i have been using 55gr hornady 223. seem alright for me. dont really know of any others
This is a discussion on Defensive AR-15 Ammunition within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Anyone have recommendations on "good" SD ammo for AR15's?...
Anyone have recommendations on "good" SD ammo for AR15's?
i have been using 55gr hornady 223. seem alright for me. dont really know of any others
I use what my state and local LEO use. Winchester Ranger 5.56 64gr JSP. They seem to perform extremely well.
I use Black hills 5.56 with a 77 grain O(pen)T(ip)M(atch) bullet.
I American and I Ameriwill!
There are lots of great choices... It all depends on what you need it to do.
Hornady 55gr. SP or
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
If your are shooting 16 inch barrel 1 in 76 twist then keep it simple 62 gr 5.56 AKA green tip
If your shooting 20 inch 1 in 12 twist 55Gr.
Why would you use any AR15 in an apartment this world has gone nuts.
We need a 68.332 gr round that should make everyone happy and we will fill it with soft gold simple stuff made hard.
Yes I do know a thing or two about using an M4
Same as for any other varmint elimination- 60gr ballistic tip
Working on two new ones-60gr Partition & 64gr bonded
The situation will NEVER BE THE WAY YOU WANT, it WILL BE THE WAY IT IS. You must be FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ADAPT and just "DEAL WITH IT".
75gr TAP
55gr TSX
70gr TSX
Monotony is the awful reward for the careful
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. - JFK
The Black Hills 50gr TSX is vastly superior to the 55gr TSX.
For home defense, I would choose BH 50gr TSX or 75gr TAP first. After that, a TBBC, 64gr Gold Dot, 55gr or 62gr TSX, Ranger Bonded or Win Bonded.
I would choose based on my living situation and ammo availability. If I'm very concerned with overpenetration, I'd choose 75gr TAP above all else. If not, I'd choose BH 50gr TSX above all else.
Barrrl length will also playa big part in my ammunition choice.
I would not use an OTM bullet under 75gr. OTM relies on fragmentation for wounding and I want as many fragments as possible. Bonded relies on expansion, so 50gr to 62gr is fine and even sometimes preferred to heavier bonded bullets. 70gr TSX is an awesome hunting load and is in use with special operations (70gr optimized/Brown Tip), but it is deep penetration, so not always ideal for LE or home defense.
Stay away from varmint rounds like 55gr TAP, for example. They often fail to penetrate. They'll leave a nasty wound but in numerous cases they've failed to penetrate deep enough to reach vital organs.
55gr M193 and 62gr M855 can be decent choices, but they are inconsistent performers. They would be next to last choice after varmint rounds.
Even though BH 50gr TSX is solid copper and one of the best TSX choices for use against intermediate barriers like auto glass, it penetrates on the low side of the FBI minimum. So, it's still a good choice for home defense use.
So again, BH 50gr TSX and 75gr TAP T2 as my first choices with 55gr or 62gr TBBC (Tactical Bonded Bear Claw) or 64gr Gold Dot would be my second choice.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
When it comes to overpenetration, my understanding at this point is that 5.56 is very safe in this regard when it fragments at a wall, not so much if it remains solid and undeformed. I had thought that the TAP ammo is designed for expansion and not intended to fragment in tissue, but does it fragment at a solid barrier? Just wondering why you recommend 75 grain TAP for less risk of overpenetration.

Has anyone else dealt with an extremely angry child who has ADHD?
My 12 yr old daughter has some serious anger issues. Today has been utter hell, she woke up angry, went to school angry and came home angry. Swearing, yelling, fighting, stealing, is part and parcel of everyday at the moment. She is ADHD and we are beginning to see a psychologist, what I cant handle is that it is happening more and more. We are not sure if she has Aspergers, still waiting for her to be reassessed. She has made comments about wanting to kill herself, that she thinks we all think she is dumb which I have told her we dont. Does not recognise the word NO. Gets so upset that sometimes she curls herself into a ball and rocks in the corner. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this before in their children?? I need some advice or help. It is becoming so stressful for me and I am becoming more and more depressed because of it.In Topics: ADHD & attention issues

They could have been the next Fleetwood Mac, but their off-stage drama ultimately did the band in. (So they were the next Fleetwood Mac, in a way, just not the important way.) Led by ex-child stars Jenny Lewis (The Wizard, ) and Blake Sennett (Salute Your Shorts), California rock/pop outfit Rilo Kiley always seemed just one step away from the big time, with the sound, the songwriting and the backstory that should have had them destined for near-greatness. But it only ever materialized into a couple of great almost-hits, and in-fighting between Lewis and Kiley—the two used to be an item, of course—always handicapped the band's potential.
Now, Sennett says the band is no more. "I just felt like there was a lot of deception, disloyalty, greed and things I don't really want to submit myself to," told Sennett to Spinner Magazine. "I had related that frustration to music but I just thought, 'I'm not going to put myself in that position again,' so I said, 'F— that, I can't do this anymore.'" Sennett quoted Annie Hall to further explicate why the group should cease to be: "Relationships, like Woody Allen said, are either moving forward or they're moving backwards, they either degrade or they grow and it was degrading to some certain extent in Rilo Kiley."
Bummer. Not like we didn't see this coming—final album Under the Blacklight wasn't exactly a rip-roaring success (Sennett: "I don't think it was our best record by far"), and reading the eye-openingly soap-ish feature story on the band that Strawberry Saroyan did for SPIN in 2007, it was pretty clear that they were not a band meant for Rolling Stones-like longevity. Still, given the couple glimpses we saw of what could've been for Rilo Kiley—"Portions for Foxes," "The Moneymaker"—it's unfortunate that it all went to pot like this. Like the man said, there's nothing in this life sadder than wasted talent.

Gaza death toll climbs to 333 in the day 12 of Israel's Operation Protective Edge
Israeli air strikes and shelling killed more than 25 people across Gaza on Saturday, among them children, raising the toll in 12 days of violence to 333, medics said.
The latest deaths included five members of the Zuweidi family, including two girls aged two and six, in northern Gaza's Beit Hanoun, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.
Four men were also killed in two separate air strikes in Beit Lahiya in the north, he added, along with one person killed in the Qarara district of southern Khan Younis.
Another three men were killed in an air strike in central Gaza, he added.
Another man from the Jabalia area died of his wounds on Saturday, Qudra added.
Their deaths were reported after five bodies were pulled from a home hit by an Israeli air strike in southern Gaza's Khan Younis.
Also in Khan Younis, the body of another man was retrieved from the rubble of a building, and a man died of wounds sustained on Friday, Qudra said.
The discoveries came after the deaths of seven people outside a mosque in Khan Younis, three of them from the same family.
Three more people were killed in three separate strikes in Beit Hanoun in the north, Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and another in Khan Younis.
In Khan Younis, a later strike on a home killed Raed al-Laqan, 28.
Two Israeli civilians and one Israeli soldier have been killed since the assault started on July 8.
The soldier was killed by friendly fire inside Gaza on Friday, the army told Israeli media.
Some 2,385 Palestinians have been wounded, Qudra said.

Spatial models of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data allow one to estimate the spatial smoothness of general linear model (GLM) parameters and eschew pre-process smoothing of data entailed by conventional mass-univariate analyses. Recently diffusion-based spatial priors [Harrison, L.M., Penny, W., Daunizeau, J., and Friston, K.J. (2008). Diffusion-based spatial priors for functional magnetic resonance images. NeuroImage.] were proposed, which provide a way to formulate an adaptive spatial basis, where the diffusion kernel of a weighted graph-Laplacian (WGL) is used as the prior covariance matrix over GLM parameters. An advantage of these is that they can be used to relax the assumption of isotropy and stationarity implicit in smoothing data with a fixed Gaussian kernel. The limitation of diffusion-based models is purely computational, due to the large number of voxels in a brain volume. One solution is to partition a brain volume into slices, using a spatial model for each slice. This reduces computational burden by approximating the full WGL with a block diagonal form, where each block can be analysed separately. While fMRI data are collected in slices, the functional structures exhibiting spatial coherence and continuity are generally three-dimensional, calling for a more informed partition. We address this using the graph-Laplacian to divide a brain volume into sub-graphs, whose shape can be arbitrary. Their shape depends crucially on edge weights of the graph, which can be based on the Euclidean distance between voxels (isotropic) or on GLM parameters (anisotropic) encoding functional responses. The result is an approximation the full WGL that retains its 3D form and also has potential for parallelism. We applied the method to high-resolution (1 mm(3)) fMRI data and compared models where a volume was divided into either slices or graph-partitions. Models were optimized using Expectation-Maximization and the approximate log-evidence computed to compare these different ways to partition a spatial prior. The high-resolution fMRI data presented here had greatest evidence for the graph partitioned anisotropic model, which was best able to preserve fine functional detail.

Global Vehicle LiB Market Study Update
The worldwide market for Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles is extremely dynamic. In light of recently presented or announced vehicle models with electric, hybrid or plug-in-hybrid drives (xEV), Roland Berger experts expect the global LiB market to reach more than USD 9 billion by 2015, despite scaled-back forecasts for previously announced models.
This growth will, however, be accompanied by massive overcapacity. The resulting pricing pressures are already affecting orders for 2015. Market consolidation therefore looks certain. The five frontrunners – AESC, LG Chem, Panasonic/Sanyo, A123 and SB LiMotive – will control almost 70% of the market by 2015.
These are the key findings of a this international study on the market for lithium-ion batteries in cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles as well as buses with hybrid and electric drive systems.

Luxury German automaker Mercedes-Benz has taken camping to an opulent level with their camper van the V-Class Marco Polo. The van which was created along with camper conversion specialist Westfalia was recently unveiled at the annual Düsseldorf Caravan Salon trade show based in Germany.
The live-in camper offers luxurious styling, comfort, distinction, all adjectives that typically describes most Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The van's sleeping quarters appear when the two-seat rear bench slides along a floor rail, thus transforming into a single or double bed arrangement. The beds have lateral supportive backrests and side bolsters that adjust if its occupants want to sit up. The bolsters can also automatically deflate when folks are ready to go beddy-bye. The Camper can also accommodate an additional pair of sleepers under its pop-top roof that holds a double bed with foam mattress.
The luxurious hauler also has a kitchen with a stovetop, cupboards with self-closing drawers, sink, fridge, a workstation that extends and plenty of storage areas. Folks can eat, work or play games at a folding table for four that can be folded away and stored. Other amenities worth a mention--large wardrobe closet with sliding doors, 10-gallon fresh water tank that is protected against frost and ambient lighting. When it's time for sweet slumber, the camper's interior can be completely darkened by a curtain for the windscreen and front side windows. There are also other upscale touches such as black piano-lacquer trim surfaces and hardwood flooring.
The yacht-on-wheels has a 2.1-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel engine and buyers can opt for 136, 163 or 190 horsepower models of the Marco Polo. Other driver technological wants are also available in the camper such as electromechanical power steering, comfort suspension, Crosswind-Assist, 360-degree camera, Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assist. The fuel economy in the camper is also not too shabby with an estimate of around 39 mpg.
Fortunately for the Germans, they will be able to place their orders for the Marco Polo starting July 29. Unfortunately for folks on these shores however, who are probably salivating for a luxury camper like the one offered by Mercedes, they can only continue to pine because there is no word yet, as to whether the vehicle will make it to the U.S.

Brazil, MINUSTAH, Need a Timetable for Withdrawal from Haiti
brazil/guyana/suriname/fguiana | imperialism / war | non-anarchist press Monday July 25, 2011 21:08 by Mark Weisbrot - Folha de São Paulo
U.S. diplomatic cables now released from Wikileaks make it clearer than ever before that foreign troops occupying Haiti for more than seven years have no legitimate reason to be there; that this a U.S. occupation, as much as in Iraq or Afghanistan; that it is part of a decades-long U.S. strategy to deny Haitians the right to democracy and self-determination; and that the Latin American governments supplying troops including Brazil are getting tired of participating.
One leaked U.S. document shows how the United States tried to force Haiti to reject $100 million in aid per year the equivalent of 50 billion reais in Brazils economy because it came from Venezuela. Because Haitis president, Préval, understandably refused to do this, the U.S. government turned against him. As a result, Washington reversed the results of Haitis first round presidential election in November 2010, to eliminate Prévals favored candidate from the second round. This was done through manipulation of the Organization of American States (OAS), and through open threats to cut off post-earthquake aid to the desperately poor country if they did not accept the change of results. All of this is well-documented.

Maryland (Baltimore): Higher Bidder Given Minority
Preference! (05/06/99)
ANNAPOLIS - "The Board of Public Works turned aside a challenge from one bidder
yesterday and agreed to spend an extra $1 million to give the second-lowest bidder a
contract to build a juvenile justice center in Baltimore.
"The contract was awarded to Poole & Kent Co. of Baltimore even though W.M.
Schlosser Co. Inc. of Prince George's County submitted a bid that was about $1 million
"Andrew Schlosser, president of the company that submitted the low bid told the
[Board of Public Works] he was mystified that the state is spending an extra $1 million
when his company's bid exceeded all the specifications and it has completed several major
projects for the state with no problems.
"He said his company will file an appeal with the state's Board of Contract Appeals
seeking to overturn the decision to award the contract to Poole & Kent.
"The winning bid was supported by community activists from east Baltimore and the
state's minority contractors, who said the 23.14 percent of the work that will be done by
minority contractors under Poole & Kent's bid is the largest in state history for such
a large project.
"Schlosser said his bid guaranteed that a little more than 20 percent of the work
would go to minority contractors, but that the figure would actually be about 26 percent
if his company got the contract." (Associated Press 05/06/99 by Tom Stuckey)

The Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals, Robert M. Bell, is one of Glendening's
race-based, minority appointees to the state judiciary and Judge Bell is thus
significantly beholden to Glendening. Therefore, it is no surprise that it was Judge
Bell who arranged for Glendening to give this self serving speech in Hawaii.
Since his election in 1994, Glendening boasted in his Honolulu speech that he has
appointed 32 female judges and 24 minority (racially-correct, non-white) judges to the
Maryland courts.
At no time during his Honolulu speech did Gov. Glendening mention or offer evidence that
his female and minority judicial appointees were in any way more qualified than the white,
male counterparts that might have been considered for these same judicial positions if
they had only been the correct gender or ethnicity. (Based on the Washington Post

Maryland (Prince Georges County): 70 Non-White Firms Receive Gifts on
Redskins Stadium (07/09/00)
Special Report: Prince Georges County executive Wayne K. Curry was
elected to this majority-minority county in 1994. He ran on a pro-black, anti-white
platform, and he made good on his promise to award county contracts to persons of the
"right color". This Washington Post expose reveals the corruption and
racial favoritism PG executive Curry exercised in obtaining Redskins Stadium contracts for
his black friends and major campaign contributors.

Massachusetts (Boston):
Boston Housing Authority Declares Shamrock Racist!
(08/03/99 - no link)
"The Boston Housing Authority yesterday clarified its diversity policy after Mayor
Thomas M. Menino raised questions about reports that the BHA equated one of the city's
most familiar emblems, the shamrock, with hate symbols such as the swastika.
''There's no directive by the BHA to take down shamrocks, and the BHA is not equating
shamrocks with other symbols that were discussed in the diversity training such as
swastikas or Confederate flags,'' BHA director Sandra B. Henriquez wrote in a statement.
"Some residents in BHA housing developments, particularly those in South Boston and
Charlestown, hang shamrock flags - a symbol of pride for Irish Americans - from their
"Kelly said he was particularly concerned that the BHA was singling out ''the people
of South Boston and Charlestown and if that is not the case, they should take some
corrective action in their thinking and their policy.''
"The controversy erupted several weeks ago when South Boston Tribune columnist John
Ciccone wrote that the BHA was asking residents in housing developments to take down
shamrocks. The story appeared again in The Sunday Tribune, a Dublin newspaper.
"Yesterday, Kelly, state Representative Martin J. Walsh, a Boston Democrat, and
community leaders denounced the reported BHA policy. ''I find it insulting, and I'm
sure people of other cultures should also be insulted with that,'' Walsh said."

"Royal Zeno's shoeshine company will soon be the only one left in the Minneapolis-St.

last year threatened to replace Zeno's stand.
"Leather Care, the Hebron, Ky., company that a federal agency concluded last week was
not entirely owned or controlled by women, was kicked out of the airport by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission, which had allowed the company to enter the airport
because it initially was determined to be female-owned.
"The company must remove its four stands by Nov. 30. Chief Executive Officer Judith
Edwards traveled to Minneapolis Wednesday to argue her case before a commission panel.
"Last December, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a tentative finding that
Leather Care was co-owned by Kent Edwards, husband of Judith Edwards."

Minority Set-asides Start Monday (02/06/99)
"Minority business owners looking for loans will get some added help when the

(Minneapolis): Dayton Hudson Corp. Submits to Quotas; Allowed
to Bid on Contracts
"A reluctant Minneapolis Civil Rights Commission voted Monday to lift a
14-year debarment against Dayton Hudson Corp. after reviewing the company's new citywide
affirmative action plan. By a 13-2 vote with three abstentions, the commission decided to
allow Dayton Hudson to contract with the city in the effort to build a city-subsidized
Target store on the 900 block of Nicollet Mall. Opponents of abolishing the debarment,
which banned the corporation from doing business with the city, said they don't trust
Dayton Hudson to implement the new affirmative action guidelines. Dayton Hudson has said
it is proud of its diversity record, and federal filings indicate that minority employees
account for one-third of its nationwide work force." (Minneapolis Start

This paper presents a methodology developed for a study to evaluate the state of the art of automated map generalization in commercial software without applying any customization. The objectives of this study are to learn more about generic and specific requirements for automated map generalization, to show possibilities and limitations of commercial generalization software, and to identify areas for further research. The methodology had to consider all types of heterogeneity to guarantee independent testing and evaluation of available generalization solutions. The paper presents the two main steps of the methodology. The first step is the analysis of map requirements for automated generalization, which consisted of sourcing representative test cases, defining map specifications in generalization constraints, harmonizing constraints across the test cases, and analyzing the types of constraints that were defined. The second step of the methodology is the evaluation of generalized outputs. In this step, three evaluation methods were integrated to balance between human and machine evaluation and to expose possible inconsistencies. In the discussion the applied methodology is evaluated and areas for further research are identified.

Quit playing the overexcited tuff guy. Give yourself the proper time to heal, and you will thank yourself later for it.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Take the time to heal up right...
I have been in a lot of cemeteries and never seen a headstone engraved "I wish I had spent more time at work"
Take care and Godspeed!
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.
I'm like you in that I don't like taking pain medication. It drives JD crazy because I'll make the passing comment of, "My XYZ hurts."
He'll say, "Well, then take something."
"Then quit complaining!"
I think I would have more sympathy than that. But then, I'm a girl, and girls are supposed to be sympathetic. It's just that when JD is hurt he never says anything. He silently wallows in his pain until I give him a hug or something and he starts screaming, "NOT THE BAD ARM!!"
He'd get a lot more sympathetic gestures from me if he actually acted hurt.
He needs to take lessons from me.
Darn Marine mentality.

Nausea and Vomiting, ASCO's
section has been reviewed and approved by the PLWC Editorial Board,
Nausea is the urge to vomit. Vomiting, also called
emesis or throwing up, is the act of expelling the contents of the stomach
through the mouth. It is a natural way for the body to rid itself of
harmful substances. Nausea and vomiting are common in people receiving
chemotherapy for cancer and in some people receiving radiation therapy.
Many people with cancer say that they fear nausea and vomiting more than
any other side effect of treatment.
Mild nausea and vomiting can be quite uncomfortable, but usually causes
no serious problems. Persistent vomiting can cause dehydration,
electrolyte imbalance, weight loss, depression, and avoidance
of chemotherapy.
Nausea and vomiting in people with cancer may be caused by the following:
Anticipatory vomiting occurs in people who have vomited
from chemotherapy before. It can happen in the time before a person knows
he or she must go back to the hospital to have more chemotherapy. Acute
vomiting is vomiting that takes place in the first 24 hours after
treatment. Delayed vomiting may continue two or more days after
People who are at the highest risk for chemotherapy-induced nausea and
vomiting include the following:
Managing nausea and vomiting
Whenever possible, it is best to prevent nausea and vomiting from
starting. There are many medications available to help reduce or stop
vomiting. If you are at risk, your doctor may prescribe the antiemetic medications (drugs to stop vomiting)
before cancer treatment. In addition, many people find that behavioral
treatments can help control nausea and vomiting. Methods such as
distraction, relaxation, and positive imagery can help change the
expectation and fear of nausea and vomiting.

Back To The Future For Venture Capital Funds?
Is venture capital going back to the future?
With its reputation tarnished by poor returns and bloated funds raised over the past decade, the industry is rapidly downsizing. In the last two years, 252 venture firms only raised $25.2 billion – a big drop from the $68.7 billion raised by 419 funds in the two years before that.
It's clear that investors in venture funds are reconsidering their relationships with poor-performing firms, or eschewing venture capital altogether. At the same time, these limited partners are also taking a closer look at a new breed of fund managers – which some call "super angels" or "micro VCs" – who are preaching a return to the earlier days of venture capital when funds were small and former entrepeneurs ruled the land.
"The new generation of venture funds being formed opens up a different category," said Georganne Perkins, a managing director at Fisher Lynch Capital, a bicoastal firm that has invested in venture and private equity funds since 2003.
Speaking at the Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst Outlook conference in New York, Perkins said her firm has always reserved its capital for "top-decile managers" with a long track record. Fisher Lynch, with $2 billion in capital under management, is an investor in well-established firms Oak Investment Partners and U.S. Venture Partners, among others.
But Perkins said her firm is now trying to identify the best first-time fund managers "because we noticed that some of our established managers won't make the cut.
"And as we hopefully enter an exit market where the wheat will be separated from the chaff, so to speak, then some of those top-tier venture funds will fall away and some of those new venture funds will rise to the top," she said.
According to Perkins, Fisher Lynch is looking at former entrepreneurs who have started successful companies and have "taken their winnings and doubled down that capital" as angel investors. They should have proven they can manage that portfolio successfully, while building a network of connections with well-respected venture capitalists.
"Then I want to know that they're moving from hobby to a career change – by making a 20-year commitment to this. This is not for the hobbyists – they should be in it for the long run."
One of the few angel investors who made this transformation to venture capitalist in the past few years is Roger Ehrenberg, who last year raised a $50 million fund for his new firm in New York, IA Ventures. Ehrenberg, who spoke at the conference alongside Perkins, told the room of general partners that the most important thing as a first-time fund manager is to cultivate strong relationships with respected VCs.
Ehrenberg, who earlier in his career ran Deutsche Bank's internal hedge-fund trading platform, said a year ago he first raised $18 million from strategics and people he knew personally – Thomson Reuters, a couple of large hedge funds and trading firms, and a few venture capitalists whom he had done deals with. "I wanted to build the tools and portfolio to demonstrate that we could manage a fund in a professional way," he said.
Thanks to those general-partner relationships, when it was time to test the institutional-funding waters, he got introduced to a small group of pre-qualified limited partners that were interested in investing in small-sized funds. He said he had eight meetings, which resulted in seven "yesses" and demand for $85 million if he wanted it.
"It was these warm touches from very high-profile successful VCs that put us in a position to raise money," Ehrenberg said.
Earlier at the conference, another angel-turned-VC, Josh Kopelman, said general partners need to align their fund size to "exit-market realities," which means not relying on initial public offerings, the exit outcome that used to drive the venture industry.
"When I hop on a train in Philadelphia (where his firm, First Round Capital, is based), I can either take the local or the express," Kopelman said. "I think most traditional VCs when they fund a company kind of buy an express ticket to an IPO. And I think what you're seeing with some of these smaller funds, they're buying a ticket on a local train.
"They're going to the same destination – trust me, I want a billion dollar outcome just like anybody else – but our fund size allows us that when the doors open at a $50 million stop, or at a $200 million stop, or a $500 million stop along the way, we can sort of look around and say, 'There's smoke on the train, we need to get off.'"

HEOA Compliance Strategy
Part 1: Compliance Plan
1-1. Relavent Polices
- Information Technology Responsible Use Policy
- Policy on Ownership of Copyrights in Works
- Filesharing Guidelines
- Digital Copyright Violations Policy
1-2. What technology-based deterrents have you decided to use?
- The College responds to all Digital Millennium Copyright Act notices according to Digital Copyright Violations Policy published on our website.
- The border firewall is configured with a deny all policy for incoming connections. This prevents users from making any server service, such as a web server, ftp server, ssh, etc. available to the outside.
- P2P activity is regulated and positive identification of end users is achieved with advanced firewall technology.
1-3. What mechanisms are you using to educate your community?
Consistent with our educational principles, we view education as the most important element in combating illegal sharing of copyrighted materials. We use a wide variety of methods to inform our community about the law and Macalester's response to copyright infringement claims. In addition to the websites and resources described in section 1.1 these include the following activities:
- In order to use college computing resources, all members of the Macalester Community endorse a Responsible Use Policy that "…the faculty, students and staff of Macalester College honor intellectual property…".
- Information about filesharing with a reference to the College Filesharing Guidelines is sent to all new students. This information is also included in the Student Handbook.
- Posters are mounted in student computer labs and elsewhere to discourage illegal file sharing.
- Each fall we send an email to all students regarding illegal distribution of copyrighted materials.
- Computing support staff, including student Help Desk workers, are regularly trained on the College position with respect to copyright issues. Student workers provide an important channel for communicating with the student community.
- The computing staff periodically briefs members of the Student Senate about copyright, illegal file sharing, and related issues.
- Macalester's policies and procedures concerning the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and our response to infringement claims are published on Macalester's website.
1-4. What procedures are you using for handling unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material (e.g., monitoring, sanctions, etc.)?
The College's policy detailing the steps to be pursued in responding to DMCA notices are as follows. These are published in the Student Handbook.
- All notices are sent to an email created for this purpose: firstname.lastname@example.com.
- A Web Help Desk ticket is automatically generated and sent to: ITS Help Desk, Provost, Information Security Officer, Designated Network Administrator.
- The network administrator, using advanced firewall technology, identifies the end user associated with the IP address provided in the notice.
- Once positive identification is determined, the ticket is updated to include that information and the Information Security Officer sends an email message to the end user requesting that: End user remove offending material from network within one week, and to inform Information Security Officer when this has been done.
- In this message end user is informed that "Receipt of a second complaint will result in loss of network access for all computing devices (MAC addresses) registered to you on the Macalester network. This will be followed by a referral to the Dean of Students."
1-5. How are you periodically reviewing the plan? What criteria are you using to determine if it is effectively combating copyright infringement?
The policy and procedure are reviewed annually by the CIO and the Dean of Students Office in June and revised as necessary to remain in compliance. Based on the monitoring data that ITS collects relative to network traffic as well as the volume of DMCA notices received, the review will assess the overall effectiveness of the College's policy and procedures to promote the legal use of copyrighted materials. Any changes to the policy and/or procedures as a result of the review will take effect at the commencement of the following academic year.
Part 2: Offering Alternatives
2-1. RELAVENT POLICy
2-2. Are you carrying out your own survey of alternatives or linking to one or more lists maintained by others? If the latter, which lists?
We do not maintain our own resource site and instead provide links to MusicUnited and MPAA on Filesharing Guidelines.
2-3. Have you made any special arrangements with one or more content providers to obtain content through legal methods?
At this time the College has no special arrangements with one or more content providers to obtain content through legal methods. The College's position is that the College is not in the business of brokering such services.
Part 3: Informing the Community
3-1. Relevant Policies
3-2. Have you developed your own statement regarding copyright and copyright law in general or are you linking to such statements maintained by others? If the latter, which statements?
Yes, Macalester has developed its own statement regarding copyright and copyright law, included in our Policy on Ownership of Copyrights in Works.

PR campaign for the Honourable Minister Sandra Pupatello / Ontario
Ordinarily, if an economics minister from a federal state in Germany visited Ontario, would the local press in Canada take notice? Hardly. Communication Consultants faced a similar task when the Honourable Sandra Pupatello, Ontario Minister for Economic Development and Trade visited Germany to talk with potential investors. The minister's office was hoping for widespread media coverage. CC recruited journalists from daily and business media to hold one-to-one interviews with the minister. This resulted in unparalleled reporting in the German media.

Ponyo is the newest film by prolific filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, the brilliant visionary of such animated masterpieces as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, and Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro. Four years after his last film, Howl's Moving Castle (considered widely to be one of his most unusual films), Miyazaki takes us back to the concept of play among adult horrors.
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which is the literal title of the film translated from Japanese to English, is about a small fish-like creature named Ponyo who dreams of being human. Animation fans will obviously see the similarity between this premise and The Little Mermaid, but Ponyo is not 16 years old like Ariel; she is only 5 years old. Given that she is this young in human years might actually be more telling in certain lifetimes of fish, Ponyo however has got a lot to learn when it comes to the surface world. She is fiercely protected by Fujimoto, a bizarre wizard who hides from the rest of mankind in a submarine that is probably both magical and quite advanced in technology. As she evades her apparent father's formless creatures, she is literally hooked by the likes of a young boy named Sosuke who discovers her appetite for human things including fresh water, sliced ham, and human boys (not so much for human girls as she tends to give them the cold shoulder). Ponyo's defection to the city by the sea is not without its consequences though. The sea starts to get very angry and causes destructive weather, horrific tsunamis, and flooding of homes. These events in turn transform Ponyo into a human after drinking the blood of Sosuke in one instance. The disasters send the adult characters, especially Sosuke's mother, Lisa, into action to help the other cliff residents as Ponyo and Sosuke stay behind to conduct their own plan. The character of Lisa is interesting because she is constantly on edge over a husband who is never around when he needs to be, she helps run a retirement home filled with imaginative old ladies (and one total curmudgeon of course), and yet at the same time she does a tireless job raising Sosuke. In classic kids' movie sense, the kids see all of this as an adventure whereas the adults see it as unspeakable horror. The most unusual part of this story is when we realize Fujimoto had an almost mythological/Beowulf relationship to an ocean goddess who gave birth to Ponyo, and she enters the scene when things become desperate for the survival of the cliff community and the ocean itself. Apparently, this story might be modified quite a bit in the English version (shortened now to just "Ponyo") coming out this summer.
This reviewer had the fortunate luck of seeing this film online from an illegal taping of a screen somewhere in Japan. Subtitles were thankfully added and the viewing of the film in this matter was adequate, but this is not a review over the video quality, nor is this a morality question of the taping. This is a simple critiquing of this very beautiful 2008 movie. If it were not available online, it probably would have ended up on a 2009 list of mine later. Of course, it almost goes without saying that the hand-drawn animation is utterly fantastic. The scope, the depth, and the perfectionism of every conceivable detail is monumental, but this is not a surprise since the artistry of Miyazaki's animators at Studio Ghibli is always top notch. The film, of course, will not be for everyone since some of its mythos is obviously derived from Japanese culture, but the experience alone should be fun, especially for kids.

New Zealand prime minister John Key mocks the world's richest footballer as he speaks to schoolchildren.
10:01, UK, Saturday 03 November 2012
Former England and Manchester United footballer David Beckham has been mocked as "thick as bat****" by New Zealand's prime minister.
John Key told pupils at a school in Dunedin that his own son met the footballing superstar when the Los Angeles Galaxy team played an exhibition match in Auckland and was less than impressed with his intellect, according to Radio New Zealand.
The prime minister did, however, acknowledge that the world's richest footballer was handsome and kind to have spent 45 minutes with his son.
Beckham travelled to New Zealand for the game against an Oceania All Stars Team - an event which cost Auckland about £900,000 to stage.
The prime minister's office has refused to comment further on Mr Key's comments, according to local media.
Beckham is not exactly famed for his wisdom and has previously been lampooned for his remarks.
He once told an interviewer: "My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about seven."
On another occasion, after being asked whether he was a volatile player, he replied: "Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side"
And when speaking about the birth of his first child, he said: "I remember so clearly us going into hospital so Victoria could have Brooklyn. I was eating a Lion bar at the time."

Stop Resupply of ISD Corruptor
Help, I can't finish this mission. The first part is easy, I can destroy 100% of the convoy and only the frigate escapes. Somehow, when I get to the Corruptor, the X-Wings and A-Wings leave and my wingmen disappear and I'm left to fight the Tie Fighters AND destroy the shuttles. Why does everyone leave me? Help please!
Do you have the 2.02 patch?
Maybe one idea is not to destroy 100% of the convoy. I usually concentrate on destroying the Gunboats that the A-Wings and X-Wings aren't attacking. When the Container transport escapes, give chase and dumbfire all of your torpedoes at the engines of the Frigate and then disable it. Stay close to the disabled Frigate and wait for the Shuttles to launch. While you're waiting, destroy the TIE Fighters. Finally, finish of the Container Transport and, if you're game, take on the TIE Bombers (the A-Wings and some X-Wings should assist you). If you really want to you can disable the Star Destroyer, but doing this will bring in several (4-6) TIE Advanceds (at Ace AI level I think) from hyperspace. With your escorts assisting you, they shouldn't be too much trouble.
Concetrate on the Frigate monitor before makes jump one other thing set difficulty to easy and Invicibility unlimited ammo that you will find under general options
But B-wings are slow when I tarnsfer all energy to the engines, and I fight with the frigate, I never had enought time to disable or destroy it. Also how can you fight with the frigate, when you not quick enough to avoid its fire? It shallowed my shield in seconds.
I'd try keeping a good distance from the FRG (but still within laser range)...I find that you're more likely to become toast if you're less than .75 klicks from any capital ship (not just FRGs).
Wohoo, I got it!
After a thousand tries, a have destroyed the Monitor, before its hiperjump. I have transfered all energy into the engines after the jump, and targeted Container Transport, after my laser batteries dried out, I flew towards the Monitor, so the Gunboats didn't targeted me. I have shot its engines out with my lasers, and at a close distance with my rockets. After that, the Monitor was a dead ship. :twogun:

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_{n}$ be independent exponential variables with mean 1, and let $S_k = X_1+\cdots+ X_k$, it is not hard to get $\mathbb{E}(S_k)=k$.
Let random variable $Y_k=|S_k-k|$,
My first question is: what is the probability of $Y>t$ for some $t>0$, in another word: $\Pr(Y>t)$?
Define another random variable $Z=\max_{k=1}^n Y_k$
The second question is: how to calculate $\Pr(Z>t)$ for some $t>0$ or $\mathbb {E} (Z)$.

For some families, a visit to an amusement park involves riding each and every thrill ride. From the daring drops to the twisting turns, each moment brings the thrills that they seek. While not every ride will make your stomach drop, a few rides will get your heart pumping.
On a recent trip to Busch Gardens Tampa, the thrill rides were a top priority. Here are a few highlights that our family would recommend from Busch Gardens Tampa.
The unique sound from this roller coaster invites riders as they wait. This coaster makes your heart beat a little faster as riders hold over the 90 foot drop. The loops and turns whiz past until diving into a tunnel followed by a splash.
Cheetah Hunt:
This roller coaster isn't just tall; it is long. The longest roller coaster in the park, riders act like a cheetah on the hunt. The coaster stretches across the Serengeti. If you don't close your eyes, the view is great.
After the first 135 foot drop, your stomach might still be at the summit. The biggest thrill is the feeling of weighlessness as riders drop and spiral throughout the ride.
For those who want to be upside down, this roller coaster is a must. Montu has seven intense inversions. Like the name, be ready to head to battle with the Egyptian god of war on this ride.
Scorpion is a Busch Gardens classic. This roller coaster gives thrill in the drops and turns, but isn't as intimidating as the new coasters. There is a sting, but doable for those guest not wanting extreme thrills.
New for 2014 is Falcon's Fury. Although this ride was unable during our visit, this new thrill ride will definitely get the adrenaline pumping. Riders will get the highest view of the park before facing the ground and plummeting downwards. Based on the sketches, this ride is for those with no fear.
For those wanting smaller thrill, Busch Gardens offers many other rides that are perfect for all ages. From bumper cars to the carousel, everyone can get into the action. The Busch Gardens website and smartphone app shows thrill level and location of all the rides.
If your family is planning a trip to Busch Gardens, please check on the day of your visit for availability of rides. Each ride does have height requirements and other safety measures.

text: Dec 24, 2012 17:32 Inside Report for Dec. 19, 2012 Inside Report for Dec. 19, 2012 Details not clear on NORM issue BY DAVID MITCHELL| River Parishes bureau Comments Environmental regulation is often a question of degree seeking this answer: when is something too much and, as a result, bad for people and the environment? So it is for protections against radioactivity. All manner of things are radioactive at some level, however miniscule, including the human body, bananas, Brazil nuts, beer and raw lima beans. The regulation of naturally occurring radioactive material, called NORM, fits into this hot-and-cold porridge framework. Radioactive isotopes are distributed diffusely by nature in the earth's crust, but industrial activities involving the subsurface, such as oil and gas drilling or brine production, can concentrate those isotopes in pipe scale and sludge. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Argonne National Laboratory say NORM can have radioactivity at widely different levels, from safe background levels to ten thousand times greater. Radium-226, which results from the radioactive decay of uranium-238, is the principal element of concern with NORM, the EPA says. Radium-226 itself takes 1,600 years to undergo radioactive decay into another element, a process that releases radiation. DEQ is investigating Texas Brine's handling of NORM from the company's Grand Bayou site. In August and September 1995, the company asked DEQ and the state Office of Conservation for permission to put NORM in the Oxy Geismar No. 3 cavern in Napoleonville Dome. DEQ never granted permission then and has never authorized NORM disposal in the Napoleonville Dome, the agency says. This is the same brine cavern believed to have failed over the summer, causing an 8-acre sinkhole between the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou communities that prompted an evacuation now more than three months old and triggering the release of oil and methane. DEQ officials are emphatic that, in 1995, NORM of any level radioactivity was banned from salt domes by state law. While that ban remains in place,the Legislature in 1999 removed NORM and other exploration and production waste from the legal definition of radioactive waste, making NORM disposal in salt domes legal today. Richard Metcalf, director of environmental affairs for the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, said the ban's application to NORM in 1995 may not be as clear as DEQ asserts. Metcalf said DEQ regulations on NORM do not apply until a certain threshold radioactivity is met. What's not clear to Metcalf is whether the state salt dome ban overcame those regulations in 1995 before the 1999 changes. "If it's exempt from DEQ, but still radioactive, what does the (salt dome ban) statute mean? I don't know. Like I say, only a judge knows for sure," Metcalf said. Rodney Mallett, DEQ spokesman, said the ban included NORM, at whatever the level of radioactivity, in 1995. Mallett pointed to the definition of "radioactive material" at the time, as "any material, whether solid, liquid or gas, which emits radiation spontaneously." There's little hedging in that language. Texas Brine has given contradictory statements about whether NORM was put down the Oxy Geismar No. 3 cavern. When informed last month that DEQ considered NORM disposal in salt caverns illegal in 1995, company officials reversed an earlier statement that NORM was put in the cavern. Company officials said the material — in this case, a small amount of scale — remains on Texas Brine's Grand Bayou site under a DEQ NORM general license, first issued in 1991 after the company initially found NORM on site.
