33rd District residents should vote early tomorrow
FAIRFAX─ Virginia Department of Transportation crews are pre-treating roads aggressively throughout Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington counties today. Snow accumulations of up to nine inches are possible in western areas, according to forecasts.
Due to tomorrow's special state senate election, crews will pay particular attention to polling places in the 33rd District, which includes portions of eastern Loudoun and western Fairfax counties.
"We urge those in the 33rd District to vote early tomorrow," said VDOT Northern Virginia District Administrator Helen Cuervo, P.E. "While we have called in all of our available state and contractor forces for this storm, it is best to vote early and avoid deteriorating road conditions through the day."
By 4 a.m. tomorrow, more than 4,000 pieces of equipment will report to plow and treat roads in northern Virginia. Plows loaded with salt and sand will be staged to handle all problem areas, including subdivisions and polling locations. More than 700 trucks will be dedicated to Loudoun County alone.
Once it has snowed two inches, residents can enter their address at www.vdotplows.org to see the status of plowing in their neighborhood.
As temperatures are expected to remain below freezing for the next several days, drivers are encouraged to be on the lookout for refreeze and slick spots, even on roads that have already been treated.
Crews pre-treat state roads in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. On interstates 66, 95, 395, and 495—including bridges and ramps prone to freezing such as the Springfield interchange, I-66 at Route 29 and the Capital Beltway interchange at Route 1—crews use liquid magnesium chloride. Problem spots on other major roads, such as the Fairfax County Parkway and routes 1, 7, 28, 29, 50 and 123, are pre-treated with salt brine.
Driving tips
VDOT reminds drivers to telework or delay travel during winter weather, and:
• Check current weather, road conditions and traffic before leaving
• Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination
• Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges

Real estate property insurance rates, particularly for large organizations with catastrophe exposures, were up last year, according to insurance broker Marsh, which advises these clients to distinguish themselves from their peers and keep an eye on risk trends in the field to get the best insurance deals when renewing policies in 2012.
Rates were also generally up for casualty insurance, including workers' compensation, and slightly down for management liability and environmental insurance.
In its recent report, Navigating the Risk and Insurance Landscape: U.S. Insurance Market Report 201, Marsh said its U.S. real estate clients renewing their insurance programs in the fourth quarter of 2011 saw the following conditions:
- property insurance rates were up by as much as 15 percent for large, catastrophe-exposed organizations; generally up 5 percent to 10 percent for midsize, catastrophe-exposed organizations; and generally down 5 percent to up to 5 percent for organizations without catastrophe exposures
- general liability rates were generally flat to up 5 percent;
- management liability rates were generally flat to down 5 percent; and
- environmental insurance rates for pollution legal liability and contractors pollution liability were generally flat to down 10 percent.
"Following several years of soft insurance market conditions and poor investment results, coupled with record catastrophe losses in 2011, property and casualty insurers began to apply pressure on rates at the end of 2011," said Jeffrey Alpaugh, Marsh's Global Real Estate Practice Leader. "Premium rates for residential risks, especially those with heavy concentrations of frame construction, and those with significant catastrophe exposures likely will continue to increase in 2012."
Marsh said underwriters will be looking for ways to separate individual accounts from the pack.
"For all real estate firms in 2012, the ability to distinguish their risk profiles from their peers will generate the best results when renewing commercial insurance policies," Alpaugh said. "Providing complete, accurate, and quality data to underwriters is key."
In addition Marsh's report identified trends that real estate risk managers should monitor:
- Capital markets are challenging for real estate firms, as lenders and investors continue to scrutinize property type, location, and sponsorship. Continued uncertainty around the European sovereign debt crisis is adding to the pressure.
- High vacancy rates have taken their toll on real estate companies, but are easing to varying degrees around the country. The strongest improvements have been seen in apartments, office, and industrial properties. Retail vacancy rates have also improved to a lesser degree.
- Declining asset values have led property owners and management companies to reduce operating expenses, including the postponement of building. Asset values could rise if job creation continues in metropolitan areas and vacancy rates continue to improve.
- Insurers remain concerned about widespread environmental claims, including contaminated drywall and mold/indoor air quality claims in the commercial and habitational segments, and chlorinated solvent claims in the retail and industrial segments.

"a generation ahead of the highest end PC" now available.
Rein states: "No they're not." The Epic boss, who just bossed epically, conceded that they're "'architecturally' more advanced" but not where it counts: performance. PC still has bigger nuts... and bolts.
The system architectures in the two new consoles are significantly closer to the PC in design, which has developers tickled pink with delight.
Last week EA's Rajat Teneja said of the newly revealed consoles: "These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market and their unique design of the hardware, the underlying operating system and the live service layer create one of the most compelling platforms to reimagine game mechanics."
Mark Rein takes exception with these words, tweeting the following:
"RT @developonline: EA: Xbox One and PS4 a generation ahead of PC http://www.develop-online.net/news/44289/EA-Xbox-One-and-PS4-a-generation-ahead-of-PC … <-no they're not. I call bullshit on this one."
He added later: "The article said 'highest-end PCs currently available' which isn't even close to true, it's miles away from true. They are "architecturally" more advanced but performance levels aren't as good. Maybe that's what he meant?"
"It said "highest-end PCs currently available" - that leaves no room for interpretation - it is simply BS."
Both Xbox One and PS4 are packing 8GB of RAM which excites development studios, although the speed at which Xbox One's RAM will chug along is unknown - PS4 has GDDR5. The lesson here is don't call a sports car a jet fighter.

However, I'm not sure I want a situation where ATGATT becomes the default no-tolerance standard. Be careful what you wish for. "Sir, you're boots don't come all the way over your calves, so here's a ticket. BTW, you didn't zip your jacket and pants together so press hard, it's three copies. No neck brace? That's a year suspension. We're also impounding your bike, since I can't allow you to ride home without ATG. " Think that can't happen? How about insurance companies refusing to insure you or pay a claim unless you prove to them you have and wear, every conceivable piece of protective gear available. It's a handy way for the Safetycrats to legislate motorcycling out of existence.

I have followed the news on the new sheriff of Oglethorpe County. His comment: ''I'm not one of the good old boys'' is quite true. He has blown himself up to be ''Macho Sheriff.'' He doesn't care about the cost, only the best will do for him. He came in with a vendetta, not for justice, but to fulfill a lifelong dream to create his own little kingdom.
He wants new deputies. He wants new cars. He wants a new jail. He wants. He wants. He also wants the taxpayers of Oglethorpe County to foot the bill. Of course, he is going to rush on the backlog of warrants, and of course he is going to have to send prisoners to other counties. He needs a new jail, of course. Who would have guessed!
The citizens of Oglethorpe need to wake up. You are about to face the hard cold facts -- more taxes. You have an impostor in your midst: Sheriff Lowe, a.k.a. ''King Lowe.''

The Eli Young Band's "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" [VIDEO]
The Eli Young Band says their latest single, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" inspired a lot of the sounds on the rest of their latest album, Life At Best. They just premiered the video and think it captures their personalities and the message of hope and optimism really comes through.
But mostly they just really liked the pyrotechnics!

Coochy Coo the X-Men Remixes 12"a review by gareth metford of release format Coochy Coo the X-Men Remixes 12" by En-Core (CD Album)
textFor pop music, the gothic has proved both an enduring source of imagery and, more importantly, a repository of moods unattainable without reference to that sense, articulated so cogently by H.P. Lovecraft, that "human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos at large". In dance music, it was largely the advent of electronics which enabled producers to begin to access the gothic stance: from Jamie Principle's shell-shocked 'Baby Wants to Ride', which posits both love and God as fictive elements in "a fascist dream", to Dom & Roland's scouringly bleak future-world schematics, its materialist, anti-soul aesthetic has been a frequent visitor to clubland ever since. X-men's 2-step remixes of 'Coochy Coo', originally a rather mundane four-to-the-floor stomper which would not sound out of place on daytime Radio 1, reside squarely in this tradition. Both their 'Club Mix' and their 'Dancefloor Dub' revolve around a slithery, sub-centric bassline pinioned by an ominous arpeggiated synth refrain, seemingly lifted directly from one of John Carpenter's DIY horror soundtracks. However, it is the vocals which really trip one up: drenched in breathy atmospherics, they slip and slide, flicker and blur with an expressiveness one does not really expect from UK garage, sounding at times more akin to Swans' Jarboe or Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard than the usual mellifluous R&B divas. In speaking so powerfully of an individual human subject, they recall Marx's assertion that human emancipation begins with a rejection of religion's doctrine of ineffable spirit - with the understanding that, to quote Lovecraft again, "matter, it appears, really is exactly what 'spirit' was always supposed to be."

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! SHOW FLOOR UPDATE: I should've known something special was up when Chevrolet started to hand out ear plugs before the start of its press conference, but with just a new C7 Corvette sitting up on stage, I figured how loud could it be? Loud. Real loud. After driving out the new 2014 SS and Corvette Convertible, Chevy released the updated 2014 Camaro SS to the crowd. If that wasn't enough, moments later GM chief Mark Reuss unleashed the raucous 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 onto the stage. Called the "defining point of the gen five Camaro" by Reuss, the long-rumored Z/28 pack's the out-going Corvette Z06's LS7 V-8 under its hood, making 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Realizing that power isn't necessarily the Camaro's Achilles heel, the bowtie boys cut a ton of weight out of the car by removing the car's sound deadening, ditching the trunk carpet, using thinner rear glass, and making air conditioning option. Chevy also ripped out all of the car's speakers, save for one, which they had to keep in order for the seatbelt chime to be heard. The result is a truly killer looking car that I can't wait to see on the track during our Best Driver's Car competition. The other major change for the new Camaro is its facelift. The revised front end visually shrinks the car, to my eye, making it more attractive than before. The new grille also bears a passing resemblance to the new Impala's, visually linking the Camaro to the rest of the Chevy lineup. In back the new lines shrink the car's formerly big butt, and the new taillights link the 2014 Camaro to the 1967 original. The Camaro Z/28 will hit dealers in the spring of 2014. – Christian SeabaughOne of the trims glaringly absent from the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro lineup has been the famous Z/28. That absence ended decisively and forcefully at the 2013 New York Auto Show with the launch of the 2014 Camaro Z/28, which may be the greatest Z/28 ever. You may think we're just drinking Chevy's PR Kool Aid with the term "greatest" but once you see the extent of the engineering and content of the new Z/28, we think you'll be inclined to agree.While the street/track ZL1 utilizes a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 to provide its 580 hp and 556 lb-ft of torque, the Z/28 utilizes the outgoing Corvette Z06's 7.0-liter naturally aspirated LS7 V-8. Final power figures have not been announced, but Chevrolet promises at least 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The LS7 was selected over the supercharged LSA for its broad torque curve and high 7000-rpm redline, which makes it well-suited for high-speed track driving. Both the engine and Tremec TR606 six-speed manual transmission, the only available, have dedicated high-capacity cooling systems. Beyond the monster naturally-aspirated engine, the Z/28 features unique shocks, tires, brakes, suspension tuning, and a comprehensive and strategic lightening that ditches many of the niceties found on "consumer-grade" Camaros in pursuit of maximum performance. Even air conditioning, which most of us now take for granted as standard equipment even in the lowliest econoboxes, is offered only as a stand-alone option in concession to the Z/28's limited dual purpose as a street car. As Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser put it, this is "the fastest road-racing Camaro possible that's still street-legal."To keep the Z/28 stable on the track, it features a full aerodynamic package consisting of a front splitter, underbody panel, fender flares, extended rocker panels, and a rear spoiler and functional diffuser. The 20-inch wheels used on the SS and ZL1 were swapped for 19-inch wheels, which reduce total unsprung weight by a total of 42 lb and lower the car's center of gravity 33 millimeters. Rather than utilizing different-sized wheels and tires front to rear, all four corners of the Z/28 are shod with 305/30ZR-19 Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires — the ultra-high-performance tire's production debut — that are believed to be the widest front tires on any production car. Shocks feature spool-valve technology allowing for individual adjustment of bumper and rebound settings for both high and low-speed wheel motions. This allowed for an increase in the maximum damper stiffness while not adversely affecting on-road ride quality. Chevrolet claims the suspension tuning and tires facilitate a face-distorting maximum lateral acceleration of 1.05 g.Behind the purposeful rolling stock are massive 15.5-inch front Brembo carbon ceramic matrix brakes clamped by six-piston calipers in the front; 15.3-inch rotors with four-piston calipers sit in the back. In addition to the rotor material's superior heat and fade-resistance capacity, the composite rotors save a total of 28 lb per car. The lightening didn't stop with the suspension and brakes. The rear seat design and material was optimized and the trunk pass-through was eliminated in the quest to save nine pounds. Other non-essential kit such as fog lights, trunk carpeting, a tire inflator kit (except in states required by law), sound deadening and HID headlights were left in the spare parts pile. Even the rear window glass is 0.3 mm thinner. In all, the Z/28 is 100 lb lighter than a comparable SS coupe and 300 lb lighter than the ZL1 coupe.To keep the driver focused, yet comfortable, the front seats are aggressively-bolstered Recaro units with microfiber suede inserts for high-speed grip, with the obligatory seat cut-outs to facilitate the installation of five-point harnesses. The seats are strictly manually-adjustable.The Z/28 may not have the eye-popping horsepower figures of the Shelby GT500, or the gentleman's GT demeanor of capable ZL1, but we have to appreciate the Camaro team's dedication to doing this legendary designation proud. Drive-in poseurs need not apply.In addition to the Z/28, Chevrolet also showed the facelifted 2014 Camaro SS. Though it gets all of the same visual updates as the new Z/28, the 2014 SS (and the rest of the Camaro lineup) continues with the same powertrains that were offered in 2013. 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 BASE PRICE $60,000 (est) VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, RWD, 4-pass, 2-door coupe ENGINE 7.0L/500-hp (est)/470-lb-ft (est) OHV 16-valve V-8 TRANSMISSIONS 6-speed manual CURB WEIGHT 3800 lb (est) WHEELBASE 112.3 in LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT 192.3 x 76.9 x 52.4 in EPA CITY/HWY FUEL ECON Not yet rated ON SALE IN U.S. Spring 2014 Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 First Look /47 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 47 2 | 47 3 | 47 4 | 47 5 | 47 6 | 47 7 | 47 8 | 47 9 | 47 10 | 47 11 | 47 12 | 47 13 | 47 14 | 47 15 | 47 16 | 47 17 | 47 18 | 47 19 | 47 20 | 47 21 | 47 22 | 47 23 | 47 24 | 47 25 | 47 26 | 47 27 | 47 28 | 47 29 | 47 30 | 47 31 | 47 32 | 47 33 | 47 34 | 47 35 | 47 36 | 47 37 | 47 38 | 47 39 | 47 40 | 47 41 | 47 42 | 47 43 | 47 44 | 47 45 | 47 46 | 47 47 | 47

40pc of smaller merchants are using mobile credit card readers
In a sign that mobile payments are gaining significant traction with small and mid-sized merchants, 40 percent of these businesses report accepting payments at the point-of-sale via a mobile credit card reader attached to a smartphone or tablet, according to a new report from BIA/Kelsey.
Mobile is also playing a key role in the businesses' marketing efforts, with 32 percent of SMBs using some form of mobile advertising to promote their businesses, up from 28 percent last year. In particular, the findings reveal that professional as well as home and trade services are embracing mobile in a big way.
"Mobile payments platforms are gaining significant traction with SMBs, with 40 percent of those surveyed stating they now accept payments at the point-of-sale with a mobile credit card reader attached to a smartphone or tablet (e.g., PayPal Here, Square, etc.)," said Steve Marshall, director of research at BIA/Kelsey, Chantilly, VA. "Another 16 percent plan to add this capability within the next 12 months.
"Use of mobile for advertising by SMBs is up," he said. "About one-third of survey respondents (32 percent) report using some form of mobile for advertising, compared to 28 percent a year ago."
Social strategies
The report shows that SMBs are increasingly embracing mobile and social platforms for improving operational efficiencies and promoting their businesses.
Attachments for mobile devices that enable retailers to process credit card transactions, such as those offered by Square, PayPal Here and others, have been gaining traction quickly.
In addition to the 40 percent already using mobile for processing credit card payments, another 16 percent plan to add this capability within the next 12 months.
Other findings include that 72 percent of SMBs are using social media to promote their business, 52 percent have a Facebook page for their business and 25 percent have a Google+ Local page.
Gateway to loyalty
The adoption of mobile and social tools is transforming the way SMBs acquire and retain customers, with SMB marketing quickly becoming a two-way engagement rather than a one-way promotion.
For example, when asked how engaged their businesses are with customers on social media through activities such as responding to comments, blogging or tweeting and updating social media content, 66 percent said they are "extremely engaged" or "very engaged."
For SMBs, the findings underscore the need for these businesses to consider how mobile can support their loyalty efforts as well as their infrastructure.
"Recognize that mobile platforms now make your employees 'walking POS terminals,'" Mr. Marshall said. "Since the POS terminal has become a key gateway to loyalty and discount programs and CRM, with mobile, this gateway function is being transferred to individual employees, wherever they may be. Think about the implications of this.
"Start thinking of mobile as a key element of your operations and infrastructure – it's more than just a communications platform," he said.

CLEVELAND - Weekend storms damaged buildings and snapped trees in southern Manitowoc County.
Crews are working Sunday morning to clean up Cleveland Elementary School.
Workers at the building say high winds ripped off parts of the roof. The northern part is down to the steel deck.
Water leaked into the two classrooms under that part of the roof. The water left behind puddles and wrecked ceiling tiles.
It's not clear yet whether classes will be held on Monday.

This bolt-action repeater was full of "firsts" in military small arms
If you've enjoyed your Swiss M1911 and M1931 Schmidt-Rubin, wait until you handle a Swiss Vetterli in 10.4x38R, otherwise known as the .41 Swiss. Designed by Professor Friedrich Vetterli at the SIG factory in Neuhausen and adopted by the Swiss army in 1869, the Vetterli was the first self-cocking, small-bore, bolt-action repeating rifle ever adopted for general issue by any country. Beautifully machined and finished. The Vetterli incorporated, in concept, the side loading port, tubular magazine and cartridge lifter of the Winchester Model 1866: the turning bolt of the Dreyse needle gun with the locking lugs of the Greene/Chassepot. The Vetterli soldiered on until 1890 when it was officially replaced by the Model 1889 Schmidt-Rubin.
Imported into the United States by the thousands in the early 1900s and sold to the public by mass retailers like Sears-Roebuck and surplus dealers like Francis Bannerman; the Swiss Vetterli was popular enough as a sporting arm that UMC/Remington/Peters loaded the .41 Swiss rimfire cartridge right up until WWII.

Friend of Doug digs deep against SoccerCity
Mission Valley developers pour cash into San Diego State measure
Matt Potter 6 p.m., Nov. 21
Residents of Uptown oppose the Mid-City Rapid Bus project for many reasons, citing the negative impacts it will have on traffic, and the trash and vandalism the project will bring to the community. And now, some residents claim SANDAG is improperly using TransNet sales tax revenues to help pay for the $43 million project.
"All new projects, or major reconstruction projects, funded by revenues provided under this Ordinance shall accommodate travel by pedestrians and bicyclists, except where pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited by law from using a given facility," reads the ordinance.
But SANDAG spokesperson David Hicks says the Mid-City Rapid Bus project complies with the tax code because it "accommodates bicycles with bike racks on the front [of the bus]."
Hicks also says the proposal calls for lane-striping for bicycles, and pedestrian crossings at each intersection along Park Boulevard.
"At the two locations where we are installing median bus stations, the platforms will serve as pedestrian refuges to allow for a safe waiting place for pedestrians," writes Hicks in an email.
Adds Hicks: "The redesign of Polk Street which prohibits through traffic across Park Boulevard will shorten the pedestrian crossing distance, improving pedestrian safety at this location. Trees and shrubs will be provided at the two new stations, enhancing the pedestrian experience."
However Hillcrest resident Walter Chambers disagrees. Chambers feels the project puts pedestrians and cyclists in danger, not the other way around. " SANDAG's solution for "accommodation for bicycles" on the street, is to put a bike rack on the front of the bus?" writes Chambers. "I suppose in some political, legal world, that would suffice as "accommodations for bicycles". In the real world, it's known as BS."
"Can we not have a beautiful, pedestrian and bicycle friendly street with Rapid Transit that nurses economic vitality and attracts people? SANDAG and Councilmember Gloria seem to think not, or just don't care."

Trickle-down economics has not yet sunk to the places that the people in George Saunders' fiction must, for want of a better fortune, call home. The hilariously hapless heroes of the six stories in Pastoralia (Riverhead Books; 188 pages; $22.95) live as adults with their crotchety mothers or religiously obsessed sisters or a menagerie of squabbling relatives. The beleaguered breadwinner in Sea Oak works as a male stripper at Joysticks, a club with an aviation motif, and notes of his lodgings, "At Sea Oak there's no sea and no oak, just a hundred subsidized apartments and a rear view of FedEx."...

John Hayden, meet Brandon Saad.
Too soon?
I think it's a rule that we have to compare players, and I mean immediately. Failure to do so in my business could result in jail time, I believe. So, let's play the comp game in this giddy time for the Blackhawks.
I could've gone Andrew Shaw there, but the 5-foot-9, 179- pound pony keg that is Shaw always comes with a threat of tapping some stupid.
Hayden, meanwhile, comes from Yale, so there's no reason to fear weapons-grade idiocy. What's more, his 6-foot-3, 223-pound frame is not just closer to Saad's, but surpasses it.
Saad is a man-child along the boards and going to the net, and early indications are Hayden...

A last-second political compromise prevented the crisis from erupting into atomic Armageddon, but the experience fundamentally shifted the two nations' approach to nuclear weapons.
After the crisis, the USSR and United States opened a series of negotiations aimed at limiting the threat posed by nuclear war. The two nations, along with the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency, set about negotiating a way to limit the scope and dangers posed by the global atomic arms race.
The following is a list of the major agreements aimed at stabilizing, slowing and eventually reversing the nuclear arms race.
Partial Test Ban Treaty – 1963
Signed on Aug. 5, 1963 in Moscow, the treaty ended all nuclear weapons tests "or any other nuclear explosion" in the atmosphere, in outer space, or underwater in perpetuity. While not banning underground tests, the PTBT did prohibit underground nuclear explosions that cause radioactive debris to reach outside the territorial limits of the state where the explosions were conducted. France and China, both nuclear weapons countries, have never signed the treaty.
Non-Proliferation Treaty – 1968
Signed in the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom on July 1, 1968, the treaty sought to control the spread and use of nuclear technology for the manufacture of weapons. This pact pledged to restrict countries already in possession of nuclear weapons to refrain from giving control of those weapons to others and from transmitting information for their manufacture to states not possessing them. Countries without nuclear weapons that signed the pact agreed not to receive or manufacture them. The NPT also gave authority to the IAEA to police the nuclear activities of member countries to ensure nonproliferation. It has been approved by 187 countries, including all five major nuclear powers.
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks I (SALT I) – 1969-1972
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the United States and the Soviet Union sought to limit and restrain land- and submarine-based offensive nuclear weapons. The talks, riddled with diplomatic and political obstacles, dragged on from November 1969 to May 1972. Efforts to limit the strategic nuclear arms were difficult given that the United States possessed far more warheads than the Soviets. This made it difficult to equate the number, type or categories of weapons and to define overall strategic equivalence.
The Soviets, hoping to continue to build up its nuclear arms stockpile, sought to restrict negotiations to only banning anti-ballistic missile systems. The United States argued that to do so would be incompatible with the basic objectives of talks aimed at limiting strategic arms. Finally the deadlock was resolved when both sides agreed to concentrate on a permanent treaty to limit ABM systems, but at the same time to work out certain limits on offensive systems and establish a second round of SALT negotiations to reach a more comprehensive and long-term agreement.
The first round of SALT concluded with the signing of a five-year Interim Agreement to limit further construction of intercontinental missile sites and other nuclear systems and the signing of the Antiballistic Missile Treaty.
Antiballistic Missile Treaty – 1972
The ABM, signed in Moscow on May 26, 1972 was the first real nuclear-related agreement between the United States and the former Soviet Union. The treaty on the Limitation of Antiballistic Missile Systems restricted the development of a defensive missile system that would prevent the penetration of others' retaliatory missiles. The United States and the Soviet Union agreed that each would have only two deployment areas, one to protect the capital and another at a major missile base. The sites would be at least 807 miles apart and the ABM deployment systems would be limited to no more than 100 interceptor missiles and 100 launchers at each site. The treaty has subsequently undergone extensive modifications.
In December 2001 the United States pulled out of the 1972 ABM Treaty following months of talks to persuade Russia to set aside the treaty and negotiate a new strategic agreement.
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks II (SALT II) – 1972-1979
The second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, which opened in November 1972, aimed to replace the five-year Interim Agreement with a more comprehensive long-term treaty to limit the number and types of nuclear missiles.
The two sides remained far apart in the negotiations until a summit between American President Gerald Ford and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev in 1974 in Vladivostok during which the parties reached a basic framework for an agreement. But, despite the framework, negotiations bogged down over the limitations on American cruise missiles and the Soviet "Backfire"-class bombers.
The American government reinvigorated the stalled talks after Jimmy Carter became president in 1977. At that time, the United States put forward two proposals, one a much more sweeping set of weapons limitations and the other an agreement similar to the Vladivostok accord, with the cruise missiles and Backfire issues deferred until later negotiations. The Soviet Union rejected both the proposals.
After further negotiations both sides agreed to a framework that accommodated the Soviets' desire to retain the Vladivostok framework, and the U.S. desire for more comprehensive limitations on SALT II. A final agreement was signed on June 18, 1979 but expired in 1985 without either side formally implementing the pact.
Threshold Test Ban Treaty – 1974
Despite the prolonged and ultimately unsuccessful SALT II work, Brezhnev and President Ford did reach an agreement during the 1974 summit to scale back the giant, thermonuclear tests taking place. The treaty prohibited underground nuclear weapons testing exceeding 150 kilotons, far smaller than many of the tests taking place in the 1960s and early '70s. In addition, the treaty required both nations to share much of the data learned from future tests.
By the time the United States submitted the treaty to the Senate for approval, the Soviets and American negotiators had also reached an agreement on further limits to underground nuclear testing.
Although formal negotiations would drag on for years and the final treaties did not enter into force until 1990, both nations informally agreed to observe the treaty limitations starting in 1976.
Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty – 1987
The Soviets and Americans crossed a major threshold when President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty on December 8, 1987. The pact marked the first time the two major powers had agreed to reduce the number of nuclear missiles in its arsenal, rather than set a ceiling the two sides would not exceed in the future. The treaty focused on the ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of about 300 to 3,400 miles based mostly in Europe.
The Soviets, who had recently upgraded their shorter ranger missiles when talks opened in 1981, initially opposed full-scale elimination of the missiles, instead proposing a cap of 300 such missiles. NATO and the Americans wanted to fully dismantle the missiles and these talks ended in a Soviet walk-out in late 1983.
Talks resumed in 1985 and then at a 1986 summit between Gorbachev and President Reagan in Reykjavik, Iceland, the two sides reached a tentative deal. Within months the final details were hammered out and the final accord signed. Both nations fully ratified the treaty in May 1988.
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I) – July 31, 1991
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, signed by President George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on July 31, 1991, was the most sweeping arms reduction treaty ever entered into by the two great nuclear superpowers. The result of nearly a decade of difficult negotiation, the treaty required the United States and Soviet Union to reduce their strategic nuclear forces.
With the reductions, each nation would still control:
1,600 Strategic Nuclear Delivery Vehicles — that is the sum of all inter-continental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched missiles and deployed heavy bombers
6,000 nuclear warheads of which no more than 4,900 could be on ballistic missiles.
No more than 1,100 nuclear missiles deployed on mobile launchers
The agreement also limited the development of new and more deadly missile systems and established a wide-ranging inspection regime to ensure the treaty was adhered to by both sides.
When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, the START limits appeared to be in danger, but negotiators from the United States and the four nations that inherited the Soviet's nuclear force — Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus — negotiated an additional protocol where Russia would take control of the nuclear arms and abide by the START pact and the other three nations would declare themselves non-nuclear states and agree to the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
On Dec. 5, 2001 the United States and the Russian Federation successfully reached START levels of 6,000 warheads completing the largest arms control reductions in history.
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START II) – 1993
Built on the foundations of the START agreement, the Russian and American governments negotiated a second treaty to further reduce nuclear stockpiles by roughly two-thirds compared to pre-START levels. President George H.W. Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, or START II, on Jan. 3, 1993.
The pact, approved by the U.S. Senate in 1996 and the Russian Duma in 2000, set in place a two-phased reduction in nuclear weapons systems. The main thrust of this effort was to eliminate the larger Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) and the rockets that carried multiple warheads, technically known as Multiple-Reentry Vehicles (MRVs).
In Phase One — set to be complete by 2001 — each side must have reduced its total deployed strategic nuclear warheads to 3,800-4,250. Of those warheads, no more than 1,200 may be on deployed MRVs, no more than 2,160 may be on deployed submarines, and no more than 650 may be on deployed heavy ICBMs.
In Phase Two — set to be complete by 2007 — each side must have reduced its total deployed strategic nuclear warheads to 3,000-3,500. Of those, none may be on land-based MRVs. No more than 1,700-1,750 deployed warheads may be on submarines.
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty – 1996
It took the end of the Cold War to usher in serious negotiations about a global ban on nuclear testing. Negotiations began in 1991 when the nations that had signed on to the Partial Test Ban Treaty hosted talks aimed at creating a more complete ban. The treaty that emerged from years of negotiation received the overwhelming support of the United Nations General Assembly in 1996 and was then signed by 71 nations, including France, the United Kingdom, China, the United States and the Russian Federation.
Quite simply, the treaty prohibits states from detonating any nuclear explosion, whether for weapons testing or for peaceful research purposes. It also establishes an organization to oversee the ban and verify nations are complying with the treaty obligations.
The treaty cannot come into force unless 44 countries with nuclear capabilities sign it. To date, 41 have signed and 33 have ratified the treaty. Non-signatories include India, Pakistan and North Korea. In addition, 13 nations have signed the accord but not officially ratified it, including the United States and China. The U.S. Senate took up the treaty in 1999, but voted 51-48 to reject it, although it left open the possibility of taking the pact back up at a later date.
Despite the delay in the treaty entering into force, the Preparatory Commission for the CTBT Organization has already been formed to begin readying the implementation of the treaty once the 44th state has signed.
Treaty of Moscow – 2002
Signed by the United States and Russia on May 26, 2002, the treaty called for both sides to reduce their nuclear warheads from 6,000 to 2,200 by the year 2012. Once ratified, the new treaty will replace the START II treaty. Despite this agreement, both Russia and America have said they will continue to invest in modernizing the remaining forces. Additionally, both nations have said the additional warheads will be placed in storage rather than dismantled.
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty extension – 2010
President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed an extension of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which had expired in December, on April 8, 2010. The "New START", as it has been dubbed, cuts the nuclear weapons the U.S. and Russia will deploy by about a third. It also says within seven years of ratification, both countries will have to lower their deployed strategic warheads to 1,550. It caps ballistic missile launchers and bombers at 800, and says of those only 700 could be deployed. The two countries would be responsible for verifying each other's reductions. The Senate must still approve the deal.

Telangana MSOs continue to boycott two news channels
MUMBAI: The Telangana Multiple System Operators (MSOs) on 11 August 2014 decided to continue blockade of TV9 and ABN Andhra Jyothi news channels, a mediahouse reported.
Federation of Telangana MSOs' president M Subhash Reddy, charged the channels of telecasting objectionable content that hurt the sentiments of Telangana people and said, "Even the Telangana state assembly took cognisance of the objectionable content."
The Federation maintained that they had presented their case to the High Court and responded to a notice served by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). "The TRAI sought explanation on why we had stopped the two channels without the mandatory 15-day notice and we explained the reasons. There was pressure on us from the Telangana people and we had to act," the president of the federation said.
At a meeting attended by district representatives, the Federation of Telangana MSOs said they are planning to send a delegation to the I&B minister to explain to him the events that led to the cable operators blocking these two news channels.
Reddy also added that since the channels are not doing anything to find a resolution to the problem, the MSOs will stick to their decision of blocking the channels.

Entire Life
My first experience was at 8 years old it was a Daisy lever action BB gun I got for my birthday. Then at 10 I received a Marlin model 60 .22 and at 12 my dad gave me his Remington 700 .243 which was his first deer rifle still in 1971. Still looks brand new. My family has always deer hunted so I have been exposed to guns my entire life but it wasn't until my grandfather passed away that I really appreciated what I had growing up. I can remember every time my grandfather would buy a gun he would call me to his house to look at it and shoot it. I can proudly say I now own about half of his gun collection he had a the time he passed which I hope to pass down to my 4 year old when SHE gets older. She is already asking for her own gun like daddies. Yeah this thread is a little sentimental.

Warning, not for the squimish. Think these are legit?
Return to The Taxidermy Industry Category Menu
Considering how much a care weighs and what kind of weapon it can be at driving speeds. Ever see what a semi does to deer? Other the other hand someone may be altering the crash scene. Hard to tell.
and have seen alot worse, they're real.
If the car was traviling on the interstate and hit a deer at say 65 mph , that is the results of impact . Bradlee
If you think that is bad you should see what a horse / semi crash looks like on the e-way! The vehicle had to be going 70+ to get that deer so mashed up that much, it could happen and does. Been there seen it.
They are not retouched. That car was doing a lot more than 65 when it hit the deer....I am disappointed, wanted to see a pic of the driver....LOL
thats nothing im a deputy sheriff and have seen lots worse than that we have a average of four deer hit a night a year I live in iowa
Been there, done that. This one's pretty clean compared to that one. My dad had a book from the 7th Air Force in World War II that showed a Japanese pilot who bailed out right in front of a P-51. The pilot was part of an attack force on an American base and the P-51 "glided" back for a crash landing on his home strip with innards wrapped around the propeller hub while his head was stuck in the supercharger intake. See why this one looks rather sterile?
Checkout a video of a motorcycle with a "on board" camera hitting a deer(doe). Not near as bad as this but still wild looking.
Take care all,Teddy
i guess the deer would be considered totaled
The blood pattern looks wrong and the blood does not look like blood...Way too uniform in color.
2ndly.. where was the driver? The drivers seat appears to have been covered in blood? Why is there blood on the back of the head rests in the rear of the vehichle? At the rate of speed needed to get blood to the back of the vehichle.. how did it reverse direction and end up on the instrument panel?
I see part A of deer, and part B of a deer?
What part of it is inside the vehichle?
I don't doubt this vehichle hit a deer, but I think it has been played with...
The deer's last words were, "If I had enough guts, I'd do it again".
I blew those shots up to 1600%...no retouching there....if it was faked, someone screwed up a nice machine for a couple of photos.
I saw a lady back into an airplane propeller once - disaster.
anyone need one road kill headskin (-:
How come I cant click on the sites and get them to come up ?
Come on....
it looks to me like the deer was cut in half by the roof of the vehicle. maybe part of the deer was inside at one point and they just drug it out.
that is the nastiest i have ever seen personally.
but i did see one a few years back where a driver hit a small buck. i stopped to help them and they were fine. so i went to examine the deer and found it to actually have one of its hind legs skewered through its own neck about 1/4 of the way up from the shoulder. what was weird
...for the airbags to deploy...
A couple of good points brought up.... The drivers seat is covered in blood. If the driver was sitting in the seat the blood would be on him and not the seat. There doesnt appear to be any smear marks of blood where the driver would have smeared when he got out of the vehicle. Also if the deer was hit going fast shouldn't the airbags have deployed?

As our dairy sector integrates itself increasingly with the global one, the volatility in international markets is likely to be transmitted to a large extent to our domestic market, the chairperson said.
She added, "I fear that all too often when we think of our position in the global market and the steady growth in our milk production, we see ourselves as growing exporters of dairy commodities, and believe this could also improve returns to our milk producers. While this may be so, we need to appreciate that pursuing this path without ensuring that the domestic market is met would result in competition between the domestic and export markets and an increase in prices for domestic consumers."
She claimed the rise in feed costs from an increase of nine per cent in 2011-12 to 27 per cent in 2012-13 is also leading to higher production costs and therefore higher milk prices. At some stage, the rise in price of milk could erode the ability of many families to purchase milk.
About seven per cent of total world milk production is traded. Developed countries account for about three-fourths of exports and developing countries account for about three-fourths of the imports.
Currently, the organised sector handles only about 30 per cent of the marketable surplus. Patel feels in the interest of both producers and consumers, it is necessary to increase the share of the organised sector comprising cooperatives, producer companies and private companies. The National Dairy Plan has set this target over the next 15 years at 65 per cent.

TV critics love deeply flawed guys on cable dramas. On broadcast, maybe not so much? Christian Slater and Steve Zahn play brothers — a con man just out of prison, and a brilliant bipolar expert in the field of human behavior, respectively — who form a problem-solving firm that uses psychological manipulation.
One TV critic at the Mind Games Q&A, told the ABC show's creator she was totally into the pilot until the final twist when she "lost any empathy" and wondered if it would be addressed in the second episode. The creator, Kyle Killen, explained that "what cable's done to television" is "expanded the palate" and lead characters were no longer expected to be fixed quickly.
Another critic noted it's Killen's third recent stab at characters leading a dual life — the other two being NBC's short-lived Awake, about a cop leading two parallel lives after a car accident, and Fox's short-lived Lone Star, about a con artist living two lives in Texas. "Nope, just beating the same dead horse," Killen responded, suggesting he's maybe not destined to strike up with this particular TV critic one of those effervescent friendships that TV critics and show writers sometimes strike up. Taking the high road, he explained the brothers of Mind Games aspire to help people, which maybe makes it the easiest of his recent TV projects for a wide audience to embrace.
Another critic wondered if Killen had given any thought to switching the two actors' roles — because, the critic said, Slater is maybe better suited to play a bipolar guy, the illness often goes undiagnosed, tends to run in families, and expresses itself differently among siblings. Killen said he'd never given any thought to switching the two actors.
Zahn jumped in, in the nick of time, getting a laugh: "It's odd — I spent a decade playing a stoner and then one day all of a sudden I'm a genius. I really don't understand." Exec producer Timothy Busfield then chimed in: "From where I'm sitting, these are two of the best. Steve is working his ass off – and so is Christian."
Mind Games originally was scheduled to bow March 11 and will now launch at 10 PM Feb. 25, after ABC decided to wrap up the season early for critically panned and ratings-flatined Killer Women.

CANNES, France - Unless it is one of his "Ocean's Eleven" casino romps, Steven Soderbergh never makes things easy for an audience.
With his epic film biography of Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Soderbergh defiantly has made the story he wanted to see, one that will prove a very tough sell to some audiences.
The two-part saga runs four hours, 30 minutes. It is almost entirely in Spanish, a particular challenge for U.S. viewers who dislike subtitles. It dispenses with many cliches of the biopic, offering virtually no insight into the origin of Che's brand of humanism, instead presenting impressionistic glimpses of Che's idealism in action during the Cuban revolution and his attempt to foment a similar transformation in Bolivia.
Soderbergh was prepared for reporters' skepticism on all fronts at a Cannes news conference Thursday.
On shooting in Spanish:
"You can't make a film with any level of credibility in this case unless it's in Spanish," Soderbergh said. "I hope we're reaching a time where you go make a movie in another culture, that you shoot in the language of that culture. I'm hoping the days of that sort of specific brand of cultural imperialism have ended."
On the length:
"Just the further you get into it, it felt like if you're going to have context, then it's just going to have to be a certain size," Soderbergh said.
On the unconventional structure:
"I find it hilarious that most of the stuff being written about movies is how conventional they are, and then you have people ... upset that something's not conventional," Soderbergh said. "The bottom line is we're just trying to give you a sense of what it was like to hang out around this person. That's really it. And the scenes were chosen strictly on the basis of, Yeah, what does that tell us about his character?'"
Starring Benicio Del Toro, the Oscar-winning co-star of Soderbergh's "Traffic," as Guevara, the two films were shot as "The Argentine" and "Guerrilla."

Rate Marcus Williams
1. As good as Steve Nash.
2. As good as Jason Terry.
3. As good as Brevin Knight.
4. As good as Anthony Johnson.
Where does he fall?
Right now he's not as good as any of them, maybe Anthony Johnson. I think he has the potential to be around a Jason Terry type, with a little more playmaking ability and a little less scoring ability.
He is none of them he is MARCUS WILLIAMS. The dude is sick and plays his own type of game similar to no other NBA player. The kid is a gamer and the only thing that would possibly hold him back is if he gets content on just making it to the leauge. That is an issue for every single player in the draft, they have to stay hungry and work hard. It is the reason some players are busts and some are gems. How hard they work at the next level.
he reminds me of a shorter college version of jalen rose for some reason...
Because they are both lefties???? I'm not seeing any other resemblenses.
I think Marcus Williams is an absolute stud..reminds me a lot of the guy 2nd on all-time assists, Mark Jackson..He sees the court like no other in this draft and would be a great asset to any team..
I still think he, Foye and Rudy Gay are the 3 best NBA players in this draft..

Swizz Beatz's son Prince Nasir Dean was the best man at his dad's wedding to Alicia Keys in Corsica last weekend.
Swizz Beatz's son was the best man at his wedding to Alicia Keys.
The couple tied the knot on the French island of Corsica last weekend and his nine-year-old child Prince Nasir Dean was given the responsibility of handing over the rings to his dad and new stepmother.
An eye witness to the nuptials told Life & style magazine: "The whole ceremony was magical, like something out of a dream."
Swizz - who has two other children, son Kasseem Dean, Jr. and daughter Nicole, from previous relationships - and his pregnant bride Alicia's vows were witnessed by Queen Latifah, U2 frontman Bono, Tommy Hilfiger and Christian Louboutin, who designed the sandals worn by the 'Empire State of Mind' singer on her big day.
Since tying the knot Swizz, 31, has admitted he has never been happier since he made the 29-year-old musician his wife.
He said: "I love everything about her."
The ceremony was conducted by the couple's friend Deepak Chopra - who was close to Michael Jackson's before his death.
This is the first marriage for Alicia, while Swizz has been wed once before.
The couple's baby is due in November.
With a jazz musician for a father, Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones grew up in...

Sold and re-sold. If you wonder about some of those robo-phone calls, a likely source is the availability of lists of citizens and their numbers. There seemingly is no way to take yourself off these lists, even with the Do Not Call enrollment. Irritating, yes. The easiest treatment is just to hang up when you hear the recorded message begin.
Sign of the times. Several people have commented about footwear for current weather. "Do we go out in insulated boots or flip-flops?" This is Arkansas, and this is the end of January in an Arkansas winter. Sure, good readers, it could be better. But remember some times in the past. It could be a lot worse.
Severe symptom. Here's a local example of this health care situation. A senior citizen and adult daughter got flu shots. The daughter paid $28 on the spot, and the senior's inoculation was billed to Medicare. Several weeks later, the Medicare report was received. Flu shot? $55.
Rocky beginning. In a recent seventh grade girls basketball game, Wonderview led Guy-Perkins at halftime by 51-0. The final score was 72-10. Yes, the game was one-sided and discouraging to the young Guy girls, but they can build on the experience. And they probably will, knowing the rich Guy basketball tradition.
An Arkansas 'first.' The FBI raided John Rogers' photo business in North Little Rock, with details lacking at this point. The 10-year-old company has 170 million images, most from purchases of newspaper files, and Rogers sells reprints. He started as a sports-memorabilia collector and now has more photos than anyone else in the world.
Slight step forward. Congress appears moving ahead with the 2014 Farm Bill, a major bone of contention for reasons having little to do with agriculture. The House of Representatives version trims food stamps slightly but not the major slash that Republicans had sought. This is one more blot on the already besmirched image of Washington.
"(Obama's speech) was heavy on rhetoric, but light on specifics … I had hoped he would strike a more bipartisan tone because, if recent history shows anything, red versus blue is dead end politics."
— Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor
