Much of the value of DevOps comes from a (renewed) focus on measurement, sharing, and continuous feedback loops. In increasingly complex DevOps workflows and environments, and especially in larger, regulated, or more crystallized organizations, these core concepts become even more critical.

Conning -- Insurance-Linked Securities Market Attracting Increased Reinsurer And Investor Participation
HARTFORD, Conn., March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market accounts for about 15 percent of total estimated property-catastrophe reinsurance capacity, and has attracted increased reinsurer and investor participation, according to a new study by Conning. "The insurance-linked securities market has become increasingly attractive to both investors and reinsurers," said Steve Webersen, Managing Director at Conning. "Investors are attracted to these non-correlated diversifying investments and the historical returns the asset class has delivered. Reinsurers, meanwhile, have recognized that this market is here to stay, and are extending their business models to establish relationships with ILS funds and develop their own internal capabilities. The market has expanded well beyond its cat bond beginnings, and further growth opportunities will include collateralized reinsurance and sidecar markets."The Conning study, " Insurance-Linked Securities: As Alternative Risk Transfer Goes Mainstream, the Reinsurer Business Model is Changing" reviews the insurance-linked securities market, its development, and perspective from both investor and insurer standpoints. The study drills into the issuers, investment performance, and the outlook for the various ILS products. "We can see the impact that insurance-linked securities are having on the overall reinsurer business model," said Stephan Christiansen, director of research at Conning. "Our assessment is that reinsurers are evolving to offer additional solutions to their clients while not losing business to the ILS market. We anticipate that as additional capital flows into the market, reinsurers and capital providers will experience pricing pressure. We also anticipate that insurance-linked securities will capture a growing share of reinsurance capacity." " Insurance-Linked Securities: As Alternative Risk Transfer Goes Mainstream, the Reinsurer Business Model is Changing" is available for purchase from Conning by calling (888) 707-1177 or by visiting the company's web site at www.conningresearch.com.

Patient-tissue collection for the development of iPSC-based models of kidney disease
Reprogramming of patient derived somatic cells into iPSCs opens the possibility for personalized medicine and drug testing. Genetic diseases responsible for the manifestation of disease can be "modeled" by re-differentiation of iPSCs into the cell lineages of interest, primarily those affected by each particular disease. As such, patient-derived iPSCs hold promise not only for regenerative medicine but also for the elucidation of complex molecular mechanisms ultimately responsible for pathological manifestation. Disease modeling subsequently presents the possibility for in vitro drug discovery, testing and development of personalized therapies.
Many efforts aim to identify the earliest signs of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) so that treatments can be instituted before irreversible renal injury occurs. Considering that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) now accounts for more cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than any other cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and that no treatment apart from renal replacement is available, modeling disease with patient-derived iPSCs represent the most innovative approach for the development of novel therapeutics targeting the kidney. We will obtain up to DKD1000 + 100 control human samples suitable for reprogramming into iPSCs. The generated iPSCs will represent an invaluable platform for the study, and treatment of renal pathologies as well as shed new light on our understanding of these complex diseases and the causative role that Diabetes plays.
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) was established in 2004 with the passage of Proposition 71, which provided $3 billion in funding for stem cell research at California universities and research institutions to advance stem cell research and develop therapies to relieve human suffering. Eight years later, the creation of a culture for the Medicine of the 21st century, as reflected by the many similar initiatives initiated world-wide, is already a clear indication of success.
Our position is that curing diseases and perfecting technologies that allow for the development of novel therapies will boost CIRM's success. The present RFA on Tissue Collection for disease modeling is an example of the far-reaching objectives of CIRM's initiative, a way of embracing life science disciplines into a multidisciplinary program with the ultimate goal of developing novel therapies.
We see three direct, major positive effects for Californians: (1) Patients in California will be privileged once actual therapies are developed and ready to move to the bedside. (2) California will witness the growth of its technological/industrial infrastructure to develop new forms of treatment. (3) California will establish itself as a world-wide reference for the banking and generation of stem cell models of disease. The combination of the above-mentioned factors is powerful and dividends will be generated in the form of revenues from health care delivery and intellectual property.

It's concerning that members of the City Council found it important to participate in the State and County redistricting processes and join the public to present their recommendations and concerns.

"No words can explain enlightenment," says the seventh-century Zen classic "Xin Ming, " or "Song of Mind," yet, paradoxically, this poem is a masterpiece of expressing the inexpressible. In his commentary on it, Chan Master Sheng Yen takes a practical approach, opening up the language of the "Xin Ming " to show students how to approach meditation, how to deal with problems that arise in their spiritual practice, and how to accomplish the imperative task of integrating this practice into every aspect of one's life. "True understanding comes only with direct experience," according to Master Sheng Yen. "These lectures, the Buddhist sutras, songs, poems, and commentaries are useful only insofar as they encourage you to practice and incorporate the Dharma teachings] into your daily life."
The book takes the form of a week-long retreat with Master Sheng Yen, with each chapter in the form of an evening talk given on a particular section of the "Song of Mind" text giving this book a far more intimate and accessible feel than most commentaries on Zen texts and creating a feeling of being right there with the master as he brings the text to life.

I am having my first baby and planning now what is going to happen visitation wise. I wanted to have sole physical custody with him having his visitation and then for joint legal custody as far both of us making decisions in her life. He has cared and loved her and been to the appts so he is not going to be a deadbeat dad. I just want to be fair and give him good visitation rights. I am also breastfeeding and plan to go back to work or school after 2 months of having her. I live in Florida. Can anyone help me here?
What is a good normal visitation schedule?
My princess Mia Nicole born on 06/21/10!!
You are not going to get sole custody. Sole means that he has NO rights to the child (at least in my state). You will have primary physical, or in my state, shared physical custody with primary care going to the mother. If he is very involved, loving, and responsible, I see no reason why he cannot have the child as often as possible. It's possible to pump and handle the BF issue that way.
Some will say that it's been "proven" that babies under 2 or 3 should not spend overnights with Dad. There is plenty of conflicting research on this topic, but the general consensus seems to be that if Mom and Dad can get along and effectively coparent their child, having the child spend equal time with both parents is successful.
Many people here won't agree with me but I simply don't believe that Mom is more capable or deserving of having the child based only on gender. If there are other issues, of course they should be considered. But if both are loving and caring and stepping up, I see no reason why Dad's visitation should be limited to a few hours a week.

I have had the question myself. My son's father loves him and wants to be a active person in his life. I never had a problem with that, but his lifestyle prevents him from taking LO to his house and I was getting stuck with seeing him more often then I would like to. Me and his father hate each other and it makes it very hard. We finally cam up with a schedule and he sees him mon and wens for four hrs each day and then everyother sunday he gets him for 7 hrs. The next week he does mon and wens 4 hrs and then fri for 4 hrs and he doesn't see him during sat or sun during that week. We are currently testing this and seeing how it goes, so far it is ok. He usually takes him to dinner or to a park or store. He is not allowed to take my son to his house and he agrees to that. I think if the father is a good dad then he should be allowed to be a part of his childs life. I have heard that a child having his 2 parents to care for him and love him gives the child a much better chance at life. I'm really trying at this point. I wouldn't mind overnights because I think the father needs that responsibility but right now the father says he isn't comfortable. I think the current schedule is very fair and so does his father, maybe you could do something similar. I'm not sure if you are planning on going to court or not. So far we haven't but I fear it will happen sometime in the future.

Oh and I was talking about I was seeing the dad too much. I never get tired of my son.
Isaiah� 10-7-09
I am one of those who believes an infnat needs stability in the first few years & does not believ in over night visits until 2 or 3. I know there are conf;licting studies, however, I feel that if there even a tiny chance it could hurt my child, I'm not doing it. That's just how I feel. Infants need stability, routine, and I think it's improtant forthem to wake up & go to sleep in the same place every morning & night. I would do some research & see how you feel about it. Then again, if he isn;t asking then I wouldn't even bring that up. I also followed the old school thinking & I didn;t take my son out of the house except to go to the Dr's for the first 8 weeks. W/o his immunizations he could get very sick. Again, others will argue against that but it's what my Ped said & what I did
Most judges wouldn't let him take a newborn over night & many still don't enforce over nights until 2 or 3. Fl used to be a "mother's state" but the laws are changing. There are still many judges here, though, who follow the old school thinking.
I also live in Fl & if there are no mitigation circumstances, you will have what they now call "time sharing" Basically this entitles the dad to every other weekend. You will make decisions jointly or you will have some areas of responsibility and the father will have others - religion, school, medical.
Whatever you decide, get it all in an order that goe sthrough the court because if he takes your daughter & decides he doesn't want to return her, you will lthen have to fight to get her back. Court orders protect everyone

Which is unfortunate--custody based only on gender. How sad.

It was easy for me and X because I work days and he works nights. He gets her when I go to work, I pick her up from his moms when I get off at 5 or 6. He also takes her overnight on Fridays and keeps her until 3 or so on Saturday. It works for us right now.
Life is hard, I am taking it one photograph at a time...
DD Lu 04/25/2008�
That and how is it better for a child to give this "stability" of every night in one place, and then at 3 say ok, throw the chaos in and hope all goes well. Personally I would've rather my child just had that as normal in his life. His father wasn't around, but isn't it better to just live your life the way its normal. Studies also say being a single parent is detrimental to a child, we know that isn't true. I remember how hard it was at 3 to get my child to stop crying when I left daycare. We'd been doing it since he was 6 weeks old and he still started freaking out. If it hadn't been part of his life and then suddenly it was, wow that would've been awful.
I too agree, shared time if he's a good dad. And women are not more capable of raising kids. I know I didn't know what I was doing, never been around small children before I had one. I learned on the job, so did his dad later in his life. What one person thinks is awful another thinks is great (exs cosleeping, breastfeeding, solid foods at certain age, etc.) it doesn't mean one person is right.
OP, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, with SD and with going back to work after 2-3 months. I got some legal advice and the best way to go about visitation is to have a compromise between you two. I know at the beginning under a month, it's going to be up in the air as far as when DD will be awake and not passed out sleeping, so it's silly to write down specific days and times for SD to visit.
Sounds like you're one of the lucky few who has a decent enough guy that you both can work this out. There's no set guideline as far as how much visitation should be allowed. If he wants to see his LO as much as possible, and you guys get along, I don't see it as a bad thing. At this point it's really about how much of SD you can stand to see lol. That's my only concern, is having to see mine all the time. I can't stand him...and I live with my parents so he'll be visiting us to see her. GL!

(. )( .) Bronzed, goin for silver!
I will definitely be keeping my child most of the time but I am very open to a custody-sharing agreement with no overnights until age one. Is there a way to get a formal agreement without a lawyer?
BTW - as a sociologist/demographer, there are also many, many, many studies showing that fathers just don't do the same amount of work in childcare or homecare as mothers although there are always a few outliers. My BD is supportive but only when I tell him directly what to do, when to do, how to do and he is older than I, same education, etc but still not nearly as responsible and definitely not as proactive. I've had to do all the work during my preg. and I will be doing most of the work after the LO is born. I'm sure it is not possible to pump for daycare and pump for overnights at Dad's house, plus I don't trust his dog.

Former college leader found dead after allegations of embezzlementFebruary 21,2013The former acting president of Southern Vermont College has killed himself after being accused of embezzling $400,000 from the school, police said Thursday.
Vermont State Police said James Beckwith was found dead in his home Wednesday by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Beckwith, the former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the small liberal arts school, was accused of taking the money between October 2012 and January, depositing it into his personal account, and using $260,000 to pay down two mortgages on his South Londonderry home.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Thursday it filed a complaint alleging the home and account are forfeitable as proceeds of mail fraud and as property involved in money laundering.
When questioned about the matter, Beckwith resigned from the college Feb. 3.MORE IN This Just In

UPDATE: Booth was caught in Spokane last night.
No one is sure yet why John Allen Booth was in an Onalaska house early Saturday morning. The 31-year-old Booth is a felon of the highest order -- he's been in trouble with the law since he was a teenager and only got out of jail last December after serving five years for burglary. But initial reports indicate he'd come to settle a drug debt, a beef that would come to have tragic consequences.That debt was with David West, 52. West was a carpenter who sold vehicles on the side. But he also may have been involved in some extracurriculars.
Neighbors told The Seattle Times that random car traffic to and from West's five-acre parcel got to be so bad that they got the cops involved. West was also out on bail after having pleaded guilty to assault and robbery charges last September.
Murdered on Saturday, D.J. West was a good student and member of the high school band.
Police believe that Booth murdered West, his 16-year-old son D.J. and another man, 50-year-old Tony Williams. D.J. was a polite kid and a straight-A student. Williams' family says he was only at West's house to help his friend move something. A fourth, as-yet-unidentified person was also shot, but they're still alive and recovering in a local hospital.
The Sheriff's office thinks Booth didn't act alone. But they're not sure who else was with him. And they're not sure where Booth is either.
Last they knew, he'd stopped to get gas in Spokane and called a friend on his cell phone. Police think he's heading further east and may be driving a turquoise 1995 Saturn Coupe with Washington license number 319-UEB. Anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 911.
UPDATE: As the Times reports, Booth had been staying with a friend of a friend, a man who said he had no idea his houseguest was wanted for triple murder.
Mike Yaeger, a 58-year-old retired bartender, told police he was introduced to Booth by a neighbor, who called the fugitive "Pete." Yaeger was told that Pete had just been kicked out of his house by his wife, so he offered him a bed.
The two apparently spent nights watching Jeopardy and the History Channel. Yaeger told cops the only time he grew suspicious was when Pete asked to change the channel when the news came on.
The Times also says that Booth is pretty canny when it comes to getting reduced sentences.
Despite having a violent criminal history that included threatening one homeowner with a gun and hitting two others in the head with crowbars and claw hammers, Booth knew the system well enough to win numerous appeals because of small errors made by prosecutors. Just a hunch: That will be a much harder trick to pull now that he's suspected of executing three people.

By Kaleb Perkins on 2012-10-02 18:17:40
Kaleb Perkins, and I'm here for another edition of "What was cut from Hulu's version of Raw."
The following matches and segments were cut:
The first half of Primo & Epico vs. Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio, which doesn't make any sense to me. Either show the enitre match, or don't.
The Antonio Cesaro vs. Brodus Clay match, but not the segment with Kaitlyn, AJ, and her coach, Not Craig T. Nelson
The Big Show/Sheamus Debate, which quite honestly, I'm glad they cut
Tensai vs. Ryback, probably due to Ryback not being able pick-up Tensai for his finisher
The backstage segment with Rhodes and Sandow mocking Sheamus
Eve Torres vs. Beth Phoenix
The backstage segment with AJ and her coach, Not Craig T. Nelson, talking to Wade Barrett
Cole and JR talking about JBL's climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro
Santino Marella vs. Heath Slater w/X-Factor 2.0 aka Jinder Mahal & Drew McIntyre
Alberto Del Rio's entrance for his match with Kofi Kingston
As you can see, there's quite a bit that was cut. I don't whose decision it it to cut what segments, or why there needs to be segments cut from Hulu to begin with. Anyway I hope this was helpful to anyone who wanted to watch this week's Raw on Hulu.

Skip to comments.After Zimmerman: Lessons for a Citizen Carrier
Posted on 08/01/2013 12:18:23 AM PDT by neverdem
Shortly after the Sandy Hook one Elementary School massacre in December 2012, I took to these pages to gently chide the NRA's Wayne LaPierre for his proposal to install an armed policeman in every school. Instead I suggested it would be more effective to permit armed teachers and school personnel, carefully screened and trained, to fulfill this role. The article outlined three principles to optimize the deterrent value of a societal gun presence: pervasiveness, anonymity, and publicity.
The article also pointed out (hat-tip John Lott) that all citizens, not just those who are armed, benefit from the crime deterrence created by law-abiding gun owners. This got me thinking about my own status. There I was, benefiting from all my gun-owning neighbors who helped create the safe neighborhood where I'm fortunate to reside.
At that point I made a personal decision to cease being a parasite and become instead a producer. Thus began a very steep learning curve to train and equip myself over several months to become a responsible and competent hoplite for the benefit of myself and my family, yes, but also my friends and neighbors.
In March 2013 I participated in a CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) class. In May I received my CCW permit. On that day this semi-retired septuagenarian (I, myself) became a citizen carrier.
My appetite for sound, reliable news and information about 2nd Amendment issues and the technology and skills of gunnery continues unabated. I've also made new friends and acquaintances who share my new passion. All this confirms for me what I knew at the outset: the propaganda of the gun-hating left about these issues and people is an unconscionable, ignorant pack of lies, every word of it.
In my CCW class there were no Rambos, just ordinary middle-class folks, mostly men but a...

It's much cleaner and cheaper if you have a "throwdown" Combat folder knife.
Fingerprints? Just asking...
Good advice. I'm just glad the author of the article in the original post finally woke up to reality. I mean he's 70, for Pete's sake! What took him so long?!?!? Oh, my, he met some gun owners... and they were normal people! Sometimes these columnists are like the newly religious. They finally catch on and then preach all day from back of their high horse. Honestly, I'm glad to have you in the fold, old-timer, but where have you been all my life?!?
He thinks he's arrived, but his education has just begun.
You'd have to wipe down a pistol too....no difference really. Then you'd have to clamp the perps hand around the pistol or the blade.
That'd be pretty obvious if any witnesses were in the immediate area, and especially with cellphone cams recording the incident (Rodney King).
It'd be a felony 'tampering with evidence' the LEOs would charge you with, wouldn't it? I've thought long and hard about it, but can't reach a valid conclusion.
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
Of course you'd have to quickly judge about witnesses and such. But if there aren't any around and you don't see CCTVs, I'd do it. No one can tell me that police don't do it.
I know some do; I've seen the ankle .32/.38 snub-nosed holster, and asked a couple of LEO customers what they were for; got the "back-up piece" and a smile/wink from each. Knife throwaway makes more sense; you're right.
The honest, law-abiding non-violent carrier is an asset to all.
The left wants to take guns away from honest, law-abiding non-violent citizens and deliberately leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
After Zimmerman: Lessons for a Citizen Carrier
The 3 Ss?
Thanks for the ping!
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
If the time ever comes, you take a look at the entire situation, and make the decision then if the circumstances warrant, and if the opportunity to execute is present. If not, you keep the knife in your pocket. Judgement matters
Moral issues aside, IMHO it's best not to tamper with evidence. As you noted earlier, you never know where a witness could be. A quick look around won't do the job. You could very easily miss someone looking out of a window from across the street.
Plus you'll be dealing with trained and experienced detectives at some point. Those folks have seen all the tricks. They are not stupid!
Get caught tampering with evidence, and it would be very easy for a jury to disbelieve anything else you might have to say.
That said, I've been robbed/shot once in 1974, and survived, and it won't happen again.
Turning to the article, the author has it right when he says GZ should have immediately returned to his truck, locked it, and placed his weapon on the seat, ready to be used. In any situation like that one's vehicle is his rolling fortress. By leaving the vehicle and not getting back into it immediately GZ exposed himself to Martin's almost successful attempt to murder him. He's alive today only due to pure luck and the fact that he had the pistol.
I've had a permit and carried since 1995 have never had to display, point, or (God forbid) discharge a weapon in anger against anyone. By its mere possession and carrying I do, however, use it in anger every day because of the deterrence power of my carrying and that of thousands of others. In short, that weapon is there for me to be able to deal with Fate if it comes after me, not for me to be able to chase it.
Excellent points. I've CCW'd since 1974, after being robbed/shot, and am also thankful I've never had to use it.
I'd rather have it and not need it, than not have it and need it.
Re: "Lessons for a Citizen Carrier"
Just one lesson.....
If you shoot someone while defending yourself, your cooperation with the Police must COMPLETELY STOP after you have provided them with all legally required information.
Then, as calmly as possible, tell the Police you will be making no more statements until you have legal representation.
Then, calm, polite, and total SILENCE.
Most states require the same information.....
Name, birth date, Social Security number, home address, home phone, and, often, employer address and work phone, or school address for students.
Remember - defending yourself against a criminal is only 50% of the problem.
If you shoot the criminal, you must now defend yourself against a criminal justice system, and possibly a jury, that may be deeply prejudiced against White people and private gun ownership.
Sometimes the Police are your friends.
And sometimes, they are NOT.
Years ago, Jeff Cooper delineated the "Color Code" and the "Principles of Personal Defense" in an effort to provide us with a logical model for one's thinking on the subject of mental preparedness. I'd like now to go to the next step and apply the same logic to the issue of personal appearance and demeanor, as we all agree that, in the domestic defensive environment, avoiding a fight is preferable to winning one.
Layer One: Nonattendance. The best way to handle any potentially injurious encounter is:
Don't be there. Arrange to be somewhere else. Don't go to stupid places. Don't associate with stupid people. Don't do stupid things. This is the advice I give to all students of defensive firearms. Winning a gunfight, or any other potentially injurious encounter, is financially and emotionally burdensome. The aftermath will become your full-time job for weeks or months afterward, and you will quickly grow weary of writing checks to lawyer(s). It is, of course, better than being dead or suffering a permanently disfiguring or disabling injury, but the "penalty" for successfully fighting for your life is still formidable.
Crowds of any kind, particularly those with an agenda, such as political rallies, demonstrations, picket lines, etc are good examples of "stupid places." Any crowd with a high collective energy level harbors potential catastrophe. To a lesser degree, bank buildings, hospital emergency rooms, airports, government buildings, and bars (particularly crowded ones) fall into the same category. All should be avoided. When they can't be avoided, we should make it a practice to spend only the minimum time necessary there and then quickly get out.
"A superior gunman is best defined as one who uses his superior judgment in order to keep himself out of situations that would require the use of his superior skills."
Layer Two: Functional invisibility. We all need to practice to art of "being invisible." It is in our best interest to go our way unnoticed, both by potential predators and by the criminal justice system alike.
Whenever I travel, particularly to foreign countries, I endeavor to be the one that no one notices; no one recalls; no one remembers. I silently slip through the radar, leaving no trace, a nameless, faceless tourist. When in any public place, I try to be clean and well groomed, but I never wear bright colors, any kind of jewelry, or anything shiny. I smile a lot, but talk softly and as little as possible. As we say in the law enforcement business, "Courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one."
Loud talking, bright colors, Rolex watches, etc will consistently accumulate unwanted attention. On the other end of the spectrum, tattoos, poor grooming, loud and offensive language, a slovenly appearance, etc will also garner unwelcome notice.
Layer Three: Deselection. Any successful predator has the ability to quickly screen potential victims, focusing in on the ones who look as if they will make good victims and rejecting those who either (1) look too strong for expedient victimization or (2) don't conveniently fall into any particular category.
When invisibility fails, we need endeavor to be consistently deselected for victimization. We do this by making it a habit to appear alert, uninviting, self-confident, and strong. At the same time, we never loiter or appear indecisive. We are always in motion.
"Weakness perceived is weakness exploited!"
Layer Four: Disengagement: Our best interests are not served by any kind of engagement with potential predators. Successful disengagement involves posturing, bearing, verbalizations, and movement. It is in our best interest to disengage at the lowest reasonable force level, but we must simultaneously be prepared to instantly respond to unlawful force with superior force.
Potential predators, as they attempt verbal engagement, should be politely dismissed. Bearing and eye contact should always project strength and confidence. We should continuously be moving off the "line of force." We should be observant in every direction, giving potential predator duos and trios the distinct impression that they will not be able to sneak up on us.
When predators are confused, they are unable to focus sufficiently to carry off their victimization. Therefore, never let a potential predator seize the agenda. Don't answer his questions, and don't stay in any one place very long.
Disengagement, separation, and exit are our immediate goals when we have been selected or are being seriously evaluated by predators. However, if there is to be a fight, the best one is a short one. If a predator menaces me with a gun or a knife, I know that, before it is all over, there is a good chance that I will be shot or cut. However, within that prison of circumstance, I also know that the faster I can end the fight, the less hurt I'm going to get! If there must be a fight, I must explode into action, moving smoothly and quickly, in an effort to confuse and overwhelm my opponent before he has a chance to process all the information I'm throwing at him.
Ultimately, we must "have a plan." Potentially dangerous encounters must be thought about in advance. Decisions must be made. Skills must be practiced. Confusion, hesitation, and vacillation will always attract the attention of predators and simultaneously stimulate predator behavior.

Do it in the wrong part of town --Trayvon's Miami neighborhood or Rodney King's -- and it'd be game over. You'd get an O.J. jury and they'd give you the same treatment that the black jury gave those Detroit cops in the Malice Green case.
The prosecutors failed to make their case against the (white) cops and the sole white juror voiced doubts .... and as he told ABC News later on Nightline, eleven pairs of black eyes swiveled around and radar-locked on him. Then the delivered their message: Change your vote to convict these cops, or else.
Media: No comment. What issue? What trial? Nightline was the only MSM venue even to display a pulse on that one.

This is my first year following racing and was a bit confused why the yellow jersey for overall is more prestigious than the green jersey. If one is for points and one is for overall lowest time, why is the yellow so much more difficult? Also what gains you points for the green jersey thanks.
Oh and while I'm at it, is the white jersey decided by overall lowest time by a young person.

Dream Creature 1 by OddstuffsWatch
©2014-2016 Oddstuffs
So, sometimes I have really wacky crazy dreams. I love them. However, I do admit they're weird. For example, this creature was pulled from our mortal realm to some kind of spirit realm where it got turned from a dog into this. It's about the size of a horse, and super dangerous. The spines are asymmetrical, only being on one side of the creature.
Luckily for me, it decided I was on its side and I didn't have to run from it.
art & creature (c) to me!
Luckily for me, it decided I was on its side and I didn't have to run from it.
art & creature (c) to me!
....is it weird that its adorable yet terrorifying?
I like him *pets the other worldly poochy*
He was so cool! We were terrified for a bit before we knew if he'd like us or not. You don't want to be on his bad side.
NEEEEAAAAAT I'm glad you got around to coloring him!
Interesting. Very scary/cool looking
If aliens had dogs... So I really like the coloring job! Does it have rubbery skin or does it have fur?

Groove [Metal/Melodic/Thrash/Death] (GP5) C4C!
1 Attachment(s)
This song is something I wrote in about 3 days. The song is completely done and, I'd say, it's one of my better pieces. I can't really describe the genre cause I tend to mix a lot of metal styles, but I'd just call it metal.
Most of my influence was coming from bands like Sylosis, Soilwork, Trivium, tiny bit of Periphery and just other random shit along the way.
I'd love to hear your criticism guys and I'll for sure give out a bit of crit on your work too if you link me to it!
EDIT: updated with solo 2
The intro is a pretty solid melodeath-ish riff. However, I'm not sure what I think of bar 8-9. It feels a little bit out of place, and it kind of disrupts the flow. it might be that last quarter note that jars me.
I liked the verse riff, the high thingy in bar 23 was cool.
In the Filler-section, the vocal part might sound weird. I'm not completely sure (lol). It might sound better in real life, might just be the midi.
Not much to say about the chorus, it is what it is. It's a bit generic.
That was quite the right time to bring in the intro.
Feels like a Necrophagist solo, it's good. Those sweeps looks difficult though, haha.
Goes into chorus.
Clean part. Nice little piano. Not much to say really. It builds up nicely, and than releases. Quite the tease.
Building again.
I really like the epic part. Nice use of chords and everything. Nice melodies. That re-use of the build-up at bar 120 felt a bit unnecessary though, it doesn't need to be there. I guess using it to get out of the epics at bar 132 is fine however.
Now, I think you just could have ended the song at bar 136, but it probably works just as good to end it with a last chorus.
Edit: I also think that you should lower the vocal part an octave and change it to an oboe or something.
If you'd be so kind. :) http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/foru...d.php?t=1552142
The extra build-up is there cause I want to include a solo in the repeat of the "epic chords" part. I've had troubles writing one so far, but hopefully i can fix that ahaha
I could see the vocal part in the filler sounding weird, I really wanted a static vocal line with some wide vibrato to kind of keep an creepy mood to it.
Chorus is generic but it's a chorus, they're supposed to be. As long as it's catchy, my goal has been accomplished :)
I'm glad you like the solo! It's definitely not my most tasteful but I think it works decently. As for the sweeps, it's just basic shapes ahaha so nothing too hard.
I thought it could end at 136 as well, but I didn't feel like the chorus was over-used yet and I also like the way it sounds now that it ends on there, but I do agree with you.
Thanks for the crit man, and i'm gonna go post mine on yours right away
It's a cool intro but I agree that bars 8-9 kinda kill the riff.
Main verse is a little boring except the leads that come in, they are pretty cool actually.
Filler is alright, not sure how I feel about the vocal keys though.
Chorus is cool if that's what you are going for. A little generic like said earlier.
Yeah the solo is cool but I didn't like the key it was in. Felt weird for this song to go into that augmented key.
The epic part is cool. It reminds me something that BTBAM would do a little. The solo and melodies in it are good too.
This isn't really my liking as far as music goes but it is a cool song.
First off, I'm not really into thrash, so take my crit with a grain of sailt :)
So here we go!
1-7: Sounds quite all right until
8-9: which I believe you could make better, because right now (in my opinion) it makes the good riff a bit less good, sorry
20-28: Thrash, which I'm not a fan of, but the guitars are actually quite nice, sounded a little egyptian with the fills on the high notes
Filler: Sounds very dramatic, I love the strings here and then the transition works great with the chorus
Re-intro sounds surprisingly well, until the one part
Verse again sounds nice, but the drums sound sort of boring except for the fills
Solo 1: The rhythm guitars are great
Acoustic part is lovely
The epic part sounds great, the solo is really neat, the only problem I really have with the ending is that I would have ended the song at bar 137, the final chorus doesn't make sense to me seeing as the song sounds like it's already over
Hope this was a good enough crit! I'm sorry if I sounded harsh btw!
Intro riff is good.
To me the Main Verse part feels kind of forced into the song along with Solo 1. I know what you wanted to accomplish with it (change of the song's mood, add diversity etc.),
but to my ears it just wasn't right. You could use it to write another song though.
I like the Filler part, slightly atonal vocal harmonies create symphonic black metal-ish vibe. Cut bars 19-28 and listen how Enter Vox flows into Filler (it sounds pretty good to me) and if you like it copy it into the second verse.
Chorus is pretty good. A bit generic, but it's catchy.
The entire build-up part is amazing. Love the piano melody. The only thing I would change here would be 2/4 bar before Epic Chords. I would put rests instead of fade-ins because it sounds better to me (there's a huge epic build-up to the epic part and then at it's peak it suddenly stops and with fade-in effects replaced by rests Epic Chords part sounds more powerful because there's a moment of silence and then BOOM! Epic Chords are playing). Solo 2 really adds to the overall beauty of the song.
At first listen, I didn't like reintroduction of the last chorus and the last chorus, but after a few more listens it grew on me.
Overall, great work, wicked drum arrangements and cool ideas, except that it sounds a bit crammed at the parts I mentioned above.
wow.this was really groovy and crazy. i like the drums and the guitars. i think with real instruments it will sound better. i feel some melodic death influences,can it be?
the vocals sound weird,but i think it is a normaly thing fot this kind of music. the piano and the strings are great, they give an epic atmosphere to the song.
good stuff,man. i give you 8.5/10 .

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Amboseli National Park
African Bush Elephant (loxodonta africana)
Daily DeviationGiven 2009-02-15
Kenya Wildlife 58 by =frtosi Francesco is a amazing travel photographer whose images are like opening up a National Geographic magazine, he has been all over the world, to many places which many of us only dream of going to. Be sure to check out his incredible gallery. What strikes me about this shot is not only is shot in the wild in Africa, but also the pose, and raw sense of emotion as this Elephant checks the photographer out, not knowing if he should seemingly charge or stand his ground...an amazing capture of a moment caught in time ( Featured by kkart )
Stunning capture!!
How is Kenya? Did you like it there? And how are the people?
lovely scene and light...a bit soft and I would brighten the elephant some more
WOW THIS NEEDS TO BE A PAINTING. Amazing photography
This elephant is wonderfully captured and I love the gorgeous background.
Wonderful portrait And the sky is really beautiful too.

Excellent capture!!!
Excellent capture!!!
beautiful picture
To be an elephant...
Well, to be an elephant.
Well, to be an elephant.
What a truly gorgeous shot!
Why is this picture so terribly low on contrast?
Great shot of that bull elephant. He looks so small compare to the landscape around him.
Very nice shot, did you use a tripod or was it handheld?
