5.11 Tactical joins forces with Special Operations Combat Veteran (RET) Kyle E. Lamb. He served his country for 21 years, 17 of which were with the most elite elements of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. He has been decorated for valor in Mogadishu, Somalia, during the battle that was made famous by the movie Blackhawk Down. He was also decorated for valor during Operation Iraqi Freedom. SGM Lamb is one of the most credible and sought-after shooting and tactics instructors in the country. The owner of Viking Tactics (VTAC™), his master-level expertise comes directly from real-world experience. 5.11 Tactical partners with VTAC to bring you the most functional web gear around, with MOLLE compatibility and 5.11's SlickStick™ system.
beware of ordering on line from discounted sites. most of the time you will receive a product that has failed the manufacturing standards and thus will fail during use. I have found 5.11 tactical products, when bought from reputable retailers (such as Galls) to be exemplary in both quality and performance. I have tried to same a few bucks in the past but have learned an expensive lesson. Choose wisely, especially when your gear may effect your and others safety. I would recommend 5.11 products to anyone... would like for the price to be a bit lower
I have used this bag for approximately 2 years now. Heavy duty and tons of storage. I've used it daily on patrol, hiking, camping and it continues to take a beating. No problems with stitching, zippers or material.
I bought this bag as my first responder/work bag. I am a EMT by profession and volunteer as first responder for my local Fire Dept. I have had the bag 2 weeks and the stitching on the main zipper has already failed. The bag is comfortable and has lots of room for gear. I am very disappointed in 5.11 quality and expect a lot more for a bag of this price. I will not recommend this or any other 5.11 gear or clothes to anyone. I have also had 5.11 pants that the stitching failed also.

Industrial Design magazine put an industrial-size spotlight on undergraduate Industrial Design student Charlie Weber in its three-part series that highlights nine accomplished class of 2013 interior design students.
Charlie Weber attributes his interest in design to "being very attuned to successful and not-so-successful design details in the products that I interact with-things that were surprising, aggravating, smart, lust-worthy," he says.
After getting a degree in architecture, working for small firm and then losing that job when the housing bubble burst, Weber said he took a bicycle frame building class and realized, "I wanted to concentrate on designing products," he says.

Classes are more difficult than you would expect. The university is trying to change it's image not only from a party school, but also from an "easy" school. There are some great professors but there are also professors that are full of themselves or have accents so thick you can't understand a word they're saying. We're still on semesters which I'm a fan of and it makes registration a lot more bearable since you only have to deal with the system and the guidance counselors twice a year.
The weather is always sunny its Arizona. It can be unbearable when it reaches 100 degrees but they even offer online classes if you live on campus. Hello staying in pajamas all day and still at college.
There are many diversities at ASU. The student staff alone shows diversity. I don't feel there are any race or ethnic issues. There are four different campuses not including students who are online.
Health & Safety:
There is an actual police station on the tempe campus. I only take online classes but I still get daily updates regarding my safety. This is fantastic. I don't feel unsafe. I like that they take into consideration all students. I also see when I have to go on campus security is everywhere.
Pleased overall. Classes are hard but interesting. Suspect harder than average.
Generally hot, but we are in Phoenix. Misters throughout, good shade.
Am only in my first semester. Have really enjoyed my classes and professors thus far. All willing to go the extra mile to teach and explain. I do think that more is required of students in traditional freshman classes. Definitely some busy work in most classes. Overall a great school, am proud to be a student here
Health & Safety:
I generally feel very safe on campus. Have not ran into any issues at all. Have not needed held from campus security,but have noticed them out and about. Have left stuff around without fear of theft. No problems walking at night. Well lit. Lots of foot traffic
Extremely expensive unless you want to ride the bus (from free parking)
Pretty hot most of the time, however the whether in spring is terrific.
Guys & Girls:
The variety of guys and girls at ASU is massive. Most of the guys are athletic, but the other ones are pretty hipster. The men are totally attractive, and usually very smart! The girls are beautiful! The majority of the school is physically in shape. Its a pretty attractive school. I'm a bio major and the people that share the same major with me are very good looking, contrary to popular belief!
ASU has the lightrail, that will go from Mesa to Phoenix and makes stops at and around ASU, so that's helpful. There is a bud called "Flash" that drives students around campus, and a shuttle that drives students to a from each of the campuses, and since there are 4 its really helpful for people who have class on multiple campuses.
Health & Safety:
There are a lot of bikers that don't pay much attention, and many times they crash into people. They're not supposed to bike in the crowd but security never stops them (I've actually never seen the security.) There is quite a lot of theft as well. Laptops and bikes are stolen frequently. Other than that, the school is safe. The only complaints are that some of the people don't comply to rules.
Health & Safety:
I feel the environment at ASU is very safe. Campus police and city of Tempe police are very visible. I have never felt unsafe and haven't heard negative feedback from friends.
Drug Safety:
Drugs are available in any university but I don't think there is a sever problem at ASU
Off-Campus Housing:
There are several apartments, condos, and housing near campus with reasonable pricing.
Football is decent. Basketball is decent. Baseball is excellent. Softball is good. Soccer is good for both men and women. Wrestling is a bit below par.
Campus Housing:
The Hassyampa and Barett dorms are very nice, new and good quality. The Best, Irish, McClintock, Palo Verde, both East and West, and San Pablo dorms are somewhat older and decent in terms of condition however they are somewhat below par.
The school is strict in terms of keeping students within the law, however the moral code of conduct is relaxed.
Local Area:
Tempe is a great college city. Mill Avenue is a popular street where most of the college students go to drink at the bars. Others enjoy shopping and walking down Mill Ave or enjoying a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants. There are many places to go visit on campus as well including the Arizona State University art museum, grab a snack or coffee in the Memorial Union, work out in the Student Recreation Complex, or go study in one of the many University libraries. For an older crowd, ten minutes north of Tempe is beautiful Scottsdale. Old Town Scottsdale is a Mill Ave alternative. With many shopping centers, gourmet restaurants and bars to choose from, Tempe and Scottsdale provide an array of exciting daytime and nighttime activities.
There are so many opportunities for internships, there are a lot of resources available to help you find and get one. Talk to advisors especially, they are there to help you and will guide you in the right direction.
Health & Safety:
I do feel pretty uncomfortable at night, but there is campus security and you can call for a safety escort if need be.
Drug Safety:
There are drugs on campus. If you are around people who do that stuff, it's a lot. Especially in the residence halls. But you can definitely stay away from it too. Just choose the right people to spend time with.
There are a lot of rules, it just depends how you try to go about following them or not whether you get caught or not
Campus Quality:
I love the school itself and the staff seems pretty good so far, however, there are a lot of students that have other things on their mind rather than school.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

May 22 2010Bad Things Really Do Come In Small Packages: Latest Video Of Littledog
Note: Video is after the jump because it's too disturbing for the front page.
Remember BigDog? Remember its redheaded stepbrother, LittleDog? I know, I've been trying to drink away the memory too. But this is reality folks, and it's time we face the facts. And the fact is this thing is probably gonna kill us all. I'M JUST KEEPIN' IT REAL. That said, there's no way you can watch the way LittleDog moves and tell me it's not some kind of top-secret genetically modified womprat hybrid in a robot suit. I'm on to you, government! And don't even THINK about big brothering my ass unless you want binoculars full of schlong. I'm being serious. *waving penis around like a helicopter* Oh. My. God. I'm hovering -- I'M HOVERING!
Hit the jump for the disturbing video.

I can't get over how retarded people can be to be proud of being first. It just rpoves you have no life were waiting on this site for another post. Seriously, get a job.
I like how he said "possibly" dangerous robots!
But it's so little and cute. How could you think it'd ever want to hurt anybody, that cutie wootie come here give me a smoochy you widdel cuddwy ting.
(Famous last words. But they should it cute, with big sad eyes and soft fur, and then the public will get used to having these robots on every street corner closely watching you for sudden movement.)
I think I just shat myself a little bit. Is it wrong that I want to ride one of those to work?
Do I have to potty train it if i get one? or is that pre programmed also?
I'll buy one.
Fuck man, I want off this planet. The Robot Apocalypse is nigh
Autism has never sounded so scientifically professional.
off fuck he has special moves! FUCKING SPECIAL MOVES......ARGHHHH
The way it moved remind me of No Face from that movie "Spirited Away".
I lol'd when it fell to that obstacle.

That thing will go to Mars.
That lost shot is creepy. It's coming right for us!
oh crap now the Daleks have mastered stairs we're screwed!
omg gw...seriously get rid of the drop down ads on the front page. wtf....
what is it with you and "robots are going to end us" thing. you realize that it is physically impossible for a robot to have a mind of its own, right? i don't care how many cheap 1 star horror movies you have watched it will never happen. robots are programmed how we want them, and even when they are programmed to learn they only learn in ways that we want. i only am saying this because i've gotten pretty tired of your blind ignorance and its just not funny anymore.
ladies and gentlemen... we are all FUCKED..
oh and @23.. Tim.. I see your point and completely disagree with you.. personally I think it's a dead heat between the Robot Apocalypse, the Zombie Apocalypse (see the man made DNA post from yesterday.. thnx GW), the 2012 doomsday theories, hell, I'll even toss nuclear warfare and social economic collapse as to what may be the demise of life as we know it. But think of it this way.. when they first invented the computer, do you suppose they knew there would be gigs of computing power available in a cell phone, they didn't even have cell phones.. and i'm sure as shit they didn't invent the computer and then say, ok next lets make a robot that walks and learns on its own... my point being.. they didn't know what is/are the limits of scientific technology, and neither do you my friend.. they made a robot LEARN.. on its own..
Change is the nature of our being.. but we honestly don't have a fucking clue what is coming.. ANYTHING is possible...
any who... just my $.02
We're as good as dead
@25.... Thank you for that. You're amazing,
@23 Clearly the English language is lost on you as you're missing the literary device known as sarcasm (as subtle as it may be) that is being employed with all of the apocalypse posts on Geekologie. I'd suggest you go brush up on your language skills before you get bent out of shape over the posts the GW comes up with. Nobody is force feeding you this website; if you don't find it amusing, go elsewhere.
Also, although the robot apocalypse is highly unlikely, the limits of artificial intelligence are completely unknown, and it's not only ignorant but also impossible for you to state that computers will never be able to learn. The human brain is nothing more than a really complex computer (or computers in a mesh network). Although humans are the ones that tell a computer how to behave, who is to say we can't one day achieve the same level of learning in a computer that our brain has? We're getting one step closer each day. Computers have far surpassed our computational abilities and can one day better us in reasoning and learning because they're not bound by the biology they're born into (our body, specifically our brain).
Also, what are you doing trying to (incorrectly and un-educatedly) argue a point on Geekologie? You're only supposed to try and write the first post or make fun of those who do. Don't bring logic here, you're just going to lose.
Are you sure it's not the new Tool video before post-processing?
I dont know if anyone else realised that DARPA logo at the end.....this is gona be militry stufff!! Its war of the worlds all over again (minus tom cruise)
Forced by the pressures of life, people of breath. Have you ever thought to make our lives easier ever?

Fashion clothes, fashion bags, different styles of clothing.
More styles and colors let you pick. Do not let the pressure overwhelm us.

great, now all it needs now is to speed up and soon it will be a new war machine.
DARPA? The DARPA chief!? Metal Gear in the making!? SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
This, my friends, are the WARGS of the future!
That's pretty cool..until you get to the part about 'human interaction with dangerous robots'. WTF. crazy.
If only AT-AT's had this technology. The Empire would have won...
anyone else reminded of the creepy robotic hound from Fahrenheit 451? they just need to combine it with the robot that gives you shots, and there you go, the end is nigh.
looks like a stop-motion movie
aww, it looks like a cute head-less monkey :D
@23 shut your fucking face uncle fucker. Nobody gives a shit what you think. Plus your stupid for completely ruling out the possibility that robots can take over. Of course anything we have now can't do this but in the future we will have real artificial intelligence. but I suppose it's just that you can't comprehend something like that...
Um, did anyone else catch the dialogue @ 1:58: "An additional benefit for such controller is that it allows for safer human interaction with possibly dangerous robots".
@ everyone. i'm surprised this doesn't concern more of you. notice the DARPA emblem. i dont care if computing machinery of any kind can become intelligent or conscious. the people who control it are. are in this case they are bad people. but fuck it lets crack some jokes and ignore it right?
Not even ED 209 did all this stuff. I'll buy 30 and I will invade U.S.A.
@23 - did you ever consider that someone might program a robot in a way that YOU didn't like, or that someone without any morals or ethics might program a robot (10-20 years down the track) to go around killing everything that moves? Extend this to robots that operate from a mobile command vehicle with a few-hundred kilometre range. Extend this again to robots that are repaired by other robots. What if there was a 'robot in every home' 200 years down the line, and said robot's 'brain' was implanted with a psychotic kill mode that engaged on a certain date? Perhaps you are right that robots won't ever be 'smarter' than us, but if they never need to sleep or eat or drink, are deadly accurate with weapons, their improved 'efficiency' could well mean many, many people dead.
Now if they'd just quip this little robot with a tiny lazer for burning out kitten's eyes I'd be all over it...
@23 did you not see that damn thing learning when it made a wrong step? Computers aka robots can learn, if in the wrong hands it can be a bad thing. We are so worried about weapons of mass destuction, do you not think a robot with the right tools can cause mass detruction? There needs to be more regulation of robots if you ask me.
Sit Boo boo.....
bad ass
Strap a bomb on that shit and then i'll give it an A+
Anyone else notice that the logo at the end is a robot holding a fresh human brain?! (Can be seen better at http://www-clmc.usc.edu/ website given in the video).
This guy is why robots will kill us all. Because of what the jocks did to him. http://www-clmc.usc.edu/uploads/Main/HomePage/master.jpg
Im too stupid to be scared.
DAMMIT! The man in the video HAD to go and say "safe human interaction". I'm not now picturing armies of dog robots ripping us limb from limb, uh-uh.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The surname Mix is likely patronymic in origin, derived from the personal name of the father of the original bearer. In this case, Mix comes from a short form of Mikusch, which in turn comes from the Slavic personal name Mikolaj. The surname Mix's association with western Germany and the lands that were once Silesia and Lusatia, now part of Poland, explains it Slavic origin.
The surname Mix was first found in Silesia, Lusatia, and Saxony, where the name contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation which would later play a large role in the tribal and national conflicts of the area. In later years the name branched into many houses, each playing a significant role in the local social and political affairs. Early mentions of the name Mix in records include Mikusch in Breslau in 1346, Mikusch Schoppe in Niess in 1414, and Niclas Mickisch in Görlitz in 1490.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Micksch, Micka, Micke, Mick, Mix, Mickusch, Mickan, Mickat, Mika, Mikulas, Mukula, Mikes, Mikulasek, Micka, Miska, Misek and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mix research. Another 123 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1662, 1656, 1660, 1721, 1690, 1761, 1707, 1717 and 1721 are included under the topic Early Mix History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 105 words (8 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Mix Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Mix Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Mix Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Mix Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Mix Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
The Mix Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Mix Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Museum Education and
Controversial Art: Living
on a Fault Line
E. Louis Lankford
University of Missouri-St. Louis
Kelly Scheffer
University of Missouri-St. Louis, and St. Charles Community College
No art museum is immune from the risk of controversy associated with works of art, regardless of the nature of the museum's collections or exhibitions. Controversy usually arises when individuals who are unaffiliated with a museum judge an exhibited work of art to be egregiously offensive and take action to undermine the museum's authority to determine the content of its galleries. An artwork is most commonly judged to be offensive if it violates dominant beliefs, values, tastes, and mores of society, especially those pertaining to sex or religion. It is argued that art controversies are partially by-products of audience development aimed at building a larger and more diverse visitor base and a willingness by museums to accept more risks with exhibitions of contemporary art. To illustrate their points, the authors describe circumstances of a controversy that flared when the Museum of International Folk Art exhibited Our Lady, an artwork by Alma López that triggered strong reactions from the Hispanic Catholic community of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Throughout the paper, reference is made to special challenges that museum educators, both staff and volunteer docents, face during a controversy. In the final sections, the authors provide a number of concrete proposals for how museums, and museum educators in particular, can effectively prepare for and respond to controversy.
Let us begin with a fundamental assertion: Any work of art may be controversial. Asany veteran art museum educator can verify, the reality is that however much people may agree with each other, they still collectively hold an infinite variety of opinions, values, and perceptions. Nowhere is this more evident than in responses to works of art. No artwork is so mundane or so innocuous as to be exempt from stirring the fires of indignation; no artwork is so laudable as to be immune from critical scrutiny and condemnation. Most of the time people can tolerate differences of opinion concerning art, but from time to time those differences can become almost unbearable. When works of art for one reason or another perturb people in the extreme, such that lines are drawn and defensive and offensive actions are taken by opposing sides, it is a case of controversial art. Fortunately extreme cases are relatively rare, but when they do occur they can rock artistic careers, shake up entire museums, and cause the artworld to quake.

Former Meridan High School and current Mississippi State Quarterback Tyler Russell has undergone surgery on his throwing shoulder.
CSS reporter Emily Gagnon told Newscenter 11 well-know physician Dr. James Andrews performed surgery on a torn Labrum in Russell's right shoulder in Pencacola, Florida.
The 5th-year senior initially suffered the injury in Mississippi State's November loss to Alabama, but worsened it the following week against Arkansas. Russell will rehab that shoulder before he prepares for April's NFL Draft.
Dr. Andrews has performed surgery on Brett Favre, Albert Pujols and Drew Brees among a host of other professional athletes.

the first-ever Public office that James Polk held was that of chief clerk of the Senate of Tennessee, but he resigned from it in order to campaign for the state legislature. John Polk's powerful oration earned him victory and fame in his political contests. In the year 1824, when Andrew Jackson stood for the post of President, James Polk contested for the post of the House of Representatives. In the 1844 Presidential Election, the Democratic Party candidate James Polk emerged as a winner over the Whig Party candidate Henry Clay.
James Polk assumed the President's office in the year 1845 and was the youngest President of the time. He carried on with his responsibility as US President till 1849. James Polk had clear administrative policies that included the re-establishment of the Independent Treasury System, the purchase of California from Mexico, the reduction of tariffs and acquisition of some or all of Oregon, as a way to end the protracted boundary dispute.
the tariff reduction was made into effect when the Walker Tariff was approved by the Congress in 1846. the free trade was introduced in US following this approval. This action made James Polk a popular leader in the West and South of US. After the law regarding the restoration of the Independent Treasury System was passed in 1846, the Government funds were received in the treasury deposit offices. these offices were totally independent of the state or private banks. these policies helped considerably in the stability of US economy.
After his retirement as the President, James Polk survived for only 103 days. Of all the US Presidents, James Polk records the shortest retirement at the age of 53.
A number of the famous quotations by James Polk are as follows :
- "No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure".
- "Although... the Chief Magistrate must almost of necessity be chosen by a party and stand pledged to its principles and measures, yet in his official action he should not be the President of a party only, but of the whole people of the United States".
- "Peace, plenty, and contentment reign throughout our borders, and our beloved country presents a sublime moral spectacle to the world".

A close up on the Lower Manhattan skyline, with the Freedom Tower, taken from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Hmm what to say. There are really allot of good things to say about this pic. Your lighting is particularly good though, and it serves to bring out that mysterious city ambiance that you were probably going for. I am also particularly fond of the balance. The position you chose makes an excellent vantage point, giving you a wide array of things to look at. That is great because theres very few areas where there isn't something interesting to look at. The only drawback I can find is the grittiness of the picture. If you inflate the image you can really see how the detail is obscured. All and all a good photo though
The Artist thought this was FAIR
2 out of 2 deviants thought this was fair.
very beautiful...nice work Alex..Keep it up and thanks for sharing with us.
Outstanding capture, Alex.
Wonderful! Absolute wonderful. I have to revisit NY again soon!
The borders aren't doing it for me with this picture. But I like the shot. The softness vs the sharpness looks good, the colours are vibrant and lights in the bottom make it a bit more special.
This lovely work has been featured here: Architecture, Urban and Rural Spotlight Vol. 15.

A Florida legislator wants to introduce a law prohibiting bestiality.
Sen. Nan Rich is putting forward a bill (SB 448) that would make it a third degree felony to have sex with an animal. It's an issue that has gained attention after a series of goat rapes in the Panhandle town of Mossy Head.
Right now, people who have sex with animals can be charged with animal cruelty, but prosecutors have to prove animals were injured because of the act.
Rich wants to make sure defendants can't win their cases for lack of that proof.

SEOUL, Oct. 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's spy agency confirmed Tuesday that the North has restarted its Yongbyon reactor that had been mothballed since 2007.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told lawmakers from the National Assembly's Intelligence Committee that the five megawatt graphite moderated reactor has been in operation since around August of this year.
The confirmation is the first to come out of the NIS, although independent foreign sources who analyzed commercial satellite images have speculated that the reactor could have been operating for some weeks.
The reactor, located 90 kilometers north of Pyongyang, has been cited for producing plutonium for the North's nuclear weapons program before it was shut down under a deal brokered at the six-party talks six years ago. The North had blown up the reactor's cooling tower in 2008 to show its seriousness about suspending operations.
Pyongyang, however, announced in early April of this year when tensions spiked on the Korean Peninsula that it would restart work on the small reactor, which does not generate any energy, and use it to strengthen the country's nuclear deterrence.
The move is seen by many in Seoul as an attempt by Pyongyang to pressure the United States to come to the negotiating table and resolve the decades-old standoff by pointing out that the North holds the upper hand and will make more weapons. The North has insisted on no preconditions, while Washington has made clear that Pyongyang must first announce its willingness to abide by its denuclearization pledges.
The country's spy agency also claimed at Tuesday's closed door parliamentary session that the North conducted an engine test for a long range rocket at its Tongchang-ri launch site on the west coast, said Rep. Cho Won-jin, the leading member of the parliamentary committee for the ruling Saenuri Party.
The lawmaker said that the intelligence agency believes Pyongyang has bolstered its naval forces and increased its artillery presence in the form of long-range multiple rocket launcher systems (MRLS). He said the NIS indicated MRLS are facing the South Korean capital city region, Gangwon Province and the so-called five Seohae Islands that form the sea-boundary in the Yellow Sea.
There have been numerous clashes around these islands, including the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in November of 2011 that left four people dead.
Cho then said the spy agency's chief Nam Jae-joon pointed out that the North was making large numbers of 122 millimeter and 240 millimeter MRLSs from factories in Nampho and Hamhung. He also said that the country even revised its war planning guidelines to say it will use force to unify with South Korea within three years.
On the controversial issue surrounding measures to reform the spy agency, Nam stressed that plans centered on building strong safeguards against any kind of intervention by agents in internal politics will strengthen the agency's counter-espionage and North Korean intelligence gathering capabilities. Merging operations aimed at detecting anti-South Korean organizations both inside and outside the country will also aid in this, he said. The plan may be forwarded for parliamentary review within the month.
The director general told lawmakers that he did not feel responsibility for allegations that agents posted comments on Internet portal sites leading up to last year's presidential election, which are said to have helped the ruling party candidate. The official added that because of this, he did not feel the need to resign from his post.
Nam has maintained that the deed was carried out under the previous Lee Myung-bak administration before President Park Geun-hye took office in late February. This view is shared by Park, who said that she did not benefit from the action carried out without her knowledge.
Aside from such claims, the official also said he was aware that 10 members of a North Korean performance group allegedly connected to a scandal involving the country's first lady Ri Sol-ju had been executed.
Foreign media first reported a possible scandal involving Ri before her marriage to leader Kim Jong-un and said those who know the truth were shot to death in order to put a lid on the embarrassing incident that could undermine Kim's leadership. He said that while he knew people were executed, he could not verify if they were connected in any way to Ri.
In addition, Nam said that the North Korean leader may be losing favor with the people by spending exorbitant amounts of money of various beautification projects, theme parks and sports facilities.
He speculated that money spent in these areas totaled US$300 million, which is enough to buy 800,000 tons of corn that could feed the North for 2-3 months.
The spy agency, meanwhile, said that 44 percent of senior commanders above corps commander rank in the Korean People's Army have been changed since Kim took power after the sudden death of his father Kim Jong-il in late 2011. Such a move can be seen as the new leader's effort to consolidate his hold on the military. It said of 218 senior posts, Kim appointed 97 new officers.
The NIS head also touched on the recent scandal involving a progressive South Korean lawmaker who was recently arrested for plotting to overthrow the government in the event of a war breaking out with the North. He said said he received reports that the lawmaker, Rep. Lee Seok-ki, kept 30 personal bodyguards, and that authorities had voice recordings of him calling on his followers to rise up when the call to arms is given.
On the controversial 2007 summit meeting between late President Roh Moo-hyun and his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-il, Nam verified that the NIS had the voice data recording of the talks, but admitted that it was not able to determine if the contents could be disclosed to the public at present.

Nobel Symposium, Oslo: ICRC takes part in Peace Prize Centennial
07-12-2001 News Release 01/48
One hundred years after Red Cross founder Henry Dunant shared the first Nobel Peace Prize with Frédéric Passy, the Nobel Peace Prize Centennial Symposium is being held this week in Norway. The Symposium provides a venue for more than 30 Peace Prize laureates and many other distinguished personalities to engage in dialogue on the general topic of " Conflicts of the 20th century and solutions for the 21st " . Vice-President Jacques Forster is representing the ICRC and took part in a panel discussion on " War and peace in the 20th century: The overall balance — how can we do better? " on 6 December at the Holmenkollen Park Hotel in Oslo.
Henry Dunant's passionate devotion to the humanitarian cause inspired many members of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to follow his example over the past century. The ICRC itself was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize three times: in 1917 and 1944, as a tribute to its humanitarian activities during the two world wars, and in 1963, together with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, on the occasion of the Movement's 100thanniversary.
The Nobel Prizes awarded to the ICRC and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement pay tribute to a noble mission: that of striving to preserve humanity where it is most threatened — in times of war and disaster, in the midst of poverty and despair.

On December 12, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the Stored Communications Act (SCA) does not apply to data stored in a personal cell phone and affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment to the defendants. Garcia v. City of Laredo, Texas, No. 11-41118, 2012 WL 6176479 (5th Cir. Dec. 12, 2012). In this case, after being terminated from her employment based on evidence downloaded by her employer from her cell phone, a former police dispatcher sued the City of Laredo for violating the SCA by accessing the contents of her cell phone without permission. The appeals court agreed with the district court that the cell phone data was not protected by the SCA. Consistent with decisions by the Eleventh Circuit and several district courts that the SCA does not apply to data stored on a personal computer, the court reasoned that an individual's cell phone is analogous to an individual's computer hard drive – it only enables, and does not provide an electronic communication service. Therefore, the court held, the contents of the device are outside the scope of the "facilities" covered by the SCA. The court affirmed summary judgment in favor of the City of Laredo.

Hopefully I'll be more active in the *all new PC, complete with a set of steak knives* than I was in the last one of late. Hopefully I won't be perpetuating my own kind of weirdness.
Oh well, off to play with my signature...
Hi Elyse, glad you're back lol

Castrati were male singers whose unbroken voices were preserved through castration. This practice was prevalent in church choirs in Italy - women's voices were not allowed - and the preservation of boys' singing powers into adulthood was advantageous both to the church which had invested in training them, and to their families, as castrati could hold the key to financial security.
Towards the end of the 17th century, most leading male roles in serious opera werebeing assigned to castrati; this led to the emergence of the star castrato, and the best known names - or more correctly, pseudonyms - were Caffarelli, Senesino and Farinelli. One of the last operatic castrati, Vellutti, had parts written for him by Rossini and Meyerbeer.
A recording exists, dating from 1902-3, of the Sistine Chapel castrato, Alessandro Moreschi, but the singer was already an old man and the sound could be described in literal and metaphorical terms as 'unearthly'

I just bought a Corsair Vengeance K70 which comes with four media keys: stop, skip (forward and backward), and play/pause. The problem is they don't work. I can only use them when either the Services window (through Computer Management, Task Manager, or
services.msc, Curse Voice, Logitech Gaming Software, or Gigabyte Force is open and the selected window.
My HID Service is set to Automatic (Trigger Start) and is running. Media keys also don't work when the HID service is disabled.
I've tried closing all open programs as well as unplugging all extra hardware, none of which helps. I've also tried different USB ports.
This is also after a fresh install of Windows 7. Any ideas?

The Niigata Municipal Government has frozen a plan to sell city land to China for a consulate after receiving about 1,000 calls and e-mails opposing the sale, a city official said Friday.
"It has become difficult to go through with the plan because city residents' sentiment toward China has worsened" since diplomatic relations spiraled downward following an incident in September near the Senkaku Islands, said Hiroya Ikeda of the city's international division.
"We told China we have to consider the bilateral relationship, and we can't sell the land without the residents' consent because it is city-owned property," Ikeda said.
China told the city in mid-August that it wanted to buy the 15,000-sq.-meter plot that used to host Bandai Elementary School in Chuo Ward with this year's budget, and the city had been preparing for the sale this year, Ikeda said.
But the city began receiving petitioning calls and e-mails in October as Japan-China relations soured over a series of conflicts starting with the maritime run-in in the East China Sea.
The standard procedure would be to determine the exact dimensions of the property, come up with the price estimate and get approval from the municipal assembly, but "we didn't event measure the land yet," Ikeda said.

In the last decade of the twentieth century, anthropology, like many other disciplines, was deeply affected by the revolution in genetic science. Both as a set of methodological tools and as an object of study in its own right, genetics assumed an increasingly important place in anthropological research and practice, presenting new opportunities and new challenges. At the same time, public discourse around genetics intensified, touching on long-held concerns of anthropologists; yet the anthropological voice was not often heard, even when it was sorely needed. This confluence of developments led to the idea for a conference on anthropology and the new genetics. It came to fruition as a Wenner-Gren Foundation's international symposium, "Anthropology in the Age of Genetics: Practice, Discourse, Critique, " which took place in June 1999, in Teresópolis, Brazil. This volume is a product of that conference.
I had become aware of the reverberations of the new genetics in anthropology primarily from reading the nearly one thousand grant proposals submitted to Wenner-Gren each year. This perspective afforded a significant— albeit only partial—window on the discipline. From this window I could see enormous potential for research in all areas of anthropology but also some danger signs. For each of the subfields, the developments in genetics opened up new problems for study and new approaches to old problems, but they also brought new difficulties.
The anthropological study of living nonhuman primates was profoundly affected by the advent of new genetic methods. For some time in this field, the predominant goal had been to identify the evolutionary significance of behaviors and social patterns. A key question, of course, was whether genes actually did get replicated in accordance with the predictions; but until recently, this question could be addressed only by inference. The invention

Keeping your dog's ears clean is important for their health. This is a guide about homemade ear wash for dogs.
I am a professional pet groomer, I hated spending so much money on ear cleaning solution. I researched a lot and came up with my own mix and it works great. Not only does it save me a lot of money, but I know all the ingredients it has in it.
I use an old ear cleaning solution bottle and mix 2 parts water, 1 part rubbing alcohol, and 1 part white vinegar. Try it and you'll never waste money on store bought solution again!

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade ear flush for dogs?
By Mary Ann from Columbus, OH
It used to be that vets recommended rubbing alcohol or peroxide. Not anymore. They found that the alcohol irritates the ear and the peroxide actually eats away at the flesh!
The simplest and safest thing to use is one part water to one part white vinegar and use a cotton ball saturated in this solution to wipe out the outer part of the ear. Then gently fill the ear canal with the solution and again gently massage the dog's ear from the base (where the ear attaches to his head) Do this for about 10 to 15 seconds to make sure the solution gets right down into the ear canal as they can be quite deep. Make sure you keep the dog's head tipped so the solution doesn't run out.
When finished massaging tip the head and see how much liquid will come out. Once you let go the dog will shake its' head so watch out. This, however, will loosen the internal debris.
If you think the dog has an infection, yeast or otherwise take him to the vet. This is meant just for cleaning. Also please try to have the liquid at room temperature. Would you like someone pouring icy cold water in your ear?

Robins puts economic impact at $2.87 billion
Feb 08, 2013 (The Macon Telegraph - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- WARNER ROBINS -- Robins Air Force Base's annual economic impact is about $1.6 billion less than a year ago, but an official attributed that primarily to differences in how the figure is calculated.
The statement, released late Thursday, puts the impact of the base at $2.9 billion for fiscal 2012, which ended Oct. 1. The fiscal 2011 statement estimated it at $4.5 billion.
While the base cut 681 jobs last year primarily through voluntary early retirement incentives, the statement attributes the difference to changes in how the figure is calculated.
The new figure no longer includes retiree pay, which was $692 million in 2012 for military and civilian retirees, up from $629 million the previous year. Another change is that medical benefits are no longer included in the total on employee salaries.
In a news conference at the Museum of Aviation Friday, Cost Analysis Division Chief Scott Boyd said the true economic difference from last year is actually negligible. His office recalculated last year's figure using the new methodology, and it worked out to be $2.8 billion.
"The economic impact of Robins is roughly the same as it was in past years," he said. "It's really the methodology change." The reason for the change, he said, is Air Force Materiel Command's reorganization in which command of the three depots, including Robins, was centralized at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. The methodology change makes the calculation consistent among all three depots.
The net payroll at Robins is $1.4 billion, down from $1.8 billion the previous year. The annual value of indirect jobs created was put at $1.2 billion, down from $1.8 billion the previous year.
Total active-duty military personnel assigned to the base is down by about 2,000, while the number of part-time reservists is up by 1,100. Boyd said that is because members of the 116th Air Control Wing previously were counted as active duty, when most are actually part-time guardsmen. That changed in this year's statement, and the end result is that total military personnel assigned to the base stayed about the same, 6,534 currently compared to 6,645 the previous year.
Annual base expenditures in Georgia were $245 million, down from $278 million.
Because the base does not pay property taxes, the federal government gives local school systems educating military children assigned to the base school impact funds. That was $1.45 million, with Houston County getting $1.4 million and minor amounts divided among Bibb, Crisp, Dooly and Macon counties.
The statement did not give a total number of military and civilian employees at the base, but Boyd put that figure at 24,700. That's up from 22,911 the previous year but is also due to a calculation change, he said.
Previously the statement did not include contracted employees, who work there full time and are employed by companies like Boeing. Boyd said that's because they previously had no way to calculate how many employees were working for the companies because those companies had a contract to do a job, and it was up to them to determine the number of employees.
However, the base is now getting that information from the companies and calculated 2,038 contracted employees on base. The 24,700 figure also includes part-time employees working on base for places like Burger King.
The report is based on numbers provided by the Sustainment Center Financial Management Directorate at Robins.

Deal close in pedestrian death caseJune 25,2013BENNINGTON A lawyer representing an 86-year-old North Bennington woman who is facing a felony charge after a crash in which she hit and killed a 79-year-old pedestrian on Jan. 26 in North Bennington said he expects the case will resolve in about 30 days with modest supervision for the woman.
Georgianna Carter, 86, of North Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court in April on a felony charge of grossly negligent operation of a motor vehicle resulting in a fatality.
Police said Henry Chalifoux, 79, of North Bennington, died on Jan. 26 after being hit by a car driven by Carter.
Carter was charged because police believe she should have been able to avoid hitting Chalifoux given the speed at which she was driving, the clear weather and the lack of obstructions in the road.
At a hearing in the case in the case in Bennington criminal court Monday, Frederick Bragdon, who represents Carter, said he believed he and the state were close to reaching an agreement that would resolve the case.
Bragdon said he expected Carter would be under modest supervision in the community because of the age of his client.
The case is expected to be back in court for a settlement conference in about 30 days.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

Grammy-nominated Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu sings with Dave Holmes of the Dub Trio backstage at an Alabama concert.
The new single from Grammy-nominated Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu is 'One Day'
The single, released on June 14th, is the first from his new album 'Light' - his first full-length record in three years. It was used by NBC as part of their coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010.
Critics might have initially dismissed him as a novelty act, but five years after Chasidic pop star Matisyahu emerged on the scene, he has proved he is not just grabbing attention because of his peyot and black hat.
Popular with the music press, he has picked up thousands of devoted fans across the world, making huge sales and regularly topping the Billboard charts in the United States. This success cannot be just because he does not conform with the usual swaggering rock and reggae stars that normally grace the stage and MTV screen.
Matisyahu is instantly recognisable to many, as the hasidic Jew who blends rap and reggae with traditional yiddishe sounds.
Watch Matisyahu's latest rap battle in New York with Jewish hip hop artist Kosha Dillz.
It's the fight of the freestyling frummers.

Apocalyptic Daze
.........fear also becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, with the press reporting, as though it were a surprising finding, that young people are haunted by the very concerns about global warming that the press continually instills in them. As in an echo chamber, opinion polls reflect the views promulgated by the media. We are inoculated against anxiety by the repetition of the same themes, which become a narcotic we can't do without.
