Oklahoma Supreme Court strikes down 2 anti-abortion laws
Anti-abortion advocates were struck with a double blow Tuesday when the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled two state laws are unconstitutional. The laws would have required a woman to have an ultrasound at least one hour before getting an abortion and would have restricted the off-label use of certain abortion-inducing drugs such as RU-486.
The high court ruled in separate opinions that lower court judges were correct to block the laws.
In both cases, the Supreme Court said the laws violated a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision. It's the third time this year Oklahoma justices have struck down an anti-abortion measure because it went against a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that women have a constitutional right to an abortion.
"Because the United States Supreme Court has previously determined the dispositive issue presented in this manner, this court is not free to impose its own view of the law," the Oklahoma Supreme Court's opinions state.
"The Oklahoma Constitution reaffirms the effect of the supremacy clause on Oklahoma law by providing, 'The state of Oklahoma is an inseparable part of the federal union, and the constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.'"
Reaction to ruling
Michelle Movahed, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, the New York-based group that filed legal challenges to both state measures, said the Supreme Court's rulings were "a resounding rejection of the Oklahoma Legislature's attempt to restrict women's constitutional rights.
"I hope that the Oklahoma Legislature does take a lesson and turn to subjects that won't involve clear violations of the Constitution," she said.
Nancy Northup, president and chief executive officer at the Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York-based group that filed legal challenges to both state measures, said her group is pleased with the rulings.
"As the courts that have already heard these cases have resoundingly affirmed, a woman's right to a full range of reproductive health care is fundamental and constitutionally protected," Northup said.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt whose office appealed lower-court decisions that invalidated the laws said the state may appeal the decisions to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"We disagree with the court's decision, particularly with the fact that the question on whether Oklahoma's constitution provides a right to an abortion was left unanswered," Pruitt said.
"We also are disappointed that the court upheld the district court ruling on abortion-inducing drugs such as RU-486," Pruitt said.
"There is overwhelming evidence that the off-label use of abortion-inducing drugs leads to serious infections and death for many healthy, unsuspecting women. This is not OK. Our job is to protect the citizens of Oklahoma, and we will consider an appeal."
Past rulings
Tuesday's rulings are the second and third time in slightly more than seven months that the state Supreme Court has struck down a proposal that it said goes against a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion
In late April, the justices rejected an effort to put on the ballot a question that would define a fertilized human egg as a person. They said in a unanimous ruling that the personhood proposal was void and should be stricken because the U.S. Supreme Court already had ruled in 1973's Roe v. Wade decision.
Both state Supreme Court decisions Tuesday were unanimous.
The Supreme Court voted 9-0 in the appeal of House Bill 1970, which legislators passed last year and would have required doctors to follow strict guidelines authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and would have prohibited off-label uses of the drugs, such as changing a recommended dosage or prescribing it for different symptoms than the drug was intended.
It also would have required doctors to examine women before prescribing the drugs, document certain medical conditions and schedule follow-up appointments.
Justices voted 8-0 on the appeal of HB 2780, which lawmakers passed in 2010 and would have required a doctor to show a pregnant woman a view of her fetus and describe in detail what is visible, including any limbs or organs. Justice Noma Gurich recused herself.
The Oklahoma justices referred in both cases to a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court case in which the constitutionality of several Pennsylvania state regulations regarding abortion was challenged.
The court upheld a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion, with the justices imposing a new standard to determine the validity of laws restricting abortions. The new standard asked whether a state abortion regulation has the purpose or effect of imposing an "undue burden," which is defined as a "substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains viability."
Rep. Lisa Billy, R-Lindsay, author of the ultrasound measure, said she thinks the justices misinterpreted the U.S. Supreme Court decision and that it does allow informed consent for women seeking abortions.
"I'm actually very hopeful that some point in time we will be able to have a decision whether it's through being appealed … that every woman who is seeking to terminate her unborn child will have all of the information in her hands prior to her making that life-changing decision," she said. "It may be a way off before we get there."

Crime in Focus: Is a registered sex offender near you? | News
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - With more than 500,000 registered sex offenders nationwide, 7,000 of those in Arkansas many are constantly on the move.
According to the National Alert Registry, 58% of victims are under the age of 12.
The Family Watchdog website was created in 2006 after the murder of Jessica Lunsford in Florida to protect families against predators.
The service allows the public to view known registered offenders and predators in their area. This is a tool that Little Rock Police Officer Michelle Hill says is vital.
"It's all about knowledge," says Officer Howard. "If you have that information, then you can take appropriate measures. You can keep an eye on things and if somebody is within a school zone or a church area then you can contact police and they will be fine and they will have to move or be removed."
To use Family Watchdog, just enter an address and a map will pop up. Click on the squares that appear and see photos (where available), addresses, convictions and other information about the offender.
There is also a notification service available. You specify addresses that you want to watch and the distance around those addresses. As soon as a convicted sex offender registers an address in your area, the website will alert you.
"The peace of mind knowing you know who's next door, who's in the neighborhood or that there is not anybody around is just priceless," says Officer Howard.

It was a short work day for nearly 200 workers at a manufacturing facility in the east when a small fire cut their day short.
Officials with Kinston Neuse Corporation say a fire broke out early Friday morning in an air filter in a piece of machinery in the shipping and receiving area of the facility.
The fire happened around 10:00 a.m. and all 180 workers were evacuated and sent home for the day. Officials say the fire was under control in less than 30 minutes.
A spokesperson for Kinston Neuse Corporation, which manufactures crown lift trucks, says all 180 workers were accounted for and that no one was injured.

The Commission's training targets field inspectors and national authority officials involved in planning and policy-making from EU and candidate countries. It focuses on:
EU inspections show that a number of EU countries have not implemented EU potato control requirements. There are differences in the national approaches to internal controls and controls on plant imports, and discrepancies in the handling of outbreaks of new pests.
The EU's emergency decisions lay down requirements to be met before issuing plant passports. EU countries must organise surveys to assess whether their territories are free from specific harmful organisms.
In recent years, numerous consignments with wood packaging contained harmful organisms. EU countries' plant health services are now responsible for authorising facilities to treat wood packaging.

Yesterday was Little DeViL's comeback to the kids league, after several attempts and schedule conflicts with the road bike league Pepe finally participated on a mountain bike race. Everyone was nervous because we didn't had a clue on how he would perform because this was his first race on the year on dirt.
Off they went and due to a bad start he was next to last on the start, the race was 4 laps around a fenced soccer field with 1 nice climb, that gave him the opportunity to recuperate loss ground and pass several riders. At the end he finished 3rd and we all were very happy for him and off course very proud.
Have no podium pics due to worn out batteries.
We made it home about 3:30pm, he quickly grabbed the remote control and started to watch NASCAR while I gathered our gear for the next item on the cycling agenda, we were going for a night ride.
We left around 6:30pm to a town called Florida and started to ride at around 8:00pm, we chose 3 sections of the trail that were not that difficult so he could enjoy the ride; we did a couple of laps. Pepe had done mellow night rides before but this one was special, we have never seen so many suicidal frogs on our life. For him even dough he was tired was awesome and can't wait to do it again, we'll see.

Column Archive Money Magazine Ask the Expert by Walter Updegrave
Senior citizen in a Gen-X fund
A 74-year old finds herself in a retirement fund targeted for 2040. Our expert explains what to do.
NEW YORK (Money) -- Question: I'm 74 years old and currently have my IRA invested in a 2040 target-retirement fund. I want more income, however, so I'm thinking of switching to a growth and income fund. What do you think? -Yolanda R., San Diego, Calif.
Answer: I don't know how much of your overall retirement savings are tied up in this 2040 target-retirement fund you own. But if it's a significant amount, then I can't help but wonder what in the world you (or your adviser) were thinking when you bought that fund.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for target funds. I think they're a great solution for people who want a no-muss no-fuss way to invest their money before and during retirement. These funds are diversified portfolios within themselves. So you don't have to agonize about how much of your money to put in stocks or bonds (or what kinds of stocks or bonds).
The fund gives you a ready-to-go portfolio in one package, plus that portfolio gradually becomes more conservative by shifting more assets toward bonds as you age. (For more on how target funds work, click here.)
But all these benefits depend on you picking the right target fund as a starting point. Target funds make that pretty easy by attaching dates to the funds. Essentially, you pick a fund with a date that roughly corresponds to the date you'll retire.
So if you're 20 years old and won't retire for another 40 or more years, you would pick a 2050 retirement fund. Such a fund would likely have 90 percent or so of its assets invested in stocks of various types and styles (large, small, growth, value, domestic and foreign) and 10 percent or so in various types of bonds.
The idea is that a young person needs lots of stocks for long-term growth potential and doesn't have to worry so much about the short-term gyrations a stock-heavy portfolio will experience.
If you're 50, however, you might choose a 2020 fund, which would likely hold somewhere between 70 percent and 80 percent of its assets in stocks. At this age, you still want growth, but you want a little more protection against market setbacks.
But somehow, you, a 74-year-old, have ended up in a 2040 fund, which is designed for people in their 30s. So it probably holds upwards of 85 percent to 90 percent or so of its assets in stocks.
If you're already pretty much retired and living off the money in this fund, I suspect that this stocks-bonds mix is a bit racier than you want or need. At this age of your life, the last thing you want is to see your portfolio take a swan dive because of a market meltdown.
Oh, I suppose there are exceptions when a 74-year-old might not mind having such an aggressive portfolio. If you've got so much money that a market setback wouldn't faze you, then you can afford to invest more aggressively. Similarly, if you didn't need this money for living expenses and were planning to pass it on to heirs, then you could also invest with more of an eye toward long-term growth.
But the fact that you're looking for income from your fund suggests to me that you don't fall into these exceptions. Which means you shouldn't be in a 2040 fund.
That said, I'm not sure that switching to a growth and income fund is the right move either. Growth and income really isn't a very well defined category. Some growth and income funds are very tame; others can be fairly aggressive.
You have to look into each one to get a better sense of how the manager invests, and it's possible the manager's style might change. Frankly, I don't think it's worth the work.
So what I recommend is that you stick to the target-fund category, but find a fund with a stocks-bond mix that's more appropriate for your age and risk tolerance.
By doing this, you'll get a more broadly diversified portfolio than you would by moving to a growth and income fund. Plus you'll have a stocks-bonds mix that's designed to get you through a long retirement (assuming, of course, that you don't withdraw so much from the fund each year that you deplete the assets too soon).
At this point, your best choice is probably going with a target-retirement fund that's designed for people who've already retired. These target funds typically don't have a date in their name.
Although they're listed in the lineup of target funds with dates, they're usually called something like the Income Fund or the Retirement income fund. Depending on which fund family's retirement income target fund you buy, the percentage of assets in stocks can range from roughly 20 percent to 40 percent.
Unlike the target-retirement funds designed for investors still planning for retirement, the stocks-bonds mix in the retirement income funds stays pretty much the same. They're done morphing; they're as conservative as they're going to get.
As for which fund family's retirement income target fund you might buy, we at Money Magazine have included the target funds of both T. Rowe Price and Vanguard on the Money 70, our elite list of recommended funds. That's not to say other fund families' target funds won't work for you.
But we liked T. Rowe's and Vanguard's funds because they charge very reasonable fees, and because we think the stocks-bonds mix in their funds make sense for investors who want their money to last throughout retirement.
The Vanguard fund keeps about 30 percent of its assets stashed in stocks. That should be enough to give someone your age a decent amount of growth, but also provide some principal protection. The fact that some 70 percent of the portfolio's assets are in bonds and cash means the fund should also produce a good level of income.
The T. Rowe Price retirement income target fund, on the other hand, takes a slightly more aggressive stance, keeping about 40 percent of its assets in stocks. It has more growth potential, but it will also likely be a bit more volatile than the Vanguard fund, although with 60 percent of its assets in bonds and cash, it's not as if we're talking a banzai approach here. (And this fund isn't anywhere near as volatile as the 2040 fund you're currently in.)
I think either of these funds would work just fine for you. It's really more a matter of personal choice. If you're really concerned about security of principal, go with the Vanguard fund. If you're willing to tolerate a little bounciness in the value of your portfolio in return for a shot at higher returns (and possibly more income in the future), then go with the T. Rowe fund.
One final note: Target funds work best when you have all or nearly all of our retirement assets in such a fund. If you also own other funds or have other investments, you'll want to make sure that the stocks-bonds mix for your entire portfolio doesn't stray too far from the target fund's mix. You can figure out the asset allocation of your retirement portfolio overall by going to Portfolio X-Ray tool in the Investment Planning Tools section on T. Rowe Price's site. (You must register to use the tool, but there's no charge.)
So check out the target retirement income funds I mentioned and then make your switch. The next time the stock market takes a nosedive - like it did Tuesday, dropping 416.02 points - you'll be glad you did.

HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — Du'Vaughn Maxwell made 12 of 13 shots for a career-high 29 points and Wes Dunning hit a game-winning 3-pointer to help Hampton edge Delaware State 85-84 Monday in double overtime of a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference contest.
Hampton's (10-13, 7-3) Ke'Ron Brown added 17 points, and Emmanuel Okoroba tallied 14 before fouling out. Deron Powers missed all nine shot attempts but dished out 12 assists.
After Delaware's Casey Walker nailed a 3 to tie it at the end of regulation, the Hornets' (10-13, 5-4) Amere May sank a trey to force double-overtime.
May, who scored all 10 of his points in OT, hit another trey in the second overtime to put Delaware State on top 84-80 with 36 seconds left. But Powers converted two free throws, and May missed two free throws, setting up Dunning's game-winner.
Dunning, who replaced Okoroba, finished with five points.
Thomas Albert scored 14 for Delaware State.

I got a STB that can be connected to the pc with the help of a extender. I managed to arrange everything. Comcast STB has a separate remote and Windows Media Center has a separate one. The remote that I got with the system is not working on Media Center while using Comcast service. Is there a way to use it with Comcast. The remote that comes with it works on it but has nothing related to my media center setup.

Bend he/she over, spread open his/her asshole and slowly urinate into the orifice. He/she then splashes around in the pool of urine in the asshole.
Last night he bent me over and pissed in my asshole and then splashed around in it like it was a dirty birdbath.

How to hold the SX700 one handed?
I've just upgraded from a 5 year old Panasonic TZ7 / ZS3 to the Canon SX700 and while I love the new Canon, I am having a little bit of difficulty trying to hold it comfortably with one hand (right hand).
The problem is where to put my thumb. The Panasonic had a dedicated grip area for a thumb on the back of the camera, but the Canon doesn't. Without thinking, I keep putting my thumb on the SX700's blue "play" button, as that's roughly where the Panasonic's thumb grip area was, thus I end up inadvertently turning the camera on. I've also tried to place my thumb on the stiff program dial, and also right on the edge of the LCD screen.
Anyone got any good tips on holding this camera one handed?

The Mazama pocket gopher is being considered for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act.
The U.S. government has launched the process of listing the Mazama pocket gopher as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. It joins two other South Puget Sound-area prairie species also on their way to being listed.
Evidence suggests four of nine Mazama pocket gopher subspecies are threatened with extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says.
To address that threat, the listing would designate 9,234 acres of prairie habitat in Thurston and Pierce counties as critical habitat.
That designation could limit use of the property, including property on Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

The process will take a year and will include opportunities for public comment.
The status of the prairie species has been a concern for a decade. In October, Fish and Wildlife proposed the Endangered Species Act listing for the Taylor's Checkerspot butterfly, which was determined to be in danger of becoming extinct, and the streaked horned lark, which is threatened.
The Mazama pocket gopher was proposed for listing then, but action was delayed 60 days after a letter from Gov. Chris Gregoire and the director of Fish and Wildlife requested more time to collect and process information.
The three species live in South Sound prairie lands. Only about 10 percent of the original prairie remains undeveloped; less than 3 percent of that is considered high-quality habitat.
The possible protection for the prairie species has raised concerns for landowners in rural Thurston County because the listings could limit land use and growth.
The county began creating a Habitat Conservation Plan that would set up a one-stop shop where landowners and builders could go for permits, ensuring they are compliant with both county and federal laws.
"The purpose of the Habitat Conservation Plan is to ensure long-term economic stability and sustainable development," said Ken Berg of U.S. Fish and Wildlife. "If the plan is completed and approved, landowners and business interests will have certainty that when the county issues a permit, that permit is compliant with the Endangered Species Act."
Prairie lands also are protected under the county's Critical Areas Ordinance.
Thurston County Planning Director Scott Clark said the county does not see any significant impact until the final determination of the species listing is made late next year.
"We are making sure we stay in front of this stuff by developing a plan to protect the species and how we avoid mitigation impacts," Clark said.
Land-use restrictions caused by the pocket gopher and the streaked horned lark would be less severe because both are potentially being listed as "threatened" instead of "endangered."
Because of that distinction, part of the listing proposal includes exemptions for small residential landowners and their properties. Any use of a property that would not otherwise require a permit from Thurston County would not require a permit under the Endangered Species Act, according to the proposed exemption.
But the possible listings not only pertain to Thurston and Pierce County property owners, but they also can affect Lewis-McChord.
Much of the base training ground is on prairie lands. Berg said the staff at JBLM has been planning for the possible endangered-species listing for a decade.
"They are ready for this, and they need help from the larger communities to conserve the prairie around the base," Berg said. "If land use around the base is not compatible, they will become an island of prairies in a sea of development that will affect their ability to train."
"If they can't train at Fort Lewis, they will have to go somewhere else … probably out of the state," Berg said.
Fish and Wildlife also ruled Monday that the Tacoma pocket gopher, another species reviewed for protection, is extinct.
There is a 60-day public- comment period on the proposed listing.

You may know her, she's (one of) the main characters of the game "Catherine" (PS3)
I love the way you have placed her against the background, despite the fact that normally these shades of red and pink clasp.
Thank you ~ Well, I didn't really had an idea how the background should look like but since the original colours are pink and black I was trying to use them without creating a bad effect... I hope you know what I mean ._.
Da fehlt ein Vincent, zwischen ihren Brüsten :'DDDD
Großartig <3
Großartig <3
Really good! Nice work! ^-^
She's my favorite character in the game~! I love her * 3* And you did so well on her, here! Congrats!
ahh I love her character. I actually popped the game back in ps3 again yesterday just to replay it a bit.
I really like the game too, me and a friend of mine played it many times to get the different endings, but were still not at the end... I hope there will be another game like this one day...
hmm maybe atlus will make one. Theres lots of dating mechanics in the persona 3 and 4 games so you should give those a whirl if you havent before.
I love it and the game is awesome too!

Hill-Thomas Stories Still Rankle
Fiquette, Larry, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
TWO NEW BOOKS on the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas dispute that have reached bookstores in recent days are stirring up that controversy anew, inviting us once more into partisan debate about the allegations that so engrossed and divided us in October 1991.
A book by Sen. John C. Danforth, "Resurrection," paints a personal, sympathetic picture of an emotionally overwrought Clarence Thomas unfairly and savagely put upon in Senate hearings.
The other, "Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas," was written by two Wall Street Journal reporters, Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson. They quote about 20 people who say they would have supported Hill or contradicted Thomas had they been allowed to testify at the time.
Last year, David Brock published his book "The Real Anita Hill: The Untold Story," contending that the evidence proves that Anita Hill lied.
Where lies the truth?
Every now and then, the media have to grapple with the problem of providing impartial coverage for such highly controversial issues that split the nation down the middle.
Did Bruno Hauptmann really kidnap and kill the Lindberghs' son in 1936? That debate outdid the O.J. Simpson case.
In 1954, did Dr. Sam Sheppard, rather than an intruder, really murder his wife on a Lake Erie shore, as he stoutly maintained? He was convicted and then acquitted in a second trial.
Was President Nixon a crook or a victim of a third-rate burglary at the Watergate apartments? Did President Clinton break the law in the Whitewater development? What about Rep. Dan Rotenkowski's troubles?
Our Founding Fathers decreed that some truths are self-evident, but a great many more are not. Wise heads maintain impartiality until a jury tells us the truth - or until historians reach consensus.
In the meantime, editors, doing as they best see fit, traditionally give some events more weight than others. Some writers are more reliable. Some publications are more trustworthy. Some news sources are more credible. Some allegations ring truer. Some photos are more appealing.
But many readers aren't marching to those same drumbeats. They can't - and don't - accept all such news judgments before the final verdict is in.
Thus, last week's front-page display given to the new Mayer-Abramson book supporting Anita Hill logically drew reader complaints.
Why was that on Page One - those are still unsupported allegations, aren't they? Those people weren't testifying under oath, were they?
David Brock didn't get Page One treatment for his book, did he? His sources were as credible as those in the pro-Hill book, aren't they? …

|ELECTRICAL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An electrical apparatus connected to a commercial power source includes: a case made of resin and housing a functional member; blades insert-molded in the case and each having an exposed part connected to the commercial power source and a resin facing part which is enclosed by the resin and all along an outer periphery of which a groove is formed; and elastic members each disposed between the resin and the resin facing part and having a fitting convex coming into close contact with the groove at the time of the insert molding.
|TRANSFORMER MOUNTED ON CIRCUIT BOARD WITH MAIN BODY SURROUNDED BY INSULATING COVER - A transformer
|HEATING DEVICE, REFLOW DEVICE, HEATING METHOD, AND BUMP FORMING METHOD - A solder bump is formed on a substrate by using a heating device where a lid structure blocks hot air from directly blowing against a solder composition. The heating device can reduce high-temperature oxygen molecules that come into contact with the solder composition, oxidation of the solder composition is suppressed. As a result, although the hot air is used for heating, a solder bump can be formed by the liquid-like solder composition. Further, because the lid structure is uniformly heated by the hot air, radiation heat from the lid structure is also uniform, and a container is more uniformly heated. In addition, because the hot air is suppressed from directly blowing against a liquid surface, the liquid-like solder composition is not scattered by the hot air.
|Transformer Driver and Transformer Driving Method - A transformer driver capable of making a load current constant with a simple configuration is provided. A driver

Comments From Runners
GReat course , but windy miles 6.5 - 9 . Enjoyed++ despite slowing at the end.
Good race. The marshals gave more encouragement in the second half. They barely spoke in the first half.
Feeling fitter now, so going to attempt a pb, if conditions are favourable I would like sub 1:35 but will settle for sub 1:37
***Update*** Official. just outside PB. Windy day and not helped with the beginnings of a cold.
Second time doing this got 1:18 something last year and trained a lot more this year and feeling fitter than I have for a while, hope to enjoy and WILL get a PB at the same time.
That was hard, couldn't handle the wind in the second half and did some very slow miles. Still won first V50.
Guaranteed PB as it's my first 10 miler. Will I be able to get close to 90 mins??? --- And I didn't. The wind was a real killer. But I gave it all I could, and am not too disappointed with the result.
Got my pb but didn't manage 1.30 that I wanted. Very windy, the last 3 miles were a battle!
Anything sub 1:11:30 will do me
OK, not with that wind I wasn't going to PB. Good hard race though.
P1 race, ideally like to run less than 58.15
Bloody hard work, wind assisted first half quite fast, and probably working a bit too hard to try and stay with faster runners, then hit the wind and died badly.
Got first M45 and 8th overall (I think).
Not too bad, be nice to have a weekend without a race now!
PB-really pleased
Hey Jude
Will add prediction nearer time. This could have been special but 62mins is more likely. Update wind and lack of fitness meant slow time
Yay, broke 120 barrier, am pleased. Just managed to retain the same pace through the wind tho it was tough. Started near the back and it was kinda fun picking people off one by one! Have realised am better at running on my own i think!
very windy day - couldn't push against it, legs felt too heavy. Something must be wrong!! Been to Drs for blood tests. REsults awaited.
If I 12 minute mile this 10 mile race I will be well happy. However, I would like to finish it in less than 2 hours, but as it's the first 10 mile race I will have run I am not sure how I will feel after 8 miles!!!
Just missed out on a PB, the headwind blowing over the fen between 6-9 miles slowed me right down. Nicely organised race, thanks Fenland runners
Got to be a PB - actually my first 10 mile race!!!!!
Was on for more like 1:12 until I got to mile 7 and the wind had other ideas about my pace! Still, a small PB I *think*, and perfectly respectable pace for a tempo run a week after a fast marathon
That was windy!
Sorry to those that bet on me. I can't believe that time.
Very enjoyable and well-organised race!
avg - 7.07 pace
splits - 6.46, 6.59, 7.01, 7.02, 6.58, 7.04, 7.11, 7.43, 7.23, 6.59

I had both inner and outer tie rod ends and bushings replaced and the problem persists. The steering gear moves when the steering wheel is turned right and left. I think the steering rack holddown bushings are bad. what should it cost to replace them.

text: The Death of a Dream; One Zimbabwean Farmer's Story For more than four decades, Larry Norton and his family farmed the same stretch of land in northern Zimbabwe. Here, he tells the devastating story of the pressures that forced him to leave 15 August 2002. I sit in a storage shed in Harare, surrounded by the chaotic elements of our life and home and our piles of possessions, and try to reflect on the past few days. Last Thursday, 8 August 2002, we evacuated our farm - Dahwye - in the Mvurwi region of Mashonaland in north-east Zimbabwe, about 100km from Harare, abandoning the home in which three generations of our family had lived for almost half a century. After two years of mayhem, we could not go on. The government-sponsored land invasions had begun in March 2000, shortly before our 14-month-old son Oscar died from cancer. We were unable to spend his last days on the farm because of the trouble. He died in an apartment in Harare surrounded by refugee farmers from Macheke, where in April that year David Stevens, a supporter of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), was the first white farmer to be killed. Since that time we have lived through the unparalleled destruction of country and economy, under the corrupt and dictatorial rule of President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu-PF party. Our farm has been a microcosm of the battlefield. My mother and father came north from South Africa in the 1950s. They worked as managers on various farms and borrowed money to purchase Dahwye in 1957. They nearly went broke, and for a time my father lived in a tent made from fertilizer bags while he opened up a tobacco farm in virgin bush. It was in an area described on the map as "Terra Incognita", but he made enough money there to pay off the loan. We returned to Dahwye in the mid-1960s. I was born in 1963. Over the next 40 years, my parents developed Dahwye and later Braidjule Farm into fully irrigable units, farming tobacco, maize, wheat and cattle. A game-farming operation on the marginal parts of the farm resulted in massive herds of wildebeest, zebra, impala, eland and tsessebe. Excess animals were sold to expand the wildlife business. My father conducted more than 3 decades of pasture research work and perfected legume/grass pastures in the harsh wetlands, increasing carrying capacities twentyfold. For him, the farm was not his own, it was a heritage for us, and our children. Every cent was reinvested in dams, irrigation and development. In 1999, Sara and I decided to build our home in the Dahwye Game Park, not far from where we were married. The old farm cottage we had lived in was falling apart and we decided to develop the wildlife and tourism potential by building a guest lodge and launching a safari operation. It was not to be. Soon after our magnificent home was complete, Oscar's long illness disrupted our plans. The land invasions put an end to them. Our last day on the farm was a nightmare. We still had tons of household goods and machinery to move. Early in the day Zanu-PF youth and settlers illegally broke through the homestead fence to erect a flag near the lorry we were packing up. The police were called in and the mob was dispersed as far as the gates of the security fence, where the police officer advised that they should watch us in case we tried to steal anything. (Once a farmer has received a Section 8 - a final notice to quit farming - he may not remove certain assets from the farm.) They lit fires and hacked the word "Zimbabwe" into an old Msasa tree standing at the gate. The waiting media were made unwelcome by the police. During our last drive around Dahwye, my father said it looked as empty of wildlife as when he had first seen it. Finally we stopped to collect a bag of soil to take to Cape Town. As my father watched, tears rolled down his face. Finally, we paid off the staff and at my father's request bowed our heads in a prayer of thanks for the long years we had lived and worked together. We had left the workers some cattle and hardware to assist in their new lives. My mother sobbed and tears burned in my eyes as we said goodbye to these people and left them to their fate. Mum locked the house for the last time. At last, our final convoy of 4 vehicles left the rubbishstrewn thatched house that had been a family home for 46 years. We drove towards the gate. The mob locked the gate as we approached. Sensing a bad situation, my father, in the lead vehicle, did not hesitate; he revved the engine and smashed through the gate. We left Dahwye, without looking back, our beloved farm empty now of cattle, game and equipment, in parts burned out and already derelict. Alive only with the sound of axes and dogs. Irrigable land lies fallow, the dams stand full of water and soon the spectre of hunger will stalk the empty fields, as settlers dig for mice beneath the weeds. The night we left the main pump for the housing area was stolen, and the mob broke into my studio and office and my parents' home, which I hear is to become a beer hall. The Dahwye we have known and loved is dead. Many impressions come to mind as I try to recall the events of the past 2 ï½½ years. First, I recall my son Oscar's memorial service, held at the same rock altar in the game park where Sara and I were married and where our children were christened. It is a naturally sacred place. As the service began two fish eagles appeared overhead, circling and ululating their haunting cry, witnessed by the 250 people gathered below. By April this year, resettlement pressure on Dahwye was growing. Zanu-PF youth, who could not be paid for their work during the presidential election, were allocated our farm instead. The youth base commander began to build his hut at the rock altar. Our workers were appalled at an act so sacrilegious to traditional culture that they appealed to him to stop. But this was clearly a psychological strategy designed to cause us maximum pain. For the next 3 months Sara and the children would have to go past this obscenity on their way to school. Huts multiplied across the game park. We watched our game in despair, wandering amid the chaotic resettlements, surrounded by dogs, people, huts and fires. Pillars of light rose into the night sky from the settlers fires. Entire segments of the country were consumed in an orgy of burning. By a small miracle we obtained a game capture permit from the authorities. In a dramatic operation, over 5 weeks, we captured, saved and sold about 180 tsessebe, 75 zebra, 60 wildebeest, 3 eland, 85 impala and 12 ostriches. We had already lost animals to poaching and I am convinced that many of the settlers in our game park came with meat in mind. Our children attended Barwick Primary School, not far from our farm. Teachers there have described the deep trauma that they have observed in farmers' children who, over the past 2 years, have been silent victims of the baying mobs and the daily humiliations their families have endured on the farms. The ever-present anxiety they observe in their parents is silently taken in. I have often seen our own children trying to work out ways to protect us from the daily dramas. During the weekends and holidays, security briefings on the farm radios do not allay their fears. When things have been bad children have expressed fear at returning to boarding school as they have to leave their parents alone on the farms. There have been times during this ordeal that have been worse than others. When farms were being burned and looted in the nearby districts of Chinhoyi, Mhangura, Doma and Hwedza, we waited, expecting the worst. Some members of our family were trapped in their home, unable to escape as their neighbours were being ransacked. Packed suitcases and food rations stood in the hallway at all times, in preparation for a hurried exit. The house was emptied long ago of sentimental objects and photographs. As a community we tried to plan for worst-case scenarios. Community plans for the evacuation of schools were, and still are, realities that those in farming areas face on their own. Before Oscar died, we planted a little Christmas tree that we had bought for him in Cape Town. The day before we left the farm, we dug up the tree and replanted it beside the children's ward of St Anne's Hospital, Harare, where the nuns (who remember Oscar from his stay there) have decided that it will be decorated each Christmas, and that from now on it will be called Oscar's Tree. It is hard to describe the courage I have witnessed in my own family. My dad and mum, 73 and 64 respectively, humorous even amid the destruction of all they have loved and worked for, battling to finish the job of packing up their home and farm. Sara, my wife, determined even under these adverse circumstances to raise money for the Red Cross Children's Hospital, which looked after Oscar. She trained for the London Marathon on farm roads throughout the mayhem, ran the marathon and raised ï½£7,000 for the hospital. My daughter Megan, who is 11 years old, a rock for all of us, always smiling and unfazed. My five-year-old son Ben, who cried often for the loss of his beloved farm, decided that we should make crosses and scatter them around the farm and throughout our house to protect it in our absence. Madeleine, who is six months old, is one of the few people in Zimbabwe, oblivious to its woes, who has smiled through it all. The unreported daily acts of courage and integrity by farmers in this impossible time must be mentioned. Their lonely vigils against the forces of intimidation have been humbling to observe. One day, I hope it will be recognized. Even now, impossible labour laws and propaganda have in some situations turned the labourers against them. Farmers are barricaded into their homes by labourers demanding pay and gratuities few can afford. In the past 2 years, I have seen young men take on the visage of battle-weary soldiers, with lined faces and grey hair, as they strive to protect family, friends and defenceless farm. I have seen their desperation as the authorities and so-called new landlords have prevented them from moving their own equipment, livestock and household goods from their seized farms. I was told, categorically, by a war veteran leader in front of a mob of 200 people, that we would not move one thing off our farm. Fortunately, he failed. Now that we are in Harare, and off the farm, there is time to try to analyze what we have been through. We are sharing a house with another displaced family, the Mitchells from Beitbridge. Billy's father collapsed and died from a heart attack soon after they received government papers of acquisition earlier this year. One thing I have learnt, as we try to make sense of these terrible events, is that it is impossible to judge any farmer or farming community by the course of action they have followed. Each farm and farmer has faced a unique circumstance. All have fought lonely battles against overwhelming odds, outgunned by the full force of state machinery. We don't want sympathy. Many farm workers, rural black people and opposition supporters have faced worse. Some of us can move from here. I, at least, have another trade, as a wildlife painter. Others have no options. The government has, by its own definition, attempted to conduct an ethnic cleansing of the farmland. White farmers, by nature of their race, have been targeted for displacement at a time of fast-approaching and unparalleled starvation. Why? Why, 20 years into Zimbabwe's nationhood, this sudden assault? The answer lies, of course, in two bloody and farcial elections, the results of which have failed to impress the world. No one disputes the need for viable, transparent land reform, although it's significant to note that about 60% of white-owned farms were purchased after independence, under Zimbabwean law. The parallels between watching Oscar die from cancer and our beloved Dahwye's slow destruction are profound. The grief process of watching that which you love slowly destroyed is the same. My soul will always be in Dahwye. It holds my earliest memories and those of my children - and no one, by decree or destruction, can ever take that away.

Having lost their three main receivers from 2013 (Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn) and replaced them with spackle in the form of Jerricho Cotchery, Jason Avant and Tiquan Underwood, http://nfl.si.com/2014/04/24/2014-nfl-draft-needs-nfc/2/ Yes, we lost the mortar and replaced it with spackling. Losing the 3 Amigos from last year will create huge holes that Gettlemen is going to try to fill with mud. Over 9 catches per game--gone forever. What will we do? Cotchery, Underwood, and Avant only combined for about 7 catches per game last year, so we are talking about 2 balls per game---BEFORE we draft a stud rookie. Sounds like an upgrade that saved us a lot of cap money to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I've been riding my conversion for 4 or 5 months now, and I noticed recently that the headtube/downtube lug is seperated from the downtube on one side. I also notice creaking sounds coming from the front end of the bike when I'm in the drops or on the hoods. I bought this frame used and I don't know its history, though it was pretty apparent that it had had the **** beat out of it. I crashed it maybe 3 or 4 times, though not very severely. Is the separation becuse of sloppy brazing or from crashes and abuse? Will this frame catastrophically blow up under me while I'm cranking up a hill or skidding in traffic? I am somewhat sentimentally attached to this frame because it is pretty and my first conversion and all, but I will can it and replace if the frame is unsafe.
you can fit a piece of paper this far under it.
thanks- pirate

When it comes to disaster recovery, the cloud is showing itself to be a mixed bag. CIO.com's Jeff Vance explains how the great shift in technology has both lowered the entry barriers for DR technology and given smaller businesses what could be a dangerous sense of false security.
This cool button delivers CIO stories to you on Facebook:
Cloud computing is slowly upending the disaster recovery market. Only a few years ago, disaster recovery meant one of two things: For large organizations, it necessitated huge capital investments; for the mid-market on down, it meant backing up only the most important data to tape and shuffling it off to a secure location.
Actually, there's a third thing. For many organizations, even today, disaster recovery (DR) means doing the bare minimum, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
The cloud is changing all of that. On one hand, it is democratizing DR, making it affordable for even SMBs to sign up for DR services. On the other, the disruption is causing confusion, often giving companies a false sense of security and luring them into bad decisions.
An SMB can take advantage of such free or cheap services as Dropbox,Box or SkyDrive, and many can confidently (and not incorrectly) say that this is a sufficient DR plan. In fact, what most organizations don't realize is that part of their DR plan are the evolving habits of knowledge workers, mirroring what many SMBs are doing for DR.
As knowledge workers become ever more mobile and rely on a growing array of mobile devices, they constantly move critical information out of corporate data stores and into their personal, cloud-based storage simply to make that data accessible from anywhere on any device.
There are problems with this approach, obviously, but it means that if a disaster strikes, your sales team will likely have a customer list it can access. Public relations pros will have key press contacts at their fingertips, and developers will simply access their latest projects in the cloud, where they probably already had been.
What should be obvious to you by now is that even if you are wary of the cloud for DR purposes, you are already deeply entangled in cloud-based DR through your tech-savvy employees.
Today's businesses are focused on leveraging the power of innovation to tackle new challenges caused by disruptive technologies. The 2015 edition of Leaders' Meet promised to address just that. A three-day engagement platform, hosted by Tata Communications and attended by IT decision makers from India's leading organizations, encouraged ideation, discussion and co-creation among the CIO community.
This Frost & Sullivan paper compares bare metal Cloud configurations with the more common virtualized Cloud configurations.
Thanks to mobile and Internet, job hunting can now be done on the go. V Suresh of Naukri.com speaks about the how the transformation came about.
