I'd also wager to have the startup script check the architecture that it is being run on and provide suitable feedback if the architecture does not match the PBI build architecture. Right now, the script closes and the application never launches. Oh and ultimately providing a link the appropriate PBI would be incredibly easy for new users of PC-BSD and PBIs. Arguably if you go that route, a UI to simply d/l the xml list and process PBI availability using the UI could be done (just throwing it out there) as well. But that's getting greedy for now. PC-BSD 8 is incredibly solid for a BETA release and I'm thoroughly impressed.

Time to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard
The idiocy of federally mandated corn-based ethanol production is so plain that even a liberal Democrat now has joined the chorus of conservative voices advocating its end.
Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont called for repeal of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for corn-based ethanol at a Washington event focused on that mandate, The Hill newspaper's RegWatch blog reports. And his rationale certainly is familiar to those on the opposite end of the political spectrum who've long opposed this RFS.
The standard raises food and livestock-feed prices — and adds 5 to 10 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline, according to The Wall Street Journal — by diverting 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop to production of ethanol that's blended into gas. Ethanol takes more energy to produce than it yields as fuel, offsetting supposed environmental benefits, and those ethanol-gasoline blends reduce performance of and can damage engines.
Absent this RFS, the corn-based ethanol market wouldn't exist — which is a sure sign that it shouldn't. To his credit, Mr. Welch is among lawmakers who've introduced legislation to repeal the corn-based ethanol standard. And he thinks momentum for doing so is growing.
Still, every RFS — the one for corn-based ethanol and those for other, more exotic, even less economically viable biofuels — should go. Especially with technological innovation making domestic oil and natural gas newly abundant and affordable, Uncle Sam should not be artificially propping up any not-ready-for-prime-time "alternative" energy source.

BIOGRAPHIES seem doomed to fail. If even corsages lose their color pressed between the pages of a book, what hope has a life? Lying in state, in print, a life can look formal, orderly and planned. But suppose the life were in many ways a mess, albeit a fascinating, courageous, picturesque and emotionally intense mess?
Beryl Markham lived such a life, about which she and others often lied. Along with those colorful figures T. E. Lawrence and Sir Richard Burton, Markham was one of the most extraordinary of explorers. That a life of high public drama, scandal, eccentricity and passion could be lost for so long, only to be rediscovered by accident, makes you wonder how many other electrifying stories have disappeared into the quicksand of history.
Beryl Markham died last August at the age of 83, and 1986 was the 50th anniversary of her historic solo flight across the Atlantic. There are a number of books by or about her due out this year, but Mary S. Lovell's superbly researched biography is likely to be definitive. Not only did the author contact everyone still alive who knew Markham, she spent weeks with her in early 1986, interviewing her daily as they went through her private papers together. After Markham's death, Ms. Lovell pursued her research on various episodes Markham would not discuss, could not remember, or might not have been entirely honest about.
Saving the facts from the boil of gossip and time must be a Herculean job for a biographer, let alone presenting the details of a life such as Markham's in a way that might reveal her hard-to-know character. There is her beautifully imagined memoir, ''West With the Night,'' published by Houghton Mifflin in 1942 when she was 40 years old, a triumph of adventure writing, set largely in Africa, which Hemingway called ''bloody wonderful,'' conceding, ''this girl . . . can write rings around all of us.'' Nevertheless, he called her a ''high-grade bitch,'' reportedly because she wouldn't sleep with him when he was on safari in Africa and she had been hired to spot elephants for him from the air.
But he was right about her ability to capture the feel of Africa and write about it in voluptuous detail in a way he never could. After all, Markham had grown up wild and motherless in Africa, living close to the land and animals, spending most of her childhood in the constant company of local tribes. She was the only white female permitted to hunt with the male warriors, and could handle a spear as well as a rifle. She may at times have looked like Alice in Wonderland, with her smocked, European-style dresses and long beribboned yellow hair, but she also sat around tribal fires listening to the tales of the elders, spoke a number of African dialects and learned the hunting and survival skills of a young male warrior.
If you know, as I've now learned from ''Straight On Till Morning,'' that Markham had help in ''West With the Night'' from Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who was her lover in Hollywood at the time, you can see that Hemingway really hadn't a chance. She also had help from Raoul Schumacher, an American journalist she was married to for a while. Ms. Lovell devoted a lot of time and research to whether Markham wrote the book at all and, if she did, how much of it. Markham was raised by her busy father on a horse ranch, expelled from elementary school - the only school she ever attended -for rebellious behavior, was tutored off and on by governesses and by a stepmother she hated, and reported by some to be illiterate. Denys Finch Hatton, Isak Dinesen's lover, was also Markham's lover, and he taught her music and literature, but there has always been controversy over the extent to which her lovers' polishing and editing of her manuscripts became more than that: her astounding experiences in their better-groomed words. Ms. Lovell concludes that Markham did indeed write her classic autobiography, and I think she hopes to put an end to the debate raised anew recently in Vanity Fair. The book gives a fair account of both sides of the issue and readers can make up their own minds.
''Straight On Till Morning'' - the phrase is from ''Peter Pan'' - opens with a scene of heart-sinking poignancy: a frail, elderly woman of 83 sits in a small bungalow on the grounds of the Nairobi race course. Beryl Markham is chair-ridden, poor and spends her days drinking vodka and orange squash which, unbeknown to her, a servant has been watering down. She has an open wound on her arm, where a flap of skin has been torn away exposing nerve and muscle, but she is not much aware of it. Occasionally her mind wanders and, groping for a word in English, she finds it in Swahili instead. A cataract prevents her from reading. And, when she manages to rise from her chair and walk a few exhausting steps, it becomes an act of courage as great as any in her past. When Mary Lovell arrives to interview her each morning around 10, Markham revives a bit and insists that her interviewer act as a lady's maid, applying makeup and doing her hair as they talk. Markham also asks for a hairdresser to tint her pure white hair blond again. Much of her past seems lost to her. She is imprisoned by the present, her old age, her poverty, her trunk of mementos.

OnMedia: A year away from newspapers
Saturday marks the first anniversary of the last time I walked out the door at 4th and State, ending 23 years at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and nearly three decades in the traditional news business.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to take a buyout and go to OnMilwaukee.com. There's a connection here to the audience that seems more intimate than it did in my newspaper days. And there's a flexibility that's lacking in a big, bureaucratic newsroom.
But 12 months after leaving the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, I wish that things had changed more dramatically than they have at an institution I still care for.
I obviously have no say in the matter -- although I continue to hold a chunk of Journal stock, the remnant of what was supposed to be my retirement until the stock market -- and the newspaper biz -- went south.
First off, let's talk about some of the basic problems facing newspapers. Spare the baloney about the Journal Sentinel being too liberal (or too conservative, for that matter). That's not the problem facing newspapers.
Frankly, newspapers haven't really been selling news or opinions for longer than any of us have been reading them. Newspapers sold readers to retail advertisers, and sold classified ads to individuals.
News was often an expense, rather than a profit center in this old business model.
Classifieds have collapsed and the print retail ad market is down and not coming back. The cost of buying a newspaper, originally designed to cover little more than production and delivery costs, isn't enough to support large staffs of reporters and editors.
That's a done deal. It's over. The old days aren't coming back.
Theoretically, the Internet was a way to eliminate production costs and allowed newspapers to concentrate on advertising revenue. But the Internet ad dollars just aren't there the way they used to be for the print product. That makes it unlikely that a news operation the size of the Journal Sentinel can make a complete transition to an Internet-only product.
Newspapers seem to be falling into line with a plan to charge for readers to read them online. With the changing view of what "news" is, that seems like a doomed proposition. Sadly, for many readers 140 characters on Twitter may be enough to tell them what's going on. Are enough readers going to pay enough money to support the large staffs required to put out traditional news products?
None of this, of course, is unique to Milwaukee. It's happening everywhere as a generation has shifted into a new way of consuming news, and even new definitions of what news is. Page 1 of 2 (view all on one page)

"I simply can't understand why Journal Communications doesn't brand itself as THE place for news in Milwaukee, whether it's radio, TV, the printed page and -- in the point that would unite the three products -- the Internet." The answer is simple: Steve Smith - the man a recent Milwaukee magazine article had someone calling one of the worst 5 CEOs in America. He's run that company into the ground - all aspects of it.

No one could call the Journal "too" liberal or "too" conservative. They are so middle of the road, it's sicking. The Journal does not report news. They print useless stories. One of the main articles today is "offbeat couple gets married". Who cares? Other stories have a bit of news to them but then the majority of the article is about the "touchy, feely" human aspect. Report the freakin' news!

I am a person has read the paper since before I had a Milwaukee Sentinel paper route and the paper managed to lose me as a subscriber in the last year. There are a few basic reasons for this: - The Internet certainly has not helped things. If you need breaking news stories you'll get the information quickly on the Internet or from television. The paper has never really figured out a way to transition into this age. - The biggest problem with the Journal is content. If you're a political junkie you have no doubt noticed how poor the paper's editorial page is. Yes, the editorial page has a liberal bias, but the real issue is the quality of the opinions. They have one day that is simply devoted to letters from the editor. They devote a column a day to a "community" columnist who often writes about some obscure topic that only that person cares about. Their main conservative columnist is a guy who they got off the copy desk. James Causey often writes about "slice of life" types of things rather than anything thought provoking. In short, the editorial content is not good. I don't agree much with the New York Times editorial page, but I will read it because guys like Krugman and Friedman are compelling even when I do not agree with them. I'm guessing some liberals will appreciate some of the editorials in the Wall Street Journal. - The last problem the Journal has is that they do not have very good judgment in the news department. They have gone on ad nauseum about BPA. Does anyone really care about BPA? While Rutledge and Uemhoefer have done decent investigative stuff it is not uncommon to see the Journal scooped by guys like Bruce Murphy or Mark Belling. In short, the paper does not give a person a compelling reason to buy the product. If you want sports news you can go to espn. If you want entertainment news onmilwaukee and the onion's Milwaukee site are superior sources. If you want hard news, chances are you can get it elsewhere. If you want thought provoking editorials, chances are you won't find it in the paper. If the paper wants to survive, they have to understand that local coverage is where they can beat everyone if they want. They should be able to break local stories better than anyone and quite frankly they do not. They should be able to do entertainment better than this site does and they don't. Even the sports stuff is nothing special compared to the alternatives. Certainly the changing advertising landscape has not helped, but without compelling content they will continue to lose readers.

Makes sense to me. The Journal long ago gave away its news crown in pursuit of being the local version of USA Today. It abandoned what it should be: a complete source (the "complete" meaning all media) source for hard news. When you're being scooped by radio and tv-- well, that doesn't help your credibility. I really miss the pre-implosion Journal. Of course, I'm old enough to remember when the town's PR flacks would line up on State Street to wait for the (afternoon) Journal to emerge from the presses.

Rotator Cuff Repair
Your rotator cuff is a collection of tendons around the shoulder that allows the arm to reach forward and up. When these tendons are torn, it becomes painful or impossible to reach overhead.
Surgery on the tendons can often restore full arm movement and reduce pain. In most cases, your doctor can do arthroscopic surgery using a tiny camera to see inside the area without making a large incision.

Oklahoma Thoroughbred Retirement Program
Blanchard, Oklahoma
Contact Phone:
Contact Email:
[email protected]
The Oklahoma Thoroughbred Retirement Program (OTRP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization started by a veteran group of Oklahoma horsemen concerned about the future of ex-racehorses. While there is a great need nationally to help find new homes and opportunities for all ex-racehorses, the founders of the OTRP felt "charity should start at home." The OTRP is dedicated to providing new opportunities to Oklahoma Thoroughbred racehorses that have finished their racing careers. These opportunities include rehabilitation, retraining, adoption and/or permanent retirement. In addition, the OTRP works with other rescue groups across the country to help place non-Oklahoma horses.
While the OTRP has been successful in placing nearly 80 adoptable horses in new homes, there are a number of permanently retired horses that, because of injury, are not candidates for adoption. While they receive the best of care at satellite farms in Oklahoma at charitable rates, they make up the vast majority of the OTRP's ongoing, permanent monthly obligations.
The OTRP is an organization made up entirely of volunteers. There are no salaried employees, expenses for offices, or overhead associated with staffing. One hundred percent of the funds donated to the OTRP are used for caring for the horses. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Regular readers may recall this is hardly the first time that Amazon has been caught playing Big Brother with books purchased by its customers. Back in July 2009, Amazon made national headlines when it unilaterally erased thousands of copies of "1984" and "Animal Farm" from users' Kindles, saying the publisher didn't have the rights to sell those copies in the first place.
Orwellian, indeed.
Let's say you go into your local Barnes & Noble, buy every John Grisham and Anne Rice book on the shelves, and bring them home. Later, the bookstore decides that you did something wrong -- it won't tell you what it is, but rest assured it was bad -- so it breaks into your home in the middle of the night and takes all its books back. No notice, no permission, no refunds, and no explanation -- the deed is done because you accepted some agreement you didn't read that gave it that right.
(I've been looking on Amazon's site for the language that grants this right, and so far I've come up empty. Anyone out there in Cringeville want to point me to it?)
Amazon had better be careful. When faced with a corporation bent on enforcing arcane rules that only benefit itself, people will invariably find a way to route around it. Jon Lech Johansen (aka DVD Jon) wrote his copy-protection cracking code not because he wanted to illegally distribute digital movies; he wrote it because he needed a workaround to DVD regional encoding that prevented him from watching movies he'd legally purchased overseas when he went home to Norway.
The same thing will happen to Amazon's DRM. In fact, there are already tools that let you break the DRM. Smart users will find them -- and so will copyright thieves.
Then again, perhaps this is all a big mistake. Some six weeks after the Orwell debacle, Amazon agreed to restore the deleted books and give its customers a $30 gift certificate as an apology. Jeff Bezos was forced to post a mea culpa about it -- which I'm sure caused him to lose whatever hair he had left at the time -- calling the move "stupid, pointless, and painfully out of line with our principles."
Maybe Amazon will stop acting like a bureaucratic bully and actually try to figure out what went wrong here. Perhaps it's all a silly misunderstanding. But it'd better act soon before more customers decide that DRM isn't worth the hassle and seek less legal but more friendly alternatives.
[Update: According to a report by Norwegian news site NRK (and as reported by UK's The Register), Nygaard's account has been restored. We are still waiting for Amazon's official explanation as to what happened, however.]
Should Amazon have the right to take back books you've paid for? Post your thoughts below or email me: email@example.com.

A Reputation Built on Tradition
Jim Hill and his son, Tim, have built the reputation of Hill Nissan in the past 43 years; not only as an honest dealership, but one that believes in the traditions of family and community. That belief has led to many enduring friendships and generations of customers.
"We're selling to our third generation of Hill Nissan customers," said Jim, company President. "Some customers have literally bought 50 to 60 vehicles from us. Mom and Dad will buy several cars in their lifetime; not just their own, but often the first car for their children. When the children start buying their own automobiles, they know that they can trust the Hill name and the Nissan product, so they continue the family tradition of buying at Hill Nissan."
Hill Nissan, which moved to its 6401 Cypress Gardens Blvd. location in Winter Haven in April 2005, showcases the latest Nissan products in its 24,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility on 6.6 acres. "Hill Nissan offers a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere for both purchasing a vehicle and having your vehicle serviced," said Jim.
"We offer our customers everything they expect from a big dealership in a larger city with our facility and large inventory," said Tim, Executive Manager, "but we're still able to give our customers the best prices and attention to detail they have come to expect from a family-owned dealership in a smaller community."
Dad and son both agree that it's great to be a Nissan dealer.
"You just can't find a better vehicle," said Tim. "We have a great selection of new vehicles including the Versa, Cube, Sentra, Altima, Altima Hybrid, Altima Coupe, Maxima, X, GT-R, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier and Titan."
Since Jim came to Winter Haven, the Hill family has been deeply involved in the local community both through business and civic interests.
"We try to give back and support our community as much as possible since it has been so good to us," said Tim, noting the company lends its support to, and works with, many area schools, the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Guardian ad Litem program, the American Cancer Society and youth basketball leagues. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Hill Nissan purchases bikes and toys and delivers them to six different Polk County churches.
Jim's longtime love of golf impacts the lives of aspiring young golfers in the area through the sponsorship of a junior golf tournament.
"Business is like golf," said Jim. "In golf, the rules are self-enforced. Honesty is the name of the game. That belief transfers into business. When you are honest and treat people right, you will have a customer for life. These are our friends and our neighbors and, really, our family."

Bad weather...: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by Grtpyrlvr
Overall Member Rating
Bad weather...
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Our room was just fabulous! We had a delux ocean view verandah that had plenty of storage space and room for 4 of us (me, my husband, and 13 and 8 yr old girls). The first night I asked for two more pillows and I had two different people bring them to me and then the next day our stateroom attendant followed up with it. Every night our room was cleaned, turned down, had animals waiting for us etc.
Originally we had the 2nd seating dinner but once we asked to be switched it only took about 24 More hours to get the earlier one. We loved our serving staff but they seemed to be short handed? It took time to get drinks, we had to ask numerous times for ketchup, butter, rolls etc. they both just seemed to be running all over the place. We absolutely loved cabanas breakfast and lunch buffet. Their was food for all ages and preferences. Our only disappointment was one night we were exhausted and tried to go there for dinner and found it was a sit down service. We really did not want to wait to be served. Overall we truly enjoyed the food minus this popcorn soup they served one night at animators. It was "interesting".
As other have mentioned the pools were very crowded and finding a seat where you could watch your child was not easy. We ended up just trying to find people leaving and then leap frogging closer to the front row.
My kids tried the programs but neither were very enthralled with them. So they hung out with us for the most part.
In san Juan we really wanted to do a beach day and found an excursion listed as "family beach day" it was over 100 per person and included transportation, a buffet, and water rentals (boogie board, paddle boards, snorkel etc). When we got there it was an old hotel that was nothing to look at. The beach was littered with asst trash. All the chairs were locked down, not exactly clean, the buffet was so so, and the water was very rough for swimming, snorkel etc.
My only big complaint is I understand this was a cruise for kids but how about some discipline? There were kids running up and down our hallway at 11 pm at night. The kids above our room where jumping at all hours, playing on verandas and just plain s reaming. The would run in and out of the buffet line, I got hit by ice cream a couple of times because little ones were running around with ice cream. I just wish parents would of stepped up to the plate a little. I still made sure my kids used their manners and behaved on the trip.
Would we do it again? Yep but I think our next one will be a royal Caribbean one. Then maybe another disney after that. Less

|Seller's Description
A nice old 3 screw Ruger Blackhawk which has not had the transfer bar upgrade. 357 Magnum caliber with a 6 1/2" barrel. Bore and cylinder are excellent, timing is good and cylinder lock up is good. Manufactured in 1970 or so, bluing shows signs of holster wear on the muzzle end, ejector rod end, cylinder edges, loading gate, trigger guard and probably a little more. Firearm functions just fine, owners name and birthdate are scribed in the bottom but would polish out...they are not too deep. Screws have been tightened up a couple of times, grips are not cracked or chipped but do have dings and dents and left bottom side looks as though it was rubbing on something. Fingernail polish on the front sight but that comes off easily. One owner on this old girl, she belonged to a personal friend who now has Parkinson's to the point he can no longer enjoy his collection.No box or paperwork....Pa residents to pay sales tax.

Afghan Autopsy
(Page 4)
On the economic front, things were even worse. The Bush administration actually forgot to request any money for Afghan reconstruction in its initial 2002 budget. The final budget did allot $300 million to development, but for a population of 28 million people with such a devastated infrastructure, that was hardly a start.
Another key mistake in forming the Afghan state was the U.S. agreement to "pay the army." Unlike Iraq—which had a real army but which Paul Bremmer foolishly fired—Afghanistan had only warlord militias. Once the U.S. agreed to maintain these armed bodies, graft ran wild: the number of alleged troops controlled by each Northern Alliance "commander" accelerated rapidly.
"Suddenly [former Defense Minister Mohammad Qasim] Fahim was claiming that he had 20,000 and then, no, it was 50,000, or 70,000, or whatever number you could come up with," said a British intelligence contractor. "That became an awful lot of $30 a month per man going into somebody's pocket. And you can be damned sure the boys with the [AK-47s] weren't getting much of it."
Ridiculous shakedown schemes like that set the tone and soon the Afghan government had 32 huge dysfunctional ministries—all-subsisting on foreign aid. In fact, these ministries are so dysfunctional that despite all the graft and theft and leakage of funds, many ministries actually have 30 percent of their funds unspent. In other words, the chaos at the ministries is so deep they can't even steal their full allotment of aid money.
But why blame the Afghans? After all, they take their cues from their overlords. The Defense Department has admitted that it cannot keep track of the billions of dollars it has spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Government Accountability Office concluded that the U.S. seemed to have little idea of how many contractors were in the two countries or what they were doing."
Corruption is only part of the issue—the warped political theater of the Bush administration misshaped what development did happen.
"Ambassador [Zalmay] Khalilzad screwed it up," says Mary Louise Vitelli, a U.S. consultant to the Ministry of Mines and Industry (one of the five Afghan government ministries that control power generation). "Instead of rebuilding Kabul's three hydro plants, he wanted 500 girls schools, because that looks good. So now Kabul is still without power." Also, Kabul's power stations were Soviet built, so their repair would have mostly likely meant contracting Russian firms— not something Team Bush likes to do.
True, Coca-Cola has opened a bottling plant in Kabul and the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development has erected a largely unused five-star hotel in the capital. But in more important ways, Afghanistan's reconstruction is stalled out. The result has been joblessness, hunger and growing political rage that is now being harnessed by an array of Islamic guerrillas.
The connective tissue for all the Afghan guerrilla groups is Pakistan, its radical Islamist parties and its intelligence services. While the insurgents are fueled by internal dynamics, they also receive external stimulus from across the border. One reason Pakistan aids the Afghan insurgents is that Political Islam - a view of Islam as a revolutionary political vehicle and sharia as a solution to social problems - has considerable traction in Pakistan. In 2002, a coalition of six Islamist parties, the Mutahidda Majlis-i-Amal (MMA), became the second-largest group in Pakistan's Parliament. The Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence agency is heavy with Islamist fellow travelers who have long-standing personal and political links to the Taliban, Hezb-i-Islami and Al Qaeda. Since June, Pakistan has had a de facto truce with pro-Taliban tribal forces on the Pakistan side of the border.
A formal truce was signed on Sept. 5, which allowed Afghan insurgents to continue using Pakistan as a base. A month later, U.S. military spokesman Col. John Paradis announced that insurgent attacks had tripled in eastern Afghanistan along its border with Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal agency.
Pakistan continues to destabilize Afghanistan for several reasons: part of the issue is ethnic politics. In 1893, Afghanistan agreed to a frontier with British India called the Durand Line, after Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, who forced it upon Abdur Rahman, the so-called "Iron Emir" of Afghanistan. The Durand Line's main political impact has been to divide "Pashtunistan," leaving what is now a population of 28 million Pashtun speakers dispersed between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Afghanistan, the Pashtuns make up 40 percent of the population and have ruled the country ever since its creation in 1749. In Pakistan, Pashtuns are a large and poor minority. The last thing Pakistan wants is for the Pashtun minority within its borders to link up with or become the tools of a strong neighboring Afghanistan ruled by Pashtuns.
The other factor in Pakistani thinking about Afghanistan is India. As long as massive India threatens Pakistan, Pakistan wants Afghanistan to remain pliable so as to provide "strategic depth" or fallback room in case of a major land war with India.
Pakistan's support for Gulbuddin Hekmatyar dates back to 1975 when the ISI supported the young radical against the nationalist government of Daud Khan. With the Communist coup in 1978 and Soviet invasion of 1979, Pakistan's support for Hekmatyar and other Afghan guerrillas increased: CIA and Saudi money was managed by the Pakistani ISI. After the mujahedeen finally took Kabul in 1992, the country went into meltdown after four years of chaos and warfare. Pakistan backed the Taliban, who managed to subdue most of Afghanistan by 1996.
With the attacks of 9/11, discussion of Pakistan-Taliban relations turned on how Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf would soon be forced to ditch his Pashtun clients so as to serve the new U.S. agenda. Such a change of course would gain the general many concessions, but it would undermine the perpetual structural agenda of keeping Afghanistan weak.
So after 9/11, Musharraf played two seemingly contradictory roles: one as America's indispensable ally, the local broker in the war on terror. The other was the traditional role of destabilizing and dominating Afghanistan.

Here we go again,
By John Cunningham, November 29, 2006 at 4:36 am Link to this comment
As an old Vietnam veteran I can say I'm a bit qualified to comment on the opium/heroin aspect. People that use and sell drugs are financing terrorism. The users are totally absorbed in their own personal brand of pity and we're all expected to be understanding and get all touchy-feely. The dealers are in it for the money, they should be executed. All we have to do is look at our inner cities here in the States and we can see in a smaller way how much 'allowing' a drug trade benefits those local communities. Here in Philadelphia they shoot each other everyday, everyday. You have to drag users kicking and screaming into rehabs or jail. You have to do to dealers/growers what they deserve, you shoot them. Spray the heroin fields with whatever chemical is necessary to kill the crop. The heroin farmers will go through their withdrawal, they'll thank you for it a few years from now. Cut off the drugs you cut off the funding and they will eventually run out of bullets. It won't be pretty. How many more years are you going to make excuses for it?
City slickers/country bumpkins/bullies/builders
I got out of the army in '72, never thinking I would ever have anything more to do with the military. I'm now back in my comfort zone, American cities. Philadelphia and then in '81 moved up to Buffalo. In '84 I joined the National Guard. I had always heard jokes city people would say about country people and vice versa. But, it wasn't until I got to Buffalo when I now was living with people that did have a resentment toward their big city, New York City. It wasn't a hatred and was mostly expressed in a joking manner, but it was something that always seemed to be in the back of their minds. Not unlike how a lot of people have this hatred of President Bush in the back of their minds, seeming to me to be continually clouding their thought processes. I again found this back of the mind displeasure of things city when I went to Louisiana in '89 for a military school. Now, it was only for a month but I noticed that these Louisianians living 100 miles north of New Orleans read from the same script that many in Western New York were reading. Kind of makes me wonder if any of us living in huge population centers could really depend on help from National Guard units that might be tasked to help a city in case of disaster. Can you say Katrina? I'm not being accusatory, I'm just going by feelings and impressions that have built up over the last 59 years. Some totally amazing things go on in cities, as evidenced by the fact that terrorists don't blow up farms, they blow up cities. An Israeli diplomat made this analogy to explain the middle east. It was the bully on the beach story. Most middle easterners really don't do much but get themselves whipped into a froth and shoot weapons into the air, the bully on the beach. Israel builds a sandcastle on the beach and the bullies response is to go over and knock it down. Some other bully's response is to fly jets into the World Trade Center. Transfer what I'm alluding to to what's going on in Afghanistan and it seems to me we're dealing with easily threatened bullies. We all went through growing up years, how do you deal with a bully? Do the NATO countries have to wait until they walk into a major European city a nuclear bomb and we all wake up in the morning to find that Paris disappeared over night? 'They' don't like us because we do interesting things, they don't. They're oh so into allah but have no qualms about growing heroin. One way or another they're going to kill you. To paraphrase WW2 General Patton, we shouldn't die for our beliefs, they should die for theirs.

"That is not something I am thinking about, but if I had a good tournament and we won the national championship that would be a possibility," said Orton Friday. "I would say you would have to think about it. That would be a great way to carry on my career. That is something I have always wanted to do, so who knows what could happen."
While it has been widely speculated that both DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson would leave UK early for the NBA, Orton's departure would be a surprise to many and major blow to UK's 2010-11 plans.
Orton's numbers wouldn't seem to indicate he's ready for the next level. He's averaging only 3.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game with 50 blocked shots, including three against East Tennessee State here Thursday. He's barely averaging 13 points per game.
However, remember he injured his knee before the start of his senior year and missed that season. This year he's played behind Cousins.
Yet in recent games he's showing more and more of his game. He had six points on 3-for-3 shooting and two rebounds in 17 minutes in the SEC title game. Against ETSU, he had eight points, seven rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 14 minutes. He's shown he can run the court, rebound and block shots. His offense game has not been polished, but he's showing more scoring prowess and moves recently.
Orton thought he would be playing for Billy Gillispie when he signed with Kentucky. Instead, Gillispie was fired and John Calipari hired. Calipari had to re-recruit Orton, an Oklahoma star, and did.
The Kentucky coach told a story Friday about how he asked Orton what Gillispie told him when he was recruited and he said Orton told him he was told he would be a starter and UK's low-post presence to team with Patrick Patterson. Instead, he's had to play behind Cousins and has still helped UK win.
"And I'll tell you right now, Daniel will have options at the end of the year to make a decision on what he wants to do. Can you imagine? And I'm not sure that would have happened if he was on a team that was an NIT team. You hear what I'm saying? Now they're looking at him saying this kid is really, really good. And he is," Calipari said Friday.
"The other side of it is people love his attitude in that he's dealt with it. But he's a talented big player who blocks shots, who rebounds. And he's taken on his role to say I'm going to do whatever I need to do. At the end of the day, like I told him, it's worked out better for you. You're going to be fine. If you choose to do something, it's there for you. If you choose to come back, that's fine, too."
Calipari admitted he already knew about Orton when he came to UK because he played for the same AAU team that Xavier Henry, now a freshman at Kansas, did and Calipari was recruiting Henry for Memphis.
"I watched him play a hundred times and saw all the stuff. He's very skilled, too. You haven't seen enough of his shooting because of how we played. But you can put him in pick-and-rolls, he can shoot free throw shots, he can shoot 3's. He's elbow jumpers, he's talented," Calipari said.
But why has he emerged so much recently?
"I am gaining confidence that I used to have. It's about confidence in myself and playing within my role," he said. "I am trying to be more aggressive. Most people don't think I can score, so I am trying to develop my offensive game better and better. I like a fast tempo, so that has helped, too.
Maybe he was just sandbagging, waiting for the postseason to really show what he can do.
"I think that is pretty much it. I would say so," Orton laughed and said.
However, don't underestimate the improvement he's made or think it is totally unrealistic that a NBA team could be enamored with a 6-11 player with his skills despite his limited playing time this year.
"Daniel has come a long way from his improvement on offense and overall confidence just when he steps on the court. When he comes in the game he provides a lot of energy and makes up for what DeMarcus usually does when he is not in the game. Daniel is a great rebounder and big presence on defense. And he's just going to get better and better. That's probably the best thing about him," Patterson said.

PLEASANTVILLE — Two people were killed and several others injured Monday afternoon, when a car collided with a bus on Franklin Boulevard.
Authorities have not released the names or hometowns of the victims, pending family notifications. At least one of the dead was a woman, police said.
The car was heading north on Franklin Boulevard about 2 p.m. when it swerved and struck a NJ Transit bus going the other way, Pleasantville police Sgt. Emory Silipigni said.
The bus driver, whose name was not immediately released, tried to avoid a head-on collision, Silipigni said. The car scraped along the driver's side of the bus and spun around. The bus wound up on the sidewalk.
"We're lucky the bus driver was able to avoid the pole," Silipigni said of a utility pole the bus ended up in front of.
Two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and three other passengers were taken to the trauma unit at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, Silipigni said. There were about 10 passengers on the bus. The injured were taken to AtlantiCare's Mainland Campus in Galloway Township.
NJ Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. told The Associated Press that the bus driver and two passengers suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
The four-door compact car had severe front-end damage. The car also had damage to the body, but it was unclear how much of that was from rescue efforts.
Blood was taken from the drivers to test for drugs or alcohol, which is standard procedure in fatal crashes.
Members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Fatal Collision Unit were on the scene but would not comment.
Several people stood behind police barriers trying to take pictures and video of the scene, but none of them seemed to have seen the crash.
Witnesses are being interviewed, Silipigni said.
Emergency personnel from Pleasantville, Absecon, Northfield, and Galloway and Hamilton townships responded to the crash. Representatives from NJ Transit, including police, were also on the scene.
The medical examiner arrived on the scene about 4 p.m.
NJ Transit's Durso said the 502 Line bus had departed from the Atlantic City bus terminal and was headed to the Hamilton Mall.
The investigation is being conducted by the Pleasantville Police Department and the Prosecutor's Office Fatal Collision Unit.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Sgt. Stacey Williams of the Pleasantville Police Department at 609-641-6100 or Detective Joseph Rosiello of the Prosecutor's Office at 609-909-7692.

Thanks Jan
We don't have any of that information! My Dad was told next to nothing when growing up and the only certificates he has are his dad's death certificate and marriage certificate. We don't even know her name, address or anything so can't do a census search, we are getting a copy of the birth certificate to try and establish some facts. Unfortunately, my father and I are the remaining Hughes, there isn't anyone else that can help us so we're a little stuck at the moment.
Thanks for the help and suggestions

Did his mother marry a "cousin" also with surname Hughes?

Rebranding for a barber shop based in Oxnard, California.
The shop has been open since 1961. Although it caters to a mostly younger (and arguably hipper) crowd now, many of the original woodwork and furniture is still used, maintaining an old-school feel. The goal of this rebranding was to give the shop a fresher feel without alienating its older clientele.
Thank You!

Our Heart in the Matter (Mark 7:14-23)
Tony Felich, September 18, 2011
Part of the Exposition of The Gospel of Mark series, preached at a Morning Worship service
Many believe you can effect change in people by a change on the outside. Jesus is clear in saying change is not effected from the outside in, but rather from the inside out.
I. The problem with primary emphasis on the externals
II. The importance of understanding the truth about your heart
III. The need for the work of God's Spirit inside your heart
|Same day:
|« The Place of Tradition
|Jesus is Astonishing (Part 1) »
Mark 7:14-23
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person." (ESV)

Exploring Geothermal Energy in Iceland
"This week, we're podcasting to you from Iceland. The country has been getting a lot of attention lately -- and not just because of its severe economic problems. Iceland gets 78 percent of its primary energy from renewable resources, with 62 percent coming from geothermal. Now that more countries around the world are starting to get serious about deploying renewables on a meaningful scale, policy makers, business leaders and journalists are flocking to the country in greater numbers to learn from the Icelandic experience. In this podcast, we're traveling around the country to speak with some of the leaders in the geothermal industry.
Iceland's President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson describes the uniquely intimate relationship that Icelanders have with geothermal energy.
Reykjavik Energy's Audur Björg shows us around the Hellsheidi Power Plant and gives us her view on the history of Iceland's use of geothermal."

How to keep your sanity and your family
Barry Dee - Tustin, CA
I started riding when I was 5 years old and I really never have looked back. When I was young it was a way to get somewhere faster than walking, running or skateboarding, which I did all of too.
Then it became necessary when I got that paper route. When I was 12 I even turned to one wheel for a while; I was a wheeling king who kept a Schwinn Stingray's front wheel in the air for nearly 3 miles. Later I got a unicycle just to add to my repertoire.
After a hiatus it was a road bike during college . As an Urban Planner and Real Estate lover I found it perfect for seeing the sites but covering a lot of ground. My second bike is still with me. His brand is a Vitus and that's his name too. He just turned 29 years young. I recently calculated we have traveled some 50+ thousand miles together. He is a faithful companion who never says much and seldom complains although on occasion he has gone a little flat. Our greatest challenge and accomplishment was completing the Seattle to Portland ride with some 10,000 others; 207 miles in just about 11:15 minutes include stops.
During all the time I had been a cyclist only two things stop me from riding; my health and when I became a Father. When that happens you have to put away the thing you developed a passion for as a child. Even Peter Pan had to be responsible from time to time.
I realize now after all these years that Cycling was the most responsible thing I could do. My therapy if you will. Cheaper and more effective then any shrink could every be. I often start a ride with problems on my mind but end with solutions and a good healthy glow. It recharges my mind, my body and I dare say my soul and spirit.
To date I have done a Century ride in every decade of my life except for my first ten years. Now at 60 I am preparing to keep that streak alive.blog comments powered by Disqus

QOTSA Talk Conflict With Jay Z, Making Of "…Like Clockwork," And More [Strombo Show Audio]
(Listen to the full show above. The QOTSA interview starts at 1:40:00)
On Sunday, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and Dean Fertita took to CBC Radio 2's "Strombo Show" to talk about their recent encounter with Jay Z and their experience making their 2013 album, …Like Clockwork.
While discussing QOTSA's performance at Jay Z's Made in America festival, Homme directed some harsh words at the rapper/entrepreneur. "That guy's a kook you know," Homme said, "he has his security frisking the bands on the way in."
This frisking, which Homme said he had never experienced at any other concert, prompted some outrage in the QOTSA frontman. He refused to play the festival if his bag was searched, and addressed Jay Z saying, "You shouldn't frisk my guys, you should fuck off."
On top of Jay's security practices, Homme also lashed out at the rapper's attempt to use the band to market a brand of champagne. Jay Z apparently presented the band with a bottle of bubbly as a "present," only before asking them to take a picture with it for social media. "I said, 'that's not a present — that's a marketing tool,'" Homme fumed, "I destroyed it, 'cause I thought it was rude overall."
Though these accusations could be valid, they come as a shock because of who they are directed at. As Homme asks in the interview, "People never say anything bad about Jay Z, do they?" Aside from a beef with Nas in the early '00s and MC Hammer's pitiful "diss track" from a few years ago, Homme is right, Jay Z's career has been remarkably free of criticism.
Elsewhere in the interview, Homme and Fertita talked about their new album. According to both of them, QOTSA was in a very low spot at the beginning of the …Like Clockwork sessions, but that actually ended up inspiring most of the album. The theme of the album, according to Fertita, is "you don't really know someone until something goes wrong," and from the sound of it, QOTSA had many things going wrong during the recording process. Beginning with several years of failed recording sessions, and escalating with interpersonal drama within the band, Homme admits that the band was "in hell" when they began making …Like Clockwork.
Fortunately, the band members' personal struggles brought them closer, and even allowed them to joke with each other. As Homme eloquently put it, "You start finding out your way to do comedy in hell. And in the end that's all you remember, the good jokes in the hell club."
The fun continued when QOTSA brought some friends in to help with recording, including Dave Grohl and Elton John. On the subject of Elton's appearance on …Like Clockwork, Homme elaborated. He told the band, "I got this weird phone call on a Sunday afternoon… Elton John wants to jam," and they agreed to invite him to the studio. Particularly for Fertita, the band's keyboard player, this was a dream come true. He received an Elton John songbook at the age of seven that "changed everything" about the way he played piano, and thus "freaked out" when Elton showed up. According to Homme, having Elton in the studio "was a chance to take one of our heroes and do something weird with him."
Listen to the rest of the interview above, in which Homme and Fertita discuss their band's relationship with radio stations, their reverence of Iggy Pop and why they think Andre 3000 should win an Oscar for his recent portrayal of Jimi Hendrix. Check out a video preview of the interview below.

Mark Webster, the managing director of Bloodstock auctioneer William Inglis & Son, has described last week's auction sale results as a "turning point" for the breeding of Australian stayers.
Many Australian horses are now bred for shorter distances, which has caused a dearth of local hopes for big races such as the Melbourne Cup as owners looked overseas for well-performed stayers. So Inglis introduced a special staying horse section at its Melbourne premier yearling sale, with sales activity far exceeding expectations.
The Blue Riband stayers session recorded a clearance rate of 85 per cent at an average price of $116,564. By comparison, the clearance rate across the rest of the auction was 76 per cent and average sale price $76,000 – up 10 per cent from 2012.
Webster was particularly buoyed by the stayer sales.
"Previously, the auctioneers were reluctant to even mention a horse was bred for longer distances because of the fear there would be no interest from buyers, but this year it worked very well because there was a lot of interest. It knocked our socks off, to be honest, the interest."
Webster said there were buyers from Victoria, NSW, South Africa and Singapore. He said the prices compared favourably with the sums being paid for overseas horses, though he admitted it would be several years until any champions emerge.
"It will take some time for the results from this to show, but it does show the Australian breeding industry there is a path to market for breeding stayers. I think it is a turning point for the industry."

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I'm trying to recover from divorce after a 20 year marriage, repeated sexual assaults from him, lack of support from family and friends.... How can I best recover and keep my sanity?
Seeking expert counseling is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help with this situation.
Your recovery has a lot to do with the symptoms that you are feeling.
A prolonged period of abuse can cause traumatic emotional damage which can be healed.
Can you enumerate some of the "symptoms" that you feel?
Are you easily startled?
Do you become even more so when you are around anything, any place, or any person that reminds you of your husband?
And, do you feel more isolated from other people?
I am sorry for so many questions but am trying to understand you state of mind. I think that I understand but I need to confirm some thing.
And isolated?
Do you have poor concentration?
Do you get irritable??
Are you less interested in activities that formerly interested you more?
When you say "panicky", does that include rapid heartbeat, difficulty catching your breath, tightness in your chest, fear of heart attack or death, sweating?
Those are panic attacks.
Cumulatively you have a complex anxiety disorder that often comes with the kind of longterm and harsh abuse that you have suffered.
It is called Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and can be treated with therapy; rather than with drugs.
If the panic attacks are serious (and they usually are - frightening or terrifying but not physically dangerous) then your physician can give an antianxiety medication that works to stop them in minutes - but the drug - alprazolam (Xanax) must be used sparingly for miraculous results without addiction.. Panic attacks are part of PTSD.
Let me give you the diagnostic criteria for PTSD so you can see for yourself.
309.81 DSM-IV Criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
A. The person has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both of the following have been present:
(1) the person experienced, witnessed, or was confronted with an event or events that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self or others (2) the person's response involved intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Note: In children, this may be expressed instead by disorganized or agitated behavior.
B. The traumatic event is persistently reexperienced in one (or more) of the following ways:
(1) recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections of the event, including images, thoughts, or perceptions. Note: In young children, repetitive play may occur in which themes or aspects of the trauma are expressed.
(2) recurrent distressing dreams of the event. Note: In children, there may be frightening dreams without recognizable content. (3) acting or feeling as if the traumatic event were recurring (includes a sense of reliving the experience, illusions, hallucinations, and dissociative flashback episodes, including those that occur upon awakening or when intoxicated). Note: In young children, trauma-specific reenactment may occur.
(4) intense psychological distress at exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event.
(5) physiological reactivity on exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event.
C. Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and numbing of general responsiveness (not present before the trauma), as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
(1) efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated with the trauma
(2) efforts to avoid activities, places, or people that arouse recollections of the trauma
(3) inability to recall an important aspect of the trauma
(4) markedly diminished interest or participation in significant activities
(5) feeling of detachment or estrangement from others
(6) restricted range of affect (e.g., unable to have loving feelings)
(7) sense of a foreshortened future (e.g., does not expect to have a career, marriage, children, or a normal life span)
D. Persistent symptoms of increased arousal (not present before the trauma), as indicated by two (or more) of the following:
(1) difficulty falling or staying asleep (2) irritability or outbursts of anger (3) difficulty concentrating (4) hypervigilance (5) exaggerated startle response
E. Duration of the disturbance (symptoms in Criteria B, C, and D) is more than one month.
F. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Specify if: Acute: if duration of symptoms is less than 3 months Chronic: if duration of symptoms is 3 months or more
Specify if: With Delayed Onset: if onset of symptoms is at least 6 months after the stressor
That is covered in item 5.
I have worked with many PTSD clients and panic attacks are very normal.
May I recommend a workbook for you to familiarize yourself with the process and help you choose a therapist?
I do not recommend a psychiatrist because they usually use too many medications.
I shall recommend two different ones for two different approaches:
You can overcome this but it needs work and professional help, but both of these books can start you off.
I shall keep you in my prayers for recovery, and you will, with guidance, fine you way back.
Warm regars,
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC

The staff were SO accommodating! Both shuttle drivers were extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay here if I ever go back to Alaska. Location.
Good rate. Convenient to shopping and attractions. One bed had food crumbs left from previous guest. Had to request clean sheets. Used towel from previous guest left hanging on bathroom door.
Airport shuttle was great, especially the driver. Took us to our main hotel the next day. Wasn't worth the $180 I was charged. Day I stayed price drop to $80 which was fair. Breakfast tasted a little off and no tables to eat at. Room was outdated.

(WESTERVILLE, OH — September 27, 2012) Jane Wittke, senior planner for the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI), has received a 2012 Honorary Member Award from the National Ground Water Association for her leadership in promoting groundwater protection.
This award is presented to persons of distinction outside the groundwater industry who have contributed a special service. It will be presented in December at the NGWA Groundwater Expo and Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.
Wittke began with OKI in 1978 and started working on groundwater issues in 1985. She develops plans to address water quality problems and works on strategies to protect drinking water sources in an eight-county, tri-state area. More than 600,000 people in the OKI region depend on the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer for drinking water.
Nominator Bruce Whittenberry of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works said Wittke led the "immense" effort to update the Water Quality Management Plan for multiple counties in the region.
"Jane is a strong advocate of groundwater protection and spearheads the OKI Groundwater Committee," Whittenberry said. "Jane has enormous tenacity to push through the barriers that slow federal funding and resources to ensure important water management work is completed. The communities and residents of the OKI region are fortunate to have her working on their behalf."
Among the issues she grapples with are disposal of pharmaceutical and personal care products, state and federal regulations and legislation, and the impacts of pumping trends and drought conditions.
She is a member of the Water Management Association of Ohio among other organizations. Her distinctions include receiving one of the first Regional Public Service Awards given by the American Society of Public Administrators in 1998 for her work in drinking water protection.
NGWA, a nonprofit organization composed of U.S. and international groundwater professionals — contractors, equipment manufacturers, suppliers, scientists, and engineers — is dedicated to advancing groundwater knowledge. NGWA's vision is to be the leading groundwater association that advocates the responsible development, management, and use of water.
