New York death metal veterans SKINLESS have reformed after a two-year hiatus to headline the third day of Delaware Deathfest this October alongside DEICIDE, SUFFOCATION, BROKEN HOPE, BRUTALITY, DYING FETUS, EXHUMED and many more. The second annual Delaware Deathfest takes place October 4-6 in Wilmington at Mojo 13.Commented vocalist Sherwood Webber: "We're back. The classic SKINLESS lineup has always had an undeniable live chemistry and it's time to unleash the beast again. We're all old buddies and if we have the opportunity to destroy some stages around the world again, it feels right…. who knows what's next?!? In keeping with the old SKINLESS credo of not giving a fuck… we're back to destroy…. we can't let EXHUMED have ALL the fun! "Also… if you ever told me that we'd be playing with BRUTALITY when I was 15 years old listening to the 'Screams Of Anguish' tape in Noah's Camaro, I would never have believed it. This is awesome!!!!" Added guitarist Noah Carpenter: "This is the lineup that put SKINLESS on the metal map, so it's great to be back. We won't be the road dogs of the past, but we'll be playing some select festivals and drinking all their beer. So sit back, slip on your absorbent undergarments, and let the mayhem begin… again!!!"

However, the thing is with that, my bandwidth has soared considerably. Is there anyway to turn this preview option off or revert back to the way it was in 1.5(Just a plain preview of the words and their formating)?
Thank you so much in advance!

beautiful and usable available. Theyll be available in a variety of formats,
configured to print out at battle map scale, so each and every encounter
can be played against a full color backdrop. The first adventure, Mission:
Sea Crypt sees new guild members race against time to retrieve an artifact
from a coral grave that rises from the deeps once every fifty years and
features a new race of foes, the writhing certhoa.

MacArthur Enjoying Breakthrough Season
Tuesday, 01.18.2011 / 4:43 PM ET / Mike Ulmer's Blog
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
|RELATED: Second Line Has Been Dynamite | Mapleleafs.com Blog
|VIDEO: MacArthur Highlights | 1st Goal Of 2011 |
|DISCUSS IT ON: Leafspace | Twitter | Facebook
It's the Scottish thing.
"He's that crazy Scottish guy," said Mikhail Grabovski. "All my friends talk about that."
The crazy Scottish guy is Clarke MacArthur, picked up by the Leafs in the pre-season for the price of a stamp less 57 cents. Ok, that's not entirely true. Sixty cents with tax.
MacArthur is about as Scottish as a tin of maple syrup but he is the canny presence on a Leafs line that has roared past expectations and he is having himself a year.
MacArthur leads the Leafs in scoring and while 40th in the league is a way down it's still better than Bobby Ryan, Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Semin and Patrick Kane.
He's had help, of course. If you throw out power play points, the unit of MacArthur, Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin has struck for 69 points. That's a dozen more even strength points than Alexander Ovechkin's unit and 20 more than the San Jose trio of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dany Heatley.
There is alchemy in an effective line. Three players with radically different backgrounds (a Russian, a Belarusarian and a Canadian) and talents must find common ground within a couple of days or risk being pulled apart and pieced together with someone else.
The Leafs line is a fine example of individual talents producing an unexpected harmony.
"Grabo is the glue in the middle," said MacArthur who seeds a player with scoring touch and the ability to make plays.
Even though MacArthur's forte is subtle little plays, it makes more sense, he said, to put Grabovski in the middle of the ice.
"He's a better skater than I am and he's stronger down low. He's always jugging around."
That leaves Kulemin, a superb skater who is no harder to move than a refrigerator and who will chase the puck relentlessly.
MacArthur says his forte is the little pass, the five to 10 foot jobs. "They can open up a lot of space for a guy," he said. "What you want to create is little two on ones."
That type of subtle play is what Grabovski has come to look for.
"He's a smart player, he has great vision," Grabovski said. "If I'm in alone, he always finds me with the puck."
This is by far the best MacArthur has played in stints with the Buffalo Sabers and Atlanta Thrashers. The Thrashers walked away from an arbitration win last summer and set MacArthur free. His strong play has been critical for the improvement of Kulemin and Grabovski.
MacArthur is the leader of the troika. You can see it in television timeouts where MacArthur can be seen exhorting his linemates. It is MacArthur who organizes the video sessions with his linemates. He is considered one of the hardest working Leafs, on the ice and off.
MacArthur has played on the same unit since the earliest days of the season. Still, he has seen many lines flounder because of a toxic chemistry.
"This happened to me in Buffalo," he said. "Sometimes you would play with guys whose game was to chip the puck in. There's nothing wrong with that but it's not the way I play."
A few months after being cut loose, MacArthur, a restricted free agent, finds himself a widely appreciated player. Teams are often that way with their leading scorers.
His linemates, enjoying their best ever seasons, endorse his return.
"I would love to play with these guys for five more years," MacArthur said.

Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802
by William Wordsworth
Things as People
Symbol Analysis
Wordsworth uses personification in several places in the poem, in reference to the city, sun, river, and houses. He creates the impression that nature is a living being with a soul. It's as if all these forces have decided to come together to treat the speaker to a "One Morning Only!" show of Nature's Greatest Marvels.
- Line 4: The morning beauty is compared to clothing, a "garment," in a simile. Only people can wear clothing (OK, dogs can wear sweaters, too, but those are strangely disconcerting), so London must be personified.
- Line 10: "His first splendour" is a roundabout way of talking about the sunrise. The sun is personified as a male.
- Line 12: The river is personified as a person who likes to take things at his own pace. He's like the person in front of you at the supermarket who's going to spend 10 minutes at the cash register and there's nothing you can do about it.
- Line 13: The houses are personified as sleeping people because the city is quiet and still. In reality, the people inside the houses are the ones who are asleep.
- Line 14: The city is personified as a person with a heart. The heart is "lying still," perhaps because the city, like its houses, is asleep.

BENTON -- A New Madrid County teenager was killed in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday in Scott County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, around 8 a.m. northbound motorist Kasi R. Clark, 17, of New Madrid was traveling on Interstate 55 and Highway 80, two miles south of Benton, when she lost control of her vehicle and ran off the left side of the roadway. Her vehicle overturned in the median and vaulted into the air and into the path of the southbound tractor-trailer driven by Cory L. Bufford of Enville, Tenn.
Clark's passenger, 16-year-old Melissa C. "Missy" Robinson of Lilbourn was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:12 a.m. by Scott County Coroner Scott Amick.
Clark was seriously injured and air evacuated to St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau. Bufford's passenger, Katherine J. Bufford, 26, of Enville received moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to St. Francis Medical Center.
Robinson was taken to Ponder Funeral Home in Sikeston, where visitation will begin after 5 p.m. Friday. A funeral service is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in New Madrid.

You guys seem to really like the posts about My Favorite Junk Shop and the Nashville Flea Market. I know I get lots of email wanting to know the location of "that cool junk shop".
Here's a nice big picture with the name of the shop and the phone no. What more could you ask for.
I don't remember how I stumbled upon Butler's Antiques and I don't really know how long I've been making the trip to Hopkinsville just to look at junk. That's where the shop is…… Hopkinsville, Kentucky…. a 45-50 minute drive from my home.
Mr. Raymond Butler is the shop owner and he gets help from his sisters running the shop on different days. The shop is open Monday-Saturday 9-5, flexible closing hours depending on the season. He's not open on the fourth weekend of the month from Thursday- Saturday because he loads up and sets up shop at the Nashville Flea Market. His booth is my first stop at the flea market.
This is not a paid advertisement!!! You guys are interested and I thought it was time to share. And now…as I do after every trip…..here's the pics….
I came home with this beauty. Her legs are in really bad shape and she's very rickety but for the price I couldn't leave her there. No, I'm not telling you the price. I can't divulge (big word for me, thank God for spell check) everything.
I meant to get the yardsticks and forgot about them. I've seen a lot of cool projects lately using these.
Poor little girl, her flower pot is broken. She's still a beauty and somehow I left without her too. I meant to bring her home and got sidetracked. That happens a lot! Well, that's the info on My Favorite Junk Shop. Thanks for stopping by,

Yellowstone National Park forms the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) one of the largest intact temperate zone ecosystems on the earth today. This 28,000-square-mile region of mainly federal lands preserves and nurtures a variety of wildlife species and the natural processes that sustain them.
Each of Yellowstone National Park's separate parts the hydrothermal features, the wildlife, the lakes, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, and the petrified trees could easily stand alone as a principle element of a national park. That they are all at one place is testimony to Greater Yellowstone's diversity and natural wealth.

Philosophy, Application and Jurisdiction
The university's approach to student discipline is an educative and preventative one. Discipline is properly the concern of the entire university community, the student body, faculty, administration, and staff. Acting in the belief that representative student groups should share responsibility with other university personnel for enforcing campus policies and rules, the university makes provisions in its process for students to adjudicate most cases of student conduct.
Participation on a student conduct and mediation board represents one of the clearest examples of meaningful student involvement in institutional self-governance at Salem State University. Board members are dedicated to the maintenance of a system which keeps in mind the needs of the university in preserving an atmosphere of order conducive to the pursuit of educational goals and, at the same time, one which fully protects the rights of all members of the community.
The overall administration of discipline at the university is the responsibility of Dean of Students office in cooperation with the Student Government Association.
The regulations and any amendments shall apply to all part-time and full-time undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students at Salem State University, and shall be considered part of the conditions of admission and enrollment of such students. Unless students have officially withdrawn from the university, they are assumed to be in continuous enrollment, including students on a leave of absence. As such, they are subject to the disciplinary regulations and procedures which follow.
In case of any conflicts or inconsistencies with any other rules, regulations, policies, and directives now existing, these regulations shall govern and shall be enforced by the president of Salem State University.
The university, upon recommendation from the appropriate governance committees, reserves the right to alter any or all of the student conduct and mediation system. Reasonable notice shall be furnished to the university community of any substantial change.
Salem State University is dedicated to the maintenance of a student conduct and mediation system which reasonably represents and is responsive to all members of the university community. It is the policy of Salem State to offer opportunities for student conduct and mediation board participation and to insure equality of treatment of students charged with university violations without regard to race, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or national origin. In implementing this policy, the university follows the guidelines and requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 as well as state and federal regulations regarding equal employment and affirmative action. To request accommodations, please contact disability services at 978.542.6217 or email@example.com.
The rules of conduct that are outlined in these regulations are designed to promote the welfare of the academic community by preserving an environment in which reasoned debate and the pursuit of learning can flourish. These rules will therefore govern the following:
1. Conduct that occurs within the physical bounds of North, Central, and South Campuses, the O'Keefe Complex, and Cat Cove Marine Laboratory or in any university facility;
2. Conduct, wherever it occurs, that occurs while a student is attending or participating in any university related activity, including a sporting event, a field trip, or the like;
3. Conduct, wherever it occurs, that calls in question a student's suitability as a member of the academic community, including acts of violence, the sale or possession of drugs, violations of another's civil rights, and acts against persons and property.

If you work in higher ed, you fall asleep every night asking yourself the following questions:
- Will we suffer the same fate as the record industry, the bookstores and the newspaper business?
- Is higher ed another example of a physical, as opposed to a digital, information industry - and therefore ripe for disruption?
- If the core business model of education is built on scarcity, will we survive this transition to information abundance?
I imagine that these questions also haunt the dreams of people who work in publishing?
All these questions, and more, make reading How a Book is Born: The Making of The Art of Fielding a worthwhile investment of our time.
The barriers to reading this book are actually amazingly low. This Kindle Single is only $1.99. At 62 pages, it will not take much time. And if you have read Harbach's The Art of Fielding (a terrific campus novel), then description this backstory is probably irresistible.
One thing we learn from How A Book Is Born is that publishing is very big business:
"……total book sales in the United States last year were $13.9 billion — and twice that if you include textbooks and other educational materials. Random House, the biggest of the so-called Big Six publishers, brings in about $2.5 billion a year in revenue; Hachette Book Group, at the smaller end of the Big Six, brings in about $700 million. Michael Pietsch's Little, Brown, which sold 21 million books in 2010, accounted for more than a quarter of that. The vast majority of publishers' revenue (100 percent, in the case of Little, Brown) is from the sale of books and subsidiary rights to books; for the moment, publishers really have no other way to make money."
The question is, will e-books change not only how books are read, but how they are published? Traditionally, one of the major roles of the publisher has been to place books in bookstores. Will the place of publishers in the reading ecosystem be threatened if (when?) most books are sold as digital files on the web, and consumed on e-reader platforms?
Ask this question another way: Would a book as wonderful as The Art of Fielding have made it to readers without the publishing industry? Reading How A Book Is Born provides a glimpse about the key role of the agents who champion books, the editors that shape the book, the cover designers who make the book appealing, and the publicists that get the word out. Every book, at least in the traditional publishing model, has many parents.
What happens if Amazon becomes the publisher of choice? We may see many many more books get published, with little input from editors, aimed at a narrower slice of readers. Less quality but more choice. Lower book costs at the price of few great books.
Are there any lessons in publishing for higher ed?

It is lamentable to reflect that in the primitive dealings between the venturous Europeans and aborigines of America, the kindly welcome and the hospitable reception were the part of the savage, and treachery, kidnapping, and murder too frequently that of the civilized and nominally Christian visitor.
It appears to have been matter of common custom among these unscrupulous adventurers to seize by force or fraud on the persons of their simple entertainers, and to carry them off as curiosities to the distant shores of Europe. Columbus, with kindly motives, brought several of the West Indian natives to the Spanish court; others, whom his follower Pinzon had kidnapped, he restored to their friends. Cabot, in his memorable expedition, followed the same example, and the early French discoverers were peculiarly culpable in this respect. Most atrocious of all was the conduct of Thomas Hunt, who, in 1614, at Monhigon, enticed twenty-four of these unfortunate people on board his vessel, and carried them to Malaga, as slaves an inhuman piece of treachery, to which the English were probably indebted for much of the subsequent hostilities evinced by the Indians of New England.
Arrival Of The Mayflower
On the 6th of September, 1620, the Mayflower, freighted with forty-one adventurous enthusiasts, the germ of a western empire, sailed from Plymouth, in England; and on the 9th of the following November arrived on the barren and inclement shores of Cape Cod. A few days afterwards a reconnoitering party caught sight of a small number of the natives, who, however, fled at their approach. On the 8th of December a slight and desultory action occurred, the Indians attempting to surprise the Pilgrims by night. They were, however, discomfited, and compelled to retreat, leaving, among other trophies, eighteen arrows, "headed with brass, some with harts horns, and others with eagles claws."
On the 11th of December (O. S.), memorable in the annals of America, the little band of Pilgrims landed, and fixed their first settlement at Plymouth. The Indians, it would appear, looked with evil eyes upon the pious colonists; for, says an old narrator, "they got all the powwows in the country, who, for three days together, in a horrid and devilish manner, did curse and execrate them with their conjurations, which assembly and service they held in a dark and dismal swamp. Behold how Satan labored to hinder the gospel from coming into New England."

family's story.
Enter a grandparent's name to get started.
The appearance of the friendly chief Samoset, at the settlement; his welcome in broken English; his manners and discourse, are quaintly detailed by the historians of the colony. He had acquired some knowledge of the English language by intercourse with the crews and masters of vessels employed in fishing upon the coast, and readily communicated such information as the settlers required concerning the nature of the country and its inhabitants. He informed them of the manner in which the district where they were located had been depopulated only four years previous, by some incurable disease; a circumstance to which the feeble colony not improbably owed its preservation.
Before the bold and friendly advances made by Samoset, the only communication between the colonists and the original inhabitants had been of a hostile character. The natural fears and jealousy of the savages, and the superstitious horror of the English at the heathenish pow wows and incantations which they witnessed, together with the want of a common language, had kept the little company of adventurers in a state of complete isolation during the whole of the cold and dreary winter that succeeded their arrival.
It was in the month of March that a peaceful communication was established with the natives, through the intervention of Samoset. He introduced, among other of his companions, the noted Tisquantum, or Squanto, who was one of the twenty-four kidnapped by Hunt, at a former period. By his knowledge of the country and coast, and his acquaintance with their language, Squanto became of great service to the colonists, and continued their friend until his death, which took place in 1622, while he was on his passage down the coast, in the capacity of pilot to an expedition fitted out for the purpose of purchasing supplies of corn and other necessaries. Much of romantic interest attaches to the history and adventures of this serviceable Indian, both during his captivity and after his restoration to his own country. Escaping by the assistance of certain kindly-disposed monks, from Spain, where he, with his companions, had been sold in slavery, he reached England, and was taken into the employment of a London merchant, named Slaney, by whom he was sent as pilot, or in some other capacity, to various places on the eastern coast.
He was brought back to Patuxet, the Indian name of the country in which the pilgrims first landed, by Captain Thomas Dermer, who sailed in the employ of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, during the summer preceding the arrival of the Mayflower. After his introduction by Samoset, he remained with his new allies, instructing them in the mode of raising corn, to which they were strangers; in the best methods of fishing; and making himself of inestimable service.
By the friendly influence of Squanto and Samoset, who acted as interpreters, a league of amity and mutual protection was effected between the colony and the powerful sachem Massasoit, father of the still more celebrated Philip. Massasoit's head-quarters were at Mount Hope, on Narragansett bay, overlooking the present town of Bristol; a striking feature in a landscape of remarkable beauty, and commanding from its summit a magnificent prospect of island, bay and ocean. His authority extended over all the Indian tribes living in the vicinity of the Plymouth colony, and he held an uncertain but influential sway over portions of other nations far into the interior.
In the month of July, 1621, some of the principal inhabitants of the settlement, among others, Edward Winslow and Stephen Hopkins, went on an embassy to the court of this chief, as well to observe his power and resources as to renew the amicable treaties before entered into. They carried such attractive ornaments and apparel as would please the eye of a savage.
They were accompanied by Squanto; and although their entertainment, both as respects food and lodgings, was but sorry, yet they were received in a spirit of friendliness.
They obtained much useful information concerning the surrounding tribes, and also learned the power and numbers of the Narragansetts.
The ship Fortune arrived at Plymouth, in the month of November, bringing out thirty -five emigrants; but no provisions for their support; in consequence of which, the colony was not long after greatly distressed by want. To add to their troubles and fears, the Narragansetts sent them a hostile message, expressed by a bundle of arrows tied with a snakeskin. The skin was returned filled with bullets, and the governor made the spirited reply, "that, if they loved war rather than peace, they might begin when they would."
The houses were thenceforth enclosed in palings, and every precaution was taken, by watch and ward, to guard against a sudden attack.
Weston's Colony
During the ensuing year, 1622, two ships were sent over from England by a Mr. Thomas Weston, with a considerable number of colonists; in one of them came "sixty lusty men." A new settlement was formed by them at Wesagusquaset, on Massachusetts Bay, known as Weston's colony.
The dishonesty and wastefulness of these new comers produced very injurious effects upon the welfare of the colony at large. The hostility of the Indians was excited by their depredations, and, if we may believe the old narrations, they were even base enough to circulate among the natives false reports of an intention on the part of the Plymouth authorities to attack them, and forcibly seize their corn and provisions, the time being one of great scarcity.
"Weston's men were in possession of a small vessel, in which they proposed to their Plymouth neighbors to undertake an expedition round Cape Cod, for the purpose of trading for supplies from the natives. After two unsuccessful attempts, having been delayed by rough weather, they succeeded in reaching Nauset and Mattachiest, where they obtained a quantity of corn and beans. It was on this voyage that they lost their guide and interpreter Squanto. He had been a highly useful and faithful coadjutor to the colonists; his only faults being a natural inclination to presume upon his importance in his intercourse with his countrymen. This led him to exalt himself in their eyes by tales of his great influence over the English, and exaggerated reports of their powers and skill. He affirmed that they had the plague buried in the ground, which they could, at pleasure, let loose for the destruction of the Indians. On one occasion he was believed, for some purpose of his own, to have raised a false alarm of an attack by the Narragansetts, accompanied by Massasoit. This sachem became at last so exasperated against Squanto, that, on divers occasions, he sought to put him to death, and the colonists had no small difficulty in preserving their interpreter.
Great rivalry and jealousy existed between Squanto and Hobamak, another friendly Indian, who served the settlers in a similar capacity.
In the year 1623, the people at Weston's plantation, principally, as appears, from their own folly and improvidence, were reduced to a state of extreme misery and destitution. They became scattered in small parties, obtaining a precarious subsistence by gathering shellfish, and by working for or pilfering from the natives. On one occasion they actually hanged a man for stealing, in order to pacify the Indians; and although it appears probable that he whom they executed was, in reality, guilty, yet they have been accused of sparing the principal offender, as an able-bodied and serviceable member of the community, and hanging, in his stead, an old and decrepit weaver. See "Hudibras" upon this point.
Caunbitant's Conspiracy
An extensive conspiracy was formed among various tribes of the Massachusetts Indians, and others, extending, as some supposed, even to the inhabitants of the of Capewack, or Martha's Vineyard, for the purpose of destroying Weston's colony, and perhaps that at Plymouth also. Caunbitant, or Corbitant, one of Massasoit's most distinguished subordinate chiefs, was a prime mover in this plot. He had always entertained hostile feelings towards the English, and regarded their increase and prosperity as of fatal tendency to the welfare of his own people. The design was made known to some of the chief men of Plymouth, by Massasoit, (whom the leaders of the conspiracy had endeavored to draw into their plans,) in gratitude for their having restored him from a dangerous fit of sickness. Having been, as he supposed, at the point of death, he sent for assistance to the colony, and Mr. Edward Winslow and John Hamden, (supposed by some writers to have been the same afterwards so celebrated in English history for his resistance to royal encroachments) with Hobamak as interpreter, were dispatched to his assistance.
In order to check the purposed uprising, Captain Miles Standish, with only eight men, proceeded to Wesagusquaset, and attacking the Indians, in conjunction with Weston's men, overpowered them, killing six of their number; among the rest, the noted and dangerous "Wittuwamat". This chief had displayed great boldness and spirit. On the arrival of Standish, he, with others of his company, declared that he was in no wise ignorant of the English man's intentions. "Tell Standish," said he, "we know he is come to kill us, but let him begin when he dare." Not long after, many would come to the fort, and whet their knives before him, with many braving speeches. One amongst the rest was by Wittuwamat's bragging he had a knife that on the handle had a woman's face, but at home I have one that hath killed both French and English, and that hath a man's face upon it, and by and by these two must marry; but this here by and by shall see, and by and by eat but not speak." Of the manner of this Indian's death, and that of Peksuot, one of his principal companions, killed by Standish himself in a desperate hand to hand struggle, Winslow says: "But it is incredible how many wounds these two panieses received before they died, not making any fearful noise, but catching at their weapons and striving to the last." Wittuwamat had often expressed great contempt of the English for their want of fortitude, declaring that "they died crying, making sour faces, more like children than men." A brother of this chief, only eighteen years of age, they hanged.
The Weston plantation was, however, broken up, the survivors, much reduced in numbers by sickness and want, setting sail in their vessel for the eastward, to join the fishing squadron on the coast: as the old historian has it, "here see the effects of pride and vain-glory." Thomas Weston himself, after a singular series of misfortunes, only arrived at Plymouth to learn the disastrous fate of his colony.
The system of working the land in common was this year abandoned by the Plymouth colonists, and a portion of land set apart to each man; a change which produced the most favorable results.
In the course of a few years from the formation of the Plymouth colony, the Indians, in spite of a royal proclamation forbidding the traffic, began to supply themselves with firearms and ammunition, the use of which they acquired with singular facility. The trade for these dangerous articles first commenced upon the eastern coast, where they were brought by English, French and Dutch fishing vessels, and was further extended into the interior in 1628, by one Thomas Morton, a notable contender of godliness, and long a thorn in the side of the sober colonists. Besides his capital offense of teaching the Indians the use of firearms, and driving a profitable trade with them in these deadly weapons, he became, as Morton has it, "a lord of misrule," with a set of disorderly companions who had been brought out in the same ship with him. They spent what they gained by unlawful trade in "vainly quaffing and drinking both wine and strong liquors to great excess setting up a Maypole, drinking and dancing about it, and frisking about it like so many fairies, or furies rather." This Maypole was cut down by Endicott, and Morton was seized and sent to England, where he wrote an "infamous and scurrilous book (The New Canaan), against many godly and chief men of the country." In 1633, a year memorable for the first English settlement on the Connecticut, by William Holmes, in spite of the opposition of the Dutch, a "pestilent fever" carried off many, both of the colonists and Indians thereaout.
Morton, in his "New England's Memorial," says that "It is to be observed that, the spring before this sickness, there was a numerous company of flies, which were like, for bigness, unto wasps or bumble-bees; they came out of little holes in the ground, and did eat up the green things, and made such a constant yelling noise as made the woods ring of them, and ready to deafen the hearers." The Indians prophesied sickness from this sign.
No very serious hostilities occurred between the Plymouth colonists and the natives, from the period of which we have been speaking, until the year 1637, memorable for the extirpation of the Pequots. The causes and conduct of this campaign, marked as it was by the most savage ferocity on the part of both Indians and English, will be detailed in a succeeding chapter.
Death Of Massasoit and Alexander
In the year 1639, Massasoit, or, as he is generally styled at this period, Woosamequen, brought his eldest son Mooanam, otherwise called Wamsutta, to the court at Plymouth, and solemnly renewed the former league of peace and amity with the colony.
After the death, of the friendly and powerful sachem, his sons Wamsutta and Metacomet continued their profession of good-will towards the English. About 1656, they presented themselves to the court at Plymouth, and, by their own request, received English names. Wamsutta was denominated Alexander, and Metacomet, Philip, long after a name of terror to the colonies.
In 1662, Alexander, having been suspected of being engaged with the Narragansetts in plans hostile to the English settlers, was taken by surprise, and forcibly carried to Plymouth. This indignity is said so to have chafed his proud spirit that it threw him into a fever, of which he died shortly after. Contradictory reports have been handed down to us concerning the manner of his treatment during this brief captivity, and the circumstances attending his death.

Accession Of Philip
Shortly after this event, Philip, now sachem of Pocanoket, came to the court at Plymouth, with renewed acknowledgments of subjection to the king of England, and promises to fulfill all engagements theretofore entered into by himself, his father, and brother. He covenanted, more over, not to sell any of his lands to strangers without the knowledge and consent of the authorities at Plymouth.
- See Further: King Philip's War
The Eastern Indians
The services of Captain Benjamin Church, in the early Indian campaigns, did not end with the death of Philip and the reduction of the hostile tribes united by that chief in enmity against the colonists. In the war, which after wards broke out with the Indians of New Hampshire and Maine, the old soldier was again called upon to take the field.
Our accounts of the early history of these Eastern tribes are not very voluminous or connected. Some description is given, in Captain John Smith s narrative, of the government and division of the nations and tribes on the coast; and, in subsequent times, tales of noted sagamores and warriors, with detached incidents of adventure, are not wanting in interest.
Their Friendly Disposition
The first English settlers in Maine and New Hampshire had little to complain of in the treatment they received from the aboriginal inhabitants: according to Hubbard, "Ever since the first settling of any English plantation in those parts about Kennebeck, for the space of about fifty years, the Indians always carried it fair, and held good correspondence with the English, until the news came of Philip's rebellion and rising against the inhabitants of Plymouth colony in the end of June, 1675; after which time it was apprehended by such as had the examination of the Indians about Kennebeck, that there was a general surmise amongst them that they should be required to assist the said Philip, although they would not own that they were at all engaged in the quarrel."
When Philip's forces were destroyed or dispersed, many of them took refuge at the East, and the search for and seizure of these served to arouse and keep alive hostile feelings, which might otherwise have slumbered. By the contrivance of Major Waldron, a noted character among the first settlers at Cocheco (afterwards Dover) in New Hampshire, some four hundred Indians, of various tribes, were decoyed into the power of the colonial troops by the pretense of a sham-fight exhibition. They were then examined, and all who were adjudged to have been connected with the war, to the number of over two hundred, were sent to Boston, where eight or ten of them were hanged, and the rest were sold as slaves.
French And Indian War Of 1689
Many scenes of depredation and bloodshed are described by historians of those early times previous to the regular campaigns of 1689 and the years ensuing, against the French and Indians. During the war of 1675-6, connected with Philip s conspiracy, the most important affairs were the burning, by the Indians, of the towns of Casco and Saco. Under the administration of Sir Edmund Andross, the conflicting claims to territory in Maine, between the Baron of St. Castine and English proprietors, brought about a war in which the neighboring Indian tribes were involved. With their usual success, the French excited the eastern Indians to espouse their cause, and a series of depredations upon the English colonists ensued.
At Cocheco (Dover), Major Waldron was still in authority, with a considerable force under his command, occupying five fortified buildings. In the summer of 1689, a party of Indians planned an attack upon this post, as well to strike a signal blow in behalf of their white allies, as to revenge the former wrong done to their friends by Waldron. The English considered themselves perfectly secure, and kept no watch a circumstance which had been observed by the enemy. On the 27th of June, two squaws obtained leave to sleep in each of the garrisoned houses. During the night they rose quietly, unbarred the doors, and, by appointed signals, announced to the warriors lurking without that the time was propitious for an attack.
The English were completely overpowered, fifty-two were killed or carried away captive; among the former was Major Waldron. The old warrior (he was eighty years of age) defended himself with astonishing strength and courage, but was finally struck down from behind. Bruised and mangled, he was placed in a chair upon a table, and the savages, gathering round, glutted their long-cherished vengeance by cutting and torturing the helpless captive. He was in bad odor with the Indians for having, as they alleged, defrauded them in former trading trans actions. It was reported among them that he used to " count his fist as weighing a pound, also that his accounts were not crossed out according to agreement." Placed as above mentioned, upon a table, some of them " in turns gashed his naked breast, saying, "I cross out my account." Then cutting a joint from his finger, would say, "Will your fist weigh a pound now?" (Drake's edition of Church's Indian Wars.) They continued these cruelties until he fainted from loss of blood, when they dispatched him. It is said, by the above author, that one of the squaws, to whom was assigned the duty of betraying Waldron's garrison, felt some compunction at the act of treachery, and endeavored, ineffectually, to warn the commandant by crooning the following verse:
"O, Major Waldo,
You great sagamore,
O, what will you do?
Indians at your door!
In September of this year (1689) Captain (now styled Major) Church was commissioned by the authorities of the United Colonies to prosecute the war in Maine, and he sailed accordingly with his forces for Casco Bay. He had with him two hundred and fifty volunteers, English and friendly Indians, and two companies from Massachusetts. His arrival was seasonable, as a large party of Indians and French was ascertained to be in the vicinity, intending to destroy the place. Some smart skirmishing took place upon the succeeding day, but the enemy finally drew off.
When afterwards ordered home with his troops, Church bestirred himself to bring about some action on the part of the government for the more effectual protection of the unfortunate inhabitants of Casco (the country in the vicinity of the present town of Portland), but in vain; and in the ensuing spring the whole district was ravaged by the enemy. The English settlers at the East, after the event, no longer dared to remain exposed to attacks of the savages, and, deserting their homes, collected at the fortified post at Wells, in the south of Maine.
Church's second eastern expedition, in September 1690, was against the Indian forts on the Androscoggin. With little resistance he drove off the occupants, released several English captives, and took prisoners several members of the families of the noted sachems Warombo and Kankamagus. A number of Indian prisoners were brutally murdered by the successful party; but two old squaws were left to deliver a message to their own people that Captain Church had been there, and with him many Indians, formerly adherents of King Philip; and to report further, as a warning, what great success he had met with in the war against the great sachem. Word was also left that if the fugitives "had a mind to see their wives and children, they should come to Wells garrison." With respect to the massacre of prisoners on this occasion, we are left to infer that a portion of them, at least, consisted of women and children. The old narrative here as elsewhere is rather blind, and deficient in detail, but if the facts were as above suggested, the whole history of these Indian wars does not present a more revolting instance of cold-blooded barbarity. That the act was done by Church s orders, or that it was countenanced by him, seems utterly incredible when compared with his usual course towards prisoners. Of one man, who was captured in the taking of Warombo s fort, it is said: "The soldiers being very rude, would hardly spare the Indian s life while in examination;" and it is possible that they might have committed the wanton butchery above mentioned without their commander's concurrence. We would not, how ever, endeavor to screen the guilty; and if Church is to be held responsible for the murder, it certainly must leave a black and indelible stain upon his character.
From the plundered fort Church proceeded to Casco, where he engaged the enemy, and beat them off, but not without the loss of about thirty of his own men in killed and wounded.
In August 1692, Church was again commissioned by Sir William Phipps to undertake an expedition against the Indians at Penobscot; and, although he failed to surprise the enemy, who escaped in their canoes, he destroyed a quantity of their provision, and brought away a considerable amount of plunder.
A force, sent into Maine, in 1693, under Major Convers, was opposed by none of the natives, and, within a short time after, these miserable people were glad to conclude a treaty of peace with the English at Pemmaquid, where a strong fort had been erected in 1690. At this negotiation the hostile tribes delivered hostages as a security that they would cease depredations and renounce their allegiance to the French. Many of them were, notwithstanding, induced to join the invasion under M. de Villiere, in the following year.
In this campaign, the first object was the destruction of the settlement on Oyster River, near Dover, New Hampshire, where twelve houses had been garrisoned and put in a state of defense. Five of these were forced, and nearly one hundred persons were killed or taken prisoners; the other strongholds made a successful defense, but fifteen unprotected houses were burned. Nothing of special interest occurred in connection with the Eastern Indians from this time until 1696. During the summer of that year, some blood was shed by the savages at Portsmouth and Dover; but the most important occurrence of the season was the reduction of the strong fort at Pemmaquid by the enemy. Church was also engaged in another eastern campaign in the months of August and September, but owing to orders received from the colonial authorities, he was impeded in the prosecution of his plans, and nothing of special moment was affected.
In January 1699, the war with the French being at an end, the Indians of Maine and New Hampshire entered into a treaty of peace with the English colonies acknowledging, by their principal sachems, allegiance to the King of England.
War of 1700
When war was again declared, in May 1702, the old difficulties with the Indians were speedily renewed. Governor Dudley, of Massachusetts, endeavored to preserve peace with these tribes, and concluded a negotiation with many of their chiefs, at Casco, in June of the following year. This appears to have been a mere blind on the part of the savages, then, as ever, favorable to the French; for only a few weeks subsequent to the treaty, a simultaneous attack was made upon the eastern English settlements. Every thing fell before the enemy; houses were burned, property of every kind was destroyed or plundered, and one hundred and thirty of the inhabitants were slain or captured.
The news of the terrible calamities attendant on the destruction of Deerfield, in the winter of 17034, combined with what he had himself witnessed of Indian cruelties, incited Major Church to volunteer his further services against the enemy. His blood boiled within him, making such impulses on his mind that he forgot all former treatments, which were enough to hinder any man, especially the said Major Church, from doing any further service." His offers were gladly accepted, and a very considerable force was put under his command, with a good supply of whale-boats, the necessity for which he had seen in former campaigns along the irregular and indented coast of Maine.
Church's Last Campaign
This was the last military duty undertaken by the old soldier, and it was performed with his usual skill and energy. The Indian towns of Minas and Chignecto were taken, and the enemy was successfully engaged at other points. The most noted event of the expedition was the night attack at Passamaquoddy. In the midst of the con fusion incident to the marshalling of disorderly and undisciplined troops, an order was issued by Church for the destruction of a house, and of its inhabitants, who had refused to surrender. In his own words: "I hastily bid them pull it down, and knock them on the head, never asking whether they were French or Indians they being all enemies alike to me." In a note to this transaction, Mr. Drake says: "It does not appear, from a long career of useful services, that Church was ever rash or cruel. From the extraordinary situation of his men, rendered doubly critical by the darkness of the night, and the almost certain intelligence that a great army of the enemy were at hand, is thought to be sufficient excuse for the measure." The major, in his own account, adds: "I most certainly know that I was in an exceeding great passion, but not with those poor miserable enemies; for I took no notice of a half a dozen of the enemy, when at the same time I expected to be engaged with some hundreds of them. In this heat of action, every word that I then spoke I cannot give an account of; and I presume it is impossible." Quarter was shown to all who came out and submitted, upon requisition.
War of 1722
From the close of the war, and the conclusion of peace with France, in 1713, until 1722, there was little to disturb the eastern frontier, further than some contentions between the colonists and Indians arising out of disputed titles to land. A Frenchman named Ralle, of the order of Jesuits, resided, in 1721, among the Indians at Norridgewock, and being suspected by the English of exerting a pernicious influence over his flock, a party was sent, by the Massachusetts government, to seize upon his person. Ralle escaped, and the undertaking only hastened hostilities.
Indian depredations soon commenced, and war was regularly declared by Massachusetts. For three years the frontier settlements suffered severely. The English succeeded in breaking up the principal head-quarters of the enemy, viz: at the Indian castle some distance up the Penobscot, and at the village of Norridgewock.
At the taking of the latter place, Ralle, with from fifty to a hundred of his Indian comrades, perished.
Captain John Lovewell
One of the most noted among the English campaigners during this war was the famous Captain John Lovewell, of Dunstable. His adventures, and particularly the fight at Pigwacket, on the Saco, in which he lost his life, were widely celebrated in the rude verse of the times.
This engagement was the last important event of the war; the Indians were greatly reduced in numbers, and, when no longer stimulated and supported by the French, were incapable of any systematic warlike operations.

Municipalities will pay millions to say goodbye to filaments
Due to the high energy usage of filament light bulbs in Germany's street lighting system, the EU has issued a directive to stop their use future use. Instead, light emitting diode bulbs (LED) would be used going forward.
Much of the current lighting system is more than 40 years old, but is of high quality. It will be more expensive to replace than to just maintain, so there is some amount of pushback from municipalities who need to put out the money.
Lighting accounts for up to 50 percent of the total energy costs for the average German municipality. But with filaments gone and high-pressure mercury lamps being phased out by April 2015), LEDs will become a more attractive and necessary option.
"The German LED market should continue to grow at a very high rate," said Oliver Seiler, director of mechanical and electronic technology at Germany Trade and Invest, the foreign trade and inward investment promotion agency of the Federal Republic of Germany. "It's a lot of investment, and the municipalities in Germany are responsible for themselves, so several business models are being bandied around to try and find the most cost-effective model. But the bottom line is that the market and the opportunities are there, and have to be taken soon."
Driving the market, in part, will be Germany's commitment to reducing harmful carbon dioxide emissions. Plus, municipalities could save up to EUR 2 billion on energy bills when they move from filaments and high-pressure mercury lamps to LEDs.

Ports 1024 and up are for ports used as the return port no. of outbound
calls as well as for unprivileged servers. It may be that an "out of

1024 for outbound calls, and application X (someone mentioned Messenger)
happens to always get 1028 and/or 1029 when it eventually starts. The
hacker is targeting Application X's outbound connection.
Having said that, I don't know the order that Windows uses port numbers,
and it may still may be some service.
The IANA list entry probably means little. Microsoft often has an

A typical case file was stacked high on the desk, when Senator Mark Warner visited the Department of Veterans Affairs Thursday. Justin Roberts demonstrated the electronic records system that is allowing the department to review claims more quickly.
"And I can see that the word Parkinson's came up 93 times in this one document," Roberts explained.
Since October 1st, the Roanoke Regional Office has reduced the number of veterans waiting for decisions on their claims by 20 percent.
"We're not declaring victory," Warner told reporters during a news conference, "but it's a sign of progress."
Warner and leaders of the Department of Veterans Affairs also welcomed the College of William & Mary Law School to a new program that will expedite the processing of claims. The school's Lewis B. Puller, Jr. Veterans Benefits Clinic will help Virginia veterans submit Fully Developed Claims, a process that should reduce the time it takes for the department to render a decision on many disability compensation claims.
Change cannot come quickly enough for veterans who are still waiting.
Christine Sweeney spent 4 years in the Air Force and another year in the Army.
More than three decades later, the Salem resident is still dealing with the emotional trauma from a sexual assault.
She says a claim she filed in 2011 has been languishing with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"It's just so frustrating," Sweeney told WDBJ7 on Thursday morning. "It's like my life is on hold until I know what happens with my claim. And I'm ready to move forward."
Sweeney said she's skeptical that changes announced Thursday will make a difference. She said she feels like she's fighting a losing battle by herself.
Warner said he plans to keep a close eye on the agency, to make sure the progress continues. "Sometimes large organizations are pretty slow at moving and I think we've lit a fire though," Warner told reporters, "and this is a model that hopefully we'll replicate across the country."

Colgate, GlaxoSmithKline, Set to Battle Over Toothpaste 'Nurdle'
Time to brush up on your trademark law.
We turn now to the dog-eat-dog world of toothpaste packaging, where a word we've never heard of is at the center of a heated dispute between the Colgate-Palmolive Company and GlaxoSmithKline.
The loaded word? Nurdle, or, for the uninitiated, "a small amount of toothpaste akin to what consumers would use brushing their teeth."
Colgate-Palmolive filed a suit in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday in defense of its right to use a nurdle on its packaging along with the phrase, Triple Action, which, as everybody knows, refers to "Cavity protection," "Whiter teeth," and "Fresh breath." Click here for the complaint.
"If any oral care product manufacturer were to be prohibited from using nurdle images on product packaging, that manufacturer would be at a competitive disadvantage," warns Colgate in court papers.
The filing levels some heavy accusations at GlaxoSmithKline, which makes the toothpaste AquaFresh. It seeks to have a court declare that Colgate is not infringing on AquaFresh's design, which incorporates both the all-important nurdle and the similar phrase, "Triple Protection." Colgate is claiming that Glaxo is threatening litigation for no other reason than "to further its anti-competitive motivations" and "hinder fair competition."
Glaxo did not immediately return a call and an e-mail from Reuters seeking comment.

Congratulations to the schools that will make up the 28 teams to compete for the national title in New York at the National Moot Court Competition February 2-5. The NMC is the oldest, and arguably the most prestigious, moot court competition in the country (Catholic University's Sutherland Cup, which was started the same year as the NMC, claims to be the oldest, but it has traditionally been an invitational and allows just eight teams to enter).
I haven't done the math in previous years, but this year's ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition may mark the first time the NMC loses the crown of the largest competition in terms of teams competing. 2009's NAAC will have 192 teams from 111 schools; the NMC has 187 teams from 126 schools. Still, the NMC--while just five back in total teams--features participation from 15 more U.S. law schools. And it must be pointed out that the NAAC allows each school to enter two teams (and this year, allowed some schools to enter three teams), while the NMC defers to the regional sponsors as to whether their own schools may enter two teams. Just 7 of the 14 regions allow it, and I have to believe that if all 14 regions permitted two teams from each school, the NMC would easily surpass 200 teams.
Anyway, without further ado, the two advancing teams from each region (along with how many teams and schools competed in that region):
Region 1 (9 teams/9 schools):
Suffolk University Law School
Syracuse University College of Law
Region 2 (12 teams/12 schools):
Brooklyn Law School
Fordham University School of Law
Region 3 (7 teams/7 schools):
George Washington University Law School
University of Pennsylvania Law School
Region 4 (20 teams/11 schools):
Duke University School of Law
William & Mary School of Law
Region 5 (11 teams/11 schools):
Emory University School of Law
Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law
Region 6 (18 teams/9 schools):

Unless someone at the competition feeds me results or posts elsewhere, there's no way to know what's going on until they webcast the final round. Sucks, I know...

State will spend nearly $20 million to upgrade south Lafourche hurricane levees
Published: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 3:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 3:10 p.m.
GALLIANO -- About $20 million in state surplus money will be used to bolster south Lafourche's hurricane-protection system, Gov. Bobby Jindal said today.
It comes in a cooperative agreement between the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and the South Lafourche Levee District.
"The signing of this partnership agreement continues to demonstrate the unprecedented commitment the state has made to hurricane protection and coastal restoration efforts in the last two years," Jindal said. "This system has protected communities from flooding during past storms, but that doesn't simply mean we can pat ourselves on the back and take this levee system for granted. We must continue to be vigilant and make improvements to the structures that protect our homes and our livelihoods."
In total, the state has made a record allocation of nearly $1.7 billion in coastal restoration and hurricane and flood protection projects since Jindal entered office, officials said.
The agreement will allow the Levee District to make major improvements to the protection system. Among them, the district will:
-- Elevate La. 1 next to the Leon Theriot Lock complex in Golden Meadow from 12 to 15 feet. The highway serves as the main evacuation route for south Lafourche and Grand Isle.
-- Add armoring and overtopping protection near pump stations.
-- Raise levee heights throughout the system.

AbstractA highly integrated geochemical program was conducted at the Cranfield CO 2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and sequestration site, Mississippi, U.S.A.. The program included extensive field geochemical monitoring, a detailed petrographic study, and an autoclave experiment under in situ reservoir conditions. Results show that mineral reactions in the Lower Tuscaloosa reservoir were minor during CO 2 injection. Brine chemistry remained largely unchanged, which contrasts with significant changes observed in other field tests. Field fluid sampling and laboratory experiments show consistently slow reactions. Carbon isotopic composition and CO 2 content in the gas phase reveal simple two-end-member mixing between injected and original formation gas. We conclude that the reservoir rock, which is composed mainly of minerals with low reactivity (average quartz 79.4%, chlorite 11.8%, kaolinite 3.1%, illite 1.3%, concretionary calcite and dolomite 1.5%, and feldspar 0.2%), is relatively unreactive to CO 2. The significance of low reactivity is both positive, in that the reservoir is not impacted, and negative, in that mineral trapping is insignificant. ?? 2011.

How to Deter Gulls
Gulls thrive near human habitats that provide a good food source. Fortunately there are many effective and humane products to deter gulls from landing or roosting.
Habitat Modification
Remove any food source
If there is an open food source such as open trash cans or pet food around, covering or removing these food sources will send the birds looking elsewhere for their next meal.
Scare Tactics
Birds have a heightened sense of their environment. If you appeal to their senses such as sight and sound, you can effectively scare birds away from your property using products like the Bird Chase Super Sonic or Reflective Bird Diverters.

Don't Write Off the Far Right
Posted on Sep 20, 2010
It's comforting for liberals to view the conservative world through the MSNBC bubble and mitigated by the opinions of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. The cable network prime-time stars portray the right-wing Republicans as kooks, more laughable than dangerous.
This reflects the game plan of MSNBC, a news operation that has, as the Project for Excellence in Journalism noted, offered itself as "a liberal counterpart to Fox."
But it's not the real world. I only hope Democrats aren't sitting on their couches scoffing along with the MSNBC hosts while the right wing runs away with the election.
That narrative was reinforced last week by Christine O'Donnell's tea party-driven victory in the Delaware Republican primary. Friday, after the election, Maddow turned her attention to both the candidate and to the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., where O'Donnell was given a triumphant welcome.
Maddow featured remarks by one summit-goer, an Alabama politician in cowboy attire urging the audience to "get rid of Barry or Barack or whatever" his name is. She also showed veteran ultra-conservative Gary Bauer telling the audience that the United States is at war with Islam and "the cause of the violence is an Islamic culture that keeps hundreds of millions of people on the edge of murder and mayhem 24 hours a day." O'Donnell was another of the motley group of speakers.
Square, Site wide
The images might have seemed laughable, but actually they were not.
The rants weren't just random screaming. Together, they constituted rhetoric putting American voters on a poisonous path and further damaging Democratic chances in the November election and for President Obama in 2012. As Matt Bai wrote in a perceptive New York Times column last week:
"With every new swipe at President Obama's exotic background or cultural influences, a contingent of Republican leaders is signaling that they believe the coming elections are more than just a referendum on the administration economic policies. Rather, to a degree that is striking, conservatives are also trying to make the fall campaign about the president himself. … If Ronald Reagan was the party's Great Communicator, then Republicans seem to be hoping that Mr. Obama is its Great Galvanizer. … The clear implication that he is neither suitably Christian nor American in his values adds a sinister subtext against his economic agenda."
Yet the Democrats appear paralyzed, unable to put together a counterattack. That was evident on a recent weekend when I visited a party for the opening of a Democratic Party headquarters in Los Angeles' suburban San Fernando Valley. The crowd was much smaller than at a similar event in 2008. The Obama-inspired fire was gone.
"The progressives want to help the Democrats, but they are not enthusiastic," said Democratic volunteer Mike Goldman. But he was enthusiastic enough to be finishing up some organizational paperwork for a board meeting before the program began.
Goldman, a CPA, is the kind of volunteer the Democrats need in this difficult year. Opposition to the Iraq War, after considerable thought, brought him into politics. Much of his reflection was done during a 10-month motor home trip around the country in 2003. "I started really educating myself," he said. "I tried to find a way to get involved. It was really hard."
That, by the way, echoes the complaint of many newcomers trying to find a meaningful place in the volunteer ranks. Goldman started with MoveOn.org during the 2008 primaries and then shifted to Obama for America during the general election.
Goldman seemed ready for the battle, to engage in the get-out-the vote campaign the Democrats need to win this election. But many more Goldmans are needed. "It (victory) depends on what we do in the trenches," said Bob Blumenfield, a state assemblyman.
In his appearance on CNBC Monday, Obama conceded he has a tough sell. He said he knows the economy hasn't grown "fast enough. I know how frustrated people are. I know, in some cases, how desperate people are. But I also know an economy that was shrinking is now growing. We have finally tackled tough challenges like health care that we have been putting off for decades. …"
He's the only one who can sell the message across the country, and that's what he's going to have to do with great intensity. Only Obama can stimulate Democrats to join Goldman and the other activists now in the field.
The Democrats will get breaks, as they did when Bill Maher reprised an O'Donnell appearance on his old "Politically Incorrect" show in which the tea-party favorite said, "I dabbled in witchcraft. I never joined a coven. I hung around people who were doing these things."
That's amusing, but it's not enough to beat someone like O'Donnell in an election when the country is going through such hard times.

Do you have DirectTV? You don't have to watch MSNBC any more. Channel 348, Free Speech TV, seems to have appeared without much fanfare and it features several programs with Thom Hartmann, Grit TV with Laura Flanders and much more.
I used to watch MSNBC in the evenings along with Democracy Now (on Link TV, also quite good) but with all of these great alternatives I'm finding I don't have time.

Leefeller: 'The large flock of people who believe Obama is a Muslim or believe Obama is not a citizen indicates the reality of untruths, though one could say it is ignorance, another could say it is contrived convenience.'
I have a feeling a lot of it actually is ignorance. I have often tried to comment on lots of different conservative blogs but you need to register or join (join the tea party? no thankyou), and they seem to monitor what is posted if, for instance, you stretch the truth a few thousand miles and claim to be from Alabama. Then of course you are either deleted or shouted down with false 'facts'.
It is one huge echo chamber. Some of those people may just need to hear contradictory views from people they trust, some sort of plan for the future that makes sense to them, or just to hear differing views much more often then they are currently hearing them. There's a huge cone of silence around the far right.
Or maybe that's just the nature of fascism.

Mr. Boyarsky, you are trying to convince your readers that we should be as stupid as the right wingers and support the Democratic Party without any understanding of the real issues. The problem with your argument is that Obama and the Democratic leadership is totally in bed with corporate interests. They have failed progressives in every respect. We're still at war, secret prisons are still operating, rendition continues, our drones kill hundreds in foreign countries, gay rights have been neglected, labor has been shunned altogether, education continues to be corporatized, environmental issues were put out of reach with the administration's deceitful deal in Copenhagen, big agriculture continues to wreck our food system, Washington is as corrupt as ever, and you want us to get excited about Obama?

I voted for Obama with great hope for real change!
Change meant that he would put the needs of the people of this country first. Ahead of the interests of powerful corporations and billionaires. He has proved to be just another corporate servant.
Change meant we would stop spending the country's wealth killing brown people in Iraq and Afghanistan so the defense industry can earn extreme profit, and, in doing so, actually make us all less safe.
Change meant that he would keep his promise for a transparent negotiation for health care reform instead of the traditional backroom deals he used to force us all to become customers of a rapacious health care industry.
Change meant that he would keep his promise to end the abuses of American civil liberties under the Bush Administration instead of actually increasing the level of those abuses.
Change meant that he would honor American law. That he would honor his obligations under the UN Convention against Torture and investigate the Bush Administration for it's use of Torture. That he would not be using drones for illegal assassinations and killing innocent civilians while doing so.
I haven't seen any real change from Obama. I see him as just another corporate tool in a long line of corporate tools. I won't be fooled again. I support Democracy. Not Oligarchy. Not Plutocracy.

Men's Hairstyles: 2012
The Best Men's Hairstyles Of 2012
Men's Hairstyles: 2012
Double SlickClassic: In some form or another, a sleek slick has regularly appeared in men's hairstyles over the past few years, largely due to the popularity of period dramas like Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. This year, the twist is two slicks instead of one. To wear the double slick in a more classic way, like actor Chris Hemsworth, you'll need to grow your hair to medium length. Next, create a centre parting close to your forehead using your fingers, but don't be too precise about it - you're going for a wavy look that balances refinement with roguishness. Lastly, use a minimal amount of gel or styling cream and a wide-toothed comb to gently manoeuvre your front hair slightly upward and toward the side.
On-trend Take: To adopt 2012's double slick in a less traditional way, check out the style sported by actor Michael Pitt. Reminiscent of the sharp hairstyles favoured by men in the early 20th century, this cut is characterised by hair that is significantly longer on the top than it is on the sides. To get this style, ask your barber to trim the hair on the crown of your head to a medium length and to remove weight from the sides of your head - the braver you are, the shorter the bottom layers can go. At home, comb all of your hair back with a touch of styling product and run your fingers through your hair to achieve the double slick. This hairstyle works best with straight hair.
Indie-Rock FrontClassic: The cool, mod-ish look that has become synonymous with indie rock was highly influential in determining men's hairstyles for 2012. And whether you like the music or not, this hairstyle is incredibly easy to wear. A classic version of this cut, like the one worn by Lionel Messi, simply involves asking your barber to snip some piecey layers into your hair and then brushing the front forward before you leave for work.
On-trend Take: Given that 2012's indie rock hairstyle is really about a full head of hair that women will want to run their hands through, your focus should be on choosing products that will help you get strong, shiny strands. For a cooler variant of the indie front, add a volumising mousse to your hair-care routine to get some lift (US talkshow host Jimmy Fallon's is a good example), and then finger-style your hair for a purposefully undone look. This style lends itself well to naturally wavy hair.
We have more men's hairstyles for 2012, next...

Nia Decaille's many leadership roles on campus earned her the Senior Leadership Award this year. "It means a lot to me because I learned from so many great leaders, who are also people of color on campus," she says. "This award really goes to those before my who taught me how to lead."
"For me, this award is a recognition of why community-engaged learning is, and should be, one of the pillars of UMass's Strategic Plan for the development of a well-educated, civically-minded population," says Associate Professor Ellen Pader (regional planning). "I'm continually awed by the thirst so many students have for classes that guide them in their quest to be agents of positive social change, and how willing they are to grapple deeply with emotionally and intellectually difficult subjects in order to attain that goal."

Raising awareness on family support, justice and security
By: Suad Allami, UNDP Iraq
UNDP Iraq held a workshop to raise awareness on the Family Support, Justice and Security Project and the role of Family Protection Units, which provide assistance to victims of domestic and gender based violence.
The event took place at the Oil Cultural Centre in Baghdad and was an opportunity for UNDP Iraq staff to bring stakeholders and interested parties up-to-date with the current status of the project and highlight achievements.
At the event, the Minister for the State Ministry of Women's Affairs Dr. Ebtihal Al-Zaidi praised the work of the Family Protection Units in their efforts to combat violence against women and domestic violence in Iraq.
The Ministries pledged to organize similar events to further highlight the work and continue raising public awareness on the Family Protection Units.
The workshop participants discussed in detail improving the links between the Family Protection Units, NGOs and the government.
The event was attended by UNDP's partners to this project including female investigative judges from Iraq's Higher Judicial Council, Iraqi and international NGOs, representatives from the President's Office, government officials from the Ministry of Interior, Education, Human Rights, Labour and Social Affairs, Youth and Sports, district councils and UN agencies.
UNDP established its Family Support, Justice and Security Programme in 2010 in partnership with the Government of Iraq and various civil society groups. Based on the model of a similar programme in Jordan, it aims to offer survivors of domestic and gender based violence both refuge and support. The project enhances the capacity of institutions to establish family protection centres to improve law enforcement and increase access to justice.

An Ohio jury has determined that Yamaha and a dealer are not responsible for the death of a 10-year-old girl who was killed in a Rhino SSV accident in 2007.
The jury in the product liability case in Warren County Common Pleas Court delivered its verdict Monday. The jury found the Rhino was defective, but not responsible for Ellie Sand's death.
"We are very pleased with the jury's verdict," Yamaha attorney Paul Cereghini told the Middletown Journal. "We feel Yamaha has been vindicated. We had the utmost confidence that Yamaha would prevail in this case and that's what's happened."
Parents, John and Tammie Sand, who sought $20 million in damages in the case, say they hope the finding will prompt the Consumer Product Safety Commission to crack down on Rhinos.
"Ellie was the 28th to die on the machine and almost an additional 70 have died since Ellie," John Sand says. "I hate to see all these other kids and people get hurt and killed. ... Nothing the jury could have done can bring Ellie back; I'm still going to mourn."
