A 27-year-old man was killed and a 14-year-old boy was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting Monday night, Lakeland police said.
LAKELAND | A 27-year-old man was killed and a 14-year-old boy was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting Monday night, Lakeland police said.
Myron K. Carr, 27, died of his injuries Tuesday afternoon at Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
He and his 14-year-old cousin, Brandon K. Johnson, were among a group of about 15 people standing outside an apartment complex in the 500 block of South Oregon Avenue in Lakeland about 11:30 p.m. Monday when someone fired into the group.
Brandon was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital in serious condition but had improved enough that he was released from the hospital Tuesday evening.
Residents of the complex described a terrifying scene.
About 15 people, some adults and some children, were socializing in and around the middle of Oregon Avenue, said Salena Turner, who lives at 502 Oregon Ave. She had just arrived home from the store and was still in her uncle's car at 11:30 p.m.
"We were all out there having fun," she said.
Witnesses described the street at the time as "pitch black."
"You couldn't really see nothing," one added.
A dark-colored car came from Wayman Street and headed north on Oregon Avenue, Turner said. It slowed and turned off its lights before reaching the group. The windows rolled down in the darkness and shots rang out.
"It was so loud and it looked like the gun was on fire," Turner said. "Everybody ducked to the ground. Everyone hit the ground but (Carr)."
Carr was hit first in the leg, and then as he reached down to check the wound, he was shot in the head, Turner said.
She said at least six or seven shots were fired from the car.
Although Lakeland police officials declined to release information detailing the victims' injuries, Devon McIntyre, 18, who said he is Brandon's brother and Carr's cousin, told of Carr's injuries. He said Carr was shot twice in the head, once in the leg, and once in the foot.
Brandon was attempting to run from the car when he was hit, McIntyre said.
McIntyre wasn't outside when the shooting happened, but he lives in the complex.
"My mom woke me up last night," he said. "I just saw the aftermath."
Another family member, who did not want her name published, said the boy was shot in the back of his hip and suffered entrance and exit wounds from the bullet.
Carr was the father of three children and lived at 506 Oregon Ave., according to McIntyre.
"(Carr) did not deserve to die. He didn't do nothing. He just stayed home with his kids," Turner said.
"It looked like they were shooting for someone specific," Turner said.
LPD spokesman Eric Harper said detectives don't think the shooting is related to the string of drive-bys that happened earlier this summer about three miles from Oregon Avenue.
The shooting is at least the eighth drive-by shooting in Lakeland since the beginning of July.
The other shootings occurred in a neighborhood near Kathleen Road in northwest Lakeland, and police say several were gang-related.
500 Oregon Avenue is in west Lakeland, near Westside Park.
LPD is investigating whether it was gang-related.
No suspects have been arrested, and LPD is still looking to speak with witnesses.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call LPD at 863-834-6900.

Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday gave new details about his proposed $18.84 billion education budget.
The proposal includes a $542 million boost to K-12 funding.
Some of the boost -- about $54 million -- is needed because 12,529 new students are expected to enroll in Florida schools. But the proposal would also push Florida's average per-student funding to $6,949, an increase of $169 over the current level.
(Per-pupil spending would still fall short of the record high: $7,126 in 2007-08.)
Democrats were critical of the plan Wednesday, in part because two-thirds of the overall increase would be funded by property taxes. Scott has not recommended increasing the millage rate local school districts must levy, but property values are expected to rise, meaning tax collection will also increase.
Only about $167 million of the proposed boost would come from state funding.
"After cutting education by more than $1 billion in his first year of office, this year's spending plan appears to be another education shell game that relies on property tax increases," House Minority Leader Perry Thurston said in a statement.
But Senate President Don Gaetz, a former Okaloosa County schools superintendent, said school districts would not differentiate between the two sources of funding.
"All of the dollars matter," he said.
The details of Scott's proposal for facilities funding also came under fire.
Scott has recommended $81.3 million in funding for charter school maintenance from the Public Education Capital Outlay, or PECO, fund.
The governor proposed using $80 million in lottery funds to support maintenance in traditional public schools, and $72.1 million to support projects in seven small school districts.
Sen. Dwight Bullard, D-Miami, said he was disappointed that no PECO dollars had been earmarked for traditional public schools.
"Let the governor explain to the children in crumbling public schools across Florida why they don't count, too," he said.

MediaPortal & soft-subs
If you are not familiar with it: MediaPortal is a nice replacement for the Media Center software that comes included with Windows MCE and Windows Vista (afaik). Since it's open-source, it has better support for open-source video formats. While I bought a PC with Windows MCE for the Media Center application, I quickly switched to MediaPortal as MC kept crashing on files other than AVI (MKV, MP4 etc) on me.
Anyway, up until now I had enabled soft-subtitles by enabling "Auto load VSFilter" in the Haali Media Splitter (included with CCCP) settings. Unfortunately since version 0.2.3 RC2 this no longer worked, so I quickly downgraded again. However I figured more people would be using MP for anime and have this problem, so I dug futher.
Here is how to enable selectable soft-subtitles in MediaPortal
1) Install CCCP. But most of you probably have it already anyway.
2) Install latest (reasonbly stable) version of MediaPortal. I use 0.2.3 RC2
Note that you don't need Windows MCE or Vista. XP Home/Pro will work too! Drivers for the MCE remote only come with MCE & Vista though, so you'll need to get another kind of remote (which isn't required, but recommended)
3) In the MediaPortal Configuration, do:
a) Enable subtitles and set language to English in Movies (main) -> Subtitles tab:
b) Select Movies -> Movies Post Processing, then add DirectVobSub (auto-loading version) by double-clicking on it in the list and ticking the box.
c) Then select the filter and click Filter properties and in the General tab make sure it is set to Always load under Loading.
4) Don't forget to set all other settings in MediaPortal, like enabling your remote if you have one, and specifying your movie folders in the similarly named section.
And finally... just sit back and relax your fansubs. Subtitles should automatically load when you play files with soft-subtitles in MediaPortal.
Use the Yellow buton (on MCE remote) or Context menu (open with "F9" key) to choose between different subtitles and/or turning subtitles off. You can also switch audio channels with the "A" key or Green button, but of course most fansubs have only one audio track anyway.
If you have a LCD TV with VGA or DVI input, this is (IMHO) the best way to watch anime on your TV.
In case you need more convincing, here are some screens of MediaPortal in action:
(MediaPortal is running windowed in these screens, but of course you normally run it full screen, also the skin is completely customizable in case you don't like the default MC imitation skin)
Select a file to play with your MCE (or other) remote (or keyboard)...
Context menu. Hmm... I just noticed it has support for MKV chapters too!
(Audio option is missing as this file, like most fansubs, only has one audio track anyway)
Which subtitle do you want? (A bit pointless in this case, but what if the subs were in multiple languages)
And now for THE feature I like the MOST (apart from the videos playing properly unlike MediaCenter): MediaPortal can remember where you left off! Not shown in the first screen above is that episodes you've already watched are displayed in a darker shade. So it's easy to watch a bunch of episodes without having to figure out which one you viewed last.
I should note that this "remember last time" option stops working if you move the video to another folder, hence why all HnG episodes are in white instead of a darker shade: I usually watch first (from my BT download folder) and then organize them (into the HnG folder).
Anyway... I hope I converted a few more people to MediaPortal with this tutorial

Well... when I tried to connect my MCE remote to my sister's PC (with XP home) I couldn't get it to work, because XP Home didn't recognize it. The drivers appear to be included with MCE only. Of course if you can somehow get the MCE remote to work on XP Home/Pro, then you can ignore that bit of my guide.

It may be just me. I was happy that there is something that allows me to play my video files with the MCE remote on monitor. I tried this but... first of all, once it is on fullscreen mode, I can't minimize it again. If I do, I don't see the picture. I only hear the sound. There is still this icon on task bar but clicking it isn't working. I mean the screen looks desktop, not the movie but you can hear the sound. Also, there is no control bar on full screen mode. I didn't select that option when I set it up but the control buttons just don't show up on full screen mode.
Second, it is really lagging, especially after this exchange between fullscreen and normal mode.
Oh, the MCE remote works with Vista. I just notice that after it is in full screen mode, only the remote can control it.
I don't know. Maybe I am not used to it?

Interesting, I think we've had quite a few people on the CCCP forums ask about MediaPortal not working. But after the usual had no useful tips to give them .
Only slightly bad things about this would be is that VSFilter is always loaded with all videos, and VSFilter is known to magically slowdown processing speed even if there are no subs. Otherwise, hurrah for more workingness. Interesting that you say MC crashed on MKV/MP4... my initial testing showed it should be working at least. Evul microsoft.

- Like most video players, you can switch back to windowed mode with Alt+Enter. Alternatively if you move the mouse to the top of the screen, you should see extra buttons too.
- MP might have it's slow moments... but overall I don't notice much slowdown. Playback is fine for me.
- Vista Home Premium (and better) comes with Media Center, so it is not surprising the MCE remote works.
- CCCP & MediaPortal not working: in what way? Couldn't it not be that they simply have conflicting codec (packs) installed?
- "VSFilter is always loaded": well you could try playing with the settings. I found these instructions on the MediaPortal forum, and didn't really experiment whether you need to follow all steps. Perhaps it's possible to skip the last step where you set VSFilter to always load. Also... if your PC is simply fast enough a bit of slowing down in processing shouldn't matter.

I am trying again and it does seem better now. It's still slow but it's OK. Still, I don't see the buttons when I watch it in fullscreen mode even when I move the mouse to the top. I am wondering if the setup is wrong. The following is the general set up:
Do you think which one I should change to have the control buttons showed up when I move mouse in full screen mode?

Check out:
I'm not using it for TV recording though, so I can't tell how advanced that part of MediaPortal is. But from the features list, it doesn't look like MediaPortal can't do anything MediaCenter can. It might be a little trickier to set up though, depending on what TV tuners & channels (for EPG) you have.

Kudos to GHDpro for sharing this information, MediaPortal is great for HTPC use!
If anyone is interested, I also discovered that:
- VSFilter doesn't need permanent auto-load, it works anyway.
- you can use a MCE remote with XP home or pro, just download this (even if the OP of this thread says it is an "obsolete" driver, my HP MCE remote would not work without it) and this.

I forgot to ask this, does anyone know how to do a clean uninstallation of MediaPortal 0.2.2? I would like to get the latest one but I just can't seem to get rid of old version cmpletely. Every time when I start Media Portal, it still says 0.2.2.

Does anyone know how to make MediaPortal play video one after another in the same folder? I put together a folder with ep 1-13 and would like them to play ep 1 first then continue to ep 2 and so on. But now it just stops at the end of each ep and I have to manually ask it it to play the next file. I hope there is some setting that can change that.

A parallel study of 749 women divided into five initial percent fat categories produced similar results (Westcott and Guy 1996). That is, the women who began the program with more fat generally achieved better body composition improvements.
So, does exercise work for people who are over-fat? Yes, and it works much better than dieting. Unlike dieting, which reduces lean weight, exercise programs that include strength training add lean (muscle) weight which increases resting metabolism and burns calories all day long for better weight control. Unlike dieting, which cannot be continued very long, exercise can become a permanent part of your lifestyle. Unlike dieting, which needs attention all day long, exercise requires only an hour of your time, two or three days a week. And unlike dieting, which subtracts something good from your life (food), exercise adds something good to your life (physical activity).
While dieting alone is not recommended, a sensible eating plan coupled with a basic exercise program is probably the best way to attain and maintain a desirable body weight. The American Heart Association guidelines of 20% fat, 20% protein and 60% carbohydrate provides heart smart nutrition with limited fat calories. This is a sustainable nutrition program, that combined with regular strength and endurance exercise, can contribute to better health as well as improved body composition.
The exercise protocols in our studies are consistent with the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine (1990). The endurance training program consists of about 25 minutes of continuous treadmill walking or stationary cycling at approximately 75 percent of maximum predicted heart rate. The strength training program consists of one set of 8 to 12 repetitions of 12 exercises for each major muscle group. Every repetition is performed at a slow movement speed through a full movement range.
The participants perform the following exercises in general order of larger to smaller muscle groups:

Help us in the fight for Liberty! Donate now
Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

Research Interests
My central research interests lie in the field of behavioral ecology. I am focused on the ecology of amphibian communities using acoustic interactions, spatial relations, and various characteristics of breeding behavior to explore the dynamics of interspecific competition. The American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) and green frog (R. clamitans) are sympatric throughout most of their native range and often share the same ponds. Their close phylogenetic relationship, sharing of permanent ponds during breeding season, and prolonged breeding systems make them an ideal system for the study of interspecific dynamics. I have focused my research on these dynamics to more fully understand the maintenance of territories and acoustic space in these species. I am mapping movement patterns of individual frogs on a daily and seasonal basis, evaluating changes in calling patterns and effort on several scales, and comparing the use and characteristics of microhabitats. I plan to extend my work into investigating these and other interactions in various types of habitats and on larger scales. Specific interactions of interest include exploring nesting behavior in ranid frogs and its characteristics, changes in mate acquisition strategies, differences in oviposition patterns across pond types and use of vegetation.

Have you tried to go on a diet to lose weight, only to find that despite the hunger and frustration, you didn't manage to lose any weight? Trying to lose weight is a tough and relentless effort. You starve yourself for days hoping to lose a few pounds, only to find youself no better off than before.
But what if... what if you could learn the secrets behind the REAL and effective way to lose weight? And even better, what if you don't have to starve yourself silly in the process?
If you've been trying to lose weight without any or much success, you may have just stumbled upon something that could finally help you shed those pounds for good - without a single day of starvation!
Chances are, you do, too. But trying to lose weight by going on strict diets that keeps you hungry all day long isn't going to change anything - in fact, it has been proven that this actually makes you more addicted to food that you are trying to avoid!
Perhaps you've experience the same shock and horror as me when you couldn't pull the zip up your favourite pants that you were still wearing a couple of months back.
Or perhaps you no longer look good in your favourite shirt with that bulge that just keeps getting bigger and more obvious by the day.
You know you need to lose weight - you've even tried! But you just can't seem to lose anything but your self-confidence.
And the way to start is by throwing out all your diet plans that requires you to stay away from food. You cannot lose weight simply by not eating - that will actually have the opposite effect!
Ever wonder why you almost always end up heavier than when you first started on a stay-away-from-food diet?
Our DNA still contains data from our pre-historic ancestors. Back then, food was scarce. Our ancestors would sometimes go on for days without anything to eat - so when food does come, our body turns it into fat and stores them so what little food they had to eat could continue to sustain them.
When you attempt to lose weight by starvation, this old mechanism kicks in. This means that when your next meal comes around, what you eat will be turned into fat and stored in your body. The more you eat during this time, the more fat will be created.
After all, everyone and their mother will tell you that in order to lose weight, you have to avoid as much food as possible.
The body is like a furnace. It cannot burn of any fat without energy, and you won't get any energy if you don't eat.
The real reason why diets doesn't work for you and the many myths on weight lost that could be costly to your body and health!
How to eat as much as you want and lose more weight than you've ever had with traditional diet plans! - No more giving in to cravings because...
How you can easily maintain your ideal weight, staying fit and healthy for a long, long time to come!
I'm sure by now you've realized that it's finally time to change, and that it's time to take your slice of the pie (quite literally) and shed off that excess luggage around your waist.
So it's only natural that you would want to get rid of all the junks and myths surrounding weight lost that doesn't work - and take on the one method that anyone can follow, regardless of...Read More detail

Washington still in recovery mode from Philly invasion
True story. I was living in Tampa, Fla. in the autumn of 2006 when the Eagles arrived in town to play a game against the Buccaneers. The weekend ended with Matt Bryant kicking a 62-yard field goal as time expired to give the Bucs a 23-21 victory. A healthy contingent of Eagles fans was in town that weekend to watch the game and enjoy a mini-vacation. And by healthy contingent, I mean a swarm of Philadelphians that over-ran Tampa like it was the scene of one of those Capital One credit card commercials. Everywhere you went that weekend -- except, probably, the local library -- there were Eagles fans with sun-burnt faces and beers in each hand. One night, I was talking with some friends at an outdoor bar when a petrified Floridian interrupted our conversation. "An Eagles fan just peed on my foot in the bathroom!" he said. My friends laughed. "You're lucky," I replied, "that he waited until you were in the bathroom." Now, before everybody arches their back and starts to squeal, let me assure you that this is not going to be another lecture on fan behavior. I'm not condemning or condoning anything. Where one might see a drunken adult jumping up and down on the uniform of another grown man, another might see an exercise in the type of freedom of expression that our founding fathers strove to protect when they established this great city called Washington, D.C. I say potato, you say give me a beer. I get it. Fact is, Philly sports fans tend to leave an impression wherever they go. Whether they actually behave any differently from other fans is irrelevant. In this case, perception trumps reality. And, let me assure you, the massive amounts of Phillies fans who flooded Nationals Park on Monday left an impression. For the second day in a row, the Washington Post featured a couple of stories on what is sometimes being referred to as "The Invasion," including an examination of why so many Phillies fans were able to score tickets to Opening Day. According to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, one prominent fan blog called the day "one of the low points in the brief history of the Nationals." Keep in mind, this is a team that lost 103 games last season and has never finished with a winning season. Nationals fans are irate that so many Phillies fans were able to get into the game, while many hometown fans were unable to purchase tickets. In an email to the Post, team President Stan Kasten explained that several factions of Phillies fans took advantage of the Nationals' group ticket policy, which allows groups of 25 or more to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public. But in his carefully worded email, Kasten also suggested that the reason why Nationals fans seemed to be so out-numbered wasn't merely a product of quantity of Phillies fans. Kasten pointed to the Nationals' home exhibition game against Boston on Saturday, which attracted a large number of Red Sox fans. Kasten said there was a "tangible, qualitative difference in the two crowds." Here is the Post story. ^ When Cole Hamels steps onto the pitcher's mound at Nationals Park for his 2010 debut, he will already be well ahead of where he was last season. Hamels, who was plagued by tightness in his elbow during spring training in 2009, didn't make his debut until April 10 last season. Already three days ahead of that time line, Hamels will now try to avoid the rough start that plagued him last year -- he allowed seven runs in 3.2 innings in his first start, five runs in 6.0 innings in his second start, then was knocked out of his next two starts early after A) being hit with a Prince Fielder line drive and B) spraining his ankle while trying to field a bunt against the Nationals. Here is a quick breakdown of tonight's game: 3 Match ups to Watch: Jimmy Rollins vs. Jason Marquis: Rollins reached base four times in the season-opener against John Lannan, but he enters today's game with just four hits in 34 at-bats against the sinker-balling Nationals righty. Jayson Werth vs. Jason Marquis: Werth is 6-for-9 with two home runs and two walks against Marquis. Cole Hamels vs. Ryan Zimmerman: Hamels has faced Zimmerman more than any other hitter in the majors, and the two have had some decent battles. Zimmerman is 12-for-46 (.261) with two home runs off of Hamels, but Hamels has struck him out 10 times in 47 plate appearances. Who's hot

Ten days of pessimism flared into gold's worst rout since 1980 this week, with selling so strong it knocked the world's third-biggest exchange-traded fund further below its asset value than any time in a year.
While shares of the SPDR Gold Trust fell 14% since the start of April, the contraction in its market value was six percentage points more as investors bailed out of shares during the decline. Selling pressure on April 15 sent the ETF more than 3% below the fund's net asset value, the biggest discount since February 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Investors whose purchases more than doubled the fund's capitalization since 2008 were just as eager to sell amid signs of weakening economic growth in China and liquidation by central banks. The SPDR Gold Trust, which balances supply and demand by creating and redeeming shares, has pulled more stock from the market this year than ever before.
"You had a bunch of things hit simultaneously that caused all those twitching investors to pull the trigger," said Michael Cuggino, who manages more than $15 billion at Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds Inc. in San Francisco. "It's affecting the gold market because that ETF no longer needs that gold to support that share count and it's being unloaded into the marketplace."
Gold ETF
A tumble that had erased 2.2% of the gold ETF this month through April 11 snowballed as growth in China weakened, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recommended selling the metal and speculation increased that the U.S. Federal Reserve will taper off its bond buying program.
Gold futures on the Comex in New York lost 4.7% last week and plunged 9.3% to $1,361.10 an ounce on April 15, the biggest drop since 1980. While bullion rebounded 1.9% yesterday, it is still down 27% from a record close of $1,891.90 in August 2011. Gold for June delivery fell 0.1% to $1,386 at 12:31 p.m. New York time today, while the gold ETF advanced 0.9% to $134.02.
The plunge last week widened the discount of the gold ETF to the value of its holdings to 3.1%, the biggest in 14 months, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Only eight times before has the gap, which opens up when the shares keep falling after gold prices are fixed in London, been more than 3%.
"The tradability of the ETF relative to trading gold in the spot market does make these price shocks more pronounced," Paul Baiocchi, a senior ETF specialist at San Francisco-based research firm IndexUniverse LLC, said by phone. "It's a fair point to say that the ETFs have had some impact on gold prices. What that is and to what extent remains in question."

Crowds jammed into the Physicians Memorial Auditorium and three overflow rooms at the College of Charleston Saturday night to see Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous atheist and evolutionary biologist.
"Wow, lot of people here. Must be the rapture," joked John Huddlestun, religious studies professor at the college and moderator of the talk. People even sat on stage to hear what was billed as the world's most famous atheist meets the state's most famous atheist, Herb Silverman.
Silverman, founder of the Secular Coalition for America and a retired Charleston mathematics professor, hosted Dawkins' appearance.
Dawkins' entrance was greeted with a raucous standing ovation. He said he likes to tour Bible Belt towns where like-minded people often thank him for publicly supporting atheism and for challenging religious beliefs.
One woman in audience asked how to deal with being called militant or extreme because she is open about being an atheist.
"Our society has been lulled into treating religion with kid gloves," Dawkins said. "The result is that if you use really quite soft and mild language, people hear it as militant and extreme."
He encouraged atheists to be open about their beliefs despite pressures in a largely Christian nation to espouse a faith.
"When people discover that ordinary nice, pleasant, decent, law abiding, taxpaying people are atheists, it must make a huge difference," Dawkins said.
The audience applauded his criticism of the view that religion keeps people morally in check.
"It is an astonishing idea that the only reason you are good is because you're frightened of the great spy camera in sky. What a terribly ignoble reason to be good. It's a very cynical view of humanity."
Dawkins, referred to as the most cited scientist alive, is bestselling author of 11 books including "The God Delusion" and "The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design."
His talk often returned to the idea that the natural world is so complex that a divine being must be at the helm of its creation.
"I love truth, and I think the truth about the world and about the universe is awesomely exciting," Dawkins said.
But he cautioned that there is a difference between awe and faith.
"Don't ever say I don't understand something, therefore God did it," Dawkins said to loud applause.
For instance, he questioned how people can believe Jesus literally turned water into wine or that people have souls but other animals do not. "At some point God stepped in with his divine hypodermic and injected a soul?" Dawkins quipped.

Data today showed the Conference Board's index of U.S. consumer confidence increased to 81.5 in August from 81 the prior month. Growing tension over possible military action in Syria has put stress on the equity markets this morning. All 10 main S&P 500 groups retreated today.
Equities: The SEP13 E-mini S&P 500 (CME:ESU13) is trading down 18 points to 1636, and we have our next downside target at 1623. We have 1648 as a short term resistance level, and we would not be surprised to see this market try to break below 1600 soon, especially if crude oil keeps heading higher, which could be potentially viewed as a drag on the economy. The escalating potential of military action in Syria is likely causing investors to take some profits in the stock market accumulated this year off the table.
Bonds: The SEP13 US30yr bond futures (CBOT:ZBU13) have had a nice rally off of the recent lows right below 130, and are now up 21 ticks on the day to 132'20. We would not be surprised to see this market continue the rally at least one point high to the mid-high 133′s, especially possible if the stock market keeps going down. Our key line in the sand for the bond market is 131'15.
Currencies: The SEP13 USD (NYBOT:DXU13) is weak today, trading down 22.5 ticks to 81.215. The SEP13 Euro is trading up 20 ticks to 133.95. We believe the Euro is gaining overall bullish momentum as the economic data from that region come out stronger and stronger. We believe the Euro might breakout above the 1.34 level and possibly approach the recent high mark of around 134.50, just hit earlier this month. The SEP13 Japanese Yen is also strong today, trading up 148 ticks to 102.87.
Commodities: DEC13 gold (COMEX:GCZ13) is powering higher today, trading up $25 to $1,418. Gold is likely heading higher on an increased potential for military intervention in Syria. $1,395 to us was a key resistance/breakout level, and if gold keeps rallying, we look for a next upside target of $1,443. NOV13 soybeans (CBOT:SX13) are continuing their impressive rally this morning, trading up $.05 to $13.94, actually approaching the $14.10 level this morning before reversing lower. We are very curious to see how the soybeans market reacts to the first week of September when we might see some harvest selling. OCT13 WTI crude oil (NYMEX:CLU13) is up over $3 to $109, and we have our next market profile target at $111.30, which could potentially be hit very soon.

We're Too Pretty For Southwest!
It seems that the "Too Sexy For Southwest" lady has some imitators! Is there room on the Today show and in Playboy for two more? Travel Troubleshooter columnist Christopher Elliott alerts us to this story out of Tampa, Florida
USF student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams claim the flight crew was rude to them from the moment they stepped onto the plane at Tampa International Airport on February 14.
Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served.
"And I patiently waited and then when they came around with water, they skipped me," Swedberg said.
At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door.
When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. Williams admits she yelled a profanity back at him but was puzzled when she says the flight crew only questioned her.
"I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us," she said. "[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger."
Southwest says the women were being disruptive. They claim to have been banned from all future Southwest flights, including their return flight, after being escorted from the plane by the LAPD. No charges were filed.
They seem ready for their close up, don't they? See, this is why I always fly wearing a bathrobe and rollers.
Too pretty to fly? [Tampa 10 via Elliott]

Skip to comments.The Air Force's 30,000 Pound Bunker-Busting Bomb Is Ready For Action
Posted on 07/26/2012 4:45:36 PM PDT by moonshot925
Its been nearly eight months since the Pentagon sent its largest and most powerful bomb, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), back to Boeing for modifications necessary to take out Iranian nuclear facilities, but the Air Force says it's now ready to go.
Jeff Schogol at Defense News reports that Air Force Secretary Michael Donley says that while the MOP bomb continues to be refined and optimized, the Pentagon feels the 30,000 pound piece of ordnance is now sufficient to strike whatever targets the military may have in mind.
While the bomb went back to the drawing board with Pentagon planners considering Iran a potential target, recent developments in Syria offer up alternate possibilities for the MOP's initial mission.

looks good. let's test it out immediately on iran. see if it works.
blessings, bobo
Is there a name for this beauty?
Little John? Something?
2. It explodes.
And it takes 8 months to make that work?
Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP).
It is nicknamed "Big BLU".
The Iranians are using a sophisticated form of concrete called UHPC(Ultra High-Performance Concrete), Also called "Smart Concrete."
When the Air Force first received the MOP in 2011, it was unknown if these bombs would be able to penetrate several feet of UHPC.
So the bombs had to back sent back and upgraded.
At 30,000 lbs it could be filled with inert, non-explosive concrete and still make a hell of mess.
Little John? Something?

"At 30,000 lbs it could be filled with inert, non-explosive concrete and still make a hell of mess.'
lol true. Live, it should take out half a county.
Very good news indeed!
Now that we've got some fancy technology, I expect we'll break our streak and actually win a war for a change.
.....always had the technology, we never had the balls (in DC) to use it. We had laser guided munitions 45 years ago, but we got real specific where, when, and how.
This SOB will suck the guts out of everything for at least 10 miles away. EVEN if it goes off underground.
The USAF deploys heavy, long rods of solid tungsten from high altitudes with superb accuracy—no explosion-—but don't let one hit you on the head
Forget that silly wimp stuff. This is THE TOOL:
No matter how deep they may be they have to have entrances/exits - MOP those up. Everything else is buried for years. Then bomb it again.
Yoo Hoo - CIA, FBI, NSA, Israel, Echelon, Iran, Terrorist, Nuclear, Bomb, secret, classified, eyes only, confidential, sex, hooters, gay, soviet, china, syria, radiation, Mossad, etc. hint hint.

Last Sunday, there was a long piece in the Times about Paddy Chayefsky's process writing the screenplay for "Network":
Thirty-five years later, "Network" remains an incendiary if influential film, and its screenplay is still admired as much for its predictive accuracy as for its vehemence: a relentless sense of purpose that is even more palpable in the files Chayefsky left behind upon his death in 1981.
These papers were acquired by the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in 2001 but not examined much after their cataloging in the library's Billy Rose Theater Division was completed in 2006. The rarely seen documents on "Network" speak loudly for their absent author, documenting the angst and animus that consumed him on this highly personal project.
Working in an era of paper, pencils and typewriters, Chayefsky seemingly committed to print every observation and self-criticism that he thought of. His "Network" archives provide a road map of the paths taken and not taken in its narrative, but they also reveal a visceral rawness that is scarce in today's age of digital files and screenwriting by committee. They tell the story of an author's struggles to determine what he wanted to say about a medium that would do anything for an audience's attention.
Worth checking out.

**1/2 (out of four)
The last time director Joe Wright ("Atonement," "Hanna") teamed with Keira Knightley on an adaptation of classic literature ("Pride and Prejudice"), she scored a Best Actress Oscar nod.
Not going to happen this time. In Wright's take on Leo Tolstoy's 19th century novel "Anna Karenina," Knightley struggles to convey believably the title character's tragic decisions and grandly emotional behavior. As she trades one Alexei for another, her throw-caution-to-the-wind lust for Count Alexei Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) fails to come across as all-consuming and irresistible—despite Anna's disinterest in her older husband, Alexei Karenin (Jude Law), and his bald spot on top that's not getting any smaller.
Written by Tom Stoppard ("Shakespeare in Love"), this not-very-Russian "Anna Karenina" features a distracting and confusing approach that turns what's happening into theater (Vronsky's horse accident involves him riding the horse off the stage). Stoppard gets little from Levin's (Domhnall Gleeson) unrelenting feelings for Kitty (Alicia Vikander), who goofily calls her past behavior young and stupid just a few months later. The movie also could have paid more attention to political subtext and what Karenin has supposedly done for Russia while dropping some redundant interactions seemingly included to maximize the number of times characters are called "your excellency."
Considering the cultural double standard of slut shaming and perennial issue of women fighting for equal footing in a man's world, "Anna Karenina" of course maintains its punch as a tale of disproportionate responses to infidelity and temptation. Yet the feelings don't shout as loud as the characters in a film that's closer to Cary Fukunaga's decent "Jane Eyre" than Andrea Arnold's breathless adaptation of "Wuthering Heights," opening Nov. 30.
Maybe it's time to focus on coming up with new classics instead of constantly returning to the old ones?

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst called Friday for state-funded, specialized firearms training for teachers and administrators to guard against school shootings.
Dewhurst, a Republican, said school districts would nominate who they wanted to carry weapons on campus. The training would be more extensive than what is currently required for a Texas concealed handgun license and include how to react in an active shooter situation.
"God forbid we should have an active shooter crisis in our schools," Dewhurst said.
His proposal came in the aftermath of last month's mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., where a gunman slaughtered 20 children and six adults before killing himself. Vice President Joe Biden has been meeting with groups this week to develop policy recommendations on how to prevent such tragedies.
The National Rifle Association has called for armed guards in every school in America and rejected any further restrictions on gun purchases or ownership.
Dewhurst said the eight hours of class instruction and two hours of shooting training for a concealed handgun license is "not sufficient" for school employees.
"It doesn't teach how to respond emotionally and technically" to a potentially chaotic situation where young lives could be at stake, he said.
Dewhurst has a concealed handgun license and made his comments in a speech to the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation.
He didn't provide any other details of his plan or specifics on what the training should include. He said the amount of state funding needed would depend on the number of school districts that participate and how many people want the training. School districts would not be required to participate.
Clay Robison, spokesman for the Texas State Teachers Association, said the state should spend more money on classroom instruction, not firearm instruction for teachers. The money Dewhurst is talking about would be better spent on equipping armed school security guards, he said.
"Teachers sign up to teach, not to be armed security guards in their classrooms," Robison said. "Even well-trained security guards with pistols are going to be at a disadvantage to a suicidal maniac with an assault rifle."
The prospects for his proposal weren't immediately clear. A spokesman for Sen. Joan Huffman, of Houston, leader of the Senate Republican Caucus, said she could not comment on Dewhurst's plan and its chances of passing the GOP-dominated chamber until the caucus meets next week.
Texas is a state where gun ownership is typically embraced. Concealed handgun license holders are allowed to bring weapons into the state Capitol and don't have to pass through security metal detectors.
Although state law generally bans guns from schools, school districts may grant teachers and staff permission to carry weapons on to campus if they are licensed.
But lawmakers don't pass every gun bill that gets proposed. In 2011, most of the state's lawmakers signed on in support of a bill allowing concealed weapons into college classrooms, but the bill failed without a final vote in the Republican-majority House.
Dewhurst said his plan would not be a mandate for more guns in schools, but would allow school districts to seek the state's help in guarding against a mass shooter.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said concealed handgun license holders should be allowed to carry their weapons wherever they want. Perry has a concealed handgun license.
Perry spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Perry has called on schools to review emergency plans and "supports having a conversation during the legislative session about what we can do to strengthen school safety."
The Harrold Independent School District near the Oklahoma border is one of the few in Texas that allows school personnel with concealed handgun licenses to carry their weapons to school. The teachers and staff must first be approved by the school board and also take additional training on shooting accuracy, hostage situations and how to clear a classroom in a program designed for the school district.
Harrold schools Superintendent David Thweatt said he's heard from many Texas school districts about his program since the Newtown shootings. He said the program is cheaper than paying for an armed security guard.
"I'm getting a lot of calls from around the state," said Thweatt, who created his district's Guardian Plan in 2007.
"I think it's a good idea," Thweatt said of Dewhurst's idea. "One of the biggest objections to firearms in society is that some don't want people with that tool without some kind of extra training."

Google Asks People To Speak Out Against ITU's Attempt To Takeover Internet Governance
from the speak-up dept
Some of this is due to the way in which the ITU leadership views the internet. Some of it is due to an organization that realizes its own mandate is obsolete and it really serves little purpose anymore, so it's coping by pretending its mandate is much broader, but doing so in a way that shows it has little understanding of the internet other than "something we want a mandate over."
This seems to be one situation where, in the US, pretty much everyone is aligned against this effort. Politicians and companies -- including telcos, tech companies, service providers and more -- are all quite worried what an ITU-governed internet would lead to (mostly funds being diverted from innovative companies to stagnant players and a much less open internet). But the US has only one vote in the upcoming WCIT event where many of these proposals will be reviewed. ITU boss Hamadoun Toure pretends that the public has a voice in this process, but ridiculously shut down the public commenting tool on the ITU's website before telling everyone about it (nice trick, that).
However, if the ITU won't let the public comment, there's nothing preventing the public from speaking out elsewhere. That is, after all, one of the amazing wonders of the internet, which the ITU refuses to understand: it's a tool of communication and expression. Along those lines, Google has revamped its "Take Action" page to urge people to speak out about the whole ITU/WCIT process which will be kicking off on December 3rd.

It's shaping up to be a sh-tty day for Jennifer Aniston.
Photos of the Brange electrifying the red carpet last night with their hotness will be all over everywhere. And now these – of her ex boyfriend Vince Vaughn strolling around contentedly before dinner last night in Hollywood – well they won't help either. Because he's with his fiancee, a Canadian girl from Alberta called Kyla Weber.
For Vince, his spell with Aniston was not unlike Ben Affleck's with the Lopez. So much suffocating hype that, perhaps, permanently tarnished his image.
All of a sudden, spontaneity was actually contrived.
And so Vince, like Ben, retreated. And has remained super low profile while Jennifer continues to tweak her nipples.
Look out. You know it's textbook.
You know that she'll swing out soon as an answer to the Brange, unwilling to let them occupy the full spotlight today, she'll bring something predictable for sure. Maybe her laser tits, or maybe a new hairstyle, or a show for the paps with Gerry Butler on the New York set of The Bounty. Wait for it.

Iron Bacteria
Iron-related or iron-precipitating bacteria (Crenothrix) are a diverse group of microorganisms widely distributed in nature. They are found in fresh and salt waters, in soils, and on desert rock surfaces. Iron bacteria do not normally cause diseases to humans or animals, but rather, they are a nuisance microorganism.
These bacteria are capable of transforming iron and sometimes manganese to an insoluble form that can cause severe fouling or plugging which reduce flows in pipes and plumbing fixtures, in well pumps, treatment plants, and distribution systems. If your home is supplied by well water, most likely you have, and are, seeing, firsthand, the results of what is meant by this bacteria being a "nuisance" microorganism.
These bacteria are the ones responsible for making that reddish-orange, slimy-looking deposit inside the flush water holding tank on the back of your toilet. These bacteria do not need light or air to proliferate or multiply. They flourish and they obtain energy by the oxidation of dissolved iron in the water from the ferrous to the ferric state. The ferric form is precipitated as ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH)3).
When the temperature rises in their environment, like what happens to the water sitting overnight in the toilet tank rising to room temperature, or if air or oxidants are added to their environment, they tend to grow much faster and in greater quantities. What you are seeing in your toilet tank is the result of the iron bacteria converting soluble iron, from a liquid state (Fe2+), to the insoluble form, (tiny rusty flecks), many times referred to as "red water" (ferric iron (Fe3+)). It is in this stage that iron, and manganese, become deposited on the outside of the bacteria cell sheaths and the slimes they produce.
PLEASE, don't be afraid of the water! As mentioned earlier in this article, the bacteria are not harmful, they just look bad and sometimes add an iron taste to your water. Many persons have just come to accept them as part of the Alaskan way of life, as they truly are, pesky little microorganisms. Yes, there are ways to remove them from your well water and keep them from staining your clothes and fixtures, but that is another subject and will be explained in a separate article.
Getting back on track, the bacteria cell sheaths and slimes become encrusted with iron and manganese and it is then that you begin seeing the prominent red-orange color. This bacteria is the cause of various clogging and fouling problems with sand filters, iron filters, water softeners, pumps, even the piping. In a water treatment plant these bacteria can and do interfere with the filtration process and can also cause problems in the distribution systems. In this picture you can see how heavily encrusted the bacteria has become on this diffuser-blade assembly in about weeks time, and this is with 1000 cubic feet of air per minute rushing past this assembly 24 hours a day.
At the UAF water treatment plant, aeration and oxidation are the first step in our treatment process. This is where we can begin the process of removing the majority of these little nuisance organisms from the raw water entering the water plant for treatment.
Because these bacteria can cause taste and odor problems, frothing or foaming problems, can foul or plug dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, tubs and stain clothing, sinks and tubs, we work diligently to remove every trace of these bacteria before the water ever leaves the final filtration process of the water treatment plant. Any of the "rusty" or "dirty" looking water that does occasionally come out of the faucets and taps on campus is caused by other problems occurring in the distribution mains, as well as the "Taste and color" problems you experience on campus.

Euro 2012 provided a high quality of play. Only two teams embarrassed themselves — Ireland and Holland. And the Dutch embarrassed themselves by falling far short of their normal standard, not by being objectively bad.
Unfortunately, the European soccer bureaucrats, following Mae West's view of "too much of good thing" rather than the traditional, correct view, have decided to expand the tournament from 16 to 24 teams. So, the overall quality of play at the Euros will never again be as good as it was this year. Instead, it will probably resemble the mediocre fare served up at the bloated World Cup.
Here are my all-star selections for Euro 2012:
First Team
Casillas – Spain
J. Pereira – Portugal
J. Alba – Spain
Pepe – Portugal
Agger – Denmark
Pirlo -Italy
Xavi – Spain
Khedira – Germany
Iniesta – Spain
C. Ronaldo – Portugal
Ibrahimovic – Sweden
Second Team
Buffon – Italy
Boateng – Germany
Coentrao – Portugal
S. Ramos – Spain
Terry – England
Veloso – Portugal
Gerrard – England
Fabregas – Spain
Blaszczykowski – Poland
Dzagoev – Russia
Mandzukic – Croatia
Best Player – Iniesta
Runner-up – Pirlo

HP recently announced that it was working on what it calls Virus-Throttling Software that will supposedly slow, if not stop, the spread of viruses and worms on a network.
The jist is that, once the virus "throttler" detects suspicious behavior, it limits the computers functionality reducing or eliminating network connectivity or closing specific ports to try to self-quarantine the offending system so to speak.
Has anyone heard about this? Any thoughts on the efficacy of this solution? Any issues you think will make it not work?
I am also curious if this will be offered standalone for use on various systems, or if HP plans to only embed it in their own systems as a proprietary soution. Are you aware of any similar solutions from other vendors?

Acanthurids do not display obvious sexual dimorphism, males assume courtship colours (J.H. Choat pers. comm. 2010).
|Use and Trade:
|Acanthurus maculiceps is part of the multi-species surgeonfish fisheries throughout its range. It is rarely collected for the aquarium trade. It is sold online for $69.99-$499.95 (L. Rocha pers. comm. 2010).
|Major Threat(s):
There are no major threats known for this species.
Surgeonfishes show varying degrees of habitat preference and utilization of coral reef habitats, with some species spending the majority of their life stages on coral reef while others primarily utilize seagrass beds, mangroves, algal beds, and /or rocky reefs. The majority of surgeonfishes are exclusively found on coral reef habitat, and of these, approximately 80% are experiencing a greater than 30% loss of coral reef area and degradation of coral reef habitat quality across their distributions. However, more research is needed to understand the long-term effects of coral reef habitat loss and degradation on these species' populations. Widespread coral reef loss and declining habitat conditions are particularly worrying for species that recruit into areas with live coral cover, especially as studies have shown that protection of pristine habitats facilitate the persistence of adult populations in species that have spatially separated adult and juvenile habitats (Comeros-Raynal et al. 2012).
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. Its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas in parts of its range.

Subject: Defeat of Proposition 9
The defeat of Proposition 9 in yesterday's election means that we will not have to implement the emergency procedures we had set in place. By this memorandum. I am requesting that all of the analysis of the impact of cuts of varying magnitude that was done by the departments of our University be returned to those departments. I would request that you not keep a copy for the file.

The pajama trend seems to be on everyone's lips and I would like to try it mysel
The key to this trend is making sure your pajama pieces look purposeful, rather than having an unplanned, just-rolled-out-of-bed vibe. If you're ready to really commit, I personally love a matching print set, whether in traditional stripes or a top and bottom in an exotic floral. Just make sure you style your PJs with a sophisticated shoe, like a white patent leather pump or a pointy-toe heel. Elegant accessories are a must too, so be sure to add a killer bag (perhaps a chic messenger or a studded mini bag?) and either a sleek bangle or a stack of skinny bracelets. If a head-to-toe pajama ensemble is a touch too much for you, you can still try this trend by simply wearing a nightshirt. I love a silky style, especially one with contrasting piping or polka dots. As for what to wear it with, stick to the classics: a black pencil skirt is always an excellent option (make sure to tuck in your top), or a cool pair of trousers would work too. However you wear your pajamas, the end result is sure to look chic and feel comfortable, which is why I think this is one spring trend you don't want to sleep on!
