The World Health Organization (WHO) has just released their
latest report, "Health for the World's Adolescents." The
report reveals information from published evidence and
consultations from youth 10-19 years old. It answers questions
such as what is the number one cause of illness and disability
among adolescents. The focus of the report? To bring more
"accelerated action on adolescent health."

1) Aim laser pointer at my own plane, parked in a hangar.
2) Turn myself in for "intentionally aiming a laser at an aircraft"
3) Profit!
4) Serve up to 5 years in prison and pay a fire of up to $250,000
5) Be unemployable with a prison record.
Brilliant plan there, sport. Go for it.
Pay homeless people $100 to point lasers at airplanes while recording them.
You'd think they'd have just put polarized glass in the cockpit by now if it were that big of a deal. Oh wait... that's right, it's not that big of a deal.
Why do we continue to allow things like this to get blown so far out of proportion that we end up sending 16yr olds to prison for something that never really had a chance to do harm to anyone in the first place? A landing aircraft is moving faster than freeway traffic at it's slowest. Without computer control and actuators there is no way a person could, by hand, hold a laser on a cockpit window for more than a tenth of a second. If a pilot is unable to land a plane after a flash of light that brief, we'd better start making lightening illegal because it's a hell of a lot brighter, and more common than a laser strike.
Polarized glass will do nothing. The issue with the laser is that, by time it reaches the plane, it's spread a fair amount. When it hits the glass of the cockpit, which has various minuscule scratches and dirt and whatnot, it gets lit up like a Christmas tree. Polarized glass will suffer the same fate. It's the dirt and imperfections that blind the pilot.
QFT, last year I sat in the cockpit during an evening landing in Egypt (Sharm-el-sheik) and where I had previously dismissed the whole pointing lasers thing, that landing quickly brought me around. Granted, pilots generally land on the instruments anyway, but looking out the windows was certainly not an option anymore because of the effect the laser pointers had on the canopy.
One of the things I had always wondered (and asked the pilots) was 'Who would do such a thing? What do they gain from it?' until we were walking around in the (touristic) city centre at night. Tons of shops that sold massively overpowered laser pointers and more importantly: lots of small kids waving those things around.
Because in Egypt the military was using aircraft and snipers to shoot protesters. So it's common there now to "lase" aircraft to point them out to other people so they know to take cover.

Notice there are hundreds of lasers on these things... yet there's a a surprising lack of blind pilots or aircraft crashing into crowds.
Yes, it's technically possible this could hard the pilot. But practically? Not very likely. These pilots circled the crowds for hours every night for months with hundreds of lasers trained on them the entire time without incident.
1. Sharm-el-sheik isn't really the center of protests (certainly not when I was there). I'm going to have to doubt your assertion "it's common there now".
2. Helicopters have this unique feature of being able to hover in the air and move in all directions at very low speeds. Landing airplanes don't have that luxury.
3. I'm pretty sure the instruments in a military chopper are a lot more capable to deal with loss of visual capabilities than civilian aircraft. Infra-red vision may well have been available to th
Did you even notice that most of these laser were pointed at the biggest part of the aircraft and not the cockpit? The pilots are also probably using very expensive visors and cameras to see where they are going and not actually looking out the window. You are comparing military aircraft to civilian aircraft. Not a valid comparison.
But practically? Not very likely
It has happened [dailymail.co.uk]
I feel sorry for these kids prematurely losing their vision at such a young age. It's just a matter of time.
Go to Cairo, breath the leaded-gas fume encrusted air, fight off the wandering dogs, dodge traffic, learn that their more important industry is tourism of all things and that it's on shaky grounds with the country undergoing political turmoil, that their whole economy is tanking, that the nation's credit rating is falling, and then reflect on the need to keep laser pointers out of the hands of children.
I mean, I get the sentiment. That some of these kids are going to look into the things and have their visi
Just remove the windows from all planes, and install body scanners everywhere within a hundred miles of any route.
When it hits the glass of the cockpit, which has various minuscule scratches and dirt and whatnot, it gets lit up like a Christmas tree
no it doesn't and i say that being someone that's shined lasers through glass many times. and i can guarantee a plane's cockpit window is much cleaner than the windows i'm talking about.
if the glass is clean you'd see basically nothing. if it was dirty, you might see a bit of color. that's it.
no it doesn't and i say that being someone that's shined lasers through glass many times.
Many cockpit windows are not glass, they are plexiglass. Glass is very heavy. Plexiglass tends to pick up lots of micro-scratches from improper, and even proper, cleaning, and it crazes over time from stress and sunlight. Even properly cleaned plexiglass cockpit windows suffer from glare and light splatter, and after a short bit of time during a flight they can have a lot of insect dirt on them, too.
and i can guarantee a plane's cockpit window is much cleaner than the windows i'm talking about.
I don't know how you can guarantee any such thing unless you are personally cleaning every one of them prior
Do you know how diffused the beam is by the time it gets to the cockpit's dirty plexiglas window?
Plenty of first-hand observations in this thread tell you that you're flat out wrong.
You'd think they'd have just put polarized glass in the cockpit by now if it were that big of a deal. Oh wait... that's right, it's not that big of a deal.
If it were as simple as polarized glass they might actually go that route. Unfortunately for everyone, it is much more complicated than that. [wikipedia.org] You need specific lenses to protect from specific wavelengths (of which there are many).

With high powered lasers (that are surprisingly easy to come by) [wickedlasers.com] a fraction of a second is all it takes to cause serious and often permanent eye injury. [wikipedia.org]

Ahem. Beam divergence.
At the distance an aircraft would be from the laser-pointer, the spot will have spread sufficiently that this is not the case.
If you solve this problem (you're not), the Navy and Air Force will make you rich.
Polarized for which orientation?
Polarized for which orientation?
All. I propose NON-transparent aluminum.
How about you learn how electromagnetic waves propagate before spreading bullshit?
How will a polarizer magically prevent pilots from being blinded by a high-power laser?
and what about the rotary winged aircraft (helicopters) where normally it would be incredibly hard to polarize such complex glass surfaces. Those aircraft also fly closer to the ground meaning that the flash of light is much more intense. they also are not normally moving at speed and hovering making it easier to aim said light at the cockpit and longer flashes of laser light can blind or ruin a pilots career.
Way to jump to conclusions. every think why New York City was a pilot location? if you read the fbi
You have no clue. While a 5mW legal laser pointer is not that much of a deal, you can get far larger ones online. And they can blind pilots longer, or permanently. The analogy to lightening also cannot hold water, because that does not come without warning (remember that planes always have good weather reports...). And then there is an indirect kill possibility. In some places cretins shining lasers at air ambulances are a problem. If the pilot has to do an emergency landing while transporting a patient in
Completely blind the flight crew during lift off or landing isn't a 'big deal'? heicopterpilots that have there eyes damaged is no big deal?
Please, please try to understand why polarized glass would not solve this problem.
"cockpit window for more than a tenth of a second. "
which is all you need to lose focus and be distracted as is, can see the instruments. sure, it's may only be for 4 or 5 seconds, but by then you have hit the ground.
You could probably find a more erratic person willing to take less than $8K of the 10K, but I would imagine you'd want to deal with a fairly rational person who doesn't feel resentment towards you (i.e. for getting ripped off). The goal of this plan is to rip off the government and the tax payer, not the fall guy.
What the government should do, is offer $20K for turning in the orchestrator of a laser pointer arrest reward scheme.
A crucial part of the plan was not getting caught.
A crucial part of the plan is identifying yourself to the police as someone who knows about a crime and turning someone else in. That pretty much rules out "not getting caught" as any significant concern, since if nobody gets caught you don't get the reward.
Identifying yourself to the police as someone who committed a crime is different than identifying yourself to the police as someone who witnessed a crime and wants to collect a reward.
The fall guy is supposed to get caught for point a laser at a plane. The person collecting the reward not supposed to get caught for fraud.
Identifying yourself to the police as someone who committed a crime is different than identifying yourself to the police as someone who witnessed a crime and wants to collect a reward.
I know that, so that's maybe why I said that part of the plan was "identifying yourself to the police as someone who knows about a crime and turning someone else in" and not "identifying oneself as the criminal". Someone has to get caught, and YOU are the one who is making sure they do. "Not getting caught" is not part of the plan, since nobody gets paid if nobody gets caught.
The point is that you are making sure that someone gets caught, AND the person who is getting caught is the one you conspired with
The fall guy is supposed to get caught for point a laser at a plane. The person collecting the reward not supposed to get caught for fraud.
It wouldn't be fraud. It would be conspiracy to point a laser etc. etc. so you would get convicted just as the person who actually did it.
I can't imagine it would have any real affect or we'd read about planes falling out of the sky left and right all over the world.
Yep. Precisely how many planes has any laser brought down so far? Have lasers become a standard military weapon yet? If so I'd expect to see Al Caida and the Taliban routinely using laser pointers to crash US aircraft. But oddly enough, we don't...
Let's get real. Is a laser pointer a mile away going to disable both of a pilots eyes? AND both of a copilot's eyes? And how long were you blinded when a supermarket checkout scanner laser last caught your eye? Did you crash your shopping cart? Did you cal
Al cicada?
right? Right?
Its a knee jerk overreaction to people being so freagin retarded in this country. If you don't have laws, enforced laws, with teeth, people do whatever to the full extent of what is allowed, with no common sense whatsoever.
Now, everywhere in the world has that issue, but just not to the full extent the US has it (as far as the "first world" goes). I've lived in multiple countries for a number of years, and now I'm in the US, and its just shocking. People smoking while leaning on a no-smoking sign. People screaming on top of their lungs in the street at 3 in the morning. People letting their dog bark for hours while cheering it on. Lines while waiting at a busy bus stop? Hell no! If there's no risk of jail time, not only someone will do it, but a LOT of people will do it.
And people pointing laser pointers at anything and everything.
Its such a ridiculous society that doesn't give a flying duck about their neighbor. EVER. So you end up in a world where everything has to be fucking spelled out with someone in uniform wacking them behind the head all the time like little babies, or they won't apply the slightest bit of common sense.
You need to read a better source. 40,000 laws is pure grade balognium
And blinding a flight crew is not frivolous.
This one isn't frivolous. It has put pilots and crew in the hospital with eye burns.

While it hasn't led to air crashes YET it is still a serious form of assault on someone in a critical position.
Some states still have the death penalty for attacking a first responder. Something to think about.
You didn't hear it
I guess no trees make noise when you aren't around.
Damn, everyone and his brother should accuse their worse enemy. $10,000 is $10,000. Oh wait, no one is actually going to prosecuted and this is all just a mind fuck? Say it isn't so.
Get a family dollar pointer, point a plane, toss pointer by enemy neighbor porch/car door.
Call report strange laser
Government is going after "snitches" Supreme Court just stood behind forcing Time's reporter to turn over his anonymous source over a CIA operation he wrote about. They want to arrest Assange/Snowden, they got Manning, making government employees scared to snitch on illegal government activity. Yet the government wants citizens to snitch on each other!?
Fuck off, I ain't reporting shit,
One can report someone for shining a laser pointer, they are arrested but not convicted -as they didn't shine it at a plane, in fact at the time no planes were in the air.
Profit (just a bit of your time)
It's just a source of structural weakness in the airframe anyway. Just get rid of the windows and replace with cameras.
then they're fucked.
seriously, what a terrible idea.

According to Gov. Phil Bryant, Mississippi is making some major strides when it comes to economic development.
"We're number five for entrepreneurs, which is for small businesswomen in the nation," says Governor Phil Bryant. "We're number nine for economic development opportunity in the nation. If you look at when we were in the bottom, we were 50th, and now we're number nine in the nation for economic development success. We surpassed $100 billion GDP for the first time ever in 2012. Mississippi is doing much better than ever before, and I think that we're just heading in the right direction."
"The 150 new high skilled jobs that are coming to Raytheon in Forest are great so that people can provide for their families," says Sen. Haskins Montgomery, who represents District 34 in the Mississippi Legislature.
Montgomery, and other state leaders contend that the expansion that's now taking place at Raytheon is an example of growing economic momentum in Mississippi.
Bryant projects that legislators will not have to make cuts next year.
"Our revenue has been so high." says Bryant. "We've helped to create about 5,700 jobs. The return on corporate taxes have been higher than ever before because corporations are growing; they're coming to Mississippi. So, you'll see about a 2.4% growth. That's outpacing the rest of the nation. We will not have to make cuts for the first year in a long, long time, and we're going to put money in the rainy day fund."
"There will be no budget cuts to the military in Mississippi, I can guarantee you that," says Sen. Terry Burton, who represents District 31 in the Mississippi Legislature. "Also, there will be some additional funding available to us to do some things that we really need to do in education, the military, public safety and other areas."
The Mississippi Legislature will convene in regular session at noon on Jan. 7, 2014.

The Ubisoft-published, cel-shaded shooter XIII (A.K.A. Thirteen) has awoken unclear of its past on GOG.com. The first-person shooter is an adaptation of the Franco-Belgian comics series of the same name from creators Jean Van Hamme and William Vance.
XIII is available on Good Old Games for $5.99 and features both single- and multiplayer modes as well as a few GOG.com extras (avatars and the game's soundtrack).
The game begins when a man--codenamed XIII--wakes up somewhere in New York, badly wounded and with no memory of his past. Starring the voice talents of David Duchovny and Adam West, the game was released to mixed reviews when it launched for the PC, Xbox, PS2, and GameCube in 2003.

Update: Sidin's second book "God Save The Dork" is now available on Flipkart. This is the sequel to the first book Dork and follows the adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese in London. If it is as enjoyable as Dork, it would be a must-buy.
In the recent few weeks I've read quite a number of books, so instead of writing long thoughts on each, this time I am penning down a paragraph or two for the books I've read.
Known Turf – Annie Zaidi
What an awesome book! I read a non-fiction after a long time, and the book made me rue the fact that I had been concentrating on fiction. Annie Zaidi writes about her experiences while she was reporting about forgotten villages and people. This book is an eye-opener. We live in amazing comfort, while we waste food in the 2-3 meals we take everyday, infants are dying of hunger.
This book is a must read.
Rating: 4/5
Bougainvillea House – Kalpana Swaminathan
I had read very good reviews about this book – some reviews termed this as one of the best thrillers from an Indian author. While the book was not bad, it wasn't good either. Maybe it was just me, but I felt the book was really dark, really sombre – not my cup of tea.
Rating: 2/5
And Thereby Hangs A Tale – Jeffrey Archer
I have no doubt, Sir Jeffrey Archer is one of the best writers of the current generation. His novels have always been captivating, but I feel they pale in comparison in front of his short stories. This collection of short stories leave you salivating for more. As soon as I finished this book, I picked up his other collections that I have, and reread some more of his short stories. Without a doubt, my favourite author.
Rating: 3.5/5
The Gamechangers – The Fake IPL Player
It was touted as a tell-all book, but it told nothing new. A good time-pass read for anyone interested in cricket and IPL. One should not go out of his/her way to get this book and read it.
Rating: 2.5/5
My Friend Sancho – Amit Varma
[Read this a year back, writing about it now 🙂 ]
The most acclaimed blogger of India pens down his first novel, and it surely was a very good read. I have a feeling that a movie could be easily made out of this book, with Abhay Deol playing the role of the protagonist – the journalist: Abir Ganguly, Paresh Rawal could easily portray the role of the inspector Thombre, and somebody like Amrita Rao could play the heroine Muneeza. Anyway getting back to the book, one small grouse – there was excessive use of foul language, although it did not bother me much. And an awesome aspect about the publication was the font, margins used in the book – made the reading experience really enjoyable 🙂
Rating: 3.5/5
Paths of Glory – Jeffrey Archer
Anyone who is interested in mountaineering or simply interested in adventure stories – this is a must read. George Mallory had died in his attempt to ascent Mount Everest in 1924. Whether he was able to reach the summit, is a question that has been unanswered for decades. The author has weaved this story around George Mallory, claiming that he indeed reached the Everest peak. This book is an invigorating read – I wanted to climb the Everest after reading this book 🙂
Rating: 3/5
Dork – Sidin Vadukut
[Even this book was read nearly a year back]
This book is a must must read. Absolutely hilarious, it reminded me of Dilbert.
Rating: 3.5/5

It's sad, but once CLANNAD gets its own forum and reaches the "5 pages of new post in the latest episode thread 2 hours after airing" status, I know I'll probably be gone.

Kaoshin_Sama is more or less trying to make a statement about the blind, rabid fanboyism of many Kyoto Animation/Key worshipers (who lash out at anyone daring to value these works as something less than pure platinum).
The rest will merely download the anime and game, despite their enthusiasm. That's the nature of this fandom. Free entertainment, with the flimsy justification that we're doing copyright holders a favor by raising product awareness.
My hope is for those who really love certain products to eventually support the official releases, even if purchases are decided on a try before you buy basis.

A drama CD adaptation of CLANNAD Another Story was recently announced. Four CDs are planned so far, with the first one releasing on the 27th this month, covering the first four chapters altogether. Two CDs each. Cast is the same as the other drama CDs and the movie, with Nojima Kenji being Okazaki Tomoya.

As far as I know, as someone who hasn't played through the VN before, the story is very intricate and lengthy, going into details about each of the characters along each of the routes.
My honest suggestion is, if you don't understand it, don't play it just for the sake of the CGs! Because with Maeda Jun's writing style, you won't understand any of it. Thus pretty much destroying your image of what a wonderful experience it could have been.

If we both like the anime then we can atleast say our tastes are similar in that one thing. IS IT GOOD? I don't wanna know how long it will take to play, I don't care just how complex it is, I just want a simple f***ing opinion on if it's good or not. Is it funny? Sad? Can you base it off of anything else that can tell me if it's worth it to ME or not? I don't want some detailed lengthy statement that acts as if I make games myself and can appreciate all the little extraordinary things about it. I seriously don't know a lot of things that people say about this game. It's a game, meant to be played and enjoyed, not a showcase for the company and all the hardware terms used to describe it.
Please, don't bother anymore, if I can't get a straight and simple opinion out of anyone, it just means I'm not going to like it. End of discussion.

The straightest answer is Yes, like Ascaloth said. But it actually depends. If you have zero experience of playing a visual novel/reading an actual novel, then the answer is definitely a 'no'. CLANNAD is a long long story such that I certainly won't recommend it to any first timers. In fact, most of the top class visual novels are too lengthy for first time players. Instead, I'd recommend ANY first-timers to play narcissu or something as short.
I remember playing an English visual novel made by an non-Japanese but I forgot it's name. It begins with the main character meeting a girl on a moonlit beach who is later found to be a ghost and such. It's free, and there're multiple endings depending on the character's choices. If anyone recalls please tell me--really want to see it again.

Crystal, try starting by listing things you liked of similar genres, whether or not you're fond of reading stories of 1st person perspectives, or extremely long stories and such. No matter how good Clannad is, if one cannot relate to the material and its execution, it's pointless. It's like asking someone who cannot stand psychological horror and tentacles to play Saya no Uta or someone who's not fond of Nasu's writing style to like Fate and Tsukihime.
We will never know if it'll be worth your time if you just outright ask like that. Not everyone thinks Harry Potter is a great series. Not everyone enjoys a Song of Ice and Fire. The world is made of diversity and differing opinions.
I never played much (( just restarted on the PC version one to coincide with the anime since I have no time for PS2 Clannad with Persona III and ACE III. )), but from little I played, it's simple atmosphere and enjoyable characters (( Sunohara )) were good enough to pull me into it.

That's enough, I got what I was looking for, I'm not going to get the game. This is the end of discussion. I seriously can't control myself and the next offense I make gets me banned(though when the time comes, I probably won't care).
Thank you all for your wonderous help, I'm out.

Jewish loyalty
I don't think that anyone has to doupt Jewish loyalty to any country that we live in or have ever lived in. The Jews have always been the most loyal citizens and have contributed more to their host country than anybody else ever did. No American Jew in hius right mind is going to vote for a war that he thinks is bad for the U.S. Plenty of U.S.Jews were against the war in Iraq. And don't American non-Jews also want to stop Iran? So why is this becoming a Jewish issue? True, the Jew has an added reason, to help his brothers and sisters, and this is how it should be. And who knows if it weren't for times like this that H-shem gave them such power? (Like Mordechai said to Esther).

Is the opposite also fair
I am a very strong Zionist for 45 years. I go to Israel often and am very supportive of The Jewish State. I, however, am totally against the US involvement in Irag. It has not made the United States or for that matter Eretz Yisrael. The history of US involvement was based on poor intelligence with no plan for occupation or withdrawal. The Irag War is responsible for the current crisis in Iran. Which is far more dangerous for Israel.

Superfluous Question
Questioning the existence of divided loyalties is superfluous – everyone has divided loyalties. We are obligated to ourselves, our families, our clans, our peoples, our countries, and humanity as a whole. The real question raised by Rabbi Salomon is whether Jewish tribal loyalties precede national loyalty, and whether there is a conflict between those loyalties. "Are you a Jew first or an American first?â€NSM_BADCHAR=<0x9d> is a question that most American Jews seek to avoid, especially when asked by a non-Jew.
The rabbi's discussion side-stepped an even more difficult question for some of us – what are the loyalties of Jews who are both American and Israeli citizens? Personally, I don't see a conflict of interest, but I admit to being somewhat schizophrenic about this. When I am in Israel, I am Israeli, when I am in America, I am American. Here in Israel we face more difficult questions. Do I owe greater loyalty to the Jewish settler whose "illegalâ€NSM_BADCHAR=<0x9d> settlement must be uprooted, or to the Druze soldier who will fight beside me in battle?
Rabbi Salomon supports a position that is expedient and pragmatic. That is good. But it would be a mistake to suggest that the problem is not real.

Leaders of the US' National Rifle Association (NRA), an influential gun-rights group, told members on Saturday that the fight against gun control legislation is far from over, but they vowed that none in the organization will ever have to surrender their weapons.
Proponents of gun control also asserted that they are in their fight for the long haul and have not been disheartened by last month's defeat of a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales.
The association's convention comes as debate over gun control legislation in the US has reached a fever pitch in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December last year, in which 20 young children and six educators were killed.
The NRA had a major victory regarding gun control last month when an expanded background checks bill supported by US President Barack Obama and other lawmakers in response to the Connecticut shooting failed to pass in the US Senate.
However, the group lost ground in some places, as several states passed laws expanding background checks and banning large ammunition magazines.
During a fiery and defiant speech on Saturday, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, the body's public face, said the "political and media elites" have tried to use Sandy Hook and other recent shootings "to blame us, to shame us, to compromise our freedom for their agenda."
He said the proposed bill "got the defeat that it deserved" and that the measure would do nothing to prevent the next mass shooting.
"We will never surrender our guns, never," LaPierre told several thousand people during the organization's annual member meeting, which was part of the yearly NRA convention being held over the weekend in Houston.
More than 70,000 members are expected to attend the three-day convention, which began on Friday. Acres of displays of rifles, pistols, swords and hunting gear could be found inside the convention hall.
Incoming NRA president James Porter said Obama's gun control efforts have created a "political spontaneous combustion" that has prompted millions of US citizens to become first-time gun owners and created a national outrage that will manifest itself in next year's midterm elections.
"The Senate and House [of Representatives] are up for grabs," Porter said during Saturday's meeting. "We can direct this massive energy of spontaneous combustion to regain the political high ground. We do that and Obama can be stopped."
LaPierre said the NRA now has a record 5 million members, but he urged for increased membership and added that it "must be 10 million strong" in its battle against gun control.
Meanwhile, across the street from the convention, advocates of expanded background checks and other gun control measures vowed to continue their fight.
Kellye Bowman of the Houston chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a national grassroots effort promoting gun control that was started after the Sandy Hook shooting, said her organization was not discouraged by last month's failure of the gun control bill. She said its defeat actually increased her group's membership.
Bowman, who described herself as a fifth generation Texan who grew up shooting guns, said her group's primary focus now is meeting with legislators and supporting those who agree with their efforts, and using the ballot box to remove those that do not.

So I was walking alone to the grocery store today and I started analyzing the strangest thing in my head. I was basically wondering whether a dominatrix would be a better dog trainer than your average person, because she has a better sense of rewarding and punishing and where the line should be drawn. wtf right?
So have you had any of those bizarre moments where you're alone with your thoughts and you suddenly realize "what the fuck am I thinking?"

This thread may be controversial to some but as a noob I find it very helpful.
I have a set of stainless blades being forged by Takeshi Saji and Hiroom Itou.
The handles will be custom made by members on this forum.
The Saji blades will have Wa handles and the Itou blades will have Western handles.
I'm wondering if anyone sees value in Wa handles on some profiles and Western handles on other profiles?
Off topic a bit but I'm interested in thoughts of others ....

So my other car is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's a pretty nice ride - 4.7 liter V8, lots of bells and whistles that i probably will never use.
Recently, its been doing some pretty weird things. Console screen in the center headliner (the mini screen) has been reporting some interesting errors. For example: "Memory seat diabled" "vehicle not in park" etc. These errors I'm not too concerned about, kind've annoying, but I can deal.
My actual question is - occasionally i get an Injector Error. I plug in the ODBII code reader in and it reads Injectors 2,4,8 as bad/faulty. I clear the error, its fine. The engine runs great until i get a code error, then it runs like crap. I Plug the reader in, clear the code, engine runs great again. Now, naturally i would just replace the injectors and get on with my life but 3 Injectors on the same side going out at the same time? The car does not backfire at all, and it runs like crap but not like 3 injectors on the same side going out crap. does that make sense?
I've tried fuel additive, Injector cleaner, lots of stuff to try and clean the system out. the error has gone out by itself. but comes back. Mostly when I'm cruising 60-63mph.
Another question - The Jeep has 195k on the engine. It didn't start doing this funky errors untill around 192-194k mark. Could it be that i need to replace the timing chain? it could be spraying the fuel at the wrong time and the computer thinks its faulty?
i hope this makes sense.. i was trying to type this as it was rattling out my mouth

Submission + - RIAA Wants Net Neutrality to Include Filtering (arstechnica.com) 1
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes: "The RIAA is now worried about the FCC's rulemaking concerning Net Neutrality. Specifically, they're worried that the rules might make it difficult for ISPs to filter out copyright infringement and child pornography, so they want to make sure that spying on and filtering internet traffic is okay, so long as it's being done for a good reason, even if it doesn't work correctly and blocks non-infringing content. Incidentally, the RIAA has some justification to lump child pornography and copyright infringement: after all, people might infringe upon the original cover art for the album 'Virgin Killer' which featured a naked under-aged girl in a way that some consider pornographic. The copyright on it belongs to RCA Records."

The other day, I turned on the radio in my car and heard someone discussing some important foreign policy issue, and I was impressed by his intelligence and expertise. After the segment ended, I was amazed to hear it was Bill Richardson. I hadn't been able to tell that I was listening to a presidential candidate.
But are the debate avoiders sleazy shirkers?
[A]ides to the major candidates have concluded that the sheer number of debate and forum demands combined with a sprawling field of candidates on both sides have made them more of a hindrance than a help, at least for now.It's easy to see why the candidates who already have the money and the limelight opt out. They are behaving rationally. The only way it will change is if they get a message that we are judging them harshly. Richardson is trying to frame debate avoidance as shirking responsibility. But since no one's paying attention to him, can he have any effect shaping public opinion?
They are, the argument goes, time-consuming and money-burning obligations in which a candidate will realistically get perhaps eight minutes to lay out his views. That is because of the many candidates that are guaranteed to be on stage, since the field on both sides includes candidates that most voters — indeed, most political reporters — have probably never heard of.
In that kind of situation, the most likely way to stand out from the pack is to make a mistake.
The cost of participating in a debate? Days spent on preparation and travel to the often smaller cities where the forums are held. These obligations can take candidates out of states like Iowa and New Hampshire, with their culture of relatively small candidate-to-voter encounters, which presumably can be more valuable for candidate and voters alike.
And, really, do people want debates at this stage? Debates are incredibly tedious and annoying when there are a lot of candidates. The ones who know they don't have a chance -- like for example, in 2004, Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich -- can speak in an entirely different way from the "real" candidates. A debate between real and show candidates is not a level playing field. The show candidates can speak from the heart, swing wildly, and deliver zingers, while the real candidates must maintain somber decorum and make absolutely sure that not one phrase will look wrong taken out of context. It's no wonder the frontrunners won't go there.

Hello everyone, my name is Patrik and I come from the beautiful land of Slovakia.
I have just joined this wiki very recently, though I have already contributed with several pages, or edited some else to fill them with extra informations. They are mostly about Grand Theft Auto V and my main source was Gameinformer. I will be happy to contribute more if there is any new information.
As you can read on the right side, my favourite game is Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I like the character of Michael very much and I think I will spend most of the time when not on mission playing for him. Although other characters of GTA V seem to be cool, too, Michael is in my humble opinion the most badass one. I simply don't like meth heads, like Trevor is. :-)

You can compare directories on two different remote hosts as well:
diff -y <(ssh user1@host1 find /boot|sort) <(ssh user2@host2 find /boot|sort)
To avoid password-prompt on remote host just generate the rsa key locally and copy it to remote host:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh you@server1 "mkdir .ssh"
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub you@server1:; .ssh/authorized_keys2
commandline for mac os x
Quick shortcut if you know the hostname and want to save yourself one step for looking up the IP address separately.
remove the host for the .ssh/know_host file
If you have servers on Wide Area Network (WAN), you may experience very long transfer rates due to limited bandwidth and latency. To speed up you transfers you need to compress the data so you will have less to transfer. So the solution is to use a compression tools like gzip or bzip or compress before and after the data transfer. Using ssh "-C" option is not compatible with every ssh version (ssh2 for instance).
This improves on #9892 by compressing the directory on the remote machine so that the amount of data transferred over the network is much smaller. The command uses ssh(1) to get to a remote host, uses tar(1) to archive and compress a remote directory, prints the result to STDOUT, which is written to a local file. In other words, we are archiving and compressing a remote directory to our local box.
The command uses ssh(1) to get to a remote host, uses tar(1) to archive a remote directory, prints the result to STDOUT, which is piped to gzip(1) to compress to a local file. In other words, we are archiving and compressing a remote directory to our local box.
This is also handy for taking a look at resource usage of a remote box.
ssh -t remotebox top
Play local mp3 file on remote machine's speakers through ssh
Creates the .ssh directory on the remote host with proper permissions, if it doesnt exist. Appends your public key to authorized_keys, and verifies it has proper permissions. (if it didnt exist it may have been created with undesireable permissions). *Korn shell syntax, may or may not work with bash
This one is a bit more robust -- the remote machine may not have an .ssh directory, and it may not have an authorized_keys file, but if it does already, and you want to replace your ssh public key for some reason, this will work in that case as well, without duplicating the entry.
pub key in ./ssh/authorized_keys needed because ssh-ed ssh can't ask for the password.
analyze traffic remotely over ssh w/ wireshark When using tcpdump, specify -U option to prevent buffering and -iany to see all interfaces. Show Sample Output
Create a secure tunnelled connection for access to a remote MySQL database. For example, connect with MySQL Workbench to firstname.lastname@example.com:13306. Show Sample Output
Requires you to have password free login to remote host ;) Requires xclip and notify-send (If you want to put into clipboard and be notified when action is completed). DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)-$(($(date +%N)/10000000)); HOST="ssh host of your choice"; DEST="destination folder without trailing slash"; URL="URL for file if uploaded to web enabled dir ie. import -window root png:- | ssh $HOST "cat > $DEST/screenshot_$DATE.png"; echo $URL | xclip; notify-send -u low "Screenshot Taken" "Entire screen.\nCopied to clipboard" Show Sample Output
This command will: 1. open an SSH tunnel to 2. go to background 3. wait for 10 seconds for the connection 4. during the 10 seconds wait it will localy run 'rdesktop' to connect to the remote host through the created SSH tunnel. Password-less log in can be achieved (when server allows it) by adding '-p ' to the 'rdesktop' command
Now at the end of the rsa.pub file, there is our comment like= ".................peXeuE0ytJgpQcXeR5aHlfLa8dAt0obasd hello@world"

Not so fast... No application to sharks
That might explain why my doctor found a worm in my stomach with the x-ray this morning.
That might explain why my doctor found a worm in my stomach with the x-ray this morning.
Nah, that worm was probably from the Tequila.
So what happens when it things some thing is in it way? will it self sacrifice an unit to knock some thing down with out even thinking about what damage that can do to others?
I'm not sure what kind of wire you have in mind, but that's almost 30kg for a 1km 12 gauge wire.
You'll probably want a + and -, so make that 60kg.
you might as well just add a couple of car batteries to it if it can lift that much.
Oh, and I forgot about the weight of insulation for the cables.
You might say lets use a thinner wire. We'll just put a high voltage on it, and down convert it at the top.
Then you get into tensile strength issues and increasing resistance.
And then you've just added a bunch of weight for a power converter to your flying device.
I have to say it's not looking good for your cable idea.
But, can it fly with 1km of power cable hanging off it? My guess is about 125g / m, but even 1/5th that you can get 25g / m or 25kg of additional weight. That's as much as my 9yo son and I'm pretty sure the current rig couldn't lift him. Where are my numbers wrong or do you really think this is doable? I realize the flight time of current batteries is low, but there aren't many other options. Perhaps supplemented with solar energy or at worst a gas-power motor with an alternator.
Maybe a pure cable would be too heavy, but Edison showed us that an aerodynamic cable would work. His aerodynamic cable was a kite on a wire. Insulate and hang on tight.
A turbine engine can also be a generator if you build it that way. Microturbines are becoming fairly efficient...
so.. there's some central control. when they snap together they have comms going between. obviously, to make it fly any well at all.
The individual vehicles of the Distributed Flight Array have fixed propellers that can lift them into the air, but the resulting flight is erratic and uncontrolled. Joined together, however, these relatively simple modules evolve into a sophisticated multi-propeller system capable of coordinated flight. The task of keeping the array in level flight is distributed across the network of vehicles. Vehicles exchange information and combine this information with their own sensor measurements to determine how much thrust is needed for the array to take-off and maintain level flight. If the array's leveled flight is disturbed, each vehicle individually determines the amount of thrust required to correct for the disturbance based on its position in the array and the array's motion.
Consider reading my above comment Technology marches on [slashdot.org]. It leads with a suggestion specifically addressing those who don't RTFA - take a look and follow the advice.
The Invincible, by Stanislaw Lem [wikipedia.org]
Someone watched the terminator movies and thought "self assembling robots that act as a team, have the ability to fly and determined to wipe out the human race? How can I get on the ground floor of this exciting new venture!"
"No, no, I don't mind being called the smartest man in the world. I just wish it wasn't this one." -- Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, WATCHMEN

Hundreds of people gathered at Heights Church in Prescott on Saturday evening. Many were looking for answers in the aftermath of this week's wildfire tragedy.
Six of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who died fighting the blaze in Yarnell, along with their families, attended church at the Heights. The service was the first since those brave men lost their lives one week ago.
During the service, there was standing room only. The congregation was reeling from the loss. At times it seemed even the pastor was at a loss for words.
"Tonight is one of those nights where I know less about what to say," said Pastor Ron Merrell.
Adam Andrews drove from Flagstaff to attend the service. He was close friends with two of the men lost in the fire.
"They stood up like men every day. They went to work loving their job and the genuinely cared about the people around them," said Andrews.
The crowd wasn't a surprise to anyone at the church.
"It's so appropriate this community showed up the way it did," said Andrews.
Many people overwhelmed with despair left with a message of hope.
"Words don't always work. Sometimes just being there for somebody and showing them the love of Jesus is what counts," said Heights member Caren Willey.
"I think being a smaller community people will take this to heart and this will be something that is remembered for a very long time," said Heights member Chuck Wynn.
"These guys stood with each other and for each other. We need to do that together. We should all learn from them," said Andrews.
Three services are scheduled for Sunday morning at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.

Hi all,
I've no idea if I've put this in the right place or even if anyone can help.
I've made a fillable PDF form and we would like to put it on our website.
At the moment, best I can do is have a Save button on it, but it means that people would have to fill it in, save it, then attach it to an email to return.
Putting a submit button on the form isn't really doing much - even doing mailto: just gives the exact same scenario.
Ideally, we would like people to fill the form in and then just click Submit and the completed form will wing it's way to us (I've seen forms on some government websites like this).
I can't work out how to do it though - I've been told that to do that, the form needs to be submitted directly to a web server - as opposed to to trying to send it via email.
Does anyone know what I need to do? Be gentle with me though - I'm clueless!!

Best Parks for Boat Camping
Set course for boat-friendly camping in state parks.
Here are a half-dozen state parks around our coastlines, with a variety of activities and overnight facilities for weekend visitors. For more information on the following state parks, visit www.floridastateparks.org.
On the Atlantic Coast
Sebastian Inlet provides great saltwater fishing, championship surfing and treasure hunting at the site where a Spanish galleon fleet sank 300 years ago. Only 30 miles south of Cape Canaveral: 321/984-4852.
PARK INFO: Boat ramps are located on both sides of Sebastian Inlet State Park. Boaters have access to the brackish waters of the Indian River Lagoon, the Intracoastal Waterway, the freshwater of the Sebastian River and to the salty water of the Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf Stream is located about 25 to 30 miles east of Sebastian Inlet. For powerboat and pontoon boat rentals, contact the Inlet Marina at 1-800-952-1126. The Inlet Marina has boat dockage available for a monthly or an overnight stay.
John Pennekamp Park in the upper Keys is the first underwater park in the U.S. with canoeing and kayaking on the surface plus an aquarium and hiking in the uplands: 305/451-1202
PARK INFO: Boat slips and moorings are available at the marina for overnight rental. Slips are located in the marina and include water and electric hookups with bathroom and shower facilities nearby. Mooring buoys are located in Largo Sound with dinghy dockage at the marina. Both include full use of park facilities, trash disposal and pump-out. Reservations are recommended. For more information, contact the marina at 305/451-6322 or on VHF Channel 16.

So, when do the tachyons come into play again? There's always tachyons it seems.
They spelled it right, you just changed it by reading it.
The joke was funny, you just changed it by telling it.
I wonder if they dangle.
Until observed, they are both dangling and not dangling.
That would be cunning.

Gear Review
When Wilson launched its Spin Effect technology last year, the Steam was the flagship frame line. Whether it was the concept, or the merits of the frame, it gained quite a following; through the first half of last year, the Steam 99S was the third best-selling racquet at specialty stores, and second among frames introduced in the last 12 months.
It seems inevitable that when a racquet is popular, it's not long before a lighter-weight sibling is rolled out. But while the frames may look identical, oftentimes the playing characteristics don't come close to comparing.
Thankfully that's not the case with the Steam 99LS. It's lighter and softer than it's beefier brother, but still has enough pop and spin to push opponents deep in the court. It's probably too light to stand up to advanced competition, but it still has enough substance for aspiring juniors who like to hit with spin, or intermediate adults looking to apply more of it to their strokes. And if you add a little weight to the frame, it's capable of doing the job at higher levels of play. If you found the Steam 99S too heavy or stiff, the 99LS is definitely an improvement.
One of our testers, Kin Roseborough, head stringer at the Family Circle Tennis Center in Charleston, SC, even preferred it. Here's his review:
Kin Roseborough: Having long been a 95-98 sq/in, 12 oz., flexy frame kinda guy, I looked at the specs of the Steam 99LS and shook my head. No way was this a racquet for me; I'm only testing this to give feedback for the players in the 99LS target market.
Wrong! Not only is it a frame I can play with, I don't want to give my playtest demo back.
To my surprise, I was able to pick up the 99LS and get dialed in right away. I felt connected and able to rally with depth and pace from the first ball. Remarkably maneuverable and a spin demon—as advertised—I found the Wilson 99LS capable of producing solid groundstrokes off both my forehand and one-handed backhand. The sweet spot is large, but surprisingly controllable. I also found the LS to be much softer and less jarring than its 99S sibling I demoed last summer.
The very first ball I served with the Steam 99LS landed in the box, just inside the service line, and hopped over the back fence. While this was due in part to the ball striking the front edge of the tape on the clay court, it was only because of the massive spin from the 16x15 string pattern that the ball kicked that high. The remainder of my serves stayed inside the ballpark, but hitting heavy spin or flat bombs was effortless with the Steam 99LS.
At the net, the Steam is lightning quick and remarkably stable for a sub-11oz frame. I found it easy to put away volleys and overheads off weak shots, but the 99LS was solid even against heavy balls coming with pace. There was enough flex and feel that I also felt confident in attempting drop volleys and touch half-volleys.
Having hit the 99S last summer and not enjoyed the experience, I was thinking that a lighter version of the same frame would be a "one-and-done" hitting session. Instead, the 99LS was my favorite racquet from a demo group that included some well-reviewed and coveted frames. By making a more flexible, much more head light, and simply better feeling all-around frame, Wilson has sold me on the benefits of the spin effects. If I were to switch to the 99LS, I would add a leather grip and make judicious use of lead tape to get the set-up a little more in line with my preferences. But honestly, I think I could play 4.5, 45-and-over doubles with it stock.
Info & Specs
Young players seeking extra spin from a maneuverable frame will love the Steam 99LS. It is the same responsive Steam frame but extremely light. With the Spin Effect Technology and extremely lightweight frame, this will give you the perfect blend of power, control, spin, and feel.

In the past, I've posted blog entries and video on new products that are about to hit the stores. More than once, I've had to answer email about why those products are not yet out even though it's way past the reported release date. This time, although I did write about the Bosch miter saw while attending an event held at Bosch's US company headquarters outside Chicago (click here to read that entry), I held off on the video until we had the saw in house.
It's here and we thought you should get a close look at what I consider to be the most innovative woodworking product enhancement to come down the pike in a long time. Bosch's GCM12SD is a 12″ miter saw that uses an axial-glide system instead of tubes or rails as found on other miter saws. The operation of the articulated arms is smooth and tight and that system allows the saw to sit closer to your shop wall than any other miter saw out there (just more than 13″ from the wall to the fence).
This is a 12″ miter saw and there is a small amount of deflection when the blade is fully extended, but I think it's less than most other 12″ dual-bevel sliding compound miter saws. The upfront controls make this saw very user-friendly, but there are a couple small things that bother me. I'll mention those in a full review in our April 2011 Tool Test column. Until then, here's the video.
In the December 2008 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine we review other 12″ sliders. (Get a copy here)

An interview with Janet Leet, owner of SUB5 Dynamic Running Specialists in Arlington Heights.
Q: Describe your business. What do you do?
Address: 43 S. Dunton Ave., Arlington Heights
Owners: Janet Leet
When business started: 16 years ago
Web address: www.sub5dynamicrunning.com
A: I am a running mechanics specialist. I work with middle school, high school, collegiate, and adults to develop the skill of running. We call it dynamic running. I get a lot of individuals who have injuries who come to me to help get them back to their sport. 93.8 percent of the people do not run correctly. Injuries occur with a mileage increase or a pace increase or both.
Q: What made you start your business?
A: I have actually been in business for 15 years but 14 of those out of my house. Kids asked me to coach them after I started a running camp called SUB5 Girls Distance Running Camp. I developed that camp to the largest overnight all girls running camp in the country.
Q: What has been the most difficult obstacle in running or starting a small business?
A: Getting the courage to move out of the house and into my own facility has been difficult.
Q: What do you enjoy most about operating your business?
A: I enjoy watching the spirit develop in the athlete. I get a lot of people who have had no hope due to continuous injury and watch them find their way back. I get to see that spirit come back.
Q: Is this what you pictured yourself doing when you were young? When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: I worked with an Olympic Training Center scientist when I was in high school and now I work with him on human movement to research today. He got me to run without injury through my entire high school career and help build me into a national champion at that time. I took those skills to my collegiate running career where I was a 10 x All American and World Cross Country Champion in Cross County. I went through this program as a youth and I have always wanted to share my passion.
Q: What keeps you up at night?
A: Injuries are puzzles to me. So some of my clients will keep me up if I feel we are not heading in the right direction. I think about it and try and develop different ways to go after it.
Q: If you could give one tip to a rookie business owner, what would it be?
A: Be your passion.

I think it's not OK that they used this babysitting time that was allocated for a medical procedure, to go shopping, especially since they didn't * ask * but rather just *did*However, I was wondering, how handicapped is you grandpa? How much does this make your grandma housebound, so to speak? Who usually helps her out?Because, while it wasn't OK,, and it certainly isn't the OP's responsibility, I could see her thinking in terms of 'yay! Thanks to granddaughter, I have a few hours of 'freedom''
On Saturday? Twice?That sets off my hinky meter.I don't know about the rest of the world, but I have never had any surgical procedure - and I have had 5 outpatient ones in the last year and a half - scheduled on a Saturday. Like the rest of the world, my various doctors take weekends off, except for emergencies. Since Grandma's procedure was re-scheduled for a week later, it's not an emergency.If it happened around here (Colorado, USA), I would look at those shopping bags, and be sure they had taken advantage of me. I would not fall for it a second time.
They said they could call someone to come relieve me and I said it wasn't necessary.
She just said that her friend might be able to come over after work if I needed to leave.

I do see where you're coming from, and I agree that this can be done in a rude way. But when someone posts asking for advice, they're opening themselves up to advice from people with all different perspectives.If someone posts "Someone in my life did [something] and it bothered me. Can I call them on it?" it is valid for another poster to say "Honestly, I think you are being a little sensitive and could cause damage to the rel@tionship/your reputation/whatever if you do what you're proposing/what PPs have suggested." Sometimes it's hard to see the bigger picture when you feel hurt or slighted, so it's reasonable for posters to point out when they think someone is overreacting to something that wasn't actually rude. Again, this should always be done politely. We really can't limit responses to only those that support the OP. That would really defeat the purpose of a discussion board.I think it is just the nature of the internet, and discussion boards in particular, that when you put something out there it is going to get commented on. We can take what we find value in and ignore what we don't.
Is it the same topic I saw? Because I was offended by a comment on somebodies behalf and being told they were a "worrier" based on other topics from other threads.
I guess I'm still a little confused then. (I swear I'm not trying to be difficult!) I agree that the phrase "get over it" is not very diplomatic, but I still think that it's OK to (politely!) express the opinion that the OP is overreacting, even if others in the thread have offered advice first. I think we need to be sensitive to each other, and if a poster is upset, I would not want to add to their stress. But sometimes our personal baggage/background/triggers make situations seem bigger than they are, and it can be helpful to have someone say "You know, I think this has become a bigger deal that it should have. It's probably best to leave it alone now." (Or something like that.)Even if it's just one poster who feels that way. We've all been there where something triggers us and we get disproportionately upset with some situation and we can't see it because we're in the middle of it. I just don't see the value in coming here and only having people allowed to validate you.But maybe I am still misunderstanding the types of threads you mean. Can you give an example (not from an actual thread, but maybe just a quick generic example?)
Well, having been in this situation myself, I can see both sides of it. Sometimes it does seem like people are overreacting, but on the other hand, being told that you are "oversensitive," "overreacting," "get over it," "looking to be offended," etc. can have the effect of adding fuel to a fire. So I think the sentiment needs to be conveyed in wording that is less blunt and shows more empathy for the other person.I think it's fine to say that the person is having a reaction one would not expect to have oneself and that the course of action one would take oneself would be X.
Are people actually using the phrase, "Get over it!"?
Quote from: jimithing on October 10, 2010, 12:03:20 PMAre people actually using the phrase, "Get over it!"? They may not be, but the point being made is that words like "overreacting," "oversensitive," "looking to be offended," etc. can have the same effect on someone as "get over it."
Quote from: KeenReader on October 10, 2010, 12:11:14 PMQuote from: jimithing on October 10, 2010, 12:03:20 PMAre people actually using the phrase, "Get over it!"? They may not be, but the point being made is that words like "overreacting," "oversensitive," "looking to be offended," etc. can have the same effect on someone as "get over it."They may have the same effect, but they aren't the same thing. The OP said that we are talking about tone and diplomacy, and I think there is a world of difference between telling someone to "get over it", and that it seems like they are "overreacting." Do you believe none of the above terms should ever be used? Because I do feel that would be unreasonable. And again, if you are posting on a message board, seeking advice, you need to be prepared to hear dissonance. I don't feel that telling someone that they parehaps are being a little too sensitive is the same thing as telling someone to get over it.

South Carolina has won 21 straight games in the NCAA Tournament. That's not a typo.
Florida knows it all too well, unfortunately. The Gators were victims No. 15 and 16 in last year's College World Series championship series, with the Gamecocks winning their second straight national title at Florida's expense.
The two teams will meet in Omaha again on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN after South Carolina polished off Oklahoma in two games in the Columbia Super Regional.
The Gamecocks dropped the Gators 2-1 in their first meeting in Omaha last season when the Gators blew a bases-loaded, no-out opportunity for a walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth inning. Two Florida throwing errors in the 11th inning allowed South Carolina to come away with the win, and the Gators never recovered.
A sloppy showing in the second game ended Florida's chances of winning its first national title, as South Carolina cruised to a 5-2 win.
The Gators have won three of the four games between the teams this season, including a 7-2 win a few weeks ago in the SEC Tournament.
Both teams are 5-0 in the NCAA Tournament so far this year. Florida beat N.C. State in the Gainesville Super Regional to advance to Omaha.
The other teams in Florida's half of the bracket at the CWS will be the winners of the Arkansas-Baylor and the Oregon-Kent State super regionals.

As the first game developer to head to space, Garriott brought along more than the DNA of select gamers and Stephen Colbert. He also brought along a little game, which GameCulture bills as "the first intergalactic mini-ARG," referring to alternate reality games often used to promote games.
According to the report, Garriott carried into space a card with a coded message using the hieroglyphics of Tabula Rasa, the MMO which launched in November of 2007. Video of Garriott holding the card was broadcast back down to Earth, where a more legible version of the card was posted.
It wasn't long before fans at PlanetTR decoded the message, a translation of Soviet rocket scientist Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky: "Earth is the cradle of humanity but mankind will not be in the cradle forever."
Garriott docked with the International Space Station today and will return to Earth on October 24.

SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County Courthouse opened a 42,000-square-foot expansion in the fall, but Cynthia Nicholson and her assistant are just fine caring for children in an old baliff's room.
The Children's Waiting Room, a small space on the first floor of the courthouse that offers free child care for parents making court appearances, was passed over for a new, larger area in the courthouse basement during the expansion that could have provided space for cribs and playpens.
Although Nicholson and assistant Kyle Hughes still have to hold every infant that comes through the door because of the lack of room for cribs, they said they are pleased with the setup and glad to help as many children and parents as they can. The room can handle about six or seven children at a time before Nicholson places a full capacity sign on the door.
"We try to do the best we can with what we have to work with," Nicholson said. "The important thing is, it is a safe place for children and it's nice to be so close to security."
The room is just large enough for a front desk, some bookshelves and a small play area in the middle of the room. There is no TV, as Nicholson said the focus is on playing and reading with the children.
The space has worked well the past six years, but its history of expansion in a short time shows it could require more space as more people use the courtroom each year. The waiting room started as a three-day-a-week service, but is now open Monday through Friday and serves roughly 600 children a year.
Pat McMahon, president of the board for the Children's Waiting Room, said it would be up to courthouse officials if the room should ever move to a larger space, but it is not a concern for the nonprofit, which has maximized its resources.
The operation has a $22,000 budget, which comes from a $5 fee applied to all civil cases, some grants and community donations. McMahon said Barnes & Noble has been especially generous throughout the years, recently donating 100 books. Each child who is cared for leaves with a free bag and book.
"We would have glady moved, but we are happy to stay where we are," McMahon said. "It's wonderful to have a place where the children won't be disruptive in court or have to hear things they shouldn't be listening to."
Those interested in helping the organization can donate new or gently used books at the courthouse, 133 W. State St. in Sycamore. McMahon said board books are always needed because small children tend to rip pages in paper books. Cash donations are also accepted.
How to help
The nonprofit Children's Waiting Room at the DeKalb County Courthouse accepts donations of new or gently used books, as well as cash donations, at the courthouse, 133 W. State St., Sycamore. Board books for small children are particularly in demand.

What's up at Dove Valley?
The answer to that questions is, thankfully, not much.
After what has most likely been the craziest off-season in franchise history, May is settling in to be just a normal, quiet month in Broncoland.
Other teams around the league held minicamps last weekend. Not the Broncos.
Other teams are dealing with trade demands (see: Cardinals, Arizona) or quarterback drama (see Vikings, Minnesota). Not the Broncos. Finally.
All Denver players were off last week. Veteran players are back at Dove Valley this week for conditioning work with strength coach Rich Tuten. All position coaches have this week off. The team's rookies are off this week, but will be back in town next week for more conditioning work. The team's next minicamp — a passing camp, no less — is after Memorial Day.
The team's final minicamp is June 12-14.
So for now, Bronco Fan, enjoy the quiet and the fact that the NFL drama is, for now, happening elsewhere.
(Hope I didn't just jinx it …)

Reader says Obama is too inexperienced to be the next President
Dear Editor: Earlier this year Senator Obama finally repudiated Reverend Wright's anti-American, anti-white and anti-Israel sermons, because he had to do it to save his presidential campaign. Wright repeatedly used these sermons over the past 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama has been a member for the 20 years.

The first New York Polo Grounds was the only one where polo was ever actually played. It was located across from the northeast corner of Central Park. The Gothams/Giants played there from 1883 thru 1889. A highlight of those days was a mammoth homer by Roger Connor which cleared the right field wall and landed on 112th Street. Connor was the actual "big man" who inspired the new name "Giants." He stood 6'3'' and weighed 220 pounds, apparently huge for 1883. He hit 138 career homers, which was the record until Babe Ruth passed that number in 1921.
In 1889, after the Giants had won two consecutive championships, the powers-that-be who ran New York City decided to expand the street grid into that part of town, and without much advance notice, they tore down the first Polo Grounds. The Giants had to find a new place to play.
