Germany currently making plans to train Somali troops
Newscast Media MOGADISHU—There are plans for German troops to take part in the
EU training mission in Somalia, a German magazine has reported. Defense Minister
Ursula von der Leyen has said Bundeswehr troops would become more involved in
According to the report, Germany's federal armed forces, the Bundeswehr, is to
discuss plans for German soldiers to join in the EU training mission in Somalia.
Spiegel Online says an as-yet unspecified number of troops would join the European
Union military mission (EUTM Somalia), which contributes to the training of Somali
National Security Forces.
A German Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed the report in principle but added
that a political mandate was necessary from the Federal Parliament, the Bundestag,
before the number of troops could be determined. The report indicated troops could
be on the ground by April.
Since 2010, EUTM Somalia has contributed to the training of approximately 3,600
Somali soldiers. Training has been provided in Uganda, due to the political and
security situation in Somalia, in close collaboration with the Uganda People's Defence
German troops have taken part in previous EUTM training programs for Somali troops
in Uganda.
Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has said that German soldiers would become
more involved in Africa in the future. She made her first, official visit to Africa last
week, with stops in Senegal and Mali.

text: What's Next: the future, predicted... what's next 02 January 09 by Charlie Burton (Read an introduction to this feature here)2017 Energy-efficient buildings Norman Foster reflects that "architectural tastes will probably be driven by the global ambition to develop a sustainable way of living," although these new buildings will still have to be "a great place to be". The problem is that glass and concrete structures are not that energy-efficient. Richard Silberglitt imagines new buildings using "third-generation solar collectors, such as the Grätzel cell, the solar cell developed by Michael Grätzel which is based on a nanoparticle of titanium dioxide and a dye that's a solar absorber." These would essentially be flexible solar panels that come in rolls like wallpaper. Fitting them, however, is expensive. Will Alsop is convinced that eventually governments will intervene to encourage green design, while Jim Cramer sees most buildings as being energy-neutral in ten to 15 years' time. 2018 Everything onlineInternet-protocol (IP) addresses, the numbers that identify computers on a network, are running out. But its replacement, IPv6, will create such a vast amount of new ones, Vint Cerf tells us, that a very large number of devices can be part of the interactive environment. "I'm anticipating that several hundreds of millions of devices will be online. A lot will be very small things - sensors, for example, for local ambient information such as temperature, humidity and possibly the detection of biohazards. Or they might be used to monitor and control building conditions or security devices." Chris Bishop sees this as leading to the fully automated home in ten to 20 years - and we are already on the way. "Some estimates show a typical modern house has around 100 fully programmable computers and this looks set to increase."2018 The meal-replacement patchLisa Bodell says these may be in use by 2018. However, Patrick Dixon says that the concept is "junk" and Richard Yada worries about its impact on romance. "Can you imagine taking a young lady out on a date and going, 'Oh, hey, slap on a patch and we'll talk for four hours.'?" he says.2019 Electro-sex Since the orgasmatron in Woody Allen's Sleeper stimulated us with the idea of electronically generated orgasms, the possibilities for integrating sex and technology have multiplied. Richard Kadrey predicts the fun starting within 12 years. "There might be some really interesting side effects, like people simply burning out sectors of their brain, as with cocaine use where you don't have any serotonin left." Other substitutes for traditional relief include an orgasm pill, which Kadrey warns could lead to "the breakdown of culture". But, he adds, "it would also affect warfare in interesting ways - it's probably hard to Electro-sex have a war when everyone's sitting around jacking off."Violet Blue says that only the "prudish mores" of pharmaceuticals are holding back such a drug. "It'll arrive in a version for men a lot faster than it will for women," she says. "We'll get it in three to five years." But for the true-to-life experience, you really need a robotic sex doll. James Bellini assures us we should "give it another 15 years" for that, and Tamar Kasriel can see the logic of using one instead of a prostitute. And when will we see the first politician embroiled in a robot sex orgy scandal? Kadrey reckons around the year 2035, Blue a more forward-thinking 2015.2020 Artificial intelligence If someone cannot tell if they are in conversation with a human or a computer, artificial intelligence has been achieved - this is the Turing test.Peter Bishop believes meeting Turing's criteria lies in teachable neural networks, "thousands and thousands of very small processors, each with a connection to a set of others". However, Chris Bishop disagrees. He says that the first-generation machines were based on rules created by humans and the second used statistical approaches such as neural networks. "Now we are seeing a third generation that combines aspects of both." Practicalities aside, Gordon Bell says that while we will have a machine that passes the Turing test by 2020, he does not believe in the "singularity" - the point at which machines improve themselves through artificial super-intelligence. Vint Cerf agrees it will be difficult. "Our understanding of language and our ability to reason and think is in part a product of our ability to interact with the world around us and experience the world through our senses. Even if computers had the same experience, I don't think they would be able to develop the same sort of connections we can make."However, Eric Horvitz disagrees. "I think that's selling short the possibilities. If what we experience is indeed computation, there is nothing about it that we could not replicate." Horvitz reckons machine consciousness is not unlikely in the long term, but in any case, he believes the Turing test is a red herring that doesn't really measure intelligence. And Chris Bishop makes the point that we would logically never know if a machine was conscious, as the mind is always private.2020 Humans visit Mars "For a trip to Mars," says Carl Walz, a long-serving Nasa astronaut, "you're looking at 500 to 900 days in space - it's bad for your bones and you're exposed to huge amounts of space radiation. And you have to bring along your water and your oxygen." However, he is optimistic that in the 2040s we might see a successful mission. "We've just now delivered a water-regeneration system to the International Space Station." Richard Bower sees the main problem as one of funding. "If there was the money available, it would be feasible. With enough effort you could build a station there where people could live. And if there was oil on Mars, the game would change completely." So what is the time-scale? "It all depends on the discovery of Martian oil in, maybe, 2020," he says. "If that were to happen, I think maybe ten years after that - like, 2030 - you'll be seeing manned bases on Mars."2020 Affordable genetic prophecy at birth Your child is born, the umbilical cord is cut and a swab is taken from the inside of the baby's cheek so that your new arrival can be gentoyped. This would reveal their genetic vulnerabilities, putting into action a chain of prophylaxis and treatment that will ensure them, so the argument goes, a longer, healthier life. Up to now, this kind of testing was out of reach to all but the very rich or very connected. But Linda Avey says the price of whole-genome sequencing has decreased significantly over the past five years, with at least two companies saying they will be able to sequence a person's genome for less than £3,500 in 2009. "We expect that this price will continue to drop, making some form of genetic analysis accessible to large numbers of people within the next decade," she says. Tamar Kasriel likens sequencing to a "Damocletian threat", but Josh Calder disagrees. "The list of things we can partially prevent or prepare for is going to grow long enough that we're going to want to do it." The offshoot could be genes specific medicine, which Marian Salzman believes "will be the name of the game" by 2020. "If you know your child is at risk of diabetes, you can modify their diet and medication from day one to reduce the chances of it ever manifesting."2021 First conflict based on global warming Climate change will create new military flashpoints. With a rise of the sea level around Bangladesh, says Peter Schwartz, "you will suddenly find 100 million refugees headed towards India". This dwarfs the biggest refugee migration seen so far: four million people displaced from Afghanistan since the conflicts of the 1980s. Meanwhile, as the Mekong river dries up, China will dam it, even though 60 million people in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia depend on its waters for their livelihood. This could happen soon, as conditions for both will emerge "in the next ten to 15 years", says Schwartz.2021 Remote controlled surgery Richard Watson says remote controlled surgery will be commonplace "in ten to 15 years" and Lisa Bodell reckons that, by 2016 or 2017, "it's a definite". But Patrick Dixon disagrees. "There's a fundamental physical problem. Things go wrong in surgery and when they do you have to change gear fast." The technology would be particularly useful for space surgery but the distances are even more troublesome. Timothy Broderick tells us: "We did an experiment for Nasa, the US military and the Canadian Space Agency, that looked at operating a robot remotely with lunar latency. The lag time for a surgeon operating from the Earth to the Moon was about two seconds." However, "the more you have the system do, the easier it is to operate the robot's capabilities remotely." This is especially important "if we're talking about being on Mars and there's a communication lag of up to 45 minutes". While full surgical automation is dangerous, in warzones its risks may be less than the risk of death. Broderick has been working with the US Department of Defense's on a new "Trauma Pod" for the battlefield. The goal is "to have no one in the operating room except for the injured soldier, so you have a robotic suite where a surgeon remotely operates on him and the nurses and local surgeon are all replaced by robots." Nor is that as far fetched as it sounds. "Aspects of this could be in use within ten years," he says. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The "DC Groper" was deported to Nicaragua on Wednesday, after being convicted of sexually assaulting women in the DuPont Circle area, officials said.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) / Removal Operations (ERO) said in a press release that 31-year-old Oscar Mauricio Cornejo was living in the U.S. illegally and was handed over to ICE after his criminal sentence.
In the summer of 2012, Cornejo sexually assaulted several young women as he rode his bicycle and aggressively groped and fondled the victims, the press release said.
Following his arrest by DC Police, Cornejo received a 180-day prison sentence with all but 90 days suspended. He admitted to the sexual assault of four women during the court case and was charged with misdemeanor sex abuse.
"Cornejo has proven to be a danger to community and it is ICE's top priority in the interest of public safety to ensure his removal from the United States," said M. Yvonne Evans, field office director for ERO Washington.

Three questions which need to be answered [2:36 PM]
CBS Sportsline reports: The spring is for new hope, but many times it is unwarranted. What might look good in April won't look good in September.

Dr. Z: Bledsoe and the Walsh offense? [12:31 PM]
CNN/SI reports: OC Kevin Gilbride has his whole background in the run 'n shoot, which is pretty far removed from Bledsoe's dropback style. Either Bledsoe is an old dog who has to learn new tricks (not likely) or Gilbride has to cut back on his tendencies and tailor his attack more to Bledsoe's talents, which makes greater sense. They've certainly got the people for it, namely Eric Moulds, one of the game's finest long-ball receivers, and TE Jay Riemersma, who's very effective coming down the seam. What they've got to do is put together a line that can hold its blocks longer, which is why they took the big tackle in the first round.

check this out. it attaches to shock bolt and black frame rail.you can buy it here in oz for $80 plus postage to the usa
That mounts the same as this one below (from NField Gear) on my '08 AVL Classic. Are the C5's rear end & the AVL Classic's the same?
Would you be able to post a photo of how you mounted it? That's the rack (well, one of them) that I got, hoping to make it work on the B5, but it really doesn't fit:
Not the same? Yours attaches to what looks like seat mounts in back, and the front arms come down inside the "fender rails" (for lack of a better term?) to attach to the shock mounts.The C5 one clamps to the rails in back, and the front arms come down outside the fender rails. From the photo, it doesn't look like there's room for the arms to come down between the rail and fender...
No. Mine do not mount to the seat mounts.
Ah so. It's hard to see in that pic what's happening beneath that reflector button on the rack's rear arm!
Well, I have tabs on the rails, too. They're seat mounts. The rear of the factory double seat mount on those tabs. Hence my assumption that they were seat mounts. But apples and oranges; there's a lot of differences between our models which make fitting stuff a pain...My rack, that's supposed to fit my bike, lines up perfectly with those seat mount tabs on the back; it's the front that's the trouble. The rack came with bolts and spacers that slide over the bolts, but I can't make them work in any configuration...
bluesdaddy2-But, what are the two clamps (round with plastic chafing gear) I see attached to the side rails of your rack? They don't appear to be holding anything...
Those (showing) are two of four acorn capped studs that I have mounted strategically to act as a point for a rope or bungee cord to attach and/or tie off when securing something on the rack.
I have the Hitchcock rear rack on my 2012 C5, fits perfectly and looks great...[*snip*]...model # 92740.

Highcountry Dreams
I am currently putting together an application strategy for this year. I have narrowed my deer choices down to two units: a Unit 74 2nd season or a Unit 35/36 3rd season. Since I have 0-points I am thinking of buying a landowner tag and applying for points only to hunt better units in the future. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences in the these units that may help me make a decision. Thanks.

The state of state science standards 2005
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute's report The State of State Science Standards -- the first comprehensive review of state science standards since 2000 -- was released on December 7, 2005. According to the Fordham Institute's description:
Science education in America is under attack, with "discovery learning" on one flank and the Discovery Institute on the other. That's the core finding of our just-released comprehensive review of state science standards, the first since 2000. Written by pre-eminent biologist Paul R.
Why SETI isn't like "intelligent design"
Writing on the space.com website (December 1, 2005), Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute debunks a common claim of the "intelligent design" movement: that "intelligent design" uses the same methodology, and thus is as scientifically credible, as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
"Intelligent design" to meet its maker?
In a provocatively titled column in the December 4, 2005, issue of The New York Times, Laurie Goodstein considers whether "Intelligent Design Might Be Meeting Its Maker." Although "intelligent design" might seem to be making headway in the headlines, she writes, "intelligent design as a field of inquiry is failing to gain the traction its supporters had hoped for." The scientific productivity of the "intelligent design" movement is meager, she notes, and "[o]n college campuses, the moveme

Being organized is supplemental to working on any kind of hands-on project. Unfortunately, many creative, craftastic individuals lack that innate sense of tidiness and organization. I'm certainly guilty of this; check out what my craft closet used to look like.
Marriage is not in my foreseeable future and I would much rather crash a reception than plan a wedding, but it's summer and I must acknowledge wedding season. Until recently, I worked at a private club which hosted events like wedding receptions. This was a classy joint, so I worked at some gorgeous loose-budget parties, to say the least. A few things that really bugged me about these receptions were the ridiculous price tags on some of the smaller aspects of the events and the amount of crap I'd have to throw away once the guests departed. So, while I am no professional, I've picked out some D.I.Y. alternatives with the help of my high-end wedding observations, my library of craft books and some hot conscientious wedding Web sites. There's a ton of them out there and any bride- or groom-to-be should check 'em out if they're trying to save – or go – green at their wedding.
Last spring when I was in school full time, working two jobs, I envisioned a craftalicious summer ahead of me. Well, school's been out for a month, one of my jobs went out of business and I still do not have anything handmade to show for myself. Major fail. So this week I've punctuated my job searching with crafting plans and I got totally inspired by this book, which I received for Christmas:
Yesterday I was driving along listening to "The Story" on National Public Radio, a program hosted by Dick Gordon. Gordon interviews "everyday people" who have experienced something interesting to share. Yesterday, Gordon talked with Stephen Faser, an Internet marketing pro-turned-fabric printer from North Carolina. Faser and his wife started creating their own fabrics to make textile items for their family, which soon blossomed into their custom printing company, Spoonflower.

Comedian Steve Carell has been tapped to star in an upcoming "Looney Toons" movie.
"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" funnyman is attached to lead the as-yet-untitled film, which will center around the fictional Acme Corporation in the popular cartoon world that includes the likes of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
Warner Bros. bosses have recruited "X-Men: First Class" writers to pen the script, while Carell will reunite with his "Crazy Stupid Love" co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who are in early negotiations to helm the project.
Plot details of the Acme movie have been kept under wraps, but the film will "not center on the Looney Tunes characters and is being planned as a CG/live-action hybrid," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Florida Based Company Agrees to Refund Iowans
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa authorities say a Florida-based online membership club retailer has agreed to pay $135,000 in refunds to Iowans who were charged for memberships in the company's
A news release from the Iowa Attorney General's Office says BestBrandValues.com, which is based Boca Raton, Fla., sells several products on various online sites.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says someone completing an online order would be given the chance to save $5, but clicking to get the savings led to membership charges disclosed in small print.
Iowa law requires much more prominent disclosures.

Jim Compton, a respected television journalist who parlayed his local popularity into a sometimes rocky stint on the Seattle City Council, was found dead Tuesday morning in his car.
Mr. Compton, 72, had spent Monday night having dinner with friends and apparently died of a heart attack while returning home, said his wife of 10 years, Carol Arnold.
The couple had planned to leave for a trip to Rome on Wednesday.
His body was found in his car in North Seattle with the keys in the ignition. The King County Medical Examiner's Office said it had not yet determined the cause of death.

Mr. Compton was remembered Tuesday by friends and former colleagues as a big-thinking reporter and commentator whose curiosity and drive were of great service to TV news viewers.
Born in Klamath Falls, Ore., Mr. Compton received a bachelor's degree in history from Reed College. He later earned a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University and spent a year as a Fulbright scholar in Romania.
He started his journalism career in 1964 as a radio reporter for KGW-AM in Portland. In 1976, he pioneered a Washington, D.C., bureau for KING 5. Three years later he became a foreign correspondent for NBC News, stationed in the Middle East and London.
Over the years he interviewed many prominent world figures, from Anwar Sadat and Moammar Gadhafi to Orson Welles and Jimmy Carter
Mr. Compton returned to the Northwest in 1984 as host and producer for KING 5. He produced a dozen prime-time documentaries, including one on Canadian medical care that won the prestigious duPont-Columbia Award in 1992. His work also was honored with a dozen regional Emmys.
Mr. Compton was best known locally as host of "The Compton Report," a half-hour news show that ran on KING 5 for 10 years.
"He was a bigger thinker than most [local] journalists. He was a historian — he had a wider view of news events," said Mike Cate, a longtime KING 5 producer who worked with Mr. Compton on the show. "You don't see a lot of those guys on local television news any more."
When the first Gulf War broke out in 1990, Cate recalled KING's news director scrambling into the newsroom: "Where's Compton? Where's Compton? Get him on the set!"
Mr. Compton proceeded to offer commentary and context as the news broke. "Jim spoke Arabic; he'd been in Cairo, he'd been in Beirut, he could do it. It was unbelievable to work with the guy," Cate said.
Mr. Compton loved reporting from the field, and before heading out on assignments, he'd tell Cate to be ready for the unexpected: "Dare to be lucky," he liked to say.
After decades covering and commenting on politics, Mr. Compton decided to take the plunge himself in 1999, when he ran and was elected to the Seattle City Council.
As a council member, Mr. Compton shouldered tough assignments, chairing the council's public-safety committee, leading an effort to reform the finances of Seattle City Light and investigating the city's much-maligned response to the riots outside a World Trade Organization gathering in 1999.
For a time, Mr. Compton was considered a potential candidate for mayor. But a pair of missteps blunted any such ambitions.
Mr. Compton was swept up in negative headlines during the 2003 "Strippergate" scandal involving a surge in campaign contributions to three council members from a strip-club owner who sought, and received, a zoning change for his Lake City club.
It later emerged that many of those contributions were illegally funneled through straw donors, though there was no evidence the council members knew that.
Mr. Compton also was cited for accepting a free trip to an NBA game aboard a private jet owned by billionaire Paul Allen, whose real-estate company, Vulcan, had business before the council.
Mr. Compton apologized and paid a $3,000 settlement to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission.
Despite the controversies, Mr. Compton was re-elected in 2003. But he resigned midterm in 2006, saying he wanted to pursue other interests.
Seattle City Councilmember Jean Godden, another journalist turned politician, remembered Mr. Compton fondly.
"He was an unofficial mentor to me, extending a helping hand and giving advice about how a journalist makes the transition to being a city official," Godden said.
And City Councilmember Nick Licata, who served with Mr. Compton, recalled his working for government transparency, police accountability and a municipally owned wireless system. "I found Jim's approach to governing to be thoughtful yet still bold. He was easy to work with but stood up for his beliefs," he said.
News of Mr. Compton's death, coming the same day as a KOMO helicopter crash killed two of the television station's contractors, sent an extra pang of sadness through the media community.
Don Porter, a former KING 5 anchor and longtime colleague, had lunch with Mr. Compton on Monday and said he'd appeared in good health. He called Mr. Compton "a role model, all about substance … he really had questions he wanted answered, and was everything a journalist should be."
In recent months, Mr. Compton had completed a book on the Modoc Indian War and secured a literary agent to get it published. He'd planned to resurrect a documentary-film project about the Gypsies, or Romani people.
Mr. Compton had no children, but Arnold said he'd basically adopted her own grandchildren from a previous marriage.
Mr. Compton's last words with friends at dinner Monday night were, "It was fun," Arnold said, adding that's how he'd like his life to be remembered.
"He had a real zest for life," she said. "He went out on a good note, but it was too soon and too sudden."
A memorial service will be held, but details were not yet available Tuesday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Across the nation on Monday, Americans honored the sacrifices and service of the armed forces.
President Barack Obama attended a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
In his proclamation, Obama says the country's obligations to those who have served "endure long after the battle ends."
"In the life of our nation across every generation, there are those who stand apart," he said. "They step up, they raise their hands, they take that oath, they put on the uniform and they put their lives on the line."
The president singled out World War II Army veteran Richard Overton, who at 107 is believed to be the nation's oldest surviving veteran. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Overton, of East Austin, Texas, during breakfast.
"He was there at Pearl Harbor when the battleships were still smoldering. He was there at Okinawa. He was there at Iwo Jima where he said, 'I only got out of there by the grace of God,'" the president said.

The District of Columbia honored two of the original Tuskegee Airmen with the Congressional Gold Medal and Washington Mayor Vincent Gray and congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton will lay a wreath at the African American Civil War Memorial.
The U.S. military's first female four-star general was a grand marshal at New York City's Veterans Day Parade.
Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody retired last year after a 37-year Army career. Organizers of the parade up Fifth Avenue have renamed it America's Parade.
And a former prisoner of war joined Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin to dedicate a wall commemorating Vietnam veterans.

Lifestyle Cholesterol Management
Understanding Your Risk for Heart Disease
It is possible to minimize the risk of heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in the United States. High blood cholesterol can lead to coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease; keeping cholesterol levels in the normal range can decrease the risk of these diseases.
Lifestyle changes can let you take control of your heart health, and managing your cholesterol level is one such important lifestyle change. Other risk factors that can also be controlled include maintaining normal blood pressure, exercising, keeping your weight within normal limits, quitting smoking, and controlling diabetes and stress.
While one cannot control risk factors like age and family history of heart disease or stroke, it is possible to minimize the other risk factors to live a longer and healthier life.
Knowing your cholesterol number is a good first step in reducing risk. These include total cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein or good cholesterol), LDL (low density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels. Together they are part of a blood screening test called a lipoprotein analysis and can give direction to you and your health care practitioner about the potential need to control cholesterol levels. If cholesterol numbers are abnormal, they indicate an increased risk for coronary artery disease and stroke, and you and your health care practitioner may begin a lifelong program to control those elevated levels with diet and exercise. These are first line strategies to try before cholesterol-lowering medications are prescribed.

Death Ticker
DeathList finally gets an Oscar
6th Dec 2012
: Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer, has finally passed aged 104, to give DeathList 2012 its 12th success. Niemeyer has been the only architect to appear on DeathList but made an epic nine appearances. In 2012 Niemeyer had claimed the number 6 slot.
Jack in a Box
9th Nov 2012
: The question of whether Clive Dunns passing would help or hinder DeathList 2012s progress has been emphatically answered with news of the demise of Bill Tarmey, barely 48 hours after that of Dunn. Tarmey was best known for playing Jack Duckworth in the UK soap opera, Coronation Street. Tarmey was 71 and had been in poor health for many years. This was his second appearance on DeathList, this year being selected at number 28. Tarmeys death is the eleventh success for DeathList 2012.
What's done is Dunn!
7th Nov 2012
: Some said it would never happen. Others suggested that little understood laws of the universe meant it was not possible. What is it that has challenged such great minds for so many years? Time travel? Evidence of extra-terrestrial lifeforms? Exceeding the speed of light?? No. In fact, they were contemplating the immortality of Clive Dunn, comedy actor, previously most famous for appearing as Lance Corporal Jones in the 1960's/70s BBC TV Show, Dads Army. Dunn was a hotly tipped selection on the inaugural DeathList of 1987. Over the next 26 years, Dunn became a DeathList legend and went on to make a record-breaking 16 appearances, eventually making the number 50 shirt his own. Finally the who-blinks-first competition that has lasted more than a quarter of a century is over with the sad news that 92 year old Dunn has passed away, giving the 2012 list its tenth success. Although unsavoury facts about other 1970s stars have come to light posthumously, apart from some suspect pop singles in the 70s, we believe Dunn will continue to honour the moniker of DeathList Favourite from beyond the grave. Dont panic, Mr Mainwaring was his catchphrase and also the philosophy he clearly employed upon seeing his name chalked up on DeathList year after year. We salute you Clive Dunn and thank you for your immense contribution to DeathList.
Herbert Lom czechs out
27th Sep 2012
: Actor, Herbert Lom, most famous for his roles as Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus in the Pink Panther movies has passed away to give DeathList 2012 its ninth score. Lom was born in the Czech Republic but moved to Britain in 1939. He made seven appearances on DeathList, claiming the position number 21 this year.
There's No Tomorrow for Tony
30th Jul 2012
: Veteran singer, Tony Martin, has crooned his last tune to provide DeathList 2012 with a further success. Martin was most active in the 40s and 50s but lived on to ripe old age of 95. Martin was making his third appearance on DeathList, rising up to the number 7 slot this year.
Sykes: With the Lid On
4th Jul 2012
: Eric Sykes, British comedian, has passed away to bring DeathList 2012 its seventh score of the year. Sykes was most famous for his British TV work in the 50's, 60's and 70's including his eponymous BBC show with Hattie Jacques and his 1967 film The Plank which co-starred Tommy Cooper. Despite being virtually deaf, in 1997 he was one of the voices in cult TV classic, Teletubbies. Sykes dies after a short illness aged 89. He made six appearances on DeathList, this year at number 39.
Yitzhak kicks it
30th Jun 2012
: Yitzhak Shamir, former Israeli prime minister, has chalked up another score for DeathList 2012. Shamir was a Mossad agent in the 1960s, becoming the seventh Israeli prime minister in 1977. Shamir suffered from Alzheimer's disease for the last decade of his life and passed away aged 96. He is the sixth success for this year's list and appeared nine times on the list, this year in 18th position.
It's curtains for Ray Bradbury Theater
6th Jun 2012
: Science fiction author, Ray Bradbury, has passed away, aged 91, to continue DeathList's recent hot streak. Bradbury was best known for his 1953 novel , Fahrenheit 451, about a futuristic world in which books are burned. He also wrote scripts for the Twilight Zone and, later, had his own TV show Ray Bradbury Theater. Bradbury was making his third appearance on DeathList and in 2012 was the number 15 selection. His death is the fifth success of the year and the third in the last 18 days.
No more Staying Alive
20th May 2012
: Robin Gibb has ended the "will he, won't he" speculation by passing away from cancer aged 62. The co-founder of the Bee Gees becomes the third of the Gibb brothers to die, giving DeathList 2012 its fourth success of the year and the second inside of a one day. His passing has been described as a "Tragedy" and leaves the one remaining Gibb brother being asked by reporters "How Deep is your Bruv?". Gibb was the number 2 selection on this year's list, making his first appearance, and, in a rare event, sees the top three DeathList candidates all passing. On a day when a man who caused much pain and suffering for people throughout the world is taken from us by cancer, it's a little sad to see him steal the headlines of the death of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi.
Al Megrahi finally defused
20th May 2012
: Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, has finally passed away, giving DeathList 2012 its third success. Expectations of Al Megrahi's demise had been high since he was freed from prison in Scotland on compassionate grounds in 2009 on the basis he was expected to succumb to prostate cancer within weeks or months of release. However, he took the opportunity to take on Ronnie Biggs in a competition to see who could survive the longest after being released by the UK authorities on the basis he was about to die. Megrahi ultimately managed a heroic 2 years and 9 months, even out-surviving Colonel Gaddafi, although Biggs was always going to be a tough competitor. Whether Megrahi was, in fact, actually the Lockerbie bomber continues to be the subject of much debate, but at least his spot on DeathList, this year selected number 3, was never in dispute.
John Demjanjuk Dies
17th Mar 2012
: John Demjanjuk , alleged Nazi collaborator, has died to provide DeathList 2012 with its second success of the year. Demjanjuk was born in Ukraine, but after being captured by the Germans in the war, allegedly became a guard at two extermination camps and was suspected of being the infamous "Ivan the Terrible". Demjanjuk was initially tried in Israel, where his conviction was overturned, and then again in Germany where he was convicted of being an accessory to 27,900 murders, for which he was sentenced to 5 year is prison, equivalent to about 1.5 hours detention for every offence. He died aged 91 while awaiting a new trial. Demjanjuk made 5 appearances on DeathList, being selected at number 34 in 2012.
Etta's not getting Betta
20th Jan 2012
: Soul/R&B singer, Etta James, has passed away after battling with leukaemia to put the first score on the board for DeathList 2012. James was most active in the 60's and 70's. Her career was boosted in 1975 as a result of one of her songs being used in a Coke commercial, after a decade of heroin addiction. She was 74 when she died. 2012 was her inaugural appearance on DeathList, with news of her poor condition securing her the top spot.

Unnatural - Natural History is an artistic exploration of an alternative world. It is a world where the dominant species are not human and natural objects are metamorphosed into unexpected and unnatural forms. A place in which genetic mutations and environmental pressure have altered the natural course of evolution.
Every piece in the show is for sale, with prices for original works starting at just £70. For details of each work including sales information, visit the Coates & Scarry website. The RWA shop is selling limited edition prints of some works, plus posters, bags, postcards, and a limited edition book by street artist, ROA. Call us on 0117 973 5129 for more information.
Chippy Coates, one half of Coates and Scarry says "We asked artists from around the world to explore the theme of "unnatural natural history" and the results are diverse and alluring. It's a blend of innovative art, creative ideas and lateral thinking." With this in mind, the exhibition looks to create a stir and stimulate rigorous discussion as to what can be considered natural.
For the 35 local and international artists exhibiting – some in the UK, or Bristol, for the first time – heightened environmental awareness has doubtlessly been influential in their work. One of the exceptional artists in the show, Kate MccGwire, who uses a powerful and challenging medium in itself creating otherworldly sculptural forms from feathers. MccGwire's incredible feathered installations have been shown across the world, but it's the first time the artist has been displayed in Bristol.
One artist included sure to provoke controversy is Erik Sandberg who portrays children with hairy faces and Bristol's famed preoccupation means that Belgian born and bred ROA will be a welcome addition to the community. His giant greyscale animals truly bring wit, skill and art to the urban device. Italian Marco Mazzoni weaves a world based on Italian folklore of mystical women who seduce, bewitch, curse and cure, complementing Bristol-based Rose Sanderson, who has made a name for herself adorning the stripped surfaces used by her painter and decorator father with butterflies and birds.
Previous Coates and Scarry exhibitions include collaborations with the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery on Art on the New World, 2010, and the Modern Fabulists group show, 2011, plus other international exhibitions.

AAR reports rail volumes are up for week ending January 1
January 07, 2011 - LM Editorial
Railroad traffic continued its steady gains for the post-holiday week ending January 1 on an annual basis, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume at 240,073 was up 5.6 percent year-over-year but down compared to the week ending December 25 at 256,098 and the week ending December 18 at 271,709. The AAR said that carload volume in the East was up 2.5 percent year-over-year. Out West, carloads were up 7.4 percent year-over-year.
Intermodal for the week ending January 1 saw 166,894 trailers and containers for an 11.9 percent increase over 2009, with containers—at 141,646—up 10.9 percent and trailers—at 25,248—up 18.1 percent.
And for all of 2010, the AAR reported that total originated carloads checked in at 14,820,128 for a 7.3 percent annual gain and a 10 percent decline from 2008. On the intermodal side, total 2010 traffic at 11,282,336 trailers and containers was up 14.2 percent over 2009 and down 1.9 percent compared to 2008.
"Rail traffic growth in 2010 is clearly a positive development, and reflects a growing economy as well as solid, dependable service on the part of the railroads," said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray in a statement. "However, this growth is certainly slower than any of us would like, and rail traffic still has a long way to go to full recovery."
Some industry analysts described fourth quarter rail traffic improvements as showing less growth than the third quarter on an annual basis, with a driver for this being favorable volumes of heavier carload freight and a more moderate decline in intermodal volume in the fourth quarter than what is typical seasonally, according to Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin.
Of the 19 carload commodities the AAR tracks, 16 were up during the last week of 2010. Some of the biggest gainers were metallic ores at 111.7 percent, lumber and wood products at 35.7 percent, and farm products, excluding grain, up 32.3 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week ending January 1 came in at 27.3 billion for a 6.6 percent annual gain. Total volume for all of 2010 at 1,644.8 billion ton-miles was up 8.5 percent year-over-year.

In-Plane Microwave Plasma
Application ID: 8664
Wave heated discharges may be very simple, where a plane wave is guided into a reactor using a waveguide, or very complicated as in the case with ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) reactors. In this example, a wave is launched into reactor and an Argon plasma is created. The wave is partially absorbed and reflected by the plasma which sustains the plasma.

One thing that struck me were the two white spots in the SEB. They were cleanly visible. I think the darker feature is a bit misplaced, but it was as good as I could place it. In the SEB, one can just see the leading GRS wake coming over the trailing limb and the tones of the SEB sweeping north toward the preceding limb.
Really, for the first time, I am beginning to see some faint tonal differences in the NEB toward the trailing northern edge. The "beacon" just stood out nicely. Not a lot of discernible rifts, however. (I think I misplaced the middle festoon, too. But, I have to stay true to my notes.)
On my notes, I noted a brighter spot in the NTrB. This belt had a darker, uneven, and thin northern boundary. A faint darker spot was noted near the NPR, and a partial faint belt in the STrZ.

Sting vs Bray Wyatt
A post on YouTube where WWE simulates a match between Sting and Bray Wyatt by using new action figures that they are trying to promote. Rumors have been floating around that this is a potential match that could take place at Wrestlemania in Dallas.
October 14, 2015
Wyatt Family vs Shield
One of the more conflicting Summerslam spoilers is the one involving Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Both teams are being pushed, so WWE is going to try to protect all the participants as much as possible. Since there are lingering rumors of a new Wyatt Family member being introduced, there are more leaning towards them picking up a tainted victory at the pay per view.
August 22, 2015
Wyatt Family at Payback
Rumors have surfaced that we could be seeing the Wyatt Family reunion take place at Payback tonight. WWE set up the story with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan over the last couple of weeks. Neither guy has a match on the pay per view, so this could be how they get utilized. A reunion would give Bray Wyatt more momentum, especially since fans have been wanting the trio back together. It also protects Ryback, who will likely take the loss tonight.
May 17, 2015
Erick Rowan and Luke Harper reunite
There was a point in time where Erick Rowan and Luke Harper were receiving some of the biggest reactions from the live audience. Now, the reaction is close to dead when they come out to the arena. Rumors have it that WWE will have them initially teaming up with one another to gauge how the fans will react to them. If the connection is still not strong, then the front office will consider putting them back together with Bray Wyatt.
May 9, 2015
Extreme Rules replacement match
WWE revealed that Daniel Bryan might not be healthy enough to work his scheduled match against Wade Barrett at Extreme Rules on Sunday night. A replacement match was being discussed, and rumors are now saying that it will be a match between Bray Wyatt and Ryback. If Bryan is healthy enough to work, then the pay per view proceeds as normal. Wyatt would then get his much needed big win at Payback the following month.
April 21, 2015
Luke Harper without beard
Rumors have surfaced that there was a point in time where WWE considered the possibility of having Luke Harper be without his beard. It was most likely around the time where the creative department decided to split him apart from Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan. Fortunately, the front office opted to not do the drastic gimmick change because it would have totally changed his character. A change in the future is still a possibility.

Wyatt challenging Undertaker
On the latest episode of Smackdown, Bray Wyatt cut a vague promo, and it has the entire internet wrestling community going into speculation mode. During the interview, he stated that he does not fear anyone, living or dead. That has led to rumors that WWE has started his highly anticipated and long rumored story line with the Undertaker. The two of them were reportedly penciled in for a match at Wrestlemania, pending the health of the Phenom.

By Jennifer Dobner
SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) – Same-sex marriages were allowed to proceed in Utah after a federal judge on Monday refused to block his own ruling making gay marriage legal in the state.
U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby, who ruled last week that Utah's ban on same-sex marriage violated the rights of gay couples to due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution, said the state had not met the legal standards required for him to issue a stay against his ruling.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert has already filed a formal notice signaling he would appeal the ruling, even as about 900 couples lined up in the cold early on Monday to obtain marriage licenses from the county clerk's office in Salt Lake City.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver was expected to rule as early as Monday on whether to halt same-sex marriages during the appeals process.
The appeals court has already refused twice to halt them, but Shelby's ruling Monday morning raises the issue again.
Last Friday, Utah became the 18th state to allow same-sex marriage.
Shelby ruled on a challenge by three gay couples to a state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman, deciding that Utah's ban on same-sex marriage violated the rights of gay couples to due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution.
"I am very disappointed an activist federal judge is attempting to override the will of the people of Utah," Herbert said in a statement after the ruling.
Advocates of gay marriage have won repeated victories in recent years as a growing portion of the American electorate has taken a more favorable view of same-sex relationships.
A year and a half ago, just six states and the District of Columbia recognized same-sex unions.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark victory for gay rights by overturning a federal law that barred federal benefits for same-sex marriages in states where such marriages are legal.
On Thursday, the New Mexico Supreme Court decided to allow same-sex marriage across the state. In November, the governors of Hawaii and Illinois signed legislation to legalize same-sex weddings.
