Machete Kills Again In Space Is Actually Happening
If you saw Machete Kills in theaters, then you probably also saw that hilariously ridiculous trailer for something called Machete Kills Again in Space. At the time, we thought that was all we were going to get of the supposed third installment of the Danny Trejo-led franchise, but the man himself has confirmed that this is in fact in the works.

Gravitys Friday Box Office Should Propel It To Another Record Weekend
Last weekend, Alfonso Cuarons Gravity exploded out of the gate en route to a $55 million weekend for the record books.

One of the most surprising news items of this week was that Robert Rodriguez had secured financing for Machete Kills, his sequel to the summer 2010 grindhouse feature Machete.

Machete Sequel Gets Financing, Will Start Production In April
At the end of Machete, the Grindhouse follow-up from director Robert Rodriguez, the filmmaker made a pretty lofty promise. The credits sequence told audiences that they could expect two sequels to the film called Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again. The reason I call it a lofty promise is because Grindhouse was fairly notorious for underperforming at the box office, as people didn't seem super excited to bring back the format.

(MILITARY TIMES) -- Army Capt. Will Swenson and Marine Cpl. Dakota Meyer fought side-by-side in a vicious 2009 battle in Afghanistan, working together to recover the bodies of four U.S. service members who were slain on the battlefield and stripped of their weapons and armor.
Both men have been recognized by the military for their heroism. As a sergeant, Meyer became in 2011 the first living Marine in 38 years to receive the Medal of Honor, recognized for braving enemy fire repeatedly to save service members trapped in a hail of gunfire. Swenson will receive the nation's top valor award Tuesday in a White House ceremony, following a long delay and Meyer lobbying publicly on the Army officer's behalf.
But a rift between the two war heroes exists, according to a front-page Washington Post story published Sunday. Swenson "remains skeptical of Meyer and the publicity he has sought," and "engaged in a lengthy and bitter dispute with the military over the narrative of one of the Afghan war's most notorious firefights." The Army officer, who left active duty in 2011, pushed the service to produce a website outlining the battle, and told the Post it "is not going to mutually support other stories" - namely, Meyer's.
"Are you familiar with Pyrrhic victories?" Swenson, 34, told the Post, using a term that originated in Greek history to describe a victory that is so costly, it is tantamount to a loss. "That's what I specialize in."
Three Marines and a Navy corpsman were killed in the battle, which began around dawn Sept. 8, 2009, when somewhere between 60 and 100 insurgents launched a vicious U-shaped ambush on a patrol that included U.S. Marines and soldiers and the Afghan army and police units they were training. Swenson's senior enlisted adviser on trip, Sgt 1st Class Kenneth Westbrook, sustained gunshot wounds and died about a month later.
The ambush's effects were amplified by gaffes by officers in a nearby tactical operations center, a military investigation later found. They repeatedly denied troops on the ground fire support and timely air support and failed to convey the urgency of the situation to high levels of command, according to military documents obtained by Marine Corps Times. Two officers later received letters of reprimand, officials said.
Seemingly at the heart of the disagreement between Meyer and Swenson is a 2011 narrative summary of the battle produced by the Marine Corps Division of Public Affairs. It credits Meyer, now 25, with saving 13 U.S. service members and 23 Afghan forces during the fierce firefight while making five trips into the Ganjgal Valley, in Kunar province, under heavy enemy fire. It was widely used by the media in coverage of Meyer's award.
The accuracy of the narrative was first questioned in late 2011 in a McClatchy Newspapers investigative report. It was written by Jonathan Landay, a journalist who was embedded with U.S. forces that day and witnessed the first 90 minutes of a six-hour battle. Landay alleged that while Meyer deserved the Medal of Honor, aspects of the Corps' account of events were "untrue, unsubstantiated or exaggerated." Among other details, his story pointed out that only 11 U.S. service members actually were in the valley that day, four of whom died. Others were posted farther away, but faced less danger and did not need to be rescued.
The Corps' narrative summary of the battle was compiled by a small team of Marines, led by Col. Chris Hughes, who oversaw much of the Corps' public affairs effort to support Meyer in the weeks leading up to his September 2011 ceremony at the White House. Marine officials have acknowledged the summary wasn't vetted as carefully as Meyer's award citation, but nevertheless stood by the its accuracy.
Killed in the battle were Gunnery Sgt. Edwin Johnson, 31; Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, 30; 1st Lt. Michael Johnson, 25; and Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class James Layton, 22. All were members of Meyer's unit, Marine Embedded Training Team 2-8, out of Okinawa, Japan. About a dozen Afghan soldiers also were killed during the battle, and Westbrook died the following month at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington due to complications from a blood transfusion.
Meyer responds
Meyer declined to comment Sunday on many aspects of the Post's story, but pointed out he repeatedly lobbied for the captain to receive the Medal of Honor. He published a book, "Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War," with author Bing West last year that outlined the battle and again questioned why Swenson had not received the award already.
"It has never been about me. I do not deserve the Medal of the Honor, and I've said that all along," Meyer said in a phone interview. Of Swenson, he added: "I hope he finds peace, and if he ever needs anything he can call me."
Meyer's book says he sent a letter to the White House shortly after receiving the Medal of Honor urging officials there to take a longer look at Swenson's heroism. The captain, according to Meyer's letter, "was the centerpiece for command and control in a raging firefight that never died down."
"Swenson controlled all the helos. He picked out targets and kept situational awareness, radioing cardinal directions and distances," Meyer's letter said. "Not everyone can do that when bullets are continuously hitting the side of your truck. Swenson was not the senior commander; he just took over and everyone deferred to him. To the extent that anyone was in charge on the chaotic battlefield over the course of six or seven hours, it was Captain Will Swenson."
Meyer's book points out that Combined Joint Task Force 82, commanded by then-Army Maj. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, was charged with handling Swenson's Medal of Honor packet while the investigations were ongoing in 2009. The packet "had vanished into thin air, forgotten by everybody in the chain of command," the book said. It suggests Swenson symbolizes Ganjgal and the battle "conveyed the wrong message: failure to support advisors, failure to provide artillery support, failure to deliver timely air support, et cetera."
Marine Gen. John Allen, then the top commander in Afghanistan, took an interest in the case in summer 2011 and eventually endorsed Swenson's packet. The White House announced last month that Swenson would receive the Medal of Honor.
Meyer's book credited Swenson as a "great help and careful reader." However, he acknowledged in an interview last year that they rarely spoke.
"The thing is, most of these people I didn't know before the battle," he told Marine Corps Times. "So now after, it's like, the battle brings you close, but it's not like we knew each other before, you know?"
Meyer told Marine Corps Times last year that he feels like has "antagonists" who have questioned his actions on the battlefield, and acknowledged Landay is an example.
"The way I look at it is him writing on me - good, bad, whatever he wants to write - that is a freedom that all the guys in Ganjgal died for that day. The sacrifices they paid," Meyer said. "If he wants to use what those guys sacrificed so much for to write negative articles, and that's how he wants to use his freedom, do it."
Landay has stood by his reporting. He sat with Swenson this April at Fort Benning, Ga., as the Army posthumously awarded Westbrook the Silver Star, the nation's third highest award in recognizing combat valor. In the Post article, Landay called Swenson "one of the most upstanding and moral men I have met in my life."
Mixed feelings
Swenson has kept a low profile since the battle. In fact, an Army official said last week that while he had previously agreed to do interviews ahead of his ceremony, he changed his mind. An interview scheduled Thursday with this reporter was canceled as a result.
The Gold Star families of those lost in the battle had mixed feelings about the Post's story. Many of them were invited to attend Swenson's ceremony, something they were not allowed to do when Meyer received the Medal of Honor two years ago.
Charlene Westbrook, who maintains a close relationship with Swenson, said she was glad to see Swenson air his feelings publicly.
"The truth is finally coming out," she told Marine Corps Times. "There's no inflation or dramatization in what [Swenson] said."
But two other Gold Star family members from the battle expressed sadness Sunday at perceived attacks on Meyer. Susan Price, Kenefick's mother, said she speaks to Meyer on the phone occasionally, and was frustrated to see the same questions raised about Meyer's heroism again. Regardless of the number of people he pulled from the kill zone, she said, it is undisputed he deserves the Medal of Honor.
"Give this kid a break," she said. "The little specifics don't matter to us, the people who lost our children that day. What Dakota did was a gift."
Brent Layton, the fallen corpsman's father, said he is traveling to Washington to honor Swenson. He doesn't understand the criticism of Meyer, however.
"I'm standing in for James," he said of his son. "It's not a time to be bad-mouthing anyone."

Ford F-100 Western NatsWritten by on March 1, 2008 Contributors: Dakota Wentz The 25th Annual
Who could have known way back in 1968 when George Dietz placed an ad in the Pennysaver to stir interest in starting up a '53-56 F-100 club that one year short of the club's 40th anniversary they would be hosting the largest all-Ford truck event on the West Coast. Legend has it when the advertisement to form Pickups Limited originally ran in the Pennysaver that, in addition to the core group of Effie owners who joined, there were a handful of swinger respondents who mistook the truck club for a dating club.
To help celebrate the occasion, Pat Ford, promoter of the F-100 Supernationals, and So Cal Pickup's Jack Ries attended, along with longtime Effie fanatic Steve Stillwell. As a part of the quarter-century milestone celebration the day before, the event was held at Featherly Park in Anaheim, California. A cruise was taken down to Huntington Beach, California, to search for descendants of the swinger's club ... ah, just kidding.
For more information about next year's event, and Pickup Limited's 40th, log onto www.pickupslimited.com.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Shane Doan scored the game-winner with 58.9
seconds to play in overtime to give the Phoenix Coyotes a 3-2 win over the
Colorado Avalanche.
Greg Zanon had the puck behind his own net and tried to wrap it around the
left boards with a backhand. However, the puck hit one of the referee's and
came to the low left circle where Kyle Chipchura centered it for Doan, who
snapped a wrister into the right corner for the win.
Doan finished the game with two goals and an assist while Oliver Ekman-Larsson
had the other goal for the Coyotes, who have won four of their last five
games. Mike Smith made 41 stops in the win.

The "real" players normally get the mini trophy the day of the victory. I guess that's what happened for Feli Ferrer, Nando etc. (But actually i've seen no pix)
I wonder if Rafa will ever snap and tell the reporters .. "you bite it" when they ask for that photo opportunity. I'm sure he's tired of doing it by now, especially with every trophy he wins.ReplyDelete
Then again, I'm sure the biting invokes certain images for his more hard core fans.
- johanneJanuary 21, 2009 at 9:55 AM
DAMN! That polo on any other guy would just be like, eh whatever. But Rafa makes it SO SEXY! And what looks to be freshly showered, rumpled hair is making me weak in the knees. This obsession is becoming debilitating. TOTALLY WORTH IT! :DReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 21, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Pamela: I think Rafa is the one who insists on doing the bite; I don't think anyone asks him to do it. He talks about it as his trademark. I love it. And yes, as a Rafanatic, I imagine the trophy is my neck. And other bits. LOLReplyDelete
I live for those bites.
On the trophies, too.
natch: "You are falling into a deep, deep sleep. No worries - Rafa will be here when you wake up, on his back La Monf-style. It's his fave postiion so he says. You are getting sleepy, sleepy, slee..."ReplyDelete
sam: Exactly, no pics of them getting these mini trophies so I guess we can all assume they got them but no one cared to photograph it b/c, frankly, Rafa wasn't there? Sucks to be a non-Rafa tennis balling Spaniard.
Nicolas was smart to latch on, I say.
pamela: If he said "You bite it" then it would get quoted, be in the media, and all havoc would break loose. He would incite near hysteria and the Rafanatics might take him at his word. His life, as he knows it, could be over. Just sayin'...

can we please take a break from the endless pictures of that homely spaniard? enough already, he isn't that interesting.ReplyDelete

oh Rafa, you beautiful thing. Stop being so damn sexy.ReplyDelete
Btw why wasn't Robredo there?

homely? seriously? keep the Rafa pics coming!ReplyDelete
The team that played the last tie got their trophies at the final, during the presentation ceremony. I sawed it on TV i did... ;) Even Granollers, who didn't actually play in a single tie (great support from the bench though...). The others who played for the team during the year weren't there, and thus Rafa, Almagro, Robredo (?) etc must've just gotten them (first ITF event since the final...)ReplyDelete
Thanks for that info, PP. BTW, your name...BWHA!!! It reminds me of a little thing I teach the kids of all my friends, just as they're about to go for a loooooooooooong car ride:ReplyDelete
Say this three times fast. "One smart fellow, he felt smart."
I'm joining you guys in Rafa Trance.ReplyDelete
Oh and that third picture... the wet hair, the shirt... it's proof he can wear anything and make it look like the hottest look ever!!
And LOL @ the fact the they actually got a trophy, too.
As for Anon 1:27: Seriously, you've seemed to have entered the WRONG place here. "He's not that interesting." LMAO, you made my day!
WHY ISN'T HE IN MY BED!?ReplyDelete
ok sorry, just had to get that out...
aw, yummy little davis cup. :)
I'd love to order all the Rafanatics a mini-replica of something else.ReplyDelete
"Here's the actual size, and here's you to-go size. Enjoy, but don't break it. It's a special, limited-edition replica that can't be reproduced. Or wait, you can't reproduce using it. Shite, now I'm confused."
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD you're the best RichReplyDelete
First, you bug my therapy sessions. Now you have a camera in my house??? Should I have put make-up on first?
Forgot AGAIN to say I bet that dude in the middle (mmmmm...Rafamiddle...) has both hands on Rafa's ass. Rich, note Rafa is smiling. Could be good news for you...;)ReplyDelete
Totally natch! It's like he's thinking: "Guy hand on my ass - alright. But let's exchange the old dude with some, let's say, sexy lil tennis blogger..."ReplyDelete

I absolutely adore this sensory box! I love the effect the black eyed peas gives!! Thanks for sharing this will be used next year at the beginning of the year when I do my unit!

I've been really excited to create a sensory box for my son -- but I'm struggling over where I'll keep it when we're not using it. I'd like to use one about the same size as yours. Do you have any suggestions for me?

@ Alicia,
I keep two or three boxes going at a time in separate underbed style storage boxes. Some friends of mine keep them under beds, sofas, or buffets/tv hutches in family rooms. We keep ours stacked on a bottom shelf of a book case in our playroom. If they're filled with heavier stuff like pea gravel, a lot of rice, or fish tank gravel I have to help the girls get them on and off the shelves. I know some folks who keep a box or two going in their garage (with things like rice/oatmeal/ or sand). We have two boxes, one with oatmeal and one with moon sand that I can just drag out onto our driveway/patio on a warm sunny day, or even out into the grass. Then it doesn't matter if there are spills and clean up is a breeze!
Hope this helps!

I hope he accidently runs into that turd who goes to ISU that started that thread on HN.
If you want to be an Iowa fan and go to ISU that is fine and dandy (even though you are huge db) just expect to be harassed.
Ya, there were a couple idiots wearing Hawk shirts walking through the tailgate area last Saturday, and everyone was giving them a hard time, just like they wanted. I would expect the same or worse treatment if I walked through a Hawkeye tailgate, especially on a week we the two teams were not playing.

I am a newbie when it comes to linux, but i really liked this program, so i figured i'd give it a shot...
i downloaded the the tar and when i extracted it, it wasn't in the same structure as mentioned in the install file. the install.sh script is it a totally different location.
i checked on the tar for rhel4 and it corresponded to the structure on the web site.
is there something i have to do the the FC3 files once they are extracted to put them in the right structure? im just confused on how to get this whole thing started.
thanks for all your help. i really would like to get zimbra up and running, but i don't have much linux experience.

I've got a huge trial starting today. The wash is very often the calm before the storm in my present life.
Driving back from Mt. Lemmon, I happened along this hot air balloon flying low and crossing the way. When the conditions are right, Tucson is a spectacular place to fly. Some of these mornings lately have been making me long for my ultralight days.
03/02/2008, Tucson
03/01/2008, Tucson, Pantano Road
I'll be back to sailing in May, until then all I can do is continue to read the sailblogs of others, share the images and thoughts of the present, and work diligently to complete what I must get done in the next 60 days.
I dug up this picture from last October's adventures on the ICW.
02/29/2008, Tucson
Who says there's no running water in southern, Arizona. The wash has been running for months. I've never experienced anything like it in all my years here. It comes from the Catalina mountains to the north of us. The weather conditions this past Fall and Winter have put an incredible amount of water up there. This is where it runs on its way down into the valley of the sun. The County has constructed large concrete sides to this watershed and upon these are the graded trails that we walk almost daily. Jake has been loving the water, no matter how cold. For months, I've been toweling them dry and clean when we get home from the back of the truck. My floors are not so thrilled anymore either.
02/29/2008, Cloud Rd.
Driving to the wash early in the morning to take the dogs and myself for a walk. This is the neighborhood I was raised in. It is getting to be that time of year when the sun rises just in time to fit perfectly into my work routine. Sunsets are also happening right around the time I arrive home from work. I like those times of day. Peaceful.
My parents wouldn't let me get any type of motorcycle when I was a kid except for this three wheel thing with a 3 hp motor that hardly ever worked. My brother Kevin and I pulled on that damn starter cord until we were exhausted. I can remember about two times when it worked. The first time my father let everyone on the street ride it and my brother and I only got like one turn. We hated him for that. The second time it worked I took my childhood best friend Brett on a ride around the frontiers of my neighborhood. That was awesome. Then it broke again. I probably broke it. My brother and I went in on an old lambretta scooter when we were in high school, but it broke too. Much fun when it did work. Fast little thing. My first bike was a Yamaha Riva 180 scooter. Bought it my first year of college and used it to explore Los Angeles and the Valley. Many good times and fond memories on that bike. Gave me some problems, but it was worth it. Brought it back to Tucson in the bed of my high school friend's truck and drove it for a while at the U of A until I sold it to another student, who quickly trashed it. Inexplicably, I didn't own another bike until after law school, though I rented them when I traveled. I moved to St. Louis for a year after school and bought a used Blue BMW R-65 from the dealer. That was really my first introduction to motorcycling and it firmly established a love affair with BMW motorcycles that continues to this day. I eventually drove the little bike across the country back to Los Angeles to live and work with my brother in property management for the greater part of a year. I used to go on Sunday motorcycle drives up into Malibu and the wilderness areas. When I came back to Tucson to start law practice, I drove that little R-65 with an Israeli friend on back. He kept trying to fall asleep. I eventually sold that bike to a guy who I still see riding it from time to time years later. Not long thereafter, I picked up a vintage Honda crotch rocket that gave me trouble and had a problem with the id numbers such that I couldn't register it. Traded that in with some extra cash for an old but very low miles Honda Rebel 450. Enjoyed that bike for several years and just sold it recently because it was starting to give me problems from lack of use. During the time I had the Rebel I went on a kind of motorcycle/materialism kick and owed four at one time: The aforementioned Rebel, a BMW F-650 Funduro (I still have that one), a Yamaha Zuma 50 Scooter (still have that one too), and the bike in the blog photo before you, my biggest and coolest bike yet, a Honda VTX 1300. Silver. With windshield and extra light bar. Sweet bike. But I couldn't keep that many mistresses contented and with the upcoming sailing adventure, I need to unload a lot of unnecessary trappings of shore life.
02/22/2008, My Backyard
I'm sitting in my kitchen listening to the classical music channel on my short wave radio receiver, amplified by the powered speakers I usually attach to this computer. It isn't a short wave channel, it's the local one. These types of radios get incredibly precise and clear reception of FM and I prefer it to the fancy house system. It is still dark out at 6:21 am. As soon as it begins to get light outside I'll make coffee, throw the dogs in the truck and drive them to their walk by the wash. It's about a 7 minute drive that we do pretty much every day, except those days we hike up at Lemmon or are traveling. I've been reading a number of blogs of late from folks who were just about ready to head off cruising but something went wrong or they chickened-out or couldn't sell their house or a million other reasons. I hope that doesn't happen to me. I'm planning to be on the water by mid-May and sail south well into June or later, depending on the weather. More about all that later, I am beginning to see the first signs of light.
02/16/2008, Mt. Lemmon, Tucson, Arizona
This is a photo of Jake and Anne in the back of my truck up at Mt. Lemmon after a hike up the Molino Basin trail. I take this hike every week or two, often with my cousin Jodi and her dogs. Mt. Lemmon is a huge national recreation area on the north side of Tucson, Arizona where I was born and raised and where I currently reside. The name has nothing to do with the name of the blog, though it is a nice coincidence. Sometimes I take the Bounder up for weekend trips here, but not lately because I've been working too much. But not for too much longer. I know my last several blogs have little to do with sailing, but I'm blogging even so.

Hello everyone, I didn't see Linux Mint listed on the downloads page. How hard would it be for me to get it set up so that other people can use it on Linux Mint as well? I'm a developer but I've never contributed to an open source project so this is a new field for me.
Thanks in advance for all help given.

Junk Food And Luxury Food Eligibility With Maine Food Stamps
There was a law passed called The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. This law defines eligible SNAP foods as any food or food product for home consumption and also includes seeds and plants which produce food for consumption by SNAP households. Since the current definition of food is a specific part of the Act, any change to this definition would require action by a member of Congress. Several times in the history of SNAP, Congress had considered placing limits on the types of food that could be purchased with program benefits. However, they concluded that designating foods as luxury or non-nutritious would be administratively costly and burdensome.

Excerpts of Remarks, Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, Chairman
Today, I am pleased to welcome Foreign Minister Kozhara to share his views with us one-third of the way into Ukraine's 2013 OSCE Chairmanship. A lot of hard work has already been done by your Chairmanship, and we appreciate it.
Mr. Minister, the 1975 Helsinki Final Act and process it initiated, with its focus on human rights and fundamental freedoms, played an important role in the achievement of your country's independence. And, as you know, the Helsinki Commission has a long history of support for Ukraine's independence and democratic development. We want Ukraine to succeed. I recall my visits to Ukraine, both to Kyiv in early 2005 shortly following the Orange Revolution, a time of great promise, and again in 2007 for the Annual Session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. I also had the opportunity visit Chornobyl, site of the worst nuclear power plant disaster in history, which for nearly three decades has had such a profound impact on Ukraine and her neighbors.
Like any Chair-in-Office, Ukraine faces formidable tasks in leading this multilateral organization that operates on the basis of consensus, and includes 57 countries ranging from democracies to dictatorships. A Chair-in-Office must itself display strong democratic credentials if it is to succeed in encouraging compliance with OSCE obligations in other countries. It is incumbent upon Ukraine to lead by example in upholding its OSCE human rights and rule of law commitments. I welcome the recent pardons of former high ranking officials and believe that they are a good first step. I trust that you will build on your promise of further judicial and electoral reforms, and we hope that last week's European Court of Human Rights ruling that the detention of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko before and during her trial was arbitrary and a violation of her rights will provide further impetus for her release.
Mr. Minister, your appearance here allows us to hear your reflections on your achievements and challenges to date, and to how your priorities are being executed and plans for the remainder of your tenure. We all must do what we can to ensure security and economic cooperation, and to safeguard not only democracy's progress, but its preservation. That is why strengthening the implementation of human dimension commitments by all participating States is so important.
I want to thank you for taking on the leadership of the OSCE and wish you continued success in your remaining 8 months. I'm hopeful that Ukraine's chairmanship of this important organization will enrich both Ukraine and the entire OSCE.

A Florida Atlantic University student who filed a complaint against his professor after he was ordered to stomp on the name of Jesus has been brought up on academic charges by the school and may no longer attend class, according to documents obtained by Fox News.
Rotela, a devout Mormon, ran afoul of the university after he refused to participate in a classroom assignment that involved writing the name "Jesus" on a piece of paper – and then stomping on it.
The university initially defended the Christ-bashing lesson which is included textbook titled, "Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition."
Fox News obtained a synopsis of the lesson taught by Deandre Poole, who also happens to be vice chair of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.
"Have the students write the name JESUS in big letters on a piece of paper," the lesson reads. "Ask the students to stand up and put the paper on the floor in front of them with the name facing up. Ask the students to think about it for a moment. After a brief period of silence instruct them to step on the paper. Most will hesitate. Ask why they can't step on the paper. Discuss the importance of symbols in culture."
"The textbook reveals the agenda," he said. "So-called intellectual enlightenment is stomping on everything that has held western civilization together for the past 2,000 years."
Paul Kengor, the executive director of the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College, told Fox News he's not surprised by the classroom lesson.
"These are the new secular disciples of 'diversity' and 'tolerance' – empty buzzwords that make liberals and progressives feel good while they often refuse to tolerate and sometimes even assault traditional Christian and conservative beliefs," Kengor said.
Kengor said classes like the one at Florida Atlantic University demonstrate the contempt many public institutions hold for people of faith.
"It also reflects the rising confidence and aggression of the new secularists and atheists, especially at our sick and surreal modern universities," he said.
The university did not explain why students were only instructed to write the name of Jesus – and not the name of Mohammed or another religious figure.
"Gee, I wonder if the instructor would dare do this with the name of Mohammed," Kengor wondered.

Royals Caravan starts Thursday!
January is the perfect time to begin thinking about baseball…spring training is just around the corner! One special tradition has been in place since before the Royals took the field. Yes, Royals Caravan started in 1968 and continues to this day! This is a great event where fans throughout the region get to meet their favorite Royals players, former players, broadcasters and…Sluggerrr! Last year, Around the Horn tagged along on a Caravan – here's our report from that trip.
On Thursday, there will be meet and greet sessions in Topeka, Manhattan, Lincoln and Omaha. Friday includes meet and greets in Salina, Wichita and St. Joseph.
A new feature at Caravan stops in 2013 is a collection through a partnership with the USO chapters of Fort Riley and Missouri. Fans may donate washcloths, individually wrapped toothbrushes, beef jerky, drink packets and pudding cups, which will be distributed to military members serving overseas and returning from duty. Fans can also bring or make hand-written "Thank You" cards for troops at the Caravan stops. Royals Charities will donate $1 to the USO for every card received (up to $10,000).
A schedule of Caravan events for January 17 and 18 is available at www.royals.com/caravan. The Royals Caravan will continue on January 20-22 and an announcement with the schedule and participants will be released later this week.

They're all in a huff over the president's executive orders
1 2 Next page >
Time goes by quickly. We're well into April, and there seems to be so much to do and so little time to do it. Except when you're Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Last week, commenting on Congress's work, McConnell said that as far as he's concerned, "this session is over until after the November elections."

RF Heating
Application ID: 6078
This is a model of an RF waveguide bend with a dielectric block inside. There are electromagnetic losses in the block as well as on the waveguide walls which cause the assembly to heat up over time. The material properties of the block are functions of temperature. The transient thermal behavior, as well as the steady-state solution, are computed.

Nicely done...
This is the first tutorial I have released on the site, and probably one of the first I've released onto the Internet, so bear with me. I want to see if this process I have worked on for the past few months translates well to the tutorial setting.
Basically, this involves creating a bump map that we "overlay" on top of the land to give it texture. I'll try to keep it short, simple, and to the point, but basic Photoshop capability is of course required.
Of course, I can't take all the credit. If there is a similar tutorial on CG, chances are it's been an inspiration. This is simply my unique take on the process of making an atlas/satellite-like map. So I have to give…
Thanks to the following people:
- Ascension – excellent tutorial for creating a map, as well as land shape
- Kalvinlyle – his tutorial helped me refine my process as well
- Anyone else who's helped/supported me on cartographersguild.com
Note: This tutorial assumes you have land created already that requires texturing, so I have decided to forgo adding this section. For an awesome tutorial on that, go to:
Without further ado, we begin.
1. Create a new document. I chose 1000 x 1000 px at 150 dpi for this tutorial's picture.
2. Name your land layer something like Land Base, and CTRL-click its thumbnail in the Layers window to select it.
3. With your selection still active, create a new layer above that one, and name it Overlay. Go to Filter -> Render -> Clouds. After that, do the same thing again, but with Difference Clouds this time. Hit CTRL-F a few times until happy. I usually do it 7 or 8 times. You should end up with something similar to below:
4. This is where the artsy, patient part comes in. Create a new layer above your Overlay layer, and name it Elevation Adjustment. Now choose a soft, round brush at a low (10-25%) opacity. CTRL-click your Land Base layer so you're not brushing on your ocean, and brush black onto areas you want to be lower, and white onto areas you want to be higher, and more mountainous. Places like shorelines and basins where water would collect should obviously be lower (painted more black) than other areas.
5. This is the fun part. Once you're done making your land look like what you want, merge your Overlay and Elevation Adjustments layers (or duplicate them and merge, if you don't like destructive editing), and copy the layer.
6. Go to the Channels tab, at the top of your Layers window. Create a new Alpha Channel, and paste the copied layer into there.
7. Go back into your Layers tab, and hide the merged Overlay/Adjustment layer. Create a new layer above the Land Base layer. We'll name it Land Texture. Go to Edit -> Fill and select 50% Gray from the dropdown box. Click OK and the Texture layer will be filled with a flat gray color.
8. Go to Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects. Enter the settings below, and make sure the Texture Channel box is set to Alpha 1, or whatever you chose to name the alpha channel. Uncheck White is high, because it seems to turn the mountains into valleys, despite its name. Drag the two little light indicators around until the preview picture mostly looks like a fairly neutral gray color.
Light Type: Directional
Intensity: 35
Gloss: -15 (0 is fine too)
Material: 100
Exposure: 0
Ambiance: 0
Mountainous: 100
9. Viola! You now have texture. CTRL-click the Land Base layer one more time (while you still have your overlay layer selected), and hit CTRL-Shift-I to invert the selection. Then hit delete. This will get rid of the portions of the overlay that are water, and makes the shoreline look better as well. Now set the Land Texture layer to Overlay. Your land should look like this now.
10. There is only one thing left to do now. Color! Using a round, soft brush (set to about 25-50% opacity), brush in the color you'll need for your map, such as a light green for grass, a dark brown for mountains, and white for snow-capped peaks. Each color should occupy its own layer. This is another part where general skill and imagination comes in. Everyone's picture will be different in some way. My result is below:
That's my tutorial in a nutshell. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or think the tutorial is confusing, be sure to post something. I hope my tutorial helps some people make some great maps; I hope to see what people come up with.

This is awsome, i'll try it later.
I'm finding it hard to get the soft brush adjustments right....I'm being too impatient...I'll keep working at it. Thanks for the tutorial!
This is the exact technique we use at my office to create shaded relief from DEM data. Nice job.
If anyone has any suggestions about how to make this tutorial better (more easy to follow, etc.), I appreciate the feedback. I humbly hope my little how-to makes a big splash here at the CG, like some of the legends that gave me inspiration to try this.
I'm definitely going to try this on a couple of regional maps I'm working on. Repped!
Thanks for great tutorial!
I Merge this height tutorial with my old brush-map. What i done so far: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3...nemev1mini.jpg
But i have some problem with coloring. Any advises or more detailed coloring tutorials about coloring? :/
cool stuff. looking great, Flawedspirit
just a suggestion, but perhaps putting it into wilbur next to get realistic errosion and rivers?
Sifaus: try using a height gradient as a layer mask? I used one in one of my maps turned out nicely - here's a tutorial I just found that may help
for colours, perhaps work out what part of a planet your map is on? on the equator or near a pole will be a a starting point.
greetings everyone,
i liked the suggestion of jezelf and importet the heightmap created with clouds and difference clouds into wilbur and erroded the mountains ( tutorials 1 and 4 on the wilbur homepage ). I reimported the hightmap and colored it with the wilbur shading colors. the combination of clouds and difference clouds leads to circle shaped formations wich are not easy to get rid off. I will go on with the map I´ve created and work on it.

I have been frustrated with the lack of support with Zimbra Toaster not supporting calendar reminders - how silly is this?
Anyway I have experimented with Zimbra and Mozilla Sunbird's remote calendar (it supports popup reminders) - however I can't seem to override the events not having reminders set.
Has anyone had success with any program popping up zimbra calendar reminders in a window that actually grabs focus on the desktop.
Thanks in advance

In an era when countries and their populations are increasingly exposed to the opportunities and risks associated with the ever-expanding global movement of people, policymakers are rethinking approaches to border controls and border management. These policies and programs run the gamut—from facilitating the legitimate movement of people and trade to thwarting the unauthorized movement of humans and contraband, the latter a significant preoccupation in the post-9/11 era and as publics have become ever less accepting of illegal immigration. The research offered here examines the management of borders, enforcement policies and initiatives, and technologies used in pursuit of border security.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.
Despite benefits of sharing commercial, government, or personal information for law enforcement and intelligence purposes, U.S. and EU officials have toiled to find a satisfactory legal framework to do so. This report describes and analyzes possible legal, privacy, and data-protection frameworks for information-sharing agreements relating to human mobility.
In this memo, a veteran immigrant-rights strategist, Frank Sharry, offers his views on the politics and policy of achieving immigration reform.
This report assesses the performance of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the course of the agency's first six years, examines the effectiveness of the three core immigration agencies within DHS—U.S Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
This Fact Sheet outlines the common rules and policies of Schengen Member States that have abolished controls at internal borders, the regulations for EU and third-country nationals who wish to enter and reside in the Schengen Area, and the function and mechanism of the "Schengen visa."
This report, the product of two workshops held on border management in Belgium and Texas, addresses three arenas of significant change shared by the United States and the European Union: 1) new government organizations for controlling borders; 2) the use of information technology to secure borders; and 3) visa‐free travel policies.
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.

|Operation PC Cares ships packages to troops at war
|Written by Chris Lee
Beef jerky, face/hand wipes, hard candies and rice krispie bars were just a few things getting packed into boxes ready for a long trip overseas.
Mary Tomky, Shirley Kadlec and Joyce Krueger were busy stuffing items into boxes Saturday, Jan. 30. They weren't getting birthday or Christmas presents ready, they were getting packages ready to send to Phillips County soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Two of the packages were going to Carl Adams and Cody Rauch. Adams is married to Krueger's granddaughter Jennifer Adams. Another package was ready to ship out to Rick McIntosh whose address had yet to arrive. Jon Kleve has been receiving packages, however he was deployed the second week of January and will not have an address.
Operation PC Cares is a program that began in 2007. Tomky said some businesses came together as well as individuals who donated money to purchase a bunch of magnetic ribbons. The ribbons were sold beginning July 4, 2007 to raise money for the Operation PC Cares project.
The first packages were sent Sept. 1, 2007. Funds from the ribbon sales have long been exhausted but donations of items and monetary donations have kept the project running.
Although it doesn't seem like much sending just two packages, the recipients truly appreciate them. Tomky said she receives e-mails thanking them for the items.
As many as nine packages have been sent to soldiers at one time. In January and March of 2008, enough items were collected to send to that many soldiers.
Other items such as frisbees and hard candy are sent to soldiers so they can hand them out to children they meet. Kadlec said the children really like the hard candy. Stuffed animals, puzzle books and yo-yo's are just a few of the other items children enjoy, Tomky said.
Although he was unable to help Saturday, Levi Kurtzer of Haxtun has been very involved with the project. The 12-year-old has been very enthusiastic and helpful with the program, Tomky said.
Tomky, Kadlec and Krueger said if anyone knows of Phillips County servicemen/women currently serving in either Iraq or Afghanistan to let them know.
Donations are always welcome to help the project. Items may be dropped off at the Chamber office. Tomky said packages will continue to be sent as long as funds are available for additional items and postage.
The list of items that are sent is long but includes things such as deodorant, snack mixes, toothpaste and toothbrushes, games, magazines, newspapers, ink pens, books, hot cocoa mix, soup mix, playing cards, among many other things. Contact Tomky at the Chamber office at 854-3517 for a full list of items.

Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Behind Marc Gasol's game-high 22 points and
Zach Randolph's double-double, the Memphis Grizzlies prevailed over the Utah
Jazz, 103-94, at FedEx Forum on Monday.
Gasol connected on 6-of-11 shots and made all 10 of his free throw attempts,
while Zach Randolph poured in 16 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for the
Grizzlies, who have won a franchise-record 12 straight games at home dating
back to last year.
Mike Conley also added 16 points and Quincy Pondexter followed with 14 off the
bench. Rudy Gay had a rough shooting night, converting just 3-of-17
shots, but finished with 15 points for Memphis, which strung together back-to-
back wins after defeating the Warriors on Friday.
Gordon Hayward scored 11 points in the first quarter, but finished with just
19 for the Jazz, who were coming off a loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Mo
Williams had 17 points as well with eight assists and Al Jefferson put in a
double-double, scoring 11 points and pulling down 10 rebounds in the loss.

Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. This gland is in the neck. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism. The surgery may be a:
All or part of the thyroid gland may be surgically removed for any of the following reasons:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a thyroidectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
anesthesia will be used.
You will be asleep.
An incision will be made in the front of the neck. Bleeding vessels will be clamped and tied off. All or part of the thyroid gland will be cut away from other tissues in the neck. Care will be taken to avoid injury to other nearby glands and nerves. Bleeding is controlled with special tools that compress and seal the ends of the vessels. The incision will be closed. The edges of skin will be stitched together. A drain will often be left in overnight. It will help drain any extra fluids.
The thyroid may be removed to treat thyroid cancer. In this case, lymph nodes in the area may also be removed. This will test if the cancer has spread.
In some cases, the doctor may be able to remove the thyroid using endoscopic surgery. This involves making small incisions, instead of a large incision in the neck.
About 2-4 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. Pain after the procedure is common. You will be given medication to help manage this.
The usual length of stay is one day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

The Reusable Self Adhesive Political World Wall Map is the cutting edge in wall decor! This is not a normal wall map. It's a pre-pasted world map wall graphic that comes in a single poster style piece. It's completely politically accurate and lists all of the worlds countries and capitals. But the best part is that you can peel it off the wall, place it back on the paper backer and store it or move it on to a new wall! This is great if you live in an apartment or dorm or just want a map for your office. When you move or get promoted you can just take it with you! The map is 26 inches tall by 52 inches wide.
