Pac-12 Media Day Roundup: Part OnePosted by Adam Butler (@pachoopsab) on October 24th, 2014
Adam Butler (@pachoopsab) of Pachoops.com is back for another go-round on his March to Vegas. He covered the Pac-12 Media Day in San Francisco on Thursday. Check back later in the day for his notes on the conference's other six teams.
Coach Andy Enfield took the stage with his starting power forward (or center, Enfield noted both), Nikola Jovanovic, and provided opening remarks lasting about as long as a USC possession: 16 seconds. It was swift and brief. He was complimentary of his fellow, on-stage Trojan, and left the rest to us. Which is probably indicative of the program he's building. It is just year two and arguably the least interesting season during a rebuild. It's neither new and exciting nor developed enough to garner much attention. His team is picked to finish 10th, but he likes what he's building, "We have more athleticism, better shooting. We have an elite freshman point guard (Jordan McLaughlin) we recruited," said Enfield. These components, he notes, are and will become major parts of what we presume is the Enfield system, aka Dunk City, aka Galen Dunk Center. The addition of McLaughlin is huge, and, without directly saying it, Enfield knows how important he is to their future, "We're expecting big things from him. I think he came to USC for that opportunity, to be relied upon as a freshman. He'll have that opportunity. We're excited for him." Which is great because I am, too! I'll be closely following McLaughlin's progress as his commitment to USC, rather than UCLA when the Bruins were in dire need for a 2014 point guard, is a fascinating storyline to this season. USC might play in flashes and make swift opening remarks, but they just might be a program to stick around awhile.
Washington State
Easily the most charismatic of the coaches, Ernie Kent considered himself back from sabbatical: "Any coach that has coached 30-plus years needs a sabbatical. I'm just amazed at what it's done for me in terms of your energy, your spirt." Energy and spirit he provided. He was colorful and funny, even having a slight back-and-forth with his accompanying star, DaVonte Lacy. The two seemed to understand the challenges ahead considering the roster in Pullman and the depth of the conference. But Lacy believes they have the unique opportunity to come together, build on chemistry and do something special. It's something he learned in his short stint with the Pac-12 All-Star team while in China and it's something he expanded upon when I asked him about leadership, "Being someone that's been through the fire already, preparing [newcomers] to go through it, that's how I'm approaching leadership." Lacy hopes to galvanize this group, building chemistry and subsequently surprising a few people with what the Cougars can do. And speaking of surprises, can you imagine a "lost" Ernie Kent knocking on your door looking for directions? "Hi, I'm lost. I'm also your new basketball coach." It's something Kent has been doing in trying to energize the Cougars fan base, "I've tried to make myself available as much as possible… it's been fun getting out and meeting people in Pullman." Like I said, the most charismatic of the 12 lead gentlemen.

Yours truly is fine with trading either/both away as long as your Vancouver Canucks received a FANTASTIC return.ukcanuck wrote: Personally I'm loathe to trade Edler anyway. I'm mean if we gotta that's one thing but I still think there's more there to be had and I think torts should get a shot to squeeze it out of him
As for Schneider I'm open to any solution to the problem
Which your Vancouver Canucks most certainly would.
But that return needs to include players that make your Vancouver Canucks better NOW rather than in the future.
Your Stanley Cup beckons.

NHIAA roundup: Schirch backstops Londonderry hockey win
January 21. 2013 11:14PM
Reserve goalie Mitchell Schirch stopped 32 of the 33 shots he faced and Londonderry skated past Concord, 3-1, in Division I boys' hockey at the Everett Arena in Concord Monday.
"Mitchell was definitely sharp," lauded Londonderry coach Peter Bedford. "We have been playing Joe McGrath in goal much of the year, but Mitchell is a good man to have on the team. He's a junior and has been looking good in practice, and he's earned my confidence. He faced a lot of shots and played a good, solid game."
Many of the Concord shots were perimeter shots with traffic in front of the net, but Schirch was equal to the task. He faced eight Concord power plays and did not surrender a goal.
Londonderry's Eric Coburn and Concord's Harrison Murphy traded first-period goals before Mike Donlan and Ryan Griffin struck for middle-period goals to cement the Lancers' victory. Londonderry is 7-2-1.
"Our offense has been pretty steady and Griffin and Coburn are our two mainstays," added Bedford. "However, we've been getting good contributions from our secondary scoring. Our goals-against is two goals for and one goal against."
Crimson Tide goalie Ben Nelson made 29 saves as the Capital City squad slipped to 3-4-2.
Londonderry faces off against St. Thomas in a late afternoon game on Saturday at the Dover Arena.
Manchester Central 5, St. Thomas 1: In Manchester at the JFK Coliseum, Austin Sprague continue his torrid scoring spree with three goals, giving him five in the last two games. The senior standout has 10 for the season in nine games as Central improved to 7-2.
The Saints (5-4-1) scored a power-play goal 5:55 into the first period, but Sprague tallied two goals before the frame ended. In the second period, Sprague and Trevor Malmgren scored 29 seconds apart for a 4-1 Central cushion. Colin Pacheco added an insurance tally in the third stanza for Central.
Little Green goalie Ian Beliveau had 27 saves while Saints netminder Zane Angelopoulos turned back 21 shots.
Central battles city rival Trinity on Saturday night at St. Anselm College's Sullivan Arena.
Nashua North 5, Bishop Brady 0: At Concord, the Titans erupted for a trio of middle-period goals en route to its victory at the Everett Arena. After John Wilson netted a first-period strike, Bill Loranger, Jake Latham and Tim Paige scored second-period goals to put the game out of reach. Paige scored his second of the game in the third to conclude the game's scoring. North goalie Jake Genest finished with 16 saves while Brady's Chandler Peterson stopped 24 shots.
Kennett 9, ConVal 0: James Gallo, Connor Todd, Nick Ansaldi and Anthony LaRusso scored two goals each for the Eagles, who improved to 7-3 in Division III play. Todd, who is second in the division in scoring, has 17 goals and 20 assists. Kennett goalie Bobby Davis made 19 saves in earning the shutout. ConVal goalies Sean Stinehar and Kevin Foley made 15 and four saves, respectively.

High Court Ruling Favors Prayer At Council Meeting
WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest Supreme Court ruling on church-state separation is a victory for a town council in New York state that regularly opens its meetings with prayers.
The court, in a 5-to-4 ruling today, said those prayers don't violate the Constitution -- even if they routinely emphasize Christianity -- as long as there's no effort to proselytize or to denigrate non-Christians. Justice Anthony Kennedy said the prayers are ceremonial, and in keeping with the nation's traditions. He wrote that they are designed to "acknowledge religious leaders and the institutions they represent," and not to "exclude or coerce nonbelievers."
The ruling was consistent with one from 1983, when the court upheld an opening prayer in the Nebraska legislature and said prayer is part of the nation's fabric, not a violation of the First Amendment.
The Obama administration had sided with the town of Greece -- where nearly every council meeting over an 11-year span opened with prayers that stressed Christianity. The town has few non-Christian places of worship.
But in a dissent, the court's four liberal justices wrote that the prayers violate the "norm of religious equality." Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the case is different from the one involving the Nebraska legislature -- because the town meetings "involve participation by ordinary citizens," and because the prayers were mostly sectarian.

Me and Uncle Duke
What happened when Hunter Thompson told me Garry Trudeau was spying on him.
Slate and Doonesbury.com have compiled a list of Doonesbury's 200 greatest moments. Read David Plotz's interview with Garry Trudeau. See Slate's complete coverage of Doonesbury's 40th anniversary.
Comic-strip people are supposed to stay on the paper or the screen. Any reader of Doonesbury has a legitimate expectation that Mike or Jeff or B.D. or Zonker or Joanie knows his or her place and will adhere to it.
It goes without saying that if any one of them might break the rules, it would be Uncle Duke. A character with his jump-the-shark personality would be the one to bust out of his two-dimensional confines to call me on the telephone one night.
The call came during an Uncle Duke episode in the strip. The caller was Hunter S. Thompson who, through a long druggo-gonzo literary career, was unable to separate himself from fictional characters, his own and others.
Uncle Duke was in no mood for conversation. He was calling to have me deliver a message to "Garrybaldi," my moniker for Uncle Duke's creator. I was to tell Garrybaldi that Duke was on to him and that he was prepared to take steps to stop him.
The ultimatum was outlandish enough to convince me that it surely was Uncle Duke—aka Raoul Duke, aka Hunter S. Thompson himself—at the other end of the line. Worried lest Uncle Duke, with his love of firearms, turn up at my door, I offered to give him Garrybaldi's telephone number.
"No," he said. He wasn't going to let Garrybaldi trap him through a phone. I asked something to the effect of, "What in Sam Hill are you talking about, Uncle Duke?"
Duke answered that Garrybaldi had surrounded him with spies and informers who had infiltrated his home and violated his family's privacy. He said that every domestic secret, everything that took place between him and his wife, Sandy, was being relayed to Garrybaldi, who was putting it all in the strip. (Here's one of the strips about Duke's wife.)
The gist of Uncle Duke's paranoia was relayed to Garrybaldi, who made a noise I could not interpret. "Uncle Duke," I repeated, "says that you know the intimate details of his life that you could only have learned by spying on him."
Garrybaldi explained that he obtained the intimate details of Hunter Thompson's private life by reading his books and articles.
"True facts," I asked, "that anybody can get by going to a public library?"
When Duke was told that he himself was the source, he called me a liar, mumbled, and hung up. I told Garrybaldi that accuracy had no place in Doonesbury. He didn't exactly say, "Amen to that," though we agreed that while sticking to the truth might make you free, it also can get you into tight situations.
(See the strips that ran the week of Hunter Thompson's death.)

Gothenburg boys earn title at Broken Bow CC Invite
Swedes slip past Ogallala.
BROKEN BOW—Saturday's cross country competition at Broken Bow proved a valuable point for the Gothenburg boys: every runner in every place counts.
The Swedes defeated Ogallala by only one point, 37-38, to take the team title.
"Beating just one runner from the team you're competing against can make all the difference in the end," said coach Steve Reeves. "It was a fantastic effort on the boys' part."
Three Gothenburg boys earned medals. Luke Rehmert finished fourth with Andrew Collins five-tenths of a second back in fifth and Brett Dockweiler in 12th. Bryce Eggleston was just outside a medal in 16th.
"It was tight the whole time," Reeves said of Eggleston's battle against Patrick Wright of Broken Bow and Spencer Ewert of Ogallala. "Bryce ran very strategically to beat them."
Reeves predicts it will be a slug-fest between Gothenburg, Ogallala and Broken Bow all season and all three are in the C-4 district.
Ogallala's Sam Adams won the individual title.
The Gothenburg girls were short-handed for this meet, competing with only four runners.
"That's what we needed to score but we like to have more," Reeves said.
The Swedes finished in 10th place while McCook took the girls title.
"This was extremely talented competition," Reeves said.
None of the Swede girls finished with medals and yet they saw improved times from the previous week.
"We will continue to get better," Reeves said.
Jessa Sughroue fo McCook won the individual title.

There's an old story about two shoe salesmen who were sent to different parts of the remote world to study sales potential. The first reported back that since no one in the region wore shoes, there was zero potential. The second reported that since no one wore shoes, the potential was infinite.
Every strategy rests on specific assumptions about what's going on in the world. Given all the factors affecting the legal market today, this is clearly a time to reexamine your assumptions about your firm's strategies. Here are three simple steps.

July 29, 2014
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers today introduced legislation to provide funding to address the current immigration crisis on the Southwestern border.
The bill, H.R. 5230, contains a total of $659 million for border security, enforcement of immigration and customs laws, humanitarian assistance, and illegal immigration prevention. This funding is targeted to meet the immediate needs surrounding the current border crisis, and will be sufficient to cover the estimated costs of these activities for the rest of the 2014 fiscal year. The legislation is fully offset through cuts and rescissions of existing funds within federal agencies, and will result in no new or additional federal spending.
House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers issued the following statement on the introduction of the bill:
"The situation on our southern border is dire, and additional resources are needed to respond to the crisis at hand. The bill introduced today will help address the urgent needs of our law enforcement personnel and federal agencies to strengthen our border, enforce our laws, care for and process the thousands of unaccompanied children and immigrant families already in the United States, and help stem the illegal immigration tide for the future – all while keeping a tight rein on taxpayer dollars.
"This border problem has been exacerbated by the President's current immigration policies, and it will be up to the White House to take the lead in reversing the flow of illegal immigrants into our country. The funding included in the bill today will provide the tools necessary for our agency personnel to ensure immediate needs are met, but the Administration must implement changes to their border policies and fully enforce existing immigration law if we are to adequately address this crisis.
"In the meantime, Congress has a duty to pass this bill quickly to provide immediate assistance for thousands of unaccompanied children, to strengthen our borders, and to bolster the enforcement of our laws. This is a good bill, and I urge its swift passage in both the House and Senate before Congress adjourns for the August recess. Any future funding needs can and should be addressed as part of the regular 2015 fiscal year Appropriations process, and be subject to the budget caps put into place by the Ryan-Murray budget agreement."
Funding and Provisions Included in H.R. 5230:
Protecting our Southwest Border and Enforcing our Laws -
Providing Humanitarian Assistance –
Preventing Future Crisis
Offsets –
The funding in the legislation is fully offset through cuts and rescissions of existing funds within various federal agencies. Many of these offset accounts have been previously used for savings as part of past Appropriations bills. The savings include:
Policy Provisions –
The legislation includes several policy provisions recommended by the "Speaker's Working Group on the Border Crisis," led by Rep. Kay Granger. These provisions include:

Steve was born into wildlife, growing up on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and helping his parents at the 'Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park'. Established in 1970, this two acre wildlife park was home to native wildlife such as lace monitors, tiger snakes, freshwater crocodiles, magpie geese and kangaroos. Many of the kangaroos were lined up in homemade pouches and cared for by Steve's mum, Lyn. She was an extraordinary wildlife rehabilitator and was quite skilled in nursing injured and orphaned animals and sending them back to the wild.
As a child Steve's hero was his dad. Steve wanted to make his father proud and demonstrated an uncanny gift with wildlife from a very young age. He would go on field trips with his father right through the seventies, helping to relocate problem crocodiles, study snakes in Queensland's deserts and assist the university with bird surveys as he was incredibly skilled at climbing trees.
By the 1980s Steve was kicking goals on his own. The wildlife park had expanded to four acres, had two full-time staff and was called the 'Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park'. Steve was enlisted by the Queensland Government to help with crocodiles by volunteering for the East-Coast Crocodile Management Program and captured well over 100 crocodiles, which were relocated or housed at the family's newly established Crocodile Environmental Park.
In 1991, Steve took over the management of the small wildlife park and met an American tourist, Terri Raines, who he married in 1992.
Terri was visiting the wildlife park from her home in Eugene, Oregon when she met Steve. It was love at first sight. Terri was 27 years-old and Steve was 29. They were engaged on the 2nd February 1992, when Terri came back to Australia to see Steve again.
Terri worked in the family construction business from 1979 until she took over the running of the company in 1984. In 1986 Terri started a wildlife rehabilitation facility called 'Cougar Country' specialising in predatory mammals. This work was influenced by Terri's dad, Clarence, who would bring home wildlife he found injured on Oregon's highways. In 1989 Terri took on more work as a Veterinary Technician at an emergency veterinary hospital.
Her life changed dramatically when, on the 4th June 1992, she married Steve and began a life of adventure.
Instead of a honeymoon, the couple took the chance to embark on a crocodile rescue mission and film the project for a wildlife documentary. The Crocodile Hunter documentary series had begun. Steve and Terri would film over 150 episodes of Crocodile Hunter, Croc Diaries, Croc Files, New Breed Vets, Ghosts of War and Bindi: The Jungle Girl. These programs are now seen by 142 countries and 500 million viewers worldwide.
The 1990s brought many changes. Steve's parents retired and moved to Rosedale, Queensland. Steve and Terri changed the name of their now growing wildlife park to 'Australia Zoo'. As filming generated extra funds, Steve and Terri agreed to put all money raised from filming and merchandise back into conservation. Their philosophy was that the Zoo animals came first, the Zoo team came second, and the Zoo visitors came third. With happy, healthy animals it seemed everyone came first. Steve also asked Terri to promise him one thing: if anything ever happened to him, she would make sure the Zoo would carry on. Today Australia Zoo encompasses 1500 acres and employs over 500 staff.
In 1998 Steve and Terri were blessed with their first child. Bindi was born in Buderim, Queensland on 24 July. Steve named her after one of his favourite crocodiles. "Bindi" is also an Aboriginal word meaning 'young girl'.
Tragically, Steve lost his mother in the year 2000. She was killed in an automobile accident and died instantly. In 2004 Steve dedicated the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to her memory.
Steve and Terri had a perfect little girl and now hoped for a son. On 1 December 2003, Robert Clarence Irwin was born. He was named after Steve's dad and Terri's dad. Robert is the mirror image of his father and is crazy about reptiles!
In a day that will live in infamy, we lost Steve in an accident while he was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. Hit in the chest by a stingray's barb, Steve died on the 4th September 2006. The world mourned with us. We must continue Steve's important work. We must stand with Terri, Bindi and Robert to honour the greatest Wildlife Warrior that ever lived!

the lm7805 was hot as heck. ........ so I have ordered a bunch of LT1083 that can handle the higher amperage.
Is there such a ~12vac transformer rated at 50amps or something like that?
As for the multiplexing of chips I'm not sure if I fully understand.
these peaks are coming out of the shaping amplifier

U.S. Senator David Vitter Seeking To Disqualify Violent Criminals From Federal Housing Assistance (Video)
The U.S. Senate will vote this week on an amendment put forth by Sen. David Vitter that seeks to disqualify violent criminals from Federal Housing Assistance. This legislation was added to the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill.
"It's reasonable to say that if you're a violent criminal, federal taxpayers should not have to pay for your housing," Vitter said. "This amendment will also protect those innocent folks who need federal housing assistance from these violent criminals, rather than congregating criminals together with the innocent folks who deserve better."
To be clear, Vitter gives four "big categories" of violent crimes that his amendment addresses: aggravated sexual abuse, murder, sexual exploitation of children and violence against women.
Watch his video below and let us know what you think.

Consumers advised to check for contaminated bottled water
February 22. 2013 11:42PM
CONCORD - The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services is recommending that people who have purchased three-gallon or five-gallon water bottles from Poland Spring since Nov. 1 open them and check for possible gasoline odors before using the water.
Clean water is odorless and should not have any chemical smell.
After Super Storm Sandy struck the Eastern Seaboard in October, gasoline shortages were reported in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and some residents used empty containers to transport gasoline. In the past three months, bottled water companies have detected and blocked from reuse an increased number of returned water bottles found to contain gasoline residue or fumes.
A small number of contaminated bottles are believed to have made it through the detection process and back into consumer use. The exposure levels involved are not likely to result in long-term health effects, said state health officials, who are working with the Food and Drug Administration and other New England states on the issue.

By Reihan Salam
As a general rule, Americans don't give much thought to Uruguay, a small South American republic with a population of 3.3 million. But Uruguay has embarked on a new experiment with marijuana legalization that merits close attention. As Ken Parks of the Wall Street Journal reported late last month, new Uruguayan legislation will allow individuals to grow as much as 480 grams of marijuana for personal consumption, and marijuana cooperatives with no more than 45 members will be permitted to grow just over two plants per member. The government will also allow for limited commercial production, but Uruguayan lawmakers have made it clear that they don't want a domestic marijuana market dominated by large for-profit firms.
Might the United States follow in Uruguay's footsteps? Marijuana legalization seems inevitable—but we'd be wise to follow Uruguay's lead and carefully regulate the kinds of legal marijuana operations that will follow.
Marijuana advocates have successfully pressed for the legalization of the medicinal use of marijuana in 20 states and the District of Columbia since 1996, when California voters passed Proposition 215. And efforts to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, as in Uruguay's new legislation, are gaining ground. In November, three states — Colorado, Oregon, and Washington — had marijuana legalization initiatives on the ballot, two of which passed. Though Oregon voters chose not to legalize marijuana last fall, they will likely get another chance to do so in 2014. Alaska and Arizona could be the next states to follow suit.
Support for marijuana legalization isn't just growing in libertarian-minded western states. In April, the Pew Research Center found that a narrow 52 percent majority of Americans support marijuana legalization. This represents an impressive increase since 2002, when only 32 percent supported legalization. Support among adults born after 1981 has reached 65 percent, and as this cohort comes to represent a larger share of the electorate, it is easy to imagine that the pressure to legalize marijuana will grow. And while there remains a partisan divide over marijuana legalization, with fewer Republicans in favor of legalization (37 percent) than Democrats (59 percent), a majority of Republicans (57 percent) and Democrats (59 percent) believe that the federal government should not enforce federal marijuana laws in states that permit its use.
But the deeper shift is not so much political as cultural. Pew has found that the stigma against marijuana use is quickly evaporating. In 2006, 50 percent of Americans maintained that smoking marijuana was "morally wrong," a share that has fallen to 32 percent as of 2013. Not surprisingly, marijuana use has increased as the stigma against it has faded. The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime reports that the annual prevalence of cannabis use has increased from 10 percent of the general population (persons 15-64 years of age) in 2007 to 14.1 percent in 2010. By way of comparison, the annual prevalence of cannabis use is less than half as high in Uruguay. Marijuana is no longer seen as a drug for people on society's fringes, or the exclusive preserve of hippies and hip-hop devotees. It is used by an impressively wide range of Americans, many of whom use it for banal purposes like reducing stress.
For better or for worse, voters are far more likely to favor marijuana legalization if they think of marijuana users as "people like us" and not "people like them." So I'd guess that marijuana legalization in some form is all but inevitable. The question is what form it will take. Will we see a marijuana industry akin to the alcohol or tobacco industries, or will we try to keep marijuana production small-scale?
One common objection to marijuana legalization is that it represents a violation of American treaty obligations. Back in March, the International Narcotics Control Board, an independent agency that monitors drug control policies across countries, raised concerns about the new marijuana legalization initiatives in Washington and Colorado, which it sees as being in violation of United Nations drug control conventions. Mark Kleiman, a professor of public policy at UCLA who is widely regarded as one of America's leading experts on the regulation of narcotic drugs, suggests that while international drug control treaties limit the scope of federal efforts to tax and regulate marijuana, state governments have considerable leeway. Kleiman and his consulting firm, BOTEC Analysis Corporation, are helping Washington state implement its new marijuana regulations, and one assumes that other states will learn from Washington's experience.
My gut tells me that while marijuana legalization has the potential to be a good thing, insofar as it reduces the number of Americans who are habitual lawbreakers, we need to think hard about the kind of marijuana market that will best serve our interests. In an ideal world, the current enthusiasm for marijuana legalization would give us an opportunity to rethink how we regulate all drugs, including alcohol, a drug that does more damage in the United States than any other. Kleiman often argues that while marijuana is in many respects less harmful than alcohol, it does pose public health concerns, and that the large-scale commercialization of marijuana could greatly increase its use and abuse. Rather than take a laissez-faire approach, in which marijuana will be cultivated at industrial scale and marketers will be free to actively encourage and even glamorize heavy use, we should allow people to grow their own marijuana, as individuals or in small clubs, and allow at most very limited commercial production, if any. In other words, let's legalize marijuana, but let's be very sober and sensible about it.

Opportunity Youth
The Corps Network believes that youth corps can provide "On Ramps" for Opportunity Youth to reconnect to the mainstream. We help provide a voice and assistance to this group of people who must overcome more barriers than others to have success in life.
Who are Opportunity Youth?
Opportunity Youth - sometimes referred to as "disconnected youth" - are defined as people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor working. Out of the 38.9 million Americans who fall into the 16 - 24 age range, about 6.7 million can be described as Opportunity Youth. These young men and women represent a social and economic opportunity: many of them are eager to further their education, gain work experience, and help their communities. Not investing in the future of these youth means 6.7 million missed opportunities.
Opportunity Youth are a diverse group...
Why should we care about Opportunity Youth?
With every high school dropout, we lose future doctors, teachers, business leaders, and scientists. America cannot compete globally if a significant portion of the next generation is left behind. Investing in education and job training for Opportunity Youth is far less expensive than paying for the social services these young people otherwise need. Opportunity Youth cost the United States billions of dollars every year in lost productivity, lost revenue, increased demand for welfare services and crime-related expenditures. Over 60 percent of all youth crime can be attributed to disconnected young men and women. These crimes translate into billions of dollars spent annually on incarceration and victim services.
What can be done to help?
Studies show that about 75 percent of Opportunity Youth are hopeful or confident they will eventually achieve their life goals. More than half see themselves one day earning a college degree. The majority of Opportunity Youth are eager to find a way to advance their education while also earning money or learning job skills. Many service and conservation corps - like those advocated for by The Corps Network - offer youth participants mentors, work experience, job training and educational possibilities. Youth who participate in corps gain leadership skills, earn their GEDs or high school diplomas and go on to become successful, productive adults.

WikipediaRead full entry
The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) is the only extant species of the family Pomatomidae. It is a marine pelagic fish found around the world in temperate and subtropical waters, except for the northern Pacific Ocean. Bluefish are known as tailor in Australia,[1] shad on the east coast of South Africa, elf on the west coast. Other common names are blue, chopper, and anchoa.[2] It is good eating and a popular gamefish.
The bluefish is a moderately proportioned fish, with a broad, forked tail. The spiny first dorsal fin is normally folded back in a groove, as are its pectoral fins. Coloration is a grayish blue-green dorsally, fading to white on the lower sides and belly. Its single row of teeth in each jaw are uniform in size, knife-edged, and sharp. Bluefish commonly range in size from seven-inch (18-cm) "snappers" to much larger, sometimes weighing as much as 40 pounds (18 kg), though fish heavier than 20 pounds (9 kg) are exceptional.
Bluefish are widely distributed around the world in tropical and subtropical waters. They are found in pelagic waters on much of the continental shelves along eastern America (though not between south Florida and northern South America), Africa, the Mediterranean and Black Seas (and during migration in between), Southeast Asia, and Australia. They are found in a variety of coastal habitats: above the continental shelf, in energetic waters near surf beaches, or by rock headlands.[3] They also enter estuaries and inhabit brackish waters.[4][5][6] Periodically, they leave the coasts and migrate in schools through open waters.[7][8]
Along the U.S. east coast, bluefish are found off Florida in the winter months. By April, they have disappeared, heading north. By June, they may be found off Massachusetts; in years of high abundance, stragglers may be found as far north as Nova Scotia. By October, they leave the waters north of NYC, heading south (whereas some bluefish, perhaps less migratory,[9][10] are present in the Gulf of Mexico throughout the year). In a similar pattern overall, the economically significant population that spawns in Europe's Black Sea migrates south through Istanbul (Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara, Dardanelles, Aegean Sea) and on toward Turkey's Mediterranean coast in the autumn for the cold season.[11] Along the South African coast and environs, movement patterns are roughly in parallel.[12]
Life history[edit]
Adult bluefish are typically between 20 and 60 cm long, with a maximum reported size of 120 cm and 14 kg. They reproduce during spring and summer, and can live for up to 9 years.[7][8] Bluefish fry are zooplankton, and are largely at the mercy of currents.[13][14] Spent bluefish have been found off east central Florida, migrating north. As with most marine fish, their spawning habits are not well known. In the western side of the North Atlantic, at least two populations occur, separated by Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. The Gulf Stream can carry fry spawned to the south of Cape Hatteras to the north, and eddies can spin off, carrying them into populations found off the coast of the mid-Atlantic, and the New England states.[15]
Feeding habits[edit]
|Bluefish blitz – YouTube
|Bluefish Feeding Frenzy – YouTube
|Fishing for Gator Bluefish – YouTube
Adult bluefish are strong and aggressive, and live in loose groups. They are fast swimmers which prey on schools of forage fish, and continue attacking them in feeding frenzies even after they appear to have eaten their fill.[7][8] Depending on area and season, they favor menhaden and other sardine-like fish (Clupeidae), jacks (Scombridae), weakfish (Sciaenidae), grunts (Haemulidae), striped anchovies (Engraulidae), shrimp, and squid. They are cannibalistic and can destroy their own young.[16] Bluefish sometimes chase bait through the surf zone, attacking schools in very shallow water, churning the water like a washing machine. This behavior is sometimes referred to as a "bluefish blitz".
In turn, bluefish are preyed upon by larger predators at all stages of their life cycle. As juveniles, they fall victim to a wide variety of oceanic predators, including striped bass, larger bluefish, fluke (summer flounder), weakfish, tuna, sharks, rays, and dolphins. As adults, bluefish are taken by tuna, sharks, billfish, seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, and many other species.
Bluefish should be handled with caution due to their ability to snap at unwary hands. Fishermen have been severely bitten, and wearing gloves can help. It's not a good idea to wade or swim among feeding bluefish schools.[17] In July 2006, a seven-year-old girl was attacked on a beach, near the Spanish town of Alicante, allegedly by a bluefish.[18]
Commercial fisheries[edit]
In the U.S., bluefish are landed primarily in recreational fisheries, but important commercial fisheries also exist in temperate and subtropical waters.[20] Bluefish population abundance is typically cyclical, with abundance varying widely over a span of ten years or more (see chart).[21]
Bluefish is a highly sought-after sportfish (and restaurant fish in some places) that had been widely overfished across the world's fisheries of this species.[22] Restrictions set forth by management organizations have somewhat helped the species' population stabilize. In the U.S., specifically along the seaboard of the middle Atlantic states, bluefish were at unhealthy levels in the late 1990s, but management resulted in this stocks being fully rebuilt by 2007.[23] In other parts of the world, public awareness efforts like bluefish festivals, combined with catch limits, may be having positive effects in reducing the stress on the regional stocks.[24] Some of these efforts are regionally controversial.[25][dead link]
Other uses[edit]
Bluefish are often caught and used as live bait for tuna, shark, or billfish.
Similar species[edit]
The bluefish is the only extant species now included in the family Pomatomidae. At one time, gnomefishes were included, but these are now grouped in a separate family, Scombropidae. One extinct relative of the bluefish is Lophar miocaenius, from the Late Miocene of Southern California.

I think it's fair to say that Democrats as a party oppose President Bush's foreign policy — so much so that they are willing to make purely opportunistic attacks on it that are wildly dissonant with the gist of their own critique of that foreign policy. They apparently think the public doesn't pay sufficient attention to note the dissonance.
Insufficient attention is not a fault that can be attributed to Peter Beinart, who calls the approach "pander and run" in his Washington Post column this morning. A liberal Democrat who yearns for his party to adopt a respectable foreign policy, Beinart finds the Democrats' condemnation this week of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki too much to stomach. He finds that the condemnation fits with a Democratic line of attack on Bush administration foreign policy that he calls "jingoism with a liberal face."
Watching the Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee perform the rites of opposition yesterday to the renomination of John Bolton to serve as America's ambassador to the United Nations is also dizzying, but with a difference. The Democrats on the committee apparently think that the Bush administration foreign policy requires a more effective advocate than Ambassador Bolton. They strongly question his ability to effectuate American foreign policy at the United Nations. It is a critique that does not quite square with the theme of "jingoism with a liberal face" that Beinart deduces from other Democratic criticisms. It is more like "incoherence with a liberal face," or "opportunism with a liberal face."
In this morning's Washington Times, Alan Dershowitz places Ambassador Bolton in the line of the great American ambassadors to the United Nations: "A public advocate for the United States." Like Beinart, Dershowitz is a liberal Democrat. Like Beinart, he must bristle at the incoherence and opportunism of the Democratic enemies of John Bolton.
UPDATE: At Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft provides a striking example of the Democrats' pitiful performance in the hearing yesterday:
Kerry: Why not engage in a bilateral [rather than multilteral negotiations with North Korea] and get the job done? That's what the Clinton administration did.
Bolton: Very poorly, since the North Koreans violated the agreed framework almost from the time it was signed.

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan said he can recall when he came into Major League Soccer 12 years ago and playing in some games that simply didn't hold much importance. But that's hardly the case now.
A look at the Western Conference standings indicates every game to the end of the regular season will impact the playoff picture.
"Yeah, it's pretty crazy," he said as the Galaxy (11-9-4, 37 pts.) prepared to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10-8-6, 36 pts.) on Saturday at BC Place (6 p.m., Time Warner Cable Sportsnet, Time Warner Cable Deportes, 1150 AM, 1330 AM). "It's going to be an interesting finish. It's going to be 10 really good games."
The current West standings show Real Salt Lake, which suffered a 4-2 drubbing at the hands of the Galaxy less than a week ago, in first with 42 points, followed by Colorado and Portland at 39, the Galaxy at 37 and Vancouver and FC Dallas at 36. Seattle, with 34 points, and San Jose with 33 points aren't out of it, either as just nine points separate the top eight clubs in the West. The only team out of the race is bottom-feeding Chivas USA, who have 18 points and just one win since March.
The playoff picture is no clearer in the East, where Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls are tied atop the table with 39 points and the top five teams are separated by only three points.
"This is parity at its finest, I suppose," Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant said with a grin. "It means every game matters. It's almost like a relegation system, from the bottom to the top. From that standpoint, it's definitely exciting."
If the Galaxy had been hoping for a chance to make up ground in which has been an inconstant season, this definitely is it. Saturday's game, the teams' third meeting of the season – the Galaxy won the last one, 2-1, on July 20 at StubHub Center -- will mark the Galaxy's seventh consecutive game against a Western Conference opponent. The Whitecaps are led by Brazilian Camilo Sanvezzo, who scored in the last meeting between the two sides and is tied with Chicago's Mike Magee for the MLS goal-scoring lead at 14.
Galaxy coaches and players haven't tried to determine how many points it will take to make the playoffs – "How can you possibly try to figure that out?" head coach Bruce Arena asked – nor come up with any explanation why this year's race is so tight.
"That's a good question," Dunivant said. "No one's taken it by the horns. Usually one team goes on a long, consistent run and that hasn't happened. Nobody's pulled away with it."
Added Landon Donovan, "It's hard to say. No team has really gotten on any great run. Dallas started well, even Chivas had a good start early on, but no team has been able to sustain it. When we look at our season we've been pretty good the way we've played, but we haven't consistently gotten the right results.
"I think we can look at maybe 8-10 games where we should have another point or another two points. That would propel you well into the league. But that hasn't happened with any team, so we expect it's going to be tight all the way to the end."

This piece originally ran on All About Alpha
Litigation continues to redefine the boundaries of the sometimes slippery concept of "insider trading."
In a new development worth watching, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit has reversed a judgment of the district court below and remanded for further proceedings in a dispute over whether insider trading principles apply to the redemption of mutual fund shares. In the process, the panel draws a sharp distinction between corporate stock and mutual fund redemptions for the purpose of a "traditional" insider trading theory. So far as I can tell, the court's reasoning would apply as well to the act of redeeming an investor's interest in alternative investment vehicles, hedge funds and the like.
Tentative industry victory
The remand itself, a decision issued on July 22, constitutes a victory, albeit a tentative one, for the asset management industry and for its investors. The district court, in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, had granted summary judgment to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the underlying dispute, with Heartland Advisors Inc. But the appeals court, or a three-judge panel thereof, is now saying that the district court was not fully aware of the "novelty of the claims involved," and it wants those claims weighed more carefully before any judgment issues. [the 7th Circuit encompasses the federal judicial districts in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.]
The named defendant is Jilaine Bauer. During the relevant period (1998 to 2002), Bauer was the general counsel and chief compliance officer of Heartland Advisors Inc., the firm that managed the Heartland Group Inc. and that underwrote HGI's mutual funds. The two funds pertinent to this litigation were invested chiefly in medium and low quality municipal bonds in the expectation that they would produce a "high level of federally tax-exempt current income."
On Aug. 10, 2000, Bauer attended a meeting of HGI's board of directors at which several of the problems then facing the muni bond market were discussed. Over the next few days, she exchanged e-mails with key HGI personnel. The appellate court opinion, written by District Judge James B. Zagel (sitting on the three-judge panel by designation) says that she understood that there was a serious difficulty posed by the level of net redemptions from these funds.
As the funds met the redemption demands, HAI found that it had trouble selling off the portfolio securities at carrying prices "because a growing percentage consisted of bonds that had defaulted or were placed on a 'watch list' for potential default."
Almost two months after that meeting, on the morning of October 3, 2000, Bauer placed an order by telephone for the redemption of all the shares she then owned in the Short Duration Fund. In the lawsuit it later filed, the SEC contended that this sale allowed her to avoid more than $20,000 of losses.

The Senate should take a close look at a comprehensive and far-reaching cybersecurity bill that attempts to assign responsibilities for better protecting the nation's critical information infrastructure.
Based on a working draft of the legislation, there are some good ideas in the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced by John "Jay" Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). But there also are some quixotic elements and a few provisions so far-reaching that they could effectively turn the Internet within the United States into a state-controlled medium.
The most troubling provisions would let the president order the disconnection of any federal information system or privately owned critical infrastructure component for undefined reasons of national security.
The bill, S.773, was introduced April 1 and referred to Rockefeller's committee. It probably should remain there until the 60-day review of the nation's cybersecurity policies ordered by President Obama has been digested.
According to the bill's preamble, "America's failure to protect cyberspace is one of the most urgent national security problems facing the country." It goes on to warn of the risk not only to national security but also to the economy.
Its good ideas include the creation of a presidential cybersecurity advisory panel, the development of a comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy, and the establishment of measurable and auditable standards for government and contractor information technology systems. The National Science Foundation would support security research and development, and the Commerce Department would be the clearinghouse for threat and vulnerability information.
Perhaps the most unrealistic provision of the bill is its call for Commerce, in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget, to develop a plan for providing comprehensive, real-time cybersecurity status and vulnerability information on all federal systems it manages within 90 days of the bill's enactment and implement that plan within a year. This is a fine goal. But 90 days? Implemented in one year? Not likely.
At first blush, the provision allowing the president to disconnect networks for national security might not sound unreasonable. But it is far too vague and goes too far. The Internet is so interconnected that almost any network could be defined as critical infrastructure, and the "interest of national security" has been abused so routinely that this provision poses the risk of almost anyone who offends the administration being taken off-line. This provision could, for example, have been used in 1971 to stop the New York Times and Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers, had they attempted to put them online rather than print them. With no judicial review, the law would let a president order the publications' Web servers offline with the argument that it was not censoring a publication, but protecting the national security by removing infrastructure that had become critical.
If such authority is needed, the bill should carefully spell out in a constitutionally appropriate way the circumstances under which it could be used and the recourse and other safeguards against abuse.

This is just another attack on the First Amendment.
Dean, I respectfully disagree. This bill is stating just that. It is vaguely defining privately held organizations that provide infrastructure services and could be used to classify electric grids, pipelines, ISPs, backbone providers, or anything else that suddenly becomes "infrastructure" dependent upon the situation. This is a thinly veiled attempt to invoke government control of the private sector under the auspices of national security. I thought America had enough of that under the last administration...
With more and more government agencies moving to the Internet as a means of transport so they can realize real cost savings over leased lines, this bill would undoubtedly mean higher costs at a time when the government cannot afford it. Commerce and National Science? What have they done in the last century that would make them more viable than say NIST, or NSA?
The cybersecurity act of 2009 could be a good thing.
Saying that the president is going to "turn off the Internet" is wrong. He can't. No amount of law could do that. The sky is not falling, it can't fall, the president can't make it fall.
Through this bill, the president would delegate this authority to certified, trained, authorized people. Like it or not, security professionals in the government need the freedom and the responsibility to protect their part of the Internet, sometimes by shutting out the bad guys.
If you know anything about the Internet, all the president or anyone could do is stop communication on their part (the government's part) of the network. It is not like they could reach into a business and cut them off form the Internet . They don't have the capability to shut us down; this bill would not give them the power to do that. Can anything do that? No.

FEW great men are great in every thing. But in the last testament of this extraordinary American, we see some things altogether characteristic.
When Benedict Arnold came to die, he said--"I bequeath my soul to God."
When Henry Laurens, president of the first congress, came to die, he said, "My flesh is too good for worms: I give it to the flames;" which was done.
But Washington makes no preamble about his soul or body. As to his soul, having made it his great business to re-instamp on it the image of God, he doubted not but it would be remembered, when Christ should come "to make up his jewels."
And as to his body, that admirable piece of divine mechanism, so long the honoured servant of duty to his God and his country, he trusted, that, though "sown in dishonour, it would one day be raised in glory;" so leaving it to rest in hope, he proceeds to the following distribution of his worldly goods:

LITTLE ROCK Gov. Mike Beebe is proposing a reduction in the state's grocery tax that would be triggered if the state's budget obligations in several key areas decline over a six-month period.
Finance officials on Thursday said Beebe is calling for reducing the state's grocery tax from 1.5 percent to 1/8th percent. The cut would eliminate all but a portion of the sales tax that was approved by voters as part of a constitutional amendment.
The tax cut would be triggered if deductions in several key areas decline by at least $35 million for six consecutive months. The deductions include the state's desegregation obligations and payments for certain bonds.
The tax cut was part of a $4.9 billion general revenue budget proposal for next year that Beebe's administration detailed to lawmakers.
Beebe's budget proposal calls for increasing state spending by $180 million. The state Department of Human Services, which manages the state's Medicaid program, would get the largest share of the budget increase, with Beebe proposing $98 million in additional funding for the agency.
Human Services has detailed a series of cuts it will have to make in the state's Medicaid program, including removing thousands of seniors from nursing home care, to plug a $138 million shortfall the program faces even with the additional money.
Beebe proposed increasing money for public schools by $49 million. The governor also called for setting aside $10 million for a "rainy day fund" that the state can tap in financial emergencies.

I think I saw once before (not quite sure if in this forum, or in this thread... ) some phrases translated in Latin, such as
"Good morning"
"It has a very nice weather today"
"Buy buy"
etc. etc.
But, I cannot find it... Any help would be appreciated (or perhaps a link !)

The Indianapolis Colts have given punter Pat McAfee the franchise tag, meaning he will be paid $2.977 million this season if he doesn't reach a long-term contract with the team.
McAfee finished his fourth NFL season ranked fifth in the league in punting with a 47.9-yard average. His 40.3-yard net average was the best of his career.
McAfee also handles kickoffs for Indianapolis.
Under the franchise tag in 2013, a player is paid according to a formula based on salaries for the past five years at the position and their percentage of the total salary cap. With the non-exclusive tag, his team has the right to match any offer sheet, or get two first-round draft picks in return for allowing him to leave.
An exclusive tag ties him to his current team at a higher, but as-yet-undetermined price, for one season.

Tignes is a famous resort in French Alps linked to Val D'Isere.
Get in & out[edit]
The nearest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice, which is served by TGV and local services. In the winter months, additional services operate; Eurostars direct from London, Thalys trains from Europe, and the ski train sleeper from Paris. This is some 35km away however, so coach services provide the onward connection; the journey takes about 1 hour 15 minutes in good weather.
Get around[edit]
The village itself is fairly compact, and the use of cars is now being discouraged. The slopes are accessed direct from the village level ski lifts and cable cars; there are some 90 lifts in total!
See[edit][add listing]
The bleak architecture in the town has somewhat detracted from the atmosphere in the past, but the situation is now improving. Of course, the views of the Alps from the resort are spectacular. It is partly for this reason that Tignes is not only a winter resort for skiing, but a summer one for hiking, mountain biking , summer skiing on the glacier ; it has won the sporting town of france 2008
Do[edit][add listing]
Winter Sports[edit]
Tignes is in the "Espace Killy" skiing area, which means that just one pass is needed for access to the slopes around Tignes, Val-Claret and Val D'Isere; for the 2017/8 season, a six-day pass will cost €285 (£250; $350).
The resort has some 2300km of pistes, of which 26km are served by snowmaking equipment. 15% are green, 46% blue, 27% red and 12% black. The resort is always renowned for the amount of snow it gets, though - a forecast of "rain up to 2000m" means snow to village level, i.e., fresh snow on all pistes.
Summer Sports[edit]
The resort is also much suited to hiking; in summer, the snow at ground level has disappeared and the Sun can actually be quite pleasant.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Ski equipment and rental is available, as is hiking equipment in summer.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Tignes is not renowned for its après, but the situation is improving.
Drink[edit][add listing]
there are around 20 bars and restaurants open , Le Lac is the hub for all activities in tignes in the summer , but Le Lavachet weith its all year round atmosphere has the the highest percentage of business's open in the summer ( alsmost the same as the winer season !) Val Claret has a slightly empty feel to the village apart from the tennis/rugby/football pitches
Sleep[edit][add listing]
There are several hotels, apartment rentals and chalets available in the village, up to 4 star standard.
Get out[edit]
For major shopping etc, Geneva, Switzerland is about 2 hours away in car, 4 by train. Lyon is about 4 hours by car, 4 hours by train. For lesser needs, Bourg-Saint-Maurice has a cinema and outdoor and indoor swimming pool.

For men sweaters form an important part of their wardrobe as much as the T Shirts and blazers do. Sweaters have dual utility for they help you look good as well as keep you warm. Whenever you are tired of wearing blazers and a formal look you can wear a sweater and sport a fashionable semi formal look. They can also be teamed up with your blazers and coats during winters and make a fashion statement.
Let us take you through a few pointers about men's sweaters so that you get a bit more familiar and can shop better. If you know these tips you can have a much better time looking and buying future products.
You ask anybody anywhere in the world and you will get only one answer pointing to the best sweaters which are known as a Cashmere sweater. The soft and thin wool is the sophisticated variety and most expensive too. They feel so soft and nice that almost everyone would wear one if they could and money was no object.
You will find some of the most fashionable sweaters and designs in cashmere wool varieties in the premium stores all over the world.
The winter fashion is always topped by Cardigans that are in monotones or with strips and teamed up with a buttoned up shirt. Cardigans can also be worn with t shirts and makes a good set for office wear. Most men look smart and younger wearing such sets especially when the color combination is chosen well.
What about the turtle neck sweaters in bright colors that you sometimes see? You cannot afford to miss out on them for a change of pace. They make you look slimmer and can be teamed with a pair of denims with tennis shoes or even formal pleated pants with formal leather shoes too.
Check out your collection and put together a turtle neck sweater with a nice leather jacket or a sports coat and you can have all eyes turned on you. All those things can compliment each other as long as the colors match.
The quality of wool varies from place to place and hence it is always important that you try on the sweater and see if you feel comfortable with the wool against your skin. If you feel itchy or uncomfortable you should not go for it. Very important is to maintain your sweater which means you have got to pay attention to the washing instructions given in the label.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A jury in Puerto Rico has awarded $11.5 million in damages to the family of an unarmed man who was shot to death by police in 2007.
The family of Miguel Caceres celebrated Friday's verdict.
Three officers were charged in Caceres' killing, which was caught on video.
Officer Javier Pagan Cruz was convicted of first-degree murder in 2008 and is serving 109 years in prison. The two other officers, Carlos Sustache Sustache and Zulma Diaz de Leon, were acquitted in 2011 of being accessories to murder.
The shooting occurred after Caceres insulted an officer, which led to a scuffle. The video shows Pagan wrestling Caceres to the floor and shooting him at least three times, once in the head.
