Embark on a fast-paced thrill ride in search of Indiana Jones—enter this cursed temple at your own risk!
Take a cliff-hanging journey through the chilling dangers of the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. With Indy's help, escape the supernatural pull of the Gates of Doom—beyond which lies eternal torment. Careen along precarious precipices that plummet into molten lava in the Cavern of Bubbling Death, avoid the screaming undead mummies of the temple's past victims and swerve to avoid lava eruptions, swarms of insects and evil wraiths.
As you narrowly escape a collapsing bridge to find yourself face-to-fang with a giant venomous snake, you'll wish that you never dared to test the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. Just when you think you've made it through safely, a massive boulder rolls straight in your direction and only one man is brave enough—or crazy enough—to save you... Indiana Jones!
The Troop Transports
Indiana Jones Adventure is neither a roller coaster nor a typical slow-speed attraction like the Haunted Mansion. You'll board a 12-person troop transport for a fast-paced thrill ride that realistically simulates driving fast over rough terrain. The experience is truly unique—and truly exciting.
World-renown archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is missing and you might be his last hope!
The troubles began when Indy followed clues deep into India's Lost Delta and discovered ruins believed to be the legendary Temple of the Forbidden Eye.
Following Indy's footsteps into the dig site, you'll walk with trepidation past deadly booby traps that he hastily disabled and see evidence that the overgrown temple holds a dark secret. Study carvings and frescos that tell the story of Mara—a powerful ancient deity who promised great treasures to the pure of heart and death to those foolish enough to gaze into its all-seeing eyes.
Undeterred by these warning signs and eager to make a profit, Indy's friend Sallah organized tours and set up ingeniously arranged mirrors to avoid looking into the cursed eyes of Mara. Despite the precautions, tourists started to disappear without a trace. Indiana Jones went into the temple to investigate, and he has never been seen again.
Are you bold enough to enter the temple, find out what happened to Indy and challenge the wrath of Mara? An adventure beyond your wildest dreams awaits.
©2013 Disney/Lucasfilm Ltd.
Your troop transport will enter one of 3 chambers in search of earthly riches, eternal youth or knowledge of the future.
Beyond the different treasures, each time you experience the attraction there are countless variations—big and small. In fact, there are nearly 160,000 possible ride combinations. Each ride is a new adventure!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I don't understand why Apple (AAPL) would do this, but I hear it's only a matter of time before it unleashes a Pandora (P) competitor called iRadio or something of the sort.I bounced the idea off Albert Fried and Company analyst Richard Tullo, who covers Pandora and is a frequent Bloomberg TV contributor. Tullo thinks iRadio ends up a bigger threat to Spotify than Pandora: "We think Apple will adopt some Spotify-like features if it can in its iTunes platform as it's really Spotify which is the direct threat." So, not a full-blown streaming Pandora competitor. That makes more sense. It gets ignored by the largely bearish financial media, but iTunes and Pandora are complementary services; iTunes and Spotify are clearly competitive. Historically, Apple has had a fantastic relationship with Pandora, featuring company executives at the iPhone launch and including Pandora prominently in the recent iPad event. Pandora consistently ranks as one of the top free apps and top grossing apps in Apple's App Store. By contrast, earlier this year at an AllThingsD conference, Spotify board member and investor Sean Parker claimed Steve Jobs tried to block Spotify's entry into the U.S. Tullo doesn't think Apple will do a streaming service because getting into the business makes no sense:
"The idea driving my view on Apple is that they make enormous margin from storage and the iTunes. The adoption of the streaming model for Apple is akin to the business development decisions of the Yellow Pages and newspaper industries which bankrupted not a company or two but entire industries."Throw logic out the window, though. It rarely prevails in Pandora conversations. BTIG Media analyst Richard Greenfield deserves partial blame for the inanity. Greenfield releases "cautious" notes on Pandora regularly. He's almost certain to spew bearishness to compound a bad news report or follow up something positive. That's exactly what he did last week shortly after I wrote two long-term bullish Pandora columns for TheStreet, including " Spotify Has the Bad Business Model, Not Pandora". Of course, Greenfield thinks Apple will do streaming radio. He believes it will effectively put Pandora out of business. Tullo scoffed at Greenfield's analysis:
"Apple cannot and will not go into this business on a whim like Greenfield suggests. If Greenfield thinks a company that cannot get you to Hoboken from Brooklyn is going to develop an ad network canvassing every user by location and every advertiser after just firing all its major developers, his ego has clearly grown beyond his media acumen. My guess is he is better serviced applying for the Jets GM position because clearly Woody Johnson would appreciate his insights based on the Jet's recent decisions."Think about it. Let's just say Pandora does $400 million in revenue in fiscal 2013. That would be a pretty strong showing for the company.

|Links to REL_1_3_0:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Add rev_maxtags config to limit number of tags per revison box Hopefully fix configure.in (finally?)
Hopefully fixed configure problems Prepared new release 1.3.0
Finished implementing left_right drawing.
First changes for left_right drawing of the tree. Still missing proper branch_dupbox, upside_down and imagemap support.
Fix possible exploitable buffer overflow in string expansion
Fix a coredump on SGI in bsearch and remove c++ comments. Thanks to Sjoerd Mullender.
- Fix browserbug ordering y-coordinates - Speed up parsing by bypassing deltatext parse - Add logentry expansion
- Remove debug stuff before release - Fix strip_first_rev so that it works the right way around
*** empty log message ***
- Added a new version of auto_stretch. It seems to work better bit it still needs improvement (a lot) - Added TrueType support. This solves also a problem of missing libraries if libgd needs -lttf or -lfreetype.
Major code update to enable some more features. The new formatting scheme is not yet 100%. This should be close to version 1.2.0.
- Updated the docu a bit - Renamed the branch_mirror to branch_dupbox which is more appropriate - strip_untagged displays now draw dashed connector lines to indicate a jump
- Added upside-down imaging of the tree - Added extra branch-box at the bottom/top of the trunk - Added stripping of untagged revisions
- Add binary mode in file opens for DOS/Windows - Extend width of image to title width minimum - Up the version number (forgotten in version 1.1.3)
Update configure to check for getopt.h which does not exist on Solaris 8.
implemented diffs from a branch to a branchpoint. Many thanks to Ed Rapoport (erapoport {at} stratasys.com) for donating this patch.
- Dead tags (i.e. a tag without a valid revision or branch) does no longer print a message in quiet mode. - Added expansions for cvsroot and cvsmodule without trailing '/' - Remove core-files in a 'make clean'. - Fixed default config file to use entities < and >.
Fix bug in diff imagemap coordinates.
Added manual pages for executable and configuration. Minor tweaking and README update for release 1.1.1.
- Fixed path problems. Cvsroot and module will always have a trailing '/' if they are not empty so that simple files can be addressed directly from the commandline. This also eases expansions. - Implemented new features: * revisions can have custom text * background colors of boxes working * boxes can have shadow (looks nice) * imagemaps generate diff areas between revisions - Several new config parameters to support above functionality.
Basic imagemap stuff done. The expansion code needs some work to allow for conditional expansion.
Major update of the code. - Complete new method of getting the revision structure by directly reading the rcs/cvs file. This should also speed things a bit because no external program needs to be called anymore. This also means that "remote-graphs" are no longer a possible extension of the program. But, who cares. - Implemented branch-kerning to save place. The images are now much smaller in width, dependent on the settings of the exterior margins. - Fixed disjoint braches by reading the structure direct from the rcs/cvs file. The revision/branch structure is no longer determined from the revision numbers, but solely from the rcs/cvs file structure. - Fixed display of branches with no revisions attached to them. These only have a tag describing the new branch.
- Fixed the recursion problem so that branches of branches are properly placed. - Fixed a lonely '+' in an expression. - Started to make an imagemap functionality (not very functional yet)
Fixed the soring of revisions permanently. All sections of the revision numbers are important. Implemented better control over libgd with autoconf and added support for generation of png and jpeg from the configuration file (thanks to Kurt L. Sussman for a patch, although I modified it a bit).
Auto selection of the correct image-generator function.
Fix sorting bug. Thanks to Tanaka Akira for sending the patch.
Fix the vertical alignment

The cemetery's administrative personnel have been investigated numerous times by the U.S. Army in the past twenty years. No major actions were taken because, reports indicate that a plan of disciplinary action was never agreed upon. But enough finally became enough. In May 2009, an Army Criminal Investigative Command investigation announced that Deputy Cemetery Superintendent Thurman Higginbotham had lied under oath, had lied to Army investigators about accessing employee's files, and had engaged in sexual harassment. Higginbotham was placed on administrative leave.

The Army's ANC Gravesite Accountability Task Force announced on December 22, 2011, that they had discovered that 211 graves were unmarked or improperly named. After reviewing almost 260,000 graves and comparing information to 510,000 records, only 196,000 graves were validated. A count of 64,230 have been discovered to have problems ranging from minor paperwork errors, to misspelled names on gravestones, to mislaid bodies, according to their report. That's about 25% of the burial sites located in Arlington.

Pack leader Brad Anderson said he started Lucky Pack 7, a name they came up with last spring when they first formed, in order to provide his son and the kids and parents of Greenpoint a truly family-inclusive outlet.
"I'm trying to build experiences, so they can say they did something with their dad or their mom and their friends," Anderson said.
The pack, made up of 29 boys, meets at St. John's Lutheran Church at 155 Milton St.
Anderson has taken the boys skiing and snowboarding at Mountain Creek in Vernon Township, New Jersey, and plans on taking them to West Point Scout Day on November 9. There they will also catch a college football game between the Army Black Knights and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
"I look at it as a vehicle for parents to spend time with their sons in a safe, supportive environment," he said. "And it's not just the son, but the brothers, sisters and parents are all encouraged to come too."
In the community, the pack also takes part in a number of volunteer programs, such as the Pumpkin Day festival over the weekend in McCarren Park and is an official sponsor of the 26th Annual Greenpoint Halloween Party.
Michael Molina, district executive for Greater New York Councils of Boy Scouts of America, oversees roughly 2,100 kids in the Scout program in Brooklyn.
According to Molina, each neighborhood focuses on things that are important to their own part of the community.
"In an area like Greenpoint, which has such an influx of transient neighbors, the pack unites the people who are new to the community and those who have been there for a long time as well," Molina said. "The local community provides a sense of identity and it uses the best possible voice, the children."
For parents interested in getting their kids involved in the program, Molina said it is best to either contact his office directly, or visit their website (www.beascout.org) to find out what is offered in your own neighborhood.

Blind as a Brit
As Mark Twain (and other others) have noted, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics."
Blu-ray looks a zillion times better than DVD, right? Are all of those British viewers blind, or are we asking the wrong questions?
Even though early July is an entirely appropriate time for former colonists to make fun of the former empire, this dig at the UK comes entirely from a UK website. According to a survey commissioned by some outfit called MyVoucherCodes, 39% of UK residents claim they can't tell any difference between DVD and Blu-ray images. Say what?
Digging a little deeper, the numbers get even worse. Fully 81% don't own a Blu-ray player or disc, perhaps because 53% say Blu-ray discs are overpriced. Those select few who actually own a Blu-ray player or disc, on average, own only three Blu-ray discs while (adding insult to injury) 82% of them own more than 70 DVDs and 38% say they own more than 100 DVDs. Clearly, six years after its launch, Blu-ray is not registering with Brits. Can it be true? Can they really not see the difference?
Well, we'll never know the answer to that question, at least not from this survey. That's because the survey never bothered to ask those being polled (and we all know just how uncomfortable that can be) whether or not they own a high-def TV. If you're watching a standard-def TV, it's entirely understandable that DVD would look a lot like Blu-ray. Other wild cards include the screen size they are viewing, and how far away they are sitting. In other words, the 39% figure — if not busted — is suspect, at best.
If there's a lesson to be learned from this, it's that polls are only as good as their questions. Something to ponder as the colonies enter another election season.
On the other hand, the Brits insist on called elevators "lifts." I'm sorry. There is just no excuse for that.

Remember back in September of 2006 we looked at Hamilton Greene's artwork in a young readers series called Brains Benton? Here's Greene illustrating WWII stories for Blue Book magazine in 1951.
As I said in that earlier post, I find a striking similarity in Greene's style to the ink drawings of Frank Frazetta. Perhaps its the way both artists defined the figure by expertly rendering them as large masses of deep shadow...
Even when Hamilton Greene added a broader tonal range, its that beautiful understanding of how to effectively make high contrast work that provides the solid foundation of each of his illustrations.
Hamilton Greene was Blue Book's war correspondent in Korea in 1951. I have some other illustrations he did for the magazine that, unlike this series, are based on his reportorial experience.
We may revisit the artist later this year to look at those pieces.

Destructoid Write: One of the game's staff had to cut me off after this boss battle, as this was not some finite demo. It could have kept going as someone from Sony told me that we were playing a final build. Damn that guy!
But that's how well Sony Santa Monica has done with God of War: Ascension's single-player -- I wanted to keep going. Get ready, as this is going to be really good. Even from my limited half-hour taste, I can't see God of War fans being any less than absolutely thrilled with Ascension.
epic as expected
im a 360 gamer
had ps3 and games like GOW and UC,KZ where epic(best games i played prob)
but he damn pad kills my hands.
wish xbox pad was possible on ps3
This looks great will be definitely getting just after i get my hands on Metal Gear Rising Revengence first anyways.
This game is going to be frecking A!W!E!S!O!M!E!!
Oh yeah, Im calling it now Kratos might have to fight/kill or get his retribution from the "Primordial's"! If so that mean he's going to be fighting the very first beings came to existence!!!!!!!!

Heavy Online Shopping Day Can Spoil Holiday Season With Security Threats
Heavy Online Shopping Day Can Spoil Holiday Season With Security Threats
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 21, 2012) - AhnLab, a leading provider of information security products and services for consumers, today warned consumers who will be shopping online this holiday season to take precautions to protect their bank accounts and credit cards from fraud and their systems from Malware/Virus infection on Cyber Monday and throughout the holiday shopping season.
According to the National Retail Federation, nearly 52 percent of American consumers will turn to the Internet for holiday shopping this year which is a five percent increase from last year. The NRF says this is the first year the majority of holiday shopping will be done online and that consumers will spend an average of $750 each. Additionally, about 53 percent of smartphone users and 64 percent of tablet users will use mobile devices to research gifts, stores and deals, and make purchases. According to Shop.org, online holiday spending this year is forecast to be almost $96 billion.
According to David Perry, director of security education, AhnLab, while Cyber Monday might be the biggest online shopping day of the year, it also might be the biggest day for online fraud and theft.
"Who doesn't shop online? You avoid the rain and snow, the crowds, the parking and all the madness by shopping online, and if you are diligent you can almost always get a better deal online," said Perry. "The miracle of the Internet, however, is a two way street and just as it makes it easy for you to shop, buy and ship that gift, it also makes it easy for you to fall victim of fraud, theft and forgery. Play it safe this year, and protect your hard earned cash."
AhnLab offers these tips for online shoppers this holiday season:
1. Start with a clean machine: make sure that your computer is malware free before you ever buy online. The most common cybercrime involves planting a spyware agent on your system to capture your account password, your credit card number or other high risk data as you are using it. Update your Internet security program and do a full scan the night before your online shopping spree. This is the ounce of prevention that's worth a pound of cure. When your machine is clean, it eliminates the ability of a key logger from stealing your credit card number even if you are entering it into your PayPal account.
2. Shop with vendors who offer their own accounts. Companies like Amazon.com and eBay take cyber security very seriously and offer a measure of protection against online fraud. You still have to be diligent, but established brands that offer end user accounts are a safer way to go. It's easy to see a great deal on a great product on a site you have never heard of, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be careful about clicking through on links on unfamiliar sites as they can trigger malware or a virus.
3. Use PayPal (or another personal account) whenever possible to make purchases instead of using your own credit card as PayPal uses a secondary form of authentication to keep your credit card in one place instead of every store you shop. And if you must use your credit card, check activity regularly to guard against fraud. The law limits your liability to only $50, but only if you detect the fraud in the first 30 days. At no time should you shop online with a debit card. The law offers you no protection for online fraud in a debit card purchase. Keep a printed record of every transaction for every gift. You might need to exchange or return it.
4. Check your card statement every month. This would be the first place you would ever see evidence of banking fraud. This is something that happens every day, and while banks are improving at detecting fraud, online fraud still happens. Remember, the burden of detecting the crime is on your shoulders, and it is your money.

Normally, when an injury that causes
bleeding occurs, the body sends out signals that cause blood to clot at the
wound, and then the clot naturally breaks down as the wound heals. A person prone to
abnormal clotting has an imbalance between clot formation and clot breakdown.
Anticoagulant medicines prevent new clots from forming and
prevent existing clots from growing (extending) by stopping the production of
certain proteins that are needed for blood to clot. They do not break up or
dissolve existing blood clots.
Unfractionated heparin is typically only used in the hospital. It is used to prevent and
initially treat a
deep vein thrombosis.1
Unfractionated heparin (UH) is given through a vein (intravenously, or
IV) or injected under the skin.
When used for
prevention, heparin might be injected a few hours
before surgery. It might be given for a few days after surgery.
When used for treatment, heparin might be given through an IV or an injection.
After getting unfractionated heparin in the hospital, you will likely start taking other types of anticoagulants at home, such as low-molecular-weight heparin and warfarin.
Heparin can be used to treat or
prevent a deep vein thrombosis. When used for treatment, heparin prevents new
blood clots from forming and prevents existing clots from getting larger. This
allows the normal body systems to dissolve the clots that are already
Heparin reduces the chance that a blood clot will get
larger. This reduces the risk of getting a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary
Unfractionated heparin can cause serious bleeding inside your body. But you will be watched closely, because it is typically given only in the hospital. Your medical team will watch you closely for signs of bleeding or other problems. You will get regular blood tests to check the effects of the medicine.
For your safety, heparin can be turned off quickly if it is given through an IV. This method is safe for
people who might bleed or need procedures done in an emergency.
Side effects often happen at injection sites. These side effects include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant and you need to take an anticoagulant, you will take a type of heparin during your pregnancy. Heparin has not been shown to affect the fetus.
For more information, see Pregnancy and the Increased Risk of Developing Blood Clots.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Water bottle holder :: a tutorial...
Yesterday, it was back to school day for both of my girls. Slightly nervous and way too early we headed to school, their back packs full with their (new) school supplies. The sidewalks were crowded with parents and kids catching up again after not having seen each other for two months. All went well - they both ended up with their best friends in class and great teachers. I was really glad to see their happy faces when I picked them up from school and all the way back home the two of them were talking and talking enthusiastically about their first school day - little H. feeling all grown up now because she's started first grade and M. just grown up, because that's exactly what she is!
Back to school means school supplies and in M.'s case even more school supplies than we already took to school yesterday. She came home with another long list of things needed. It will be a busy year from what I see on that list! One of the things she'll be needing is a water bottle with bag, to hang the bottle from a hook at her desk. M. easy going as always just wanted to take a plastic bag. But I thought, I could do better: "Would you like me to sew you a water bottle holder?". "Are you sure, mommy? 'Cause I don't want to give you more work than you already have..." That's my sweet little girl! Always worried to ask for too much...
I didn't do any sewing for the entire summer (that is if I don't count the folding curtains I made - but that was a necessity rather than a fun project), and felt really happy about this new "assignment". Off I went to my sewing machine...
So, here's the water bottle holder for my little girl - made out of some linen (what else?!) I still had and some left over fabric from the folding curtains. Oh, and I used an old t-shirt of mine for the padding. I didn't intend on writing a tutorial at first so I didn't take any pictures of the in-between steps - something I really regretted this morning when I had another look at the finished product.
This project is rather simple, however. Therefore, I decided to just write down the steps so you can make a bottle holder of your own for school, for work or for the gym. Or you could use it as a comb and brush holder for the bathroom, I just came to realize, or as a kitchen utensils holder, pen holder, paint brushes holder...
This is what you'll need for this project:
- two pieces of fabric (outer fabric and lining)
- some cotton batting, or just a piece of an old t-shirt, the way I did
- thread, scissors, pins, sewing machine, iron...
1. On a piece of paper trace the circumference of your water bottle. Cut out. Next, measure height (H) and circumference (W) of the bottle and draw a rectangle measuring H by W on a piece of paper. Cut out.
2. Cut both pattern pieces out of each fabric, adding a 1cm seam allowance on all sides. From the outer fabric cut an additional strip of fabric measuring 10cm by 22cm, which you'll be needing for the loop. If you're planning on padding the holder, cut out an H by W piece from the t-shirt or batting, as well.
3. Optional: I top stitched the outer fabric with thread of different colors, stitching the outer fabric and padding together. I got the idea for the topstitching here and here (very nice projects - both of them!!). Make sure the two layers are pinned together really well so the bottom layer doesn't start shifting!
4. Sew the side seam of the outer fabric - do the same for the lining but leave a small opening half way (for turning the bottle holder, later). You have two tubes now.
5. Pin the circle to the bottom of the tube. To make this easier, what I usually do is fold the circle in half and mark the fold with my finger by going over it a couple of times and then fold it again, perpendicularly to the first fold. That way you obtain a circle divided in quarters. Do the same thing with the tube. These imaginary lines will help you to distribute the fabric of the circle evenly over the tubing fabric, by matching the folds on the circle with the folds on the tube. Use plenty of pins to keep everything together. Next, sew circle and tube together with your sewing machine. Do the same thing for the lining.
6. Loop: fold the strip lengthwise in half and press with an iron. Next fold each half lengthwise in half again by folding the selvages towards the first fold and press (the selvages are facing each other and the first fold now, sandwiched in the middle of the strip). If you don't get this, let me know! (There must be a better way to formulate this...) Now, sew the strip closed.
Note: you can also make a loop consisting out of two strips held together with a scratch closure, in order to hang the bottle holder from a stroller, shopping cart, ...
7. Pin both tubes together, right sides facing and sandwich the loop in between the two layers while doing so. Sew everything together.
8. Turn inside out through the side opening you left in the lining. Close the opening with a few stitches. Shape the bottle holder and press the top seam and loop flat.
Et voilà! Fini! A bottle holder or whatever-holder!
You know what? I really feel happy I wrote this down. I'm back on track!
Note: As always, let me know if something's not clear! I'm there to help!
The water bottle holder put to a different use... Just an example.
I think I might have to make some more...

It's actually the first time the kids will be needing a water bottle - the teacher wants to keep the kids from running to the bathroom for a drink of water, is what she explained to them...

I was totally drawn to the different color stitching and it reminded me of the quilt you linked to. I want to thank you for THAT as well b/c last week I lost all of my bookmarks in a hard drive crash and that quilt was one of them. And now so is your water bottle holder.
- September 6, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Your blog is new to me and I just love all your sewing projects - including this one! I was thinking, too, that you could cut the top off a disposable water bottle and use it as a liner that would be easy to clean if it were storing something drippy.

this looks great (i found you from sew mama sew)! can you explain again how to put the two pieces together (one piece is outside/batting and one is lining)? once both tubes are sewn to the circle bottoms i can't visualize how to attach them to each other!

Thanks for the tutorial!
I whipped one up today, unfortunately - my water bottle is a bit fat (most of measured wrong), but it keeps my paintbrush jar cosy. I'm going to make another one to fit the bottle.
Thank you again!
I've linked you =)

Citing the all-volunteer force`s success, a senior Defense Department official said today that a draft would diminish the quality of U.S. forces and put more of the burden of service on the nation`s poor.
I think the draft is opposed by anybody who has given it serious thought, Â" said Bill Carr, deputy undersecretary of defense for military personnel policy. New York Rep. Charles Rangel " in line to be the next chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the House " said he will introduce legislation in the next session of Congress to reinstate the draft. Carr said the draft is not cost-effective and would force the military to lower its standards for recruits. A Government Accountability Office report, he said, estimated that a draft would add $4 billion in annual costs to DoD. Because draftees usually spend the minimum time they possibly can in the military, the services would have to pump more money into training and would get less return on their training investments than they do with the all-volunteer force, he explained. One argument often put forward for reinstating the draft is that it would make the military more equitable. But Carr said such equity would lower the force`s quality. I think that it would make the military more average, and the military is considerably above average today, Â" Carr said. Two-thirds of our recruits are from the top half aptitude (range), whereas an average or equitable share would be only half. Moreover, we draw disproportionately from the middle class and the upper class. The underrepresented (in the military) are the poor. A draft would only shift the burden toward the poor. Â" Proponents for the draft say that the military cannot make the all-volunteer force work. This belies 33 years of experience, Carr said, noting that all services continue to make the recruiting goals and the recruiters continue to draw above-average, exceptionally well-qualified young people. Â" Retention is the best it has ever been, Carr said. Under the draft, two-thirds of the military were in their first two years of service. Today, two-thirds of the men and women in the force have served at least six years. As to whether there`s enough Army for the jobs around the world -- the 3rd Infantry Division headquarters, for example, will begin its third year-long rotation to Iraq next year " Carr said making the military larger has drawbacks. If you have a large number of rotations, you could stand to have a larger military, Â" Carr acknowledged. But, what goes up inevitably must come down. If we were to grow the military and find ourselves in a few years shrinking it, that is one thing military leaders fear, because of the bond we created with those who joined us. Â" If the Army temporarily needs more people, then the president can call up the reserve components, Carr said. If the idea is to make the active duty Army larger, then the military would find itself shedding people in the future, he said. The services are working to make the most of their current ceilings on uniformed members by converting manpower authorizations that don`t require a person in uniform to civilian positions, Carr said. This approach, he explained, puts more military people into uniquely military positions. Proposals to reinstate the draft certainly create debate in America, Carr noted. But the debate inevitably comes to the conclusion that America won`t have (a draft), and the military would resist it because it`s going to lower our performance, Â" he said. The all-volunteer force is successful beyond the wildest expectations of its framers. Â"

Any time we write about Donovan McNabb here at MTC, it usually results in the comments section being flooded with insults, name-calling and personal attacks.
But we're going ahead with this post anyway.
Matt Bowen of the National Football Post writes about a topic that Eagles fans have argued about in this city for years: Is McNabb a franchise quarterback?
Here is Bowen's definition of the term:
In my definition, a franchise quarterback can walk into any huddle in the NFL, pick up a football and have immediate success. By saying that, these guys aren't defined by the system they play in because you don't have to build a system around them to make them effective. They do it because they can make any throw, run any offense and succeed with any coach and with any type of offensive personnel around them.
Bowen lists five guys he considers franchise quarterbacks: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Carson Palmer and Philip Rivers.
So where does McNabb rank? In the next group of guys "on the fence" behind Ben Roethlisberger. Here's Bowen's justification:
McNabb is great because he plays in the west coast system in Philly. However, I don't see him having the success — or the ability to make all the throws — in another offensive system. His accuracy is always a concern, and I question if he could thrive in a vertical attack.
Other guys in the 'On the Fence' group: Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Matt Hasselbeck and Jay Cutler.
I would argue that McNabb belongs among the franchise quarterbacks. Before I get to the reasoning, let's take a look at the other guys on Bowen's list.
There's no question that Tom Brady and P. Manning belong in a class of their own. Any team in the league would swap QBs with the Patriots or Colts and immediately improve. That's just a fact.
I'm a big Brees guy, and he certainly has an edge over McNabb when it comes to accuracy. But Brees also throws a lot more interceptions. He and McNabb belong in the same category.
I don't think Palmer has a place among the upper tier at this point in his career. He played in four games last season and threw 20 interceptions the year before. While Bowen excludes winning from his criteria, it's tough to ignore the fact that Palmer has never won a playoff game. Maybe the 2005-06 version of Palmer would be up there, but not the 2009 version.
There are a lot of things to like about Rivers. He takes care of the football. He makes plays without a great receiver (although he has good weapons at RB and TE). And he had a monster 2008 season. But if you put him on the Eagles right now, would you confidently say they'd have a better chance to win in 2009 than they do now? I'm not so sure. And that's what Bowen's definition of a franchise quarterback would indicate.
As for his evaluation of McNabb, I think we can all agree that he'll never be among the most accurate quarterbacks in the league. Bowen argues that McNabb might struggle in a vertical attack, which I disagree with. The Eagles ask McNabb to make plays down the field every week. He completed 52 passes of 20 yards or more last season. That was the third-best mark in the league. McNabb has success stretching the field, when he has the weapons. It's the short slants and screens that give him problems.
The first part of Bowen's definition says the QB should be able to walk into any NFL huddle and have immediate success. I think you could say that about McNabb, which is why the rumors of him playing elsewhere seem to emerge every offseason. If the Birds decided to cut ties with him, several other teams would be interested.
So, based on Bowen's definition listed above, what do you think? Is McNabb a franchise quarterback?

Defending Your Rights
Military and Veterans Rights:
We owe a debt of gratitude to the veterans who have served our nation and safeguarded our freedom. In war and in peace, they have risked their lives for our country.
The physical and psychological effects of military duty often continue after the tour of duty ends. Likewise, our support for the troops does not stop when they come home. To compensate veterans for the hardships they suffered in service to our country, state and federal government agencies provide benefits to veterans. Some of the benefits available to eligible veterans in Illinois include:
The Military and Veterans Rights Bureau is dedicated to ensuring that veterans receive the benefits they have earned. This brochure outlines the services the office provides to Illinois veterans. If you have any questions about these services, call the Military and Veterans Rights Hotline toll-free at 1-800-382-3000, or TTY: 1-800-964-3013.
Services for Veterans
Toll-Free Military and Veterans Rights Hotline:
Not sure where you can find the services or benefits you need? Call the Hotline first. Military and Veterans Rights Bureau staff are available via the toll-free line to point you in the right direction.
Case Advocacy
The laws and regulations governing cases before the VA can be complex. Making sure your case receives adequate representation requires a thorough understanding of these rules and procedures. Military and Veterans Rights Bureau staff can help you understand your due process rights in filing claims for compensation or pension benefits.
Health Outreach
Military and Veterans Rights staff make regular visits to area VA hospitals to ensure that patients' needs are being met.
Education Outreach
Veterans are affected by many of the same issues that affect other consumers, seniors and persons with disabilities. For that reason, Military and Veterans Rights staff offer educational programs on these issues through the Public Advocacy Forum. For the sate and location of the next event, call the Military and Veterans Rights Hotline.
The Office of the Attorney General has developed reference materials to help you understand the benefits to which you may be entitled:

Over time, the image of raising livestock has changed as new production technologies and management systems have been introduced. However, the foundation of livestock husbandry remains the same. Livestock producers seek to provide for the needs of the animal and in return, animals provide healthy food products for our growing population.
Raising livestock is a complex endeavor. Producers must implement disease prevention programs, handle and transport animals in a low stress manner, adapt management plans in responses to weather extremes, adjust feed rations to match the animal's need, and monitor body condition scores. Many things are necessary to promote overall livestock well-being. Livestock stewardship is a daily responsibility. A responsibility that requires animal caretakers to evaluate their actions and decisions to ensure they are appropriate at all times. We should consider the animal's response when we are performing routine tasks to provide indicators of possible well-being concerns that may indicate opportunities for improvement of the operation. The key to successful livestock stewardship is setting high expectations of each other as fellow livestock producers. We need to take ownership of our responsibility to follow through with what we say we are going to do to provide quality food products.
Promoting Our Responsibility
In July, I started my new position as SDSU's Livestock Stewardship Extension Associate.This exciting opportunity will expand on current livestock Extension programs to incorporate additional information and resources for producers, consumers, and youth concerning animal well-being. I will work closely with livestock specialists and other experts to provide educational material on evaluating livestock well-being. Additionally, I desire to build relationships within the livestock industry and among veterinarians to ensure critical production challenges and potential consumer concerns are being addressed.
A main goal for the livestock stewardship program is to partner with livestock organizations on their quality assurance programs and promote South Dakota producer participation in these programs. Quality assurance programs are a great foundation for responsible livestock production and show consumers our commitment to animal care.
Another area of focus is youth. The basics of animal well-being should be incorporated into all youth animal projects. A Youth Pork Quality Assurance program is already being offered through the support of the Pork Check Off. To ensure the future integrity of our food supply, it is imperative to provide similar programs for the other species within youth programs.
South Dakota producers play an integral role in the United States' food supply. As such, it is important to demonstrate a commitment to livestock stewardship through our daily actions, voluntary participation in quality assurance programs, and education of future livestock producers and consumers.

DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa anti-abortion organization says it has submitted to the state petitions with more than 20,000 signatures, asking for a ban on a remote control method of distributing abortion pills.
Iowa Right to Life's petitions are aimed at a long-distance video system used by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The system lets a doctor in Des Moines deliver pills to patients in remote clinics around Iowa.
Mark Bowden is executive director of the Iowa Board of Medicine, and he said Tuesday that the board will review the petitions. Bowden says that If the group's request is denied, the board has to state the reason or reasons.

2007-01-03 / Columnists
Pets, Pets, Pets
There are so many facets of shelter rescue that I love. Sometimes I'm merely the "accidental tourist". While at a Town shelter for a particular dog or cat, I may stumble on another one, often a purebred dog, which can be placed in the best of hands once I contact a dedicated network of guardians. Then I just sit back and watch the magic happen.
Last Wednesday I accompanied my pal, Doris Klem, to a distant Town shelter to retrieve a Last Hope foster who had escaped from his "tentative" owners. (Actually it was a Lets Make a Deal trip. At times you need a co-pilot when you transport a dog. Since this goofy guy likes to slobber the driver and rear view mirror, I promised to go with Doris, if she'd ride with me the next day when I took our exuberant foster German Shepherd to her trainer.)
The Last Hope dog was a fortunate fugitive. Turns out his trial owners weren't searching. Thankfully, the shelter recognized their new inmate. He had spent 6 months with them before Last Hope adopted him, and happened to get loose again in the same Town. The staff called to say they thought Mr. Goofy was back. We went to bail him out.
While there, I noticed Cupcake, a female Bullmastiff lying on a rug. The signs on her cage said that she came in 12/15 as a stray with a fractured pelvis. She was most likely hit by a car. Despite the ingrained "pound" misconception, most Town shelters are evolving from holding tanks to havens. Years ago an injured dog, especially a giant one, would not be kept long. In contrast, while in the Town's custody, Cupcake had x-rays and pain meds. The staff was doing all they could to make her comfortable.
I asked about her xrays, then for permission to take a few photos and call breed rescue. The shelter was extremely accommodating. In the past, and still at times, the mention of "purebred rescue" meets with varied reception at municipal shelters.
Some government-run shelters think the public should have first choice of all purebreds, but others, like me, feel that the public has already failed these impounded purebreds at least once. We believe the next placement, when possible, should be with the intervention of those experts who cherish the breed and will do all they can to see that the dog never surfaces in a shelter again.
Soon as I got home, I called a Bullmastiff's angel, Janell Granier, is director of programs at the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals by day. She's also a foster Mom for many orphan kittens and a volunteer for American Bullmastiff Association (ABA) Rescueclubs. akc.org/aba/rescue/res1.htm. Janell has performed miracles for Bullmastiffs pulled from other LI Town shelters, including Xander who now lives happily ever after in Ohio. I emailed her the photos
to verify Cupcake's breed. Digitals are a
Godsend to rescue work.
By the next day, Janell had made arrangements
with the Town shelter to
pick up Cupcake. On Friday,
using one of her precious
vacation days and no co-pilot, Janell drove mucho miles from Manhattan to east- ern Suffolk to get Cupcake, and then to New Jersey to bring the appreciative, smooching Bullie to Andrea Kelly, her new foster Mom.
Cupcake, estimated only to be about 2, has been delivered to the best of hands. She has the support of Janell, Andrea and all of ABA Rescue. Cupcake is now recuperating in a home; on supplements to strengthen her bones; and has an appointment the day after New Year's to see their favorite orthopedic specialist. Once she's better, she'll go to a forever home. I can't think of a happier way to usher in the new rescue year.
Switching breeds-Yours truly, the accidental tourist, is also a jinx. Told someone Wednesday that I rarely see Weimaraners in the shelter and the next day the Wegman floodgates opened. Two owner surrenders showed up. That's why this week's adoption list is a combo of Islip and Babylon Town Shelter.
At Islip Town Shelter (224-5660) Denver Ave. Bay Shore: "Ashley" (#6357) - sweetheart 4 yr. Weimaraner- owner had no time for her; "Natasha" (#6319- shown here), a 1 yr. small Shepherd mixgets along with kids, dogs, cats- looking for a happier New Year=t; male small Schnauzer/Terrier (#6420) - so cute but frightened; "Sheba" (#6443) - 5 yr. German Shepherd - likes kids and other dogs.
At Babylon Town Shelter (643- 9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Riley" in Cage 5 (shown here) - a handsome 3 yr. Weimaraner. His owner was moving into an apartment; a small male Pointer in Cage 43; "Bullet"- the red Siberian Husky in Cage 7; an older female purebred mini-Schnauzer in Cage 75 found in N. Babylon; "Fanny" the playful Husky mix in Cage 93. Contacted Weimaraner Rescue about "Ashley" in Islip before I knew "Riley" was also at Babylon. Don't be upset with me, but my hope is that breed rescue has performed their magic for both by the time this is published.

Special Section: E-Government
: A Recipe for
E-Government Development
Frederick is a graduate student in the Urban and Regional

Progressive Policy Two Cups
The Internet, importantly the way in which the Internet allows society access to a plethora of information, is only as good as the users connection to it. With 43% of Michigan residents using the Internet daily, and 89% of residents having access at home (compared to the national average of 50.5%), the types of connections these users have is important. In a recent survey, over 900 Michigan Internet users were asked what type of access they have at home. A majority of users (59.8%) indicated they have a dial-up, narrowband connection. Only 1.4% has no available connection at their residence (meaning that there is no access to a narrow- or broadband network), leaving 38.8% having some form of broadband connection (either DSL, cable, ISDN or any combination thereof) (See Figure 1.) These broadband connections give residents high-speed access to government information, educational tools and other forms of media with a faster Internet connection.

The survey asked several questions to capture the

Figure 3: State of
the State Survey: All
The State Broadband Index, produced by TechNet and Analysys Consulting, examines and ranks states according to their broadband policies in three areas: deployment, supply-side and demand-side. TechNet compiled a list of best practices for states to follow when implementing broadband policy. The following is a condensed version of that list:
Deployment Policies
· States should adopt policies that standardize and expedite rights-of-way permitting
· States should limit the fees imposed for rights-of-way access
Supply-Side Policies:
· States should adopt a broadband strategy and formal plan
· States should assess their broadband status through a map or catalog of existing infrastructure
· States should allow municipalities to provide wholesale services with their own broadband networks
Demand-Side Policies:
· States should adopt initiatives that provide incentives for public-sector and private-sector users to access broadband networks
· States should actively encourage broadband usage by citizens through e-government initiatives
· States should encourage government usage of broadband applications
establishing these best practice benchmarks, TechNet then
ranked each states policy for each category.
Statewide Public User Aggregation & Request for Proposals (RFP)
· Aggregate collective purchasing demand of the state, higher education users, K-12 users, local government users and any other public partners and ask (through an RFP) private-sector bidders interested in serving the state to provide advanced telecommunication services to each.
· Require by contract that providers build and maintain a high-speed backbone infrastructure that extends to most regions of the state to serve these customers.
· Require by contract that winning vendor resell excess network capacity on a non-discriminatory wholesale basis to increase competition and encourage investment in regions that might not otherwise attract new service providers.
Tax and Permitting Fairness
· Establish level regulatory playing field for all telecommunications and information carriers.
· Enact one-stop right-of-way permitting system to create common rules for all carriers.
· Establish one common tax and fee system to replace differing systems in place around the state today.
Access to Information
· Enact laws and/or rules requiring all telecommunications and information carriers to provide specific network location and capability information.
· Develop and enforce quality-of-service standards so that businesses and other purchasers of advanced telecommunication services are able to plan and not have business operations disrupted because of continual installation delays.
· Link reporting to the approval of right-of-way permits.
Community Assistance
· Provide local community planning grants so that local officials can develop their own last-mile solutions for their communities.
· Encourage communities to link or leverage their local strategies to the statewide backbone initiative.
· Assistance should not be given to communities that have established barriers to new telecommunications investment.
examining the best practices developed by TechNet and the
recommendations of the LinkMichigan initiative, the strong
correlation between the two helps one understand how Michigan
ranks highest among all other states in implementing aggressive
policies toward broadband deployment.
Legislation 3 Tablespoons
the LinkMichigan initiative a package of legislation, entitled
the Michigan HI Speed Internet Package
(2002), was enacted that includes three separate bills: the
first bill, known as the Metropolitan Extension
Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight (METRO) Act, sets
common fees and a maximum permit delay for municipalities and
also creates the METRO Authority to oversee the new system. The
second bill creates the Michigan Broadband Development Authority
to control a fund that grants incentives for broadband
deployment, and the third bill increases an incentive for
deployment of broadband services that gives a property tax
credit to offset rights-of-way fees. These bills demonstrate

survey prepared for Cyber-state.org, a nonprofit, non-partisan
advocate for information technology in
first question asked residents to rank local government services
they would be interested in being able to access via the
Internet, on a scale from one to five, with five being very
interested. These services included reading city policies and
regulations, checking on construction and development including
permit and inspection status, accessing property tax data and
assessments, paying local fees or fines, filing complaints,
applying for permits and licenses, and emailing local officials.
Respondents answering with a four or five ranged from 49% to 73%
for each of the aforementioned government services.
second significant question listed government sectors and
whether respondents wanted the government to put more effort
into offering more services online for each of the sectors.
Respondents could answer with little effort, moderate
effort or great effort. The government sectors included
education, economy, health care, human services, natural
resources, tourism, homeland security and transportation. With
the exception of natural resources and transportation, receiving
44% and 41% respectively, every government sector received more
than 50% of respondents saying that the
government should put great effort into improving the online
services of these sectors.
The final significant question related to e-government asked residents if they would make greater use of government services online if the services were available from a single site, one that linked local, state and federal information from a single point of access. More than two-thirds (69%) of the respondents answered yes, they would be more likely to utilize these services if available from a single site. Ease of use is an important characteristic when residents decide to conduct government business online.

Discover the punishing new sport of obstacle racing on the next episode of "60 Minutes Sports," premiering Wednesday, March 6, on SHOWTIME
Anderson Cooper profiles world-record-holding big wave surfer Garrett McNamara and Byron Pitts goes all out in a race designed to inflict pain on its participants
There are several ways to die when you are riding a wave the size of a small office building. Garrett McNamara is familiar with them all, and he's managed to not only stay alive riding hundreds of huge waves, but also holds the big-wave world record at 78 feet. The idea of an obstacle race isn't winning or losing, it's enduring as much pain and discomfort as the masochistic operators of the events can dish out, earning racers the right to brag of the ordeal on social media.
The next edition of "60 Minutes Sports," premiering Wednesday, March 6, at 9 p.m. on SHOWTIME, captures the excitement, fear, pain and triumph as both of these extreme sports become more popular.
Anderson Cooper interviews McNamara at his home on the famous north shore of Oahu in Hawaii and then ventures nearly 8,000 miles away to the ancient fishing village of Nazare, Portugal, to meet McNamara in the Atlantic waters where he broke the world record in 2011 - and may have bested that 78-foot wave just a few weeks ago. It's two awesome, unprecedented rides viewers will see up-close as they've never been seen before anywhere else. In those same waters, McNamara takes cooper out on a jet-ski to experience the huge swells caused by a massive underwater canyon that many believe to be the biggest waves on Earth.
As Byron Pitts finds out, if the mud, fire and the electric wires don't faze you, the ice water you have to swim though will - just temporarily - as you slog through an obstacle course that even the meanest Marine Corps drill instructor would blanch at. So why did 1.5 million people pay up to $200 last year to go through such an ordeal? Pitts talks to people who did and will again, many of them driven by the urge to "humble-brag" by posting race pictures of themselves on social media.

Busti Avenue Demos Underway | News
BUFFALO, NY - Demolition always seems to be a tricky subject here in Western New York.
But Saturday morning, the heavy equipment was brought out near the Peace Bridge and began work on several abandoned homes on Busti Avenue.
Many community members have been trying to protect the homes, but the Public Bridge Authority says it now has the court paperwork to take them down.
Demolition of the homes has been an issue locked up in the courts for years. The project started in June 2012, but was suspended because of court matters.
According to a federal court ruling issued Friday, a judge found that the PBA did address all environmental concerns regarding demolition and that preservationists failed to show that the homes should stay.
And with this, a restraining order against the PBA was lifted allowing seven homes to be demolished.
The Campaign for Greater Buffalo fought against the demolition of the homes saying they were historic.
The PBA wasted no time and resumed demolition of the homes Saturday morning.
"It's been sitting here in a pretty nasty state with fences up so we want to get the properties down and next week we'll remove all the debris and have it set up so it looks a little better," said Matt Davison, director of communications for the Public Bridge Authority.
The PBA has owned the homes since the 1990s.
Many on the Westside claim that the PBA let the homes become breeding grounds for crime, so they could demolish them and expand the Peace Bridge plaza.
"Why are they derelict? They're derelict because they didn't take care of them, they're derelict because the city didn't care to tell them to take care of them," said Daniel Sack, vice president for the campaign.
Community groups don't want the plaza expanded, believing it would lead to more air problems.
The PBA says that it plans to add green space, like trees and grass where the blighted homes are.
"It's a tough one to have to knock down homes, but we have folks on both sides of the issue, they were dilapidated homes, we bought them, so this is the board policy that we're moving forward with," said Davison.
The green space additions are expected in the spring.
"Unfortunately the Campaign for Greater Buffalo and the citizens of Buffalo lost a truly wonderful asset, these houses are historic, they date from the 19th Century," said Sack.
No plan to actually expand the plaza has been presented by the Bridge Authority at this point.
