Ross Noble: Sonic Waffle
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2002
Following the worldwide success of his 2001 hit Slackers Playtime, king of comedy Noble returns to Edinburgh for the world premiere of his new show
Original Review:
Expectations are always high with Ross Noble.
He's an enviable and well-deserved reputation for spontaneous brilliance, spinning funny and fanciful tales from the smallest of details.
And he doesn't disappoint here with another dizzying display of improvisational pyrotechnics.
After a typically far-fetched intro, describing how he became a radioative fridge-boy, kung-fu monkey slayer, Noble bounds on stage for his trademark high-octane riffing, sparked off by the slightest things in the audience.
He produces such inspired punchlines from the most bizarre premises, so precisely formed yet genuinely unexpected, that it's hard to believe that he's making it up as he goes along, although there's no doubt that he is. Arsing about has never been so funny.
Noble could improvise like this for hours, weeks possibly. If there's one problem with his Edinburgh shows, it's the constraints of sticking to the hour-long timeslot, and several times during this performance he seemed to be racing against the clock.
For as well as the inspired ad-libbing, Noble also wants to give the material he's actually written a bit of an airing, too.
Alongside the genius of his spontaneous routines, his prepared routines can actually be a bit of an anticlimax. Only a little, mind, as his wonderfully surreal scenarios are still brilliantly inventive and funny, but they just don't have the same element of danger of his sublime freeform routines.
In Sonic Waffle, Noble muses mainly about Angel Delight and the Dalai Llama in the usual mix of absurd observation and dementedly surreal tangents, all delivered in his evocative Geordie drawl. (No one relishes the word 'e-vil' quite like him, which is probably why he uses it so often).
As he becomes increasingly established, it is tempting to dismiss Noble, especially as he makes it all look so easy, never falling from his comedic high-wire, but he remains a prodigious talent and a perennial highlight of the fringe.

Super cute
"These shoes run about a half size long and a tiny bit narrow. That worked out fine for me, since my feet are slightly narrow (and I prefer a snug fit, anyways). I was looking for a for oxford flats with a cute feminine touch, and these ones are exactly what I was looking for. These might just become my new favorite shoes. :)"

Delaware home cook Kathy Brennan scored a big win this past weekend in Chicago.
Brennan, who co-wrote the Keepers cookbook (Rodale, 2013) with her friend, food blogger Caroline Campion, was "stunned and thrilled" to win the General Cookbook category at the International Association of Culinary Professionals Awards.
Brennan, a Hockessin, Del., resident and Campion, of Gladstone, N.J., were competing against famed chef Alice Waters for her book, The Art of Simple Food II: Recipes, Flavor and Inspiration from the New Kitchen Garden (Clarkson Potter, 2013), and Mollie Katzen, author of the well-known vegetarian cookbook, The Moosewood Cookbook, whose latest publication is The Heart of the Plate (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013).
How big is this honor? Consider this: Katzen has more than 6 million books in print and is listed by the New York Times as one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time.
"It's kind of like going up against Meryl Streep, twice," Campion wrote on her blog, devilandegg.com.
While working as food editors at Saveur magazine, Brennan and Campion, both working mothers, often chatted about what they were making for dinner that night. Recipes and ideas for winning dishes were swapped and it was reassuring to hear that someone else was in the same situation.
The pair hit upon the idea for Keepers, which features more than 125 "tried-and-true" weeknight recipes as well as tips on food, shopping, and family meals.
The name of the cookbook comes from tasting dishes at the New York-based magazine's test kitchen. If a recipe won over tasters, it was labeled a "keeper."
"Thank you to everyone for all your support and to our team for helping us get here!" Brennan and Campion wrote on their "Keepers Cooks" Facebook page.

- Kit Includes: EfficiencyPro clip, Travel Pouch
- One year limited warranty
- About the brand
Developed by the beauty experts at Braun, this next-generation epilator gives you efficient epilation. A series of small tweezers rotate and grab onto your hair, removing it quickly and efficiently. Your skin will look and feel smooth for up to four weeks.
Model#: SE5180 / SKU: 000454
Before using, soften skin by bathing and dry your skin thoroughly. Avoid lotion of any sort because it will make your hair slippery and difficult for the epilator to catch. Rub your hair in the opposite direction of growth in order to make the hairs stand up, and test out the epilator on a piece of skin before you begin in order to get used to the sensation. When you're ready (remember: no pain, no gain!) place the epilator against your skin and move it in the opposite direction of hair growth (like shaving). The slower you go, the more hair the epilator will be able to remove. After one or a few strokes, you'll be hair-free for weeks to come.
Braun exceeds expectations from shaving to styling, winning a Red Dot Design Award and Men's Health Grooming Award for hair removal appliances. Our Braun selection includes shavers, epilators and trimmers guaranteed to please.

Wrestling at Emery High School is alive and well although there is lots of room for the team to grow. This past weekend Emery traveled to the American Fork Duals and did quite well. Emery finished fourth out of six teams but individually several wrestlers did quite well. McKay Allred, Mike Jones and Kenny Baker each went 5-0 at the tournament and took first place. Hayden Hatch also took first place but went 4-1. Jace Guymon also finished 4-1 but ended up second. Jake Gardner and Cade Whittle each finished in second place and had 3-2 records. McKay Allred took his season record to 26-1 with the five wins. Allred lost his first match of the season wrestling at a higher weight but has been untouchable since that match. McKay decisioned his first guy, a wrestler from American Fork 6-0 and then pinned his next 4 opponents. They were from West High, Granger High, Timpanogos High and an independent team made up of wrestlers from several high schools.
Mike Jones wrestled well at the tournament. Mike pinned all five opponents while no opponent scored a point against him. This was the best that Jones has wrestled this season.
Wrestling is getting better at Emery High but the problem still exists that Emery cannot usually field an entire team and gives up points due to forfeits. The Spartans still have a need for more participants in their system.
Last week, Emery also hosted North Sanpete in the opening of region and lost 67-11. North Sanpete has a good wrestling program with most wrestlers starting as freshmen rather than sophomores. The parents from Mt Pleasant commented that their junior wrestling coaches due a great job and that the kids wrestle lots of matches each year as they are growing up. That seems to be a common theme with all schools that do well, their kids wrestle seriously at an early age.
Only two Spartans won their matches against their Hawk rivals. Allred, at 125 pounds, pinned his opponent in the second round after taking a 7-2 lead. Wade Bohn, at 189 pounds, won his match in the third round with a score of 21-5 to register a technical fall. Bohn, with a record of 20-2, did not travel to American Fork.
Other results of the North Sanpete match are Zach Walls at 119, pinned in the second round. Hayden Hatch lost by a decision at 130 pounds. Keith Bird, at 135, was pinned in the first round. Jace Guymon, at 140, and Jake Gardner, at 145, each lost by decision. Cade Whittle, at 152, was pinned in the first round, Mike Jones, at 171, was pinned in the second round. Kenny Baker, at 215, was pinned in the second round and Caleb Jones at 285 was pinned in the first round. Emery did not field wrestlers at 103, 112 or 160.
Coach Buck Taylor is "pleased with the progress his wrestlers have made this season and his team will see how good they really are when they travel to Vernal and participate in the Tournament of Champions with teams from around the west."
At American Fork, Allred was named outstanding wrestler for his team while Jones was a finalist for outstanding wrestler for the meet.

In what world you people are living in? What exactly is OLD Russian Federation? Can you learn history before you make such ridiculous claims?
And why France is inclined anywhere or Israel?
Need a pirate feed for those of us outside Europe/Canada. Go go go.
Second, if you are so much into politics you should know by now that France and Russia has not been close when it comes to ice dancing this year. Just open the newspapers and read all the accusitions flying back and forth between two federations. France also has their own team they would like to see win Gold this year.
As for Israel and your Jewish comment, I am not even going to dicuss this kind of insulting and borderline anti-sematic comment.
Your ignorance is just unbelievable.
Less flamewar, more pirate feeds. Go.

The key to stopping Jags' QB Chad Henne
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Nov 29 2012 1:51PM
Through the past two weeks, the Jacksonville Jaguars have been rejuvenated on offense mostly due to the play of quarterback Chad Henne.
In two games, Henne has thrown for 615 yards, six touchdowns as opposed to just one interception. Even more important, the Jaguars won last week and came quite close to pulling a major upset on the road in Houston during an overtime loss.
"Henne, if you can't get him off the spot or you're not in his face, he's always been able to make good throws, makes good decisions," said Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams. "That goes a long way for an offense."
With the way the Bills defensive line has been playing, maybe that ideology will work. However, it's easier said than done, and Williams made sure to say that there's a whole lot more that goes in to it.
"Yeah, what you've got to try to make him move, get him off the spot. But number one we have to stop the run," he said. "You get in 3rd-and-3 and 3rd-and-4 down situations, that's no good for you. If we can get up and win on first and second down, get him in some longer spots where we can get him off the spot and get off the field it'll be better."
With Henne at the helm, the Jaguars have posted a whopping 61 points over the past two weeks. They take on the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday.

Cherry Creek point guard Graham Parr was so sick to his stomach he had to sit out his team's Sweet 16 game of the 5A tournament.
The rest of the Bruins felt just about the same after Sam Stoveall had the ball stripped away as he was driving for a potential game-tying basket in the closing seconds March 6. The steal by Anthony Murray enabled No. 2 seed Cherokee Trail to hang on for a 61-59 victory at home, denying the sixth-seeded Bruins' bid for a second-straight trip to the Great Eight.
"It's a heartbreaker,'' said senior center Graham Pingree, unable to hold back tears along with his teammates. "We should've beaten them two weeks ago (when the Cougars rallied in the fourth quarter). We could've beaten them tonight, but things just didn't fall our way.''
Cherry Creek (14-12) mounted a comeback of its own against Centennial League rival and conference champion Cherokee Trail (18-7). The Bruins trailed by 9 points with 1:37 left, by 8 at the 1:03 mark and by 4 with 26.4 seconds to go.
A 3-pointer by Stoveall and two free throws by Pingree cut the 9-point deficit to 58-52 and, after two free throws by Drick Bernstine made it 60-52, Caesar Jones hit a trey and Pingree followed a Cougars turnover with a bucket inside.
Bernstine, a University of Denver signee who missed Cherokee Trail's first playoff game with a knee injury, missed the second of two free throws at the 26.4 mark, and Stoveall made it 61-59 on a driving layup.
Creek got a huge break when the Cougars' Solomon Yon missed two free throws with 11.9 seconds left. Stoveall took the ball downcourt and was going down the right side of the lane when Murray knocked the ball free.
"I just made a mistake and it cost us the game,'' said Stoveall, a 6-foot-1 senior who had 13 points, including his first two 3-pointers in three games.
"Caesar and Sam hitting those threes were really big for us,'' said Pingree, a senior who had a game-high 16 points. "Our guys really stepped up defensively, and that's been our MO all year. We got some stops and fouled the right people at the end, and that got us in the game.''
Will Bower, a 6-3 sophomore who usually draws the toughest defensive assignment for Creek, held the 6-5 Bernstine to three field goals and 12 points, though Pingree said Bernstine "didn't look 100 percent to me.'' Bower also scored 8 points.
But without Parr, who had practiced as late as March 5, Creek's ballhandling wasn't up to par, especially against the quicker Cougars. The Bruins committed 17 turnovers leading to 19 Cherokee Trail points in the first three quarters, but only had three in the fourth-quarter comeback, including the one by Stoveall at the end.
"It hurts when you lose your point guard, but we're not making any excuses,'' said Creek coach Mike Brookhart.
"He's been our centerpiece all year,'' Pingree said of Parr.
Creek almost overcame the turnovers by shooting 50 percent from the floor (the Cougars shot .361 for three quarters and were 12-of-18 from the foul line in the fourth and 18-28 overall to the Bruins' 9-13).
Pingree hit double figures scoring for the eighth time in nine games and 18th overall.
"Graham had a really good season,'' Brookhart said of the senior, who was not part of the regular rotation in 2012. "He was one of the most improved players in the state, I believe.''
"It's an honor to have him say that,'' said Pingree, who averaged 11.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. "I just worked my butt off in the offseason to get to where I am today. My teammates definitely got me open and most of my baskets, it wasn't me doing it, it was my teammates getting me the ball in the right place.''
Stoveall, the other main senior cog, averaged 16.0 points including 51 of his team's 84 3-pointers.
The good news for 2014 is that Bower and Parr, who averaged 8.4 and 6.7, return along with Jones (season-high 12 points including two 3's in the finale), Taylor Shepard and 6-4 Dylan Schneider.
"We're always encouraged about the future,'' said Brookhart, noting Creek started three underclassmen throughout the season.
But for Brookhart, the emphasis March 6 was on the accomplishments of his 2013 team. With just two regulars back from a 2012 team that lost by one point to Rangeview in the quarterfinals, Creek faced a schedule that included a loss to No. 1 Denver East and two each to the Centennial League trio of top four seeds Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest (2) and Grandview (4). The Bruins beat Arapahoe twice, and the Warriors, also a No. 6 seed, advanced to the Great Eight after two straight Final Four appearances. The Bruins reached the Sweet 16 with a second-round upset of No. 3 seed Aurora Central on March 2.
"I feel bad for the kids,'' Brookhart said of the season-ending loss. "They played their guts out and I'm proud of them. We had our chance for the final eight and we didn't do some things we needed to do.''

By NANCY B. BRENNANCamarillo, Calif.
A massive two-part scheme is being perpetrated on our citizens by the federal government. Very few citizens are aware of it because the feds are quietly promoting it. Part one started in 1994 when the North American Free Trade Agreement was sold to the American people as a simple trade agreement. It had nothing to do with free trade because it entangled us in a foreign bureaucracy that actually controlled our trade and forced us to modify some of our laws. Also, NAFTA caused many citizens to lose their jobs. Now the feds want to build a NAFTA super highway throughout our country from Mexico to Canada. It will cost many billions of dollars. The right of eminent domain will be used to condemn private property for this highway. Also, customs inspection stations will be moved from the borders to hundreds of miles inland.Cargo will be checked only electronically at the borders.
Part two began in 2005 when the feds wanted to entangle us in the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America with Mexico and Canada. If we enter this partnership, our borders with Mexico and Canada will be permanently erased. Obviously, the federal government has no interest in securing our borders or we would not have many millions of illegals here today. The federal solution is to eliminate our borders using the SPP. Concerned citizens need to contact their U.S. Representative and their two U.S.Senators to demand that this planned highway be stopped and the SPP be rejected.

Sometimes, in spite of your best intentions to keep your mouth shut so that you do not stick your foot in to it, something persists and you just have to go ahead and do it. It seems that you just cannot help yourself. This is one of those times.
I just could not believe it the other day, OK it was a couple of weeks ago, when the Emery football team got dissed not only once but twice in the biggest newspaper in the state in the same week. What's up with that? Did we step in somebody's Wheaties or something?
What did the poor old Spartans do to upset their apple cart? Did we win too much, did we lose too much, did we defeat the cousin of the sports writer or what?
Emery, especially over the last 15-20 years or so, has been a pretty good athletic school. We have accounted for ourselves very well in contests of athletic prowess. Whether male or female, varsity or JV, everybody that has faced Emery in whatever sport being played knew they had just played a team with pride in themselves and in their school. Unlike some schools or teams I have seen over the years, Emery never mailed it in, they showed up and gave their all.
Maybe, just maybe somewhere in that time frame, the writer was caught in the path of the Spartans and he never forgot nor forgave and he has been waiting for a long time to get even. This was his shot.
Well, as my mother always told me, sticks and stones can break your bones but names will never hurt you. And that is true here. Write what you want but it isn't going to affect this school.
This year's football team played hard, got better each and every week and were an enjoyment to watch (usually).
Now it is basketball season and wrestling season too, and again it will be fun to follow these kids as they play their hearts out. Don't diss us again. If these kids need dissing, we'll do it locally, we do not need your help.

|In response to Re: Odor problem inside our home
: We have a 12 year old home, connected to public sewer system. We have three bathrooms. Our last child moved out over 2 years ago,so two of the bathrooms have had very little if any use. Recently we noticed an odor throughout our home. Not exactly a sewer odor, but still pretty foul. AFter checking, we find it is definitely coming from our drainage system somewhere. A friend told us that sometimes pipes that go unused for long periods of time can develop a bacteria that results in an odor. We've ran water through sinks, baths, and commodes througout the house for two weeks. We used bleach in the pipes, even Draino several times. The odor is still there

Comments: So I bought this lure as a replacement for an old stickbait that broke a little while back. I figured if I was going want something in black I might as well get on pre-painted instead of using a sharpie. Yes, a sharpie. Anyway, I took it out to a local pond to test it out. After a couple of casts, a fish boiled on it and missed. Looked to be decent sized. Few casts later, I get a blow up and it turned out to be a nice four pound fish. Few more casts and BOOM. Another four. Needless to say, I have a new favorite topwater. My only complaint is that the metal used for the hooks is a bit on the soft side and was bent out after a third fish. Other than that, though, the bait is amazing. Great paint job(I believe my friend described it as "sexy") and detail. The painted split rings and feather treble are also nice. It has a subwalk-esque action on flouro.

Resources, Policy Available Protection of Minors
Members of the University community who work with people under the age of 18 who aren't SLU students are asked to read the policy.
As part of its mission, Saint Louis University offers a number of programs that serve persons under the age of 18 who are not enrolled as SLU students. The SLU community must ensure that its programs and operations do not pose a risk to the safety of the minors who participate in them. Because the University is committed to providing safe academic environments for all its students, faculty, staff and visitors, a policy specifically for the protection of minors has been approved and is being implemented.
The Policy for the Protection of Minors applies to all members of the University community, as well as volunteers and others, who engaged in activities and programs that serve or include minors on campus, as well as University-sponsored activities that take place off campus. All those who are involved in activities, events or programs that involve minors who are not enrolled as SLU students are asked to take a few moments to read through the policy and take note of the steps that must be taken to protect the safety of those minors. It is the responsibility of every SLU program to review and implement the policy as appropriate for individual programs involving with minors.
Resources related to implementation of the Policy, and other educational tools for those who are engaged with minors are available on the Protection of Minors website.

Hello my name is Cody Rudman, a scout from Cleveland First ward troop, #302 . I am working on my communications merit badge.
I participated in the Dust Riders Riding Club. The riding club practice was held at the Blue Sage Arena in Castle Dale. The new indoor arena has made it really nice to practice in the mornings during the summer, and Joel Dorsch really helped with working the arena up to keep the dust down. We had 40 members in our club. The person organizing the riding club, Lana Kofford, did a good job controlling the kids. Lana did well in teaching us how to do the drill and speed events. We really appreciate all she does for our club and all the kids as individuals. We also won the competition against Carbon County.

As you learned in "Paper Chase," you write a research paper to argue a thesis. To do so, you cite other writers' words and ideas, giving full credit. As you write, you honor your moral responsibility to use someone else's ideas ethically and make it easy for readers to check your claims. What should you document? Give a source for everything that's not common knowledge, the information an educated person is expected to know. If you fail to give adequate credit, you can be charged with plagiarism.
Plagiarism means using some else's words without giving adequate credit. Plagiarism is …
Use square brackets, [ ], to add necessary information to a quotation.
Plagiarism is representing someone else's words or ideas as your own.
Fortunately, avoiding plagiarism is a piece of cake: you just document your sources correctly. Be especially careful when you create paraphrases. It's not enough to change a few words, rearrange a few sentences, and call it kosher. Here's how to correct the problem with parenthetical documentation:

Not plagiarism:
As you've already learned in this section, to create a footnote or endnotes, just add the subscript number at the end of the sentence or passage in place of the parenthetical citation.

Three years in the making and involving over 300 experts, the fifth edition of UNEP's Global Environment Outlook (GEO-5) was officially launched 06 June 2012.
The UN's most comprehensive environmental assessment, GEO-5 provides the international community with the state of the global environment and related trends, covering atmosphere, land, water, biodiversity and other areas. The study also includes a global scorecard on internationally-agreed environmental goals. Progress and gaps towards achieving around 90 targets–from managing chemicals and tackling desertification to supporting wetlands–will be outlined in detail.
GEO-5 has identified policy responses for all global regions to deal with their most pressing environmental concerns and to support overall sustainable development.
As governments, civil society and other groups prepare for negotiations at Rio+20, GEO-5 will provide science-based analysis that maps out the extent of environmental pressures facing the planet and solutions for managing them sustainably.
GRID-Arendal and the Ministry of the Environment of Norway jointly organized the Oslo launch of GEO-5 on 07 June.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – They stood just feet apart on the podium at the base of the moguls course, but Hannah Kearney, on the third-place step, couldn't have felt further apart from the young Canadian sisters, 22-year-old Chloe Dufour-Lapointe, on the second-place step, and 19-year-old Justine on top.
Tears streamed down Kearney's face as she realized not just that she had failed to repeat as Olympic moguls champion, but that her Olympic experience was over. The Dufour-Lapointe sisters, however, are just getting started.
Kearney was trying to become the first free skier in Olympic history to win consecutive gold medals, and she nearly had it late Saturday night. But a tricky bump near the top of the run caused a bobble in each of her three runs, just enough of a mistake to allow the sisters to leap-frog her to the top of the podium.
"I think I really gave it away is what it felt like. It was mine to ski for. I did try my best. The only positive I can see I guess is that I didn't lose because I was conservative, or being complacent," Kearney said.
SNOWBOARDING: How USA Olympian won Sochi's 1st gold
Kearney had been the bright new face at an Olympics before – first as a wide-eyed overwhelmed 19-year-old in Turin, and then four years ago as an underdog challenger in Vancouver, where she was the one who pulled off the upset in knocking off gold medal favorite Jenn Heil. Here in Sochi, she was the overwhelming favorite.
"It's very difficult coming off of a gold. From the top there is nowhere to go but stay there or fall, and I fell. Only two places, but enough that it really feels like a disappointment," Kearney said. "No one in life wants the best part of their career to be behind them, and unfortunately that's what it feels like right now, that I've done my best in my past."
Kearney isn't retiring just yet – she will compete in more World Cup events – but Saturday's run under the lights in the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park was her final time on an Olympic course. At age 27, she has decided the 2018 Games in Pyeongyang, South Korea, is not an option.
Whenever Kearney does retire, she'll leave as one of the most accomplished American moguls skiers, having not just won the gold in 2010 and this bronze, but 27 of 37 World Cup races in the four years between. She also overcame a brutal crash a year ago in which she broke several ribs and suffered internal injuries that left her in severe pain and unable to do much physical rehabilitation. By the time the 2013 season was over, she had won the overall title.
Many of those battles came against the Dufour-Lapointe sisters (the eldest sister, Maxime, finished 12th, eliminated in the semifinal), who on Saturday became only the second set of sisters to win gold and silver in the same Olympic event.
With parents Johane Dufour and Yves LaPointe watching anxiously from the standing viewing area – leaning up against a railing to be as close to their daughters as possible – Justine scored the best run of the day in the six-woman super final, receiving a score of 22.44. Her parents cheered and clapped for several moments, then fell silent as Chloe pointed her skis down the run.
Her run was good, but not as good as her sister's. With only Kearney left to ski, the Dufour-LaPointes let themselves begin to celebrate. When Kearney faltered, the parents erupted. They hugged, and screamed and cried, and were mobbed by reporters and other members of the Canadian contingent.
How great it must be to watch one child win an Olympic medal. But two? On the same day, in the same event?
"I'm so happy for my three daughters, all three Olympians, two medals at home. Incredible. I'm so anxious to grab and kiss them. I haven't had a chance the last three weeks, so bring me my babies!" Dufour said.
Johane and Yves enrolled their daughters in ski lessons when each was between two and a half and three years old. The family's first love was sailing, but the girls needed an outlet in the winter. They were competitors, but never rivals, and always best friends – even Saturday night, when they knew only one of them could win a gold medal.
The sisters held hands as they stood atop their podiums for the flower ceremony (they will receive their medals in Sochi on Sunday) and locked eyes.
"It meant that I wasn't alone, you know? I was there, and couldn't imagine that I would step up on the first step of the podium," Justine said. "I was shocked, and then I saw Chloe, and I felt calm again. I took her hand, and you know what, Chloe, we will live that moment together, and it will be more like home."

Apache OpenOffice  3.0.1 RC1
- Grammar checking is now available in OpenOffice.org Writer. Therefore the former dialog gets extended to handle grammar checking too. The dialog is now also able to show a vendor logo as a bitmap and name in the dialog title.
- As practice has shown, it is a quite common case that OOo is used to edit documents of alien formats on network. Unfortunately it looks to be impossible to let the file be locked using file system locking, since it does not work in heterogeneous file systems as expected, and the mentioned scenario has been recognized as very important one. Thus the locking mechanics of OOo is not recognizable for third-party applications, except they implement support for OOo locking mechanics. The implementation in childworkspace fwk94 let the alien files be locked using the OOo file locking mechanics as well. That solves at least the cases when a file of alien format is edited only by OOo3.x in network.

FAA Electronics Ban on Planes Causes More Harm Than Good

(Source: NBC Universal)
Passengers are acting out against the rules and even hurting one another
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) worries that
electronic device use on planes
places passengers in harm's way, but the real issue is that the FAA is spreading fear about an issue that hasn't been proven yet.
The FAA has set rules that make it so passengers cannot use electronic devices like smartphones, tablets and e-readers during takeoff and landing on a flight. However, there is no solid proof that electronics affect the way a plane performs. This has been in question for some time, but the FAA continues to impose these rules on passengers, and it has caused panic and even injuries among those who travel by plane.
For instance, a 68-year-old man punched a 15-year-old on a plane when the teenager refused to turn off his smartphone during a flight. According to the man, he was doing it to save the entire plane from any harmful consequences.
Just a couple of months ago, a passenger was arrested in El Paso when he decided not to turn off his cell phone during landing. Last month, another passenger did the same when landing in New York and a swarm of cop cars were waiting for him once he exited the plane.
Of course, many also remember the incident where Alec Baldwin was kicked off a plane in 2011 for playing Words With Friends.
This goes to show that the FAA is causing more trouble by making people believe that electronics are an issue when they may very well not be.
Back in March, the FAA said it would
the effects of tablet/e-reader use
during takeoff and landing.

The FAA likely put this testing off due to costs and the amount of testing required for these devices to pass. In order for the FAA to approve the use of e-readers and tablets during takeoff and landing, each kind of device needs to be tested. For example, an iPad cannot be tested alone; the iPad 2 and the new iPad must be tested as well. There are already several versions of the Kindle available as well, such as the Kindle Fire tablet, and many other Android-powered tablets on the market. There are now Windows 8 tablets on the market too.
In early December 2011, the FAA raised a few eyebrows when
allowing American Airlines pilots to use iPads in the cockpit
. The FAA allowed iPads to replace paper manuals and charts, and they could be used during takeoff and landing. The FAA argued that allowing two iPads in the cockpit was a significantly different scenario than several passengers using several devices for longer periods of time.
Earlier this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
pressured the FAA to allow greater use of electronic devices
during takeoff and landing because
"they empower people to stay informed and connected with friends and family, and they enable both large and small businesses to be more productive and efficient, helping drive economic growth and boost U.S. competitiveness."
The New York Times
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

By Elaine Tassy/Journal Staff Writer
Joe Sanchez, a jocular 84-year-old retired U.S. Army lieutenant, was vacuuming inside his Uptown home on the hot, sunny afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 13, while Sally, his wife of more than 60 years, was dusting in the kitchen and living room.
Suddenly, Joe experienced a back pain so shocking, unprecedented and severe he had to stop and sit down. When he began to moan, their son Bruce told his mother to call 911.
The team that saved Joe Sanchez, from left: Fred Apodaca and Chris Chavez, both registered radiologic technologists, and Dr. Steve Henao, a vascular surgeon, in the room where they successfully performed the first surgery in the U.S. that saved the life of a patient having an abdominal aortic aneurysm. (Jim Thompson/Albuquerque Journal)
On Joe's arrival, emergency personnel found his blood pressure was down to 40 over 0. His abdominal aorta, a major vessel transporting blood from the lower to upper body, had ruptured and he was about to die, like 90 percent of people in his situation.
Forty-eight hours later, Sanchez was back at home with his family, still perplexed and amazed, and not only because he was still alive.
He was also the first person in the country who, without invasive major surgery, was rescued from an emergency abdominal aortic rupture by a device approved in January 2013 by the FDA. The life-saving procedure was performed in the cardiovascular lab of Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center by Dr. Steve Henao, an endovascular surgeon with the New Mexico Heart Institute.
"The fact that I was the first one!" Sanchez said during a recent interview at his tidy home a few weeks before returning for his six-month follow-up Feb. 5. "Jeepers! They could have made a mistake!"
Sanchez has since lost 30 pounds and takes five pills a day, but is otherwise the same vibrant man he was before. He's enjoying retirement with his wife, as well as his son and his daughter, both in their 50s, his five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

"They must have known that I didn't have much time! How'd they know that was my problem?" he wonders still, amazed and grateful.
That August day, by the time EMTs loaded Sanchez into the back of an ambulance, he was unresponsive. Sally climbed in front with the driver, hoping her husband would survive and that they wouldn't have a car accident on the way. They made it to the Heart Hospital emergency room where they met Henao.
The symptoms Sanchez arrived with at the ER spelled emergency, and saving him depended on the successful non-surgical implantation of a device, called the Ovation Prime trivascular endograph stent system, which was created by non-medical engineers in California.
Only several inches long and available in different sizes, it travels through a catheter from the patient's groin and gets threaded into place as a surgeon and a team of radiological professionals watch its progress via ultrasound and X-ray images. Once in place, the device will eject, from built-in rings around the neck, a polymer that dries to the texture of a pencil eraser and creates a permanent seal that closes off the rupture.
Henao's team that day included certified radiological technologists Fred Apodaca and Chris Chavez. Steve Bachicha, an X-ray radiologist and registered cardiovascular invasive specialist with 16 years experience, was also in the room, since he sells the device and trains medical professionals to use it. More than a dozen other staffers were in an adjacent control room.
A serious, thoughtful 42-year-old originally from Texas with eight years of surgical experience, Henao had already performed about 60 open-heart operations, but never one like this, where no incision is made into the chest cavity while a patient is near death.
The doctor and his team had only five minutes to scrub up, rather than the 30 it usually takes.
Henao had Sanchez moved from the ER to the cardiovascular lab, which had the right equipment. He suited up in a monogrammed shield that protects him from the X-rays.
That Apodaca and Chavez were on duty was a relief to Henao, who had worked well with them many times before and trusted they would give him the back-up he needed without much talk. The first step was to use ultrasound to get a look inside and take a "before" picture, which showed that the vessel, normally 1.8 centimeters in diameter, had ballooned to 8 or 9 centimeters.
Dr. Steve Henao, 42, holds a stent like the one he used to save Joe Sanchez's life in August. (Jim Thompson/Albuquerque Journal)
In a rapid-fire procedure that called for the first-time use of the device in an emergency, Henao and the techs threaded the stent through Sanchez's groin and into position so it could close off the rupture. In about 20 minutes, it was secure, and the polymer ejected through its rings had dried to create a new portion of his previously leaking aorta. The "After" picture showed the rupture was 100 percent sealed off.
The moment they knew they had succeeded was unforgettable. "It's a feeling you wish you had every day, because you held a life in your hand, and that life gets to continue," said Apodaca.
Added Chavez: "A patient was minutes away from leaving us! It was very impressive."
Once they knew Sanchez was saved, the techs and Bachicha were sharing high-fives like never before, and the surgeon was soon on the phone with his mother, who burst into tears upon hearing about what Henao describes this way: "If I was going to end my career today, that would be the crowning achievement of what I've ever done."
His team agrees. "It was basically the Super Bowl for us," said Bachicha. "Fourth down, 20 yards, two seconds on the clock, and we nailed it!"
Now, as Sanchez is carrying on with life just like before, he still can't believe someone half his age was so quickly and nimbly able to save him.
"What is he, 16, 16½?" he asked jokingly of Henao.
For his part, the doctor says the two men are like best friends, even though they never told each other. "Some non-verbal things," Henao said in a voice full of emotion, "you just can't express."

I was to attend the University of Michigan, double major in political science and economics, take the LSAT, attend law school, pass the bar and go from there. I even got into arguments with my older brothers when they told me to be open-minded as I left for school. But life took a few turns — some of them sharp — between then and now. I chose Michigan for its large campus, student diversity, and rigor in academic disciplines. Okay...I confess. At 18, I chose Michigan because of the Big Ten sports. I was ready to see national championships first hand. But as my sports expectations came crashing down, the other things that Michigan offered began to shine. I joined a sorority. I played intramural sports. I went to concerts, saw the Dalai Lama and wrote for the campus newspaper. I followed the hockey team to the Frozen Four. Oh yeah, and I studied, too! I took and enjoyed classes with incredibly passionate professors. I can't pinpoint the exact moment I knew I was going to become a teacher, but the person I became at Michigan is a more relaxed and open-minded version of the 18-year old aspiring lawyer I once was. I am now the ecstatic recipient of a degree in English and a high school teaching certificate. I am also committed to writing whenever and wherever I can and to making real changes in the way writing is taught today. As a recent college graduate smack-dab in the middle of a job search, I plan to combine my passion for writing with my absolute love for the college years to bring you weekly posts with tried and true advice, honest perspective and a little bit of humor along the way. As a Scholarships.com virtual intern, I'll be looking back while looking ahead.Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Check out the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search where you'll discover you qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in just a few minutes, then apply and win! It's that easy!

MEET GREG MCELROY: The third-stringer now enters the Jets' QB picture
After 17-year-old high school student Deanna Rivers and her friend Christopher Stewart were killed by a drunk driver Saturday night, students at their Albany, N.Y. area school started a Twitter campaign to get the New York Jets quarterback to call Rivers' boyfriend, a local football player named Matthew Hardy, with support.
The hashtag #TebowCallMatt began trending on the site - a similar effort was implemented for Stewart's girlfriend Bailey Wind with Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin - and earlier Monday, Tebow took the time to dial the grieving teenager, who along with Wind, was injured in the accident.
Tebow tweeted about it Monday evening.
"Thanks to everyone who got #TebowCallMatt trending & helped connect us. Matt truly inspired me. God bless y'all"
Hardy's brother also confirmed the call via Twitter, but neither he or Tebow disclosed what was said.

I was on the Jimmy Fallon show 3 years ago, for battle of the dance crew. We were told to only speak to him when we were spoken to and to keep our answers short when asked a question. Nice guy, but he's still a celebrity with a celeb ego."
Unless you met him after the show, that's logic. The show has a timetable to make, otherwise it is crap. And before, dude has to prepare it because he is a professional.
I wouldn't care a lot if this was the reason. It would piss me off if we met AFTER the show and he was that asshole.
I was thinking the same thing.
No offense crilla, i just think certain celebs prepare in different ways. I'm sure he has to prep before the show sometimes u can't take on too much mentally. Perhaps the order didn't come from him. Maybe a producer/director. ((Shrug))ReplyCancel
No offense taken at all Kermit. I just think a celeb is a celeb, and with all celebs there is a degree of ego. I still like Jimmy's shows, and I think he's a great host. Other than that, I really don't care. I just think it's cool I was able to be on his show.ReplyCancel
Nonsense. Dyslexia (which he's never said he has and anyway is impossible because Co$ says it isn't real) would not prevent Travolta from remembering five syllables.
This is a man who's been in theatre, television, and film. He can remember his lines, he just didn't.ReplyCancel

Dear Mr. Dad: I've been reading about the recent White House study showing that one in five women will be the victim of rape at some point in her life. As a mother of twins (a boy and a girl) who are graduating high school, I'm scared for my daughter's safety and I'm worried that my might do something unspeakable. What can I do to protect both of my children?
A: The first thing to do is calm down. For as much media coverage as the White House study got, it is one of the most flawed, inflammatory, and just plain incorrect pieces of "research" I've ever seen.
Let's start with the numbers. To come up with its 1-in-5 statistic, the White House task force relied on a 2011 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) which used a very broad definition of "sexual violence," Besides forced genital and oral sex (whether by violence, drugs, or threats—the kinds of things that most people would consider rape), the CDC included "forced kissing" and "rubbing up against you in a sexual way, even if it is over your clothes." That behavior shouldn't be tolerated. But dirty dancing is not rape. To suggest that it is just plain wrong.
The CDC study also includes as victims of "sexual assault" women who answered Yes when asked whether they had ever had sex with someone who had pressured them by "telling you lies" or by making "false promises about the future they knew were untrue," or "by showing they were unhappy." Again, not nice, but regretting a sexual encounter after the fact doesn't make it rape.
Besides relying on the results of ambiguous questions, the White House also claimed that just 12% of campus sexual assaults are reported—meaning that 88% aren't. Mark Perry, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan—a guy who know a thing or two about statistics—carefully looked at the data and came up with a very different story. Between 2009 and 2012, there were 137 sexual offenses reported at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. If that's 12%, the other 88% would be 1,004, bringing the total to 1,141. Dividing that by the 22,330 female students and the University (51.6% of 43,275), reveals that a female student's actual chance of being sexually assaulted is 5.1%–a quarter of what the what the White House is claiming—and that's still counting dirty dancing and being lied to as rape.
The report has a number of other flaws. For example, it completely overlooks a growing body of solid research finding that sexual assault on campuses is hardly a one-way street. In fact, young men and young women are equally likely to admit to having pressured someone else into having sex.
But a more serious problem is the report's recommendations to essentially strip accused male students of their legal rights. The report states that "[t]he parties should not be allowed to personally cross-examine each other." Um, the Constitution's 6th Amendment, however, grants anyone accused of any crime anywhere that exact right.
Obviously, this is a much bigger issue than I can tackle here. But the bottom line is this: talk with your son and your daughter about unwanted sexual advances and about the statistical distortions the White House is peddling. As a parent, I'm sure you don't want your daughter thinking of herself as a victim—and I know you don't want your son to become a victim of overzealous college administrators who see every young man as a rapist waiting to happen.

Stay comfortably in the Alto Maestrazgo
The Hostal de la Trucha hotel complex is located in the regional district of the Alto Maestrazgo (Teruel), in the buildings that held the first paper factories in Aragón. They also made envelopes, books, notepads and paper money. The paper money was a title or bill of exchange known as Vales Reales. They were created in 1780 by King Carlos III with the aim of helping his military campaigns against England. They had an annual interest of 4%. These vales were so successful that with them they financed the Canals of Aragón and Tauste. Later, they became textile factories and hence the name of its address: Paraje las Fábricas.
We offer comfortable rooms and rural apartments for you to relax in Teruel. Book your room on the Official Website at the best price guaranteed.

|In response to Re: Retrofitting jacuzzi to current tub drain
: Hello,
: I am replacing a standard tub with a corner unit jacuzzi tub, and have a question about the drain situation. I will be as detailed as possible, since I cannot include a diagram here.
: The current drain goes straight down from the overflow into the slab foundation. An approx 12" square has been removed from the slab to allow for a horizontal run to the tub's drain. The horizontal run appears to be attached to the viertcal pipe by a threaded T fitting.
The overflow's tee can be turned to the horizontal, you will still need the p-trap.
: The new tub's overflow and drain is approx 36" from the old vertical pipe running into the slab. My current plan is to run a horizontal pipe against the wall from the new drain/overflow kit to the current drain running into the slab.
: My questions:
: 1. Is it important the the overflow run straight down into the slab? My current plan would not allow for this.
: 2. How much down slant is necessary as I run the span from the new location to the current pipe? If it requires too much slant, I will have to elevate the tub or cut a channel in the concrete slab to allow for pipe clearance under it.
For a 1.5" drain, you can have 42" till the vent.
Re-venting should be a 6" above flood level of the fixture.
: 3. I am assuming that the venting is happening somwhere back in the wall, and I should not try to run a vertical pipe off the floor drain and run the span off of T. This seems like it could lead to an overflow if the jacuzzi were ever overfilled above the height of this "vent."
: 4. A bit of another topic: The hot & cold feeds seem to have two copper pipes apeice running into the slab, forming a loop. The feeds to the tub are then T'ed off the top of this loop to the faucet. Why would this be configured like this?
I would guess the water has other places to go. Remove the tee and you may not have water somewhere else. Terry

Great Shoe
"Such a cute shoe! Fits true to size, looks great with everything!"

"I seen these at the store and had to try them on. They were exactly what I was looking for! My only complaint is that the inside lining of the boot is a somewhat "stickier" material and when I have socks on my foot doesn't just slide right in, you have to work to get it in otherwise your sock just sticks to the lining. Other than that I would say that this is a good bootie and I get compliments on it all the time."

Tantowel Plus Full Body - 5 pack
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- About the brand
A revolution in self tanning, a natural looking tan with no orange streaks. tantowel Evolution Plus, a larger towelette for the total body self-tanning, is concentrated with a self-tan, formulated to give you a deeper darker tan with an even application for your entire body from head to toe. Odorless, colorless, no streaking and no fuss.
Water (Aqua), Ethoxydiglycol, Dihydroxyacetone, Butylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Polysorbate 20, Erythrulose, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Metabisulfite, Tetrasodium, EDTA, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance.
Application: Remove folded tantowel from foil; apply generously to the area you desire to tan. Keep towelette folded during initial application and continue to unfold during application. Tan will begin to appear within hours. Wash hands immediately after each application. Avoid contact with the eyes. To maintain your tan, re-apply as needed. Individual results may vary.
Created by Aussie Lori Braun, the TanTowel is the perfect single-use self-tanning towelette, designed to give you the perfect glow without UV exposure. This collection also features tanning mist and moisturizer. As seen in O, Lucky and Allure.
Tantowel Plus For African AmericansI am a fair skinned African American woman. I use the TanTowel on my legs and to even out my complexion across my shoulders and back when I am wearing strapless dresses or summer attire. I love them. The full body towellettes are large enough for me to use, ziploc and reuse a few days later when my skin starts to exfoliate and the tan starts to fade. And even the fading looks natural. This is the best thing Ive ever tried and who would have thought that a Black woman would need to tan!?!Now some days when my skin is really dry I do have to use one whole towel because my body sucks up all of the moisture but as long as I use a little bit of lotion on my palms before and keep that soapy towel on the counter to clean up on when Im done applying the towel, I am good to go. No orange or jaundice look AT ALL. This is wonderful. I highly recommend TanTowel to anyone who is concerned about skin cancer and wanting to take good care of their body. They even have smaller towels in case you just need a quick retouch or to cover your thighs for a cute lil mini!

"This combines with some sobering news from the EIA, which notes in its country field on Saudi Arabia, "One challenge the Saudis face in achieving their strategic vision to add production capacity is that their existing fields experience 6 to 8 percent annual decline rates on average in existing fields, meaning that the country needs around 700,000 bpd in additional capacity each year just to compensate for natural decline. Decline estimates for Saudi Arabia vary widely, however.
The Ministry of Petroleum maintains that decline rates in Saudi Arabia are around 2 percent annually. Saudi Aramco has stated that it will also conduct additional drilling at currently producing fields in order to help compensate for the natural declines from the mature fields."

Skip to comments.Bloomberg Hates Eric Holder's NYPD Federal Monitor, Calls It a "Terrible Idea"
Posted on 06/16/2013 11:46:41 AM PDT by nickcarraway
It comes as no surprise that controversy would ride the coattails of the news yesterday that Attorney General Eric Holder may suggest a federal monitor over the NYPD should stop-and-frisk be deemed unconstitutional in Floyd v. New York. Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly freaked out in a teleconference with Holder the other day when they heard about the Justice Department's proposal. And yesterday, at an unrelated press conference, the m ayor made his opposition to the proposal absolutely, 100 percent clear. Contrary to an inspector general--a City Council proposal in the Community Safety Act currently making its way through the legislature--a federal monitor would act as a measure of checks and balances for the municipal law enforcement agency. It would ensure that the boys in blue were respecting federal guidelines of civil rights in the wake of stop-and-frisk and Muslim surveillance controversies while the IG would simply be a watchman over police action and behavior.
By doing so, Thomas Perez, the assistant attorney general for civil rights of this nature who first phoned City Hall about the plans, argued that the monitor would "[improve] public confidence, [make] officers' jobs safer, and [increase] the ability of the department to fight crime." Bloomberg doesn't think so.
"We think that a monitor would be even more disruptive than an IG," the mayor said. "It's just a terrible idea and it's not needed. ... It just makes no sense whatsoever, when lives are on the line, to try to change the rules and hamper the police department from doing their job." For justification, Bloomberg, as per usual in his defense, pointed to low crime rates as evidence that the NYPD was doing just fine without oversight.
Yes, of course, crime rates have dropped way below Giuliani levels and the city is way safer off than it was in 2001--with migrations into once-crime-ridden areas like Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, it's hard to argue otherwise at this point. But that's not the issue here (and let's save the gentrification talk for another time).
The federal monitor isn't following statistics of success; it came from the last decade of controversy plaguing the NYPD. While crime has dropped tremendously, attention toward stop-and-frisk has increased to the point that the practice has found itself in federal court to determine whether or not the constitution allows for such a practice to exist in 2013. The specifically targeted surveillance of the Muslim community in a post-9/11 environment has also garnered lawsuits from the Justice Department based on its legality. And let us never forget the NYPD tapes exposed by fellow Voice scribe Graham Rayman.
So the focus here shouldn't be on track record, Mr. Mayor. To say "it just makes no sense whatsoever" disregards the notion that civil rights under Kelly's police force has seen a lot of shit over the past decade. People are questioning whether your seemingly unchecked police force is "phenomenally managed" and if its practices comply with the law, as you're "100 percent sure" they do. In a democracy, that discussion should be welcomed and, with a matter as important to our lives as law and order, encouraged.
Hey Dumbberg, we have this thing here called a constitution which as a bill of rights as its first ten amendments. There is a second amendment which you don't seem to recognize; a fourth amendment about something as silly as reasonable search. There is no amendment about stipulating what one can eat or drink albeit you seem to think there is. If you don't like it, run for mayor of Peking.
Probably the first time I've ever agreed with Bloomberg.
Lies....lies...lies....all lies.
A Federal Monitor's only true purpose from this AG is to completely remake policing in the image of every nutjob ACLU community organizing fool.
They think that placing the palm of you hand on the back of a person as you politely tell them they have to leave a place of business is "using force."
The changes created by a federal monitor will create more crime...more violent crime....more victims...more dead citizens....and more dead and injured cops.
Feuding nannies, someone call 'Nanny 911'! Need whaaambulance.
It's good for Bloomie to get personal experience with a dicktater other than hisself.
so let me get this straight,...
Holder wants to bypass a state government and put federal "minders" at local mayorial levels
what could go wrong?
A "Federal Minder" to tell them who they should be arresting, and on what charges, based on NSA wiretapping info.
Sounds lovely
They want to federalize everything
May Bloomturd have waves of Federal nannies following Fed decoys around NY making sure New Yorkers don't consume excessive amounts of policing.
lol so we already have brownshirts and now we'll have Commissars!
Look at Chicago where they don't do stop and search.
Bloomie is like 'Peanuts' Lucy van Pelt and there's room for only one fuss-budget boss-goose in NYC.
"Hey," to paraphrase apologists for the NSA spying program, "As long as you have nothing to hide, why would you object to warrantless searches?"
Bloomberg spends his career stepping on other peoples toes. Now the admin steps on his toes and Ouch!!!
Guess bloomberg bristles at the notion that he's not the Head Nanny in Charge. The irony is too sweet.
Here's the deal...as long as the cops just randomly pick anyone and frisk....there's no issue.
If you asked (if I were a cop)....I'd be frisking mostly all juveniles and people up to twenty-five years old, and mostly males. I'd be in trouble....but my statistics would show gun confiscation higher than the idiots were being random.
I don't like this Minder business at all, it only leads to trouble and injustice. But I love anything that pisses Bloomberg (and the idiots who voted for him) off. So I'm torn.
Yep. A real random frisk sounds like a waste of time.
If asked if they are 'profiling' young, minority males with jeans hanging off their ...es and 'tudes,
well, yeah, for the same reason Willie Sutton robbed banks: "Because that's where the money is."
That's where the 'evil' guns are.
A Federal Monitor's only true purpose from this AG is to completely remake policing in the image of every nutjob ACLU community organizing fool.
The key phrase in the story:
"...in the wake of stop-and-frisk and Muslim surveillance controversies..."
IT'S 0muslim's MULTI-PRONGED AGENDA OF PROMOTING THE subhuman, murderous, pigcrap islamist caliphate HERE IN AMERICA, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
He's got it well-underway in the Middle East, neutered/gutted/hollowed-out the US Military and is making sure it happens on the city streets, so we can't defend ourselves against another Ft Hood or Boston Marathon muslim terrorist attack.
This is the first time I've ever agreed with Bloom-Turd.S 0muslim
So insane I had to check to make sure this wasn't a semi satire thread. we live in scary, scary times.
The same Obama administration that refuses to monitor our borders so that criminals are practically invited to flood into our country, on the other hand is eager to monitor our police forces to ensure that once the criminals arrive here they'll have an easier time committing their crimes.
If Mayor Bloomberg is constantly vilified by New York City residents for not allowing them to buy such things as soft-drink bottles weighing more than 16 ounces, why are the same residents not also vilifying President Obama for not allowing them to have a fully functioning police force?
That's mostly what they frisk, and they do it in high crime aras so naturally the majority of these people will be "of color." Curiously, the law abiding residents (also "of color") of these areas love the program.
Nanny Bloomberg doesn't like being nannied.
Here is also the issue, if you don't suspect a person of anything you should have no power to stop and frisk them.
The fbi is still very much pi$$ed a Ray Kelly for stopping a terrorist attack in MYC that the feds were waiting to happen before they were going to do anything.
It's supposed to be an N.
The little runt is finally getting a taste of his own medicine.
