The US Department of Defense reports:
Iran tested at least seven missiles yesterday, according to news reports, capable of hitting Israel and parts of Europe.
Some news reports carried pictures—supplied by the news website of Iran's Revolutionary Guards—of the missiles. But there's something fishy about those pictures …
UPDATE. Some earlier forgery-exposing work from Little Green Footballs.
UPDATE II. Alerted to photographic anomalies detected by Little Green Footballs, the SMH changes its caption:
In a very questionable handout picture released on the news website of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, four long and medium range missiles rise into the air - but there appears to be identical smoke billowing at ground level below two of the missiles.
UPDATE III. The New York Times is on to it:
Agence France-Presse retracted its four-missile version this morning, saying that the image was "apparently digitally altered†by Iranian state media. The fourth missile "has apparently been added in digital retouch to cover a grounded missile that may have failed during the test,†the agency said.
Have Your Say
Isn't it more likely that the USA photoshopped the pics to aid their desire for their next war… Does Iran have oil?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:38pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:15pm)
Yeah right, invading iraq has certainty eased the oil price...not
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:37pm)
... but the original pic was releases on an iranian govt website…
... and who benefits from high oil prices? those who own oil companies… and which western administration is run by oil families… hmm?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:58pm)
Mike (who replied to Stan)It has nothing to do with the price of oil. It is all to do with what currency is used globally to purchase it. Euro's or Dollars. Whoevers currency runs the oil market can honestly print money without the worry of hyperinflation. Countries currently need to hoard dollars to buy oil, there is no other way to get it. The dollars never make it back into the US economy. However (as Sadam found out) sell your oil in Euros and those dollars start to filter out of reserve banks and back to the states, devaluing the currency...its economic terrorism… and it started the war and that concludes today lesson!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:18pm)
Yeah, Stan. And they sent the photoshopped images to the Iranians so they could then *resend* them, along with their press releases.
You might want to look at the copyright source.
of course, that means you won't be able to blame Bushitler, doesn't it?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:21pm)
If it was the US they wouldn't have told anyone.They would prefer the world thinks Iran is powerful,incase they need an excuse for war.
More likely it was the Israelis who dumbed down Iran's military capability for domestic consumption. If you want your(Israel) own citizens on side for war,best to let them think Iran is weak and bluffing.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (06:14pm)
Hey Stan,
why don't you go and live in Iran??
Let's see how long you would survive before they hang you in the public square.
I think people like you must have dropped on their head when babies.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:06pm)
Is that your real name, Stan? Are you sure you aren't the anti-Semitic South Australian Damian Lataan who is spruiking the same garbage over at his blog?
Tim Blair, a neoconservative Australian 'journalist' with Rupert Murdoch's 'Sydney Daily Telegraph' has published photos of this weeks test launch of missiles in Iran and has claimed that they have been 'faked'. The problem is, while they may have been faked, the chances are they were faked not by Iran but by western propagandists the likes of whom Tim Blair is always keen to accommodate at his blog on Murdoch's paper.
Yep: the Jew-hatin', US-bashin', terrorist-sympathisin' troofers on the left continue to serve up comedy gold day-in, day-out.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (08:24pm)
Bionic, I'm afraid I'm a bit puzzled as to why selling a commodity on a supposedly free market in the currency of one's choice is "economic terrorism." I'm by no means any sympathizer with Saddam or his thugs, but I am deeply troubled by the growing tendency to label any activity that has different interests from one's own "terrorism," which belittles victims of genuine terrorism as well as opens the door to crusading against virtually anything as part of the War on Terror. Let's hope the next action labeled "terrorist" isn't drinking coffee after dark!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (09:17pm)
Think about it, If America were to photoshop an image, why wouldn't they do it properly (ie so it couldn't be easily detected so quick)or just fire some missles for real on a test range.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:34am)
Isn't it more likely that the USA photoshopped the pics to aid their desire for their next war…
Translation: Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! ......
Fri 11 Jul 08 (04:50am)
Why does it always have to be oil? I'm beginnging to think that's what they really want you to think.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (05:18am)
Translation: Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! Blame America! ..
Jeff, if you look at Duddy Diddam's comment a few comments above, it was clearly the Joooooos.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (05:45am)
Does the pope crap in the woods?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (08:59am)
I thought so, but I am graphic artist, I studied both photos and with out a doubt the iranian four missle photo was doctored. two smoke clouds are identical, two rocket blasts are identical
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:45pm)
Jeff, if you look at Duddy Diddam's comment a few comments above, it was clearly the Joooooos.
I point that out later in this thread, Dave!
Fri 11 Jul 08 (05:27pm)
Gold....don't bring more traffic to Lataan's big-on-outrage-thin-on-facts blog! Good grief. You might garnish him with another comment to add to the two he already has (one of which was his own).
Sat 12 Jul 08 (03:37pm)
It was from the state Iranian News outlet. Stop and use your brain for once.
Mon 14 Jul 08 (02:41am)
Now if only AQI could 'shop up another 11,000 or so "militants" to replace the ones they lost…
Lets see the looney conspiracy theorists run with this one.*
*Sound of crickets chirping.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:41pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:21pm)
Bloody hell! A good early call, surfmaster. There's more mental defectives commenting today than at a troofer convention.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:56pm)
Most of the posts in this thread are so utterly moronic I feel dumber just having read them.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:07pm)
That so many barely literate, left wing conspiracy nutjobs are able to access the internet is a sign that Kevin Rudd's promise on free computers is finally being met.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (08:55pm)
When does a conspiracy theory become a fact? you guys are probably still waiting for America to find WMD in Iraq. Lets see if the 'west' is going to fall for the same BS regarding Iran, im pretty sure they'er using the same script.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:06am)
Boy, the conspiracy theorists are certainly off their medication tonight!!!! It's a damn shame these photos weren't around before the 'summit', would have made a great discussion group at the lefty love in. Maybe Kevin could lead an attack on Zimbabwe, we've got 500 troops sitting around doing nothing at the moment. No oil there but there's got to be a servo or two we could plunder!!!!!
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:24pm)
Chump; they found WMD in Iraq, just not as many as they'd hoped.
*shrug* I don't care either way personally, the less WMD were in Iraq the less will turn up on the black market, but upwards of 300 items technically falling into the "WMD" classification HAVE been found.
Sat 12 Jul 08 (03:49pm)
Chump indeed, looking for wmds isn't a conspiracy theory.
If people believe that the photos are fake then attack them and see what happens.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:49pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:55pm)
Comedian , careful . It's hand grenades everywhere, all coming from one side of the fence .
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:56pm)
And what will blowing up a photograph do? (Other than making it bigger).
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:28am)
If people believe that the photos are fake...
It's pretty obvious that they're fake. They're faker than a Bangkok Rolex.
Are you saying that you think they're real?
A faked pic only proves that a picture was faked. The missiles may or may not have been tested. The photo could just be for publicity, propaganda etc. Exactly like the cover of a gossip mag putting celebrities in the same shot to sell a story.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:52pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:29pm)
So what you're saying, Toby Tortoise, is that Iranian government propaganda is about as factually reliable as the content of a gossip mag?
I'd agree with that.
Lets invade Iran because they photoshopped missile test photos. How dare they try and dupe the west. hey, is there any oil in Iran.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:54pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:18pm)
Works for me. The fact that they are a rogue state lead by islamo-fascist scum is just a bonus.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:56pm)
Hey Infidel Pussy, I gather you prefer the rogue states led by christian/jewish-fascist scum. I'm more worried about broguestates such as Ireland which, in common with Iran, has a strange language and a dislike for uppity interlopers.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:30pm)
Not only do I prefer them, I'm a rewards club member.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (08:07pm)
Shouldn't that be cub member?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:31am)
Shouldn't that be cub member?
Well done George, that'll learn him.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (06:03am)
"Works for me. The fact that they are a rogue state lead by islamo-fascist scum is just a bonus."
People like you are really the main problem.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:25pm)
And people like me are a secondary problem!
im so sick of the american goverment abusing other countries for the sake of Israel, who the hell is running that country, the americans need to get back in control and kick those zionists out.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:55pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:52pm)
Oh yeah- blame it on Israel… The fact that the fruitcake running the show in Iran has sworn to eliminate an entire nation should not enter the equation, should it?
Imagine if Israel or the US held a press conference, the purpose of which was to swear to annihilate an entire country… The outcry would never end. But Israel is meant to tolerate this sort of behaviour against them..?
Grow a brain.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:27pm)
leave it to a loonie to try to turn a story about a photoshopped image from a crazy assed regime into an anti-semitic rant.
Obssess much, do you?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:52pm)
I hope you're some sort of weird ironic anti-moby, I really do.

"Imagine if Israel or the US held a press conference, the purpose of which was to swear to annihilate an entire country"
You mean, besides all threats that the US made to drop a nuke on Iran, all threats Israel equally made to wipe Iran of the map, the threat to fully blockade the country (which is an act of war in itself), and the war exercises done at their doorstep (which is an act of war as well) ?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (04:39am)
Really? When was this, and what context would that have been? In retaliation for an Iranian strike, perhaps?
You mean, besides all threats that the US made to drop a nuke on Iran,
Those are Mahmoud Achmedinejad's words. He's the president of Iran, not Israel.
all threats Israel equally made to wipe Iran of the map,
Do you mean those "excercises" in Afghanistan and Iraq? Yes, I suppose they might make the Mad Mullahs a bit nervous. Do you mean the US Navy patroling the Persian Gulf after the Iranians threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz? A wise and prudent thing, if you ask me.
the threat to fully blockade the country (which is an act of war in itself), and the war exercises done at their doorstep (which is an act of war as well) ?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (06:09am)
"Imagine if Israel or the US held a press conference, the purpose of which was to swear to annihilate an entire country"
You mean like every time Bush or McSame talk about Iran. Don't you see the hypocrisy in your statements?
Honestly we have done that, it is a territorial pissing match. The Islamic people are getting a taste of what the Jewish people got in WW2 and you better believe that they would take it to total anhilliation.
Honestly, we, as in the general population, are to blame for being poorly educated on the actuall issues that cause tensions in these countries and are content with having men in suits tell us where to go and who to kill.
We cannot live like that, governments are going to use the one expendable reasource that they have to bolster thier economies. People. And what better way to bolster an economy than to blow another one up. Then you can really make the dough cleaning up the mess you made at their expense.
Fun stuff
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:54pm)
Reply to TheGuy, never has President Bush, Senator McCain mentioned annihilating Iran. Further, you suggestion that the Muslims are getting what the Jews did in WWII would be laughable if it weren't so appalling. Hitler worked with the Muslims, and pledged to aid them in solving their "problem". How does your support of genocide square with the lable of peace?
of course it does, its the third largest oil reserve in the world.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:56pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:24pm)
The US only puts troops on the ground when ther eis oil such as Afghanistan and Somalia.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:36am)
Not to mention all the oil they've pumped out of Kosovo…
Hang on psychos if those photos are real, whats the problem with countires defending themselves, as far as i'm concerned if iraq had missles maybe they could have defended themselves from the american invasion. As far as i'm concerned you need to take the weapons off Israel as they seem to be dangerous and psychotic.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (03:57pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:24pm)
We care not for your concerns, you deluded, despot digging, dim-wit.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:05pm)
Yes jane, because life in Iraq was just peachy before those pesky Americans turned up with their evil concepts of democracy, racial equality and personal liberty. If only they'd still been cowering in fear at the knock on the door from the secret police at 2am for thinking wrong, we could all hold hands and lick magic toadstools together!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:11pm)
Wow, never in my relatively long life have I encountered so many women with the same name as I have since I discovered blogging early this year. What's more the number is growing.
I would be flattered if it weren't for the fact they are dimwits.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:17pm)
If by "countries defending themselves" you mean "committing genocide by launching an unprovoked attack on Israel in an attempt to 'wipe it off the map'" then you might be making some sense. Or were you just not paying attention when they were discussing how to destroy Israel?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:24pm)
Last time I looked, Israel didn't call for the utter and complete destruction of Iran.
Besides. Israel doesn't hang teenagers for being homosexual.
I bet that makes your head hurt.
BTW, Iraq DID have missiles. Excatly like, you know, the ones the mad dictator and his cronies fired at Israel (a non-combatant country) during Gulf War 1. So who was the dangerous psychotic your were talking about?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:54pm)
Jane! The disorientation is nature's way of telling you it's time to play with plush toys and safety-scissors.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (11:29pm)
Yes, I agree with you, Jane.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:20am)
My name is Jane
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:20pm)
What's the problem with countries defending themselves? You mean attacks from countries 1/16th their size that they threatened, as in Israel to Iran? Are you also saying that you support(ed) the evil dictator, Saddam Hussein and his policies of oppression and genocide that a Coalition of over 50 nations ended? You don't support the liberation of oppressed people? Bet you're a "free Darfur" kindof girl, aren't you? Probably got one of those nifty Che t-shirts hanging alongside the Code Pink gear. If all that isn't enough, did you ever finish anything you started?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (08:45pm)
Atrocious spelling and syntax?
Why, it must be someone of the left-wing Bush-bad-Amerikkka-bad-aren't-I-smart-to-have-spotted-it-all-by-myself persuasion.
Shooped by the CIA of New Israel . This will help Israel and NewIsraels case to attack Iran.

Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:04am)
Umm, the photos were released by Iran. Did you miss this part of Tim's post?
...supplied by the news website of Iran's Revolutionary Guards...
Or are you just stupid?
Who photoshopped the pics? Could this be "evidence" that the coalition of the willing can use to stop Iran openning up their own oil exchange and selling in it in Euros instead of American dollars? I mean..thats what got Sadam in the poop!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:01pm)
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:31pm)
I've heard it all now. This one's a newbie. You Lefties sure work overtime coming up with poop like this. Guess it won't do any good telling you about 12 years of negotiations with your hero, or the 17 UN resolutions (although that one ought to count for something since you put so much stock in the UN, or playing a shell game with Saddam, or...no probably not. Maybe one day you'll hear the words of soldiers who tell of finding IEDs with mustard gas, or Saddam's General who has testified repeatedly that they moved alot to Syria, or that we buy all of our own oil rather than loot it. Just ask Kuwait.
Aaah, Photoshop is a great thing. The give away is the blast clouds from rockets 3 and 4 hitting the ground.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:03pm)
Compared to yours, these are nothing. Tiny !
What are you worried about ?
Why don't you just get a few 747's with pesticide and drop on plantations where 90%+ of the worlds Heroin supply comes from ?
I mean, come on..you did 1400 sorties in 24 hours in Iraq.
Surely it's not that hard .
ps. Please, please, NOT 10 pages on why they can't destroy the fields.
Of course they can, you know it too .
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:04pm)

Is it too hard to explain they can't , and why they can't ?
Fri 18 Jul 08 (01:11pm)
SO all the farmers don't starve to death, because you can't distinguish crops from the air, and because contrary to what you've heard satellite imagery can't distinguish vegetation types.
If America were so concerned with world peace and the plight of those rules by tyrants, then they would be invading Zimbabwe and dealing with Mugabe!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:05pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:58pm)
Zimbabwe is OK but Iraq is not - how so?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (05:39pm)
So, essentially, you want to tell the US which countries to invade, and which ones not to. Try supporting them on one highly dangerous megalomaniac who himself wanted to take over the ME oil supplies, and maybe they'll listen to you more politely about the relatively less dangerous to the free world (though quite gruesome) African Commo Tinpot.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:35pm)
If the US invaded Zimbabwe you'd be the first one to squeal "Imperialism!".
Thu 10 Jul 08 (08:16pm)
Corey, not so much imperialism - more like imperoilism.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:42am)
Actually, lachness, a lot of people—especially in Africa—don't have a problem with Mugabe. You'd know that if you'd read the news, especially where that bloody f**khead was warmly welcomed at the African Union meeting.
So, at the very least, America would have to invade most of Africa, just to get at Zimbabwe. That all right with you?
Fri 11 Jul 08 (01:37pm)
Zimbabwe? What happened to Darfur? Guess that is so yesterday. I can't keep up with you Lefties. Why didn't you support the removal of one of the most oppressive, genocidal, threatening regimes on the planet? If you were really for peace, you would have been. FYI lackness...BUSTED!!!
Wait for a false flag event to provide the excuse to invade Iran. Just like the gulf of Tonkin (declassified)false flag event or the USS Liberty style event. Check it out.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:06pm)
It took them less then 48 hours.
But yeah, folks… that thing there in Iraq ,.... that's a mobile Chemical weapons lab.
Moile lab...but our brave Soldiers spotted it using the Bold Eagle technique .
I cannot give away the secret . Maybe in 30 years time .

For heaven's sake, why are we allowing such juvenile inanity to be posted? We already know the type of people the rabid Left attracts; do we really need our noses collectively rubbed in it?
Iran must be laughing. All they need is for someone to say the photos are fake and all the left wing looneys will start their regular, tiresome US bashing. What did Lenin call them?
Thats right, "Useful idiots"!
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:19pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (11:09pm)
The Iranians are laughing because this saber rattling means a higher price for the oil they (and other oil producers) pump tomorrow. they are laughing all the way to the bank, and u and i are paying for it.
Somebody didn't get the message that the Iranian government is absolutely not afraid of the United States.
And they're all posting here. Lot of good it'll do 'em.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:20pm)
Fri 11 Jul 08 (02:00pm)
Somebody better clue in Ahmadinejad and his puppet masters that they better be afraid of the good ol USA. Maybe we can arrange a meeting for them with Saddam.
Well, that brought a lot of sputtering lefties out of the woodwork. The photo's still an obvious photoshop, despite their hysteria.
Yo, lefty guys, let me tell you a little secret, speaking in my official capacity of Eeeeevil Hegemonistic American Thug: we'll do whatever we decide is in our best interests to do, regardless of your shrieking. By all means keep at it, it obviously provides meaning for your lives, but don't expect us to take it into account, okay? And try to hold still for a few seconds, the hidden cameras are pretty good but a really hyperactive head tilter can sometimes blur them, and then we gotta send out the robotic photo recon caterpillars.
Now pardon me, I've got a new lot of Mk I Mod 2 Brown Baby Roasters in that need to be pre-checked. Just between us, there's a rush order on getting these ready to go by midnight Friday. But keep that under your hats, all right?
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:36pm)
America has no concern for world peace, why don't they invade Israel and destroy them for killing so many paestinians. How about the african countries that are going through civil war. What is there obsession with Iran anyway? Oil, money, power in the area.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (04:51pm)
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:10pm)
Gee steph, ever heard of World War 1, what about World War 2? How about Korea? If it wasn't for the US of A you lefties would be living the dream right now ruled by dictators, facists and despots, (no not NSW labor, the other despots).
I suppose you think Somalia is in the Bahamas - that would explain all those US soldiers who died there trying to restore peace.
As for the Israelis I haven't heard of any of them walking onto buses or into shops loaded with explosive belts and blowing up innocent civilians.
For goodness sake get a life or give up the drugs, you will live longer.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:23pm)
I love people like you who scream in one breath that America should never have invaded IRAQ and then throw in the why dont they do it somehwere else. Maybe south africian countries dont pose a risk with terrorism. why dont the South Africian Union do anything about there problems, or France who has much more exposure or the countries who refuse to back the UN in Afganistan. Its funny how everyone looks to US for help when things go wrong but bag them any opportunity
Thu 10 Jul 08 (07:42pm)
Maybe the US should invade Palestine to stop the Palestinians killing so many other Palestinians?
More than twice as many Palestinians were killed by other Palestinians (415) in 2007 as were killed by Israelis (185).
Thu 10 Jul 08 (08:44pm)
We're not in the World Peace business, Steph, my love. We're in the kicking the crap out of whoever screws with us business.
Good thing for Australians too, because if we'd gone into the world peace business in 1942 and done a deal with the Japanese Empire, there's a chance that the Japanese might have kept on moving south and added Australia to their Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere...and I don't think y'all would have enjoyed living under Japanese rule.
Thu 10 Jul 08 (10:02pm)
Steph, are you really a useless idiot? High percentage of Palestinians was killed by their own people… yes, that's right…Palestinians!! They killed each other and blame on Israel and the Jews. Yes, some Palestinians was killed by the Israeli Soldiers (IDF) as the IDF defend Israel from the big threats (shootings, suicide bombings, missile attacks and the militias/terrorists are still using the children and families as the shields from Israeli soldiers). Israel is only democracy and free country in the Middle East, and the muslims have more rights and equals than the rest of the countries in the Middle East?
P.S. - If you think American are evil fascist, worse than Adolf Hitler, why the stupid leftists like you are so much free to protest and speak out against in USA??
Fri 11 Jul 08 (12:57am)
I couldn't care less about what steph has said (no offence intended) but these responses are a bit weird.
surfmaster, the Korean War was a fight in Korea. If I'm not mistaken, nothing happened - the Americans left after a few years.
Blue, nobody asks for America's help from what I've seen.
Corey, that makes perfect sense. Though, still, isn't it scary that almost a third of 600 people killed in Palestine were done so by people of another country?
Dave Surls, thank you for your opinion. Now would you please grow a brain and think for a moment. How many friends can you make kicking the crap out of them? Oh right, you kick them so hard that they don't exist in their original form.
Steven...huh? Your last comment, no question...is it supposed to be a question for yourself? I reckon I understand where you tried to go and I think I can help you. The USA lead some of the great social revolutions of the last century but they don't control the world. How then has Australia stayed free? I don't understand.
Fri 11 Jul 08 (04:34am)
James Madley;
?? Oh, I get it, you're trying to be sarcastic. (Don't give up your day job just yet.)
the Korean War was a fight in Korea. If I'm not mistaken, nothing happened - the Americans left after a few years.
Korea was a United Nations fight, just in case you slept through class. And oddly enough, there do seem to be a few American troop still stationed there as a tripwire against NK.
The rest of your post needs more work; see what you can do with it next time.
Sat 12 Jul 08 (03:57pm)
Yeah kill them Israelis kill good, par! Steph you mama are an idiot.

PROVIDENCE, R. I. -- The Birch Vocational School, which was subject to a federal civil rights investigation in June, is now subject to a probe by the FBI, according to a communication submitted to the Providence City Council.
The FBI and the Office of Inspector General in the U.S. Department of Education are investigating the alleged misuse of Title 1 funds at the school for disabled students, which shares a campus with Mount Pleasant High School.
Title 1 provides federal funds to public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families.
Friday, the FBI's Boston office and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Providence said that they don't confirm or deny investigations.
The Providence school department could not be reached for comment.

Brett Ratner and McG linked with Justice League movie?
A few more names have been linked with Warner Bros' planned Justice League movie....
Hmmmm. Yesterday, we noted in a story chatting about Batman being rebooted as part of Warner Bros' planned Justice League movie that one of the names on the directorial shortlist for the latter was Brett Ratner. We briefly mentioned it because it was a rumour from one source, and figured it best to leave it at that.
But there's now another source, and further names have been added to the list. The latest additions have come from ThinkMcFlyThink's Peter Georgiou (via Comic Book Movie). ThinkMcFlyThink have a good track record with rumours in the past, and the names that were or are on the shortlist are Ben Affleck (who has said that he's not involved), The Wachowskis (Warner Bros is reportedly impressed with their work on Cloud Atlas), Brett Ratner, Ruben Fleischer (presumably Warner Bros is happy with his upcoming Gangster Squad), McG, and Zack Snyder (a logical addition to the list, given Man Of Steel).
How many of those are still in any kind of contention remains to be seen, and Warner Bros' shortlist is likely to have more names on it than that. Without wishing to overstate the obvious, we suspect few would jump for joy if McG or Brett Ratner got the job. We would bet decent money right now that neither will get it.
Zack Snyder? It depends how Man Of Steel turns out (and if he goes on to make Man Of Steel 2). Ruben Fleischer might be the interesting outside choice here (he also helmed Zombieland).
One of the few certainties we can draw here, though, is that Justice League seems a very active project at Warner Bros right now. Hopefully, it follows the lead of Marvel and appoints someone who can at least get near the standard that Joss Whedon has set on The Avengers...

What is the mpg of a bicycle?
To compute my bike mpg we will need three numbers:
- Extra calories burned per mile of bike travel at roughly 13 miles per hour (my average commuting speed). For relatively flat terrain and my weight this number is roughly 42 food calories per mile (obtained from about.com).
- We need a food equivalent for the ethanol production. Let's say I go my extra calories from eating sweet corn. According to the same source, sweet corn has 857 food calories per kilogram. So I will need to eat 49 grams of sweet corn per mile traveled at 13 miles per hour on my bike.
- Now we need to know how much ethanol can be made from 49 grams of sweet corn. The Department of Energy's Biomass Program to the rescue. According to their website, a metric ton of dry corn can theoretically yield 124.4 gallons of ethanol. Since sweet corn is 77% water, this means that up to 0.0014 gallons of ethanol can be made from 49 grams of sweet corn.
Putting these numbers together we arrive at 0.0014 gallons of ethanol per mile or…drumbeat please:
701 mpg
This number is not small, but neither is it very large! There exist experimental vehicles that seat four and achieve over 100 mpg. When fully loaded, the effective, per passenger mpg is 400. If my calculations are correct, Technology is about to bring motorized transport close to the efficiency of a person on a bike!
2 Responses
I've found those sites tend to overestimate calorie burn, especially for experienced cyclists. When I wore a bodybugg, I only burned an extra 17 cals/mile. So a somewhat better number there.

Do Lawyers Have a 1st Amendment Right to Be Cross with Judges?
By Joe Palazzolo
A federal appeals court upheld sanctions against a veteran Florida bankruptcy lawyer who called a judge's findings "half-baked" and then sent a bottle of wine to his chambers with a handwritten note.
The case raised an interesting question, at least in theory: What First Amendment rights do lawyers have to get sharp with judges?
Lawyer Kevin Gleason disagreed with a ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge John Olson, and he let the judge know it.
"It is sad when a man of your intellectual ability cannot get it right when your own record does not support your half-baked findings," Mr. Gleason, whose practice is based in Hollywood, Fla., wrote in a brief filed in April 2011.
The dispute concerned commissions Mr. Gleason's client received from a real-estate deal. Judge Olson ruled that the commissions had to be turned over to the administrator of the client's Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan. Mr. Gleason believed they were exempt.
A couple of weeks later, Mr. Gleason delivered a bottle of wine to Judge Olson's chambers, with a hand-written note that read: "Dear Judge Olson, A Donnybrook ends when someone buys the first drink. May we resolve our issues privately?"
Judge Olson returned the bottle. According to Mr. Gleason, Judge Olson never read the note; it was still sealed when he got it back.

Bait and switch, hidden fees, incomplete order fulfillment, and unresponsive customer service... that seems to be a complete package for staying away.
First they tried to switch me to a more expensive camera package - with all the pressure I should have taken the queue and cancelled. I did get the Nikon kit (body, lens, battery and charger) in less than a week, but that was only part of the "package" deal. Missing camera case, lens cleaning kit. tripod, screen protectors (none of which is worth much), 8GB SDHC memory, UV filter, and Nikon SB-700 flash. 3 emails (don't bother with using their "contact us" page - they do not respond to emails) and 4 phone calls to customer service resulted in a lot of empty promises. Only when Master Card pulled back the charge did I get a response. Within 3 days of that I got the package with most of the missing items - still waiting on that UV filter!
And the great price - hidden away in very small print was a surcharge that made up the difference in their price over any reputable dealer.
And the package had a return address of "The Camera Shop" in Brooklyn, NY - I see on other reviews that the brick-and-mortar store is as bad as their Web store.

Happy Birthday to Me! And Hurricane Katrina.
Thirty-one years ago today, yours truly was dragged from the womb… kicking and screaming and covered in blood from where the doctor sliced open her head while sawing through the gut of her mother.
True story. One with a happy ending, of course. But true nonetheless. I even have the scar to prove it.
I'm typically quite excited about my birthday, but today I'm feeling a little morose. Not so much because I'm another year older. Come on, getting older just means getting AWESOMER. No, today I've been thinking about Hurricane Katrina. Which, in case you don't remember or have yet to be reminded, occurred 6 years ago today. Thanks to some recent conversations and a timely NPR segment about a new Katrina documentary by Harry Shearer of Spinal Tap fame (!), my skepticism about what really went down in the Crescent City has been renewed.
As a gulf coast native, New Orleans has always held a special place in my heart. Many long weekends of my youth were spent wandering the French Quarter, munching on beignets, and celebrating the music and debauchery of America's most culturally rich city. And don't even get me started on Mardi Gras. Meemmorriiiesss!
Anyhow, every time I think of Katrina I can't help but remember the conversation I had with a bartender in New Orleans two years before. In 2004 Hurricane Ivan struck the gulf coast and decimated Pensacola, my hometown. It was a crazy storm, but we survived unscathed for the most part. But after two weeks without power, my friends and I decided to drive over and spend some time in NOLA while they got everything back up and running at home.
Naturally, we spent most of our time there in bars. While much of the trip was a blur, a conversation we had with a bartender still sticks out. As we were explaining the reason for our trip, we got on the topic of how devastating a hurricane would be to New Orleans. We tried to imagine how the historic downtown areas we loved would avoid the swells of the mighty Mississippi, but she interrupted us with "Oh honey, we don't even worry about the Quarter. Everybody knows they'll blow the levees uptown to save the historic districts." Now, maybe she didn't know what the hell she was talkin about. But maybe she did. Somewhat, anyways.
Enter the NPR segment: Harry Shearer was promoting his new Katrina documentary, The Big Uneasy. In the film, Shearer explores the unreported (at best) reality of what caused our country's most expensive "natural disaster" and how our government has failed to correct the issues that brought about the floods in the first place. Complete with whistle-blowers! I haven't seen it yet, but as soon as I can get my hands on it…
So, although I'm deliriously happy and grateful to live another year… I'm still thinking about the thousands who weren't so lucky six years ago.

Cost: $30,000 purchase price
Timeline: 3 to 6 months
Use: Fire and EMS training facility
Funding: Capital Improvement, community donations
The City of Hesston recently invested in a new building located across the street from City Hall.
The building, formerly occupied by H&H Meats has sat vacant for nearly five years, according to City Administrator John Carder.
Emergency Services Director Russ Buller said the location was almost ideal for use by the department.
"Obviously, in a perfect world everything important to an operation would be under one roof. We have an excellent Emergency Services facility in the center of our community that has no room to expand. Our next best option in keeping our training and the equipment that we train with close together is to go next door," he said.
In addition to streamlining training, Buller said the formerly abandon building will be maintained.
Carder said the opportunity to improve the long-vacant building came at a much lower cost than the building was originally marketed. Carder said after nearly five years on the market, it was unlikely the property would once again have commercial uses.
"It had sat empty and the price had dropped by half. It was unlikely to reopened as a commercial business and the price drop made it more affordable. The city made a formal offer for a further 30 percent reduction," he said.
Buller said the building, which will be used as a training facility, will help Hesston emergency personnel respond to calls.
"As you may or may not know it takes a significant amount of training each year to maintain our Fire and EMS certifications for example, Firefighter one and two, EMT, Paramedic, Hazmat, etcetera.
"We also provide ongoing continuing education to maintain high standards in the services we provide. Last year departmentally we completed over 2,000 hours of continuing education with approximately another 3,000 hours in initial education for our staff. This facility will be utilized as the primary location for our Fire and EMS training. I should also note that our staffing has increased over the past year and we have outgrown our existing training room. This facility will allow for our current staffing and future growth as well," he said.
For Hesston EMS the building represents not only expansion, but better service and a recruiting tool for more volunteers as the demands of the department grow.
"Anytime we can enhance the training of our Emergency Services staff it will have a direct translation into the quality of services we provide. Having a professional training facility not only improves our recruitment of new staff it also provides an excellent environment for us to train the new personnel," said Buller.

25 years of giving
LAKE PLACID - "Changing the world begins with the heart," reads the sign outside of Trinity Lutheran Church in Lake Placid. And being a caring, positive influence on the lives of people in the community has always been important to the church's pastor, Richard Norris. This past Saturday, Norris was awarded a Proclamation of Recognition from the Highlands County Board of Commissioners for "his 25 years of service to the church and the community" during a dinner held in his honor. The tribute was requested by Chairman Jack L. Richie at the county commission's April 16 meeting. Approval of the resolution was unanimous."He is a great person. He has meant a lot to this community," said Richie, who has known Norris for almost 25 years and been a friend for over 15. "He helps a lot of folks…is a great Christian, and has done a tremendous amount for the sheriff's department (Chaplain Unit)." "I've been in ministry for 30 years," said Norris, a New Jersey native who holds degrees from Concordia College in New York and Concordia Seminar in Indiana. He served five years at All Saints Lutheran in Billings, N. Y. ,before accepting the position at Trinity Lutheran. "Lake Placid was a tremendous place for our children to grow up," said Norris, the proud father of Timothy, Debbie, Brian and Sarah. A man of large stature with a compassionate heart, Norris' dedication to the community is evident not only in his work as the shepherd of his congregation, but also in the time he volunteers. Several plaques are displayed on the shelves in his office, one from the Lake Placid Band Boosters in appreciation for his efforts in procuring new uniforms. Norris served on the Highlands County School Board from 2002 to 2010 and said he feels strongly about the value of education. "People should always keep learning," he said. On Nov. 10, 2011, he received his certification of completion for the Highlands County Sheriff's Citizens Academy. As head of the Highlands County Sheriff's Office Chaplain's Unit, Norris works with three other area pastors to minister to the needs of the law enforcement employees and help with death notifications. A volunteer with the Lake Placid Fire Department, Norris got his training working with a rescue squad and as a certified EMT instructor in upstate New York. "You have to lead by example and be involved in what's going on in the community," said the outgoing 56-year-old. Norris also serves as circuit counselor for the Heartland Circuit of the Florida-Georgia District of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. He describes himself as a "resource person" for the eight churches in the district. "Richard is a true leader and has given his heart and soul in service to the church and to the community," said his wife, Susan. "I am proud of what he has accomplished…I am truly blessed to have walked beside him in his ministry for the past 33 years that we have been married." "I paint with big brushes and my wife comes along and fills in the details," remarked Norris of Susan's organizational and administrative abilities. Twenty years ago, Susan started Trinity Tots Preschool for 3- and 4-year-old children as a mother's outreach mission. Now, 38 children attend classes in brightly decorated classrooms at the church complex. Trinity Lutheran's 8,000-square-foot building, located at 25 Lakeview St., includes a sanctuary that can seat up to 280 people and the daycare. Youth and Bible study groups meet in a separate building on the property, aptly named "Trinity Youth Haus." "I love these people. God has worked mightily in this congregation," said Norris, quick to praise members' efforts to support charities like Manna Ministry and Samaritan Touch. "I am who I am. I'm open, honest, and wear my heart on my sleeve," noted Norris of his commitment to present clearly articulated messages to his congregation. While he enjoys reading, cruising, and salt water fishing, Norris said with the countless hours he spends on ministry, hobbies aren't his current focus. "My life is this church," said Norris. "This is where I'm supposed to be."

Connect a switch to the Ethernet port of the router.
There are way too many manufacturers of routers to bother hunting around

"Get your favorite comics bound professionally" Update
A while ago I put up a post about getting your favorite runs of comics professionally bound into handy-dandy softcover (or hardcover) books. Long-time comic fan Jeff Bonham sent me some neat pictures which I posted HERE. Recently Jeff stopped by the store and showed me these:
Let me tell you, this is some cool stuff! The volumes are solidly and professionally bound and look great on the shelf beside your other Showcase or Essential volumes. The only way you can tell these didn't come from a publisher is that there is no price anywhere on the books! It's amazing seeing them in person and holding them in your hands... they are that well done. I'm thinking about getting some of my more obscure stuff bound into nice bookshelf-friendly volumes.

Compliance for the new RIA can be a daunting task. The guidelines regulating small independent advisors are similar to those regulating the largest mutual fund companies. Until the SEC recognizes that wealth advisors do not provide the same service (or product) as the large mutual fund companies the rules will be the same.
Advisors register by filing a form ADV through the SEC's Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) system. This system is administered by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).
The advisor with less than $25 million in assets under management can file with their state. However the filing requirements are almost the same for SEC filing. So, if you plan on reaching more than $25 million within the first year or two, it makes sense to file with the SEC from the start. The biggest difference is the filing fees.
For example, Massachusetts requires a $300 registration fee, and each registered representative must file a U-4, which is $50 each. If you file with the SEC then, in addition to the state fees, you must pay a registration fee of $150 to $1100 depending in your assets under management. The SEC has approved a waiver of the initial filing and the annual renewal fee until October 31, 2008. In Massachusetts, you still have to file as a "notice filer" even if you are an SEC registered advisor. The SEC provides more information on their filing fees.
Advisors are required to file an ADV Part I on the IARD website, and manually fill out ADV Part II, which is available on the website to download. Currently there is no way to submit Part II electronically. You are required to give Part II to all clients prior to signing an engagement letter. You can write your own disclosure brochure, but you must include all the information from the ADV Part II.
For a general overview and a summary of the requirements for registering with the SEC, click here. Each state has its own requirements. For Massachusetts, click here.
The requirements for the independent advisor have expanded greatly in the last three years. It is more difficult for the small office to manage the recordkeeping, the written policies and procedures, disclosure statement, code of ethics, best execution, and other requirements the SEC imposes. Attending the SEC's outreach seminars is a great way to stay up to date on what areas are priorities. It gives the advisor a chance to interact with the examiners outside of an audit environment and to openly discuss compliance issues. Both the SEC and the advisor benefit from the exchange of effective compliance practices. You can go to the SEC website for more information on their outreach efforts, and you can e-mail questions anonymously.
Your custodian can provide services and help with compliance requirements. Custodians typically publish their own newsletter with relevant compliance topics. You can speak to your Relationship Manager or log onto the Schwab and Fidelity web sites.
Many law firms and specialized consulting firms address compliance issues. Some are listed below, and your custodian is also a good source for recommendations:
Stark and Stark - This is a law firm that has a practice in Securities law and has earned a reputation for knowing the securities regulations for the investment advisor specifically.
ComplianceMax – A subsidiary of National Regulatory Services, they provide an on-line framework that gives the advisor the ability to create their own compliance program.
The firms below provide full service compliance consulting. Many of the consultants for these firms were examiners or auditors for the SEC or a state.
ACA Compliance Group
Regulatory Compliance
RIA Compliance Consultants
National Regulatory Services (NRS)
The SEC recognizes the need for outsourcing in the small advisory firm, but likes to see one person in-house who is responsible for making sure the policies and procedures are followed, and who is responsible for the relationship with the consultant. That person should also be familiar with the requirements and report any changes to the consultant. The SEC prefers that the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) is not the CEO. This way the CCO can monitor the CEO.
When it comes to compliance, the most important thing is to create a culture of compliance and disclose what you do, how you do it, and who does it. If you put in your policies and procedures that you do something, make sure it is done that way. Make sure everyone in the firm is familiar with the policies and procedures and everyone follows them, from the CEO to the newest staff person. If your procedures are not done as stated, suspicion is raised.
Disclose, disclose, disclose! You cannot disclose too much in your disclosure to clients. Whether you use the ADV Part II or create a brochure, disclose anything you think will be pertinent to the client. There are many areas that ADV Part I and II address. These should elaborated on in Schedule F, so there is no question on how you run your practice.
Currently, one of the hotspots is communicating the biggest risks to clients and the firm from an operational and compliance perspective, especially in the areas mentioned in Rule 206 (4)-7. These areas are expanded upon at this link and are listed below:
There are many areas the SEC expects the advisor to monitor. Utilizing some of the resources mentioned here will help get you going in the right direction. Two more areas to take into consideration are Errors and Omissions insurance and Investment Policy Statements. These are not required by the SEC but are a good idea for the protection of your firm and your clients.
If you are a new firm, use an outsourcing solution. The cost may seem high, but they have the experience to get you up and running efficiently. The cost of having someone in house will be even higher. There is no need to recreate the wheel, so use the expertise of someone who has experience and knows what areas to prioritize.
If you are an established firm, don't assume that once you have all the requirements in place you are done. Rules change, your practice changes, your clients change and your employees change. Your policies and procedures should be updated regularly so they do not become outdated. Make sure you change your ADV to reflect changes in staff and services. And remember the SEC is on the same side you are: to do what is best for the client!

INaCAGE was founded in 1999 by Stephanie Vargas in
San Jose California and has had copyrights since
2002. The same year long term boyfriend and bass
player Anthony Pereda joined the band. Originally
an all female funk rock band, it has transformed
into a much heavier sound and is now occupied
entirely by this dynamic couple. Now officially
entering the band's ten year run, these two
creative love birds are still as hungry as ever to
make beautiful dark music together.
Myriad of Screams
Lyrics: SDV
Music: AMP& SDV
My eyes dissect you in two
Translucent skin ripping at the seams
Reluctant Gemini breaking through
Jumping through a myriad of screams
Persistent noise bleached into silence
A pulse racing with a lack of sound
The sky magnifies those it shelters
Wind absorbed into the ground
Sleep is no longer a refuge
Dreams offer no distraction
The future always appears too near
One more breath loses all compassion
Wanting what cant be desired
Emptiness a constant companion
The heart both drops and swells
The mind kills whats come undone
My eyes dissect you in two
Translucent skin ripping at the seams
Reluctant Gemini breaking through
Jumping through a myriad of screams
A painless extraction calms the soul
A sweet taste of life stirs the fire
Blood rages through its captive walls
A brutal force refusing to expire
Woke up sitting on the sun
Flames cursed the frigid away
Breath become a solid state
Salt of my pores betray
Clocks converse out of key
Whispers sail without a care
The atmosphere laughs out of place
Layers are cut away by dispair
Path unwinds through hesitation
Beginning and end meld into one
Circular motion veers off course
An insincere reality has begun
Myopic Eye
Lyrics: SDV
Music: AMP&SDV
Lightning Strikes 800 times
Smoke chokes the valley below
Fires continue to burn
The sad moon struggles to glow
Water creates its own path
Drowning those who try to run
Lifting roots centuries old
Waiting for the drying sun
The wind dances onto the ground
A myopic eye glares hard
Some are chased some are found
A painted canvas left scarred
The fates string you along
Their blade shining brightly
A bony grasp holds you tight
Gasps kissing you lightly
The earth opens up to feed
Greedily lips hungrily taste
Weeds regrow hiding the the truth
A thriving wish gone to waste
Lyrics & Music: AMP
Watch me shatter your masquerade
And splinter your world in two
The seals have been broken
The seed I spit at you
The sand behind my eyes
The soul you could never own
Going for the jugular
To end your demise
Leave you still and cold as stone
Im the one who opened the gate
So dont fool yourself into thinking it was you
Said the ancient incantation aloud
And punched a hole right through
With my bloody hands I cast you out
The witching hour of three
You think you are the real deal
You foolish mortal
It is me
My relentless perpetual state
My inner scream sustained
Your soul embraced in fire
Leaving you ripped asunder
Im the one who opened the gate
So dont fool yourself into thinking it was you
Said the ancient incantation aloud
And punched a hole right through
The revenge I can taste
Loving you in pain
The nights silence a choir
Your helpless self is dragged under
Misery loves company
It is why you rot with the rest
An ailing groan of cacophony
As I watch it manifest

I also included a tweak to base stats on the mobs for those dungeons (and raid) and the restricted list for customs. Rebuilt the custom proc restriction system from the ground up to be easily updated/reloaded and shared between DA/KA.
These updates should be good to go on the next (un)planned restart. Unless it decides to restart before 11pm EST..which is about when the Linux server will finish building.

*Ascendant Council
-Arion: Finished all visual aspect and (de)buffs..fixed timers and cleaned up. Fixed all the spells and spell scripts.
-Terrastra: Gravity Well is now finished as are both the primary attacks and the secondary debuffs (arion and terr). Cleaned up and fixed all the spells and scripts.
-Elementium Monstrosity: Fully scripted including all four major abilities and all visual aspects. Cleaned up spawn timers and switching. Can't find the correct visual for the transformation unfortunately.
*Cho'gall - Mostly completed..having some issues with the vomit visuals and getting the debuffs to stick. Not sure if I'm going to be able to get conversion to work correctly..but I will figure something out.
Bastion of Twilight is taking a bit longer than I'd have preferred...but, it is coming together nicely so far.
[ view entry ] ( 20 views ) | permalink
*Ascendant Council - Almost completely done. Ran into a small issue with the Gravity portion on the other two and the switching to Monstrosity but think I figured it out.
-- Other: --
Added restriction to the Whammy (hex) portion of the Dominator in PvP BGs/Arenas/Guru
Note: Again..these changes will not be live until the raid is finished. Starting work on the last couple bosses now.
[ view entry ] ( 19 views ) | permalink
*Valiona - Fully scripted and added some speech text. Not quite sure if I got the flame casting down 100% visually.
*Theralion - Fabulous Flames is completely broken at a DBC level. I'm not quite sure how they even got this to work on Retail..wouldn't know where to begin...I swapped it out for the Twilight Realm 'Dazzling Destruction' but removed the Twilight Realm shift portion. The rest should be scripted to spec. Still need to add core support for Engulfing Magic but almost done with that part.
*The Council - Planning to design this to be the heroic version where all four of them fight at once then switch
-Feludius & Ignacious: Mostly done. Working some quirks out of the buffs for fire/ice.
-Arion & Terrastra: Mostly done. Almost finished with the script to swap to Monstrosity
-Elementium Monstrosity - Having trouble finding proper data on abilities and timers. Collecting information currently.
Note: These changes will not be in until the entire Raid is finished.
[ view entry ] ( 39 views ) | permalink
*Halfus - Mostly scripted..still missing a couple gossip updates for the friendlies
*Valiona & Theralion - Finished their phase switching and the visual aspect of flight/ground changing.
-- Grim Batol: --
*Erudax - Enabled script, cleaned up some spell problems, and removed pre-spawned adds. Script was not turned on at all due to a small bug..but fixed now. Should be working to spec now.
-- Other: --
Added fixes for various core components and spell scripts. Just everything I've had laying around since the move.
Continuing work on BoT the rest of the day. Might not post again until I finish the raid entirely.
[ view entry ] ( 35 views ) | permalink
Still need to get the room cleaned up the rest of the way so I can start working again.
[ view entry ] ( 45 views ) | permalink
*Fixed crash bug in his script that caused the most recent KA crash.
-- Combat Ratings: --
*Added hard caps to percentage-based combat ratings dealing with taking damage (Resilience, Dodge, Block, Parry). These hard caps are way above the mark for diminishing returns and will only affect lower levels with broken scaling. It's not generally possible to hit those caps without something being broken or incorrect due to diminishing returns and limited slots.
*Added fix for level 1 CR scaling..should improve the ridiculous numbers a bit when combined with the fix above.
-- Bug Tracker: --
*Added in-game spell tip text parser and linked to wowhead.
-- Armory: --
*Started work on the quest and item display sections. Linked the tooltips in the character section directly into the item view section and started work on layout. Fixed some bugs with displaying and a few minor tweaks to increase efficiency.
[ view entry ] ( 9 views ) | permalink
I also cleaned up the unstuck tools on the account page. Matched the layout of other char lists on the website and fixed the link-backs to send to the proper page. Added some tooltips to each of the functions with general descriptions.

Critics of loyalty cards have long complained that retailers don't make the most of their loyalty card programs and the data collected through them. They contend that stores use the cards just for electronic discounts. The cards, they say, don't deliver targeted messages and rewards to the best and most loyal customers, which was supposed to be the main point of the programs. That may be starting to change, however, as the technology behind the programs matures and retailers gain more ...

WALNUT CREEK -- If you live in central Contra Costa County and a shaker rolls down a nearby fault line, or a local wildfire exceeds the power of human resistance, you'll be thanking Dick DuBey and those who he has trained and directed as part of Walnut Creek's Community Emergency Response Team.
Walnut Creek boasts central Contra County's first CERT team, established by a Citizen Corps Council in 2003. Since 2004, more than 1,400 citizens have received training to be volunteer partners in the event of a disaster.
From the beginning, CERT was a joint program of the City of Walnut Creek and the Contra Costa Fire Protection District; the fire district provided the training and the city recruited the students and managed the program. However, due to budget issues, the fire district discontinued providing the trainers. That is when DuBey stepped up and offered to be the volunteer training coordinator for the City of Walnut Creek.
Years earlier, DuBey and Gayle Vassar -- Walnut Creek's communications and outreach manager -- worked hard to recruit and train a dedicated and supportive battalion of volunteer citizens. DuBey said Vassar's charisma and knowledgeable command of emergency operations attracts volunteers.
Although his day job took up most of his time before he retired, CERT appealed to his military instincts, and to his inner rebel.
"I had few hobbies until I got into CERT," he said, "but it became like a part-time job before long."
Located in local parks, seven of eight CERT staging areas (a Rossmoor site is close to completion) now have dedicated storage facilities equipped with "Quick Start" boxes, in which tools and a list of protocols are cached. These enable each volunteer unit to establish a command post outside of the 10-by-20-foot steel shipping containers that hold canopies, cots, first aid supplies, sanitation disposal receptacles, lighting equipment, generators and basic food supplies for the volunteers.
Most importantly, a $12,500 AT&T Foundation grant and $1,000 from Walnut Creek Rotary Club means every command post has a standardized HAM communications system.
"Early on, it became clear we needed our own communications ability," DuBey said. "Cell phones are the first victims of a disaster."
DuBey, 75, a Walnut Creek resident since 1981, remembers practicing for air
raids during World War II. "I remember the jubilation of the war finally being over, even though my parents never described the horrors, for fear of frightening me," he said.
Living through the assassination of John F. Kennedy and watching the country become embroiled in Vietnam and "come unraveled and lose our way," he says, was tragic. More recent traumas, like 1989's Loma Prieta earthquake, are less the reason he became involved in CERT than is the 27-year commitment he made to the Army Reserve while working as director of marketing for NSTC/Farmtec, a spraying equipment company he co-owned. DuBey's stint in the United States Army left him thinking they could do better if they were more progressive, but the volunteer reserve -- where authority couldn't be used as persuasion -- was more to his liking.
"CERT is like the Army Reserve system, where no one person is greater than the whole," he says. "But when I came on, I was turned off by the training. They were just delivering lectures, then turning people out."
Vassar invited DuBey to transform the curriculum. Today, the 20-hour, six-week biannual basic training course includes not only PowerPoint presentations on disaster preparedness, fire safety, terrorism, search and rescue, medical operations and team organization, but hands-on drills as well.
"We activate them. We run search and rescues, have them operate a fire extinguisher, clear debris," DuBey says.
"You can read a book, but if you have to deal with someone who's been moulaged (theatrical makeup applied) so they have blood spurting out of a compound fracture and they're screaming ... well, that's a lot better."
And then there are the eight-hour "HAM Crams." DuBey and his fellow Saturday Ham Radio Group operators have trained and licensed more than 50 ham operators.
"People are of the opinion that in a disaster, someone else will take care of them. I was raised to think, 'If it is to be, it must be me,' " he said. "Waiting for someone else to do it is setting yourself up for failure."
Vassar credits DuBey with building a sense of community and a training structure that insures high retention rates. DuBey deflects the compliments, saying, "It's not about me" and expressing gratitude that he and Vassar are "a good mix," without political ambition.
Both offer high praise for CERT graduates: DuBey says they are "patriots who love this country, offer to aid others and rise like the cream in milk."
After several years coordinating CERT training and with a five-year strategic plan through 2018 in place, DuBey will pass his mantle to Michele Richards, the city's part-time Emergency Preparedness Coordinator.
He's putting his home up for sale and moving to Rossmoor with Carol, his wife of 38 years. With 10 grandchildren and a yen for travel, he'll still be a Saturday Ham Radio Group operator, but will leave CERT training to the next generation of disaster preparedness heroes.

Supremacy MMA
The latest trailer for
Supremacy MMA
focuses once again on one of the female combatants present in the game. In the video shown below, Felice "Lil Bulldog" Herrig shows that she is as deadly as she is beautiful.
505 Games new title looks to solidify itself as a major contender in the MMA-game genre, which is just starting to hit its stride. While the game may lack the licensing that EA and THQ's offerings have, it looks to make up for it with bone-crushing finishing moves, a line up of legendary fighters, and the inclusion of female fighters, which in particular is something that the competition lacks. Supremacy MMA will be available for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 7, 2011.
