Lewd, indecent and unbecoming behaviour! Definitely not an national icon. Definitely not someone who is cognizant of his impending court judgement. Machael, you continue to give us ammunition to assess who/what you really are
says ... on Tuesday, Jan 29 at 12:43 PM
Why is this a surprise? The man abuses his own mother in public using the most filthy language but BMobile continues to sponsor him since they have no ethics. Imagine Nike drop Tiger Woods for his private behaviour but BMobile support Montano.
says ... on Tuesday, Jan 29 at 7:04 PM
machael shame on you,i had a lot of respect for you but lately you are behaving like someone with no character, values or morals you beleive you are above everything don't worry your days are numbered. people need to stop following him.
says ... on Tuesday, Jan 29 at 10:48 PM
at the end of the day women need to respect themselves first , when you look into a mirror , what do you see ? a reflection of your self , and if that young lady respected herself then Machel would not have had done that . so don't jus see Machel smh
says ... on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 7:35 PM
You people are totally overreacting! This is what you get with carnival...it has always been that way. Everyone is on the "jail Machel" bandwagon. Machel Montano has done more for T&T than our tourist board in promoting our country.
says ... on Thursday, Jan 31 at 2:27 AM
These are the people we have as role models for our youths? He was one young man I had admired, but over the years what a shameful display.Machel you might have money today, but that is no passport for such distasteful behavior,SHAME ON YOU. NASTY
says ... on Thursday, Jan 31 at 2:05 PM
Seriously - have you people been living under a rock? De man entertaining like this for years. Wrong or right, he is certainly not responsible for the bad behavior in the youths of today! Get a life please...and some cable tv for a reality check!
says ... on Friday, Feb 1 at 7:12 AM
I enjoyed Morning Edition yesterday wit Machel, Iwer & d commentator. This how Tv does it. That's y dey r #1 :-)
says ... on Friday, Feb 1 at 6:47 PM
what is de saying, * if u want to b my slave i will let you*. the woman is at fault. and his Sponsors should ask him to tone it down. it's a little to much, even for Carnival.
says ... on Saturday, Feb 2 at 5:00 PM
It all depends on where your mind is. i.e. if you have one.
says ... on Saturday, Feb 2 at 5:47 PM
there is so much crime in triniddad and tobago to pay attention to and this is what you all have a problem with .When you guys buying pirate copies of the same soca artist .Nothing wrong with that right a bunch of hypocrites.When Calder Hart take

Look at his company. Look at the friends he has in high places
says ... on Tuesday, Feb 5 at 11:42 PM
All i have to say is hate us, hate us, it's all entertainment, what is the fuss about, it's carnival time that's when we let go of all the stress and enjoy ourselves as trini's, also it brings in revenue for the country remember all the visitors.
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 9:05 AM
Machel is a disgrace to his country, school, parents. what disgrace . Macher needs to know there is a bigger power than money and machel. The longest rope has an end.
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 8:43 PM
I am definitely not surprise. What does the word Carnival means? Carni means "flesh" while Val means to play. In other words the flesh comes out to play,so therefore anything will happen. Please dont judge him,pray for him.God will intervene.
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 9:41 PM
i totally agree with princess13 his actions is distasteful dem fellas out ah hand in tnt
says ... on Thursday, Feb 7 at 7:26 AM
imagine if was a man in front him....he has to keep proving to the public that he likes women..just for show
says ... on Thursday, Feb 7 at 8:30 PM
So some of these comments sounds like they are promoting sexual behaviors, because it is Carnival, so it is alright to teach our children to drink beer from Trinidad, criminal superstar, Machel, make believe sexual organ. What a Shame, Carnival eh.
says ... on Thursday, Feb 7 at 9:01 PM
I think there is good entertainment. Yes he is a godd entertainer, but vulgarity is different. I do not blame him, I blame the women who put themselves in those situations. The have no shame
says ... on Friday, Feb 8 at 6:46 PM
I believe Trinidadians have a tendency of criticizing Machel Mantono for everything in he does, he is a Superstar in the Soca Arena, there is nothing like him. The picture showed women gabbing him blame the women for there behavior. Machel continue w
says ... on Friday, Feb 8 at 7:19 PM
Who is Marshall Montano?
says ... on Friday, Feb 8 at 9:02 PM
take a chill pill....Machel is pure vibes and d woman is an adult - i hope this person who put this up 1) learns to spell and 2) does mind her business as well as she does monitor Machel own....*sings* doh mind doh mind my business..........
says ... on Friday, Feb 8 at 11:05 PM
Hope this will send him where he belongs

when carnival is banned forever and alcohol made illegal, we'll finally have a country thats on its way to better.
says ... on Monday, Feb 11 at 5:05 AM
I wonder how many people criticizing Machel, listen with rapt, adoring attention when Hiphop "artistes" sing total trash liberally laced with rank obscenities, or revere reggae artistes when they degrade women.
says ... on Monday, Feb 11 at 5:46 PM
I agree Machel is great performer. It does not mean he can beat u people and get away with it. So if he rape a woman or kill someone that mean he has a get out jail free card. What this is monopoly? I dont care who you are yuh not nice pay d price.
says ... on Tuesday, Feb 12 at 2:25 AM
his carnival time you guys need to leave machael alone and mind your gotdum business
says ... on Friday, Feb 15 at 10:26 AM
women need to respect themselves ,no one cant stop you or encourage you to behave or act stupid
says ... on Friday, Feb 15 at 2:58 PM
You all are some hyprocites, Sparrow had the same behavior, but yet you all consider him a GREAT ROLE MODEL. Lets stop all this "blame this and blame that". You all are responsible for teaching your kids RIGHT from Wrong... GET OVER IT!!!!!!!
says ... on Friday, Feb 15 at 3:03 PM
yes Machel was wrong for abusing and disrepecting his assailant, but if you all read and study the law, the crime could be lead to a maximum of Jail time.... Learn the law and if you dont like what you see. close your eyes and cork your ears..Gosh!!!
says ... on Saturday, Feb 16 at 1:43 AM
we must remember, that this behaviour stems from the company that you keep, our elders taught us to, show me your friends and I will tell you who you are,machel and all those thugs that support him are nothing but undesirables to trinidad and tobago,
says ... on Sunday, Feb 17 at 10:53 AM
This is trinidad this is what u get u do not c a lot af that in tobago but let us c how long he will do it
says ... on Sunday, Feb 17 at 11:37 AM
after 5yrs he now admits he's sorry??? WTF!! could he not do that like 5yrs earlier??
says ... on Sunday, Feb 17 at 3:21 PM
It take him five years to say "I AM SORRY" and some dumb Trinidadians will believe that he really meant it. This is not the first time this guy ran afoul of the law and keeping getting away, because the courts continue to play with him.Jail him.
says ... on Monday, Feb 18 at 8:36 AM
he has plenty moneymarshal montano feel he has plenty money and he can do what wants get away with it. he marshal have no respect for the young children groing up in trinidad&tobago. and all who favour hiim is just the same with no respect.
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 20 at 6:44 PM
Marshall only known in caribbean that is as far as he will reach. to disrespectfu,l arrogant you will never see him on BET getting any award the guy is to big for himself very sad, am sorry for those who think he is a role model it is pitttttyfull. .
says ... on Thursday, Feb 21 at 12:47 PM
@ email@example.com. Machel Montano is the only one that WILL make it to BET. You losers need to move on and please learn to spell his name...at least.
says ... on Thursday, Feb 21 at 12:50 PM
Who are these idiots? Seems like no one can even spell Machel's..now that's amazing.
says ... on Thursday, Feb 21 at 1:18 PM
30 years ago if sparrow or any other entertainer had done any thing like that they would have been charged for indecent behavior,it just shows that the moral values of the country is at an all time low.
says ... on Friday, Feb 22 at 7:57 AM
Unlimited Tools. Yep.
says ... on Friday, Feb 22 at 7:21 PM
Lol... look at the sign on the crane behind him... says it all and silences all the critics.... Ha Ha Ha...
says ... on Saturday, Feb 23 at 12:30 AM
The slackness of the youth is due to things such as influence of internet and Cable TV, limited job opportunities, children making babies . Machel could only wish that he has that much power to corrupt an entire generation all by himself.
says ... on Sunday, Feb 24 at 7:55 PM
As an 'entertainer' I find his 'performances' highly distasteful. I am disgusted by both his and the woman's behaviour. Machel has to understand that like it or not he is a role model for many including his teenaged daughter
says ... on Monday, Feb 25 at 11:08 AM
i totally agree. for a role model machel is very slack and is continually getting away with murder.yes,this is an adult but if he had any respect at all he would have never encourage that type of loose behaviour.machel really needs to check himself.
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 27 at 1:14 AM
leave the man alone he is a supper star who tell that girl to drink from the bottle she has no moral
says ... on Wednesday, Feb 27 at 10:32 AM
All those who are adoring this young man and is not seeing that he needs help,---TOO LATE SHALL BE THE CRY---- his behavior on or off stage leaves much to be desired.
says ... on Thursday, Feb 28 at 6:18 PM
worries says ... yesterday at 2:32 PMAll those who are adoring this young man and is not seeing that he needs help,---TOO LATE SHALL BE THE CRY---- his behavior on or off stage leaves much to be desired. Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
says ... on Friday, Mar 1 at 11:27 AM
in case you'll did't take time to notice, this whole system has gone to the dogs when it comes to morals, so what Machel is doing in one way those who is discriminating is doing it another way, so don't hate, all is in a mess.
says ... on Friday, Mar 1 at 11:31 AM
all who is talking about machel about his behavior could imagine how they get on for the carnival fetes and Monday & Tuesday.
says ... on Sunday, Mar 3 at 7:16 AM
Why would a newspaper show a picture of this sort of behaviour . Shame on them
says ... on Saturday, Mar 9 at 2:04 AM
machel slack
says ... on Saturday, Mar 9 at 2:05 AM
he ah disgrace
says ... on Monday, Mar 11 at 8:58 PM
They should both be charged. The lady has no self respect and he respects No one. DISGUSTING!!
says ... on Wednesday, Mar 13 at 8:25 PM
unacceptable behaviour
says ... on Thursday, Mar 14 at 5:12 PM
yeah he is looking for jail boy
says ... on Tuesday, Mar 19 at 7:36 PM
all I see is someone being fed a drink by another! what the hell! Alyoh mind to dutty. Machel is a entertainer and one of the best and yes he's viewed as a role model, but keep in mind, he's also human, pelt stones, I hope you all houses not glass..
says ... on Friday, Mar 22 at 12:15 PM
Men are dogs, its all up to the woman to keep her wits about her and its that
says ... on Friday, Mar 22 at 7:20 PM
who vex loss...
says ... on Tuesday, Mar 26 at 11:15 AM
Trini people not easy nah! Alyuh could cry down people wayyyyyyyy. I hope everybody who criticizing here was in church from Carnival Friday to Wednesday eh!
says ... on Monday, Apr 1 at 7:04 AM
I see a man with a microphone and a glass or bottle in the other hand. He is performing on a stage and a woman seems to be drinking from the container. I may need new glasses or some of you need to get your minds out of the gutter or get a real life
says ... on Friday, Apr 5 at 1:54 PM
looks like the girl is trying to get some free rum from a bottle he's holding, why should he be given a ticket for indecent behavior? he wasn't naked or showing any explicit signs or gestures;when u see women dress half naked then, that's disrespect
says ... on Monday, Apr 8 at 8:53 PM
And supa blue is a coke addict.......AND????
says ... on Thursday, Apr 25 at 7:26 PM
What a mess, it amazes me that some folks cannot even figure out which is right and which is wrong when it comes to a case of morality........PITY?
says ... on Sunday, Apr 28 at 7:58 PM
Don't attempt to hoist the ills of society on Machel's shoulders,morality is an issue for parents. Open your eyes to the actions of priest's and politicians then begin your chant.
says ... on Saturday, May 4 at 10:37 PM
people just like to fight down one another cause all i see is a lady get some of his drink
says ... on Wednesday, May 8 at 11:30 AM
Machel, Watch your actions my boy!! You may think that these acts are funny but remember: Quote:"Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time."Henry Wadsworth
says ... on Monday, May 20 at 10:42 PM
For those of you who see this as disrespectful behaviour, your mind is totally in the gutter. Because, you all are thinking way out of the box, and looking for something that's not there. Look again what do you really see? Your imagination is ??????
says ... on Monday, May 20 at 11:46 PM
This is what our society now accepts as normal.Nonesense look at the expression on Machel face and the position of the lady hands. A picture lets a thousand words.
says ... on Thursday, May 23 at 8:35 PM
I know Liz and Monty Machel and Marcus they are a family of high morals Soca is Machel,s calling it,s all about Whining Sex and Drinking so doh fool yuhself in ah setting like that anyone could get carried away D man aint no saint and so are U .
says ... on Tuesday, Jun 4 at 3:55 PM
if you all looking at in a "slack" way, then what allyuh have to say about the girl...ah set of one side minded people allyuh is in this country

- Description
The Gay Head Light, which is also called the Aquinnah Light, has been guarding Vineyard Sound and the southern route to Boston Harbor for over 200 years.
The original 47-foot octagonal wooden tower and light sat atop these cliffs from 1799 to 1856, when this 51-foot conical brick tower was built to house a new first-order Fresnel lens. In 1952 the Fresnel lens was replaced with an electric light, a Carslisle & Finch DCB-224 aero beacon, which flashes red and white, alternating every fifteen seconds. Boats at sea can spot this beacon from 20 nautical miles away.
A navigational light was placed here because there is an underwater ledge, called Devil's Bridge, extending out to sea from the Aquinnah Cliffs. The shoal is treacherous and has been responsible for many shipwrecks, including the destruction of the side-paddle steamer City of Columbus which sank here in 1884 while it was on its way from Boston to Savannah. With over 100 lives lost, the wreck of the City of Columbus is one of New England's worst maritime disasters.
The name Gay Head originated from the gaily colored clay cliffs that are seen rising up hundreds of feet above the sea when approaching Martha's Vineyard from the west. The land around the light, including the cliffs and the beach below, belongs to the Wampanoag Tribe, and the cliffs play an important part in Wampanoag tradition. In 1998, the nearby town of Gay Head was renamed Aquinnah to reflect the heritage of the Wampanoag people. With the renaming of the town, the light is now also known as the Aquinnah Light.
These colorful cliffs are fragile. No one is allowed to climb them or to touch the clay. The waves pounding the shore have eroded the cliffs, and during rough seas the nearby ocean turns red. You can see signs of erosion on the cliffs and on the beach below.
Martha's Vineyard Museum maintains the Gay Head Light. This lighthouse is open to the public with tours available during specified times from mid-June to mid-September. You can see the original Gay Head Fresnel lens and its clockwork mechanism displayed year round at Martha's Vineyard Museum in Edgartown.
The 16 images of this panorama were photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and stitched with Autopano Giga.

Jorge Ben Jor
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1940, Ben took up bossa nova guitar playing after hearing João Gilberto but found the style too complex to execute. This led to his developing his own approach to the bossa nova that focused on playing the guitar as one would a bass -- his early recordings are in fact bass-less. His first big hit as a singer/songwriter came at the age of 23 with "Mas, Que Nada." The song's subtle bossa nova groove proved so seductive that it was quickly covered by a number of Brazilian artists, most successfully by Sergio Mendes. During the military dictatorship's cultural crackdown in the late '60s Ben, whose music wasn't scrutinized as rigorously as that of tropicalistas like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, was able to perform without too much trouble into the early '70s. Still, he felt the long arm of Brazilian censorship when a 1971 performance was stopped in midsong because censors felt as though Ben's backup singers were dancing too suggestively.
It was from the late '60s to mid-'70s that Ben established himself as a songwriting force within Brazil. Over the next ten to 15 years he expanded his reach, with varying success, to Europe and America (he's more popular in Europe than America). In 1989 he released the album Benjor, simultaneously announcing that he was changing his last name to Benjor. During that same time period Ben realized his dream of working with prominent African musicians when he collaborated with Nigeria's King Sunny Ade, and also was represented on an anthology of Brazilian music compiled by former Talking Head David Byrne. Although not as politically radical as many of his contemporaries, Ben proved that in certain contexts and under unusually repressive restraint, music takes on a radical political dimension. ~ John Dougan, Rovi

been thinking about drawing distant objects, zbuf depth, z fighting, far clip plane values, etc.
in one of my projects, i've gone to 24 bit zbuf and far plane of 1000 to draw distant clouds with no z fighting in the scene.
but i'd like to do things with 16 bit zbuf if possible, for maximum compatibility.
I'm targeting baseline PC's for maximum compatibility.
i'd do 32 bit zbuf, but my test rig doesn't support it at high resolution (on board graphics chip only).
so i guess the first question is, should i worry about supporting 16bit zbuf, or can i design around a guaranteed minimum of 24 bit being available?
if i should worry about 16 bit, then i was thinking of trying a 2 pass approach:
thoughts? suggestions? anyone tried this?
it does cost an extra 2 set_projection_matrix calls, and one extra clear_zbuf call over the normal single pass with non-changing projection matrix.

The requirements for the major in psychology ensure that students receive broad-based training in the discipline, while also allowing students the autonomy to select courses that fit their interests and educational goals. There are specific required courses that all majors must take, and then students are presented with different groupings of courses from which they choose one or more courses per group. This enables students to tailor their programs to either graduate school expectations or specific career opportunities.
Many students choose to combine psychology as one component of an interdisciplinary major. In this instance, students take a specific number of required courses, and choose several others with the guidance of their advisors. A popular combination is the biology/psychology interdisciplinary major. This combination is often chosen by those students who would like to eventually pursue medical school, graduate school in health psychology, or a career in research.

We've discussed before that the U.S. does have higher mortality rates that don't measure up to countries with nationalized health care.
This article talks about waiting times and treatment in various countries with nationalized health care and compares them to the same in the U.S.
What surprises me in this is that if US residents receive care sooner, then why are mortality rates not commensurately in line. Or maybe the difference in life spans is more related to lifestyle than to the health care access?
Once again, it is worth noting that those countries with nationalized health care are finding, in the long run, that those that can afford to turn to privatized care where the govt system falls short ... and the govts of those countries find it worthwhile to allow that to continue.And, gradually, Europeans are circumventing their systems. Half a million Swedes now use private insurance, up from 100,000 a decade ago. Almost two-thirds of Brits earning more than $78,700 have done the same. But what might really surprise those who assert the excellence of nationalized insurance systems is that throughout Europe, from Britain to Denmark to Sweden, when faced with their inability to deliver timely access, the governments solution is increasingly to enable access to private health care.

- How to Read a Study Record
The Congenital Muscle Disease Patient and Proxy Reported Outcome Study (CMDPROS) is a longitudinal 10 year study to identify and trend care parameters, adverse events in the congenital muscle diseases using the Congenital Muscle Disease International Registry (CMDIR). The CMDIR registers individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy, congenital myopathy and extends to the limb girdle and late onset spectrum for both disease groups. The CMDIR was created to identify the global congenital muscle disease population for the purpose of raising awareness, standards of care, clinical trials and in the future a treatment or cure. The registry includes demographic, disease specific and diagnostic questions. Key care parameters are surveyed longitudinally by proxy and/or patient report, confirmed by medical records. Genetic reports are curated by a board certified genetic counselor with support provided to families to pursue molecular confirmation through referrals to national centers of excellence.
Study hypothesis:
- To use patient and proxy reported survey answers and medical reports to build a longitudinal care and outcomes database across the congenital muscle diseases.
- To generate congenital muscle disease subtype specific adverse event rates and correlate with key care parameters.

congenital muscle disease
The congenital muscle diseases include both congenital muscular dystrophy and congenital myopathy across the limb girdle and late onset spectrum. For data collection and analysis, subtype specific reports will be generated. True incidence of congenital muscular dystrophy and congenital myopathy is unknown. Current incidence and prevalence numbers for the congenital muscular dystrophies are based on a 1996 Italian population survey prior to molecular diagnostic testing with incidence (1/21,500) and prevalence (1/125,000).
Detailed Description:
The Congenital Muscle Disease Patient and Proxy Reported Outcome Study (CMDPROS) is a longitudinal 10 year observational study to identify care and trend key care parameters and adverse events in the congenital muscle diseases using the Congenital Muscle Disease International Registry (CMDIR). The CMDIR registers individuals with and without genetic confirmation who have been given a clinical diagnosis of congenital muscular dystrophy through limb girdle spectrum, and congenital myopathy through late onset spectrum. The CMDIR is currently translated into 5 languages: French, German, Spanish, English and Portuguese with plans to add Chinese, Italian, Danish and Japanese.
Identifying care parameters and adverse events in the rare genetic neuromuscular diseases can be difficult. Care is fragmented, genetic confirmation may not be prioritized by the medical community or covered by medical insurance and patients are scattered globally with potential challenges aggregating data across centers. Natural history studies are currently being launched. However, potential biases to participation include recruitment of the less severely affected patients given difficulty traveling secondary to a medically fragile condition. There is currently no treatment for these conditions; though optimizing and standardizing care and care delivery can promote significant gains in quality of life and survival. Identifying disease specific care parameters and correlating those parameters with adverse event rates will not only contribute to the development of evidence based guidelines but inform clinically meaningful outcomes for future clinical trials.
Study hypothesis:
- To use patient and proxy reported survey answers and medical reports to build a longitudinal care and outcomes database across the congenital muscle diseases.
- To generate congenital muscle disease subtype specific adverse event rates and correlate with key care parameters.
Primary outcome is survival measured from date of birth to date of death. Primary outcome will be analyzed by congenital muscle disease subtype and maximal ambulatory status achieved.
Secondary outcomes include disease specific adverse event rates including rates of hospitalization, rates of antibiotic use, rates of pulmonary infections, pneumothorax, atelectasis, aspiration and adverse complaints including bloating, constipation, chest pain, dyspnea assessed by a validated breathing assessment, vomiting and nausea and difficulty eating. Patient and proxy hospitalization, pneumothorax and atelectasis reports will be confirmed by obtaining hospital discharge summaries. Additional secondary outcomes include ejection fraction (relevance subtype specific), forced vital capacity in liters, weight, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep apnea hypopnea index and mean oxygen saturation during REM and total sleep study, age, gender, type of treatment center location (national referral center, tertiary care hospital, community hospital), gastrostomy tube, total number of fractures and Tscore/Zscore of hip and spine on DEXA scans.
Preliminary studies may focus on specific congenital muscle disease subtypes and use retrospective data collection through registry, survey monkey and telephone interviews to assess adverse event rates over last month and last year to limit recall bias. Prospective enrollment of same study participants over 12 months will assess monthly rates of adverse events and complaints. A preliminary study, CMD PROADE (Patient and Proxy Reported ADverse Event Rates) is planned in 2 congenital muscular dystrophy subtypes: Collagen 6 Myopathy and LAMA 2 Related CMD.
De-identified data from CMDIR will be made available for IRB approved natural history studies in the congenital muscle diseases.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dan Mullen liked what he saw out of his Mississippi State team leading up to the Gator Bowl two years ago. He likes what he's seen this past week even more.
The Bulldogs hammered Michigan in the 2011 game, 52-14, after what Mullen called a week of good focus in practice.
"I think our focus has been better this week than it was two years ago, overall focus while we've been at practice," Mullen said Monday. "But our coaches and seniors have understood that and done a great job of keeping that attention of our team – when it's time to work, we work."
As with any bowl week, players have had a chance to have fun off the field, including team excursions to the beach and a local entertainment venue. Senior cornerback Johnthan Banks said he's "100 percent" ready.
"We wouldn't want to let our team come down here as a team and embarrass ourselves," he said. "And we know how coach is about coming back and having fun and not going to work; this is a business trip, we've come here to play football, we haven't come here to party around.
"We came here to win a football game."
MSU has been preparing without Melvin Smith, the cornerbacks coach who left for the same job at Auburn the day before State arrived here. Banks said there have been no ill effects at practice.
In fact, Banks said, "I've probably had the best week of practice since I've been at Mississippi State."
Resilient Wildcats
Northwestern's three losses this season – to Penn State, Michigan and Nebraska – came by a total of 18 points. Coach Pat Fitzgerald said his team played its best games after each of those losses.
"This team has been incredibly resilient," he said. "We've had some very difficult setbacks throughout the course of the year as far as on-the-field results. We've come back the next week and had our best focus and our best preparation and then played some pretty darn good football teams."
After the losses, Northwestern defeated Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan State respectively. After beating Michigan State, the Wildcats finished the regular season strong with a 50-14 whipping of rival Illinois.
Fitzgerald believes his team has good momentum heading into today's game.
"We set a goal to put an exclamation point on the season, and down the stretch, outside of a really tough game that we ended up on the short end up in Ann Arbor, that's one little hiccup in the road where we finished as strong as maybe any of the teams I've coached," Fitzgerald said.
Ready for cowbells
MSU fans are allowed to bring cowbells into EverBank Field today, but they have been asked to abide by the SEC's policy set forth for home games. That means fans should only ring when the ball isn't in play.
Enforcing the policy is another matter. Fitzgerald called the cowbells a "great tradition" and doesn't expect his players to be distracted by them.
"We have crowd noise and just absolutely terrible music that plays every day from warmup all the way through the end of practice," he said with a smile. "We think we've prepared our guys for any sort of distractions that may happen in an arena based on bad music on a day-to-day basis."

Women have made important contributions to the advancement in research and development. Despite an increase in the overall number of researchers over time in Asia and the Pacific, men have consistently outnumbered women. In addition, fewer women pursue science-related education than men. As the role of technology, science and innovation is emphasized in achieving the sustainable development goals beyond 2015, it is important to unlock the potential of women in these areas in order for them to make even greater contribution to the betterment of the humankind.
Afghanistan needs to capitalize on the potential for greater trade with its Central Asian neighbours, especially given the current headwinds facing the Afghan economy. Particular promise exists for: energy trade; transit trade linking Central Asia with South Asia; and trade among border communities. However, at present trade relations are extremely limited and significant barriers to further integration remain including tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as transport and connectivity issues.
This issue of the Trade Insights series provides analysis of notifications submitted as part of the preparation for the implementation under the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement. Fifteen economies in the Asia-Pacific region have already submitted Category A notifications, i.e., the list of substantive provisions they have either already implemented or are committed to implement by the time the Agreement enters into force.
This report comes from the Asian and Pacific Conference on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Beijing+20 Review, 17-20 November 2014, Bangkok.
The current paper provides a review of natural disasters and their impacts in Asia and the Pacific by disaster type, subregion and level of development. The first section looks at the occurrence of natural disaster events. This is followed by an analysis of fatalities and economic loss in sections two and three respectively. The short-term consequences of natural disasters on the economy are also mentioned. The final section briefly discusses aspects regarding exposure and vulnerability of countries in Asia and the Pacific.
This issue of the Trade Insights series identifies Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs with export-portfolios and economies which are at greatest risk from the recent collapse in global commodity prices. Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs account for less than 2% of global commodity exports and just 7% of Asia-Pacific commodity exports; however many these economies have export-portfolios which are highly concentrated in one or two major commodities: mainly crude oil, natural gas, aluminum, iron ore/steel, cotton and copper.
Migration has economic, social, environmental and political implications in both countries of origin and destination. There is growing recognition that policy interventions which foster a link between migration and decent employment can promote sustainable development. However, across Asia and the Pacific there is a lack of high-quality migration statistics which form the foundation for designing, monitoring and evaluating policies. Without detailed, disaggregated migration statistics it is impossible to determine the costs versus the benefits of migration-related policy interventions.
This study on "Disasters in Asia and the Pacific: 2014 Year in review", developed by the Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division of ESCAP, provides an overview of natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific region and its impacts. Although there were no major disasters in 2014, over half of the world's natural disasters occurred in the region. Hydro-meteorological hazards were the most frequent, causing most fatalities and economic losses.
Water is vital to human lives, as well as fundamental to all development issues. Asia and the Pacific are facing serious challenges both in terms of the quantity and quality of water in sustaining its long term economic growth prospects and achieving sustainable development.
The "Quick Guide for Policy Makers on Pro-Poor Urban Climate Resilience in Asia and the Pacific" focuses on the need to enhance understanding of the region's key urban stakeholders on climate change, discusses how it affects efforts to realize sustainable urban development, and explores what actions can be taken to synergize continued commitments to poverty reduction alongside urban climate resilience.

Where should I get my fish from?
I live in Greenock and have been to Dobbies Garden Centre and Waterworld Aquatics in Glasgow. Has anyone bought fish from there, and if so, were they okay? If you have been to a really good aquatics store and bought fish, would you let me know what it was called?
I don't want do buy from somewhere like Pets at Home as I had a bad expierence buying from there.
Please help if you can and thanks in advance!

As far as iraq, when did they attack us. I found an article that even the conservatives felt it was a mistake to go to war with Iraq.Conservatives Against a War with Iraqby Rep. John J. Duncan
March 6, 2003
Most people do not realize how many conservatives are against going to war in Iraq.
A strong majority of nationally-syndicated conservative columnists have come out against this war. Just three of many examples I could give include the following:
Charley Reese, a staunch conservative, who was selected a couple of years ago as the favorite columnist of C-Span viewers, wrote that a U.S. attack on Iraq: "is a prescription for the decline and fall of the American empire. Overextension urged on by a bunch of rabid intellectuals who wouldn't know one end of a gun from another has doomed many an empire. Just let the United States try to occupy the Middle East, which will be the practical result of a war against Iraq, and Americans will be bled dry by the costs in both blood and treasure."
Paul Craig Roberts, who was one of the highest-ranking Treasury Department officials under President Reagan and now a nationally-syndicated conservative columnist, wrote: "an invasion of Iraq is likely the most thoughtless action in modern history."
James Webb, a hero in Vietnam and President Reagan's Secretary of the Navy, wrote: "The issue before us is not whether the United States should end the regime of Saddam Hussein, but whether we as a nation are prepared to occupy territory in the Middle East for the next 30 to 50 years."
It is a traditional conservative position to be against huge deficit spending.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that a very short war followed by a five-year occupation of Iraq would cost the U.S. $272 billion, this on top of an estimated $350 billion deficit for the coming fiscal year.
It is a traditional conservative position to be against the U.S. being the policeman of the world. That is exactly what we will be doing if we go to war in Iraq.
It is a traditional conservative position to be against world government, because conservatives believe that government is less wasteful and arrogant when it is small and closer to the people.
It is a traditional conservative position to be critical of, skeptical about, even opposed to the very wasteful, corrupt United Nations, yet the primary justification for this war, what we hear over and over again, is that Iraq has violated 16 U.N. resolutions.
Well, other nations have violated U.N. resolutions, yet we have not threatened war against them.
It is a traditional conservative position to believe it is unfair to U.S. taxpayers and our military to put almost the entire burden of enforcing U.N. resolutions on the U.S., yet that is exactly what will happen in a war against Iraq.
In fact, it is already happening, because even if Hussein backs down now it will cost us billions of dollars in war preparations and moving so many of our troops, planes, ships, and equipment to the Middle East.
It is a traditional conservative position to be against huge foreign aid, which has been almost a complete failure for many years now.
Talk about huge foreign aid Turkey is demanding $26 to $32 billion according to most reports. Israel wants $12 to $15 billion additional aid. Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia want additional aid in unspecified amounts.
Almost every country that is supporting the U.S. in this war effort wants something in return. The cost of all these requests have not been added in to most of the war cost calculations.
All this to fight a bad man who has a total military budget of about $1.4 billion, less than 3/10 of one percent of ours.
The White House said Hussein has less than 40% of the weaponry and manpower that he had at the time of the first Gulf War. One analyst estimated only about 20%.
His troops surrendered then to camera crews or even in one case to an empty tank. Hussein has been weakened further by years of bombing and economic sanctions and embargos.
He is an evil man, but he is no threat to us, and if this war comes about, it will probably be one of the shortest and certainly one of the most lopsided wars in history.
Our own CIA put out a report just a few days before our War Resolution vote saying that Hussein was so weak economically and militarily he was really not capable of attacking anyone unless forced into it. He really controls very little outside the city of Baghdad.
The Washington Post, two days ago, had a column by Al Kamen which said: "The war in Iraq, likely in the next few weeks, is not expected to last long, given the overwhelming U.S. firepower to be arrayed against the Iraqis. But the trickier job may be in the aftermath, when Washington plans to install an administrator, or viceroy, who would direct postwar reconstruction of the place."
Fortune magazine said: "Iraq We win. What then?" "A military victory could turn into a strategic defeat. . . . A prolonged, expensive, American-led occupation . . . could turn U.S. troops into sitting ducks for Islamic terrorists. . . . All of that could have immediate and negative consequences for the global economy."
Not only have most conservative columnists come out strongly against this war, but also at least four conservative magazines and two conservative think tanks.
One conservative Republican member of the other Body (Sen. Hagel) said last week that the "rush to war in Iraq could backfire" and asked: "We are wrecking coalitions, relationships and alliances so we can get a two-week start on going to war alone?"
The Atlantic Monthly magazine said we would spend so much money in Iraq we might as well make it the 51st state. I believe most conservatives would rather that money be spent here instead of 7,000 miles away.
It is a traditional conservative position to be in favor of a strong national defense, not one that turns our soldiers into international social workers, and to believe in a noninterventionist foreign policy rather than in globalism or internationalism.
We should be friends with all nations, but we will weaken our own nation, maybe irreversibly unless we follow the more humble foreign policy the President advocated in his campaign.
Finally, it is very much against every conservative tradition to support preemptive war.
Another member of the other Body, the Senator from West Virginia, Senator Byrd, not a conservative but certainly one with great knowledge of and respect for history and tradition said recently:
"This is no simple attempt to defang a villain. No. This coming battle, if it materializes, represents a turning point in U.S. foreign policy and possibly a turning point in the recent history of the world. This nation is about to embark upon the first test of the revolutionary doctrine applied in an extraordinary way at an unfortunate time. The doctrine of preemption the idea that the United States or any other nation can legitimately attack a nation that is not imminently threatening but may be threatening in the future is a radical new twist on the traditional idea of self-defense."
The columnist William Raspberry, again not a conservative but one who sometimes takes conservative positions, wrote this week these words: "Why so fast. Because Hussein will stall the same way he's been stalling for a dozen years. A dozen years, by the way, during which he has attacked no one, gassed no one, launched terror attacks on no one. Tell me its because of American pressure that he has stayed his hand, and I say great. Isn't that better than a U.S.-launched war guaranteed to engender massive slaughter and spread terrorism?"
Throughout these remarks, I have said not one word critical of the President or any of his advisors or anyone on the other side of this issue.
I especially have not and will not criticize the fine men and women in our Nation's armed forces. They are simply following orders and attempting to serve this country in an honorable way.
Conservatives are generally not the types who participate in street demonstrations, especially ones led by people who say mean-spirited things about our President. But I do sincerely believe the true conservative position, the traditional conservative position is against this war.
Looks like much of what "the conservatives predicted came true and this was before the war in Iraq started.
Count me in on the contribution for Perry's one way ticket out of our great country. Anything else I say about Perry might be considered UNCIVIL. It's nice to see I'm not the only one sick and tired of his anti American rhetoric. I originally thought Pakistan would be a good place for him to go but on second thought Kenya would probably be more appropriate.
I'm still trying to figure out why an adult would post "The Magic Gopher" on the RTF web site. My 7 year old Grandson and his friends were playing with that about a year ago. What's next, Sponge Bob? Sad.

The US is a signatory to the Geneva Convention. Which makes torture a war crime. Ignoring that takes us to the moral low ground. What good is our word, the US signature on a treaty? Worthless?
To those that say," yeah, I'm good with that." Well, then you are equally good with our servicemen being tortured.
The info that led to the couriers came from many different sources. In regards to KSM. He was asked about the courier which he vaguely replied he knew him but the courier was not important. By his deception, it alerted the interrogators the courier was indeed important.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: MRI Me ASAP
The timber option didn't thrill me. It was too iffy. The bushwhack scenario also had failure written all over it. So, I decided to stick with the original plan, hoping I could yelp in the breeding flock or attract the 7 a.m. gobbler.
And believe it or not, it worked. Within five minutes, a longbeard appeared at the corner of the pasture and surveyed the field. I gave him some soft calling, and he slowly walked toward the decoy. At 35 steps, he got suspicious and held his head high, but it was too late. Winchester's finest echoed through the valley, capping the hunt.
"You were right," I told my buddy, who had been watching the field from a nearby ridge. "He was there by 7 a.m."
"Yeah, and I'm glad," he replied. "If he wouldn't have shown up, I'd be kickin' you for not going after that bird on the other side."
What decision did you make?

A quick, easy and elegant way to enjoy the flavors of fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese, capers and bell peppers.
Capers are flower buds from the Mediterranean caper bush. These small buds are picked, dried in the sun and pickled in vinegar brine. They make great additions to salads and appetizers, such as this bruschetta.
Use 1 cup chopped tomatoes instead of the roasted peppers and chopped fresh basil leaves instead of the parsley for another great appetizer idea.

Manly are plotting to storm Melbourne's fortress and seize the mantle as the NRL's new super powers in Friday night's heavyweight preliminary final at AAMI Park.
The decade's most dominant forces will collide in a high-stakes encounter, the reward a shot at premiership glory and bragging rights as the NRL's most successful club.
Renewing their bitter finals rivalry, Melbourne and Manly are clashing in the playoffs for the first time since the Storm belted the Sea Eagles 40-12 in the 2009 qualifying final.
A year earlier, Manly buried the Storm 40-0 in the 2008 title mismatch at ANZ Stadium to avenge a 34-8 loss to Melbourne in the 2007 decider.
Now the Eagles are bidding to become the NRL's first triple premiers while the Storm could have been seeking their fourth title if they had not had two stripped for salary cap cheating.
Fittingly, the sides have split their past 10 matches.
But while the Eagles hold an 8-5 edge in clashes in Sydney since the Storm entered the league in 1998, conquering Melbourne on home soil has proven an altogether different proposition.
Manly have won only twice in nine matches in Melbourne and lost their only previous clash at AAMI Park - in round one last year.
"It is tougher playing them down there," admitted star five-eighth Kieran Foran.
"They always turn up. We're going to need to be at the top of our game."
Foran, 22, hasn't forgotten his finals debut in '09 - when the Storm ripped his side apart to end Manly's season before going on to win the premiership, which was later stripped for salary cap breaches.
But Sea Eagles skipper Jamie Lyon is confident of qualifying for the club's fourth grand final in six seasons - a tally to match the Storm's dream run from 2006-09 - and says they are relishing the challenge.
"We know it's going to be a tough ask going down there. It's always hard," Lyon said.
"But if you want to be the No.1 team, you've got to beat everyone and we can't wait."
While Lyon completed the entire game after being in doubt for last Friday night's 22-12 semi-final win over North Queensland, his co-captain Jason King is a new fitness concern after lasting only 27 minutes before succumbing to a shoulder injury.

Happy Ides of March
For goodness' sake, don't pick today to have a Caesar salad – especially if your name is Julius.
Irish luck ain't Blarney
Sunday's upcoming holiday reminds me that on our first St. Patrick's Day as a married couple, I awoke early, brushed my teeth, then shook my wife and teased, "Kiss me; I'm Irish!"
She looked at me groggily, noted the Germanic surname I'd shared with her, and teased back that her kisses that day were reserved for those with roots in the Emerald Isle.
"You're not Irish," she asserted.
A quick review of pertinent facts cured that misconception.
"In case you've forgotten, I have freckles, green eyes and a red beard. I also have a bunch of redheaded aunts and uncles and cousins," I reminded her. "Beyond that, one of my grandmothers was a Cork, and the other was a Kelley. Now, woman – Kiss me; I'm Irish!"
She did. And several times since.
Talk about luck of the Irish.
From Blarney to Baloney
All since the beginning of this year:
A 7-year-old Anne Arundel County, Md., schoolboy was suspended for chewing his toaster pastry into a shape that his terrified teacher deemed a gun.
In Alexandria, Va., a 10-year-old boy in Alexandria, Va., was arrested for merely showing a busmate a toy gun.
An 8-year-old boy from Prince William County, Va., was suspended for pointing his finger at a classmate.
A 5-year-old girl in Mount Carmel, Pa., was suspended and accused of making "terroristic threats" for saying she would shoot a classmate and herself with a pink "Hello Kitty" bubble gun – a toy that she didn't even have with her.
These cases prove that the students at each of the schools involved are in grave peril – not because the behavior of any of these children presented a clear and present danger, but because the cases reveal that those schools are totally devoid of any adult supervision.
The Ideas of March
Mississippi State University has instituted a three-year degree program in 23 majors "to allow highly motivated and hard-working students" to complete their degrees one year early, which could be a financial boon by saving living expenses and even some tuition and by letting them get into the workforce sooner.
"We believe there is a strong demand for this type of program," said Provost Jerry Gilbert. "As the process of higher education continues to evolve, innovative nontraditional strategies are necessary to empower students and deliver opportunity."
It'll take students with pluck to accomplish it, but as a taxpayer and as one who (metaphorically) shot himself in the foot by finishing college in a mere six years, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea.

I am wondering about whether to get Linux certification, and how valuable it would be. Not valuable as "marketable" but valuable personally.
Anyway, I wonder if it would differ from MS certification in the way that really counts - would it be "grey" knowledge or "green" knowledge?
I would call "grey" any knowledge that is arbitrary facts you just have to remember. Eg. which menu option to choose to do a word count, what year a certain battle took place, how to conjugate an irregular verb. The facts may be useful as they are, but that's all they are.
"Green" knowledge reflects an underlying reality, and can grow by interlinking with other things, related or otherwise, to contribute to a deeper understanding. Not just how things are, but WHY. E.g. how to use pipes to filter text files (including getting a word count), what influences caused a battle to take place, how conjugation of regular verbs works and which verbs to expect to be irregular.
So, would Linux certification leave me with a better mental map of OS design and good practice, or just a head full of "how to install Red Hat"?

Getting a mailing-list archive URL from a Message-ID
It happens often to me: I am reading a mailing list on mutt and I want to send a pointer to the message to somebody.
I always wanted to be able to press a key on mutt, and a script would query mailing list archives and find a URL for the message on a mailing list archive. Today I have found this to be possible. Gmane has a "Message-Id" URL format tha allows you to do it. Just point to http://mid.gmane.org/<message-id> and it will redirect to the message on the archives, if it is present.
Now, getting a URL for a mailing list message is as simple as piping the message from mutt to this small script:
#!/bin/bash mid="$(grep -m 1 -i ^Message-ID: | cut -d: -f2 | sed -e 's/^ *//')" kfmclient openURL 'http://mid.gmane.org/'"$mid"
And this can be bound this to a keystroke under mutt by simply using something like this on .muttrc:
macro pager U "
There are other mailing list archives with similar features. But they are more specific to some mailing lists, so they are not as comprehensive as Gmane. Some examples:
- http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/message-id/<message-id> (for KernelTrap mailing list archives)
- http://www.red-bean.com/threadfind (mostly Subversion-related mailing lists)

Well we have had a couple of sightings of a dog we think is Justen the last two Sundays. He has moved areas, and seems to be circling around and trying to head home. After getting her hopes up, Jeanette thought it was actually a neighbor's dog, but the guy who has seen Justen (also a dog owner) says at first he thought it was the neighbors B&W herding dog, but it definitely is not. He is going to start taking a leash with him. He is getting very close to houses.
Darn you Justen! Let the guy catch you! (The longer he stays out, the more I worry about him getting hurt).

This Saint Lucia's inspired crown like coffee cake is an absolutely delightful dessert, especially on celebratory occasions!
Saint Lucia Buns: After deflating dough, cut dough into pieces, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll each piece into 12-inch rope; form into tightly coiled S shape. Place a raisin in center of each coil. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with softened butter or margarine. Cover and let rise in warm place about 45 minutes or until double in size. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. About 1 1/2 dozen buns.
Saint Lucia Day is the Swedish holiday celebrated December 13. Saint Lucia, a beautiful maiden, wore a crown of candles to help light the way when she carried food to Christian martyrs hiding in caves from persecution. Since then, Saint Lucia Day is celebrated by having the oldest daughter be the first to rise and bring buns to all who are sleeping in the household.

Tibetan research is conference focus
Posted February 27, 2008; 10:39 p.m.
An interdisciplinary conference, "Art History, Buddhist Studies, Tibet: New Perspectives From the Tibet Site Seminar," will be held Friday through Sunday, March 7-9, in 101 McCormick Hall.
The conference will open at 4:30 p.m. March 7 with a keynote address, "A Translational Methodology: Toward a Study of Tibetan Art History," by art historian Deborah Klimburg-Salter of the University of Vienna. The weekend sessions will focus on research stemming from a one-month seminar for doctoral students conducted in 2007 by Stephen F. Teiser, Princeton's D.T. Suzuki Professor in Buddhist Studies. The seminar in Tibet, which was long inaccessible to scholars, offered unprecedented opportunities for researchers to explore its treasures and expand the study of Buddhism and Tibetan culture.
The conference is sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion and the Tang Center for East Asian Art. It also is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, which sponsored the Tibet site seminar.

For Katchor, who's better known for such graphic novels as The Jew of New York and Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, such a life as Abe's has resonance. "I can identify with it," says the New York–based artist whose work has been described (in the New York Times) as "Max Beckmann with dialogue balloons." "I collect old photographs, but for a long time I collected matchbox labels, mainly Indian matchbox labels." It's an interest in manmade objects that also pervades his books. "They're our history," he continues. "The more you read about history, the more you understand why everything is the way it is."
So when in 2004 Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum, which houses the brothers' collection, contacted Katchor (who had by then won an Obie Award for The Carbon Copy Building) to commission a project commemorating its 50th anniversary, he was intrigued. "I think they thought I'd do an illustrated book of some kind. I'd already started doing these music-theater shows, so I said as a public event and a celebration I thought a theater piece would be a better idea. There's a library filled with books, so another book . . . " Besides, he says, theater can be seen as an extension of his graphic novels. (His pictures will be projected as part of the set.) "Comic strips are this combination of text and image, a graphic representation of an earlier form of theater. It's all one big tradition, except the means of delivery have changed."
Still, turning a life story into a performance piece had its challenges. "I mainly write fiction, so when somebody's life has to be boiled down to a two-hour story, it's a different kind of story." The key was Rosenbach's obsessive nature. "How does the obsessive need to own these things affect people's lives? What lengths will they go to? That's the thing we learn at the end, that this man went through this incredibly tortured life, struggling with his brother and drinking and his own obsession to have these books. And now he's dead and it [his collection] is a library and anyone can go in and look at these books that he killed himself to put together."
He concludes, "There should be a warning notice. Or maybe no warning is needed, because everybody understands."On the Web

Deeplinks Blog posts about National Security Letters
Canada's online surveillance bill may be on hold for now, but a recent news article confirms that a rather formidable figure has been angling for its return: Richard Fadden, head of the Canadian equivalent of the FBI. Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), wrote in a letter that the highly contentious Bill C-30 was "vital" to protecting national security. The letter was sent to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, the driver behind Bill C-30, in late February. It was released to the Canadian Press in response to a request filed under the Access to Information Act.
Since the first national security letter statute was passed in 1986, the FBI has issued hundreds of thousands of such letters seeking private telecommunications and financial records of Americans without any prior approval from courts. Indeed, for the period between 2003 and 2006 alone, almost 200,000 requests for private customer information were sought pursuant to various NSL statutes. Prior to 2011, the constitutionality of this legal authority to investigate the records of Americans without court oversight had been challenged in court -- as far as we know -- exactly one time.
Ten Years After the Patriot Act, a Look at Three of the Most Dangerous Provisions Affecting Ordinary Americans
Ten years ago today, in the name of protecting national security and guarding against terrorism, President George W. Bush signed into law some of the most sweeping changes to search and surveillance law in modern American history. Unfortunately known as the USA PATRIOT Act, many of its provisions incorporate decidedly unpatriotic principles barred by the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution. Provisions of the PATRIOT Act have been used to target innocent Americans and are widely used in investigations that have nothing to do with national security.
EFF just received documents that reveal additional post-9/11 Defense Department misconduct, including attempts by the Army to investigate participants at a conference on Islamic law at the University of Texas Law School and Army-issued National Security Letters (NSLs) to telecommunications providers in violation of the law.
This week marks the seventh annual Sunshine Week, a national initiative to promote dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. As our little way to celebrate, EFF has recently posted nearly nine thousand pages of government documents to our site. For the majority of these documents, many of which were previously classified, this is the first time these files have been added to the public domain. The documents were all obtained in conjunction with EFF's FOIA Litigation for Accountable Government (FLAG) Project, which aims to expose the government's expanding use of new technologies and to protect civil liberties by increasing government transparency.
The trove of documents include:

'Human prejudice' explored in talk, Oct. 15
Posted October 15, 2002; 07:14 a.m.
Eminent philosopher Bernard Williams will speak on "The Human Prejudice" at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, in McCosh 50.
Williams, who divides his time between professorships at Oxford University and the University of California-Berkeley, is considered one of the most influential voices in contemporary moral philosophy. He is the author of books on Plato and Descartes as well as a volume titled "Making Sense of Humanity."
In describing his lecture, Williams said, "Many people think that 'humanity' is an ethical idea, and that it makes a basic moral difference whether a creature they are dealing with is another human being or not.... Some philosophers attack this outlook as a prejudice, similar to racism or sexism. I shall argue that their view is based on a deep misconception, which itself involves an attempt to project human attitudes onto the universe."
Williams' talk is designated as the Walter Edge Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series . It will be Webcast; viewing information is available online .

Thanks. I haven't opened mine yet and I'll do some cost-savings.
Thanks. I haven't opened mine yet and I'll do some cost-savings.
I went to TRU to pick some deluxes for cost savings.
All that was left for deluxes were 3 Sideways. Just yesterday, pegs were full with Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Sideways, Brawl, Rampage, Skids.
So if I already purchased these from Wal-Mart (and have my receipt), I can take the receipt and get back the difference that I overspent?
Obviously, I can just buy them again at TRU and return them to Wal-Mart with my receipt, but this does make for less work if Wal-Mart honors that.
Also, I can look at Wal-Mart's sale on Star Trek figures.
This morning I bought:
(To go with Human Alliance wave): Chromia and Wheelie.
(To go with Leader / some Voyager / Deluxe wave): Skids, Soundwave
I'm not altogether sure how all the scales will work out. I know it's not important to some people - they're just cool toys to those of you who appreciate them like that.
But scale is very important to me.
I bought the figures again at TRU for the savings and will return other items to Wal-Mart and Target.
Amazingly, I save $43 and change. That's like a FREE Leader Class figure!
But I spent that much anyway on a customized batting helmet for baseball - mine has to have the San Diego Padres logo on it.
OK so I worked my scenes out for how I'll display my new ROTF Transformers. No movie spoilers....
1) Mudflap / Skids Ice Cream Truck (deluxe combiner?), Del Knock Out, Del Sideways
3) Human Alliance BumbleBee (w. Sam), Human Alliance Skids (w. Mikaela), Deluxe Wheelie (unless they make a Legends Wheelie)
4) Leader Optimus Prime, Leader Jetfire, Leader Megatron, Leader Starscream (2010), Voyager Demolisher, Voyager Ironhide, Voyager Ratchet, Del BumbleBee, Del Skids, Del Mudflap, Del Sideswipe, Del Rampage, Leader Fallen (hopefully)
I picked up Skids yesterday at Target. Haven't opened him yet.

I want (released):
Leader Jetfire
Leader Starscream
Leader Fallen (not even rumored)
Voyager Long Haul
Voyager Mixmaster
Voyager Scrapper (not even rumored)
Deluxe Scavenger (not even rumored)
A combining Devastator with transforming individual parts made up of Deluxe figures. (Definitely not rumored)
Scout Wheelie (not even rumored)
Scout Arcee (not even rumored)
Scout Chromia (not even rumored)
There's no way I am buying that $100 Devastator set. Hasbro should have known better that collectors/fans would want a set that actually can transform.

Binghamton University professor wins major staff development book award
A book written by Marilyn Tallerico, professor in the School of Education at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has received the Staff Development Book of the Year award from the National Staff Development Council (NSDC). Titled Supporting and Sustaining Teachers' Professional Development: A Principal's Guide, the book, published in 2005 by Corwin Press, was recently honored during the council's annual conference.
The award recognizes a book that makes a significant contribution to the field of staff development, and considers criteria such as significance and usefulness to practitioners, quality of design, and relevance of research and recommendations.
Supporting and Sustaining Teachers' Professional Development specifically targets busy school principals who want practical suggestions on how to balance everyday administrative tasks while encouraging teachers' professional growth.
"Tallerico empowers principals with the view that leaders expand their influence when they focus their attention on high-quality professional learning," said Dennis Sparks, executive director of NSDC.
Organized around three key elements of current NSDC national standards, the book shows new, veteran, and aspiring school leaders how to link teachers' professional development to student learning, retain highly qualified teachers, and ground school practices in sound research.
"Marilyn Tallerico's book has the potential to make a significant impact on the quality of K–12 education by bringing teachers' professional learning to the forefront of principals' responsibilities," said Robert D. Clouse, publisher and editorial director of Corwin Press.
"I'm honored that this book was judged to be significant and useful for staff developers, teacher leaders, and administrators," says Tallerico. "I'm also delighted to have my work join such an illustrious roster of former NSDC awardees, including Thomas Guskey, Linda Lambert, Michael Fullan, Linda Darling-Hammond, Roland Barth, Susan Loucks-Horsley, and others who have advanced the field of leadership for school improvement."
Tallerico is a professor of education at Binghamton University, where she teaches courses in supervision of instruction, professional development, politics and education, and curriculum leadership. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Staff Development as well as numerous other research and practitioner journals. She is widely published in the areas of the superintendency, gender, and educational leadership.
Her two prior books were City Schools: Leading the Way (1993) and Accessing the Superintendency: The Unwritten Rules (2000), the former coedited with Patrick B. Forsyth.

I mean, I am looking at it, and I just don't dig it for some reason. I almost would rather have the Ebau chrome exclusive Luke.
Anyone else thinks it's just not up to snuff with the rest of the minis? or am I crazy?
I keep thinking I ought to order it while it's available, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Also, the Obi Wan ATOC mini seems to be pretty hot right now, any idea what they're going for? I know where to get a couple at 34.95 at a store by my house...
just wondering.
