Followers of Rihanna ripped the singer for comparing photographers to Nazis.
According to MSN.com, the singer was recently photographed in Auckland while standing by a window, wearing nothing but a towel. Which, for Rihanna, could be considered incredibly modest.
She shared the image on Instagram, with a caption saying, "I hate these (N-words) more than the Nazi (sic)."
Right. She didn't like the guy taking her picture, but still showed it to a gazillion people.
The line is apparently from the Kanye West song "Flashing Lights." But we can't blame him, or he'll punch us.
The website said a number of Rihanna's followers complained.
"You hate some people who snap a few photos more than people who killed six million," said one follower. "When you're standing in the window in the view of people, don't blame paparazzi for doing their job," another wrote. "Quit being a brat."
Yeah. What they said.

Had this App for a While it's a fairly decent Application which cleared a lot of wasted space on my MacBook, and have installed the AntiVirus portion of the App which seems to be working well. But also a downside of this App is that it can be kind of buggy at times. But so far I would say it is worth the money that I payed for it.
just bought it
This is the best of any other full-coverage apps I've ever
encountered. I wish it came in a backup disc for re-installation. I'd highly recommend this app for ANY MAC user or LAN, WAN administrator.....++++++++
A fine refine tool...up to now has been very good...and many extras...sure it cost$ ..but so what...
Just bought the MacKeeper on the 7th Jan 2011 after evaluating other utilities. It's an effective tool to own and the only one out there, trust me. My MBA and iMac performances have been improved substantially. Their online chat support team is excellent and I could not not asked for more. This is a great tool must be seriously consider if you are serious about what to be installed in your machine.
The app has a decent look, but is incredibly buggy and is very hard to get rid of. I better stay with Onyxâ¦
I completely love MacKeeper. The anti-virus integration not only looks for known mac virus' but also uses wine to search for hidden window virus sleeping on your computer. I also love that it will remove the unnecessary bloat from applications i.e. extra languages and universal binaries. The update tracker does a great job at monitoring known applications and providing direct links to the updates online. The login items is great for speeding up your computer and the default apps has saved me quit some time in not having to right click and choose an application every time I want to watch a .mov file in vlc and other sorts. I feel secure with the anti-theft that will tell you the location of your mac and snap a picture of the user if your mac is stolen. Data encryption and shredder are also useful. Overall I'm happy with the $30 I spent on it.
hmmm... I'll stick with Cocktail or Main Menu...
Sketchy, to say the least.

Hi there,
I'm having some issues with 5.1 audio in MKV files (PMS running under Ubuntu Server). The channels seem to get mixed up so the audio comes out of the wrong speakers; the centre channel seems to come out of the the rear right with other speakers playing different channels (not sure which ones are which). Has anyone else had this issue? Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
Other than that PMS is a great piece of software and is working a treat!

It appears the Flyers are, in fact, interested in acquiring Roberto Luongo, which is a move they should be looking into making at the start of this CBA.

After more than four years on the job and no playoff games to show for it, the brash GM didn't do enough to keep his job.

Why the dismissal of the long-standing commissioner would be the first step towards healing the NHL's relationship with its fans.

With the latest CBA proposal, the league has folded on issues it said it wouldn't budge on. Why is the NHLPA winning once again?
The NHL players reportedly pay Donald Fehr about $3 million a year to run the affairs of their association. Given recent developments, all 750 of them should be tripping over themselves to give him an enormous raise.

At a charity event Wednesday night, most players who were asked seemed to be in favor of dissolving the union.
The players have been playing their cards extremely close to the vest, but if the responses at a charity game involving locked out players is any indication, you can expect them to vote overwhelmingly in favor of giving their executive committee the authority to file a disclaimer of interest this week.

I vividly recall chatting with Jeff O'Neill the day the lockout ended in 2005. Upon discovering that veterans with 10 years experience would get a single hotel room on the road, O'Neill quipped, "Boy we really took them to the cleaners on that one, didn't we?" That was the tone of things in 2005.

STEUBENVILLE - A big second inning and a puzzle named Evan Sawyer were too much for Steubenville Post 33 to overcome as visiting Beverly/Lowell Post 389/750 claimed a 6-2 win in a nine-inning affair at Vaccaro Field.
Sawyer went the distance for Beverly/Lowell, striking out nine Steubenville batters, walking none to go with two hit batsmen.
"He just came back from vacation and he kept telling me 'I'm strong coach, I'm strong'," said Beverly/Lowell head coach Todd Engle. "I was going to take him out in the sixth inning. He had his pitch count up, and said 'coach I haven't thrown for a week and a half, I'm really strong'. We're now 9-10 and he's lost two games this year 2-1 so I knew he wanted the ball. I joked with him I didn't want his mom coming after me after the game because I don't know what his pitch count was, but it had to be about 120.

Beverly/Lowell Post 389/750 's Lance Schafer rounds third on his way to score during fourth-inning American Legion baseball action against host Steubenville Post 33 Tuesday night. B/L won 6-2.
"I never let pitchers go over 100, but he wanted the ball, I gave it to him, and I'm happy for him. He's a good kid."
He received all support he'd need by way of a three-run top of the second. Gunner Smith, Terrance Mayle, Jordan Satterfield, Devin Leister, and Austin Campbell all ripped singles in the frame with Smith, Mayle, and Satterfield all finding their way home.
"That second inning they had some balls find holes, they got three runs, and that was pretty much the difference in the game right there," said Post 33 head coach Don Young. "We never really found a rhythm. It was close in hits, but there kid didn't walk anybody though. We just couldn't get the timely hit."
Fact Box
Beverly/Lowell 6, Steubenville 2
Beverly/Lowell 031 100 100 - 6 11 2
Steubenville 002 000 000 - 2 8 3
BEVERLY/LOWELL (9-10): Sawyer (WP, 9K, 0BB) and Smith. Schafer R; Estes R; Sullman 2S; Smith D, S, 2R; Mayle 3S, R; Satterfield 2S, R; Leister S; Campbell S.
STEUBENVILLE (14-4): Corsi (LP, 2K, 0BB), Murphy (4th, 2K, 2BB), Porreca (8th, 2K, 1BB) and McClurg. Pierro S, R; Mihalyo 2S, R; Colabella S, RBI; Panella 2S, RBI; Linn 2S.
Added Engle, "That's been out problem all year, as far as stringing hits together. This was probably our best performance this year offensively. I usually stay in the dugout, but, since out first base coach wasn't here I was out there. I enjoyed that. I got a little sweat up, and the kids were kind of laughing, joking 'I've never seen coach move like that'.
"All in all it was a great night against a great opponent."
After Smith scored in the top third to make the score 4-0, Post 33 found success against Sawyer in the bottom of the frame. Steubenville scored both runs and connected for four of its eight hits. Bryan Pierro, Steve Mihalyo, Brenton Colabella, and Jimmy Panella hit consecutive singles with Pierro scoring on Colabella's hit and Mihalyo scoring off Panella's bat.
That was all for the Post 33 offense and Post 389/750 added insurance runs in the fourth and seventh innings to create the 6-2 final score.
"He (Sawyer) was pretty good," said Young. "Even our hits we didn't get any real good swings on him. We had eight hits, but we didn't have an extra base hit. We weren't finding too many gaps.
"That's part of our problem here so far, we couldn't get an extra hit when we needed it."
Justin Corsi was tagged with the loss, going three innings with two strikeouts and no walks. Chris Murphy threw the fourth through seventh innings with two strikeouts and two walks. Aleks Porreca struck out two and walked one over the final two frames.
"We have to be able to plate more runs," said Young. "We have to find ways to score more runs. Take that one inning out and I thought our pitchers did a real nice job.
"That's a solid team, they went to the state tournament last year, they're very talented, but we have to not just hit the ball, but score more runs."
Steubenville (14-4) hosts Wheeling today while Beverly/Lowell heads up river to Toronto.

Information on federal legislation, mandates, programs, executive orders, and other actions that impact state finance. In fiscal year 2011, federal funds represented 34 percent of total state expenditures, although this percentage is likely to decline following the wind down of the funding provided through the Recovery Act. The possibility of future federal budget cuts combined with likely congressional changes to healthcare, K-12 education, tax policy, and other areas, has led to a significant level of uncertainty among state decision-makers.

KTVU-Channel 2 is claiming victory in last weekend's local television coverage of the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport.
Late Monday afternoon, the station issued a news release stating that it "owned" the story, based on a number of "firsts." KTVU claimed that it was the first Bay Area station to break news of the crash on the air and online, and that it was the first to issue it via mobile devices and social media.
In addition, the Channel 2 news team, the release said, was the first station to offer aerial shots of the crash and the first to deliver a live report from the scene.
KTVU said it broke into regular programming at 12:13 p.m. -- 26 minutes before the next local station came on.
"Being first on air and on every platform in all aspects of our coverage was a great accomplishment, but being 100 percent accurate, effectively using our great sources and social media without putting a single piece of erroneous information on our air, is what we are most proud of as a newsroom," said KTVU news director Lee Rosenthal.
The station claimed that its early coverage was even picked up by the ABC network, instead of ABC's own San Francisco-based affiliate, KGO.
KTVU, based in Oakland, delivered nine consecutive hours of crash coverage on Saturday and moved the Giants-Dodgers baseball game over to sister station KICU to accommodate the story.

ALAMEDA -- Pearl's Deluxe Burgers at Alameda South Shore Center closed its doors Sunday, less than two weeks after the owner told the city's Planning Board that weekly food trucks events at the shopping center were undermining his business.
"The bottom line is that the food trucks were killing me," Young Han Yi said.
The manager and senior cooks are among the five of the restaurant's 14 employees who will continue working at the company's two locations in San Francisco, Yi said Monday. The others were laid off.
"Our employees understood why we needed to do it," he said. "They know that times are tough right now. Our customers also understood. We've gotten phone calls and cards from people telling us they were sorry we were leaving."
Pearl's Deluxe Burgers opened in Alameda in August 2010 and mostly broke even until the food truck gatherings began each Saturday at the shopping center in June last year, Yi said.
"I expected not to make money for the first two years," he said. "But then the food trucks started and I was losing between $5,000 and $8,000 each month. I cannot continue a situation where I have six employees standing around on a Saturday, waiting for customers to arrive."
Yi was the only restaurant owner to address the Planning Board on Jan. 15, when it reviewed and made minor changes to the city's food truck guidelines, including making it easier for the trucks to operate at more locations at the former Alameda Naval Air Station.
The board also asked city officials to gather more information on what kind of impact the trucks have on retailers and brick-and-mortar restaurants after listening to Yi.
The City Council adopted the guidelines in December 2011 so that the municipal code would comply with state law, which allows the trucks to set up on any public street as long as a vendor meets safety requirements. The aim of having local guidelines was to provide the city with extra control.
The food truck gatherings draw about 1,400 people to Alameda South Shore Center each Saturday.
Eric Fonstein, a development manager with the city, said the city has received no complaints about the trucks and that an internal analysis by the shopping center's management found its retailers experience "a significant increase in overall sales" during the gatherings.
While food trucks were the main reason behind his Alameda restaurant closing, Yi said his decision also hinged on making a profit at his two restaurants in San Francisco, where he noted that all businesses with 20 or more employees must offer health insurance or help pay for the city's health care access program.
Yi's restaurants are located on Post and Market streets. A family member of Yi's owns the Pearl's Deluxe Burger in Mill Valley.

With over 30 years of international level competition, as both a coach and an accomplished athlete, Jarek Koniusz enters his 22nd year at the helm of MIT's men's and women's fencing program. A four-time Northeast Fencing Conference Coach of the Year, he has built MIT fencing into a perennial powerhouse, qualifying 40 fencers to the NCAA Championship and guiding the Engineers to 18 New England Championship titles during his tenure.
Koniusz began his intercollegiate coaching career at Baruch College in 1990, first taking the helm of the men's program. The following season, he was charged with leading both the men's and women's squads. After a two-year hiatus, Koniusz returned to the college ranks with his appointment at MIT in 1994, becoming just the second coach in the history of the women's program.
Coached by Ed Korfanty, the current U.S. Olympic Team Coach who led Mariel Zagunis to Olympic gold medals in 2004 and 2008, Koniusz competed internationally for Poland's national team for nearly two decades. He earned two individual medals at the World Championships (bronze in 1981 and silver in 1989) and was a gold medalist at the World Cup. In June 2012, Koniusz was appointed as a board member of the Korfanty Sports Foundation, whose mission is to increase support for fencing in the United States.
Koniusz holds a master's of science degree from the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, Poland and has earned the title of fencing master in sabre, epee, and foil. In 2002, he was honored by the Polish Fencing Federation with a Lifetime Achievement Award, given to the fencer who has made a lasting contribution to Polish fencing in its 75-year history. The same year Koniusz was selected by the U.S. Fencing Federation to coach the United States sabre team in the World Cup competition held at Koblenz, Germany. He also assisted with the bronze-medal winning U.S. men's sabre team at the 2010 Junior World Championship in Baku, Azerbaijan.

|Previous College:
Following a four-year stint as a member of MIT's fencing team, Tan Trinh '96 joined the coaching staff in 1997. He went on to receive a master's of science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.
|Assistant Coach
|7th at MIT
Davis Merritt joined the MIT fencing coaching staff in 2009. He has been affiliated with the Boston Fencing Club since he began fencing at the age of five.
Merritt captured the Under-13 national title, was twice the Under-15 national champion, won the Under-17 national championship, and was crowned the Under-19 North Atlantic champion. He claimed the New England Division championship on two occasions and clinched the Bay State Games title. As an undergraduate at St. John's University, Merritt received NCAA All-America honors.
Merritt competed on the 1995 Pan-Am and 1997 national teams. In addition, he helped the Under-20 and Division 1A men's foil teams capture national championships.

DOE and DOI Pick Solar Demonstration Site in the Nevada Desert
DOE and the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) announced on July 8 that they will collaborate on a new "solar demonstration zone" to demonstrate cutting-edge concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) will facilitate all activities required to successfully implement the demonstration of advanced solar technologies in the area. The 25-square-mile demonstration zone is in the southwest corner of the Nevada Test Site, a former nuclear testing site, on land owned by the DOI's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and administered by DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration. Following planning and reviews, construction of demonstration projects is scheduled for September 2011. The demonstration zone will serve as a proving ground for new solar technologies, providing a critical link between DOE's advanced technology development activities and full-scale commercialization efforts.
CSP systems concentrate the sun's energy and capture that energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. The solar demonstration zone will complement BLM's establishment of 24 "solar energy study areas" on federal lands across the Southwest by helping to ensure that the most advanced CSP technologies are ready for commercial deployment. Plans are underway to create a new DOE funding opportunity for demonstration projects at the Nevada Test Site that will include matching investments from the private sector. DOE selected the demonstration zone after evaluating 26 locations for suitable solar conditions, terrain, and infrastructure to support solar energy projects. In addition to collaborating with each other, BLM and DOE are working closely with the U.S. Air Force to identify and address potential problems with operating the demonstration zone. See the DOE press release, the MOU (PDF 135 KB), DOE's CSP page, and BLM's renewable energy Web site. Download Adobe Reader.

HAYWARD -- A city councilman is trying to make Saturday a banner day for a local businessman.
Councilman Francisco Zermeno is organizing a "cash mob" at The Cobblers, a Foothill Boulevard business. He's urging residents to show up at 1 p.m. Saturday to spend money at the shop, which sells and repairs shoes.
"Even if everybody only spends $10, if you have enough people, that can make a day for a small-business owner," said Zermeno, who often ends his remarks with the phrase, "Hayward on!"
He added: "It should be a fun event, and maybe it will introduce new people to this great shop in Hayward."
While cash mobs are not new, this will be a first for Hayward. Cash mobs started last year in the Midwest as an offshoot of flash mobs, in which a group of musicians or dancers break into a surprise performance at an unconventional venue, such as a mall food court. There have been cash mobs this year at other stores in the area, including San Lorenzo, Castro Valley and Pleasanton.
"I think it's a keen idea and said, 'Let's try it in Hayward,'" Zermeno said.
Zermeno said he chose The Cobblers because the shop is practically a Hayward institution. "We want to encourage unique shops," he said.
The Cobblers is one of the oldest stores in Hayward. The family-run shop has been on Foothill Boulevard since 1958, according to its owner, Rudy Grasseschi, who said he wasn't exactly sure what a cash mob is.
"I don't really know what it's all about. But I'll have some refreshments, and we'll have some special pricing in the store," he said.
Zermeno's idea of a cash mob at The Cobblers was endorsed by Kim Huggett, president and CEO of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce.
"It's a great little shop," Huggett said. "Rudy has been a fixture in Hayward for years. He's stayed downtown, and he has hopes for the rebirth of the downtown."
Huggett, who said he has had heels replaced on at least three pairs of shoes at The Cobblers, said he planned to be part of Saturday's cash mob.
Zermeno tried to organize cash mobs at The Book Shop and Tu Tienda Azteca on B Street this summer, but the efforts fell short. He said he didn't promote the events enough but that he's learning. This time, he's using Facebook, contacting the media, and making an announcement at Tuesday's council meeting.
And he's planning another cash mob at 1 p.m. the following Saturday, Dec. 8, at Sun Gallery, 1015 E St. He envisions a Hayward cash mob every month or every other month.
Though cash mobs sprang from flash mobs, "We won't be dancing," Zermeno said, laughing, though he would like everyone to bring a $10 bill to wave in the air.
Contact Rebecca Parr at 510-293-2473 or follow her at Twitter.com/rdparr1.
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: 22443 Foothill Blvd., Hayward (parking in rear of store on Maple Court)

As Jared Leaf continues his recovery in a San Jose hospital, several people in and around the San Jose State football program are keeping the Spartans' junior linebacker in their thoughts.
"He has all my prayers, and everybody's supporting him and is behind him," former SJSU linebacker Keith Smith said. "Hopefully he's going to be OK."
Leaf suffered second-degree burns to his skin after racing through his burning apartment on Wednesday night. Recovery time is unknown, but coach Ron Caragher doesn't expect the injuries to be career-threatening.
Leaf was one of three recipients of the team's Outstanding Scout Team award last year and was expected to play a lead role for the defense in 2014. He earned the starting middle linebacker job coming out of spring practice.
"It's tragic for this to happen to a special young man," Caragher said. "He's so talented in many ways."
Nevada offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich, who was at Hawaii for one season with Leaf, tweeted: "Send your prayers to my man Jared Leaf, SJSU linebacker. One of the most enjoyable recruiting experiences."

Mac Williamson and Mitch Delfino had run-scoring hits in the San Jose Giants' five-run seventh, and they went on to beat visiting Bakersfield 5-3.

Diphtheria was once the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Diphtheria was feared greatly. In the 1920s, 100,000-200,000 cases of diphtheria occurred each year resulting in 13,000-15,000 deaths. Diphtheria is now rare (fewer than five cases reported per year since 1980) thanks to improved living conditions and widespread immunization. However, recent surveys show that up to 60% of adults in the U.S. are not protected against diphtheria.
Protection provided by childhood immunization decreases over time and many adults do not receive recommended booster doses (every 10 years). This is a concern because diphtheria the disease continues to occur in other parts of the world. From 1990 to 1998, more than 150,000 cases and more than 5,000 deaths were reported in the former republics of the Soviet Union. This outbreak, and others around the world, illustrates what can happen when immunity levels fall. Outbreaks in other countries also increase the risk of diphtheria importation into the United States.
The first toxoid against diphtheria was developed around 1921, but was not widely used until the 1930's. In the 1940's, diphtheria was combined with pertussis vaccine and tetanus toxoid to make the combination DTP (or DTaP) vaccine for children.
Diphtheria toxoid (DT) is also combined in other vaccines:

Rumors and discussions about a live-action Halo film have been popping up for so long that sometimes it feels like it's never really going to happen. Thankfully, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn has made the idea of a Halo film largely irrelevant. The live-action Halo web series stars the Master Chief and a handful of UNSC recruits, including one Daniel Lasky, who pops up again in Halo 4's campaign and multiplayer.
And it's fantastic.
We already spoke with the producers of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, and this week we chatted with Daniel Cudmore, the man behind the Master Chief in Forward Unto Dawn (and Felix in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2), about what he'd want out of a full-length Halo film, among other things. We even got him to drop a hint about the finale of Forward Unto Dawn, which airs this Friday.
Complex: What's it like being the Master Chief?
Cudmore: It's pretty cool! You know, at the end of the day you're filling this pretty iconic, badass character, but at the same time, you know, you've got to—you've got to feel like you've got—no pun intended—massive shoes to fill. And to make sure that you get it right. Because the last thing you want to do is—being the first guy to really play the character, you don't want to go—just these horribly wrong decisions go awry and everyone who absolutely loves the character is like, "What the hell did that guy do?"
What's your favorite part about being that character?
I think, like, in all honesty, it's just that suit. The suit that Legacy Effects in LA built was just so cool, and I had a full, 3D body scan, so it's just like completely built for me, right down to the millimeter.
So you really got to wear the armor?
Yeah, that's all, it's 100 percent practical. It's got, like, a—I've got sort of a rubber suit underneath that goes just sort of down to my elbows, and then just under my knees. And then all the pieces just sort of build on top of it. And yeah, it's 100 percent practical. There's nothing on there that has been added after the fact.
That's nuts.
Yeah, it's cool, man.
Was it as heavy as it looks?
For one of the stunts I had to do I wanted to really find out what the weight was, just so we didn't get me flying way over the mark by accident. But it weighed in at about 63 pounds. Yeah, but I mean, it seems like a lot, but then if you think about it, it's spread across your whole body. So it kind of—I mean, the best description for me would be, you know, swimming with clothes on. Where everything kind of feels a bit muted, you know what I mean?
It definitely looks nice and heavy in the episodes. Is that your voice as well coming out of the helmet?
No, they got a voice actor on that. It's funny because I actually did all the dialogue and full acting in the suit with the other actors, and then they put a voice over top. Which, I mean, that's their choice. I don't know how clear my voice would have been with all the commands going in the helmet and mumbling through the helmet and everything like that.

At The Fork in the Road: Trauma Healing: As peacebuilders, we must learn to recognize and examine the trauma that often smolders beneath conflict. We might be able to provide a quick fix, but we can't transform the presenting conflict without uncovering — or somehow attending to — the underlying trauma. The conflict can actually worsen. Victims are re-traumatized and, if the trauma goes unhealed, the victim may become the aggressor; the abused may become the abuser.

Communicating with the Terrorists and Their Supporters: To send a well-crafted message that can actually be heard as it was intended, we need to pay attention to all three elements: message, channel, and recipient.

Difficulties of Confronting Unconventional Warfare: Strategists of unconventional warfare have for decades sought to turn the anger and might of a military giant against itself. Thus, the September 11 attackers stand in a tradition of unconventional warfare with a considerable track record of success.

Four Reasons to Use the War Metaphor with Caution: Given our reliance as a nation on a war metaphor for describing many difficult situations (e.g., war on poverty, war on drugs, war on crime), it is natural that we would talk of our current situation as a state of war, even if we do not envision an immediate massive counter-attack. Nevertheless, this metaphor should be used with great caution.
by Jayne Seminare Docherty, September 16, 2001
Frameworks Other Than War: As we have listened to the TV commentators following the plane crashes at the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon, the metaphor of "war" has been used over and over again. When thousands of people die in a planned disaster, few commentators seem to have any other frame of reference. Metaphors are powerful because they subtly define what we know, what we see, what we can't see, and what we can imagine.

How Might Peacemakers Respond to Terrorism?: The events of September 11 may leave those of us committed to non-violent methods of conflict resolution puzzled about how to respond. As military and intelligence forces mobilize around the world, what is our responsibility?
by David Brubaker, October 2, 2001
Is U.S. Policy Being Driven by the Pentagon's Hardware?: If this really is a new kind of war against a new kind of enemy, shouldn't our leaders be taking the time to develop the necessary tools before "ramping up" a war effort to the point where the military hardware and tactical needs drive policy rather than the other way around?

Keeping Our Options Open: Waco or Apollo 13: Crises are marked by events that do not easily fit into existing organizational and conceptual categories. During a major crisis, we discover that:
- We cannot easily understand the meaning of the events.
- We struggle to define the problems exposed by the crisis.
- Even when we think we have some idea of the nature of the problem, we do not have the language for expressing our ideas.
- We have difficulty mobilizing resources to deal with the problems arising out of the crisis.
- We need to create new organizational structures and new organizational relationships in order to address the crisis effectively.

Manufacturing Consent:

Pacifist Response: To speak to this issue we do not have to go back to an imagined debate between Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington. It was our own revered general and former president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who observed that war never settles the problems of the world; it only exacerbates them. This does not make Eisenhower a pacifist, but it does lend considerable credibility to their contention that war is not an effective solution!
by C. Norman Kraus, October 1, 2001
Peace Activists or Concerned Citizens?: It is gratifying to discover that someone in the media acknowledges that not everyone is giving unequivocal support to President Bush's call for a war against terrorism. It is also disconcerting to see how those urging caution are being rhetorically marginalized even as their activities are being described.

Reframing Terror from the Perspective of Conflict Resolution: The events on September 11, 2001 that overtook our daily lives and reoriented our national and global priorities pose significant challenges for our newly emerging century. They leave us with the question — Quo vadis — where are we headed? Where we are going and how we get there depends a great deal on how we define the nature of our journey, its challenges, and ultimately its proposed destination. We might best understand our destination as a horizon, visible as a guidepost but never removing the need for continued journey.
by John Paul Lederach, November 16, 2001
Revisiting the Original Blueprint of Terrorism: "Terrorism will persist so long as oppression, poverty, and injustice persists." This statement, spoken by my political science professor at George Mason University, Joseph Conley, is quite reflective and profound because it requires us to understand terrorism in a different perspective. It requires the victim of terrorism to understand that the terrorist perceives the victim as being responsible for the violence that was inflicted against him. The victim is responsible because of his injustice, his oppressive behavior or his insistence on keeping a society in poverty.

Revisiting the War Metaphor: Sept. 25, 2001: During times of uncertainty – when no easy policy answer or response is apparent – we must resort to analogy to make sense of the new problem facing us. These analogies are expressed through metaphors.

Strategy in Afghanistan: Initial responses to September 11 focused on the question of how to eliminate Osama bin Laden and the threat of terrorism. In recent days a broader set of related questions are emerging. First, how do we relate to the people of Afghanistan? This is a key question. Second, how do we gain support of Afghanis to apprehend bin Laden and take him to trial? This is an immediate question. A longer-term question, but nearly as important to the success of efforts to address terrorism and support the emergence of stability in the region is, third, how do we assist the creation of a credible government in Kabul?
by Ali Gohar and Ron Kraybill, October 5, 2001
The Challenge of Terror: A Traveling Essay: Though natural, the cry for revenge and the call for the unleashing of the first war of this century, prolonged or not, seems more connected to social and psychological processes of finding a way to release deep emotional anguish, a sense of powerlessness, and our collective loss than it does as a plan of action seeking to redress the injustice, promote change and prevent it from ever happening again.
by John Paul Lederach, September 16, 2001
Trauma Recovery and Justice: September 11 and its Aftermath: What form of justice will continue and sustain a recovery process for the families of those lost in this tragedy, and for all of us as we seek security in our world? Is it only the punitive kind that uses the rule of law and possibly violence to 'right the wrong' or is it justice that leads to transformation of unjust circumstances through the development of just relationships?
by Barry Hart, September 16, 2001
What Motivates the Terrorist or Potential Terrorist?: Our instinct is to assume that anyone who would fly a passenger jet into a building, killing himself, everyone on board, and thousands of other people in the building must be deranged. This judgement often finds expression in claims that such individuals are evil. If this is the case, then crafting any kind of a preventive or cautionary message for individuals who might take similar actions is futile.
by Jayne Seminare Docherty, September 24, 2001
Win the Battle But Lose the War?: Yes, we are at war. But it's a different kind than some think. This is a battle for the heart and soul of humanity. If we lose, our grandchildren will inherit a world more miserable than our own. How the United States responds to the atrocities it has experienced will have a big impact on that future world.
by Ron Kraybill, October 20, 2001
A Call for Thoughtful Response: Finally, as the full magnitude of the horror of these events becomes apparent, the repercussions are going to be personal as well as political, social, and cultural. We will each experience this trauma in our own way and our responses will be shaped by our past experiences with war, violence, and terror. It is important that we each find places where we can process our personal horror. We also need to be particularly mindful of the impact of these events on our neighbors whose lives have already included violence and terror in the United States and around the world.

My dad was cracking me up this morning. He does that a lot because he's a master joke teller with a folksy Midwestern wit. "So this guy walks into a bar," he says for starters. My dad opens most of his jokes this way, and they almost always end with some line about a lawyer or a chimp.
Lord knows -- I miss him. In fact, my dad passed away a year ago this week. But now, more than ever, he seems to be with me. On the long drive to Oregon last week, we talked politics and football. This morning, our topic was golf. "I shot a 59," he told me -- and I could picture his twinkling green eyes and Irish grin. Only in heaven can you shoot a 59 at 88.
AROUND TOWN: Look for increased security in the Village -- in the wake of an uptick in misdemeanor crimes. The Montclair Village Association has signed an agreement with Bay Alarm to increase patrols, cameras and alarms in the business district. The company will also provide security escorts for the 200-plus business people in the commercial core.
Live music comes to Montclair tomorrow evening as part of the Fine Arts and Crafts Fall Fest. Grille One Carvery hosts a quartet from the Athenian School in Danville while neighbors TOUCH Salon and Metro unveil work from Oakland artists Enrico Antiporda, Karen LeGault and Barbara Lee from 6-8 p.m.
Meanwhile, more Village merchants are adopting mosaic planters, handcrafted by Snapshot Mosaics. Following the Montclair Lions Club lead, US Bank, Farmstead and Montclair Sports have jumped onboard and the list is growing.
And welcome to the new women's nightie shop -- Two Figs. Deb and Chris Figge design and manufacture sleepwear for all sizes, but they specialize in "support for larger cups." They've moved into Tulip Grove's old space at 2078 Antioch with an initial three- month lease and Chris says he hopes the shop's "steep discounts and aggressive cross-promotion with other merchants can build some buzz."
ROAD WARRIOR: A Montclair teen is overcoming great obstacles to train for her second-half marathon. Chayla Fisher, 14, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 10 months of age, but has fought through the pain and challenges her whole life. She's using a fitness training program called Team Challenge, which supports the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. If you'd like to support her or find out more, see http://www.active.com/donate/norcalsfLV12/chaylaf.
IN MEMORY: She was a four-legged fixture in the Village for years. Muffy Butz or "the uffster" -- as she was known to friends -- passed away peacefully on Oct. 1 after 17 years of life. Owner Richard Buijs says the floppy-eared dachshund/schnauzer with the "weenie body" will be remembered for her public service as Deputy Dawg of Montclair and for her full page photo in Reenie Raschke's My Town Montclair Village Book. "She will be missed by all creatures who knew her," he writes.

Bikinis. Beers. Big hats.
Sounds like all the staples of a good beach party, right? Well, amend that image: those bikinis are covered in fur; the beers don't need a cooler to stay chilled; and the monster hats are adorned with horns.
Yes friends, Ullr Fest is upon us. And this year - the festival's 50th anniversary - should prove to be bigger, better and crazier than ever.
All right, first, let's do a quick tutorial for all the newbies and visitors (longtime locals, feel free to skip ahead, or read on for a quick brush-up). The celebration was started by locals in 1963 to thank Ullr, the Norse god of snow, for Breckenridge's 300-inch powder average each winter. Local legend has it that Ullr's travels brought him to Breckenridge from Norway in the 1960s. When the best snowstorms cover our mountains, it's Ullr - rumored to be a skier of unparalleled skill - who gets the credit.
Besides the history, there are a few more things you need to help celebrate: the correct pronunciation of Ullr - pronounced Oooler, rhymes with ruler - and a good Viking hat, something locals don for all the festivities.
The week kicks off Sunday with the crowning of a new Ullr king and queen, nominated each year by residents. For 2013, the honor goes to locals Dave and Cindy Love.
"Dave and Cindy Love received a lot of nominations for the 2013 Ullr king and queen," said Sandy Metzger, events director for the Breckenridge Resort Chamber (BRC). "They're longtime residents of Breckenridge and active members of the community, which is something we look for in every king and queen."
The Loves' official coronation will be topped off with live music from the Summit County band, The Luv Brothers, and, for the first few hundred people, free beer. (Yes, free.)
The centerpiece of Ullr Fest has always been the parade. For those who've never been, look it up on YouTube. A rowdy, Ullr-invoking crowd lines Breckenridge's Main Street as floats carrying locals dressed in full snow gear (or sometimes, barely-there bikinis) and props like ski jumps, hot tubs and toilets parade down the street.
"We've seen a lot of really creative floats in the past," said Rachel Zerowin, BRC spokeswoman.
For this year's parade on Thursday, the BRC is encouraging folks to step it up even more. Not only in honor of the 50th - although, the prize for best float is amped up to $1,000 - but to show off a little to the folks from the Travel Channel, who will be there to film the sure-to-ensue craziness for its show, "Edge of America." The night is topped off with a town bonfire and fireworks.
Of course, other events spread throughout the week are by no means boring.
Monday is family night, with snowshoeing, ice skating and a bonfire at the Gold Run Nordic Center.
There's the Ullympics on Tuesday, full of zany events like the frying pan toss, group ski racing and ski boot relay. On Wednesday, singles ages 21 and up can seek out a soulmate at the Ullr Dating Game. On Friday, Jan. 11, laugh it up with comedians Marc Ryan and Troy Walker. The celebration closes out on Saturday, Jan. 12 with a pond hockey tournament and Viking-themed costume contest.

OAKLAND — A's right fielder Josh Reddick capped his injury-ravaged 2013 season by having surgery performed on his right wrist Wednesday.
The surgery, done at Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Mass., by Dr. Mark Belsky, should have Reddick healthy and ready to go come spring training.
The wrist was a problem for Reddick all season. He suffered the initial injury by sliding into a wall in Houston during Oakland's first road series of the year. He went on the disabled list twice in an effort to let the wrist heal, but it never did.
The right fielder, who led the club with 32 homers and 85 RBIs in 2012, was limited to a dozen homers and 56 RBIs while hitting .226.
"It really never left him alone this season,'' manager Bob Melvin said late in the year. "He never wanted to be out of the lineup, but he couldn't help but be hurt by it.''
Reddick is the second A's player to have surgery this offseason. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray had surgery on his left thumb at the Cleveland Clinic on Oct. 18. He, too, is expected to be ready for the start spring training.

Welcome to the UMBC Club Sports Homepage! Please see our list of clubs or choose from the list for additional resources. Check out past events and upcoming games under Recent News & Upcoming Events!!!
About UMBC Club Sports
Club Sports are a recreational program designed to be an athletic alternative that bridges the gap between existing intramural and intercollegiate programs and have been established to promote and develop the interests and skills of their members. Clubs may be instructional, recreational, and/or competitive in nature. While some compete with other universities and clubs throughout the country, others may participate in local demonstrations, shows, or contests. Some clubs are individually-oriented while others are team-oriented. All club sports are student-governed by an elected board of officers.
Participation in club sports is open to all UMBC students, faculty, and staff. Clubs encourage new members, even those with little or no experience. Joining a club sport is a great way to polish skills or even learn a new sport. Some clubs are well-established and require tryouts while others welcome all who are interested. Most clubs practice on campus, while a few have facilities off campus. Contact a club if you would like more information or stop by a practice and check it out.
UMBC Club Sports do more than provide recreational and athletic activities. The key to the success of this program and each club is student leadership, interest, involvement and participation. Students are active participants in the workings of their programs. From scheduling to by-laws to managing finances, students play a major role in making the UMBC Club Sport program successful. The Club Sports Council (CSC), made up of a representative from each club sport, provides another opportunity to develop leadership skills. Students gain experience in the areas of group organization, problem-solving, budgeting, and time management. The strengths and success of club sports is dependent on the effectiveness of student leadership and the degree of involvement of the club members.
Club sports are added in response to interest and support by the student body as well as the resources available to successfully support a new program. Please see our FAQs page if you are interested in adding a new club.
I. Mission Statement:
The UMBC Club Sports Program is a recreational sports program for students, faculty and staff, designed to meet athletic needs not met by existing intramural and intercollegiate programs.

The Club Sports program values good sportsmanship, responsibility, and respect, while giving athletes a chance to gain valuable skills through administration, competition, and leadership.
II. Purpose
The objectives of the Club Sports Program are:
To offer an opportunity for athletic competition and an opportunity to develop skills in specific sports.
- To promote character growth in student-athletes, including but not limited to, integrity, respect, loyalty, teamwork, and leadership.

Cranial mononeuropathy III -- diabetic type -- is usually a complication of diabetes that causes double vision and eyelid drooping.
Diabetic third nerve palsy; Pupil-sparing third cranial nerve palsy
Cranial mononeuropathy III - diabetic type -- is a mononeuropathy. This means that only one nerve is damaged. The condition affects the third cranial (oculomotor) nerve. This is one of the cranial nerves that control eye movement.
This type of damage may occur along with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Cranial mononeuropathy III is the most common cranial nerve disorder in people with diabetes. It is due to damage to the small blood vessels that feed the nerve.
Other causes may include:
Symptoms may include:
An examination of the eyes will determine whether only the third nerve is affected or if other nerves have also been damaged. Signs may include:
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in vision problems related to the nerves in the eye (neuro-ophthalmologist).
There is no specific treatment to correct the nerve injury.
Treatments may include:
Some people may recover without treatment.
Many patients get better over 3 to 6 months. Some persons have permanent eye muscle weakness.
Call your health care provider if you have double vision and it does not go away in a few minutes, especially if you also have eyelid drooping.
Controlling your blood sugar level may reduce the risk of developing this disorder.

While occupancy numbers for resort bookings in Summit County are still suffering from last season's poor snowfall, that trend looks to be making a turnaround.
The month of December was down in occupancy by 2.6 percent from 2011.
"It is no surprise that December's business is down from last year," said Ralf Garrison, director of the Mountain Travel Research Program (MTRiP). "Advanced reservations have shown that trend for the past six months since the trend came forward."
The reasons for the downward trend, Garrison said, were due to last year's lack of snow combined with this year's slow start, as well as the relative uncertainty of the economy. Discussions about the economy during the presidential election quickly became discussions about the fiscal cliff, which affected consumer confidence.
"Last year was a bad year and there's a little bit of a hangover effect," Garrison said. "Guests were concerned about whether the resorts would be back in Mother Nature's good graces. They sat on the sidelines longer and waited ... for insurance."
The snow that the mountains received around Christmas was positive, said Garrison. Although it was too late for out-of-state visitors to take advantage of, those closer to the area, such as people on the Front Range, got the "snow message" and have started coming back.
"Now the elections have come, the fiscal cliff has come and the snow has come," Garrison said. "The rhetorical question is if there's enough momentum being created now that we can offset the slow start."
According to the numbers in MTRiP's latest occupancy report, the answer to that question is "yes." Midweek occupancies in January are consistently pacing above last year by at least a few points each day and some days by as much as 15 percent higher. Overall levels will be between 40 and 60 percent occupied each day. The weekend revolving around the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday is looking particularly positive.
The positive trend looks to continue into February. The day of the Mardi Gras Ball, Feb. 9, may even push past 90 percent occupancy. Predictions for the month of March show a decline in the first half of the month with an increase in the second half. The winter season, overall, is currently pacing 5 percent above last year's occupancy at the same time.
The increased amount of visitors during the past few snowfalls is positive in more ways than just numbers, said Garrison, as they will act as messengers to others.
"They bring with them smartphones, that have the communications power of a broadcast studio and a social network the size of the universe and they begin to communicate a message to the rest of their friends and network about how the Christmas season was," Garrison said.

Women's Health
Nov. 19, 2009 -- An investigational drug that didn't perform well as an antidepressant appears to slightly boost sexual desire as well as the number of satisfying sexual encounters in women with lagging libidos, a study shows.
The research was presented this week at the 12th Congress of the European Society for Sexual Medicine in Lyon, France.
Some wonder if the drug, called flibanserin, will be the new ''female Viagra," but critics say the effect is minimal. Meanwhile, the manufacturer is planning additional clinical trials and expanding the participant pool to include older women.
The big news, according to those who studied flibanserin? "There is something that works on the neurotransmitters in the central nervous system to alter sexual desire in a positive way," says John M. Thorp Jr., MD, McAllister distinguished professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and a principal investigator for the U.S. trials.
Testing Flibanserin
At the Congress, researchers reported the pooled results for 1,378 premenopausal women, average age 35, who took 100 milligrams of the drug or a placebo pill during a 24-week period. The trials were in Europe and North America. The women kept track of the number of satisfying sexual encounters -- defined as intercourse, oral sex, masturbation, or genital caressing by their partners. All women had to be in a stable, monogamous relationship. All women had a diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), marked by a decrease or absence of sexual desire accompanied by distress in the patient.
When researchers compared sexual desire and events during the last four weeks to the first four weeks, they found that those on the medication went from 2.8 sexually satisfying events in the first four weeks to 4.5 in the final four weeks. Those on placebo went from 2.7 to 3.7.
''The difference was [about] one additional satisfying sexual encounter a month," says Thorp.
The study also shows the drug improved sexual functioning and distress related to the sexual problems.
About 15% of the women taking the medication dropped out due to adverse events, according to information from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, which makes the medications, while 7% of women on placebo discontinued the study. Among the most commonly reported side effects were daytime sleepiness, dizziness, anxiety, and fatigue.

I've been using QCAD (not very frequent user, only occasionally).
I just upgraded to 2.2.2, because 2.2.0 didn't allow me to change the printing
line thickness. 2.2.2 can do that and I'm happy about it.
However, I found everytime when file dialog opened, QCAD crashes on my Mac.
My Mac 10.5.6, 1.83Ghz/2GB RAM.
Both crashes when open file dialog for "Open file" and "Save as..".
Some time it opens file dialog anyway but doesn't display any list of files and then not responding for ages. (then force quit)
I can open recent files directly under File menu. Double clicking dxf file from Finder opens the file OK.
So File open dialog seems only the problem.
Any advice?
