'• ~ gm. w 1 Hennepin Detox Appears To Be Working Underground By Gary Blair When the Minnesota Department ofHuman Services issued its "Order of Revocation" against the Hennepin County Detox Center on November 24, 1992, those involved in stopping the abuse of patients at this facility, felt that, at last, the County was finally being forced to recognize the problem. But, just as the American Indian Community was starting to believe that the system could be made to work for them, Hennepin County Commissioner Peter Mclaughlin, along with the County Board and the County Attorney's office, entered into a secret agreement on December 7, 1992, with Natalie Haus Staflen, State Commissioner of Human Services, that will once again attempt to cover up the abuse of Detox Center patients that includes rapes, beatings, neglect and deaths. Included in their agreement were the following: Hennepin County surrendered its detox license and in exchange, the state allowed them to keep their Methadone, Cocaine program. According to an unnamed state official, Hennepin County's decision to turn the Detox Center into a shelter took them by surprise and forced the State to rescind its previous Order of Revocation and to give up its fines of $200,000 against Hennepin County for un-corrected rule violations at the Detox Center once the county decided to surrender its detox license. Because of the County's move, the state may lose any authority that it has over the Detox Center, control that includes its ongoing investigations of patient abuse. Troubling to many abuse victims is the fact that the Minneapolis Police Department and theHennepin County Attorney's office will be asked to investigate and prosecute the new abuse charges, when they wouldn't take their initial complaints in the first place. With all the information that's been complied, the State Department of Human Services has never once made any mention of rape or abuse of detox patients in any of its reports or letters to Hennepin County Officials. According to James Loving, Director, Division of Licensing, State Department ofHuman Services, in an earlier interview with the PRESS, said, "Allegations of rapes and assaults all go under the heading of neglect." According to Irene Wade, an American Indian and one ofthe Detox Center employees who reported the abuse, the following is an example of the mentality of some of her coworkers who still work for the county at its newly converted shelter. She said, "Most recently two ofthe nursing staff took male patients home with them upon their release from the Detox Center. They then got them drunk all over again and then had them involved in a game of strip poker. The next day the pair came to work and told other staff that they also slept with them". Wade said, "The things they talked about aren't worth repeating." "They were reported, but like the abuse, nothing was done. They were investigated, but they never lost a day's pay." Wade said. (County rules say no former patient contact for up to six years for medical staff.) According to Wayne Raske, who works for the State Department of Human Services, Hennepin County is now trying to operate a low-level Detox Center without a state license. ThePRESS has learned that the newly created shelter is still locked to the public, and clients must have a blood alcohol level of .10 percent to be admitted. As the major media operates in Minnesota, issues of abuse that affects American Indians are still being ignored. According to Kathleen Messinger, who is now the spokesperson for the Native American Community Coalition for Civil Rights, the group which was formed to address the abuse of patients at the former Detox Center, "I was told on December 8th by a WCCO reporter that the "Detox stuff is old news." She said. It seems that the abuse of American Indians at the former Hennepin County Detox Center has also shed light on what may be an even greater problem within the American Indian community. Most recently, Irene Wade called numerous American Indian Organizations asking that they send a staff person to show support at the news conference that was being held at the Minneapolis American Indian Center on December 9th involving the detox abuse. Wade said, "I called over 15 Indian programs and most of them had some excuse for not coming." Others in the commumty say these program directors have become nothing more than leeches on the suffering of their own people. Yet, others say it has to do with fear of losing their program's funding. Still others say these programs have become part ofthe problems found in the American Indian Community rather than the solution. And still yet, others say how can there be any change in the Indian Community if people who are suppose to be leaders are scared to stand up for the people they are suppose to be serving. For example, at the press conference there were a couple of staff from different Indian organizations present. ThePRESS watched these individuals closely, they kept a low profile and said nothing. Of the Indian Community members that did attend the press conference, what was the real message that they may have received. Well, as one would expect, Irene Wade was mentioned as a victim and not as a hero, which she is. Not one person talked about her bravery, instead they concentrated on the harassment she's received for reporting the abuse which could have been addressed in a different setting. American Indian educators had no students present at the press conference. In spite of the mistake made with Wade, there were more leadership skills demonstrated at that DetOX/Page 4 White Earth Planning Department Conducts Public Hearing By Mel Rasmussen Wednesday, December 8, 1992, may well be a Red Letter day in the annals ofthe White EarthReservation. The White Earth Reservation Tribal Council, through the office of their planning department conducted a public hearing. The purpose of the hearing was to gather information and input from band members concerning the applicationfor funding by the Tribe to ANA (Administration for Native Americans, Dept. of Labor) for funds to set up a new law enforcement agency and tribal court system. None of the Tribal Council members attended this meeting, as usual. Mrs. Mary Heitsler, head of the Planning Department, and her two assistants, Lisa McArthur and Pam Keezer, opened the meeting. Heitsler stated that the Council had directed the Planning Department to seek these funds for the above purpose. The reason for this came from the apparent problems of shared law enforcement and lack of response upon the reservation because of a three county jurisdiction problem. Because of these issues of lack of coverage, the Council felt that retrocession was necessary and the need for their own separate law enforcement agency was necessary. Heitsler then opened the meeting for input from the band members. . The first speaker was Ray Bellecourt. Bellecourt stated, "First of all, theMinnesota Chippewa Tribe's Coristitutiondcesritallowforcriminal court or civil court at this point. Until the constitution is amended to allow this act and the way the system is right now without a separation of powers there's no way to enforce this act and to make a fair system. Without this separation of powers there is no way the people on this reservation could allow this RBC to have a court." Bellecourt went on to state that this would be a major problem with the existing structure. This court would become self serving and abusive to those not in favor by the elected officials or their representatives. Ms. Wally Ann Warren then addressed the group and voiced displeasure with the turnout by the Band members from White Earth Reservation. At this meeting approximately 35 members out of some 2,500 who live within the reservation boundaries responded. She felt that it is important that the tribal council contact and poll all of the band members about the need for a tribal law enforcement agency. Marv Manypenny then asked Heistler about the method of publication of the public hearing announcement process. Heistler said that the standard procedure of the tribe was to publish the announcement in at least two newspapers near the reservation. At this point a lively discussion came about. Band members felt that this point, even if valid for the grant process as being adequate, did not truly address the community or properly notify them of the public concerning the Minnesota Chippewa Tribes (MCT) authority and the Tribal Government's responsibilities for law enforcement. Manypenny stated that the issue of law enforcement of tribal laws comes from the treaties and not from the authority of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. Over the years MCT has taken on the role of law enforcement for conservation issues. This has been tacitly accepted by the 8 tribal councils ofthe MCT over the years. This is in direct violation ofthe treaty rights that have been given to the tribal councils and must be reclaimed. Again the major issue came up with the separation of power within the RBC. It was felt that the RBC has overstepped their authority as a business committee versus that of a Tribal Council which is vested with the people ofthe Band. It was brought up that the right of informed consent was necessary for all band members and cannot be decided by a few select members. The consensus ofthe group was that the people would be heard as a band and not just by a select few as this meeting in a public forum so dictated. Any issue of this magnitude had to be brought to a referendum for approval. Heitsler went on to say that the input was invaluable and the issue at hand was the issue of law enforcement and a court system. At this point several members from the audience started to discuss the issue of the possible misuse by the RBC and what hearing. Manypenny discussed the issues Whit© Earth/Page 5 Photograph by Mel Rasmussen The New Hennepin County Shelter Located at 1800 Chicago Avenue South ■■ : ' ) The Native We Support Equal Opportunity Fur AMI Reopls Founded in 1931 Volume B Issue 31 December 11, ta3S Copyright, Turn MuUvm Ammrtcun Rress, 133B Bigfoot International Ride Begins December 15 Photograph by Sarah Penman Arvol Looking Horse gathers with riders at the beginning ofthe 1991 Big Foot ride. Photo By Mel Rasmussen Jimmy Ironlegs Weaver Observing the Presentation by RBC Staff By Wawokiye Win The Big Foot Memorial Ride is an international event which made it's mark in the pages of modern Sioux history. What started out as a small event in December of 1986 has brought national attention to what is known to the people as "Sitanka Wokiksuye". The ride is a 270 mile trek across some of South Dakota's most barren land in freezing temperatures. This trek on horseback is held in honor of Chief Big Foot and his people who were massacred by the 7th Cavalry on December 29, 1890. The origins of the Big Foot Ride date back to over a hundred years ago when the Sioux (who prefer to be called Lakota) were mighty warriors who roamed freely on the Great Plains, hunting and fishing wherever they pleased. This stopped when gold was discovered in California. Because the Lakota fought vehemently to stop the wagon trains from crossing their land, the U.S.' government asked them to sign a peace treaty which gave them guaranteed and undisturbed use of their lands as long as the grass grows and the rivers flow. This was the Treaty of 1868. However, this promise was shortlived when General Custer discovered gold in the Black Hills in 1874. The government made several attempts to buy the Black Hills from the Sioux but was rejected. On June 26, 1876, General Custer made the mistake of attacking a peaceful spiritual camp in Greasy Grass, Montana. A large number of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe had gathered together for a Sundance. Thinking the camp to be small, Custer attacked in full force, only to be annihiliated. In retaliation, Congress ordered all Sioux to report to reservations by the following January. It was at this time that the Sioux were chased across their lands and herded onto reservations. Sitting Bull had fled to Canada and asked for refuge but was denied. He then returned to what is known as the Standing Rock Reservation At this time, there was a spiritual revolution started by a Paiute named Wovoka. He promised that if they did the Ghost Dance " Wanagi Wacipi" the land would roll up with all the white people in it and the buffalo would return and they would live as they did before the white man came. This gave the desperate people hope and many participated. However, the government became afraid of an uprising and blamed it on Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse turned himself in at Fort Robinson but was killed on charges that he tried to resist arrest. The order to have Sitting Bull arrested was given. He resisted arrest and was shot point blank in the face. His people ran south to Big Foot's camp. Big Foot had received an invitation from Chief Red Cloud to come to his agency and he would offer him protection. Cold, starving and desperate, the people started for Red Cloud's agency a hundred and fifty miles to the south to Pine Ridge. Many were sick, weak and not dressed for the weather as they made their way south under freezing temperatures. The cavalry surrounded them at Wounded Knee Creek and on December 29, 1890, in the early morning hours the band was asked to relinquish their weapons, including knives and awls. History becomes vague at this time as to what exactly happened on that fateful day. What is known is that when the smoke cleared, over 3 00 Sioux lay dead and wounded on the cold open prairies of their beloved land. Their bodies lay surrounding the flag of truceBig foot had set out in an attempt to surrender before the killing started, those that survived were now stripped of their weapons and unable to protect themselves they were at the mercy of the 7th Cavalry; triggerhappy and out for revenge Men, women, children, and even infants lay frozen in the snow, later to be buried in a mass grave at Wounded Knee. Black Elk, a Sioux holy man, said,'' A dream of a people died in the snow that day and the Sacred Hoop was shattered." He also said that it would take seven generations to bring it back. Today, we are the sixth generation and our children are the seventh generation. The first Big Foot Ride took place on December 23, 1986, and was co- founded by Birgeil Kills Straight, Alex White Plume, Rocky and Ricky Afraid of Hawk and Jim Garrett. The riders started out from Bridger, South Dakota, which is located on the Cheyenne River Reservation, and rode to the site of the Wounded Knee Massacre. Since that time, the ride has taken place almost yearly and every year the number of riders has grown significantly. The, most prominent one was held in 1990. See Bigfoot/Page 3

Great Neil Young interview from when Tonight's The Night was released. I think the tour he talks about at the end is the Rust Never Sleeps tour, and hot damn his excitement about it is palpable. A long and great read, he touches on all aspects of his career up to that point and is very open.
I think Crowe was working on a long in the works book with Neil or documentary, or i can be completely off, which is also possible.
Found this, which is promising
We had a big session that was not unlike the Bob Dylan Biograph session where he was talking about songs. Track by Track. What inspired them, what they remind him of today. Just amazing stuff. Now, the entire thing is awaiting the release of Archives Vol. 2 or it got me thinking that we now have enough material to do a Conversations With Neil Young book. Which would be just as thorough as we were able to be with Billy Wilder. That feels like it would really create a difference with the Shakey book and be a wonderful thing for fans to hear Neil talk about his music through the years in Q & A form.

PILOT MOUNTAIN — The Pilot Mountain Board of Commissioner's regular meeting on Feb. 25 is scheduled to open with a presentation by Surry County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) President Faye Carter. She will be speaking on the groups mission in recognition of February as Black History Month.
Resident Michael McCarty has signed up to speak during the public forum portion of the meeting about the subject of elections. Town Manager Homer Dearmin said budget amendments in the new business portion of the meeting could include a recap of the Pilot Center roof repair project, and formalizing how the proceeds from the sale of the center will go to the repairs.
The commissioners could also consider approval of a 2013 contract with Gibson & Company for the annual town audit. According to Dearmin, this firm has done the town audit for the past five years. The board could also take action declaring some broken police department communication equipment as surplus property so that it may be sold. This action is routinely taken as a record keeping procedure.
A discussion of fire hydrant painting and repairs by Commissioner Gary Bell is also scheduled for the meeting. "I'd like to see our plans and make sure they are all operable and safe," said Bell. "We need to have our hydrants tested and updated to be sure they are safe and our residents deserve that."
Other agenda items for the meeting could include department reports from the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Board, Police department, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services, public works and water and wastewater departments. A town manager and town finance report is also on the proposed agenda for the regular session.
The meeting is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and will be held in the board room at the town hall.

International Cricket 2010 Review
With the World Cup currently in full swing and E3, the gaming industry's major event of the year, taking place this week, the release of Codemaster's International Cricket 2010 may have got lost somewhat among the soccer-mad media frenzy or the buzz about PlayStation Move and how 3D gami...

Inversion Review
Inversion is one of those games that you really hope works. From the outset, you are promised guns, gravity manipulation, and epic battles. The sad reality is, often promises don't come through. This is one of those times. The game opens with you, Davis Russel, and your ever so stereotypical...

Iron Man 2 Review
Nothing says branded dog turd like a movie tie-in. Happy Meals are the pinnacle of this mountain of muck, but videogames are a close second. The concept of Iron Man – a man in a jet-propelled suit of armour that's packed with fearsome weapons, a flying gun with arms, is prime videogame c...

Travelers to See More Relaxed TSA Policy this Spring
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: March 6, 2013
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will allow small, foldable knives, souvenir baseball bats and golf clubs, along with other sports equipment.
According to TSA, the change is an effort to allow officers to focus on higher security risks like explosives.
Some citizens have mixed emotions about the new policy.
"I would like to bring my knife with me everywhere I go, I've always had a knife," says Ray Coombe.
"If you start to make these small changes, the list is going to get longer and longer until it's everybody's personal desire," says Thom Brown.
The changes do not go into effect until April 25.

Blackadder hits back at Plumtree
6 Mar 2012
Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has emphatically dismissed Sharks coach John Plumtree's claim that the South African conference is the toughest.
Last week Plumtree said the Australian and New Zealand conferences weren't nearly 'as intense as ours here in South Africa'.
Asked for his thoughts on that issue, Blackadder said: 'I'd be quite happy to swap with [Plumtree]. There are no easy teams in conference rugby.
'At this end, the Highlanders and Crusaders and Chiefs-Blues showed how fiercely competitive the conference model is. Wait 'til you get down the track when you have a team ahead and all the other teams with nothing to play for [you'll find] how tough conference rugby is, because it's basically like an All Black trial.
'She's tough, rugged rugby and one thing about it, too, a lot of pressure produces fine players. Everyone can see how you can handle pressure. It's certainly not easy. It wouldn't get any tougher than our conference.'
Meanwhile scrumhalf Andy Ellis was more straightforward in his view that there was no harder conference than New Zealand's.
'When I was playing the Super 12 and Super 14, those local games, the New Zealand games, were always the toughest by far. That's just been doubled, really,' he said, adding that the South African conference had a couple of 'weaker teams'. 'Certainly, the New Zealand conference is by far the strongest. We're playing the toughest rugby week-in, week-out.'

6 Mar 2012, 08:16 amPoint is the Aussie conference is the easiest of the 3.End of.
NZ and SA conferences are both competitive, tough and physical, no point comparing them. If your a Saffa you will believe ours is tougher and if your'e a kiwi the reverse will be true. -
6 Mar 2012, 08:17 amoh puuuuleeeeaze!
where's your evidence?
6 Mar 2012, 08:39 am@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-2: The Bulls put 50 on the Cheetahs over the weekend, and only had 12 players on the field for the last 10 minutes.
The Cheetahs and Lions are terrible, and have been for a number of years.
6 Mar 2012, 08:39 am@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-2:
Easy – just look up the Super Logs for the past 10 years – work out who has had the most teams at the lower regions of the table for the most time.
I think the answer will stand out like dog's boll*cks…
6 Mar 2012, 08:47 amyet the cheetahs drukked the crusaders last season didn't they?
as well as the waratahs in sydney.
6 Mar 2012, 08:53 am@WOLFMAN21(WOLFMAN21)-3:
now consider that for one or two premier sa team to make the playoffs they have to beat a number of other 'very weak' sa teams looking to hurt them at all costs..?..
teams which invariably lift themselves physically and more against the premier sa sides.
it goes without saying that the old comp system and even more so the new one disadvantages the sa teams vying for super rugby titles.the ausssies and new zealanders have easy bankable points at home and away against the weak sa sides…get it..?..
thats the whole point and some about the sa conference not just being the toughest but also the most difficult to top and still be in a good position against the oztrilasions. we have travel factor plus no east wins going away but the oz/nz's have the advantage of jet lag plus easy bankable points on their away legs which our waek teams give to them… but of course do not do the same for the top sa teams… in fact they do worse by taxing our top sa teams physically and injury wise thus leaving them weaker when they have to play the oz/nz teams…
think about it some more….
now tell moe your opinions…
see… thats what i said…
6 Mar 2012, 08:58 amit has always been harder to win this comp as a sa side than it has been as a nz/oz side.
6 Mar 2012, 09:01 ameven if the two or three weak sa teams have 'hypotheticaly' been gifting the two strong sa teams five pointers throughout this comp you must remember they have likewise been gifting the nz/oz teams easy five pointers too, throughout this comp.
and these are away, trave factor five pointers to boot.
do the maths, man…
6 Mar 2012, 09:07 amSimple really…
NZ conference.. overall the the best sides… Lions and Cheetahs make sure of that…
SA conference… think Plumtree may have meant the toughest in terms of physicality and brutality… injury toll probably higher….
Not much difference I feel between the top 3 teams in either conference….
Aussie conference = Reds….
6 Mar 2012, 09:09 amPlumtree is clearly stupid. I now understand why the Sharks are ****.
6 Mar 2012, 09:09 am@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-6:
It's traditional that you either speak for the Accused or the Accuser – not both at the same time.
"the ausssies and new zealanders have easy bankable points at home and away against the weak sa sides…get it..?.."
I think that's the point that Andy Ellis was trying to make. There are some easy games in SA. By "tough games" I'm sure he means "tough to win" – which after all is the point of the whole game. To win the comp. Not to get beaten up.
6 Mar 2012, 09:15 amyeah i agree with you and have said before…
i think the kiwis are confusing competitive teams with tough physical players… two different issues… (but bakkies makes a compelling case for how the traditionally weaker saffa teams do in benefit the nz/aus sides…)
'toughest' refers mainly to physicality IMO… saffas just seem to reserve their hardest for the guys ahead of them in the pecking order for top/bok honours…
the fact that when the kiwis counter the point they refer to log placings, proves that they don't even think in terms of the physicality… which says all it needs to right there…
bl'adder agent…!!
6 Mar 2012, 09:28 amUFO @ 12
Probably why Kiwi teams win more? -
6 Mar 2012, 09:32 amKiwis play more rugby, not moer rugby
6 Mar 2012, 09:36 amprobably…
i'm not saying it's a good thing that saffas get so stuck into each other… in fact i never understand it… just saying that it is true that's how we do it…
and sure… if we focused more on log position maybe things would be a little different…
(maybe we could also 'gently massage' a few more favourable results… )
6 Mar 2012, 09:36 amclever…!
6 Mar 2012, 09:42 amPlumtree is not talking about which conference is toughest to win from a skills level point of view.
He's talking about the physicality of the derbies.
South African derbies are marked by guys trying to run through one another.
6 Mar 2012, 09:55 amI just wish the Lions and Cheetahs had the same intensity against the Oz & Kiwi sides as they do against thier local rivals.
SA= 2 weak sides ( Lions & Cheetahs)
Oz= 3 weak sides ( Brumbies, Rebels, Force)
Nz= ? -
6 Mar 2012, 10:13 am@BillTong(BillTong)-11:
no bill, you're missing the point on this. its harder for the sa teams to win this thing both physically and just from a difficulty point of view because while the oz/nz sides have tough games they for the most part follow a pretty regular pattern of one or two teams topping their conference with points against the others, they then get to travel away and bank easy five pointers on their sa legs which they have been guaranteed for as long as the comps existed.whereas for the one or two sa teams who are table toppers they have to travel against time (jet lag wise) and are guaranteed any easy five pointers in oz/nz.
added to this they also have to endure higher than usual physical games against the weak sa teams.there are easy games in sa for the oz/nz's but no easy game in sa for the top sa teams.
6 Mar 2012, 10:19 am@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-19:
and are guaranteed any easy five pointers in oz/nz = and are not guaranteed any easy five pointers
6 Mar 2012, 10:26 amQuite simple really as alluded to earlier and I'm sure most would agree. It is claimed that South African players have a more direct approach to the game whereby they try and run through the player rather than take the gap. South African rugby has also long been accused of being more 'physical' (whatever that means) by opposition teams who always talk about fronting physically against the Boks in order to win the game (their words not mine). Naturally this takes more of a toll on the body than the other two conferences whose players take less tackles per game than SAFFA players.
However, if you look at the conference with the best quality teams it is clearly New Zealand since they have less weaker teams in their conference than the SA/AUS conference. Therefore they have to play top quality opposition on a weekly basis in their own conference. They can't be faulted for SA and AUS having weaker teams. If anything, the fault lies with SA/AUS for 'gifting' New Zealand teams easy five-pointers instead of strengthening their own conferences.
6 Mar 2012, 10:45 amI think, based on last year's tournament there is not much to chose between SA and NZ, but Aus teams dont compare.
I put this comment on last week:
This site has been going on about which conference is the worst to be in and I said from the start the SA and NZ conference is the most difficult, while the Aussie conference is some way behind. Well here is some facts. (TP – Total Points, WC – Within Conference, OC – Outside Conference).
TP WC OC % OC/Tot
Aus 177 96 81 45.76%
Some usefull observations. The Aussie teams picked up 177 points in total of which 81 was outside the conference. 33 of these were obtained by the Reds. The bottom 4 teams therefore picked up 48 points, therefore 12 on average.
In the SA conference the Sharks picked up 30 points outside the conference as they did not perform too well within their conference, while the Stormers (24), Cheetahs (22) and Bulls (20) all got more points from outside the conference than the bottom 4 Aussie teams.
The same applies for the NZ conference where all their teams, Crus (29), Blues (24), Hurricanes (20), Highlanders (20) and Chiefs (19) all got more points than the bottom 4 Aussie teams.
Another interesting observation is that the SA conference produced the least number of points within the conference, although teams such as the Sharks, Cheetahs and Lions were some of the most attacking teams. The conclusion must be that when the SA teams face each other the scores are lower and less bonus points are scored. This can be summarised by only looking at the Sharks results, where they only scored one 4 try bonus against the Lions in a 30-30 draw. They however scored 4 try bonuses against the Force, Rebels, Brumbies, Hurricanes and Crusaders. Again the Aussie teams feature in a negative way! -

6 Mar 2012, 11:25 am@bokfan1(bokfan1)-23:
Apologies homie!
My mistake -
6 Mar 2012, 11:29 amI would say the 'Canes are not a strong team (granted the Lions allowed them to look good last Friday, but generally speaking not really).
The Chiefs have been a bit of a joke for a while (altho it can be argued that they finished higher than both Cheetahs and Lions last year).
The Blues are inconsistent and can be good, but then can be easy.
Highlanders started off well last season, but kinda faded away. They have been impressive to beat Saders and Chiefs so farThe point is, Mr Blackadder and Mr Ellis, is that the SA teams will pound each other senseless and a 15-12 game between Sharks and Stormers is way harder than a 29-14 game between Chiefs v Blues.
Even the 51-19 Blues v Cheetahs game was more physical than the Landers v Saders game (IMO).
The history of the Currie Cup provides this motivation. You only have to read every Bok's biography to see it – and especially most recently Big Vic's book. The Bulls have a massive incentive to beat the Cheetahs and vice versa, one which I doubt the NZ teams have the historical legacy of
6 Mar 2012, 11:30 am@Cordo(Cordo)-24: hahaha no worries bro
We veteran bloggers have to keep the "newbies" in line -
6 Mar 2012, 11:54 am@bokfan1(bokfan1)-25: And yet the Cheetahs and Lions have never beaten the Bulls in the history of the Super 14/15.
6 Mar 2012, 11:55 amwhen plumtree referred to the sa conference as the "hardest", he was not only talking about the physicality, but also the monotony of playing the same teams twice in the s15 as well as again the currie cup.
oz don't have a local competition and the nz npc is made up of different teams to the s15 franchises. -
6 Mar 2012, 12:05 pm@WOLFMAN21(WOLFMAN21)-27: True! But it doesnt stop them trying to smash the living **** out of each other
6 Mar 2012, 12:15 pm"Last week Plumtree said the Australian and New Zealand conferences weren't nearly 'as intense as ours here in South Africa'.
Bolloks, Plum, and you know it.
6 Mar 2012, 12:17 pm@Golden Boy(Golden Boy)-21:
"Naturally this takes more of a toll on the body than the other two conferences whose players take less tackles per game than SAFFA players."
Do you have some basis for saying this or is it just what you would like to believe?
I have just done a count of the total tackles in the last round of the two kiwi local derbies vs the two Saffa local derbies and there were 100 tackles more in the kiwi games.
The leading tackle counts so far this year are 8 kiwis, 1 Aussie and 3 saffas (Minnie, Strauss and Chilliers from the Lions who clocked up heaps of tackles against the Canes)
If the Saffa players are more interested in injuring each other than in winning the game they are just plain stupid and the judiciary needs to put a stop to it. -
6 Mar 2012, 13:04 pm@Horings(Horings)-22: Dis nou blerrie interesante syfers Horings – dankie.
As ek lees dat die SA Spanne MEER punte buite hulle konferensies gekry het, en bo-op NZ spanne het MINDER punte as die SA spanne beruik – dan kan dit bewyse wees dat daar minder punte beskikbaar is in die SA konferensie juis is dit moeiliker?
6 Mar 2012, 13:09 pmBoring bashathon boneheadball by Boks
Plumtree is just telling the Yappies what he knows they want to hear
knowing all along it's all bullshtt
6 Mar 2012, 13:29 pmso everyones playing tough rugby……good to know.
6 Mar 2012, 14:50 pmThe kiwi players are contracted by the national body and they spread the talent about. There is no way NZ would have a situation like we have in SA where Bismsrk sat on the bench to Smit or the Stormers had JdV, Fourie, de Jong and Sadie while other unions struggle in these areas.
6 Mar 2012, 14:51 pm@PrickBoks going South(PrickBoks going South)-33: Ooooooh is this the new farkin idiot troll sent to trawl and wind up the Saffas on this site?
I was just starting to enjoy Keo again, after Slack Panty, Waka and the other foot soldiers of the Kiwi-mafia had left or gone quiet.
Your nick must the the stupidest one devised yet. Interesting use of alliteration though in your post – so hints of a poetic soul maybe?
Welcome to the South African site about the Springboks and gauged towards South African rugby fans. I will make sure your time here is as uncomfortable as possible
6 Mar 2012, 15:44 pmThis is a silly debate.
What isn't up for debate is that the Aussies have the vastly weaker conference.
Of course the keevies will say theirs is tougher. They see the Lions and Cheetahs as incredibly weak.
Of course the Saffas will say ours is tougher. We know the Lions and Cheetahs roar only against fellow Saffa teams but go all Lamb-e-e-e-e-rt against the keevies and ozzies.
7 Mar 2012, 07:24 amyou must be todays sacrifice as chosen by all the other whinging Yappies
7 Mar 2012, 10:38 amHi Cane…if you do a more in-depth analysis of the type of tackles, you will see that the SA players put in bigger hits. Its not really the tackle, but the type of tackle that makes it more of a 'game of attrition' (sorry for using those words..I faarking hate it when I hear it on tv.) It seems to be a South African thing whereby big boys try and show each other up by seeing who can put in the biggest tackle…I have seen a few in NZ as well, especially when Jerry Collins was around…Now THAT was a legend!!!!
Have your say

Chasing Performance Is a Fool's Game
-Bob Dylan
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --At around 1,300, the S&P 500 was recently trading around 8% below the highs it made last spring, although it's still up by more than 3% for 2012. How does the performance of your stock portfolio compare?Did your manager hold shares of J.P. Morgan Chase(JPM) when the recent news of its huge trading loss broke and its stock tanked? Did your manager fail to buy Apple(AAPL) before it enjoyed spectacular gains?
Should you care? My answer is no, if you made good decisions about how to invest your money in the first place.
For those who check their account constantly and fret when they find its performance lags major market indices, my advice is to take a deep breath and relax. Be patient. If your portfolio is being managed by a trusted professional that has articulated an intelligent strategy to you and appears to be following it, you should let their strategy play itself out for a while before second-guessing yourself out of it.
Too many people are under the impression their investments should always be showing superior performance to market averages. Otherwise, they think, what is the point of paying a so-called expert to manage my money?
The truth, however, is that winning investment strategies actually require periods of under-performance -- sometimes extended periods. For many investors, their ability to stick to their decisions and endure these moments of doubt and unease is what ultimately decides their success or failure as an investor.
Don't believe me? Let's examine some facts:

100% agree best class no bias reap ALL the things
It is definitely an interesting looking class, but on my list of things classes to play it comes in 4th.
Is it the best class for you? That's a matter of perspective. Also, its too early to judge all class capabilities until the game actually releases. Since we're having many betas, anything can change from them.
I'm rolling one from day one simply because there are too few games out there where you can actually play as a necromancer, the ones i know off the top of my head are Diablo 2, the first guild wars, Phantom Brave, and Valkyrie profile 1 and 2.
Necromancers are by far the best class. Don't you know the game is balanced around Necromancers = The other classes together
Talking about necromancers being awesome:
Chuck Norris exists because Sardu doesn't squash minions that are too weak for him.
You can play a necro in Skyrim if you spec right but not really a true version. D2 necro was the best though. My buddy and I would play co-op and he always picked barbarian. Diablo destroyed him so many times while i just bone spiked the bastard to death
Ah I don't know. True with beta anything could change but if you look at its traits a lot of them correspond with each other maybe a little more them any other class?
Oh, you're serious.
Well I just don't know what to say.
Ohhhhhhh yeah I am lol I just want to know everyone thoughts. Hoping I wasn't going crazy :o
On the topic of necromancers, does anyone feel like flesh worm is utterly useless?
Originally it didn't move, and you could teleport to it. Honestly while I didn't really care for that, its much better than how it is now, since its mobile. So basically you can teleport to your mobile wurm that's like two inches away. It does too low damage to really be effective in combat, and too low life to be a meat shield.
I'm thinking they should keep it mobile, but give it a much better skill to make it more valuable if its going to move.
With the alteration to the mobility of the flesh wurm the secondary ability has become completely inappropriate. The entire skill needs to be revisited.
Yeah the worm there are not to many things that can be done with it. But you can spawn it where you want soooo spawn it near a mob and then aoe them and then game? lol
See in that instance the skill would be used as a gap closer, but the Necromancer already has a gap closer in the form of Dark Path. Theres no reason to have two when you can just have the Flesh Wurm be its own, unique, viable ability.
ah agreed. What does this other skill do again?
Its the third(i think?) Deathshroud ability Necros get, it sends a spectral hand forward, teleporting the necromancer into close range if it connects with a target, and then deals aoe damage. Previously, it would simply blink the necromancer towards any location in range, which allowed for great mobility, but its been nerfed since then.
When we get into beta if the skill hasn't changed by then we will just have to make some suggestions to the devs through feedback to have the skill re-evaluated.
But would you really want to waste deathshroud for that? Maybe if your farming by yourself but in a group? I'm not sure.
To be frank theres really no need for a necromancer to have a gap closer outside of PvP, since we can do all of our damage at range. However in PvP high mobility skills are valuable for obvious reasons, and old Dark Path was amazing in terms of mobility.
Check out this video of early (outdated) Necro PvP in which the player uses this skill to blink around the battlefield: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVFJAVrzDXI
Also, how's shadow fiend? I rarely see videos of it, but I did see one from the latest beta where its secondary skill did like 2500 damage.
Range is the big factor for me. In WvW I can see many uses for a medium range port provided there is cover etc. Thinking more for the purposes of creating distance vs. closing.
Creating distance is obviously the more desirable use for a blinking ability for the necromancers, which was what pre-nerf Dark Path was. Now it is a gap closer and we also have the port to our flesh wurm.
The only issue with the flesh wurm port is minions aren't controllable and by default any ranged attacking minion will stand right next to you at all times. This means that you can now port to your left or right about 2 feet, and use dark path to go right to an enemy: those are your blink options. There is no escape blink for necros and the wurm blink is effectively useless. The entire skill needs a rehaul. =/
Yeah I understand but with the range thing that one guy said and your gap closer wont apply with this guy
I feel like his class if over looked...
btw great vid Scootermouse
Honestly I think Necro should get one more weapon... preferably the two handed hammer.
C'mon, dark magic+Skull bashing weapons= Big fun. I can seriously think of a whole bunch of creative moves for the necro to have with two handed hammers.
can it include a dark shroud of magic that envelops the hammers head right before we smash it into their crotches?
Good idea! See, we're creative like this. We should tell Anet this during the next beta.
If they are planning to keep the flesh worm as a mobile minion, then they really need to change the worm's model because having it scooting around while it is still in the ground looks pretty crappy.
Seahorse minion!
Well, if they should have a water oriented minion I think the obvious choices are a big demon leech, and a zombie crocodile/alligator.
Undead dolphin torpedos
You guys are coming up with some crazy ideas haha I like them. I agree with Haelyn It does look pretty bad.
Yeah but it's a flesh worm, outside of redoing the model to look like genitalia it's got to scoot across the ground!

Adobe Photoshop Tip– Lickable Candy Aqua Sphere Icons
Download List: Aqua Sphere Style Aqua Sphere Overlay Style Icon Subject Style IconBuilder |
You've seen the icons. You know the ones I mean. They look like colored glassy
orbs and often have logos or other icons embedded within them. Oh, you've seen
them alright. They're everywhere. They're here and here and here and here and
here and here and here. Why are they so prevalent? Because they are easy to
make. All you need is Photoshop and the Icon Factory's IconBuilder plug-in.
For the purposes of this tutorial, I will be using graphics provided to me
by Nitrozac and Snaggy from Geek
Culture. The final collection contains 24 different Joy
of Tech and After
Y2K icons and is available for download. He's how I made 'em:
Step 1: Look deep into the crystal ball…
Create a new RGB Photoshop file that is 128 pixels by 128 pixels and 72 pixels/inch
in resolution. Set the contents to "Transparent" and click OK. Set
your ruler units to show pixels and set two horizontal guides, one
at 1 pixel from the top of the canvas and another at 112 pixels. Set two vertical
guides also, one at 8 pixels from the left edge and another at 119 pixels from
the left edge. Name this layer "Aqua Sphere".
Within these guides, create a colored circle. You can either draw a selection
and fill it with a color of your choosing or use the ellipse tool to draw your
shape the same color as your foreground color.
This all seems pretty intricate and tedious but that is only because I'm showing
you how to match my icons exactly. Once you've gone through the tutorial successfully,
you'll probably be comfortable enough to experiment with other sizes, shapes
and colors. You'll soon see that this is the hardest part of the tutorial.
Download the MacMerc
Aqua Sphere Style, load
it into your Styles palette and apply the style to your circle. I told
you it would be easy.
Now duplicate the Aqua Sphere layer. Name the duplicate "Aqua Sphere Overlay".
the transparency of the Aqua Sphere Overlay layer and fill it with
50% gray. Now you'll need to download the MacMerc
Aqua Sphere Overlay Style, load
it into your Styles palette and apply that style to the Aqua Sphere
Overlay layer.
Other uses for this tutorial: If you just happened along this tutorial while looking for information on how to make quick and dirty Aqua spheres, you're done. If you want to Aqua buttons, there's not much more to it. Just make you document about 3 times wider, create an Aqua button shape and apply the MacMerc Aqua Sphere Style to it. You might want to scale the effect by about 150% and extend the canvas below the button to accommodate the larger drop shadow. Notice is this screen shot I have not show an extended canvas. See how the canvas ends before the drop shadow fades out completely? That's bad…very bad. |
Now, hopefully you have a subject for your icon ó something to embed
within the glassy sphere you've just created. Go look for something appropriate
and meet me back here for… Part
Part 2: Adding subject matter to you icon
Choosing the right subject is very important. You will only have a small circular
area in which to position your icon, so it is best if it fits well within those
confines. Also, for the purposes of this tutorial, the picture you use for your
icon's subject must not have any background. It must be a single layer that
is in dependant of background.
Open the file containing your icons subject image. Copy that image and paste
it in new layer between the Aqua Sphere layer an the Aqua Sphere Overlay layer.
Name this new layer "Icon Subject".
We want this image to be confined within the sphere. To do this we will have
to mask off any parts of it that might otherwise stick out.With the Icon Subject
layer selected in the Layers palette, select
the transparency of the Aqua Sphere layer.
Apply this selection as a layer mask to the Icon Subject layer by going to
the Layer menu and choosing Add Layer Mask>Reveal Selection.
Now to finish off the look of this icon, download, load
and apply MacMerc
Icon Subject Style to the Icon Subject layer. You might need to
the effect if the highlights do not look correct.
Okay, the look of the icon is done…now we need to make it function as an
icon for the Mac OS.
Part 3: Making your sphere into an icon
As the IconFactory web site puts it, "IconBuilder
is a filter for use with Adobe Photoshopô that makes creating icons a
snap. By harnessing the professional power of Photoshop and Photoshop layers,
IconBuilder provides icon artists with the most complete tool set possible for
modern icon design."
Download IconFactory's
IconBuilder (there are a few versions available, so make sure you
download the right one for you) and install it according to the instructions
that accompany it.
IconBuilder will build an icon out of individual layers only and will not read
layer styles, so we will need to choose Merge Visible from the Layers menu (or
Go Filter>IconFactory>IconBuilder Pro and select the Aqua tab. Make sure
your screen looks like mine and then click the "Both" arrow. Click
"Save" and name your icon and save it to your desktop. Click Done.
Before we go any further, make sure your preferences for your History palette
are set to at least 2 as we will be backtracking to create the various sizes
of icon resources.
Go Command-T to activate Free Transform (also found under the edit menu) and
by 37.5%.
Go back to IconBuilder, select the Grid tab (you may need to center your icon
in the Photoshop Layer preview window. Click the Center button.) and click the
QuickBuildô button. Click the Save button again and save over your original
icon file. Click Done.
Open the History palette and select the "Merge Visible" event to
go back in time to before we scaled.We are going to scale again, but we want
to make sure that we scale from the original and not from a scaled reinterpretation
of it.
Go Command-T again and scale to 25%.
Go back to IconBuilder and select the bottom square in the center column of
the the grid view. Center the icon in the Photoshop Layer preview window if
need be. Click the Both arrow to plug that image into the 32-bit, 32×32 pixel
icon resource. Select the next square up in the grid (8 bit, 32×32 pixel icon)
and click the Both arrow again. Continue by selecting the 4 bit 32×32 pixel
icon square and the 1 bit 32x 32 pixel icon square and plugging your icon image
into those resources with the Both arrow button. Click the Save button and save
over your original icon file once again. Click Done.
In the History Palette, click back to the "Merge Visible" event again.
Go Command-T and scale to 12.5%
Go back to IconBuilder and select the bottom square in the leftmost column
of the the grid view. Center the icon in the Photoshop Layer preview window
if need be. Click the Both arrow to plug that image into the 32-bit, 16×16 pixel
icon resource. Select the next square up in the grid (8 bit, 16×16 pixel icon)
and click the Both arrow again. Continue by selecting the 4 bit 16×16 pixel
icon square and the 1 bit 16×16 pixel icon square and plugging your icon image
into those resources with the Both arrow button. Click the Save button and save
over your original icon file. Click Done….cuz now you ARE done.
If you'd like to preserve the layered version of your Photoshop file for future
reference or editing, simply click the event above "Merge Visible"
in the History palette.
That's it!
There you have it. I know it was a very long tutorial but, I think you'll agree,
it was pretty simple. The MacMerc Aqua Sphere Style and the MacMerc Icon Subject
Style can also be used to "aquafy" logos and other shapes but its
powers should only be used for good. Have a look at what can be achieved with
just a little extra effort and Photoshop know-how.
You may find yourself looking at an icon that won't update after you edit it.
And you may tell yourself, "My god! What have I done?" Don't worry.
The problem stems from that fact that Mac OS X has a nasty habit of holding
onto cached previews of Finder windows and other items long after they become
outdated. What you need to do is clear that cache and everything will be fine.
Cache Out X is a good utility to occasionally fix this problem with the
Tune in again some other week for more graphics tips. In the meantime check
out previous Graphics
Tips of the Week or send
me a message and let me know what you would like to see in future installments.

Feminism and Politics source ref: ebook.html |
PrefaceTwo experiences inspired me to write this book. The first was research undertaken for a book on women and public policies in the United States during the years 1976-80. The second was a visit to the United Kingdom in 1980 during a sabbatical semester. At that time I became fascinated by the very different direction the British feminist movement seemed to have taken, and I wanted to learn why the divergent British structures and values had emerged. Over the next six years I visited England for research three times; and on a separate trip I also visited Sweden, a nation noted for progressive egalitarian policies. Meanwhile I continued to follow events and interview principals in the American women's movement. It is my hope that the unique contribution of this book is to provide a comparative political framework for analysis of the context and evolution of feminist movements, thus augmenting the fine work that has been done by other scholars who have studied disparate aspects of feminist politics in various nations. The list of people and organizations to whom I owe a debt of thanks for helping to make this research possible is almost too long to record. I am particularly grateful to those who provided financial support for the project. x Significant among these was the Fulbright Commission, which provided me with a three-month grant-in-aid to the United Kingdom in 1982. This opportunity to conduct interviews and undertake firsthand research, with the kind cooperation of the Institute of Education at the University of London (thanks to the gracious invitation of a colleague, Margherita Rendel), proved absolutely crucial. Additional financial support for overseas research was made available by the Faculty Senate of the City College of New York and the financial office of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. I would also like to thank the Henry A. Murray Research Center at Radcliffe College of Harvard University, where I spent part of the fall semester of 1985. The opportunity to share my ideas with other visiting scholars and the staff was invaluable and helped sharpen much of my thinking. I owe particular thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation for providing me with the wonderful opportunity to spend an idyllic and highly productive month at the Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, Italy, in the fall of 1985. The beautiful surroundings, unlimited time to work uninterruptedly, and stimulating colleagues provided me with a work experience that I shall never forget. My great appreciation is extended also to the Arbetslivcentrum in Stockholm, which generously gave me an office and research assistance during my stay in Sweden in May and June of 1986. I am grateful, too, for the help of the Swedish Institute, which arranged all my appointments in such an efficient and helpful fashion. Good feedback and stimulating suggestions emerged when I had the opportunity to present excerpts from this book to the academic community -128; -148;at Radcliffe, Columbia University, the Center for European Studies at xi Harvard University, Augsberg College, the University of California at San Diego, and the University of Minnesota, as well as at a City College Women's Faculty seminar and a symposium sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York -128; -148;and when I presented papers at American Political Science Association and International Political Science Association conventions. In addition to thanking these institutions for their support and assistance (and of course the people who make them possible), some individuals deserve special thanks and deep affection. Annika Baude of the Arbetslivcentrum not only arranged my stay at the center but also provided me with wonderful housing and, even more importantly, her moral and intellectual support and expertise during my stay in Sweden. Barbara Hobson, then of the Murray Research Center, helped me to rethink many of my ideas and finally to arrange the trip to Sweden that proved to be so instructive. Ethel Klein of Columbia University helped analyze data and gave willingly of her time. Norman and Barbara Gelb provided unlimited hospitality on my several visits to London; Alice Kessler-Harris made my first trip to Britain memorable. John Mollenkopf of the Department of Political Science of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and Maud Eduards and Diane Sainsbury of the Department of Political Science at the University of Stockholm have my heartfelt thanks for their efforts. Diane Sainsbury was especially helpful in providing data and many stimulating comments. Marna Feldt of the Swedish Information Service answered innumerable queries with unfailing good humor and expertise as did the staff of the British Information Service. The many individuals in the United States, Sweden, xii and the United Kingdom who gave unstintingly of their time in interviews and often afterwards must be recognized here as well. It has been a happy experience to learn that there is an international women's network, and I am proud to have been able to meet so many active and vital members of it. An extraordinary debt is owed to my family. My husband, Joe, and two sons, Andrew and Jonathan Gelb, have lived with this research project since its inception. Andrew deserves special thanks for help to a computer novice. They have lovingly borne my absences from the family and cheerfully accepted the long hours necessary to complete the project (they have also, happily, occasionally reaped the benefit of cross-cultural research by accompanying me on the travels the research entailed). An essential word of gratitude goes to my two typists, Audre Procter and Chris Pritchard, whose patience and help were invaluable. Finally, my thanks to Naomi Schneider and Mary Lamprech of the University of California Press and to copy editor Liese Hofmann. While only I bear responsibility for the research and analysis presented in this volume, I hope that the many individuals and institutions who helped to support it will not be disappointed. |

Emir Sehanovic's Collages Are A Psychedelic Freakshow
More collages. This time from Bosnian artist Emir Šehanovic whose latest series, '99 — 101 soft pages' takes the idea of of collage – the process of cutting up countless images and putting them together to create a new one – to its logical conclusion by actually building the original images up on top of one another and then cutting back to create a 3D image. The result, psychedelic, surreal images that don't look out of place in a freak gallery.
Perhaps he titled the work, '99 — 101 soft pages', because he uses up to 101 layers in his work? Who knows. There's very little information about him anywhere. No matter. His freaky, horroe induced images are wonderful.

Most of the Dodgers' pitching focus this spring has been elsewhere.
Chad Billingsley's elbow, Clayton Kershaw's hip, Hyun-Jin Ryu and the great unknown, Zack Greinke being the $147-million new guy, where Ted Lilly, Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang will ultimately fit in.
And then there's Josh Beckett, former ace, sort of hanging around at the back of the rotation, presumed fifth starter.
Beckett, 32, made his first appearance of the spring Tuesday in the Dodgers' 8-8 tie with the Giants at Camelback Ranch, throwing two nice innings.
Beckett went a combined 7-14 with a 4.65 ERA last season, which seemed a long way removed from his 20-7, 3.27-ERA season of 2007. Manager Don Mattingly had at least expressed some concern about the number of innings (nearly 1,900) Beckett has thrown as he prepares to start his 12th major-league season.
But Beckett went 2-3 with a 2.93 ERA in seven starts with the Dodgers after coming over in that late August blockbuster trade with the Red Sox. He's in that place of his career where he's lost some velocity on his fastball but trying to make up for it with advanced pitching knowledge.
He got his spring off to a nice start Tuesday, holding the Giants scoreless and to one hit in two innings. He walked one and struck out three.
Tuesday's offense was led by a three-run homer from Alex Castellanos, Ex-Angel Jeremy Moore had two doubles and Skip Schumaker doubled in two runs (in a five-run second in which Juan Uribe accounted for all three outs).
Kenley Jansen added one inning of scoreless relief, but new left-handed reliever J.P. Howell was hit for two runs in his one inning, and closer Brandon League for one run.
The Giants scored four in the ninth to tie it on two-run homers by Brock Bond and Brett Pill (his second).

Knicks Have Better Options For Intro
Now, while I'm all for Swizz Beats (I am. He's great. I'm not mad 'cause he, 'cause he's hood rich), I feel like there are too many other suitable songs for this team to be introduced to. When The Garden's PA guy is elongating 'Melo's name (Caaarmeeelooo Aaanthonayyy) or screaming STAT's (Amar'e STOUDEMIRE), I don't really want to hear an original production in the background.
