Data Center Networking -- building connection fabrics for cloud computing infrastructure
As the IT industry enters the era of Cloud Computing, companies are building large data centers to host online services for our daily life. Data center networking (DCN) deals with how to connect millions of servers efficiently. Our group is among the first to make data-center networking a hot topic in research community.
- Our pioneer work in DCN, on network architecture: DCell (SIGCOMM'08), BCube (SIGCOMM'09)
- Network management: Address Configuration (SIGCOMM'10)
- Virtualization: SecondNet (CoNEXT'10)
- Congestion control: ICTCP (CoNEXT'10 - Best Paper), ECN* (CoNEXT'12)
- Multicast and low-latency routing: Datacast (CoNEXT'12), RDB (CoNEXT'13)
- Monitoring and diagnostics

Software-defined networks (SDN) -- substrates for the new paradigm
We are among the first to define our own vision on SDN -- how to build high-performance network switches that are open, programmable, and manageable. Network devices should not be a separate class from compute/storage servers -- they should all be part of an integrated system. We started with developing a new switch architecture (ServerSwitch) and building software layers as the SDN platform. We are researching better mechanisms and systems that will empower the new SDN paradigm and exploring new networking services on the new platform.

Software radio -- empowering wireless revolution with the magic of software
We foresee that the increasingly powerful multi-core architecture and parallel data processing will fundamentally change wireless communications. Software-based cognitive wireless systems will become much more powerful, flexible, and efficient compared with existing wireless technologies. The enabling technology is software radio (or software-defined radio, SDR). For the past several years, we have strike to build the best software radio in a very different way, and to develop programming models and tools that will greatly reduce the effort involved in implementing state-of-the-art wireless systems.

2001 Hot Rod Virtual Power Tour - Day Four, May 6Written by on May 1, 2001 Exclusive Daily Updates From The Road. Effingham, IL to Springfield, MO: Driving the Chevy Train, a Chat with the Highway Patrol, and Fishing with Uncle Buck
Even though the bulk of the Power Tour cars are owner-built hot rods, this doesn't mean the manufacturers don't like to play as well. This year Chevrolet brought along a slew of modified production vehicles that we were invited to check out on this leg of the trip. Hot Rod magazine's Jeff Koch, along with your online editor and video producer, hopped on board this compelling collection of vehicles, and took turns with each one. While the two Corvettes were clearly the favorite rides of the day (especially the blown Mallett), we found the others each had some distinctive appeal. A bad black Blazer with a Corvette LS-1 under the hood was a real Q-ship, except for the fat rear meats (315/35ZR17), which fill out the wheelwells perfectly. There was also a supercharged Cavalier (with pretty healthy performance for a four-banger), a 260hp S10 Xtreme, and a Monte Carlo Pace Car. (You'll be hearing more about them as the trip goes on, and when Jeff catches his breath from the trip, check out his upcoming features in Hot Rod magazine as well.)
Although we encountered the first serious rainstorm of the Tour, it didn't slow the Chevy convoy down one bit. We did wonder how the T-bucket contingent fared that day, however. Despite the downpour, we continued to encounter spectators along the roadside--it amazes us how many people eagerly anticipate our arrival, even when we just buzz on by. Speaking of buzzing, one of our more prominent Power Tour participants had an encounter with the highway patrol due to a suspiciously absent license plate. No worries, but some state trooper is now the proud owner of a nicely embroidered Hot Rod shirt. (We havent tried this tactic before, but well keep it mind for the future.)
The sun finally broke through by the time we rolled into Springfield, Missouri at the Bass Pro Shops. While the parking lot of this mega-mall may not have been quite as scenic as our previous stops (weve been getting a bit spoiled), it sure was packed with spectators. Thats partly because Bass Pro Shops is the top tourist attraction in the state. With enough acreage under one roof to cover seven football fields, this is a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, stocked with just about anything youd need for fishing and camping. More than that, inside this mammoth facility youll find waterfalls, duck ponds, diver-fed fish in aquariums, restaurants, and even a barber shop. The only thing missing is the great outdoors.
Edelbrock supplied a tasty barbeque that evening, and we all managed to duck inside before the thunderheads rolled through again. But we plan to make our own sort of thunder on our way to Tulsa on the next leg. Oklahoma, here we come!

Kids, don't try this at home. We're trained web professionals. Stay tuned for video downloads of the Chevy convoy.We stopped in formation every so often to swap cars--what a great way to keep the drive interesting. Click on the film icon to see video of Hot Rod's Jeff Koch behind the wheel of the Motor Medic/GM Performance Blazer.We spotted the Gateway arch in St. Louis as we crossed the Mississippi River. One of the Chevy staff added a bit of travelogue at this point, pointing out that until early '80s, Corvettes were built in this city before the plant was moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky.The crowds they just kept a comin', but this time for rods of a different sort (not the fishing pole variety).Throngs of tourists come to the Bass Pro Shops for the unusual decor, which includes waterfalls and duck ponds.
Vic Edelbrock's Chevy was a head turner, but his free barbecue for Power Tour participants was an even bigger attraction."Can I go on the Power Tour too?" Ummm, maybe next year, after a bit of TLC. We tripped over this promo vehicle, based on a 1973 Opel Kadette, at the muffler shop next to the host hotel in Springfield. The sign reads, "Our work is exhausting." No wonder the shop owner admitted, "It needs a little work."

Cleaning and caring for the skin is just as important for men as it is for women. First, it's important to determine your skin type – do you have dry, normal, oily or sensitive skin, or a combination of different types? If your skin is rough, easily irritated, flaky or thin and tight, then you likely have dry skin. If you have greasy, shiny skin and are prone to acne, you're a candidate for oily skin. If your skin is tight and rough in some areas, but shiny around the nose, forehead and chin (also known as the "T-zone"), then you have a classic example of combination skin. Because of the variation in skin concerns and needs, it's important to choose a cleanser that is right for your skin type.
Choose from an array of face and body cleansing products designed to smooth, soften and renew your skin, remove deep-down dirt and oils, attack and wipe out acne, buff away surface skin cells and hydrate the epidermis. With cleansers available in liquids, bars, body washes, exfoliants and deep cleansing gels and foams, be sure to choose a cleansing product that's suited to your specific skin type.

School budgets are tight as thousands of students return to class in Alabama this week.
Some systems have had to cut staff, and teachers are coping with reductions in the amount of money they can spend for classroom supplies.
In Sylacauga, school testing coordinator Patrick Littleton said good stewardship is a priority during trying times like these.
Tax revenues are down, and that has forced state officials to cut school budgets by 11 percent for the current fiscal year.
More reductions are likely when the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Jack Brighton is a British author who specialises in gay erotica with a BDSM slant. His books are widely available on all major e-book and specialist erotica sites, published by his company – Firm Hand Books.
Jack was born and raised in the west of Scotland then moved to the south of England after graduating from university, living first in London before moving to the sanity of Brighton.
Having forsaken the stress of working in London's finance sector to become a full time author, Jack now spends much of his time on the small Mediterranean island of Gozo where he lives with his partner.
Jack also writes under the pen names:
Fergie Boy
Jack's early erotica works were produced for a web site called Gay Boy Books, where he wrote under the name Fergie Boy. Subsequently this material was brought under the Firm Hand Books banner and is now available through the same channels as Jack's later work. The stories are highly erotic but not specifically BDSM in nature – although in certain books like 'Preparing the Way' and 'Spanked at Last' the evolution into Jack Brighton can be seen. Fans of Jack's work might find it interesting to see where he has his literary roots by checking out some of the Fergie Boy books.
Jack no longer writes under the Fergie Boy name. However, he does write under...
Tom Farrell
Having published over twenty books by mid 2011, and created a strong niche in the gay BDSM market, Jack decided to expand his reach once again. Not wishing to dilute the Jack Brighton body of work and perhaps confuse his loyal readers, or re-invoke Fergie Boy, a new pen name was created to write under. This was Tom Farrell.
Under the banner 'Flaming Hot', Tom Farrell's books fall into two categories: 'Flaming Hot Gay Erotica' and 'Flaming Hot Gay BDSM'. The distinction is hopefully very clear. Both collections are softer than Jack Brighton's normal work - the 'Erotica' collection much more so. But it is still Jack Brighton - his ideas and his style. So if you like Jack's books then why not check some of Tom Farrell's work out.

WASHINGTON -- December 30, 2012
President Barack Obama is voicing skepticism about proposals to place armed guards at schools in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 first graders. He says he wants legislation aimed at containing gun violence passed next year.
In his most specific remarks about gun violence since the deadly assault at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Obama says he still supports increased background checks and bans on assault weapons and high capacity bullet magazines.
Obama made his remarks on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Six adults also died at the school. Authorities say the shooter killed himself and his mother at their home.
Obama says the Dec. 14 shooting was the worst day of his presidency. He vowed to put his "full weight" behind a legislative package.

text: Lots of original entries this month, congrats to all the cartographers! I've voted for J edward's entry, to me it is both technically (amazing mountains and rivers) and visually (nice color choice) very good. I would have vote for the metatoad too, because the idea is cool and you feel wilbur is here perfectly mastered, But you could have worked a bit more textures and colors after wilbur, my feeling is that you haven't spent a lot of time on that map (apology if i'm wrong!)

I usually depict any river that is important to the purpose of the map. Rivers that influence travel and navigation should be shown—if it has significant riverboat travel or is too wide and/or deep to be forded near most arbitrary locations. If it has a large impact on settlements in the area, then it should probably be shown. If it defines a political border, then it should probably be shown. A map of the physical geography of the area will probably show more rivers than a political map.
It may also be wise to keep several sheets or layers of rivers with different levels of detail in a master document so you can quickly generate different kinds of maps with the level of detail you need.

Radish is easy to grow in the garden or in pots on the patio or decking. You will be able to harvest your radishes within four to six weeks, so it is a good idea to sow a row every two weeks, as this will provide you with fresh radishes throughout the season. Growing radishes is fun for children, too, and is very educational. See our range below and order your radishes for the coming season.

Roger Federer, who grabbed some much needed confidence and momentum after upsetting Rafael Nadal for the Madrid title yesterday, wife Mirka, and unborn Mango were spotted in the Spanish capital attending a Lenny Kravitz concert during their free time.
Some observations if I may:
1. Fed needs to get new jeans. Stat.
2. Ditto on the sneakers. Double stat.
3. Mirka's mammies already look primed for a Mango feeding. Dayum.
4. Does Fed always have to wear that RF hat? They know who you are. At least he's hoping they do but is prepared if they don't I guess.
5. Crackberry is conspicuously inconspicuous.
4. I'm wondering (more like completely having inappropriate fantasies) if Lenny showed up in THIS outfit for the show. (nsfw)

Every single time they showed her in the crowd she was crackberrying. If she's so bored trade me! The seats, not the husband.ReplyDelete
Those shoes are double fug.
I actually like what he's wearing. I wouldn't mind different shoes though. I think I would like her dress if I could see it completely.ReplyDelete
Was anyone else exceptionally disappointed by the trophies they gave in Madrid?
Rich, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the PRIVATE shows that Lenny gives not public concerts like this one.
@ Sara, you mean disappointed with the plates? I sure am. I was also disappointed with the whole ceremony. Why on earth make the women wait until the men's match is finished to get their award and paycheck?ReplyDelete
Anyway, I agree, Fed needs a new pair of jeans and time for Mirka to cover up the tig-o-bitties.
- AnonymousMay 18, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I too agree, the ceremony was a big disappointement! The trophies, well weren't trophies! but plates, and having both the male and female champions ceremony together was also not great.ReplyDelete
I don't mind Fed's look, it's a lot diff from the suits, nike gear, etc. so it looks like he's just hanging around :) Mirka on the other hand, is really trying to cover up tht baby bump
Roger looks really relaxed. And Mirka is totally busting out. Dayum was the right word, Rich.ReplyDelete
I ain't a big fan of the hat either. Its sort of redundant in the night ain't it? Or maybe the unimaginable happened and Roger was having a bad hair day? Whatever it is the hats got to go
- AnonymousMay 18, 2009 at 10:29 PM
They are so adorable together. I love them.ReplyDelete
I know!! They gave the winners tophies that at the slams are reserved only for second place. Yeah those were definitely cheese platters.ReplyDelete
When they released the confetti, I'm pretty sure that Roger and Dinara thought that they were under attack.
I actually like Fed's outfit - sans the ridiculous hat, that is.ReplyDelete
The sneakers kinda remind me of those tennisball ones Nike's made recently.
Mirka's boobs are SCARY.
And now, back to staring at Lenny naked... o_O
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 5:37 AM
dude, Roger looks totally hotReplyDelete
Yeah those trophies were HORRID. It's like they took a serving set from the cafeteria and decided they would make good trophies. Why even bother giving sipping cups to the runner-ups?ReplyDelete
Rafa + Wozzi looked embarrassed even holding them.
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 6:07 AM
At least Wozzie's bowl had some decorative 'crown-ish' edge whereas Rafa's was just simply a bowl. He was basically hiding it behind his butt the whole time. How sad...ReplyDelete
Ho ho ho Merry early Christmas Roger!It was hard to wrap the present for Mirka though:)))ReplyDelete
Dayum indeed!
- Tennis ObserverMay 19, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Mango and Roger will fight for those giant udders!ReplyDelete
I think he wears the hat so he doesn't forget who he is. Mirka looks adorable, though. But Lenny beats the hell outta both of them...DAYAM!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Mirka has a fine set of tah-tah's. And she is never shy about showing them. I've rarely seen a pic of her without cleavage. I keep imagining Fed, climbing into bed and just burying his face in them.ReplyDelete
~ drifts off to have inappropriate thoughts ~
I thought she was "into" fashion and I honestly can't figure this out. Either someone told Mirka that pregnant breasts are fabulous and should be shown off (IMHO wrong), or if she just hasn't gotten around to getting the proper bra to deal with them.ReplyDelete
It's possible to look like something other than a beached whale during pregnancy, Mirka! Don't give up!
Roger, I have to say, looks totally hot (with a demurrer for the hat).
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 2:31 PM
Is it me or is the woman walking alongside them look conspicuously like Vera Wang?ReplyDelete
- Sergio de AZMay 20, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Roger needs to look lazy sometimes. They went to hear that song that says:ReplyDelete
"...American Woman stay away from me...!"
She's in flats cause her feet are all swollen, for the love of God. And Roger and Dinara SO jumped out of their skin when the confetti came out. Crazy funny on video.ReplyDelete
That baby is going to be so happy when he is born. Look at those mammaries. No wonder Roger is smiling these days. He gets to rest his head on those wonderful pillows of supplements - LOLReplyDelete

dude, dont you know anything about men's fashion?or maybe fag fashion is your expertise hence the diss?maybe its you who needed an update...lol!ReplyDelete
The last time I attended a live concert was a few months ago. I thought it was the best concert that I had ever been to even that concertstickets price was high sky maybe Coz I used not to research enough to see if there were better pricing.

Great budget sub
Ive owned this sub for 2 years and havent feltthe need to upgrade. I live in a townhouse so buying mega-sub is unrealistic. This sub provides just the right amount of low-end support to my Wharfedales. For the first week it did sound boomy and flabby, but it quickly broke-in and has sounded fast and tight ever since. I'm guessing the suspension bits (spider and surround) need a hot minute to lossen up.
Plenty of power
This sub has a very clean sound and enough power to rattle the furniture in the room above my home theater. It sounds better than subs from other manufacturers at twice the cost.
Very balanced
I bought it from Velodyne site as an upgrade for my Sony sub. Couldn't wait to receive it and it only took 3 days for my sub to arrive. Connected it to my Yamaha RX-V671 and I'm absolutely loving this sub. Lows sound very balanced and there is no muddy boom. The music just sounds great and I can't tell that the base is coming out of the sub-- VX11 blends so well with my satellite speakers. Thank you Velodyne for fast delivery, and great and affordable product.
Outstanding Value
I've had this subwoofer for about a year now, and I have to say that I am still impressed with it. It sits on a homemade sub riser that raises it around 5". This really helped out to smooth the bass response, and when watching Finding Nemo on Blu Ray the scene where the niece taps on the fishtank in the dentist's office. Wow, I had no idea just how much bass that one scene had. It blends in smoothly with my Ascend Acoustics CBM-170's for L/R and CMT-340 Center Channel. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
Good quality sub
Being an audiophile, I wanted a budget subwoofer. for my wife !! Tight punch, clean bass ! Highly recommend it.
A good product
I've had mine for about 9 months and it works great. It is amazing they have this product for such a low price and amazing quality. Hopefully in about 3 months I'll be upgrading the the Impact 12"
Very PleasedBy Audio Murphy April 01, 2012
I've had this sub for over a year now, and it's awesome. The key with subwoofers isn't so much with volume, as it is with clarity. When I set it up initially I had the volume set at 3 and began to play Battlefield through the a/v receiver. The explosions scared the crap out of me, so I've since learned to keep the volume at 2. When it's time to upgrade, I'll be sticking with Velodyne.

Last March, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy; however, like many, I did not have the birth experience that I intended. I wanted a natural childbirth with little intervention or few drugs. I still struggle with my birth experience emotionally, especially when I thought I was well educated on the topic of birth and knew about the high rates of c-sections. I thought I was doing a good thing by choosing a Certified Nurse Midwife to be my provider. However, she works out of a clinic with doctors, and I wonder how much she truly is a midwife. Here is how my birth happened.
I went in for a checkup the day before my due date. My midwife had ordered an ultrasound because she thought I was going to have a large baby. Well, according to the ultrasound, the baby was measuring only at 6 or 7 lbs, pretty average size. My amniotic fluid level was at a 7, which is within the normal range of 5 to 12. However, my midwife thought 7 was too low, and she wanted to induce me. She did a test to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid, but I wasn't. She left the room to consult with an OB/GYN in the office. My midwife came in and said that the doctor agreed I should be induced. I was miserable being pregnant and anxious to have the baby, so I went along with their decision. I should have said no.
I went to the hosptial around 11:00 a.m. and was given pitocin around noon. I was ony dilated to one, I think. Later that night, the midwife and same OB/GYN came in and stripped my membranes (painful!) and broke my water. I think I had dilated to three by the end of the night. Instead of walking around being more active in my labor, my midwife and the nurses encouraged me to rest because it was going to be a long night. Really? I'm supposed to sleep through these contractions? Again, I should have said no.
The contractions from the pit became so painful that I couldn't stand them any longer, so at 2:30 a.m., I got an epidural, going against my birth plan again. I struggled to rest because the epidural monitor kept beeping for no apparent reason. When I woke up early in the morning, I was checked...still at three. I was beginning to fear the worst. The midwife and doctor came in and told me that I would need a c-section. Apparently in the middle of the night, the nurse had to turn off the pitocin because my baby's heart rate had dropped. I was devastated. I wanted to say no, but it was too late.
At 10:04 a.m. on March 19th, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I feel strange using the phrase "gave birth" because being cut open having my child ripped from my body doesn't feel like giving birth. Maybe next time I will have the courage to say no.

Dear Heather,
I am saddened to hear of your difficult experience. You did the best that you could--your providers made choices. At the time you were not in a good position to contradict them. The birth of my first baby was somewhat along the lines of your experience. Journaling your experience can help. And this site is a good place to express your feelings. And then enjoy your baby boy.
I hope you will find times and places to speak up about your experience. As more women speak up, it is more likely that change will take place. Some certified nurse midwives are educated in the hospital under the direction of obstetricians and practice like obstetricians. It is important that women understand the differences among midwives.
Wishing you increasing resolution of your experience, and joy as you care for baby!
Thank you for your words of encouragement, Carol. I do find comfort in knowing that I am not alone in my experience. I was also upset about the whole birth experience because I think it greatly affected my ability to breastfeed. I tried for seven weeks, but I just didn't produce enough, so my son ended up being formula fed. He has been a joy, and I love him to pieces, but I just my birth would have been different. If we do have another child, I am definitely going to find a provider who will do a VBAC or possibly an HBAC. The hospital that my current provider works for does not allow VBACs at all, but there are other options.
Take care!
I am sorry to hear about your birth experience.
I had a simular situation with the birth of my first daughter in 2008. I cryed for two weeks straight. Eventually it got easier to think about but now, almost three years later, I am pregnant with my second and I am having alot of anxiety about this birth. Lastnight I cryed myself to sleep thinking about it.
I am glad your baby was healthy, and I hope that you next birth is what you want it to be.
Heather, i am so sorry that you had such a painful experience. As an aspiring midwife, it affects me on a personal level. Please do not blame yourself for your battle with breast feeding. My first baby was born at home with a wonderful and loving midwife. I had a beautiful birth experience and everything went "right," but my son still would not nurse. He never did - i tried for 4 months every day and continued to try from time to time until he was 8 months old and sprouted a few teeth. I understand the emotion and exhaustion involved in that battle alone!! Looking back, i wish i had not been so hard on myself.
Unfortunately for you and others like you, we live in a country where there is a great deal of fear surrounding birth. The first midwife i encountered was a cnm who worked in a large medical center with a number of obstetricians. She truly had good intentions, but the way she was trained and her exposure to birth made it difficult for her to trust anything about it. Fortunately for me fate intervened and i met a cpm who i fell in love with and who helped me to birth my son without any help from anyone else. There is no doubt in my mind i would have been in your boat otherwise. I hope that time will heal your emotional wounds and that when the time comes for you to have another baby, you will find a care provider who cares about you as much as the "percieved" danger involved. If you are not comfortable having a home birth, you might want to consider hiring a doula and finding a dr who is supportive of natural birth.
I have encountered many women who share your story. If you don't know about it, there is a great website called the unneccesarian ( theunnecesarean.com ) that might help you deal with some of the issues you still have surrounding your son's birth.
I am sorry you did not get the birth you wanted. I have experienced 3 different kinds of birth. 1 "emergency" c-section, a successful VBAC with an epi, and a completely medication FREE birth. But let me tell you, I had to fight hard for my latest birth. I had done my research, brought in the most current sections from the ACOG on VBAC's, had the doctor on call tell me that she was going to physically hold me down if I didn't go along with her, my poor husband didn't know what to do, I continued to refuse interventions that they were telling me I NEEDED, and at one point kicked EVERYONE out of the L/D room just so I could labor alone for a while. Thankfully when I eventually went in to give birth I had a WONDERFUL doctor on call.
Just stay strong and know that you will get the birth you want, you just need to hold strong. I don't know if the pain of not getting your birth will get better, I'm still struggling with guilt from my c-section when I was 17, but it was out of my control and there was a beautiful baby as the end result.
This is so hard to read. I have heard many, many stories like this from women all over the US, and it makes me want to stand in front of hospitals and waves signs, or shout from the rooftops that women don't have to go through birth trauma! Why are we still enduring these types of "birth rapes" when the majority of us are intelligent women who have access to information? I send books and DVDs to any woman who asks me (and honestly, to some friends who don't ask), and most of them are grateful. One decided I was giving her quack info :), and didn't read or watch anything, and went to the hospital. She almost lost her life. I cried.
Heather, you can still have wonderful births in the future! Yes, you have to say no, and be strong, but you will. Mothers who have been through what you have are much better at putting their foot down. Let us all know when you are pregnant again, and we'll all encourage you and do what we can to help you get the birth experience you deserve!
This story is so, so similar to my experience. I can completely empathize and my heart truly goes out to you. The only difference between the two of us is that I was able to dialate to 9½ cm and as soon as they discovered that, my midwife gave me the option of pushing for only an hour. If nothing changed, I would be forced to a c-section. At that point I had already labored 30+ hours and gave in. I shouldn't have.
I'm fearful this time around (I'm currently 31 weeks) that things won't go my way again. I did switch doctors (pro-VBAC) and will be delivering at a pro-VBAC hospital, but I'm still very skeptical. I must admit I was very educated on wanting a natural birth and stated it very clearly to my first doctor/midwives and they pretty much smirked at me. After it was all said and done, I felt like they had won. Like they were pointing fingers at me and laughing because they "knew" I couldn't do it. I felt very cheated.
One thing I realized that I was lacking was a strong support system during labor. Don't get me wrong, my husband was wonderful, but he couldn't stand to see me in pain and only wanted my agony to end. I wanted him to stay strong and stick up for my needs. I'm glad they offer doula's at the hospital, although I'm thinking I should have hired one. Because I didn't know what to expect the first time around, I'm hoping this time I can be more assertive with my needs instead of listening to doctor/nurses recommendations, especially if they don't feel right to me.
I pray that you get through this emotional battle. I've been trying to revisit that day in my head so I can prepare what my actions will be if it were to happen again. I also know there are many women out there who have had successful VBAC's and you can too! Best of luck to you and enjoy that wonderful son of yours!
This is the inspiring birth story of a lady I know - though I don't know her well, I know her midwife a little better.
And this woman ended up giving birth on her own in her kitchen before her midwife got there! What an empowered woman to be comfortable enough with just her family for support (although she plans to have her midwife come earlier on next time).
I share this only because I think women need to hear more stories like this.

Terzaghi Compaction
Application ID: 491
Fluids that move through pore spaces in an aquifer or reservoir can shield the porous medium from stress because they bear part of the load from, for instance, overlying rocks, sediments, fluids, and buildings. Withdrawing fluids from the pore space increases the stress the solids bear, sometimes to the degree that the reservoir measurably compacts. The reduction in the pore space loops back and alters the fluid pressures. The feedback brings about more fluid movement, and the cycle continues. Terzaghi Compaction describes a conventional flow model and uses the results to calculate vertical compaction following Terzaghi theory.
This model solves a conventional saturated fluid flow problem for change in hydraulic head and utilizes the results to assess the vertical compaction of sediments. The COMSOL Multiphysics solution is compared to published results. This example is modified in the Biot Poroelasticity model to analyze two-way coupled fluid flow and solid deformation.

IBM Placed in Leaders Quadrant by Leading Analyst Firm for IBM MobileFirst
IBM recently announced that Gartner has positioned IBM as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms.[i]
The new report places IBM in the Leaders Quadrant, as measured by completeness of vision and execution ability of IBM Worklight, IBM's mobile application development platform. Acquired by IBM in February 2012, IBM Worklight is a member of the IBM MobileFirst family of solutions. In just one year, IBM has advanced from the Niche Quadrant to the Leaders Quadrant.
This announcement follows a string of strong showings for IBM MobileFirst services and software capabilities, including IBM Worklight, in Gartner Magic Quadrants this summer. In July, IBM was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing.[ii] IBM is also named a visionary in Magic Quadrants for Managed Mobility Services[iii] and Mobile Device Management[iv].
According to the report, as this market reaches early mainstream status, Gartner expects Leaders to be profitable, and to present lower risk and consistently high project results as the market begins to consolidate and competition grows. Leaders must not only be good at cross-platform development and deployment, but also have a good vision of the multichannel enterprise, support for standards, a solid understanding of IT requirements, and scalable channels and partnerships to market. Leaders must provide platforms that are easy to purchase, program, deploy and upgrade. Leaders can focus primarily on either business-to-consumer or business-to-enterprise, but vision and execution scores are higher for vendors that can cover both use cases today.

What is the prognosis for oral herpes (cold sores)?
Cold sores usually resolve on their own within one to two weeks. However, the virus may become reactivated, causing a recurrence of symptoms in the same location.
Herpes infection may be severe in people with a weakened immune system. It is also dangerous if it infects the eye or the brain.
What other conditions can look like oral herpes (cold sores)?
There are many conditions that can be confused with herpes, including abrasions, razor burns, pimples, impetigo, angular stomatitis, and canker sores (aphthous ulcers).
What is angular stomatitis?
Angular stomatitis refers to inflammation, cracking, or irritation at the corners of the mouth. In contrast, herpes infections usually appear on the upper or lower lip margins, not in the corners. Angular stomatitis may be an initial sign of anemia or vitamin deficiency. It can also occur in people who wear dentures, whose saliva can accumulate and lead to the overgrowth of yeast.
What are canker sores?
Canker sores, or aphthous ulcers, are ulcerations that occur inside the mouth along the mucosa. They are found on the inner cheeks and lower lip as well as on the tongue, palate, and the covering of the gums. Canker sores are small, round, and painful. They are gray in color with a distinct edge. They are not contagious and are caused by stress or trauma to the area.
How is oral herpes diagnosed?
The diagnosis of herpes (cold sores) is usually based solely on the appearance of the lesions. Less commonly, viral culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are used to help in the diagnosis of herpes infection.
Swabbing the blister in an attempt to culture the virus in the lab is only productive in the first 48 hours and before the blister has crusted over. If lesions resolve, then cultures are of no help, because there's nothing left to culture. Culture results take a minimum of three to five days.
PCR testing detects herpes DNA, but it is not as readily available as culture. PCR is done on clinical specimens obtained from swabs of active lesions as described above.
Blood tests are often irrelevant, since finding antibodies to herpes just means that the body has been exposed to this virus at some point in the past. It does not determine if the current lesion is due to herpes.
If the diagnosis is in doubt, the best approach is to encourage the person to see a doctor at the first sign of a sore. That will allow the clinician to see active lesions that can be tested by culture or PCR.

October Almanac
October is often a month that starts warm but end with our first frosts. We are certainly starting out warm this year with a streak with highs in the eighties beginning today. The average high and low downtown on the first is seventy five and fifty six. By the end of the month the averages drop to sixty four and forty five. October averages a bit over three inches of rain.
Guess what ? The Nation's Capital averages a trace of snow in October while Dulles can see a tenth of an inch. Our earliest measurable snowfall is the tenth back in 1979 when three tenths of an inch fell at National Airport. Not that it meant much, but that winter ended up with an above average seasonal snowfall total.
Our earliest thirty two degree reading downtown is the tenth way back in 1895. Our latest ninety degree day is eleventh back in 1919. In 2005, Washingtonians experienced the wettest October on record when 9.41 inches of rain fell. That followed the driest September on record at National Airport; Washington, D.C.'s official weather reporting station. October can also see tropical rainfall from the remnants of former tropical systems. Such was the case with the remnants of Hurricane Opal in 1995 that brought three weak tornadoes to Maryland during the first week of the month.
October is a great month for leaf peeping in our area. The foliage average peak color in the Shenandoah Valley is between the sixteenth and the twentieth. Peak in our northern and western suburbs is the last week in October. (Average peak in town is the first week of November.)
The new moon is on the fourth while the full moon will be on the eighteenth. On the sixth you can see the crescent moon between Mercury and Saturn. The moon will appear to the right of Venus on the seventh and to the right of Jupiter on the twenty fourth. Jupiter will rise around 11 PM from the twenty fourth on and will be visible to the naked eye after midnight.

Rupert Murdoch is set to continue his evidence to the Leveson Inquiry on Thursday morning, answering questions about allegations of phone hacking at his newspapers in Britain.
On Wednesday the 81-year-old News Corp chief executive denied asking for any personal favours from politicians or using his newspapers to promote his commercial interests.
He also accused former prime minister Gordon Brown of threatening to wage war on News Corp, an allegation Brown said was "wholly" inaccurate.
Murdoch at Leveson: The 10 best quotes so far
- On the BBC: "Prime ministers all hated the BBC and all gave it everything it wanted."
- On The Sun's support for the Conservatives: "I could have been like the Telegraph. I could even have texted them every day".
- On being questioned: "Let's get him to get this f**king thing over with today".
- To Tony Blair: "If our flirtation is ever consummated Tony, I suspect we will end up making love like porcupines, very very carefully."
- On politics: "I don't know many politicians."
- On The Sun: "We are perhaps the only independent newspaper in the business."
- On Business: "I take a particularly strong pride in the fact we've never pushed our commercial interests in our newspapers"
- On Gordon Brown: "I did not think he was in a very balanced state of mind."
- On unions: "I didn't have the will to crush the unions. I might have had the desire, but that took several years"
- On favours: "I've never asked a Prime Minister for anything"

SCANDAL: Special Adviser Resigns: 'My Activities At Times Went Too Far'
UP CLOSE: What do Murdoch's notes say?
Murdoch's evidence to Leveson has finished. But they'll be more written evidence to delve through online soon.
Murdoch is told about a journalists who claimed she experienced "constant bullying." He asks why she did not resign.
Leveson interjects, saying: "I think the problem with that might be that she needs a job".
Murdoch says he has "never heard of" allegations of bullying in News International. "They always strike me as a happy crowd."
|@ paulwaugh : Leveson refuses to allow NUJ lawyer to ask Qs re NI's MSC collusion w cops. But Murdoch says MSC didn't reveal journo sources
Murdoch says his journalists can join the NUJ at any point.
|@ rowenamason : Some of my channels are better than the BBC, some a lot worse, says Murdoch #Leveson
He says Murdoch's accusation about Dacre: "I'm going to suggest you've made a mistake in reading something."
But Murdoch said he did not "see the difference," adding: "I think there's no doubt that maybe the Daily Mail and other newspapers were campaigning against it and against us.. That is a commercial reason. They said at the time in their public statement they felt in some commercial danger, if you like, if we succeeded."
|@ Peston : "I've spent hundreds of millions of dollars" on internal investigation, says Murdoch. Really? Can it really be that much. #leveson
|@ mlcalderone : Murdoch claims Huffington Post has just "a few" reporters -- he should come by the newsroom some time! #leveson
Quite hilariously, Murdoch says his paper the Wall Street Journal is a "challenge to get through." Unsure if he meant it like that. He says they are adding more pictures to it.
In fact there's more advertising opportunities occurring every year even then there are websites. So the rates stay very low. But it's a fact of life. We have to treat it as an opportunity. The Times of London, seven days a week, we put it on the ipad, we charge for it. Unfortunately apple takes 30% but that's another argument. That can be seen any corner of the world, so maybe there's an opportunity there.
|@ SamiraAhmedUK : Surprise! Rupert Murdoch in his comfort zone now as he blames BBC for its alleged role in declining newspaper sales. #leveson
Murdoch says it comes down to an argument about intellectual property (but it is a bit unclear what he is talking about). And now, the predictable jibe at the BBC (which does do "great broadcasting").
He says the BBC's website is viewed by 12m people in Britain a week and "feel they have had enough news", saying this is taxpayer funded and affects newspaper circulation.
|@ benfenton : #murdoch apologises for repeating a private conversation with Jay?Leveson that reveals he likes Le Monde and The Times.
|@ PSbook : Murdoch tells #leveson he doesn't have a great understanding of technology. His purchase of Myspace would seem to support that.
"We're spending a lot of money trying to, and succeeding, in presenting every word of our newspapers on modern tablets. There will be, I will be very confident in saying, that in a very short time.. there will be billions of tablets in the world."
He says other people read news on their smart phones (or as Murdoch refers to them a "smart telephone") but says he thinks printed presses can survive another 20 years with "small" circulations.
"You said that I had at the very beginning a great understanding of technology. I don't... But the fact is that the internet came along, slowly developed as a source of news and now is absolutely in our space.
"I think it's been responsible for a lot of loss of circulation. I should ask the judge. This inquiry I presume is for the press in this country, not just the press in Fleet Street. We're seeing everybody under extreme pressure."
He adds: "People can send their blogs from Beijing and from the Cayman Islands and whatever you do you can't regulate that. I think you have a danger of regulating, putting regulations in place, which will mean there will be no press in 10 years to regulate."
The News of the World, let's be quite honest, was an aberration and it's my fault.
|@ christopherhope : #leveson BREAKING MPs on the Commons' Culture Select Committee will publish their long-awaited report on phone hacking on Tuesday, May 1
|@ christopherhope : #Leveson BREAK Cabinet Office confirms Cabinet Secretary and Treasury Solicitor spoke to Leveson on Tues afternoon
"We set up inquiry after inquiry, we employed legal firm after legal firm. Perhaps we relied too much on the conclusions of the police."
He says News Corp's response to being accused of collective amnesia was "disrespectful to parliament."
He says when he appeared at the select committee last July he said he was the right person to clear it up, and he did. "I have spent hundreds of millions of dollars.... Anything that looked faintly suspicious was passed to the police. That led to, I think, a dozen midnight arrests. Because of my pledge, not because of police. We went way beyond what they'd asked us to do.
"I remain greatly distressed that people who have been with me for 20 or 30 years.. My distress, it would be presumptuous to compare it with the immense disturbance, if you like, and hurt to the people who were arrested. I feel responsible for that but I'm glad we did it."
|@ RobDotHutton : Think Private Eye may need to increase its pagination next week. #leveson
I think that historically this whole business of the News of the World is a serious blot on my reputation.
"When the Milly Dowler situation was first given huge publicity, I think all the newspaper took this as the chance to really make a really national scandal. It made people all over the country aware of this..
"I panicked. But I'm glad I did. I'm sorry I didn't close it years before and put a Sunday Sun in. I tell you what held us back - the News of the World readers, only half of them read the Sun."
|@ MASieghart : Tim de Lisle resigned as Arts Editor of The Times when he was pressurised to run a big Sky plug #leveson
"I don't have any other business interests. I certainly would ask or suggest, I don't think it needs suggesting, the editor of The Sun that it would be good to mention what's coming up in our new paper on Sunday. There is self-promotion in newspapers."
These are known to be, um, not 100% accurate.
|@ tom_watson : I raised the blackmail point with Murdoch last year and he's claiming he still hasn't read the judgement. Outrageous. #leveson
He says Andrew Neil, the former Sunday Times editor, doesn't "know the first thing he is talking about."
"Mr Neil seems to have found it very profitable to spread lies about me"
From a press gazette story in December:
Lord Justice Leveson this afternoon condemned as outrageous an incident in which the News of the World threatened to expose one of the dominatrices involved in the Max Mosley sex party if they didn't cooperate with the paper.

atom? = Atom (final class)
ref? = IRef (interface)
deref? = IDeref (interface)
named? = Named (interface, despite no I prefix)
map-entry? = IMapEntry (interface)
lazy-seq? = LazySeq (final class)
throwable? = Throwable
exception? = Exception, but this seems less useful as it feels like the right answer when you likely actually want throwable?
pattern? = java.util.regex.Pattern
Yes, they do, and sometimes the code has many checks like (instance? clojure.lang.Atom x). Ok, you can write a little function (atom? x) but it has either to be written in all relevant namespaces or required/referred there from some extra namespace. All this is just a burden. For example, we have predicates like (var? x) or (future? x) which too map to Java classes, but having them abbreviated often makes possible to write a cleaner code.
I feel the first group to be especially significant for it being about core Clojure concepts like atom and ref. Having to fall to manual Java classes check to work with them feels inorganic. Of course we can, but why then do we have (var? x), (fn? x) and other? Imagine, for example:
(var? x) (...)
(fn? x) (...)
(instance? clojure.lang.Atom x) (...)
(or (instance? clojure.lang.Named x) (instance? clojure.lang.LazySeq x)) (...))
(var? x) (...)
(fn? x) (...)
(atom? x) (...)
(or (named? x) (lazy-seq? x)) (...))
The second group is too, essential since these concepts are fundamental for the platform (but you're right with the (exception? x) one).
Also, obviously I missed the (boolean? x) predicate in the original post. Did not even guess it is absent too until I occasionally got into it today. Currently the most clean way we have is to do (or (true? x) (false? x)). Needles to say, it looks weird next to the present (integer? x) or (float? x).
Predicates for core types are also very useful for portability to CLJS.
I'd be happy to provide a patch for this, but I'd prefer universal interface support where possible. Therefore, this ticket, in my mind, is behind http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-803 etc.
I don't think it's worth making a ticket for this until Rich has looked at it and determined which parts are wanted.
Someone asked about a boolean? predicate, so throwing this one on the list...
uuid? maybe. UUIDs have a bit of a strange position in that we have special printer handling for them built into core implying that they are intentionally part of Clojure, but there is no ->UUID constructor and no functions in core that operate on them so I could see this one being specifically declined.
This has been troubling me again with my first cljc project. So, I've added a whole bunch of tickets (with patches!) for individual predicates in both CLJ and CLJS.
As I said above, I don't want to mess with specific patches or tickets on this until Rich gets a look at this and we decide which stuff should and should not be included. So I'm going to ignore your other tickets for now...
map-entry? is included since 1.8

Grandfather's hidden photos inspire Holocaust film
BOSTON Matthew Nash's grandfather only mentioned the photographs to him once.
Twenty-five-years later, they are the subject of a new documentary on the Holocaust that Nash spent three years making after finding the pictures his grandfather took while serving as an Army medic in World War II.
Kept hidden from Nash and others in the family, the photos were not something Nash's grandfather seemed to want to talk about with relatives. But they were something he could never forget.
Nash's film - "16 Photographs at Ohrdruf" - tells of the first concentration camp that U.S. soldiers liberated in 1945.
The 72-minute film will have its first public screening Thursday evening at Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass., and also will be shown as part of the Boston International Film Festival on April 16 and the G.I. Film Festival in Washington in May.
The summer he was 12, Nash asked about his grandfather's World War II service as the two were stacking wood in his grandparents' barn in East Dorset, Vt.
"As I recall he got really quiet," said Nash, now a 37-year-old photography professor at Lesley University. "I think he just said, `Yeah, we saw some really terrible things. When you get a little older, I'll show you some pictures and you'll understand.'"
But Donald Grant Johnson, a former Army lieutenant, died in 1991 without sharing the photos with his grandson. Family members only spoke of the pictures in whispers.
When Nash's grandmother threatened to destroy them when the subject came up at Thanksgiving dinner in 1995, Nash and his sister felt compelled to secretly sift through their late grandfather's belongings the following Christmas. That's when they found an envelope marked "Holocaust" tucked away in a wooden trunk. Inside were a few letters and a series of snapshots of a war horror the 23-year-old Johnson encountered as a soldier in April 1945.
Johnson took most of the photos at Ohrdruf in Germany. Nash believes his grandfather may have treated survivors of the camp, which the Germans had formed as a sub-camp of Buchenwald.
On a personalized sheet of notepaper with "Don Johnson" printed at the top, the 65th Infantry Division Army veteran cataloged the photo collection as best he could.
"Lime Pit - effort to destroy bodies," reads one handwritten caption. "Griddle used in (vain) attempt to incinerate bodies - note skull bottom center," reads another. "Small stack of bodies," says yet another.
Soldiers are on the outskirts of some of Johnson's shots, standing together to view piles of emaciated and burned corpses. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower wanted many witnesses to the Nazi atrocity so that reports of it couldn't be dismissed as propaganda.
"He had as many units as possible come and see the camp," said Geoffrey Megargee, a scholar from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum who appears in Nash's film.
Johnson likely came to Ohrdruf within a few days of its liberation. He later returned home to become a banker, National Guard soldier, and a volunteer emergency-medical technician.
Some of Johnson's photos show survivors, including what he described as a survivor being treated by two camp doctors. The skeletal-looking man is lying on a cot, with what appears to be an open wound on his hip, as the men stand beside him. In another, a bare-chested boy of about 14 looks toward the camera, with what appears to be prisoner barracks in the background.
Nash found 19 photos in all and used 16 in his film. His research showed his grandfather may have shot a few of the photos at Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria.
The professor also discovered from letters his grandfather packed away with the pictures that he had wanted his photographs to become part of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. He said in one letter that he had visited more than one concentration camp, but Ohrdruf was engraved in his memory.

Dustin Lee Hoffman was born on Aug. 8, 1937, in Los Angeles. His father worked at Columbia Studios in props and set dressing before shifting to furniture design, launching his own short-lived store, Harry Hoffman Furniture Company. His mother was a former jazz pianist and set Hoffman up with a piano and a teacher from the age of five. He was a restless student who frustrated parents and teachers with his poor grades and was first kicked out of school in the third grade. He harbored dreams of becoming a jazz musician, studying piano at with the L.A.

I am thinking about the area in 75 close to the conteninatal divide above vallecito lake. you think this is a good bet? also, how has the winter been out west this past year?
I am thinking about the area in 75 close to the conteninatal divide above vallecito lake. you think this is a good bet? also, how has the winter been out west this past year?
I'll send you a PM when I get a few minutes.
Buddy and I drew this tag this year. Been pouring over maps and Google Earth a lot lately. Obviously this is big country. My general question is where is the majority of the foot traffic happening at? We would like to avoid as much human activity as we can. We have our hunt planned for the first week of season through Labor day weekend.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Don't worry too much about foot traffic... You are in the back country and no matter where you go, you will see back packers... The deer are used to this, so don't even factor it in... Most of the trails are not near bedding areas either... There are the CT and divide trails that run through that country as well as a 100 mile race that goes through that country in the summer/fall... The deer won't even care...
"This is A Way of Life"
Good to know. Now to figure out where to hunt!! lol
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
OR archer, i will be there the exact same time as you. maybe we will meet on the mountain! Best of luck!
pcc2b hopefully if we meet up we will both be loaded down with meat and antlers!!
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I drew 75/751 this yr first time applying for it.(was expecting points, but i'll take it!) I live in Farmington NM and hunt elk in these units every year I get the chance. I have seen some great deer while on those hunts! Google earth does not do the terrain justice! Most of it is very steep and rugged. There are some very good access roads outside of Durango to get you started in the right direction. Send me a pm and I can give you a little more detailed information. I'll be more than willing to help anyway I can. Just can't give you our secrete basins!
Hey guys, well going to be in the same area, drew a tag for first archery 75/751 going to be arriving out there for the opener coming from New Hampshire. Really looking forward to this hunt been planning for over a year. Been doing a lot of research on the weminuchee seems like there might be some nice looking basins to check out. Can't wait to get out there and sounds like there might be a few other guys on here that are going to be in th same area at the same time. Been checking out spotting scopes wondering if anybody has any recommendations, not much need for spotting scopes in NH, been checking out the Nikon ED 50, any suggestions or alternative scopes you guys recommend checking out?
The ed50 will work great for a CO high country hunt.

More from Cyclones.tv
The Cyclones will start the tournament Friday night by taking on hosts New Mexico State at 7 p.m. Central Time and then play Weber State immediately following the first game. It is a similar set up on Saturday as ISU again plays hosts NMSU at 7 p.m. CST and follow that up by taking on Northern Colorado. Iowa State will wrap up the tournament Sunday morning at 10 a.m. CST by playing Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. All games will be played at the NMSU Softball Complex.
Live stats for all games will be available here. Iowa State Assistant Director for Athletics Communications Patrick Tarbox will host a live blog during all five of the Cyclones' games that can be accessed here.
Cyclone Headlines
- After a 4-0 start at home to the 2014 season, the Iowa State softball team hits the road for the next five weekends, with 24 games until its next home contest. The Cyclones will be at the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, N.M.
- The Cyclones will play hosts New Mexico State and Weber State on the first night, NMSU again and Northern Colorado on the second night and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to close out the tournament Sunday morning.
- ISU's 4-0 start to the season marks the fifth time in school history the Cyclones have started a season with at least four straight wins. Iowa State also started with four wins in 1981, five in 2011, six in 1975 and the school record start of 7-0 came in 2009.
- Designated player Aly Cappaert sits atop the Big 12 in batting average after hitting .700 in the first weekend of the season. She also leads the conference in on-base percentage (.769) and ranks tied for second in slugging percentage (1.000) and total hits (7).
- Freshman catcher Rachel Hartman is one of eight players in the Big 12 to hit multiple home runs during the first weekend of the season.
- Shortstop Lexi Slater is tied for the Big 12 lead with three doubles.
- In the circle, freshman Katie Johnson threw all 28 innings for Iowa State last weekend in the absense of ISU's other starter, Paris Imholz.
- Johnson is the only pitcher in the Big 12 to have more than three wins (she has four to her name), is the only pitcher with four complete games to her name and leads the conference in innings pitched.
- Johnson was also one of five Big 12 pitchers to record a shutout in the first weekend, when Johnson blanked South Dakota State on Feb. 8.
- In ISU's win over SDSU on Feb. 9, Johnson became the third freshman pitcher in school history to have at least 10 strikeouts in a game when she struck out 10 Jackrabbit batters.

Three activists associated with The Cincinnati Beacon blog have lodged a formal complaint with the city's attorneys today, alleging some City Council members "behaved secretly and in contradiction of the charter" during a recent budget dispute.
Also, other critics are researching whether the council members' action violated state law.
Two far-reaching ideas by Cincinnati's fly-by-the-seats-of-their-pants City Council is being sharply criticized by people with extensive experience in policing issues.
As City Council acts surprised about a $58 million deficit that's loomed on the horizon for months, an amount that's only fluctuated slightly due to changing revenues, members last week proposed abolishing the Cincinnati Police Department's patrol bureau and contracting those services to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The man that some City Council members want to put in control of policing in Cincinnati once blamed liberal judges, feminists, atheists, civil libertarians, and gays and lesbians as responsible for crime in U.S. society.
Cincinnati officials spent five years and millions of dollars trying to improve police-community relations in the wake of the 2001 riots, as part of a series of reforms mandated by a federal court that became known as the Collaborative Agreement. Now some of the people involved in that process are worried that a proposal to abolish the local Police Department and contract services to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office could jeopardize the progress.
With donations from filmmaker Michael Moore and others, WikiLeaks provocateur Julian Assange made bail today and was released from a British prison, awaiting extradition to Sweden on sex charges.
A judge had set Assange's bail at 240,000 pounds, which equals about $380,521. Moore donated $20,000, which equals about 12,633 pounds.
Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision that stopped the presidential election recount in Florida and handed the 2000 election to George W. Bush.
It's difficult to believe that was already 10 years ago. And it's amazing still that A) the Supreme Court acted in such a blatantly political manner to step in and resolve a state election issue, halting a legal recount, and B) that Americans didn't take to the streets to revolt against the power grab by Bush and his Republican cronies.
In the latest volley in the escalating cyberwar involving attacks on WikiLeaks and its founder, anonymous hackers have blocked access and disrupted service to Web sites for MasterCard, the Swedish prosecutor's office and the attorney representing two women accusing Assange of crimes
After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange voluntarily turned himself into British authorities today, he was denied bail and remains in custody until at least Dec. 14, according to The Guardian newspaper in London.
Assange, 39, was told by London Metropolitan police about new charges he faces in connection with two sexual encounters he had in Sweden. "He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010," the newspaper reported.
Just hours after a Swiss bank froze access today to a legal defense fund established for WikiLeaks provocateur Julian Assange, a group of hackers have shut down the bank's Web site in an escalating "infowar."
A group calling itself Operation Payback took responsibility for the Internet attack on the Swiss bank, PostFinance, via its Twitter account. "We will fire at anyone that tries to censor WikiLeaks," the group said in its announcement.

I realized that we are just tough young men. Resilient, really, Morris adds. A lot of people probably would have tucked their tail and tried to make moves but this group stuck together. Everybody is on the same page and that really told me a lot about the type of season we can have.
