Overview of Authorization Manager
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Authorization Manager is available for use in the following versions of Windows: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. It is deprecated as of Windows Server 2012 R2 and may be removed in subsequent versions.
The role-based management model enables you to assign users to roles, and gives you a central place to keep track of what permissions have been given to each role. This model is often called role-based access control (RBAC).
Once Authorization Manager is configured, and users have been assigned to roles, most settings that authorize users for specific actions are made automatically. You can also apply very specific control by using scripts. The scripts, called authorization rules, enable you to apply fine-grained control over the mapping between access control and the structure of your organization.
Authorization Manager can help provide effective control of access to resources in many situations. Generally, two categories of roles often benefit from role-based administration: user authorization roles and computer configuration roles.
User Authorization roles are based on a user's job function. You can use authorization roles to authorize access, to delegate administrative privileges, or to manage interaction with computer-based resources. For example, you might define a Treasurer role that includes the right to authorize expenditures and audit account transactions.
Computer configuration roles are based on a computer's function. You can use computer configuration roles to select features that you want to install, to enable services, and to select options. For example, computer configuration roles for servers might be defined for Web servers, domain controllers, file servers, and custom server configurations that are appropriate to your organization.
Using developer mode and administrator mode in Authorization Manager
With Authorization Manager, you can use the following two modes:
Developer mode. In developer mode, you can create, deploy, and maintain applications. You have unrestricted access to all of the Authorization Manager features.
Administrator mode. This is the default mode. In administrator mode, you can deploy and maintain applications. You have access to all Authorization Manager features, but you cannot create new applications or define operations.
Commonly, Authorization Manager is used by custom applications written for a specific purpose in your environment. These applications usually create, manage, and use an authorization store by calling the Authorization Manager application programming interfaces (APIs). In that case, developer mode need not be used. For more information about using Authorization Manager programmatically, see Resources for Authorization Manager.
When you use developer mode, it is recommended that you run Authorization Manager in developer mode only until the authorization store, application, and other necessary objects are created and configured. After you initially set up Authorization Manager, run Authorization Manager in administrator mode. For more information about using developer or administrator mode, see Set Authorization Manager Options.
Comparing Authorization Manager to other management tools
Authorization Manager is capable of implementing multiple configuration and permission changes at once. There are other management tools available with this version of Windows and Windows Server 2003 family of operating systems that can also be used to configure access permissions, sometimes in ways comparable to Authorization Manager. These include:
ACL Editor The access control list (ACL) editor sets access control policy for objects stored in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) and Windows objects. Authorization Manager differs from the ACL editor by letting you base your access control on roles (usually based on particular job tasks), not just on group membership, and by tracking the permissions that have been granted.
Delegation of Control Wizard The Delegation of Control Wizard also sets multiple permissions automatically, but, unlike Authorization Manager, it does not provide a method to track or remove permissions that have been granted.

Bihar: Pappu Yadav denied bail
Anand Mohan Sahay in Patna | April 27, 2006 16:03 IST
The Patna high court has dismissed the bail petition of�Rashtriya Janata Dal member of Parliament Pappu Yadav on Thursday in connection with murder of the Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Ajit Sarkar.
The court dismissed the bail petition of Pappu Yadav on the ground that there was no basis to grant him bail and observed that he will have to stay in judicial custody for at least six month more.
Yadav is the main accused in the murder of Sarkar in 1998 in Purnea district.
Yadav's lawyer said that Pappu Yadav�filed a bail�petition in the court after the Supreme Court directed him to approach the high court for bail in the case.
Yadav is currently lodged in�the high security Tihar jail in New Delhi. He was shifted from Beur jail in Patna to Tihar jail on the order of the court in 2005 before the state assembly polls in Bihar.

The coalition's plans to reform financial regulation are in disarray after MPs and peers raised concerns that the new body intended to analyse catastrophic risks in the system needs to be overhauled before it even holds its first formal meeting.
The Treasury select committee, which will grill the bosses of britain's four biggest banks on Wednesday, has called for the financial policy committee to appoint a new member to ensure it has the skills to decide the scale of the systemic risks facing the financial industry.
The demand is the latest setback for the FPC, a week before it is due to hold its first formal meeting, which is in turn taking place more than six months later than originally expected.
The government was already searching for a new external member for the FPC, which is to be chaired by the Bank of England governor, Mervyn King, after former CBI boss Sir Richard Lambert decided not to take up the post.
A spokesman for the Treasury, which appoints the members of the committee, said the department "noted the committee's views and would see how the interim FPC operates".
Sitting inside the Bank of England, the FPC is intended to monitor the risks to the financial system. It will also be equipped with a toolkit of powers to spot speculative bubbles and prevent them bursting – for instance, by demanding that restrictions are placed on mortgages when house prices soar.
The select committee raised doubts after taking evidence from former banker Michael Cohrs and former Bank of England employee Alistair Clark, two external members of the FPC.
While the committee wished Cohrs "every success in his new role" on the FPC, despite raising concerns about his reticence to make public pronouncements concerning that role, it was less enthusiastic about Clark.
"We are satisfied that Mr Clark has a great deal of professional competence. Whether he has the necessary direct experience to be an external member is not so clear," the committee said. "He has much to offer the body from his knowledge of regulatory issues.
"But to ensure that the interim FPC has the intended representation of wider views, we recommend that a fifth external member also be appointed."
It will be an interim committee until legislation is passed next year. The other external member is the Federal Reserve's Donald Kohn, whom the committee has already endorsed.
Under the format envisaged by the Treasury, the FPC will have 13 members: seven from the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority, four external members and two non-voting members – Martin Wheatley, chief executive designate of the Financial Conduct Authority, which is being spun out of the FSA, and a representative of the Treasury.
Lord Oakeshott, a Liberal Democrat peer, said: "When there are only four out of 13 external appointments, it's important not just that they are experienced and of high quality but transparently external."
Lord Myners, the former City minister, said: "The FPC should be composed of people of real world experience and the strength of character to express an independent view from the prevailing wisdom of the Bank of England."
The FPC has held one informal meeting and, following its first formal meeting on 16 June, King will hold a press conference on 24 June to outline the risks the committee believes the financial system is facing.
The select committee willhave before it Barclays boss Bob Diamond, HSBC's chairman, Douglas Flint, Lloyds Banking Group's chief executive, António Horta-Osório, and his counterpart at Royal Bank of Scotland, Stephen Hester.
They will be questioned about the plans by the independent commission on banking to ringfence retail deposits and force Lloyds to sell more branches to bolster competition.
The four will appear hours after the business secretary, Vince Cable, goes before the business select committee where he is expected to warn banks that they face higher taxes unless they keep the supply of loans flowing to small businesses.

I Majored in CJ and in one of my classes on serial killers, the main detective on the Ben Rhoads truck driving case above came and gave a presentation on some of his cases. He shows us the end result of the girl above. He put a wire around her neck then took a piece of wood and wound it until it almost cut her head off and left her laying in the barn to rot. that picture is burned into my mind and I regret looking at it. He got his kicks from the women being afraid, he had others of her naked pretending to be afraid.

wafuku – noun: traditional Japanese clothing
Welcome to my www.wafuku.co.uk Wordpress blog
From tan to kimono
One of my customers, Ms Walker, bought some tan (bolts of textile specifically woven for kimonos, also called tanmomo) and had a kimono maker tailor them up for her. Her kimonos are beautiful and I am very grateful that she allowed me to post photos of them here.
The first shows a grey one, a wool kimono, very simple and elegant. I like her choice of obi, with its broad, black band, echoing the bands on the kimono.
The second shows a wonderful ichimatsu kimono. Ms Walker looks absolutely stunning. Her obi is a lovely choiceof both colour and design to go with the bold, geometric design of the kimono.
Ichimatsu is a popular design on traditional Japanese clothing; it is a checkerboard pattern, named after the kabuki actor, Ichimatsu Sanogawa, from the Edo era. When he wore hakama with thchecked design, it quickly became a fashionable pattern. It then became his trademark pattern. There is a type of doll named after Ichimatsu too, they were originally dolls that looked like him but eventually evolved into dolls of children, so we no longer think of an ichimatsu doll being one that is modelled on that actor.
Many patterns that became fashionable among the general public came from kabuki actors.
The photo below shows one of the geisha's obi from my www.wafuku.co.uk website, with black and silver ichimatsu pattern.
This spectacular kimono, with forest and mountain design, is a wonderful example of Japanese textile art.
Talking of Japanese textile art
Check out this amazing bolt of silk, with huge fish (perhaps red snapper) on it. Woven to make a naga- juban, underwear kimono.
Skate Booties
My daughter bought herself some of these Jeffrey Campbell skate booties, which are particularly popular in Japan.
You can also check out my www.wafuku.co.uk website, providing vintage & antique Japanese kimonos & collectables.

Your Chromebook ain't normal laptop. It needs a different treatment when you test battery life too. Don't you think? The Chrome team also thinks so.
"Modern mobile computers are sold with an advertised battery life, ranging from a few to tens of hours. Nonetheless, when these devices are used on a daily basis, many users report the actual battery life doesn't match up with the advertised numbers. For Chrome OS devices, we wanted to try to report battery life that was as close to what an average user experienced as possible."
"The power_LoadTest was created to emulate average user behavior and measure the resultant battery life." The team has automated the test, and has put together an open source extension. Source is available here.
So, How do they do it?
Here is the official description, a shameless-copy-paste:
- [First 60% of the test] Browsing: a new website is loaded every minute. The web page loaded is scrolled down one page (600px) every 10 second, then scrolled back up at the same rate.
- [Next 20%] Email: Gmail is loaded in the foreground tab and audio is streamed from a background tab.
- [Next 10%] Documents: Various Google Docs are loaded.
- [Final 10%] Video: A full screen 480p YouTube Video is played.
The parameters of the test are as follows:
- Backlight: Set to 40% of panel brightness.
- Power management:
- Dimming, blanking the screen and transitions to suspend-to-RAM state are disabled.
- Ambient light sensor readings ignored.
The parameters of the system under test are as follows:
- Battery:USB: No external devices connected
- Device only powered by battery (no AC power).
- Battery charged to 100% prior to initializing test. Test continues in 1 hour iterations until battery passes low threshold (currently set at 3%). Initial & remaining battery charge is recorded.
- Network: Device is associated with a wireless access point via WiFi.
Throughout the duration of the test, there are 5 sites loaded in background tabs. These sites were chosen to represent typical actions of a user on a daily basis:
- Searching
- Reading news
- Checking on finance
- Shopping
- Communication
So, as you can see, no photoshopping, or video editing. They are testing you and me, normal Chromebook users do on a Chromebook.
Wait, do they test this on an airplane too? Lots of people said they are not buying a Chromebook because it won't work on an airplane 😉

She fears him, and will always ask
What fated her to choose him;
She meets in his engaging mask
All reason to refuse him.
But what she meets and what she fears
Are less than are the downward years,
Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
Of age, were she to lose him.
Between a blurred sagacity
That once had power to sound him,
And Love, that will not let him be
The Judas that she found him,
Her pride assuages her almost
As if it were alone the cost--
He sees that he will not be lost,
And waits, and looks around him.
A sense of ocean and old trees
Envelops and allures him;
Tradition, touching all he sees,
Beguiles and reassures him.
And all her doubts of what he says
Are dimmed by what she knows of days,
Till even Prejudice delays
And fades, and she secures him.
The falling leaf inaugurates
The reign of her confusion;
The pounding wave reverberates
The dirge of her illusion.
And Home, where passion lived and died,
Becomes a place where she can hide,
While all the town and harbor side
Vibrate with her seclusion.
We tell you, tapping on our brows,
The story as it should be,
As if the story of a house
Were told, or ever could be.
We'll have no kindly veil between
Her visions and those we have seen--
As if we guessed what hers have been,
Or what they are or would be.
Meanwhile we do no harm, for they
That with a god have striven,
Not hearing much of what we say,
Take what the god has given.
Though like waves breaking it may be,
Or like a changed familiar tree,
Or like a stairway to the sea,
Where down the blind are driven.

My room in new flat has got pretty bad acoustic, huge windows height ceilings and brick walls. How to resolve it? This one is coming behind the speaker.
In the beginning I have had few major ingredients:
– loads of wood board 2 x 12 x 240 cm
– white bed sheets
– acoustic Rockwool 60gsm 60x120cm 10cm thickness
– wood screws
– strong rope to hang them
Data sheet for mineral wool
Acoustic performance coefficient in PDF (250 kB)
Sound absorption panels trap acoustical energy (sound) and prevent it from reflecting off of the surfaces they cover. The panels are used to eliminate echoes and reflections that muddle or color amplified music and speech. These wall panels will also reduce reverberation levels in a room, which can sometimes provide ambient noise reduction.
Tool list:
– Saw
– Drill with drills and counter sink tool
– Sand paper
– Wood screws with screw driver, no glue is used in this project.
– Staple gun
– Scissors
Idea behind is to make nice looking cheap acoustic panel. Have I succeed? Take a look:
In the beginning, there was a horde of wooden pine boards. Light and nice looking from BnQ (UK DIY store).
Hand sawing in my spare room. Don't mind dirty cloth for washing 🙂
Hand sawing and sanding. All together 11 panels + 1 Accoustic picture (which was made previously) = 44 pieces of bords were needed. Quite hustle make it all by hand. Mineral panel is 60×120 so I cut wood 59.5 x 122.5 to achieve tight fit.
Then drill holes and counter sink them. Counter sinking is quite good trick I learned, wood is not cracking when wood screws are coming in. I was feeling like in some kind of Ford factory, instead of doing one panel at time, I've made it step by step.
First frame is almost completed. Too many screws must be screwed so later I used hand drill instead. It went quite fast.
11 wood frames are ready to get white sheet cover. They are actually right angled and all in same dimensions. I'm satisfied with my work so far.
Cut half sheet (or tear) with scissors and spread it on floor.
Attach one side with staples, then opposite one. Make sure all is stretched at all time.
Same one, first slightly stretch and attach one side and then properly stretch the other one.
Now all sides are attached, cut the excess with with scissors.
Fold nicely corners. I have fold them on top side, so they're not seen. This what I call perfectionism. No glue was used. Just staples, no bullshit 🙂
Evenly tack it in with piece of wood. Mineral wool is a bitch and tiny pieces of glass punish your pride if you don't wear gloves. Some even recommend disposable apron and respirator. Mineral panel is 60×120 so I cut wood 59.5 x 122.5 to achieve tight fit.
Panels are queuing to be hang on the wall. Project get on pretty well and they all look and measure same.
From side.
I stack them behind speakers and partially in the corner. 3D acoustic diffuser is coming behind hifi rack (when I have time to do it)
This one is going behind Vintage Pioneer speaker. Because speaker is very close to the wall, there are some nasty low frequencies cumulation behind.
Two panels are also standing, so I can change position in the room and adjust acoustic.

The director of an area nonprofit agency got a shock when she opened the attachment to an e-mail from a similar agency in California.
Betsy Arbelovsky, director of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District in North Kenai, said the number of files in her e-mail "sent" file suddenly began to grow.
"My outbox was at 128, 129. All of a sudden, I'd sent 750 e-mails," she said.
The culprit was a virus now circulating through the Kenai Peninsula. A copy came Tuesday to a Clarion reporter with the title, "A great Shockwave flash movie" and Arbelovsky's return address. The message was, "Check out this new flash movie that I downloaded just now ... It's Great Bye."
However, the Hotmail e-mail server flagged the attachment -- a file called "creative.exe" -- as the carrier of a virus.
Arbelovsky said she received the tainted mail from the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center in San Francisco. It came from a sender Arbelovsky knew as a fellow board member on a national organization for operators of small-business incubators.
As soon as Arbelovsky realized what was happening, she began deleting messages as fast as she could from her "sent" file.
"I quick called the borough to warn them, but their virus protection had already caught it," she said.
Then, she started trying to recall e-mails that got away.
"I spent an hour and 20 minutes trying to correct this problem," she said.
Later, she talked to a worker at the city of Soldotna who had received her e-mail and opened the attachment. The virus went to everyone on her e-mail address list. Now, Arbelovsky is sorting through return e-mails from people on her address list who received the virus.
"My computer is working fine, so I hope everyone else's is, too," she said.
Bob Jones, computer systems manager for the Kenai Peninsula Borough, said the borough subscribes to a virus-protection system from a company called McAfee. That scans incoming e-mails for known viruses and also quarantines e-mails with attached files that have suspicious extensions. Files ending with ".exe" and ".vbs" extensions often harbor viruses, he said.
Once an e-mail lands in the "sent" file, he said, it probably is too late to stop. The "recall" function depends on the compatibility of the sender's e-mail system, the e-mail server and the recipient's e-mail system, he said, and recalls seldom work.
"The best bet is to make sure you have a wall to cover yourself," he said.
He said the key factor in subscribing to a virus protection company is not the software the company provides, but the frequency with which the company updates its list of known viruses and provides subscribers with the information to detect them.

Felicia's irritation grows, but she can't help staring at Amirah's peachy bottom, wiggling in tight denim shorts. When Amirah stops to flirt, Felicia grabs her roughly, bends her over the desk and yanks down her shorts, followed by her panties. She spanks Amirah's firm bottom hard, making her gasp and moan. Amirah spreads her ass cheeks, and Felicia kneels to lick her asshole, then slides a finger inside it, fucking her hard and fast. Amirah stands to let Felicia finger her in both holes at once, then lies back on the desk so Felicia can eat her pussy until she cums. Now Felicia undresses and Amirah licks and rubs her puffy pussy, then fingers her tight asshole and licks it while she diddles herself to orgasm.

Spider-Man: Homecoming has officially added actor Donald Glover to its cast!
Variety reports that the Community alum will appear in Sony's upcoming Spider-Man reboot alongside previously announced cast members, Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei, and K.C. Undercover's Zendaya.
According to the report, Sony is currently keeping quiet as to who Glover will play in the upcoming superhero flick, but his involvement in the project is bound to be a dream come true for the actor.
Back in 2010, Glover campaigned to play the web-slinging superhero when Sony announced they would be rebooting their Amazing Spider-Man franchise, and the Spidey fanbase took to twitter to champion around the actor. In the end, despite the traction he received online, actor Andrew Garfield wound up taking up the mantle after Toby Maguire.
Even so, Glover's Spidey dreams came to fruition in part when Disney X D tapped the actor to voice the character on their Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors series. In the cartoon, Glover voices Miles Morales, an incarnation of Spider-Man who exists in a universe where Peter Parker is dead.
Morales is a fan favorite and many were hoping Sony would choose to follow his story arc instead of Peter Parker's after the production company announced they would be rebooting Spider-Man for the third time.
Regardless, Glover's casting almost feels like a long time coming, and we're looking forward to seeing him when Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters!

Michael D. Smith, energy management engineer in Miami's department of physical facilities, has been named Energy Manager of the Year by Energy Manager magazine.
Smith was honored for multiple cost-saving contributions, most notably a new contract with Cinergy that saved the university 10 percent — almost $250,000 — of its total electric budget for 1998.
"It's a great honor for me and my colleagues," Smith said. "I'm getting phone calls from people all over the country wanting to know how we do things at Miami."
Miami has been actively involved with energy conservation programs for years. Smith, along with his colleagues in physical facilities, has been instrumental in implementing several energy-related projects, resulting in substantial savings to the university, said Jim Haley, associate vice president for facilities.
Under Smith's leadership, Miami has accumulated an impressive list of upgrades, including:
• A renegotiated contract for natural gas on the Hamilton campus resulting in $40,000 annual savings.
• Performance contracting, including envelope seals installed in two buildings, resulting in $78,000 annual savings.
• A new on-demand distilled water system in the chemistry laboratories resulting in $30,000 annual savings.
• Updating the six miles of steam and condensed and chilled water lines in Miami's tunnel system resulting in $32,000 annual savings.
• Testing of a nonchemical treatment system in one of Miami's many cooling towers, which successfully cleaned up the badly scaled tower, resulting in $6,000 annual savings. (Smith says this method could eventually replace the use of harsh cleaning chemicals on campus and result in $50,000 in additional savings every year.)
Energy Manager also praised Smith for converting outdoor lighting from Cinergy power to the campus system, eliminating outdated utility accounts and instituting an educational Energy Fair.
"Miami is putting a lot of effort in energy conservation and Mike Smith is a part of the campuswide team that is making it happen," Haley said.

Manny Pacquiao On The Cusp Of Time DilationMarch 30, 2010
Six newsworthy items that caught my attention prompted me to lumber out of my winter hibernation blues, greet green spring time, and share with my great BR pals and roving readers my few thoughts on the Pacific Storm.
Here are the events, not necessarily in chronological order.
News No. 1:
Four-division world champion, James "Lights Out" Toney, thinks Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao can knock out Mayweather.
"I'd put my money on Manny Pacquiao to knock Floyd Mayweather out," Toney told Ace Freeman of FightFan.com.
"I love Floyd and I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. But if you claim to be the best fighter in the world, pound-for-pound—fight! Don't make excuses."
"I grew up with Floyd Mayweather; we all came from the same block in [Grand Rapids] Michigan. Me, the Mayweather family, Buster Mathis, Tony Tucker—the 'Hall of Fame' block," said Toney, whose great boxing career as a heavyweight was somewhat tainted by steroids charges.
News No. 2:
Mexico's three-division champion, Erik "El Terrible" Morales, won another title in his ill-advised return to the boxing ring after two and a half years since his retirement.
According to FightNews.com, Morales defeated former World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion, Jose "Jicaras" Alfaro, of Nicaragua by unanimous decision in Monterrey, Mexico.
The Mexican legend's 117-111, 116-112 and 116-112 UD victory earned him the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) international welterweight title.
The 34-year-old Morales now has a record of 49-6 (with 34 knockouts).
Guess what he said at his victory speech. "I want Pacquiao. I want a fourth fight with him."
News No. 3:
Freddie Roach detonated a small bombshell by offering that Pacquiao may withdraw the defamation suit his attorney Petrocelli filed in a Southern California court against Mayweather Senior, Junior and Golden Boy Promotions.
Why withdraw it?
Well, Roach gambled it would sweeten the deal. Mayweather must withdraw his adamant Olympic-style blood testing requirement and the suit would be withdrawn in return.
Sounded like simple child's play to me or the kind of barter system that the Romans popularized. Hammurabi had a stricter combat code. A nail for a nail, a tooth for a tooth.
This clever and well-meaning Roach made a deft move. Very Machiavellian.
News No. 4:
Less than 48 hours later, Koncz, the Pacman Chief of Staff, issued a sharp rejoinder a.k.a. contradiction. Nope, the suit will proceed regardless of a Mayweather swoon, Koncz categorically declared.
You would think that the Pacman camp is Jekyll and Hyde. Or Jerky and Jerky. I wish there was more beef.
Is it all mind games orchestrated by Roach and Koncz, wittingly or unwittingly (for the life of me, who would ever know?), to derail Mayweather psychologically?
News No. 5:
Pacquiao made an announcement at his arrival at the Benigno Aquino International Airport in Manila after his victory over Clottey.
He stated (perhaps to satiate onlookers and his entourage of mother, wife and supporting crew) that he is contemplating retirement based on a promise he had made to his mother, Dionesia, before the Cotto fight.
One more fight after Cotto and he is hanging up his fighting gloves.
That is what he claimed he had told his mom. I believe him, too. Not hard for me. Why?
Well, I would say it to my mom or wife before each fight, if I were a fighter. This one sounded semi-genuine though.
After all, it was a sweeping statement he would declare ala Bonaparte crossing the Russian border, on the eve of another fight he would certainly lose—a fight with an incumbent billionaire politician who has a python-like stranglehold on the province of Sarangani.
Visions of grandeur dancing in his head? I wish my countryman much luck. I do admire and respect his resoluteness in whatever he chooses to pursue, ring-wise or outside of it.
Bless his humble heart. His motives are genuine enough.
News No. 6:
During an interview, Roach commented on Pacquiao's overt retirement hints by saying that there are still two to three years left in Pacquiao's boxing career. I believe him, too. Not hard for me.
Why am I citing these news items?
Well, I strongly suspect that there is a rising tide of opinion—covertly abetted by Bob Arum, and Koncz-controlled Pacman camp—being put out on Mayweather to drop his pseudo protestations and meet up with Pacman head on.
The return match clause on his contract with Shane Mosley, while business-savvy, is eerie. But that is another matter to study up on at another time.
I think Mayweather would rather lose first to Mosley than to Pacman.
A double-date with Mosley and a triple-sequel with Pacman, notwithstanding Dionisia's loving protestations, would engulf the boxing world—maybe the world—like Katrina devoured New Orleans.
My reasons for bringing this news before you? Not that you are not up-to-date with boxing news related to Pacman, I just see a few patterns suggested in the news items I have cited above. I have six of them for you guys.
Reason No. 6:
Morales will never get the chance to fight Pacman for the fourth time. Reason?
No one will watch it.
So why did Morales make such an out-of-tune, arrhythmic noise? Well, "someone" had asked or "requested" him because such a statement will put more pressure on Mayweather to show his cajones.
If a 34-year-old washed-out Morales would grasp for another opportunity with Pacman, it would show he still has the mojo. Notice that Morales never accuses Pacman with drug use. He simply attributes his two knockout losses to incorrect training and weight struggles.
Mexican fighters, as loquacious as many fighters we have seen, do seem to be able to control their verbal triggers on the bigger issues better than Mayweather, Cintron, and Malignaggi.
- Mayweather does it because of a fear phobia. The artful dodger is great at his art.
- Cintron just goes off with the bandwagon for lack of direction in his boxing career. In short, since there is not much else he can do about it, he might as well just talk rabidly and illogically and aiming at nothing. Well, he hits nothing. Success! He just might get some temporary press, which he did.
- But look what happened to his countryman. Cotto lost badly but accepted defeat like a perfect gentleman; Malignaggi does it to get a fight and huge payday. Wow, he gets to fight a British hopeful and someone from Roach's stable at that. Talk about Amir Khan closing Malignaggi's big mouth at fight night. Clever businessman this Malignaggi, I give it to him. Therefore, Mexican fighters have also earned my respect.
Reason No. 5:
Toney trained with Roach and has a great relationship with him up to this day. His cultural roots place him squarely in Mayweather's company. For a fellow "townmate" and fellow countrymen to run away from a logical fight like Mayweather did based on an unproven and baseless drug excuse is like a personal affront to Toney.
Toney is drawing the line. He wants Pretty Boy to cross the line and to show more cajones. It is like him being abandoned by a brother while he is fending for himself during a street fight. It is worse than being verbally dissed.
Did Roach and Toney have a prior meaningful conversation that moved Toney to explode with the outburst that he directed at Pretty Boy? I think so.
I don't think Roach egged him on purposefully, however.
Herr Toney just reacted like water would flow with gravity.
Reason No. 4
Arum and Koncz may have an invisible partnership.
I do not know how deeply or how recently the partnership was cemented. But it is apparent that Arum planted him as a "mole" within Pacquiao's camp. Not for evil reasons but to protect Pacquiao and Arum leveraging his own vested interests in the cash cow.
Does it not confound you of where Koncz came from?
Roach allegedly was the one who fessed up to making the "mistake" of introducing him to Pacquiao. There is an unbearable lightness of something here, or an irritating heaviness of nothing.
What do you think?
The audacious claim from Koncz regarding the non-negotiability of the court case is a slap on the face of Roach who had declared otherwise less than 48 hours earlier.
Were these two conflicting statements characteristic of a "disunited" Pacman camp?
Of course not.
Were these apparently divisive statements contrived up and orchestrated together in order to confuse the Mayweather camp?
Who would ever know the truth?
Arum is the master craftsman of psychological warfare.
It reminds me of the confusing mixed signals coming out of the allegedly fractured Pacman training camp in Baguio prior to the Cotto fight. Bravo, these guys are professional psy-war experts. They almost got me.
Did it help confuse the Cotto camp? Well, as a matter of fact, it did. Cotto's inexperienced young figurehead trainer unraveled coming into the fight.
Remember his contrite gestures toward Roach at the end of the fight?
Reason No. 3
The contradictory statements from Roach and Koncz is a devious ploy (only Koncz probably knows the real depths of its murky deviousness since Roach is relatively a straight shooter) to cajole the Mayweather camp into honorably reversing their abortive blood testing crusades.
If you remember this scene from Godfather Part 1: Fredo (John Calzaghe), the weak-minded middle brother, present during a discussion between his older brother Sonny (James Caan) and a rival mob group, butted in to contradict his brother's negotiation talking points, while being helped along by attorney brother Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall).
This paved the way for the rival group to swing in toward Fredo's soft-line stance after concluding that there is a split within the family.
Since they liked Fredo's proposition a lot better, they plotted to have Sonny removed from the negotiations.
They had Sonny killed with the help of an insider—a brother-in-law—whom Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), exacted a vengeance on by having him murdered on his way to becoming the new Godfather in Part 1.
He also had Fredo killed in Part 2 of the series. But that is another story to share about at another time. Let's get back to Pacquiao.
Reason No. 2
Pacquiao's pronouncements regarding Clottey as his last fight was meant to appease his troubled mother.
Dionisia was at the Cotto fight and saw the physical punishment her son received. Topping it off was the busting of his right ear. How would that affect the internal calibration of his singing?
Will we ever know safely sooner or dangerously later?
Even Clottey, as coyly protective as he was with Pacquiao, had exposed the dangerous life of a small fighter going up against a huge fighter.
Who knows what might have happened if Clottey had thrown more punches from the get-go?
I would think Pacman would still have won by a decision but it would be much closer and Clottey might have severely bloodied up Pacman to the horror of his own mother and loyal fans.
I also believe that this retirement musings is a measure of his misguided confidence that he will win in the coming election. He will lose it simply because the people want him to continue fighting.
Every Filipino sportsman before Pacman who parlayed their sport career into an elective political position had done so after they had retired from their first glorious career.
It was like earning a lifetime achievement award or something.
They did it without spending mega millions, which is what Pacman, I genuinely fear, may be now doing. One-hundred million pesos is like loose change for a dollar multi-millionaire.
Many have suggested that Pacman enter politics at a divinely appointed time after he has hung up his fighting gloves—which I believe is now. For heaven's sake, take your money and run, before an accumulation of blows renders you like Roach.
Fifty plus fights, no matter how one responsibly slices it, are concussive on the brain. Filipinos, like any other constituency, do not want a leader talking like the ground is trembling under their feet.
I have had bad moments listening to Reagan during his retirement.
I have had bad moments listening to Muhammad Ali.
I sometimes cringe at certain points when I listen to a good, intelligent, even articulate guy like Roach talk.
I do not ever want to see my sports hero Pacman, elected or not elected, talking like someone whose wind under his wings was taken away and is unsteadily walking around like a motor-less duck while laying the golden egg.
Does Pacquiao really think he will win in the coming election?
If that is the case, that may have prompted him to issue a premature remark about Clottey being his last fight. But he seems to contradict himself by repeatedly evoking the team mantra saying that he wants the fight with Mayweather very badly. Freudian slip or psy-war?
Reason No. 1
Here again is the presumed title of this article: Manny Pacquiao On The Cusp of Time Dilation.
BR brothers and accidental readers, I am sorry for putting you through this, but the Reason No. 1 will have to be called off for another posting. It is too technical and too long to cover in one sitting.
But I can give you a few websites from where to study the unlikely term, if you will.
They have got the information I will use in breaking down and illuminating Reason No.1 for you in the coming sequel.
I apologize for giving you homework. In a perfect world, there is no such thing as home work, but boxing isn't a perfect place. It is just a difficult paradise.

Power grid survives heat; Northeast sets peak
By Eileen O'Grady
HOUSTON (Reuters) - The U.S. electric system survived a
second day of heat-related demand on Tuesday with no major
power outages, said utilities and grid operators.
consumption failed to materialize amid thunderstorms in Texas,
slightly lower temperatures and conservation efforts in New
York and California.
Moderating temperatures predicted for the remainder of the
week offer some relief to overtaxed utilities, said Stan
Johnson, manager of situation awareness for a national grid
organization. "The whole-country heat wave will break a bit on
Wednesday," said Johnson.
Johnson said advance planning by grid operators and
power-plant owners nearly a week ago when weather forecasts
predicted the heat wave was critical.
"The system performed very well," said Johnson. "Forced
outages (of power plants) were low and the transmission system
worked well."
Only the New England states established a new record for
power demand on Tuesday, at 27,374 megawatts, breaking a mark
of 26,885 megawatts set July 27, 2005, according to ISO New
"Temperatures in the mid-90s and high humidity combined to
drive electricity use to record levels," said Stephen Whitley,
chief operating officer for ISO New England, the grid operator
for 14 million people in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
Electric use in other areas of the country, including New
York, Texas and California, fell short of Monday's
record-setting pace despite higher forecasts issued for
Thunderstorms around midday in the area around Texas's
largest city of Houston significantly cut afternoon power
demand in the state, according to the Electric Reliability
Council of Texas, or ERCOT.
Conservation efforts, known as demand-response, also helped
limit rising power use in New York, according to the state's
grid operator.
Southern California Edison, which serves 4.7 million power
customers, said calls to conserve power helped keep overall
consumption down on Monday, keeping SCE's demand below its
existing peak.
While the first test was met, summer is not over, said
Johnson. "You can also see some peaks being set in August. It's
all a function of the weather."

Chelsea Moves to Hire Guardiola as Coach, Express Says: Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable Internet links.
Big Offer
Roman Abramovich will make a "take it or leave it" 18 million pound ($29 million) per year offer to Pep Guardiola to become Chelsea coach, the Daily Express said.
The Blues' owner is willing to make the Spaniard the world's highest-paid coach by offering 54 million pounds over three years, the Express said. Manchester United's Alex Ferguson is Britain's highest-paid coach, earning 7.6 million pounds per year, the newspaper said.
Abramovich, currently on vacation in the Caribbean, is furious about Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Swansea two nights ago in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals, the Express said.
No Hope
Chelsea's interim manager Rafael Benitez has accepted he won't be given the job permanently after the home loss to Swansea, the Sun said.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck was given a hostile reception by fans before the game and Benitez was subject to supporter abuse after the loss, the Sun said. That reaction has convinced Abramovich to make a change, though Benitez will not be fired before the end of the season, the newspaper said.
Exit Request
Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini has asked to leave the club and return to his native Argentina, the Independent said.
Coloccini's agent flew told Newcastle officials the defender wanted to leave before the end of the month, the Independent said.
The 30-year-old signed a four-year contract last year but now wants to return home, possibly to join San Lorenzo, for whom he previously played and where his father is employed, the newspaper said. Newcastle may have to consider a loan deal as San Lorenzo is unlikely to pay a major fee for the player, the Independent said.
Late Switch?
Wesley Sneijder wants to make a last-minute switch to England instead of leaving Inter Milan for Turkey, the Daily Mail said.
Sneijder is on the verge of a transfer to Galatasaray but his preference is to join a Premier League club, the Mail said. His agent has spoken with Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea, but they all turned him down because of the midfielder's 200,000 pound-a-week salary, the newspaper said.
Palacios Signing
Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp is set to sign Stoke's Wilson Palacios, the Sun said.
Redknapp signed Palacios from Wigan four years ago when he managed Tottenham. The midfielder has made only four appearances this season with Stoke, where he signed in 2011, and manager Tony Pulis has said he will let the 28-year-old leave, the Sun said.

Oakley's Brass Band
Excerpt from 'The Ark' Still Waits For Musician-Builder
William Oakley Melvin was born in the Lisbon community downriver from Elizabethtown near Carver's landing on August 1, 1894, and lived there until he was six…
… Oakley and "some of his cronies" formed a brass band in 1913, according to the younger brother [Broadus], who says he played cornet for the group at age 11. Oakley, who, like other band members, was 19 or 20, played trombone.
At the time, this was the only band in the county, or between Wilmington and Fayetteville, for that matter. The group received many invitations to play at high school commencements, holidays and parties, but Oakley's favorite engagement undoubtedly was playing as "house band" on some of the many steamboats that plied the river between the Port City and Fayetteville as late as 1937.
On one such occasion, a White Oak family chartered "The City of Fayetteville" for an excursion party to Wrightsville Beach and Oakley's band was offered free passage if they would entertain.
Oakley and his boys were at the White Oak Landing by sunrise, warming up the river morning stillness with "Sweet Bunch of Daisies," Broadus remembers.
The band played from the upper foredeck on the way down, so the captain could enjoy watching from the pilothouse. Many local people must have heard the music approaching on the river and turned out on docks along the way to listen and watch the gay spectacle pass and fade.
While waiting on the Wilmington docks for wagons to take the party to the beach, Oakley led the band in "Redwing" and "Captain of the Guard," drawing about 200 spectators, Broadus says.
Once everyone had gone for a swim,a few wanted to dance, so Broadus says the band gave them "Sobras las Olas" (Over the Waves), "The Sorceress" and "Trail of the Lonesome Pine."
Oakley slipped an improvised version of the "Doxology" into the middle of "Dancing on the Old Barn Floor" and Broadus says everyone was heving such a good time dancing, "they never even noticed."
[The Fayetteville Times by J.L. Pate, Sunday Staff Writer]
The City of Fayetteville Sinks With
Cargo of Cotton at Champion Compress
Dock—Crew's Narrow Escape.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the steamer City of Fayetteville sank in the slip at the foot of Red Cross street, at the Champion Compress, where she docked at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and from the looks of the wreck, it would seem that the steel hull has broken in two.
The boat was loaded with 236 bales of cotton for Alexander Sprunt & Son, 135 of which were gotten out yesterday, very little damaged, but Agent S. M. King, of the Merchants & Farmers Steamboat Company, which owns the vessel, was of the opinion last night that the remainder, which is entirely submerged, will prove almost a total loss. Messrs. Sprunt carried insurance on the cotton, but the steamboat company has no marine insurance, being unable to get it on the river. They carry fire insurance.
Their loss will approximate $15,000 if it proves that the hull has broken in two, that being the figure at which "the City" was valued. She was built in 1904, is 125 feet in length and has a draft of 26 inches. The manager of the company is Mr. S. P. McNair, and a number of local business men hold stock in the concern.
Engineer J. F. Creel and four of the crew were asleep on the boat when they were awakened by her settling, and they had to hurry to get out of her. The engineer had his small son with him and he said he got the lad out by catching hold of his leg and throwing him bodily to the wharf. They had gone over the boat sometime before and found nothing wrong.
It may be that a hole was punched in the bottom by a pile or that there is a shoal at the mouth of the slip, and that when the tide went out—it was extremely low yesterday morning—the weight of the machinery caused the stern to settle, breaking the boat amidships.
The work of raising the boat will go right along and the officials of the company hope that the damage may not be so serious that she cannot be repaired. She has made only two trips during the Summer, bringing cotton this month. Many visited the wreck yesterday and watched the salvage of the cotton going on.
[Wilmington Morning Star – Tuesday, September 30, 1913]
NOTE: The City of Fayetteville arrived upon the Cape Fear river in January of 1903.
Raising the City of Fayetteville
Work of Raising Stern Wheeler Proceeding Slowly – History.
The wrecking crew working on the City of Fayetteville made little progress yesterday in their efforts to float her. However, they will continue on the job until they find out whether or not she is wrecked beyond repair. The Fayetteville Observer yesterday gave a sketch of the boat, which has plied the river between Wilmington and Fayetteville for the last 10 years. A part of it follows:
"The steamer City of Fayetteville was built in 1904 by Merrell & Stevens, of Jacksonville, Fla., for a stock company composed of Lismon, Lorge & Co., of New York City, and others. For a year after the steamer was floated the original owners ran her between Fayetteville and Wilmington. They then sold out to the Cape Fear Steamboat Company, and the steamer has been in regular service since that time.
"The tonnage of the City of Fayetteville is 135, and she was guaranteed to draw not more than 18 inches with a full cargo aboard. She has a steel hull and was first equipped with tubular boilers, steam heat and electric lights. The passenger accommodations are good, better than any other steamer that ever ran on Cape Fear river. She was licensed to carry 125 passengers with a full cargo of freight.
[Wilmington Morning Star – Thursday, October 2, 1913]
The City of Fayetteville.
The contract for raising the City of Fayetteville has not yet been awarded but probably will be given some time this week. All the cotton has been removed, and everything is in readiness for beginning the work of raising the boat. The cause of her sinking has not been definitely determined.
[Wilmington Morning Star – Wednesday, October 8, 1913]
Boiler Removed From Vessel.
The Marine Railway Compaiy {misspelled}, which has the contract for raising the City of Fayetteville, which was sunk at the cotton compress dock here several weeks ago, succeeded yesterday in getting the boiler from the vessel, and expect within a short time to have the boat floated. It has not yet been possible to learn just what was the cause of the vessel's sinking, and this will not be known until she is raised. Her cargo of cotton was removed soon after she sank.
[Wilmington Morning Star – Tuesday, October 21, 1913.]
Quarterly report of the Harbor Master was read and approved.
The Harbor Master, Captain Edgar D. Williams, appeared in person before the Board and reported that under date of October 17, 1913, he had given notice to the Merchants and Farmers Steamboat Company that the wreck of their steamer City of Fayetteville, lying in the dock at the foot of Red Cross street, must be removed at once as it was an obstruction to navigation and a great hindrance to the traffic and commerce of the port; that the Merchants and Farmers Steamboat Company, through it president, Mr. Z. W. Whitehead, had replied, under date of October 20, 1913, stating that everything, possible was being done to remove the wrecked steamer, and that it was hoped to have all the wreckage cleared away in the course of three or four days; but that despite his (the Harbor Master's) repeated complaints since that time, the wreck still lay in the Red Cross street dock.
After a general discussion of the matter, the Commissioners instructed the Clerk to quote to the Merchants and Farmers' Steamboat Company, Rule No. 17, of the Port and Harbor Regulations, reading as follows:
"Should any hulk, raft, flat or other obstructive substance become sunken, from any cause, in the river, the same shall be immediately removed, under a penalty of Five Dollars for each and every day such nuisance shall remain, after notice from the Harbor Master, to be paid by the parties interested or concerned; and in case exertions are not immediately made for the removal aforesaid, the Commissioners may exercise their discretion of using other means of abating the nuisance, even to the confiscation or condemnation of such obstructions."
The Clerk was further instructed to say to the Merchants and Farmers' Steamboat Company that the Board had been very lenient about enforcing the above rule, in view of the most unfortunate casualty to the steamer City of Fayetteville, and the consequent heavy loss to the owners; but that the Commissioner felt that they were now bound to take a firm stand in the matter, because of their obligation to the commercial interests of the port as a whole, and that unless the wreck of the steamer City of Fayetteville be removed, on or before November 10, 1913, from its present position to a point where it will not interfere in any way with the river traffic of the port, the Board will be obliged to exact a penalty of $5 per day, provided in Rule No. 17, as long as the wreck remains an obstruction to navigation, and in addition thereto, to take such measures as may be found necessary to remove the obstruction, holding the Merchants and Farmers' Steamboat Company liable for the expense of such removal.
There has been some complaint made to the Board recently concerning the noise made by gasoline boats in the harbor, when their engines are used without mufflers, this noise being
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
L. BROWN McKOY, Clerk.
[Wilmington Morning Star – November 6, 1913]
NOTES: I have not yet found the record of the raising of the City of Fayetteville. The Wilmington Morning Star issue for November 11, 1913 was missing. I have read through November 13, 1913. It may be that reading further will produce the raising report, or it may have been in the missing issue.
The sister vessel of the City of Fayetteville was the steamer C. W. Lyon, which burned on November 14, 1913. Capt. Henry W. Edge, was a mate aboard the Lyon at the time of her burning. He jumped overboard and was drowned. Capt. Edge had been the master of the City of Fayetteville at the time of her sinking.
In 1905, the original boiler(s) of the City of Fayetteville was/were replaced by that/those which were in the steamer Highlander, which burned in 1904. Interesting that the Highlander burned just a week after it was reported in the State (Columbia, SC) newspaper that she was unprofitable.
In 1914, a replacement steamer, the KENNEDY, burned on her way up the Atlantic Coast to the Cape Fear.
Variety of Matters Considered at the
Regular Monthly Meeting Yesterday Morning.
Wilmington, N. C., Dec. 3rd, 1913.
Regular monthly meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Navigation and Pilotage was held today at the office of the chairman, with the following present: Chairman James Sprunt, and Commissioners H. G. Smallbones and William St. George.
The reading of the minutes of the last meeting were dispensed with, they having been published in the newspapers at the time and read by the commissioners.
It is understood that the wreck of the steamer City of Fayetteville has now been removed, although not within the time limit prescribed (on or before November 10th), but in view of the fact that the Merchants & Farmers' Steamboat Company worked on the wreck time and again trying to move it, and in consideration of their subsequent heavy loss through the destruction by fire of their other steamer, it is ordered that they be relieved of any fine….

Pros: It might not have made enough money to have a 3rd XXX
Cons: flimsy plot, terrible dialogue, poorly executed action sequences, wooden characters
The obvious intent of having a sequel to the first 'XXX' movie, was to capitalize of the popularity of it. Unfortunately, Vin Diesel wanted nothing to do with the film, and the creators decided they really didn't care, and fished around for someone to fill the shoes. Enter Ice Cube, as the NEW triple X. The attempt quickly becomes, to show how he is badder, tougher, and more lethal than the last XXX, and that he is basically an improvement on the original. Yawn. It was an expected facet of the movie, but at the same time, it is something that simply isn't true. Vin's character was as tough as they come and it was a mistake to think that they could pull this off without the main character of the first film. XXX is NOT James Bond, he cannot be replaced on a whim and expect people to come see the carnage.
I guess I should actually review the movie as well, but the point I am trying to establish, is that this is a Vin Diesel role, attempted to be filled by Ice Cube. Cube is good in his own right, but he simply isn't right for this role, and I think he hurt himself by trying to be. Samuel L. Jackson returns as Agent Augustus Gibbons who is basically in charge of the department which "creates" the XXX type soldiers. I am a huge fan of Jackson, but it seemed like he was just bored in his role as Gibbons, and recites the lines as if the image in front of us is computer animated, and he is back in some studio speaking into a microphone. To put it bluntly the dialogue is terrible, and there is nothing for the characters to really work with. Want someone else who doesn't have enough to do? How about Willem Dafoe who plays the evil General George Octaves Deckert. A man with extreme political ambition that wants to take the White House by force.
Deckert had commanded both Gibbons and Stone (Cube) in combat before, and things had gone terribly wrong. Defying orders, Gibbons and Stone had tried to save civilians that Deckert had condemned to death. The aftermath left Gibbons scared from the fire, and put Stone in jail for life. The movie picks up, as the NSA chapter that Gibbons is in charge of, has been hit by an unknown force, leaving everyone dead except for Gibbons and his tech wizard. This is where the dumbest moment in the movie occurs, as we are told that the old XXX has been killed overseas. I actually laughed when they chose to go that route to explain why Vin was not here. So, of course since Gibbons has no team left, he has to "go off the grid" and recruit his old buddy Stone to take on the role of the new XXX. Action ensues.
Together Stone and Gibbons must uncover a plot that has been set in motion by General Deckert, and they must put a stop to it before it is too late. (Insert Sarcastic Gasp) The plot itself hangs by a thread for the duration of the film, and the action sequences don't even make sense most of the time, as Ice Cube is only really intended to be a "cool guy" barely escaping from each situation he finds himself in. Blink for a second, and you will have no idea why any of the characters are doing anything in the film. If you actually do make it to the end of the film, you get to see sequences with CGI created trains and cars traveling almost 200 miles per hour as the climax draws near. A climax that you are glad ends the movie. I fully understand if you cannot finish this film once you start it, but I highly recommend you don't even start. Save your time and avoid this one, I know in retrospect that I would have liked to.

I watched a portion of a Lisa Ling documentary on homeless and the recession yesterday. It was both eye opening and incredibly sad. Don't try to tell the woman with three kids forced to walk the streets all weekend because the day shelters are closed that this is not a depression. 18 months ago, a lot of these people were blue collar workers living a paycheck away from homelessness. Then the paychecks stopped. If ever there was a call to preparedness, this is it. It doesn't take a hurricane to rob you of your home. It takes only a downturn in the economy coupled with a lack of savings and no way to reduce expenseses.
I was particularly struck by the older people who had adult children who did not know their parents were homeless. The parents had not told their kids because they did not wish to be a burden. I need to put my kids on notice right now. Remember all of the nights I sat up with you when you were sick? Remember the tuition, the soccer camp and the tennis rackets, the prom gowns and the home-cooked meals? I have every intention of being a burden to you. If not your family, the people who love you, then who? Society? Strangers?
On a more practical note. I am playing around with homemade cleaning solutions. The commercial stuff is expensive and tough on the environment. Rather than stockpile bottles and boxes of laundry soap and disinfectant, I hope to store the raw ingredients along with some reusable spray bottles. I got most of the supplies today and will start experimenting tomorrow. If you want to pass on your on favorite recipe, I would appreciate it. I am starting with liquid soap that will wash both hands and dishes. I will keep you appraised of my progress.

Veteran Nathan Block stands on the UAS campus last week. Once an inmate at Lemon Creek, Block is now in his second semester at the college and hopes to get his PhD.
Emily King, seated, listens as Nathan Block addresses a class at Yaakoosge Daakahidi. King is a senior at UAS. This fall, she organized a poetry workshop with both UAS and Lemon Creek students.
Story last updated at 12/4/2013 - 2:07 pm
This time last year, Nathan Block was in jail. A veteran who served two years in Iraq and three months in Afghanistan, when he returned he suffered from post traumatic stress disorder and had a hard time adjusting. He moved to Juneau to attempt to get away from it all, but ended up using drugs and robbing a downtown jewelry store. And then he ended up in jail.
Now, he's finishing up his second semester at the University of Alaska Southeast. He's the co-founder of the college's philosophy club. He won one of Woosh Kinaadeiyí's poetry slams. He's applying for a grant to start a community garden on campus. He volunteers to share his love of spoken word poetry with youth. He works part time as a peer advisor. And he credits much of his success post-release to The Flying University, a University of Alaska Southeast program started by UAS Assistant Professor of English and Philosophy Sol Neely.
"The Flying University totally kicked ass," Block said. "There are so many institutional structures in jail to treat drug addiction, to treat all this stuff, but it's all based in history, it's not based in the existential realities of the individual."
Other inmates, both inside and outside the jail, praise the program as well, saying it's had a positive impact on them.
The Flying University
The program started under a different name with Fall 2012 advanced English class Neely taught called "Fugitive Thought: Philosophy and Literature Born of the Prison." UAS students worked and attended class on campus, and at the end of the semester, participated in an integrated portion involving both philosophy and creative writing - and both "inside" and "outside" students - at Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
"It was just a marvelous success," Neely said. "Relationships were made, forged, in four weeks."
The next semester, Neely organized a Lemon Creek class on the philosophy of existentialism. In other classes, UAS student Anna Hoffman organized a three-week poetry seminar at the jail, Neely brought visiting philosophers Martin Matustik and Patricia Huntington into the jail as speakers, and UAS senior Emily King organized a five-week creative writing and cultural studies class UAS students and prisoners attended just because they wanted to - they didn't get any credit.
"That already is a testimony to the program and what it can do if it's drawing people on their own good will," Neely said.
King said she was impressed with how supportive everyone was of fellow students' writing, and how vulnerable they were willing to be.
In one exercise, each of them wrote a love poem. Then they passed it to the person sitting next to them, who read it out loud.
"It was just this really intense moment of vulnerability that everyone was willing to experience together," she said. "That's what keeps us wanting to go back in, is them being so willing to share, and so willing to be open, and because they're so vulnerable, we're able to be vulnerable, too."
"The prison classroom becomes a utopia," Neely said. "When you can have a respect for one another that's not based not off of the power model that constitutes the prison system, but rather respect based off vulnerability, it's a completely different kind of respect."
Neely has experience working in prisons in Indiana. When he arrived in Juneau, he knew he wanted to continue that work.
"The history of the prison system in the U.S. is thoroughly entangled with the history of racism," Neely said. "You can't separate the two. And I think that that's sort of the inspiration. We're born in the wake of historical violence that we maybe did not commit but we find ourselves having to heal, and I think that's what this is about."
The "inside-out prison exchange program" is also an inspiration, Neely said.
"Every prisoner has a story, and that's what we're really about attending to," Neely said. "The story of every prisoner. Prisoners are not reducible to their histories. They are incommensurable in some way with their histories and with the institution that they inhabit. However small that space of incommensurability is, that's the place of transformation. And the guys - they tap into it."
Next semester, Neely is planning a Native American literature class. Xh'unei Lance Twitchell may also teach some Tlingit language revitalization classes, Neely said.
King plans a literary journal of the inmates' work.
"They're always expressing gratitude for us going in there," Neely said. "It's a paradoxical kind of service. The more we go into the prison and the more we work with these guys, the more indebted to them I feel."
So far, about 15 UAS students and about 20 inmates have participated in the program.
Inmate Perspectives
With a mother who was a prostitute and a heroin addict, and a father who is a former Hell's Angel, Block said he grew up in Minnesota foster families and orphanages, finally getting adopted later on.
"None of it ever seemed to be the white picket fence dream that I was hoping I was going to get when I got out of my dysfunctional family and upbringing," he said.
In the summer of 2004, he found out his mom died of a heroin overdose. In 2005, he joined the Army.
"When I came back from Iraq, I couldn't really find myself, find my place," he said.
He started self-medicating with drugs.
"I ended up on just a horrible path. I couldn't get off the path. I didn't know what to do... I created all these caves," he said, referencing Plato's allegory.
His armed robbery was "the stupidest decision I've ever done," he said.
In a way, he says, jail was good for him, in that it got him off drugs. He also got to attend the Flying University.
"What I really appreciated about Sol's class is that he gave us the tools and the chance to artistically express ourselves," Block said. "In that class we had every... story possible inside this one room, and we all had the ability to realize we're not so different at all. We're people with stories, and people that are learning and experiencing life, and making mistakes, and learning from our mistakes, and suffering from our mistakes."
By helping them understand that, Block also said the class helped him get out of jail.
"If it wasn't for this class, I'd probably still be in jail," he said. "I would have ended up fighting (a couple) of these guys and not getting good time. That class allowed us to engage ourselves outside the confines of the gang mentality. We created a new mentality. The Flying University mentality."
Students still in jail expressed thanks as well. After King's poetry class, two wrote thank you letters. One preferred to remain anonymous.
"I was also somewhat astounded at how cordial and Respectful and Ready to launch y'all were... an atmosphere which I am not ... accustomed to... but like all capable inhabitants of the Jungle whose existence is based upon mere survival instincts I can adapt to uncharted territory," he wrote. "The way you brought Peace and Friendship into the mix... was appreciated... there's no way to adequately convey how it felt to be in the midst of such talented and educated and social people."
Shaka Levshakoff, a current resident of Lemon Creek, wrote a letter to Neely in early November. "Sol, what you are doing for me and all whom have participated in your offering of invaluable time, energy and wisdom is beyond tenable," he wrote. "Thank you. Please continue to feed us this much needed intellect that has allowed me to grow in such a metaphysical way." He also extended thanks to other participants and to King, specifically, for "exposing me to the beauty of poetry."
"I believe she has allowed me to tap into a gift that has been dormant and now I have another manifestation in my life that I am proud to proclaim," he wrote. "I will never forget that."
Once he got out of jail, Block had a hard time. He didn't know what to do, and the restrictions by which he had to abide (only so much time away from the halfway house, limitations on loans) made things more difficult, he said. With Neely's mentoring and his military benefits, however, he managed to enroll at UAS.
"What I realized is Sol set up a community inside the prison to embrace me as I came out," he said. "I felt like I was welcomed on the university. I've never really felt that way before about any other place."
It's not always easy. Sometimes, he gets depressed thinking about the years he's lost. Sometimes he feels the pull of addiction, something he expects to battle for the rest of his life. But Block said as the first Flying University student out of jail, he feels a responsibility to those still there.
"I have a responsibility to show them that the path is there and we can do this. It's hard... I have an ethical responsibility to my brothers and sisters in jail to show them you can do anything you want to do.... You're not reduced to the prison," he said.
He'd like to get his doctorate and teach philosophy overseas. He also doesn't feel right about the U.S.'s role in Iraq, and would like to go back to make a positive difference.
"I feel like I have a responsibility... to ask for forgiveness for what we've done over there," he said. "I'd like to teach English in Iraq one day. I don't know how realistic that is (due to violence), but I'm holding on to the dream."

Despite the increase in the trend of tourist arrivals in the recent times, experts of the global leisure industry say that Sri Lanka needed to take a serious look at making policy changes to incorporate new concepts such as the shared economy in Sri Lanka's tourism industry.
Advisor on Shared Economy to the World Economic Forum, April Rinne stated that with changing trends in terms of technology and innovative ventures, Sri Lanka needed to adapt according to the changes that was happening worldwide.
During her presentation at the recently held Future of Tourism Summit in Colombo, Rinne stated that most part of the world was going through a sea change in terms of business models for tourism. She pointed out that new ventures and mobile based applications had changed the way tour operators looked at the industry.
She said that having a shared economic concept would help boost Sri Lanka's tourism sector since it would reduce several practical issues faced in terms of logistics and accommodation.
She stated that 80% of vehicles on the roads worldwide had just one passenger, which, in turn, had resulted in wastage of time, energy and space. In addition, she also pointed out that a car remains parked or stationary for over 20 hours on average per day.
She said that several innovative concepts such as applications that allows passengers who do not have a ride to a destination to get connected to a vehicle traveling in the same direction, could be used to a great extent for tourists to reach their destinations without much hassle.
In addition she also pointed out that 99 percent of tour guides around the world had zero online presence.
Partner, Swiss Hospitality Solutions, Wilhelm Weber speaking at the summit said the industry needed an educated and motivated next generation.
He pointed out that the country's Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) needed to be strengthened to ensure that the money earned through tourism stays within the country.
Accordingly, over 60 percent of the rooms available in the country are either three-star or less. Wilhelm stated that the SME sector, which has a larger presence needed to be a focus since it was the backbone of the economy.
Speaking further, he pointed out that having expats handling key areas of the sector would not reflect the true identity of Sri Lanka. "We should have more local people for the tourist to interact with. The international players do not know about the country and its culture," he said.
"They (international players) look at how they could earn the money. But the country needs a strong SME sector and a vibrant younger generation," he said.

At present, the "Eternal Flame" ability is a talent in the level 45 "healing" tier for the paladin class in the MoP Beta, it is a holy power-based 30 second HoT with a single target restriction. It won't be a surprise to you that I'm bringing up this talent because I have problems with it, since I'm certain it's quite rare for people to open a discussion on this particular subject simply to offer praise.
As a talent, Holy and Prot players might consider this talent, but primarily for mathematical reasons over anything else. Questions start to come to mind when considering it, questions like "How is it affected by haste, and do the ticks crit?" or "How often [am I]/[is my target] in a damaged state for this to not be wasted on overhealing?", and it's not really a mechanically compelling ability; it's a HoT, that's about it.
One of the problems is that this talent can easily become your only choice if it's broken down to simply do better numbers. Heck, it'd be unambiguously mandatory for holy if it weren't for the target limit (Thank the light for that).
But the real kicker here is that I simply cannot see Retribution using this talent, ever. Not in pvp, definitely not in raiding. Retribution paladins already have to maintain a holy-power based buff through inquisition, and at least that increases your damage, Eternal Flame does no such thing.
Worse yet, the other choices are simply better. Sacred shield, while not absorbing as much as Eternal Flame heals, only costs mana, and it also buffs your FoL crit chance by quite an amount. Even in the middle of nowhere getting bared down on by another melee class, with the new Devotion Aura it isn't far-fetched to have a ret paladin spam flash of light in a pinch to get themselves back up, so that crit means a lot. Selfless Healer is entirely passive and even if you never use it on anyone other than yourself it's still fairly useful in a pinch.
And if a ret paladin needs to burn holy power to heal their self there's still WoG, there's even a glyph for it which (Albeit only slightly) mitigates the damage loss, for which Eternal Flame has no such thing.
So really, I just don't see the appeal of this talent, unless of course I'm missing something here.

Forum:Good example of medical tricorderEdit
Can anybody help me? I'm going to give a talk about medical imaging and I'd like a good clip showing the use of a medical tricorder (ideally from the Original Series, Next Generation if not). I'd appreciate suggestions of which episodes to look at (with a short note saying how the tricorder is being used if you're feeling really helpful) and then I'll get a screenshot or a short clip.
Many, many thanks. This will save me a LOT of time -- AdamPG 14:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- TNG: "Angel One", about 14 and a half minutes into it. Very close shot of Dr. Crusher opening and using it to scan Cpt Picard. --Cyno01 07:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- A good episode would the TNG episode "True Q" which shows some examples of how the tricorder works and Dr. Crusher explains what each of the images mean. --Captain Jon 02:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Shouldn't we have a picture of Dr. McCoy's hand scanner? Isn't that part of the medical tricorder? There is a separate article, I suppose, so perhaps the photo should go there. Nonetheless, it seems a curious omission. --JonCruz
Real world Edit
- An earliest rendition of the medical tricorder was invented by 2009.
We've had similar discussions before...this isn't a tricorder and doesn't belong. It may be called a tricorder but it's not - if it is to be included it should be in an "external link" section only and even then we don't link to stuff like this on other articles I don't see why this would be any different... — Morder (talk) 09:24, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
Hell, I just checked again and it isn't even called a tricorder just a medical imaging device from a cellphone. — Morder (talk) 09:26, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
