This isn't fair.
Some of us are stuck at our parents houses, using a shitty old P166 which doesn't have AIM installed on it.
How are we supposed to be told "fuck off, jewboy"?
And this is supposed to be a time of giving?
Fuck that, Sage Francis.

Happy Holidays Sage.
- is not about the commercialism we live in, nor is it about the birth of some kid, which may or may not of happened. Christmas is about getting together with friends and family and making up for lost time and burying the hatchet with enemies and foe's. I believe I summarized what Sage said about Thanktaking.
The Asterax.
I still can't believe you use AOL Sage, talk about commercialists.

BRECKENRIDGE - On the surface, Hank seems like any other 3-year-old dog, rambunctious, playful and affectionate.
But the yellow lab has a very important job: He finds missing humans.
Hank and his handler, Red, White and Blue firefighter Chris Sutton, were the first team west of the Continental Divide to be invited to join Colorado's division of the elite federal Urban Search and Rescue team.
Together, Sutton and Hank will now be tasked with finding survivors in the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters.
"He's the nose and I'm the brains," Sutton said. "He's trained to indicate on live human scent - scent that he cannot see."
For Hank, the search for trapped disaster victims in the midst of chaos is just a game of hide and seek. During his training, people hid from him with a toy. When he found them, he was rewarded with playtime. The practice taught him to actively search out live humans and to bark when he discovers their location.
After a full year of tests and training, Hank and Sutton passed their final exam and landed official certification as a search team earlier this month.
"It's a great asset for this community," Red, White and Blue deputy chief Jay Nelson said. "It gives us a dog that can be used in any kind of circumstances, really, from missing victims at a car accident scene to the possibility of a building explosion or building collapse."
Hank was born in San Diego and raised as a hunting dog by a private owner. He doesn't talk much about how he got into the search-and-rescue field, but Sutton suspects his personality had something to do with it.
"We screen dogs for extremely high drive," Sutton said. "Hank certainly fits the bill."
The lab is exuberant. Sutton said many search-and-rescue canines are given up by owners who can't handle their high energy levels.
"He's not a pet," Sutton said. "They need a job ... they need a mission in life."
When he was about a year old, Hank found his. He was taken on by a trainer who taught him obedience, agility and then search work. After a year with the trainer, in September 2011, he and Sutton became partners.
It took another year of intensive training to prepare both dog and handler to work in the field.
"There were a lot of ups and downs," Sutton said. "He had a lot to learn, but I had more to learn about being a handler. It's a lot of teamwork: him trusting me and me being able to trust him."
Sutton has a background in search and rescue and had worked with avalanche dogs in the past. Becoming a canine handler was something he was already interested in doing when the invitation from Denver's Urban Search and Rescue Task Force came through.
Now certified, Sutton and Hank are members of a 31-person team and one of only four canine teams on the task force. In the event of a disaster, such as a bombing or a tornado, which might leave survivors trapped under rubble, their team will be deployed within six hours to help local and state emergency responders locate victims and manage recovery work.
The timetable means Sutton and Hank will have to move fast to get to their team in Denver when a notification comes through.
"They have to be able to be responding at the deployment center within two hours," Red, White and Blue chief Lori Miller said. "They have to be briefed and loaded and ... out the door within four hours and on the ground by six hours."
Not every state has a task force, so Colorado's team could be called to disasters and emergencies in other parts of the country.
But, for the most part, Hank, Sutton and their unique skills live here in Summit County.
"The national deployment is rare," Nelson said. "Absolutely (Hank's) primary mission is taking care of the home front. It's that added resource."

Deutsche Investors Bank on Better Capital Position
Despite delivering fourth-quarter earnings way below anything markets had expected Deutsche Bankshares have been trading in positive territory for most of the day, as analysts focus on improvements in the bank's capital position.
Germany's largest bank reported a net loss of 2.17 billion euros ($2.93 billion) in the fourth quarter, as it took substantial charges to clean up its business, remove risky assets from its balance sheet and set aside money for legal disputes.
The hefty loss hasn't stopped J.P. Morgan Cazenove from upgrading the stock to "neutral" from "underweight" with a new target price of €38, compared to €35 previously.
"New management under co-Chief Executive Officer Anshu Jain has illustrated its ability, to improve its capital position above expectation and guidance in the fourth quarter," J.P. Morgan said.
The reduction of risk-weighted assets also won over analysts, with Andrew Lim of Espirito Santo Investment Bank calling it significant and "clearly a positive." He added that it led to a better-than-expected fully-loaded Capital Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% for 2012, compared with prior guidance of 7.2%.
"However, this was achieved not by accelerated sales in non-core assets, but mainly by use of advanced models, portfolio optimization and hedging," Mr. Lim noted, pointing out markets may view this as low quality. Also, it does nothing to improve the leverage ratio, he said.
J.P. Morgan agrees the positive surprise came mostly from "low quality" internal model adjustments and portfolio optimizations rather than real legacy asset sales, but says the market will still give Deutsche Bank credit for these improvements. And it does seem to be doing just that. Shares in Deutsche Bank were trading up 2.7% at €38.14 at 12:45 GMT, while the DAX was down 0.3%.
Credit Suisse positively notes the firm's capital forecast, noting Deutsche Bank's core tier 1 capital ratio guidance for 8.5% at the end of the first quarter compares with an 8.0% target given previously. The brokerage rates Deutsche at underperform with a €29 target price.

Amber was released from jail in time to attend a candlelight vigil on what would have been Taylor's 18th birthday. (WRDW-TV / Oct. 26, 2011)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011
GROVETOWN, Ga. -- The last five months have been a nightmare for 17-year-old Amber Lever -- one she's forced to relive over and over.
In May, she was driving the SUV that wrecked and killed one of her best friends, Taylor Gazaway. Amber admitted to second-degree vehicular homicide and was sentenced to one year behind bars. She served 14 days before a judge released her in time for her senior year of high school.
It was a sunny, summer afternoon in May. Six teenagers were enjoying their first week of summer freedom with a lunch date, but it was the ride home that changes all of their lives forever.
"They came around this curve, and as they came around this curve they hit this gravel," recalled neighbor Christina Morris. "It sounded like a brick wall."
Seventeen-year-old Taylor had just graduated from Evans High School, and in an instant, he was gone.
"Everyone loved him, nobody disliked him. He was always there to help anyone out. He was a good friend," said one of Taylor's friends after the accident.
One of Taylor's best friend's, Amber, was driving. She came around the curve too fast, lost control and slammed into a tree. The impact killed Taylor.
"Tell me what you remember about the accident," said reporter Katie Beasley.
"I don't really remember any details about the accident, really at all. It was just kind of like a blur," Amber responded.
The side of the tree they hit is still deeply scraped; the scars have yet to heal for the tree or for Amber.
"Taylor was a very outgoing person. He had an awesome personality, someone you always want to be around. You could always count on Taylor to make you smile," cried Amber.
Taylor and Amber had been friends for more than a year, and their families say they were just about joined at the hip.
"It's hard to lose anyone, but under the circumstances, it was very difficult. I wish I could change what happened, every day. If I could bring Taylor back, I would," Amber said.
"The hardest part is the just the heartache. The heartache for everyone that was involved," explained Kim Lever, Amber's mother. "I didn't think that we would ever get to a day where we didn't cry every day."
At the time of the accident, Amber was just 16. By law, she could only drive with one friend in the car. That day, there were five. And it wasn't the first time she had been caught. In Juvenile Court, Amber entered an admission of second-degree vehicular homicide. This time, she was sentenced to one year behind bars.
"It was nerve-racking the first day of court, I was very nervous and scared," Amber said.
"What was going through your mind when he said 'a year in jail?'" asked Katie.
"What am I going to do for a year in jail?" Amber responded. "I didn't know what to expect. A year in jail ... that's a lot of time. It was all kinds of emotions. I was sad, I was angry."
"It was almost surreal, like I misunderstood what he said. I just know what a wonderful child that I have, and I know that she didn't deserve to be in a place like that," added Kim.
Amber spent two weeks in a youth detention center before her family and friends packed a courtroom to ask for her release in July. Even Taylor's mother, Dana Banker, spoke through tears in front of the judge.
"I'm so thankful for Mrs Dana. She is an angel sent from heaven. I think that's why I'm sitting here today," Amber said.
"My heart bleeds for Dana, I love her. She is a wonderful woman. I pray that I could be the woman she is," Kim said.
Amber was released in time to attend a candlelight vigil on what would have been Taylor's 18th birthday.
The judge ordered her to say a few words to the crowd.
"I made a mistake, and I have accepted all the responsibilities for that mistake. I know that teenagers drive with too many people in the car all the time. But I hope you all can look at me tonight and learn ... it's not worth it," Amber told the crowd in July.
Part of Amber's probation is to talk to other teen drivers. For the first time, she shared her story with other teens at the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. News 12 was there.
"It's been a struggle, as you guys can imagine. I was just going a little too fast. I turned on the road and I hit some gravel -- when I hit the gravel, I lost control of the car and then we hit a tree," Amber explained to the crowd, choking up at the memories of that day.
"Everyone went to the hospital, and in conclusion, my friend Taylor passed away," she cried.
The other teens listened silently as Amber shared the rest of her story through tears.
"You think something like that could never happen to you. You think, oh I'm just gonna ride with them, it's just going to happen one time, that's not going to be me," said Angelica Concepcion, a student at Lakeside High School taking part in the Columbia County Youth Leadership program. "You can ruin everything with one stupid mistake."
"I feel like it actually got to people, and it just makes me feel good," Amber said.
"I think, Katie, that I'm very proud of Amber with the way that she's handling what happened and taking responsibility for what happened," explained her mother, Kim.
And it won't be the last time Amber speaks out; she knows she has a powerful message for teen drivers. The site of the accident, the broken tree, is just a few hundred yards from Amber's home. As she leaves her neighborhood each day, she's forced back to that sunny, summer day.
"It's gotten a lot easier now. At first it was a reminder of the accident in itself, but now it's like Taylor, and I know Taylor's in heaven," she said.
Amber is in the middle of her senior year. She's still on probation and can't get her license back until she's 18.
Taylor would be 18 now, and his mother told us he would be in school working toward his dream of being an oral surgeon.
Mrs. Banker said if Taylor could have stood in that courtroom and spoken for himself this summer, he would have hugged Amber and told her to carry on with her life and make it the best she could. Mrs. Banker says speaking out to other teenagers is a way to do that.
Amber and some of Taylor's other friends will be holding a fundraising car-wash for Taylor's mother. If you would like to help, it will be Saturday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Advance Auto Parts on Columbia Road in Martinez.

The second set is equally uninteresting. The first Disease of 1996 is short and doesnt wander from the theme at all. Loving Cup is one of the weakest versions Ive heard, played at a slower-than-normal pace and marred by feedback.
Its Ice has a complete piano solo segment, then they blow the re-entry into the chorus. Antelope is nothing out of the ordinary.
An utterly forgettable night in Italy. Zzzz.

Restoration common sense
Published: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
Those of you who went to Wal-Mart in Houma last Sunday witnessed the flooding that is possible with a short rain.
There is nothing the parish can do about it. The building of levees throughout southern Louisiana will never protect all of us from high-water flooding. Creating more lakes is all. These hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are a waste. Now we intend to spend billions in BP fines to build more levees. Professorial engineers have said the levees won't work. Politicians have ridden this horse into the ground.
When you try to solve a problem, first understand why the problem exists. South Louisiana is sinking, and there is nothing we can do. Secondly, the coast has washed away with tidal action for hundreds of years. Land loss started at the coast but is also losing elevation farther inland.
Now with all the building north of us in Houma, the river and heavy rains are flooding us.
The only common sense and much cheaper way to try and re-claim the coast is spoil dredging from the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana could buy and have them built in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes — four giant dredges. Work one near the Mississippi River, one near Houma's coast line and one near Cameron. One dredge will be rotated in dry dock for maintenance. The coast was lost first; rebuild it first. Levees do not rebuild the lost coast.
The coast and BP fines belong to the people, not the politicians who have made a giant blunder again.

CONSaver can help you get back all those corrupt saves from a banned Xbox 360 Profile/Console.
II. Usage
Place your KV.bin into the Resources folder, it is best to use your KV.bin from an ibuild extraction to ensure the correct size (Size on disk should be 16,384 bytes. If you use a KV.bin that is not from the nand you are going to be using your gamesaves on, the resigning process will fail for games that require the Console ID to be correct.
Create a save (any game) using the Profile you wish to recover the saves to, console and the storage device you wish to transfer the corrupt games saves to and copy that save to your PC. in CONSaver, go to settings, click open... and point to the newly created game save. It will get the Profile ID, Console ID and Device ID out of the game save to use for uncorrupting other gamesaves.
For FTP, set your FTP settings under Settings, then just click download, select the profiles you wish to use and click ok. Once you are done with the files just click upload and it will upload the edited files to you Xbox 360. Local FTP content will be deleted when you close CONSaver.
For Local files, click 'Add...' and point to either the root directory containing all your gamesaves or to a folder containing a single gamesave and click ok. Now just click UnCorrupt to scan through and uncorrupt and profile that is corrupt. You cannot use FTP upload for Local Files unless you put the local folders in '/FTP/' and in the E* folder.
This will not allow you to trade gamerprofiles between profiles for some games, it will only allow you to transfer saves from your old console onto your new one.
The KV.bin is not REQUIRED from the console you are putting the saves onto UNLESS one of your saves is Forza 3 or Braid (I am unsure if any other games require it). If you do not have one of these games or do not mind if you cannot transfer them across or dont have a way to get your KV.bin, then you can obtain a KV.bin from many other applications such as le fluffie (or basically any other resigner application out there)
All game saves store your Console ID in 2 locations, 0x36C which is the location which most games use, but some games such as Forza 3 also cross check it with the second location at 0x6. Changing 0x6 changes the signiture in the CON file and requires it to be resigned, resigning requires a KV.bin to resign it correctly. If a KV.bin is used that is not from that console that you wish to use the saves on, then the value at 0x6 (which is the second location for the Console ID) gets altered to the console ID of the KV.bin used, due to the resigning process. Therefor, games such as Forza 3 will see that save as corrupt and wont load it.
99% of games do not use the value at 0x6, and may only use 0x36C to get the console ID. A KV.bin is only needed from your console for that 1% of games, otherwise a generic KV.bin is fine to use.

A broad sampling of conservative talk radio does not paint a robust picture of the people who listen to it. Now, before you grab pen and paper and begin to draft a rebuttal, I urge you to hear me out on this. I think that I can be so convincing that even the most ardent follower of Rush Limbaugh will be too embarrassed to claim it.
I am not going to have to bring up unemployment, health care, oil and gas drilling, Iran, or Paul Ryan lying about his marathon time to convince you. I did my research last week while driving to Grand Junction. I decided to listen to the XM satellite radio conservative talk radio station, there and back. That's right, five hours of Republican Party jabber on the upcoming national election along with criticism about Barrack Obama's freedom to choose the wrong religion and place of birth.
During this stint behind the wheel, I got the conservative perspective from three distinctive and widely popular national program hosts. I say distinctive not because they each gave a different view or even had a different sound to his voice, but because they each broadcast in a different time slot; one broadcast in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
If you are a male conservative talk radio fan or a female standing by your man who is a fan of conservative talk radio, we might as well begin by talking about, you know, manly stuff. I don't mean the death penalty or the right to bear arms. I don't mean drill baby drill. I don't mean the right to smoke filter-less cigarettes in the church of your choice. I don't even mean football or weight-lifting. I'm talking about the actual chemistry of being a man here, because the vast majority of advertising on conservative talk radio centers exactly on that.
In my experiment I got the conservative agenda in five minute segments between seven-minute advertisement series. The agenda is beside the point. About every other advertisement on the conservative talk radio channel had to do with erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and penile enlargement.
I know this doesn't mean that everyone who listens to conservative talk radio places high emphasis on these issues, only that a very large segment of it does. In free enterprise, born free, and free market America, advertisers aren't getting these spots for free. It's only a guess, but my guess is that a spot on the Sean Hannity show can only be paid for by selling lots of penile enlargement kits; no obligation, money back guarantees, and free trial offers withstanding. These penis problem companies advertise where they know they have an audience. They determine this scientifically through statistical sampling, market studies, and actual experience!
I did say that these advertisements accounted for about half of the sponsors of conservative talk radio shows. To get a fuller read on the make-up of the audience, we have to take a look at the rest of the ads that had nothing to do with testosterone draughts and completely natural products that can result in three-hour erections. Fair enough. From what I could gather, the balance of advertising on conservative talk radio covered personal debt consolidation and getting the Internal Revenue Service to settle for a fraction of the amount of back taxes owed to them. Oh, and lest I forget; hoarding gold.
I understand that my brief experience with conservative talk radio doesn't prove anything about any particular person who follows it regularly. (Which now that I think about it, regularity was another personal problem advertisers addressed.) But, it doesn't disprove anything either.
If I was making this stuff up about what kinds of products were being sold on conservative talk radio or presenting it to you out of context, that would be one thing. But, I'm not, so that means it's the other thing, namely: we are what are bombarded with. So, unless you are a man with a small unit that won't firm up and you lack the manly vigor necessary to file your tax returns on time and instead use what little energy you have to wrack up unmanageable credit card debt while hoarding enough gold to survive the apocalypse that might otherwise put you out of your misery, I'd stop listening to that crap. Just a suggestion.
Roger Marolt has gone back to listening to Outlaw Country on XM channel 60 where they don't promote anything but drinking, fighting, womanizing, and big trucks. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Home damaged, garage destroyed in fire caused by storms
SCOTT COUNTY, Tenn. - It wasn't flooding in Duffield, Virginia on Thursday, but a downed power line and fire caused problems there.
A major power line brought down by Wednesday's storms set off an electrical fire that has left a family wondering what to do next. There are now major electrical problems for their home and a total loss of a garage used by the husband's repair business.
Connie Addington and her family were in Kingsport at the time. "[Our] neighbor called us and told us that they had seen smoke over there. He thought that our place was on fire and we jumped in the car, but the storm was so bad we couldn't get here. It took us forever to get here," she said.
A rental property was also damaged, but that occupant was also not at home at the time of the fire.

GM Says CEO Pay Leak "Misrepresented the Truth"
General Motors Co. Chief Executive Dan Akerson does little to hide his impatience for the federal government to quickly sell off its remaining 19% stake in his company, and the latest flap over GM's executive pay illustrates why.
As required by the terms of its 2009 federal bailout, GM has to get a special pay czar at the U.S. Treasury to sign off on executive salaries. The Detroit Free Press and others reported that GM was seeking to raise Mr. Akerson's compensation by $2.1 million to $11.1 million this year. The company is also seeking raises for other senior executives, the paper reported. (Here's the latest version of the Free Press story.)
The headlines about Mr. Akerson's pay coincided with a hearing today before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on the topic: "Bailout Rewards: The Treasury Department's Continued Approval of Excessive Pay for Executives at Taxpayer-Funded Companies."
This morning, GM issued an indignant rebuttal.
Reports that General Motors has requested an increase in Dan Akerson's 2013 compensation are false. In fact, Dan specifically asked to keep his compensation at the same level for 2013 as it was in 2012 and 2011. That amount of $9 million is what the company submitted to the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation.
Unfortunately, someone who obviously did not understand the compensation request leaked the information in a way that misrepresented the truth in order to score political points on the eve of a congressional hearing.
We ask that media outlets that reported the false story to correct the record.
GM has asked for raises for 18 other executives.
The leaks on GM's pay request also follow on the heels of a report last month by the Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) that criticized the Treasury department's willingness to grant pay increase requests for executives at bailed out companies, including GM, Ally Financial and AIG, the big insuror. The Inspector General, Christy Romero, detailed how GM lobbied for higher pay for senior executives, stating that Mr. Akerson lobbied outgoing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for relief from the pay restrictions imposed as conditions of the company's bailout.
Ms. Romero reprised her criticism in this morning's House hearing, stating in her testimony that the Treasury should go back to its original position that executive pay at companies still on federal life supports should be limited to $500,000 a year except in unusual circumstances.
Mr. Akerson is the lowest paid among the CEOs of Detroit's Big Three auto makers. Ford's Alan Mulally was paid $29.5 million in 2011 and got another $58.3 million in stock for leading the auto maker's turnaround — achieved without bankruptcy or a federal bailout. Chrysler Group LLC CEO Sergio Marchionne turned down salary for 2011, but was paid nearly $19 million for running Italy's Fiat S.p.A.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (F) Misconstrual of book...

|(H) Misrepresentation an... >
|(L) Invention of evidenc... >>
(G) Invention of evidence: the Ribbentrop memoirs
1. This openly supportive behaviour of Hitler towards Goebbels is extremely difficult for Irving to reconcile with his claim that Hitler was furious about the pogrom and extremely angry with Goebbels. The evidence presented above makes it clear that there is no indication of any kind in the historical record that Hitler disapproved of the pogrom. Instead, there is clear evidence for Hitler's support. This is clearly the reason why he stood by Goebbels in the aftermath of the events of 9/10 November 1938. Irving cannot admit this. He cannot explain why Hitler failed to dismiss or even discipline Goebbels despite what Irving describes (without any justification) as his 'fury' at the attacks on the Jews. Irving indeed has to concede that it is 'baffling why Hitler tolerated what Goebbels had done.'137
2. In The War Path, Irving suggests it was because he 'post facto endorsed' his actions.138 In 1996, however, Irving has a different explanation: 'Ribbentrop relates that when he tackled Hitler about the damage Goebbels had done, Hitler rejoined that this was true, but he could not let the Propaganda Minister go - not when he was just about to need him again.' Irving cites Ribbentrop's book Zwischen London und Moskau (Between London and Moscow) as evidence for this claim.
3. It is typical of Irving's slapdash scholarship that he fails to give a page reference to the relevant passage in the book, but an examination of Ribbentrop's text reveals that the only relevant passage in it dealing with the events of 9-10 November 1938 is the following:
I explained to Hitler how serious the effect of such unlawful antisemitic measures must be on our own people, and drew his attention to the unavoidably serious consequences of the excesses. He said in response to this, with great earnestness, that one could not always regulate the course of things as one wanted to, and that everything would be once more brought into an orderly course.139
4. Whatever one makes of this passage, there is no reference at all here to Goebbels or to any discussion of demands for his dismissal: these appear to be the pure invention of David Irving.

George H.W. Bush Shaves Head in Solidarity With Sick Child
Former President George H.W. Bush has shaved his head to show solidarity for the sick child of a Secret Service agent.
According to a statement issued by a Bush spokesman, the two-year-old child is undergoing treatment for leukemia, and is losing his hair as a result. The Bush spokesman identified the boy only as Patrick.
Secret Service agents also shaved their heads in solidarity.
George and Barbara Bush lost their second child, 4-year-old Robin Bush, to leukemia almost 60 years ago. The security detail has launched a website, www.patrickspals.org , to help with expenses associated with Patrick's treatment. – Associated Press

One of the many attractions that brings visitors to Ottawa is the National Arts Centre (NAC), a world class showcase for music, theatre and dance. We are fortunate that the NAC is only a short walk away from Albert House Inn. Because of the Centre's proximity, many of our guests stay with us to attend an event that they have prebooked and others are delighted to find that they are able to take advantage of performances during their stay that they otherwise would not have an opportunity to enjoy.
We thought we would present some things about the National Arts Centre that you may not know.
The NAC was designated a National Historic Site in 2006. A description of the heritage value and character defining elements can be found on Canada's Historic Places website Canada's Historic Places.
The creation of Canada's National Arts Centre was part of the explosion of pride and optimism that led to the celebration of Canada's 100th birthday in 1967. Unfortunately, the NAC's construction fell behind schedule. It took seven years to complete and did not open until June 2, 1969, two years after the celebratory year. Southam Hall, the largest venue with over 2,300 seats is most likely a name familiar to those who have attended performances there. But did you know that the hall was named after G. Hamilton Southam, an ex-diplomat and Ottawa resident who took a modest proposal by local citizens to build a decent concert hall in Ottawa and developed it into a magnificent edifice and national organization for the arts. You can read more about the creation and development of the National Arts Centre at "About the NAC " The NAC In A Nutshell.
The Centre is one of the largest performing arts facilities in Canada, at 1,158,000 sq ft (107,600 m2) and is the only multidisciplinary, bilingual, performing arts centre in North America, and one of the largest in the world. The NAC orchestra is considered one of the world's leading classical-size orchestras. Pinchas Zukerman,
the current Music Director's recordings have received 21 Grammy nominations, and 2 Grammy wins. He will be stepping down in 2015 and Alexander Shelley, the youngest Music Director ever appointed, will be taking over then.
Have a look at the Christmas Preparations for this year's festivities at the NAC and remember, if you want to attend any of the wonderful performances, Albert House Inn Bed and Breakfast is a fine accommodation near the National Arts Centre. Here's a link to the NAC Box Office. We look forwarding to welcoming you to our Inn.

A referee-administrator will oversee the September 18 Democratic runoffs for sheriff, chancery clerk and supervisor in Noxubee County, Miss., after a federal judge banned the local party leader for discriminating against white voters.
The removal of Ike Brown as chairman of the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee came Monday in an order issued by U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee.
Lee's order satisfied his June 29 opinion that black political leaders in Noxubee County violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by discriminating against white voters.
The U.S. Department of Justice brought the federal lawsuit, the first of its kind in the country, accusing black political leaders of discriminating against white voters in the majority black county.
Lee appointed former state Supreme Court Justice Reuben Anderson, the first black to serve on the court, as superintendent of elections for all Democratic primaries and runoffs through November 20, 2011.
Both the Justice Department and attorneys for Brown and the county Democratic Executive Committee had earlier agreed on Anderson's appointment.
Anderson will assume all electoral duties of the chairman of the executive committee and its members.
Lee said Brown cannot be present in the circuit clerk's office two weeks before any primary election except for matters pertaining solely to him or his immediate family.
Brown also was ordered not to be present in polling places unless he is voting, has been appointed as a poll watcher for a candidate, or Anderson has appointed.

Texas to Provide Two-Thirds of U.S. Wind Growth this Year
The installed wind power capacity in the United States is on track to increase by more than 3,000 megawatts (MW) this year, with two-thirds of that growth occurring in Texas, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). The trade group's first-quarter market report, released on May 10th, notes that new wind projects in Hawaii, Maine, Oklahoma, and Texas have already added more than 100 MW of new wind power thus far this year. More than 1,000 MW of new wind capacity are under construction in Texas, including a 240.8-MW addition to the Sweetwater wind plant, a 232.5-MW addition to the Buffalo Gap wind plant, and the 200-MW Lone Star wind plant. Each megawatt of wind capacity will produce enough electricity over the course of a year to equal the power needs of 250 to 300 average U.S. homes. See the AWEA press release.

"We are poised."
It is my privilege to serve as the 15th president of the University of St. Thomas.
Now in its 131st year, St. Thomas has evolved from humble beginnings as a men's seminary and college into a comprehensive coeducational university that is the largest private higher education institution in Minnesota. Even with that growth, we continue to focus on the needs of individual students and fulfill our mission statement to educate them "to be morally responsible leaders who think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good."
The "tagline" that we use on our website and in our advertising encourages members of the St. Thomas community: "Challenge yourself, Change our world." In my short time here, I have found a caring and compassionate community that seeks personal growth and truly engages in and creates positive change in the world.
I invite you and all members of the St. Thomas community (faculty, staff, students, parents and alumni) to partner with me and one another to lead this already strong university to even greater levels of aspiration, achievement and positive impact on our world.

Liverpool Message Board
A word on Doni
It was all a bit bizarre how this guy seemed to be on our books but unseen at the start of the season with no comments about him. I remembered he got released on 31st Jan but didn't know how or where to. He actually signed for Botafogo but the reason he hadn't appeared for us or had comment made was because he suffered a cardiac arrest during a club medical at Melwood back in the summer! He wasn't very good for us as a player but I wanted to wish the guy well, he is still not able to play football but hopefully he will back and well for them in the near future.

Come on Doni. Pull through bud. You can do it, you've got loads of support from Anfield.

Wow that is a real shock.
We often complain that we don't get enough information from the club, but I assume they kept the lid on this one for good reason. Once released it could really have hurt his reputation as a player if it was the press who was telling potential clubs he has a heart problem rather than Doni or his doctors.
I do hope he gets to play again. Your right never really did much for us, but nothing against him. But I do also hope he takes his doctor's advice and only plays if it's safe.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- A group of five boys who apparently call themselves the "Charlie Rape Gang" are facing simple battery charges.
Two of the students have been expelled, but all five were able to return home with their parents.
On Tuesday night, worried parents from Lakeside Middle School in Columbia County took their concerns to the school board.
News 12 obtained five incident reports filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. Parents say these alleged gang members inappropriately touched their kids at school.
Jennifer Rose's daughter goes to Lakeside Middle School. She spoke at Tuesday's meeting.
"These were organized, planned acts," she said.
Another parent, Cara Doran, said her son had been sticking up for others.
"I had to go pick up my son, who was crying in school," Doran said.
Some upset parents are asking for something to be done.
Jennifer's husband, Andy Rose said, "every day that goes by, every minute that goes by, another incident could happen."
Parents are talking about a string of what they consider to be attacks. Middle school students at Lakeside are claiming the group grabbed them and then simulated sexual acts on them.
One mother, who wanted to remain unidentified, says her son was attacked by the so-called "Charlie Rape Gang."
"The boy came up to him in the hallway, put him -- in his words -- in a bear hug and did to him what doggies do for a lack of a polite word ... hump him."
Incident reports spell out a troubling trend. The principal even sending home a letter explaining to parents of what was going on. That letter sent to parents on Feb. 21.
"I think we all deserve answers for the safety of our children," said the mother of the alleged victim.
The boys were suspended for two days, but some are saying that is not enough.
News 12 took those questions to Columbia County School Superintendent Charles Nagle, including whether a two-day suspension was enough of a punishment.
"Well two days out of school, you need to do everything you can to find every way to keep students in school and on track," Nagle replied.
So, the question here is: "Did the school system act appropriately?"
"Well, that's a matter of opinion. The law doesn't allow us to take them out back and paddle them," Nagle said.
Mr. Nagle said they handled the circumstances appropriately with what they could prove. They are asking for more involvement from parents and to continue reporting their child's concerns. He says this type of behavior "will not be tolerated."
Meanwhile, some parents are sticking to their stories.
"I don't see how a crime is considered a prank," said the mother of an alleged victim.
News 12 has learned those boys are suspended.
Investigators say the key thing here is where the victim was touched. If the victim is touched on their intimate parts, at that point, sexual battery would be considered.
They say there was no evidence to suggest this.

There are two forms of relapsing fever, tickborne and louseborne. Both diseases are caused by spiral-shaped species of Borrelia bacteria.
The name relapsing fever comes from the disease cycle – a succession of peaking and waning as the bacterium spreads in a host, is attacked but not eliminated by the immune system, and begins to multiply and spread again. This relapsing cycle can repeat for months if not treated. Though relapsing fever is seldom fatal in humans, it can be very serious and prolonged, particularly for women who are pregnant due to the threat of infection and death of the fetus.
Tickborne relapsing fever can occur anywhere in the world where certain species of soft-bodied ticks, such as Ornithodoros turicata and Ornithodoros hermsi, are found. In the United States, most cases of tickborne relapsing fever occur in the West and are associated with summer cabin vacations. Many cases also are found in parts of Africa.
Soft ticks, unlike hard ticks to which most people are accustomed, usually feed at night and only briefly attach to a host. Their typical blood meals are taken from small animals such as squirrels, mice, and chipmunks, but they also will feed on humans and spread disease. Because their bite is painless, and they only feed for about 15 minutes before returning to their nests, most people never know they were bitten.
The video below shows field work done for research published in November 2012 in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases: Endemic Foci of the Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia crocidurae in Mali, West Africa, and the Potential for Human Infection.

ANTIOCH -- A car and bike show will be held this weekend to help boost a local restaurant owners' ongoing efforts to raise money for needy children in his hometown in Mexico.
Rafael and Alie Medina, owners of Cocina Medina Mexican Restaurant on 5005 Lone Tree Way, say the proceeds from Sunday's event will go to Cuxpala, Mexico.
The show, which runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (registration starts at 9 a.m.), is co-sponsored by the Asphalt Outlaws Car Club. It is open to cars of all makes, models and years.
During an annual trip to Rafael's hometown in 2011, the Medina family watched some kids playing soccer against a team with uniforms and equipment. The children from Cuxpala were playing with normal worn tennis shoes or barefoot, yet still were winning, Alie said.
"I thought that rather than putting money toward knickknacks for relatives, we could do something for them," she said. The Medinas bought the kids all new uniforms and cleats.
Upon returning to Antioch, the Medinas were compelled to make it an annual donation, and started raising money through the help of customers.
In 2012, they provided gift baskets with toys and outfits for 150 kids. They changed the format the next year as to reach more children. As a result, they helped roughly 300 kids, Alie said.
"We're new at it. We're still trying to figure out the best way to reach the most kids," she said.
Outlaws club member Jere Fournier said his group found out about the efforts and wanted to help.
"We saw what they've been trying to do, and hoped maybe we could help drum up some money and have a little fun," he said.
Registration is $25. For more information on the event, call Fournier at 925-625-0135.

Sony's new PlayStation Network terms of service, which basically exist to try and stop the company being taken to court by disgruntled users, aren't exactly popular in the US. If you're from Europe or Australia, though, relax: They don't apply to you.
A Sony spokesperson has confirmed with Kotaku Australia that across the territories governed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, the terms of service agreement users sign has not changed— as such the "don't sue us" clauses present for Americans are entirely absent for customers in Europe and Australasia.
"Although the Terms of Service (TOS) in the SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) region have not been changed, in the regions where they have, this updated language is designed to benefit both the consumer and the company by ensuring that there is adequate time and procedures to resolve disputes", the spokesperson said.
"There is also a section of the TOS that educates users on how they can opt out of this portion of the TOS. As Australia is part of SCEE therefore there is no change to the TOS."

You are in the midst of exams and your Google calendar looks busier than a MySpace homepage. Prepping for a test that counts for much more than any you've taken in college may sound downright nuts. Yet if you want to go straight to grad school – bypassing a 9-to-5 job or a 6-month trot around the globe – you may want to crack open that LSAT, GMAT, GRE, or MCAT book now.
That is not to say you need to kill your precious T.V. time. But familiarizing yourself with the test now, even if that means spending a couple of hours a week, will help greatly. Then, when summer is near, you won't be starting from ground-zero prep but will already have a little momentum.
For the MCAT especially, which, of the graduate tests, is the most cumulative knowledge based, the more you can start learning the better. And the MCAT, unlike the GRE, will relate to most the classes you are taking. Both strongly emphasize critical reading skills, vocabulary (especially the GRE) and writing chops (if you've been writing 30-page papers the shorts essays shouldn't be a problem!).
Nonetheless, on the whole all tests reward college students, assuming you have spent the last few years hovered over books and have the GPA to prove it. However, if you are taking the GMAT and the GRE but only took a few math courses back when you were a freshman, you will want to make sure to brush up those quant skills now. And don't worry – no calculus. Neither test contains math beyond basic algebra and geometry.
As a college student, you also benefit from having many around you prepping for the same test. Form study groups, share prep books, or just commiserate over the scores on your practice tests.
So block out a couple of hours a week, find a study buddy and get started prepping today. When summer rolls around, up your study time to two hours per day. If necessary, take an in-class or online course with a big GRE/GMAT/LSAT company. Come October, when it is time to take a test, you will be ready to do your best!

SAN JOSE — Sharks coach Todd McLellan said he isn't spending much time thinking about who the Calgary Flames might start for Monday's game at SAP Center.
In Saturday's game at Vancouver, the Flames started a line of tough guys Brian McGrattan, Kevin Westgarth and Blair Jones. Canucks coach John Tortorella countered with a line of Tom Sestito, Dale Weise and rookie Kellan Lain. A line brawl ensued in the first two seconds of the game, with 142 penalty minutes doled out in the first five minutes.
McLellan said he was more concerned with his team starting their four-game home stand on the right note after they wrapped up a 3-0 road trip through Washington, Florida and Tampa Bay. The Sharks enter Monday's game in second place in the Pacific Division with 68 points, 11 points back of first place Anaheim.
"What happens if Doug Wilson signs Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Orr today? Like, where do I play them?" McLellan said, clearly ready for the question. "I can't worry about hypothetical situations. They get to start their lineup. We get to start ours.
"We've got to score one more goal than they do tonight. Points are huge for our team, it's a must, and that's our goal."
That message was echoed by several Sharks players Monday as they seek their third straight win against the Flames this season.
"Come out and establish our game. We can't worry about what they're going to do or what happened," Sharks forward Joe Pavelski said. "We have to play a fast game early, get the crowd into it. We're excited to be home for a bit. Got to start it out right."
Flames coach Bob Hartley brushed aside an inquiry about if he had any regrets about Saturday's game.
"That's two days ago. Elvis is dead and it's time to move on," Hartley said.
Tortorella faces the possibility of suspension after he sought retribution against Hartley after the first period of Saturday's game, as he met with NHL officials in New York on Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Hudson had planned to go fishing Monday, his 39th birthday. Instead, he'll enjoy the All-Star game festivities for the fourth time.
The Giants right-hander was named to the National League roster, replacing teammate and good friend Madison Bumgarner, who became ineligible the moment he threw a pitch Sunday. Hudson has bounced back from a devastating ankle injury that ended his 2013 season with the Atlanta Braves in July, going 7-6 with a 2.87 ERA.
"I feel very blessed, and it's an honor," he said. "It's great to represent the Giants. I've been able to represent every team I've played for throughout my career."
Hudson was a two-time All-Star with the A's and made it in 2010 with the Braves. Hudson said this time means a bit more since his children get to make the trip.
Manager Bruce Bochy had lobbied for Hudson's inclusion, in large part because he kept the rotation on course early on. Hudson had a 1.92 ERA through May as other Giants starters worked to find their footing. Hudson will be the No. 2 starter after the break, taking the ball after Bumgarner.
Bochy announced that Tim Lincecum, Ryan Vogelsong and Matt Cain will fill out the rotation, in that order. Bochy denied that Cain, who has been on the disabled list twice this season, is hurting.
"We think (the extra rest) is going to benefit him," Bochy said. "Tim (Lincecum) is throwing well, same with Huddy and Vogey. This allows us to do this for Matty."

Consumers Skid From Fiscal Cliff to Oil Slick
Consumers are taking a wild ride this quarter, from peering over the fiscal cliff to skidding on an oil slick.
The 18-cent jump in gasoline prices in the past week–the biggest weekly gain in almost two years–adds another negative risk to the consumer outlook this quarter. Not only are workers taking home less pay, more of that smaller stash is being spent at the gas pump.
Gas prices are usually lower during the winter because demand falls as U.S. consumers drive less in the winter months.
But not this year. As Dow Jones Newswires senior energy correspondent David Bird reported Tuesday, the cost of a gallon of gas, $3.54, is higher now than where energy analysts thought the price would be this coming April.
The general rule is that a 10-cent increase in the price of gas costs drivers about $1 billion a month. If prices remain at their current high level with no change in buying habits, households will have to spend less on other goods and services, creating a drag on the overall economy. And bear in mind, even before the gas spike, economists surveyed by WSJ.com expected real gross domestic product to grow by only 1.7% this quarter.
Consumers may be seeing improved labor markets, but that isn't translating to faster disposable-income growth.
The end of the payroll-tax holiday is already cutting into discretionary spending. Weekly store activity tracked by Redbook Research shows January sales were weaker than retailers expected.
Now in February, higher energy costs will influence how consumers feel about the economy and how they shop.
The next broad look at consumer confidence will be the preliminary February reading of consumer sentiment, out Feb. 15. As for shopping, the Redbook target for February calls for a 0.9% increase from January, helped by spending on Valentine's Day gifts and promotions during the Presidents Day weekend.
Sticker shock at the pump, however, may cause shoppers to miss that mark.

Grave Matters: Lone grave in Grandview Twp.
August 17, 2013
GRANDVIEW TWP.—Rees Farra's 139-year-old final resting place isn't in the most accessible area of Grandview Township....
She noted at the time of his death there were also two other Farras, William and Samuel, who owned properties adjacent to the Webber farm where Rees was interred. Is it possible when he was buried, they may have thought they were on the property of his brother Samuel. Just a simple error of judgement. Could also be the highest point on all three properties.

Consumer Borrowing Posts Slower Growth in June
Consumer borrowing outside of mortgages climbed at the weakest rate in four months in June, raising questions about Americans' confidence and economic well-being.
Americans' total outstanding debt—excluding home loans–rose at a 6.48% annual rate in June from a month earlier to $3.21 trillion, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. That marked the slowest rise since February. The report reflects what Americans owe in credit-card debt, auto loans and student loans.
Still, consumers are steadily adding debt over the longer run. Consumer debt rose at a 7.8% pace in the second quarter after climbing 6.7% in the first three months of the year.
The report sent mixed signals about the state of consumers. Americans added to their debt loads for the fourth consecutive month, indicating they may be feeling more secure as the labor market and broader economy strengthen. But the gains have eased in recent months, clouding the outlook for consumer spending in the fall.
"Those with jobs feel more secure about holding jobs and are more willing to pull out their credit cards to make purchases," Credit Suisse economist Dana Saporta said. But she added that the slower gains in recent months could portend slower spending ahead, a development that would limit economic growth. "There's a lot going on in the world right now that may be shaking consumer sentiment," she said.
Credit-card use eased in particular in June. Revolving credit, reflecting total credit-card balances, climbed at a 1.3% pace in June after rising 2.4% in May and 12.3% in April.
Non-revolving credit—generally auto loans and student loans–increased at a 8.43% rate in June, a solid gain but down from the prior month's 9.32% increase. Many Americans have been replacing aging cars after holding off such purchases during the recession and early in the recovery. Student debt also has grown as Americans rely less on savings to cover college and graduate-school costs.
The U.S. economy relies on consumer spending as the biggest driver of growth. Consumers stepped up spending in the spring after a weak first quarter, fueling a rebound in the broader recovery. Stronger spending growth will be a key factor in determining whether the economy can sustain the second-quarter momentum.
Economists generally view slower credit-card use as a sign Americans are reluctant to add debt and may only be buying essential products and services while forgoing discretionary purchases.
