Edwin made two free throws with 8.2 left to make it a one-point game, Creighton's Ethan Wragge was fouled with 4.0 left. Wragge, like McDermott one of the best shooters in CU history, also missed both foul shots to give Seton Hall one last chance. But without a timeout, all Seton Hall could manage was a turn-around 40-footer from Edwin as time expired that bounced off the glass and gave CU its 17th straight home win.
Creighton improved to 23-4 on the year and moved back into sole possession of first place in the BIG EAST with a 13-2 conference record. Seton Hall lost its fourth league game by one point this year and fell to 14-13 (5-9 BIG EAST).
Seton Hall gave Creighton its toughest test of the season at home, leading much of the first half before a Grant Gibbs trey in the waning seconds gave the hosts a 38-36 halftime edge. Gibbs and McDermott both had 10 points in the first half for CU, helping offset a 17-9 rebounding advantage for Seton Hall.
McDermott's 29 points vaulted him into 10th place on the NCAA's all-time scoring list with 2,917 career points, three more than Alfredrick Hughes. Next on the list is Kansas great Danny Manning (2,951) and Cincinnati legend Oscar Robertson (2,973).
In addition to 29 from McDermott, fellow senior Gibbs added a season-best 16 points, including a career-high three baskets from three-point land. Overall the Bluejays made 22-of-43 shots (51.2 percent), including 8-of-15 three-pointers (53.3 percent) and 20-of-31 free throws (64.5 percent).
Seton Hall was paced by 21 points from Edwin, one of four Pirates in double-figures. Eugene Teague had 14 points and 11 reobunds, Patrik Auda had 12 points and Brandon Mobley added 11 points. The Pirates shot 48.1 percent for the game, including 7-of-17 three-pointers, and also sank 14-of-15 free throws. SHU outrebounded CU 34-20 in the contest, converting 10 offensive rebounds into 15 second-chance points.
Creighton returns to action on Saturday when it plays at Xavier in a 4:07 pm Central tip-off.
NOTES: Creighton has yet to trail in the second half of any of its 17 straight home wins ...Creighton has won 32 straight games when leading with five minutes left and 28 straight when leading at halftime ...Doug McDermott has scored 25 or more points in seven straight games, upping his nation-best scoring average to 26.0 points per game ...Doug McDermott hadn't missed consecutive free throws in the same trip since March 2, 2012, shooting 413 attempts at the line in between 0-for-2 trips ...Austin Chatman had five assists, moving into 10th in CU history with 334 in his career ...Today was Creighton's first game decided by one point since the 58-57 win over Alabama in the 2012 NCAA Tournament ...Creighton improved to 9-4 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha in games decided by one point, including seven straight wins ...Creighton's 17 straight wins at the CenturyLink Center Omaha are most in facility history ...The crowd of 18,742 was third-largest in school history for a home game.

Latest on R.A. Dickey: Mets increase offer, could accelerate trade talks
The Mets have fielded six or seven calls from teams that would like to meet at the Winter Meetings and discuss trading for R.A. Dickey, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
While both Dickey and the Mets have attempted to workout a contract extension, Heyman says, Sandy Alderson has been given clearance to pursue trading Dickey.
"There have been trade talks starting about a month ago, but they may accelerate now, provided Dickey doesn't lower his demands soon. The Mets will seek a catcher and outfield help in any trade," Heyman explains.
Heyman says the Royals have shown interest in Dickey, but would prefer to trade a younger package of prospects to acquire him as opposed to dealing top outfield prospect Wil Myers.
Myers, who will be 22 on Opening Day, hit a combined .314 with a .600 SLG, 37 home runs and 109 RBI and 140 strikeouts between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha in 2012. He has not yet played in the Major Leagues.
In a post to his blog for ESPN, Buster Olney says the Mets have increased their offer to R.A. Dickey, although it is not known if it's close to what Dickey is seeking.
According to Olney, the Mets were "stunned" by the $12 million contract Andy Pettitte and the Yankees agreed to earlier this week.
On Tuesday, Dickey told reporters the Mets had made a formal offer and he had countered, but he had not heard back from the team as of yet at that point.
If a new extension is not signed by the Winter Meetings, Dickey said he intended to personally sit in on negotiations. However, as of yesterday, there were so such plans a meeting in Nashville, Brian Costa of the Wall Street Journal said on Twitter.
Yesterday, MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone said people in baseball believe Dickey can be locked up for the next three years for around $25 million, "The Mets haven't pulled the trigger, so I assume this means they're still listening to offers for trades from other teams."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterDec. 1, 6:55 pm: Initially, I heard Dickey was seeking at least a three- or four-year extension, but I never got clarity on if that includes next year's option or not. WFAN's Mike Francesa reported hearing something similar, as well. However, there have also been plenty of reports suggesting Dickey would accept a two-year extension. So, who knows where this is at…
In regards to trades, it's very simple, the Mets are open to trading Dickey or Jon Niese to get a young, major-league, right-handed ready bat, either to play in the outfield or behind the plate. If this can happen, one of the two will be moved. If it can't, they won't, and instead they'll look to sign a mid-tier free agent to fill the void in the outfield, and likely pick up a catcher that was recently non-tendered. The other day I speculated that the Royals, D-Backs, Blue Jays and Angels all have interest in Niese, and maybe Dickey, considering reports linking them to similar targets. But, it seems to be a buyer's market, because there are free agents and other young pitchers out there available in trade.
Michael Baron, Contributor
Dec. 1, 6:55 pm: If the Mets can get Myers for Dickey, the unemotional side of me says it's a no-brainer. Andy Martino of the Daily News recently said the Mets are seeking a "monster package" in return for Dickey. A package around Myers fits the profile of such a package. But I understand why the Royals might be hesitant to deal a 22-year-old top prospect for a 38-year-old pitcher, even though that pitcher is the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner. That's not meant to be a knock on Dickey – he has been tremendous, but it's simple baseball sense for the Royals to not trade what could be a tremendous part of their long-term future for an aging pitcher. If they would consider dealing Myers, I would expect the Royals to be seeking young (and quality) insurance along with Dickey if they saw the Mets as a match.
Dec. 1, 12:02 pm: It makes sense for the Mets to spend the early part of the meetings trying to gauge Dickey's trade value before re-engaging in talks. They will reportedly not trade Dickey if they sign him to an extension, and so they should see how the market develops before they try and lock him up. A lot could be determined by where Zack Greinke signs, assuming he gets a deal done this week. The teams who lose out on the Greinke sweepstakes could conceivably turn to the Mets for one of their pitchers, creating a strong market which didn't necessarily exist before.

I have 2 sobriety dates: 05/03/91 and 05/09/2005; did 5 yrs of research from 02/2000 to 05/2005.
I learned when a relapes starts (before the first drink). Don't take my medicine (12 steps) on a daily basis, the rationalization will kick in and convince me since I feel good and haven't practiced the principles and still not drinking I must not be an alcoholic. Then one day the insanity sets in and I place myself defenseless against the first drink.
I took my sobriety for granted and grew complacent. I'm back now, pretty well beaten up. My life is once again improving with the help of my HP and the influence of the AA Fellowship.
I have a whole new attitude today and am reminded of my number one priority - MY SOBRIETY.
Thank you for being here.
What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. BB, pg 85

|Local Physician Brings High Tech Lung Surgery Technique to High Country
|Written by Administrator
|Monday, 12 February 2007 14:00
A local physician has received specialized training that enables him to
provide a new surgical solution for High Country residents fighting
lung cancer. Dr. Tim Edmisten, a thoracic surgeon with the Watauga
Surgical Group in Boone has completed a one-year fellowship in London.
The Fellowship focused on advanced thoracic techniques, including a
procedure called the thoracoscopic lobectomy. The surgery involves
manipulating a video telescope and small instruments through small
incisions on the side of the chest in order to remove the portion of
the lung containing cancer. This technique spares muscles and ribs, so
patients experience less pain, less time in the hospital, and a faster
recovery. The procedure is typically used for those in earlier stages
of lung cancer where the primary tumor is confined to one lobe of the
lung. The technique can also be used on other parts of the body.

Douglas Kmiec Responds to Marty Lederman
Guest Blogger
Douglas Kmiec
I interpret Prof. Kmiec's email to indicate his support for kicking puppies, and his eagerness to cheat on his wife whenever he sees fit.
He may disagree, but if so, it's merely a matter of disagreement over interpretation.
Because judging from his email, he would agree with me that there's really no sense in discussion whether competing interpretations are more or less well-founded.
Differences are differences, all views are equally valid, and the truth is merely a tale agreed upon.
Elvis, thank you for your excellent comment.
kmiec: "I tried to post the comment somewhere on the Bakinization site, but not sure whether I did so successfully"
Kmiec's first attempt did indeed appear successfully, here.
I'm going to take the liberty of responding to his repost with a repost of my response to his first post. Clear?
Prof. Kmiec,
"I think it important that good men like him not feel the necessity to resign over interpretative disagreement"
What's your basis for claiming that all that was at issue here was an "interpretative disagreement?" We know almost nothing about the program that Comey rejected, or why he rejected it. Is your claim based on knowledge of facts that are not available to the rest of us?
Comey presumably had detailed information about the program he rejected. You presumably do not. His behavior is not the behavior of a person troubled by a mere "interpretative disagreement" (or "spat," as you called it in your column, which means "petty quarrel"). His behavior is the behavior of a person troubled by something larger than that. He was close to the facts (regarding the specific program he rejected). You're not, as far as I can tell. Therefore, how can you know what motivated him, and how can you know that what motivated him was merely an "interpretative disagreement?"
"I still believe the President's authority for the terrorist surveillance program is a closer question than he [Tamanaha] apparently does."
Same problem. Comey knew what Bush was doing for those first 30 months (pre-pancreatitis). The rest of us (including you, presumably) do not. Therefore what's your basis for making claims about the 'closeness' of the question? Your claim seems to be essentially this: I know it's legal, even though I don't know what "it" is.
"were it not a close question for Mr. Comey as well, I do not understand how, after meeting with the President, he could modify the surveillance program to eliminate his stated legal objection … mere tinkering … would not be capable of obviating the legitimate statutory concerns."
You're raising a very interesting question, which is this: what was done to satisfy Comey's concerns? Was there just some "tinkering," or was the old program scrapped and a new one created in its place? The answer, obviously, is the latter. That's plain from Gonzales' testimony (2/6/06): "I do not believe that these DOJ officials that you're identifying had concerns about this program" (excerpt, full transcript). He also said "there has not been any serious disagreement about the program that the president has confirmed."
If the program "the president has confirmed" was the same program Comey had rejected, but simply with some "tinkering" applied to it (and this is essentially the scenario you promote in your writings), then Gonzales was plainly lying to claim that "there has not been any serious disagreement" about this program. Gonzales' statement can be considered truthful only if we understand that the old program was scrapped and replaced by a new one. And this is at odds with your claim that all that was at stake was a minor "interpretative disagreement."
If all that was at stake was a minor "interpretative disagreement," then a sober professional like Comey (along with Ashcroft, Goldsmith, Mueller and others, apparently) would not have threatened to resign. Likewise, if all that was at stake was a minor "interpretative disagreement," it would not have been necessary to scrap the old program and create a new one, which is apparently what was done, according to Gonzales' testimony.
"I speculate, but do not know, that Mr. Gonzales had reached the conclusion that this extraordinary contact with Mr. Ashcroft was necessary because an interruption in the on-going terrorist surveillance effort would seriously jeopardize the security of the nation"
Are you claiming that the FISA court was expected to refuse to grant warrants to support this "on-going terrorist surveillance effort," even though an interruption "would seriously jeopardize the security of the nation?" Was there a concern that whatever offended Comey, Ashcroft, Goldsmith and Mueller would equally offend the FISA court? Are you suggesting that doing things the old-fashioned way, with warrants, "would seriously jeopardize the security of the nation" even if it was done only for a few days, or long enough for Ashcroft to come out of his post-surgical sedation?
"he intended to ascertain whether Mr. Ashcroft concurred"
If Gonzales' problem was that he didn't know whether Comey had Ashcroft's support, then why not simply ask Comey? If Comey was considered trustworthy enough to be DAG, wouldn't he also be considered trustworthy enough to provide a straight answer to such a question?
"the program could well have been interrupted in a fashion that those concerned with gaps in terrorist intercepts would find to be an unacceptable risk for the country"
It's hard to imagine why anything would need to be "interrupted," unless the FISA court would refuse to grant warrants. Why would they do so? I guess the answer to that question would also answer this question: what was being done that was so egregious that it motivated Comey et al to threaten to head for the exits?
"it is difficult to outline legal argument without partisanship obstructing constructive dialog"
In my opinion, here's what "constructive dialog" would look like: serious answers to the questions I've raised (which I am not alone in raising, needless to say). Such answers are pointedly absent from your writings on this subject, and similar writings.
Sorry, but my eyes glaze over when I begin reading the almost Talmudic hairsplitting engaged in by apologists for some nefarious deed or other. Where's Nancy Grace when you need her?
In this case, the medium really does become the message, if by "medium" one means the convoluted form of the message.
This isn't moot court, Prof. Kmiec. Please say what you mean plainly.
"he intended to ascertain whether Mr. Ashcroft concurred"
If Gonzales' problem was that he didn't know whether Comey had Ashcroft's support, then why not simply ask Comey? If Comey was considered trustworthy enough to be DAG, wouldn't he also be considered trustworthy enough to provide a straight answer to such a question?
Let me just add to this a point jukeboxgrad has made elsewhere: Gonzales manifestly did NOT merely want to know if Ashcroft agreed. Gonzales came to the hospital with a document and a pen. He intended to get a signature. That signature, of course, would have been obtained from a person who was not the Attorney General at that point in time. And it would have been obtained under duress. That's appalling.
Here, I did think Mr. Comey's testimony was "histrionic" -- that is, "of a theatrical quality." This does not mean I disbelieve his recounting of the scene, I just think the sirened arrival at the hospital, breathless rush up the stairs, and Ashcroft's rising from the bed, and so forth, was vividly re-told.
Excuse me, but so what? The narrative is undisputed, and the facts were inherently dramatic. So recounting those facts was, too. I actually found Comey's delivery to be measured, deliberate and unemotional.
Yes, it made for compelling testimony. This is a good thing, and we should be glad that the telling has grabbed the attention of some part of the lay public that has been lulled by the complex but enormously important legal issues at stake: The president has ordered what was facially a large-scale violation of criminal statutes, and the only justification ever offered has been his lawyers' argument that the statue didn't really apply. It turns out even that disinegenous excuse is not so clear-cut. (We don't even know the scope of whatever egregious acts occurred before March 2004 and apparently then were discontinued upon threat of resignation of the whole top tier of DOJ and the FBI.)
Kmiec would have us think this is all just an "interpretive" dispute in good faith among lawyers, and suggests that FISA's constitutional foundation is flawed.
If the president wants to make that case, let him make it in court, and get this mess settled. But Bush's entire strategy has been to avoid judicial review, while political surrogates blow smoke outside of court. That strategy continues to this day. So I lost all respect for that posturing a long time ago.
When Kmiec signs an op-ed calling on the president to seek forthright judicial review of the legal merits of warrantless surveillance, I will take his "good-faith" plea seriously. Until then, his apologetic shows him to be no better than a partisan tool.

"dislike and distrust of either the President or Mr. Gonzales or both has become so intense, that it is difficult to outline legal argument without partisanship obstructing constructive dialog."
Whether the President and Mr. Gonzales are honest is an important part of the discussion. Many arguments defending the administration make every assumption in favor of the administration when history has shown that administration officials have repeatedly mislead the public.
In a similar vein, it is hard to "outline legal argument" when one must "suspect" what it is our government is doing that would make Republican partisans consider resigning. Mr. Kmiec "suspects" the best, despite acknowledging "gratuitous and indeterminate presidential power claims." Whether the administration is honest is necessarily at the center of any debate over these secret programs.
Bush administration apologists often trot out the argument that somehow personal dislike clouds the reasoning abilities of critics. Mr. Kmiec might hope his overly polite response shows what a rational person he is in comparison to the angry blogger. (And I hope he and his loved one's - surely kind and warmhearted people - live long happy lives.)
"To disagree over the interpretation of Constitution or statute, especially where that disagreement is consequential to the nation's well-being, is not to indulge in corrupt or venal behavior."
Unless, of course, one's course of conduct is decided prior to the "interpretation." Legal reasoning in this administration appears to start with a conclusion and work backwards to an "arguable" position. Such conduct -- from officials bound to faithfully execute the laws -- is corrupt and venal.
Douglas Kmiec writes: Overall, the purpose of my commentary was largely to raise a caution about the undifferentiated likening of a dispute over the extent of the president's war powers to distortions of the rule of law we know as Watergate. To disagree over the interpretation of Constitution or statute, especially where that disagreement is consequential to the nation's well-being, is not to indulge in corrupt or venal behavior.
This is the heart of Douglas Kmiec's original essay, and its the point on which I disagree with him most strongly. How exactly is the executive power grab orchestrated by this Administration different from that of the Nixon Administration in a way that should comfort the citizens of this country?
Douglas Kmiec writes: To disagree over the interpretation of Constitution or statute … is not to indulge in corrupt or venal behavior.
As I mentioned over at VC: it is indeed "corrupt or venal behavior" to promote a particular "interpretation of Constitution or statute" if that interpretation is patently bogus. The fact that lots of credible Republicans were ready to quit tends to create the impression that they were objecting to just such an interpretation.
This is essentially the point that many others have made, perhaps best of all by the appropriately acerbic elvis, the first commenter above.
I finally agree with jukeboxgrad. It is "corrupt or venal behavior" if that interpretation is patently bogus. Arguing infringement of the President's legitimate warpowers as unconstitutional (IMO) is not patently bogus.
Charles said: Arguing infringement of the President's legitimate warpowers as unconstitutional (IMO) is not patently bogus.
Do you mean to argue that FISA is unconstitutional? Not even the Bush Admin has gone that far. In fact, President Bush asked for and signed legislation amending FISA as part of the Patriot Act and thanked Congress for giving the Exec the tools necessary to gather intelligence on terrorists.
Any purported law (FISA included, even if Bush signed a change but later it was used as) infringing the President's legitimate warpowers, it is unconstitutional as applied. That may be based on changed circumstances and the President's best judgment at the time, relying of course on OLC, NSC, and everything else at his disposal. During war, especially, I don't think it is incumbant upon the President to voluntarily "test" his constitutional judgment or even comply with the Supreme Court -- Lincoln didn't -- does that answer your question?
It is refreshing, and of course a little scary, to read Charles' candid comment. In his view, bayonets simply trump the rule of law.
He is wrong. Which is why Kmiec's attempt to paint this as a gentlemen's legal disagreement is so dangerous.
I call 'em like I see 'em -- and, I never said "bayonets simply trump the rule of law" -- perhaps the gentlemen's legal disagreement relates to what warpowers are "legitimate" then?
Charles: ...perhaps the gentlemen's legal disagreement relates to what warpowers are "legitimate" then?
Since you deny the necessity, and even the ultimate legitimacy, of judicial review, and claim an absolute right for presidents even to defy the Supreme Court, the precise nature of the question matters little.
ou seem to forget that I was fine with Clinton being impeached and removed from office for perjury -- rule of law, and everything ; )
...but not fine with Scooter Libby being convicted for perjury and obstruction of justice.
The rule of law is not a matter of political convenience.
Agreed. There no legitimate argument to be made that Clinton "honestly forgot" touching Lewinsky's breasts.
...and a jury of his peers found beyond a reasonable doubt that Scooter Libby did not honestly forget.
By the way, I don't recall President Clinton ever claiming that he forgot anything. My recollection is that his defense was based on parsing language in a way that was strained, but probably sufficient to avoid a perjury conviction.
Perhaps, during the Clinton years, I should have been more concerned about protecting the rule of law even when the misleading answer arose from a question that ought never have been asked. I suspect that I argued positions during that time that may now embarrass me by conflicting with my current positions.
If so, I suggest that there is a lesson in my failures for you. The end of this Administration is on the horizon, and I have cause to be optimistic about the results of the next Presidential election. You may wish to take care that your current positions do not conflict with those you may wish to take in the near future.
Regardless, as we agree, protecting the rule of law ought to transcend partisan politics. The same should be said for protecting the appropriate checks and balances in our government. We should be able to agree that Congress ought not make tactical or strategic decisions about the conduct of ongoing military operations but Congress, as the most democratic branch of government, ought to make broad policy decisions about the conduct of war and the extent to which the government should be able to invade our personal lives in the interests of national security or otherwise. We also ought to agree that, in order to ensure this balance, the Executive Branch needs to be vigilantly overseen by the Legislative Branch with conflicts decided by the Judicial.
Any purported law (FISA included, even if Bush signed a change but later it was used as) infringing the President's legitimate warpowers, it is unconstitutional as applied.
Youngstown says differently. Youngstown is still the law.
Oh, I love Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer. That being said, I also loved Scalia and Thomas's dissent in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld pointing out that President Bush's decision to try Hamdan before a military commission "is entitled to a heavy measure of deference," inasmuch as Congress had authorized the President to use all necessary and appropriate force to prevent future acts of terrorism when it passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force. Nonetheless, Congress closed that particular loophole. Checkmate.
Why, Senor Quixote, of course. To the tilt now with you, there's fair maidens to rescue....
charles: "Arguing infringement of the President's legitimate warpowers as unconstitutional (IMO) is not patently bogus."
You (and the rest of the gang, like Kmiec) tediously avoid the central question, which is this: what were Comey et al so upset about? Bush was doing something they thought he shouldn't do. They felt so strongly about this that they threatened to resign, to get him to stop. So he stopped. But stopped what?
Let's say all he had been doing was exercise "legitimate warpowers." That's your claim. Do Comey, Ashcroft and Mueller strike you as the kind of commie moonbats who would threaten to resign in order to prevent POTUS from exercising "legitimate warpowers?" Sorry, that makes no sense.
And if Bush was just exercising "legitimate warpowers," then why did he stop? He should have let the moonbats resign. Just imagine the long-term damage he has done to the power of the CinC, by folding the way he did. He has established the following precedent: moonbats working for the president who object to his right to exercise "legitimate warpowers" can pressure him to stop exercising those "legitimate warpowers" simply by threatening to resign.
And if he didn't want them to resign, and he also wanted to continue to exercise his "legitimate warpowers," he had other solutions: either use warrants, or change the law. Let's assume (although we don't know for sure) that FISA was the law that Comey was insisting be respected. But let's say Bush couldn't abide the constraints of FISA, and still keep our remaining skyscrapers upright. Then the answer is to change or repeal FISA. Bush's party was in control of congress. If the law is getting in the way of "legitimate warpowers," then why not fix the law? Or repeal it?
Let's review the four major choices Bush had in this dilemma:
A) Let the cowards resign. Full speed ahead. POTUS has a duty to exercise "legitimate warpowers," and to ignore laws he deems unconstitutional. Our safety demands no less.
B) There's no need for them to resign, and there's no need for POTUS to endanger us by failing to exercise his "legitimate warpowers." The solution is to do things the old-fashioned way, and get warrants from the highly-compliant FISA court.
C) There's no need for them to resign, and there's no need for POTUS to endanger us by failing to exercise his "legitimate warpowers." And there's no need to bother with warrants. The solution is for congress to change the law. Surely a GOP congress can and will swiftly crush any such unconstitutional law that seems clearly designed to help no one but terrorists.
D) Congress is resting, and we don't want to disturb their nap. We also don't want to bother the FISA court, since the weather today is perfect for golf. We also don't want Comey to resign. Therefore the best solution is to endanger the nation by neglecting to exercise our "legitimate warpowers." This POTUS doesn't mind submitting to an "infringement" of those powers. After all, so what if we lose a few more tall buildings? We can always build some more.
Once he realized that a bunch of people were about to resign, Bush chose D. Why?
Let's be clear about this: for roughly 30 months (we assume), Bush had been doing something he felt was necesary to protect us. He felt it was an exercise of "legitimate warpowers." He felt no one had a right to infringe on those powers. Yet he willingly gave some of those powers away, presumably exposing us to needless danger, even though A, B and C were all available to allow him to continue to protect us properly. This is pretty stunning.
Rejecting B and C tends to create the impression that Bush feared that FISA judges and GOP legislators would react to his "legitimate warpowers" the same way Comey did. This, in turn, tends to create the impression that Bush's "legitimate warpowers" weren't legitimate.
Several good questions, jukeboxgrad. Maybe someday, when it's safe, we will both KNOW what really happened.
You know, Charles, it doesn't work "well" that way. Finding out "after we are safe," that is. Being several years removed from Con Law, I will let the those more versed than me banter back and forth with you. Rather, I will present real world examples of why it is not opportune to hope that today's secrecy will not destroy tomorrow's freedom. As a child, I often visited Poland back in the 70s. Being a child, I didn't understand the import of the men in the dark sedans pacing us several times during our trips. I also didn't understand the import of why my father didn't travel with us when his last remaining parent passed away. I also didn't realize why they almost never called Poland, and when they did, they never said much other than they miss the food. I also didn't understand why the few letters we would receive were taped shut, and the few we sent never contained cash or anything other than season greetings.
Hysterical, perhaps you are thinking. Well, it actually happened. It won't happen here, you think? Why not? What makes you think that power does not affect people here just as much as it did in the Eastern Bloc.
Oh, by the way, in the past year my mom refuses to talk politics on the phone anymore, and shushes me if I mention "President Bush."
Beware tyranny. My ancient mother sees it taking root again...here.

LISBON Flackville Cemetery may be expanding in the near future if Dean Akins, president of the Flackville Cemetery Association, gets his way.
The cemetery, which still has between 600 and 700 empty plots, will need to expand within the next decade, Mr. Akins said at Mondays Town Council meeting.
Currently, Mr. Akins said, the cemetery is filling up roughly 20 plots per year.
Were not in a situation where we need it right now, Mr. Akins said, emphasizing that he wants to be able to plan for the future.
Making matters more complicated, the cemetery is surrounded by farm land and wetlands, meaning expansion will be difficult because the cemetery doesnt have enough money to purchase more property.
But Mr. Akins, who owns Five Mile Farms, recently purchased some of the land abutting the cemetery property on Cemetery Road.
We bought the corn ground all the way around it, and this land is with it, Mr. Akins said.
He said a swath of forest he owns that isnt being used for agriculture is right next to the cemetery.
Mr. Akins said he is going to have the land appraised and the bank wont let me give it away if its worth anything.
Mr. Akins purchased the land with a bank loan. But he is looking into ways to transfer some of property to the cemetery.
Mr. Akins told council members he wants the towns support in order to build a new road through the cemetery to provide access to any new plots that become available if he is able to transfer the land.
Im looking for grant money to build a new road for the cemetery that would be issued through the town, Mr. Akins said.
Our first thing is we have to figure out if the cemetery can even take the land, Councilman Nathanael Putney said.
Councilman Alan D. Dailey said the road could not be built at taxpayer expense. Lisbon Attorney Charles B. Nash said the town could get involved in building a road only if there was a serious safety concern.
Mr. Akins said turning over his land could also be tricky because there is a potential conflict of interest with his position as president of the association.
He said he hopes to find out soon whether the transfer is possible and begin clearing trees to make way for new plots.
You have to take the trees out and let the roots rot out so you can put a vault down, he said. He said that process could take up to a decade.

Hi connann,
1. It's part of the Internet addressing architecture, the fact that private networks were designed for home and offices (LANs), and in this case, your modem has the Public IP address assigned by your ISP. Such device assigns you a Private IP address via DHCP, and it does NAT all your requests.
By the way, ifconfig command shows the IP address that was assigned either statically or dynamically(via DHCP) to your NIC. If you need to know your Public IP address you can search for an IP Address lookup service in internet.
2. The subnet masks and the IP addresses range are determined by your modem configuration. There are some modems that you can configure to set your own values.

|Pryor resigns as WHS volleyball coach
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Tuesday, 13 July 2010 18:28
Kim Pryor is moving on.
In a shocking move Tuesday afternoon, Kim Pryor stepped down as head volleyball coach at Watauga High. During her ten -year stay with the program, the Pioneers, with the exception of one losing season (in 2002) marched their way to 184 wins, five conference titles and eight playoff appearances. But Pryor, who loves a challenge, is ready to take her talents to the next level.

BRASHER FALLS An event that began 13 years ago to coincide with the 175th anniversary of the town of Brasher kicks off again today.
The 2013 Tri-Town Summer Festival features three days of activities geared to people of all ages, according to Jodi White, who co-chairs the event this year with Katie Seidel.
Theyre activities that people expect year after year. People ask for them. They know what to expect, she said.
Todays activities include a sidewalk art contest; pre-teen/teen golf tournament; Story in the Park and Lions Club Picnic; senior ice cream social; roast pork and beef dinner; Minute to Win It; class reunions for the classes of 1993, 1983 and 1973; live music; free ice cream; the naming of parade marshals; and fireworks.
Marshals were named starting in 2010, and they are in the first position in Saturdays parade behind the American Legion, which always leads off in honor of the men and women serving in the armed forces. Last years marshals were Randy J. Hilbig for the town of Brasher, Charmaine McLaughlin for the town of Lawrence and William Ramsdell for the town of Stockholm.
Ms. White said the fireworks at St. Lawrence Central Schools bus garage are always popular, as is the parade that begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.
In addition to the parade, Saturday activities include a 5K walk/run; Getting It Done Obstacle Challenge; class of 1973 golf outing; pine car race; co-ed beach volleyball; eating contest; blindfold bicycle rally; wine tasting; live music; class of 1993, 1983 and 1973 reunion dinners; frog jumping contest; Carnival of Fun; steak dinner; Tri-Town Minor Hockey duck/turtle race; and Cory Jock Home Run Derby.
The weekend wraps up Sunday with a breakfast; fishing derby; class of 1973 picnic; St. Lawrence Central alumni lacrosse game; chicken barbecue; and lawn mower races.
Youngsters can enjoy the activities at the Carnival of Fun.
This year I believe we have two bouncy houses coming for the kids and carnival games, Ms. White said.
Ms. White advised early attendance at the steak dinner at the fire station.
If you dont get there very early, you might not get your steak that night, she said.
The Minute to Win It game is something new this year.
We always do on Friday night some kind of obstacle course or scavenger hunt, Ms. White said. They comes in teams of two and have 10 things they have to get through.
The Cory Jock Home Run Derby was moved from Friday to Saturday at the Tri-Town Community Center, and it always draws a large crowd, Ms. White said.
Thats another thing they look forward to, she said.
Ms. White said a small but dedicated group begins meeting in March to plan the years activities.
We have a small group of people and would love for it to be bigger, she said.
It sends out letters to the town of Brasher, Lawrence and Stockholm, which all support the event financially, and tries to incorporate activities in those locations.
Now that the planning is done and the event is underway, theres only one thing left to do: hope for good weather.
Were hoping the rain stays away, Ms. White said.

Welcome to Spirit Steps
We continue through chapter 4, I do hope you are enjoying reading the studies as much as I enjoy writing them
Please take time to view the links at the bottom of this message. They have many wonderful articles, to grow your faith
Also if you wish to pass these messages on, then please do so. If you want to print them out and use them for any type of ministry/bible study, then please feel free to do so. The word of God says freely you have received, freely give
God bless you
Acts 4
5Then on the following day, their magistrates and elders and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem,
6Including Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and all others who belonged to the high priestly relationship.
7And they set the men in their midst and repeatedly demanded, By what sort of power or by what kind of authority did [such people as] you do this [healing]?
8Then Peter, [because he was] filled with [and controlled by] the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and members of the council (the Sanhedrin),
9If we are being put on trial [here] today and examined concerning a good deed done to benefit a feeble (helpless) cripple, by what means this man has been restored to health,
10Let it be known and understood by all of you, and by the whole house of Israel, that in the name and through the power and authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, [but] Whom God raised from the dead, in Him and by means of Him this man is standing here before you well and sound in body.
11This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]
Peter and John, had been arrested, after the power of God was shown in the healing of the crippled man. That must of been a long night, for both of them and also for the fledgling church. I don't know for certain, but probably the apostles and the church spent large parts of that night in prayer. When problems occur and persecution happens, it should drive the church and us as individuals to our knees.. amen.
I just love verse 8. Peter was filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit. He didn't rant or get flustered. He was totally under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Surely, this is an example to us, when we come under scrutiny. We need to be filled comstantly, with the power and boldness of the Holy Spirit Ephesians 5:18
I wonder if Peter, remembered the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, when HE said ' all authority is given unto me'. We do things in the authority and in the name of Jesus, we preach the gospel, in the power of His Spirit. Although, we are told to be in subjection to authorities and governments, they sometimes set down restrictions, that stop the preaching and sharing of the gospel, when this happens, our first duty, is to share the gospel. We need to obey God rather than Man
In verse 10, as usual, he gave all the glory for the healing to his Saviour. The Apostles, were not seeking to put themselves forward. They were not seeking recognition for themselves. Maybe some of the so called pastors and preachers, who go around today, have something to learn from Peter
In his first Epistle, Peter wrote on suffering for the Gospel and giving an answer for your faith. When he wrote this epistle, I wonder if his mind was looking back to his conversation here
1 Peter 3
13Now who is there to hurt you if you are [d]zealous followers of that which is good?
14But even in case you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, [you are] blessed (happy, to be envied). Do not dread or be afraid of their threats, nor be disturbed [by their opposition].
15But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully.
16[And see to it that] your conscience is entirely clear ([e]unimpaired), so that, when you are falsely accused as evildoers, those who threaten you abusively and revile your right behavior in Christ may come to be ashamed [of slandering your good lives].
17For [it is] better to suffer [unjustly] for doing right, if that should be God's will, than to suffer [justly] for doing wrong.
Jesus, the one, who the authorities had rejected, was now and is the Head of the Church. He alone is our Divine foundation
Let us rejoice that Jesus is our sure foundation.. amen
If you do not know Jesus as your sure foundation. I invite you to visit the page at the bottom of this message, to find out, how you can trust Him and Him alone for salvation.
God bless you

Consumer Reports: Getting faked out by food packages
CONSUMER REPORTS -- Some processed foods have strayed so far from the farm and field that their frighteningly long list of ingredients bears little resemblance to anything you'd find in your pantry.
Consumer Reports looked at some supermarket favorites to see what key ingredients give each food its pizzazz. Take International Delight Gourmet Coffee Creamer. The label teases you'll "blast
off to the sweet 'n creamy stratosphere." But, prepare for a hard landing because the "creamer" is mostly water, sugar, and palm oil.
How about McCormick Bac'n Pieces? Surely it contains bacon? In fact, Bac'n bits doesn't contain any meat at all. It's mostly textured soy flour.
Looking for a fruit-fix in the morning? Don't count on Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Blueberry. There's not a berry in the box!
How about the classic favorite, Oreos? Surprised to hear there's no dairy in the creamy middle?
Another labeling pitfall: buzzwords. There's a reason snacks are called potato crisps instead of potato chips. The Food and Drug Administration requires a "chip" to be thinly sliced potato, but a "crisp" can be made from dried potatoes with cornstarch, sugar and soy lecithin.
When Consumer Reports asked companies for an explanation, most of the time it either got none or a vague response. So. don't look for butter in Mrs. Butterworth's or expect oranges in the Tang. Instead, look past the pretty pictures and seek the truth in the ingredient list.

Mark Wahlberg leads a solid ensemble cast in CONTRABAND, the new crime drama by Baltasar Kormákur (SUMMERLAND). CONTRABAND is based on the critically acclaimed 2009 Icelandic thriller REYKJAVIK-ROTTERDAM, starring Kormákur and boasting one of the biggest budgets of any film from Iceland ever.
Wahlberg plays Chris Farraday, a former smuggler who's gone clean and raised a family with his beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale). But when his brother-in-law gets in trouble with a crime boss (Giovanni Ribisi), Farraday implicates himself in the smuggling of millions of dollars in counterfeit bills to protect his family from danger. Farraday assembles a team of his old accomplices and must quickly determine if he still has the crime chops to pull off this last job.
Co-starring Ben Foster (3:10 TO YUMA), Lukas Haas (BRICK), J.K. Simmons (SPIDER-MAN) and Diego Luna (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN), CONTRABAND is an ensemble crime thriller that delivers big time. (Meredith Borders)

Some small changes on FTC
Hi All!
It's been a few years since we've done a server upgrade and in case things were getting a little sluggish here, we've upgraded today. You may have noticed the website was down for a while today while we made the move. We're all settled in and things seem to be going smoothly.
If you notice any issues, please do let me know.
Plus, being a little tired of the colors, I made some simple changes to the color scheme as well.
We're planning some bigger changes for later this year, so stay tuned for more news...
Scott and the FTC team.
New Feature: Links
A popular use of FTC has been to share website resources in Journals. Since there are countless website resources related to genealogy, I thought it would be fun to create a special feature that allows us to share our favorite websites.
You can see the links in the "recent links" page in the navigation or see recent link page here.
This will replace the "favorite links" section in your profile, and should be used any time you fiind a website you wish to share.
Also introduced with the links feature is a "tagging" feature. Tagging is a popular method of allowing website users to categorize things with plain words, instead of trying to create a big category structure. So when you create a link, you can also tag it with words that you feel describes the website. I'll soon be creating a tag navigation system which will show any resources that have been tagged with a particular word.
The nice thing about tags is that anybody can tag a link. So if another member comes along and wants to add some keywords to a link, they can do that.
I'll be migrating the journals over to the tagging structure as well.
If you have any questions about the new features, you can contact me via Private Message or just add a comment to this journal.
Active Journals
Many journals are specific to certain families and surnames. But others are of general interest, and it is my hope that there will be more contributions that are of general genealogy topics. If you have anything to share -- fun stuff, how-to's, your favorite websites, post it in a journal!
Always keep track of all the latest journal activity through one of the following methods:
- Active Journals: This page has been updated to display the most recently active journals, including comments. So if there are active conversations going on in a journal, they'll filter to the top of this list. There's a link to this page in the header of every page.
- RSS Feed: Subscribe to the Family Tree Circles RSS feed and be notified when any new journals are added. This will not be updated as journals are commented on. You can also get a feed of only the members that you have "subscribed" to. There's a link to that RSS feed in your profile.
New Look...
We've given Family Tree Circles a whole new look to better reflect the direction we're headed with FTC as a Web 2.0 application.
I hope you like it!
New FTC Features...
Some new features have been added to FTC...
- Profile pictures. Now you can upload a picture to show with your posts. Can be a picture of you, or anything you want.
- Image attachments to journals: You can attach a single image to a journal. Your image will be uploaded to the server, resized, and shown with your journal entry. Please don't upload any copyrighted images!
- Updated search: The search now includes the new Surname Wiki content.
Enjoy, and feedback is always welcome.
Welcome to FamilyTreeCircles.com
Hello and Welcome.
FamilyTreeCircles.com is a new approach to an old technique of Genealogy Research on the Internet: Community and Sharing.
All over the Internet are groups of people sharing genealogy information. Email lists, message boards, websites. Email lists and message boards are great ways to communicate with a community of people, but what happens to the information that has gone by. I personally subscribe to 3 rootsweb mailing lists and the vast amount of information that flows by there every week is incredible. And if I'm not paying attention to every message that goes by, I'll miss something.
Message boards have a similar problem. I watch message boards for a few surnames, but the informations is provided only in chronological order and in message format.
Personal family research websites are great. But it takes a special dedication and talent to create a useful website, never mind find the time to do all that work in addition to the genealogy research that we already don't have time for! Finding those websites can be a big challenge and possible only if Google and the search engines have found it first and include it in their search results.
So as we all research and discover our family history, most of us just write it down or type it in and store it away in our computers and filing cabinets.
So we thought, why not allow researchers an easy way to store online the information that they're storing at home. Organize the information by user, in categories, and by surname.
That way, once you find a researcher who's information you're interested in, you can keep a close eye on that without having to watch information you don't need from countless others.
And you, as a researcher, can post your own information. Others will find your information and maybe fill in the holes in their own research, but they will also find you. Birds of a feather...
And why stop with research information. If you've got other genealogy information to share, write an article about that. We'll post it for the world to see in one of our general site categories.
We hope you enjoy this resource.

I have a loop i'd like to do and see if anyone else is interested.. Bryce.. Clint.. Ryan? Would start at Crawford notch, go up Willey, Field, Tom. across the A-Z trail to Zealand Pond and do either Hale out and back or the loop, back south across the AT/ethan pond trail. 24mi total would add 4 more 4k's to my list :) JakeEdit: added map for detail.
Edited by JakeDatc on 08/21/2012 23:51:38 MDT.
I'm going on a gear test run this weekend, starting at Jefferson on Friday morning.I'm planning staying at the Nauman campsite on Friday night, passing through the Zealand area Saturday, staying at the shelter south of Guyot, and hiking out over the Bonds on Sunday. Any ideas for how to link these plans together?
Not this weekend. I'm climbing at Rumney Friday and Sunday with a day hike to do the Osceolas saturday.
Any chance you're open to hiking with new people / are you looking to hike this in one day or overnight? I'm about an hour-ish south of the White Mountains.I've been up Field and Tom, but was in the rain and would love to go up again.-Jared
Probably an overnight mostly because the days are getting shorter
Looks like this might happen either Sept 15 weekend or Sept 22 weekend. I have to check with my friend who is interested. Hopefully some nice late summer weather.
I'm tentatively in! Thanks for mentioning this to me, Jake-- I haven't browsed the forums here in a while, so I would have missed this otherwise. At the moment, I have no plans for those weekends yet, but I'll have to check with my girlfriend ;)edit: oops... the 22nd I might be accompanying a friend of mine on her NE4K's finish. 15th might work, though.
Edited by ryan.c.linn on 09/04/2012 14:31:13 MDT.
15th could work. my tent shipped today from NC so it should be here in time for me to get it seam sealed up
Hey thanks for pointing this out Ryan.I think next weekend the 15th could work for me, I have a softball game I will have to skip, (Im heartbroken over it)I have failed terribly this summer getting into the whites, there is still time to salvage the season. Lets do it!
Woo! I will most likely go up the friday night after the football game i'm working and sleep in my car at the trailhead or nearby (shhhh i'm stealthy.. like a ghost)
Yes! This will be my first trip to the Whites since winter, so I'm looking forward to it, too. It'll be good to catch up with you, Clint... I'm also pondering going up Friday night, but not sure yet. Whatever the plan, I'm pretty happy with the idea of getting into some big mountains again.
we have the choice of either the Willey house trailhead or Willey house station.i'm psyched too to finally hike with folks with gear lighter than mine. should be fun to see. debating between my apex 2.5 quilt and my 20 deg SubKilo down bag...
Edited by JakeDatc on 09/09/2012 12:23:38 MDT.
Questions:I am thinking of heading up early Saturday morning. Its about two hours from me so I will wake up as early as needed to get there for when ever. Do we have a time in mind? I was thinking of leaving around 5 for 7 ocklock, to late to early?Where do we plan on crashing Saturday night?What do the miles Sunday look like?
Edited by WalkSoftly33 on 09/12/2012 21:07:35 MDT.
Email Ryan. I've had to move my plans to Sunday-monday due to a work opportunity.
I know it's not crazy for this crowd but my pack with 1L of water is right at 20lb for the weekend :) that is with my 20deg down bag and 800fill puffy b/c sunday night looks cold.
I've had some packed weekends and haven't been able to make it out lately =(
I read that wrong and was wondering what kind of trip you thought this was ;)Ryan and Clint went clockwise Saturday and Sunday. I went counter clockwise (my track roots live on!) Sunday and Monday and met them near the summit of Mt Field. Talked for a while until Clint was frozen and we continued on our ways. I camped near the summit of Mt Hale. due to the convenience of the Zealand Hut I didn't have to filter water either day :)I did decide that I sleep pretty cold and I'd like to find something warmer than my REI sub Kilo 20*. My trip ended up being 27mi including a pack-less side trip to Mt Zealand. 42 peaks down... 6 to go. :)Washington in the clouds.. hour later clear skies. Pond near Zealand hut.. best foliage color on the loop. Lightheart Solo in actionzeacliff trail.. umm steep?

EU climate and energy 2030: commission calls for 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, at least 27% energy to come from renewable sources
January 22, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
The European Commission has announced the framework on climate and energy for 2030 for the European Union. The framework includes "a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 40% below the 1990 level, a binding target EU-wide for renewable energy of at least 27%, renewed ambitions for energy-efficiency policies, a new governance system, and a new set of indicators to ensure a secure and competitive energy system." "Climate action is central for the future of our planet, while a truly European energy policy is key for our competitiveness"...

This is a work in progress
While the bulk of the excess in your system comes from unintended work which means that to really increase your performance we need serious profiling and hacking to make your machine go WROOM, there are a few general things you can do to make your system work nicer. Remember all these hints can have adverse effects so use them at your own risk, if you break it you get to keep both pieces.
CPU registers are very fast, HDs are very slow - comparably about a painfactor of 1 million. So doing less IO is good for your performance, remember this at all times.
Performance is a compromise of throughput and latency (also talked about as interactivity) for your machine (being a desktop) latency is much more important than throughput. It's much more important for you that your machine responds NOW than that it manages to push more bits. This means you can select your settings for those metrics.
CFQ IO scheduling
Basics: Adding elevator=cfq to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
to:Code:title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp.img
This makes IO access more fair and such interactivity should improve.Code:title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet elevator=cfq initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp.img
Basics: Making dynamic library lookups faster
ensure that the prelink binary is installed and that a cron job is taking care of the daily maintance of the prelink lookup table.
This is rather distro specific so here goes for distros I'm sure how to enable it for.
Fedora (FC1 and beyond):
1) Do nothing, it's default on
Gentoo (Portage 2.0.54+ I think):
1) emerge prelink From here on portage takes care of prelinking for you automatically
Ubuntu (Dapper 6.04 used as example here):
1) sudo apt-get install prelink
2) sudo vi /etc/default/prelink (set PRELINKING=yes)
3) sudo /etc/cron.daily/prelink
Tuning your ext3 filesystem
Enables hashed b-tree journals on ext3
Let's take some precautions, first of all by finding out if some of those parameter are already enabled, by running
Check partition first
0) tune2fs -l /dev/hdXX
(replacing XX with your drive and partition your ext2/3 filesystem resides in). If you don't see dir_index in the list then we can enable it, and just in case you do see dir_index in 'Filesystem features' then you have either enabled it already or it was automatically enabled for you.
Now let's turn on the feature with (It is strongly recommended that you do this from a LiveCD and not on a running system)
1) tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdXX (replacing XX with your drive and partition your ext2/3 filesystem resides in)
Now run e2fsck with the -D option to have the directories optimized:
2) e2fsck -D /dev/hdXX
Do that on any ext2 or ext3 partition and then reboot. You should notice the difference straight away.

SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter =
This statement skips the next
events from the master. This is useful for recovering from
replication stops caused by a statement.
This statement is valid only when the slave threads are not running. Otherwise, it produces an error.
When using this statement, it is important to understand that the binary log is actually organized as a sequence of groups known as event groups. Each event group consists of a sequence of events.
For transactional tables, an event group corresponds to a transaction.
For nontransactional tables, an event group corresponds to a single SQL statement.
A single transaction can contain changes to both transactional and nontransactional tables.
When you use
sql_slave_skip_counter to skip events and the result
is in the middle of a group, the slave continues to skip events
until it reaches the end of the group. Execution then starts
with the next event group.
Beginning with MySQL 5.1.47, issuing this statement causes the
previous values of
RELAY_LOG_POS, and
sql_slave_skip_counter to be
written to the error log.
|Posted by Baron Schwartz on February 17 2008 8:33pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Setting this variable isn't like setting other server variables: you can't read the variable back again as @@sql_slave_skip_counter, and it isn't really a "global variable." Rather, it's a variable that only the slave thread reads.
When you restart the slave threads again with START SLAVE, the slave skips statements and decrements the variable until it reaches 0, at which point it begins executing statements again. You can watch this happening by executing SHOW SLAVE STATUS, where the variable's value appears in the Skip_Counter column. This is the only place you can see its value.
The effect is that the setting isn't persistent. If you set it to 1, start the slave, and the slave has an error in replication sometime later, the variable won't still be set to 1. It'll be 0. At that point, if you want the slave to skip the statement that caused the error, you'll have to set it to 1 again.
|Posted by Michael Widenius on September 27 2012 8:32pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
The reason for the strange values of sql_slave_skip_counter is that the value is temporarily stored in a global variable which is then copied to the replication thread. However when querying one will always see the global variable (which doesn't always include the right information).
We have fixed this in MariaDB as part of adding multi-source replication.
|Posted by Suyash Jain on January 15 2014 10:53am
|[Delete] [Edit]
skip counter is not a viable solution always, you are skipping the records but it might affect the further records.
Here is the complete details on why sql slave skip counter is bad.

The Wolfgang has an arched AA maple top on a lightweight basswood back, a quartersawn single-piece AA...
EVH - guitarists worldwide know exactly what those initial stand for. For nearly 40 years, Eddie Van Halen has been the guitarist that nearly every performer aspires to be.

If you want to play like Eddie, then fair warning, it's going to take years of practice and hard work. But, if you just want to sound like Eddie, then an EVH guitar is definitely going to be right for you. These guitars are built in conjunction with the man himself, so you know the eruption of tones they produce are going to be authentic. Take a look at what this section has to offer and you'll no doubt find a guitar that screams "I'm the one!" in no time.

It features custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups that are hard-mounted to the body and produce tones that will absolutely light up the sky. It also includes the first ever signature Floyd Rose tremolo bridge, complete with the EVH D-Tuna that lets you go to a drop-D tuning instantly. Simply put, this is the kind of guitar any player would be proud to own.
Another EVH option is the Wolfgang Stealth Electric Guitar. This guitar is highlighted by its stunning ebony fretboard, along with its dual hard-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching. Whether you're busking on a Sunday afternoon in the park to rocking out down on Mean Street, you'll be anything but stealth with this guitar.
Eddie Van Halen is a master of his craft, so when he passes on some secrets, you'd best take notice. With an EVH guitar, you'll have all the tools needed to become a guitar hero for the next generation of rockers out there!

Photo: A Mets 1986 World Championship mug
Michael Baron , Contributor
26 years ago tonight, the Mets won their second World Championship, coming back from a 2-0 (and going on the road) to win in seven thrilling games.
I got this mug sometime after the 1986 World Series but before the 1987 season began – I don't totally remember the date. This morning was a perfect time to break it out to celebrate the anniversary:
