What's cooler than a cool character defending a bridge from an onslaught of bad guys?
TWO cool characters defending bridges from an onslaught of bad guys!
From The Mighty Thor #362 (written and drawn by Walt Simonson) and Starman (Volume 2) #11 (written by James Robinson and drawn by Matthew Smith), enjoy….two cool scenes of people defending bridges!!!
Thor #362…
and Starman #11….
Pretty awesome, huh?
Skurge's Last Stand is one of the best scenes that I've read on a comic book. That last page always gives me goosebumps.
Starman is also great, of course
See, for me it's not the last page that gives me goosebumps, instead, it's the shot of him standing alone preparing for battle and the line "perhaps he has waited all his life for this one moment." Even today, wow.
The Skurges last stand is nearly exactly the type of moment that all great storylines should strive to have, anyone that doesn't feel emotion during that scene is not alive.
Wow, that Thor one was FANTASTIC!! That's some good comics.
Simonson had the best Thor run ever. I'll grant that Kirby was the better artist, but Simonson did a much better job writing Thor than Stan Lee did.
I'm selling a big box of Thor comics at our garage sale tomorrow. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make, as far as which comics I need to say goodbye to. The Surtur Saga and a good run of the books before and after were really great reads.
"He stood alone at Gjallerbru… and that answer is enough."
Even without the several issues of set up, and even though I've read this comic at least fifty times, I still got choked up reading this. That's a damned fine comic book.
I'm a sucker for last stands, and Skurge's is one of the best. I've not yet gotten around to reading the Simonson run, but that's one of the issues from it that I've gotten a chance to read. In this case it was when it was reprinted in the Thor: God Sized Special for a year or so ago.
What can I say that hasn't already been said– Simonson's THOR friggin' CLASSIC!
I think the Starman one suffers from being placed after the Thor one and should have been placed first instead. The Starman one is a quaint little moment but the Thor one is like the crescendo of an epic. It's not an easy act to follow.
Wow, it doesn't matter how many years it's been since I read it the first time or how many times I've read it. I'm still unable to read that Skurge sequence without getting a little misty-eyed. It ranks awfully high in the best comics scenes I've ever read.
ie Thor….Snorri couldn't have written it better. I think I spelled his name right….many years since I read Norse mythology.
The Hourman battle from Starman is epic.
I also quite enjoy the bridge battle from a recent arc of Secret Six. Especially once Bane takes the venom again.
Both are unforgettable classics.
A toast to Simonson and Robinson (their last names rhymes!) and may they aspire legions of writers wanna-bes.
That should have been "inspire" not aspire.
I never heard of this Thor story until last year, when I first saw a bit of it in one of your other columns. It really is pretty inspiring, now that I see more of it. I'm still wondering why he was armed with guns, though. It seems so out of place.
So was Simonson directly inspired by Livy's account of Horatius?
If you had wanted a totally different sort of cool for the second scene, you could've used the scene of Groo guarding the bridge in Marvel's first Groo issue. I really loved that part.
Can only echo what's gone before. Read Skurge's Last Stand a hundred times but man, it still hits like a sock full of grit. Walt Simonson Rocks.
I bet an entire series of cool last stands could be done, but it's hard to find any that would top Skurge defending the bridge.

"To be a disciple, a fully-devoted follower, of Jesus, you must be wholly committed to Him above everyone and everything else."
I love digging into scripture, talking about my faith, and just hanging out with people. I am engaged to the love of my life, and have been blessed with the greatest woman in the history of the universe to do life with. in September 2010 I surrendered to God's call on my life to vocational ministry. What that looks like specifically is what I am still trying to discern. But I am looking at attending Seminary after I finish my undergrad degree to earn a Masters of Divinity (M.Div.). And I am praying that God will lead me in whatever way He can use me to better His kingdom and that I will have the strength and courage to follow Him daily wherever that road leads.

text: This morning's 0.15.3+ development snapshot is up: http://armedbear.org/j.zip (source) http://armedbear.org/j-jar.zip (just j.jar) This snapshot adds syntax highlighting support for here documents in Ruby mode, and removes support for triple-quoted strings (an artifact of Ruby mode's Python mode ancestry) since triple-quoted strings aren't legal in Ruby. This snapshot also fixes indentation in PHP mode in the presence of multi-line quoted strings (Samo's example). Files that start with "<?" followed by whitespace (as opposed to "<?xml", for example) now default to PHP mode, like files that start with "<?php". Finally, j now auto-indents the following code correctly in C mode (similar code should also be handled correctly in the other C-like modes): int main() { int i = 10; if (i) while (i) { printf("i=%d\n",i--); } return 0; } Thanks for your support. -Peter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the environmental term. For the photography term, see Color grading.
Regrading is the process of grading for raising and/or lowering the levels of land. Such a project can also be referred to as a regrade.
Regrading may be done on a small scale (as in preparation of a house site)[2] or on quite a large scale (as in major reconfiguration of the terrain of a city, such as the Denny Regrade in Seattle).[1]
Regrading is typically performed to make land more level (flatter), in which case it is sometimes called levelling.[3]) Levelling can have the consequence of making other nearby slopes steeper, and potentially unstable or prone to erosion.
Reasons for regrading include:
- Enabling construction on lands that were previously too varied and/or steeply sloped.[2]
- Enabling transportation along routes that were previously too varied and/or steep.[1]
- Changing drainage patterns and rerouting surface flow.[2]
- Improving the stability of terrain adjacent to developments.[4]
Potential problems and consequences from regrading include:
- Soil and/or slope instability
- Terrain prone to erosion
- Ecological impacts, habitat destruction, terrestrial and/or aquatic biological losses.[2]

Collaboration involves stakeholders and the public in a process of consensus building to address some of the most difficult environmental management problems facing society today. Collaborative groups vary widely, ranging from small watershed councils to regional ecosystem collaboratives to groups addressing large-scale policy issues. While these collaboratives all match the common principles of collaboration, a closer examination reveals many differences. Using institutional theories about levels of decision making provides a way of classifying collaboratives along a spectrum from action level to organizational level to policy level. This typology is applied to thirty-six collaboration case studies in Australia and the United States that were investigated over a series of years through interviews, observation, document analysis, and surveys. The application reveals different tendencies among the case types in terms of population, size, problem significance, institutional setting, and focus of activities. The typology also reveals functional differences in the types of stakeholders involved, the management arrangements for implementation, and the approaches to implementing change. This typology can help practitioners better understand the challenges and appropriate types of collaborations for different settings. It helps highlight differences in the role of government and decentralization of power. It distinguishes the different theoretical foundations for different types of collaboratives. Finally, it elucidates the different evaluation approaches for different types of collaboratives.

I am using latest version of WP.
I have my website (www.thetinylife.com) setup so the home page is just the normal recent blog posts (the default setup).
I added a page called resources, changed the order to "5" to put it at end of navigation bar. It went smoothly.
Went to my website,I punched in http://www.thetinylife.com, now it will instantly send you to http://www.thetinylife.com/resources, which is the page I just added. If I click "home" it will just loop me back to the page resources.
I tried changing the order, making it private, making it a draft, deleting it, nothing restores it back. The post that I have made are still accessible if I go directly to them. Under setting I check to see what it had designated for "home" and it is set to recent posts (default).
Any ideas?


text: Texas Industries Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Another potential earnings short-squeeze trade is heavy construction materials supplier Texas Industries ( TXI), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Texas Industries to report revenue of $186.66 million on a loss of 7 cents per share. This stock has been uptrending very strong in 2012, with shares up around 40%. This bullish price action has shares of Texas Industries trending just a few points off its 52-week high of $45.68 a share ahead of its report. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Texas Industries is very high at 18.6%. That means that out of the 12.63 million shares in the tradable float, 3.88 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 2.6%, or by about 99,000 shares. If the bears are caught leaning too hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop post-earnings. From a technical perspective, TXI is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been trending within a sideways trading pattern for the last two months and change, with shares bouncing between $38.14 on the downside and $45.68 on upside. A move outside of that trading range post-earnings will likely setup the next major trend for TXI. If you're in the bull camp on TXI, then I would wait until after its earnings report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $44.54 to $45.68 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 291,108 shares. If we get that breakout, then TXI will setup to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $46.27 to $47.15 a share. If those areas get cleared post-earnings, then TXI will likely trade north of $50 a share. I would simply avoid TXI or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then moves back below its 50-day moving average of $56.32 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then RHT will setup to re-test or possibly take out its 200-day moving average of $52.91 a share post-earnings. Prev 4 of 6 Next

In the Heat of the Night
Andre Rison Still Loves Rapper Lisa Lopes, Even Though She's Charged with Torching His House
It is hard to believe, but the voice Rison, 27, longs to hear belongs to his girlfriend, Lisa Lopes, 23, a singer with the hot hip-hop group TLC, who just four days earlier had shown Rison anything but tender loving care. In the early hours of June 9, after they had fought and Andre walked out, Lopes allegedly put a match to cardboard in the upstairs whirlpool bath of Rison's million-dollar Atlanta mansion, destroying it, along with just about everything Andre owned. Then for good measure, she reportedly smashed his Toyota truck and two Mercedes-Benz cars.
According to her lawyer Darryl Cohen, Lopes—who has been charged with felony arson and is out on $75,000 bail—had been beaten and abused. "Lisa is in fear of her life," says Cohen of the rapper whose debut album, Oooooooh...on the TLC Tip, which sold 2.8 million copies, featured songs about standing up to macho men.
Rison flatly denies ever abusing her. "It hurts me," he says, "because I'm not like that. We did everything together—shopped, cooked, laughed, cried, went to nightclubs, parks, functions..."
One of the top receivers in pro football, Rison met Lopes in March 1993. "It didn't matter to me that she was a celebrity," he says. "It was just her that I loved." Even before the fire, however, the couple had a combustive relationship. Last September, Rison was arrested in a supermarket parking lot for allegedly beating Lopes and firing a handgun to discourage others from intervening. Charges were later dropped.
Lately, though, Rison claims to have toned down his act—even to have become something of a homebody. Yet on the night of June 8, Rison went out clubbing with friends. Rison insists, however, that he was "very sober" at 5 a.m., when he finally made it home.
Lisa, he says, was already out in the driveway screaming at him. "I knew she'd been drinking some," he says. "But I didn't know what was upsetting her. I started taking blows to the face. Finally, I grabbed her and asked her what was wrong. But she kept coming at me."
Rison says he eventually slapped Lopes, "not to hurt her, but to calm her. Didn't work. We were inside the house now, and I picked her up and slammed her on the bed and sat on her. I still couldn't control her. So I left. I went on a 20-mile walk."
Meanwhile, back at the house, things apparently went from bad to worse. Reggie Brown, Rison's brother, reportedly saw her standing over the whirlpool, watching the flames grow higher and shouting, "I don't care anymore!"
Rison spent the morning at the house of teammate Jason Phillips, still unaware of what had happened. Then around 9 a.m., Jason's wife, Jeanette, drove him home. "There were all these fire trucks," says Rison. "I couldn't believe it. I just sat down and cried."
That night, Andre rode his motorcycle to the Falcons training camp in Suwanee, about 40 miles north of Atlanta. En route, he says, he thought briefly about swerving into the expressway median. "It was like I'd gone the full limit," he says.
On Friday, Lopes turned herself in to Atlanta police. She won't talk to the press. But her mother, Wanda, who reared Lisa in Philadelphia, describes her as a "real caring person." Wanda denies that her daughter has a hot temper. But on June 15, lawyer Cohen announced that Lisa had "voluntarily entered a rehabilitation program." A person close to Lopes said it was for alcohol abuse.
Andre, meanwhile, feels a sense of loss. Sitting beside the field in Suwanee, he is talking about Lisa and his tattoos. "This one we designed together," he says, pointing to a snake surrounding a musical note.
"I have cried a lot," Andre continues. "But I can't say that I've shed one tear for the house. I can replace a house, but I can't replace the life I had, or a certain girl."

Special to ESPN.com
Editor's note: ESPN television anchor Kenny Mayne went to the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia last weekend on a mission to meet Stevie Wonder. The following is his report.
I violated my grandmother's admonition to chew each steak bite 30 times. I ate that 12-ounce ribeye like a dog. Because Stevie Wonder was waiting. Stevie just didn't know this yet.
It was Friday, July 1. My camera crew had been hired while the steaks were on the grill. My plane trip was booked just after I cut up the children's meat. I had 75 minutes to make the last flight to Philadelphia. I live 35 minutes from the airport. And I hadn't packed yet. What did Gra-Mayne know? She hadn't lived long enough to hear "Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants."
The hastened departure would make sense to any Stevie Wonder fan. And even more sense to one who is playing in the "Legends-Celebrities Softball Game" at All-Star week in Detroit, Stevie's hometown. Shareholders might differ with the plan my boss had rubber-stamped -- but I was commissioned to fly to Philadelphia to try to secure Live 8 media credentials (which had been cut off due to overcapacity) with the hope of somehow getting Wonder to tape a greeting to be used in our softball game broadcast on ESPN. Even with media credentials, lightning would have to strike for us to get Stevie to come to the media tent after his performance at Live 8. And lightning would have to strike again for me to convince his people that Stevie should give an endorsement of our meaningless game.
But it was worth a shot.
"But what I'd like to know, is could a place like this exist so beautiful? Or do we have to take our wings and fly away to the vision in our mind?"
-- Stevie Wonder, "Visions"
It was 5:45 a.m., and it seemed like as good a time as any to wake up on Saturday morning. The credentials office opened at 6 a.m. I was told there might be passes for me and my crew if some others were turned back. I was the third man in line. I acted like I belonged. I'll never know if they accidentally pulled my name from the waiting list, or if the man in charge had just shown some mercy and validated my Live 8 existence. But by 6:15, I had three media passes. I called the crew at 7 a.m. and told them to meet me at my hotel.
I was feeling some amount of shame for trying to use Stevie's presence at Live 8 for my own personal gain. But I rationalized that I'd already donated money to refugees in Sudan and had advocated for Africa when I had the chance to meet some of President Bush and Senator Kerry's people during the election.
Now that I could live with myself, I did everything possible to upgrade my privileges at Live 8.
By 10:30 a.m., I was backstage. Thank God for the good men of the Teamsters. If not for them, the stage in Philadelphia used to implore the G8 leaders to stand up and take action never would have been built. And I wouldn't have been standing on it. With my pass that now said "crew" and my metallic wristband that said to any security guard that I belong, I was getting closer to Stevie.

Your winter survival plan: Warming House hot cocoa truck
Zac and Jill Stafford are a special Minnesota breed of crazy. When asked what would send them out onto the icy streets in the dead of winter in a converted food truck just to freeze their bits off, they answered: Sharing steaming rich cups of liquid chocolate topped with marshmallows handcrafted with only the finest ingredients. Sounds like our kind of crazy.
Zac explained further, "I'm in love with food trucks in general. It's so much fun to wander outside with a group and get food." Plus, he said, "We're outdoorsy people. We hike, we cross country ski. We were snow-shoeing out at Fort Snelling and when we got done realized that we wanted something to eat and drink."
Warming us right down to our toes

From there, Jill rolls the marshmallows in all manner of delightful flavor enhancers, like graham crackers for a drinkable s'more, pretzels, and crushed nuts. Zac's pulling for a Fruit Loops add in, but we have two words: Cap'n Crunch. Truthfully, the possibilities are endless. Jill has been so possessed by the idea that one night she jumped out of bed at midnight because she simply had to make another batch.
The two are getting creative with the chocolate flavors as well. Thanks to their commercial kitchen space inside Verdant Tea (which alsopartners with Sweet Science Ice Cream
for tea and ice cream hybrids), the duo have had a chance to try such exotic flavors as a Roobios chai chocolate. "I'd never heard of that," Zac said. "Chocolate and chai? It wasso
Toasty truck

To take their hot chocolate to the masses, the Staffords found a truck from an artist in Wisconsin. It has more than a few quirks. The gas gauge bobbles back and forth, not actually gauging anything, the side door doesn't quite close, and there's a roving side mirror that roams back and forth, offering the occupants a full view of the countryside as they drive through it.

U.K. FSA Fines Photo-Me 500,000 Pounds for Disclosure Failures
Photo-Me International Plc, a maker of photo mini-labs, was fined 500,000 pounds ($742,000) by the U.K. securities regulator for failing to quickly disclose inside information to the market, creating a "false market."
From September to December 2006, announcements by Surrey, England-based Photo-Me created expectations "it would benefit from the winning of large mini-lab sales contracts and strong mini-lab sales generally," the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority said in a statement today.
In January 2007, Photo-Me was told it was one of several firms competing for the contract and in February realized it's revised mini-lab forecast was lower than it initially expected. In March of that year, the company said its earnings would miss forecasts, driving its shares down 24 percent, the FSA said.
The FSA said the delay in disclosing the revised outlook led to a "false market" in the company's shares for 44 days.
"Listed companies should assess, in a timely fashion, how any information they hold affects the accuracy of what they have previously disclosed to the market and whether this information is inside information," Margaret Cole, the FSA's director of enforcement said in the statement. "Inside information must be announced to the market as soon as possible."
Photo-Me disputed the FSA's claim it didn't act quickly enough, while saying it wouldn't appeal the agency's fine.
"The FSA has underestimated the real-time difficulties faced by the company in updating the market on the possible outcome of the relevant complex contractual negotiations," Photo-Me said in a statement today. "However, the board has decided it is not in the best interests of shareholders to incur further legal costs" to pursue an appeal.
On June 17 Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said he will abolish the Financial Services Authority and give most of its power to the Bank of England, undoing the regulatory system set up by Gordon Brown in 1997.
The FSA has recently beefed up regulation following complaints it did little to detect the financial crisis. The regulator won three of the four insider-trading prosecutions it has brought to trial.

there are alot
I think that the one that ticks me off the most isn't really a rumour it's just all the talk about his hairline. It drives me crazy. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It's just a bunch of jealous, ignorant people.
the one during the postseason saying he wasnt clutch. the guy scored 45points, had 15rebounds, and dished out 5assists when the heat were down 3-2 in BOSTON. if thats not clutch idk wat is!!!!! and in 3 series the heat were down in the games won, pacers were up 2-1, boston up 3-2, and thunder up 1-0 and lebron put his team on his back and carried them through each series and kept going till he could call himself a champion!
the one about his hairline
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy
i think the worst i heard is him cheating on his wife, hopefully its not true, they are high school sweethearts
The rumor about Lebron's mom and Delonte West is really annoying because it has nothing to do with Lebron's gameplay only that he USED to play with Delonte West.

I'm from close to delaware (west chester). Close enough that I do my tax free shopping there. Go to TargetMaster every now and again too.
Do you carry in DE? Any experience with open carry there?

Hello. I am new to the forum and wanted to know if anyone else was from Delaware, or even close to it.
I usually shoot at Ommelanden just south of New Castle. It's a State-run range, but it's pretty decent, and they offer a lot of different shooting "options."
I've also been up to TargetMaster, just over the DE/PA border on 202.
I have travelled to get to a meet before, so that's not a big deal for me.
Hope to hear from someone who's close to my area. Maybe we could meet, chat, go shooting, and then have some grub and drinks. Sound like a fun day?

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Ah, West Chester. That's pretty close. Just up 202 over the border a little ways from me. I've been to TargetMaster a few times myself. Bought 2 of my 3 handguns there actually.
Yeah, I do like the tax-free thing. When I visit PA and buy something, i'm like "what? Why's it more than the price tag? Oh, tax. right.
I don't carry here yet. I do plan on getting my permit though, soon, before the wrong people get into office.
Open carry? Here? Bwwwahahahahahaaaaa!!! No way. Delaware seems a bit "slow" when it comes to guns. Heck, we have to advertise our concealed carry permit application in the freakin' newspaper as the first step to getting one in the first place. How's that for stupid?
Hope to meet you someday, and go shooting. It's nice to hear from someone close by.
Thanks for the post!
Hi Dave....I'm not originally from DE, but I was stationed at Dover AFB...and one of my children was born there.
How is DE these days?
USAF: Loving Our Obscene Amenities Since 1947
Delaware, the only state East of the Mason Dixon Line.
I am one of the half dozen Delaware natives.
Delaware has a bill pending in the House to make it a "shall issue" state, but there has been so many poison pill amendments added that passage is in doubt.
Glad to see another Delawarean here!Originally Posted by RLS
Delaware is also the only State that uses an actual semi-circlular boundary in the USA. No other state has a boundary (or part of a boundary) that is actually generated from a true radius. Yeah, I know: why do I know such meaningless things? Well, I had to research that boundary's history for work today, and find maps and laws about it. Quite interesting how much argument there actually was about some State boundaries. Actually, DE and NJ have argued their boundary just THIS year! And it has to do with that radial boundary. Anyway... I digress......
That bill has so much opposition, it isn't funny. Basically everyone says "the policy ain't broke - so why try to fix it?" Well, from my point-of-view, it's REALLY broken. I want to legally arm myself to protect me and my family. And I have to advertise that fact to the public? And I can be denied becasue a judge had a bad lunch that day? Geez, gimme a break. I've witnessed shootings (one right outside my window), and have read enough police reports to almost be afraid to go out WITHOUT a firearm. Why must the State be so difficult and against citizens arming themselves legally?
If I lived just over the border, I could easily get a permit to carry. Other states allow open carry (technically most do, but would never really allow it in this day and age). But Delaware? Ugh!!

My app needs to download a decent amount of contents from a server to be able to be functional.
Apple guidelines about data storage mentions that this kind of data, "needed-to-work-but-easily-refetchable" shouldn't be included in iCloud/iTunes backups: fair enough.
The tricky part is that the code to prevent a directory to be backed up is different between iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.1 (cf. this technical note).
My app currently supports iOS 5.0 as a deployment target.
What should I do between the different following options:
- set the deployment target to 5.1 (straight-forward but i can't find data about proportion of users still being in iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1 to be comfortable introducing the subject to my boss)
- implementing both 5.0.1 and 5.1 codes provided by Apple but it raises some issues:
- my usual way to detect if a device is running a speficic iOS version is to use respondsToSelector: with a selector introduced in the iOS version i'm targeting but iOS 5.1 seems to introduce constants and not-universal classes only. How to be sure i'm running iOS 5.1 or later?
- what about devices running iOS 5.0? storing data into Caches would be super annoying to deal with both for the development team and the user experience
Any other option to recommend?

D'Souza Pleads Guilty to Violating Campaign Finance Law
Conservative political commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza, who made the film "2016: Obama's America," pleaded guilty to violating U.S. campaign finance law by using straw donors to exceed federal limits.
D'Souza's guilty plea came on the day he was to begin trial on felony charges that he illegally reimbursed two close associates for contributing a total of $20,000 in 2012 to U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long, a New York Republican. Federal law limits campaign contributions to $5,000 per individual in an election cycle.
D'Souza, of San Diego, had claimed that he was singled out for prosecution because of his views opposing President Barack Obama. The Federal Election Commission usually files civil claims in cases such as his, D'Souza said. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called the claim of selective prosecution baseless.
"We will investigate and prosecute violations of federal law, particularly those that undermine the integrity of the democratic electoral process, without regard to the defendant's political persuasion or party affiliation," Bharara said in a statement. "That is what we did in this case and what we will continue to do."
Sentencing Guidelines
D'Souza's lawyers and the government agreed in a hearing today in Manhattan before U.S. District Judge Richard Berman that sentencing guidelines, which aren't binding, call for him to get as long as 16 months in prison. Berman allowed D'Souza to remain free on bail before sentencing, scheduled for Sept. 23.
"Given the technical nature of the charge, there was no viable defense," D'Souza's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement after today's hearing. He said he hoped the judge would recognize "Mr. D'Souza to be a fundamentally honorable man who should not be imprisoned for what was an isolated instance of wrongdoing in an otherwise productive and responsible life."
The best-selling writer was also charged with causing Long's organizers to file inaccurate campaign-finance reports. Long, a friend who attended Dartmouth College with D'Souza, lost the race to Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand.
Berman last week rejected an attempt by D'Souza to have the charges dismissed.
"I knew that causing a campaign contribution to be made in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids," D'Souza said at today's hearing. "I deeply regret my conduct."
Government Witnesses
Long and the alleged straw donors likely would've been called to testify for the government at trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Carrie Cohen told Berman today.
"I am heartbroken about this," Long said in a statement today. "Dinesh has always been completely generous with everyone he meets. There was never a time when he was trying to do anything but help me personally, support my U.S. Senate campaign, and advance the ideals of freedom that we share."
Long said the statute used to prosecute D'Souza is unconstitutional and called the case "a shameful government overreach." She said she had been subpoenaed by prosecutors and wouldn't have willingly testified against D'Souza.
A 1983 graduate of Dartmouth, D'Souza served as a policy analyst for the late President Ronald Reagan and as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He was president of The King's College in New York City from 2010 to 2012, according to his website.
The case is U.S. v. D'Souza, 14-cr-00034, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Got this costume? Want your photo to appear here? Tag your Instagrams with @jokersmasquerade and #jokers73662. How do I tag my photos?
You'll have the best skeleton costume this Halloween if you wear our Glow in the Dark Skeleton Morphsuit! This cool outfit is printed with skeleton bones that glow under UV light, making it perfect for clubbing!
So what are Morphsuits? Morphsuits are a unisex all-in-one spandex suit that cover the whole of your body from head to toe. They have been specially designed so that you can breathe through them, see through them, drink through them (only water of course!), and even better nobody can see you.
If needed you can easily free your head by un-zipping and pulling the hood forward.
There are a number of imitation "Morphsuits" currently on the market however these imitations have proved to be badly made and never last long. The Official Morphsuit far excels these fakes in quality and durability.
Stand out from the crowd at festivals, stag-do's, football games and more. The list of possibilities for a Morphsuit is endless.
So, now you know about how it works and its superior quality, all you need to decide is what colour are you going to wear and what will you do in it?
We recommend using a wig cap with this product, so that the top of the costume will fit easily over your head.
Important Note:Like many luminescent products, you need to expose the costume either to [a] bright light and then enter a dark room or [b] the dark room must have black light. Think of a watch face by the side of your bed. You wake up at 3.00am and you will not see the hands or the face of the watch. However, expose it to light and then the dark and voilà, the luminosity shines through. This is what you need to do with this glow-in-dark skeleton costume, simples!
Sizes for this costume are:
November 25, 2015, by Dylan C - Middlesex, UK - United Kingdom
Service and delivery were excellent. Only negative is that the suit didn't glow as much as I hoped. Compared to the bright green as illustrated in the ad and packaging it was a disappointment.
November 6, 2013, by Stewart P - Gwent, UK - United Kingdom
6' athletic build, great fit for me. Visibility isn't great in the dark, but the glow is! Due to the way it is folded, some slight damage to the glow material, but very minor (peel apart slowly).
November 28, 2012, by Peter G - Morayshire, UK - United Kingdom
An excellent glow-in-the dark suit!

Yahoo! is preparing a customized campaign for a specific publication with a series of contextual ads for the Oct. 6 issue of The New Yorker. You can read more about it on AdWeek.
Someone says it's humorous, someone else claims it's cruel and not funny at all. The online video ad developed by Ford to promote it's new SportKa has raised a lot of noise. It was supposed to be a viral marketing effort, so maybe this is the perfect result Ford wanted to reach… You can see the ad online at: http://www.the-eviltwin.co.uk/ Or read more on Revolution Magazine and Ananova. Sorry guys but comments are now closed. The discussion was going in the wrong way.
AdAge reports that, led by financial services and telcom companies, online ad spending continues to rise. Those two sectors increased their ad spending by $100 million from the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of this year. The stats are provided by Nielsen/NetRatings.
Esure, a UK based online insurance firm has launched a new email marketing campaign to promote its its car and home insurance services. Brand Republic reports that the campaign, which features personalised email messages has been developed by Inbox Media, following the style of Esure current press ads. Chris Bowden, marketing manager of Esure, said:"Initial feedback is extremely good and I am confident that this unique approach to financial services marketing will really hit the spot with consumers."
British Airways will sponsor the upcoming Rugby World Cup 2003 and will use a viral game to let people know about it. Revolution Magazine reports what Jayne O'Brien, head of BA's UK and Ireland marketing, said:"We're hoping that players will be so enamoured by it that they will send it on to friends, family and colleagues and spread the word".
This sounds so na�ve… Well, Mrs O'Brien, the game will go online on October 6th, let's wait and see if it's worth spreading the word
Surf the Web and get a coupon for a free ice cream. That's the idea of Boston.com and the ice cream maker Brigham's Inc.. DMNews.com explains the campaign idea, quoting Stephanie Shore, director of marketing at Boston.com:"We were trying to develop a case study for our retail advertisers about how effective online advertising can be in driving offline activity. Brigham's was extremely pleased with the promotion, and they saw a lot of new faces."
Redemption rates were, in fact, pretty high: almost 10 percent of the 56,719 page views of the coupon.
Revolution Magazine reports of a new integrated marketing campaign (guerrilla style) launched by Asics to promote its 70s basketball shoe "Fabre". The idea has been developed by the Dutch Agency BlueberryFrog and features the "Afro Octopus" Fastbreak Olly, as main character in an online slam dunk advergame. The best player will win a pair of the shoes… A "must" for a basketball fan (and player) like me
Advertisers plan to put significantly more money into rich and streaming media in the next year, BUT… they are concerned about ROI and high costs. IAR reports the results of a recent survey by Jupiter Research on rich and streaming media. Rich media will account 11% of online ad spending in 2004, while streaming media will growth up to 4%. In 2005, rich media will represent 15 percent of online ad spending, and streaming will account for 6 percent.
Mazda goes online with a brand new viral campaign to promote Mazda 6 range of cars. Brand Republic that Mazda has created two entertaining, web-exclusive film clips that can be download and send friends. There's also a competition to win a golfing break at St Andrews. As Maria McCullough, advertising and communications manager for Mazda Motors UK, has explained:"It provides 30-something males with more 'advertainment' film content that embodies the essence of Mazda."
In a press release today on Yahoo! News, British Airways has announced a new aggressive effort to attract international business travelers, through an online campaign developed by iTraffic. The online campaign — including full-page Unicast, half-page and box advertisements — will run from September 22 through the end of the year in conjunction with print and television ads developed by British Airways' offline agency. Amy O'Kane, Manager of Marketing Services for British Airways North America has commented:"In addition to traditional outlets, online advertising has become vital to reaching our target audience. An integrated advertising approach has allowed us to create a consistent message and brand awareness for our industry-leading Club World business class throughout all media avenues."

Hi I am very new to this group. Let me start out by introducing myself. I am a 28 (almost 29 next month) SAHM to my children. I have a 6 year old son who is in kindergarten and an 23 month old who is home with me most of the time except 3 mornings a week she goes to daycare. I have a loving fiance who own his own business. Anyway my 6 year old son was sick Thursday. He threw up 5 times (it was the 1st time he has ever ever thrown up or been sick..yes seriously! first time ever sick). Anyway it passed and the next day he was fine. Now today he is saying his stomach is hurting again. I think he is constipated but not sure cause he says he is going poo just not alot. But he is going to the bathroom like 4 times in 20 minutes. He has no other symtoms. Is there any childrens med's I can give him to help him?

Hi, I 'm new here too. Sounds like stomach virus. There's not a whole lot you can do other than what pp said, BRAT diet if he feels like eating. I sometimes give my kids a little watered down Gatorade if I feel like they are getting dehydrated. Mine won't drink pedialyte. chances are it is going to go right through him until the virus runs it's course. Btw- it is super contagious! Surprised the rest of you don't have it. HTH, hope he feels better soon.
Posted 02/20/2012
Yep BRAT diet, bananas, rice, apples, and toast. Very small amounts.of gatorade frequently, I used to work in a peds office.this is what we told mamas to do, also do the BRAT diet and bland foods for.at least 24-48 hrs

The new age of comfort.
Fi'zi:k's road shoes have become well known for their incredible comfort, so it only makes sense to bring that same experience to the mountain bike set. The Fi'zi:k M5 Donna Shoes are a strong example of this trickle down. Basically, you get the full befit of Fi'zi:k's considerable know-how, wrapped up in a supportive and stunningly attractive package.
Fi'zi:k built the uppers of the M5 Donna shoes out of a blend of Microtex microfiber, nylon mesh, and leather. The Microtex microfiber and nylon mesh handle ventilation duties, keeping your feet cool when you're working hard. Meanwhile, the anti-scratch leather is applied in high-wear areas like the toe box and heel cup. And although it's a hard-wearing material, the leather remains supple and soft. Additionally, you'll find that it breaks in beautifully, adding comfort to the requisite durability.
And since nobody wants their energy to go to waste, Fi'zi:k employed three retention straps. All three are built out of durable sailcloth, and each are cut wide in order to relieve pressure on your feet. The two foremost straps use a hook-and-loop closure for fine-tuned volume adjustments. And the strap nearest to your ankle attaches via a proprietary ratcheting buckle that's been constructed from aluminum for durability.
However, correct fit alone won't guarantee pedaling efficiency. Accordingly, Fi'zi:k gave the M5 Donna shoes a carbon-reinforced, nylon outsole. And while it's not quite as stiff as the carbon fiber outsole of the M1 series, this outsole combines plenty of stiffness with just enough flex to minimize trail chatter. This design fights foot discomfort, which is a common result of riding extremely stiff shoes off-road. And since you'll end up walking your bike sooner or later, Fi'zi:k added rubber lugs to the bottom of the sole in order to increase your traction on the dirt and rocks.
Fi'zi:k included its Superlight insole in the M5 Donna. And while it's not heat moldable like the 3D Flex insole in its M1 shoes, the Superlight insole benefits from an anatomic design that allows it to fully-support your foot. The Superlight insole also has the added benefit of impact absorbing materials to further reduce trail chatter and to keep your feet feeling fresh after a long day on the trail.
The Fi'zi:k M5 Donna Shoes are available in the color Black and in whole and half sizes from 37.0 to 43.0.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Super cute, but not meant for the heat.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought these shoes for my road bike - I use SPD pedals.
The shoes are stylish. I notice the heel of the shoe is pretty deep back - I wonder what type of fit model they used - if the form or the woman had wider heels perhaps. I also noticed that they seem to be a winter/fall shoe, which is great for cooler days, but in Northern California in the summertime, I need some breathability. My feet hurt the first use on the sides and the shoe is not too tight at all. I normally wear a 39 and I got a 40.5 in these and by the end of a metric, maybe because my feet are so hot (swollen?) the shoes seem short and my big toe starts to hurt.
There is part of me that wants to order a 41 because I like the looks of them, and pray they are comfortable, but I worry that the heel will be an issue.
Comfortable, decent overall
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The shoe is fairly comfortable, even during the unfortunate hike with your bike occasions. However, the screw that secures the latch the shoe has a tendency to loosen. The removal mechanism for the ratcheting system is also not the best as it is sometimes difficult to fully compress the release button because the latch interferes. These shoes also have also become loose after wearing for a bit, which is unfortunate because they feel tight at first. It's a stretchy shoe.
nice shoe, but too big
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I really liked this shoe and it received great reviews, unfortunately it did not work for me. I tried three different sizes but the heel was always loose and my heel would slip out, even when the shoe was snug in the toe box. I do not have a narrow heel, typically my shoe size tends to be medium to wide. Otherwise it was very well made and I loved the design.
Fi'zi:k M5 Donna Shoes
Is there a Fi'zi:k shoe chart available?...
Is there a Fi'zi:k shoe chart available? The chart here has most brands but not Fi'zi:k
I ordered 40.5 which the shoe tag said was equivalent to an 8, but I found it ran big (fit like a 9). Returning for a 40.
Thanks! Was able to get a hold of Fi'zi:k from their website and they kindly sent me a women's shoes size chart. It seems they run about a size bigger than Sidi (I'm 7.5M in US sizing, 40 in Sidi and it looks like I should be 39 in Fi'zi:k)
