ok to clear this up...
original kakashi technique is called Chidori because when at high speed it makes the sound of a thousand birds with is what chidori means.
Raikiri is a more powerful and larger ranged chidori... thus it was renamed raikiri.. As mentioned before it has a different justsu classification because of the difference in power.
chidori original A
raikiri more powerful version S
which although both are elementaly the same one has more power than other.. which basicly makes it a different jutsu. like saying naruto's rasengan is the same as odomarasengan... they are different although both are rasengan just one is larger than the other.
another example... swords... a small sword is call a wakisashi,, a normal is katana and a very large is called great katana. they are all katanas but because they have different length and weight they have different names... so they are not the same

Hand Seals for Raikiri
Hand Seals for Chidori
The End
there is a difference because of power... like a gun.. different calibers different guns.. although in principal they are ALL guns...
just the fact that they are in a different jutsu class should clarify this issue
chidori = a
raikiri = s
chidori = a (what standard users get when using the move)
raikiri = s (what Kakashi get cuz he made the move and knows how to use it effectively)
BUT, it doesnt really matter...
Sasuke owns Kakashi in shape manipulation.
Sasuke made all those new moves using the principles of Chidori.
and now Sasuke can throw his chidori, make a chidori armor, use chidori through his blade, while Kakashi still have to run up to his target and thrust it in.
chidori = a
raikiri = s
Sasuke's new chidori based jutsu > Raikiri
maybe but I was making it clear that chidori is not the same as raikiri
we probally just refer 2 kakashis as lightning blade the english version 2 make it easier
nah.. this comes str8 from manga... Chidori and Raikiri are different ;p
ya.. the difference is what i mentioned.. the power and length

On a broad range of topics, it's time to act
Business Roundtable today released its recommendations to boost economic growth, "It's Time to Act for America's Future." BRT President John Engler briefed reporters on the policy document (audio of opening statement), and the follow-up questions ranged far and wide on topics of the day. News coverage ...
Roll Call, "Business Roundtable Head Says CEOs Will be Visible Lobbyists":
John Engler, president of the CEO lobby Business Roundtable, on Thursday offered his group's 2013 policy priorities, which he said could boost the economy. The roundtable will marshal its lobbying and communications resources to push its agenda, which includes a lower corporate tax rate, comprehensive immigration legislation and changes to entitlement programs, among other matters.
"If Congress and the administration embrace growth, we stand poised to not only revive the U.S. economy but to lead a global recovery," the former Michigan governor said.
Bloomberg, "Congressional Parents Protective of Tax Exemption 'Kids,' Engler Says":
John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable and a Republican former governor of Michigan, says he thinks Congress can find a way to lower the corporate tax rate to 25 percent without sacrificing revenue.
The problem: Getting members of Congress to let go of their 'kids."
Every tax deduction "has got a father or a mother over there in the Congress looking after their child," Engler said at a lunch today in Washington, where the association of chief executives of large corporations is based. "You've got to go round up all the kids here and see if there's enough to pay for it."
U.S. News and World Report, "Still Missing From Obama's Cabinet: Business Leaders"
"If we can talk to the guy who talks to the president, that's what is required," says John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs. "And there's a heckuva lot of communication going on right now."
- Washington Business Journal, "Business Roundtable chief John Engler sees 'little glimmers of hope' for growth agenda"
- MNI (Deutsche Boerse), "US Bus Roundtable Chief:Expects Sequester To Take Effect Mar 1"
- Politico, "Business group likes Pritzker, Zients for cabinet posts"
- The Hill (blog), "Roundtable chief: Obama might back move to territorial taxation"
- Reuters, "Obama might back territorial tax system: business chief"
On the issue of territorial taxation, Engler was responding to question on the President's views on comprehensive tax reform, discussed when Obama spoke to BRT CEOs in December:
Reporter: Did you hear anything from the administration in your contacts with them that would give you reason … ?
Engler: I would say the president impressed people on that in December, because he reaffirmed his support for corporate tax reform, and he was acknowledging the importance of dealing with the territorial system, which I think had been a little bit of a question as to where exactly they were. There were no specifics, but a favorable impression was left by the President on the comprehensive tax reform topic.
The White House sent an e-mail to Politico Pro afteward:
The president is eager to pursue corporate tax reform that lowers the rate, broadens the base, and incentivizes investment here at home, but does not believe that a pure territorial system is the best way to achieve this goal. The President looks forward to working with the business community, Democrats and Republicans to reform our corporate tax structure in a way that best helps American businesses compete globally.
OK, that's positive. At the same time, the Reuters story notes this:
Pam Olson, assistant treasury for tax policy under Republican President George W. Bush and now chief of PricewaterhouseCooper's Washington tax practice, said Obama's plan carefully opposed a "pure" territorial tax system, but left the door open for hybrid systems that might, for instance, exempt some but not all offshore profits from U.S. taxation.
"The use of the term 'pure' I think, was a signal that they were willing to consider it," Olson said.
Engler also appeared on CNBC's Street Signs programs to discuss the economic plan.
UPDATE (10:10 a.m. Friday): Valuable update from Politico Pro:
MORNING TAX FACTS OF LIFE: NO ONE WANTS A PURE SYSTEM. And there is a lot of room in that White House statement. Morning Tax's eyebrows are raised, as no one, not House Ways and Means Chairman David Camp or Senate Finance Ranking Member Orrin Hatch wants a purely territorial tax system. Are we seeing a change in the president's position? Maybe. Obama railed against a territorial tax system as recently as last year, but Business Roundtable President John Engler said the president acknowledged "the importance of dealing with the territorial system" in a December meeting with the business group. Another tipster — a K Street lobbyist working on tax issues — said in meetings with Treasury folks, they see a growing support for exempting most foreign-earned income from U.S. taxes. The main difference between the Republican proposal and the administration's position is numbers, our source said.

Group: Giverny
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Waterlilies
Date Made: 1914-17
Lender: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
In his large oil studies for the Grandes décorations Monet explored different effects of light on water and different compositions of waterlilies, reflections and willows, reeds, agapanthus and lilies. Photographs show that some of these were painted by the pool, whereas the large paintings were painted in the studio. Waterlilies was probably an early study, since it retains the foreground bank. The position of waterlily leaves is indicated by rapid loops of paint, augmented by rough patches, curls, and flecks of colour. The sudden gleam of reflected clouds is animated by huge, almost expressionistic, scrawls of paint. This vigorous calligraphy owes something to the speed of execution of large-scale Japanese brush painting, although oil paint allowed Monet to make changes, which sometimes obscured the earlier phases of painting, and sometimes revealed them as records of the way he thought himself into the motif.

Library Renovations Under Way
|As part of the renovation project, the fourth and fifth floors of the library will close tomorrow. File photo
Starting this month, Pius XII Memorial Library will undergo renovations to improve study space and Wi-Fi accessibility within the library, and address general maintenance issues. Renovations are expected to be completed in June.
Changes to Pius will include new seating and tables; new individual study carrels; upgrades to the existing Wi-Fi network and electrical system; construction of a new front entrance from the mall entrance from West Pine Mall on the south side; and installation of a new ceiling, lighting fixtures and flooring.
The project will be done in stages, with the demolition of the fourth and fifth floors beginning Tuesday, Jan. 31. There will no access to these floors during this phase for safety reasons.
Library patrons will still be able to access materials using a paging system, however, the process may take longer than normal. The library catalog will indicate if a book is located on a closed floor. If requested, library staff members will retrieve materials and inform patrons via email when they are ready for pick up at the circulation desk.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
David Turner is headed back to Starkville.
Mississippi State hired Turner to be its defensive line coach on Wednesday. Just three years ago, the longtime assistant left MSU after serving in the same role from 2007-09.
Turner was hired by Sylvester Croom and stayed on through Dan Mullen's first season. He then left for Kentucky, serving as defensive line coach and assistant head coach under Joker Phillips.
After Phillips was fired following a 2-10 season, Turner was out of a job because new coach Mark Stoops cleaned house.
"There are just good people at Mississippi State, and I love the kids there," Turner said in an interview with Bulldawgs247, which first reported the hiring. "All of that played a big factor.
"It is never an easy decision to move again with your family, especially as your kids get older. But going back to a very comfortable place definitely helped that situation."
Turner did not return messages left by the Daily Journal seeking comment.
He was hired five days after Geoff Collins was promoted from co-defensive coordinator to defensive coordinator. That spelled the end of Chris Wilson's two-year run as DC, and that departure also meant there was an opening for defensive line coach.
Wilson was officially announced as Georgia's new defensive line coach on Wednesday.
Recruiting strength
Turner brings strong recruiting connections to MSU, and he helped bring in current NFLers Fletcher Cox and Pernell McPhee. He'll have a deep group to work with upon arrival.
Turner has coached defensive linemen at Alabama, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Virginia and N.C. State, and he was also recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt from 2002-05.
He's also held positions at Indiana (Pa.) and Davidson.
MSU is still seeking a replacement for cornerbacks coach Melvin Smith, who left on Christmas Day for the same position at Auburn.

Pretty good episode. I swear Byakuya and Zaraki should work as a serious team, their interaction with each other is always priceless. Urahara is the man. The Ending made me miss my boy Shinji. He was a badass Captain being able to still fight while going through the process of being hollowfied, everyone else was passed out or in too much pain to move.

I remember saying that hollow ichigo had a very short appearance in the movie.
I stand corrected, this is fucking ridiculous, we don't get to see shit.
I like seeing Ichigo's Hollow mode but this big bulky slow version is wakk, if he fights Kageroza I hope he goes version 2.
Kageroza+Nozomi can copy attacks and even absorb reiatsu attacks and fire back but the version two hollow has Sonido and his physical strength is monstrous and his also smart enough to create diversions.
Can someone explain me why isn't there any Yoruichi reigai, while Urahara gets to fight his?
Wow i miss Shinji and the other vizards:/

When launching a SCORM course, it can not always find the API causing lost data and errors. Recommend putting a test for the API existing prior to launching the SCORM course.

Hi Ron,
we haven't seen this behavior with the latest code - can you please provide more information on how to reproduce it? - what exact version of 1.9.2 have you tested this with? - also - can you please provide more information on the "errors" you receive - screenshots would also help.
Hi Dan,
Last week we installed the weekly build 20080820 for 1.9.2 and still see this behavior.
The only errors we see are from the SCORM applications we are attempting to run as they can not find the API.
We are running on a hosted server. Not sure if it will be helpful or not, I attached the PHP Info so you have all the version information.
in both 1.9.1 and in this latest build we found that upon entering a SCO the API could not be found. This occurs both when running in a new window and when embedded. In the case of a new window, if we close the SCO window then refresh the player page, when the SCO is launched again it can then find the API. For the embedded version we just refresh the page and the SCO will then find the API when starting.
We assume that the new countdown timer when launching a SCO was inserted as a fix for this behavior. If you can provide where the value for the length of time to wait is, we can adjust it to see if that corrects the problem.
Hi Ron,
the delay has always been there, but Piers has now added a timer so that users aren't just presented with a blank screen during the delay.
you can increase the delay via line 9 of mod/scorm/loadsco.php currently:
$delayseconds = 2;
let us know how you go!
Hi Dan,
We have only tested with IE 6 on Windows XP thus far. Here is what we have noticed:
1. No error messages from Moodle
2. The player.php page that is loading the API does not complete prior to loading loadsco.php
3. The SCO can not find the API
4. Increasing the wait time does not help
5. If we close the course and exit the activity, then attempt to enter the activity again the issue still occurs
6. If we close the course and just reload the player.php page, when the SCO loads it finds the API and it can initialize it.
Hi Ron,
can you please provide a scorm object that would allow us to reproduce this?
via e-mail is fine.
Hi Dan,
I am e-mailing you a diagnostic SCO and Fiddler session information.
Hi Ron,
using the object you sent through, I cannot reproduce this issue with the latest 1.9stable. please try again using todays weekly build (should be out in an hour or so.)
Hi Dan,
I upgraded to the latest weekly install and still see the same thing. Upon load of the player.php not all includes are being requested and loaded. Still need to do a refresh on player.php.
hmm... well normally these Can't find API errors are related to JS errors.
1st - can you please turn developer debug on, and run your scorm object - then paste the results of the logging window here. - We especially want to see if Anything is logged in the logging screen when/before you get the API error.
Could you also turn JS debugging on in IE, and let us know if/what errors appear?
Ideally it would be great if you could try and reproduce this in Firefox with something like Firebug and let us know what JS erros appear on the console.
Hi Dan,
I turned on developer debug and I always have JS debugging on in IE. I launched the SCO in IE and it still can not find the API. There are no JS errors and the Moodle logs did not show any errors.
I then tried using FireFox and there are no problems with either 2 or 3. So this issue is only with IE as far as we can determine.
Based on the http requests that are captured in Fiddler, it looks as if some of the request for file includes never occur on the first load.
I can attest to this issue as I am experiencing it, too! Using 1.9+ (20080328). SCORM 1.2 packages, uploaded from within Moodle, with the .zip archive chosen. Same issue as above: Using IE6, it gives an error message "Unable to load SCO API". Reloading the page causes the SCORM package to be displayed normally.
A log of the error results printed after receiving "Error - unable to acquire LMS API, content may not play properly and results may not be recorded. Please contact technical support."
Hi Jeremy, 20080328 is quite old in terms of the bugs fixed in SCORM since then, please upgrade to the latest version of 1.9Stable and you will probably find it works for you.
...In fact I think we've fixed over 50 bugs in scorm since that date.
Hi Dan,
We are still experiencing the issue with IE and the latest build. We have tested this on several computers and from multiple ISP connections. Using Firefox either version 2 or 3 on the same computer does not have the issue. It appears to be IE specific.
Where you able to open the session information from Fiddler that showed the http requests/responses for when it fails versus when it works for IE? Is there anything else we can provide to help track down what is causing the issue?
PS We are interested to see if Jeremy still has the same issue after upgrading.
Hi Ron, neither Piers or I have had time this week to look at this further - you could try resetting all IE's settings to default to see if that makes any difference. - make sure you turn error reporting/JS debugging on after resetting defaults.
Though I have an older version of Moodle, SCORM-related functionality has worked surprisingly well. I think ADL-compliant SCORM packages are the first line of defense against issues.
I would love to upgrade; I've been under the impression that it's difficult if you are running a production server with essential custom code. If anyone knows how to upgrade while maintaining code and language modifications, please message me or point me to some links to read up on this.
The fact that Ron is still having this issue with a more-recent version ofmoodle (and the SCORM module) makes me wonder if any of those 50+ fixes are connected to the LMS - API communication. Dan, which specific patches are related/connected to LMS API communication and might go toward solving this issue?
This forum discussion might shed some light on the origins of this bug: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=69384 - Thomas says it happens to him when he updates an existing SCORM package with a SCORM package containing modifications. Ron, are you updating existing SCORM packages?
This would make sense in my usage, as I didn't experience this problem until I started using Moodle's built-in update feature. Before that I would upload a file via FTP and then to update the SCORM module, I would choose a different SCORM .zip (to clear out moddata of any remnants), save changes, and choose the updated SCORM that I just uploaded, and save changes again. Essentially the SCORM would be like it was newly-installed following this procedure, and I didn't run into these issues. However, it would also wipe out the SCORM tracking data, which is why I started using Moodle's SCORM update feature.
By the way, I tried Thomas' method of unzipping the SCORM and overwriting all the files for it in moddata and it didn't work for me. Might be worth a try for Ron, though
I'm going to dive in here and see if I can't make some kind of ad-hoc patch. Dan, could you tell me the commands that SCORM uses to load the LMS API? Does the location of the API differ between browsers? Any other info you could provide about SOCRM loading the API from the LMS (moodle) would be greatly appreciated.
This is the JavaScript that is connected to the error log I uploaded previously. The script is searching through various locations to find the LMS API. It looks through parents and children of the document.
AHA! Now we're getting somewhere. Here is an old discussion from the forum that captures the problem perfectly: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=44775 . It looks like this has been an issue for a while - it's intermittent for some people and nonexistent for others. Apparently the content is getting loaded before the API, which is why a reload works. Have any of the possible solutions in the thread been discussed and/or implemented?
Dan - We will setup a computer with a clean install of IE 6 without any Browser add-ons and no Internet Security software to see if that makes a difference.
Jeremy - This problem exists for all SCORM courses at first installation and with updates. To determine if your issue is identical try installing Fiddler (http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/). Navigate to the course and just before launching the SCO start Fiddler monitoring the connection. Then exit the SCO and reload the page. When we do this Fiddler shows several more files being requested and received upon reload as compared to the first launch.
It appears that some files do not get requested prior to some segment of code gets executed that cancels the request. Depending on how the test with a clean install of IE 6, this may require a complete trace of the code as it loads to locate this issue. We just can't spare the resources right now to do this ourselves.
Hi Jeremy, a range of related issues that return this particular error have been fixed in the latest code. - most of the time when the API cannot be found it is because of a Javascript error. - a lot of fixes have gone in, so it's difficult to isolate which ones could solve your particular issue. - We have had trouble reproducing the specific issue Ron is experiencing, but haven't had time over the past couple of weeks to look into it further.
the site Demo.moodle.org is using a later version of code - you could try testing out your scorm objects there - let us know if you manage to reproduce it there.
Thank you for the alternative to immediately upgrading - I tried the demo site and was able to reproduce the issue. IE6 produces the error, but firefox doesn't. I am including my test scorm file.
Sort of good news.
While using Fiddler to try and get more detail of the raw data that was coming down we turned of encoding so everything would come down without compression. This seemed to correct the issue. We then examined the configuration of PHP and found that zlib.output_compression was set to be on. We turned that off and now IE 6 is working correctly and finding the SCO every time.
We don't understand why the issue only occured with IE 6 and not IE 7 or any other browser we tried. The fresh install of IE 6 did work. Perhaps there is a Microsoft Update for IE 6 that broke it's ability to properly uncompress files and that is why the fresh install of IE 6 works.
For now we will leave the zlib compression turned off.
Hi Ron,
thanks for posting the details. - Unfortunately as this is an IE/PHP related bug theres nothing we can do inside moodle to address this.
I found this issue in the php tracker - looks like the php team aren't keen to address this in PHP either:
so looks like you'll just need to leave zlib compression off.
changed my mind on the status for now...... - we might be able to add a check to the environment page warning about this...maybe?
adding Petr to this bug..... Petr - what do you think about putting a check in scorm to see if zlib.output_compression is turned on and if the client browser is IE6 then attempting to use something like ini_set() to turn it off?
Hi Kris,
a range of other related issues have already been fixed in the past few months, please make sure you are using the latest 1.9weekly or 1.8weekly available from download.moodle.org
Count me in as one experiencing this problem. It happens with Firefox (Windows or Mac) and IE7. I experience this problem any time that I change my SCORM package on the Classroom Revolution site. The only "fix" is to delete and re-create the SCORM activity. Of course, this loses all user history.
Hi Tucson - what version of Moodle are you using? - if you're not using Moodle 1.9.3 or higher, please upgrade and re-test.
have to admit, I feel a bit like a broken record.....
a range of posts in the scorm forum, and even in this bug it states "a range of related issues that return this particular error have been fixed in the latest code" - I say something to that affect more than once in the comments above.
the only outstanding issue that I'm aware of is realated to a bug with IE6 - not a bug with Moodle related to when Zlib compression is turned on. Which is what this particular bug is about.- see above for details.
Moodle 1.9.3 has a massive range of fixes related to Scorm. Piers and I spent a lot of time on it. let me say it again. Please upgrade to 1.9.3
Upgraded to 1.9.3+ (Build: 20081022.) I still have the problem. No change.
By the way, the problem occurs with Firefox 3.0.3 (on Mac 10.5.5 and Windows XP SP3,) IE7 7.0.5730.13 (Windows XP SP3.) Also, it goes without saying, the work you and Piers put in on this is greatly appreciated.
Tom, if you refresh the browser, does it then load? If so, based on what I went through and finally tracked it down to zlib compression, you may want to examine your server configuration. Are you using any type of compression or encoding? Are you using a PHP Accelerator?
I tried refreshing the browser, deleting the caches, etc., but the results are the same. I need to ask Classroom revolution tech support about the PHP accelerator. I'll let you know.
Id try using your scorm object on demo.moodle.org to see if it's an issue there. Most of these types of issues are related to a JS error - make sure your browsers have full debug on and look for any JS errors, and make sure you aren't blocking js etc
Tom is on one of my servers and I do not have zlib compression on, nor am I running any accelerators.
please test your scorm object on a different server - eg demo.moodle.org if you are able to reproduce it, then please provide a copy of a scorm object that allows us to reproduce it - preferably by adding it to the scorm repository.
after thinking on this some more and looking at the range of people reporting issues when attempting to use ini_set with zlib - I've decided to add a warning to the screen when a teacher creates a new SCORM object - currently the warning states "Warning: PHP Zlib compression has been enabled on this site, some users may experience issues loading SCORM objects in certain web browsers."
I've added this to 2.0 and will look at putting it in 1.9 after the weekly review.
I'll create a new item in the SCORM faqs for it as well.
closing this as fixed - I've pushed changes through to 1.9stable and HEAD that provide a warning to teachers when they create a SCORM object when zlib is turned on, Any other issues with finding the API are likely to be different and should be in a different tracker issue.
I am having the same issue with users on IE6 and zlib_compression set to Off. Further examination of response headers showed that mod_deflate was actually compressing output. Turning off compression at the server level may be another place to look (and moodle will not warn if the web server is compressing the data).
I'm awaiting results from IE6 users to see if this has corrected the issue.
Same issue as Paul,
To desactivate mod_deflate only for IE6 and api.php i've put this .htaccess in /mod/scorm/ directory
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "api\.php">
BrowserMatch "\bMSI[E] (6)" no-gzip
thanks Valerian - useful information above for others with the issue, but I don't plan to include this change in core - we no longer support IE 6 as of Moodle 2.0!
I got as far as zlib_compression set to Off in IE6 and still get the API error. (everything is okay in FireFox)
Can you help me. How can I put the fix
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "api\.php">
BrowserMatch "\bMSI[E] (6)" no-gzip
on a windows PC without an .htaccess file?
you can probably make the change in your sitewide php.ini - but you should really upgrade your web-browser - Moodle 2.0 and even google don't support IE 6 anymore.
Dan - Thanks
Unfortunately, many of our public organisation is stuck with IE6 for a while - for a number of reasons.
I'll try the php.ini route.
However, I did notice that if I close the SCORM window and then refresh the player page it finds the API and the relaunched package plays and tracks properly. Is there a way to automatically refresh the player page?
Hi Michael - automatically refreshing the page could cause other issues - you're best to disable zlib compression.
Hi all,
I m getting the error "Unable to find API Adapter","Unable to locate the LMS's API Implementation" while accessing the scorm packages.
I have two server machine in which same version of xampp1.7.1 and same version of moodle1.9.3+ is installed. 1st server machine is used in the local LAN while the other server machine has public ip accessible from anywhere.
When I access scorm from 1st server machine it does'nt give any error but when I access the scorm from 2nd server machine it give java script alerts "Unable to find API adapter", "Unable to locate the LMS's API Implementation", "to deeply nested" etc..
I don't know which server configuration setting is preventing JS communication..
Manish - 1.9.3 is no longer supported - there are a range of SCORM and security issues. Please upgrade your site to the latest 1.9Stable branch.
We are using Moodle 1.9.9+ (Build: 20100929) and we are experiencing this exact problem. The first time the SCORM content is launched, the API returns null. If you exit the SCORM content and relaunch it finds the API successfully. It says here that this was corrected in 1.94. Can someone let me know what was done to correct this problem, or supply any further info to assist? Thanks in advance.

Skip to comments.EXCLUSIVE: Man Arrested For Extortion Lived With Woman Who Slept With Letterman
Posted on 10/01/2009 11:46:45 PM PDT by james500
An NYPD source has told RadarOnline.com that the suspect under arrest in the David Letterman extortion case was a producer for CBSs 48 Hours, Robert Halderman. Halderman often went by his middle name Joe and currently has a residence in Connecticut.
A source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that Letterman met with Halderman several times as part of the police operation leading to the arrest.
RadarOnline.com has also learned that the alleged extortionist lived with the woman who David was involved with.
(Excerpt) Read more at radaronline.com ...
This gets better. A twofer!
CBS News scrapes the bottom of the barrel.
(making face) Did he wear a bag over his head?? ugh!
How predictable.
Letterman is scum of the earth. He's up there everynight pronouncing sentence on others while he is engaged in his own little harum of sex.
How phony can you get?
What's the point of being rich and famous if you can't have sex with your employees? Heck, isn't that why they're called 'underlings'?
Where can I send bail money?
Perfect !
No wonder Letterman was so comfortable with Bill Clinton the other week.
They both have a common "hobby."
Can we get Roman Polanski on video defending Letterman?
Roman Polanski said that he wouldn't go there.
This guy will probably make more money off a book than the $2 mil he was trying to get from littleman.
That was basically my 78 yr. old mother's comment, who would want him!
If she is one of the girls he slept with it doesn't surprise me. Long time ago, when I used to watch, he used her for goofy skits and stuff.
So that means she was in her early-mid twenties and he was in his fifties! Ewww. What's the matter w/ her? What must her father think?
Couldn't happen to a more miserable human being! I vowed never to watch this scumbag Letterman again after his vile comments about Sarah Palin's daughter.
I make sure no one in my house watches that scum and I hope many others have done the same.
You are funny!
Ditto that.
We always knew Letterman was creepy. Guess the losers who thought his jokes about Sarah's little girl was just sooo funny are laughing now too???
Eww. Was it worth it, Dave? Maybe I should ask you after your divorce is wound up.
How typically liberal. "Joke" about others done unto them while you're out doing unto others things even worse. At-a boy, Dave.
Amen! He needs to go away, his schtick is so tired and burnt. I can't believe people actually watch it. Personally i'd rather watch a car rust.
Speaking of which, what ever happened to feminists being outraged by an employer sleeping with an employee? Or did that all go by the wayside after the Lewinsky affair? What luck for Letterman that he came out as a raging lefty when he did, that should give him enough cover for whatever might be uncovered. A conservative Letterman? He'd be toast within days if not hours. Not to mention ol' Letterman wouldn't have been as desirable to the cute little liberal underlings that populate the entertainment industry if he leaned to the right. But the liberal Letterman? By the time the media is done spinning things people will end up feeling sorry for him and he'll be turned into a hero because he did it (standing up to the blackmailer, i mean) for his family's sake.
I have questions. Were the people involved terminated/resigned. Did they have a choice or was Dave blackmailing them to keep their jobs?
I imagine that show must be a miserable place for a woman to work. That creep probably is always sneaking a feel and making sick remarks and smirking cause he thinks he's so special.
Hey, this was not an extortion-extortion!!!
Nope. That is an "upgrade" from his wife. See below.
Excellent questions; excellent points.

West residents make their way back to the blast zone
Updated 1:21 am, Sunday, April 21, 2013
WEST — Cars stretched for almost a mile Saturday at Reagan and Tokio streets, the meeting place for neighbors living near the West Fertilizer Co., who hoped to see home for the first time since Wednesday's massive explosion at the plant.
The blast ripped through five city blocks, including a nursing home and intermediate school, and destroyed 50 to 60 homes, officials said. Fifteen have been reported dead and nearly 200 injured.
Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went block by block along the outermost perimeter of the blast zone. Once the area was fully examined and deemed safe, residents started to trickle back in.
Access came with restrictions.
The first phase of re-entry Saturday was only for those who lived in the outer blast zone, farthest from the plant. Only two vehicles were allowed at each residence and they could be no bigger than a pickup. They would be allowed to move freely from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and a curfew would be strictly enforced, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Vanek said.

Plato once taught me, that we should find our way out of 'the Cave' of ignorance and to enjoy the real side of enlightenment. But now that we are out/closeted, what do we do now?

Risk Management Tools Help Farmers Create a More Environmentally Sustainable Future
American producers know that crop insurance is a proven tool for managing the risks of farming. But many folks may not be aware that it also promotes sound practices that encourage environmental sustainability.
One of the primary reasons the Federal crop insurance program is good for conservation is that it requires producers to exercise good farming practices in order to be eligible for coverage. Good farming practices vary from crop to crop and from region to region, but follow the principle that the farming practices carried out are considered prudent and responsible by local extension agents and certified crop consultants. And this means planning for the long-term future, not just the current crop year. Read more »

Gaumont-Casias' return sparks Canadians to victory and first place at international men's volleyball tournament
PARNU, Estonia – Alexandre Gaumont-Casias of Marieville, Que., made an impressive return to the men's national volleyball team on Sunday as he led Canada to a 25-21, 26-24, 19-25, 23-25, 15-11 victory over Estonia and first place at the four-country Parnu International Cup.
Gaumont-Casias, who missed the Pan Am Cup and first round of World League qualifying this season due to shoulder surgery this past spring, accounted for 18 points for Canada with 14 kills, two aces and two blocks.
That's big news for Canadian squad heading into the second and final round World League qualifying series against Puerto Rico August 20-21 in Kingston, Ont.
Gaumont-Casias stepped in for high scoring Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon who was unable to play Sunday due to a neck injury.
'' Alex did the job as an opposite,'' said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. ''We needed to win two sets to secure first place. The guys were focused right through because the Estonians served hard all game long.''
Toon Van Lankvelt of River, Man., added 14 points, Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., 12, Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., and Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., 11 each and Fred Winters of Victoria eight.
Setter Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., was named the tournament MVP
Hoag also inserted some of his younger players such as Perrin and Justin Duff of Winnipeg in the third set.
''We struggled with our reception as Estonia played without pressure but we fought all match long,'' Hoag said. ''The fifth set was really good for us as we regained our focus and our block defence was really efficient.''
Canada went 3-0 in the weekend tourney defeating Turkey in straight sets Saturday and Latvia in four on Friday. The Canadian team returns home Monday to its training base in Gatineau, Que.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Last Tuesday night, the Emery High Spartans boy's basketball team played Beaver High School in Castle Dale and lost a close game at the buzzer 45-43.
The Spartans were looking for their second victory of the year with the Beavers in town but were narrowly denied the win. After falling behind early, Emery fought all game long to narrow the gap and finally did so with two minutes and 15 seconds left in the game.
At the 2:15 mark Brendon Jorgensen scored giving Emery their first lead of the game. With the basket, Emery led 42-41. Emery then extended the lead to 43-41 with a Bailey Faimalo free throw only to see the Beavers score the final four points of the contest to grab the win.
With the game tied at 43-43, Beaver had the ball and got a shot with about seven seconds left in the game. The shot missed, Beaver got the rebound, which quickly went back up, Beaver missed again and the Beavers got another offensive rebound and this time the wild shot fell through just as the buzzer sounded and Emery suffered another loss.
Emery fell behind 4-0 to start the game and eventually trailed 16-6 after the first quarter. Emery was outscored 7-6 in the second period and trailed by 11 points at the half. Emery narrowed the differential to 10 points by winning the third quarter 13-12.
Emery opened the final period on a 7-0 run to narrow the Beaver lead to three points. Beaver held off the Spartans during the next three minutes until Emery finally took the lead with Jorgensen's three-pointer.
Emery had opportunity in the game to have a bigger lead. Emery shot 59 percent from the free throw line in the game as they went 16 for 27. The Spartans were seven for nine in the final quarter from the free throw line. In the first three periods the Spartans were nine for 18 including a pair of missed free throws to start the second half after Beaver got a technical foul during warm-ups.
Dallon Cologie scored 11 points to lead the Spartans in this game and also dished out three assists. Jorgensen finished the game with nine points while pulling down two rebounds. Faimalo scored eight points, dished out three assists and pulled down two rebounds.
Jordan Cox scored five points while leading the team with eight rebounds. Dawson Jensen scored five points and had six rebounds. Logan Tuttle had five rebounds and scored two points. Curtis Mason hit a 3-pointer for his only points in the game.
After starting the basketball season 4-0, the Manti Templars boy's basketball team had lost three games in a row and was looking to change their luck when they faced the Emery Spartans in Castle Dale just before the New Year started. Emery, on the other hand, had only two wins in the young season but had played several other games close and the Spartans were looking to add their third victory of the season. Emery prevailed at the end though as the Spartans sent the Templars home with a two-point loss 54-52.
Emery started off slow in the game, going down 5-0 to start. The Spartans fought back to tie the score at 5-5 only to then allow the Templars to score the next eight points to lead 13-5. Baskets by Jordan Cox and David Dyer at the end of the first period allowed Emery to trail only 13-9 after the first period.
Manti scored the first four points of the second quarter before Emery's Brendon Jorgensen nailed a shot with two minutes gone in the period. Emery narrowed the deficit to two points twice in the period. Logan Tuttle hit a shot to narrow the score to 21-19 with 2:10 left and then Tuttle went one for two at the free throw line to cut the score to 25-23. Emery missed a pair of free throws with a second left on the clock that could have tied the score at the half.
Manti scored the first nine points of the second half as Emery missed everything they shot until Dallon Cologie went one for two at the line. With that free throw, Emery started a 10-0 run to narrow the gap to 34-33 with less than a minute left in the quarter. After Cologie's free throw, Dawson Jensen hit a basket, Cologie hit a three-pointer, Cox went one for two at the line and Jorgensen then hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap. Manti hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to lead 37-33 after three quarters.
Emery tied the score in the fourth quarter at the 6:14 mark when Emery hit four straight free throws. Tuttle was fouled putting up a shot and after the call; the Manti coach was called for a technical foul after being way out on the floor. Tuttle hit both of his free throws and then Jorgensen stepped up and hit another pair and Emery and Manti were tied at 42-42.
With Emery having possession after the technical, the Spartans turned the ball over and Manti quickly scored at the other end to regain the lead. Manti then hit a three and the Templars were up 47-42 just like that and it appeared that the Spartan's luck had run out.
Baskets by Tuttle and Bailey Faimalo narrowed the score to 48-47 and Cox then scored to give Emery their first lead of the game with 2:50 left in regulation. Manti scored the next four points to lead 52-49. With 43 seconds remaining in the game, Cologie went to the free throw line and made one of two shots to narrow the deficit to two points. When Emery got the ball back after a missed shot, Brendon Jorgensen capped of his 13-point night by hitting a three pointer to give Emery the lead at 53-52.
Jordan Cox took a hard offensive foul at the other end, it left him coming out of the game with blood flowing from his nose, to stop a Manti basket and then Jorgensen hit a free throw to get to the final score of 54-52.
Emery went 14 for 29 in the final three quarters of the game from the free throw line after starting the game going four for four in the first quarter.
Dallon Cologie led the way with 15 points followed by Jorgensen. Tuttle finished with 10 points, Cox scored 5 points, Faimalo and Mason each hit a three, Jensen and Dyer scored two each and Corbin Barnett added a free throw.
Emery now travels to Union this Wednesday night and then will travel to South Sevier to play one of the premier teams in 2-A basketball and the reigning 2-A state champion. Emery will host Carbon on Saturday night.

Chapter 22
Jehoshaphat of Judah and Ahab of Israel join forces against Syria—Ahab's prophets foretell success—Micaiah foretells the defeat and death of Ahab—Ahab is slain and dogs lick up his blood—Jehoshaphat reigns in righteousness in Judah—Ahaziah reigns in Israel and serves Baal.
1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a
11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the king's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.
15 ¶So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord?
17 And he said, I saw all Israel
18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a
24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee?
25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel
35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was
36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
37 ¶So the king
38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the Lord which he spake.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
41 ¶And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 And the remnant of the

48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at
49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 ¶And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
51 ¶Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.

BLM Mojave-Southern Great Basin RAC Planning Subcommittee to Meet
Ely, Nev. – The Mojave-Southern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council (RAC) planning subcommittee will meet at 10 a.m., Wednesday, May 1, at the BLM Southern Nevada District Office, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Dr., in Las Vegas, Nev.
The RAC advises and makes recommendations to the BLM on public land management. The Planning Subcommittee makes recommendations to the RAC on planning issues. Discussion items will include, but are not limited to, the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan Revision and Environmental Impact Statement, the Nellis Encroachment Study, illegal target shooting, and developing recommendations for Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Round 14 projects. The meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity to make comments to the citizen-based council. A public comment period is scheduled at 11:30 a.m.
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in planning and discussion of issues related to management of BLM-administered public lands. The Mojave-Southern Great Basin RAC is one of three such councils in Nevada that accommodate this community participation directive. Represented on the council are commercial and non-commercial users including environmental, livestock, mining, Native American, and wild horse and burro interests and elected officials and state agencies.
For more information, contact Chris Hanefeld, BLM Ely District Office public affairs specialist, at (775) 289-1842 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Land Warrior II Airsoft
RAP4 is proud to introduce the Land Warrior II digital video recorder - your best solution for capturing game footage, intelligence, and showing the world why you love airsoft.
Designed from the circuit boards up as a combat camera, the Land Warrior II is a rugged, weather-resistant, shock-resistant recorder designed to serve you on the battlefield. The housing resists dust and moisture, four different mounting
solutions come in the box, and the included rechargeable batteries will record for three continuous hours before needing to be rotated onto the included recharger.
The Land Warrior II records high resolution mpeg4 video at 30 frames per second, at 720x480 resolution. It takes still .jpg photos as well, or you can stop the video and scroll a frame at a time to watch your BBs arc right in on your
target. Prove you blew the base; prove you took the shot; show the world how you won the game. They'll believe it when they see your high-res video and hear the crystal-clear audio.
For practical reconnaissance, mount the Land Warrior II to your RIS rails and scout their base. Then withdraw to the friendly side of the field, and show your squad exactly what they're up against. Satisfy intelligence gathering missions
with the Land Warrior II...or just get the info back to your commander so your team can adapt and overcome to battlefield conditions as they develop. The control buttons are intuitive, and mounted so you can control the camera without
taking your eyes off the game.
The Land Warrior II has a 1.5" TFT screen for instant playback, and even has a built in speaker to bring the audio to life as well, right there on the recorder. When you have a bigger screen at your disposal, use the included video-out
cable to attach directly to a TV, or the USB cable to hook right into a computer. Play or download the files; edit them into exactly what you want to show the world...then share them online.
Each Land Warrior II ships with airsoft-ready mounting solutions, so you can mount the recorder directly to your helmet, RIS rails, barrel, handlebars of your bicycle or ATV...or use the recorder handheld. This versatility empowers you
to use the Land Warrior II in the most convenient manner for exactly the footage you want, in the mission you need to complete.
Don't just tell stories...play the footage you captured at the peak of battle, with the RAP4 Land Warrior II. RAP4 - As Real as it Gets!

Product Details
Coolaroo Solar Outdoor Shades shield patios and windows from the heat of the sun. Their ability to block UV rays helps protect your furniture and floors, cool off your home and convert outdoor patios into livable spaces—even during the hottest of months. These exterior shades are available in a beautiful array of textured solids and patterns of various scales. A light-filtering knit or woven fabric construction enables them to significantly reduce glare without darkening a room's interior.
Coolaroo Solar Outdoor Shades are built to withstand the elements. They are made from weather-resistant fabric and components, which make them fade, mold and mildew resistant, as well as easy to clean. A smooth-action roller-clutch mechanism gives them a smooth, even roll. Color-matched cords standard.
Install Time: 20-25 minutes
We Recommend:
Choose from a crank lift or a continuous cord loop for easier operation.
Shades are available as both wall and ceiling mounts. Stainless steel tie-downs help secure the shade in position.
Double cooling factor that allows air to flow while providing superior UV protection makes this shade great for windows that receive afternoon sun.
If you would like your shade's fabric to feed off the front of the roll rather than from the back, be sure to specify a reverse roll, available at no extra charge.
If you plan on installing your shade between 2 vertical posts, you will need to deduct at least 1/8" off your measurement.
Patterns run vertically unless a shade's length is over 96". If a shade's length is over 96", the pattern's direction will be horizontal.
Roller tube will be exposed 1/4" to 1/2" to prevent material from telescoping.

If you run into difficulties to set up your environment, you can contact me for assistance. I offer consulting services not only for Indigo Rose products, but naturally for my own software as well.
Please remember that you need to request a trial license file for the PHP files. In your message, do not forget to mention the domain name (or the full URL) where the system was installed.
If you wish, the system can be tailored further to fit your specific needs. I can provide you with a custom solution at my normal consulting rate. Please contact me for details.
Source code
The PHP source code can be made available for an additional fee, if you prefer to work with uncompiled files or are using a different PHP accelerator in your company than what was used.

Don't say I didn't warn you - as noted on Monday, it's been a busy week of public appearances for Catherine of William. Today she was in Newcastle Upon Tyne to tour through a community garden and visits with students at Percy Hedley school where she participated in a ball-throwing exercise.
As you can see, for the second time this week, Mrs Cambridge is wearing the new black. Is it already out of style if the Middletons are all over it? Next week, you'll see Pippa in burgundy. See you later, burgundy.
What's next: tomorrow night, evening wear. There's a dinner gala. We'll see if the Princess goes back to Jenny Packham.

If the lineup and free entry didn't give you some movement in the lumber yard, how about an open bar from doors until close? Yep, it's happening.
RSVP is required for entry. Just sign up HERE and arrive early!
