GLORY and CBS Sports Come to Agreement - Glory 7 Airing on Tape Delay
- Written by Dave Walsh
To those that have been asking about it, it looks like GLORY will once again show up on American airwaves as they will return to CBS Sports Network for the time being. That deal will be effective as of this weekend with GLORY 7 Milan, which takes place on Saturday but will air on tape delay early Sunday morning.
GLORY 8 Tokyo is also set to air on tape delay and it is unclear if we'll see live events on CBS Sports any time soon or if they'll continue the tape delay. It is also unclear for how long this agreement lasts or if it will be like the last one and only be for a few events and expire. The fact that GLORY 9 is set to go down in New York City and GLORY 10 is rumored for Los Angeles gives us hope for live GLORY on television here in the US, though.
This comes as a bit of a surprise as GLORY were in talks with other, larger networks before signing this deal with CBS Sports, but we do know that CBS Sports was very aggressive about bringing the GLORY brand into the fold for more events and looking fore more original content to air on the network.
For those that wish to watch GLORY 7 live, you can of course purchase the PPV through LiverKick.com or on GloryWorldSeries.com for $20.

Campus History
Columbia College-Fort Sill was established in 2007 to meet the higher education needs of the personnel at one of the Army's largest installations and to serve the civilian population in one of the state's most thriving and fastest growing cities.
Columbia College-Fort Sill is part of the college's extended network of more than 35 Nationwide Campuses across the country, including 18 on military bases.
Degree programs at the extended campuses vary. However, no matter which degree you pursue or which campus you attend, degree programs meet the same accreditation standards as degree programs from the main campus in Columbia, MO, as well as meet requirements set by the respective state education departments.Columbia College was founded in 1851 in Columbia, MO, as Christian Female College, the first women's college west of the Mississippi River to be chartered by state legislature. In 1970, the college was renamed Columbia College when it opened its doors to men and women. In 1973, the college began educating adult learners. Today, the college serves nearly 25,000 students nationwide each year.

I was listening to the testimony by AIG's CEO Liddy this afternoon. Apparently the retention bonuses were directly tied to each person working out his or her portfolio of problem derivatives satisfactorily to help shut the unit down, at which point their jobs would be finished. The 11 that resigned had completed their assignments. Apparently the resignations were considered to be mutually desirable. For what it's worth, Liddy is working for a "salary" of $1.00 with no bonus in the form of either cash or stock in an effort to unwind the AIG fiasco. Whether correct in his assessment or not, he currently believes that AIG will be able to repay all loans received from the government and that the government will actually make a profit on the assets that it purchased. If this substantially comes to pass I would categorize the AIG bailout as an even bigger success than the original bailout of Chrysler. Only time will tell.
EDIT: BTW, I know it's all Obama's fault if AIG fails. Who's fault is it if the bailout succeeds?

While Oppenheimer & Co.'s Ittai Kidron today opined that Apple's (AAPL) stock price hinges on new hardware, his colleague Tim Horan thinks Apple's software could help Internet bandwidth provider Akamai Technologies (AKAM) — mainly by boosting bits needed to ship the iOS 7 update to developers and customers.
Akamai shares today closed up 50 nets, or 1.2%, at $41.91, while Apple shares rose 9 cents to $402.63, reversing losses during most of the session.
Horan, who has an Outperform rating on Akamai shares, writes in a note to clients that "iOS 7 Beta 2 was released to carrier partners and developers as an (over-the-air) OTA update on Monday, and app developers have reported seeing a lot of iOS 7 log activity." iOS 7 is the latest version of the operating system running on Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, introduced two weeks ago at Apple's developer conference.
"iOS 7 is a major software update and, we suspect, much larger than previous iOS releases given its new features/functionality."
Half of Akamai's revenue, what's known as "Media Delivery," comes from video feeds, video game activity, social media, and software downloads, Horan notes.
The iOS 7 downloads could spur a traffic spike, and consequent business spike, for Akamai, he thinks:
Traffic spikes are sporadic, unpredictable and largely dependent on timing of releases and rate of adoption. Historically, new, large widespread iOS versions are a positive for the segment. Given that iOS 7 is a major software update, we believe it is relatively large compared to prior versions. Press reports suggest there could already be million(s) of iOS 7 users. We view this as a positive sign that could lead to incremental traffic/revenue not modeled into consensus estimates for AKAM.
Horan also thinks the company may be helped by Facebook (FB) having last week added video to its Instagram image service:
The added video feature saw significant adoption over the weekend. The new service allows users to share short videos (15 seconds), similar to Vine (Twitter) and others. Instagram has 130M active users, and in the first 24 hours, users uploaded 5M videos. At peak, ~40 hours of video/ minute were uploaded to the site. Social media moving toward data-intensive video is a long-term driver of AKAM's Media Delivery segment.
He concludes:
The company reported a pickup in overall volumes at the end of 1Q13, and we expect these trends have persisted throughout 2Q. Based in part on historical trends (see Exhibit 1) and the two positive data points mentioned above, we expect AKAM to report solid 2Q results and expect the stock to outperform the market.
Here's Horan's chart of how iOS releases, and Apple hardware releases, have affected traffic (click for larger image):

Going to be working in Mt. Vernon for couple of months does any body know of a training group or a good trainer around there.?
Going to be working in Mt. Vernon for couple of months does any body know of a training group or a good trainer around there.?
We really don't have many active groups down here outside of Retrievers Unlimited over near Belleville. We have a couple of guys down here that I get together with sometimes to work on the hunt test prep. It's still snow goose season, so I'm kind of busy guiding hunts, and the training my male gets is mostly in the field right now. My female is with my trainer in Cape Girardeau, which isn't that far. I try to get with him every couple of weeks to work with the female. Feel free to text me at 618-559-4773. I can get away and train sometimes or I can hook you up with my trainer.
Let me know when you'll be in Mt. Vernon. I live about an hour south, and you're more than welcome to train with me if you're willing to drive a bit.
Supposed to be in town 2 months starting Mar.12. Working 6 tens. So travel might make it to late to work until time change
Kirk is a great guy to train with too! Met him at several hunt tests. Not sure if I'm stalking him or he's stalking me! Maybe if we can get it all worked out, we can get a training day set up in Marion? Ohh, wckrishet, I can't respond to your PM because I don't have enough posts!
Guys, I'm always game for a training day. May be a bit tough in March as it's Hunt Test season in the Midwest, but let's try to find a date and make it happen.
Not sure what your day off schedule is like but your welcome to join us bout hr west of Mt vernon or sometimes we're in pickneyville also.
I will be working from 7 -5 six days a week. Day off will be in south county area
Are there any good public grounds in the Pickneyville area? Potentially might be in that area next weekend if I don't go to a test.
Try Pyramid State Park about 5 miles Southwest of P'Ville, It is off of Rt. 13 & 127 on the Pyatt black top. Good Luck. The nearest trainer form is Lloyd Moore at Paducah, KY. Although it might be hard to get a dog in. He did two of mine and my son's Cheesie. I figure if he could train Savage he can train anything. Savage was a prototype old style Chessie. If you were not family do not approach unless properly introduced.

Using pstore to debug awkward kernel crashes
The problem with Samsung laptops bricking themselves turned out to be down to the UEFI variable store becoming more than 50% full and Samsung's firmware being dreadful, but the trigger was us writing a crash dump to the nvram. I ended up using this feature to help someone get a backtrace from a kernel oops during suspend today, and realised that it's not been terribly well publicised, so.
First, make sure pstore is mounted. If you're on 3.9 then do:
mount -t pstore /sys/fs/pstore /sys/fs/pstore
For earlier kernels you'll need to find somewhere else to stick it. If there's anything in there, delete it - we want to make sure there's enough space to save future dumps. Now reboot twice[1]. Next time you get a system crash that doesn't make it to system logs, mount pstore again and (with luck) there'll be a bunch of files there. For tedious reasons these need to be assembled in reverse order (part 12 comes before part 11, and so on) but you should have a crash log. Report that, delete the files again and marvel at the benefits that technology has brought to your life.
[1] UEFI implementations generally handle variable deletion by flagging the space as reclaimable rather than immediately making it available again. You need to reboot in order for the firmware to garbage collect it. Some firmware seems to require two reboot cycles to do this properly. Thanks, firmware.

Smoking has several bad effects on your body, and it can invite many diseases be it related to the heart, lungs, brain or respiratory system. Millions of people everywhere in this world die from problems triggered by smoking. Cigarette smoking is one of the most harmful threats to your body; there is no way you can expect to remain safe while being an addict. It is not easy to give up smoking in a day. You might require some other sort of oral stimulation in the process of quitting.
There are many toxic compounds in a cigarette which further damage your cells. Tobacco is carcinogenic and hence cigarette smoking can result in several types of cancer. Tobacco smoke mainly consists of:
- Nicotine: This is an extremely addictive substance. As smokers are hooked to the nicotine, they find it very hard to quit. This acts really fast on their lungs, and reaches to the brain within 15 seconds after you inhale.
- Carbon monoxide: It is a dangerous gas without any taste or smell. You body absorbs it immediately as it is very hard to discriminate between oxygen and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide decreases heart rate and muscle functions thus pushing you towards slow death.
- Tar: It is a poisonous chemical which causes cancer. Whilst smoking, 70% tar remains in your lungs. It is basically a sticky brown material.
Smoking is one of the most important reasons behind preventable deaths. The diseases that can be caused by smoking are:
- Brain: stroke is one most threatening diseases that can be caused by smoking. Smoking increases your chances of suffering from a stroke. Smoking increases brain aneurysm, which develops the chances of stroke. It can rupture the blood vessels in your brain and it can lead to brain death too.
- Heart: when you smoke the smoke enters the blood vessels of your body and it damages the blood circulation system. It can give you several heart diseases like - stroke, heart attack, coronary heart problem and peripheral heart problem.
- Lungs: your lungs get the worst effects of smoking. Asthma, cough, wheezing and cold are just the tip of the iceberg. Your lungs directly absorb the nicotine and tar. Other diseases like pneumonia, lung cancer and emphysema can also occur.
- Mouth and throat: smoking causes very common oral problems like bad breath and stained teeth. It can also cause gum cancer and throat cancer. 93% of throat, head and neck cancers occur due to smoking.
- Infertility and reproduction: smoking destroys blood vessels, which supply blood to the penis causing male impotence. It destroys sperm count in men and egg count in women. It can also cause cervical cancer. Apart from this smoking also causes premature birth, stillbirth and illness.

Gestational Surrogacy
We will help you evaluate the benefits of gestational surrogacy and provide you with information about cost, legal issues, and treatment protocols.
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is pregnant with her own biological child, but this child will be raised by others. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate becomes pregnant via embryo transfer with a child that is not biologically her own. The surrogate mother may be called the gestational carrier.
Once a suitable surrogate has been identified, and the screening process is complete, the cycle can begin. Timing depends on the surrogate's and intended parents/donors menstrual cycle .
Surrogacy Cycle Overview
Evaluation Cycle
The surrogate needs to prepare her uterus for implantation with natural estrogen and progesterone. Because each woman is a little different, the dose, duration, and method of administering these hormones may need to be individualized. This can be determined ahead of time by conducting an evaluation cycle. This is a "dry run†in which we duplicate each part of the cycle except the actual transfer of embryos in order to determine how to maximize the chances of success. The evaluation cycle can be completed anytime before the actual procedure. In some circumstances, the evaluation cycle can be waived when the response of the uterus to hormonal stimulation is well known. This is fairly common for women who have undergone many treatment cycles in the past.
Cycle Synchronization
It is necessary to synchronize the menstrual cycles of the surrogate and the intended parent in order to obtain mature eggs and embryos and transfer these back into a perfectly prepared endometrium (uterine lining) to maximize the chances of pregnancy success. This is done using a variety of hormonal manipulations .We will determine which technique will work best for each circumstance. Once both women's (surrogate and intended parent) ovarian function is suppressed and their cycles synchronized, they can begin the process of preparing for pregnancy.
Hormonal Therapy
On about the same day, the surrogate and intended parent will begin hormonal therapies to prepare the appropriate target for pregnancy success. The surrogate will begin taking estrogen to stimulate endometrial (uterine lining) growth and the intended parent will begin taking FSH to stimulate egg production. These treatments are monitored with ultrasound and blood estrogen levels until the eggs are ready to be retrieved and the uterus is ready to accept an embryo. Usually these treatments will take approximately two to three weeks and require five office visits for ultrasounds and blood tests.
Subsequently IVF and embryo transfer is done.
Pregnancy Success!
In successful cycles, the hormonal supplements are continued through the first trimester (12 weeks) of the pregnancy. Once the first trimester is completed and the placenta has matured to the point where it can provide for all the hormonal needs of the pregnancy, no further supplements are required. We will monitor blood levels of estrogen and progesterone at the end of the first trimester and taper off the hormone supplements gradually. Once the hormone supplements are stopped, the rest of the pregnancy is indistinguishable from any other pregnancy!
1. What is infertility?
Infertility is a term that is used to describe the inability of an individual to successfully contribute to the process of conception. In females, it refers to their lack of ability to conceive post having regular, unprotected intercourse. In some cases, it also refers to their inability to carry a pregnancy to its full term. A normal fertility helps conception in the first 12 months of trying for almost 86% of couples, with around 7-8% couples conceiving in their second year, depending on their age. Hence, many practitioners also treat an inability to conceive within the first 12 months as infertility.
2. Is infertility a global problem?
Sub-fertility as well as infertility are a global public health issue affecting approx. 8-12% couples, worldwide. It is prevalent in both males and females. While over 10% of women world-wide, who have been in stable relationships for over 5 years yet been unsuccessful in conceiving, have been estimated to be inflicted with this problem; the count is much smaller in the case of men, primarily because of non-acknowledgement, even though it contributes to almost 50% of reported cases.
3. Do infertility problems occur only among women?
No, infertility problems are as common in men as they are in women. Almost 50% of cases of infertility are attributable to male infertility related issues. However, due to the social structure prevalent, most of such male infertility related issues go unacknowledged.
4. What could be the probable symptoms that suggest a possibility of infertility related problems?
Though the process of conception and the possibility of infertility related problems could be time-driven factors, some symptoms could indicate a bent towards infertility and could be medically examined and addressed in time to curb the problem at the very onset. Some of these indications include:
Indications in Females:
Infertility symptoms in females can be related to either one of multiple of these problems:
• Changes in menstrual cycle: Irregular or infrequent periods mean that the number of days between two cycles varies each month. This is a common indication of infertility as it reflects that the ovulation cycle is not stable, i.e. the body is not producing ovules (egg) regularly or at times not at all.
• Abnormalities in periods: Sudden changes in the bleeding pattern – heavier periods, no period or cramping and pelvic pain associated with periods – could also be indicative of an underlying fertility related problem.
• Hormonal Disturbances: Sudden changes in skin like more than usual acne, changes in sexual drive, unexplained and sudden growth of facial hair, excessive weight gain/loss, etc.
• Other Symptoms: Other symptoms such as pain during sex, milky-white discharge from breast/nipples (unrelated to lactation) can also be indicative of infertility and one should seek medical advice at the earliest.
• Age-related: As one advances in age, the egg count decreases rapidly along with a related deterioration in the egg quality. Hence, if a woman is in her early 30s and is failing to conceive, it could be related to a fertility problem.
Indications in Males:
Infertility symptoms in men can be quite elusive as they are very closely related to the cause of infertility. These often go unnoticed until the point that the couple start trying for a baby. Some of these are:
• Sudden changes in sexual drive.
• Pain, inflammation or lump in the testicles or if the testicles are small and firm.
• Problems related to ejaculation and erection
• Sudden, unexplained changes in hair growth patterns.
• Known semen abnormalities
5. Who are at risk of infertility problems?
Age is one of the most crucial risk involved in fertility related matters. For couples who start trying for a baby later in age, the chances of infertility increases manifolds. Couples where either partner is in their mid-30s or into 40s are at higher risk of infertility problems. While a man's overall lifestyle, health and other factors can affect his chances of contributing to a successful conception, in a woman age and chronic health conditions play a major role.
6. What increases infertility risk in men?
While health and lifestyle are the most important factors that contribute to their fertility levels, including their sperm quality and count, there are many other factors that affect fertility and push towards higher infertility risk among men. Some of these include:
• Age
• Alcohol and tobacco consumption
• Excessive physical exercise, especially excessive cycling
• Weight related issues
• Exposure to toxins at workplace or as part of a medical treatment like chemotherapy/radiation
• Surgical procedures like vasectomy or its reversal
• Family history of infertility or fertility related disorders or other genetic medical conditions like cystic fibrosis
• Medical history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Certain chronic problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, renal or hormonal problems
7. What can increase the risk of infertility among women?
Ovulation related issues contribute to over 25% of female infertility cases, with tubal blockage and uterine problems coming in as the other infertility causes in women. However, some other factors like the ones enlisted below also put females at risk of infertility:
• Advanced age
• Frequent or heavy alcohol or caffeine consumption
• Cigarette smoking
• Weight-related issues
• Eating disorders and lack of balanced healthy diet
• Intense and extended athletics or no exercise at all
• History of STIs, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or fibroids
• Chronic health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes.
• Hormonal problems like thyroid etc.
• Mental stress and fatigue
8. How is age related to a woman's ability to conceive or infertility aspects?
A woman's fertility rate begins to recede with her age. As a woman nears her mid-30s, her natural fertility starts to fall and many experience difficulties in conception as well as multiple pregnancy failures. The reason for this is that the ovarian reserve in women is fixed since birth and as they age it starts to fall drastically as the follicles keep leaving the reserve in a continuous flow (menstrual cycle). This follicular depletion accelerated as she approaches 40s and decreases not just her egg count but its quality too, as she ages. For men, this progressive drop in fertility rate hits after the age of 40.
9. What are common causes of infertility in men?
One of the most common causes of infertility in men are semen disorders. The semen comprises a milky white fluid and sperms that are ejaculated during orgasm. Abnormal semen contributes to over 75% cases of male infertility. The common semen related disorders include:
i. No sperm presence in semen
ii. Low sperm mobility
iii. Abnormal sperm shape/size
iv. Low sperm concentration (under 10 million/milliliter) in the semen (Ideal: 20 million/milliliter of semen)
The major causes of these abnormalities and a consequent infertility in men are:
1. Ejaculation Disorders
2. Frequent use of saunas, hot baths etc. that lead to overheating of testicles.
3. Testicular infections
4. Testosterone deficiency
5. Deformed or undescended testicles that usually happens as a birth defect or abnormal fetal development.
6. Genetic disorders like Klinefelter's syndrome that lead to abnormally developed testicles.
7. Very frequent intake of medications like Sulfasalazine, Anabolic steroids (frequently taken by athletes), etc. or exposure to chemotherapy/radiation.
8. Conditions like hypospadias (a condition where the urethral opening is not at the tip of the penis but at its underside) or cystic fibrosis.
10. What are common causes infertility in women?
There are a number of conditions that lead to fertility among women, such as:
1. Ovarian Disorders: The most commonly reported reason for infertility among women is a disorder in the ovulation process.
Ovulation involves the production and release of egg. This cycle happens on a monthly basis. However, certain situations lead to a malfunctioned ovulation. These causes include:
i. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which lead to mal function of ovaries
ii. Very high prolactin levels in non-lactating females
iii. Damaged or abnormal eggs – Poor egg quality is common in older women
iv. Thyroid disorders
v. Medical conditions like cancer, diabetes, AIDS, etc.
vi. Premature (before the age of 40) ovarian failure
2. Uterine Disorders: Once fertilized, the egg travels from the ovary to the uterus and it is important that the uterus be healthy to receive and nurture the fertilized egg. However, at times, disorders of the uterus lead to infertility problems in women. Uterine disorders can be attributed to one or more of these reasons:
i. Pelvic or cervical surgery that may cause scarring or damage of the uterus or fallopian tubes or at times shortening of the cervix which serves as the mouth of the uterus.
ii. Endometriosis – a condition where the cells that line the uterus start growing outside the uterus.

Swedish car brand Volvo, owned by China's Geely Group since 2010, continues renewing its lineup of cars, wagons, and SUVs in 2016 with two new models. The flagship 2017 S90 midsize premium sedan will replace the S80 and debuts this year. The new 2016 XC90 midsize premium SUV already is in showrooms. Both share Volvo's new scalable product architecture (SPA) and advanced driving and safety technologies.
Enhancements for other 2016 Volvo models include design updates for the S60 and XC60. Additionally, Volvo is focusing on its new family of fuel-efficient Drive-E turbocharged engines and has made connectivity standard. Navigation is standard for all Premier and higher trim levels. Seven new wheel treatments are available for many models.
Volvo is on an upswing, and has broken ground on a new factory in Charleston, SC, that will begin building vehicles in 2018.

*posts trembling*
In another forum of which I am a member, I was reading a recent thread where a guy was selling a supercool custom display of his Rebel and Imp AF fleet. He'd used the DS base-plates from the AMT/ERTL TIE display to mount his ships and was now asking what people thought about them.
Near the bottom of the thread a regular member posted the following;
I have emailed the member and asked them (read "begged") to pop in for a visit to answer some questions... I hope the answer is yesHey! Those are my ships! I worked at Galoob in the good ol' days of Action Fleet, and those are my babies. I still have prototypes of them. You would not believe the level of detail the original models have. The Sandcrawler, Slave 1, and the Millennium Falcon almost make your eyes hurt just looking at them. The Micro Machine protos are even more impressive.
One year we made an AF scale Death Star trench display for Toy Fair. It was awesome!
It's up to Hasbro, but new Action Fleet ships and two playsets for Episode 2 have been designed and prototyped. For the most part, the ships are taken directly from the ILM CG models. Hasbro is now going to take a "wait and see" approach to size up the appetite for E2 merchandise before they fully commit to the new line. We busted our *** to get the protos ready for Toy Fair only to have them kept in the conference room (along with the other "on the fence" toys) to show only to the larger buyers. Next thing you know, they'll ship 'em off to the Land of the Misfit Freakin' Toys. Hasbro b******s!
*ps:- probably best not to mention my comments on the B-wing and Imp Shuttle*

Binghamton welcomes new and returning students
August 21, 2013Tweet
Binghamton University welcomes new and returning students and their families on Aug. 22-23, respectively, with move-in days signifying the beginning of the fall semester and a new academic year.
About 2,600 freshmen, 1,100 transfer students and 1,098 new graduate students will join the Binghamton University community this year. Classes for all of Binghamton's 16,000 students begin Monday, Aug. 26.
"This is an exciting time to be at Binghamton University," President Harvey Stenger said. "The Class of 2017 represents some of the most talented students we have ever seen and we fully expect that their contributions will greatly enhance the intellectual, cultural and social vibrancy of our campus community."
The University received a record-high 29,046 freshman applications for fall 2013 admission, surpassing the previous record high of 28,963, set in 2009. There were 28,139 freshman applications received for fall 2012 admission.
With an average high school GPA of 94 and SAT scores averaging 1908, the Class of 2017 is one of the most academically impressive in University history.
"Every year, Binghamton University attracts some of the most talented students from across the nation and around the world," said Sandra Starke, vice provost for enrollment management. "This year is no exception. Binghamton, with its reputation of excellence in undergraduate education and its value, saw over 33,000 applications overall, resulting in a class that is one of the most accomplished we've seen. Students in the Class of 2017 have strong backgrounds in English, biology and math. They have also served as leaders in their schools and demonstrated a strong commitment to public service."
Applications for graduate study have reached historic heights as well, according to Susan Strehle, interim dean of the Graduate School, which received 4,164 completed applications for fall admission – an increase of 23 percent over last year.
"We are excited to welcome the largest incoming group of outstanding new graduate students in Binghamton University's history," Strehle said. "Working closely with graduate programs, our assistant deans helped the University experience significant growth in almost every graduate program."
Nearly 1,100 transfer students with a mean GPA of 3.4 will also join the Binghamton University community this fall, including about 225 SUNY Broome Community College students, by far the largest number from any single community college. Another 80 students have signed up for the Binghamton Advantage Program, a special, dual-admission program with SUNY Broome, which allows students to become part of the University community and live on the Binghamton University campus while attending SUNY Broome.
Binghamton continues to have a diverse class with the geographic distribution reflecting New York state's population. About 35 percent of students are from upstate New York; 7 percent are from Broome and Tioga counties, 22 percent are from Long Island and 19 percent from New York City.
Binghamton also expects a large number of new international students to join the campus community this fall. The 400-plus incoming undergraduate international students represent more than 30 countries, with the greatest numbers coming from China, South Korea, Turkey, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and India.

It's like a cold story repeated over and over
In the winters of my mind
This shit be real, man
Shit's crazy out here
Yo, yo, what up y'all?
That's my niggas over there, word
[Verse 1]
If you scared to take chances, you'll never have the answers
I could tell the future of a dude how his stance is
Wonder will he shoot
Then you should study where his hands is
Is he gonna cock it and pop it, his waistband big
But he don't have that thing in him, slanging just ain't in him
Body language is off, he's soft
But soft niggas all a sudden start dumpin'
Fronting, 'cause he feel a way
My niggas say the eyes is a giveaway
One look could tell me if you really came to kill me
Be the quiet nigga looking lame with the milli
Who that over there creeping? Who homie by the tree?
Better safe than sorry, look at p-noid me
Few machine guns close, we could squeeze all three
Be a cold day in Hell before they creep on me
It's a lesson every premonition
Lot of niggas killed 'cause they wasn't paying attention; listen
I want a bitch I can trust, some niggas I can trust
Accountants looking over my figures I can trust
A lawyer that's fighting for my decisions I can trust
Damn, my nigga trust, I can never get enough
A Ruger I can trust, shooters I can trust
Goons that know how to spot out a Judas I can trust
And if I can't trust you, the fuck is you here for?
Some of you niggas' true colors becoming clear more
[Verse 2]
It's been so long; can't remember how we begun this war
This is a ever-lasting thunderstorm, 'cause guns went off
I see your Moms, she still speak
She don't know I ain't cool with her son no more
It's old shit, see forever we holding this grudge
Takes real men to squash beef, end it with hugs
We buried our dead, been years
Why should I worry bout him?
Constantly watching my back, plus niggas telling I dread
Another day I put a family in black
Though I be calm and relaxed
Though I know somehow it will come back
Even if I'm in the right, 'cause still a life is a life
What was it worth to see you covered in dirt?
It's quite redundant, whether you the hunter or the hunted
Mothers cry, no statute of limitation on a homicide
Just tattoos of my niggas' names
I wonder, will it change? Let's ride…
[Verse 3]
It's rare I listen to niggas who never been in my position
A caterpillar can't relate to what an eagle envisions
From the mind of a man who went at it with killers
Sit down, little man, let me school you in hood business
Seen a lot of niggas blow, lot of dreams folded
Some wasn't humble, ate too much, got bloated
Ain't too much left to buy, bought it
I'm loaded I guess, Lear jets
I ask myself, do I need love or success?
They say the artist that truly suffers, his stuff is the best
'Cause his heart bleed on his sleeve: pain pistols and sex
Remember spray painting the word Fresh and then staring at it
Older folks angry, pointing, swearing at it
Buildings I sprayed, nowadays drive the McLaren past it
Same old man from years ago told me life is short
So from infant to geriatric
Trust your own judgment, live with it and love it

To measure the success of Dilma's visit to the United States, skeptical observers, journalists especially, are looking for proof that Washington is ready to give things to Brazil: a trade agreement, a U.N. Security Council endorsement, or the crown of leadership warranted by Brazil's economic and social prowess, democratic bona fides, and global importance. All of this may well materialize over the next decade, and should. Until then, President Dilma doesn't have time to waste wringing her hands while Washington's ship of state conjures these big ticket tangibles. Instead, she is looking to the United States to help her achieve what Brazilians elected her to deliver. And it is a very tall order.
She explained Brazil's challenge to her American audiences in Washington, Boston, and Cambridge: to create the conditions for Brazil's new and emerging middle classes to become productive in value-added industries that rely on well trained and educated human capital. Time is of the essence: Brazil has a thirty year window when the working-age population will be larger than the country' retirees. Connecting Brazilians to American scientific research and educational institutions is essential to investing in human capital. Exposing Brazilians to the American culture of innovation and creativity is likewise, in her formulation, a huge component of her task. And perhaps more difficult: Can we bottle these somewhat more intangible qualities Dilma so admiringly mentions? And are these really only ours to export?
As I listened to President Dilma explain to Americans the complexity of redressing extreme poverty at the same time that she tries to build a high-tech industry, flatter her audiences about the dynamism and fluidity of our open society, and beseech us also to think twice about military action against Iran, or to recognize the inexorable importance of emerging powers in a multipolar world, I couldn't help think that Dilma's presidency embodies a number of qualities that Brazil has to offer the United States.
Here are a few: optimism about the future; hard work for the common good; commitment to expanding opportunities for the neediest and the newly empowered; confidence to challenge the status quo or politically correct tropes of the day—at home and abroad; political will to bring together individuals of disparate histories or world views; and yes, the sensibilities of a woman who clearly understands that wrestling with the complex dynamics of gender and power is essential to the full flowering of democracy.
The US-Brazil Joint Communiqué gives the non-skeptical reader an utterly surprising sense that we are indeed weaving together the threads of substantial ties between our two societies. I will write more about the dimensions of our mutual discovery, about American politics, and global issues in my forthcoming columns. Whatever President Dilma's visit did not achieve this week, her focus, gravitas, and intelligence demonstrated that Brazil has ample reserves of the very qualities she hopes to harness from the United States. We should seize upon her sincerity and seriousness and walk through the door President Rousseff has opened to the United States.

Well it looks like a new Hiss tank is coming in 2010.
That HISS tank is going to have movable treads, which should be cool.
The TRU sale was another disappointment for me. I checked TRU nearly every day this week for figures but all they have are Firefys and Barbecues. It's the same for every action figure sale at TRU; they don't bother stocking or restocking for them.
On the last day of TRU's sale, I picked up Firefly and Cover Girl.
During the past week, my local TRU seems to have sold quite a lot of figures as the pegs, bursting to fullness last Saturday, were nearly empty today.
Looks like next year will be a HISS for me, and, otherwise, a mostly cheap year. The Elite Ice Viper looks like someone took the original and stripped all the coolness from him.
I grabbed an Angent Helix at Wally World today. She's alright, I suppose. I was reading an article about the Rise of Cobra video game and how they created a female character. I immediately realized it was Helix, which seems to be the case.
I decided movie Storm Shadow is not Storm Shadow but another ninja group Cobra Commander contracted because of dissatisfaction with the other ninjas that have worked with Cobra. So I have unmasked Storm Shadow as the leader of that group and two masked Storm Shadows as generic members of the group. The group doesn't rely on Cobra support outside of their payment, so they use their own equipment. I purchased a 1:18 Hayabusa motorcycle for the leader to drive, and I decided I liked that, so I got some other motorcycles for the masked Storm Shadows (they can't really ride them due to the coat). Even though she has nothing to do with the ninjas, I grabbed a Ducati 748 for Helix.
I've been on the fence about movie Storm Shadows. I have a Night Creeper (and plan to get the second variation when it's released), two Ninja-Ku, a Red Ninja leader, five Red Ninjas (BattlePacks are a wonderful thing!), and a Ninja Viper (whose teal color precludes army building); plus, I plan to get at least one Red Fang Ninja, likely Kamakura (and repainting him into a Cobra), and possibly getting an extra Elite Viper to customize into a more practical take on the second classic Night Creeper costume (with the honking enormous helmets). I kinda like having Storm Shadow as the only ninja in white.
BTW, I've noticed since the movie came out that Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes has dried up (dang! right when I realized I needed a second one!), and Helix is starting to become a lot easier to find (I've found something like eleven, and all but one within the past ten days). Helix's story sounds stupid; she's sort of a savant without the idiot part, who can instantly mimic any fighting art by seeing it once and count remaining bullets by, well, that was never explained. She seems like a poor substitute for Scarlett, sort of like Lady Jaye was intended to be, only Lady Jaye was awesomeness with a couple of strategically-placed missing buttons. I display Helix with guns only, not with sword, and imagine her as a sort of espionage specialist whose field of expertise is hi-tech communications. In other words, sort of like Daemon (or was it Firewall) from the Devil's Due run, except not generic and annoying.

DNA Tests, and Sometimes Surprising Results
April 23, 2017,
A petit mal seizure is the term given to a staring spell. It is most commonly called an absence seizure. It is a brief (usually less than 15 seconds) disturbance of brain function due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
For millions of families, epilepsy is a day-to-day struggle requiring continual care.
Seizure - petit mal; Absence seizure; Seizure - absence
Petit mal seizures occur most often in people under age 20, usually in children ages 6 to 12.
They may occur with other types of seizures, such as generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures), twitches or jerks (myoclonus), or sudden loss of muscle strength (atonic seizures).
Most petit mal seizures last only a few seconds. They often involve staring episodes or absence spells. The episodes may:
Unexplained difficulties in school and learning difficulties may be the first sign of petit mal seizures.
During the seizure, the person may:
The person usually does not fall during the seizure.
Immediately after the seizure, the person is usually:
Specific symptoms of typical petit mal seizures may include:
Atypical petit mal seizures begin slower and last longer. Symptoms are similar but muscle activity changes may be more noticeable.

Your lucky. Mine would have eaten the Shi!
Several years ago I was airing one of my dogs outside of a motel in Mobile, AL. I finished my beer (in a heavy glass bottle) and tossed it off to the side in the tall grass growing in sand. I forget which dog I had at the time, but she ran out and retrived it. I know, I shouldn't be throwing glass around, but I rethrew it just to see if it was a fluke that she picked up that hard glass bottle. She did! She would pick up anything I told her to that I had had in my hand. I love the pic of the dog with the 8 lb. sledge hammer! Bill
'Show up for work, do the best job you can and treat others the way you would like to be treated'
We had a funny incident like this at a hunt test last spring (well, it's funny now, wasn't so funny then.) My husband was handling our male chessie in his (husband's) first master test (and only third hunt test ever.) A couple of dogs prior to his run, a dog pooped right where one of the marks was landing. They cleaned it up, but of course Jake's duck landed right where the poop was. He picked up his first two marks beautifully, ran right to the third bird, and blinked it. Hunted around it in a circle, then went back and peed on it. "Thank you for your donation to the club," LOL. I know that technically this could be considered a force fetch issue, but I was hard pressed to be angry at him, that's asking a lot.
We avoid asking our dogs to fetch anything that might be a substitute for a duck in a hunt test: cans, sticks, shoes, etc. If he can't find his duck, at least don't bring back a stick!

Kmart has the Night Raven on sale for $25 this week. I had one in my hands yesterday but ultimately put it back.
Some of those movie vehicles look like they'd be right at home in the prequels, but I'm not sure I can picture a Cobra Night Raven over the skies of Coruscant.
I finally saw all the WM exclusive vintage playsets, including the really cool Outpost Defender. I passed since Roadblock's eyebrow paint went halfway up his forehead, but the playset is really neat. Nice to see these again, even with the weird figure repaints.
I got them all, figuring I'd get another MARS Trooper, another Neo-Viper, another Tele-Viper, and five figures worth of spare parts. As much as I loved Resolute, the figure releases have been too spotty and random to collect them as such. (Storm Shadow in Shredder Disguise? Destro prior to changing the script to make him a non-cyborg? Shockwave and a BAT, who didn't even appear?)

It seems the quote-unquote "Sci-Fi Channel" has finally started pulling the last thread of the rug that they've been pulling out from under their audience's feet. Today, they aired "So I Married An Axe Murderer", a fine film starrting Mike Meyers pre-Austin Powers and the beautiful & talented Nancy Travis; a film I might add that has nary a hint of science fiction to it.
While rumors have been flying about for over a year about SFC's then-new management wanting to scrap the entire "science fiction" premise of their channel so they can turn it into "The Action Channel" using all the action movies USA channel has rights to air (USA networks owns SFC), and SFC has in turn cancelled every single piece of original programming since then, they still were at least pretending to be about sci-fi and horror. Heck, USA even produced a new sci-fi show last season that they primarily aired on USA itself rather than premiering it on SFC (The Dead Zone, which is coming back for a 2nd season).
Sci-Fi Channel was started to cater to a specific market of viewership which, while more savvy and discerning towards programming and advertising, was also more rewarding to moves made in those fields that fit their mold. Slowly, SFC has eroded away its core and now seems to be airing less and less sci-fi similar to the ongoing extinction of music videos on MTV. However, if SFC goes away, I highly doubt there will be an SFC2 to pick up the slack, and that's a shame because we don't need another generic cable channel.

We know quite a bit about Iran's nuclear program, and what we know is not encouraging. Iran is reported to be enriching uranium at two sites – some of it to levels of 20%, far beyond what is required for civilian purposes. The International Atomic Energy Agency also reports that Iran is carrying out research to develop designs for nuclear warheads. In short, Iranian officials' claims that their nuclear program is aimed solely at power generation or medical research lacks all plausibility.
Yet there is still much that the world does not know. For example, we do not know whether Iran is conducting secret activities at undisclosed sites, or when Iran could develop a crude nuclear weapon, with estimates ranging from several months to several years. We also do not know whether Iran's divided leadership has decided to develop nuclear weapons, or to stop just short, calculating that the country could derive many of the benefits of possessing nuclear weapons without running the risks or incurring the costs of actually doing so.
Either way, Iran's activities confront the world with difficult choices. None is costless or risk-free. Moreover, neither the costs nor the risks are possible to calculate with precision.
One option would be to accept and live with a nuclear or near-nuclear Iran. This assumes that Iran could be deterred from using its weapons, much as the Soviet Union was during the Cold War. Missile defenses could be expanded; the United States could extend security guarantees so that Iran would understand that the threat or use of nuclear weapons would be met with a decisive American response.
But there are significant drawbacks to acquiescing to a nuclear-armed Iran. Given its use of subversion and terrorism against its adversaries, a nuclear-armed Iran might be even more assertive. It might also transfer nuclear-related material, technology, or weapons to allies (Hugo Chávez's Venezuela, for example) or radical organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas. And, rather than promoting caution and stability in the region, Iran or Israel could be tempted to strike first in a crisis.
Nor can it be assumed that Iran's divided and radical leadership would always act rationally, or that proliferation would stop with the Islamic Republic. If Iran develops its nuclear weapons, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt would be tempted to purchase or develop nuclear weapons of their own. A Middle East with multiple fingers on multiple triggers is as good a definition of a nightmare as there is.
At the opposite end of the spectrum of policy choices is a preventive attack: a military strike (most likely by Israel, the US, or both) against sites in Iran associated with its nuclear program. The core objective would be to interrupt the emergence of a threat that is still gathering.
Here, again, there are considerable drawbacks. Even a successful preventive attack would at most set back Iran's nuclear program a few years. It would almost certainly be rebuilt, presumably in underground, fortified sites that would make future attacks far more difficult to carry out.
Moreover, Iran could well retaliate immediately against targets that could include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other US interests worldwide – as well as sites on American territory. Hezbollah could attack Israel. If all of this happened, the price of oil would skyrocket owing to shortages and fears, possibly driving much of the world economy, already in a precarious position, into recession. An armed attack could also cause the Iranian public to rally around the government, reducing the chances that a more responsible leadership might emerge.
It thus comes as little surprise that the US and much of the world have explored alternatives, including regime change in Iran. But, however desirable that might be, no policy can assuredly bring it about. As a result, the principal policy toward Iran centers on the imposition of increasingly painful economic sanctions. The rationale underlying this policy is that Iran's leaders, fearful of losing political control as popular discontent increases over the sanctions' effects, will recalculate the costs and benefits of their nuclear activities and become receptive to negotiated constraints in exchange for removal of sanctions.
That could happen. International support for sanctions is considerable and increasing. It is becoming more difficult for Iran (whose economy depends to a large extent on oil exports of more than two million barrels a day) to find customers – and especially customers willing to pay full price. Meanwhile, Iran's currency is weakening, pricing imported goods out of many Iranians' reach.
Additional elements of current policy that seem to be having an effect are clandestine efforts aimed at impeding Iran's ability to import sensitive technologies. Viruses have infiltrated computers in Iran, reducing the efficiency of the centrifuges central to enriching uranium. It is also possible that the assassination of selected individuals has slowed the advance of Iranian nuclear efforts.
But slowing Iran's efforts is not the same as stopping them. So one question is whether existing sanctions can be extended and tightened; here, China and Russia must determine their priorities. Another question is whether any sanctions will be enough to persuade Iran's leaders to accept verifiable limits on their nuclear program. And a third unsettled issue is how long Israel or the US will tolerate Iranian efforts before striking militarily.
Indeed, the only certainty may be that Iran's nuclear program will be a major international issue in 2012 – quite possibly the most important one.

I just started duck hunting about 4 years ago when I bought my first Roux puppy. I got a lease up in the MS delta, I know license can get expensive but your also welcome to come along one weekend after I get back and we will shoot some ducks. If you can make it up to the south MS training day I would reccomend it. Ms Karen from PHRC is also a member of south MS, also there are some good guys in that club, I am going to rejoin when I get home, as well as join PHRC and maybe even lower alabama. I saw where you said your going to school on GI bill, what branch were you in, and where you going to school at ? That Hillman DVD was too expensive for me to buy. I bought a used copy of Evn Graham Smartworks on here.

Programmer Ethics
- apenwarr,
That is a pretty comprehensive list. I'm probably in the same camp as you claim to be, having broken every one.
The rules are pretty strong as well. I'm still mulling them over in my mind, but there is one that sticks out as unwise, or poorly written. It is #3, which says: "I will not write a program that fails to do tomorrow what it was able to do yesterday."
Taken purely literally, this prevents all change, all experimentation, all feature-level refactoring. I'm sure this is not what the rule was intended to say. I'm assuming it is more of an encouragement for better testing, so that a bugfix in one area doesn't break a feature in another.
Even taking this rule as a Testing Rule, I think it overreaches. There are steps that programmers can take to prevent regressions, but to assume that it is possible, or even common, to prevent them all is wishful thinking.
I think a better rule would be something like: "I will not refuse or hinder the fixing of a bug that I have caused."

Have any of you heard of or about these laws. I looked at the website, it seems ligit, the only mistake I noticed was that the tax (atleast in SC was 0.005 per round.) I still don't like it or agree with it, I received it in an email.
Subject: Can't sell ammunition after June 30, 2009
If you don't believe it just check the link at the bottom!!! Can't sell ammunition after June 30, 2009 ---ALERT
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009
Ammunition Accountability Legislation
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers.
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
Send to your friends in these states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!!

IEM for gaming is something I really don't think works that well.
I have a Westone UM3.
Very comfy to wear hours at a time.
Sound quality is superb, but bass is... well... lacking.
The only way I can position anything based on sound is when I'm "running".
Basically trying to pinpoint based on the increase and decrease of the sound.though left and right channel as I change position.
Whenever I'm stuck in one area, it is fairly easy to sneak up on my back.
If I stay in an area, I always need to constantly keep check on my surroundings.
I just got a full sized can and a desktop amp to go with it.
Haven't tried it on games to make a comparison though. Having too much fun just listening to music.
The sound quality difference is.... staggering.
Having an open back headphone in a tropical climate is a godsend.
I haven't played ANY game since I got it set up.
Now, I can easily spend the same amount of time just listening to music compared to what I used to spend gaming.

Alternate name: Dwarf Sumac, Shining Sumac, Flameleaf Sumac
Family: Anacardiaceae, Cashew view all from this family
Description Also called Shining Sumac, this plant is native to eastern North America. It is a small deciduous tree growing to 3.5–5.5 metres (11–18 ft) tall and an equal spread with a rounded crown. A 5-year-old sapling will stand about 2.5 metres (8.2 ft).
Shining sumac is often cultivated, where it is well-suited to natural and informal landscapes because it has underground runners which spread to provide dense, shrubby cover for birds and wildlife. This species is valued for ornamental planting because of its lustrous dark green foliage which turns a brilliant orange-red in fall. The fall color display is frequently enjoyed along interstate highways, as the plant readily colonizes these and other disturbed sites. The tiny, greenish-yellow flowers, borne in compact, terminal panicles, are followed by showy red clusters of berries which persist into the winter and attract wildlife.
The flowers are yellow, flowering in the summer. The fruit attracts birds with no significant litter problem, is persistent on the tree and showy.
The bark is thin and easily damaged from mechanical impact; branches droop as the tree grows, and will require pruning for vehicular or pedestrian clearance beneath the canopy; routinely grown with, or trainable to be grown with, multiple trunks. The tree wants to grow with several trunks but can be trained to grow with a single trunk. It has no thorns.
The tree can be planted in a container or above-ground planter; recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; reclamation plant; specimen; tree has been successfully grown in urban areas where air pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil, and/or drought are common.
The tree grows in full sun or part shade. Soil tolerances include clay, loam, sand, slightly alkaline, acidic, and well-drained soil. Its drought tolerance is high.
Habitat Fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands.
Range Florida, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Plains, Eastern Canada, Texas, Great Lakes, Southeast.
Comments Shining sumac is a very ornamental sumac. Because of its large, spreading habit, is not suited to small areas. Native sumacs are important wildlife plants, providing winter food for many upland gamebirds, songbirds, and large and small mammals. They are fast growing, generally pest and disease-free, and drought-tolerant. Colonies are often single-sexed, formed from a single, suckering parent. Only female plants produce berries, which are not as showy as those of R. typhina and R. glabra.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Flower July
Native Distribution S. Maine to s. Michigan & Missouri, s. to Florida & e. Texas
Site Preference Dry hillsides; open woods; prairies; thickets
Soil Preference Rocky, poor soils.
Wildlife Value Winter food for many upland gamebirds, songbirds, and large and small mammals.


text: The ruins of a twelfth-century church now mark the village of Emmaus, toward which two disciples were walking when Jesus appeared to them after the Resurrection (Luke 24:13-28). Walking the road with Jesus has become a powerful symbol of Christian life, and Emmaus is an excellent place to ponder it. The massive stones of the church, just off the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, are a dramatic backdrop for prayer and reading the story, which continues with Jesus breaking bread with the disciples. There is more than one "Emmaus" because of differing distances from Jerusalem given in various versions of Luke, but early Christian scholars believed it was here, overlooking the Valley of Ayalon (Josh. 10:12). The town, where archaeologists have unearthed interesting Roman and Byzantine remains, first became known for a great victory of the Jews over the Greeks in 165 BCE.

Throughout 2011, a rhythmic chant echoed across the Arab lands: "The people want to topple the regime." It skipped borders with ease, carried in newspapers and magazines, on Twitter and Facebook, on the airwaves of al Jazeera and al Arabiya. Arab nationalism had been written off, but here, in full bloom, was what certainly looked like a pan-Arab awakening. Young people in search of political freedom and economic opportunity, weary of waking up to the same tedium day after day, rose up against their sclerotic masters.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Content Blocking
"Are you being blocked?" asks Open Rights Group's (ORG) newly-revamped website, "Blocked!" The site, which relaunched today, allows users to test whether their websites are being blocked by one of the UK's 10 major Internet service providers (ISPs). Anyone who suspects their website to be a target of the ISPs' filters can detect a block by simply entering the URL of their site into the search bar provided.
The project seeks to address the problems of arbitrary blocking of websites prompted by concerns about child protection, copyright, and other issues. As ORG explains:
Thailand's censorship regime has grown ever more pervasive since the military took over last month, with punishments aimed at both speakers and consumers of prohibited media. On the streets, Thais have been arrested for wearing the wrong message on a T-shirt, or reading George Orwell's "1984" in public. Online, according to the regime's own reports, hundreds of new websites have been added to the Thai government's official blacklist including politics and news sites covering the coup. Now the authorities are deceiving Internet users into disclosing their personal details, including email addresses and Facebook profile information, when they try to visit these prohibited sites.
After a two-week ban on the website imposed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey's Constitutional Court has ruled that the block breached freedom of expression. Access to Twitter was subsequently restored within the country.
The ban on Twitter drew widespread criticism both within and outside of Turkey. President Abdullah Gul, who hails from the same party as Erdoğan, spoke out against it. The White House issued a statement opposing the restriction, and Twitter itself condemned the choice, posting alternative options for tweeting to their @policy account.
Join EFF on April 4th for 404 Day, a nation-wide day of action to call attention to the long-standing problem of Internet censorship in public libraries and public schools. In collaboration with the MIT Center for Civic Media and the National Coalition Against Censorship, we are hosting a digital teach-in with some of the top researchers and librarians working to analyze and push back against the use of Internet filters on library computers.
For over a decade public libraries and public schools have been censoring the Internet by blocking and blacklisting websites to be in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). The law was passed to encourage public libraries and schools to filter child pornography and obscene or "harmful to minors" images from the library's Internet connection in exchange for federal funding.
Following his pledge to "wipe out" Twitter last week, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ordered ISPs to block the site, which they did by tweaking DNS settings and redirecting traffic from the page to a government blockpage.
