"Oh that really narrows it down," she replied.
"Well, what kind of smell do you like on a man," I said with a smirk on my face.
She looked up at me blushed a little..."Well on the WIBW-man I'm sure anything would go."

By Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public AffairsFebruary 27, 2012
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2012) -- The 54th annual running of the Daytona 500 has been postponed by rain for the second time in as many days and is now scheduled to start at 7:02 p.m. tonight.
"We hope to have "lady and gentlemen, start your engines," at 7:02 and then warm up and go to green flag," NASCAR President Mike Helton said this morning at Daytona International Speedway. "We believe this is a reasonable expectation, and we also believe in a modern world with the technology that we have to interpret weather, forecast it and try to stay on top of it within a reasonable amount of time."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is set to start fifth in the No. 88 Diet Mountain Dew/National Guard Chevrolet and Ryan Newman is 18th on the starting grid in the No. 39 U.S. Army/Quicken Loans Chevy.
The race originally was scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Sunday, but rain throughout the day forced NASCAR officials to postpone the start of the race until noon today. With an 80 percent chance of rain forecast for today, and following a morning-long shower, the start of "The Great American Race" was set back again.
"One of the things that was very important by announcing it at this time, we were able to communicate with our fans," said Joie Chitwood III, president of Daytona International Speedway. "The last thing we wanted to do was have our fans wait through another long day of rain delays and jet-dryer activity, so we felt like this gives them some clarity so they can come up with their plans. Hopefully that means stay at home, stay at their hotel, rest, whatever it is they need to do, and they can come out and enjoy the event this evening."
If the race starts tonight, it will be the first Daytona 500 televised in prime time. FOX Sports will provide live coverage even if the start is delayed until later in the evening.
The option of running the race on Tuesday also exists.
"Tuesday is an option," Helton said. "We're focused on today and this afternoon right now, but just so everyone knows, Tuesday is an option before we'd have to reconsider packing up and leaving."
Although running only half a race is necessary to consider the event official, NASCAR officials hope drivers can complete the 500 miles.
"It is a function of the entirety of the event, essentially not started yet," Helton said. "Our effort is to run the entire 500 miles, and that's the decision that we'd make initially that includes the entire 500 mile distance. And the flexibility throughout yesterday still exists today.
"We're targeting 7:00 because we feel like it's realistic. If it takes a little bit longer to get ready to go, I think everybody is willing to do that to accomplish the conclusion of the Daytona 500 within a reasonable amount of time. So 7:00 is not a drop-dead critical moment. It's just the time that we felt like it gave us our best shot right now. But we could go a little bit later if it's necessary."
"From NASCAR's perspective, we try to make the decision that's good for the entire industry, but certainly we would have liked for the Daytona 500 to run on schedule yesterday with a bright, sunny day. But it didn't quite happen that way. So now we're just trying to get it done as correctly as we can."

I am not competent to critique Mark Sargent's analysis of our current financial crisis ("The Blame Game," November 7 [1]), but I wish to take exception to his cavalier dismissal of the moral dimension of the problem. The blame game and finger pointing may not help to solve the crisis, but a concern for social justice and the common good does require transparency and accountability. To dismiss this concern as mere moralizing is to erase a large part of the picture.
Paul Krugman (New York Times, November 11) treats the moral gravity of the crisis far more seriously when he reminds us that the conservative ideology that promotes the gospel of greed did in fact help to create the current financial crisis. His quote from FDR's second inaugural speech is right on target: "We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics."
On a final note, Sargent adds insult to injury by propounding a moral equivalency between the behavior of the little guy on Main Street and that of the tycoons on Wall Street. I wonder which one has to worry about losing his medical coverage or going to bed hungry.

Antibody therapy reduced risk of new attacks by up to 68% compared with steroids.[© falkjohann - Fotolia.com]
Novartis reported positive data from two Phase III studies evaluating its fully human monoclonal antibody canakinumab (ACZ885) in the treatment of severe gouty arthritis. The combined data showed that in comparison with treatment using the injectable steroid triamcinolone acetonide (TA), therapy using subcutaneously injected canakinumab provided better pain relief and reduced the risk of new attacks by up to 68%.
Regulatory filings for the use of ACZ885 in gouty arthritis were filed in the EU in 2010, and in the U.S. earlier in 2011. ACZ885 is already approved in over 45 countries including the EU, U.S., and Switzerland, under the brand name Ilaris®, as a treatment for the inflammatory disorder cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, in adults and children. The antibody is separately being investigated in other inflammatory disorders including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Sales of Ilaris for the CAPS indication were $11 million in the first quarter of 2011.
The two reported 12-week Phase III gouty arthritis trials involved a total of over 450 affected patients for whom standard anti-inflammatory treatments, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or colchicine were inadequate or inappropriate. The primary endpoints were pain intensity at 72 hours post-dose, and time to first new gouty attack. Pain intensity scores were measured according to the Visual Analog Scale.
In one of the studies patients treated using the IL-1beta inhibitor canakinumab demonstrated significantly lower mean pain scores from baseline compared with those receiving TA. Pain intensity at 72 hours was 29.1 mm for canakinumab-treated patients, and 39.5 mm for the TA-treated cohort. The equivalent 72-hour pain scores in the second study were similarly significant, at 22.1 mm for the canakinumab group, and 31.9 m for the TA group.
In the first study, 40 TA-treated patients experienced a new gouty arthritis attack, compared with only 21 patients in the canakinumab cohort. 42 TA-treated patients in the second study experienced a new attack, compared with just 15 patients in the canakinumab group.
"Scientists only recently learned that the root cause of the pain in gouty arthritis is IL-1beta," comments Professor Alexander So, one of the Phase III studies' lead investigators, at the department of rheumatology, Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois. "Through specifically targeting IL-1beta these studies show ACZ885 can effectively treat painful attacks while extending the time to new attacks."

"Yoldia profundorum, sp. n. (Plate, figs. 18, 18a, 18b).
Y. testa parva, tumida, nitida, lævi, inæquilaterali, periostraco plumbeo-olivaceo contecta, anticé rotundata, posticé paullulum producto, umbonibus erosis, approximatis, haud prominulis, ligamento obscuro, lineari, cardinibus utriusque valvæ decem denticulis utrinque præditis, pagina interna nitida, albo-lactea, sinu palliali parvo.

Hab. Deposit No. 38, dredged March 18, 1904, lat. 71° 22' S., long. 16° 34' W., 1410 fathoms. Station 417.
A small, tumid, smoothish, slightly inequilateral Yoldia, the anterior side rounded, the posterior somewhat produced, to which Y. (Sarepta) abyssicola, Smith*, from Station 246, Challenger Expedition, Mid North Pacific, at 2050 fathoms, and also Station 281, Mid South Pacific, at 2385 fathoms, seems somewhat allied. That species, however, appears more distinctly abbreviate posteriorly, and higher in proportion to its width. Y. ecaudata, Pelseneer,† may likewise be compared, a species which is closely akin to Y. abyssicola. This was obtained during the voyage of the Belgica in the Antarctic region, at a depth of 400-500 metres. Again, Y. Valettei, Lamy, from the South Orkneys, where an example was found in the stomach of a penguin, is much of the same outward form, but less than half the dimensions (2.2 × 1.65 × 1.5 mm.), and the teeth are only six in number on either side. The epidermis is likewise named as "flava" in contradistinction to "plumbea" or "olivacea."

Where we might disagree is how much Johnson's wins over 156 pound Langford, a very in-experienced Jeanette, or a teenaged and green McVey really mean. Jeanette despite sporting a record below, at, or slightly above .500 was nearly even with Johnson when the two mixed it.
Then he says Joe Louis never faced many black contenders, and Ali whips Jeffries.
I dont agree Johnson was overated ,I think he is the second best heavyweight of all time.The only fight I can see a case for Johnson being lucky in is perhaps the Jim Johnson fight,Ive seen the fight described as scheduled for ten and twenty rounds so there is some confusion there.
A prime Johnson beats Sullivan ,Corbett,Fitz,Jeffries,Hart,Langford Jeanette ,Mcvey,Smith or anyone else before Dempseys reign.
Ithink Jack whips Dempsey,Marciano,Tunney,Liston and Holmes,Tyson ,Lewis,but loses to Ali.
Ive held the view that Jack Johnson was the greatest Heavywieght of all time right up until I watched Ali ko Foreman ,on closed circuit in Leicester Square London,then I changed to Ali as my number 1.
Mendoza we are further apart than ever,Ive agreed that Johnson should have fought the top black challengers of his reign,so should Louis have ,Holmes my number 5 heavweight should have fought Page Thomas ,Witherspoon and Williams again,Tunney should have fought Sharkey but the Gob drawing with Heeney got him off that one ,Tunney could have fought Godfrey but chose not to,Schmeling actually turned down a fight with Champ Baer,you can go on and on.You arent coming up with anything NEW!

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Room Darkening Blinds"
By I love blinds from Houston, TX
These are FANTASTIC!! I did not install myself, so I can't say how hard they were to install, but they do the job that I intended which is to keep the hot evening sun out of the room. Also, gives more space in the room than traditional curtains. I've recommended to all my friends with sliding glass doors--these are simply great!View this product

At the annual owners meeting last week in Palm Beach, Fla., NFL owners made a mistake. They didn't expand offseason rosters beyond 80 players. Worse, they didn't even really consider the move.
Several proposals were presented. The
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted rosters expanded to a 90-player maximum. The league's management council recommended an 86-player limit. But owners said no to both ideas. Concerned about the tight profit margin created by a 2006 collective bargaining extension that favors the players, owners decided 80 players in training camp is enough.
But 80 isn't enough.
Having at least 86 players in training camp before the cuts down to the 53-man regular-season limit (which does not include the eight-man practice squads teams maintain) would help teams better prepare for inevitable injuries.
"That's the only thing I've really been interested in -- how many guys we are going to have to go to training camp," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said.
"When you practice twice a day, what kind of practices are you going to have? You have four or five quarterbacks, but they aren't going to get hit. You have three or four kickers, and they aren't going to want to get hit. You'll have seven or eight guys who are unable to practice because of injuries, and you'll have six or seven guys on once-a-day status. Now, you're talking about 53 guys out there twice a day with a 115-degree heat index."
The 80-man roster is an issue because the league folded NFL Europa this past summer. Teams were losing close to $1 million a year each on a development league that wasn't developing many NFL players. The league's demise was long overdue.
However, coaches and general managers liked NFL Europa because of the roster exemptions given to players they allocated to the league. With those exemptions, teams could bring extra players to camp. Now, they don't have those roster exemptions.
To go cold turkey is short-sighted and wrong.
Under the 80-man roster formula, the numbers don't work. If you include the number of draft choices assigned to teams, there are 2,388 players in the league. Currently, only five teams have room enough on the 80-man roster to bring in more than 10 undrafted players, and four teams have 80 or more players on their rosters. Including draft choices, the Denver Broncos already are at 88.
It also makes the cut down to 75 players a silly idea. Coaches will be scrambling in the final week of the preseason to find enough healthy players. More first- and second-string players will be at risk of injuries.
The cost of bringing six more players to camp isn't much. During the preseason, rookies make only $1,000 a week. That cost of training those rookies isn't as much as the cost of making injury settlements to veterans or carrying players on the roster who get injured in camp.
The NFL is dismissing development by not bringing another 192 players to camp. Last season, 348 players finished the season on the injured reserve list. The 53-man rosters eat up 1,696 spots, and the eight-man practice squads eat up another 256 jobs.
In other words, the NFL needed 2,300 players to get through the 2007 season. It is bringing 2,560 to camp. That's how thin the replacement pool will be. Teams could use the extra players and prepare them for practice squads in case of injuries.
The effect this season could be huge. Any team losing a starter to injury will have virtually no hope of finding a replacement. The quality of the practice squads isn't going to be as good. Training camps might have to have less contact, making them less productive.
"I don't think you are going to do training camps like you did five or 10 years ago," Gruden said. "That's because fewer players are going to have more reps, and other players are going to have to take up the slack."
The lack of foresight in making this decision also does not make sense. Owners probably are going to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement in November. Some owners are talking as if they don't need a salary cap (another dumb idea). But let's consider the notion that the owners can make more profits in a non-capped league.
By not expanding the rosters by six players each and developing the young prospects, the owners are costing themselves lots of money. Those six extra players for each team won't reach free agency until 2014 (it will take six full seasons to become a free agent if the league goes uncapped), and the NFL will be losing 192 players it could have nurtured.
To find replacements, teams will have to look to the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League -- or, they'll have to sign players who haven't been in a training camp. The NFL needs to find some development system for the players who are on the streets during the fall. Injuries happen, and it would help to have a regular-season camp of players being coached by NFL professionals and getting ready for the call to a roster.
Owners didn't think through these equations.

What an emotional roller coaster this past year must have been for Guillermo del Toro. He left The Hobbit in June 2010, and not too long after settled into a long, long in-development passion project, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. Things seemed to be going great for a while, until that, too, fell through. Del Toro finally set his sights on Pacific Rim, a sci-fi action film featuring towering monsters, which Warner Bros. has now set for a July 12, 2013, release.
That said, del Toro still intends to scale those Mountains, as he revealed in a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times. "I'm not giving up," he said. "Mountains of Madness has been with me for 13, 14 years and I really don't want to give up on it … the way I plan to do it is a very peculiar take, and I think if I don't stick with it the version I would like to see would never get made."
Universal still apparently wants to make the movie happen and del Toro believes he can nab the asked-for PG-13 rating — which was the problem in the first place — since his script is free of big offenders like curse words and nudity. The plan is to take another crack after the sun sets on Pacific Rim, so here's hoping.
No, del Toro, I've heard your Mountains script wasn't that good, so re-read the story, re-work it so it's not JUST a thrillfest and give it more philosophical terror.
The way he royally screwed up Hellboy 2, a movie that should have been a fun, and exciting film into a boring, stupid, maudlin, and repetetive piece of garbage it might be a good thing that he's not doing the Hobbit.
In the past month is seems like a whole bunch of Del Toro hatin' folks have sprung up from outta nowhere. Did he piss in all y'all's cornflakes?
He would have been great on the Hobbit. His Hellboy movies werent his best work but i always felt he was restrained by outside forces–the higher ups, number crunching.

When trying to open Internet Explorer 8 under a different user account, I get the following error:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
I found this post which describes resetting IE settings, but this doesn't help. Also this issue does not occur under my own user account credentials.
This started occurring shortly after installing Windows 7 service pack 1.
Is there a way that I could apply whatever settings are applicable to my own user account onto the other account, e.g. some registry setting or group policy setting specific to certificates? My own user account is a regular user, and both are members of local Users group for my machine.

And we all had a great update chat, accompanied by Uncle Dickie's Marathoner's Real-Man Rolled Oats and Fruit Smoothie, along with some stuff from Panera (to keep BATS Den Mama, Motoko, happy because she's not man enough to get into the Real-Man Oats).
By the way, any other BATS alum visiting or living in Kzoo, we'd love to have you over some oats, a smoothie, and an update to keep that social glue in tact.

Midwestern Behavior Analysis Job Fair, Spring 2015

Midwestern Behavior Analysis Job Fair Bilbo's Pizza @ Behaviorlandia
So as a little preliminary kick off for the Job Fair, we had an intimate pizza party for early arriving recruiters and graduating students who will be ready for the behavior analysis work force in a few months. The whole thing was a major high for me. Most of the recruiters were BATS alumni; so this was a bit of an alumni reunion. And most of those who weren't alumni were employers of alumni. And all of those who were neither of the above eagerly hope to soon be employers of BATS alumni. The enthusiasm and high praise the recruiters have for our graduates really, really, really makes Uncle Dickie feel good. Like, yes, we are doing it at least semi-right.
And thank for to the BATS Systems Managers, Katie M (aka Mahaffy) & Little Katie M (aka Jenny Petree) for orchestrating this and the whole Job Fair.

So wouldn't it be wonderful, if he and Motoko could rent her for a few weeks! But inexplicably her mama, Yaeko, and her grandparents, Haruko and Yukio, weren't as up for it as Uncle Dickie had so innocently anticipated. Incidentally, Isabelle has the Canadian pre-school record for eye contact. This morning, she just won the North America award! I've never seen anyone making so much eye contact. At first I thought it was just me and the special vibes between the two of us. Then I thought it was the camera, because every time I looked at her, I couldn't resist pulling out my camera; but there was this confound, was she in love with Uncle Dickie or his camera. Then I was disappointed to see that she was making almost continuous eye contact with everyone. Even when she was attracted to the first fire she'd ever seen, she couldn't resist making eye contact.

Lisa Martin Palas, a composer with ties to Harrison County, and Nancy Peacock, a Nashville composer, have written the words and music for a new play, "Looking for Mrs. Santa Claus." Lexington playwright, Margaret Price, wrote the script, which will be performed by the Studio Players of Lexington in November and December.
Santa's elves, with good intentions, begin to interview "eligible" wives for Santa, with interesting results. Suitable for family viewing, the play will delight young and old alike.
The Cynthiana fire department teamed up with Walmart for their annual Safety Day and Fire Prevention Week. A muster show with firefighter competitions and a parade was held Saturday, Oct. 15 with a chili competition following the parade at Flat Run Veterans Park. A smoke trailer, fire truck ride, helicopters, Ronald McDonald, Kentucky Utilities and fire trucks from all over were on site.
When it comes to bulbs we don't always meet with consistent success. And, before you blame the chipmunks, the guy who mows the grass or the bulb company for their lack-luster performance, consider some of the other factors that influence how well flowering bulbs flower.
Sunlight, crowded bulbs, pre-mature removal of foliage the previous season, or a winter rest period that wasn't cold enough or long enough may play a role in poor performance.
The life cycle of a bulb is different than other herbaceous perennials.
Former Harrison County court designated worker Billy Hatfield has been inducted into the Department of Family & Juvenile Services Hall of Fame.
Hatfield is among the first inductees in the new Hall of Fame.
He began his work with the Administrative Office of the Courts as a CDW in 1987 for Harrison, Pendleton, Robertson and Nicholas counties.
In 1999 he became a field supervisor for the northeastern region and was named assistant general manager in 2003, where he remained until his retirement on 2007.
Ed Preston died Oct. 5. He lived across the street from us. He had been at the Hospice House and his wife, Lillian, asked my husband to watch over their house while she stayed with him.
They were married 64 years. Ed turned 94 on Sept. 30.
The evening of Oct. 5 — it was a Wednesday — I saw our other neighbor drive off with Lillian. When they returned a few hours later I knew something had happened.
My husband and I went across the street, and as Lillian got out of the car she said, "Ed died."
His memorial service was Monday.

Manning Camp good for area
Published: Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 10:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 10:51 a.m.
It's inevitable during this time of the year.
NFL training camps don't start for another four weeks, and high school and college-football seasons don't kick off until late-August. So, just admit it.
The 1970s song was called "Basketball Jones," but right about now, most people in southeast Louisiana have a "Football Jones."
For area residents though, this weekend could offer an opportunity to get a bit of an appetizer before football season.
On Thursday, about 1,000 campers from around the country will arrive in Thibodaux to check in for the Manning Passing Academy, which runs through Sunday.
This is the fifth year the camp is being held at Nicholls State and its 14th year overall.
The public is welcome to go watch the camp. Barricades are set up near the practice fields used by the camp, and training sessions take place in the morning and afternoon.
Of course, the main attraction of the camp are the counselors.
Obviously, the namesakes, Archie, Cooper, Eli and Peyton Manning are there annually.
And in years past, the college quarterbacks who have coached at the camp have been part of a who's who list of the NCAA's best signal callers.
Two of the last three first-overall NFL draft picks have participated at the camp, including former LSU and current Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell and this year's No. 1 draft pick, Matthew Stafford.
A confirmed list of counselors hasn't been released yet for this year's camp, but if the past is any indication, the campers will be learning lessons from some of the country's top quarterbacks, wide receivers and coaches.
While the weekend is dedicated to the campers, Saturday morning's Air-It-Out exhibition in John L. Guidry Stadium caters to the public.
During the exhibition, the quarterback counselors, including the Mannings, throw passes with campers and some college receivers, putting on display some of the drills that are run during the week.
Admission to the event is $5.
Russell took part in the exhibition three years ago and wowed fans with his arm strength, throwing passes longer than 80 yards a couple of times.
It's unlikely any of this year's participants will have the arm strength that Russell displayed, that year, but it is still a worthwhile event to check out especially for someone who just can't wait to check out some football.
And then on Sunday, just like that, things slow down, and football leaves for a bit.
On July 17, there is a one-day camp at Nicholls State with a number of former LSU players serving as counselors.
And from there?
NFL training camps open. Preseason games begin. News flow picks up.
Then eventually, college teams begin workouts. High school jamborees kick off, followed by Week 1 of their seasons.
From there, Saturday and Sundays will be filled with football.
Yep, it's near.
But not near enough.
So for anyone with a "Football Jones," this weekend could be a quick fix.

The Engelhardt Encounters
Prologue: Rough Night
This was a city of over seven million people; a mass of humanity all packed together in one giant cauldron. He ought to be able to go completely unnoticed, yet as he moved through the back streets of Hong Kong on this very late night, he felt like the entire city was aware of his presence.
Logically, he knew that wasn't true. But he knew that, even as one man in a city of seven million other people, he would never be able to go completely unnoticed. Not here, not anywhere. A man like him, he knew, stuck out like a lightning bolt in the night sky; like a gunshot in an otherwise quiet forest. He knew he stuck out, and he absolutely hated it.
This man did not call this city home. His home was on another continent entirely. He had next to no familiarity with this city, with this metropolis, except for the small part he had reconnoitered in order to complete his assignment. He knew enough to see him through to the end of his mission and nothing else.
And this almost two meter tall man, with his blond hair and distinctly European features, knew that staying out of sight was integral to his mission. He stuck to the alleyways and narrower streets as he moved across the city. Even if this was a city in which many foreigners found themselves on business, this man's business was far from typical.
He had to stay out of sight, because he knew that the Hong Kong police wouldn't take kindly to a foreign assassin in their city. To get caught would be unthinkable. He had far too much riding on this mission to get caught.
As he made his way to the club that his mark was known to frequent, he couldn't help but reflect on how his life had come to this. He'd gone from a relatively stable career as a heavyweight boxer, and became someone that took lives for money. How had he gone from that to a career he hated?
These reflections were cut short when he realized that, while he'd been contemplating his entire current existence, he had arrived at his destination. The bright lights of the club were shining brightly, partially lighting up the dark alleyway he was standing in. He moved into the shadows and waited. As he waited, he started to feel the usual misgivings, the usual dread, at the act he was about to commit. This was the part of the job he always loathed, the sole reason he hated this job. Most assassins took satisfaction from the kill, or at the very least, felt nothing at it. But to him, the action of taking a human life was something he had never become accustomed to. The people he was tasked to eliminate were always the world's most dangerous, those who were literally too dangerous to be left alive, and he tried to remember that. But it never got any easier. And he could remember the names and faces of every single one, from the Spanish mob leader that was his first, to the big-name Avtorityet with the Russian mafia which was his most recent. Tonight, if he succeeded, he would add a Triad deputy to his list.
He made his way towards the street, his footsteps on the pavement all but imperceptible. Checking his weapon of choice, a black Walther P22, to make sure that the safety was off and that it was ready to fire, and taking a moment to pull a black ski mask over his face to hide his features, he caught sight of his target emerging from the doorway of the club.
His target, and the bodyguard that loomed large beside him, an automatic rifle clutched in one arm.
That was just typical, he couldn't help but think. Of course the man would have a bodyguard. It didn't really pose any undue trouble. He could take down two just as easily as one, and he knew he would have to. But he didn't want to kill anyone else if he could avoid it.
He took a step forward just as the bodyguard looked in his direction. He saw the other's eyes widen and could hear the shouted curse. Even with his concealment in the shadows, there was no doubt that he'd been seen.
Running on instinct, he threw himself behind a nearby parked car, flattening himself against the ground as much as he could. He knew what was coming next.
Sure enough, the sound of automatic fire from the guard's weapon split the night, and he heard the sound of shattering glass as the bodyguard blew out the windows of the vehicle. He could feel the glass shards raining down on him, and more than once felt a round pass by millimeters above him. He remained crouched down, waiting for his opening, and only moments after the gunfire started, he heard the unmistakable click of the magazine and the surprised curse that followed it. It was a sound he knew from experience, and the one that he had been waiting for.
It meant that the bodyguard, who clearly had no proper training and little experience using a weapon on full-auto, had just run out of things to fire.
He got to his feet and fired two shots. Both smashed into the bodyguard's chest, and the automatic rifle fell from lifeless hands as the body of the guard hit the ground.
At that moment he realized that, while he'd been taking cover behind the now-destroyed automobile, his target had bolted, and was now almost twenty meters down the street.
He took off in pursuit, his footsteps pounding the pavement. He knew he had to get closer; he had to be sure he could hit only his target and nobody else. But he was a big man. He just wasn't fast enough to catch up with the much smaller, much more fleet-footed mobster. He had to take a shot, and if he was going to do it, he had to do it now. The crowd was starting to thin out and he knew this would be his best opportunity.
He raised the pistol and fired twice. Both shots hit home and the mobster fell face first to the ground.
The assassin leaned against the wall of the building and took a moment to calm his nerves. His heart was pounding and his hands were starting to shake. He knew the full weight of what he had done would hit him later.
Right now, though, he had to disappear. He could already hear the commotion of people awakened by the gunfire and the sirens already starting towards the area.
By the time the police arrived on scene, he was gone, the two dead men the only evidence he had ever been there at all.

Kim Dotcom: 'Megaupload is coming back'
The notorious internet mogul, Kim Dotcom, known for his file sharing companies, said that a new service will launch soon. He also hinted that the new service will come in January 2017.

The notorious internet mogul, Kim Dotcom, known for his file sharing companies, said that a new service will launch soon. He also hinted that the new service will come in January 2017.
Microsoft has shared its roadmap for the future of SharePoint, offering "simple and powerful file sharing on any device", and promising to put "the mobile and intelligent intranet" in your pocket.
Kim Dotcom, famous for creating MegaUpload and subsequently Mega, is warning users off of the service he launched. He seems to believe their data is no longer safe and the company might disappear.
The FBI has arrested a Californian man for sharing "The Revenant" on piracy sites in December. He has agreed to plead guilty to copyright infringement which carries a maximum sentence of three years.
This afternoon, in front of a packed gallery, a New Zealand judge ruled that Kim Dotcom could be legally extradited to the US in order to face charges of copyright infringement.
Private torrent trackers have begun banning Windows 10 users from their sharing networks as they believe Microsoft is trying to spy on them, based upon the terms of its new Services Agreement.
Users of the popular torrent application uTorrent are likely not aware that the program's latest build is actually confiscating your CPU to mine bitcoin while running.
Yet another file sharing website will soon be lost to history, and again for undisclosed reasons. The site is now displaying a message on its homepage asking users to backup their data, or lose it.
Easy File Sharing Web Server is a Windows program that allows you to host a secure peer-to-peer and web-based file sharing system without any additional software or services.
Piracy, especially music piracy, has apparently disappeared from Norway. This seems to be because of easy to access to affordable, convenient and legal music streaming services.
Sony has attempted to step up the fight against pirate sites this year but has been caught unwittingly funding these very sites according to analysis by the MPAA.
If you thought internationally coordinated law enforcement agencies could take on The Pirate Bay and win, think again. The file sharing site, after being taken offline, is alive and well again.
Leading file sharing site The Pirate Bay says that traffic to its site has doubled since internet service providers began blocking access to it, with a third of its traffic still coming from the US.
Peter Sunde, co-founder of file-sharing site The Pirate Bay, has been arrested in Sweden following almost two years on the run, after being sentenced to prison for copyright violations.
Http File Server (HFS) is an easy to use drag and drop file server for personal file sharing. It runs as a standalone executable and does not require any installation. The program is very easy to use.

A voluntary code to be discussed by the British Phonographic Institute, major ISPs and David Cameron at 10 Downing Street in September could bring new policies to counter illegal downloads of music.

A new research digs deep into the box office revenues highlighting some interesting finds: blockbuster films improved their performance, while smaller products were hurt.
Kim DotCom's new on-line service will have a New Zealand-based domain, the entrepreneur confirms. And it will work with the due respect of the local laws.
A federal court in Illinois has ordered a man to pay $1.5m in damages - the largest award of its kind - after evidence proved that he had illegally shared ten adult movies via BitTorrent.
The most popular BitTorrent website is back after a bit of downtime. The culprit is a defective part that had to be replaced on-site, the Bay crew said.
File sharing continues to be a thorn in the side of the entertainment industries. Now public prosecutors in Portugal have said that file sharing copyright material online is, in fact, legal.
Kim Dotcom, the now-famous internet media mogul, has revealed further details on Megabox. Anyone interested will be disappointed to discover the supposedly revolutionary service is "coming soon".
The Motion Picture Association of America has deemed file-sharing hub Hotfile the "most blatant inducer of copyright infringement" during legal proceedings, beating even Megaupload and torrent sites.
Filesonic, previously one of the major file-sharing websites on the internet, has been gone for the past few days with no explanation, and the main domain having suddenly changed hands.
Kim Dotcom is to receive up to $6,000,000 from the New Zealand government to aid his legal battle for the future. This money will be secured from $10,000,000 in bonds that were frozen back in April.
Kim Dotcom has shared some of his extremely ambitious plans with the internet via his Twitter account, indicating that he isn't going to give up on his goals for the future.
A Demonoid staff member was apparently arrested in Monterrey, Mexico in October 2011, and a criminal case of intellectual property rights violations is being built against the site's owners.
After an extended period of downtime from a DDoS attack, followed by a period of malicious redirects to malware and spam sites, Demonoid has been shut down by the Ukrainian government.
The uTorrent company is experimenting new ways to monetize its P2P clients and the free availability of digital contents on the BitTorrent network. The first of these experiments pushes RealPlayer.
The most-resilient P2P search engine threatens the content industry: you will not block us, we will just make use of hundreds of IP addresses to let users access our service.
A man who wants to get to his legally owned video files that were stored on MegaUpload's now shut down servers is trying once again to ask the courts to intervene and get his files back.
The Pirate Bay is combating court-mandated blockades in several European countries by adding a new IP address to access the website with. The new site is also designed to work nicely with proxies.
A new study says that people who spend more time sharing files are more likely to be depressed, and that we could need surveillance to keep the internet from frying our brains. Or something like that.
One of the Pirate Bay founders is bringing the landmark case to the European Court of Human Rights. It isn't as much a "copyright infringement" issue as a case about freedom of speech.
Michael Robertson's creation for on-line music sharing is reaching the end of the line, as the USA businessman explains how the recording industry sued his company out of existence.
Facebook has begun updating its groups to provide members with the ability to upload files. The feature started rolling out yesterday and will be available to all groups soon.
Despite a law being passed in France to make life harder for pirates, music sales are not increasing. In fact, they're still falling, and nobody can say with certainty why.
A number of former MegaUpload users report that they have encountered a new online scam designed to scare them into paying money via a fake legal letter and threats of large fines
Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom claims in a new interview that the now shut down file sharing web site had accounts that were created by US government officials, including at the Justice Department.
Soulseek is a unique ad-free, spyware free, and just plain free file sharing application. One of the things that makes Soulseek unique is the community-related features.
The popular file sharing service Dropbox launched a redesign of its web site late on Thursday, adding new features such as an action bar and a new photo viewer.
Papers were filed in New Zealand by United States federal prosecutors, seeking the extradition of Kim Dotcom, founder of Megaupload, and three of his associates.
In his first major interview since his arrest, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom defends the now shut down file sharing web site, saying, "I'm no copyright infringer".

according to the compatibily list "WP-ShortStat 1.3" should work with WP 2.0.
But when I open the "shortstat"'s in dashboard I get the following message:
Since Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /<path>/wp-content/plugins/wp-shortstat.php on line 771
Any ideas? Does WP-ShortStats run on one of your 2.0 installations? Can someone advise another statistics plugin which similar information that works with WP 2.0?

Police begin 'Click it or Ticket' effort
Henrico student recognized for poster design
Local and state police gathered May 24 at Richmond International Raceway to promote their participation in the national 'Click It or Ticket' program and recognize a Henrico student for her poster, which will be used to promote the program locally.
Dumbarton Elementary School fifth-grader Valeriz Castellar received a $100 check and special certificate for her winning 'Click It Or Ticket' poster design from Henrico County police Chief Doug Middleton and Sgt. Jim Livingstone from the Fraternal Order of Police No. 4 during the kick-off event at Richmond International Raceway.
"I love art a lot, I do," Castellar said. "Thinking about doing something that I really like and getting money for what I love is neat."
The contest was open to all fifth-grade students in Henrico County School District, said Lt. A.J. Gordon of the Henrico police. Art teachers from each school picked a winner, and Middleton and his staff chose Castellar's poster from the seven winning posters.
"We figure the children are the future, and we can get them to promote seatbelt and child restraint safety among themselves and their families," Gordon said. Click It or Ticket promotes seat belt and child safety seat use.
Henrico Police were joined by officers from Police, James City Police, Virginia State Police, New Kent Sheriff's Office, York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office and Chesterfield Police to promote national Click It Or Ticket Mobilization May 21 – June 3 and the Memorial Day weekend Route 60 Blitz May 25.
As part of the mobilization and blitz there will be an increased presence of officers from all jurisdictions along Route 60. The blitz began in 2006 on the suggestion of Lt. Lee Bailey of the New Kent County Sheriff's Office, according to Gordon.
During 2011 Memorial Day weekend, 10 people died on Virginia roadways, Gordon said. Of those, two were children and three adults who were not restrained. In all there was a total of 764 traffic related deaths in Virginia last year, and of those 306 were unrestrained.
"If they'd have been wearing their seat belts they probably would have survived," Gordon said.
A survey conducted in Henrico prior to the Click It or Ticket campaign showed that 79 percent of drivers in Henrico had been wearing seat belts, Gordon said, adding that officials hope to increase that percentage to 82 or 83 through enforcement and education efforts.
The 2011 state usage rate was 81 percent, said Mary Ann Rayment of the Department of Motor Vehicles Virginia Office of Motor Safety. State officials would like to improve that to 82.5 percent, she said, but reaching that number will require the effort of all Virginians.
"We hope it won't take a traffic stop to get you to buckle up," she said. "But we are here to help get you to your destinations in one piece."

I have a Mac Server that the mac users on the network login to. All works fine and as expected.
However, if for any reason the mac server is uncontactable, you cannot log into the mac. Is there any way, (you can on windows I think) to cache the login so that they can still logon without the server being available?
