Insensitive Kerry Brags to Germans about Nazi Freedoms in America
Latest update: February 28th, 2013
On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry bragged about freedom of speech, religion and thought in the United States in front of an audience of German students, telling them that in America "you have a right to be stupid if you want to be."
Forgetting, perhaps, that he was in Berlin, former home to the most terrifying regime under Heaven, Kerry bragged, according to Reuters:
"As a country, as a society, we live and breathe the idea of religious freedom and religious tolerance, whatever the religion, and political freedom and political tolerance, whatever the point of view."
Then Kerry really turned it on, telling his audience how in the land of the free neo Nazis are permitted to strut in their jackboots and swastika wherever they feel like, even in the Jewish suburbs of Chicago. This is how Mr. sensitivity phrased it:
"People have sometimes wondered about why our Supreme Court allows one group or another to march in a parade even though it's the most provocative thing in the world and they carry signs that are an insult to one group or another."
Heart warming.
Except that, in Germany, the law restricts neo-Nazi propaganda and Nazi symbols are banned, with the exception of artistic or historic reenactment purposes. In 2005, Germany's parliament tightened the restrictions on neo-Nazi marches to keep them away from sensitive memorials such as former concentration camps. The changes make it easier for local authorities to ban such gatherings.
Oblivious to all that, Kerry boasted: "The reason is, that's freedom, freedom of speech. In America you have a right to be stupid – if you want to be… And we tolerate it. We somehow make it through that."
Actually, not all of us – certainly those unlucky Jews who used to live in Berlin while all that stupidity was going on, starting in 1933.
"Now, I think that's a virtue," Kerry declared proudly. "I think that's something worth fighting for. The important thing is to have the tolerance to say, you know, you can have a different point of view."
So now what, revoke all those intolerant laws against neo Nazi marches through Berlin? Because that certainly sounded like the natural conclusion from the uber-tolerant Kerry.
Kerry made the comments in favor of letting Nazis be Nazis on his first foreign trip since becoming secretary of state on Feb 1. After one-night stops in London and Berlin, he is visiting Paris, Rome, Ankara, Cairo, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Doha before returning to Washington on March 6.

What kind of a transmission?
"Derelict is an editing project for academic purposes," explains Willins. "Prometheus wasn't exactly an Alien prequel, but this treats it as such by intercutting the events of Alien with Prometheus in a dual narrative structure. The goal was to assemble the material to emphasize the strengths of Prometheus as well as its ties to Alien."

Hospitals aim to do less harm
Building on success in preventing deaths, new goal is to reduce injuries by 5 million
Two years after the Institute for Healthcare Improvement launched a campaign to reduce the thousands of deaths caused by such hospital failures as medication errors and infections, the same leaders on Tuesday launched a second phase aimed at cutting hospital-induced injuries by 5 million over the next two years.
The non-profit institute studied injury rates at hospitals and estimated that there are 40 to 50 "incidents of harm" for every 100 patients, about 15 million harm events each year at U.S. hospitals. The injuries include everything from pressure ulcers, more commonly known as bedsores, to surgical complications and infections.
The detailed prescription for preventing these injuries includes such things as improved bedding and hand hygiene in hospitals, better treatment of congestive heart failure and thorough disinfecting of rooms where previous patients have had antibiotic-resistant infections.
If achieved, the drop in hospital injuries would represent "the biggest improvement in patient safety in the history of modern health care," physician and safety advocate Donald M. Berwick said, speaking by phone from Orlando, Fla., where the institute is holding its annual forum on improving health care.
"It's a bold initiative," said Joe McCannon, the institute's vice president, adding, "patients and families deserve absolutely no less."
Back in June, the institute announced that it had exceeded the goal of its 18-month, 100,000 Lives campaign by preventing an estimated 122,300 unnecessary deaths. Hospitals followed a series of strategies from the institute to improve the treatment of heart attacks, reduce medication errors, and combat infections and pneumonia that take root in hospitals.
Institute leaders said the campaign will continue to measure the number of unnecessary deaths prevented.
"I think the bigger challenge is holding the gains and then going beyond that," said Leo Brideau, president and CEO of Milwaukee-based Columbia St. Mary's, which is among more than 3,000 hospitals nationwide and 83 in Wisconsin that joined the 100,000 Lives campaign.
After hearing Berwick's speech Tuesday, carried by satellite to all three Columbia St. Mary's hospitals, Brideau said, "I think his goals are dead on."
Some declines already
Ascension Health, one of the owners of Columbia St. Mary's, is in the midst of its own program to eliminate preventable deaths and injuries by July 2008.
Columbia St. Mary's has seen "big declines in injury rates," Brideau said. "We have come very close to eliminating ventilator-associated pneumonias in our ICU."
He said hospitals have gone up to a year or a year and a half between incidents of patients getting pneumonia from their ventilators. Previous studies found that 15% of all patients on ventilators were getting pneumonia and half of those were dying from it.
To address the problem of bedsores, Ascension Health has been replacing all of the beds in its hospitals and providing lifts that help caregivers turn patients frequently.
Other areas Berwick targeted to reduce injuries included congestive heart failure, surgical complications, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, and harm caused by high-alert medications such as anti-coagulants, sedatives and insulin.
In addition, Berwick listed one area less familiar to most patients - hospital boards of directors. He urged board members to set safety goals, establish monitoring and work to promote transparency and trust.
He suggested that boards conduct intensive case studies of patients who have been harmed and monthly random audits of 20 to 40 patient medical charts, using a screening tool that helps focus on signs of harm. For example, the drug naloxone is given to patients overdosing on a narcotic, so its appearance in a chart is a sign that a patient may have been given too much of a narcotic.
Steve Cardamone, chief medical officer for Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, which provides nearly one-fourth of the medical care in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties, said the new measures targeted by the institute make sense and have been priorities for Wheaton Franciscan.
"All six are already part of our safety practices, our cultures," Cardamone said.
As an example, he pointed to Wheaton Franciscan's vigilance on hand washing, a first step in preventing antibiotic-resistant infections. In the area of surgical site infections, he said, "we've seen almost no surgical wound infections in many of our facilities."

Ricky Burns Enjoyed Training Time Spent in Trondheim
Ricky Burns spent a week training at minus 16 in frozen Norway preparing for what he believes will be the "hottest" night of his career when he takes on Mexico's IBF champion Miguel Vazquez in their unification fight at Wembley Arena on March 16.
The WBO lightweight champion travelled to Trondheim earlier in the month to spar with Andreas Evensen, who he beat almost three years ago in the first defence of his super-featherweight title before moving up a division, and was taken aback at the cold conditions when going for his daily run.
Ironically, Burns' press conference on Thursday morning in a Mexican restaurant in Glasgow saw him gamely undertake 'a chilli challenge' but afterwards he recalled an unusually bitter start to his preparations.
The Coatbridge boxer, 29, said: "We went over for a week. Andreas' trainer got in touch with us and it was organized before the Vazquez fight was announced.
"It was a good trip apart from the weather. It was freezing. Even they said it was colder than it usually was.
"It was cold for the first 10 minutes when you went running but once you were warmed up you were fine.
"They gave you these scarf things to cover your mouth but due to the condensation from my breath, it iced over.
"It was a good trip though. Andreas' style is totally different but I said I would help him out so it was a good start to the training camp and I am looking forward to the fight.
"This is one of the hottest nights of boxing in Britain for a while. It is a big, big card, with some great fights on it.
"I'm looking forward just getting in there and doing my job, so boxing fans are in for a great night of boxing."
Burns has not been in the ring since he beat Kevin Mitchell in Glasgow last September.
The Scot was due to face Liam Walsh in London in December but his opponent pulled out after a car accident. His replacement, Jose Ocampo, then withdrew just days before fight night.
However, Burns does not think his layoff will be a problem.
"I think it would have been different if I hadn't been training," he said.
"But I had been training and I was gutted when the fight fell through but this one more than makes up for it.
"I have always said I want the big names and big fights.
"I set the bar for the Mitchell fight with the intensity of my training.
"People were coming in the gym and they were seeing me running, sparring and doing the bags, it was all at 100mph and that is the attitude we are taking into this fight."

A patient with a complex chromosomal rearrangement is described. Fluorescent microscopy after staining with quinacrine mustard revealed that what appeared to be a simple inversion of a G chromosome as judged by conventional cytogenetic techniques actually represented a probable reciprocal translocation resulting in monosomy-21 and trisomy of the centric portion of another chromosome.
The congenital abnormalities noted were: hypertelorism, epicanthus, small ears, small mouth, high-arched palate, flat nasal-bridge, and short neck. Several joints, including those in the fingers and toes, were malformed and limited in their movements. There was a heart anomaly interpreted as a ventricular septal defect and psychomotor development at the age of 14 months was clearly retarded.
The clinical features of this patient were compared with the cases reported by others in which total or partial G-monosomy was claimed.

1) To balance him out. Let's not forget which category he is higher in... I don't remember what the rating is exactly, but I'm fairly sure his quickness/agility, acceleration and dribble speed are some of the best in the game. If you max his top speed as well then he'd probably be even more ridiculous.
2) Anatomically, people with longer legs will have better top speed than those who have shorter ones, whereas the ones with shorter legs have better speed burst over short distance (acceleration). This is why I'm sure although Messi is a beast, I'm sure he'd be merely average in terms of something like... say... 100m/200m race. Not much he can do about that since it's just physical limitations. But of course, this does not matter much in football at all anyways. The other speed stats matter much more (agility, acceleration) and Messi has it where it counts.

Well player ratings provided by KONAMI are usually awful, so you just have to wait ~2 weeks to get some new custom player stat database, much better than official one.

Can't say I agree with balancing in a football game; if a player is as amazing as Messi is in real-life, he should be head and shoulders above everyone else in-game.
His dribble speed is 98, but he's not exactly a slouch off-the-ball either!
IncredibleG 6 years ago#14
Messi's stats are pretty good actually, he's not hugely fast compared to someone like Theo Wallcot, he's just better at choosing when to use it to get past people. The stats in Pro Ev are based on what a player is capable of, then a combination of their stamina, tenacity and form will effect his overall impact in the game.
To take Ibra for example, he has overall 97 due to having very high stats related to his position. But just because 97 seems high for what we see week in, week out at Barca doesn't mean they've f**ked up. When playing at the top of his game I don't think anyone will argue with the stats that put him at Ovr- 97(Att-95, Bal-96, DrAcc-95, ShPow-93, ShTq-98, Tq-97 and a fair smattering of other good scores + Trickster and various skillcards). The fact is Ibra has 72 for Tenacity so if his form is low or he's tired you can knock 10, 20 maybe more off when you combine the two if they're both bad. He may have 6 for form which is okay(maybe more based on his Inter days) and that might tempt you to field him in every game in your master league but that 78 for Stamina will quickly screw you if you play the way he likes to play(moving with the ball at his feet) game after game.
Its the intricacy of the stat system and how it directly effects every match you play that sets PES apart from FIFA IMO.
in terms of stats i normally use this guide when editing...
75 - 79 = average ability nothing special, anything less is considered not good at
80 - 84 = good ability, for example a player like fabregas' balance or shot acc
85 - 89 = very good, something they are well known for, lampard's shot acc or balance
90+ = world class, messi's speed, xavi's passing, drogba's strength, etc

well took it out today and it liked the crosman hunting pellets I had better than the Benjamin domed hollowpoint version and the only thing I founf wrong was the rear sight was cracked underneath where the screw goes in to hold the adjuster together so Monday I hope they will send me a new one! but other than that the gun shoots great with lots of power! :)
July 20, 2014, 06:48 PM
I would crony the gun to be sure power is up to snuff. They have a problem with leakage due to welding on the scope rail. The first one I tested shot at about 14ftlbs which is low for a standard gun, but horrible for a magnum. That leakage also contributes to accuracy problems and scope breakage.
If you don't have a crony you can open the gun up and look to see if the problem exists which will be obvious with holes in the welded area that the main seal passes over. If you have it apart you might as well install a new main seal since the originals are almost always damaged during install from the sharp edges of the cocking slot. So ideally you should file/grind/sand those sharp edges before installing the new seal. Plus a good aftermarket seal will be better all around anyway. There are other things you can do while it's apart to make the gun better, like smoothing the rough transfer port, making sure the breech seal has a smooth surface to seal against, piston buttons to reduce wear and cocking effort, etc... I have info on that stuff if you're interested in going that far.

July 20, 2014, 07:54 PM
okay, yeah more info is good, mine is a grooved receiver and the scope rail is bolted on so hopefully this is better? but yeah chevota I would like more info on this gun :) thanks!
July 21, 2014, 12:36 AM
If by grooved you mean dovetail then it should be fine, it's the welded on picatinny rail like in the link below that's the problem.
Sometimes those reviews have some good info too.
For the other info I mentioned write me at chevota at hotmail and I'll send it, just remind me of who you are.
You might check out vortekproducts.com too. Their tune kit is too expensive imo, especially for a Ruger, but a good source for a main seal and/or main spring.

The 2017 Prize opens for entries from 1st Oct to 1st Dec 2016
The Brunel University International African Poetry Prize is a major annual poetry prize of £3000 aimed at the development, celebration and promotion of poetry from Africa. Now in its fourth year, this year the Prize is sponsored by Brunel University and Commonwealth Writers.
British-Nigerian writer, Bernardine Evaristo, who is Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel University London, initiated the award in 2012. She describes her reasons for a new prize devoted exclusively to African poetry:
'I had judged several literary prizes including chairing the Caine Prize for African Writing in 2012, an award that continues to revitalise the fortunes of fiction from Africa since its inception in 1999. It became clear to me that poetry from the continent could also do with a prize to draw attention to it and to encourage a new generation of poets who might one day become an international presence. African poets are rarely published in Britain. I hope this prize will introduce exciting new poets to the world's poetry editors.'
The Prize works closely with the African Poetry Book Fund (APBF) and since its inception, most of the poets who have been nominated and/or won this award have published chapbooks with the African Poetry Book Fund series of 'New Generation Chapbook Box Sets'. http://africanpoetrybf.unl.edu/
The Prize is open to poets who were born in Africa, or who are nationals of an African country, or whose parents are African. It is for ten poems exactly in order to encourage serious poets. These poems may, however, have already been published. Only poets who have not yet had a full-length poetry book published are eligible. Poets who have self-published poetry books or had chapbooks and pamphlets published are allowed to submit for this prize.
For press, media and other professional enquiries only, contact Bernardine Evaristo at email@example.com. (For the submission email address see Rules.)

John Edwards Verdict: Not Guilty on One of Six Counts, Mistrial Declared on Remaining Charges
John Edwards was found not guilty on one of six counts in his campaign finance fraud trial today, with the jury hopelessly deadlocked on the remaining charges.
Judge Catherine Eagles declared a mistrial on the five counts for which the jury couldn't reach a verdict. He can therefore be retried, but it's unlikely he will be.

(Sept. 27, 2016) The Portland Bureau of Transportation's parking enforcement program has applied parking boots to 21 vehicles that had overdue parking citations totaling $82,795 in less than three weeks, the bureau announced today.
PBOT started using parking boots on Sept. 7. As of Monday, Sept. 26, enforcement officers had booted 21 vehicles, of which 10 were released to the owner by the Multnomah County Circuit Court, nine were towed for lack of payment and two were still remaining on the street with the parking boot applied.
In August, the Portland City Council approved a new policy allowing PBOT parking enforcement to use parking boots. PBOT uses boots to immobilize a vehicle for up to 36 hours, allowing the owner time to settle outstanding citations with the court. This approach allows people to pay their tickets, and avoid towing fees. After booting, the vehicle is towed if the vehicle owner has still not settled with the court for outstanding citations, and normal fees apply.
"Everyone needs to pay their parking tickets," said Commissioner Steve Novick, who oversees PBOT. "I wanted PBOT to start booting largely because the towing and vehicle storage fees are an unnecessary penalty that is particularly burdensome for people with low incomes. In recent weeks, we've heard that people are going to court and settling up their outstanding tickets and that's great. Our parking enforcement program helps make sure everyone is following the rules of the road."
Vehicle owners who have questions about outstanding parking citations can call 503-988-3235, option 2 or see the court's web site on parking citations.
Booting gives vehicle owners the opportunity to pay their citations or appear in front of a judge at Multnomah County Court to resolve their outstanding citations, before they start getting hit with additional towing charges.
PBOT's parking enforcement operation is a crucial part of the city's management of public space, said Transportation Director Leah Treat.
"Parking spaces are an important part of the public space that PBOT manages for Portlanders," Treat said. "Our parking rules are essential to manage public space in the public interest. We issue citations to make sure everyone is following the rules. Enforcement helps our parking system provide Portlanders with the access to homes and businesses that we all enjoy every day."
For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions about PBOT's booting program.
(Sept 23, 2016) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require a full road closure for people driving and biking on N Interstate Avenue from N Larrabee Avenue to N Tillamook Street, on Monday, September 26, through Wednesday, October 5, 7 a.m. through 4 p.m. each work day. Work is expected only on weekdays and the road will be open on the weekend.
The road closure will allow crews to grind and pave 1.77 lane miles of pavement.
Streets with ground down surfaces are open for travel. The road closure will only be in effect during project hours. Access will be maintained for businesses and residents during the project. Northbound traffic will be detoured onto N Larrabee Avenue and southbound traffic will be detoured onto the ramp that reconnects with Interstate at N Thunderbird Way via N Larrabee Avenue.
This area is a popular route for people traveling by bicycle and public transit. During work hours, expect to see signs indicating detours for all travelers. Consider using alternate routes.
For information on possible impacts to TriMet service, check trimet.org/alerts.
The traveling public is advised to expect delays while repairs are being made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.

(Sept. 23, 2016) -- The first Speed Safety Cameras in Oregon will start issuing speeding tickets on Saturday, after 30 days of issuing warnings that have already reduced top-end speeding by 93 percent.
The goal of the Speed Safety Cameras is to reduce speeding and save lives. The SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway corridor is part of Portland's High Crash Network of roads. PBOT's recent Vision Zero crash data analysis found that Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway is one of the top roads where people driving are killed or seriously injured. People walking along or crossing on foot are twice as likely to be struck by a car than on the average city street.
Cameras started issuing warnings on Aug. 25, the start of a 30-day period that ends on Saturday. The warnings have already reduced top-end speeding along the corridor, where about 25,000 vehicles travel each day and the speed limit is 40 mph:
"Speed Safety Cameras have a proven track record in other cities, and are already showing their effectiveness in Portland," said Transportation Director Leah Treat, "For us to reach our Vision Zero goal of ending traffic fatalities and serious injuries, we need tools like these cameras. Thanks to the City Council and state Legislature, we can use this proven tool and save lives." "It's amazing to see how quickly these safety cameras have reduced dangerous speeding on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway," said Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick, who oversees PBOT. "I'm so glad these cameras have already improved safety on a busy street where pedestrians face a terribly high crash rate."
VIDEO: Safety cameras recorded video of a white SUV traveling at 72 mph, available at the PBOT YouTube channel.
The installation on SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway is the first safety camera installation since the City of Portland and community safety advocates convinced the state Legislature in 2015 to pass HB 2621, which allows them to be used on High Crash Corridors in the Portland city limits. The City of Portland has been using other cameras to supplement speed enforcement for years, with police officers in vans enforcing speed limit violations. Portland also uses cameras to increase enforcement compliance with red lights at traffic signals.
Safety Cameras are a proven safety tool that can reduce dangerous speeding and save lives. The cameras are mounted along High Crash Corridors and when people driving past them exceed the posted speed limit, they capture photos and video for review by Portland Police. The Speed Safety Cameras issued warnings for the first 30 days of operation. An officer from the Portland Police Bureau will review violations before a citation is issued. The typical fine will be $160.
HB 2621 requires that money received from the speeding tickets can only be spent to cover the cost of the program or pay for safety improvements and programs on High Crash Corridors. Additional cameras will be installed during by spring 2017 at SE 122nd Avenue between Foster and Powell Boulevards, Marine Drive and Outer SE Division Street.

The Speed Safety Cameras program provides ample warning to people driving in the area. State law requires speed signage and speed reader boards to be installed on SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway warning drivers more than 100 yards in advance of the cameras in both directions. PBOT staff also conducted extensive outreach with local neighborhood associations as well as more than 75 businesses and community organizations to raise awareness of the changes along the corridor, before the cameras were installed.
In addition to the new cameras, PBOT is delivering three additional safety and maintenance projects on SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway beginning this fall that reflect the goals of the Southwest Community Plan and the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway High Crash Corridor Safety Plan.
Among the included projects:
The City of Portland has joined cities around the country in embracing Vision Zero – the notion that the death of even one person on our roads is one too many. Vision Zero prevents traffic deaths through smart policy and system design. Learn more about Vision Zero and Speed Safety Cameras by visiting www.visionzeroportland.com.
(September 19, 2016) Commissioner Steve Novick and Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) Director Leah Treat celebrated the first groundbreaking of the Fixing Our Streets program today at a base repair project at the intersection of SE 104th and Bush.
The Fixing Our Streets program is the result of the passage of Measure 26-173, a ten cent tax on motor vehicle fuels and Portland's first local funding source dedicated to street repair and traffic safety projects. Passed on May 17th, 2016, Measure 26-173 will raise an estimated $64 million over four years. $8.6 million of the Fixing Our Streets funding will go towards base repair projects, as per the project list that was passed by Portlanders. In May, the Portland City Council also unanimously passed a Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. This separate tax for vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds will also fund the Fixing Our Streets program.
Fixing Our Streets includes paving, base repair, sidewalks, crossings, neighborhood greenways, safe routes to school, high crash corridors, protected bike lanes and alternative street design projects that will all have a significant impact on neighborhoods across Portland. An interactive map of Fixing Our Streets projects can be viewed atmap.fixingourstreets.com.
Base repair projects fix those portions of a street that have failed from top to bottom. The goal of these base repair projects is to prevent the structural failure from spreading to other parts of the street. Thanks to Fixing Our Streets, PBOT will be able to increase the amount of base repair projects it does each year. The project at SE 104th and Bush is a high volume street one block south of Powell Boulevard, adjacent to Ed Benedict Park and the Portland Memory Garden and only a few blocks from Earl Boyles Elementary School.
In addition, Fixing Our Streets will allow PBOT to complete 12 major paving projects over the four years of the program. These projects add up to approximately 30 miles of streets that will be restored to very good condition.
"This groundbreaking is one of my proudest moments as transportation commissioner. For the past 30 years, Portland hasn't made the investments necessary to keep up with basic road maintenance and street repair," said Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick. "By approving the gas tax, Portlanders have made a huge statement: they would rather invest resources in improving our streets now, than let our streets continue to deteriorate. I'm proud of Portlanders and I'm proud of the extensive list of projects we're now going to be able to complete throughout the City."
"Today is the first day of better streets in Portland. Today, we are kicking off the Fixing Our Streets road repair and traffic safety program and delivering on our promise to Portlanders who were willing to tax themselves for better streets and safer neighborhoods," said Director Leah Treat. "When voters passed Measure 26-173 in May, they put their trust in PBOT and the City to do what we said and fix our streets. Today, we start proving their trust was well placed."
PBOT has negotiated an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation to collect the fuels tax on behalf of the City of Portland. Fuels tax collection will begin no later than January 1, 2017.
With budget authority from City Council, PBOT has already begun to work on small, but vital projects like the base repair project at SE 104th and Bush. The bureau is also working on the initial design work for the larger paving projects that are set to start next spring and summer.
Program details can be found at www.fixingourstreets.com.

(September 15, 2016) – Today, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) announced that Chris Warner will join PBOT as the bureau's new Assistant Director. Warner, currently Commissioner Steve Novick's Chief of Staff, will bring over two decades of government and public policy experience to the position. Warner will start on November 14th and will replace current Assistant Director Maurice Henderson, who has been named Mayor-elect Ted Wheeler's Chief of Staff and Director of Strategic Initiatives.
"I asked Chris to join PBOT, and I'm thrilled that he agreed to take this position," said Director Leah Treat. "As Commissioner Novick's Chief of Staff, Chris has been a partner with PBOT on some of Portland's most important transportation initiatives, including Vision Zero, Fixing our Streets, BIKETOWN and the overhaul of the Private-for-Hire system. Having served for six years as Governor Kulongoski's senior transportation advisor, he has key relationships around the state. This wealth of transportation expertise and government experience will be invaluable as PBOT moves forward with its mission to get Portlanders from place to place, safely, easily and sustainably."
"Chris is the ideal choice for this position," said Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick. "Over the last four years, I have consistently relied on Chris's policy expertise and sound political judgment. In fact, one of the key reasons that I requested to oversee the Bureau of Transportation is that I wanted Portland to benefit from Chris's broad transportation expertise. I extremely grateful for his wise counsel and his dedicated service to the people of Portland. He's an effective manager and has guided my office with a sure hand. I'm confident he will have an immediate impact at PBOT; the bureau is lucky to have him."
"Chris embodies the required knowledge, insight and experience from all levels of government I would expect this position to hold," said Alando Simpson, member of the Oregon Transportation Commission and Vice President and owner of Rose City Disposal and Recycling. "I'm looking forward to seeing what types of sustainable and innovative approaches he brings to the table for PBOT and most importantly, the City of Portland!"
Along with Governor Kulongoski and Commissioner Novick, Warner has held senior management and leadership positions with Senator Ron Wyden and Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith. He also worked as a legislative assistant responsible for transportation issues for US Representative Peter DeFazio. As Senior Transportation Policy Advisor for Governor Kulongoski, Warner successfully shepherded both the original 2005 ConnectOregon legislation and the 2009 Jobs and Transportation Act, the largest transportation in state history, through the Legislature.
To facilitate a smooth transition, Warner will remain with Commissioner Novick through early November. He will be succeeded by Katie Shriver as Commissioner Novick's Chief of Staff. Maurice Henderson will join Mayor-elect Wheeler's transition team starting November 1st.

Swedish criminal dies; assassination remains unsolved
By Matt Moore
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A petty criminal who was convicted and later acquitted in the 1986 assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme died Wednesday, leaving unsolved the slaying that has haunted Sweden for nearly two decades.
Christer Pettersson, who had a history of substance abuse, died of brain hemorrhaging and organ failure at the age of 57, said Inger Rosell, a spokeswoman for Karolinska Hospital.
Pettersson had been in a coma since Sept. 16, when he underwent emergency surgery for head injuries and never regained consciousness. The cause of the injures was unclear.
He was the only person ever brought to trial for the Feb. 28, 1986, slaying of Palme, the charismatic leader who was gunned down as he walked home from a movie theater with his wife. The killer fled down a dark alley.
The murder of Palme, who protested the Vietnam War, battled apartheid in South Africa and tried to mediate an end to the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, shocked Sweden and cast doubts on its cherished image as an oasis of tranquility and nonviolence, where even the prime minister could stroll through the capital without bodyguards.
Pettersson was picked out from a police lineup by Palme's wife, Lisbet. Though police never found the pistol used to kill the politician, Pettersson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1988.
The next year, he was acquitted after an appeals court cited a lack of evidence, including the murder weapon.

Osaka - Marion Bartoli defeated US Open champion Samantha Stosur of Australia to win back the singles title she won in 2006 at the Japan Women's Open tennis tournament on Sunday.
The French second seed, who eliminated Angelique Kerber of Germany in the rain-delayed semi-finals earlier in the day, went on to win the final with a 6-3, 6-1 victory in 74 minutes.
It was Bartoli's second title of the season, following her triumph at Eastbourne, and seventh career title, taking the winner's check of 37 000 dollars.
Stosur, who claimed her first WTA title in 2009 here, had earlier beaten Zheng Jie of China 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 6-3 in a morning semi-final, a match that lasted two hours and 36 minutes.
Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm gave local fans something to cheer about when she teamed up with China's Zhang Shuai to win the doubles title, beating American Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 7-5, 3-6, 11-9.

9/10 Mike Staff review, 21 March 2013
The 2011 debut LP of Guadalajara's Lorelle Meets The Obsolete passed right under our radars here at Norman until their stellar contribution to the impossibly in-demand 'Psych For Sore Eyes' 2x7" gave them a little bit of extra exposure. Now we not only have copies of that debut, but also their brand new offering 'Corruptible Faces'. Rather marvellous it is too.
From a base of dreampop and krautrock influences, LMTO agitate swirling walls of ethereal sound, fuzzy guitars and reverbed vocals drifting lazily around one another as the crisp, metronomic rhythm section keeps pushing ever onwards and upwards. Not only is it a superbly realised aesthetic, taking in the slow-burning psychedelia of Spacemen 3 and the murky post-punk post-modernism of The KVB and mixing in something altogether grittier, treblier and noisier than either of those.
What really sets this album apart, though, is that the songs are all superb - the pacing, the melodies, the arrangements; it's all done so thoughtfully and with such a clarity of vision that it's hard not to be instantly sucked into their weird, dreamy, trebly alternate universe of psychedelic post-punk pop.

Hello everybody. I have been trying to fully erase my history, but for some reason, Autocomplete URL's continue to be filled in for certain URL's as I enter them in the address bar. It seems as if the only URL's that aren't fully erased are from a certain time period (probably within a fifteen minute time period) about two weeks ago. I have downloaded numerous programs trying to erase them, I have done the Typed URL's registry edit, I have used Safe Mode to try and erase them, all to no avail, I have tried manually erasing them by clicking the drop down box and clicking the red "X" next to each link. I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 8. If anybody could provide me with alternate means of erasing these undeletable URL's, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

In Chile's Elqui Valley, intergalactic sightseeing is the star: http://nyti.ms/1RQRRpL
If there's a place in the world where you can actually reach out for the stars, it is Chile. Its privileged skies have caught the attention of scientists around the world that carry out important research daily.
The unique geographical and climatic conditions of the country have fostered the development of first-class astronomical projects. There are close to 40 international, university, public and private observatories in the country. Don't miss out on the opportunity to see the instruments and learn more about the work of these professionals!
Be taken aback with ALMA, the largest astronomical project on the planet and visit its control room and laboratories. Its unique telescope, made up of an array of 66 high precision antennas, is located close to 5,000 meters above sea level near San Pedro de Atacama.
Important international observatories have also been built near cities like Antofagasta, La Serena and Coquimbo, which can be visited during the day. Book a visit and be amazed by the state-of-the-art technology used to study the universe.
Alma is the world's largest astronomical project set on the ground. It offers different kinds of visits (public, media, educational, scientific and institutional). Registrations to visit are individual, and you need to fill out a form and register beforehand.
With an amazing appeal for both the scientific and academic world, this is a must for researchers. Tourists must book their visit a month in advance and it's advisable not to go with children under 6.
Known for being the most productive astronomical center in the world, star enthusiasts must book their visits online and ahead of time as they have limited capacity. Due to safety reasons, children under 5 are not allowed and it is advisable not to have heavy meals before your visit to avoid altitude sickness complications.
This astronomical scientific center is open to the public all year round with free tours to tourists on Saturdays for groups of less than 12 people.
It has free tours done by specialized guides who teach the secrets of the universe to no more than 8 people.
Owner of an infrared optical telescope system that allows observing the sky of both hemispheres, this is one of the scientific locations that causes the most interest in star enthusiasts, so visits must be booked 2 months in advance and children younger than 16 must visit with an adult.
Take tours guided by the observatory's technicians, which last around 3 hours and that must be booked a month in advance.

...or Fan Fest, as most call it. We've held it every year for the past seven. I think they took two or three years off before that and the fanatics went fanatical, so they reinstated this New York Mardis Gras for baseball fans. Held at the Jacob Javits Center, it's impossible to get to. Parking stinks. No subway. Right on 11th Avenue, which is a busy street. And I hear the City wants to spend something like a billion dollars to expand the place. I wonder where the common sense goes once somebody gets elected into office...
...or is named manager of a professional baseball team. Rick Churches, our leader, is supposed to direct our on-field activities. Yes, he's in charge of the clubhouse too. But Fan Fest? He ran the show, so to speak. One person related to the team (an intern - my team leads the league in interns) said Rick arrived at Fan Fest yesterday just after 5AM to make sure everything was in its proper place. Later, on WTEM's "Jock & Jam Show," Rick would say he had to vacuum the carpets, which had lots of dirt. He made it sound like a joke. Still...
...it's hard to imagine the manager of a baseball team, who's earning a million dollars this year, arriving so early just to make sure the team signs weren't cockeyed. Anyway, my writing these past days has turned quite sour due to my "issues" with Rick and his boss, GM Alvin Kirby. Unfortunately, we had a face-to-face meeting today. I'm still sour. Thank goodness this little get together was behind a curtain in an area where the players (the ones who showed up) could relax and get away from the fanatics who paid upwards of $50 for a day of standing in line for autographs, paying more money to buy memorabilia, and eating "stadium style" concessions (which meant they overpaid for hot dogs too). But my meeting with Rick & Alvin...
...no Chipmunks jokes. Although Alvin does have a pretty high-pitched voice. Enough. My super agent, Jack Perry, couldn't attend Fan Fest because, well, I'm not his only client. Arbitration hearings are coming up soon and he overprepares. I had requested Jack send someone very tall and thick in his place to keep Alvin & Rick, or Rick & Alvin, away from me. Jack sent Tina. His wife. Tina is 5 foot 4 and about 97 pounds. She's sweet as hell and beautiful. Not what I had in mind, however. I wasn't on the showfloor for more than 5 minutes before the "altercation" (what the papers have described it) occurred. It went something like this...
...I was shaking hands with new third base coach Willie Fernandez when a third hand grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. It sure as hell wasn't Tina's hand. The following exchange took place:
Rick: Cut the sh*t, a**hole!
Me: Huh?
Rick: You heard me you piece of sh*t! Cut the sh*t!
Me: If I'm a piece of shi*t and you want me to cut the sh*t, that means you want me to harm myself. My contract won't pay me if I do that. It says so on page -
Rick: Get out of here!
Alvin: Jimmy, we'd like you to leave.
Me: (here's where I showed them) Why?
Alvin: You're on suspension.
Me: Why?
Rick: For being an a**hole!
Alvin: That's not the reason.
Me: Thank you.
Alvin: A number of comments you've made on your blog that have criticized the organization were uncalled for. Comments about me. Your manager. We're suspending you without pay for two weeks.
Me: It's the off season. You're not paying me yet.
Tina: Should I call Jack?
Rick: Yeah. You can tell that piece of sh*t that I said -
Me: Rick, lay off her.
Rick: (pushing me) What are you gonna do about it, a**hole?
Alvin: Excuse us, Jimmy.
I didn't see them again. Alvin literally pulled Rick away from me and that was it. I didn't leave. Tina called Jack who called Mrs. Delaney, who asked that I post an apology to the fans. I'm not sure what I did to bother the fans yesterday, besides decline an invitation to appear on the "Jock & Jam Show." But I like Mrs. Delaney. I'm a proud athlete but, ask Vanessa, have no problem telling people when I'm wrong in my personal life. I still don't think I did anything wrong here. I certainly didn't push my manager, nor did I stand "in a confrontational style" as one paper put it. But, Mrs. Delaney asked, and I'm not above saying I'm sorry. So to all of our fans, I apologize. Please accept this.
Oh, I'm not suspended, by the way. Mrs. Delaney overrode Alvin's decision (thanks to Jack for his input there as well).
I'm waiting for Rick to apologize to me now. He has my number. He knows where I live. A basket of fresh fruit would be nice. Or cookies. I love cookies. Just no hot dogs. They're too expensive. He should know that. I think he's showing up early today for Day 2 of Fan Fest. I hear he's going to be cooking.
Fanatic Festival...

Uterine Sarcoma
Sarcoma refers to cancer that occurs in tissues of the body such as bone, fat, or muscles. Uterine sarcoma is a rare cancer that develops in the tissues of the uterus. Cancer that forms in the inner lining of the uterus is called endometrial cancer, a different and more common disease, which is discussed here.
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, 1,390 women will be diagnosed with uterine sarcomas.

I would change a few things about your collision detection routine.
First, I would store a radius instead of a diameter (why do the division constantly when what you really want is the radius? Just do the division once and you have the value to work from!).
Second, I would make the hole itself also have a radius member so you can remove what appear to be *magic numbers* (where is 17 from?). I know the radius is constant in this example, but it would be much cleaner and cooler to support any sized hole, right?
Now, your core collision detection is algorithm is doing more work than it needs to be (hypot uses the very expensive square root function) and is not an accurate representation of the object (I am assuming this is why you used the value 17 instead of the actual diameter value in your test?)
I think you can greatly simplify the algorithm to something more like:
* calculate the distance from the center of the hole to the center of the circle
* add to this value, the radius of the circle
* if this value is greater than or equal to the radius of the hole, we have a collision
