When a surfer is within the tube section of a breaking wave, so far within that they are unlikely to make it out because they are very deep within the tube of the breaking wave.

I have a worrying problem transferring files. The probability of
transferring a 15MB file successfully is about 50%. In each failed transfer
the correct number of bytes are received, but one or more are wrong. The
thing that worries me is that no error is reported, either by the command
(ie ftp, rcp, or rdist) or by the network adapter (eg netstat -i ro ip -s -s
link ls eth0).
This problem exists when copying files between Linux machines (Red Hat 8 on
Acer 4100) or between IBM machines (AIX 4.3.3 on p-Series).
The common issue seems to be that the network includes a 3Com Switches
(Super Stack 2 model 3300) which have worked fine for years but now are
corrupting the data.
It surprises me that I can transfer a 15MB file apparently with success but
that the resultant file contains a corruption. Surely the transport layer
should catch this problem and request the data to be sent again?
Can anyone explain how this might occur?

Web personalities have presence. Forget all the stuff you read about the internet deadening the social instinct. It's rubbish. Marshall McLuhan was right, the internet is simply a gigantic extension of our nervous system. "Can you feel me now? Hi, nice to meet you!"
When it comes to Nightcharm's new editor, Mark Adnum, well — his is a big presence. We've never met in person but for years — through email, Facebook and following his online ventures, I've experienced Mark's presence, his distinct facets: Charismatic. Funny. Inquisitive. Smart.
He's also steeped in a gay mindset that's refreshingly anachronistic. Of another time. Which is to say, very different from the commodified gay male matrix we witness today. There's nothing wrong with that world (if you like that sort of thing) but the same ole sameness gets boring. Mark is like an unruly antidote, sharp-edged and a bit subversive. Maybe it's his Australian heritage; after all, the continent started out as a penal colony. Sometimes crime does pay.
I've tracked Mark's online enterprises for years. Especially his cinemaphile-infused site Outrate, and his homo-confessional The Wishing Well (where men let it all hang out about their fantasy obsessions or fatal mistakes — broken condoms or hearts).
As a fellow publisher I've appreciated his efforts to keep creating in an economy of diminishing returns. 15 years on and many of us struggle to stay lucrative online. And I've also envied his perspicacity and successes, like the time he landed an ace interview with my favorite social critic Camille Paglia. The bastard!
So, no more preamble, let's get to the yakking:
David K.: I've always loved your work on Outrate, and you're the perfect guy to move into the editor's chair at Nightcharm. What are your plans for the site?
Mark Adnum: I'd like to build on John Calendo's legacy of observing the porn in pop culture and vice versa. I also loved how Shawn Baker's encyclopaedic passion for gay porn covered everything except the actual porn. So in a way it'll be more of the same, but with a heavy emphasis on the more.
I'm not American and I grew up in the 80s, so I bring a bunch of influences and interests that haven't really been major threads on Nightcharm before. I want to introduce more sporno, more forgotten icons, more hotties you've never heard of. Readers needn't worry about their regular trickle of smut, however, as I'll be turning those taps onto full as well.
DK: So, I'm sorry, but you're such a stud and I've gotta know — are you cut or uncut?
MA: Cut. And he did a really good job too.
DK: How do you see the role of porn in your sex life? I mean, is your preference for actual sex or for porn?
MA: Definitely porn. I was born and raised in a coal mining town four hours drive northwest from Sydney, so I cut my teeth (at least in my imagination) on the beefy blue collar blokes that surrounded me. I've never outgrown my tastes or fantasies since about age 16, and finding sex that tunes into that area for me is (almost) impossible.
DK: Well, that's turning me on. Say more please!
MA: These are men that rarely shave — their face or any part of their body — and they slouch around in their work shorts and boots at the pub after a day of manual labour looking like they could really go a quick blowjob. They rarely shower either and if they do it's only after their (lucky) wives or girlfriends have refused to give them head until they do. There's an organic sexiness to them that you can really feel, especially when you have one of their dicks in your mouth and they're calling you a cocksucking slut or, alternatively, when they cruise past you in their pickups, shirtless after another summer's day fixing things by using tools.
DK: OK, so my monitor just melted! Should I press you for more, Mr. Editor?
MA: If you like, but you'll probably get nowhere. I'm almost always more interested in thinking and talking about sex than I am in actually having any.
DK: Wow, that's a buzz-kill. How do you mean?
MA: Well, let me give you an example. I was fooling around with this really hot guy once and he said that he had a harness. He got it out and started putting it on and I said "Oh, it's kind of like putting on a bra, isn't it?" I thought the comparison was really interesting but of course the night was ruined for everyone. Another time a guy put on some "raw" porn and I couldn't really get into it because I'd just finished reading Tim Dean's Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking and so my head was full of that. To ensure the mood was completely ruined, I launched into a verbal review of the book just as he was trying to kick start some action.
I'm just hopeless, honestly, and please let me take this opportunity to apologize to all the poor men who've had the misfortune to have attempted sex with me.
All of which is to say, the answer to your question is: Porn, definitely. And daily.
DK: I hear you're an utterly devoted Barbra Streisand fan.
MA: You hear correctly. I'm so excited about Release Me, her new album of previously unreleased material drawn from her five-decade career as the world's most popular entertainer. I wish she hadn't chosen to tour again, though. The last ten years have not been kind to her voice, with both her liquid diamond upper register and her supersonic engine power both well and truly gone. Delivering most of her great standards in the spine-tingling fashion she's made us all come to expect is no longer possible, not live anyway. The happy days where she could blow the roof off Madison Square Garden with the climactic notes of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever will never be here again.
DK: So it's your basic Gay Diva Worship 101. But why Streisand for you?
MA: I'm very introverted and quite narcissistic so Barbra — who lives alone on Planet Streisand — is my Patron Saint. I think too that her comprehensive duality – she's dainty but ballsy, omnipotent but insecure, beautiful but unattractive and so on — really appeals to people like me who always seem to be at sixes and sevens with themselves. She's us, refracted in majestic superstar form.
DK: That's an incredibly detailed observation, it makes me wonder if you do relate to many contemporary gay men?
MA: No, and I never have. I watch The Boys In the Band and think "these are my people" and then I go out into the gay world and everyone seems to be mouthing these mantras about same sex marriage or "woofing" at each other and I just feel like a complete alien. Hence, I spend a lot of time at home or at the cinema. However, I know The Boys In the Band by heart.
DK: It sounds like you don't speak their language.
MA: I refuse to speak the contemporary vernacular and I can't stand listening to it either. When I hear "power top" I just think of a sunroof, and "pig bottom" sounds like something from a George Orwell novel. I wonder if anyone still wears hankies? That was such a classier way of getting your sexual preferences across in shorthand. I have a light blue one, which I could wear on either side, depending on my mood and the other guy's build.
DK: You're taking me back in time 25 years or more — a time when AIDS was so much more present.
MA: Was? Please. HIV/AIDS is only more turbulent and omnipresent today than it ever was. It's like the pharmaceutical innovations of the mid 90s changed everything and changed nothing. A continuous feed of information and resources on HIV has been in place for more than a quarter of a century now, but to what effect? Many men — of either status and across all age groups — engage with all things HIV in a very inconsistent way. Conversely, many others don't seem to exhibit any real awareness of HIV at all. It's such a frozen and surreal atmosphere, and I suspect a form of Stockholm Syndrome is at work.
DK: I suspect you may be right. What would you say to, say, a young 18 year old gay male just making his way into the world?
MA: I'm certainly not in a position to tell anyone what to do. And anyway, the distance between what gay guys say and what we do can barely be measured in light years, and I don't exclude myself from that. I guess what I would I suggest is that history is fun, if only because it has things like Valley of the Dolls, early Falcon porn, and now, sadly, Gore Vidal in it.

To the Editor:—
In The Journal, June 16, page 539, Dr. Theodore Curphey criticized Montgomery County's method of supplying medical laboratory service to the public. His main objections were that: 1. If put into practice throughout the state and in other states, the system would "seriously jeopardize the healthy and natural development that laboratory medicine is now enjoying." 2. It would "limit the freedom of choice of the younger pathologist and would tend to force him into seeking state laboratory appointments." 3. It would "place at a serious economic disadvantage those private pathologists who work in proprietary hospitals or have laboratories of their own and who engage in private practice." 4. "These two things would be serious deterrents to the entry into the specialty of pathology by younger men." 5. The public's appreciation of pathologic services would be weakened because it is free. 6. "It might be harmful also to

Winning. Since the Youngstown State University basketball teams have been in the Horizon League, it's been, except for a few fleeting moments and three playoff wins, a foreign concept.
The first few years, the men's teams had so many consecutive road losses that it seemed like the Penguins were going to set some kind of NCAA record for futility.
The last few seasons the men's team have changed that perception so much that sweeping a two-game set in Chicago was not only possible, but expected.
YSU (9-6, 1-1 Horizon League) began the league with a 65-60 setback last Wednesday at UIC (10-5, 1-1), which lost at to Cleveland State (9-7, 1-1) Monday, 60-50.
The Penguins rallied from almost 15 points down to beat Loyola (10-4, 1-1) on Saturday, 68-66.
"Like I said, I was disappointed we didn't finish that game (against UIC)," YSU coach Jerry Slocum said. "We had an opportunity to sweep Chicago, but a great comeback effort on Saturday."
The women's team is near the top of the Horizon League with a 10-3 mark, but have went 10-74 the past three seasons.
Coach Bob Boldon inherited a team that hit rock bottom - 0-30 during the 2009-10 season. His teams made steady progress each year, winning more each season - including in the league.
These Penguins lost some close games last year, dropping seven by five or fewer points.
"Last year was very frustrating for us, for the amount of close games we lost," Boldon said. "I think that set the tone for our kids in the summer. You start to understand if we did a couple of things better, if we could be better defensively, hold teams to a few less points per game. If we could be a little more efficient offensively and play with less turnovers, we'd have a chance to win a lot more of those games we lost last year."
Both teams have chances to make this a special season.
The men haven't been in this position since the 2000-01 season - YSU's last season in the Mid-Continent Conference (now Summit League) - when they went 19-11. YSU has built upon last year's 16-15 campaign where it beat Green Bay in the first round of the league tournament.
The women's best season was in the 1999-2000 campaign when the Penguins went 22-9 and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Penn State. Since then, YSU has yet to break .500 - a shell of that team which was dominant during the 1990s - making three NCAA appearances.
The main catalyst behind the YSU women's success is senior forward Brandi Brown, who was asked if this recent success has made the Penguins into a basketball school.
"We're focused on winning games," she said. "We still have to win more games. We still have to win conference games. What we've done in our preseason is important, but not as important as what we plan on doing in the postseason. I think for us to be considered a basketball school, we need to go far in the playoffs, win championships and things like that."
If both teams can maintain this success the next couple of years, that can become a reality.

WASHINGTON - Today a special U.N. summit convenes in Italy to decide just what can be done to stop the rapid increase in the price of food.
Should crops like corn be used for food - or fuel? The debate comes as prices have gone up 83 percent in the last three years.
An Uneasy Meeting of the Minds
Beyond agreeing on the need to combat the global food crisis, consensus at the food summit has not come easy. Click play to get Pat Robertson's analysis following CBN News Correspondent John Jessup's report.
With protests and riots over food shortages and price increases, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon is urging the world to boost food production by 50 percent over the next 20 years.
"This is a fight we cannot afford to lose. The enemy is hunger. Hunger degrades everything we have been fighting for in recent years and decades," Ban said.
But that's easier said than done, especially when it comes to identifying the cause of the problem.
Is the Biofuel Craze to Blame?
Critics quickly turned their focus on the use of biofuels like ethanol, arguing the rush to use alternative sources of energy has caused a shortage of food.
The U.S. defends its use of corn-based ethanol, insisting that the impact on price spikes is only between 2-3 percent.
But analysts say there are other factors too, including rising fuel costs, price speculation in the markets, and recent droughts and floods which cut back on the production of food- and made it more expensive.
Meanwhile, here in America, people are complaining about the food crisis as well: from price spikes on everything from milk, eggs and bread - to a rising demand at food banks.
Program directors for meals on wheels say they're seeing a sharp increase in the number of seniors applying for assistance.
"With the food going up like it is, a lot of our seniors are not eating food as they should. They're getting medicine. They're taking medicine with it," the Senior Center's Gail Adams said.
What the Fed Has to Say
Despite worry over the rising costs of commodities like food and oil, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke doubts that the country is in for a repeat of a 1970s-style inflation.
"Then as now, we were facing a serious oil price shock, sharply rising prices for food and other commodities and sub-par today's situation differs from that of 33 years ago, in large part because our economy and society have become much more flexible," Bernanke said.
The problem is, a growing number of Americans feel they don't have much financial flexibility when it comes to paying for today's increased cost of living.

Delivering on climate pledge
President Obama's inaugural address pledge to "respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations" ("Environmentalists hail Obama climate change focus," Jan. 22), was a clear sign that he understands the urgency of addressing this problem. Now we're counting on him to follow up those words with action.
We know what we need to do in Pennsylvania and nationwide to tackle global warming: clean up the largest sources of the carbon pollution fueling the problem. And with the president's leadership, we can make that happen. Right now, Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency are developing the first-ever carbon pollution limits for new power plants - a truly historic step toward cleaning up the single biggest source of carbon pollution.

Qualifying Location Privacy
With the term paper about k-Anonymity I already covered some method to quantify privacy in relational databases and pointed out that it becomes much harder to protect privacy with all the collection of data nowadays.Read itSlides
This term paper addresses how you can quantify privacy regarding your location. Since almost everyone has a smartphone and location aware apps are everywhere (e.g. Facebook Places or Google Latitude) location privacy becomes more and more important.
k-Anonymity and its influence on later research
While doing research for my bachelor thesis I already stumbled over Sweeney's "k-Anonymity"-paper. When I got the chance to dig further into this topic by participating in a seminar I seized the opportunity to do so. The best part is that I not only could engage in the whole "how to retain privacy"-discussion but also that I got an general overview why sometimes anonymous data is not as anonymous as you might think.Read itSlides
Re-identification is too easy, because a lot of the available information about a person is not considered personally identifiable information and is therefore not protected. But actually almost everything can help to identify a person.
Bachelor Thesis: Codename Hinky
The official name is "Schutz vertraulicher Daten vor dem Zugriff durch JavaScript des Dienstanbieters". The goal of the thesis was to figure out if it is possible to use a online service and not letting it examine the data you stored in its database. The problem is that you have to use the front end, which is provided by the service provider. Therefore it is insufficient to just store your data encrypted. The moment you decrypt the data the service provider can read it via JavaScript and the whole encryption was completely pointless.Read itSlides
To solve this problem I developed a Firefox add-on that lets you use the front end and prevents the database service from reading your data. The add-on prototype can be found in the "Software" section.
XML Encryption & CLV as a Web Service
This paper was part of a interdisciplinary seminar. Studentds from the field of economics and computer science attempt to find a solution for a dynamic price system, which incorporates statistical and background data from customers. My part was to implement the customer lifetime value (CLV). In our scenario this value was used as an estimated net present value. Meaning how much is the customer worth in Euro.Read itSlides
SWAT – Petri net editor & analysis framework
SWAT is a editor build on Eclipse RPC and GEF (which are both awesome frameworks btw). For now it is a very basic editor with the typical add, remove, move, etc. plus an interface to plug in your analysis algorithm. The latter was the main reason to build another Petri net editor. Since this project was part of my master program I alsmost stopped working on SWAT. But there will hopefully be some further courses, which will enhance SWAT.
Customer Value Evaluation (CuVE)
CuVE was created as part of a research project supported by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). Project partners included other Universities like TU Darmstadt and companies like SAP and Nokia Siemens Networks. The goal for the University of Freiburg was to develop a web services, which help online shops to calculate their product prices dependent on theur customers (e.g. former purchases, Schufa,…). I was responsible for the implementation of the web service (Java, Axis2) and also to create an exemplariy web application (PHP, HTML, JavaScript).
WordPress Plugin: WP MtG Helper
I started this project in Summer 2008 because I couldn't find a suitable method to link cards from Magic: the Gathering. Even most of the websites, which featured this game, used pop ups and similiar methods to display cards. You always had to click a link, if you wanted to see the card. I thought it would be neat if a mouseover would suffice. So I started to tinker around and learn to build an WordPress plugin. Over time I also added an easy way to display decklists and draft picks.DownloadGo toDemo
The plugin is still used with and without modifications (see picture below). I hope that this will not change so soon.
Design for WP Maintenance Mode
Frank Bülgte asked for templates for his WordPress plugin called WP Maintenance Mode. I sent him my design suggestion and he used it as one of the splash page layouts. Yeah! I also wrote a short tutorial on the design process (in German).

Springdale police detectives found 12-year-old Megan Anderson Monday in Bentonville. Police said she was not hurt.
On the morning of April 6, the girl's mother Melissa Anderson reported to police that her daughter, Megan, had run away from home.
Anderson told police Megan had left their home between midnight and 1 a.m. Megan had taken her father's cell phone, but left it on the tailgate of his truck.
Anderson believed someone had picked Megan up and that the girl was in contact with some boys, one of which was believed to be her boyfriend.

Dana (From Wikipedia)
(Pali, Sanskrit) is a Sanskrit and Pali term meaning "generosity" or "giving". In Buddhism, it also refers to the practice of cultivating generosity. Ultimately, the practice culminates in one of the Perfections (paramitas): the Perfection of Giving (dana-paramita). This can be characterized by unattached and unconditional generosity, giving and letting go.
Dana as a formal religious act is directed specifically to a monastic or spiritually-developed person. In Buddhist thought, it has the effect of purifying and transforming the mind of the giver.
Generosity developed through giving leads to being reborn in happy states and material wealth. Alternatively, lack of giving leads to unhappy states and poverty.
The exquisite paradox in Buddhism is that the more we give – and the more we give without seeking something in return – the wealthier (in the broadest sense of the word) we will become. By giving we destroy those acquisitive impulses that ultimately lead to further suffering.

Took this pack with me for a three-week trip across…
Took this pack with me for a three-week trip across Europe. It held up well and was more comfortable on the long hikes around the city. The only bad thing, it the removable pack is almost too small to really fit anything more than a light jacket in.

Seafoam in crankcase? Yay or nay?
I put this in another thread but figured it would get more attention on its own.
Ive got a can of this stuff sitting in the garage and might have some time this afternoon to do it. Majority of reviews I have read are very good but every now and again youll see someone say DO NOT put into your crankcase, dispite the instructions telling you to add 1/3 of it to the oil. Fuel is fine, intake is fine oil NO. Anyone care to comment on that? I got a new PCV and EGR valve to replace this weekend along with an oil change im going to do, should I just stick with doing those things and seafoam in the intake and fuel and leave it out of oil? I wanted to do the seafoam before I put the new PCV and EGR valves on. I dont want to screw anything up and have it clean the crankcase soooo good it starts leaking somewhere. I have an 04 5.7 hemi with 105k miles on it. Thanks

PONTIAC, MI -- State Rep. Tim Greimel (D-Auburn Hills) is calling on the state to rescind an order issued by former Pontiac Emergency Lou Schimmel on his last day in office.
Schimmel's order gave Pontiac's city administrator much of the decision-making power over city operations as it transitions back to local control under the watch of a state advisory board.
Gov. Rick Snyder appointed a transition advisory board last last month to help hand city government back over to elected officials as Schimmel stepped down, calling Pontiac's financial emergency "sufficiently addressed."
The city had been under emergency management since 2009.
Greimel in a letter to Snyder called one of Schimmel's final orders, issued Aug. 19 on his last day as emergency manager, a "massive overreach" that goes beyond a state appointee's authority under Michigan's financial emergency law, Public Act 436.
"The Act does not allow an emergency manager to create a 'city administrator' with virtually all of the duties and powers of the emergency manager," Greimel wrote.
View the full letter here.
The order made Pontiac's city administrator the "official and exclusive city representative before the (transition advisory) board, state departments and agencies, and the Michigan Legislature with assistance from the finance director and the mayor."
It gives the city administrator supervisory powers over all city departments and the authority to "approve all financial policies, city policies and procedures, job descriptions and personnel policies for the city, after consultation with the mayor and city council and subject to approval of the board."
View the full order here.
A message seeking comment was left for the governor's spokesperson.
(Update: Governor's office stands by order creating powerful position)
A judge last week reversed a separate move made by Schimmel while running the city.
Oakland County Circuit Judge Rae Lee Chabot granted a preliminary injunction undoing a pension board reorganization that reduced the number of trustees of the General Employees Retirement System from 11 to five.
Chabot said the move made Pontiac's emergency management look "like a dictatorship," according to an Oakland Press report.

The Motley Fool's industrial analyst, Isaac Pino, recently attended The Atlantic magazine's Manufacturing Summit for insight into the industry and visited General Electric's (NYSE: GE ) 30 Rockefeller offices for a closer look at the $250 billion conglomerate. Isaac and Motley Fool Money host Chris Hill weigh in on the company's transformation over the past few years, its game-changing investments in 3-D printing and the industrial Internet, and the opportunity ahead for GE shareholders.
In the following segment, Isaac answers whether he's bullish on 3-D printing stocks as an investor. He tells us that while the industry itself is fascinating and sure to produce some incredibly creative innovations over the next decade or so, picking one company that's going to emerge as the clear winner from this nascent industry is going to be difficult at this stage.
3D Systems, one of the 3-D printing companies discussed in the video, is at the leading edge of a disruptive technological revolution, with the broadest portfolio of 3-D printers in the industry. However, despite years of earnings growth, 3D Systems' share price has risen even faster, and today the company sports a dizzying valuation. To help investors decide whether the future of additive manufacturing is bright enough to justify the lofty price tag on the company's shares, The Motley Fool has compiled a premium research report on whether 3D Systems is a buy right now. In our report, we take a close look at 3D Systems' opportunities, risks, and critical factors for growth.

Seriously, stop that now. Pc games aren't perfect when they first come out, and nintendo are more than likely dealing with it, its probably something to do with a massive rush of hundreds of thousands of people coming online. Return it if you really want to, i'm sure no one else cares, you'll just be giving the game to someone who will appreciate it and not scream and throw their toys out of their pram when something doesn't work immediately.

I followed Mayor Jack Ellis around a bit last week for this story on the end of his tenure.
He's just quotable as hell, and this is some of the stuff I had to leave out, but that I thought was worth reading. The first part takes place as we were walking out of an elementary school where he had been speaking to children.
You can say a lot about Jack Ellis, and people have. But one thing you can't say is that he doesn't care.
What was your life like when you were in the 1st and 2nd grade?
It was exciting, because I've always liked to learn. And I remember the excitement of going to school... because I was a farmer's son we couldn't go to school. We had to stay out and...
He trails off. Something comes over his eyes. He sighs a bit and sniffs. A school official thanks him for coming and he says goodbye and thank you. He continues, but he does not return to that farmland.
These kids. If they only knew the kind of world that they're going to. It's kind of hard for them to visualize it now. But the kind of world that they're going to encounter. We just owe them the very best that we can give them.
They have so much potential. But my question is always: What happens to them between now and when they finally get into some of the things that's happening in this community. Murdering. Going to jail. Dropping out of school. Where do we go wrong as adults?
I went to an all black school because we were segregated by law in those days. These kids are in an all black school and it's not segregated by law. I don't know, good bad, indifferent. I think these kids are learning. ... I just think kids should be taught.
Is this an emotional week for you?
Well, it hasn't been until just - these children. ... I became emotional in there with these children because I saw myself sitting on that floor.
Then to L.H. Williams. Then quickly back to City Hall, where the mayor greeted members of a Warner Robins church choir that wanted to put on a Christmas concert at City Hall after Ellis invited Muslim leaders to pray there during Ramadan.
Ellis, once a Christian and now converted to Islam, welcomed the group, then headed to his office as the choir broke into religious Christmas songs. In another city, with another mayor, all of that might have seemed odd.
I think it's very fitting to come in a government building - we live in a country where all religions can come here. The Muslims were here. I hope the Jews will come and celebrate Hannukah. We're not saying that we endorse any particular religion over another, but it just should be open.
Have you felt any backlash from Christians or Christian groups since you converted to Islam?
I don't think backlash from any groups. I think it's been more individuals than anything. The Baptist preachers in this town were great supporters of mine. Baptist and Methodist. The Christian ministers period. ... But have I recieved some deragatory letters or emails from people who claimed they were Christians? I have. I have to question how much Christians they really are.
(This last bit was after he spoke to some parks and recreation employees Thursday morning. The sun was finally up, and it was a question I'd come up with the night before.)
You're leaving, and Reichert's coming in. But who's the new guard and who's the old guard in that?
That's a good question, isn't it? Some people, it depends on who you ask, I guess. I happen to have a lot of respect for Robert Reichert. If I didn't, I wouldn't have hired him on several occassions to help me through some complicated and complex issues, legal issues. A lot of people say he's 'back to the future' and so forth. I want to give him every benefit of the doubt.
... He's my mayor now and I will support him 100 percent. But, you know, like they did me, when they thought I was wrong, they called it to my attention. I won't be publicly - I would never publicly criticize him. Never, ever. But, if I have some issues, I'll call him.

By the 1920s and 30s, rodeos had become very popular nationwide and had advanced from mere feats of bronc-riding and calf-tying to include halftime entertainment shows. During this period, one of the most popular of the entertainers and "singing cowboys" on the rodeo circuit was "Powder River" Jack H. Lee and his wife, Kitty. Interestingly, they are mostly forgotten today and are seldom talked about, even by rodeo historians. There is a reason for this.
Very little is known of the background of Jack Lee, except that his real name was Jackson Martin. He claimed to have been born and raised on a Montana ranch, breaking horses and riding on cattle drives from the time he could walk. At his rodeo appearances, he would regale his audience with a story of how he and his wife Kitty had been childhood sweethearts in Montana, were separated by circumstances and then, by sheer happenstance, met again when they were adults at a chuck wagon on a cattle drive. Lee told the story, ending with their marriage, so flamboyantly that there wasn't a dry eye in the house by the time he finished.
For her part, "pretty Kitty Lee" (as Jack always introduced her) claimed to be a direct descendant of Andrew Jackson on her father's side and that she had once toured in Buffalo Bill's famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Wild West show – an unverifiable claim.
The few documented facts about the Lees belie these claims. Kitty Lee's death certificate, now public record, lists her birthplace as Beardstown, Illinois, not Montana. Furthermore, in my own research I discovered a surviving record showing that Jack and Kitty Lee played the Elks Opera House in Prescott on March 4-6, 1916 as a Hawaiian musical act – surely no real cowman would have done that!
In the 1920s, nostalgia for the 19th century West was growing with western movies and novels becoming extremely popular. During this period, many would-be singers and entertainers who had failed in other genres started putting on cowboy hats and fraudulently passing themselves off as western cowmen. Some did find success with their new identity and Jack Lee (who adopted the moniker of "Powder River" when he decided to change his image) was one of them. Kitty Lee learned a few trick-riding skills and soon both of them hit the rodeo circuit.
At rodeo halftime shows and state fair engagements, the Lees sang cowboy songs, recited cowboy poetry and told wild stories, many of which he claimed to have written himself. They were a hit and soon were touring the rodeo circuit nationwide, hobnobbing with such important people as Will Rogers, Tom Mix, William S. Hart and famed cowboy artist Charles M. Russell. "Powder River" Jack Lee started publishing books containing the songs, prose, poems and stories that were allegedly his own writings. He started recording his songs on phonograph records as well. He and Kitty even returned to the Elks Opera House with their new cowboy image on March 27-29, 1929.
Historically, "Powder River" Jack Lee is not well-remembered today because historians are almost unanimous that Lee plagiarized, or stole, much of his material. The most notable case was his recording of a song called, "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail", an opus about two drunken cowboys who encounter the Devil on a road, tie him up and brand him like a cow. Jack Lee took authorship credit in his songbooks and on the record labels but Arizona residents were quick to realize that the song was a slightly revamped version of "Sierry Petes," a famous poem written by Prescott's legendary pioneer, Gail Gardner. Lee had tweaked a few tiny things – in Gardner's original, the two cowboys were named Buster Jig and Sandy Bob, wherein Lee changed their names to Buster Giggs and Sagebrush Sam.
Gardner and the cowmen of Prescott were outraged by the theft. Stealing a cowman's song was almost as bad as stealing his horse! There is an enduring, but unverified, local legend that Gail Gardner and some other cowman collared Jack Lee at a Whiskey Row bar one night, tarred and feathered him and ran him out of town. If true, it did not faze him, as he continued to insist he wrote, "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail" until his death. Although some old-timers swore they heard Lee singing the song long before Gardner wrote his poem, it is certain that Gail Gardner is the author.
This leaves a question that lingers to this day. If "Powder River" Jack Lee stole this song, how much more did he steal from other unknown authors and pass off as his own? There are unconfirmed reports that, at his stage shows, Lee went so far as to claim he was the original author of the song, "Red River Valley" – certainly not true.
Lee's reputation as a musical thief dogged him long after his death. He is one of the few old cowboy singers whose recordings have never been re-issued in the CD era. His recording of "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail" has appeared on a small handful of anthology albums of old cowboy music, but most of his recordings (although they survive) have not seen the light of day in over 70 years.
"Powder River" Jack Lee was killed in a car accident in Chandler, Arizona in 1946. Soon after that, Kitty Lee entered the Pioneer Home in Prescott, blind and partially deaf, until her own death in 1955 at the age of 89. Both are interred at the City of Mesa Cemetery.

The first time I saw tattoo wedding rings was on this beautiful young woman I looked up to. Since then I have always thought that if I get married I would do something unique like matching tattoos for a wedding ring.
Another unique alternative to regular wedding rings or engagement rings is finger piercing. Finger piercings could be done for weddings or engagements.
There are so many different choices, whether you get a piece that is a brave twist on a traditional design, like this impressive one below in gold with a diamond, or it could be a nice simple barbell.
You could also get a ring that goes around your finger with the piercing through the bottom.
A microdermal piercing on the finger ring would also be nice. The gem looks like it's sitting on the skin. There's a flat metal bit under your skin that holds it there.
I think the bond that is created by going to share the exhilarating pain of a tattoo or piercing will be more of a bond than just shopping for a wedding ring.
The one thing to remember about a finger piercing is that this is a piercing that generally takes a really long time to heal (up to a year) and you have to be so, so careful not to catch it on anything like your clothes, doors, etc and since your hands are in contact with so many things that are covered in bacteria on a daily basis, you have to be extra careful to keep those hands clean all the time. Read more about cleaning your piercing.
Do you have a unique alternative for your wedding or engagement? Send your picture to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll add it to the list.
My question its with the gold one how was it done? There is three holes
So what happens if and when you get pregnant? Ur fingers will get swollen!!
i tattoo ive been working for a good while, im all for piercings and expression of the body, but i believe that in the case of marriage, i prefer a traditional wedding band , not a tattoo or piercing
My concern with this stuff is that the hands are high traffic areas, and very dirty, so theres always a chance of infection or migration and stuff. This is cute, sure, but theres risks involved, its not all rainbows and fluffy kittens with body mods. You have to be committed to keeping those things clean and healthy

13th Arts Graduate Students' Conference
3 - 5 March, 2004, University of British Columbia
"Mediations: Negotiating Cultural Landscapes"
Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 8, 2004.
We invite students of all arts and humanities programs to submit papers to this year's UBC Arts Graduate Students' Conference. Our title "Mediations: Negotiating Cultural Landscapes" opens itself to a variety of interpretations. Mediations shape positions in social and political structures. They take the form of translations between languages, genres, and cultures, and describe negotiations in contested spaces or at certain moments in history. "Mediations" can also refer to choices of media, methods, or strategies.
We encourage students of all levels to submit their work. Please send us a one-page abstract (max. 500 words) and a short biography (incl. your name, email, phone number, program, year of study, and research interests). We will grant the AGSC Award to the best abstract of a paper to be presented.

St. Michael, Minn., dad Peter uploaded this video of his 10-month-old Emma dancing to Flo Rida's omnipresent (in 2007) song "Low" to YouTube, showing that you're never too young to get down to Flo's timeless tale of Apple Bottom Jeans and boots with the fur.
"[Emma] is our third child and wonderfully happy," Peter told Storyful.com. "As compared to our other children, she sure is advancing fast," he adds, in what is either a standard statement of parental pride or some British-level dry wit.
This kind of behavior is cute, now, Peter, for sure – but if she does this sort of thing at the MTV Video Music Awards in a decade or two, you may wish you hadn't given her a taste of fame so early.

NEWTON (AP) - A Southeast Texas sheriff defends using tear gas to break up a birthday party attended by 200 blacks last week and says he's unconcerned that the group is threatening a lawsuit.
"I've eaten fat meat that worried me more than they do," Newton County sheriff Wayne Powell said.
Powell, who is white and has been sheriff for 19 years, told the Houston Chronicle his officers did nothing wrong in the June 17 incident at the American Legion Hall in Newton, 55 miles northeast of Beaumont.
"People wouldn't disperse," Powell said. "They were drinking and urinating in front of the officer."
His deputies first used loudspeakers to try to break up a party that had grown too noisy, Powell said.
The sheriff, who lives a block away, said he could hear the noise from the party and said he often receives complaints of loud music and noise coming from the hall.
A deputy threw a canister of tear gas on the metal roof of the hall in an attempt to break up a crowd that filled the building and spilled out into a parking lot, the sheriff said.
The tear gas canister rolled off the roof and exploded in a cloud of gas, blocking the only entrance to the hall.
Ernie Holmes, a former Pittsburgh Steeler who has retired to his hometown of Newton, is a leader of a group that is considering asking the state to investigate the incident. A lawsuit is also being considered, Holmes said.
Officers didn't warn the group they were going to use tear gas and didn't make medical assistance available, Holmes said.
The sheriff met with the group and told them they are welcome to sue.
"You can go over there to Jasper and get yourself a lawyer," Powell told them. "The town is full of them."
Brandi Gulley, who rented the facility to for her 18th birthday, said she was crushed by the crowd as they rushed to escape the building, fell and twisted her ankle. Gulley, who is seven months pregnant, said she fears the fall hurt her unborn child.
Deatrice Kyles, 22, said she saw the canister and thought it was fireworks, until she began to vomit. Others said it burned their eyes, caused allergic reactions, and made other medical conditions worse. Many were taken 15 miles away to the emergency room in Jasper, Holmes said.
Some in the group said they think the confrontation was intended to close down the only gathering place for blacks in Newton, a town of 1,900 people.
Legion post commander W.D. Smith said the state fire marshal's office inspected the building last week, in the wake of the disturbance. Inspectors told him the building should not be rented out again until fire extinguishers are provided, emergency lighting installed and more exits created, Smith said.
State officials also said no more than 60 people should be in the hall at once, Smith said.

From the series Stories of Service at the Digital Clubhouse, I found the story A Nisei's Fight for Freedom compelling and well told. It was produced and narrated by the subject of the story, a Japanese American named Rudy Tokiwa. In a scant 4:46 minutes, mostly against a simple piano background, Rudy tells the story of his life after Pearl Harbor, to the internment camp, volunteering for a segregated Japanese unit in the US military. The 442nd was ultimately the most highly decorated unit in US history, though the decorations were not all realized in a timely manner.
The format of the story is very simple and linear. The images move in a linear manner, closely matched to the details of the narrative. The style of the story is spare, yet smooth and powerful. There is nothing extraneous or gimmicky. Even the images are unvaried landscapes rather than close-ups or varied-angled shots. The power of the narrative to reveal its significance–heroism against a background of discrimination and mistrust–and takes its emotional impact from the direct way in which it is told. The digital storyteller did nothing to enhance the emotional impact. The voice of the narrator–the main character in the story himself–takes its power from its clarity, its maturity and unwavering tone.

CHARLES TOWN - Geary Johns recently announced his candidacy for the Charles Town City Council.
A resident of East Liberty Street, he is married to the former Kathleen Pyle Unger, a middle school teacher. Johns is the father of two sons, the stepfather of two adult children, and the grandfather of two boys.
Johns is a graduate of Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science degree. He also has a Master of Business Administration accounting degree from the University of Phoenix.
Johns has worked as a business manager and accountant for EDS, and subsequently Hewlett Packard after its purchase of EDS. He has worked for EDS/HP for 24 years and, prior to joining them, was a restaurant manager for Marriott.
Johns believes in intelligent, planned growth for the city, so that the city can increase its business tax base and in the process increase its revenue stream. By doing this, he believes that the personal tax base will be able to stay at its current level or, perhaps, one day even decrease.
"Believing in intelligent, planned growth, I will work in my position on the city council, along with other like-minded council members, to attract new businesses to our great city," Johns said. "By bringing in new businesses, we will be able to put more of our citizens to work and bring more needed revenue to our city coffers.
"As we all know, Maryland is opening new casinos to compete against Hollywood Casino at Charles Town," he added. "We will need to bring in more businesses so we can make up the revenue stream we will be losing by the decrease in visitors coming to our city and at Hollywood Casino, which gives a percentage of its revenue to the city, the county and the state."
According to a Washington Examiner report, it is estimated that nearly 30 to 37 percent of the revenue that is received at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town comes from Maryland players. It is estimated that approximately $200 million per year from Maryland players would be lost at the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town and thus, lower revenue payments to the state, county and city.
"I want you to know that I am not a politician, but a husband, a father, a grandfather, a brother and a neighbor who cares about this city and the people who live here," Johns said. "We have a majority of good city council members, but if you give me your vote and elect me to the city council, I will make our city council that much better and a more receptive place for your voice to be heard and a more desirable city for businesses to establish themselves.
"I understand how committees work, how decisions are made, and how to work with other committee members in reaching a consensus," he added. "For the last 24 years, I have worked on U.S. federal government contracts, so I also have an idea as to how the government works. I have managed people, I have created budgets, I have managed profit and loss statements, and I know how to achieve results, increase revenues, and control expenses, while working within a budget."
"I plan on doing the legwork necessary to win in May and, by meeting as many people as possible, listening to your concerns, and working with the council, to come up with solutions to address your concerns. I will work for every citizen of Charles Town, not just for certain areas or historic portions of the city," he said.

A light sheen has been spotted around a derelict 430-foot vessel that is aground on the northern bank of the Columbia River near Camas, the U.S. Coast Guard reported.
The United States Coast Guard sector Columbia River and the Washington State Department of Ecology both dispatched pollution response teams along with marine inspectors to determine the overall condition of the vessel.
A light and non-recoverable sheen was spotted near the ship. This will be cordoned off by boom, said Lt. j.g. Charles Taylor, a Coast Guard spokesman.
It was not immediately clear why the vessel had gone aground. Vancouver residents say the ship, the Davy Crockett, had been rusting in the same spot for years.
The Coast Guard opened an oil spill liability trust fund and took control of the response because the vessel's owner has failed to take act in a timely manner to address the potential risk of pollution, Taylor said.
Global Diving & Salvage was contracted to conduct an initial inspection and found a small amount of oil onboard. This will be removed, Taylor said.
The vessel is outside the shipping channel and does not pose a hazard to navigation.

The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for a
discussion of the nature and incidence of child murder throughout
history, as well as to gain an understanding of how attitudes towards
this subject have changed over time, both in terms of public opinion at
large and in terms of the opinions and belief-systems of the authorities of the day. Traditionally, conferences related to the subject of child murder have used a purely historical perspective to examine the subject.
This meeting, however, seeks to facilitate a more interdisciplinary
discussion using approaches including historical,legal, anthropological, sociological, visual, cultural, medical and psychological perspectives. By adopting this more eclectic approach, it is hoped that participants and delegates will come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the nuances surrounding the study of child murder. As well as encouraging a broader disciplinary awareness of the subject, the conference also hopes to look at child murder over a long chronology and a wide geography in order to reflect cultural differences in the act of child murder and attitudes towards its
perpetration across the globe, from the earliest times to the present
day. In this way, the conference hopes to bridge the boundaries of time, geography and discipline to identify new perspectives and new avenues for the study of this unique type of crime.

A determined soybean aphid natural predator from Asia is controlling soybean aphids in Canadian fields, and may expand its range into the northern tier of the Midwest. This Asian stingless wasp, Aphelinus certus, is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence and arrived in North America at the same time as soybean aphids or shortly after that.
Wade Kent is a researcher who put his money where his data is. When his research showed that narrow-row soybeans with normal inputs consistently produced the same results as 30-in. rows with the full dose of high-end inputs, he bought a narrow-row planter. "A narrow-row planter will give me a full canopy early and help maximize soybean yields."

Lettuce is for more than just salad to the students in the Greenhouse Class at Northern Burlington County Regional High School in Columbus.
Students are growing black-seeded Simpson lettuce in an exercise in hydroponics. The lettuce is nourished in a solution rather than in soil. Keith Dannucci, the agricultural science teacher who leads the class, said the students had already harvested one crop of lettuce. They took it home to their families, who ate it and pronounced it "delicious."
Another crop of lettuce will be harvested before the end of the school year, Dannucci said. The high school has a strong agricultural science and animal science program. Not only do students grow plants and flowers in the greenhouse, they tend to goats, chickens and rabbits.

One in three votes cast for President Karzai in Afghanistan's presidential elections were faked, with the official body overseeing the ballot condoning the massive fraud, EU election observers said today.
Around 1.1 million votes in favour of Mr Karzai met Afghanistan's electoral fraud criteria, as well as 300,000 cast for Abdullah Abdullah, Mr Karzai's main rival. A futher 100,000 suspect votes were cast for other candidates.
The EU team accused Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission of ignoring its own rules on identifying and eliminating suspect votes, and thus of sanctioning the fraud.
If the suspect votes had been excluded, Mr Karzai's

text: DATE=11/17/1999 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=PAK / ARRESTS (L-ONLY) (CQ) NUMBER=2-256269 BYLINE=AYAZ GUL DATELINE=ISLAMABAD CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Military authorities in Pakistan on Wednesday began arresting politicians and businessmen who have failed to repay large bank loans by the deadline (November 16) set by the country's military government. Those charged include two former Prime Ministers. As Ayaz Gul reports from the Pakistani capital, the military says the arrests are part of the new government's anti-corruption campaign. TEXT: The nation-wide crackdown on what the military government is calling "willful defaulters" began early Wednesday, just hours after the deadline set by the military expired. A statement issued by the military says authorities arrested 21 people Wednesday, including former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who "are either big loan defaulters or involved in corruption or corrupt practices." // OPT // Mr. Sharif was already in custody. He has been under detention since last month's military coup. // END OPT // In its statement, the military government describes former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who lives abroad, as "a proclaimed offender." She would be arrested if she re- entered Pakistani territory. After taking power last month, Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, ordered the repayment of overdue state bank loans by November 16th. In a nation-wide address, he pledged his anti-corruption drive would come down hard on those who defaulted on their loans. /// MUSHARRAF ACT /// As a last chance I urge all defaulters to come forth and settle their debts within a period of four weeks, after which their names will be published and the law will take its due course. /// END ACT /// Pakistan's financial institutions are owed billions of dollars in loans. For years, leading politicians and businessmen have borrowed money from banks with little or no collateral. Bankers estimated Wednesday that less than four percent of those billions of dollars of loans have been recovered so far. To provide legal backing for its crackdown on loan defaulters, the military regime has issued an order saying that corrupt practices, including willful defaults on loans, are punishable by up to 14 years in jail. A person convicted under the new law will be disqualified for 21 years from holding public office. Pakistan's military authorities have also stepped up security at airports to prevent loan defaulters from fleeing the country. An Islamabad-based political analyst, Syed Talat Hussain, says the corruption charges against Mr. Sharif and Mrs. Bhutto may be enough to end their political careers. /// HUSSAIN ACT /// By the framing of charges against Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto, the military regime seems to be ensuring that their political careers end here now. According to the constitution, any politician who is guilty of committing any wrongdoing can never run for any public office. /// END ACT /// In the past decade, every elected government in Pakistan has been dismissed on charges of corruption and misrule. Observers say one reason the military's crackdown is so popular among the people is that it is targeting political leaders who used their powers to enrich themselves and their families.

We used to have Grey Whales migrating up through the Irish Sea but they were hunted to extintion mostly in the bottleneck between Ireland and Scotland in the 16th/early 17th C. A local university had a plan to reintroduce them using whales taken from your population, how that would work I've no idea.

Dave - I definitely only snatched a few quick shots in case they didn't like me pointing my camera at their jets! As for the gray whales, I've never heard anything about a reintroduction project on the marine mammal scale! Sounds pretty crazy. I have no idea how that would work either.
Warren - The sea lion was definitely very relaxed! He just lifted his head to give us a lazy look before laying back down and looking like nothing more than a log.
Vickie - I'm always fascinated by such large animals feeding on such small ones, too. Amazing how nature "figures" things out!

Last Wednesday night (8/19/09) I was kayaking off Possession Beach in South Whidbey. I was surrounded by a large pod of whales gently surfacing and breathing, occasionally "fin-slapping" the surface of the glassy water! It was a moonless night, so it was hard to see much except for their backs and blowholes. One got within about 15 feet of my kayak! I don't know if these were gray whales or something else... any ideas?
- August 24, 2009 at 6:14 PM
- Monika said...
Leslie - It doesn't sound like gray whales if you saw a large pod, since they are usually solitary. Roughly how big were the animals? If they were smaller than your kayak, it sounds like it could have been a group of porpoise?

Hi, Monika - It was pitch black at around 10:30pm, no moon, so all we could see were their large backs and blowholes... no dorsal fins... some off in the distance were loudly slapping flippers on the water...

Author(s): Healey P
Abstract: is article reviews the influence of U.S. pragmatist philosophy on the development of theories about the nature, purpose, and method of planning. It outlines the key contributions of the pragmatist and "neo-pragmatist" philosophers and identifies the influence of pragmatism on early concepts of planning as a rational process; on the perspectives of Friedmann, Lindblom, and Schon; on the development of Forester's "critical pragmatism"; and on other planning theory contributions in the 1980s and 1990s. The article concludes by identifying the importance of pragmatist ideas in emphasizing the dimensions of planning as a practically situated, social learning activity, which should draw on the full range of human capacities and promote the ability for critical, transformative systemic framing work in the public sphere.
