Supporters of George Zimmerman Afraid of Speaking Out
Friends and family of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin to death, are remaining largely out of sight. The few who have defended Zimmerman did so reluctantly, most fearing public backlash.
The 28-year-old Zimmerman has gone into hiding. His version of what happened on the rainy night of Feb. 26 has only trickled out from police and his attorney. Zimmerman told police he was attacked by Martin.
He said he fired in self-defense and he was not charged, touching off widespread public outrage and protests across the country.
Martin's supporters believe race played a role in the shooting. Unlike Zimmerman's supporters, they have packed churches, swarmed rallies and worn hooded sweat shirts in solidarity.

Biggest Mover- Rahal Letterman Racing (6)
Biggest Loser- Dreyer and Reinbold Racing (5)
1. Penske Racing 0
Dominating weekend by Penske, setting the bar and making them the team to beat in 2012. Power, Briscoe, and Helio right up there in the thick of things. They need to be more modest with Will Power though, more downforce and less trim. He won't be able to run away with it like in the past.
2. Andretti Autosport 0
The team that can beat Penske. I'm not going to say they will beat Penske, but they look damn impressive, and Hinchcliffe fits in with that team, like a glove.
3. Schmidt Hamilton Motorsports +3
Great weekend for this team. They hired the right guy in Simon Pagenaud. He has the ability to win next week at Barber.
4. Chip Ganassi Racing -1
Ouchtown, population, you bro. Scott Dixon and Charlie Kimball did a great job of carrying the team, whilst Graham Rahal and Dario Franchitti fell way short of expectations.
5. KV Racing -1
EJ Viso led this team this weekend. Will EJ get #1 driver status if he keeps it up? Unimpressive weekend by Barrichello and Kanaan had the failure with the battery.
6. Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing 0
Josef Newgarden ran one of hell of a race. If they back up these results consistently, then they will start to become a premiere team in Indycar.
7. Panther Racing -2
Bugger. Someone on Panther needs to learn how to do math because JR Hildebrand had a "statement race" going for him.
8. Rahal Letterman Racing +6
Great race by Sato in front of his bosses Bobby Rahal and David Letterman. This team is back full time, and they look to be in the same form that they were in before they ended their full time operation. Got shafted by a mechanical failure, but they could have won.
9. Dale Coyne Racing 0
Slightly disappointing weekend. Wilson scored a top ten but had a brutal qualifying session, and Jakes buried himself in the tires.
10. AJ Foyt Enterprises +3
They proved they have speed. Super Tex has to be impressed with Conweezy.
11. Bryan Herta Autosport -4
They had the highest finishing place by a team using Lotus. They have their ducks in a row, the engine just needs to come around for them.
12. Dragon Racing +3
Bourdais did great, Legge did...... Well, not so great. But they fielded both cars and did a great job all weekend testing and developing the cars.
13. Dreyer and Reinbold -5
Brutal weekend. Give O the equipment and setups, and he will get you the results.
14. HVM Racing -4
Thought they would be quicker. Time to bounce back at Barber.
15. Ed Carpenter Racing -3
Awful job by this team. Great staff, great equipment, great boss, best engine, but the worst road course driver in the field. May can't come sooner for this team.
Tell me what you think.

We were probably going to keep it for a special occasion but came Friday night when both of us were uninspired to dig into the fridge and Sapore being that 5-10 minute drive away, we braved the cold winds of St Kilda beach.
Parking is quite a nightmare in this area, with most places requiring to pay for parking to the early hours of morning. We found free parking with a 1 hour limit and decided to risk it.
Armed without a reservation, we were surprised that the restaurant wasn't as busy as some have experienced. We sat at the bar for 5 minutes where they got us to obviously order drinks before we sat down to some bread and olives.
With that 1 hour limit and a conscious budget, we jumped straight to the mains.
The pork belly came with a rather suss looking crackling but despite the looks, it was fabulous. The apple puree, fennel salad and that fried crochette completes the meal but deep down I really wanted some more pork belly but I guess $37 only buys you this much (its a rare breed according to the menu).
Verdict: 4 stars out of 5 stars (just based on our mains). Good Italian food but coming to this part of town at night (hard to find parking) during winter (so freaking cold and strong winds) will be tall ask for me.

Eight students from Iowa Lakes Community College have returned from the National SkillsUSA competition held in Kansas City where nearly 6,000 students from across the nation tested their skills in 94 areas of competition.
All participating students from Iowa Lakes made it in the top 10 – including one who advanced to the winners' podium.
Jaren Nunnikhoven, Pella, received a second place medal in the Power Equipment Technology contest. He is a student in the Motorcycle and Small Engine Technology program at Iowa Lakes and was the highest ranking Iowa Lakes student.
Other students ranking in the top 10 included four students on the Carpentry team. That team consisted of Alex Kenne, Algona; Michael Ohmart, Rolfe; Nate Samp, Algona; and Luke Sundblad, Albert City. They placed fourth in the team competition. They are all students in the Construction Technology program at Iowa Lakes.
In Marine Service Technology, Bradley Bond, Marcus, took 10th place.
All six students competed in the college division.
Their college advisors include Rick Brichta, Corey Menning and Dustin Ross.
Scott Haas and Dan Haack placed 9th out of 40 competitors in Television (Video) Production. This is the third 'Top 10' finish in the past five years. The Algona High team won the national championship in 2005.
They competed at the secondary level. Both are students at Algona High School and are advised by Bryan Nelson. Nelson pointed out that the students compete against some very large schools since class size is not a consideration in determining ranking.
More than 15,000 people – including students, teachers and business partners – participated in the week-long event.
"We are very proud of the students and their instructors who represented Iowa Lakes at state and national competitions this past year. These results reflect the high level of the respective competitions, hard work and application of knowledge and skills" said Tom Brotherton, Executive Dean of the Emmetsburg campus.
Students work against the clock and each other, proving their expertise in occupations like electronics, computer-aided drafting, precision machining, medical assisting and culinary arts.
Contests are run with the help of industry, trade associations, and labor organizations, and test competencies are set by industry. The hands-on performance-based contests are demonstrations of student knowledge and practice gained from their programs.
SkillsUSA serves more than 300,000 high school and college students and their instructors in training programs in technical, skilled and service occupations, including health occupations. The association emphasizes respect for the dignity of work, ethics, workmanship, scholarship and safety.

Take Aim: Amy Sciarretto vs. Standing Hawthorn's Paul Schulte
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:05:24
Joy Division Photos
Joy Division Videos
Amy Sciarretto invited Standing Hawthorn rocker Paul Schulte into the ring for a Take Aim chat. It's the holiday season so we were happy to host him. We didn't make any gingerbread cookies, though.
If you were not doing music, you would be...
A counselor to the entitlement generation. A motivational speaker if you will. A fill in for people that don't have proper parenting. There's too many young people out there that don't understand what hard work is. Or what it takes to be successful. Or what it means to stand by your word. I would use mental and physical discipline to "knock some sense" in to them.
Any non-musical skills or hobbies or talents?
Juggling, pole vaulting, roller-skating, bird watching… the basics.
Can you share a writing or recording story behind "Roaming Lions?" Something that we'd only know because you told us? Put us there, in the moment!
I wrote that song on a plane going to Spain with a photographer friend of mine. I watched the movie Control on my laptop. I never really knew the story of Ian Curtis and Joy Division and it kind of hit me. Roaming Lions represents the band as a pride of lions moving through Cheshire in their dark long coats. The lyric "fits on pavement, medicated" was a last minute add from Chris and seemed to sum up the whole thing. That plane ride was the scariest I've ever been on. My friend actually turned to me and said, "Paul, I just want to let you know its been a pleasure working with you" - he was serious.
Do the same with another song on Living Without Lies?
We lost all of the original tracks to Scarecrow and just had a reference mix that Chris had done. We listened to it and realized that there wasn't really anything we could do to maker it better. It sounded perfect as is.
Twitter-size your bio: 140 words or characters (your choice) of EVERYTHING we need to know.
Standing Hawthorn has always been a traditional four-piece rock and roll band influenced by the great traditional rock acts that have come before them. They are inspired and influenced by music new and old and that is reflected in their records and how diverse their sound is.
—Amy Sciarretto
Are you digging Standing Hawthorn just from Paul's answers? We are! But then again, we liked the tunes already.

Recent Insider Moves in the Coal Sector
With the rally in coal stocks today, we took a quick look at insider sentiment in the sector.
Broad sentiment among energy sector insiders has begun to turn more positive, according to InsiderScore. In the coal sector, here are four coal company transactions of note from recent months.
One place where insiders dug deep during the month of May was Walter Energy (WLT) where 11 insiders bought over $2 million in shares from May 6-13. Participants included CEO Walter Scheller, who bought 8,585 shares for $150,838 and CFO William Harvey, who bought 5,000 shares for $87,800 among others. We recapped this cluster in an Inside Scoop on May 17, which can be read here. (Subscription required.)
Natural Resources Partner (NRP) saw two insider buys in March. Kenneth Hudson, the controller, bought 4,000 shares for $88,400 on March 1, while Robert Blakely, a director, bought 22,500 shares for $490,500 on March 7.
We also took a look at James River Coal (JRCC) after Coy Lane, Jr., a senior vice president and chief operating officer, sold 12,900 shares for $42,500 during the month of May in two separate transactions.
And at Consol Energy (CNX), director Patricia Hammick exercised options and sold 10,000 shares for $340,000 in mid-February.
We'll keep watching over these transactions for you and we'll see you over at Inside Scoop.

Despite taking the business end of a handgun round to the brain-pan at the end of Season 2, it would appear Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss are resurrecting Jim Moriarty. Alan Scott's rather divisive portrayal of the world's only consulting criminal enjoyed a few quick teases this season but a last minute multimedia viral would suggest he's indeed back from the grave.
Of course, there's no direct evidence that Moriarty indeed lives.
Perhaps the final sting was some instance of elaborate digital wizardry.
Or a twin.
Or a clone.
Or a time traveller.
Though we somewhat doubt those last few, only another TWO YEARS (or so) to wait to find out what Gatiss and Moffat have in store!

|4 nights
Beautiful two level villa with swimming pool, a great view of the gulf of Peloponnesus and the famous mount of Parnasus. Only 7 minutes away from the traditional town of Galaxidi our villa offers you the luxury of a spacious villa with pool but with the ability of discovering in a few minutes the beautiful beaches along the coast. With one master bedroom and two extra rooms on the top floor our guests can enjoy the view of the sea, heading down to the big kitchen and the comfortable living area our villa can welcome you any time of the year either you want to enjoy your summer vacation or spend your winter holiday only 45 minutes away from the famous ski center at the mount Parnasus.
A beautifully presented villa. Wonderful location, well appointed with fantastic views across the Bay of Corinth. Extremely comfortable, modern interior and comfortable furnishings, huge sofas, good quality cooker and fridge/freezer, excellent lighting. Highly efficient air-conditioning. Impressive master bedroom, with walk-in dressing room and lovely balcony. Other rooms very comfortable. Large terraced areas. All in all, very spacious and plenty of room for 6 adults. Attractive pool, well maintained (checked every 2nd or 3rd day), although it was slightly on the small side (a very small negative).
The owners were very welcoming and kind. We really enjoyed our stay.
Galaxedi is a delightful place to visit (lots of good restaurants and tavernas) and the villa was a great base to visit Delphi and other local sites. The drive from the villa to Galaxedi is about 1 mile and steep in places, but is tarmac the whole way and not too challenging.
Everything about Villa Belvedere was perfect. From the moment we received the keys to the time we left. The villa itself is stunning! Spacious, (enormous), clean, homely, private, safe, and has everything one needs for a relaxing family holiday. The location is fabulous, the view incredible, but less than ten minutes from the lovely village of Galaxidi. Here you will find beautiful beaches (around the forest), great tavernas and a well stocked and very friendly grocery store on the waterfront with a charming and helpful owner. If this wasn't perfect enough, the villa came with all sorts of extra surprises, like local olive oil, fresh almonds from the mountain and local honey to name just a few of the wonderful "little extras" that the owners, Titsa and Rob left in our villa (there were many more). Thank you Titsa, Rob and Irini for being so welcoming, friendly and patient. It has been a pleasure, not just from 'mum' and 'dad' but from all three boys who thoroughly enjoyed your company and hospitality.
We were lucky spend three weeks in this villa . It's a beautiful place. the benefits are great. The owners take care of you as if you were part of the family. Truly an amazing place . Thanks for all.
Une semaine dans une villa de rêve...une vue incroyable, dans une magnifique villa tres tres spacieuse, et très calme. Tout le descriptif est réel...et meme en dessous de la réalité ..c'est encore plus beau que sur les photos.. Et il y a meme 4 chambres, et 4 salles de bain... De beaux meubles, de beaux matériaux, dans une maison tres bien équipée...un très bel accueil, avec des produits locaux en cadeau de bienvenue ( olives, miel, confiture d'agrumes, Orange confites etc...) et un grand merci à Maurice pour ses services et ses conseils.
Une magnifique piscine dans un cadre incroyable...qui invite à la baignade, à la lecture et au farniente... Puis quelques balades à ne pas manquer : galaxidi, charmant petit village, le site de Delphes et son musée et meme une balade dans la montagne sur le Mont Parnasse en passant par Arachova, histoire d'aller se rafraîchir un peu ( semaine assez chaude).
Bref, allez-y...
It was just wonderful. Thanks for everything...

Aldrich Materials Science discovers liquid-free preparation of metal organic frameworksDecember 21, 2012
Researchers at Aldrich Materials Science, a strategic technology initiative of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (NASDAQ:SIAL) have discovered an innovative way to design an important class of three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structures, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), under completely liquid-free conditions. High purity MOF products prepared by the liquid-free process may be ideally suited as rare earth containing materials for sensors and detectors, electronic or magnetic materials. The discovery also extends liquid-free preparation techniques to a large new class of 3D-structured materials and is expected to lead to new products with unique properties and suitability for applications heretofore unknown.
A report of the Aldrich-developed procedure was recently published in the prominent peer-reviewed journal, Chemical Communications. Drs. Niraj Singh, Meenakshi Hardi and Viktor Balema from the Aldrich Hard Materials Center of Excellence demonstrated the synthesis of Y-MOF (MIL-78) using a room-temperature ball-milling process in the absence of a solvent or liquid grinding additive. In the process, yttrium hydride was ball-milled with solid high-melting trimesic acid to form Y-MOF (MIL-78). Gaseous hydrogen was the only by-product observed in the process. The liquid-free synthesis process yields MOF products of exceptional purity by preventing contamination from solvents and liquid residues.
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive class of highly ordered materials built by combining multi-functional organic molecules (linkers) and metal ions into a 3D network. The well-defined, highly-ordered, and readily-controlled structure of MOFs can be exploited in a diverse range of applications including gas storage, separations, catalysis, sensors and drug delivery. The presence of modifiable organic linkers in the MOF structure enables tunability of function and customization of end use.
Current routes to MOF materials typically rely on solution-based processes in which the organic linker and the metal source - a metal salt, carbonate or oxide - are partially or fully dissolved in an appropriate solvent and reacted. The reaction can occur in a tightly closed vessel at high temperature or by subjecting the solution to microwaves, ultrasound or electrochemical treatment. Metal-organic framework materials can also be prepared by milling solid-phase metal derivatives and solid-phase organic linkers in the presence of a liquid, which can be included as an additive with the initial solid-phase reaction mixture or generated in situ as a byproduct during the milling process. Although often asserted to be "solid-state," such processes necessarily involve liquid components, which can act as liquid micro-reactors that control the reaction process and promote the formation of MOFs by the conventional solution-based mechanism.
Until the discovery, it was uncertain whether MOF materials could be prepared in a completely liquid-free environment and whether new types of MOF materials and MOF materials of the purity required for many high-tech applications could be prepared in a cost-effective process.
"Excluding liquids from the preparation finally opens the way to making MOF materials whose properties are not influenced by the presence of contaminants and, therefore, may be quite different from those of conventional MOFs. Our approach also avoids the use of solvents, which are often harmful to the environment, difficult to remove from the extended 3D networks of the targeted MOF product materials, and detrimental to the performance of MOF materials in many applications." said Dr. Viktor Balema, Manager of the Aldrich Hard Materials Center of Excellence. Dr. Balema further noted that "Aldrich's process should enable generation of unique hybrid structures with non-conventional properties applicable in numerous areas of modern science and technology, which extend from energy generation and storage to electronics and bio-technology."
Prior to journal publication, Aldrich Materials Science filed a provisional patent application for the newly discovered procedure with the US Patent Office. "This discovery exemplifies the work being done at the Hard Materials Center of Excellence. Through this Center along with the Polymer Center of Excellence, we seek to enable innovation through new product additions to our materials portfolio, collaborations, technology licensing, custom research, process development and scale-up," commented Dr. Shashi Jasty, Director, Aldrich Materials Science.

During four weeks in 1974, eight (26 percent) of 31 intensive care unit patients who had undergone open-heart surgery developed symptomatic Pseudomonas cepacia bacteremia in the intensive care unit one to three days after the open-heart surgery. An investigation demonstrated that operating room pressure transducers were being contaminated during cleaning with a detergent that contained P cepacia at the rate of 10(4) organisms per milliliter and that the organisms were transmitted to patients after open-heart surgery as a result of one to three days of contact with transducer-monitoring lines used in the operating room and brought to the intensive care unit with the patient. Pressure-transducer contamination, a frequently unappreciated but preventable cause of nosocomial bacteremia, can be minimized by sterilizing transducers between use on different patients by paying strict attention to aseptic technique when setting up, calibrating, and using monitoring systems; and by changing transducers, tubing, and monitoring fluid for each monitored patient at regular intervals.

Does your company block employee access to social networking sites in the office? Does it have a Facebook page that is rarely updated? Do you rely on mailing a paper newsletter to get the word out about your products and services?
Answer "yes" to any of the above, and you may as well be operating in the Dark Ages.
These days, having a social media presence – and knowing how to properly use it to generate revenue or improve a company's performance – is becoming an important part of survival in the business world.
Yet many companies have no idea where to begin and what steps they should take to get the most out of social media. Some companies continue to doubt the need for engaging with consumers and potential clients online, and put up barriers to developing a strong social media presence.
"A lot of companies are continuing to use a one-size-fits-all model, with everyone receiving the same content in the same format and by the same channel," says Selena Cameron, vice-president at communications company Hill & Knowlton Canada.
But social networking is here to stay, and in the future it will play an increasingly important role in day-to-day business. For that reason, there is mounting focus on how companies can reap the benefits of social media and change their corporate culture enough to accommodate this shift.
One of the most important elements of success in the area also sounds like the simplest: Create a social media strategy that spells out your company's goals and how to achieve them.
In fact, this is a very challenging aim in a world where most companies have aspects of client engagement spread throughout a number of departments, and no clear lines of responsibility for maintaining Facebook pages or responding to messages on Twitter.
"It's causing organizational chaos internally," says Michael Brito, senior vice-president at communications firm Edelman Digital. "All of a sudden you have kind of a land grab for roles and responsibilities ... think of marketing versus PR versus customer support, they all feel they own the customer experience."
Mr. Brito says companies that use social media effectively have invested plenty of effort to hammer out who is responsible for each aspect of their social media plan, and the governance model used to oversee it.
But even the best-laid plans will result in failure if there's no willingness to take risks and allow employees to embrace creativity in the world of social media.
Unlike many traditional marketing strategies, there is rarely an immediate payoff and no single way to measure the impact of social media on a company's bottom line. As a result, companies must be willing to step outside their comfort zone and invest time and money in a venture that could take months to produce results.
"It's not something you can just flip a switch on," says Jason Falls, CEO of Social Media Explorer, a platform that focuses on information and educational products related to social media and digital marketing. "It takes time to cultivate those relationships."
That doesn't mean executives should throw money at a social media initiative without a clear understanding of the potential benefits. Rather, allowing employees to use social media to engage with clients, reach out to potential consumers and keep an ear to the ground in the marketplace has the potential to strengthen brand awareness and loyalty, as well as drive sales, Mr. Falls says.
"The more you participate in social media – especially if you do some really cool things – the more [you]can extend your awareness," he says.
Mr. Falls notes the example of a restaurant in Baltimore that had long line-ups on Sundays, but lacklustre sales during the week. The owners ran a social media promotion that allowed people who "checked in" the largest number of times at the restaurant during the week using Foursquare to skip the long Sunday brunch line. The restaurant saw a sales increase of nearly 20 per cent in the next three months, Mr. Falls says.
Unlike restaurants or retail outlets selling goods directly to consumers, many organizations offer information to clients and must find different ways to take advantage of social media.
Hill & Knowlton Canada recently launched a new "pulse" service that allows clients to customize the type of information they receive from the company and how it is delivered – either through e-mail, Twitter or an RSS feed.
Not only does this give the clients the option of receiving the information however they want, it also helps the company to better understand how to target certain individuals and build better relationships.
"We feel like it's something that's really going to vault us past our competitors just because it's so unique," Ms. Cameron says.
Yet no matter how engaged certain companies may be online, the intersection of social media and business is still in its infancy, experts say.
"We're definitely at the beginning," Mr. Falls says. "We've just started to scratch the surface on what's possible."Report Typo/Error

I have been unable to get consistent information on the legality of push daggers in Texas. Yes/No/Maybe/Just Don't is the range...
It looks to me that with a minimum 'backedge' thinning near the point would be OK, but need more info.
When training people new to self defense activities, this is definitely the weapon to allow greatest effective application most quickly and naturally.

Corey Taylor Says 2012 Will Be 'A Strengthening Year' For Slipknot
Loudwire recently conducted an interview with Corey Taylor. Below you can read an excerpt from the interview.
Loud Wire: What do you see happening with Slipknot in 2012?
Corey Taylor: I think [2012] will just be more of a strengthening year for us. [The 2010 death of bassist Paul Gray is] still very fresh for us, even though it's been a year and a half since his death. It is still something that breaks me down every night. I just know if we try to rush in and make an album that doesn't feel right, the audience will know. The audience will know that it doesn't feel right and they'll know it was forced and they'll know it isn't genuine. If anything we have always been as genuine with our audience as possible. That is why I have gone out of my way to say 'Look, I'm not ready to do it.'
And I know there are guys in the band that may or may not be comfortable saying it to anyone else but I know they feel the same way because they have said so to me. I think as long as the guys know we are going to eventually going to they are OK with that. It is not that time yet. When we make the album we all know it is going to be for Paul, you know? And I don't think any of us are ready to open up that much yet. I think we need to take the steps to strengthen ourselves as a band first. And then start making those steps.
And, plus, he was one of our major, major songwriters. There is such a huge gap because of his loss. And I feel it. And that's why I am not comfortable. It doesn't make sense yet. And that is one of those things that makes me a villain to a lot of kids. Me saying we aren't going to make an album is like me saying that the band is going to break up for some people. And everyone needs to calm down. I never said that. I said it is going to be a while before we make another album. But I think the more we put ourselves out there and the more we show ourselves as a band, a solid unit, the more people calm down about that.
Read the rest at Loudwire.

A Statement by ACM's Executive Director, Anthony Horvath, Arguing that One Issue Voting is Acceptable When Life is on the Line
With election day tomorrow there are many people still deliberating on who to vote for. Some people, who may consider themselves pro-life, may be torn by other issues, such as their support for universal health care or 'social justice,' which they believe Obama and the Democrats might support. In fact, when asked to vote 'pro-life' they might say that they are voting pro-life, because they are voting to give care and comfort for those already living.
Be that as it may, and contrary to many so-called 'ethicists' say, there is no moral justification for murdering one person in order to make another person more comfortable. So long as one political party in this country supports abortion on demand, even up to the point where they advocate for late term abortions such as partial birth abortion, and you believe the unborn human is a person worthy of protection, there is simply no way that party can receive a vote.
Note the important assumptions. 1., you believe the unborn human is a person worthy of protection. 2., the political party in question supports killing that person.
Obviously, if you do not accept the first assumption, the second assumption is moot.
Imagine, if you will, that one candidate embodies every single value you support and will further those values in their policies, and have demonstrated that they will, but on one tiny little point, they differ: they believe that Jews or black people should be put into camps and gassed to death and then turned to ash in specially designed ovens.
There is a 99% agreement between you and that candidate on every other issue, but the remaining 1% is not inconsequential, indeed, it is controlling… provided you believe Jews and black people are human persons worthy of our protection.
Most people would agree with this, and on this issue would unapologetically be a 'one issue' voter. However, many people believe that the unborn human is also a person worthy of protection, just as they see every other person–black, red, white–as worthy of protection, but for some reason they can't bring themselves to make that their 'one issue.'
Why? "I wouldn't make that choice myself, but I can't impose my view on others."
Were we wrong for imposing our views on the Nazis, who believed the Jews were vermin?
Were we wrong for imposing our views on American society, which for decades believed that black people were inferior?
If it is a life, it is a life. We don't normally refuse to protect life, just because some other people have decided those lives to be unworthy of our protection. The Nazis and American progressives all believed that the 'unfit' were as much a burden on society as some women might view the unborn a burden on their bodies, and yet we did not think it appropriate to just leave it to their 'choice.'
The core question is this: is the unborn child really a child, or not?
If you answer in the affirmative, you must not vote for a candidate who would kill it.
People like Obama and Tammy Baldwin support partial birth abortion, where they deliver most of the baby… up until the head, which they allow just enough to be visible so they can jam a hole into the baby's skull and sucking out the brain. (Can you imagine any reason why the mother's life could be in jeopardy any more by delivering the whole baby, except the head?)
While gruesome, it is only one grotesque extension of what happens earlier in a pregnancy. But more important is the reasoning that allows them to support that procedure or any other: based on their reasoning, the state decides when a person is a person.
It should not surprise anyone, then, that other people have decided that the reasoning extends beyond birth, even. (Google 'after-birth abortion.') You must understand, there is nothing that magically happens during birth so that one second it is a fetus, which can be destroyed without moral consequence, and then one second later, after it travels down the birth canal, it becomes a baby, worthy of our protection. There is no dramatic difference, which is why people like Peter Singer and Julian Savulescu don't see any problem with 'terminating' a child even after he is born, even up to a year, or two years of age.
In short, if you will not make the preservation of life your one issue while that life is in the womb, there is every indication that in due time life outside the womb–perhaps yours–may be targeted.
It has happened before. Vote wisely.

Mystery Squeak HELP
So my Summit just hit 1400 miles and so far nothing major (fingers crossed) however, intermittently over some rough patches of road there is this mystery squeak. Try as I might I can not pinpoint it. It is definitely coming from the passenger side somewhere. Could be sunroof, seat, door, suspension. I have no idea. It is a faint noise but it is really starting to make me crazy because I know it can be fixed if I can find it. Has anyone else had some mystery squeaks or creaks in the 14? I did check the clips around the pano roof and all were secure.
I have a creak coming from rear passenger side. I'm pretty sure it's the pano roof. I hear it when the body flexes like turning into my driveway or any rough patch on road. Think i read there are a bunch of adjustment points they can do on pano roof. I'm gonna have dealer look at when I go in for oil change.
Can try to have someone drive jeep while you sit in back and search for squeak.
Yep that sounds about exactly like what I am hearing. I need to find a new dealer. My current dealer would say something like "couldn't replicate" or "that's normal". I will ride in the back tomorrow and try to see if the pano is the source.
Yeah try another dealer. I'm gonna take the direct approach and just tell them straight up its the pano roof and I'm sure there are many adjustment points to fine tune it. Gives em less wiggle room to say they couldn't find it etc.
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
im getting a humming or vibration by the glove box,dealer said they adjusted it its back
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
I think whatever was making contact just wore itself down over the potholes...
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
Almost positive it is the pano. Either that or there is a mouse in my jeep.
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
Been there done that.:o
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
Ok here is the update. Drove around as a passenger in the thing. NOT the pano roof to my surprise. The "Chirp" as I now call it was sounding like it was from the front passenger side. So I pulled out the glove box and rode around some more.
It wasn't until pulling into the driveway that we realized it was a chirp over slow smooth bumps and it was coming from the front passenger side wheel well. Bushing maybe?
Re: Mystery Squeak HELP
It doesn't sound like it is coming from the air suspension components. Maybe some secondary suspension part.

Amendments to Colorado Medical Marijuana Law
On June 7, 2010, HB1284 was signed into law and established state provisions regulating medical cannabis dispensaries.
The law requires that medical marijuana dispensaries are licensed at both state and local level and must pay a state licensing fee. Dispensary operators are to cultivate, or oversee the cultivation of, at least 70% of the marijuana dispensed at the center.
HB1284 also imposed a statewide moratorium on the establishment of new dispensaries, although it allowed for Individual caregivers to provide medical cannabis for up to five patients in localities that have formally banned dispensaries.
Also on June 7, 2010, SB109 was signed into law. This bill makes it compulsory that physicians can only recommend marijuana to patients with whom s/he has had a prior counselling relationship.

One Response to Marijuana Laws in Colorado
Morse was defeated by a margin of 600 votes. At least that many votes against him, or at least that many votes that didn't go to him, could well have come from people angry over Morse's attempt to inject a 'poison-pill' into Amendment 64. The Marijuana Policy Project named Morse "The Worst Anti-pot State Legislator In The Country."
You, who are NOT living under a Prohibition, and will never live under a Prohibition, but like to pretend you're living under a Prohibition, come here to wage your Culture War (Which is the primary thing standing behind the continuation of cannabis Prohibition) against the "dopehead losers" you so love to hate – And, who, by the way are living under an ACTUAL Prohibition – but maybe instead you should be saying THANK YOU to those people, for helping you get the victory on which you now engorge.

Whoopsie Ate My Server RAM?!? (An Ubuntu Tweak)
Whoopsie is Ubuntu's automated error tracker submission daemon, it's Wiki page says:
Ubuntu's error tracker explains crashes, hangs, and other severe errors to end users; lets them report an error with the click of a button;
(emphasis, mine)
Which, certainly sounds like a good idea — with two minor drawbacks:
a) Ubuntu Server has no "buttons" to click.
b) Reporting "end-user formatted errors" on a Server is probably not useful — now, it might just be me, but seeing:
"Apache has crashed"
"child pid 7716 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)"
the latter is probably more useful to diagnosing the problem that caused the signal 11 in the first place.
Now to be fair to Ubuntu, the "Apache has crashed" error doesn't really exist as a current error exhibited from the Whoopsie daemon, but that's not the point of this post — which is actually the large amounts of system memory that it seems to use by default.
In addition, i'd suggest that on a desktop installation the Whoopsie daemon is actually quite useful, especially for non-technical end-users and first time Linux users (there are exceptions, such as the consistant crash that occurs on the Unity desktop environment on Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10).
However, we're talking about servers in this instance, where the same rules do not generally apply.
So, moving right along…
Compare the following two screenshots, which are examples from one of our running machines, the first with Whoopsie running on an installation running nginx and varnish — but it's otherwise a barebones installation, just web software, no PHP, no SQL, no DNS.
The second, after purging the whoopsie program from our Ubuntu installation.
183M of Virtual RAM (vmsize) for a daemon we'll never use, seems excessive.
Of course, using the incredibly useful smaps.pl script by Ben Maurer, we can see a much more detailed breakdown of the memory used by Whoopsie — both those that are shared with other processes on the system, as well as those that are exclusive to the particular program we're looking into.
To run Smaps.pl
If you're interesting in duplicating the tests described in this post, you'll need to do the following:
a) the actual script, which doesn't seem to exist on Ben's original page, but you can find with a little searching through the interschnizel.
b) and, if you don't already have it make :
# apt-get install make
c) then, simply install the required perl modules using CPAN, like:
# cpan App::cpanminus
# cpan Class::Member
# cpan Linux::Smaps
Once we've done all that, simply run:
# perl smem.pl <process ID>
(Obviously, if you're not actually building binaries on your server, you should either remove the make software when you've completed your tests, or better, install a copy of your installation under virtualisation and run your tests there.)
So, if we now go ahead and analyse the amount of memory that the whoopsie daemon is actually using a total of 4.3M of RAM and we also find libgobject, x509, heimdal, SQLite and a number of other libraries that are, frankly un-needed on a server that is only serving static pages from a lightweight HTTP server.
It looks even worse, especially when the static webserver has a total vmsize of 31M and is only using 996kb of RAM of it's own accord.
So, in order to save yourself a little RAM on a server installation of Ubuntu — especially if you are running a low-memory system, are experiencing swappiness issues, or just want to have a leaner system.
# apt-get purge whoopsie libwhoopsie0

DVD player for GC Limited 2014
Hey, guys! Somehow I dont have an ability to play DVD's on my GC Lim 2014. All I got is aux, usb and sd. No DVD/CD player. Couldnt get a reasonable answer from the dealership. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Re: DVD player for GC Limited 2014
CD player was an option. If you had one it would be in the center console.
Many of us were disappointed and transferred our music to sd cards. At least some who did get the cd player are sorry, because it takes up so much of the console storage.
I see. Dealer suggested to buy a DVD player
Re: DVD player for GC Limited 2014
i am a new jeep owner (actually picking up my limited with Luxury group II and 20's tomorrow) but i was curious if anyone knows when the dvd option is going to be available or if anyone has installed headrest dvds. I know it has the active head restraint setup but i have only found the Rosen AV7700 as an option. Any ideas?
Hey guys I have the grand cherokee limited group 2 for a week now. There are 3 thing that drive me crazy. 1) my iPod playlist can't be selected from steering wheel. 2) can't lower subwoofer to much bass. And more importantly this makes me insane, the seat belt CHIME. omg does anyone know how to fix these issues. And yes I know I should be wearing a seatbelt.
Re: DVD player for GC Limited 2014
Thank you very much for the answer! Sorry didnt see it earlier
Re: DVD player for GC Limited 2014
I just installed one in my 2014 SRT and posted instructions here.

LA JOLLA, Calif.—The Colorado State women's water polo team completed its 2012 season Sunday, falling to third-seeded Cal State Bakersfield in triple overtime, 7-6. The loss dropped CSU to 2-2 on the weekend, but the Rams, who were ranked No. 8 going into the tournament, finished sixth in the WWPA Women's Championship.
Senior Kallie Berry, who was playing in her final collegiate competition, led CSU with two goals. On the weekend, she scored nine times in the four contests, earning second-team all-tournament honors.
The game was back-and-forth the entire way through, with the two squads tied after the first period, at halftime and the end of the fourth period.
CSU took a 5-4 lead when Berry scored in the opening minute of the second half. Both teams were scoreless for more than 13 minutes thereafter, however, until the Roadrunners tied it up with 1 minute, 30 seconds remaining in regulation.
Neither team scored in the first overtime. The drama continued in the second extra period, with Bakersfield's Bianca Adams scoring with 36 seconds remaining, looking like the game-winning goal. However, Amber Bryan, also a senior, fired back with a goal with 10 ticks on the clock, sending the game into sudden-victory overtime, where the first team to score wins.
Goalie Michelle Slagle made 15 saves for the Rams, tied for sixth in CSU single-game history.
Despite a record of 8-22 on the year, CSU's improved steadily throughout the season, capping it with a sixth-place finish in the conference tournament.
Top-seeded LMU defeated No. 2 UC San Diego in the championship game, 7-6, to earn an automatic bid to the 2012 National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championship, hosted by San Diego State May 11-13. No. 4 Cal State East Bay defeated No. 6 Cal State Monterey Bay, 7-6, for third place. No. 5 Santa Clara beat No. 7 Sonoma State in triple overtime, 7-6, for seventh place.

NASCAR decided to allow an open testing session on Tuesday, December 11 and today, Wednesday December 12 at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Sprint Cup Series and the new Sixth Generation Car. It was an opportunity that some drivers and teams took while others like Roush-Fenway Racing and driver Carl Edwards did not. Motorsports 101 debates whether Carl Edwards should have been at the test.
After a Bad 2012 Season the Answer is Yes – By Clayton Caldwell
Carl Edwards not showing up to the test was really surprising. I understand that Roush-Fenway Racing makes the chassis and engines on both Richard Petty Motorsports and the Wood Brothers Racing team, but that doesn't mean Edwards and company should skip out on the test just because they don't feel like going.
We know Roush-Fenway Racing has the money to go to the test. Their race shop is the closest geographically to Charlotte Motor Speedway, so traveling isn't an issue. It's even a bigger deal because we have a new racecar. Again, I understand that Roush shares info with two teams at the test, but how can we be sure if those teams discover something, they are going to be 100% truthful with Roush. It's a new car and it makes no sense to let your opponents get an upper hand.
Edwards will also have a new crew chief and team next season. Matt Kenseth's #17 team from 2012 will move over to Edwards' #99 team for 2013, including crew chief Jimmy Fennig. Time with the new team and new crew chief is precious and yet Edwards and company skipped out on the test. With the year Edwards had last year, I started wondering if Edwards' focus was 100% where it needed to be throughout the 2012 season. You would think the team and the driver would make sure their 2013 season would be better and make sure they do everything possible to compete for a championship and win races. To me, by not showing up to this test, it is not doing everything possible to compete in 2013.
Then comes the fact that you are now sharing engines with Penske Racing, a team that won the Championship last season. That means you can no longer beat Penske by just having more horsepower or outrunning them. You're going to have to handle better and use better pit strategy to beat those guys on a weekly basis. Can Edwards do that? With a new crew chief it may take him awhile to do it.
NASCAR has let these teams test and if you have a new crew chief and new team I would think you should take as much time as needed to work out the kinks and get ready for a strong 2013 season. For whatever reason, Carl Edwards and the 99 team didn't do that. We'll see if it will cost them.
New Car Shakedown Should Have Been a Priority – By Mark Eddinger
Sixteen different drivers and 10 race organizations took to the track on Tuesday to test the new Sixth Generation Car at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The teams included Hendrick Motorsports (3 cars), Richard Childress Racing (3 cars), Penske Racing (2 cars), Joe Gibbs Racing (2 cars), Stewart-Hass Racing (1 car), Richard Petty Motorsports (1 car), Germain Racing (1 car), Earnhardt Ganassi Racing (1 car), JTG/Daugherty Racing (1 car), and Wood Brothers Racing (1 car).
So where was Roush-Fenway Racing? Carl Edwards finished 15th in the final points and was a non-factor in almost every race in 2012. Greg Biffle and rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. also were not at the new car test. The 2013 season will be a very important one for Roush-Fenway Racing as a whole and especially Carl Edwards so it is surprising that they didn't send even one car to the test.
NASCAR made the test session an open session that will not count against the testing limitations that will be in affect during the season. During those tests race organizations can only send one car to a test at a track. But for this first test session for the new car NASCAR allowed race organizations to send as many cars as they liked. Since Edwards is coming off a terrible season and will be working with new crew chief Jimmy Fennig it would have made sense for them to get the seat time in the new car.
With that said Edwards was not the only big name driver that did not come to the test. Kyle Busch, who also missed the Chase like Edwards in 2012, was not at the test. Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart, and Martin Truex Jr. were also not present. Also Roush-Fenway Racing was not the only organization to not send any cars. Joining them was Michael Waltrip Racing, Furniture Row Racing, BK Racing, and Front Row Motorsports.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that any driver or team would want to skip out on any testing session that is available to them with the Sixth Generation Car. But there is a session at Daytona International Speedway on January 10-12 and a second test at Charlotte Motor Speedway on January 17 and 18. Maybe the teams thought there wasn't a lot to be learned at this first test. Expect more drivers and teams to get their feet wet with the new car at those tests.Tags: Carl Edwards, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Clayton Caldwell, Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Jimmy Fennig, Kyle Busch, Mark Eddinger, matt kenseth, Motorsports, NASCAR, Roush, Tony Stewart

Submitted to: Journal of Plant Nutrition
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/30/2009
Publication Date: 7/13/2009
Citation: Roh, M.S., and Lawson, R. 2009. Source of boron in Curcuma for burn symptoms at leaf margins. J. Plant Nutrition. 32:798-808. Interpretive Summary: Genotypes of Curcuma spp. native to tropical Asia, have been cultivated as ornamentals because they have large, showy, concave or hooded bracts. Older leaves often exhibit burn symptom at the margin of the leaves ('LMB') and this could be correlated to high concentrations of boron (B), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). These symptoms were observed in older leaves of 'CMU Pride' with broad leaves, but the 'LMB' symptoms were not observed in young leaves of 'CMU Pride' or C. alismatifolia with narrow leaves. It has not been investigated whether the source of B responsible for 'LMB' observed in old leaves of Curcuma species with broad leaves is responsible for 'LMB' and whether B is supplied from the growing medium, rhizomes, or resulting from guttation. The objectives of this study were (a) to investigate the source of accumulated B in the affected part of the leaves and (b) determine the relationship between 'Leaf margin-burn' ('LMB') and nutrient element content of leaf tissue. B accumulated in the outer region of the old leaves following evaporation of gutatted water droplets containing dissolved B. High levels of B in the edge of the old leaves may not be transported from the rhizomes.
Technical Abstract: This study was initiated to investigate the source of boron (B) accumulated in margins of leaves of Curcuma 'Chiangmai University Pride ('CMU Pride'). Nutrient elements were analyzed from different rhizome locations before potting, and from whole rhizomes and different leaf locations at harvest after forcing in soilless medium. Plants were fertilized with solutions lacking B during the forcing period. Leaf-margin burn, ('LMB') symptoms in old leaves of 'CMU Pride' could result from the combination of high levels of B and low total N levels. High levels of manganese (Mn) may not be involved in 'LMB' symptoms. B accumulated in the outer region of the old leaves following evaporation of gutatted water droplets containing dissolved B. High levels of B in the edge of the old leaves may not be transported from the rhizomes.
