- Join related groups. Almost every industry is represented by a LinkedIn group. Find out where your target audience hangs out and submit a request to join their groups. Once your membership is approved, you can ask other members to complete the survey. You may need to check with the moderator of the group to see if it is okay to post your survey. You can also increase responses by offering an incentive, such as free premium content or a coupon for your product.
- Post questions and answers. One of LinkedIn's most valuable, yet often underused, features is LinkedIn Answers. Use this tool to pose questions and receive answers from your professional network. You can ask one specific question to gather feedback or share a link to your full survey.

Jack Reacher
$39.99 (Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy), Paramount
The evidence seems all but open-and-shut: A troubled Iraq War veteran drives a van to a Pittsburgh parking garage and picks off five random human targets. But the cops didn't factor in a certain someone from the sniper's military past: Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise), the baddest, most mysterious and hunkiest veteran to make the leap from page to screen.
Based on "One Shot," ninth in a series of 17 (and counting) novels by Lee Child, "Jack Reacher" is gritty enough, if you can forgive the Cruise-isms. Such as when every woman he passes smiles and gives him the eye. Or when this shrimp disables five guys without mussing his hair. Rosamund Pike must even say to Cruise at one point: "Could you put a shirt on?"
Pike plays a defense attorney who hires Reacher — conflict-of-interest be damned — as her lead investigator. Is she trying to stick it to her daddy, the hawkish D.A. (Richard Jenkins)?
Robert Duvall is a welcome presence as a folksy shooting range proprietor. Werner Herzog makes a great baddie — not sexy enough to be a Bond villain, but definitely creepy enough. Child makes an I'm-on-board cameo as a cop.
There's a making-of doc in which it is admitted that there was some doubt concerning the casting of Cruise (who is not a perfect physical match for Child's 6-foot-5 Reacher character), and Herzog reveals how he lost 20 pounds to play the villain: "Eat less."

TEMPE, Ariz. - Western Michigan softball exploded for 11 runs on 13 hits in 11-5 win over Cal State-Northridge on Saturday night at the Kajikawa Classic.
WMU took the lead early, scoring six runs over the first two innings, and never looked back. Caity Pixley went deep with two outs in the top of the first. Melissa Palmer led off the game with an infield single and scored on Pixley's first career home run.
Megan Stamm gave the Broncos book-end home runs against CSUN, hitting her first home run of the season and third of her career to lead off the top of the seventh. In the second inning Stamm started off WMU's four-run frame by drawing a lead-off walk.
Kelsea Cichocki (2-for-4) collected her first collegiate hit to keep things going in the second. Ivy Schaaf doubled up the middle to plate pinch runner Marleen Rodriguez. Palmer recorded her second hit in as many at bats, this time bringing hom Emma Bogart who pinch ran for Cichocki. Palmer would finish 3-for-5 at the plate against the Matadors.
Jenny Rohn kept the inning rolling with a base hit to left center, scoring Schaaf and Pixley registered her third RBI of the day on a ground out to cap the frame's scoring.
After Cal State-Northridge got on the board with a run in the third inning, WMU put up four more runs in the top of the fourth. Palmer singled and Rohn followed with her second double of the tournament to plate Palmer. She would laters scored on Mackenzie Ritsema's base hit to right field. WMU would get two more unearned runs in the inning.
The Matadors mounted a mini comeback with a run in the home half of the fourth, two in the fifth and another in the sixth to cut the Broncos' lead to 10-5 but Stamm's solo blast in the seventh closed any hope for CSUN.
Earlier in the day WMU fell to No. 22 Stanford, 15-0 in five innings. The Cardinal no-hit the Broncos and Palmer's lead-off walk in the fourth inning broke up Stanford's bid for a perfect game.
Western Michigan closes out its stay in Tempe on Sunday morning with a game against UC-Riverside at 11 a.m. ET.

Independent MPs and the Greens have welcomed Prime Minister Julia Gillard's surprise early announcement of the federal election date.
Lower house independents Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor say the September 14 date is in keeping with the agreement they made for a September or October election with Ms Gillard after the 2010 election.
The Greens, who are calling for fixed-term elections, have made known their preference for having plenty of notice of election dates.
Some Liberals are concerned the date will fall on Yom Kippur - the most solemn and sacred day of the Jewish year.
Opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull has tweeted he is "deeply disappointed that Julia Gillard chose to hold the election on Yom Kippur - the most solemn and sacred day of the Jewish year".
Influential Liberal MP Josh Frydenberg echoed the concern, taking to Twitter to say "this disenfranchises many Jewish Australians and is incredibly sloppy work".
Mr Windsor believes the early announcement will help provide certainty and stability to all sectors of the community but probably most importantly to business, which often puts off decisions due to not knowing when an election is to be held".
But Mr Windsor also expressed concern the next eight months might see both major parties in campaign mode while there was still a lot of work to be done by the parliament.
Mr Oakeshott agreed the challenge would be to spend the remaining nine sitting weeks focused on policies like the Gonski education reforms.
"Campaigning and electioneering throughout these nine final sitting weeks, while this detailed work is being done, should be seen for what it is, serving the interests of political parties, not the interests of the nation," he said in a statement.
The Greens say they will seek a multi-party commitment to adopt fixed-term elections. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's office has yet to respond to the announcement.
But shadow treasurer Joe Hockey is concerned about the state of the budget which a coalition government might inherit. "Election on Sept 14 is before the final budget outcome is revealed for the current year," he tweeted.
Mr Hockey also tweeted: "Julia Gillard is giving herself certainty about the election date but won't give Australian families certainty about *savings' impacts".
A spokeswoman for Mr Abbott says he is "in a private engagement" and his office had no further comment at this stage.
ACTU president Ged Kearney said voters are concerned about pay rates, job security and unfair rostering and they want to know where Mr Abbott stands on worker's rights.
"That's what people will want to know," she said in a statement.
"Will their jobs support them, their families and their future? That's what the discussion about secure work entails; ensuring fair pay, conditions and career opportunities."
Independent Senator Nick Xenophon says Ms Gillard's decision to name the election date is a win for democracy.
"We all now know when we will be put out of our misery and that's September 14th," he said.
Labor frontbencher Bill Shorten said the early date meant "no surprises and no excuses".
"It means all parties will have ample time to release their policies and have them fully costed so they can be considered by voters," he said during a live chat on the Herald Sun website.
Mr Windsor and Mr Oakeshott both had a heads-up from Ms Gillard on Tuesday night to let them know about her announcement.
They had also had some general discussion about election dates with the prime minister over lunch a few weeks ago.
"There's been a rolling conversation so I appreciate the heads-up," Mr Oakeshott said of the phone call.
ABC election analyst Antony Green said he didn't believe an election had been announced this far ahead before in Australia.
"Prime Minister Menzies announced ... an election three months ahead of the date in 1958 and 1961," he said.
"To my knowledge that's the longest we've seen."

If voters in Palmer vote "yes" on Nov. 5, to the Mohegan Sun casino development, our part of the state could face an environmental Chernobyl, and nobody seems to care.
We read articles all the time about the XL Pipeline, fracking, and global warming but nothing about the devastation that'll be unleashed on Palmer should Mohegan clear a high hill overlooking the entire Quaboag Valley and build a monster casino there.
Mohegan's hotel looming over the countryside is expected to be 150 feet higher than the hill it would sit on. The hill with its large wetland would be covered with asphalt parking lots creating extensive runoff and heat pollution. Pollution from the exhaust of thousands of cars, buses and service trucks a day would be trapped in the narrow valleys and cause all kinds of health problems such as asthma.
The nighttime glare of the casino would turn night to day confusing wildlife and turning locals into insomniacs. If the gaming commission chooses Palmer, this quiet, semi-rural town will look like a city leading to urban sprawl that's uncalled for, and will spread into some of the last pretty New England countryside and picturesque villages we have left in this state.
We lose millions of acres every year of precious farmland and wildlife habitat.
I asked the Pioneer Regional Planning Authority why regional planning isn't considered. "We have to change the laws in this state." So let's get going. In this age of global warming and species extinction what are we waiting for? Why are people so apathetic and oblivious to this potential environmental disaster right on our doorstep?

Letters to the Editor: Palmer casino would pose environmental threat

In rather sad news for those intrepid fans who are still playing Rebellion's Aliens vs Predator, which I should remind you all I actually seemed to enjoy more than most people, Sega has apparently scrapped any plans for further patching the console versions of the game. In a post on Sega's forums, community manager Clumsyorchid (and I really wish I could find his real name, because attributing a quote to 'Clumsyorchid' just feels so Twitter) stated;
I've just received a mail this AM regarding patches for the console versions of AVP and I regret to inform everyone that these have sadly been scrapped. I had previously made a claim that these were coming and at the time, this was very much on the table. For the console community, I apologize, as I know there are many features and updates that you'd like to see. I'll keep fighting internally for this to happen, but until I hear otherwise, there will not be a console patch for either Xbox or PS3.
He continued to say that he had no word on whether updates for the PC version had been sent to the great Filefront account in the sky, but he assumed that they would still be bursting out of Sega's chest and into our computers. What he didn't say was what the actual reason for this sudden cancellation was. It's puzzling since the latest map packs were released barely a week ago. We at Ripten can only speculate that it had something to do with a massive Neo-Conservative/Lizard Person conspiracy that may threaten our very existence.
What we do know is that, from the beginning, the console versions of the game seemed to get the short end of the stick- while the PC version has seen five patches and updates that actually helped to improve the game, the console versions only saw one. While I hate to see a good game with a fairly passionate, albeit relatively small, community get shafted, I can't help but drum my fingers together and say 'excellent' over my preferred gaming platform actually getting more support than the consoles for once. These victories are few and far between. Can we start talking about how the console market is dieing yet?
Oh we already are? Awesome.

Whether you like it or not, this week is the official jump-off point for holiday shopping mania. You can leave it to the last minute (as I unfortunately do), or plan ahead, shop smart and consider the best gifts for your littlest loved ones.
5 Great Gifts for Kids

"Bust It!" available online for $13 plus S&H.
3. Big Hugs Elmo
I had an Elmo toy as a kid. Many did. I brought it everywhere. The day I left it at Price Chopper was the most horrific mistake of my young life. Watching 'Sesame Street,' I burst into tears when Elmo came onscreen. I apologized to the TV. I was never the same.
Breed that same, crippling PBS loyalty with a super-soft Big Hugs Elmo (or another stuffed character from his or her favorite kids' show). Ideal for younger kids, between 18 months and 4 years old.
Price: $49 at Toys 'R Us .
4. Adopt an Animal at Rosamond Gifford Zoo
You brought your kid to the zoo and now "baby elephant" is #1 on his gift wishlist. Here's the closest way to making that wish come true. Rosamond Gifford Zoo uses "adoption" donations to feed, clean and maintain the enclosures of specific animals.

As far as she knows, tablets are just for learning, unless she catches you playing Candy Crush on your iPad.
Price: $150-$200, depending on how much you pimp it out with games, headphones, protective cases, etc.

"Better Content Wins"
But satellite television is phenomenally popular here. A recent independent survey of Iraq found that 97% Iraqis have access to satellite TV. That high figure is also true in most Gulf nations. But even in the poorest of areas you will find rooftops in the Arab, Persian and Turkish worlds teeming with satellite dishes. Some Bedouins even use car batteries to watch satellite TV in their tents!
While the technology is important, the content is even more vital. A reporter who monitors American television for Newsweek Magazine recently described how a video-website showing programs from two major television networks was receiving much more advertising revenue than YouTube. His headline stated, "The moral of the story: better content wins."
At SAT-7 we believe that better content does win more viewers, but it takes significant funding to make high-quality programs to for our more than ten million known viewers. We feel it's an investment worth making. SAT-7 seeks to make great content, with Christian stories, on the highly-accessible medium of satellite television, in order that, as our Lord Christ said of teaching in parables, many "might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn..." so Christ can heal them (Matt 13:13).
Thank you for your support of SAT-7!

Changing lives
Great teachers
Feb 22, 2005 by John M. Buchanan
I loved reading in this issue about great teachers, teachers who have a way of changing lives. I found it impossible not to think about the teachers who changed me. My best college teacher was Sid Wise, professor of government at Franklin and Marshall College. He was short, funny, brilliant and engaging. I had done well in high school without exerting myself, something teachers always pointed out to my parents: "Doesn't work up to his potential." I wrote my first blue book exam for Professor Wise with breezy self-confidence. My life changed when the tests were returned. Wise wrote: "Mr. Buchanan: Lincoln said, 'You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool me at all.' D-."

The number of places where one can smoke a cigarette without fear of being fined is rapidly diminishing, as a series of recent stories in NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune makes clear.
Should New Orleans continue to restrict smoking in the city? If so, where should smoking be prohibited? Let us know in the comments.
This month, Tulane University and the University of New Orleans both announced that their campuses will be tobacco-free as of August.
In the past week, Carnival Cruise Lines and Norwegian Cruise Lines -- both of which operate out of the Port of New Orleans -- declared their intent to ban smoking on stateroom balconies when the cruise season picks up again this fall. (Smoking inside cabins was already banned.)
In June, Gov. Bobby Jindal signed two smoking-related bills: one that prohibits smoking within 200 feet of elementary and secondary schools, and another that bans smoking within 25 feet of public entrances to state-owned buildings. The first went into effect June 9; the second takes effect in Jan. 2015.
A statewide smoke-free law passed in 2007 permitted smoking in bars, nightclubs and casinos. But some local bars like the Rusty Nail have enacted smoke-free policies. Others, like the Maple Leaf, have begun transitioning to become smoke-free venues. Cities around the country have instituted smoke-free rules in parks, boardwalks, beaches and pedestrians plazas.
What do you think?

Wide receiver Jason Avant pulled a hamstring trying to haul in Foles' first pass and is out. Avant is the Birds' No. 3 quarterback with Trent Edwards inactive.
Foles' first NFL completion went to tight end Clay Harbor for seven yards. His first touchdown, which put the Eagles ahead 14-10, was a 44-yard strike to a wide-open Jeremy Maclin with 12:52 to go in the third quarter.

Victims' Families First
We have repealed the death penalty in New Mexico, and now we want to put murder victims' family members first!
When murder happens it is the family of the victim that suffers the most and the longest-yet our criminal justice system is focused on the murderer. NM Repeal believes that it is time for the focus to return to the family to address the harsh realities of losing a loved one to murder.
That's why we support legislation that creates an innovative package of services for the families of murder victims.
Many family members who have lost a loved one to murder oppose the death penalty. You can find out a little bit about who they are here.
The state of New Mexico spent between $3 and $4 million per year on its capital punishment system. Death penalty prosecutions and appeals are complex, lengthy, and, as a result, extremely expensive. You can read more about the cost of the death penalty here.
Now that we have repealed the death penalty we believe the wise public policy choice is to use those savings to support the victims of crime and protect our communities. That's why our legislative sponsor, Rep. Gail Chasey (D-Albuquerque), has proposed the Catastrophic Crime and Family Restitution Program which would:
- Expand eligibility for a "homicide survivors program" within the current Crime Victims Reparation Commission that offers a range of comprehensive services to murder victims' family members including crisis intervention, grief counseling, child specific services, funeral assistance, crime scene cleanup, and emergency funds.
- Enact a new Employee Leave for Crime Victims that provides employee protections and encourages victim participation in court proceedings for crime victims by establishing a law to grant unpaid leave for victims when they must take time from work to attend court.
- Provide a survivors policy for child age 25 and under who have lost a parent to murder.

Scott Clow says being a good stand-up comic isn't just about having good material, but adapting that material to a particular audience.
He would know. Clow has been doing stand-up comedy for nearly 15 years.
Clow does solo performances, often at ConnXtions Comedy Club in Lansing, and is part of the Cream Dreams of Comedy troupe, which performs frequently near Flint.
Clow has worked in area radio and at Clear Channel in Detroit. He currently is a manager at John Ganton's Countryside Retirement Community.
Q: Did stand-up comedy appeal to you at an early age?
A: Oh yeah, definitely. I had a lot of things hidden under my mattress, and comedy albums were among them. I used to go to sleep listening to Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Richard Harris and Bill Cosby. "Go Carts" put me to sleep I don't how many times.
What was your first stand-up performance?
The first time was back in 1997. I did an open mic at ConnXtions in Lansing. ... I'd started by doing community theater and some high school shows. It was always something I wanted to try. One day I got the gumption up to see if I could, and got picked to do a five-minute spot.
After the show, the headliner of the night gave me some nice kudos.
A lot of people think they are funny, but how different is it to actually be on stage trying to make people laugh?
The biggest thing is you have to read your audience. I compare it to a golfer reading the green. Until you really get in front of the putt and look, you're not sure what it's going to take. For example, if the audience is full of 18-year-olds, I might tell the story on how I was kicked out of Michigan State. If it's more of a mixed audience, then I might tell the same story, but from my parents' point of view.
I always encourage people to give (stand-up) a try if they're interested.
What do you base your material on?
It's mostly on personal experiences. I do a lot on parenting — I've got two kids (Katie and Colin, ages 7 and 6) — so I do a lot of comparisons from my childhood to theirs. One thing I talk about is the differences in child safety. Kids now have to wear these five-point harnesses, where the only other people who wear them are astronauts and NASCAR drivers. When I was a kid, I remember riding in the front seat of my dad's pickup truck with no seat belt and a sucker in my mouth. If I made him mad, he'd slam on the brakes.
It's not stuff I'd perform for my grandparents. It does get a little blue.
What do you have coming up?
Right now, I'm doing rehearsals for a Center Stage Jackson production of "Leading Ladies" (Sept. 23 to Oct. 2), which is nice because it's something my kids can come and watch. They'll see me in drag, which is something every kid should probably see of their dad.
I'm also one of the opening acts for Michael Winslow (at the Michigan Theatre on Sept. 10).

Should We Be Wary of Political Dynasties?News at Home
Senior fellow emeritus at the Brookings Institution and Distinguished Research Professor at the George Washington University, Hess formerly served on the White House staffs of Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford. He has become a foremost authority on media and government, and is author of America's Political Dynasties(1966, Doubleday; 1997, Transaction). In a brief discussion with Hess, he raised a few issues to remember when thinking about America and its relationship to our political families. I here list a few of them:
I. Last name alone rarely guarantees political success.
Both of Franklin D. Roosevelt's children tried unsuccessfully to launch political careers. Candidates, no matter what their last name, are held accountable by the voters and are judged largely on the quality of their service.
But a famous last name can provide a stepping stone much the way other seemingly impertinent attributes can. Abraham Lincoln's early local political success owed much to his "rough-and-tumble" fighting prowess. Others have relied on good looks, political machines and acting skills.
II. Political dynasties are not symptomatic of an unhealthy democracy.
Hess's research suggests that public servants associated with political dynasties have served their constituencies just as well as individuals without that name recognition (he defines dynasty as a family with three generations of politicians). It isn't as though we've been left with a collection of substandard politicians with recognizable last names.
Moreover, political dynasties are not indefinite. New ones are constantly emerging, and others fading out. Sometimes they happen by accident and sometimes they are deliberate and carefully planned. Hess argues that Joe Kennedy groomed his children to become political leaders, while the Bushes largely stumbled upon the political scene.
More recently, women and minorities have entered the dynastic struggle for political power. On the national level, Nancy Pelosi's family has all the characteristics of a political dynasty, and Jesse Jackson has started one of his own. Latinos around the country have political dynasties at a local level.
III. They've been here since the start.
Dynasties are not always household names. They generally operate on a very local level with power passed on in the same way as other family-run businesses. A name becomes something of a brand that voters learn to trust. When that trust is breached, or a new family challenges the old, then the dynasty is replaced. Tafts were elected for generations in Ohio, but that has changed recently.
Starting with the first congress in 1789, one finds the beginnings of several political dynasties. It's hard to like political dynasties, but they are inevitable, and built into American democracy. Some find the mythology of America's ruling families entertaining or intriguing, others are sickened by a system that has monarchical implications.
In the unconventional case of appointments, it's hard to say who deserves what. In a democracy, the person receiving the most votes (or electoral votes) deserves the position in question. Political appointees unavoidably circumvent the voting process. If chosen, Caroline Kennedy has two years to prove to the people of New York that she was a worthy choice, otherwise she will be replaced. That's the beauty of the system.

Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Carolina's Steve Smith, Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Marquis Colston. Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has put the clamps on each of those top-flight receivers this season.
In fact, in nine games against those six players the combined stat line is as follows: 24 catches for 193 yards and a score. That averages out to less than three catches and 21.4 yards a game, far below the per-game averages for that group of elite players, which includes four 1,000-yard wideouts.
This weekend, another 1,000-yard receiver will test his luck against the Defensive Player of the Year-snubbed Revis.
San Diego's big (6-foot-5) and talented (1,167 yards and nine TDs) wideout, Vincent Jackson, says that he plans to give the 5-foot-11 Revis all that he can handle in the AFC Divisional playoffs on Sunday evening in California.
"I've been facing all kinds of corners," Jackson told reporters. "There are a lot of good football players in this league. Obviously he's getting more of the attention right now, but I think press coverage is something I can split."
While Jackson thinks he'll get the better of Revis, the always outspoken Rex Ryan has the utmost faith in his Pro Bowl corner.
"Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, Terrell Owens... they're all big receivers," Ryan said. "It doesn't matter, he covered them all."

MUSKEGON — Authorities are investigating an incident in which shots were fired at a Muskegon home Sunday while the residents, including children, were inside.
No one was injured during the incident that occurred around 5:20 p.m. at a house at 345 W. Grand. Police say at least three shots hit the front of the home after an argument involving several people in the front yard.
Muskegon Police Detective Capt. Andy Olson said he believes the victims and suspects knew each other.
"It's not a random act. There was some kind of argument that led to shots being fired," he said.
The suspects fled in a vehicle after the shooting. No arrests had been made, Olson said.
The shooting incident was reported by residents of the home.
"Several people were in the house when the incident occurred. There also were children in the house at the time," Olson said.
The investigation continues.
"We're still trying to gain cooperation (from witnesses)," Olson said. "We're still talking with people."
Anyone with information about the shooting incident is asked to call Muskegon Police at 724-6750.

Bungie Details New Multiplayer Modes For Halo: Reach Beta
Bungie gives us the scoop on the new and creative modes that will accompany traditional Halo multiplayer for the upcoming Reach beta.
In a recent chat with multiplayer designers Lars Bakken and Derek Carroll, I note that some of these modes are not the kinds of things you'd see in a Halo title, and whether their existence is proof of a sort of, "let's go crazy by throwing all of these new modes' mental. Carroll replies, "I don't think we went crazy on purpose to go out with a bang, although we certainly are. We just said, 'okay, Slayer, CTF, King of the Hill, those are great, let's lock those up and put them aside. Now what else? What can we have?' And then came up with some fun stuff to do in the space."
Bakken describes the basic distribution of modes-to-maps with, "You'll see variety on Powerhouse or Sword Base because those are our 'Slayer maps' or our 'party game maps.' We can't say much about Boneyard or Invasion, and yea, Overlook is specifically for Generator Defense (or 'Network Test 1 Beta' as we call it)." With that in mind, here's a basic breakdown of the new modes that the Halo Reach multiplayer beta will be introducing.
The official Bungie description is, "a new 'party' game [...] where the goal is to collect and capture the most skulls." Basically, players drop a skull upon death, and you just want to scoop that skull and carry it to a designated skull deposit zone (that actually moves around the map). You can carry multiple skulls, but here's a warning: if you're killed before scoring, then you drop all the skulls you had. In fact, Carroll points out, "you have a nice navpoint over your head showing everyone in the game how many skulls you are carrying. When you have ten, then that actually shows up as a flashing star or VIP waypoint, to let everybody know you're the one guy to go after."
Though, unlike carrying the flag, Carroll points out, "there are no downsides to skull carrying other than the danger of dying and turning over your hard-earned loot to the enemy." In fact, you have full access to weapons and abilities while skull-slinging. Community Director Brian Jarrard provides a pro-tip with, "Sprint is super-useful for Headhunter -- it helps close that distance between your foot in the zone and scoring, versus dying just short of the goal and losing all of your skulls."
By default, Headhunter is a free-for-all affair, though Carroll says, "There is [also] a team version of Headhunter that allows for a bit more specialization: one guy can snipe and suppress, while his teammate scoops up skulls and sprints to the score zone."
When discussing Headhunter's genesis, Carroll quips, "So I technically wasn't around when Headhunter started on Reach, but there have been games like Headhunters in other first-person shooters and games, and this is just our spin on it." He concludes, "There's nothing quite like almost scoring 10 skulls and being struck down, and having to watch those skulls bounce away from your dead body."
This is, "another 'party' gametype that is sort of like Territories meets with Capture the Flag." That is, both teams are racing to capture four neutral flags that spawn on the map and successfully return them to their respective (and active) capture points. Carroll elaborates, "Stockpile flags appear randomly throughout the map at pre-set flag-spawn points. Experienced players will learn the ten or so spots they can appear in the Beta maps, but they won't be able to predict which ones will be used at any given time."
It's worth noting that points aren't scored instantly once you drop a flag down. You actually have to have the flag at your capture point once a timed countdown has passed. Carroll notes, "Every 60 seconds, any flag inside the capture point will be scored for that team -- even ones being carried by enemies!" He further describes the time breakdown as, "The clock is always running, so in a ten minute game, it scores ten times. So it's the bottom of every minute. [...] There's definitely an ebb-and-flow, and a real spike in intensity and an, 'oh my God get the flag over there' type of feeling." Bakken further points out the time pressure by noting, "If you see the other team holding three flags and there's 30 seconds left, you better start sending a couple dudes over to at least get them out of the capture point when the time runs out."
In terms of personal tactics and tips, Carroll jokes that his teammates who tend to be Slayer-players will be busy shooting each other while he himself serves as flagrunner; Bakken meanwhile plays more on the defensive side. Jarrard details a particularly handy tactic for defense players like Bakken: "Sometimes, depending on the map, I find pretty good success with either getting a shotgun, or a sword, and Armor Lock, and lurk on top of my flag spot. How you pair your weapons and Armor Abilities can radically affect how well your team scores or defends."

ATLANTIC CITY — The Atlantic City School District owes the state pension fund nearly $3 million after the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund ruled an early retirement incentive program used by the school district was illegal, according to a report by PressofAtlanticCity.com.
The early retirement program allowed teachers to receive an "enhanced payout" for their accumulated sick time if they resigned between July and October 2009, the report said. Twenty-seven district employees took advantage of the program, the report said.

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Former Mayfield Heights Mayor Gregory Costabile could lose his law license for two misdemeanor ethics violations he plead guilty to early last year.
The Ohio Supreme Court's disciplinary counsel filed a complaint (see below) in March, accusing Costabile of engaging in professional misconduct when he failed to report
income he received from two companies doing business in the city. The court's Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline is now reviewing the complaint.
The counsel is seeking disciplinary action that could range from a public reprimand to disbarment.
Costabile said in a phone interview he is "not concerned" about losing his license, but refused to comment further since the matter is pending.
He was mayor for seven years before resigning in February 2013, a day after pleading guilty to two counts of filing false income statements.
As required by Ohio law, Costabile did not disclose to the Ohio Ethics Commission $15,000 he made from Seagull Development Corp. in 2010 and a $100,000 payment he received from Hidden Woods LLC in 2005, according to the disciplinary counsel's complaint.
The amount Seagull paid Costabile was three times the amount the company paid his neighbors to include their land in a parcel that could be used for natural gas drilling, former Mayfield Heights Law Director Leonard Carr told The Plain Dealer last year.
Carr said Hidden Woods Developer Donald Barr paid Costabile the $100,000 for a portion of his residential lot.
Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Paul Hebert sentenced Costabile, who has been a lawyer for two decades, to 180 days in jail, but suspended the entire sentence. He served one year of probation.
Costabile was also ordered to pay $1,000 in fines, and restitution to the Ohio Ethics Commission and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office for $15,000 and $6,000, respectively. According to the Supreme Court complaint, he paid the fines.
Rick Dove, secretary to the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline, said Costabile has until May 19 to respond to the complaint. It will then be assigned to a three-member panel who will make a recommendation to the board for review by the Supreme Court. Dove said that process could take a year or longer.
Costabile said there has been no decline in business at his downtown Cleveland law firm, Gregory S. Costabile Co LPA, during the past year and a half as a result of the charges.
He blames former Mayfield Heights Law Director Leonard Carr for part of his legal troubles.
"People that know me and know what I'm about and know my reputation, they understand the things that unfolded involving [former Law Director] Leonard Carr are lacking in merit," Costabile said.
He refused to expound on his qualms with Carr, who testified against Costabile before a grand jury in the case and said he reported Costabile's case to the disciplinary counsel.
"For Costabile to blame his troubles on me is both idiotic and disingenuous," Carr said. "His consistent denials and failure to take responsibility for his own actions, say more about his integrity than anything."
Current Mayor Anthony DiCicco, who was appointed as mayor when Costabile resigned, chose not to reappoint Carr as law director in January. DiCicco could not be reached for comment.
Carr said he was fired for being a "whistle blower."

rate this movie:
Probably the last Hellfire Club, though the concept will live on in......... All fights except the first one take place in private, and , as we've come to expect from the Hellfire Cub, the women end up naked (except in the fourth fight).
1. Rosa vs Teresa (17:11 mins)
Rosa and Teresa are two very atractive girls who face each other for a grudge match. It becomes a very noisy and exciting scrap.
2. Miss V. vs Stephanie (17:20 mins)
Miss V. v Stephanie It's back to the Hellfire Club now for a black v white confrontation. These two well-built women give it all they've got, right up to the final bell. A very noisy, very abusive affair.
3. Kitty vs Tyler (16:52 mins)
This is an intense battle between two shapely and energetic good-lookers. It's hard and gritty with plenty of noise - and curvy flesh gets some vicious slapping!
4. Roxie vs Diamond (6:18 mins)
5. Samantha vs Donna (16:57 mins)
Two younger women let loose at each other in a hair-pulling slugfest which soon turns into a one-sided beating-up! See it!
6. Ecstacy vs Kara (17:53 mins)
There's no love lost between this pair of swarthy beauties. They're hard women and they've come to fight! It's a noisy hand to hand battle, and an ideal climax to a memorable tape!

Bloggers' Lament
1 comment:
Well, *I* enjoyed the video and message! Made me smile :)
Now, I just discovered a new AM talk channel in our local market. I could only listen for a few minutes because I get fascinated for a few minutes then tune out over one phrase, my bad, but if remember correctly, the fellow was talking about intellectual anarchy. I'd LOVE to know what that might be, but I don't dare find out, by BP is already an issue.
Honestly, how do people listen to that?

Who knew the Federal Corrections Institute in Fairton has a factory?

Why can't more institutions do this?
Why can't the Cumberland County Jail do it?

We know a guy who has three children and hasn't paid enough in child support to pay for school clothes.

"Hi, Mr. Hummel,
"The 3rd grade students from Mrs. Berry's and Ms. Kristovich's class,
along with the students from Mrs. McGowen's class at Broad Street School, are pleased to announce that we
planted beautiful mums at the WWII Memorial Monument.
"It is such an honor to beautify this monument.
"The students studied the history of the memorial and a brief history of World War II. They truly understand why they do this and it makes me smile.
"Students take pride in their hard work and they will always remember their contribution to their community, the memory of those that died defending our freedom, and the families that lost loved ones during WWII.
"This community project began last May and has proudly continued with a new group of students this year.
"We would like to thank Dr. Jones, the Bridgeton Board of Education, Ms. Rebecca Guess and the administration of Broad Street School for supporting us in this project and allowing us the time to be a part of our city and its history.
"Our special thanks to the maintenance department for weeding, cleaning, edging, and all the preparation they assisted us with. It is such a big help.
"We also wish to thank the moms, dads, and community volunteers that gave of their time, talents, and flower donations.
"We could not do this without you!
"Peg, Chrissy, Bev, Jerry, Anita, and my class … the flowers are beautiful.
"You have to stop by w/our thank you notes!
"All the flowers were purchased through donations and we are so thankful for that.
"We even had four flags replaced. It is a great experience for everyone involved.
"The students also had a visit from Mr. Warren Robinson, who didn't even know they were planting and it made their day even more memorable.
"Mr. Robinson stopped to share how proud he was of the students and what they do.
"He, a veteran himself, never mentioned it to the students, but shared with them the names on the memorial that he knew.
"He also gave the class a copy of his book, 'My Tour of Duty in World War Two,' just for them.
"He shook their hands and they were thrilled to have met him.
"Thank you, Mr. Robinson, for stopping by to meet them.
"Thank you.''

|[TenTec] Transmatches/Tuners/Etc.
|email@example.com (H. M. 'Puck' Motley W4PM)
|Mon, 22 Sep 1997 13:49:18 -0700
Clark, Maybe the Ultimate and SPC were not forerunners of the T but I never saw a T until after that Murch Ultimate came out. Other manufacturers came out with the T, which was less costly to produce and worked as well at matching a wide range of impedances as the Ultimate did. I, like you, had a Murch and converted it to the SPC circuit. I felt however that the SPC arrangement was a bit too touchy to adjust. If someone has information of a T network tuner sold commercially prior to the Murch Ultimate it would be interesting to know what it was. I don't remember any, but then sometimes I forget which exit to take off Rt 95 when I'm driving home in the evening! As to harmonic attenuation, that's hardly a concern these days as most rigs are quite adequate in this area. A PI or series inductor L are both loss pass in nature and would be better than a T or an Ultimate which are both high pass types. The SPC is basically an Ultimate with that third cap relocated to give more of a band pass rather than high pass effect. I really prefer the reversible L that Ten Tec uses. I've never seen a comparison of this type of tuner with a T as to losses but I'd suspect an L would be better as it has one less component. I also like the fact that there is only one setting that will give a match with an L. A T, an Ultimate and an SPC will match with any number of settings. Some settings are better that others as to Q and power loss. I can never remember whether I should have used the setting with the most capacitance or most inducatnce, etc. With an L you just set it and go! I'm sure you're right about the PI networks in the old tube rigs. I just pulled some numbers out of the air. My DX 20 would load power into everything from a light bulb, to a window screen to a short piece of wire lying on the floor. It even worked quite well on an off-center fed dipole I had fed with 75 ohm twin lead. 73, Puck, W4PM -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/tentecfaq.htm Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm

Waitrose build shows need for Swindon southern by-pass
The sudden closure of Foxham Way, the main road through the Wichelstowe housing development in South Swindon between Old Town and the M4 motorway, demonstrates the need for the road to remain open in the future – even though it is designated one day to become a bus only route.
The massive traffic jams that started on 2 December, causing huge congestion up Kingshill from the west, along Bath Road, Devizes Road, and up Croft Road from the south, illustrate how important the road has become in a relatively short time.
The rush hour tailbacks will continue until mid-January whilst essential work on the construction of new Waitrose supermarket, right next to Foxham, Way takes place – as pictured above and below by Richard Wintle of Calyx
The road connects Redpost Drive at Rushey Platt in the west and Croft Road. Hundreds of drivers now use the road every day to by-pass traffic heading for the town centre and Old Town in order to get to work in parts of Old Town, Wroughton, East Swindon and to one of the town's biggest employers, Nationwide on Pipers Way.
To get round the congestion drivers from the west of the town have also been taking a route across Junction 16 of the motorway and through Wroughton which has seen an increase in traffic because of the road closure.
Mill Lane which provides a route from Old Town down to Wichelstowe is also closed. However Foxham Way will reopen with a temporary set of traffic lights over the Christmas break during the two week builders shut down.
While not compulsory, it is common practice to display closure dates with road side signs. A spokesman for Swindon Council apologised for the lack of advance notice of the road closures. He said: "A new roundabout is being built at the junction of Mill Lane and Foxham Way as part of the work to deliver the new Waitrose supermarket, which has meant the road has had to be closed for safety reasons.
"The work will go on until the middle of January next year, although the road will re-open over the Christmas period with traffic controlled by temporary lights from 5pm on December 20. It will be closed again from 10am on 2 January."
However, the question remains, will Swindon Council's Highways Department one day decide to close Redpost Drive, before or after a western link road is built? The signs are in place on the road, but are not yet enforced.
Current plans envisage a road from Wichelstowe going through a yet-to-be-built tunnel under the M4 and emerging at Hay Lane, opposite Blooms Garden Centre. All traffic going from or through Wichelstowe with destinations to the west or north would then have to travel via Junction 16. So, instead of a direct route using Redpost Drive, drivers would have to go west in order to return east into Wichelstowe, or exit Wichelstowe via Croft Road and through the already busy Old Town route to get to the centre of Swindon Centre or all points to the north.
Swindon highway planners have been consulting on changes to the main roads to be built through Wichelstowe. Originally two routes were planned, Foxham Way through the houses, and another faster route running parallel to the M4 to the tunnel. However, the planners want to delete the fast route and push back the time when the tunnel would be required to be built by.
Redpost Drive is not part of this consultation but its closure would have a major impact on the overall highways access picture.
Wroughton residents are campaigning for the release of the technical evidence supporting the proposed changes with little success so far.
Amanda Woodhead of the People of Wroughton Facebook page said: "I would hope that the council keeps Redpost Drive open until the western link road is built and beyond. However residents are being kept in the dark on road capacity and the requirement of the appropriate highway infrastructure for Wichelstowe.
"We also want to know details of the traffic flows throughout each phase of the Wichelstowe house building programme.
"It's really important for the council to get the Wichelstowe roads right because it will have a considerable impact on communities further afield in the long term. But we're unable to properly discuss their proposal because the council isn't providing the right information."
The changes to the Wichelstowe road layout are expected before Swindon Council's planning committee in the Spring, possibly at the February meeting.

Does anyone share my sense of irony at the sight of all those tractor trailer drivers crying rivers of tears over the price of motor fuel?
Let's look at some basic facts:
1. Trucks lead the assault on railroads as the transportation vehicles for our goods.
2. Trucks have lead to the expansion of roads, which causes many more problems with urban sprawl and destruction of undeveloped areas.
3. Trucks destroy roads and bridges much faster than cars.
4. Trucks add to the congestion of already crowded roads and highways.
5. Trucks wreak havoc on innocent car drivers and occupants with the kinetic energy they bear when causing and participating in collisions.
6. Trucks are very polluting and inefficient users of fuel. Trains can do it much better.
7. Trucks actually are a major cause of the fuel shortages their drivers complain about.
8. Europeans pay 2-3 times what we do for fuel. They subsidize us.
9. I do no like trucks!
Truckers remind me of the old saw about a parent killer asking for mercy and sympathy since he is now an orphan. Grow up and take a train. Or at least slow down and stop tailgating me.
Any thoughts?

Should teachers be able to request that kid's put on deodorant?
Teacher Asks Kids to Wear Deodorant to School & Causes a Big Stink
Should teachers be able to send home notes to parents that touch on the more "intimate" aspects of a child's growth? Such as, you know, putting a sports bra or some deodorant on a young kid? That's the question asked by a mother on the Mouthy Housewives blog on The Huffington Post. Laments the mom:
My daughter is 9-years-old! I am NOT going to give her a complex about her teeny tiny boobs or a little bit of sweat. I don't think it is the teacher's place AT ALL to bring up bras and deodorant. In my opinion, it is a parenting issue.
Woah, hold up, lady! Let's go over the facts here before you send your braless child to school to stink up the classroom.
Your 9-year-old darling is spending eight hours or longer with people who are NOT YOU. You see your daughter when she wakes up, right after a bath or shower, and when she gets home, which is probably right before she bathes or showers. You aren't gonna get the full blast of middle-of-the-day or after-recess underarm perfume like her teachers and other students are.
Sorry, but a 9-year-old is not too young to be introduced to the rituals of womanhood -- not today, when girls are hitting puberty younger and younger. If your daughter gets her period at school and her teacher writes a note asking you to make sure that she has pads, are you going to squawk and cry, "Not my 9-year-old!" Hello?
Nobody is saying to teach your kid to be ashamed of her body. I don't think a bra (if needed) or a swipe of deodorant is any more encouraging a child to be ashamed of her body than is a good scrubbing with a bar of soap or flossing or brushing of teeth. It's basic hygiene and body care.
Additionally, the teacher who sent the note home to the touchy mom was pregnant -- which is WHY she suggested deodorant for those who might need it. Because she doesn't want to puke in the classroom if she gets nausceous from your child's aroma (which I'm sure charms your nose, but probably not everyone's). She's there to teach your kids. Get it?
Must we make everything tiny request into a big stink, parents? If your kid would be traumatized by a little deodorant, then I have no idea how he or she is going to get through the real trials and tribulations of life. Phew!
Should teachers be able to request that kid's put on deodorant?
They do it all the time where I work. Kids can be cruel and from my experience, most of the teachers that come to me to talk to the kids are more concerned about peer pressure than anything else.
Quoting VisionSeeker:
They do it all the time where I work. Kids can be cruel and from my experience, most of the teachers that come to me to talk to the kids are more concerned about peer pressure than anything else.
I think a teacher is well within their rights to ask for a child to wear deaodorant.
Ugh this is an issue I faced this past year. We had a 9th grade girl who just stunk. We had to keep the door open in the classroom & sit her by the door (she didn't know she was sitting their on purpose) to try to make it so the smell wasn't too bad. Even then if you got close to her it'd about make you puke. It was awful! We actually brought it up to a guidance counselor & an assistant principal, because no only was it making students (& us teachers) uncomfortable, it was making it so this girl did not have anyone who would talk to her or sit by her & be friendly. I'm sure the poor girl thought it was because no one liked her, but in truth it was because if you got too close you got sick. We were told though that there was nothing we could do. They said it was not the schools job to make sure students wore deodorant & showered it was the schools job to provide the kids with an education.
I just think it's really sad because it wouldn't take much to change that girls life for the better!

The Chiefs ended their season a few minutes ago, wrapping up an 8-5 win over Ottawa.
They won the last three games of the four-game set, and finished the season 64-80, in fifth place in the IL North, ahead of only the Lynx.
Pat Mahomes got the win, and Kevin Barker went 3-for-4 with a home run, his 18th of the season. Michael Vento and Wayne Lydon also homered.
Curtis Thigpen and Ray Olmedo, who spent most of the season in Syracuse, are already on the Toronto roster, and the Jays have the option of having up to 40 players through the rest of the season, so watch for several more players to get major league tryouts in the coming weeks.
The Chiefs open the 2008 season on the new grass at Alliance Bank Stadium on April 3 against the Louisville Bats.
See you at the ballpark!
