The Case for Liberty and an Article V Convention – Part II

ESRB suggests Darkstalkers coming to PSN
The first entry in Capcom's "other" fighter series looks set to debut on the PlayStation Network.
Joystiq noted an ESRB listing for Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, listed for PlayStation 3 and PSP.
The original game – which goes by the title Vampire in Japan – was a PSOne era arcade release which saw instant cult success on its port to consoles in 1996.
The monster-themed series has gone neglected in recent years, although Capcom staff have indicated an interest in resurrecting it, and some of its characters turn up in crossover games. Others – in particular, the cat and devil girls – remain favourite cosplay characters.

2014 Fantasy Football DEF Rankings For Every Team
Having a strong fantasy defense is a huge asset for your fantasy football team. On the other hand, making the wrong choice can completely dismantle all the hard work you put into the rest of your roster. Don't let that work go to waste by first checking in with our team-by-team ranking of the best defenses in the NFL.
Don't forget to take a look at our full rankings for fantasy quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and kickers.
1. Seattle Seahawks
2013 statistics: 44 sacks, 28 Int, 4 TD
They were dominant last year. Seattle led the league in multiple categories, including fewest yards allowed, fewest passing yards allowed, lowest red zone efficiency and lowest QB rating. Most of the same squad is back in 2014, sure to continue the Legion of Boom's reign atop the league.
2. Carolina Panthers
2013 statistics: 60 sacks, 20 Int, 4 TD
Carolina's biggest attribute was stopping the run and getting to the quarterback. Captain Munnerlyn and Mike Mitchell aren't with the team this season, but they're not worried about a less-than-desirable secondary this season. They had the same problem in 2013 and they ended up just fine.
3. San Francisco 49ers
2013 statistics: 38 sacks, 18 Int, 5 TD
The 49ers defense is still a force, and the engineers of their defense — linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman — are still leading the way. Uncertain production at the corners and safety won't hinder their overall fantasy production.
4. St. Louis Rams
2013 statistics: 53 sacks, 14 Int, 6 TD
New defensive coordinator Gregg Williams likes to blitz, a lot. Robert Quinn accumulated 19 sacks last year and should be in store for more of the same in 2014. Chris Long and Alex Carrington should get more chances to grab the quarterback for a loss, as well.
5. Arizona Cardinals
2013 statistics: 47 sacks, 20 Int, 5 TD
Arizona doesn't have much of a pass rush, but they led the league in rushing yards allowed per game (84.4 yards). Some questions remain in the secondary, but shut-down corner Patrick Peterson will take care of opposing team's top targets.
6. Cincinnati Bengals
2013 statistics: 43 sacks, 20 Int, 7 TD
Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer left the organization, which boasted the no. 5 rush defense from a year ago. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins will hopefully return to his All-Pro form following a torn ACL. A secondary including both Terrance Newman and Adam Jones (yes, Pacman is still playing) could be vulnerable to the big play.
7. Denver Broncos
2013 statistics: 41 sacks, 17 Int, 5 TD
The Broncos made some wholesale changes to their defense, getting rid of Champ Bailey, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Shaun Phillips and Robert Ayers. In their absence, they signed DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib. If Denver scores at the rate they did last season, it could open up to the defense giving up some unnecessary points in garbage time.
8. New England Patriots
2013 statistics: 48 sacks, 17 Int, 3 TD
The Pats get a huge boost by the returns of Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo from IR, as well as replacing Aqib Talib with Darrelle Revis. Improved coverage down the field could help the defensive line get more sack opportunities. Having Wilfork and Mayo back in the mix should drastically improve their run defense, as well.
9. Chicago Bears
2013 statistics: 31 sacks, 19 Int, 7 TD
After allowing over 2,500 rushing yards last season as a unit, the front office decided to completely revamp the defensive line. They brought in Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston and Willie Young, which should help shift things in Chicago's favor. The secondary wasn't fixed much, but the organization is looking for the Panthers-effect — a tremendous front line with great pass-rushing ability to have a positive trickle-down on the linebackers and secondary.
10. Kansas City Chiefs
2013 statistics: 47 sacks, 21 Int, 11 TD
It wasn't shocking to see the Chiefs struggle in the second half once Justin Houston and Tamba Hall got injured. Both should be ready to go for Week 1. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of depth throughout the defensive side of the ball. Kansas City will need to stay mostly healthy to remain successful.
11. Buffalo Bills
2013 statistics: 56 sacks, 23 Int, 3 TD
Jim Schwartz was brought in as the team's new defensive coordinator and will be instituting a 4-3 defense, just a year after they switched to the 3-4. Buffalo's 56 sacks were second in the league, and Schwartz's "let 'em loose" philosophy should get them back to that level again in 2014.
12. Houston Texans
2013 statistics: 32 sacks, 7 Int, 2 TD
Houston already boasts one of the best defensive players in J.J. Watt, and brought in Jadeveon Clowney with the top overall pick in May's draft. They failed to meet expectations last season in their secondary and outside linebacker corps, and have brought it in defensive guru Romeo Crennel to fix things up.
13. New York Jets
2013 statistics: 41 sacks, 13 Int, 2 TD
New York has a great defensive line in Muhammad Wilkerson, Damon Harrison and Sheldon Richardson, but that's about it. The linebackers and secondary are both suspect, and they're hoping an injection of a rookie will help the secondary. Despite the linebackers having a hard time getting to the QB, they still posted 41 sacks as a team in 2013.
14. Cleveland Browns
2013 statistics: 40 sacks, 14 Int, 5 TD
Talk about inconsistency — the Browns ranked toward the top of the league in yards per carry allowed and yards per pass attempt allowed, but still gave up 25.4 points per game, one of the highest in football. They drafted cornerback Justin Gilbert in May, along with signing Karlos Dansby and Donte Whitner to shore up the linebackers and secondary, respectively.
15. Baltimore Ravens
2013 statistics: 40 sacks, 16 Int, 3 TD
Still adjusting to life without Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, the Ravens will have a tough time being an effective defense. Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata lead a young group, but many holes remain. Not having a lot of cap space to play with makes it harder to inject the roster with some new talent.
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2013 statistics: 35 sacks, 21 Int, 3 TD
The hiring of defensive-minded head coach Lovie Smith should give Tampa a boost, but it's undetermined how good it will actually be. They haven't finished in the top-15 of the league in sacks since 2007. Smith has his work cut out for him.
17. Green Bay Packers
2013 statistics: 44 sacks, 11 Int, 3 TD
Moving B.J. Raji back to his natural position of nose tackle and having a healthy Clay Matthews are big boosts here. They've also brought in Julius Peppers, but he's clearly a short-term solution as he enters his age-34 season. There are a lot of "ifs" here for Green Bay, but the only way for them to be a successful defense is if they don't get ravaged by injuries again.
18. Philadelphia Eagles
2013 statistics: 37 sacks, 19 Int, 2 TD
A bad performing defense from last year didn't really get any better heading into 2014. They allowed 289.8 passing yards per game last season — the worst in the league. Expect a lot of shootouts when Philly is playing every week thanks in part to their high-powered offense.
19. Indianapolis Colts
2013 statistics: 42 sacks, 15 Int, 2 TD
Indy's defense was inconsistent in 2013, playing very well against good teams, but laying eggs against teams they should've handled easily. Robert Mathis led the NFL with 19 sacks last season, but the Colts will be without him for the first four games because of a suspension. They ranked 26th in the league in rushing yards allowed and signed Arthur Jones to help rectify the situation, but that probably won't be enough.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
2013 statistics: 34 sacks, 10 Int, 4 TD
Pittsburgh has been pretty much cleaning their defensive house, with Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor the only incumbent players still around when their unit was one of the league's best. They've brought in a lot of young players, and questions remain as to how they will adjust to one another.
21. New Orleans Saints
2013 statistics: 49 sacks, 12 Int, 0 TD
Rob Ryan swapped the defensive line to an aggressive 3-4 formation and it definitely helped their performance against pass. Unfortunately, they still ranked in the bottom-five of the league with regard to rushing yards per carry, and they've struggled to find any consistency in that part of their game.
22. New York Giants
2013 statistics: 34 sacks, 17 Int, 3 TD
After a dismal 0-6 start, New York's defense picked it up in the middle of the season, but they were helped by facing inferior QBs. Free agent imports Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Walter Thurmond should help strengthen the secondary. The linebacking group is still an uncertainty, and the Giants are banking on Jason Pierre-Paul on being the pass-rushing monster he was in 2011 since they let Justin Tuck walk to Oakland.
23. Detroit Lions
2013 statistics: 33 sacks, 15 Int, 4 TD
It's frustrating for fantasy players to see monsters like Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley be on a defense, yet not be part of a top-performing unit. They lacked discipline last year and had a mediocre secondary. There's hope bringing in Jim Caldwell as head coach to keep players in check and progression from others will help them take a step forward.
24. Miami Dolphins
2013 statistics: 42 sacks, 18 Int, 2 TD
The Dolphins have put together a defense without a lot of trustworthy players. Cortland Finnegan netted $5.5 million guaranteed from them during the offseason. That alone should tell you how draft-worthy this unit is for your squad. Defensive end Cameron Wake is the only player on the line with true pass-rushing ability.
25. Tennessee Titans
2013 statistics: 36 sacks, 13 Int, 3 TD
Tennessee enters 2014 in transition with new DC Ray Horton. He's shifting the 4-3 into a 3-4 scheme, which may take some time for the players to adjust. They lost Alterraun Verner to free agency, who led the league in interceptions last season.
26. Atlanta Falcons
2013 statistics: 32 sacks, 10 Int, 3 TD
The Falcons allowed the fifth-most points in the league last season (27.7). Despite making some moves this offseason, there are too many remaining question marks. Acquisitions have improved the D-line, but there is no depth at cornerback and their linebackers haven't proved they can stay healthy for an entire season.
27. Oakland Raiders
2013 statistics: 39 sacks, 9 Int, 4 TD
Instead of keeping things the way they were, Oakland brought in a bunch of veteran players to improve the defense. Some include Justin Tuck, Carlos Rogers, LaMarr Woodley and Antonio Smith. They also selected Khalil Mack with the fifth pick of last May's draft. They have one of the toughest schedules in the league this season, but could be worth a gamble for a bye-week filler depending on the matchup.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars
2013 statistics: 31 sacks, 11 Int, 2 TD
Head coach Gus Bradley is in his second year with Jacksonville after leaving the Seahawks and is trying his best to replicate his success from Seattle. They have some good young players in the secondary that could help the Jaguars put together a defense better than the last couple years, but it's still a long journey before becoming one of the league's best.
29. Washington Redskins
2013 statistics: 36 sacks, 16 Int, 5 TD
After allowing the most net yards per pass attempt in 2013 (last in the NFL), the Redskins didn't do anything to improve the secondary. DeAngelo Hall, Brandon Meriweather and Ryan Clark are all back, making it seem like it will be more of the same in DC this year.
30. Minnesota Vikings
2013 statistics: 41 sacks, 12 Int, 4 TD
New head coach Mike Zimmer will try imparting his defensive knowledge on the team, but they still need upgrades in several places. They have the potential to be lethal up front on the defensive line, but the signings of Captain Munnerlyn and Derek Cox won't do much to prevent teams from scoring through the air.
31. San Diego Chargers
2013 statistics: 35 sackes 11 Int, 1 TD
Making a huge drop from fourth in fantasy points in 2012 to 28th last season, the Chargers weren't able to capitalize on mistakes by opponents. They found the end zone just once last year, whereas they did so seven times in '12. The front seven is suspect with health and performance issues, while it's undetermined whether Eric Weddle will have any legitimate CB help in the secondary.
32. Dallas Cowboys
2013 statistics: 34 sacks, 15 Int, 6 TD
Dallas was one of the worst defenses in the league last year, and their performance was the worst overall in franchise history. Since Jerry Jones isn't the best at roster management, the team had to let go DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher to create salary cap space. They're a lot younger in 2014, but the struggles should continue.

Let's say I have this dir structure:
/project1 /SomeFolder /obj /bin /project2 /obj /bin
Let's say each directory has source files I want to check in, but I don't want to check in /obj and /bin directories or their contents...
The way I did was
git add .
and than browse to each dir and do
git rm obj
git rm bin
As you can imagine this gets tedious especially if there are many directories... What is a better way to do something like that? Namely add multiple files with some exceptions, or remove all subdirectories with certain name?
to update multiple directories this will also work:
git rm */obj

It's always so nice to read these types of stories. Plastic surgeons have been helping people with cleft palates and much more for years. In fact, one of the events that catapulted advancements in plastic surgery was the treatment of war veterans.

As I was editing photos from my Easter Sunday stroll about town, I realized how easy it was to capture Pine Street while everyone was in church or spending time with family. The streets were clear. Businesses closed. I had Pine Street all to myself. I had to laugh when I thought I saw some "walkers" and if you watch "The Walking Dead" you know what I am talking about.
Let me just take a moment and say how much I love book stores. Especially used book stores. Flipping through the pages, the smell. Trading in old ones for new old ones. I can easily find something to read here. And spend hours looking. Just looking. Reading back covers. The first photo is of Violet Sunshine Books & Beads. On my first trip in some time ago, I bought a copy of Ralph Waldo Emerson's Essays: Second Series�written in 1844. The original owner gave her name and dated it 1920. It was fragile.
Reader's Corner is another favorite. I spend time in the Autobiography/Memoir section. I recommend The Liars' Club by Mary Karr.
Kent Jewelry is a usual stop for me. Ring cleaning. Watch battery. Engraving. My go-to jeweler. And the nicest people work here!
The Phelps County Bank building was built in the 1930′s not only as a bank but also a hotel.
Langston Interiors, Rolla Rare Coin & Stamp and andFlew! Studios across the street. I love these old brick buildings downtown.

For millions of Syrians displaced by fighting, every day is a struggle to survive, and for those in Kherbet al-Khaldiye, that means eating and drinking whatever they can forage.
"We eat herbs and collect stagnant rainwater to drink and wash in," says 24-year-old Hisham, his head covered in a red and white chequered keffiyeh scarf.
Hisham, who sports a budding blonde beard, was about to enter university when the fighting that has engulfed Syria erupted in 2011.
Now he has joined the wave of his compatriots displaced by the conflict.
In Kherbet al-Khaldiyeh, a makeshift camp near the Turkish border, Hisham shows off a nearly-dry rivulet of water, infested with fungi and insects, surrounded by a swarm of children, many of whom have contracted skin infections because of the dirty water.
Naida, 35, has seven young children. She bathes them in the infested water because the nearest clean water supply is several kilometres away.
"We pick herbs like mint and mallow in the countryside and we cook them. We don't have anything else to eat," she says.
"My husband used to work in a quarry, breaking stone, but now we have no more resources and no one to help us. Once we brought a kilo of potatoes per family -- how can we all live on a potato a week?"
Every so often, along with a group of other women, Naida goes to the nearest village in search of potable water.
"We carry the cans on our heads for several miles," she says, her blue eyes faded with exhaustion.
Ibrahim, 25, was living in a village near the Minnigh airport -- a key flashpoint between Syrian rebel forces and the regime. The non-stop air raids and shelling eventually forced him to flee, along with his two sons, and around 20 other families.
His village was able to save a few of their animals and bring them along.
"Each day we slaughter a chicken like that one," he says, glancing at a paltry specimen as it passes.
"That chicken would be for all of us, can you imagine how much each person gets?" he says with a bitter smile.
More than a million Syrians have left the country since peaceful protests against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad erupted in March 2011, spiralling into a civil war after his forces unleashed a brutal crackdown on dissent.
But not everyone is able to cross the border and escape the violence, with many lacking passports or sufficient money to make the journey. Those residents have been forced to seek the safest places they can within Syria.
For the roughly 100 people here, the safest place available was this strip of countryside in Aleppo province, where they live among the scattered remains of Roman ruins, a few kilometres from the Turkish border.
At first, they were living in holes in the ground, lined with straw to provide some protection against the cold and the snow, Naida says.
Now they have managed to get tents marked with the logo of the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR.
In cold and unhealthy living conditions, the little makeshift village also struggles on with almost no access to medicine, particularly for sick children.
"By the time they get to the nearest pharmacy, in Azaz (in northern Syria) or in Turkey, the child is dead," 25-year-old Issa says, dressed in a warm coat in camouflage colours that came from Syrian rebel fighters.
Seated on a stone, set back from the other residents, 80-year-old Rajab observes the life of the makeshift village in the middle of nowhere.
"Under the tent, you feel the wind, the cold," says Rajab, the patriarch of a family of 40 people.
"Who can live in these conditions? Look around you, who can live like this?"

A Curse Dark as Gold (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
"If you'll allow me to demonstrate, I do think I could be of some help to you here."
I smiled tightly. "You'd have to be able to make gold appear from thin air to be much help to us now, I'm afraid."
"Gold, you say?" he said quietly. "Well, not out of the air, maybe, but--" He reached toward Rosie and drew a length of straw free from her hat. From out of a pocket in his jacket appeared an old-fashioned handheld drop spindle, the kind no one uses anymore, and he sent it spinning with a turn of his hand. Slowly, as we watched, he drew out the straw and spun it--spun it! (CONT.)
As if it were a roving of wool! Rosie and I stood there and watched him, moment by moment, as the spindle bobbed and twirled. Something pulled out from the brown straw and through his knobby fingers, and where it should have gone onto the spindle, the finest strands of gleaming gold threads appeared. Round and round the spindle went, and the gleaming of gold turned with it. I don't know how long we watched it, turning and turning, flashing gold with every revolution. I could not take my eyes away.

Something's Got to Give
Published: March 24, 1996
(Page 6 of 10)
Quiet and sweet-tempered, Graz seemed more like a high-school music teacher than an air traffic controller when he came to the Tracon 10 years ago. From the start, his plan was to learn radar controlling, then transfer to a less-stressful facility somewhere in New England. For years Graz applied for other jobs, but when he finally got accepted at another facility, the Tracon refused to release him. Desperate for a break, Graz has also applied for the Tracon's management positions whenever they open up, and four times the job has gone to someone else. "I never asked why, but I'm pretty sure they just don't want to lose a Newark body, since the sector is already doing so much overtime," Graz says forlornly. "Back when I started I was told, 'Put in your five years and you can go anywhere.' But that was 10 years ago and I can't get out!"
The F.A.A.'s difficulty persuading new controllers to move to high-stress facilities like the New York Tracon is one reason they can't afford to lose Graz. ("Why kill yourself here when life is a lot easier at another facility," says Loretta Martin, the Tracon air traffic manager.) Another is his mastery of the Newark airspace, which has grown so convoluted over the last 15 years that only a few dozen controllers in the country know how to work it. Until the late 1970's, the Newark sector was actually the slowest in the Tracon, with only three scopes, eight controllers per shift and an airport nicknamed Sleepy Hollow. But with the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, everything changed. Among other things, airlines were now able to operate from just a few hub airports, which meant that dozens of connecting flights, or jetlinks, would stream into an airport in one "arrival push," followed shortly by a stream of simultaneous departures. In 1981, People Express made Newark its hub. Newark -- and Graz -- have never been the same.
Newark in the early 1980's was aviation's Wild West. Faced with an endless stream of People's jets (even flights from Houston to Chicago passed through Newark), and pressured by the airport, the airlines and the F.A.A. not to put planes in holds, controllers used all their legal tricks -- and occasionally some illegal ones -- to pump the surging traffic through a constricted airspace, often going home at day's end to vomit from all the stress. Some pilots complained about the flying conditions, but mostly they went along too, playing jet jockey, maneuvering their 737's as if they were Cessnas, and taking a tight, overhead approach to the airport and "teardropping" onto runway 29, where they could land and taxi straight to the People Express terminal. "You got your head busted in back then," says one controller. "But everyone was making money -- People's, Newark -- and our job was to make it happen."
And that, more or less, is the way things remain, since the New York airspace has never been successfully redesigned to absorb Newark's tangled growth. What makes the Newark airspace so challenging is not just the volume of traffic -- 50 percent from Continental, which acquired most of People's routes -- but also its complexity. Bounded on the east by the Hudson River in order to stay clear of Kennedy and La Guardia traffic, the Newark airspace is fed by 27 different arrival routes from the south, west and north. And it is used by every imaginable aircraft -- commuter jetlinks rushing to make Continental connections at Newark; corporate jets flying in and out of Teterboro, a small airport 10 miles to the northeast; pleasure aircraft cruising the Hudson River, and dozens of eastbound jets passing overhead on their way to Kennedy and La Guardia.
Over the years, the Newark airspace has grown so Byzantine that it takes two years for new controllers to learn its many dangerous shoals and eddies. (On one route toward Newark, planes -- in order to avoid traffic at Morristown, Teterboro and Caldwell airports -- must circle an extra 15 to 20 miles to the northwest, a path Continental pilots have dubbed the "OPEC-1 arrival route" because it burns so much fuel.) And fully half the trainees flunk out during their training. The F.A.A. thought it had found a quick fix for its staffing problems when President Clinton reversed Reagan's ban on rehiring Patco controllers, allowing some of the fired controllers to reapply for their old jobs. Four old-timers came to the Tracon's Newark sector, but all were stunned by the new chaos in the skies, and two have already washed out -- terrified by their first bursts of rush-hour traffic and never able to regain their stride. "They just spoke too slow," says Jughead, who tried to help them improve their reaction time. "I was, like: 'Spit it out! Let's go!' "
All of which means that Graz -- who after 10 years of sitting in darkness can't walk in bright sunlight without his eyes hurting -- is caught in an exquisitely cruel predicament: the crazier the Newark airspace gets, the more invaluable he becomes to the Tracon; but the longer Graz works Newark traffic, the crazier he himself gets. Of all the Newark controllers, Graz is the most visibly tense, craning his neck at acute angles when traffic gets heavy and snapping at pilots or other controllers if they don't follow protocol. Gone is the mild-mannered controller who arrived at the Tracon long ago, eager to learn radar controlling. "Ten years!" he moans, gripping the sides of his head. "Ten years! It's like I'm in a room, a box, and there's no opening. I want off the scopes!"

has happened to Tim Williams who has the drive behind Messini
in the Kindergarten Stakes at Wyndham tomorrow.
Williams, who moved south from Canterbury late last year to
continue his driving career and work at Wayne Adams'
Invercargill stables, is still surprised how he came to be
driving for the All Stars Stables.
''My father was at the yearling sales [in Christchurch on
Wednesday] and [Messini's trainer] Mark Purdon came over and
told him to let me know to put my name down for the drive.''
Williams saw Messini run second behind Isaiah in the Sapling
Stakes at Ashburton on February 9, and was taken aback by the
Art Major colt's ability to keep chasing on a last 400m of
26.4 seconds.
''It was fairly impressive to see him run the leader close
with the sectionals they ran,'' he said.
Williams will catch up with Purdon tonight as he has one
drive at the Hororata meeting at Addington, and he will get
his driving instructions then.
Return To Sender, who was third in the Sapling Stakes, is a
race rival for Messini tomorrow. He is trained by Robert
Dunn, who also trained the Mach Three colt's dam, Mainland
Banner, throughout her glittering career.
Nathan Williamson trains and drives Onedin Mach who backed up
his trials form with a four-length win at Ascot Park on
February 12, while Cran Dalgety brings Regulus south after an
eye-catching second at the Ashburton workouts, also on
February 12.
Williams rates Bettor Than Money as his best drive of the
rest, giving it a good place chance, while he is simply
hoping for an error-free run from Brilliant Cruiser, who
takes on 3yr-olds.
''He's got to get round in one piece, really, but there are
probably two or three 3yr-olds in there that are a bit smart
for him.''

Saints bring back RB Ladell Betts, waive Wynn
Published: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 12:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 12:44 p.m.
METAIRIE — The New Orleans Saints have brought back veteran running back Ladell Betts, who the club had released after the preseason.
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel says the club re-signed Betts on Wednesday, two days after running back Reggie Bush broke his right leg during New Orleans' victory at San Francisco on Monday night.
Betts, who played eight years for Washington, is trying to come back from a serious left knee injury last season. He played in two preseason games with the Saints, rushing nine times for 53 yards and making five catches for 24 yards.
The Saints also waived reserve running back and special teams player DeShawn Wynn. Wynn is eligible for the practice squad and could be re-signed if he clears waivers.

A Statement Released by Daejha Milan about ''Porno Samurai Killer'', the compilation DVD starring Steve Driver and Tom Dong.
''Last week it was brought to my attention that Mike Ramone, through Robert Hill Entertainment, released a DVD titled, ''Porno Samurai Killer''. I must admit I had many thoughts and emotions running through my mind. How could a company actually WANT to profit off of a tragic situation that occurred right in our own Industry?
I put in a call to Mike Ramone but have yet to receive a response. I read in an XBIZ Article that the owner of Robert Hill Entertainment released the following statement: ''This movie is in honor of Steve Driver and Tom Dong (let them rest in peace) for their dedication and hard work for the adult business,'' Robert Hill owner Lynton said. ''There is no business without all the actors and actresses.''
Really? Are you eff'en kidding me? In honor of Steve Driver? For their Dedication and Hard Work? So then, I guess the movie is all out-takes of them behind the scenes then, right?
I understand that the Porn Industry is well known for mainstream spoofs -- ie. movies, situations that happen to ''living'' celebrities, etc. I not only knew Tom Dong the actor but I knew Herbert Wong the man. That is not something many people can say. Tom and I were roommates for over a year from 2007 thru 2008. He was my brother and my BFF.
Tom loved his spoiled little dog Cole which I used to call ''Dior'' because she had so much attitude for something so small. Something I'm sure the aforementioned producers probably had no idea. Also, I suppose all their profits will be donated in Herbert Wong's name to the SPCA since they know how much he loved animals and they have nothing but honor in their hearts?
I'd also like for them to download a copy of the Memorial Service they held in Tom's Honor. Oh wait, that's right, they didn't have one! This company is obviously struggling and have nothing better to do than pretend to ''care'' for profit.
Maybe somebody should spoof the real reason Mike Ramone was let go from his position at AVN. Bet that would sell! If for any reason I need to be contacted please feel free to email email@example.com.
I will be happy to have that conversation. Thank you for your very valuable time. Have a Fabulous Day!''

I was only 15 minutes late for the meeting and the boss did a total Funky Gibbon in front of everyone

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A U.S. journalist abducted by militants in Iraq and threatened with death said in a video aired Friday that his captors were treating him well, while an Italian journalist also was reported missing in the wartorn country.
The video was broadcast on the Arab television station Al-Jazeera after a top aide to firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said the kidnappers had told him they would free Micah Garen on Friday, but there was no word on his release.
"I am an American journalist in Iraq and I've been asked to deliver a message," the man, identified as Garen, a New York-based journalist, said on the video. "I am in captivity and being treated well."
The newsreader said that Garen also had called for an end to the killing in Najaf, where U.S. and Iraqi forces have been fighting a radical Shiite militia for two weeks, though that part of the audio was inaudible.
According to witnesses, Garen and his Iraqi translator, Amir Doushi, were walking through a market in the southern city of Nasiriyah on Aug. 13 when two armed men in civilian clothes seized them, police said. There was no word on Doushi's fate.
Al-Jazeera reported Thursday that a militant group calling itself the Martyrs Brigade had abducted Garen and would kill him within 48 hours unless U.S. troops pull out of the holy city of Najaf.
Sheik Aws al-Khafaji, a top al-Sadr aide who had appealed for Garen's release, said he had spoken to the kidnappers, who said they would let the journalist go later Friday.
"The kidnappers have put the journalist in a safe place," al-Khafaji said from Nasiriyah.
Garen's stepfather, Giovanni Fazio, of Newton, Mass., however, said the family had not received any notification.
"All we know is what we've seen on television," Fazio said.
Scores of foreigners have been kidnapped in recent months by insurgents and criminal gangs seeking to extort ransom or with the political motive of trying to force foreign troops and companies to leave the country.
The Italian Foreign Ministry said Friday that Italian journalist Enzo Baldoni has gone missing in Iraq.
Baldoni, a freelance journalist who went to Iraq for the news magazine Diario, was believed to have been in Najaf, the ministry said.
The magazine's editor in chief, Enrico Deaglio, told the ANSA news agency that he last had contact with Baldoni via e-mail two days ago. He said Baldoni was on his first trip to Iraq.

plesiosaurs (which were neither really fish nor dinosaurs), in which case I don't know, but it's worth bearing in mind they lived in a time when the Earth was rather warmer than it is now, so if anything it might be too cold for them now.

Tensions are rising between Russia and the United States, and we must take steps to avoid a new Cold War with Moscow.

Last week, Vladimir Putin surprisingly announced that Russia will begin to withdraw its troops from Syria. Putin claimed Russia's main goals had been completed in the country. Clearly, this "main goal" was not to defeat the Islamic State, but instead to ensure that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will remain in power. I believe Russia is […]

I am trying to derive Birkhoff's theorem in GR as an exercise: a spherically symmetric gravitational field is static in the vacuum area. I managed to prove that $g_{00}$ is independent of t in the vacuum, and that $g_{00}*g_{11}=f(t)$. But the next question is: Show that you can get back to a Schwarzschild metric by a certain mathematical operation. I am thinking at a coordinate change (or variable change on $r$) to absorb the $t$ dependence of $g_{11}$, but I can't see the right one. Does someone has a tip to share?
The Birkhoff's Theorem in 3+1D is e.g. proven (at a physics level of rigor) in Ref. 1 and Ref. 2. (An elegant equivalent 1-page proof of Birkhoff's theorem is given in Refs. 3-4.) Imagine that we have managed to argue$^1$ that the metric is of the form of eq. (5.38) in Ref. 1 or eq. (7.13) in Ref. 2:
$$ds^2~=~-e^{2\alpha(r,t)}dt^2 + e^{2\beta(r,t)}dr^2 +r^2 d\Omega^2. \tag{A} $$
It is a straightforward exercise to calculate the corresponding Ricci tensor $R_{\mu\nu}$, see eq. (5.41) in Ref. 1 or eq. (7.16) in Ref. 2. The notation is here $$x^0\equiv t, \quad x^1\equiv r, \quad x^2\equiv\theta, \quad\text{and} \quad x^3\equiv\phi.$$ The Einstein's equations in vacuum read
$$R_{\mu\nu}~=~\Lambda g_{\mu\nu}~.\tag{E} $$
The argument is now as follows.
Finally, if we switch back to the original $t$ coordinate variable, the metric $(A)$ becomes
$$ds^2~=~-\left(1-\frac{R}{r}-\frac{\Lambda}{3}r^2\right)e^{2f(t)}dt^2 + \left(1-\frac{R}{r}-\frac{\Lambda}{3}r^2\right)^{-1}dr^2 +r^2 d\Omega^2.\qquad\tag{C}$$
It is interesting that the metric $(C)$ is the most general metric of the form $(A)$ that satisfies Einstein's vacuum equations. The only freedom is the function $f=f(t)$, which reflects the freedom to reparametrize the $t$ coordinate variable.
$^1$ Here we for convenience show how Ref. 1 and Ref. 2 reduce from
Are you doing this rigorously by using an ansatz for your metric and plugging it into the usual Einstein field equations in vacuum or something "more topological"?
If former, in the most common ansatz,
$ds^2 = e^{f(t,r)} dt^2 - e^{g(t,r)} dr^2 - r^2 d\Omega^2 $
you get your metric independence of time t with the
{01}th Ricci tensor component, which sets a time derivative of one of your metric components to 0. Algebraic combinations of the other Ricci tensor componentes give you the relationships between metric component functions $f$ and $g$, somewhere along the way you should get something like $\frac{d}{dt}[f(t,r)-g(t,r)] = 0$. That gives you your time independance of $g_{11}$.

The older and culturally rich land of Halland Lan Sweden has become one of the most popular tourist towns, and with good reasons. In addition to the many discount hotels in Halland Lan Sweden, there are some excellent local attractions to take in. The four most recommended points of interest in Halland Lan Sweden include the Halmstad Steninge, the Halmstad Ugglarps, the beautiful western coast of Sweden, and the beaches and town along the Sea of Kattegat.
Though there are certainly hostiles and campgrounds located within the region, a better value may be found in the budget hotels in Halland Lan Sweden. You can get a more enjoyable stay out of this type of lodging and still take in the local sights and culture with the money that you save. This is a popular way of traveling for many who visit this area. The land holds beauty all its own and the beautiful water nearby makes a perfect scene for a wonderful vacation.
Please provide this reference number to our customer service center representative on request, so we can help you better
