Its so funny how Terrance J compared himself to Nick Cannon in a good way and now Selita is with TJ. I think she really liked Nick, and TJ is just a good replacement.

I just want to add that people are so judgemental of Kae, and Rihanna. There are so many people in holloywood in a loveless marriage. THey amrrytheir spouse for conveience, money, or as a cover up. Rihanna or Kae are not the last or the first to go back to a guy who visibly seem like a bad guy. Notice I said visibly because we don't know what goes on behind close doors. Maybe Chris like submissive women, idk, and you know what hey that's his right. Last time I checked the three individuals involved are raise and have the choice to choose what partner they want, and if you don't like one you may go to the next. No one is meant to stay with you forever, which is why people move on, pass away. Nothing is forever! You have the right to choose. So stop being so judgemental of what these people do unless one of them make a PSA for your help. Thank you. Have a nice day - Chris Brown & Karrueche Involved In A Fender Bender
I don't know what it is, but obviously Chris see something in Kae for him to want to go back to her and obviously him and RiRi were not making it "at this time." Just because you love someone does not mean you have to be with them, and I think Chrianna found this out the hard way. You can want the best for someone and always love them but you may not want to share your life with that person and if you ask me I don't think Chris ever wanted to. I think he loves Rihanna, and always will but he don't want to share his life with her or as he put if "worry about who is in my back pocket." With Kae he wants her around, she don't care who in his back pocket she allow him to be who he is at this point in his life he should have the opportunity to do that as well as Rihanna. They both need to grow, and obviously Kae allows him to do that. I don't care who he is with as long as they're both happy. I also believe with the comment above when stating Rihanna stole Chris from Kae. Yeah obvioulsy they do have feelings and they both wanted to see if it would have worked but instead she interrupted Chris and Kae, and now you see where he is at. He wasn't ready to be what Rihanna wanted/needed him to be he was still running around with Kae! How can you take someone who is free to do what they want one day and then try to make them monogamous the next? I truly respect Kae for how she handled the situation, not saying oh she better, but I like how she knew her role and she did what she had to do. She kept a brave face, and she may not have all of Chris, but she may have what she wants, and who are we to judge? - Jay-Z On The Beyonce Pregnancy Rumors: 'The News Is Worse Than Blogs'

May 21st, 2013
YANGON - Myanmar President Thein Sein's historic Monday meeting with US President Obama has been well-received at home, with Burmese seemingly happy that the country is gaining some positive recognition on the world stage after decades of isolation.
Myanmar and the United States signed a new trade and investment promotion agreement on Tuesday, which they hope will boost the currently-miniscule commerce between the two countries, currently valued at $90 million so far for 2013.
"We are happy that our country is changing to democracy," says Kyaw Moe Tha, an artist from Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city. "And it is important for us that America and other Western countries increase contact with us." (more…)
Trade and Investment Key Issues During Thein Sein's US Visit – The Irrawaddy
May 21st, 2013
Rangoon—The first state visit to the United States by a Burmese president in almost 50 years went off largely as expected, with a strong emphasis on trade and investment, and some discussions of the ethnic and religious violence that has clouded the country's transition from army rule.
US President Barack Obama promised American backing for the Burma government's reforms, which he described as a work in progress, saying, "As President [Thein] Sein is the first to admit, this is a long journey and there is still much work to be done."
Ahead of the Burmese President's trip to Washington, it was widely expected that economic issues would be central to his visit.
William Aung, director at Thura Swiss, a Rangoon-based business consultancy, says that the trip panned out as expected. "U Thein Sein would ask Obama about technical, financial assistance and request US companies to invest in Myanmar," he told The Irrawaddy. (more…)
Letter from Kampar: winning the election, losing Malaysia – Foreign Affairs

He wouldn't give his full name or his age — except to say that he had vivid childhood memories of Japan's World War II occupation of Malaysia — but Lee, a Chinese-Malaysian shopkeeper in Kampar, a onetime tin-mining hub in the northwestern Malaysian state of Perak, didn't hold back. "Politics in this country is about this: money politics," he said, using the local shorthand for corruption. "The BN" — Barisan Nasional, or National Front — "is clever at it, and that means it is difficult for the opposition to win in this country," he added. (more…)
On and off the table for Burma President's White House visit – The Irrawaddy
May 17th, 2013
RANGOON — "It's been quite a while," might be the first thing US President Barack Obama and his Burmese counterpart Thein Sein say to each other when they meet next week.
How long? The last time a Burmese president visited the White House, Charles de Gaulle was president of France and England had just won the football World Cup. "The Sound of Music" was voted Best Picture at the Academy Awards and the average price of a new car in the United States was just over US$2,500. In Asia, China's inaptly named "Cultural Revolution" was just underway, while Indonesia's equally euphemistic "New Order" regime was asserting control over that vast archipelago.
Burma was four years into what would be five decades of military rule under then President Ne Win, who despite sending his country along the "Burmese Road to Socialism"—at the height of the Cold War, no less—received a warm welcome in Washington. (more…)
As cyclone nears, conflicting messages from the storm's path – The Irrawaddy/BBC World
May 14th, 2013
chat here covering some of the issues below - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0184xrn
RANGOON — As Burmese authorities evacuate people in anticipation of Thursday's storm, some say they are being moved into harm's way, while in Bangladesh concerns mount that refugee shelters could buckle against strong winds.
Two days ahead of Cyclone Mahasen's projected landfall along the Bangladesh and Burma coasts, the evacuation of thousands of Burmese Buddhists and Muslims sheltering in low-lying camps continued throughout Tuesday, according to aid workers and government officials.
Tens of thousands of people, the majority of them Rohingya Muslims, fled their homes in Arakan State during two bouts of deadly Buddhist-Muslim violence in 2012 that left at least 192 people dead and 140,000 homeless. Of those, around 70,000 have been staying in flimsy, low-lying coastal camp shelters, likely to be blown down or washed away by possible 100-mph winds and storm surges of several feet when the cyclone makes landfall later this week.

After disputed election, tensions rise in Malaysia – The Irrawaddy/RTÉ World Report
May 9th, 2013
story here. Broadcast May 12 http://www.rte.ie/news/player/world-report/2013/0512/
Georgetown, Malaysia – Tens of thousands of black-garbed Malaysians gathered in a football stadium on Wednesday night to hear opposition leaders denounce the outcome of Sunday's election, which extended the Barisan Nasional's (BN, or National Front) 56-year run in office.
The vote was marred by cheating, say supporters of the Pakatan Rakyat (People's Alliance) opposition, clad in black as a protest against the result.
Seeking a recount for 29 seats he contends were won by dubious means, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim told the crowd in the opposition stronghold of Selangor – a business and industry hub near Kuala Lumpur – that "I would not quit until we reach Putrajaya, until we expose all (fraud) and claim Putrajaya for the rakyat (people)."

Malaysia's ruling coalition hangs on against winds of change – Christian Science Monitor
May 6th, 2013
ALOR SETAR, MALAYSIA - Malaysia's ruling coalition won a keenly-contested election Sunday, extending its 56-year run in charge of this Southeast Asian nation but with what looks to be its narrowest majority since independence from the UK in 1957.
Ahead of the election, some analysts thought the ruling National Front was vulnerable to a challenge spearheaded by Anwar Ibrahim, a former government insider who broke with the ruling coalition in the 1990s and sought to rally anger against government corruption and a bulge of youth voters hungry for democratic change. (more…)
Governing coalition wins Malaysia election – Los Angeles Times
May 6th, 2013
PENANG, Malaysia — Malaysia's ruling National Front coalition won a hotly-contested election Sunday, election commission officials announced, as voters opted for continuity and experience over opposition calls for reform.
The 13-party National Front win was called by the election commission early Monday morning, after it exceeded the 112 seat threshold needed for a majority. It was the coalition's 13th consecutive general election victory since the country gained independence from Britain in 1957.
Prime Minister Najib Razak, 59, head of the majority United Malays National Organization party, led the ruling coalition to victory, hammering home the message to his largely rural conservative Muslim Malay base that the inexperienced opposition would ruin the economy and erode national security.
Malaysia set for closest-ever election – Christian Science Monitor
May 3rd, 2013
PENANG – Malaysia's ruling coalition has since 1957 steered the country between race riots, a brief and stormy marriage with Singapore, and a communist insurgency to the country's position today as one of the great economic success stories of the developing world.
But now its 56-year run in power since independence from Great Britain could be headed for the rocks. Malaysians will vote in a new parliament on May 5, and polls show a coalition led by former government insider Anwar Ibrahim has a shot at winning control of Southeast Asia's third largest economy.
"This election is the first one that is not a foregone conclusion," says Clive Kessler of the University of New South Wales. Despite economic growth under the current government, perception of corruption and growing calls for more democracy and greater accountability have dogged it, giving the opposition a foothold from which to challenge the government.

Evasive and divisive: Myanmar probe into Rakhine violence falls short – The Edge Review
May 3rd, 2013
pdf/digital versions here – http://www.theedgereview.com/
Yangon – The Muslims listening weren't happy. Five of the 27 original members of the Rakhine Investigation Commission to the Government of Myanmar had just presented the findings of their long-awaited and much-delayed report into last year's sectarian violence in the west of the country.
Among the recommendations the commissioners advocated included sending more soldiers to the region and strengthening the controversial border police — deemed part of the problem by human rights groups.
When asked at the press conference if the commission had found or heard of mass graves or encountered evidence of complicity among Myanmar security forces in the attacks on Muslims in Rakhine state — allegations contained in a Human Rights Watch report published a week previously — the five commissioners on the podium shook their heads.
"We did not hear of any mass graves," said Yin Yin Nwe. "As for the army, all we know is that they moved to restore order between the two sides, after a few days." (more…)

Early and Often: Lions' senior running back has career day in 44-7 victory over Bulldogs
BY Bill Conrad, firstname.lastname@example.com
"It's been a long time since we had that many carries."
Those were the words of Prestonwood Christian Academy head coach Chris Cunningham Friday night after his team racked up 56 carries in a dominating 44-7 victory over Royse City (0-3).
The traditionally pass-happy Lions (3-0) used a size advantage on the offensive line to wear down the smaller Bulldogs, who had no answer for running back Grayson Warren. The senior ran the ball a career-high 35 times for 202 yards and three scores.
Prestonwood is breaking in a new quarterback and receiving corps this year, and Cunningham said it will take some time for the passing game to fully develop. In the meantime, the Lions are happy to take what the defense gives them, even if it means running the ball 56 times and passing only 18 times.
"They were leaving five in the box and playing two deep and five underneath, so it was going to be kind of tough for us to throw," Cunningham said. "We needed to be able to run the ball tonight and we did that."
The Lions' running game may have dominated the stat sheet, but it was their defense that set the tone early.
Senior J.P. Coward picked off a Jackson Watts pass on the third play of the game and returned it 21 yards for a 7-0 lead. Royse City bounced back with an eight-play scoring drive on its next possession to tie the game 7-7, but that was all the Bulldogs' offense could muster against a fast, aggressive Prestonwood defense.
"I am real proud of the defense," Cunningham said. "They have been consistent since we started and they have been really getting after people. It helps us when we are struggling on offense to know they are going to keep us in the game."
While several Lions' players had big games on the defensive side of the ball, senior middle linebacker Mike Mitchell had one of the biggest.
Mitchell seemed to be in on almost every tackle, including a 13-yard loss in the second quarter that resulted in a Royse City fumble.
"It is a blessing to have Mike out there," Cunningham said. "He makes a ton of plays. If they ever break out he runs them down. He covers a multitude of sins if we have mistakes."
Royse City mustered only 70 yards on 40 carries. While the Bulldogs didn't roll out the game plan the Lions expected, Mitchell was happy to see them focus on the run.
"I didn't think they were going to run right at us after how well we stopped the run in our last game," Mitchell said. "I thought they were going to run the ball outside more or throw the ball to the fullback more often. If they are going to run up the middle, we just want to keep jamming up there."
Mitchell credited the defensive backs for taking the passing game away.
Watts completed only 3-of-17 passes for 52 yards, with several of his attempts broken up by the Prestonwood secondary and others falling helplessly to the turf due to heavy pressure from the Lions' front seven..
Prestonwood quarterback Mickey Mitchell, Mike's younger brother, efficiently managed the fast-paced offense, which routinely snapped the ball with 15-20 seconds remaining on the play clock. The 6-foot-7 sophomore ran the option with apparent ease, carrying the ball 15 times for 105 yards and one score.
While he completed only 8-of-16 passes for 92 yards, Cunningham was happy with his quarterback's performance.
"I thought Mickey threw the ball great, we just had a lot of drops," he said. "That has been an issue for us the last week or two, so we just need to go back to work and get better at catching that thing."
Another thing Cunningham said his team needs to work on is cutting down on penalties, something he partially attributes to having a fairly young team. Overall, the Lions were whistled 10 times for 70 yards, including a 15-yard facemask penalty that gave the Bulldogs an automatic first down when they would have been facing a 3rd-and-29 from their own 9 yard line.
"The thing I have been proud of -- and not that I ever want penalties -- is that we have been able to overcome them," Cunningham said. "We can do that, but I would rather just eliminate the penalties."
Prestonwood returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Friday from Pleasant Grove Stadium in Dallas where they will face Roosevelt.

From a theoretical standpoint, the purpose of domain names is to provide easy to remember labels, so humans don't have to rely on memorizing IP addresses to navigate the Internet. But in practice, they can do so much more than just that.
Domain names are powerful because they act as a brand's face online, the point of recognition that indicates to consumers that they are in the right place to find official branded content. Domains form the foundation on which businesses build their digital strategies.
When paired with the right strategy, domain names can drive online traffic, promote brand image, and even defend against trademark infringement and brand dilution.
The Internet is many things to many people, but the one thing it's not is static. The digital space continues to evolve and change in ways that force businesses to stay on their toes in order to keep up. A solid domain name portfolio paired with a dynamic strategy enables businesses to adapt to these changes, and use their domains as powerful marketing tools to maximize online impressions and revenue while reducing costs.

Rama Lama Ding Dong
The New Times crew is a generous, involved bunch. Just a few weeks ago, senior writer Ed Griffin-Nolan organized a walk/run through downtown Syracuse that raised more than $9,000 to assist those on Staten Island still reeling from the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy. And now to a new initiative, this one of a more artistic bent. Designer Meaghan Arbital has created and signed a clever interpretation of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama (above). She, with the assistance of Commercial Art Supply, is raffling off a matted and framed print of the illustration, starting Thursday, Dec. 20, at the 935 Erie Blvd. E. store. Tickets cost $5 each, and 100 percent of the money raised will be given to Griffin-Nolan's Syracuse Sandy Relief effort. And anyone who purchases a ticket will receive a 51 percent off coupon good for one item in the store.
Buy your tickets at Commercial Art Supply, 935 Erie Blvd. E. Drawing is on Dec. 30. Stop by the store or call 315-474-1000.

Chiodos circa 2010 is a significantly different beast than it was just one year ago. In 2009 the Michigan-based post-hardcore sextet, then led by the charismatic Craig Owens, was still coasting on goodwill from its sophomore breakthrough, 2007's Bone Palace Ballet. That album had sold over 200,000 copies and landed the group in the upper echelon of bands big enough to sell out your average House Of Blues-sized venue. But all that changed when the band gave the cocky frontman the boot last fall (after having already fired its drummer). Now, Chiodos — currently fronted by former Yesterdays Rising vocalist Brandon Bolmer — is in the middle of what sports franchises like to refer to as a "rebuilding year." A new album is supposed to surface this fall — but until it does, expect a lot of skepticism from fans.

Technology in He's Just Not That Into You Trailer
He's Just Not That Into . . .Technology in the Dating World
by POPSUGAR Tech 16
"MySpace is the new booty call!" a friend advises Drew Barrymore in this preview for He's Just Not That Into You, and later she laments:
"I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work, and so I called him at home, and he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It's exhausting."
Being in a relationship, I am honestly glad I don't have to deal with said portals and can see this as merely comic relief, but I feel for Barrymore's character and people who do get the tech runaround. Have any funny or cringe-worthy experiences with dating and tech?

Campus life is an essential part of University College's philosophy. As a student, therefore, you live on campus for the duration of the three year program. Students come from diverse backgrounds, and living together provides unique opportunities to learn from each other's experiences. Students are encouraged to take part in a wide array of on-campus organizations, special interest committees and contests.
UCU has multiple residence halls. Each hall is divided into different units. Between 6 and 12 students live in a unit, in which they have a private room and share a living-room, kitchenette and one or more bathrooms. The units are a mix of different genders, ages, and nationalities. Rooms vary in size between 12 and 20 m² and are comfortably furnished with at least a bed, a desk and a wardrobe. Most rooms are single, although some double rooms are available. While smoking is prohibited in all main campus buildings, students can express a preference for a smoking or non-smoking unit. Students are encouraged to eat in Dining Hall but kitchenettes are fitted with basic cooking appliances. Bathrooms are fitted with a shower, a toilet and a wash basin.
Students live on campus from the end of August until the end of June. During the months of July and August it is not possible to live on campus.
Students go to Dining Hall for their lunches and dinners. On weekdays, there is lunch in the afternoon and dinner in the evening. On Saturdays, there is only brunch, but a hot meal is offered as well as bread. On Sundays there is a traditional brunch, and dinner in the evening.
Vegetarian options are always on the menu, and most dietary requirements can be catered for.
Students will get € 750,- per semester in Dining Hall credit and items will be charged separately, making a small lunch cheaper than a big lunch. Students who have run out of credit can pay with cash or debit card.

This was printed from South Florida Business Journal
A digest of important news from sources selected by our local editors. Delivered weekday mornings.
Foreclosure rates were down in each of South Florida's counties, with Miami-Dade recording the largest percentage point decrease, according to a new CoreLogic report. The region is still recording a significantly higher rate, however, than the rest of the country, which had a rate of 3.41 percent in April, the report noted.
In Miami-Dade, the foreclosure rate among outstanding loans was 17.43 percent in April, a decrease of 1.61 percentage points compared to the same time a year ago. Mortgage delinquency was also down: 24.35 percent of mortgage loans were 90 days or more delinquent compared to 26.43 percent, a decrease of 2.08 percentage points for April.
Foreclosure rates in Broward for the month of April were at 13.86 percent, a decrease of .64 percentage points compared to the same time last year. Broward county also had 19.63 percent of its mortgage loans 90 days or more delinquent, a decline of 1.56 percentage points from last year.
Finally, foreclosure rates on outstanding loans in Palm Beach were down to 12.37 percent in April, a decrease of .77 percent from the same time a year ago. As in the region's other counties, Palm Beach recorded a smaller mortgage delinquency, with 17.63 percent of its mortgage loans at 90 or more days delinquent, a decline of 1.68 percent points.

Piercing the Shroud
This secret mission is opened by destroying the science building during the Media Blitz mission. You'll have control of Jim Raynor and a small band of infantry. You'll be storming through a secret Dominion base. However, there are several Zerg and Protoss captured inside, and you'll have to do battle with these potential threats.
You'll have access to various security systems to unleash havoc against the Dominion. These include starting up flamethrower turrets or releasing Protoss Zealot prisoners. You'll typically need to select the medium option, as you'll have to clean up the remaining enemies after they assault one another. Releasing a group of ultralisks may turn out to be a mistake if you're the one who has to defeat them.
Jim has a few tricks up his sleeve. You can use powers such as a powerful sniper shot, grenade fire, and cryo rounds. These are great for taking on large groups or tough foes. You'll eventually take control of a battle mech to distract enemies, but it will eventually shut down. Matt will send in a few more reinforcements as you charge towards you goal. Along the way you can fight a brutalisk for extra Zerg research, however it can cost you a few troops. Raynor's special skills are your best bet for killing off the beast.
Finally, a deadly Zerg-Protss hybrid will rampage through the facility. The hybrid is immune to damage, so you'll need to flee. You must get Raynor to the escape shuttle or the mission will fail. Protects your medics at all cost, and if need be, sacrifice one or more of your marines.

How to extract a subspace
I have a (3 x N) matrix of column rank 2. If each column is treated as a point in 3-space, then connecting the points draws out some planar shape.
What operation can I apply such that this planar shape is transformed onto the x-y axis, so that the shape is exactly the same, but is now described fully by x-y coordinates in a (2 x N) matrix? I feel like there should be a (2 x 3) matrix that would do this, but I can't figure out what it should be. (I have a hunch that I'm looking for a mapping that is isometric and conformal... some kind of rotation?). Also, I'd like to be able to generalise to higher dimensions. |
Nov23-12, 09:14 AM | #2 |
I think I may have found a solution, but would appreciate any further discussion... since my understanding is rather weak. I basically started thinking about pseudoinverses and figured I wanted a pseudoinverse of something orthonormal, to avoid distorting my shape (?).
Let's call my (3 x N) matrix A. To get an orthonormal basis spanning the (2D) column space, I eigendecompose AAT and take the eigenvectors associated with the 2 largest eigenvalues, denoted by the (3 x 2) matrix E2. Finally, I left-multiply A by the pseudoinverse of E2: A2D = E2+A which seems to give the desired 2D representation. |
Nov24-12, 12:39 PM | #3 |
\mathbf{A}_{2D} &=&\mathbf{E}_{2}^{+}\mathbf{A} \\ &=&\left( \mathbf{E}_{2}^{T}\mathbf{E}_{2}\right)^{-1} \mathbf{E}_{2}^{T}\mathbf{A% } \\ &=&\mathbf{E}_{2}^{T}\mathbf{A} \end{eqnarray*}[/tex] However, I still don't really have an intuitive idea for why this works. Perhaps I should re-ask the question in Linear Algebra. |

The Book Arts League exists to further the traditional and contemporary arts and crafts of printing, calligraphy, bookbinding, graphic design, typography and papermaking –the cornerstones of the literacy and communications technology on which modern society depend. The League serves as a community resource for the book arts, particularly the 500-year-old craft of letterpress printing.
An important part of the League's mission is the preservation of its collection of the traditional printing presses and metal type now rapidly disappearing from the American scene. The Book Arts League worked with the City of Lafayette to repair and restore the historic Ewing Farm as a long-term headquarters, print shop, and workshop space. League activities at Ewing Farm and beyond include affordable book arts classes and hands-on workshops, exhibits, demonstrations, outreach, and participation in community activities.
We also hold Open Houses and Movie Matinees, when the Ewing buildings are open and on display. The first Open House of 2013 will be on Sat, March 9, starting with a letterpress demonstration in the historic printshop at 1:30 pm and followed by 2 films on illuminated manuscripts, The Secret of Kells and The Illuminator and a Bible for the 21st Century, in the Farmhouse at 2:00 pm. See the Ewing Events page for more details. These events are free and open to the public. We invite you to come see the restoration efforts, enjoy the letterpress demonstration and movies, and peruse items for sale.
OUR SPRING/SUMMER WORKSHOP SCHEDULE IS COMING SOON! Check out our upcoming activities on the Book Arts League Classes page and Ewing Events page (for free events).

Medusa (Siege Tank)
The Medusa Siege Tank is an aging Imperial Guard siege platform used when attacking the thick walls of an enemy-held city or fortress. Built on the Chimera chassis, the Medusa suffers from a number of disadvantages compared to other artillery pieces like the Basilisk or Griffon, but its immense firepower ensures its continued use in the siege warfare depressingly common to the 41st Millennium.
Contents |
The centerpiece of the siege tank is its Medusa Siege Gun which, unlike other artillery cannons, fires its heavy shells directly into the enemy's fortifications. It does this for days on end, from well-protected positions, until the constant barrage has created a large enough breach for friendly forces to assault through and secure a bridgehead.[1a][2a] Beyond this limited role however the Medusa is less of a success. The gun itself is short-ranged compared to the weapons on Basilisks, Manticores, and even Bombards, limiting its use in a conventional artillery role. The Medusa also suffers from ammunition issues as it can only carry eighteen heavy shells; while not a problem during a siege with stable lines of resupply, this limits its endurance when operating in the field. It is viable as an urban assault gun, leveling enemy buildings with a single shot in support of infantry assaults, but such close-range fighting leaves the Medusa's exposed crew too vulnerable to enemy fire compared to the thick armour protecting Demolishers and Thunderers. For this reason many armoured regiments will have at most a battery of Medusas kept in reserve for use only when breaching a wall or assaulting a bunker line, as most commanders will avoid deploying them directly on the frontline if possible.[1]
Forge World Variations
- Gryphonne IV - standard pattern
- Armageddon - Hades pattern - fully enclosed fighting compartment
- Vanaheim - Vanaheim pattern - distinctive gunshield
Technical Specifications
In addition to its Medusa Siege Gun the Medusa is also armed wit a hull-mounted weapon, either a Heavy Bolter or Heavy Flamer. Other standard equipment includes a Searchlight and Smoke Launchers. Common upgrades to the design include an Armoured Crew Compartment, Camo Netting, Dozer Blade, Extra Armour, a Hunter-Killer Missile and/or pintle-mounted Storm Bolter or Heavy Stubber.[2b]

Caddo holds gun safety class for children
By: Leslie Draffin
Updated: January 6, 2012
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Department says kids who got guns for Christmas need to be properly educated on how to use those weapons safely.
They're holding a First Gun Class Saturday (Jan. 7), which is already full. But authorities say they'll hold several more classes this year.
Deputies say biggest things to remember is to never play around with guns and don't point them at people. Also, parents should be aware that even small caliber weapons and pellet or BB guns can cause fatal injuries.

In what was a goal for the ages, Malkin came with speed toward the net and slid himself and the puck between a diving Eric Brewer, a back-checking Matthew Carle and a poke-checking Lindback, picked up the puck on the other side and shoveled it into a wide-open net, as Lindback was out of position.
Less than two minutes later, the Penguins retook the lead when Kris Letang, down from his point position, circled behind the net with the puck, curled out from below the goal line and threw a pass across to Crosby in the right circle, who dropped down to one knee to fire a one-timer past Lindback for his 11th goal of the season.
James Neal added an empty-net goal with 51 seconds remaining in the contest to give Pittsburgh a 4-2 lead.
While Neal's goal seemed to be icing on the cake at the time, it proved to be critical because the Lightning struck again with just eight seconds left in the contest when Stamkos batted in his second goal of the game out of mid-air, but it would prove to be too little, too late.
NOTES: The game featured the NHL's two highest scoring teams. Going into Monday night, the Penguins had scored 76 goals in 22 games and the Lightning had tallied 73 goals in 21 games. ... With his first-period goal, Kunitz recorded a point in a career-best sixth consecutive game. ... Tampa Bay ranks first in the NHL in shooting percentage. ... Pittsburgh reassigned rookie left winger Beau Bennett to its AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton prior to the game. ... The Penguins scratches were Paul Martin, Robert Bortuzzo and Zach Boychuk. Scratches for the Lightning were Brendan Mikkelson and Marc-Andre Bergeron. ... Pittsburgh's next game will be Thursday at Philadelphia. Tampa Bay will next play Tuesday at New Jersey.

Best Uses Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Scram Trail Running Shoe: Let me start by saying that I really like Asics. I own a few pairs of road and trail running shoes. They fit me well and provide adequate support. This particular shoe stinks for trail running though. I wasn't even using them that much since I'm not a huge runner. I like getting out on the trails once in a while though and after about 5 5K trails runs, the soles near the big toe started to peel off. I returned them for a new pair and the same thing happened after only a few runs. I finally got a pair of GT-2000 trail shoes and they are much more durable so far. Skip this model.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Scram Trail Running Shoe: Most people that comment are runners or some other kind of athlete, regular people wear these shoes too, lol, for everything, maybe they just don't see enough of Road Runner Shoes in their Mail Box to order from! I wouldn't go anywhere else. I use my own insoles I buy from Road Runner separate for really superb cushioning, I worked too many years on cement floors & have bad knees & feet, my balance is a bit off, I use a cane unless I'm with my big Lab then he and I walk together really good, I don't need it then, he balances me out. These shoes are great though, they really take a beating, they do good in all kinds of weather actually, I'm not going to wear them in snow of course but I'd go hiking in them just as quick as I'd use my hikers. They clean up really well, I'm taking a liking to Asics, this is my first pair but won't be my last whether they squeak on the kitchen floor or not, big deal! Who cares!! If the shoe is good, who cares but some people might find that insulting to their ego so I thought I better throw it in there.

Straight from the dark heart of Italy
Richard Whittle
Tiago Mendes just cannot take a hint.
He's like the unwanted guest at the end of the night who hangs around when all the host wants to do is hit the sack.
However, Juventus can't exactly sling him out the door – not without tearing up his contract which runs until 2013, although they have tried their best.
The Portuguese has had his name linked to more clubs than Paris Hilton but remains steadfast in refusing to budge from Turin.
Juve had a deal done and dusted with Everton but the player was having none of it, while, if a reported switch to Newcastle United was true then that no doubt received similar short shrift.
Tiago (left): Available for transfer, apparently
The Bianconeri transfer chief Alessio Secco may have been left fuming but he certainly hasn't given up on disposing of the midfielder who is costing the club around 3.5million euro a season to hang about.
Speaking to Juve mouth-piece Tuttosport, he sounded ominously like one of those gentlemen in pinstripe suits who make offers you can't refuse when he said: "The player won't go anywhere but we are hoping he will change his mind."
According to press reports right across the board, it's Atletico Madrid where the former Chelsea and Lyon man will finally pitch up.
Gazzetta dello Sport claims the 27-year-old has no desire to flop back to Portugal and join Porto, but may well decide that the millionaire playground of Monaco is more to his taste.
Certainly, his agent Jorge Mendes has been a busy man.
The 42-year-old is one of the most powerful operators in the game and has been behind making Jose Mourinho and Luiz Felipe Scolari the wealthy fellows they now are, not to mention securing mega moves for the likes of Pepe to Real Madrid and Nani at Manchester United.
Happier times at Chelsea
Juve's insinuations gather pace with each passing day towards the September 1 transfer deadline.
With safe passage to the Champions League secured, they have already discarded the player from their squad-list for the group stages of the competition.
On top of that, to heap ignominy upon ignominy, Stephen Appiah looks set to return to the club from Turkish side Fenerbahce.
He was, of course, the headless chicken who ran around the midfield a few seasons ago for the Old Lady.
So, if your face don't fit it don't fit, but you have to admire Tiago's fortitude at hanging in there – well you would won't you, especially with the thought of safeguarding that juicy contract in the more congenial environment of Spain or France.
Just thinking about a centre midfield combo of Tiago and Maniche at Atletico is enough to make a grown man cry!!! What must is be like to be a Rojiblancos fan i don't know... This reminds me of Winston Bogarde who was so annoyed at the way Chelsea treated him that he refused to leave until his contract ran out...they dumped him in the reserves and I even think he ended up playing with the youth team but he still got his several million quid a year. 2013 though...long time to wait!
Poor Juventus... they have nobody to blame but themselves. They should know better to fork out 10mil plus on a mediocre player... poor Juve (oh wait they just did it again with Momo Sissoko- think they need to transfer their transfer guru- the only good thing he has done all summer long is bring in Amauri

"Necto's core attributes are social intelligence, relevancy and self service," say Rony Ross, chairperson and founder of Panorama Software. "It reduces dependence on IT for report generation and data mining. Analytics are automatically performed to suggest exceptions and see positive or negative trends."
From a plant operations perspective, some manufacturers currently using socially enabling technology applications include Ford, Coca-Cola and Harley Davidson. Granger says these companies are taking advantage of a converged IT/plant network to use IT apps in factory areas.

I'm sitting here beside the mighty Murray river in mildura watching my ozpig burn wood down to coals. I'm going to cook my bacon and eggs soon. Thinking how the pig could be made better. I think a wire mesh door interchangeable with the regular door would make it fantastic. Everything I carry in my 4wd needs multiple uses.
The pig has three uses. Cooking, heating and entertainment.a wire mesh door would make the entertainment factor much safer by stopping burning wood falling out. It's something to consider. I am willing to road test any prototypes for you.?We love our pig. I have included a photo for you.

President Barack Obama is personally enamored with a recent essay written by neoconservative writer Bob Kagan, an advisor to Mitt Romney, in which Kagan argues that the idea the United States is in decline is false.
"The renewal of American leadership can be felt across the globe," Obama said in his State of the Union address Tuesday evening. "From the coalitions we've built to secure nuclear materials, to the missions we've led against hunger and disease; from the blows we've dealt to our enemies, to the enduring power of our moral example, America is back."
"Anyone who tells you otherwise, anyone who tells you that America is in decline or that our influence has waned, doesn't know what they're talking about," Obama said.
Just hours earlier on Tuesday, in an off-the-record meeting with leading news anchors, including ABC's George Stephanopoulos and NBC's Brian Williams, Obama drove home that argument using an article written in the New Republic by Kagan titled "The Myth of American Decline."
Obama liked Kagan's article so much that he spent more than 10 minutes talking about it in the meeting, going over its arguments paragraph by paragraph, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed to The Cable.
National Security Advisor Tom Donilon will also discuss Kagan's essay and Obama's love of it Thursday night with Charlie Rose on PBS.
Kagan's article examines and then sets out to debunk each of the arguments that America is in decline, which include commonly held assumptions that America's power and influence are waning due to its economic troubles, the rise of other world powers, the failure of U.S. efforts to solve big problems like the Middle East conflict, and the seeming inability of the U.S. government to tackle problems.
"Much of the commentary on American decline these days rests on rather loose analysis, on impressions that the United States has lost its way, that it has abandoned the virtues that made it successful in the past, that it lacks the will to address the problems it faces. Americans look at other nations whose economies are now in better shape than their own, and seem to have the dynamism that America once had, and they lament, as in the title of Thomas Friedman's latest book, that 'that used to be us,'" Kagan writes.
But Kagan argues that the United States has gone through several similarly challenging periods in the past and has always managed to rebound and come out ahead. He writes that American decline is a risk, and a dangerous one at that, but by no means is it a foregone conclusion.
"In the end, the decision is in the hands of Americans," he writes. "Decline, as Charles Krauthammer has observed, is a choice. It is not an inevitable fate-at least not yet. Empires and great powers rise and fall, and the only question is when. But the when does matter. Whether the United States begins to decline over the next two decades or not for another two centuries will matter a great deal, both to Americans and to the nature of the world they live in."
For the White House, the Kagan article, and the forthcoming book it's based on, The World America Made, offer the perfect rebuttal to GOP accusations that Obama has willingly presided over a period of American decline or has been "leading from behind" on foreign policy.
Romney hits on this theme often, such as when he said in a December debate, "Our president thinks America is in decline. It is if he's president, it's not if I'm president."
In his foreign policy white paper, Romney states clearly that he believes that Obama has resigned himself to American decline.
"A perspective has been gaining currency, including within high councils of the Obama administration, that regards the United States as a power in decline. And not only is the United States regarded as in decline, but that decline is seen as both inexorable and a condition that can and should be managed for the global good rather than reversed," the white paper reads.
But as the economy slowly improves, that argument is harder to make, and the Obama campaign is now trying to use Romney's own assessment against him.
"Governor Romney may be rooting for slips and falls here. We're concentrating on moving this economy forward," Obama's political advisor David Axelrod said earlier this month.
The fact that it is Kagan refuting Romney's argument is especially sweet for the White House, because Kagan is a special advisor to the Romney campaign on national security and foreign policy.
Contacted by The Cable, Kagan said he was pleased Obama liked his essay and he is further pleased that Obama is not resigned to an America in decline.
"I think it's important that the president also doesn't see the nation in decline and I hope his policies reflect that and not the idea we should be accommodating American decline as a lot of people are recommending," said Kagan. "I hope he rejects that and still believes we should provide the kind of leadership we are capable of."
Kagan is currently a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for the Washington Post.

Romney's Advisors Are Leftist Elites
Romney's Advisors Are Leftist Elites
Kagan and his ilk are fine with America
being a bellicose, hegemonic nation, whose prosperity and energy are concentrated in the hands of the top 25% or so and in its military and corporate exoskeleton. Who cares about internal rot? Look at the good things happening in Uganda!
America's greatness, it would seem, lie less in domestic prosperity and attendant high standard of living for the citizenry than in ongoing crusades and maintenance of the empire. Who cares about the citizens, they are just sources of revenue to carry on the Great Work.
Obama's favorite neocon, Bob Kagan, just happens to have a wife working in the Obama Administration. Her name is Victoria Nuland and she is the spokesperson for the Dept. of State. One would think that the author of this column would include this basic information.
Another question, what do Nuland, Dennis Ross, and Stuart Levey (Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence) all have in common?
Each previously worked for GW Bush and have very close ties to Israel. Hope, Change, and no daylight between America and Israel means that the same old hacks keep getting the same jobs .... and nothing changes ..... just closer to another war for Israel's benefit ....this time against Iran.
Financial experts are very up-beat this month about prospect for the US - "the economy slowly improves": maybe not so slowly compared with European and Chinese troubles. The appetite of US citizens to consume and the resources of the nation are huge, the citizens are well educated, and adoption of the latest technologies is high. So, why say decline?
wait until Obama's term ends...he isn't done with us yet...
As usual, what does Obama actually know?
One might feel better if one had some idea concerning Obama's grasp of
the question of American decline. Kagan's summary struck me as reasonably balanced, some blind spots, an amazing plunge into the Iran/1953/Guatemala/1954 blowback fiascos--very brave for a rightie--and overall, lots of points covered. And what I took as the central point--who can possibly know if the United States is losing its grip as the dominant great power?--that is an honest historian talking, worthy of the son of the great Donald Kagan.
The real question goes to the extent of the President's historical education, knowledge, and understanding generally, and to the subject of American decline. He appears to have had a solid education by the standards of the
day, and certainly some exposure to political philosophy, which gets a person knee-deep into history at the very least. But then, is there more? The SoU sentence is not what I would distill from Kagan's piece. And while that might be no more than the standard, "let's-show-them-I'm not wet" political cheerleading, one shudders to think that foolish dismissiveness of that order is actually inside the President's head!
So I would put it to you that FDR and JFK both had the sort of historical training that is largely now out of fashion. I would also note that the two
men benefited from that training in their performance.
I would also put it to you that in that sea of Obama advisers and small set
inner circle, not one historian is discernible. And a collection of political science and economics majors, let alone journalism, business, and communications majors, will look down, hard and practical, at the present,
and do no more.
So, we are not in a position to lay aside the possibility that Obama is, in Michael Crichton's memorable phrase, "a temporal provincial".
This is not a particularly useful trait in an American President, but if Obama is, the guy immediately before, even if force-reading histories, looks more lost in time by a fare-thy-well.
I would also submit that President Obama appears eminently capable
of growing in this area.
Therefore, to grow historically, the President ought to...
Read Kevin Phillips (another, albeit liberated, Republican) and his Wealth and Democracy, which fully engages certain worsening conditions in America and their links to decline, with comparisons to imperial Spain
and Great Britain. Please feel free to keep book off public book list.
Have dinner with some historians, including some who put you off the last
Bring an old friend, Kagan, and Phillips to the dinner. All deserve to be there, two know the topic, and the friend might just keep it light.
After all that's done, time to find a grizzled old liberal historian, careerist motivations largely shot, and put her/him on staff.
I'm doing the best that I can!
Try as I might, but the GOP just won't let me lift America up to the Kenya or even the Greek level. I already have homeless in all the major cities, getting $60 a day! That is fantastic, don't thank me just continue to worship me.
Let us pray: god emperor Obama (the new mohammad) who is in the white house (yeah, WHITEHOUSE bitches) holy is my name, my kingdom has come, my will be done, or I just go and cry to MSNBC, MediMatters, or NY times, in the USA as it is in Kenya, Italy, Greece, or Somalia , I will give you your daily state sponsored oatmeal and government cheese. In the god emperor Obama (the new mohammad) name we pray!

HOROSCOPES: Dec. 29
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When in a partnership arrangement, there's a chance your counterpart might have a better way of doing something. Give it a test, at the very least.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Use your common sense in matters that pertain to your health and welfare. Take special care to avoid anything that would adversely affect your well-being.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — In order to appease another, there's a chance you could engage in something that you know would not serve your best interests. Feeling remorse later won't take it back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Try to involve yourself in activities that allow you to exercise some kind of custodial influence. Doing what you do best will make for a very satisfying day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your mental attributes are likely to be far more vigorous and energetic than your physical ones. Try to select activities that challenge your mind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — This might be one of those rare days when you can actually trust your instincts regarding financial or commercial affairs, because, positive or negative, they should be right on the mark.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Endeavors you originate will have excellent possibilities for success, provided you're the one who calls the shots. Don't delegate authority, unless, of course, you have no choice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Usually you're the one who likes to be in the middle of the action, but going off by yourself might be just what you need in order to sort out some of your important ideas.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Associating with some of your closer friends could be what the doctor ordered. Instead of choosing your pals at random, be extremely selective as to which ones you want to hang with.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — No one wants to push themselves too hard unless they have to, but you might feel it to be necessary soon. This kind of stimulation could be just what you need. Continued...
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You're not inclined to dictate to others how they should run their lives, yet if someone comes to you for just such advice, you'll have much to say, and you'll be right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don't accept the status quo when it comes to an endeavor in which you're presently involved. Although it might be insignificant to another, it could be important to you.
