Roughriders host Bath in a ground battle
From the city that builds tanks, there is Aaron Smith.
From the town that has manufactured rushing yards with assembly-line efficiency through the years, there is D.J. Manning.
For three weeks, the St. Marys football team has faced a barrage of throws from three spread teams.
Now for something completely different.
The two best rushing teams and the two best rushers in the Western Buckeye League should make for a hard-hitting league match-up at Skip Baughman Stadium on Friday night.
St. Marys entertains the Bath Wildcats this week, with a whole lot of running going on for both teams.
St. Marys leads the WBL at 316 rushing yards per game and has the league's most prolific runner in D.J. Manning — who has already put up 675 yards rushing and six touchdowns in three weeks. Manning is a workhorse, as well. He has carried 16 more times this season than any other WBL running back. Manning has accounted for 45 of St. Marys' 71 points.
The Riders's new odd-front defense will get its first challenge from a power running team in 2011. St. Marys' opponents have run the ball only 56 times in three games this fall.
Bath has no problem handing off to its powerful dynamo in the backfield.
Bath is the second-leading rushing team in the WBL, piling up 308 yards rushing per game. The Wildcats feature 5-foot-9, 230-pound running back Aaron Smith, who has 569 yards rushing and six touchdowns despite missing the first week of the season. Smith is averaging 8.8 yards per carry.
"We're going to play a team that has a very good running back and a nice offensive line," St. Marys head coach Greg Phillips said. "We have to gear it up."
Smith rushed for 286 yards against Wapakoneta last Friday night, but it was the final two yards he couldn't pick up late in the game that decided the contest. Bath went for two after scoring a late fourth-quarter touchdown and Smith was submarined on the conversion attempt in the 14-13 loss to the Redskins.
Third-year head coach Chris Miller has Bath pointed in the right direction. After a 2-8 first season in 2009, Miller led the Wildcats to a 5-5 season in 2010. Now Bath hopes to be a program in the mix at the top of the WBL six seasons after going 0-10.
Last week's loss to Wapakoneta was a setback, but it also featured Bath staying step for step with the league's toughest team.
"That was a great, physical high school football game," Miller said. "I think it was everything it was billed to be."
Bath quarterback Brad Davis is in his second year running the offense. Davis is counted on to manage games. He is 14-for-35 for 205 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions this season.
On defense, Bath senior linebacker Keaton Sullivan stands out. Sullivan, a 6-3, 200-pounder, is tied for the WBL lead with 53 tackles and is second in the league in interceptions with two this season.
St. Marys' defense has been opportunistic against the steady hailstorm of passes thrown in its direction so far.
St. Marys leads the WBL with a plus-six turnover margin this season. No other team is better than plus-three. That includes seven interceptions by the Rider secondary.
Teams have been putting the ball in the air against the Riders more than any other team in the league.
After facing the WBL's best two quarterbacks in Kenton's Maty Mauk and Elida's Reggie McAdams, St. Marys is giving up a WBL-worst 291.7 passing yards per game and has faced a league-most 102 passes. No other team in the WBL has faced more than 85 passes.
St. Marys defensive back Mitch Fowler leads the Roughriders with 23 tackles this fall.
Bath snapped a 10-game losing streak to St. Marys last season with a 26-6 win at Bath High School . St. Marys' Mitch Newbauer scored to open the game, but Bath scored the next 26 points to run away with the game.
St. Marys will look to snap a four-game losing streak at Skip Baughman Stadium dating back to last year's loss to Celina.
Bath has not beaten St. Marys in consecutive seasons since 1998 and 1999 — the first two seasons of Doug Frye's stay in St. Marys. The 1999 Bath team is the last Wildcat squad to win the WBL title, as well.

The University of Nevada(1-0) baseball team got a three-run home from junior shortstop Kevin Rodland in the top of the ninth inning to defeat Gonzaga(0-1) in the season opener for both clubs at tournament being hosted at Grand Canyon University's Brazell Field in Phoenix, Ariz. The Wolf Pack begins the season 1-0 while the Bulldogs are 0-1 after the first game of the year.
Trailing 3-0 after seven innings of play the Pack scored three times in the top of the eighth on designated hitter Brock Stassi's three-run homer to tie the game. Pinch hitter Waylen Sing Chow started the inning with a single and after an out was recorded Rodland reached on a single to extend his hit streak to 12-games. Stassi then collected his first hit at Nevada driving the ball over the left field fence to tie the game.
Gonzaga regained the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning scoring a run on catcher Tyson Van Winkle's RBI double that plated third baseman Jason Chatwood who reached on a walk. The Zags loaded the bases in the inning but reliever Sammy Miller induced a 5-4-3 double play to keep it a one run game.
In the top of the ninth inning the Pack scored four times to win 7-4. Catcher Michael Turay tied the game with his RBI single that scored first baseman Shaun Kort with the Pack's fourth run of the game. Rodland then hit the Pack's second, three-run homer of the game and it was 7-4.
Miller (1-0) faced four batters in the ninth inning and retired three to earn the win.
GU scored single runs in the first, third and sixth innings to take the early 3-0 advantage before the Pack bats came alive after Zags starter Matt Fields was lifted from the game. Fields allowed just three hits and struck out eight in his seven innings on the mound but received a no decision after Nevada rallied for the victory.
Rodland (2-for-5,2R,3RBI), right fielder Brett Hart (2-for-4) and left fielder Nick Melino (2-for-4) had two hits each to lead Nevada. Rodland and Stassi drove in three runs each with their home runs.
Center fielder Drew Heid (2-for-5) and first baseman Ryan Wiegand (2-for-5,RBI) led the Zags with two hits apiece.
Miller earned the win pitching two shutout innings. Jacob Hiatt (0-1) was tagged with the loss giving up four runs in his one inning on the mound.

Report of Brig. Gen. William Preston, C. S Army, commanding Third BrigadeDECEMBER 26, 1862-JANUARY 5, 1863.--The Stone's River or Murfreesborough, Tenn., Campaign.O.R.-- SERIES I--VOLUME XX/1 [S# 29]
HEADQUARTERS PRESTON'S BRIGADE, BRECKINRIDGE'S DIVISION, ARMY OF TENNESSEE,January 12, 1863.
Col. T. O'HARA, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
COLONEL: In obedience to the orders of Major-General Breckinridge, I have the honor to transmit a report of the operations of the brigade under my command in the recent battles near Murfreesborough. The Twentieth Tennessee, the Sixtieth North Carolina, the Fourth Florida, and the First and Third Florida Regiments, with Wright's battery of four pieces, constituted my command, numbering 1,640 effective men. The enemy having advanced in force against Murfreesborough, dispositions for battle were made, and Breckinridge s division was posted on the extreme right in our front line, with its right near Spence s house, on the Lebanon turnpike, extending toward the ford, where the Nashville turnpike crosses Stone's River. Adams' brigade was on the right, mine next, and Palmer's and Hanson's extended westwardly toward the ford. This position was occupied from Sunday morning, December 28, with some few unimportant changes in our line of battle, until the succeeding Wednesday. On that day, not long after noon, we were ordered to cross the river at the ford, and, under the supervision of Major-General Breckinridge, my brigade, on the right, and that of Palmer on my left, were formed in line of battle on the ground originally occupied by Lieutenant-General Polk's command. The right of my brigade rested near the intersection of the Nashville Railroad and turnpike, and extended nearly at right angles westwardly, about half a mile south of Cowan's, or the burnt house. These dispositions made, the order was given to advance in the direction of the burnt house toward a cedar forest beyond. Wide and open fields intervened, through which the command passed with great animation, in fine order. As we came near the farm-house, heavy batteries of the enemy, supported by strong lines of infantry near a railroad embankment, forming a strong defense, were visible obliquely to the right, on the northeast of the Nashville turnpike. The brigade advanced rapidly and steadily under a destructive fire from the artillery. The Twentieth Tennessee, passing to the right of the house, engaged the enemy with vigor on the right in some woods near the river, capturing some 25 prisoners and clearing the wood. The First and Third Florida, on the extreme left, pressed forward to the cedar forest with but little loss. The two central regiments (the Sixtieth North Carolina and Fourth Florida) found great difficulty in pressing through the ruins and strong inclosures of the farm-house, and, retarded by these obstacles and by a fire from the enemy's sharpshooters in front, and a very fierce cannonade, partially enfilading their lines, were for a moment thrown into confusion at the verge of the wood. They halted and commenced firing, but, being urged forward, they responded with loud shouts and gained the cedars. The enemy turned upon the wood a heavy fire from many pieces of artillery, across a field 400 or 500 yards distant, and, though we lost some valuable lives, the brigade maintained its position with firmness in the edge of the wood. Having met Lieutenant-General Hardee, he ordered me, with Adams' brigade (under Colonel Gibson) added to my command, to hold the wood. We bivouacked for the night, establishing our pickets far in the field and very near the enemy. The Twentieth Tennessee, which had been directed by Captain [R. W.] Wooley, assistant adjutant-general, near the river, finding their force insufficient to advance, after losing many men, halted in good order and rejoined the brigade at nightfall in the cedars. Wright's battery, having been detached by General Hardee, took no part in the action. At roll-call, about dark, it was ascertained that the loss suffered by my command was 155 killed and wounded. The companies of the Sixtieth North Carolina, under the immediate command of Colonel [Joseph A.] McDowell, were with me; but those separated from his regiment in passing the burnt house, to which? have alluded, fell back without orders to the encampment, with the exception of some of the men and officers who joined the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment, and who did not rejoin their regiment until after night. Some few prisoners were taken and 400 or 500 stand of arms were secured. On Friday, about 2 o'clock, the two brigades under my command were withdrawn from the cedars and ordered to take position in line of battle across the river, near the original post of Hanson's brigade. This being done, preparations for attack were made, and Major-General Breckinridge formed his division in two lines, Pillow's and Hanson's brigades being in the front line, with mine 200 yards in the rear of Pillow's, to support his command, and Gibson's on my left, to support Hanson's. About 4 o'clock, the order to advance being given, the division moved forward rapidly through a wood and an open field beyond to drive the enemy beyond the river and seize a hill that would enable our artillery to enfilade in reverse their batteries. As soon as the field was entered the engagement commenced, and our men, pressing forward with great ardor, drove the enemy over the crest of the hill and beyond the river. Wright's battery was advanced to the crest of the hill, and was soon hotly engaged. On our right the enemy far outflanked us, and the Twentieth Tennessee suffered severely, but dashed forward into the woods with its accustomed gallantry and drove the enemy down the hill, capturing some 200 prisoners. A division of the enemy, said to be that of [H. P.] Van Cleve, was driven down the hill-side in utter rout by our division. The enemy then rapidly concentrated large numbers of fresh troops on the other side of the river, and poured upon our dense ranks a withering fire of musketry and artillery. Our lines, originally very close in the order of advance, were commingled near the river, and this new fire from an overwhelming force from the opposite banks of the stream threw them into disorder. The division recoiled over the field in the direction of the wood through which we first passed. When withdrawing from the field, I met Brigadier-General Wharton with his battery and the cavalry, with which he was covering our right. He was about opening fire with the battery, when I advised him not to do so, as he might fire on some of our men. He detached Colonel Harrison, of the Texas Rangers, who, with my brigade, formed and supported Robertson's battery in the verge of the wood until General Breckinridge ordered me to resume my original lines. One of our batteries opened from its verge, and I succeeded in forming my brigade for its support, and was in that position when Major-General Breckinridge arrived and ordered me to resume our original lines, about a mile in the rear, as night had come on. The loss sustained by my command in this action was 295 killed and wounded, and 90 missing, most of whom were doubtless killed or wounded. The total loss of my command in both actions was 537. Wright's battery was bravely fought, but lost its gallant commander, who was killed at his guns. Lieutenant [J. W.] Mebane, though wounded, succeeded in withdrawing all of the battery except two of the pieces, which were lost, and which could not be got off, as many of the horses were killed. For other details I refer to the reports of the commanding officers of the regiments and of the battery, which I inclose. During the battle both men and officers displayed great intrepidity, and I attribute the repulse on Friday to the manifest hopelessness of the attempt to hurl a single division, without support, against the cardinal position of the whole hostile army. This was apparent to the least intelligent soldier. The line fell back, rallied, and in half an hour was ready to re-engage. In rallying the troops, I feel it my duty to notice and report the conspicuous zeal and gallantry displayed by yourself, and to testify my appreciation of the valuable assistance you rendered on the field. Colonel Smith, of the Twentieth Tennessee, a brave and skillful officer, was severely wounded on Wednesday, and the command devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel [Frank M.] Lavender, who has not been heard of since the action on Friday. It is believed that he is wounded or a prisoner. Colonel Miller, of the First and Third Florida, was wounded on Friday while bravely leading his regiment, which he withdrew, retaining the command, notwithstanding his wound. The Fourth Florida in both actions bore itself gallantly, and was ably commanded by Colonel Bowen. In the action of the 31st, Lieut. Edwin Whitfield, of my staff, was severely, if not fatally, wounded by my side while gallantly rendering me the most efficient aid, and Mr. Orville Ewing, a young gentleman of great promise, distinguished in the battle of Mill Springs, was killed nearly at the same moment. Maj. J. C. Thompson, volunteer aide, and Captain Wooley, assistant adjutant-general, assisted me efficiently on Wednesday. Mr. [W. R.] Chambliss, acting assistant adjutant-general; Captain [H. P.] Wallace, and Lieut. [J. C.] Wheeler assisted me on Friday on my staff. To Major [F.] Claybrooke, who volunteered on my staff on Friday, 1 am greatly indebted for his services. I recommend for promotion Sergeant Battle for conspicuous gallantry. After four color-bearers of the Twentieth Tennessee had been shot down and the regiment was in confusion, he seized the colors and bravely rallied the men under my eye.
I remain, colonel, with great respect, your obedient servant,W. PRESTON, Brigadier-General.

Hey does anyone know if there is a trick to get the tail light lense off a 86 gl hatchback. Took out the two screws, still fills tight, don't know if I should just pull it off. Wondering if I am missing a step . Thanks Rayban1.........

The whole tail light assembly has to be removed to get the lens off IIRC. All the bolts are accesible from behind the plastic bits in the cargo area as well as the bulbs if you are just needing to change some of those.
Posted 27 July 2008 - 10:24 PM
thanks GD, thought I was missing a step . Rayban1
Posted 28 July 2008 - 12:24 AM
Yes, the tail light must be removed as a unit, the lense does not come off. After you remove all necessary screws, there is some kind of very sticky tar-like substance that holds it on. It would probably stay on forever without the screws. It is quite difficult, more difficult than you would expect, to break the bond of the 1/2 tar 1/2 superglue 1/2 construction adhesive black stuff. Use a flat bar or wide gasket scraper to pry the unit off and you should be good to go.
Posted 28 July 2008 - 10:09 AM
if you have a small propane torch heat up the back size, it will loosen the bond on the glue. if not a heat gun or a hair dryer works as well.

Now there's an idea!

Governor proposes $8 million capital investment for oyster restoration Oyster disease levels lowest on record
ANNAPOLIS (February 13, 2012) Governor Martin OMalley today announced another landmark in the States ongoing efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bays native oyster population. Results of Marylands 2011 Fall Oyster Survey show the highest survival rate for oysters since 1985. The 92 percent survival rate the percentage of oysters found alive in a sample builds upon last years strong spatset (number of baby oysters), which was the highest since 1997.
Although our fight to restore a thriving oyster population to the Chesapeake Bay is far from over, our continued commitment to renewing this iconic species has begun to pay off, said Governor Martin OMalley. Through balanced investments in aquaculture, sanctuaries, stewardship and enforcement, our native oyster is coming back. Together, we can continue to create jobs and support our local economies while returning our native oyster to healthy, sustainable levels.
In one of the longest running resource-monitoring programs in the world, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its predecessor agencies have monitored the status of the States oyster population via annual field surveys since 1939. The survey tracks reproduction levels, disease levels and annual mortality rates, and offers a window into future population levels.
The high survival of young oysters from 2010s record spatset is an immediate asset to Marylands expanded sanctuary program, said DNR Secretary John Griffin. As these oysters grow and reproduce, they are supporting expanded populations in sanctuaries, public fishery areas and aquaculture operations.
In his proposed FY2013 budget, Governor OMalley has proposed a $7.5 million capital investment in oyster bar restoration in Harris Creek in Talbot County and the Little Choptank River in Dorchester County, two of the States new sanctuaries, where conditions are favorable for reproduction. The Governor has also proposed an additional $500,000 for aquaculture infrastructure improvements, which will include low-cost loans through the Maryland Agricultural and Resource Based Industry Development Corporation (MARBDICO) for entrepreneurial watermen and other citizens who want to grow oysters.
During the 2-month sampling assessment, which concluded on November 21, 263 oyster bars and 343 samples throughout the Bay and its tributaries were evaluated. Analyses of disease samples and field data were completed this month.
This is more than double the survival rate in 2002, when record disease levels killed off 58 percent of the population, explained DNR Fisheries Service Director Tom OConnell. The overall biomass index which measures population health by volume is also up 44 percent over last year. Not only did these baby oysters thrive under ideal growing conditions, this year we also found a new, high spatset in high salinity areas such as the Tangier Sound.
In another positive sign, scientists at the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory report that the frequency and intensity of diseases are low. Of the two diseases that have devastated populations for decades, Dermo, although still common, now occurs at the lowest level on record and remains well below the long-term average for the eighth consecutive year. MSX is also at its lowest level on record.
Although high freshwater flows from heavy rains in the spring and late summer storms Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee impacted oysters above the Bay Bridge, this represented a relatively small proportion of the total oyster population. The lower salinities proved to be beneficial to the majority of oysters in Maryland by knocking back disease.
These reductions in MSX and dermo diseases in Maryland oysters are promising, providing favorable circumstances for expanding aquaculture, increasing restoration efforts, and strengthening initiatives to protect and conserve our wild populations, said Chris Dungan, manager of oyster disease research at the Cooperative Oxford Lab.
Since 1994, the Chesapeake Bay oyster population has languished at less than one percent of historic levels. Over the past 25 years, the amount of suitable oyster habitat has declined by 80 percent from 200,000 acres to just 36,000 acres. Marylands annual oyster harvest has fallen from an average of 2.5 million bushels in the late 1960s to about 105,000 bushels a year since 2002, while the number of oystermen working Marylands portion of the Bay has dwindled from more than 2000 to just 550.
In 2009, the State of Maryland adopted regulations to implement Governor OMalleys Oyster Restoration and Aquaculture Development Plan. The plan increased Marylands network of oyster sanctuaries from 9 percent to 24 percent of remaining quality habitat; increased areas open to leasing for oyster aquaculture and streamlined the permitting process; established a $2.2 million financial assistance program for aquaculture interests; and maintained 76 percent of the Bays remaining quality oyster habitat for a more targeted, sustainable, and scientifically managed public oyster fishery. The plan also focused on stepping up enforcement to protect the States investment in the oyster population.
Since the 2010 implementation of the Governors Oyster Recovery Plan, 28 new oyster farming leases have been approved for more than 20 individuals on about 650 acres. More than half of these entrepreneurs are watermen. An additional 52 lease applications covering 620 acres are currently being processed.

Norwich City are the latest club to be linked with Aston Villa striker Andreas Weimann according to the Daily Mail.
The 21-year-old Austrian international has eleven goals to his name in 28 appearances in all competitions this season and is slowly building his reputation as a forward.
His performances have put him ahead of Darren Bent in the club's pecking order as he has built a strong frontline partnership with the impressive Christian Benteke.
Weimann currently has one year remaining on his current deal at Villa Park and reports suggest that renewal talks have broken down. With Villa's Premier League status in jeopardy, he may find a move to a more secure Premier League club too hard to turn down.
Norwich manager Chris Hughton has reportedly turned his attention to the Austrian forward after narrowly missing out on Celtic's Gary Hooper in January.
Despite his ever-improving performances, Weimann has slipped under the radar for many as Christian Benteke has stole most of the headlines for Villa this season. Not only has Benteke been impressive but the controversy surrounding Darren Bent's lack of team action has also overshadowed Weimann.
His strong partnership with Benteke means that keeping him should be one of Paul Lambert's top priorities but if Weimann refuses to sign a new deal, Villa may opt to sell in the summer.
The Austrian is sure to have a number of suitors but Norwich are looking to steal a march on the rest despite already having strikers: Grant Holt, Simeon Jackson and Luciano Becchio in their ranks.

Exactly, it is only the development that destabilizes power, once it has "failed" it is no longer a threat!
The star wars project was actually a success. It was only deemed a failure, as to keep our enemies off guard.
Exactly the same thing with the North Korean rocket launch. Let the world laugh while the Great North Korean intergalactic spaceship is nearing completion.
It was a succesful bluff, and played a major part in ending the Cold War.
The beloved leader's golf balls always hit the hole.
Even thier previous nuke tests had problems. The first one failed completely and the second one did not produce the expected results common to a nuclear detonation. They could have used tons of dynamite mixed with radioactive elements to give the impression that they actually detonated a nuke.
And even if they do have a nuclear weapon they certainly don't have a delivery system unless they want to carry it or use a bomber which would just end up being great target practice for all the various air defense sy
The technology has been around since the 80's, so why not?
Why waste the power and confirm that you have the ability to do so on a target that you already knew was going to be crap and fall apart or otherwise not make orbit? IN any case, Japan actually did announce beforehand that they were seriously considering shooting down the rocket/missile if it passed over Japanese territory. And, from what I understand, the other 2 previous launches by North Korea were always followed by a nuclear test ( I remember reading this, but I honestly do not remember where).
And, from what I understand, the other 2 previous launches by North Korea were always followed by a nuclear test
If you are into spelunking I would avoid freshly dug out caves in North Korea.
Considering the cult of ignorance North Korea has maintained among its own people for decades, this is probably exactly what the locals believe.
Why is there a flurry of general interest news on a technical news web site? N. Korea nuke tests, Treyvon Martin shooting, Rick Santorum articles. Can we get back to posting articles about technical issues, please? We can get general interest news anywhere. News and discussion about technical items and open source software and hardware is harder to come by, which is why I come here. It's what makes Slashdot appealing. If you take that away then you take away the reason to come here over, say, NPR [npr.org]'s web site
Look how many comments on the Trayvon articles. It's about getting page hits - which is about beating the living fuck out of the latest trendy horse, even if it's long since dead.
It's a business which is about page hits and ad revenues, no more a forum for nerds and tech-folk - though it used to attract many of them.
Lately the comments are approaching the wit and insight of typical youtube or foxnews comments, though. It's attracted more traffic, but driven away many of the worthwhile users.
Like any other
Nukes, rockets and satellites aren't technical to you ?
We'd better invade then, just in case.
no resources... why bother? save their starving people? security for US allies in the region? naaah.
also it'd piss China off to no end.
We're still at war. This can be done without congressional action. Make it so!
It was a police action.
Really at this stage its gone well beyond a joke. I have friends in Japan who were quite worried about this, to say nothing of the sheer evil of the regime itself. Maybe its time to bite the bullet and just cut off food aid to North Korea so they are forced to reduce the size of their army and actually feed their own people? Or would Kim go for a full on invasion of the South in reality?
forced to reduce the size of their army and actually feed their own people
Don't think that it would have this effect... NK has been generally starving the people for decades in favor of military might.

More then likely the food that is given to them goes directly to the military. If you cut off the food then the military starves as well as the people. Depending on how loyal the military is, once people with weapons start to starve crazy things can happen. Its one thing to be dealing with an angry person, its a whole another level when they're angry and hungry.
Keep in mind that you're talking about the country with universal conscription that can last up to 10 years - about 20% of the entire adult male population is in the military. Every male citizen would have served there, and most would have kids serving. So there's no clear dividing boundary between army and civilians.
Maybe its time to bite the bullet and just cut off food aid to North Korea so they are forced to reduce the size of their army and actually feed their own people? Or would Kim go for a full on invasion of the South in reality?
He would probably just let his people die. The problem is, if we did cut off the food aid to North Korea, the government would use that as an internal propaganda tool by saying we were trying to kill off everyone, or something. The sad thing is that most North Koreans would probably believe it, because they have been isolated and indoctrinated for so long. North Korea is really like the old lady with all the cats that lives a few doors down from you. She's crazy as hell, but basically harmless. On top of that, no sane, rational person would want the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent people from starvation (and if you read stories, most of them are on the brink of starvation already) on their conscience. It really is sad when governments hold their own people as hostages just so they can stay in power.
She's crazy as hell, but basically harmless.
Well, not if you care about cats. Or if you are a cat.
She's crazy as hell, but basically harmless.
Well, not if you care about cats. Or if you are a cat.
Good thing neither of those apply to me
North Korea is really like the old lady that lives a few doors down from you with all the cats AND A NUCLEAR ROCKET.
They would probably just increase their already massive weapons export business [bloomberg.com] to compensate. Maybe we ought to be paying attention to stopping that. They have also allegedly been caught selling donated food, but I can't find a link to that on a legitimate website. If anything maybe we should increase the food donations to a level that embarrasses the North Korean govt. Like saying "We can afford to feed your entire mismanaged starving country from our extras, in your face (literally and figuratively)"
CNN had a fairly coherent opinion piece on the question of why no one wants to piss of North Korea any further despite obvious provocation (this rocket launch isn't the first, nor even the worst provocation they've performed). Basically the guy's point boiled down to a three tier deterrent used by North Korea's government to make them immune from serious attack:
1) They're fricken nuts. No one knows exactly how nuts they are, and no one particularly wants to find out. Even by the standards of repressive totalitarian regimes, the North Koreans are in a class by themselves. Most of South Korea, and all of Seoul is in range of North Korean artillery. It's widely accepted that unless China were willing to engage in open war in support of the North (unlikely), they'd be pounded into dog meat in short order by combined US, South Korean, and (probably) Japanese troops. That won't stop them from shelling Seoul, possibly with chemical weapons, and maybe hitting Tokyo with some medium range missiles before they go down. They're willing to let their own people starve to death in mass numbers to keep themselves in power, they sure aren't going to be concerned about "enemy" civilians.
2) No one wants to deal with the repercussions. Assuming we (for a value of "we" intended to mean the US and some portion of our Asian allies) go in, wipe the floor with the North Korean Army, and they don't manage to do to terribly much damage to Seoul in the process... then we have North Korea? Yay? The country is more or less without any infrastructure. A good portion of the population is starving. They're mostly brainwashed. The only thing that's had any resources at all dedicated to it in the last 50 years is the military we just presumably smashed... The quagmire's in Iraq and Afghanistan will seem like positive fun times in comparison. As the author put is (I'm paraphrasing), "You're looking at a generation worth of South Korean time and treasure just to get the place to where it could be functional". Nobody wants to deal with that.
3) They have nukes. See also (1) & (2). No one knows if they're crazy enough to use the nukes as a last ditch "take the world down with us" strategy, and no one has any idea how many there are or where. When the inevitable chaos of (2) starts, any nukes not flung at Seoul as a last spit in the eye have a high potential to become rogue. Not a pretty picture.
I can't seem to find the article now, which is a bit annoying, but it seems to be pretty well thought out. The typical reason for doing nothing about North Korea is China, but honestly at this point I don't think even the Chinese really like them. They'd just rather have a broke and desperate North on their border than a unified and strong Korea.
Despite the lack of link, this is congruent with all discussions about the matter i've ever had. No one wants to deal with the mess. That's why the NKs get away with what they do. The problem is when you think longer term, the idea that the regime won't last is wishful thinking, and their capabilities just keep getting larger in the WMD sphere. Doing something about them later is going to be even more painful than doing it now.
My hope is that China, which is modernizing rapidly, will soon come to the conclusion that supporting the regime in Pyongyang harms China's global image. When that day comes, this will all be over quickly and without much bloodshed. Perhaps they can offer exile to the current leaders.
I was chatting with a mainland Chinese fellow the other day and he said that China keeps them as a friend because they piss of the US. That is useful to China. So, as long as China keeps DPRK's actions to their palatable threshold, China is OK with it. Esp, if the US is unhappy.
So, the alternative, is waiting until they get nukes, and then REALLY being forced to deal with them. Sounds like a great plan.
1) They're fricken nuts.
Not really. They have a cult of personality, but it is only maintained by internal politics and not any kind of genuine brainwashing at the upper levels. That is why the current Kim is having to consolidate his power somewhat - it isn't completely automatic.
Plus NK is not gripped by religious fundamentalism. Suicide in the name of God and an afterlife filled with virgin pussy isn't their motivation. They won't start WW3 because the leaderships knows they will all die.
2) No one wants to deal with the repercussions.
South Korea has shown itself to be willi
but honestly at this point I don't think even the Chinese really like them
They don't. The Chinese were blamed for a failed coup in North Korea some decades back which led to the border being almost completely closed since. There is a huge North Korean refugee population in China. The situation appears to be that North Korea just hate China a little bit less than everyone else and that China will trade with anybody (especially since they sell oil to North Korea at a huge markup).
China doesn't want million
Really at this stage its gone well beyond a joke.
It was never a joke. Many people have died. It's dead serious.
Which isn't to say we can't laugh about it. Though any joke I can think of will fall as flat as a North Korean rocket.
Why test in the backyard? Even if it involves a risk (www.google.com/search?q=underground+test+nuclear+risk+assessment)?
I guess that given that NK is a small country I can understand their willingness to do it in the backyard and that they have come to the conclusion it must be a fairly low risk.
But, still? What if they screw up like they did with their rocket?
How so? It's not like there would be anything new to learn. More than likely, the capsule was a poorly designed, cobbled together collection of components, with most of the designs stolen imperfectly from russian and chinese sources. Maybe U.S. sources.
The point is, a great artist isn't going to learn anything by going to a kindergarden art class and watching 6 year olds scribble with crayons. Nor are the engineers at Lockheed Martin likely to learn much, either.
As for the purpose of the capsule : obviously it's intended to deliver a nuclear bomb. Again, nothing new there. Obviously once the North Koreans have such a capability, they won't have to worry about being invaded.
The point is, a great artist isn't going to learn anything by going to a kindergarden art class and watching 6 year olds scribble with crayons.
Well, unless you count modern art.
bad enough they play rocketeer before they have worked out their controls. we know they've been setting up for another nuke fizzle with assets watching them mess about their underground test site for months.
to jump boldly ahead with another fizzle ahead of schedule to try and save face... well, shall we say, unpredictable results shall ensue. this time they might have an explosion before they get the bomb out of the handcart.
At least they don't have rocket scientists any more. I doubt any of them survived the rocket explosion by more than an hour.
If they are doing stuff to stick their middle finger up at the world and feel great I'd do an above the ground test. It's FAR more impressive.
yes..radiation, destruction, etc are are a problem. But just sayin if you are going for something to be impressive the above ground test is better than watching a massive sinkhole get made in a moments notice.
attempt to claw back some of its credibility with a third nuclear test
Perhaps domestically, but internationally they can claw back some credibility by not having a third nuclear test.
The ball's in your court, Jong-un. Your father burned all his credibility, but you have an excellent opportunity. Don't waste it trying to show off.
They don't want to be considered credible they want to instill fear for their extortions to work.
Yeah, that's smart. After you fail on a well tought rocket test, you simply rush a nuclear test so that people will forget the first one. Bonus point if all your well tought nuclear tests also failed up to now. Don't worry, this time things will work out ok, there is no pression or anything.
Ok, I can belive they are planning that. If their leader have a bad idea, it will come through execution anyway... But it isn't an automatic thing like the summary implies.
Sure on paper it sounds like all you need to do is take a late 1950's early 1960's edition Chinese CSS-2 Scud variant and bolt a second stage made out of another Scud-C on top of that and then build another rocket, a smaller one, using a Chinese SRB and bolt that atop your ghetto rigged second stage. But in practice getting all that stuff to work right in your poor broken down slave society driven by terror is a lot harder.
You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all different.

Might it be a good idea to also implement something like the PAL color delay line? I think some NTSC monitors had one too, right? And if they didn't, the low dot pitch sort of provided one...
Dig Dug (clearly not meant for composite)
Does a comb filter enter into the consideration here at all? I thought its job was to "comb out" the relatively narrow bands introduced by the color signal from the upper range of the luminance signal. This would increase horizontal sharpness but wouldn't affect the vertical at all, or would it?
Great Hierophant wrote:I made a spreadsheet of all PC/DOS games supporting composite color, taken from MobyGames, and tried to determine whether they were using 320x200 or 640x200 graphics. Some I could not figure out because I did not have access to the game or screenshots. It shows that there are probably just as many games that support 320x200 color composite graphics as there are games that use the 640x200 mode for color composite graphics.
reenigne wrote:It's curious - the images produced seem much "blockier" than I was expecting, as if they were rendered at 320x200. I think the code is correct though - it's just than I'm using a much less sharp FIR filter than NewRisingSun did (mine is based on the one from the xanalogtv program which is part of XScreenSaver). I might tweak that some more too now that I have real hardware to compare it too - my monitor seems to have more sharpness than this algorithm.
Looking at Servo's hardware captures on Mobygames (see this one from the same game), they seem to have more advanced filtering going on, with less "fringing"; but I can only assume that something like this would be too computationally costly to apply in real-time, e.g. for DOSBox.
reenigne wrote:Actually, now that I remember some more details about the Apple II video hardware - that latter explanation makes much more sense. As I recall, in the "high res" graphics mode each byte controls the colours for a horizontally contiguous group of 7 pixels, each the width of a low-res CGA pixel. The 8th bit in each byte controls the phase of these pixels, so in any group of 7 pixels you can either have black/blue/orange/white or black/green/purple/white. That means you can't do horizontal dithering of green and orange or green and blue, which are the two sets of colours in your screenshots which are dithered only in the vertical direction. I'd bet that's the reason, and it's nothing to do with delay lines at all.
My multi-norm TV does the vertical filtering even when fed NTSC, and I personally think Mask of the Sun and other games that use this horizonzal striping look better that way.

text: This is the second time the sentencing of the eight activists has been postponed due to Shell not providing the required information, in time, for its reparation claim of around $700,000 from the activists. The original sentencing date was September 14. A new date has yet to be confirmed.Seven of the activists climbed the drilling tower of the Noble Discoverer on February 24, while it was moored in Port Taranaki. All were arrested after a 77-hour occupation of the tower. An eighth activist was arrested on the first day of the operation. Greenpeace New Zealand Executive Director Bunny McDiarmid says Shell's reparation claim is totally unjustified, given that the activists acted out of a moral duty."Along with the activists we drew the world's attention to Shell's plans for this hostile, yet fragile environment, in which an oil spill would be impossible to clean up. "Since then it's been exposed that Shell's emergency response plan was hopelessly inadequate and failed when tested before the company gave up on drilling in the Arctic for this northern summer."The activists are not alone. Since they delayed the Noble Discoverer, back in February, more than two and a half million people have signed a petition calling on Shell to abandon its plans for the Arctic."Ends

09.20.13SCD-iBIO, an industrial biotechnology group associated with the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA), announced that DSM's vice president of bio-based chemicals and materials, Dr. Marcel Lubben, will be the keynote speaker at its Second International Forum on Commercializing Global Green: Markets from the Value Chain Perspective. The event will be held November 11-13, 2013, at the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) in Philadelphia, PA.
Marcel Lubben joined DSM in 1994, and since 2012 takes responsibility for the global activities of the company's Bio-Based Chemicals and Materials business – a group that brings together several global innovation teams focused on developing and commercializing renewable chemicals and downstream compounds. His technical and commercial leadership experience stems from a broad variety of industries including nutrition, pharma and materials. Lubben a/o serves as a board member of Reverdia, a large-scale facility for the commercial production of biobased succinic acid, which is a joint venture between DSM and Roquette.
"We are slowly, but certainly, starting the switch from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy," said Lubben. "Still at an early stage, it is clear there is no such thing as a silver bullet approach to force your way in. At DSM we believe that a profound understanding of the value chain and the integral relationship between biomass, products and applications are the most important keys to success in this emerging industry."
The Second International Forum is a three-day interactive event focusing on markets from the value chain perspective. End markets like packaging, automotive, aviation and personal care will be explored, as well as intermediate markets like composites, coatings and adhesives. Sponsors for this year's event include the American Chemical Society, Advanced Biofuels Association, BRAG, Bergeson & Campbell PC, Chemical & Engineering News, AIChE, Adhesive and Sealant Council, BioChemInsights, Inc., CHF and SOCMA.

Looking for a way to build its business, Taco Bell wants to become a destination for snacks.
The fast food chain plans to announce this week an expansion of its sweet treats menu, with the addition of churros and cookie sandwiches to its current lineup of cinnamon twists and caramel apple empanadas. And in coming weeks, it will beef up its offering of savory snacks with the introduction of its "loaded grillers," which are nachos, chicken or loaded baked potato wrapped in a tortilla.
By early next year, Taco Bell plans to launch a "Happier Hour" TV ad campaign touting its snack offerings.
The move follows a broader trend in the fast-food industry, with companies trying to find new ways to attract customers at all hours of the day, including breakfast.
Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands, which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut.

The discussion around whether or not jailbreaking iPhones should be exempt from the DMCA has just reached a level of ridiculousness that words can't really describe any longer. As some of you might know, Apple and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are in a tussle with one another over whether or not the US Copyright Office should put an exemption in the DMCA allowing the jailbreaking of iPhones. Apple's reasoning for why no exemption should be made is rather... Over-the-top.

RE: Someone should inform me...

Possibly that's because you built a communications system. Here we are building a mashup of entertainment systems that must be protected because of all that super-geeky proprietary stuff (yawn). When the fog clears way, the capitalists have their money securely stashed away, and everyone realizes that the system was never designed to handle what's being thrown at it the capitalist will swear they can't afford the upgrade and the government will rebuild the thing at taxpayer expense.

Sorting Saturday - Organizing Research Documents
The first step was to gather up all of the piles and bins of semi-organized documents (I'm sure more will turn up). Next I spent a couple of hours doing a quick sort by surname and in some cases locality. Fortunately, I had been organizing and sorting in spurts along the way so the pile wasn't a complete disorganized mess. The problem I have is that life gets in the way and the half organized papers get stuffed in a pile somewhere and forgotten.
I had a file drawer in the room where I work that would be a perfect place to house these papers, so I cleaned it out and threw most of the stuff away. Yeah!! Using the advice of my daughter's fourth grade teacher that "the brain loves color," I decided to color code the files by my four grandparents' lines and file by surname within those four colors.
Hopefully with these files within easy reach of my workspace, I will make some good progress on processing the results of some of my research.

OOOOOO, nice. Come do mine??? LOL And, to think, that I was happy to find my kitchen table this week, err, well, the surface of same.ReplyDelete
Isn't it fun to see progress and neatness once in awhile to our digging madness? I know I need to organize a bit again myself. How are you liking your class?ReplyDelete
Carol, I seem to be having the same problem with my dining room table right now. At least I have until Thanksgiving to get it cleared off!ReplyDelete
Cheryl, I am breathing a sigh of relief that this set of papers is at least all together, nice and neat in one place so I can find things. Now if it all would just magically process, analyze, and file itself in its final home with the proper ancestors. Ha ha! I do like the class because it is forcing me to choose some goals and work on them.
good to read, I Just got to dive In and do it.....ReplyDelete
decisions and a plan is the basic start!!
I used to print scan/ copy stuff on backs and had other different stuff on the back with seven pages of this and ten of the other and maybe three different trees. Oh the paper accumulation to recopy it to file it. and try and sort it... headache/
Isn't great to have everything organized! I love being able to locate things quickly. My paper file system and my computer system are the same. It makes sending info to family via email easy and fast. My mother's cousin contacted me for naturalization papers and I emailed them back with minutes of her email. She was amazed, I felt proud. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Rootdigger, I feel your pain, I've done the same thing with putting multiple items on the same page many times. I still catch myself doing it on occassion.ReplyDelete
Yes, decisions and a plan is the start and the hardest part.
Amy, Thanks for the encouragement!
What a good idea! I've just been trying to figure out how to organize the digital files I haven't sourced and analyzed, etc. Maybe the same technique will work for these. Thanks!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I've been trying to figure out how to organize the digital files (downloaded death certs, census images, etc.) that are in the same category of not being processed yet. I think I'll try to set up a series of files on the computer that work that way. Thanks!ReplyDelete

You have inspired me :) I think I shall set this coming week end aside to actually put the filing cabinet I bought to use... Probably wll take more then the weekend but it's a start.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing with us.
Loved the post! I've had everything organized and then collected more on trips home and find that I need to do it again! I know how I will be spending a Saturday soon! :)ReplyDelete
Cheryl, It's never ending isn't it?ReplyDelete

What comes first, posts defending Bray or outrage that the Jets were once again dissed because they didn't call him an ex-Jet?

They are calling THAT Battery?! LAME!!!
That's funny as all hell! Grabbed the paparazzi douche by the ankles and shook him upside down... LOLZ!!!
Sign this beast.
I applaud him.
Does this mean there will be no more threads about signing Bray?
sign this beast
Stupid thing to do but probably immensely satisfying given how ****ing awful the average paparazzi is.
This is......I don't even....
*sigh*...Really, Bray?
I mean...even though it was the Paparazzi, you know Goodell is going to come down on him for that. Bray lost his cool and may have lost any opportunity(however slim) of being on ANY NFL Team.
He should just retire and find some other line of work...
BTW, from his latest tweet, I *think* he's calling Bullcrap on what the Photog said(or maybe it's the report?) :

You saw his latest tweet, Harris?
He is calling bullcrap...
Really wish he was on the team instead of Gates. He wasn't fast but came up with a few huge plays a game.
Spring This beast
BTW, he called bullcrap on that so it's most likely not true.

COLUMBIA, Md. — Authorities on Sunday identified the gunman who shot and killed two people at a Maryland mall as a 19-year-old man who lived with his mother in suburban Washington.
Darion Marcus Aguilar of College Park, Md., carried out Saturday's attack with a shotgun at a skateboard shop at the Mall of Columbia before killing himself, police said.
Howard County Police Chief William McMahon said investigators are trying to determine whether Aguilar knew either of the victims, who were both shop employees, and whether he had a criminal record. They offered no motive for the shooting.
"There are a lot of unanswered questions," McMahon said at a news conference.
It took hours to identify the gunman since he was carrying ammunition and a backpack containing homemade explosives, McMahon said.
Officers searched Aguilar's home Saturday night, recovering ammunition and other evidence, police said.
The home is a two-story wood-frame house in a middle-income neighborhood called Hollywood, just off U.S. Route 1 and near the Capital Beltway. No one answered the door Sunday morning at the house, which had a Christmas wreath on the front door and signs that read "Beware of Dog" and advertising an alarm system.
Residents described the neighborhood as a mix of owners and renters, including some University of Maryland students. McMahon did not know if Aguilar was a student there.
Aguilar purchased the shotgun last month at a store in neighboring Montgomery County, McMahon said.
When police arrived at the mall, they found three bodies at the shop on the upper level.
Five other people were hurt in the attack and its aftermath, but only one was hit by gunfire. All were released from hospitals by Saturday evening.
At the time of the shooting, the mall was busy with weekend shoppers and employees.
"There were a lot of people very close to where this happened," Howard County Executive Ken Ulman said.
Police searched the mall with dogs overnight, and stores were to remain closed through Tuesday.
Joan Harding of Elkridge, Md., was shopping with her husband, David, for a tiara for their granddaughter's 18th birthday when she heard something heavy falling, followed by gunshots and people running.
"My husband said, 'Get down!' and the girl that worked in the store said, 'Get in the back,"' Harding said. That is where they hid until police searched the mall and signaled it was safe to leave.
The shooting took place at a shop called Zumiez, which sells skateboards, clothing and accessories. The company's chief executive, Rick Brooks, said employees were being offered counseling.
Police identified the victims as 21-year-old Brianna Benlolo of College Park, Md., and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson of Ellicott City, Md.
Benlolo's grandfather, John Feins, said in a telephone interview from Florida that his granddaughter had a 2-year-old son and that the job at Zumiez was her first since she went back to work after her son's birth.
"She was all excited because she was the manager there," he said.
He said he had spoken with his daughter, Brianna's mother, earlier in the day, but didn't know who the gunman was or whether the person knew his granddaughter.
He described his daughter's family as a military family that had moved frequently and had been in Colorado before moving to Maryland about two years ago. He said his granddaughter was on good terms with her son's father, and they shared custody.
"I mean what can you say? You go to work and make a dollar and you got some idiot coming in and blowing people away," he said.
The mall is at the center of the town, which is a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington.
Tonya Broughton of Silver Spring, Md., was with a friend getting facials when she heard people running and screaming, "There's a shooter! There's a shooter!" she said.
Wearing a gel face mask, she and her friend hid in a Victoria's Secret store.
Laura McKindles of Columbia, who works at a kiosk in the mall, said she heard eight to 10 gunshots, followed by people running and screaming. She ran into the backroom of a perfume store and locked the door.
Allison Cohen, who works at the Lucky Brand Jeans store, said she always felt safe at the mall.
"I truly never thought something like this would ever happen here," Cohen said. "It's really, really shocking."
