Cheers will walk it for sure, might give the chilli a miss tho, i'm a bit soft when it comes to hot food
Dude, try the chili. It's not hot, but rather a weird, Greek inspired riff on pastichio. You'll love it or hate it, but you have to try it because its one of the true Cincinnati originals.
And goetta.....which is even weirder, but many of us have family recipes for it.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Graeters Ice Cream, for sure!
Graeters, on the other hand, is excellent ice cream with a location also in Fountain Square.
Here's a recc you need to write down and save that I'm guessing even many locals won't know about since relatively new. Best barbecue you'll find in the area and every bit the equal of other parts of the US much better known for their 'q (like Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee):
Lots of outdoor seating and fantastic Reds scene after a game for dinner. Not expensive. Right now, they have original drawings of all the Reds greats past and present on the wall for sale. Love this place! You'd need a car, cab or friend to get there. Maybe 15 min from downtown. Oz has great 'q with all that barbie stuff. This is a totally worthy place for an Aussie to try some seriously high quality American 'q.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
Willing to try anything once, have even eaten bbq'd worms once cos it was a local delicacy!
I wouldn't call Cincinnati style chili a delicacy, but then whenever I'm in Philly I get a cheese steak, of which some of the most renowned are actually made with cheez whiz. Yet, it's just what you do.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Quick questions is stub hub the best place to get tickets?
Sent a email to the club asking for some assistance on tours etc and after a follow up email still no reply which is bloody annoying. Regardless of that i've booked all my tickets all in different seats and areas so i see the games from all angles, so bloody excited can't wait for September to roll around!!! Also what a bloody win today
Boss-Hog (05-08-2013),camisadelgolf (05-08-2013),oneupper (05-21-2013)

LAS VEGAS--Don't believe the image makers.
They tell you that pictures are all, that a thousand words won't make up for one visual.
Yet what hurts us most? The pictures people take of us? Or the words they say to us?
So while exhibitors at CES try to inflame you with their glamor and their allure it's worth focusing for a moment on what they're actually saying.
What kind of world do they want us to live in? What kind of people do they really think we are?
The folks at Ezio, for example, think we're boring. "Make life interesting," they implore. If we don't buy their sweetly tasteful "Refined TechWear" (Translation: peculiar metal necklaces, watches, and bracelets that are Bluetooth-enabled. Or something.), we're just dull.
Troubled that I might, after all, be inadequate, I was struck by Samsung telling me that I was terrible at relationships. Especially, it seems, the relationship I'm having with my fridge.
"Discover more of the refrigerator you love," were the company's words.
The message seemed simple: "When you're in love, you're a complacent schmuck. Look at the way you've neglected your lover, the fridge. You should be ashamed."
I am. I hadn't been aware that I even loved my fridge. And now I'm being told that not only do I have a deep thing for it, but I've also been neglecting it.
Hit the road. Stay connected. Don't relax.
Talking of neglected lovers, there are companies that decided to criticize my driving.
Kenwood insisted: "Live Connected. Drive Connected."
But once I get into my car, I rather like the idea that I won't be connected. I rather like the idea that no one will pester me and I can relax. Just me, my twisted thoughts, and the road.
Kenwood is telling me I am a retrograde fool for looking at it like that. It's almost as if society will punish me for such thinking.
Audiovox is also questioning my relationship with my car. It's imploring me to "Get On-Board with the Future of Vehicle Management!"
Apparently, I should be thinking about the state of my car all the time. I should have a plug-in that "monitors, manages, and maintains" my vehicle.
But isn't the fact that I put it in for a regular service enough? Apparently not. I am not on board. I ought to be thinking about the state of my car's innards every day. I am uncaring toward my machines.
Worse, my car is apparently antisocial. For here is the Toyota-Lexus continuum telling me: "Does Your Car TALK To Other Cars. We're Envisioning That Future."
But why should my car want to talk to other cars? I know that's probably something the Googlies have put into their heads, but my car has always seemed quite content to pootle around on its own.
My car has never suggested that the world would be better if the car suddenly appeared on some Facebook for cars and offered other cars a status update as it was sitting in traffic.
Still, I was feeling an increasing shame. The gaps in my life -- and even in my car's life -- are vast and require urgent treatment.
You are not good enough
Panasonic wants to sooth me, though. I think. This company is promising to "engineer a better world for me."
But when it says "a better world," it means that it wants to change my business, my TV, my car, and my home. It even wants to affect my community.
Is nothing in my world good enough? Can't Panasonic just start with my TV and we'll see how it goes? Apparently not. This is an all-or-nothing promise to alter my inadequacies.
Which left me quietly grumbling: "How does Panasonic know about my inadequacies?"
Reeling from all this, I see some words from a brand called M-Edge: "We fit you." You do what? Why? I see that one of its products is called "Alter Ego." I walk more quickly.
I go to what seems like safe ground. Audio companies are there merely to offer me an uplifting experience. They just want me to be happy. But there's Diamond telling me to "Hear The Music."
I want this to have the same tone as "Smell The Flowers." Instead, what I'm feeling is that all this time I've been listening to music, I simply haven't been hearing it. I've been, in essence, delusional.
I turn a corner and there's Sony telling me: "Be Moved." I can't decide whether Japan's former great is imploring me or ordering me. Then I look at slightly chilling ads it has plastered all over the Conference Center.
They seem to tell me that in my immediate future I will begin to feel things at the very touch of a button. I will have a choice, for example, between anxiety, relief, tension, and elation. Or between happiness, sorrow, and awe.
The ads tell me I am supposed to choose "elation" and "awe."
What conclusion do I reach? That happiness is not enough. If I don't feel extremes, then I'm not worthy of being a true modern human.
Keep up, you fool. Keep up.
I know you'll tell me that this is just advertising. That's what advertising does. It makes us feel inadequate so that we buy products in order to believe that we will be better people.
And yet all these messages in one place serve to tell me that for all the shininess and glitz, the tech world doesn't think much of humanity's progress. Humanity needs to buck up, or else.
If you don't want to have split screen on your TV and surf the web on it while you're watching baseball, you're not really human any more.
If you don't want to put your child on a potty with an iPad attached, then you really shouldn't be a parent.
And then the words come at me, phrase after phrase after pithy phrase, telling me to move my mind more quickly into the light.
MakerBot, for example, is simply telling me that it is "Leading the Next Industrial Revolution." And you know the strain the last one put on people. Roku is ordering me to make my "TV Streaming Smart." Because currently it's dumb and therefore I am too.
Just as I resolve to try and get with the program -- indeed to get with the reprogramming of my life -- I am back at Kenwood's booth.
There I see a promise that finally drives me out of the Convention Center.
Kenwood insists it will create "Excitement and Peace of Mind."
So I'm supposed to be feeling excited, awed, elated, while at the same time bathing in peace of mind? How do I do that? How does anyone do that?
I cannot cope anymore. I run as fast as I can. I have be at one with my fridge.

HITS National Championship: Palm Springs - Sprint Course - TriathlonSprint
View Member's Race Log View other race reports
Pre-race routine:
The usual Palm Springs routine. I set the alarm for an hour before transition opened, and was there about 1:15 after I woke up. Killed :30 at the house. For HITS, there was no need to get there early since spots are numbered. At transition, I ran a little, got used to the s/b/r flow, and used all the tricks to stay warm: gloves, beanie, layers, wetsuit partway on, and swapped on the cap sandwich.
It was about 42F for the entire race!
Event warmup:
Before I left to get wet, I squeezed warm water into the wetsuit. The lake was still chilly, but I was wet long enough to feel good at the gun. I swam a few 50s.
I was a lot slower than I usually am in the water at Cahuilla. My sighting was off, but the swim felt good. The water was chilly, but I was wet long enough to feel good at the gun. I had my stoke and breathing the whole way. From swimming in the ocean at Avila, the water felt about 56 or 57, and I later heard that it had been 56 the previous day.
The RD had a deep water start, and evidently moved the course close to shore to improve emotional comfort level. It worked, I didn't see any freakouts, like I would have expected at a normal cold SoCal beach start. RD Mark did say that some people came close to cheating by running in the water close to shore.
What would you do differently?:
It's probably just that going to masters would take off a minute of two.
Definitely wear prescription goggles next time!
Transition 1
79 o/a 4:59, 5/7 in ag
What would you do differently?:
I gave away a minute or more dealing with warm clothes. One small trick would have been to use plastic bags into the sleeves. I did notice that I ran well immediately out of the water for the first time ever, partly from better leg strength, partly because my new stride works with or without the magic Skechers.
My bike was in the top 10% in the field. I rode as hard as normal for the area, but the legs were cold the whole way, and I never felt like I had normal power. I got passed once near the turn down Jackson, but plucked off about 50 of the faster swimmers. The slow pace showed back to the lake, and did for everyone. The field was slow on both the bike and run.
I wore shoe covers, baggies and socks, but it wasn't close to enough. Swim booties might have helped.
I did see three people after they'd gone down - the cold made things worse than normal for these roads.
What would you do differently?:
not much
Transition 2
22 o/a, 3/7. My improved run pace showed up here. T2 was okay. This is another place where the new run helps a lot!
I finished in the top 17% in the field! The run was solid, as I'd hoped since I've been training seriously, but my feet were *cold*. I dumped the beanie and cycling jacket, and kept gloves and socks. The feet were so frozen, I thought I might have wads of socks or something I was running on, and was tempted to stop and check.
However, the run was solid, and about where I'd expected it to be in this field. Yay! It's a good step toward Oceanside.
I got passed once by my new friend Geoff from Cat City, who had a great run. Otherwise, I plucked off a few more people, something that's a new concept for me on the run!
Later, as I write this, I'm ready to do a long run, so I'm in better run shape than ever.
I used advice to go out strong and settle into race pace.
What would you do differently?:
If I did this over, I would figure out a way to make my feet warm.
Post race
Warm down:
Snacks ;)
What limited your ability to perform faster:
Today, the only improvement would have been to warm up the feet.

Day trips from London
When planning a London break, weekend getaway or holiday, there are always plenty of tours, attractions and events to enjoy in the capital. It's also a great place from which to explore UK sites and cities such as Stonehenge, Windsor, Oxford and Bath on one of the many cheap day trips from London. There are lots of deals, offers and packages to enjoy with the best day trips from London.

The name is probably pretty much self-explanatory, but I would like to point out a few things we need to consider. First, it really helps if you can post photos. Also, please don't post anything that is essentially experimental, unless you make that clear in your post. None of us wants to see someone ruin or seriously damage a gun trying an unproven procedure. Finally, please remember that we have people with a wide range of experience, from the person considering getting their first gun, to experienced shooters and hobby-level gunsmiths. If the level of expertise required is not obvious based upon the subject matter of the post, then do your fellow members a favor and include that information.
Finally, make the subject line descriptive of your post. Something like "Fixing mags that won't drop free" is helpful, as opposed to "Give this a try!"

Though the Kyocera Event has only 3G data and is nearly identical to the Kyocera Hydro, save for not being waterproof like the Hydro, it still has enough tricks up its sleeve to be considered a reliable and decent handset.
True, the biggest incentive to buy it is that bargain price tag. At $79.99, it's one of the two best Android smartphones (the other being the Kyocera Rise) in its price range. But it doesn't hurt that it has a respectable rear-facing camera and runs Android 4.0 as well.
The Kyocera Event is compact, and at only 4.1 ounces, is lightweight and comfortable to hold. With its all-plastic construction, it's not the most luxurious-feeling device, but I did appreciate its tapered edges and angled corners.
It measures 4.5 inches tall and 2.4 inches wide, and has a thickness of 0.46 inch. Due to its small size, it fits easily in front jean pockets and small bags. On the left side is a volume rocker, up top are a 3.5mm headphone jack and Micro-USB port, and the right houses a sleep/power button.
On the back is a small audio speaker, with a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash to the right of that. You can pry off the back plate using a small indent on the right of the handset to access the battery and microSD card slot, which takes cards of up to 32GB. Unfortunately, you'll need to remove the battery first to insert the card underneath it.
The 3.5-inch HVGA touch screen has a 480x320-pixel resolution and is responsive to simple swipes. However, I experienced difficulties with more precise tasks, like tapping on the URL bar of a browser, or even typing. Oftentimes, the display registered my taps inaccurately or not at all, and it'd take a few more taps for the screen to finally carry out my selection. Above the display is a notification light and below are three hot keys that light up white when in use, for back, home, and menu.
Rendezvous with the Kyocera Event (pictures)See all photos
The phone runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, and includes all the Google apps you'd expect: Chrome, Gmail, Plus, Maps with Navigation and Latitude, Local, Messenger, access to the Google Play Books, Magazines, Movies & TV, Music, and the Store, Search, Talk, and YouTube.
Other basic task management features are a native browser and e-mail client, a calculator, a calendar, a clock with alarm functions, a news and weather app, and a voice dialer. It also has an app called ICE that stores your emergency contacts and pertinent medical information, and Qualcomm IZat, a location service app.
One notable feature is Eco Mode, which is an energy- and battery-conserving module that we've seen on previous Kyocera devices. There is also a MagniFont Mode option for those who want to improve text readability by increasing the font size one level larger than the "Extra Large" or "Huge" setting that is common on Android devices.
Virgin Mobile included its own apps too. One is called MyAccount, which lets you check your phone and data plan, and the other is Mobile ID. With Mobile ID, you can customize your five home screen pages with certain preselected apps, widgets, and other items depending on which ID profile you choose. Currently, there are six available packs.
The Event also has 4GB of internal storage and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity.
Camera and video
The 3.2-megapixel camera comes with a few options like flash, digital zoom, five white balances, six scene modes, geotagging, five photo sizes (from 480x320 to 2,048x1,536), three picture qualities, five color effects, three exposure options, and six ISO levels.
Video recording includes two recording modes (MMS or Long Video, the former limited to only 30 seconds of recording time), continuous flash, all the same zooming, white balance, geotagging, color effects, and exposure options, time lapse, and four image qualities (from 320x240 to 800x480).
For such a low-spec camera, photo quality was surprisingly decent, though understandably not outstanding. Photos looked best when taken in amply lit settings. In general pictures contained a notable amount of digital noise, bright lights blew out easily, and dark hues were hard to distinguish. However, objects were still easy to make out and weren't incredibly blurred, and colors were accurate.

Other dumpster rental fees include extra tonnage (overweight), fuel surcharges, additional days, hook requests, sorting, and banned materials.
You may need to give 24-hour notice for the pickup, but it is also reasonable to expect that in some cases we may be able to come quickly if they are not too busy. After 7 days, you can expect Bin-Drop to come to pick up the dumpster unless instructed otherwise by you.
When you're done with your rental, call one 1-833-246-7669 or email us at [email protected], and schedule your pickup. You do not need to be home, ensure that the dumpster is a level load, even with the top of the bin, and that nothing is blocking our truck from gaining access to your dumpster.

If you're not sure about something, give us a call at 1-833-246-7669, and we will be happy to answer your questions.
We have an all-in structure, with given allotted weight allowances per dumpster size (i.e. 2 or 2.5 ton for 15 Yard Dumpsters).

Infante not expected to return for Royals set
Tigers infielder slated to have injured ankle re-evaluated on Saturday
KANSAS CITY -- Omar Infante has a locker with his number in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium, but it's empty. The way his recovery is going, that locker won't be filled for this three-game series against the Royals.
The Tigers were originally hoping they could get Infante back from the 15-day disabled list coming out of the All-Star break. Instead, he remained in Florida on Friday doing rehab work on his sprained left ankle.
"He's not ready," manager Jim Leyland said, "and I have no idea when."
Head athletic trainer Kevin Rand has the steps set for Infante's return, but no timetable. Infante will rejoin the Tigers on Saturday, but only for a re-evaluation on his ankle.
Rand said Infante has been running at half-speed and fielding ground balls side to side, and he began taking full batting practice on Thursday. Infante has been making progress, but will need to run at full speed to be ready for a rehab assignment.
"We have to evaluate him first," Rand said. "Once he's full-go, then he'll go out on a rehab assignment. He's not full-go yet."
Leyland said he "pretty much knew Sunday [Infante] wasn't going to be ready" coming out of the break.
Ramon Santiago started at second base for the Tigers on Friday night. Hernan Perez, called up when Infante went on the DL retroactive to July 4, remains on the big club.

That's not possible. Where exactly are you going to create a new site? Please post the URL.
I currently have a topsite named Apple Annies Topsite named after my website. I would like to create another topsite named after my other website, but when I go to create it, it wants to change the topsite I already have.
That's not possible. Where exactly are you going to create a new site? Please post the URL.
Hi...I maybe doing this wrong, but here's what I did...
On the bottom of the page of my current toplist, I clicked on Create your toplist for free.
It took me to http://www.gotop.com
It asked for manager login which I did.
I clicked on quick set up.
It asks for various questions but nevers asks for a topsite name, website url etc. It also has the color there I used for my first topsite and asked me to download another if I want another background???
I also tried it another way and when it asked you to type in "security letters" in the box ...it says I typed in the wrong letters..which I haven't. So I couldn't do it that way either. I had no problems setting up the first topsite, it was that easy. I am stumped....Marianne
Ahh, gotop100.com is the home page. Manager log in is where people log in to their existing lists. You've been logging in to edit your existing list, not creating a new one.
Click the "Create your Top 100" picture, or text link - that will get you to the sign up form.
Well I went and filled out the form. It then stated my emails did not match. They did. I did it 6 times. Same thing. Then it said my verification code was wrong. I did that several times also. It did not work. I have no clue.
There must have been a space or something in one of the emails. It is working fine for everyone else. The verification code is case sensitive.
If you get one that doesn't seem like it is working it could be because a 1 looks like a lowercase L or the letter o looks like the number 0, or something. Just refresh it and get a different verification code.
Hi...Well I finally got it set up. The email was correct because I checked it and did it several times as well as the verification code. Thanks for all your help!
No problem, glad you got it set up!

From the Commodity Self to the Personal Brand
Social media is a form of democratized bohemia, extending the design consciousness mentality and the opportunity for commodity-self-nourishing display to everyone, not just hipsters in the right neighborhoods, or not just urban people generally.
Not long ago I read Robert Goldman and Stephen Papson's "Advertising in the Age of Accelerated Meaning" (pdf), a classic piece of 1990s advertising criticism. (Not everything academics did in the 1990s was superficial junk, notwithstanding this diatribe at Dissent's website about how vapid cultural-studies scholars supposedly were.)
The key point I took away from the article: ad discourse dissolves reality into free-floating signifiers and prompts us to adopt them as the language of self, replacing the identity-making role of tradition in a capitalist world that has eroded all traditional ways and demanded flexibility from its subjects. Design ideology makes that shift more palatable, and social media coincides with our taking a more active role circulating signs the way ads do. With social media we can readily represent ourselves as personal brands, and we shape our identity with that inescapable structuring metaphor in mind. We take the way ads may once have seemed to force us into a particular sort of cobbled-together self out of products and their associated signs and turn it into a positive active procedure, in which we build our personal brand and use our consumption as productive labor building our brand equity.
Some of this essay, from 1996, is dated, mainly because it couldn't have anticipated how the internet would change what they call the "commodity self" -- the identity we fashion for ourselves out of signifiers put into play through advertising discourse. Their key point derives from Baudrillard's idea of the code -- ads detach signifiers from some sort of organic, natural constellation of meaning and make them free-floating; ads marshal and mobilize signfiers and make them attachable to any product or idea. They become a kind of flexible language of images and memes that individuals can apply to their own identity construction; in fact, the chief accomplishment of ad discourse (of all the money put into making ads ubiquitous and their discourse and ideology hegemonic) is to make consumers bathe in ads and adopt its discourse as their own. "Advertising has established the premise that the most gratifying social relations are those associated with the confident, discriminating, sign user." You know, the hipster (the good, on-trend consumer). We hate hipsters because the system, ads as a discourse, is making a promise about what it will be like to be a hipster that actual people who seem like hipsters can't live up to. The prevalence of ad discourse generates outsize expectations of those subjectivated by it. We wish they would stop so we could, but it's not them, it's the entire structuring discourse in all its ubiquity.
Omnipresent ads make us think the language of self should also be the language of ads, which seem by their ubiquity to be the surest way of securing social recognition. Social recognition comes from sounding/seeming like ads, which are manifestly the dominant mode of public discourse. The language of power, measured by exposure, is ad discourse (a consequence of money buying exposure, of commercial media and the leasing of public space to private companies); hence to be powerful, we try to speak of ourselves in that discourse. Of course, ad discourse, as Goldman and Papson point out, "tends to further the hegemony of commodity and market relations" without their being any conscious effort on the part of any evil masterminds ruling from the commanding heights. They "reflect the logic of capital" while they "disguise and suppress inequalities, injustices, irrationalities, and contradictions."
The authors argue that advertising was "in crisis" in the mid-1990s, but that seems to have been a misreading of the significance of advertising's reflexivity and self-deprecation. As Thomas Frank pointed out in Conquest of Cool, this has long been a cyclical strategy for replenishing potency of ad's messages. If anything, the language of ads and branding have become more accepted, almost embraced as a model for one's self-concept -- talk of the personal brand is not at all ironic in contemporary culture, and conceiving of personal goals along the lines of building brand equity are also becoming common as social media turns individuals into mini-media companies with logos/avatars of their own. This amateur population working to detach and recirculate signifiers has forestalled the "sign wars" they anticipated in the 1990s. Instead of advertising eating itself, co-creation and Web 2.0 and productive consumption and the like emerged. We have become the meaning makers and appropriators -- separating things from their ordinary context and allowing them to float free in social media and elsewhere through sharing.
Personal branding and actual product brand managers now complement one another -- we work alongside of advertisers to appropriate and reconfigure and remix signifiers, to generate new meaning possibilities that have value. The intermediate step from being subjected to ads to becoming little ad agencies ourselves lies in the promulgation of design ideology, as epitomized by Virginia Postrel's The Substance of Style, to take one of many possible examples. The insidious creep of design ideology -- that we should choose fonts the express our inner truth, for instance -- works in conjunction with the ideology of advertisements, that magic self-transformation is possible through purchases, no logic required. Both assume that the inner truth can be expressed through manipulation and display of decontextualized signs (in one's appearance, or in one's online presence) rather than through sustained practices. Or rather in replaces all other possible practices with one, the practice of clever sign manipulation. Design ideology rationalizes the overflow of signs pouring in and over us, gives us a protocol for handling the plenitude, for how to slim down and screen some out. It makes the commodity self -- "based on the packaging of self as a collection or ensemble of commodity signs" -- tolerable. Designy-ness is a subjective response to ad culture that accelerates our transformation into a personal brand. It allows us to interpret the ads which saturate our lives as opportunities, as a positive condition, rather than an inescapable blight. Then, armed with design consciousness, we start conceiving of identity explicitly in branding terms.
In a sense, social media is a form of democratized bohemia, extending the design consciousness mentality and the opportunity for commodity-self-nourishing display to everyone, not just hipsters in the right neighborhoods, or not just urban people generally. So social media not only allow for more peacocking personal display (more "sharing") but they also make it more pressing to have more signifiers at the ready, making it expedient to collaborate with advertisers and tolerate them, let them and their detached signifiers into one's intimate life.

Senators McCain and Kerry have probably made moot (at least for now) the War Powers threat that has been fitfully gathering steam in the House. And that's probably fine, as a War Powers showdown is a low-payoff proposition between now and November 2012. It is correct to worry about Obama's non-hostile kinetic military action in Libya being mishandled and problematic, but the War Powers Act is a bad tool that would make things worse, not better.
In its own way, the War Powers Act is part of the same problem posed by the NHKMA in Libya: it tries to denature and bureaucratize war. The principal reason it is bad law derives from the fact that it is unenforceable – and ultimately unnecessary – on its own terms. To enforce the War Powers Act when a president refuses to comply with it, Congress must do what the Constitution already empowered it to do, before the War Powers Act was ever thought of: deny funds to the president's military operations.
The War Powers Act was an attempt to interpolate a less explosive option for stage-managing this form of confrontation, by imposing a deadline by which negotiations would have to start. The problem with this isn't the demand for inter-branch negotiation, however – that is actually a given. The problem is that military action, while it's in progress, is peculiarly unsuited to being argued about and temporized on in this manner.
Many Americans have recognized – mainly because of the Vietnam War – that the ambivalent use of force, subject to unnatural constraints and open-ended vetoes, is a doomed enterprise. The War Powers Act tries, however, to impose an inherent ambivalence on any form of military action that does not involve a Congressional declaration of war.
That attempt ignores the summary nature of military action (and does so, ironically, on a principle similar to that governing Obama's action in Libya). The War Powers Act pretends that military action can, as a matter of routine, be made subject to arbitrary deadlines, or renegotiated as it goes along, without significant losses to the coherence and strategic integrity of national policy. It treats the use of force as if it is a fully "domesticable" arm of policy – as if the intrinsic implications of employing force abroad do not require respect and adjustment from partisan politics.
But military force can't be domesticated in this way, nor should we want it to be. It gets people killed and summarily resets the relations between nations – and that's the whole point of it. If the president and Congress can't agree on its use, then having recourse only to the Constitution's "nuclear option," whereby Congress withholds funds, is the best guarantee that decisions about military action will be made, by both branches, with the prior consultation and the extreme seriousness they merit.
Oddly enough, Obama's characterization of his action in Libya – so bizarre to the ears of the American people – is the same kind of attempt to treat military action as if it is not the high-risk, transformative barn-burner it inherently is. When Obama says the US is not engaged in "hostilities" with Libya, he is speaking from the same text used by Samantha Power when she advocated intervening in Libya based on the putative "responsibility to protect" (R2P). According to this text, it is indeed possible to bomb another country for three months without being in "hostilities": the key is pursuing an objective that makes moot the political factors of recognized sovereignty and national borders.
R2P, as defined by its proponents, is just such an objective. By the R2P formulation, endangered civilian populations (except those in Syria) trump sovereignty. Bombs and killing are not hostilities, if your intention is to protect a civilian population with them – and if you explicitly disavow any intention of producing regime change with them, as Obama has done.
This rightly seems absurd to us; it is an attempt to redefine some very basic concepts, like sovereignty and hostilities. Indeed, it's more than an attempt: the Obama administration is behaving as if the redefinition is already a fait accompli, in spite of the fact that no such consensus has ever developed among the nations.
But the current result of the NHKMA in Libya is the best counter-evidence to the Obama postulate. Libya's civilians are not being protected; NATO, Qaddafi, and the rebel forces have all been killing and injuring them. Bombs are bombs, and they do what bombs do. They can't protect civilians independently of the political situation. The decisive factor is who has sovereignty over Libya; the quickest, most effective way to improve conditions for Libyans is to do the thing Obama has sworn he won't use force to do: change the regime for the better.
That is a human reality that cannot be suspended. But Obama is trying to redefine the nature of both politics and force, to fit an ideological perspective on the nation-state. The War Powers Act is also an attempt to redefine the nature of force – to fit internal politics. Neither enterprise can survive contact with reality.
I agree with those who believe Obama is prosecuting the action in Libya very poorly. Qaddafi could have been gone 10 weeks ago – or the US could have declined to participate. Either would have been preferable to the state of affairs Obama's "leadership from behind" has produced at the 90-day mark. But compliance with the War Powers Act would not change that for the better. It would only add a layer of bloviating bureaucratic oversight, which is invariably injurious to the effective use of force.
This doesn't mean presidents shouldn't need congressional agreement to commit to military action. What presidents have done heretofore is present purposes to Congress and seek authorization – which they know they have to do because Congress holds the power of the purse.
Congress saddled itself with the War Powers Act, however, and had to make some kind of gesture at the 90-day mark. The better option is what Congress can do regardless of whether there's a War Powers Act or not. McCain-Kerry is not a bad start, but it will require vigilance and teeth.
Congress should wait, for a time, to see if Qaddafi's exit can be procured in some way; it might be. Congress should watch Obama's commitment of force with a critical eye, and a clear idea of what it has the votes to declare "too much." And if Qaddafi hangs on through the summer, and Obama persists in the fiction that NATO dropping bombs on Libya is a sovereignty-neutral means of "protecting civilians," then Congress can – and should – cut his funding.
All of that can be done based on the original law of our nation. Using military force is too significant, risky, and inherently transformative an act of policy to be undertaken on the basis of tentative permissions and arbitrary deadlines. There is no place in it either for exotic philosophical distinctions: the normal definitions of sovereignty and hostilities, and the traditional justifications for force, are a network of conventions that we rely on to guard against breaches of the peace.
The American people in 2011 seem to understand these things better than those in office, reacting with a traditional and very proper disquiet to the proliferation of military actions abroad. The people are right about that. And military force, above all others, is a matter in which a disagreement between the president and Congress merits a crisis of government and an unambiguous resolution.

The proliferation of third-party aggregation devices to combine cable TV with internet content in the home is set to continue in the US following a landmark deal between Comcast and Boxee.
This is significant because Comcast is the largest US multi-system operator – with 22.5 million pay TV customers – while Boxee is the most prominent supplier of third-party devices that can access cable TV content directly – so long as it is unencrypted, as is the case for some local and basic channels.
Such boxes are sometimes referred to as Clear QAM devices, and have exploited the fact that US MSOs have been obliged to deliver some mandatory "must carry" basic channels in the clear so that they can be picked up without needing a set top box. But recently the US cable industry has been lobbying the FCC to change the rule so that they can encrypt QAM and shut down this whole bypass mechanism, which would lock out a large numbers of TVs. This also threatens this burgeoning business in IP-connected third-party devices that bring together basic cable and internet TV. Cable TV makers have wanted to cut down on this trend because it threatened their own OTT and hybrid strategies, and have also argued full encryption is needed to combat piracy, and facilitate remote service turn off to reduce support costs.
But Boxee has taken the fight to them, and has now reached a two-part agreement. The first part involves a temporary solution comprising hardware connected to the Boxee box via an Ethernet port, to decrypt the signals. This enables the MSOs to encrypt all content, while Boxee users can get access to it. But it is an untidy solution involving an extra device and more wires, so the second part of the agreement entails development in the longer term of software based decryption for incorporation in future Boxee devices. Although this agreement, subject to FCC approval, is just between Boxee and Comcast, it will set a precedent for the rest of the US cable industry and other makers of these IP-capable Clear QAM boxes.

Polish extreme metallers HATE will enter Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland on June 5 to begin recording their new album, "Erebos", for a late 2010 release via Listenable Records.
"Erebos", which comes from ancient Greek and means literally "deep darkness" or shadow, will contain at least nine new songs, which are said to be a fusion of blackened death metal, industrial and ambient sounds, deathcore and heavy metal.
HATE leader/songwriter ATF Sinner gives us a glimpse into what we can expect from the band's new material: "Since the premiere of 'Morphosis' we have toured different parts of the world and faced a ton of challenges over the course of the last two years. All of the hard work that we have put in the band and everything that we have experienced is reflected in our new songs, which we know are our best yet.
"'Erebos' is going to contain extreme metal to the full with different musical styles incorporated. We explore areas that have not been associated with HATE before, and what we have created is a mixture of styles all packed in an extreme and vicious form. It is still 100 percent HATE, but more elaborate, sophisticated and, in a way, redefined.
"We have titled the material 'Erebos', which basically means darkness of human soul — and is full of analogies to condition of the human living in today's world who is a slave to his anger, weaknesses and complexes. Existing in a fictitious, virtual world, he is a slave to his dreams and does not really live but dreams that he lives."

Editorial: Mr. Boehner's weak immigration excuses
Just a week ago, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, issued a set of Republican principles that established a framework for reforming the nation's broken immigration system.
Now, in a whirlwind about-face, the speaker declares that the prospects for immigration legislation this year are slight because Republicans don't trust President Obama to enforce laws the House might pass.
The suggestion that the president doesn't or wouldn't enforce immigration laws is transparently false. In the very near future, the Obama administration will deport its 2 millionth illegal immigrant, a pace much faster than that of President George W. Bush or any previous president. Under Mr. Obama, apprehensions along the Southwest frontier — a reflection of illegal border crossing activity — have fallen to a four-decade low. The number of Border Patrol agents has doubled in the past decade, to say nothing of sharply higher spending on other agencies and resources meant to stop illegal crossings.
Has all of this been lost on Mr. Boehner?
No, the speaker's assertion is a smoke screen designed to obscure the fact that rank-and-file Republicans refuse to tackle immigration reform. Many persist in the fantasy that 11.7 million illegal immigrants, among them at least 7 million with jobs, should be forced to leave the country, and that anything short of that amounts to amnesty. Some might not buy into the self-deportation myth but fear a primary challenge if they appear lax. Others, more calculatingly, are loath to debate an issue that could prompt a venomous internecine fight, divert attention from what they see as the debacle of the Affordable Care Act and diminish GOP prospects in this fall's midterm elections.
Mr. Boehner might have summoned the spine to quiet those doubts and coax his party toward immigration reform anyway. Or he could have acknowledged that despite his best efforts, he found the political problems within his party insurmountable. Instead, he blamed the GOP's paralysis on Mr. Obama — concocting a weak excuse about the president's supposed trustworthiness — in hopes that the best defense is an aggressive offense.
Mr. Boehner appears to genuinely support immigration reform and to grasp that it is a slow-motion demographic and political disaster for his party to continue to obstruct it. Perhaps his strategy is to wait and grapple with his caucus another day. But he undercuts his case when he lends credence to the canard that immigration law is not being enforced. The reality of enforcement under the Obama administration is measured in deportations that have fractured hundreds of thousands of families and upended hundreds of thousands of lives. It is apparent in long stretches of the border, once highly permeable, that are now so highly militarized that illegal crossings are difficult to impossible. It is reflected in the fact that for the first time in years, as many or more illegal immigrants have been leaving the country as entering it.
By recycling the lie about lax enforcement, Mr. Boehner encourages those in his party who would demand unattainable levels of border impermeability as a precondition for reform. That's a recipe for paralysis.

For Immediate Release
Columbia Man Sentenced for Arsons at MU, Stephens College
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Columbia, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court today for two arsons that caused more than $1 million in damages to the Ellis Library at the University of Missouri–Columbia and a building on the Stephens College campus in Columbia.
Christopher Curtis Kelley, 27, of Columbia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips to six years and six months in prison without parole. The court also ordered Kelley to pay $591,114 in restitution.
On April 24, 2013, Kelley was found guilty of two counts of arson. Evidence presented during the trial indicated that Kelley deliberately set fires at 10 different locations inside the Ellis Library, which is the main library at the University of Missouri, at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 10, 2011. Some of the fires didn't take or caused minimal damage, while other fires caused significant damage. Kelley also used a metal pipe to destroy and vandalize property at the library, including computer monitors, security cameras and windows. Human feces and urine were found on top of one of the study desks.
The overall cost to repair the damage to the library was estimated between $750,000 and $1 million. Cleanup costs alone have amounted to $531,294, and property loss amounts are still being determined. As a result of the fire, university faculty, staff, students, and the public in general suffered a major disruption in services. Employees lost personal possessions and were displaced while repairs were made. Users were denied access and services for a total of 43 lost hours. Reference services were unavailable for 35 hours. International student instruction classes were cancelled. Library staff spent numerous hours moving bottom shelves of reference books away from damaged and wet floors.
In addition, the Ellis Library building houses the Missouri State Historical Society, which serves as the repository for books, maps and other documents with historical importance. That area of the library suffered extensive water damage as a result of the fires. Property damage to that area was separately estimated to be between $60,000 and $75,000. The Society was completely closed to the public for three days following the fires. Society employees put in thousands of hours packing, cleaning, moving and rearranging work space as the Society was renovated. Members of the public were unable to conduct research, and many individuals who had traveled to conduct research were turned away. Five staff members, whose desks and computers were water-damaged, had to pack up their work areas and move across campus to be housed in temporary work space for approximately four months. Additional staff members had to be relocated for several months due to the damage. Tens of thousands of journals and periodicals had to be boxed up and relocated because of renovations required from the water damage, and countless staff hours were expended drying original, primary-source documents. Each page/sheet had to be individually dried with blotting paper to save the documents and prevent the formation of mold. Approximately 1,000 hours were spent taking down, repairing and replacing the art/exhibit panels that were in the corridor gallery.
The Ellis Library also operates a federal documents repository, which suffered major disruption as a result of the arson.
Photos taken from the library's security cameras were distributed to the media and the college community. Law enforcement officials received several telephone calls in response from individuals who identified Kelley. At about noon on the same day as the arson, Kelley turned himself in to the University of Missouri Police Department.
During the investigation into the Ellis Library arson, law enforcement officers recovered stolen computer equipment at Kelley's residence that had been taken from Stephens College during an earlier arson on that campus.
Kelley was also convicted of starting a fire in a classroom of the Audrey Webb Child Study Center on the Stephens College campus at approximately 4 a.m. on May 18, 2011. The Audrey Webb Learning Center is an educational facility, providing a laboratory to train students to become educators.
Kelley broke into the school and stole a computer after starting the fire. The building sprinkler system malfunctioned; however, firefighters quickly responded to the alarm and extinguished the fire before the entire structure burned. There was moderate smoke damage in the basement area directly below the classroom. Damages to the Audrey Webb Child Center amounted to $54,819.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Lynn. It was investigated by the University of Missouri Police Department, the Columbia, Mo., Police Department, the Columbia, Mo., Fire Department, the Stephens College Security Department, the University of Missouri Ellis Library Security Department, the U.S. Department of Education and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
This news release, as well as additional information about the office of the United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, is available on-line at

You can do a deal with China or the US but not bothby George Magnus / October 8, 2018 / Leave a comment
In spite of what had been a deterioration in relations between the US and both Canada and Mexico, all three countries signed a new agreement last week. Subject to ratification, it will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), against which President Trump campaigned vociferously. Known by an unwieldy acronym, USMCA (US, Mexico, Canada Agreement) is not all that much more than a rebranding of NAFTA, and yet there is more to it than meets the eye, not least for Brexit Britain.
Looking simply at the trilateral agreement, it is a reminder that in trade negotiations size matters a lot. While many of the changes introduced into USMCA are cosmetic, there are new clauses relating to modern industries and intellectual property, and the US is a clear beneficiary of new arrangements stipulating rules of origin in the auto sector. Three quarters of the value of a car will have to be produced in North America in order for it to be imported duty-free. The US also gained in respect of access to Canada's dairy market, and in several other areas, including investor dispute settlement rules. It also succeeded in establishing national security as a pretext for levying punitive tariffs, which it did earlier this year with respect to steel and aluminium.
Canada proved to be a feisty negotiator and was able to claim some headway, for example in retaining bi-national panels to adjudicate on decisions to impose duties and penalties, and Mexico, with whom the US reached agreement first, was insistent that Canada was party to the final agreement. The US, though, was the biggest and most powerful party and was able to secure most of what it wanted.
Ratification in Ottawa and Mexico City isn't expected to be a problem, but it might prove trickier in Washington, especially if the composition of the Congress changes materially in the elections next month. There could be important procedural or even substantive differences between the White House and a more Democratic Congress over the withdrawal from NAFTA and approval of the USMCA.
Yet, the wider significance of the USMCA is rather less about technicalities, and altogether more interesting. It concerns two sets of relatively innocuous provisions in two of the last three chapters in the 34-chapter document, and is fundamentally about China, not trilateral trade per se.

I think its Disgraceful the way they have given all this publicity to Mancinni just because he turns up in the stands at the Olympic I thought I saw Conti in the Stadium as well did'nt hear nothing about him though did we. So we lost 5-0 in the cup and 4-0 in the prem so wot! We are still 11th. What a liberty to give Mancinni the opportunity to say if he got the chance to coach in the Premiership he would not turn it down. He certainly knew what game to turn up at. Secretly Billic must be fuming by this attempt to put extra pressure on him and I have every confidence in him, when Payet left every fan got behind Super Slaven Billic so are the board having 2nd thoughts? I dont know why I think he has done a great job up to now. If you remember a few seasons ago mancinni did exactly the same thing with Mark Hughes when he was at Man Citeh And nicked his job so lets hope The slimy little b*str*d does'nt pull of this charade of again. I think if Billic had 5or 6 bad resultsaround Easter time things might be differet but after one loss of 5-0 I think this is right out of order. Coyi

But imo mancini is no better than slav,& as someone else posted mancini would want a lot of dough to spend...

I'm not worried about him going mate, I read the story in the rag and straight away I thought it's to sell more fish & chip papers
Sat, 04/02/2017 - 19:45
Mancini will replace Bilic, to which I laughed out very loud.
Sat, 04/02/2017 - 20:22
He wants a job in the Premiership but with a £200m transfer budget which he wont get here!!!
He is an excellent coach but West Ham wont take him on.
Sat, 04/02/2017 - 20:50
Would like to see what Slav can do. He's faced a lot of adversity this season and still has us in a pretty good position.

Pi$$ed off if they sack Slav for him and I don't let things outside of my control upset me too easily. The board need to realise they have a good coach that is a "West Ham" man with probably his best years ahead of him. I've never been a fan of all things instant success so Mr I've won this and that with my sky's the limit budget can carry on paying to get in. Thank you!

believe most people in a position of management could do no worst than most managers. look at Leicester, same team (almost). same manager, one year top, next bottom. tell me how has the manager has had any influence. A good manager (not football) could have a good management team and get the same results.
Wed, 15/02/2017 - 21:01
So apparently. Mancini has been trying to get the job and him and his agent have been trying to vocally declare there interest to certain people. But Bilic will still be in charge come the start of next season

mankini could be leicester bound,hope the foxes go down now,after sacking Ranieri
Sun, 19/03/2017 - 14:37
don't matter who's incharge we need defence and strikers,Slav for me but Mancini record not to bad but i don't think he would be the right choice
Sun, 19/03/2017 - 16:22
Investment in a few new players and NOT a new manager is what needed. We finished 7th last season and to kick on from there we needed to invest in some high quality players. Sometimes its hard to attract these players and the loan market didn't go well for us at all. We then lost our play- maker from last season, (can't even say his name). Nowadays you need a 100 to 150 mill budget to challenge the top four and considering our financial restraints, mid-table and a good cup run or win would do me. Slaven deserves another season at least.
Sun, 19/03/2017 - 17:23
Slaven needs to go at the end of the season.... The squad shouldnt be finishing any lower then 9th and its embarassing that Biic cant seem to get our team to do the basics right....
Red Neck Iron
Sat, 01/04/2017 - 11:10
Spot on Fred. The basics would us see finish at least 7th. But does he know what they are or how to coach them? The best I can say about Slav is he is trying to run the team the same way as he did in Turkey without adjusting his ideas to the English game.
Sun, 19/03/2017 - 16:37
Investment in players is what is needed,not another prima donna manager...if that doesnt work then maybe look at another option for a manager,slav at least deserves a chance to work with some decent players!!
Sun, 19/03/2017 - 20:00
Totally agree d H65, Slaven deserve to stay. He did a good job, and the company has to work this summer to bring to the club decent players. Ok the passage to the new stadium that brought about changes, ok Payet that the case has created ill-feeling inside the dressing room, but we all know we need to have some good signature where needed. Mancini is absolutely not better than Bilic.
Thu, 30/03/2017 - 17:15
If Bilic goes then try and get marcelo gallardo.
Red Neck Iron
Sat, 01/04/2017 - 11:11
Koeman or Benitez for me. Both would get us in regular top 6 .
Sat, 01/04/2017 - 23:42
With our current playing staff ?

We are very excited about this show. John and Jeff sat down with Scott Davis and his son Tommy to talk about Gamification and Programming for Kids. Tommy is nine years old and the Iowa Code Camp was his second time presenting. Scott and Tommy introduce a package called Scratch that was developed by MIT to teach kids about logic and interacting with programming using sprites. Tommy's favorite experience with programming right now is Lego Mindstorms because of the interaction with the Legos and the development. Most adults when they get started with development also got started with interacting more with the physical machines. The next generation is given amazing tools, but the tools tend to be sealed and the physical interaction is not there. With some of these alternative hobby platforms like Legos, Arduino, and .NET Micro Framework, kids can write some amazing application and see their code work with physical movement and interaction with devices and sensors.
In the second half of this podcast, Scott talks about how companies can us Gamification to prompt employees to interact with software and processes in the organization. We see gamification throughout the consumer space and you need to do is open up the majority of the apps on our phones or tablets and there is some interaction point to give the user a reward for using the tool. Scott gets into his product Qonqr which is described as the board game Risk and Foursquare together. Scott gets into the different mindsets of gamers (Bartle Index) and how you can use these mindsets to get the most out of your team through gamification techniques.

For those who simply cannot get enough of Middle Earth, Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" promises to be the ultimate Travel New Zealand miniseries. He and his "Lord of the Rings" team have taken J.R.R. Tolkien's dense but slight and more comical "Rings" prelude, a simple quest to rob a dragon, and blown it up into a trilogy.
And since the first installment, "An Unexpected Journey," clocks in at almost 3 hours … well, you see what lies ahead of us.
The settings are gorgeous. The effects are spectacular. (Well, most of them.) Gollum looks more real than ever.
But in adding a prologue, in transposing characters from the "Rings" films into the narrative, and in having the luxury of including "Hobbit" minutia by the bushel basketful, I have to say the bloat shows. The hardcore faithful won't admit it, but less cynical studios could have told this entire tale in 3 hours.
Ian Holm, in the days before the party that set "The Lord of the Rings" in motion, narrates his first great adventure to his nephew Frodo (yes, Elijah Wood). In his youth, he was rousted from his comfy hobbit hole by the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen).
And in his youth, he looked an awful lot like Martin Freeman, a bit of inspired casting that pays off right away. Not only does Freeman resemble a younger Holm, the actor's quirky Dr. Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes sensibility (in the latest British TV version of Holmes and Watson) shines through here. No one is better suited to be this "reluctant hero."
All the dwarfs want Bilbo for, of course, is his burglar skills. Not that he has any. But Gandalf told the dwarfs, Middle Earth's homeless diaspora, that this bookish homebody Bilbo Baggins was just the sneaky fellow to take with them as they try to recover the treasure that the dragon Smaug stole from them when he destroyed and occupied their cavern-city ages ago.
To Bilbo, Gandalf counsels "The world is not in your books and maps. It is – out there."
So out there Bilbo goes, on "An Unexpected Journey" to the land of elves, and into a Middle Earth made increasingly dangerous by the incursions of trolls and goblins. He's a hobbit ("halfling") who acquires an elvish sword, a magical ring, an enemy for life (the fellow whose ring he stole) and the respect of a company of dwarfs along the way.
Jackson has the time to settle on details – the moths who fly out of the literally moth-eaten beard of the dwarfs. He can show us, in detail, Radagast the Brown (Sylvester McCoy), Gandalf's nature-loving brother wizard, with a team of rabbits driving his sledge, even if he's barely mentioned in "The Hobbit."
Some of this is welcome, but one struggles to find a performance that stands out in this opening exposition-packed chapter, aside from Freeman and the reliably grandiose McKellen. Richard Armitage is properly heroic as Thorin, the heir to the dwarf throne. But frankly, he's no Sean Bean.
It's a lighter film, the way the book is a lighter novel. But it's quite violent. One villain (voiced by Barry "Dame Edna" Humphries) even jokes about his manner of death. And there's singing.
Scenes and sequences are rich, but they go on too long, which turns this "Hobbit" from a brisk stroll into a bit of a slog.
Jackson hasn't forgotten his lessons in forced perspective – using the camera, doubles, and the like to make Gandalf, men and elves tower over the hobbits and dwarfs in the "Rings" movies. But the contrast is less pronounced, less emphasized here.
And that lesson screenwriters learn when studying the masters seems utterly forgotten in the headlong march into making this book into a trilogy: Even Shakespeare needs editing.
