President Nicolas Sarkozy was out and about yesterday, pressing the flesh of enthusiastic supporters of his re-election campaign. In one particular shot he's seen limbering up for a kiss on the cheek from a female fan. What could they be saying to each other?
Can you provide us with a caption for this photo of Nicolas Sarkozy greeting a supporter on the campaign trail?

Mallett isn't sending the greatest message to the coaching staff.
Fans booed Brian Hoyer on Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns coach is playing the Grinch for anyone hoping to see Johnny Manziel take over the team's starting QB job.
Will Manziel or Hoyer start next Sunday?
The rookie QB found the endzone playing in relief of Brian Hoyer.
This raises the important question: Who's still buying Johnny Manziel jerseys?

Sri Lanka 5-411 at close of play
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Sri Lanka were 5-411 when bad light forced an early finish to the third day of the second cricket Test against Australia in Cairns.
At stumps, Thilan Samaraweera was not out on 53 and Romesh Kaluwitharana was on 30.
Sri Lanka trail by 106 runs after Australia's first innings of 517.
Play was called off after the third stoppage for bad light, just before the scheduled finish. Overall about 90 minutes of play was lost.
Sri Lanka resumed today on 2-184 and captain Marvan Atapattu reached his 15th Test century as he and Mahela Jayawardene (43) added 124 for the third wicket.
They batted through the first session but two balls after lunch Atapattu was caught in the gully by Matthew Hayden off Glenn McGrath for 133.
Jayawardene was also out on his lunchtime score when he miscued a hook shot and was caught and bowled by Michael Kasprowicz six balls later.
At that point, Sri Lanka had lost 2-0 in eight balls and were 4-280 - still 38 runs shy of the avoiding the follow-on.
But Tillekeratne Dilshan and Samaraweera settled down to continue a solid batting display from the tourists, getting them to an early tea break when the first stoppage for bad light occurred.
Immediately after tea, Dilshan (35) was out when he played too aggressively against Shane Warne and was caught on the second attempt by Kasprowicz at mid-on.
However, Samaraweera found a good ally in the form of Kaluwitharana, who survived a blow on the forehead from Jason Gillespie when he was on eight.
Samaraweera brought up a patient half-century just before play finished.
It took almost three hours and came off 131 balls with five fours.
Warne has 2-117 to be Australia's best bowler and has 522 Test wickets - five shy of equalling Muttiah Muralitharan's world record.

My impression of SPACE 2013 is actually a series of compliments.
First, there was Bryan (I didn't catch his last name) from Cincinnati, who told me my current artwork looks a lot better than my stuff from 2006. Generally, I think it's better, but not wildly better.
Second, I got a couple of good comments on Downs issue 3, "Teckeli" (with art by Boisterous Brent Bowman). One guy said it was a great update of Lovecraftian themes.
On to compliments from me: One of my new favorite things is Parisel313, who kinda bullied me into paying $1 for an unknown number of one-page gag strips. They're the kind of middle-school margin-doodle comics I remember from the early days of SPACE, but really witty, and with just that right touch of outsider art. Check out Parisel313.
I read a few of those Saturday night, so I was able to shake his hand Sunday and thank him for making the sale.
But my best went to a guy named Gabriel Dunston of Firelights Media. His wife bought one of mine, so I wandered over to his table to see his stuff. We bonded over our childrens' love of My Little Pony and, even though he's an Applejack fan, I picked up one of his children's books.
It's called "There's a Monster in the Bathroom" and my daughter loved it. We read it three times, and we actually acted it out. She ran into the bathroom, pretended to see a scary monster, and I pretended to get it.
So I got to tell Gabriel this in person, and I got to see a grown man do a completely unironic fist-pump. "That made my day," he said.
Mine, too.
3 Responses to "SPACE 2013: Compliments"
I agree on Parisel313. He knew what he was talking about and had some really good stuff. I would like to see his strips collected in a book and regret not buying more than a $1 worth.
Brian's last name is Hagen: http://brianhagen111.tumblr.com/ Sadly, he did not bring Emma Peel with him Saturday.
Wow, I'm a Bully? C'mon! How else can I sell my stuff!
I got nothing but respect for you, both your cartooning & your sales game. Keep on trucking.

:Queen West:
After dark or afternoon, Drake always comes through. Toronto Life calls it a "hidden gem" for brunch, perhaps because it isn't the first place that comes to mind?
I love Drake's brunch on many levels, starting with the fact they take reservations – a rarity for great Toronto brunch spots. Once there, service is always pleasant and whether you're seated in the cafe or the bistro, it's laidback.
I spent this beautiful Sunday morning with the chicest twosome I know – trust, there isn't another couple in Toronto that is more in vogue than these two. The three of us had a nice catch-up over a shared plate of Toronto's famed warm blueberry scones:
|Flaky + sweet
Simply sunhsine on a plate
Us ladies had Benedicts – Drake's traditional with pork loin, and their Caleb with smoked salmon:
|The arugula ("rocket") was a nice touch.
The lone man had the Lumberjack:
|Three eggs, sausage (or bacon), home fries, toast and buttermilk pancakes. That's a mouthful...
This Sunday morning, no rain was falling; just a lovely day for three friends, brunch, and a stroll down Queen Street. Parfait, j'aime ma vie.

I won't post the article because it's 4 pages but it is an extremely interesting read.
jist? (sorry I'm lazy)
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
Thoughts of big paydays danced in their heads. European basketball is another reality.
It's a good read.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Good read. Thanks!
It is a good read, but really it's interesting to look at expectations.
If you had asked them in 2005 if they would play basketball professionally for $8,000/month. How many of them do you think would have jumped at the chance.
For a recent college graduate, $48,000/year really isn't too bad.
I know sports make us all go gaga over the salaries, but the asst. coach was right, they did make themselves a lot of money. Without the tournament run, they may not have had the chance to play professionally at all.
The other thing that many people don't realize about European pro teams is that they pay nearly 100% of all living expenses during the season. Rent, transportation, food, gym memberships, language classes, activities for wives and families. It's really not a bad way to be.
Not sure I'd want to play in Eastern Europe or the Middle East, however.

Drug suspect arrested while sitting in barber's chair
Seneca police officers arrested a 49-year old man as he sat yesterday in a chair inside a W. N. 1st Street barber's shop. Fountain Inn resident Antron Dendorick Earle was charged with distribution of crack cocaine on both January 23 and 30. In each instance, the arrest affidavits allege that Earle distributed crack cocaine to undercover operatives working on behalf of the police department. According to the police report, officers McClure and Hunnicutt spotted Earle yesterday afternoon operating a motorcycle on W. N. 1st. They followed the motorcycle to a barber shop, saw Earle park the bike and run into the shop.

Gauge is not critical for this project; a tighter or looser gauge will yield a smaller or larger scarf.
Description from Knitty.com: Never mind hip knitting; to me it's all about being square. Square as in modular knitting. Square as in entrelac. The blockier the better, I say. So it only made sense when I decided to design a scarf that it should have angular characteristics. Though this scarf isn't of the modular persuasion, it's close enough.

64-bit Android On Intel's Atom Processor
Apple's 64-bit A7 processor made a big splash, and now it's Intel's turn. Intel recently showed off a 64-bit version of Android running on the 64-bit Bay Trail Atom processor, according to CNet.
Apple's A7 chips will feel some 64-bit heat from Intel and Android next year.
Intel is readying a 64-bit Bay Trail Atom platform for Android, according to Hermann Eul, Intel's general manager, mobile and communications group.
Intel won't be alone, though, making a run at Apple. A report earlier this month said Samsung will launch a flagship smartphone with a 64-bit CPU in 2014.More at CNet
No big shocker here, it was just a matter of time before Intel and Android both followed in Apple's footsteps. Android users will certainly appreciate the move to 64-bit though, it could spur a huge wave of Android device upgrades similar to what seems to have happened with Apple's iOS devices.
Linux and Your Kid
Network World has some insights into how to introduce kids to Linux.
With my daughter nearing 3 years old, the topic of "how best to introduce a young kid to computers" has been on my mind a great deal. And since my home (and work) computing life revolves around Linux, the ideal is to introduce her to the wide, wonderful world of Linux and Open Source.
There are really two big hurdles here.More at Network World
I think it's a wonderful idea to teach kids about Linux. Starting them early gives them a broader computing experience than if they are just exposed to Windows or OS X. This will serve them well later on in life as they move into the workplace.

Senator Chuck Grassley issued the following statement after portions of a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General review on inappropriate conduct by United States Secret Service personnel, and others, were reported by media sources. Grassley pressed Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan for an independent review by the Inspector General in his first conversation with the Director soon after the alleged Colombia prostitution scandal and other misconduct was reported.
"It looks like the Inspector General's report confirms our fear that there is a broader history of inappropriate action by personnel within the Secret Service. Even worse, the IG report casts doubt and suspicion on the statements that national security wasn't at risk. The Secret Service will have a lot of work to do in the coming months and years to create a culture that respects the important job the agency is tasked with and to again earn the trust of the American people."

I just want a little advice, these psd files where rejected because they are not well designed and aesthetically pleasing to be accepted under ThemeForest's acceptance guideline. It's okay by me but i want to know what you'll think of this.
I've made an osCommerce, 9 PSD 's in 3 different colors.
1) http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/color_01-h9s06.jpg
2) http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/color_02_categorie-pgaun.jpg
3) http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/color_03_review-eY7cT.jpg
So i really don't know what to change because in my eyes it looks like the way a commerce theme should look, clean and fresh.
And another thing is that i wont change a thing on these files, i rather give them away for free.
Hoping to get some honest feedback,
Regards, Hein
Theme looks perfect! Just do something with that huge search area
Tank you zigmat, i will consider this, more feedback is appreciated.
I think it looks pretty good, I would go ahead and code it instead. But I do second that the search area is on the large size and the left end of the input is a little odd looking
I think it looks pretty good so far but it does need some adjustments. The logo looks like it isn't centered properly and as other people have mentioned already, the search bar is kind of gigantic. It actually pulls attention away from the logo which is really bad in this case.
The Navigation links are spaced out pretty far from each other and I would recommend making the divider between them a lighter color than the links themselves. You want the divider to provide subtle separation and not to distract from the links themselves. The same goes for the advanced search, shopping cart, etc. navigation.
For the item blocks, the headline/title gets some attention pulled away from the buttons and little banner at the bottom. You might want to make the headlines/titles stand out a little more by providing some sort of separation. You could do that by using even a really light background as a bar across the whole container (does that make sense?). Then you might want to make the font bold or something and/or maybe a different color like strong black.
Anyway, I hope some of that helps. You have a really nice template going but even after the edits I'm not really sure if it would be something for the PSD category. I would really like to see it in the HTML category though!

The State of Legal Education: Are Law Profs Really to Blame?
1 comment:
- AnonymousMarch 18, 2014 at 7:47 PM
Is it settled that we're supposed to uniformly blame legal academia for the situation? I can't completely subscribe to this.ReplyDelete
Has everyone forgotten about some of the worthless undergrad majors that prospective 0Ls take in order to get high GPAs? History? Literature? Political Science? What demand does the economy have for the graduates who only attain a BA in the field?
In taking these worthless majors (without regard to employability), which serve no purpose in the economy, a prospective law student starts down an academic path with few options upon graduation.
Herein lies the problem. It's the "you can always go to law school with our [insert bullshit degree here]!" sales pitch. As graduation approaches, chances of transferring into a major with employability in the real world decrease. And the salesmen who pitched law school hasn't bothered to research the market for five years.
Therefore, it only makes sense that these graduates head to law school, even if employment numbers are dismal. A 0L with 3.4 GPA in history, literature, or political science still has a better chance of landing a legal job with a JD than a non-existent job with their BA in history, literature, or political science. The misconception that these "feeder" degrees are anything more than useless is the problem. Fix this problem, and the big-picture will improve.
Apparently this is revolutionary idea, so hold on to your hats.
Undergrad academics, instructing bullshit majors, training young minds to do what nobody will employ them to do after graduation, deserve blame. Legal academics can't be 100% at fault. Obviously, the complicity of "educating" students where the "education" has no payoff is deplorable. Law professors alone do not monopolize this deplorable conduct.
A thus-far-unallocated portion of the blame must lie with undergraduate academia. Few actors are as deplorable as those who are content to fill seats for the sake of retaining funding within their university, while disregarding employability and conveniently avoiding discussion of employment prospects with students. These actors are not necessarily limited to law school.

Penn Hills Council postpones decision on Imagine trailer extension
Peter Randazzo of Penn Hills was among the parents who attended a Penn Hills Council meeting last year in support of the installation of temporary modular classrooms on the Imagine Penn Hills campus.
Last week, Randazzo was back in front of council and far less supportive of the classroom trailers, particularly after new principal Carolyn Davis could not say for certain whether the trailers were equipped with sprinkler systems or whether they had fire alarms that were wired into the main school building.
A host of issues were raised at council's June 10 meeting, where Imagine officials, through subsidiary Schoolhouse Finance LLC, were requesting a one-year extension for the conditional use permitting the placement of the classroom trailers.
The original conditional use will expire June 30.
Imagine has added a new grade level each year as students have progressed — next year, the school's third-graders will become fourth-graders, and a new group of kindergarten students will be starting.
Attorney Alan Shuckrow, representing Imagine, said school officials were requesting the extension because their original plans for accommodating students did not work out: the school secured a use variance for classroom space at 10070 Frankstown Road, but Shuckrow said the property had recently gone into receivership and was not currently usable.
Imagine officials also were hoping to purchase additional Penn Hills School District buildings — the charter school is currently housed in the former William Penn Elementary — but none of the other buildings in the district are currently available.
"The school looked diligently for another site, and found one, but it will not be ready until the 2014-15 school year," Shuckrow told council.
The property, which Imagine has under a sales agreement signed June 6, is 1700 Universal Road, the former Anter building.
The property was an elementary school at one time, more than 40 years ago.
For the 2013-14 academic year, Shuckrow said Imagine officials are able to accommodate a fourth grade and a new kindergarten class if they are permitted to keep the modular classrooms for one more year.
Deputy Mayor Sara Kuhn criticized what she perceived as a discrepancy in Imagine's proposed plans.
"You came here last year and said you needed these trailers because you weren't able to properly house students, even though the (building) held many more children when it was a public elementary school. And now you're saying that next year, you'll be able to add a grade without expanding your square footage at all?" she asked.
Davis said the plan is to temporarily convert an art room and a student-resource room into classrooms.
"We are where we are, but we do have a workable solution," Shuckrow said, adding that Imagine was willing to add an additional condition: that under no circumstances will the school be permitted to request an additional extension for the trailers.
With regard to the new building, Shuckrow deferred to Andy Schaer of Tusk Development in Carnegie, who said granting the extension would allow enough time "to do what we need to do to be ready by next fall … because it was built initially as a school, it has good potential to become one again."
Schaer said this would be the fifth building Tusk has converted into a school.
At the suggestion of solicitor Bruce Dice, council will bring the matter back at its next meeting. Dice suggested including a local fire official who could speak to the issues Randazzo raised, before making a final decision on the conditional-use extension.
Shuckrow said in an email to the Progress that all of the modular units are in compliance with municipal codes, "as confirmed by last year's issuance of permits for those units ... once we receive the extension to use the modular units for an additional year, we will proceed with an expansion of the intercom system and an amplification unit that will ensure fire alarms within the main building can be heard in the modular units, even though these items are not required by the current building codes."

All posts in wealth building
A self-directed IRA, first let's backup and talk about traditional retirement plans. What a traditional retirement plan looks like is typically your 401(k) that you have with your employer, a lot of times held with Fidelity Investments. I think they're probably the biggest sponsor of 401(k) plans in the country. Your employer encourages you to contribute money to your retirement plan, 5, 10%. That money goes into your 401(k) retirement plan held with a sponsor like Fidelity Investments. Fidelity Investments then gives you a couple investment options. They basically tell you you're going to choose between the Fidelity Freedom Fund or the Fidelity Income Fund or the Fidelity Stock Fund, and a fund manager manages those mutual funds. The success of your 401(k) or your retirement plan is dependent on the fund manager's ability to pick and choose the investments with inside that mutual fund, which is also inside the 401(k) that you have chosen.
Your investments are very limited. You usually don't even have the option of choosing stocks. It's usually between several mutual funds, which then chooses the stocks for you. In essence, your retirement is dependent on Fidelity and their ability to pick mutual fund managers, and the mutual fund manager's ability to pick the investments. You are completely dependent on them for the day that you retire, and hopefully that there's enough money in that 401(k) or that retirement plan to supplement your retirement.
What a self directed IRA does is give you a lot more control over your retirement planning. What you can do with a self directed IRA is invest in not only stocks, mutual funds, bonds, but also real estate, gold, antiques, anything that you feel is a good investment, it's basically self directed, it gives you complete control over your retirement planning. Let's go down the list. Number one, the self directed IRA needs to be held with a qualified custodian. There's two ways that you can establish a self directed IRA. I have a self directed plan with the Entrust Group, E-N-trust Group is the platform, the custodian where my self directed IRA is being held.
There's two ways that you can fund that. You could do a qualified transfer. A lot of times individuals will say, "I want to have more control over my retirement plan. I'm going to take my 401(k), cash it out and move it, t's a qualified movement, it's going from one qualified plan to the next, over to my self directed IRA." The other one is basically a direct funding where you open up the self directed IRA and you start contributing on an annual basis that way.
Investments outside typical investments, you can invest, like I mentioned, in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, antiques, other paper assets, anything that you think worthy, as long as the investment, and this is a real estate video so we are talking about real estate here, as long as the investment is non owner occupied, so you can't use your 401(k) money and put it in a self directed IRA to fund your owner occupied single family home, that's just not going to be the way it works. It needs to be in investment property.
The next line, as you can see, all of the assets, all of the cash flow, anything that the investment property generates, needs to go back inside that self directed IRA. You cash flow, you have expenses of 3,000, you are collecting $4,500 in rents, you cash flow $1,500 a month. That $1,500 needs to go back into your self directed IRA because it is, again, a qualified retirement plan and none of that money should be removed until you are of retirement age and you can make a qualified distribution to yourself. You can buy the property directly or make loans to other investors. One of the things that you can do with your self directed IRA is you can buy the property directly, you are the sole owner, or you can partner with other individuals or you can loan money to other individuals, other real estate investors, and charge them an interest rate and charge them points or whatever you and that investor agree upon.
You must stay within the guidelines of the custodian to stay in compliance, and again, it is a qualified plan, you want to make sure that you are not taking in your distributions, you are not using the investment or the assets for your benefit today. It is for the reason that this is a tax deferred and you are not paying any taxes on it, it is to benefit tomorrow, during your retirement, or excuse me, some time in the future. That is what a self directed IRA is. In summary, it gives you a lot more control over your retirement planning, your future. It takes the responsibility of your retirement out of somebody else's hands, i.e. Fidelity, and their fund manager, and puts you in the driver's seat and gives you a lot more control over your future outcome.
Hopefully that was helpful.

First talk a little bit about what equity is. Equity is the value that you have in your home, the difference between the market value of the property and the debt on the property. If you have $100,000 home, a home that's worth $100,000, you owe $60,000 on that home, you have $40,000 in equity. Simplest explanation, 100,000 minus $60,000 in debt. If you sold the property today, you'd walk away with $40,000. Million dollar home, you have $300,000 in debt, you have $6, $700,000 in equity. One million, pay off the 300,000. The equity that remains is 700,000, which is yours.
Let's talk a little bit about how to use home equity loans and home equity lines of credit to tap into the equity in your home and to accelerate your wealth building process. First, let's talk about home equity loans. A home equity loan you borrow at a fixed amount. The payments are fixed. Your interest rate is fixed. The payments are fixed. You get a lump sum today and you are basically making payments over the 10, the 15, the 20-year term of the home equity loan, so you know what your payments are every month, and it's predictable. No closing cost is listed on this screen, but please pay attention to that. You're never going to take out a mortgage and have there be no cost. A lot of times, it's just rolled into the back end. You take out 100,000, but your mortgage goes up by 103,000 or 104,000. There are always going to be costs there. Just pay attention to what they are and how does it affect your overall loan.
Interest, usually tax deductible. As of right now, the current laws in the United States allow for interest on mortgages to be tax deductible. The word usually is thrown in there because who knows if those laws are going to change in the future, but as of right now, interest on mortgage or your mortgage interest expense is tax deductible.
What is the difference between a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit? A home equity line of credit, you do not receive a lump sum. Basically, what you do is you're basically taking $100,000 and tying that up. You basically are using the equity almost as a credit card. In that sense, you charge or you write a check for $5,000 and then you pay off that $5,000. Now you have $100,000 in available credit once again. You buy a car with your line of credit, and you spend $25,000 on that car. As you slowly pay off the $25,000 loan, that credit becomes available again. It's like a credit card. It's a more revolving line of credit than it is a loan. A loan you get a lump sum, payments are equal over the term of the loan. The line of credit acts more like a credit card, and also your interest rates are variable. They are usually capped or tied to an index.
You'll have, I would say, if you start off with a 6% interest rate, it may be capped at 9, but over the life of this home equity line, you may not know exactly what your payments are. Your payments are going to be based on how much you spent or how much you borrowed and what the interest rate is at that particular time. Why would you use one versus the other? I'll give you two examples of how they are used by investors to accelerate wealth building. Let's say, for instance, I have a neighbor who wants to sell their property to me. They're in no particular rush. I am very interested in the property. It's maybe a multifamily and I know it'll cash flow if I can just get in and rehab the property and put it back on the market with some new tenants. I'm going to tell my neighbor, "I'm going to take some equity out of my home, and I'm going to now use that equity as a down payment for a new mortgage so I can buy your property."
In that case, I'm going to go after the home equity loan. I have a purpose. I already know what my purpose for taking this equity out of my home is to go purchase a new home. I would rather my payments be fixed so I can calculate them and I know what they are every single month. I"ll have two mortgages to worry about, two additional mortgages to worry about, the home equity loan, plus the new property loan. I'm most likely going to use the home equity loan as a down payment for my new loan to purchase my neighbor's property. Depending on where you are in the country or how much equity you have in your home, if you have enough, you can borrow the entire purchase price from your home equity loan.
Why would I use the home equity line of credit? I do not have a neighbor who's looking to sell, but I know I want to buy and investment property in the future. I want to have access to the cash. I know that when I make an offer on a property, a lot of times, I have to move quickly. I want to have access to the cash immediately and be able to write a check with no going to the bank. I already want my funds to be available so I can move quickly, and I do not know my purpose as of yet. I'd probably be in that situation be looking for a home equity line of credit that I can take, borrow against my house, and in anticipation of using that for some future purpose.
To sum it up, I would say home equity loan is I understand my purpose. I'm going. My purpose is there. I have an existing need for this money or an existing want. I'm going to go take out the loan. I'm going to make my payments fixed and predictable. I know that I want to do something in the future, but I'm not quite sure what it is just yet, but I want to have access to quick cash, I'm probably going to use the home equity line of credit to do that in the future.
One other way that you can tap into your home's equity that's not exactly listed here is doing a cashout refinance. Let's say you have a house. It's worth $500,000, and you owe $200,000 on that piece of property. Instead of having two mortgages, instead of having your first existing mortgage and then a home equity loan on top of that as a second mortgage, you basically do a cashout refinance. You want to pay off the existing 200,000 and then take out an additional 100,000 or 50,000 or whatever it may be into one new mortgage. My new mortgage is going to be 300,000, paying off the old mortgage of 200,000, and putting $100,000 into my pocket. That is called a cashout refinance of your mortgage, and that is another way that you can tap into cash, as well.

Undeclared War Becomes Hauntingly Real
Vietnam is still with us. It has created doubts about American judgment, about American credibility, about American power..So we paid an exorbitant price for the decisions that were made in good faith and for good purpose.
- Henry Kissinger in Stanley Karnow's Vietnam : A History
Still No Clear Goals For Victory
By 1968, the resolvable Vietnam conflict had become an agonizing, maddening WAR. In a five-year period, troop numbers in South Vietnam rose from 16,000 to over 540,000 and President Johnson's approval rating plummeted from 83 to 39 percent. The superior U.S. war machine faced a new type of war in Vietnam . Isolated ground troops faced the ugly realities of guerilla warfare in tropical jungles. The random destruction of massive bombing campaigns morally distanced America from our allies and hardened North Vietnam 's determination to unite their country. Ultimately, the costs of the Vietnam War would split the nation apart.
Costs of War
Financial Cost: $150 million
Servicemen Put to the Test
Vietnam was a war that asked everything of a few and
-Myra MacPherson, Long Time Passing:Vietnam and
A Young Man's War
Vietnam was an old man's war fought by the young - largely true for any war, but compounded by this war's statistics. The average "grunt" was 22 years old, four years younger than in World War II. Soldiers in Vietnam experienced 200 more days of combat each year than their WWII counterparts. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the 1960s armed forces were the most educated in U.S. history. Two-thirds of the men were volunteers, not draftees. Racial percentages of those who served in Vietnam were approximately 88% white, 11% black, 1% other. But statistics reveal only cold numbers.
A Young Man's Hell
Mutual support was a key to survival. Soldiers shared resources as well as the salvage of their comrades' broken bodies. They shared leech-filled rice paddies surrounded by thick, sharp elephant grass that could hide an entire enemy unit; stifling heat of tropical jungles; ceaseless red muck that never allowed feet to dry out. Pain and fear and isolation; C-rations, friendly fire, recon, R&R, pride and death - this, they all shared. The immense physical and psychological damage for Vietnam War vets is still being measured.
Pivotal Year 1968 Rocks America
January 23, U.S.S. Pueblo : North Korea captured the U.S.S. Pueblo , and held captive 82 Navy Intelligence crew members 11 months for violating territorial waters.
Hundreds of U.S. airmen were captured after being shot down over North Vietnam . Their captors refused to allow Red Cross inspections nor the exchange of mail. In the most notorious prison known as Hanoi Hilton, prisoners suffered isolation, brutal torture, beatings, poor food and insufficient medical care.

More than a thousand drivers of Minis are travelling from London to Brighton on Sunday as part of an annual event.
2009 is the 50th anniversary of the first ever Mini. It's the 24th London to Brighton run, and it's thought around 2,500 cars are taking part this year.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the first 50 cars to leave Crystal Palace in London were special ones. Each one was built in a different year between 1959 and 2009.
Of course it can be a bit of a squeeze getting into some Minis, although at least it's not a long drive.
Let's hope this driver has got the right car. You wouldn't want to forget where you'd parked with that many Minis in one place!

Be there!
"Eighty percent of success," said Woody Allen, "is showing up." Motivated perhaps partly by this, and definitely by Nicole's plan for Olympia Detroit (cited here), we now have a scheme for education reform:
We eliminate all the actual course work. All the student must do to graduate is show up. On time, every time.
For elementary school, the child must be at the library at 8:00 a.m. every weekday for the whole school year except holidays. Once there, he may read, color, or turn around and go back home. But that's it. Everything else is up to the parents to require.* Show up every day for the school year, and he can advance to the next grade. Do it eight times and he can start high school.
As for the asterisk:
* This part is actually pretty important.
And perhaps the hardest to pull off.

Chemist wholesaler
The two businesses would continue operating as standalone units, Sigma said on Wednesday.
Chief executive
"Central Healthcare also provides Sigma with an opportunity to diversify its service offering by establishing an independently operated wholesale and retail channel that can leverage Sigma's financial strength and national infrastructure to expand and develop new business models to meet the changing needs of the Australian pharmacy landscape," Mr Hooper said.
Central Healthcare has annual sales of over $200 million and is expected to generate earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $3.5 million.
Sigma, which supplies prescription medicines and over the counter goods to community pharmacy brands like Guardian and Amcal, is poised to report is full year earnings, for the year ended January 31, on Thursday.
Analysts expect Sigma to report sales of just over $3 billion, EBITDA of $75.6 million and net profit of $47.6 million, according to Bloomberg.
The full-year result will get a one-off boost of between $8 million and $10 million from a December property sale.
In the half year ended July 31 2013, Sigma's revenue rose 3.1 per cent to $1.5 billion, but bad debts and online costs dragged the company's profit down.
Central Healthcare acts as a wholesaler to 170 stores across Victoria, NSW, ACT and Queensland. The company also owns and manages the Pharmasave retail brand.

Injured Ellis to miss second Test against NZ
Page Tools
Australian captain Liz Ellis will miss Australia's second Test against New Zealand and have an MRI scan on her injured left leg today.
Ellis fell heavily after clashing with Kiwi goal shooter Irene Van Dyk during Australia's five-goal win over NZ in Sydney on Saturday, injuring her leg midway between her calf and ankle.
Ellis said the game was one of the most physical matches in which she had been involved.
With Ellis out, goal shooter Catherine Cox will now take over the role of captain for the second game in Perth tomorrow.
Among all the rough and tumble, Australia won Saturday's match 54-49, thanks to excellent defensive work by Ellis and Janine Illitch and a lot of sharp shooting from Cox, who nailed 37 goals from 41 attempts to claim player of the match.
Ellis is aiming to be back for the third and final game in Melbourne. She has already spoken to young defender Bianca Chatfield, who could take up her goal-keeper duties for the second game of the series.
"I'm pleased that Bianca has the opportunity again. She came on when I went off on Saturday and did really well," Ellis said.
After Australia had lost the previous four encounters to NZ, Ellis said it was a relief to grasp a win. "The only disappointing thing from the game is that we didn't close them out," she said. "We only won by five goals.
We will work harder to get better."

Sharing a bond with those who fought beneath the waves, a group of submariners from the United Kingdom paused Friday to pay tribute to the crews of the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, the first sub in history to sink an enemy warship.
During a brief ceremony in a grove where the three crews are buried, 78-year-old Dennis Wade of the Portsmouth Submariners Association placed a poppy wreath at the gravesite and then saluted. The poppy is a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
Three other British submariners and a group of Confederate re-enactors looked on.
Friday marked the 148th anniversary of the Hunley's ill-fated mission. Two crews died while the sub was being made operational. Then, in February 1864, the hand-cranked Hunley and its third crew left from Sullivans Island and sank the Union blockade vessel Housatonic off the Charleston coast.
But the Hunley never returned from the mission and, a dozen years after it was raised from the Atlantic, the reason for its sinking remains unclear. The historic vessel is being conserved at a conservation lab in North Charleston.
"To any submariner in whatever nation there's a brotherhood because they are subject to the same type of intense training and operating in the same conditions," said 67-year-old Bob Lewis of Portsmouth, who served in the Royal Navy for 35 years. "It takes a special person to be a submariner and not everyone makes the grade."
Prior to the ceremony, the association members saw the Hunley.
"Two crews lost their lives in bringing this vessel into its operational state and when it was in operation it was the first successful submarine combat mission," he said.
But would Lewis have gotten aboard the Hunley as a member of its third crew?
"I would like to think so," he said. "The thing that drives a submarine is its crew and the team spirit that generates in that crew."
Paul Jevons, 52 and a veteran of 22 years as a submariner in the Royal Navy, said he felt sorry for all the crews.
"It's the early development of the submarine service. If it wasn't for them, we may have never been in submarines ourselves," he said.
In the center of the grave site is a large monument to one of the Hunley crews. Beside it, black cloth shrouded two more monuments of similar size.
Those are dedicated to the other two crews and will be unveiled on Saturday, said Randy Burbage, a re-enactor and member of the South Carolina Hunley Commission.
"It's pretty humbling to be a descendent of a Confederate veteran and realize the Hunley crew and the mission it accomplished is internationally known and renowned and admired," he said.
The association has been sending a wreath to the Hunley gravesite since 2004 where the last crew was buried in what has been called the last Confederate funeral. Lewis said the members were glad they finally got a chance to visit the submarine and gravesite.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
If the soccer pitch were an interrogation room, there would be no question about Ricardo Clark's role: bad cop, with some badness to spare. Clark, the defensive backbone of the Dynamo midfield, is an indefatigable enforcer. While teams from more temperate locales prune in Houston's humidity, this Georgia native motors around the field as if he gets a bonus for each time he suffers heatstroke. His passion sometimes lands him in trouble — see his suspension in 2007 for kicking a totally deserving Carlos Ruiz of FC Dallas, or the red card he earned in the 32nd minute during June's U.S.-Italy match in South Africa. Nevertheless, it's nice to have the guy no one wants to play against suiting up in orange.
Any respectable hockey team needs an enforcer — especially in the minor leagues, where fisticuffs are much of the draw. Luckily for the Aeros (and speedy scorers such as Corey Locke and Krys Kolanos), they've got one of the best in six-foot-six ice-boxer Matt Kassian. Like many a good enforcer, Kassian isn't much of a skater, but his fists have gained him YouTube notoriety while clearing the way for Locke and Kolanos to attack the nets without worrying too much for their safety. Kassian racked up an impressive fight card of 20 this season, according to www.hockeyfights.com, no small feat considering he appeared in just 56 games. (Props are also due to mean-as-hell defenseman Mitch Love, who, while lacking Kassian's intimidating physique, managed to lead the AHL with 34 brawls.) Further cementing his reputation as a goon among goons, Kassian took home the "Sickest Beard Award" in the Aeros' post-season facial hair contest.
A reporter once questioned the "athleticism" of Philadelphia Phillie John Kruk. "I ain't an athlete, lady," Kruk growled. "I'm a baseball player." Many of the Astros fit that bill — you need look no farther than left field, where Carlos Lee stamps his pasture nightly, to see a classic example. Hunter Pence is one of the rare exceptions. Despite last season's sophomore slump, it's hard not to be excited about what the future holds for the Astros' young (at least by this aging club's standards) right fielder. The rangy native Texan has all the tools – power, speed, a sniper-rifle arm – and is still learning to harness them. And this year he is really coming into his own, with a career-year pace for home runs, RBIs, steals and runs scored.
The sights, the sounds, the smells — who doesn't enjoy a good bowl every now and then? Well, from 8 a.m. until midnight, Sundays through Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, you can get your bowl on at The Palace. Reasonable prices, automatic scoring and kid-friendly bumper-bowling make this alley a winner. Plus, we love the snack bar — great burgers, sandwiches, salads and pizza, not to mention beverages of the alcoholic (and nonalcoholic) variety. And, of course, Palace has good weekly specials and birthday specials. So what are you waiting for? Get on your bowling shoes and get going.
There's a certain kind of shock that comes when you luck into a friend's great Astros ticket and you look at the price. Fifty bucks? For a single night at the ballpark? But the truth is, you can have yourself a great night at Minute Maid Park and not put much of a dent in your pocket at all. (We do advise filling up before the game, though; some tickets are cheap, but hot dogs and drinks are another story.) There's always a slew of great offers on the team's Web site: Maybe it's buy an adult ticket for seven bucks, and two kids under 14 can get in free with you. Or maybe it's a ticket, hot dog, soda and chips all for $10. The point is, bargains are there to be had. "Sure," you scoff — you old scoffer, you — "But the seats are probably in the last row near the roof and in fair territory." To a degree, true, but not completely. And the fact remains that Minute Maid is about as easy as it gets when it comes to the time-honored tradition of "improving" your seat. There's the Home Run Alley standing room, of course; there's also typically a wide selection of field-level seats sitting empty. Wait a couple of innings and then look like you belong.
Rockets coach Rick Adelman had a great year, leading Houston to the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time in 12 years. Still, you can't ignore Katy High School football coach Gary Joseph. In 2007, Joseph led the Tigers to a perfect season, capped with a state championship. Then he lost almost every starting player to graduation. When this year's team lost its initial two games for the first time since 1984, losing in the second week 47-0 against The Woodlands, it looked like the Katy dominance was done. But Joseph retooled the team, and after demolishing a team from Florida in a nationally televised game, Katy lost only once again. In December of last year, the team won the state championship, the first back-to-back titles in the school's storied football history.

Much unclear about Wood rescue
Page Tools
More than a week after his miraculous rescue from the hands of Iraqi fanatics, much remains unknown about just what happened to Australian hostage Douglas Wood, and what the Australian Government did to secure his release.
Amid the claims, rejections and counterclaims and the Government's refusal to respond to questions from The Age some bare facts are uncontested.
The first is that, in the words of Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, Wood is an "exceptionally lucky man". The odds are, if you are taken hostage in Iraq, you will die.
Moreover, the Iraqi and United States troops who raided the Baghdad home where he was being kept under a blanket had no idea he was there.
They were engaged in a fairly standard "sweep and cordon" operation in one of Baghdad's most volatile suburbs and had been directed to a possible site of insurgent activity. A firefight ensued and bullets ricocheted around the house, but Wood emerged unscathed.
The second uncontested fact is that Australian special forces participated in several military raids, including on the home of Sheikh Hassan Zadaan, as they searched for the Australian engineer. Also undisputed is that Zadaan was detained with his aides and interrogated for several days.
But the Government is adamant that the SAS-led raids were neither "botched", nor did they impede efforts to secure Wood's freedom.
Defence Minister Robert Hill said: "Wood wasn't found; that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a botched raid. It means that Wood wasn't there at that time."
Zadaan has said his aides, including his son, were beaten and mistreated during their detention while $US230,000 ($A300,000) was stolen from his home. The Government denies Australians did anything "inappropriate". There have been unsourced quotes from Government figures dismissing Zadaan's connections with the kidnappers, or his value as an intermediary in the Wood case.
While this may be the assessment now, it wasn't at the time. The SAS troops would not have been involved in the raid if Zadaan had not been a "person of interest".

Breckenridge-Wynkoop growth: Read the Colorado Department of Revenue's position
Breckenridge fans at the Kalamath location raise their glasses to more beer capacity.
Mark Manger
Last Friday, June 29, the Colorado Department of Revenue approved a complicated plan that would allow Breckenridge Brewery to grow beyond a 60,000-barrel limit in this state by using a provision known as an "alternating proprietorship."
And Breckenridge has been rapidly approaching that limit, particularly since the company merged its financial operations with those of the Wynkoop Brewing Co. under one umbrella company in early 2011. Together they now own nine restaurants -- most of them beer-themed and four operating brewpubs, which could brew up to 80,000 barrels of beer this year.
The combined company had tried to get the 60,000 limit raised in the legislature this year; when that failed, it looked at opening a second brewery out of state. But instead, it went with the third option: figuring out a way to restructure the operation.
Read the story in this week's Westword:
"Breckenridge Brewery hopes to expand the law and its business"
And here's the Department of Revenue decision released last Friday.

Tara Reid – murderer?
A new wrinkle has appeared in the case of George Smith, the man who went missing while on a honeymoon cruise with his wife in the Mediterranean. It appears that Smith ran into Tara Reid just hours before he fell overboard from the Royal Caribbean ship last July.
On MSNBC, Smith's wife said that Reid posed for a picture with her ecstatic hisband while they were visiting the Greek island of Mykonos, where Reid was filming an episode of her E! channel travel show, Taradise. "He finally worked up the courage and asked her for a picture, which I still have," Hagel-Smith said. "He was so proud of that picture."
Now I'm not saying that Tara Reid had anything to do with the disappearance and possible murder of George Smith – hmmm, on second thought yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It may seem out of character, but again, this is Tara Reid. She's basically some sort of alcoholic vampire. She'd screw a moose for a double-shot of tequila. Hell, she might screw the moose anyway.

Mantatee Molester Arrested
Molest a manatee and you may find yourself behind bars. Gloria Garcia Guiterrez, the woman who was caught riding a manatee in Florida a couple of months back, was taken into custody this weekend. Authorities showed up at Sears, where the 53-year-old works, and booked her. Guiterrez admitted to taking a joy ride on the endangered sea mammal, and now faces up to six months in jail. She is currently out on bail.
I can't say I blame her. Manatees are irresistible. But alas, the law protects them from being intentionally annoyed, molested, harassed or disturbed. Hey, I want a law protecting me from all that. [LA Times]

"The Beat Hotel": Ginsberg, Burroughs And Corso In Paris
"The Beat Hotel," directed by arts documentarian Alan Govenar, captures a time from 1957 to 1963 when Beat writers lived with other artists in a seedy hotel in Paris managed by a Madame Rachou. From this hotbed of creativity and bohemianism emerged some of the writers' greatest works, including Allen Ginsberg's "Kaddish," William Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" and Gregory Corso's "Bomb." Ginsberg moved there with his partner, Peter Orlovsky, while his poem "Howl" was the subject of an obscenity trial (see my review of the film "Howl.") The main narrator is Harold Chapman, an English photographer who captured the scene with his camera (he also reminisced about life at the hotel in the Guardian). The documentary provides an insightful and entertaining look at a group of writers and the freedom and creativity they found abroad.

Since the early days of television, one of the principle challenges has been to deliver transmissions of high quality video with consistency. Throughout the world, several video standards, notably PAL, SECAM, and NTSC have attempted to achieve such quality. Since just after the Second World War, the United States has been committed to NTSC, named for the National Television System Committee that adopted it. This analog television system uses 525 lines of resolution and 30 frames per second but is constrained in no small part by the complexities and inconsistencies involved in transmitting audio and video over the air waves. Hence, its nickname among technicians: "Never The Same Color twice in a row."
After more than a half century of use, NTSC transmissions will be replaced in the United States by a new standard, ATSC [Advanced Television Systems Committee] on February 19, 2009. After that date, full-power stations will broadcast digital signals only. For more information about the deadline and its possible impact, link to www.DTV.gov. As it turns out, 3,000 low-power stations will not be making the transition immediately owing to its costs. To see the new digital transmissions, owners of older analog television sets will need a decoder or set-top box to translate the new digital signals into an analog signal that the older TVs can understand.
Above all, don't worry and don't fall for unneeded upgrade schemes. Princeton's Campus Television network will operate as normal. Even without a converter, you will still be able to receive some channels over the airwaves via the analog network. If you use a digital tuner from Comcast, FIOS, DishTV, etc, you will not have to take any action whatever. But if your analog TV is using basic cable without an external tuner, you will need to add one.
The encoding and transmission of images and audio in a digital bit format has many advantages. The delivery of audio and video will be much more consistent. Colors won't fluctuate, recordings won't vary from the original, and digital pictures will be free from the "ghosts" and "snow" that can affect analog transmissions. Moreover, the digital formats also facilitate a range of new commercial ventures. For example, you can record content or use a Tivo service to record for you. And digital providers offer free and for-pay on-Demand services that make available large libraries of movies and special features. You can watch them, pause your viewing and resume later, or even rewind to review a favorite scene.
At his April 30 Lunch 'n Learn seminar, David Hopkins emphasized that hooking up to a digital service does not mean that all programming will be in high-definition. Services simply provide digital signals. To obtain high-definition programming, you will need to subscribe to a more-expensive tier of service. The preferred new wide-screen format is delivered in a 16:9 aspect ratio that emulates a movie-going experience.
Prices for High-definition televisions range from $499 (for 23″ sets) to $70,000 (for sets that now reach 103″). Hopkins stressed that consumers ought to pay attention to each set's contrast ratio, an assessment of its ability to display a full range of color. He recommended a minimum of 2000:1. All high definition models have some disadvantages, says Hopkins. Rear projection sets are relatively bulky and can be difficult to view well from the sides. To avoid costly maintenance, such sets should be regularly vacuumed. LCD's are much thinner but have relatively slow refresh rates. Plasma displays provide a deeper black than LCD sets but will often experience problems with burn-in. Projectors generate large images but contain loud fans and have expensive bulbs that will need be replaced regularly.
If you are interested in wall-mounting your set, Hopkins recommended that you work with a professional, especially with larger models. When you decide to add a separate audio system, consider 5:1 Dolby Surround Sound.
And lest you think that Comcast, FIOS, and DishTV are the only games in town, Hopkins recommended that you take a look at online providers, notably Hulu, Joost, CNETTV, and tomgreen.com. Be prepared for a new addiction.
The podcast and presentation are available.

His demented phrenology monologue to django all but seals it.
You worked with Steven Spielberg in Lincoln and Quentin Tarantino in django Unchained.
But for the most part the Academy has neglected his finest performances: The Departed, Revolutionary Road, django Unchained.
Yet to describe the plot of django as absurd and outlandish, as many reviewers have done, misses a crucial point.
The lyrics were confusing—what was the connection between beating said body part and django?
Best Moment: When Galifianakis asks Christoph Waltz, "Do you say the 'n-word' more in django Unchained or in real life?"
And did you really think you were going to get away with Thelonious or django?
Bored by the conversation, I began tapping out the rhythm to a django Reinhardt-Stephane Grappelli tune playing in the background.
The film follows django as he fights not only against the evils of slavery but also to reunite with his lost love.
While many are outraged at the detainment of django Unchained actress Daniele Watts, not all are shocked.

From: Annelies Van Boxel <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Music Publishers Alamire are delighted to announce a new facsimile:
Choirbook for Philip the
Fair and Juana of Castile
Ms 9126, Brussel, Koninklijke bibliotheek
Edited by Eugeen Schreurs, Introduction by Fabrice Fitch
ISBN 90 6853 142 5, $110, 122.71 euro, order number IA14
Ms 9126 is one of the most significant
manuscripts for sacred polyphony of
the first decade of the sixteenth century. It was copied at the Dutch
court, intended for Philip the Fair. Most of its content originates from
composers with direct links to Philip's chapel, either through membership
at the time of copying (La Rue, Agricola, De Orto), or through proximity
with it during that period (Josquin).
The main part of this choirbook
consists of 3 masses and 4 motets by
Josquin Desprez and 4 masses, 2 magnificats and 2 motets by Pierre de la
Rue. This handy manuscript also contains a further 2 masses, a magnificat
and 4 motets by Agricola, Barbireau and De Orto. The manuscript was
produced in the workshops of Petrus Alamire which is a guarantee for superb
illustrations of excellent quality. One of the miniatures is a unique
portrait of Philip the Fair and Joan of Castile.

Of the many baffling things ABC has done this year, the one that puzzles me the most is their continued treatment of Tuesday like it's some less important night of their schedule. They schedule Tuesday like it's Saturday. There's zero … Continue reading

SCANDALs Shortened Order Should Force ABC To Make Other Midseason Moves:
ABCs midseason schedule seems to tread the same areas that haven't worked for them recently. They seem intent on filling holes with ill-fitting shows. They have kept the post Modern Family slot as a revolving door of new comedies not … Continue reading

I only tried a sample of the GLS once so I don't really recall it very much. I do use the Hair Cleansing Cream and it's opaque, not clear. Also it doesn't lather very much at all. That could be what you got instead?
I'm sorry, that really sucks. Yeah, from what I remember the GLS lathered more. The HCC is definitely like a whitish, opaque color and doesn't lather alot. If you got swaplifted that is really poor. Who does that crap.
I'm very sorry to hear what happened to you, that's a pretty horrible experience. However, there's no way the real Jessicurl product would've smelled like 'sour coconut', so you either got a very old product or (more likely) something else in that bottle. Any chance you could get your money back?
If you EVER again have a tangling problem like that caused by a CO, just get the juice of one lemon or lime and pour it on your hair and the gunk should come right off. When I started CG I had that problem with a Suave CO, it wouldn't detangle and the more I added the gummier and more tangled my hair got, but I saved my hair from damage by literally getting out of the bathtub to go squeeze some lime juice in the kitchen which I worked straight through into the mess in my head.
I agree, the hcc I use is opaque not clear! If it truly is the gentle lather, it could have gotten water in it over time. Her lable says not to get water into it b/c it could disrupt the balance or whatever. My tub of Too Shea has gotten some water in it & it smells a little "off" now.
