The Lady Green Wave softball team defeated Spring Valley 2-1 Wednesday to claim the District VI championship for the Class AAAA playoffs.
The game was a defensive battle and contested until the final out, which came on a close call at first base with two Spring Valley runners on base. It was the second loss in a six-day span the Vikings suffered at the hands of the Green Wave, but Spring Valley played much better than it did in its playoff opener when Summerville won 12-2.
To be honest, I feel they wanted it a little more than our kids, Summerville coach Heather Tucker said. Im a little disappointed in how we played, but Im glad to have a win and to be able to advance.
Summerville (24-4) is now one of only four teams from the lower part of the state still alive in the playoffs. The Green Wave will host the winner of the Wando/Lexington game on Saturday.
Summer Jenkins went the distance in the circle for Summerville to pick up the pitching win. She allowed six hits, but only walked one batter while striking out seven. The Vikings only yielded five hits, but three of them came in the same inning.
Spring Valley pushed its run across in the second off a Summerville error, two groundouts and a single.
Summerville scored both of its runs in the bottom of the fourth. Jenkins led off and reached on an error. She moved around on a double by Taylor Belfiore and scored off a single by Dani Halajcsik. The Wave then loaded the bases with a walk by Taylor Knight and single by Hannah Horton. That brought Brittany Olean to the plate and she drove in Halajcsik with a sacrifice fly for the 2-1 margin.
Spring Valley, which beat South Florence to advance to the District VI finals, put a runner on base in both the fifth and sixth and put two runners on in the seventh but failed to push any across the plate.
Belfiore finished 2 for 3 at the plate to lead all batters.

Comments about New Jersey Devils Dual Hybrid 2-Piece iPhone 5 Cover:
I got this to replace my otterbox. While the otterbox is definitely rugged and protects my phone well, it adds a LOT of bulk, which I got tired of. I saw this while looking for something else, and decided to give it a try. It's a lot thinner, which I like. The rubber encases the phone pretty well; I tend to take good care of my phone, and I haven't dropped it yet, so I don't know how well it protects it from taking a beating. The back of the plastic piece (where the Devils logo is) is rubberized, so that's even more protection. Bottom line, if you subject your phone to nothing more than normal wear and tear, and are a Devils fan, it's a great case.

In the following video, Motley Fool financial analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson take a look at Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) over the course of the last 15 years and discuss why this bank lost money for investors who held it over that long-term period, even including dividends.
While Bank of America was not the worst-performing big bank over that time period, Matt highlights two big high-risk acquisitions the bank made, of Countrywide and Merrill Lynch, that brought the bank's performance down significantly over that period.
Despite these skeletons in Bank of America's past, the stock doubled in 2012. Is there more yet to come? With significant challenges still ahead, it's critical to have a solid understanding of this megabank before adding it to your portfolio. In The Motley Fool's premium research report on B of A, analysts Anand Chokkavelu, CFA, and Matt Koppenheffer, Financials bureau chief, lift the veil on the bank's operations, including detailing three reasons to buy and three reasons to sell.

Digital tools as strategies for architetctural design is a workshop I recently held in AIU - Arab International University in Damascus, together with Aref Maksoud.
The workshop is an exploration about different ways to generate architectural outcomes through the translation of information-based and information-driven morphogenetic processes via digital tools.
The students, working in groups, should create an architectural skin (an enveloping system with structural capacity, able to generate space and mediate environmental conditions via information processing) based on morphogenetic strategies, conditions and information extracted and translated from their investigations and experimentations.
Students are asked to design an architectural piece which primary function is light treatment, but also spatially able to choreograph human movement in terms of fluxes, play and effects, altering an existing place within the AIU (whether inside the building or outside in the garden). The focus of the project is on how light manipulation (how to treat it, how to play with it, how intense/intricate/dimmed/choreographic/theatrical/etc. they want it to be) in a spatial artifact can affect the perception and use of a known space.
The main objective is to extract the information from the research as an input in order to generate a new 3D spatial output, communicating the design process through the digital skills taught during the workshop.For further info and check all the final projects go here: http://ditsad.wordpress.com/

Syndicated (check local listings)
But here is an amateur show that's slicker, more packed with talent and more entertaining than the pros' shows above. Star Search visits more than 30 of its champs from the past in this two-hour alumni special. Sure, there's silliness. We hear Star Search spokesmodels list their commercials and guest gigs: "I did a segment of Runaway with the Rich and Famous." But we also see good performances by some of the real discoveries the series has made in its four years: Sam Harris, a better for all times; Sawyer Brown, a group with three albums; and comics Sinbad of The Redd Foxx Show and Rosie O'Donnell of Gimme a Break. Let's give these kids a hand, huh?

Pennsylvanians voted whether to retain seven statewide judges seeking additional terms, as well as judges in each county.
Some state activist groups urged voters to say "no" to all judges running for retention who did not return the 2005 pay raise, which motivated voters to oust some legislators in last year's election.
Kathy Forr did research on some of the judges before casting her vote at the Geeseytown Community Fire Company.
"A few I didn't vote on because I wasn't familiar with them," she said. "The pay raise was in my mind with some of the judges."
Forr used the Internet and looked through newspaper articles to gather information.
"Just listening to their commercials is not the way to go," she said.
When it came time to vote on Blair County Judge Jolene Kopriva, listed last on the ballot, Forr said, "it wasn't a question."
"I love the drug court she's put in," Forr said.
Some voters were confused by the large list of statewide judges, followed by the one local judge. Forr said she wondered where Kopriva's name was as she worked through the ballot.
"One lady said because of the way [the ballot] was, it would be the last time she votes," incumbent Frankstown Township supervisor James Grove said.
He said many elderly voters also still were confused about how to use the electronic voting machines.
Eric Feagley said he didn't hear the ads urging voters not to retain judges this year.
He didn't do much research before voting at DuBois Business College in Huntingdon.
"I'm pretty much Republican, so I vote straight ticket," he said.
Shauna Hess, who ran for Huntingdon County commissioner in the spring and lost, handed out literature about candidate R. Dean Fluke at the Oneida Township Municipal Building.
She said people either seemed to know nothing about the judges or had heard the advertisements.
"I haven't really heard anything except people are frustrated because they don't know anything about them," she said. "They want to know how they can find out."
Steve Harbaugh said he respects the judges and however they want to do things.
"They're the ones that rule [on] the laws and know what's going on," he said after voting in Oneida Township.

GTH lands in seventh heaven
Studio GTH's seventh-anniversary omnibus triptych "Rak 7 Pee Dee 7 Hon" ("Seven Something") quickly raked in Bt40 million in its first seven days in theatres.
Even compared to its blockbusters "ATM Er Rak Error" and "Laddaland", which earned better than Bt100 million each, that's a fantastic first week.
GTH president Visute Poolvaralaks is sure the final take will surpass Bt70 million, but it's already the studio's top-grossing film in the romantic-drama category.
"Seven Something" also marks the return of director Jira Malikool following his 2005 flop "Maha'lai Maung Rae" ("The Tin Mine"), which he joked got him "red-carded" from the business for a while.
Visute says the studio is attempting in the process to delve into other genres, regardless of the risk at the box office. "We started last year with 'Top Secret'," he says, referring to the hit biographical comedy-drama about youthful fried-seaweed snacks tycoon Aitthipat Kulapongvanich. "We'll keep doing it and prove that we can make more than romance, horror and comedy," he says.
They just need to keep rolling those sevens!
A bit itchy
Love, they say, knows no boundaries. But what's the deal with the photo making the rounds of famous transvestite comedian Natthee "Thong Thong" thiraseriwong and a young Army captain graduating from a prestigious Bangkok university?
Thong Thong appears to be merely congratulating the military lad, but showbiz reporters came up with the caption "Thong Thong unveils his special someone". Debate ensued in the online chat-rooms after some said the relationship was inappropriate.
Thong Thong has said the man is just "a close family member", but he's also said he's been over the moon since this man came into his life. He might want to clarify things just a little better.

The Israeli army says that two rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip just hours ahead of the expiration of the 72-hour ceasefire that ended a month of violence. The rockets fell into an open area in southern Israel and caused no casualties, the army said early Friday. There has been no immediate Israeli response. The rockets threaten to unleash a new round of violence after a month of fighting that has claimed nearly 1,900 Palestinian lives and 67 from Israel. Indirect talks between Israelis and Palestinians were taking place in Cairo to extend the cease-fire, but Hamas representatives had threatened to resume fighting if their demands to end the blockade on Gaza in place since 2007 were not met.

In packet-switched networks such as the Internet, a router is a device or, in some cases, software in a computer, that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination.
Download Our Guide to Unified Network Management
What does it really take to unify network management? In this guide, we examine today's unified network management tools, which vendors are doing what in the market, and what this means for you, the modern network manager.

The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to. A router is located at any gateway (where one network meets another), including each point-of-presence on the Internet. A router is often included as part of a network switch.
A router may create or maintain a table of the available routes and their conditions and use this information along with distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet. Typically, a packet may travel through a number of network points with routers before arriving at its destination. Routing is a function associated with the Network layer (layer 3) in the standard model of network programming, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. A layer-3 switch is a switch that can perform routing functions.
An edge router is a router that interfaces with an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. A brouter is a network bridge combined with a router.
For home and business computer users who have high-speed Internet connections such as cable, satellite, or DSL, a router can act as a hardware firewall. This is true even if the home or business has only one computer. Many engineers believe that the use of a router provides better protection against hacking than a software firewall, because no computer Internet Protocol address are directly exposed to the Internet. This makes port scans (a technique for exploring weaknesses) essentially impossible. In addition, a router does not consume computer resources as a software firewall does. Commercially manufactured routers are easy to install, reasonably priced, and available for hard-wired or wireless networks.

Academic Speaker Series: Sanjukta Ghosh: Of Burqas and Bikinis, Afghan Women and the War on Terror
Mar 3
Castleton State College professor Sanjukta Ghosh focuses on how media constructions of Afghani women were used to mobilize a war against an already beleaguered nation.
Using images from mainstream as well as alternative media such as the feminist press, Castleton State College Professor Sanjukta Ghosh argues that the rhetoric of the media and their neat cultural icons were reminiscent of that used by Victorian feminists. In making this analogy, the presentation brings into focus how Muslim women's images have been used throughout history to further social and political ends.
The presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. It will take place in the East Academic Building, Brooks M. O'Brien Auditorium on the Landmark College campus.

I hate games like this. Where I've accepted a loss if it happens because I know the Thunder played really well. They fought. They clawed. They defended. Where I've come to terms with the result because no matter what, Oklahoma City played a great game against the league's best team on the road, and on the second night of a back-to-back on top of it.
But then all that goodwill just gets ruined by yet another horrendous final possession by the Thunder. Down three with 13 seconds left, OKC was in the position it had to go for a 3 to tie. The play was pretty obvious. Inbound to Westbrook, swing to Green and then set a pinched screen to let Durant wiggle out for a look. Except only the first two parts worked. Jeff Green fired a contested 3 with five seconds left, which naturally airballed and OKC lost 109-105. Now Green should've held on for just a split second longer before shooting, yes, but good grief, why can't one of these plays ever get executed?
If the Thunder gets a good look there — and that's a big if — and it rims out, I've got zero problem with losing this game. This was against the Spurs who are now 47-10, 26-2 at home and have won 19 straight at the AT&T Center. They were rested, OKC wasn't. The effort and intensity the Thunder played with in the second half was nothing short of admirable. So if a decent 3 goes begging, I snap my fingers, kick the dirt and move on.
Looking at the numbers, the Thunder did just about everything right. They killed the glass (54-37 edge), had 13 offensive rebounds to the Spurs four, held San Antonio to under 45 percent from the field, didn't turn the ball over (10), made free throws (24-27) and played their butts off. Where OKC lost this game was in one specific area. The same area that took the Thunder down the last San Antonio game, hurt OKC again. The Spurs went 13-21 from 3, hitting 8 of 11 in the first half. Without that, the Thunder wins this game, no doubt. The lesson here is, the Spurs can shoot. Don't leave them open.
Where I really think the Thunder lost this game though was a stretch with about four minutes left. OKC finally got over the hump taking a 98-96 lead behind James Harden's spark from 3. And the Thunder did what they had to do: They got three straight stops. The opportunity was there to bridge out to at least a four-point lead with about three minutes left. But OKC never capitalized. If the Thunder gets points somewhere in there, they might have a nice buffer to keep the Spurs away. But remember, the Spurs are good and you can't ever let them hang around.
- Harden was just super. He kind of looks like he has a different edge to him right now. He's shooting with a ton of confidence, but isn't sacrificing his dribble-drive game for it. He had 16 on 5-9 shooting and again, those back-to-back 3s are why OKC had a shot in the first place.
- For the first time in a while, we saw a vintage defensive game from Thabo Sefolosha. He really cranked up his effort in the second half, defending Manu Ginobili and holding him to a 2-13 game from the field. Thabo played physical (had seven rebounds) and was active in help defense. Of course he sucked offensively, but it's forgivable when he plays defense like that.
- A key empty possession for OKC came with 48 seconds left. OKC really wanted Durant to get a look but he sort of forced one awkwardly on the baseline that came up short. You can live with it because KD makes tough shots, but it was early in the clock with the Thunder trailing by one.
- Serge Ibaka was terrific off the bench. He finished 10 points, 15 rebounds and a block and really played big inside against the Spurs. A great game from Serge.
- The Thunder started hot, scoring 37 in the first quarter. But things caught up to them in the second with San Antonio outscoring them 33-16.
- Russell Westbrook had 13 of his 25 in the first quarter and looked unstoppable. But it was almost like his hot start made him play a bit too aggressively later. He forced the issue a bit offensively, but that's what you live with in Westbrook. When he's got it going, he's impossible to stop. But when he's goes over the edge a bit, he can monopolize the offense.
- Daequan Cook did exactly what he's been called to do. He stepped off the bench and hit two big 3-pointers in 14 minutes.
- A weird moment in the second quarter. Nick Collison had a normal foul on Tony Parker but Antonio McDyess took exception to it, coming up to Collison. As a result, the two teams came together and scuffled. Somehow after the dust settled, Tim Duncan and KD were hit with technicals and Collison a flagrant. It was really terrible. Scott Brooks and Gregg Popovich were at halfcourt together laughing about it.
- How about that dunk KD had in the first quarter? Good grief, he's SO long.
I don't know what to tell you. You don't want to hear it because we all operate on emotion and we all want to see the team win. But this is just a tough loss. I can sit here and tell you how good the Spurs are and how well the Thunder played them, but you probably don't care. The Thunder lost so with a day to go before the deadline, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
The last play really leaves things sour, but other than that, OKC fought the league's best team well and put itself in a position to win. That might not make you feel better because I agree, the Thunder let what would've been a great win slip away, but this team just isn't there yet.
The bummer is that because of this loss, OKC could flirt with a three-game losing streak. At Orlando and then a home game against the Lakers Sunday put the Thunder in a tough spot. A win against the Spurs would've made everything feel a lot better. But hey, remember almost every good player just left the Northwest Division!

Lebanon vs. Israel.
Sunni vs. Shi'ite.
I could go on and on listing the conflicts in the world today.
KKK vs. anti-KKK. Perhaps a small incident by comparison, but basically still the same - two radical groups, separated only by our city police.
From what I have read in your paper, there was no violence at the Aug. 5 KKK rally. But there could have been, and if the hostility grows, there most likely will be one day.
"Hatred" is the word, and we had a taste of it right here in Amarillo on Aug. 5. If it happened here, I'm sure it has and will happen all over the good ol' USA. Maybe not the KKK, but other radicals with their own ideas.
There always will be some who cannot or will not obey our laws. Laws are needed and they need to be enforced, but let those assigned to do that job do it. They should not have to be protecting us from each other.
More love and understanding is needed. Our world should not need a KKK or an anti-KKK.

I am Domestic Shorthair from San Diego, CA
Nicknames: Kitten with mittens, Munchkin
Age: 6 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: She knows how to use the computer! I came back to my computer yesterday to find she had run a spell check, brought up my pictures and was about to google something. I didn't even have google up.
My favorite tricks and treats are:
Where I hang out: Her room which has all her toys! In that room she has a kitty loft made out of a dog crate and she likes to sleep in that in her plush cat bed. She also likes to hang out on the living room couch and play with the blankets
My favorite grubs: Wellness for kittens canned food and Science Diet Nature's Best kitten kibble mixed with a little warm water
My pet peeves:
What I love about my owners:
My cat hobbies: PLAY! She has a "buddy", the kind that has buckwheat inside and can be heated, and she likes to wrestle with him like he's her littermate. She also likes to chase sashes and roll around with her ball. She also likes her scratching post and cat tower too
Pet motto:

I found her by the alley. She was dirty, weak, and emaciated and meowing a lot but wouldn't eat so I didn't know if she was even weaned. Had probably been separated from mom for quite a while. The shelter was going to put her down so I took her in and took her to vet and he took good care of her. He estimated she was about 5 weeks at the time. She came home weaned, hydrated, and playful and is now(a few weeks later) looking like a healthy kitty. She learned how to use her litter box pretty quickly and she sleeps soundly through the night without meowing.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of ONEOK Partners LP (NYSE: OKS ) climbed 1% this morning after Goldman Sachs upgraded the natural gas storage and transportation company from "sell" to "neutral".
So what: Along with the upgrade, analyst Theodore Durbin raised his price target to $57 (from $55), representing about 8% worth of upside to yesterday's close. While momentum traders might be turned off by the stock's sluggish action in 2013, Durbin believes that ONEOK's announcement this morning -- it will spend up to $780 million on projects in the oil-rich area around Williston, ND -- should give its prospects a decent boost going forward.
Now what: Goldman believes that ONEOK's risk/reward trade-off is pretty balanced at this point. "On the announcement, we lower our 2015 distributable cash flow (DCF) estimate for OKS by 5% on higher financing costs, maintain 2016, but raise our 2017 estimate by 6% assuming 6x EBITDA multiple project returns, similar to other 'bolt-on' organic returns," noted Goldman. With the stock still off about 15% from its 52-week highs and sporting a 5%-plus dividend yield, ONEOK Partners is definitely worth a look.

Dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.

The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these "six pillars of character."
I therefore agree:
- I will not force my child to participate in sports and I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.
- I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.
- I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
- I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by being respectful and courteous and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators.
- I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect, will play by the rules and will resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
- I will teach my child that doing one's best is more important than winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his/her performance by praising my child for competing fairly and never ridiculing my child or other participant for making a mistake or losing a competition.
- I will promote the emotional and physical well being of the athletes ahead of a personal desire to win. I will recognize and emphasize skill development over winning.
- I will respect the authority of officials and coaches during games and will never question, discuss, or confront officials or coaches at the game or practice field. I will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place.
- I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches or have been invited to do so by the official coaches of the team.
I also agree that if I fail to abide by these rules and guidelines I will be subject to disciplinary action that could include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Verbal warning by official, head coach, and/or head of league organization
- Written warning
- Parental game suspension with written documentation of incident kept on file by organizations involved
- Game forfeit through the official or coach
- Parental season suspension

As income inequality moves onto the main stage of U.S. political theater, Oregon is well-positioned to help write the script. The state has one of the nation's highest, and best-designed, minimum wages. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., chairs the influential Senate Finance Committee. And the state's leaders have shown a willingness to tackle big issues.

Keep people moving
Build a culture of student success
Move forward on tax reform
Protect and expand personal freedom
Read more about the editorial board's priorities for Oregon.
What Oregon can't offer the rest of the nation is an example of success. In fact, a recent report by the website 24/7 Wall St., based on data compiled by the Economic Policy Institute, ranked Oregon among the 10 states with the biggest growth in income inequality from 1979 to 2007. It's hardly the type of list that a state known for progressive policies expects to land on. But the list is instructive at several levels, and hopefully will spur conversation in some important areas:
First, income inequality has serious limits as an economic measure. Oregon's company in this top 10 – or should it be bottom 10? – is different from what you might expect, and is quite symmetrical politically. There are four red states: Arizona (5), Wyoming (3), Nevada (2) and Alaska (1). And four blue states: New York (10), Hawaii, (8) Oregon (6), and Michigan (4). Plus two swing states: New Mexico (7) and Florida (9). Missing are states such as Mississippi, West Virginia and Arkansas that are frequently ranked among the nation's poorest.
Second, Oregon's presence on the list drives home the consequences of the state's transition from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy. This shift is a global phenomenon, but few states combined the loss of resource jobs (timber) with an increase in knowledge jobs (high-tech) to the degree that Oregon did over the past three decades.
Third, the ranking reminds us that progressive policies don't necessarily yield progressive results. Oregon is one of only five states without a sales tax and has one of the highest top-bracket state income taxes in the nation. But despite a progressive tax system and one of the nation's highest minimum wages, income inequality grew faster than the national rate and the quality of schools declined over the past three decades.
This particular ranking probably paints a distorted portrait of Oregon because its timeframe is bookended by the peak of Oregon's timber economy before the 1980s recession and the peak of the high-tech economy before the Great Recession. But, if nothing else, it reminds us that effectively addressing income inequality will require finding a way to replace lost blue-collar jobs.

That's the irony of the feverish debate over income inequality, much of it focused on the top 1 percent of wage earners. Raising taxes on the wealthy won't improve the plight of the poor and lower middle class. The money it generates might help, but only if it is targeted toward the right programs. There is wide disagreement over how to do this, and opinions don't necessarily break along partisan lines.
For example, Lane Kenworthy, a University of Arizona sociology professor who has written several books championing a bigger social safety net and other liberal policies, is among those who have come to the conclusion that income inequality is receiving too much attention. "I fear the American left's recent move to put income inequality reduction front and centre might be harmful rather than helpful," Kenworthy wrote, explaining that efforts to reduce wealth held by the top 1 percent could reduce the attention paid to policies that would do more to help the poor achieve better income mobility.
Kenworthy, whose proposals include enhancements in the earned income tax credit, is right. The focus should be on programs that offer economic opportunity to everyone. Oregon, and any other state that wants to reduce inequality, needs a combination of short-term programs, such as EITC enhancements and extended unemployment benefits, to give the economically struggling hope and long-term efforts, focused on education and training, to put them on a path to opportunity.
The Oregon Legislature took a tentative step in the right direction with Senate Bill 1524, which instructs the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to study the possibility of offering free community college to Oregon high school graduates. The idea needs to be refined, and any eventual proposal should include co-pays and grade requirements to provide accountability and motivation for students. But the concept addresses two key issues in reducing income inequality: Schools need to do a better job or equipping students with the skills needed to get good jobs, and students need an affordable way to obtain training.
As legislators move forward they should remember that without improving the economic foundation at the bottom, it won't matter how much money is siphoned from the top of the economy.

Per this tweet from NFL beat writer Judd Zulgad (who gets my nod for most-awesome-name award), the Seahawks are one of two teams showing immediate interest in Randy Moss, who was just waived hours ago by the Minnesota Vikings.
Now, let's not get too excited here. Beyond the Seahawks, every imaginable NFL team is probably "expressing interest" in Moss at the moment, and at 4-3, the Hawks are far from the top of the waiver order. The Dolphins are the other team reportedly showing interest, and as I'm typing this, Dolphin fans are probably jumping around the room like Ritalin-addled kids in a minivan on the way to Disneyland. Brandon Marshall and The Freak on the same team would terrify the crap out of the rest of the league, and probably force Dan Marino out of retirement.
In all actuality, Moss isn't going to make it past the multitude of subpar teams out there in need of a playmaker. (Jacksonville, Denver, Cleveland, etc) And then there's Buffalo. Judging by how well that worked out for Terrell Owens, though, I'm not giving that one the vote of confidence.
But if he DID somehow fall to the Seahawks….hoboy.

Close to 1 a.m. on April 1 Walter Cannon was discovered by Dallas Fire-Rescue workers in a downtown Dallas trashcan, severely beaten and unconscious. Days later, he died at Baylor University Medical Center. At the time, senior corporal DeMarquis Black, a Dallas Police Department spokesman, said only that "it has not been determined if he was beaten," and that a cause of death would be released once the autopsy was completed.
Two months later, Cannon's death is officially a homicide. And though his body was found in a very public place - in a downtown filled with cameras and near the intersection of N. Griffin Street and Pacific Avenue, catty-corner to Dallas Area Rapid Transit's CBD Transfer Station - Dallas police do not know who killed him or why.
Detectives are now asking for the public's help in identifying Cannon's killer or killers. Says DPD: "If anyone has any information on this offense, please contact Detective Michael Yeric at 214-671-3677."

Pete Wentz is already facing his first daddy dilemma. As a Chicagoan, will his baby with wife Ashlee Simpson root for the Cubs or the White Sox?
"If my dad has anything to say about it, I'm sure he will be a Cubs fan." the Windy City native told PEOPLE Sunday at the Nike + Human Race at Soldier Field in Chicago. "If my friends have anything to say about it, it will probably be a Sox fan. So, knowing me, it will probably come out a mathematician."
The Fall Out Boy bassist has definitely been studious in his fact-finding mission about fatherhood. Besides reading books including The Expectant Father, Wentz, 29, said one famous friend in particular has been a wealth of information.
"Joel [Madden] gives me advice," Wentz said of the Good Charlotte rocker, who's dad to 7-month-old daughter Harlow with girlfriend Nicole Richie. "[It's] been really awesome for me to go to another person my age."
During Fall Out Boy's performance at the Nike + Human Race, Simpson – wearing a black blouse and purple pants – hung out backstage with friends. While the band played their cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It," she started dancing with her arms around her belly.
So, could the song end up on Simpson's labor playlist? "That's probably going to be all up to Ashlee – what she picks," Wentz said. "I couldn't be like, 'Oh, you're going through labor, here's the music I want you to listen to.' So, it's whatever she picks."
That may include his own vocals. Wentz said he sings to the baby "late at night .... Baby's gotten a couple lullabies."
In a recent posting on Simpson's blog, she joked that while she's pregnant, her "closet full of size 0's are being worn by Pete right now and he looks hot in them."

Shake is very good for rolling joints and blunts, because it burns very evenly, slowly, and consistently if you roll it well.

MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin has been appointed to the bipartisan committee assigned to come up with a long-term budget agreement.
The Democrat will join Wisconsin Republicans Ron Johnson and Paul Ryan on the committee. Ryan is expected to co-chair the group.
Baldwin said Thursday in a statement that she was proud to support the compromise that ended the 16-day partial government shutdown and she looks forward to working across party lines to come up with a longer-term solution.
She says now is the time for both parties to work together to create a responsible budget that invests in the middle class, strengthens the economy and takes a balanced approach to reducing the deficit.

Child Pornography: A Closer Look
By Michelle K. Collins, Director, Exploited Child Unit, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Alexandria, Virginia
hese are the true stories of three children who were not only sexually abused but further humiliated when their abusers photographed and videotaped the moment of victimization. Some abusers take photographs so they can use them for sexual gratification in the future. Others use these sexually abusive images to coerce their child victims into silence. In recent years, a growing number of offenders indicated that they were motivated to produce these vile images to enhance their status with other child abusers on the Internet.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has a long history of assisting law enforcement with cases of child sexual exploitation. NCMEC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). NCMEC's congressionally mandated CyberTipline, a reporting mechanism for child sexual exploitation, has handled more than 440,000 leads. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, NCMEC is proud to have 12 federal law enforcement personnel working in the building to assist with cases of missing and exploited children.
NCMEC's Child Victim Identification Program (CVIP) serves as the national clearinghouse for child pornography cases across the United States. NCMEC is the central repository for information regarding children who have been identified as victims seen in child pornography. Not only is case and image information stored at NCMEC, the CVIP analysts have extensive institutional knowledge of the pictures and suspects due to years of working with child pornography material. All of this information may be useful to law enforcement agencies, whether they work these cases daily or are conducting their first investigation of child sexual exploitation.
There are several misconceptions about child pornography. Some believe child pornography refers to baby-in-the-bathtub pictures and others are under the impression that child pornography images are 19-year-old women dressed up in pigtails and schoolgirl uniforms. Neither of these descriptions constitutes child pornography. Child pornography is not pictures of teenagers romping on a beach; it is pictures of children, often babies in diapers, being violently molested. Not only did these children suffer the initial sexual victimization, they will continue to be exploited every time their image is traded online among individuals who use these images to fuel their sexual desire for children. These traded images are photographs of actual crime scenes.
As a result of NCMEC's collecting data regarding child pornography investigations in the United States and around the world, a greater knowledge has been gained regarding the perpetrators of these crimes. In almost all cases tracked by NCMEC, the abuser was an adult with legitimate access to the child victim. In fact, in those cases where the child has been identified by law enforcement, 35 percent of the abusers were a parent of the child victim. Twenty-eight percent of the abusers were neighbors or trusted family friends of the child victim. Although it may be difficult to accept, the offenders who photograph the sexual abuse of children are typically in a position of authority in the children's life. Not surprisingly, few children disclose their abuse to a trusted adult.
Another disturbing trend investigators have noticed is the dramatic drop in the age of the child victims seen in these sexually abusive images. According to data collected by NCMEC, 58 percent of identified child victims are prepubescent. Sadly, 6 percent of the identified children were only infants at the time the sexual abuse occurred and the images were produced. And although NCMEC does collect information regarding children from other countries who were used in the production of child pornography, most of the children known to NCMEC are from the United States.
Law Enforcement's Response
Over the last decade, law enforcement has proven itself highly effective in identifying and apprehending individuals who transmit child pornography on the Internet. On a federal level, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) are working these crimes effectively. In addition, strong networks of trained law enforcement professionals are working on the state and local levels through the 46 federally funded task forces devoted to stopping Internet crimes against children (ICAC). The successful teamwork among these agencies is reflected in the large number of arrests they make each year.
In the last eight years, there has been a collective awakening in law enforcement regarding the need to identify the children seen in the images. Today, law enforcement considers as part of its mission not only using the child pornography images to charge a defendant but also scrutinizing the images for any possible clues that could lead to the location of the abuse. Many of these children are being abused in the basements and living rooms of their homes across the United States. Few of these children will disclose their abuse to a trusted adult. Thus, in recent years, investigators working child pornography investigations have begun to examine each disturbing image and video to find a clue that could lead to the rescue of a child from an abusive situation.
History of CVIP
In 2002, as a result of the court decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (535 U.S. 234, 2002), the Supreme Court decided that computer-generated child pornography was not considered illegal if no actual child was used in the production of the images. The Supreme Court maintained that these images are not criminal because there is no live victim, hence no real child.
This ruling allowed defendants to argue that the child pornography images found on their computers are actually images of virtual kids and not real children. In response to this defense, many prosecutors try to establish the actual identity of the children seen in the illegal images. Since determining the identity of children in child pornography may be difficult or even impossible, this presents additional challenges when prosecuting cases. CVIP is playing a critical role in helping to ensure the successful conviction of child pornographers.
CVIP analysts, in cooperation with in-house federal law enforcement partners, work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure convictions of child pornographers. Most importantly, CVIP analysts closely examine the heinous images for any clues that might point to a location of the abuse. The efforts of law enforcement across the country have been astounding. In the first four years of CVIP, law enforcement has notified NCMEC of more than 900 child victims rescued from the hands of their abusers.
Evidence Reviews
Local and federal law enforcement agencies are able to submit copies of seized child pornography to the federal law enforcement agents assigned to NCMEC, accompanied by a written request that the images be reviewed for identified children. After a review of all of the pictures on the defendant's computer, a child identification report is provided to the submitting agency listing every single picture containing an identified child. In order to protect the child's privacy, this report contains detailed information about the law enforcement agency that identified the child.
Image Analysis
The most critical function of CVIP is the ongoing effort to rescue the unidentified children seen in sexually exploitive images. There are many children still suffering at the hands of their exploiters who need to be located. While reviewing evidence submitted by law enforcement, CVIP analysts closely examine the images and videos and document all investigative clues that could lead to the location of a child victim. Once a location has been determined, CVIP enlists the assistance of the appropriate law enforcement agency to identify the child victims. Many children have been rescued from ongoing exploitation as a result of the cooperative efforts between CVIP and law enforcement.
This case highlights the importance of image analysis and cooperative investigations involving federal and local law enforcement agencies. During the course of providing technical assistance to the ICE and U.S. Secret Service, CVIP analysts reviewed several child pornography images of six prepubescent girls. The CVIP analysts had never seen these pictures before, which heightened their concerns that these children might still be in an abusive situation. Many of the sexually explicit photographs showed the girls in various rooms of a private home that provided critical clues for a location.
CVIP analysts began an aggressive analysis of the images with the hope of identifying the six young girls. CVIP reviewed the images, one by one, and documented a significant number of investigative clues. The first clue that led CVIP analysts to the children's location was an envelope seen in the background of one of the images. Image enhancement provided the analyst with the name of a storage facility. Internet searches for this company indicated six possible locations in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, area.
The second clue that indicated that the victims lived in the Minneapolis area was a particular picture in which a child's uniform is seen draped over a chair. Partially visible on the uniform was the text MINNEA. CVIP analysts believed that this clue, along with the envelope, could help law enforcement find the victims. In addition to a possible location, CVIP analysts determined that many of the images were taken with an Olympus digital camera between March and October 2004.
NCMEC referred the case to ICE's field office in Minneapolis. ICE agents coordinated the investigation with the Minnesota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Burnsville Police Department. The investigators created a mini-taskforce and successfully identified all six children within a few days. During the search warrant of the abuser's home, many of the items seen in the photographs were seized as evidence. The U.S. attorney's office successfully convicted the producer of these images on 24 counts of manufacturing child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography, and one count of receipt of child pornography.
Newly Identified Victims
During the course of child sexual exploitation investigations, law enforcement investigators frequently encounter children who have been pornographically photographed or videotaped. It is an unfortunate reality that many of these pictures will be uploaded to the Internet for the enjoyment of others. It is often difficult, if not impossible, for law enforcement to determine whether photographs of locally identified victims have been traded with others. NCMEC can generate reports for law enforcement documenting where specific pictures have been seen. These reports have been incredibly helpful to law enforcement and prosecutors who were looking to ensure convictions on charges of distribution.
More than 900 children seen in these horrific images already have been identified, but there are many sexually abused children who still need to be rescued. It is critical that law enforcement agencies notify NCMEC when they've identified a child who was pornographically photographed, whether they believe the images were distributed or not.
Every week, CVIP staff members view thousands of illegal images of children where the victim appears to be in the United States yet has not been identified. CVIP analysts work to identify the location of these children by looking for distinguishing clues in the background such as newspapers, calendars, and envelopes. Such unique identifiers may not be recognizable to CVIP staff members, but it is highly probable somebody may recognize them. Based on the assumption that more children can be located if more people are looking at the backgrounds, NCMEC created an aggressive new tool in the fight against child pornography called the Victim Identification Lab.
In summer 2006 the first-ever United States–based victim identification lab was launched at the Crimes Against Children Conference in Dallas, Texas. It was a cooperative effort involving NCMEC, the ICAC task forces, the FBI, ICE, and the USPIS. The purpose of the lab was to create a secure environment where law enforcement officers could review sanitized, nonpornographic images that contain potential clues in the background that may be regionally identifiable.
During a weeklong launch of the victim identification lab, 540 police officers visited the lab and generated more than 560 leads. As a result, jurisdictions have been identified for five children, and in one case the identity of a previously unknown child victim was determined. Participants included law enforcement officials and prosecutors from 48 states and 11 countries. Participants viewed images with the graphic material removed, both photographs and videos, showing background identifiers, audio clues, children's faces, and suspects' faces.
U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and Assistant Attorney General Regina B. Schofield toured the lab and received a demonstration of its capabilities on opening day. The lab featured 30 individual workstations, donated by the ICAC task forces, with real-time message posting of comments and suggestions that could be viewed by everyone in the lab. All information submitted by lab users was compiled and analyzed by NCMEC before referral to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation. ■

Cppcheck is a static code analysis tool for the C and C++ programming languages. It is a versatile tool that can check non-standard code.[1] The creator and lead developer is Daniel Marjamäki.
Cppcheck is free software under the GNU General Public License.
Cppcheck supports a wide variety of static checks that may not be covered by the compiler itself. These checks are static analysis checks that can be performed at a source code level. The program is directed towards static analysis checks that are rigorous, rather than heuristic in nature.
Some of the checks that are supported include:
- Automatic variable checking
- Bounds checking for array overruns
- Classes checking (e.g. unused functions, variable initialization and memory duplication)
- Usage of deprecated or superseded functions according to Open Group[2]
- Exception safety checking, for example usage of memory allocation and destructor checks
- Memory leaks, e.g. due to lost scope without deallocation
- Resource leaks, e.g. due to forgetting to close a file handler
- Invalid usage of Standard Template Library functions and idioms
- Miscellaneous stylistic and performance errors
As with many analysis programs, there are many unusual cases of programming idioms which may be acceptable in particular target cases, or outside of the programmer's scope for source code correction. A study conducted in March 2009 identified several areas where false positives were found by cppcheck, but did not specify the program version examined.[3] Cppcheck has been identified for use in systems such as CERNs 4DSOFT meta analysis package,[4] for code verification in high energy particle detector readout devices,[5] system monitoring software for radio telescopes[6] as well as in error analysis of large projects, such as OpenOffice.org[7] and the Debian archive.[8]
The project is actively under development[9] and is actively maintained in different distributions.[10][11] It has found valid bugs in a number of popular projects[12] such as the Linux kernel and MPlayer.[13]
Plugins for the following IDEs exist[14]
- CLion[15]
- Code::Blocks - integrated.
- CodeLite - integrated.
- Eclipse[16]
- Emacs[17]
- gedit[18]
- Hudson[19]
- Jenkins[20]
- Sublime Text[21]
- Yasca[22]
Visual Studio integration[edit]
The commercial third-party Add-In Visual Lint by British company Riverblade can be used to integrate CppCheck in Visual Studio.[23] There is also an open source plugin cppcheck-vs-addin[24] available. It is also possible to add Cppcheck as an external tool.[25]

MILWAUKEE -- Lebanese American Elie Hasbani never dreamed he'd live in Milwaukee, and he never imagined he'd be running a marathon.
"My main inspiration is Jesus," he told CBN News. "That's why I'm doing this and, of course, He changed my life."
Hasbani's life journey began half a world away in Lebanon.
"It's a beautiful country and it's written in the Bible. It's mentioned in the Bible many times. The cedars of Lebanon are gorgeous and this country is really in my heart," he said.
Raised in a Christian culture, he grew up peacefully with his Muslim neighbors.
"These people, their children were my best friends. We just loved to be together and have fun," he recalled.
Some were Palestinian.
"Palestinians came to our country as refugees. We hosted them, we liked them, we sympathized with them, and now they turn against us and they want to kill us," Hasbani explained.
Civil war broke out in 1975 when the Palestinian Liberation Organization and its Muslim backers attacked Israeli and Christian villages in Lebanon. Hasbani joined the Israeli-supported South Lebanon Army.
"I wanted to protect my family," he said. "I wanted to protect my identity as a Lebanese or as a Christian at that time and the people of my country."
The Lebanese civil war took its toll, surrounding him with death and destruction.
"You don't know if you will die today or tomorrow. I started hating myself, not only hating my enemy. So, I start drinking to forget. I didn't care about life. I didn't care if I would die or live," he said.
Giving Hope
Hasbani's thinking changed quickly after his commander ordered him to disarm enemy rockets.
That's when a land mine exploded beneath his feet.
"I start thinking, 'I'm going to die, but how can I face God right now? God is going to judge me,'" he recalled. "I was so afraid. I said, 'Jesus if You are alive, save me. I don't want to go to hell.'"
Hasbani's life was spared. He lost his left leg, but gained salvation. Called to ministry, he eventually joined Youth With A Mission and later attended the Arab Baptist Seminary.
It was in Beirut, where Hasbani studied and first preached, that he learned it was no longer safe for him to remain there. So, he packed up his family, left the land that he loved, and headed to America.
Hasbani now serves as nation's pastor at Milwaukee's Eastbrook Church, home to Christians from 60 countries.
"I'm trying to equip the church, help the church understand more how to work cross culturally, how to love people from different countries around," he said.
He added that God gave him a vision to do something bigger, to share his heart for the nations, not only with the people of his church but with the entire Milwaukee community.
Each year, Hasbani sponsors and participates in a charitable marathon race called, Running for Hope. The idea came as he played soccer with his sons.
He said he wanted to do it as a fundraiser to "ship a container of wheelchairs, crutches [and] walkers" to those in need.
Life's Spiritual Race
CBN News talked with some of this year's attendees.
"I run with Elie because he's so inspirational. He runs with one leg, and if I have two, I feel like I can help him out with his cause," race participant Lisa Kojais said. "It's called Running for Hope, and I feel we give hope to a lot of people."
Hasbani tells his story in the book, The Good Soldier. He said he hopes to return to Lebanon someday to personally deliver wheelchairs and other supplies. But that is unlikely to happen as long as the militant Islamic group Hezbollah dominates the country.
"I want to share my story because these people need God more than any because we had war," he said.
"These people are broken, suffering," he said. "They are still suffering and there is a lot of hate, enmity, and people revenge, and we need God."
In the meantime, Hasbani said he'll continue the annual marathon. He also wants to encourage others to win life's spiritual race.
"You have to have this endurance and this relationship with Christ in order to win the race," he said.
"He was there for me when I was dying on the ground," Hasbani continued. "It is written in the Bible, He will give us a new body."
"Not only eternal life, but I will have a new body, and I can run and I can fly, and I can enjoy this body," he said. "That's my hope."
