Last weekend, activists from across the country converged on Washington, DC to mark the 8th anniversary of the war in Iraq by making their voices heard in Congress.
Over 130 attendees, including students, veterans, and military families, participated in the Spring Lobby Weekend to demand an end to the war in Afghanistan, proper care for our veterans, and cuts to the Pentagon budget.
The weekend featured two days of lobbying training before a day of lobby visits. Participants learned how to effectively communicate with Congress from experienced lobbyists, Congressional staff, and even a visit from a Congressman.
Congressman Jim McGovern, a long-time Peace Action ally on the Hill, delivered the keynote address on the first day of trainings. The Congressman spoke of his worries with this Congress. He noted that as he spoke, the U.S. was dropping bombs on Libya, perhaps entangling our military in another open-ended engagement. He noted that no one was talking about Afghanistan, to the extent that he suggested many new members of Congress had never even been asked a question about Afghanistan on the campaign trail.
Representative McGovern called on us to keep the pressure on in Congress. Our calls and correspondence make a real impact. Public pressure will be what forces Congress to address Afghanistan.
Following a day of lobby visits, many participants made plans for future visits with their Congress members at their district offices. Furthermore, many set goals for writing Letters to the Editor in their local paper to keep up the pressure.
Overall, the weekend was a major success and brought forth a new generation of skilled young lobbyists eager to make their voices heard. Together, we can bring the war back into the debate.

WEP problems in /lib/wifi/madwifi.sh

Hi, I've just updated my WGT634U to r5891 and found problems when I use WEP encryption.
I had to make these two changes to /lib/wifi/madwifi.sh
changed line 110: iwconfig "$ifname" enc "${key:-1}"
([] Brackets must be removed around the key.)
new line 121:iwconfig "$ifname" essid "${ssid}"
Set the SSID here if WEP encryption is used, because the hostapd is not started afterwards. Not sure if this is the intended way to do this, but it's working fine.

Just noticed that the key for WEP has to be set in this way:
option key1 "s:lanparty-2006" option key 1
I didn't realize because I was using WPA before where 'key' really contains the key. So this ticket can be closed but it's confusing that for WEP the 'key' doesn't contain the key but the key index.

It is insoluble in light petroleum, and but slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, water, or carbon bisulphide.
The best is perhaps chloroform, and next to this carbon bisulphide.
One diagram illustrated the development in a particular county of the use of two bactericides, formalin and carbon bisulphide.
carbon bisulphide has been extensively used in California in the burrows of ground squirrels.
Another substance much used for destroying insects or similar pests is carbon bisulphide.
There still remain the sulphuretted hydrogen and the carbon bisulphide, both of which are extremely offensive to the nostrils.
carbon bisulphide is an infallible poison and has no effect upon colours when used in a perfectly dry state.
In the latter reaction various other compounds, such as carbon dioxide, carbon bisulphide and hydrocyanic acid, are produced.
Another defect is the volatility and inflammability of carbon bisulphide.
Cerous sulphide, Ce2S3, results on heating cerium with sulphur or cerium oxide in carbon bisulphide vapour.

If your house is wrecked by a disaster covered by home insurance, you don't have to couch-surf until the repairs are finished. Standard home insurance includes coverage for additional living expenses, or loss of use, which pays for extra costs to live while your house is uninhabitable. Those expenses can include rent, hotel stays, restaurant meals, storage fees and more.
The coverage is a lifesaver, but it can be tricky, and the rules are often misunderstood. This is especially true in the case of flooding. Standard home insurance doesn't cover flood damage and would not provide additional living expenses coverage if your home were uninhabitable just because of a flood. For that matter, flood insurance policies through the National Flood Insurance Program don't include additional living expenses either, although there are some privately sold flood policies that do. FEMA can help impacted homeowners and renters with alternative living expenses if the president issues a major disaster declaration and homes are uninhabitable. (See: " 5 ways flood insurance may soak you.") However, after a major disaster like Superstorm Sandy, your home might be uninhabitable because of other damage besides flooding, such as wind. Say, for instance, a tree blew over and crushed the roof. If your policy covered wind damage, then home insurance additional living expenses coverage would come into play. What if you can't live in your home because of a mandatory evacuation? Then additional living expenses would kick in only if the cause of the evacuation were covered under your policy, says Diane Swerling, a principal at Boston-based Swerling Milton Winnick Public Insurance Adjusters Inc, which helps consumers through the home insurance claim process. (See: "After Sandy: Public insurance adjusters work with homeowners to streamline claims.") Because of the many nuances and differences between policies, it's important to understand the coverage you have. (See: " Hurricanes and insurance: 5 must-know facts.") "Sometimes I do more work on the additional living expenses claims than the personal belongings and building claims," Swerling says.
Here are five tips for understanding how additional living expense coverage works:

Ashley Benson
Ashley Victoria Benson (born December 18, 1989) is an American film and television actress, and model. Ashley Benson currently stars in ABC's 2009 television series Eastwick. Ashley has also appeared in the film 13 Going on 30 as one of the "Six Chicks".
She may be one of the hottest ladies in Hollywood, but even Ashley Benson has dealt with body shaming issues from time to time.
In her cover story for Health magazine's March 2016 issue, the "Pretty Little Liars" lady reveals,"I get told all the time to lose weight. I got that a month ago. It's just weird. With my stuff recently, it's been, 'You have to be skin and bones or you're not getting it.'"
It's no secret that Tinseltown bosses can be quite superficial, and Ashley Benson told Ocean Drive magazine that even she has been called chubby by nasty casting directors.
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady explained, "I was just told I was too fat for a part. I'm a size two! I cried for 30 minutes, but then you have to let it roll off your shoulders or it could cause a serious eating disorder. A lot of people in this industry hear they need to lose weight more times than they should. It does make you stronger, though. Because if you let that affect you, you can't be in this industry - you'd go crazy."
There's never a lack of drama with the "Pretty Little Liars" ladies, and the new season six artwork is indicative of the craziness that is to come.
Slated to kick off on January 12th, the new episodes will feature a time jump five years into the future, complete with some sexy new looks.
Back in the 1990s, the hottest show on television was definitely "Baywatch," and now there's a cinematic revival in the works, complete with a hottie-laden shortlist of potential stars.
Among the eye candy on deck are actresses like Ashley Benson, Nina Dobrev and Alexandra Daddario, along with fellow stunners Alexandra Shipp, Shelley Hennig, Bianca Santos and Denyse Tontz.
Showing some love to music fans across the pond, MTV held its 2015 EMAs in Milan, Italy on Sunday night (October 25).
Hosted by Ed Sheeran and Ruby Rose, the star-studded event included performances by Justin Bieber, Ellie Goulding, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pharrell Williams.
She received some seriously negative feedback after posting a Halloween-themed selfie to her Instagram account earlier this week, and now Ashley Benson has issued an apology.
The "Spring Breakers" starlet wore a Cecil the Lion outfit and added the caption, "Help! Can't decide on my Halloween costume this year! What do you guys think of this Cecil the Lion costume?"
With Halloween just around the corner, stars like Ashley Benson are already planning what they'll wear to this year's swanky costume parties.
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady posted a selfie while wearing a Cecil the Lion getup, hoping to get some feedback from her Instagram followers. She wrote, "Help! Can't decide on my Halloween costume this year! What do you guys thing of this Cecil the Lion costume?"
Making the most of their time in San Diego, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens were all smiles at PETCO Park for last night's (July 9) MTV Fandom Awards shindig.
Joined by "Shake It Up" actress Bella Thorne, the "Spring Breakers" costars posed up a storm for the paparazzi before heading inside to catch all the star-studded action.
They're all on top of their respective games, so it's no wonder Mindy Kaling, Yolanda Foster and Gillian Anderson made the cut for the August 2015 Pop issue of W magazine.
Joined by talented folks like Lauren Cohan, Thomas Middleditch, Jussie Smollett, Ashley Benson, Derek Hough and Jay and Mark Duplass, these television stars talk about how they do their thing so well. Kaling explains, "A lot of people say you shouldn't serialize TV comedy, that you should be able to turn on an episode of, say, Seinfeld, and have it stand on its own. But it would be hard to have this woman who wants so badly to change in a show that doesn't. I want you to keep checking in with these characters."
Gearing up for tonight's (June 2) Season Six Premiere, ABC Family just dropped a sneak peek photograph featuring Shay Mitchell, Troian Bellisario, Janel Parrish, Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson.
In the image, all five ladies are sprawled out on the ground of a fenced pen, all wearing prom-style finery and all looking worse for wear.

Less than four months before the start of practice, the Big East basketball schedule is out.
The league is at 15 teams this season with the departure of West Virginia to the Big 12.
That means every school will play four opponents twice and 10 opponents once as part of an 18-game schedule.
Here's the breakdown of the four dual opponents for each school.
Cincinnati: Connecticut, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Rutgers
Connecticut: Cincinnati, DePaul, South Florida, Providence
DePaul: Connecticut, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, St. John's
Georgetown: Marquette, Rutgers, St. John's, Syracuse
Louisville: Notre Dame, Seton Hall, South Florida, Syracuse
Marquette: Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, South Florida
Notre Dame: Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, St. John's
Pittsburgh: Cincinnati, DePaul, Marquette, Villanova
Providence: Connecticut, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Villanova
Rutgers: Cincinnati, Georgetown, St. John's, Seton Hall
St. John's: DePaul, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rutgers
Seton Hall: Louisville, Marquette, Providence, Rutgers
South Florida: Connecticut, Louisville, Marquette, Villanova
Syracuse: Georgetown, Louisville, Providence, Villanova
Villanova: Pittsburgh, Providence, South Florida, Syracuse
In a nice touch, Syracuse will face longtime rivals Georgetown and Villanova multiple times. This could also be the final season for both the Orange and Pittsburgh, which are headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The schools are required to remain through the 2013-14 academic year as part of the Big East's exit policy. However, their early departure after this coming season would mimic how West Virginia left early - by paying a large exit fee.
It would also coincide with Temple, SMU, Houston, Central Florida and Memphis joining the league and allow the Big East to start moving forward with its new look.

Tad Szulc
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Tadeusz Witold Szulc (July 25, 1926 – May 21, 2001) was an author and foreign correspondent for The New York Times from 1953 to 1972.[1] Szulc is credited with breaking the story of the Bay of Pigs invasion.[2]
Szulc was born in Warsaw, Poland, the son of Seweryn and Janina Baruch Szulc.[1] He attended Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland.[1] In 1940 he emigrated from Poland to join his family (who had left Poland in the mid-1930s) in Brazil. There he studied at the University of Brazil, but in 1945 he abandoned his studies to work as a reporter for the Associated Press in Rio de Janeiro. In 1968 he was a reporter in Czechoslovakia during the Soviet invasion to quell the Prague Spring.
In 1947 he moved from Brazil to New York City, and in 1954 he became an American citizen.[2] His emigration to the United States was sponsored by United States Ambassador John Cooper Wiley who was married to his aunt.[1]
Married for 52 years, he had a son and daughter.
Szulc died in 2001 in Washington, D.C. of hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer, aged 74.
From 1953 to 1972 Szulc was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times.[1]
On April 6, 1961, nine days before the CIA-supported Bay of Pigs invasion, Szulc wrote a Times article stating that an invasion of Cuba was "imminent." Before its publication, President Kennedy became aware of the article and personally telephoned the Times' publisher. The Times yielded to the President's demand that the story be reduced in prominence and detail. His interest in Cuba continued over time, with the publication of an in-depth biography of Fidel Castro.[3]
Szulc was a Knight of the French Légion d'honneur.

The Yerba Prima Tampico Skin Brush is a wonderful, revitalizing health and beauty aid. Removing the top layer of dead
skin and stimulating the circulation of blood feeding the skin are essential for maintaining youthful, glowing and
supple skin. Skin Brushing has been used throughout the world for centuries and is making its way back into popularity.
Dry skin brushing is one of the best ways to cleanse the skin without removing the protective mantle of acid and oils.
It gently and effectively removes the top layer of dead skin cells with its build-up of dirt and acid and deeply
cleanses the pores.Skin brushing is one of the most powerful ways to cleanse the lymphatic system. Waste material is
carried away from the cells by the blood and the lymph. Skin brushing stimulates the release of this material from the
cells near the surface of the body. Eventually, most of the toxins along with their carrier cells, primarily
lymphocytes, find their way to the colon for elimination. Skin brushing is most effective with an all-natural vegetable
fiber brush, such as the Tampico Skin Brush. A long handle is also helpful for reaching the back and entire body.

This last weekend Caitlin Brunell won the Miss U of A pageant which is a preliminary to the Miss America pageant. She is the daughter of Mark Brunell the New York Jets' back up QB. Caitlin is also member of the Crimson Cabaret dance team. She is talented as well as good looking and I think she has a real chance to win the state Miss Alabama pagent and move on to the Miss America pageant.
The University is becoming the school of choice for former NFL QB's. At one time a few years ago we had Joe Namath's daughter, Ken Stabler's daughter and Fran Tarkenton's step daughter in school at the same time. We will most likely have more in the next few years.

The son of two professional jazz musicians—bandleader Otis Jackson, Sr. and songwriter Dora Sinesca Jackson—and the nephew of trumpet great John Faddis, musicality is certainly in the blood of underground hip-hop impresario Madlib.
As a producer, he has crafted some of the illest beats of the last decade for such great names as DOOM, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, and the late J. Dilla, not to mention beats created for his own microphone skils as a member of the celebrated '90s California underground crew Lootpack, and his own helium-voiced alter ego, Quasimoto. As a DJ, his mixtapes are Master's classes on everything from Motown soul to Trojan Records dub to obscure film soundtracks to funky Bollywood grooves. As a musician, his variety of projects under the Yesterday's Universe banner have showcased his impressive skills with just about every type of instrument under the sun. And in 2010, Madlib aims to showcase his dominance in all three arenas with a Nor'easter of new titles from all avenues and ends of the Otis Jackson spectrum.
First up this year was Before the Verdict, the inaugural installment of 'Lib's lofty 1-CD-a-month-for-12-months series, the Madlib Medicine Show, which serves as a precursor to the producer's second collaborative full-length with Detroit hood rapper Guilty Simpson, entitled OJ Simpson. While Guilty isn't exactly the greatest MC to emerge from the Motor City, flexing a flow that is quite tedious to endure for the educated ear, the beats on Before the Verdict are so good that it's worth the suffering, as he manages to slice, dice, and weave in sounds of breaking glass, snippets of old Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor comedy records, "Classy" Freddie Blassie rants, and impossibly rare funk, jazz, and psyche records, and transform it all into a puree of absolute hip-hop gold. If he put Percee P on these beats instead of Guilty, you would have had the banger of the year, hands down. It's a shame to see Madlib waste his amazing talents as a beatmaker on a MC of average skills like Simpson, especially when he has worked with such great names in the past. His production does harbor the ability to enhance the artistry of otherwise unremarkable rappers, as this year's impressive collaboration with Death Row vets Strong Arm Steady signifies, but this staunch allegiance to Guilty Simpson has got to go. At least we have the forthcoming sequel to the Madvillain album to fall back on, which, much like the duo's 2004 debut Madvillainy, will hopefully showcase exactly how electrifying Jackson's beats are when a bonafide microphone master rhymes on top of them.
The second and third volumes of the Madlib Medicine Show, on the other hand, are tailor made for the discriminating Madlib fan, as they showcase the Oxnard native's impeccable knowledge and dexterity as a sound selector and beatmaker par excellence. Appreciators of Jackson's 2004 Blue Note Records mix Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note or his outstanding Mind Fusion mixtapes know exactly what to expect here, and 'Lib delivers it to us in spades. Though not officially billed as a Beat Konducta event, the Medicine Show's second volume, Flight to Brazil, has BK written all over it. Fans of such Madlib productions as his excellent collaboration with drummer Ivan Conti of the celebrated Brazilian fusion group Azymuth and Speto Da Rua, his previous mixtape of Brazil-based music for the always-amazing Mochilla label, are already well aware of Jackson's undying love for the largest country in South America. But unlike his other Beat Konducta productions, he allows these songs to breathe more by keeping his knack for laying down heavy beats overtop to a minimum and utilizing more found sound elements and phased-out sonics. This allows for a seamless, trippy blend of local funk, jazz, psychedelia, tropicalia, carnival, forro, bossa nova, and samba culled from impossibly rare records and 45s by such groundbreaking Brazilian acts as bossa nova masters O Quarteto, film composer Moacir Santos, samba great Emilio Santiago, and Rio prog rockers Som Imaginario.
Meanwhile, Volume 3 of the Madlib Medicine Show, Beat Konducta in Africa, is closer to the classic beat tape cloth Madlib has so masterfully woven in previous volumes of the series like Movie Scenes and the Dil Cosby and Dil Withers suites. This massive 43-track set blends together a variety of obscure wax sourced from various afro-beat, funk, jazz, psych, and soul records from such nations as Zambia, Ethiopia, Nigera, Ghana, Botswana, and South Africa, interpolated with sound bites from old educational films, interviews with the likes of Fela Kuti, and clips from legendary Afro-centric concert films like Soul to Soul and James Brown's Soul Power. Beat Konducta in Africa is by far the freshest and funkiest BK set to date, and easily the most original tribute to the Dark Continent that has emerged from the indie music industry's seemingly crazed perseveration for all things Africa.
However, if you are fixing to catch the true sonic essence of this mysterious, elusive production guru, one need look no further than his instrumental joints—namely those attributed to his Yesterday's New Quintet project, a fictitious four-man band rooted in electronically enhanced, jazz-flavored jams that not only includes releases available from the "group" itself, but also "solo" albums from each of its "members", not to mention an extended family previously chronicled on YNQ's 2007 "Various Artists" compilation, Yesterday's Universe. Two of the "acts" featured on that release, the Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble and Young Jazz Rebels, serve as Madlib's latest outlets for getting his wordless groove on. Easily the most jazz-oriented work in his canon of original material, both the Jazz Rebels and the LASJ&PE definitely showcase the producer's growth as a formidable musician in his own right.
Following a great pair of mini-albums in Summer Suite (originally given away as a limited release CD-R with the purchase of the Yesterday's Universe album) and Fall Suite, the Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble's Miles Away is a percussion-heavy fantasy ride through Madlib's profoundly large jazz collection via ten compositions dedicated to ten of his greatest heroes in the genre. If ever there was a blueprint to the genetic makeup of Yesterday's Universe, it is in this 65-minute long set, which showcases Jackson's talents as a musician, arranger, and composer perhaps more than any other recording he has crafted in the ten years he's been recording as Yesterday's New Quintet and its variety of offshoots. Each track here is tailor made to mimick the style and flow of the artist it represents, be it the groovy woodwinds of Pharoahs flautist Derf Reklaw, the harmonic bop of Woody Shaw, the avant-garde black consciousness of Phil Ranelin, the space voyage modality of Larry Young, the urban soul-jazz of Roy Ayers, or the innovative spirituality of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders's work together in 'Trane's last quintet.
Miles Away is a textured, dynamic, and masterfully performed flow of loose percussion, flutes, chimes, wah-wah-drenched electric piano licks, plaintive acoustic piano rolls, sitar accents, and nylon-stringed acoustic guitar picking that serves as a fine complement to its companion title, Slave Riot by the Young Jazz Rebels. Slave Riot is being sold to us as Madlib's "free jazz" album, but those expecting to hear the Madlib version of Albert Ayler's Love Cry will likely be disappointed. Rather, the 18 tracks that encapsulate Slave Riot express a form of freedom that is no looser or less improvisational than Miles Away or any other LP in the Yesterday's Universe canon. It definitely feels like the most jazz-flavored collection Jackson has brought forth yet, moving like a more experienced, chop-heavy version of such previous Yesterday's productions as Monk Hughes & the Outer Realm's A Tribute to Brother Weldon and Malik Flavors's Ugly Beauty EP in its shambolic fusion of electric and acoustic instrumentation. Slave Riot plays as if Madlib views his massive jazz collection as a giant tub of Lego blocks spilled out onto the floor, and he's sitting there experimenting with different combinations of the variant styles and sounds strewn before him. Like, "How would Herbie Hancock's Sextant sound if it was recorded all acoustically on ECM Records?" or "What would the Art Ensemble of Chicago be like had they been produced by David Axelrod?"
And, as most of the folks who enjoy a toke of the good old "Mother Nature" every now and again are well aware, "420" is the universal code for getting blazed on the greenest greens to arise from the dirt. Hence, April 20th has been adopted as a sort of unofficial national holiday for celebrating the mellow joys of Mary Jane. So it should come as no surprise that the fourth volume of Madlib's Medicine Show would be released on that date, especially given his unadulterated love for the ganja. And a 79-minute mix of some of the deepest, dankest reggae vibes in the Mad one's virtually bottomless cavern of vinyl seems wholly appropriate for this installment of his year-long series of releases. Fans of Mr. Jackson's woefully out-of-print 2002 Trojan Records mix Blunted in the Bomb Shelter will certainly find reason to praise Jah for the mindblowing selection of rare plates he spins across this set, nicknamed "Son of Super Ape", after the acclaimed pair of early '70s classics from the Upsetters. Educated reggae fans will hear crucial cuts from such choice Jamaican soundsystem greats as Fat Boy Riddim Section, Burning Spear, Dennis Brown, Big Youth, Roots Radics, Blackbeard, Sly and the Revolutionaries, Prince Jammy, Scientist, Augustus Pablo, and King Tubby, to name a few, bubbling up from under the textural scratches and vinyl crackle holding everything together. And to further enhance the whole "420" flavor emanating from this mix is a supplementary guide to the constantly growing list of medical marijuana dispensaries doing business in the East Los Angeles and Hollywood area, as well as a highly informative FAQ section answering many valid questions about the validity of these establishments.
All six of these releases prove, there isn't a harder working talent in underground hip-hop than Otis Jackson, Jr. And as the recent announcement of the fifth volume of the Madlib Medicine Show—a single-disc beat tape anthology chronicling his first ten years as a producer entitled The History of the Loop Digga, 1990-2000—so explicitly indicates, the Madlib Invazion of 2010 is far from over.

I am looking for a way to unlock an iphone or ipod touch when the device is picked up or moved. The purpose of this is to use the ipod touch as a dedicated universal remote control and having to hit home and then slide to unlock every time I want to change the channel is annoying.
Logitech Harmony remotes light up when you pick them up which is what I want to do.
The closest I have found is shake to unlock and another one that unlocks with activator but the only accelerometer action in activator is shake.
Screen dimmer seems to do the trick nicely!
I am curious how it'll affect the battery life though.

Toronto • Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's lawyer said Friday the mayor is "considering" rehab, a day after saying he was embarrassed by a new video showing him in a rambling rage, threatening to "murder" someone.
Dennis Morris told The Associated Press on Friday that Ford is "considering his options," including treatment. But he said "it's best we hear from his lips."
Morris said Ford needs to say he what he plans to do himself because "when you go left, he goes right."
Morris said Thursday was a defining day for the mayor of Canada's largest city. The mayor said he was "extremely, extremely inebriated" in the video and "embarrassed" by it.

The Soldier's Return
Great Commander Alex Vaughn
From: The New Alexandria Gazette
Published: 06 'February 2013
Phoenix, AZ (AP) - Yesterday, at approximately 6:30 PM, a thermonuclear device detonated in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. Although the exact amount of casualties is still being counted, reports that deaths, both military and civilian, could be upwards of 7.5 million. There was a military conflict occurring between the United States military and a militia seeking to create a coup d'etat at the time, and officials of the Secretary of Defense believe that the militia had illegally imported a thermonuclear weapon from Mexico before planting it beneath city hall and detonating it.
Numerous governmental agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have courdoned off the area do to lethal amounts of radiation. Currently, there is no comment from either agency...
Awakening... [0 Days, 0 Hours, 25 Minutes, 35 Seconds Post-Detonation]
Private First Class Derek Elias Anderson awoke to a terrible, paralyzing pain throughout his body. He could feel nothing, his entire body was numb. Groaning in pain, he sat up, shaking the dust and debris from off of his body. Suddenly remembering what had so suddenly occurred, he abruptly looked around the eerily silent landscape. Up in the sky, dark gray clouds hung over the entire world, and ash and fallout rained from the skies like evil black snow.
Wh...where am I? he thought to himself, trying to sit up but screaming in pain as he did. Around him, the world was burning, everything was red hot, and smoke drifted from the burning world into the skies, pieces of burning paper, cloth, ash, and rubble blew on the nuclear winds, and far off in the distance, he could see a mushroom cloud rising slowly into the air. "Hello!?" he called into the empty world, but his voice was hoarse and scratchy, he could barely hear himself. It hurt...everywhere...it hurt to breathe, it hurt to talk, it hurt to walk. His body was covered in gruesome burns, and he hoped that he hadn't been exposed to the radioactive fallout long enough to contract radiation poisoning. Covering his mouth with a silk handkerchief woven by his wife of little over a year, he stood up, stumbling away from the mushroom cloud, leaving the burning world behind him.
Seconds later, he cried out as he fell to the ground, landing painfully on his knees. The ground was burning hot beneath his touched, and it burned his hands. He jumped up, shaking away the heat, and as he took one step into the sandy earth just beyond the limits of a suburb to Phoenix, he heard the distinct cracking of glass. Looking down, he was amazed and terrified to see that the desert landscape was now almost entirely glass...but...
How was he still alive?
Realizing that he needed to keep moving to eliminate as much exposure to nuclear fallout as he could, he kept walking on, slowly, but surely. Around him, the buildings were burned and charred, and he felt a sudden sickness deep in his gut as he entered a playground, seeing the swings moving by themselves against the nuclear wind, the seats on fire. Everything was on fire...everything was a cherry red in color...and as he approached a brick wall belonging to what used to be a bank, he felt ill seeing the silhouette of a woman, hands up in the air, as if she was cowering away from the nuclear blast, burned into the side of the wall. Numb, he continued on, pausing for a rest a mile or two outside of city limits, at a junkyard where his unit, Delta Squad, was supposed to meet at the end of the day.
His Commanding Officer, CO for short, had informed them that this would be a quick and easy mission...simply move in, eliminate the coup, and evac, no problems whatsoever. No one had taken into account the recent chaos that had just ensued. He checked his watch, seeing that time had stopped...no surprise, such close proximity to a nuclear explosion would have sent out an EMP that would have fried all circuitry. He wandered around the junkyard, hoping to find some old, entirely mechanically run vehicle that he could hotwire to get the hell out of here. With this thought in mind, he grabbed the cross around his neck, recoiling at its boiling touch, and thanked God for the two years he had spent in college to be a mechanic, two years that he had, until now, felt he wasted on something that would never be used.
He finally found himself an old '89 Ford 350 pickup truck, and utilizing various scraps he found laying around, he managed to get it running after little more than a few hours, fueling up from diesel tanks he found in the basement of the lobby building, driving off into the desert and towards his home, one state over, approximately a nine or ten hour drive from here. He just hoped that this nuclear explosion did not reach his home, he worried for his wife...poor Maria must surely be worried sick about him, and his son of four months...how he hoped they were both okay...
Arrival... [1 Day, 12 Hours, 32 Minutes, 28 Seconds Post-Detonation]
He arrived at his hometown just as the sun was peeking to the east. The whole city was in complete chaos, people rioted in the streets, cops were shooting them. Bands of civilians, in response to the recent tragedy, had taken up arms against the local government, and he saw the Masons, his next door neighbors, standing on the street corner, beating two cops within inches of their lives. He slowed as he passed by, and he watched in horror as Bob Mason, an overall nice guy, someone who wouldn't seem to hurt a fly, put the barrel of a .22 gauge shotgun up against the back of one of the cops' heads before pulling the trigger. A boom of thunder, and blood and gray matter splattered the pavement as the cop, who had been kneeling, slumped over into the street, his life's blood draining into the storm drain on the street corner. Someone through a Molotov cocktail at him, and Derek slammed on the brakes as liquid fire splashed across his windshield, swerving off of the street and into a ditch.
Furious, he climbed out from the cab of the truck, reaching beneath the overturned bed as he grab his M16 and fired at the group of young, chocolate-skinned kids, fleeing from the scene of the attack. He managed to shoot one of them three times in the back, and he slumped forward into the street. As he ran towards them, preparing to shoot, two kids emerged from the looted drugstore, eyes gaping at the dead child in the street as they looked up at Derek, running after him with .357 Magnums. He shot them down as well, and continued up the street, walking in the shadows of the trees that grew alongside the main thoroughfare.
His house, amazingly, was unharmed, and he unlocked the front door, walking inside and trying to flip on the lights...nothing. Swearing that the EMP blast had made it all the way out here, he groped around in the dark, finding a flashlight he had stuffed away in the lobby closet, locked away in a Faraday cage...thank God for his paranoia. He flipped on the light, overjoyed that it still worked, and proceeded to walk upstairs. The house was quiet, save the occasional groans and moans that an old house made. He eventually found his way into the son's bedroom, finding the bed empty and made. Alarmed, he ran into his own bedroom, finding it empty as well. Looking around the room, he spotted a note written on college-ruled paper on his nightstand, and reading it, he said out loud:
Taking little Johnny over to Nana's house. Mom isn't feeling well, and I'm afraid that she's...I can't say it...
I don't know how long we'll be gone, I just hope that we can get back before you return for your Homecoming. I love you, sweetie, and I miss you...and I hope to see you soon. We pray for you every night, and we hope that you are okay.
Your Forever Faithful Wife, Maria.
Upon reading the message, he felt a pang of sadness, and he quickly picked up the phone from the cradle on his nightstand, dialing Maria's cell phone number as he prayed for a dial tone...silence.
"Shit!" he hissed, slamming the dead phone back into the cradle. He collapsed onto the foot of his bed, rubbing his temples as he struggled not to cry. He only hoped that Maria hadn't heard the news. Even though she used to fervently watch the daily news, ever since the branch of radical US soldiers, called the Maxia, had begun spouting lies about the militia that had protected the country since their founding in 1997, she had refrained from watching any more news, holding a furious, almost homicidal, grudge against the US President for supporting the Maxia Regime.
Finally gaining control of himself, he sat back up again and proceeded to the cellar, where he recovered a propane stove and proceeded to make himself a bowl of chili.
A Week Later... [8 Days, 4 Hours, Five Minutes, 4 Seconds Post-Detonation]
A week after his untimely return, Derek started noticing strange noises in his house...not the usual moans and groans of a settling house...but something else: footsteps, ghostly conversations, shadowy apparitions, and once, he was even awakened in the middle of the night by the hellish scream of a woman. He was sleeping soundly when the screaming voice of a panicking woman aroused him from his sleep. Jumping out of bed, heart racing, he quickly looked around, and he heard the hellish scream again. Another voice joined in, sounding male, and he saw a shadowy figure race into the bedroom, passing right through him and fading away behind him.
Screaming in terror, he ran out of the bedroom, downstairs, and out of the house, pausing on the streets to catch his breath as he looked back at his house, now illuminated with candles in every window. A shadowy figure passed by his bedroom window, up on the second floor, far right side, and he was filled with an overwhelming urge not to go back inside. That night, he fell asleep in an old treehouse across the street, awakening the next morning to return to his house. At first, he felt silly, the house looked perfectly normal and welcoming, and he wondered if he had just dreamed or imagined the whole thing...sure he had awakened in the neighbor boy's treehouse, but he had a long history of sleepwalking.
Hesitantly walking inside of his empty house, he searched every square inch of the house, looking for any sign of the spirits he had encountered the previous night. There was nothing, however, and he resumed his normal activities.
The Haunt Worsens [10 Days, 0 Hours, 1 Minute, 2 Seconds Post-Detonation]
It happened again...
Just like last time, he was sleeping in his bed, only to be awakened by the screaming woman. As he opened his eyes, he was instantly terrified to see a young woman, with long, ruby-blonde hair, wearing a long nightgown, standing pressed against his closet door, staring at him. He screamed as he jumped up, and she quickly made a run for the bedroom door. Finally gathering his courage, he reached beneath his pillow, revealing a combat knife, and chased after the spirit, unsure of whether the weapon could harm it, but at least hoping that he could deter it. As he raced downstairs, he heard the sound of crashing pots and pans and ran into the kitchen.
Upon entry, he saw no woman, but the table had been set, as if someone was preparing supper. This image was very brief, and within seconds, it dissipated, returning to the barren emptiness. As he turned, wanting to go to the phone on the coffee table in the living room, to try and call his wife again, he heard a echoing clucking of a man's deep chuckle. "Feeling a little lonely?" a deep, airy voice rang out, and he quickly turned around, falling back as he saw a man, clad in a shredded, moldy officer's uniform, throat slit from ear to ear, head cocked to the side, dark, empty socketed, purple-rimmed eyes wide in his skeletal face, mouth drooped and hanging open. His mouth moved with speech, but that was the only feature, and his head remained to the side, barely hanging from the spine. Although there was no blood, the pale, gray-skinned lips of the wound were thick and clean, and there was only darkness where his throat had been slit.
Further adding to the horror, the hilt and pommel of a rusty bowie knife stuck out from the back of the office, and he didn't walk, he actually hovered, swaying side to side, arms down at his side, shoulders relax, body stiff and erect, and he swayed in place, like a pendulum. With every pass, he flickered in and out of visibility, and a low, pulsating drone sounded whenever he was around. His breath was thick and liquid, sounding vaguely similar to Darth Vader's, and his voice wasn't deep...it was a loud, windy whisper, the words barely audible. Mumbling something, he flickered away, and that drone disappeared along with him. The hellish apparition gone, Derek finally released his held breath, and he covered his ears as he heard the ghostly sound of children's laughter and playing. The creaking of swings sounded as well, and he realized that it was the sounds of the playground he had passed...
A little girl's voice called out, saying, "Look mommy! Look at the pretty clouds!"
An older woman, presumably the mother, about early thirties, said, "Don't go too far!"
"Look, Mommy! Look!" and she laughed before there was a loud bang, and her laugh began a shrill scream of terror and horror, "MOMMY! MOMMY! HELP ME! HELP ME!"
In an instant...the ghostly sounds faded away, and Derek was left alone in the silence. After this occurrence, every night was met with the same thing. The screaming woman would rouse him from sleep at around 2200 hours, and he would chase the female apparition into the kitchen, only to be intercepted by the undead horror in his living room. Soon...this wasn't all.
He began to...see things...throughout the day. It wasn't just the apparitions at night anymore. Throughout the day, he would see the forms of bloodied, undead soldiers walking around his house, soldiers whom he knew he had killed in the hours leading up to the nuclear explosion. One was the most clear...a young boy, no more than 18, with big blue eyes, so struck with fear and innocence...
It had been obvious that the boy was a little...a little slow, and although he held a gun and was shooting. It was clear that he had no idea what he was doing or shooting at. When the retarded boy had landed a shot that had caught Derek's friend in the stomach, killing him from septic shock, Derek, in his fury, had brutally beaten the boy within an inch of his life before putting a 9mm round between his eyes. The boy, he remembered, had let loose such a terror-stricken scream of pain and terror...that it had roused Derek from his blind rage, and he instantly felt deep remorse for the murder.
The boy was not a soldier...
He had been merely protecting his ailing mother and their home from the two armies.
He began to see this boy, everywhere he looked, and he wasn't the only one. One by one, Derek was forced to undergo the mental and emotional torments dealt upon him by the spirits of all he men and women he had killed during that battle. The screaming woman in his bedroom, or the male apparition seeming to protect her no longer was the chief of his concerns. These soldier spirits haunting him wanted him dead...wanted him to suffer the same fate that they had. Emotionally, he began to collapse, losing his sanity. He began talking to himself, talking to the spirits, talking to inanimate objects even. His wife owned a big, life-size teddy bear that he had surprised her by purchasing for their anniversary, coincidentally Valentine's Day, during his tour in Iraq back in 2002. It was the one year anniversary of when they had started dating.
She treasured the bear, to the point where Derek would sometimes playfully tease her for it. When she had suddenly left, she had not taken it with her. By now, it had been a month since the nuclear explosion, and Derek began to fear that his wife was dead, he hadn't seen her since the day before he left to Fort Anderson in the Terminator capital of New Alexandria for training, nearly seven months earlier. He began to talk to the bear...and it talked back! It talked in a hillariously British voice, and he would carry on normal conversations with it, unaware that he was really the one telling the teddy bear's side of the conversation, falling into a cheap British accent to cover for his voice.
All Hell Breaks Loose...
He was done...it was too much.
The spirits returned again! They kept persisting! They wouldn't leave him alone! Every hour of every day, they lingered around him, everywhere he looked, they were there, chanting in deep, monotonous voice in ancient Latin, chanting some inaudible phrase. No matter how hard he tried to drown out the chant, it remained, and it further broke what little remained of his sanity. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
He cried out to the empty house.
His scream was met with a flood of visions...of memories of the battle, flooding his mind, all in gruesome detail. "I say, dear ol' boy!" Teddy began, "Isn't it just...hyper-realistic?"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he moaned, collapsing onto the couch, wrapping his arms around his knees, and rocking back and forth, "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"See the Truth..." the nearly decapitated officer chanted, "See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth."
"See the Truth..." a little girl said, suddenly appearing behind him. She was dressed in a clean white dress, and her voice carried on in monotony, "See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth."
"See the Truth..." Teddy said, standing up and clumsily walking towards him, "See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth. See the Truth."
"What TRUTH!?"
He abruptly rotated on his heels and ran away from the voices, away from the chant, away from everything. They chased him, marching towards him, stumbling towards him. They chased him upstairs, the visions returned, blocking out all view of the world before him. He slipped and fell, his fist going through the stained glass cofee table where his wife's treasured vase, a family heirloom, sat. The vase hit the ground, shattering, and Derek, unaware of the pieces of glass jammed deep in his hand, or the blood running down between his fingers and onto the stained oak floorboards, continued his sprint towards his room. He fell through the doorway, hitting the ground, looking up and screaming when he saw that his room had...it had changed! The furniture was brand new, the dingy blue carpet on the floor had been pulled, revealing beautiful, stained oak floors. He ran to the new nightstand, unaware that he was ripping out the drawers tearing everything apart until he found a scrapbook saying, "Our Loving Family..."
All sense gone, eyes wide with insanity, he tore through the book, ripping out the pages, howling like an animal when he saw photographs of his wife, looking young, happy, and now with dyed, ruby-blond hair, sitting on a park bench with another man, another one of his soldier buddies. The man held a guitar, and his wife was resting her head on his shoulder.
He checked the date of the photograph...February 14th, 2016.
"WHAT!?" he roared, "It isn't 2016!"
Tearing through the book some more, he found yellowed newspaper clippings and older photographs of his wife and himself, back when they were still dating, including their wedding photograph. Then he found a photgraph of himself, taken in New Alexandria a week before he was deployed to Phoenix. Scrawled along the bottom of the photograph, in his wife's fine handwriting, in red marker, was the cryptic phrase, "In Loving Memory...February 14th 2001 - February 5th, 2013. You Were the Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me..."
"What is this?" he asked, eyes wild and insane.
He turned the very next page...and his heart sank as he read what he saw there...printed on a newsclipping, stained with teardrops.
"Derek Elias Anderson: March 21st, 1980 - February 5th, 2013. Derek Elias Anderson returned to our Holy Father's loving embrace on February 5th, 2013 in Phoenix, AZ. He was a Private First Class in the United States Army, serving a tour in Iraq before leaving to join the Terminator Militia in late 2009. He is survived by his loving wife Maria Rogers, John "Jake" Anderson-Rogers, his mother, Alice Anderson, and two brothers and sisters..."

Blocking single gene makes cancer cells nicer, study finds

Somewhat like the way that gently lifting a cat by the scruff of the neck seems to magically calm it down, blocking a single gene in tumor cells makes them less vicious, a study has found. That gene is normally supposed to be turned off long before we're born—but in many cancer cells it's aberrantly switched back on, giving them embryo-like powers of growth, scientists explained. However, they found that repressing it in cancer cells largely shuts down cell growth and a range of processes tumors need to enlarge and spread to distant sites. The researchers hope targeting this "master regulator" gene may be a key to future treatments. It's "normally turned off in adult cells, but it is very active during embryonic development and in all highly aggressive tumors studied to date," said Linda Resar of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., a researcher involved the work. "Switching this gene off in aggressive cancer cells dramatically changes their appearance and behavior." The findings were reported May 2 in the research journal PLoS One. Resar has long been investigating a group of related genes, called high mobility group or HMG genes. Beside their role in cancer, they're essential for giving stem, or immature, cells their special powers of growth and change—which is no coincidence, she said. "Many investigators consider cancer cells to be the evil twin of stem cells, because like stem cells, cancer cells must acquire special properties to enable the tumor to grow and metastasize or spread to different sites," she explains. Resar and her team have devised ways to block one of these genes, called HMGA1, in stem cells to study what it does. In prior work, they found the gene is needed for "reprogramming" adult cells, like blood or skin cells, into stem cells that share most, if not all, properties of embryonic stem cells. In the new work, the team applied the same methods to several strains of breast cancer cells, including so-called triple negative cells, which tend to be aggressive and resist even powerful therapies. The researchers blocked HMGA1 "expression"—that is, the activity of the gene, meaning the process in which the body uses a gene's DNA code to make a specific type of protein, which usually carries out some function in the body. Next, the researchers watched the cells' appearance and growth patterns. "The aggressive breast cancer cells grow rapidly and normally appear spindle-shaped or thin and elongated. Remarkably, within a few days of blocking HMGA1 expression, they appeared rounder and much more like normal breast cells growing in culture," said Resar. The team also found that the cells with the suppressed gene grow very slowly and fail to migrate or invade new territory like their nastier cousins. The team next implanted tumor cells into mice to see how the cells would behave. The tumors with HMGA1 grew and spread to other areas, such as the lungs, they said, while those with the blocked gene didn't grow well in the breast tissue or spread to distant sites. "From previous work, we know that HMGA1 turns on many different genes needed during very early development, but it's normally turned off by the time we're born," said postdoctoral fellow Sandeep Shah, who led the study. "Flipping that master regulator back on seems to be necessary for a cancer to become highly aggressive, and now we've seen that flipping HMGA1 off again can reverse that aggressive behavior." The next step, Resar said, is to try to develop a therapy based on that principle. The team is working with other researchers at Johns Hopkins to see whether HMGA1-blocking molecules could be delivered to tumors inside sub-microscopic particles, or nanoparticles. Another possible approach, she said, would be to block not HMGA1 itself, but one of the pathways or processes that it affects.

The Hudson River's whitewater is most powerful in the spring and fall; rafting is somewhat more moderate in mid-summer. Scheduled whitewater dam releases assure terrific rafting fun all season long.
Whitewater rafting releases from Lake Abanakee add extra water to the Hudson River even during our high adventure Spring season, making this a favorite rafting destination even for whitewater pros. Speaking of pros, our dedicated team of whitewater guides makes this a rafting trip that even first-timers can enjoy.

I set up with my canon 7D, using a 60mm macro lens and an inexpensive yet robust Neeweer Ring Flash. I reviewed the Neeweer a few blog posts ago (http://www.chriskiezphotography.com/1/post/2012/02/macro-ring-flash-led-light-by-neewer.html). Its a no-frills unit; you can't dial down the power of the LCD lights, and I'm sure the LCD lights used are not 100% natural daylight output like on the $500 models, but this one was $30.00 and does an acceptable job in my opinion.
Why use a ring flash with a macro lens?
A ring flash sits at the end of your lens, attached by an adapter ring which the light housing then slots onto. The flash is made of a series of small LED light bulbs arrayed in a circle, so as to provide a ring of consistent light output around your lens (see bottom of this blog for a picture of the Neeweer ring flash).

Family won't open Carnegie's Forsythe Miniature Golf and Snacks this summer
Forsythe Miniature Golf and Snacks in Carnegie will be closed this summer for the first time in seven decades.
The tree-lined, 18-hole mini golf course and candy shop off Forsythe Road, at the edge of Carnegie Park, is a well-known recreation spot in the south suburbs that has been family-operated since it opened in 1942. But Sue Stasiuk of Boston, niece of owner Wanda Forsythe Clay, said the family is not able to continue running the business.
"Everybody is going in different directions right now," she said.
Keeping the seasonal course closed was a hard decision, but family members are comfortable with it, she said. "This has been coming for a while," she said. "It just seems like the right thing to do now."
Carnegie Mayor Jack Kobistek said it's a loss for the area. He has lived in the borough for more than 20 years and raised his family there.
"My kids are going to be disappointed — my whole family is," he said. "We've golfed at that little golf course since my kids were little, and they're teenagers now. Now they go golf with their friends."
Stasiuk's great-great-uncle, George Lang, came up with the idea for the golf course in 1939 as he sought solace over his wife's death. He approached Joe Forsythe, who was his great-nephew and Stasiuk's grandfather, about building the complex on Forsythe's property on Cooks Lane.
Stasiuk said the family grew up on the course, and she and her sister started working at it when they were just 8 years old.
"My grandfather would have us scrape the rails, and we'd paint them red," she said. "We maintained the course. At the end of the day, he'd check our hands for calluses to see if we worked hard enough for the day."
After the golf course was established, Stasiuk's grandmother, Grace Forsythe, opened the penny candy shop. Stasiuk said she remembers the kids of the family helping stock the many candy jars.
"The display was amazing. She was so proud of it," she said. "Kids would fill up their baskets full of candy and take it down watch everyone golf on the course."
Numerous family members have owned and maintained the course.
"Four of us over time took over, after my grandmother and grandfather handed it over to us," Stasiuk said.
A hole-in-one on the 18th hole gave visitors a free game. Stasiuk said her grandfather would sit at the last hole and watch golfers attempt the feat. And when someone got hit with a club, a free ice pop was in store to hold on the bump or bruise.
"It's a very homespun business," she said, "and always has been."
Kobistek said that while there are no plans in place right now, he would like to save the course.
"I do want to throw some ideas out and see if anything is acceptable," he said.
One idea he floated was to — under adult supervision — allow high school students to operate and care for the course.
"I'd like to see something like that," he said. "It helps young people earn a little money, and it helps keep the golf course open. To me, something like that could benefit the community in a couple ways,"
