Of all the sterling qualities St. John's IceCaps goaltender Michael Hutchinson has displayed this season, maybe the most impressive has been his ability to bounce back from losses and mediocre showings.
That was never more evident than on Monday night in Cedar Park, Tex., where Hutchinson made 49 saves as the IceCaps edged the Texas Stars 2-1, tying their American Hockey League Calder Cup final at a game apiece.
Statistically, it equalled Hutchinson's best-ever performance as a pro — he also allowed just one goal on 50 shots in a February win over the Worcester Sharks — but in reality, given the circumstances, this had to be the game of his career for the 23-year-old.
With the best-of-seven matchup headed back to St. John's for the next three games, starting Wednesday night at Mile One Centre, the IceCaps now own home-ice advantage in the series. And for that, they can thank Hutchinson and his resilient nature.
On Sunday, Hutchinson had given up five goals on just 22 shots — including three goals on four shots in the second period — as Texas won the series opener 6-3. It was his poorest start in 17 playoff games this spring, but St. John's head coach Keith McCambridge refused to blame Hutchinson, instead citing overall shoddy team defence for the result.
It may have been that McCambridge was looking to maintain his netminder's confidence, but it's likely the coach knew better than that. Because, as an IceCap, Hutchinson has made a habit of turning in a great effort after a so-so one.
On seven occasions during the 2013-14 AHL season — including twice in these playoffs — Hutchinson has allowed four or more goals in a game. In the follow-up starts to each of those contests, he not only produced wins for the IceCaps, but proved remarkably stingy in doing so.
Listed chronologically, here are the number of goals he allowed in those next games: two, one, one, none, one, none, one.
To be honest, you might feel the need to ignore one of the seven instances. Hutchinson gave up six goals in a loss to the Portland Pirates in mid-March and posted a shutout in his next game for St. John's, but that was a month later, after a stint with the parent Winnipeg Jets. But even then, his overall goals-against-average in the other six rebound contests has been 1.00, with a .953 save percentage.
What's more, he's lost six of 18 starts in the playoffs and has posted a win after each of those defeats, twice on shutouts, with a collective 0.83 GAA and .975 save percentage (204 shots/199 saves).
Monday's game was the topper to that impressive record. The 49 saves were the most in a Calder Cup final series game in more than a decade, dating back to 2003, when Ty Conklin (83 saves) of the Hamilton Bulldogs and Johan Holmqvist (79 saves) of the Houston Aeros met in a 2003 four-overtime classic, the longest in league history, won 2-1 by Hamilton.
There was no overtime Monday because of Hutchinson, whose best work came in the third period when he stopped all 20 shots he faced. The Stars, who led the AHL with 274 goals in the regular season, were continuously thwarted by the IceCaps netminder, whose most spectacular saves came just over a minute apart in the final frame the first one on Kevin Henderson after giving up a rebound, and the other, a superb, diving blocker stop on Brendan Ranford's wraparound attempt.
That allowed goals by Kael Mouillierat — on St. John's first scoring chance of the game — and Blair Riley early the second period to prove enough for a crucial victory.
A goal by Ranford 29 seconds into the middle period had brought Texas even with St. John's, but the tie score lasted one shift as Riley got his second of the playoffs 44 seconds later.
The game didn't feature much scoring and just as little in the way of penalties. The IceCaps got a power-play late midway through the second on a holding penalty to Jyrki Jokipakka and there were coincidental roughing minors to defencemen Jordan Hill of St. John's and Jamie Oleksiak late in the same period. Other than that, the penalty boxes were unoccupied except for the attendants. It marked the first time this season — through 76 regular-season games and 18 more in the playoffs — that St. John's didn't have to kill a penalty.
Texas goalie Cristopher Nilstorp made 33 saves in a second-star performance that would have been good enough to produce a win for his team on most any night. But the way Hutchinson was playing at the other end Monday, this was not just any night.
The IceCaps and Stars share a charter flight from Austin to St. John's today, travelling a distance of nearly 4,300 kilometres ...Monday marked the 15th time in 18 playoff games that the IceCaps have scored the game's opening goal. They have won on 12 of those occasions … St. John's is now 10-1 in these playoffs when leading after two periods …Defenceman Zach Redmond led all IceCaps in ice time Monday and was plus-two in the game, improving his rating to plus-10, best on the team … St. John's used the same 20 players it did Monday, but there was one notable adjustment by head coach Keith McCambridge. That saw Carl Klingberg rejoin a line with Eric O'Dell and Kael Mouillierat, while Josh Lunden took Klingberg's former spot with Adam Lowry and Jerome Samson … The Molson Canadian three stars Monday: 1. Michael Hutchinson, SJs; 2. Cristopher Nilstorp, Tex.; 3. Blair Riley, SJs … The Mary Brown's hardest-working IceCaps: Jason Jaffray …

As state DOTs and local governments plan road maintenance and construction, pending external influences such as federal funds, asphalt and concrete manufacturers wage a heated battle to dominate the paving market.
Until 2008, asphalt captured roughly 94% of all pavements in the U.S. market. During this time, asphalt enjoyed a lower initial bid and a life-cycle paving cost advantage over concrete, according to a Portland Cement Association (PCA) analysis using Wisconsin DOT's paving software. But not anymore, says Ed Sullivan, PCA's chief economist.
Increasing oil prices and changes in the oil-refining process have forced asphalt prices up, says Sullivan, thereby leveling the playing field for cement/concrete contractors.
Since 2003, liquid asphalt prices have increased by more than 200% and concrete only 37% — yet some state DOTs' procurement practices hinder "free market" economics that favor concrete, says Sullivan. He blames outdated policies for slowing concrete's penetration into the paving market and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These include policies that:
- Don't allow bids with alternative materials
- Include asphalt cost escalator provisions (established during the oil embargo of the 1970s, allowing contractors to adjust their construction price based on fluctuation in liquid asphalt cost after the bid is won)
- Lack equivalent paving design methods that can compare current asphalt and concrete mixtures. (The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials responded to the need by adopting a mechanistic empirical pavement design guide in 2004: MEPDG, referred to as DARWin-ME.)
Asphalt industry experts also blame outdated bidding practices for hindering what they consider one the largest growth opportunities in paving: green roads. In his Software Advice blog "Green Roads Construction: Are contractors our road block?" Enterprise Resource Planning Analyst Derek Singleton argues that cost-plus pricing agreements, which pay contractors for the cost of labor plus the cost of asphalt, encourage excess use of asphalt and man-hours.
He says the contracts ultimately cost taxpayers more and discourage environmentally friendly road construction methods such as hot and cold in-place recycling and full-depth reclamation — which reuse existing asphalt for repair rather than replacing it with new material.
Singleton concludes that performance-based bidding increases use of recycling techniques, thus reducing the cost of road construction. He points to North Carolina, where contractors pay for the asphalt, but can use any method to meet engineers' standards. The state has the lowest cost of road construction in North America — and the highest amount of hot in-place recycling.

Nullification is a dirty business. The state rarely prevails. The best result for states versus the federal government was probably the first major one, which I believe was over tariffs. Andrew Jackson got into office and cut a compromise that pacified South Carolina, which had led the charge.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (which said that fugitive slaves caught in the North could be returned to their masters in the South) led to another crisis, as Wisconsin and then Vermont nullified the law. Vermont went so far as to pass a law mandating that local officials help fugitive slaves escape. The Supreme Court overruled Wisconsin but the Vermont nullification was never resolved, as the Civil War -- which in a way was the ultimate nullification crisis -- started a few years later. The Civil Rights era featured a number of crises centering around nullification, obviously. The federal government ultimately forced it's will on several states, especially Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas.
Either way, arresting federal officers would a silly idea, guaranteed to backfire around the country. This all sounds to me like bluster designed for Obama to make a decision on federal enforcement before he does anything. Is he really prepared to send infantry to Wyoming to enforce an executive order?
In practice, jury nullification (local juries ruling in favor of those that defy the federal law) is a better strategy to achieve the desired end. Force the federal government to take the next step. Arresting federal officers is skipping to the end unnecessarily.

We used PODIO before, but configuring it to our needs was a lot of work as we did not know how to get the max benefit out of it. Perhaps if you'd get a one-to-one session with them on the configuration stage, things would go much faster.
Pros : 100% customizable, perhaps to any of your need, a lot of apps available
Cons : Hard to configure it to some "best usage" in your own field. It's doable, but it takes you a lot of time than any out of the box tool that is doing a similar job.
It seems that Apptivo cannot realistically address our suppliers issues. There is no way to easily integrate supply products into the system as margins are not automatically calculated etc. The product has loads of potential, but currently, it has serious issues with supply chain management.

No one loves apps more than we do as a tool for improving your productivity and making life easier. Podio will mean that I can roll up what I am doing in Trello, Zoho, CRM and Producteev into one product and at my level of business it is currently free. That is awesome. I don't think I've ever been happier. It's that good I would consider paying for it, even though its free.More about Podio

I've been using Podio almost since it was an startup. It was great to use it as a internal communication tool,.... however, if you need to go further on the project management and knowledge, or many other uses.. it gets complicated and limited. The way it's built allows for a lot of uses and applications, but none of them is the main purpose the application is built for, ... so in some part you will face the limitations.More about Podio

What do you like best?A decent tool for Time Tracking, Invoicing, Opportunity management. It essentially seems to be geared toward Professional Services organizations. Especially with features like Time Tracking, Invoicing, etc. I like the fact that these services are integrated and native to the application. What do you dislike?The opportunity management features, reporting, and searching definitely seem to be lacking as compared to Salesforce. The interface is clumsy and difficult to use. The app itself feels incredibly slow.More about Apptivo

In 2003, Gonzo made "Last Exile": a neat adventure story with gorgeous visuals set in a fascinating world inhabited with some intriguing characters and, most importantly, a genuine sense of adventure and wonder. That said, it had its problems: the main characters were bland, the story pace was uneven and the ending was a rushed mess. Fast forward to 2011, Gonzo is diving into the world of Last Exile yet again with "Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam" (TL: Fam, the Silver Wing).

An unfortunate truth about the anime industry is that movies of long-running shounen manga are always trite and unremarkable: uninspired scenarios and forgettable guest characters being among the main reasons why. Though it's not surprising. Why bother thinking up an interesting plot when you know people will be drawn to the popular brand it's based on anyhow? ''Full Metal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos'' – based on the acclaimed manga - is no exception. It's a forgettable if somewhat serviceable adventure flick with some exciting action sequences and a lacking story. No different from the... See full review
Fate/Zero had some big shoes to fill. Based on a series of light novels that serve as a prequel to one of the most beloved visual novels of all time, animated by Studio ufotable – which has proven itself deft at adapting Type-Moon material with their fine work on Kara no Kyoukai – and with a soundtrack composed by none other than Yuki Kajiura; it's no surprise that fans were ecstatic in their anticipation. Hype is of course a dangerous thing, known to backlash horribly when it spins out of control. Which makes it a relief that Fate/Zero is quite good. Great, even. For the uninitiated... See full review
When someone on the Internet describes a work of fiction as 'visionary', it's usually meant as a form of praise, referring to a willingness to defy convention in favor of something more thought-provoking and enticing.

Comforting lies or a bitter truth. Which is better?

The end result is something that thematically feels less like the typical mystery anime and more like a sci-fi spin on the British crime-drama Foyle's War. Let's get one thing clear: UN-GO isn't very good when taken as a pure detective story. Most of... See full review
''Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai'' (We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day) is a series that sets lofty goals for itself. It is, in essence,
a ghost story that aspires to be a poignant drama about (unrequited) love, loss, adolescence and self (re-)discovery. Heavy themes that require a delicate touch. That last part is where things go wrong, but more on that later. As the show begins, we see a boy sitting at home while his female friend is pestering him. The boy's father is remarkably unfazed by what is going on. Soon enough, we learn why. The girl, Meiko... See full review
It's all too common for anime-series to start off on a promising note only to end in a
disappointing manner. Sometimes creators are forced to rush an ending due to
external factors, other times they run out ideas or budget but most of the time
writers simply bite off more than they can chew resulting in cheesy melodrama
through all sorts of contrived situations. Hanasaku Iroha is the complete opposite. Its first 6 or so episodes try out drama,
comedy, romance or slice-of –life in such a way that the shifts between

'Katanagatari' all released new installments that were (at least) double the
length of a typical anime episode up to and including feature length films.
Upsides to this approach are that the production values tend to be much higher

'Seirei no Moribito' ('Moribito, for short) is a very polarizing series. Many praise it for its stellar production values, great atmosphere and layered, believable characters.

Carillon concert, reception to honor Graduate School
Posted August 15, 2000; 03:06 p.m.
The Graduate School at Princeton University invites the public to a free carillon concert and reception, Sunday, Aug. 27 at 1 p.m. in celebration of the Graduate School's Centennial.
The performance, at Cleveland Tower of the Graduate College, will feature Dr. Scott B. Parry playing works by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Bizet, Beethoven and Schubert. The Graduate College is off Springdale and College Roads in Princeton.
Parry, a Princeton resident and Princeton University alumnus from the Class of 1954, studied with the University's first carillonneur, Professor Arthur Bigelow. He has performed on more than 50 carillons in nine countries and has led handbell groups throughout the northeast.
The concert is one of many programs and lectures throughout 2000 and 2001 that will honor the 100th anniversary of the Graduate School. The events will offer "an opportunity to celebrate the School's distinguished history, the contributions of its alumni to scholarship and research, education, public policy and industry, and the School's contributions to Princeton's teaching and research programs," said University President Harold T. Shapiro, a Graduate School alumnus.

Savory appetizer cheesecakes have great make-ahead convenience. The terrific combination of ham and Swiss cheese is classic.
You can use fresh marjoram instead of the thyme if you like.
This cheesecake is perfect to tote to a gathering. Just leave it in the springform pan until you're ready to serve. Pack your garnishes separately, and decorate at the party.
Arrange the cheesecake on a pretty platter. Top with roasted red pepper cutouts of poinsettia leaves and the thyme sprigs.

You can serve this Asian extravaganza as a great main dish, but try it in smaller amounts as a side dish, too.
Shiitake mushrooms hail from Japan and Korea, but they are now grown in the U.S., as well. These dark brown mushrooms have meaty flesh with a full-bodied, steaklike flavor.
Be sure to buy the dark, Asian sesame oil instead of the lighter version. Dark sesame oil has a deeper, richer flavor than light; a little goes a long way.

My poor car -- the alternator is broken, so if I want to drive anywhere, I have to fully charge the battery and drive really fast before the battery runs out. It's not too bad during the day, but racing around at night with the headlights operating on 9 volts (and decreasing) brings new meaning to "fun". Being inherintly lazy, and only driving my car about twice a month, I'm sure I will procrastinate buying an alternator for another few weeks.
The car comes up, because I used it this weekend to go to the neighborhood BestBuy and purchase a new laptop, an eMachines M5312. Except the ethernet tranceiver didn't work, so I had to return it. I drove to a different store to return it, since the first sold me the last in stock. And then drove to a third, because the second sold their last about 10 minutes before I got there. The car survived.
I, however, was very hungry and went to get a burrito before wiping Windows XP Home Edition.
Being a long-time Debian fan and developer, I decided to test out the new sarge installer. I was very impressed. It was essentially bug free, only confusing in a few places, and installed lots of stuff without any problems.
Well, there was one problem, but nothing that is debian-installer fault -- I needed to install XFree-4.3 to get X working.
What is bothering me currently, though, is that the installer didn't really attempt to get any of my other hardwhere working (or tell me that it couldn't get it working). I have USB, Firewire, wireless, ACPI, and sound that were all left unsupported and the relevant packages uninstalled. I'm now piecing together what exactly is necessary to get these working -- at least for wireless, I can apparently use the NDIS driver and driverloader.

"Why People Behave Badly" topic of upcoming Binghamton University EvoS seminar
Barbara Oakley, author of Evil Genes, will be the guest speaker of the upcoming EvoS seminar series at 4 p.m. Friday, September 5, in Lecture Hall 8 on the Binghamton University campus. The talk, titled "Why People Behave Badly," is free and open to the public.
Oakley's background, which includes a stint in the army and as a translator aboard a Russian trawler during the cold war, has earned a reputation as a "female Indiana Jones." Her numerous works include Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Collapsed, and My Sister Stole My Mother's Boyfriend.
According to Oakley, a professor at Oakland University, one of the most difficult problems in psychology, psychiatry, sociology, social work, philosophy, religious studies, criminology, and history, is understanding why some people intentionally inflect emotional and physical pain on others. Neuroscience is providing the potential for a revolution in our understanding of why "bad" people do what they do. Oakley uses evolutionary theory to knit together disparate pieces of research that point toward answers to some of the most compelling questions in the social sciences and humanities.

Add a Mexican twist to a summer picnic staple by adding spicy chilies and fresh pineapple salsa.
To save time, skip grilling the jalapeños—just slice, seed and use—or substitute pickled sliced jalapeños from a jar.
Jalapeños and hot dogs can be grilled on a stove-top grill pan, if desired.
Chipotles in adobo sauce can be quite spicy, so if you haven't tried them before, add 1 teaspoon first to the mayonnaise and taste before adding more.

backward and forward both run to need may they ,faster run to are computers If
Brian Hayes
Most of the machines we encounter in everyday life are one-way
devices. Kitchen appliances turn bread into toast and cabbage into
cole slaw, but they cannot perform the opposite transformations.
Even machines that claim to be reversible adopt a very shallow
notion of what it means to go backwards. The drill in my tool box
has settings marked "forward" and "reverse," but
no matter which I choose, I cannot undrill a hole. The gearshift in
my car also has a position labeled R, but when I back up,
the engine keeps turning in the same direction; if the car were
truly reversed, it would suck in pollution through the
tailpipe, converting it into gasoline and air.
Computers, too, are mostly irreversible machines. When a program is
running, there's no way to turn it around and have it step through
the same instructions in the opposite order. Even if that were
feasible, the backward-running program would not uncompute an
answer. Some of the individual instructions would also have to be
reversed, or inverted; for example, undoing addition requires
subtraction. For computers of the current generation, such reversals
of logic and arithmetic are simply not possible.
In the case of toasters and gasoline engines, full reversibility is
too much to ask, but no fundamental law forbids reversible
computing. The theoretical possibility of a digital computer that
can run forward and backward with equal ease has been recognized for
more than 30 years. A few silicon prototypes have been built and
shown to work. Still, up to now, reversible computing has been a toy
technology, more of interest to theorists than to engineers. Only a
small community of devotees believed it would ever be anything more.
That attitude is changing now. The reason is that reversible
computing holds out the promise of dramatically lower power
consumption, which is becoming an urgent need. Also, any computer
based on quantum technology will necessarily be a reversible
machine. As a result, forward-thinking chip designers are thinking
backwards too. It's not too soon to ask what it might be like to
have a reversible computer on your desk, or to write programs that
can run in either direction.

Budding scientists and engineers spend summer vacation in the lab
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Over the next few weeks, young scientists and engineers will gather at Binghamton University to participate in an intensive 10-day summer science program. The Go Green Institute, scheduled for July 6 – 19, will bring together about 50 of the Southern Tier's brightest seventh-graders for a hands-on learning experience centered on the theme of a greener living environment.
Designed to excite students about science, math and engineering, Go Green will explore issues of science, math and engineering as they relate to creating a sustainable living environment. Students will experiment in the lab and take field trips to locations like the University Nature Preserve and BAE Systems.
The Go Green activities will culminate with a poster session and celebration on Friday, July 17, in the Lecture Hall complex on the Binghamton University campus. At this event, students will show what they've learned through interactive displays of solutions to self selected environmental issues.
Go Green, led by Wayne Jones, professor of chemistry, involves a dedicated group of graduate students, middle school science teachers, and faculty working closely with the students.
"Middle school is often a time when students turn away from science because it's not perceived as 'cool' enough," Jones said. "We want to capture these talented students' interest early and give them an opportunity to see scientists and engineers as real people who engage in exciting projects and solve problems in everyday life."
The University's Center of Excellence in Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging (S3IP) co-sponsored the program with Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) and a grant from the STNY-13 Work Force New York Program.

Went for a late season morel hunt this morning. I think season is just about done, only found 2 this morning after finding 37 on Wednesday evening. So far this seson I have found just over 300. Not too shabby for 2 weeks of hunting.
The best part of this morning was a little bitter sweet... I was getting ready to cross a creek to look under a huge elm tree. As I was about to jump across I something caught my eye in the water- it was a find of a lifetime. This guy was surely a bruiser in his day. Part of me hates to find him this way but at the same time I am excited to have been given this gift from God. This old boy will be sent to my cousin to do a European mount. When I get it back I will post the pics!

Unions usually are found where companies do not reward their employees as they should....so your seniero is one that wouldn't exist anyway.
Collective bargining by design says that we are stronger as a whole than as indivduals. So maybe there are folks in the union that are more deserving, but they realize that they are better off as a whole. Because managers and owners change regularly

wanting some opinions on the "HOT" pups selling right now.
Fargo II?
Any others?
wanting some opinions on the "HOT" pups selling right now.
Fargo II?
Any others?
Emmitt x Dora Seaside Retrievers the best I know about today
Check out the "Top Stud" thread. You will find lots and lots of pages giving good information.
I hate rude behavior in a man, won't tolerate it. Captain Woodrow Call
Fen wizard, nick of time lone ranger, and Shaq are a few. Emmitt has only been bred a few times and his pups have never seen competition, so when you ask "what pups are hot" mentioning him would be jumping the gun. Not to say he won't produce, time will tell.
Fargo II is deceased. I do not know of any recent Fargo breedings. You would have to contact Jane Patopea to see if she has sold any straws and to whom she has sold them.
Well there have been two Cosmo litters born since February, a Ford litter, a Ford breeding coming up and I know of an Ali breeding with a really nice Chopper bitch that is in the oven now, so they are out there, you just never hear about most of them.
Field Trials are competitions....not everyone gets a "participation ribbon" and they do "keep score"
Music for walking to the line
Add to your "hot" puppy sellers pups by Gary Zellner's Pirate and Jim Harvey's Juice. If you are in the market for a pup, contact the owner of the stud dog for upcoming breedings. Same is true of the dam... find one you like and contact the owner for info on when she will be bred and to whom... then get on the waiting list.
Watch for the winner of the upcoming National Amateur. If it is won by a male, he will be the next popular stud dog.
If you are asking what sires are being bred the most right now, I'd have to say:
Others quality sires that are getting bred:
Pow (as in Powder My Buns)
And the "Old School" breedings that you see every once in awhile:
Creek Robber
Pow (as in Esprit's Power Play)

Guess I'm "old school" since I have three out of four of those.
Field Trials are competitions....not everyone gets a "participation ribbon" and they do "keep score"
Music for walking to the line
I have seen a lot of Pirate pups and they look very good. Grady is top of the list so far with younger pups making the"grade" . Either one depending on who they were bred to would sell well. If that's what you mean by "hot".

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit its highest point in two years -- 60 percent -- and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president's standing improved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independent Americans -- a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election -- caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years.
Comfortable majorities of the public now call Obama a strong leader who will keep America safe. Nearly three-fourths -- 73 percent -- also now say they are confident that Obama can effectively handle terrorist threats. And he improved his standing on Afghanistan, Iraq and the United States' relationships with other countries.
Despite a sluggish recovery from the Great Recession, 52 percent of Americans now approve of Obama's stewardship of the economy, giving him his best rating on that issue since the early days of his presidency; 52 percent also now like how he's handling the nation's stubbornly high 9 percent unemployment.
Just thought you Tea Party people would like to hear the good news.

By The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.
At one point during the U.S. Supreme Court's hearing of a case challenging a provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act came a revealing comment from the high court's most predictable arch conservative, Antonin Scalia.
Justice Scalia said the law now amounted to a "perpetuation of racial entitlement."
The preposterousness of that conclusion was not lost, thankfully, on Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who quickly asked one of the lawyers representing the Alabamians challenging part of the act, "Do you think that the right to vote is a racial entitlement? Do you think that racial discrimination in voting has ended, that there is none anywhere?"
But any student of this nation's history knows that discrimination against black citizens with regard to voting has been blatant and commonplace over time, particularly in the South.
It is a challenge from Shelby County, Ala., that has brought the issue to the fore.
All the justices acknowledge that progress has been made on that front, but they differ as to whether that part of the Voting Rights Act should be lifted. As veteran Justice Stephen Breyer said, "It's gotten a lot better. A lot better. But it's still there."
It may not be a poll tax, but a voter ID law is clearly designed to benefit one party over another, and courts have struck down some.
North Carolina made more progress than most of its neighbors because of moderate governors and the influence of the University of North Carolina system, especially under the enlightened leadership of the late William Friday.
But discrimination is deceptive, and like a dormant virus it can be subject to an unpleasant recurrence.
The extension of the Voting Rights Act, a proud landmark in the civil rights movement, was overwhelmingly approved by Congress in 2006. It should stand, all parts of it, until that 25-year extension has expired.

Announcing the ozmusicrescue saveaussiemusic mailing list
In re: yesterday's post about saving Australian music from obscurity, I have now set up the saveaussiemusic mailing list so we can start discussing the project.
I posted the following in my welcome message, laying out the shape and scope of the project as I see it, and I'm including them here for easy reference (and so this post is more than a paragraph long).
1. The scope of this project is "independent and hard-to-find Australian music". (My current personal interests are in the indie/alternative/punk/post-punk/etc sort of genres, but I see no reason to limit it to that.)
2. The goal is to make information about this music, and (eventually/hopefully/ideally) the music itself available as freely and openly as possible, to maximise the possibility of people being able to spread the love. To this end we will release everything we can under open source and open content licenses — ideally CC-0 for content and a permissive open source license for any code we create.
3. I want us to use existing infrastructure where possible, rather than creating our own. To that end, I think we should be putting structured data into repositories like MusicBrainz, encyclopedic content into Wikipedia, digital archive material into the Internet Archive, etc. We should give strong preference to data/content repositories that are run by long-term stable non-profits, whose data/content is accessible via open APIs, and whose data/content is widely used by third parties. This will make our material more accessible to the world at large, and won't wear out our volunteers on maintaining our own servers and databases.
4. This project needs to work within the bounds of copyright law as it currently exists. I personally think said copyright law is deeply deeply flawed, but I also don't want to be sued into oblivion. So when it comes to media archives, we need to think innovatively and come up with legal ways to do it.
5. We should partner, where possible, with other projects and organisations with similar goals. This can range from public libraries and archives, to groups like Creative Commons, to (just a blue-sky example) crowdfunding organisations like pozible.com.au. Partnering will get us more exposure and awareness of our project, and also save us from reinventing the wheel.
6. We need to involve people from a range of backgrounds: musicians, fans, librarians and archivists, coders, journalists and zinesters, everyone. I want us to share knowledge/skills and make this something that all sorts of people can take part in, regardless of technical background, profession, or degree of indie cred.
Another thing I would say, as a sort of high-level description of the project, is this: librarians talk a lot about preservation and access. This project needs to consider both of those, plus awareness. We should be making people aware of Australian music, and of the set of issues that prompted this project in the first place.
Anyway, if that sounds interesting to you, please join the saveaussiemusic mailing list.

Tara here: Surrounded by unspoiled countryside, Cesk� Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning little town with great atmosphere. Its key feature is the castle that perches over the meandering Vltava River. The town's narrow cobblestone streets wind between incredibly old buildings - most of which are either pubs, restaurants, shops, pensions or hotels.
This charming town experienced its greatest prosperity during the rule of Lords of Rozmberk (1302 - 1602), who chose Cesk� Krumlov to become the seat of their kingdom. At this time, Krumlov lay on the crossroads between the Czech, Austrian, Bavarian and Northern Italian lands. The town hasn't experienced major changes since the 19th century, other than the demolition of the its fortification walls and guard towers. All this to say that it has maintained its historic character.
We spent two days touring the castle and its grounds admiring the different furnishings and learning about the town's history. What makes the castle so unique is that almost all of the furnishings are original and the castle maintains its original interior. Different rooms have been arranged to represent different time periods. Even though the castle was inhabited by the German army during the World War II, virtually nothing was taken or destroyed.
Nathan here: There are a number of hightlights at the castle. First, it contains one of the world's oldest Baroque theatres. In fact, we were told that there is only one other theatre in the world like this one and it's located in Sweden. This theatre is virtually intact from the way it was in the 18th century. It is complete with 13 full sets, hundreds of costumes and props and even sound and lighting effect machines. Again, all this dates to the 1700s.
Because of its very delicate nature, there are a limited number of opportunities to see the theatre each day. Even though we were not allowed to take photos, we count ourselves very lucky to have seen it. It really was very fascinating.
Tara here: Another interesting feature of the castle which has been preserved is the bear pit surrounding the second courtyard. Traditionally, instead of a water moat the castle kept bears in a pit to ward off unwanted visitors. Today three bears live in the pit and one of them was nice enough to pose for a few photos for us. She was a real show bear and really knew how to work a crowd.
On day two we rented a boat from our pension and paddled down the river that penetrates the town. I use the word 'paddle' lightly as the current was working for us so we didn't have to do much paddling. We were in a type of inflatable canoe and it sure was fun going over a series of rapids in it! It was a really hot day and a fabulous thing to do.
We actually decided to stay a third day in the town because Friday was the start of Cesky Krumlov's biggest festival: the Five Petal Rose festival (read: a big Renaissance festival). Friday night saw the main square filled with people in elaborate costumes and the stage alight with fire eaters, jugglers, musicians and comedians. Although the jugglers were not as entertaining (or as technically talented) as Nathan's brother Jon, we enjoyed the performances nonetheless. We especially enjoyed the readily available food and beer on our last night in this charming town.
Nathan again: A special word about Czech beer. I had previously been told that - in general - Czech beer was the best in the world. I was more than a little skeptical because I think we have some great brews back home in Canada. Well, I'm officially on the Czech bandwagon and while Alexander Keith's (www.keiths.ca) will always hold a special place in my heart, nothing beats cold Czech beer from a tap.
Nathan again: Note to travellers: there are tons of places to stay. For our part, we were very happy with Pension Svet (www.penzionsvet.cz) which was just a short walk from the old town. The owner, Michael, was incredibly friendly and helpful in terms of providing info about the town, its sites, etc. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and, most importantly, very affordable. Two thumbs up. A great view from the rooms too.
We were sad to leave CK but alas, our time in Prague was going to be short, so early the next morning off we went to Prague. More later, T&N

It seemed surprisingly filler-y for a season premiere, but it was an enjoyable episode. Seems like Raylan should know better by now about leaving things in his trunk, though. I was a little confused when the episode started, a dead body showing up in some strange and randomy way at some point several years earlier? Definitely thought it may have been a CSI episode. Very weird route to go.
Few points...
- Patton Oswalt was a mostly enjoyable addition, but he recently overstayed his welcome on Burn Notice and I don't want to see the same happen here. In fairness, it's not so much himself and was more an error on part of the Burn Notice writers who copy & pasted his role four episodes in a row.
- Timmy from Jurassic Park is grown up and preaching in the woods with a creepy sidekick - and a snake in hand. That was just weird, but it will be interesting to see where this goes. I'm sure there's going to be some connection to Boyd's former backwoods conversion retreat.
- Arlo was a worthwhile addition for once. I've grown very annoyed with him as a general character, especially over season three, and wasn't too joyed to see him again so soon. But, he was more about serious actions than being a bitter old codger for once, and I like that angle to him much better.
- Boyd's new partner seems like he should be a lot more interesting to have around than the usual hillbilly redshirts (...rednecks? ) that Boyd gets surrounded with.

News Releases, Media Advisories
|For Immediate Release
September 24, 2001
|Kelly Huff
Ron Harris
Ian Stirton
WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has recently made public its final action on 11 matters previously under review (MURs). This release contains only summary information. Closed files should be thoroughly read for details, including the FECs legal analysis of the case. (See footnote at the end of this release.) Closed MUR files are available in the Public Records Office.
The Enforcement Priority System (EPS) rates all incoming cases against objective criteria to determine whether they warrant use of the Commissions limited resources.
Cases dismissed under EPS fall into two categories: low-rated cases and stale cases. Low rated cases are those that do not warrant use of the Commissions resources to pursue because of their lower significance relative to other pending matters. Stale cases are those that initially received a higher rating but have remained unassigned for a significant period due to a lack of staff resources for effective investigation. Effective enforcement relies upon the timely pursuit of complaints and referrals to ensure compliance with the law. Investigations concerning activity more remote in time usually require a greater commitment of resources, primarily due to the fact that the evidence of such activity becomes more difficult to develop as it ages. The utility of commencing an investigation declines as these cases age, until they reach a point when activation of a case would not be an efficient use of the Commissions resources. As cases reach this point, they are recommended for dismissal.

In fairness, Thunderwing was a G1 toy before he appeared in the comic book. Part of the big deal with him is how they made such a POS toy into such a badarse super-Decepticon.
I'd definitely count Bludgeon as a "figure in another line who pretty much counts," and possibly Banzai-Tron, too, since the character was so insanely minor and didn't transform.

Firearm owners, parents, schools, law enforcement agencies, public health officials, health care providers and others have supported LOK-IT-UP.
LOK-IT-UP focuses on family and community safety. It seeks to increase the voluntary safe storage of firearms as a way of preventing firearm-related deaths and injuries, particularly among children. To learn more, go to lokitup.org.
First approved in 1993, the city's ban aims to keep both citizens and property safe. Most of Issaquah's surrounding cities, including Sammamish, Bellevue and Redmond, also ban fireworks for personal use. Learn more.
The cameras only operate during school days from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. The cameras monitor both directions of traffic along Second Avenue Southeast near the Clark Elementary School, Issaquah High School and Tiger Mountain High School corridor.
Only vehicles that exceed the school zone's speed limit of 20 mph are photographed and videotaped.
Before the $124 infractions are mailed to the registered owners of speeding vehicles, the Issaquah Police Department reviews and confirms each violation.
The infraction is a non-criminal offense that, like a parking ticket, is not part of the violator's driving record. Those who receive an infraction have the option of paying the fine in full, requesting a hearing or submitting a "declaration of non-responsibility."
To keep our waters clean, pet owners should pick up their pet waste from paved and landscaped areas and dispose of it properly so that is does not wash off into storm drains, lakes and rivers.
Follow these pet waste tips:• Carry a plastic bag with you on walks.• Pick up pet waste and dispose of it in the trash.• Pet waste does not go in yard waste bin.• Do not dispose of pet waste in native growth and vegetative areas.
Studies have shown that simply reducing the speed limit does not slow down traffic, since drivers behavior is based on the characteristics of the roadway.
Using stop signs to control speeding, however, is ineffective because traffic will only slow or stop in the immediate vicinity of the stop sign. Oftentimes, speeds are actually higher between intersections to make up for the time lost for stopping.
Also, an approved tree removal permit is always required for the removal or alteration of landmark trees, defined as trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of greater than 30 inches. The City wants to emphasize the importance of retaining older large trees, so trees with a DBH of greater than 30 inches cannot be removed without an approved tree removal permit.
Multi-family and Commercial Properties - Any Significant Tree removal requires a permit.
The City offers a one-time leak adjustment to your bill if you qualify. Qualification criteria and instructions for how to apply for the leak adjustment is available on the Leak Adjustment page.
