GOP Illinois Hopeful Says Dementia & Autism Are God's Punishments For LGBT Equality
Homosexuality is nowhere to be found in the Ten Commandments, yet God is so pissed off about it that he's screwing over entire generations of humans, according to a lunatic hoping to achieve political office in Illinois.
Susanne Atnus, a Republican candidate hoping to unseat Rep. Jan Schakowsky in a district that includes part of Chicago, tells the Chicago Daily Herald that humanity is being punished by God for tolerating the LGBT community.
"I am a conservative Republican and I believe in God first," Atanus said. She said she believes God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth as punishment for gay rights and legalized abortions.
"God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions," she said. "Same-sex activity is going to increase AIDS. If it's in our military it will weaken our military. We need to respect God."
David Earl Williams III, another candidate in the race, took issue with the bigoted remarks from Anus (typo and it stays!).
Williams responded that AIDS is spread by unsafe sexual practices in all people, not just homosexuals, and said that as a veteran he was offended by her comments.
"I've served with people who were gay during, 'Don't ask, don't tell' and you aren't worrying about if someone is gay or not, you're worrying about if you're going to live the next day," Williams said.
Unfortunately, Williams went on to say that he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, but added that the government should stay out of the marriage business.
Good luck, Chicago.
Okay first and foremost God is a loving God. Always has, always is, always will be! If you read the Bible, ask for wisdom and understanding you will find this out. God doesn't curse people. When Adam and Eve fell death and DISEASE entered the world. God will not strike anyone down with sickness because this other person or persons did such and such. He sent His only Son for everyone. I am so tired of these people using God for their own agenda and goals. Their death spewing tongues makes it evident that they haven't a clue who God truly is and what He truly stands for.
ok there is more to the ten commandments then those little sentences people keep chattering about . Those are titles i guess is the best way to put it . for the law of Moses. which covers a lot of stuff including marriage diet ect .and it does specifically mention homosexuality. And again latter in the New Testament when one of the Apostles was asked about morales . He said be even as I celibate . He was divorced and probably gay . This why men joined the church and then became monks living in caves they dug out in the mountains all over eastern Europe . Now I your going ask where did I get this.. well its all there . If its important to you research it ..Try reading the bible . How can you say your Christian if you've never read it . Don't be lead blindly like sheep . because sooner or latter you'll be led to the slaughter . ..... PS sorry about my typing its been 45 years., other than some texting
My nephew was diagnosed as autistic before abortion was legal and way before Gays ever thought of "coming out"!!
My mother has dementia and she wasn't lesbian, though she felt that sexual preference was up to each individual person and they should keep it to themselves. She was a Christian woman and I don't believe that she was being punished for what other people believed or did!!
There are to many people out there who want to get into government and mind everyone's business other than their own.
Why doesn't someone ask her -- and make her sit there until she answers -- why God, even if *He* were totally pissed off about abortion and homosexuality, would visit terrible things upon the innocence? Would it not be better for that vengeful anthropomorphic God to punish the very people who have offended *Him*? -- I mean, what with him being so all powerful and all.
Or does Ms. Atnus really find it in her heart to worship an always-vengeful, never-compassionate deity that is also wantonly cruel one, a *God* who thinks that if enough unjust pain, suffering and destruction is visited upon those not guilty of the abhorred sins, then those who escaped unscathed will reek horror and havoc on those guilty of the particular sins Ms. Atnus doesn't like.
Ms. Atnus needs to get out of politics and go spend some quality time in Sunday Schoool.
Yeah, right. This yahoo does not have a snowball's chance in Hell of unseating Jan Schakowsky. Not only is the district that Ms. Antus running in very liberal (in addition to Chicago, it also includes liberal enclaves such as Evanston, Skokie, and Winnetka), but Rep. Schakowsky has been serving the 9th District for 5 terms and has always won with at least 2/3's of the vote. No way can Ms. Antus unseat her. Nor will the other guy, Mr. Williams.

Longtime federal judge visits UF to talk about his career
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The 33rd annual Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law will impart lessons and wisdom gathered over a long and distinguished legal career, as senior circuit judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit Emmett R. Cox presents, "Thirty Two Years on the Federal Bench: Some Things I Have Learned."
The lecture will be March 21 at 10:30 a.m. in the Chesterfield Smith Ceremonial Classroom, HOL 180. The event is free and open to the public.
Cox was nominated in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed later the same year to serve on the U.S. Disctrict Court for the Southern District of Alabama, and was nominated in 1987 to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. His nomination was confirmed in 1988 and he attained senior status in 2000.
The Florida Law Review Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law series was established by the U.S. Sugar Corporation and the law firms of Dunwody, White, & Landon, P.A. and Mershon, Sawyer, Johnston, Dunwody & Cole in honor of Elliot and Atwood Dunwody. The honorees were brothers who dedicated their lives to the legal profession and who set a standard of excellence for The Florida Bar. As graduates of the University of Florida College of Law, they labored long, continuously and quietly to better the social and economic conditions in Florida.
The series is intended to perpetuate the example set by the Dunwody brothers by providing a forum for renowned legal scholars to present novel and challenging ideas.

Something fishy: small tuna patties
In order to make them, you drain a can of tuna chunks in sunflower oil, flake the tuna with a fork, add one egg and 2-3 tbsp plain flour.
Season with salt and pepper, and a sprinkle or two of your favourite herb seasoning.
Form into 6 small patties, slightly dust with flour and fry gently in oil (I used the drained sunflower oil) until golden brown.
Drizzle some lemon juice on top and garnish with dill.
Lovely in your lunch box sandwich on the following day.
Easy, isn't it?

This really does sound and look delicious. I've made something similar with canned salmon, but never thought of trying it with tuna.

A March return from an extended injury for a Duke player is nothing new to the Blue Devils.
But they think this could be different for several reasons.
Senior forward Ryan Kelly has been credited with giving Duke a recent boost at both ends of the court since he came back from a foot injury.
Two years ago, point guard Kyrie Irving, in what turned out to be his only season with the Blue Devils, returned to action after more than two months of rehabilitating a foot injury. He was back in time for the NCAA Tournament, with Duke winning twice before tumbling to Arizona in a Sweet 16 blowout.
�We�re different players, different positions,� Kelly said. �There are some similarities with the times, but I think in a lot of ways it�s very different.�
Duke will have at least one more opportunity to see how it all meshes together when it plays in Friday night�s Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals against either Maryland or Wake Forest.
Even though Kelly arrived back in the lineup and produced 36 points in the victory against Miami, it�s not a seamless situation.
�There�s a period of transition,� Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. �To think that there�s no transition just because he had this exceptional performance would be na�ve for me to think that. So I�m not going to think that.
�The other thing is no one really took Ryan�s position at the level that he had played it before. So they didn�t redefine a position. It shortened the court on us and made us less of a defensive team because Ryan is an outstanding defender.�
Kelly has averaged 20.7 points per game in the three outings since his return.
Yet that might be only a small segment of what the re-introduction of Kelly brings to the Blue Devils.
�I think that had more significance defensively than offensively,� Krzyzewski said of when the 6-foot-11 player was out of action. �So him coming back, he really doesn�t change anybody�s role at all, he just makes everybody�s role better.�
Irving�s return complicated matters from more angles. The freshman was accustomed to controlling the ball as a point guard, a role that Nolan Smith assumed in the interim. Plus, Irving didn�t make it back until the NCAA Tournament.
Krzyzewski has been quick to dismiss the comparison from the way the 2011 season unfolded to the current season.
�Kyrie Irving did not disrupt the flow of the team,� he said. �I think we were a really good team and Kyrie gave us a chance to be an exceptional team.
�In some ways, Ryan disrupted our team (against Miami). I thought we were standing around watching him. He disrupted it in a really nice way.�
Leading to Kelly�s return for the March 2 game against Miami, Krzyzewski stressed the importance of Kelly working his way back onto the court before the NCAA Tournament.
�With Kyrie, we weren�t able to do that,� Krzyzewski said. �With Nolan and Kyle (Singler), you would�ve liked to have a couple games to see. I think it would have been better.�
Duke forward Mason Plumlee has been on both teams when the Blue Devils dealt with players coming back to action after extended absences.
�I know everybody�s talking about Kyrie and Nolan (Smith), but you had one guy playing point guard and then another guy came in and played point guard,� Plumlee said. �And that position is so different from playing the �4� for us. Nolan, a lot of his stuff was having the ball in his hands and making decisions, and then all of a sudden he was playing off the ball and didn�t have the ball in his hands all the time.
�I don�t see his transition coming back being difficult like that was.�
Plumlee said he likes how Kelly has maintained a strong presence for the Blue Devils since that surge against Miami. Kelly has averaged 30.3 minutes in the three games this month.
All told, Duke is 18-0 this season when Kelly plays.
�The fact is that he�s a very unique guy, that�s what made us a unique team (before the injury),� Krzyzewski said.
In terms of averages, Kelly ranks third on the team in scoring (14.6 points per game) and second in rebounding (5.6). He�s second in blocked shots with 28.
Kelly missed most of the conference schedule, appearing in only five games against ACC opponents. He watched from the bench the first time Duke played North Carolina, then was in the starting lineup for last weekend�s game.
�Having Ryan back is a big factor for them,� said North Carolina coach Roy Williams, who made a strong recruiting pitch for Kelly several years ago. �Playing almost the entire season without him was difficult for them. They�ve played great down the stretch.�
In Kelly�s absence, there has been a trickle-down positive for the Blue Devils.
Playing time increased for forwards Josh Hairston and Amile Jefferson as both were used in the starting lineup at one time or another.
�They�ve been out on the court in critical end-of-game situations, some that we�ve won and some that we�ve lost,� Krzyzewski said. �Just the experience of having been in those situations is invaluable. That�s a plus from having Ryan injured, that we got that type of playing time, court experience for those guys.�
Kelly�s presence, though, offers something his teammates don�t. He�s has the size of a post player, yet he�s a capable perimeter shooter, leading the Blue Devils at 53.1 percent (34-for-64) on 3-point attempts.
This causes trouble for opposing teams when trying to assign their defensive matchups.
�You have to cover him so when he has the ball it creates more space. It goes on and on,� Krzyzewski said. �That�s why when Ryan was out, the performance of Seth (Curry) and Mason were even more exceptional because they didn�t have the spacing. You could game plan against them even better.�
Now, there�s the matter of Duke adjusting its style. Kelly�s return means the Blue Devils will be seeing different things, too.
So this is the potentially tricky part for Duke.
�The court, the spacing on the court, looks different,� Krzyzewski said. �There�s more space. You have to be ready to make some moves, some looks. Some reads that you had (in recent games) you didn�t see because it was the first time in a couple of months that they were there.
�To instinctively react to the things presented which are different. � We have habits with the 13 games (without Kelly) that we have to adjust to now that we�re doing this.�

LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will face each other for the fourth time Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, conjuring memories of Sugar Ray Robinson's battles with Jack LaMotta and Jersey Joe Walcott's four fights with Ezzard Charles.
Pacquiao would like to believe his duels with Marquez will define his legacy, like Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier or Arturo Gatti vs. Micky Ward. "When you say Manny Pacquiao, you think of Marquez," Pacquiao said.
That's true in a sense. Pacquiao of the Philippines and Marquez of Mexico have waged three terrific battles ending in controversial decisions. It's why a fourth fight is viable as an HBO pay-per-view attraction. Their first bout in 2004 ended in a draw and Pacquiao earned decisions in the last two encounters, including a majority decision last year in a close slugfest many thought Marquez won.
"The last fight, I thought I won clearly," Marquez said. "Everyone thought I won the fight. The only people that didn't think I won the fight were the judges."
Pacquiao's motivation is to silence the doubters.
"I am giving him a chance to prove he can win the fight because he thought he has won all three and he keeps talking about it," said Pacquiao, who lost a decision to Timothy Bradley in June. "So it is very important to me to win this fight, especially since Marquez really wanted this fight."
It figures to be a good money maker for Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KOs) and Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KOs). But it will do little to enhance their legacies. Truth is, at this moment Pacquiao's career likely will be remembered not for the four fights with Marquez but the zero fights he has had with Floyd Mayweather.
The long-awaited match-up is no closer to being made than it was three years ago when they seemed destined to make boxing history. The unbeaten Mayweather is plotting two fights for next year, neither against Pacquiao, who if he wins tomorrow night could be matched against former lightweight champ Brandon Rios.
As boxing rolls on, the latest Fight of the Century goes unfulfilled and becomes less appealing with the passage of time. Pacquiao already has lost to Bradley and could be beaten by a determined Marquez, while Mayweather hasn't fought since being released in August after spending two months in jail on a domestic abuse charge.
While Mayweather contemplates his next move his former friend and business partner, Curtis Jackson "a.k.a. 50Cent," has entered the boxing promotional business. He has signed Cuban super featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (21-0, 16 KOs), who will face Michael Farenas (34-3-4-1, 26 KOs) on the undercard tomorrow night.
Jackson is the only one throwing punches at Mayweather these days over the end of their short-lived business relationship. The two had formed TMT (The Money Team) Promotions, but parted ways over financial issues. Jackson has since formed SMS Promotions and is working with Mayweather's arch-rival Bob Arum of Top Rank Inc. on this weekend's card.
"He's a really nice guy," Arum said. "Or at least he seems to be."
Whether Jackson can facilitate a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight remains to be seen, though it would appear Mayweather may want little to do with Jackson, Arum or Pacquiao.
That leaves Pacquiao looking for other opponents, which is why he is fighting Marquez a fourth time.
"When he gets in the ring it's going to be extra motivation for not only me, but for him also," Marquez said. "I definitely think it's the fight that everybody wants to see. I think the fans are going to be delighted to see the fight."
Perhaps. But it's not the fight for which Pacquiao ultimately will be remembered.

Researchers have identified that there is now a 1-in-20 chance of global warming causing catastrophic damage to the planet by 2050.A new study that evaluates the models of future climate change scenarios has resulted in the creation of two new risk categories "catastrophic" and "unknown".The study was carried out by Veerabhadran Ramanathan a distinguished professor of climate and atmospheric sciences from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego.
Ramanathan and his colleague former Scripps graduate student Yangyang Xu examined the possible outcomes based around the targets set by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.The Paris Agreement currently states that society keep average global temperatures below a 2 degrees increase from temperatures recorded during the height of the Industrial Revolution.What the pair found was that even a small increase of just 1.5 degrees should still be categorised as "dangerous" resulting in substantial damage to human and natural systems.Go beyond 3 degrees and the results would fall into the "catastrophic" category. Take the rise beyond 5 degrees and the results fall into "unknown".In case you're wondering, "unknown" is very literal. Quite simply we have no idea how bad the damage would be, although both academics agree that it could result in potentially existential threats.While both "catastrophic" and "unknown" are both listed as "low-probability high-impact events" the pair still put their likelihood at around 5%."When we say 5 percent-probability high-impact event, people may dismiss it as small but it is equivalent to a one-in-20 chance the plane you are about to board will crash," explains Ramanathan."We would never get on that plane with a one-in-20 chance of it coming down but we are willing to send our children and grandchildren on that plane."Despite having such a low probability, a 5 degree rise would cause what the pair call "tipping points" around the planet including the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the complete dieback of the Amazon rainforest.It's not all doom and gloom though. Both Ramanathan and Xu believe that preventing these outcomes is something that the global community is more than capable of doing.Global CO2 emissions have dropped to near-zero levels while the boom in renewable energy has made a huge difference. Where progress needs to be made is in democratising renewable technologies across both the developed and developing worlds. ... read more

According to a Houston Chronicle report on Saturday, free agent guard Damon Stoudamire had agreed to sign a 4-year pact with the Grizzlies.
Not so fast, says Mr. Stoudamire.
Local Fox news in Houston spoke with Damon at Tracy McGrady's celebrity softball game on Saturday and the 5-foot-10 point guard stated that he has not spoken with the Grizzlies and that his agent has interacted with them just once.
Stoudamire went on to say that the Rockets are his number one choice and have been for a while.
He also spoke with Channel 2 News in Houston, adding that Portland was "trying to block everything I'm doing", likely alluding to sign-and-trade attempts by the Rockets.
The fact that Stoudamire did say good things about the situation in Memphis could suggest that the the Grizzlies have in fact put an offer out on the table, but the guard likely is holding out hope that Houston and Portland can come to an agreement on a trade.
But.. This morning, the Houston Chronicle says this:
After reaching an agreement with free-agent power forward Stromile Swift two weeks ago, the Rockets turned their attention to landing a veteran guard for their backcourt.
The player atop their wish list — Houston resident Damon Stoudamire — had expressed an interest in joining the team.
But according to sources, Stoudamire and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed on a four-year, $17 million deal that will be finished when the NBA lifts its moratorium on signings. The NBA and the players' union finished talks and completed their deal early today, clearing the way for teams to start making deals.
Stoudamire averaged 15.8 points and 5.7 assists with Portland last season.
Stoudamire, 31, appears to be a good fit for the Grizzlies, who are bracing for the loss of Earl Watson. Memphis reportedly is pursuing a sign-and-trade deal for Watson, who spent three seasons backing up point guard Jason Williams.
With Stoudamire having made $12.5 million with the Trail Blazers last season and the Rockets able to offer their salary-cap exemption of only $1.8 million, the teams reportedly were discussing a sign-and-trade deal.
Rockets forwards Clarence Weatherspoon, owed $6.53 million over the final year of his contract, and Juwan Howard, due $26 million over four years, reportedly were dangled as trade bait, but the two clubs failed to reach an agreement, paving the way for Stoudamire to sign with Memphis.
Miami and Cleveland also reportedly were interested. With Stoudamire off the market, the Rockets will alter their search.
Latrell Sprewell, Michael Finley and Gary Payton have been discussed as options.
Coincidentally, Stoudamire is set to participate in a charity softball tournament hosted by Rockets swingman Tracy McGrady this afternoon in League City.
The Rockets also learned free agent forward Scott Padgett has agreed to a multiyear deal with Phoenix. Padgett, 29, averaged 3.8 points and 2.6 rebounds over two seasons with the Rockets. He is expected to back up All-Star Amare Stoudemire.
This is funny..I posted a thread yesterday and it got taken off about Jeff McInnis signing,Which he did and it was brand new news.. The other posts were about him in the makings of signing with a new team... Now this???? This is not a complaint, but I could I make a suggestion, If it is real news let it stay..Some people would like to read about it.. I also understand that if people post things over and over, It does get out of control. Give the press credit, Some times they make little mistakes(or in this case a big one)lol
So with that said, Be fair and enjoy this site. This is the best managed site I have been on... Great job to those who control the threads.. Keep up the great work

The Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah
Always Breathtaking
This breathtaking Garden is the only botanic garden in the world located in a World Heritage Area. Focused on the conservation of cool climate plants it is home to 21,000 plants and 900 species. Located under 2-hours' drive from Sydney airport and less than an hour from Penrith and Richmond, the Garden is the perfect backdrop for a gathering, workshop or family day out.
The Garden features a world class collection of cool climate plants grouped according to their geographical origin. This allows the visitor to see both the similarities and differences between the plants of each region.
Unique geography
A cool and tranquil environment with mild summer temperatures, the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden is an ideal place to display plants from the cooler regions of the world. The top 100 metres of Mount Tomah consists of a layer of basalt; a volcanic rock which weathers to form a rich acid clay loam that is more fertile than most Australian soils. Basalt has many fine vertical cracks, called 'columnar jointing', which form when the rock cools. These joints trap rain water, forming a natural underground reservoir which provides a water supply for the garden. Hexagonal basalt blocks are used in walls around the garden.

The Environmental Protection Agency lacks the authority to veto the Yazoo Backwater Pumping Project, the long-awaited solution for relieving chronic flooding problems in the lower Mississippi Delta.
That's the finding of a legal opinion written by the Congressional Research Service that was requested by Mississippi Senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker and conveyed to EPA Administrator Steven Johnson.
Earlier this year, EPA officials initiated a proceeding under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act, claiming the Yazoo project would have "unacceptable adverse impacts" on fish and wildlife habitat. The agency said the provision gave it authority to force the Corps of Engineers to discontinue the project.
But Robert Metz, an attorney with the Congressional Research Service, said the Section 404(c) process cited by EPA "cannot be applied to a federal project, like the Yazoo Backwater Project that conforms to Section 404(r)." (Section 404(r) provides exemptions for projects approved by Congress.)
"We continue to be very concerned about the prospect of the EPA using Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to "veto" the Yazoo Backwater Project in Mississippi," Cochran and Wicker said in a letter. "This important project has been structured to offer flood damage protection and significant environment enhancements to the Mississippi South Delta."
The letter said the potential administrative nullification of a congressionally authorized project raises serious legal and policy issues. It cites the Congressional Research Service finding that Section 404(c) cannot be applied to a federal project that conforms to Section 404(r).
"We ask that you carefully consider the legal and policy consequences of improperly applying Section 404(c) according to diligent analysis of the relevant statute," the letter said. "We expect you will give this matter the serious consideration it deserves before EPA takes any further action."
Leaders of the flood control efforts in the south Delta said they were grateful for the stance taken by Republicans Cochran and Wicker in defying the Bush administration's effort to block the backwater pump project.
"The Mississippi Levee Board is grateful for the leadership of our Congressional delegation in support of the Yazoo Backwater Project," said Laurance Carter, Sharkey County board member for the Mississippi Levee Board. "We have told EPA it has no authority to veto the Project, and we are gratified that the Congressional Research Service and our senators agree with that legal position."
The Vicksburg District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved the latest recommended plan for the Yazoo Backwater Project in November 2007. The $220 million Yazoo Backwater Project has been modified several times to try to satisfy the objections of environmental groups such as the Sierra Club.
The latest plan calls for a smaller pumping plant that would be turned on when water in the Yazoo backwater area of the south Delta reaches an elevation of 87 feet above sea level, rather than the 80-foot level in the original proposal. The new plans means 200,000 acres would be under water when the pumping station would be placed in operation.
South Delta residents don't like the new plan, but they've been willing to try to live with it to get the pumping station built and in operation. That's in contrast to the environmental groups whose proposals have included having the federal government purchase most of the land in south Delta and relocate the current residents.
"We are pleased that our two U.S. senators have stood up for the Delta and hopefully will cause this federal agency to sit down and discuss practical solutions as opposed to simply telling the Delta what they are against," said Al Rankins, chairman of the Delta Council's Flood Control Committee and a Washington County supervisor.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona pulled off a remarkable Champions League comeback when Lionel Messi struck twice in a thrilling 4-0 home win over AC Milan on Tuesday that sent the Spaniards through to the last eight 4-2 on aggregate.
Trailing from last month's last 16, first leg at the San Siro, Barca were ahead in the fifth minute at a raucous Nou Camp thanks to Messi's brilliant curling effort and the World Player of the Year leveled the tie on aggregate five minutes before halftime with a powerful low drive.
Barca ruthlessly dominated the Italians, who struggled to get the ball out of their own half for long periods, and David Villa struck a third for the hosts 10 minutes after the break before Jordi Alba killed off Milan with a breakaway goal in the second minute of added time.
Barca are the first team in the Champions League to ever overturn a two-goal first leg deficit without the benefit of an away goal while only four sides had successfully fought back from a deficit of more than one goal.
"We started really fired up, as you have seen. The early goal helped us a lot, but it was something we looked for from the first minute," Villa told Spanish television.
"We believed we could do it from the first minute, in fact from the final whistle of the last game.
Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri told Sky Italia: "It has been an extraordinary match from Barcelona but this is not the disastrous result it will maybe be depicted as but a chance to grow. To lose and go out after the first leg we produced at home upsets all of us but the lads shouldn't beat themselves up."
Fired-up Barca, roared on by almost 90,000 supporters inside their giant arena, harried and hassled Milan from the start.
The early goal they desperately needed arrived when Messi exchanged passes with Xavi on the edge of the Milan area and curled a brilliant shot into the top corner that left goalkeeper Christian Abbiati rooted to the spot.
Milan were under increasing pressure and Abbiati palmed an Iniesta volley against the crossbar eight minutes later before a long-range Xavi strike flew narrowly wide.
Barca's intensity dipped as the half wore on and Milan came within a whisker of snatching the goal that would have meant the hosts needed to score at least three times to go through.
Barcelona centre back Javier Mascherano misjudged a header and Milan striker M'Baye Niang raced clear but his low shot crashed back off the post with home keeper Victor Valdes beaten.
Moments later Barca doubled their lead on the night and drew level at 2-2 on aggregate. Andres Iniesta won the ball in midfield and fed Messi who smashed a low drive past Abbiati from just outside the penalty area.
Barca continued to dominate in the second half and Villa justified his inclusion in the starting lineup when Xavi sent him clear on the right and he struck a perfect left-foot shot high into the corner.
The Spain forward made way for Alexis Sanchez 15 minutes from time and it was the Chilean who set up Alba to fire home Barca's fourth which eased the tension among the home fans and killed off Milan's hopes.
The Serie A side had pressed forward looking for the goal that would have sent them through but Barca held out to keep alive their dream of a third European crown in five years.
"We weren't on top of the situation, we suffered from the start and it ended the way it did," Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini told Sky Italia.
"It was a match that will maybe help us for the future, let's hope. At least now we won't be tired from playing other games in the Champions League and can concentrate on Serie A."

Revision as of 06:17, 28 March 2011
From Pam fprint - fprint project:
- pam_fprint is a simple PAM module which uses libfprint's fingerprint processing and verification functionality for authentication. In other words, instead of seeing a password prompt, you're asked to scan your fingerprint.
The idea is to use the built-in fingerprint reader in some notebooks for login using PAM. I will also explain how to use regular password for backup login method (solely fingerprint scanner is not recommended due to numerous reasons).
First, make sure you have one of the supported finger scanners. You can check if your device is supported by checking this list of supported devices. To check which one you have, type
# lsusb
You need to install pam and libfprint.
# pacman -S pam libfprint
Once you made sure your reader is supported, you are good to go
# pacman -S pam_fprint
This is the tricky part. By defaut, only root has access to the device. You can create a signature from sudo, but then you can only use it for root user. After digging at the Ubuntu forums I found out the following solution which worked for me.
1. If the group plugdev doesn't exist (didn't for me), create it
2. Add yourself to the group
# gpasswd -a USER plugdev
3. Allow USB access
# chgrp -R plugdev /dev/bus/usb/
Login configuration
Modify the auth section of /etc/pam.d/login to this
auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_fprint.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so
This tries to use fingerprint login first, and if if fails or if it finds no fingerprint signatures in the give user's home directory, it proceeds to password login.
Create fingeprint signature
Now you should be able to run the program under a normal user. To see the usage, run
$ pam_fprint_enroll --help
Chose one of the fingers and run
$ pam_fprint_enroll -f #
You will be asked to scan the given finger 3 times. After that, the signature is created in your home directory.
Setup fingerprint-gui
An aulternate fingerprint reader gui. This works with libfprint-unstable which has support for the new Upeksonly readers, such as, the new Thinkpad W510 T510 T410 Upeksonly reader with USB ID 147e:2016
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Integrated_Fingerprint_Reader http://www.n-view.net/Appliance/fingerprint/
Install fingerprint-gui from AUR
$ yaourt -S fingerprint-gui
Please make sure your user is a member of "plugdev" and "scanner" group if you use UPEK non-free library. You may also have to log out and back in for these changes to take effect.
# gpasswd -a USER plugdev # gpasswd -a USER scanner
fingerprint-polkit-agent conflicts with files in /etc/xdg/autostart that must be removed:
"polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop" and "polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop".
Edit your PAM configuration (e.g., /etc/pam.d/{login,su,sudo,gdm}).
Change the auth section to read
auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_fingerprint-gui.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so
Now run fingerprint-gui and register fingerprints for the current user. You will need to run fingerprint-gui and register fingerprints for all users you want to use the fingerprint reader.
