Snoopzilla, Snoop Dogg's tentative name for his "Funk" project, recently teamed up with Dam-Funk to drop a soulful EP, 7 Days of Funk. The collaborative project was unique in its sound, at least in terms of its 2013 release.

Video: Mack Wilds Performs "Own It" on "The Arsenio Hall Show"
Life post-Grammy nomination must be grand. Especially for Mack Wilds, who has been having a very successful interview streak this week. Most recently, he hits the stage of "The Arsenio Hall Show" and kicked off Arsenio's show with a capturing performance of "Own It."
Wilds says he found out about his nomination through his label, and almost wrecked his Richmond, VA hotel room. He said that because the Grammys mean so much to him, he wants to take the people who have influenced him the most with him that night: his father and grandfather.
After having appeared in Jay-Z's "Roc Boys" video, Wilds says he and Jay stayed very close. He says Jay has taught him lessons along the way, and the one that stuck out the most was when Jay told him never to ask for handouts. He encouraged Wilds to keep working hard and said that the handouts would come on their own.

2012 Symposium on Small Towns and Leadership Chautauqua:
"Reigniting Community Leadership:
Being Bold in the Face of Change"
Reflections on the Symposium on Small Towns and Leadership Chautauqua by Center for Small Towns Director, Arne Kildegaard
We at CST are always a little bit punchy after hosting our Symposium on Small Towns—maybe even a little bit more so this year. It's exhilarating and a little bit terrifying for us to host 150 of our best friends, of course. This year we doubled down by partnering with the Bush Foundation for a two-day event, consisting of the Leadership Chautauqua on Wednesday, some transition events Wednesday night, and the Symposium itself on Thursday. And we learned a lot. Some of us learned, on Wednesday night for example, that it's probably just not possible to look cool while trying to dance to "Let's do the Time Warp" wearing a nametag. Some of us learned that the campus police will in fact show up and shush you if you're doing too much "networking" with friends and associates in the student apartments after hours!
But the synergies from combining the Chautauqua and Symposium events were everywhere in evidence. Jane Leonard and Katherine McGuire at the Bush Foundation brought in a talented and diverse group of leadership development professionals from all across the Dakotas and Minnesota. We were enlightened on the latest academic work by Dr. Ken Pigg (Univ. of Missouri), and entertained by the brilliantly on-the-mark improvisations of the Theater of Public Policy troupe (Mpls.). While the weather was chilly and rainy that first morning, the conversation was warm and hearty. As you might expect, this was not a group that required a lot of encouragement in order to step up. The toughest job of all belonged to the facilitators, who periodically needed to quiet us down in order to move us on to the next thing.
A good number of the Chautauqua people hung in for day 2, which was also thematically structured around issues of rural leadership. These folks were joined by a fresh influx of small town enthusiasts from as far away as Wisconsin and Iowa. Athena Kildegaard launched the day, as she has for the past 6 Symposia, with a special poem composed for the occasion. (How many do we need before we have a chapbook?) Dr. Pigg then delivered a more extensive review of his research into which particular aspects of leadership development programs are critical to success in outcomes, and which appear to be harmless but not particularly effective. There followed a panel with some truly inspiring stories of bootstrap development. Kathy Callies in particular lit up the room with her story of how the youth in Howard, SD had stepped up to the plate to rearrange the town's entire narrative.
At lunch we were treated to an entertaining talk by "The Good Groups Guru" Luther Snow. Luther encouraged us to reframe our problems as opportunities, and to focus on our abundance of assets rather than on the scarcity of our resources. He even took time to defend the reputation of silos, which have been slandered by the notion that they represent (metaphorically) isolation and insularity. No, says Luther: silos represent social capital! Now that's reframing in action.
The afternoon breakout sessions, which numbered in the dozens, were a feast for those of us interested in rural communities. Well done, presenters!
So thanks again to Jane and Katherine with the Bush Foundation, to our other planning team members Katherine Callies (Rural Learning Center), Anna Claussen (Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy), David Fluegel (UM Regional Sustainable Development Partnership), Blaine Hill (City of Morris) and Jeff Thompson (MN Association of Small Cities), and to our sponsors the Bush Foundation, the UM Regional Sustainable Development Partnership, and the West Central Initiative Fund. Is next year too early to do it again?
I leave you with the Bill Holm poem that Jane recited for us to close the Symposium:
- Someone dancing inside us
- has learned only a few steps:
- the "Do-Your-Work" in 4/4 time,
- the "What-Do-You-Expect" Waltz.
- He hasn't noticed yet the woman
- standing away from the lamp
- the one with black eyes
- who knows the rumba
- and strange steps in jumpy rhythms
- from the mountains of Bulgaria.
- If they dance together,
- something unexpected will happen;
- if they don't, the next world
- will be a lot like this one.

For the past 15 years, Ben Winchester has been blessed with opportunities to work in and for small towns across the Midwest–with a focus on his home state of Minnesota. He is currently a Research Fellow for the University of Minnesota Extension, Center for Community Vitality. He conducts research on two topics that are vital to rural Minnesota. The first is documenting a "brain gain" to rural areas–the influx of 30-49 year old people–to identify the social and economic opportunities of this migration The second research area involves the analysis of rural community leadership, specifically examining the community-wide requirements to "keep the town running" through the public sector. Ben also conducts evaluation studies for Community Vitality to support the efforts of Extension Educators statewide.
Kenneth Pigg completed his PhD in Development Sociology at Cornell University in 1976 and was employed as an Extension Sociologist at the University of Kentucky in 1975. He then assumed the responsibilities of Extension Director for CRD in Missouri in 1983 and in 1987 joined the rural sociology department at University of Missouri. Currently, Pigg is finishing his book on research of the assessment of the effects of leadership development programs on community development success in six states. Pigg has written and published in both these fields for over 25 years, including articles in the Journal of the Community Development Society, a study for the Lower Mississippi Delta Development Commission and a current project for the Southern Rural Development Center on Leadership Development. He also served on numerous editorial boards as well as President of the Community Development Society and Treasurer/Executive Director of the Rural Sociological Society.
Luther K. Snow is a national speaker, author, and social inventor who is popular for his powerful and entertaining presentations. He is a former Director of Organizational Learning for the Blandin Foundation, and authored the Blandin publication, The Organization of Hope, which helped pioneer the new Positive Rural Development movement. Snow has since created the Asset Mapping method of group learning now used by over 2.5 million community leaders across the countryside. Snow will help us tie theory and practice to reveal how much we already know about good leadership, and what we can do next.

At a high school in Spokane, Washington, a student with a gun barricaded himself in one of the science classrooms on September 22, 2003. Using Rapid Responder®, a tool designed to coordinate response to emergency situations, a safety officer at another school brought up a floor plan and photographs of the room, which provided crucial information to officers on the scene. Although the student ultimately received nonfatal wounds in a confrontation with SWAT team members, Rapid Responder helped responders safely defuse the situation with no further injuries to officers, students, or staff.
Following the Spokane incident, the Claremont (California) Police Department became interested in the software as a way to help officers in the field fill in blind spots when confronting dangerous situations in unfamiliar territory. In 2006, the department approached the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)–West for assistance in funding the installation of Rapid Responder at Claremont High School as a technical pilot project. According to the Center's Matt Begert, a year of meetings and discussion resulted in the installation of the software in August 2007, just before the start of a new school year and just in time for the Claremont Police Department to practice using the system in conjunction with their active shooter training.
"In return for funding the project, we will be able to learn from their use of it over time, and figure out where there might be the possibility for improvement," Begert says. "We'll also be able to show it to other jurisdictions and agencies who might want to implement the software."
Begert expects the observational phase of the project to last 1 to 2 years, with the end product a determination of how useful the software appeared to be over time. Results will be shared with the product manufacturer.
Claremont began collecting information on the product's use immediately with the August 2007 training.
"From that training, we realized what a valuable tool it was, and we currently have a grant application [U.S. Department of Education, Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools program] submitted to install it in all 12 public schools and 9 campuses in the school district," says Claremont Capt. Gary Jenkins.
The active shooter training took place in a cordonedoff section of Claremont High, in a group of classrooms clustered around a small courtyard. Officers were divided into groups of four, instructed to move in a diamond formation (one officer leads, two officers assume flanking positions, and one brings up the rear), and sent through a battery of different scenarios. Before each contingent began a training session, its members received a briefing on the layout of the classrooms and the courtyard using the software tool. During the training, officers carefully maneuvered through the courtyard and classrooms seeking two active shooters. In some scenarios, other officers pretending to be wounded students simulated panic and caused chaos as they ran through the courtyard. Shooters also used these pretend students as hostages.
"Before we had this, the officers essentially would tactically respond to situations without any specific knowledge about the area they were entering," Jenkins says. "With the software, officers could review the setup of the area, including floor plans, where doors connect classrooms, and so on. It gave the officers the ability to employ better officer safety tactics, and was a huge advantage in planning how to operate as a team, how to move as a team, and even how to retreat if need be."
Like many similar tools, Rapid Responder was developed in response to the 1999 Columbine High School tragedy. In the aftermath of that shooting, when it was pointed out that better communication might have provided a more effective response to such a crisis, several members of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) began identifying ways that would help first responders communicate better in similar situations. Prepared Response, developer of the software, used that input as a starting point to create a sophisticated tool that first responders can use to coordinate their actions when responding to a variety of situations. During an actual event, all emergency responders have access to previously agreed-on plans as well as access to the most up-to-date and reliable information about the environment. This increases the likelihood that all units responding to an emergency can work together.
The software helps agencies and jurisdictions coordinate the actions of emergency responders by collecting hundreds of pieces of information about a building and its environs and organizing these data points in a user-friendly display. Information that can be compiled in the system includes evacuation plans, floor plans, utility shutoffs, and photographs, giving first responders immediate access to critical information and enabling them to respond to crises quickly and efficiently. The software can be loaded on a laptop, made accessible via the Internet, or carried on CD–ROMs and flash drives. This means that on the road, even in a command post without Internet access, emergency responders can access the tool.
"We wanted to be prepared if confronted with a situation like Columbine and the number of events that have occurred since then," Jenkins says. "We wanted to make sure we had something at our disposal, and this one just seems to provide the information that would be critical to us in responding to that type of event or in a natural disaster such as an earthquake or wildfire."
He explains that something as simple as knowing where the utility shutoffs are might make a difference in responding to an incident, and this software puts that kind of information at their fingertips. Claremont PD also knows who on the school staff has certain responsibilities, which would help the department better coordinate efforts with the school district.
"It's something that we hope we never have to use, but the way we look at it, we hope for the best, we prepare for the worst," Jenkins says.

A public food market in downtown Boston would sell exclusively Massachusetts-based products under a plan being considered by state officials that would significantly limit the market's inventory but provide the rare guarantee of truly local food. The concept, while appealing to many, is generating considerable debate among food producers worried about striking the right balance between emphasizing local products and providing a range of items broad enough to build a large customer base.

No sound fx when someones under pop dog in train
Which is? Never notice any sound in 1.6.
When you go under the pop dog train in "inner" bombsite, a dog barks
I thought they deleted most of the sound things.
It would be completely idiotic if they added something like that to the map. Aztec is completely ruined because of the lightning sound that comes when you cross the bridge or the stairs.
What we do in life, echo's through eternity!
When someone climbs a ladder on a train on de_train, an airplane sounds. When someone crawls under popdog, a dog barks, when someone crosses a specific spot at ivy, a bird tweets. Most of the sounds aren't map wide though, like they are on de_aztec, from what I recall.

This was a beautiful race, and the race director (Chris) was very fast in responding to e-mail questions prior to the race. For lodging, I highly recommend the Stone Lodge & Grille in Leavenworth. If you are traveling from out-of-state, do be aware that some counties in Indiana observe Daylight Savings Time and some do not. Since we came from EST, I was already an hour off. Stone Lodge's county is an hour off from the county in which the race is held. I would definitely do this race again!
This is a trail race for those who are interested in a real challenge. The organizers claim about 7,000' of vertical climb over 26.2 miles and that was probably right. Winding through the Hoosier National Forest, it's all single track, rocky trail except for traversing two dams and a short patch of asphalt at the end of each 13.1 mile loop. The marathon field was small in 2012, only 34 finishers, so expect to have some time to yourself on the trail. I enjoyed this race a lot. If you want to run trails, this is a good chance to do so.
If you want a challenge, this is it. Course (two lake loop) is well marked, hilly and muddy. RD and aid station support were awesome. Very small race thats supports the local cross-country team. My slowest marathon to date, but one of my favorites. Camping was available a half-mile from the start/finish.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Credit: CBS Dallas
A Florida prisoner who escaped after allegedly stabbing a detective with his eyeglasses has been shot and killed by law enforcement officers near Dallas.
The Southlake, Texas, Department of Public Safety posted on Facebook Saturday morning that Alberto Morales was shot shortly before midnight following a foot chase. Police responded to an area near Lake Grapevine in north Texas after receiving information from a local resident.
Morales was on the run for days. Schools in Southlake had been on a "soft perimeter" status since Morales first escaped. Thursday, a $20,000 reward was offered for any information leading to Morales' capture.
The 42-year-old Morales was a convicted sex offender. He escaped Monday at a Walmart store parking lot in Grapevine, a community near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Police say he used a sharp piece from his eyeglasses to stab a Miami-Dade detective who was transferring him by car to Nevada.

Course Overview
Taught by academic staff who are themselves practising artists, historians and theorists, you will be able to study the Fine Art disciplines separately or through interdisciplinary practice. Every Lancaster Art student has their own dedicated studio space from day one, accessible 24/7, day and night.
Our aim from the beginning of your course is for you to become an informed art practitioner with clear creative aspirations and ambition. You will achieve this through the integration of studio-based practice and the study of both art theory and history. So, the first year of your Fine Art degree begins with modules including Fine Art Practice and the LICA wide module Modernism in the Arts.
In your second year, you will take the core modules Studio Practice and Critical Reflections (contemporary arts theory), and modules in Professional Practice or Digital Media will also be an option. Your third year similarly balances academic and practical study including Studio Practice, Professional Practice, and Dissertation. In addition to these modules two vocationally orientated modules, LICA Work Placement and Creative Entrepreneurship, are available in your second and final years.
Getting seen is crucial for those who want to pursue careers in Fine Art. With this in mind, our degree programme ends with both a solo and group show for each student.

Cues from the Contractor
Former contractor is now an expert servicing dealer
In the winter months, the dealership runs specials on preventative maintenance to keep the shop staff busy and the business profitable. He has five full-time staff members and three additional part-time employees in the peak season.
Wife Holly Hampton plays an active role in the business's day-to-day operations. She manages the accounts payable and handles the inventory for parts and chemicals.
Managing for Profitability and Growth
Hampton became an outdoor power equipment dealer when business was easy. In 2004, sales in the industry were strong. Things since then have taken a turn and dealers have had to focus more and more on better business management, and so has he.
Becoming a dealer was a challenge that became more daunting with time as the recession set in. Through it all, Hampton managed to double his sales since opening. Finding ways to better handle his parts department was one way he upped his profitability. They now spend less time looking for parts, and more time pushing sales of the department's inventory.
"Parts inventory had always been a challenge. You end up with so much of it, that it's easy to lose track," says Hampton. "As our parts inventory grew, we started using an Ideal Business Management System. While it's been a little bit of a learning curve, it has helped out tremendously."
Hampton uses the system to track inventory levels, special orders and deliveries that need to mail. They have several commercial customers that they regularly ship parts to, a number that grows every year.
With their sales growth, the Hamptons were able to add 3,000 square feet to their showroom in 2008 and 1,000 square feet to the service department in 2010. The larger service area was designed to provide a better workflow.
The facility they chose when they became a dealer was decided on for its price and location. The Hamptons thought about starting from the ground up, but went for a building that sat empty for 27 years.
"We were looking to build and were interested in the property," explains Hampton. "We nearly gutted the whole thing and built it up to our liking. The property is by a school and on a corner lot. We are not on the main side of town, but it's a very high-traffic area."
Future plans include a revamp of the company website so new and existing customers can learn more about the business and peruse their product offering online. Hampton himself plans to focus on learning as much as he can about the industry and more ways to better manage staff, sales, repairs and inventory.
"We talk a lot with other dealers and reps, and attend every update school we can," explains Hampton. "In becoming a dealer we learned a lot the hard way. We've tried many things and just continue to search for the best way for us to manage our business."

This has not been a good 5 hours. Had a working copy of Windows 8 last night. This morning it says the installation failed so I need to reinstall. Reinstall failed saying the same thing. Was going to just put 7 back on. Gpu failed to post with the msi 790 fx board getting stuck on 2a Restarted a few times and now the cpu won't post and stuck on ff. Any thoughts? Specs: 965x4 Msi 790fx GDP70 Vision tek 7950 2gb 4gb amd black edition ram Wd black hd I'm at a complete loss of what to do. I've taken everything out, reseated the cpu, removed the cmos battery. Completely stumped and I have no access to a secondary board or cpu to check those.
Gpu and ram are both good. Didn't think to check hdd. Won't be able to til tonight now when my backup returns lol.
The older MSI may have finally given up on you. Keep playing around with it by clearing the cmos for longer peroids and testing it with only GPU installed.
Hopefully that's not the case. Though I'm fully prepared to go to war against this. Thanks for the tips
It is interesting to note you have a 6 year old GPU. All jokes aside, looks like power supply. Do you have another you can test with?
Power supply was tested a few days ago for another machine and it worked as well Edit: I'm finally into being able to reinstall windows 7 so I'll be doing that and hope and pray that everything goes properly. If I can get there then I can at least do a few more tests that I'm familiar with.
I thought that was maybe what you meant (and though I may have been young, I was old enough to be capable of long-term memory). I didn't get it because...well...Visiontek hasn't done anything GeForce in a long time, and when they did, I don't remember it being anything particularly notable. I think there are other reasons too, but for now, this is appropriate. Also the fact that it says 2gb of memory.
relic There was a time that I could only afford the 7900GS, and I would salivate over the 7950GTX or GX2. Before that I had an x1300, and before that an x200 integrated, a 9800PRO, and an ATI 7500, and VIA integrated. The world gets itself in a big damned hurry.
I remember when my dad upgraded his motherboard and it included the X200 Express. The first game I played on that was Half-Life 2 because it came as a voucher with the processor he bought I believe. Framerates weren't good, so I think I got as far as dropping down the mineshaft into all the headcrabs before I gave it a rest.
my x200 did a pretty good job, I think I just about maxed it out (no AA or AF) at 1024x768 on my new LCD (that was pretty good graphics for 2004.)
Me and a buddy had to install a voodoo2 before we could play darkstone or omikron: the nomad soul, forget which one. Worked like a charm and made some other games run faster, like Total War: Kingdoms. We could also use advanced graphics options in some games. FFVii and FFViii ran faster, and had more options available to us. To OP: are you going to be able to test with another PSU? even borrowed would be helpful.
I suppose I could give an idea as to how old am I. I was quite young at the time, but the first computer I ever used had something like a 32mhz processor.
Issue resolved. Turns out the Gpu was doa and was causing nonstop issues with everything else. Moral of the story? Always bring spare parts when building a computer.
Yep still able to do an amazon exchange. I put the exchange order in before I could confirm it because I had some suspicions even when it was first running win8. Furmark had some mad screen tearing but I figured it was the driver because I hadn't installed it due to forgetting then lack of time. Much happier to have a working 5850 in it now til the replacement arrives

Fiery Pileup Kills 3 Near Los Angeles

Fiery Truck Pileup in Calif. Tunnel
Buy AP Photo Reprints
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) -- Firefighters finished removing charred debris Sunday from a freeway tunnel where three people died in a fiery, 29-vehicle pileup that could keep a major interstate shut down for days.
Investigators determined 28 commercial vehicles and one passenger vehicle were involved in the crash late Friday that killed three people and injured at least 10, Deputy Fire Chief John Tripp said. The search of the debris ended Sunday morning and confirmed no more fatalities.
With the large numbers of vehicles trapped inside the tunnel, "there was a potential for a greater number of critical injuries, let alone fatalities," Tripp said.
Officials hope to reopen the southbound lanes of the closed freeway by Tuesday morning, but they have been hampered by concern about how many repairs will have to be made for the tunnel to be safe.
"Our goal is to get the roadway open as quickly as possible," said Will Kempton, director of the California Department of Transportation.
At least five big rigs burst into flames that spread to other vehicles and burned a full day after the crash on a rainy Friday night. At the height of the fire, flames shot out of both ends of the 550-foot-long tunnel, rising as high as 100 feet, firefighters said.
About 300 firefighters were fighting the fire early Saturday, and the intense heat caused concrete to crack and melt, sending chucks falling onto a road below. Small fires lingered even as debris was being removed Saturday afternoon.
The bodies of two crash victims were found early Saturday and a third was found later in the day, authorities said. The dead were two adult males and one child, Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Jason Hurd said Sunday.
The bodies of one man and the child were in the cab of a truck hauling cantaloupe, which appeared to have hit a pillar outside the tunnel, a fire official told The Associated Press on condition his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak about the crash.
The other body was found in a truck about 12 feet short of the tunnel's exit, said the official.
The exact ages of the victims were unknown. County coroner's investigator Kelly Yagerlener said it could be several days before the names of the dead were released.
The pileup in the southbound truck tunnel of Interstate 5 began about 11 p.m. Friday when two big rigs collided on the rain-slickened highway, about 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.
"There was an accident in front of me. I come to a stop and then they just start hitting me, one right after another," trucker Tony Brazil told reporters at the crash site.
"A couple drivers come over the top of the truck and (said), 'Get out of here, let's get out of here,' so I got my wallet and my phone and I was able to squeeze between that truck there and the wall," Brazil said.
The cause of the crash is being investigated.
The pileup snarled traffic for miles in all directions as motorists had to navigate neighborhood streets and mountain roads to get around the wreck. Traveling 100 yards on one street just down the hill from the crash took an hour.
Interstate 5 is a key route connecting Southern and Northern California, as well as a major commuter link between Los Angeles and its northern suburbs.
The tunnel, built in the 1970s, and its mix of curves and darkness has long been regarded by truckers as one of the most dangerous areas of the freeway.
"There's kind of a blind spot, so if you boogie around the bend too fast and there's somebody stopped in the tunnel, it'll be 'boom-boom-boom', Arthur Johnson, 45, of Buckeye, Ariz., told the Los Angeles Times.
Truck driver Fausto Angelino said he's been driving that stretch of road for 23 years.
"I hold my breath every time," he said.
The stretch of freeway carries about 225,000 vehicles a day.

"This universe of ours, what is it really? Here we are, centres of consciousness, surrounded by a buzzing confusion which we must try to understand. But we are of the selfsame stuff of the universe -- perhaps ultimately a cloud of energy interacting with other clouds of energy -- and on that account we are in the role more of participants than observers. We cannot distance ourselves from our ambient, hold it at arm's length for impartial scrutiny. This fact has been heavily underlined by modern physics since it sets limits to our knowledge. What we experience is not external reality per se but our interaction with it, so that in a very real sense we are constructing our universe from ourselves."
"The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and "consciousness" cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and "will" cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution of man is the evolution of his power of doing, and "doing" cannot be the result of things which "happen."

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
President Obama mobile warning is Supreme Court to keep its hands off itself Carol law and Republicans.
My next guest says that the law is unconstitutional -- ago it has nothing to do loses a lot of business news.
Knows a little bit about the -- you might remember.
And as Ronald Reagan confidant but -- as Ronald Reagan's attorney general.
One of the leaders of the Reagan revolution and one of the most respected.
Attorney generals this country's ever had it's very good to have you -- case.
What did you make of the big constitutional.
Professor lawyer.
Arguing that pointed to the -- today.
Well first -- we've got to remember that despite what that some people say Obama was never professor he was an instructor in the law.
And I think it's clear from what he just -- that is why we was not a professor.
That that to me was a sign of desperation.
On the part of the president.
The oral arguments did not go very well for the administration.
And I think their panic now that the court might in fact follow the constitution.
Which means absolutely that they would declare the individual mandate unconscious.
-- now we -- get into the politics of all of this -- one argument goes that if it's a 54 decision and presumably to conservatives.
All of the slap this down the administration's gonna come back later and say.
It was those SOB Republicans who stopped us again and don't and if you remember gore bush.
It's all over that again at how is that gonna go down.
I don't think they're gonna be able to make that stick because as we know already 70% of the public even people who like the law.
Agree in the polls that it's unconstitutional.
So I think they're gonna have a hard time making that stick I'm also -- course.
Also of course the the the whole theory of judicial activism is against them.
Judicial activism is not win the court finds that -- congressionally passed law is unconstitutional.
Judicial activism is when.
Judges substitute their own policy preferences.
They're personal biases or their own views for what the constitution -- the law actually says.
If we look at examples of judicial activism we see how different it is from what the president's talking about.
For example in the -- locates Akeelah against the city of New London.
Where the at Citi wanted to take a private persons own home.
And it take it and in effect sell the property so they get more tax revenue.
-- and they.
Took the eminent domain provisions out of the Fifth Amendment which says that private property they should not be taken except for public use.
And they change that around to say public purpose.
In the famous case that's -- really at the bottom of that this particular.
View of that of the president and that is wicket against silver and the case that that expanded.
The the idea of of the yet.
Commerce clause.
To go beyond regulation of congress which was the commerce but what the constitution actually says and substitute instead.
The idea of regulating anything that affects commerce so if they go one step even beyond that.
It would be indeed judicial activism if they -- the Obama care.
Individual mandate to stand.
Horowitz of the activism really being addressed here is that perpetrated by of the legislative and executive branches -- and that's what the objective is in the court would be.
Redressing -- if they were to vote against this.
Bomb or or -- absolutely right.
So so let me it was actually get a sense then of how them.
As an attorney general someone who knows -- -- well.
And how it practices just that the PR part of this if you indulge me that is this is the same president -- embarrass the justices on the well of the house during -- union.
Speech on a decision that he found particularly onerous and that was ironically.
Such is supporting tax even though he himself.
Is this a stick supporting -- today that fast forward to today talking about.
The justices should go too far and at this would have looked like a political -- -- -- just paraphrasing here.
Does he damaged -- whatever good Willie might have.
Went -- justices no matter their political leanings with this kind of talk that they're gonna -- a little 60.
That that.
Well I think that the -- the five judges of the court that are most likely to file the constitution.
Are far above any pettiness already taking into consideration.
What the president had to say.
But I think in effect he has weakened his own position.
A by his extreme statements.
And I think he has had done great damage to his cause -- particularly as far as the people are concerned.
And that -- -- subliminally but some justices may not like it.
But all of them I think will rise above it what is real activism I think is the clear idea that there -- justices on the court.
Who from the start but -- not interested in finding out information during the oral argument but actually advocating a position.
Even to the point of trying to help the poor that's solicitor general and I when he was floundering at one point.
-- that was very weird you're right about that.

Welcome to the first of hopefully many comic reviews here on the Earth Station One. My name is Chuck Peters.

So let's get to it. First up: Batgirl #1!
As most you may know, Barbara Gordon is back as Batgirl in the new 52, the reboot event so big DC comics old logo couldn't survive it. Before we get into the comic itself, how about a little background on Ms. Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl.
"A prodigy ahead of her time? Check. Fought toe-to-toe with Gotham's most unsavory? Double-check. Bailed out the Dark Knight on countless occasions? Capital C check.
Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, a confident young woman as committed to justice as her father, Gotham City's top cop Commissioner Gordon. But when her overprotective Dad forbids her from joining the force, her admiration of Batman leads her to rebel the way crime-fighting rebels do in Gotham City: by picking up the mantle of the Bat.
An exceptional fighter and detective, Batgirl is also unparalleled in her computer skills. With a Utility Belt filled with Batarangs and her own Batcycle to speed her across the city, she pursues justice regardless of whether others—including Batman—wish her to. But Gotham's criminals are a ruthless and maniacal lot, and every moment she risks her neck means dancing closer to death. (Taken from the DC Webpage)"
What is missing is the life before the 52 that you need to know: How the Joker arrived at her doorstep. How he shot her through the spinal cord and from that point forward, she became the Oracle, Batman's eyes and ears over Gotham.
Since the birth of the new 52, Barbara Gordon is back in the cowl so let's look at Batgirl #1.
Barbara is back patrolling the night skies when her path converges with that of a new killer: The Mirror. Finding her way to the home of Ortegas, she encounters the Brisby Killers, a group of young people posing in cheap costumes who love to commit home invasions and murder. A group who has also fallen onto the radar of The Mirror.
After her foiling of the Brisby killers at the Ortega house, Barbara finally gets out on her own and moved in with an actual roommate. Things are going fairly well when her phone, tapped into her father's emergency texts, alerts her to a terrorist ordeal at the hospital, where the last surviving member of the Brisby Killers is being treated. She grabs her Batcycle and races for the hospital.
The hospital is a shambles, one cop is dead and Batgirl comes face to face with the mirror. The Mirror is after those that should have died and with a gun pointed at Batgirl's spine, he kills the last member of the Brisby killers…and she's next.
The first issue is very appealing in the sense that it almost feels like Spider-Man. As Batgirl, she's getting on her feet and getting used to what it's like out on the city scape but as Barbara Gordon, she's living with her father Jim and moving out on to her own.
So far I'm enthused about the book but I'm not overly impressed. The beginning is very luke warm but thankfully, not cold. When she's Batgirl, I'm not feeling too much of a difference between her and Batman, a little more sarcasm but it
doesn't feel…different. I'm more interested in the story behind the cowl right now. I like the concept of Barabara dealing with being the Batgirl but having a life and that is what the first book hints at.
I am intrigued enough to keep reading.
Tune in for the next episode when I take at look at A VS X and reveal one of my favorite older issues from off the shelf. In the meantime, I'm Chuck'N Comics. Later.

RENO, Nev. and TAHOE, Nev., Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Progress and next steps to develop lower-cost proton cancer therapy was the topic of discussion at an international initiative meeting on Friday, September 20th, 2013.
Moataz Karmalawy, Ph.D., Vice President and General Manager Worldwide Particle Therapy for Varian Medical Systems (http://www.varian.com/us/oncology/treatments/treatment_techniques/proton_therapy/) shared that proton therapy, in addition to its current treatment role world-wide, will likely play an even bigger role in the future of cancer therapy due to the benefit of increased accuracy and reduced side effects.
About Proton Therapy:
Proton therapy provides advantage over traditional radiation therapy in that it deposits most of its energy at the location of a tumor. In addition to many other treatments, proton therapy shows promise for lung and liver cancers, head and neck cancers and for the treatment of children. There are still only a limited number of facilities worldwide that can perform proton therapy because of the large and specialized building requirements and overall system cost. The laser-based proton source concept may be suited for improved proton therapy both in regard to improving access through reduced system size and cost as well as through added system capability.
About the Clinical Laser-Proton Therapy Working Group:
The group (http://www.laserprotontherapy.com/aboutus.html) was founded in 2011 and is dedicated to the coordination and application of government funding, private investment, and corporate investment to evaluate viability, design a path, and develop clinical laser-based proton sources for tumor therapy. Discussions are currently underway with potential corporate development and private investment partners. Additional partners in the cancer research foundation and philanthropic spaces are also being sought in order to accelerate this investigation.
The group has collectively invested more than one million dollars into accelerating the assessment of this technology pathway. Some of the group members participated in obtaining a promising initial result in 2009 with the generation of 67.5 MeV laser-based protons from structured laser targets. (http://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=14425)
Attendees or participants from the July, 2011 and September, 2013 group meetings include representation from Fox Chase Cancer Center, SCHOTT North America, Inc., National Energetics, University of Texas, Nanolabz, University of Nevada, Reno, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Kirk-Brown Consulting, Central Laser Facility, Varian Medical Systems, Logos Technologies, Imprimis Consulting, SpecTIR, LLC, and the University of Glasgow.

HELSINKI (AP) — Two leading international innovators, Linus Torvalds and Shinya Yamanaka, have shared this year's €1.2 million ($1.5 million) Millennium Technology Prize.
Torvalds, a Finnish-American, was presented the prize for creating the Linux kernel, an open source operating system used in millions of computers. Yamanaka, from Japan, was cited for his discovery of a new method to develop stem cells, which has helped scientists in medical research.
Finnish President Sauli Niinisto presented the prize to the two winners in Helsinki on Wednesday.
The Finnish government and local industry initiated the biennial award in 2004. Previous winners include Japan's Shuji Nakamura for inventions in laser technology and LED lighting, and Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the World Wide Web.

Expect President Barack Obama to use the final presidential debate Monday night to question how Governor Mitt Romney would handle foreign policy differently than his administration has and prod him over whether he would keep the country in "endless" war.
According to Obama aides, look for the president to press Romney to explain whether he'd quickly enter into a military conflict with Iran, invest U.S. resources in Syria and keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan indefinitely.
Regarding reports that the US may engage Iran in one-on-one talks about their nuclear program after the election, the White House believes it would be irresponsible to refuse to talk to Iran and then have a military conflict, an Obama administration official tells CNN. But this same aide says the president believes there's time and space for diplomacy, and sanctions are designed to pressure Iran to come back to the table.
After the fireworks at the last debate over the security situation in Benghazi and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya, expect that issue to be front and center Monday night as well.
Multiple administration officials have maintained all along that the president was telling the public just what he was learning about the Benghazi attack from the intelligence community. These officials say his story didn't change until the intelligence formally changed.

In "Are We Safer? An Online Symposium on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11," Center for Security Policy.
September 8, 2011
by Christopher Ford
Ten years after the grim September morning on which Islamist terrorists smashed hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan and into the Pentagon — and failed to fly a fourth into the Capitol or the White House — Americans have cause to reflect with pride on their government's successful prevention of further attacks.
On this anniversary, of course, the media will surely serve up a smorgasbord of analyses encour- aging reflection upon everything objectionable about the U.S. "war on terrorism." While there remains much to debate, however, it is difficult to get around the fact that the much-feared "9/11" follow-up strikes have not occurred. To be sure, a jihadist U.S. Army major murdered 12 of his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood, and yes, terrorists continue to exact a toll upon U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. For the most part, however, the additional homeland attacks we all imagined after September 2001 — and which President George W. Bush once described as his greatest nightmare — are a story of the dog that did not bark. And the reason it did not bark has to do with how resolutely and effectively the U.S. Government responded in tightening domestic security and "taking the fight to the terrorists" overseas.
I'll grant that we've also been lucky. We were lucky that the "shoe bomber" failed to ignite the plastic explosive in his sneakers, lucky that the "underwear bomber" similarly botched his crotch bomb, and lucky that the "Times Square bomber" bollixed up the timer for his car full of explosives. But the oddball tactics explored by terrorists still aiming to knock U.S. airliners out of the sky highlight the jihadists' desperation, and the fact that so many more "normal" avenues of attack have now been closed. Security is vastly improved, people are vigilant, and the terrorists are being kept off balance by aggressive countermoves that have made it much harder to operate from foreign sanctuaries.
There is a temptation, in conservative circles, to give the Bush Administration all the credit for this. After all, it was the one that made the toughest calls, and it was for its pains excoriated in the international and domestic media for an excess of bloody-minded ruthlessness. Nor can one avoid being struck by the degree to which, after some strident anti-Bush rhetoric and political posturing, the administration of Barack Obama has come to embrace most of the counter-terrorist policies of its predecessor. The prison at Guantánamo Bay remains open, for instance, and terrorists are still subject to potentially permanent detention there or elsewhere; military commissions are still being used to try terrorist suspects; CIA-facilitated "renditions" still sometimes occur; domestic electronic surveillance is today conducted on a considerably broader basis than before 9/11; and security and passenger pre-screening for air transportation is ubiquitous and intrusive. In fact, some controversial Bush-era tactics have been not merely validated by the Obama Administration but today greatly expanded — most notably, the policy of carrying out targeted killings of terrorist operatives by drone aircraft or special operations forces, which today occurs with a frequency, and in a number of countries, notably greater than when Bush left office. (As recently illustrated by the case of clerical firebrand Anwar al-Awlaki, even U.S. citizens can be targeted if they throw their lot in with the terrorists.)
But while conservatives can be forgiven for sneering a bit at the way the Obama Administration's moralistic self-righteousness has been succeeded by a quiet, almost embarrassed validation of Bush-era counter-terrorist policy, we need to give credit where credit is due. Bush policies did not adopt themselves; they were chosen, and it cannot have been easy for Obama's team to swallow that pill. As a result, however, it is now possible to point to a bipartisan American approach to counter-terrorism. (In a backhanded way, the current administration has in this respect — albeit perhaps in this one only — lived up to its self-congratulatory hype as a purveyor of "post-partisan" policy.) We conservatives should not demean this, for it is significant.
To be sure, ten years after 9/11, we are a grimmer polity than we were, and some innocence has surely been lost. America has become a country that routinely hunts down and kills individual terrorist enemies overseas — apparently now in preference to capturing and detaining them indefinitely — and its citizens put up with more burdensome security restrictions in transportation and in public places than before, as well as with a somewhat less constricted system of domestic electronic surveillance. There is something to mourn in these shifts.
But there is also much of which we should be proud, for although the terrorists were able to slaughter more than 3,000 Americans over the space of a few hours in 2001, their ambitions to inflict more such grievous blows upon the U.S. homeland have been stymied ever since. We may have lost some innocence, moreover, but America still remains a bastion of civil and political freedom and a locus of economic opportunity in a world not precisely overflowing with either of these things. Liberal political hyperbole aside, we have not "become our enemies," and we remain a free people with a vibrant society.
It is a mark of the success of the United States' tough-minded — and now, if belatedly, bipartisan — approach to counter-terrorism that our most pressing political issues today are the domestic challenges of debt, job creation, unsustainable entitlement spending, and the appropriate size of government. After a decade of having avoided further mass-casualty international terrorist outrages on our soil after 9/11, we are happily in a position in which it is possible to imagine having another such decade ahead, in which we can remain free to grapple with such parochial issues without airliners landing upon our heads.

One very nice Internet resource related to fish books (and magazines) was created by my friend Ken Ruzek. It is called the Master Index of Freshwater Fishes (MIFF). It is located here: http://www.webcityof.com/mifftitl.htm If we look up Chalceus macrolepidotus in MIFF, we find this:Chalceus macrolepidotus
(Cuvier 1817, JG:254, Bi:76, Ge:342, B3:108 Chalceus erythrurus ?, B1:244, AS:183, SS:34, AxB:151, Ve:34, ABE:335, St:166, Sf:73, Ax6:186, AV:F-165.00, TF:58 2/79) Plethodectes erythrurus, Brycon erythrurus, Pellegrina heterolepsis, Chalceus ararapeera, Brycon macrolepidotus, Creagrutus pellegrini "Yellow-Finned Chalceus" "Pink-Tailed Characin" "Pink-Tailed Chalceus" `Glanzsalmler` `Südamerikanischer` `Großschuppensalmler` `Schlanksalmler`
Everything in parenthesis is references to books and magazines. One very notable part of this list of references is "Ax6:186" which decodes to page 186 (and following) in "Axelrod, Herbert R. 1980: Breeding Aquarium Fishes, Book 6 (T.F.H. H995) , T. F. H. Publications, NJ. Pages 285." Since this is a reference to a book on fish breeding in aquaria, it would be a good place to start looking. Fortunately, Lisa already did since she has all these books memorized and doesn't need the MIFF!
Interesting resource, thanks for sharing Dean.

Love this product
By Sophie
from Orillia, Ontario
I ordered this kit because cleaning surfaces without use of chemicals is very important to me. My windows, computer screens, sunglasses, jewellery, all of these items come clean quickly and to perfection. Definitely a staple in the cleaning cupboard!
great product
By razor
from Banff AB.
cleans like the larger cloths. I cleaned my computer monitor and it looks great. I cleaned my eye glasses and they smeared and left water spots, but when they dried were crystal clear except with a little smudge which got cleaned off with another swish of the cloth.

By Sheila
from Abbotsford BC
These are the best cloths we have ever used! I bought them and loved them so much, bought another package so we had lots. Our adult children have all tried them and are totally sold - they have young children and this cuts the cleaning time in half. They are unbelievable on everything but the best thing ever for stainless appliances! My sister in California had me order several packages and she has given them to all her kids who all love them!

The BEST cleaning cloths!!!
By loogin
from BC
I use these on everything!!! Chrome, glass, mirrors, computer, ceramic tiles and fine china etc. There are really too many things to list. The cloth cleans streak free & lint free. You really only need to use water and nothing else. I haven't washed floors with it but you probably could if you wanted to. I do not have any complaints about the cloths.
