10 latest updates and drivers and I need to run a game called unreal tournament, but in terminal it requires 2 commands The first one is to mount into the folder:
cd /usr/local/games/ut2004/
and then the second one is to open the actual game:
sudo aoss ./ut2004
In one shortcut i can only fit 1 command but both don't fit in is there any way i can turn these 2 commands into one? Perhaps turni9ng on the desktop shortcut already mounted into the folder? Any help would be really appreciated because im getting kinda sick of using the terminal to run it every time.

A few new blooms are appearing along the Olentangy river and throughout Ohio right now. The first, I believe, with some reservation, is yellow leaf cup, so named because this plant's leaves form a little cup where they come together and join the stem. This plant's leaves are a little bit strange. They weren't dissected as much as other members of this species. This is a member of the aster family. Notice the sunflower type blooms.
Then we have the ubiquitous wingstem. This plant, which gets very tall, loves to grow in rich, wet areas pretty much anywhere in Ohio. It has a yellow stem, and tonight in Kenney Park, this small blue butterfly seemed to be using it as a nectar source.
Last, but certainly not least, we have garden phlox. Although this sounds like something that should be non-native, it is actually a native species, although it is cultivated as well. Quite a nice purple flower. And no, Dame's Rocket didn't have a resurgence!
Enjoy the weekend!

Hachimantai Resort
The diverse range of pistes making use of the natural topography is a key attraction at this resort in the northern Iwate area of the Tohoku region
(c) Iwate Prefecture/ (c) JNTOThe ski resort at the foot of Mount Iwate, in the Towada-Hachimantai National Park, is called Hachimantai Snow Resort. There are 14 courses in total, with a variety of ways to enjoy them, depending on your level of skill in skiing and what you want to do.
A piste where you can play on sledges and ride on a snowmobile or banana boat means that even people experiencing snow for the first time can enjoy it with complete peace of mind. As the name suggests, the Debut Park is a big hit with novice skiers. Whether you're a child or an adult, visiting as part of a family or as a couple, you can have fun frolicking in the snow in whatever way you choose.
The Panorama Ski Resort is recommended for snowboarders and novice skiers who have begun to enjoy skiing after mastering the stop turn. The main course features a 2,700 m long piste with an average gradient of 15 degree. The gentle gradient means that all skiers and snowboarders can take it slowly and easily, making it the ideal course for snowboarding novices.
On the other hand, for highly-competent skiers who find ordinary pistes somewhat unchallenging, there is the Shimokura Ski Resort. Looking upwards from the bottom of the piste, which has a maximum gradient of 37 degree, it looks just like a wall. From above, you can't even see the bottom. There are pistes where you can enjoy fresh snow, which attract many highly-proficient skiers in search of the soft, fluffy texture of powder snow.
A free shuttle bus links the Panorama Ski Resort with the Shimokura Ski Resort. Amply furnished with equipment, ski- and snowboarding-wear, and schools that will teach you all you need to know, you can enjoy the snow to your heart's content.
Phone: 0195-78-4111 (Hachimantai Resort)
Hours open to visitors: Panorama Ski Area: Weekdays 08:30 - 16:30 Night time skiing: 08:30 - 21:00 (not fixed) Shimokura Ski Area: Weekdays 08:30 - 16:30
Directions: Train: 30 minutes by the Iwate-Kenpoku Bus from Obuke Station, which is on the JR Hanawa Line (3 hours 30 minutes from Tokyo Station) to Hachimantai-Onsenkyo
Car: 15 minutes from Matsuo-Hachimantai interchange on the Tohoku Expressway
Open: Mid-December - early April (differs according to the year)

We saw the new Throne of String custom Epoch Shafts, and were immediately jealous. Epoch is a partner of ours, so they gave us a sneak peek, and it immediately caught my eye. The custom shaft program from Epoch Lacrosse allows teams and brands alike to get their logo and name stamped on a set of Epoch Dragonfly shafts, and we think this program has really bright future, especially now that we've seen what can be done.
The shaft is still very much an Epoch shaft, and the overall look doesn't change all that much… but when you get a little closer, the details start to emerge, and that's where things get special.
You'll notice that the Epoch neon green is gone, and has been replaced with Throne yellow. The Epoch logo near the top is also gone, and has been replaced with a Throne "T". Throne of String runs down the bottom back side in their font of choice, and while the shaft still screams Epoch, it also says Throne quite loudly.
We found it interesting that two competing companies (Otter Mesh from Epoch, and Throne Mesh from Throne) would team up like this, and since I am on good terms with both parties, I decided to dig a little deeper. Why did these competitors team up on this? How does that work? Is this a new trend in lacrosse manufacturing, or just a one-off case of two good companies coming together?
The first question was for James Miceli at Epoch. Before we get into partnering, it might help to know why the company started a custom shaft program in the first place. So, James, why did you start this program?
Epoch Lacrosse decided to create a custom program because we wanted the opportunity to get the most technologically advanced shafts as many players hands as possible. Lacrosse has always had a sense of style that complimented the physical aspect of the game. The Epoch custom shaft program is the perfect blend of function and style.
Ok, from a business stand point that makes sense. Shows some savvy. But why team up with Throne of String when you guys have just come out with your own mesh, and could be considered competitors?
Our team at Epoch has always admired what Joe and his team at Throne have been able to accomplish, and in such a short amount of time. While me might technically be "competitors" we wish Throne nothing but success. The custom Throne Shaft is a prefect example of how our custom program should work. Epoch has several years of R&D specifically on carbon fiber shafts. Any new potential brands that introduce composite shafts will be generations behind Epoch. This partnership allows the style and brand that Throne has built to meet the technology and design that Epoch is know for.
Basically, the Epoch crew is saying that other people do good stuff, and they always look to work with people who do good stuff. That approach actually makes some sense!
But it wasn't just Epoch that was willing to work across the aisle. Joe Williams from Throne of String also had to agree to this set up. I asked Joe why he was willing to work with a brand that was "technically a competitor".
Epoch is an exciting and innovative brand run by fun, motivated individuals. They have a passionate structure just like our own. Making the decision to work with Epoch was a simple one. Their wide array of shapes, textures, and flexes is hard to beat. Not to mention they are incredibly light. Our two companies share the belief that a player's stick should be an extension of oneself. There truly is a handle for almost anyone at Epoch. Finalizing a design when the possibilities were nearly endless was a bit more difficult.
Ok, I'll bite! How did the design process work?
There were hundreds of paper mockups… Ever since college I've made "rough drafts" of my designs with paper mockups created on my computer. I took the basic Dragonfly Gen 4 and married it with the Throne Army aesthetic. Then I ran all the top designs by the some friends until I was sure we had a winner.
You can see the paper prototype above. In the end, it's a great feeling to see our Throne Crest on a Dragonfly. This is the opening act of a strong narrative between Epoch x Throne of String.
The only question that's left has to be, When is LaxAllStars.com going to release their custom Epoch shafts? I'm a fan of the product already, but get an LAS logo on there? SOLD!
Epoch is a proud partner of LAS, so we should be doing that soon enough. We can't wait! There are a lot of custom shaft programs out there, but this one is different, because the original brand is still represented on the shaft. It's innovative marketing, and it allows people to keep their gear as custom as they want. Even if Epoch weren't a partner, we'd be interested by this. Are you? Hit us up with your thoughts on this program in the comments section!

WITH THE oil and gas boom sweeping the nation, the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration needs help in dealing with the situation.
A recent problem occurred in March when 10,000 gallons of crude oil spilled from a damaged pipeline into the 374-acre Glen Oak Nature Preserve near Cincinnati. Small animals were affected by the spill but fewer large animals as they weren't going through the contaminated area because of the cold weather.
Yet, cleanup is time-consuming and expensive. For example, it was necessary to build a road so heavy machinery could travel to the area and to build a containment structure to keep spilled crude oil out of the nearby Great Miami River.
The spill came from a 5-inch crack in the Mid-Valley Pipeline. Repairs have been completed on the pipeline, which has been reopened.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the massive leak is "at least the third time in the last decade that oil has leaked in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region from this pipe,"and it's "the 40th incident since 2006 along that pipeline, which stretches 1,100 miles from Texas to Michigan."
With current boom, an expansive network of pipelines are being built or repurposed., and individual companies are left largely in charge of pipeline routes and safety monitoring. Federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration officials report they don't have the tools needed to enforce stricter standards.
WASTEFUL spending on the federal level is no secret so money surely is available somewhere.
As far back as 1975, the late U.S. Sen. William Proxmire was announcing Golden Fleece Awards about spending for unnecessary projects.
Although scientists sometimes objected to some of his awards, there are some recipients such as the Commerce Department for a $28,000 study of the best surfing beaches in Honolulu and $6,000 for the Army to spend on a 17-page study on how to buy Worcestershire sauce. Proxmire told reporters that whoever dreamed up that project "must have been on the sauce."
SINCE 1986, there have been nearly 8,000 significant pipeline incidents, resulting in more than 500 deaths, more than 2,300 injuries and nearly $7 billion in damages.
With figures such as that, it's obvious governmental action is needed.

Hundley after being named starting quarterback on Friday
Coach Mora addresses media after practice
Coach Mazzone talks quarterbacks on Day 8
The Bruin football team took the practice field on Saturday for Brett Hundley's first practice after being named the starter on Friday. Please note that Saturday's second practice time has been pushed back to 6:00 p.m. and that Sunday's start time will now be at 4:00 p.m. Continue to check the website for practice time changes / updates.
"We talked to the quarterbacks as a group yesterday," said coach Mora on Saturday. "They all handled it very, very well. Richard and Kevin both were disappointed, but immediately expressed their support for Brett."
"He has all the qualities we would like in a quarterback," continued Coach Mora. He noted that Hundley has tremendous leadership skills and that his teammates relate well to him. Coach indicated that the redshirt freshman has a rare confidence and that every day it has seemed to grow. He pointed out that Hundley has thrown the ball with a lot of confidence and accuracy and that his decision-making ability has impressed the staff. Coach reminded all the media that Brett was still a young, developing quarterback, who, as he gets more and more playing time, would develop into an outstanding quarterback at UCLA. He also has the ability to run and to keep a plays alive.
Starting quarterback Brett Hundley said he was just so happy when he was told he had won the job that he cried. He said it was because he realized how much work he had put into trying to win the job. "They were tears of joy," said the redshirt freshman from Arizona. Today at practice, Hundley noted that he did things the same. "I got the job, but must continue to get better each day and stay focused and humble," said Hundley. "I will do my best to lead this team into battle."
Hundley, who hails from Chandler, Ariz., earned UCLA Football's Coach Ed Kezirian "Coach K" team award for Academic and Athletic Balance during his 2011 redshirt season. A SuperPrep All-American at Chandler HS, he was rated the No. 3 quarterback nationally by scout.com and SuperPrep and earned a five-star ranking.
If you cannot make it out to San Bernardino to check out the Bruins, make plans to be on campus in Westwood on Saturday, August 18 for a Meet the Bruins Day in Drake Stadium from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Fans will be able to get autographs and photos of the players and coaches, food trucks will be on site and there will be a Kids Zone and more.
UCLA opens the 2012 football season on the road with a game against Rice on August 30 (6:30 p.m. CT/4:30 p.m. PT). The Bruins then return home to the Rose Bowl for three straight games --- Nebraska (Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m.), Houston (Sept. 15, 7:30 p.m.) and Oregon State (Sept. 22, time TBA). For ticket information call 310-UCLA-WIN.
Fans heading to Cal State San Bernardino (5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407) should plan on bringing their own chairs, as there are no bleachers around the practice fields. Parking ($5 daily charge) can be secured at the parking kiosk off the Coyote Drive entrance to the university or at the blue automated kiosks in the lot. Plenty of parking is available in lots (Lot G is closest to field) within a short walk of the practice site located on the east side of the campus. Shade is limited, so come prepared to deal with the heat and sun.

Dressing in a monochromatic manner can be chic, sophisticated and unexpected. Not many people think about pairing garments in the same hue, so why not lay your fashion heart on the line for the holiday of love.
This Valentine's Day play up the purples, pinks and reds seen in every store window. Wear an outfit in all pink, purple or red on your romantic date for two, or your singles' awareness party with your gal pals. Do this, and you will look effortlessly chic.
By wearing patterned or textured garments and accessories you can add interest to these monochromatic looks. Without interest, monochromatic looks will crash and burn. Boring will come to mind instead of brilliance!
Spice up your pink sheath with a dark-pink, patent leather belt and heels. Add drama to your everyday, red oxford by paring it with a two-toned, red lace mini, and oversized chandelier earrings in a similar shade. Turn up the heat on your purple floral shirt by adding deep-purple tights and a striped top in the same hue. The key with wearing pattern-on-pattern is to keep it in the same color family.
The looks listed here are just a starting point. Use your creative eye to create looks that speak to your own personal style and taste. Remember that pattern, texture, color and shine add interest to any outfit for every occasion.

For info about the Navy Sea Cadet Corps click here or see the link below
The SAR awards the ROTC Medal to foster the principle of the "citizen-soldier", exemplified by the Minutemen of Revolutionary War days. This award is presented by a Chapter, a State Society, or the National Society to ROTC or JROTC cadets who are selected for having a high degree of merit with respect to leadership qualities, military bearing and general excellence. The recipients are selected by the Commanding Officer of the ROTC or JROTC unit, who should be given full latitude in making the selection.
The SAR ROTC Medal is approved by the United States Army, the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the United States Air Force. Each service has notified its ROTC and JROTC units of this approval and has authorized presentation to its cadets or midshipmen. For information regarding support for the U.S. Navy Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) you can follow the link at the bottom of this page.
For ROTC or JROTC units with fewer than 500 cadets or midshipmen one medal will be awarded each year. For larger units, one medal may be presented for each 500 students enrolled in the unit. In cases where a school has more than one ROTC or JROTC unit, each unit is counted separately. It is desirable to have a medal and ribbon bar on display in a trophy case at each school where it is presented. This will serve as an incentive to the students and publicize the SAR ROTC program as well.
To view the awards click JROTC Medals / Ribbons
The ROTC medal is struck on a circular planchet. The obverse shows a Minuteman holding a rifle and standing next to a plow, with the Liberty Bell in the background. It is inscribed with the letters "ROTC". The reverse is inscribed "Awarded for Leadership, Soldierly Bearing and Excellence to _____________." The medal is suspended from a ribbon of the SAR Colors. A ribbon bar in the SAR colors is included and a certificate is available as well.
The Silver ROTC Medal is presented only to students in a college or university ROTC unit. No recipient may receive it more than once. No miniature medal is available. The medal was authorized in 1933.
The Bronze JROTC Medal was authorized in 1965, and is presented only to students in secondary school JROTC. No recipient may receive it more than once. No miniature medal is available.
In 1997, President General Carl K. Hoffmann, authorized the enhancement of the JROTC program. Each SAR chapter will now select an Outstanding JROTC Cadet and enter that cadet into their State Society's Outstanding JROTC Cadet program.
The winner of the State competition will be entered into the National Outstanding JROTC Recognition program. The winner of the national program will receive a special award at the SAR's National Congress.
The National SAR award is to be presented to the Outstanding Cadet in their next to last year of JROTC (a Third Year Cadet [11th grade] in a four year program). For a three year JROTC program, a Second Year Cadet may be selected.
Whenever possible, presentation will be made by a member of the SAR at the unit's Spring Awards program.
The enhanced JROTC program has several objectives:
1. To identify and recognize Outstanding JROTC Cadets at the Chapter, State Society, and National Society levels. The program has been designed to allow all candidates to be evaluated equally, regardless of the Military Service they represent.
2. To encourage SAR members to make a personal presentation of the JROTC medal to Outstanding JROTC student in the nation
3. To encourage SAR chapters to work with JROTC units to determine how best to encourage and recognize these outstanding student citizens and therefore support this exceptional national youth program.
Each cadet chosen to win the award at the JROTC unit level will receive the SAR JROTC (Bronze) Medal.
If there is a Chapter contest (because more than one unit participates in the chapter area) the Outstanding Cadet of the SAR chapter may receive a bronze medallion on a neck ribbon and a ribbon bar with a gold frame and a bronze star to wear on the ribbon bar. The local chapter may also provide a nominal monetary award. If only one unit enters the contest, that entry must go through the chapter for approval in order to advance to the State level contest.
The Outstanding Cadet of the SAR State Society may receive a silver medallion on a neck ribbon, a gold frame for the ribbon bar and a silver star for the ribbon bar. The state society may also provide a monetary award.
The Outstanding Cadet of the Nation will receive a gold medallion on a neck ribbon, a gold frame for the ribbon bar and a gold star for wear on the ribbon bar. As stated above, the National Society will provide a cash award of two thousand dollars ($2,000) and up to one thousand dollars in travel expense funds.
The medals with the suspension ribbon and colored star are discontinued as superfluous.
The 2nd place national award recipient will receive a cash award of $1,000.00 from the NSSAR.
The 3rd place national award recipient will receive a cash award of $500.00 from the NSSAR
For further information about the program in your area contact the SAR contact in your State's Society.
Effective June 15, 1998 the US Navy Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is no longer eligible to receive the SAR JROTC (Bronze) Medal. The NSCC is an outstanding program and should be supported by recognizing the Outstanding NSCC Cadet with the Bronze Good Citizenship Medal, which is shown below.
The SAR Bronze Good Citizenship Medal recognizes persons whose achievements are noteworthy in their school, community or state. This medal is awarded to both adults and minors.
This medal is authorized for presentation to the US Navy Sea Cadet Corps, to an Outstanding Cadet nominated by his/her Commanding Officer. The award is in recognition of the Cadet's Leadership, Military Bearing, and Excellence of Character, Scholarship, and Citizenship.
The medal is bronze, struck on a circular planchet and on the obverse is depicted a Minuteman holding a rifle, with a plow and the Liberty Bell in the background. It is inscribed, with the letters, "Good Citizenship Medal". The reverse is inscribed "Our inspiration is from the past, our duty is in the present, our hope is in the future." It is suspended from a ribbon of the SAR colors. A certificate of recognition accompanies the medal.

Selection criteria (primarily left up to the Senior Military Science Instructor) should include merit in patriotism, leadership, military bearing, scholarship and general excellence.
An application ( Nomination form with attachments) should be completed by the Senior Military Science Instructor and forwarded to the local SAR contact on all nominees. The Nomination form is available for download at the bottom of this page.
For the State contest each cadet must submit an original essay on the topic "How JROTC has prepared me to be a better citizen of the United States". The essay may be done on a computer, typewriter, or by hand (in black ink). This essay will also be used in the National contest. If there is a Chapter contest, Chapters may also require this essay.
You can find the Nomination Form here
At the beginning of the school year each Chapter should contact the Senior or District Instructor of the local JROTC unit(s). Throughout the year the chapter should remain in contact with the administrators of the school and the JROTC unit, providing support for other programs and discussing plans for this program. The chapter should have the school administration, along with the instructors of the JROTC unit, evaluate candidates based on the criteria listed below and select one nominee for each JROTC unit (battalion, squadron, etc.). If the chapter supports several JROTC units, it should run a local contest to select the best cadet, since only one cadet per chapter may advance to the state competition. The chapter contest must have only SAR members as judges, and all contests should be administered using the guidelines listed below.
All State Society Contests must be completed and the National Contest entry packet must be forwarded to the NSSAR Executive Director to be in his office No later than May 1 each year. As soon as the Outstanding Cadet in the Nation is selected the Chapter sponsoring that cadet will be contacted so that it can coordinate the Cadet's travel to the NSSAR Annual Congress.
The cadet will be flown to the NSSAR Congress to attend, receive his / her award, and be recognized by the National Society Sons of the American Revolution. The award will be the National JROTC Medallion and a check for $2,000.00.
An additional amount, not to exceed $1,000.00, of expense money will be provided to pay for the combined travel, taxi to and from the airport, hotel and related meals for both the Cadet and his / her chaperone. Expenses in excess of the $1,000.00 will be the responsibility of the Cadet. It is suggested that additional assistance might be made available from the sponsoring Chapter or Society - but it is not mandatory. The travel expenses related to the respective State Conventions will be at the discretion of the said State Societies.

Teens gather for annual Church School Convention
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH – The annual Church School Convention of the Daytona Beach District culminated with a grand picnic and its annual community service event.
For 2013, the community service event, "Soles for Souls," was a success. Spearhead by the Rev. Sandora Williams, Elder J.O. Williams and the Rev. Nathan Mugala, pastor of Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church in Daytona Beach, the delegates were able to provide about 100 bags filled with T-shirts and socks to recipients at the Star Center. Each bag encompassed between three and six T-shirts and three to six pairs of socks totaling more than 600 pairs of socks and T-shirts combined.
Allen Chapel, 580 George Engram Blvd. in Daytona Beach, was host to churches from Volusia, Lake and Marion counties, including churches from the Cocoa Beach and Melburne areas for a total of 26 churches in the district.
Each year the high school students complete a community service event. In 2011, they gave away roughly 150 new pairs of sneakers to the Star Center. In 2012, they distributed more than 150 backpacks filled with nonperishables.

Bio and Links
I was born in South Bend IN and raised in Elkhart IN, and moved to southwestern Illinois, near St Louis MO, after a four-year tour with the US Air Force when I graduated from high school. I have always been fascinated by cemeteries ever since I was a young child, especially small family cemeteries. In the last 30-plus years, I have delved into my family genealogy on my father's (Bjornstad) and mother's (Denson) side. My paternal grandfather, Kristian Bjornstad, immigrated from Norway in the early 1900s, eventually settling in eastern North Dakota. His oldest brother had an interest in the Bjornstad genealogy and he compiled the family record into a book and had it published in Oslo Norway in 1943, which traces the family origins to the first king of Norway. I have used it as a reference when submitting memorials for my father's ancestors on Find A Grave. On my mother's side, a distant cousin, Dr. Marion E. Denson of Columbia TN (now deceased) published a genealogy book in 1997 on the Denson families in America, tracing them back to the mid-1600s, when a William Denson came from England and settled in southern Virginia, near the present-day city of Norfolk. This book has been a great source of reference for my Find A Grave memorials pertaining to my Denson ancestors. Additionally, I want to give special thanks to Ronald C. Denson of Birmingham AL (now deceased) who also compiled a genealogy of my Denson ancestors which was very helpful.
I also want to give special thanks to my wife, Angela Bjornstad, for her help in formatting the photos that I have posted to Find A Grave.
I am acceptable to transferring memorials on Find A Grave to anyone who requests them and who is a direct descendant of the person whose memorial I have posted, unless I am also a direct descendant. If I have incorrectly stated any information for any memorial that I manage, please use the Edit tab feature and I will gladly make the necessary correction(s). Also, I do not object if anyone posts pictures to any memorials that I created and still manage.
I do not have the ability to instantly make any changes or corrections to the Famous memorials that I have posted. Only the Find A Grave administrators can do that. If you should find an error on any Famous memorial that is credited to me, please contact email@example.com and provide them with the required changes/corrections.

Bjornstad Family ties?
My name is Astrid Fry Hussey, Ph.D.. My father's mother was Alice Sigrid Bjornstad b. 1889 in MN. Her father was Julius Bjornstad born 1841 in Norway. Her brother was Brig General Alfred William "Wild Bill" Bjornstad. I wonder if you have ever been able to trace any connection between our Minnesota line of Bjornstads to your line? It is my understanding that the Bjornstad name was a "Farm Affiliation" name. Those with the name could be related because they all worked the same farm community. I would love to see the Bjornstad book to which you referred in your bio. Perhaps there would be some clues for me there. Cheers!

"Cap" Townsend
Thank you for the memorial for our Great Grandfather "Cap" Townsend. Your memorial page for our great-grandfather was our first experience with Find A Grave, we were so tickled to meet someone who actually knew him as a child. Thank you for sharing your memories, and for sparking our excitement for the Find A Grave cause. For over a year now, we have been updating and linking memorials to memorials of other family members. We have also been able to link orphaned infant graves memorials with their parents memorials. Thank you for being a wonderful caretaker, and for all your work with FindAGrave, with heartfelt gratitude and respect, Bobbi

General William Smith
Did those administration fools deny General Smith? I don't know what they have against military figures. Four of my military figures from last year which were originally famous were overturned to non-famous. I don't know why they have a military figure section if all they are looking for is Medal of Honor recipients.

AP-TN--Officer Shot,129
Former Nashville officer settles CCA lawsuit
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A former Metro Nashville police officer has settled his lawsuit over a prison escape that resulted in career-ending wounds to him.
Mark Chesnut had sued for-profit prison company Corrections Corporation of America, which operated the Greenville, Miss., prison that Joseph Jackson Jr. escaped from the day Chesnut was shot.
Chesnut was a sergeant with the department when he stopped a rental car carrying Jackson and his cousin -- Courtney Logan of Louisville, Ky. -- both of whom are serving prison sentences on attempted murder convictions.
Chesnut declined comment through his attorney, David Raybin, according to The Tennessean (http://bit.ly/qfRv4J).
The lawyer did not disclose the amount of the settlement Tuesday, but Chesnut had asked for $16.5 million in damages.
CCA spokesman Mike Machak said terms of the agreement are confidential.

Only 3 things to say: 1. Kendra CAN quit her day job; she's great in front of the camera. 2. All I ask is for ONE shoot without Peter groping the model. 3. I finally realized who Peter sounds like....Elmer Fudd!
|Dec 28, 2002
Lorelei is definitely a solid B+; love to see her again. She would have made A+ if she could have incompacitated Peter with a good kick! Would like to have seen more of Liz, but, it was nice to see her lend a hand. Peter, well he still reminds me of that anit-drug commercial "the frying pan and the egg" referring to a mind and a mind on drugs. In Peter's case, just leave out the frying pan!
|Dec 21, 2002
Hooray!!! Cowgirl to the rescue!!! At least she puts some feeling when she uses the cane and flogger, unlike some wimp we're forced to see too, too often! Cowgirl doesn't need to cop a feel every 15 seconds either. If Peter was home sick for this shoot, I'm so happy, and hope he gets sick much, much more often! Cowgirl brings back memories of how this site was and was expected to be with the new dungeon! Can't get enough of Cowgirl as bottom or Top!

Lowell Observatory : Michelin's recommendations
Astronomer Percival Lowell established this facility in 1894, 1mi west of downtown Flagstaff. Here in 1930, Clyde Tombaugh discovered the tiny outer planet (since stripped of its planet-status) Pluto by photographing sections of the night sky at six-day intervals and looking for movements in the minuscule dots of light. Stars don't change position; the tiny point of light that did was identified as a planet. Lowell's own 24in Clark refracting telescope is on display and in use during frequent nighttime sky-viewing sessions. Interactive exhibits focus on basic astronomy and space travel.

A mom who was told that her daughter had died found out that it had been a mistake by the medical examiner. After two "harrowing" days of grieving for her daughter, the mistake was clarified. "Yesterday was a whole whirlwind of emotions, until me and my sister saw her and screamed, 'it's not her'," said the 44-year-old mother after she went to the funeral home to discover that her daughter had not died and that the medical examiner had made a mistake, reported WHAS on March 21, 2014.
On Monday, when Lori Baker from Puyallup in Washington came home from her job as a store cashier, she was greeted by her husband with the words that everyone dreads. "I need you to sit down," he said as he told her that her 24-year-old daughter Samantha had been killed in a fatal accident.
Like any mother, Baker was in disbelief and wanted to see her 24-year-old daughter to see with her own eyes that she had lost her daughter, but the medical examiner informed her that she had to wait to see her dead daughter until she had been prepared for viewing in the funeral home because the body was a "bio-hazard."
When the grieving mom informed her daughter's friends on Facebook that the 24-year-old had been killed after being hit by a pickup truck while crossing a street in Spanaway, Wash., one of her daughter's friends replied that she had just talked to her daughter Samantha.
"I cussed her out," said Baker. "What kind of a sick joke are you trying to pull on me? I didn't believe her. Cops don't just come to the door and do that."
On Wednesday, however, just as Baker and her sister were getting ready to go to the funeral home, a chaplain from the Pierce County Medical Examiner's office came to her door telling her "I really hate to do this, but there has been a mix-up and your daughter is alive."
Of course, the mom wanted to see that her daughter had not died and that it was not a mistake again with her own eyes and went to the funeral home. "It was such a relief," she said, when the body was not her daughter's. "All morning I had been hyperventilating and thought I would end up having a heart attack," she said. "I didn't want to get my hopes up that it was not my kid, then walk through the door and there she is." Even though the medical examiner has taken responsibility for the mix-up saying that the body had been identified as 24-year-old Samantha based on a tattoo and no other identification, the sad part of the story remains that mother and daughter have been estranged since the girl was 16.

Return to Forever featuring Chick Corea: After the Cosmic Rain
After the Cosmic Rain
Return to Forever featuring Chick Corea
Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (Polydor 825 336-2)
Chick Corea (keyboards), Stanley Clarke (bass), Bill Conners (guitar), Lenny White (drums).
Composed by Stanley Clarke.
Recorded: New York, August 1973
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
The Return to Forever group that recorded Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy was Chick Corea's second edition of that unit. RTF's first incarnation had been a mostly acoustic ultra-hip Latin jazz ensemble. But, in an effort to play more electric music and connect with a larger audience, Corea pared the group down to him and Clarke, then added drummer Lenny White and guitarist Bill Conners. This decision was very much based on the tenants of Scientology (which Corea had, mostly unbeknownst at the time to the general public, embraced) that stressed communicating one's message to as many people as possible. Many of Corea's new song titles now related to the stories and concepts of Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
The music maintained a Latin undercarriage, but RTF was now playing in fusion's big leagues. Thirty some years out, "After the Cosmic Rain" is instantly recognizable as a Stanley Clarke composition. Its catchy hooks, soaring phrases and many theme changes would later become Clarke trademarks. A simple bass riff begins the tune. The other players enter en masse and climb up a ladder. The structure of the piece allows enough room for the talented musicians to take explorative solos and for Clarke to do so in an extended and jaw-dropping way. In places, Corea sounds much like his contemporary Jan Hammer. The interplay between Corea and Conners, who was a fine fusion guitarist, is especially pleasing. White's drumming is of a high-caliber. The tune ends as it began, flying out into space.
"After the Cosmic Rain" is very representative of Return to Forever's best work. But this lineup would be short-lived. Al Di Meola would replace Conners for the very next project, and the band's sound would change again.

Health & Pregnancy
Are You Getting Enough Iron?
In this article
Getting enough iron from food when you're pregnant can be difficult, even if you're carefully trying to add iron to your diet. This is especially true if you're a vegetarian or vegan because you don't eat iron-rich meats or poultry. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are a vegetarian so he or she can watch your iron and hemoglobin levels more carefully.
What to Eat -- or Not -- With Iron-Rich Foods
At the same time you eat foods that are high in iron, have them with foods that contain vitamin C, such as tomatoes and oranges. Vitamin C helps your body absorb nonheme iron better when you eat both at the same meal.
On the other hand, certain drinks and foods prevent your body from absorbing iron. These include coffee, tea, milk, whole grains, and dairy products. Try not to eat these foods at the same meal when you're eating foods high in iron. For example, instead of having coffee or tea with your breakfast cereal, have a glass of orange juice.
Do I Need Iron Supplements?
Taking an iron supplement can help ensure you get enough iron every day. In most cases, you will get enough iron in your prenatal vitamin since many types contain the recommended amount of iron. Your doctor will check your iron levels periodically depending on your test results and if you are a vegetarian.) If your iron level is low, you may need to take an extra iron supplement.
What Are the Side Effects of Iron Supplements?
You need at least 27 mg of iron, but try not to get more than 45 mg each day during your pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Be sure to take iron supplements exactly as your doctor recommends.
Iron supplements may cause nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea. Sometimes your body adjusts to the extra iron on its own in a few days. Drinking plenty of water and eating foods high in fiber may also help with constipation. But if you still have side effects, try taking the supplements with food or in two doses. Or ask your doctor if it's safe to take a stool softener.

Coming into Thursday night's WCHA quarterfinal game in St. Paul, MN, Colorado College had not had any success against North Dakota in recent memory. UND had won the past four meetings in the conference Final Five. But that all ended when a Peter Stoykewych shot from the top of the right circle hit a North Dakota defender and slid past goalie Clarke Saunders, giving the Tigers a 4-3 overtime win, and extending their season for at least one more night. The Tigers have now won three straight elimination games in this postseason. For North Dakota, the loss ended their attempt at winning the conference playoff championship for the fourth straight year.
The Stoykewych goal came at 4:52 of the extra session, and propelled the Tigers to Friday night's semifinal matchup against top-ranked Minnesota. The Tigers are now 17-18-5 on the season, and will need to win two more games to win the conference tournament, which they have never done.
A huge point in the game came about shy of eight minutes into the second period. With UND holding a 2-1 lead, CC senior Alexander Krushelnyski, who has scored many big goals in his Tiger career, got loose for a short-handed goal, beating Saunders with a backhand. It was the Tigers' eighth shorty of the year, much different from their production the past two seasons.
In the third, freshman Hunter Fejes put CC for the second time with a hard wrister that surprised Saunders. Drake Caggiula then tied the game with a goal off his own rebound, his second tally of the night, with 7:15 remaining. Joe Howe made a couple big saves down the stretch, setting the scene for the OT heroics. Howe was very good all night again, as he was last weekend against Denver.
The matchup with Minnesota will take place at 6pm MT time Saturday, and can be seen on ROOT Sports.
The other game Thursday saw Wisconsin dismantle Minnesota State 7-2. The Badgers will take on conference co-champ St. Cloud State on Friday afternoon

Combating Counterfeit Products Coming into Canada
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Bill aim to do?
The Combating Counterfeit Products Act aims to reduce trade in counterfeit goods sold to Canadian consumers and businesses by providing new enforcement tools.
Counterfeit products are harmful to Canadians and their families, businesses and our economy. They deceive consumers and decrease confidence in the marketplace. They are often of poor quality and are dangerous to the health and safety of Canadians. Finally, they disrupt markets, lead to lost tax revenue for the government and raise costs for legitimate Canadian businesses.
How will the Bill help reduce trade in counterfeit goods?
The Bill will reduce trade in counterfeit goods by providing new enforcement tools to strengthen Canada's existing enforcement regime, both at and within our border. It will also bolster our existing protections against commercial counterfeiting activities.
The best way to stop counterfeiting, which is detrimental to Canadian consumers and businesses, is to curtail the sale and distribution of commercial counterfeit goods in Canada.
Specifically, this Bill will:
- give border officers the authority to detain suspected commercial shipments and contact the rights holders;
- allow Canadian businesses to file a request for assistance, with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), in turn, enabling border officers to share information with rights holders regarding suspect shipments;
- provide new criminal offences for the commercial possession, manufacture or trafficking of counterfeit trademark goods;
- provide legitimate owners with new tools to protect their rights and take civil action against infringers;
- create new offences for trademark counterfeiting; and
- provide better tools to investigate commercial counterfeiting.
What new authorities will border officers have as a result of this Bill?
This Bill proposes changes to the Trade-marks Act and the Copyright Act to prohibit the import and export of counterfeit trademark goods. As part of these changes, the Bill would give border officers the legal authority and discretion to search for, examine and temporarily detain commercial shipments of suspected counterfeit goods at the border.
Why is it necessary to give border officers stronger powers to act on their own to stop goods at the border?
Currently, there is no legal authority for CBSA officers to proactively target, examine and detain commercial counterfeit goods at the border. This Bill provides new tools for CBSA officers to proactively stop harmful counterfeit goods before they enter Canada. Ultimately, it aims to balance between state enforcement and private civil action.
This regime will help businesses to better enforce their registered trademarks in Canada. Rights holders may file a "request for assistance" with the CBSA, in turn allowing the agency to share certain information that will help rights holders initiate civil actions against infringers.
How will rights holders benefit from these changes?
This Bill establishes a voluntary "request for assistance" system, which allows rights holders to file a request seeking the CBSA's assistance in temporarily detaining suspected counterfeit goods encountered at the border.
Additionally, the Bill would provide border officers with the legal authority to share certain customs information with rights holders regarding suspected counterfeit trademark goods they encountered thereby providing rights holders with the information required to take civil action.
Why is this Bill needed now?
The Harper Government has long been committed to combating counterfeiting due to the significant harm associated with counterfeit goods. There are potential health and safety risks with counterfeit goods made of inferior materials without quality controls. Essentially, counterfeit goods undermine consumer confidence in the marketplace. These goods disrupt Canadian markets, lead to lost tax revenues for the Government and increase costs for legitimate Canadian businesses. The resulting lost revenues for rights holders can lead to delays in creating innovative new products or services.
In recent years, evidence has suggested an upward trend in global trade in goods. Two House of Commons committees have published detailed reports confirming the growing threat posed by these goods – not only to the Canadian economy but also to health and safety. Furthermore, counterfeiting has become a priority for Canada's key trading partners and other G8 countries, many of which have taken steps to strengthen their respective intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement regimes.
In order to respond to long-standing concerns raised by domestic stakeholders (including major national business groups and consumers) and to bring Canada in line with international standards, Canada needs to take steps now to strengthen its own IPR enforcement regime.
Will this personally affect Canadians?
This Bill only affects those people that seek to bring counterfeit goods into Canada for commercial purposes.

It seems like a lifetime ago when I got a call off KC saying "WE GOT THE SLOT! Can you tell Lenny 'cause he's not answering his bleedin' phone." And in many ways it is a lifetime ago, especially given the bundle of babbies that have been produced in the interim.
Today FM announced today that KC will be leaving their lunchtime slot. The man himself is quoted as saying:
"I've being commuting from my home in Cork to Dublin every week for over three years now and being away from my two baby daughters and my fiancée Rachel so much, was getting far too difficult. I'm leaving my dream gig for my dream family, I think most people would do the same. Today FM has been the most incredible radio station to work for. Being on a daytime schedule with Ian Dempsey, Ray D'Arcy, Tony Fenton and Matt Cooper has being amazing. I'm returning to Cork to take up a new radio presenter and management role, and to be a professional Daddy."
KC joined Today FM back in 2010, to present his highly popular night-time show. He took over the competitive lunchtime slot in November 2012 and has spent the last 14 months entertaining 130,000 listeners - along with Lenny, Ann and Adelle. Over the last year, he has interviewed the likes of Nile Rodgers, The Kings of Leon, Muse, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and many more. He will be taking up a role with his former employer, Red FM, from April next.
KC, you're a gentleman, and the lunchtime bants will be missed hugely - but our loss is Cork's gain! All our love and best wishes to you, Fia, Robyn and the very sound soon-to-be Mrs Cunningham x.
Seeeeeeeewww.... on to the rumours. Much like last time, whispers are already reverberating regarding KC's replacement. Colm O'Sullivan, who currently hosts Today FM's The Mix Up (7pm-9pm), seems to be the name most people are mentioning. Louise Duffy, who's been hosting the morning slot (5am-7am), is also one of the front runners - Lord knows, she deserves a lie in. Bizarrely enough, there's also chatter of Will Leahy off 2FM moving over. THAT would be a travesty in my opinion, for obvious reasons. There are other rumblings that it may be time for a certain Dermot Whelan to move to National... And there's lot of folk saying "I don't care who takes over, as long as Ray Foley doesn't come back." Personally, I'd like to see Ann and Lenny take over the slot, but - like I said before - I'm a bit biased.
P.S. I feel compelled to explain the tardiness of this post; I was picking up the child from creche, and she's only just gone down for a nap there. Things took longer than usual 'cause I reversed into a pole (sorry Lenny).

Guest Post: Why we watch losers
Ed. Note: Evans Clinchy is a Bostonian and active member of the hoops blogosphere. He's covered the Celtics for five seasons, with his writing appearing on CelticsBlog, NESN, and SI (among other places). You can follow him, his thoughts, and his writing on Twitter. He wrote this piece while reflecting on the end of the Celtics' 2013-14 season.
Can I interrupt your enjoyable playoff experience to be a massive downer for a moment? Thanks.
At some point toward the end of one of the worst seasons in your team's history – precisely when depends on your patience level, but it's generally sometime between St. Patrick's Day and April Fools – you begin to lose focus on the actual basketball, fall into a bout of existential soul-searching and ask yourself why you still bother.
When you're watching the losses pile up and your team sink deeper into irrelevance, you have to hate yourself on some level just to keep showing up. Lose once, shame on the team; lose 50-plus times, shame on you for still being there. If you're still in the building, then undoubtedly at some point during those final weeks, you have to stop and wonder what compels you to torture yourself, witnessing defeat after defeat.
I covered about 37 Celtics games this season. To say the least, it was painful. After six glory years with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce on the floor together, this season's C's practiced a special form of sadism on the loyal fans who kept showing up. Walking into the TD Garden meant subjecting yourself to a whole lot of Rajon Rondo putting up "tree falls in the forest" triple-doubles, Brandon Bass blowing defensive assignments, Jared Sullinger missing ridiculous 3-point attempts and Jeff Green existing. There were certainly bright spots this season, but many of them were of the "Player X had a masterful game in a losing effort as the Celtics lost by 18 to Lottery Team Y" variety.
Ostensibly, there appeared to be little point to watching dozens of Celtics games this season, given how similar they all were. There are only so many times you can watch your team take a 12-point lead early, bleed it away in the third quarter, then execute terribly down the stretch and lose by six. This happened seemingly every single game. There also only so many times you can wander into the locker room postgame, hoping to uncover some nuggets of brilliance about why the team is struggling, only to be disappointed by cliches.
It all gets old. So it's only natural to ask yourself why. Why do you do it? Why not stay home and read a book or something?
I've thought about this question a lot the last few weeks, and it's not easy to produce a satisfactory answer, but I think I eventually managed to stumble into one. Here's what I did.
I thought back to six years ago, when Garnett had just arrived in Boston and the Celtics won a championship by destroying the Lakers in an unforgettable Game 6 at the Garden. I thought about Pierce raining jumpers on Kobe Bryant, the guys dumping Gatorade on Doc Rivers and Garnett declaring that "anything's possible!" I conjured up these memories, I thought about how much joy that championship brought to Boston, and I realized that winning a title is so gratifying that it's worth all of the misery.
Wait. No. Scratch that.
It's gratifying because of the misery.
This is why we watch sports. We watch because the reward redeems the risk. We pour countless hours of our time into years of games. Beautiful games, sloppy games; wins, losses; games we'll remember forever, games we'd love to erase from our brains "Eternal Sunshine"-style the moment after the final buzzer. We watch them all, and the cumulative effect of them all makes us better fans.
The more we watch, the more pointless and depressing the setbacks feel. But if you have perspective, you also know the converse. The victory, whenever it comes, will be even sweeter.
I've been thinking a lot about why that 2008 championship season mattered so much – even in Boston, where we're spoiled by victory parades. That '08 season was special because of all the pain that came before it.
KG had spent a decade slaving away in Minnesota, hardly even getting close to his first ring. Doc Rivers had been on the hottest hot seat in the league. Ray Allen had likewise never so much as sniffed title contention. Pierce had endured one of the rockiest periods in franchise history, including a 58-loss season the year before that he'd largely watched from the bench, nursing injuries.
When they all finally reached the top, it wasn't just a postseason triumph – it was the culmination of a lifetime's work. Those Celtics had invested everything into winning just that one ring. When they finally did it, it was worth all the heartbreak that came before it.
With these current Celtics? That one-year turnaround ain't happening. No way, no how. KG and Ray aren't walking through that door. But that's fine – it just means that whenever the recovery does happen, it will be even more impactful. Each loss that happens now only sweetens the pot for the eventual windfall. People who refer to losing as "futility" are getting it all wrong. It's an investment.
By extension, I think there's hope for hapless teams everywhere. It doesn't matter where you are. You might be pouting about a down season in Sacramento or Salt Lake; Milwaukee or Philly. Wherever you are, your losing counts for something. It'll make you a better winner someday.

I wouldn't get into a car.
I wouldn't give up my gun.
If you force me to chose between your life and a life of one of my family members. You will lose.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
the only rule is to make it home alive. If I'm staring down the barrels of several drawn guns, they can have the gun if it allows me go make it home ok with everyone i left home with. like clint once said, "man's got to know his limitations"
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Defuse the situation if at all possible, even if that means running away. But if you are left with no choice, fight with the fires of hell in your gut.

For me too many 'hard & fast' rules rattling around in my old noggin might keep me in a reverie of constantly trying to remember them and use up too much of my 'processor'. I tend to go with this:
God grant me the SITUATIONAL AWARENESS to detect any deadly threat before it becomes imminent; the ability and means to EVADE it whenever I can; and the MINDSET to destroy it when I must.

Never ever wet your finger before putting it in a light socket.........
Once your in the car the BG has control of you and he is trying to get you to a place where you will be isolated.
I think one rule we have in common that separates us from the anti-gun crowd is "Never Say Never".
Looking at some of the replies I quickly agreed with two of them and lo and behold they are 4 star members Thumper and retsupt99. Situational awareness is at the top of the list for me. As the 4 star members said, you just avoid and pay attention to the circumstances that will put you into an inconvenient situation. 68 years old and lived most of it in NY/NJ, NEVER had a need for anything approaching a firearm. Always a what if, but that is second-guessing something that should never have occurred in the first place, and just an argument for argument's sake
I have two boxers. They own the airspace OVER my house--if a bird flies by that they don't like, I know about it. Rule 1--when the boxers go ballistic, so do I. <g>
"What does Marcellus Wallace LOOK like?"
I am boycotting Chicago other than that my SA is up and I access every situation that is presented to me as it comes......you sometimes really need to think outside the box.
Never second guess myself, when it comes time to shoot.... SHOOT!! Anyone worth shooting is worth shooting again, and again.
My GLOCK goes BANG every time!
I have 1 rule. I NEVER run backwards naked into a door knob!!!
my third and fourth rule.
Have gun, will carry
If something is worth shooting, it is worth shooting twice, or three, or maybe even emptying the mag
