Just yesterday I was just looking at my brother-in-law's new acquisition, a 7.62 chambered Tok. Nice design and workmanship, reminiscent of the Colt 1903/1908 in appearance. One could do well with the same design in 9mm.

If you're a classic military gun buff like I am, this pistol will likely float your boat. If you're in the market for an affordable, reliable, well made 9mm pistol that costs less than $290 for personal defense you might want to consider picking one of these handguns up and giving it a try.
I'm talking about the Zastava M70A Tokarev imported from Serbia by Century Arms.

Why such a low capacity on that gun?
I carried an Egyptian version for a few years. The best thing about them is that they are only about a 1/2" thick! For a full sized gun it just disapeared into the waist band. And was very comfortable to carry. Mine was very relieable, and accurate. The only down side is you will have to make or have custom made holsters for it. DR
Another great option would be a SCCY CPX-2 (or 1 if you want an external safety) for the same price +/-.

Thanks for your reply. Honestly, I dont buy that stuff about "you only need X number of rounds".
Im not saying you are wrong, or that I am right. But the more I see and read about shootings, the more I get behind more rounds available, not less.
Btw, I see that you have a military arms channel. Perhaps you could answer a question for me. I read about an US Army study that was to determine the average combat range for pistol. I seem to recall that the answer came back in INCHES. Repeat, INCHES. Around two (2) to three (3), inches, as I recall. The author who wrote the article I read, said that the range that the pistol was deployed indicated it was a last ditch weapon, or words to that effect.
If you know the study Im talking about, Id appreciate your giving me the correct answer. I dont like posting stuff unless Im sure about it, and just cant remember exactly how many inches it was.
One other thing; Thanks for posting about that pistol. From what I read, and others have posted, I gather its a quality pistol, at a very affordable prices. Those are hard to find, and Im thinking about adding one to my collection.

If you like exotic pistols; a brand I have been looking at is the Canik 55. The Shark model looks wicked cool. J&G has them as well. Not the Shark but other models. Gunbroker has the Shark.

I like the Tokarev design, and own several in 7.62x25, but as a carry weapon, they are not safe to carry with a round in the chamber. The original design had no true safety other than a half cock on the hammer, and the added safeties usually only block the trigger and do not prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin. If you are willing to adapt to this drawback and practice chambering a round rapidly, they are very reliable and accurate. Note: I am not familiar with the Zastava model specifically and they may have additional safety features that I am not aware of, although it does not appear likely from the photographs.
Yes, more ammo is better than less. I don't buy into the averages used to justify reduced capacity handguns. That's why I carry autos vs. revolvers and with them spare magazines.
A study done by the US army about average combat distance for a handgun would be of limited use for most civilians. A soldier will engage a threat with a rifle if at all possible, leaving his (or her) pistol as a backup - so the pistol will probably stay in the holster except for situations where a rifle can't be used.
I don't carry my rifle anywhere near as often as I did when I was a soldier, which means that I'll use a different decision-making process when it comes time to engage a threat.
I bought one from my LGS.
Well-made and shot just fine. My only criticism was the normal, Tokarev-style heavy trigger which i was already expecting from reading reviews on the gun.
I already had an older Romanian Tokarev in 7.62 x 25. It was cool to get a nice, brand new Tok in 9mm.

Glitter Ball 3: Big Hair Big Hearts
With current charitable focus directed toward stemming the disaster in Haiti, it can be difficult to remember the help needed at home. This is a chance to spread the love right where the Twin Cities needs it most. Glitter Ball 3 celebrates the decadent cheese of the '80s big-hair era, with White Light Riot (pictured) goofing off to Spinal Tap tunes, Alison Scott lending her impressive alto to AC/DC tributes, and more guilty pleasures by the Melismatics, the Notties, and the Bloodsugars. And while the night is destined to be a blast (rumor is there's free beef jerky), it will also raise awareness of the work by Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities. With more than 400 local young people waiting to join the program, it needs more help than ever, and Glitter Ball 3 is the perfect opportunity to learn more, get involved, and raise money for the organization. Plus, you can check the "Do something nice for the world" item off your 2010 to-do list. (Photo by Darin Back)

Were Sanctions Right?
Published: July 27, 2003
(Page 4 of 6)
''I do not make money from selling these things to my neighbors,'' a merchant named Salman Moussa told me as we stood in front of his agency in the Baghdad neighborhood of Al Mansour. ''Basically, I am doing a public service.'' After a long pause, he finally added: ''Like a fireman. Since the prices are so low -- a few American dollars each month for all the food -- merchants like me only make a little profit.''
Most Iraqis and most outside observers agree that food was the area in which Saddam Hussein's government coped best with sanctions. Kenny Gluck, a seasoned American relief worker who is now the operations director for the Dutch section of Doctors Without Borders, remarked to me recently, ''You can't say too many bad things about Saddam Hussein, but give the devil his due: on the food issue, he responded very capably.''
The food success buttresses the case of those who always claimed that the toll exacted on the Iraqi people through sanctions was all the fault of Saddam Hussein. He could have provided Iraqis what they needed all along, they say. But instead of doing so, he chose to devote his country's resources to building palaces for himself and for his family and functionaries, mosques to please the disaffected believers among his citizens and weapons with which to menace his neighbors and the world. To a limited extent, anyway, many Iraqis seem to agree with this analysis.
''Saddam could do many things to the people,'' a former Iraqi Army officer named Raed Mohammed told me, ''but while he could kill them, he could not afford to starve them. So yes, he made sure the Ministry of Trade organized things correctly. As a result, the rationing was popular. It helped the regime maintain its legitimacy. Most people thought, 'Saddam is feeding us while the Americans are trying to starve us to death.'''
Indeed, Hussein's government was so proud of its accomplishment that in front of the Ministry of Trade headquarters, there was a huge mural of Saddam Hussein showing the tyrant holding up a ration book -- his ''gift'' to the Iraqi people. (The mural was later defaced by looters.) And there were other, unanticipated, advantages that accrued to the regime from the rationing system. Every Iraqi head of household had to have such a ration book, issued by the Ministry of Trade, which named every immediate family member and listed the precise quantities of foodstuffs to which the bearer was entitled. Every food agent had a computerized list from the Ministry of Trade of the people he was supposed to supply with these staples.
What this meant in practice was that the regime could maintain a database on every Iraqi citizen and constantly update it, without recourse to the security services or even a network of paid informants. It was a secret policeman's dream -- and it was all provided, however inadvertently, by the sanctions the United States and Britain had conceived as a way of limiting Saddam Hussein's power.
''First we got used to the idea that the government provided food,'' a young Iraqi journalism student named Aziz told me. (He preferred that I not know his last name.) ''Then we started to see the government as the provider of absolutely everything. For Saddam, it was great. The more he controlled distribution, the more effective the Iraqi police state became. After all, practically the worst thing you could do was to lose your ration card.''
In many ways, Saddam Hussein became a master at manipulating the sanctions system to his own ends. Under the rubric of the oil-for-food program, the United Nations allowed the Iraqis themselves to publish their list of humanitarian requirements and then to select the foreign companies with which it wished to do business. This provision meant that the Iraqi government was able to set up a well-orchestrated system of kickback schemes in which a contract would be signed at far more than the cost of fulfilling it, with the difference deposited secretly by the selected contractors in Iraqi government-controlled accounts all over the world. As a result, Saddam Hussein and the Baath elite got rich off the sanctions, and a great many international businessmen, notably in the Arab world, in France and in Russia, made handsome profits as well.
''The Syrians, the Jordanians, the Turks -- they all had their own deals,'' Nancy Soderberg recalls.
Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein used the pretext of the sanctions to wage a propaganda war -- one that even many American officials would later concede he probably won. Not only did Hussein use the sanctions to rationalize to Iraqis every shortage they were enduring, but he also proved himself a kind of genius at exaggerating and exploiting the effects of sanctions that were already tragic enough when reported truthfully. To rally his population, and probably also in a bid to win support from Western sympathizers and the international media, Saddam Hussein orchestrated a kind of traffic in suffering -- all meant for the television cameras.
One doctor I spoke to who spent several years in a hospital in the provincial city of Baquba, about 25 miles north of Baghdad, told me that the hospital staff had instructions, whenever a child died, to keep the corpse in the morgue rather than burying it immediately as mandated by Islamic custom. ''When a sufficient number of bodies accumulated,'' he explained, ''the authorities would stage a mass funeral, railing against the sanctions, even though as often as not there was no connection between a particular child's death and the sanctions.''
I asked the doctor how a child's parents could possibly have agreed to such a deception.

While I thought it was much better than the 3rd one, I much prefer the 1st and 2nd movies.
I am not a P. Cruz fan, so I'm sure that didn't help. Loved Ian McShane as Blackbeard. And of course, Johnny Depp was fantastic. I always love that character and how he brings it to life. My favorite line of his dealt with him blowing up the lighthouse and saying something like, "did everyone see that, as I will NOT be doing that again." Hilarious!

How to Keep Stray Dogs Away from Backyard
Do you love dogs? But can't afford to feed your pet(s) AND the stray dogs that keep wandering to your house? Well, learn how to keep them away.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1If you don't have a pet, or your pet lives inside, skip this step. If your pet is outside, then make your pet eat his/her food where the stray dogs won't go. Let him/her eat inside until you know the dogs are gone for a good.
2Put a fence up. If you already have a fence and the dogs keep jumping it or digging under it, sad to say, you might have to put up an electrical fence.
3Look closely at how they look, or if they have a collar. They might belong to someone and just get out sometimes.
4You might have to call Animal Control, or the Animal Harbor, or ASPCA. It's hard to call on them, but you've got to do what you've gotta do.
5When the animal control people come, make sure you tell them they haven't been bad. Just tell them the dogs haven't bothered you, you just want them to find a home and have good food.

- Don't throw things at them.

Asian Shares End Mixed
Asian markets ended mixed on Monday, as data showed a regional slowdown in manufacturing, offsetting a recovery in mining stocks.
July started with a flurry of manufacturing data for a number of Asian countries, an important economic indicator for the export-heavy region.
The focus was on China, where two sets of data suggested a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing. The official purchasing managers' index was released over the weekend and was 50.2. Though the figure was just above 50, indicating a small increase in manufacturing activity, it was the worst figure since November.
More Investing News
The rival HSBC PMI, which focuses more on small and medium-sized companies than the official data, came out Monday morning and showed a weakening in June to 48.2, suggesting a contraction in activity, compared with 48.4 in May.
The Chinese PMI data is "not horrible, but it isn't showing a rebound," said Gigi Chan, manager of Threadneedle's $100 million China Opportunities Fund in Singapore. "Some people had hoped that some of the stimulus might have kicked in."
The China Shanghai Composite dipped as soon as the HSBC data was released, though the index managed to regain ground and finish the session flat at 2226.11. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was closed for a public holiday.
South Korea's Kospi ended the day down 0.1% at 1851.65, after its June PMI indicated a contraction in manufacturing activity 49.4 in June, compared to 51 in May. There was also heavy selling of the index's largest constituent, Samsung Electronics, which fell 2.3% ahead of the company's second quarter guidance.
Japan's Nikkei Average finished the day flat at 9003.48, despite a better-than-expected result in the Bank of Japan's quarterly tankan survey, a measure of business confidence.
Selling of heavyweight exporters weighed down the Japanese benchmark, with Toyota Motor and industrial robots maker Fanuc down 0.5% and 0.9% respectively. This was counterbalanced however by gains in trading companies, which benefitted from the strengthening commodities – such as Mitsubishi Corp, which rose 0.4%, and Toyota Tsusho, which was 1.5% higher.
The initial euphoria that pushed up markets on Friday, following the bank bailout program agreed at the European summit, moderated in Asia as investors started to think about the actual implementation of the bank bailout plan.
The euro weakened Monday. At $1.2635, the single currency gave up some of the 1.8% gain that it made Friday when it climbed to $1.2661.
Miners across the region benefitted from an increase in commodity prices—a rally led by copper, which on Friday touched its touched its highest price since late May. The effect was most apparent on the resource-heavy Australian market, which ended the day 0.9% up at 4133.00. Miner BHP Billiton led a broad advance in mining stocks, climbing 0.9%.
Gold dropped to $1593.40 an ounce Monday, eating into some of the 3.5% gain it made Friday. The increased value of the precious metal proved a boon for gold miners. Newcrest Mining gained 4.1% in Australia.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Sometimes in Golden Gate Park you can see pig-nosed turtles weighing up to 30 pounds.
Like this ugly customer:
Do some people abandon pets at Golden Gate Park?
Yes, some people do.
Your pet-store Cherry-Headed Conures certainly are handsome animules (see below), but our Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill don't really belong in Frisco, not really.
So the Hooded Oriole takes the crown
Here's one [oh, if you want to add your comment to all the others, use this link] at Golden Gate Park's Stow Lake from, IDK, a decade ago? This male has a blush of orange, as is typical for this time of year – they generally have more of a pure yellow color at other times:
Here's an effort from Bob Gunderson's Dust Trombone from a few years back – dese boids are all over the place dese days, so enjoy them while they last.
Now here are your beauty champs from the 415's Import Division:
A friendly pair in the Presidio.
They love to fly…
and eat flowers.
Look to the skies…
Animals Riding Animals is hot in 2015 – it's the latest thing.
I'm the King of the World! YOLO!
Get your 2015 coyote update from Hoodline.
Coyotes are small, brownish, wild dogs, basically. They run with their non-bushy tails held down.
Thusly, as seen on JFK Drive near the Bison Paddock, shortly before Fish and Game plumb blew this critter away, with a rifle:
Lots of people don't notice them, cause they hide most of the time. And sometimes, off-leash dog people flush them out, with bad results…
But coyotes is harmless, despite what any SF Chronicle columnist from Walnut Creek might imply.
Years ago, I invited people to send in their photos of foxes and people only sent in photos of coyotes ID'ed as foxes, oh well. Moving on … to real foxes.
I'll tell you, the Presidio has gray foxes, I understand, but I've never seen a gray fox.
Gray foxes belong in the bay area as a native species. OTOH, red foxes are exotics brought here for hunting.
The foxes seen over the years in GGP are all red, and they're smaller than coyotes, and they run with their bushy tails held higher. Thusly:
As seen in GGP's Strybing Arboretum, back before they changed their name and started charging admission:
This critter here was killed crossing over Crossover Drive, I believe, back in the aughts:
From about 175 feet away from the Primitive Garden in GGP. She'll see you before you see her:
I haven't seen the red foxes of GGP for a good long time. They took a hit when Rec and Park put out poison to kill vermin, like rats and mice.
Maybe I'll never see a fox in Golden Gate Park ever again.
But coyotes, we've got tons of those. Just keep your pup on a leash and away from the coyotes and everything should be fine.
(Or simply tell the coyotes to "get the fuck out of here" – your choice.)

"Please no shopping into your reusable bags?" Oh, I've done that. Didn't know the term for it. I suppose you're halfway to being a shoplifter once you start doing that, in the opinion of the (quite large) Whole Foods Security Squadron.
What else, oh, follow the rules or you might get banned from the store for five years, or something.
Read the whole list. I've never seen a lengthy ToS like this for a store…

Global consumer confidence remained stable in the first quarter and below the optimism baseline score of 100, edging up one index point to 98. The score reflected mixed confidence levels reported in every region.
In the digital world, IT is everyone's job, and the democratization of IT is an unstoppable force.
Many consumers appear to have strong preferences about the origin of the products they buy, but how important is this attribute really when they consider a purchase? How does it stack up against other selection factors?
Mature brands will find themselves in a broader range of situations than new ones. When it becomes clear that your established brand needs investment to grow your circle of buyers, how do you know which path will work best for you?
Though global consumer confidence remained stable in the first quarter, there was notable variation on a country-by-country basis, and many markets noted a growing recessionary sentiment. In fact, six in 10 global respondents believed their nation's economy was in recession in the first quarter.
Global consumer confidence edged up one index point to 98 in the first quarter of 2016, remaining relatively stable in the first quarter and slightly below the optimism baseline score of 100.
How did business intelligence break free of its centralized command-and-control heritage to meet the challenge of the agile, democratic, digital world?
When asked to pick the attributes they seek when purchasing all-purpose cleaners, 40% around the world say they want environmentally friendly benefits and nearly as many (36%) say they don't want harsh chemicals.
When it comes to choosing specific products, do consumers prefer global brands or local ones? The answer depends primarily on the category, and there is a surprising amount of agreement across regions.
When it comes to cleaning products, it should come as little surprise that efficacy tops the list of most important attributes that consumers around the world seek out when selecting household cleaners.
As multinational companies continue to expand into new markets, often providing access to a greater range of products for local consumers, are local companies getting lost in the shuffle? Not necessarily so. In fact, many local companies are thriving.
Typically, small teams build concepts, get qualitative or quantitative feedback, refine concepts, collect another round of feedback, and so on, until they arrive at a "winning" concept. This technique works well, but it suffers from one major drawback: It often produces ideas that are good enough but not the best.
Cleaning can be a thankless job. Luckily, there's a variety of cleaning products to help. In fact, the tools that consumers use to clean their homes are as diverse as the regions themselves.

I personally adored the Day Care Checker.In previous generations,it was frustrating having to check all the time to see how your Pokemon was doing and if they produced an egg or not.
Next would probably be the Friendship one as I have some team members who need evolving via high happiness :3,so it's pretty convenient instead of randomly guessing when your Pokemon trusts you enough.
And the third one is another checker actually n_n.The Berry one which could also pick out all those cheeky,roaming legendaries.It did help instead of dawdling around in the grass and hoping for some insanely powered legendary to appear.
Last is the Memo Pad.It was convenient for scribbling over when you were sick of adventuring or wanting to do something fun and simple.It made a pretty good notepad and I loved it :3.
pineapples are cool.

Great weather expected over the next few days is drawing thousands to our coast this holiday weekend.
Hundreds flocked to the beach Friday as the unofficial start to the summer season kicked off. Many spent the day tanning, swimming, and building sandcastles.
Tourism officials say despite the struggling economy, cheap gas prices and nice weather have brought visitors to here.
One family we caught up with from Indiana says they like it so much that they're actually relocating next month.
Crystal Coast tourism officials say business is already up from numbers recorded last year.

With the ban on Mohun Bagan and the uncertain futures of Air India and ONGC FC, the Indian FA is considering allowing corporate teams direct entry into the I-League.The All India Football Federation (AIFF) are in for a busy January as India's chief footballing body will have a host of issues to deal with. Firstly the Indian FA will have to decide on the future of Mohun Bagan after the Mariners had appealed the ban that was imposed on the club after their breach of I-League rules during the Kolkata Derby.
The second problem is that of the vacant slots that will be left if Air India and ONGC FC, clubs which are run by public sector institutions in India, are ousted from the I-League given that they have failed to register themselves as a private entity.
"We had sent a letter to Air India and ONGC asking them to fulfill criteria by December 31, 2012. We received letter from Air India on the same day stating that their process to register themselves as a private legal entity is still on and they need an extension of the timeline to conform to the same," said I-League CEO Sunando Dhar to Goal.com
"ONGC also sent a letter requesting for an extension to the deadline. However it seems unlikely that there will be an extension this time. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had given a deadline by the end of 2011. However it was on request of AIFF President Praful Patel, the AFC extended the deadline till December 31, 2012. If we continue to give such extensions we will keep losing points to our league which in turn affects our position when it comes to getting the crucial AFC Champions League spots," explained Dhar.
When asked about how teams in the relegation zone would be handled, Dhar said that that Praful Patel is considering allowing teams owned by corporate institutions a direct entry into the league. According to Dhar, the teams in the relegation zone, provided Air India and ONGC are above it, will be replaced by teams from the Second Division.
"The President is considering to introduce franchisees into the I-League. We are yet to determine the relegation system given that we have already handed a ban to Mohun Bagan. There is a proposal to increase the number of teams in the I-League to 16. What is sure is that next year it will be a 14-team competition," revealed the I-League CEO.
|Praful Patel ponders over allowing teams direct entry into the I-League
The teams that will be granted the direct-entry will be based outside the two football hubs in the country namely - Kolkata and Goa who together account for 8 teams in the ongoing I-League season.
Dodsal FC, a team based out of Mumbai, which is owned by the wealthy conglomerate Dodsal Group headquartered in Dubai, are a club who are portraying major ambitions. They had made some promising signings in the transfer market and might even top it by landing former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre.
The other teams who are in contention are from Bangalore, Pune and Delhi.

The Zope Component Architecture is a very powerful tool which is widely used in Plone and the Plone community. For stock users of Plone it can seem like an encumbrance, slowing the site down and complicating development without any advantages. However, even basic applications built with Plone can benefit from some ZCA tricks that are not as widely known as they should be.
This talk will demonstrate simple uses of the component architecture which, along with a typical Plone stack, allow developers to deliver very performance Plone sites while simultaneously freeing the developer from the normal optimisation worries.

i am creating a small newspaper site using wordpress but am having some problems with structuring the content.
for example, in the 'world' custom post type there will be a custom taxonomy called regions: 'USA', 'UK', 'ASIA' etc
then, i will have custom taxonomy called topics: 'POLITICS', 'BUSINESS', 'TECH' etc.
the problem i am having is this: if i a person is in the region 'USA' and clicks on the topic "POLITICS' then how can they be directed to posts about politics in the 'USA' only, and not a general archive page which in includes 'POLITICS' from other regions as well?
any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

Now Paul is known as the cute Beatle, but who do you guys think is the cute Beatle? I'd say that it depends on the time. Up until Sgt. Pepper's it's George, then it goes to Ringo and after they shave their moustaches it goes to Paul until the end. What do you guys think?
Overall though, I'd say Paul!

I'll skip the who you'd "do" part, but... I think George was the handsome one, Paul was the cute one, Stuart was the beautiful one and John was the cool one. Ringo was funny more than good looking. And I think teddy boy hair fitted George and John the best, where as "Beatles style" was awesome for Paul and Stuart. Actually, it's quite stunning how much better Paul looks with that style than any other. I have to give credit for Ringo choosing the best clothes, though. I don't like Paul's sense of fashion at all.
... And beards fit neither of them

The Political Crisis, Demobilization, and
Regime Reequilibration in Hungary
THE HUNGARIAN revolution was the most tragic and dramatic culmination of the political decompression in East Central Europe following Stalin's death and the de-Stalinization campaign launched by Khrushchev at the Twentieth Party Congress. The political crisis bore characteristic marks of this period, which Hungary shared with other East European regimes undergoing the transition from Stalinist rule. Legacies of Stalinist rule, with its political terror, ideological belligerence, desecration of national traditions, the Soviet-style industrialization drive, and disastrous economic policies, created preconditions for a political cataclysm. The impetus for change came from within the regime and caused profound intra-elite splits and struggles. Only then did the political opportunity structure open to allow other groups and actors to organize, articulate demands, and press for policy changes and reforms. During this period, revisionism or reform communism dominated the discourse and imagination of collective actors challenging the Stalinist ruling elites. Critics of Stalinist policies framed their demands in terms of "true" and "just" state socialism and condemned Stalinist elites for distorting a real potential of economic and political transformations instituted in these countries. Thus, in Leszek Kolakowski's words, "1956 was the year of ideological delusion." 1 The crisis, however, also reflected specific features of the Hungarian situation and developments before 1956, such as the brutality of the regime, the depth of the economic crisis, and an unwavering and prolonged attempt of the Stalinist elite to stay in power. The result was a popular revolt and rapid institutional breakdown of the regime. The period of successful demobilization policies following the revolution and the restoration of the party-state in Hungary was decisively conditioned by the radical character of the political crisis and the equally radical Soviet military response to this crisis aimed at preserving communist rule in the country at all cost. The revolution itself and the bloody Soviet intervention established a set of conditions that, paradoxically, made the restoration of state socialism in Hungary easier than the intensity and consequences of the conflict would indicate. The relatively rapid decline of popular resistance in the face of postrevolutionary repression and the unexpected long-term effects of demobilization policies that turned Hungary into the quite tolerant and reform-minded country of the Soviet bloc are puzzles that have confronted the students of contemporary East European politics since 1956.

While I am pulling quotes from Dell for Dell workstations(model T7500) I see they have additional component: NVIDIA® Tesla™ C2075 Computing Processor
I am wondering how much helpful this will be for the users who will run Cadence tools(IC615,MMSIM) and synopsys/Mentor graphics tools.
Will this additional component boost computations with cadence?
The workstations already can be configured with processor: Quad Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5687 (3.60GHz,12M L3, 6.4G and 1.0GB NVIDIA® Quadro® 2000, Dual MON display adapter.
I want to add GPU computing component(NVIDIA® Tesla™ C2075 Computing Processor) only if it is going to helps perforamance boost in cadence tools.
Please advise.

Bypass work means detours
Work continues at a steady clip on the 3.25-mile eastern portion of U.S. 50 bypass, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
"So far, the construction crews are on schedule for completing the highway by the target date, Oct. 30," said Harry Maginity, INDOT spokesman. "We are hopeful but not promising that construction will be completed by then.
"However, we cannot open the highway until the city has its new (quarry) reservoir ready."
The city purchased the former Hanson Aggregates quarry in agreement with INDOT in order to assure a safe water supply for the city's water customers. The bypass bridge will span the Muscatatuck River a short distance above the city dam from which the city now draws its water. City officials were fearful of contamination from a chemical spill into the river resulting from a semi-truck accident at the new bridge, which led to the quarry agreement involving INDOT paying $2 million and the city $500,000 for the Hanson property.

State to study bypass options
The state is going to take a closer look - significantly closer - at the bypass intersection on North Vernon's west side.
In fact, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) plans to hire an engineering firm to study the intersection of U.S. 50 and CR 400W with the bypass, also temporarily known as SR 750. The action clearly indicates that safety improvements will be made at the site, though what type has yet to be determined.
"Once we get a report back from the engineering firm, then we will have a proposal," said Harry Maginity of INDOT.
Those plans could include a roundabout, a full-fledged four-way traffic signal, a separate turn-off lane from eastbound SR 750 to U.S. 50 or something else.
Maginity said he could not speculate on what might be proposed.
"I'm sure the engineering firm will offer several options, with one of them being their recommendation," he said. "We will present those options to the public and have a period public comments will be received. After that, a final decision on how to proceed will be made, but there is no timetable for that."

'Largest meth seizure ever'
Sheriff Gary Driver calls it the largest methamphetamine bust ever in Jennings County.
"I've never seen anything like this before and hope I never do again," Driver said after deputies found 2.2 pounds of pure crystal meth in a car after a traffic stop early Tuesday. "This has to be the largest methamphetamine seizure in the county's history."
Deputies arrested Larry Janes, 65, and Kimberly L. Tungate, 28, both of North Vernon after finding the meth in a plastic container in the vehicle in which they were riding.
A deputy stopped the car, a 2004 Chevrolet Cruz, on CR 300N at SR 7 at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after Janes, the driver, failed to dim the headlights. Along with the massive amount of meth, police found several syringes in the car during the stop.
At 10 a.m., deputies executed a search warrant at Janes' residence on Whitehall Drive in Country Squire Lakes. Deputies recovered 5 ounces of meth packaged in small bags apparently ready for sale, six firearms, a bottle of prescription pills, an unspecified amount of marijuana and various drug paraphernalia.
The estimated street value of the meth seized is well over $100,000, according to Driver.

NV man jailed after shooting
Wesley D. Webb, 58, of North Vernon, remains in the Jennings County Jail where he is being held without bond on multiple preliminary felony charges after a shooting incident on the city's west side on Thursday afternoon, May 12.
Webb allegedly shot and injured his adult stepson at a home where they lived in the 100 block of Baker Street.
The shooting victim, whom North Vernon Police Detective Ivory Sandefur has not yet identified, is in serious but stable condition at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
"I am not yet ready to release the victim's name," said Sandefur on Monday morning.
Webb shot the victim in the torso with a handgun. Sandefur declined to reveal other specifics on the injury or the size and style of the firearm.
At around 1 p.m. Thursday, North Vernon Police Department went to Webb's residence to resolve an argument between Webb and his stepson.
Police summoned Indiana Department of Child Services personnel when they became concerned with the living conditions at the home and a young child living there. The child is Webb's stepgrandchild. NVPD officers then concluded their contact there.

County books now in balance
Reconciliation of financial ledger books between the Jennings County treasurer's and auditor's offices is virtually complete. So reported James Jump of the Reedy Financial Group at Tuesday's meeting of the Jennings County Council.
"It has been a good 3.5-week process," Jump said, complimenting the efforts of personnel in both the treasurer's and auditor's offices in working with him to balance the books. "Give credit where credit is due. Sherri (Williams, chief deputy treasurer) worked independently several days ... and was the key in making this a better process and getting the task accomplished in a short amount of time. Susie (Barlow, deputy auditor) made herself available and worked not only on the actual reconciliation but on gaining a better understanding of her role and the connection between the auditor and treasurer."
Reedy is the county's financial advisory firm. At the council's April meeting, Treasurer Sandy Vance and Auditor Kay Vance requested that Reedy be allowed to work in their offices in order to complete the reconciliation. The Council approved that request by a 5-2 vote.
"Thank you to all for doing exactly what you said you'd do," Councilor Josh Yeager (R-District 3) said to the treasurer's and auditor's staff and Jump.
"This is what we've been wanting for a long time," added Howard Malcomb (R-at large), council president. "This has been a mess too long."

We'll be visiting Oregon in August and driving from Portland to Hood River one day, and then to Bend the next day. What would be the best way to experience Mt. Hood? Is there any way to get to the snow in that period of time?
The best way to experience Mount Hood, especially if you want to get up close to some snow, is to visit Timberline Lodge. You won't get any closer to the mountain. They do a great lunch buffet, for a very reasonable
price using many local ingredients. Take a ride up on the ski lift to the Palmer Snowfield, where you can play in the snow year round, even in August.
You may also consider making a stop at Trillium Lake on your way to Bend, and not far from Timberline Lodge. Yet another great view of the mountain here, reflected perfectly in the lake if the wind isn't blowing too

The Self-Esteem Theory of Deviance
In the late 1960s Steffenhagen began doing drug research on the college campus. His research was fundamentally empirical in origin, with a focus on sociodemographic and psychological correlates involved in drug use and abuse. He and his coresearcher, Dr. Christopher McAree, under the auspices of an NIMH grant, focused their research upon getting data, sociodemographic and sociological, on male and female users and nonusers on a college campus. Part of the research grant was therapy oriented and they engaged in student drug therapy over a period of years. This empirical research stimulated a theoretical interest on his part and Steffenhagen became concerned with focusing on the why of drug abuse. As a result of his association with Heinz Ansbacher, one of the foremost U.S. Adlerian psychologists, he reinterpreted his early data in an Adlerian context and found that within the Adlerian framework he was able to explain with much greater detail and clarity what previously seemed somewhat obscure. Too often empiric research, theoretic research, and therapeutic application are three totally separate and distinct areas of academic focus. As a result of his original empiric research, however, he developed a theoretical focus and became concerned with understanding and explaining drug abuse in terms
Material for Chapters 3 and 4 were adapted from R. A. Steffenhagen, "An Adlerian Approach toward a Self-Esteem Theory of Deviance: A Drug Abuse Model," Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, 24(1) ( 1978): 1-3; and later from R. A. Steffenhagen, ed., Hypnotic techniques for Increasing Self-Esteem ( New York: Irvington, 1983), Ch. 4. Material for the section on the sociopsychological theory of deviance in Chapter 3 appeared in Deviant Behavior 5 ( 1984): 23-30, as "Self-Esteem and Anomie: An Integration of Adler and Merton as a Theory of Deviance," by R. A. Steffenhagen. Reprinted by permission.

No, Mr. P and I are not looking to run around like Adam and Eve. But I heard, lots of people have good results growing Fig Trees.
My sister up North, where they "take their house inside during the winter" - (of course just kidding), use to have a Fig Tree in a container. It was out all summer and she brought it inside come winter.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I have a huge leftover pot, I would like to plant with something. Any other suggestions?

Some of my Italian-American friends have fig trees growing in their yards. They keep the trees trimmed to a managable size and bend them over and cover them with layers of burlap and tarps and pack a protective mulch around the trunk before the first frost in the fall. Their trees have all survived several winters so far and every summer they get lots of tasty fresh figs.

Roll the Dice on Ryan Kesler, but Buy Insurance
Thomas Drance
May 22 2013 01:11PM
Photo via wikimedia commons.
On the list of "reasons the Vancouver Canucks were swept in the first round by San Jose," the performance of Ryan Kesler probably doesn't show up in the top-five for most people. It does for me. While Kesler had a dynamite 30 minutes in the second game of the series, an impressive display no doubt, it mostly served to disguise "the beast's" larger issues on those rare occassions when he was in the lineup in 2013...
The fact of the matter is that in limited appearances, Kesler was unable to drive play this past season in the fashion to which we've become accustomed. That was true in the regular season and was especially clear during Vancouver's short stint in the playoffs, as the Canucks controlled only 25% of the scoring chances with Ryan Kesler on the ice at even-strength against San Jose. In other words, Kesler fared worse by the chance data than even Derek Roy (40%) who didn't show up.

The Reverse Cody Hodgson: Three Young Forwards the Canucks Should Target

Perhaps the Canucks should pursue Nino Niederreiter this summer.
Image via wikimedia commons.
Looking over the data - as I did yesterday - I remain unconvinced that the Sedin twins are in any sort of "rapid decline" as a result of advancing age. But that shouldn't obscure the fact that Vancouver's club is getting long in the tooth, and due respect to the likes of Zack Kassian, Brendan Gaunce and Nicklas Jensen, the organization don't appear to have any slam dunk top-line caliber prospects in the pipeline.
With the salary cap falling, it's ovious that the Canucks roster needs to get cheaper. Mike Gillis has been explicit about the teams need to get bigger and tougher as well. While Jeff Angus is dead right that the Canucks should forget about working on any one particular area and just focus on getting better more generally, I tend to think that if the Canucks hope to avoid the fate that befell the Calgary Flames over the past half decade, it's imperative that they find a way to get younger.
Trading for former first round picks is demonstrably a risky game, but it's a risky game the Canucks should be willing to try their hand at this summer. Here's a list of three young forwards, with top-ten pick pedigree who, for whatever reason, appear to have fallen out of favour within their organizations. These players won't come free, or even cheap, but could help the Canucks jump-start a youth movement going forward.

McKenzie: "I expect the Vancouver Canucks to make a Coaching Change"
Thomas Drance

Should he stay or should he go now?
Image via Wikimedia Commons.
In the Vancouver sports market, Canucks fans have been waiting impatiently for several weeks to hear more about the fate of controversial head coach Alain Vigneault. Since the club's inglorious first round ouster earlier this month, Vigneault hasn't addressed the media - the second year in a row in which he's ducked the press following a first round exit - and General manager Mike Gillis has been quiet as well, aside from an e-mail promising change that he sent to season ticket holders late last week.
For what it's worth, TSN analyst and the godfather of hockey coverage Bob McKenzie appeared on the Scotty and Company morning show on the Team 1040 today. McKenzie quite plainly said that he "expects the Vancouver Canucks to make a coaching change," and then added that he "can't imagine [Vigneault's situation] dragging on much longer than it has."

On Daniel Sedin's Declining Offensive Production
Thomas Drance
May 21 2013 11:45AM
Is Daniel Sedin declining faster than his brother?
Photo via wikimedia commons.
Way back before this season began Dimitri, Cam and myself engaged in a spirited debate about whether or not the Sedins had "lost a step". Dimitri and Cam argued that they had while I posited that they hadn't - at least not yet. Looking over those old posts, I think I was the closest to being correct, even though the Sedins didn't produce at a point-per-game rate this past season (which I'd thought they would).
While the Sedin twins's offensive production took a step back this past lockout shortened season, they had a greater defensive burden to carry and significantly less support from the rest of Vancouver's forward group than they've enjoyed in the past. Despite more more difficult roles and circumstances, the twins probably turned in the best two-way season of their respective careers.

The Sedins were widely criticized for "no showing" in the NHL playoffs earlier this month, as the Vancouver Canucks were eliminated in short order at the hands of the San Jose Sharks.
