In August of 2014, the Archive-It team put out a call for URLs related to the August 9th shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. Soon after we were joined by Archive-It partner Washington University in St. Louis, MO who contributed lists of URLs and solicited URLs from communities in and around Ferguson. Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities contributed a significant number of URLs extracted from tweets about Michael Brown and Ferguson. In December we expanded the collection to include content related to the July 17th chokehold death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY, and the reactions around the country to the acquittal of the police officers in both cases. The collection then progressed further to reflect the movement building in reaction to the perceived unjust police violence against people of color. Today the #blacklivesmatter Web Archive contains news articles, blogs, social media, and other websites related to Ferguson, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, protests and demonstrations around the country, and seeks to document the movement as it grows and evolves. Seed URL nominations are continuing to be accepted. If you would like to contribute to the collection please copy and paste the following URL into your browser: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1uTyINjaFgLMzizrxqGzGbS8avb5_1xJJ2ostRnhvxXo/viewform Note: Many of these sites contain videos, some of which may not play back in the page.

Should Pit Bulls face breed specific regulations and legislation? In our first report we heard two very different viewpoints on Pit bulls from those who love them and those who hate them. Some communities have taken action against Pit Bulls.
Following the fatal attack by a Pit Bull on a three-year-old boy at Camp Lejeune in 2008, the base enacted a ban on Pit Bulls and other dogs that may be considered dangerous.
Pit Bull bans have been proposed in Kinston and Roanoke Rapids, but never passed.
The town of Edenton in Chowan County did put a ban in place in 2004, but recently amended that to allow what it terms any potentially vicious dog as long as the owner registers it with the town. The city manager says the change was made based on concerns that the ordinance was potentially unconstitutional.
Pit bull advocates like Southern Belle Pit Bull Rescue founder Amanda Boykin couldn't agree more. Boykin says, "You can't ban a breed for something one dog does."
Pitt County Animal Control director Michele Whaley does not support banning breeds, saying all dogs bite, not just Pit Bulls. Whaley says, "We have everything from your Labs to your German Shepherds to your Chows to mixes to puppies. Really it's all sorts of dogs."
But the question is do Pit Bulls bite more? The Centers for Disease Control and Humane Society say there's no central agency compiling that information and they don't collect it. But local animal control offices and health departments do, so WITN dug into the local numbers to see what they show.
In 2011 in Pitt County there were around 250 dog bites. Pit Bulls had the most with 41. In Onslow County there were 334 dog bites. Pit Bulls lead the way with with 55. Craven County had 211 dog bites. Pit Bulls had the most with 37. Lenoir County reported 69 dog bites involving people. Leading the way was Pit Bulls with 14. And Beaufort County had 85 dog bites. Pit Bulls accounted for 22, right behind Labs and Lab mixes with 24.
While Pit Bulls were at or near the top in all of the counties we checked, Pit Bull advocates, and even those who collect the data, say it doesn't provide an accurate picture because the population of any of the breeds is unknown. But they say they do believe there is a very large Pit Bull population.
Pitt County has chosen to enact a dangerous dog ordinance addressing all dogs, not any particular breed. Whaley says, "I think no matter what the breed dog it goes down to how that dog is raised, how it's being kept."
Even so, Beaufort County Animal Control director Sandy Woolard says she gets plenty of complaints about Pit Bulls. Woolard says, "We see a lot of people say we don't want em in our neighborhood. If someone sees them roaming the neighborhood they're automatically afraid because it is a pit bull."
While Woolard doesn't see Beaufort County proposing a Pit Bull ban, changes are coming to the county dog ordinance. Woolard says, "We do have an ordinance committee together right now and we're redrafting and making a new ordinance and it may put something in there for Pit Bulls."
Ultimately, Woolard says their goal is to keep the public, and all dogs safe. One way they do that with Pit Bulls now is by not allowing same day adoptions and to temperament test them before allowing them to be adopted so they can find a good home for them.
Whaley believes part of the solution is to not allow chaining of dogs. She says research shows it makes them more aggressive.
Boykin favors mandatory spay and neuter for all dogs and a breeder's license for people who want to breed dogs as a way to reduce all dog bites.

In personal mode WPA2 is more secure than WPA. However, I have read that WPA Enterprise provides stronger security than WPA2 and I am unsure exactly how this is achieved.
The PSK variants of WPA and WPA2 uses a 256-bit key derived from a password for authentication.
The Enterprise variants of WPA and WPA2, also known as
The key difference between WPA and WPA2 is the encryption protocol used. WPA uses the TKIP protocol whilst WPA2 introduces suport for the CCMP protocol.
WPA2 is more secure than WPA as explained by Terry. You just need to understand the difference between personal (pre shared key) and enterprise versions of both the protocols.
The personal version is where all the users share a secret password that is configured in the access point. In the enterprise version there is a central authentication server and all the users have different sets of credentials that they use in order to access WiFi. So basically there is no single shared password.
Say you have 10 users. In PSK mode all 10 users are using the same passphrase to generate the same key. Therefore, the likelyhood of capturing traffic and analyzing it to find the key is higher with so much traffic, and that key will be good until all 10 users agree to change the passphrase (and therefore the key)
If those same 10 users use their own username and password to log in to an enterprise WiFi network, each user authenticates to the RADIUS server, which then generates a key for their session and hands that to the AP to use with their client.
Therefore the traffic with the same key is only one users traffic, so it is 1/10th as much data to work with, and the key will change the next time the user logs in. The password the user authenticates with may stay the same, but the key that that generates is unique to each session. Combined with good password habits, WPA enterprise is better. Also, individual users access can be revoked at any time without affecting other users.
There are lots of terms being mixed here. WPA2 is an encryption scheme.The enterprise vs. personal refer to the authentication scheme but not the encryption scheme. The authentication scheme basically verifies your identity to the network owner before you are allowed to send encrypted data. From an Encryption view point, WPA2-Enterprise and WPA2-Personal have the same 256-bit Encryption algorithm (i believe it is called AES-CCMP). So the difference between them lies in the authentication scheme. Now, EAP and 802.1x can be thought of as one and the same protocol. They define signalling methods to allow the authentication to happen between (now this is important): the client, the access point and a third entity called the registrar which store the authentication credentials. EAP is used in Personal and Enterprise BUT the key difference is the location and the type of credentials that the registrar requires from the client before agreeing to grant it access to the network. In PERSONAL, it is common for the registrar to reside on the same physical entity as the access point (i.e. wireless router) and the authentication method is usually based on a pre-shared key (e.g. the ones that is pre-programmed with the router when you buy it or the one that the owner of the router would give you when you come to his place). Changing that pre-shared key requires a global update whenever any of the old clients want to access the network again (i.e. you have to tell them that you changed the key and the key is XYZ). In ENTERPRISE the registrar is usually a seperate entity that runs a protocol called RADIUS. It provides more manageability (e.g. pre-shared key for every user, the admin can revoke a key for a particular user, etc..). Now something really important here (from a security view point), the encryption key (i.e. not the authentication) is derived from the pre-shared key, thus it is easier for someone who has the pre-shared authentical KEY in PERSONAL to recreate the encryption key and thus decrypt the data. In addition, PERSONAL allows for other methods to further simplify the issue of entering pre-shared key such as the push-button (push-button on routher and device at the same time and everything happens seamlessly). This method compromised the security if someone was listening on the channel and shown to be easily breakable (now the term easily is relative!!). Such method is not available in Enterprise. Therefore in summary yes Enterprise is more secure but is also more suited for someone who has the knowlege and resources to install and administer a RADIUS server. Good security is acievable over PERSONAL by choosing a strong pre-shared key and disabling the push-button method on the wireless routher.
The Enterprise (RADIUS/EAP/802.1X) mode of WPA or WPA2 provides the following benefits over using the Personal (Pre-Shared Key or PSK) mode of WPA or WPA2:
Though the Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server, there are hosted or cloud services out there.

Veteran actor Sir Patrick Stewart has been cast in a new TV comedy series from "Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane.
The "Star Trek" star is set to play opinionated British newsman Walter Blunt as he attempts to conquer American cable news in "Blunt Talk."
This will not be the first collaboration between Stewart and actor/writer Macfarlane – the Brit has voiced characters on "Family Guy" as well as his other hit animated series "American Dad," in which he plays highly-strung CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Deputy Director Avery Bullock.
EXTRA: Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are best friends and they want everyone to know
He says, "This new character, Walter Blunt, is not at all like Avery, thank God, because this is live action and I am a Knight of the Realm. Blunt is, however, much smarter than Avery and has his own TV show, which has to be better than being Deputy Director of the CIA."
Blunt Talk is slated to premiere on America's Starz network in 2015.

WXIA EXCLUSIVE -- It was an international shocker, a former Atlanta Hawks player and NBA star Dan Roundfield drowned while saving his wife.
They were vacationing with their two young grandchildren this past summer. Now, in an exclusive interview with 11Alive's Brenda Wood, his widow, 'Bernie' speaks for the first time publicly about the details of what happened that day and how she's coping now.
RELATED | Ex-Hawks All-Star Dan Roundfield drowns in Aruba
It was a trip they'd planned for a whole year, to the Caribbean island of Aruba. It was a vacation spot they'd been to 18 times before.
Baby Beach is a man-made lagoon on the southeastern end of the island known for its calm bathtub-like water.
But two days into their dream vacation a nightmare unfolded. Danny was in shallow water and Bernie was on a float.
Bernie says, "The water was calm. I was drifting a little bit further from Danny. Danny said, 'Bernie start paddling towards me'. I said, OK. As I start paddling it's like in that split second the water changed... and when the water changed the water just got rough and I just kept drifting further from him... he came to get me, he was walking to get me... as the wave came up over me... when it went down I didn't see him anymore."
A woman nearby came to help, brought Bernie to shore and then went back into the water to find Danny. They found Danny's body in a reef. The tragedy made international and national news including here in Atlanta.
Danny Roundfield retired in 1988. They built a beautiful life together, settling in Atlanta raising two sons, traveling, spending as much time as possible with their grandkids.
Her pictures from the vacation are still in her camera. She's not sure she'll ever develop them.

The concept of the game is unique and the gameplay is so addicting. Click on the gem in top, bottom, left or right border lines of the playfield to move it to an empty neighboring cell. If a neighboring cell is not empty, the selected gem will be moved together with the neighboring gem. Clear the playfield making groups of 3 or more gems of one color to pass the level. You cannot match the tiles diagonally. The gem with pearl will turn into a gem with golden part, then – into a common gem, and only then will be removed from the playfield.

Enjoy your garden today, weeds and all: you're not underwater.
Alberta is still reeling from the recent "unprecedented" flooding. (If I had a dollar for every time I've heard the word 'unprecedented' in the last week…) Much of High River is unlivable, Calgary's C-Train rails are a mess, parts of Waterton Park are cut off because of washed out roads, and many other communities, including the Siksika Nation, have been ravaged.
As for us: we are damp but our sump pump has remained idle. However, I only have to go one or two degrees of separation (in several directions) to find someone airlifted out of their flooded yard, or unable to get to work, or dealing with a death, or facing a completely destroyed home. It will take years (up to ten, and a billion bucks, according to Alberta Premier Allison Redford) to "fully recover," whatever that means.
Much is being done to help displaced people with food, shelter, hygiene, and even a little entertainment (yay, Nenshi!). I'm glad to say I have two cousins in government in the area who are spearheading relief efforts for the worst-hit communities.
Through all this, I have thought a couple of times about the unlucky gardeners wading through this mess. It's with a little guilt that I even mention it, because I don't mean to minimize the bigger losses some have and will experience. Still, my heart goes out to those dealing with horticultural devastation too. A lot of passion and work can go into a garden, and it's got to be hard to have that washed away. The Calgary Zoo, for instance, has a wonderful botanical garden and I'm curious and a little worried to see if it makes it through, not just the giraffes.
I went digging to see what might be done for the plant kingdom under these circumstances, and found this informative article for those ready to turn attention to their gardens. Also, the Calgary Horticultural Society is planning to organize donations of time, tools, and plants to re-green flooded areas.
While not nearly as important as food, shelter, safety and power, I'm kind of glad this concern is being addressed. I don't know about "fully recovering" from the emotional losses so many have suffered, but burdens can be eased in many ways, one of which is enjoying the beauty nature has to offer.
All in all, I'm proud of how Albertans are pulling together to get through this, and I'm thankful for all the support coming from near and far. I think we'll be back to working, playing –and planting– before we know it.

The New Fascination About Las Vegas Homes for Sale
How you can find ideal Las Vegas homes for sale? If you wish to take a look at this city, you'll find that residential properties share distinct features like how, when and where those properties were acquired. Many buyers do not realize these things when acquiring homes. Learning vital details about the home is essential since foreclosures have more costly rates in Las Vegas than in other cities. Without a doubt, the best type of home is the one that will not be foreclosed anytime later on. To increase the better prospects of purchasing a home, learn the best ways to make a good search, buy responsively and know the perfect time of buying. But when you're particularly considering penthouse and condos, you are better off avoiding the downtown area. Homes are lessened here because of the numerous amenities, amusement and hotels. Most experts are saying that the best time to invest in Las Vegas real estate is now. Multiple residential property and home costs are anticipated to rise as the housing sector continues to recover. The options to acquire residential properties are shorter unlike other regions in the country. The reason is because the local gaming businesses are attracting more investors and capitalists. As a result of that, real estate communities offer many real properties with values that are budget-friendly to home buyers. As widely known, this city has never ending potentials in the field of real property. While several foreclosures are prone to transpire, investors must learn what precisely secures an effective home buying in the vicinity of a first-class city. Buying a residential property is not a simple job because you will be taking on difficulties most of the time. A residential property could have lost its great price and most property owners may owe more for their home than for its value.

The Fundamental Facts Of Dual Diagnosis Help
It is hazardous to combine alcohol and drugs. Prescription narcotics are not the only kinds of medication which can be dangerous whenever coupled with alcohol. Blood pressure medication, prescription sleep aids, and antidepressants are additional drugs that need abstaining from alcohol whilst an individual is in it. A mixed alcohol and acetaminophen, an over-the-counter medication, could cause a greater risk of stomach bleeding as well as liver damage. An alcohol and drug abuse could possibly bring down the person's awareness as well as the ability to perform efficiently. For instance, if an individual drives, operates machinery, or engages in regular home activities, just like walking down the stairs, there could be an increased risk of injury or accident. Mixing drugs and alcohol should be shunned fully, no matter what the drug a person is taking. Individuals who end up unable to avoid mixing drugs and alcohol are advised to visit a referral facility that can help them. The consequences of drug abuse for individuals which are using inhalants could set off numerous breathing and respiratory problems. There are many people who frequently breathe in gasoline, paint, hairspray, as well as other regular items to specifically become high. Those products typically have a very strong odor and also their vapors usually contain a few chemicals. It's very easy for individuals who inhale drugs to get addicted. Each time a person inhales chemicals, that particular substance getting inhaled gets absorbed directly into your blood and also brain, fatty tissues, and the central nervous system. The instant it enters your body, it remains there for a very long time. Moreover, inhalants affect the nerve cells in the individual's brain and spinal cord. Once foreign chemicals begin to accumulate, the nervous system will end up being contaminated and start to malfunction. Long term use of inhalants can lead to a serious heart condition called arrhythmia. When the individuals mix together the abuse of alcohol along with inhaling dangerous substances, there'll be many health problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse.

Where to start? New to Eastmans and this forum, and new to Elk hunting. We've finally decided to do an archery elk hunt and are looking at the fall of 2013, so we have some time to research. We are thinking we are going to focus on Colorado. Montana would also be an option. Although, we aren't use to having things in the woods that want to eat us (grizzlies), for the most part. However, wolves are getting thick up here - we live in Minnesota. Would consider other states but are trying to narrow things down a bit.
We are 45 and 55 years of age in reasonably good shape. Do understand we need to take the physical aspects seriously. But also understand our limitations.
We also don't need to take a trophy. We are looking more for the experience.
Since we are planning on 2013, we should have a preference point when we attempt to draw in 2013, which opens up some options. We have thought about GMU's 20 and 54 in Colorado. Other could be 13, 21, 48, 49. Once again, these are just starting points.
So, some initial general questions I have are:
- How much hunting pressure is there for archery season? We understand we need to get off the beaten path a little, but have also heard stories about their being so many hunters. I would assume this is more the case for muzzy and rifle season. Would be interested in your perspective during the archery season?
- We are thinking we would do a drop camp. Entertained a back country hunt for a while...see age note! However, if hunting pressure wasn't to crazy, we could set up a camp and hike in as needed. Any thoughts or perspectives?
- Would be interested in the type of terrain in those areas. Any insight would be appreciated.
Any other suggestions you have as we start our research journey would be appreciated? We are still trying to figure out the questions to ask, much less find all the answers.

Flames, Scalames & Hot LicksWritten by on October 1, 2001 Contributors: The Primedia Digital Staff, Thaxton Press The Art of Hot Rod Graphics
While some might say, Real hot rods are red and have no fenders, theres a considerable contingent of hot rodders who believe that Real hot rods are powerfully propelled and have flames abundantly displayed on their hoods and fenders. As a growing number of enthusiasts have turned their attention to the traditions that describe our hobby, the subject of flames has never burned brighter. Plus, there has never been a greater profusion of (or reverence for) this graphic automotive art.
R&C first featured Rod Powells flame art on the cover of the August 68 issue, where it graced the exterior of Richard Bass 40 Ford. We also highlighted the Pyro-Technique Artists: AKA Famous Flamers, in Rod & Custom April 98. Regrettably, we had no color pages available to display this very colorful subject. So the July 98 issue was dedicated to Hot N Flamin ridesreaders were treated to a history lesson from Thom Taylor on the origin of flames, which took a look at some work from the most talented West Coast painters of the 50s. More recently, R&C presented Flame Tips From the Pros (May 01), showing a step-by-step how-to approach by Dennis Ricklefs.
We continue to fan the flames this month with a look at some of the flame jobs that have been captured in our viewfinders during the past several years. We also expose more of the graphic guys who light em on fire! There are very few gearheads who havent rendered some fiery drawings in the margins of their notebooks or imagined how their ride would look with a fabulous set of flames crawling over the hood and fenders. Today, flames appear on almost anything that can be painted with one-shottrash cans, refrigerator doors, and even a giant sailfish or two. And the description of torch graphics is a language of its own. There are Trad (traditional) flames, Tribal flames, Seaweed flames, Interlocking and Overlapping flames, the Ohio Look, and Ricklefs Licks. Dedicated flame lovers can recognize favorite pyrotechnic artists by their individual styles. Check out these images of scorched rides that blaze a trail to our collective hot rod consciousness.

Traditional flame treatments employ a white base with yellow toner as the primary color. However, as paint technologies change, techniques are also changing. A recent trend is the use of iridescent color-changing paints on a black base, allowing for a dramatic impact. On the cover of R&C April 2000, Chris and Kathy Wills '40 Ford sedan with Art Himsl flames was a visual standout.Another Art Himsl innovation is the use of a design element that appears three-dimensional due to the highlights, seen here on Andy "The Rodfather" Brizio's purple Deuce highboy. Art used a silver or neutral color originally so as not to compete with the flame colors. He's now experimenting with complementary colors for even greater visual impact.Here's a close-up of the seaweed flames that cover the hood of Sammy Head's '61 Ford F-150. Redondo Joe Railey laid these intricate bright-green flames over a satin gray-green primer. This truck was featured in Sport Truck magazine in the July '01 issue.Steve Sellers' copper-with-green-flames custom shoebox has an ultra wild set of seaweed flames in the Larry Watson tradition. Notice that they're on top of traditional pinstripes.Another unusual set of triple-layer over-and-under flames is found on this purple '32 Ford highboy coupe, owned by Floyd Bowman of Bakersfield, California. The pyro- technic artist was Slim at Kelleys' Kustom Rods & Rides in Bakersfield, California.Bob Cagle's '51 Chevy (featured in R&C February '99) has some Lil' Louie hot licks that are silver edged in a pastel teal. These flames are fairly symmetrical on both sides though the flame licks work their way around the hood louvers.Jimmy Gacchina's '36 Ford roadster and Chuck Keranen's '40 Ford coupe were goin' up in flames on the cover of R&C for July '98. Tom "Itchy" Otis executed the traditional licks over a white base, then added traditional pinstripes to the fenders of Keranen's coupe. This issue included a piece on the origin of flames by designer Thom Taylor that includes early photos of the Von Dutch–torched Earl Bruce gullwing Mercedes. Other photos show early Larry Watson seaweed licks and Dean Jefferies crab-claw flames on his own Mercury convertible.
Here's a very sophisticated design on the yellow '40 pickup owned by Sue Alonzo of Walnut Creek, California. Art Himsl painted the fabulous hot rod truck and designed the Tribal flames that have little hooks and notches in the flame shapes. If you look closely you can also see a shadow flame in light gray floating in the background on the door.Most flamed graphics have a relaxed, free-flowing design, but the lightning-bolt flames on Bill and Cherrill Dunn's yellow Willys have a less relaxed and even a highly excited look, and were designed and painted by Rob Ida of Ida Automotive.Here are two Toms—Tommy the Greek and Tom "Itchy" Otis sit in Otis' traditional black with flames Deuce highboy. Note the way the flames are contained by a pinstriped edge around the front of the grille and the painted louvers. The Toms think flames shouldn't make the rod look like a two-tone paint job.Rod Powell gave this black '32 Tudor sedan the full flame treatment back when it belonged to John Schipp. "There are flames everywhere except on the grille shell—it was too short to work the design on comfortably!" says Powell. The car is now owned by Jim Durham of Cairo, Georgia. The license plate reads HELL ROD.

Formula Drift Might Not SuckWritten by Brandan Gillogly on February 15, 2013 Contributors: Jesse Kiser
In motorsports, drag racing is the 100-meter sprint, NASCAR is middle distance, Le Mans is the marathon, and drifting is gymnastics. You can't argue that it's easy to slide a car sideways, tires blazing, around corners, avoiding obstacles, coming as close as possible to the walls, and dancing in sync with another car doing the same act inches away. The driver must have absolute control over the machine, but the naysayers still counter that it's not the same as a race because it all boils down to judges who score the aesthetics of the performance. You can't remove the subjective part of drifting, and that will always rub some traditional race fans the wrong way. However, like any form of motorsport, the more you know about the particular discipline, the more interesting it becomes. We spent two days with Conrad Grunewald, driver of the Hankook Tires/Chevrolet Performance/Top 1 Oil Camaro, at the final Formula Drift (FormulaD.com) event of 2012 at Irwindale Speedway to learn what drifting is all about. We decided it might not be that bad after all. Here's why.
01] The Little Guys Have a Chance of Winning
Many Formula Drift drivers are very involved with their teams, but Conrad is one of the few drivers who works on every aspect of the program, from building the car to wrenching on the engine to transporting the car to the track and running the team's day-to-day operations. While he does have an engine from Chevrolet Performance and a tire sponsorship from Hankook, he's still what we'd consider a privateer. During practice, he got some help with the engine tune from Holley's Rickey Best, but on race day it was just Conrad and a four-man crew: Richard Kong, Domenic Rotondo, Kyle Schloss, and Gibson Sepko.
02] It's Not Just Imports
If you think Formula Drift is just a bunch of compact, Japanese four-cylinder cars, you're dead wrong. True, there are quite a few Nissans represented—the S13/S14 240/Silvia in particular—and Chevy LS engine swaps are so common in that platform that racers and fans use the term LS13/LS14 to describe them, but Conrad's car is a Camaro, and there are a couple late-model Mustangs, including fan-favorite Vaughn Gitten Jr.'s in black-and-green Monster livery. Samuel Hübinette is a two-time Formula D winner in his Challenger, and Luke Lonberger has a very photogenic red Grand Sport Corvette built by Blu808, the same shop where Conrad's Camaro was built. There's more variety at any given Formula D event than you'll find in many other motorsports. Then there are the drivers. The starting grid at a Formula Drift event can include drivers from the U.S., Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Lithuania, Mexico, Canada, and Korea.
03] It Demands Perfection
Formula Drift seasons are short, with only seven events across the nation each year, and competition is so fierce that the winner has to be all but perfect. Drop two wheels outside of the course, plow into a corner, or spin out, and you get a goose egg on your scorecard. That's hard to recover from.
04] It's About Speed
Although it's not a race, Formula Drift puts a big emphasis on speed. Just like each racetrack is different, each drift event features a different course—sometimes flat, sometimes banked. Judges spend time watching competitors practice, and radar guns at two places on the course measure speed. Based on the practice runs, judges set a minimum entry speed. If a competitor fails to hit that speed, he receives a 0 for that portion of his score.
05] They're Drag Race Cars That Go Sideways
As Conrad tells us, "A common misconception in drifting is that you set the car up really loose and you don't have a lot of grip so you can spin the tires, but it's the exact opposite. There are pictures of my car pulling the front tires off the ground because I have so much bite and it squats the rear. Even though I've got 700 hp out of the LS7, I still can't run maximum grip. There's still more grip I could dial into my car. The problem is, on tracks like this, I don't have the power to spin the tires on the bank. If I dial in more grip, it will start to understeer at max throttle. The two Mustangs that are in First and Third have Roush Yates 410-cube motors with a lot of tech from FR9, which is the NASCAR motor. They dyno'd 960 hp at the flywheel. They have almost no drivetrain loss, and they rev to 9,000 rpm. They aren't limited as much as I am.
06] Anything Goes
We've already told you about the engine swaps, but power-adders are also on the table. This year's champion, Daigo Saito, has nitrous on his turbo Supra engine, and Tony Brakohiapa's Coyote-powered Mustang uses a Vortec YS1 centrifugal supercharger. Those two engines are good for more than 1,100 and 800 hp, respectively. Conrad is currently building a second drift car from a salvaged fifth-gen Camaro that should be lighter than his current car, and he feels that his next step in upping the performance is aero.
"Smoke is really simple, it's just friction. The more friction you have the more heat you create. The more the tire melts, the more smoke you get. With mine, I have a lot of contact patch, so I have a big surface area, I get a lot of wheel speed, and the car pushes down really hard because it's heavy, so it creates a lot of smoke. I can get more smoke if I went up on tire pressure, because it creates more heat because, all of a sudden, my contact patch is smaller. But the aero, especially at tracks like this where you're going in 70–80 mph in the banks, if you've got a big wing on the back, it really pushes down on those rear tires. It makes a huge difference."
A traditional wing exerts downforce when the air moves from the front of the car to the rear. Conrad shared with us an idea he has to create more downforce on a car that spends a lot of its time going sideways. Maybe it will debut with his next car.
Drifting Around
A set of tires lasts between two and four runs. Some teams drill holes in the sidewalls so the tires can't be reused, then give them away as souvenirs.
Several wall-mounted clipping points use VLED sensors that light up when a car gets within 6 inches.
Conrad's advice to aspiring drift drivers: Don't expect to set the world on fire your first time out. It takes years of practice to get to the top of professional drifting, so keep at it.
What it's like inside
As practice was winding down at Irwindale Speedway in California and Conrad was at the starting grid, I had my opportunity to experience drifting firsthand, but I had to hurry. I strapped myself into the passenger seat of the Camaro and had him hold onto my digital camera. By the time I got the five-point harness ready, we were at the front of the grid, waiting for another car to finish its smoky practice so we could have the track to ourselves. After I took possession of my camera, I tried holding it far enough away from Conrad to get an action photo while he was driving, bracing it on my knee and the rollcage with my hand for the long exposure that was necessary inside the dark cabin of his Camaro. "It's not gonna work." Conrad replied through his helmet. He's seen a lot of photographers try to hold a camera, and he already knew better. I tried anyway.
First gear in Conrad's Camaro is good for about 70 mph and what felt like a full g of acceleration as we hit the banked lefthand turn at Irwindale. A turn of the wheel and a grab of the handbrake later, and we were pivoted around in a controlled drift, with Conrad countersteering to the right, and a plume of smoke trailing behind us as the COPO LS7 roared well past 6,000 rpm. As Conrad used very quick, very precise applications of the steering, brake, and throttle to pivot the car around turn, I attempted to get some action shots. The run was over before I could even process that we'd nearly scraped the quarter-panel off on a concrete barrier at 50 mph, which is exactly how it was supposed to go. The tire smoke and seemingly constant yawing had left my head spinning, and this was just practice. In competition, it's just as hectic except that there's another car just inches away throwing up a smoke screen.
Conrad was right—my camera didn't stand a chance.

This cute Brazilian honey had an ass to die for. The thing i liked most about her was those smoking tan lines. That dark brown skin next to g-sting tan lines framing that perfect pussy was to die for. Dennis just had to get this one spread eagle and ready for some long, donkey cock action. I dont think she knew what she was in for when she agreed to get it on with him.

Country star Kenny Chesney is donating the proceeds from his new sunglasses line to an ocean conservation organization.
The "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" hitmaker teamed up with executives at the Costa brand earlier this year to launch his own eyewear collection, and he's handing over a share of the profits to aid the Coastal Conservation Association.
His contributions will help to cover the costs to build two man-made reefs and place them in St. John's River in Jacksonville, Fla., to create a fish habitat.
The singer says, "The ecological balance is very delicate, especially in Florida, so I am honored to help them achieve this goal."

|City Airport planning begins
|Written by Chris Lee
Although it wasn't part of the agenda for the July 7 city council meeting, council members spent the following day working on airport planning.
Council members were asked by City Supt. Mark Brown to attend two meetings with Armstrong Consultants Inc. on Wednesday, July 8.
The meetings were for planning purposes regarding the airport. The city hired the group to look into planning of expansion, improvement and layout of the Holyoke Municipal Airport. The company helps facilitate and guide airports with planning.
Council members, commissioners and other city officials met with Dennis Corsi and Daniel Spencer of Armstrong Consultants Inc. prior to the public meeting July 8.
Corsi and Spencer presented multiple alternative plans and discussion was welcomed from all those present. The plans gave the city multiple ideas for layout possibilities.
After the two-hour meeting, council members along with Corsi and Spencer had an idea of what to present to the public. Landowners and farmers around the airport were invited to sit in and voice their opinions.
The main goal for the city is to ease congestion on the tarmac when larger planes fly in. Agricultural operations such as Steggs Aerial Spraying and Cornhusker Ag need to be able to get their planes on and off the runway without experiencing congestion.
Expansion of an apron for parking is a top priority for the airport. Brown said it came down to selecting reasonable approaches.
"What do we really need or really want to see out there (at the airport)," Brown said. "And that was what their (Corsi and Spencer) whole objective was."
Peckham takes oath
J.C. Peckham became the newest member of Holyoke City Council after taking the oath of office July 7.
Karla Pargas was present to talk with the board about the 4th of July free swim day. New rules were implemented this year regarding ages and guardians. Instead of the four hours like last year, the event was shortened to two hours and children ages 8 and under had to be with an adult or person over 18 years of age.
Pargas said they saw 71 total people take part in the free swim with 59 of those being children and 12 were adults. 143 people took part in last year's free swim.
"It worked very well," Pargas said. "I liked the two hours instead of the four."
During Brown's City Supt. report he mentioned they didn't have any problems during application of the seal coat application.
"Seal coat went off really well," Brown said.
Police Chief reports
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer said he had a tree limb removed on S. Belford Ave. that was hanging over/into the street and presenting a public safety issue.
He also mentioned Holyoke Police Dept. is investigating a couple of forgery issues as well as two motor vehicle thefts.
City code enforcement officer Dawn Worley said she is glad to see progress moving forward regarding city ordinances. She reported she is beginning to see compliance from residents.
She also reported someone approached her about a problem with cats in town. Holyoke does not have an ordinance regarding stray cats, but many have been seen in and around town.
"There is a huge population in town," she said. "Some are looking pretty sickly."
Committee reports
The police committee met after the June 16 meeting to discuss questions concerning code enforcement. Council members, during last week's meeting discussed questions concerning Worley and whether or not to allow her to enforce additional codes brought to the board's attention.
Councilman Barry Winckler said they would not like to have Worley add additional codes to her workload unless they present a public safety issue.
The board, along with Biersdorfer and Worley agree the position is moving ahead smoothly as planned.
"It's a work in progress," Worley said. "It's something that's never been tackled and managed. I think with Al (Wall) and judge (Dave) Colver we're kind of laying a foundation of groundwork and it's requiring a lot of leg work."

PCC in the News
News: PCC Names Center for the Arts Recital Hall after Robert and Adrienne Westerbeck; Westerbeck Trust Donates $852,270 to PCC
The Pasadena City College Foundation is proud to announce the naming of the Robert and Adrienne Westerbeck Recital Hall in the new PCC Center for the Arts. The naming and a donation from the Westerbeck Trust to PCC in the amount of $852,270 were commemorated at a reception at the college on Dec. 12.
PCC also awarded the first scholarship to students from the Robert Westerbeck Scholarship Endowment for the Arts during the event.
The story of Westerbeck and his wife, Adrienne, is rooted in the PCC tradition of a fervent belief in education as the way to realize the American Dream. Westerbeck, who died in 2006, often credited his success to the education he received at PCC. Adrienne, who died in 2010 at the age of 103, taught organ and piano at PCC until her retirement in 1971.

Olympic hurdler inspiring Malverne runners
1 2 3 Next page >
There are millions of people who run and jump every day in the United States — some for exercise, others for fun and even a few to catch the bus. But of those people, it would be tough to find someone who could run and jump better than Lakeview native Derrick Adkins.
In 1996, Adkins, who is now 42 and a current Lakeview resident, ran and jumped his way to immortality in the world of track and field as he took home the gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles at the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. Adkins finished the race in just 47.54 seconds. Sixteen years later, his life still revolves around running.
Since 2005, Adkins has raced in the annual Malverne Run For Education 5K. He said he doesn't race to win, but to be a part of the community. "A lot of people seem to be happy to see me, and want to shake my hand," he said. "I think it boosts morale for the event, and it's a fun day to come out and help where I can."

(WXIA) -- It's a new month, the weather has changed, and we are moving forward to an upcoming election. Things are constantly changing, but one thing that is staying the same is the high unemployment rate! Every week the Help Desk wants to let you know of new job opportunities.
RELATED | November Help Desk job resource page
Just today one of the largest constructions projects opened up in Bartow County, it will be the LakePoint Sporting Community & Town Center. Sitting on 1,200 acres of land, LakePoint will feature state-of-the-art venues for more than 20 different sports with hopes of promoting the physical well-being of the youth and bringing a positive effect on the community. It is projected to produce up to 26,000 jobs when it is fully built, starting with constructions jobs as soon as mid 2013.

|WP school board holds retreat to make goals, plan budget
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 29 January 2014 19:05
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
Wauneta-Palisade school board members and administration met last Thursday, Jan. 23 at the Wauneta Senior Center for a board retreat. The day included goal setting and budget planning for the next school year.
Before the planning began Superintendent Randy Geier and Elementary Principal Roger Reikofski presented each board member with a WP coffee cup in honor of school board appreciation week.
Reikofski also let the school board know of an upcoming Nebraska Department of Education visit to the WP preschool done every few years to evaluate the program.
He told board members a representative from NDE would be making a visit to observe the preschool and make suggestions for improvement, if needed. Reikofski said, "NDE is a resource and it's always good to get an outside opinion on what we're doing."
School board members approached their planning and goal setting activities by looking at issues presented by each of the board's committees.
Building and Grounds
Bill Bischoff provided the board with an overview of utility expenses to start off his Building and Grounds committee report. The analysis included a price breakdown of expenses at each of the district's buildings including, Wauneta Attendance Center, ag shop, bus barn, Scout house, Palisade Attendance Center and bus barn.
Due to the rising cost of propane Bischoff suggested to the board that wrestling practice be moved from the Scout house to the Palisade Attendance Center. He also suggested moving classes currently held in the ag shop to the main building of the Wauneta Attendance Center.
Board members discussed how classes could be moved from the ag shop and the building could then be used as a bus barn, while allowing space for part of the building to be used for ag labs as needed. They felt the change would greatly lesson the fuel expenses for the district.
Other building and grounds issues discussed included a report on school walk throughs done at both attendance centers and the need for a safer bus drop off in Palisade.
School board members plan to discuss the ideas further at the February regular board meeting.
The transportation committee reported on their evaluation of the district's buses. They stated that each bus is currently needed, with only one to spare in case of an emergency.
Committee members said they had asked the Director of Transportation, Kenny Lawless, to review the bus routes for the school to look for more efficient routes that could offer students less time on the bus as well as cost savings. Board members made a goal to revise the routes by next year.
The curriculum committee reported several possible changes to the districts' offered curriculum. They noted that there is a requirement to provide economics classes, which are not currently offered at WP. Allison Sandman also noted that the school does not currently offer students digital citizenship classes, which teaches students how to be responsible online citizens. She referred to online curriculum resources from commonsensemedia.org. Board members discussed how the cyber bullying seminar students attended at Hitchcock County was a good investment, but how the opportunity would not exist each year, thus making it important to offer some sort of online citizenship training within WP's curriculum.
The discussion led to a discussion for the need of having a technology committee for the board. Board members agreed on the need and made plans to form a technology committee and set goals and parameters for the committee by next year. Reikofski asked board members to be cognisant of families who may not have internet service at home as the board moves forward with technology plans. He said as the board moves forward with technology, "We don't want to leave them behind."
The issue of academic eligibility for WP athletes was also brought up during the curriculum committee's report. Board members discussed how the current system of academic eligibility for sports is set up as a punishment system for athletes, while there is no punishment for non athletes who are failing a class.
Board members are interested in revising the policy to be more comprehensive and include more equal treatment for athletes and non athletes. Geier did note that a study hall was established in September for students who are failing a core class.
The school board also discussed the elementary curriculum at the board retreat. Reikofski was asked for his opinion of the elementary curriculum and stated there are a lot of very good things happening in the WP elementary grades, but they could do a better job of aligning the curriculum.
He said this is an issue at many small schools. He said the teachers have begun meeting already to move towards a more aligned curriculum, starting with homework expectations. The school will be sending a survey to parents next month to ascertain the amount of time parents see students spending on homework.
Budget, negotiations and personnel
School board members started the discussion on budget and negotiations by mentioning that the previous conversations already had an impact on budget. They feel that any budget cuts will probably have to mean cutting staff.
They mentioned that the teachers' union's request for a $500 raise to the base salary would add $85,000 to the 2014-2015 budget. If the board approves the raise it would go into effect in September.
Although all board members seemed to feel the teachers "more than deserve" the raise, they are concerned about how to fund the raise. Board members stated, "We're going to have to look long and hard. It's going to have to cut the number of paychecks we offer."
Board members discussed streamlining teachers and mentioned that they currently have more than one teacher endorsed in social studies and physical education. They asked Geier to look at the current staff to see if there is a way to make up for money lost last year, roughly $200,000. Jon Anderjaska stated the board needs to get back to having three months of expenses in the school's general account.
Board members and administrators commented that personnel committee considerations are directly tied to the budget. Geier stated, "I think there's an opportunity, we've already lowered payroll by eight." It was noted the eight positions making up the reduction in payroll consisted of para educators and support staff positions that had not been filled after vacancy.
Geier said he would bring some recommendations to the board at the February meeting. He added, "There are tough decisions we have to make, it is mind boggling."
The board also discussed that WP is currently paying more for food than other neighboring districts. They also want to review transportation for optioned students to see if there are ways to cut costs.
Other budget discussions included looking at if two hours of junior high PE was necessary and a discussion of costs associated with dual credit classes.
Reikofski also asked the board to consider rearranging classrooms so that K-6 would meet in Palisade.
Board members also discussed a desire to know more about students who are optioning in or out of the district.
Board members set a goal of having some financial options prepared for the board to review and possibly act on at the February meeting. The February meeting is currently scheduled for 5 p.m. MT/6 p.m. CT on Monday, Feb. 10 at the Wauneta Attendance Center. School board meetings are open to the public.

The first issuance of an enacted law passed by the United States Congress is a slip law. This pamphlet contains the text of a single act and is individually paginated. At the end of each legislative session, the slip laws are consolidated and arranged chronologically into a permanent set of bound volumes called session laws. Codes are the subject arrangement of session laws. Annotated codes provide citations to law reviews, legal encyclopedias and other reference sources as well as abstracts of cases decided on that point of law.
The links on this page are to free websites, to information about books available in the Ross-Blakley Law Library, and to commercial databases available on Law Library computers. Call numbers link to library catalog records, which provide information about location, availability, and currency of each item in the Ross-Blakley Law Library.
WestlawNext and Lexis Advance links will take you to the specified database if you have a password. These links work better if you are already logged in. The College of Law provides WestlawNext and Lexis Advance passwords to its law faculty, staff, and students. Links to commercial databases and other pages outside the Law Library's web site will open in a new tab or window.
Each enacted law is assigned a public law number or a private law number. Public laws are intended to be for wide application whereas private laws are intended for individuals or small groups of people. Private laws and public laws have their own numbering. Few private laws are passed during a legislative session.
The heading of a slip law contains the public law number, the date it was approved and the session law cite. Below that is the text of the enacted law. Marginal notes provide the bill number that introduced the law, the date of approval, the name of the act, and the United States Code citation. Also in the margins are headings that direct to specific points in the law. At the end of the slip law is a brief legislative history. It provides references to House and Senate reports as well as Congressional debates.
Slip laws are slow to appear and researchers often use privately published resources to obtain current and timely information on recently enacted legislation.
Location: AE 2.110
Citation: P.L. 106-101 OR Private Law 105-10
The first number designates in which Congress the law was enacted. The second number represents the chronological sequence of enactment by Congress.
The United States Statutes at Large is an official publication of the United States and is the permanent bound collection of slip laws. It is issued at the end of each legislative session. The Statutes at Large is published slowly and there is a lag time of two to three years from the end of the legislative session to the time that they are published.
Currently, session laws are the authoritative binding text of federal law or positive law of legislation. However, Congress is currently engaged in a project to enact each title of the Code as positive law. For more information, please refer to the preface in the 2000 edition of the United States Code (page vii).
Although publication did not begin until 1846, the Statutes at Large retrospectively covers public and private laws enacted since 1789 and treaties since 1778. Until 1951, ratified treaties were included in the Statutes at Large. This was discontinued when the government began publishing U.S. Treaties and Other International Agreements (Gov. Docs. S 9.12:). Ratified treaties now appear in this separate publication.
Since 1938, each volume of Statutes at Large contains laws enacted during a legislative session. Before that, several legislative sessions had been combined into one volume. Statutes at Large is arranged with the text of the public laws first, followed by private laws, concurrent resolutions and proclamations. The layout for the text of the enacted laws is the same as discussed in the above slip laws section. One exception is bill numbers, which did not appear in Statutes at Large until 1904. Bill numbers for these years can be located in the following title, Legislative Reference Checklist: The Key to Legislative Histories from 1789-1903 (KF49 .I43 1982 ).
Citation: [volume number] Stat. [page number]
Ex. 114 STAT. 1055
The United States Code is a subject or topical arrangement of all public laws in effect at the time of printing. The code only contains the permanent laws that are in force at the time of publication and removes repealed laws and revised laws that have been amended by Congress.
The United States Code is the official federal code and is published by the United States Government. The current format for the Code was established in 1926. It has 52 titles. Each title is divided into chapters and further subdivided into sections. A new edition is reissued every six years and is updated annually with cumulative bound supplements. The United States Code is published slowly and can be from eight months to four years out of date.
The United States Code does not reflect judicial decision-making. If a court declared a statute unconstitutional, no indication of this would appear until the legislature either amended or repealed the statute.
At the end of each section of the code is historical information on the statute. It states when the law went into effect and any amendments made to the act since then. It gives the date of enactment and provides references to the Statutes at Large cite and the public law number, which enables the user to locate the original text and to locate any legislative history materials relating to the enactment. Codification and amendment sections follow providing information about the statute.
Besides enacted legislation, the 1st volumes of the United States Code also contains:
Location: Law Core
Citation: [Title] U.S.C. § [section #] (year)
Ex. 5 U.S.C. § 4301 (2000)
Annotated codes are published by private publishers and are unofficial federal codes. Annotated codes have all of the same features of the U.S. Code, but also provide annotations to statutes and are updated more frequently. The United States Code Service (USCS) and United States Code Annotated (USCA) are two annotated codes.
The USCS and USCA maintain the same title and section numbering found in the U.S. Code. However, the USCS follows more closely the context and language used in the Statutes at Large (using notes for clarification), while the USCA follows the language of the U.S. Code more closely.
USCS and USCA provide annotations to supplement the statute. They provide historical notes, which can be used to research the language of the statute as it was enacted and its amendments. The notes give the date of enactment, the public law number, and the Statutes at Large cite. There are also brief comments about amendments, or revisions made to the statute.
If there is a complimentary Code of Federal Regulations section, it will be included in the annotations as well as any cross-references to other USCS or USCA citations. A research guide follows providing references to treatises, the American Law Reports (ALR), law reviews and legal encyclopedias. The USCS cites to the legal encyclopedia, American Jurisprudence 2d and USCA cites to Corpus Juris Secundum.
A Notes and Decisions section follows which contains brief abstracts of cases discussing the particular statute. The USCS includes judicial and administrative decisions, while USCA contains judicial decisions only. USCA is more comprehensive in the judicial decisions it includes. The USCS does not include all decisions on the statute; it excludes those that are obsolete or repetitive.
USCS and USCA are updated more frequently than the U.S. Code. Pocket parts and pamphlets are issued yearly to update the main volume. Throughout the year, advance annotation supplements are issued containing the most current annotations. Monthly, advance legislative services are published which has the text of recently enacted laws, executive documents, court rules, and selected regulations with tables indicating which code sections have been affected by recent legislative action.
Besides enacted legislation and annotations, the USCS and USCA also include:
The United States Code in a searchable online format.
Lexis Advance (Available to law faculty and law students only)
USCS, constitution, rules
WestlawNext (Available to law faculty and law students only)
United States Code (not annotated)
United States Code Annotated
United States Code Annotated historical (1990–previous year)
United States public laws (current)
