I have given this much thought.
I beleive at this point we do nothing.
This is an horrible event, done by an evil person.
We want, due to human nature, to blame someone/something.
I don't beleive this kind of evil can be stopped.
I don't beleive anyone/anything is to blame.
It is unfortunate that the incremental secular progressives have pounced on this opportunity to try to disarm the citizenry, 1 increment at a time.
Make no mistake, they will get something out of this tragedy.
And we will never get it back!!!!

I posted this on the Hide Your Guns thread and in my opinion makes the most sense.
The Official stance of the Libertarian Party...
The Federal Gun Free Schools Zone Act prohibits carrying firearms on school grounds in most cases, effectively criminalizing the right to self-defense in places filled with the most vulnerable citizens. Without that federal prohibition, adults working at the school would have been free to defend themselves, very possibly saving the lives of many of the young children and adults who were slain in this horrific tragedy.
"We must stop blinding ourselves to the obvious: Most of these mass killings are happening at schools where self-defense is prohibited," said Carla Howell, executive director of the Libertarian Party. "Gun prohibition sets the stage for the slaughter of innocent children. We must repeal these anti-self-defense laws now to minimize the likelihood they will occur in the future and to the limit the damage done when they do."
.................................................. ..
Anyone else disappointed in the amount of Repubs that voiced their support for more gun laws yesterday?
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
We provide all sorts of tools and training for most all other emergencies. Fire extinguishers. Defibrillators. CPR training. Heimlich training. The list goes on. Yet we deliberately remove the most effevtive tool that could end this type of situation.
This video might provide some insight to what goes through someone's mind who has been through this type of situation:
Trying to depict the Libertarian Party as the only one that is pro gun is somewhat disingenuous..The Party is pro gun because the issue deals with a liberty that they feel is being infringed...those from the other political parties arent looking at it thru one's civil liberty...they are looking at a gun as something if removed would somehow diminish certain times of crime and violence

I think it would be good for some teachers to carry guns. The thing is they need to be able to keep their mind on the lesson and the kids. That's just my point of view as a volunteer at school in the past.
"To become competent in governing others, we must first learn to govern ourselves"
Waite Phillips
This is an opinion piece from Fox News, but I see some common sense in this ...But protection is a national pastime as we put locks on our phones, our homes, our cars, our bank accounts, our computers.
It's ironic that so many exalted opinion leaders in government and the media live in gated communities, sending their children to private schools, all the while lecturing the great unwashed to trust in a level of security they do not accept for their own families. Apparently guns are bad, unless protecting them and their loved ones.Tears have been shed for the heroic teachers and school employees who gave their lives to protect children. I wonder if I am alone in wishing that one of them was armed and able to fight back?
If this horrible event happened in a movie, Jason Bourne, living undercover, would have been the school gym teacher, and when violence entered the school, he would have protected those children with all the skills and force necessary. And we all would have cheered.
And yet, politicians argue that the answer to armed maniacs is a disarmed, unprotected citizenry. Parents should trust others to stand in the gap for their beloved children.
It is not enough. Even with the best intentions, government can't be everywhere. A right to bear arms just may be a need to bear arms – on some occasions and in some locations.
Our schools need better trained and equipped protectors, and our citizenry deserves the right to fight for the weak. It's not that a discussion of gun laws is a bad thing. But it is not enough.
As Americans grapple with an increasingly dangerous world, let's not pretend the answers are easy or that playing politics with children's lives is acceptable.

Amazing experience with a small plan landing over those mountains.
It looks like you put the time 30 years back.
All what you see around you is nature. People are very friendly.
The bus driver say: we go with the Flo in Dominica. About 20 minutes drive from the airport we find a place to sleep in the village " Calibishie". A nice village on the sea. You can see Guadeloupe on the other side. There are a few nice beaches around this area. In the North of Dominica you have whit sand beaches, beaches where you can stay all the day alone.
I tell you: when you want to bee away from the modern western world: This is the place to bee. We have a beautiful time in this area
Dominica has rivers, waterfalls like water. Nice hiking tracks. On the other side of the island is the see like a lake, so calm is that water. The capital: Roseau is a typical Caribbean village: that's how i see it. Colonial buildings and small streets. Busy. Champagne beach you need to visit: this is a surprise under water, that's all what i say about it.
Boeling lake: this you need to do: amazing experience: but not easy, it takes around 7 hours.
When you talk about a hike, this is a heavy one, i tell you.
Victoria Falls and Sari Sari falls: you need to do this also. You go see it.
All what i can tell you: i came in love whit this island.
Visit Dominica when you can. That's my message!

Review Details
Transit 2 Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on May 17, 2010):
I've had my Transit jacket for just about a month and these are my initial impressions. I thought sizing was pretty right-on. One phone call to Aerostich got me the right size on the first try. The jacket looks well made. Compared to other leather jackets I've owned (mostly Vanson), it is very comfortable right out of the box. I do have some issues with the proportions of the jacket though. As noted by others, the sleeves are long. This makes the cuffs bunch up around the hands and makes it hard to put on gloves. To get my gloves on, I need to ty to extend each hand out of the sleeve as far as I can to get the gauntlet over the sleeve. Once I do that, the jacket feels fine and I don't have the problem of the cuffs bunching painfully over my hands, but I could see how it might happen especially if you have shortish arms or ride a sport or sport-touring bike. I ordered one size larger than I thought I needed so I could layer fleece under it. This may have resulted in the sleeves being a little long on me, but the sleeves are way longer than the one size up should have resulted in. If I look at all of my jackets lined up in the closet, the Transit's sleeves are obviously hanging lower than any of the others. Others have complained about the cuff design, it is a bit bulky but overall, I like the design. I really feel in my case it is sleeve length that is the problem. It is not a deal breaker, but it is something I will need to live around unless I want to come up with the extra money to have the jacket altered - if that is even possible.... The collar did chaff on me a couple of times, but seems to be OK now. Maybe I developed calluses on my neck or the collar smoothed out - or something.
Otherwise the jacket is as advertised. It is cooler than a regular black leather jacket, but that's not to say it is especially cool when you are caught in traffic on a bright sunny day either. It is a step in the right direction though.
Things I would like to see on the jacket would include shorter sleeves and a removeable storm collar for cold weather riding - or at least a snap or velcro closure at the neck.

Thread: Cat lady moves to a 120g
*slinks back in looking ashamed*
Yeahhh so I know I have been totally neglecting this build thread... sorry guys! Turns out that moving was a lot more of a pain than I remember it being (that's probably why I lived in my old apartment so long... it's like, as long as I REMEMBER how terrible moving is, I stick to one place, but then the memory fades and I think, why not...)
Hehe, anyway! A long-overdue update on the tank situation! The good news is, they're out of the 60g and it's gone! The bad news is, they're in the 120g, but I have yet to get the plumbing water-tight because I never was able to accomplish this 100% before the move.
SO the water level in the tank is just low enough that it does not reach the built-in overflows, and running the (admittedly underpowered for this size tank) AquaC Remora Pro until I get my act together. I used MUCH less sand this time around and just used a few cups from the old tank to seed it. New tank is cycled and has been up and running for about a month now... bought some new Koralia powerheads that will be coming soon, so the flow is about to get SERIOUS in there.
And everything is doing well! I added a yellow tang since my last visit. The damsels were given away on craigslist, and replaced with blue green chromis (much more agreeable temperament). I had to give the acan coral away as well since it wasn't doing well in the old tank... I know, terrible since it was expensive, but best for it in the long run.
And last but not least: added my first new coral in FOREVER just yesterday: a very small Zoa frag (TCN's Miami Hurricane Zoanthids), as well as 2 lil purple ORA mushrooms.

The Avengers
Movie Review
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
Take Loki, pale-faced exile from the far-away world of Asgard. If you saw him walking down the sidewalk with his horned helmet and glowing spear of doom, chances are you'd nudge your neighbor and say, "He looks like trouble." And that's if you are safely tucked away in café booth where he can't see you. If you're walking toward him, you might cross (quickly) to the other side of the street.
Now, we all know jumping to these sorts of conclusions isn't entirely fair. There are plenty of reasonable explanations as to why someone might wear horned headgear and brandish dangerous weaponry. Perhaps he's attending a costume party. Perhaps he's an accountant who just wants to liven things up at the office. Perhaps he's a rich, ageless, eccentric Viking who's been looking for his longboat the last 1,200 years.
But this is Loki we're talking about. Even when we saw him last, in 2011's Thor, the dude was up to no good. And if anything, he's just torqued up the crazy since then.
His first act as an Earth tourist is to kill a whole bunch of people and destroy a massive government complex. And when one brave soul tries to tell him that we earthlings don't want to quarrel, Loki says, "An ant has no quarrel with a boot." Clearly, the guy could stand to read a self-help book or something. Maybe Proactive Leadership 101 or Making Friends for Dummies.
Loki's not here to make friends, though. He's here to humiliate his brother, Thor, crush our small planet under his iron heel and cause as much pain and suffering as he can—just 'cause he's that type of guy. And to help him do it, he's bringing along an extraterrestrial army.
It looks like we don't stand a chance. Why, even a superhero couldn't deal with this sort of threat.
Well, maybe not one. But how about six?
Positive Elements
If you haven't guessed, Marvel's The Avengers is a superhero movie. So it's nice to see that it features some fairly super heroics. The Avengers here consist of four superheroes who have already gotten their own movies: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk, plus a couple of add-on heroes in the form of super-spy Black Widow and the arrow-wielding marksman Hawkeye. And while they all boast their own sets of super skills, it's not what they have that makes them heroes: It's what they give.
And they give their all here, risking bodies, minds and souls to toss the extraterrestrial interlopers out. Even Tony Stark/Iron Man, the most overtly flip and selfish of the lot, never shies from putting his metal-clad self in danger (and even confronts Loki without his nifty suit at one point). His self-sacrifice is the most obvious, but any one of these heroes would pay the ultimate price to give the rest of us an extended lease on life.
It's not just their penchant for literally fighting the good fight that makes them heroes, though. It's in the smaller, less-frenetic side stories too: Black Widow trying to rescue Hawkeye from Loki's mind-scrambling powers; Thor pleading with his brother to stop with the warmongering already and reconcile with him; Bruce Banner, Hulk's mild-mannered alter ego, attempting to keep "the other guy" from hurting anyone who doesn't deserve it; Captain America trying desperately to mold this collection of egos into a team.
[Spoiler Warning] In the end, perhaps it's mild-mannered Agent Phil Coulson—a man devoid of any crazy abilities—who proves to be the biggest hero of them all. As the actual Avengers struggle to unite, fighting among themselves, Coulson's forced to face Loki alone—a confrontation that doesn't end well. But even as he's dying, the man is unbowed.
"You're going to lose," Coulson says.
"Really?" Loki scoffs.
"You lack conviction," the agent tells him, and fires off one final shot.
To his dying breath, Coulson is convinced—and convicted—that the Avengers can be the heroes the world needs them to be. And, in part through his sacrifice, they became just that.
Spiritual Content
Loki and Thor are both repeatedly referred to as "gods." And much is made of their power and near-immortality. But as we learned in Thor, this characterization is misleading. Thor is an alien being with powers that are much greater than humans'. But he's not really a god, and when the word god is used here, it's qualified, as when Black Widow tells Captain America that Thor and Loki are "basically gods."
Even so, Cap adds another addendum. "There's only one God," he tells her, "and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that."
When Loki refers to himself as a god, the Hulk takes physical issue with the statement—picking him up and pounding him into the floor, like a 5-year-old with a Raggedy Ann doll. "Puny god," Hulk says dismissively.
Elsewhere, the Avengers want to get their hands on a cube of mysterious and limitless power called the Tesseract, and some treat the cube as if it were divine itself. "It's more than knowledge," Selvig, a scientist, says. "It's truth." That said, Selvig's mind is under the influence of Loki at the time, so it's hard to know whether he means it or not.
A reference is made to yoga. We see religious iconography from various religions. Tony name-checks the prophet Jonah.
Sexual Content
Black Widow and Pepper Pots, especially, are dressed in tight, sometimes low-cut clothing. Stark and Potts (his assistant/love interest) kiss, and Pepper appears to whisper something suggestive in his ear. Tony tells her, "Call your mom. Can you bunk over?" A joke is made about a "performance issue."
After the Hulk turns back into Banner, we see him sitting in a debris field, sans clothes. He pulls pants on after someone observes that he's "buck-a‑‑ naked." (We see his legs and torso.)
Violent Content
The Avengers focuses on a bunch of superfolks who, essentially, fight for a living. We see people get punched, kicked, thrown, bashed, smashed, clunked, clinked, pounded, kneed, stabbed, shot (with arrows, bullets and ray guns) and vaporized. There are multiple massive fight scenes, and the climactic battle seems to last for about 45 minutes (probably an exaggeration, but not by much). We see cars crash and weird spaceships smash into buildings. There are explosions galore.
When we're introduced to Black Widow, she's tied to a chair for the purpose of being interrogated by a Russian general and his goons. A man slaps her across the face, and the general walks toward a table filled with instruments of torture. He says she'll need to deliver a message to someone, then he picks up a pair of pliers and says, "You may have to write it down," suggesting he plans to pull out her tongue. Black Widow promptly turns the tables, beating up and knocking out the majority of her interrogators (mostly while still tied to her chair). She leaves the general dangling over a pit with his leg bound by a chain.
Loki stabs, slices and obliterates a number of scientists and security guards. While we see no blood, the confrontation feels harsher than many of its superhero showdown peers. And it's nothing compared to what happens when Loki crashes a swanky German party, tosses a bigwig down on what appears to be an ancient altar and jams a frightening-looking instrument into his face. (We see the man writhe and hear him scream.) Loki grins maniacally as the torture progresses—spurred on by the horrified panic of the onlookers.
We learn later that Loki's killed 80 people in two days. And he threatens to do so much more than that to so many more people. When he stabs one man in the back, we see the blade protrude from his victim's chest.
We learn that Bruce Banner tried to kill himself—he shot himself in the mouth, he says, but "the other guy" (the Hulk) spit the bullet out.
Crude or Profane Language
No f-words. No s-words. There are five or six uses each of "h‑‑‑" and "d‑‑n," and one or two each of "a‑‑," "p‑‑‑," "b‑‑ch" and "b‑‑tard." Loki hurls out the British anatomical vulgarity "quim" as a misogynistic putdown. God's name is thoughtlessly interjected a couple of times in the form of "oh my god."
Drug and Alcohol Content
Tony and Pepper sip champagne, and Tony offers Loki a drink before pouring himself a glass of whiskey. Tony asks Bruce if he stays under control with the help of "a huge bag of weed."
Other Negative Elements
Characters lie and mislead. A quip is made at the expense of adoption.
Early on, we learn that the so-called "Avengers Initiative" was scrapped because the personalities in play were too volatile, too unpredictable and too wounded. It makes sense. I mean, who in his right mind would trust the safety of the world to a narcissistic, self-destructive businessman; a scientist who turns into a monster he can't really control; a quaint hero from World War II; and an otherworldly demigod who may or may not show up?
We're not a team, Banner says. "We're a time bomb."
But as every Christian knows, flawed folks can make a big, and positive, difference in the world around them. Everyone can contribute. And it's our differences that make us strong. Equally Christian is the idea that the Avengers are battling to preserve mankind's God-given freedoms. The freedom to think for ourselves. The freedom to make our own choices ... even when those choices aren't God-honoring. Loki believes that it's our pursit of freedom that enslaves us. That we can only be happy when we're subjugated to a god (like him) who would take away our free will. Fury and his fighters will have none of that.
The Avengers, of course, is not a Bible lesson. It's a movie, and a violent, imperfect one at that. We hear flurries of foul language. We watch a woman being tortured—and then bash her way back to freedom. And while we can't excuse those things, we still see something pretty instructive when these disparate characters begin to find a way to work together for a common good—when Tony Stark sets aside his selfishness and follows orders for once in his life, when Hulk focuses his attention (mostly) on the bad guys instead of the good ones, when the team as a whole risks so much for such a noble cause.
Marvel's The Avengers is a rollicking, bust-your-eardrums loud, take-no-prisoners actioner. It's clearly a suitable movie to open the popcorn season of summer, considering the standard that's been set for such events. Unlike so many other tent-pole summer flicks, though, this one has a bit of substance, a bit of soul. And that's super nice to see.

From Politico:
By JENNIFER HABERKORN | 7/28/11 12:41 PM EDT
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner failed to strike a "grand bargain" on the nation's deficit, but they may have pulled off another trick: revolutionizing the debate over Medicare.
When they both accepted the idea of increasing the Medicare eligibility age to 67, they gave a controversial idea more legitimacy and high-profile support than it's ever gotten before.
The White House's Fiscal Commission, led by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, listed the idea of raising the eligibility age with the likes of such dramatic structural changes as the public option, block grants or an all-payer system. Alice Rivlin and former Sen. Pete Domenici didn't even bring up the idea in their deficit report. And the top Democrats in both the House and Senate brushed aside the concept just last month.
But now the idea of raising the eligibility age has gotten the support of Obama and Boehner. While the age change is not expected to be part of the latest debt ceiling compromises, the idea is now likely to be a permanent fixture in the Medicare debate and, someday, to become a reality.
The idea has been loosely supported by Republicans in the past. Continue reading

AOL stock rallied after the media company reported a 6% increase in revenue year-over-year thanks to global advertising improvements, even though earnings were weak.
AOL (AOL) shares were up $3.50, or 9%, to $42.21 in mid-afternoon trading.
The company reported third-quarter earnings of 24 cents per share, lower than the 35 cents expected by analysts, according to Thomson I/B/E/S. Diluted earnings per share were 2 cents; profits were impacted by $19 million in pre-tax restructuring costs, and non-cash asset impairments of $25 million in AOL's community news website operation, called Patch. But global display advertising revenue rose 5% on improved pricing, while search revenue increased 3%.
Cantor Fitzgerald analysts Youssef Squali, Naved Khan and Kip Paulson, who have a Hold rating on the stock, think shares could sink below today's price. They write today:
"AOL's 3Q results were ahead of expectations and generally in line with AOL's longer-term strategy of reigniting growth and improving margins. Ex. Adap.tv, however, the results were a bit less impressive, with top-line growth of +2.3% year over year. While management's execution to-date has been strong (ex. Patch,) continued stagnation in O&O Display and Search keep us on the sidelines. We're tweaking our estimates and establishing a new 2014 price target of $44/share."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Murphy Holloway does a lot of things well for Ole Miss.
Saturday afternoon at Middle Tennessee State's Murphy Center, it was what Holloway doesn't do well that hurt the Rebels at the end.
With his team down by two with less than 30 seconds to play, the Rebels' top rebounder wasn't close on a 3-point attempt, and the Blue Raiders held on for a 65-62 win much to the delight of 6,107 fans.
It was a snapshot of what Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said was the real dagger in the Rebels' first loss of the season – poor execution.
Middle's senior-dominated lineup forced 18 turnovers against an Ole Miss (6-1) team giving it up just 11.3 times a game, second in the SEC.
Multiple times, Ole Miss guards were stripped of the ball near the key before they could set the offense.
A worst-case scenario of ball-protection played out against the experienced Blue Raiders as Ole Miss point guard Jarvis Summers went to the bench 7 minutes into the game with his second foul and did not return.
"I knew Middle was not going to allow us to have easy cuts, to go where we wanted to go. We had to be resilient, and we had to execute. What I didn't anticipate was that we would just hand them the ball," Kennedy said. "We just handed them the ball like happens sometimes when you play with your big brother. They took our ball."
The Rebels weren't in better position at the end, because Middle made things tougher in the paint as the game wore on, and shooting guard Marshall Henderson – though he tied the game with a deep 3-pointer with 2:08 remaining – was just 3 for 12 behind the arc.
Holloway and his teammates in the post got the Rebels off to a good start, but Holloway, after scoring seven points in the first five minutes, had just two buckets the rest of the way.
Henderson led Ole Miss with 17 points, shooting 3 for 5 inside the 3-point line.
Middle Tennessee (7-2) was led by wing man Marcos Knight, who had 14 points on 6 for 14 shooting.
Guard Raymond Cintron, who was 4 for 7 from the arc when Middle defeated Ole Miss 68-56 last year in Southaven, was 3 for 4 and scored 10 points in the rematch.
While a number of calls did go the way of the Rebels, two that did not came after Henderson's shot tied it at 59.
Ole Miss got a defensive stop and had a chance to take the lead, but Summers missed in the lane as there was contact on the play.
On the other end, Middle's Kerry Hammonds drove into Henderson, and Henderson fell to the floor. Hammonds stepped back and hit a 15-footer to put the Blue Raiders ahead.

Middle then denied the Rebels' shooters, and Holloway was wide open when the ball ended up in his hands.
"I kind of liked it," said MTSU coach Kermit Davis, laughing. "I hate seeing that big fella going left to the rim, so you'd much rather him take that one than do what he does best."
Holloway hit a 3-point shot against Lipscomb earlier this year. He attempted two against Middle and missed them both.
"I would prefer him not (take it), but he's a senior. I guess he felt based on time and score, we were having such a hard time scoring," Kennedy said.

These were amazing! The best lemon bars. The filling did bake faster than the recipe said. Made them in a glass pan and they turned out perfect.
Have made this a few times but the "filling" is too flat, it barely covers the yummy crust. So if I make it again, I'll double the filling part and add to the crust.
Made these for work, they were a hit! Doubled the filling as other reviewers suggested. This will be my go-to recipe for lemon bars moving forward.
These are wonderful! Have made them lemon-lime and recently lime. Will make this over and over. Served at a Lua and they disappeared. Someone also smattered blueberries on top (after serving), and I will try this myself!
Saw this recipe and decided to try it, even though I didn't have all the ingredients on hand. Got great results even though I changed a few things. Really easy and great recipe. Will try again soon as written, since it will probably be even better than what I came up with. So, here's what I did with what I had-- No coconut flakes, but had coconut flour on hand. So used 1/2 cup of coconut flour plus 1/2 cup of all purpose wheat flour for the crust. Seemed like the texture should have something chewy or crunchy in place of the coconut flakes, so also added a 1/2 cup of chia seeds to the crust too. I made the lemon filling exactly as written, however taking the advice of other reviews here to double the amounts. Glad I did-- the filling to crust ratio seemed perfect. Also followed the other suggestions to use parchment paper rather than foil to line the baking sheet, which in my case was a 9 x13 glass pyrex tray. I buttered the bottom and sides of the pan and then cut a piece of parchment to fit, pressing it into the buttered pan. Worked just great, no problems removing the uncut sheet of bars as a whole. I also was out of regular sugar, so used equal amounts of powdered sugar instead, which worked just fine. The chia seeds were pretty indistinguishable from poppy seeds, so it was more akin to a lemon-poppyseed bar. Really good crunchy texture. The crust was very light and crumbly, but held together fine and tasted great. A great quick and tasty recipe. Looking forward to making it with all the correct ingredients to compare the results. Not bad at all for using what I had on hand.
These are wonderful lemon bars. There is plenty of crust to use in a 9" pan and I doubled the filling recipe. I thought the ratio of filling to crust was perfect. I forgot to toast the coconut, and this yielded a chewier crust, which was still very good. This is, by far, my favorite lemon bar.
Great recipe. I made it exactly as written except that I had med eggs so I added an extra egg. No problem peeling the foil..which I had sprayed with butter flavored Pam.
My new standard lemon bar recipe! Real Simple has a very similar recipe (Coconut Lime-Curd Bars) that I adore, but I wanted to find a new lemon-specific one to make use of the abundant Meyer lemons from our family tree. To double the recipe for a family party, I kept the crust amounts as stated and doubled the filling - this filled two 8x8" glass baking dishes (no parchment paper - just greased with butter). They baked together in the oven for about 20 mins. Fabulous!
On the day of our annual Christmas baking marathon, after making 10 different squares, we decided that we needed to add a citrus, coconut square. This was very simple, easy and quick. I listened to other reviews and used parchment instead of tin foil, and that worked great. I also doubled the filling recipe that was a great idea. I also used a combination of lemon and lime juice. Next time I think I might sprinkle toasted coconut on the top.
After much cursing and gnashing of teeth when trying to gently remove the buttered foil from the edges of the bars, I switched to parchment paper. That has made ALL the difference. No buttering required, and it peels off the sides of the bars with no trouble whatsoever. Also -- I took the note of someone else and always double the amount of filling. I serve it with balsamic strawberries (from this site).

Geoff Collins ran Mississippi State's defense for a week. Now he gets to do it full time.
Collins has been promoted to defensive coordinator, head coach Dan Mullen announced Friday.
He had been co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach since joining MSU's staff in 2011.
The 41-year-old Collins replaces Chris Wilson, who has been at State since 2010 and in charge of the defense since 2011. Late Friday, ESPN reported that Wilson has been hired as Georgia's defensive line coach.
MSU's defense had its struggles this season, especially during a late skid that saw the Bulldogs drop five of their last six games. The season ended Tuesday with a 34-20 loss to Northwestern in the Gator Bowl.
Collins was given play-calling duties for that game because Mullen said he wanted to "try something different" against Northwestern's uptempo
spread offense, the kind of scheme that had given MSU trouble earlier in the fall.
In fact, Collins was handling the defensive calls during the week of practices leading up to the game in Jacksonville, Fla.
"Geoff is an exceptional defensive mind, and his energy and passion are remarkable," Mullen said in a statement.
"His experience as a playcaller and previous experience as a defensive coordinator will make this an easy transition."
Collins was defensive coordinator at FIU in 2010. That defense led the Sun Belt Conference in total defense, scoring defense and pass efficiency defense that year, just a season after being one of the country's worst units.
Prior to that, he was linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at UCF, and Collins has also held jobs at Alabama, Georgia Tech and Western Carolina.
Collins will continue coaching MSU's linebackers.
He was on the road recruiting Friday and not available for comment.

Good show, chaps
When was the last time England was relevant at all in the sporting world? And don't give us that Lennox Lewis crap. Lennox Lewis was about as British as Evel Knievel. Now Frank Bruno, he was British. How can you tell? Because last time anyone saw him, he was getting his face caved in at the Las Vegas Hilton by Mike Tyson — and was looking thrilled to be there. That's a classic sign of a British sports superstar; when you're hailed as a national hero for being just barely good enough to share the same field of play as the real champion, you know you're descended from that great line of British second bananas that includes Tim Henman, Andy Murray, Alan Minter, and "Lord" Byron DaFoe.
Typically, a British sports superstar also spends his retirement indulging in sexually ambiguous artistic escapades — Bruno became a famous British mime, which, in itself, says something. (Does America even have famous mimes?) Of course, if he's good-looking enough, the British sports star might just marry a Spice Girl and chase a $250-million-dollar deal to LA, where he'll spend a couple of injury-plagued years hideously underperforming as the city's 19th-most-important athlete, wedged somewhere between Reggie Willits and Vlad Radmanovic in the local-sports Q ratings.
So what's the reason for this anti-British rant? The latest absurd indignity inflicted upon the British rooting public, this one coming via a combination of the abovementioned David Beckham & Co. and the Gatwick Airport police. Because not only did Great Britain suffer a crushing 3-2 defeat to Croatia in the Euro 2008 soccer qualifiers this past week, the Brits further covered themselves in glory by pursuing what looks like an exceptionally overaggressive shoplifting arrest of Croatian Football Federation chief Zorislav Srebric at a Gatwick stationery store shortly before the pivotal contest.
According to news reports, the 67-year-old Srebric stepped just outside of a WH Smith store in Gatwick to shepherd his team through a security checkpoint while carrying a newspaper he hadn't yet paid for. Police were immediately summoned and the official was dragged — apparently literally kicking and screaming — into a back room for questioning. Although Srebric's identity was quickly determined, the incident continued on rather unpleasantly. Croatian authorities issued a wry comment via the Hina news agency afterward: "A London policeman thought [Srebric] was trying to avoid paying for the newspaper, which is nonsense. . . . The situation got even more absurd as he was taken to a police station where the situation was clarified, but, due to a lengthy procedure, Srebric had to spend some time there, instead of just several minutes."
Eventually, all charges were dropped, and the Croats went on to pound Britain in the match, leading to yet another avalanche of self-flagellating wailings emanating from Fleet Street. (WHY ARE THEY ALL BETTER THAN US? screamed the Guardian.) Sad for them, humorous for the rest of us. Go Croatia!

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
Excellent case. Highly recommended if you like the portable features of a gig bag but want a bit more mental assurance that your instrument is as secure and comfortable as it can be. For thye price, this is an excellent purchase.
Features: lots of them. Case includees standard hard case interior pocket under the neck. Exterior features two pockets - one of which contains multiple organizational extra's such as pencil / pen holders and small velcro compartments and slits. A very nice design for easy access to tools for composition, maintnence, and such without having to actually open the guitar case. In addition, a long narrow pocket at the neck offers scratch free storage (especially if you use strap-Locks) for a heavy duty strap.
Top notch SKB quality. I'm not worried. I mean, don't pretend its a flight case or anything - and I'll abstain from ranting about airline neglect and disrespect of traveling musicians for the time being.
It is a bit pricy, but honeslty, I don't now and don't foresee ever regretting this purchase. As a musician that has to travel into, out of, and around nyc subways and airports, I've honed in on methods of efficiency. This case is a fantastic hybrid case with ALL the conveiniences of a gig bag in transport confort and efficiency while offering added physical security and peice of mind.

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
This bag is a combination of our two usual case types. Take the insides of the traditional hardshell case, and cover it with cordura and a zipper instead of ABS plastic and metal rails. Suddenly, you have a great case. Now make it an SKB case, and it's even better. It's not going to scratch your walls, car, paint, or wood floors either. I use this case for travel from home to rehearsal/gigging. At the house my guitars are on the wall, and it sits in a closet with the rest of my cases when they're not being used.
It opens by unzipping around the case where you'd usually find your 5 latches. Inside it's exactly what you expect out of a fitted LP style case. The guitar is held snugly in place and there's no wobble with either of my LP guitars. The traditional flip-up pocket under the neck is present and is large enough for a good strap, strings, and trem bar(if needed). You have pockets on the outside for cables, pedals, screwdriver/wrench kit etc.
The backpack straps I love but are also the only source of complaint on this case. They're well padded, well stitched, make even my 11# beast of an LP Trad Pro, easy to carry, but unlike my gigbags I can't put the straps away in a pocket, so even pulled tight against the case, there's something to catch on. A minor complaint really for a great case. The price is annother complaint, but it's an SKB with a lifetime warranty, so the extra Jackson over a "quality" polyfoam case is well worth it for this one, or the same price as the Epiphone LP case(I'm not sure why the Epiphone case is half the cost of the Gibson case)
I can only speak for this case with a Les Paul, a Singlecut, and an Agile 3200, though if it fits the real thing and and two very excellent in the tradition of guitars, it should do fine for any LP style guitar. I wouldn't want to let my guitars get run over or jumped on in this case as SKB has demonstrated on their site, but I feel a lot better knowing they're inside this case than a gigbag or the traditional wooden LP cases.
I do wish they made an SG version, rather than expecting SG's to go in the universal case instead with a sloppy fit.
Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
This is basically a hardshell case that's conformed into a gig bag with backpack straps! It's solid, sturdy construction is absolutely amazing! Making gigging from club to club easier than ever before! Plenty of room for Fender folding guitar stand, picks, strings, you name it! Fits almost all LP Style guitars. I have fit an Agile Les Paul, Epiphone Les Paul, and Ibanez Art100 in this case perfectly and safely. I trust this case more than I trust any of my cases! Solid! Highly recommended!

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
Nice...I have a SKB case for each of my electric gtrs and my bass...major downside is the pocket is too small to hold a standard size file folder...thus any charts you have need to be folded-up, or stored elsewhere. But overall, a very nice case, just misses perfect.

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
I purchased this case for a Epiphone Les Paul PRO F/X model. I've never been a fan of hard cases for guitars at this price point... Of course if it were a Gibson Axcess - I'd buy a $300 flight case. My impression of the SKB case is that it basically has the same "inner" as a hard case. The Les Paul fit very well and when closed will absolutely NOT shift around. It appears to be very well made with a nicely designed zipper that almost goes totally around the circumference of the case. There is the typical inside compartment under the neck that can hold a decent amount of strings, peg winder, etc. There are also two outside pockets which are really large. The lower pocket has the typical "backpack" weird pockets assembly for stuff like pens/pencils, booklets? Not sure why so many gigbags have that kind of thing? I guess maybe they think we use our gigbags/cases to carry administrative tools? The other long neck pocket could hold a couple of normal sized pedals at the very least. The center of balance of the case with guitar is perfects. I don't carry my guitar on my back so I didn't try out the backpack straps, but they do look rugged enough. At the end of the day, I feel completely safe using this case... Very well made, fantastic fit for my instrument, and MORE than enough room to carry everything you need to carry in a case/gigbag.

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
I bought this case to house an ESP LTD Eclipse to take on the road with me when I travel for work. It was a great fit, with minimal wiggle room. This is essentially a hard shell case interior and a gig bag exterior. The interior pocket has enough room for the tremolo bar, strap, small guitar interface (Line 6 Sonic Port VX) and head stock tuner (Polytune). The pouch on the front of the body has compartments for pics and notes/books. My iPad Air 2 could have easily fit with room to spare. The cord pocket on the neck portion fit a 12ft Monster guitar cable just fine. The case fit well into the overhead compartment on the airplane. This case is well worth the money - definitely glad I bought it. Will probably use it for my back up guitar to save room in the Jeep for gigging as well - I have that much confidence in it's shell strength.

Comments about SKB Soft Case for Single Cutaway Electric Guitars:
The zipper was sewn on crooked so you had to force it to zip. Manufacturers error. Very disappointing and had to return it. Also case was too lightweight; not sturdy and the external pouch was an inch too narrow to pack music in. What a waste! I was expecting a lot more from SKB.

Newbie With A New Ehd Needs To Reorganize - Help, Please?
Posted 16 January 2011 - 09:01 AM
Enter: my wonderful dh! He just bought me a 2TB EHD! Now - what to do with it?
Keeping in mind that I want to be able to use free time to digiscrap when we travel, so leaving some stuff to work with on the computer itself might be beneficial...
And keeping in mind that all my photos and digital scrapbooking items that have been opened are neatly filed using Picasa...
Can you help me figure out how to manage it all? I know I need to use my new EHD as a backup for ALL my documents, however, I also need to move some stuff over so that I'm not using up all my computer's hard drive space.
This is what I'm working with:
-my computer has 222 GB harddrive, with only 7.62 GB free remaining.
-my current pics on the computer are approximately 9.5 GB.
-I have lots of pics I'd love to scan.
-my digiscrap folder has about 18 GB in it - open and usable
-downloaded stuff not yet unzipped is a little over 5 GB - which will expand tremendously once it is unzipped.
-my new EHD is 2TB.
Now what?
Posted 16 January 2011 - 12:11 PM
It is mind boggeling isn't it....all the supplies we have. I "copy" all my paper into one folder (still keep all the kits intact) and it has 10,986 sheets of paper in it ........Oh what fun to collect!!!!

Posted 16 January 2011 - 12:37 PM
Welcome to the world of ever-expanding need for HD space. A great big EHD like your wonderful DH got you is a great start. I keep the majority of my scrapping supplies (about 90 GB worth now) on an EHD, with a second back-up EHD (both 500GB) along with my scrapped LOs, both psd and jpg files. My computer automatically unzips files at download, so every once in awhile I'll zip up a batch from my backup HD. I have two other EHDs (750GB each) for backing up my photos. I also have a 2 TB backup for my whole LT (which had a 500GB HD). I keep current photos, photos that have been scanned and my most recent scrapping supplies on my LT for a few months, then move them to the "storage" drives. Most of my EHDs are portables, so I can take them with me when I travel. Be aware that EHDs do fail, mostly due to the backup software they come with. I lost all my scrapping stuff once. It was recovered, but all the filenames had been corrupted and were just nonsense. What a mess that was to straighten out.
I was getting a bit paranoid and finally decided that with everything on Two EHD's, The LapTop and backed up with Carbonite...If all were to fail...well It's pretty certain we are all doomed anyway Gosh I have alot of stuff tho!!!
Posted 16 January 2011 - 03:54 PM
You can back up your scrapping files to another EHD, or to Carbonite, and if the very worst happens, our fabulous customer service person, Angie, has given links for all purchases to folks who've endured a drive disaster. But you really need some free space if you're going to have the computer function well.
You might search for WinDirStat on the internet to find out what's using up the most space; it's invaluable to me. This thread, post 7, shows an example of the results: http://scrapgirls.co...1&#entry899234. WinDirStat is free.

I moved the entire digiscrap file over to the Dhd. I unzipped and filed all my goodies. Wow! It looks great!
WinDirStat is great, Barbara! Most of my space looks like ITunes music and movies - about 75 GB worth. Not sure if anything can be done about that. But it's good to know.
I didn't know what Carbonite was, but checked into it. I've talked with dh about it, and it looks like he's open to the idea of both of us getting set up with Carbonite this summer. (We'll wait until we are in the U.S. this summer, where our upload speed will be a lot faster, to do the initial setup.)
I'm interested in the comment about Ehds failing "mostly due to the backup software that comes with them." Can somebody tell me more about this?
I'm still open to more tips, if anyone has any ideas!
Posted 21 January 2011 - 12:17 AM
As a metallurgist/materials scientist who designed disk drives and worked in that industry for 18 years, I can't really support the comment "EHDs fail mostly due to the backup software that comes with them." Disk drives are built from astonishing technology, and the tolerances for successful operation are staggeringly small. When the disk is rotating at 5400 or 7200 rpm, you're lucky if there's more than one molecule of oxygen or nitrogen between the read/write heads and the disks. The tiniest contaminant will gradually damage the surface more and more until it starts really self-destructing and is unreadable; a hard drop or bounce, or flop onto a table can also begin the death spiral. Condensation from cold can also be a problem.
NEVER carry them around with some protective padding (especially the small thin ones,) and ALWAYS set them down gently. If you've had them in a car and they've gotten colder than about 50F or warmer than about 85F, let them equilibrate for a while at room temperature before firing them up.
Disk drives are fabulous, and amazing precision instruments, operating in most cases for long times at high speeds and tight tolerances. My detailed work experience in the technology only puts me in further awe that they work so well. Sadly, that means they are at risk, too, even in "normal" operation in a stationary desktop.

This is an important game for the Owls when it comes to bowl implications. With the MAC Title no longer at stake, it'll be interesting to see how Temple comes out. The MAC is affiliated with three bowls, but the conference can always send more teams as some of the major conferences don't always fill their bowl slots.

If you're in need of a lot of storage space but don't have a lot of room, look no further than the Marvel 15 Inch Outdoor Refrigerator with Stainless Steel Cabinet and Locking Door (3OARM-SS-B-L-R, 3OARM-SS-B-L-L). Designed specifically for use in outdoor climates as a built-in or under-counter unit, this refrigerator utilizes a forced ventilation system enabling you to increase your placement options.

To maximize placement versatility, this outdoor refrigerator can also be used as a free-standing unit. The MicroSentry™ refrigeration monitor uses advanced microprocessor technology to monitor the temperature in real-time and then displays it on the discreet amber LED screen.
The Marvel 15 Inch Outdoor Refrigerator with Stainless Steel Cabinet and Locking Door has a full wrap door with a professionally-styled bar handle as well as an integrated door lock with key access for added security. The powder-coated door has a reversible hinge and recessed gasket to save space. Inside you'll find easy-to-clean molded surfaces all around, as well as three (3) chrome-plated wire shelves that can be easily adjusted to create 3.0 cubic feet of storage space. With ample interior lighting, a fully automatic defrost feature and the ability to operate efficiently in outdoor climates, this refrigerator is the perfect addition to your outdoor living areas.

Stoeger 3500 can't beat it for the price IMO
I own a Beretta A400 and a Beretta A391. I love both guns, but if I was looking for a gun today, I would take a hard look at the new Beretta A300 for the money. To be honest the recoil difference between most of newer semi-autos is minimal.
I have been a Remington owner for many years, have a 12 and 20 Ga matched set of Skeet B 1100's that will never leave here. My workhorse is an 1187 which has shot many birds over the years. I got to try a super vinci a few months ago, liked it a lot, very low recoil, breaks apart so easy for cleaning ( one gripe about the 1187), It is significantly lighter than the 1187, so I was over swinging on birds due to weight diff. Overall I did like the SV, but price for one is unreal.
" Paddle faster, I hear Banjos!"
I have either tried or owned most semi's, my SBE2 was my go to gun but not any longer. the new Beretta A400 xtreme has to be the lightest shooting gun I have ever used, can even stay on birds when shooting, LUV this gun and not hard to look at either. Once I got it fitted, made all the difference, got to luv new technology , if you ever get the chance try one! 4 of my buddies picked one up after shooting mine
I have both the SBEII and the Beretta A400 Extrema. Both guns feel about the same as far as recoil goes. I finally got the Beretta fitted properly and am shooting it on par with my SBEII. Even though both have 3.5" chambers the only time I shoot 3.5" is for Geese or Turkey. My 14yr old son is shooting the SBEII now and I'm shooting the A400. I really don't have a preference of one over the other. It all depends upon the game being hunted. Waterfowl is a toss up. Turkey and upland game it's my SBEII because of the 24" barrel.

Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and Lauriers Faculty of Music raise awareness of stolen sisters
Sep 19/13| For Immediate Release
Debbie Lou Ludolph, Director
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO The Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and Laurier's Centre for Music in the Community, along with their partners, are performing a music and word festival, titled Sing Fires of Justice for Stolen Sisters, on Sunday, Oct. 6 to raise awareness about the number of Aboriginal women who go missing or are murdered in Canada, and to support local drum group Mino Ode Kwewak N'gamowak (Ojibway for Good Hearted Women Singers).
The evening will feature performances by Laurier Aboriginal students, the Good Hearted Women Singers, and a combined choir of community singers, the Laurier Singers, WLU Chapel Choir and the UW Conrad Grebel University Choir. Laurier Associate Professor Lee Willingham and Instructor Gerard Yun will conduct the choirs. Between the musical offerings, award-winning author Lee Maracle will tell stories that explore the injustice of Canadas missing Aboriginal women.
Maracle was born in North Vancouver and is a member of the Sto: Loh nation. She is currently an instructor in the Aboriginal Studies Program at the University of Toronto, teaching the Oral Tradition of Ojibway, Salish and Longhouse people, and a distinguished visiting professor of Canadian Culture at Western Washington University. She has also spent much of her time doing healing and cultural reclamation work in Aboriginal communities in Canada. Maracle recently received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for her work promoting writing among Aboriginal Youth.
Its going to be a wonderful event filled with story and song that will build relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, said Debbie Lou Ludolph, director of the Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song. At the same time, it is true that Aboriginal women in Canada face a shockingly high rate of violence and our hope is that this event will increase public awareness and honour the Aboriginal sisters, daughters, mothers and grandmothers that have gone missing.
The event begins at 7 p.m. at St. Matthews Lutheran Church, 54 Benton St., Kitchener. It is free and open to the public. Free-will donations will be accepted to support the Good Hearted Women Singers.
The event is sponsored by the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, the Laurier Centre for Music in the Community, Lauriers Office of Aboriginal Initiatives, the Royal Canadian College of Organists and St. Matthews Lutheran Church.
About Sing Fires of Justice
Sing Fires of Justice grew from a choral workshop and celebration of Reformation Sunday at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary to an annual ecumenical musical event that raises awareness of community issues and has involved church, university and community choirs, the Royal Canadian College of Organists, members of the Kitchener-Waterloo and KW Youth symphonies, and guest speakers.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:07 PM GMT on May 27, 2008
Residents of Parkersburg, Iowa continue to assess damage and clean up from the tornado that killed six people on Sunday. The tornado was rated EF-5, the highest possible rating for a tornado. An EF-3 tornado also hit Hugo, Minnesota on Sunday, killing one person. Only five new tornado reports occurred yesterday, and severe weather is expected to remain relatively low for the next two days. A new storm system is expected to bring an enhanced chance of severe weather to the upper Midwest beginning Thursday. The deaths Sunday push this year's tornado death toll to 110. This makes 2008 the 12th deadliest tornado season since 1950, and the deadliest since 1998, when 130 deaths were recorded. Assuming that the Parkersburg, Iowa tornado was an EF-4 or EF-5, there have been nine violent EF-4 or EF-5 tornadoes this year. This is the most since 1999, when 13 such twisters were recorded. The total (preliminary) number of tornadoes so far this year is 1191. I doubt that we will break the all time record of 1817 tornadoes in a year, set in 2004, but 2008 may vault into second place if we can top 1998's 1424 tornadoes. Could this year's tornadoes be a sign of climate change?
Figure 1. Tornadoes deaths in the U.S. by year since 1950. Year 2008 deaths are as of May 26.
Well, let's be clear that human-caused climate change is occurring, and will significantly affect nearly all aspects of weather and climate in the decades to come. However, many of these changes will be so small or gradual that they will not become detectable until many decades hence, since there is a large natural variability in weather. As I noted in my February blog, Are tornadoes getting stronger and more frequent?, there is new research that predicts that we may see an increase in the severe thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes by the end of the century. However, the computer modeling efforts that predict this rise in severe weather are just beginning, and much more research remains to be done before we can believe these preliminary results.
Will we be able to detect changes in tornado frequency if they occur?
We won't be able to detect changes in tornado frequency due to climate change, unless there is a very large change. We need a technology that can detect all tornadoes, all the time in order to be able to evaluate changes in tornado frequency. Doppler radar can only "see" perhaps 50% of all tornadoes, and many of those it detects never touch down. Thus, we rely on human observers to spot tornadoes, or look for buildings that got in the way of a tornado, using the damage pattern to identify a tornado. If there are no humans around to see a tornado, and if a tornado does not encounter any structures, it will go unrecorded. As the population increases and more buildings are erected, tornado reports will increase. This factor alone can account for the observed increase in total tornadoes since 1950 (Figure 2).
Is there evidence that strong and violent tornadoes are increasing?
Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale) and violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5, or F4 and F5 on the pre-2007 Fujita Scale), which make up less than 25% of all tornadoes, cause a large fraction of the tornado deaths. These storms are less likely to go uncounted, since they tend to cause significant damage along a long track. Thus, the climatology of strong and violent tornadoes may offer a clue as to how climate change may be affecting severe weather. Unfortunately, we cannot measure the wind speeds of a tornado directly, except in very rare cases when researchers happen to be present with sophisticated research equipment. Tornadoes are categorized using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which is based on damage. So, if a strong or violent tornado happens to sweep through empty fields and never destroy any structures, it will not get a rating. Thus, if the number of violent tornadoes has actually remained constant over the years, we should expect to see some increase in these storms over the decades, since more buildings have been erected in the paths of tornadoes.
However, if we look at the statistics of strong and violent U.S. tornadoes since 1950 (Figure 2), there does not appear to be any increase in the number of these storms. In fact, there appears to be a decrease, although the quality of the data base is probably not good enough to say this with confidence. It appears likely that climate change has not caused an increase in the strongest tornadoes in recent decades. I believe we can blame 2008's nasty tornado season on an unusually far south loop that the jet stream has taken this year over the U.S., thanks to natural variability in the weather.
Figure 2. Total, strong and violent tornadoes in the U.S. by year since 1950. The year 2008 (not pictured) has had 128 strong or violent tornadoes as of May 26, according to Wikipedia.
Possible development in the Western Caribbean or Eastern Pacific late this week
A weak low pressure area (Invest 90E) has developed in the Eastern Pacific off the coast of Guatemala, near 10N 90W. This low has the potential to develop into a tropical depression by the end of the week, according to the UKMET model. Other models, such as the GFS, Canadian, and ECMWF, foresee that this area of disturbed weather will not have time to develop before moving northwards over Central America by the end of the week, bringing heavy rains to the region. Once over land, this low might move over the waters of the Western Caribbean and allow a tropical depression to form, as predicted by the GFS model. The NOGAPS model, in contrast, predicts that a tropical depression will form in the Western Caribbean south of Cuba, with no development in the Eastern Pacific. Given the persistence of these computer models over the past week in developing something in the region, I'd put the odds of a tropical depression forming within 7 days at about 40% in the Eastern Pacific, and at 20% in the Western Caribbean. There is a lot of wind shear predicted to prevail near or over the Western Caribbean late this week and early next week, reducing the odds that any such development could hold together long enough to affect the U.S. Regardless, residents of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize, and southern Mexico can expect heavy rains and possible flash flooding late this week from this system.
Figure 3. Area of disturbed weather over the Eastern Pacific that is forecast by some models to develop into a tropical depression. The NHC Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook is a good tool to track this disturbance.
I'll have an update by Wednesday afternoon.

Obama's DOJ Tries to Sneak Around Supreme Court GPS Tracking Ruling, ACLU Upset
Jason Mick
January 17, 2013 2:08 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! (says the DOJ)
The American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) hit a brick wall when its Freedom of Information Action (FOIA) of 1966 (
§ 552
) lawsuit requesting detailed documents on GPS tracking procedures was rejected by the U.S. Department of Justice.
I. GPS Tracking is Back
The issue of GPS tracking has been a contentious one. In some high profile incidents federal agents, state police, or local police have attached GPS trackers to citizens' cars and used the continuous tracking as incriminating evidence. While law enforcement agencies contend that GPS surveillance is a powerful tool for fighting crime, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) clearly thought otherwise,
deciding unanimously
U.S. v. Jones
, 10-1259
; PDF) that
planting GPS trackers on citizens' vehicles
generally is a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
Following the January ruling, the FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann provoked ACLU scrutiny when he spoke at a February law enforcement convention in San Francisco, suggesting that other forms of location tracking were arguably legal.
While not specifically mentioned, one such form of tracking would be to seize citizens' cell phones or request records from mobile carriers in order to gain a record of locations based on tower pings. Such tracking has only been used in a handful of cases nationwide, but is growing in use.
GC Weissmann also suggested that boats and other types of vehicles may be fair game for tracking as his interpretation was that the SCOTUS prohibition was narrow, only covering GPS tracking on cars.
The FBI argues that it may still be legal to use GPS tracking on boats.
[Image Source: Ron Niebrugge]
He also makes reference to a pair of memos, detailing how tracking was to be carried out.
II. ACLU Gets Non-Answer From DOJ
In the wake of those comments the ACLU filed suit to obtain those memos, arguing that their release would make clear whether the FBI and other DOJ agencies are actively pursuing such forms of location tracking, and what the rules are (e.g. whether a warrant is required).
The DOJ gave the ACLU the memos this week, but they were almost entirely redacted, leaving little useable information. The sweeping redactions were justified in a note from the DOJ that cites the stipulation that FOIA requests can be redacted to prevent the release of information that would aid criminals.
In a
blog post
Catherine Crump, an attorney for the ACLU, blasts the DOJ memos, writing:
The Justice Department's unfortunate decision leaves Americans with no clear understanding of when we will be subjected to tracking — possibly for months at a time — or whether the government will first get a warrant.
Privacy law needs to keep up with technology, but how can that happen if the government won't even tell us what its policies are?
The DOJ release the FBI memos, but it redacted most of the details in the documents.
[Image Source: Iceni]
Given the DOJ's relative non-response it appears that the DOJ and ACLU will continue to square of in federal court or possibly in another Supreme Court case.
The ACLU's position is clear -- warrantless tracking is a danger to Americans' freedoms.
The DOJ's position appears to be that while it will respect the SCOTUS rulings narrowly, it will freely engaged in any form of investigation not explicitly prohibited. The Obama administration has gone to bat for the DOJ in court, arguing that when it comes to law enforcement, sometimes
safety trumps the need for transparency and protection of civil liberties
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

This was for just a bit over one year's time! The cost of the food & booze, alone, blew my mind! Nobody can convince me there isn't a TON of waste in Fed spending.USAF TOOK NANCY 'S JET AWAYThe real reason that Nancy Pelosi is considering retiring is that they took her Jet away.As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the USAF releaseddocuments detailing House Speaker use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010.
Ah, poor baby!
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen month period.Several of these flights included Ms. Pelosi's guests, such as grown children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends and hangers-on.
Over 95% of the trips were between the west coast and Washington DC , for what you might call a commute between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!!
- Total trips: 85 over a 68 week period, or 1.25 average trips per week.
- Total mileage: 206,264 miles, or 2,427 average miles per trip.
- Total flying time: 428.6 hours, or an average of 5 hours per trip.
- Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744, or $27,715 per trip, or $1,285,162 per year!
- Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429; $1,193 per trip; $62,051 per year.
On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J
Brandy, Bailey's Irish Cream, Maker's Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewar's Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey,Corona Beer and several varieties of wine.
This was obviously a very important "gubment bidness" trip.Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial drinking problem, for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American!
When she said, "… If the stimulus doesn't pass, five hundred million (the US only has about 300 million including children) people might lose their jobs…", thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. Now more inclined to think she was pickled.
I count 457 days ... if she stayed in a hotel at $150/night each of those days, it would have cost just a little bit more than the amount spent on the food & booze alone!
Since Congress is not in session 365 days a year, what the heck was she doing?

Due to tropical depression "Falcon", a total of 845,449 people across regions X, XI, XII and ARMM in Mindanao have been affected by flooding by 25 June. According to the latest OCHA situation report, forecasts for central Mindanao show continued scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has also raised storm warnings in many parts of Luzon.
The ARMM Government, with the coordination of UN agencies, INGOs, and NGOs, conducted the Damage and Needs Assessment (DANA) from 15 to 20 June. The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in ARMM will lead the consolidation of the final report with the assistance of OCHA.
On 24 June, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Soliman asked the UN Humanitarian Coordinator to support the government in providing assistance to 36,232 families (about 181,160 people) in Cotabato city in Mindanao. Requested assistance includes food, drinking water, non-food items (NFIs) such as tents, tarpaulins, and blankets, latrines and medical supplies, logistics assistance, and funding for early recovery initiatives.
Need for assistance to other areas in Maguindanao, North Cotabato, and South Cotabato was also raised in the meeting between DSWD Assistant Secretary Vilma Cabrera and MHT members including UN agencies, INGOs, and NGOs.
Humanitarian agencies are looking forward to receiving the official results of DANA and planning for humanitarian aids.
WFP has begun its food distribution, which consist of 25 kg sacks of rice and cooking oil per family, in Sultan Kudarat in Mindanao on 25 June. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will distribute rice, sardines, jerry cans, mosquito nets and hygiene kits to 2,500 families through local partner Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
The water, sanitation, and hygiene partners are working on the preparation and coordination of packaged assistance (hygiene kits, family support kits, etc.) delivery. Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Cotabato will co-lead the work with the Government in lieu of UNICEF. IOM will resume co-leadership in Camp Coordination and Camp Management.
Logistics assistance has also been activated. UNICEF informed that it will request OCD to assist in transporting nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene supplies to Mindanao.
The City Local Government Unit (LGU) predicated that the flooding could persist for 4-6 weeks provided there was no new heavy rainfall. During the response, coordination meetings between the Government and MHT will be institutionalized and will take place every two weeks.
