text: Hi all, this issue is a little OT, but I'd like to know other admin experiences. Someone already asked this some time ago: http://www.supercluster.org/pipermail/torqueusers/2008-December/008373.html But I don't find the solution he implemented and if it worked or not. I've seen a couple of good ideas like the one from Brock Palen recommending a job that requests a complet node and special host (#PBS -l host=$host,naccesspolicy=SINGLEJOB) and the other from Garrick : "First, you need to drain the nodes by marking them offline. Then you need to mark them for reboot using the node note. Then a script can reboot nodes when it finds them offline, without a job, and marked for reboot." But is someone really doing reboot via torque? What are your steps when you need to reboot your farm? Any experience will be welcome! Cheers, Arnau

Extremists claim responsibility for Nigeria kidnappings
BAUCHI, Nigeria — A little-known Islamic extremist group claimed responsibility on Monday for the kidnapping of seven foreign workers from northern Nigeria, threatening their safety if anyone tries to intervene and free them.
The group that calls itself Ansaru issued a short statement, obtained by The Associated Press, in which it said its fighters kidnapped the foreigners on Saturday night from a construction company's camp at Jama'are, a town about 125 miles north of Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi state.
Authorities said those kidnapped include one British citizen, one Greek, one Italian, three Lebanese and one Filipino, all employees of a Lebanese construction company called Setraco.
The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, issued a statement saying Ansaru committed the abduction "based on the transgression and atrocities shown to the religion of Allah by the European countries in many places such as Afghanistan and Mali." The French military is conducting operations with the Malian army to rout Islamic fighters who took over that country's north in the weeks after a military coup there last year.
"It is stressed that any attempt or act contrary to our conditions by the European nations or by the Nigerian government will" endanger the hostages, the statement read. The statement offered no conditions, suggesting that the group would contact authorities to make a ransom demand.
Police and security officials in Nigeria did not immediately respond the statement.
Greek and Italian diplomats have confirmed their citizens were abducted. Britain's Foreign Office said on Monday that it is aware of reports that a number of foreign nationals, including a British national, were abducted. It said the Foreign Office is in contact with the Nigerian authorities.
In January 2012, Ansaru declared itself a breakaway group from Boko Haram, the north's main terrorist group, analysts say. Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege," has engaged in a guerrilla campaign of bombings and shootings across Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north.
Boko Haram is blamed for more than 790 killings last year, according to an AP count.
Ansaru's aims are not known, but they have a different message from Boko Haram, according to Raffaello Pantucci, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London.

Harry Fry has opted not to run Rock On Ruby in the Check Out The All New freebets.co.uk Novices' Chase but he can still lift the Doncaster prize courtesy of Karinga Dancer.
The eight-year-old was a fair performer over hurdles and while he took a while to warm to his task on his fencing bow at this track last month, he eventually ran out a decent winner.
The departure of market rival Woodbank at the third-last left Karinga Dancer in the driving seat that day, but he looked a likely victor despite that development and was improving with every fence he jumped.
While Karinga Dancer might not be as high-profile as his stablemate, he is more than capable of getting the job done here.
Diamond King will be out to make amends for a costly blunder last time out as he lines up in the Download The All New freebets.co.uk "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle.
Donald McCain's charge impressed with two bumper wins last term before making the best possible start to his hurdling career when winning at Wetherby in November.
Sent off a hot favourite next time at Bangor, he looked all over the winner before stepping at the last flight, losing all momentum and any chance of victory.
McCain is sure to have been brushing up on his hurdling at home and it would be no surprise to see Diamond King back on the winning track here.
Suffolk trainer John Ferguson is fond of running his horses at Doncaster, and appears to have unearthed the right race for Namibian.
The 2011 Queen's Vase and the Gordon Stakes winner made a rather inauspicious debut over hurdles at Huntingdon in December, when he finished eighth as the 2-1 favourite.
Namibian clearly needed that outing, however, as it was his first start since August, while the longer trip in the first division of the 1stsecuritysolutions.co.uk Maiden Hurdle should also be considered an asset.
It often takes at least one blow-out before Ferguson's ex-Flat recruits hit their stride. Expect Namibian to fit that category.
Byroness could rattle a few cages at a chunky price for the Winners Are Welcome At Betdaq Fillies' Handicap at Kempton.
The four-year-old filly is 1lb lower in the handicap than when she won over course and distance last February, with punters advised to look beyond her apparent no-show here in December.
Heather Main's representative was pinched for room two out out in a seven-furlong handicap and was eased once the cause was lost.
Before that she only succumbed to the useful Stormbound by a head over an extra furlong in November, for which she only went up a little in the weights.
Byroness knows this terrain very well, having struck at Kempton three times in the past, and might be over-priced given both her small-time connections and the alleged manner of her meek reversal last time.
Trainer John Gosden has been in rollicking good nick on the all-weather this winter, with Blessington the latest Clarehaven inmate taken to shine in the £500 Free Bets At Betdaq Handicap.
The four-year-old colt must carry joint-top weight for this, but his recent exploits at Lingfield read pretty well, suggesting a race of this nature is cosily within his compass.
It might be a little surprising to see Blessington drop in trip here - he finished exceedingly quickly when fourth over six furlongs over Christmas - but there is surely more to come from a horse who has only raced seven times.
Bajan Bear can come good for the first time since last July in the bookmakers.co.uk Handicap at Lingfield.
Michael Blanshard's six-year-old has gone eight races since he was last successful, but has shown distinct signs of a revival of late.
The gelded son of Compton Place was not beaten that far at a big price over course and distance in November, after which he shaped even better over Kempton's six furlongs when a close-up fourth .
Next up was a return to Lingfield, where he characteristically came from off the pace to take third spot behind Agerzam, beaten just over a length in a much better race than this.
Such is his protracted technique of running, Bajan Bear often needs fortune in running, but he is not devoid of ability and has been found, on paper at least, a most winnable encounter.
DONCASTER: 12.10 Namibian, 12.40 Dark And Dangerous, 1.10 Act Alone, 1.40 Karinga Dancer, 2.10 Diamond King, 2.45 My Flora, 3.20 Chasse En Mer, 3.50 Another Dimension.
KEMPTON: 4.10 Perfect Cracker, 4.40 Blessington, 5.10 Blue Noodles, 5.40 Rosie Prospects, 6.10 New Rich, 6.40 BYRONESS (NAP), 7.10 Odin.
LINGFIELD: 12.30 Shamardyh, 1.00 Only Ten Per Cent, 1.30 Daniel Thomas, 2.00 Syncopate, 2.35 Secret Song, 3.10 Bajan Bear, 3.40 One Last Dream.
DOUBLE: Byroness and Karinga Dancer.

A MIDDLETON-BASED concrete firm has "significantly increased" its support of Oldham Rugby League Club and has become the Roughyeds' main sponsor for 2011.
Mark Bates and Sons Ltd, ready-mix concrete suppliers of Middleton Junction, backed Roughyeds for the first time in 2010 as one of several shirt sponsors.
Managing director Mark Bates (42), who has a football background, got hooked on rugby league and on the club's determination to build a future in their new home at the Whitebank Stadium.
Now, club and company have forged a new deal in which they will increase the firm's financial commitment and, in so doing, will head the Roughyeds' sponsorship portfolio over the next 12 months.
The announcement comes only five days before the start of the new season in which newly-promoted Hunslet Hawks come to the Whitebank on Sunday in the Northern Rail Cup (3pm kick off).
"Mark has literally bought in to what we are trying to achieve," said Roughyeds chairman Chris Hamilton. "Needless to say, we are extremely grateful to him for his support which he has increased significantly this year.
"With Mark's help, and that of others like him, we can make Whitebank a ground that people will be proud of and hopefully attract more people who are interested in backing us at a corporate level.
"In the meantime we will be working hard with Mark to ensure that our
partnership is of mutual benefit, to his company as well as to the club."
A recently-retired amateur goalkeeper, Mark is a Manchester United fan.
"I think football can learn a lot from rugby league," said Bates. "It's rough and tough, but discipline and respect run right through the sport from top to bottom.
"I really enjoyed my first season as a Roughyeds supporter and so did several members of my extended family whom I introduced to the sport.
"This year the boys are targeting automatic promotion and I have a feeling they will be there or thereabouts. I sense that we are a lot stronger now than this time last year."

Taiwan actor Chris Wang, also known as You Sheng (or Wang Yu Sheng), has appeared on such television series as Women on the Breadfruit Tree, Love Me or Leave Me, Inborn Pair and The Fierce Wife. Five years ago he entered and lost a singing competition, which only made him that much more determined to prove that he could sing. But he was smart enough to realize that there was room for improvement and he subsequently attended a Malaysian music school to improve his singing (and dancing) prior to recording this debut mini-album.
Track one, "笨蛋" (Google translation: "Fool"), is a bit of an odd track. For starters, it opens with an approximately 30 second drum solo. If it's Chris playing the drums then I suppose it's not that unusual, but I haven't come across anything that indicates that he plays an instrument, so it just strikes me as a really bizarre beginning for what's essentially a pop song. Stranger still, the drums go away, replaced by a programmed beat, after some glimmering synth comes in and Chris starts singing. Then there's the matter of the auto-tune (or the like), which has clearly been applied to Chris' singing voice throughout most of the song. The only time it seems absent is when he raps an occasional verse, which he actually does quite well, making one wonder why he didn't just make a hip-hop album. Ultimately, this track is well-produced and the chorus is quite addictive, so I suppose the good outweighs the bad. The funny thing is that I didn't detect any auto-tune at all during the five following tracks, which mostly consist of ballads. "都給妳" (Google: "Gave You") is the first, starting off like a gentle piano ballad but shifting into more of an R&B song as it progresses. It's decidedly down-tempo and a nice blend of melancholy and longing. And Chris' voice sounds clear and strong, though the song doesn't require an especially high notes. But at least we're really hearing him sing unaided, not subjected to more auto-tune baloney.
Another noteworthy ballad here is "笑臉" (Google: "Smiley"). It's an easy-breezy and beautiful pop rock number. Initially, I thought that the chorus could have used more of a hook, if I'm being entirely honest, but once you've heard it a few times it seems quite lovely as is. The same holds true for "有你的地方" (Google: "Place"), which proves to be a Taylor Swift-ish country pop ballad. "Wherever you go, there I will be," Chris sings. "Whatever you do, share the dream." Perfectly sweet country pop sentiments. It just seems like it could use a stronger chorus until you've lived with it for a while.
The mini-album's sole other pop song is "Miss Right," which begins with some scratching and guitars, which continue when the (seemingly live) drums kick in and Chris begins singing. "You are miss right," goes the catchy chorus. "Will you be mine?" The song also wins for giving Chris the opportunity to rap again, something I truly hope he'll do more of on his future releases.
The final song here is "昨日," which Google translates as "Yesterday." It starts off with guitars that are replaced by piano once Chris starts singing. But just when you think it's not going much of anywhere, it proves to be relatively epic, growing in intensity as it progresses and the guitars eventually return, accompanied by cinematic strings and resonant drums. The song also plays well on an emotional level, Chris sounding especially vulnerable and broken-hearted thought the track. -Michael McCarthy

Our stories are personalized for one child, enhancing the reading experience, and making it fun all while holding their attention and interest for hours at a time
Monroe, New York (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
Kids are now very often enamored with their brightly lit screens. Whether it be the television screen, or the screen of a phone, tablet or other device, kids just can't seem to be coaxed away. Parents are now wondering when enough time in front of these screens is too much; however, it is apparent that parents that find themselves asking this question already have an answer, and that answer is "yes."
While the proliferation of devices and their known literacy benefits kids, time spent away from such devices is just as beneficial. A recent study by Jama Pediatrics says that time away from screens and digital media helps children's physical, social and behavioral health. The positive effects of spending time away from the screen and more time reading, being active and interacting face-to-face with family can even have a significant impact on academic as well as personal success. Telling kids to step away from the TV or tablet encourages them to balance their stimulation, which directly affects how they think, solve problems and interact with themselves and others. Just how much time should kids have screen time? According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, school-age children should spend no more than two hours a day engaged with entertainment media – TV, computers, tablets, smartphones and other electronic devices.
It can sometimes prove difficult to coax kids away from their beloved digital devices. Personalized activities are a great way to get their attention and keep their attention. Personalized books from KD Novelties a publisher of children's books, helps in keeping kids attention. "Our stories are personalized for one child, enhancing the reading experience, and making it fun all while holding their attention and interest for hours at a time," says Kim Delgado of KD Novelties. A personalized book is a great way to get kids interested in reading and soon hooked on the activity. When kids see themselves in the stories they read, their curiosity is piqued and helps introduce them to other reading material.
Other activities can be made just as personal. Invite kids to converse about their day at school with their parents around the dinner table. Cook kids' favorite meals with them. Even if kids help cook new meals, they are more likely to try the new dish if they have had a hand in making it. Playing their favorite games and activities or sharing personal stories are all great ways to get kids away from their digital devices for a while. Creating a screen time schedule also helps and allows children to figure how they plan to use their screen time during their allotted time.

Zimmer goes a step further for Rocks
Royals prospect takes no-hit bid into sixth inning, fans six
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | May 4, 2013 7:08 PM ET
Kyle Zimmer has had some trouble going deep in games recently. He got back on track in a big way Saturday.
The Royals' No. 2 prospect took a no-hitter into the sixth inning but did not figure in the decision as Class A Advanced Wilmington fell to Lynchburg, 3-2.
Zimmer allowed a bunt single to Braves No. 7 prospect Matt Lipka leading off the sixth and, after a sacrifice, hit Cory Brownsten. Matt Weaver followed with a slow ground ball to first base on which the Blue Rocks failed to complete a double play as Lipka scored all the way from second base. Another infield single and a walk loaded the bases, but Zimmer struck out Robby Hefflinger to end the threat.
The 21-year-old right-hander ended up allowing a run on two hits with six strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.
"I had pretty good command of my fastball, I was moving it back and forth," Zimmer said. "I was trying to force contact early in counts, which allowed me to keep my pitch count down and pitch deeper into the game."
Working deep has been something of a problem for the 2012 first-round pick. Over his previous three starts, Zimmer tossed 11 2/3 innings. Against Salem on April 29, he was charged with five runs on six hits over four frames.
"My last start, where I gave up a few runs, I actually thought I pitched pretty well. I gave up four in one inning and only one ball left the infield," he noted. "Tonight, I think my fastball command was there, which allowed me to set guys up for other pitches. I think my fastball command was the best it's been in a while."
Back on April 24 against Salem, Zimmer allowed one run and struck out 11 but fell an out shy of finishing the fifth. The California native acknowledged there's a delicate balance between pursuing the punchout and conserving his pitches.
"If I get to two strikes and the strikeout's there, I'll take it," Zimmer said. "I think the first pitch, strike one is the most important pitch of each at-bat. If I happen to get two strikes, sure, I'll go for the strikeout. I think it's more about getting ahead of guys and finishing them off, however the at-bat presents itself."
Overall this season, Zimmer is 0-2 with a 4.03 ERA in six starts. He's tied for second in the Carolina League with 40 strikeouts in 29 innings and ranks fifth with a .198 batting average against.
"I don't really care about my stats individually as much as the team stats," the University of San Francisco product said. "If I go out there and get a no-decision but the team wins, I could care less. As long as the team's getting 'W's,' it's what we're all trying to go out there and do."
Wilmington took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the ninth, but Robinson Yambati allowed a leadoff single, then committed back-to-back errors that loaded the bases. After a strikeout, shortstop Jack Lopez's error produced the tying run. Lopez recovered to throw out Fernando De Los Santos at the plate, but Yambati uncorked a wild pitch that allowed the winning run to score.
"Tonight was a tough loss for us, just bad luck for us in the ninth inning," Zimmer said.
Wilmington's Cheslor Cuthbert went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and fell a triple shy of the cycle. The Royals' No. 9 prospect has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games to raise his average 25 points to .260.

I was never sure whether this was phlegm or the onset of lunacy.
So after my father died I wrote a book, Fathers and Sons, with the intention of casting the Wavian phlegm out of my system.
This phlegm is succeeded by an acid liquor, which rises in the form of white vapours that fill the receiver.
One of Popes precepts is, to write with fury and correct with phlegm.
The old teacher and his daughter bore this sudden reverse of fortune with true Germanic phlegm, and prepared to depart.
Let melancholy rule supreme, Choler preside, or blood, or phlegm.
But if Yusef came not by the cafe where Wassef sat glooming, some one else came who quickly roused Wassef from his phlegm.
He had no more of the Spanish complexion than of the phlegm of that country.
Vinegar suffers no decomposition by the congelation of its phlegm, and the consequent concentration of its Acid.
Hence, perhaps, the Teuton's phlegm and the Gaul's excitability.
late 14c., fleem "viscid mucus" (the stuff itself and also regarded as a bodily humor), from Old French fleume (13c., Modern French flegme), from Late Latin phlegma, one of the four humors of the body, from Greek phlegma "humor caused by heat," lit "inflammation, heat," from phlegein "to burn," related to phlox (genitive phlogos) "flame, blaze," from PIE *bhleg- "to shine, flash," from root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn" (see bleach (v.)). Modern form is attested from c.1660. The "cold, moist" humor of the body, in medieval physiology, it was believed to cause apathy.
phlegm (flěm)
Thick, sticky, stringy mucus secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as during a cold or other respiratory infection.
One of the four humors of ancient and medieval physiology, thought to cause sluggishness, apathy, and evenness of temper.

Rajendran Muthiah
The Bellicose Monkeys - Poem by Rajendran Muthiah
In our return trip from Megamalai
on the worst, single, bumpy track,
the driver stopped the bus for a break.
and led the passengers into a shop
for eating snacks and taking tea.
A crowd of Indian monkeys
dangling from the branches of trees
jumped on the roof of the bus.
They screeched and scared the boys
who were biting and eating
and willing not to throw pieces to them.
A man bit a piece of bread to eat
and in the next minute the remaining of it
was in the mouth of a monkey
which sprang upon him, snatched it up
and rushed back to the top of the bus.
A boy was swallowing a banana
and the half of it got into the palms of a monkey
which dashed towards him in no time
picked the fruit and climbed up.
The hungry animals took away half of every eatable.
A college student was puffing a cigar
and blowing out clouds of smoke towards them.
What a surprise! No one came down
to pull out the cigar from his fingers.
The animals know very well:
'Smoking is harmful to health'.
When the driver came out of the shop
the animals jumped up, clung to the branches
and swung here and there in glee.
In case they smoke, there are no fake doctors
to treat them for the loss of vigour in the hills.

Greta Van Susteren has responded to criticism regarding her interview with former editor Jill Abramson. Van Susteren has faced criticism before, but this time it's from Elizabeth Spayd of the Columbia Journalism Review who called Abramson's appearance a "a cheery campaign to bend public opinion her way."
"Her strategy, in case it's not obvious, is to seek out prominent female journalists for a congenial discussion of her ousting, so long as there's no serious discussion of her ousting," Spayd went on to say, "If female journalists want to be treated equitably, they should abide by their own principles of fairness. That means not giving your own a slide because you think they deserve it. Behaving otherwise is convenient, but it's not journalism."
"'Cheery?' Is that like 'perky?' Is that how she describes men when they do interviews with topics she doesn't like? Cheery?" Van Susteren wrote in her response on Gretawire, "My interview about her firing and her answers were hardly 'cheery.' Snooty journalism magazines – the ones who think they might be the gold standard – might want to do some basics — like first call — before they pontificate."
Jill Abramson became a hot topic after she was fired from her job as the executive editor of the New York Times. Yahoo was apparently excited that they managed to get Katie Couric the first interview, so that's what they told Politico.
Thursday, @katiecouric sits down exclusively with former @nytimes exec. editor @JillAbramson. Tweet us your q's. pic.twitter.com/zj7kRnouW7
— Yahoo News (@YahooNews) July 15, 2014
Embarrassingly enough for Yahoo, after they announced the "exclusive", Fox News spoke up and said that in fact Van Susteren had the first interview with Abramson a day before Couric. Politico promptly updated their story.
Unfortunately for both Van Susteren and Couric, the first interview for Abramson after her firing was done by Pat Kiernan and Rita Cosby on "The Ride Home" radio show on NY1/WABC-AM, as the New York Daily News pointed out.
Not everyone was a critic. The interview was a hit according to author and journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore in an article she wrote for Salon. "Each successive appearance revealed a sharp and knowledgeable Abramson who pulled no punches. But with Van Susteren, she probably revealed more about our media environment—and the state of women in media—than anyone expected," she wrote, "With Van Susteren she seemed to be engaged in semi-debate with a savvy, politically engaged peer. Couric's questions were hesitant and clumsy—particularly when reading from a screen about whether or not there was a gender bias in media, which is a question she should probably be familiar enough with to not have to read from a screen."
Van Susteren hasn't responded to the praise, but dealing with critics is very familiar to the commentator. Just last month, she dealt with attacks regarding her interview with Hilary Clinton.

Take Action
Ask Mercedes Benz to take action on HB 56 in Three Easy Steps
Mercedes has the political power to push Alabama for a repeal of HB 56. Please help us ask them to take a stand.
Auto companies like Hyundai have serious influence in Alabama. If Hyundai were to turn against destructive laws like HB 56—which has split up immigrant families and cost the state millions in economic output—Alabama's legislature would seriously reconsider the law.
Hyundai and Honda have the power to change history when it comes to Alabama's anti-immigrant law, HB 56. Auto manufacturing is one of the most important industries in Alabama; lawmakers would scramble to repeal the law if car companies were to really put their foot down about it. Help us tell Hyundai and Honda to put the brakes on hate.
Oscar-nominated director Chris Weitz releases a collection of four short videos documenting the reality of life under Alabama's HB 56.
The DREAM Act cannot be cut up and divided. There is only ONE DREAM Act and it's a common sense piece of legislation. The only politicians we know that want to veto or change it are anti-immigrant.
Undocumented immigrants in Alabama no longer have access to courts, contracts, or police protection. But according to the creators of the legislation, the bill is working as planned. It's time we take stand. Tell lawmakers in Alabama to repeal HB 56.
Alabama has recently begun implementing a law designed to kick Latinos and immigrants out of the state. If you thought Arizona was bad, Alabama is worse. This is Arizona on steroids.

Flying Frog was originally a member of the Fearsome Foursome under Mammoth Mogul and has since become a member of the Destructix. A criminal who with his cohorts has clashed several times with the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Chaotix, he has also worked under Sleuth Dog and Doctor Finitevus.
Like the rest of the Fearsome Foursome, Flying Frog debuted as an agent of Mammoth Mogul's, attacking the Chaotix on his orders. After being defeated and retreating from this battle, he would return to help Mogul in his bid to claim the Sword of Acorns by pitting the Chaotix and Freedom Fighters against each other. Frog's purpose involved serving as the substance behind Mogul's illusions of Vector and Sonic, which initially had the two groups fighting. When the more level-headed members of each team noticed the errors in these illusions, however, the scheme was blown and Frog was captured along with his teammates. Later on, he along with the rest of the Fearsome Foursome, would be sent to Devil's Gulag and imprisoned for some time. However, due to the actions of an as yet concealed Dr. Eggman, the teammates were able to escape along with several characters. Joining the assemblage of villains under Snively's leadership, Frog confronted the Freedom Fighters again in capturing Nate Morgan, a venture that proved much more successful than his previous encounters with the heroes. Sadly, his success was short-lived, as he and the rest of the future Destructix were defeated and captured by the Secret Service under the lead of Geoffery St. John. Following another escape from Devil's Gulag, Flying Frog and his teammates—which now included Sleuth and Drago—would take up residence in a factory that had once belonged to Dr. Eggman, keeping Tommy Turtle as a convenient punching bag. Later, Sonic would come to infiltrate that factory to liberate his old friend Tommy, only to watch as the Destructix—though they were not yet called that—attempted to make a deal with Dr. Eggman to sell him the factory, which by rights he already owned. Frog and the others were then subjected to being roboticized, becoming Robians in service to Eggman. Due to Sleuth's apparently suicidal attempt to prevent his own transformation, it seemed briefly as though the Destructix had been destroyed, but they in fact survived and were de-roboticized by the Bem. Later, robotic doubles of their Robian forms would attack Sonic as part of a ruse to get an Auto Automaton of Tommy Turtle into Knothole. When recovered by Eggman, these doubles contained video of the Destructix making a deal with "Anonymous", a mysterious being who would later turn out to be Eggman's computer virus son A.D.A.M., once the Destructix were officially organized, all of its members set out to recapture Mammoth Mogul's Chaos Emerald in order to release him. Flying Frog engaged the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix yet again, but as usual was outclassed and outnumbered and so defeated. He and the others were taken to prison, only to be liberated when Mogul escaped from the Emerald himself. When Ixis ahd arrived and challenged Mogul for the before mentioned Crown of Acorns, Frog fought against his Arachne as well as the arriving Freedom Fighters and Chaotix. When Mogul and Naugus joined forces, the battle continued between only two sides, but then ended with the destruction of the Sword and Crown of Acorns and the capture of the villains by the Egg Fleet. Frog and his compatriots were then teleported to the Egg Grape Chamber, where Mogul briefly protected them before lowering his shields and leaving them at Eggman's mercy. Luckily for the criminals, Dr. Finitevus arrived shortly thereafter with Scourge the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat to liberate the Destructix. The doctor called upon them for their muscle, first requiring Frog and his teammates to play the part of reformed mercenaries by defending helpless Echinda's of Angel Island from the Dingoes. Flying Frog and his compatriots revealed their true colors soon enough by ambushing and capturing Knuckles The Echidna when he returned to Angel Island and handing him over to the Dark Legion. Following his brainwashing and transformation into Enerjak, the Destructix—now joined by Fiona Fox in place of Rouge—were set at watch over a device created by the Brotherhood of Guardians to destroy Enerjak in the event of his return. They were soon challenged by Sonic, Julie-Su, and Locke as they attempted to claim the device, only to be thwarted by Archimedes the Fire Ant and then have their mission rendered unnecessary by Sonic's destruction of the weapon. Unnerved by the ensuing battle between Enerjak and Super Sonic, Flying Frog and his allies left through one of Finitevus' Warp Rings, having decided to become full-fledged mercenaries. The group soon found themselves once again employed by Mammoth Mogul, who commissioned them to bring him Sonic's running shoes. After a brief fight with Sonic, Sally, and fellow mercenaries Bark the Polarbear and Bean The Dynamite—whom Mogul had also hired but who had switched sides on Sally's offer of better payment—they captured Sonic and took him to Mogul's casino. They were all then defeated by Sonic, Sally, Amy Rose, and Geoffrey St. John, only for Rouge to pass the word to them that Mogul's plan all along had been to discredit Sonic by capturing him and then having him confront Mogul without evidence that Mogul had been involved.
He is the least serious out of them all as he intentionally scares people, act's like a clown, and is seen speaking in rhyme sometimes.

London: Paceman Andrew Caddick and spinner Robert Croft, who have pulled out of the England squad to tour India in November due to security fears, will have to forfeit at least 25,000 Pounds each.The pair will also have to wait until after the India tour to find out if they will suffer further financial penalty. As of now they have lost half their winter tour fee, and that figure will double if they are not selected for the trip to New Zealand in February, sources said on Wednesday.The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), however, was keen to focus on the three players who decided to travel to India than dwell on the long-term future of the absentees. Marcus Trescothick, Ashley Giles and Craig White, all of who expressed apprehensions about touring following the escalation of the conflict in Afghanistan, on Tuesday confirmed their availability. However, Giles and White will need to pass fitness tests next Wednesday. Giles put his chances of being fit at no higher than 50-50. The England squad is scheduled to reach India on November 14 for its 40-day three-Test tour. Replacements for Caddick and Croft will be announced late in the week after discussions between chairman of selectors David Graveney, his co-selector Geoff Miller, skipper Nasser Hussain and coach Duncan Fletcher.Yorkshire pace bowler Chris Silverwood and Somerset's Richard Johnson are in the fray to replace Caddick, and Jeremy Snape, who toured Zimbabwe with the One-day squad with some success recently, is likely to take Croft's place.

It's been an incredible week, the likes of which we haven't seen in a while. First Air Canada and then Air India announce they're selecting 787s and 777s to renew their fleets. Then you throw in the A380 first-flight hoopla, and needless to say, we've been a little busy around here.
But I don't want the week to go by without a few fond words about a great airplane. The very last 757 departed Boeing Field in Seattle on Wednesday. This final delivery almost got lost in all the other news going on.
Final delivery. Shanghai Airlines' 757 soars into the skies over Puget Sound.
We formally completed the 757 line back in October, but this week we actually delivered the last airplane to Shanghai Airlines, which had requested an April delivery. Their new 757-200 is the 1,050th and final 757 produced in Renton, WA. Can you believe that?
55 customers ordered 757s over the past 20 years or so. And about 1,030 of the 757s are still in service around the world today. Did you know that of the 35 commercial jetliners introduced since the 1950s, only seven models have ever sold more than 1,000 units? That's a real achievement. A tribute to the Boeing folks who made it happen.
As a "cub" economic analyst for Boeing, I did some airplane operating cost trade studies related to the 757 when we were first developing the airplane. I could see then that it was going to be in big demand by the airlines because of its efficient technology. Over the years I've been involved in many sales campaigns with some of our best customers with this fabulous product.
Probably the greatest memory is from the early 1990s when I was head of the 737/757 product marketing group. I had the amazing opportunity to fly on a 757 demonstration flight to Lhasa, Tibet. Now, this is one of the highest airports in the world, at 11,600 feet elevation. That's thin air up there, surrounded by the foothills of the Himalayas.
With yours truly on board, the 757 demonstrates a single-engine take off at the airport in Lhasa, Tibet in 1991.
But we successfully and safely demonstrated that this twin-engine airplane had enough power and performance to do a single-engine take off and turn back to the airport. Soon after that came the first regular twin-engine jet service to that region.
When we gave birth to the first 757 back in 1981, it set the standard for aviation technology and efficiency. Here's the interesting thing: that very first one didn't go to a customer. It's a Boeing-owned test airplane, still in use today.
I'm told that pilots like to call the 757-200 the "hot rod of the skies." Mainly because it's a very powerful airplane, and it almost literally jumps into the air. Considering that nearly all of the 757s we ever built are still flying, I think this hot rod will be soaring into the skies for a long, long time.
On another note related to events this week, you might want to take a moment to click over to BBC News for a really good, balanced mix of views on the A380 and its potential impact on travel. Interesting reading.

[The Banking System in Kosovo and its Role in Economic Development]
The development of a sustainable banking system is a precondition for the development of an economy. The fair competition between financial institutions would lead to the efficient use of financial and other economic resources. The purpose of this paper is to extract all prominent factors in the nature of banking and their direct role in economic development. The factors analyzed here are significantly tied to banking institutions, their efficiency indicators in comparison to other banking institutions in the region and beyond, rate of interest and other lending conditions.

CULLOWHEE Plentiful precipitation during the late spring and early summer across Western North Carolina's mountains is expected to result in a less spectacular display of autumn colors this year.
That's the official prediction from Western Carolina University's new fearless fall foliage forecaster. Katherine Mathews, an assistant professor of biology specializing in plant systematics, is taking over the duties from longtime prognosticator J. Dan Pittillo upon his recent retirement after nearly 40 years as a faculty member in Western's biology department.
Mathews said she has some big shoes to fill, as Pittillo became widely known as the Alan Greenspan of fall foliage forecasting. A faculty member at Western since 2003, she is basing her predictions about the intensity of fall color upon Pittillo's theory that the best fall color is seen after springs with below-average rainfall, when plant growth is stunted by a lack of sufficient water.
In a nutshell, fall leaf color will not be especially spectacular for the mountains of Western North Carolina and, in fact, for the state as a whole in 2005. Rainfall was light in January and February, and again in May, but was considerably above average from June through August in the mountain areas, Mathews said.
Historically, we see the brightest color when we experience periods of dry weather during the trees' growing season. Lack of rainfall stresses the trees, and that stress typically results in more colorful foliage, she said. During periods of adequate rainfall, most of the trees' energy goes into production of wood instead of producing leaf pigments that yield bright fall colors.
That doesn't mean that leaf-lookers will be totally disappointed in the display of fall color, Mathews said. There should be scattered sites where the right combination of factors come together to yield good color.
Even during an average year, the mountains during the fall season are pretty impressive, she said.
The biological process that results in the bright hues of fall is well under way. Cooler nighttime temperatures and the change in the intensity of sunlight as summer gives way to autumn contribute to the environmental stresses that induce the decomposition of chlorophyll, the chemical that gives leaves their green color in spring and summer. As chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments always present in the leaves, but masked by the green of chlorophyll are revealed.
The annual color show will begin first in the higher elevations of the northwestern sections of North Carolina , typically in early October, and progress southward and down slopes through mid-October and early November. Yellow birches, red sourwoods, red and yellow maples, yellow pin cherries and yellow poplars will be the first colors to show, Mathews said. They will be followed by the yellow and red of oaks and sweet gums, yellow of hickories, yellow and brown of beeches, and a variety of other color shades in the vines, shrubs and smaller trees beneath the forest canopy.

Some people go through the ritual of making new year's resolutions. I don't. Instead I try to seize on the urge to reform when the urge is fresh, and that can happen at random times during the year. On January 1, my urges are more predictable: please, no more cookies.
That's not to say I don't have a new year's ritual. I do. I take down the old wall calendars and put up the new ones.
In recent years, I've been fortunate enough to receive a calendar from a geologist friend, Kate Clover. Kate and several others, including photographer Leo Kenney, create a calendar with photos of sand from around the world. I'm pleased to say that sand I collected inspired a photo in their 2012 calendar. The sand, dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, came from the Mississippi River near the I-35W bridge.
Last spring, Kate and Leo offered preliminary ideas on what was in the sand, but they revised their thinking on the identity of the black, hollowed-out orb in the lower right of the photo. Originally they thought it might be buckshot, but now they think it's sand-blasting grit.
On a sunny, unseasonably warm January day, I spent an hour browsing through abrasive blasting websites, and I think it's likely that the sand-blasting grit in my Mississippi River sand was manufactured in China. One website described abrasive blasting this way: it "uses mechanical energy to hurl particles at high speeds against metallic and non-metallic surfaces, removing paints and other organic coatings."
Somebody at some time in the fairly recent past repainted or removed rust from a Minneapolis bridge, probably the old 35W bridge, or perhaps a bridge upstream. At least some of the blasting grit wound up in the river.
It was clear last spring that the sand grains in this sample showed great range in their geologic provenance, less so in geographic origin — they all came from points north. But if I'm right that the grit came from China, the sand grains in our Midwestern river are much more the world travelers than I thought.
See Leo Kenney's sand photo gallery for a peek at just how beautiful and variable sand can be.

remember the used condom we threw behind my bed? my mom found it and is accusing me and making a big deal out of it,
Haha! You pissed me off, so I actually told her to go look behind your bed. Good thing I moved to Nevada, so your dad can't kick my ass. Good luck bitch.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
I think the real question here is why did she leave it festering behind her bed for so long? shits nasty
Another question is why is she letting her mom clean her room?
you dont get it HE told her mom to look there, so the mom looked there and saw it
regardless, even if HE told er that means she ain't cleaned her room in ??? ewww...
Nono, I understood that part. The entire situation is just ridiculously juvenile. From tossing used condoms, not cleaning her own damn room, and complaining to the jerk who narq'd on her... it's just really depressing.
Don't fuck with fuck buddies?
yo, jdub77, ima let you finish, but nigerian princes had the best spam of ALL TIME!
By the way, who said the condom was there for a long time? He could've fucked her on moving day, and she could've panicked and thrown it behind her bed until it was safe to trash it. And on his way out the door, he could've approached the mother and said "Look behind the bitches bed." and then left for Nevada before the father got home from work. Regardless, I'll say it again. This guy fucking WINS.
Is she making a big deal because you banged some guy or that you left the condom to rot behind your bed?
very mature.
Really you might need to quit letting old mom clean up slut motel
Hahahha holy shit this is hilarious!!
The tea question is how he told the mom if he moved to navada or where ever and not get himself in trouble.

I really want to know who from the 818 is this about lol
this is fuckin awesome!
Touchet bitch!
haha what a champ
This is stupid and too long to read bedtime story time stupid old people
This is entirely too fake. His area code is already a Vegas area code. So that means he changed his number when moving to Nevada. If he changed his number, and was pissed at this girl, she wouldn't have probably gotten his new number to send him the initial text in the first place. And even if she did get his new number, then she would have already known that he moved to Vegas so no surprise there.
I'm calling a fake on this... who texts like that?
People who don't want to sound like morons.
I do.
Awesome. Best ever
@IDontWantOne agreed
Lazy slob can't pick up a condom mommy has to do it

Penn State breezes in opener of NCAA Women's Tournament
BATON ROUGE, La. — Penn State's offense took a while to get untracked in what eventually became an 85-55 first-round NCAA Women's Tournament rout of Cal Poly.
"Coming out better defensively in the second half, that's what really got our momentum going," said Maggie Lucas, the Big Ten Player of the Year who led the Lady Lions with 19 points, many in transition as Penn State turned up the heat after halftime.
As a result, Penn State (26-5) advanced to the second round of the NCAA Women's Tournament and plays at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday (ESPN2) when it takes on sixth-seeded LSU (21-11), a 75-71 winner Sunday over 11th-seeded University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Lucas went 4 for 8 from the field in each half and finished with four assists and a game-high four steals, and backcourt mate Alex Bentley scored 18 points.
Their bigger teammates made life rough for Big West champion Cal Poly (21-11).
Senior Mia Nickson had 13 points and a game-high 13 rebounds and wasn't whistled for a foul. Junior Talia East scored 12 points, grabbed four rebounds and blocked three shots. And senior Nikki Greene added 11 points and eight rebounds as they made Cal Poly's Molly Schlemer work harder than the 6-foot-5 junior ever imagined for her game-high 24 points, 12 in each half.
"It seemed like a little unfair of a fight," joked 16th-year Cal Poly coach Faith Mimnaugh, who was taking the Mustangs to the first NCAA Women's Tournament in school history. She admitted there are no teams they faced with so much frontcourt depth.
This marks Penn State's third trip to the second round in as many years, making back-to-back NCAA trips to LSU's campus. The Lady Lions, who led by as many as 31 in the second half, trailed 17-16 with 7:45 to go before halftime before going on a defensive-fueled 10-1 run.
They led, 38-28, at halftime on a high-lofting, off-balance 3-pointer by Lucas. The junior guard had the ball on the left wing, waiting patiently for the clock to wind down, and then swished a rainbow at the buzzer.
"When I took it, I didn't think it was the best shot I could have gotten," she said with a laugh, "but it went."
The Lady Lions were giddy on their way to halftime.
"It might have given them a lift, but it was short-lived after I walked into the locker room," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "We talked about the other 19 minutes and 55 seconds of the half.
"Not sure it was a big lift, but Maggie's right, that we did a better job defensively in the second half in containing the ball and contesting shots and making them take tough shots. The first half we didn't do quite as good a job as we needed to, but the second half was better."
Penn State, 30-23 all time in NCAA Women's Tournament games, including 15-3 in the first round, never led by fewer than 14 the final 14:59. The Lady Lions held a 52-40 rebounding advantage and held Cal Poly to 27.9 percent shooting.

5 Jewish Texts to Balance Civil Liberties and National Security
As debate swirls around how our government can continue to address the threat of terrorism in a way that upholds our civil liberties, it can be difficult to keep track of the many issues this basic question raises. Politicians, experts and advocates continue to spar over the efficacy of torture, the necessity of indefinite detention, bulk data collection, government access to encrypted information and many other tools some say are necessary to prevent attacks against Americans.
Our responsibility as Reform Jews is to take into account both the complexities of this moment and recognize the enduring values our texts have given us. The following five texts can provide some context and framing as we work through these important questions:
- "When one pursues another with intent to kill… every Jew is commanded to save the intended victim, even at the cost of the pursuer's life" (Maimonides Yad, Rotzeach 1:6). Maimonides' instruction here echoes the Jewish value of pikuach nefesh (saving a life), an imperative that overrides nearly every commandment. The importance of this precept should not be taken lightly and is a primary text that informs the Jewish commitment to preserving and ensuring national security.
- "Rabbi Akiva said: 'Love your neighbor as yourself' (Leviticus 19:18) is a great principle, so that you must not say, 'Since I have been put to shame, let my neighbor be put to shame, since I have been cursed, let my neighbor be cursed.' Rabbi Tanhuma said: If you do so, know whom you put to shame, for 'In the image of God did God make him' (Genesis 1:27)" (Mishnah, Bereshit Rabbah 24:7). This section of the Mishnah expands on the concept of human dignity, warning us against humiliating another person, even if that person has caused harm. In cases of detainee treatment, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tanhuma remind us that even our enemies should be treated with a basic level of dignity.
- "A person may not incriminate himself" (Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 9b). The Talmudic injunction against self-incrimination, which parallels the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." This text warns us against one of the dangerous outcomes of torture, where a detainee will confess to anything in order to make the pain stop.
- "When a person refrains from speech, the ideas die, the soul stops, and the senses deteriorate" said Moses ibn Ezra, insisting on respect for honest differences of opinion (Moses ibn Ezra, Shirat Yisrael 12c). Ibn Ezra speaks to the necessity of free speech, painting a dystopic vision of social decay when such a right is denied. As we work to maintain a secure society, we must also recognize that curbing rights to free speech may leave our society well-guarded, but at risk of internal deterioration.
- "In a courtyard which he shares with others a man should not open a door facing another person's door nor a window facing another person's window" (Babylonian Talmud, Bava Batra 60a). This very technical instruction from the Talmud speaks to the importance of protection even from the possibility that someone may see into their neighbor's private space, resulting in hezek re'iyah (harm caused by seeing), a violation of privacy. It reminds us of the responsibility we have to uphold the rights of privacy for all.
While it is clear that not all of these texts are in agreement, together they communicate the need to pursue policies that balance national security and civil liberties.

Lancaster York 100 Mile Relay
Lancaster to York
Sat 10/05/2013
Elite, Military, Off-road/Trail, Other
The race takes teams of runners an unprecedented 100 miles from Lancaster city across the Yorkshire dales to the Viking city of York. It's an incredibly scenic route with long off road sections. The race combines strategy alongside individual effort and a huge team work component. Teams start together completing the first mile as a team, as well and the middle and last mile together. Teams must decide which runners complete which of the individual legs. These vary from 3 to 13 miles. Some have very simple navigation, running on clear footpaths during daylight and others involve difficult town navigation, running in the dark, running through woods, on a mix if off road and on road terrain. Teams must decide not just who runs which leg, but which vehicle that runner is in, who is eating and when, who is sleeping, who is navigating for the team member driving their minibus and cars.Event schedule and timesStarts Lancaster Castle at 4am and finishes in York St Johns University in the evening.

Judges have the right to control their courtrooms to maintain civility and safety, but throwing people in jail because of a ringing cell phone is extreme. That's what Niagara Falls City Court Judge Robert Restaino did when no one claimed a beeping cell phone while he was hearing domestic violence cases. No one claimed it, so he jailed 46 people – everyone except the attorneys and court staff.
On June 5, the New York Court of Appeals upheld the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct's decision to remove him from the bench, calling his behavior "inexcusable." The Court of Appeals decided an extreme punishment was needed for the judge's extreme behavior.
Judges must not like ringing cell phones in their courtrooms.
A couple of years ago
Lake County Criminal Court Judge Diane Boswell fined a woman $100 after her cell phone rang during the morning court call
and assigned community service to the other people sitting in the row where the cell phone rang for not fessing up right away
when the judge questioned who owned the phone. Though not as extreme as the
These kinds of incidents raise the question as to how much power a judge should have over his or her courtroom and when do the judge's actions cross the line and become "inexcusable." Ringing cell pones are annoying, but I'm just not sure they warrant jail time or even community service.

As April 15 draws closer, I am getting quite a few phone calls and emails from people who are considering filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy but are worried that they may lose their income tax refund if they do.
Most of these people are depending on their income tax refund for necessary living expenses or are planning to use it to catch up on mortgage payments or car payments. Some are even wanting to use their income tax refund to pay their bankruptcy attorney's fees and filing fees.
The answer to this question depends on the specific facts of your situation and where you file your case. The exemption laws that are available to protect an income tax refund vary dramatically from state to state.
Like everything else in bankruptcy, it is very important that you be completely open and honest with your bankruptcy lawyer about your income tax refund. I ask every client of mine whether or not they have filed their tax return and whether or not they have already received or are expecting an income tax refund.
In Oklahoma, if you file your bankruptcy case AFTER you get your income tax refund, and you spent your refund on exempt property, then your worries are over. It's not an issue.
It would be all right to spend the tax refund on things such as food, clothing, household goods, home and vehicle repairs, catching up on your house payments, and contributing to retirement accounts.
But you could spend your tax refund in such a way as to create a problem.
For example, if you used the tax refund to repay a relative money you owed them, or to pay off one of your credit cards, that's considered a "preferential transfer" where one creditor was treated more favorable than the others. And when that happens, the Chapter 7 trustee can force your relative or the credit card company turn over that money.
However, if you file your bankruptcy case BEFORE you get your income tax refund, you must disclose the tax refund in your bankruptcy documents as an asset.
And in Oklahoma, except for any portion of the tax refund that is attributable to the earned income credit, the tax refund is a non-exempt asset which means that it can be taken by the Chapter 7 trustee to be paid to your unsecured creditors.
Whether or not the Chapter 7 trustee will take an income tax refund usually depends on two things: 1) how large the refund is, and 2) what percentage of your unsecured debts would be paid by the refund. If the total amount is small and the percentage paid back would be insignificant, the trustee is likely to abandon the tax refund and allow you to keep it.
If you filed a joint tax return with your spouse, but only one of you filed bankruptcy, your tax refund will be prorated according to the ratios of you and your spouse's incomes and the trustee would only be able to take the refund belong to the spouse who has filed bankruptcy.
If you file your bankruptcy after January 1, but before you received your refund, the Chapter 7 trustee can take your share of the entire refund.
If you file your bankruptcy petition before January 1, the Chapter 7 trustee may take a pro-rata portion of the refund attributable to the months before you filed your bankruptcy case.
For example, if you file bankruptcy on September 30, nine months of the year (January – September) is considered pre-petition (before the bankruptcy case is filed) and three months of the year (October – December) is considered post-petition (after the bankruptcy case is filed). In this example, the Trustee can take 75% of your refund, while you get to keep the other 25%.
Lastly, future tax refunds beyond the year in which you file your bankruptcy petition are not subject to being taken by the Chapter 7 trustee.
If you are considering filing bankruptcy but are worried about losing your income tax refund, contact me today to schedule a FREE initial consultation. Just fill out the Contact Dan form on the far right side of the page and click the Submit button and I'll get back with you as quickly as I can. Or just pick up the phone and give me a call at 918-615-8260.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/1/2013 (1647 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A judge has served a hefty fine and driving ban to a man who passed out at the wheel in a city drive-thru while waiting for his meal.
Defence lawyer Patrick Sullivan said that Brendon Matthew Lilley left a party in a cab, but later made the mistake of driving himself to a fast-food restaurant.
"He made the poor decision to go to McDonald's to get a bite to eat," Sullivan said in Brandon provincial court on Monday.
Crown attorney Garry Rainnie said police were called by a Victoria Avenue McDonald's employee around 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 16.
A man in the drive-thru had slurred speech and had fumbled with his wallet.
Suspicious staff stalled for time by delaying service until police arrived and an officer was at the restaurant within a minute of receiving the call.
An employee told police that the suspect was now asleep in his vehicle at the drive-thru window.
Police opened the pickup truck's door and awoke the driver, who was Lilley, and he was told to put the truck into park as it was still in gear.
A droopy-eyed Lilley staggered as he got out of the pickup and tests showed he had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
Lilley, 31, had been at a Christmas party that happened to coincide with his birthday, Sullivan said.
Lilley had left the party in a cab, Sullivan said, but decided to drive when he got hungry.
Judge John Combs fined Lilley $1,500 and banned him from driving for 18 months.

WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats reached for a blowout at the polls Tuesday that would add more than 20 seats to their House majority in an anti-GOP wave fueled by voters' economic anxieties and yearning for change.
Expecting large voter turnouts across the nation, Democrats were solidly on track to capture more than 15 GOP seats and had a good chance to wrest away another two dozen. Republicans had fewer than a dozen Democratic targets they had any hope of defeating.
It would be the first time in more than 75 years that Democrats rode large waves of victory to bigger congressional margins in back-to-back elections. In 2006, they won 30 seats and control of Congress in a surge powered by voter anger over the Iraq war.
POLITICS BLOG: Key House, Senate, state races
This year it's the sour economy and public antipathy for President Bush that posed the biggest challenges for Republican candidates. A wave of GOP retirements and huge financial and organizational disadvantages compared with Democrats made a grim fight even tougher.
Democrats were counting on Barack Obama's coattails to transform a wave of victories into a tsunami to propel them to a gain of 35 House seats or more. They now control the House by a 235-199 margin, with one vacancy.
GOP lawmakers at risk include Alaska's Rep. Don Young, Rep. Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado, Rep. Tom Feeney of Florida, and Michigan Reps. Tim Walberg and Joe Knollenberg. Rep. Lee Terry of Nebraska, once considered a safe bet for re-election, is also in major trouble in a state Obama is actively contesting.
Republican Party strategists expect to lose several GOP-held seats left open by Republican retirements or departures, including in Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and two each in New Mexico and New York.
Democrats are not expecting a clean sweep. Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Fla., who is under investigation by the FBI and a House panel after admitting to two adulterous affairs, is all but certain to lose his re-election race. Other Democrats most at risk of losing include Reps. Paul E. Kanjorski in Pennsylvania and Nick Lampson in Texas.
Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., who chairs a subcommittee with the most influence on the Pentagon's spending, also is in an unexpectedly tight race to keep the seat he has held for 34 years, after calling his district south of Pittsburgh "racist."
Democrats, who came out of their huge 2006 victory girding for losses this year, instead were able to aggressively spread their considerable wealth to campaigns around the country, including to traditionally Republican districts where their candidates shouldn't have had a chance.
A crop of freshman Democrats in conservative-leaning districts quickly began compiling campaign war chests and moderate voting records almost from the moment they were elected two years ago, leaving only a few of them endangered on Election Day.
Republicans, meanwhile, were fighting on a playing field skewed by the departure of 29 of their members, leaving lesser-known GOP contenders to battle better-financed Democrats in races shaped in large part by antipathy toward Bush.
Both parties took in huge amounts of campaign cash in House races, although Democrats had a clear edge. Democratic candidates raised $436 million, compared with Republicans' $328 million, according to federal data compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
The parties' campaign committees also bankrolled the most competitive races, with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pouring in $76 million and the National Republican Congressional Committee spending $24 million.
Because of hurricanes that delayed October primaries, the winners of two Louisiana seats — one that belonged to retiring Republican Rep. Jim McCrery and other now held by indicted Democratic Rep. William Jefferson — won't be known until December.
