Here's on way to earn the respect of your new teammates – save the bullpen by tossing four shutout innings of relief in your team debut. That's what Heath Hembree did last night during a 19-inning marathon that the Boston Red Sox ended up losing to the Los Angeles Angels.
The loss takes nothing away from Hembree's heroic effort, who did more than his fair share to keep Boston in the game until the wee hours of the morning. The four innings were the most he had pitched in a game since college. "Honestly I was getting a little tired, but I was just trying to give everything I had and just empty the tank," Hembree told reporters after the game. He did give it all he had in holding it together for a bullpen that had run out of options. It's a wonder they didn't let Brock Holt pitch an inning with the way things were going. Why not? He's done just about everything else for this team. Instead John Farrell turned to Brandon Workman in the 19th inning, who immediately gave up a walk-off homer run to Albert Pujols.
So what does Hembree get as a reward for his impressive effort? He's been sent back down to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room for a fresh bullpen arm. Hembree would have been unavailable for at least a couple of days after throwing 62 pitches, so Boston needed reinforcements for it's fatigued bullpen. Sometimes this game isn't fair. However, Hembree's debut proved he belongs in the big leagues and should rejoin the team soon.
Hembree was acquired from San Francisco in the Jake Peavy trade last month. He's a hard strike throwing reliever with velocity that can reach the mid-90s to go with a plus slider. He's been a closer before in the minors and has the potential to fill that role in Boston some day.

Each year I do the annual Screenplay Christmas carol I say it will be my last, and each year I keep coming back for more. Thanks to luverly_5pam's suggestion from last Christmas, I give to you a rapping duet involving DexX and myself. This year it is Christmas in Screenplay, to the legendary tune of Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC. You can see the video clip here and sing along to the new Screenplay community lyrics. Hope you enjoy it.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
It was December 24th on Screenplay Ave in the dark
When I seen a man chilling asking where'd your gaming start
I approached very slowly with my definition of game
Looked at his list, oh my God, pile of shame
But then I was illin because the man had SimCity
And a bag full of wishes, less games were shitty
So I turned my head a second and the man had Gone Home
But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on Hearthstone
I picked the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "PS4 launch"
A million units sold, earned hundreds of G's
Time to say goodbye, farewell, to Yamauchi
But I'd never steal from Nintendo, cause that ain't right
So I'm going to help the Wii U and buy one this night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa with news of Witcher 3
It's Christmas time in Screenplay, 'bourne
Ron Curry's lyricising about classificat-ourne
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Don't Starve as a gift under Christmas trees
Decorate the house with lights so bright
Blood's on the ground, Bioshock Infi-nite
In the Towncraft is the yule log
Playing the bad guy, you villainous dog
The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of DexX
But each and every year we get shit like Star Trek
[Chiptune Christmas melodies play]
Smoo and DexX
Launches so loud and proud you hear it
It's Microsoft time with that backdown spirit
Jack Frost chillin, the FTL out?
And that's what Gamescom is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the Last of Us is devoid of cheer
My name's DexX with Flag in my hand
And I'm chillin' and coolin' just like a GTA Man
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say
Smoo and DexX
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
- Steve "Smoolander" Smoothy

At a 2012 Memorial Day barbeque in Stowe, a handful of Vermonters and their friends began a political argument that in just a few weeks turned into a national petition calling for a nonpartisan approach to reducing the nation's $16 trillion debt. The petition has almost 139,000 signatories to date.
Biddle Duke and Rob Foregger, two Stowe residents who started the petition, describe themselves as "accidental activists." They view America's total national debt as the most important issue in politics because touches "everyone and everything in America."
"We got together on my porch, talked in terms of keeping it real, and asked: What could a small group of friends do that's scaleable?" recounted Foregger, a businessman who founded the online bank Everbank.
The six friends, who are conservatives, libertarians and Democrats, drew up a citizens' petition on change.org, a popular petition portal. They called for an approach based broadly on the failed Simpson-Bowles commission, which sought in 2010 to reduce the nation's debt by both raising revenues and reducing spending.
Through group member Steve Silverman, a former deputy cabinet secretary for Bill Clinton, they managed to meet with former commission chair Erskine Bowles himself, who championed their idea. Bowles and other senior Washington politically connected types launched the national Fix the Debt Campaign in August 2012, adopting the Vermont petition word-for-word as their official petition.
To date the document has almost 139,000 online signatures– more than 92,000 people signed it the first week. Duke and Foregger said they hope to receive millions of signatures by mid-2013.
The petition comes at a time when members of Congress remain engaged in a bitter partisan battle over plans for cutting $1.2 trillion from the national budget. Because Republicans and Democrats couldn't agree on cuts to the defense budget and social programs in 2011 they put a debt ceiling in place. The deal, according to The Hill, set automatic spending cuts as a penalty for a failure to agree on a plan. Under the Sequestration Transparency Act, about $109 billion in pre-determined reductions will be made this January, according to Politico. The Defense budget will absorb a disproportionate percentage of the reductions, while Social Security and Medicare will be protected. The Bush era tax cuts expire at the same time. Economists say the so-called "fiscal cliff" could throw the nation into another recession.
The national petition campaign aims to put pressure on elected officials to compromise sensibly on debt issues, said Ed Lorenzen, an adviser to the campaign. Lorenzen formerly worked on the staff of the Simpson-Bowles commission, and he said the "tough medicine" that the group prescribed might have alienated many people.
"The special interests opposed to any particular debt reduction can be loud," said Lorenzen, who attributed failures to tackle the debt to a lack of political will. "We're trying to give voice to the broader public interest."
Vermont Congressman Peter Welch praised the importance of the petition's bipartisan approach. It's another indication, he said, "of Vermont activism ahead of the curve." Welch has worked on bipartisan debt reduction efforts in the House.
Fix the Debt campaign volunteers attended both the RNC and the DNC conventions, and Democrats and Republicans showed equal interest, according to Lorenzen.
Lorenzen wouldn't comment on Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan's controversial federal budget plans, citing the nonpartisan nature of the campaign. Welch, though, placed blame squarely on Ryan for "killing" the Simpson-Bowles commission plan with his no vote, and said Ryan seemed more interested in "partisan political games" than debt reduction.
"Vermont has never been afraid to make a local statement that has national impact," Duke said. "This whole idea, the genesis of it, was in the heart of the Green Mountains." Foregger said Yankee common-sense and fiscal prudence were two other Vermont values ingrained in the movement.
The three other petition founders include: Craig DeLuca and Bob Anderson, two Stowe residents and businessmen, alongside Jim Del Favero, a software and personal finance executive from Silicon Valley.
Sources emphasized that no single factor is the main driver of the debt. They cited military spending on two wars, increased health care and government assistance costs, and low tax revenues due to the economic recession.
The original December 2010 Simpson-Bowles' commission report is here, while information on the current federal debt can be found at the U.S. Treasury website. The public holds a debt of almost $11.3 trillion.
Correction: The barbeque mentioned in the first paragraph was held on Memorial Day in 2012, not on July 4 as originally written.

Employees of Monarch Bank in Hampton Roads, Va., work at cubicles so huge that they call them "Taj Ma-cubes." Every President's Day, they celebrate "Monarch Day" with training sessions and an awards ceremony. And last year, their bonus checks were 30% bigger than the year before.
The bank's CEO and its president personally welcome every new employee and explain the company's culture. And execs regularly say they put employees first—above customers—because happy employees are more cheerful and helpful with clients.
The 300-employee bank created a nonprofit called Monarch Charities that sponsors an annual golf tournament that has raised nearly $1 million for area children's charities.
Result: Employees stay. And the bank rewards them with promotions. In 2010, it promoted 18 employees to senior management instead of hiring newcomers for the jobs.

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, just when you're ready to write off the Mariners and the Rangers as lost for the season – not that it's anything other than way too damned early to write off anyone (other than the Royals and Devil Rays, of course) – both teams come back with serious offensive output, seemingly out of nowhere. Slumping players on both teams opened up their various bags of tricks Wednesday night and put the hurt on streaking, division-leading teams.
The Mariners, who were in the midst of a four-game losing streak, unearthed some recently missing punch from first baseman Richie Sexson (.235/.297/.500) and left fielder Raúl Ibañez (.353/.436/.529) who combined for 8 RBI - including Sexson's 10th career grand slam – as well as the now almost-a-given RBI or three from newly-imported Japanese catcher Kenji Johjima (.345/.424/.621). Perhaps the most important part of the Mariners' 11-9 victory over AL Central leadering Cleveland, though, was the 3-for-4, 4 run explosion from right fielder Ichiro Suzuki (.237/.326/.263). When these particular puzzle pieces are working in unison the Mariners are very hard to beat. The M's will have a fighting chance tonight to put it all together again behind the arm of young right-handed starter Félix Hernández (0-1 in one start with a 1.80 ERA), who's no doubt itching to get his first win of the season.
The Rangers, who had gotten off to a heartbreaking 2-7 start, also made a lot of noise with their bats on Wednesday in an 11-2 thumping of the AL West-leading Angels. Slow-starting first baseman Mark Teixeira (.351/.455/.514) finally got his first home run of the season, a solo shot in the 4th inning off of Angels' starter Kelvim Escobar. On top of that, just-called-up-from-the-minors right fielder Gary Matthews, Jr. (.200/.200/.600) clocked a 3-RBI triple later in the same inning. The biggest news from the Rangers' victory, though, has to be starting pitcher John Koronka's successful 6-hit, 2-run performance against one of the top 10 offenses in the American league. The Rangers have consistently had trouble with their pitching, something that they'd hoped – and so far failed – to avoid this year with the acquisitions of Kevin Millwood (career ERA 3.79, but 7.36 in two starts this year) and Adam Eaton (on the DL for 2-3 months without having made a start in 2006). The Rangers travel to Oakland on Friday for a three-game series starting with Millwood against the A's very own struggling ace, Barry Zito.
With solid performances from their relatively weak starting rotations and consistent production from their potentially potent offenses, both the Rangers and Mariners have a chance to keep the division interesting well into the season. Both are dark horses when it comes to the possibility of actually winning the West, but far less likely things have happened in the world of baseball. Unlike other divisions that have obvious stratification, the AL West is one that fans can follow with relish for the next 24-1/2 weeks and be fairly confident that some high stakes games will be there for the watching all the way up to October.

|Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:17:05 GMT
thx artie, i haven't used a super CF because i thought it has more trouble doing slices because the entire row must be deserialized to get to the subcolumn you want? iostat is nothing, 0.0. i have plenty of RAM and the OS is I/O caching nicely i haven't used the key cache, because i only have one key, the row of the queue ;) i haven't used row cache because i need the row to grow quite large, millions of columns. and the size of data could be arbitrary - right now i am testing with < 32 byte values per column. i do need quorum consistency. i have read previous that some folks are using a single row with millions of columns. is anyone using get_slice to pick off the first or the last column in the row?

Charlie Sheen's a Birther Now
Considering this entire thing started with an interview on Alex Jones' Infowars, it really should come as no surprise that Charlie Sheen went full-birther in Washington D.C. last night. For those of you who just come here for the pretty pictures, birthers are people who believe President Obama wasn't born in America and is some form of secret, foreigner Manchurian candidate. So, naturally a psychotic drug addict is one of them. The Huffington Post reports:
Talking about a possible presidential run — Sheen defeated Obama amongst GOP voters in the same polls as his victories of Palin — he mused about the idea and then hit the birther sweet spot.
"For starters, I was f**king born here, how about that? And I got proof! Nothing photoshopped about my birth certificate."
Of course, the crowd cheered for this, but then again these are people who paid $100+ to see Charlie Sheen, only to find themselves minutes later yelling the following whenever he wasn't "talking about drugs or manhandling women," according to the Washington Post:
"ENTERTAIN US," boomed a male voice as Sheen waxed philosophical on the hard living of Dennis Hopper.
"SHUT THE [EXPLETIVE] UP AND SAY SOMETHING WEIRD," demanded another.
And now for my conspiracy theory:
TRUMP: Listen, here's a couple of Bentleys I had laying around. I need you to embrace this birther thing so I have an excuse to back away from it before it sinks me.
SHEEN: So, you're saying Obama really was born in America?
TRUMP: Ha! You're hilarious. Of course he was. Only idiots believe that shit.
SHEEN: Right… idiots. I was just mucking it up with the comedy, you know me. Tiger blood, tiger blood, winning! A ha cha cha cha!
TRUMP: You really believed it, didn't you?
SHEEN: He's a shape-shifter!

Everyone can hum this haunting Irish ballad that inevitably brings a tear to the eye. For all its popularity, the most requested "Irish" song and its origins still remain an enigma. Is it even Irish? Did the song initially grace the Irish counntryside as the winsome ballad of an itinerant piper, or did it first take form as a blind musician's bow danced across the strings of a fiddle? Travel with Malachy on his journey for the truth as he interviews musicologists, historians, academics, celebrities, and Irish icons. Join the expedition and trace the complex evolution and enduring mystique of "Danny Boy" in an unforgettable tribute that brilliantly weaves history with folklore.

The Queensland premier says the head of the state's crime and corruption watchdog should consider quitting over the release of secret Fitzgerald inquiry files.
Mr Newman says Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) chairman Ross Martin has presided over a "pattern" of lack of openness, lack of accountability, and a lack of respect for the Queensland parliament.
"Frankly, I've had ministers that have been prepared to resign because they've actually failed the test as well," he told reporters in Gladstone on Friday.
"And if they've failed the test on matters that are almost trivial compared to Mr Martin's lack of good governance and accountability, then he should consider doing the same thing."
Mr Newman said the CMC in May accidentally shredded documents related to the Fitzgerald police corruption inquiry.
It also released documents it shouldn't have and left them publicly available until September, without notifying the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee (PCMC) of the error, he said.
The premier backed his attorney-general Jarrod Bleijie's view that the buck had to stop with Mr Martin over the bungle.
He said a public inquiry will determine what has happened, why it happened, what Mr Martin did to stop it happening and why the government should support the suppression of the accidentally released records.
Parliament rushed through new legislation in the early hours of Friday morning outlawing their publication for 60 days.
"Mr Martin has come to the government at one minute to midnight - almost literally - and demanded legislation to cover up the mistakes of him and his organisation," he said.
"I view this very seriously."
Mr Newman said Mr Martin also demanded he saw draft legislation before it was put to parliament.
"My concern is we have a senior important public servant who doesn't seem to understand his responsibility or his accountability to the people of Queensland," he said.
Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk and former PCMC chair Alex Douglas have both criticised the government's attack on Mr Martin before the inquiry has had a chance to determine what has taken place.
Civil liberties advocate Terry O'Gorman said the CMC was now close to unaccountable.
But he said it was also clear some "senior members" of the Newman government had it out for the CMC.
"They would love to get payback for what the CMC has done to some of their numbers in the past, in terms of investigations and prosecuting them and jailing them," Mr O'Gorman told AAP.
"One has to be very careful of the agenda of certain high ranking members of this government who'd like to exert more direction control of the CMC. That's got to be resisted at all costs."
Mr O'Gorman said lives and careers were being wrecked by "endemic" delays in CMC investigations, which could not be challenged in the courts.
"Look at Caltabiano. But there are others," he said, referring to the premier's suspended, and now sacked, transport chief Michael Caltabiano.
The CMC has been investigating the appointment of former arts minister Ros Bates' son to a well paid job in Mr Caltabiano's department since at least October last year.
He said there was evidence to suggest the parliamentary committee that oversees the CMC has "become a captive of the very organisation it's intended to supervise".
A review of the CMC, ordered by the government last year, must be expanded so it can look at all issues affecting the watchdog's functions, including how it's supervised, he said.
In response to the premier's comments, a CMC spokeswoman said Mr Martin remained the chairman of the watchdog.

I didn't bother taking photos while diving because I didn't want to be distracted trying to operate a camera and instead wanted to fully focus (no pun intended) on the marine life and take it all in with my own eyes. This was too special to just watch it through a viewfinder! But after the dive I took a bunch of photos at the local fish processing port. Here are those photos for your viewing pleasure. ]]> 0

The mother of a female student at Truro Junior High School took a picture of her daughter in a pair of shorts she wore to school last week. The student was told not to wear the shorts to school again. Submitted
If you're going to be wearing shorts to school in Truro, you better do a length test.
In response to parents and students claiming some girls at Truro Junior High School were made to change for wearing shorts, the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board's spokesperson confirmed there are guidelines to follow.
"It's not in the student handbook, but there is a guideline that all our middle schools in the Cobequid Family of Schools follows," said Debbie Buott-Matheson. "When the student stands up, whether it's female or male, and put their hands down at their sides, where their fingertips lay is the guideline. Shorts can't be any shorter than that."
The guideline goes not just for shorts, but dresses and skirts as well, and also includes faculty.
"If a student is taller than another, they may be wearing the same shorts but they will fall shorter because they are taller," she added. "Faculty never want to look at someone and say, 'you can't wear that.' It's unfortunate that it has come to that, and it's unfortunate because no one wants to feel their personal expression is being stifled."
She said, however, that school is a learning environment and staff is in place to make decisions to make that learning environment comfortable for all students, and non-distracting.
A number of students and parents contacted the Truro Daily News newsroom about some female students at the school being made to change for wearing shorts.
"My daughter sent me a text (Friday) morning saying that she got in trouble for wearing shorts," wrote a mother of a Grade 8 student. "I went to the school to speak to the vice-principal and she informed me that the shorts were too short."
The mother, who didn't want to be identified or to identify her daughter, told the vice-principal that she didn't feel they were.
"They are in no way short, nothing is exposed and they fall at an acceptable length," she wrote. "I told her that I completely disagreed and that my daughter would continue to wear those shorts and her other ones to school."
A student also wrote to the Truro Daily News, stating she had been one of about 50 girls to wear shorts that day and also said a few "were driven home by faculty members" to change.
"We feel that this is not right," she wrote. "The faculty say we need to cover ourselves up so that we 'don't distract male students and/or faculty members.' Why can't they stop teaching us to cover up and start teaching the guys to respect us?"
A number of female students chose to wear shorts to school again on Monday, including the mother's daughter who was again called into the office.
"These girls are being told that they can't wear shorts because it is distracting to male students and teachers. Our girls are being victimized for wearing shorts ... it's like they have to change their way of dressing because it makes men uncomfortable ... but it's OK for men to "ogle" our daughters," she said.
Buott-Matheson said when a school has an issue with dress code, for example if a male student is wearing pants low enough to see his underwear, it isn't about singling out students.
"It may be a judgment call on behalf of the administration. That's what they are there for, to help monitor the school environment and to make it so it isn't uncomfortable or distracting," she said.
While the guidelines aren't included in the junior high school's student handbook found online, it does include a section on 'consequences of failing code of behaviour,' which includes suspension.
The mother said her daughter was told she could face suspension.
"She is not to wear shorts that fall mid-thigh ... which I thought hers did," she wrote. "She will be suspended next time. No more chances because she is being defiant."
An online petition has been started to have both the school board and school "change their stand on the dress code and re-evaluate the reasons that our daughters are being given for not being allowed to wear shorts."

NEW YORK – What possessed the young French Muslim Mohammed Merah to murder three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi, and three soldiers, two of them fellow Muslims? What possessed another man, Anders Breivik, to gun down more than 60 teenagers in a Norwegian summer camp last year? These murder sprees are so unusual that people demand explanations.
To call these killers "monsters," as some were quick to do, sheds little light on the problem. They were not monsters; they were young men. And to dismiss them as madmen is equally evasive. If they were clinically insane, nothing more would need to be explained.
Two accounts, both broadly socio-political, stand out. One was put forward by the controversial Muslim activist Tariq Ramadan. He blames French society. More specifically, he blames the fact that young Frenchmen of Muslim origin are marginalized on the grounds of their faith and the color of their skin.
Even though these people have French passports, they are treated as unwanted foreigners. When French President Nicolas Sarkozy, himself the son of immigrants, says that there are too many foreigners in France, he drives young men like Merah farther into a corner. A tiny minority of such men might lash out in desperation.

Massa is no Alonso but he is not as bad as all of these comments suggest. This Ferrari is a red bucket of bent bolts. It is a piece of shyte with wheels. Alonso makes the car look much better than it is which unfortunately reflects badly on Massa who can't do that. I wish that they do replace him now but feel sorry for the poor replacement who needs to steer this thing.

Basic Data Analysis and More: A Guided Tour Using Python
by O. Melchert
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 62
In these lecture notes, a selection of frequently required statistical tools will be introduced and illustrated. They allow to post-process data that stem from, e.g., large-scale numerical simulations. From a point of view of data analysis, the concepts and techniques introduced here are of general interest and are, at best, employed by computational aid. Consequently, an exemplary implementation of the presented techniques using the Python programming language is provided.

Arnold parolee arrested on drug charges
An Arnold man on parole is facing drug and gun charges.
Michael T. "Magic" Scott, 37, of 1610 Fourth Ave., formerly of Cleveland, was arrested by state Attorney General narcotics agents early Thursday at his residence.
Inside the house, agents, state police and Arnold police found about 100 packets of heroin, about a quarter-ounce of cocaine, a digital scale, drug packaging materials and two pistols.
Agents charged Scott with having two pistols even though he is a convicted felon, as well as having drugs and drug paraphernalia, and selling drugs. Police are checking to see if the .40-caliber Glock and 9 mm High-Point pistols were stolen.
Agents were examining bank records and looking for drug-trafficking money.
The arrest is part of a continuing investigation into drug trafficking in the Alle-Kiski Valley. The Attorney General's Office declined comment about the ongoing probe.
Later Thursday, New Kensington District Judge Frank J. Pallone Jr. arraigned Scott and ordered him held in the Westmoreland County jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bond pending a preliminary hearing.
But parole officials filed a detainer with Pallone to keep Scott in jail even if he posts bond.
Scott told the district judge that he is on parole until next year after serving a three-year state prison sentence for drug sales. He said that he had been arrested before that for drug sales, too.
State records show Scott entered the state prison system on Dec. 31, 2008 to serve a sentence of seven months to six years in prison for drug sales. He was transferred from prison to the Alle-Kiski Pavilion halfway house in Arnold in March 2011 and was paroled that July 29.
He was scheduled to complete his parole in March 2014, a state corrections spokeswoman said.

The AVGP (Armoured Vehicle General Purpose) is a series of three armoured fighting vehicles ordered by the Canadian military in 1977.[4][5][6][7] The vehicles, which are the Grizzly, Cougar and Husky, were based on the six-wheeled version of the Swiss MOWAG Piranha I.
The Canadian Army retired all AVGP variants beginning in 2005; however, a number of the retired vehicles were transferred to other militaries and police forces, where they continue to serve.[6][8]
The AVGP had propellers and trim vanes for amphibious use, like the eight-wheeled Bison, which was the vehicle family's immediate successor. Recent retrofits have removed the marine drive system, as it was seldom used and maintenance was costly. The Canadian Army's LAV III, the United States Marine Corps' LAV-25, and the US Army's Stryker are other variants of the Piranha family, and directly evolved from the Canadian designs.
The AVGP variants were introduced into Canadian service in the late 1970s.[4] Intended for use only in Canada, they were pressed into service for several United Nations missions, including UNPROFOR and the mission to Somalia. One Grizzly was captured by Serb forces in the late 1990s, despite it being present on a peace keeping mission.[9]
The Cougar was used for training in Canada as a reconnaissance vehicle.[5] During the 1980s and 1990s, it was used by armoured units as a fire support vehicle, for those units not equipped with the Leopard tank. The squadrons equipped with the Cougar in those regiments were humorously referred to as the "boat squadron" as opposed to the reconnaissance squadrons, which were equipped with the Lynx, and later the Coyote (another AVGP successor).
The Grizzly was used as an armoured personnel carrier in regular force infantry battalions not equipped with the M113 APC, and also by reserve units. The majority of vehicles had their marine propulsion systems removed. Under the Wheeled LAV Life Extension project, the Canadian Forces planned to convert Grizzly and Husky vehicles to support variants, such as Command Post and Mobile Repair Team Vehicle. However, the project was cancelled in 2005, and the vehicles retired.[6][7][10]
In May 2007, the Edmonton Police Service accepted the donation of a disarmed Grizzly from the Canadian Army.[11]
In March 2010, the Canadian Army donated two disarmed Cougar AVGPs to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia for use by the Emergency Response Team.[citation needed] They were retrofitted to transport ERT assault teams into hazardous areas where transport in unarmoured vehicles would not be safe.
In April 2014, the department of National Defence donated a Cougar AVGP to the Windsor Police Service in Windsor, Ontario.
Use in Africa[edit]
In June 2005, the Canadian government announced plans to loan 105 AVGPs (100 Grizzlys and 5 Huskys) to African peacekeepers in the Darfur region of Sudan.[12][13] The AVGP was considered sufficiently modern to be useful in this low-intensity conflict. Canada planned to arrange for civilian contractors to maintain these vehicles. As the vehicles contained some U.S.-manufactured or licensed parts, U.S. permission would be required to loan the vehicles. Initially, the vehicles were to be shipped without their Cadillac-Gage turrets. The vehicles arrived in Senegal in the late summer of 2005.[14][15]
The Sudanese government required various kinds of assurances before they would allow peacekeepers to use the vehicles in Sudan. On November 18, 2005 the vehicles started arriving in Sudan, in white livery, with their turrets.[16] The loan of vehicles for peace-keeping service in Sudan was originally for one year.[14][15]
However, the loan was extended, and transferred from the African Union to the United Nations. According to Amnesty International, the soldiers who used the loaned vehicles served in Sudan for too short a term to be properly trained, and become experienced. One of the vehicles was destroyed by a rocket-propelled grenade.[14] A second vehicle was damaged when it rammed a more heavily armed, but unarmored Technical vehicle.
In 2008, the Uruguayan Army bought 44 surplus Cougars from the Canadian Army.[17][18] They were rebuilt without the turret by the Chilean MOWAG-Piranha builder FAMAE, as they will act as armoured personnel carriers for the UN deployment in the Republic of Congo (MONUC), and domestically.
In 2009, Uruguay bought 98 Grizzlys and 5 Huskys that were on loan with the AMIS/UNAMID mission in Darfur.[citation needed]
Variants of the AVGP are:[1]
- Used as a tank trainer, reconnaissance and fire support vehicle[5]
- Three-man crew[5]
- Turret of a British Scorpion reconnaissance vehicle (76mm main gun)[5]
- Armoured personnel carrier (APC)[6]
- Three-man crew[6]
- Designed to carry a section of infantry[6]
- Mounting a Cadillac-Gage 1 metre turret, armed with a .50 BMG and a 7.62 mm machine gun[6][19]
- Armoured recovery vehicle (ARV)[7]
- Two-man crew[7]
- Designed to provide mechanical support for the other two vehicles[7]
Historical operators[edit]
- Canada (Canadian Army) - AVGPs were used by Regular and Reserve units, the Cougar in armoured regiments and the Grizzly in mechanized infantry battalions.
- Serbia Serbia - at least one Canadian Grizzly serving in the former Yugoslavia was captured by Serbian forces and had been photographed in the service of Jedinica za Specijalne Operacije (JSO, Unit for Special Operations) or Crvene Beretke (Red Berets), a unit of the Serbian police. [20]
Current operators[edit]
- Canada (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) – as the Tav 2 variant (Cougars modified for ERT tasks), these were given for free by the Canadian Army to the RCMP in British Columbia in March 2010. The Edmonton Police Service received one Grizzly in 2007. Formerly operated by the Canadian Army.
- African Union (AMIS mission) – 100 (−1 lost in combat) Grizzlys, 5 Huskys[21]
- Uruguay – 44 refurbished Cougars with turrets removed.[8] 98 Grizzlys and 5 Huskys given directly from the AMIS/UNAMID mission in Sudan.

Saints, Toftrees
The trouble was, of course, that we were lulled into a false sense of security by the succession of open churches. Coming to Toftrees, we had crossed a benefice boundary, from the dozen or so churches of Father Paul Inman which are all kept militantly open every day. Still, All Saints looked delightful across the fields, splendid in its isolation with only the neighbouring farm for company.
It was locked. More than this, there was no keyholder; no notices at all that I could see, and I wondered if All Saints had gone the way of so many churches in this part of Norfolk, and was now disused, earmarked for the headlong rush into abandonment and desolation. We cleared the filth on the window at the west end of the nave, and peered in to see the wonderful font, still in situ.
Actually, I knew that All Saints was still in use - or, at least, that it had been within the last couple of years. John had been inside before, and contributes the photographs he took on that occasion.
As you see from the images, it is a large, square font, with animal heads in the corners and knotwork on the faces. It is set on a collonade of intricate columns. Delightful. Of course, all churches once had Norman fonts, just as most Norfolk churches once had round towers. It is theology, the passing of the ages and of fashion which has replaced them. A fine survival.

Peace - Poem by Angela Yarbrough
I will hold on to my peace
When everything is falling apart
All my happiness has ceased
And I am hurting in my heart
I will keep my peace strong
At times when alone I am facing trials
When everyone has turned and gone
My peace will be my survival
I will let my peace guide me
In the chaos of a decaying society
Stripped of being truly free
Dictated to by economics bounty
I will hear my peace call
When all around me is war
And in battle men die and fall
On mothers' hearts battle scars are bore
My peace I will walk with
Looking to God in my heart
My spirit His love will lift
Knowing He's the master of this art
I will hear my peace call
When anger wells up inside
And I feel like I am in a free-fall
Because of all injustice applied
I will let my peace guide me
When life's journey becomes unclear
I question my moral quality
Due to lack it causes fear.
I will keep my peace strong
Standing up for what I believe
When my differences seem wrong
Stay the course and just be me
I will hold on to my peace
This is my heart's desire
This is how we all should be
Peace makes us so much kinder

Premier Mike Baird says his new cabinet is ''all about balance'' but has been forced to defend the decision to dump several senior ministers and a lack of new female faces.
Attorney-general Greg Smith, hospitality minister George Souris and environment minister Robyn Parker are the high-profile casualties of Mr Baird's reshuffle announced on Tuesday.
Mr Baird said the decisions ''weren't easy, but I strongly think they were in the right, long-term interests of the state''.
Planning minister Brad Hazzard takes over the attorney-general's portfolio and a new entrant to cabinet, Dubbo MP Troy Grant, takes on hospitality, gaming and racing and arts.
Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner has taken the major events and tourism portfolios that were previously under Mr Souris.
Community services minister Pru Goward replaces Mr Hazzard in planning. The community services portfolio will be taken over by sports minister Gabrielle Upton. Fair Trading Minister Stuart Ayres adds sport and recreation to his responsibilities.
Pittwater MP Rob Stokes enters cabinet as Environment Minister.
Finance Minister Andrew Constance will become Treasurer shortly before the June 17 budget.
Working closely with Mr Constance will be another new face in cabinet, Castle Hill MP Dominic Perrottet, who has been given finance and services.
Bathurst MP Paul Toole will take on local government and Wollondilly MP Jai Rowell becomes Minister for Mental Health and Assistant Health Minister.
Mr Baird said his cabinet was ''a new team that balances experience with renewal and hunger''.
He denied Mr Smith's removal was to appease critics who felt he was not hard line enough on law-and-order issues.
Mr Stoner pointed out Mr Souris and former local government minister Don Page - also out of cabinet - have had ''a pretty good run'', having been in Parliament since 1988. Mr Page has indicated he will not recontest his seat of Ballina next year and Mr Stoner suggested Mr Souris ''might come to the same decision''.
The changes mean that of 22 ministers, five are women, one less than in the previous cabinet.
Mr Baird said two of the most significant portfolios were still held by deputy Liberal leader and Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian and Health Minister Jillian Skinner, while Ms Goward and Ms Upton had been promoted.
Greens MP John Kaye said Mr Baird had assembled ''a pro-privatisation cabinet that will also lead the state into a no-holds-barred law-and-order auction election campaign''.

FORWARD OPERATING BASE SHOJA, Afghanistan – Soldiers of Combined Task Force 4-2 (4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division), 229th Engineer Company of the Wisconsin Army National Guard, and the Afghan National Security Force finalized road construction on a new route in the Panjwa'i district of Afghanistan, April 4.
The 229th Eng. Company worked with CTF 4-2 on a previous road construction project, but this time they also worked with Afghan engineers in a less kinetic area, said 1st Lt. Tomm Hickey, a platoon leader with 229th Eng. Company
The physical presence of the enemy wasn't felt as much as when he and his team built a road with Company B, 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, CTF 4-2, he said.
The only people near the construction were local farmers, which provided a different challenge, said Hickey.
"It was something you couldn't just brute force your way through and tactically maneuver your way through," said Hickey. "You had to look at the political and cultural side of it."
When U.S. and Afghan forces first began scoping out the area, they learned that there were issues between residents of Panjwa'i district and Dand district because the road they planned to build crossed district boarders. There were no clear boundaries as to what land belonged to whom, said Hickey.
"At the very start, it was a unique experience for me having to go to numerous shuras with the district governors and the local maliks," said Hickey.
Not only did they build a road, but they created v-ditches down the side as away to channel water along the road to prevent flooding and to help direct water back to the fields, said Hickey.
The 3.8-km road connects the village of Haji Baba to a village to the south, Narose.
The road also provides easier transportation to Combat Outpost Khenjakak, which is where Company C, 1st Bn., 38th Inf. Regt. resides.
Capt. Ralph Parlin, the commander of C Company, and his soldiers partnered with the local Afghan National Army to provide security for the engineers.
"The importance of this road from a security perspective is that the town here to the southwest (Narose) is very hard to get to," Parlin explained. "You can't get mounted vehicles there, so the (Afghan Local Police), the ANA and (International Security Assistance Forces) have a hard time getting there."
The absence of security forces near the villages creates the condition for a Taliban safe haven, said Parlin.
"This road not only helps the citizens of Afghanistan north of here, but by culminating down into the village of Narose, it allows us to project combat power to that area in order to make it less suitable for (Taliban) command and control," Parlin said.
The new route ties into roads that come off of the villages of Nakhonay, Narose, and Haji Baba to encourage locals to use it, said Hickey.
Completing the road was a common goal for both the Afghan and American engineers, Hickey said.
"We want to build a road for Afghanistan (and) for the Afghan people," Hickey explained. "This is their home that they're rebuilding, so I think we got to see it from the other side."
The monthlong project was a crawl-walk-run pace for the Afghan engineers, Hickey said.
The project began with the American engineers providing most of the support then turned into both countries working together, and finished with the Afghans supplying the majority of work on the road construction, he said.
Watching the progress the Afghans made was a good thing, said Hickey.
"As the missions start progressing more and more toward retrograde, it's really nice to see us actually handing things over and kind of working ourselves out of a job," said Hickey. "It's kind of nice to hand over the torch especially knowing that they're going to keep going through here and standing up their own country."

Readers probably should be made aware of the current joint-military US-ROK exercises (KeyResolve/Foal Eagle) taking place and in the atmosphere of UN Security Council adoption of a resolution to further cripple the DPRK in order to punish the country for its ongoing nuclear tests. The US has a history of launching aggressive wars using UNSC resolutions as justification — The past decade is a testament to that with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. DPRK statements refers to this and the joint-military exercises which it considers to be detrimental to the way of life in the DPRK and against its sovereignty. In this context the DPRK statements of nullifying the 1953 Armistice Agreement and promising to use a nuclear deterrent was not made in jest, nor made in a vacuum, but responding to real conditions that threaten its very existence for its people. For the DPRK the objective of the War for National Liberation was to unify the country and throw out the foreign occupiers - an objective that they haven't lost sight of even after all this time trying to resolve politically the same objective via the Armistice Agreement of 1953.
I read somewhere recently that north korea and iran were working together. North korea has the nuclear weapons and iran has the missiles, a recipe for dissaster? I hope not.
At 14:30 of Breaking the Set Abby Martin presents an alternative view and context:
North Korea finances their military with smuggling drugs and weapons.
Ruza - Can you substantiate that claim with facts?

New Tape Of Mel Gibson's Alleged Racist Rant Surfaces
Another tape allegedly showing Mel Gibson using racist, sexist, and violent language has leaked online.
The new tape, recorded by Mel's ex Oksana Grigorieva, has surfaced on RadarOnline. The tape includes audio of Mel allegedly using a racist term for Hispanics and repeatedly telling Oksana that he "owns" her.
Mel, who is a staunch Catholic, repeatedly uses phrases and terms that would make the Pope blush. He calls Oksana a "F**king using w***e," a "c**t," and other impolite terms for a lady.
In the conversation, the two appear to be arguing over letting their child's babysitter come over and babysit at Oksana's home. Mel is angered by the idea that the babysitter would come to Oksana's house since she is "his employee" and if he finds out that Oksana hired her he would fire the babysitter.
Things begin to take a turn for the worst when Mel alleges that Oksana is a "gold digger" and that he controls her because he gives her money. Oksana says that she had to give up her career (she was formerly a pianist) for him since he wanted to "posses" her. She also hints that the two had been together for three years, before Mel's wife had filed for divorce from the famous actor.
The former couple is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their child. The two announced their break up earlier this year.

New: Airbag for smartphone
If you are clumsy and has a mobile Jeffrey preston bezos better known as Jeff Bezos, founder and President ofAmazon, has thought about you. In February 2010 it filed for a patent that is the airbag for Smartphone. To date the patent is not applied, and its existence was revealed yesterday.
Therefore if your laptop for autumn and airbags would trigger it is before it hit the ground with the accelerometer will be programmed to assess the rate of acceleration. If the latter exceeds a certain threshold, to fill the pockets of air to absorb the shock. In addition, gas jets to put on the road to stop the fall. But why this patent has t – was not yet put into practice? Simply because everything seems to indicate that the cost of manufacture is problematic.
This is a good idea, you have to see the impact this could have in the purchase price.

Ron Mueck at Fondation Cartier Pour l'Art Contemporain
Uncanny sculptures and a move toward closeness in the artist's latest work
Three new sculptures may not seem like much of an event, but for artist Ron Mueck—famous for a slow, deliberate process and mind-boggling attention to detail—it's cause for a major exhibition. A follow up to his 2005 show at Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Mueck has returned to the Parisian space with a series of his trademark hyperrealistic sculptures.
The trio of new works, "Young Couple," "Woman with Shopping Bags" and "Couple under an Umbrella," collectively displays various kinds of intimate interpersonal relationships: a young couple embrace with a downcast expression; a shopping woman sandwiches an infant in her coat; an old man lies under a beach umbrella, his head resting on his wife's thigh. While the work departs from the mostly solitary figures of his past work, stylistically it's the same old Mueck—stimulating, uncanny and wonderful.
Mueck's career began unceremoniously as a model-maker for children's television, later transitioning into advertising where he created photorealistic animatronics and props. Since moving to fine art, Mueck has produced some of the finest examples of contemporary sculpture. Meditating on the hair follicles, laugh lines and tonal variation of his lifelike works, viewers are struck with a sense of realism that transcends imitation. Frozen in an act, his characters are too real to be taken in—creating a mix of emotions that range from elation to terror.
In conjunction with the exhibition, French photographer Gautier Deblond is releasing a 50-minute documentary called "Still Life: Ron Mueck at Work" that gives a sense of the deliberation with which the artist works (part of the film is viewable in a short version). From the initial sketches to the layering of silicone skin in the mold, Deblond's lens is a rare and fascinating glimpse into Mueck's studio.
The exhibition will run 16 April through 29 September 2013. See more images of the artist's studio and process in our slideshow.
