Mizzou announced they have indefinitely suspended wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham for a violation of team rules. The Tigers had their first scrimmage Saturday.
The suspension comes in the middle of spring practice.

"It's unfortunate, but it's the right thing to do for our football program, for the athletic department, and also for Dorial," Gary Pinkel said in a statement. "We have high standards related to the expectations that come along with being a Missouri Tiger, and Dorial has not met those recently. Representing Mizzou and our fans is a privilege, and we'll work with him during this process. It's been disappointing to have this, and other issues which have taken place lately. It's frustrating, because we work very hard to instill responsibility and discipline in our young men so that our program represents Mizzou the right way. These actions aren't representative of those expectations, and we are addressing these issues head on."
The second-team All-SEC receiver caught 59 passes for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns in his 2013 breakout season, and it would be a devastating blow to the offense to be DGB-less. He's a sure-fire first-round pick if he can stay out of trouble.
DGB was arrested on January 11 for suspicion of felony drug activity. He's maintained his innocence after the arrest, and he and his family said they are confident he won't be charged. That was the second time DGB had a run in with the law at Mizzou, as the first time was a 2012 arrest on a marijuana charge.

Builders sign up new tenants, plan to expand building
OBERLIN — By October, you may be able to shop at a new discount shoe store or eat at a Chinese restaurant near the Wal-Mart at state Route 58 and U.S. Route 20.
A developer is embarking on a $4 million project to chop off the front of the old Ames store, put on new store fronts and extend the building on the east and west ends.
The result will be more than 51,000 square feet of new shopping space in the Oberlin Square Shopping Center and creative reuse of an empty big box store, developer Lou DeVicchio said.
Signed tenants include a Dollar General store, a discount shoe retailer called Shoe Show, Advance America and China Empire, a chain restaurant, DeVicchio said.
There is a lot of interest in the shopping center following the October 2006 opening of a Wal-Mart store located to the west, he said.
DeVicchio said he has a green light to begin demolition work and site preparation, although there are still some pending issues with the city and state.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has asked for a $9,000 traffic study, which will include traffic counts in the area, DeVicchio said.
One issue that remains is whether the city will allow access from state Route 58, where the combined entrance and exit now is located.
City planners have been debating whether the entrance and exit should be limited to right-hand turns in and right-hand turns out or whether a traffic light should be installed, he said.
A lot of the traffic into the new strip center will use the road constructed on the west to accommodate the new Wal-Mart, which faces the Ames building. A newly constructed gas station also is on the Wal-Mart site and an existing Pizza Hut and car wash will remain.
DeVicchio originally developed the Ames in 1993, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001. The Oberlin store was one of the chain's most successful sites and was the last area store to close, he said.
A former Ames store on Cleveland Street in Elyria also was modified and now houses a Dollar Tree general store, although there still is empty space in that complex.
The builder for the project in Oberlin is Ratliff Construction of Wooster, which has experience in modifying four other big box stores for reuse.
The goal is to retain a useable portion of the building while modifying it so the store fronts do not have wasted space to the rear, said Alan Ratliff, a spokesman for Ratliff Construction.
The plans call for cutting out a 43-feet deep chunk of the big box store, which stretches 200 feet deep, he said. To the west, the building will be extended by 7,000 square feet, while 3,500 square feet will be added to the east.
The first part of the project could be completed in time for openings in October, DeVicchio said.

3 suspected of stealing from Ames building
OBERLIN — Oberlin police arrested three people suspected of stealing copper wiring from the Ames building after Sgt. Patrick Durica noticed a rear door was open shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday.
Charged with breaking and entering are Reginald Mahoney, 40, of Montgomery, Ala., Vactor Linvell, 35, of Elyria, and a 17-year-old Lorain boy, police said.

Tim Sherwood says talismanic midfielder Sandro is currently "not good enough" to get into the Tottenham Hotspur squad after returning from injury.
The Brazilian was not even named on the bench for today's game against relegation contenders Fulham, prompting him to broadcast a tweet confirming that he was fully fit.
And after the match Sherwood confirmed he had been left unimpressed with the defensive midfielder's recent performances in training.
He said: "I like Sandro's qualities but at the moment he's not selected. I just think Nacir Chadli and Paulinho have done well.
"He's been injured but in my eyes it wasn't right to put him in the squad – other people were ahead of him.
"I don't care about the tweet – he can tweet what he wants. He'll always get an honest opinion from me and at the end of the day he's not telling any lies, he's not injured and he's fit to play but he's not selected because he's not up to it at the moment.
"He can bang on the door all he wants but he'll get the same answer. I really don't have a problem with him, he's a good lad, I don't have a problem with anything he's got to say, he's not being disrespectful to me I don't think."
Minutes after Sherwood's television interview in which he expressed his feelings on the midfielder, Sandro tweeted: "Lol lol lol…"
Spurs ran out comfortable 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Paulinho, Kane and Kaboul, and Sherwood said he was pleased to see his side had not conceded in the opening minutes as in recent games.
He said: "I've tried not to be too anxious with the boys and tell them we need to start well - they know that. It was about settling into the game as quickly as they could today.
"I wasn't overjoyed with the start but it was nice to still be in the game after five minutes."
Christian Eriksen provided assists for Paulinho and Kaboul's goals with two superb whipped free-kicks.
And he and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who pulled off a couple of fantastic reaction saves, were singled out for high praise from their manager.
Sherwood said: "Eriksen is a fantastic advert for any young player who wants to improve themselves - I have to drag him off the training field every day.
"And Lloris is a genuine world class player. He gets on with it, doesn't say a lot but he leads by example and when he's needed he's done brilliantly."
Sherwood's future has been under increasing uncertainty, with more big names being linked with the Spurs managerial job in the summer, but the head coach insists he is staying focused on the job in hand.
He said: "The speculation has never gone away – I've always fended off the same questions and I just had to get on with it.
"It's not ideal obviously but it's the environment that's been created. It's a great honour to manage this football club and I just have to be professional and prepare them to win football matches as best I can, and I think I'm good at it."

Finally got rid of the annoying (what I thought was) noise from bouncing chain!
Expand Messages
- I'm extremely happy to finally solve this issue and thought I would share. I've been annoyed by a loud, metal-against-metal noise coming from the drivetrain of my BD over the past weeks (months?). I spent most of this time trying to reduce chain bouncing since I had the impression that was the cause of this noise. This is obviously famous for BD and X-conversions alike since the chain is unusually long. Today I even considered buying an idler (the famous, somewhat overpriced terracycle idler kit). This is particularly hard since I'm out of the US so anything gets here very expensive. Anyways, I thought I'd give it a last try before moving on.
BTW, my prior attempts to reduce the noise include wrapping some areas up with old tubes (http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5348/9205615888_84d5306afe_b.jpg). That obviously helped with the (real) chain bouncing noise. Nonetheless, the real annoying, louder noise persisted every time I went downhill or hit bumps, potholes and stuff like that. I also increased the tension of the Deore rear derailleur that came stock with my BD (opened it up and moved the spring to a higher tension position). Obviously, the b-tension screw was already at its max tension position. Today I decided to remove extra links from the chain to make it shorter, therefore increasing the tension and reducing room for bouncing around. Apparently the BD comes with 2 extra inches of chain (according to Sheldon Brown slack for derailleur chains can be reduced down to large-large total length plus 1 link, so I cut one extra out). All this helps, but the worst component of the noise still persisted.
To make an even longer story short, today I finally realized where the noise came from and decided to share it in case someone else also suffers from this very annoying problem.
The loud noise coming from rear drivetrain was caused by the derailleur itself hitting the frame, close to the right-side dropout. This became obviously when I found marks on the derailleur cage compatible to several consecutive hits (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3677/9205615076_ab1ffb91fc_b.jpg). Apparently this is known issue with Shimano derailleurs (particularly Deore components). Shimano even sells a rubberized protector to be installed on top of the derailleur in order to silence it.
So I decided to go the same route and installed a piece of some foamy, old yoga mat I had around on the frame (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7303/9205616712_a20f90c590_b.jpg), on top of where the derailleur collides with it, and the noise is gone! I couldn't believe how easy it was after all to silence it.
Anyways, if you got a similar problem, give it a try. I know it's less of a problem for Xtracycle (FreeRad) converted bikes. I used to ride one for several years and never had a problem with chain hitting anything of derailleur noise. On the BD it was driving me nuts.
Keep on riding, radicals!

By Ken Warren
OTTAWA — The next stage in Daniel Alfredsson's injury recovery will come next week, when the Ottawa Senators' captain steps on the ice for the first time since having back disc surgery in June.
"The rehab is going well," Alfredsson said Thursday as the club unveiled its marketing campaign for its upcoming 20th season. "I will start skating next week and that's another step in the process."
Alfredsson first plans to skate without equipment. If all goes well after a few light workouts, he plans to join his fellow Ottawa-area professionals who have already started playing informal games of shinny.
"I can't say I'm 100% right now, but it's definitely a lot better," said Alfredsson, who has been busy with off-ice exercises to strengthen his core muscles.
He has also been do everything possible to stretch his muscles and is doing yoga two or three times per week.
Alfredsson, who turns 39 in December, scored 14 goals and 17 assists in 54 games, his least-productive year since 1998-99 when he scored 11 goals and 22 assists in 58 games.
At first, he attempted to play through the disc problem, which manifested itself by reducing the strength in his right leg, but his problems were compounded by the team's struggles.
Alfredsson believed the injury would heal itself through rehabilitation, but when there was no improvement by May, surgery was the only option.
"Last year, I wasn't in pain all the time, but I lost the strength in my right leg," he said. "That was extremely frustrating. I had to make the decision to have surgery. From then on, it has been a lot better and I can see the positives, the light at the end of the tunnel."

Lateral 2007
Although Kathryn Kennedy died in August 2009, aged 82, her winemaking legacy lives on. Marty Mathis, Kennedy's son, has been the winemaker at Kathryn Kennedy Winery since 1981, and now runs the business. We have him to thank for continuing the tradition of making superb wines at the estate winery in Saratoga.
At the Evening of Wine & Roses event last November, a fundraiser put on annually by the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust, I tasted the 2007 Lateral, and I well remembered the 2005 Lateral as being a well-made complex wine that was full of flavor.
The 2007 Lateral is equally good, although it has a slightly different blend of wines–the majority of Merlot and Cabernet Franc being the heart and soul of the wine. The 2007 Lateral ($29) is a blend of 40 percent Merlot, 20 percent Cabernet Franc, 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 percent Malbec and 4 percent Petit Verdot. Malbec is known for its good blending qualities because it is rich, lush and it adds deeply concentrated flavor.
The inspiration for Kathryn Kennedy's Lateral wine comes from the famous wines of the St. Emilion district of Bordeaux, and we all know how fabulous most of those wines are. The winery states that it's a "go-to wine for the dinner table," meaning that it pairs pretty well with every dish. It's a full-bodied blend with a bold fruit-forward complexity and lovely mouthfeel.
Kathryn Kennedy Winery also makes estate Cabernet; Small Lot Cabernet; Reserve Syrah, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. It's really unfortunate for us that the winery is not open to the public. The view from their property in the Saratoga hills must be amazing–not to mention the wonderful wines that await.
Kathryn Kennedy Winery, 13180 Pierce Road, Saratoga. Tel:
(408) 867-4170. kathrynkennedywinery.com. Closed to all visitors.

500-600 word essay for involving John Donne and the movie Wit
Write an essay, approximately 500-600 words, in which you respond to these queries. In this instance, I mean that you can structure your body paragraphs as each one responding to a different query.
In your introduction, consider how this drama demonstrates reading as a creative act. How does Vivian's story illustrate the different ways literature can play a role in people's lives? WRITE A THESIS THAT SUMMARIZES YOUR VIEW.
Use quotes from John Donne and the film in your discussion.
What does the poetry of John Donne mean to Vivian Bearing?—
Ø How does it connect to her reading as a child?
Ø How does it define her personality as an adult?
Ø What does it mean to her after her diagnosis and her struggle with cancer?
Ø Can you connect her love of Donne with the last piece her advisor reads her? (The difference is obvious. What's the connection?)
Conclusion: Describe a work of art (literary, visual, et al) that "helps" you in some way.
NOTE: Vivian quotes "Death, be not proud" and "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," which are in our textbook, and two other of Donne's Holy Sonnets, Sonnet 6, and Sonnet 9, which are not in our textbook. See below.
Here's Sonnet 6:
This is my play's last scene; here heavens appoint
My pilgrimage's last mile; and my race,
Idly, yet quickly run, hath this last pace,
My span's last inch, my minute's latest point;
And gluttonous death will instantly unjoint
My body and my soul, and I shall sleep a space;
But my'ever-waking part shall see that face
Whose fear already shakes my every joint.
Then, as my soul to'heaven, her first seat, takes flight,
And earth-born body in the earth shall dwell,
So fall my sins, that all may have their right,
To where they'are bred, and would press me, to hell.
Impute me righteous, thus purg'd of evil,
For thus I leave the world, the flesh, the devil.
Here's Sonnet 9:
If poysonous mineralls, and if that tree,
Whose fruit threw death on else immortall us,
If lecherous goats, if serpents envious
Cannot be damn'd; Alas, why should I be?
Why should intent or reason, borne in me,
Make sinnes, else equall, in mee more heinous?
And mercy being easie, and glorious
To God; in his sterne wrath, why threatens hee?
But who am I, that dare dispute with thee
O God? Oh! of thine onely worthy blood,
And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
And drowne in it my sinnes blacke memorie;
That thou remember them, some claime as debt,
I thinke it mercy, if thou wilt forget.

Gateways to the River Don
Three new access gateways to the River Don Corridor are to be created, mixing art with landscape architecture, as part of a new project to further improve access to and perceptions of the area.
Aberdeen City Council has appointed land artist Jim Buchanan and landscape architect Duncan McLean of Land Use Consultants to work with the community to help design the gateways, reflecting the character and culture of the area.
While helping to improve access and amenity of the River Don Corridor, the new access gateways will also help to raise the profile and quality of the area as a destination for recreation, sport and education.
Jim is consulting with individuals and groups who have an interest in the river and its immediate environment to develop a proposed logo and slogan for the River Don Corridor, and initial design concepts for the gateways. He will also work with groups to deliver three public events celebrating aspects of land, water, and the river's journey from source to sea.
The final gateway designs will be developed using Duncan's technical expertise.
The River Don Gateways project is a legacy from the recently-completed EU-funded Sustainable Urban Fringes (SURF) Project, which aimed to develop better planning and management of the River Don Corridor, and included a long-term planning framework for the area. Objectives of the framework included improving access and perceptions of the Corridor and including communities in the processes. The Gateways project aims to help deliver on these objectives.
Both projects were initiated and led by Aberdeen City Council, with input from a variety of stakeholders.
Jim is an artist with more than 20 years experience in public art projects, bringing a commitment to engaging local people in celebrating and shaping improvements to special places. He is looking forward to exploring the River Don Corridor and would be delighted to hear from potential guides particularly if it involves walking, running, bike riding, hearing local stories, kayaking, fishing or photography.

Casting director Bernard Telsey has two pieces of advice for actors who are auditioning for him.
"Be the most prepared you can possibly be…and know what you're auditioning for," Telsey told an intimate gathering on Monday night at an event hosted by the Drama League. Telsey, who runs the New York-based casting agency Telsey + Co, advised actors to be confident and come into the audition room with a take on the role, even if it's just a three-line part, which he said are the most difficult to cast.
"Never underestimate the slight lack of imagination on the person who may be auditioning you," added director Bartlett Sher, who moderated the evening's Q&A.
Sher and Telsey shared a nice rapport at the event, having previously worked together on the 2008 Broadway revival of "South Pacific" at Lincoln Center.
"You act like it's already the fourth day of rehearsal," Telsey said of Sher's work with the actor in an audition room.
"I'm doing diagnostic testing," Sher responded. "Eighty percent of your work is in the casting," he added.
Not all directors work with the actors like Sher does at auditions, and Telsey explained that he likes to let actors know the temperature of the room before entering. Sher also encouraged auditioners not to place too much pressure on one audition, as this sometimes causes actors can talk themselves out of an opportunity.
"Auditioning for actors is another whole art form than acting on stage," Sher added.
Technology was another popular topic of discussion, as Telsey recently cast the upcoming Broadway revival of "Annie" with an open call for video audition submissions for the title role. He also recently launched the Telsey + Co YouTube Project, which allows undiscovered talent to get a foot in the door at one of the city's most prestigious casting agencies.
Anyone can send a three-minute YouTube video to Telsey + Co through a form on their website, and someone in the office watches every video. Videos will be kept private, and actors who are interested in being considered for a particular role in one of the agency's upcoming projects can write the role and project in the video's description field.
Telsey says he is looking for actors with some level of training, as "training is what it's about," but he also made sure to add that he doesn't think any actors coming right out of college are polished. "If someone's good, that's what's most important," he said.
And no matter how hard it is—"Hard is not what we're afraid of," he said—Telsey loves finding the perfect actor for a part. When writers and directors become frustrated after hours of sessions and callbacks with no outcome, Telsey finds a renewed energy.
"To me that's like being high," he said, before adding, "Every audition is like falling in love."

Makro: A worker tells our investigator to put live lobsters into boiling water to cook them
Makro are selling lobsters to be taken
home and often boiled alive
Viva! and Animal Aid have joined forces to try and persuade Makro to end the sale of live animals at the their stores across the UK.
Currently live lobsters and crabs are being sold to whoever wants them; with Makro having no control over how they are killed. Once home most are boiled or hacked apart with knives whilst still alive. It can be a prolonged and excruciating death.
All animals killed for meat will suffer, but selling live animals promotes even greater suffering.
Please contact Makro and politely ask them to stop.

Cook Medical is touting a recent study that compares its Zilver Biliary Stent to the most commonly used device, the Wallstent from Boston Scientific. Essentially, the conclusion of the international multi-center study, published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is that the two stents have very similar performance characteristics.
The MOZART study included a total of 241 patients in nine centers in the U.S., Canada and Europe with malignant biliary obstructions – a complication associated with several forms of cancers in which the bile ducts of the liver become blocked by tumors. Although plastic stents are cheaper than metal for this purpose, data suggests that plastic stents occlude more readily when compared to SEMS, necessitating repeat procedures.
The two biliary stents in the MOZART study differ significantly in design, materials and mechanism of expansion, but achieved equal patency by several measures. In usage of both stents fewer than a quarter became occluded after placement over the life of the study. Treating physicians, who had more experience with Boston Scientific's stent, reported positioning the Zilver was not difficult.
Cook Medical's Zilver Biliary Stent is made of flexible laser-cut nitinol tubing, which is inherently kink-resistant and allows for conforming to the ductal wall while providing reliable patency. Additionally, the interlocking design construction means the stent's ends are atraumatic – potentially reducing the risk of ulceration or perforation. Four gold radiopaque markers at each end of the stent also provide added fluoroscopic visualization that can aid in more accurate placements.

It think the problem is binding a HyperiLnk field to ImageField.
When I tried binding HyperLink Field to Template field it worked. And when I bind TextFiled giving the url of image to Imagefield it also worked . But when I bind Hyperlink Filed to Image field it didn't work.
I suggest to use an image control in a template field to display image as I did. Or change your HyperLInk Field to Text Field.

"Tru Calling" stars "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Bring it On" star Eliza Dushku as med student Tru Davies, whose graduation from college comes early in the first episode. When the grant she's been given to study after graduation falls apart, she's sent down to the local morgue to work there, instead. Although she's originally disappointed in her creepy new surroundings, it's not long before something happens - one of the bodies wheeled in calls out for her to help them.
So begins the series, as Tru finds herself rewound through time to some point earlier, realizing that she is the only one who can help solve the cases of the "unnaturally" dead. While she's called upon to save the lives of others, she's also got to focus on those closer to her: Harrison (Shawn Reaves), an arrogant brother who finds himself in trouble again and again, and Meredith (Jessica Collins), her sister who has been in rehab and looks like she's falling into drugs.
So, Tru spends each episode running throughout the city to try and change things to prevent something she's been told will happen, but has no details about. The show does have some questionable logic and plot holes at times, but the often rapid pacing makes it easier to get involved with the plot of the hour and overlook any inconsistencies. While the plot holes are often brushed out of the way, there's some twists that occasionally seem obvious and I can't help but wonder how this isn't going to get repetitive after a few seasons. On the other hand, some of the iffy moments from the first half of the season do fall by the wayside as the series goes on, as some of the later episodes are more promising.
However, the series does certainly have a bright spot in the pouty, gorgeous Dushku, who offers some of her best work here - she's really the reason why the show works as well as it does. The underrated actress pulls off the emotional and dramatic moments of the series quite capably, and, given the fact that she has to be in the majority of the scenes, she does the job of carrying the show quite well. She also gives it all a little sass and edge that elevates the performance a bit more. Jason Priestley also turns up later in the season as Tru's mysterious co-worker, Jack, who may want to see Tru stop her work. Priestley's menacing performance is pretty solid, and certainly one of the actor's best. Shawn Reaves and Zach Galifianakis as Tru's brother and boss are also good, and add touches of humor to the show. "Tru Calling" has some moments that don't work and so-so episodes, but by the last half or so, it seems to have gotten its rhythm together.
Despite the fact that the series started to get in gear in the second half of the first season, it was unfortunately cancelled early in the second season (which didn't seem like it was going to happen to begin with), after the ratings didn't improve. The decision was certainly dismaying to the show's fans, as "Calling" had gathered a fairly sizable cult following.
The second season opens a little after the prior season had left off, as Tru knows she has not seen the last of Jack (Priestley), who makes a return after disappearing at the end of last season and is even more fiercely against Tru's continued quest. The dynamic between the two characters was one of the reasons the show began to click as well as it did in the first season, and that continues here, as well. Tru's estranged father, who has his own intentions, has also moved back into town, acting like he wants to start over with Tru and her brother. Due to some pulled strings, Tru also finds her way into medical school.
The second season only offered a very brief five episodes before being pulled. This DVD set boasts six episodes, as one additional, unaired episode is offered. Once again, the season continues to improve over the early goings, racheting up the tension between Jack and Tru, which is effective due to the chemistry between the two and the fact that Priestley's menacing performance is his finest work. It's really too bad that the series couldn't have at least finished out this second season, as it continued to improve and the final episode here really isn't much of a conclusion.

The DVD
VIDEO:"Tru Calling" is presented by Fox in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality is usually very good, although there's some minor concerns present throughout the presentations. Sharpness and detail are usually fine, as the image mostly looked crisp and well-defined. Some scenes are a tad soft and shadow detail is a little lacking, but the majority of the series looked fine.
Aside from the slightly uneven sharpness, the other concern was some minor traces of pixelation. The elements used looked perfectly fine: there weren't any instances of specks or marks that I spotted, but there were passages where grain was visible (although that may be an intentional element of the photography). No edge enhancement or shimmering was seen.
The show's color palette is often subdued and rather cold, but warmer, brighter colors occasionally peek through. Colors look accurate and natural throughout, with no smearing or other faults.
SOUND: "Tru Calling" is presented in Dolby 2.0 by Fox. The show's musical score has a nice spread across the front speakers and dialogue remains crisp and clear. It's a bit unfortunate that the show's audio wasn't redone in 5.1 though - some of the creepier moments would have certainly gotten some benefits from a full 5.1 track.
EXTRAS: Just a very brief promotional featurette.
Final Thoughts: "Tru Calling" started working very well in the second half of the first season, and this second season sees the show continuing to improve, so it's disappointing that the second and final season only lasted a few episodes. Fox's DVD set offers fine audio/video quality and nothing much in the way of supplements. Still, recommended for fans.

The Urban Politico asks a question likely to get people fired up. Check out an excerpt of their staff weighing in below
The Janitor's 2 Cents:
I don't think that the Gay struggle should be compared to Black struggle, but probably not for reasons that you might think. I understand the attraction of wanting to use the Black struggle as an historic example of legal precedent standing for equality. As a lawyer, I get that. However, I don't think that's a smart strategy for Gay rights. In other words, advocates shouldn't say Gays have the right to marry today just because Blacks got the right to marry back in the 60's. One argument should not be dependent upon the other. If that's the case, then, for the sake of argument, if Black's were ever to lose the right to marry, Gays would then also lose the right to marry. Instead, Gays should have the right to marry because if a particular state denies them that right, that state is not following the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. Period. No matter who does or does not have the right to get married in that state. Another reason why it's not good strategy to base the argument for Gay rights on the Black civil rights movement is because the Black community is still largely beholden to the Black church, and I don't have to tell you where the Black church stands on the concept of Gay marriage. (see California's Prop 08) And lastly, when arguing before a court, there are still too many differences between (A) Black people and (B) human sexuality that can be used to distinguish, and therefore, defeat the argument for Gay rights if you try to equate the two. So in other words, I don't think that the Gay struggle should be compared to the Black struggle because it doesn't need to be in order to be victorious.

Persecuted for loving their child too much!
News of the King Family continues to dominate in Europe and especially in the United Kingdom. I have followed it with keen interest since it first broke. As a South African British national, I feel compelled to give my two cents worth from the other side of the world and to make you, the discerning reader aware of the media bias that surrounds this story.
Brett and Naghemeh King were only doing what they felt was in the best interests of their child, five year old Ashya King. Having just been operated (7 days prior) for Stage four cancer in the form of a brain tumour, the Doctors had concluded that there was nothing else they could do. It was the Doctors' suggestion that the young man be given radiotherapy and chemotherapy. At such a young age, the chances of him being brain damaged even further, losing his ability to see, talk and feed himself, was a reality. Faced with this disheartening news, the King family sought to research other less aggressive medical options that might be available for their son. Having narrowed this down to a treatment called Proton Beam Therapy (PBT), they requested this from the Doctors at the Hospital where Ashya was being treated. PBT in a nutshell, is a form of radiotherapy that simply targets the actual position of the tumour allowing the surrounding tissue to be left undamaged. The overall result being fewer harmful side effects and more direct impact on the actual tumour. The patient feels nothing during treatment. Side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea are minimised. Generally, the patient experiences a better quality of life during and after proton treatment. There are various cases within the UK of children with brain cancer who have had this treatment - one such case was of a 3 year old boy who now lives a normal, happy life. An argument between Consultants and Parents ensued with the Doctors suggesting that PBT would make little, if any difference to their boy.
Now if you are a Parent (or non-Parent) reading this, what would your reaction be? Having just done the research on PBT, would you simply agree to the Doctors' recommendation of a treatment that could cause your child to end up in a vegetable-like state OR would you aim to do the best for your child? The NHS (free) hospital in the United Kingdom have previously permitted other children to be sent overseas in order to have this treatment (administered and paid for by the NHS). Treatment costs in the region of approximately R1 million. The Kings did not have this money lying around so they decided to sell one of their Properties in Spain in order to fund the treatment on a private basis at a hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. When they mentioned this to the Consultants, they were threatened with Court intervention that would prevent them essentially from having any say in their child's treatment.
Again, I ask you as a Parent (or non-Parent) reading this, what would your reaction be? The treatment is available, you are willing to sell your material possessions to make sure your child gets PBT (even if the outcome might not be successful). What's R1 million on a child's life when there's a chance he will live AND when you have the funds available? So like any other loving Parent, Brett King decided to remove his son from the Hospital and to take him to the Continent for alternative treatment that he was willing to pay for. But this was no rash decision. He ensured that all the food the young man needed (which he was being fed through tubes) was available, that a charger attached to the car so that the feeding mechanism could work was bought, he did all the research possible (barely surviving on almost no sleep), took his six other children and his wife and they set off for Spain. This is where he was due to sign papers for the sale of his property which would finance his son's medical expenses.
Six hours had passed before the Hospital had notified the Police. They claimed that this terminally ill child who needed "round the clock" care was kidnapped by his Parents and that his life was in danger, that it could be fatal if he was not found within 24 hours (during which time the battery on his feeding tube would have run out). Then began the massive manhunt for the King family. Interpol was alerted, the Court awarded the UK Police with a European Warrant of Arrest for the Parents (admitting however that they did not have any legitimate charges to bring against the Kings) and claiming that there were looking out for the best interests of the child.
In the interim, Brett King had posted a video on YouTube showing that the young man was happier than he had been in hospital, that he was being cared for, showered with love and doing well. Not long after, the Parents were arrested, handcuffed, treated like hardened criminals by the Spanish Police and taken into custody, on the basis of "cruelty" to their child. The child was taken off them, put into a Spanish hospital under Police Guard where neither Parents nor siblings are allowed to visit him! And this would be in the best interest of the child? The Kings in the meantime were treated as vicious criminals for simply loving their child too much – for refusing to accept that there was nothing else that Doctors could do for their child, for giving up their material possessions to ensure that he had access to the best treatment available. For this, they were, are and continue to be persecuted.
On Friday last week, Ashya became the ward of the Court. In essence this means that the Court can decide what medical treatment the little boy will be given. Is this setting a precedent for the treatment of children in future? Do Parents no longer have the right to decide what's best for their children? Since when does a supposedly civilized society such as the one in the UK behave in such a barbaric manner? The Parents are separated from their dying child by circa 550 kilometres (that's almost the distance from Durban to Johannesburg) held in Police Custody. Who is being cruel now? How can it possibly be "in the best interests of the child" that a 5 year old dying of cancer cannot hold his mommy's hand at night. Naghemeh slept in the Hospital alongside her son during his darkest, most sick moments. Is that indicative of a Parent who neglects and is cruel to their child? Even as adults when we are unwell, almost always our first thoughts are "I want my mommy." How much more so does this young man dying of cancer need his mommy next to him?
MPs in the UK have openly admitted that it is in the best interest of this child to be reunited with his family but they have been slow to do anything about this. It is now more than 48 hours since they have seen their dying son. Just this morning, Nick Clegg (deputy Prime Minister) said "Throwing the full force of the law at two parents who in a state of despair and anguish are acting they say because that's what they think is best for their child, doesn't seem to me to be the appropriate thing to do." The British public who have had access to both sides of the story have seen the farce that this truly is. At the very core of this story lies the egos of Consultants who will not admit to lying, the egos of the Police Officers in the UK who will stand by their inhumane treatment of the King family, the egos of Spanish Police who think that they're doing their UK counterparts a personal favour. I watch and follow the news with utter disgust and contempt for these egotistical, cruel, unkind and arrogant people who think they are some kind of demi-gods!
Every Parent has the right to choose what medical intervention they will accept for their child. It is Naghemeh who carried Ashya for nine months, not the Doctors, neither their cronies in Parliament nor the Police Force. When the news broke out, the media was quick to mention that this was a Jehovah's Witness family. I found this especially bizarre because when reporting on a murderers, hard-core criminals, abusive Parents, etc., their religion is never mentioned. I have yet to read a news item on a criminal that mentions he is Hindu, Baptist, Jewish or any other faith. Talk about media bias! The media have since backed off mentioning their religion once it was pointed out to them (and rightly so) that their treatment options had absolutely nothing to do with their religion. The operation on the tumour had already been done according to the advice given by the Consultants. Neither radiotherapy/chemotherapy nor PBT has anything to do with the religious convictions of the Parents. Subsequent news reports highlight just how loving, close-knit and well-mannered this family is.
There is currently a petition signed by circa 20,000 people (mostly British) requesting the release of Brett & Naghemeh King from Spanish Prison, that they be reunited with their family and that their son be given the treatment he needs in Prague. We wait anxiously to see what, if anything will be done before the end of today.
Many lessons emerge from this but I would like to hone in on just two of those lessons. Firstly, medical professions do have and will use their power to control the treatment your child receives. Secondly, the power of Social Media in highlighting the plight of the King family has been incredible. The people have spoken and hopefully they will be heard shortly so that this story can have a happy ending for the King family. They did not break any laws. Their treatment by the Authorities befits hard-core criminals. Yet their crime was simply that they loved their child too much.

LANSING (Detroit Free Press) -- Four female Aramark prison workers at Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility in Ionia were fired today for having inappropriate sexual contact with male inmates inside a walk-in cooler, a Corrections Department official confirmed.
"It's unprecedented that four workers at the same facility, in the same day, are placed on stop order," said Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan. "It's concerning on a number of levels."
RELATED: Kitchen friendships, sex acts lead to firings for Aramark's prison staff
The firings came after officials reviewed recent surveillance video, Marlan said. Two of the kitchen workers were at work today and were escorted out. Two others were fired and not allowed into the prison when they showed up for work, he said.
The firings also mean more than 80 Aramark workers have now been banned from prison property for various infractions since the company took over on Dec. 8, eliminating 370 state jobs.
The conduct involved kissing and sexual touching with several inmates, but no intercourse, Marlan said. The firings reduce Aramark staff at Bellamy from 14 to 10 and help will need to be brought in from elsewhere, Marlan said.
"I don't believe all four of them were in the cooler at the same time," Marlan said.
It's the latest in a litany of problems for Aramark Correctional Services since the Philadelphia-based company took over food services from state workers in December.
RELATED: Prison food supplier has Michigan officials at wit's end
Officials have fined Aramark $98,000 over meal shortages and menu substitutions and began strict enforcement of the meal portion and substitution clauses of the contract on July 1. There have also been problems with food quality, security issues, Aramark workers smuggling in contraband and getting too friendly with inmates, and growing prisoner unrest.
The Free Press detailed problems on Sunday after receiving thousands of pages of records related to the three-year, $145-million Aramark contract under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act. Those records disclosed a range of problems, including an earlier incident in which an Aramark worker and an inmate were discovered engaged in a sex act in a walk-in cooler at Carson City Correctional Facility.
Marlan said criminal charges are possible against the Aramark workers in the latest incident. Federal law treats any sexual contact between prison staff and inmates as abuse, and officials are investigating, Marlan said.

Currently only resolving winpc and ld works, resolving full domain names doesn't do anything, they resolve to their public IP addresses.
I had to use commas instead if (AT) in place of the at symbol when posting too cause of my post limit.
Does anyone know why, and how to fix?

OK, the first question I have is the ORIGIN line. Is your domain really home.mydomain.com or mydomain.com?
To easily answer this question we will use one of your DNS records that works. Which is right;
winpc.home.mydomain.com or winpc.mydomain.com?
Either way I would suggest you change the records in your zone file and remove the domain from them that way they all resolve the same way.

The goal of Acadian's research effort is to continually improve our forecasting frameworks and portfolio performance. Acadian believes that investment success depends on our ability to be adaptive over time. In keeping with this belief, our research team is focused on identifying new drivers of return and developing enhancements to the overall investment process. We believe in a diversified and scientific approach to innovation, and pursue a wide range of ideas in the effort to uncover, refine, and adopt, enhancements to our investment process.
Acadian's research team is led by our Chief Investment Officer, John Chisholm, as well as Research Consultant Malcolm Baker, and Director of Stock Selection Research Wes Chan. The research team consists of a diverse group of subject matter experts, analysts, portfolio managers, data specialists and systems programmers.
The team is organized into teams consisting of senior and junior researchers that pursue research projects over a period ranging from several weeks to several months. Our CIO, in conjunction with senior investment team members, regularly reviews project progress via updates, research presentations and Investment Policy Committee (IPC) discussions.
Acadian has a long history of research and innovation, testing over 700 unique indicators, 30 individual frameworks and numerous prospective enhancements to the firm's investment process over the past 30 years. Our unwavering commitment to a deliberate, grounded research approach has allowed us to remain committed to our philosophical underpinnings while continually enhancing our investment process. Through various market cycles of the past two and a half decades, Acadian's rigorous research has been focused on improving long-term results, not chasing short-term fads, and has continually introduced enhancements we feel are most likely to add value to clients. We are proud of our track record - having been a first mover in quantitative investing in a number of areas including emerging markets, small cap stocks, and managed volatility strategies.
Historically, many of our research ideas have come as a result of ongoing communication with clients as we seek to provide custom and innovative solutions to their needs. We deeply value the collaborative nature of our client relationships and rely upon client input to help set the direction of our new strategy development.
The goal of Acadian's research process is to improve the expected performance of client portfolios through return enhancement, risk control and cost effective implementation and overall process enhancement. We prefer research projects that will have the widest possible benefit across all strategies, and also prefer economy and simplicity wherever possible in the research process.
We aim for consistency in our approach to forecasting and portfolio construction to increase transparency, to reduce the danger of data mining and to apply enhancements throughout our process. Acadian also believes that the best research is achieved in an open, collaborative environment where all team members can provide feedback and comment on new research. We believe the result is the potential for better research, and reduced risks of errors and omissions.

Since speaking to SFR two weeks ago about his intentions to sue the New Mexico Department of Health for violating the state's Whistleblower Protection Act, Bob Ortiz has gotten a lot of press.
The most recent came yesterday when KRQE-TV ran a story about Ortiz' lawsuit, which he officially filed on July 6 (read his full complaint below). The lawsuit alleges that Ortiz, who used to manage large contracts for DOH, was a victim of retaliation for speaking to SFR over the past two years.
Ortiz first spoke to SFR in January 2011 about being instructed from his superiors to commit a $1.7 million fraudulent transaction in the federal Women, Infants and Children program, which provides food and nutrition service to low-income women and children. Since then, Ortiz was stripped of his job duties, put on paid administrative leave for six months and ultimately fired last month. His termination notice cites "irresponsible communication with the media" and cites four SFR news stories.
Along with yesterday's TV news report, KRQE also ran an online version of Ortiz' story with updated material. Part of that includes a statement from an unnamed male spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez saying "he did not recall Ortiz contacting the governor about the issue."
That prompted Ortiz, who filed a formal complaint to the governor's Chief Counsel Jessica Hernandez on Jan. 21, 2011, to request a correction from Martinez spokesman Scott Darnell today. In an email to Darnell (which he cc'ed SFR and other media organizations on), Ortiz attached the original complaint and asked Darnell to "set the record straight" with KRQE.
"I was dismayed," Ortiz, referring to the statement, tells SFR. "It's a flat out lie."
Ortiz, who had volunteered for Martinez' gubernatorial campaign in 2010, titled his Jan. 21, 2011 email to the governor's office "Reporting Fraud at DOH."
"This is a formal request for the Governor to open an investigation into my August 10, 2009 allegation of fraud in the WIC program at DOH," his email reads. "Up until the week of August 10, 2009 I was the DOH ASD Deputy Director Budgets and Grants until I reported the fraud to then Secretary Vigil and was subsequently threatened by the Acting ASD Director."
That same day, Hernandez replied to Ortiz noting that she was forwarding his concerns onto Chief of Staff Keith Gardner and Deputy Chief of Staff Brian Moore.
"I appreciate you bringing this to our attention," Hernandez wrote back to Ortiz.
SFR left a voicemail and sent an email to the governor's office and will update this post when/if we hear back from them.

Sulk, Volume 2
Sulk, Volume 2
Jeffrey Brown is well-known for his autobiographical works (mostly dealing with his girlfriends) like Little Things. His newest little thing is his anthology series Sulk for Top Shelf. In these, Brown gets to let loose with fiction and have some fun.
Each issue gives Brown the opportunity to stretch his talents in several short stories. He wonders around thematically, taking on whatever strikes his fancy and injecting it with his own humor. The results are entertaining if you're into the things Brown is into. And if you grew up reading comics, chances are fairly good that you enjoy similar things.
The first issue is a giant take on superhero comics battles with a commix-style twist. The protagonist, a hero named Bighead, fights evil and monsters while spouting such lines as, "Your boss tried to bend the rules of reality, Generic Thug, but he failed, for it is change and surprise that are the true authors of our lives."
The second volume is a giant ode to mixed martial arts. The bloody battle two shirtless men engage in on the cover is pretty much all you need to know going in, although if you've ever watched an ultimate fighting contest (and liked it), even better.
The third volume, not out yet but previewed at the end of volume 2, promises to deal with "The Kind of Strength That Comes with Madness!" (That would be robots, pirates, elves, monsters, and other assorted baddies.) Brown has said the Sulk series will continue quarterly, which is a treat to look forward to. These small, digest-sized books are a nice little slice of Brown's gift for jovial comics satire.

Caught this guy out this morning. What a beautiful blue he is!
What am I?
We call those Damselflies around here. They are pretty, aren't they?
Or she?
I wondered if that's what Damselflies were. I have seen several of them. I love all my little critters! I'm planning on researching how to attract more dragonflies, so I'll add damselflies to that list.
WOW look at those blue eyes! Very pretty! :-)
I thought it was a dragonfly. Are damsel flies close relatives, or is it another name for dragonfly?
That is a beautiful insect and such a wonderful picture. I'm finally learning how to take closeups.
OH we had those last year and they are just starting to show up again. It is weird because when I water at night there is a blue one that I swear is following me! I love all the different colors.
Dragonflies and Damselflies are close relatives, together making up the order Odonata. Dragonflies are mostly bigger with large eyes that touch or very nearly, while damselflies have smaller eyese quite well spread apart. In addition, most damselflies perch with their wings laid back along their bodies, while dragonflies all perch with their wings still spread at right angles to the body. You can see both of these features clearly in Konkreteblond's beautiful picture.
Some days I luck out and get that macro working right. I was so glad this picture came out so well! I just love his blue eyes too.
Kauai17, I was foliar feeding tonight and noticed a damselfly that I hadn't seen before. I wonder if spraying water attracts them? I'll pay attention in the future.
Where I am in Fort Lauderdale, the dragonflies appear when the mosquitoes appear. This is usually a day or so after heavy rains.
Thanks Kennedyh. I'm glad you made the differences clear. They are both beautiful and I enjoy seeing dragonflies around our ponds.
Here every morning the Mosquitoes go away when the Dragonflies emerge. The DF must dry their dew soaked wings before they can go on Mosquitoe hunts.
Since this thread is a "what am I", I have one for you. I'm in NJ)
It's about 2 1/2 inch wing spread. The top surface is a veltvety black for about 2 inches, then a trailing edge of two shades of blue circles then white.
The reverse is the same velvety black, with interspersed dark red (or brown) cicles, connected by the same color lines..
It's beautiful -- but I didn't have my camera.
flyboy, I really don't know. Did it have tails like a Swallowtail? I'm not sure what they have where you are. Here are some guesses:
Maybe a Red-spotted Purple?
I think a Spicebush is very dark, looking black with bluish white looking "circles". http://www.rlephoto.com/butterflies/swallowtail_sb01.html
Or it could be a Pipevine if it's really dark blue. http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/pipevine_swallowtail.htm
Or maybe a Mourning Cloak? Not sure if you meant the bottom was white or spots.
You've got it, by gosh you've got it
And it was your first guess. The red-spotted purple.
You know, I'm starting to watch these flutterbyes. With all my new red blossoms, he/she was sipping a drop of water.
Verrrry eeenteresting !!
Thank you.
Lucky you guys, here in West San Fernando Valley (los angeles) I dont get many butterflies,,unless you count those horn worm butterlfies (ARGGH) "swat"!!
Ihave lots of flowers etc....some good ones early spring
Lots of hummingbirds though
If you're not with the one you love, love the one you're with.
Konkrete Blond:
I think your Damselfly may be a Purple Bluet. There are thousands of varieties of Damselfly and they are a lot harder to distinguish from each other than Dragonflies (which are much harder to identify than Butterflies), IMHO. We have the same (or a VERY similar) creature here and a biologist friend of mine tentatively identified it (as I have) as "possibly a Purple Bluet."
Thanks Ed! I just love this little guy (or gal). I imagine that IDing these and Dragonflies is much harder than butterflies. They are much harder to see!
Seeing them isn't the hardest part. The Males look quite different from the females (in one case that I know of, with Dragonflies, the female is golden and the male is pink). Besides that, the adolescents look much different from the adults. In some cases you would have to catch them and examine them under magnification to make an ID.
But Skippers are difficult to ID also--someone told me that there are Skippers which can't be distinguished from their fellows without examining them INTERNALLY, if you can beleive that.
KKB, I found a great nature photographer, Tom Murray, on line. He has lots of galleries of a wide variety of nature photos. He has varied interests and a wide range of locations, including Texas and Mexico. There are several galleries of damselfiles and dragonflies, including a section devoted to Texas, and of course several for Florida too. Give it a look-see. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74
Thanks Art! Those are some great pictures! I could sit all day looking...
Very cool!
Great link Art!

NBA Lockout: Do the Players Need the NBA?September 28, 2011
When the NBA made a movement for basketball to become a more global game, I don't think this is what it had in mind. With players leaving the States by the dozens, the NBA loses a little leverage at the lockout's negotiating table.
Players of all salaries and skill sets are set to take their careers elsewhere. Kobe Bryant has recently been offered $6.7 million to play for one of his childhood teams in Italy. A shortened contract could pay out to over one million dollars per home game.
Deron Williams got the movement started this summer by accepting to play for Besiktas in Turkey. Kevin Durant is reportedly in the early stages of negotiations with the same team. Both Williams' and Bryant's contracts include an opt-out clause if NBA action resumes, and it can be assumed Durant's would as well.
On the other hand, J.R. Smith and Wilson Chandler, figured to be two of the most sought-after free agents, have both have agreed to play in China without an opt-out clause.
From stars to scrubs, an incredible 58 players have agreed to play overseas. Dozens more are considering the same move. Along with Bryant, Dwyane Wade has explored his options, as have Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Chris Paul. Anthony and Paul have even hinted that China could be a destination, where an opt-out clause would not be included.
In fact, far more players are signed to or considering playing overseas than are not. Most of the players who have committed to the NBA are a mixture of superstars with other sources of income (endorsements), like LeBron James and Chris Bosh, high-profile rookies (Kyrie Irving, Jimmer Fredette) and veterans near the end of the line (Brad Miller, Jeff Foster) that have little to gain by playing elsewhere. Then again, there was a time when it seemed LeBron James would stay in Cleveland for his hole career. Things change.
Outside of the European and Asian exodus, many of the NBA's biggest stars are taking part in pseudo All-Star games and street ball. When Kevin Durant dropped 66 points at Rucker Park, he cemented himself in street ball lore with the likes of Earl "the Pearl" Monroe. Bryant, Durant, and John Wall have all made memorable appearances in the Drew League, out of Los Angeles.
Now, James, Bosh and Wade are said to be hosting a lockout All-Star game. The event will include Paul, Anthony, Durant, Wall, Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook. The event can only be seen as a win-win for the players. They get to show the fans they are not all about the money, while simultaneously showing the owners, "we don't need you, the fans will follow us anywhere." Plus, all proceeds go to charity, so they are generating some serious public relations good will.
This is not like the NFL lockout, where the issues were relatively minor and the players had no other options. The NBA lockout is much more complex. Owners are reporting hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. To make matters worse, there is a discrepancy in what the players' association believes the owner have lost, also ranging in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Unlike the last lockout in 1998, the owners have lost their most powerful bargaining chip: being the only game in town. Players ran out of money alarmingly fast and needed the NBA.
The good new is, if you love basketball for basketball and just want to see your favorite players play, you likely will be able to do that in some capacity.
The bad news: Those who love the every-night, prime-time pace of the NBA could be without it much longer than last time.
Sit back, enjoy the NFL season and hope the lockout ends before the Super Bowl. If not, we the fans may have to take matters into our own hands.

We're busy getting some exclusive coverage of The Walking Dead and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D at the New York Comic Con. Unfortunately, the internet is not being as helpful as we'd like, but we will be posting brief news updates throughout the day. We previously reported that a sequel to The Woman in Black was moving forward and it looks like a director has been chosen.
According to Screen Daily, Tom Harper (The Scouting Book for Boys, Misfits) has been hired for the sequel, titled The Woman in Black: Angel of Death. The movie is expected to begin filming in spring 2013 and will revolve around a young female nurse during World War II:
"Seized by the government and converted into a military mental hospital during World War II, the sudden arrival of disturbed soldiers to Eel Marsh Harsh has awoken its darkest inhabitant. Eve, a beautiful young nurse, is sent to the house to care for the patients but soon realizes she must save them from more than their own demons. Despite Eve's efforts to stop her, one by one they fall victim to the Woman in Black."
Jon Croker was hired to write the screenplay and was said to be working with The Woman in Black author Susan Hill on the story. With shooting expected early next year, we should have casting news in the near future.
