It's halfway through the season and the Blackhawks still don't have a loss in regulation.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Halfway through the season and the Hawks are 21-0-3.
Not even coach Joel Quenneville would have believed this could happen if someone had told him before the season it was possible.
"Nobody in their right mind," Quenneville said.
"I think you want to be objective and optimistic when you start the season," Quenneville said. "When I say start, your start is usually five or 10 games and it has gone on here now. It's been a lot of fun and we're very pleased, shocked, surprised, you can use a different term."
The Hawks have won a franchise record 11 games in a row, own the NHL record for best start at 24 games without a loss in regulation, and are within five games now of Philadelphia's league mark of 35 games with at least a point.
They are 13-0-3 in 1-goal games, the latest being Wednesday's 3-2 win over Colorado on Daniel Carcillo's goal with 50 seconds to play.
"I'd say No. 1, it's really exciting for our fans," captain Jonathan Toews said. "It gives them something to be really pumped about. We're staying very realistic in this locker room. If we don't keep working and doing the right things, we're not going to have the same success. We've said all along our No. 1 priority is to build ourselves as a team to be the best we can later on and in the postseason.
"We're taking it one game at a time, but it's definitely fun to come to the rink and be in the locker room with these guys."
The win on Wednesday was the fourth time the Hawks had to rally in the third period to get at least 1 point.
"We never go away, we never give up, we keep coming at them, whether we have guys injured and basically playing three lines (like Wednesday)," Toews said. "We keep coming at them."
When Toews looks at 21-0-3, he has a hard time fathoming how the Hawks got here.
"You want to go out there and win every game, you want to give yourself a chance," Toews said. "Most of the time it's not realistic to think you're going to win every night, but we're playing great. There's no special equation, no magic going on, it's just work ethic. It's the depth of our team kicking in. We're working for every little chance we get and every little piece of offense. It's all those little details that we're really playing a complete game.
"Obviously you're not going to go out flying and dominate every period, but even in those moments where maybe we're back on our heels, we're playing smart and making it tough for other teams to create offense in our zone."
Trailing 2-1 going into the third period against the Avs, the Hawks felt calm on the dressing room during the second intermission.
"We've been in that position many times this year and we didn't feel any pressure," Toews said. "What we've been through lately really gives us that confidence that we can go into the third period, down a goal, and we have a great feeling that somehow, some way, we're going to find a way."
"There's no special handshake we do in the room here, no rah-rah-rah, or anything like that," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "It's hockey. It's just playing the right way, everybody worried about doing their role and doing their job."
It has been seemingly a different hero every night for the Hawks. On Wednesday, it happened to be Carcillo.
"That's been a big key to our success, having different guys step up," Keith said. "We're rolling all four lines, all six D and both goaltenders."

Advantages of the Normline series of sensors include a recessed 20 turn potentiometer, no pre-dampening on non-flush models, larger diameter sensors, and simultaneous NO and NC outputs on all DC models. The adjustment potentiometer is hidden under a flap which makes bumping into and turning the potentiometer accidentally impossible. By having 20 turns of adjustment Rechner offers a more precise adjustment that can lead to greater reliability of the sensor vs. the market standard ¾-turn potentiometer. The Normline Series is available in standard sizes of M18 and M30, and a larger diameter M32. The larger diameter sensor can provide the end user a 20% greater sensing range with just a 2mm larger diameter sensor.

Peter Sinclair writes at Climate Denial Crock of the Week:
I've pointed out before the comfy co-existence of racism and climate change denial on display at the recent CPAC convention, and been criticized for making so obvious a connection. Well, here it is again.
If you pick up the video above at about 2:48, you'll see a recap of this week's kerfuffle about a senior analyst at the "conservative" Heritage Foundation, and his, well, uh, frank, views on white supremacy.
Heritage, one of DC's leading sewerpipes of climate denial, claims they had no idea one of their guys was a cross-burner – but watch the video and you'll see him – at a public meeting covered by CSpan – spew a nauseating race-vs-IQ spiel that would be worthy of, well, the Wall Street Journal.
But even the Journal cut that shit out 20 years ago.
Maybe there should be research into the DNA and brain structure of climate deniers and racists, to find out if both behaviors spring from the same genetic deficiency. And maybe the Heritage Foundation should do a report on that. And maybe it should be published in the Wall Street Journal.
It's just a thought.

Places Third in Discus at IC4As
PRINCETON, N.J. – Sophomore Mike Levine earned All-East honors after his performance at the IC4A Championships at Princeton last weekend. The top eight finishers in each event were selected to the All-East team.
Levine took third place in the discus with a throw of 51.83m on Saturday, also competing in the hammer throw the day before. Levine has put on a streak of impressive performances this season, building off his win in the discus at outdoor Heptagonals.
Levine's third-place finish netted the Bulldogs six points to come in 33rd place overall.

The mission of Dallas Theological Seminary is to
glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders
for the proclamation of His Word and the
building up of the body of Christ worldwide.
When I graduated from college, like so many other fervent students, I wanted to change the world. Call it what you will, I was determined to make a difference, defy conventional wisdom, confront the status quo, and challenge the process. At that time, I was sure that these elevated aspirations were noble, but there was something wrong with my graduate enthusiasm: I was more interested in being recognized for having changed the world than anything else. But at DTS I learned that leadership is defined by servant-hood. Here, Dr. Darrell Bock, my professor and internship supervisor, has been my greatest inspiration in complementing charisma, commitment, creativity, and servant-hood. I was also encouraged to combine theory with practice and to approach theology from a wider spectrum, in which the study of Scripture is concerned with imaginative work that will assist me to promote and engage in practical matters for the church.
I came to DTS because I was convinced that theology presents the single greatest chance for me to make a difference, both in the life of the church and in terms of influencing the broader fabric of society. My education at DTS helped me develop a theological foundation that will assist me in the ministries of the church, but also in advancing the academic study of biblical literature and its cultural contexts.
Hoping to be a servant-leader, a catalyst of renewal and reform, I want to train other leaders in Eastern Europe, calling them to renew their minds by pursuing new ways of thinking, to create an environment for progress, and to engage in persuasive and authentic interactions. Through teaching in seminary and writing Christian literature, my vision is to equip other Christian leaders to better understand God's Word and its relevancy to their lives and culture.
My degree from DTS will assist me in reaching my vocational goals, and consequently will make me an asset to my community, my country (Romania), and eventually the world.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The trial of a sex offender charged with killing three women in Cleveland has been pushed back to November.
Court records show that a Cuyahoga County judge granted Michael Madison's request for a continuance on Tuesday. The trial was scheduled to begin next Monday.
The new trial date is Nov. 3.
Judge Nancy McDonnell delayed the trial as an appeals court examines her ruling to force Madison to take a psychological exam.
Madison is charged with killing the women and leaving their bodies in trash bags in a rundown East Cleveland neighborhood. He has pleaded not guilty.
The bodies were found in July 2013 after police were called about an odor coming from a garage.

Submission + - Villains & Vigilantes Creators Sue Publisher (cadenhead.org)
rcade writes: "Jeff Dee and Jack Herman, the creators of the super-hero roleplaying game Villains & Vigilantes, have filed a federal copyright lawsuit against the game's longtime publisher Scott Bizar of Fantasy Games Unlimited. They allege that Bizar has no rights to publish the game because his corporation was dissolved in 1991, reverting the rights to them. Dee and Herman revived the old-school RPG last year and have been battling Bizar ever since. Sadly, this suit will not be resolved by muscle-bound men in tights."

Jehovah's Witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination with 7 million practicing members[1] worldwide.
The group is well known for their door-to-door ministry, non-participation in politics (i.e. not voting), objection to war and military action, and refusal to accept blood transfusions.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that blood is a sacred representation of life and that God forbids its use for purposes other than atonement for sin (sacrifice). They have thus forbidden their followers from eating meat from which the blood has not been drained, food products containing blood, and from receiving blood transfusions, regardless of its medical necessity and of the consequences to their life or health.
Specifically, they are directly forbidden from willingly accepting a transfusion of stored whole blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, on penalty of excommunication and the threat of God's disfavor. Preoperative extraction followed by postoperative re-transfusion of their own blood is also banned, though certain intraoperative re-transfusion procedures are allowed.
They are directed to follow their own personal conscience in deciding to use other components of blood, or other products derived from or produced in blood (such as antivenins).
One of the controversial aspects of their refusal to accept blood transfusions is in that, against the advice of their doctors and surgeons, they often hold their critically ill minor children to the same rule, who are themselves not mature enough to decide to follow the belief willfully. In many cases a temporary guardian must be appointed by court order to make medical decisions for the child.
In some cases where parents actively prevent their child from being given a blood transfusion, usually through legal action but sometimes by leaving the hospital with their child before state guardianship can be ordered, proper care and treatment has been delayed or neglected. This has occasionally resulted in charges of negligence against the parents.

Mothers Agony As Her Baby Is Born DEAD For Eight Minutes
A young mum has told of her agony after her baby was born dead until a miracle happened.
Her daughter Evelie was born without a heartbeat, and doctors worked mainly for eight minutes trying to resuscitate the tot without any luck.
Suddenly, however, her heart started beating on its own and the infant is now making incredible progress.
Mother Bethanie Millar, from Shropshire in the UK, was rushed to hospital after her waters broke and they were green.
Midwives could only detect a very faint heartbeat before they transferred Bethanie to another hospital.
By the time she got there, Evelie had no heartbeat and Bethanie was given an emergency C-section.
Bethanie said "I was awake when doctors told me they couldn't detect a heartbeat, I was so scared.
"I then went straight into an emergency C-section, it all happened so fast.
"When I came round, my mum and sister were by my bed crying.
"I knew something bad had happened, but I was so out of it I thought I was still pregnant." When Evelie started breathing again, it wasn't the end of the worry as ''he had to be transferred to Stoke-on-Trent and I wasn't allowed to go with her."
Evelie spent three months in the hospital, and when Bethanie finally made it to the hospital she was moved to, she was told Evelie might not make it.The mum of two said ''Doctors said she'd be a vegetable. I couldn't stop crying. "They told me she wouldn't be able to see, hear or move."
However, the family never gave up, and their positivity has paid off as after 84 days in the hospital, Evelie could be taken home.
Bethanie's mother Nikki said "She's our little miracle.
"She sits up; she's happy - she even clapped her hands before she was supposed to. "We won't know the extent of the damage if any until she's two years old, but she's incredible."

The History Show Sunday 19 May 2013
On this evening's programme, we're marking the 50th anniversary of JFK's visit to Ireland in 1963, we look at the lot of women in Viking Dublin, we talk to the authors of a new book on the history of childhood illnesses in Ireland and we preview next month's History Festival of Ireland.
Where were you when JFK visited Ireland?
To mark the 50th anniversary of JFK's visit to Ireland, that is the question being asked by The National Library of Ireland, the US Embassy, the National Archives and the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
Together, they will be launching an interactive website and app where people can share their memories of the visit and this will be linked to a multimedia exhibition, JFK: Homecoming, which will be opening at the National Library on 21 June.
On the 30th of May they will be holding a collection day where you can bring along your memories or memorabilia relating to JFK's visit to be part of this project.
First, Orla Rapple went to New Ross to talk to local people about their memories of the visit.
And then, Myles was joined in studio by Katherine McSharry from the National Library and Susan Cleary from the US embassy.
If you would like to share your 1963 JFK visit-related story you should email firstname.lastname@example.com to book.
When you think of a Viking, chances are you'll imagine a man in a horned hat. But in this image, we're overlooking one very important aspect of life in Viking Ireland – the women. But who were these women and where did they come from? Rhona Tarrant spoke to Pat Wallace about the other half of the Vikings.
Event details- You can hear more about the lives of Viking women at the 15th Medieval Dublin Symposium in Trinity College next Saturday, May 25th. And Pat Wallace will also be giving a talk on Friday, 24th May in Tousist in Co. Kerry entitled 'The Road to Abbeyfeale - Changing Horses in O'Connells Time' and that will be happening at 8pm.
For more details you can call Frank (086) 8293220
Last year a unique event took place in the grounds of Lisnavagh House in Carlow in mid June. It was the first History Festival, largely sponsored by Eigse, the annual Carlow based arts event.
Well it's back this year, though at a different venue, and a very interesting one at that, Duckett's Grove in Carlow. Myles was joined in studio by curator Turtle Bunbury.
The History Festival takes place in Duckett's Grove near Castledermot, Co, Carlow on 15/16 June.
Two hundred years ago in this country, it was the norm rather than the exception for parents to attend the funerals of their children. But surviving into adulthood wasn't the only challenge they faced. Infectious diseases often left them deformed or crippled. This was the time before effective prevention or treatment of common childhood diseases was available.
A new book brings together accounts of childhood illness, treatment and prevention from 1750 to 1950.
Growing Pains is the first ever history of the welfare and care of Irish children by the State and its editors, Anne MacLellan and Alice Maugher joined Myles in studio.
Growing Pains- Childhood Illness 1750-1950 edited by Anne MacLellan and Alice Maugher is published by Irish Academic Press.
Bringing the past to life! Discover how our world was shaped as Myles Dungan and guests explore events ranging from medieval times to the recent past.
We want to help explain ourselves to ourselves. We will search out fresh angles on familiar topics, seek out the unfamiliar and will not shy away from bizarre or controversial issues. Our ultimate goal is to make The History Show the primary port of call for those with an intense or even a modest interest in the subject. We want to entice the casual and the curious to join us in celebrating the past.
Our aim is to create informative, reflective, stimulating and above all, entertaining radio.
Join us on Sundays from 6.05pm for The History Show with Myles Dungan on RTÉ Radio 1.
A Pegasus production for RTÉ.

The Cyrus girls are sticking together. Three days after Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus announced their divorce, the ladies in the family seem to be doing just fine.
PHOTOS: Miley and Liam Hemsworth--the way they were
The brood's most famous member, Miley Cyrus, shared a photo of herself, 13-year-old sister, Noah, and and their mom on Saturday, June 15, captioning the photo, "The baddest bitches in the WORLD."
In the Twitter photo, the "We Can't Stop" singer. 20, wears a black beanie hat, black sunglasses and makes a peace sign with her left hand. Noah, in a denim top and a knitted beanie hat, sits closely next to Tish, who smiles broadly and wears a striped shirt and black sunglasses.
Hours later, the former Disney actress posted another with her mom, captioning the photo with three hearts. In the photo, the singer dons a red jumpsuit and a dark shade of red lipstick. Tish, 53, looks happy, wearing jeans and a brown leather jacket.
PHOTOS: Miley's hair evolution
While Miley seems to be taking her mom's side in the split, the 20-year-old did send her dad love for Father's Day.
"Happy Daddy Day @billyraycyrus," she tweeted with a heart on Sunday, June 16.
Her tone was quite different on the day of her parents' divorce announcement, when she wrote in a cryptic tweet: "Billy Ray Cyrus, since your text and email obviously aren't working would you like to talk like this?"
PHOTOS: Miley's raciest outfits ever
The 51-year-old "Achy Breaky Heart" singer and Tish have been married for 19 years. They previously announced a divorce in October 2010 before reconciling in March 2011.
The couple have three children together -- Miley, male model Braison, 19, and Noah. Billy Ray also adopted Brandi, 26, and Trace, 24, Tish's children from a previous relationship.

Once again, our state government misses the mark on one of the largest agency expenditures that can be easily cut and save millions, if not billions, of dollars. From the governor�s office on down we see the waste occuring and say and do nothing about it.
First, Springfield is the seat of government, not Chicago. Eliminate the expensive use of real estate, travel, hotels and per diem costs by locating all offices in Springfield. The rents and the cost of living are cheaper.
Second, require that all the senior staff from the governor on down live in Springfield. We currently have employees who live in Chicago or out of state commuting from their homes to Chicago to Springfield and back more than once during the week. With computers and other electronic media, they do not need to live any closer than Springfield to run the state.
Third, require that all senior staff reside in the state capital if they want to work for the state.
Fourth, conduct annual audits of all employee traveling expenses, FMLA and medical disability, look for patterns of abuse and investigate them.
Also, require all contracts to be audited by the independent state auditors. Conduct an independent audit on a yearly basis to ensure that all employees of the state are qualified to do the job they have been hired for. Establish work performance benchmarks for all state jobs, and have an independent evaluation of individual employees to assess their efficacy and efficiency.
I could continue ad nauseam to recite long-established patterns of abuse and waste. Maybe the Chicago Civic Federation can analyze these patterns of abuse, but perhaps their members may be part of the problem.

1st inning walk and a two-out RBI by Manny. Harang down already 1 zip.
1st inning walk and a two-out RBI by Manny. Harang down already 1 zip.
Dickerson goes down on one pitch. That is what you like to see out of the leadoff batter - look at one pitch. What a boneheaded team. Who is the manager anyway?
Cabrera takes a rare free pass with one down.
Line drive home run by Joey Votto and he hands Harang a 2-1 lead.
good thing cabrera took a walk. dusty hates them base cloggers though
Does Paul Keels make anyone else miss George Grande? He's getting better, but he's still not very good. At least tonight he apparently took some time to memorize the names of the opposing team's players. Give me Jim Kelch!
Rolen with a jack...3-1 good guys!
So is Rolen's power back for real? Awesome if so.
Alright Aaron, don't give the lead back! But lets pile on more first!
Back-to-back singles place runners on the corners. Come on, Harang.
Pitcher is going to sacrifice and the ball gets away from Hernandez and the runner moves to second.
Harang K's the pitcher for the second out in the second. Harang is at 43 pitches already. I am thinking he is good for six max. More work for the BP tonight.
BOOO!!!!! Double by Furcal and we are tied. Way to protect that lead, Aaron.
well that lasted all of 2 seconds...
This is pathetic. Harrang does not belong anywhere near a rotation in MLB.

Denver jazz singer Patrice LeBlanc books the Crossroads Theater, located at 2590 Washington St., and it's getting busy over there. "Our logo is "Bringing jazz back to the Point, because jazz historically was in Five Points," reminds LeBlanc. "We want this series to support local musicians."

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Ben Affleck is comparing U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to past campaign losers Al Gore, Michael Dukakis and Bob Dole.
But the actor and director, who has been outspoken in support of Democratic causes in the past, also doesn't offer full-throated support for President Barack Obama.
He says that while he voted for Obama in 2008, he now has "more complicated feelings" about the president.
Affleck says Republicans' chances of beating Obama have slipped away because of Romney's failure to connect with everyday Americans. He called the former Massachusetts governor "a sort of Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, Bob Dole type."
Affleck — who is promoting his new film "Argo" — said he expects Obama to win the November election but he's worried about a "permanent downtrend" in the country.

I am going to use a hammock for the first time on the Lost Coast Trail in Northern Cali and am wondering if i need a pad or not.... the lows for july are about 50 according to weather.com. Do others use pads always are only for cooler weather?

You are right on the borderline as far as needing a pad. If you are a warm sleeper you will probably be fine. I would think about maybe taking a cheap blue WalMart pad with you just in case. Are you using any other kind of bottom insulation?
Wind would also factor in on if you need a pad or not. Be sure to set up your tarp perpendicular to the wind and that will stop a lot of drafts.

I think you'll find a wide array of opinion here on the forum concerning pads, quilts, underquilts, etc. It's the best place to learn about hammocking.
As for me, I use a sectional pad. During cold weather I take everything, body section, lower leg section, and side wing extensions. See my gallery for some pics of the sectional pad. Spring and Fall I ditch the lower legs section. During summer, if I take anything at all, I'll only take the lower leg section. It is sized to fit my Thermarest lounger chair. Sometimes an occassional dip in nighttime temp during summer makes me glad I have it. Or if I find myself perching on a rock enjoying the scenic view the pad makes it softer on the butt. All the sectional pieces are made from 3/8 Closed cell foam (CCF) and slip covered with Neatsheet material. They fit together via velcro.
In summary, you must learn what is right for you at different temperatures. Hammocking, IMHO, is so much more comfortable than tenting, offers greater flexibility of where to camp, and weighs in at great numbers. The downside or reality is that there is a learning curve to it. I've been at it for a while and still learn from this forum about how to do things easier, lighter, or more effectively. There are a bunch of good people here. Check in often.
Good luck now that you've begun the adventure of hammocking!!
Yes. Very few people sleep warmly enough that they don't need some sort of bottom-side insulation at 50 F. A pad is one option...there are a few others.
Be sure to use it a time or seven before you rely on it in the field. It would suck to have your whole trip ruined b/c you can't sleep at night...especially if it's a very simple fix if you'd known about it beforehand. There's definitely a learning curve. This forum, the hammock archives at www.whiteblaze.net, and a handful of websites have plenty of information to keep you warm, dry and comfortable...just figure out what works for you before you hike out.
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. ~Judge Joseph Story

Your bum will thank you. Take a pad.
"Every day above ground is a good day"
So what is a reasonable temp to just use one quilt, say 65 and up? I would think that anything less with a breeze underneath would be to much convective heat loss. Not having much experience with a hammock I have been thinking about summer use. I would like to lighten my load even more by just bringing one quilt. Would it be more advisible to use the Nest underneath and wear a fleece shirt letting the quilt wrap around or use nothing underneath and use it as a top quilt? How do some of you do it?
"Physics is the only true science. All else is stamp collecting." - J. J. Thompson
I have actually hiked a little in the redwoods. I think the one thing you will find with using a pad, especially in that area, is that you will build up a lot of moisture between you and the pad. I like using a pad, but that is one problem. Have fun on your hike and try to stay dry (I know it won't happen, but try).
For me it was actually too warm for a 1/4" pad in the mid 50s, but everyone is different. However, with out the pad I got a little chilly. I think in an area like the pacific northwest one should have a hammock sock. I think this could prevent a lot of condensation and also help with blowing wind.

Yeah well. Sit back.
So yeah. Got some totally bogan apartment slippers. In a sense, kinda like ugh boots used to be. Until an American company ripped them off, started producing them in China with fake wool, and then had the hide to sue the Australians. To a certain degree, come Tuesday, you'll get the president you deserve, America. Meanwhile Aussies will enjoy the Melbourne Cup.
Meanwhile, how is this in any concept the PM we deserved?!?!?

"Greetings, my friends – We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives."
— Criswell, "Plan 9 From Outer Space"
Welcome to the new iteration of Hero Complex. Well, not entirely new, as we'll continue to bring genre fans the smartest possible stories from the worlds of science fiction, fantasy and horror across all media – film, TV, comic books, video games, literature and the Web. But what is new is me – I am delighted to now be the lead writer and editor of Hero Complex. I thought it appropriate to take a quick minute to introduce myself.
I grew up in Indianapolis, and every Friday night, my dad and I would stay up watching late-night monster movies hosted by local ghoul Sammy Terry (and his pet rubber spider George). My dad was also the person who took me to see "Star Wars" in a neighborhood theater when I was probably far too young to go – being a fundamentally responsible parent, he also was willing to leave the movie when I got scared during the cantina scene. Fortunately, we tried again a few weeks later, and I was hooked. I still have the Han Solo action figure I carried with me for a lot of years during grade school, though it would probably take me a minute to find it.
My passion for fantastic tales has never wavered. It led me to launch a horror magazine called Wicked — during its brief life, I had the chance to spotlight some of the people who most inspire me — Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Tim Burton, among them. And some of you might have noticed that I've contributed as a writer to Hero Complex for a while as well, interviewing filmmakers including Sam Raimi, Guillermo del Toro and, yes, Burton (most recently about his upcoming return to stop-motion, "Frankenweenie"). I've also written quite frequently about "True Blood" and "The Walking Dead," and I've even turned in a couple of book reviews and an essay here or there.
With Geoff Boucher moving on to the next phase of his career, Hero Complex, too, is embarking on a new future, which means you'll be hearing from me far more frequently, and probably seeing me, too, at IMAX screenings of new films and other events around town, not to mention Comic-Con International in San Diego next July.
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the future. Hope to see you there.

Facepalm: The Wingnut Word-Counting Brigade Springs Into Action Again
'Tis the season for wingnuts to recycle their anti-Obama memes, and once again we find them diligently counting words in Obama's speeches, in order to prove — prove, I say! — that the President is an uppity malignant narcissist who thinks he's important for some reason: Obama Uses Funeral Service to Talk About Himself | the Weekly Standard.
President Barack Obama used the funeral for Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word "my" 21 times, "me" 12 times, and "I" 30 times.
If you saw the President's speech about Daniel Inouye, you know it was a touching, heartfelt tribute to the Senator from Obama's state of birth. So naturally, the right wing was provoked into paroxysms of rage and personal pronoun-counting.
This non-argument is not supposed to convince anyone (how could it?); it's just a numb-skulled tactic the wingnut chattering classes have been using to rile up the knuckle-draggers for years, recycling it at periodic intervals when they can't think of any other way to attack Obama.
For example, here's our post on an idiotic word-counting exercise by George Will in 2009: Ready … Set … Now Count Those Words!
At least we know some of them can actually count.

Pleasant Street in Framingham is as pleasant as its name, but a proposal to turn a former seminary into a campus for Walden Behavioral Care has sparked a less-than-pleasant controversy.
Pleasant Street in Framingham is as pleasant as its name. Attractive, single-family homes line its sides and fill the established subdivisions that branch off of it. One of its most pleasant features is a lush, 22-acre campus of sweeping lawns, tree-lined lanes and stately buildings, for 70 years a seminary and retreat center run by the Marist Brothers.
The Marist Brothers have moved on, and a proposal to turn the property into a campus for Walden Behavioral Care has sparked a less-than-pleasant controversy.
Walden, which has been operating in Waltham for 10 years, specializes in eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and behaviors leading to obesity, and mood disorders, mostly depression. Its clients, both residential and out-patient, are mostly women. As its president and CEO, Dr. Stuart L. Koman, has explained in extensive meetings with neighboring residents, Walden is a private hospital whose carefully-screened patients pose no threat to anyone.
Neighbors have raised several legitimate issues Koman has addressed. Changes have been made to the site plan in response to residents' concerns, moving two proposed buildings deeper into the site and changing an existing entrance so that headlights won't shine in a neighbor's window. Plans call for two new, one-story buildings, with most of the activity on the back part of the property, between the existing four-story Marist House building and the Mass. Pike. The view from Pleasant Street – the wide green front lawn, handsome trees, the wooded buffer between the buildings and Temple Street, will remain the same.
Less legitimate is the charge from some neighbors that Walden's patients are a threat. They've used last year's shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., to argue that people with mental illness shouldn't be allowed within walking distance of Framingham's Brophy School. This isn't just wrong, it is offensive and discriminatory. People with eating disorders and depression are no more prone to violence than anyone else. They live here, and they have a right to get health care here.
Yes, the project will generate traffic, and there are times during the week when Pleasant and Temple streets, like most of Framingham, are choked with traffic. But it won't necessarily generate more traffic than a 40-home subdivision – the most likely alternative - or most other imaginable uses for the property.
There are compelling arguments in favor of this proposal. Since Walden is a private, for-profit company, the land will be put back on the tax rolls. Framingham, already a regional center for health care, will gain another leader in the field. Walden will bring jobs to the town. Then there are the patients it will help, many from Framingham and nearby communities.
But the key issue has to do with the neighbors' complaints that anything except single-family residential homes on the Marist property will ruin "the integrity of the neighborhood." For more than 70 years, this island of open space has been a great asset to the neighborhood. It has never been open for public use, and it wouldn't be under Walden's plan, but most everyone who walks or drives by appreciates its beauty. In our view, bulldozing the Marist campus and replacing it with 40 more houses wouldn't preserve the integrity of the neighborhood, it would harm it.
Most neighbors would prefer quiet, undeveloped lots nearby stay that way forever. But something will be built on the Marist property. The Walden medical facility, a use specifically permitted in that zone with a special permit from the ZBA, would be an asset to Framingham while preserving one of Pleasant Street's most pleasant spots.

LOS ANGELES — A NASA flying saucer designed to test Mars lander technology could be launched on Earth this weekend.
The space agency says Saturday marks the opening of a launch window for the disc. If the weather cooperates, a balloon will carry it from a Navy range on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The disc will be released, then rocket high into the atmosphere and return using a giant parachute.
The same parachute design could slow landers and rovers streaking through the thin Martian atmosphere.
High winds at the range forced authorities to miss the original two-week launch window for the experiment earlier this month.
The new potential launch dates are Saturday through July 1 and July 3.

In ancient Greek and Roman times, people were suggested to "eat more cress and learn more wit" as it was considered a brain tonic. Persian mothers fed watercress to their children so they would grow strong and tall. Watercress stimulates bile production, detoxifies the liver, and builds chi. As a medicine food, watercress is considered an alterative (blood purifier), antioxidant, antipyretic (lowers fever), antiscorbutic (prevents scurvy), antiseptic, aphrodisiac, diuretic, expectorant, hypoglycemic, laxative, metabolic stimulant, and nutritive. Watercress has been used throughout history to treat anemia, asthma, bronchitis, cancer, canker sores, dermatitis, diabetes, eczema, edema, eye disorders, flatulence, goiter, gout, hair loss, headaches (due to nerves), infection, jaundice, yellow mucus, obesity, urinary stones, poor teeth, and tuberculosis. Watercress can prevent free radical damage the formation of aging lipofuscin pigments.
Watercress is considered alkaline, pungent, bitter, sweet, and warm. Cooking decreases its pungency, but decreases the nutritional value. Watercress is rich in beta carotene, chlorophyll, folic acid, vitamin C, E, bioflavonoids, calcium, iodine, iron, manganese, potassium, sulfur, zinc, and, sulphur. The leaves are used in salads, mixed with milder greens, sandwiches, dips, soups, and as a garnish. It combines well with a bit of citrus flavor. Add to vegetable juices.
Topically watercress can be used as a tonic to encourage thick hair growth. The juice is applied to skin to clear acne, blemishes, eczema, and freckles. Use as a poultice for glandular and lymphatic swellings.
Watercress can harbor parasites such as liver flukes if collected from contaminated water, so a thorough washing, soaking in a natural cleansing solution, or cooking is first is suggested. Lively up yourself with watercress!

Raiders pulling plug on 2011 third-round pick
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2012, 10:45 AM EDT
http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.word...8879.jpg?w=375 Getty ImagesAs Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie continues to settle in as the new captain of the teams front office, hes not afraid to overturn the decisions of his predecessor, the late Al Davis.
Per a league source, McKenzie and company will be waiving today cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke.
Van Dyke, a third-round pick in 2011 who appeared in 14 games with four starts last year, fit the former vision for the franchise. He was fast. The fastest man at last years Scouting Combine, running the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds.
The move comes two days after the Raiders and McKenzie parted ways with cornerback Chimdi Chekwa, a fourth-round pick in 2011 who ran the 40 in 4.33 seconds at the Combine. Both Chekwa and Van Dyke are listed as second-team corners in the Raiders most recent depth chart, with Shawntae Spencer and Ron Bartell the starters. Joselio Hanson recently was added to the team, which apparently triggered the decision to dump Van Dyke.
Van Dyke will now hit the waiver wire, with the Colts continuing to have dibs.
The broader message is that McKenzie must see something in the player the team took in the third round of the 2011 supplemental draft, quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Otherwise, hed be gone, too.
Then again, who knows what the next move from McKenzie will be?

This month a meeting will take place in Nairobi in Kenya where scientists, including a delegation from IUCN, will meet with the world's governments to advise them on the best way forward to save all life on earth, the planet's biodiversity. The conference, known as the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice or SBSTTA, is a crucial part of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Decisions taken in Nairobi will provide a scientific basis for the convention, which will meet in Nagoya in Japan later this year.
Jane Smart is the Director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group. She says that this year's talks, to stem the loss of biodiversity, are critical.

The ACC finally found a way to stop Mike Copeland.
With a second left in North Carolina's 93-76 victory against N.C. State Saturday, Copeland grabbed a pass and went to the basket for what would have been an easy dunk. But N.C. State was tired of North Carolina's easy dunks and Tyler Hansbrough's outside shooting. After making a nice little second half run, the Tar Heels dominated.
So N.C. State's Ben McCauley hammered Copeland as Copeland went to the hoop. He stayed with the foul after the initial contact, and Copeland landed awkwardly. He jumped up ran at McCauley.
Big Ben, what were you thinking? Copeland is far from the Tar Heel rotation as N.C. State is from the Tar Heels in the ACC standings. He's an end of the bench guy, a 6-7 senior who averages a point a game.
Nobody wants to be dominated, but it wasn't N.C. State's afternoon. The Wolfpack had an opportunity to be tough when North Carolina's starters were on the court. They failed.

Doha: Angry voices within the Taliban movement could scuttle peace talks before they even begin, infuriated that a sign identifying their new office in the Gulf state of Qatar as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was removed, their spokesman said Saturday.
The opening of the Taliban office was heralded as the best chance of bringing to a peaceful end 12 years of bloody war despite its rocky beginnings. But the peace process ran aground almost immediately when Kabul objected to the wording of its name, saying it was tantamount to the establishment of a rival government office, not a political office.
Under pressure from host nation Qatar, the Taliban removed the sign and lowered their flag __ a white flag emblazoned with a Quranic verse in black __ out of public view on Wednesday.
"There is an internal discussion right now and much anger about it but we have not yet decided what action to take," Shaheen Suhail, the Taliban's spokesman in Qatar told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "But I think it weakens the process from the very beginning."
Afghan President Hamid Karzai reacted furiously Tuesday to the sign, temporarily withdrawing from talks and put a quick end to negotiations with the United States over a security accord that is to lay out protection for U.S. forces that will remain in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of NATO combat troops at the end of 2014.
A Qatar Foreign Ministry statement said the Taliban had violated an agreement to call the office the "Political Bureau of the Taliban Afghan in Doha." The Obama administration also said the U.S. and Qatar never had agreed to allow the Taliban to use that name on the door.
But Suhail said the incident has frustrated and angered some within the militant movement who said the Taliban have been meeting with representatives of dozens of countries and holding secret one-on-one meetings with members of Karzai's High Peace Council on several occasions, always under the banner of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
"Now the process is being weakened at the beginning and not being given a chance," he said. "This is very bad for the Afghan people, for the international community."
In Kabul, a member of the government's negotiation team said it was still prepared to begin talks in Qatar and said the removal of the sign and flag was a positive sign.
High Peace Council member Shahzada Shahid told The Associated Press Saturday that it was too early to say when the council would travel to Qatar for talks. He also welcomed the participation of countries in the international coalition in Afghanistan and said they would have their own issues to discuss.
"Peace is very important and vital for us so we will take all measures for it," he said.
Meanwhile James Dobbins, the U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, arrived in Doha on Saturday where U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was attending meetings on Syria. His presence suggested that the U.S. remains interested in talking with the Taliban despite the recent flap.
Suhail said the Taliban had not been notified of talks with Dobbins on Saturday but he advocated for cooler heads to prevail.
"Everyone should save the process. Give a chance to the process. In one day everything cannot be resolved," he said. "This is a very secondary thing and not important. I am also surprised that it should derail the process."
While the "internal talks" continued over the sign, the Taliban were still cobbling together a negotiating team, the spokesman said.
The Taliban have already agreed to hand over U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, captured by the Taliban in 2009, in exchange for five Taliban held in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In the telephone interview, Suhail also said that a cease-fire and women's rights could be part of negotiations.
"Yes there should be a cease-fire but first we have to talk about how to reach a cease-fire. How can it be done in one day?" he said. "It can be part of the agenda and be discussed, also foreign troops in Afghanistan after 2014 can be discussed as part of the agenda as well as the general concerns of the Afghan people. Afghan women's concerns can all be part of the agenda to be discussed."
But Suhail warned all sides to step away from voicing criticism.
"How can we achieve all those things if even from the first day there is so much public criticism," he said.

The unusually mild and wet conditions of July continued into August for a couple of weeks, but summer returned with a vengeance to finish out the month. The rains disappeared after week two, and then a summer-like heat wave arrived during the final week. Despite that late heat, the month still managed to finish a tad on the cool side overall. According to preliminary data from the Oklahoma Mesonet, the statewide average temperature was 80.1 degrees. 0.3 degrees below normal and the 49 since records began in 1895.
The abundant rainfall during the first two weeks of the month, mainly across the northern two-thirds of Oklahoma, pushed the statewide average into the surplus territory at 3.04 inches, about a quarter-inch above normal. That ranks the month as the 51 record. The southern third of the state missed out on the bountiful moisture and finished from 20-80 percent of normal for the month. Hugo and Newport finished with less than a quarter-inch of rainfall for the month, and many other locations across southern Oklahoma saw less than an inch. The northern two-thirds of the state recorded more generous totals with numerous amounts between 5-7 inches.
The climatological summer (June-August) had two distinct rainy periods that vaulted it up the wet side of the rankings – the first half of June and then mid-July through mid-August. The statewide average for the summer finished at 12.50 inches, 2.73 inches above normal to rank as the 24 wettest on record.
The return to a more summer-like rainfall pattern the last two weeks of the month put the brakes on any continued drought relief, and actually reversed it across parts of the state. The U.S. Drought Monitor report released on August 28 indicated that 38 percent of the state was suffering from at least moderate drought, up from 33 percent the previous week. Most of that increase came from southern Oklahoma. It is still a vastly different story than one year ago in late August when 100 percent of the state was entrenched in drought, including 90 percent in the extreme to exceptional categories, the two worst possible on the Monitor's intensity scale. Still, the summer rains allowed for great strides. As much as 59 percent of the state was experiencing drought at the end of May. The Drought Monitor's worst two categories, severe and exceptional, dropped from 27 percent at the end of May to 10 percent at the endof August.
The September outlooks from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center give equal chances for above-, below- or near-normal temperatures and rainfall for all of Oklahoma. The U.S. Monthly Drought Outlook for September shows drought persisting across all areas of Oklahoma where it currently exists, although no new areas of drought development are expected by CPC. The latest odds continue to favor neutral conditions in the equatorial pacific waters for the second straight cool season, so the development of either El Niño or La Niña appears unlikely at this time.

but I can't find where to set this parameter. I've got openjdk-7 installed and JAVA_HOME points to

/usr/lib/jvm/default-java -> java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
So where do I set this (I'm sure it's something simple, but ant doesn't accept the -source parameter and Google hasn't brought up the config details)?
Note that this compiler error is the result of a typo, but I was wondering how to do this for future reference, or in case I want to use this in future.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- As New York moves to expand gambling, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have quietly deleted a proposed ban on accepting campaign contributions from casino operators.
Cuomo had said as recently as June 6 that he wanted to rid his casino proposal of politics. Albany's past expansions of gambling have resulted in some of Albany's biggest corruption scandals.
But the bill to authorize four casinos negotiated by Cuomo and legislative leaders that passed Friday night won't prohibit campaign contributions from gambling interests. Other proposals that died in the session that ended early Saturday included a package of anti-corruption laws and a plan to publicly finance campaigns with reduced limits on the size of donations and greater accountability.
All of those proposals were aimed at reducing the influence of big-money donors like gambling interests in decisions made by lawmakers.
"It's actually very pathetic," said Susan Lerner of Common Cause of New York. "We've had legislators led off in handcuffs, we have a significant number of Republicans and Democrats behind bars, and the only thing the Legislature is interested in doing is expanding gambling. That's some response to corruption."
In the past two years alone the gambling industry spent more than $2 million on campaign contributions in Albany and another $14 million on lobbying, Common Cause reported.
The campaign contributions included $242,000 to Cuomo; $404,000 to the state Republican Campaign Committee; $372,000 to the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee; $76,000 to Senate Racing and Wagering Committee Chairman John Bonacic, a Republican representing the Catskills where one or two casinos are likely be sited; and $59,000 to Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee Chairman Gary Pretlow, a Democrat from Yonkers where a harness track with a large video slot machine center is located.
In addition, the lobbying group formed to run promotional TV ads for Cuomo and his polices, the Committee to Save New York, received $2 million a year ago from gambling interests. The donations were made just weeks before Cuomo called for expansion of gambling.
The campaign contributors and their donations included $3.6 million from the New York Gaming Association, which operators harness tracks and video slot machine centers and eyed casinos; $3.3 million from Genting New York, which operates the large video slot machine center at Aqueduct race track and could expand to casinos in seven years; and $1.4 million from the Seneca Indian Nation, which operates a casino and may develop another in the Catskills.
There was no immediate comment from Cuomo, the Senate's Republican majority or the Assembly's Democratic majority.
The casino act passed by the Legislature and proposed and approved by Cuomo is subject to a public referendum in the fall. Voters will have to decide whether to amend the state constitution, which now prohibits full-fledged casinos with traditional slot machines and table games such as poker off Indian land.
