Fifth Teenager Dies in Long Island Car Crash
A fifth teenager involved in a Long Island vehicular crash Saturday that killed a car full of Farmingdale High School students has died, officials said.
Cody Talanian, 17 years old, was pronounced dead at 10 p.m. Sunday, a day after he was thrown from a 2001 Nissan after it veered into oncoming traffic and was struck by a GMC Suburban on Conklin Street in Farmingdale.
The four other teens in the Nissan—Jesse Romero, 18, Tristan Reichle, 17, Noah Francis, 15, and Carley Lonnborg, 14—were also killed in the 12:04 a.m. crash near Staples Street.
The Nassau County Police Department didn't say Monday what caused the fatal wreck.
The 53-year-old male driver of the Suburban and his female passenger were also hospitalized with serious injuries.
As the WSJ's Greater New York Section reported in Monday's paper:
One was a joker with dreams of making it in the movie business, another hoped to become a police officer, a third was an honors student and one had moved to Long Island not long ago for a fresh start after a tragedy.
The four victims of a fatal car crash over the weekend were students at Farmingdale High School, the center of life in this blue-collar Long Island village where residents were struggling Sunday to make sense of what happened.
"We have a whole community in mourning," said John Lorentz, the superintendent of the Farmingdale School District. "We've never experienced a tragedy of this magnitude. It's like your worst fear."

The Sydney, Australia-based third-party logistics provider will build two new purpose-built ships with 40 percent more capacity to support trade between Victoria and Tasmania, the company said in a statement.
The Greek port saw profits for the first half of 2016 jump 5.6 percent year-over-year to 12.7 million euros, despite headwinds from a 28-day strike carried out by staff between May and June.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The Itasca, Ill.-based third-party logistics provider has added a 50,000-square-foot warehouse on the border of Shenzhen in southeastern China, 30 minutes away from the Port of Hong Kong and 45 minutes from Hong Kong International Airport.
The ocean shipping e-commerce platform saw first half transactions across its platform increase 17 percent year-over-year, compared to less than 4 percent growth in overall container volume through May.
Industrial conglomerate Honeywell is reportedly in talks to purchase JDA Software, one of the largest developers of transportation management system and warehouse management system platforms.

Enroll Now!
From day one, I felt the lessons were providing valuable information and techniques that have improved my ability to take pictures. The supplemental information was invaluable. Although I did not contribute to the discussion groups, I did review them and found a lot of information and positive feedback from the instructor and assistants. Great course, thank you.
I really improved my photographic skills. My husband said that my photos look like they were taken by a pro. (Prior to this course he wouldn't comment!!) I enjoyed the instructor's writing style. She made the online course feel much more personal by sharing her own experiences. The TA's responses were prompt, pleasant, and helpful. Thanks!
This is the second photography course I have taken with Beverly and feel she is an excellent instructor. I have really enjoyed the assignments after each lesson and appreciate the feedback on the photos from her or one of her assistants.
This course exceeded my expectations! I loved it, and am sorry it has come to an end! I set out to learn the manual settings on my DSLR, and I learned that as well as so much more. I was frustrated with only using my Auto setting before this class, now I'm excited about my camera and all that I can do with it. I found Beverly to be a very good instructor, and Kimberly to be a great TA! Having the chance to interact with fellow students by reading their comments and seeing their photos is immeasurable. Thank you so much for a wonderful course!
This class was great! Many times I have tried to learn photography from books and I just was not successful. This class did the trick. Now I understand how it all goes together. I wasted several years trying to teach myself. Thank you so much.
This was a great course. It covered the areas I needed to work on, including when and how to use Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority modes. I look forward to taking the Travel Photography course.
I have taken a photography class before, but this course was a nice improvement on that one. I like how the instructor is so very practical in her advice. I like that she understands that novices need some time with the auto settings and Aperture or Shutter priority settings. I feel comfort in using these, but I know in time I will be ready to go totally manual. I thank the instructor for her encouragement to just try what is available on the camera for beginners like me.
This course was excellent. I have taken two courses on digital photography and have learned more than I ever thought I would in this course. My Canon T2i camera is no longer a "point and shoot" camera. I now know how to change settings to get the pictures I am after. I am trying to put to use all the things I have learned by taking more pictures and re-reading the areas where I need more understanding. Thanks for developing this program. I have enjoyed this class and will use the information for many years to come.
Great course! I learned a lot! I'm so pleased that I now understand shutter speed and aperture and know how to use shutter priority and aperture priority on my camera.
I needed a refresher, and this course included everything and more that I knew about photography. A great summary and a great help to me to reinforce the basics again. I have a new found confidence in my photography and I'm looking forward to the next course.

5 Bizarre Parts of Christianity That Are Going Away Forever
As someone who was once happily immersed in the evangelical Christian lifestyle, who went to church three days a week (while in college), who signed a contract (at age 12) promising never to drink or do drugs or have sex before marriage, who self-censored mainstream secular music for a whole year and still can't hear "Hotel California" without getting the heebie-jeebies (because of Satanism, duh), my perspective on hardcore fundamentalism comes from a place of love and honest reflection. How can you not love people who want nothing more than to keep you from spending eternity negotiating a lake made of fire? The whole gist of evangelical Christianity is that they like you and want you to hang out with them in heaven someday. Some of them are just more terrible than others at expressing their feelings.
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Think of Westboro Baptist members as the face tumor of the Christian community. Even their friends want to cut them off.
As America starts looking more secular and less like Pat Robertson's 1950s-era dream board, I suspect a few of the sillier elements of Christian culture are going to disappear forever. Which is too bad, because some parts of hardcore Christianity are objectively hilarious and we should always mourn the loss of solid comedy. Here are a few pieces of Christianity that no one (but me) is going to miss.
#5. Horrifying Old-School Gospel Tracts
The difference between Southern Baptists and Catholics is that Southern Baptists are burdened with the belief that every person who hasn't confessed Jesus Christ as their personal savior is going to spend an eternity suffering in Hell. So if Hitler made a confession of faith immediately before his death but Gandhi didn't, guess who's chilling with his homeboy Jesus as we speak? (The answer rhymes with "Shitler.")
This is why evangelical Christians approach their faith with more urgency than other religious people. In their eyes, invading your sense of privacy or Facebook feed is a small inconvenience compared to living through an eternity separated from God. And back in the '70s and '80s, no one got that urgency better than Jack Chick. Chick had a really good idea -- use comic book art to explain the Gospel in simple books that Christians could pass out to nonbelievers. I can't overstate what a huge innovation the Chick tracts must have been for shy Christians who wanted to win souls for Jesus but didn't want to actually talk to people. The problem was that even though Chick had a great idea, he was certifiably crazy.
I don't mean "he's super religious so I'm dismissing him" crazy. I mean "he thinks the literal Devil in his physical form murders children on Halloween night" crazy.
In addition to believing Halloween is a night for human sacrifices to Satan, Chick also has strong opinions about Catholics. Specifically that Catholics were behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and that Jesus himself will eventually destroy the Vatican.
If the Catholic Church is "The Great Whore" and "Satan's Prostitute," what am I doing with these face tattoos saying the same thing?
Picture an 8-year-old child cherry-picking the parts of the Bible that sound the most like plot points in a video game that his mom won't let him play, and you've got the Chick mindset nailed down pat. Scratch that. Picture a crazy 8-year-old cherry-picking the parts of late-night HBO movies that he caught glimpses of when his babysitter thought he wasn't looking, because Chick was definitely into some freaky stuff that has nothing to do with the Bible. Stuff like Voodoo:
How Dungeons and Dragons leads to suicide:
And Freemasonry was really about worshiping a dude named Baphomet:
Thanks to Chick, little Christian children never need to pick up a Stephen King book to know true horror.
#4. Stupid Christian Parody Shirts
Show of hands: How many of you accepted Christ into your hearts after reading the text of a passive-aggressive shirt or bumper sticker? Be honest, we're all friends here. This is a safety zone. No one? Not one person in the history of the universe has ever changed religions because of a parody T-shirt? Get out of town and take your lying devil mouths with you.
For some Christians, every moment is an opportunity to share their faith with nonbelievers. But they don't want to be so serious that they come across as "holier than thou" preachers, thus the parody Christian T-shirt was born. The formula is simple: Steal the logo of a well-known brand, reword it so it loosely references your faith in the most ham-fisted way possible, maintain order when the Gospel- and comedy-starved crowds inevitably form. This shirt, for example, takes the Tide logo and uses it to explain how the wearer is washed in the blood of the Lamb (another name for Christ), a concept that's not at all horrifying or alienating to nonbelievers.
Hint: Never use "We bathe in blood" in your sales pitch, religious or otherwise.
With Christian parody T-shirts, you can simultaneously declare your faith and awareness of cultural touchstones, two things that are important to teens, grandmas, and marketing executives.
Who is this shirt even targeting?
To be fair, the shirts aren't necessarily evangelical tools. They're really coded uniforms so that Christian kids can find each other in secular schools. No, my milk-ad-parody "GOT JESUS?" shirt isn't going to entice thirsty but confused people to the church, but it will show the other Christians at school that I'm one of them and they should let me eat lunch at their table instead of on the toilet in the bathroom. It's the same thing as a stoner kid identifying himself with a Bob Marley shirt or a comedy nerd dragging John Cleese to school with him every day. We all do what we have to do to find our clique.
Parody Christian shirts are especially effective if they're edgy and hilarious in a timely way.
It's funnier if you picture Jesus doing the "whassup" tongue thing at the same time.
It's weird how the shirt thing is unique to Christians. Can you imagine a Muslim wearing a logo that kind of looked like Jim Carrey from The Mask but on closer inspection, actually said "The Mosque"? Or a Buddhist person corrupting the Budweiser logo so that it said "Buddha Wiser"? I'm afraid haphazardly jamming your Lord and Savior into fashion is strictly a Christian thing.
Notice the nail marks in the hands.
Obviously I don't have a problem with funny shirts or people who wear them. Funny shirts put food on the table around here, so please visit the Cracked Dispensary!
#3. Utterly Insane Church Pageants
Here's a tidbit secular people might not know: Christians love skits and plays. If you've never performed the part of "jaded atheist wearing sunglasses" at church camp, I doubt you ever went to church camp. Unfortunately, any theater production is incredibly easy to screw up. All you need to ruin a perfectly fine play is just enough eyeliner to make the men in the audience uncomfortable. Couple that heavy stage makeup with an overtly spiritual agenda and you end up with a Jesus-themed soap opera enjoyed by no one.
Case in point, this homegrown maelstrom of insanity begins with Hans and Franz impersonators and ends with WrestleMania Jesus.
During this scarefest, the audience is also treated to gritty gang members sporting Stand and Deliver cholo accents and shooting people for loving Jesus, a Sam Kinisonesque Devil spinning in circles like Wonder Woman while screaming, "I HATE YOU ALLLLLLLLL!" and, oh -- a suicide via shot to the head:
And, finally, an altar call in which the stage is filled with horrified children who want nothing more than to never have Satan scream at them again.
Top that, Rent!

Which press are you talking about?
March 7, 2013, 08:37 PM
Depends, a little stiff and sticky is not uncommon. Look everything over closely, lube the ram and linkage and work it through.
March 7, 2013, 08:41 PM
Things come shipped with anti rust goop on it. Just like a new gun, clean/degrease everything and then relube/grease as per the owner's manual
March 7, 2013, 09:07 PM
its not overlt tight is just abit tighter than the other 2 preeses ive used. With them you could turn press over and ram would move this one dont
March 7, 2013, 09:20 PM
Sounds good. It is a precision fit and a quality press will be tight until you crank out a few rounds. It will loosen up a bit after you use it. Might try some rubbing alcohol to clean the ram followed by a light oil or something.
March 7, 2013, 09:23 PM
i put clp on it and it help it moves free but just have to use handle wont move like my others ones did when turn upside down
March 7, 2013, 09:31 PM
Sounds like you need to clean the ram, oil the linkage for the handle and wipe off any excess oil. You don't want the ram moving by itself, just make sure it is not binding at the ram linkage, you may have tightened it too much.
March 7, 2013, 09:32 PM
I actually use transmission fluid on my single stage press ram. It is a light 10 wt. oil that I have available. On my progressive I use wheel bearing grease. Oil attracts dirt and dirt will wear the bore/cylinder of the press over time.
March 7, 2013, 09:39 PM
Lube with Break Free CLP, load 1000 rounds. I bet that will fix it. Just dont load up side down. :D
March 7, 2013, 11:08 PM
I use white lithium on mine. And once a year or so I take them apart and do a good cleaning on all the linkage and ram, not that it's really necessary. I like my tools to function smooth, I can't stand any grabbing or stuttering. In all honesty, I feel like a clean working press makes it easier to feel crimps, and primer seats, and all other tasks. I like to feel the ram is home.
March 8, 2013, 03:27 AM
i put clp on it and it help it moves free but just have to use handle wont move like my others ones did when turn upside down
The press was not designed to be turned upside down to make it work. If everything feels smooth and nothing is binding don't worry about the ram not moving when you turn the press upside down. Like I said, that's not what the press was designed to do...
March 8, 2013, 09:45 AM
but just have to use handle wont move like my others ones did when turn upside down
Mount the press to a bench. Then you won't be able to turn it upside down. Then you won't notice. Problem solved. :evil:
March 8, 2013, 10:02 AM
lol im just saying is a little tighter than the 2 I used previous
March 8, 2013, 10:11 AM
And it's not incorrect at all; it's merely a style choice, not an error.
Correct. The prior post was a fine example of Muphry's Law at work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry's_law
March 8, 2013, 04:23 PM
My experience has been - with stiff ram movement it's usually the linkage that has been over tightened and you are feeling excessive friction between the moving linkage parts, not the ram in the casting.
March 9, 2013, 12:30 PM
I was using a 40+ year old CH CHampion that was smooth as silk when I bought a new Lee Classic Turret. I thought something was wrong with the LCT there was so much difference. However, after cleaning and lubricating the ram and lubricating the linkage, after a few hundred rounds it too became very smooth.
The CH may have been stiff too, but I really can't remember 40 years!:rolleyes:
March 9, 2013, 03:06 PM
Thouroughly clean the press and and check for burrs or loose material. lube ram with light oil and the other parts that move against each other with grease. I like white lithium grease. A little goes a long way.
Clean the ram and re-lube every 1000 rounds or so.
Dissasemble and clean the dies. Lightly oil or wax for rust protection.
Make sure any other equipment in your kit is clean. Sometimes bits of cleaning or polishing material gets stuck in critical points. Also check for burrs.
More expensive equipment is better cleaned and polished at the factory than less expensive equipment, but even the best stuff will occasionaly have a minor issue.

OK, so if thud isn't the problem for PSU, what is?
September 17, 2013 - Cory Giger
UNIVERSITY PARK -- One potentially easy answer for Penn State's tackling problems has no merit, coach Bill O'Brien said, but whether that's a good thing or not isn't so easy to answer.
The Lions missed numerous tackles in Saturday's loss to Central Florida, leading fans and media to question whether the team's heavy use of thud work in practice is the culprit.
"It has nothing to do with thud; 120 teams in the country all basically practice with thud," O'Brien said. "Very rare that teams go live anymore, especially if you look at pro football."
Thud is when defenders hit offensive players but don't tackle them to the ground, and it's done to prevent players from getting injured in practice.
Linebacker Glen Carson also said thud isn't what has led to the poor tackling in games.
"I just really don't think it has anything to do with the thud tackling," Carson said. "There's hundreds of teams across the country that do the same thing, and it's really part of the game now."
OK, so it's not thud. What is it?
In some ways, it might be better for Penn State if thud actually was the problem. That would be a singular, identifiable issue that could be addressed and altered to some degree collectively in practice.
Instead, O'Brien himself pointed out that the tackling problems involve several components. They can be fixed, he added, but at the core they are mistakes being made by the players.
"It has to be being in better football position, being aligned correctly," O'Brien said of the tackling. "I thought we were aligned improperly sometimes. So those are things we can correct."
"Basically the missed tackles just came down to fundamental mistakes," Carson said. "We've just got to work on those fundamentals. … There were definitely some mental mistakes, misalignments here and there. We just really didn't play Penn State football."
O'Brien also cited "proper technique" as a component, then he said something revealing about the mindset of defensive players.
"It has to do with wanting to make the tackle," he said.
That part, in particular, is intriguing because desire cannot be taught. Some defenders, such Troy Polamalu, just have an innate desire to crunch offensive players without regard for their own bodies, while others might not always seek out the most brutal contact.
It's too early in the season to tell if the Nittany Lions have enough sheer talent on the defensive side of the ball to handle the challenges they'll face in the Big Ten. Depth and talent levels on the line and at linebacker were some of the biggest question marks on the team before the season, and those things don't have anything to do with thud.
If it just came down to thud, then the coaches could come up with a plan B. But if the players on defense just aren't good enough at times to make the plays they need to make, that ultimately would be a more worrisome issue.
As for all the talk about thud and its impact, O'Brien said, "It's probably my fault because I came out and talked about the way we practice."
That was never the case under Joe Paterno, who didn't discuss such issues, and the media couldn't report on it because practice was always closed.
But former PSU receiver Derrick Williams said the team didn't tackle in practice during his career from 2005-08, and he played alongside some of the best linebackers in school history in Sean Lee, Paul Posluszny and Navorro Bowman.
"We never tackled. Never," Williams said.
"Paul never tackled in practice," he added. "Sean Lee never tackled in practice. Navorro never tackled in practice. Never. I remember one time when we were in practice Navorro did drag me down, and Joe kicked his butt out of practice."
O'Brien repeatedly said Tuesday that the way Penn State practices "is not unique."
"There's hundreds of teams out there that practice the same way we practice," he said. "It's not unique at all. I've been places where we never hit. I've been places where we hit every day, and we couldn't tackle anybody."
Thud or not, Penn State's defenders have to prove they don't fall into that last category.
SUBHD: Positive spin
Carson called Saturday's loss "a blessing in disguise" and said the team will be more focused because of it.
"You've got to hate to lose more than you want to win," he said. "I think that that loss was humbling to us, and I think the feeling of that loss, I don't think anyone really wants to feel that again."
SUBHD: Injury update
Linebacker Mike Hull is still nursing a sore knee, but O'Brien said he is the only player facing anything more than typical bumps and bruises going into week four.
"Mike Hull wasn't 100 percent out there [Saturday]," Carson said. "My hat goes off to him, he's a real tough guy and he wanted to get back on the field as soon as he can for the team. But I don't think that he was 100 percent healthy."
SUBHD: Personnel report
There is now competition for one of the starting linebacker jobs as the depth chart lists Nyeem Wartman or Stephen Obeng-Agyapong in the top spot.
One of the defensive tackle jobs also is up for grabs as the depth chart lists the starter as Kyle Baublitz or Austin Johnson.
When deciding between two players who are competing, O'Brien said multiple components enter the equation.
"We look at the previous game, we grade that game, who's playing better coming out of that game," the coach said. "We really look at practice, who practices the best on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. That's the only thing that's fair to the guys. We don't just hide it. We show it to them on film. This is where the guy did a little bit better than you; he's going to start the game."
SUBHD: Redshirt report
O'Brien said he does not expect any more true freshmen to play, so those who haven't seen the field yet are expected to redshirt, barring unforeseen circumstances.

5 Reasons Batman Always Wins
The Dark Knight Rises comes out soon, and any geek worth his retainer figures the villain Bane will break Bruce Wayne's back so that Joseph Gordon-Levitt can assume the bat-mantle.
Spoiler alert: Maybe!
But the question isn't whether or not Christian Bale will end up in a wheelchair; it's how does paralyzation factor into Batman's goals? Because, you see, there are three inviolable rules in comic books:
- Hulk smash
- Gravity doesn't work on breasts
- and BATMAN NEVER LOSES.
What we perceive as a defeat is just Batman reverting to a less preferable form of victory. So whether he gets crippled or dies, you can be sure it's just the Dark Knight's way of getting the upper hand.
The film's trailer shows Bane whipping Gotham into alternating states of terror and rebellion. What it doesn't show are the five attributes that make Batman undefeatable.
So here's that now, because we love you.
Whoa whoa whoa -- what's this "going" business?
Who is Batman, really? Is Bruce Wayne just Batman playing dumb, or is Batman Bruce Wayne unleashing crazy? The answer: grapefruit orchestra blitz! That's right: both crazier and dumber than you guessed.
We can all agree that Bruce Wayne isn't simply pretending to be disturbed. We just can't tell if Batman is the expression of his illness or the therapy for dealing with it. Until now.
Despite the debate whether Batman is the personality-shelf where Bruce Wayne stores the crazy-plates, one thing is certain: Batman has his own absolutely crazy Batmanlier persona that he saves for the really bad trauma like dad not loving him or losing sex privileges to a supermodel.
I'm going to tell you right now; Warner Bros. owns everything
This is why the Internet loves you, Batman.
All you need to know about the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is that writer Grant Morrison made Batman into a lunatic hobo-clown guided by a spirit animal who looks like a thalidomide baby. Instead of sorely offending geeks to the point that we won't even acknowledge that bats are real animals, he penned one of the best stories Batman's ever face-stomped his way through.
There are only two possible explanations: Grant Morrison is even crazier than Batman, which we've already established is like being wetter than water ...
... OR BATMAN NEVER LOSES, and Morrison is a genius who had faith in that. He chucked Bats into the most humiliating situation possible, and the Caped Crusader found a way out of it that made him stronger. That's Batman's superpower. If you ever manage to wound the Bat, he'll bleed into your eyes and poison you, because no one shares Bruce Wayne's blood type of Vengeance-positive.
What This Means for the Movie:
Crazy cannot be defeated, it can only be diverted.
Bane has a plan to upheave Gotham. But you know who else had plans? The Waynes, Ra's Al Ghul and Harvey Dent. All of those people are dead now. You know who didn't make plans? The Joker, because he was crazy. And he survived.
It is lunacy, my friends, that settles the day in Gotham City. Sure, Bane is brilliant and powerful, but he made one mistake: He brought logic to a crazy-fight.
What was his plan if there wasn't a Moon Scorpion handy?
That's not to say Batman doesn't take charge of every situation, but he's more about the tactics than the strategy. That's why the controller configuration for Batman: Arkham City boiled down to "Break that guy's bones" and "Don't break that guy's bones yet." The only talent necessary to become Batman is to determine whether a thug needs pain, and the criterion for that is "Is he standing where Batman can see him?"
Why, he breaks his own spine for fun on weekends!
As we've established, Gotham is where plans go to die (and get stitched back together in hideous mockeries of their aspirations). That's why some people say the Joker's a perfect foil for Batman -- he's the embodiment of chaos. This view overlooks the fact that Batman is, too.
Batman wears the night as a costume and makes himself the patron saint of unknown terrors. He isn't about order; he's about control, which is much more protean. He became an avatar of the same unpredictability that ruined his life. Both hero and villain agree that life is horrifying and brutal, but the Joker wants everyone to see that there's nothing to be done for it, so you might as well laugh -- and, in fact, you might not be able to stop laughing well past the point of coughing up blood.
The Dark Knight, by contrast, knows that a diverse skill set readies a man for any situation. And in a city where the parks department poisons white swans, he's right. That's why he carries a tool in his utility belt for every predicament from shark attack to Nicki Minaj concert.
Pictured: A Nicki Minaj concert.
The Joker is a perfect foil, but only because he wants Batman to see the futility of fighting the inevitable. Like most great comedians, he offers a perfect critique of how screwed we all are, but no solutions beyond "Y'gotta laugh, right?" And Batman, like many offended audiences, keeps interrupting the act to tell him he sucks.
DC, where are my New 52 Adventures of Planetary?
Batman fought transdimensional, metafictional archeologists ... and had just the spray for that.
What This Means for the Movie:
Bane's idea for fighting an adaptive vengeance-monster is to change its environment. What are you going to do, incite Gothamites to riot? That's like trying to catch a tiger by slaughtering cows at it.
The man could find a bloody fight in a prayerbook.
Maybe Bane's plan is to raze Gotham itself. Great! Less time that Batman has to waste pretending to be Bruce Wayne. Break his back? Bruce will phone you from a hospital bed made of beautiful women and charm you into punching yourself to death.
(Oh, and good luck overthrowing the social order 20 years after any sense of order was gunned down in Crime Alley.)
What Bane fails to understand is that every moment Batman is force-feeding criminals their own spines, he's doing what he loves, and once there are no more criminals, he's getting what he wants. In any scenario, he's at least breaking even (and femurs).
"But hey, at least he won't kill you," says the rhetorical guy who lives at the end of a section in every Cracked list and never gets tired of being wrong ...
This is like a hurricane arming itself with a tornado.
You know how crooks fear Batman because they don't know he won't kill them? That's because up until the '50s he racked a body count so high that dictators consider it a little excessive. His early adventures all end with him "accidentally" tripping a crook into a vat of acid, and if that failed, he just shot them in the face for the good of society -- a classic tactic of affluent people when the underclass disturb the social order.
... you know, just like Bane intends to do.
I know you think Batman hates guns, but that's Approved by the Comics Code Authority Batman. Original Flavor only left enough gangsters alive to whisper his legend to horrified policemen. Guess which one movie Batman more closely resembles? Most of Nolan's scenes of Batman vs. mobsters are shot exactly like slasher films. Vowing never to pick up a gun doesn't stop a guy who can think of creative ways to kill you with a fierce stare.
Seriously, guys, all of this is DC
My stars, but that boy has a talent.
What This Means for the Movie:
But he doesn't do it anymore, right? Sure, except for all of the time, including when he doesn't feel like fighting. Man, monster, malevolent deity: Batman finds a justification to kill them all. Speaking of death by staring contest, here he is smiling as he assassinates God.
Batman dueled God, and God was a little too slow.
Did you see what just happened? The two most common ways of calling something fast are "in the blink of an eye" and "at the speed of light," and Batman outdrew both of them. That is not the gunplay of a man out of practice. The new metaphor for speed just became "half a Batman." And let's also note that he wielded a pistol against a god's eyebeams so the duel would be fair.
So don't think Batman won't kill you if it suits him. Bane will put up a good effort, but in the end he'll get waxed like a Brazilian surfboard. He'd better pray Tom Hardy turns in an Oscar-winning performance, because the only thing that saved Heath Ledger's Joker was charisma. Don't pretend Batman can outdraw a beam of light but can't save Two-Face from falling off a ledge. The truth is, he just didn't care to.
In fact, there's not much Batman does care about ...

301: One Wrong Move
A series of bombs are set through the city. Against a ticking clock SRU has to find them, dismantle them and evacuate the premises. The bombs are set by eco-terrorists. Their intention is to scare the public into doing what they want but not hurt anyone. The final bomb is at a University. Louis goes in to dismantle the bomb under Spike's guidance, but as he gets closer to the bomb, he steps on a landmine. Our team works furiously to try to dismantle the land mine, but there is no way. In a terribly sad turn of events, after telling his parents that he loves them, Lou is forced to sacrifice his life for the team and the lives of the University students.
302: Never Let You Down
As the team mourns Lou, and we meet Leah Kearns, a dangerous stalker kidnaps a woman, whom he believes to be his own daughter. Nevertheless, he threatens to kill her if she does not go along with his plans. The stalker also kidnaps and injures her fiancé. Our team investigates the news station where the young woman works.
303: The Farm
In this episode SRU is brought in to diffuse the possible mass killing at a hidden cult. The action kicks off when a woman holds up a convenience store. She is clearly desperate, and they trace her identity to a young woman that went missing fifteen years prior. It turns out she was taken in by this charismatic young cult leader, and now has a son with him. She is desperate to get her son out because she knows her cancer-doomed husband is planning to take everyone out by the end of the day. The team works furiously against the clock to figure a way into the compound without compromising themselves.
304: Custody
A brutal custody battle between an estranged husband and wife turns deadly when a woman kidnaps her two young children and makes a break for the border. In a tricky reveal in the teaser of the episode, we think that the husband has lost custody of the kids, and as he holds a lawyer at gunpoint, we learn that he actually won custody of the kids, but they have been taken by his ex wife. Her plan is to get them out of the country. She manages to lie to everyone, and nearly gets away with the kids, until SRU sweeps in and takes control.
305: Coming To You Live
A controversial talk show host seeks revenge on a politician whose career is taking off. The host invites the office-seeker onto his show as a guest, and slowly reveals that he believes the candidate committed a murder ten years ago. The politician denies any wrong doing, and is terrified when the talk show host pulls a gun on him, and holds him hostage. Listening to the program live in the van, the SRU snaps into action to rescue the politician, by tracking down the remote, pirate radio station that they are transmitting from, and talking the talk show host out of killing this man. In a sad twist, we find out that the young man that was killed ten years ago in the car crash was the long lost son of the grieving talk show host.
306: Just A Man
A prison inmate is up for parole for the third time, and for the third time the family of the man he murdered years ago shows up to make sure he will never get out. Shortly after the parole hearing, a riot breaks out in the high security prison. There is an internal gang war sparking the combustion, and the civilians are caught in the crossfire. A young woman and her very fragile mother are taken hostage by the very man that killed their loving father and husband. What they do not know is that he is really protecting them as part of tactical attempt to redeem himself.
307: Behind The Blue Line
One of the great landmarks of the city is about to be torn down and turned into condos. A sniper shooting takes place in the arena and the SRU is called in. It turns out that the shooter is an ex-military war veteran and is a trained marksman. Sam connects with the young veteran by talking to him about his own tour of duty in afghanistan, and what that does to any soldier's psyche. Everyone thinks Sam is making headway with the young man, but he tricks our group into believing he is giving himself up.
308: Unconditional Love
A young man appears to be the victim of a crime, and is thought to be taken hostage. The SRU team is brought in to find him after his captor carjacks a woman, whose baby is also in the car. They hide out in a hotel room while SRU tries to figure out how to burst into the room without hurting the baby. Jules investigates the boy's life, and finds that he is a deeply disturbed psychopath who has no empathy for other human beings. He is actually acting as if he was kidnapped, but quoting famous serial killers, he is planning his first kill.
309: The Good Citizen
The SRU are in search of a man who stopped two local drug dealers from vandalizing a local restaurant only to take their gun and hunt down them and other local drug dealers who he believes burnt down his family store and are the reason for his younger brother's death from an overdose. The mission is to track him down before he crosses the line between "good citizen" to vigilante killer. When Sam jumps off a command truck, it's unclear whether he has been felled by gunfire.
310: You Think You Know Someone
In a bad neighborhood, Parker is taken hostage by a group of meth dealers. What he does not know is that the leader of the gang is seeking revenge for the girl he loves. Haley, a young girl who was saved by Parker from a drug den when she was just a child, reaches out to him via text message, asking him to meet her. But we soon find out that it was not her that sent the text. Instead, it was her ex-boyfriend, the leader of the meth dealer ring. His plan is to kill Parker in front of Haley because he believes that Parker actually killed Haley's mother.
311: Severed Ties
Multiple child abductions lead the team to a distraught mother who will stop at nothing to put her family back together. The story opens with a young girl being kidnapped from a playground at a park. SRU is called in, and shortly thereafter, another kid, an older boy, is also abducted by the same person. They quickly figure out that this is woman who has kidnapped the two children. This woman is actually their birth mother, who has been in prison for all of their lives. She was told by the parole board that if she pulled herself together once she was out of prison, and she got clean and got a job, she would have a chance to get her kids back. She was so focused on this goal for so many years. When she finally did get out of jail, promises kept, she was told that she would never get her children back. The mother snaps, and takes them on her own. The team works to talk her down, and see reason.
312: Follow The Leader
Two brothers get caught up in a white supremacy group that is planning a terrorist attack on the city. Danny and his younger brother have been involved in a white hate group. Danny has started rethinking the group and the ideology. Furthermore, he has met a woman who is helping him to evolve in terms of his thinking. But unfortunately his brother Trent has become fully indoctrinated. At a meeting at the compound, Danny realizes that they are actually planning an attack on the city. He informs the police, and SRU is on the case. Once SRU breaks onto the compound, Trent and Danny are pulled into a full on fire fight. The fight leads us to a series of backpacks that are headed into the city to hit an immigration swearing in ceremony.
313: Whatever It Takes
A gang style beating of a star basketball player sends the SRU in all directions trying to get to the bottom of it. Matters escalate, when the young man threatens to jump from the top of the school roof. Parker gingerly tries to talk him down, while Jules and the team figure out that the basketball coach was hazing these kids relentlessly, and turning them on each other. The level of abuse was driving the kids to near madness. Luckily, Parker is able to talk the boy down, the coach is arrested, and the rest of the school faculty is held accountable for turning a blind eye.
314: The Other Lane
When our team is called in to investigate gunshots in a fancy neighborhood, they are confronted with a group of dangerous gun-runners, as well as Ed's brother, Roy Lane. Suspended from the force after the death of his partner, Roy has taken the law into his own hands in order to infiltrate the gang to avenge his partner's death. To make matters worse, Sophie and Clark announce they are moving out of Ed's home.
315: Jumping At Shadows
When a young girl is part of a witness protection program that is not able to really protect her or her family, the young girl reaches out to a 911 operator to be her confidant. When the situation turns violent, SRU is brought in to help. The young girl witnessed a murder several years ago, and her mother, father and she have been on the run ever since then. When the murderers come to her house, and shoot her mother, she is on the phone with Kate, the 911 operator. But then they cannot find the girl and her father, who are both very skilled at being on the run. In the end our heroes find the killers, and the mother survives.[Parker's son Dean shows up at work]."
316: Acceptable Risk
In the wake of a shooting spree, SRU's actions and judgments are put under a microscope. In an all flashback episode, we learn about how SRU took down a spree shooter at a gallery. An outside entity comes in to question the group one by one. She is focusing on Parker, as they have a shared past. Her partner was killed in a similar spree shooting and she never got over it. She has had it out for Parker ever since but it turns out that Parker was not at all to blame. In the mean time, the shooter at the gallery is targeting workers at a pharmaceutical company that gave her husband a bad drug which killed him and is seeking revenge for his death.
317: Collateral Damage
In a case of mistaken diagnosis, an innocent man is wrongfully charged with killing his own baby. The show starts with this man going off to prison. He is lucky enough to be part of a prison van break. He takes off, and heads right back to his wife to plead with her to help prove his innocence. She believes him, and stands by him. SRU is called in when he holds the medical examiner who declared him the murderer hostage at the morgue. Ed gets in the middle of the hostage situation, and tried to talk this man out of taking his own life when it seems that all is lost. After SRU successfully gets him to lay down his weapon and surrender, evidence pops up that shows that the medical examiner was jumping to conclusions. The baby actually had meningitis which is what took her life.
318: Thicker Than Blood
When a young couple's eleven year old son is near death due to his Leukemia, they take desperate measures to save his life by holding up a bank to get the money for a bone marrow transplant. The young couple has tried to get the real father of the boy to donate his blood for the boy -- but he refuses, because he has his own family. The young couple then thinks that if they find money to pay this man, he will relent. But when that doesn't work either, they end up taking him hostage.[Jules tries to comfort Ed as he stares of pictures of his estranged family, including the sonogram of a child to come].
319: No Promises
When gunmen hold Team One at bay from a bus crash, Spike learns his Mentor Oliver may be connected. In a game of cat and mouse, SRU tracks a team of criminals who are working with Oliver. Parker and the team believe that this rogue cop is part of the bus crash caper, but Spike insists that he must be involved for other reasons. The team gets called in to assist at the crash site when shooting breaks out. They investigate, and track the bus driver back to a drug ring. Spike's old mentor turns out to be protecting his family.
320: Terror
While on a date, Jules and paramedic Steve discover a hostage situation in progress at a neighborhood restaurant. SRU is called in, and work to take down the gunman as Jules and Steve remain inside the restaurant trying to diffuse the situation. They discover the shooter (Davis) is a paranoid schizophrenic and believes a terrorist owns the restaurant. Originally thinking he was acting on his own, the team eventually discovers that it is Davis' social worker who has brainwashed him into killing the alleged terrorists. Steve is shot in the melee. Jules and the wounded Steve, who have known each other since college, break up at the hospital.[Steve also appears in episodes 303 and 304].
321: I'd Do Anything
Team One is called in to raid a nightclub in order to take down a crime boss and his organization. During the raid, things go wrong and the bad guy (Carson) gets away and takes his girlfriend (Jackie) with him. Jackie is also SRU's criminal informant, so the team must find the two of them before Carson discovers what Jackie has done and kills her even though he is clearly in love with her.
322: Fault Lines
It's time for the team's yearly review, both physically & mentally they will be put to the test. Things take an unexpected turn when an outsider, Dr.Toth (Victor Garber), is brought in to do the psych testing. Fearing one of them will be let go from the team, our guys start to turn on each other and secrets are revealed. And just when the day couldn't get any stranger, Sophie goes into labor and Ed is shot on the way to the hospital. Continued in 401.

Sleeping sickness is infection with germs carried by certain flies. It results in swelling of the brain.
Human African trypanosomiasis
Sleeping sickness is caused by two germs (protozoa), Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosomoa brucei gambiense. The more severe form of the illness is caused by T. b. rhodesiense.
Tsetse flies carry the infection. When an infected fly bites you, the infection spreads through your blood.
Risk factors include living in parts of Africa where the disease is found and being bitten by tsetse flies. The disease does not occur in the United States. But travelers who have visited or lived in Africa can have the infection.
General symptoms include:
A physical exam may show signs of inflammation of the brain and its covering, the meninges (meningoencephalitis).
Tests include the following:
Most antibody and antigen tests are not helpful because they cannot tell the difference between current and past infection. Specific IgM levels in the cerebrospinal fluid may be more helpful.
Medicines used to treat this disorder include:
Without treatment, death can occur within 6 months from cardiac failure or from T. b. rhodesiense infection itself. T. b. gambiense infection causes the classic sleeping sickness disease and gets worse more quickly, often over a few weeks. Either disease needs to be treated immediately.
Complications include:
See your health care provider right away if you have symptoms. It is important to begin treatment as soon as possible.
Pentamidine injections protect against T. b. gambiense. But not against T. b. rhodesiense. Because this medicine is toxic, using it for prevention is not recommended.
Insect control measures can help prevent the spread of sleeping sickness in high-risk areas.

Never Judge a Book by Its Cover
SCE FCU member, Lourdes, took delivery of a brand new 2011 Chrysler 200S!
Lourdes and her mother came into our Irwindale branch looking to get an auto loan. Lourdes' mom was quite upset with the treatment her daughter had received from a dealership. She said, "They laughed at Lourdes. Didn't pay any attention to her because they thought she couldnt afford the vehicle." Boy were they wrong! Lourdes had actually been planning to buy the vehicle for some time and could, in fact, afford to purchase it. She even saved up a significant down payment.
CU at the Wheel to the rescue! We made a phone call, secured the exact vehicle Lourdes wanted and had it delivered to her the next day. Lourdes was very happy... and so was her mom.
Here's what Lourdes had to say about her experience:
"Thank you so much for getting me my first new car. You treated me with respect, enthusiasm and fantastic service. I felt so discriminated and humiliated by the dealership I first went to because they thought I couldn't afford the car I wanted. Luckily, my mom is a credit union member and she told me not to worry, that SCE FCU would take good care of us. I will never buy another car any other way. Thank you SCE FCU!"

Room to Read | World Change Starts with Educated Children
Located in Sub-Saharan Africa, Zambia has a history that dates back as far as two million years. Today, Zambia is most renowned for being home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world—the mighty Victoria Falls (known to Zambians as Musi-o-Tunyi).
In addition to its natural beauty, Zambia is also a rich source of precious metals and other resources—45% of all fresh water in Southern Africa is on Zambian soil. Despite its wealth of resources, Zambia has faced many development challenges over the years, including limited investment capital, a legacy of authoritarian leadership, poor infrastructure, economic corruption and one of Africa's highest HIV infection rates.
Historically, Zambia has known more peace than many of its eight African neighbors who have suffered from ethnic, religious and political conflict. It did, however, suffer greatly from the crash of the world's copper market in 1975, having been the world's third largest copper producer when it became an independent republic in the 1960's. Subsequent political corruption and mismanagement have now landed Zambia on the list of the world's poorest countries—with 78% of rural Zambians living in poverty.
Disease is one of Zambia's greatest challenges and a constant threat to development—particularly HIV/AIDS and malaria. Approximately, 14% of adults in Zambia are infected with HIV and more than 20% of Zambian children have lost one or both parents to the epidemic.
Because more than half of Zambians are 16 years old or younger, the country's educational system is extremely overburdened, making allocation of resources a serious challenge. Lack of infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and resource imbalances between rural and urban schools are consistent challenges, and as a result nearly 260,000 children ages 7-13 are not enrolled in school.
Literacy rates in the country have slightly improved over the past 20 years, but the gender gap is wide—with only 64% of Zambian women able to read and write.
In 1996, the Zambian government made a commitment to improving access to education, which included the establishment of educational goals and the elimination of school fees for grades one through seven. Though the commitment was a step in the right direction, there is still a long way to go in Zambia before quality education can become a reality for all children.
Room to Read Zambia was founded in 2007, with an initial focus on improving infrastructure and access to resources through our School Library program. We have since begun to address quality of materials and instruction through our Book Publishing and Reading & Writing Instruction programs.
To address Zambia's wide gender gap in education, we introduced our Girls' Education program, with particular focus on the acquisition of life skills among secondary school girls.

"My favourite part of my job is seeing Grade 1 students sound their letters aloud and read for the first time," she says. "They strive and struggle to read anything—be it on the blackboard, a plastic bag or the side of a truck; it makes me cry tears of joy every single time."

State police investigate dog shooting near Albion
State police are looking into a report of a 7-month-old dog being shot in Conneaut Township.
Police said the dog, a German shepherd, wandered onto a property at 9959 Barney Road at about 1 p.m. on Friday. The owner of that property, who owns livestock, assumed the animal was a coyote or wild dog and shot it when it started running toward him, police said.
The incident was reported by the dog's owner, Dennis J. Haffley, 21, whom police described as the man's neighbor.
The initial shot severely injured the dog but did not kill it, police said. They said Haffley asked the man to shoot it a second time to end its suffering.
Police said they are discussing the possibility of animal cruelty charges from the incident and whether Haffley could be cited for not having his dog on a leash.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Bill Belton didn't appear to be bothered by his ankle injury any longer as he enjoyed the best game of his career Saturday night.
Belton eclipsed his previous career high of 65 yards in the first half alone, gaining 68 yards on only eight carries. He finished with 103 yards and three TD runs - 11, 5 and 3 yards - on just 16 carries (6.4 per attempt).
"It's definitely right back to where I was," Belton said of his left ankle.
Belton broke off a 23-yard run to help set up Penn State's first touchdown, and throughout the evening he looked quicker and more elusive than he had earlier in the season.
"Yes sir," he said when asked if he felt back to normal.
"The line did an incredible job today," Belton said. "They just went out there and basically had a great game up front and got after it and was very aggressive up front."
Iowa was expected to offer Penn State a big challenge physically, but the Nittany Lions easily won the battles in the trenches.
"Just going into the game we wanted to be very aggressive up front, and the line did a great job. All the praise goes to them," Belton said. "They just opened up holes for me, and I just followed their blocking, followed their lead."
Balanced attack
The Lions ran for 215 yards - Zach Zwinak added 52 on 16 carries - threw for 289 and piled up 504 yards of total offense. Much of that had to do with the NASCAR attack.
"When you go fast tempo, it's not conditioning, it's just a matter of communication and getting lined up," Bill O'Brien said.
O'Brien was asked if it was Matt McGloin's best game and said, "He played well."
"I have to go back and watch the tape," the coach added. "I think he played a good game, and I think you have to give him a lot of credit. Through seven games, this guy has been prepared. When a guy is in his fifth year, he grows up and understands he only has a few shots left at Penn State. He's done a really nice job. I'm proud of him."
Iowa endures rough night
Kinnick Stadium usually is a tough place to play, but it was tough for the home team Saturday as the crowd began booing the Hawkeyes in the second quarter after PSU took a 24-0 lead. Iowa was shut out in the first half at home for the first time since a 2006 loss to Northwestern.
"Needless to say we're really disappointed with our performance tonight," Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said. "We had a great crowd out there, great environment, and we just couldn't get anything going offensively, defensively, special teams."
The Hawkeyes finished with only 209 yards of offense, just 20 on the ground on 23 carries.
Iowa place-kicker Mike Meyer had made 13 consecutive field goals, but he missed from 49 yards (wide left) in the first quarter and then from 37 yards (wide right) in the second.
The Hawkeyes also had two offensive linemen go down with injuries on the same series. Left tackle Brandon Scherff suffered what appeared to be a serious right leg injury late in the first quarter and was carted off the field. Two plays later, guard Andrew Donnal was helped off the field after suffering a right ankle injury."
O'Brien stays aggressive
O'Brien shows no fear on fourth down, and he even decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 36 with a 31-0 lead in the third quarter. McGloin was stopped short on a keeper, the first time he's failed to get the required distance after converting his first 14 chances this season.
Iowa took over on downs at the PSU 36 and, with the help of a 15-yard pass interference penalty on Stephon Morris in the end zone - on a pass that appeared to be uncatchable - the Hawkeyes got down to the 3-yard line.
Penn State's defense held, though, as Adrian Amos broke up a pass to Keenan Davis in the end zone on fourth-and-goal at the 3.
Ficken's interesting game
Sam Ficken gained some confidence by drilling a 34-yard field goal midway through the second quarter, giving PSU a 17-0 lead. Ficken's confidence probably took a hit, however, early in the fourth quarter.
O'Brien initially planned to go for it on fourth-and-7 from the Iowa 27, but after a timeout, he let Ficken try a 44-yarder. Ficken missed badly, shanking a low line drive that only made it to about the 10-yard line. He's now 4-of-11 on the season.
Local flavor
Iowa is known for its farming, and the biggest theme at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday was the ode to ANF, which stands for America Needs Farmers.
There are several signs on the concourse with former Hawkeye players, such as Dallas Clark, discussing how important farming is, plus the band spelled out ANF on the field before the game. Also, small, yellow, Terrible Towel-like flags were handed out to all fans.
Altoona connection
Some fans at Kinnick Stadium had their seats upgraded during a game promotion, and those fans were from Altoona. That's Altoona, Iowa, which is about 100 miles of Iowa City and has a population of about 15,000.
Bench stays on bench
Despite a 38-7 lead in the fourth quarter, Bill O'Brien did not turn to backup quarterback Steven Bench, a true freshman, and allowed Matt McGloin to handle the last three series.
When questioned about it afterward, O'Brien said, "I just didn't feel great about where we were in the game at that point. I thought it was still Matt's game."
It's not the first time O'Brien has passed on giving his true freshman from Georgia a few snaps with a big fourth-quarter lead.
Bench played in the Lions' second game at Virginia after McGloin was injured.
Praying for Paige
Penn State cheerleading coach Curtis White said he and the squad remain hopeful that cheerleader Paige Raque will make a full recovery.
The cheerleaders rotate for road games. Raque was on the trip to Illinois but was not scheduled for Saturday's game at Iowa.
She remains hospitalized at Altoona Regional Health System after falling out of a fifth-floor window in State College on Oct. 6.
"It's still early and we're taking it day-by-day, but we're very positive about her recovery," White said.
