U.S. security: only as strong as its weakest leak
(Page 2 of 3)
I realize that good security may compromise my privacy, but the peace and safety of my home and family are more important. The uncomfortable areas in the surveillance-vs.-privacy debate are the boundary lines: Who decides how many records to seize, which people to follow, what emails to read? There will never be clear lines. The best to hope for is to elect and hire responsible people who will create checks and balances within the government. We citizens are in the unfortunate position of having to trust security experts to do the right thing on our behalf, gathering only appropriate information and using it in the interest of public safety.
Clearly, Edward Snowden does not fit that job description.
The depth and details of our government's surveillance programs have, of course, remained a secret until now. That seems obvious and necessary. To know the details is to find a way through the electronic fences and technological gates. As bitter experience has demonstrated, the bad guys only have to be right once. We and our government security programs have to be right and tight all the time.
I understand the risks involved in allowing our government to look into our lives, and I feel deep concern about the possibility of elected officials or agencies using private information for political or private gain. But 9/11 changed all the rules. We can't relax surveillance; there are too many people committed to fanatical ideals and violent methods, too many people dedicated to our destruction.
Security agencies must do their jobs behind a veil of secrecy. Congress and the public should be informed about anything that would not compromise security. By definition, that means there will never be complete government transparency. It's a lousy deal, but the only deal that makes sense.
As for Snowden, who speaks as if he has been anointed and appointed savior of our democracy, I think he should be charged and tried for his actions, for violating the oaths he took and for releasing secret information that may give aid to our enemies.

Would be very glad if I could get my second question answered.
Zinnin you were a bit too fast with answering and missed my edit.

Got it, cus I was always annoyed that I couldn't go back into meta, so it was a bit of a loss/loss scenario cus if I did went in I felt like all I could do was lose that yummy stacked up pandemic corruption .
What do you mean with this "once you see that it is at 2 stacks you can leave meta."? Will it specifically indicate when it's buffed from meta?
Blizzard QA (My views are my own and not Blizzard's)
Ah yeah, my bad. Forgot that HoG had a travel time. <.<
I'm good for now, I think... Gotta do more practice on dummys when server's back up. Just gotta nail it all down so I can bring it into raidz, demo certainly is a challenging spec to min-max. tyvm
Hi guys, I am going to change my main spec to demonology for the 5.2 patch , and I have a question
How is the correct way to dps a boss with less than 20% of life
I know that using soul fire instead of shadow bolt as a filler is part of the rotation in this phase, but if I have enough Demonic Fury to use metamorphosys what would be the rotation in this final part?
a)Using touch of chaos
b)Using soul fire while demon form (even if it consume more fury than using touch of chaos)
***Sorry for my english, is not my native language
If the boss is gonna dying and you have enough fury... I recommend you to use soulfire in demon form. But, it´s only my opinion...
Suggestion: Take a look Zinnin´s guide in main page! It´s very helpfull!

Ok thanks for the answers
In your guide you recommend dumping fury only (Making an assumption you meant 'only' here as the cooldown is so short it I can't think why you wouldn't wait for dark soul) during dark soul with T14 4pc. If you have the 4pc + synapse strings would it be optimal to delay using synapse strings on cooldown and instead wait and use it with dark soul?
The negatives I can think of for using synapse strings and dark soul off cooldown separately is that you would have little to no fury left for dark soul after using it with synapse strings already so it would be a waste of a dark soul. Also, if you waited your stacking more cooldowns but I'm not sure how much of a dps loss it is to delay using synapse strings on cooldown. If anyone has the done the math or knows the answer with proof I'd love to see it.
My work | Requests: Closed
Blizzard QA (My views are my own and not Blizzard's)
I decided to give Demo a try for Heroic Lei Shi and could use some advice. We got Lei Shi down to less than 20% a few times on Sunday and I figured more mobile dps during Get Away might be enough to help get the kill.
Given the rng of this fight (e.g. getting a hide and add phase before get away) I am not sure the best way to use cool downs such as wild imps or whether to use GServ or GSup. I am also thinking of using Glyph of demon training/soul link to help absorb the SF dot damage. I also think Soul Leech is the best tier 1 talent to help offset the scary fog damage.
My assumption is that we want to have enough DF for ToC spamming during Get Away and we want our big cool downs ready for when our scary fog stackers get to 10/20 stacks. By the way, we are using a 3 person SF rotation. We have a DK stacking to 20 (he also grips one of the add to himself during the add phase). Me and another dps are alternating getting 10 stacks of SF.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

AG-ed jeans combine the laid-back look of yesteryear with AG's jean making expertise of now. Updated with modern fabrics and styled with flattering fits, AG-ed denim is an ode to vintage, emulating naturally aged denim ranging from 1 to 30 years old. From subtle rips to crafty patches, the higher the number, the lighter and more distressed the jean. A pair of AG-ed jeans is as close as you can get to that unique vintage flea market find. Relaxed straight. A relaxed, straight leg jean that is fitted in the hip and gives way to a loose leg. With its easygoing profile, this dark blue 5-pocket jean is a chic addition to the casual wardrobe. The 10 Years Santa Ana wash is broken down by fading through the thigh and seat, whiskering at hip, and subtle wear pattern at back knee. Contrast stitching. Zip fly with single-button closure.

Pasco County, Florida (WTSP/USA TODAY) -- No bond. That's the ruling from Judge Pat Siracusa at the bond hearing for Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa Police captain who fatally shot a theatergoer in a confrontation over texting.
On Friday, the judge heard arguments from both sides to determine if Reeves should receive bond.
Reeves, 71, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Chad Oulson. If convicted, he could face at least 25 years imprisonment.
The big moment at Friday's hearing was the court being shown the surveillance video of the altercation between Reeves and Oulson followed by the shooting. While only Reeves is visible in the video it shows part of what happened on Jan. 13 at the Cobb Grove 16 theater.
10 News' management reviewed the video and decided to air it in newscasts and post it on wtsp.com. In keeping with our 10 News crime guidelines, reasons for our decision include the victim is not seen in the video and the video provides a unique perspective and helps the public understand what happened inside the theater at the moment central to the case.
At one point in the video, Reeves can be seen returning to his seat, and it appears an exchange takes place. Video then shows what the defense claims is Oulson's cell phone being thrown at Reeves just before an arm -- assumed to be Oulson's -- grabs Reeves' popcorn and throws it at him. Shortly after that, Reeves reaches in his front pocket, pulls out a gun, and shoots Oulson.
Chad Oulson's widow Nicole sat in the courtroom for more than 30 minutes listening audio interviews of Curtis Reeves minutes after her husband was shot.
The state introduced two audio recordings into the court Friday morning. One was between Detective Allen Proctor and Reeves just minutes after the incident and the other was between Detective Proctor and Reeves' wife.
"There is no justification for what happened in there. If I had it to do over again, it would have never happened," Curtis Reeves told Pasco County sheriff's detectives in the taped interview hours after the shooting. "But you don't get do-overs."
Reeves claimed that he shot Oulson because he was confrontational and began threatening him. "If I wasn't afraid of getting beat up, I would have never pulled a pistol," he said. "I was defending myself."
Judge Siracusa also heard a tape from Oulson's widow, Nicole, interviewed at a hospital after being shot in the hand by the same bullet that killed her 43-year-old husband.
"He kept saying stuff to my husband," Nicole Oulson said on the recording. "Immediately it didn't even register with me, I just saw a spark and saw him go down."
Oulson said she didn't hear any threats between the two men leading up to the shooting.
She said after the shooting, Reeves "just sat in his chair, he just kind of leaned back and just sat there, didn't try to help."
Authorities said Reeves became upset when Oulson, sitting in front of Reeves, was texting during movie previews. It was later learned that Oulson was texting his daughter's babysitter.
Witnesses said they didn't see Oulson hit Reeves, but some saw popcorn flying toward him.
"This happened so damn fast," Reeves told Detective Allen Proctor in the recording.
Reeves' wife, Vivian, also told detectives that Oulson used expletives, but didn't make any threats. She said he stood up and turned around, leaning over toward Reeves.
During a long law enforcement career, Reeves "never shot anybody," his wife said. "He's never threatened anybody with a gun."

Nov 10, 2011 | By Shannon Hughes
In the Center for American Progress's blog, Jake Paysour examines the shared priorities of the #Occupy, or OWS, movement and the note released by the vatican late in October. He notes the moral nature of our economic crisis, writing:
Although the Occupy movement did not begin as a religious effort, at heart it is a moral enterprise, based on the premise that it is unjust for our national economic sacrifices and rewards to be so unfairly distributed. The richest 1 percent of Americans own 40 percent of our country's wealth and take home nearly a quarter of national income—a higher percentage than at any time since the 1920s.
Paysour cites several vatican statements regarding the undeniable link between moral and economic systems, and notes:
Over the decades, a number of Catholic social justice groups translated these words into action. NETWORK, a Catholic advocacy group founded in 1971, is running a campaign that encourages people to "Mind the Gap," referring to the wealth gap between the richest and poorest. By educating the electorate and lobbying political leaders, they aim to help shape policies that decrease poverty and build up the middle class. Other issues they work on include the social safety net, unemployment, and inadequate housing—all very much concerns addressed by the Vatican note.

I'm still a noob at this whole AutoREALM thing, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to convert my finished map into a file that Photoshop will let me upload. Please help.
I'm still a noob at this whole AutoREALM thing, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to convert my finished map into a file that Photoshop will let me upload. Please help.
you should be able to choose "save as", you can do .bmp or .jpg that way.
I've been saving mine as a .jpg files to work with them in Gimp, using the colors i chose for features in autorealm to replace them using techniques from the tutorials here.
For what it's worth, you might be better off exporting from AutoREALM as .bmp. Jpeg is a lossy compression format, so immediately when you save, you're losing information and degrading the quality of your image. It may not be obvious to the eye, but as you start to process it, it will become apparent. Also, if you open a jpeg, work on it a bit, and save out as a jpeg again, you're losing even more information. You should only use jpeg for your finalized export to upload to the web.
Of course, if you're throwing away all the pixels from AutoREALM (just using them as masks or something), it doesn't matter as much, and you can save hard drive space with the compressed format.
If you want more information, I posted a guide to export formats some time ago. Come to think of it, that could probably do with an update.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Yes, jpg makes no sense. I always convert AR files to bmp.
This is also why you are better off to limit the size of AR files - as in you create a world, do the continents one by one and then later put them together in another gfx program. I managed to crash my comp while trying to convert a whole world to bmp
as far as my stuff goes, yep using them as masks, taking a workable size chunk, say 1024x768, working on them in Gimp using some of the techniques from here and then matching them to the AR map as overlays.
Thanks for the advice about .jpg loss, i'll use .bmp untill i'm happy with the gimp results from now on. As far as crashing i suppose my method won't cause i'm doing sections, dunno yet how its going to work when i get into placing alot of finished overlays onto the AR map, if it crashes i'll limit that.
The original reason i chose AR was the ability to use the distance ruler and pan in and out, any idea what the map file size limit is? If i do as suggested and only overlay a finished .jpg image into AR of each section.
I had expected the problem to be matching the sections when i place them into AR, hadn't come to that yet since I haven't done adjacent sections yet. I had hoped doing it this way would lend consistency to any pretty map i might make from the AR maps I planned to use for DM materials.
My ultimate goal is maintaining the heightfields generated from the technigues here and in Wilbur for NWN2 areas while being able to produce decent maps for the server website and planning maps via AR.

WASHINGTON – The start of a new school year means a lot of kids are heading off to the playing field.
Injuries from torn tendons to concussions are a big worry for parents and coaches alike. But one local school district is getting national recognition for its commitment to the safety of its student athletes.
All 25 of the public high schools in Fairfax County have won the "Safe Sports School Award" from the National Athletic Trainers Association.
John Reynolds, administrator for the school system's training program, says they were cited for their commitment to the health and safety of students taking part in sports.
Fairfax has long been a national leader in placing athletic trainers at its schools.
"We have been able to provide these services for going on 30 years now, so that's unique," says Reynolds.
The first trainers were hired in the 1970s. By the early 1980s, there was one trainer in every Fairfax public high school. Today, each high school has two trainers.
These trainers provide evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation services on a daily basis. The school district has also instituted a concussion management program that includes a focus on facilitating an injured student's return to the classroom.
Sports safety programs are not quite the norm yet in all the nation's schools. Reynolds estimates that about 40 percent or so of the high schools across the country have access to an athletic trainer. He says in Virginia, about 70 to 74 percent of schools have access to a trainer.

Influencer: David Biggs
David Biggs, P.E., S.E. of Biggs Consulting Engineering invites masonry product producers to join the National Building Information Modeling for Masonry Initiative, to be sure they have a place at the table, when this industry-changing technology goes into effect.
Courtesy of David Biggs
David Biggs (fifth from the left), spoke at the North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association's annual meeting in March 2012. This was the first contractor's association to provide volunteer assistance and funding for the BIM-M project.
Graduate students brainstorm in the BIM Bullpen at Georgia Tech. The students, led by Russell Gentry, project manager, and Charles Eastman, technical adviser, will do most of the legwork in carrying out the road map for BIM-M development.
Russell Gentry/Georgia Institute of Technology
When David Biggs was asked to help develop Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for masonry, he jumped at the opportunity. As an engineer, he knew masonry was underrepresented in BIM systems.
Although he is one of many committed to the effort, Biggs is a uniquely qualified, impartial coordinator of the Building Information Modeling for Masonry Initiative, known as BIM-M. The structural engineer co-founded Ryan-Biggs Associates in 1978, later founded Biggs Consulting Engineering in 2010, and is technical director for Constructive LLC, a masonry systems development company.
As an expert in forensic engineering, masonry design, and restoration, Biggs lectures internationally. He consults on high-profile jobs, including the restoration of 8th and 9th century B.C. structures in Turkey, and structural investigation at the World Trade Center collapse.
Biggs was named a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2005, Honorary Member of The Masonry Society in 2008, and Fellow of both the Structural Engineering Institute and ACI in 2012.
However, Biggs is humble about his role in what he considers "a very positive unifying project for the masonry industry." As the BIM-M masonry industry coordinator, he is the link between the Executive Committee and affiliated sponsors, consultants, project managers, and funding organizations. Biggs credits the early success of BIM-M to the Executive Committee's support and cooperation.
"Industry leaders understand the importance of working together in this effort," he says. With new BIM software still under development, "we're in a great position to get masonry in the mix."
The group formed in 2012 to secure a spot for masonry in the world of BIM. The plan involves a series of projects that will prepare the technical (software) foundation for BIM, as well as tools to implement BIM processes.
Brick Industry Association
International Masonry Institute
International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers
Mason Contractors Association of America
National Concrete Masonry Association
The Masonry Society
Western States Clay Products Association
A group of Affiliated Members has also made significant contributions, including technical support by 15 masonry groups.
Students at Georgia Institute of Technology's Digital Building Laboratory (DBL) will conduct most of the legwork in carrying out each phase. Their work will be led by Russell Gentry, associate professor at the School of Architecture, and Charles Eastman, professor and DBL director. Eastman is known as the Father of BIM for his work since the 1970s, and is chief author of the BIM Handbook.
The initiative's second phase is gathering input from masonry contractors and producers. Contractors share pain points, from product selection and bidding to project execution. Brick, block, cast stone, and natural stone producers provide product information, including sizes, shapes, properties, and colors.
Biggs envisions creating an online database that links to BIM software, into which manufacturers can upload product information. "This will be where the new generation of designers get their product information," he says. "If you don't give it to them digitally, you may be kept out of the design process."
In Phase III, BIM software developers implement the masonry-specific information into their programs. Phase IV involves software specification, contractor training, and the beginning phases of masonry architectural design to make BIM for masonry a reality. The Executive Committee hopes to complete the first generation of the project in 2017.
Biggs encourages producers to get involved. "We want everyone to have a voice, and make sure their needs are represented in the final product," he says.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Aaron Sorkin's drama series "The Newsroom" about a chaotic cable TV newsroom will end after its upcoming third season, Time Warner Inc-owned HBO said on Monday.
The series, created by Oscar-winning screenwriter Sorkin, integrated real-life current events and political issues into its storylines of a fictional TV news team which has to balance the pressures of reporting with that of ratings and sponsors.
Unlike Sorkin's Emmy-winning White House drama "The West Wing," "The Newsroom" failed to earn high praise and was targeted by critics for its sanctimonious portrayal of news.
Star Jeff Daniels, who plays gruff news anchor Will McAvoy, won an Emmy this year for best actor in a drama series, but the series' first season received only three Emmy nominations in total, including Jane Fonda for best guest actress in a drama series and best main title design.
The final season is scheduled to premiere this fall.
The news comes just days after HBO announced "Boardwalk Empire" will end this year after five seasons.

For financial advisers who specialize in 401(k) plans, a successful participant outcome is the end goal. Defining exactly what success is needs some rethinking, however.
That was the conclusion reached by the finalists chosen for the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries' 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award.
Plan Sponsor Advisors LLC, a Chicago-based registered investment advisory shop with $18.1 billion in assets under advisement, took home the award this year.
The other two finalists were Greenspring Wealth Management Inc. of Towson, Md., and Retirement Resources Investment Corp. of Peabody, Mass.
Advisers at the firms noted that while investments within a plan may seem to be a pivotal factor to a client's success, it's really the heavy lifting of participant involvement that drives positive outcomes.
"There's a recognition that plan sponsors need to move beyond the traditional measures of what they use to measure success," said Don Stone, managing partner and chief investment officer at Plan Sponsor Advisors.
Participation rates, for instance, are a commonly cited measure of success, but that doesn't mean much if workers are deferring only 3 percent of their salary. That's the point that advisers need to get across to employees, he added.
Jim Phillips, president of Retirement Resources Investment Corp., agrees. "A summation of what we're talking about is to take participants and make them into good decision makers," he said.
Phillips noted that education and risk profiling for participants can go a long way toward getting them to understand the adverse impact of making impulsive investment decisions. As workers are contributing to their plans, they should consider whether the investment mix they have is still appropriate, and continue evaluating that into retirement.
Joshua Itzoe, partner and managing director at Greenspring, said that plan sponsors these days are expecting more from financial advisers who are fiduciaries to plans. Fee disclosure will require even fiduciary advisers to step up their game and provide more services to retirement plans.
For Itzoe's firm, that means spending a lot of time on benchmarking, governance and helping retirement plan clients with compliance issues.
"Successful advisers need to show why they're qualified," he said. "The key is going to be service delivery and helping clients with areas that are outside the normal scope."

CPSC staff participates as a non-voting member on Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standards Technical Panel (STP) for UL 2201 Portable Engine-Generator Assemblies, which UL issued as a standard in March 2009. Staff's primary interest is to reduce the carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard associated with this product. As of June 2010, the CPSC databases contain records of at least 542 deaths from CO poisoning associated with consumers' use of generators in the period from 1999 through 2009.
Staff recommends that requirements be developed to address consumer exposure to unsafe CO emissions. Staff also advocates the establishment of requirements for safe outdoor use of generators in rain or other wet conditions, to reduce the potential risk of shock or electrocution and to help reduce the incidence of consumers improperly using generators in indoor locations. UL 2201 currently has requirements for rainproof enclosures, weather-resistant and weather-protected receptacles, and ground-fault circuit-interrupters on 125-volt AC output circuits.

Tampa, Florida -- A linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was arrested overnight.
Arrest records show 23-year-old Geno Hayes faces charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Hayes was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. Monday and bonded out a short time later.
According to Tampa Police, the incident happened at the Blue Martini Lounge at International Plaza in Tampa.
Hayes reportedly intervened after a confrontation between two disruptive men who were refused to be let inside by club security. Police and security eventually had the two men leave and instructed Hayes to return inside the lounge.
However, officials say Hayes stood at the entrance of the bar, making derogatory comments at security and police. Due to Hayes' continued disorderly behavior, he was also advised to leave the establishment.
Hayes reportedly refused and was escorted to the parking lot by a police officer, and advised not to return or risk arrest.
About 10 minutes later, Hayes returned claiming he left his credit card behind. Hayes was directed to have a seat at a nearby store while his friend retrieved the credit card. Hayes refused to leave the Blue Martini in spite of numerous advisories by uniformed police.
Bar employees reported Hayes was stating, "B**** a** cop. You ain't gonna do nothing. I ain't leaving. I don't have to leave."
Police say Hayes then became combative, and an officer deployed a Taser, which was ineffective on the football player, due to his thick clothing. Hayes was eventually tackled and handcuffed.
Hayes is charged with one count of Trespass after Warning, and one count of Disorderly Conduct.
The Florida State graduate is currently in his third season with the Bucs.

Where would you guys suggest is the best restroom to hunker into on campus and take a nice dump? I'm in the library right now so that would be easiest accessibility but I'm willing to listen to other alternatives...
I take it this is not an emergency?
"Me not winning isn't important. You do!"
I prefer the stately porcelain thrones and massive marble dividers of the Memorial Union.
All truisms are false. All of them.
Potential, this thread has it.

Not necessarily. It's one of those that lets you be the decider of when it's coming out.

Gerdin. Ground floor right across from the elevator.
I believe Physics has some cans that have never been updated. Something nostalgic about crapping on, what appeared to be, an 80+ year old toilet.
In the New building attached to Design that the Architects use, no one is ever in there.
I'd say just in one of the library tiers, just right in the middle.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.

In all honesty, I make it a point to not poop in public bathrooms that aren't single occupancy with a lock.
go up 4 or 5 floors in ross. Thank me later.

Solid choice, otherwise it was always pretty quiet in the basement of Howe.

What a shame, that was a solid option. If you like Gerdin, head up to the thrid floor. It is mostly prof and grad student offices up there, so the crapper usually isn't too busy.
I was also a fan of the basement of Howe. The ones that are basically under the auditorium were always good, since they aren't really close to anything at all. There is a second set in the middle of the basement back by some of the labs, that isn't bad either.

Video: Water Selling Out Fast After Failing Main News
Video: Failing Main Means Water Shortage For Thousands
Video: No Water For Parts Of Prince George's County
Video: Thousands Of People In Md. To Go Without Water
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (WUSA9) -- We have learned mandatory water restrictions will begin at 9 p.m. Tuesday in Prince George's County areas affected by a failing water main.
Officials say a significant portion of Prince George's County will be left without water for several days. The issue is due to a 54 inch water main that is beginning to fail and must be replaced.
The water main is set up with an acoustic monitoring system that can hear breaks in the pipe. WSSC says one more wire inside the pipeline broke overnight, however, the road to the pipe was finished overnight.
If you are wondering what a worst case scenario looks like, last time WUSA9 was at a water main break with this kind of same potential, it was March, along Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase. Water gushed as high as 30 feet, taking down trees and power lines, and adding to an already big inconvenience.
"Residents who live in the affected area, shown in red on the interactive map are being encouraged to stock up on water in preparation for loss of service during repair of the pipe. Mandatory water conservation for people in the affected areas will likely be imposed tomorrow afternoon," officials said in a news release.
The affected areas include Morningside, Hillcrest Heights, Camp Springs, Forest Heights, Temple Hills and Oxon Hill. Joint Base Andrews and the National Harbor are also impacted by the failing water main.
Interactive map of the affected area:
Officials advise resident to start stocking up with water and fill tubs. At 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, customers at a Safeway we visited said the store was running really low on bottled water. Managers there said more shipments were on the way.
Group Food & Friends says it will donate 1,000 gallons of water to clients in the area who will be without water. Each of the nearly 100 clients will get 2.5 gallons of water starting Wednesday morning, says Food & Friends. The group normally delivers meals to children and adults facing HIV/AIDS, cancer and other ilnesses.
A spokesperson with the Prince George's County Office of Emergency Management said no hospitals are affected.
The National Children's Museum will be closed Wednesday through Friday due to the water restriction. The museum will not have water or HVAC service while the pipe is being repaired. Museum officials expect it will reopen on Saturday at 10 a.m. if water is restored to the county.
Joint Base Andrews will continue mission-essential operations only and are working towards ensuring the employees and residents of the Base with portable water, they said in a press release.
WSSC says they know this is a huge inconvenience, especially with the heat outside, but that's why they want to get the word out. If you know someone who lives in the area, especially the elderly, call them and tell them.

MEEKER - Three lucky young hunters, including a Rifle youth, bagged their first turkeys after being selected to participate in Colorado Parks and Wildlife's 2012 Hunter Outreach Program's Youth Turkey Hunt. The trio found success after spending some chilly, late April weekends enjoying a private land hunt and learning hunting strategies from Colorado Parks and Wildlife mentors.
Tagerty Poole, 10, of Rifle; Henry Musser, 10, of Meeker; and Antoinette Dorris, 13, of Rangely, were selected from a group of novice youth hunters that had recently completed their hunter education classes.
"To see the smiles on their faces and the fun they were having was fantastic," said District Wildlife Manager Bailey Franklin, who coordinates the turkey hunt each year. "It's truly a highlight of my career as a Colorado game warden."
The focus of the Hunter Outreach Program is to pair young hunters with experienced veterans to help build knowledge and confidence, which is critical for beginning hunters. District Wildlife Managers Jon Wangnild, Mike Swaro and Terry Wygant were the primary guides for the youth participants again this year. They taught the youngsters various hunting techniques, including the use of calls to locate "gobblers" and how to identify turkey sign in the field.
Hunting access was provided by the Jensen Family Ranch properties.
To ensure they received the best information and training, the aspiring turkey hunters were required to go through an additional half-day orientation where they learned more about hunter safety and ethics, state laws, wild turkey biology and hunting techniques
They received additional firearm training at the Meeker Sportsman's Club shooting range, where they honed their shotgun shooting skills.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife loaned the young hunters youth model shotguns and turkey hunting equipment to participants that did not already have their own. The kids also received hunting gear, prizes and food for the hunt.
After successfully harvesting their mature gobblers, the youngsters learned how to properly field dress and care for their birds.
Although turkey hunting has seen a rapid growth in popularity across the country, the overall number of hunters and anglers nationwide has declined every year since 1990, according to research conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The reasons include a lack of places to hunt and fish, busy lifestyles and a lack of mentorship from an older, experienced hunter.
The Hunter Outreach Program provides skills seminars, clinics, mentored hunts and online articles and information as a means to encourage the public to learn and apply their new skills.

Mobile living might not be for everyone - but those adventurous enough to give it a shot. Living Is.be has crafted a fully-functional living space within the bed or a truck.
Two hatch skylights provide natural ventilation and allow sun to illuminate the interior. A double bed was installed at the rear of the truck allowing two adults to sleep comfortably. Running water is not only used in a functioning sink, but is also used in a sunken shower that was placed directly behind the cab of the truck. A kitchen stove ensures meals can be prepared - whether driving through an urban area or traversing rugged terrain. By Andrew J Wiener.

To the editor:
Well, there goes open government. The county commissioners sure pulled a sneak attack when changing the distribution of taxes. The day of their meeting, The Daily News had the normal article announcing it. In the announcement, I believe it stated the commissioners were going to �discuss� distribution of taxes. There was no mention of them planning to change the distribution method.
I�ve been told that some of the commissioners were surprised when the motion was made to change the method of distribution. I wonder if some backroom agreements were made because it doesn�t make sense changing something that seemed to be working. Apparently, it was a done deal.
I�m not sure how this will affect us Jacksonville residents, but I�m sure we will lose services or have a tax increase or both. I voted for these three individuals during the last election. Apparently more Jacksonville voters did too. It�s a pity that the three didn�t consider the welfare of Jacksonville, which constitutes a majority of residents.
I�ll tell you what I did: I cut out the three names from The Daily News article announcing the change and put the clipping in my wallet. That way, when I go to vote next time, I�ll know whom not to vote for.
I will send a letter to the editor before the next election to remind voters that the three apparently don�t have Jacksonville�s welfare on their agenda.
I have another bone to pick with the county commissioners: Their justification for building in Burton Park was because they were leasing and renting many office spaces, and it would be financially beneficial to build instead of leasing. Now they come up with a scheme to have a contractor build a structure then lease it from them. Their justification was the federal government was going to pay a percentage of the lease cost. Well, with the current deficit and budget shortfalls, how long do you think the government will continue to pay the percentage? It will just take a stroke of the pen to cancel the federal government�s involvement and place the whole burden on the county.
Of course it won�t affect three of the current commissioners (except to possibly pay higher taxes) because they aren�t going to be re-elected.

text: Jordan this is my two cents. Start out with two or three day trips into the backcountry. The important aspect of hunting in the bush is your equipment. Each hunter has to figure out what system and equipment for backpacking works for him. No one uses the same backpacking gear including packs, tents, stoves, and layering clothing. So by taking short trips you begin to evaluate and fine-tune your backcountry equipment. You learn where and how to build a camp. Most importantly you'll handle living with bad weather in the backcountry. Also starting out if some gear fails, your only hours from the trailhead. The biggest mistake first time backcountry hunters' make is packing heavy. Lugging around stuff they don't need to make a bush camp. A great book for learning about backcountry gear is David Longs "Public Land Mulies" the bottom line. He has a whole section on backpacking light. No one solo hunts any harder or longer in the high country as David. The book is a good starting point. Let us know how you do and Good Luck! Mike

Adva endorses ODIN
Following IBM's announcement this past week at InterOp, there has been a surge of interest in the recently proposed Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN) technical briefs. I'm pleased to report that Adva Optical Networking, a leading wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) company specializing in WAN transport, has endorsed the ODIN approach on their blog. There's never been a better opportunity for cloud data centers to get in on the ground floor by designing their next generation networks around the best practices and open industry standards referenced in ODIN. We appreciate Adva's support of this direction, and look forward to working with leading industry networking companies to implement the ODIN design recommendations in modern data center networks.

Video: Sparkle and Shine and Stilettos Rule the Inaugural Ball
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- From sparkle and shine to pops of color to basic black, ladies owned the 2013 inaugural ball.
But just ask them who they are wearing, and you might not get a definitive answer.
Daisy Cruz of Southwest D.C. didn't know either. "I didn't have a dress. this is my first time going to a ball so I went to every mall to try and find something." She ended up shining in a red mermaid gown.
She wasn't the only one. Arndreya Price of Bowie, MD sparkled in a black and white one, "I love mermaid gowns because they definitely make the waist look a lot smaller than it really is."
Harrison showed off her sparkly earrings to us, "I like the glitz and glitter so I just found something that was really sparkly that would help bring the dress out."
One woman caught our eye from across the hall. She was decked out in a lime green dress, hat and shoes. We asked her how she selected her outfit, "I just chose this color and apparently its working for me."
We didn't want to focus on just men, so we looked high and low for a man whose fashion stood out. We found just that with Warren Mackie-Jenkins of Georgetown. "I wore the suspenders, the ruffled shirt, the red socks, the red scarf."

Mopars At The Strip - Project BuildWritten by John McGann on September 20, 2007 Can We Buy And Build A Car From Parts At A Single Swap Meet?
"We need a Mopar project car." Those words have been tossed around our offices quite a bit lately. And why not? We've been working to shed the Camaro Craft image with Buick engine builds, our '64 Oldsmobile and '67 Mustang project cars, and the CC/Rambler. We'd pretty much have all the bases covered if we had something with a Pentastar on it to thrash on.
With that in mind, we're always on the prowl for a suitable Mopar project car. The problem is, so is everyone else. And when demand exceeds supply, prices go through the roof. Fueled in part by televised musclecar auctions and wealthy, retiring baby boomers looking for ways to spend their children's inheritance, the demand for musclecars in general has never been greater, and the cars most people seem to want wear Plymouth badges.
Hemi 'Cudas are sweet cars, don't get us wrong, but the feeding frenzy they have spawned at auction makes most E-Bodies untouchable to the average dude. Combine that with renewed interest in Chargers, thanks to the dopey Dukes of Hazzard movie remake, and you'll practically need a home equity line of credit to get your hands on Mopar muscle.
Nonetheless, a car show can make you dizzy with desire to spend money you don't have on something you've just gotta get. Eyeing up the rows of gleaming Challengers, Chargers, Road Runners, 'Cudas, Valiants, and Darts in the show car section at the Mopars at the Strip show had us drooling for a new set of wheels. And there were several guys looking to make a deal out in the car corral and swap meet area, which got us thinking: Is it possible to buy a car and all the parts to put it together in the span of three days at a single car show? Well, we set out to do just that. In theory, at least.
Anyone Got A Roller?
Everyone will tell you to start with the best foundation possible. Unfortunately, we were on a tight budget, so even the cars with a little paint left on them cost more than we were willing to spend. Besides, this being Car Craft, we don't mind getting dirty building the car from the ground up. If it has a drivetrain in it, that's just an added bonus-who cares if it runs or not? So we went looking for a shell.
What's Left?
We didn't see any good used quarters at the swap meet, but both Goodmark and Year One were in the vendor area selling new reproduction pieces for about $250 each. New front and rear bumpers would total $520. We also spotted lots of brake system and exhaust parts in the swap meet area. So all that was left was to put the car together and paint it. If you've been keeping track, the running total for the car and parts we illustrated is roughly $25,000*. It's a safe bet to factor in an additional $10,000 for wheels, tires, and miscellaneous odds and ends, giving you a complete, rust-free, and running Barracuda for about $35,000-a lot less than what you'd pay for one at an auction. Add about $10,000 more for a paint job, and it's still a bargain compared to auction-house prices. That figure is less than the cost of many new cars, too-plus you can say you built it yourself.
So did we pull it off? Sort of. While we didn't actually buy a car or any parts, we did illustrate that it is possible to go to a show and build a car using what's available on the premises that weekend. And people told us that Mopars at the Strip was one of the medium-sized shows-that Spring Fling and the Mopar show at Carlisle are bigger and have more vendors for new and used parts, so building a car from scratch at one of those shows would be easy. Maybe we'll do it for real next time. End

Doug Meeker also was able to dig up several other parts we needed. He said he'd take $500 for this dashboard assembly complete with gauges even though the marked price was $800. He also had door panels and seatbacks for $10 each. Doug, who works for Raytheon developing things for the military that explode, says he does this for fun: "I love old Mopars, and I like collecting and selling parts at the different shows."Doug Meeker from Reston, Virginia, had a valance in good shape for $75. He also had E-Body door glass on sale for $150. Doug says that the best prices are available on the last day of a show when vendors want to unload as many of their unsold parts as possible. If you wait till Sunday, however, you risk having your parts bought out from under you.The car's core support was badly munched and the valance was completely gone, likely due to a transporter malfunction, but we managed to find both pieces in good condition a few feet from each other. Mike Divine from Phoenix West Parts out of Fresno, California, had this core support for sale for $175. We didn't haggle, 'cause he looked like he could beat us up and take our lunch money.Finding mechanical parts turned out to be easier than we thought. Need a water pump, pulleys, and a brake booster? Take your pick. How about a fully assembled 440 complete with air cleaner?Darryl Finch specializes in Mopar E-Bodies and was selling this running engine for $5,000. He had a bunch of transmissions, too.
Mopars by Crane carried a front suspension rebuild kit, plus a wiring harness, weatherstripping, trim screws, and those cool, rectangular 'Cuda exhaust tips.One thing we couldn't find was a headliner. Sarah told us she carried them for $60 but had sold out of them already.

ATLANTA -- Gov. Nathan Deal will not appoint a panel to examine whether to remove Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill from office.
Hill took office New Year's Day. Clayton County voters elected Hill in spite of a felony indictment related to alleged corruption during his first term in office, which ended four years ago.
In a news release, Deal's office says the governor "has concluded that the law outlining the procedures for the suspension of public officials under indictment applies only to officials indicted while holding their elected office." Hill was indicted February 29, 2012. Hill was out of office at that time.
"I just don't understand," said Putnam County sheriff Howard Sills, president of the Georgia Sheriffs Association. The association had called for Deal to appoint the panel "to assure the integrity of the office of sheriff," Sills said.
The indictment "had to do with him being a public official. He's a public official now. And it's the same office," Sills told 11Alive News.
"The governor's attorney's interpretation of the statute is incorrect," Sills said. However, Sills said the Sheriff's Association will not challenge the Governor's decision.
