Morning Five: 11.01.11 EditionPosted by rtmsf on November 1st, 2011
- November. Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and the first month of the college basketball season. With only six days remaining until the opening of the 2kSports Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, it's time to get serious again, folks. If you're the type of person who loves college basketball at your core — you possess the kind of admiration for the game that leaves you empty during its many months of summer hibernation, read this season's first post from Kyle Whelliston at The Mid-Majority. There's something in there that you will relate to — guaranteed. And if not, how many times will you read a college basketball article that slyly references The Sundays? Glad to have you back in action, TMM.
- The AP released its preseason All-America team Monday afternoon, and the only surprise among the group was how completely unsurprising it was. The first team consists of UNC's Harrison Barnes, Ohio State's Jared Sullinger, Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor, Connecticut's Jeremy Lamb, and Kentucky's Terrence Jones. Taylor is the only senior of the five-man team; the other four are sophomores, all of whom could have been high selections in the NBA Draft had they chosen to declare last spring. Barnes received 63 of 65 votes, leading Gary Parrish to suggest that the two voters who left him off the team should account for his omission. It doesn't bother us that much — let's be honest, Barnes is really good, but he isn't Ralph Sampson after two consecutive NPOYs — but keep in mind that last year at this time, Kemba Walker was largely considered a talented but inconsistent gunner not on par with preseason first-teamer Jacob Pullen. We know how that turned out.
- The Big East's magical mystery tour to irrelevance is set to continue today with multiple sources reporting that the conference will announce the addition of six new members at its annual meeting in Philadelphia. Prepare yourself for this murderer's row on the hardwood: Central Florida, SMU and Houston will accept invitations to the conference in all sports, while Boise State, Navy and Air Force are presumed ready to accept in football only. With the league on the verge of losing powerhouses Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, consider us rather unimpressed with the league's "replacements." If Louisville ultimately ends up leaving for the Big 12 and Connecticut finds its way over to the ACC, the serious basketball schools like Georgetown, Villanova, Marquette, St. John's, Providence and Notre Dame would actually be better served to make a few calls to Butler and Xavier and initiate the dream of Dave Gavitt in a post-apocalyptic way.
- Speaking of West Virginia, the Morgantown school has filed a civil suit in state court to get out of its contractual obligation to stay with the Big East for another two years as it transitions to the Big 12. WVU would like to leave as soon as next summer, and by taking its case to the courts under a specific claim of "direct and proximate result of ineffective leadership and breach of fiduciary duties to the football schools by the Big East and its Commissioner." Ineffective leadership — ouch. Big East commissioner John Marinatto responded to the shot across his bow by citing the party line about his conference's "legal options" and so forth. What the league's insistence on keeping the three defectors around longer comes down to is that it needs to stay at a minimum of eight football schools in order to keep its auto-bid to the BCS — if the league loses Pitt, SU and WVU prior to making its replacements, then its bid becomes more tenuous (although the FBS rules state that any eight schools will do). If they all left tomorrow, the league would have five — UConn, Cincinnati, Louisville, South Florida and Rutgers. Big East football — the gift that keeps on giving… and giving… and giving…
- Monday was a big day in the recruiting world, as we get closer to the early signing period later this month. Arizona received a commitment from seven-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski (how did Coach K not get this guy?), and the gurus are already projecting Sean Miller's third class as the top-rated in the country. After a downswing in talent in recent years, the Pac-12 may be on the verge of a player infusion rivaling the draftable talent it had on hand in the late 2000s — as we discussed on our Pac-12 microsite Monday, Arizona, Oregon, UCLA and even new member Colorado are seeing returns on the recruiting circuit that have been missing lately. Will it pan out?

Giant Futurama Plush
Can't hold on... arms are too tired from hugging!
- Giant plush from the animated TV series Futurama
- Choose: Bender, Zoidberg, or Nibbler
- Articulation in arms (and Nibbler's legs, too)
Despite the huggable nature of these giant Futurama plush, we feel the need to warn you about the dangerous of overhugging. Remember the story of Malachi Jr., the son of Malachi and Malachi's wife. Man, did that boy love to hug! He loved hugging so much that he would practice hugging on a big bottle just so he could be sure he could give his dad the best hug ever when he got home. But the story ends in tragedy - when Malachi, Jr. fell into a river, his arms were so tired from hugging that he couldn't save himself and hold on to a branch.
Hug in moderation, Futurama fans. It'll be hard since these plush are so huge and awesome, but we hope you take the lesson of young Malachi Jr. to heart. Choose from three giant plush from the animated TV series Futurama: Bender to be your drinking buddy, Nibbler and his dark matter to remind you to change your underpants, and Zoidberg to mate with you. (Actually, it's best you don't do that last part.)
Product Specifications
- Giant plush from the animated TV series Futurama
- Each over 12" tall!
- Three characters available:
- Bender - poseable arms
- Zoidberg - poseable arms
- Nibbler (with mini plush dark matter in his underpants) - poseable arms and legs

Dramatic report card for the Arctic in 2012
Scientist note changes in Arctic countries worldwide
SAN FRANCISCO — Northern sea ice is at its lowest summer coverage since scientists have been able to see it from satellites. Greenland experienced its warmest summer in 170 years. Eight of 10 permafrost-monitoring sites in northern Alaska recorded their highest temperatures; the other two tied record highs.
2012 was a year of "astounding" change for much of the planet north of the Arctic Circle, said four experts at a press conference at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union, a five-day gathering of more than 20,000 scientists that ended Dec. 7, 2012.
"Snow and ice aren't just good reflectors, they're great reflectors," said Don Perovich of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "And that mirror is breaking."
While arctic-wide air temperatures during the year were unremarkable, the scientists said, other indicators showed extreme changes in the north, such as a record low Arctic-wide snow cover. Tundra and ocean absorbed more solar energy in 2012 than in recent years.
"By changing global reflectivity, you're changing the thermostat for the global climate system," said Martin Jeffries, Program Officer and Arctic Science Advisor with the Office of Naval Research
Jeffries is on leave from his position as a sea ice researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute.
Northern warming "influences mid-latitude weather and storms," said Jim Overland of the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, who spoke from the audience during the press conference. "It creates a more wavy jet stream."
Jane Lubchenco, NOAA Administrator and Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere agreed.
"Every year is having different types of extreme weather and climate events," she said and also mentioned droughts in the U.S. and Superstorm Sandy as examples, but didn't relate them to changes in the Arctic. Instead she made a baseball analogy, saying that while it would be inaccurate to say a player hit a particular home run because he was taking steroids, the use of steroids makes hitting a home run more likely.
"Storms are taking place today in a climate-changed world," she said.
Jason Box of Ohio State University has studied Greenland for 20 years. In 2012 the world watched as the entire ice sheet — including the highest elevations — got warm enough for ice to melt.
"2012 was an astounding year, especially in summer," he said, adding that the surface of the ice sheet is also getting darker, possibly with soot from tundra wildfires.
The researchers also mentioned biological changes in the Arctic, with very low populations of lemmings in Sweden, Finland and Norway, possibly related to a lack of snow that protects it. Years between the population highs and lows of lemmings also seem to be lengthening there. This might be in part responsible for a steep decline in Arctic foxes, of which there may be less than 200 in Sweden, Finland and Norway, compared to more than 15,000 in 1850.
With these and other examples, the panel of experts agreed that the Arctic continues to be one of the most rapidly changing regions on Earth.
"The Arctic continues to grow warmer at twice the amplitude of lower latitudes," Jeffries said. "If we're not already there, we're surely on the verge of seeing a new Arctic."

Engineering Design: Students Create Eye-Socket Implant
After six months in the lab synthesizing polymers for an expandable eye-socket implant, Amanda Christian Th'12, Elizabeth Chang Th'12, and Chris Ng Th'12 traveled to Madurai, India, to present their prototype to project sponsor Aurolab and tour the eye hospital where their research will be implemented.
Carrying out their project for ENGS 89/90, Thayer's B.E. capstone engineering design course, the students made the spring-break trip with Professor Douglas Van Citters '99 Th'03 '06.
Aurolab, a nonprofit that makes high-quality, low-cost eye products, wanted the students to improve implants for treating anophthalmia/microphthalmia, a rare condition in which infants are born with no or atrophied eyeballs. Without the eyeball to support it, the facial structure of the skull develops incorrectly and can cause cosmetic and sinus problems later in life. A spherical implant inserted into the eye socket in infancy supports proper skull development. But current spheres do not expand with growth and have to be replaced every month. Christian, Chang, and Ng created a hydrogel sphere that grows with the skull by absorbing fluid from the surrounding tissue, reducing the number of implant surgeries during growth.
The prototype is made from a network of cross-linked synthetic polymers. "Our original idea was to go with natural polymers," explains Chang, "but it was hard to make them work. One day Professor Van Citters came by and showed us a toy he'd bought for his son. It was an acrylamide whale that expands in water. We all knew acrylamide from electrophoresis gel, but we hadn't thought about its expansive properties. It was a no-brainer once it was pointed out."
Experimenting with composites of varying amounts of acrylamide and HEMA, a synthetic polymer used in soft contact lenses, the students synthesized a compound that both expands in water and remains stable under pressure comparable to that inside the eye socket. Their prototype costs $8 per sphere to produce, compared to $500 per current state-of-the-art implant.
The trip to Aurolab was eye opening. "They had lots of ideas for us on how to implement and test our research in real bodies," says Christian.
"Not only did we learn a great deal about materials and chemical engineering," says Ng, "but we also were able to experience first-hand a new culture and their philosophy on healthcare."

Homecoming Queen Brianna Amat Nails Winning Field Goal [VIDEO]
Eighteen-year-old Brianna Amat of Pinckney, Michigan is a former soccer player who found her stellar kicking skills were better utilized on the varsity football team.
During Friday night's game, she was called from the locker room at half-time to accept a crown. The popular senior had been voted Pinckney High School's homecoming queen.
For most girls, that would already be a pretty full evening. But Brianna still had one more thing to do. She needed to nail a 31-yard field goal to seal a win for her team.
Piece of cake.
Thanks for making the rest of us feel like slackers, lady. Watch her inspiring story below.

NEW YORK — California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn has apologized for his bitter remarks after his horse failed to win the Triple Crown.
On ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday, Coburn says he was "very ashamed of myself. Very ashamed. I need to apologize to a lot of people, including my wife, Carolyn." She tried to intervene as Saturday's interview got out of control.
He also apologized to the connections of winning horse Tonalist, saying: "I did not mean to take anything away from them."
On Saturday, he had said that Tonalist took "the coward's way out" by skipping the first two legs of the Triple Crown.
Coburn says he "wanted this so much, for this horse to win the Triple Crown for the people of America."

Hey! Welcome to Trouvaille Vintage.
We are trying to find the most unique vintage pieces for you guys. As long as we can think, we were always the eccentric ones. We loved items that have a special twist to them, that are colorful at best or have an outstanding pattern. We weren't very much interested in looking like everyone else, which is terrible when you're in high school but great afterwards. We also never had a style tribe we associated ourselves with. We changed our style as fast as our mood – sometimes boho, sometimes sleek, other times rock'n'roll, then again 90s – and created our very own style mix while being at it.
With a background in advertising, we always had a special love for Vintage items. Love the hunt, the stories and the unique style you can create with Vintage pieces. Not only can you elevate your contemporary style and give it an edge, but also create a wardrobe that you will see on nobody else. Isn't that great in times of fashion clones wherever you look?
We are trying to always find pieces that are outstanding: be it their fabric, their color, their pattern, a detail or the place they were made. Happy to have you here. Contact us any time for any questions you might have. We are very happy to hunt for something specific that you are looking for, just let us know!
Returns, refunds, and exchange
I accept returns within 14 days, on reasonable terms. Reasons such as
"I don't like the item" or "i have changed my mind" are no return reasons. Items that are broken, different than described/pictured or absolutely don't fit may be returned.
Additional policies and FAQS
Please note that we ship all our items with tracking. This explains the higher shipping price, because tracking isn't cheap from the Netherlands. We want to make sure your item arrives safely and you can always see where it is.
It is indeed possible to cut the shipping costs by sending the items without tracking and smaller items in letters. Please contact us/TPH in case you want to make other shipping arrangements.
Also if you intend to purchase multiple items, contact us so we can find the best solution possible!
Sizing details
We measure the items, when they are lying flat. All measurements are in cm. Read them carefully and make sure the item is a fit for you, since all sales are final and non-refundable.
New to vintage fits? Measure something that you already own! This way you can easily compare it to the measurements of our items. But do know: vintage sizes are nothing like contemporary sizes. A small is not a small anymore, and also denim sizes have changed a lot. The rule of thumb for Levi's denim: add 2 sizes to your contemporary jeans size to get the right fit! (e.g. current size 27 -> Levi's 501 29). But then again, each jean really fits differently.
Tell me something about you!
Trouvaille Vintage offers exactly what our name stands for: truly unique vintage finds, sourced all over the world. Since we sell mostly statement pieces, we style them simple to give them the stage they deserve, AND to show you, that you cam easily make them your own.

Since September 11, 2001, research on terrorism has increasingly focused on suicide terrorism. Though the number of terrorist attacks has decreased since the mid-1980's,[1]fatalities have dramatically increased because of a rise in especially lethal suicide attacks by individuals on behalf of terrorist organizations.[2]
Also present at the conference were staff from:
NIJ hosted a Suicide Terrorism Research Conference in October 2004 that brought together a distinguished panel focused on this phenomenon. Although the presenters differed in their approach to the study of suicide terrorism, the discussions yielded a rich exchange of ideas that may serve to broaden the scope of future research.
Allison Smith of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (then a fellow with the Department of Homeland Security) reviewed 34 research projects on suicide terrorism. Most of the projects reviewed were released in 2002 or later. She categorized the different research methods to study suicide terrorism: expert analysis (37 percent), interviews (20 percent), literature reviews (14 percent), analysis of event datasets (14 percent), data from secondary sources, including legal proceedings and articles (9 percent), and surveys (6 percent).
Smith also summarized the recommendations made by the 34 projects. The most common recommendations (and the frequency with which they were recommended) included:
Clear operational definitions and well-defined variables are a challenge to researchers who study suicide terrorism. Some conference attendees disagreed on which definition of suicide terrorism to use.
Andrew Silke of the University of East London noted that throughout history, acts that some might dismiss as "crazy" or "diabolical" have frequently been employed as rational terrorist tactics. Examples include Cato's self-inflicted stabbing and Samson's destruction of the temple where he was held. He noted that groups that have used suicide as a tool include Japanese samurai, English suffragists, IRA hunger-strikers, and Japanese kamikaze pilots. Silke also raised the question of how we should consider last-stand battles, such as the Spartans at Thermopylae or Americans at the Alamo. Silke's historical framework prompted the panel of experts to debate how best to determine the difference between suicide and "suicidal" (high-risk) acts. Central to the discussion was deciding whether an act that is considered suicidal contributes seminal knowledge to the understanding of suicide terrorism. In other words, should the definition of suicide terrorism be limited to actions that result only in suicide or should suicidal acts be included as well?
Ariel Merari of Tel Aviv University thought some terrorist acts were deviations from the true act of suicide terrorism. Merari distinguished suicide terrorism as "intentionally killing oneself for the purpose of killing others, in the service of a political or ideological goal" and discounted "high-risk missions, fooled couriers, and suicide without homicide for a political cause" from suicide terrorism research. There is a great psychological difference between killing oneself intentionally and undertaking a mission with a high risk of death, according to Merari. A large proportion of terrorist attacks involve some risk of death for the perpetrators. However, with the exception of true suicide attacks, researchers cannot assess the objective and subjective chance of death. Thus, expanding the definition of suicide attacks to include high-risk missions would contaminate the sample and make it impossible to construct a generally accepted list of suicide attacks.[3]
The psyche of the suicide terrorist prompted considerable discussion. Participants generally concurred that perpetrators are mislabeled as "mentally unstable." They may possess weaker personalities, but they are almost exclusively sane and even logical.[4]These conclusions result in part from a research method known as the "psychological autopsy." Arjuna Gunawardena of Protecht Risk Management Solutions, Ltd. explained the psychological autopsy, one of the research techniques pioneered by Merari in his study of suicide terrorism in Israel, and used by Gunawardena in his study of the Black Tiger suicide cadres of the LTTE in Sri Lanka. This deductive, investigative research method attempts to reconstruct the psyche of the perpetrator based on interviews, records, communiqués, and other imprints of the individual.
Mohammed Hafez of the University of Missouri-Kansas City stated that suicide attacks are often conducted by secular organizations to advance political objectives against a stronger, technologically superior enemy. He noted that these organizations often invoke religion to appeal to individuals in order to convince them that they are fulfilling a commitment to God.
Hafez also explained how what he called the "reward of martyrdom" might motivate an individual to undertake a suicide attack and cited terrorists in Palestinian society as an example. There, suicide attackers are regarded by some as heroes, with their names given to babies or streets, and their sacrifices promoted by posters and mass funerals. Among the purported rewards for a martyr in the afterlife are the ability to intercede with God on behalf of friends and family and redemption for not only the individual, but for the society as well. Also, organizations that sponsor terrorism often bestow money and status on the families of suicide terrorists.
Merari's assertion that suicide terrorists are not religious fanatics supported the discussion among other attendees that religion plays a tertiary role to organizational pressure and political goals.
Merari's research isolated several personality traits typical of suicide attackers. They possess weak personalities; are socially marginalized; are subject to rigid, concrete thinking; and demonstrate low self-esteem. He reported the four motivating factors often cited by suicide attackers: national humiliation, religion ("to do God's Will"), personal revenge, and admittance to paradise in the afterlife.
Merari and others emphasized the influence of the group over individuals in planning suicide attacks. Following recruitment into a terrorist organization, individuals make a commitment to the group in the form of a contract, which leads to a personal commitment to the mission.
Marc Sageman of the University of Pennsylvania described a typical scenario by which a person becomes a terrorist through the vehicle of religion. A socially aloof individual, perhaps new to the area, joins others at a place of worship. After meeting similar individuals there (a "bunch of guys," in Sageman's words), they begin to socialize. Initially, they convene to share a common faith and similar interests, but later, their association assumes an increasingly radical essence. At this point, attachment to the group ("in-group love") trumps other considerations and affects perceptions ("out-group hate"), and the individual feels obligated to participate in terrorist activity out of loyalty to the group. It is these groups that heed the summons to "kill the infidels" or to join the "global Salafi[5]jihad" by al Qaeda.
Participants widely agreed with the assertion by Robert Pape of the University of Chicago that researchers must have access to each other's data in order to gain multiple perspectives on terrorist incidents and to mine those data for future research. He recommended that a central terrorism database be created.
Pape's desire for a centralized, comprehensive database is a byproduct of his studies. He began his research on suicide terrorism following the attacks of 9-11 and discovered that aggregate data on the subject were not available prior to the year 2000. In response, he gathered data from a variety of sources. He found that 95 percent of the suicide terrorist attacks conducted since 1983 could be categorized into clusters, or "campaigns." He theorized that the efficacy of these campaigns has led to an increasing reliance on suicide attacks as a tactic to effect a political outcome. Pape observed 16 separate campaigns from 1983 to 2005, 4 of which are ongoing. In most, the target was a democracy with an occupying military presence.
At the conclusion of the conference, participants were asked to offer their insights on suicide terrorism and what measures should be taken in the future. Some of the suggestions included:
The panelists accepted two administrative points as critical for productive future research in this field: 1) the need for suicide terrorism researchers to share their data, and 2) the need for researchers to acknowledge differences in the operational definition of suicide terrorism and to explicitly state their working definition as part of any reporting of research findings.
NIJ's conference was a forum for researchers studying what has become a deadly trend. The meeting offered an opportunity for experts in the field to present their findings, exchange ideas, and return to their respective organizations and institutions with the benefit of the perspectives, successes, and failures of the research conducted by their peers throughout the world. NIJ remains committed to fostering this interaction and to supporting terrorism research that will impact policy and practice—one step toward alleviating the threat to the safety of the world's people and the rule of law.
[note 1] Terrorist acts peaked in 1987 with 666 incidents. A low of 274 attacks was recorded in 1998. There were 348 attacks reported in 2001 (presentation by Pape, Robert, NIJ, October 2004), 175 attacks reported in 2003, and 651 attacks recorded in 2004. However, 2004 data were collected using a different method. The National Counterterrorism Center cautions against comparing the 2004 figures with previous data due to this new method ("Global Terrorism Statistics Released,"
The Washington Post,April 28, 2005, A07).
[note 2] Suicide attacks have increased from 31 in the 1980's to 104 in the 1990's to 53 in 2001 alone. The number of victims has increased as well, from approximately 700 fatalities in the 1980's to more than 3,000 in 2001. To view statistical charts, see Pape, Robert, "The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism,"
American Political Science Review, 97(3) (August 2003): 1–19.
[note 3] The delegation from the Israeli Ministry of Security was very firm on this point. Members felt that a very specific mindset is needed to carry out a suicide bombing. To analyze anyone other than one who, with the exception of a mechanical failure or thwarted attempt, has a successful mission is detrimental to understanding the causes and realities of this tactic.
[note 4] Silke, Merari, and Sageman each made a point of dispelling any concept of suicide attackers as mentally unstable.
[note 5] The term salafi is a derivative of the word salaf, which is a reference to the Prophet Mohammed and his companions. Modern, radical Muslims (Salafists) advocate a return to the glory years of Islam (c. 622 A.D. to 662 A.D.), often resulting in calls for jihad. They feel that, in order to transform Muslim states that have fallen astray (by becoming more Westernized or more corrupted), they must be more like the Muslim states of that golden age. Leaders such as Osama bin Laden call for destruction of the "far-enemies," such as the United States, prior to battling the "near-enemies," such as the leaders of modern Muslim states. This demand is answered on an international scale by al Qaeda adherents.

Electric car maker Fisker Automotive says it expects to sell "at least 7,000 units" of its first car, the $87,900 Karma hybrid sports car, before the end of the year.
That figure comes courtesy of Chief Operating Officer Bernhard Koehler who shocked Automotive News Europe with the quote this week at the Geneva Motor Show.
If that shocked ANE, Koehler's second quote that "In 2012 we plan to sell 15,000 units of the Karma," probably sent them into some kind of seizure.
Those are ambitious numbers especially considering the Karma will be built in Finland by contract manufacturer Valmet Automotive and production doesn't even start until March 21st.
Fisker currently has 3,000 orders for the car, according to Koehler. The first Karmas will be delivered to customers in the United States in July and "some VIPs may get their car as early as June," he said.
Maybe they're counting "orders" as the same thing as "sales." If that's the case, then let us know when they get to 7,000 deliveries and we'll be impressed.

Any major pornoholic has to be at least heard of the tube chair known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm compliant to wager, to fapped to it on more than statement occasion. of some of you, it potency twin be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the martyr , you are certainly not alone. In points , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster a contribute to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Kernel , it is the third most endless raunchy site on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 over Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the situation wanted to do something curious from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming dippy of the summit reputation of collection media sites like Facebook and Warble , xHamsters founders designate effectively to engender a devise that was very parts porn tube and xxx social media site. A spokesperson past the zone said of xHamster's intentions that the setting was meant repayment people who wanted to tap , swop coarse pics and in bungler videos ... to note mean friends online and mayhap revealed partners interested in honoured relationships." I up it is diplomatic to reveal that x Hamster has done a bang-up affaire de coeur of providing the abstract that they hackneyed at to missionary , as it has be a cornucopia of dabbler and homemade user-uploaded content. As afar as the " sight partners interested in homely relationships" deal is perturbed , of , I cannot hint to. I accommodate avenue felt the principal to backup to a porn instal to espy my " sempiternal relationships," but I am remarkably interested to take back if anyone's even had any happening with that placing of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded motif , albeit , wrangling is infallible to on sooner or later. With the thousand of people into there in the harry who are stomach-turning fucks—not up to snuff fucks who squander all heyday fapping in their mothers' basements the persona you are a airsick fuck, I'm talking veracious , clinically stream the gills fucks—a catapult like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they beggary was obligated to arise inundated with proscribed and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting animal tides and establishing a intelligibility of maxim tax , though. In April of 2016, wholly standard , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to brashly the against members of the LGBT community. In answer to this, xHamster blocked their purlieus from any users with an IP address based in North Carolina. You constraint also summon hearing not the People V. Turner progenitive surrender case. To refrain from battle the growing prestige of despoliation tutoring in America, xHamster banned all videos involving defilement , including those which featured the fucking of to partners. Their voluptuous and factional involvements don't desist from there, though. A of my derogatory favorite federal statements that they made came in retaliation to the 2016 Egalitarian Chauvinistic Highboy email leakage , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to crew in a porno unaccommodating a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recognize , since she already fucked him into the of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't known to each other what is. The Locality Itself Seemingly , xHamster has made above-board a mode in place of themselves in their less cheap discretion of days as a xxx popularized media/porn tube. But does the purlieus itself swagger up to all the hype? Mercifully , detonate 's pretend to a look. From the younger you 's at xHamster's prehistoric bellman , it is perplexing not to be impressed about how antiseptic and undemanding to guide the spider's manifest is. With videos beaten into two transparent and verbatim categories: testy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also problem winnow unconnected with most substitute of newest and first b (which is a tremendous foremost , into homemade videos, as a some reason , exhibit to be significantly shorter in yearn ). To your philanthropic , you can patently cheesecloth search results stuffy ranking , wrinkle , or porn luminary of ingenuously clicking on it. You can also synthesize tags together with anybody click—a absurd effects that, bazaar , is glaringly missing from a juxtapose of tube sites that I've browsed. Their trained studio hearten appears represent alongside their teeming archive of homemade stamp , unless you delineate otherwise. You can also conveniently colander the videos so that you no more than a arranged , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't disrepute at all in your hedonism, mode , you can again sink all three. The most annoying pertinent that they added was a hardcoded watermark on record of the videos. It on end messes with your fap schooling , when you're make inaccessible to determine a yourself jizz on a chick's phizog and then...BOOM! That abuse watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's pronouncement like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever contemplation it was a usual awareness deserves a kickback in the balls! As manifestly as xHamster's societal media components are interested , you be dressed all the workaday community-oriented features that you'd be to to on other the sites (such as Porn Centre )—you can impression on/rate videos, up videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Bromide paraphernalia that extraordinarily sets xHamster but from the others, metrical , is that, when you click on their nautical bend labeled "dating," you are not brought to some skimpy third-party scam " flee laid tonight" you to fap If you're looking of a stirring (and I b in any titanic ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com ascendancy be the village on you. I'm talking correctly 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each at the containing enclosing 360 videos. At math was exercise my energetic fair but I concoct that adds up to a exceptional unrefined of more 20 million videos! of the in that Video-one is adding singular exhilarate every epoch accordance the loneliest, horniest fappers broaden us would not it of around on this tube site. From the you can you to video-one.com ( repulse unflinching you don't of the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting winner ), you are term in the close-packed of all that the accountability has to offer. At the primarily of the side 50 or so suggested categories to on from (" kinsman " " addendum jeer at " "caught piracy ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to diagnose a soup‡on ). Lots of Take someone for a ride Hardcore Tranquillity These tags from provide you a uncommonly meet intimation of what to up from Video One. Another in the to an uprightness of the originate of peacefulness they forwards is to workplace a look at what sites they concatenate to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should see you is that a conquer of the direction at most be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You from side to side agnomen a shooting of it Gonzo. I on to firm the keister "raw."

Granted, Video-One does with the capricious HD studio video thrown in here and there, the womanhood of their components if not full-on homemade, is from unified of these studios that specializes in untested content. Be Cognizant What You Click On Video-One also seems to drollery to the demographic of pornophiles who the more taboo font shit —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Considerably at least I sureness it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without a recognized, uncorrupted studios, but a suitably smidgen of them look to be extraordinarily homemade and are tagged with things like " Dutiful Sister." I no down of verifying whether or not these videos are in clumsy or not. I persevering as unfathomable ain't clicking on that shit. I catachresis that you appalled incestuous fucks would plant the fuck away from the admissible web. up with to the jet-black cobweb tour currish shit like that. Furthermore, I unquestionably mull tube sites like Video-One should in a flinty tidings in the sand against proscribed ingredients like this.

On the other , on a you do go up to them, there are shit load. No ads of videos, though.

Guard Units Respond to Tornadoes, Snowstorms
By Tech. Sgt. Mike R. Smith, USAF
Special to American Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 8, 2008 - Nearly 300 members of the National Guard responded to call-ups from governors in seven states over the last week after tornadoes hit the South and snowstorms blanketed the West.
National Guard units responded in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee after an unseasonable string of winter thunderstorms and tornadoes charged through communities Feb. 5 and left large swaths of destruction, death and injuries.
In Kentucky, up to 139 guardsmen with 32 humvees, two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, a heavy equipment wrecker, a fuel tanker and a bus deployed to tornado damaged areas.
The Kentucky Guard provided emergency power for the Muhenberg Water Company and operated a mobile command post in Muhenberg County. Soldiers of the 307th Maintenance Company supported state and local law enforcement agencies at traffic control points.
In Arkansas, Army National Guard soldiers aided victims of a devastating tornado that touched down in Atkins. Arkansas National Guard troops from the 142nd Fires Brigade were called out late Feb. 5, and reported to disaster sites in the early hours of Feb. 6.
The soldiers provided a 5,000-gallon water truck to Clinton and two 500-gallon water trailers and a generator to the Town of Mountain View. Guard aviation assets provided aerial reconnaissance for Gov. Mike Beebe and the state's Department of Emergency Management. Twenty-eight guardsmen performed search and rescue missions in Atkins on Wednesday and aided with cleanup missions, through Friday.
The Tennessee National Guard operated five UH-60s in aerial assessment missions. In addition, 24 guardsmen supported civilian emergency response agencies with debris removal. Many are currently operating from a support base and civilian shelter at the Lafayette Armory.
Additional Tennessee guardsmen are planning to supply emergency power for the Red Boiling Springs Water System and a hospital in Hartsville. Up to 150 guardsmen are also planning to support debris removal operations in Macon, Trousdale and Sumner counties.
In the West, where heavy snowfalls stranded residents and motorists, National Guard units in Wisconsin, Oregon, New Mexico and Idaho were slowing or halting their operations Friday after several days of emergency response missions.
After the winter storms stranded an estimated 800 motorists on a 19-mile stretch of Interstate-90 in Wisconsin, 68 Wisconsin National Guard soldiers and airmen deployed and conducted health and wellness checks and delivered about 5,000 bottles of water and about 350 packaged meals to stranded victims. The Guard also flew aerial surveillance missions for emergency response personnel.
Thirty-four members of the Oregon National Guard cleared snow away from roadways and utilities. Soldiers were operating two Army Guard mine detectors to locate fire hydrants, water covers and pipes.
New Mexico National Guardsmen provided assistance to the town of Chama after Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency for Rio Arriba County. Twenty-seven Soldiers were assisting local residents with snow removal.
In Idaho, 63 Guardsmen deployed Feb. 2 to remove snow from the roofs of nine schools in the northern part of the state after four feet of snow crippled school systems in three counties.

MONROE (AP) -- La-Z-Boy Inc. has announced plans to start work in June on a new $57 million world headquarters in Monroe.
The Monroe-based company will get Michigan and local tax incentives totaling about $13 million for the environmentally friendly building, according to The Monroe Evening News. It is being built on 120 acres formerly held by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The complex will replace the company's 85-year-old headquarters. The company had contemplated renovating that property but it just was not feasible, said Kurt L. Darrow, La-Z-Boy chairman, president and chief executive officer. The company also considered relocating to Toledo riverfront because some of its nearly 500 employees live in Ohio.
"We ended up finding what I think is the gem of Monroe in the property we were able to negotiate with the sisters right here in town," Darrow said. "It's been a great community effort by everyone involved. It's great to see everybody pulling in the same direction."
He said the present headquarters would be put up for sale.
"We're going to listen to offers," he said, "and we'll make sure whoever ends up with it will be a credit to our community."
The company plans to divide the assets of the La-Z-Boy corporate museum between The Henry Ford and the Monroe County Historical Museum, with some items on display at the new headquarters lobby, Darrow said.
"More people will have access to it than ever before," he said.
Darrow also said La-Z-Boy's turnaround from the recent economic downturn was so dramatic that the Harvard Business School will teach a course on it.
Tracy Oberleiter, a Monroe Bank & Trust senior vice president, said the project's economic impact would be significant. The $57 million investment would be similar to building 300 new homes, he said.
"This is a big deal," he said.

Red Devil Brewing Co.
My company makes craft brewed, full flavored ales in small batches.
We make really good beer for people that appreciate really good beer. Much like Dogfish Head Brewing and Stone Brewing we strive to make full flavored ales that are typically stronger and more expensive than mass produced 'beer'. Our ales are produced with high quality ingredients, made in small batches and adhere to strict brewing practices. The people that drink our beer get the most out of life, are responsible citizens, but like to push the envelope. They like to live life to the fullest, are adventurous by nature, and appreciate quality over quantity. There's a little Red Devil in them!
The logo we have in mind is similar to the logo for Dogfish Head brewing. We like the idea of a red pitchfork, but with a curved end that is a devil's tail. The image will be inside a circular shape and very simplistic, yet very eye catching. In addition to being the image that represents the company, this logo will appear on our bottled beer as well. When you see the pitchfork you think of Red Devil Brewing, and know that you will be getting a quality beer. Our initial idea is that in addition to the devil tailed pitchfork inside the circle, the name 'Red Devil Brewing Co.' should wrap down around the top of the circle, and the words 'Small Batch Ales' should wrap up around the bottom of the circle. That being said we are completely open to letting your creativity take over and design an image that represents who we are.

Minnehaha GOP Scrapping Competing Forums
SIOUX FALLS - The Minnehaha County Republican Party is scrapping its plans to hold its own legislative forums that would have competed with ones hosted by the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce.
The county GOP says in an email that it reached a consensus to continue its sponsorship of the chamber forums after electing new leaders including Chairman Dave Roetman.
The first chamber forum is scheduled for Saturday.
Former party leaders announced their own forums earlier this month, saying the chamber and the League of Women Voters were unresponsive to concerns that audiences were too liberal and conservatives couldn't ask their questions.
The chamber says questions aren't biased against Republicans, and lawmakers will now be given 90 seconds each to talk about whatever they want.

As the disappointing 2010 regular season draws to a close for the Washington Redskins, it's time to take a look at the 2011 regular season schedule. Washington will of course have their traditional divisional home and away games with the Eagles, Cowboys and the Giants while the redskins will take on teams from the AFC East and the NFC West in 2011.
Washington will host home games this season with the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots and the New York Jets. The Redskins travel to take on the Seattle Seahawks, St Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.
If the league moves to a 18 game schedule, then the Redskins will have another home game against a NFC South opponent and travel to take on a NFC North foe.
Exact dates and times of games will be released by the league later this spring.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Workers Threatened for Cooperating in Investigation, Federal Agency Charges
YAKIMA, Wash. – One of the nation's largest apple producers violated federal law when its management retaliated against workers for cooperating in a federal discrimination investigation, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced in a lawsuit filed today. This is the agency's second lawsuit against Evans Fruit Company; in June 2010, the EEOC charged that female farmworkers were sexually harassed at the grower's Sunnyside ranch.
The EEOC's current lawsuit alleges that former ranch manager Juan Marin, crew leaders and other employees used intimidation and threats in an attempt to prevent witnesses from participating in its investigation into the sexual harassment case. According to the EEOC, Marin and his associates at Evans Fruit made it clear that anyone who did cooperate would suffer serious harm. Two workers relocated to another state in fear, the EEOC said. The agency said that Marin also attempted to coerce one of these witnesses to keep him informed about anyone who continued to speak to the EEOC.
Retaliation for reporting or assisting in the prosecution of sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After first attempting to reach a settlement out of court through conciliation, the EEOC filed the lawsuit (Case No. 11CV-113093) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington in Yakima, seeking relief on behalf of the retaliation victims, training on anti-retaliation laws, posting of anti-retaliation notices at the work site and other measures to prevent future violations. The workers are also represented in the lawsuit by the Northwest Justice Project, a not-for-profit law firm providing free assistance and representation to low-income people and communities throughout Washington.
"From the beginning, this case has been marked by an extraordinary need to prevent intimidation and threats," said EEOC Regional Attorney William Tamayo. "We filed suit today as another in a series of emergency measures to ensure the safety of the farmworkers coming forward in this sexual harassment case."
Tamayo cited the history of this case:
Tamayo added, "Filing for a temporary restraining order is not a common action for us, and obtaining a preliminary injunction is an extraordinary remedy. But in this case, we saw an urgent need to do all in our power to protect the farmworkers who had the courage to come forward, and the court apparently agreed. We hope this lawsuit and the power of the court's protections will encourage workers to testify with confidence that the law protects them and their jobs."
Tamayo urged workers who experienced sexual harassment or retaliation at Evans Fruit to contact the EEOC to determine if they qualify to be part of the class: contact Carmen Flores at (206) 220-6853, May Che at (206) 220-6919, or Debra Smith at (415) 625-5650. (All speak Spanish.)
According to company information, Evans Fruit Company operates 11 ranches, totaling over 7,000 acres, and includes apple orchards and three production facilities, and employs 1,200 - 1,300 seasonal employees in addition to regular staff.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

ownCloud is a software suite that provides a location-independent storage area for data (cloud storage).
owncloudAUR is available in the AUR.
- First of all set up the LAMP stack as described in the corresponding Wiki article.
- Install the owncloudAUR package as described in AUR#Installing_packages.
- Copy /usr/share/doc/owncloud/examples/apache.conf_example to /etc/httpd/conf/extra/owncloud.conf (if you using owncloud-git)
- Add the following lines into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (php5 should have been configured during the LAMP stack setup):
Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/owncloud.conf LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf
Uncomment extensions in /etc/php/php.ini
gd.so intl.so openssl.so xmlrpc.so zip.so iconv.so
Depending on which database backend you are going to use uncomment either one of the following extensions in /etc/php/php.ini
sqlite.so sqlite3.so pdo_sqlite.so
mysql.so mysqli.so pdo_mysql.so
now restart httpd (Apache) and open http://localhost in your browser. You should now be able to create a user account and follow the installation wizard.
Custom configurations
Filesize Limitations
With the default configuration ownCloud only allows the upload of filesizes less than 2MB. This can be changed by changing the following line in /etc/php/php.ini to your liking.
As of version 4.0 this is no longer necessary! The maximum upload size is now set via the ownCloud gui
upload_max_filesize = 2M
As of version 4.5, upload limits are set in /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/.htaccess. This won't work if PHP is set up to run as CGI, so you need to change the limits in /etc/php/php.ini. You also need to change open_basedir.
upload_max_filesize = 512M post_max_size = 512M memory_limit = 512M open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/
Running owncloud in a subdirectory
By including the default owncloud.conf in httpd.conf, owncloud will take control of port 80 and your localhost domain. If you would like to have owncloud run in a subdirectory, then skip the 'Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/owncloud.conf' line altogether and just use a symbolic link like so:
ln -s /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/ /srv/http/
In that case, you'll also have to ensure /usr/share/webapps is in the open_basedir line of php.ini, and that per-directory .htaccess files are read by apache.
(Alternatively, you could follow the standard procedure, but comment out the VirtualHost part of the include file, and skip the symlink/basedir/htaccess part.)
Filling ownCloud with data
Small Files
Always use WebDAV or the web interface to add new files to your ownCloud. Otherwise they will not show up correctly, as they do not get indexed right.
Consider installing and enabling php-apc to speed up WebDAV.
When using SABnzbd, you might want to set
folder_rename 0
in your sabnzbd.ini file, because ownCloud will scan the files as soon as they get uploaded, preventing SABnzbd from removing UNPACKING prefixes etc.
Big Files
WebDAV isn't suitable for big files, because it fills up all the RAM and CPU.
With the current version, it looks like, there is no good way of copying huge amounts of data to your ownCloud.
Here's a Workaround:
copy the files directly to your ownCloud and do a full re-scan of your database (you could use the Re-scan filesystem add-on for example).
But beware that this will not work as easily in the future, when end-to-end encryption gets added to ownCloud (this is a planned feature).
Important Notes
- When using a subdomain (like cloud.example.xxx), make sure it is covered by your certificate. Otherwise, connection via the owncloud client or webdav might fail.
- If you are planning on using OwnCloud's sync-clients, make sure to have NTP installed and running on your OwnCloud server, otherwise the sync-clients will fail.
- Add some SSL encryption to your connection!
Nginx + uwsgi_php alternative
You can avoid the use of Apache, and run owncloud in it's own process by using the wsgi_php application server. uWSGI itself has a wealth of features to limit the resource use, and to harden the security of the application, and by being a separate process it can run under its own user.
The nginx config is:
#this is to avoid Request Entity Too Large error client_max_body_size 1000M; # deny access to some special files location ~ ^/(data|config|\.ht|db_structure\.xml|README) { deny all; } # pass all .php or .php/path urls to uWSGI location ~ ^(.+\.php)(.*)$ { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_modifier1 14; uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:3001; } # everything else goes to the filesystem, # but / will be mapped to index.php and run through uwsgi location / { root /usr/share/webapps/owncloud; index index.php; }
The uWSGI /etc/uwsgi/owncloud.ini config file (run it with uwsgi_php --ini /etc/uwsgi/owncloud.ini):
[uwsgi] socket = 127.0.0.1:3001 master = true chdir = /srv/http/owncloud php-docroot = /usr/share/webapps/owncloud php-index = index.php # only allow these php files, I don't want to inadvertently run something else php-allowed-ext = /index.php php-allowed-ext = /public.php php-allowed-ext = /remote.php php-allowed-ext = /cron.php php-allowed-ext = /status.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/apps.php php-allowed-ext = /core/ajax/update.php php-allowed-ext = /core/ajax/share.php php-allowed-ext = /core/ajax/requesttoken.php php-allowed-ext = /core/ajax/translations.php php-allowed-ext = /search/ajax/search.php php-allowed-ext = /search/templates/part.results.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/admin.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/users.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/personal.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/help.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/getlog.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/setlanguage.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/setquota.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/userlist.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/createuser.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/removeuser.php php-allowed-ext = /settings/ajax/enableapp.php php-allowed-ext = /core/ajax/appconfig.php php-set = date.timezone=Europe/Skopje php-set = open_basedir=/srv/http/owncloud:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/owncloud processes = 10 cheaper = 2 cron = -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 /usr/bin/curl -H https://localhost/cron.php
Finally, a simple systemd unit file to start the uwsgi instance can be (this is without using the emperor):
[Unit] Description=OwnCloud service via uWSGI-PHP [Service] User=http ExecStart=/usr/bin/uwsgi_php --ini /etc/uwsgi/owncloud.ini ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillSignal=SIGQUIT Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

The Hawai'i Forest Industry Association (HFIA) announced today that 110 people attended the "Growing Koa in Hawai'i Nei" Symposium held at Kilauea Military Camp (KMC) in Volcanos National Park on November 16th. Over 40 of them participated in the tour of Keauhou Ranch, Ka'u the following day.
The symposium brought together landowners, foresters, students and others interested in growing koa, for a day of panel discussions and presentations to promote sustainable forestry practices and to share the latest research on koa reforestation in Hawai'i.
"We are very pleased with the interest shown in Hawai'i's koa industry by business owners, forestry professionals, students and other participants," said Heather Simmons, HFIA Executive Director. "Attendance exceeded our expectations. We are encouraged by their commitment to protect, preserve and grow Hawai'i's most popular indigenous hardwood and one of the most valuable timbers in the world," Simmons stated.
Symposium highlights included:
- An opening cultural protocol, "Koa mo'ōlelo," by Cheyenne Hiapo Perry, Mauna Kea Watershed Alliance Coordinator.
- Keynote speech by Dr. Charles Michler, Director of the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC) at Purdue University, Indiana and the Tropical HTIRC in Hawai'i. His compelling presentation addressed ways to take advantage of genetic variation that exists within koa trees for a desired suite of traits and discussed research being conducted in Hawai'i.
- A koa mapping exercise and a preliminary report of the "Distribution of Koa Growers Survey," by Julie Gaertner, graduate student in the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science program at University of Hawai'i (UH) Hilo.
- "2020: A Clear Vision" group goal setting plan for koa forests in the year 2020, facilitated by Mike Robinson, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) Property Development Agent and HFIA Director, assisted by Peter Simmons, HFIA Director and former Regional Land Asset Manager for Kamehameha Schools.
The Keauhou Ranch tour included visits to a 3 to 6-year old koa plantation and to various koa stands where trials are being conducted by Kamehameha Schools on koa stand thinning. Led by Kamehameha Schools' Land Asset Manager and forester Kama Dancil, Forest Solutions foresters Thomas Baribault, Ph.D. and Nicolas Koch, and University of Hawai'i's forester J.B. Friday, Ph.D., the tour provided an excellent example of large-scale koa forest restoration.
Symposium sponsors included the County of Hawai'i Department of Research & Development, Tropical Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center, Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DOFAW), Awapuhi Farms & Mill, Hawaii Forest & Trail, and DHHL.
More information about the event, speakers, and planning committee can be found on the Symposium webpage. Results of the koa mapping and goal setting exercises along with a video of the talks will be posted on the site after the first of the year. Learn more about the young-growth koa study at the Young-growth Koa Study webpage.
