In the O.Henry short story "The Octopus Marooned" he is telling about a scam that failed:
No, sir, it was just as I said. We were self-curbed. It was a case of auto-suppression. There was a rift within the loot, as Albert Tennyson says.

March 6, 2003: The central region of the small galaxy NGC 1705 blazes with the light of thousands of young and old stars in this image, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. At 17 million light-years away, the individual stars of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1705 are out of range of all but the sharp eyes of Hubble. NGC 1705 is classified as a dwarf irregular because it is small and lacks any regular structure.See the rest:
NGC 1705 is an ideal laboratory to conduct investigations on star formation history. Young, blue, hot stars are strongly concentrated toward the galaxy's center, while older, red, cooler stars are more spread out. This galaxy has been forming new stars throughout its lifetime. A burst of star-formation activity took place as recently as 26 to 31 million years ago. This "starburst" is responsible for many of the young stars on the outskirts of the galaxy's core, as well as the central giant star cluster.
Many astronomers now believe that dwarf galaxies, like NGC 1705, were the first systems to collapse and start forming stars in the early universe. They represent the building blocks from which more massive objects (spiral and elliptical galaxies) were later formed through mergers and accretion. Nearby small galaxies are thought to be the leftovers of the galaxy-formation process.

In the next few articles, I'll be covering the DHCP protocol: how it works and how to configure a DHCP client and a DHCP server using FreeBSD. If you've ever connected a computer to a network, you've probably heard of DHCP, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. As its name suggests, this protocol is designed to configure a host dynamically with the TCP/IP information it needs in order to communicate on a network.
The alternative to dynamic addressing is static addressing. Static addressing occurs when you manually type in an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address. FreeBSD systems support both static and dynamic addressing. Typically, you would use static addressing to set up a small home network and dynamic addressing when you connect to the Internet.
Before using any type of addressing, you need to determine the FreeBSD
name for your network interface card. To do that, use the
ifconfig command like so:
$ ifconfig -a
rl0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:05:5d:d2:19:b7
media: Ethernet autoselect
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:50:ba:de:36:33
media: Ethernet autoselect
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ifconfig command will display both physical and
virtual interfaces. You can recognize the Ethernet interfaces as they
will have an "ether" or MAC address. The FreeBSD name for the adapter will
have 2 or 3 letters followed by a number. In this example, there are two
Ethernet NICs; one is named
rl0 and the other
ed0. There are also two virtual interfaces,
lo0. You may recognize
127.0.0.1 as the
"loopback address", meaning
lo0 is the name of the loopback
virtual interface.
Also in FreeBSD Basics:
Most interfaces have an entry in section 4 of the manual. In my case,
I could try
man 4 rl,
man 4 ed,
man 4
lp, and
man 4 lo for more information about each
interface. Note that you don't include the number when specifying the
interface name with
man. Instead, the interface number
indicates how many interfaces of that type are installed; the count starts
at 0. For example, if I had had two realtek NICs, they would be called
rl0 and
rl1. (That's "arr-ell", not
To assign a static IP address and subnet mask to the
interface, I'll become the superuser and use
ifconfig like
# ifconfig rl0 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
When you try this command, don't forget to specify the correct
interface name for your system or you will receive an error message. To
see if your command was successful, ask
ifconfig to limit its
information to one particular interface, rather than using the
a switch to see all the interfaces:
# ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
ether 00:05:5d:d2:19:b7
If your computer also requires a default gateway address, use the
route command like so:
# route add default 192.168.10.25
To confirm your change:
# netstat -rn |grep G
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 192.168.10.25 UGSc 5 0 rl0
192.168.10.1 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 2 lo0
You'll note that I used
grep to search the routing table
for the
G flag, which represents the gateway flag. The other
flag to notice is
U, which indicates that the gateway is up.
This is always a good thing in a gateway.
This host is now configured, but none of those configurations will
survive a reboot. It's inconvenient to retype in your static
configurations every time you reboot a computer. Fortunately, you can tell
your FreeBSD system to keep these configurations by including them in the
system startup configuration file. On this host, I'll add the following
lines to
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
Be careful when making changes to this file, including getting the required quotation marks right. To test your change, make sure this command does not result in any errors:
# /etc/netstart
It's not a big deal to edit a few files if you only have one computer or a small network with just a few computers. However, if you are an administrator of a larger network, it is more convenient to use DHCP for two reasons. First, as the number of files you edit increases, so does the chance of typos and the possibility of two computers mistakenly being assigned the same IP address. Second, the more computers you have, the more inconvenient it is to have to sit down at each to enter their IP addressing information manually.
If your system is attached to a network that uses DHCP--the Internet,
for example--you can take advantage of FreeBSD's built-in DHCP client. In
my example, my second NIC (
ed0) is attached to my cable
modem. To receive an IP address from my ISP's DHCP server, I can use this
# dhclient ed0
To see if it worked:
# ifconfig ed0
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 184.108.40.206 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:50:ba:de:36:33
To configure this system to use always dynamic addressing, I can add
the following line to
You need to know some DHCP terminology if you're going to be able to
dhclient or to create your own DHCP server to
use on your network.
When a DHCP client receives configuration information from a DHCP server, it is in the form of a "lease". This means that the client configuration remains valid for a limited period of time, configured on the DHCP server. The information contained in that lease was also configured on the server. A DHCP server can give out much more than just a host's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. It can inform the client of the IP addresses for the following types of servers in a network:
Whew, that's a lot of servers. In addition, DHCP can also set the
client's MTU, TTL, hostname, and a few dozen other parameters. To see the
complete list, check out
man dhcp-options.
Once a DHCP client has a lease, it stores it in
/var/db/dhclient.leases. Here is an example lease file:
lease {
interface "ed0";
fixed-address 22.214.171.124;
option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0;
option routers 184.108.40.206;
option domain-name-servers 220.127.116.11,188.8.131.52,22.214.171.124;
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option dhcp-server-identifier 126.96.36.199
option host-name "thishost";
option domain-name "thisdomain.com";
renew 3 2003/4/2 00:22:38;
rebind 6 2003/4/5 02:50:06;
expire 6 2003/4/5 23:50:06;
If you've been running
dhclient for a while, you'll note
that your lease file will have many such sections which start with
lease { and end with the closing curly brace
}. The information between the curly braces is the lease
itself. Since leases don't last forever, each new lease assigned to the
DHCP client is added to the end of the file. Your current lease will be
at the very end of the file. If the file itself gets too long, it is
copied over to
/var/db/dhclient.leases~ and a new
/var/db/dhclient.leases file is started.
How does this whole lease process work? Let's assume for a moment that
somewhere on your network is a properly configured DHCP server. This
server will listen on UDP port 67, waiting for lease requests from DHCP
clients. Let's also assume you have a brand new DHCP client with an empty
/var/db/dhclient.leases file. Remember, you made that host a
DHCP client by adding this line to
Nothing in that line indicates the IP address of the DHCP server. This
is just as well because at this moment
ed0 doesn't even have
an IP address; if it did, it wouldn't need to contact a DHCP server.
Related Reading
TCP/IP Network Administration
In order to contact the DHCP server, this host will send out a special
packet known as a
DHCPDISCOVER message. Since the host
doesn't know the IP address of its DHCP server, it sends the packet to the
broadcast address,
255.255.255.255, in the hopes that a DHCP
server will see it and respond. If you're familiar with networking, you
know that broadcast packets are processed by all hosts that see the
packet. However, only a DHCP server will understand the message in the
packet as it is destined for UDP port 67.
You might also be aware that routers drop broadcast packets. This has a very big ramification for DHCP: if there isn't a DHCP server on your subnet or cable segment, the DHCP server on another subnet will never receive that broadcast. Does this mean that you need to have a DHCP server on every subnet in your network? Fortunately, no. Instead, you use something known as a "bootp relay agent" to deliver that message to a DHCP server. I'll talk more about these relay agents in the next few articles.
Ideally a DHCP server will receive the
message. When it does, it will check its database of available leases,
setting one aside pending confirmation from the host. It will then send
out a
DHCPOFFER message containing the details of the
lease. This message is sent to the DHCP client port, UDP 68. You should
note that DHCP uses two different port numbers, one for the client and one
for the server. You will need to know both those port numbers if there are
any firewalls between the client and the server.
Once the client receives the
DHCPOFFER, it will confirm
the lease by sending out a
DHCPREQUEST. Again, this is sent
as a broadcast. It is possible that multiple DHCP servers saw the original
request and each responded with a separate lease offer. This broadcast
allows all of the servers to see which lease the client is willing to
accept, so any extra servers will stop holding a lease for the client. The
server with the successful lease will mark the lease as leased. It will
also send a
DHCPACK which indicates the client now has the
lease and is allowed to use those configuration parameters.
Once the client receives the
DHCPACK, it writes the
particulars of the lease to
/var/db/dhclient.leases and uses
the leased information to participate in a TCP/IP network.
The client knows it can't use that configuration forever. A lease
expiry is clearly marked in the lease. Take a look at the last 3 lines
before the
} in my example lease:
renew 3 2003/4/2 00:22:38;
rebind 6 2003/4/5 02:50:06;
expire 6 2003/4/5 23:50:06;
You'll note there are actually three time periods: renew, rebind, and expire. The syntax for each line is
day year/month/day hour:minute:second
0 means Sunday. In this example, this lease is ready
to "renew" on Wednesday April 2, 2003 at 12:22:38 in the morning.
What is the difference between renew, rebind, and expire? Renew is also
known as T1 or when the leased time is at 50%. When T1 occurs, the DHCP
client will send a
DHCPREQUEST to the DHCP server which
assigned the lease. Note that the lease itself indicates the address of
the DHCP server in this line:
option dhcp-server-identifier 126.96.36.199

Since the client knows the address of the server, it doesn't have to
send a broadcast. If all goes well, the server will receive the
DHCPREQUEST and give the client permission to renew the
lease. Basically, the client is allowed to reuse the configuration for the
original lease time and all three times are bumped up to reflect the new
lease period.
If the client doesn't hear back from the DHCP server, it will wait for
T2 or when the lease is at 87.5%. This is also known as the rebind period.
The client will again send a
DHCPREQUEST, but this time it
will be a broadcast. Basically, the client is starting to get a bit
worried and just wants to get its lease period renewed before it
expires. Hopefully, some DHCP server will respond, and again all three
time periods will be bumped up to reflect the new lease period.
If things don't go well, the poor DHCP client won't hear back from any
DHCP servers. When the expire time occurs, the client is no longer allowed
to use its leased configurations and is basically back at square one. The
only way to get a lease will be to start from scratch with a
DHCPDISCOVER broadcast.
Things work a little bit differently if you reboot your computer before
any of the three time periods arrive. At bootup, your FreeBSD system will
look for the address of the DHCP server in its
/var/db/dhclient.leases file. It will then try to contact
the server in order to renew its lease. However, if the DHCP server
happens to be unavailable, the client will check to see if it has a
non-expired lease. If it does, it will ping the default router from the
leased address to see if it still appears to work. If the router responds,
it will boot up with the address, and will try contacting the DHCP server
in 5 minutes in order to validate the lease.
There are two other possible DHCP messages which you might come across.
The first is a
DHCPNACK or negative acknowledgment. This
message will be sent from a DHCP server if a client requests an address
which is no longer valid. This usually occurs when you physically move a
computer between subnets.
To prevent that message, you should send a
from the client before you physically move a computer to another
subnet. To do this on a FreeBSD system:
# dhclient -r ed0
Typically, you would issue that command just before powering down the
system and moving the computer. If you intend to leave the computer up,
you won't be getting a new address as
-r will also kill the
dhclient process. If you wish to renew the lease, simply
restart the process:
# dhclient ed0
This is all probably more than you thought you'd be learning about DHCP for one day. In the next article, I'll concentrate on the DHCP server and the configuration information it needs in order to assign leases to DHCP clients.

Farenthold touched on a few issues important to Refugio County.
He said the immigration reform bill that the Senate passed "is probably not going anywhere in the House."
He said the House is taking this major issue and breaking it down into individual bills rather than all of the issues in one single bill.
Farenthold, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, said the bills that have passed by him so far include a border security bill that will empower states. Also, the bill calls for better cooperation between the feds and local law enforcement.
Another bill was the e-verify bill, which would make this method of identification mandatory.
Also, a guest worker program bill for ag workers is another bill that is critical to Texas.
And finally, a high-skilled visas bill would make it easier for grad students to stay here for high tech jobs or for creating businesses.
Farenthold also touched on the Farm Bill.
He said the House version failed because the expected bipartisan vote did not come through.
He said most liberal Democrats voted no because of the cuts to food stamps. And he said far right Republicans voted against it because they didn't think it was cut enough and because they don't like supplemental payments.
Farenthold said they were in the process of thinking through another version that would be bipartisan.
"I think the farm bill is a must-pass item," Farenthold said.
He added that the worst case scenario would be to extend what's in place.
"I don't think that's the solution," he said.
"The plan we had was to tighten up some control (over food stamps), give the states more flexibility ... the Democrats promised 40 votes and did not deliver."
Also, Farenthold commented on the Interstate 69 corridor.
He said Refugio and Riviera are very similar towns because of the fear of a bypass.
He said the loss of traffic downtown would cause damage to businesses.
But the increased truck traffic also poses a safety issue, he said.
"Any bypass around Refugio would be one of the last segments (of I-69) built," he said. "It is the most expensive because of land acquisition and costs. The only way to pay for a bypass is if it is tolled."
Farenthold said a toll road would give the traveler the choice of coming through Refugio or paying a toll fee.
"That's how I suspect it will be financed," he said.
He also recommended that Refugio have representation on the I-69 Alliance and to stay in touch with the Texas Department of Transportation.
Farenthold said federal funding for transportation is drying up because of fuel efficient cars. The federal funding comes from a fuel tax.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
i'll make my first thread about deathnote
and the only thing i have to say is: i really really hated the end of deathnote, i really hoped light would have won and ruled the world
yea me too..
I liked it. L (through N and Mello) won, which is what I wanted. The whole show was fantastic. And I always like it when the protagonist dies. It's always unexpected.
ya part two sucked
I had to drag myself to watch the rest of the show after L's death.
At least Light's death was pretty good. It was actually different than in the manga but not by much.
Well at least he won against L
I hated it too but in a way it was really cool lol
Welcome to NB btw ^_^ hope you enjoy your stay :D
Its funny. When L was alive I wanted him to win. But when L died and those L wannabees showed up, I wanted Light to win and kinda sad when he died.
At least his anime death was alot more appropriate and satisfying than his manga death.
I quite liked the ending, tbh.
From the start, L had already won. It was just a matter of finding evidence to support his claims. So all in all, Light was never going to succeed in the first place.
It's a damn good series, though. I think I'll definitely be watching it again at some point.
his manga dead was gay , begging for mercy like a pu** Y
the anime ending sucked too , it always happen to good anime , getting destroy by the ending

text: I had ductal thrush when my dd was 5 mths old. Neither of us had any visable signs, it was just internal burning and stabing pains in my breasts. It was quickly cleared up with 3 Diflucan pills. I have not had any problems until now. My dd is now almost 17mths and was recently on antibiotics for an ear infection (her first one). My nipples got a little sore and just the last two days, I have had a burning sensation in my breasts with just a little pain. No visable signs in either of us. It doesn't hurt to nurse her. Could it be thrush? It's been so long since the original episode, I forget exactly what it feels like. I bf only PT as I work FT. I guess I didn't think BFing older babies could result in thrush. Am I wrong?

Killzone 3 ReviewBy Mitch Dyer - Posted Feb 03, 2011
Killzone 3's campaign suffers from the odd low point, but the fast pace of its excellent missions, outstanding online multiplayer, and an all-around better feel more than compensate for the missteps. This is a vast improvement over earlier franchise entries, and the superb multiplayer suite will keep us playing until the inevitable sequel.
The Pros
- Improved shooting and overall feel
- PlayStation Move works wonderfully
- Great variety of environments and enemy encounters
The Cons
- Inconsistent campaign quality
- Plot holes aplenty
- No online co-op
- Clumsy reload and melee gestures with Move
Killzone 3 Review:
It may have been a big, dumb action game with big, dumb characters, but you can't deny, despite its story's silliness and shortcomings, Killzone 2 had a soul. It began questioning the ethics of invasion and it ended with nuclear devastation. With severe losses on both sides, the ending squashed any sense of hope for the ISA, our ever-noble human heroes. With their escape plans foiled by the evil Helghast's fleet, the ISA's forced to retreat to hiding deep within the planet Helghan.
The now-stranded Sergeant Sevchenko is the center of Killzone 3, but the train-wreck aftermath he's stuck in doesn't make him melancholy. Sev just wants the war to end, and even as the war spirals further out of control – political unrest leads to a new Helghast plot: invading Earth after peace negotiations – he keeps his chin up. He's desperate and willing to try anything to stop the Helghast's feuding military leaders' genocidal intentions. Killzone 3 benefits most from this recklessness, and suffers only when Sev's not doing something stupid.
Dead Zone
Picking up from the moment Killzone 2 cut to credits, Killzone 3 sees the ISA unsure how to react to the last game's events – namely, the unwanted martyrdom of a major military figure, courtesy of Sev's trigger-happy squad-mate Rico Velasquez. As the Helghast fleet starts scorching the planet from the sky, the ISA's forced to flee back through the city they'd just finished fighting through.
This introductory hour occupies some too-familiar territory. We've traded bullets with the Helghast in the Helghan capital city of Pyrrhus before, although the wake of their self-inflicted nuke blast lends the city a captivating, dilapidated beauty. It's here where Killzone 3 is at its weakest. The annoying frequency of cinematics brings the slow start to a grinding halt – not that tailing Rico from one stop-and-pop shooting gallery to the next is a tremendously exciting way to kick off a game in the first place.
It takes time for Killzone 3 to find its groove, but it eventually starts presenting cool ways to complete objectives in interesting new settings. Once it breaks free from itself, Killzone 3 transforms from a predictable first-person shooter into a terrific sequel whose quality utterly trounces that of its predecessor.
Pick Up The Pace
It's only because Guerilla Games goes to such great lengths to keep its campaign varied that the follow-the-leader doldrums (which appear a couple times later on as well) stand out so starkly. Naturally, it's far more exciting when Sevchenko's going for broke to, say, infiltrate and destroy a Helghast communications camp, only to have to escape the onslaught of giant robots that catch him once he's painted himself into a corner.
This particular scene spotlights Killzone 3's stellar level design. Getting into the base undetected requires crawling around the outer area and silently picking off enemies scattered between buildings. Once busted, we dashed through the center, slipping from one of these structures to the next before flanking enemies in the outskirts' tall grass.
Killzone paces its action sequences in such a way that there's always something rad right around the corner. Firefights are much more enjoyable when surrounded by robot suits, vehicle sequences, gigantic rocket launchers and jetpacks. The jetpack – one of Killzone 3's big bullet points – doesn't overstay its welcome, either, so it's awesome to finally find one in the middle of a warzone.
Point, Shoot, Move
The most notable enhancement over Killzone 2 here isn't the stellar mission pacing, but the feel of Killzone 3 as a whole. The clunky, sluggish movement Sev suffered from last time is gone. He's limber and athletic, allowing him to slide into cover and leap over barriers, which makes him easier to control. Even better, shooting a Helghast soldier in the melon flat-out kills him – mercifully, there isn't that irritation that came with having to remove their helmets before a headshot kill.
The PlayStation Move controls benefit most from the tighter, more precise shooting mechanics. This is largely the reason we not only played most of Killzone 3 using motion controls, but why we preferred it to the SixAxis. Killzone 3 responds beautifully to the Move, and the button layout became second-nature almost instantly. Aiming is faster with a flick of the wrist, so it's easier to squeeze through the (irregular) frustrating areas of the game.
The main issue with Move here is the gestures. Jabbing outward to perform a "Brutal Melee" – cutting throats, stabbing eyes, snapping necks, etc. – doesn't work as well as intended, and frequently resulted in a quick and disorienting adjustment to our aim. The same goes for twisting the Move controller to reload; it's almost always easier to reach for the square button to avoid accidentally staring at the sky.
Moving on to Multiplayer...
The on-the-fly objective rotations engineered in Killzone 2 return, throwing new missions into the mix without changing the map or ending the match. This, along with mounted weapons, deployable turrets and flying sentries give the standard game modes – shoot everybody, capture the control points, attack and defend, etc. – the extra oomph they needed to stay away from sterility.
Pouring experience points into specific classes' unlockable weapons and abilities – reviving wounded allies, disguising as an enemy, and turning invisible are our favorites – is a much cleaner means to progress than Killzone 2's more confined system. Allocating points where and when you want allows unlocks that are more in tune with players' personal play style and preferences, and, as always, knowing that sweet new upgrade is just a few hundred XP away is what'll give Killzone 3 such long legs online.
While Killzone 3 improves on its predecessor in every necessary way, both online and off, its half-hearted attempt at co-op is incredibly disappointing. The game rocks, and it's naturally more enjoyable with a friend, but lack of an online cooperative campaign really hurts. It stings worse because the local co-op is so poorly done – the split screens are too small to see much, even on a 52" television, and the black bars eliminating what must be a third of the screen absolutely kill it. Why bother?
In The Zone
Provided you're not a stickler for narrative continuity, everything about Killzone 3's presentation rocks. If an abrupt and unexplained change in story direction is likely to strike a nerve, no amount of stylish cinematics and memorable scenes will take your mind off some of the game's glaring plot holes. Seriously, two main characters receive horrible knife wounds that go completely unaddressed after the fact – nobody thought to acknowledge this?
Oddities like this don't take anything away from Killzone 3 as a whole. Killzone 2 tested the waters of what the console was technically capable of. It planted the seed for what the franchise aspired to be, and it paved the way for Killzone 3 to become one of the PlayStation 3's most valuable exclusives.

Crossing the Mississippi one summer I wondered how my great-grandparents gathered the courage to pick up their things and the four small children; ride a railroad car to the edge of the Mississippi River; get on a barge and float across it; ride the rail till it ran out in Louisiana and finally get in a buggy to ride to east Texas where grandpa was the doctor for a sawmill. I'm telling you, I would still be in Mississippi. I am not courageous about the unknown. You see, I believe the unknown is a dangerous scary place. Bad things can happen in the future because I don't know what might happen. It might be really, really bad. I'll just stay put and stay out of trouble.
What I believe right now creates the world in which I live. So what might be different if I believed I was going to build a city on a strong foundation, on top of a mountain? What if I believed God was going ahead to that mountain and had a drawing of the temple for me to build? What if I believed children and grandchildren would live in a new land, free from persecution, free from the old ways that made some people nobility and some people slaves? What if I believed my children and my grandchildren could own land and raise crops and feed themselves and never be hungry again? What if I believed God was going to give a barren old woman a baby who would become a nation of people? Wow. What if I believed God was going to give a young unmarried woman a baby who would save the world? What if my wild imagination was a word from God?
Right here in Bee County people with courage and hope arrived with the railroad. They gathered in the county courthouse in 1885 for Sunday worship. They called themselves a Christian church – part of the Church of Christ and part of the Disciples of Christ – a uniquely American way of being the Body of Christ on earth. It was as if God used the railroad to bring this unique way of being church to this very place. But that's not all. The construction of the railroads and finally the trains themselves quadrupled the number of people living here – from 1,082 to 3,720 between 1870 and 1890. The Sarahs and Abrahams of South Texas. People who heard the call to pick up and move to a place where God the original architect and community organizer was planning to do great things.
All those people heard a call to pick up and go – to step out into a future they could not see. That is only possible when I believe the future that is coming will be for the better. If the call I hear is from God and I answer that call I can take a step of faith and move into a future that is coming but not yet here. The future God is making. In faith and by faith, our ancestors have done great things. My family and yours. They showed us how then and I believe they are showing us the way right now.
In this very place families are arriving to start new lives. Some of the young who grew up here heard a call to move to other places. Coming and going to begin something new. Is that not the word we hear in the Bible from beginning to end. Get up and go! Life is urging us now and always to begin again. Now and in the days to come, may the call of God pick you up to a new beginning – even if you never leave home. Amen!

Oliver Williamson Wins the Nobel Prize in Economics
By MortazaviBlog on Oct 12, 2009
Some 5 years ago, I started my first entry on blogs.sun.com with a brief note quoting from an essay by Oliver Williamson about strategizing vs. economizing. (That essay was published in his book, The Mechanisms of Governance.)
It is most fitting that I should end my series of blog entries on blogs.sun.com with something about professor Williamson, too.
Today (October 12, 2009), through a series of accidents starting with a doctor's visit in Alameda, I was actually passing through UC Berkeley when my wife called me with the news of professor Williamson winning the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics. I was luck because I was next to the Haas business school building and I had a real chance to drop by professor Williamson's office and to congratulate him in person. What a great honor, and what a great and most appropriate choice for a recipient of this prestigious prize in economics!

The Filibuster
You guys seem to have an opinion on most everything. So tell me, what
do you think about the Reds, the Rays and the oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico? Any chance they're related?
Sandusky, OH
Us? Have an opinion? Ya don't say! Shall we?
Subject: The Cincinnati Reds
Like oil spills, Republican victories and the birth of Mr. Krause, accidents do happen, people. Does a team led by a professional arm-killer who says "dude" way too often despite his old age have what it takes to stay in contention all year long? Probably. I mean, Dusty Baker has done it before. But just like before, this team too will eventually find a way to sink back down towards expectations. Let's face it: the only reason the Reds are atop the Central Division right now is because the Cardinals are faltering… but they won't for long.
Opinion: Overrated, destined to fail, not worth your time
Subject: The Tampa Bay Rays
Gee whiz! If ever there were a case for the evangelical loonies to get involved with Major League Baseball (not counting Josh "I love Jesus when he lets me do body shots" Hamilton) then this rise to the top for the Tampa Bay Rays is certainly it. Who knew that the only key to success for this once hapless franchise was to remove the word "devil" from their name? Any guesses for when the Yankees will try to follow suit by removing "New York" from theirs?
Opinion: Playoff Bound
Subject: BP Oil Spill
Like the Cincinnati Reds, Republican victories and the birth of Mr. Krause, accidents do happen, people. Oh… wait, did I already use that line? That must've been Johnnie Walker talking. Unfortunately, no amount of whisky will make this terrible accident and its disastrous effects go away anytime soon. Not since Chase Utley last removed his cap has the planet been exposed to such oil laden horrors; I expect clean-up efforts will require immense patience, determination and confidence… which, coincidentally, is also the recipe for surviving a summer in Philadelphia. Not everyone makes it out alive.
Opinion: This really sucks
Now… are they related you ask?
In as much as these events and situations are all taking place on the planet earth, in the month of May, two years before our imminent destruction predicted by the Mayans… yes, they are related.
Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much.
So don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Something on your mind? Want to see Jeff and Al sweat (separately, not
together, eww)? Think you got a real stumper? Send us your Filibuster
question(s) by commenting or emailing them to us at
***A lock from Jayson Werth's now shaven beard also welcome… Al is weird like that.

I don't care what people are saying about you, I think your funny, (funny haha or funny peculiar) hmmmm….. and how does someone in Sandusky know anything about the Reds…
I can officially now offer you a post in the Rays choir.
Sing it loud and sing it proud Brother J.
Seriously, who knew M C Hammer saying, "When they took the devil out, the win came in" would prove so prophetic….And this from an ex-Oakland A's batboy.
Oil slicks on the white caps will ruin those emerald waters and quartz sand beaches that squeck when you walk on them in the Panhandle of Florida.
Tragic thing, but got to say it has been coming every since they pushed through the earth's srust the first time deep out in that briny deep.
Hopefully we will not awaken any sea monsters or Krakens' when BP has to blast that thing closed…..
They might eat New Orleans.
Rays Renegade
I never thought I'd laugh while reading the words "oil spill," but this post made it happen. LOL on so many levels! Just hilarious.
Doh!! Just reassure and tell me again the Mayans are right.
ROFL ROFL! Omg i can't believe that you put a picture of Chase Utley's hair when you were talking about the oil spill. I'm with Jane on this one i never thought i'd be laughing about an oil spill but this is too funny😄 Honestly, maybe it's because I've seen chase utley multiple times because of their playoff run(s) but his hair is just so oily it's disturbing :P… i remember it getting a lot of attention
Peter — That I don't know… but they do have an amusement park I believe.
RR — I'll take the post in the choir. I could sing a bit back in my day😉
Jane — Funny 'cuz it's true😉
Mike — Let's hope… 2 years and counting my friend.
Mimi — For someone who can be as pampered as he wants to be, why he doesn't fix that hair I'll never know.

Students raise money for bat conservation
WAITSFIELD Fifth- and sixth-grade students at the Waitsfield Elementary School raised $700 for the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Departments Nongame Wildlife Fund to support research and conservation of Vermonts bat populations. The students presented the money to Director of Wildlife Mark Scott and to wildlife technician Alyssa Bennett in an all-school assembly on Dec. 7.
The students were inspired to raise money for bats after Bennett gave a presentation last spring on the massive die-offs that threaten several of Vermonts bat species with localized extinction. The die-offs have occurred during the last five years due to white-nose syndrome, a fungus that has affected bat colonies in the Northeast.
At a time when Vermonts bats continue to struggle, we are incredibly thankful to these students and teachers for reaching out to their community, sharing their knowledge, and raising financial support for bats, said Bennett. Vermont has been a leader in bat conservation since white-nose syndrome began to devastate the bat population. Our conservation efforts depend on the citizen reporting and community support we receive to be successful.
After learning about the threats facing Vermonts bats, the students were inspired to embark on a service learning project to help save them. The students built four-chambered bat boxes and sold them to raise money to donate to the Nongame Wildlife Fund. They also filmed public service announcements for their local TV station, composed a brochure on bat conservation, and created a childrens book on bats for their school library.
The beauty of this project was the organic development of student-generated projects that directly supported habitat restoration for bats in Vermont, said Waitsfield Elementary teacher Lee Van Dine. This project engaged students, staff and community members to raise awareness and support.
Bats generate an estimated $3.7 billion a year in benefits to North American agriculture through insect pest control and crop pollination, according to the journal Science. Vermont is home to nine bat species.
White-nose syndrome has caused a 90 percent decline in Vermonts two formerly most common bat species, the little brown bat and the northern long-eared bat, and it threatens fragile populations of the small-footed bat and Indiana bat.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Clean Energy plans to build 'solar garden'
- published_in
- Today's News
The Boulder Community Solar Array will consist of 2,016 solar panels and have the capacity to generate 500 kilowatts of energy. It will be built on 3.5 acres of land at 1600 66th St. in Boulder.
Utility company Xcel Energy Inc. and solar company REC Solar Inc. are partners in the project. Xcel provides power to Boulder, and REC Solar specializes in grid-tied solar electric design and installation. It has offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Jersey and Oregon.
"Solar garden" projects are made possible through the Colorado Community Solar Garden Act passed in 2010 by the state Legislature.
Clean Energy Collective will finance and manage the project. Tim Braun, a company spokesman, said Xcel residential and commercial customers who choose to participate will buy panels that are expected to range in price from $575 to $830 each. In return, customers will receive a credit each month from Xcel. At that rate, customers likely will see a return on their investment in three to five years. A federal renewable energy tax credit also will be available to customers, which will speed the time for a ROI to be realized.
Clean Energy expects to make a profit by marking up the panel price. It also will have the responsibility of maintaining the array.
The company has received $13 million in venture capital from New Energy Capital in New Hampshire and Black Coral Capital, which has offices in New York, Boston and Montreal, Braun said.
Clean Energy Collective moved its headquarters from Carbondale to Boulder in December. Its 7,000-square-foot headquarters at 3005 Center Green Drive, No. 210, houses sales, marketing, business development, project management and finance departments. About 15 percent of the company will remain elsewhere. It currently employs seven people, and plans to grow to 50 employees this year, he said.
Clean Energy Collective built its first solar garden near El Jebel, Colorado, in 201o, according to a press statement. Since then, the company has installed 2.7 megawatts of solar power generation in the state.

Hi all, my daughter is 3 weeks today and I worked really hard to get her to breastfeed after CB, first with shields and after very painful week of feeding I finally weaned her off(shields) and she was doing great and feeding 2-3 hours during the day and slept almost all night it was impossible to wake her up and feed her. Two days ago she started cluster feedings that last for about an hour and have almost no spacing in between except at night I get like an hour of sleep. I was thinking she hit growth spurt and let her nurse whenever she wanted. But now she is very fussy at breast and constantly pulling away and choking I read about OALD and tried different positions because my milk is still spraying very hard and I take her off when it happens because she is choking every time, but when it slows down she seems even fussier and would move her head with my breast in her mouth. When she finally calms down she nurses for 5 min and falls asleep for about 30 min, after that she wakes up and eats again. So I don't know what to think anymore. Is this a growth spurt or she is not getting hindmilk and is not completely satisfied I really don't want to give her bottle I worked so hard to get her to breastfeed and now I feel like it will be all for nothing if she will continue like this. I am also afraid to give her pacifier(will she hurt my breast again?), just in case she wants breasts for comfort and annoyed because milk comes out. She is having up to 10-12 diapers a day including poop. She is almost not getting any sleep no more than 1 hour at a time. Please help if this is normal and I should just continue doing what I was doing and it will be better eventually How others experience growth spurts or OALD ?
Thank you sincerely

Tommy John surgeon Jobe dies at 88
Jobe performed first elbow ligament sugery in 1974
Jobe, a sports medicine pioneer, was associated with the Dodgers for 50 years. He was best known for his revolutionary surgery on John, a pitcher for the Dodgers, in September 1974 that saved the left-hander's career. John went on to pitch 14 more seasons in the major leagues.
The procedure allowed countless others to continue to play the game since then.
"Frank Jobe is a Hall of Famer in every sense of the word," Dodgers president Stan Kasten said. "His dedication and professionalism in not only helping the Dodgers but athletes around the world is unparalleled. He was a medical giant and pioneer and many athletes in the past and the future can always thank Frank for finding a way to continue their careers."
Jobe served as an Army medic in World War II and landed at Normandy to care for the 101st Airborne during the Battle of the Bulge. It was then that he decided to become a doctor in order to help others.
"I was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Dr. Frank Jobe, a great gentleman whose work in baseball revolutionized sports medicine," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "Since 1974, his groundbreaking Tommy John surgery has revitalized countless careers, especially those of our pitchers. His wisdom elevated not only the Dodgers, the franchise he served proudly for a half-century, but all of our clubs."
Former and current players offered their condolences on Twitter.
"Today I lost a GREAT friend. Dr Frank Jobe passed this morning. #pioneer #letsdoitfoundation" John tweeted.
"He change my life!! Gave me back my career!! I will miss him and I am eternally grateful!!!" former Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser said.
"Just saw Dr Jobe passed away. He invented the surgery that gave me a chance to have a 10+yr as an MLB player. Baseball owes him a lot!" Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson said.
