Ankaragucu sign Altinordu duo!
Ankaragucu have completed the signings of Arif Morkaya and Yusuf Abdioglu from Altinordu both on free transfers. They have both played a key part in Altinordu moving up the divisions and cementing their place in the PTT Lig.
While the two were jetting in, Emre Sahin, Orhan Gulle, Mehmet Tasci, Hursit Tasci and Harun Aydin all left the club.
In other news, Ankaragucu will play their home games this season at the Yenikent stadium on the outskirts of the city much to the disappointment of the fans due to its location.

So did you go to the Bournemouth Beer Festival? I was there for the Saturday evening session.
First let's get the negatives out of the way. Signage at the BIC could have been better.
When I arrived the front door of the BIC was locked and there was just a sign saying 'Beer Festival - Use Purbeck Hall Entrance' and an arrow pointing up Exeter Road.
A little map showing how to get to the entrance would have helped! Another grumble was the catering; OK this is Dorset where everything is at a premium price, but £6.50 for a couple of sausages and a dollop of mash was a bit excessive - the staff even had the nerve to make comments about keeping the change when I handed over a £10 note.
Catering people, please go to 'Pigs Ears Festival' in East London in December and see how it should be done. I must admit the gravy was very nice though.
Now onto the positives, of which there were many. You may have read my previews of the beers on this site - I said then that I thought the range of beers was good with many award winners amongst them, and so it turned out to be.
It was inevitable that some beers would not make the festival but I think there was more added to the beer list than taken away.
I know that a couple were sold out by the Saturday evening - it seems that the organisers were taken aback as to how well the event was going in terms of beer sales.
I have also been told that the Cider ran out at one stage and emergency supplies were called for.
I was surprised by this as East Dorset CAMRA have run very successful festivals in Poole for a number of years and should be in a position to gauge how much beer and Cider is needed. Perhaps we were just extra thirsty that weekend!
So overall I thought it was a great venue, plenty of seating, friendly knowledgeable staff, good music and everyone seemed to be having a cracking time. So over to you. Did you go? If so what did you think of the event, the location etc and, most importantly, what beers did you try and which did you like and which left you flat?

So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
George W. Bush is heading to New Orleans today, as part of a renewed federal government response to the impact of Hurricane Katrina. I'm sure the citizens are thrilled.
Now, George, thanks to the wonders of modern science we practically watched this thing land. Everbody knew it was coming, and we had a pretty good idea of how devastating it would be. The end result was entirely predictable.
So sorry you had to break into your 5 weeks of vacation to make this little visit. It just doesn't seem right, does it?

1. You are lovable. You are not a burden, a charity case, or a waste of anyone's time. You are chosen. You are wanted. You belong.
2. No one will be able to make you feel secure about your relationship with them until you start to see yourself as lovable.
3. It is safe to exist, just as you are. It's safe to ask yourself questions like: "How do I feel?" "What do I think?" "What do I want to say?"
4. You don't have to perform. Love doesn't require we show up "put together" or "perfect". Love doesn't want facades, it just wants you to come exactly as God made you- flaws and all.
5. Your flaws don't make you "bad" or "wrong" or "less than."
6. You can speak freely. You don't have to weigh every single word you say. It's okay if you're not always understood, if people don't always agree, and if what you say isn't funny, because you're safe.
7. Not everything social interaction is a test. Love doesn't demand you keep proving yourself.
8. You don't have to view your life through the lens of "How do I not measure up? How much about me do people see as 'wrong'?" You are not inferior. You are exactly who God intended you to be.
9. You don't have to do what everyone else is doing. You don't have to try to be like others in order to measure up.
10. Love doesn't walk out on you.
11. Not everything in life has to feel scary.

One of the experimental heating plots at Blodgett Forest Research Station in California. The ring around the plot protects the wiring supplying 22 heating cables that each go 2.4 meters into the ground. Each plot also has soil temperature and moisture sensors that measure continuously and automated chambers that measure soil respiration every 30 minutes. [Image courtesy Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]
Findings from a whole-soil warming experiment show that deeper soil layers are more sensitive to warming than previously thought.
The Science
Scientists created a field experiment in a conifer forest in California to explore, for the first time, what happens to organic carbon trapped in soil when all soils are warmed. In this case, the soil layers extended to a depth of 100 cm. Warming the whole profile by 4°C increased annual soil respiration by 34% to 37%. More than 40% of this increase in respiration came from below 15-cm depth (i.e., below the depth considered by most studies).
The Impact
The impact of warming on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is a major uncertainty in climate feedbacks. This whole-soil warming experiment found a larger respiration response than (1) many other controlled experiments, which may have missed the response of deeper soils; and (2) most models. Thus, the strength of the soil carbon-climate feedback may be underestimated.
Soil organic carbon harbors three times as much carbon as Earth's atmosphere, more than half of that below 20-cm depth. The response of whole-soil profiles to warming has not been tested in situ. In this deep warming experiment in mineral soil, CO2 production from all soil depths increased significantly with 4°C warming; annual soil respiration increased by 34% to 37%. All depths responded to warming with similar temperature sensitivities, driven by decomposition of decadal-aged carbon. Whole-soil warming reveals a larger soil respiration response than many in situ experiments, most of which only warm the surface soil, and models.
In this year-round experiment, plots were warmed by a ring of 22 vertical heating cables installed to 2.4-m depth. Three plots (3-m diameter each) were warmed, and three served as controls. Soil respiration was measured by chambers at the surface and gas tubes at five depths. Radiocarbon content of CO2 and soil fractions suggests that respiration—and its warming response—was dominated by decadal cycling carbon.

This week I would like to indulge my fellow bassists and their search for the perfect solid state, single channel, light-wattage combo amp. Fair warning: if you're the type of bass player who wants two 4x12 cabs hooked up to some tube-rectifier zillion-watt head and who only plays in the decibel levels of Satan's howling, this blog may not be for you. However, if you're a bassist searching for a medium to small combo amp and you also happen to be interested in UFC fighting, this may just be the best article you've stumbled upon in the last ten minutes. Probably.
Why write about UFC fighters and combo amps in the same article? Let me break it down for you…
When my husband and I watch UFC fights, we always attempt to predict who will win before the fight even starts, and we each have a system. His system is based almost solely on the context of the fight and how the fighter looks; seemingly superfluous things like the color of their trunks or the amount of tattoos and facial hair they have. He swears that this system can determine the winner of a fight about 90% of the time. On the other hand, my system tends to be more about the stats (specs) of the fighter himself: how tall is he? What's his reach? How old is he? What is his primary fighting style? Previous fight records, etc? Each of us swears our particular system is the best way to gauge the outcome of a fight, although we tend to focus on only some of the factors of a fight, not all of them. My husband focuses on the context, I focus on measurable, quantifiable stuff 'n junk.
In a way, comparing one bass amp to another is a lot like watching a UFC title fight. Each amp, like each fighter, has its own strengths, weaknesses, reputation, specialty, and overall sense of appeal. So let's imagine I'm hosting a fight at the octagon between these two contenders:
Weighing in at a convenient, manageable 18.3 pounds and boasting a sizeable 20 watts and a single eight-inch speaker, it's the PEAVEY MAX 158 COMBO BASS AAAAAAAMMMMPPP!! *cheers, applause, wooing, beer tossing*
Weighing it at a substantial but still portable 22 lbs, boasting 15 watts and a single eight-inch speaker, it's the newly redesigned FENDEERRR RRRRRRRRRRUUUMMMBBBLLLEE 15!! *more cheers, wooing, general rowdiness*
Okay, I'm done pretending to be a fight announcer because typing like this is dumb and hard. Let's cut the showmanship and get in the fight and see how each one of these holds up against the other. We'll start with my system and dive into the specs, and then we'll use my husband's system; evaluating each on context and general feel of the thing.
Round #1: Usability
The Peavey Max: as far as reputation is concerned, it's hard to paint Peavey's amplifier manufacturing in a bad light. As a bass player and a regular live-performer, if I can have my choice of bass amp brands, I'd almost always appreciate a Peavey something-or-other. I've had my Peavey Minx 110 for years (I use it as an acoustic amp as well), and I love the dang thing. The Max series of amplifiers are nothing but Peavey, and that's always a good thing in my book. But let's dig into this a little deeper and see if the Max has what it takes in my "bass amp title championship: lightweight division".
As mentioned before, the Max 158 outputs 20 watts at 4 ohms through an eight-incher. Controls include a fairly simple 3-band EQ (low, mid, high) with a couple of extra goofy Peavey things thrown in. Like a fighter who's not afraid of diversity in his style and is always willing to try a new move, the Max has a couple of interesting features to help tailor your tone; some of it helpful, some of it, maybe not so much. It just depends on what you need when you need it. On the volume control, you have a push-button distortion boost (on the larger Max models, you'll find it beneath the gain switch). This will basically kick you into the dirty department much faster than having to crank up to an unholy volume, which is helpful if that's what you're looking for in your sound. On the EQ, you also get a mid-shift button which helps shape the contour of your mids depending on where your knob is set (also very versatile and you can get a lot of different noises out of a few different presses of a button).
Peavey also chose to toss their new "Psycho-Acoustic Low-End Enhancement" button on their which…unless you really want to dive into the sophisticated concepts of psychological perceptive sound, the practical use of the button is, essentially, a low-end booster. I know that's not technically that simple, but this is the UFC, dangit, and no one came here for a lesson in physiological auditory physics. At least, not his week ;)
As far as strict usability and comprehension is concerned, the extra bells and whistles that can come with a Peavey bass amp (even the smaller ones) may come across to some players as "overthinking it" just a little. With the Max series, I've found there's a bit of fiddling one has to do before you find a good tone (or at least, my idea of a "good tone"). However, the possibilities the extra features afford you can often make up for the extra fiddley-fiddley-fiddley in certain contexts. A lot of this is determined by your genre, or the particular sound you're looking for; and once you get passed some of Peavey's jargon, it isn't a hard amp to understand and operate.
The Fender Rumble: Though Fender isn't exactly world-renowned for their bass amps, we here at Bigfoot have been pretty impressed with Fender's Rumble Series. Think of it as the newcomer challenging the title champ. And the Rumble is easily comparable to the Max, if not perhaps an improvement…? You'll have to decide for yourself.
The Rumble 15 is a simple 15 watter at 8 ohms coming out of an eight-inch as well. In classic Fender amp tradition, it's not so much about the extra features as it is about doing a few things, but doing them well. Plain and simple 3-band EQ and a volume knob; not too flashy, but certainly packs a punch. A very accessible and consistent amp, easy enough for amateurs and pros to use. This would be the amp for simple rehearsals, smaller live gigs, or just a decent all-around great sounding amp. Though it doesn't provide as many features or tone-coloring options as its competitor, but it makes up for it by being a simple, sophisticated piece of technology that is ready to have you plug-in and play right away. It's an eager fighter, and it fights by instinct and feel.
Round #2: The Sounds Themselves
The Max: Like I said in the previous round, the Max's strengths are in its extra bits and bobs. The versatility and diversity of the amp is probably what it has to offer most extensively, what with the distortion and low-end boosts and the handy mid-shift option. However, the downside to having more options is needing to fiddle and finagle trying to lock in that one sound you're after. I've also found that tonewise, the speaker tends to bottom out on the low-end relatively quickly once you start venturing into higher volumes and gain. Basically, not as much clean headroom as most bassists may be used to. But that's not necessarily a deal breaker, especially if you want dirty signal fast. For some of you high-gainers who are in search of a practice amp with dirtier tone that comes to you quick, the Max may be your holy grail.
The Rumble: In nearly the opposite vein, the Rumble 15, despite being a little shrimp of a thing, boasts a surprising amount of clean headroom. It has a simple tone, but with plenty of dimension and body. Keeping in the UFC fighter analogy, it's a fighter that fights simply and effectively. Personally, this is the sort of bass tone I'm usually after, and you can get pretty loud before it starts to distort or bottom out. This is an amp that keeps to the best of Fender without disappointing a bassist's ear for good, wholesome tone.
So now, the final consensus…
Round #3: The Judges' Final Call
Back to the beginning of the article when I was saying how though each of us have our own system for gauging a fight, neither of us gauge the fight by all of its merits. I may rely more on the numbers in any given UFC fight, but that doesn't always mean the numbers will mean anything in that particular context. On any sort of bad day, prize-fighters can go down in one swing despite how many hits they landed or how many points they racked up the round before. And the same thing could be said for my husband's system: evaluating a fighter just on the sixth sense principal and gauging a fight only by its context without keeping the stats in mind may be a poorly-informed way of making a decision.
Of course, the real UFC judges who aren't just sitting around in their own potato chip crumbs on their buddy's couch and do this crap for a living take every fight under consideration of both systems: the numbers AND the way the fight played out anyhow. The best fighter isn't always chosen because of his number of strikes or points, or even his technique. By the same token, they don't just go with which fighter who put on the best show and was the most appealing (usually, they're still human and make bad calls on occasion). But to pick a good winner is to evaluate the fight and the fighter as a whole.
With amps, it's the same thing. With any given amplifier (and any of us here at the shop would be happy to rant your ear off about the whys of this), specs don't mean squat if the amp sounds like crap. You could have "ideal" wattage, impedance, speaker efficiency, circuitry components, and spend upwards of a grand on a custom boutique amp but…if that amp happens to sound bad to you, or bad for what you're trying to do in that context, what's the point of all those numbers? Same thing goes the other way…you could just take a stab in the dark on an amp that may sound good, but if you don't know the practical limits and advantages of your amp, it may be hard for you to use that amp to its full creative potential. You have to consider both sides: does it sound good and is it the right amp for what you want to do?
So, what's the overall opinion on each of these amps?
The Peavey Max 158 ($109.99): though the Max has a lot going for it in one combo amp, it may only best suit a certain genre or style and context. I could see this amp being much more useful for recording of in-studio work rather than a live gig. I think Peavey consistently makes cool, versatile amps and they are constantly impressing me with their innovation, but if you'd rather not bother with the extras and you happen to be pickier about your tone, the Rumble may be the better contender for you in this fight.
The Fender Rumble 15 ($79.99): I personally think this is an overall higher quality amp for the kind of money we're dealing with here and will serve you well for live gigs or studio work in most genres. I prefer simple tones and good, clean headroom most of the time. But that's just me. If, however, you like the options that the Peavey Max provides, the ability to dial in your particular sound, and you don't mind a little extra time and attention, or if you're just bored and fed up with traditional bass tones, then I'd definitely give the Max a test-drive and put it through its paces to see if it would be your title champ.
So, the next time you're out shopping for amps and you're stuck between a couple of them, just do what I do and pretend you're a UFC judge...hopefully minus the Tap-Out shirts and the backwards sunglasses. That stuff is ridiculous. You're not fooling anyone.
Stay excellent and have a good week!

Re: English & Irish Gleasons are not related
adrian brisee 1/19/00
In fairness to White, I think he merely sponsored the book which was actually edited by Lillian Wilson.In her remarks she states that the volume was compiled from notes prepared by Albert H. Gleason of Chicago, and by Joseph Meade Gleason of Cincinnati with the "valuable assistance of Daniel A. Gleason of Boston.Other insertions by the editor were from various town records and also from books by Stiles, Temple, Fisk, Fairbanks, Daggett and Root. Also included was a separate section on the descendants of Rufus Gleason by Mrs. Miriam Gleason Truesdell.
So you can see that it would be almost impossible to have such a book without error!However, an indexed listing of 5464 descendents of Thomas is very very useful andinfinately more accurate than anything from the IGI, for example. I wish there were equivalent books for my other lines! Most genealogies are very narrow and criptic.
I have the Higginson book which is Xeroxed but very well done and the hard-cover option is a good quality navy blue cover with gold leaf printing. The hard binding is $10 extra but worth it, I think. If I remember correctly I paid $92 total. I have also ordered the CD @ $27.50 pre-pub price so that I can do lookups with or without my computer. The CD will be published sometime in March and uses the Adobe Acrobat reader.

Here Are All the Results of Super Tuesday For Each State
Donald Trump romped through the second biggest day in American politics – only November presidential elections are grander – etching his name on seven trophies in the Republican party's Super Tuesday display case.
Scroll down for full results by state.
Three states, Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska, eluded his grasp and went to Ted Cruz, a senator from the Lone Star State.
And Marco Rubio had a dismal night, claiming only Minnesota's caucuses.
In the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton swept seven states over Bernie Sanders – a commanding performance that will settle nerves in her campaign.
But the rest of the night belonged to The Donald.
The billionaire real estate tycoon has been declared the GOP primary winner in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
Cruz held on to claim Texas on the strength of an almost single-minded campaign strategy that ceded other southern territories to Trump.
Partly as a result, the GOP front-runner's early victories set a blowout pace.
The tea party senator later added Oklahoma to his column in an unexpected development: Trump had out-polled him there a week ago by a dozen percentage points. And early in the morning Cruz won Alaska by 2.6 per cent.
Bragging rights will go to the senator in the year's first 'closed' GOP primary, where voters were required to register as Republicans weeks earlier, could go either way.
But the front-runner Trump broke Cruz's serve in return, winning in Arkansas despite trailing there in recent polls.
Eleven states in all hosted Republican presidential primaries or caucuses on Tuesday, and pre-election polling showed Trump with solid leads in eight of the contests.
The results will determine how many delegates who are 'bound' to each candidate will attend this year's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Associated Press declared Trump the victor in Georgia – the first decision of the night – almost immediately after polls closed at 7:00 p.m.
With 77.2 per cent of the votes counted in the Peach State, The Donald had a 40-24 lead over Cruz, his nearest competitor. Rubio was just a hair's breadth further back.
By 8:00 p.m. the former reality TV star had punched his nomination ticket in three more states just minutes after their polling places closed for the day.
Virginia jumped into Trump's win column at around 8:45 p.m. Arkansas came at 10:25.
But Cruz's two victories establish that Trump's brand of populism hasn't yet penetrated fully into cowboy country.
In a Super Tuesday speech, Trump congratulated Cruz on his Texas win but took a swipe at Rubio.
'I know it was a very tough night for Marco Rubio. he had a tough night,' Trump told a packed room of journalists and well-wishers at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
'He is a lightweight as I've said many times before.'
{adinserter 2}
He blasted the first-term senator who is 25 years his junior, saying that the decision to go negative in the past week doomed his chances.
'I always liked Marco until about a week ago when he decided to go hostile,' Trump said as chuckles filled the room.
'He decided to become Don Rickles, okay? But Don Rickles has a lot more talent.'
'At least you could say that Ted Cruz has won something,' he boomed from a gilded posium set up on a small stage in front of a row of American flags.
'He hasn't won anything. And he actually hasn't come very close.'
Rubio would be named the victor in Minnesota an hour later.
After tonight's significant win, Trump told DailyMail.com during a press conference that his string of triumphs will make it difficult for Republican Party insiders to argue that he shouldn't be their standard-bearer.
'I have millions and millions of people,' he said, describing the army of peasants wielding political pitchforks on his behalf.
And as a result, he claimed, 'the Republicans have tremendous energy. The Democrats don't. … Their numbers are down. Our numbers are through the roof.'
'We could win nine states today,' Trump mused. 'If I'm going to win all of these states with tremendous numbers, and if I'm going to come in, the worst is second, in the two or three that I might not win, I think, you know, we're a democracy.'
'I think it's awfully hard to say that's not the person we want to lead the party.'
He spoke too soon, it turned out, as he placed third in Minnesota – the one state Rubio carried.
Trump also warned that when Super Tuesday is over, 'I'm going to go after one person: Hillary Clinton.'
He pegged much of his support to a nationwide financial crisis that's unfolding at the level of individual households, and said Clinton's own victory speech after her string of Democratic primary victories shows that she 'doesn't have a clue' how to reverse it.
'In her speech she just said, "They're making less money",' Trump observed.
'Well, she's been there with Obama for a long period of time. Why hasn't she done anything about it?'
And her record at the helm of President Obama's state department was 'abysmal,' he charged, in a likely test balloon of general election messaging.
'You look at what's going on with Syria. You look at what's going on with everything. It's a disaster!'
And in a momentary detour on Clinton's classified-email scandal, he paused and looked into the sea of cameras and reporters.
'I don't know that she's going to be allowed to run. What she did is a criminal act,' he said.
'If she's allowed to run, honestly it would be a sad day for this country. Because what she did was wrong. And other people have done far less than her and they paid a very, very big price.'
Ted Cruz positioned himself as the Republicans' only viable alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump during his speech after the results came in.
'Tonight was another decision point and the voters have spoken,' Cruz said. 'Tomorrow morning we have a choice.'
Cruz then said that as long as the field was still 'divided' – with Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Ben Carson still hanging on – 'Donald Trump's path to the nomination remains more likely and that would be a disaster for Republicans, for conservatives and for the nation.'
'And after tonight we have seen that our campaign is the only campaign that has beaten, that can beat and that will beat Donald Trump,' Cruz claimed.
Rubio went on CNN later in the evening and suggested that Cruz's performance was underwhelming and said he wouldn't be dropping out.
'Tonight was supposed to be Ted Cruz's big night, not a night where he won two states, he was supposed to have that Southern firewall and it didn't happen,' Rubio said.
Some of Tuesday's races hold implications beyond the simple question of how many delegates to the summer GOP convention each candidate will control.
In the key November swing state of Virginia, for instance, pundits were watching vote totals for signs of whether a Republican nominee could challenge Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton there.
Turnout was on pace to set a new record, and Trump needed every advantage. He won by just 30,000 votes among more than 1 million cast.
Trump also scored a gold medal in Vermont.
With 93 per cent of precincts reporting, the front-running businessman won with 32.7 per cent, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich came running second with 30.4 per cent.
Rubio stood in third with 19.6 per cent, ahead of Cruz's 9.8 per cent.
And Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon, was in the basement at 4.1 per cent – the same fifth-place position he occupied in most of Tuesday's races.
Kasich's rise to the number two slot in Vermont was a rare bright spot for him.
Everywhere else, Rubio and Cruz seemed to be returning to a role they learned in South Carolina: jostling for second place behind Trump.
And Trump ended the night finishing in first or second place everywhere his name was on the ballot.
Rubio's only hope was to notch a win is in Minnesota, a state his rivals have largely ignored. And he managed to do so. The young Floridian rushed there immediately after the February 20 South Carolina primary to shore up his one beachhead.
Instead of a secret-ballot election, Minnesota holds caucuses – neighborhood meetings where voters try to persuade each other to declare their support for one White House hopeful or another.
A win anywhere for Kasich or Carson would have been a long-shot miracle, despite Kasich's close call in Vermont.

Speed cited as factor in deputy's fatal crash
MOSES LAKE, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says speeding was a factor in a crash that killed a Grant County deputy sheriff in January.
KEPR News reports that the State Patrol estimates that 52-year-old Deputy John Bernard was driving between 77 and 79 mph on a road near Ephrata with a posted limit of 55 mph. The road was wet as well.
Bernard's vehicle skidded off a curve and went airborne for than 20 feet, and then rolled. The deputy was not responding to call at the time when he crashed. Bernard was wearing his seatbelt.
Gov. Chris Gregoire and law enforcement officers honored Bernard in a large memorial following his death. He had been with the Grant County Sheriff's office for four years.

Japanese star Kitasan Black aimed at Leopardstown
Japanese Grade One winner Kitasan Black is among the entries for the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at the Leopardstown on 9 September.
Kitasan Black gained automatic entry into the race by winning the Osaka Hai at the beginning of April and has subsequently won the Tenno Sho for a second successive year.
His trainer, Hisashi Shimizu, said: "Kitasan Black returned to my barn at Ritto last week. I have entered him in the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes as this race is still an option as his first start in Europe."
There are 67 entries for the race, headed by last year's first and second Almanzor and Minding.
Aidan O'Brien's dual Guineas winners Churchill and Winter have the option at this stage as does Derby runner Cliffs Of Moher.
So Mi Dar, Zhukova, Zawraq, Recoletos, Brametot and Cracksman are also engaged.
A day later is the Comer Group International Irish St Leger at the Curragh in which Wicklow Brave and Order Of St George, first and second last year, are two of 64 entries.
Big Orange, Dal Harraild, Harbour Law and Simple Verse are among the high-class contenders.

(Editor's Note: A few media outlets are discrediting this story. According to USA Today, Lovelock Correctional Center Public Information Officer Steve Suwe said it's "totally bogus." However, as of 8:30 p.m. PST Wednesday, the National Enquirer is sticking by its report.)
O.J. Simpson was beaten up in jail by a skinhead?
The National Enquirer is reporting that O.J. Simpson recently was beaten by a skinhead while in jail.
O.J. Simpson, 63, was allegedly beaten so bad that he had to spend three weeks in the infirmary recovering. He now fears for his life and doesn't want to leave his cell.
According to the publication, O.J. Simpson was beaten into unconsciousness in the prison yard by a young skinhead. O.J.'s former business partner Bruce Fromong says O.J. had a target on his back after talking about his white girlfriends. "Unfortunately for O.J., a group of young skinhead punks were within earshot – and they were enraged," he said.
Popular VideoThis young teenage singer was shocked when Keith Urban invited her on stage at his concert. A few moments later, he made her wildest dreams come true.
I'm sure Fred Goldman isn't too upset by this story – or Nicole Brown Simpson's sisters. Karma is a bitch, and O.J. Simpson's life of golfing, clubbing and screwing people out of money are over. I am actually surprised it took anyone this long to attack him. I remember thinking after the murder trial that someone was going to off him in a short amount of time. But oddly enough it never happened.
O.J. Simpson is currently serving a minimum nine year sentence for armed robbery.

In Honor of Black History Month
My aunt lived in one of the most impoverished areas of the south. She recently died of cervical and breast cancer at age 46. We found out that she was part of a cancer experiment that administered 15 rounds of chemotherapy in one week as part of the treatment protocol. At the time of her death, she was still receiving chemotherapy IV infusions of Eloxatin. My family will have difficulty litigating because she signed a release. It is my sincere belief that she participated because she had no money to afford treatment, she was misinformed about the implications of the treatment and pride kept her from asking for help from the family. I dedicate this post to her, her surviving children and her grandchildren who are now orphans because of someone's lack of morals and ethics.
Many people refer to Dr. Marion Sims as the father of modern gynecology. He invented a tool called the speculum that is used to visualize the female reproductive anatomy. He also invented countless gynecological tools and and pioneered gynecological surgeries. Sounds great, right? Think again. This person was a physician back in the mid-1800's when medicine wasn't exactly a science. There was no evidence based practice and most of what was known about medicine was discovered by accident. As I am sure one could imagine, people weren't exactly lining up for treatment so what group of disadvantaged people were used for medical experiments that helped physicians like Dr. Sims develop instruments such as forceps and the speculum? If you guessed African slaves brought to America against their own will and immigrants, you are absolutely correct.
The slavemasters lost money if their slaves were incapable of working due to illness, so Dr. Sims was commissioned to remedy the ailments of slave women after childbirth. It is estimated that he performed hundreds of surgeries on slave women. Most of them are nameless, but there are three slaves in particular that Sims practiced on frequently. They were named Lucy, Betsy and Anarcha. Most of these surgeries were without anesthesia because it was believed that African Americans had higher pain thresholds than whites. Antibiotics weren't used, so after these surgeries, the patients developed overwhelming infections. It was through the sacrifice of Lucy, Betsy, Anarcha and many other slaves that helped physicians develop what we know today as modern medicine. ( I am almost positive experimenting on slaves must have been a popular practice among many physicians of the time.)
So ladies, the next time you are on the table in that uncomfortable position, think of how it must have felt for Anarcha, Lucy and Betsy and say a little prayer for them. Their unrecognized contribution to gynecology has made it possible for us to take better care of ourselves. I love you Auntie Rose, rest in peace.

I am thinking a lot about how information was gathered about all the late and intense stages of syphilis - primarily the Tuskegee Experiment...and it makes me mad that my teachers don't at least MENTION those abused men when they lecture on the subject.
also look at the body language in the photo you posted! Brillant use of that picture...it seems so obvious that the men feel superior and are up to no good, just looking at her like she is fresh meat! And the woman peaking around the curtain! Amazing photo!

Thank you for commenting! I found in class that when we talk about culturally sensitive topics, there is a reluctance to acknowledge the details such as how the men of the Tuskegee experiment were misled or how Eunice Evers was exploited for her blackness, and her ability to serve as a nurse while providing culturally competent care. For this reason, it is very important to have more African American nurses in leadership...such as instructors and as principal investigators for studies. When we occupy these positions, we shed light on the injustices.
Best wishes in your endeavors,
just found your post on google while trying to digest a movie about Tuskegee that is required for my nursing research class (I'm in a MSN program in Virginia). Thanks for sharing Amanda's story. Its been a pretty sleepless weekend over here.

I recently had the opportunity to be the Coaching for Literacy (CFL) honorary guest with the University of Kansas men's basketball team. My great friend, Dave Enenbach, joined me for the game day experience, as our Kansas Jayhawk basketball team took on Baylor in a very meaningful Big 12 conference matchup. It was fantastic!
Upon our arrival, a team manager greeted us and after we changed into our Kansas Jayhawk CFL knit-polos he gave us a tour of the facilities. We were able to see the team's practice gym, the coaches' office area, the players' locker room, equipment area, film room, and lounges. All of this was impressive enough, but I want to highlight the fact that each player's locker does not just have his name over the locker, but instead there is a digital display above each locker with a picture of the player and some individual statistics to make it look even more impressive. The hallway that the players use to get from the locker room to the court was also incredible. One wall displays the current NBA jerseys of former players. Interestingly, if a player gets traded the old jersey comes down and the new one goes up. The opposite wall showcases all of the Sports Illustrated editions with Kansas basketball covers, a lot of those grace the walls! Included among the collections were the placards of All-Americans, Academic All-Americans, championships, and a huge tribute to Wilt Chamberlain. The hallway then funnels into a circular room, where the players gather just before taking the floor. In that room are the national championship trophies, with room for additional ones!
Our seats were immediately behind the bench and two rows up from the team. I mention that we were two rows up because it was the returning NBA player game, and the players who were able to make it were right in front of us. The basketball game itself was great! We could hear Coach Self discussing strategies during timeouts and making adjustments during live action. After the game we had our picture taken with Head Coach Bill Self and headed home, content with a win and thrilled with our unique experience.
My contribution to Coaching for Literacy is directed to the United Way of Douglas County, where Lawrence and the University of Kansas are located. Dave (class of '81) and I (class of '79) are both privileged to be alumni of the University of Kansas and are blessed to work each day in occupations that support our families. We understand the importance of having the tools it takes to turn reading into learning and learning into understanding. We both rely on our ability to read and understand almost every minute of the day. During our car ride from Kansas City to Lawrence we conversed about how incomprehensible the concept of not being able to read is for us and how much we take for granted the skill to read. I have friends who volunteer their time to fight illiteracy. They tell me about how the illiteracy issue is ageless, genderless, and race-neutral. I hope my contribution helps fight this problem of illiteracy in Douglas County, Kansas.
I want to mention what a pleasure it has been getting to know Ryan Viner of CFL. People like him make organizations like CFL happen. Great work! I would like to close by adding one thing that I know about illiteracy: there is a direct correlation between the ability to read and a critical element in each person's life: self-esteem. CFL is working to provide people with a proper sense of self-esteem by giving them the tools necessary to read and succeed. I would like to thank the University of Kansas, Coach Bill Self, his Administrative Assistant Joanie Stephens, and Coaching for Literacy for this wonderful opportunity.

Just got back from Dragon*Con and had a really good time! I'd like to sincerely thank all of the people that came by my table this year. Everyone was super cool and friendly! I'll be back for D*C 2012 for sure.
The shop will be a little sparse for a bit until i can unpack all my artwork and take inventory of what is left over. Check back later this week to see what gets restocked!
This month will be mostly mask production for me since preorders are open and going strong. I might also be producing masks for distribution by a large Halloween company this month so… busy busy! Look for new barrette colors/styles, decals and other Halloweenish goodies soon too!
So, welcome to all the new fans from Dragon*Con! Glad to have met you, hope to see you again soon I'm going to go sleep for 10 hours and try to recuperate from 5 days of non stop chatting, gawking and fun…
Tomorrow: pending orders will be going into the mail and i will get to answering emails :)

When it comes to fertility, most of the focus is usually shifted to the woman and issues that she may be having. However, research has shown that men actually take a large part in the fertility department.
In fact, nearly half of the time, the fertility issue is not with the women, it is with the men! For this reason there are drugs that a man can take to help with fertility issues. It is well known that women need a certain balance of hormones in order to maintain a healthy ovulation.
While this is true, men also need healthy hormones in order to produce sperm. What may be surprising is that these hormones are the same in men and women. Meaning that many of the same drugs that women take for conception problems can be taken by men as well!
However, while the success rate for women is rather high, men who use these drugs see success rates of a third of what women see. Plus they have not been approved by the FDA for use in men.
You will still be able to have a specialist prescribe them, but, since there have been very few studies done on them, they are still under investigation by the FDA. Another issue that is found with these drugs is the fact that only certain hormonal imbalances will be improved.
So, which drugs are we talking about? Two of the most popular are Clomiphene (brand name Clomid) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) which is used with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). These drugs are used to treat symptoms that prevent a man's testicles from signals to make sperm.
While these two drugs offer the same results, the way that they achieve them is a bit different. While Clomid works with the brain to encourage the body to make sperm, HCG, which is an injection, helps the testes to create sperm directly. Clomid is an oral pill, but HCG is injected twice a week and sometimes up to three times per week.
If your doctor is considering prescribing you these medicines, you should talk over your options with him before beginning this treatment. Typically, these are prescribed by physicians to men who have shown to have low sperm counts or have poor sperm quality and motility. However, for men who have other sperm issues, you should talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment because these drugs are not available for other issues.
Usually a man will go through fertility treatments up to six months. While women only take a handful of Clomid pills each month, a man will take one daily. Some doctors will switch an hCG treatment plan to one of hMG if a man's body is not responding well.
Since taking fertility treatments for longer periods of time does not increase your chances of success, rather than going for a longer treatment schedule, your doctor may increase the dosage after your three months if your partner is still not pregnant. It is also highly likely that he will suggest a different treatment plan at this time as well.
However, Clomid is safe to take for men with normal hormone levels for up to a year. One of the best things about taking fertility drugs as a man is that if they are successful, you can avoid a testicle biopsy in order to determine what your issue might be. However, the success rate is rather low and many men have had to resort to this method anyway.
If you are looking to avoid fertility drugs, there are many natural vitamins and nutrients that have been shown to improve the quality of sperm in men, increase the number of sperm that are found and improve the motility of the sperm. You should talk these options over with your doctor so that you can understand the best combination of these natural elements.
Male infertility is something that is often overlooked as couples are trying to get pregnant. There have been many studies on ways to improve fertility in women, but very few have been conducted on their partners. If you are struggling with fertility, it is a good idea to talk male fertility issues over with your doctor so that you can be certain that the problem is not with the male portion of your couple.

Re: [civilwarwest] Was Pemberton Wrong, Bad, Incompetent (Vicksburg Campaign)
Expand Messages
- Grant, up until that second charge, had mounted campaign Napoleonic in strategy and operational execution, if not in scope.
Like Napoleon on the Iberian peninsula, he launched s massive calvary diversion, bypassed the enemy and turned him back on his himself, forcing him back into a defensive posture.
The raid, through Mississippi into Louisiana, kept the Confederate forces off balance.
Landing at Bruinsburg crossing, Grant, in a move that was becoming a Hallmark of his campaigns, then cut himself off from his supply sources and, marching rapidly to contact with concentrated forces, defeated the enemy piecemeal, he moved to the capitol, destroyed it supplies and its distribution center.
Having disrupted the enemies war making capacity, he then, again through rapid movement, defeated Confederate parts in sequence and, having turned the enemy (on a strategic level), invested Vicksburg and linked up with his supply base.
Johnston and Pemberton just could not match Grant's or the Federal skill set.

I am of the opinion that Pemberton acquitted himself well enough during the campaign. He just ran up against Grant. I'm just wondering what you folks think.
1. Was Grant that good; or
2. Was Pemberton that bad; or
3. Is it some where in between?
I really can't wait to read opinions and to engage in discussion. Thanks.

Receiving absolutely no direction from Halleck, Grant outlined a plan: consolidate his force against Holly Springs, drive Pemberton south rebuilding the railroad as he went, take Vicksburg from the interior. Still, Halleck remained mute about Grant's objectives, despite the fact that Halleck was aware that McClernand had bent Lincoln's ear towards a riverine campaign.He did receive direction from Halleck; Halleck did not remain Mute.

Original Description:EditThe Nightmare fighter is more commonly referred to as a 'swarmer'. Small, weak, but well armed and agile, these fighters can overwhelm foes in seconds when used in swarms of 6 or 12. One on one, these fighters are inferior to GTVA fighters, but the Nightmares appear to create and deploy them at a massive rate and seem little bothered by massive casualties incurred. The GTVI has theorized that these fighters may be advanced drones, but this cannot be confirmed until one is captured.
Type: Fighter
Max Velocity: 95-120 m/s
Max Afterburner Velocity: 140 m/s
Armor: Light
Length: 19 m
Hardpoints: 5(5xNightmare Fighter Laser)
Missile Banks: 1 (100xNightmare Missile Swarm)

Learn What the Angularity Symbol Means in GD&T Plus New Calculator
I just uploaded another installment to our Free GD&T Tutorial.
Angularity callout on a drawing…
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances is a methodical and scientific way to specify tolerances on your drawings. It tells in a concise symbolic way how much your parts can deviate from the geometric ideal. If you do much CNC work, you're bound to come across a drawing with GD&T symbols on it sooner or later. The good news is they're not hard to understand and we've put together a quick mini-course to help you get up to speed.
One of the things I find about GD&T, is that if you're a visual/spacial thinker, it makes more sense because the symbols have what's called a "Tolerance Zone" that is an easy visual image to conjure up. I find that very comforting.
The latest chapter in our course is on the Angularity Symbol, which is used to describe how surfaces and axes are oriented when angles come into play
Go ahead and try the free course. It's short and you'll learn a lot quickly. I recommend just going through it a chapter a day or so. There's also a quick reference guide to the symbols that'll give you a quick idea of what's going on and what's possible.
Check Out the New GD&T Reference in G-Wizard Calculator!
The latest versions feature a neat quick reference guide to GD&T symbols that is built right into our G-Wizard Calculator:
GD&T Quick Reference app in G-Wizard…
The GD&T Quick Reference tells you what the symbols mean and link you through to the appropriate page in our mini-course if you want more depth. There's even a True Position Calculator:
That darned software is chock full of useful reference information not to mention having the best Feeds and Speeds Calculator available, and the best part is a lot of what's there is FREE!
What? What do you mean Free? That makes no sense!!!
Here's the deal–it's only the Feeds and Speeds features of GW Calculator that we charge for. All the rest of it including the GD&T Reference and dozens of other handy calculators and references for CNC'ers are free. All you have to do is take the free trial and it's yours.
I can't see how you go wrong with that.
