In response to A_Concerned_Citizen's comment:
You are misinterpreting what he posted and taking it way out of context.
By "Obama" he meant Michelle, who clearly is the muslim socialist in the family.
Obama is POTUS and just because he isnt the one to actually do it doesn't relieve him of all responsibility.
His admin, his cabinet, his policies regardless of who is actually recommending them, or writing them.

This book documents a short but intense artistic experiment that took place in Yugoslavia fifty years ago but has been influential far beyond that time and place: the "little-known story" of the advent of computers in art. It was through the activities of the New Tendencies movement, begun in Zagreb in 1961, and its supporting institution the Galerija suvremene umjetnosti that the "thinking machine" was adopted as an artistic tool and medium.
When the real estate bust of the 1970s hit New York City, artists found their own mixed uses for the city's run-down lofts, abandoned piers, vacant lots, and deserted streets, and photographers and filmmakers documented their work.
As the 1950s became the 1960s, a new generation of artists around the globe rejected direct painterly expression and returned decisively to the object. Moving away from abstract expressionism and toward the sensibility that would become Pop, these artists—among them Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, and Robert Rauschenberg—effectively established a new set of artistic paradigms that would influence the decade ahead.
This eye-popping book offers a visual history of the psychedelic sensibility. In pop culture, that sensibility is associated with lava lamps, album covers, and "teashades," but it first manifested itself in the extreme colors and kaleidoscopic compositions of 1960s Op Artists.
Liam Gillick emerged as part of the generation of "Young British Artists" who energized the British art scene in the 1980s and 1990s. He is now one of the most influential (and perplexing) artists in all of contemporary art. Gillick's discursive mode of art practice--often associated with "relational aesthetics"--complicates object production, embraces the exhibition as medium, and explores the social role and function of art.
Paul Thek occupied a place between high art and low art, between the epic and the everyday. During his brief life (1933-1988), he went against the grain of art world trends, humanizing the institutional spaces of art with the force of his humor, spirituality, and character. Twenty years after Thek's death from AIDS, we can now recognize his influence on contemporary artists ranging from Vito Acconci and Bruce Nauman to Matthew Barney, Mike Kelley, and Paul McCarthy, as well as Kai Althoff, Jonathan Meese, and Thomas Hirschhorn.
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was a master of self-invention who carefully regulated the image he projected through self-portraiture and through his collaboration with those who portrayed him. During his long career, Duchamp recast accepted modes for assembling and describing identity, indelibly altering the terrain of portraiture.
Dan Graham is one of the most significant figures to emerge from the 1960s moment of Conceptual art, with a practice that pioneered a range of art forms, modes, and ideas that are now fundamental to contemporary art. The thrust of his practice has always pointed beyond: beyond the art object, beyond the studio, beyond the medium, beyond the gallery, beyond the self. Beyond all these categories and into the realm of the social, the public, the democratic, the mass produced, the architectural, the anarchic, the humorous.
There is no easy way to define Franz West's art: it is fundamentally sculptural in its construction, veers frequently toward the biomorphic and prosthetic, mines the intellectualism of Freud and Wittgenstein, and possesses an awkward beauty that speaks with equal fluency to the tradition of painterly abstraction and the aesthetics of trash art. West's distinctive vision has resulted in one of the most remarkable bodies of work produced since the 1960s. This book, with more than 160 color images, offers a comprehensive look at West's work from the 1970s to the present.
The artist's relationship to landscape was once invoked by a canvas on an easel in a picturesque vista. No more. In the 1960s, the Earth Artists started focusing on natural systems and entropy; in the 1970s, photographers in the New Topographics movement turned their attention unsentimentally to the industrialized "man-altered" environment; in the 1980s, artists animated the natural landscape with art, movement, and performance; and in the 1990s, Eco-Artists collaborated with scientists to address sustainability, pollution, and politics.

Editorial: Green Movement not fading in Iran
A preliminary assessment of the gatherings in Iran Thursday around the 31st anniversary of the coming of the Islamic republic in 1979 suggests that the regime was largely successful in containing the protests of what has come to be called the Green Movement. That's unfortunate, but the Greens made enough of a splash to suggest that the status quo in Iran will not last forever.
Beginning with spontaneous protests following the rigged presidential elections in June, the dissenting movement has revealed a deep level of discontent with the theocratic government in Tehran. Highly decentralized, without a charismatic leader and organized to a great extent through e-mail, texting, Twitter and the like, the movement has since turned out tens of thousands of protesters at rallies several times, most recently in December during the celebration of the observance of Ashoura.
The mullahs' regime this time had the advantage of knowing far in advance that protest was likely and, therefore, had time to neutralize it. More than 1,000 people were arrested in the weeks prior to the event. Police and other security forces were strategically deployed to minimize the visibility of protesters, many of whom were brutalized. Key leaders were arrested or detained early in the day. Internet services were interrupted, and news coverage was restricted. Pro-regime rallies featured people bused in and free food.
Although the rise of the Green Movement has not led to, and may not result in, the imminent demise of the ruling theocracy in Iran that many had wished for, it has exposed deep rifts in Iranian society that the regime cannot ignore. Whether this will lead to reform within the context of the current regime – perhaps reducing or eliminating the veto power of the ayatollahs over government policy – or something more far-reaching, change seems inevitable.
Although expressions of concern about respect for human rights in Iran is appropriate and important, overt or covert U.S. government support for Iranian dissidents would be more likely to undermine the movement than help it. Patience is a virtue here.

MCC men's basketball all-conference honors announced

Mike Kennedy (SAU): MCC MBB Player of the Year
The Midwest Collegiate Conference has announced its men's basketball all-conference honors for the 2011-12 season. Twenty-two athletes were recognized as part of the all-conference teams as voted by the coaches, including ten to the First Team and twelve to the Honorable Mention Team.
St. Ambrose senior forward Mike Kennedy (Evergreen Park, Ill.) was named MCC Player of the Year for the second year in a row. Kennedy averaged 18.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game and shot 51.3% from the field. He led the conference in scoring and rebounding and also ranked sixth in steals. He also was in the top 15 in the MCC in field goal percentage (13th), free throw percentage (70.0%, 14th) and assists (2.2 per game, 15th).
"Mike is truly an outstanding player," said St. Ambrose Head Coach Ray Shovlain. "The reason he is so great is his versatility and how he plays on both ends of the floor. He's an excellent team player and can do it all - shoot, pass, rebound and play defense."
St. Ambrose freshman Nicholas Frazier (Bellwood, Ill.) was named MCC Newcomer of the Year. Frazier came into the league as a freshman and quickly was one of the top scorers and shooters in the conference, averaging 16.7 points per game and shooting 54.7% from the field, including 47.7% from three-point range. He led the MCC in three-point shooting percentage and was fourth in scoring, sixth in three-pointers made per game (1.9) and eighth in field goal percentage.
"Nick is one-of-a-kind as far as being a freshman student-athlete making such an impact right away," said Shovlain. "He is a great player and a great young man."
Shovlain made it a St. Ambrose sweep of the conference's individual awards, as he was named MCC Coach of the Year after leading SAU to both the conference regular season and tournament championships. The Bees won the regular season title by four games and steamrolled through the MCC Tournament, wrapping up a trip to the NAIA Division II National Championships in Point Lookout, Mo. St. Ambrose has won 15 straight games heading into the national tourney and has risen to 15th in the national rankings. It is the fifth time in his career at SAU that Shovlain has won the Coach of the Year honor, and the first time since 2004-05.

With the Conservative Party attaining a surprising majority victory in Monday's Canadian election results, investors now have something to chew on: Do they focus on the fact that the governing party now has far more control to further its pro-business agenda? Or do they take a good, hard look at the new official opposition, composed of newly elected New Democrats that will be opposing the Conservative agenda tooth and nail?
In early moves on Tuesday, the market reaction was tame -- and likely the result of declining commodity prices and a retreat from risk worldwide, as equity markets declined. The Canadian dollar fell 0.2 per cent next to the U.S. dollar, falling to $1.05 (U.S.). The yield on the 30-year Government of Canada bond was relatively unchanged, at 3.68 per cent.
So, no Armageddon but no wild celebrations either. In other words, welcome back to the quiet world of Canadian politics and economics, which rarely have a dramatic impact on the way investors conduct their affairs.
Indeed, the reaction so far appears mostly related to commodity prices, which often have a direct effect on the Canadian dollar. The price of crude oil fell 1 per cent, to $112.42, continuing a round of volatility that began on Monday after markets reacted to the death of Osama bin Laden. The latest downward move seems related to India's surprise decision to raise its key interest rate by 0.5 per cent to help tackle rising inflation in the developing market. While India is just one player -- albeit an important one -- in the global economy, it nonetheless signifies a trend where central banks are getting tough on inflation, likely at the risk of economic growth.
Is a developing economy like India overshadowing the election results of a developed economy like Canada? You bet, and it signifies the growing heft of the developing world.Report Typo/Error

We called in a same-day reservation while traveling through Ohio. We thought we would be placed in a back-in site (2nd choice) but when we arrived, they could move us to a pull-through so we didn't have to unhook our tow car. That was much appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful with parking at site, getting back on highway and locating gas if needed. They have been a KOA for 4 years now and are making improvements to sites. Grounds are roomy. Office area is a little tight for pulling through and check-in. - gbburgess
Aug 2015 - $54.00
This park is nestled in a very quiet area of Ohio. Less than hour away from Holmes County, Ohio - great Amish community. There are many local Amish farm stands with GREAT fresh veggies and fruits! The owners are nice. This is family-owned and operated. Very friendly staff. The pool is VERY clean. The park itself is also very clean. We were slightly disappointed with the lack of shade on our site. It seems maybe they had some ash trees that were destroyed. :( We did feel like the campground was a little lacking for activities. I don't feel like paying extra for each child is fair. There was nothing really extra for them beyond the playground (geared towards 6 years and younger, in my opinion) and the pool. There is a game room, which is clean and works well. But, my wallet won't allow my children to play games all day. The wood purchased from the store was dry and burned easily. The sites were fairly level - they even offer a leveling board if required for the slightly unlevel sites. Overall, this is a quiet, pretty campground. Very well-kept. I would recommend. - NetteK
Jun 2014 - $40.00
This is your average KOA. Nightly rate includes value card discount. About 2/3 of the sites are occupied by permanent or semi-permanent residents but they are in the back section of the park. We reserved a pull-through site in advance but were told it was not available when we arrived. It appears that the campground doesn't actually have pull-through sites as advertised. You pull through into your site from the site behind you. If that site is occupied then your pull-through site becomes a back-in site. Management was accommodating and very apologetic and got me into my site without disconnecting my toad. Trash dumpsters were inconveniently located outside the park gate on the entrance road. Wi-Fi and Verizon cell worked OK. Park is located about five miles off of the interstate and you need to follow the directions on the website, depending which direction you are traveling. We probably wouldn't stay here again. - Tennessee Guy

The physiological roles of placental corticotropin releasing hormone in pregnancy and childbirth

In response to stress, the hypothalamus releases cortiticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) that travels to the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH travels to the adrenal cortex, where it stimulates the release of cortisol and other steroids that liberate energy stores to cope with the stress. During pregnancy, the placenta synthesises CRH and releases it into the bloodstream at increasing levels to reach concentrations 1,000 to 10, 000 times of that found in the non-pregnant individual. Urocortins, which are CRH analogues are also secreted by the placenta. Desensitisation of the maternal pituitary to CRH and resetting after birth may be a factor in post-partum depression. Recently, CRH has been found to modulate glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins in placental tissue, and therefore there may be a link between CRH levels and foetal growth. Evidence suggests CRH is involved in the timing of birth by modulating signalling systems that control the contractile properties of the myometrium. In the placenta, cortisol stimulates CRH synthesis via activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), a component in a cellular messenger system that may also be triggered by stressors such as hypoxia and infection, indicating that intrauterine stress could bring forward childbirth and cause low birth weight infants. Such infants could suffer health issues into their adult life as a result of foetal programming. Future treatment of these problems with CRH antagonists is an exciting possibility.

Power Use, Temperatures, Noise and Overclocking
Starting with our power tests it is worth noting that current generation products manage this aspect in a different way to older cards so we have changed the way we test power and temperature levels in our reviews. For idle power we list the full system use at the wall after sitting at the desktop with no activity for 5 minutes. Load power is the highest reading we saw for the full system when testing during this review. Temperatures are taken in the same way. Noise levels are taken after a period of prolonged gaming in a scenario which applied maximum load to the GPU. Finally, our CPU is running at full MHz when testing, speedstep etc disabled.
When looking at both power use and temperatures the results from the two cards are reasonably competitive. The Sapphire model does well in idle power/temp and load temp with the edge going to our comparison GTX 660 Ti on load power by around 10w. Sapphires cooler is doing a very impressive job here though and remains very quiet, even when the card is overclocked to its limit.
Our preference for a Sapphire card would always be their own TRIXX software, shown above.
As a reminder more than anything else, the Sapphire card has been running at its maximum overclock throughout this review (as has the GTX 660 Ti). Therefore for performance figures check each individual page… the max overclock is shown above for reference.

France fires on Libyan military vehicle
PARIS (AP) World leaders agreed Saturday at an emergency summit to a military intervention in Libya, with French fighter jets soaring over Benghazi to protect civilians from Moammar Gadhafi's forces and warplanes from other countries amassing around the Mediterranean.
France led the way with the first surveillance missions and the first strike, firing on a Libyan military vehicle, even before the joint military command was in place, according to French Defense Ministry spokesman Thierry Burkhard.
IN LIBYA: Gadhafi strikes rebels
Warplanes from the United States, Canada, and Denmark arrived at Italian air bases Saturday. Germany backed the operation but isn't offering its own forces.
It was the first reported offensive military action against Gadhafi's troops since the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution on Thursday, authorizing operations to protect civilians in Libya.
The strike came less than two hours after top officials from the United States, Europe and the Arab world agreed in Paris to launch a military operation to protect civilians from attacks by Gadhafi's forces.
It also came after Libyan government troops forces attacked Benghazi earlier Saturday, apparently ignoring a proclaimed cease-fire. Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in Paris, said Gadhafi's claim of a cease-fire "was an obvious lie from the beginning."
The French airstrike hit at 1645 GMT Saturday and the target was confirmed as a military vehicle, but it was not clear what kind, Burkhard said. He said no hostile fire on the French jet has been reported.
France sent a dozen Mirage and Rafale jets Saturday to survey the one-time opposition stronghold of Benghazi and the 150 kilometer-by-100 kilometer no-fly zone, Burkhard said.
"All aircraft that enter into this zone could be shot down," he said.
Top U.S., Arab and European leaders — 22 participants in all representing dozens of countries — agreed at an emergency summit in Paris on Saturday "agreed to put in place all the means necessary, in particular military" to make Gadhafi respect a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday demanding a cease-fire, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon hailed Saturday's meeting as a success. "Arab countries, Europeans, Americans — they were all in one voice."
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel said she backed the operation but added, "We will not participate with our own soldiers."
Harper was among those acknowledging the risks involved in such an operation.
"We should not kid ourselves," he told reporters in Paris. "One cannot promise perfection, or that there will not be casualties on our side."
But he added, "We're dealing with a regime that will not be satisfed with the reimposition of its authority. ... They will massacre every single individual they remotely suspect of disloyalty."
The incursion into Benghazi and other cities by Gadhafi's forces could vastly complicate any international intervention, by allowing the troops to mingle in with the population — making airstrikes against them difficult.
Several countries clarified their possible participation in any armed intervention, laying out how long it would take for national forces to join in air strikes or surveillance overflights.
Six Danish F-16 fighter jets landed Saturday at the U.S. air base in Sicily, and American F-18s and Canadian CF-18 Hornets were in the region.
France, Britain and the United States were among the major backers of a muscular U.N. Security Council resolution passed Thursday that authorizes a no-fly zone over Libya and "all necessary measures" to protect civilians.
Among those at the Paris summit were Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa and Qatar's emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani and foreign ministers of Jordan, Moroccan and the United Arab Emirates.
NATO's top decision-making body met Saturday to review military plans for a no-fly zone over Libya.
Officials said military staffs were putting the final touches on rules of engagement and on plans to deploy fighter-bombers, tankers, helicopters and surveillance planes to several air bases along Europe's southern rim. A NATO diplomat said it was likely that any such operation would be controlled from NATO's command center in Naples.
NATO surveillance AWACS planes flying off the Libyan coast are already providing 24-hour coverage of the situation in the air and on the battlefields. Analysts said no-fly zone aircraft would be flying from NATO bases such as in Sigonella, Sicily, Aviano in northern Italy, Istres in southern France, and Ventiseri-Solenzara in Corsica.

One thing you learn when you draw birds: you've never reallyseen them previously. How different each one is. I thought I knew the birds on the deck — I can even distinguish a few from each other. But I recognise them by their behaviours, not how they look.
Now? I am seeing their differences… Their fat round winter-puffed bellies, the tilt of a head, the way a woodpecker darts at the birds to either side of her perch. It reminds me, all over again, that nothing is simple. And everything is connected…
There's one woodpecker I know by both behaviour and looks: it's the young male from this spring. He's not very bright — hence the 'behaviour' recognition. One of his favourite pursuits is pecking at the post the seed cylinder hangs from. (I told you he wasn't too bright…) But he's also less brightly coloured, even though a male. He has the tell-tale red blotch on the back of his head, but his black&white always looks a bit dull, as if he washed his clothes w/ something that faded grey onto them.
And there are fat sparrows (some may have done steroids!), lean sparrows, long-bellied sparrows and I haven't even gotten to the blue jays, cardinals, finches, titmice…
There's an entire family of cardinals, two seasons worth. Males & females & young males. I can even tell one of the young males from the others. The finches I'm still learning — they're less individual and more a flock. 🙂
Each different. Each similar. And yes, I know I see metaphors everywhere. But it really does seem kind of like a Buddhist thing. You know what I mean?

Local television legend Glenn Harris has taken hundreds of phone calls from a virtual who's who of the sports world.
Harris suffered a major medical crisis and has been off the air on Newschannel8, WJLA's sister station, for weeks now. On Thursday night, he's returning to TV.
Ten weeks ago, the fan favorite was on his way to accept yet another award when he suffered a stroke.
"The guy said 'Mr. Harris you had a stroke,'" Harris remembers. "I said what! He said 'not one stroke, you had two strokes.'"
Harris' sportscasting career began in 1967 and he has been on the air for 44 years. When he goes to the grocery store, it takes him 15 minutes to get to the door because everybody stops him.
He has been recovering at home for weeks, preparing for his comeback.
"I was sitting down out there and these colors were shooting out of my eyes," he says of the day that could've been his last. "I mean brilliant, beautiful colors. I am saying 'what in the world is this?' and then I had an unbelievable headache."
The 64-year-old says he never drinks, smokes, or touches drugs. Doctors say they're amazed he could still talk suffering two strokes. They told him his kidneys were working at only a third of their usual rate.
A few days later, Harris went blind. "I can sit close to you like I am now, couldn't see your face," Harris said. "It is the most humbling experience you could ever have in your life."
Harris was in the dark for three of the longest weeks of his life. While his vision improved each day, he couldn't fully see.
With the help of new glasses, he's now 20/20. "My mother's been dead since 1983. My mother would have been so glad to hear me. 'I can see, ma.'" he said.
Harris had diabetes and high blood pressure before the strokes, but said he didn't take medicine prescribed to him "because I was feeling so good."
Harris has always worked out like the pros he interviews. Doctors told him it's what saved his life.
"I've done a lot of things but I ain't finished yet. I am not really to roll outta here," he said.

Snorting Meth – Side Effects and Dangers
Meth is a Schedule II stimulant that has a high potential for abuse.
Although meth can sometimes be prescribed for pain relief in small doses, most of the meth in the United States comes from super labs and small neighborhood labs, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Meth can be used a variety of ways, but snorting is common among those who are afraid of needles. Snorting also reduces the risk of becoming infected with an infectious disease such as HIV/AIDS or hepatitis; however, frequent snorting can cause damage to the nose and sinus cavities. It can make your nose stuffy and cause nosebleeds. Some users have reported damage to the lining and cartilage of the nose. In extreme cases, it can cause a hole in your nose.
According to the anti-meth site Moms and Dads Against Meth, snorting the drug is often not as effective as injecting or smoking the drug. The rush is not as intense. Because of this, some users snort more and more of the drug, making them at risk for a fatal overdose.
Effects of Meth Use
Meth increases heart rate, blood pressure and temperature. Changes in breathing occur. The pupils dilate and appetite decreases. Users may have a boost of energy that lasts for days or even weeks. They may also become dehydrated, dizzy and shaky. Some may also experience headaches and severe stomach pains.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, long-term use of meth can cause many serious physical and mental effects. These include weight loss, dental problems, insomnia, heart attack, stroke, liver and kidney damage. Psychological problems include paranoia, delusions, anxiety, confusion, concentration and memory problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, mood changes and psychosis.
According to Moms and Dads Against Meth, meth use also leads to a lack of motivation, which can cause problems with schoolwork and employment. Meth addicts may drop out of school due to excessive absences or poor performance. Employees may lose their job because of their meth use.
Meth use can eventually lead to dependence and addiction needing special attention and care in a private treatment facility. Some people become addicts after just one use, while others try it once and decide not to use it again. Low-intensity users ingest the drug to experience increased wakefulness to finish a job. They may otherwise function normally; however, this could eventually lead to binge use or addiction.
What Is Meth?
Meth is made from common household chemicals, which is why it causes so many negative health effects. According to Moms and Dads Against Meth, here are some common ingredients of meth:
- Brake cleaner
- Drain cleaner
- Gun cleaner
- Pseudoephedrine/ephedrine (common ingredient in cold medicines)
- Rubbing alcohol
- Gasoline additive
- Engine starter
- Match striker
- Lithium batteries
- Lye
- Acetone
- Cat litter
- Fertilizer

Unfortunately there weren't
many good physical Electric type moves to teach it :(
It really was a shock (pun not intended) to see that it was more physically inclined, but yes, it did make for a very interesting experience. I guess it also made for a good way to showcase Gen IV's physical and special split. Though its Special Attack stat is respectable, only having Thunder Fang as the best Physical STAB did hurt it quite a bit in its introduction. I was very happy to see it gain access to Wild Charge in Gen V, and having Superpower as a tutor move after Platinum was great for coverage.
If you don't mind me asking, would your opinion on the Shinx family change if Luxray were given a Dark secondary type? This is something I frequently see people discussing, and I was curious as to what another Shinx/Luxio/Luxray fan would think :)
I think that appearance-wise, Luxray fits the type in how menacing it looks (particularly its eyes) and Crunch STAB would be an intriguing addition to its arsenal, but I don't know if it'd be worth adding another common weakness (Fighting), particularly when it's fairly slow for an offensive Pokemon. The added resistances may be intriguing for in-game use, though.

Galvantula was one of the Pokemon I was looking forward to using in B&W, and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's essentially another 'typical Electric,' capable of hitting relatively hard and fast on the Special side. It's very frail, but its Speed more than made up for it, and the combination of Thunder and Compoundeyes to increase its accuracy from 70% to a more managable 91% is pretty awesome. Also, STAB Bug + Electric moves actually have pretty decent coverage, haha.
The one that surprised me the most, however, was Electrode. I'm using one in a challenge in Sapphire, and I wasn't really expecting much from it just from looking at its Bulbapedia page - it's blisteringly fast, yes, but the rest of its stats were mediocre at best, and it didn't really have access to any decent offensive, non-Electric moves. However, ever since I've picked one up, it's been doing relatively well on my team. Because of its speed, it works well as a support member, with mine having Light Screen and Screech, allowing it to set up on or cripple anything it can't hit with Thunderbolt.
To sum it up, my favourite was certainly Galvantula, but really, they were all pretty interesting to use. If anything, the only one I've found 'disappointing' in any way was Electrike/Manectric, but that's only because I used one in Gen III, where the only way to get Crunch for coverage was to breed it in (which I was too lazy to do at the time, haha). It did well in my team, but it didn't have any support options outside of Thunder Wave, which isn't as effective as what Electrode has going since whatever Manectric can't hit with Thunderbolt, it can't hit with Thunder Wave :P

Records: NCTD structure kept changing
Agency says reorganizations did not foster miscommunication on Sprinter brakes
Capital officials said they created one new division to administer contract services before privatization was finalized, and have not had any major reorganizations since. Employee retention, officials said, has hovered around 80 percent.
"While we did have some turnover, we made a specific emphasis on trying to retain all of our employees," said Erica Macioge, spokeswoman for Capital Metro.
Public and private entities will periodically reorganize their structure as their objectives change, said Catherine Burke, an associate professor of public administration at the University of Southern California. Her expertise includes management, organization systems and public transportation.
Burke said the multiple reorganizations at North County Transit are unique.
"I've never heard of that," she said. "How you structure your organization is not rocket science; it's ultimately about achieving your goal. What it suggests is an organization is lacking an objective or (management) doesn't know what they are doing."
Glen Sparrow, a retired San Diego State University public administration professor, echoed Burke's comments.
"It seems to me that you should be able to get it (the organizational structure) right faster than that," Sparrow said.
On a going forward basis, the agency said a consultant has been hired to update its fleet management plans.

In the wake of Osama bin Laden's death, people might be wondering who the next big threat will be. Who's recording menacing videos in caves with poor production value now?
Cracked's Cody Johnston has provided one such video, but it's not as menacing as you'd expect. In fact, it's pretty much the worst terrorist video ever.
Something tells us there's not much to fear if these guys are the new Osama.

Miriam Singer, an 87-year-old Baltimore resident, has received three speeding tickets from cameras in the District of Columbia over the past four months.
Miriam Singer has never driven in the District of Columbia.
"It's not my car," explained Singer. "It's obvious that it isn't from the photograph."
Each ticket that Singer received was for a car driving well over the speed limit and caught by a D.C. speed camera.
Singer's son-in-law, Jerry Carr, has written letter after letter to the District appealing the tickets, but reached out to 7 On Your Side when the third one came. It was for an Acura SUV with the plate "MS MAD".
Singer's plate is her initials; simply "MS".
Each of the cars shown on the tickets has Maryland tags starting with "MS" . There's "MS ALF", "MS G" and "MS MAD."
Speed camera tickets are supposed to be reviewed before they are issued. After a review, MPD voided the tickets.
"This appears to have been human error," D.C. Police officials said in a statement. "Some Maryland tags are managed in a different manner than regular tags, so these require special handling during the name and address acquisition process.
"We have brought this matter to the staff's attention and we will monitor this closely in the future."

We present a polynomial time approximation scheme for Euclidean TSP in ℜ2. Given any n nodes in the plane and ε>0, the scheme finds a (1+ε)-approximation to the optimum traveling salesman tour in time n0(1/ε). When the nodes are in ℜd, the running time increases to n(O˜(logd-2n)/εd-1) The previous best approximation algorithm for the problem (due to Christofides (1976)) achieves a 3/2-approximation in polynomial time. We also give similar approximation schemes for a host of other Euclidean problems, including Steiner Tree, k-TSP, Minimum degree-k, spanning tree, k-MST, etc. (This list may get longer; our techniques are fairly general.) The previous best approximation algorithms for all these problems achieved a constant-factor approximation. All our algorithms also work, with almost no modification, when distance is measured using any geometric norm (such as lp for p⩾1 or other Minkowski norms)

Greetings from 'App Norf' From a Geordie. - Nice one 'Arry'!
Alreet lads n lasses hows it going?
Just popped by to say you've got a good'un there with Harry.
All credit to hmi for his loyalty to your club. Let's face it the reason he HAD to think about would've been mega buck wafted in his face. But would we want a manager on a mercenary mission. Course not. He loves it down there and he's got plans for Pompey he wants to see out. No money was gonna change that. If only more managers had that conviction (ironic though since he's also a bit of an Arfur Daley at heart too).
So just wanted to pay me respects.
Reet I'm off. Good luck for rest of the season.
I'm off to watch 11 prima donnas in black and white be cheered on by fellow misguided but eternally loyal fans, who they dont deserve.

Cheers mate, it's refreshing to see a bit of loyalty in the the game isn't it? Been a long time since you could praise soemone in football for not selling out and chasing the buck.
Good luck with finding the manager you guys deserve.

Scott Hall wants to spark a discussion, so he asks his students something bound to provoke a reaction: Do women want more out of marriage...
MUNCIE, Ind. — Scott Hall wants to spark a discussion, so he asks his students something bound to provoke a reaction: Do women want more out of marriage than men?
It's just the sort of conversation starter that's heard more often in college classrooms these days. Affairs of the heart — love, relationships and marriage — have gone from being an obsession outside class to the reason for class.
The students in Hall's course on marriage at Ball State University — many of them women — laugh and nod at his question. Most of them agree with research he cites stating that men are most interested in a partner who's attractive and good in bed.

But not Mike Toscano, a 21-year-old senior: "It's not 'Oh she looks cute and she cooked a pot pie,' " he says. "I want to be held once in a while, too, y'all."
The comment draws more laughter, as Toscano blushes and smiles.
"I'm glad he feels that way," Anitra Montgomery, a 22-year-old junior, responds to the class. "But he is rare!"
Over the past 30 years, academics have been developing the study of "close relationships," as they call it, forming the International Association for Relationship Research to share data and resources.
Such research is "not just about what makes people happy but how relationships can affect other things — for instance, someone's health," says Lisa Baker, an assistant professor of psychology at Purchase College, part of the State University of New York.
In recent years, though, some professors have moved beyond theory, making the discussion more personal to students by teaching relationship skills they can use outside the classroom. It's a concept that has proved wildly popular on campuses across the country.
With divorce as common as it is in this country, experts say young couples are wise to do their marriage homework.
"The thinking is, the earlier people learn those skills, the better off they'll be," says Dennis Lowe, psychology professor at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. He and his wife, Emily Scott-Lowe, teach a freshman seminar called "Developing Healthy Relationships."
Among other things, students in the Lowes' class practice giving another person a chance to speak his or her mind without interruption.
Leslie Parrott, of Seattle Pacific University, says surveys regularly show that relationships are a priority for students.
"They're often more focused on relationship quality than their careers," says Parrott, a marriage and family therapist who teaches relationships courses with her husband, Les.
Lecture topics include "Falling in Love Without Losing Your Mind" and "How to Break Up Without Falling Apart." The latter class includes discussion on how to end a relationship cleanly and taking time after a breakup to avoid a rebound relationship: Parrott says that session regularly draws students who aren't even enrolled in the class.
"Breaking up is a real rite of passage for people their age. They're just dying and they have no real guidance," says Parrott, who has co-authored a textbook on relationships with her husband.
Parrott says that some academics question whether classes such as these belong in a college setting. But others — from economists to theologians — say there's no reason love should be ignored.
"The longer I live, the more I realize that the hardest thing is just relationships," says Robert Brancatelli, an assistant professor of religious studies at Santa Clara University. "It's hard enough to figure out yourself, let alone another person."

Funeral services for a deputy killed in the east will take place Saturday afternoon around 2 o'clock in Williamston.
Friday at the Agricultural Center the Caisson Unit took the horses out so they can get a better lay of the center.
Organizers say this is the first time many of these horses will be doing funeral services inside.
All this is in honor of Deputy Charlie Brown who was killed on Tuesday in the line of duty.
Law enforcement officials who are part of the unit say doing funerals like this make them think of their own mortality.
Two of the horses that will be used on Saturday were used to pull President Ronald Reagan during his service.

During these turbulent times we are hearing daily of mistreatment of our children and the elderly.
People, wake up! We are all responsible for our most vulnerable, not just social workers, school nurses, teachers, police and other law enforcement.
We, as family and friends, neighbors, co-workers or even fellow shoppers have a responsibility to report and follow up on unusual and questionable situations concerning our children and aging citizens.
To the editor:
As I watched the 5A championship game online and watched the Bearcats fight for every yard, the amazing thing was that through out the entire game the announcers commended Anderson County for their attitude.
At half time, they reminded the watchers and listeners that Anderson would not give up; that Coach Mark Peach would come out with a game plan; that the players
reflected their coach's attitude in a positive way.
To be a journalist is like being on fire.
Extinguish one flame — deadlines, disgruntled readers or writer's block — and more start to smolder in its place.
I've toured a prison and endured its pat-down policy, been essentially banned from a senior center, and had my student newspaper pulled from the racks for publishing a story about an Ecstasy drug bust on campus.
So it's nice to remind myself sometimes why I voluntarily chose this profession.
All it took was another newspaper.
Column as I see 'em …
Now that he has been comfortably re-elected, perhaps Gov. Beshear will take a moment and throw a rope around those in his health cabinet who can't seem to keep their meddling noses out of Anderson County's business.
Our 12-person health board, which consists of the county's CEO and members with more degrees than a thermometer is perfectly capable (these days, at least) of making decisions without interference from state health officials.
To the editor:
The PTO of Robert B. Turner would like to thank everyone who made this year's Titan Fest such a wonderful success.
We couldn't have done it without the teachers, parents and other volunteers who gave so generously of their time and resources.
We would especially like to recognize those individuals and businesses who donated items for the auction and basket raffle.
We also want to acknowledge the high school students who gave up their Friday night to bring their energy and enthusiasm to the games.
I'm an expert in attending meetings.
And you should be, too.
Contrary to common knowledge, things happen at those public meetings.
I know that's a pretty big shock. You might want to sit down for a moment.
Money exchanges hands, new policies and ordinances up for review and passage.
I should know. I write about them.

If you were going to be profiled for a local newspaper or magazine, and they told you they'd chosen you as one of your city's Style Icons...what would you wear?
The rules:
Since you were chosen based on your current taste and wardrobe, it has to be something you currently own (or the most similar picture you can find). Include all accessories - shoes, bag, jewelry - and if you can, an image of how you'd wear your hair.

Johnthan Banks put family before NFL riches
Mindful of his family, Johnthan Banks told his then-girlfriend over a year ago that he was skipping his senior season at Mississippi State and entering the NFL Draft.
"He said, 'I'm gonna make a better living for you and my son,'" Mallory Banks said Tuesday, when her now-husband accepted the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award as college football's best defensive back.
Only days later, though, Johnthan Banks changed his mind. Several factors played into that decision. More than anything, though, he decided NFL riches would feel empty without Mallory and their son K.J., then only eight months old, nearby.
"My son is a daddy's boy," Johnthan Banks said. "It's hard for me not being around him. The way I feel about him, and the way he feels about me is unreal.
"I never thought I could care about someone as much as I care about him."
Johnthan Banks was honored as latest Jim Thorpe winner at a Tuesday banquet at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He became the award's fourth consecutive winner from the Southeastern Conference.
Banks was a first-team All-SEC selection as a senior. He finished last season with 63 tackles, four interceptions and seven breakups.
He nearly gave up his senior season, though, because of the responsibility he felt to provide for his young family. He was reportedly projected as a fourth-round pick after his junior season.
After Johnthan Banks told Mallory of his initial decision, she noticed he'd become increasingly somber and distant.
"He started having this funny look on his face and started acting weird," Mallory Banks said. "He wouldn't really talk to me. He wouldn't open up to me."
Finally, though, Johnthan Banks broke down one night and tearfully confessed he'd changed his mind.
Several of his goals remained unaccomplished. Banks wanted to earn his degree, which he'll now complete this spring.
A Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist as a junior, Banks wanted to win the 2012 award.
He wanted to improve his NFL Draft stock, which has risen so high that he's now widely considered first-round material.
"We talk to guys about that stuff," said Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen. "We have a little rule that says, 'If you're gonna be first rounder, you should go.'
"If not, the thought is, 'Hey, come back. Get the security of getting your degree, and increase your chances in the draft.'"
Now, with all those accomplishments completed or nearly completed, the former Mississippi State standout has drastically improved his family's long-term outlook.
"At first, I was kind of upset that he didn't go, because I felt like he was an excellent player," Mallory Banks admitted. "But now, I'm very, very happy that he stayed. He grew, he learned more, and got better as a football player and a person."

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Autumn stuff today. The jacket is a tad bit short, not vulgarly so though.
EFV - You rock fall colors like nobody's business. I'm a big fan of the pants, are they cords or moleskin? Where'd you get them?
Now for my own contribution from the past two days:
I normally don't like to leave the house without a pocket square, but this has been my first week interning at a law firm and so far I'm the only one who wears a jacket... so I may need to ease into that territory slowly.

Don't get me wrong, I like how I feel after riding these long rides, I'm just wondering why it's not really getting easier. Does it just take more time or am I a wuss?

Career Women of America, 1776-1840
Career Women of America, 1776-1840
I never was of the opinion that the pursuits of the sexes ought to be the same. . . . Yet to cultivate the qualities with which we are endowed can never be called infringing the prerogatives of man. Why, my dear Cousin, were we furnished with such powers unless the improvement of them could conduce to the happiness of society? Do you suppose the mind of woman the only work of God that was "made in vain?" . . . Women would be under the same degree of subordination that they are now; enlighten and expand their minds, and they will perceive the necessity of such a regulation to preserve the order and happiness of society.
Eliza Southgate, the eighteen-year old author of these reflections written in 1801, put in a nutshell an attitude which became increasingly common in the early nineteenth century. Forty years later so independent a person as Catherine Beecher wrote in ardent lip-service to this ideal:
But if females as they approach the other sex in intellectual elevation, began to claim. . . the peculiar prerogatives of that sex, education would prove a doubtful and dangerous blessing. But this will never be the result. For the more intelligent a woman becomes, the more she can appreciate the wisdom of the ordinance that appointed her subordinate station, and the more her tastes will conform to the graceful and dignified retirement and submission it involves.
These sentiments would have sounded almost as odd in colonial days as they do now, although not for the same reasons. Women's sphere was not a subject of controversy or reflection in pioneer America. Men ruled in church and state, and they furnished the great majority of workers in practi-

Interest-Based Advertising: In Your Best Interest?
Posted on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 by Ami Grant Print This Post
Categories - Featured, SEM
Google launched interest-based advertising in beta in 2009, making it available to all AdWords advertisers in June 2011. How it works is Google analyzes each time a user visits an AdSense partner website, along with data from third-party companies, and serves up contextually relevant ads related to that user's category interest, even when they are on websites completely unrelated to that category. In addition, Google uses this data to infer the user's gender and age category, but this data has limitations, as Google will likely assume you are a female if visiting a site whose demo is primarily female.
Sound a little like Big Brother? The good news is Google offers full customization and a permanent opt-out feature of interest ads. They also offer transparency into their ads, labeling most ads provided by Google on the AdSense partner network as well as YouTube. You can click on the labels to get more info about how Google is serving the ads and the info used to show you ads. In addition, Google makes the point that all personal information is protected and not collected or shared with any third parties.
The interest-based marketing tool, available under the 'Audiences' tab in AdWords, allows advertisers to target users according to their browsing behavior vs. targeting ads to specific topic pages. This tool has the potential to improve campaign performance and ROI for advertisers on the Display Network by targeting an interested audience, which is often a challenge on the Display Network. For instance, serving up a mortgage ad to a user who is on a health & beauty site, but has previously visited real estate sites adds another opportunity to capture an interested audience aside from Topic, Keyword, and Managed Placement targeted ads, which can limit your ads to displaying only to users visiting sites related to that category.
Some benefits of interest campaigns include: increasing brand awareness and traffic, extending the reach of existing Display campaigns, and having the ability to customize ads based on specific interests.
If you are curious about the interests and demographic Google associates with your cookie and how they determine which ads to show you, or would like to add/remove categories so the ads are more to your liking, or completely opt out, you can do so here: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/.
