LOS ANGELES – A U.S. appeals court has labeled militant conservationist group Sea Shepherd as pirates and cleared the way for Japanese whalers to pursue legal action against them.
"You don't need a peg leg or an eye patch" to be a pirate, declared Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, overturning a lower court's ruling against Japanese whalers, who he said were "researchers."
"When you ram ships, hurl glass containers of acid, drag metal-reinforced ropes in the water to damage propellers and rudders, launch smoke bombs and flares with hooks; and point high-powered lasers at other ships, you are, without a doubt, a pirate," Kozinski said.
This is true "no matter how high-minded you believe your purpose to be," he added in a ruling that dubbed Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson as "eccentric."
Sea Shepherd boats are currently chasing the fleet hunting whales off Antarctica as they have done for years.
Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research and others are pursuing legal action in the United States, seeking an injunction against their activities on the high seas.
In its ruling Monday, the court overturned a U.S. district judge's ruling that Sea Shepherd were not pirates. This allows the Institute of Cetacean Research to pursue their action against the antiwhaling group.
The plaintiffs "are Japanese researchers who hunt whales in the Southern Ocean," which is regulated by an international convention, of which the United States and Japan are signatories, it noted.
The convention "authorizes whale hunting when conducted in compliance with a research permit issued by a signatory," said the ruling.
"Cetacean has such a permit from Japan. Nonetheless, it has been hounded on the high seas for years by a group calling itself Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and its eccentric founder, Paul Watson."
It concluded: "The activities that Cetacean alleges Sea Shepherd has engaged in are clear instances of violent acts for private ends, the very embodiment of piracy. The district court erred in dismissing Cetacean's piracy claims."
Japan conducts its scientific research using a loophole in an international whaling ban under the International Whaling Commission but makes no secret that the meat ultimately end up on dinner plates.
Japan defends whaling as a tradition and accuses Western critics of disrespecting its culture. Norway and Iceland are the only nations that hunt whales in open defiance of the 1986 IWC moratorium on commercial whaling.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie
Be the first to review
READY IN: 2hrs 50mins
Recipe by PSU Lioness
This sounds really good with the rum raisin ice cream. Time is so long because of freezing but I swear it's super simple to make. I found this in the October 4, 2005 issue of Woman's Day. I'm mainly posting so I don't lose it. Enjoy.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (6 ounce) ready-to-fill graham cracker pie crust
- 4 pints rum-raisin ice cream (Haagen-Dazs has it)
- 1 (30 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling (Libbey or other)
Directions See How It's Made
- Freeze pie crusts and a large metal bowl 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soften 2 pints ice cream at room temperature.

Samsung Galaxy S III To Hit all Four Major U.S. Carriers Starting at $199 on June 21

US Cellular also gets in on the Galaxy S III action
If you're one of the many smartphone fans that have been waiting in anticipation for the
Samsung Galaxy S III
smartphones to land in the United States, it will be coming this month with some specifications that are a bit changed from the first time we talked about the smartphone.
Samsung has announced that the smartphone will be coming on all four major service providers in the United States. That means no matter if you're on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon, you will be able to get the smartphone starting this month. Even US Cellular customers are shown some love by Samsung. The phone will launch at $199 for the 16GB model and $249 for the 32GB model on all carriers June 21
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across all major carriers," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The S III boasts a 4.8-inch display with a thin bezel for maximum viewable area. The phone weighs 4.7 ounces and is 8.6 mm thick. The device supports 4G LTE connectivity for fast data and file transfers -- that is assuming the buyer is in an LTE covered area.
The S III introduces the next version of Samsung's content sharing service called AllShare Play. This technology allows the smartphone to automatically recognize other Samsung devices on the user's home network and remotely access files on those other devices. A Wi-Fi network is required for that feature to operate. The smartphone also supports easy sharing for images and uses S-Beam technology to directly share large files such as video and photographs between compatible devices.
The mobile phone runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and has Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. The phone runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual core processor (Samsung announced a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos SOC for world markets) with 2 GB of RAM. The Galaxy S III will be offered in marble white or pebble blue colors.
"The Galaxy S III is the most innovative smartphone on the market today. It is an industry first to see five major carriers align behind the launch of a single device virtually simultaneously," said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Telecommunications America. "To support the immense excitement for the Galaxy S III we will execute our biggest marketing campaign ever. Consumers won't be able to miss why this device is the must-have smartphone."
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

What it looks like you have is a manual brake master cylinder with an insert installed to take up the space to the booster pushrod. Not a problem, but I haven't seen that before.
You also have a combination valve, and if I understand you correctly that is the same one that you used when it was disc/drum correct? If so, that is the wrong unit for disc/disc. Did you remove the drum brake check valve out of the combination valve, out of the master cylinder (some masters have them built in) or was it an inline valve?
What I would do is this. Disconnect your brake pedal from the booster so it isn't pushing against it at all. Put that spacer into the master cylinder, lengthen the pushrod coming out of the booster quite a bit. Then, slide the master onto the booster and you should feel the piston hit the pushrod. If so, shorten the booster pushrod and retest until you can just slide the master onto the booster without feeling resistance, then shorten it about 1/2 turn more. That way you can be sure the booster isn't preloading the master, and that there isn't too much clearace. Bolt on the master cylinder to the booster. Then, adjust the pedal pushrod until you get the pedal height you want and tighten the jam nut.
Now is where it gets interesting. If you like, bleed and test the system and see if it is any better. If not, remove the combination valve and set it aside. Install a 2lb check valve, one in the front lines near the master cylinder, and one in the rear line along with an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line, bleed and retest. I think then things will be much better.
I still would like to know what kind of calipers you have on the rear axle.

I can't believe that Tech is in a Bowl Game ...
Let's examine this a little.
You finish "SEVENTH" in your conference.
Tech opened the season schedule with essentially three 5A High Schools for opponents and 3 BIG wins. Yea right.
Then for the remainder of the season they do not win a game against a Big 12 opponent with a winning record within the conference except "one". This is Tech's every year, "pick one big time opponent", win that game and then return to it's usual mediocrity.
The powerful Raiders managed 3 wins after the high school games against opponents with winning records. An 11-1 record, two 7-5 records. Their remaining win was at the expense of a 6-6 team.
Three wins total over teams that you would call Quality opponents.
I can't for the life of me see why they would be invited to the Broken Down Car Bowl.
Of course the Tech kool aide drinkers can't ever see this. I think the whole attitude of Tech football can be pretty well summed up with Don Williams' (Head Kool Aide Drinker) article the other day stating "Well at least we're in a Bowl Game". Geeeeezzzz what a distorted way to look at a failed season again ....
The one thing this team excels in is off the field antics. Coaches who slap other coaches on national T.V. Baby fits throwing clip boards and papers. Yelling at officials. Coaches getting players out of scrapes with the law.
Let's not forget the greatest one talent - making excuses.
• Were young • Were hurt • playing with previous coaches recruits • Were young • Were hurt • repeat one are all of the above again and again and again
Win, lose, lose, lose or lose this is an embarrassment to Tech to have this thrown in front of the public.
Oh yea, there is "The Money" which is King of all .......

Former Indiana doctor found guilty of felony counts
A former Indiana physician has been convicted of charges that he traded drugs and gifts for sex with at least two of his patients.
Tahir Usman Mir, 62, was found guilty by a jury in Indiana County Common Pleas Court on Thursday evening in a trial that began Monday before President Judge William Martin.
Prosecutors from the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General charged Mir in October 2011, culminating a lengthy investigation of reports that Mir liberally provided narcotics and wrote prescriptions for painkillers to drug addicts at the Indiana Walk-In Clinic that Mir operated along South Fifth Street, in a building that has since been demolished to make way for new construction.
Investigators conducted surveillance of Mir's offices, gained the cooperation of two patients who agreed to testify against him and arrested him in a small apartment on an upper floor of the building. Attorney General's agents converged on the apartment at the time Mir expected a patient to arrive for a sexual rendezvous, and took him into custody, reportedly while he struggled against the officers.
Mir was prepared to give the woman a prescription for painkillers, according to the charges.
As the charges proceeded through the court, Mir had flip-flopped in his response to the charges. He pleaded guilty in October but asked to withdraw his plea just before he was scheduled to be sentenced in February and reasserted his innocence, saying he had not understood the charges.
At his trial, Mir was prosecuted on five felony charges, including two counts of prescribing drugs that were medically unnecessary, two counts of conspiracy and one count of Medicaid fraud, purporting that he accepted cash payments for medication rather than submitting claims for payment through the state insurance program.
Prosecutors also charged him with a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest; the jury found him not guilty of the count Thursday.
According to the attorney general's office, the investigation into Mir's practice began in 2009 after area residents, local police, area pharmacists and regional health insurance companies complained to the attorney general's office about Mir's "apparent excessive narcotic prescribing practices."
Medicaid Fraud Control Section agents gained the cooperation of two female patients as confidential informants, who told of arranging with Mir to get narcotic painkillers that they did not need.
According to a criminal information document filed by prosecutors, Mir in two counts "failed to act in good faith in the course of his professional practice, and/or acted outside the scope of the doctor/patient relationship, and/or prescribed controlled substances … which were not in accordance with treatment principles accepted by a responsible segment of the medical procession."
According to the conspiracy charges, Mir also arranged with the two women to "engage in conduct which constitutes crimes … the overt act of unlawfully prescribing controlled substances."
From December 2008 to October 2011, he had inappropriately prescribed Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Alprazolam and Phenteramine to Jennifer Lawson, according to the charges.
Mir also was charged with unnecessarily prescribing Oxycodone and Diazepam to Brandi Benton between January 2010 and October 2011.
Mir voluntarily surrendered his medical license to face disciplinary action by the Pennsylvania Department of State.
The department's online records show Mir, a native of Pakistan, was licensed to practice medicine July 1, 1977. His license was last renewed Nov. 30, 2010, and expired Dec. 31.

Scarlet minivet, Pericrocotus flammeus (protonym, Muscicapa flammea), also known as the flame minivet, orange minivet, or the Indian minivet, photographed at Hong Kong, a special administrative region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China.
Image: Marie Louise Ng, 19 May 2011 [velociraptorize].
Question: This common and widespread mystery bird is the smallest in a group whose common name implies they are closely related to two distinct groups of birds, even though there is no evidence to show they are closely related to either of these avian groups. Can you name this bird's taxonomic family and, if you're really good, can you name this species?
Response: This is a Scarlet minivet, Pericrocotus flammeus, a small slender passerine that is placed in the cuckoo-shrike family, Campephagidae. The cuckoo-shrikes are closely related to neither the cuckoos nor the shrikes. They are known as caterpillar-birds in some parts of their range, and may actually be most closely related to the Old World orioles, Oriolidae. Among the mostly drably-coloured cuckoo-shrikes, the minivets stand out because of their brilliant plumage: many species have bright red or yellow markings. There are about 13 minivet species, although this number could change because their taxonomy is being reworked. The high variability and the presence of a number of disjunct populations has caused scientists to recently elevate some subspecies to full species status.
Like the cuckoo-shrikes, minivets are insectivorous, often perching in treetops and quickly swooping out to catch flying insects, a behaviour known as "hawking". They also glean for insects and participate in small mixed-species feeding flocks in the forest canopy. Minivets are mainly found in dense forests, often in hill country throughout southern and eastern Asia and on nearby islands.
You are invited to review all of the daily mystery birds by going to their dedicated graphic index page.
If you have bird images, video or mp3 files that you'd like to share with a large and (mostly) appreciative international audience here at The Guardian, feel free to contact me to learn more.

Highwayman is the first studio album released by country supergroup The Highwaymen, comprising Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Highwayman, released through Columbia Records in 1985, was the group's first and most successful album.
Highwayman, consisting of ten tracks, was released as a follow-up to the successful single of the same name and the title track of the album itself. "Highwayman", a Jimmy Webb cover, hit the top of the country charts and was followed up by the Top 20 hit "Desperados Waiting for a Train", whose original version was released by Guy Clark. The album was entirely produced by Chips Moman.
The group wasn't named "The Highwaymen" from the beginning. On their first two albums, they are credited as "Nelson, Jennings, Cash, Kristofferson". The official name which came to be widely recognized began to be used only in later years, and their last collaborative effort, The Road Goes on Forever, was already credited to "The Highwaymen".

Song overview[edit]
"The Last Cowboy Song"[edit]
The second track on the album is, like the other nine, a cover, this time of Ed Bruce's earlier collaboration with Ronald Peterson, which hit No. 12 on the charts in 1980. Bruce had also written "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", which became a hit for Nelson and Waylon Jennings. The duo had previously covered "The Last Cowboy Song" on their album WWII (1982).
"The Last Cowboy Song" discusses the disappearance of the American Old West and the values associated with it. All four performers can be heard on the song (Jennings, Kristofferson, Nelson and Cash respectively), though Cash's verse is spoken word. The chorus appears at the beginning of the song, after the second verse and after the third, overlapping with Cash's verse and continuing until the end of the song.
The chorus, performed by all four singers, is an expression of the longing for the old way of life and the loss of the traditional West: "This is the last cowboy song / The end of a hundred-year waltz / The voices sound sad as they're singing along / Another piece of America's lost". The song mentions some classic American tales, including that of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Wyatt Earp, William B. Travis, George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry, Louis L'Amour and the Chisholm Trail, among others, as examples of the diminishing value and vanishing of the West in today's reality. The lyrics also feature an anonymous cowboy who represents said values.
Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[2]
"Jim, I Wore a Tie Today"[edit]
The third song on Highwayman, written by Cindy Walker and previously covered by Eddy Arnold, Jimmy Dean and Tex Ritter, among others, is one of the four on the album where only two of the group's members – Cash and Nelson – make an appearance.
It is a rather slow song whose main subject is a deceased man named Jim, a friend of the narrator or narrators. The characters Nelson and Cash portray reminisce on the adventures and experiences they had with their late friend, including "pannin' for gold on the cuff". The second part of the song is composed of the two characters speaking on how Jim died, also explaining the title of the track: "We did everything we could do for you, Jim / But your fever just wouldn't go down / So we put you in a wagon, Jim / and this mornin' we got you back to town / But when we got here, you were gone, Jim / and there wasn't anything anybody could do / They dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck tie / So today, we wore one for you". An integral part of the song's chorus is Cash's character requesting, "Jim, Jim, so you're ridin' on ahead / Well if that's how it's going to be / When you reach those streets paved with gold / Jim, stake a claim out for me".
Cash himself recorded a solo version of "Jim, I Wore a Tie Today"; this was released on Personal File (2006), a posthumous collection of compositions recorded privately by the singer between 1973 and 1982.
"Big River"[edit]
"Big River" is the first song on the album that is a cover of one of the Highwaymen's previously recorded tracks. More specifically, it is a new rendition of Cash's version of the song, initially released as a single on Sun Records and later featured on the compilation album, Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous, in 1958 (Cash also rerecorded the song for Columbia Records for the 1964 album, I Walk the Line). The Highwaymen's version is more up-tempo and includes an additional verse which did not make the cut in the original and is sung by Jennings.
The song details the attempts of a man to keep up with a woman he is in love with and who keeps intentionally or unintentionally evading him, travelling more or less along what is probably the Mississippi River. The first, most well-known verse, is sung by all four performers – Nelson, Kristofferson, Jennings and Cash, respectively: "I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry / And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky / And the tears I cried for that woman / are gonna flood you, Big River / And I'm gonna sit right here until I die". The man "met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota" and has been pursuing her ever since, following her downstream to Davenport, Iowa, then to St. Louis, Missouri, where he finds out from a freighter that "she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone". Continuing on to Memphis, Tennessee, the man begins to tire of his constant pursuit and, in the verse that is omitted from the original, reveals that his desperation brought him to tears by the time he reached Natchez, Mississippi. Travelling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and finally New Orleans proves too great a challenge for him and he gives up his pursuit, stating "Go on, I've had enough / Dump my blues down in the gulf / She loves you, Big River, more than me".
"Committed to Parkview"[edit]
The fifth song on Highwayman is another track which does not include the voices of Kristofferson or Jennings; Cash and Nelson take turns singing individual parts of the verses. The song itself is the second and final Johnny Cash cover on the album, the original being released on One Piece at a Time in 1976.
"Committed to Parkview" deals with the subject of insanity and mental institutions. The action takes place in a hospital called Parkview (most likely referring to the Psychiatric wing at the first Hospital Corporation of America facility, Park View Hospital in Nashville, TN, where Cash lived) where the anonymous narrator comments on his surrounding with many references to the Nashville music scene and city. The first verse, sung by Cash, begins by mentioning two individuals present in Parkview: a man who "sits staring at the floor", thinking he's Hank Williams and singing the latter's songs, and "a girl in 203" who laments about her failed attempts to become a star and the multitude of songs she has written that she considers excellent. The narrator continues, singing "There are lots of special people / Staying in or passing through / And for one thing or another / Committed to Parkview". Notably, each verse ends with the three words that comprise the title of the song. The second verse, sung entirely by Nelson, starts with a description of a girl in 307, coming down on Thorazine as well as a "superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick Benzedrine". The boy whose room is below the narrator's is the son of a celebrity; since his father is never with him, his mother had to bring him to Parkview. A "bum from down on broadway" ( Lower Broadway, the former slum part of pre gentrified downtown Nashville ) and several formerly well-to-do patients who have "withdrawn from the rat race", are also mentioned. The third verse is sung by both performers, and describes a woman whose persistent crying is "loud enough to wake the dead" and a failed writer and singer "who has tried and tried and tried" and was brought to Parkview after a suicide attempt. The final verse, again sung by both Cash and Nelson, describes the patients' daily routine: waking up around 6:30 a.m., taking blood pressure and injections which follow the narrator's vigorous claims that "there ain't nothin' wrong with me". The song ends on a semi-positive note, with the narrator concluding that, in the end, "they're taking good care of [him]". This song is in many ways a tale of heartbreak in the Nashville Music scene.
The song was later covered by Porter Wagoner on his final album, Wagonmaster.
"Desperados Waiting for a Train"[edit]
The longest song on the album, "Desperados Waiting for a Train," contains the topic of the relationship between two generations, represented by a young man and an older man, revealed to be seventy at the beginning of the song. It was designed as a slow song with a chorus that consists entirely of the title. The original idea for the song is thought to be semi-autobiographical, with Clark having mentioned that the song is about "[his] grandmother's boyfriend."
The song begins with Kristofferson singing about the two men's long-lasting friendship. While the narrator "played the 'Red River Valley'," the old man sits in the kitchen crying, contemplating his past and current situation as well as the purpose of all his past efforts. He is likely pondering the inevitability of his death, as he has nothing else to give anyone. The older man was "a wanderer, a drifter and a driller of oil wells;" the narrator calls him "an old-school man of the world." The younger man also benefited from his experience, having taught him how to drive a car "when he was too drunk to," taking him to a bar, the fictional Green Frog Cafe, where the narrator observed men who spent their time "lying about their lives, drinking beer and playing dominoes." During the last few years of the old man's life, "pushin' eighty," and "dressed up like them old men, playing Moon and Forty-Two" (domino games). The day before the old man's death, they met once more. The narrator was already an adult, the old man was "almost gone;" they "closed [their] eyes and dreamed [them] up a kitchen/and sang another verse to that old song..." The last line before the final chorus is possibly the only time the old man utters, saying only "Come on Jack, that son-of-a-gun's a-comin'..." The line possibly signifies approaching death and may also reveal the name of the narrator, but is not known.
"Desperados Waiting for a Train" was a minor Top 20 hit on the country charts; no music video was filmed for it.
It was originally recorded by Guy Clark and has also been covered by Jerry Jeff Walker and David Allan Coe.
"Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)"[edit]
Unlike many of the other songs on Highwayman, "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" is a cover of a relatively well-known song, originally written by Woody Guthrie and set to music by Martin Hoffman, a schoolteacher. It is a protest song telling the story of a plane crash that occurred on January 29, 1948, during the deportation of a group of Mexican farm workers from California back to their country of birth.
The song covers the racist mistreatment of the passengers both before and after the plane crash and stresses that the deceased were not "just deportees", as the radio reported, but human beings. The song is mainly performed by Cash and Nelson, Johnny Rodriguez sings the second verse and joins in on part of the chorus: "Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita / Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria / You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane / All they will call you will be "deportee"". The anonymous narrator's or narrators' ancestors had tried to cross the border between Mexico and United States in the past; most met their demise attempting to do so. The song's message, which strongly criticizes discrimination, is most apparent in the final verse before the last chorus: "The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon / A fireball of thunder, it shook all the hills / Who are all of these dear friends, scattered like dry leaves? / The radio said they were just deportees".
"Welfare Line"[edit]
The eighth track on the album is written by Paul Kennerley, a country musician himself who was then the husband of Emmylou Harris. "Welfare Line", at 2 minutes 34 seconds, is the shortest track on Highwayman, but all four Highwaymen perform on it (Kristofferson sings on the chorus, but does not have a verse). The story is told from the perspective of three different individuals, whose tales are interspersed with the chorus: "So pass around the bottle boys, let's talk about old times / Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin / Here on the welfare line".
Quite clearly, the song's main subjects are people who have had unique adventures of their own, but all of them ended up on the welfare line. The first man, whose story is told through Nelson's voice, has "been to Bethlehem", where he rode on a steam train and worked in a steel mill, losing two fingers. He served with a gang of road workers in Georgia and ended up having massive debts. The second, portrayed by Cash, was a soldier fighting in an international conflict, possibly World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War. He was recognized in the military ("They pinned a ribbon to my chest"), yet he shares the same fate as the other two characters. It is also known that his late lover or wife was named Rachel. Jennings' character is the most mysterious one; in his verse, he only comments on the possession of money, singing "Now some folks are born to money / You know I wish 'em well / If the devil should ever want my soul / I swear I'd never sell".
"Against the Wind"[edit]
"Against the Wind" is a song about the effect time has on people's ambitions, aims and actions. A well-known song, it was originally written and performed by Bob Seger and released on Seger's 1980 album of the same name, which was also his first and only No. 1 release.
According to Rolling Stone's Timothy White, "Against the Wind is about trying to move ahead, keeping your sanity and integrity at the same time". The lyrics cover the wild and exciting life of the young, full of passion, love and vigor, "like a wildfire out of control", contrasting it with the life of older, more experienced individuals. In the first verse, it becomes apparent that a girl the narrator was supposedly in love with most probably betrayed him after assuring him of her devotion to their relationship, which possibly contributed to the narrator gaining experience in life. The chorus following the first verse expresses the typical attempts of young people to "run against the wind": "Against the wind / We were runnin' against the wind / We were young and strong but just runnin' against the wind". The second verse, sung by Nelson, shows how the character's approach changed over the years, as he realized he was "surrounded by strangers [he] thought were [his] friends". After "breakin' all the rules [he] could bend", he "found [himself] seeking shelter against the wind", a play on words. Johnny Cash gets the last line in the song, stating, (his) drifters days are past him now, he's got so much more to think about, what to leave in, what to leave out.
"The Twentieth Century is Almost Over"[edit]
The closing song, as the title suggests, refers to the year in which Highwayman was recorded and released, although it was written earlier by Steve Goodman and John Prine and ended up being covered by Cash individually.
"The Twentieth Century is Almost Over" begins with Nelson mentioning that, decades ago, in 1899, "everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne"". Cash's verse, which follows the chorus, recalls major events like the Great Depression and World War II, as well as some inventions which gained popularity in the 20th century: linoleum floors, petroleum jelly and revolving doors. The last verse, sung by both Nelson and Cash, includes references to Father Time, the mythical personification of time, and to the Judgment Day, finishing off the album on a distinctive note.
"The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over" had previously been covered by Cash and released on 1980s Rockabilly Blues.

I. Consider in-depth various issues involved in the application and administration of the death penalty;
II. Gather and analyze information on the Web in order to come to a greater understanding of the complexities involved in this issue;
III. Develop a position on either side of the argument for or against the death penalty, which the student must defend.
Post the following statement and question on the board, overhead or on paper for the students.
The death penalty is a very emotional issue for Americans. You probably already have your own opinions on the topic. It is important to consider both sides as we explore this issue.
Create a chart on your paper with headings for and against the death penalty. Using short phrases or sentences, list several (at least three) arguments on BOTH sides of your chart. Your chart should look something like this:
|Arguments in favor of the Death Penalty
|Arguments Against the Death Penalty
|1) It may prevent serious crimes
|1) It does not prevent serious crimes
After students have listed their arguments, allow students to share their views as the class fills in a chart on the board or overhead together. Instruct students to add arguments to their own chart as they are posted. To close the discussion, have students place a check mark next to the arguments they agree with.
After the lesson is completed, it may be interesting to review the chart again and ask students if they want to change any of their check marks to indicate a shift in opinion on the death penalty.
V. View the CD-ROM FIRST PERSON: MUMIA ABU-JAMAL--Live from Death Row (Voyager Media) and have students discuss whether his case merits a new trial. The case is a good introduction to the various sociocultural factors which impact the issue of the death penalty in the U.S. Students can also gather complementary information on this case by researching newspaper archives.
Information for the Teacher
Tell the students that they are going to engage in a simulation where lawyers present their viewpoints before the Supreme Court. Inform them that they will be developing positions on the death penalty that are based on research of pervious and current cases. These positions must be incorporated into a document called a "brief." A brief is a position paper that is submitted to the Supreme Court to assist the justices in arriving at a decision.
Students will be working in cooperative teams of four students per team. Each student must have a role to play. Students can share the roles during the duration of the activities, or they can decide on which role they want and stay with that role. It is up to the team.
The roles include but are not limited to the following:
VI. Spokesperson: Presents oral arguments before the court and the class.
VII. Mouse commander: clicks on Web sites and keys in Web addresses.
VIII. Word processor: typist on the keyboard when developing the position paper.
IX. Information manager: Reads information from computer screen or textbook to the group. This person also feeds typist information when researching and developing the position.
X. Question Manager: deals with technical and research problems before they go to the teacher. This person also provides moral support and settles interpersonal conflicts between team members.
Assigning Positions Teams of four students each will result in a total of six or seven teams depending on class size. The teacher should assign each group a position, either for or against the death penalty. The teacher can have teams pull slips of paper with "for" or "against" marked on them, or the teacher can allow students to choose their positions. Either way, three teams (or four) must end up taking the "in favor" side, and three teams (or four) must end up with the "oppose" position.
Putting the Activity On Line
If the teacher has access to a Web server, develop a Web site where the students' legal briefs can be posted. Use Microsoft Word or Word Perfect to save the students' briefs as hypertext documents. Include a page where Web visitors can submit their votes and opinions by e-mail and maintain an informal poll on the issue.
Take another quick poll and see if positions have changed. Ask those who've changed their position why.
I. The Views of Youth: An Informal Poll
Direct the students to carry out an informal poll with these directions.
The attitude toward the death penalty throughout its history vacillates and continues to be polarized. Different cultures and countries hold varied views and have taken different judicial stands on the issue. Take a quick poll of all of your fellow students whether it is ever justified to sanction a criminal act with the death penalty. Have someone note the results. Continue keeping track of the results over all classes doing the research. Allow students to poll students outside of class if the activity continues over a series of class periods.
Developing Written Briefs for the Supreme Court
Once students have completed the investigation of the Web sites listed above, allow them to have time to coordinate their facts within their groups. Once each student has identical facts, have the students write on the computer a brief that represents the opinion of the group. Each group might want to take on the name of an organization such as "Coalition Against Legalized Murder" (CALM).
Students should develop their own paragraphs based on their findings. They can place their rough drafts on index cards, which can be moved around an organized before placing them on the computer. Even after the rough draft has been placed on computer disk, it can still be revised and edited to create a coherent legal brief.
Have each group present their brief to the class. One team favoring the death penalty will start, followed by a group against the death penalty. Subsequent groups should follow in like fashion.
Have the non-presenting groups act as the Supreme Court by asking up to five questions per group. Each group gets ten minutes to present before questions are asked.

Range Hood Venting Considerations
We purchased a new Microwave/Range hood combo to replace an existing old range hood. In order to have the proper clearance over the stove, we cut out the height difference from the old cupboard and installed the microwave there...
Due to that though, the existing exhaust vent is now 6" lower than where the microwave's vent is...
Can we have the duct come from the microwave, then turn downwards, and then go straight out? Or may I vent it straight out only?
(Moving the outside vent up to be inline with the range hood involves cutting the brick exteriror for the new hole and replacing the brick where the vent currently is)I'm not a mason so this seems daunting to me...
I temporarily blocked off the vent and am using the circulation mode that the range hood has although I do not want to stay on circulation mode forever as it just retains all the humidity in the kitchen. This was only a temporary measure until I figure out how to vent it properly.

Oscar Grant Family Press Conference After Mehserle Hearing in Los Angeles, 1/8/10: photos
After the first hearing of Johannes Mehserle's trial for the murder of Oscar Grant III in Los Angeles, family members and their private attorney gathered for a short press conference in front of cameras and microphones assembled earlier in the morning for the LA Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant press conference.
Pictured above is family attorney John Burris, who is pursuing a $50 million civil action against BART and officers on the Fruitvale platform when Oscar Grant was murdered on New Year's Day 2009. In BART's last official statement on the civil suit, BART blamed Oscar Grant for having been shot in the back by Johannes Mehserle.
BART's PR machine plays both sides, good cop and bad cop, as it defends itself from the ire of community activists and the three civil suits filed to date. On the one hand, BART firmly attacks anyone who dares challenge them, even making petty moves such as denying the family a sound system and stage for the January 1st one-year anniversary vigil at Fruitvale BART; and, on the other hand, giving press conferences intended to feign community support it does not have or giving the family flowers on the same stage for which BART refused to pay. BART is also unafraid to lie to the public when it supports the false story that they are committed to real reform.
In short, BART has done nothing when it comes to real substantive actions such as holding any officers or their supervisors accountable for the abuse of Oscar Grant and his friends on January 1st, 2009, and the ensuing cover-up attempts, instead preferring to make symbolic gestures of sympathy or action in front of the cameras.

I have to use my own linearization as I am working with non-standard thermocouples. I have not found a method with UL to retrieve the temperature of the CJC sensor. I am shorting one channel to get the temperature of the connector block, which works fine, but is of Course not as precise as using the direct CJC sensor temperature value. Also I am loosing one channel.
Your advice is very welcome.
I was wondering if I could write a code to convert the analog voltage input to current?I want to use this data logger to monitor the DC current of our biosensor.

Windows compiler support is not thrilling mostly. The Linux compilers have been excellent in my experience, so it would be great to access the Universal Library on Windows OS's using the MinGW software. Yes, the MS C code is good, but I need to use Fortran in a large way, and the Linux world makes that very easy. I suspect this would be true for MinGW. I could contact Warren Jasper, the Linux driver writer on this as well.
I was looking at some of the sample code in the Universal Library and noticed that all of them have a timer in a loop pulling the hardware for the data.
Is there a way to connect to the hardware and listen to events (like when a port goes high?) then I can react to it? Instead of the loop an pull method?
Maybe there is,and I missed it, but I'm looking for that in the 1024LS before I buy.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
How long does it run normally?
Not quite sure what you are asking...normal cycle is it starts runs a few minutes, stops and starts a few times and them runs continually until cycle is complete...I assume the initial start and stop is a pre-soak step. It has run fine since we bought it, this is the first problem we've had. The unit is over 2 years old but I believe less than 3.
I thought you said it kicks in hums and does not run?
If the pump runs, what is your question?
Perhaps I did not express myself well. When you turn the unit on water starts going to the unit however motor does not start right away which is the normal delay. After a few minutes, when the unit was working the motor would start and washing cycle began, now instead of running it starts humming but does not run.
...don't know if this is important but you can hit the "Cancel Drain" button and it will empty the dishwasher
There are seperate motors
Did you actually take apart the filter and check the pump, or did you just shine a light down in the middle
I did not take anything apart, I was intending on doing that but felt some direction would be in order and I'm not sure how to remove things to get down inside.
oh ok .... well best case scenario something is wedged in the pump
Worst case you have a bad pump
get you a T15 and a T20 torx screw driver handy and a pair of needle nose pliers and let's dive in
Can you give me step by step that I can follow tomorrow morning as I cannot get into it at this time. I was hoping for instructions and possibly a detail drawing (something from a service manual)
Best I can do is a parts drawing
I can't really do a perfect step by step from memory, I will do the best I can
You unscrew counter clockwise the spray arm, then remove the 3 screws you can see
Then you rotate the piece hooked to the back spray tower
And you can then remove it and remove the other (4th) screw you cannot see
Then you lift out the filter system
Once you remove this some models have 2 screws left down in there, some have just 1 but either 1 screw holding a plastic panel and 1 holding the pump cover, or just 1 holding the pump cover
Use the needle nose pliers to remove the pump cover and your looking at the pump impeller
You can see if anything is wedged in there
Just reverse to put back toegther. Thanks!
When you click accept it will email you a copy of this chat and a link to return, if you need any more clarification once you return here I can help you .... however this is pretty much step by steop
Please remember to leave feedback after clicking accept and have a great rest of the day.
Can you please send me parts drawing?

Site Matches Donors with People in Detroit Unable to Pay Their Water Bills
Turn On Detroit's Water is helping the city's residents get their water back on by asking the web for donations
As more and more people find themselves unable to procure employment, the more whole families are losing electricity, heat and, most importantly, clean water. From there, most will end up homeless, desperate to enter packed shelters. Few cities in the United States were hit as hard as Detroit, which has higher than average unemployment rates and foreclosures.
Turn On Detroit's Water allows people to help pay for the water bill of a family in need. The project was developed when a bankruptcy judge ordered the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department to find a solution for the thousands of residents who could not pay their overdue water bills.
The way the website works is fairly simple. Detroit account holders who owe $250 or less to the Detroit Water and Sewage Department can enter their information, including their address, account number, past and current charges, and total account balance, all of which is verified through the Detroit Water and Sewage Department website. On the other end, a donor inputs their email into the system and receives the account holder's information (though not their name) so the bill can be paid. Donors can also specify a specific amount they would like to donate if they cannot pay for one entire bill, or would like to donate one large lump sum. Not corporate accounts are allowed, so all the money will go to help individual families in need.
The site was put together by Tiffani Ashley Bell and Kristy Tillman who were looking for a way to help delinquent account holders get their water turned back on. They first began finding families in need and donors who could help them, and, at the time of writing, 2300 donors ready to give to Detroit residents, with a confirmed $15,000 in payments made directly to the DWSD, and will continue the website so long as there is a need.
While the goal was a citizen-to-citizen solution to this problem, Tillman tells PSFK that they would possibly like to be a part of a more permanent answer:
This is a very lean, in the now campaign and we are very pointed in helping relieve the burden of being behind on such an essential service as water for Detroit residents. But I'd say we'd like to eventually get involved in tackling more structural issues that has lead us to the point. The situation is complicated and we are fully aware that just paying the bills isn't the end of the problem.

Demonwomb will please metal/hardcore fans, but might not be able to bring in any new ones.
The legendary Long Island band is back with a new record.
Vision of Disorder have released a new video for their song 'Set To Fail' from the new album 'The Cursed Remain Cursed'.
Lightbringer blasts its way through the first couple of tracks only too crush you afterward with slower but perhaps even more heavy songs.
For most people Logn seems to be a strange word, for people in Iceland it's just the meaning for calm weather. Musically Logn is far from peaceful weather.
Thanks for the support in 2011 people. Before we're entering 2012 we would like to look back a final time. Time for the infamous yearlists.

You have extra hard boiled eggs about now, I can tell.
Helen Jane's Deviled Egg Recipe
6 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 slices bacon
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Cut the 4 slices of bacon into tiny, bacon bit sized pieces and brown in a pan. When cooked through and crispy, drain on paper towels. Taste three bacon bits because you deserve it.
Peel hard boiled eggs and slice them the long way, narrow top to bottom.
Pop the yellow yolks into a medium bowl and mash firmly until the consistency of damp yellow sulphury sand. Add mayonnaise, mustard and salt and stir through.
Also to your bowl, add 3/4 of your bacon bits and 3/4 of your minced parsley. Stir through.
Put mixture into a large plastic bag and snip off a corner, piping the mixture back into the empty holes of the hard boiled egg where the yolks used to be.
Sprinkle the tops with parsley and a few bacon bits. Serve amongst friends in a cool, airy brunch situation. We don't want to end up in in a pickle like Pamie did earlier this year.

Solis dropped Batawang in round four and after a one sided round five, Batawang didn't come out for round six.
WBA mini-flyweight world champion Giovani Segura (30-1-1, 20 KOs) moved up to flyweight with a fourth round TKO over WBA #5 ranked Ronald Ramos (28-8-3, 14 KOs). Segura dropped Ramos in round four and punished him for the duration of the round. Ramos didn't come out for the next round. Segura's world title was not at stake.

Rider 9, Iona 2

College Baseball
Rider University 9, Iona College 2
LAWRENCEVILLE—The Broncs defeated Iona in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game Monday to sweep the three-game series. It was the third MAAC series the Broncs (33-17, 17-4 MAAC) have swept this year. "It was a good win," said Rider head coach Barry Davis.
The victory was the 33rd of the season, tying the Rider record for regular season wins. "That's nice to have," Davis said. "It was two years ago (2011) when we set that record and hopefully this team will finish stronger than that team did."
The 2011 team finished 33-18 after going 0-2 in the MAAC tournament. The overall record for wins in a season at Rider is 36 set in 2010 by the MAAC Champions.
Sophomore Kurt Sowa (Bensalem, PA/Fr. Judge) pitched seven innings for the win. "He's been consistent all year," Davis said. "Today we scored some runs for him."
"My off-speed stuff was working for me today," said Sowa (10-1), who ties the Rider record for wins in a season with 10, which currently ranks among the national leaders.
Only three Rider pitchers had ever won a program-record 10 games in a season before Sowa. The last to do it was All-American Jack Armstrong in 1985 (10-2). "I know he played here and in the major leagues," Sowa said when he heard Armstrong's name. "I think he was an all-star, so it means a lot to me to be in the same category as him."
Armstrong's 10th win was in the NCAA Tournament and he went on to start the 1990 MLB all-star game as a rookie for the World Champion Cincinnati Reds.
Sowa struck out eight batters, including the side in the fourth. Sowa held Iona to just two hits. Sowa is holding opponents to a .181 batting average on the season. Sowa ranks 35th in the nation in fewest hits allowed per nine innings.
Senior Ian Lindsay (Oaklyn/Haddon Twp.) hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning to give Rider a 7-1 lead and had three RBI on the day. "He's always had a little pop in his bat," Davis said of his senior leftfielder. The home run was the third of the season for Lindsay and the sixth of his career.
Lindsay had seven hits and six RBI in the three-game series. "He's been putting pretty good swings on the ball lately," Davis said.
Sophomore Eric Strano (Robbinsville) had three of Rider's seven hits. "I think two of those hits were on hit-and-runs," Davis said.
Senior Adam Wayman (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial) walked and has now reached base 16 straight games, his second such 16-game streak of the season.
Sophomore Mike Parsons (Liverpool, NY) scored three runs.
Rider took a 5-1 lead in the second inning with five runs on three hits, an error and a sacrifice fly.
Iona (7-41, 2-19) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, the third time in the series Iona scored in the first inning.
Rider hosts La Salle Tuesday (3pm) in the final home game and the final non-conference game of the regular season. "Our focus right now is to get that 34th win tomorrow against a good A-10 team in La Salle," Davis said. "That will be a good test for us."
The Broncs travel to second place Marist for the final conference series May 18-19.
Rider needs to win just one game of the three-game series to clinch it's first-ever MAAC regular season title. "We'd still like to win the series and keep the momentum going," Sowa said.

This site always has been and will remain free. For users that desire certain additional features, we offer a VIP account for a small fee. This is not required to use the site and you're in no way obligated to sign up for it.
To remove the branding bar on the bottom of the banner you have to sign up for a VIP Membership.
When you save a banner it is uploaded to ImageShack where anybody with the URL can see it. Without the URL, though, they wouldn't be able to find it. Since both us and ImageShack add random characters to the text, it is very difficult for anybody to find any images without the url.
However, when you save a banner it is posted up as a "Recently Saved Banner" on that page that allows other people to get an idea of what they can do to their banner. The page is really more for fun than anything. If you don't want your banner to show up here, though, you can sign up as a VIP and make your banners private with the click of a button.
Right now accounts are only available to VIP members that pay for the additional features. If you'd like to take advantage of some of the features available to VIP members, you have to sign up and pay the fee.
The most common cause of a banner preview disappearing is advertisement blocking software being present on the computer. Norton, McAfee, and AdBlock are all known to block our banner preview by default. Disable them or add 'mybannermaker.com' to your safe/white list.
If the banner is inappropriate for children, you must sign up for a VIP account and mark your banners as private. Not only does this remove our branding so we are not associated with such content, but it prevents your banner from being shown on the "Recently Saved Banners" page which keeps it away from minors.
You get banned as soon as we get the email...simple as that. We have a zero tolerance policy for people abusing the website and do what is necessary to prevent it from happening.
To reset your settings for any reason, first try to click on the 'Reset Settings' button just above the banner preview on the banner maker page. If the page takes a really long time to load, there is something preventing MyBannerMaker from deleting those cookies and you will need to delete them manually. IE users can do this under Internet Options, and Firefox users can do it in the Privacy pane/tab of the Options/Preferences dialog. After deleting your settings, click on the 'Banner Maker' link in the top menu and the preview should be reset to the default.
As noted on the upload box, you can upload JPEG, PNG, GIF and some BMP images.
Every now and then a camera or piece of software will output something non-standard when they create a file. They might just set a 'switch' wrong in the file that identifies it as the wrong type, or they don't put the data in the right order. Some software can automatically detect and work around that, but others can't. Because of the security-minded nature of our software, however, ours can't do that. That means some images won't work, even if they appear to be an accepted format.
If you have standard image editing software on your computer, like Photoshop, you can open and re-save the image you want to upload and that should set everything right in the file to allow it to work with the banner maker.
Windows: For most image formats you can open the file in Microsoft Paint and go to File > Save As... and choose JPEG or PNG from the dropdown File Type menu.
Mac OS X: You can open your file in iPhoto and export it as a JPEG or PNG.
Linux: Depends on your flavor. Gimp works on most GUIs and will let you convert most image formats to JPEG or PNG without an issue.
When you upload an image, the banner maker displays it at 700px wide so that regardless of the size of your image, you can see it on your screen to crop it. If you upload a small image, after you crop the image it'll be stretched out to fit the entire banner the way you specified in the crop, and that might look bad.
We do have plans for allowing you to upload multiple images and to use them as elements in the banner as opposed to just backgrounds. When that happens, you can upload small images and not crop or resize them at all if you don't want to.
The way the banner maker handles images, is by resizing them so that they cover the banner completely, and cropping off anything additional. Because overflowing image is cropped, instead of squished, it is likely that your image will not exactly fit the banner. The only alternative using the same image size and banner size, would be to stretch your image to fit the banner without concern for the ration of the width to the height, introducing distortion.
For example, if you upload an image that is 500x500 onto the banner that is 250x250, you can fit the entire image on the banner, but you will still be given the option to crop it. If you upload the same image onto a banner that is 500x200, you will have to crop off 300 pixels off the top and bottom, at the least (more if you do not use the entire width of the image on your banner).
In order to have your image show on your banner completely, you need to make sure that the image is the same aspect ratio as your banner. VIP members can use custom sized banners to assist in this.
Because people often upload files that are excessively large or very small, we standardize the size of all images on the crop page to 700px wide. This means if you upload an image that is 468x60 to fit perfectly on a Full Horizontal Banner it will display at 700x102 on the crop page. You will need to then drag the crop handles out to the very corners of the image before hitting crop, and then your banner will appear with your background image appropriately sized at 468x60.
Most of the text on the banner is customizable as part of the banner. Click on the text tab and you'll see a series of controls allowing you to change the text to suit your needs. To remove the branding on the bottom of the banner you will need to sign up to become a VIP.

A rotating banner is simply 2 or more banners setup to switch after a certain period of time, thereby creating an animation or rotated banner. In other words, a rotating banner allows you to create multiple individual banners and put them together as one banner that flips between all of the individual banners.
Using a rotating banner you can do things like change the text on the banner, slide text across the banner, change colors gradually or back and forth, change the background gradient back and forth or gradually, make your text rotate around in a full circle, make your border grow and shrink, or change the background image while keeping the same text and colors. It's really just a matter of being creative.
It could be a few different things. First off, it only works with the Normal type banner. That means header, masthead, and forum banners don't support it. Second, Myspace only allows text boxes in certain places. It works in profiles, but doesn't work in comments or bulletins. It might work in various other places around the site, such as forums, but it's untested and I can't say whether it will work or not.
To delete or remove your banner from any HTML page simply delete the code for the banner. You do not need to delete the actual image/banner. It will be retained by ImageShack indefinitely. This is the only way to remove a banner from a page. We do not have access to the page you put the banner on and we cannot delete it for you. We do not have access to the image when it is hosted at ImageShack and we do not have access to your website or webpage to access the code.
Banners above the Myspace menu and ads are called header banners. To make one, select the Header Banner option on the save tab of the banner maker. Note: Because of the way MySpace handles profiles using their newer 'Profile 2.0' option, header banners cannot be displayed on Profile 2.0 profiles.
This is called a masthead banner. You simply select the Masthead Banner option on the save tab of the banner maker.
Yes. Go to the Save Tab on the banner maker and change the link from http://mybannermaker.com/ to whatever you would like.
Check the box on the Save tab. NOTE: The code box won't show up in bulletins, comments on your friends' profiles or photos. This is because of Myspace.
There are a variety of different places for banners to go. Depending on where you want your banner, it will have different code. In order to distinguish which code you were looking for, we gave them each a 'type'. The following is a breakdown of the different banner types:
This only occurs for non-standard profiles, such as Musician, Filmmaker, and Comedian profiles when you preview the code for a header, masthead, or extended network banner before saving it. To save code without previewing it, you need to edit your profile in "safe mode".
Unfortunately, there's not a feasible way to make extended network banners link that is also compatible with a variety of profiles. If you need your banner to link, create a Masthead or Header banner instead. Of course, there is also the Normal banner as well.
You can make your banner link to your profile or website by putting the URL/address to the profile or website in the relevant box under the save tab. Note that you cannot link a banner that you choose Download on since the code is what makes a banner link, and extended network banners for Myspace profiles cannot be linked.
We would love to, but we're really not sure what to add that doesn't use animation. If you have any ideas for effects we could integrate into the banner maker easily that don't use animation feel free to get in touch and let us know!
You can also sign up as a VIP member and create several banners and string them together in a rotating banner to create your own animation. You can do things like change the text on the banner, slide text across the banner, change colors gradually or back and forth, change the background gradient back and forth or gradually, make your text rotate around in a full circle, make your border grow and shrink, or change the background image while keeping the same text and colors. It's really just a matter of being creative.
In order to do animation in GIF images every frame is a totally new photo and they're all just strung together. Every frame means that the file size is significantly larger than it would be otherwise. It also means it's one more frame for our servers to process to get you your banner.
Flash banners are a much easier and more efficient way to do animation. While we might provide a flash-banner service in the future, we don't have any plans for one at this time so we recommend you either grab a copy of Flash and design them yourself or find a good Flash designer for them.
If your image is larger than 728px on either side (custom size banners only) we disable animation effects for performance reasons. Because the images are so large in filesize, it's not feasible to animate them and still host them with ImageShack. You can still select non-animation effects or reduce the size of your banner so that both sides are smaller than 728px and still utilize the animation effects.
Sometimes the servers that host the images go down for maintenance, making it appear that your banner is missing, has been deleted, or is just gone. Usually they come back up within a few hours to a day. If one of your images is down for longer than this and you're wondering why, you can send us an email using our contact form. Make sure you send us the URL to the image or we won't be able to tell you anything and we probably won't even respond.
This is a complicated bug we've not yet been able to narrow down the cause of. It has to do with the way we use cookies and a database to maintain your user settings, and the variances in behavior from one user to the next. There is a lot of data to be passed between pages, and that contributes to the problem.
To resolve the issue, you can usually just go back to the banner maker and re-save your banner. If it doesn't work after trying that a couple times, you will probably need to resort to resetting your settings.
Safari and our color picker don't get along sometimes, and we've not yet been able to determine why since we can't replicate the problem on our machines. Part of the time Safari crashes when loading MyBannerMaker all together. That would be entirely the fault of the developers of Safari and WebKit, since it should be able to handle whatever it receives without crashing. I believe the two issues are connected. If you have any information on why this could be happening, feel free to share it and I'll put it to use.
The solution to the problem is simply to use a different browser. We recommend Firefox.
This applies to text, background, and border colors alike.
If this is still happening to you PLEASE let me know using the contact form. I believe this is fixed and unless there is evidence otherwise I won't be able to look into it further!

HollyFrontier profit doubles on higher margins
Aug 5 (Reuters) - U.S. refiner HollyFrontier Corp's quarterly profit more than doubled, helped by a rise in refining margins due to lower crude prices.
Net income attributable to the company's shareholders rose to $360.8 million, or $1.88 per share, in the second quarter ended June 30, from $176.4 million, or 89 cents per share, a year earlier.
Sales and other revenue declined about 31 percent to $3.70 billion. (Reporting by Amrutha Gayathri in Bengaluru; Editing by Don Sebastian)

This book provides a detailed general overview of the human factors and performance limitations associated with flying fast jets, integrating all the latest available research literature on the demanding operational tasks faced by such pilots and aircrews. As such, it has a strong military focus, dealing with pilots of fighter aircraft, attack aircraft and lead-in fighter trainer aircraft that are traditionally only single or dual pilot operations. The book deals not only with the issue of G force, but discusses ejection and escape/survival, disorientation, high altitude physiology, pilot training and selection, helmet-mounted equipment, situational awareness, data fusion and multi-sensor integration, human machine interface issues and advanced cockpit design. It examines the human performance issues associated with the technological advances made in fast jets, such as increased manoeuvrability, increased use of the pilot's head as a mounting platform for sensor and weapons systems, and the complexities involved in the human-machine interface within these aircraft.
'The big plus of the book is that it is written for everyone, independently of their field of expertise.' Newsletter of the Europe Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, no. 2, 2014 'Flying Fast Jets will be a valuable contribution to the knowledge of aviation medicine, and it will provide much of the foundational knowledge that will be useful in the clinical practice of aviation medicine as it relates to fast-jet aircrew.' Journal of the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine, no. 9, November 2014; 'As well as giving the general reader an insight into the world of high performance military aircraft, this book will be a useful handbook for those more actively involved in whatever capacity on a fast jet squadron.'

Sin City 2 Shooting This Summer?
Rodriguez set to go right after Machete
It's getting on for seven years since Robert Rodriguez's Sin City breathed green-screen life into Frank Miller's noir comic series. Since then there's been constant talk of a sequel and much in the way of development hell. But we finally seem closer than ever to Sin City 2 actually happening, with Rodriguez announcing at the SXSW festival that he plans to return to Miller World in the summer, right after shooting his Machete sequel, Machete Kills, in the spring.
"You work on a number of projects, and then everything eventually bottlenecks," says Rod. "You develop a number of films simultaneously, and then maybe one will go. This time it just happens that everything got announced at the same time. We'll probably be editing Machete while we shoot Sin City. It'll be summer and it'll be hot, so it'll be nice and cool inside with all the green screens."
He also confirmed what's already been widely reported: that the film will be based on A Dame To Kill For, and on two new Miller-penned stories that haven't as yet been published. "You won't find those in a book. Those will be surprises."
We know (or think we know) that one of those stories is called The Long Bad Night, but the third has yet to be revealed. Last we heard last summer, William Monahan (The Departed) was giving the screenplay an extra polish. There's no announced cast yet, but A Dame To Kill For once again involves Marv, which might indicate that talks are at least underway with Mickey Rourke. Rourke has previously sounded deeply ambivalent about returning to the make-up chair though. So that'll be interesting.
Of course, we've heard before that shooting was imminent, only for this to slip back down the schedule again. Could this be the time it finally goes before the cameras? Watch this space as summer approaches and we'll see...

Social media and the marketing mix for law firms
With 600 blog posts added to the web every minute; and around 30,000 Tweets happening every second, there's clearly a lot of information out there in the social media spheres. That information is now being used to direct new clients and customers to businesses of all kinds. The legal profession is no exception.
The social media sites use information provided by their members to develop exclusive networking opportunities – and I mean "exclusive" in the traditional, you only get to come in if your name is on the list, sense. All social media works on the same notion – that people engage in social networks by mutual agreement, and that people not mutually agreed to be included in those networks don't get access to the information shared among them.
So as a law firm your strategy is to get involved in the social networks that your associates use. In one sense you're one step of the game already, in that most legal business comes through professional referrals already. All you are really trying to do is to formalise that process online, where a lot of your professional compadres are already hanging out.
LinkedIn is a fine example of a useful marketing tool for any firm. LinkedIn is best thought of as Facebook for businesses and business people, where the social graph (that's the information used to direct advertising opportunities and recommendations in a social media site) is based on business types, job titles, and career paths. Law firms using LinkedIn can target business areas by developing a business social network with the right interests: car insurance companies, for example.
The basic social media marketing mix for law firms is as follows:
Your blog.
All of these elements are key to maintaining a useful social networking presence for your law firm. Each element has a different function:
Twitter is most useful for law firms researching potential business. Keep abreast of current news in your area of law, search for key terms in that news on Twitter, and you'll find trends that can lead you into whole groups of potential clients.
Facebook engages your ultimate end user – individual clients. By maintaining a Facebook presence you are simply playing a good numbers game – with more than three quarters of a billion people using Facebook every day, the more engaging and active your law firm is on the site, the more people will see who you are.
LinkedIn, as noted above, is the ideal professional networking site. Every new professional contact a law firm makes is potential new work. It's the numbers game again, but this time with fixed odds – even better.
A blog allows your law firm to develop an authoritative personality, and even to become a force for information and advice within your industry. Enterprising lawyers who have blogged regularly on their field of expertise find that they are regularly consulted on appropriate questions of law – perfect advertising for your company.

National Dog Day!
Today is a day to honor man's best friend… our dogs! Dogs are great pets: they support us, comfort us and love us unconditionally. Studies show that the average dog has the same intelligence as a 2 year old child. They can understand up to 250 words and motions.
Everyday when I come home from work, my dog, Kramer, meets me at the door. He then follows me to my bedroom and sits by my dresser, waiting for me to change into my running clothes to take him on a run. Then, once I'm ready to take him on a run, he does his stretches when I do mine. Watch to see for yourself.
So, If you have a dog, today is a great day to spend some extra time with them and remind them how much you care about them. If you don't have a dog of your own, visit a local animal shelter and play with the pups… you might find yourself wanting to give one of them a new home!
