GRADE F means Minnesota includes none or less than 20% of the recommended content and should significantly revise its standards.
Minnesota is finalizing a revision of its social studies standards, but the most recent available document (revised April 29 and sent to the commissioner for approval in June 2011) is available for review. Minnesota includes learning about the civil rights movement beginning in sixth grade. Most of the content, however, falls into the high school U.S. history course.
Elementary and Middle School
Grade 6: Students learn about the civil rights movement in their U.S. history/Minnesota history class: "Describe the post-World War II social movements including the civil rights movement, the American Indian Movement, and the women's movement; explain how they affected Minnesota's political and cultural landscape."
High School
Grade 9 (U.S. History): In Minnesota, the civil rights movement falls under the 10th U.S. history substrand: Post-World War II, United States 1945-1989. Multiple standards have benchmarks that deal with the civil rights movement: Students should "analyze the origins of the various civil rights movements (African American, Native American, Women, Latino American and counter culture, etc.) and how they manifested themselves during this time." They should also "analyze the effectiveness of various groups in securing civil rights."
New Standards, Less Content
These new standards are much less detailed than the state's 2004 standards (still in effect until 2013). Those social studies standards were highly rated by the Fordham Institute for their content and instructional focus. They also contained considerably more detail about what students should know about the civil rights movement. Several of those 2004 U.S. history benchmarks (from the post-war United States section) reference the civil rights movement directly and are supported by examples of people, places and events students should know. These are reproduced below:
|Grades K-3: Student will know individuals and groups associated with key turning points in U.S. history.
|George Washington and the American Revolution; Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War; Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery; Susan B. Anthony and the women's suffrage movement; Rosa Parks and the civil rights movement; military veterans and service to country.
|Grades 4-8: Students will explain the changing patterns of society, expanded educational and economic opportunities for military veterans, women and minorities.
|Thurgood Marshall, Little Rock school integration, urbanization of American Indians, Caesar Chavez; the New Frontier, the NAACP, the Great Society, United Farm Workers' Movement, the women's and civil rights movements.
|Grades 4-8: Students will explain how Minnesota has both affected and been affected by the events, people and changes in the nation and the world.
|Cold War, civil rights movement, women's movement, American Indian Movement, Coya G. Knutson, Mayo Clinic, Warren Burger, Harry A. Blackmun, Eugene McCarthy, Hubert H. Humphrey, Walter Mondale, other Minnesota figures.
|Grade 9: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the domestic policies and civil rights issues of the Truman and Eisenhower administrations.
|Fair Deal; McCarthyism; modern republicanism; military-industrial complex, Brown v. Board of Education; Montgomery Bus Boycott; Martin Luther King Jr. and nonviolence; Little Rock
|Grade 9: Students will analyze provisions of Kennedy's New Frontier and Johnson's Great Society.
|Space race, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, War on Poverty, Immigration Reform Act of 1965
|Grade 9: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the "rights revolution" including the civil rights movement, women's rights movements, expansion of civil liberties and environmental and consumer protection.
|Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP, sit-ins, Freedom Rides, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Fannie Lou Hamer, Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, race riots (Detroit, Los Angeles, Washington, Minneapolis, Minn.), Ralph Nader, Gideon v. Wainwright, Miranda v. Arizona, Rachel Carson, Silent Spring; Earth Day, 4/22/70; Clean Air Act; American Indian Movement; Equal Rights Amendment; Phyllis Schlafley; Title VII, Title IX, Equal Credit Act; Affirmative Action; Bakke decision.
According to the Minnesota Department of Education, the examples provided are not required content but only suggested topics.
Minnesota requires students to learn about the civil rights movement but does not specify any required details. The state fails to set high expectations for students and provide direction to teachers. Minnesota's existing standards with its sets of unrelated examples (Malcolm X, the Clean Air Act and Phyllis Schlafly appear in one list without explanation of their relation to one another) lacks clarity.
The state would do better to identify a set of core personalities, events and concepts and organizing those into a coherent group of standards rather than trying to group all post- World War II movements into a hodgepodge of suggested knowledge. When it reorganizes these standards, the state would serve its students better by including elements of opposition to avoid conveying the message that the movement was largely inevitable. Omitting the Ku Klux Klan, racism and disenfranchisement tactics, Jim Crow laws and other obstacles seriously distorts the nature of the struggle.

Please help - high oil consumption
I wonder if anyone can help diagnose my high(?) oil consumption.
My bike is a 2004 950 with 90,000 km (about 56,000 miles).
During it's early life, oil consumption was acceptable - I mean, it needed topping up with <1 litre between 6-7000 km oil changes. So about 2 litres per 14,000 km (8700 mile) season. (0.14 litres/1000 km).
Over time the oil consumption became worse: 4 litres over 12,000 km, so 1 litre/3000 km (0.34 litres/1000 km).
At 74,000 km, I had to strip the engine in order to replace the selector drum. While the engine was apart I replaced the (serviceable) piston rings and honed the bores lightly. After honing the ring end-gaps were all around <0.32 mm (limit 0.5 mm). I did not have the correct tools to measure the bore and piston accurately.
I also changed the oil seal in the ignition casing (the balancer shaft oil seal).
I ran-in on semi-synthetic oil for over 1500 km on twisty roads not being too gentle - using plenty of acceleration and engine breaking - but oil consumption remains high.
16,000 km after the rebuild, I measured compression and found 16.5 BAR (240 PSI). And carried out a leak-down test and found around 30% leakage, front and rear.
KTM state:
0.3 - 0.6 litres/1000 km: normal.
>1.0 litres/1000 km: there MUST be a serious technical defect!
My bike is ridden hard, but 0.34 litres/1000 km does seem a bit steep! Is it, despite what KTM say?
Looking at the leak-down and compression test results, could it be that the bore/piston/rings are at fault, or should I be look for another reason for the oil loss?
Any info will be gratefully received.
Thank you.
Leak-down readings
Do you have oil in your front carb? The balance shaft seal on the left side if the bike is a known culprit.
Yes, I did that - see 6th paragraph in my first post.
Compression seems ok. Maybe you need some more time with non syn oil to get the oil rings to take a set.
How are the valve seals, any smoke?
You are on the lower end of acceptable oil use. KTM might be using a light tension oil control ring???
I replaced the valve-stem oil seals when I rebuilt the engine.
Sometimes I'm told there's a puff of smoke on overrun. But could that be enough to burn so much oil?
In my opinion (I am no expert) you should be looking at valve guides and seats.
The valve guides were checked and were OK when I rebuilt the engine.
If you no longer have an oily front carb, you know the valves are good, and she is not leaving a puddle when stopped, you are kind of down to cylinder walls and ring seating in my mind. I know that Pyndon had a delamination of nicacil in a cylinder on his bike that he wrote about in his My KTM 950 Story thread. That's all I can think of. You might PM Pyndon to see if he has any other thoughts.
The breather pipe from the balancer shaft, I have lead into a catch-bottle so that I can monitor oil exhaled. There is nothing to speak of in the bottle.
Then you are down to ring seating, right? Maybe your symptoms relate to the honing. Dunno. Here's a related discussion: http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/294800-honing-nikasil/
My symptoms were present before the new rings and honing - it's why I installed new rings and honed.
I can't say that my oil consumption is down to ring seating - it's why I'm posting. To me it looks not, as the leak-down test looks normal.
There may be a cause that is pretty unique to this engine - like the balancer shaft seal, for example.
Thanks for the link.
MY humble opinion,, based on my background...
You can't hone Nicasil liners with any tools available to mere mortals.. Usually it ruins the cylinder...
Break in oil should be standard oil, no synthetics at all, preferably a high zinc sulfur break in oil if new cams are involved...
I did the same thing with a motor I built 2 years ago. Started on semi synthetic, and the rings would not seat. I ran straight 30 weight for about 3 days then put the semi back in and voila,, no more oil consumption. (Iron cylinder walls though.. ) But the old Nic barrels on porsches used to wear out two or three sets of pistons and rings before they needed any attention..
Check the vacuum level in the crank case.. It should be close to neutral,, very light suction.
You did valve seals, but how were the guides? Intake valve guides can allow a lot of oil even with a new seal if they are loose.
Just thoughts on it not necessarily answers.. :)
No worries
A hard ridden bike with 90.000 km's on the clock that still only uses 0.3 l per 1000 kms is nothing to worry about at all. Good, actually.
Especially as KTM states that it is normal.
Are you using 10W-50 oil like the manual says? If you only use 40 oil, change to 50 which is thicker and will probably reduce oil consumption.
If it were me I would try running some non syn. I have access to break in oil, you might be able to find some. The zinc and phos do help the rings seat(this is waht the guys at total seal rings have told me). It sounds like your top rings are seated maybe the dino oil will help the oil rings. Won't hurt to try.

Wednesday March 26 an article by Mac VerStandig was printed in the Arts Etc. section. In it he criticized Michael Moore for his political grandstanding on Oscar night. In case you?re unfamiliar, Michael Moore used his 45 seconds of stage time to criticize Bush. Moore called him a ?fictional? president and said ?Shame on you Mr. Bush!? Moore was booed and cheered in about equal measure by the audience as he shambled off stage.
Mr. VerStandig feels that the Academy Awards are not the forum for political speech. He makes the specious point that the First Amendment guarantees you freedom of speech, but not the guarantee of an audience.
Excuse me? First of all, that doesn?t make any sense. Second of all, when did political speech during an award ceremony become unconstitutional?
Let?s put this into perspective.
The Academy Awards are the yearly ceremony honoring the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures. This is a self-congratulatory, masturbatory event where the best and brightest of Hollywood come to congratulate themselves and make bitchy comments about peoples outfits. Really, Oscars are no more important than an Employee of the Month award at your local mechanic.
No one, absolutely no one, can argue that the Oscars mean anything. They are just awards. Simply put, about one thousand people have participated in a film industry version of ?Are You Hot?? This is meaningless fluff, done primarily to sell more movie tickets.
The Oscars don?t even have a distinguished history of political neutrality. Famously Marlon Brando refused to accept his Academy Award for Best Actor in ?The Godfather.? Brando sent a woman to decry the portrayal of Native Americans in American cinema in his place. Granted, it turned out the woman wasn?t Native American but that is not the point. The Oscars are not hallowed ground. There are plenty of famous stories of actors being bombed out of their minds during their acceptance speech. Being high on stage isn?t a political statement but it certainly lowers the Oscars? reputation.
The second Michael Moore took the stage, you knew he was going to say something critical of Bush. He takes every opportunity he has to sound off on the current administration, and you couldn?t have bet me any money that he wouldn?t speak out. It?s Michael Moore?s prerogative and right to use the largest forum he?s got to make his views known.
The fact is in a time of war there is almost no place that is not appropriate for political speech. It is not the role of celebrities to tow the line and act meekly. You don?t have to listen to celebrities, but they don?t need to be quiet.
I caught the end of the Miss USA pageant on NBC the other night. The runner-up, Miss Texas, was asked whether or not celebrities had any business criticizing the war. She said they did not, and that they should stand behind the President and support our troops.
Hearing this mindless, terrifying acquiescence coming out of the stunningly white mouth of a beauty queen chilled me to the bone. I don?t expect anyone in a beauty pageant to have deep political convictions. Yet, to blindly follow our leaders and tell fellow celebrities to shut up is simply un-American.
You don?t have to listen to celebrities. You don?t have to listen to me. But you should listen to anyone who tells you that no discussion is better than an open forum. More than those that cry for dissent, those that call for mindless obedience need to be watched.
As a caveat, I was the film critic for the Badger Herald for two years. I love the movies. I?m seeing ?Talk to Her? by Pedro Almovadar tonight, which won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. My criticism of the Academy Awards goes only into the perspective you need to give them. They are fine trivia questions, and generally a fairly good guide to movies. Just remember, for every ?Pulp Fiction? that wins awards, there is a ?Titanic? lurking about. The best movies are rarely up for awards, and the best talents rarely acknowledged.
To make the statement that the Academy Awards are not the place for political expression pays undue deference to what is essentially an enormous PR stunt.
Who cares if a celebrity spouts off on Oscar night? Isn?t that a lot more entertaining than listening to a litany of lawyers and thanks to their agents and hairstylists? I?d take a night of off-the-cuff remarks and political grandstanding over stultifying speeches and boring platitudes any time.

Lapara Medical wins UTSA $100,000 Student Technology Venture Competition
(Dec. 5, 2012) -- UTSA business and engineering students who developed and marketed a prototype laparoscopic device to cool a person's kidney before surgery won first place Dec. 1 in the $100,000 Student Technology Venture Competition at the UTSA Main Campus.
Organized by the UTSA Center for Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship (CITE), the high-tech business-planning competition offers UTSA engineering and business students the chance to test their entrepreneurial skills by launching new companies. They also receive coaching from the Venture Mentor Network organized by the Harvard Business Club of San Antonio.
This semester's winning team, Lapara Medical includes undergraduate engineering majors Richard Canty, Adam Daufen, Luis Davila and Justin Ernest and undergraduate business majors Shelbi Chrislip, Duncan Hughes and Warren Norket.
"Winning made all our hard work worthwhile," said Warren Norket, senior business management major and representative of the winning team. "We learned so much through our mentor, Mr. Ruben Zamorano, and all the key advisors he introduced us to, as well as Dr. Anita Leffel, who pushed us to do our very best. We all worked well together and everyone did their part."
UTSA start-up teams Jack Rabbit and Western Immersion Engineeringtook second and third place in the competition, respectively. Jack Rabbit is a remote control car jack that allows one person to move an immobilized automobile from one end of a mechanic shop to another. Western Immersion Engineering's product is the RowdySim 240, a motion gaming chair that can be used with flight, racing and roller coaster computer simulator games.
"I feel very lucky to have been one of the teams that placed," said Brooke Foret, senior business management major and representative of team Jack Rabbit. "We have worked very hard all semester on this, and it is nice to see our hard work has paid off. We really believe in our product, and I'm so glad to see that other people do as well."
"At the beginning of the semester, we seemed to be the underdog, but we pulled everything together and showed everyone that we had an awesome team and a great product," said Breanna Oliver, senior psychology and business management major and representative of Western Immersion Engineering. "Hands down, this was the best experience of my college career."
The three winning teams will split more than $100,000 in cash and business-related services and soon will be taking the next steps toward commercializing their technologies.
Additional competitors developed technologies that include a transmission for a gear bicycle that will display distance, fat and calorie burn rate much like one sees on a stationary bicycle in the gym; a specialized location tracking system that offers rescuers a way of finding trapped miners in the fastest and most efficient manner; and a mechanism that will aid golfers in predicting distance and best angle to a hole by combining live weather with wind speed and direction.
Held semi-annually, the $100,000 tech competition at UTSA offers the largest award of all undergraduate business planning competitions in the nation. Established in 2007, this competition offers UTSA's undergraduate students the opportunity to build a technology, patent it, create a business and launch it in a rigorous incubator program.
The UTSA $100,000 Student Technology Venture Competition is sponsored by the Texas Research and Technology Foundation, Cox | Smith, the Harvard Business School Club of San Antonio, Rackspace Hosting, the San Antonio Technology Center, Startech, the UTSA College of Business and the UTSA College of Engineering.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Target Corp. has been granted $2.27 million more in state tax credits because it added 199 jobs and invested $50.6 million more than planned in its Cedar Falls food distribution center.
The Iowa Department of Economic Development Board approved the request Friday from Minneapolis-based Target, which received incentives under the High Quality Job Creation program in July 2007.
Target's perishable foods distribution center in Cedar Falls was completed on Oct. 7, 2009. It employs over 250, and supplies the company's stores in Iowa and nearby areas of the Midwest.
Target has experienced stronger than expected growth in its grocery segment throughout the region, the company said in a letter to the state, and far exceeded the state grant's job requirement of 51 and its investment requirement of $76.2 million. The company had until July 30 to create the jobs and investment.
The food distribution center, one of two Target distribution centers in Cedar Falls, accounts for 250 jobs and $126.7 million in investment, the company said.
The success of the facility "is due in no small part to the strong relationship that Target has developed over the years with the IDEA," Jennifer Romans, Target manager of state income tax controversy and planning in a letter to the state.
Target calculated the additional tax incentives it requested by applying the same 4.5 percent factor to its $126.78 million project investment as it was granted on its original grant based on $76.2 million of investment.
Iowa Economic Development Authority spokeswoman Tina Hoffman said that retroactively requesting larger tax incentives when a project exceeds expectations is not unusual.
With tax credits, "it's just an estimate because you're doing these things before the project gets started," Hoffman said.
The increased credit will allow Target to continue investing through the expansion of the Cedar Falls warehouse and construction of its stores in the state, Target's Romans said.

This question may seem absurd – personally speaking, I have a really hard time calling ANY sex act overrated. It's sex after all.
For me, asking which sex act is the most overrated is like asking which flavour of Doritos is overrated – screw that, give me one bag of each so I can go home and eat them all silently in the dark. What I'm trying to say is that I'm down for WHATEVER. Lay it on me. I can handle it.
Yes, that's right, I'm not a picky guy. If you've lost self-control or gone completely crazy for a few minutes and have decided to have sex with me for some reason, I'm not going to turn you away….and I'm not going to be stuck up about how you want to get down to business..
…Well unless you want to give me a handjob, but that's obvious, because everyone hates handjobs. Handjobs are like the Godfather III of sex acts – boring, tedious, unanimously the crappiest of the bunch. I'm already predicting a runaway winner in this poll. Prove me wrong!
If I had to pick another overrated sex act, I would definitely choose blowjobs. Yes, that is correct, you heard me right, I think blowjobs are really overrated, so sue me. Maybe that makes me some kind of freak. Maybe I'm some kind of sexless jerk. I just don't like them that much. They're FINE. As long as we're moving on to something else after. If handjobs are like Godfather 3, then blowjobs are like the first Star Wars movie. I really like the first Star Wars movie. If you put it on TV, I will certainly watch it and have a fantastic time doing so. But let's move on to Empire Strikes back, OK?
I guess my opinion boils down to this: every sex act is pretty awesome in its own special way. (except, as previously stated, handjobs. Who the hell invented handjobs anyways?)
Which sex act do you think is the most overrated?
To help you make your decision, please refer to these hot sex pictures of overrated sex acts:

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 21, 2012
Dell SonicWALL today released the findings of a survey about the anticipated impact to business as a result of Cyber Monday, the largest online shopping day of the year. The survey found that most employees are not able to recognize online threats against the corporate network and companies are most concerned that online shopping could open the network to potential new threat vectors. The survey also revealed that 63 percent of businesses expect a greater decrease in productivity due to Cyber Monday compared with last year. Dell SonicWALL solutions help companies drive employee productivity and network efficiency by eliminating the non-business-critical use of bandwidth and applications and by protecting the corporate network against threats.
As people return to work on Nov. 26 after the long Thanksgiving weekend and boot up their computers to take advantage of special offers from retailers, they'll be taking part in a holiday tradition: Cyber Monday. Peak hours, when Internet bandwidth will be most impacted by online shopping, will occur in the afternoon. This year, social media is expected to add to the impact on corporate networks as shoppers visit Facebook and other social media outlets for information about Cyber Monday sales.
The survey found 59 percent of businesses were more concerned about loss of employee productivity from online shopping on Cyber Monday than they were worried about potential network threats. Companies ranging in size from 500-999 employees anticipate the greatest impact on productivity, at 83 percent. Overall, 55 percent of businesses of all sizes predict their employees will spend two to four hours a week shopping online during the holiday buying season.
Business can protect itself from cyber threats and assure productivity through next-generation firewalls that provide advanced features such as content filtering and application intelligence and control. This allows companies to determine what applications or websites employees can access on the corporate network.
Dell SonicWALL Next-Generation Firewalls with integrated URL/web filtering help organizations enforce their protection policies, drive productivity and block unproductive, inappropriate and illegal web content. This feature can keep businesses productive even while employees shop online, as it protects the corporate network from malicious attacks from phishing, cyber scams and threats from fraudulent emails, websites and malware. Application intelligence and control functionality also helps protect the corporate network from the internal harm employees render when they use bandwidth to shop online, share gift lists, watch videos and send holiday greetings.
In addition, the Dell SonicWALL email security platform deployed either as a service on the firewall or through a dedicated solution stops phishing and zombie attacks, spam, and viruses with more than 99 percent effectiveness. It uses multiple established, patented techniques including reputation checks that verify not only a message's sender IP reputation, but also the reputation of its content, structure, links, images, and attachments.
Patrick Sweeney, Executive Director, Product Management, Dell SonicWALL: "Cyber Monday raises productivity issues and potentially opens corporate networks to possible threats. Our survey results show that businesses are more concerned with productivity and bandwidth issues than malicious attacks, but Dell SonicWALL has solutions to address risks and keep networks secure. In conjunction with our award-winning next-generation firewalls, the Dell SonicWALL Email Security solution is ideal for the 68 percent of businesses who fear their employees can't correctly identify a spear phishing attack or other network threats."
With solutions for security, systems management, business intelligence and application management software, Dell companies like KACE, SecureWorks, SonicWALL and Quest Software assist their customers in protecting their corporate networks, as well as their employees' and clients' personal information during the holidays and all year long:

Lebanese fighters take positions as they pose for photographers in the Syrian border town of Zeita, 5 km from the Lebanese northeastern village of al-Qasr, Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013. (The Daily Star/Rakan al-Fakih)
DAMASCUS: Lebanon and Jordan are playing with fire by allowing jihadists and weapons to pass across their borders into Syria, the Syrian government daily Al-Thawra warned on Sunday.
"The fire of terrorism will consume not only Syria, but could spread to Lebanon and Jordan, particularly if these two countries intervene in the situation in Syria, ignoring the flow of armed men and weapons from their territory, or by participating directly in the conspiracy against Syria," the newspaper said.
"Jordan has opened its borders in recent days (allowing) passage of jihadists... whereas before it was satisfied with just facilitating the movement of elements trained on its territory by US intelligence," it added.
"As for Lebanon, it is closing its eyes to the trafficking of weapons to Syria, led by elements that are not part of the government."
On Friday, a security source in Damascus criticised Jordan, saying the kingdom has "opened its borders and is allowing to cross over (into Syria) jihadists and Croatian weapons bought by Saudi Arabia."
"This can only intensify the conflict and cause more casualties," the source told AFP in Beirut on condition of anonymity.
"There's been a change of attitude because up until now, Jordan had imposed strict controls on its border to prevent the passage of terrorists and weapons," said the source, blaming "pressure by countries that are hostile to Syria" for the change.
And on Thursday, Syria's foreign ministry warned that it would retaliate if Lebanon continued to allow "armed terrorist gangs" to infiltrate.
"Syrian forces are showing restraint by not striking these gangs inside Lebanese territory to prevent them crossing into Syria, but this will not go on indefinitely," it said in a message to its Lebanese counterpart.
Beirut has officially pledged neutrality in the violence engulfing its neighbour, but has found itself increasingly embroiled in the civil war.
Lebanon's opposition backs the revolt, which entered its third year on Friday, while Hezbollah and its allies stand by the Syrian regime.
Violence has already spilled over into Lebanon on several occasions, causing fatalities, and on Thursday the UN Security Council expressed "grave concern" about cross-border attacks.

|Nathan Enderle QB Idaho
|Ht: 6'4″
Wt: 240
|Prototypical size. Elite arm strength; can make any throw on the field. A four-year starter. Stands tall in the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield, even has pressure closes in on him. A tough quarterback; doesn't shy away from taking a hit. Good mechanics; really looks the part of a NFL quarterback. Showed steady improvement throughout his career.
|Struggles with accuracy; every so often he'll uncork a throw that just sails on him. Does not put good touch on his passes. Needs to learn how to throw a more catchable ball. Limited mobility.
|At first glance Enderle looks like he belongs in the NFL, but the longer you watch the more apparent his lack of accuracy is. At times it looks like he doesn't even know where the balls going as it leaves his hand. He has improved in this area throughout his career, but not enough to project him as an impact player at the next level. Someone will certainly give him a shot, the lack of accuracy will limit his ability to succeed in the NFL.

Author, Author!
"There are more than a million writers in the United States and they write more than 500,000 books each year, 90% of which never see publication. Not a comforting thought, is it?" This, from an advertisement for Xlibris--a "strategic partner" of Random House Ventures, itself a subsidiary of...well, you guess. I find that less than comforting, too, though not in the way the ad intends. A friend of mine recently completed a rather dispiriting book tour to promote Phoenix, his (true) story of watching his brother die in a hospital burn unit in the city of the same name, after a superheated steam pipe blew at a power plant, killing several men. Having seen his writing compared favorably to John McPhee's in the Los Angeles Times, his hopes had been rather high until the turnouts at some stops proved lower than the expectation, at one juncture comprising only a survivor of the accident. But we'll return to that in a moment. The Xlibris ad--large and prominent, presented in a large and prominent media "outlet" as well--goes on to promise that "help isn't just on the way, it's here. Publishing is becoming an extension of the Internet. Huge investments made by traditional publishers in production and large print runs are becoming less necessary.... Xlibris can enable you to publish your book at no cost. Zero. Zip. Nada. Gratis." This is far from the only venture offering such a service, of course. MightyWords is another, hosting a site at which authors can offer their wares. I say authors, because what technology has effected is an erasure of the difference between "authors" and "potential authors." There was always none in a literal sense, of course, but there was that little catch of publication. Back to my friend: The promise of 500,000 "books" isn't quite the cornucopia it would seem. We have to partake of it, actually, to make it one--ah, there's the rub. The more the merrier in terms of availability, sure. Yet whether it's print-on-demand works Available Now at a Bookstore Near You or material downloadable on your home PC, the democratic spirit of what is infinitely available will war with the autocratic spirit of what is finitely available: our time and attention. Our reading habits may indeed change as a result, as suggested in the essay that leads off this special issue of the magazine devoted to books. It's a Sisyphean task, though, keeping abreast of the work coming out that deserves our attention--whatever the means of delivery. Herein are but a dozen discussions of books out this season, their numbers kept in check by the finite number of pages available. From the CIA's involvement in culture (Frances Stonor Saunders) to the culture of the campus (Francine Prose, Philip Roth) to the vexing history of the Balkans (Misha Glenny, Ismail Kadare), it's all our world. Let's partake of it.

My doctor is just getting nervous because my pain guy dropped me - he said that if i needed such a small dose to help me - i didn't need to go to him and my doctor could help me. . . They are driving me nuts- i have been sick for 4 years and have surgery after surgery - i had pain in my head then i had an accident with braces and lost all my teeth on the bottom - suffering in pain constantly... it sucks. Now he told me i need to find another pain guy... and he cant' keep giving me my meds.. but, i just hope he won't just drop me off of it next month like cold turkey... i have been on it steady for months now...
22 May 2007
they are just driving me nuts.
i have suffered a long time (4years) and now i finally got one doctor to give the okay to give me my meds monthly and now he is falling into a state of panic - because his partner saw the medication i am getting prescribed from his office and they called me telling me i need to go to another pain doctor.
whatever - i don't want to waste any more of your time. I just wanted to know if it was legal to just drop me cold turkey when i go back to fill my prescription. thanks for your time!
22 May 2007
you are BY NO MEANS wasting my time. people have helped me and i am there for anyone (like you) who needs info on what i know and what i have been thru..remember to go to the headline and write in "percocet addiction"... skip thru the sites that try to sell or tell you what facility to go to... EVERYONE OF THEM tell you (and MY dr) that you need to cut down slowly... i WOULD go back to that dr and give HIM/HER some of the info you checked on... it may even help other people who are dealing with same dr as you... here if you need me :)

TO BE CLEAR: The game SPVTW:TG is related to the movie in the sense that it's coming out at the same time. No Michael Cera Voice over and no shoehorned advertisement.
Side scrolling beat'em up that is instantly charming to gamers of the coin slot arcades and the double dragon home consoles will instantly feel a connection to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. Something that will resonate with everyone is the challenge of fighting and figuring out how to spend the spare change.
During my trial playthrough, I was instantly absorbed as I selected my character and was greeted with an overworld and starwipe that reminded me of my super nintedo. With a quick check of my button map, I was impressed to see an assist by Knives. All characters summon her, but each one is different: Ramona gets a big cup of java, Stephen gets a ninja Knives, Scott gets a big LOVE cloud, and Ramona gets a kiss. This temporarily boost power for each character and in can, when executed, unleash a barrage of punches on enemies. I got as high as 150 combo.
With awesome attacks, its only fitting that the enemies are really hard. They charge, pick up objects and throw them for some long distance cowardice, and bigger enemies take a while to wear them down. Not to say it wasn't fun encountering them however. They show emoticons when they lay on the ground hurt >_<. On occasions they dog pile on top of the character and they pick snowball fights in the first stage. The funniest part is when enemies drop change, which actually comes in handy for purchasing items in stores.
One thing that is just fanservice comes from the art and level details. Props go out to Paul Robertson for making the world of Scott Pilgrim come to life and merging it with the beat'em up it takes after. The biggest homages (in the first level anyways) are directed to Mario. The level select reminded me of Super Mario World. There were secret entrances in the level which were like the pipes you went down in mario to get extra loot and advance in the level. There were certain bricks in Ramona's subspace you can break and punch repeatedly that produced a bunch of coins.
Scrounging up all that pocket change comes in handy when entering the stores in the game. The selection in some stores are amazing like green tea or Burritos. It's pretty cool to see that saving up money can actually be used to pay Scott's late fee's at a movie rental store. With the money accumulating, theres probably some worthwhile things to buy in the full game. The only downside so far have been the offline only multiplayer. Since going through alone, it would really help to get the Sex Bob-omb gang all beating up enemies.

Northeast of St. Louis and across the Mississippi, the city of Roxana was hit by an EF3 tornado as well, but National Weather Service meteorologist Jayson Gosselin said it wasn't clear whether the damage in both states came from the same EF3 twister or separate ones.
Back in Oklahoma, Amy Williamson, who lives just off I-40 in the western Oklahoma City suburb of Yukon, said when she learned the tornado was moving toward her home, she piled her two young children, baby sitter and two cats into her SUV.
"We felt like getting out of the way was the best idea," Williamson said. "It was 15 minutes away from my house, and they were saying it was coming right down I-40, so we got in the car and decided to head south."
Williamson said she knows emergency officials recommend taking shelter inside a structure, but fresh in her mind was the devastation of the Moore tornado. Seeing homes stripped to their foundation made her think that fleeing was the best idea, she said.
"I'm a seasoned tornado watcher ... but I just could not see staying and waiting for it to hit," she said. She ended up riding out the storm in a hospital parking garage.
On Saturday, muddy floodwaters stood several feet deep in the countryside surrounding the metro area. Torrential downpours followed for hours after the twisters moved east — up to 7 inches of rain in some parts — and the city's airport had water damage. Some flights resumed Saturday.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office said the body of a man who went missing from his vehicle early Saturday near Harrah, east of Oklahoma City, was found later in a creek by deputies. Roadways around the area were crumbling because of water, especially near an intersection in northeastern Oklahoma City and in Canadian County south of I-40, between Mustang and Yukon.
When the storm passed between El Reno and Yukon, it barreled down I-40 for more than two miles, ripping billboards down to twisted metal frames. Debris was tangled in the median's crossover barriers, including huge pieces of sheet metal, tree limbs and a giant oil drum. The warped remains of a horse trailer lay atop a barbed-wire fence less than 50 yards from the highway.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission reported more than 91,800 homes and businesses across the state remained without power Saturday.

That year, he was the defensive player of the year for the Bloodhounds.
Coaching at nationally ranked Tolentine HS in the Bronx, Coach Lynch won a NYC championship, capping off an undefeated season. He is one of only a handful of NYC High School coaches to have played on and coached an undefeated championship team in the tough catholic league.
Coach Lynch has been married to his wife Donna for 24 years and has two daughters, Katie and Kara. He will be returning this year with hopes of bringing a national championship back to Bethpage.

I nearly died attacking the first day like I was a teen and actually had some miles in me. Got two leg massages that evening that made it work, but the final climb to the bridge nearly did me.
The next two I was ready for.
Mr Head,
The two days took its toll I did nothing on monday and I mean nothing hardly got out of the easy chair.Tues. I did a 20 mile easy spin on the rail trail and my legs weree feeling pretty good.Tonight i'm going for a C club ride and may do some light climbing.Actually it's a clydesdale ride which I just qualify for
beer drinking after.
Funny how things that never cramped or hurt before or bothered me before
start hurting on the second day

it will play in any detail: sitting down in a dark room with
your eyes closed is most likely, but so is looking up to the

do something'.
singsong outside in the sunshine involving beer looks set

A scream cuts through the night, thunder grumbles and Charles Gounod's "Funeral March for a Marionette" (recognizable as the Hitchcock theme) echoes eerily across the theatre to inform the audience that Alfred is in the building.
Get ready for an evening of chuckling chills when you pick up tickets to the Dixie Theatre's professional season production of "Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play" by Joe Landry.
The 1940s period piece is a series of adaptations of three early films directed by Alfred Hitchcock: "The Lodger," "Sabotage" and "The 39 Steps." These stories come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast, with six actors playing dozens of characters, live sound effects and musical underscoring.
The play premiered Oct. 17, 2008 in Atlanta and has become a popular choice for little theatre across the country.
The setting is a sound stage at radio station WBFR, circa 1946. Five microphones, four gargoyles and a few battered armchairs painted with "film noir" lighting are all the props needed to set the mood.
The cast, all members of the Actor's Equity Association, whisk the audience away to a world of mad bombers, serial killers and spies. Len Pfluger does double duty as actor and sound effects expert with an exotic array of props to trick the ear into experiencing explosions, zoo animals and train rides. Prepare to witness an unusual use for an innocent cabbage.
Snappy character transitions keep the stories moving along.
Apalachicola's own Cleo Holladay, as always, is charming and uses her versatile vocal chords to portray a cockney shopkeeper, a withered street merchant and plump cook and a purveyor of exotic, if flawed, fowl. Darren Server is especially spooky as the "Avenger."
Between the three playlets, vintage radio commercials for the Bates Motel and North by Northwest Airlines insert a stab of humor that Hitch himself would have loved.
If you don't watch the master's films regularly, you may forget they were as much comedies as thrillers.
Although Alfred Hitchcock himself couldn't drop in for a cameo appearance at the Dixie, his spirit, or whatever intangible essence lingers of him, is surely smiling at the current production of "Vintage Hitchcock." - By Lois Swoboda.

WASHINGTON ——"When they report cyber incidents or want to share cyber information with the government, it should really be limited to technical data and only the information that's necessary to deal with the threat," she said. "We're concerned also that once it's in government hands, there's no use restriction. … It can be used in criminal cases, immigration enforcement or whatever."
Such objections recall criticism of the so-called warrantless wiretaps authorized by the Bush administration in an attempt to intercept communications by al-Qaida and other adversaries as part of the war on terror. The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have sued the NSA and AT&T over the electronic eavesdropping program.

The bill would not require private businesses to report cyber threat information to the government.
Ruppersberger says the legislation is aimed at improving communication about malware— "a bunch of ones and zeros that make up a computer code that will do bad things to your computer" — not personal information about individuals associated with a business. He describes the bill as a work in progress on an issue that demands immediate attention.
"We're getting attacked as we speak," he said. "It's getting worse and worse every day. I've made the analogy, if we knew that a country was sending a plane over to bomb us, we'd take it out."
He says the legislation should improve communication between the government and the Internet service providers that serve businesses and consumers — "the AT&Ts, the Verizons, the Qwests."
"NSA has this information, and they know that major companies are being attacked, but they're not allowed to pass classified information," he said. "Now you're saying, 'OK, providers, we are giving you the secret sauce. We're giving you the code so you can protect yourself.'"
The National Security Agency referred questions about current communication with the private sector to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. That office did not respond to requests for comment.
Ruppersberger says the legislation builds on a pilot program that has allowed sharing between the NSA and selected defense contractors — and helped thwart hundreds of cyberattacks.
AT&T, IBM, Microsoft Corp. and Verizon have expressed support for the legislation, as have the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several financial and communications industry associations.
"There is a critical role for government in securing cyberspace," said Walter B. McCormick Jr., president and CEO of the industry group USTelecom. The bill, he said, "sets forth a path that would enable government and network providers to better share information in real time."
Cyberattacks are a global challenge. In a heavily publicized recent case, a South Korean bank lost ATM and online banking service for several days in an attack this year and key financial information was destroyed. South Korean prosecutors blame North Korea.
Closer to home, a Hungarian pleaded guilty in federal court last week to transmitting malicious code to Marriott International Corp. and threatening to reveal confidential information about the company if he were not offered a job maintaining the network.
According to a plea agreement, Attila Nemeth, 26, sent the Bethesda-based hotel chain an email last year containing attachments that included confidential information that had been stored on company computers.
Nemeth acknowledged sending an infected email attachment to Marriott employees in order to install malicious software that gave him a back door into the network, according to a statement by the U.S. attorney for Maryland.
Ursula Powidzki, director of business development at the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, says large companies — financial institutions, insurance companies, retailers and supermarkets — know they are vulnerable.
"They have a lot of consumer data that is a very obvious target for criminal hackers," she said. "It's the small and mid-sized companies that don't fully realize how exposed they may be."
She speaks of a "very, very sophisticated" small-business owner in Maryland whose consulting website was hacked.
"They spent three days having to bring in outside people to help get the site back up," Powidzki said. "She had no idea why someone would do this or how they did it. They had to get up the learning curve very, very quickly."
Derek Gabbard, CEO of Lookingglass Cybersecurity in Baltimore, predicted that private companies would welcome more information from the government.
"Folks that are running threat intelligence teams in the private sector are dying for more data," he said. "They understand that the adversaries are sharing information."
But he says businesses might be skeptical about government intentions and be hesitant to divulge information.
Gabbard said intelligence officials "need to share and not expect anything back for quite a while, until the private sector is comfortable that the government really is a partner and not trying to use them as a sensor grid."
"One of the old mindsets that hopefully is changing is that government just wants to collect information without producing anything back," he said. "It's kind of a one-way transmission."

WOW, I just won a free year of Sonic.net at the highest speed they can
provide (in some cases up to 30Mps) by twittering a few times and
including #sonicnet in the twitter (still open for a few days, they award
once a day)
Anyway, I will flipping my old OLD many-grandfathered original PacBell
setup of /29 IPs for a new 8-ip block from Sonic (besides kicking my speed
up many notches). *sigh* two servers (Debian Etch, 5 home computers on a
network, router, reverse IP options, a dozen domains on half a dozen
different register services. And apparently I will be gaining wifi ability
with the new equipment. Im feeling abit overwhelmed.
I dont use GUI's or menus. I prefer to know what is where and why. OK so
at the moment the /etc/network/interfaces looks like this.
auto lo

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
name Ethernet LAN card

broadcast 188.8.131.52
network 18.104.22.168
gateway 188.8.131.52
I have to edit that file and do a ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0.
I did a sudo grep for files that had the IP in it in the /etc directory.
/etc/exim4 (a number of files)
Does anything else come to anyones mind?
Anywhere else I should grep for the old IP? Some central storage of config
files other than /etc?

HAVING several mates might seem like a good way to produce as many fit offspring as possible. So why are some mammals monogamous? The conventional explanation is that care by both parents is essential to ensure their offspring's survival. But British zoologists now claim to have found the first evidence that some male animals stay faithful to one mate even though their young are cared for exclusively by the female.
Peter Brotherton and Anna Rhodes of the University of Cambridge studied the behaviour of a species of dwarf antelope, Kirk's dik-dik, which is found in east and southwest Africa. Females are solitary and territorial, guarding their ranges against other females. They mate with the same male for over four years and sometimes for their whole lifetime.
As in all mammals, the potential reproductive rate of males is higher than that of females because they can reproduce continuously, whereas females cannot ...

Chicago Schools Bribe Parents With Gift Cards to Attend Teacher Conferences
You may have heard about bribes offered to kids in order to increase attendance, but what about bribing parents? Chicago schools are doing just that. Parents will be given a $25 dollar gift card to Walgreens if they pick up their child's report card and attend parent-teacher conferences.
Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade wondered, "Is it the fact that they're not flexible enough where the parents are working two jobs and can't get there on time? Or
do they believe that parents […] have that little interest in their children that they need a bribe to go?"
The exact reasons may be unclear, but the fact remains that schools in Chicago do not have high graduation rates. If parents are more involved, officials believe that children will do better in school. Walgreens is donating the money for this effort.
Do you think this is a smart move?

Bringing the Knowledge to You
Novell Data Center Evolution and IT in Action Tours
WWhere do you turn for the quality technical education and training you need when there's simply no money for travel? It's a tough question that thousands of information technology professionals are asking themselves in today's difficult economy. And it's also a question that Novell has been working very hard to answer. Besides the online training offerings that Novell Connection has been covering recently, a big part of the answer involves taking the same top-quality information thousands of customers have traditionally enjoyed at large live conferences and bringing it right to your doorstep-through free, multi-city tours, new online learning resources and more local advanced technical training (ATT) options.
This expanded "bring the knowledge to you" approach kicked off last month with two ambitious multi-city tours: the Data Center Evolution tour, which started March 24, and the IT in Action Tour, which begins in May. These free face-to-face events will introduce you to the latest Novell products and solutions, show you how they can solve difficult IT and data center challenges, and put you in close contact with Novell experts. They will also set the stage for-and provide a convenient gateway to-a wealth of new in-depth online learning resources and local Novell Advanced Technical Training (ATT) opportunities.
But filing your completed tasks is not the only magic act GroupWise rules can help you perform with tasks. Following are a few real-life task challenges GroupWise 8 can help you tackle.
Finding and participating in either or both of these face-to-face tours is easy. Click here to check dates and locations. Register online for an event near you, then prepare to show up ready to learn and ask questions.
Data Center Evolution: Build, Manage and Measure
How are today's tighter-than-normal budgets affecting the evolution and development of your data center? There are likely almost as many answers to this question as there are businesses, but one thing is clear: lean times make it even more necessary to align information technology with business necessities. The Data Center Evolution tour, which began on March 24 in North America and extends through July in parts of Asia and Europe, explores ways to help you accomplish this by presenting more cost effective ways to build, manage and measure your data center.
This process starts with helpful strategies and demonstrations that will enhance your efforts to make your data center more interoperable, agile and easy to manage. It also includes valuable information about the new features and capabilities in Novell's latest data center products-including SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, PlateSpin Workload Management and Novell Business Service Management. Each half-day event features an opening keynote address and three 1-hour sessions where you'll learn how Novell can help you:
- Build a foundation for your data center that is interoperable, ubiquitous and fully capable of running mission-critical workloads. You'll leave with new ideas for building a lasting and agile infrastructure that delivers the services your users need today and in the future.
- Manage your entire data center more effectively. This includes using disaster recovery and availability solutions to simplify the replication of whole workloads and create warm stand-by recovery systems.
- Measure data center performance to make sure you're meeting service license agreements (SLAs) for the services you're delivering. You'll learn about easy-to-use solutions for measuring data center services that ensure accuracy by involving everyone in the organization at an appropriate level.
