NEW YORK - The Boston Red Sox put aside curses and fatigue to burst ahead in the AL championship series.
David Ortiz, Todd Walker and Manny Ramirez homered off a shaky Mike Mussina, and the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-2 Wednesday night.
All the chants and signs reminding Boston of its 85-year title drought only seemed to spur on the Red Sox against their old rivals, who have dominated their Northeast neighbors for decades.
Tim Wakefield befuddled New York with his knuckleball, taking a 5-0 lead into the seventh before he got wild. Three relievers from Boston's beleaguered bullpen completed the three-hitter.
"Our offense came through. It's unbelievable," Wakefield said.
After traveling from Boston to Oakland on Sunday night, then winning Game 5 on Monday night and flying back across the country, the Red Sox seemed bleary eyed when they arrived at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. But when it came time to play, they had the energy and emotion, not New York, which had been off since winning its first-round series at Minnesota on Sunday.
Wakefield, who retired 14 straight batters starting in the second, said he was going on adrenaline.
"I told all my friends don't call me because I'm going to be sleeping in," he said.
Ever since December, when Boston president Larry Lucchino called the Yankees the "Evil Empire," the Red Sox have played off imagery from "Star Wars," painting themselves as white knights trying to knock off the 26-time World Series champions.
Red Sox 5, Yankees 2
The Series: Boston leads series, 1-0
Tonight's Game 2 Matchup: Boston (Lowe 17-7) at New York (Pettitte 21-8).
TV/Radio: KCIT-TV, 7 tonight.; KPUR (1440-AM), 6:45 tonight.
Following their stunning comeback from a 2-0 deficit against the Athletics, Lucchino even predicted the Red Sox, who haven't won the Series since trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920 - supposedly bringing on The Curse - would have The Force on their side.
Yankees fans kept reminding the Red Sox of their title drought, taunting them by screaming "1918," but it just seemed to fuel the Red Sox, who showed force at the plate and rapped out 13 hits, including four by Ramirez, who grew up close to Yankee Stadium.
Boston scored just 17 runs against the A's in the first round.
"After that series in Oakland, we were certainly due," Red Sox manager Grady Little said.
Derek Lowe tries to make it 2-0 tonight when he pitches Game 2 of the best-of-seven series against New York's Andy Pettitte.
Boston, which finished second to New York in the AL East for the sixth straight season, had dropped 12 of its previous 13 games in the ALCS since its last World Series appearance in 1986, including a 4-1 loss to the Yankees in the 1999 LCS.
But the Red Sox struck back on the 47th anniversary of one of the most famous games in baseball and Yankee Stadium history - Don Larsen's perfect game against Brooklyn in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
Mussina, pitching on seven days' rest since losing the first-round opener against Minnesota, wasn't sharp at all, allowing three homers in a game for only the second time this year - and for the first time in 13 postseason starts. He dropped to 4-4 in postseason play.
While Mussina didn't allow any runs in the second inning, he labored, going to 2-0 counts on four batters, including 3-0 on three.
Boston finally broke through in the fourth. Ramirez reached on a one-hopper to right side that Mussina just managed to deflect - similar to Cristian Guzman's infield hit that led to Minnesota's key rally in his previous start.
Ortiz, who had been 0-for-20 against Mussina, fell behind 0-2, worked the count full and then homered into the front of the right-field upper deck.
Walker made it 3-0 when he led off the fifth with a drive high off the foul pole in right field. While right-field umpire Angel Hernandez signaled it was foul, he was immediately overruled by plate umpire Tim McClelland - also behind the plate 20 years ago when he took a home run away from George Brett.
Josh, an 18-year-old from Fair Lawn, N.J., who refused to give his last name, said the ball hit his right palm, which was red, and dropped straight down and didn't hit the pole.
"It was a foul ball by at least six inches," he said.
Walker said he couldn't tell.
"But everybody who saw the replay said it was a home run," he said.
With four postseason homers, Walker tied the Boston team record set by Nomar Garciaparra four years ago. Walker hit just 13 during the regular season.
"I don't think I can explain it," he said. "I don't think I want to."
Two batters later, Ramirez hit homered on a drive that just cleared the right-field wall and a leaping Juan Rivera. Kevin Millar added an RBI single to make it 5-0.

Josh, both NAFTA and CAFTA have INCREASED American jobs (as would the trade agreement with Colombia), by encouraging greater importation of American goods into those countries. Now, I don't expect the average voter to understand that - hell, I don't expect the average Slogger to understand that - but I sure as hell expect a candidate for President to understand it.
Ya know, I just got back from a place south of here and I will tell ya, in other parts of the country Obama is considered the divisive one (Not Hillary). I am sure that some of it is racist.
But I also talked to folks who just don't like him because he comes across as condescending and elitist. In their minds Obama is a more charismatic and likable John Kerry -- Blue Blooded, Northern, Harvard Educated, Condescending and Elitist.
I am not saying I agree, I am just pointing out the perception of him in places outside the blue bubbles many of us travel to and from.
Marxists are nice people and all, but why do they have to talk shit all the time. I can't understand a word they say. That wikipage on false consciousness was drivel.
'Understand that'? Talk about condescension. Neoliberalism has complex effects. I expect a president to understand the overall macroeconomic benefits, just as I expect him/her to understand the downsides.
But it's really not as simple as 'creates jobs.' It will take jobs away and result in new jobs. The big issue isn't so much the arithmetic (num jobs) as what kind of jobs, who gets which ones, and just in general, who gains from the changes. Those are the hard questions. "Will make new jobs for americans" is an easy question to answer. The important questions for most people, though, "Will it take MY job? Will it make a better job available to ME that I can switch to?" are hard questions, and the answers are different for everybody.
I think you meant to say "increases pollution" instead of "creates jobs" ...
Correct, John @4, but it was already getting to be a longish post. And the debate over which jobs are lost and which are gained is a can of worms at best.
Anti-NAFTA =/= Anti-Trade
Come on, this is easy. The obvious, inevitable response is "I don't hate free trade, I just don't like everything about NAFTA". You're getting lazy here, Josh.
Obama just said that, among other things, "anti-trade sentiment" stems from trouble finding a steady job.
In the section of 'The Audacity of Hope' on the economy, he talks about the need to be forward-looking in America. We can't cut ourselves off from the global economy that's growing so quickly, and we have to look out for our immediate needs. If NAFTA doesn't serve those needs, out it goes and we take a new approach.
That kind of position, which is neither "pro-trade" nor "anti-trade", is reasonable. Any stark declaration of one or the other without compromise is not.
I support NAFTA. http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/cool_it_in_ohio
I'm not saying O is wrong too. I'm just saying, it appears he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. No?
No! You can fail to support NAFTA and still not be brazenly anti- or pro-trade.
If only politicians would more often look at both sides of the issue, or consider the legality of a position before taking it publicly.
Stop acting like everyone else in the media.
Predictably, Sen. Clinton pounces: "Pennsylvanians don't need a President who looks down on them."
Right, because to Clinton PA is one of the states that "counts".
I guess they don't drink lattes or drive SUVs in PA.
Come on Josh, being against free trade is obviously not the same thing as being against trade itself. I think Obama was referring to isolationist weirdos that really don't think we should trade with people at all.
Okay, so where are the folks like unPC, McG, Emily, etc.? They'll take the bait and pounce on this. Anything to be negative... They have no social skills.
5280: You're in denial. America doesn't make any goods any more.
I live amongst the same people Obama is talking about and they are uneducated about almost all the issues except guns, gays,
abortion, and NASCAR.
The people I live around never, ever leave their county let alone their state. Some of them are scared to drive 55 miles to a "big city" like Indianapolis for fear they will be raped, mugged, or killed.
They are ignorant HICKS. There I said it. My neighbors are ignorant because the powers that be want them that way and they are happily led by the nose through their lives, safe and serene.
Once this are was solidly D, not it is solidly R because of ONE thing... abortion.
Meh. Obama pretty much hit the target, and sadly if he seems "condescending" and "out of touch" it just reflects the wounded pride a lot of Americans have when confronting people who use the language of academics. His tone and content BOTH seem to match that of anthropologists who study things like poverty and class and economists who study economics to do more than act as blind-faith cheerleaders for the free market(better known as "business shills.")
This doesn't particularly surprise me, his mother was a social anthropologist and that had to rub off on him a little bit. For those who try to claim that he's "elite" and loaded, try to remember where he came from.
I live with a social anthropologist. They don't make a lot of money, generally, as I am reminded every time I look at our cashflow.
Anyway, I got a bit off-topic here;
Obama's right on the money, I lived in an area exactly like the ones he is talking about. Western NY state. For those who are wondering, this region shares the economic misery of rust-belt places like Indiana coupled with the wonder of statewide policies that are tailor made for the rich part of New York(NYC and its surrounding environs). I was broke for most of that stage of my life and my family certainly didn't do well and shared a lot of veiled xenophobia, resentment, and racism that he is talking about and didn't do better for myself until I made it to the west coast. My family weren't the only people I knew like this, my dad wasn't the only person I heard complaining about " and women taking his job" in the wake of the steady 30+-year economic tailspin. I have to say there are plenty of folk with eight chins and no hope running around the countryside who are probably even more bitter than the poor bastards stuck in places like Rochester and Buffalo. Maybe he's alienating some of the people he's trying to speak for here but I give him points for at least truthfully and (I think respectfully) saying something largely truthful in comparison to your usual pandering.
What @19 said - yes, that is Buffalo right there, although it was mostly Mexicans and other nonwhite folk, not women, they hated for taking jobs.
it must be a real challenge for a candidate as smart as obama to dumb it down enough for the kind of people who are suffering economically, but vote repug because of abortion. how DOES an intelligent person get thru to those kind of rubes? maybe dems abandon the whole abortion controversy altogether, i'm starting to think. back-burner it. it's just too divisive and an effective repug tool.
Barach Oboma was a follower of the Reverend Wright for a number of years and has talked on the good things the minister had done (in his opinion) but not much about the false accusations made by him and his church concerning their concern ( in their opinion) for the egregious acts committed by the U.S. Govt.
Now Barrach is affiliated with George Soros whose views about our society and politics are well known. The speech made by Barrach closely reflect Georges views on our country and his political science views namely the validity of our constitutional rights including- the right to bear arms and freedom of religion.
I remember the Communists used to refer to our freedom of religion as a narcotic of the masses .I am concerned that Barachs speech was a trial balloon to see how the public will react to Barachs/ George Soros opinions and the direction they want the United States to go.
Looks like the tinfoil hats have come to town. Heh heh heh. I suppose I could say more than just make some ad-hominem arguement but I'm lazy.

Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from Jeff Pearlman's new book "Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty," copyright 2008 by Jeff Pearlman. Reprinted with permission of HarperCollins.
On the morning of Super Bowl XXX, Larry Brown woke up, brushed his teeth, took a shower, ate some breakfast and, before leaving the hotel for Sun Devil Stadium, heard his wife ask, "Larry, are you nervous?"
It was a fair question, in that Larry Brown was almost always nervous. Whether he was playing for Texas Christian or the Dallas Cowboys, rare were the pregame rituals that didn't include heaping spoonfuls of anxiety. For some reason, this day was different.
Purchase Jeff Pearlman's new book, "Boys Will Be Boys."
"Nah," he said. "With Deion on the other side they're going to be throwing at me all day. I plan on picking off two or three balls by the time it's over."
Although Cheryl would later boast of her husband's Nostradamus-like moment, it didn't take a starting NFL defensive back to know that, in the battle of quarterbacks, Dallas possessed a tremendous advantage. While Pittsburgh's secondary had to contend with the strong-armed Troy Aikman and his two favorite targets, Michael Irvin and tight end Jay Novacek, Dallas' defense would be facing Neil O'Donnell, the league's most ordinary signal-caller.
A fifth-year veteran out of the University of Maryland, O'Donnell possessed above-average accuracy, slightly below-average arm strength and an introverted personality that hardly inspired teammates. "Neil was very self-critical," says Mike Tomczak, Pittsburgh's backup quarterback. "He was a tough kid from New Jersey who strived for perfection." O'Donnell's stats were always more impressive than the actual, in-the-flesh player. Over 12 games during the '95 season, he threw for 2,970 yards and 17 touchdowns, with a mere seven interceptions. "Was Neil a good quarterback?" says Andre Hastings, a Steeler wide receiver. "Well, he was pretty OK, I guess. But I would never say he was a Hall of Fame or Pro Bowl type of guy. He did his job."
"I look at it this way," says Ernie Mills, another Steeler receiver. "We ran a lot of four- and five-receiver sets, so somebody was going to be open."
After the requisite two weeks of hype, Sunday evening finally arrived. It was a mild evening in Tempe, Ariz., -- 70 degrees, little breeze, a blue, cloudless sky. As America's Team, the Cowboys were used to charging onto the field and hearing substantially more cheers than boos. Such was certainly the case in the previous two Super Bowls, when the Cowboys were the Rolling Stones playing Madison Square Garden and the Buffalo Bills were Bad Ronald at the Stormville Flea Market. This time was different. The Steelers represented every blue-collar American fatigued by the whole flash-and-dash Dallas mojo. It didn't hurt that Pittsburgh had won an NFL-high four Super Bowls, a past that made the Steelers one of the league's more popular franchises. "Usually when we came to Arizona, if there were 75,000 fans at the game, 50,000 or so were Cowboy fans," says Dale Hellestrae, Dallas' long snapper. "Well, this time we go running onto the field for pregame warm-ups and we're getting booed. Cowboy fans were outnumbered by Steelers fans and those Terrible Towels are everywhere. I remember us looking around and going, 'What the hell is going on here?'"
Dallas took the opening kickoff and casually marched down the field behind a 20-yard pass from Aikman to Irvin followed by a 23-yard Emmitt Smith run. Though they settled for a 42-yard field goal from a shaken Chris Boniol ("I couldn't make a kick from 25 to 45 yards in pregame," Boniol says. "I mean, not one."), the Cowboys had set a tone.
After limiting Pittsburgh to three plays, Dallas dominated again, this time starting at its own 25-yard-line and confidently attacking the vaunted Steeler defense. The key play -- the sort of play that becomes a game's signature -- came on a first down and 10, when Aikman dropped back and launched a 47-yard spiral to Deion Sanders, who dashed past cornerback Willie Williams to make an artistic, over-the-left-shoulder haul. Four plays later Aikman hit Novacek, who tiptoed into the end zone from three yards out. When Boniol kicked another field goal on the following series, the score was 13-0.
Across the nation, 94.8 million TV viewers began to wonder whether Diana Ross' halftime extravaganza would feature songs from her Supremes days or the solo years.
"Those Cowboys sure didn't lack for confidence," says Kendall Gammon, the Steelers' long snapper. "But neither did we. We were new to the Super Bowl, so maybe there were some nerves. But we were too good to lie down and get our butts kicked."

Larry Brown parlayed two Super Bowl interceptions into a $12 million pact with the Oakland Raiders.
Following an exchange of punts, Pittsburgh attacked. Facing a third-and-20 from his own 36-yard line, O'Donnell rifled a 19-yard bullet to Hastings. "That was awful," says Switzer. "(Linebacker) Darrin Smith was supposed to play zone and just stay in the middle. Instead he followed a receiver and (Hastings) was wide open. If the players just followed my damn instructions, we would have won easily."
On fourth-and-one, Bill Cowher's directive was a simple one: Make a first down and steal momentum. Come up empty again, and the night belongs to Dallas. Into the game came rookie receiver/running back/quarterback Kordell Stewart, who gained the needed acreage with a three-yard dash. As Stewart popped to his feet, thousands of Terrible Towels twirled in the air, transforming Sun Devil Stadium into a swaying black-and-gold ocean. With 13 seconds remaining in the first half, O'Donnell hit receiver Yancey Thigpen with a 6-yard touchdown strike. A potential blowout had turned into a legitimate battle. Halftime score: 13-7.
"We were rejuvenated," says Hastings. "The rest of the game was going to belong to us." In the Steelers' locker room, Cowher was at his fiery best. The players loved their head coach because he never concealed an emotion; instead, he was known for shoving his ironworker's jaw in a Steeler's face and screaming or crying or laughing. Now he was all rage. "Those [SOBs] thought you were nothing!" he screamed. "They thought they were going to run all over you! They thought you were a joke. Well, they're not laughing anymore! We took their best shots! Now it's our turn! Let's go take what's ours ..."
As Cowher spoke, not a peep was uttered from his players. Pittsburgh had endured two weeks of ridicule, and it stung. The players stormed back onto the field with a fire Dallas lacked. This was about disrespect; about payback; about overcoming the odds and doubters. "You hear enough trash, you snap," says Hastings. "We snapped."
After dueling unsuccessful drives to start the third quarter, Pittsburgh began to grind its way down the field, rolling over a sagging Cowboy defense to its own 48-yard line. Facing third down and nine, O'Donnell received the snap, took five steps backward and was pressured by Chad Hennings, who charged through the middle of the Pittsburgh line. On the verge of being sacked, O'Donnell tossed the ball to the outside, where he expected to find an uncovered Mills. Instead, it floated into the arms of Brown, who returned it 44 yards to the Steelers' 18. On the Dallas sideline, players lept with excitement. "I can't lie," says Brown. "That one was a gift." With 6:42 left in the third quarter, Emmitt Smith ran in from one yard away, handing Dallas a 20-7 advantage.
"That was Neil's fault," says Mills. "He played great for us that season, but on the one play he made a really bad read."
The Steelers and Cowboys traded aborted drives, and when Pittsburgh got the ball again, it used nine plays to advance from its own 20-yard line to the Cowboys' 19. But on third-and-eight, O'Donnell was hammered by Dallas defensive end Tony Tolbert, who slammed the quarterback down for a devastating nine-yard loss. A 46-yard field goal from Norm Johnson cut the Dallas lead to 20-10 with 11:20 left in the game, and then Cowher -- a calculated gambler -- took a major chance. With the Cowboys lined up for a run-of-the-mill kickoff, Norm Johnson squibbed the ball off the tee toward the right sideline, where Pittsburgh defensive back Deon Figures scooped it up. First and 10, Steelers, on their own 48-yard line. "At that moment I was thinking, 'We're gonna lose this thing. I can't believe it,'" says Dallas linebacker Jim Schwantz. "Because I thought it was gonna be an easy game. I thought we'd throw our helmets out there and win." Nine plays later, Pittsburgh running back Bam Morris rammed through a one-yard touchdown run, cutting the deficit to 20-17. "Once we got the jitters out," said Steelers cornerback Carnell Lake, "we outplayed them."
It was going to happen. It was really going to happen. The Pittsburgh Steelers were about to beat the Dallas Cowboys. Impossible. Unimaginable. With 4:15 left in the game, Pittsburgh got the ball back on its own 32-yard line, momentum on its side, the fans in a frenzy, one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history within reach.
And the Steelers quarterback was nervous.
Extremely nervous.
O'Donnell's eyes were wide and his breaths were deep. "I talked to some offensive guys later and they said Neil wasn't looking so good in huddle," says Jerry Olsavsky, a Steelers linebacker. "I didn't understand that -- we weren't scared on defense. We were never scared on defense."
On first down and 10, O'Donnell scrambled left and threw toward Hastings, who dropped the ball.
On second down and 10, two men sealed their eternal NFL statuses:
One turned into Mookie Wilson.
The other -- Bill Buckner.
O'Donnell and the Steelers bounded out of the huddle convinced they had a play certain to work. O'Donnell would take a four-step drop and fire a pass to Hastings, who planned on using his speed to run a slant route across the field and in front of the sagging Dallas secondary. Worst-case scenario, Hastings scoots for a first down. Best-case scenario, he outruns the Cowboys and scores the game-winning touchdown.
"We were going to pull it out," says Olsavsky. "I felt it."
Aware of O'Donnell's spineless reputation, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dave Campo spent the game urging his linemen to thump the Steelers quarterback whenever possible. "We caught Pittsburgh by surprise by running zone blitzes," Campo says. "We wanted to confuse their quarterback." When the two teams met to open the 1994 season, the Cowboys sacked O'Donnell nine times. The memory was in his head. Had to have been. Now, with a Super Bowl in the balance, Campo wisely called out "Zero!" -- code for a nine-man blitz. Darren Woodson looked toward Brown and shouted, "Larry, be aggressive here! Be aggressive! They're coming your way!" As O'Donnell dropped back, he was harassed by a collapsing wall of defenders. He did what a good quarterback does -- threw to the spot, knowing exactly where Hastings was supposed to be and trusting the route-running abilities of Pittsburgh's second-leading receiver.
Yet instead of slanting one way, Hastings went the other. For the second time that evening, Brown was in the exact right spot at the exact right time -- all alone with a football fluttering his way. It was Christmas and Easter and Kwanzaa and Purim rolled into one, and Brown eagerly caught the ball and dashed 33 yards to the lip of the end zone.
"It was like a cartoon -- noooooooooooooooooo! Poof!" says Hastings. "It was a pretty bad feeling. Like, 'This cannot be happening.' It's one thing to get blown out and say 'OK, it wasn't our Sunday.' But to be that close, it's pretty heartbreaking."
Emmitt Smith scored shortly thereafter, and the game was done. The Steelers had held Smith to 49 yards rushing, limited Irvin to five catches for 76 yards, held Aikman to a single touchdown pass ... and still lost.
Cowboys: 27.
Steelers: 17.
"We gave away the Super Bowl," said running back Erric Pegram. "We gave the darn thing away."
What few Steelers could know in the immediate aftermath was that while O'Donnell was responsible for interception No. 1, it was the inexperienced Hastings who, in the final minutes, cost his team the victory with the errant route. Hastings later publicly blamed O'Donnell, kicking off a mini-war of words among ex-Steelers. "That definitely wasn't Neil's fault," says Tomczak. "He made a read and it was right. Mistakes were committed by other people. But the quarterback always gets blamed."
Though O'Donnell turned into Pittsburgh's No. 1 goat, Brown found gridiron salvation. Upon entering the locker room, he was greeted by an unruly serenade of "L.B.! L.B.! L.B.!" The 12th-round pick was now Super Bowl XXX's unlikely MVP. He would get the car and -- as a pending free agent -- a $12 million contract to join the Oakland Raiders.
Wrote Dan Shaughnessy in the Boston Globe: "(Brown) was like a backup catcher who wins a World Series game by getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He did almost nothing to earn the trophy. Twice Brown was standing in the open field, minding his own business, when an O'Donnell pass came his way. Both of his catches could easily have been made by Mike Greenwell, Jose Canseco, Charlie Brown or Downtown Julie Brown."
Few could argue.
"Man, Larry knows he's lucky," says Briggs, the Cowboy defensive back. "If I'm standing there like he was, minding my own business, I'm the Super Bowl MVP. Shoot, that would have been sweet."
Briggs pauses, taking a minute to reconsider.
"But you wanna know something," he says. "Larry was a great dude. And guys like that deserve to have their moments, too. So, God bless Larry Brown. God bless him."

Recently, I setup my Win7 notebook vhd dual-boot. (Copied old Win7 32bit into a vhd disk, repartition and installed new 64bit Win7 into another vhd as new primary system.)
How can I configure bcd to remember the last booted OS as default ? (with timeout)
Is it possible to do ?
Is there any alternative solution supporting vhd boot ?
Without "last selected as default", I had to watch console several times, while chkdisk C drive, for example. (chkdsk C: /f, reboot, select OS, chkdsk....done., reboot, timeout! & another os boot up, have to reboot again...) irritating. :-(
Before VHD multiboot, I used MBM to select boot partition. It can configure timeout, fixed default OS, last selected as default OS, within the boot menu itself ! It's quite handy.
I dislike the messy bcd system... (EasyBCD helps me a lot.)

Shooting range fires up land owners
Published: Friday, December 26, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 25, 2008 at 6:36 p.m.
Clara Johnson opens the oven and pulls out a pound cake at her Edneyville home. She sets the cake on a cooling rack and turns, looking out the window over the sink.
We never, never should have sold (that land) to them, Johnson said about the acreage where the North Carolina Justice Academy now sits, which she and her husband, Jody, sold to the county school system.
The Johnsons have lived in their home for 38 years. They recently invested nearly $100,000 to remodel the place and are worried about a proposed shooting range at the academy.
Before the academy operated a training facility on the land next to the Johnsons, the buildings housed Edneyville High School. When the Johnsons sold the school district the four and a half acres, a soccer field was planned.
Over time, the high school closed and the buildings were abandoned. Jody said unsavory people started hanging out on the vacant land, and he was worried. Ten years ago, the Justice Academy decided to open a western campus to train law enforcement professionals.
He said the Justice Academy has been a good neighbor and all of the unwanted people moved out as soon as the agency occupied the facility.
Now, however, academy officials propose building an outdoor shooting range, and the Johnsons are worried the land they sold to the district is being used as a buffer to justify building the new outdoor shooting range.
Jody said the entire Edneyville community will change if the outdoor shooting range is constructed. He does not want to see the character of the tiny community destroyed.
All this property around here will not be worth anything, and Edneyville will never be the same, Jody said.
Two weeks ago, Justice Academy officials held a public meeting about the proposed range. Nearly 200 residents showed up to the meeting and strongly voiced their opposition to the outdoor range. After the meeting, Justice Academy director Peggy Schaefer said she would consider an indoor pistol range, but the agency would need several million more dollars.
I can see doing all your training in one facility, but you cant do it here, Jody said. Its not possible. ... I am not going to let that happen.
Jody said an indoor pistol range is a good compromise. The facility would keep the noise contained and stop stay bullets.
An indoor range is fine, Jody said. If they dont have the money, they need to move on.
Jody and Claras son, Joey Johnson, grew up in the house where his father and mother live. He said the family will lose money if the outdoor range is constructed.
They are saving money, but at whose expense? Joey said. We are losing value. Who would want to buy a piece of property next to a firing range?
Joeys brother, Gary, lives in a house next door to the Johnsons.
Joey said his mother will suffer greatly if the outdoor range is built. She has arthritis and is often housebound. Clara said she was at the house when the Justice Academy did some test firing last month.
It was loud, very, very loud, Clara said.
Jody said his opposition to the outdoor range is not just about him the Edneyville community is a good place to live and he wants to see it grow and prosper.
The future of the whole community is gone if they put it in, Jody said. Its not me building a house next to a shooting range. My house was here.
Jody said he might pursue legal action if the outdoor shooting range is started. He said laws have to be in place that protect everyone from the intrusion of government.
Its a community thing, Jody said. Im gonna die soon. It dont make no difference to me. My granddaughters are gonna grow up here, and that is not right.

Standard Treatment Options for Stage IVB Cervical Cancer
Standard treatment options for stage IVB cervical cancer include the following:
- Palliative radiation therapy.
- Palliative chemotherapy.
Palliative radiation therapy
Radiation therapy may be used to palliate central disease or distant metastases.
Palliative chemotherapy
Multiple agents are associated with objective response rates, however, durable responses are rare.
Drugs used in stage IVB cervical cancer treatment are shown in Table 6.
Table 6. Drugs Used to Treat Stage IVB Cervical Cancer
|Drug Name
|Response Rate
|21% in patients previously treated with chemotherapy
Cisplatin in combination with other drugs
Single-agent cisplatin administered intravenously at 50 mg/m² every 3 weeks has been the regimen most often used to treat recurrent cervical cancer since the drug was initially introduced in the 1970's.[2] More recently, the GOG has reported on sequential randomized trials dealing with combination chemotherapy for stages IVB, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer.[8,12,13,14,15,16]
Evidence (cisplatin in combination with other drugs):
- GOG 110: The ifosfamide + cisplatin combination was superior to cisplatin alone in the secondary endpoint of response rates, but at the cost of increased toxicity.
- GOG 0179: The cisplatin + topotecan (CT) doublet combination had a significant advantage in overall survival (OS) compared with cisplatin alone, leading to approval of this indication for topotecan by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, cisplatin alone underperformed in this trial because as many as 40% of the patients had already received cisplatin up front as a radiosensitizer.[12]
- GOG 0169: The paclitaxel + cisplatin (PC) combination, similarly, was superior in response rates and progression-free survival (PFS), and its toxicity was similar to that of the single agent except in patients with GOG performance status 2 (scale: 0, asymptomatic-4, totally bedridden). Therefore, PC was chosen as the reference arm in GOG-0204 (NCT00064077).
- GOG-0204 enrolled 513 patients and compared four cisplatin-based doublet regimens. The trial was closed early because no one experimental arm was likely to significantly lower the hazard ratio of death relative to PC:[16]
- 1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-1.67) for vinorelbine + cisplatin (VC).
- 1.32 (95% CI, 0.91-1.92) for gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
- 1.27 (95% CI, 0.90-1.78) for CT. Trend in response rates, PFS, and OS favored CT.
- The patients in the various arms of the study differed in the extent of neutropenia, infection, and alopecia that they experienced,[16] but none of the patients in the study arms differed in health-related quality of life during treatment.[17] However, there were more neurologic side effects for PC.
- GOG-0240 (NCT00803062) was designed to answer the following two questions:[18]
- Can a nonplatinum combination show improvement over the standard of cisplatin-paclitaxel in this population that was previously treated with cisplatin during radiation therapy?
- Can the addition of bevacizumab improve combination chemotherapy in patients with stages IVB, persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer?
Patients were randomly assigned to the following four treatment arms:
- Cisplatin (50 mg/m2) + paclitaxel (135 mg/m2 or 175 mg/m2) on day 1 (PC).
- PC + bevacizumab (15mg/kg) on day 1.
- Topotecan (0.75 mg/m2) d1-d3 + paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) day 1 (PT).
- PT + bevacizumab (15mg/kg) on day 1.
Additional study methods and results included the following:
- The primary endpoint was OS, and 452 patients were evaluable.
- The combination PT was not superior to PC and had a hazard ratio (HR) for death of 1.2 (99% CI, 0.82-1.76). Previous exposure to platinum did not affect this result.
- The addition of bevacizumab to combination chemotherapy led to an improvement in OS: 17 months for chemotherapy plus bevacizumab versus 13.3 months for chemotherapy alone (HR, 0.71; 98% CI, 0.54-0.95), and extended PFS: 8.2 months for chemotherapy plus bevacizumab versus 5.9 months for chemotherapy alone, (HR, 0.67; CI, 0.54-0.82).
- The addition of bevacizumab was well tolerated and showed no difference in quality of life between the two groups.
- Patients on bevacizumab were more likely to have grade 3 or higher fistulae (6% vs. 0%), and grade 3 or higher thromboembolic events (8% vs. 1%) compared with patients on chemotherapy alone.
- As a result, the addition of bevacizumab may be considered for this patient population.

I don't rationalize Spektrum's rigid antenna but I do know what my rf system likes because it tells me. Antenna orientation has always been a problem. Many a plane have been lost when antenna was...
I can't do that because of location of my antenna but you are right as I found pointing away from my head to be the best overall regarding low rssi alert.
I have to agree with lightning here. My observations are close to the same.
On another note, the rf part of my system is cheap chinese but it has telemetry and starts beeping when rssi is getting...
Shore tis! I wondered where that Arrow went. I just had too many irons in the fire at the time, (still do). Into gliders now, slope, thermal, DS, aerotow.
Did you have any luck with it?
I see his point. It would look neat if the wheels would retract somehow leaving only the claws showing. (I don't think he was slamming the work done or at least I hope not)
Those were the days!! Thanks for the vid.......
Yes Matt, they do hop...no they are not like the "old Spektrum". I have been following the FrSky from almost day one, never heard anything about any bad pots.
Just wait till it's YOUR $200 bucks! I'll bet you scream like a pig!!! Just like the rest of us.
Funny, I'm getting the same run a round from HobbyPartz concerning a bad battery. The tend to hide behind the language/culture barrier thing...
Now the black handle with the yellow top on the lower rack is off kilter! Banned for 2 days :)
Its obvious....you went from an up wind which was pushing the plane up....to a down wind which is pushing the plane down....:rolleyes:
Makes as much sense as some of the answers I've seen here!
LOL! Thats why I fly little 3-10 pound gliders instead of 60# giant scale stuff anymore. Now I just watch. Competition was fun tho.
A hobby is fun, competition is work.....I'm retired and hate work!! But..I must say I like watching the top competitors work at having fun!:)
Absolutely agree...don't set yourself up for another lawsuit!
Maybe judge Judy?? :)
Perhaps, we don't know the cost of producing it, do we? I don't know it may be made in 3rd world country or not.
You can still be purchasing chinese junk. :)
I do believe the Taranis is intended for the entry level offering. I'm waiting for the mid and upper end transmitters they are supposed to be working on. Sort of look like euro style.
Because, in almost three years of flying with FrSky modules in my Futaba transmitters I have not a single problem so I would not be afraid to use them. The Taranis transmitter however is still having...

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Swimming's governing body responded to criticism that it refused to help a USA Swimming panel that was investigating Fran Crippen's death in an open-water race in the United Arab Emirates.
FINA's action Thursday came 24 hours after the American probe was published and report leader Dick Pound attacked the Swiss-based organization for its "inexplicable" lack of cooperation.
FINA insisted that its five-member investigating task force did have authority to share details about the death of the 26-year-old Crippen last October.
"It is empowered to exchange all information with the U.S. open-water review commission," FINA said in a statement without clarifying whether any information was shared.
FINA pointed out that USA Swimming chose two of the panel's five members: Australian open-water coach Greg Towle and American doctor Tobie Smith, a former open-water world champion.
"As soon as FINA's task force's report will be available, it will be considered by the bureau as to the necessary steps to be taken," swimming's world governing body said, though it did not commit to an expected July delivery at the world championships in Shanghai.
The official report already has been the subject of speculation regarding disagreements between FINA leaders and its task force.
The website Swimnews.com, written by a member of FINA's media arm, reported last week that a first draft was returned to be rewritten because its recommendations were too strong.
FINA said Thursday that it had already improved open-water safety with new rules similar to recommendations made by Pound's team, including a maximum water temperature of 88 degrees.
Crippen died after suffering from heat exhaustion near the finish of a 10-kilometer race, and it took about two hours to find his body. Some swimmers complained that the water was too hot and organizers didn't have enough safety workers or equipment.
FINA said it received the first recommendations from the American panel, whose work will continue, and that it "should be commended for its most useful contribution."
The governing body paid tribute to the American swimmer.
"FINA's first thoughts on this matter go to the Fran Crippen family and the terrible moments of grief and difficult times they are passing following the tragic loss of their beloved one," FINA said.

Hi, my Default Size of the Player is always 320x240. I can change it, but the play don't show the new size.
Any ideas?
Hi, my Default Size of the Player is always 320x240. I can change it, but the play don't show the new size.
Any ideas?
Same problem with me.
I'm getting this issue as well, no matter what I do the player defaults to 320 x 240. I guess it's an issue with swfobject.js. Any thoughts Alex?
Do you add the width/height to the shortcode ?
i.e. [media id=123 width=320 height=240]
I have this problem as well.
If I change the size with shortcode it'll work, but I'd like to not have to resort to that for every post.
[media id=123 width=320 height=240]
didn't work... also all new posts have the dimensions of 320X240 no matter what you specify for the default.
It looks like you took out the code that lets you set that manually, so I had to modify the dimensions with mysql.
I make extensive use of your plugin and appreciate your effort, but your latest release cost me a lot of time.
I'd put back the dimension settings in the "add media" menu or make the default settings ignore the height and width settings in the database.
I think the later would be better.
Thanks for the tool.
This is horrible that Wordtube 2.x only plays videos at 320x240 resolution. If I try to add custome size parameters like [media id=123 width=500 height=375], the latest post in the loop will play fine, but as soon as I post a new article with a new video file with custom size settings, the video in the prior article before that plays the same video as the newest article!!! This bug really should be fixed and please allow a working custom size by default.
I just updated my blog from 2.6 to 2.7 only yo use wordtube and suddenly it can not change size. So I would like to like to ask as like other here if it would be possible to look on this behavior in near future.
Kind regards,
Good work!
It's strange... When i put by hand [media id=1 width=120 height=120] it does not work, but when I click on a button above editing screen to put music with a wordtube window, i select my music, set width to 120 height to 120, it puts the same code I've put before by hand. But now... it works! Maybe something with special characters or something? But what characters, I use only brackets, equation and spaces.
Just don't have any clue... but hope this helps!
edit your css style sheet people.
object {
height: 60px !important;
change it to whatever you want. I know if you have a mix of videos and music, this will not work but you could even do something like this
in your post:

[media id="1"]

then your style sheet could be:
.video object {
height:300px !important;

[media id="1"]

you could do the same for music:
.music object {
height:60px !important;
Yes, so I must add div class to have styles player? It's better than put size in post, but still- don't like this solution too.
Well, Im not gonna fix the code. Thats just a quick fix I figured out to get it to work with my site. And its a really easy fix, so... Not sure how much easier you want it to get.
The problem is that in WordPress you can not put div into post. You must go to html view, and there put everytime a div. And I don't need to write it's not a good thing to do?
still not seeing the big deal... you click a tab and change type some stuff...
Yeah. Right.
On what licence is your plugin? Can I take it and create my own on basis?
If you spoke more clearly, I could help you better. I have no idea what you just said.
I would like to know if I can modify your plugins code and publish it as a new plugin. Therefore I would like to know on what licence you publish this plugin.
kind regards.
lol, its not my code! i was jusdt trying to help you
you wrote like you were a author :)
Hi - I had exactly the same problem.
Fixed it by changing the over-stretch setting to 'fit'. No idea why it works but it does.
Hope that helps.
Is "over-stretch" an attribute of the "media" shortcode or some css you've added to your theme?
in Version 2.2.2 the problem still exists, because the height/width is written into the database on every upload through add media=>wordtube.
Fixed it for me by changing the following code in file
line 83-84:
$act_width = 0; // change from 320 to 0
$act_height = 0; // change from 240 to 0
line 93-94: (add doubleslashes to those lines or delete them)
// if ($act_height < 20 ) $act_height = 20 ;
// if ($act_width == 0 ) $act_width = 320 ;
Then the default values set in the options menu will be taken.
Strange why this problem is still in the code.
Be aware that I did not test properly therefore I am sure there will be side-effects with other filetypes or whatever. But for .flv movies this works in the normal player.

What are the benefits of having a charge card? Am I missing something?
I was just approved for an Amex Zync, which initially had me excited because I was finally "in" with Amex. However, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered "how does a charge card really help me since I have to pay in full in each month?" I know it is always sound advice to only buy what you can pay for with cash, but, then, why not just pay cash in the first place (other than online purchases or something like that)? To me, the main benefit of credit cards is to have them for emergencies. For instance, if my car broke down, and I couldn't afford the pay the repair bill in one lump sum, credit would be nice. A charge card still would not solve the problem. It would "buy some time", but I would still have to pay for the repair in a lump sum.
Is there something I am missing? I could also see it being nice for business use or for someone who travels for work and gets reimbursed upon expense report submittal, but, other than that, I am having hard time getting excited about my Zync now since I won't be using it for anything like that.

I bought new Acer notebook. It comes with Windows 7 HP 64bit OEM. But I would like to fresh install it, and make dualboot with Ubuntu.
So, first, if I reinstalled Windows for another legal version, will it destroy warranty? If I had for example a different OS installed, do I still have warranty on whole notebook?
And second, is there a way to reinstall OEM Windows? Like downloading same copy and use OEM CD-Key on it?
Because, let's say my OS gets damaged somehow, and I can reinstall it myself, but I dont wan't to lose waranty or OEM license, and wait month to get notebook fixed by RMA. Is there a legal way to do it? Thanks.

We had a great stay at the apartment! It was quiet, clean and we got very good informations about the city and trips we could do. Every time again!
The flat was really clean and the rooms are cosy. We really enjoyed staying there. It was not complicated and really worth the price.
Everything was alright. Salvatore and his cousin Stephan have mad a lot of efforts that everyone would have a nice stay, they will help you with every question or fix any problem you have. They prepared a lot to make everything super easy (check-in, -out, location, maps, etc.) and especially their self-made tour i can recommend. Of course the apartment wasn't decorated as seen on the pictures, but overall the interior was as seen. You have everything you need for self catering and so the price is definitely very good. So we had a good stay and i'll come back for my next trip to Nice.
It was a great experience. The studio is clean and have a nice decoration. The location is perfect..we really enjoyed our holidays in this studio. The only thing its really Small and for tall people is not good.
The lady that received us was really really amazing and nice. I recomend this studio for young people who love travelling
Thanks! Great organization, nice location & flat with a lot of extras. We had a great time in Nice.
The appartment is really easy to find and fully equipped.
Whoever is looking for a cheap way to stay in Nice should consider this offer.
Very nice located ans equipped apartment.
Clean and good looking appartment in walking distance to the historic city center. With two keys available, perfect for our weekend trip.
The appartment was small but had everything we needed.

I recently started to try posting directly from Fickr to my blog. Flickr gives me an error. But when I go and look at my blog, there is the image.
I suppose I need not worry as it works even though it says it does not. But I wonder, has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

Audio Rorschach
Their goofy name comes from an old Creedence tune. Two of their members--singer/guitarist Brian Vanderwerf and guitarist Jesse Tomlinson--come from roots-punk hard-asses the Midnight Evils, voted Best Live Band in these pages not long ago. And their sound comes largely from '70s rock of the hard and fast variety. But based at least on seeing Chooglin' open for Soul Asylum this past December (they played their first show in late November), the group isn't egregiously or self-consciously retro. They don't bother with Me Decade visual trappings, and treat their influences playfully rather than ironically (or reverently). Most importantly, of course, they rock in the manner of a hurricane or tornado or some such natural power. The lyrics, I haven't been able to make out yet. For some insight into Vanderwerf's tastes, we sat around his Uptown apartment, played some records, and talked about them.
Marty Robbins, "Don't Worry," available on The Essential Marty Robbins (Columbia) and other collections
Brian Vanderwerf: Well, it was great. Of course the fart-guitar solo is really great, and it comes out of nowhere.
City Pages: Yeah, and that's 1961. It's rare enough to have a fuzz-tone guitar on a country single, but to have it on a record from '61.
Vanderwerf: There's the solo from [George Jones's] "The Race Is On," which isn't really fuzz, but it has a similar effect.
Deep Purple, "Space Truckin'," from Machine Head
Vanderwerf: [Right away] "Space Truckin'." Even if you don't like metal, you've got to love this song. And Machine Head is their finest hour. I had it on eight-track back when I was a kid. Ian Case's drumming is really tight, even his rolls are precise. [Hums along to instrumental passage] You know it's a good song when you can remember all the little parts.
Fiona Apple, "O Sailor," from Extraordinary Machine
Vanderwerf: Fiona Apple?
CP: Yeah.
Vanderwerf: I'm not a huge fan, but I'm not really a fan of much major-label stuff now. I'm really suspect of it. But it was fine. It's a good song. The way it was recorded--it's slick but relatively sparse. I guess I kind of lump her in with Tori Amos-- stuff I don't really relate to, not just what she's singing about, but the music itself. Not that my tastes are that narrow.
Drunk Horse, "Strange Transgressors," from In Tongues
Vanderwerf: Sounds like modern-day Foghat. It's all right. I don't think I'd ever sit around and jam it. You know, I don't know exactly what we're doing with [Chooglin']. It's so new. I suppose we might tend to have a little bit of that sound, but I don't want to turn into some Famous Dave's white-boy blues band. We're trying to do different stuff.
CP: I did kind of pick this tune because there are a lot of bands now playing indie-rock clubs who are drawing heavily on '70s hard rock, and you're kind of doing that.
Vanderwerf: I guess part of it comes naturally. That's how [Jesse] plays guitar. The band will probably evolve. We're trying to find a keyboard player or an organ player. At first we kind of set out to be more of a Faces-meets-Deep Purple thing, but it's hard to find a keyboardist that knows where we're coming from and wants to tour, too.
This song was fine, but I kind of like things a bit more chaotic, a bit more off the rails.
Ali Hassan Kuban, "Habibi," from The Rough Guide to Ali Hassan Kuban
Vanderwerf: This is the kind of thing I'd be more likely to listen to. There's not a lot of difference between this and James Brown. When I first started to write songs, I had no understanding of what I was doing, but I'd think, How many chords do I have in this song? How many parts? So I like how this song doesn't move--it pretty much stays in one groove, but they keep layering on it.
CP: You have to be in a really collaborative band to get this good at polyrhythmic complexity.
Vanderwerf: Right. Playing with [drummer] Shawn [Walker]--he's really terrific. People say he reminds them of Keith Moon...
CP: Well, he kind of looks like Keith Moon.
Vanderwerf: But he also has--no matter how hard he hits--he has a lot of swing, he's not just bashing. And there's also this groove there, too.
Lightning Bolt, "2Morrow Morrow Land," from Hypermagic Mountain
Vanderwerf: This is a little too 93X for my tastes, just how compressed it is and how the low end sounds. Is this Joe Satriani?
CP: It's Lightning Bolt.
Vanderwerf: Oh, is it? [Laughs] My friends are gonna kill me. I like the noisy parts. It's not 93X as far as the tempo. [Screaming section comes on] Oh yeah, this is definitely not Satriani. They're probably one of those bands that would be fucking great to see live, but I'd have to be in the right mood to want to listen to it, and lately I haven't been listening to anything terribly loud. Though I might throw on British Steel by Judas Priest.
Waylon Jennings, "Waymore's Blues," from Dreaming My Dreams
Vanderwerf: Well, of course this is genius [plays along on acoustic guitar].
CP: Have you been into him for a long time?
Vanderwerf: I'd say in the last six years I've really gotten into him. When I was a kid I kind of loathed all that stuff. I saw him, not the last time he played here, but the time before. He couldn't walk, but he still sang 45 minutes, sitting down. He did "Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan.
The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet, "Anyhow," from The Gospel Sound (Columbia)
Vanderwerf: I love gospel music. That's another thing I've gotten into more recently. You can hear some Elvis in there. I love the way these records sound--the drum sounds like a drum, the voices sound like voices. And it's just guys standing around one mic--and nailing it.
