Regina's Daniel Gaffey tackles Solon's J.J. Hanus in the first quarter Sept. 2, 2011, in Iowa City.
- Filed Under
The quietest, most humble and self-effacing guy in a Regina uniform also is the meanest man on the field.
Daniel Gaffey, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound two-way senior lineman for the Regals is a man of contrasting personalities, and that's just fine with his teammates and coaches. Talk to him and he quietly and thoughtfully ponders questions before giving measured responses. On the field, he creates havoc on defense and plows over defenders on offense.
"He's a quiet monster," defensive line coach Mike Brinkman said. "He's not going to be the rah-rah guy out there, but he's intense and he plays very ...

Zoopla provides incredibly detailed information about homes throughout the country, regardless of whether they are for sale or not.
What we liked: The site?s unique approach lets you monitor house prices closely, place offers on properties that are not even on the market and pre-empt potential sales when the time is right.
Zoopla?s AskMe section lets you request and share advice on property-related issues, from general questions about moving house to specific information about the quality of pubs in a particular area. The site provides a wealth of useful content, including sale prices dating back to 2000 and current estimates for more than 26 million homes in the UK.
Sellers can list their houses free of charge, while the site?s user-friendly design makes it easy for prospective buyers to contact them with questions or offers. Click the entry for an individual property and you?ll find detailed local information ? including school performance, council tax charges and crime figures ? along with graphs of value trends and a birds-eye photo from Microsoft Virtual Earth.
How it can be improved:
The sheer volume of information can seem a little overwhelming at first. Also, while properties that aren?t currently on the market can be filtered out of search results, it?s not immediately obvious how to do so.
Our verdict:
Zoopla is an excellent source of property advice and information. It sports a smart design, is very easy to use and gives you the opportunity to research all you need to know about millions of houses in the UK from the comfort of your PC.

The 25-year-old Yojin (Matsuyama Kenichi) lives with his grandma in a village in Aomori Prefecture. Hes training himself to grow vegetables with the help of audio tapes left by his late grandpa and tries to organize his days systematically... but Yojins head is wired differently. Not broken, he says, just different. Yojins life changes the day he meets Machiko, the primary-school teacher newly arrived from Tokyo. Its love at first sight. But Machiko is still traumatized by the decapitation of her boyfriend in a car-smash, not to mention the fact that he was with another woman at the time.

Come view the fall colors from atop the 127-ft Highland Water Tower during the autumn open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 13-14. The tower's observation deck provides visitors with a spectacular view of the area, particularly looking down on the changing colors of the trees dotting the Highland Park golf course below and out toward the Mississippi River. On a clear day, airplanes can be seen lifting off from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport to the south. The scene stretches from the Saint Paul city skyline on the east to the Minneapolis skyline on the west. The event provides an excellent opportunity for photographs and a fun family outing.
The water tower is an historic landmark located in the Highland neighborhood at the intersection of Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway. Admission is free and open to the public. Visitors are invited to climb the 151-step staircase inside the tower to the observation deck. The tower, which was designed by Clarence W. "Cap" Wigington, was completed in 1928. Wigington, an architect for the City of Saint Paul from 1915 to 1949, also designed many other important structures in the area, including the Keller Golf Course Clubhouse (1929) , the Saint Paul Public Safety Building (1929–30), and the Como Park Pavilion (1934). The construction of the Highland Water Tower includes facings of Kasota and Bedford stone and a riveted steel-plate tank with a capacity of 200,000 gallons. The tower is still used today to help supply water in the Highland area. A collection of several original Highland Tower blueprints, many of which bear Wigington's signature, will be displayed inside the tower.
The open house is designed to inform residents about municipal water and the efforts of the utility to preserve and protect water resources. Information about the utility's water treatment process and distribution system will be available. Utility employees will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about utility services.
For more information, please contact Saint Paul Regional Water Services at (651)266-6350.

The Magazine
Oct 12, 1998, Vol. 4, No. 05 • By DAVID FRUM
Former housing and urban development secretary Henry Cisneros also goes to trial this fall on charges of lying to the FBI about payments to a former mistress, Linda Medlar. Cisneros and Medlar started their affair in 1987, when he was mayor of San Antonio and she was a campaign aide. The affair became public the next year, and Cisneros retired from politics.
Cisneros succeeded in patching up his marriage after the scandal. Medlar had more trouble: She divorced and was unable to find work to support herself and her daughter. After Cisneros returned to his wife, he began making cash payments to Medlar -- payments that totaled over $ 250,000 between 1989 and 1994. In 1993, Cisneros got the tap to join the Clinton cabinet and was asked by the FBI about his relationship with Medlar. He told them that he had paid her no more than $ 10,000 a year. In 1994, Medlar exposed the story, and an independent counsel was appointed. In December 1997, Cisneros was indicted.
Cisneros has by and large received very sympathetic media treatment, in part because Medlar is an unappealing character. (She had been indicted herself for tampering with evidence.) But take a second look. Yes, he was the victim of blackmail. But unanswered questions swirl about his case, of which the most important is, Where did the $ 250,000 come from? Cisneros was not a rich man, and while he seems to have earned a comfortable living in his four years in the private sector, he had two college-age daughters and a sick son to support. The independent counsel's indictment notes that Cisneros's political supporters offered to provide Medlar with a job. Did any of them give him money for her too? If so, did those gifts cease when Cisneros entered the Clinton administration?
And what about Cisneros's tax liability? The FBI wasn't asking about the size of his payments to Medlar out of prurience: There's a federal tax due on gifts of more than $ 10,000 per year, and there's no record of Cisneros's ever having paid it. Tax chiseling is a serious crime. Lying to the FBI is a serious crime, too -- although when Cisneros comes to trial, we can expect to be told: If you're cheating on your taxes and paying blackmail with money that comes from who-knows-where, of course you're going to lie about it.
Questions have been raised about Alexis Herman's ethics ever since she served in the Carter administration. As an official in the Labor Department between 1977 and 1981, she steered millions of dollars of grants to groups like Jesse Jackson's PUSH. Jackson's group was in those days arm-twisting corporations into agreeing to quotas for minority contractors -- and after Herman left government, it was her firm that Jackson urged companies to hire to monitor the quotas.
Herman's private-sector career over the next dozen years was lucrative. She did especially well out of real estate, getting a slice of the action in downtown-Washington developments -- including the Ronald Reagan Building -- from developers who understood that taking care of friends of Jesse Jackson could speed approval by Marion Barry's city hall. A protege of Ron Brown's, Herman went to work in the Clinton administration, where her main duty seemed to be fund-raising for the 1996 Clinton campaign. (Herman arranged the bulk of the "it's only coffee" White House fund-raisers.) As a reward for a job well done, she succeeded Robert Reich as labor secretary in 1997.
Almost immediately, an African businessman named Laurent Yene stepped forward to accuse Herman of demanding kickbacks from him. In 1994, Yene had gone into business with -- and set up housekeeping with -- a good friend of Herman's named Vanessa Weaver. Weaver had bought Herman's diversity-consulting business when Herman joined the Clinton administration, and between 1994 and 1996 Weaver visited Herman at the White House some two dozen times, often in the company of her clients. Yene charges that Weaver and he had an understanding with Herman that they would pay Herman 10 percent of any business she helped to generate. He also charges that Herman pushed Weaver to ask clients to make donations to the 1996 Clinton campaign.

Admiral Michael Rogers, commander of US Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and chief of the Central Security Service, speaks during the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association Cybersecurity Summit in Washington, DC, May 28, 2014. AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB (Photo credit should read SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images) (SAUL LOEB / AFP/Getty Images)
On April 3, Adm. Michael Rogers became commander of the U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, both headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland.
On June 24, Rogers discussed his initial thoughts as the new guy on the job as the nations top cyber warrior during a keynote address to a cybersecurity conference in Baltimore organized by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association International. Following are edited excerpts:
Thank you very much for taking the time from your very busy days to focus on a topic that I think is of critical importance to us as a nation: this idea of how do we maintain security in a cyber arena in a world where cyber continues to grow in importance and, at the same time, the level of vulnerability that is present within our cyber systems has probably never been greater. So thats quite a challenge for anybody.
Ive now been commanding the United States Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency for almost 90 days, so I have just enough knowledge now to be truly dangerous. Ill share with you a few thoughts. One of my first take-aways is cyber is the ultimate team sport. There is no one single organization that has all the answers, there is no one single technology that will solve all of our problems, meet all of our challenges. This is a mission set that does not know clearly defined lines. In the Department of Defense, we traditionally often like to use geography as one way to align our responsibilities, to define our problem sets our networks just flat out dont recognize geography, which is one reason why U.S. Cyber Command is a little different. It is organized as a global command focused on a particular mission set.
The role of partnerships
This is about creating partnerships, about how do we bring together the expertise of the private sector and academia with the capabilities that a large entity like the federal government brings to the fight. How do we bring this all together, and how do we do it in an environment where at times, quite frankly, parts of the team arent fully trusted? And thats where I put on my hat as the director of NSA and have to publicly acknowledge one of my challenges in that job is ensuring the nation understands what we do and why, because that hasnt been much a part of the discussion over the last year or so.
DISA needs DoDIN operational mission, says cyber chief
Agency heads hash out critical infrastructure protection roles
Those partnerships exist within the Department of Defense, as the services and the joint world come together, to generate capacity for the department, and, by extension, the nation. Whether its operating and defending our own networks within the department, whether it is directed by the president or the secretary of defense to be prepared to apply the departments capability in the defense of critical infrastructure. Again, cyber is not unique in that regard. The Department of Defense provides capabilities to support civil authorities in a wide range of scenarios almost every day all over this nation; so cyber is no different in that regard. But its different in the sense that its just something new.
So one of the things that I find in my current job is I spend a lot of time as a senior trying to create those relationships, those partnerships. Whether its yesterday, for example, the secretary of Homeland Security, myself and the FBI director getting together trying to talk about, So what can we do collectively between our organizations to help build that partnership, to help the U.S. government apply its capabilities to support the broader civil sector thats out there?
Cyber legislation
I believe that cyber legislation remains a very important part of this journey because while the voluntary basis for information sharing that we have been using for the last few years has shown some progress, it just has not gotten us where we need to be. And I believe we have to come up with some vehicle to help the private sector deal with its very valid concerns about liability, how its going to deal with the liability it potentially incurs if it shares information with the federal government, if it takes action based on information the federal government provides.
But in the end, if we cant create an environment where we have a dynamic information flow and a common situational awareness between particularly critical infrastructure in the civil sector and the capabilities that the U.S. government brings to this fight whether it be in the form of DHS and their capabilities, whether it be in the form of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, whether it be with FBI, the Secret Service and law enforcement piece if we cant bring this all together in a real-time basis, its like were fighting with one hand tied behind our backs, and its a losing defensive proposition to me.
The partnerships in particular become so critical for us. When I look at U.S. Cyber Command specifically, the Department of Defense is in the midst of a three-year journey thats going to create a cyber workforce of approximately a little over 6,000 individuals. U.S. Cyber Command is leading that effort by partnering with the services because Im always quick to remind my joint teammates its the services that generate capacity and capability. The joint world applies those capabilities, applies that capacity, but without strong service partners we cannot achieve what we need to do.
Building, maintaining a cyber workforce
I tell you, when I started this journey in cyber in uniform for me about 10 years ago as my first tour where I really started working cyber, I had two initial concerns at that time. The first was: Will the manning and the manpower policies that we use in the department enable us to create a cyber workforce in uniform that has the requisite knowledge and that will change over time to stay consistent with the threat and challenges? I look back over a decade and I have been very pleasantly surprised at our ability to build, recruit, train and obtain a very high-end cyber workforce. As I try to tell our leadership Look, cyber is not different than any other aspect of life in uniform; we are not going to compete on the basis of pay. If the metric is how much were going to pay these highly capable cyber warriors, were not going to be able to pay as much as we do on the outside. Where were going to make our difference is we have some things that we can offer that are not as readily available on the outside. Were an organization with an ethos of service, the idea of dedicating ones life to something bigger than ones self. That is a powerful idea that resonates with people; that is what life in uniform is ultimately all about to me.
We are going to give people the ability to apply a very important skill set in the defense of the nation; thats a real positive edge for us. And were going to do it in a career pattern that will enable you to grow over time, that will give you increased responsibility over time, and will enable you to see the world while youre doing it, and were going to give you a lot of responsibility very early. Those are all real positives to me in terms of our ability to recruit and obtain the kind of men and women that we need. Because in the end I have great appreciation for technology. But what truly gives us our edge is not our technical capability, its the men and women, the gray matter they bring to this fight and the heart they bring to this fight; that is our ultimate difference.
The second thing when I think back 10 years ago when I first started my journey in cyber was I was concerned that it was probably going to be challenging not just to obtain and build a workforce, but how were we going to be able to sustain it over time? Given the rate of change in this environment, how do we ensure that their skills remain relevant over a 10-, 20-year career in a field where the technology is changing fairly rapidly? That is still a bit of a challenge for us; thats one area where I think collectively weve got to step back and say to ourselves, You know, maybe we need to take a look at how can we do things differently. Ive already made the argument on the NSA side, for example, if we cant build a pattern where men and women are coming in and out of the organization over 20 to 30 years, we are not going to stay current with cutting-edge technology, and I think thats important for us. Youve got to create mechanisms where our workforce can spend time with us and then can potentially shift to another set of experiences outside us and then come back. Thats a little harder to do in the uniform world, but its something Im going to talk to the services about how potentially can we do that?
The federal-civilian interface
The other thing that I think we really need to spend a lot of time on is how do we help our civilian counterparts understand how the federal government is organized to provide them cyber support and just how they can interface with us? I just had this conversation yesterday with a couple seniors where I said, You know lets be honest with ourselves, if youre outside the federal government right now is it a challenge at times to figure how are we organized? How is the government organized and whats the expectation for individual companies to interface with us? Do we want them to go to the DHS, do we want them to go to the FBI, do we want them to go to the DoD; whats the right answer? Should we take a sector-specific approach? Are we going to do this more broadly? We are working our way through those steps right now, but our ability to create those partnerships is critical to the future because the reality is I believe that in my lifetime, as the commander of the United States Cyber Command, that this nation will see, either from another nation-state or a group or a set of individuals, efforts designed to cause destructive cyber impacts against critical U.S. infrastructure. I believe that that will happen in my lifetime my service lifetime.
So one of my primary focuses is how do you generate the capacity to stop that? And one of the conclusions Ive come to is: DoD is only going to be one part of this. In the end, its about that broader set of partnerships that are going to be key to our success. How are we going to do that? What are the expectations and the relationships that were going to create? How do we share situation awareness across government and private lines? Thats a little unusual for us, but in my view, thats what we need ultimately to be able to do.
So as the new guy coming up on 90 days in command, thats designed to give you a sense of what are the things that I tend to focus on right now and what do I think are some of the challenges.

Hey everybody! I'm Aaron, and they say I'm cute, hence AaronCute.com, the name of my official, very personal site. If you want to know me better and get some really exclusive material, welcome! I was born and I currently live in Russia, in Siberia, it's coldest and most remote region, probably far from just about anywhere in the world. My home town is close to the Baikal, a famous lake. I'm a high school student. My ambition is to become a pilot. Pretty unusual huh?
I enjoy lots of stuff but music and cinema are probably my favorites. I dig dreamy tunes, ambient, atmospheric breaks, downtempo, deep minimal, this sort of thing. You can actually hear my favorite tracks in my videos. As for the films, I like stuff which sticks with you. I also like to think about what I saw in a movie, you know, trying to understand what it's all about. Art house movies are my thing, Pedro Almodovar, Kusturica, Burton, Lynch and the like. But don't you think I'm such an artsy nerd. Playing the guitar, skating and snowboarding float my boat just as much. It's pretty damn cold here in winter, so one can't spend much time outdoors. Staying in and browsing the net for hot guys to meet is the thing I enjoy.
I have to say I'm totally addicted to stroking my cock! I would sometimes get myself off 3-4 times a day. It feels great to do this in unusual places, in elevators, attics, onbuses (when there's no one else there of course), at my friends' places etc. I do it everywhere I can feel alone for 10-15 minutes. Hell, I'm only 19, so a boner pops up whenever I even THINK about sex! Sometimes my jeans just get too tight because of yet another boner. And now I'm hard I kinda feel shy when I know guys arechecking me out, but it turns me on as well. I love when men stare at my bum. I know they like it! I don't have a regular bf cause I just don't feel sure enough about what I want. I like young guys for their beauty and older men are cool as well, so experienced and smart. All about twink teen boys.

Department Requests Proposals For Statewide Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Manager
MADISON-The Department of Health Services today released a request for proposals (RFP) for a statewide Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) manager. The proposals are due Monday, February 21, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.
"One of the Department's top priorities is to secure a transportation manager who will be able to assist Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members to get to their covered medical services if they have no other way to get there," said Secretary Dennis G. Smith. "By releasing this RFP, the Department has the unique opportunity to not only secure one statewide NEMT manager, but also to incorporate feedback and suggestions we received over the past year from legislators, the public and members who receive transportation through the NEMT manager."
Changes to the RFP made based on feedback and suggestions include:
- A requirement that members and providers are able to create reservations online;
- A requirement that members have the ability to submit complaints online;
- A clarification and implementation of member appeals and fair hearing process; and
- Establish liquidated damages for issues such as:
- Failure to provide transportation;
- Transportation providers arriving late;
- Transportation providers use of vehicles that do not meet established vehicle standards;
- Transportation providers failure to transport members to dialysis and cancer treatments and getting members there on time; and
- Ensure call hold times are in compliance.
"It is also important for BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid members who schedule rides to covered services through the current NEMT manager, LogistiCare, to know that there are no changes right now for them and they should continue scheduling rides through LogistiCare," said Secretary Smith. "Members will be notified if any changes are made."
The Department is pursuing a statewide contract for a transportation manager to better coordinate these services and arrange for the most appropriate means of transportation for each member. These can include local transportation providers and common carriers such as buses and taxis.
Through this RFP, the Department plans to:
- Ensure that all Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members have reasonable and timely access to transportation to covered services;
- Ensure that Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members use the most appropriate and economical mode of transportation;
- Eliminate fraud and abuse in Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus transportation;
- Increase efficiency within the Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus non-emergency medical transportation program; and,
- Collect and report transportation data.
The RFP can be found at dhs.wisconsin.gov/initiatives/transportation/procurement.htm

Re: Federation is inhumanly benevolent
Slavery was with humanity from the beginning, and we came to understand it as wrong, we morally declared it wrong, and we made it illegal. If we can overcome that, we can overcome all our other evils like greed and violence and racism and bigotry, and we are constantly evolving to social perfection and evolving closer to utopia with the end product being utopia. So in centuries to come things will continue to be more and more utopian.
It actually is a bit like the Borg in narrative. Closer and closer to perfection, always evolving towards perfection. Except man's perfection is not malicious in the way of what is essentially a rape on the part of the Borg towards individuals and species with their assimilation process; forcing the will of a mass and their idea on a people, and forcibly stealing people from their own self determination and very soul in what is a cruel torture of making someone themselves but not themselves. Or, you can make Federation utopianism malicious by saying the Cold War era thought had those same properties: coming out of WW2 and going through the first half of the Cold War, government was big and intrusive (to some opinions at least) and did things like pay farmers to plant certain crops and banned them from planting certain crops (to avoid flooding the market too much with a commodity; fear of economic depression for want of regulation was high), and socially during that era people kept there heads down and didn't make too much of a ruckus because they didn't want to rock any boats and they wanted their utopia with a house in suburbia with a white picket fence, a wife who cleaned and cooked and knew her place, and 2.5 kids with crew cuts for Billy and a nice dress for Susie, and Billy would go join the army or work in a factory or office like his dad, and Susie would know her place as a good wife when she grew up, and things would go great forever with better living through chemistry. And woe to whoever made a ruckus during that time, like the blacks asking for Civil Rights or the Beatniks, because to those people wanting their utopia, how dare these people cause havoc to our perfection? And so they disliked those people, to varying degrees from calling them lazy good for nothings to beating them up or beating them to death, and that just got worse as then women wanted equality, and there was a war effort in Southeast Asia these longhairs were protesting and they were being unpatriotic for protesting, and so on. Mind you, I'm speaking not of personal opinion but in the voice of how these people thought. Persecution of anything different was big. And these are people who later voted for Nixon (not the whole of the voters, but the "I want my 50s back" segment was big). So for those reasons, you could take the view of Federation utopianism as malicious because it is based on that post-WW2, Cold war utopian and because in that thought process, deviation from what is declared the norm, deviation being free will, is persecuted and not ideally allowed and everyone lives in houses made out of ticky tacky and all look just the same and go to college and they all come out the same and get married and the marriages are all just the same. You could also take the view that that version of utopian optimism is a naive and malicious one and that the type of Cold War era optimism that went into Star Trek was not that version at all, and welcomed differences and promoted them. You could alternately take the view that all utopianism demands lack of difference and lack of free will and conformity, and utopia is inherently malicious. This is a fruitful area for debate.

Re: Federation is inhumanly benevolent
At the same time (or perhaps different times) there is a directive to largely leave "primitive" people alone. It would seem obvious that this directive is subject to modification, but it is there. The people of the Federation made a collective decision to have this directive.
So, reasonably well-intentioned, not implausibly well-intentioned.

Re: Federation is inhumanly benevolent
The Orgainians can conquer all to combined empires we ever see, but they just want to be left alone.
The Metrons might be able to as well, but they don't really leave their system.
The Talosians are less "benevolent" but they show the ability to project convincing illusions over light years distance and could certainly carve out quite an empire with that ability.
The First Federation really didn't seem aggressive, the Fesarius seemed like it could conquer quite a bit, and we don't know how many there are like it.
The Thasians could be very dangerous, but they only seemed to be concerned with other's saftey, saving Charlie and then saving everyone else from him.
Trelane wasn't benevolent, but his parents were. If their "kid" could create planets and drive them around, I think they would have serious power potential.
I haven't even gotten out of the first season, but I think I made my point.
And I agree, the Federation seems exceptionally "nice" to almost everyone, the Haulkans, Capellans, and Organians (before they reveal their true nature) case in point.

Re: Federation is inhumanly benevolent
1) Human beings were much more barbaric 300 years ago than they are today. Star Trek assumes the trend will continue in that direction. We are already making "rapid progress," as Captain Picard once said.
2) The Federation has apparently renounced materialism. This seems outlandish and unimaginable to us, since materialism seems as natural to Americans and Europeans as breathing air. But materialism is not an innate human trait -- it's a relatively recent development in human history, and it's by no means universal on Earth today. One interpretation for modern materialism is that it points to a spiritual emptiness. Although the Federation isn't particularly religious, Star Trek characters seem spiritually fulfilled by their humanist belief that the purpose of existence is to improve oneself. Once people stop taking comfort in material possessions, the material needs of the whole society are much less, and the society no longer has as much cause of conflict with others.
3) Speaking of material needs, technology and space travel have eliminated most of the remaining material needs in the Federation. Food and basic goods are produced by replication. Power is produced by fusion, antimatter reactions and renewable sources. Weather disasters are preventable. Colonizing other planets has lead to unlimited land and natural resources. No one is hungry, no one is uneducated, everyone's basic needs are met.
4) For all the advantages provided by the Federation's philosophy and technology, Federation morality is not a fait accompli. Especially on Classic Trek, we see that it is a standard the characters are holding themselves to and are constantly struggling to reach. Human nature hasn't changed, just human values.
Ultimately, I think that whether you find Star Trek realistic is going to depend on a personal belief: do you believe human beings are basically good or basically evil. If you believe that people are basically evil, then you will also believe that a utopia like the Federation would free human beings to be even more diabolical. If you believe that we're basically good, then a utopia like the Federation would give us the opportunity to be angels.
To me, there is no doubt that we're basically good. If we didn't intrinsically value goodness, we couldn't even have even created the concept of goodness. Maybe my belief in human goodness is what draws me to Star Trek, or maybe it comes from the fact that I grew up watching Star Trek. I couldn't say. But that's what I believe that that's why I find Star Trek's future believable.

utopianism doesn't demand conformity, and there is no such thing as "free will."

Commit a crime and they send you off to an asteroid someplace to make your mind right. Okay, the guy we saw using thew machine was kind of screwed-up himself, but still. Someone somewhere in the Federation government thought this was a good idea to begin with. That's pretty freaking scary if you ask me.

Actually this was the first trainer since i joined CH that wouldn't work so i have no reason to complain.
Please help
Here is a list of changes made in today's 743.0 patch:
- Resolved a problem where mouse control in the basecamp upgrade screen would not work properly since build 742.0.- Stereo3D parameters for strength and depth can now be modified in the registry beyond their normal in-game range again.- GPU performance improvements, specifically at higher quality levels.
Thanks to Caliber, 0x90, and the rest of the CH crew for getting this out so fast. I wasn't aware there had been an update until I got a message saying the trainer had been updated. I checked my steam messages and it said that if the game doesn't update then restart the steam client. You all amaze me with how efficient this site runs. Fast trainer updates and instant notification when they happen, not to mention how the site is almost never down so that the trainer can authenticate itself when running. I wish more websites ran as well as this does. Thanks again everyone. One very happy customer!
I couldn't agree more, thanks CH!!

McKeesport star signs with Texas Tech
TribLIVE Sports Videos
McKeesport football coach Jim Ward began fielding questions about standout defensive tackle Delvon Simmon's future nine months ago.
On Thursday, Ward was relieved to finally be able to provide an answer.
Simmons signed a binding letter of intent to play at Texas Tech starting next season, ending one of the longest, widest-spanning recruiting processes in McKeesport history.
"I know I'm happy its all over," Ward said. "I don't feel like it's ever ended.
"I'm just glad for him. I feel like, in the end, each school presented a great opportunity."
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Simmons, who didn't return phone calls from the Tribune-Review yesterday, chose Texas Tech over 20 Division I offers. His final decision, however, came down to offers from Texas Tech, Southern Cal and Pitt.
"It was hard for him," Ward said of Simmons who made an unofficial visit to Pitt last week. "He liked (USC and Pitt) a lot. I think that's probably what took him so long to make a decision."
Simmons will be joined at Texas Tech next season by McKeesport linebacker Branden Jackson and Clairton defensive end Desimon Green.
Simmons' journey to Lubbock, Texas, almost never happened.
After originally committing to North Carolina on National Signing Day on Feb. 3, Simmons asked Tar Heels coach Butch Davis to be released from his agreement last month. That decision came after North Carolina defensive line coach Brian Baker took the same job with the Dallas Cowboys five days after Signing Day.
When Texas Tech hired former TCU secondary coach Chad Glasgow as its defensive coordinator, Simmons became sold on becoming a Red Raider.
Glasgow previously coached 10 years at TCU and was an original member of coach Gary Patterson's staff. He will employ a 4-5 defensive front that Simmons feels comfortable with.
"It's a similar scheme to what he would have played at North Carolina," Ward said. "Scheme always remained very important to him. This now kind of evened Texas Tech out, now that they hired that new defensive coordinator."
Simmons recorded a team-high 77 tackles — 17 for a loss — with seven sacks during his senior season at McKeesport. He also had three sacks and recovered a fumble as Pennsylvania's lone representative in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January in San Antonio.
"He felt this was the best opportunity for him," Ward said.

Alex Anthopoulos, the General manager of the Toronto Bluejays has been taking some slack as of late, with another losing record, key injuries, losing manager John Farrell, etc. But on Tuesday evening, he shut his critics up, for a little while anyways. Anthopoulos got in the driver's seat and put the pedal to the metal, acquiring speedy shortstop Jose Reyes, starting pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, IF/OF Emilio Bonifacio and backstopper John Buck.
Now on paper, these guys didn't have such a great season with their new team in Miami, but with the right mix of vets and young guns the Jays now have a very solid-looking roster, and I don't think Anthopoulos is done there.
Leaving the Jays organization is shortstop Yunel Escobar, pitcher Henderson Alvarez, IF Adeiny Hechavarria whom had a short stint to showcase his talents, catcher Jeff Mathis, and 3 prospects in the Jays system. This trade is definitely a short-term gain in return for a long-term pain. The Jays did give up on young players and prospects, but at the same time, Anthopoulos has been stocking up, and felt this was the right time to unload some of the organizations youth for what some people call a one-sided trade, for the time being. The Jays really will benefit from this trade starting this year, as they desperately need the help on the mound, and acquiring 2 solid pitchers in Buehrle and Johnson will help immediately. Jose Reyes adds something the Jays struggled to find within their system, a lead off man. They tried Colby Rasmus, Anthony Gose, and speedy fielder Rajai Davis, but the consistency was not there. Now with Reyes, he provides a solid batting average, with power and a ton of speed giving the Manager of the Jays (whoever that may be) a very strong start to their batting lineup.
What could happen now? Well the Jays now have 3 catchers, Buck, Arencibia and young prospect d' Arnaud. If I were a betting man, i would assume that Anthopoulos would find a new home for Arencibia. Sources say d' Arnaud is ready to make the jump to the big league and Buck could fill in and even split duties if need be. So what about pitching? Ricky Romero was given the "Ace" status before the season began, but a terrible second half really derailed his confidence, therefore forcing something to happen.
The Jays roster could look pretty dangerous, especially if Anthopoulos is not done yet, and if free agents will consider Toronto now that they have a solid team on paper. We can't forget about guys like Morrow, Santos, Lincoln, Janssen, Lawrie, Bautista, Encarnacion to name a few. I've been a Jays fan my whole baseball fan life, and I can honestly say this is the first time I've been really optimistic in quite some time now. The Jays still need a new bench boss, so until then, I will fill in.
Batting Lineup Pitching Relievers
1- Reyes (SS) 1 – Buehrle 1 – Lincoln
2- Lawrie (3rd) 2 – Morrow 2 – Janssen
3- Bautista (RF) 3 – Romero 3 – Crawford

I did look into this last night, I did fix the minor issue of the checkformp3 cmd saying that it is an invalid cmd. Trying to see what/where there could be an issue. What type of audio files do you have?
I am running mostly wma with sprinkled mp4. This was not a problem until the April/May? (dont remember the exact) updates or RR. I had not changed anything except stay up to date. This is all on my test PC until corrected as it continues to work on my installed car PC, with whichever unupdated version of RR it is running. I will check if it helps to know what that version might be.
I was testing with the July release, and was no prob here.
Blue, I installed DFX on "W7" machine and "CNN News" works just fine,...still trying to figure this out on the XP machine though, maybe a codec problem?
OK, I'm not sure if this a "InternetRadio" problem or not, but I'll try to describe this the best I can,....well, hear it goes.
I added all my custom station in the "StationList.ini" and they don't get deleted on me, which I say Thanks to you and John for adding that in.
I see that in "PlayLists"---> "_My Saved Stations" folder there is a few hand picked .m3u stations that john or you mention adding, so I figure that I add all my custom stations that I have listed in the "StationList.ini" file...but as (.m3u, .pls, .ax) files...etc.
Then I setup a button for one of my custom stations
ie, the button already labeled piano by you guys which plays that station as expected.
Then I change that button to ie, "Iron Maiden Radio" plays as expected, no problem there.
I click on another button... any button, it plays that station, another one you guys picked.
Then I click on the button that I labeled "Iron Maiden Radio" the one I assigned "Iron Maiden Radio".m3u for, but now it reverts back the piano.m3u again, even though it's labeled "Iron Maiden Radio". Why???? :confused:
Then I went to look in the "_My Saved Stations" folder, and all my custom stations are still there, and they play fine outside of RR/DFX.
Any Ideas?
Blue or John- im going to try the update tonight, thank you for doing this! also when are you implementing time-shifting for all the audio heard through dfx? ( ;) ),
Video feature disabled while vehicle is in motion?? I am sitting in my drive way engine off, PC plugged into the wall outlet
video just stop playing inside DFX and a POP UP This feature disabled while vehicle is in motion??
Please tell where or how to remedy this. (my wife hates the Car PC)
I'll get to the rest of that post when I have a chance to read it and figure out what it is your saying. I just skimmed it, need to read it word for word...hehe
I was reading about getting RRVoice going and you're working on DFXVoice. I am just starting to test with latest skin and RR 07-01-2011.
Went and got the andrea mic and trained it OK. So far, the Mic Icon is GREEN, so it seems to work.
My question after reading the notes on DFX and RRVoice pertains to pushing a button to tell the system to start listening. I have seen mice, keybords, push buttons, etc discussed -
Would it be possible to configure the main skin to start listening when you just press the microphone icon at the top of the screen?
I haven't looked at the code at all, so i don't know what all it does now, but can you add multiple functions to a button / icon?
Did you try clicking the mic icon? LOL

The Señorío de Astobiza wines are known for being fruity, smooth and elegant.
Our strategy is based on high quality from the vineyard to the table.
The winery has been built within the vineyard itself, after spending 11 years dedicated exclusively to viticulture.
The location of the vineyard is noteworthy, amidst mountains, in the Aiala valley, at a height of 200 metres and 10 km. from the sea, south-facing, and protected from storms from the north by the Bilbao mountains and from the south by Sierra Salvada.
We opt for the Hondarrabi zuri grape variety, as this is an ideal grape for producing the best Txakoli.

This week's On the Market column "A Long Winter's Nap" recaps the outlook for wheat in 2013 that I presented at the DTN/The Progressive Farmer Ag Summit earlier in December.
Wheat is a tricky market with all the different classes potentially showing different signals. In this case, I used the Chicago market as a proxy for all wheat, including Minneapolis spring wheat, to discuss general trends. As time goes on I can focus on specific markets (e.g. Minneapolis, Kansas City, etc.) as technical changes dictate.
A look at the long-term monthly Chicago wheat chart and accompanying studies shows a seemingly wide array of trend and momentum changes. However, upon closer inspection, the changes really aren't there. For example, my read on the major (long-term) trend remains up, given the combination of chart signals and monthly stochastics (momentum indicator, second study). The bullish turn goes back to September/October 2009 time frame when the most active contract posted a low of $4.39 1/4. Yes, I know the market posted a lower low of $4.25 1/2 in June 2010, but keep in mind the market's penchant for head-fakes.
What gives the 2009 low the look of the turning point is the bullish crossover by monthly stochastics below the oversold level of 20%. In June 2010, both the faster moving blue line and slower moving red line stayed above 20%. Also note that the subsequent high of $8.93 1/4 established in February 2011 was not in combination with a bearish crossover above 80%. The crossover occurred the following month with both lines (red and blue) back below 80%. This can be interpreted as the trend is sideways to down rather than strictly down. Also notice that the high ($8.93 1/4) was a test of the 50% retracement level of the previous downtrend from $13.49 1/2 through the previously mentioned low of $4.39 1/4.
After hitting the 2011 high the market fell back to support near $6.00. At that point the market gathered itself for the next leg of the uptrend that extended to the 2012 high of $9.47 1/4 (July 2012) before falling back toward retracement support at $7.78. It should be pointed out that the 2012 high did not see a monthly stochastic crossover above 80%, once again indicating the major uptrend remains in place though the secondary (intermediate-term) trend was sideways to down (also seen on the weekly chart).
As mentioned above, the market could find support at $7.78, the 33% retracement of the ongoing uptrend from $4.39 1/4 through the 2012 high. Now take a look at the trend in the nearby futures spread (bottom study). The trend looks to be sideways to up, meaning a weakening of the carry could continue to be seen indicating a less bearish commercial outlook. However, given that the carry remains near 10 cents the futures market could possibly pull back to support at the 50% retracement level of $6.93 1/4.
Ultimately the market should be able to establish one more leg up before the major uptrend is completed. How high this might be depends a great deal on how bullish the futures spreads become. The nearby spread could test resistance at the February 2012 peak of a 3 3/4 cent carry, pulling the nearby futures contract back to a possible test of the 2012 high.

Jonathan seeks $1bn to fight militantsComment on this story
Abuja -
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday sought parliamentary approval to borrow up to $1 billion in foreign loans to fight an insurgency by Boko Haram militants which has claimed thousands of lives in the past five years.
In separate letters to both houses of the National Assembly, Jonathan said there is an "urgent need" to upgrade the equipment, training and logistics of the armed forces and security services help them "confront this serious threat".
Citing the "ongoing and serious security challenges which the nation is facing, as typified by the Boko Haram terrorist threat", Jonathan said he is seeking to borrow up to $1 billion.
No date has been set yet for a debate on the president's request and there is no indication of where Nigeria could borrow from.
Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima said last February that Boko Haram was "better armed and better motivated" than government forces - a statement rejected by the military.
Borno in the north-east has been under a state of emergency, along with neighbouring Yobe and Adamawa states, since May last year.
The Islamist rebels seized 276 girls from a secondary school in the Borno town of Chibok more than three months ago, triggering global outrage. Fifty-seven of them escaped, while 219 others are still missing. - Sapa-AFP

I am taking this opportunity to thank just one of the many people who have helped me through my own celiac disease diagnosis and through the process of starting NFCA. After visiting countless doctors, I finally received my diagnosis of celiac disease in 1994. Shortly after, the gastroenterologist who diagnosed me retired from his practice and I began to see Dr. Anthony J. DiMarino, currently the Director of the Celiac Center at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
Before being diagnosed with celiac disease, I suffered through multiple miscarriages. Dr. DiMarino and I suspected my experience with miscarriages were directly linked to undiagnosed celiac disease. Together, we poured over European research which confirmed our suspicion and started us on the path to publish a paper on reproductive health and celiac disease so we could help others who were struggling like I was. Words can't describe how grateful I was to meet a doctor I could trust. Dr. DiMarino always listened to me and gave me hope that things could be different for those of us living with celiac disease. This fueled my desire to start NFCA even more; I knew I had to raise awareness of this autoimmune disease and help others like me find the help they needed, too.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Here is a photo of Dr. DiMarino and me at NFCA's 10th Anniversary Celebration in October 2013. Thank you, Dr. DiMarino, for taking me seriously and for helping me on my quest to understand the many implications and complications of undiagnosed celiac disease so we can spread the message to others.
- Alice Bast
President & CEO of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA)

Every year, automakers roll out about 70 brand-new or redesigned cars. Our reviewers have spent hundreds of hours behind the wheels of those cars to pick the six best (below), and from those six, they chose our Best of 2015 car.
Millions of shoppers visit Cars.com every year, searching for cars, making contacts with and sending leads to dealers, and reviewing their own cars as well. From all of that activity (and a little online voting), we determine which car best represents the voice of our shoppers.
We know not all car buyers choose a car simply by category. We know that many cross-shop, comparing that hybrid with this sedan with that crossover. Our team of reviewers drives dozens of cars every year, and the awards spawn from that seat time.

Celtic Connections Celebrates at Merchant City Festival
Page Content
For 30 years the internationally renowned festival WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) has brought together artists from all over the globe. Throughout the last 30 years WOMAD's primary aim has been to excite, inform and create an awareness of the importance of a multicultural society. The festivals have enabled diverse audiences to gain an insight into cultures other than their own.
Likewise, Glasgow's Celtic Connections continuously demonstrates how important music, arts and dance are in bringing diverse cultures together and endeavours to introduce new forms of world music during the festival and throughout the rest of the year.
To celebrate WOMAD, and its achievements, Celtic Connections has partnered with the Merchant City Festival to bring a taste of this great event to the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow on Thursday 26 July. The spirit of WOMAD will be celebrated by a magical night of entertainment from three of the best, most eclectic acts in world music today. Performing at this unique concert are Portugal's Deolinda and South Africa's Hot Water, who have both come directly from the WOMAD Charlton park festival and the Congolese star Baloji who will be headlining. This evening promises to be the musical highlight of the newly expanded 5 day Merchant City Festival
Having performed in many WOMAD festivals around the world, the fantastic Baloji will be performing one of his famously up-beat performances. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Baloji moved to Liège in Belgium at the age of 4 with his father. Baloji returned to music in 2008, after previously having turned his back on it, to record his debut album Hotel Impala. Prior to this return to the music industry Baloji received a letter from his mother, who he had not spoken to since 1981, which kick started his homecoming to music. Hotel Impala was as much a response to the letter from his mother as it was a quest for his true identity. A certified Gold record, the album won two Octaves de la music (a Belgian equivelant to the Grammys) as well as the Rapsat-Lelièvre prize and the Brassens prize for lyric writing. Baloji's music demonstrates a number of influences such as soul, afrobeat, rapping, reggae, hip-hop and retro-funk. He'll also be performing tracks from his second album which he has described as Congolese with European influences.
Fast-winning fame for their wildly flamboyant, often comical live performances, Deolinda draw on diverse styles including fado, traditional folk, Brazilian and Cape Verdean music. Their debut album Canção ao Lado recently achieved platinum sales in their native Portugal. Breaking from traditional fado style, which usually involves a sense of doom and fatality, Deolinda incorporates sweet and catchy guitar melodies into their performances as well as including the occasional melancholic one. All of their songs portray stories about Deolinda, a young Lisbon woman who lives with her goldfish in an apartment and watches through her window as the world goes by. The character of Deolinda is brought to life by the dynamic, beautiful singer Ana Bacalhau (meaning Salted Cod). She sings about love affairs between strong women and tough guys "who don't love them but don't defeat them, but it's his loss."
South Africa's Hot Water has been described as being one of the most-loved bands in South Africa. Their concoction of homespun melodies makes for a welcome mix of African warmth and Eastern wisdom. When it comes to Hot Water's stylistic repertoire few bands represent South Africa's Rainbow Nation quite as well. They infuse traditional styles such as kwela, mbaqanga, sakkie-sakkie, ghoema and maskandi with a mixture of folk and pop. Within their collection of musical styles there is still a very unique South African sound and flavour which allows their sound to stand out on its own. Their exciting and energetic performance is sure to delight not only world music enthusiasts but also fans of folk and pop.
Donald Shaw, Artistic Director of Celtic Connections, said: "Music is a universal language. People engage with and interact through music no matter what age they are, what country they come from or what language they speak. I've had the privilege of performing at various WOMAD festivals over the years and it has been an inspiration to experience their achievement in bringing the best of world music to new audiences. This is a shared aim of Celtic Connections so we decided to put on this night of great music to celebrate their birthday in style! We are delighted to be showcasing these fantastic talents at the 2012 Merchant City Festival."
