text: Professional Resources Creative Ways to Organize Sets There is a major difference between designing a workout program that can actually produce results versus one that simply feels challenging. Just because a workout feels challenging doesn't mean that it will create the mechanical or metabolic overhead necessary to produce desired results. ACE Pro Pete McCall describes several different ways to organize the sets of a program, along with the outcomes each method can be expected to produce.

Svante Pääbo:
DNA clues to our inner neanderthal
Sharing the results of a massive, worldwide study, geneticist Svante Pääbo shows the DNA proof that early humans mated with Neanderthals after we moved out of Africa. (Yes, many of us have Neanderthal DNA.) He also shows how a tiny bone from a baby finger was enough to identify a whole new humanoid species.

Update: Retired Air Force chaplain reportedly targeted family
David Grosse, 78, faces four counts of sexual assault on children
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Arrest documents imply that the alleged sexual assault on a child charges faced by a retired Air Force chaplain occurred with family and not on the job.
David Grosse, 78, was taken into custody on Wednesday morning, police said. The investigation began in July after Colorado Springs police received a report of sexual assault.
Court documents indicate that Grosse targeted young girls that he was either related to or close family friends with while on regular visits. Four people recount multiple incidents with Grosse in which he reportedly touched them inappropriately, laid with them in bed, or visited them in the bathroom. In some of those cases, the alleged victims said Grosse was naked.
Grosse reportedly targeted young girls through adolescence. He reportedly told his victims to keep their encounters quiet to keep him out of trouble. Grosse reportedly called the activities "not a sex thing."
"This is a special time we share," the alleged victim told police. "This is something special that goes one between us and you can't tell anybody and you're not gonna tell anybody because that would hurt me."
Grosse spent 30 years in the Air Force as a chaplain. He retired in 1993 with a Legion of Merit award. One social media site in Grosse's name indicates that he spent most of that time in Colorado Springs but does not detail when he may have been out of the state, other than for education.
Grosse received secondary and seminary education at several schools including Yale University Divinity School, Eastern Nazarene College and Nazarene Theological Seminary through the 1950s and early 60s. In the 1970s, Grosse attended Boston University School of Education.
For the last two years, Grosse has owned a home on the southwest side of Colorado Springs. One neighbor called Grosse "a fine man" and found the allegations against him hard to believe.
Investigators are concerned that there may be more victims. If you or someone you know have been victimized by Grosse, please call police at 719-444-7000.
You may also call Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers, Inc. at (719) 634-STOP (7867). You do not have to give your name and could earn a cash reward.
According to jail records Grosse is out on bond which was set at $25,000.

When your 10th-wicket partnership is the highest you can put together in an innings there's a good chance you won't have made enough runs to be competitive.
That was certainly the case for New Zealand as they suffered a heavy 10-wicket defeat in the second session on day three of their first cricket test against Sri Lanka in Galle today.
New Zealand began day three on 35-1 with Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson at the crease, but Nuwan Kulasekara removed both of them early in the first session, which began a woeful collapse for the visitors.
Only Daniel Flynn lasted more than 45 minutes at the crease and his hour-long vigil to hold the innings together was undone on 20 when he was bowled by left-arm spinner Rangana Herath who bamboozled New Zealand in their second innings.
The 34-year-old Herath claimed 6-43 in New Zealand's second dig to give him the impressive analysis of 11-108 from the match after he took 5-65 on day one.
No New Zealand batsman - bar Flynn - even looked like troubling the scorers and it was awful to think that 20 was the highest score from a player in a black helmet.
No 11 Trent Boult came in when the cause was long lost and belted a couple of sixes and his stand 21-run stand with wicketkeeper Kruger van Wyk was the highest partnership of the innings.
Some of the dismissals bordered on comical as Tim Southee was stumped by Prasanna Jayawardene as he wandered down the crease, while James Franklin missed a ball that went between his legs and bounced off Jayawardene before he was also stumped.
New Zealand went to lunch at 96-8, which was effectively 70-8 after the Black Caps were behind by 26 on the first innings, and the Sri Lankans finished the job shortly after the interval as Jeetan Patel and Boult were cleaned up as the Kiwis were bowled out for 118.
That total was New Zealand's fourth lowest against Sri Lanka and coach Mike Hesson must be wondering what he can do to turn this result around ahead of the second test that starts in Colombo next Sunday.
With only 93 required for victory, Sri Lankan openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Tharanga Paranavitana, who both began the second innings on a pair, made light work of the total.
Debutant Karunaratne finished unbeaten on 60, while Paranavitana stroked 31 and they barely looked troubled, which showed there were few demons in the pitch.
New Zealand seamer Tim Southee, who took 4-46 in the first innings, didn't take the field during Sri Lanka's run chase as he was hampered by a leg injury, which was a loss to the Black Caps' remote chances of pulling off an upset victory.
Doug Bracewell, who went wicketless in the first innings, was given the new ball in Southee's absence but failed to make an impact, while Boult bowled well again without reward as Sri Lanka cantered to a commanding victory.

Bad news: on Sunday, when the Milky Way Lounge and Bella Luna Restaurant relocate from their long-standing Centre Street pad to the Brewery Complex seven blocks down, the bowling alley will be left behind.
Good news: that same day, a swarm of strident eccentrics will goose-step and boogie through the streets of JP, flanked by stilt walkers and a pair of marching bands to commemorate the transition. Ooooh, and at the Brewery digs, there will be . . . Skee-Ball!
Jamaica Plain owes a chunk of its eclectic reputation to this 15-year-old nightlife establishment. Astronomical rent hikes due to Hyde Square's swelling market value (for which the Milky Way is also owed some credit) mandated the repositioning.
Nobody likes gentrification, but everyone loves a parade.
"I read about some restaurant that was closing, and the owner did a funeral parade with a coffin," recalls co-owner Carol Downs. "When we were brainstorming about how to say good-bye to this space, I thought, 'I love that idea, but we don't want a coffin. We want it to be like Mardi Gras.' "
The procession gathers at 1 pm at the soon-to-be-former–Milky Way at 405 Centre Street, and heads toward to the new lodgings at 284 Amory Street, where cupcakes and hot cocoa will be dished up. It's open to all, and participants are encouraged to bring whatever zany noisemakers and props they wish. An umbrella might be prudent, as rain will not postpone this shindig. Also prudent: a pocket flask containing a little something-something to mix with your cocoa.
The Milky Way's slated to reopen in April. While the candlepin bowling will be missed, Bella Luna's gaining a patio and a bigger kitchen, and the Milky Way will remain a site for a plentiful variety of live music and DJs.
"There are fewer and fewer venues for live music," says co-owner Kathie Mainzer. "It's great to host these different acts and young promoters that have new ideas and want to share them."

But, I always assumed that the man who made the first movie that my father and I both enjoyed together had more left. I just always assumed there would be another Tony Scott movie coming. And now, knowing that there won't be, makes me incredibly sad.

i am joining facebook and there are all these sean foremans on there and i dont know which is the real sean. anyone know? same goes for nat...plz answer back.
What is sean's real.....
i am joining facebook and there are all these sean foremans on there and i dont know which is the real sean. anyone know? same goes for nat...plz answer back.
yeah i know sean has one..and its legit..but i agree with everyone else that i doubt they'd accept fans cause they don't wanna be stalked...
Obviously NO ONE!! haha ... and NOTICE: the recent crash on Facebook was the site being moved to the test site to check if the verification stuff work ... It FAILED :(
I am VERY skeptical about famous people's facebooks since there are so many fakes.. but if you DO find the real Sean/Nat facebook, it should be kept private. they're not going to add fans because who wants to be hassled 24/7?
Well, OVER ALL, i will say NO They / he does NOT Have a FACEBOOK ( Only a FAN PAGE ) ...
Facebook have engaged with making a STAND ALONE VERIFICATION SYSTEM which works the same way TWITTER Does. The Verification is planned to be show under the users PROFILE PICTURE and display as a Facebook Logo with the caption Official Facebook user All the ones with the Verified by Facebook are FAKE !!!
Although the AI Software that i use to detect fakes and real users is 100% Accurate, It has found only ONE User.
Link: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000456093184
Use with CAUTION: I do not know if this is REAL or FAKE --- But my Software has NEVER been wrong, it works by tracking phone numbers and Facebook usage, will also looking at there status updates and comparing them to Official Twitter Accounts ( Kidquizine ) .. After working with Facebook for the past 6 months i have seen many people get hurt by FAKE Accounts, which is why we are programming the verification software.
Best Regards
Mikey ( Facebook Administrator )
I don't think they have one to be honest, but if they did... they would have them set as private and wouldn't add fans.
You can become a fan of them on Facebook though; it's mostly run by management, but I think Sean and Nat go on there every now and again;
I'm not sure that Sean has one, but Nat has one, but he hardly ever goes on....just search his name on FB and you should a b&w pic.

Breaking: Bailout bill fails, Dow roller-coasters; Update: Pelosi speech added
posted at 2:00 pm on September 29, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
This has to be considered a shocker. The bailout bill failed in the House, and it wasn't especially close. The final tally was 207-226, with Democrats supporting it 141-94, while Republicans opposed it 66-132.
How did the markets react? Initially, with panic. Dow dropped from around a -290 to more like a -660, but then recovered within minutes to a -400. Within a few minutes after that, it rose a little further to about -360, a 300-point gain, but it continued to go up and down, and probably will all day long.
What does this mean? The Senate can always initiate their own version of the plan and re-send it to the House, but that will take some doing. Can Republicans change their votes after taking this kind of stand?
If it stands, it will be a repudiation of the leadership in both House caucuses and the Bush administration. Pelosi couldn't hold her caucus together, and Boehner, Cantor, Blunt, and Putnam will find themselves in the minority of theirs.
Update: I guess this puts lie to the notion that an agreement existed before John McCain went back to Washington. They got more Republicans today than they had last Wednesday, and it still didn't pass.
Update II: Here's the speech that probably killed the agreement. Pelosi blamed the collapse on George Bush and a lack of regulation, and called Republicans hypocrites for cheering free-market principles.

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media, 10-29-12
Ocala, FL - This week we will see the RaceCar Engineering Late Models join the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators for some major points in tight championship battles. Also, the Figure-8 Race will take place!
Mark Whitener continued his dominance of the RaceCar Engineering Late Models at the 1/3 mile with yet another win for the entire Big Frog Motorsports team. As he closes in on a championship he will still have to fend off the challenges from Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. and Bo Allen. Others like Richard Ferry, Christian Augspurger, and Jeff Mathews have visited Coors Light Winner's Circle in a division that seems more wide open than ever.
JO Nobles, who may pull double duty again, will have focus on his Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Model as he must continue to fend off "Big Chief" David Showers. As the #18's battle for a championship, the youth of Carter Stokes, Christian and Caleb McGillivray, Tyler Clem, and Billy Holmes will show what their made of against some of the best drivers in Florida and anyone could end up with the trophy.
Jonathan Appleby and Brian Mullins looked as if they would run away with the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stock championship but Shane Nichols has clawed back into contention in the race. In fact, Nichols has won 4-in-a-row which ties Mike Stalnaker for the record in the Bubba Clem Era! Of course, Mullins and Appleby will call upon drivers like Brandon Elwood, Jason Gamble, and John Thorpe to end this historic streak from driver #65.
Barfield Law Group sponsors our Mini Stocks and the field may want to call them to stop Buddy Pope's dominance. Pope has been tough all season long while Travis Staats has missed a few events and Reid Christensen has missed a few set-ups during the course of 2012. "Fluffy" Pope will try to lock this fight up but he'll have to battle with the likes of Christensen, Staats, Dean Kinsey, and Nick Kerr to do it.
The Rent-N-Roll Gladiators season took a massive turn last week but, unofficially, Tony LaPorta still leads the standings with Steve Johnson and Brandon Haseleu clawing their way up the leader boards. Jordan McMillon hasn't quite gotten win #2 in the books yet but he'll try to play spoiler in the championship race. Haseleu and Johnson must win, win, win but with Kody Fisher and Reid Christensen joining the fight it's gonna be that- a fight!
Bubba's Pit Stop opens at 1, pits at 4, stands at 5, and racing is scheduled for 7. We have racing and college football on in the Pit Stop so don't miss the dirt track action! For updates on everything, follow us on Twitter (@BubbaRacewayPrk), Facebook (Bubba Raceway Park), visit www.bubbaracewaypark.com, or call us at 352-622-9400! See ya at the track!

Attacks on the Press | Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory
Attacks on the Press 2006: Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory
Israeli troops and armor re-entered the Gaza Strip in late June to stop Palestinians from firing crudely made rockets from the north into Israeli towns along the border. Nearly 370 Palestinians, half of them civilians, were killed in the ensuing six-month Israeli offensive, which intensified after the seizure of an Israeli soldier. Palestinian journalists covering the military operations alleged that they were targeted by Israeli forces in several instances. The allegation was supported in one case by the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied that it targeted journalists but said it would investigate the complaints.


text: At Nationals, my friends and I had a running conversation about spins - and Keegan Messing in particular. Here's the gist of the points we discussed. - Keegan is a good spinner. His positions aren't always the best but he spins with power and speed. Because of his speed, there is really no excuse for him to not have level 4 spins. - Keegan had 2 level 3 spins in the short. In the free program he had one level 2 and one level 3 spin. - On "tech radio" in the arena, David Kirby made the point that there can be as much as a 7 point difference between a level 3 and a level 4 spin. We thought about this statement and determined that if a skater gets positive GOE's for a level 4 spin it could indeed be as much as 7 points. - Assuming there is as big a difference between a level 2 spin and a level 3 spin, Keegan could have scored as much as 35 points higher with all level 4 spins. - Even if Keegan got only 17 more points with better spins, he would have jumped 3 places (to 4th). 35 more points would have given him 2nd place. I'm quite sure Keegan would not have received all those possible points, however, he surely would have had a better result than 7th. - We disagreed on whose responsibility it is that Keegan (or any skater) should have level 4 spins. Some thought it was the coach who should have insisted that he practice them in every session. I think the responsibility is Keegan's. He is an experienced skater and should know the value of each element. Probably the responsibility is with both coach and skater. Note to Keegan - Learn to count! Note to all skaters - If you want to be in the top groups of skaters, do level 4 spins. Thoughts?

Self-Styled with Elliot: Festival Express
Our stylist gives you his guide to look cool, dance, and not pass out this festival season.
The time of summer music festivals is upon us good people! Last weekend, I was doing double duty as a TV host for the Pitchfork Music Festival and boy did I have an awesome time hanging out in the sun with my homebros Vampire Weekend and Sleigh Bells—and Lady Gaga. There was, however, one major catch -it was almost always sickeningly hot and humid.
Based on this sticky situation, here's my advice on how to style and profile while enjoying the unity vibes at the summer's other major outings such as Lollapalooza, Electric Zoo, and Austin City Limits among others.
Before we get into what to wear, I need to be real with you and say tank tops and sandals are not good looks…or good smells for that matter.
For tops, the secret is to get something breathable (linen, thin cotton) that won't make your sweat the star of the show. This means no white or light grey shirts, which can get spotty real quick. While researching this story I found this super ill Billy Reid popover (½ buttoned) shirt, which has the right color, fabric and sensibility to make you the coolest buck at the fest. Don't worry about it being long -sleeved, those few extra inches of fabric don't really make much difference and besides, you can always roll those up.
For bottoms, I'd suggest throwing on a pair of cheap khakis - something you won't mind getting dirty. These brown joints from H&M will totally do the trick. As for shoes, wear something crappy. If it rains, you won't be seeing them again.
To top it off, make sure to drink two bottles of water for every beer, stay away from the brown acid, and have a good time!

Summer is on its way, and with it you can expect the occasional bicycle accident, skinned knee, or sunburn. We're usually so focused on the dangers in the "outside world," it's easy to forget that injuries can occur in our own back yards. Read on to learn how to recognize and remove these common backyard safety hazards.
Careless contractors, dying tree roots, or perhaps critters making themselves at home can all be culprits in making your yard a minefield for potential injuries. So explore your yard, conduct a thorough walk-around and carefully examine the ground and grass for loose soil and holes that could cause a twisted ankle or broken bone. If you see loose soil piled around the hole, chances are it's due to some kind of animal or insect. To keep those holes from coming back, you may want to call an exterminator.
You've probably been dreaming of throwing that backyard barbecue bash since winter. But careless grilling can cause injuries, house fires, and even explosions. Remember these safety tips before firing up for that first steak of the summer:
Improperly constructed or neglected play structures can cause serious injuries to children.
For more information on tree house safety, check out our article on How to Build a Safe Tree House.
According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC), thousands of swimming pool injuries and drowning incidents occur every year, and a great many of these involve young children. Avoid this by following these pool safety tips:
The bacteria on dirty yard work tools can cause tetanus, so when you're finished with your tools, store them in a safe place so no one accidentally steps on them. Make sure sharp implements are safely locked away or out of reach where curious children can't play with them.
The only way to completely eliminate the risk of pesticide poisoning is using non-chemical methods to control your pest problems. That means making sure you don't have any standing water or leaky pipes in your yard and getting rid of pest habitats, like leaf debris or neglected woodpiles. If you must use pesticides, keep these safety tips in mind:

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 motherboard with onboard ALC887 sound. When I select the analog ALC887 as jack's interface, the sound stutters every couple of seconds and there are plenty of xruns, no matter how large I set the frames/period or periods/buffer. When I set jack to use my external USB Yamaha Audiogram6, it works fine. If I set the system up to use Pulseaudio instead of jack, then sound works fine with the ALC887.
My processor is an AMD phenom x4 945, and I have 8GB ram. Video card is Geforce GTX550 Ti. I am wondering how to make the onboard sound work properly (for when I don't have the Yamaha plugged in).
Any suggestions? Could this be a hardware conflict or something? I really need to use jack as I need some of the filters etc that I can run in jackrack.

The location is perfect: Bairro Alto is located on the opposite hill from the Alfama and is linked to the Baixa via a fashionable shopping street named Garret, where you will find some of Lisbon's select society shops selling internationally famous brand names alongside with national products. Chiado has its own special local cafes,a popular meeting place for its writers and artists.
Apart from walking, there are two other ways to go up Bairro alto from Baixa: the "Elevador de Santa Justa" designed and built by the French architect "Eiffel" or else you can use one of the two "funicular-like" trams.
Bairro Alto was originally developed in the 16th Century as a residential quarter for traders. Now it has become a center for nightlife with its many fashionable restaurants, bars and clubs. This is the best place to live in Lisbon!

Reviews for this host's other properties
Perfect place for partying! It's in the middle of Bairro Alto, right above my favourite cocktail place. Good for a group of people!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is located in a very central area, we liked the site and the apartment has what you need for your stay, very nice hosts, where we were informed there was an economy car park and shops recommend
El apartamento esta situado en una zona muy céntrica, nos gusto el sitio y el apartamento tiene lo necesario para su estancia, los anfitriones muy agradables, nos informaron de donde había un aparcamiento económico y tiendas, lo recomiendo
The apartment was very clean and tidy. It is a bit noisy (because it is old) but the parents of Paulo are very keen of having customers who don't make lots of noise (one couple above us, who made of lot of noise was kicked out).
It is in the middle of outgoing drinking center of Lisbon, so very cosy and also lots of noise, we were fan but you have to be fan too.
All in all we had a fabolous holiday and I would recommend the apartment.
Also note that if you have dinner around rossio place, look out for restaurants who will serve you food, you didn't ask for (like very simple salads for 9 euro) and charge you this food. We thought it was part of our menu we ordered.
Nice appartement, well assorted kitchen.
The area is good for dining and party; a very social area.
At the same time It is also a fine area for travellers with kids.
A Nice park with a good playground nearby - good coffee, pizza, icecreams.
The host is very kind and helpfull - and the comunication before the visit was very fast and effcient.
Both apartments have been very nice and clean. Everything was in a good condition. Paulo is a very nice guy and his parents helped us to get the correct taxi as the the taxi central didnt get our request for large (4 persons with big suitcases) correctly. We enjoyed too his little bar a few meters up the road. The barkeeper Julio was very nice and friendly. We had a good time at his apartments. If I ever get to Lisbon again, I would like to book the apartment again.
Perfect location if you like being in the area of nightlife. This right on one of the main streets of the neighborhood where there are many bars high for both dinner and to party. It's loud but if you go out is not sleep well because in that area the bars close at 4 or earlier. Although the apartment is a bit older is clean with fresh towels in it. If you will not spend much time on it this very well. The only problem we've had is that, despite having two bathrooms, when you turn the shower in a bathroom there was no water in the other and the water was cold to shower all, only the first had. Perfect for groups of friends looking for a weekend getaway to Lisbon.
Localización perfecta si os gusta estar en la zona de la fiesta nocturna. Esta justo en una de las calles principales del barrio alto donde hay muchísimos bares tanto para cenar como para salir de fiesta. Es ruidoso pero si vais a salir se pude dormir bien pues en esa zona los bares cierran a las 4 o antes.
Aunque el apartamento es un poco viejo esta limpio con toallas limpias en él. Si no vas a pasar mucho tiempo en él esta muy bien. El único problema que hemos tenido es que, a pesar de tener dos baños, cuando abrías la ducha en un baño no había agua en el otro y el agua estaba fría para ducharnos todos, sólo las primeras tenían.
Perfecto para grupos de amigos que buscan una escapada de fin de semana a Lisboa.
A great stay, a city welcoming and festive. Great for holidays at lower cost in an atmosphere of madness I strongly advise
Un super séjour, une ville accueillante et festive. Super pour des vacances à moindre cout dans une ambiance de folie!Je conseille fortement
- Quality assured accommodation

So I was out working the bees today and I was removing some deep frames from a medium hive. The bees had built comb hanging from the bottom of the frames. It was the only way I had to get a deep nuc into a medium hive last year.
I took the best of the brood comb and tied it into a foundationless frame:
However, a lot of the comb was drone and so out of curiousity I started pulling out the drone brood and counting and separating them by which ones had mites and which didn't. Then out of more curiosity, I did the same with the last little bit of worker brood there was on a similar piece of comb.
Here are the results: Of the drone brood, I uncapped 56 drones, finding 15/56 (27%) infested with at least one varroa, and two with two mites for a total of 17 mites. Of the worker brood, I uncapped 73 and found 5 infested with a mite (7%) only one having successfully reproduced, showing multiple mites in the cell, in the typical ages of a mite lifecycle in a honeybee cell (1.4%). I did not find any reproducing mites in the drone cells, but as you can see in the picture above, the drones were all recently capped whereas many of the workers were near emergence.
What does this demonstrate?
First, I have mites. No surprise there, I have been saying that for years.
Second, I have plenty of mites. No tiny insignificant population here. This is not a hive that has demonstrated hygienic traits, yet survives nonetheless.
Third, the mites obviously prefer the drone brood, infesting at a rate of one in four while worker brood was only infested at a rate of one in fourteen.
Fourth, some hives are capable of handling a substantial mite load without crashing or even showing detrimental effects. This hive is about the fourth strongest in this yard of nine. I used it as my cell builder this year.
Five, if these numbers hold out, mites are not terribly successful at reproducing in worker brood in this hive, only about 1 in 71 worker cells result in mite reproduction.
And for some background data, I measured the cell size of this piece of nearly perfect free form comb and found the cell size to be a consistent 5.2mm. The rest of the comb in the hive is 4.9mm wax or 4.95mm plastic.

JetBlue has announced a one-day sale, today Feb. 22, for hops from the Big Apple (JFK) to Portland (PWM). The $49 fare can be booked today only for flights March 1 through May 25. Think of the possibilities! Plan a visit for Maine Restaurant Week, and nibble your way through Portland, America's foodiest small town. And one to take advantage of spring skiing at Sunday River, Saddleback, and Sugarloaf, the king of spring. And another to score early beach time on Kennebunk or Ogunquit Beach. Or why not plan an early-season visit to take advantage of the great birding at Acadia and in Downeast Maine? And, well, you get the idea.
Here's the best part, can you say Deal: With the exception of those ski vacations, this period is off season in most of Maine, with some of the lowest rates of the year for lodging. Check around, you'll find quite a few especially enticing packages at inns and bed-and-breakfasts.

In February, Jeff Johnson talked about Black History Month coming to a close. He said it shouldn't be celebrated just once a year but everyday or every week. He asked that we set aside at least one evening or one day a week to talk about black history and to keep it alive. We plan to honor his request with a gallery every week this month to celebrate significant events, timelines, births and to remember those who have passed away.

Citizen-run crime prevention programs in Columbia lack participation
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Recent numbers show crime in Columbia is a concern. In 2013, homicides were as high as they have been in the last five years. Rapes rose 57 percent from the year before and total crime overall went up.
Shootings, robberies and assaults are happening in public areas, like downtown. Many are pointing at police, saying they need to take back the streets and get the crime problem in Columbia under control.
But some involved in the fight on crime say it's also time for the community to step up.
Greg Reed is the president of Columbia's Neighborhood Watch Board. The program began in 1970, but five years ago it was turned over from police to a private board because of budget cuts. Since that time, the program has had some challenges.
"Ever since the police department cut us off, basically, we've really struggled in terms of just having enough money to do what we need to do," Reed said.
And he said those things they need to do are increase training sessions and pay for advertising to reach more areas. His hope is that advertising would boost participation, which has dwindled.
There are currently five vacancies on the nine-person board and Reed said it has been that way since he joined in 2009.
He said the commitment would be small if more people got involved and it could make a huge different in cutting crime.
"The main goal is preaching that involved citizenry can make a difference in crime rates and in the community, especially when you're dealing with the manpower issues we have here for CPD," Reed said.
Melvin Buckner, the Columbia police officer assigned to advise the city's Neighborhood Watch, agrees.
"The community has to embrace the concept of being a community again," Buckner said. "We have to start taking care of the area where we live and care about the area where we live."
Buckner said the neighborhoods with college kids could be helped almost right away.
"We all know most of our burglaries are occurring in college housing areas and that's an area we haven't really explored that far in," he said. "I think with additional funds, with some advertising funds, we could get out to the college area and maybe make an impact there."
Neighborhood Watch meets the second Monday of every month for one hour. Reed said because the board is lacking people, he and the other three board members are having to pull double duty just to keep the program afloat.
"You can only do that for so long, you know?" Reed said. "We all have work, we all have jobs, we all have careers that take precedent over your role on a board like this. It's so important for the community, it is sometimes disappointing we don't have more engagement there."
Neighborhood Watch is not the only citizen-run program in Columbia designed to curb crime.
The mayor appointed a task force on community violence in the summer to respond to recent crime. So far, only one of the 10 meetings has had perfect attendance.
Numbers obtained by ABC 17 News show since late October, only about 80 percent of the board members made the meetings. At the most recently scheduled meeting, not even half showed up, and without a quorum, there was no meeting.
"I think on an administrative level, we could be doing a better job as far as reminding people in a timely fashion, making sure it's on the radar," said Ward 2 councilman and co-chair of the Mayor's Task Force on Community Violence Michael Trapp.
Trapp said the recent lull in attendance has had a lot to do with the winter season.
"I think the task force-- that was just kind of a blip, as far as winter, lack of routine and competing demands, and I think that's going to resolve itself," he said.
The task force is a group of 15 citizens that meets twice a month. By August, it's supposed to have some solutions for violent crime in the city.
Trapp said at the next meeting, he plans to remind the members of the commitment they made.
He also said he wants to remind the rest of the community that there are things they could be doing to help.
"Crime is not going to be solved by the government," Trapp said. "It's going to be solved by all of us in our community. We're going to make our community safer, or we're not."
Whether community members officially join Neighborhood Watch or just become more aware, Reed says that is enough to make a difference in crime.
"Know what's normal for your neighborhood, because if you saw a police officer drive by right now, he wouldn't know what's normal for this neighborhood, but you do," he said. "You, on that local level can tell what sticks out and what's right."
To become a member of Neighborhood Watch, citizens can register for a training session on their website.

Natural luxury may seem like an oxymoron, but this week's Escape is ready to challenge any thoughts that once separated simple beauty from elegant comfort. Get away to the spectacular Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe, and get ready to bask in supposed opposites at the Inn and Spa at Loretto.
Let the sun lead the way to this recently renovated hotel that mirrors the layered architecture of the Taos Pueblo, a national landmark. Once your car is shaded with included valet parking, open the door to your Traditional Room—with a complimentary upgrade to a Superior Room based on availability—for a one-night stay for two with resort fees waived ($109) and get to know the rugged desert's opulent side.
Your room glows in warm campfire hues that complement the area's appreciation for Native American folklore, but you will be far from roughing it. Wrap yourself in a patterned blanket atop your soft bed to watch a movie on your 42-inch flat screen. But be sure to take in the sights of the surrounding mountains, garden, or nearby historic district outside (Superior Rooms have private or shared balconies).
Order a happy hour drink at the Living Room Lounge, and greet fellow Escapees on a shared leather couch. Then, enjoy dinner at Luminaria—like the grilled sterling beef tenderloin—while sitting on a lantern-lit patio that's across from The Loretto Chapel.
Go for a morning swim in the heated outdoor pool, and then drink in-room tea while using the free Wi-Fi and iPod dock. After, pick up dust while exploring the nation's oldest capital city on two wheels, courtesy of Mellow Velo. Wander the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum or the Manitou Galleries before riding the tame trails outside the historic district. When your joints get sore, schedule a pampering treatment at the top-rated The Spa at Loretto, a favorite of Condé Nast Traveler.
Escape here, and you'll learn that an oxymoron has it all.

Dial Global has released its third quarter fiscal results, while also announcing the company will voluntarily de-list itself from the NASDAQ stock exchange. Following its acquisition of Westwood One, revenue grew from over $25 million in Q3 2011 to $58.2 million in this year's third quarter. However, the company reported in its 10-Q filing that it took a $69.4 million operating loss, as operating costs soared to $88 million from just $12.75 million a year earlier. Total net loss expanded from $5.2 million in Q3 of last year to $71.1 million.
In the 10-Q filing, Dial Global notes, "We believe our 2012 results were adversely impacted by, among other things, late cancelations in ad buys (which we believe was a by-product of the election and renewed economic uncertainty), competitive factors, such as a greater diversity of digital ad platforms (into which ad budgets have flowed) and increased competition from our major competitors, and advertisers' response to controversial statements by a certain nationally syndicated talk radio personality in March 2012." That would most likely be a reference to Rush Limbaugh, who faced boycotts and backlash earlier this year.
Additionally, Dial Global released a statement announcing that it had notified NASDAQ that it will voluntarily de-list itself from the global market. In its statement, the company says, "The decision to voluntarily delist from NASDAQ was taken following a review by the Company's Board of Directors, which determined that a delisting would be in the best interests of the Company. In reaching this conclusion, the Company's Board of Directors considered numerous factors, including, among other things, the compliance costs and obligations that result from the maintenance of the Company's listing on NASDAQ, the relatively limited historical volume of trading in the Company's common stock, the applicable federal securities laws and the applicable NASDAQ rules."
Dial Global will file a form with the SEC later this month to commence the delisting process. It is expected that the delisting will take effect on or about December 6. Following delisting, the Company's common stock will no longer trade on NASDAQ under the symbol "DIAL."

I found an easter egg?
I think?
I found an easter egg?
I think?
What am I looking at here?
My college blocks battlelog, how do I play online?
Gotta' love auto kicks for language.
I was on Kharg Island in the main warehouse trying to push forwards to activate the C4 charge, and I ended up racking up a lot of kills. After around 8 minutes of fighting in the warehouse (along with the voice acting swearing like a sailor), I go through the side garage doors and toss a grenade in the take out the remaining, then after I successfully blew up the object I said "Fuck yeah we did good" in squad chat, then I get auto kicked and don't get any of my points.
I'm only a level 29 because I don't play much but when I don't get my points I get pissed.
The stupidity of that server rule...ugh.
M26 DART users exist to spite me.
Gotta love it when you're in a super close match that's like 8-8 and tons of your retarded teammates spawn and you lose.
Okaaaaaaaaay. Is this a common bug in battlelog?
Does accuracy in vehicles count towards your overall accuracy? After playing a few rounds of Caspian in an AA truck, mine's dropped from 14.3 to 9.9 vv
Aks-74u w/ IRNV. Thread over.
Anyone further than 10m away won't show up white-hot.
I bought a 360 for cheap off a relative the other day and I'm looking for a fun multiplayer shooter. Battlefield has peaked my interests, would you guys recommend the console version of the game? Is the multiplayer population large?
It's very busy - lots of servers - enough that unless you frequent the same ones, you won't bump into the same people regularly. At the moment there si an issue with finding servers which are not high tickets, but they're hopefully fixing this (at some undefined point in the possible future)
Large maps can feel pretty empty at times, but smaller ones are good fun. You'll have to accept it's not the same type of gameplay as on PC with 64 players and it's the kind of game which can be completely won or lost by 1 or 2 people on a team.
As far as multiplayer shooters on the xbox go, you won't do any better. So in answer to your question, any comparisons to the PC version are moot as compared to other xbox shooters, this is the best.
It's also down to luck whether you join a server full of high-ranks or whatever (If you're not a colonel yet)
Haven't been playing for ages and now every server is full of high rank pros. Damn. I'm like lvl 20 or something.
Also I need people to play squad things with, microphone would be nice.
I had a problem where my college's internet was somehow blocking the plugin from working but I deleted the cookies and it worked fine for a while until I had to do it again.
Are there any European FP servers for BF3?
I'm having a terrible time finding a server that I don't leave after two rounds.
According to Tomas Danko, the guy who does the voices for BF3, there's an easter egg VO.
It will only happen if you are >110m and <350m from a teammate spotting AA and you have to be <350m away from the AA being spotted. It has a 5% chance of happening and it only works for US team.
Flying a stolen enemy jet, when Avast pops up informing that I'm using a stolen version, making me crash the jet.
Hm, just noticed that banners work.
I think the AN-94 is my new best friend.
The weapon is a holy relic sent down by the gods of war.
They could probably help you out

Thank goodness our ticket to Milan (or Milano as the Italians speaka da) was for the correct day and the trip was uneventful, that is as uneventful as any Groat passage could be. We left the train at Milan and sat for a while to get our bearings. I went to to a ticket machine and tried to find tickets. A tout came up and helped me navigate through the screens directing me to Torino, which luckily i rejected
Downstairs, using the lift, we found the ticket office had then usual long queue, but I was patient, after all we had 2 hours to kill. Finally I reached a very helpful official, who provided 2 single tickets to Tirano, which unlike the electronic tickets, were open bookings for any time.
We went up to the main station again to a pizzeria, where we ordered cups of tea and sneaked our home-made sandwiches out of the brown paper bag. Melien asked the time and I noticed that it was 1:54 pm. What a dill! We'd arrived at 11:30 not 1:30 as in my panic I had thought. We had time to catch the very train we thought we had missed! We moved quickly to the correct platform, loaded the baggage and settled back for a local train ride.
Tirano is a lovely little village in the foothills of the Alps and the journey to Tirano passes through some very pretty countryside
Not only was the village a picturesque spot, but also the hotel, in our opinion was one of the best we had stayed in. The room was spacious and modern, as was the bathroom. The people at the front desk extremely polite and helpful allowing us to store our luggage for the two hours until the train left the next day.
A lovely meal in the restaurant was only spoiled by the duck and the beef both being too rare to eat. We sent them back, but a little of the magic was lost at that point. Our train the next day left at 2:10 in the afternoon and that allowed a nice sleep-in, which we both appreciated after the hectic 5 hour previous day's exercise. A quick miniature train ride around Tarino convicted us that nothing prior to 1700 existed here (a bit like Zurich turned out to be).
On the Bernina Express, panoramic windows and reasonable company plus the beautiful scenery kept us entertained all the way to Chur, our last stop on that line
Tired, but hungry, we dropped our luggage in the room and bought food at the hotel restaurant. Big mistake! 118 Swiss Francs for a burger and a sandwich (plus beer and wine) seemed a bit of a bad cop. Never mind, a good sleep would clear away the pain.
The next day we rehearsed our walk for the next train journey, bought some lunch and took a tour of Zurich, the lake and the cable car ride. Show the pictures, Mr Magic Man!
The next few days we stay with our friends. More about that later. In the meantime, I'll say goodnight to those in Australia and good afternoon to our UK and German friends.

The Glock price is pretty average, but you might be able to find it for right at $500 if you look around.
The price on the Smith seems too high. I can order one for $513 out the door, so I think you could do better.
Of course, ordering one will delay your getting a pistol by about a week.
The Glock 26 is one of the best all-round CCW's out there. Does everything well. I have a feeling the S&W will be just as good, but I've not used one. The Smith does have the advantage of having interchangeable backstraps, which might make it fit your hand better than the G.

What's The Difference in Residential and Commercial Property investment?
The Difference! It probably does not exist….
Managing a property portfolio is an art as well as a science. Connecting with current data is the scientific side of the story and building a perfect property portfolio is an artistic outcome.
Don't worry I am not going to touch any of those ancient conversations regarding residential v/s commercial debate.
The gap that I am talking about is regarding the attitude.
It exists there as the real estate client is still i

that sounds like a good price, about half what i paid for mine new, and 2/3 of the best price on Gun Broker.
i love my little mosquito, it is fun to shoot! it is not a target pistol as the Mark III.
i used minimags, until i started getting reasonable feed with the bulk ammo. i still have a few FTF or FTE even a few no fires, with the bulk ammo. but hey, the target is not shooting back! So as i justify this, i get practice clearing the gun, rack another round and fire again!

"A Toronto architectural firm's unique design approach helped a Winnipeg skyscraper win the title of the year's best tall building in the Americas.
Manitoba Hydro Place is a 23-storey, energy-efficient building on Winnipeg's Portage Avenue and it earned the award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
The $300 million is aiming for at least LEED Gold certification and was designed through a joint venture between Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB) Architects Ltd. and Atlanta-based Smith Carter Architects and Engineers. The building was completed in December 2008.
"What really differentiated this project from other buildings was from the beginning it was organized and designed through an Integrated Design Process (IDP)," said Kael Opie, KPMB project architect.
"The IDP process is an organization by which the primary consultants, along with the architect and the client, all come to the table at the beginning of the project. This allows the primary players to make fundamental decisions about the shape and form of the building as a group."
Opie said that under the classical model of building, the architect comes up with the concept, sells it to the client and then calls in the engineers.
"The IDP turns the classic approach on its head," he said.
"This was critical for Manitoba Hydro because we were trying to achieve a high level of energy reductions."
The goal was to achieve a 60 per cent energy savings.
"A lot of things went into achieving this energy efficiency saving," he explained.
"The main difference between Hydro Place and a typical building is the heating and cooling of the building is achieved using a passive system, when possible. The shape of the building, orientation and atriums were all arranged to meet the energy requirements of the client."
The IDP process was enhanced by extensive computer modeling using local wind, sun and temperature data to evaluate design options.
The building also has the largest closed loop geothermal system in the province. There are 280 boreholes, each 150 mm (6") in diameter, that penetrate the site 125 metres (400 ft.) underground.
A key element in the passive ventilation system is a solar chimney that draws used air out of the building and preheats the incoming cold air in the south atria, during the winter.
Depending on the season, a 24 metre tall waterfall feature in each of the atria humidifies or dehumidifies the incoming air.
During colder times, recovered heat from exhaust air and passive solar radiant energy are used to warm the fresh air.
Manually operated windows on the interior curtain wall, combined with the automated exterior wall vents controlled by the Building Management System, allow employees to control their individual environment.
The site was strategically selected because more than 95 per cent of the bus routes pass by, including routes to suburban Winnipeg, where 80 per cent of Manitoba Hydro employees live.
Every feature of Manitoba Hydro Place was integrated to make this building one of the most energy-efficient office towers in the world.
The CTBUH, which is based at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, is the world's leading organization on tall buildings.
Buildings throughout the world are recognized by region at its annual awards ceremony.
The 2009 tall building winners are:
• Manitoba Hydro Place, Winnipeg
• Linked Hybrid, Beijing, China
• The Broadgate Tower, London, UK
• Tornado Tower, Doha, Qatar
One of these four will be named Best Tall Building Overall at the council's awards dinner in Chicago on October 22-23."

I've noticed the Scandanavian BeeMax top feeder in catalogs. Has anyone had any experience with them?
I've noticed the Scandanavian BeeMax top feeder in catalogs. Has anyone had any experience with them?
The only Beemax that I'm aware of is the polystyrene one that feeds form the one end with a clear plastic seperator to keep the bees in the feeding area. Is that the one? If so I like it as it doesn't leak and it has lasted me a few years already (July) as long as I don't throw it around carelessly.
does your beemax form nasty green stuff in it? Also, how do you keep bees from falling in the syrup? MIne has a 1 bee thick layer of dead bees that the other bees need to feed thru - pretty gross if you ask me.
I have one and plan on at least three more. I found that there was a drowning problem from the clear barrier being to smooth. I am going to take some fine sand paper and and scuff the inside this should fix that. I definitly like the capacity. I was told to paint the sides and any suface that would be exposed to weather so to extend the life of the feeder. Make sure you put adequate weight on the top or when it is empty it could blow away the bees seem not to propolise the feeder to the hive very much. All in all it appears to be a good feeder just scuff the insert and everything should be fine.
I plan to replace the clear plastic divider with some #7 hardware cloth. I think it will give them better grip and allow for air to vent as it can't now.
Over all I give it a so so rating. I don't think the bees can get to syrup as well in cold weather as the entrance is at one end and the tend to cluster in the center. I prefer to pail feed in winter as I can place it just above the cluster.
