Young is the stopgap backstop
Young is emergency catcher
But in a worst-case scenario, every club needs an emergency catcher and the leading candidate this year is Delwyn Young, because he's the only candidate.
He's the only position player who has volunteered to warm up pitchers between innings and has begun working with bullpen catchers Mike Borzello and Rob Flippo on basic techniques.
"I hope that emergency doesn't come," said Young. "I haven't caught since high school. But they've asked me to work on it and if it might happen, I want to learn something about it. I don't know how comfortable the pitchers would be throwing to me, but it's never bad to learn a new position."
That was Young's attitude three years ago when club officials suggested he start taking fly balls in the outfield. He wound up reaching the Major Leagues as an outfielder.
Manager Joe Torre said he's used an emergency catcher as recently as last year with the Yankees, when he had utilityman Josh Phelps behind the plate for one game.

Kazuo Taoka
|Kazuo Taoka
From left to right, Mitsuru Ono, Kazuo Taoka, Kōji Tsuruta. 1952.
|March 28, 1913
Higashimiyoshi, Tokushima, Japan
|July 23, 1981
(aged 68)
Amagasaki, Japan[1]
Kazuo Taoka (田岡 一雄 Taoka Kazuo, March 28, 1913 – July 23, 1981) was one of the most prominent yakuza godfathers.[2]
Known as the "Godfather of Godfathers", Taoka was third kumicho of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest yakuza organization, from 1946 to 1981.
Early life[edit]
Taoka, an orphan, grew up as a young street fighter in Kobe under the guidance of Noboru Yamaguchi, the Yamaguchi-gumi's boss. He earned his lifelong nickname "Kuma" ("the Bear") due to his signature attack of clawing at an opponent's eyes.
He was imprisoned for murder from 1937 to 1943, and assumed the role of kumicho three years later at the age of 33.
In 1972, Taoka forged an alliance between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai at a sakazuki ceremony at his home.
He had survived a 1978 assassination attempt when he was shot in the back of the neck by a member of the Matsuda-gumi (松田組), a rival gang to the Yamaguchi-gumi, during a limbo dance exhibition at a nightclub in Kyoto. His attacker was found dead several weeks later in some woods near Kobe.
He led the Yamaguchi-gumi until his death from a heart attack in 1981. His wife, Fumiko, briefly filled the gang's leadership role until a new kumicho, Masahisa Takenaka, was chosen in 1984.
Personal life[edit]
From 1983 until 1990, his daughter, Yuki, was married to Kitarō, a noted Japanese new-age musician.

wikiHow to Run From an Abusive Home As a Teenager
Three Methods:Running Away SafelyGetting Help Outside of Your HomeKnowing Your Legal RightsCommunity Q&A
Many teenagers experience physical, emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse. No one should have to live in an abusive home and running away often seems like the only option. There are many resources available to you to get you out of your home and into a safe environment. Consider your decision and reach out to other sources before you decide to run away from home.
Running Away Safely
1Talk to an adult you trust. If you are experiencing or witnessing any type of abuse in your home, let someone know. You do not have to suffer in silence. Let a neighbor, teacher, school counselor, or another adult family member know what is happening in your home. There are people who want to help you.[1]
- Your abuser may have threatened you or told you not to tell; do not listen to them.
- If the first person you tell does not believe you, find another adult and tell them.
- The adult you tell may call the police or call Child Protective Services.[2]
2Consider your decision. Running away from home is a big decision. You want to get out of an abusive situation, but you are not sure how you can make it on your own. Also, living on the streets can be very dangerous. Ask yourself some questions before you run away:[3]
- Do you have somewhere to stay?
- How will you continue to go to school and get an education?
- Who will you depend on if you leave home?
- What will you do about food, money, and transportation?
- Have you reached out to anyone about your situation at home?
- Is there anything you can do to make things better at home?
- Have you considered other options to make your home a safer place?
3Make a plan. If you decide that you want to run away, you need to make a plan to ensure that you stay safe and have the things that you need. You may have to stay at home a little longer until you get your affairs in order.[4] Make a list of the things you will need to survive. Your list may include:
- Food
- Shelter
- Transportation
- Clothing
- Money
4Save money. Having money will allow you to have food, transportation, and pay for shelter if you need to. Begin to save as much money as you can. If you have a job, begin saving the money you make in a safe place. If you do not have a job, find a way to make some extra money.
- Good ways to make quick money include doing odd jobs around your neighborhood, babysitting, taking care of other people's pets, running your own business (e.g. sell candy, give manicures, sell any extra items) and house-sitting for friends and neighbors. If you get lunch money everyday, try to eat light or skip lunch and save the money instead.
- If you are 18, you can open a bank account on your own to keep your money. If you are still a minor, you will not be able to open an account without your parent or legal guardian.[5]
5Find somewhere to stay. A safe place to stay is the number one thing you need. Find a supportive family member, friend, or youth shelter in your area. It is best to know where you are going before you leave the house. If you do not know of anywhere to stay, call some of the numbers below:[6]
- In the United States call Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453 or the National Runaway Safeline at 1-800-786-2929.
- In the UK call 0800 1111 (NSPCC Childline)
- In Australia call 1800 688 009 (CAPS)
- In New Zealand call 0800-543-754 (Kidsline)
- Child Helpline International also maintains a list of numbers if you live in any other country.[7]
- If you need to get out of the house immediately and do not know anywhere to go, go to a library, police station, fire station, or any public place that stays open 24/7.
6Pack your bag. Pack a bag with all of your essentials. Only take the things that you need because you do not want to have carry something that is too heavy. Take items such as clothes, medications, food, some form of ID, phone, and your social security card.
- If you take a mobile phone, be careful. Your parent will be able to track you through your phone. If you can afford to, get a cheap phone that your parents don't know about.
- Keep a list of contacts with you at all times such as police, emergency personnel, or anyone else who can help you in an emergency.
7Understand the risks. Staying in an abusive home is bad, but you may also face some serious problems after you run away from home if you are not prepared. It is important that you think about what your life will really be like after you run away and have a good plan in place so that you can stay safe. If you run away:[8]
- You are more likely to develop anxiety, depression, poor health, low self-esteem, poor nutrition, and have suicidal thoughts. Try to stay in touch with supportive friends, adults, or family members who can keep your spirits up.
- You will have more difficulty attending school and completing your education. You will need to have a proof of residence and your immunization records to stay in school.
- You may struggle to support yourself financially and get a job. Save some money or get a job so you do not have to do illegal or unsafe things (e.g. sell drugs or use your body).
- If you have a safe place to sleep, save money before you leave, and a way to stay in school, you should be able to avoid most of these.
Getting Help Outside of Your Home
1Report any abuse that you are receiving. If you do not have an adult to talk to and wish to report the abuse you are experiencing, you can call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453. Press 1 after you dial the number to connect to a counselor. The counselor can then make a three way call with your local Child Protective Services so that you can report the abuse.[9]
- This number is free to call and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- The counselor can explain to you what will happen after you file an abuse report.
- If you are not in the United States, contact your country's local police.
2Call the National Runaway Safeline. If you live in the United States and are thinking about running away or you have already run away, call 1-800-786-2929. This number will connect you to an experienced professional who can help you with whatever you need. You can speak anonymously or give some identifying information. If you provide any identifying information, the person will have to report your situation to law enforcement.[10]
- You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- When you call the hotline, it is up to you how much information you share.
- A counselor can also help you plan how you will run away and access some resources for teenagers in your situation.
3Find a Safe Place. In the United States, a National Safe Place is a school, fire station, library, or youth-friendly business that has agreed to offer help to teens who are in need. These locations will have a poster on the building to signify that they are part of the safety net for youth. You can call 1-888-290-7233.[11]
- You can also text "SAFE" and your address, city, and state to 69-866. You will then receive a text message with the nearest Safe Place and a phone number for a local youth shelter.
- If you want to get connected to a counselor, you can text "2CHAT" to get more help.
- This is a great option if you have already run away or need to get out of your home immediately.
Knowing Your Legal Rights
1Consider the potential legal consequences. In most states, running away from home is not considered a crime. If you run away repeatedly, you may become under the supervision of juvenile court or family court. The legal system can provide services to your family or can punish (e.g. fines, drug testing, curfews, suspended driving privileges) you and your family.[12] You also may have to go live with a family member or in a foster home.
- It is illegal to run away in Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming if you are under the age of 18. If you do run away in one of these states, then you may be detained by the police, taken to a homeless shelter, or the police officer may try to take you back home.[13] You may also be subject to penalties, such as suspension of your license, a curfew, or drug testing.[14]
2Stop if you encounter a police officer. If a police officer stops you, do not resist. If you resist, you could be charged with a crime or become injured. Tell the police that you have run away from home because of abuse. The police officer can report the abuse to child protective services, and they will conduct an investigation into your abuse allegations.[15]
- The police may also take you to a shelter, crisis center, or Juvenile Hall to keep you safe. Be sure to tell the police that you are afraid to go home.
- While some states do have criminal charges for children who run away from home, there are also services available to children who run away from home and for their families as well.[16] Talking to a police office may help you to access these services, which is preferable to a life on the streets.[17]
3Get a new legal guardian. Legal custody can be transferred from your parents to another adult over the age of 18. If you have a relative or an adult friend who is willing to become your legal guardian, this may be an option for you. Your parents do not have to agree with your decision. A judge can decide if this is the best option for you.[18]
- The National Runaway Safeline can refer you to legal services to help you complete your paperwork and get information. These process can be very overwhelming and difficult to complete on your own.
- You must file your guardianship paperwork at the courthouse and make an appointment to meet with he judge. Once you meet with the judge, the judge will decide if guardianship is best for you. Your parents will be notified that you have filed the papers.[19]
- A legal guardian will assume all the rights and responsibilities that your parents had.
- The process for filing papers varies by state.
4Emancipate yourself. Emancipation is a good option if you already have a job, a place to live, and are able to support yourself. Once you become legally emancipated, you are given all of the rights and responsibilities of someone who is 18 years of age or older.[20]
- You will have to file papers and go before a judge to plead your case. You must show the judge that you can take care of yourself and have good reason to seek emancipation.
- Emancipation is permanent and there is no going back. Be sure this is what you want to do.
- In most states, the minimum age for legal emancipation is 16, but in California children as young as 14 may be emancipated.[21]
Community Q&A
How do I cope with depression and cutting?wikiHow ContributorYou need to seek professional help if you are harming yourself and are suffering from depression. You can call the S.A.F.E. Alternatives information line at 1-800-366-8288 to get a referral and get some help. If you are feeling suicidal call National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255.

Kristen Stewart's safety worries
Kristen Stewart has reportedly revealed that she fears for her life now she is famous.
The Twilight star - who has been in the headlines in recent months after admitting she cheated on her boyfriend Robert Pattinson with married director Rupert Sanders - apparently said the rise of social media means it's easier for people to find out where celebs are.
Kristen, who is rumoured to have received hate messages since her affair scandal, said: "'Nowadays it's harder because everyone is on Facebook and everyone knows where you are all the time, and everyone's twittering.
"Like I'm going to die because somebody is going to say where I am and somebody is going to kill me. Someone's going to twitter my location and then it's going to be like, boom."
The 22-year-old On The Road actress made the comments in a new e-book called Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner - In Their Own Words.
Kristen is thought to have reunited with R-Patz after admitting to the fling with Rupert, and the pair are set to join up to promote the final movie in the vampire saga, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, which is out next month.

Tiger gymnasts compete at West Central Conference meet, host Section 6A teams
The 2008-09 gymnastics season wrapped up with the conference and section meets.
The Morris Area gymnasts participated in the West Central Conference meet at New London-Spicer on Saturday, Feb. 14.
This varsity only competition required coach Trent Oberg to reduce his squad size to nine athletes. Participating in the meet for Morris Area were Katie Huot, Michelle Jipson, Jessica Daly, Cammi Aanerud, Caroline Fritz, Rachel Moser, Larissa Schmidgall, Hailey Kotts, and Paige Schieler.
"Our hopes were high and goals had been set," said Oberg.
However, Tiger scores were not as high as expected. Oberg said the judges were very particular. With a bigger meet, the judging was tougher than usual.
Huot earned All-Conference honors by placing in the top 15 in the conference.
Huot finished the day with an all-around score of 27.95.
Jipson and Moser earned Honorable Mention All-Conference accolades.
Coach Oberg said it was the most gymnasts that the Tigers have had in the Top 20 of the West Central Conference in one season.
Schmidgall scored a new personal-best on bars with a 6.45. She also had a personal-best score of 7.0 on floor.
Moser stuck her beam routine for a new personal-best score of 7.05.
Schieler recorded a personal-best on floor with a 6.875.
The Tigers hosted the Section 6A Gymnastics Meet on Saturday, Feb. 21.
The section meet is a state meet qualifier from which the top team advances along with the top four individuals in each event.
Oberg said it was the first time the section meet has ever been hosted by Morris Area.
"It was a successful meet," said Oberg. "It ran smoothly and there were lots of positive comments from other schools and parents. We should be proud."
Oberg said he appreciated all the time and extra work from athletes, parents and volunteers. "Thanks for your efforts," commented Oberg. "It could not have been done without you."
Again, this was a varsity-only competition and the team was reduced to nine athletes, the same gymnasts that represented Morris Area at the conference meet the weekend before.
The Tigers competed against nine other teams, some that they had not yet met this season.
The judging was tough as well.
Daly achieved a personal-best score on vault with a 7.9.
Jipson improved her personal-best on vault to 8.4.
Moser scored a personal-best on beam with a 7.425.

I did however find a tiny bit of information about using a controller/keyboard game cube combination. I couldnt find much more about it though the artical was very vague.

Hi. I'm trying to create a program that will give the duration between two different times. The times are read in from a text file and are in the form "9:00", "11:00", "15:30", "17:00", etc. I am trying to work out how I'd do this.
The only thing I can think of is making the time an int, but that would cause problems due to the : in the middle of the number. Is there a way to remove the : when reading in the text file, and then add it back in before giving the output? Because if the two times were 9:00 and 11:00, by completing 1100 - 900, I could get 200, which with the : added back in would give 2:00. The only problem I forsee is when the number of minutes is not 0, because 1100 - 930 would give 170, not 130.
If anyone can make sense of my rambling and give me a hand, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After Ram Leela, Ranveer Singh seems to be in a lot of demand, the whole nation wants to see this young lad dance like crazy, more so if it is Mithun's style. Our wishes of the Band Baajaa Baaraat actor playing a street dancer came true! Yes, Ranveer is all set to play a street dancer in Ganesha Acharya's Dehati Disco to be produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The movie is going to be based on dance – a topic which is close to Acharya's heart. Manoj Bajpayee would also be playing an important character in the film.
'Dehati Disco' would definitely be a top runner at the cash counters and also would hit hard on the disco and DJ scenes across the nation. Whatever it may be, if it's going to be another Tattad Tattad, the we wouldn't be complaining. We think that Ranveer will do the due justice to a dehati version of Mithun Chakroborty doing I am a disco dancer.

Commercial solutions are available, however these solutions are very expensive, costing many thousands of dollars in additional hardware and software. More distressing though, is the obvious complexity of these solutions, most requiring several hundred man-hours of consulting time just to set up. Finally, they don't use the Web as their interface, not only making truly remote monitoring impossible, but also making data sharing extremely difficult.
Big Brother is a simple, effective solution to the Systems Monitoring problem, and is presented here for your comments and suggestions.
Big Brother is a loosely-coupled distributed set of tools for monitoring and displaying the current status of an entire Unix network and notifying the admin should need be. It came about as the result of automating the day to day tasks encountered while actively administering Unix systems.
It consists of five major parts:
Big Brother was designed to provide instant information about the health of a Unix Network to anyone, anywhere, with Web access to the site.
Network information is now instantly available to those who need it most: managers, systems administrators, and people on the help desk can actively and simply monitor the health of the network.
If any condition is severe, the administrator will have been paged, can use Big Brother to get additional information, and can proceed to fix the problem. Problem verification, data sharing and correction should improve immediately, since everyone has implicit access to the same information.
Finally, since warnings are displayed, corrective action can be taken even before users notice that there is a problem.
The display matrix shows a status of green (ok), yellow (warning), red (severe), and blue (no contact) for each system/area combination. Furthermore, the entire screen changes color to reflect the most serious condition on the network. In order of increasing severity these conditions are: green, yellow, blue, red.
Therefore one single warning anywhere on the network results in the entire display turning yellow which is highly visible, even from far away.
Each of the elements in the display matrix can then be clicked on to provide additional information, including the code, time, and specific information about the area being monitored.
Additionally, Big Brother now makes detailed information about every server in the network instantly accessible, just by clicking on the server name.
Every machine, firewall and router is accessed via ping every 5 minutes. Any loss of contact results in a code red, and the administrator being paged.
Every registered Web server is accessed every 15 minutes using a bbnet. Loss of contact with a Web server is a severe condition. Inability of access a page due to a "Server Error" results in a warning condition.
All systems are monitored for disk usage. Any disk over 90% full is considered a warning condition. Disks over 95% full are marked as a severe condition, since this situation can quickly result in a system crash or hang.
All systems are monitored for CPU usage. A load average over 1.50 is a warning condition, 3.00 merits a severe condition.
Processes are monitored on each system as well. The choice of what is to be monitored is dependent of what each system actually does. A warning condition results if any of these important processes should die.
System messages are monitored. Big Brother watches /var/adm/messages for NOTICE and WARNING conditions. NOTICE conditions result in the admin being paged immediately. WARNING conditions cause a yellow dot to appear. Clicking on the corresponding dot will report the message that caused the display.
And finally the messaging system itself is monitored by the Central Monitoring station. Any report over 30 minutes old results in that report, and the entire screen being marked in blue, indicating a possible loss of contact within the Big Brother system itself.
Note that all of the above are configurable parameters.
Some of the guidelines involved in the design of Big Brother are the following:
Big Brother is not a replacement for a qualified and experienced Systems Administrator. On the contrary, it is a big brother to the Sys Admin. It does not shut down machines or terminate processes, although it could be programmed to do so. It just identifies and notifies.
Big Brother does not explicitly monitor individual hardware components. However, failure of a hardware component is very likely to cause a severe condition through loss of service.
Big Brother does not monitor performance of the network, servers, databases or any individual application. It will however provide information about CPU loads and implicit information about response time; i.e. telnet connections have 15 seconds to answer.
Big Brother isn't complicated. Once the methodology and underlying tools are understood, changes and enhancements are very simple to make.
Big Brother isn't expensive. In fact, it's free.
Big Brother isn't finished. But it keeps growing every day, doing more and more watching. Big Brother is watching...
Errors in /var/adm/messages should be handled better.
Big Brother should support alphanumeric paging and enhanced messages.
Big Brother should be enhanced to work on black and white screens.
Big Brother should log critical and warning situations.
Big Brother should learn something about Oracle databases.
Big Brother should automatically determine what processes to monitor.
Big Brother should probably try to monitor security.

Big Brother was created by Sean MacGuire, while a consultant with the Tactik Infrastructure Group of Bell Sygma in Montreal. After fifteen years of Unix Systems Administration, Systems Design, and User Interface Design, this system was created to make his life easier.
Sean MacGuire currently has two patents pending, and is the publisher of It's a Bunny, a literary Web Magazine which I-Way magazine ranked as one of the top 500 sites on the the Internet, and the 10th best magazine.
The photo which adorns the Big Brother Display is Sean MacGuire. He is Big Brother... it is meant to be reminicent of George Orwell's book 1984. That's why it's not a pretty picture.

what must a social care worker do if they become aware of unsafe practice
If a social worker believes that unsafe practices are taking place, then according to the Code of Practice for Social Care Workers, they should report the matter to their boss or "somebody higher". The Code of Practice is basically a set of rules and guidelines, put in place by the General Social Care Council, so that everyone who works within the Social Care Service knows exactly what is expected of them and what to do if things go wrong.

text: I have not spent a great deal of time in this machine yet but I will give the run down on what I think of it so far. Positives: I am guessing that this machine has atleast 10% more torque than my 03-95XT had. I have been loading trucks with it since I got it. It digs into the pile with a 1 yard bucket with ease. The hydrualics are faster than my old 95XT. The controls have less resistance and are more smooth. I wasn't anticipating an increase in productivity going with the new machine in this case. I didn't think that the changes over the last couple years were all that significant. They are though. The machines engine and drivetrain are more refined than in years past. There are have been updates on the maintainance side that will make life easier. Physically it looks just like the 03 model. Negatives: I am dissappointed in the cab. The 440 I bought this Spring had shown signs of improvement and am happy with the layout of that machine. This machine has some of the improvements but not all. For those not familiar with the cab lay out there are two compartments on each side with cover. The controls for the AC and heat are in the compartment on the right. The 440 has these controls on the cab post on the left. Much easier to see and operate. Why they are in the box on these machines I don't know. The hyd. coupler activation switch is in the box on the left pushed way to the front where it is difficult to get at. The 440 this switch is on the cab post. easy to operate and see. Mechanically I don't have anything negative to report. It sucks fuel near the rate the last one did. I have not run it enough to get a good feel of exactly how much fuel it uses. Loading trucks it is hard to tell exactly. I'll post more on it after I get back from Big Sky. We'll be at 9500 feet moving a lot of material so I will get a good feel for it. I'll certainly be testing the heater.

Mystery of sacrificial skull mound
The discovery of around 150 skulls of human sacrifice victims in a central Mexico field has baffled experts.
It is rare that such a large number of severed heads has been found outside of a major pyramid or temple complex. Archaeologists are puzzled by the unexpected find of such a large number of skulls at what appears to have been a small, unremarkable shrine.
The heads were carefully deposited in rows or in small mounds, mostly facing east towards the rising sun, some time between 660 and 860 AD, a period when the nearby city-state of Teotihuacan had already declined, but the Aztec empire, founded in 1325, was still centuries in the future.
Georgia State University archaeologist Christopher Morehart, who found the skulls last year in Xaltocan, a farming village just north of Mexico City, said that so far, between 150 and 200 adult skulls or their equivalent in bone parts had been excavated from fields that stand on a former lake bed.
Experts were not expecting to find anything of this kind in the flat, undistinguished pasture land and corn fields. The site is near, but not immediately adjacent to, Teotihuacan, one of the biggest pre-Hispanic cities. It reached its height between 100 BC and AD 750 and was abandoned by the time the Aztecs arrived in the area in the 1300s.
Mr Morehart was conducting a study of ancient agricultural patterns and human landscape uses in the northern part of the Mexico Valley in 2007, when during a walking survey of the site he started noticing looters' pits that had turned up human bones. A subsequent season of excavations in 2012 turned up dozens more skulls. The results of the 2007 dig have just been published in the academic journal Latin American Antiquity.
While the Teotihuacan culture and the Aztecs were known to practise human sacrifice and remains of hundreds of victims have been found in their pyramids or other large structures, the Xaltocan mound "is like a bump in the landscape that you could really easily walk over and not know you're standing on it", Mr Morehart said.
Physical anthropologist Abigail Meza Penaloza of the Institute of Anthropology at Mexico's National University said her team was still cleaning and assembling the skulls, but had a confirmed count of about 130 so far, all of which appear to be of adult males. Ms Meza Penaloza said it was the first find of its kind, both because of the location - a small, artificial mound built in the middle of an agricultural field - and the kind of decapitations carried out there. She said mass sacrifices had been documented at temple inaugurations of temple closings, but not in the middle of fields.
The skulls were also found with a shorter length of vertebrae attached to the skulls than is the case of other such finds, suggesting the decapitation cut was made closer to the base of the skull.
More strange details have emerged. Mr Morehart said some of the skulls were found with finger bones inserted into the eye sockets. "It was common enough that it was intentionally placed there in the eye socket," he said, though the ritual significance of that remains unclear. Dr Michael Smith, professor of anthropology at Arizona State University, who was not involved in the project, said it was "certainly an impressive and very puzzling find", adding: "I am not aware of any other finds of mass burials or mass sacrifices outside of major settlements."

Great stuff, again. Don't remember exactly how the last one went, but this is pretty amazing, probably lots of improvements. Great background beat, smooth piano play, nice chords in the background. Everything flows along smoothly. Gets better and better as it goes along too, and more things keep adding on, love it. Can't possibly get much better than this now, feels great. Keep it going!

nice but...
it's a very nice song, but it doesn't feel like green. If anything it feels like yellow.
so you vote low, cause green doesn't fit =S

Sen. Charles Schumer will introduce a bill requiring "passenger advocates'' at airports to help elderly, disabled and other passengers following complaints about screening agents John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Schumer says he's pushing the measure because the federal Transportation Security Administration failed to create the passenger helpers voluntarily when he recommended it in December.
An elderly woman prompted Schumer's December request when she said was strip searched by security officials at JFK.
Other passengers, some with physical disabilities, made similar claims.
The TSA has apologized for individual cases but maintains it doesn't do strip searches.
The TSA also says it already has many measures, including a hotline and customer service managers to help passengers.

Update maintainer utility for making distfiles from cvs checkouts. No
significance to users of this port, unless you are making your own distfiles.
I forgot this: This port *requires* a ports version of Perl, 5.6.1 or
newer. Among other things, that is why FreshPorts marks it as "broken".
* Allow building under -CURRENT.
* Changes in LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS passed to configure.
* Removed stale javascript dirs (venkman) from plist.
* Updated mkdistfile to remove more unneeded dirs. Used to make a
new distfile from a cvs checkout. For maintainers only, really.
* Disable bi-directional text in config.
* Remove dupes from mozconfig.in.
The problem with the martian file selection dialogs is gone. I am not sure of
the cause, but apparently it had to do with either which version of the NSPR
libs phoenix runs with or the link order of libraries. I don't care, as long as
it doesn't do it, 'cause I do not read Martian.
Should be running against its own set of NSPR libs now. (Note: you can't just
use ldd to check this since the startup scripts play all kinds of fun games.)
You are advised to remove $HOME/.phoenix before running the new version.
Accidentally forgot a dependency on libiconv.
2. Remove components (4) of javascript debugger from plist.
1. Broken for system perl. Sorry but we don't know yet how to make it work.
that .... hahaha).
3. Remove dupes from files/mozconfig.in.
4. Whack the share and include dirs in a post-install target (I know it's
slower that way, but I'm gonna let Trevor work out how to do it
otherwise, since he so kindly volunteered.)
5. We need an icon for this, people. Any graphics geeks out there?
Thanks to Adam Weinberger for his valuable info about perl versions,
and his continuing research. Thanks to everybody else who's tested, even
if y'all did report the same thing. 8-) Finally, thanks to Warren Zevon,
whose song My ****'s ****ed Up certainly applies to the early stages
of this port.
Upped to PORTREVISION 4.
Added pkg-message file.
Put XP_UNIX in MAKE_ENV just to be safe.
Show pkg-message at start and end.
I think it's stabilized now.
OK, I just need to step back and take a deep breath.
Changed -DXP_UNIX to XP_UNIX=1 in MAKE_ARGS. Why can't the damned makes
agree on what they want? #$##@#!
Changed MAKE_FLAGS to MAKE_ARGS. Stupid mistake. I was in a hurry and not
in the best of moods ... sorry.
This is a TEST version - if it works I'll force a Makefile commit
stating otherwise. I'm trying to get the perl version and File::Spec(imen)
problems ironed out.
Please try this with whatever version of perl you are using and report
back to email@example.com. Thank you. Don't forget to tell us if you
are doing "use.perl port" or "use.perl system" if you have one of the
-- AlanE, who's ready to propose a virtual category called "pita".
1. Bump PORTREVISION because of plist changes.
2. Fix plist to catch the missing files/dirs. It should now deinstall
cleanly (it does here, anyway).
2a.The dirs that were created with @exec /bin/mkdir are now removed using
@unexec /bin/rmdir blah/blah || true.
3. Added CONFIG_SH=/bin/sh to mozconfig.in so that we'd all use the same
shell for configuration.
Note: you can use Perl < 5.8, but you need File::Spec for whatever perl
you've got /usr/bin/perl pointing to (or /usr/local/bin/perl, if there is
no /usr/bin/perl [-CURRENT?].
If there were PRs on this, I've forgotten which ones and will close them
out separately. I can do a forced commit on Makefile to relate the PRs,
if any, to the changes.
I accidentally tested for /usr/bin/PERL in caps, which of course does not
exist except in the 4-PERVERSE branch. This most recent change makes it
lower case like it should be.
This commit is for Nate, who had a very good point.
Fixed another dumb idiot thing to do without reverting to system perl
and checking it. I think I must have left my brain asleep in bed this
Fixed a stoopid mistake I made by not using -f with ${RM}. Caught, gutted,
And filleted by Douglas Berry <firstname.lastname@example.com>, who then served it
with a delightful lemon and basil butter, garnished with lark's vomit.
Thanks, Doug!

Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize

2. Incorporated my uncommited mods with Trevor's changes.
3. Remade pkg-plist accordingly.
4. Use /usr/bin/perl if present, then /usr/local/bin/perl.
5. Add File::Spec to BUILD_DEPENDS if perl < 5.8.0.
Changed MAINTAINER to my FreeBSD address.
We don't need all those mtree directories.
Add dependency on GTK+ 1.2.X. Tidy whitespace (portlint -t).

2. Expand the BROKEN message to include instruction to run 'use.perl port'.
3. .undef NO_IGNORE.
Moved a comment to the left edge. ##@#@$!~!@$$ make(1).
1. Put back the Perl 5.8.0 requirement. I am *NOT* gonna fight over File::Spec
versioning with this port.
Backout <sigh/> the Xft font lib usage since it doesn't compile.

as this is a major change.
1. Added Xft2 to lib dependencies. If moz-devel can require it, we can too.
2. Changed .error to BROKEN= to keep other stuff from barfing. Sorry about
that. Of course, I didn't see any of it here. (suggested by marcus@).
1. Respect CFLAGS.
2. Set appropriate compile/link options for threading.
1. Expanded configure/make options in files/mozconfig.in.
* Fixed problem with reliably finding perl 5.8.0.
* Made build faster.
* Shut up most of the compiler warnings (turned off --pedantic).
* Strip the binaries.
* Saved 2 meg on size of binary package (16M -> 14M).
2. Moved install to ${X11BASE}/lib/phoenix to keep it out of the way
of mozilla, since it uses the same namespace for dirs/files.
3. Link bin/phoenix and bin/phoenix.config into install tree's bin dir.
TO DO: make installation smaller. make distfile smaller. test,test,test.
First working version of port. Needs testing and cleanup, probably move
over to /usr/X11R6 (or not), but it's a start. And it's *fast*.
Phoenix is a fast, minimal browser from the Mozilla project. This port
is a work in progress for the next few days.

Professors awarded for work defending death row inmates
Two Cornell Law School professors have won prestigious awards for their pro bono work in the past decade defending prisoners sentenced to death. John H. Blume and Sheri Lynn Johnson were both honored with the Thurgood Marshall Award for Capital Representation given by the Association of the Bar of New York City.
Blume and Johnson were among more than 200 New York state lawyers honored in July.
"We want to recognize peoples' hard work," says Art Coy, chair of the Bar's Committee on Capital Punishment. "But the hope is the day will come when we won't have to give this award because there won't be any death penalty."
Blume directs the Cornell Death Penalty Project, which has represented 35 cases in the past 10 years at the trial, postconviction and federal habeas corpus stages. Johnson, an expert on the influence of race on the criminal process, is the project's assistant director. The project has won the reversal of death sentences or convictions in 15 cases and won the release of one prisoner. Six of seven trial cases have resulted in sentences of life or less. Other cases are still pending.
Since 1993, the project has fostered empirical scholarship on the death penalty, offering students an opportunity to work on death penalty cases and providing information and assistance for death penalty lawyers.

THE New Zealand dollar has slipped against its trans-Tasman counterpart after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its key interest rate on hold, while making no reference to having room to cut rates.
The kiwi fell to 86.62 Australian cents at 5pm in Wellington from 86.87 cents immediately before the release and 86.80 cents on Monday.
The kiwi increased to 78.25 US cents at 5pm from 78.11 cents at 8am and 77.87 cents on Monday.
The RBA kept the target cash rate at 2.5 per cent, with governor Glenn Stevens saying the looser monetary policy was supporting interest-sensitive spending and asset values, and more was expected.
Household borrowing was still subdued, though the bank saw signs of increasing demand, and the RBA's board will continue to adjust policy settings to foster growth and keep a lid on inflation, he said.
"People are looking for the relative strength of the RBA's easing bias and the RBNZ's tightening bias," said Chris Tennent-Brown, FX economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
"The MPS (monetary policy statement) and the RBA minutes would be of more influence on the cross rate."
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will publish its full monetary policy statement on Thursday next week, providing its first set of forecasts since rolling out macro-prudential tools to limit low-equity home lending.
The NZ currency rose to 77.81 yen at 5pm in Wellington from 76.77 yen on Monday and to 59.33 euro cents from 58.98 cents.
The trade-weighted index increased to 74.21 from 73.86.

i found a Tacon brushless motor 2860 2550 kv 1300 watts that can handle a 5s but its got a 4mm shaft and the fan i ordered is set up for a 3.175 shaft and i cannot find a 4mm adaptor good price at 40bucks seems like the motors im finding with the 3.175mm shaft are not going to be the power im wanting so im not sure what to do.....thanks for the reply guys every little bit helps : )
if you want a good 5S combo, I would recommend the E-Flite 70mm fan/motor with an 80Amp ESC. you just can't beat it IMHO. I use this exact combo in my RBC Skyhawk and it's absolutely ballistic in performance. of course, if you can find the SAPAC MB1 combo, that's a good one too, but the E-Flite's are a dime a dozen and can be purchased relatively cheaply. you can run the cheaper stuff if you like, but the bottom line is that on 5S, these E-Flite fans will run all day long, give great power and just won't quit. for the money, you can't beat them. for the ESC, I almost exclusively use the Turnigy Plush series of ESC's. again, for the money, you just can't beat them. I've never had a problem with a Plush ESC and those that have are few and far between. try asking that question to CC owners. LOL.
as for servos, the ones linked above at HK are great. if you want to go a little cheaper, the HXT900's from HK are awesome servos. you may get the odd one or two that aren't quite up to snuff, but for the most part, they are a great bang for the buck. they work well and most importantly, they center as they are supposed to. shop well at HK and you'll find some really nice servos for the money.
thanks for all the great info Rich...never bought anything from HK before and ordered there 3in. fans with no motors a couple days ago gonna see how long it takes to get here...im still thinking about going ahead and ordering there 3 1/2 in. fans as they are set up for motors with the 5mm shaft ill have better motor selection if i go that rout and that will give me plenty of fans for a years worth of plane building lol might be a tight fit to get the 3 1/2 in. fans in the plane but if it works i wont have to worry about power for sure...kinda at a standstill till i get my tax fefund cant go much further on the plane till i see how the fans will fit and make sure i wont have to modify the bottom...then i can finish sheeting and sanding and filling the main body : )
Coming along nicly. Tax time, a wonderfull time of the year! My partner got her state back in 4 working days. Thought mine would be here today, no luck yet. Feds, a little longer, next week.
I only ordered once from HK myself, and it took 7 days from Hong Kong. But, is yours is coming from there, read this:
Asia warehouse holiday period notice. 21/01/2012
It's that time of year again; when 20% of the world's population takes a holiday to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
During this holiday period HobbyKing will have varying levels of service due to customs, courier/shipping closures and public holidays. Here's what you need to know.
-All Satellite warehouses (US/DE/AU) will remain open and function normally. If you make an order to one of these warehouses it will be processed normally.
-HobbyKing Customer Service will remain open the entire time during the holiday period (21-28 Jan); however support will be slow due to an increase in support requests.
-Orders placed between 21~31 of January will be shipped in the first week of February.
I do like you idea of the carbon rods for gear. Just remember, like a leaf spring, that has a shackel in the back for flexing, you will need to have a way for the rod to move reward. Possibly, inside a larger carbon tube? And good hard points to mount to. Mark
hey mark good catch on the shackle part never thought about that...stoped at my lhs today after work and picked up a couple more balsa sheets a new box of pins and some nice hinges for the elevator or hatch doors...its a shame my local hobby shop dont stock no edf fans they mostly sell basic building stuff or high end stuff... nice folks tho they at least know there stuff....again guys thatnks for the great help so far

Philadelphia March 30. 1844.
My Dear Friend,
Graham has been speaking to me, lately, about your Biography, and I am anxious to write it at once — always provided you have no objection. Could you forward me the materials within a day or two? I am just now quite disengaged — in fact positively idle.
I presume you have read the Memoir of Willis, in the April No: of G. It is written by a Mr Landor — but I think it full of hyperbole. Willis is no genius — a graceful trifler — no more. He wants force & sincerity. He is very frequently far-fetched. In me, at least, he never excites an emotion. Perhaps the best poem he has written, is a little piece called "Unseen Spirits", beginning
"The Shadow lay —
Along Broadway".
You inquire about my own portrait. It has been done for some time — but is better as an engraving, than as a portrait. It scarcely resembles me at all. When it will appear I cannot say. Conrad & Mrs Stephens will certainly come before me — perhaps Gen: Morris. My Life is not yet written, and I am at a sad loss for a Biographer — for Graham insists upon leaving the matter to myself. [page 2:]
I sincerely rejoice to hear of the success of your volume. To sell eleven hundred copies of a bound book of American poetry, is to do wonders. I hope every thing from your future endeavours. Have you read "Orion"? Have you seen the article on "American Poetry" in the "London Foreign Quarterly"? It has been denied that Dickens wrote it — but, to me, the article affords so strong internal evidence of his hand that I would as soon think of doubting my existence. He tells much truth — although he evinces much ignorance and more spleen. Among other points he accuses myself of "metrical imitation" of Tennyson, citing, by way of instance, passages from poems which were written & published by me long before Tennyson was heard of: — but I have, at no time, made any poetical pretension. I am greatly indebted for the trouble you have taken about the Lectures, and shall be very glad to avail myself, next season, of any invitation from the "Boston Lyceum." Thank you also, for the hint about the North A. Review: — I will bear it in mind. I mail you, herewith, a "Dollar Newspaper," containing a somewhat extravagant tale of my own. I fear it will prove little to your taste.
How dreadful is the present condition of our Literature! To what are things tending? We want two things, certainly: — an International Copy-Right Law, and a well-founded Monthly Journal, of sufficient [page 3:] ability, circulation, and character, to control and so give tone to, our Letters. It should be, externally, a specimen of high, but not too refined Taste: — I mean, it should be boldly printed, on excellent paper, in single column, and be illustrated, not merely embellished, by spirited wood designs in the style of Grandville. Its chief aims should be Independence, Truth, Originality. It should be a journal of some 120 pp, and furnished at $5. It should have nothing to do with Agents or Agencies. Such a Magazine might be made to exercise a prodigious influence, and would be a source of vast wealth to its proprietors. There can be no reason why 100,000 copies might not, in one or two years, be circulated: but the means of bringing it into circulation should be radically different from those usually employed.
Such a journal might, perhaps, be set on foot by a coalition, and, thus set on foot, with proper understanding, would be irresistible. Suppose, for example, that the élite of our men of letters should combine secretly. Many of them control papers &c. Let each subscribe, say $200, for the commencement of the undertaking; furnishing other means, as required from time to time, until the work be established. The articles to be supplied by the members solely, and upon a concerted plan of action. A nominal editor to be elected from among the number. How could such a journal fail? I would like very much to hear your opinion upon this matter. Could not the "ball be set in motion"? If we do not defend [page 4:] ourselves by some such coalition, we shall be devoured, without mercy, by the Godeys, the Snowdens, et id genus omne.
Most truly your friend

Q: Rear Oxygen Sensor Location on 1996 Lexus LS400Edit
I can not find the direct connect for the rear oxygen sensor on my Lexus LS400 1996. I can see if coming of the eh exhaust system, and I see the lead going into the passenger compartment, but then?
| |
Both rear O2 sensors go through a rubber grommet in the floor and into the passenger compartment the four wire gray connector is located up by the center console toward the radio, you have to remove the sill panel at the door it just pulls up and of and lift the front carpets up not such a big job. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info .There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription.

Issue No. 12 - December (1974 vol. 23)
pp: 1315-1317
D.K. Banerji , Department of Computer Science, University of Ottawa
Residue arithmetic offers the possibility of "carryfree" arithmetic as far as the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication are concerned. It is faster to implement these operations using residue arithmetic as compared to implementation using binary arithmetic. However, the process of algebraic sign detection is much slower in residue arithmetic and tends to offset the advantage of speed in the above three operations.
Algebraic sign detection, binary arithmetic, relative speed, residue arithmetic, residue number systems.

Some wag once said that if you want to keep your appetite for sausage and politics, you should never watch either one being made. To that warning I add the process of making art. Since I consider writing, music, and the visual arts to be infinitely superior experiences to a plate of juicy kielbasa or a Congressional debate on C-SPAN, I'm somewhat uncomfortable dragging art into such greasy company. It's nonetheless true that when creative types start serving up the blood and gristle of their own egos (the indispensable psychological factor in the creative process), I start getting indigestion.
So it's a testament to the fleet-footed, superbly performed Undermain production of Anton Chekhov's first theatrical success, The Seagull, that my tummy never once rumbled. This dramatic comedy for ensemble (or maybe it's a comic drama; decide for yourself) eyeballs one summer vacation at a prosperous Russian farm shared by family and friends of the dauntingly vain, hilariously human actress Irina (Jenna Worthen) and her temperamental, iconoclastic adult son Konstantin (Jeremy Schwartz). These two characters are the poles to which others are attracted or repelled. Both are creative types (Konstantin struggles to become a writer of "new forms") who require so much attention, they tend to suck all the oxygen out of the room. Perhaps this explains why so many of the satellites that orbit around them make decisions that suggest a cerebral cortex deprived of sufficient fuel.
Before we puncture this hermetically sealed universe of fragile sensibilities, a word about Chekhov: A theatrical-buff friend of mine says that any actor who attempts the formidable, turn-of-the-century Russian pioneer of realism must be able to "give good face." This indelicate diagnosis is a bull's-eye description of the heavy burden placed on actors--and the directors who guide them through rehearsals--to reveal, or at least strongly suggest, the motives that are only implied in the playwright's dialogue. One interpretation of a nebulous artistic school such as "realism" is that the characters onstage aren't any wittier, handsomer, smarter, sexier, more virtuous, or more evil than you or I. The accumulation and consequences of their ambitions and fears over a two-hour period, and our own empathetic reactions to it, are what constitute the value of this play. Performers who are unprepared to embroider the appropriate emotions around Chekhov's skeletal patterns of desperation wind up looking vapid and spacy, and the play itself becomes a symphony of anticlimactic pauses.
That The Seagull was Anton Chekhov's first theatrical hit after a long dry spell (he'd made a modest name as a writer of short stories, then was almost forgotten after a series of underappreciated plays in Moscow) shouldn't surprise us. He wrote it as a comedy, which means its characters and situations were jacked-up enough to woo theater audiences accustomed to the "special effects" of their day--farce and fable. And while writers from Socrates to Moliere were eager to lampoon the vanities of artists, Chekhov was among the first to establish a connection between their insecurities and their techniques of expression.
The nature of how, and what, to express is the subject of a titanic battle of wills between mama Irina and baby Konstantin, whose earnest effort to move the theater into new directions is freighted with an unfortunate ponderousness. He's resentful (and probably jealous) of his mother's relationship with Boris (Bruce DuBose), a much younger novelist who prefers fishing over gabbing about how painful and beautiful art is. Boris' grim serenity is a big turn-on to starry-eyed Nina (Jenni Tooley), daughter of a rich neighbor and the object of overweening admiration from Konstantin. It's difficult to tell with what Nina's more infatuated--Boris' quiet seriousness or his fame. Meanwhile, black-clad Masha (Kathryn Leigh Daniels), daughter of the manager (Michael Corolla) of Irina's brother's farm, seems to fancy Konstantin for the pure, restless, frustrated searching of his mind.
Round this out with Irina's invalid brother, Sorin (Robert Erwin, a hilarious observer of the shenanigans), and Dr. Dorn (Tom Lenaghen), a country physician with an eye for the ladies, and you've got a writhing nest of possible romantic complications. The Seagull leaves few farcical paths unexplored, but this wouldn't be Russian literature if somebody didn't make the ultimate grand gesture--suicide. The shift from sexual intrigue to tragic self-sacrifice isn't a particularly jarring one here, thanks to Katherine Owens' smooth-as-molasses direction--the tone she establishes nudges the actors always to remain connected to the sorrow that flows just underneath the surface of even Chekhov's pithiest dialogue.

A large-cast comedy like this one means that almost every actor involved has his or her shining moments, so singling anyone out for praise is an arbitrary exercise. Thankfully, Jenna Worthen doesn't match her actress character's emotional excesses with her own indulgences--she's arch and impatient, but equally convincing when Irina steps outside of herself to take the time to charm her son or her lover. Best of all, at a self-described "sixtysomething," Worthen is still sexy enough to make us believe she'd entice a mate much younger than herself.
As said mate, Bruce DuBose reminds us that he has one of the richest, most enticing voices on area stages, and it's best applied not in full thespian gust, but little moments of revelation--Boris is equally beguiling whether he's recounting the decidedly unromantic nature of his own artistic impulses or being wooed back by bald flattery to a previous lover. Jenni Tooley is forced by the script to descend into a somewhat inexplicable quasi-madness, in which she keeps confusing herself with a seagull. She deteriorates, wrapped all in black, with admirable focus; all her gushing expressions of faith that precede this final display connect every dot with as much intelligence as any actor could. Kathryn Leigh Daniels, a high school senior in Addison, more than holds her own among these seasoned cast members; all clad in black ("I'm in mourning for my life"), she offers hilarious commentary on the tempestuous poetic temperament.
The Seagull lowers you into a pool of sharks who seem as eager to cannibalize themselves as others. The self-enraptured quality of most of the characters occasionally makes this claustrophobic vacation comedy feel like shop talk in the worst way--a late-19th-century artist gossiping about the frailties of his contemporaries, which (surprise!) are much like the frailties of creative men and women today. The finale suggests that artistic fulfillment is worth dying for. I don't disagree, but must everyone do so much whining on their way to martyrdom?
The Seagull runs through November 15. Call 871-

Italy cracks down on paedophiles
By David Willey in Rome
The Italian Government has announced new measures to combat paedophile crime a week after two brutal murders of children who had been sexually abused.
The government decided to set up an inter-ministerial committee composed of the ministers of health, justice, the interior, education and social affairs, to co-ordinate future action against child abusers.
Local judges will also pool information on crimes of violence and sexual abuse against children, and schools are to take a more prominent role in educating children and their parents about the dangers of sexually-motivated attacks.
The Justice Minister, Piero Fassino, told a news conference that he was strongly critical of a newspaper's publication this week of the names of convicted sex offenders.
"It's useless and barbaric," he said, referring to the lists of names published by the daily Libero.
The minister said existing laws against paedophile crime were quite adequate - it was sufficient to apply them and co-ordinate them better.
'No magic solution'
Italy's Social Affairs Minister, Livia Turco, said there was no magic solution to the problem.
Teachers are to be given more support and training in how to recognise signs of psychological stress among their pupils which could be the result of sexual abuse.
The complexity of the problem can be gauged by new details which have come out about the murder of an eight-year-old girl in southern Italy last week.
At first, police arrested a young man who had confessed to the crime. It now transpires that at least five other youths are alleged to have taken part in the systematic torture and sexual abuse of the girl, who eventually died from multiple burns to her body.

The lights are on
UPDATE: Website GamerZines believes it has uncovered evidence that links the image above to Capcom's Resident Evil series, and possibly Slant Six Games' rumored multiplayer-focused title, Resident Evil: Raccoon City. Check out their article for all of the details. The data they have is convincing, to say the least.
ORIGINAL STORY: Spike's site just posted a trailer for the upcoming VGAs, and it looks as though they're being sneaky, too. In addition to calling out the nominees and saying why you should bother watching the thing, there are a few flashes of...something between clips.
We froze the action down and grabbed the image above for you. All right. It appears to be some kind of new zombie game. A few folks are taking that "1 of 3" in the corner to be a reference to Left4Dead3. And what is that text in the upper left corner? What do you think?
In addition, a QR code appeared in the trailer just before the image. It leads to http://mm.mtv.com/avTWzR. It's another Spike site, with the words "LOOK CLOSER" and "MURDER" on a black background. I dinked around with it for a while in Photoshop and couldn't find anything else in the background.

Archaeologists say the ruins were found near Jerusalem and are "the best example to date of the uncovered fortress city of King David."
The area is famous for possibly being the site of the biblical battle between David and Goliath.
The findings include two areas of specific interest.
One is a palace believed to have belonged to the king and the other is a storage room.
Researchers say that room was likely used to hold agricultural products and they call it "indisputable proof of the existence of a central authority in Judah during the time of King David."
Reports in the Jerusalem Post point to another important point. "This is the only site in which organic material was found, including olive seeds that can be carbon-14 dated."
The new site has two gates which matches up to what was referred to as Shaarayim in the Bible.
Archaeologists also believe the newfound city was situated exactly where a king would have wanted to be.
"From here one has an excellent vantage looking out into the distance, from as far as the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Hebron Mountains and Jerusalem in the east," they noted.
