Zimmerman started the entire thing and continued it until Trayvon was dead
Zimmerman went looking for trouble with Trayvon. He took a loaded gun and stalked Trayvon. Why would he do that? Zimmerman made a conscious choice to take a loaded gun to go after a black teenager. Why? Trayvon tried to get away and Zimmerman, instead of going home, or calling 911 again kept going after Trayvon even after the dispatcher told him not to. Why? Zimmerman found Trayvon and left his car to approach the teen. Why would he do that? He got close enough that there was a physical scuffle and he took out his loaded gun and killed Trayvon. Suddenly Zimmerman feared for his life? Really? He did all the stalking, and the chasing, and the killing. And he did it from the beginning to the end of the incident.

When a problem gets to the President's desk
it means no one has been able to fix it, because if they had it would never reach his desk. That means that when the President has a problem to solve there is no way to do it in the normal sense of actually fixing it.
It means he has to make decisions based on his choice of what the best way to deal with it is. It also means that there will always be people who are not happy with the choice he makes. It means he has to weigh the options and make choices based on his character and his humanity and his experience and down to doing what he believes is the best and right choice.
He has the Joint Chiefs of Staff and he has his Cabinet members and he has his Chief of Staff who runs the White House Presidential Staff and the advisers he chooses and respects. So he has plenty of brain power and real experience at hand working directly under him. But in the end he has to make a the hard choice on how to deal with every dilemma that comes to him. And every problem he deals with is a dilemma and requires some serious analysis and hard and layered thinking.
Americans will never all agree that the decisions the President makes are universally perfect. They can't be by their very nature. Progressives will never be happy with conservative choices and the same goes for the other side. A good President must approach the job by making the best choice for the country. The best choice is not always the easiest nor is it always popular. But in the long run it benefits the country as a whole, whether right away or many years into the future.
I imagine there aren't any easy dilemmas that land on the President's desk. By definition a dilemma is always a mixed bag. It seems strange to think that only 44 American men in our history have had the job, and some of them have made very harsh choices that actually benefited this country profoundly even though at the time many Americans suffered. Abraham Lincoln choosing to go to war rather than have the country break up is such a decision. I also know that through history the job of the American President has become more extensive in range, broader in scope and more powerful.
Who we choose as President is of vital importance because as we know in the short history of the 21st Century, who the President is makes all the difference in how our country thrives and flourishes, or languishes and declines. We've seen and lived through the most destructive Administration in our lifetimes. Our country is harshly divided now, being torn apart by it's citizens. The President's job is probably harder now than when times have been good. We need to know this because we are the country. Our choices right now are vital to the life or demise of what our country has been up to now. I believe this election is a distinct fork in the road to our future and that who wins will decide what direction our future takes. I believe we need to be more Presidential in our thoughts about our country. We need to vote for what is right for all of us, even those who would and will vote against us and our welfare.

One reason racism is alive and well is that it's a political and corporate agenda to keep it so
I've been asking myself why is it that the murder of Trayvon Martin has become such a political issue? We've become so desensitized to our present extreme divide over all issues along partisan lines that it just seems like this issue being handled in the same way feels almost normal.
Here we are having discussions about racism and how it's still widespread and alive and thriving as if it's groups of ordinary people like the teabaggers are keeping it savagely alive and rampant. Is it possible that those groups of people aren't really all that powerful and that it's still with us because it's a political football and a corporate moneymaker? President Obama is just the catalyst that let the monster out of the closet where it should have stayed cowering in the darkest corner the way it was before he came along. I remember clearly after Palin was unleashed on us and she used racist dog whistle language the teabaggers came to life like a deadly plague because politicians like Dick Armey, with the backing of corporatists like the Koch brothers started organizing, busing in and fanning the flames of racist fear and hate that teabaggers have.
What I remember about Obama being elected is that he was actually elected by the great majority of people in this country. That means that one hell of a lot of white Americans cast the vote to make him our President, yet almost immediately the media, and especially FOX started giving credence to the teabaggers and driving that racist wedge into the American consciousness. Hell, Hannity and Beck actually personally lead the mobs at times, becoming the rallying point of insane marches and events. The teabaggers were led by the nose to do the political bidding of their new masters. They were happy to finally vent their rage.
I can't help asking myself why this criminal case is splitting down political lines. Why are the usual suspects, like Hannity and Limbaugh aligning themselves exactly like we knew they would. Surely the shocked reaction to the murder of any child crosses the political divide doesn't it? Yes, but not if it's a black child being murdered? My answer is yes, even then. The very same majority that elected President Obama will have the same shocked and disgusted reaction to this murder.
Part of the issue is the law that allows people like Zimmerman to get away with this crime. This law is a politically motivated law which is a darling of the NRA agenda. They want it, paid for it and will fight to keep it alive, and part of how the NRA fights to expand their sales is to buy politicians who make it law. This isn't racism. This is corporate standard operating procedure to further their power and their bottom line. They use their power over the media and the politicians they've bought and paid for to muddy the waters and make it look like the racism is coming from the population, when in reality it's something they've carefully cultivated for generations.
It's not realistic to believe that the same people who voted for the first Black President have suddenly awakened to what they did and are now against him because he's Black. That's nuts. And I think it's also completely false. I also think that if we pay close attention to the overall picture without getting bogged down in the details of this story we can see that this issue is being manipulated to keep us divided and fighting along racial lines. I believe George Zimmerman is racist, but his actions are those of a coward who is scared shitless of black people acting out because there's a law that protects him now. The story of our reaction should start with that and end with that as far as condemning it. And everyone, Republican or Democrat should be reacting in the same way. This is a crime.
The fact that the reactions have fallen along political lines give it all away in my opinion. It's just too obvious to ignore, because the facts are all right there, staring us in the face.
We either waste time fighting each other as they want us to, or we see the truth and fight the real enemy. I believe the majority of the people in this country are not racists. That they may have some racial stereotype ideas is plausible, but in general I believe most Americans, regardless of their misguided feelings about race aren't violent deranged racists who want to kill children or who want to defend that murder. And I think we need to stand up and say so in this latest tragic opportunity for a dialogue about race.

John McCain unleashed another version of Pandora's Box on the US
We may have dodged a huge bullet because McCain lost, but Sarah Palin is still like some plague of psychic disease let loose on the American psychological body. The segment of the population she woke up to politics are those who today are busting our unions and attacking women's rights and they are the people who have raised the filthy screech of racism to the shocking levels we see today. Even Limbaugh has had to resort to some of the most disgraceful and disgusting language just to survive and keep his relevance.
The movie touched on something that's very disturbing about our political system which is a reflection in itself of how easily deluded the public can be when it is manipulated. It showed the conniving ease with which the political machine that does the work behind the scenes can whip up a frenzy during Presidential campaigns and the total lack of personal accountability by them. Those so-called expert handlers have yet to take accountability for what they did to this country when they pushed her on the public just because they wanted to win. All the misgiving looks and the desperation of the handlers the movie shows are a piss poor replacement for the need for someone to come forward and apologize to the American people by actually telling the truth about their own motives and nefarious actions. It showed the cavalier attitude of professionals who couldn't be bothered to vet a Vice Presidential candidate simply because they needed a 'game changer' badly. Well they got one and they owe us all an apology for their sloppy rush to do anything and everything to win.
For those of us who follow politics closely, like we do here on DU, nothing new was divulged in that movie but much of what we know was left out entirely. The movie shows her as being separated from her loving family which didn't happen. I remember endless discussions here of how she used her children, and especially Trig on stage to portray herself as the momma bear, or the hockey mom, or the pit bull with lipstick or whatever metaphor suited her. And I think those who adore her will probably feel much more love for her if they watch the movie because it portrays her as a victim of the elite and in their eyes she came out on top in the end because she was her true self who out-mavericked the so-called maverick of the Republican Party. It vindicates them because that's how they feel. Victimized and vengeful. They see how one of their own can raise in prominence by doing nothing about learning the issues and everything about lying so well that evidently real world problems are barely taken into consideration since they're simply not understood nor are they of any interest whatsoever. The emotional satisfaction of revenge trumps everything else, even wisdom and any desire to connect actions and their inevitable subsequent consequences.
Even those who have made their living by crude and crass language like Limbaugh, Hannity and O'Reilly are being forced into ever more crude and disgusting attacks trying to regain some personal significance in the mess McCain and his handlers left when they unleashed Sarah Palin on us. The Tea Party is the direct result of Sarah Palin 'being herself' as it plows it's destruction all across the land, leaving a gaping scar that some of us fear will heal very slowly if at all. Their goal is to decimate government and social programs and unions and education and to inject racism and misogyny to replace them and their screech is so loud and venomous that no one dares inject rationality or common sense into the situation. The present Republican candidates are prime examples of how twisted politics has become where the only hope a Republican has of getting nominated is how much lower he can morally sink than his opponents.
My hope is that the so-called new found power the Tea Party symbolizes is just a temporary fantasy bubble and that it too will burst for lack of substance or foundation. Rage is no way to run a country.

Newt has the signs of Malignant Narcissist Personality Disorder
Anyone who's life has been turned into Hell by a Narcissist knows that Newt is one. It isn't much of a jump to see these traits in Donald Trump, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Scott Walker (Governor of Wisconsin) and many world leaders and public figures. The following is a list of 20 signs of Malignant Narcissist Personality Disorder. Follow the links or google for yourself. Sociopaths, psychopaths and bullies also fall into these categories. Everyone can apply this to someone in their lives or someone in the public eye. Your boss, your ex, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, etc.
1. THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR is skillfully deceptive and very convincing. Avoids accountability by diverting topics, dodging questions, and making up new lies, bluffs or threats when questioned. His memory is self serving as he denies past statements. Constant chaos and diverting from reality is their chosen environment.
Defense Strategy: Verify his words. Do not reveal anything about yourself - he'll use it against you. Head for the door when things don't add up. Don't ask him questions - you'll only be inviting more lies.
2. THE CONTRACT BREAKER agrees to anything then turns around and does the opposite. Marriage, Legal, Custody agreements, normal social/personal protocol are meaningless. This con artist will accuse you of being the contract breaker. Enjoys orchestrating legal action and playing the role of the 'poor me' victim.
Defense Strategy: Expect him to disregard any agreement. Have Plan B in place. Protect yourself financially and emotionally.
3. THE HIGH ROLLER Successfully plows and backstabs his way to the top. His family a disposable prop in his success facade. Is charismatic, eloquent and intelligent in his field, but often fakes abilities and credentials. Needs to have iron-fisted control, relying on his manipulation skills. Will ruthlessly support, exploit or target others in pursuit of his ever-changing agenda. Mercilessly abuses the power of his position. Uses treachery or terrorism to rule or govern. Potential problem or failure situations are delegated to others. A vindictive bully in the office with no social or personal conscience. Often suspicious and paranoid. Others may support him to further their own Mephistophelian objectives, but this wheeler-dealer leaves them holding the bag. Disappears quickly when consequences loom.
Defense Strategy: Keep your references and resume up to date. Don't get involved in anything illegal. Document thoroughly to protect yourself. Thwarting them may backlash with a cascade of retaliation. Be on the lookout and spot them running for office and vote them out. Educate yourself about corporate bullies
4. THE SEXUAL NARCISSIST is often hypersexual (male or female). Pornography, masturbation, incest are reported by his targets. Anything, anyone, young, old, male/female, are there for his gratification. This predator takes what is available. Can have a preference for 'sado-maso' sexuality. Often easily bored, he demands increasingly deviant stimulation. However, another behaviour exists, the one who withholds sex or emotional support.
Defense Strategy: Expect this type to try to degrade you. Get away from him. Expect him to tell lies about your sexuality to evade exposure of his own.
5. THE BLAME-GAME NARCISSIST never accepts responsibility. Blames others for his failures and circumstances. A master at projection.
Defense Strategy: Learn about projection. Don't take the bait when he blames you. He made the mess, let him clean it up.
6. THE VIOLENT NARCISSIST is a wife-Beater, Murderer, Serial Killer, Stalker, Terrorist. Has a 'chip-on-his-shoulder' attitude. He lashes out and destroys or uses others (particularly women and children) as scapegoats for his aggression or revenge. He has poor impulse control. Fearless and guiltless, he shows bad judgement. He anticipates betrayal, humiliation or punishment, imagines rejection and will reject first to 'get it over with'. He will harass and push to make you pay attention to him and get a reaction. He will try to make you look out of control. Can become dangerous and unpredictable. Has no remorse or regard for the rights of others.
Defense Strategy: Don't antagonize or tip your hand you're leaving. Ask for help from the police and shelters.
7. THE CONTROLLER/MANIPULATOR pits people against each other. Keeps his allies and targets separated. Is verbally skillful at twisting words and actions. Is charismatic and usually gets his way. Often undermines our support network and discourages us from seeing our family and friends. Money is often his objective. Other people's money is even better. He is ruthless, demanding and cruel. This control-freak bully wants you pregnant, isolated and financially dependent on him. Appears pitiful, confused and in need of help. We rush in to help him with our finances, assets, and talents. We may be used as his proxy interacting with others on his behalf as he sets us up to take the fall or enjoys the performance he is directing.
Defense Strategy: Know the 'nature of the beast'. Facing his failure and consequences will be his best lesson. Be suspicious of his motives, and avoid involvement. Don't bail him out.
8. THE SUBSTANCE ABUSER Alcohol, drugs, you name it, this N does it. We see his over-indulgence in food, exercise or sex and his need for instant gratification. Will want you to do likewise.
Defense Strategy: Don't sink to his level. Say No.
9. OUR "SOUL MATE" is cunning and knows who to select and who to avoid. He will come on strong, sweep us off our feet. He seems to have the same values, interests, goals, philosophies, tastes, habits. He admires our intellect, ambition, honesty and sincerity. He wants to marry us quickly. He fakes integrity, appears helpful, comforting, generous in his 'idealization' of us phase. It never lasts. Eventually Jekyll turns into Hyde. His discarded victims suffer emotional and financial devastation. He will very much enjoy the double-dipping attention he gets by cheating. We end the relationship and salvage what we can, or we are discarded quickly as he attaches to a "new perfect soul mate". He is an opportunistic parasite. Our "Knight in Shining Armor" has become our nightmare. Our healing is lengthy.
Defense Strategy: Seek therapy. Learn about this disorder. Know the red flags of their behaviour, and "If he seems too good to be true..." Hide the hurt you feel. Never let him see it. Be watchful for the internet predator.
10. THE QUIET NARCISSIST is socially withdrawn, often dirty, unkempt. Odd thinking is observed. Used as a disguise to appear pitiful to obtain whatever he can.
11. THE SADIST is now the fully-unmasked malignant narcissist. His objective is watching us dangle as he inflicts emotional, financial, physical and verbal cruelty. His enjoyment is all too obvious. He'll be back for more. His pleasure is in getting away with taking other people's assets. His target: women, children, the elderly, anyone vulnerabie.
Defense Strategy: Accept the Jekyll/Hyde reality. Make a "No Contact' rule. Avoid him altogether. End any avenue of vulnerability. Don't allow thoughts of his past 'good guy' image to lessen the reality of his disorder.
12. THE RAGER flies off the handle for little or no provocation. Has a severely disproportionate overreaction. Childish tantrums. His rage can be intimidating. He wants control, attention and compliance. In our hurt and confusion we struggle to make things right. Any reaction is his payoff. He seeks both good or bad attention. Even our fear, crying, yelling, screaming, name calling, hatred are his objectives. If he can get attention by cruelty he will do so.
Defense Strategy: Manage your responses. Be fully independent. Don't take the bait of his verbal abuse. Expect emotional hurt. Volence is possible.
13. THE BRAINWASHER is very charismatic. He is able to manipulate others to obtain status, control, compliance, money, attention. Often found in religion and politics. He masterfully targets the naive, vulnerable, uneducated or mentally weak.
Defense Strategy. Learn about brainwashing techniques. Listen to your gut instinct. Avoid them.
14. THE RISK-TAKING THRILL-SEEKER never learns from his past follies and bad judgment. Poor impulse control is a hallmark.
Defense Strategy: Don't get involved. Use your own good judgement. Say No.
15. THE PARANOID NARCISSIST is suspicious of everything usually for no reason. Terrified of exposure and may be dangerous if threatened. Suddenly ends relationships if he anticipates exposure or abandonment.
Defense Strategy: Give him no reason to be suspicious of you. Let some things slide. Protect yourself if you anticipate violence.
16. THE IMAGE MAKER will flaunt his 'toys', his children, his wife, his credentials and accomplishments. Admiration, attention, even glances from others, our envy or our fear are his objective. He is never satisfied. We see his arrogance and haughty strut as he demands center stage. He will alter his mask at will to appear pitiful, inept, solicitous, concerned, or haughty and superior. Appears the the perfect father, husband, friend - to those outside his home.
Defense Strategy: Ignore his childlike behaviours. Know his payoff is getting attention, deceiving or abusing others. Provide him with 'supply' to avert problems.
17. THE EMOTIONAL VACUUM is the cruellest blow of all. We learn his lack of empathy. He has deceived us by his cunning ability to mimic human emotions. We are left numbed by the realization. It is incomprehensible and painful. We now remember times we saw his cold vacant eyes and when he showed odd reactions. Those closest to him become objectified and expendable.
Defense Strategy: Face the reality. They can deceive trained professionals.
18. THE SAINTLY NARCISSIST proclaims high moral standing. Accuses others of immorality. "Hang 'em high" he says about the murderer on the 6:00 news. This hypocrite lies, cheats, schemes, corrupts, abuses, deceives, controls, manipulates and torments while portraying himself of high morals.
Defense Strategy: Learn the red flags of behaviour. Be suspicious of people claiming high morals. Can be spotted at a church near you.
19. THE CALLING-CARD NARCISSIST forewarns his targets. Early in the relationship he may 'slip up' revealing his nature saying "You need to protect yourself around me" or "Watch out, you never know what I'm up to." We laugh along with him and misinterpret his words. Years later, coping with the devastation left behind, his victims recall the chilling warning.
Defense Strategy: Know the red flags and be suspicious of the intentions of others.
20. THE PENITENT NARCISSIST says "I've behaved horribly, I'll change, I love you, I'll go for therapy." Appears to 'come clean' admitting past abuse and asking forgiveness. Claims we are at fault and need to change too. The sincerity of his words and actions appear convincing. We learn his words are verbal hooks. He knows our vulnerabilities and what buttons to push. We question our judgement about his disorder. We can disregard "Fool me once..." We hope for change and minimize past abuse. With a successful retargeting attempt, this N will enjoy his second reign of terror even more if we allow him back in our lives.
Defense Strategy: Expect this. Self-impose a "No Contact" rule. Focus on the reality of his disorder. Journal past abusive behavior to remind yourself. Join our support group.

A myth is any traditional story consisting of events that are ostensibly historical, though often supernatural, explaining the origins of a cultural practice or natural phenomenon.[3] Myths are often stories that are currently understood as being exaggerated or fictitious.[4] The word "myth" is derived from the Greek word mythos (μῦθος), which simply means "story". Mythology can refer either to the study of myths, or to a body or collection of myths.[5] A myth also can be a story to explain why something exists.
Human cultures usually include a cosmogonical or creation myth, concerning the origins of the world, or how the world came to exist. The active beings in myths are generally gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, or animals and plants. Most myths are set in a timeless past before recorded time or beginning of the critical history. A myth can be a story involving symbols that are capable of multiple meanings.
A myth is a sacred narrative because it holds religious or spiritual significance for those who tell it. Myths also contribute to and express a culture's systems of thought and values.
Academic usage[edit]
The term is common in the academic fields of mythology, mythography[6] or folkloristics. Use of the term by scholars has no implication for the truth or falsity of the myth. While popular usage interchangeably employs the terms legend, fiction, fairy tale, folklore, fable and urban legend, each has a distinct meaning in academia.
Popular usage[edit]
In popular use, a myth can be a collectively held belief that has no basis in fact. This usage, which is often pejorative,[7] arose from labeling the religious myths and beliefs of other cultures as incorrect, but it has spread to cover non-religious beliefs as well.[8] Because of this popular and subjective word usage, many people take offense when the narratives they believe to be true are called myths.
To the source culture a myth by definition is "true", in that it embodies beliefs, concepts and ways of questioning to make sense of the world.

Johan Hedberg knows that he may have played his last game for the Devils.
The team's backup goalie may not play at all in the playoffs as the Devils go with Martin Brodeur, and he will be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
So how is Hedberg feeling as the playoffs are about to start?
"This is no time to be sad. I'm very excited going into these playoffs," Hedberg said. "I missed it last year and I missed it three years with Atlanta, so it's been a long time since I've been in the playoffs. I'm just grateful to be playing beyond the regular season and I'm really looking forward to this.
"It's the same situation that it's been for me all year. Nobody is going to be surprised to see Marty starting in the playoffs and neither an I. I'll just keep doing the things I always do: Prepare myself, stay sharp in practice and be ready for whatever might happen at any time."

Huh. Jinx seem to have some pretty cool (if you're a geek) stuff. I should probably order something some time. I was pissed they never made a Silvermoon sports team T-shirt like they did for other races, like the Darnassian Sabres or something. That range is so cool!
Here's a photo of my brother and me. It's from around 1995.
Then I blinked, and all of a sudden it was 2013.
It requires a specific kind of taste and sense of humor, to me most of the episodes were boring as crap.
I dont mind the rudeness and crassness, but they simply lacked humor

I want to take a moment to inform my fellow Brook Park voters of two new ballot measures featured in a special election on August 5. It's summer again, time for everyone to enjoy the warm weather, the sunshine and their families, and many people may be unaware that council is attempting to push through two new tax increases.
I have three main objections to these proposed ballot measures.
The ballot measures would raise both property and income taxes in Brook Park. According to the city's annual report for 2012 (the most recent year available), property tax revenue has dropped from $2.38 million to $1.95 million in the past tens years. This represents an 18 percent drop in this source of revenue. Similarly, income tax revenue has fallen from $21.9 million to $17.6 million over the same period. This is a 19.6 percent reduction. Clearly the tax base has been shrinking over time. It seems to me that if we want to regrow the tax base and encourage new residents and businesses to move to our city, we should be seeking to lower tax rates. Raising the tax rates on both property and income will have the opposite effect, in my opinion, resulting in a further erosion of the tax base.
It is my understanding that the new revenue would be used to finance "capital improvements," which I understand to mean new city buildings. If this is indeed the case, it seems to me a rather superfluous expense for a city whose gross revenue has fallen from $37.1 million to $27 million (a 27 percent drop) over the past 10 years. This year's budget (according to the Plain Dealer) already includes a $1.6 million shortfall. So, why do we need to spend money on new city buildings?
Even if we all agreed that property and income tax rate hikes are the best way forward for Brook Park, I object to the placing of these measures on the ballot via a special election. If these are such good ideas, then why do they need to be decided during the summer, when fewer voters are paying attention, as opposed to placing them on the ordinary November ballot, when more people's voices can be heard? It seems to me that the only reason to hide ballot issues in a special election in August is because you don't think they would pass in November.
In summary, I would encourage my fellow Brook Park voters to vote no on these ballot measures in the August 5 Special Election. They are counterproductive, would be used for unnecessary improvements and are deceptively timed.

NEWTON — A man who told police about a break-in to his friend's apartment was arrested for providing a false report after officers matched his sneakers to the footprint on the broken front door, police said today.
Authorities allege the man broke into his friend's apartment to retrieve personal belongings Thursday afternoon, then told his friend and police he had seen two men running from the apartment. But detectives quickly grew suspicious – and later arrested the witness himself after the footprint was found on the kicked-in front door, said Chief Michael Richards.
Steven J. Fisher, a 22-year-old Stillwater man, was charged with providing false information to police, criminal mischief, possession of a hypodermic needle and possession of drug paraphernalia – after police discovered a glass marijuana smoking pipe and two empty heroin bags, said Chief Michael Richards.
A resident of the apartment had called police around 4 p.m. on Thursday to report a break-in at his Sussex Street residence, the chief said. Fisher, a friend of the victim, told detectives he had observed two men fleeing the scene toward Pine Street.
But the detectives started questioning the story after evaluating the statement and the evidence at the scene, the chief said.
"They realized things weren't adding up," Richards said.
A footprint was found on the kicked-in door, and it matched Fisher's sneakers, the chief said. Detectives then arrested Fisher and charged him with giving the false information, as well as the other offenses.
Fisher was later released pending a future court appearance.
Richards said there was no burglary charge, because the items taken from the apartment were Fisher's – and nothing else was apparently stolen.

The ROSAT survey contains a surprising number of ``blank field" sources i.e. bright X-ray sources (fX>10-13) with no optical counterpart on the Palomar Sky survey (O>21.5) within their 99% radius error circle. For comparison a typical type 1 AGN at these X-ray fluxes would have (O ~18).
The faintness of any optical counterpart means that ROSAT blank field sources have extreme X-ray to optical ratios (fX/fV >60), incompatible with any known population. They also have unusual X-ray colors (flatter ROSAT spectra compared to radio-quiet AGNs). Without further constraints these sources might be any of a number of possible objects, from isolated old neutron stars, to reddened AGN, to `failed clusters'.
We discuss the possibilities on the basis of both the ROSAT PSPC data, and newly aquired Chandra and infrared IRTF data.

A Pine Hill art teacher was charged Thursday with endangering the welfare of a child after he allegedly had inappropriate conversations of a sexual nature, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Charles Reilly, 42, of 1100 block of East Pine Street in Pine Hill, was charged Thursday with the second-degree crime.
Authorities allege Reilly had sexual conversations within the past week with a teenager from Pine Hill Middle School both in person and online. An investigation was initiated after the child reported the conversations to his parents.
Reilly, along with teaching art, runs the school's art club and coaches track and soccer for adolescents.
The middle school issued to parents a letter informing them of the investigation into Reilly's conduct and is prepared to receive information about other inappropriate interactions this teacher may have had with current or former students.
Information about other incidents that may involve Reilly may be given to Camden County Prosecutor's Office Investigator Fawn Ackerman at (856) 225-8400 or Pine Hill Police Detective Charles Stetler at (856) 783-1549.

DECATUR, Ala. (AP) — Decatur restaurant owners are looking into new outdoor dining options now that the city council has taken action to legalize the serving of alcohol on city sidewalks downtown.
The Decatur Daily reports that wine tastings will be among the new options for downtown restaurants, wine shops and art galleries.
Restaurants are considering their options after the city this week relaxed its zoning regulations to spur economic activity in a section of town that some say has grown stagnant over the years.
Two new wine shops downtown and an art gallery are pursuing licenses to host wine tastings for special events.

Local and state law enforcement agencies descended on Williamsburg County Tuesday to conduct a drug roundup. The roundup began on May 13, around 1:30 in the afternoon. At one point the downtown area of Kingstree was flooded with law enforcement while a state law enforcement agency helicopter hovered above. Williamsburg County Sheriff's Office, along with South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and Florence County Sheriff's Department personnel served warrants on eleven individuals who were charged with either distribution of cocaine, heroine or crack cocaine. Two individuals were charged with possession of marijuana. Williamsburg County Sheriff John Bartell said the investigation is ongoing.

Briófitos del Parque Natural de Pagoeta (Aya, Guipúzcoa)
HERAS, Patxi and INFANTE, Marta and UGARTE, Iñigo (2002) Briófitos del Parque Natural de Pagoeta (Aya, Guipúzcoa). Naturzale. Cuadernos de Ciencias Naturales (17). pp. 97-110. ISSN 1137-8603
Official URL: http://www.euskomedia.org/analitica/6374
The study of bryophytes (moss and hepatic) in the Natural Park of Pagoeta(Aya, Guipúzcoa) has demonstrated the importance of this emplacement, both because of its species richness (184 bryophytes: 48 hepatic and 136 moss) and because of the presence of at least 26 species that are interesting for their scarcity or their limited geographical distribution within the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country as well as in the Iberian Peninsula. Specially important is the presence of 12 species that appear in the Red List of the Bryophytes of the Iberian Peninsula under the "rare" or "vulnerable" categories. Furthermore, four enclaves have been selected because of their moss vegetation and the presence of interesting species, in the hope that such data contribute to the management of the park and help in the conservation of its moss vegetation and flora.

March residential sales in Gadsden experienced an 18.9 percent increase when compared to March 2011.
March represents the fourth consecutive month that Gadsden home sales have improved when compared to the same month from the prior year.
In March, Gadsden's sales growth outperformed Alabama residential sales (up 8.7%) and the US market which showed an increase of 5.2 percent from the prior year (March 2011), according to the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). NAR also reported that the South region sales were up 3.6 percent from last March.
Supply: Gadsden housing inventory totaled 681 units, a decrease of 6.2 percent from this time last year. March inventory in Gadsden experienced a 1.3 percent increase when compared to the prior month. Historical data indicates that March inventory on average ('07-'11) traditionally increases from the month of February by 1.7 percent.
Demand: Existing single family home sales accounted for 95 percent (down from 98% in March '11) of total sales and new homes sales accounted for 5 percent (up from 2% in March '11).
Residential sales are seasonal, typically peaking during the late spring/early summer. Another trend happens at the beginning of each year when March sales routinely outperform the market's 2nd slowest month of the year - February. Gadsden residential sales were 37.0 percent up from the prior month. This movement is consistent with historical data indicating that Gadsden sales, on average ('07-'11), traditionally increase from the month of January by 29.8 percent.
In comparison, US sales slipped 2.6 percent from last month while the South region reflected a 1.1 percent decrease from the prior month (February 2012).
Year-to-date, Calhoun County-Anniston (up 21%) and the Shoals area (up 20%) lead Gadsden's peer group referred to as mid-size markets in our monthly report. Gadsden YTD sales are up 14.3% from 2011. This is consistent with the Alabama statewide market where YTD sales are 11.4% up from 2011 led by Tuscaloosa (up 33%), Montgomery (up 21%) and Birmingham (up 15%). Birmingham traditionally represents 33% of statewide sales so a mending real estate market in our largest city is great news for the entire statewide real estate market.
Pricing: The Gadsden median selling price in March was $90,000, an increase of 13.1 percent from last March. This figure also represents an increase of 21.2 percent when compared to the prior month. Historical data ('07-'11) indicates that the March median selling price traditionally increases from the month of February by 17.1 percent. The month-over-month percentage increase is distorted due to the difference in the amount of transactions in both months. In the case, the average sales price which is down 13.2% compared to February may prove the more accurate indicator. ACRE suggest consulting with local agents on the ground to discuss pricing trends.
As the market transitions into the second quarter of 2012, statistical volatility is anticipated. With that said, the volatility should continue to moderate as for the first time in several years, there are no home buying tax-incentives in play in either year (2011 or 2012) that has skewed the comparative figures over the last several years.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol reported four traffic fatalities over its four-day traffic enforcement period for Christmas, and the deaths happened in MHP's Greenwood, New Albany and Meridian districts.
The Christmas enforcement period began at 6 p.m. Monday and ended at midnight Thursday, but it will be followed by a similar New Year's weekend/holiday enforcement period this week.
It's reported that Highway Patrol officers investigated a total of 135 collisions that injured 27 people. Five wrecks were alcohol-related. The only fully acceptable number is zero.
Troopers made a total of 33 DUI arrests statewide, and a similar if not higher number can be expected over the New Year's holiday because of the association of alcohol and that holiday's revelry.
Patrol officers statewide reported 3,577 arrests and citations, including 2,242 hazardous violations.
MHP will continue its "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign through midnight Wednesday, a crackdown that has been supported by several groups who advocate sober driving for all drivers.
The public of course should expect roving patrols, safety checkpoints and strict enforcement of all safe-driving laws, including speed limits, throughout the New Year's holiday period.
The checkpoints also can be expected by city police forces and in some cases sheriff's officers. The sure way to make those stops routine is sober driving, and alcohol-free driving is best. A designated sober driver can keep people out of trouble and safe.
Impaired drivers are dangerous any time, but with New Year's parties and other celebrations, the chances of impaired driving could increase.
Law enforcement wants everyone to have a good time but also is looking to ensure that travelers and their families practice safety when traveling to and from parties.
These suggestions are offered:
• People who plan to drink should designate a nondrinking driver and give that person the keys to the vehicle.
• Never ride with a driver who has been drinking.
• Take a list of phone numbers for cabs and friends to call for a sober ride home.
• If possible, plan to spend the night at the event.
• When throwing a party, provide nonalcoholic alternatives, and never let guests drive drunk.
• Report impaired drivers to a local law enforcement.
• Always buckle up and properly secure children.
Be safe, and keep others safe at the same time.

Saturday, we headed to the Carpenter Center and the opening night of Little Shop of Horrors, a jaunty little gem about a man-eating plant that manipulates a meek little guy into helping him take over Skid Row and the world. I've seen both versions of the movie (love Roger Corman's classic) but never the live stage musical, and I thought it would be a fun time for us all. Which is was. The music was fantastic, catchy '50s flavors with very witty lyrics. The sets were from the National Tour as were the puppets for Audrey II, the man-eating plant. (Amazing how they made the plant seem so realistic, and what a great voice from Michael A . Shepperd.) The actors did a fine job: Stuart Pankin as Mr. Mushnik; Peter Paige as Orin Scrivello DDS (along with almost every other character); Lowe Taylor awed everyone as Audrey; and Danny Gurwin played a wonderfully meek Seymour Krelborn. And not to forget Meloney Collins, Kamlah Marshall and Fredericka Meek as Ronette, Crystal and Chiffon -- kind of like the Greek chorus as a '50s girl group.
They encountered a few mic problems early on but corrected them as the show progressed, and I think the puppeteer was still getting used to the large Audrey II. But all in all, a good show.

I really enjoyed the show. The performers can really sing, especially the plant. I've never seen this play before, so I really enjoyed it! They used the original set, which is a plus. That includes the plant ofcourse.

This event was more than great! Awesome life-like vivid stage setting and catchy tunes with outstanding vocals. Audrey II (the plant) grew well over 6 ft tall! Entertaining from beginning to end. Just about every seat at the Carpenter Performing...continued
Musical Theatre West is proud to present Little Shop of Horrors. The story follows a meek down-and-out skid row floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain.
Paul Garman, Musical Theatre West's Executive Director/Producer is, "pleased to present this delightful show with sets and costumes direct from the recent national tour."
Steven Glaudini, Associate Artistic Director of Musical Theatre West, who recently directed the critically acclaimed MTW production of The Producers will direct this Little Shop of Horrors. "It has always been one of my favorite shows, and I am thrilled to be able to guide this terrific cast in this contemporary classic by the songwriting team of Disney's Beauty and the Beast."
The cast in the Musical Theatre West production of Little Shop of Horrors features Danny Gurwin as Seymour (Broadway's Little Women, The Full Monty, The Scarlet Pimpernel), Peter Paige as Orin and Others (Emmett in Television's "Queer as Folk"), Lowe Taylor as Audrey (The Marvelous Wonderettes, Divorce, The Musical), Stuart Pankin as Mr. Mushnik (HBO's "Not Necessisarily The News", MTW's Silk Stockings), Michael Shepperd as the Voice of Audrey II (Artistic Director of the Celebration Theatre, Little Shop on Broadway), Kamilah Marshall, Meloney Collins and Fredericka Meek.

Citrix Receiver Now Also for Android Smartphones
At its iForum conference in Singapore on July 28, the Xen owner Citrix announced that its Citrix Receiver software for virtulized Windows systems would be extended to the Android platform. Until now it was available only in iPhone mobile devices.
Citrix Receiver enables communication among virtualized Windows systems and company road warriors so that they can collaborate on documents and share programs. The running programs and data remain on the remote system, only the keystrokes, screen activity and updates traverse the network. That's why emails or documents never get stored as such on a mobile device.
The Citrix Receiver works over a special Doc Finder program that makes it easier to navigate and modify documents in the corporate library. The App Viewer is a Web browser-like interface that uses the IE engine, but adjusts to the small mobile screen.
The Android project, according to Citrix, is entering a whole new working arrangement with the open source firm Open Kernel Labs (OK-Labs). The U.S.-Australian embedded developers were a spin-off in 2006 of the Australian National Center of Excellence for Information and Communication Technology and specialize in their dual-licensed OKL4 Microvisor for virtualizing mobile systems (based on ARM, MIPS and Intel). Linux is supported as a guest system, as are Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian with a bit of adjustment. The microvisor is available open source for noncommercial use and can be modified and further distributed. Downloads, however, need valid e-mail address registration.

MINNEAPOLIS - At least for another day, Todd Hoffner is Minot State's head football coach.
Hoffner, who has the option to have his four-year contract at Minnesota State-Mankato reinstated, is expected to announce his decision to stay at or leave Minot State today. A press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the office of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, L.L.P., in Minneapolis, the law firm of Hoffner's private attorney, Chris Madel.
Hoffner, who was hired by Minot State on Jan. 30 to replace former coach Paul Rudolph, was fired by MSU-Mankato in May 2013.
Subsequently, Hoffner filed a labor grievance with the Bureau of Mediation Services.
The dismissal stemmed from charges of possessing and producing child pornography. Hoffner was placed on administrative leave in August 2012, but the charges were dismissed by the judge, Krista J. Jass, in Nov. 2012.
On Wednesday, an arbitrator ruled in favor of Hoffner, giving him the option to have his contract at MSU-Mankato reinstated.
If he elects to return to Mankato, Minot State will be forced to hire a head football coach for the second time in less than three months.
If Hoffner decides to stay at Minot State, he will be compensated with the difference in pay - $90,000 at Minot State to $100,190 at MSU-Mankato. He will also receive back pay, plus interest, and be repaid for a 20-day suspension during his employment at MSU-Mankato.
At the Beavers' spring practice session Monday, he addressed the team and remained mum.
"We don't know anything. We had practice today and he didn't really say much," redshirt freshman Ray Watkins said.
The consensus in the locker room, he said, is that the team hopes he remains at Minot State, but admitted many teammates are quite uncertain what decision their coach will make.
"We were depressed after a 2-9 season. Bringing him is was a great feeling," Watkins said. "We hit the ground running with practice and weights and strength and conditioning. We feel a good change.
"Whatever is best for him and his family, though."
Other teammates have been more forward.
"I hope Coach Hoffner stays!" senior receiver Leon LaDeaux posted on Twitter.
Added his sophomore brother, Aaron LaDeaux: "I don't want another new coach. The one we have now is going to take us places. Be somewhere you're wanted rather than being somewhere you want to be."

BEAVERTON -- West Linn's Ryan Shearmire made two free throws to break a 58-58 tie with four seconds remaining and helped the Lions walk out of Southridge High School with a 62-58 victory over the Skyhawks in nonconference boys' basketball action Tuesday night.
After Shearmire made both free throws, West Linn's Hayden Coppedge was fouled after intercepted Southridge's ensuing inbound pass and added two more free throws with two seconds left as the No. 5-ranked Lions (2-1) won their second consecutive road game.
Coppedge scored a game-high 21 points, while Shearmire added 18 and Anthony Mathis 13 for the Lions.
"We're ecstatic about getting the win, because it's always tough to win on the road, especially against a good team," West Linn coach Eric Viuhkola said. "I was proud that we showed some toughness, especially when we got down in the second half.
"We've definitely got a lot of things to work on, but we've got a lot of pieces to work with, too."
A.J. Monterossi finished with 16 points to lead the Skyhawks (2-2), who rallied from a 27-25 halftime deficit to take a 45-38 lead late in the third quarter.
The lead changed hands three times in the fourth quarter before Southridge's Caleb Dozier hit a three-pointer that tied the score at 58-58 with 2:10 remaining.
After couple of empty possessions for both sides, West Linn had the ball and called timeout with 16 seconds left to set up a final play. When that play wasn't available, Lions' freshman guard Payton Pritchard improvised, getting the ball to Shearmire on the low block where he was fouled taking the ball to the basket.
"We tried to run an isolation play to Anthony (Mathis) and let him have a side, but Southridge took that away," Viuhkola said. "So Payton kind of turned the corner and made a heckuva play to Ryan and ... I thought it was a foul. I was glad it wasn't a no-call.
"When you've only had two games going in, you're going to be rough around the edges."

NARS Turks & Caicos Multiple Tint
16 comments:
oooh I want this! it's the first review I've seen, what good timing! I saw them the other day and they look amazing! this one is definitely on my 'to buy' list.ReplyDelete
I am loving this color since it came out. One thing for sure, i will buy it verrrrrry soon :-)ReplyDelete
I spied these the other day and they look AMAZING - want want want!!ReplyDelete
I was surprised how each of these colors looked on your skin (compared to how they swatched on mine) — but each one is absolutely beautiful.ReplyDelete
I REALLY love the color of both Cadaques and Turks & Caicos on you. Great choices!
From what i know they are Limited Edition. So if they're out of stock, that's it. =) I like this one best but to fork out AUD$89 ... =( It's definitely a multipurpose gorgeous colour!!ReplyDelete
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it's definately my favourite purchase for the summer.ReplyDelete
It's just perfect on my NC35-40 skin and lasts all day. Feels super comfortable on the skin and is so easy and quick to use. LOVE!
I really really love it and have a terrible urge to buy a back up but that's just silly, right?! I'll never get through a whole stick...I hope!
I keep thinking about this tint! I originally wanted this orange one but I felt that it was way too sheer/subtle for me. The Beverly Hills shade is a surprise winner for me - that said I should have my local Nordstrom order it for me!ReplyDelete
Oooh! You are making me want to go back for the other two (I just bought Cadaques). The sales associate tried out Turks & Caicos on me first, but I had just bought a MUFE HD blush in a similar color, so I went with Cadaques...which is beautiful!ReplyDelete
Oh, I forgot to mention: these are at Sephora now, too, but online only. Just in case anyone's having trouble finding them.ReplyDelete
that is so pretty. I was told by one of the Nars national artists that they are LE :(ReplyDelete
Orange Tints look lovely...I always passed on Orangey cheek product..but with Optimistic Orange Creme bLend Blush, I am confident that they will work on me..ReplyDelete
i've been meaning to try a nars multiple tint, this one looks gorgeous! xReplyDelete
Absolutely amazing! I really want it!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this great blog entry!!
The swatch looks uber-beautiful!!!ReplyDelete
I 'd love to try this...!!!
Thanks for posting!
OMG I could never wear this shade!ReplyDelete
