Product Description
What was it like growing up to be a Lakota Sioux activist? Russell Means, an Oglala speaker, writer and the actor who played the title role in The Last of the Mohicans, recalls the lessons he heard from his grandfather, his encounters with racism and how he re-discovered ethnic pride and strength, and his involvement in the American Indian Movement (AIM) in its early days. From his firsthand experience with Native American culture and political action, Means tells us what he has learned about history, oppression and freedom, and gives insights into the current political story and what still needs to happen. "I want my people to become free," he says. "But first (other) Americans have to be free. We'll never regain our freedom as long as Americans are enslaved." (hosted by Michael Toms)
Russell Means (1939-2012) was an Oglala Sioux, Indian activist, and actor who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee and who later became a Hollywood actor. He became a prominent member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and appeared in numerous films including The Last of the Mohicans.

Skip to comments.Search for lost jet expands amid signs it flew on
Posted on 03/14/2014 7:59:01 AM PDT by gooblah
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- The search for the missing Malaysian jetliner expanded east and west on Friday after American officials said it was emitting signals to satellites for hours after its last contact with air traffic control nearly a week ago over the South China Sea.
Malaysian officials insisted that investigators had yet to reach a definitive conclusion on what radar and satellite data showed, and said the search was being expanded because efforts in current areas have not found any wreckage from the Boeing 777.
The possibility that the plane, carrying 239 people, flew many hundreds of miles (kilometers) beyond its last known location without any contact with the ground has strengthened speculation that its transponders and other communication devices were turned off deliberately.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
That plane is on planet Zoreon. They made a mistake, they were told that a lot of Zoreons were on that plane, but, these people on that plane, were actually Goreons. Now they can suffer because of that mistake.
That'll learn em.
Anything new here?
Im am going to go out on a limb again and say the following.
This aircraft is going to be used in a major terrorist op against the US before the November 2014 elections in order to save the Dems butts.
They could declare martial law, suspend habeus corpus, suspend elections indefinitely, etc.
OTOH, if the Dems played it right they could become the heroes of the hour by going after the bad guys. Then they lock in a popularity not seen in a very long time which translates into votes in November.
Generally speaking.... How the hell does a 777 just go missing? I know we are all into the speculation. But I had to ask myself, what is the real fascination with this story? Why am I interested? A plane crash in itself is news but not necessarily worthy of the attention this is getting.
So I have honestly concluded that the fascination in longer about a potential plane crash. But rather, a huge and obvious flying object that can hardly be conspicuous cannot be found. With all the technology we have today, humans on this planet cannot find an airplane and don't even know where to look. I understand the attraction to follow the mystery.
(Just doing an introspective reality check on myself)
Anybody consider that Farrakhan's Mother Ship could have sucked them up? It disturbs me that we are supposed to be able to track MISSILES in the air, but no one could see this plane. Whatever happened, they aren't coming back. Let it be a lesson- stay OUT of Muslim countries and NEVER get on a jet with Muslim pilots. I feel sorry for any non-Muslims aboard, but less Muslims on the planet is always a good thing.
"Lost" in real life.
Saw this on another site and this is very troubling about the Captain.
And in a German online forum for simulator enthusiasts, X-Sim.de, there is a post from November 2012 in his name that says he built it himself.
"About a month ago I finish assembly of FSX and FS9 with 6 monitors." The message was signed Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah BOEING 777 MALAYSIA AIRLINES
Satellite company says it registered signals
Inmarsat, the £3bn satellite company, registered routine, automated signals from MH370 on its network, the company said in a brief statement on its website.
The statement does not mention for how long the signals were received or when they stopped.
Inmarsat statement on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370
14 March 2014: Inmarsat has issued the following statement regarding Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Routine, automated signals were registered on the Inmarsat network from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 during its flight from Kuala Lumpur.
This information was provided to our partner SITA, which in turn has shared it with Malaysia Airlines.
For further information, please contact Malaysia Airlines.
Wanna bet there was much more fuel on this flight than the Malaysian authorities are admitting?
That plane is in Somalia and being prepped for an attack against Israel.
I think the up-link from the engines was an oversight.Once it was figured out that was happening someone shut it down.
The Iranians have stated in the past that they need to get the US out of the way before they attack Israel.
Assuming it's possible for the plane to be taken, shouldn't I be less concerned now than I should've been for the few days after the plane disappeared? Now, there's going to be scrutiny. It will be harder to fly such a large rogue airplane.
Keep in mind that four blood red Moons are coming up over the next two years on the Jewish holidays of Passover and Sukkot.

Four 'blood-red' total lunar eclipses will fall on Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015, the same back-to-back occurrences at the time of 1492, 1948 and 1967

You've accurately nailed *exactly* what I've been thinking. We're so technologically "connected" to the world today and so used to being able to find information at the click of a button; it's unnerving that a plane and 200+ people could seemingly vanish without a trace. A mystery indeed.
I'm not so sure the engine uplink was shut down. I think they continued all the way to Somalia and we're not being told about it.
Unless that aircraft is disguised both visually and electronically to look like another 777.
The media(as usual)is turning this into yet another soap opera/reality TV show.
Were elections suspended during the Civil war?
IF this aircraft emits any electronic signals the US is/has been able to determine it's location. I tend to think our intelligence folks know where it is. They're watching to determine what the end game is.
Looking back at naval air battles in the Pacific during WWII, considering the technology of the day, it's a marvel they were able to find each other, let alone engage in battle.
Agreed. You need to follow the path of the snake back to the nest.
While the world is kept in the dark about this, there are either delicate negotiations happening or a full scale military rescue operation.
It's also critical to remember that 20 of the "hostages" are employees of Freescale Semiconductor, a major defense contractor that specializes in electronic warfare systems.
" IF this aircraft emits any electronic signals the US is/has been able to determine its location. " yes sir, your so right, they already know where it is, but aren't letting the public know.
Here with Malaysian Airlines, this is one little plane lost for six days so far.
Did it have enough fuel to fly to Diego Garcia (for the tin-foil hat conspiracy crowd)?
Put a nuke in it and fly it over our mid west. A 20 m-ton emp would wipe out our electrical grid and communications.
That has crossed my mind, too. If the aircraft was flying at 35K+ feet I don't know how large the EMP would spread.
From my understanding, that's the problem. The last known position that is being reported to the public keeps changing.
The extra fuel would not have had to be put in at last location. If they added X amount then someone else could have put a larger amount in earlier
Where did the plane come from?
Owned by Carlyle Group.
Virtually none. It would need to be well over 100k feet to produce any. It would be useful to get an airburst going at 3k-5k feet or whatever though. And of course as a ramming jet. Or bio/chem but that would take a lot of modification that I doubt any smaller group would be able to do.
I think it'll have either an Iranian or NorK nuke on board and fly over either DC or Wall Street. A financial or political decapitation of the US would set Israel to be invaded by Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood nations surrounding her.
Hopefully they are looking for any non-transponder big jets flying around. And they couldn't possibly make it across either ocean going at low alt because of fuel. It would take a serious operation to get it flying again at all. I'd imagine if it was taken the target wouldn't be all that far away. I still think it was United 93'd most likely.
The Muzzies have to top themselves in relation to 9/11.
If they have computer techs working on the aircraft they could put in a legitimate transponder code, re-paint the aircraft, and do anything else to make it look legit. Then file a fictitious flight plan to the US and get into the system. No one would be the wiser among the many other aircraft flying on the NATRACK.
Ilovesarah2012, very interesting!
Cyber Liberty,
Pinging you to this post and the one to which it replied!
Maggief, is there a site where we can look this up?
Do we have proof EMP's work or exist? If so why didn't we use in our Afganistan or Iraq?
Started looking at info about Freescale and saw they are owned by Carlyle and of course, Soros is involved with Carlyle, along with a lot of rich and powerful people. Tom Clancy would know what happened to the plane.
So Obama and Holder are behind it. The reason so many Pentegon Generals have disapared.
Why do you find if troubling that the pilot built a simulator?
EMP has been known since he detonated the first atomic bomb.
Use EMP on a third world nation? It wouldn't affect them very much. Life would go on as usual for them.

Last week, Pope Benedict XVI made a statement about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. He was talking to reporters on his way to Portugal, on a plane. Sins within the Church had become truly terrifying, he told them. Penitence had to be done; forgiveness had to be sought.
Sexual abuse in the Church has been reported all over Europe, and in 95% of 195 dioceses in the US. Last Thursday, Bishop Gino Reali testified in the sex abuse trial of a Roman priest. And last March, Benedict XVI sent an open letter to apologize for the serious mistakes made in response to pedophilia in an Irish church. As an Archbishop of Munich and Freising, as Dean of the College of Cardinals, and as Pope, Joseph Ratzinger has repeatedly confronted sexual abuse. But it has always been thus.
For the 2000 years since Jesus made Peter, or petros, the "rock," or foundation of his Church, giving him the keys to the kingdom of heaven with the power to bind and loose, Roman bishops have ministered to the material needs of the faithful, and to their souls. The better to do that, they've made personal sacrifices. They've been celibate, from the Latin caelebs, or unmarried. But they haven't always been chaste, from the Latin castus, or uninterested in sex.
As everybody knows, within a generation after Jesus of Nazareth was hung on a cross, his apostles were discouraging followers from getting married. "Are you free from a wife?" Paul of Tarsus asked. If they were, it was better to stay that way. "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do," he wrote in a letter. Then he added, "he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do better."
The apostles who spread the good news, or gospels, soon after Paul was beheaded in Rome, wrote variations on that theme. Anybody who'd left behind "brothers or sisters or mother or father or children" would end up in heaven -- on that, Mark, Matthew and Luke all agreed. Matthew added a recommendation on behalf of "eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven;" and Luke added the thought, "blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!"
But as everybody knows, there was trouble in that paradise. Toward the end of the 4th century, roughly a generation after the emperor Constantine the Great left Rome for his new capital, Constantinople, a Portuguese bishop, Pope Damasus, had a secretary from the Balkans, by the name of Jerome. And Jerome was unhappy in the land of the purple harlot, the town he called Babylon. So he wrote letters about Roman priests who curled their hair with tongs, covered themselves with perfume, and devoted their whole lives knowing the wherebouts and inclinations of married women. Early every morning, they'd show up at the houses of those women and force their way into their bedrooms -- where they loved a "savory breakfast," but found chastity "distasteful." Those problems didn't go away soon.
Toward the close of the Middle Ages, there was more bad news. Peter Damian, the Cardinal Bishop of Ostia, sent a letter in 1049 to Pope Leo IX, about the sexual abuse of boys. Erotic clerics who sodomized their spiritual sons ought to be deprived of their status, or worse. Peter sent another letter, ten years later, to Pope Nicholas II, about clerical abuses of women. It was high time for men in orders to "bar the door of their loins," and to tie their "priestly genitals" up. Everybody knew where their prostitutes lived, the names of their mistresses, or who their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law were, "and lastly, to remove all doubt, there were the obvious pregnancies and squalling babies."
Occasionally, ordained men have been brought up before ecclesiastical councils. In the spring of 1274, Henry of Gelders, the Bishop of Liége, was deposed -- for "incontinence," as the father of 61 daughters and sons. And in November of 1414, at the Council of Constance, 29 cardinals, 183 bishops and 134 abbots heard 44 articles read out against Baldassarre Cossa, the antipope John XXIII -- a pirate and rapist, murderer and sodomist, who'd hired and maintained sacrilegious intercourse with 300 nuns, violated 3 sisters, "and imprisoned a whole family in order to abuse the mother, son and father."
Other Roman bishops weren't always exempt. On a spring day in 1493, Pope Alexander VI, who was born Roderic de Borja in Spain, gave away the youngest of his bastard daughters, the 13-year-old Lucrezia, to a husband in the Vatican palace. She was escorted by "the pope's concubine," Giulia la bella Farnese, and by a bastard granddaughter of the pope's predecessor, Innocent VIII. 9 years later, when Lucrezia was given away to another husband, the cardinal Cesare Borgia, her bastard brother, asked 50 prostitutes to a prenuptial supper -- where they all crawled "naked on their hands and knees" after chestnuts.
Popes were responsible for bastards long before the Borgias, of course. Among others: Gregory I the Great admitted he was a descendant of meus atavus, his great-great-grandfather, Felix III; Adrian II had a daughter carried off by his librarian's brother; Sergius III was the father of John XI; John XXII made one of his own sons a cardinal -- "as many said, for there was a great likeness as well as a similar ferocity of character;" Pius II asked his father to raise his bastards -- "I have loved many women, and after winning them have grown weary of them;" and Innocent VIII owned up to 16 spurious daughters and sons. Even St Paul referred to his "true yokefellow," who may have been a woman companion. And before he was hung upside down on a cross alone in Rome, even St Peter had a mother-in-law, who was cured of a fever by Jesus.
Celibacy, as it turns out, is even older than Paul's harsh letter to the Corinthians, or Jesus' teaching on the road to Jerusalem. Birds do it. Mongooses do it. Like Simon Peter, they've fed and defended other members of their mobs, or nests. And they haven't always abstained from sex.
Meerkats -- the notorious mongooses of Meerkat Manor -- live in mobs on the Kalahari that number in the dozens. But only 2 of those animals breed. Everybody else is unpairbonded, or effectively celibate -- a "cooperative" breeder, or "helper-at-the-nest." They act as sentinels -- standing upright for hours at a time, scanning the skies and the horizon for predators. And they act as babysitters -- feeding hungry, begging, pups. Some helpers try to become breeders, but that doesn't always work out. Subordinate males make frequent extraterritorial forays, prospecting for mating opportunities. But subordinate females who become renegade mothers are evicted from the group.
So it goes in birds. White-fronted bee-eaters live in colonies along the vertical cliffs of Africa's Great Rift Valley. Most clans include 3-17 birds; and only some of those birds are paired. The rest help -- by incubating eggs, feeding fledglings, excavating banks and defending the nest. But on the side, females sometimes lay eggs in other birds' nests. And males go after EPCs, or extra-pair copulations.

PETA Rescue: Dog Saved From Life on Chain
The first four years of Oliver's life consisted of little more than a small patch of dirt, a metal barrel, and a heavy chain. This sweet mixed-breed's owner gave him food and water in dirty, rusty metal bowls—and little else. Day after day, he waited for the kind word or gentle pat that never came.
Desperate to help the dog, a frequent passerby made numerous calls to animal control and the local humane society but to no avail. Faced with the onset of another harsh Midwestern winter, the man then called PETA for help.
It took some persuasion, but we convinced the neglectful owner to surrender Oliver. A PETA member in the area offered to foster him until we found an adopter, but it soon became clear to the foster "mom" that Oliver was right where he belonged.
Now the lovable dog sleeps in bed with his doting guardian every night. Free from the chain, he has discovered the joy of running and makes his guardian laugh while he gleefully zips around 2 acres of land under her watchful eye.
Oliver's story would not have had a happy ending without the persistence of his rescuer. If you know of a chained dog in your area, please help—you may be the dog's only hope.

Why is it in America you feel the need to chain dogs??? why is this allowed??? all you have to do is look at Oliver's beautiful happy face and i think the rescuer should be very proud of themselves for saving this lovely little dog, well done, i hope more people help all the other dogs still suffering.
Horray for Oliver!!!
So glad that Oliver is in a safe loveing home!
This is such a beautiful story! PETA you are absolutely amazing, and so is the man who had the courage to do something about poor conditions that poor dog was living in. So inspirational! hope Olivia is doing well. keep it up! 🙂

RUSH: Vinny in Queens. Vinny, I'm glad you waited. Great to have you, as always. Hi.
CALLER: Dittos, great one. It's always an honor to speak with you.
RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate that.
CALLER: I need about 60 seconds, Rush, to get it off my chest. I can't tell you how outraged I am. I heard the anger in your voice as soon as you came on the air, and I want you to know that anger was felt by a lot of us. We're one step away from outright confiscation of property -- under a premise of political correctness, safety, equity, you name it -- from this government.
I mean, what's to stop the Department of Transportation from saying, "SUVs have been deemed destructive to the country as a whole. Therefore, we're confiscating them"? I mean, I am so outraged at this whole Washington Redskins thing, but I'm even more outraged over a GOP that's unwilling to do anything -- and I do believe something can be done. I don't see why the head of the patent office cannot be called down.
Get him before a committee like Darrell Issa's committee and put him on the spot and have congressmen demand to know, "By whose authority do you think you can take away a private citizen's right of property? Who the hell made you God? Take away an entire team's right of property? Who gave you this authority, sir?" I don't know if I'm madder at Obama -- 'cause you're right, this comes from Obama -- or if I'm madder at my political party for sitting mute while every day my rights are stripped from me one by one.
RUSH: Well, "your political party," just to explain again -- and I'm sure, 'cause you're here every day, you've heard me read excerpts from... Beinart. Whatever his first name is, his piece on what the Republicans better learn real fast if they ever want to win. Peter Beinart. Yeah. His piece, Vinny, basically said that there are demographic changes happening in this country that are transforming the country into one of "social justice" and "tolerance."
That means that minorities of any stripe are now empowered, and if the Republicans don't get in gear with this -- and if the Republican base continues to oppose this -- they're just gonna make it happen even faster. I'm convinced the Republicans in Washington buy into that. I think they would look at this Redskins thing and be saying, "Oh, my God!"
"We can't go after that. I mean, they'll call us racists, and they'll say that we're in favor of racism and that we want to discriminate against the Indians." That's how they're, I think, paralyzed. I think the left has executed a number of tricks on 'em and they're literally paralyzed. They're afraid they're gonna lose elections or get negative media coverage if they speak out on this.
CALLER: Well, two answers to that -- or one answer, at least. Better to die on my feet than on my knees, and if wanting a team to be called the Washington Redskins makes me racist, then I guess, by God, I am racist. How ridiculous. The reason this is perpetuated like this is because we fall prey to it, okay? There's nothing more racist about being called a Washington Redskins than the very town I'm calling from.
This is Maspeth, Queens, which happens to be an Indian name. Now, the ridiculousness of this in one way, shape, manner or form or another has gotta run its course. I just think it's a crying shame that in my lifetime, I'm seeing what's happening to this country. It is hard for me. It is hard for me to see what's going on before my eyes and feel powerless to do nothing.
RUSH: I know. I totally agree with you about the lack of push-back. There's only one party in Washington, Vinny. It's the Party of Power. It's got members from the Democrats and the Republicans and the Libertarians and the Socialists, the Marxists, you name it. It's the Party of Power. But I think that Peter Beinart piece -- and he's not the first guy to say it. It's just the way it was written, pointing out, "Look, the only thing standing in the way of the left totally dominating this country with their new agenda of social justice and tolerance..." and you know what that means, don't you?
CALLER: Sure. Of course.
RUSH: I mean, you know that the only thing standing between that becoming the majority viewpoint and governing body and what have you, is the Tea Party, is the Republican base. Beinart says if the Republican base continues to oppose this, they're just gonna anger people even more and hasten this demographic shift.
The point is the Republican leadership, I think, has bought that. What else would explain their open support for amnesty? They must believe what the Democrats are telling them, and whoever it is telling them, that they're never gonna win another election if they don't get some Hispanic votes. The way to get Hispanic votes in Washington is to stand for amnesty. It's absurd, but they obviously believe it.
So here comes this Redskins thing. Now, again, to put this in its proper context: The Redskins name has not been taken from them. They can still call themselves the Washington Redskins. What the Patent and Trademark Office did is take away their property rights to the trademark. It's no different than if they decide to tell the Dallas Cowboys, "You don't own 'Dallas Cowboys' anymore because it offends Indians.
"It offends Native Americans. So the 'Dallas Cowboys' name, since it's offending people, violates political correctness, you can't own that anymore," which means, then, that anybody can use it. You can open a restaurant called the Dallas Cowboys. You can start your own T-shirt line, make your own cap, whatever, and call it "Dallas Cowboys." They don't own it -- meaning, they would lose a lot of money.
Since they don't want to lose a lot of money, the idea is they would change their name to something exclusive that the Regime approves of, and they would get a new trademark. That's the thinking on this. This is just step one in the Regime trying to get that name changed and trying to force the Redskins into doing it. But in the process, what this is is the purposeful taking of private property.
The Redskins own the trademark, and it was granted them by this very Patent and Trademark Office. Now they just unilaterally, because of essentially five people, said, "You know what? You're offending people, offending political correctness. You can't use it anymore. We take it away." You're right. That kind of power, in our Constitution, does not exist. But this is my point when I say that the Obama presidency is just now getting started, and it's outrageous. I'm like you. I try to come up with a way to describe my outrage, and I fall short of anything. Vinny, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.

- Abstract
- We make use of interferometric CO and H i observations, and optical integral-field spectroscopy from the ATLAS3D survey, to probe the origin of the molecular and ionized interstellar medium (ISM) in local early-type galaxies. We find that 36 ± 5 per cent of our sample of fast-rotating early-type galaxies have their ionized gas kinematically misaligned with respect to the stars, setting a strong lower limit on the importance of externally acquired gas (e.g. from mergers and cold accretion). Slow rotators have a flat distribution of misalignments, indicating that the dominant source of gas is external. The molecular, ionized and atomic gas in all the detected galaxies are always kinematically aligned, even when they are misaligned from the stars, suggesting that all these three phases of the ISM share a common origin. In addition, we find that the origin of the cold and warm gas in fast-rotating early-type galaxies is strongly affected by environment, despite the molecular gas detection rate and mass fractions being fairly independent of group/cluster membership. Galaxies in dense groups and the Virgo cluster nearly always have their molecular gas kinematically aligned with the stellar kinematics, consistent with a purely internal origin (presumably stellar mass loss). In the field, however, kinematic misalignments between the stellar and gaseous components indicate that at least 42 ± 5 per cent of local fast-rotating early-type galaxies have their gas supplied from external sources. When one also considers evidence of accretion present in the galaxies' atomic gas distributions, ≳46 per cent of fast-rotating field ETGs are likely to have acquired a detectable amount of ISM from accretion and mergers. We discuss several scenarios which could explain the environmental dichotomy, including preprocessing in galaxy groups/cluster outskirts and the morphological transformation of spiral galaxies, but we find it difficult to simultaneously explain the kinematic misalignment difference and the constant detection rate. Furthermore, our results suggest that galaxy mass may be an important independent factor associated with the origin of the gas, with the most massive fast-rotating galaxies in our sample (MK≲−24 mag; stellar mass of ≈8 × 1010 M⊙) always having kinematically aligned gas. This mass dependence appears to be independent of environment, suggesting it is caused by a separate physical mechanism.

LONGWOOD—For the fourth year in a row, trains are pulling into the station—the one encompassing the Grissettown-Longwood Volunteer Fire Department, to be exact.

If you're venturing west anytime during the holidays—especially toward Tennessee via western North Carolina—don't forget not to take Interstate 40.
For anyone who's been stuck under a boulder and hasn't heard, a massive rockslide fell down and went kaboom there Oct. 25, near the line of demarcation between the Volunteer and Tar Heel states.

ASH—Don't think tomato season is over just because it's December.
Winter tomatoes are just starting to ripen at Waccamaw River Farm & Nursery. Other varieties are still being harvested at two other popular produce markets in the area.
For the past few months, several greenhouse varieties have begun to color the landscape with seasonal red and green, in addition to a bonus yellow at Waccamaw River Farm & Nursery in Ash.
Franklin D. Roosevelt may have been on to something when he moved Thanksgiving up a week in 1939.
Annually celebrated on the last Thursday of November since Abraham Lincoln's presidency in 1863, FDR chose to move the holiday a week earlier in '39 at the requests of retailers and businesses.
See, there were five Thursdays that November, and Thanksgiving fell on the 30th. Leaving only 25 days for shoppers to secure holiday goodies and only 25 days for businesses to cash in on the holiday rush, FDR chose to move the holiday that year and the next two.
SUNSET BEACH—Police investigated a number of burglaries and thefts reported during the Thanksgiving holiday period and weekend.
On Nov. 25, a Tom Tom GPS navigation system was reported stolen from a motor vehicle parked at Duncan Place.
SUPPLY—Coastline Rescue's dwindling volunteer roster has the squad chief and president worried about the volunteer squad's future.
Squad president David Robinson and chief Mike Murphy say the squad desperately needs volunteers. Unlike volunteer fire departments that receive money from fire fees in the district they serve, Murphy said volunteer rescue squads receive no state funds.
SUPPLY—When a resident of a vacation home on Talman Street in the Ocean View area of Supply came to Brunswick County this week, an unexpected visitor was in the home.
Brunswick County Sheriff's detective Tony Caison said Nelson Alexander Caraballo was living in the Talman Street home for an unknown amount of time, which was last secured by the homeowner in September.
Nothing was reported stolen from the residence.
"A vacationer came into the residence and walked in and [Caraballo] was in there," Caison said.
It took a party-line vote for Senate Democrats to win the right to debate Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's healthcare reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on the Senate floor.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, introduced the Senate version of the bill Wednesday, Nov. 18.
In what Superior Court Judge Ola Lewis called the "first annual" match up between the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office "Bad Boys" and participants and volunteers with the Brunswick County Drug Treatment Court, the "Bad Boys" narrowly defeated their opponents 33-31.
The "Bad Boys" joined drug treatment court participants and volunteers, including a probation officer, on the hard court last week at Brunswick Community College.

Childhood acute leukaemia (AL) accounts for a third of childhood cancers. Analysing the spatial distribution of the incidence of AL and its lymphoblastic and myeloblastic subtypes may contribute to the identification of risk factors. This national registry-based study aimed to evaluate global spatial heterogeneity in the incidence rates of AL and to detect clusters in France over the period 1990–2006 on the 'living-zone' scale. Between 1990 and 2006, 7675 cases of AL were registered in the National Registry of Childhood Haematopoietic malignancies. Their spatial distribution in the 1895 'living zone' was first evaluated with two tests for global spatial heterogeneity (Potthoff–Witthinghill and Rogerson's tests) and then with the SaTScan and FleXScan methods, which aim to locate spatial and space–time clusters. Over 1990–2006, no spatial heterogeneity of AL or its subtypes was evidenced. In addition, none of the most likely clusters identified with SaTScan and FleXScan over the whole period was significant, and the systematic search for space–time clusters yielded nonsignificant results. However, when three subperiods were considered, five statistically significant nonoverlapping spatial clusters were identified. This study did not find evidence of any global spatial heterogeneity of AL incidence rates in France over the period 1990–2006. Although no significant spatial cluster was detected over the whole period, the study identified a few significant spatial clusters in specific periods. Even though the significance levels of those clusters do not strongly support the existence of local risk factors, the clusters may still reflect a slight impact of shared risk factors, including background environmental exposures, which require further investigation.

Hi, i normally understand integration by partial fractions, but ive come across a sum i can't figure out how to get the answer. Any chance anyone could give me a hand?
I'm not going to tell you the exact question because thats cheating, but..
Integrate x^(a power) / (x^3-1)
Thanks for your time
It's the same as your old grade-school long division. The quotient will be expressed by itself (over 1) and the remainder must be placed over the original denominator.
EDIT: By that, I mean write out all of your coefficients of different degrees of X as if they were the different value places in basic long division.

Two inmates were killed and three other people wounded in a fight at Yanamayo prison in the southeastern region of Puno, the head of Peru's INPE penitentiary service said Friday.
The fight erupted Thursday night and involved prisoners in two cellblocks, Jose Luis Perez told RPP radio.
Two inmates were stabbed to death, while another prisoner and two prison employees were injured, he said.
Authorities searched the prison for weapons after the brawl and initiated an investigation to identify the ringleaders, Perez said.
Located at an altitude of 3,800 meters (12,459 feet), remote Yanamayo prison has become a maximum-security lockup holding people convicted of terrorism and other serious crimes. EFE

We're going to test yet another original GeForce GTX 780 Ti today. This time around, it is an ASUS product called GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC.
Besides our standard testing, we will see how the performance of a GeForce GTX 780 Ti scales out depending on its graphics memory frequency. Today we've got a good opportunity for such a test as you will see shortly.
Specifications and Recommended Price
The specs and price of the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC are listed in the following table in comparison with those of the reference Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti, Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 and AMD Radeon R9 290X.
Packaging and Accessories
The graphics card comes in ASUS's traditional retail packaging with claw marks on the front of the box. You can also see a picture of the cooling system there.
The card's video outputs, key features and system requirements are detailed on the back of the box. There's a black cardboard box inside the colorful external wrapper. The card is placed in its center amidst pieces of foam rubber. Above it, there is a small flat box with accessories.
The accessories to the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC include a power adapter, a brief installation guide, a CD with drivers and overclocking utility, and two sets of stickers for the card's cooler.
There are no video adapters or games among the accessories.
Manufactured in China, the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC comes to retail for $699, which is the recommended price of the reference GTX 780 Ti. Original versions of this card from other brands cost considerably more. The product is shipped with a 3-year warranty.

Cap-And-Trade And Paying For China Too
Who are these people?
I'm obviously mistaken if I think they're in office to represent the citizens of the United States of America. Apparently, instead, they represent the Chinese:
"It's important that those who consume the products being made all around the world to the benefit of America — and it's our own consumption activity that's causing the emission of greenhouse gases, then quite frankly Americans need to pay for that," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.
That's United States Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, folks.
Of course, after Locke shoots off his mouth and forgets for whom he works, the Joe Biden treatment comes into play. Behold, the official disclaimer that makes it all officially okeydokey:
"Secretary Locke has been very clear on emphasizing the importance of fair trade as a part of the United States' relationship with China. He believes U.S. companies should not be disadvantaged by Chinese imports not bound by responsible policies to reduce carbon emissions. China and the US must work together to ensure a level playing field and reduce our carbon footprints. The Secretary's trip to China demonstrated his commitment to fair trade and his belief that both the United States and China can benefit from shared investments and cooperation in clean energy that will lead to commercial and environmental benefits for both countries."
In other words, he didn't say what he said and we say so. Orwell would be freakin' proud.
I swear – sometimes words just fail me when I watch the absolute travesty our government has become. And no, not just since January. But they sure have caused the process to speed up.
13 Responses to Cap-And-Trade And Paying For China Too
They are not saying they represent the Chinese, they are saying they are going to put a "carbon tariff" on foreign made goods. None of the revenue involved will be given to China, instead it will be used to fund expanded healthcare, TARP or whatever else they dream up.
"It's important that those who consume the products being made all around the world to the benefit of America — and it's our own consumption activity that's causing the emission of greenhouse gases, then quite frankly Americans need to pay for that," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai."
Incredible, these people must be taking money from the Chinese as they are obviously representing them. I wonder if anyone with the means to do this kind of investigation is looking into that.
You really have to wonder exactly how many "Cap-And-Trade" IOUs are outstanding.
Just like the S&L, dot-com, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac scams of the last couple of decades, "Cap-And-Trade" has many fathers and many beneficiaries, all directly or indirectly on the "public dime." It's absolutely amazing that the scam still continues while the underlying science has vaporized and the scam is now operating in plain sight.
Charitably, Locke's attitude might be compared to that of a man who uses his own waterhose to put out a growing fire on his neighbor's property when the neighbor refuses to do anything about it.
Less than charitably (and more accurately), it's rather more like a crazy man IMAGINING a fire on his neighbor's property, and the neighbor chortling over the idea of getting his yard thoroughly watered for free.
James Marsden refers to TAO as "The Clown". That's understating the truth: this whole friggin' administration and Congress is full of people who ought to be insane asylums.
So let me get this right – On top of murderous rates of spending and a horrible bunch of energy and medical programs, they want to simultaneously give our money to China, and raise tariffs?
The level of incompetence and lunacy boggles the mind.
I would be more than happy if The Clown™ and his entire crooked maladministration would go to Beijing and serve the Chinese people and government. They are definitely not serving us, the American people, but instead doing their utmost to pitch us into ruin. The sooner they clear out of the US and avoid fugging this country up any further, the better I would feel.
The question is, "What would be your response if someone came around, grabbed your wallet, and when you fought back they decided to push you off a cliff as well? What do you do?"
I suspect this is a primer for making the Carbon Tax take the form of a National Sales Tax.
Sorry. Meant to add that a sales tax can be hidden at the checkout and won't show up on the W2/paycheck. Basically a way to mask the pain of this new tax.
You know, you can imagine in China it's like, ching-chong, ching-chong, Danny DeVito.
Apparently you have pissed off some chinese guy with perplexing Engrish 🙂
Who have been these people? I'm patently in error if we consider they're in bureau to paint a adults of a United States of America. Apparently, instead,
Read a strange post:
Rosie O'Donnell was right 😉
Well, in the end the consumer pays for taxes through a higher price on the product.
But somehow I doubt that's what he was talking about.
This is not the funny kind of irony: Scientists say the chemicals that helped solve the last global environmental crisis — the hole in the ozone layer — are making the current one worse.
The chemicals, called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), were introduced widely in the 1990s to replace ozone-depleting gases used in air conditioners, refrigerators and insulating foam.
They worked: The earth's protective shield seems to be recovering.
But researchers say what's good for ozone is bad for climate change. In the atmosphere, these replacement chemicals act like "super" greenhouse gases, with a heat-trapping power that can be 4,470 times that of carbon dioxide.

What are your attempts at these?
Have you herd the expression "Inverse operations"?
Hi, have just started a foundation degree, am doing A level algebra as part of the course, it is all new to me . Please could somebody help me with the following questions. I need the method for solving these? Any help would be appreciated. See pic below, thankyou
This is a novel approach although I don't think the method from the 1st question here could match the other questions. You need to know about using inverse operations and which to apply when.
Making k the subject you need to move it into the numerator.
As it is being divided in the RHS we need to multiply (the inverse of divide) to both sides giving
Now the only thing keep k from being isolated is the a. It is multiplying so we need to divide it from both sides giving

Brendan DeMelle | April 25, 2013
By Brendan DeMelle • Thursday, April 25, 2013 - 14:35
You don't see this every day. President Barack Obama used Twitter today to call out climate deniers in Congress who are blocking political action to address climate change.
The tweet links to this video released by Organizing for Action, the 501(c)(4) campaign group that promotes the President's national agenda.
Obama is taken in by climate denier tactics...
Debating huh… hmmm Wonder what that would accomplish? Haven't we been debating this for 20 years or so? Calling for debates is sort legacy stuff, don't you think. I thought debating was a delaying tactic.
How about restoring climate satellite funding? Maybe call for carbon tax? How about calling for international discussions? Or how about more research? Or how about calling for the courts to face the issue? How about backing your own EPA on limiting carbon dioxide emissions?
Twitter rhymes with fritter. President Obama should feel free to address the issue directly and speak to the American people and the citizens of the world. Twitter just does not do the job.
I think this goes a bit beyond discussing things.
I think Obama wants people to get into the face of those politicians and stop arguing with their quislings on the internet.
Perhaps we need a skeptical science like web page to put their words up and compare them with reality. If it looks like a politician fell of a turnip truck.. make it more obvious, and make it easy to share.
It was Republicans who created the EPA. It was Republicans that ended slavery. What do they stand for now? "Enrich us, or we won't let the country run?" Sorry, but I think the people deserve better. The American people have to make Climate Change an election issue in order to get something done. Republicans will have to support it in order to get elected.
Canadian Conservatives are waking up to a new reality. Folks really do care about the environment, despite what the Corporate Handlers are pushing them for;
"Preston Manning, like Al Gore, never quite made it to the top job. Like Gore, this has freed him to dispense inconvenient truths, like this one. "Conservatives are generally considered, and this by our friends, to be weak or disinterested on the environment – the issue of greatest concern to many of our children and grandchildren."
"Whether it's fair or not, the bad news is that this perceived deficiency on the environmental front has become a political and economic liability.""

News and Media
Q&A: Gary Haq on his history of modern environmentalism
Gary Haq answers questions about his new book, which traces the evolution of the modern environmental movement, its major successes, and the road ahead.
Haq is a 'human ecologist' and research associate at SEI-York. He co-authored Environmentalism Since 1945 with Alistair Paul.
Q: You say in your introduction that the widespread view that 'green' is good could lead to the conclusion that 'we are all environmentalists now'. Are we really?
A: There is a general consensus on the need to protect the environmental to maintain clear air, water and soil and to conserve natural landscapes and resources to protect human health and well-being. Most countries have ministries of environment and/or environmental protection agencies, and many governments have embraced the concept of sustainable development. But closing the 'value-action gap' – putting into practice what we believe – is a key challenge for government agencies, industry and individuals.
Q: Media coverage of dramatic pollution events has greatly increased awareness of environmental issues. To what extent is fear of disasters a good driver for environmental action?
A: The environmental movement has, to some extent, used fear to raise public awareness about the potential consequences of pollution (e.g. the effects of nuclear radiation, air pollution, GM food or climate change). This combined with information to empower individuals to take action has proven to be a successful tactic. However, fear can also cause apathy and resignation when used to address a enormous global problem such as climate change. A more positive vision of a low-carbon future needs to be communicated.
Q: You talk about advancing an 'alternative worldview that integrates society, economy, ecology and equity', and about a 'new era of green localism'. How big a leap would that be?
A: While there are many local initiatives addressing community energy, food, transport, these are done separately. If we are to address future environmental, social and economic challenges, we need to take a more holistic approach. Focusing on carbon emission reductions alone will fail to engage a disinterested and suspicious public. Thus it is necessary to place well-being at the centre and address issues of resource efficiency together with carbon reduction. Some initiatives are beginning to do this, but we need more, especially if we are to reach beyond the white middle class.
Q: Has the role of environmental advocates changed?
A: Environmental groups continue to play a key role in engaging with governments and international agencies, but they need to evolve with the times. A new approach is needed to engage local communities using social media. We need to return to the grassroots to close the gap between what people think and what they actually do. No longer can we pay our annual subscription to an environmental charity, feel good about it, then fly off to some far-flung destination. Allowing individuals to effect change on a local and personal level will also help gain their interest in national and global campaigns.
Q: You note that environmentalists 'have traditionally been suspicious of new technology' and opposed GM crops and nuclear power, for example. Where do you stand on these issues?
A: There is no denying that technology has a role to play in resolving many environmental problems. However, some technologies should be treated as a 'last resort'. Our first priority should be to address the level of consumption and the efficiency of consumption. We need to promote energy conservation and improve the efficiency of our housing stock, for example, and adopt renewable energy technologies before opting for nuclear. However, we may be in a situation where we cannot afford to leave any technology out of the mix, no matter how undesirable it might be.
The book is available through Routledge or on Amazon.com.

Read Forecast Queue using Integration Event to Create Appointment in .NET
Nov 28, 2012 2:46 PM
I downloaded the WSDL object for Integration Event and placed the same in my .NET code. There are 2 events, get events and delete events. Need to read the events from the Queue and query Forecast and in turn create appointment.
If I can place the schema of Activity and Opportunity inside the Integration Event wsdl or if I can refer Activity and Opportunity schemas from the Integration Event wsdl then I believe I will be able to fetch and use the fields which are required for creating appointment.
I created an object to fetch the events and trying to query the event at index 0. SiebelMessage is a complex type element present in the wsdl.
If we can refer the Activity and Opportunity schemas here by placing the same inside this complex type element, then I think appointment can be created for a Forecast.
Something like below:
but I am not getting anything after ListOfEvent[0].SiebelMessage.
Please suggest.
Please revert if you have any part of the query is not clear.
-Best Regards,
Agraj Nema

Promotion Ideas
Sometimes all it takes to boost your revenue stream is a well-timed, well-targeted promotion.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Offer to-go snack mixes. Pour two scoops of Snack Mix made with HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips and REESE'S Mini PIECES Candy into a cup or a bag, and add raisins or pretzels for a sweet-and-salty mix. Consider a two-for-one deal during prime study hours with a clever name like "The Study Buddy Special."
Create an all-campus promotion in which students and teachers can reward one another by gifting HERSHEY'S treats and snacks.
Embrace social media to keep your students excited about–and buying–the latest sweets, treats and savory delights available across campus. Announce your latest treat and ask your students to share words that describe your latest HERSHEY'S branded menu offering.
Take advantage of "sweet" holidays and events. Think: chocolate treats for Valentine's Day, snack boxes for college sports tailgate parties and study sessions, and sundae toppings bars during the early-summer months.

This is the first year Major League Baseball and the Minnesota Twins teamed up to make a huge difference for one area organization. Nearly 75,000 fans voted to choose that organization and award $500,000 to its mission.
Out of seven candidates, the Channel One Food Bank ultimately won that big check Monday night.
"It feels amazing, it really does, and a little bit surreal," says Jennifer Woodford, executive director of the food bank.
A lot of the food that local pantries like Salvation Army offer comes from the Channel One Regional Food Bank. It distributes about 10 million pounds of food to nearly 100,000 people every year.
"We would be very hard-pressed to do what we do without the help from Channel 1," says Julie Nelson, a spokeswoman for La Crosse's Salvation Army.
With the extra money, Channel One plans to build a brand-new warehouse and double its cooler contents, all to help better serve local food pantries like La Crosse's.
"We distribute hundreds of thousands of lbs of food in La Crosse County every year, and in order to be able to do that, we need to have a facility that meets our needs," Woodford said.
"It shows there's a lot of compassion for hungry people in society today, and that's a very good thing," says Nelson.
The Channel One Food Bank may have won the game, but none of the other candidates really lost - all six each received $50,000. In all, the MLB and Minnesota Twins donated $800,000 to area non-profits in the 'All-Star Fans Choose' grant.
