HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Madison County sheriff's deputies are searching the Flint River for clues in last month's homicides of six people along the Tennessee-Alabama state line.
WAFF-TV reports a crew from the television station saw investigators pull something from the water on Friday morning. Later in the day, the investigators were using long sticks and paddles to search the water.
Three women and a toddler were found dead at two homes in Fayetteville, Tenn., on Oct. 22. The following day, authorities found the bodies of Jeffrey Pope and Warren Vincent Crutcher at separate locations in Madison County.
Police have said Crutcher had former or current relationships with the three women and was an acquaintance of the man.
No one has been charged in the case.

Latest News Philippines: Teachers to DepEd: Implement anti-bullying law fairly – Journal.com.ph:
A group of teachers urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to fairly implement the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 or RA10627 to protect the bullied and the bully.
According to Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC), teachers and school officials will now have a clear legal definition of bullying as basis for procedure in handling bullying cases in school as well as mechanism in preventing it.
Benjo Basas, TDC national chairman, said anti-bullying is part of the Child Protection Policy which the DepEd adopted last year and with the enactment of the law, the DepEd can now improve its policy on bullying.
Basas cited a UNICEF study in 2009 which shows that most of the abuses that took place in schools are cases of bullying. He offered the assistance of his group in crafting the implementing rules of the law.
Earlier, the DepEd said the "Anti-Bullying Act of 2013" will apply not only to students who bully their fellow students but also to teachers and school officials who commit the same offense.

Oracle 10gR2, Win2003.
I know enough about RMAN to perform basic functions. I'm trying to learn more.
We have an RMAN backup process that is used to duplicate a database nightly. The backup is generated on a single disk. The script allocates 2 channels for that backup, both pointing to the same directory. It works fine, generating 2 backupsets (backupsets? I think. I'm a bit confused about terminology: a backup consists of one or more backupsets?). Anyway, the duplicate process picks up these backupsets and restores a copy of the database from them. I noticed today that it allocates 3 channels, but only two appear to be used. Is that because the backup process only used 2? Which brings me to the major point: given my configuration, is there any advantage to allocating more channels for backup and restore? This is an 80GB database, and the restores takes over 2 hours to complete which seems slow to me - I can do a hot backup in that amount of time, and I thought RMAN had performance advantages over simple scripted backups.
To summarize my questions:
- Does an RMAN backup consist of one or more backupsets?
- Can a restore operation only use as many channels as were used in the backup?
- Is there any advantage to increasing the number of channels for both given a backup to a single disk?

Congress Responsibility and Reciprocity ? Social Values for a Sustainable Economy
4 Nov 2011 - 5 Nov 2011Promoting cultural development and educational one, this Congress is being organized to stimulate the debates and publicize in the academic field the many social responsibility actions that are already performed in a serious way in Brazil. This meeting is meant to be an important incentive to the companies and entities located all over the world, so that they assume their social responsibility with strength and make investments on social projects. We believe that, today, social responsibility means more than an ethical commitment; it means also a commitment with sustainable development. The reciprocity of the different social actors is the debate that this Congress proposes.

Ryan O'Neal is reportedly not in Farrah Fawcett's will, Greg Lott is. Greg Lott? Greg Lott, Farrah Fawcett's former boyfriend and football star, is reportedly named in Farrah's will.
Now Lott is speaking out about Farrah and about Ryan O'Neal.
The British newspaper the Sunday Express asserts this weekend that Farrah left $96,000 to Lott.
Lott reportedly tells press:
"I am a beneficiary of her estate. I have been asked to maintain the confidentiality of the estate, which I must respect.
"This news that I am indeed in her will and Ryan is not raises some serious questions about why he prevented me from seeing the love of my life in her final months. Farrah meant the world to me and I know that I equally had a profound impact on her. I cannot understand how those around her chose to keep me from her."
No comment by O'Neal.

Feeling down? It seems like coffee might be just the answer to help beat your blues.
According to new research researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, a couple cups of joe can help lower the risks of suicide by over 50%. While coffee stimulates the body by adding all that caffeine, it also stimulates the central nervous system and boosts production of neurotransmitters in the brain. This, in turn, increases levels of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenalin which would have an effect on a person's depression, maybe leading to less suicides.
The authors of this study reviewed data from three large U.S. studies and found that the risk of suicide for adults who drank two to four cups of caffeinated coffee per day was about half that of those who drank decaffeinated coffee or very little or no coffee. While the study group might have also had other sources of caffeine, the main variable they had researched drank between two to four cups of coffee a day, compared to the other group which either had no or decaffeinated coffees.
"Unlike previous investigations, we were able to assess association of consumption of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages, and we identify caffeine as the most likely candidate of any putative protective effect of coffee," lead researcher Michel Lucas, research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH, said.

Disney Interactive, the video/digital media subsidiary of entertainment giant Walt Disney Inc., has announced its intention to lay off workers, according to a Los Angeles Times news story published February 4, 2014.
Disney Interactive has not fared well financially. Between 2008 and 2012, the division lost a total of $200 million and has shown only slight progress. There have already been some layoffs at Disney Interactive and even a plant closure last year, but it hasn't been enough to turn the division around.
On the other hand, Disney Interactive did manage to squeeze through a small profit for the quarter ending September, 2013. But management obviously feels this is too little, too late. The subsidiary has not kept up with expectations and needs some reorganization.
One positive development at Disney Interactive has been Disney Infinity, an action- adventure game. It has performed well, with more than 3 million copies sold. The game is available for PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 and has proven very popular with Disney fans.
No one at Disney has come forward to verify the layoffs at Disney Interactive, but it is all but certain, as the Wall Street Journal and other sources say that a few hundred workers could be let go as soon as this week.
Disney shares have been mixed following the news, moving lower earlier in the trading day then higher in the mid- afternoon.

Potomac has announced that tonight's game against Potomac has been postponed and will be made up tomorrow night with a doubleheader beginning at 6 p.m. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans are coming to town following the longest game in Carolina League history at 23 innings, a game in which they used seven pitchers, six for two or more innings.
The pic above was taken during the brief rain delay prior to yesterday's game.
14 Responses to "Potomac Game Tonight Postponed"
Of course — I finally have a free evening and concrete plans to make it to the Pfitz, and it the game is soggied-out. 🙁
This is what happens when you don't put the tarp on the field during a torrential downpour.
That's hilarious – Guess I'll catch a double-header tomorrow night, but what a waste of a beautiful evening.
How hard would it be to just honestly say the Visiting team has no pitchers so we're postponing.
That would reek of doing a favor to a league leading team (harumph, can't have that; Blame it on the team with the stadium problems, that's the answer).
I think we can surmise that the game was re-scheduled because Myrtle Beach's staff was gassed after last night; The fact that rain fell in Woodbridge over the last 24 hours just made for a probable excuse for the League.
Yep count me one of those who packed up my three children along with the help of my wife and went to the Pfitz tonight… At least I had solice in the fact that there were several other cars that were there as well.
Had a great dinner at Smokey Bones, but my daughter is upset she couldn't bounce in the bounce houses…. I looked at the field… It didn't look bad.
I hope someone in management is reading this post!
I keep thinking there should be a Bull Durham movie clip inserted here…. 🙂
That stadium is horrible for fans and players. What's the possibility to get better facilities for this team. It's convenient to have a team close to Washington, but attending games in this place is agony.
They could always move to RFK … or what's left of it … it might be better than what has been described here … otherwise it sounds like someone is going to have front money to build a new facility somewhere in northern Virginia.

Hi All
As an avid multi-copter enthusiast I need to ask one simple question .......
Why is it that the DJI NAZA and WOOKONG systems work 99% tuned 'straight out of the box' for most combinations of motors, ESC's, frames and combinations - but the APM project needs sooooo much tuning to achieve a similar result?
Am I being very naive here, or just plain practical??
Views: 31169
Hi Dale, you can't compare APM with the DJI products, two different "development philosophy".
DJI come from a military technology, have brought their expertise in the field of "consumer" minimizing parameterization, APM by a team of enthusiasts.
APM offers many advantages, the user savvy enough can configure your setup and under certain conditions it fly better than a product DJI, its Achilles heel is the speed of the processor (16 MHz only), with this speed is unthinkable to obtain a stability comparable to pure flight board that install processors 10 / 50 times more powerful.
But the advances in the V3 release that will come out shortly lead APM Copter able to compete with expensive commercial products, it lacks an easy interface in the Planner and the work would be complete imho.
With PX4 and VR Brain (the new powerful board) you can get the same performance of the DJI products, with a good tuning I have shown in my video that this is possible.
Hi Marco
Thanks for your original advice to post on diydrones.com.
I've learned more practical advice and answers to some seemingly obvious questions on this thread than I have trawling through the many forums of seemingly self-appointed experts for many months now.
Thanks everyone for all for your replies to my question(s) - keeping it simple and factual is a bonus - I'm sure it's also helping others to learn and understand some of the fundamental issues and hurdles faced by the APM project vs the commercial alternatives!
Keep up the postings everyone - knowledge from this thread is proving informative ...... and useful! I find broadcasting excessive knowledge of a subject can sometimes get in the way of what most of us really want to achieve - which is simply 'good reliable flying time'!
You are right about Naza and Wookong systems working great without need for tuning. They are impressive in position hold and altitude hold, and fly real nice.
But with latest versions of APM Copter firmware it is not necessary to do much tuning if you only want a good flyer. For my preferences I always lower stab P (3.8) and rate P (0,13) a little bit before first flight and it works without further tuning.
I did put my Phantom with Naza in position hold side by side with my TBS Discovery with Arducopter 3.0.0-rc5. I think they behave very similar. Arducopter parameters are default except lowered stab P and rate P. And Phantom has pretuned parameters from factory special for that model.
You can still see Phantom is more stable at position hold. But they are very similar, and APM may improve with tuning of PIDs. Both are great Flight Controllers. Which to choose depend on what you want to do with your multicopter!
yes but apm is not reliable like dji..there are bugs ;)
Are you sure it is less reliable ? Less reliable in witch conditions ?
I did flew version 3.0 release candidates during 20 hours without any crash on a hexa copter, testing all modes including acro with 90° banking, auto mission and auto landing, at speed as high as 24 m/s, ascension speed as high as 10 m/s, descend speed 16 m/s. This is quite good results for me.
I have another Hexa machine with a camera, 5.3 kg weight, flying arducopter since version 2.0 with an APM 1.4, never crashed. I did manufacture a big Octo, 9 Kg, APM 2.5, no crash. Only changed two PID parameters from defaults. I don't see the point with the tuning complexity myth. More a machine can be tuned very fastly in flight with a 3DR telemetry radio. This is for custom machines. For stock machines, default parameters are just working.
It's open source, there is an issue tracker, a Git repository, hardware price is low, you can contribute and help to find and solve bugs, or help to complete and rework Wiki pages for version 3.0 if you are comfortable with wikis.
As a human i like bugs and i have bugs myself. I like to find them and find solution to kill them, and discuss about that with the Ardupilot community. I did spent quite a lot of time testing v3.0, watching closely for safety issues and hardware problems detection, discussing and writing patches to solve a couple of them. I would not be able to do that with commercial projects and for me Arducopter is great for most tasks.
The Dev Team did work hard and the result will be for sure a 3.0 release with safety as a primary concern and a new first-class nav controller. The enhancements list is long for this version.
A non negligible amount of crashes are caused by hardware issues or user omissions. V3.0 will lock a percentage of those, forbidding arming or switch to auto mode. This will certainly rise the perceived Arducopter reliability.
Version 3.0 rc6 will certainly enter public availability through Mission Planner in a couple days for more generalized testing so that some small adjustments can be done before the final release for a smooth transition. When public 3.0 rc6 will be out, we'll certainly have new interesting DJI / Arducopter comparisons here :)
it wasn t a critical, i love my apm and i am very impressive for the price.
@titeuf007: mmmm where? :-)
In any system there are bugs, don't think that the DJI products are exempted.
The advantage of APM Copter is in being able to find them through all the logs, impossible with DJI Naza or WKM.
In case of crash is always possible to know whether the problem is, hardware or software, in the second case the bug is found and then fixed.
I "try" to coordinate the group of testers of ArduCopter about a year and I assure you that the problems are greatly decreased in this year, almost non-existent, some bugs on automatic were virtually all found and resolved, the user that can fly in Stabilize always brings home his quad whole.
When I joined the ArduCopter group remember that every day I was wondering if I could bring my quad intact at home, now I wonder if it crash for software bug.
My last crash was last year, for a big bug found and then fixed after this attempt.
The flights that I have with ArduCopter assets from that event are over 3000, without a single crash or fly-away.
I think "APM Copter V3" is a really milestone release, another world respect the previous version, surely there will still be some thing to fix but is unlikely to happen that someone in an emergency is not able to land the quad own safe.
all normal users like me see you hard work and we can only say you a big THANKS for this great project
Thanks but I don't have any merit, the whole team did! :P
I started with a DJI F550 Hex and a Naza + GPS. I could never get it to hold a course lock, it would always yaw left no matter how I tweaked the gps position. Every time I flew it, I was nervous because it wouldn't lock and I couldn't enjoy it. However, the altitude hold is pretty amazing, but eventually I started having issues because I fly on the coast in cold windy weather and it suffers from some similar barometer issues as APM.
As soon as I put in APM it flew like it was on rails, this was with 2.8.*.
On an F450 frame/motors APM flies great on default settings! Alt hold is still a little finicky.
However, my 3dr Y6 was pretty rock solid on with the settings provided by 3dr, even though I was using slightly faster motors.
NAZA is nice for basic beginner flying or basic aerial photography. APM is needed for more advanced configurations (don't think Naza supports y6 or many of the other odd frame types that APM does) Naza does not support dual pilot/cameraman gimbal control which APM does. Naza does not support telemtry and GCS control from android devices.
Wookong has more features than NAZA< but costs more than 3x what APM does...
I know this is an old post, but it almost appears as if the APM is over-correcting for the drift, and ending up having to correct again? Am I wrong?

I joined the faculty of St. Lawrence in the fall of 1996. I started on the path that led me to St. Lawrence at another small liberal arts college, Hamilton College. At Hamilton, I developed my love of learning as well as my interests in two fields—psychology and law—which I bring together in my teaching and research. I continued my education at the University of Maryland School of Law in the fall of 1984. While my law school colleagues were studying for the bar during the summer of 1987, I was preparing to move to Charlottesville, Virginia, to begin graduate studies in psychology. I earned my doctoral degree in Community Psychology from the University of Virginia in 1994, then taught at two of my alma maters—UVa and Hamilton—in visiting positions for the next three years.
Given my diverse educational background, my primary areas of scholarship and research are diverse as well. Recently, I have been involved in projects related to study abroad and academic achievement, higher education and well-being, crisis hotlines, judicial decision-making, and the prevention of high-risk alcohol use by college students. This year, I am beginning a new project focused on how well juries comprehend the instructions they are given.
One of my primary teaching responsibilities in the Psychology Department is the Community Psychology Seminar, for which students complete an 8-hour per week internship. Although internship sites vary from year to year based on the interests of the students, students typically intern with Head Start (a preschool for underprivileged children), NYSARC (New York State Association for Retarded Citizens), in-patient addiction treatment facilities, and the counseling offices of our local elementary and middle schools. My other primary teaching responsibility is Psychology and Law, an introduction to my sub-specialty in the field. Topics in that course include eyewitnesses, the insanity defense, criminality, and the death penalty. Students also play the role of jurors in a live trial simulation.
In addition to my responsibilities within the Psychology Department, I have been teaching within the First-Year Program at St. Lawrence from 1998 to 2011. I also had the honor of leading the program as the Associate Dean of the First Year from 2007-2011. All first-year students participate in the FYP, which involves a team-taught, interdisciplinary course and is the context for the development of first-year students' college-level communication skills and academic advising; also, all of the students in a particular FYP live together in the residence hall. The program continues in the spring with a research seminar, taught by a single professor about a specific topic, enrolling students from several different FYPs. In the FYP, I have taught about families, marriage, law, science, libraries, constitutional law, and some psychology, too. The FYP is one of the reasons I chose SLU as my academic home.
You are likely to find me back in my various flower gardens in the summer, because I am an avid gardener. Those gardens might be at our home here in Canton or at our camp on Trout Lake. I also love to cook and sing. Since my very first semester, I have been singing with the University Chorus, one of our music ensembles comprised of St. Lawrence students, staff and faculty and community members from Canton and the surrounding area. When not working, you are also likely to find me playing card and board games or watching the FoodNetwork with my husband, Grant Currie, who works in our Educational Technologies Department, and our son, Quin.

Leadership development is multi-layered and complicated. The flight of a butterfly is also complex, made up of a multitude of movements. What can we learn about entrepreneurship, sales, and running a company from a flitting creature that seems to be there mainly to amuse us on a warm day?
Here is the idea; it comes from chaos theory. Now, I bet I have your attention! Chaos, that rings true to the heart of every adventurous business person on the planet. The flapping of a butterfly's wings have been known to cause a slight change in atmospheric conditions, which through a chain of events may well result in major changes in the weather thousands of miles away. Think of a butterfly in India being the cause of a rain storm in Indiana. A weather system that moves just slightly one way or another could mean rain or continued drought. Blame it on the butterfly!
So, what does that have to do with leadership, with entrepreneurship? It has to do with systems thinking, and that is at the heart of what you do all day, every day. You may be the butterfly, or the wind, doesn't matter. Just think about the fact that nobody's behavior exists independently of his or her interpersonal relationships.
Just this little bit of information can change the way you relate to ...well, everyone. Think about your work team. It is not a collection of disconnected parts. It is a living organism that is unique and complex. Where work teams are concerned systems thinking beats slice and dice analytic thinking any day. Once you begin to ask yourself how your behavior is impacting those around you the inter-active word of the office begins to change.
You may have to take some time and think about what you want as an outcome; a rain shower, a drought, or a flood? The shake of your wings is just enough to get what you want.
That's what Kathy did.
She had a valued employee who was not yet ready to lead a team. The more she worked at getting this junior partner up to speed the more tension there was in their relationship. Once I explained the butterfly effect in a coaching session, the light bulb went on. "Okay, now I get it" she sighed in relief. "If I stop making so many impossible demands on her she may settle down and get some real work done. I'll have to do some redesign and get her out of the leadership level for the short term and let her practice with a less intense group."
Yup, she got it. By fluttering her wings too fast in the wind she was creating a strong storm. By letting up she was getting the environment she needed to get some work accomplished. Think about how even just a small change can be of vast importance as you move ahead this year to create the winning future you want.
Allow your employees to breath and let them grow their own wings. And don't forget to thank a butterfly!

Fisher MBA program moves up 20 places in two years in Financial Times global ranking
Elsie Jamin-Maguire (left) and Brad Nocco (center) observe a demonstration at OhioHealth Center for Medical Education and Innovation.
A new graduate student organization launched in the middle of the summer is springing into action during the Winter Quarter.
Innovation Fisher is the graduate student-led organization at Fisher devoted to innovation practice and providing students with the skills and experience needed to be successful as business leaders.
David Shaw, president of the group and a second-year MBA candidate, said: "Today's business world is more and more reliant on innovation and new ways of thinking. Members are exposed to real-world innovation centers and their day-to-day activities through site visits over the course of the year."
Innovation Fisher's inaugural event was a site visit to OhioHealth's Center for Medical Education and Innovation on Jan. 8. Twenty students listened to a presentation on OhioHealth's approach to promoting internal innovation before touring the experimentation and training labs at the Center's facility at Riverside Hospital in Columbus.

My Examiner columns came in like a lion in 2009 and have become a sleepy lamb. My radicalism, however, continues to radicalize by worsening events around me and the lies which dare explain those events. But the column - began with the Examiner over a year ago to discuss Long Beach, CA., issues, has lately flowed barely to a trickle.
My obsession - may I speak candidly? Yes, obsession. My obsession has been the same decline that may disturb my brethren in the Tea Party Movement. But it is an angst also shared by my brethren in the Democratic Party, which is barely televised, who were themselves hoodwinked into voting for the Goldman-Sachs character to continue the third term of George W. Bush, albeit in softer hues. It is shared by so-called Progressives, who were merely apologists for Obama but more or less share my aims in a just, democratic society. It is certainly the angst that lights the ires of my anarchist (-feminist, -communist, -syndicalist, -primitivist), Trotskyist, Marxist (Maoist, Leninist, Fidelista) comrades, who are not televised at all.
Our current government is old-school imperial politics brought brutally home: the only way the System will protect a former war criminal, like Bush II is to install a new criminal in his place, and this is Mr. Obama, Lover of Drones who do not Love Little Babies or Their Loving Mothers.
The coals so stoked, we in the opposition find ourselves with diametrically opposed solutions.
Predictably, like the Intolerant Puritans of history some of them call for a "return" to God, meaning a Christian, Homo-hating, public-services ending God.
Jesus has no analogue to these Bible-thumping religious revisionists and their vicious attack on the poor, civil liberties, women, lgbtq's, but Jesus is no more than a mascot to them.
Others of us stubbornly refuse to drink the Kool-Aid and refuse to give Obama a long "give-him-time" leash when we would never have stomached doing so for Bush II. We continue to believe a radical leftist shift must take place, and it will not be provided by Goldman-Sachs, the military industry, or private health-care corporations.
I shudder when I think of them over there watching our drones drop into their neighborhoods, being assaulted in my name, and how they must see me and us, having the luxury to ponder these ideas in safety, suffering only from writer's block, while I can still feed myself.
I shudder at my complicity and the bull's eye that places on me.
My articles with the Examiner never seemed to reach any more readers than my pamphlet, My Socialism, did when it was first published six years ago. I not only missed a growing number of readers but also more to my dilemma the catalyst that comes from a communal give and take, honing and perfecting one's radical agenda, and building some kind of momentum.
I was sending out my warrior cries into a proverbial Black Hole.
And so, in wanting to remain relevant agent of social change, my mind had to look elsewhere. The Examiner column suffers. But my soul continues to witness!
With a nod to Derrick Jensen, whose "Endgame [Vol 1]" I'm reading right now, I'd like to share a few premises that under gird where I am going while I am not writing an Examiner column.
1. The United States is not a democracy.
2. For the last two generations at least, the United States' main product has been War and the stuff and collateral damage of war - that is, weaponry on the one hand and killing on the other.
3. Our public schools have always been apprentice factories, first, to keep the young out of the shrinking, industrial labor market, second, to "graduate" them as servile workers to the system [see premise #2] - these servile workers can just as easily be graduate students and professors as they can blue-collar workers.
4. Our masters care as much for the health of the modern wage-slaving family as we did their African chattel slave forbears.
This war machine is not only in obvious places, like the drones Obama drops and murders civilians in a search for untried "terrorists," but also less obvious places like the private contractor industry and the security industry we see on the borders and at US airports, where our taxes go to pay for huge staffs of officers and agents, and cities upon cities of managers who literally rose from no where and do nothing, not to forget the massive dollars put into shoddy, expensive equipment.
And that is the point - not that anyone should really be doing anything or the machines perform at the caliber of their worth: No. The point of this mechanism is to keep the defense industry - war - thoroughly funded.
Whether Reagan's Star Wars would work or not is irrelevant, the point is to divert domestic resources to Lockheed Martin, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Northrup, Raytheon, General Dynamics, etc.
If there is any Welfare Queen pulling up in a limo to collect her checks, it is our defense industry.
And sacrificed in this devilish deal are our public schools, our community hospitals, universal, single-payer health care, infrastructure, mass transit to keep cars off the streets and lessen the depletion of finite fossil fuels and the pollution of our air and water.
By the way, while I am rambling: a word about "terrorists". The other day a favored presidential candidate in Brasil who used to be a Marxist resistance fighter reminded me of the West's history with so-called terrorists: Cheddi and Janet Jagan in Guyana, run out of office in the 50's by the British Queen for being Marxists only to return. Ghandi vilified then feted. Nelson Mandela, whose ANC party was forbidden to set foot on US soil because Reagan and Thatcher had declared them all terrorists while they supported apartheid South Africa. Yasser Arafat of the PLO.
Of course every African freedom fighter against colonialism was a terrorist until the West found it could fight no more and had to sit down with them as diplomats.
I promise you, as history is my witness, if the West can find a way to increase its quarterly profits by making a deal with Osama bin Laden, you will see him given a honorary knighthood by the same British Queen who gave one to Robert Mugabe, and a Congressional Medal from the US, and in the wake of Nobel Laureate Obama lowering that bar, he/she will probably get a Peace Prize to ice the cake.
Principally the collective we do not fight these domestic crimes against the people because of what we've been taught.
Education is a big part of this. Despite the phenomenon of the last generation to make "reforms" to education this is misleading. Remember, first, this reform was started by that right wing radical, Ronald Reagan, who should not be regarded in any case as an individual at all but rather a conglomeration of the ideology of the industrial feudal system, no better than a GE spokesman dutifully reading their script, citing their numbers, signing their bills. Recall he aimed to shut down the US Dept of Education.
Pedagogists call our system the Factory System. Most of us don't know what that means, but we have only to look at our own public school experience: how the desks were lined up in rows with the all-masterful teacher at the head, the bells signaling when to come and go, when to eat, when not to eat, no chewing gum, how we were ordered about even on our "free" time between classes, recesses, and lunch breaks.
This was raw preparation for us to punch in, shut up, submit to drug testing and background checks, and perform like trained dogs for our managers ... or suffer the punishment.
Most of our current arrangements are coerced, and they have been coerced for so long and made to seem normal by our servile parents and teachers that we don't see it. We don't even recognize that we have been moved into strategic hamlets - a classic war aim to control populations - by urbanization. Now, almost all of our needs must be bought or rented through state or state-sanctioned, private mechanisms. Our shelter, our food, our water: everything is bought.
Critical-thinking skills (CTS), lauded by right wing education reformists, is an anathema to the preservation of this system, which requires unquestioned conformity. CTS is not any more wanted of our school kids than it is in our work force or in the public square.
What the system wants - has always wanted - is obedience, not democratic control.
What the establishment has argued for as CTS is actually its polar opposite, a response to the perceived threat of late-1960's/1970's radicalism. They don't want us to examine the system at all.
This radicalism came from the communities, the schools who ceased to swallow the Official Myths of the US moral mission and began to see the bloody, anti-human policies of Western governments and the corporations which run them.
To right wing reformists, this radical critique is showing a lack of CTS.
This radicalism was marginalized as "unrealistic," but it was really deemed a threat, and it had to be doused. Hence the war on schools in particular, public services in general.
As servile cogs, we know daily our managers are a real threat to us, are derelict at worst, incompetent at best. We know we can run our workplaces much better, with much better ideas. But we do nothing to further this because of our training, usually enforced by our own parents/guardians who told us to "Obey our teachers".
The state is, as has been said for some time, a power center. Ours happens to be in power for a mercantile system that was perfectly fine buying and selling humans as slaves, starving millions to boost profit margins, throwing whole populations off the lands of their ancestors, or looting the pockets of the poor to enrich corporations that will go around the world for a cheaper slave to oppress.
In fact, the state still condones slavery for the benefit of its profiteers, and liberals continue to rationalize migrant, undocumented, non-unionized farm workers as necessary for US food production, a fact which should be quite disturbing and as revealing as our thirst for cheap, designer clothing from south Asian sweatshops.
How many slaves do you yourself own?
To preserve this system the state must make unthinkable [enter austerity measures], if not criminal [widening prison population], if not blasphemous [enter God], the need of public services, workers' rights, and the necessity to abolish poverty and accumulated wealth.
Our own interests must be made the enemy, our masters' interests our salvation. No wonder we are depressed.
In education the aim cannot yet be the total abolition of schools. But to free students from the instruction of [progressive] teachers the state intervenes by, first, mandating standards [like, teach the US Constitution], second, dictating curriculum [No Child Left Behind], and, lately, under the Drone Dropper himself: his "Race to the Top", mandate funding modalities, union busting, and teacher firings.
This is to produce compliant, ready-to-work industrial slaves who will work, shut up, or be locked up.
But we have always resisted this, and I had hoped my Examiner column would contribute to this resistance, open some minds, stir some hearts. I am a fellow traveller of socialism and anarchism, because they are rational arrangements.
Our current arrangement is not rational. Can a family run itself on capitalist principles, starving a child or two to increase "disposable income"? Then why would a community? Is locking down the border with more federal agents more valuable than a teacher or doctor? Then why do we tolerate this?
Herds of animals are rendered extinct as they fall prey to this war since they cannot fight back (but Nature does). Families and communities struggle more and more to survive a similar extinction, and often do not succeed.
You can see signs of this insurgent urge to resist throughout human history. The tension between our freedom to care for ourselves and each other and the master's goal to have us farm or weld or dig for the lowest fee, not care when our brothers and sisters are starved out of their lives, and convince us this arrangement is natural.
We've always known in our hearts it is not natural, and there are ample examples in human history that show this. As the rebels of the 17th century English republic demanded, they wanted neither Parliament, King, or Military to rule over them (so the ruling classes response was to bring back the monarchy as the one institution inaccessible to the people).
Ultimately, my Examiner column aside, we must lose faith in this system of Parliaments, kings, and militaries if we ever want a truly just society.

Classic game between the Lakers and Bulls. This game had it all. It was an uphill battle for the Bulls all game coming back from deficits of anywhere from 18 to 23 points multiple times. Everytime the Bulls made a run the Lakers answered. Jordan had a horrible 2nd half with only two field goals but Scottie Pippen (35 points) and Toni Kukoc (31 points) came through with big 2nd halves to lead the Bulls back and win the game. Dennis Rodman had his usual fireworks and Randy Brown came up with a classic dunk in OT.
Also when the game goes into overtime my videotape takes a turn for the worse and I did everything I could to make the picture as clear as possible with the tracking lol.

i carry the lcp or lc9-9mm and i play with the p95 9mm i really enjoy the p95 and its easy to hit with .
Sig P226 in 9mm are available as police trade in's
Here's mine Swiss Police Trade in
I bought it for $350 - it looked sad..
Sent it to CRC for a $79 slide job.
wonderfully accurate - great (police) history
don't rule out bryco (jennings) they are cheap and all your going to do is shoot it at the range
Sig Sauer SP2022
buying a 9mm to shoot for cheaper fun worth the money?
I bought a ruger p95 for $300. It is a good sized gun that shoots well and is fun at the range. Highly recommended.
If you go this route get the Phoenix 22A. Jennings and all the old Saturday night specials are POS. Just my .02 worth!
I bought a Springfield Armory XDm 5.25 comp pistol and I simply love it!
My favorite 9mm Fun gun is a surplus Star BM I bought a few years ago. 100% reliable and accurate. The best part is I only paid $189.00 for it.
Click here please,,,
Several months back I talked a friend into buying one of these guns,,,
Both of us were pleasantly surprised at the good quality and performance.
He paid $385 for his pistol.
Anyways, with the .22 LR upper he gets lots of inexpensive trigger time in,,,
The gun runs Federal Bulk Pack from Wal Mart very well.
It takes about 1-2 minutes to change it over to 9mm,,,
And he can shoot that centerfire configuration as well as I do my CZ-75B
The two guns are near identical in size and shape,,,
If you've ever held a CZ and liked it, you will like this EAA as well.
Anyways, I just thought I would pass this on for your consideration,,,
It like getting two guns for the price of one.
The only drawback is you only get one magazine for each cartridge.
SP2022. Great gun for around $400
I`ve had well over 250 guns and shot them all over the years and the #1 FOR ME is my HK USP 9mm full size....It`s 100% reliable...very accurate and the USP has the HK recoil reduction of about 30/40%...it shoots like a dream all day long...A little expensive but will last a lifetime...Jim
Can anyone specifically address the triggers of guns on this list? I was shooting my .22s yesterday, a Ruger MkII long target barrel and a S&W K-frame 6" barrel, and despite the longer sight radius on the Ruger, I seem to be very close to equally accurate with them. I suspect this is because the single-action trigger break on the Smith is nicer: very light, and no creep that I can detect (maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough:rolleyes:). This remined me that I'm pretty picky about triggers. I don't care about the DA pull on a SA/DA pistol, but creep in the SA is going to turn me off.
I was starting to lean toward a Taurus or Barretta 92 since I've seen a lot of positive comments about their accuracy, so comments on those would certainly be of interest. The Sig 2022 also is a contender.

2012: West Virginia Power
Most of the ballpark reviews focus on what used to be there, but to me, this looks like they did the best they could with what they had to work with, which is not uncommon with newer ballparks since they're often built with promises of urban renewal in neighborhoods that have seen better days.
Case in point: The luxury boxes are attached to the 1913 warehouse that serves as the park's signature look.
Here, you can see them more visibly, as well as how basic the seating area is.
Finally, the obligatory "seat shot."
One Response to "2012: West Virginia Power"
This looks like a terrific enviornment to watch a game.
A far, far cry from the N.Y. Penn games I used to take my kids in the 70's. And it's only 1 level higher.

so yeah. i said my piece on living with bipolar disorder as i experience it. and i realize now that there was no hesitation, no embarassment about what i was writing. after living with the shame and stigma of my diagnosis for years, it's very freeing to realize that i'm letting go of it.
perhaps it's because i no longer wish for it to dominate my life.
perhaps i've finally grown into myself.

Masahiro Sakurai, director of Super Smash Bros. 4, has shared new information concerning some of the changes impacting the characters of the upcoming Wii U and 3DS title. According to a report by NintendoWorldReport from Jan. 2, Sakurai has disclosed details on how he plans to balance the characters of Super Smash Bros. 4 and what type of changes have already been made.
Published in a recent Famitsu column, Sakurai revealed some of the balancing techniques he is applying to the characters found in Super Smash Bros. 4. To explain the type of changes players can expect to find in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, Sakurai decided to detail some of the power enhancements made to heavyweight character, Bowser.
According to Sakurai, Bowser will be stronger than ever in Super Smash Bros. 4. While Bowser has always had significant power in previous entries of the series, the changes made to Bowser in the Wii U and 3DS game will make him a deadly opponent as his ability to knock players out has been increased. Find Sakurai's full explanation below:
Now that Sunday's day off is past, I'm currently working on the character adjustment for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. At the moment, Bowser is very strong. He's really strong. Fans of Smash Bros. probably never saw him as too much of a strong character, but this time, his ability to knock others out is very strong!"
As we reported earlier this week, Sakurai is looking to create a perfect balance between the characters of the game and their abilities. Strong attacks will leave a character vulnerable to counter-attacks or they may recover at a slower pace. Find Sakurai's full statement below:
Rather than directly weakening an attack's advantageous parts, we're putting effort into keeping them strong, while adding other weaknesses to them. Like giving the attacks punishable openings, or weakening the character's mobility or recovery rate. We're making comprehensive adjustments to characters, even for parts that might seem completely irrelevant.
Super Smash Bros. 4 will be released on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in 2014. Sakurai previously stated that the game's development has reached the point of getting it out as soon as possible. Hopefully an official release date is announced at E3 2014 or sooner.

ZUNE vs everything else?
looking to replace my sandisk 4gb with a 30gb player. looking to spend under $200. i see some zunes on ebay and such that fit my specs. any reason i shouldn't go for it? i see amazon has only 3.5 stars, but the ones that lik eit REALLY like it.
|[Remove Advertisement]
The only negative I heard about the Zune is that the Marketplace software is atrocious. Other thanthat, from what I've heard it's a great player. Some people prefer the 30GB rather than the new 80GB because the EQ was dropped in the later model.
the new software was built from the ground up and microsoft removed common features such as auto playlists, batch ID Tag editing, no EQ, among other things.
it's tolerable if you're just using it to sync. even then people have reported problems with the software such as:
installation problems.
upon importing a music folder albums, artists and art work getting mixed up. just make sure your tags are correct before importing audio.
when syncing media people have reported doubles (or more) of certain songs.
when you delete media from your pc and/or media from your software collection (library) those will get deleted from the zune device, so you have to "connect as a guest" in the software.
for alot of people it's a headache. but note that those could be the minority and plenty have no problems at all. i didn't have any problems myself (mainly due to a small library) except the deleting things from my pc/software and those getting deleted from the zune. microsoft released a tool that allows you to connect as a guest which pretty much makes it manual sync. if you prefer automatic sync then you better have a large hard drive.
other than all that there's a cool hack that allows you to use your own image as the software background. you can also change the font colors with a little work. i'm typing up a guide to show how to do that.
i sometimes use the SW as my main media player because all i do is shuffle music, which it does fine BUT the SW is quite bloated and uses up alot of resources due to the Zune Marketplace running in the background. kind of like itunes with the itunes store running. if there was a way to disable the marketplace and if there was more video formats supported i would strictly use it as my main player. it's got the coolest layout i've seen in a player.
i'm very happy with my zune 30 and my only real complaint is battery life. i get about 8-10 hours of heavy use out of a single charge. i love looking at the album artwork when a song is playing so that eats up a bit of battery.
You have to admit that the podcasting functionality is great, especially since the Zune software (and the Zune itself) can play all the video formats an iPod can play, and then some, save iTunes-restricted files of course.
On top of that, the screen is better, and probably not just between the Zune 80 and iPod Classic; the Zunes 4 and 8 school the third-generation fat Nano. The screen is negligibly smaller, but judging from some good comparison shots I can discern that the Zune's screen just looks better. It seems to me like it probably has a better color range, as well as deeper blacks.
Oh, and about the Zune being better than everything else: CNET, which is notably iPod-biased, "tied" the Zune 80 and iPod Classic based on points, even though the Zune edged out the Classic in 4 out of 5 categories. How's that for a tie-breaker?
[size=1]Sennheiser EH350 Headphones, Sennheiser HD202 Headphones, Koss KSC75, JVC HA-FX34, Creative Zen Mozaic (16GB, Black)
The new Zune software appears to be optimized for Vista. I've got a PC with a minimally working Vista install, and the Zune app was pushing my video card. I had to go into settings and turn off the fancy video features to stabilize it. I haven't been able to install it on my XP Pro machine.
If you watch the sales you might find a Zune 80 for your a good price. Thinner and with a touch/click squircle that is neater than the 1st Zune's interface.
If you buy a new Zune 30, you have the option of keeping the older 1.x firmware and the older 1.x Software (based on Windows Media Player). With the Zune 80, you don't have that option.
Keep in mind that the Zune 30 with the new 2.x firmware does NOT support .mp4 podcasts, only wmv... if you download a mp4 podcast, the new software will re-encode it before syncing.
Keep a sharp eye out on Amazon as well... they change their prices regularly and you might be able to find a 30 for as low as $150. The Zune 80 is NOT worth $250 nor even $200, IMO. It is way too closed and way too proprietary for those prices.
Zune verses others?
I received a zune 80gb for Christmas and spent a whole month trying to use it. I ended up taking it back and getting my money back. I had to keep un-installing and re-installing the software. The only thing I could use was the radio! I couldn't load my own music onto the zune. It doesn't recognize Windows media player. Every time I put a cd onto my pc, the zune software would open up, even when my zune wasn't hooked to my pc. You have to subscribe to zune marketplace for your music. When I would load podcasts onto my zune, they would get erased when I didn't want them erased. They still have a lot of problems with the zune 80gb. The software is really hard to figure out. Go to zune.net and see all of the problems people are having with it. I am now comparing other mp3 players to see which is best for me. As of now, the zune is out!!
Yeah, as with everything Microsoft puts their hands on, the Zune is completely closed. Zune Marketplace and the Ecosystem can be good and all, but I ultimately prefer freedom of choice over tight integration or extreme ease of use (as if opening a thumb drive-like device and throwing audio files onto it wasn't easy). And I'm happy to see that some DAPs released recently can connect as UMS devices when no MTP driver or MTP-compliant OS is running.

OK, here is my Zune story.
I started out with a black Zune 30 a few months after the launch, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed it for a very long time until, for some reason, the software just stopped working on my computer. It was a problem that they had never seen before (and were unable to fix) so I just ended up ebaying it, and I waited for the Zune 80. I got it off Zune Originals, and it has worked without a hitch since. No problems syncing (with a library of over 4000 songs), great lazer engraved background, I love the screen, and everyone who I show is impressed. I heartily recommend the Zune--just download the software beforehand and see how it runs, and you should be fine.
Stay with flash based devices!!! (Sansa, Nano, iRiver) as the larger devices tend to have more problems.
Never had a problem with my Zune 80 or the software. The software runs fine on my computer and I have never had it crash. I do wish I could just drag and drop files onto the Zune though. That would be my only complaint.
I never really owned anything besides a Zune 30 and a Zune 80. I have owned the 3rd Gen iPod Nano, but I didn't like the small size and space.
The Zune just works and I really only need it for two things.
It plays my music (via radio or own collection) and manages my podcasts.
Videos are decent too and I don't mind the software.
Video podcasts REALLY work great on the Zune 80. It made to handle them like a dream.

Mp3 Player Recommendation Guidelines
I like the Zune software better than itunes. I have a few basic genres on the left, I select one and then see the artists in the middle with each of their ablums, I select and album and then see the tracks.
I wish it was more customizable like Meedio but there is a trade off between simple ease of use and custom. I like the way Zune manages things for the most part.
I really like the Zune Pass. I search for the new Cold Play album, I can see an AMG review, I drag and drop the album cover to my ZUNE icon and I'm done.
I purchased the ZUNE & ZUNE PASS for use in the car with my FORD/MS SYNC. I plug ZUNE into my USB connection in the center console and then say "Play playlist August" or "Play Artist Cold Play" etc and I have great sound (relative to CD player in car). I control the display, next track and volume with the car stereo.
I manually SYNC by dragging and dropping or deleting tracks off the ZUNE.
Does Sync works well with the Zune ?
Can you post any photos of it working with your Zune ?
that level of car integration is something I havent seen before.
SYNC is why I purchased a ZUNE. I wanted subscription music in the car.
I have my ZUNE with ZUNE PASS in my center console connected with USB. My Ford Fusion with SYNC has Line-in, A/C, and USB connections in the center console. With USB I get power and data to my car stereo.
I hit a button on my steering wheel and use voice commands to play:
Play, artist, U2 --OR
Play, album, Joshua Tree --OR
Play, With or without you -- OR
Play, playlist, drive mix
I see tag info such as ARIST, ALUBM, SONG on my radio display. I push a button to sequence from song name to artist on the display.
I can hit a button on my steering wheel or car stereo to skip to the next song.
The manual says I can organize my music by folders. If I do it properly I can hit the FOLDER button to skip folders (i.e. artists or albums) and the track buttong to skip tracks. This way it would be like a fast & high capacity CD changer. My current dragging and dropping of ZUNE PASS songs to ZUNE doesn't seem to be in the correct folder structure because I can only change songs by voice or next track. The folder button is not responding. On my mp3 CD with folders it worked perfect.
SYNC works with iPod, ZUNE and many other portables. Syncmyride.com has a list of compatible players.
ZUNE PASS works with USB connection. My p2 with Rhapsody did not. I had to use LINE IN/AUX cable. The SYNC side didn't have the p2 listed as "plays protected content" where other players were listed as such.
LINE IN connection requires using the ZUNE/iPod/P2 for song selection, play, skip, etc. On sunny days it's hard to see the screen and it's more of a road distraction. It also didn't seem to sound as good and certainly required turning up the volume a lot more.
I have also gotten BLUE TOOTH Audio to work on my cell phone and P2. I can send a playlist and hit skip track on the car stereo.
