Fuschillo gets SIM water well grant - page 18 vis niJCX «t ^^^'^ ^9 69tih ¥iea,r, No. 44 Freeport, N.Y. 11520 The Community Newspaper Thursday, October 28, 2004 Arrest made in Diana Correa's death by Laura Schofer After a four month investigation, an arrest has been made in the murder of Diana Correa. Kenneth Middleton, 23 years old, of Hempstead was charged last Friday, October 21, with two counts of Murder in the Second Degree (Intentional and Depraved). These are both Class A felonies. In addition, Mr. Middleton has been charged with assault in the Second Degree, a Class D felony; and Assault Third Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor. "The motive appears to be revenge," said Freeport Police Chief Michael Woodward. On the night of June 21, Diana Correa, along with two teenage boys was sitting op the front porch of 53 North Columbus Avenue when Mr. Middleton rode by on a mountain bicycle. He beheved that one of the boys on the front porch had been responsible for knifing him in an incident that took place a few years earlier. "The indictment alleges that Kenneth Middleton fired several shots from a handgun.at two males and a female who were sitting on the front porch of 53 North Columbus Avenue. As a result of the shooting, Diana Correa, 15 years old, [of Florida and formerly of Freeport] was killed and Michael Gillard, 16, of North Columbus Avenue was struck in the leg," said Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon. "It was a case of mistaken identity," said Chief Woodward. No one on the porch was involved with Mr. Middleton. The suspect was already in jail at the time of his indictment on unrelated drug charges. "Mr. Middleton was known to Freeport Police. He was last arrested in Freeport in 2001," said Chief Woodward. In the past, Mr. Middleton had been arrested in Freeport on drug charges as well as assault. The investigation was also conducted with the help of the Federal Bureau of One problem, many solutions in $50 million Environmental Bond Act by Laura Schofer A swan on a lake in fall; a child drinking from a fountain; a family fishing from a dock; these are just a few of images used in a 30-second television commercial that hopes to persuade residents to vote in favor of the Nassau County's $50 miUion bond issue, which will appear on the November 2 ballot. It will cost taxpayers approximately • $7 a year to enact this referendum. A coalition of environmental groups called Nassau Citizens for Clean Water and Open Space came to Wantagh Park on October 18 to help gamer support for the referendum. If passed, the environmental bond issue will help to protect clean drinking water supplies; acquire rapidly vanishing open space; renovate worn-out parks; remediate polluted industrial brown Fields and reduce run-off into our streams, Icikes, wetlands, harbors and bays. In addition to the. television spot that will appear on Cablevision, TNT and Fox over the next few weeks, the coalition is planning a direct-mail campaign to residents within the town of Hempstead. "It's important that people understand that this referendum is for everyone," explained Lisa Ott, executive director of the North Shore Land Trust. "It's more than just preserving open space." Less support Erik KuUeseid, New York State director for the Trust for Public Land, told The Leader that "the numbers show that there is just a little less support on the South Shore. We want people to understand that this measure includes stormwater control, wetland protection and measures to refurbish the parks here on the South Shore." Which parks? Mrs. Ott said they were still working on a list they would provide the Nassau County Planning Commission. (continued on page 8) Investigation's (FBI) Gang Task Force. Chief Woodward said Mr. Middleton had a history of gang involvement but did not know if he was still involved with gangs. "Hopefully this arrest will give the family some measure of comfort and closure," said Chief Woodward. Chief Woodward told The Leader that the arrest was made after a concerted effort on the part of the pohce and the people in the community. "Community members assisted us in finding him as well as other individuals," said Chief Woodward. Mr. Middleton appeared before Nassau County Court Judge Victor Ort on October 22. He pleaded not guilty. He was remanded and sent back to the Nassau County correctional Facility. He is due back in Court on November 10. His lawyer, Michael Mays, was unavailable for comment prior to press time. "We must remain vigilant in order to prevent these violent acts," said Chief Woodvvard and then added that "There is a transient gang presence in every community. We all share the same problem."

CIA Weapon/Science Analyst Position
Does anyone know anything more about this position other than what is posted on the CIA website? https://www.cia.gov/careers/opportun...s-analyst.html

Seriously - if anybody here does know more about it, would they risk their own future career by posting what they knew on the internet?

Just speculating, but since they are an intelligence agency I have a feeling it has a lot to do with analyzing other countries' weapon technology progression (nuclear, biological, chemical, etc) to determine the threat level they pose. I mean, who really knows what they do there, but I really doubt they're spending their funding on weapons development when there's other government departments/private contractors for that purpose.

CIA Weapon/Science Analyst Position
I hope you are aware of the process one must take in order to become a federal employee at an organization like the CIA.
Feb20-12, 06:09 PM | #5 |
What exactly do you want to know? Weapons/technology analysts in the intelligence community pretty much try to figure out the state of other countries' technology, and the implications for the US.
Three things to be aware of are that (1) everyone and their grandmother applies to the CIA online, so it's to your benefit to get human contact, at a job fair or preferably through a more personal connection; (2) the clearance process for CIA (and NSA) takes a ridiculously long time, so it's often not a great idea to look at these places straight out of school (unless you're comfortable with being unemployed for months to years while you wait for a final answer -- that could be "no"); and (3) intelligence work in general is nowhere near as cool as you probably think it is, though it can certainly be interesting depending on your inclinations. |

When you answer the phone at your work now you use typical business phone courtesy: "Hello! This is John Doe, of the Acme Corporation, Coyote Supply Division." If you get this job you will answer your phone with "Hello." The mindset is quite different. You can't tell your friends what you do, you can't tell your family, and you definitely can't tell that cutie at the bar. When you leave work, you leave work. This is a big plus, BTW. Your current job of supplying the coyote with diabolical roadrunner capture devices requires you to take your work home with you, to think about it over dinner, to think about it in the shower, even to think about it while you talk up that cutie at the bar. Leaving work behind when you leave work is a blue collar luxury, but with this job you are not saddled with a blue collar salary. You will be writing reports, lots and lots of reports. They make that pretty clear in the job statement. You had better enjoy technical writing. You will be seeing stuff that sometimes is very cool, sometimes very scary. But for the most part it will be rather boring. |

The lots and lots of reports is very clear. It is also likely you will be reading lots and lots of reports, because an obvious and practically universal question is "how have things changed between then and now". |

"extensive background investigation", and they are serious. My Q clearance is long gone, but even in the 70s/80s the FBI interviewed ALL my past faculty, ALL my hometown neighbors with "X" blocks of my home, asked everyone about drug use, womanizing, poked into all my finances, background checks on my family, and Im sure more than I'll ever know. They wanted to know anything that someone may be able to hold over my head as blackmail, etc. In those days an L clearance was around 1-3 months and a Q could take 6 months.
At the ripe old age of 57, my brother hit the FBIs mandatory retirement age and was thinking about things like this. According to my now permanently retired brother, the newer security evaluations includes all your immediate family finances, including bank balances, investments, etc. (parents, siblings, children, and the same on your spouses side), with the aim to I.D. folks getting paid for leaks via family. Generally, I suspect the clearance will come with the you give up your right to x, y, z legal protections. I remember the old Q had some language to that effect. In short, this is no small step. My brother was never bored, but it was nothing like the FBI on TV. I suspect the CIA would be similar for someone that likes investigative work/research. However, based on my brothers experience, your attention to detail and documentation of everything in government intelligence better be at the highest level. But for the mandatory retirement age, hed still be there. Politics are serious in play, however, so thick skin is a must. You will never be able to discuss anything about your work, so you will never impress friends, your childrens friends, etc. |

WEST CHESTERIt was exactly what a district final should be.
It wasthe two best field hockey teams in District 1 Class AAA going at it hard, firstfor 60 minutes of regulation,then another 21minutes of overtimebefore No. 2 Central Bucks South finally broke through in the secondseven-on-seven overtime period to edge No. 4 Unionville and claim theDistrict 1 crown.
It was a great game, said Unionville coach Beth Lynch. Twoovertimes takes a lotout of you,so wre going to have to rest up,shake it off and get back to it Wednesday.
Unionville struck first. With just under 22minutes to play in thefirst half, Annabeth Donovan grabbed a ball, brought it up near thecircle, and fired off a pass to Erin Karcher at the top of the circleon the right side. With Izzy McDonough waiting on the pads, Karcherlet loose with a bullet. Though her teammate was in position, Karcher
didnt need help as her shot found the back of the cage for the early1-0 lead.
The lead was short-lived,however, as South needed less than a minuteto answer back, with Emily Kligett scoring the equalizer.Despite South holding a fairly significant statistical advantage,holding the edge in both shots (5-2) and corners (7-0), the teamsremained knotted up going into the halftime break.
Its sometimes tough in this cold weather to be as accurate as youdlike, said South coach Jeff Harding.Our objective is to put it ontarget,but their goalie came up with some beautiful savesand theirteam in general was tough around the cage.
No one was tougher around the cage than Unionvilles Katja Hansen,whoseemed to come up with just about every defensive play within 20 yards of her.
Katja is really just a stone wall back there for us, said Donovan.We dont have to worry about much when shes back there. Plus shesalways the one to lighten the mood, even in the toughest times.
Unionville creeped back into the statistical race, forcing fivecorners and getting off 13 shots on goal after the start of the secondhalf and in overtime, but just couldnt dent the scoreboard thanks tosome fantastic play in the cage by Sarah Zeszotarski (10 saves).
Our goalie from last year was injuredand hasnt been able to play,forcing Sarah to come in as a freshman, said Harding. She has reallystepped up for us this year.
South forced three corners in the first overtime, but failed toconvert any of them,and the game went to its second extra session.The end finally came with Megan Hamilton notching the game-winner forSouth a little over six minutes into the second overtime.
The game went two overtimes; we obviously fought hard the wholeway, said Donovan. It was just two good teams,and they got the edgetoday. But its just a loss, not the end of the season. We just haveto get it done at states.
Unionville kicks off its state tournament Wednesday afternoon with afirst round match-up against Hempfield,the third-place finisher fromDistrict 3.The game will be played at Central Bucks West High School,with a start time of 1:00 P.M.
We took a couple tough losses early in the year, and turned it aroundto go undefeated in the league, said Donovan. Were pretty good athandling adversity. Im not too worried about us being able to justlet this slide off our backs and get back to business Wednesday.
Central Bucks South 2, Unionville 1
Unionville 1 0 0 0 -- 1
C.B. South 1 0 0 1 -- 2
Unionville goal: Karcher.
C.B. South goals: Kligett, Hamilton.
Goalie saves: Cassidy (U) 6; Zeszotarksi (CBS) 10.

I'm curious about how the Wiki editing guidelines decided upon, specifically with regards to naming of ramps. Taking a random example from the Wiki: "Exit 24: Schwarzenegger Rd" - it seems to me that the guidelines are optimised for navigation purposes, with strong emphasis on matching the signage.
There's a discussion over in the UK forum about our own guidelines for ramp naming. Currently, we include the current road in the ramp name to aid traffic reports. So, using US road names and style, we might have something like this: "I-310 (S) Exit 24".
The argument for why we do this is for the benefit traffic reports. So, I'm wondering why the US guidelines don't include this information. Is it not needed? Does the nearby city give enough information? Are ramps immune from traffic jams? How does this work with TTS?
FWIW: I'm not trying to incite a flame war here, I'm just trying to understand.

Former Jackets Charlie Culberson, Josh Smoker, Josh Schubert and Jordan Poole are all in either Arizona or Florida currently for Spring Training, and each are trying to impress their clubs.
Culberson and Smoker are the experienced players of the group as both are in their sixth Spring Training of their careers after being drafted in 2007. Smoker was taken with the 31st overall pick by the Washington Nationals, and Culberson was drafted 51st overall by the San Francisco Giants.
Schubert and Poole, however, are starting their first Spring Training as professional players as they were both drafted last June, Schubert by the Cleveland Indians and Poole by the Nationals.
Culberson has made it the furthest up the ladder out of the group as he made his Major League debut last season, playing in six games for the Giants in May. This spring will be different for him as it is his first as part of the Colorado Rockies organization. He was traded from the Giants last July in exchange for experienced infielder Marco Scutaro.
"Being over here with the Rockies has been an easy transition for me," said Culberson, who reported to the Rockies Spring Training complex in Scottsdale, Ariz. in February. "From the coaching staff to the players, I have really enjoyed everything so far.
The biggest things I have been working on this spring are getting into a good routine and just trying to be myself out there. I know what I can do, and I'm just trying to show the Rockies that."
It will also be a little different spring for Culberson because it's his first as a father after he and his wife Sarah had their daughter, Collins, last September. He said having a family has changed things for the spring and his expectations for the year.
"My expectations for the year are to have fun," said Culberson. "I will have my wife and little girl with me throughout the year. Having them with me will be a lot of fun and keep my mind off of ball sometimes, too. I will work when I get to the park and have family time at home. This year should be fun, and we are looking forward to whatever comes our way."
Poole and Schubert, who were both a part of Calhoun's 2010 state championship team, are both trying to make a big impression in their first Spring Training. Poole reported to Nationals' camp in Viera, Fla. on March 1, and Schubert reported to Indians' camp in Goodyear, Ariz. last Friday. Both are focusing on improving in the spring.
"The biggest thing I'm working on is making more contact," said Poole, who spent time in Class-A Short Season for the Auburn Doubledays as well as a few weeks in Nationals' Rookie League after signing last season. "I struck out too much last year, and I want to cut down on that. Other than that, I'm just trying to get better in all aspects."
Schubert said he is also working on contact as well as other things.
"I want to put those strikeouts last year behind me," said Schubert, who played in Indians' Rookie League last year after signing and spent time at Instructs in September. "I am concentrating on putting the ball in play and the power will come after that. The Indians have told me they like me in the outfield with my defense and arm, I've just got to get more consistent and reliable at the plate and defensively."
Smoker, who was a part of Calhoun's 2005 state championship team along with Culberson, is still working hard to make it up the Minor-League ladder after suffering several injuries and setbacks over the last few years.
For the four former local stars, nothing is written in stone as to where they will begin the year, and each has different expectations and guesses as to where they will start the season.
Culberson has a possible shot to make Colorado's Opening-Day roster as a utility player that can play second, third and even some shortstop. Still, he said he's not putting too much thought into that right now.
"I'm not sure where I will start," said Culberson. "I'm trying not to worry about that so much. I am focusing on getting ready for the season and see what happens from there.
"Whatever I can do to help out the Big League Club, that is what I am going to do."
Schubert said he is aiming for starting above Rookie League ball where he finished last season.
"It's mostly pre-determined where they want you to be to start the season," said Schubert. "If everything goes as planned, I'm probably going to start in low single-A for Mahoning Valley in the New York-Penn League so that will be good if it happens to put rookie ball behind me. If I play like I'm able to, I'm expecting to be there. If I just play lights out this spring, I could possibly go to Lake County (High Class-A), but I'm expecting to start in Low-A."
Poole, who started his college career at Ole Miss before transferring to Chipola College, said he will go wherever the organization sends him, and he will work on becoming a better player wherever he goes.
"I wish I could tell you, but I have no idea right now where I'll be," said Poole. "I would love to make a full-season roster, but wherever they send me, I'll be happy. I'm just working on being consistent as a player right now. Eliminating slumps and stretching out the hot streaks is my goal for this season."

Through its extensive network of media experts, SPORTFIVE International markets sports media rights to platforms across the world. With its head office in Switzerland and local offices in Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore and the UK, the agency's media sales teams combine local territory knowledge with industry experience to secure maximum value and exposure for media rights to premium sports events.
SPORTFIVE International prides itself on being the first sports agency to have acquired and to sublicense the media rights to the Olympic Games. Further to its agreement with the International Olympic Committee, the agency is marketing the media rights to the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi in 2014 and the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Rio in 2016 in 40 European countries.
As the recognised global leader for distributing media rights to football properties, SPORTFIVE International manages an impressive portfolio of premium football rights. For the qualification cycle of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, SPORTFIVE International represents the international media rights for a significant number of European national football associations, and is widely recognised as the leading player in this market.
Following on from its successful partnership with UEFA for UEFA EURO 2008™, SPORTFIVE International was appointed by UEFA as its media rights sales agent for UEFA EURO 2012™ in 49 countries throughout Asia and Oceania. The agreement includes the media rights to the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship™ and the UEFA Women's EURO 2013™ in the same countries.
Partnerships with more than 100 European clubs, including media rights to selected UEFA club competition matches (UEFA Champions League™ and UEFA Europa League™ qualification matches), as well as some domestic leagues and cups, further strengthen SPORTFIVE International's presence across the global football spectrum.
A selection of other world-class properties, including the French Open Tennis Championships, FIBA World and Asian Basketball Championships and heavyweight boxing involving the Klitschko brothers, keeps SPORTFIVE International's portfolio of media rights active across a range of sports, and the agency is constantly looking for new opportunities to expand its media business.
As the world of media continues to evolve, SPORTFIVE International recognises the importance of providing up to date digital media support as an integral part of the agency's media services. Working closely with the production team, the digital media department produces and distributes live streaming and highlights clips primarily to betting websites, as well as to TV channels, news outlets and football club websites across the world.
Constantly looking towards the future and, in particular, to the opportunities which social media (Facebook, Twitter, amongst others) and new technology applications such as Apps may present, SPORTFIVE International continues to develop its digital media offering.
In 2012, the agency launched Qualifiers 2014™ - a multi-platform experience dedicated to live digital streaming of national football matches. The online streaming shows the FIFA World Cup 2014 European Qualification matches for those games for which SPORTFIVE is distributing the media rights (match availability in each country subject to SPORTFIVE's agreements with its broadcast partners).
Qualifiers 2014™ has been created to maximise exposure and audiences across the world, with live streaming and highlights available on mobile applications for iOS and Android, the internet and Smart TV.
The development of such digital platforms creates additional opportunities for brands to partner with premium sports events, enabling sponsors to get closer to fans across a selection of media platforms. The subsequent increased public awareness of the brand association transforms SPORTFIVE International's marketing packages from pure marketing visibility into a multi-platform and fan-engaging experience, significantly enhancing the value of the product.
SPORTFIVE International is proud to bring national team football free of charge to multiple digital platforms for the first time ever.

In this Article I will be talking about the differences between shooting video on a Traditional Video Camera ( 3CCD/ CMOS/ etc.) and shooting video on a DSLR ( Canon 7d, CMOS), as well as what you need to know to make the transition and if it's right for you. Also after briefly describing each of the main differences I will give either Traditional Video or DSLR Video my vote for which performs best in that field.
The Look:
The first thing people will notice when they see you using your DSLR is that it looks quite different than the video cameras we are used to, from an XL1 to a RED they pretty much look the same. But now we have a drastically different looking piece of equipment that ( depending in your setup) can even look comical at times. Anyone who has done any research in these Video Capable DSLRs ( I will mainly be referring to the Canon 7D) knows that they are not to be underestimated, but when you show up to a shoot for a client and pull out your stock 7D, you may get a raised eyebrow or two. There are ways to overcome this, with an every growing list of companies designing products exclusively for the DSLR video industry, you can transform your camera from a bland looking stock cam, to a shiny eye catching contraption equipped with everything your used to seeing on the set with those ancient things we called Video Cameras.
(Conclusion: TIE)
Now obviously there are going to be some usability issues when moving from Video to DSLR Video. Now whether your using a D90, 5Dmkll, or 7D, these cameras are designed for taking pictures, NOT for holding above your head for three hours trying to get the best angle of the festivities at your cousins Bar Mitzvah. So herein lies the issue, we have this piece of equipment designed for one thing, and we want to use it for something else. Well this is something you will learn to accept because 1080 24p Video is really just a happy Bi-Product of these next generation DSLRs, and they are still after all, essentially a picture taking camera. There are ways to compensate for a certain level of discomfort though, changing the way you shoot ( putting it up on a rig or shoulder mount), or buying a cheap strap that screws into the bottom of the camera ( doesn't help much). I will post more and list specific solutions in my " Pimp my DSLR" article coming soon.
(Conclusion: TRADITIONAL VIDEO WINS)
Say goodbye to those dusty twisted stacks of unlabeled Mini DV tapes behind your computer, and welcome to the wonderful world of File Based Media! Unless you are a former HVX user, or have some crappy AVCHD camera, you are in for a surprise. And it's a great one. Shooting video ( or pictures) on a DSLR is all captured to your new best friend, the CF Card. Your CF Card ( Compact Flash) is a small 3.3 mm thick, square memory stick with various capacities and writing speeds out there to match any of your shooting needs. Shooting full 1080 for 3 minutes on your Canon 7D will take up about one gb of space. The most common CF Cards are 2, 4, or 8GB. For video purposes you should be purchasing 8GB cards and up. An 8GB card will give you 24 minutes of HD footage. CF Cards currently go up to 64GB and the 7D accepts up to 32Gb. Also the transfer process is simple and similar to what you do every day when transferring data between drives. You can also say goodbye to Log and Capture, but best of all.. NO MORE DROPPED FRAMES!
(Conclusion: DSLR WINS)

In wake of the John Burbine case, local lawmakers announce a comprehensive proposal to reform state sex offender reporting policies.
Local lawmakers told the Boston-area media Wednesday morning that they have filed comprehensive legislation aimed at improving the ways information about sex offenders is shared between law enforcement, state agencies, and the public. The legislation was motivated by the charges against John and Marian Burbine, both of Wakefield. John Burbine is facing nearly 100 charges involving the sexual abuse of young children from the Melrose area, while his wife is charged with multiple counts stemming from the illegal day care she operated. John Burbine was classified as a level 1 sex offender after a 1989 case involving several young children - and with that classification level was able to avoid detection even when a local mother tried to check …

The Guide to Recognizing Your Mascots tour of baseball's minor leagues returns this week with the California League. I'm sorry it took me so long to finish this, I wanted to just write it, but everyone thinks I've got mental problems, so I had to stuff my lunchbox full of pictures of the Bakersfield Blaze and High Desert Mavericks and hitchhike to the West Coast myself. I had some troubles along the way (such as a hot shot blogger named Lucas who has already written about all of these mascots), but a helpful group of bikers took me most of the way. It saved me a lot of time, but I don't ever want to hear "Send Me An Angel" again.
Anyway, enough of my literary wizardry. If this is your introduction to the series, be sure to click the A Guide to Recognizing Your Mascots tag and read through the leagues we've already covered. This one will be just like those, except all the giant Muppet things have temperature names. Sh:t, I just ruined the entire article. Sorry, my only joke is about how the baseball llama's name is "Sunny."
Click through, enjoy the hilarity, and drop a comment. Don't make me get all emotional in a big dinosaur.
I was pretty disappointed to find out that the Blaze mascot was a dragon named "Heater" and not Lolita Davidovich with tassel pasties on her big banana boobs circa 1989. I know I date myself with these references sometimes (hey everybody, who loves Robotech?) but if you were nine when "Blaze" was released, you'd remember them too.
The Blaze website doesn't provide a lot of background on Heater, and mostly sends me to a .pdf file about how ten dollars in support of him will get me a membership card. The team has been around for 70 years and has been everything from the Dodgers to the Indians to the "Boosters," a team of minor leaguers who lie down on the ground so the other team can sit on them and be taller.
Wikipedia mentions Heater and suggest that he is "not to be confused with the former mascot of the Western Baseball League's Chico Heat." After a brief bit of Googling, let me assure you, the only thing I'm going to confuse with the Chico Heat's mascot is that transvestite Gremlin from Gremlins 2.
Wooly Bully of the High Desert Mavericks is an upright, hip-hop dancing bull in Stevie Ray Vaughan's hat who has entertained Southern California baseball fans for uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro years. He seems pretty straight forward, but deeper analysis reveals his sad, doing-it-on-my-own overtones. I came into this entry ready to make Mel Gibson and Top Gun jokes, but then I looked up what "Maverick" actually means.
Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, especially an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother.
There's a "rebel, cowboy" definition that the guys on the team with names like "Ogui" and "Yoervis" cling to as they're on the fast lane to Seattle Mariners glory, but Wooly Bully is almost certainly definition 1. He's been separated from his mother, and without branding they can't know who he initially belonged to. So they just keep him at the ballpark, and he keeps dancing, hoping to please the Adelanto natives with his antics so they don't drop him in the volcano.
Watch him now, watch him watch him
The High Desert Mavericks also have a guy called the "Rally Wizard," a secondary mascot who looks like a girl's action figure (or a knock-off troll doll) and only appears when the Mavericks are behind and need to rally. This is apparently a huge trend sweeping the Minor Leagues, as I first learned about it in the Salem Red Sox souvenir shop, where there is a big poster of a guy in a monkey suit with "RALLY GORILLA" written under him. I wanted to mention how wizards don't have anything to do with Mavericks or the desert (although they do have a lot to do with getting high), but gorillas don't have anything to do with socks so I guess you just type "rally" and shoot a random noun. Are you the Round Rock Express? You've got the Rally Burger! Big Buford the Rally Burger!
If you notice, the Rally Wizard has arms growing out of the top of his head, so I'm calling an Oz Misdirect - see that pointy hat on his head? I bet THAT is where the real wizard's head is, and the big weird face is just an elaborate breastplate. NOW we're talking wizards.
There is no God.
I don't know what in the goddamn f**k the Widow Geisel has been greenlighting as she gets closer and closer to the whimsical, Seussian Hell that awaits her, but the guy on the left is "Bernie," the mascot of the Minor League's equivalent to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino. I had to shorten the name or it would've run into the autoplaying Almay ads.
Bernie is a paint-by-numbers mascot with googly pupils that move around independently of his eyeballs, and his name is "Bernie" because "Bernardino" is the only part of that long ass name that sounds remotely identifiable. What else could they possibly give the team? You can't make a play on being "inland," unless your mascot is a guy who is exceptionally dry. What're you supposed to do with 66ers who are inland and empiric? "WELCOME TO THE GAME Y'ALL I AM A HIGHWAY FROM A GOVERNING COLLECTIVE LOCATED FAR FROM WATER." That sucks as much to write as it does to read. So no, Bernie ends up as a furry nothing who does local dentistry commercials and has a name like one of my Dad's friends.
I can't say it definitively, but the Lake Elsinore Storm might be the lamest team in professional sports. Seriously, their name is the "Storm," which is sort of a collective idea of independent elements like rain and barometric pressure and not one cohesive thing you can put on a shirt. Their logo is ripped from a No Fear shirt, and when you put the eyeballs on a black hat with an orange brim they come out looking like a Daffy Duck hat from some horrible Warner Brothers-run Disney World. On top of that, they have asinine promotions like "CHARLIE SHEEN-CO DE MAYO" (this is a real thing) and their mascot is copy-pasted over from somewhere entirely unrelated, as he is a green dog mascotting for a red and black weather team. And his name is THUNDER STORM.
I try to take a creative approach when I find teams like this, but seriously, these guys are making me facepalm so hard I've started pressing brain matter out through the pores in the back of my head. Oh, and did I mention that they have a Shrek Movie Night, and can't fork over five bucks and a car ride to Target or the video store to get a Shrek poster, so they get a child to paint one? If I ever end up in Lake Elsinore, I'm drowning myself. Oh who am I kidding, you know they don't even have a lake.
Despite having both the onomatopoeia and amalgamated nouns thing baseball teams love, KaBoom of the Lancaster JetHawks (the hawks that fly ... like jets) is easy to understand. Sure, he sort of looks like he should be flapping his wings and bird-laughing alongside some villain in a Don Bluth movie, but he's a bird and they're the hawks so whatever.
KaBoom (or "KB" for short... if I ever meet him, I'm going to tell him how happy I am that his sh:tty toy store that charged me seven dollars for Ninja Turtles action figures went out of business) has been the team mascot since 1996 (back when the team was the Lancaster Skeksis, of California's Dark Crystal League), but (like so many other teams) they keep expanding his universe, introducing "Stealth" (his little brother who is really into being in the military ... not a joke) and the Hawkettes, a group of fun bunching cheerleaders who, and I'm just guessing here, do the Chicken Dance about 47 times a game.
This is Wally the Walnut, the mascot of the Modesto Nuts, and yes, before you even ask they've got like forty other mascots with similar names. Al the Almond, Joey the Chestnut, George Washington Carver the Intellectual Black Peanut You Have To Explain To Your Kids. I just picked Wally because of this mark photo with a bunch of goats, and because he sorta looks like Freddy Krueger. He also bears a striking resemblance to Oyster Lucy. You'll love Wally the Walnut! "Oh Coach Weinstein! You've just got to start Bob Cummings! BEPPPPP"
There are few things as easy to make fun and overtly sexual as a team called the "Nuts." I mean, I guess EVERY mascot starts off as a nut, but we shouldn't be drawing attention to it. Before they were the Nuts, Modesto was the A's, which is about three letters away from giving me the funniest and most contextual Deez Nuts joke ever written.
Is this picture as funny to you as it is to me? I think I laughed for about ten minutes when I found it. It reminds me of those kids screaming about the sketchy Santa in our old Christmas article at Progressive Boink.
Anyway, the culturally insensitive "Quakes" (not a lot of Japanese players on the Quakes ... at least not anymore) play in Rancho Cucamonga, which sounds like a fake place Bugs Bunny would end up by taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque. I guess the Quakes should enjoy this season, because you know next year they're getting retconned into the RanchCats.
The mascot of the Quakes is "Tremor," a giant worm with teeth that lives under the surface and tries to eat Reba McEntire. No, I'm sorry, Tremor is a "Rallysaurus," which is actually less zoologically possible than a dirt worm trying to eat Fancy in her basement. It turns out what scientists had been classifying as a "Rallysaurus" all these years doesn't exist, and Tremor is actually a VelociORPter. They lived in the Peripheral Era.
This is Gigante, the 7-foot-7-inch Argentinian mascot of the San Jose Giants. He's supposed to be an apeish caveman of sorts, but I can't provide any more accurate definition of what he is, as I never thoroughly studied the genus that includes modern humans and the species closely related to them. No homo.
According to his bio on the Giants website, Gigante was born "in a banana tree" (you'd think they would include the city, state or country... I was born in Danville, Virginia, but I'm not write in "in a hospital bed" where it says "birthplace") and weighs "5,000 bananas." Doing the math, and assuming that your average banana weighs 120 grams (or 0.2646 pounds), that puts Gigante in at a weight of roughly 1,323 pounds, over twice the weight of obese gorillas in captivity. None of this is good. San Jose Giants trainers might be able to notice these severe health concerns if they weren't trying to be so cute with the results.
Fun fact: In 2001, Barry Bonds weighed almost 862 bananas.
This is Splash, the mascot of the Stockton Ports (a team that began with "NBA Jam" being brought to the Sega Genesis in 1993), and he is cheering for one of the worst things you can do: propose to your girlfriend at a Minor League Baseball game. It's maybe okay if you play for that team and want to do something nice in public for your girlfriend, but no, proposing to your girlfriend at a MAJOR League Baseball game is bad enough. You're basically downgrading the romance as much as possible, and might as well be proposing to her in the stadium bathroom. Put the ring in the toilet, tell her it's in there somewhere and that if she wants to marry you she'll get in there and find it. There, you're exactly the same amount of romantic.
The Ports website says Splash is a "big-boned, big-bellied, bundle of fun" but doesn't mention what he's supposed to actually be, so I'm going to say he's some sort of thing I'm supposed to squeeze at Spencer Gifts, or one of those bouncy balls with the tentacles they keep trying to sell me at Walgreens. I tried to find out some more information on Splash's Facebook page, but he has everything set to private. You know, so nobody can find out where lives.
And finally, the mascot of the Visalia Rawhide (a team named after the untanned skin of a dead animal), Tipper T. Bull. Notice that Tipper is a bull and not a cow, which leads me to believe that his Chick-fil-A looking ass goes around knocking over the females of his species while they try to sleep. So, basically he's every guy I went to college with.
While most minor league pages seem desperate to be done with their mascot bios (Splash likes hot dogs! He has fun at baseball BYE), Tipper's page includes a lengthy history, detailing his heritage and familiar history, connecting him biologically to every other cow mascot they could think of (including Bevo, the University of Texas mascot who I'm pretty sure is a real animal, meaning at some point somebody in Tipper's family was a furry who got knocked up by a farm animal). There's also a sad story about winter rolling in and his family being auctioned off, and Tipper developing this destiny to get out of the cold and make it to California, leaving his poor mother in the bitter snows of Wisconsin. It's hilarious, and includes basically everything except Galactus showing up to make him a herald to the Devourer of Worlds.
Also, his middle name is "The." so you know he's the definite article.

H.S. Football: Chi latest victim of Interboro's roll
UPPER CHICHESTER — Interboro's offense came alive in the second half scoring 27 points to post a 34-12 win over Chichester in Del Val League action Friday night.
The Eagles (2-5, 1-1) were actually in the game with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter, trailing the Bucs 20-14, but defensive breakdowns allowed Interboro (6-1, 2-0) to score two long touchdowns to break the game open.
It did not help that Chichester committed eight penalties for 72 yards in the second half alone.
"It's embarrassing," Chichester coach Ryan Smith said after the game. "To play football with such a lack of discipline…is not the way the game should be played. It is extremely frustrating."
Since their blowout loss to Episcopal Academy in week two, the Bucs have reeled off five straight wins and are poised to take back the Del Val League title.
Coach Steve Lennox said he is glad his team has found a groove, but wants his players to remember they will lose if they are not at the top of their game.
"We're good enough to win," Lennox said. "But we're not good enough to not be ready to play every week."
After a scoreless first quarter Lennox may have felt his team did not come prepared. But Interboro capitalized on an interception by Warren Allen to drive down the field at the start of the second quarter and take a 7-0 lead on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Nick Rentos to Sonny Armstrong.
Chichester then embarked on an 18-play drive that took the rest of the quarter but failed to put the home team on the scoreboard.
The Bucs helped the Eagles cause with two fourth-down, 15-yard penalties. Continued...
Interboro's defense woke up after Chichester reached the three-yard line.
An 11-yard sack on Eagles quarterback Duffy Gillhool and a five-loss loss on a run by Naceem Antenor ended the drive.
Lennox talked about his own team's lack of discipline despite its better play in the second half.
"We executed a little better in the second half, we had better field position," Lennox said. "We still made mistakes in the second half we have to correct. We have to be more disciplined. We can't have penalties and win big games."
A big reason for the Bucs run of victories is the play of their tall and talented secondary.
Lennox singled out Dan Dickerson (6-1, 175), Chris Simmons (6-5, 180) and Rashon Fentress (6-3, 215) as examples.
"I am really happy with it," Lennox said. "And they're all fast too. They're tall and very athletic. Dan Dickerson is running a 4.40 forty. But each week we're trying to get better."
Quran Mottenon rushed six times for 105 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Interboro. Allen rushed 11 times for 101 yards. Rentos was 7 of 11 for 134 yards and three touchdown passes.
After Interboro went ahead 13-0 on a 27-yard pass from Rentos to Mark Everton, the Eagles struck back on their next play from scrimmage when Gillhool connected with standout receiver Vienale Byrd on a dazzling 75-yard touchdown pass that allowed Chichester to get back in the game.
Unfortunately that was the best play of the night for the Eagles. Continued...
Penalties, dropped passes and missed opportunities kept Chichester from pulling off the upset.
Gillhool was 6 of 17 for 127 yards and a touchdown. He battered early and often by the Bucs relentless pass rush.
Smith said he admired the heart his signal caller displayed all night.
"He was hitting his marks a lot," Smith said of Gillhool. "We had a lot of dropped balls. The protection has to be better. Overall, he's going to fight through adversity, even if he struggles at the beginning.
He's going to keep fighting, that's just the way he is. You will never see him give up."
Gillhool's play was not lost on Interboro's coach
"He's a tough kid," Lennox said. "He impressed me. He has a lot of poise."
Smith said he is going to keep coaching discipline and keep his players focused so they can make the season as successful as it can be.
"We just have to keep our heads and be better mentally," Smith said. "We need to keep moving forward. Tomorrow is another day and we're going to get started bright and early."

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.
Just curious. And if so, did it have any impact in shaping your libertarian views?
i got out this year.
and i would like to say that it didnt change my views. Though it wouldnt be entirely accurate and no way of telling just how much it changed my views. my views before i joined were almost identical to ron paul's platform exceptt foreign policy. i was an interventionalist!
the 2 big things was coming to the realization that i was in fact 100% a slave to the state and i never wanted to be like that again so its made me much more intolerant of rules/laws.
and the other was before i joined the only bright spot of government was our military. It took me like 2 days into boot camp to realize just how stupid our military is and how inefficient they are. and everyday i would learn something new about how awful our military is (meaning how it operates/efficiency) i was under the delusion that our military is effective.
I have a different perspective. The biggest thing the military did for my perspective was to get me to realize how valueless an individual is compared to the group and more importantly that the whole purpose of the military is to waste scarce resources whose unseen use would go to improve humanity. Because the alternative uses are unseen it is very easy for the violent to propagandize their own use of others resources over the individuals using their own resources for their own purposes.
you reached those conclusions before or after learning about economics? I never came close to thinking about the unseen until economics. Though it certainly makes it easier to understand what Mises talks about when he is describing socialism. My unit was about 35 men, and i know for a fact that my shop could of easily of ran with 5 - 7 people. thats 500-700% worse than what the free market could provide (im also talking an actual free market not contracting it out. Civilians employees were worse).
though i agree its hard to not realize just how worthless the military treats a man's life (our own men).
yah it made me realize the calculation argument and praxeology before being exposed to the austrian school. The knowledge problem too, probably.
I did not know of the Seen vs Unseen or anything like that. My economics training like most was from college where outside of micro-economics the other stuff is just wrong or worse anti-economic. I was just at an artillery base trying to see the giant flag in North Korea that Soldier of Fortune had placed a $2million bounty on acquiring because I was curious. I could not see how my presence or the presence of the US Military did anything to keep peace and was really not good for the people of the USA and especially the people of South Korea. I really had trouble being afraid of the North Korean hordes who at any time would come storming across the border through their own mine fields in vehicles without fuel, lubricants or spare parts. Then they would have to navigate the traffic and crowded streets of the massive city of Seoul. And then I returned to the USA to Ft Carson and really got bad. There the entire division had no real mission or reason to exist. I thought that given the uproar of losing a few dozen civillian jobs that the base and me were there to provide a reason for giving these 1500 people high paying jobs(Much higher than the junior officers and enlisted.). I did not get into Bastiat, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, etc. until I went through the path of: Left wing to conservative, conservative to more freedom at like CATO, and finally more freedom to individual freedome and Austrian economics. That took about 12 years.
I kinda wish I did when I had the opportunity, I can say a lot of my years after college were wasted anyway.
Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
I was drafted and became a consciensious objector. My case was accepted and I didn't do a single day in slavery.
Malachi:Wow, thats old school. Are you a hippie? I am old but not that old. We had the draft longer than the US and the UK here. Together we go unsung... together we go down with our people | Post Points: 5

A bumpy troop transition for Afghanistan
The U.S. and its allies want to prevent Afghanistan from becoming another haven for terror groups. As the troop drawdown gathers pace, 2013 will be a critical year in standing up Afghan security forces (the numbers are there, their competence unproven), improving civil institutions and working toward a post-Karzai succession.
In November, the International Crisis Group said the outlook was far from assuring.
"Demonstrating at least will to ensure clean elections (in Afghanistan in 2014) could forge a degree of national consensus and boost popular confidence, but steps toward a stable transition must begin now to prevent a precipitous slide toward state collapse. Time is running out," the group said.
Critics have also voiced concerns that the publicly announced date of 2014 for withdrawing combat forces only lets the Taliban know how long they must hold out before taking on the Kabul government.
U.S. officials insist the word is "transitioning" rather than "withdrawal," but the shape and role of any military presence in 2014 and beyond are yet to be settled. Let's just say the United States continues to build up and integrate its special operations forces.
The other part of the puzzle is whether the 'good' Taliban can be coaxed into negotiations, and whether Pakistan, which has considerable influence over the Taliban leadership, will play honest broker.
Private meetings in Paris before Christmas that involved Taliban envoys and Afghan officials ended with positive vibes, with the Taliban suggesting they were open to working with other political groups and would not resist girls' education. There was also renewed discussion about opening a Taliban office in Qatar, but we've been here before. The Taliban are riven by internal dissent and may be talking the talk while allowing facts on the ground to work to their advantage.
Where will North Korea turn its focus?
On the subject of nuclear states that the U.S.-wishes-were-not, the succession in North Korea has provided no sign that the regime is ready to restrain its ambitious program to test nuclear devices and the means to deliver them.

WV Commission Addresses Challenges Facing Transportation System
By: Ciara Brown
Updated: February 14, 2013
Members of the Governor's Blue Ribbon Commission say there are many road that need to be addressed in the eastern panhandle.
Members say one of the biggest challenges they're currently facing is creating enough funds for the roads and interstates.
"It's going to cost us to have to look hard and deep to find the necessary funding," says Joe Deneault, WVBT, Blue Ribbon Commission. "You know frankly our legislatures, at some point, are going to be asked to make hard votes on just how we're going to fund the investment that needs to be made in transportation."
West Virginians for Better Transportation, is a statewide coalition that works to educate the maintenance and safety of transportation.
