What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Featuring nine flavors, Rip It is "energy fuel at a price you can swallow." The manufacturer claims that these energy drinks energize you over time so they last longer and don't give you a crash later on. Distributors boast this product's affordability insisting that if you have a dollar, you can afford to drink Rip It.These energy drinks are available in 20-oz. cans as opposed to 16-oz. cans so it also lasts a little longer than the usual energy drinks. These energy drinks are available in flavors including Rip It Energy Lite, Rip It Energy Fuel, Rip It Citrus X Sugar Free, Rip It Citrus X, Lime Wrecker, and Atomic Pom.
List of Ingredients
Rip It (original) contains carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, taurine, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium citrate, inositol, caffeine, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate (preservatives), salt, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), guarana seed extract, ester gum, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), yellow 5, folic acid, yellow 6, and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).Rip It Lite contains sucralose and acesulfame potassium.
Product Features
Rip It products are a favorite with value-conscious consumers and appeal to customers at Dollar Tree, Wal-Mart, and in military commissaries. Soldiers appear to be a strong component of Rip It's target audience, as well as young adults at work and play. The product was developed by Richard "Rip" Hamilton, shooting guard and small forward for the Detroit Pistons. While it's hard to consider Rip It an actual weight loss product, if used in conjunction with an exercise regimen, it could provide you with enough extra energy to burn more calories than you would without it.
- Cheap.
- Rip It energy drinks are distributed all over the place. You can find them in gas stations, retail stores, and even liquor stores.
- Unless you drink the sugar free variety of Rip It drinks you will be consuming quite a bit of sugar and calories.
- Rip It energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine which may cause nervousness in some people.
- Rip It energy drinks aren't technically weight loss products.
Rip It energy drinks are the low cost alternative to the more popular energy drinks. Rip It drinks contain a lot of sugar and caffeine unless you get the sugar free variety. These energy drinks might give you a little extra motivation to improve a workout or get some extra work done but they shouldn't be used as a weight loss product.

Oxley, B of A Chief Speak out on Regulatory Reform
Blackwell, Rob, Rehm, Barbara A., American Banker
The debate over the future of financial services regulation finally appeared to start in earnest Thursday, as a key lawmaker pledged to hold hearings on the issue and the head of Bank of America Corp. weighed in.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Michael G. Oxley, making his first public comments on the topic, called the existing setup inefficient.
"We can do better," the Ohio Republican said at an all-day symposium on the topic sponsored by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. "The inefficiencies in the current system and the increasingly competitive nature of the international market are going to eventually collide and put U.S. financial services firms at a potentially serious disadvantage."
Bank of America's chairman and chief executive officer Kenneth D. Lewis supplied what he said was an example of that inefficiency.
"Our company has at least 90 examinations scheduled for this year with five different federal regulators -- and that tally does not include activities of the FDIC, which has only recently assigned a resident examiner to our headquarters in Charlotte," he said. "What more we have left to inspect I don't know, but there's no question there are opportunities for streamlining."
Rep. Oxley put the debate over streamlining supervision into dollars and cents: $519 million for the FDIC, $459 million for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, $161 million for the Office of Thrift Supervision, and $100 million for the Federal Reserve Board.
"This sum totals more than $1.2 billion to regulate banks and thrifts in this country," he said. "That is not even including insurance regulators or state regulators. I have no question the money to protect the soundness of the economy is well spent, but is it possible to spend less money on a more efficient regulatory structure?"
FDIC Chairman Don Powell first raised the prospect of an overhaul in May and offered a recommendation for change in October: having one federal agency each for banks, brokers, and insurers.
Rep. Oxley said such a radical overhaul faces long political odds but should be debated. "I've been in politics too long to expect something as simple as that to work, but why not consider it further?"
Yet speakers on two panels at the conference were less supportive of potential changes, either suggesting more moderate reforms than Mr. …

In this work, we explore simultaneous geometry design and material selection for statically determinate trusses by posing it as a continuous optimization problem. The underlying principles of our approach are structural optimization and Ashby's procedure for material selection from a database. For simplicity and ease of initial implementation, only static loads are considered in this work with the intent of maximum stiffness, minimum weight/cost, and safety against failure. Safety of tensile and compression members in the truss is treated differently to prevent yield and buckling failures, respectively. Geometry variables such as lengths and orientations of members are taken to be the design variables in an assumed layout. Areas of cross-section of the members are determined to satisfy the failure constraints in each member. Along the lines of Ashby's material indices, a new design index is derived for trusses. The design index helps in choosing the most suitable material for any geometry of the truss. Using the design index, both the design space and the material database are searched simultaneously using gradient-based optimization algorithms. The important feature of our approach is that the formulated optimization problem is continuous, although the material selection from a database is an inherently discrete problem. A few illustrative examples are included. It is observed that the method is capable of determining the optimal topology in addition to optimal geometry when the assumed layout contains more links than are necessary for optimality.

"The gunshot was at 9:20 and I didn't think anything of it because it's so common around here because of hunters," said neighbor Kim Ketterer.
Kim Ketterer says she's lived on Riverfront Road for five years and describes the neighborhood as very quiet but that wasn't the case Wednesday morning (3/23).
"I heard the ambulance so I looked out side ... shortly after my daughter called me and told me the lady's daughter had called her and said there's been a home invasion down there and the lady was shot," said Neighbor Billy Carver.
That lady was 55-year-old Margie Williams. A 911 call sent deputies to Williams' home. When they arrived, they found her with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Surprisingly, Williams was able to talk at the time and told deputies she was the victim of a home invasion; but deputies said they soon determined that was not the case.
Deputies said the bullet was removed from Williams' forehead and is being processed as evidence.
Meantime, neighbors are speculating as to what really happened.
"It could have been self inflicted or it could have been an accidental gun shot victim, but the fact that the person had a bullet hole in the middle of the forehead and even more remarkably that God let them live after," said neighbor Kevin Lewis.
Despite their initial findings which do not point to a home invasion deputies said an investigation is still ongoing.
Deputies said Williams was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital where she has under gone surgery and is in stable condition.
Word among those in the neighborhood is that Williams is expected to make a full recovery.

Are you working on cutting edge research on the future of cybersecurity policy? If so, you have less than 3 weeks left to enter our Cybersecurity 2020 essay contest for a chance to win the $5,000 cash prize!
Microsoft is looking for original research that answers one or both of the questions below, with a preference for entries that integrate quantitative analysis:
- Which cybersecurity policy choices have the most impact on cybersecurity outcomes and, based upon your answer, are there "actionable" recommendations for policymakers? For example, have national-level regimes for securing government networks had a meaningful impact on cybersecurity? How might those regimes be improved? Additionally, for example, can cybersecurity policies impact user-level security? And if so, how?
- Given the growth in people, devices, and data connected to the Internet, how should policymakers adapt current approaches, and are there elements missing from the current policy landscape that should be created, or existing instruments that should be deprecated? For example, many global-level cybersecurity policy regimes were created when most Internet users were based on North America and Europe; will the rise in Internet users in Asia, Africa, and Latin America require changes to these regimes? Additionally, for example, cybersecurity policies have been optimized for a desktop-centric world, where the computing machine, their operating systems, and often their users were fixed within a geography. What changes are necessary to accommodate a more mobile-based world?
To enter, send an email to email@example.com with your essay in Microsoft Word format and include the following information: first name, last name, email address, and school / university. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) on June 14, 2013. For more information, including official rules of the contest, please visit: www.microsoft.com/gssdcontest
We look forward to hearing from future cybersecurity policy leaders on how they would tackle these challenges.

This blogpost was co-authored by Raise Hope for Congo Assistant Campaign Manager Alex Hellmuth and STAND National Student Director Mickey Jackson.
Yesterday, hundreds of students across the country, and around the world, took time out of their day to call the White House. The students raised their voices to ask for greater U.S. involvement in Congo's peace process, and specifically, for the appointment of a presidential envoy to coordinate the U.S. government's response to the conflict in eastern Congo. Since April, the M23 rebellion has wreaked havoc on the eastern Congolese population and displaced over 600,000 people. Recent reports note there is a rise in sexual violence in North Kivu due to the heavy movements and presence of militias.
The action was co-sponsored by the Conflict-free Campus Initiative and STAND. This call-in day builds off of the Vote4Congo campaign in November when students sent in photos holding signs that read "I'm voting for Congo" to show that no matter who was elected as President, the conflict in Congo had to be made a priority. Over 400 photos were collected and made into an Instagram petition that was delivered to the White House earlier this January.
By appointing an envoy, President Obama can help ensure that the peace talks, which lack transparency and the involvement of the international community, include all the appropriate actors and address the short-term needs for peace and long-term systemic drivers of conflict in the region. Additionally, a presidential envoy would ideally be a high-level individual with experience and relationships in the region, and could ...[view whole blog post ]

VLC 1.0 "Goldeneye" Now Out
After its debut almost eight and a half years ago, the VideoLAN Client (VLC) media player is finally available in version 1.0.
Even though VDPAU and ffmpeg-mt are still not integrated, VLC developers haven't been sitting on their hands and have brought a few key enhancements to the "Goldeneye" release. VLC now plays DTS TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus surround audio format introduced by Blu-ray, and an uncompromised Blu-ray Linear PCM surround audio no longer shocks the player. The sound format popular on mobile phones, the QCELP codec from Qualcomm Purevoice, is also supported. An improved decoder for WMA 1/2 and RealVideo 3 and 4 is also there.
The demuxer for Blu-ray's M2TS sound format was also improved, as also for the RM and RMVB Real Media containers. The Matroska demuxer also supports Dirac, MLP and RealVideo with MKV files. There's finally an implementation for Blu-ray and AVCHD rendering, although this is still "experimental".
Goldeneye also provides single frame stepping, more precise speed controls, timeshifting, on-the-fly recording for all media, improved subtitles support, surround support for Pulse Audio, on-the-fly decompression of GZIP and BZIP2, a send scanner for the popular DVB-T sticks, global hotkeys, HTML playlist export, numerous improvements in the the QT interface, and compliant interface toolbars.

Letters: North County, April 11, 2013
Pala attorneys aggressively negotiated, with no compromises. Unfortunately, more than 100 owner titles were lost or clouded, so Pala attorneys insisted on a delay to clear them. Eventually, business slowed, lawsuits ensued and the ranch declared bankruptcy. Ranch owner resentment grew toward the Pala.
Eventually, several bidders emerged including Pacific Hospitality Group (PHG). Unlike others, PHG promised a speedy close and a membership program for owners guaranteeing future access to ranch amenities. Most importantly, PHG agreed to take the 100 clouded titles; Pala did not. This was probably the turning point for PHG.
Judge Adler stated that her task was to seek the best outcome for the owners. Clearly she made her decision based on the total merits of the offers, not the unfortunate injustices of the past.

Skip to comments.Many Young Black Men Are Afraid They Will End Up Like Trayvon
Posted on 08/21/2012 1:19:42 PM PDT by MNDude
Ever since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman on that faithful night, America has been on their toes about the stereotypes that have been put under a spotlight.
There are all types of statistics that are supposed to show that young black men have to be more careful with how they act, and it gets harder when those stereotypes only worsen from it.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, young black men are more fearful of their futures ever since the incident with Trayvon Martin.
A 19-year-old boy named Jaboris Haynes spoke with the Sentinel and revealed:
"Sometimes it hurts. When I was younger, I thought of being a different race and wondered what it would be like. The message I got about being a young black man wasn't a good message. I always felt like somebody was after me, like they were judging me, just because I'm a black male."
(Excerpt) Read more at globalgrind.com ...
Good. Don't jump on citizens observing you on a street you don't live on jackasses.
Well they should start acting like they are not part of a wild Tribe!
They're not entirely wrong. But it's MUCH more likely they'll be killed by other young black men.
Don't bring a fist to a gun fight.
"America has been on their toes about the stereotypes that have been put under a spotlight."
Wait...what? We are? I didn't get that memo.
Who didn't send me the frickin' memo?!?!?!?
Very few will be killed by white-Hispanics.
Um... I've been careful of how I acted every since I was a teenager. Confusing oppression with self-control is a large part of the problem in the black community.
If you don't want to be mistaken for a thug, then don't dress like one.
On a somewhat related note, a young black lifeguard at the local pool here was wearing a hoodie (hood up, of course) in the current 80-degree, cloudless weather. WTF? These clowns want to be taken seriously?
Solution: DON'T COMMIT CRIMES!
On that faithful night?
You'd be hard pressed to find a "stereotype" that exists without reason.
I got an idea! Say, why don't you integrate with the Western Judaeo-Christian culture of America, live by the same behavioral standards, and we'll forget about your melanin enhanced status altogether?
Jaboris, go with those guys wearing the white coats.....they are there to help you.
Live like a thug, die like a thug.
I'd like to think it was a wake up call for some thugs.
These young 'men' need to realize that it's not about skin color, it's about behavior. Live like a thug, die like a thug.
Yes by an overwhelming statistical margin - 96% are shot by fellow blacks or Latinos.
But never mentioned by the MSM.
There are many that would try to tell you that skin melanin content is somehow inseparable from behavior.
O' Come All Ye Fateful...
"I always feel like, somebody's watchin' me....."
Then stop whining and leave Florida and seek safe haven in a black friendly city like Chicago.
Seriously. Do these folks just throw some random syllables together and call it a name?
I'd be surprised if somebody hasn't already named their kid, "Kwyjibo."
Don't go 'round making people kill you to defend themselves, and you'll be fine, dude....
Get outta my head!
I got another idea! Stop giving your children stupid 'made-up' names: a hiring manager will give a much fairer shake to John, Tom, or Kathy then Dante, Trayvon, or Lateesha.
Don't become a drug dealer, as was Trayvon, and risk losing your life.
Yeah, but... how are ya s'post to give a beatdown for a dissin' when someone be armed?
I don' get it!
Foolproof ways to not end up like Trayvon:
Don't idolise the "gangsta" lifestyle.
Don't portray yourself as a gangbanger wannabe on social media.
Don't snoop around neighbourhoods looking in windows.
Don't physically assault neighbourhood watch personnel who are just doing their job.
Names are part of the culture, and, like I said, a lot fewer would be dying if they integrated with the mainstream American culture (including naming conventions).
Good maybe fewer of them will brutally attack people smaller than them. The way to not end up like Trayvon is to not act like he did.
Didn't they make a documentary a few years back on this theme? "Scared Straight" I think it was called...
The biggest threat to young urban black men are young urban black men.
I didnt get that memo, either. I am fixin' to go out in my back yard and pick some tomatoes and bounce on my toes while doing it! Should I take my AR 180 with me or a pistol! No memo - so it will be the AR-180. We are very alert here!
What a cop out! They know saying that makes white guilt liberals get all weepy and and they play those suckers like a fiddle.
Stand on your own two feet and MAN UP!!! And I don't mean act like a thug.
There fixed it.
Act like a thug, die like a thug. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
On my cellphone, I read the headline as, "Many Young Black Men Are Afraid They Will End Up as Taxpayers."
"The biggest threat to young urban black men are young urban black men."
True, but it's so much more painfully embarrassing getting killed by a white guy.
Bull Obama.
What a bunch of equine fecal matter.
Young black males are almost exclusively victimized by other black males as evidenced by every measurable source known.
Another ploy to disarm law-abiding citizens...it gets old.
I don't know if he should be worried or not. Good people don't get shot in self-defense ... thugs often do. Which path you choose, not your race, determines how likely you are to die of a gunshot wound.
Careful, you're going to bring out the few Treyvon defenders on here. I know I did a few days ago. LOL
What's next? Janatasha? Jabullwinkle? Jarocky?

One of our biggest rivals throughout our history. So many great moments come to mind.
1994 NFC Championship game, ( I was there) smoking them 38-28, getting a 21-0 lead in the first 7 mins. and getting revenge for the previous NFC title games 2 years running.
The Catch Jan. 10th 1982 ( need I say more) I was born that day and my dad missed that game. He always tells that story.
T.O. running to the star twice in a regular season in Sept. 2000. I will always love T.O. for that and for his catch vs. green bay in 98 Wild Card. Gardner rushed for over 200 yards. Jerry Rice had a couple TD's and we killed them 41-24.
2002 regular season game, we come back in 4th qrt. to win 31-27, after trailing 27-17 with like 8 mins. left. ( I was at that game too, so its special to me. I was sick when dallas got that 27-17 thinking we were going to lose to those bums, but Garcia had a great comeback.
A few moments that come to mind there for me. What moments for you?

That thought has crossed my mind. I have a brand new .45 cal barrel for it that only needs the breech plug, I may try that too.
That thought has crossed my mind. I have a brand new .45 cal barrel for it that only needs the breech plug, I may try that too.
New breech plug is on the way, $16 + shipping. Worst case I will be shooting a .45 cal this fall. Thanks for the input guys!
I've got one of the same guns, kinda a POS if you ask me. Is there no way to use flat screwdriver socket on an impact wrench to pull it? Don't waste a lot of $ on it as you can by those guns for next to nothing these days. I had trouble with ignition on the factory plug so switched over to a CVA plug and it seem to do fine now with 777.
Not sure if it is really rusted in as the barrel and breech plug should be stainless.
Might be able to get a large easy out that would fit right into the primer pocket and get a bite. Another thought I had was driving a torx bit into the primer pocket. Something like a t-40 should be a pretty close fit. Or welding a nut to the plug. No matter what you do try to use and impact to do the removal instead of just a ratchet.
The idea of using heat and cold might work as well. Just remove the stock and scope and you should be able to get pretty aggressive.
That being said you may have had a much different experience and really like the gun. Hope the barrel switch works out.
No worries Okie. I know it's not the best one out there, but here in Oregon drawing a good muzzy tag takes 5-12 years so spending a bunch of money on something I rarely use wasn't in the cards when I bought it, still isn't. I would love the have the best equipment and weapons for hunting, but I don't and likely never will. I seem to do just fine with what I do have though.
So what powder do you shoot out of your x-150? I tired Blackhorn 209 but never could get good ignition so I switched to 777 pellets and it works fine.
Glad you got the plug and barrel lined out!!!
"I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family, I love the way it is now, and anybody that tries to change it has to come through me, that should be all of our attitudes, cause this is America!!"
- Charlie Daniels
"Most democrats in WY are not like other democrats (they actually like babies, guns, and the constitution)"
- AT Hiker
I didn't have any problem with my barrel or breech plug. That was the OP.

This post will be updated throughout the afternoon.
Corey Brewer says that to him, Manu Ginobili is the toughest guy to guard in the NBA.
Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo, as quoted by @StackMack on Twitter: "I ran out of players to trade."
Nate Robinson says he's not bitter about not getting a longer deal, and that the Knick coaching staff has been working "to perfection."
Lots of livestreaming. For instance, Brandon Roy is video chatting right now. The Spurs are streaming live. The Warriors. Many others.
"Seeing my name on the jersey, it's really starting to hit home -- man I'm really in the NBA. It's awesome." -- Blazer rookie Jeff Pendergraph
Brian Windhorst, on Twitter: "Delonte West declines to comment directly on arrest. He is in good spirits."
Mike D'Antoni, via the Knicks' official Twitter feed: "I don't see why we can't put five guys out there 6-8 or over. We got some guys who can do some things ..." Knicks taller than 6-8 include Jordan Hill, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Al Harrington, David Lee, Jared Jeffries, Darko Milicic and Eddy Curry.
What about Eddy Curry? Marc Berman tweets: "Curry has lost weight but must lose grotesque Media Day beard. Curry already missed last 4 pre-camp workouts with hamstring and calf."
Michael Lee of the Washington Post: "Gilbert Arenas decided that he didn't want to pay a hefty fine so he spoke with reporters. Arenas purposely tried to be subdued, surly and serious and sounded reluctant to speak at the beginning. He scowled, offered simple, short answers and mumbles. But he wound up talking for about 30 minutes, adding some jokes from time to time. The man can't help it. The biggest thing he had to say was that he was done being an entertainer. No more Agent Zero. No more hibachi. No more antics. No more blogging. And he says he has no plans to get on Twitter. Arenas said he is focused only on playing basketball and being more a leader for the team."
Doc Rivers says Kevin Garnett has no medical restrictions. UPDATE: Jonathan Abrams of The New York Times tweets: "KG: ready to go and been playing 5-on-5 since last week. Still no explanation for why the injury took so long to heal."
Phil Jackson, like Mike D'Antoni (above) is dreaming of a large lineup of Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.
The Celtics have won 17 titles, but have 18 banners hanging in their practice facility. The last one is blank. Doc Rivers says it was Red Auerbach's idea.
Brian Windhorst: "An omen? Complete power failure at Cleveland Clinic Courts."
Ben Q. Rock of Third Quarter Collapse, via Twitter: "Just walked up to Adonal Foyle. He was talking about socialized medicine."
The leadership in Orlando -- Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy -- get contract extensions.
BlazersEdge quoting Greg Oden on Taylor Swift getting interrupted by Kanye West: "If I was 17 years old and somebody did that to me, I'd be in the back crying."
Gilbert Arenas says his personal trainer, Tim Grover, will be coming to Washington to teach the training staff. Bullets Forever quotes: "What NBA staffs don't have, he has. He has a person who does acupuncture. He has a chiropractor, he has PT people. He has it all in one facility, so you get all the treatment you need right there. The stuff I needed, we didn't have here."
LeBron James says he may or may not play for Team USA in the World Championships next summer.
Stephen Jackson is still unhappy, and Monta Ellis is getting in on the act, too, saying he can't imagine starting alongside prized rookie Stephen Curry. Marcus Thompson on Inside the Warriors: "'I can't.' Why not? 'Cause I can't.' But why not? Too small? 'I just can't. I can't. Can't win that way.' Monta went on to say if coach Don Nelson -- who has been saying all offseason he wants to play them together, is hoping to re-create the Ellis-Baron Davis tandem, it ain't happening because, and I am summarizing here, Curry ain't Baron. He doesn't have Baron's experience and size to make it a productive backcourt."
Ron Artest tweets that he recently learned he, and his proposed reality show, are too "ghetto" for BET. I'm thinking this is one reality show that belongs on the internet.
Good day for rookies. Sacramento's Jon Brockman: "Just put my full uniform on for the first time. WOW what a great feeling."
Larry Brown, using the media to needle Alexis Ajinca.
Frank Dell'Apa of the Boston Globe, quoting Rajon Rondo, who would like a contract extension but is trying not to think about it too much: "I want to be wherever I'm wanted the next 10 years; if Danny wants me, I'll be here the next 10 years. I have sat down with Danny [Ainge], but we didn't speak about contract, we talked about expectations for the season. I try to focus on -- trying to get a ring, got to get one this year."

|SynthFont is a program for editing and playing midi files using various sound source files like SoundFonts, GigaSampler files, SFZ files and more. VST instruments can also be used instead of a sound source file. A midi file is different from - for instance - a MP3 file in that the file does not contain any audio data. The file is a collection of notes and instructions for how to play them. SynthFont combines this data with the audio data in a SoundFont to produce ("render") an audio version of the song.

SynthFont2 is the second generation of SynthFont and has a number of new features and improvements.
SynthFont2 is not freeware. If you have a valid SynthFont1 license (a license for the previous generation) then you are entitled to use SynthFont2. Users without a SynthFont1 license may try SynthFont2 for 30 days.

"Your A Feck Shonet Wife"
I am very sorry to think that I should not have it in my power to attend on you. When will it be in your power to come home? How I long to see you but I would not say a word that would give you one moment's trouble. . . . If you are having the gout . . . I wish I was near enough to rub it with a light hand.
-- Deborah to Franklin, August 16, 1770
WHETHER IT BE ULYSSES OR FRANKLIN, ten years away from home is a devastating stretch. Interest wanes, time yawns, feeling becomes formula. Endless repetition serves only to empty the formula of whatever content it once had. As Franklin liked to quip, love is governed by a variant of the law of attraction: It diminishes in direct proportion to distance.
It would never do nowadays, such a marriage. In our day, a wife might ask what kind of father, instead of coming home for his only daughter's wedding, would choose instead to burden her, the aging mother, with the entire responsibility for it, limiting his role first to the expression of qualms and reservations, later to an angry silence. In our day she would not put up with a husband who was always away--five years the first time, then ten long years abroad--while be promised every spring he would come back in the fall, every fall that be would sail home in the spring. Ten unbroken years, even though be had known for the last four of them that she was desperately ill and that she longed to see him once again before she died. He had been told she had suffered a stroke; he could see for himself the once firm hand and the once clear mind waver and disintegrate into a chaos of babbling and a jumble of lines. But he did not want to see. He stayed away.
What about him, the husband? He, nowadays, would probably not have remained married to such a wife, the plain, hardly literate wife of his youth. He would feel that she had not grown apace with him, that she was still a shopkeeper's wife while he had become a world-famous scientist and statesman. He would be acutely aware that she had no

#ifihadglass I'd build apps that provide relevant real-time information. Poker odds when playing cards, cooking instructions in the kitchen, product reviews from barcode scanning, train schedules at the train station. Being hands-free and non-disruptive in social settings (unlike looking away from a conversation to read a phone) will make it incredible.

BURLINGTON, Vt.—Today, Vermont State Librarian Martha Reid voiced (pdf) the concerns of our nation's libraries about the importance of an open Internet at a U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary field hearing.
WASHINGTON—On the first day of its 2014 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, the American Library Association (ALA) welcomes news (pdf) from Simon & Schuster that it will convert its pilot library ebook lending program to serve all U.S. libraries. ALA President Barbara Stripling released the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The American Library Association (ALA) is rallying librarians to support the Online Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2014, a bill that would prohibit paid prioritization over the Internet. Introduced today by Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the legislation would prohibit Internet service providers from giving preferential treatment to the traffic of online content, applications, services, or devices.
ALA President Barbara Stripling responded today to the introduction of the net neutrality bill:
CHICAGO — Libraries of all types (academic, public, school, and special) are increasingly transforming their library spaces, resources and programming to offer makerspaces that provide opportunities for library patrons to engage with others in hands-on learning and creation.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Schools and libraries nationwide are routinely filtering internet content far more than what the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires, according to "Fencing Out Knowledge: Impacts of the Children's Internet Protection Act 10 Years Later (pdf)," a report released today by the American Library Association (ALA). CIPA requires public libraries and K-12 schools to employ internet filtering software to receive certain federal funding.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld (pdf) the ruling in Authors Guild v. HathiTrust, deciding that providing a full text search database and providing access to works for people with print disabilities is fair use. The court also ruled that the Authors Guild lacked standing, and therefore could not assert infringement claims against the HathiTrust.
Washington, D.C.—Leading library visionaries and experts discuss trends in digital content technology and the current state of library ebook lending in "Digital Discoveries," a new digital supplement from American Libraries magazine.
Community Engagement through the Declaration for the Right to Libraries: Free webinar moderated by ALA President Barbara Stripling
Washington, D.C.—In response to today's passage of the USA FREEDOM Act (H.R. 3361) in the House of Representatives, American Library Association (ALA) President Barbara Stripling today released the following statement:
Washington, D.C.—Today's vote by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) re-opens one of the most important rulemakings to affect America's internet users and the libraries that support free public access and communities of researchers and learners. American Library Association (ALA) Immediate Past President Maureen Sullivan released the following statement in the wake of the FCC's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Open Internet:

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — When students return to Oregon State University on Monday, they'll see longer lines and that competition for everything from classes to parking place has intensified.
This is expected to be another record enrollment year at OSU with 24,000 students expected.
OSU's enrollment has grown slowly over its 142-year history, but the pace has increased dramatically in the past three years.
The anticipated 9.2-percent jump from fall 2009's record 21,969 students would put OSU on track for OSU
The seven public colleges and universities that comprise the Oregon University System also are seeing vigorous growth. Between 1999 and 2009, the Oregon University System saw enrollment increase from 67,347 to 91,580. That's a 26 percent jump. Higher ed officials expect to see more than 93,000 students in the system this year.

Check Out The Trailer For BEYOND: The First Horror Film Ever From Kyrgyzstan
Who's up for a bit of horror from Central Asia? Well, you've got it with the first trailer for Beyond (По ту сторону), the first ever horror film from Kyrgyzstan. As has been the case with first horror efforts from many non-traditional film cultures in recent years - because the format is cheap - this one is very much of the found footage variety and while the trailer does not include English subtitles they're not particularly necessary to understand what's going on. Take a look below.

Green Flag Over Texas. By Julia Kathryn Garrett, Ph. D.
(New York and Dallas: The Cordova Press, Inc., 1939.
Pp. xv, 275. $2.50.)
Green Flag Over Texas, like a candle in an attic crowded with
treasured heirlooms, casts a flood of light into a hitherto seldom
explored recess of Texas history. That recess, the period of two
decades immediately preceding the coming of the Austin pioneers,
is revealed by the author for the general public in a manner
rarely used by historians, the result of painstaking research set
forth in a popular style.
It is evident that the author has done an excellent job of
exploring the various archives and depositories in North America
where material was available as a source for her work. A brief
study of the bibliography reveals the fact that the author trav-
eled from Washington, D. C., through Texas, to Mexico City,
and thence to California. In Washington many manuscript
sources, only recently made available elsewhere in photostat or
microfilm form, were carefully examined. In Texas, the Bexar
Archives, that priceless fountain of Texas history, yielded most
of the essential material used in the preparation of the book.
Likewise, in Mexico and California many unusual manuscripts
were examined, such as certain volumes of Historia and papers
in the private collection of Dr. Herbert E. Bolton.
Although this work, which consists of five divisions, deals
mainly with the years 1810-1813, the first division, as its title,
"Spain Struggles to Fortify Texas Against Invasion and Revo-
lution," implies, gives a good account of the forces which were
using the buffer province of Texas as their battleground. The
remaining four divisions, in a series of thirty-nine chapters,
develop the triumph and failure of the Mexican revolution in
Texas. The Casas rebellion, the Bexar counter-revolution, the
work of Bernardo GutiBrrez, advocate in the United States of
the incipient Mexican revolution, the invasion of Texas by the
republican army under Gutierrez and Magee, the establishment
of the first Texas independent state, and the disastrous defeat of
the republicans by Arredondo at Medina, together with its un-
savory aftermath, are set forth with a subjective approach. One
should not, however, reproach that attitude in the author, for
