As of Saturday, September 14, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
For the first time since 1961, Albany hosted the five-day conference of the Georgia State Firefighters Association and the Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs. Members of this important part of public safety gathered for training, story-swapping, a 9/11 remembrance, a visit to the Flint RiverQuarium, individual and team competitions as well as an address from Governor Nathan Deal. The conference wrapped up Saturday night with the annual banquet, held for the first time ever at the Hilton Garden Inn. The work done everyday by firefighters, paid and volunteer, from large and small communities, is so important. The city was awash last week with some of the bravest and brightest public safety personnel in our state. For this, Albany can be proud. To those visiting the city for the first time or the 100th time, come again soon.
The day that fell between 9/11 and Friday the 13th was a great one for the Lily Pad and Children's Miracle Network The Junior League presented a check for $17,000 and $16,500 to the two agencies, respectively, all from fund-raising endeavors of club members. The day just got better when the Albany Civil Rights Institute was presented with $13,000, proceeds from the annual King Day Celebration back in January. Do the math and that comes to a grand total of $46,500 that will help keep these valuable non-profits going.
Regardless of what Washington wants citizens to believe, the economy in a lot of places, including Albany and the state of Georgia, has shown only minuscule signs of recovery from the so-called Great Recession. For workers that have not seen an increase in pay for the past five or more years, it's a difficult sell. Prices have gone up on everything from gasoline to groceries to school tuition to a bag of dog food. One of the greatest increases has been that of premiums for health insurance. Companies and government entities have little choice in most cases but to pass along the increase to the worker, therefore decreasing the value of a paycheck even more. Albany's government has decided to act differently. After several discussions and looking at different options, the Albany City Commission has stepped up to help its employees by approving no employee insurance cost increase for those covered under the plan's base package. Yes, taxpayers will have to cover more than $2.5 million of the projected shortfall, but the city cannot operate without its workers and this sends a clear message of their importance. A little goes a long way to improve staff morale.
The dictionary defines a mentor as someone who guides another to greater success. That is the whole idea behind the program that Staff Sgt. Juana Snell with the Marine Corps Logistics Command at Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany brought to International Studies Elementary Charter School last year. Mentors in Action (MIA) has expanded this school year to include Southside Middle School. Marines will spend a minimum of one hour each week with students. Positive role models for some of the children that will be impacted by MIA are few and far between. Marine volunteers can be sure, whether they get to see the fruits of their labor or not, they have and will continue to make a difference in the lives of the students. And for this, we say thank you.

First Round Options For The Chicago Bears
- Updated: April 13, 2014
With the NFL draft coming up in less than a month, it's time to start looking at who the Bears will take in the draft. Many scouts believe this year to be one of the deepest drafts in the past decade, and the Bears will be looking for value in every round. However, the first round is where they will most likely draft a player who will instantly start, or at least see significant snaps. Within the next few weeks leading up to the draft I will come out with a full seven round mock draft for the Bears, but for now lets take a look at who the Bears should select with the 14th overall pick, because there are a lot options.
1. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S Alabama
Right now Clinton-Dix is the player I would like to see the Bears get in the first round. Picking in the middle of the first round, there will be no obvious player who stands out talent-wise against the rest. As a result, the Bears are best suited to draft for their biggest need, which is safety. A few months back I probably would have wanted a defensive tackle, but the Bears have made big improvements on the defensive line through free agency. Also Chris Conte recently underwent shoulder injury, which is expected to take 4-5 months to heal. This makes the outlook for safety even murkier. I believe Clinton-Dix will be a great fit for the Bears mainly because of his range. He ran a respectable 4.58 in the 40 yard dash, but Clinton-Dix is most impressive when you look at his tape from Alabama. He compiled 7 interceptions in a 2 year span, playing in the toughest conference in college football, for a pro-style team in Alabama. The Bears have been known to play a bend but don't break type of defense where they do not give up big plays and force opposing offenses to sustain a lengthy drive. Clinton-Dix would fit perfectly into this scheme thanks to his range and coverage skills. Last season the Bears safeties gave up far too many big plays, but Clinton-Dix could step in right away and make an impact. The biggest knock on Clinton-Dix is his somewhat slender frame. He was a solid tackler in college, but isn't a guy you will rely on for bone crushing hits. That being said, he can always add on weight in the pros, and the Bears need him more as a center fielder for his coverage skills.
2. Calvin Pryor, S Louisville
There are two safeties in this draft that are clearly separated from the rest of the pack. The first is Clinton-Dix, and Calvin Pryor is the other one. There isn't really a general consensus on which is the better player, though it is clear they are the top two at their position. They even ran identical 40 times at 4.58 seconds. Right now it seems there is a good chance the Rams will select Clinton-Dix right before the Bears with the 13th pick, and if they do the Bears would be wise to scoop up Pryor. The biggest difference in Pryor's game is his physicality. He is phenomenal in run support, racking up 75 tackles last season and forcing 8 fumbles in his career at Louisville. Pryor is probably more versatile than Clinton-Dix, somebody who can play up around the line of scrimmage and blitz. His range is not quite as good as Clinton-Dix's which is why I have him ranked second. The Bears rarely blitz their safeties, so his tackling skills could somewhat go to waste. However he is still solid in coverage and would be an upgrade at safety as a potential enforcer on the back end of the defense. Hopefully the Bears safeties won't be forced to make as many tackles next year as they did last season, but if that is the case Pryor would be ready. If Clinton-Dix goes off the board at 13th, Pryor remains a fantastic option.
3. Timmy Jernigan, DT Florida State
Defensive tackle is right after safety in terms of needs for the Bears. If for some reason Phil Emery does not like the safeties available, he could go after a defensive tackle. A lot of people have fallen in love recently with Aaron Donald, the defensive tackle from Pitt who was dominant at the senior bowl and combine. Firstly, I think there is a decent chance Donald will be off the board when the Bears pick, as the Giants may select him 12th. Second, Donald is extremely undersized for the position and has been successful based on skill and a high motor. Timmy Jernigan on the other hand is a prototypical 4-3 defensive tackle. At 6'2, 300 pounds Jernigan has great size, speed, athleticism, and moves. In my opinion he is still the best defensive tackle in the draft, which he proved in a dominant performance during the BCS title game. Coming from a national championship team, Jernigan was the heart and soul of FSU's defense, and he's a proven winner. I also like him over Donald because of his size. Donald may be quicker leading to more sacks, but the Bears really need a big run stuffer in the middle of their defense after they got gashed by the run last season. With Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston on the ends, The Bears are not going to need a ton of sacks from the defensive tackle spot, but rather run stopping ability. Jernigan needs to work on his fitness at the next level, but I think he would be the final piece to the Bears defensive line if they opt to go that route.
4. C.J. Mosley, ILB Alabama
Mosley is my dark horse for the Bears in the first round. Emery has made surprise picks in the past, so anything can happen. The Bears have a long standing tradition of greatness at middle linebacker, and are still looking for someone to fill Brian Urlacher's shoes. They resigned DJ Williams to a one year contract, but he is more of a stopgap than a long term solution. The Bears could definitely use more depth at linebacker, so this pick would make more sense than it seems at first glance. Mosley is far and away the best inside linebacker in the draft. Playing for Alabama, he won the Dick Butkus award last season for best linebacker in the country, while racking up 108 tackles. He also has good range with the ability to drop back into coverage, which is definitely a necessity for the Bears. There is a good chance he will be available with the 14th pick, and if the Bears draft him I'm sure they would find a way to use him next season. DJ Williams has played outside linebacker in the past, so if he and Briggs played on the outside with Mosley in the middle, that could be a formidable line-backing crew.
So there you have it, those are my top 4 options for the Bears in the first round. The Bears still have plenty of holes on defense, so any of these guys could step in and make an impact right away. That being said I won't be surprised if the Bears don't get any of the guys on the list. Only Phil Emery and the Bears scouts know what they are going to do, and other potential picks include defensive tackles Aaron Donald and Louis Nix III, or cornerback Justin Gilbert. Like I said I will do a full seven round mock draft within the next couple of weeks so look out for that and let me know in the comments section who you think the Bears should take.

Comic-Con 2011: Day Four Wrap-Up & Aftermath (page 3)
Comic-Con 2011: The Aftermath
[pullquote quote="Just a taste of everything will never leave you satiated, so you know inside that you'll come back for more."]As I circled the maze of one way streets that cluster at the base of San Diego's Gaslamp District looking for my window out up Eleventh Avenue, I thought of a simple analogy to summarize the Comic-Con experience for anyone whose never been and wonders what all the fuss is about: a multi-day music festival.
You spend months winding yourself up into feverish excitement over the growing line-up of bands, get disappointed when some drop out, then rally around the replacements. Then when you finally get there you realise that everything is scheduled so close together that you have to spread your love accordingly, even if that means you only get a taste of each act. But that's why it works: just a taste of everything will never leave you satiated, so you know inside that you'll come back for more.

Dany Heatley understands what probably lies in store for him Thursday night, and the San Jose Sharks forward is fine with it.
"I think there will probably be some booing, but fans are entitled to do what they want," Heatley told assembled media following Thursday's morning skate in Ottawa, according to the Toronto Sun.
"I'm not nervous. I've been through this before. This is just another game. I've moved on, I'm happy in San Jose and I want to win the game," said Heatley, who will be facing the Senators in Ottawa for the first time since asking to be traded during the summer of 2009.
"I've played a lot of games in here. It was nice to see some of the guys on the team here for sure."
Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a second-round draft pick.
The Senators don't expect fans at Scotiabank Place to treat Heatley too kindly.
"It's not going to be very nice for him, but I'm sure he's expecting that," Senators forward Mike Fisher told the Ottawa Sun. "Other guys have come in here and it's kind of the same thing. Guys on our team get booed in other rinks. That just happens all over."
"It doesn't bother me," Senators coach Corey Clouston told the Ottawa Sun. "The only time I think about it is when it is brought up by media. That's fine. You guys need to do that. To me, our whole focus is getting our team ready to play the way they need to be."
Heatley has 51 goals and 56 assists in 105 games with the Sharks. He had two assists in the Sharks' 5-1 win against the Senators in their only meeting last season, which came at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
Heatley said he expects to hear boos when he takes the ice in Ottawa, and that's OK with him.
"It is what it is. Like I said, I'm happy to see a lot of people in this town," Heatley said Thursday morning. "I met a lot of great people during my time here. If people want to cast me as a villain, that's fine. I'm just going to go out and play hockey."

As an American-born Chinese, my style is very East meets West--modern Asian. My work is strongly influenced by my Chinese heritage, especially the culture's deep respect and esteem for nature.

It started out simple, just stringing plastic beads together as a child. Then as I got older, I wanted jewelry to match an outfit, so I found myself stringing "grown-up" beads together.

As a member of an extremely artistic family, I often wondered why the "artistic gene" had bypassed me. Then, one day, I happened upon a table of beads and jewelry-making supplies at a flea market. I was, of course, mesmerized. I took home a small selection and started "playing" with them. I smile when I remember my first efforts and how proud I was of them. Happily, once I got started, I couldn't stop. I discovered Fire Mountain Gems and Beads shortly thereafter. The rest, as they say, is history. ...read more

The Infamous Letter of Willie Lynch
The Chess Game of Willie Lynch
"Gentlemen, I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest and still oldest methods of control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented.
Strategy Five. Bull whip the Black man in front of the woman and child until he gives up his will to resist. This leaves the woman feeling alone, unprotected by him, with his image destroyed. The ordeal will cause her to move from her psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state. In this frozen psychological state of independence, she will in turn raise her male and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life, she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent, but physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she will train her female offspring to be psychologically independent.
Strategy Seven. The best way to deal with the phenomena is to shave their mental history and create a multiplicity of phenomena of illusions, so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit, something similar to floating balls in a vacuum. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and your children use them. Never miss an opportunity. If used intensely for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful." ~Willie Lynch
Willie Lynch was a White supremacist who understood the use of principles, to cripple the minds of African slaves, and their descendants, to keep them out of the mainstream. The biblical principle, "As a man thinks he is in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7) was used as the primary seed to produce good crop in the White race, and bad crop in the Black race. His plan seemed fail proof because principles don't change, but they change people. And to cause a nation of people to think that they were born under-achievers is masterful, when you get them to accept it as a truth. For whatever we do in life, we will act like what we believe, even though we don't know that what we believe about ourselves is not true.
Breaking the spirit of him of dark skin, by chain and whip domination, caused him to submit his mind to the control of his White counterparts. Whatever they said or did was right in his eyes, for in his mind he didn't know where he was, or where he came from, to understand where he was going in life. Keeping him ignorant would keep him from reading the map that would lead to his freedom. When he gave up his will to fight for a better life from within, Complacency USA became his home, where he lost hope of ever being a high achiever by lawful means. He passed this thinking down to his sons and his daughters, who have kept the orbiting cycle going for hundreds of years, which Lynch calculated to last to year 2712, unless a phenomena occurred with an antidote to reverse his formula.
Later came the KKK as White power, with men hiding behind sheets, to keep others from recognizing their faces, as they burned the cross on lawns and burned down homes where it stood, and churches were torched killing people inside who gathered to praise and worship the living God, even though it was said that God wanted an Anglo-Saxon, pure, Christian race to surface the earth. But underneath is the truth that it is spiritual in nature, as hatred for Jesus Christ, for the symbols used are representative of Him: Cross-salvation, fire-the Holy Spirit, home-the family, and church-the body of Christ.
Mental History Reveals a Box Mentality.
Truth was kept from us when it came to uncovering our mental history. The authenticity of The Infamous Letter of Willie Lynch (the Letter), is evidenced by its truth seen in the behavioral patterns of some in both the White and Black races, who have box mentalities-a wrong is accepted as right. I was first partaker of this state of mind. Now it is time to stop being complacent about the issues of LIFE, and start opening some boxes, one at a time. I say this a lot, face it to erase it, and you can't get out of a box, unless you know that you're in.
On December 29, 1995, I was a stranger in a strange city that was windy and cold, having come from sunny California. I was out of my comfort zone with an assignment from God to "write." The second day in Chicago South Side, I was given to read the Letter which looked like it had been handled many times, from its appearance. As I read, it felt like I had a fire burning inside my stomach, and it wasn't a burning ulcer. Then half way down the Letter, I had a vision that I would be used to do a reversal. I pondered what I read, not having a clue how. Time would tell more than I could have ever imagined as I journeyed into the unknown, in search of truth about LIFE, and why I occupied space on Planet Earth.
~Willie Lynch
Six months later, at 2:00 A.M., I awoke to words of inspiration, and penned, Life is in the Mind of a Black People, and then 5 other books followed as though I was doing a research project. I saw inside the race from which I came, but didn't know that well having lived in a different world, as a White woman in a Black woman's body. By that I mean I embraced the White culture as my own, denying in part my own existence as a Black woman because I grew up in corporate America. Over time, it became crystal clear what Lynch had done, even to me, as I saw into his methodical chess game, as the great-granddaughter of African and American slaves (descendants of African slavery made slaves in America).
Have you ever seen a trick box given as a gift? You pull out one box, then another, and then another, before you get to the smaller one, as your gift. In a box mentality, you are confined to your own space of thought. You can't see the big picture beyond your nose. You know what you know and no more, although you know so much that ain't so, but don't know it, until you open some box lids.
The Tight Lid of "I" and "My."
Your mind knows what it knows inside that space, and wants no more unless you're interested in expanding your mind with new information. You're frozen in time. Everything you see and hear will be about you, inside your box of pride that speaks in terms of "I" and "My," and it has a tight lid. The other boxes inside are fear, distrust, envy, laziness, passivity, procrastination, anger, to name a few.
You don't want to look at your bad because it hurts too much. So you put yourself in a different light around those you want to impress, for their light you want to project-pretending to be where they are, without paying the price to shine as bright as their bulb. You're blind in mind with a low watt, not able to see beyond your space. But there's hope, if you're willing to deal with your own issues with honesty, and open your lids as they did. When you do, humility will rise, instead of puffed up pride. Humility makes you teachable, when you admit that you don't know what you need to know, to come out of the box. Some boxes are inherited through genes, and others are environmental traits, from seed sowing words.
African slavery was a business proposition for the rich, who bought land, and slaves to work the land. Lynch's methodical plan would help them remain wealthy long after slavery was abolished. But some who were not endowed with knowledge or dollars, kept slavery alive-fueling their pride of feeling superior, feeling less than, expressing their basic human nature of a need to control. When you have hated people for so long just because, to stop you're left without a cause to support your existence.
But Lynch was right, the mind over a period of time has a desire to recorrect itself, as the Holy Spirit quicken my mind to see his Plan of Dependency. We have to be cut from the umbilical cord of dependency on others to depend on God, as dependency causes laziness. Now the Bible is our instruction, "And it shall come to pass in that day...that the remnant of Israel...will never again depend on him who defeated them. But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth" (Isaiah 10:20). I was inside this Word. It was personal to me.
Life is like a chess game.
A drama story. The chess game was in play. The goal of the game was control. The method used was the mind as the playing field. The end result would be passivity as captivity. Passive people don't fight for their rights, and they accept wrong for right without a fight. They offer no resistance to being mistreated, or being dependent on others. It was a chess game of the mind, using the intellect, over-working the emotions, to abuse the will. The intellect would be on the side of the white pieces, and the emotions on the side of the black pieces. The intellect would respond to difficult situations to overcome an issue. The emotions would react during difficult times, making it an issue to overcome.
[Who found The Infamous Letter of Willie Lynch, or where it is chronicled is unknown to me. It is reprinted in part here for the subject matter I reference, i.e., The Chess Game of Willie Lynch.]

WASHINGTON – A massive search for a missing 8-year-old girl in a D.C. park wound down Wednesday without yielding any new details about her disappearance.
Police say a theory that they would find Relisha Rudd at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens took them to the park, resulting in seven days of intensive searching, which is expected to continue Thursday.
"This was our best chance," says D.C. Assistant Chief Peter Newsham. "Until we complete our search, then we'll have a little bit more confidence that we've been unable to find her here."
Police asked again that anyone with information about Relisha's disappearance or where she could be to call investigators, saying any new lead could be the key to finding her.
Investigators believed that Tatum went to the park on March 2, the day after he was last seen with Relisha, after buying a carton of 42-gallon trash bags and other items.
Based on that information, cadaver and search dogs were brought in last week to locate Relisha's possible grave site. Instead after several days of searching, officials found Tatum's body.
Police don't know when Tatum shot himself or if he came back to the park in the middle of the intensive search, Newsham says.
"Anything is possible," he says.
Tim Gallagher with the FBI says the visible search is winding down at the park but the investigation will continue.
"We've had children we've recovered several years later," Gallagher says. "We do not stop."
The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to Relisha's location. Anyone with information or who sees her is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).

Granite City Man Gets 16 Years In Child-Porn Case
June 26, 2012 10:32 AM
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP)- A Granite City man has been ordered to spend 16 years in federal prison for possessing and distributing child pornography.
Before being sentenced Monday in East St. Louis, 23-year-old Mikhail Reinhardt had pleaded guilty in February to the two felony counts.
Authorities say an August 2009 search of the southwestern Illinois home Reinhardt was sharing with his parents uncovered one computer with more than 1,000 photographs and videos containing child pornography. Another computer had 11 similar photographs and videos.
Investigators say Reinhardt admitted downloading the pornography.

In order to use your PAYG mobile broadband you need some way of connecting to the data network. This is tends to be via a device called a mobile broadband dongle. A mobile broadband dongle is a small device which often like a bulky memory stick which slots into the USB slot on your laptop.
PCMCIA cards are also available which slot into the side of laptops but they forms a much smaller proportion of the connections nowadays, so we will not describe those any further.
Several network providers now provide mobile broadband wireless access points, which enable several wifi enabled devices to access the mobile broadband connection, without each one requiring its own dongle.
Dongles usually consist of five (or sometimes six) components:
The USB connector which normally would come with a USB extension lead. Due to its size it can often be inconvenient to have the dongle plugged directly into the side of a laptop, so the USB extension lead can lead to a more practical working environment and also reduce the risk of placing too much pressure on the USB connector itself and damaging it.
A memory stick, which contains the installation software and device drivers which are required to make the dongle successfully work with your laptop. This memory space is normally reserved for the dongle software and cannot be re-used for your own files.
The wireless data radio transmitter/receiver, which does the work of communicating with the mobile data network.
A SIM card, which uniquely identifies your mobile broadband dongle and enables the network provider to control access to the network and billing activities.
(Optional) A microSD [CHECK] slot. Many dongles now come with the capacity to add a microSD memory card so that the dongle can act as a general purpose memory stick.
Although not generally available, occasionally the dongle will include a wifi device, which enables the dongle to access nearby wireless access points. Nowadays most mobile devices like laptops already incorporate wifi equipment so it is normally not necessary to have it within the dongle as well.

What is Tree City USA?
The Tree City USA program has been greening up cities and towns across America since 1976. It is a nationwide movement that provides the framework necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees.
More than 3,400 communities have made the commitment to becoming a Tree City USA. They have achieved Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.

Scott Brown's rejoinder to David Gergen in his debate with Martha Coakley the other evening--"With all due respect, it's not the Kennedy seat and it's not the Democrats' seat. It's the people's seat"--is a great line and a memorable line, and may well survive the special election next week and enter the political annals.
Here's another great line, which is still quoted a half-century later: "If your name was Edward Moore instead of Edward Moore Kennedy, your candidacy would be a joke."
Read more...
Democrats must really be worried about the Massachusetts special election. The DNC dispatched partisan fire-breather Hari Sevugan to help with Martha Coakley's communications strategy. Coakley's in trouble because the Democratic health care bill is unpopular in Massachusetts, Democratic incumbent governor Deval Patrick is a flop, and the unemployment rate is at 8.8 percent.
The Scott Brown campaign tried to raise $500,000 in one day online. It ended up with nearly three times that much:
Total raised: $1,303,302.50 Total number of donors: 16,793 Average contribution: $77.89
Total raised: $1,303,302.50 Total number of donors: 16,793 Average contribution: $77.89
On Monday night, Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown sparred for an hour over health care, taxes, terrorism, abortion, and the death penalty. In what was the campaign's final debate and the only one broadcast live in Massachusetts' largest media market, Coakley committed at least one serious gaffe when she said there are no terrorists left in Afghanistan because they've all gone to Yemen or Pakistan. Barack Obama would beg to disagree.
Scott Brown touts his opposition to constitutional rights for enemy combatants in his latest ad:
Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, releases a stunning new poll:
The Boston Herald reports that interim Senator Paul Kirk says he would "absolutely" vote for Obamacare even if Scott Brown wins the election, and the Massachusetts secretary of state wouldn't certify the election results until February 20 if Brown wins, so congressional Democrats would have enough time to pass Obamacare:
Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, is finishing up with a poll on the Massachusetts Senate special election:
In Massachusetts, Anxiety for Favored Democrats By Abby Goodnough New York Times January 8, 2010 BOSTON — Martha M. Coakley, the Democrat running for Senator Edward M. Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, had seemed so certain of winning the special election on Jan. 19 that she barely campaigned last month.
In Massachusetts, Anxiety for Favored Democrats By Abby Goodnough New York Times January 8, 2010 BOSTON — Martha M. Coakley, the Democrat running for Senator Edward M. Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, had seemed so certain of winning the special election on Jan. 19 that she barely campaigned last month.
The AP reports that the American Future Fund will spend $400,000 on an ad in the Massachusetts Senate race contrasting Republican Scott Brown's opposition to taxes with Democrat Martha Coakley's statement that "we need to get taxes up."
The cash-strapped Brown does his best to feign disappointment:
Via Jennifer Rubin, the Cook Political Report thinks Scott Brown has a chance:
The estimable Allahpundit is pretty fatalistic about Obamacare: Nancy Pelosi says the House and Senate are "very close" to a deal, Obama's weighing in to pressure House Dems to accept something close to the Senate bill, you can't rely on Blanche Lincoln to stop it--and, so, "Dude, I think it's over."
The only way for Republican Scott Brown to win is energizing the Republican base while appealing to moderate Massachusetts voters at the same time. So far so good, writes Michael Graham, who sees Scott Brown harnessing the power of, and giving hope to, the tea party movement, despite his relatively moderate positions:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that in very recent private polling, Bay Staters, when asked whether Congress should pass the current health care reform legislation or start over, split 36-53 in favor of starting over.

Extreme Metal: Music and Culture on the Edge
Bloomsbury Academic, 2007 - Music - 194 pages
Extreme metal--one step beyond heavy metal--can appear bizarre or terrifying to the uninitiated. Musicians of this genre have developed an often impenetrable sound that teeters on the edge of screaming, incomprehensible noise. Extreme metal circulates on the edge of mainstream culture within the confines of an obscure 'scene', in which members explore dangerous themes such as death, war and the occult, sometimes embracing violence, neo-fascism and Satanism. In the first book-length study of extreme metal, Keith Kahn-Harris draws on first-hand research to explore the global extreme metal scene. He shows how the scene is a space in which members creatively explore destructive themes, but also a space in which members experience the everyday pleasures of community and friendship. Including interviews with band members and fans, from countries ranging from the UK and US to Israel and Sweden, Extreme Metal: Music and Culture on the Edge demonstrates the power and subtlety of an often surprising and misunderstood musical form.

06.12.09: Alright, due to popular demand, I updated the handbook with a bunch of stuff regarding mounted combat. Now when I read it I realize it's not exactly reeking with specific information, but it is something people can go by if they feel like it. Truth is, mounted combat isn't for everyone, and people might get more frustration than joy if they don't figure out that fact for themselves early on.
Anyway, I hope it helps some of you.
Old: Expect screenshoot goodness, hadware tips, regular updates, and corrections to the following text. The purpose of it is to guide you through the PvP "knowhow" of DF, and prepare you for whatever team fights you are about to encounter with the Yew Milita at your side.
Suggestions are always welcomed since there are many things still not covered here. Check in often.
Here it goes:
Yew Militia's PvP Handbook:
1) Training:
- First thing you need to do, if you never had PvP experience in the game yet, is to get a grip of your movement, your positioning, turn speed and sensitivity. Learn what you are capable of, without any of the skills you're about the aquire at some point. If you haven't went deep in your chosen weapon skill, pick some weapons of every type and try them, examine their range, overall damage output, their speed. Learn to switch from horizontal to vertical attacks (with "T" by default), according to the situation.
While character skill is the more deciding factor in a fight, coordination and player skills need to be tuned, in order for you to use all of your hero's abilities to their fullest. That's why you need to be in full control of your movement, as well as be fully aware how your control affects your character in the world.
- Learn to sprint-hit people from the sides while you pass by them. Don't do unessesary running though, try to be as close as possible to your opponents, while evading their attacks at the same time. And stop looking at the ground while doing it.
Learn to let go the sprint button from time to time too, otherwise you'll burn through your stamina too fast, and that means you're dead in most cases. When you aren't side hitting your enemy, try to keep him in view all the time.
- Grab a shield and a one-hander and learn to parry. Even if you don't plan on gaining the skill, you'll still need to use it in many situations. A shield could literally save your life.
If you're new and are still getting used to the controls, try swapping the default "V" for block with the right mouse button, and place the GUI somewhere else (another mouse button, for instance). That'll even free the "V" for something else. It's best to learn to block only when you're going to get a hit, in order to perserve stamina.
- Learn ranged combat. If you have the option, try playing around with different staffs. While the low level ones are almost identical, the high ranked vary in damage output and casting speed. Again - see what fits you best here, and try sticking with it.
Archery is mandatory. At the least, you need to carry a bow and some arrows in you, even if you don't want to level it. Practice shooting at mobs, or people, to get a general feel of the bow's trajectory and parabola. Learn to avoid hitting friendlies, be it with arrows, or AOE's of spells.
- Learn bunny-hopping. Sprint-run -> jump -> do 180 degrees turn while midair -> shoot with a ranged attack at your target -> turn back on your original path -> repeat. While you probably won't need it that much often, there are some situations, in which you would. Counter that by just switching to ranged attacks yourself. Since your opponent has his back turned to you half of the time, you should deal more damage then him, which would compensate for any misses on your end, if we presume that he's not using a rank 60 bow with all archery skills maxed, and you - a dawnstaff with MMs.
- Once you do all of the above, use every available opportunity to train with your clanmates. No amount of macroing, or mob farming, will give you the knowledge to fight real life opponents, and since this is a PvP game, appearently you'll be meeting alot of those.
Start off with small fights, 1v1's, to get a handle of the flow. Try fighting opponents with varying skill levels, in order to mesure your own level and see where you lack or shine: If you can't parry that well - fight more with a shield and learn. Your aim sucks? Use more ranged attacks on the next couple of fights. Concentrate on your problems and weed them out.
After a while start bringing in more people in the fights - 2v2's, 3v3's, even 2v2v2's. Do battles with uneven numbers - 1v2's, 2v3's, and so on.
- Don't just bash-out, put some thought in your sparring - do focused training: place 3 people in one of our towers, and try to either kill them, or remove them from it in 5 minutes; fight only with one-handers or two-handers; use only magic or archery; protect someone, while the other team goes out to kill him, etc.. Those types of training might not sound very useful, but they do give your team a purpose, which in turn taughts you coordination.
- Learn to manage your mana, stamina, and health. Don't go healing yourself just after you've lost 90% of your hit points, do it at 50-60% mark, unless you are certain you can survive the fight. Never go into a battle without eating some food in advance.
Don't get blood greedy for that last hit on an almost-dead enemy or you might hurt yourself more in the process, sustaining hits and loosing stamina while on a frenzy. Try thinking beyond the current battle.
- The above doesn't mean to play like a whimp, however. Be aggresive when the need arises, but always keep a level of precision.
2) Preparation:
- At all times keep a supply bag of the following in your personal bank:
2 sets of armour, corresponding to your specific role and division, as well as 2 shields; 2 units of one-handed, and two-handed weapons of your choice, 2 bows, 2 staffs; 200 arrows, 20 of each reagent, 10 moderate potions that you regulary use, 2 mounts and 50 units of food.
Use that stock whenever you're out for a fight with people. Do not use it when you are PvE-ing. You are required to refill your bag whenever you have the chance, do so by asking your division commander for supplies, or just refill it with your own stuff. Don't wait for a fight to happen to ask, do it beforehand.
Your supply should sustain you for at least two fights, giving you all of the tools you would need in a fight. Do not take out more than one weapon of each type, one shield, a staff, and a bow, more than a hundred arrows, one mount, 10 units of food, and 3-4 potions of whatever type you are using. Take out only reagents you will need.
- Always set up a party before heading out. The highest ranking participant would create those, by calling out for people in Clan chat, or Vent. If you intend to go, you are required to answer the call in one or the other, or both. Since your name is needed to get an invite, it's better to type out "Aye" in Clan chat.
- Keep extra attention to Clan, Party, and Clan Alliance chats, and try getting in Vent. Follow whatever commands your superiors give you without questions. In fights, or when preparing, try to keep chats and vent clear of useless information and discussions. Whenever you have something important or helpful to relay, do not hesitate to do it(in whatever form you can).
- If you have IRL matters to attend to, of which you are aware beforhand, try to warn commanders, so that they can take that into account for future activities. No one is going to get mad at you, for not being there for a game, but it would be helpful if we know our force's capabilities for at least 5-10 minutes in advance.
- Do not take with you any useless items that would only go to our opponents if you get killed. Skinning knives, pick-axes and all of that should stay at your bank, unless we're out to drain our enemie's resource nodes.
- Keep a cool head, and don't get separated from the group.
3) On the field:
- Depending on the number of your group, always keep scouts in the front, at the sides, and the rearguard of the main force. Appearently, if you're out with 5 people, go with only one or two scouts. Those people should be rangers, or, preferably, players that know the layout of the map well enough. The distance between the scouts and the group depends on the geography of the area: if you're in an open field with little to no objects obscuring your vision, try spreading the rangers far out, getting eyes on a bigger area; in areas with more varying relief keep 'em close and tight, for easier navigation. Scouts should always be in a party with at least one person in the main force.
- Listen to your commanders. Do anything you are told to do, and do it strictly.
- When fighting single opponents, try to keep a safe distance from your teammates, in order to avoid friendly hits. Play on the defence, unless you're certain your hit is going to land on it's target, and don't waste your stamina.
- Whenever you notice your stamina or health dropping to 50% try to get it up quickly, especially if you're fighting in a group vs. groups scenario. Drink potions, cast Mana to Stamina, Stamina to Health, Heal self, or, alternatively go to your designated group healers, if they are any.
- Always try to pick your battles, rather then the other way around. Try not to go into battles without stuffing your mouth with food first. Do buffs, and draw out a plan for the fight. Assess the situation, designate targets, set goals, and stick to them.
- Don't fight when you are outnumbered, unless you're certain you are going to win, or you're waiting for reinforcements.
- Know your enemy. Notice what they wear, what weapons do they use, how they behave on the battlefield, what magic are they using. Fire mages are usually the biggest threat, doing massive damage, so, naturally, try downing them first. Try killing individual people, rather then spreading out.
Since you can't know your enemies names in advance, but you still need to designate targets, call them out by their roles, races, or position, when in Vent.
- Gank and revive. Try ganking immediately after you down someone. Revive only when you're certain you won't get hit. Keep an eye on downed allies, and knockback all enemies that try to gank them.
When revived do not unsheath any weapons, unless you're safe.
- Set ambushes. Find places to hide, elevations, ridges, whatever you can, and position yourself. Don't send more than two people to call out the enemy, and try not to reveal your positions, before the actual ambush. Don't do buffs and don't noch arrows, unless you are certain the target is too far to hear your spells. Prepare attacking magic and draw arrows only when you actually see the enemy getting into your trap.
- Get better visual around you, by switching to third-person view. If you want to see something just around that corner, unsheath a melee weapon and look it up, rather then going there and revealing yourself.
- Do not type in public chat.
- Don't go into obvious ambushes, unless you have a plan. If your scouts are doing their job, you should be aware of any ambushes in advance.
- When raiding always move around, never stay at one spot for more than 2-3 minutes, to rest up. When rallying try to not make unnecessary noices. Learn to crouch-walk.
- Use the geography of the battle area to your advantage. If there are rocks, hills, or elevations, use them to get high ground, or to break the line of sight of your enemies. If there are buildings and you're outnumbered get in there and block the entrances, knockback people, and seperate your opponents force.
- Do not summon mounts infront of your foes, and do not dismount around them, unless you the situation calls for it.
- When chasing people on mounts, shoot at the raiders, rather then their mounts, unless they're too far away, or the mount is almost dead (and easily killable).
- When being chased by a larger force try separating. You can lower their numbers that way, and gather later on. Always try to outnumber your enemy, whenever you have the chance.
- Try to coordinate your roles, when fighting. Who is going to shoot arrows, who is going to do magic, who is going to block and tank? Sort those things before going in to battle.
- While you may want to be a melee fighter, or something else, exclusively, that's not very smart in DF. Sometimes there's only few viable tactics in a fight, and being stubborn doesn't help your team. If a situation calls for a ranged-only combat, you need to do that. You need to block stuff? Pull your shield and block.
- Remember that even if your character skills aren't that high, you still can be useful to a group. If you can't deal much damage with melee or spells, you still can effectively block attacks, and keep the attention of your opponents. The essence here is to stay alive and remain a unit of the force.
4) Mounted combat:
- Essentially all mounts, exept the Battlehorn, are same in size, available swing arcs, speed, and base health. A Garmir might seem a bit large, but in practice his hit box and size are identical to the ones of other mounts (again, the Battlehorn is the exeption here). The Battlehorn itself has a slightly larger hitbox, limited view around its rider, but runs at the same speed as other mounts. All mounts should have a base heatlh of around 400 HP, and as far as I can tell 1 point in taming adds 1 hit point to every mount you make. Battlehorns should have about 650 base HP (50 added from the required taming). Every mount has a sound of its own, Garmirs and Eredans being the loudest, the Death Pig - quietest.
- When picking a mount, you need to anticipate the situation you're going into. If you are, say, rushing through a hail of magic, arrows, and other nasty shit, you'll need a Battlehorn, since it will be able to take on a lot more damage then a regular mount. Some people might argue that every situation should be faced with a Horn under you, but I noticed that (as with the Garmir) you eventually get a limited sight on things around you, and you also get a bigger hitbox which is harder to maneuver with. Not to mention that every person seeing a Battlehorn on the field would put it and its rider high on his targets list (as it is easy as fuck to hit). In any case, a BH is good for an additional meatshield, as a lot of people can't seem to shoot the rider through it. It certainly gives you a better chance at surviving an angry mob of spellcasters.
If you were me, however, in a fight, you'd want to take a normal mount, preferably a Horse, a Death Pig, or an Eredan (from best to suckiest). A Horse is ideal for a mounted fight as it provides a pretty straightforward visual representation of what it can do - swing reach is closest to the animated one, for starters - and it also allows for a nice view of the rider's near surroundings (so you can eventually evaluate who's health is low, who is friendly, etc.). The Death Pig is nice because it comes second closest, and it is relatively quiet, followed by the Eredan, who's sound makes it a suck, unless you don't have better options. And not having better options means you're stuck with either a Garmir, with which you have limited size, or a Drake, which puts the rider in some kind of leaned position that reveals his back way too much (althought the Pig does this a bit too). Also, both mounts have highly misleading visuals for their swing arcs and can lead to a lot of mistakes on the battlefield.
Apparently you want a mount made by a high level tamer.
- Now, to be honest, mounted combat is probably the one challange in Df that requires actual player skill. From start (0 riding, 0 weapon skill) to finish (100 riding, at least 50 one hander mastery) you do one thing without any change or variation. You cannot cast spells on a mount, nor you can shoot a bow; you can only cast Rage or drink potions. It's sounds pretty simple, as your only option is to get close to your enemy and hit him repeatedly until he's dead. In fact it requres a lot of practice.
First off, you have to realize (and I have pointed out that somewhere before) that a high classed PvPer on the ground will
defeat a high classed PvPer on a mount. In any moment the person on the ground can outmaneuver, outheal, and outdamage the person on the mount, simply because of his access to magic and arrows. Also, a good PvPer will always aim for the rider, instead of the mount.
There are ways to outsmart almost anyone, however:
a) For starters - block. Always, when riding against someone, bring up your shield. It can literally save your life, and has done so for me in the past.
b) Learn to anticipate your targets movements. Even if you happen to fight one of those rare breed of people that seem to phase in and out of the game at will, you'll still be able to land a hit or two on them if you realize their movement pattern. Most people are like bots, and their reactions can be pretty obvious, if you learn to control them: if you lean to the left, they'll move to the right, etc.
c) I say mounted combat requires player skill because it's highly reaction based. So you need good ping, first. Then, when that guy decides to move to the right once he saw your left lean, you need to quickly double tap the right lean button, and hope you were fast enough and your attack went to the right.
So, either you hit, or the guy is really a top PvPer and doesn't rely on memorized movement patterns (the downfall of most people fighting with me) but rather adapts to his enemy and truly anticipates your movement. Just like you try to do, with the only difference you're still outmaneuvered, outhealed, and outdamaged in the end.

Caterham AeroSeven launch delayed until 2015 for complete redesign
Filed under: Concept Cars, Convertible, Coupe, Performance
Caterham may have found a new distributor in the US, but it will still be some time before buyers get the chance to pick up a production version of its AeroSeven Concept. The lightweight sports car that we thought looked pretty unique and special is going back to the drawing board after criticism from customers in one of the brand's most important markets – Malaysia.
"A lot of the customer feedback we've had so far said that the front was too flat, that it was too much like a slab," Caterham CEO Graham MacDonald told Autocar. "We're looking at redesigning the front end slightly, and we'll be looking at a windscreen and putting a roof on as well."
Doors, windows, roofs and windshields are all fine and dandy on most cars, but the concept of adding these things on a Caterham, a car that so devoutly follows the "add lightness" philosophy of Colin Chapman, is at the very least, unusual. But it's not just what the customers want – it's what the money wants. "Our shareholders are keen that especially in the East, to drive a car like this you need doors and air conditioning and an enclosed space," MacDonald said.
The redesigned AeroSeven is targeted for a debut in 2015.

Graduate student Carroll Flansburg of the University of South Florida is conducting a study funded by the NCAA on collegiate football players who carry Sickle Cell Trait (SCT). The project has been thoroughly reviewed by the University of South Florida's Institutional Review Board and has incorporated the necessary safeguards to ensure participant safety and confidentiality. The NCAA Research Committee would like athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, and athletic administrators to encourage at-risk athletes to participate in this important study.
There are five different types of sickle cell mutations. In people who have sickle cell anemia, it has long been known that two of the five types of mutations cause worse health outcomes than the other three. The South Florida study, "Why Do Some Sickle Cell Carrier Athletes Suffer from Heat Illness?" hypothesizes that these two mutations may also cause ill health in those with SCT.
Participants will be asked to provide a genetic sample so that researchers can determine what type of mutation they carry and correlate it with information regarding their experiences with various symptoms, which will be gathered through a survey. The athletes' genetic information will be destroyed once it has been analyzed and will not be used for any other purposes. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.
"We appreciate you encouraging your athletes to participate," says Flansburg, the study's principle investigator. "Without your support, we do not think the athletes will be likely to participate.
"We expect that this project will help us understand why some, though not all, SCT athletes experience ill health during training," she continues. "We will provide our results to the NCAA so that athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers can make more informed decisions regarding SCT athletes."
For more information or to sign up for the study, go to: https://www.facebook.com/sicklecell.carriers
Contact Carroll Flansburg at 802.585.1054 or email@example.com with any questions or concerns.
To read more about the testing process to detect the sickle cell trait and how to respond to a positive result, read Testing for SCT, by Scott Anderson, ATC, Head Athletic Trainer at the University of Oklahoma.

Easiest way to re-catalog old tapes?
I have been given a random bunch of old tapes - several hundred - and need to import the data onto a SAN.
I have some catalogs but they are incomplete apparently. I've no idea which tapes contain the catalogs files.
The data has no expiry time, and was backed up in backup exec.
Can anyone suggest the best way to import the data? I have backup exec 2012 installed but I guess it would complicate things to add data to my existing catalog. I assume I need to find a quick and dirty way to scan all the tapes and recatalog appropriately.
Is this possible?
Comments 14 Comments • Jump to latest comment
There is no quick and easy way to see the contents of the tapes. You would just have to catalog them one by one. Since you don't know what backup sets are on these tapes, you might want to
1) uncheck the "request all media in sequence" option, and
2) use storage-based catalog
If you don't want to mix the catalogs of these old tapes with your existing catalogs, then
1) stop all the BE services
2) rename the Catalog directory under the BE installation directory to Catalog.old
3) create a new Catalog directory
4) start all the BE services.
Below link describes step by step process involved with explanation too ,
Try doing the above mention steps in the given order and update the outcome
Hope that helps
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
To re-catalog your tapes, do one of the following
1) if you are using a stand-alone tape drive, just put the tape into the tape. In the Storage tab, right-click on tape drive, select inventory and then select catalog
2) if you are using a tape library, put in as much tapes as you can. In the Storage tab, right-click on the library and select inventory and then select catalog.
Hi everyone. When I do a "Inventory and Catalog" the job fails with "The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted".
What's going on? I don't understand this error, as they are obviously not in the media index, hence why I am doing an "Inentory and Catalog".
I just need a fast way to pull the data of the tapes, once. I don't even care too much about catalogs really, but I guess they are necessary if using BE.
If this is not easy to do in BE, does anyone know of any other software that might be more suitable?
I get the same error after ticking "use storage based catalog" ...
However I can see data in the catalogs (ie on the restore screen).
But it might only be from some of the tapes I guess.
At the end of the day, I just dont have the confidence in this product really. I've read somewhere the errors are red-herrings, which would explain why I can see the information in the restore screen.
Have you performed the steps in same order given in the link above by me and also check for any hard read write error on tape or tape drive if there are any please run cleaning operation on tape drive
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.

MSN Money often recycles older personal finance articles for its front page. I don't really mind since I might have missed one in the past. They don't date their articles so you never know when something was originally posted.
They are featuring an article on finding deals on hotel rooms. They give some examples, but here's the bottom line procedure:
* Start your search on Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity. Each site will give you a different mix of results.
* Pick one hotel you like and visit that hotel's website (or the hotel chain's website) to find a lower rate.
* Call the hotel, ask for the lowest rate, and then negotiate using the familiar line, "Is that the best you can do?" Calling the hotel on Sunday gives you a better chance to get someone who's free to negotiate on price. Call again at the last minute. Some rooms may have opened up or prices may have changed.
* If your web search returns "no availability" for a particular hotel, check the hotel's website anyway.
The article has further suggestions for upgrading hotel rooms or aiming for super non-refundable rates through sites like Hotwire and Priceline (PCLN) but that can be risky.
