Federal investigators will try to figure out what caused a fiery plane crash south of Aurora that killed the pilot.
The plane crashed on Wednesday at about 5 p.m. in a field near Otero Street and Smokey Hill Road in Douglas County, and a witness captured video of the pilot doing a stunt just before spiraling downwards and crashing.
The crash happened dangerously close to a neighborhood, and it started a small brush fire that officials quickly got under control.
Several witnesses said they saw the plane circling the area and coming close to homes for a while before going down.
"I heard this huge thud. It was like a supersonic blast, and then the earth kind of shook just a little, and I got up and looked out the windows but I couldn't see a thing," said Carole Lowe.
Neighbors were first to find the plane, which was on fire after crashing. The wreckage was scattered in all directions and left a visible scar on the ground.
"We have no information at this point (about the pilot) and obviously that will be part of the investigation that will either be (done by) the NTSB or the FAA," Douglas County Sheriff's spokesman Ron Hanavan said.
Lowe said one of her neighbors said she thought the plane was going to hit her house.
So far it's not clear what airport the twin engine plane took off from and whether it had a flight plan.

It wasn't until an hour into the gathering of the Connecticut gubernatorial candidates on "The Future of Culture and Tourism Funding" Wednesday that there was a question raised about how the candidates viewed the arts.
It was the only one.
The event was sponsored by the Connecticut Loding Association and the turnout at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford was terrific. In case you were looking for a concierge or a maid, they were probably among the more than 1,000 folks who turned out to hear the candidates address issue of culture and tourism funding.
But the emphasis was clearly on tourism.
In the last minutes of the forum, which featured candidates Tom Foley, Dan Malloy and Tom Marsh, moderator Diane Smith asked the pre-determined questions about the arts.
I forget what the candidates said because the answers were so generic, with an emphasis of the imprtance of a governor's leadership in helping spur philanthropic dollars to the arts.
But nothing about line items, the state arts endowment and nothing specific about increasing funding of the cultural commission's operational grants. And no new ideas presented either by the candidates or the arts community.

The Works of Lord Byron
Vol. 2 of 6
by George Gordon Byron
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
My Dear Hobhouse,
After an interval of eight years between the composition of the first and last cantos of Childe Harold, the conclusion of the poem is about to be submitted to the public. In parting with so old a friend it is not extraordinary that I should recur to one still older and better, - to one who has beheld the birth and death of the other, and to whom I am far more indebted for the social advantages of an enlightened friendship, than - though not ungrateful - I can, or could be, to Childe Harold, for any public favour reflected through the poem on the poet, - to one, whom I have known long, and accompanied far, whom I have found wakeful over my sickness and kind in my sorrow, glad in my prosperity and firm in my adversity, true in counsel and trusty in peril - to a friend often tried and never found wanting - to yourself.

City schools are raising money and creativity at the same time, with an Italian twist.
"A Night Where Minds Take Flight" pays homage to Leonardo da Vinci with an Italian dinner, live music, and 20 classrooms full of mind-challenging activities...all while raising money for students to compete in Odyssey of the Mind.
Students say they love having the opportunity to be creative in the classroom and after school, too. They say the event is a "cool" thing for the school to host.
Parents say they just enjoy spending time with their children.
One parent even told us he enjoyed seeing his son "develop a passion for things he wouldn't have the opportunity to...experience otherwise."
The event is held to raise funds for students to attend Odyssey of the Mind, a competition that challenges students from state through international levels to think 'outside the box' and use problem-solving skills creatively in topics ranging from engineering to theatre.

Balancing timeouts and giving in to keep the peace, how best to manage a toddler having a tantrum?
Our 2.5 year old is usually very good. But sometimes when she doesn't get her way, she loses her mind. We use time-outs, which have proven quite effective. But other than that, not wanting to raise an entitled child but also knowing it's hard to reason with a 2.5 year old, where do we draw the line?

Hense GAME PLAN! Lol I don't know what you're problem is that you have to go and single out what I said but I'm glad you like to assume things and go on little rants about it :) Stick to your own single answer and don't harp on someone elses. This isn't a site for YOUR advice only. Go make your own personal blog and then you can try and nicely bash other's ideas. It's a question put out there in the general area for ANYONE to answer. Meaning if you have a baby, a kid over 1, toddler, pre-teen, teen...did you not notice the categories? But thanks for your input. I'll still be sticking to my GAME PLAN heheposted 07/29/2013 by mallory12
@Mallory12, while what you suggest is good advice to start out on, you don't have a 2.5 year old and probably don't know how hard they are compared to a 9-10month old (there is a reason they are called "Terrible Twos and Threes"). What Feldy18 needs is reassurance that it will get better and to keep on maintaining discipline and time outs. That she is doing a good job. I'm assuming that Mallory12's kid doesn't even WALK yet. So there is a big difference. I'm tough on my kids, but I'm the first to recognize that each kid is different and needs different techniques and that NO kid is perfectly behaved at 2-3 years of age!!! Plus, they get smarter and figure things out so your "GAME PLAN" has to evolve constantly. There is no one perfect strategy for parenting, just general guidelines, and lot of patience and hard work.posted 07/29/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Ignore the tantrum. My son is under a year and this is my GAME PLAN. And he has little baby tantrums sometimes!!! But this is what I do and it works already. Usually he throws a small tantrum in his high chair. He'll be eating fine then all of the sudden BAM - CRYING! And it's more like whiny cries. So I talk to him softly, try to calm him down. If it doesn't work I push his high chair away from me a little bit, let him whine it out and not even a few minutes later he calms down and starts eating again. IF he doesn't calm down after a bit I try talking to him again. Doesn't work, push the chair away again leave him alone. I plan on keeping this as he gets older. I don't need to give in to tantrums and he doesn't need to be used to giving them. Out in public and they won't stop? Go home.posted 07/16/2013 by mallory12
My 4 year old is also very good, but when she loses her mind she can go on for at least an hour. We send her to her room to scream it out when no amount of warning, reasoning etc will get her to stop. I think a lot of it might just be part of growing, all kids have one of those mega tantrums once a month or so. I draw the line at the following instances: hitting me, spitting, throwing things, doing in a supermarket etc. Things I consider acceptable for a short period of time: Shrieking, screaming, stamping. I once had her running around the yard naked screaming, so we sent her to her room to scream if out because she wouldn't listen to reason. If she slams the door on the way to her room she gets a swat or a scolding---and then screams it out. I've found that she does it now for shorter and shorter periods of time, and has learned that if she starts embarrassing me in public we go home and she gets a swat or sent to her room, so she might fuss and whine but won't dare do a full on one.posted 07/16/2013 by keilahrose

Funny boy
Ahmed Ahmed has made a career out of making fun of the cultural gaps and tensions between the Western and Arab worlds
October 16, 2008 8:59 by kippreport
Natalie Bontems
Laughter beats ignorance, and Ahmed Ahmed is fighting the good fight. The 38-year-old comedian and actor, who was born in Egypt and raised in the United States, is trying build a bridge between these two worlds, one joke at a time.
Roots may be the most important part of one's identity and culture, and Ahmed, former co-founder of the "Axis of Evil Comedy Tour" and current frontman of "Ahmed Ahmed, Maz Jubrani and Friends," knows it: he was a month old when his father decided to leave Egypt and move to Riverside, California, to find better opportunities for his family.
But his isn't a story of exile and isolation. Ahmed's family made a point to adapt to this drastic change, in spite of the fact that Ahmed's father didn't speak English. Although Ahmed, his brother and four sisters grew up watching "Three's Company" and eating McDonald's, the awkward feeling of duality lingered.
"We received a very American upbringing, though our household remained very Egyptian," he recalls. "It was cross-cultural and in the end, we adapted very well. But part of me felt I didn't belong in the States, that I was an outsider, like a fish out of the water. It was confusing."
His soul-searching led him back to his roots in Egypt at the age of twenty-two. He hadn't returned to his home village of Helwan for 17 years. "I came for holidays and I actually realized I remembered it very well," he says. "This trip helped me get a better understanding of the region." When he was 27, he returned to the Arab world again to perform Hajj, "a beautiful experience that gave me a different perspective of Islam," he says (although he adds that he's now more a spiritual person than he is religious). "The West has a very distorted image of Islam. Human beings are human beings. As far as I'm concerned, I believe in God, I believe in being honest and that's what Islam is about." This experience even inspired him to write a screenplay he titled "The Pilgrimage."
Breaking stereotypes
Ahmed hopes that he has overcome this split personality through his work, where he often discusses, using humor and irony, who he is and what straddling two cultures feels like. "I'm an Arab-American, and American-Arab, an Arab living in America… It depends," he muses. "I don't feel weird anymore." Not that peace of mind came easily.
Ahmed was 19 when he moved to Hollywood in 1989 to start a career in acting and stand-up comedy, against his father's will – a difficult move in any Arab family. "I was looking for his support but he changed his mind several years later, after seeing me in a movie. That's when he realized I had made it," says Ahmed, who performs regularly at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. He has also appeared in several American television shows and films, as well as in the 2008 Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Man."
PBS even featured Ahmed in the television documentary "Stand Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age," and more recently he's been the subject of a new Hollywood documentary. In 2004, he won the first annual Richard Pryor Award for ethnic comedy at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.
Indeed, his career received significant attention after 9/11 when Arab countries became the new Soviet Union in many Americans' eyes. The war on terror brought with it stereotypes and misconceptions, and it gave Ahmed and his various partners a chance after chance to shatter them through comedy (as other US comedians have done with African- or Jewish-Americans).
Recognition in the Arab world happened later with the "Axis of Evil Comedy Tour" in 2007. Ahmed started touring the region solo by himself in 2005, beginning with corporate and private events in Dubai. After selling-out in Egypt, the UAE, Jordan and Lebanon last year with the Axis troupe, Ahmed achieved similar success this past July in Lebanon (where he says he would love to return every six months if he could), putting on a show with partner Maz Jubrani and three other performers.
Exploring boundaries
While on stage in Beirut, he repeated that he had to be more careful with his words, more politically correct, in countries where many subjects are considered no laughing matter. Lebanon was a release by comparison – a point he usually emphasized with well-chosen expletives.
He claims he was just observing, not complaining. "There was no cutting," he explains. "We changed the lines a little bit. There was no cursing, no politics, no sex, and more social and relationships issues. But we had enough material to make a good show," he says. "Arab people have a good sense of humor and as a comedian, it feels good to bring something contemporary to them."
Ahmed has been able to use his sense of belonging both with the American and Arab worlds to build a successful career as an entertainer. "The Middle-East is growing fast, it's becoming more progressive," he observes. "There are lots of very educated people and the region is changing."
People of all ranks have been taking notice, too. "I'm honored to have met King Abdallah of Jordan," he says. "Man! We had a king of a country sitting in the front row! It doesn't happen every day."
As for his Western audience, in Ahmed's opinion, "people are becoming more curious about the East. I suppose [the] Internet is a good source of interest." In spite of his increasing popularity, however, he still hasn't stopped being harassed by security officials in US airports, something that "is becoming really frustrating," he admits.
There's obviously still a long way to go until both of the cultures Ahmed inhabits understand each other, but he wants to help that happen. One small example was "One Arab, One Jew, One Stage" a one-night stand-up performance Ahmed put on with Rabbi Bob Alper in 2004. Performing in front of a reluctant audience inside a synagogue may not have been his easiest gig, but it paid off. The crowd connected with his jokes, finding unexpected similarities between Arab and Jewish culture.
"People can't hate you when they're laughing with you," he says, which isn't necessarily to say he would perform in Israel if he were invited. "That's a really tough question," he admits, unusually speechless. "I really don't know….

Actually, Ahmed and I have done about 140 shows together over the years. At his first synagogue show he was, understandably, very nervous…but he totally won the crowd, and afterward, women tried to fix him up with their daughters! We've done tons of colleges, in shows usually co-sponsored by the Jewish, Muslim, and Arab student groups. When we performed at a mosque, we observed yet another similarity between Jews and Muslims: multi-million dollar buildings with lousy sound systems.
Laughter heals and builds bridges. Ahmed's a master at it.

text: R!OT provided visual effects and post-production services for a new 30-second spot for Honda that delivers a message about the new Accord in two languages. Conceived by Los Angeles ad agency Muse Cordero Chen, the spot shows a red Accord gliding back and forth across a white background. As it rolls along, the car leaves a black trail. It's only when the camera pulls back at the end of the spot that it becomes apparent that the car's path had a purpose, as the black lines form an elegant calligraphy character. The character drawn by the car means "life" in the Chinese and Korean languages as the spot is aimed at these fast growing communities in the United States. The agency produced versions of the spot with voiceover in each language, but needed a visual that would speak to both markets. "We looked for an image that was common to the two cultures," explained Muse Cordero Chen creative director Wilky Lau. "Calligraphy is important in Chinese and Korean traditions, it was also something that we could relate to the qualities of the car." Muse Cordero Chen hired a professional calligrapher to produce a rendering on paper of the "life" character. They then provided the drawing to R!OT visual effects artist Verdi Sevenhuysen who used Discreet Flame to reproduce and animate the character in video form. "Verdi approached it logically and logistically," Lau said. "There are certain strokes the car needed to make. It's not really drawing the character, but the movements had to make sense." For the background the car drives on, Verdi effectively recreated the look of rice paper, the traditional paper used in calligraphy.

May 2, 2016
Albany, GA - After being rained out of the team's first tournament of the season, Valdosta State finally found a dry field for the team's first games of the season. The Blazers started the season strong, sweeping Albany State, 11-0, 15-1, in five innings each game.
Returning pitchers Holly Satterfield and Margaret Carter earned the wins on the day while Krystle Robinson also logged pitches. Satterfield struck out six Golden Rams with just one walk and two hits in five innings. Carter struck out two and gave up one hit while Robinson struck three out, allowed one hit and gave up an unearned run.
The VSU bats showed they are still in shape with home runs from Sam Posey and Natalia Morozova in the first game of the day.
Big hitter Marti Littlefield had a strong day, going four for seven. Ashley Steinhilber, taking over the catcher's spot from Alyssa Shirey, went a perfect three for three in the first game of the day with two triples.
After blasting a home run in the first game, Posey came back in the second game to go two for four and score two runs. Meanwhile, Clare Wamsley returned to the field after missing much of last season to go two for three with a triple and scored two runs.
Also showing up strong was April Hutchens. Hutchens went two for two with a walk and scored three runs. She stole four bases on the day.
The next time VSU takes the field will be at home March 1 at 3 p.m. against Georgia Southwestern.

Star Wars Lego stirs Muslim outrage
1. Lego
Those Turks who have said that this lego model has similarities with the Hagia Sophia need to take an eye exam because they are simply blind........
Yasin ,
2. This is getting ridiculous
Hagia Sophia isn't a Muslim symbol per se. It's an overwhelmingly Turkish symbol. And the Lego set looks remotely like the Istanbul structure. (The dome looks a bit like it) Seriously, they should tone down this "Oh-crap-this-toy-looks-like-my-mosque-so-I'm-offended!" attitude.
TKhaldi ,
Amman, Jordan
3. Exactly! That's what their own descripton says about them!
tom ,
tel aviv
4. muslims
I mean , come on.. muslim symbol ? as muslim, i am getting really sick and tired of muslims.. you enjoy keep putting yourself in the corner of being the victim? masochist or what? go get a life and contribute to humanity.. ah i forgot, you contribute: by exponentially increasing the population!
marek ,
5. Overwhelming Evidence
Why, yes, 2.1% of the cubist features of the stolen and desecrated Christian cathedral currently used as a mosque in Occupied Constantinople are present on this Lego building. This is further proof that Mohammed invented Lego, and therefore they should sue the manufacturers for all their rights, too. More Turkish pissing on the leg(o) and calling it rain. Like more pressing issues don't come to bear, like the crumbling failed stat(s) on it borders, or its more psychopathic allies going nuclear...
Michael ,
Tel Aviv, Israel
6. These guys are having too much free time
7. Next the moslems will declare jihad against
Pampers. Sometimes, what you find inside looks quite a bit like the turban of Mo.....
8. Ban All Domes!
So, every domed structure, rotunda, and cupola WORLDWIDE now falls under the aegis of Islam? Muslims, please, look INward, and spend more time loving and educating your beautiful children. Shalom Aleichem.
9. feed the muslims to the sarlac
If these fools are talking about taking legal action because they racial hatred and insulting human dignity why not try sue George Lucas because Jabba and his palace were figments of his imagination and he is the one who made the movie. Lego is making a toy based on something from a movie. Maybe Jabba should feed these Muslim idiots to the sarlac.
zionist forever
10. Over-sensitivity or incitement - go figure ?
Barbara ,
Haifa Israel
11. Our new Europeans offended AGAIN?
Time for another street revolution to defend their rights because they have the right to demonize everybody who doesn't believe, think, talks & dresses like them! Europe after all is theirs in the near future.
tiki ,
12. Hagia Sophia a "Muslim Symbol"?
The church you stole from the Byzantines and turned it into a Mosques? And now you haqve the chutzpa to be "offfended" again? Your religion beside hate and death-culture consists mainly of "being offended", showing well your Freudian character of inferiority complex!
Mira ,
13. Don't let them know about the superbowl.....
The superdome in Louisianna looks more like the Hagia Sophia than this lego thing... are they going to go after every domed construction in the world now? If they wanted to create a lawsuit, they are in for a real mess of trouble, they're going to try to sue a combination of Lego, Lucas Film and Disney, not smart.
Jacob E ,
Holon, Israel
14. Cannot believe this story. It has to be BS
If true, everyone should feel very worried about the future with these imbeciles apparently gaining strength. Mass insanity.
15. Most educated people knows...
..the mosk was transformed from a christian church by the islamic followers. That is a commen way of behaviour to try to make islam more eateable for people, by using other religions treofees and words, twist it and say it is islamic wisdom and holyness. At least islam is compared to lego-toys, and what is wrong with that??
Beary White ,
16. Enough! Get over ur yourselves tis a church!
and it still has Byzantine Orthodox architecture, mosaics, and paintings. Your Moslem hypersensitive insults particularly when you stole the Hagia Sophia from us!
Greek Orthodox ,
17. Speaking of Mosques
I'll tell you what offends me most is having a Mosque on the exact spot where Solomon's Temple once stood. REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY!! The "Third Temple" belongs there. p.s. remove all the pals while you're at it.
bad Assed Jew ,
United States
18. Solution
The entire fleets of planes belonging to Emirates,Saudi,Turkish and all Arab airlines should be deployed replete with suitable suicide crews to carry out the destruction of all domed buildings in infidel Dar el Harab.
19. # 14 Mass insanity
Is the most fitting description I have ever seen for religion. The biggest "mass" of all of course is Islam, but the term is appropriate for all religions, including Judaism.
20. This is ridiculous
First of all, is there ANYTHING Muslim groups don't find outrageous? When the pope said Muslims are violent, they were so insulted that they responded with violence... Second, Hagia Sofia isn't even a Muslim building. Today it's a museum, but it was built by Greek Orthodox Christians as a Greek Orthodox Church.
Ferdinand ,
Israel & France
21. Hmmm....
Gotta get me some of them Lego sets.....give them out as gifts to my pals....anything ELSE that "insults" Islamists...? LMAO!!!!
Jenny ,
Brooklyn USA
22. Next, Islam will say that Lego intended Jabba to be Mohammed
Islam cannot create anything good, and Quran forbids innovation. Yet Islam is very innovative. They sue Walmart, McDonalds, and soon Lego. If Lego has any spine at all, they will simply respond by announcing that they cannot help Islam's perception regarding Jabba's palace, because such a twisted and self-serving Islamic perception was not Lego's intention. Islam will have to extort money elsewhere!
Robert Blum ,
New Albany, USA
23. "an important symbol of Islam"
The only overt "symbols" of this religion are violence, death, destruction and negation of all other religions.
24. This is realy amaizing the
25. Star war Logo
This is the start of the problems with the Muslims in Europe. More to come very shortly. Enjoy the problems
26. Perhaps ....
.... Austria's Turkish community should go back to Turkey. Where -- presumably -- they won't be "offended." What a concept, huh? Or they can purchase Duplo instead. I care not, either way.
Sarah B ,
U.S.A. / Israel
27. Islam - the Religion of Perpetual Outrage
This latest nonsense doesn't surprise. A few years ago a blogger assembled a list of "things that offend Muslims". Broken down into categories, it goes on for several pages. Google it.
Raymond in DC ,
Washington, USA
28. 17
In 1967 the late Lubavitcher Rebbe advised Eshkol to let a STRAY BOMB accidently land ontop of the mosque. Wasn't going to provoke a war we were already in the middle and almost won it. Non of the arabs had missiles or anything like that back then and the only threats would have come from the arabs whose armies were on the verge of destruction. He also suggested to Eshkol that whilst the arabs in Jerusalem are scared of what Israel MIGHT do then the solution was to offer to buy them all out cheap then give them 48 hours to get out of town nd most would have gone along with it. If we had only listened to his advice non of the problems we have today would exist because there would be no mosque and the idea of an arab east Jerusalem wouldn't exist because there wouldn't be any arabs living there.
zionist forever
29. Lego - Don't let go
Keep it. Let Islam complain all they want. They don't like go back to Turkey - problem solved
Tova ,
30. It was a Christian church...
...before you invaded it and forcibly converted the population. Your great architectural masterpiece was actually built by your Byzantine superiors. Secondly, the Hagia Sophia is not a mosque anymore. It is a state-run museum. There are no Islamic services that go on there. Thirdly , shut the fu*k for once. You don't see Christians getting offended by the fact telephone and electricity poles look like crosses.

IPv4 calculations
WARNING: Work in progress. Do not edit this article unless you are the original author.
Refresh on TCP/IP model
When the ARPANet (a packet oriented network) was born in those good old seventies, engineers had to solve the problem of making computers being able to exchange packets of information over the network and they invented in 1974 something you are now using to view this page: TCP/IP! TCP/IP is a collection of various network protocols, being organized as a stack. Just like your boss does not do everything in the company and delegates at lower levels which in turn delegates at an even more lower level, no protocol in the TCP/IP suite takes all responsibilities, they are working together in a hierarchical and cooperative manner. A level of the TCP/IP stack knows what its immediate lower subordinate can do for it and whatever it will do will be done the right way and will not worry about the manner the job will be done. Also the only problem for a given level of the stack is to fulfill its own duties and deliver the service requested by the upper layer, it does not have to worry about the ultimate goal of what upper levels do.
<illustration goes here TCP/IP model>
The above illustration sounds horribly familiar : yes, it is sounds like this good old OSI model. Indeed it is a tailored view of the original OSI model, and it works the exact same way.
The postal mail service
If you are not super familiar with OSI or TCP/IP models let's take an analogy with the national postal service because it works in a similar way. Suppose you want to send a parcel to your cousin located in another in a town in the same country (to keep things simple the parcel won't go through customs or firewall if your prefer) via the national postal service. So basically you (the application), take a box and pack what you want to send then you write the address of the destinee on the box, then give the box to the clerk at your post office outlet. The clerk will asks you for the level of service you want (standard or registered mail) then we will put your parcel on a rack where where other parcels sent by some other people lies. All of those parcels will then be transported (routed) from the post office outlet to the nearest mail processing facility where they is transported (routed) to another postal facility and so on using different paths over the country until each one reaches its destinee's postal outlet. From your point of view, your only matter it to see your parcel delivered to the right destinee. You know the postal service will do its job, you don't have to worry about how it will do it.
For a computer this is more or less the same:
- You : Application
- The box contents : The data to be transferred by the application
- Transport reliability level : Transport (Standard => UDP, Registered => TCP)
Classful and classless networks
Who would ever need millions of addresses afterall? So in theory with those 32 bits we can have around 4 billions of computers within that network and arbitrarily retain that the very first connected computer must be given the number "0", the second one "1", the third one "2" and so on until we exhaust the address pool at number 4294967295 giving no more than 4294967296 (2^32) computers on that network because no number can be a duplicate.Those addresses follows the thereafter logic:
|32 bits (fixed length)
|Network part (variable length of N bits )
|Host part (length : 32 - N bits)
- The network address : this part is uniquely assigned amongst all of the organizations in the world (i.e. No one in the world can hold the same network part)
- The host address : unique within a given network part
So in theory we can have something like this (remember the network nature is not to be unique, it hs to be be a collection of networks :
- Network 1 Host 1
- the network part : means more networks possible at the cost of having less hosts per network
- the host part : means less networks but more hosts per network
It might sounds a bit abstract but let's take an example : imagine we dedicate only 8 bits for the network part and the remaining 24 for the hosts part. What happens? First if we only
Is the network part assigned by each organization to itself? Of course not! Assignment are coordinated at the worldwide level by what we call Regional Internet Registries or RIRs which, in turn, can delegate assignments to third-parties located within their geographic jurisdiction. Those latter are called Local Internet Registries or LIRs (the system is detailed in RFC 7020). All of those RIRs are themselves put under the responsibility of now now well-known Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or IANA. As of 2014 five RIR exists :
- ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) : covers North America
- LACNIC (Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre): covers South America and the Caribbean
- RIPE-NCC (Réseaux IP Européens / or RIPE Network Coordination Centre): covers Europe, Russia and middle east
- Afrinic (Africa Network Information Center) : covers the whole Africa
- APNIC (Asian and Pacific Network Information Centre) : covers oceania and far east.

CASCOM command sergeant major to become top NCO at Army Materiel Command
November 5, 2013
By Keith Desbois, Combined Arms Support Command Public Affairs

FORT LEE, Va. - Maj. Gen. Larry D. Wyche, Combined Arms Support Command and Fort Lee commanding general, recognized Command Sgt. Maj. James K. Sims, the command's senior noncommissioned officer, for his accomplishments and dedication to duty during a Nov. 4 ceremony here.
CASCOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and is the Army's sustainment think tank, responsible for training more than 180,000 students a year.
In bidding Sims a fond farewell, Wyche was joined by numerous senior leaders, including Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dailey, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command's senior NCO.
Wyche said, "When I think of him, a couple of things come to mind: discipline, adhering to the rules, fitness and engaged leadership.
"When I hired him, one of the questions I asked was, 'what do you want to accomplish?' He told me he wanted to make a difference for the right reason. Command sergeant major, you made a difference - credentialing, sponsorship programs and attacking sexual assault are just a few of the areas where you left a blazing trail of success."
Sims will be departing CASCOM to assume the senior enlisted position at the U.S. Army Materiel Command, Redstone Arsenal, Ala. AMC is the Army's provider of materiel readiness, which includes technology, acquisition support, materiel development, logistics power projection, and sustainment to the total force, across the spectrum of joint military operations.
"Command Sgt. Maj. Sims is a Soldier, who will give the shirt off his back and the boots off his feet. He will never say no as long as he has one gallon of gas or one bullet to give," Wyche added. "That's what AMC is going to receive; a noncommissioned officer who knows what it takes to be a warfighter logistician."
Although many of the speakers attributed the command's current success to Sims' leadership and forward thinking, he emphasized that it was a team effort.
"The fact of the matter is, it is everyone here who is responsible for the success of this great command," Sims said. "It is your energetic attitudes, foresight, and personal involvement that lead to the success of this organization."
During his time on Fort Lee, Sims held many senior positions to include command sergeant major, 49th Quartermaster Group, and regimental command sergeant major of the Quartermaster School.
Sims awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit Medal, Bronze Star Medal (2nd award), Meritorious Service Medal (5th award), Army Commendation Medal (6th award), Army Achievement Medal (6th award), Army Good Conduct Medal (7th award), National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Korean Defense Service Medal, German Parachutist Badge, French Master Parachutist Badge, Venezuela Parachutist Badge, Polish Master Parachutist Badge, Air-Assault Badge, Pathfinder Badge, Senior Parachutist Badge, Master Parachutist Badge and the Combat Action Badge.

Arizona tailback Nic Grigsby is watching video of past fumbling problems by former NFL standout Tiki Barber to cure his ball-handling woes.
Grigsby, benched after fumbling his first carry against California last week, is learning from the ex-New York Giant how to handle the ball better.
Barber went from being fumble-prone to one of the most sure-handed players in the NFL.
Grigsby's brother, Marcel, a tailback at Temple, sent the video clips by e-mail over the weekend.
"It showed how (Barber) was real bad about ball security in the beginning of his career," Grigsby said. "He went to some trainer . . . and became one of the best."
Grigsby has lost three fumbles this season. Barber lost six fumbles in both the 2002 and 2003 seasons.
Barber, who finished his career with more than 10,000 rushing yards and 2,217 carries, had a problem running with his elbow out.
Barber compensated by bringing his elbow closer to his chest. He had the ball in that position while doing drills and running on the treadmill to break his bad habit. Grigsby has had some of the same issues while carrying the ball.
"When I am in the open field I try to make more things happen," Grigsby said. "I get aggressive and I lose awareness of people behind me and people on the side of me. I am looking at the guy in front of me and the ball gets out."
Grigsby, a slashing runner, sometimes tries too hard to make big plays instead of taking what is available.
Aggressiveness cost him fumbles against New Mexico, UCLA and California.
The Wildcat sophomore, averaging 89 yards per game, is expected to start against No. 6 USC on Saturday. Keola Antolin will be ready to step in if needed. Antolin had 149 yards and three scores against Cal.
"It is really frustrating," Grigsby said. "You don't mean to (fumble). I am trying to make something happen."
Barber never had big fumbling issues again. Grigsby hopes for the same results.

Speaking Silence
Reading Scripture: What's the Point?
Fourth, self-understanding comes more in responding to questions than in learning new facts about some state of affairs in which one finds oneself. Questions are more important than answers, but not more important than responses. Self-understanding comes in responding to the questions that scripture asks me.
Fifth, self-understanding is unavoidably an ongoing project. It has no final point, at least not for mortals.
Sixth, I assume that repentance comes about when a person or a church is genuinely engaged in self-understanding. In that it continually helps us repent, scripture study is an important part of continuing revelation.
Seventh, the questions that bring self-understanding are rarely those with which I begin because I seldom know already what I need to learn about myself. Rather, I begin with questions that come to me from the text.
Most often, these questions arise when I focus on the details of the text rather than on the big questions that I am always tempted to ask at first. Questions like "What principle or doctrine do these verses teach?" are last in my scripture study because (1) those questions too often tempt me to revert to repeating "what everyone knows" about the passage I am studying; because (2) beginning with the principles I find in scripture moves me too quickly to the general when what I need are things directed at me in particular; and because (3) by paying attention to the details of the text (particularly its "story line," even when it isn't narrative), I will often be asked questions that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
Finally, the most important thing one can have when reading scripture is imagination. And perhaps the most important question one can ask to set imagination to work is "How can I read this passage otherwise than I usually would and yet remain true to the text and true to the gospel preached through its on-going revelation?"
Scriptural theology can be interesting and is helpful to some. But in my experience, few things are more important to spiritual life than scripture study, whether or not it is part of an effort to do scriptural theology.
Scripture study isn't merely scripture reading. It certainly isn't scriptural contestation between proponents of different theologies or sects. It is allowing the canon of scripture to call me to repentance and to teach me what it means to live a Christian life.

authentic atmosphere many food items to choose from
long wait did not get rewarded with outstanding food and service food okay. yes it was spicy however that should be the spice of the food and not the meat or potatoes as the saying goes... The food still had suburb Chinese starch glob with syrup style coating on the meat portions which renders the taste of the actual meat and veggies quite indiscernible. I felt like someone dipped me in fritter batter and plum sauce. wait staff were not trying to make you feel welcome ( very genuine style ) so look for traditional Chinese service. Overall spent a lot if money and received food I could have gotten in the suburbs. some of the restaurants with less reputation in china town had equal or better cuisine although not that much better. be that as it may, I have only eaten at a handful of the places in Chinatown. so expect average and you will be fine. I gave the setting a five because it was Chinatown for goodness sakes :-)Comment on this review

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Will Barton scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and Joe Jackson added 13 points and seven assists as Memphis pulled away in the second half to defeat East Carolina 70-47 on Wednesday night.
The Tigers (20-8, 10-3 Conference USA) outscored East Carolina 33-15 after halftime, building their lead to as many as 25 points. The 15 second-half points were a season low in a half for the Pirates (12-14, 3-10), who lost their fourth straight.
Antonio Barton added 11 points for Memphis, hitting 3 of his 4 shots from the field.
Miguel Paul led the Pirates with 20 points, 17 of them in the first half. Shamarr Bowden finished with 13 points.
East Carolina not only shot 28.6 percent for the game (14 of 49), but was hampered by a season-high 26 turnovers, eight of them by Paul.

Roseville high school, Eureka candidates square off during forum
The importance of innovation and forward-thinking emerged as a common theme among candidates for two local school boards during a forum Thursday in Roseville.
The four candidates running for three seats for the Roseville Joint Union High School District and three candidates battling for two seats with the Eureka Union School District participated in a forum moderated by the League of Women Voters of Placer County for the Nov. 6 election.
About 60 people attended the event at Olympus Junior High School to hear candidates' responses on questions related to funding, tax measures, bullying, parent participation, parcel taxes and more.
Candidates for the high school district include incumbent Paige Stauss, who joined the board eight years ago and said she's most proud of how the district has managed its finances and implemented the International Baccalaureate program.
Incumbent Garry Genzlinger has also served on the board since 2004, after retiring from the district where he worked for 36 years. He originally ran because he felt the board had lost the focus and needed to get back to putting students first.
Jan Pinney joined the board 17 years ago. Throughout the evening, the incumbents made several remarks on how the current board works well together.
"We have the best board today we've ever had," Pinney said.
Rene Aguilera, who's served on the Roseville City School District board for the past decade, is challenging the incumbents.
"I represent the new generation of students that are coming up in Roseville," Aguilera said.
For the Eureka board, candidate Renee Nash said she's "running because our school district can be better and without the right leadership, it can also be worse."
Nash served seven years on the Eureka Schools Foundation board and said she's been integral in raising money for the district's enrichment programs.
Incumbent Ryan Jones said he has a vested interest in the district's future because has three children in local schools and a 9-month-old baby.
"I look at your kids the same way as my own kids: What can we do to provide the best education?" Jones said.
Kristie Greiss said she's running for re-election because she believes in the cause - the well-being of children and the community. She said in the past four years, Eureka has made several reforms.
"I've been part of the changes and I'd like the opportunity to continue in this positive direction that puts children first," Greiss said.
Disagreement over propositions
Although all seven candidates agreed that funding presents the biggest challenge in both districts, they didn't agree on how to address this issue.
Aguilera voiced his support for Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure, Proposition 30, and said the high school district will lose nearly $6 million if that fails.
"It's going to be devastating," Aguilera said.
Stauss said she supports Proposition 38, Molly Munger's initiative, "although it's not ideal." Greiss said the funding issue "should be resolved at the state level."
Greiss said Eureka has slashed millions of dollars by streamlining administrative costs, implementing electrical retrofits and other measures, but still need to find additional sources of revenue.
Nash said untapped revenue needs to be raised through private sources. She said she doesn't support either proposition because they likely contain loopholes and will lead to litigation. She prefers a local parcel tax.
Pinney and Genzlinger oppose both tax measures.
"I think giving more money to legislatures is like giving more alcohol to drunks," Pinney said.
Dysfunction on the board
Eureka candidates were asked about a leadership report conducted during the search for a permanent superintendent that found dysfunction on the school board. Superintendent Linda Rooney started in July, after three interims filled the top administrator role since Tim McCarty resigned in February 2011.
Nash said the board took too long to find Rooney, which created a sense of lack of leadership within the district. In another question on increasing parent participation, Nash said the district should purchase a microphone system because it's difficult to hear in the board room. She also said meetings run too long - sometimes going until midnight - which deters parents from attending.
Jones reiterated his support of Rooney and said the role of the board is not to micromanage but to create policies and provide the tools so teachers can do their jobs.
"I would love to have more parents at meetings so they know what's going on," Jones said.
Greiss said the board is responsible for being courteous, professional and open to public input.
Rooney previously told the Press Tribune that she had the board room reconfigured to make it more conducive to public participation.
The three high school incumbents said usually don't have many people at their meetings.
"If you don't have a lot of parents at your board meetings that's a good thing because that means they think you're taking care of business," Pinney said.

As the old proverb says, "A fool and his money are soon parted." It couldn't be more true in today's digital age, especially when money is becoming more virtual than tangible. The acceptance of credit cards is reaching an even deeper level thanks to apps like Square, which allow you to charge simple things like the locally-grown produce at a farmer's market. Meanwhile, services like Google Wallet and PayPal allow for easier exchange and management of currency without you ever having to take a glance at an old-fashioned checkbook.
Which is precisely why I think it's still a good idea to carry some cash. Back in high school, there wasn't anything quite as satisfying as laying down a long-saved stack of bills for a purchase I really wanted. It's hard to explain, but there's just a certain masculinity attached to knowing you've got some green in your pocket—something numerous rap songs can attest to.
Besides, at events like flea markets and places like vintage shops, it becomes a hell of a lot easier to haggle. Not to mention that living in a city, places from the neighborhood bodega to the corner coffee shop often serve as the last bastions of commercial society where plastic is currency non grata.
If budgeting is not your forte (like myself), nothing helps you curb spending quicker than paying for purchases with cash. I find myself asking if that afternoon coffee is really necessary, how often I'll wear that shirt or if I should really be taking a cab when I have an unlimited subway pass. Besides, tipping my barber, barista or server is a lot less complicated when I just fork over the cash.
So while I appreciate the technology and convenience of credit cards, I'm just not ready to let go of my cash just yet. After all, what's the use of having a nice bi-fold wallet if all I'm going to keep in it is a bunch of plastic?

Reviews for Towing Simulator
Surprisingly funrascallion | June 19, 2011 | See all rascallion's reviews »
When I saw this game in Computer Exchange, I thought it looked particularly interesting, so I decided to give it a spin. Although the game doesn't look very exciting, it's hard to play and even harder to master. You play a towing truck; simple enough concept. The gameplay is very fun as you play from a birds eye view driving the truck around and towing people away. For some reason it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction. Very fun nonetheless, and worth the £15.
