The Ministry of Public Security (Abbreviation: MPS; Simplified Chinese: 公安部; pinyin: gōng ān bù), headed by the Minister of Public Security, is the principal police authority on the mainland of the People's Republic of China and the agency that is responsible for most of the day-to-day law enforcement in mainland China.
The MPS is the main domestic security agency in the People's Republic of China, thus making it the equivalent to the National Police Agency in Japan or national police in other countries. It controls and administers the People's Armed Police. In general, the MPS does not undertake paramilitary functions, which are within the province of the People's Armed Police, nor does it generally conduct domestic intelligence which is the responsibility of the Ministry of State Security. Hong Kong and Macau have their own security bureaus/agencies and police forces. As of 2007, the Minister of Public Security is Meng Jianzhu.
Local municipal police under the MPS used to be usually unarmed in contrast to the agents of the PAP; however since 2006 decision has been taken to issue sidearms to all frontline MPS personnel; the chosen firearm is a 9mm double-action revolver manufactured by the China North Industries Corporation.
There have been many public complaints that the Public Security Bureaus (Abbreviation: PSB; Simplified Chinese: 公安局; pinyin: gōng ān jú), the local extensions of the national MPS, are undermanned and unable to deal with what the public perceives to be the problem of rising crime. Other issues that the PSB has had to deal with in recent years have included insufficient salary, poor training, low morale among the officers, and complaints about abuses of power.
The MPS is organized into functional departments assigned to cover areas such as intelligence, police operations, prisons, and political, economic, and communications security. Subordinate to the MPS are the provincial-level public security departments; PS Bureaus and subbureaus at the county level (the bureaus are located in the prefectures and large cities, the subbureaus in counties and municipal districts); and public security stations at the township level. While public security considerations weighed heavily at all levels of administration, the police appeared to wield progressively greater influence at the lower levels of government.
The organization of local public security stations could be inferred from the tasks with which the police were charged. Generally, each station had sections assigned to cover population control, pretrial investigations, welfare, traffic control, and other activities. Each also had a detention center.
The public security station generally had considerably broader responsibilities than a police station in the West, involving itself in every aspect of the district people's lives. In a rural area a station typically has a chief, a deputy chief, a small administrative staff, and a small police force. In an urban area it usually has a greater number of administrative staff members and seven to eighteen patrolmen. Its criminal law activities included investigation, apprehension, interrogation, and temporary detention. The station's household section maintained a registry of all persons living in the area. Births, deaths, marriages, and divorces were recorded and confirmed through random household checks. The station regulated all hotels and required visitors who remained beyond a certain number of days to register. All theaters, cinemas, radio equipment, and printing presses also were registered with the local public security station, permitting it to regulate gatherings and censor information effectively. It also regulated the possession, transportation, and use of all explosives, guns, ammunition, and poisons.
Another important police function was controlling change of residence. Without such controls, large numbers of rural residents undoubtedly would move to the overcrowded cities in search of better living standards, work, or education. In April 1984 the State Council issued the Tentative Regulations Governing People's Republic of China Resident Identity, this became the identification card of the People's Republic of China. The regulations, was implemented over a period of years, required all residents over sixteen years of age, except active-duty members of the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police and inmates serving prison sentences, to be issued resident identity cards by the MPS. The identification card indicates the name, sex, nationality, ethnicity, date of birth, and address of the bearer. Cards for persons sixteen to twenty-five years of age were valid for ten years; those for persons between twenty-five and forty-five were valid for twenty years; and persons over forty-five were issued permanent cards. As of early 1987, only 70 million people had been issued identity cards, well below the national goal. Also, even those with resident identity cards preferred to use other forms of identification.
The criminal laws in force after January 1, 1980, restricted police powers regarding arrests, investigations, and searches. A public security official or a citizen could apprehend a suspect under emergency conditions, but a court or procuratorate was required to approve the arrest. The accused had to be questioned within twenty-four hours and his or her family or work unit notified of the detention "except in circumstances where notification would hinder the investigation or there was no way to notify them." Any premeditated arrest required a warrant from a court or procuratorate. The time that an accused could be held pending investigation was limited to three to seven days, and incarceration without due process was made illegal.
Two officials were needed to conduct a criminal investigation. They were required to show identification and, apparently, to inform the accused of the crime allegedly committed before he or she was questioned. The suspect could refuse to answer only those questions irrelevant to the case. Torture was rendered illegal.
The 1980 laws also provided that in conjunction with an arrest the police could conduct an emergency search; otherwise, a warrant was required. They had the right to search the person, property, and residence of an accused and the person of any injured party. They could intercept mail belonging to the accused and order an autopsy whenever cause of death was unclear.
In July 1980 the government approved new regulations governing police use of weapons and force. Police personnel could use their batons only in self-defense or when necessary to subdue or prevent the escape of violent criminals or rioters. Lethal weapons, such as pistols, could be used if necessary to stop violent riots, to lessen the overall loss of life, or to subdue surrounded but still resisting criminals. The regulations even governed use of sirens, police lights, and whistles.

Oddbits: 21st Amendment night at City Beer, Freaktoberfest, Pliny is a best-seller, a video on the GABF, Slow Food is deserting us, a Joe Sixpack votes for Obama video
By William Brand
Thursday, October 30th, 2008 at 9:12 am in Uncategorized.
Events. It's late notice, I know, but City Beer, 1168 Folsom St. in San Francisco is holding a 21st Amendment night tonight, (Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008). 21st head brewer Shaun O'Sullivan says they'll be pouring Fat Bavarian, Double Trouble IPA, Back in Black and Diesel Imperial Smoked Porter. Hours 6-10 p.m. No admission. Buy your own beer.
By the way…if you've never visited City Beer, I highly recommend it. Proprietors Craig and Beth Wathen have an unusual off-sale, on-sale license and an extensive beer list. You can buy a bottle of any beer, share it with friends at the pub. If you like the beer, you can buy more to take home.
Another event… Shmaltz Brewing, makers of He'brew are unveiling their blood red beer (yes it's a red lager) tonight (Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008) 9 p.m. Elixir Saloon
3200 16th St., San Francisco. No cover Cash Bar. They're having a Halloween party Friday night at Amnesia, 853 Valencia St, San Franciaco, $10 cover. The beer's a 6.6 percent lager with a dry finish.
Moving on… Got this note from Ben Eksousian, who coordinates speciality beer sales for Whole Foods Markets in Northern California:
- William, We are flying through Pliny (Pliny the Elder, Russian River Brewing) at all our locations that carry it..Last week it was in our top 10 best selling beers for the region. Amazing stuff…
To which I say: Amen.
Also got a note from Chris and Merideth Nelson that they've posted their latest video…on the just concluded Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Find it at www.thebeergeek.com.
…Remember the Slow Food Nation expo at Fort Mason over Labor Day. They had a great beer pavilion, overseen by the San Francisco Brewers Guild, with craft beer from across America.. (Read our report here). Did the expo draw a crowd? You betcha"
- Slow Food Nation today announced that after analyzing all post-event surveys, they have found that the total number of unique visitors to the event was over 85,000. The new analysis also shows that the Marketplace on Civic Center Plaza vendors made a total of 48,000 individual purchases; that Californian family farmers sold $300,000 of product directly to the public during the event; and that the Slow on the Go vendors sold over $150,000. The event raised $45,000 through Slow Dinners for partner non-profit organizations in the Bay Area, including the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy, Greenbelt Alliance, La Cocina, Community Alliance with Family Farmers, City Slicker Farms, and People's Grocery. Thanks to a collaboration with Fora.TV and Participant Media, the Slow Food Nation Food for Thought videos posted to the web site have been viewed by over 25,000 people, more than triple the number who attended in person.
Enough blah-blah-blah. The bad news: There won't be an expo here next year. Maybe Washington, Chicago or Des Moines. Drat. Hey! Maybe we should do another Slow Food Beer Expo here next Labor Day on our own. How about it SF Brewers Guild?
There's news about Fuller's new whiskey-barrel-aged beer. It's coming to the U.S. at some point in the next few months and will be for sale in very limited markets, the importer Distinguished Brands Inc. says. Gotta' try this one.
Hi William– I think you'll like my song, I'm Joe Six-pack and I'm voting for Obama: Here's the YouTube link:
Thanks, Rita Abrams
Whoa. Stop the presses…Here's news from MillerCoors:
MillerCoors is excited to announce the national launch of MGD 64 – the lightest beer on the market with just 64 calories and 2.5 grams of carbohydrates per 12 oz. bottle. The differences between MGD 64 and other light beers and alcohol beverages really add up – take a look:
· A 12-ounce bottle of Bud Light has 110 calories
· A 12-ounce bottle of Michelob Ultra has 95 calories
· A 6-ounce glass of red wine contains 128 calories
· A 6.5-ounce margarita contains 246 calories
Question: Why is drinking these beers like making love in a canoe? You answer that one. This is a family blog.

BLOOMINGTON -- They booed. It wasn't an Assembly Hall first and it might not be a last. Not when winnable games are lost, double-digit leads are blown and home-court advantage goes the way of Cincinnati's Super Bowl hopes. Not when the Indiana Hoosiers, victory within their grasp, fumbled and fouled it away. Not when Illinois, on the verge of getting blown out, gutted out a victory to remain a Big Ten unbeaten.
Indiana was left with what might have been in the aftermath of Saturday night's 66-60 loss. It is 7-8 overall, 1-2 in the Big Ten. Illinois is 11-5 and 3-0.
A 15-point lead wasn't enough. Neither was the motivation from Wednesday's 25-point loss at Ohio State.
"We've got to learn to play better and play through our mistakes," guard Jordan Hulls said.
With Illinois on the brink, trailing 57-48 with eight minutes left, IU missed jumpers, layups, hooks, tips and free throws. It missed from half court and fast break. It scored just three points the rest of the way. Illinois scored 18.
Oh, yes. The Hoosiers fouled -- 28 times to the Illini's 17.
"We fouled a lot," Hulls said, "and they killed us from the line."
The Illini thrived with free throws (27-for-39) and rebounding (a 38-31 advantage) and anything shot from Mike Tisdale's hands. The 7-1 forward scored 27 points on 7-for-11 shooting, 13-for-14 from the line.
"They were going to come after us," Illinois coach Bruce Weber said. "They were embarrassed the other night. Our guys were a little bit stagnant, like deer in the headlights. We were not responding to the physicality of game. We stayed close enough to give ourselves a chance. We've been in this spot many times before. We do keep our poise."
That's something IU coach Tom Crean couldn't say. The second-half collapse -- the Hoosiers were 1-for-11 on three-pointers, 2-for-6 from the line and had just three assists against eight turnovers -- hurt like a fist to the gut.
"We have some very disappointed guys," Crean said. "It's a very hurting locker room. When you fight like that, it should be. That's how you get better. That's how you build a program."
Maurice Creek showed up at a game for the first time since fracturing his knee cap last month. IU's freshman guard, dressed as if to play, was on crutches from his surgery. He was in the middle of the Hoosiers pre-game dancing huddle just before tip-off and in every strategy huddle afterward.
Illinois was out of synch at the start. Guard Jeff Jordan, yes the son of former NBA superstar Michael Jordan, started ahead of veteran Demetri McCamey, who was benched for a casual practice approach. It didn't last long, McCamey replaced him three minutes into the game.
IU rocked the Illini early. Check that. Hulls rocked them early. He had three three-pointers, a steal and a layup to boost the Hoosiers to a 19-9 lead and jack up the student-depleted crowd (students weren't yet back from holiday break). Illinois couldn't make layups and couldn't avoid turnovers.
The Hoosiers built a 14-point lead behind 60-percent shooting (including 4-for-5 on three-pointers), crisp ball movement, solid rebounding and aggressive defense.
This was nothing new for Illinois, which has endured a season of early deficits. Against Clemson, it was 23 points and the Illini won. Against, Gonzaga, it was 21 points and they lost.
They trailed IU 41-28 at halftime and it would have been more if they hadn't gone 16-for-23 on free throws to IU's 8-for-12.
The Hoosiers scored the first basket of the second half and was on the verge of a blowout. Illinois responded with a 9-0 run to position itself for another comeback victory.
Verdell Jones' three-point play restored some of the cushion. Jeremiah Rivers' attack-the-basket mentality restored more. But IU turnovers prevented it from taking charge. Its shooting woes, fouls and defensive lapses ruined everything else.
Illinois capitalized behind the hot-shooting Tisdale. It tied the score at 57-57 and 59-59. Guard D.J. Richardson's jumper gave the Illini a 61-60 lead with 1:09 left. Tisdale got free for a layup off a pick and roll to make it 63-60 with 40 seconds left.
With no outside offensive game, the Hoosiers went inside to forward Christian Watford. His shot was blocked. Illinois got the rebound and then the victory.
"They stopped making their 3s," Weber said. "That was huge. Maybe they lost their legs a little bit. We finally got stops."
Added Crean: "It felt like a fight out there. At times in the past we weren't the ones fighting. This time we were. I'm not discouraged. Not at all."

Quote of the Day – If we have to wait for the Castros to die, we'll wait
From an editorial in The Miami Herald, South Florida journalist Michael Putney on the U.S. embargo of Cuba's apartheid Castro dictatorship:
"[T]he U.S. embargo should stay in place. Fiction or not, it should be lifted only in return for something major from Cuba — the democratic reforms codified in the Helms-Burton law. If that means no 'direct engagement' until the Castros are dead, so be it."

Sony Online Entertainment finally launched the long-delayed DC Universe Online back in January, but "late" next month, less than a year later, the game will swap business models and become free-to-play.
This move applies to both the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game, so if you've been looking for a way to give this superhero MMO a go, there's suddenly a much cheaper method on the horizon.
The monthly subscription has been the go-to model for MMO games for years, but few have been successful enough to convince a sizable number of users to stick around. SOE's seen success with free-to-play games, such as Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures, so the company knows the territory.
"We believe this new model will expand the DCUO experience and offer more options that cater to every type of player so they can play the game in a way that fits them," said SOE CEO John Smedley in a press release this morning.
Rather than break down what you are and aren't getting myself, SOE made this nifty graphic. In a nutshell, the "free" version of the game comes with some caveats.

Full Performances From the Glee Season 2 Finale, "New York"
Did anyone else have Glee's cover of "Empire State of Mind" running through their heads during last night's Season 2 finale? Guess this is one of those Oprah-coined "full circle moments" that Chris Colfer (Kurt) mentioned. In the first episode of the season, New Directions performed Jay-Z's ode-to-the-big-apple in the McKinley High courtyard. Fast-forward 21 episodes later, and the glee club finds themselves in the city of love that never sleeps for Nationals — so it's only appropriate that they pay proper tribute. Although we're still partial to the aforementioned season-opening tune, their "I Love New York/New York, New York" mashup was pretty darn entertaining.
Moving on... We love a good Brittany-penned nonsensical ditty as much as the next Gleek ("Fondue for Two" and last night's "My Cup" — instant classics), and we also don't mind when intra-glee club bonding leads to moments like the guys serenading Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith) on the street with "Bella Notte." Another favorite? Rachel and Kurt's "wicked" and, yes, over-the-top Gershwin Theatre break-in-turned-duet.
All of that became a blur, however, when Rachel and Finn poured their hearts out on the Nationals stage while singing the Glee original "Pretending." The next original, "Light Up the World," didn't meet the level of kick-a**-ness as their Regionals jam "Loser Like Me," but we may have been too distracted by that kiss to judge accurately.
What do YOU think? Did the Season 2 finale pack the musical punch you had hoped for? And did anyone else forget Mr. Schue's (Matthew Morrison) "Still Got Tonight" performance as soon as it was over? Yikes.
(Re-)watch all the performances below!

Napoleon once said that an army moves on its stomach. But the cavalry moves on its hooves, and it took an army of farriers–called "shoeing smiths" by the British military–to keep the horses moving in World War I.
But what about a film crew? And what about the production of Steven Spielberg's film War Horse in England in 2010?
DreamWorks Pictures learned the importance of a farrier too, especially when Roger, a plow-horse lookalike for Joey, kept stepping on (and thereby pulling off) his shoes in the furrow.
"Cut!" "Get the farrier up here!" "Where's the farrier?"
And not only did the farrier have to keep putting shoes back on in the midst of many shoots that were mired in mud: director Spielberg put location farrier Brendan Murray to work in the forge in the shoeing scene. They turned the camera on him and his apprentice for the crucial background action in the scene where Joey meets Topthorn while the two are waiting to be shod.
You'll hear all about it in this interview with Great Britain's international eventing team farrier Brendan Murray, a seasoned veteran of both shoeing and riding for film productions!
Brendan was interviewed by Lexington, Kentucky's freelance equestrian media pro Samantha L. Clark of eventingnation.com and many other audio, video and web projects for the horse world. This is Samantha's first "guest blog" under the banner War Horse News and it's appropriate that it arrived as a media file, instead of a text document or an image file
About Brendan Murray
Brendan has been associated as eventing team farrier with the British Equestrian Federation and Team GBR for many years. He has served at five Olympic Games, three World Equestrian Games, and many European championships. He was flag bearer for Great Britain and led his country into the arena in the opening ceremonies of the 2010 WEG in Kentucky, as chosen by the athletes.
Brendan is retired as a farrier in the British military's esteemed King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery; among his duties was serving as brakeman for the gun carriage loaded with the casket of Princess Diana at her funeral in 1997. Among Brendan's film on-screen credits are Gladiator, Robin Hood and 2012′s Snow White and the Huntsman.
You might enjoy a video interview by Samantha Clark with Brendan at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.
About Samantha Clark: Who is she? Then: eventer, NPR news anchor, and (most recently) co-host of the 2010 Radio Show about the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Now: armed with social media, camera, video and a smart phone, she knows no bounds.
Samantha says of herself: "I'm thrilled to have my blog on EventingNation.com as an excuse to pursue an incurable curiosity about anything to do with horses (especially eventing), satisfy my wanderlust and aid in my determination to cling to my English roots. I'm often accompanied by two small children–sometimes helpful, sometimes a hindrance–and almost always by a beautiful, black Labrador who is perfect company!"
Samantha's blog is a must-read on the web and she is equally a must-follow on Twitter: @samanthalclark for great horse tweets from Kentucky and the eventing world.

The Africa Twin XRV650 & XRV750 thread

Hello to all and to limcheewang,
I don't know if this works on the African Twin. I'm a rather small guy and my Suzuki DR 750 Big is a big, heavy bike for me. Until I put a tank-crash-bar on it it was nearly impossible for me to lift it on it's center-stand. Every possible grabbing-point for my right hand was out of reach or had sharp edges that prevented a good, hard grip.
Now I can put my right foot on the loop of the stand (there's no lever on it) and press it down to the ground. I put my left hand on the crash-bar and my right hand on the left passenger's grip. Before, I turn the handle-bar to it's right-hand stop. Now I can pull the bike up at the tank-guard and just have to guide the back of it with my right hand. Main-force is on the left hand! I ignore the handle-bar's tendency to turn left when the bike starts rising. Having it turned to the right side just gives me space enough to bow towards the guard and start the operation. Otherwise my head would get in the bar's way (or is that the other way round
Sorry for loosing so many words on such a simple topic, but it's very important for small people ...
Kind regards to all of you and to limcheewang from Hobbit to Hobbit ... Bambi

Jack McAuliffe, Beer Pioneer
By Jay Brooks
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 10:20 am in On Beer.
The Brewers Association's new website, CraftBeer.com, has a great article and interview up today with Jack McAuliffe. If you don't know who Jack McAuliffe is, you should. McAuliife founded the New Albion Brewery in Sonoma, California in October of 1976. New Albion was the very first modern microbrewery in the country, and along with Anchor and several early brewpubs, is the reason that the San Francisco Bay Area is the birthplace of craft beer in America.
Jack in his new brewery back in the day.
Check out The Rise and Fall of New Albion Brewing led the way for the American Craft Beer Revolution by John Holl.
Sierra Nevada is also doing a collaboration beer, Jack & Ken's Ale (a barley wine) with Jack McAuliffe as a part of their Sierra 30 Series, celebrating their 30th anniversary this year.

It's not often you can boil down complicated abstract ideas of science or culture into simple concepts everyone can understand. Gems like "for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction" don't come along every day. But every time someone asks me what science is like I simply say "You've seen The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. It's like that" and they nod knowingly.
What? You haven't seen it? Read on my friends. In a few key phrases you will know everything you need to know. Science wisdom, as distilled by quotes from one of the greatest science films of all time (and it's fun for Halloween too) – The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. It's also PG and totally safe for older children, unless your kid is prone to irrational fear of Skeletorama-motion plastic props and utters sentences like …
"Even when I was a child, I was hated by skeletons!"
That's right, skeletons may hate you but work still needs to get done. You may like research but research doesn't have to like you. Now, research won't dislike you in the skeleton-wants-to-kill-you-and-take-your-magic-rock way, more in the disinterested casual disdain way. Science is inherently dull. You don't often get big breakthroughs like Elizabeth Shue had in The Saint, inventing cold fusion and what not.
"Well, if I wanted to have a safe life, I guess I wouldn't have married a man who studies rocks."
That's right, science is not always sitting in a cozy lab with women who look like Jennifer Connelly in Hulk. Sure, it's like that a lot but most of the time it can be a little dangerous. Say, for instance, you work at the LHC. What if you fire it up and that lawyer who calls himself Doctor (yes, I know, J.D.' s can call themselves Doctor, just like I can call myself a Chinese jet pilot) and his science fiction writer compadre(1) are right and Mayans appear from a black hole with a whole army of strangelets doing suppressing fire? Not so safe now, are you?
No, science is not safe all the time. Not just for geologists either. Bruce Banner turned into a raging animal – and not just in the awesome "throw me around some furniture but then make me a nice cup of tea later" way women like – an actual green animal. And animal right activists turn into … well, insane lunatics who firebomb the homes of scientists.
Back to the LHC. The worst thing that will happen is bad luck. Bad transformers, Helium leaks, Klondike Kop-level mistakes – it's what you expect from French government workers.
Fear not. If things go wrong, scientists will protect you. If you're wise, you'll get behind Maria Spiropulu.
She'll know what to do.
"I'm a scientist, I don't believe in anything."
Scientists only believe in what they do. Everything else is quackery. Physicists can easily make fun of psychologists or Voodoo shamen, for example, but have no problem believing in dark matter with no more proof then 'if you don't believe in dark matter, the universe can't be expanding, and it certainly is'.
Biologists are the same way. Non-PhDs will scratch their heads and wonder why there isn't a transitional fossil between fish and humans, for example, and less patient biologists will wave their hands and insist it is foolish to expect there to be evidence for every little thing.
Scientists believe in falsification. This is why women and chess players are great scientists. But falsification usually applies to other fields … or competitors.
"Betty, you know what this meteor could mean to science. It could mean actual advances in the field of science."
Science rarely moves in leaps. Newton made a leap. Darwin made a leap. By the late 1800s there was a belief we had learned everything there was to learn. All that remained was learning more detail about what we already knew.
Today, there is resistance to that idea, but only because every scientist has read that scientists said that in the late 1800s. Secretly we believe it now too. Like protesters in San Francisco who protest today because people did it generations ago, we accept it as a given. Science may make actual advances, but unless we start finding magic rocks, I doubt it.
Personally, I think we know it all.
"Too much science? Is that possible?"
Well, it isn't possible, except maybe in America. And that isn't a funding problem, it's a visa problem. In the 1990s we decided that the best way to protect wages domestically was to keep lower-priced people from other countries out of the market. So since they can't get jobs, they go back home. But they can still get student visas. So basically we are training competitors here and then telling them they can't stay.
There are a lot of science policy issues that need to be addressed in the next few years so you're probably wanting to know which presidential candidate is going to be better. The answer? Neither, and it isn't because of war or mortgages or anything else. It's because there isn't a crucial issue that relies on a science solution. Global warming is a bulldozer coming at us but it's a hundred years away. NASA long ago gave up any interest in anything beyond perpetuating NASA budgets so they aren't doing anything worth talking about. The NIH has so much money it doesn't know what to do with it, unless you think one university in America deserves over a billion dollars a year in federal money.
Are we killing science in America?
So vote whatever way you want. From a science point of view, other than a placebo like backing hESC research and lip service to global warming, it won't make a bit of difference.
"My wife sometimes forgets she is not a space alien."
Not in a mood to watch campy Halloween movies about plastic skeletons? No interest in Dracula, Frankenstein or dumb kids having sex with serial killers nearby? Here is my short list of Halloween stuff that demands to be watched. One of them (#2) also has plastic skeletons but it has shotguns and a Book of the Dead, so I call that a draw.
Top 5 Halloween Non-Traditional Things You Should Be Watching This Week
(5) Lifeforce.Yes, Hollywood people seem to think all vampires are hot girl vampires. But Mathilda May is a French girl playing a naked space vampire and that merits your consideration.
(4) The Purple Monster Strikes Will you think it's great cinema? No, it's a Republic serial and you'll only watch one episode but it started the sci-fi alien craze that swept throughout the 1950s and it should be a Halloween staple.
(3) They Live. Some day you will remember these words; The Matrix ripped this movie off. John Carpenter made a brilliant film here that's a lot deeper than you might think. Perfect for Halloween or any time, especially if you are concerned about a consumer culture, though I think we all gave up on that long ago.
(2) Army of Darkness. Why? Because Evil Dead is just too darn scary but Army of Darkness has the right blend of humor, action and whatever else you call it. It also has skeletons, a Book of the Dead, and classic lines like "Gimme some sugar, baby!"
(1) Ghostbusters. Seriously, you know why.

Publisher: Addison-Wesley

This book is meant as a text for a first-year graduate course in analysis. In a sense, the subject matter covers the same topics as elementary calculus - linear algebra, differentiation, integration - but treated in a manner suitable for people who will be using it in further mathematical investigations. The book begins with point-set topology, essential for all analysis. The second part deals with the two basic spaces of analysis, Banach and Hilbert spaces. The book then turns to the subject of integration and measure. After a general introduction, it covers duality and representation theorems, some applications (such as Dirac sequences and Fourier transforms), integration and measures on locally compact spaces, the Riemann-Stjeltes integral, distributions, and integration on locally compact groups. Part four deals with differential calculus (with values in a Banach space). The next part deals with functional analysis. It includes several major spectral theorems of analysis, showing how one can extend to infinite dimensions certain results from finite-dimensional linear algebra; a discussion of compact and Fredholm operators; and spectral theorems for Hermitian operators. The final part, on global analysis, provides an introduction to differentiable manifolds. The text includes worked examples and numerous exercises, which should be viewed as an integral part of the book. The organization of the book avoids long chains of logical interdependence, so that chapters are as independent as possible. This allows a course using the book to omit material from some chapters without compromising the exposition of material from later chapters.

If you were unaware of who Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd was a couple of months ago, you likely learned about him after his revelation that he was under the influence of cocaine for about two-thirds of his Major League starts. Boyd, who pitched 10 seasons in the majors, said he stayed up all night at every ballpark with cocaine pumping through his system. Oil Can will touch on that and other topics when his E:60 special airs on ESPN Tuesday night, including how he feels about Jackie Robinson.
According to the Boston Globe, Buster Olney asked Boyd what he would say to Robinson if he ever met him in another life. Here's how the former Red Sox hurler responded:
"Why'd you do this? I don't really think that Negro League baseball shoulda been broken up. It was — it was individuality … I'm not real thankful to Jackie at all because I'm me – my style of baseball, the way I played it in the major league transpired from the Negro Leagues. So that's why people found that I was a hot dog or I was flamboyant."
Obviously, an African-American player openly admitting they are not thankful to Robinson is a very big deal and something we are not accustomed to hearing. Robinson signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers signified the beginning of the end for the Negro Leagues and opened the door for African-American players to play in the Major Leagues. While most believe Robinson helped end another form of institutionalized racism, Boyd apparently feels as though Jackie is responsible for the downfall of a league he loved.
I understand exactly what Boyd is saying. The Negro Leagues had more charisma and style than the professional 'white' leagues. Most whites feel that intergration was best for the 'Negro' ... However, Blacks didn't need forced integration by the government. We needed protection from the violent racism from white society. MLK was a great but misguided leader. African-Americans needed protection and education, not integration. With protection from the violence and unequal justice of white society and EDUCATION, white America would have integrated out of need. They would have been forced to realize that the black professional (in any profession) was at least as good or better than his white counterparts. ... The great Jim Brown echoed those same exact sentiments. ... And he was right.
Really??? White America NEEDED blacks to be integrated? Wow.
Boyd is having flashbacks from his drug days. Does it say anything about his character that he played while zonked on drugs? What a way to support your teammates, loser.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
I totally agree. He DID NOT diss Jackie (poor headline)! He simply stated his opinion and tried to explain his style of play. People need to stop reading into stuff and stop putting words into other people's mouths.
He freely admits to constant drug use and wasted some much talent,anyone who feels he was a good player has no morale convictions! He was a poor excuss for a player, a man and a human being!!! Its easy to comment on Jackie when you or him could not carry his jock strap!
Being a drug addict doesn't make him a poor excuse for a human being. He made bad choices and suffered the consequenses for it. Do your bad choices make you a poor excuse for a human being? ... Or just an idiot?
Wow, you just keep staying classy Mr Boyd
Can is stuck in the 70's and missed out on the really big paychecks of today. How much did the Negro Leagues pay? Sure, it was fun and great to watch and read about, but we all, not just the Blacks, Whites or Hispanices better and take a minute and think of what baseball might of been without Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Frank Robinson and all the others? Thanx Jackie !
Boyd is right. Jackie Robinson was the reason the Negro Leagues died. That was the plan all along. If you know the history of the NL you will see that they outdrew the Major League attendance stats by thousands. Branch Rickey was a shrewd businessman who knew that intergration and elimination of the NL would benefit (white) baseball. He accomplished just that. As more and more of the best NL players were swayed away from their league the attendance dwindled and the rest is history. Intergration was bad for the game. Just imagine baseball as it used to be. The rivalry would be fierce and attendance would be off the chain. Both leagues would benefit and the true world series would be played between the two leagues to crown the real world champion. Sorry Jackie!
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
What a stupid remark. If the Negro Leagues were making more money than why would you go to a league that made less. I understand what Boyd was saying not what boospie is saying.
The Negro Leagues teams won more than they lost in the exhibitions against the white major league teams. And both leagues went all out to win. That speaks for itself.
I am African American and I hate baseball but I was furious when I first saw this headline. After I read the article and his stance I did understand what he was saying. He does have a point. Jackie going over to the Dodgers did signal the end of the Negro League. However, it did show the world that African Americans could compete in the "Majors".. I cant say if it was worth it or not... What I will say is that at this point and time African Americans have no interest in baseball..The cocaine issue is a whole other story....Soccer will take over baseball at somepoint..GoChicago Fire!!!
The Negro league certianly didn't offer the pay level of the MLB. I'm pretty sure Oil Can wouldn't have taken the pay cut if he had the choice.
in a sense and history proves the so called equality of the races has destroyed the black community. while the people who could moved out of the community leaving the poor it crumbles. when i was bussed into a inner city school in 1970. one thing i noticed the day i got off the bus was the place was a dump. broken bottles, litter and delapidated buildings. what i remember was the library and all the history of the community. before the 60's and all this rainbow garbage. the community was just like any white community. they had community centers, pools, ball fields. hundreds and hundreds of kids having fun. it also had small business's. when i got there the same community was a dump in just over 10 years. thats what forced integration of the 60's brought. it also mirrors what boyd was talking about! did learn how to fight, never fought a day in my life till that trying to survive gangs of blacks baiting all of us. i learned nothing that year but how to survive. helped me wrestle as it made me more focused about suroundings. still do to this day.
It's not about the pay, it's about the attendance. If the Negro league has higher attendance figures and you want to get their attendees, the only way to bring the NL attendees to the non-Negro league is to bring the players to the NNL. If you bring the players, then you bring their audience. Capsice?
any other time I can't put NEGRO on these pages.. things like NEGRO PLEASE F U NEGRO but today it's okay hmmm NEGRO PLEEEZSE
Boyd's perspective is certainly an angle I've never thought of. However, I'm confused about his statement that his style transpired from the Negro Leagues, when the league was long gone before Boyd was even born. Am I missing something?

The St. Louis Cardinals completed phase one of their fine-tuning for 2013 when they signed left-handed relief specialist Randy Choate, 37, to a three-year contract worth $7.5 million. Next up are right-handed bench help and middle infield depth. "There is still some work to be done," said general manager John Mozeliak as he left the winter meetings in Nashville. "Where we are right now is good. We felt like we laid the groundwork to reach some of the things we needed to. We have a good picture of what's going on." Choate tied for the National League lead in appearances last season at 80 while splitting the season between the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers. He held left-handed batters to a .158 average and a .218 slugging percentage while striking out 30 of 116 left-handed hitters. The Cardinals had engaged in discussions with former Washington Nationals left-hander Sean Burnett but didn't want to match a Los Angeles Angels offer that will pay Burnett $8 million for tw...

Add a touch of beauty to your day with this pair. Designed with polished platinum or 18K yellow vermeil over sterling silver, these drop earrings showcase two pear briolette cut 20 x 15mm smoky quartz, white quartz, dyed aqua chalcedony quartz or pink chalcedony, green chalcedony, accented with six round diamond cut 1.75mm white sapphires. Each earring measures 1-3/8"L x 9/16"W and is secured by an omega backing.
Part of the Omar Torres Collection. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
With its uniquely mystical appearance, quartz was the "rock crystal" used in ancient times to make crystal balls. It was believed to attract energy and is still considered to be spiritual today. The gemstone was once believed to be a compact form of ice. In fact, the Greeks originally named quartz "krystallos," meaning ice, but this terminology soon applied to any type of crystal.
Often identified by its six-sided prism shape, quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, found in nearly every environment throughout the globe. With a ranking of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, it is a component of almost every rock type and occurs in virtually every color imaginable. Quartz has a great amount varieties that are well-known by other names, including amethyst, citrine, ametrine, rock crystal, agate, druzy, chalcedony, tigers eye and many more. There are also several varieties that hold the name "quartz," including rose quartz, smokey quartz and rutilated quartz.
The pale pink color of quartz is known as rose quartz, the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 2nd anniversary. It is a delicate powder pink color that ranges from transparent to translucent. Transparent rose quartz is quite rare and is usually so pale that it does not show much color, except in large sizes. The translucent quality of rose quartz is much more common and is used for jewelry and carvings.
Rose quartz is probably one of the most prized stones for its mystical properties. Known as the "Heart Stone," it is believed to have incredible powers to balance emotions and open the heart. Folklore says rose quartz can comfort brokenhearted people, bringing healing and clarity to the heart and allowing the wearer to learn to trust again. The stone is also said to foster happiness and the joy of life by bringing about contentment in love and filling one with optimism, tenderness and gentleness.
In addition to helping with romantic love, rose quartz is believed to enhance all other forms of love as well, including self-love, platonic and maternal. Its loving, nurturing energy is said to take away fears, resentment and anger and replace them with feelings of higher self-esteem and confidence. This soothing stone is also thought to balance emotions and heal emotional wounds. It is said to be especially powerful in times of stress or loss, bringing peace and calm to the wearer.
Ranging in color from nearly black to smoky brown, smoky quartz is transparent and owes its warm earthen hue to exposure to natural radioactivity. Care must be taken since its rich color will fade in the sun. Spelled either "smoky" or "smokey," this variety of quartz is often incorrectly called "smoky topaz."
Smoky quartz is believed to help dissolve negative energy, release stress and relieve depression. It is said to be a mild sedative with a relaxing effect that calms, soothes and restores balance and harmony. Folklore says the gem can embrace dark areas with light and love and therefore clear and cleanse the body both physically and emotionally. Smoky quartz is thought to be a warm, friendly and down-to-earth gem.
Rutilated quartz is a type of transparent rock crystal that contains long, fine needles of rutile crystals (titanium dioxide). These highly valued inclusions form a landscape of shining gold needles in an array of patterns that is breathtakingly beautiful. These golden inclusions are also known as Venus hair, Cupid's darts and fleches d'amour ("arrows of love"). There is a less well-known variety called tourmalinated quartz that, instead of golden rutile, forms black or dark green tourmaline crystals.
Although rutilated quartz is usually cut as a cabochon, it can be a difficult stone to attain a smooth surface without pits. This is because rutile ranks a 6.0 on the Mohs Scale, while quartz ranks 7.0. The difference in hardness between the two materials, and because of the way rutile forms inside, causes problems when cutting. Each final cut piece is unique, with no two being exactly alike. Modern folklore says rutilated quartz brings forth each person's strengths, originality and ability to relate to others.
Quartz that is formed not of one single crystal, but of finely grained microcrystals, is known as chalcedony. With a waxy, dull luster, the variety of chalcedony is even greater than transparent quartz varieties because it includes patterns and a wide range of solid colors. Chalcedony is a catchall term that includes many well-known varieties of quartz gemstones. Some kinds are so widespread in occurrence that they have been given individual names, including agate, carnelian, chrysoprase, bloodstone, onyx, flint, jasper and tiger's eye. Occurring in every imaginable color, chalcedony has a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale. It is most prominently found in Namibia, Brazil, Turkey, Uruquay, India, Madagascar and the United States.
Because of its abundance, durability and beauty, chalcedony was one of the earliest raw materials used by humankind. The earliest recorded use of chalcedony was for projectile points, knives, weapons, tools and containers such as cups and bowls. The move from using items as weapons and tools to using the same items for ceremonial and personal adornment is very easily made. It was only natural for early humans to use their finest-looking knives for special occasions or to attach a special lance point or arrowhead to their tunics. In fact, chalcedony may have simply been elevated to gems from common and functional weapons or tools.
The term chalcedony is derived from the Greek word meaning "Chalkedon," a town in Asia Minor. Legend has ascribed to it such powers as prevention and curing of melancholy and driving away evil spirits. It is said to stimulate maternal feelings and creativity. Chalcedony is also one of the stones listed as in the foundation of the Heavenly City, in Revelations of the Bible.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- The versatile and multi-talented Cedric "The Entertainer" returns to The Mahaffey stage and his roots in standup comedy for a special night of entertainment Friday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m.
Tickets start at $49.50 and will go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 27 at noon.

Cedric was recently named the new host of the iconic game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, replacing Meredith Viera in the 2013-2014 season - the show's 12th.

The system, an $8.4 million HP Integrity Superdome with 64 1.5GHz Itanium 2 processors running HP's version of Unix, achieved a score of 1,008,000 transactions per minute on the TPC-C test. HP had the previous top score for the test, 824,000, using a similar system but with half as much memory and a somewhat smaller storage system.
HP's 1-terabyte system--1,024 gigabytes--uses vastly more memory than most servers are typically equipped with. Most desktop computers today come with somewhere between two-thousandths to eight-thousandths that much.
HP and IBM have been fighting for the top spot in the TPC-C test, which simulates a warehouse tracking system with numerous transactions such as purchase orders. HP now holds the top three spots, with third place running a version of Microsoft Windows on a Superdome.
Sun Microsystems has bowed out of the race with the criticism that the test has become a distorted measurement of real-world challenges.

Recipe by Michele O'Sullivan
"Use this delicious dressing on a fresh green salad."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
plain yogurt
cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon
fresh lemon juice
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground white pepper
I haven't made this particular recipe, but I make one remarkably similar so thought I might suggest draining the cukes on a paper towel, using 1/2c sour cream & 1/2c yogurt & the ingredient I believe you're missing is sugar (to taste). You'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference it'll make. Enjoy.
I de-seeded the cucumber as others suggested but it was still watery. I don't think i will make this again.

Runny but tasty, and a bit bland. Needs dill or cayenne or something sprightly. A little anchovy paste would make it Ceasaresque. Fresh savory would be good too. A lot of the runnyness is from *over* blending - stop at the somewhat chunky Gaspacho stage and resist the temptation to hit the liquify button, otherwise you have... By golly, you have liquid cucumbers!
'Sweat' the cucumbers - peel, slice in half _lengthwise_, core, and cut halves into 1" crescents. Toss with a little salt and let pieces sweat in a collandar for a minimum 1 hr. Shake off the sweat (do not rinse, it's not salty any more) and queeze out whatever more water you can. Blend this and it will not be runny.
I did seed the cucumber, which appears to have eliminated the "runny" problem that another person described.
All in all, I enjoyed this dressing very much. It's a great, lite summer dressing.
This does turn out rather runny and I'd probably remove the seeds next time. But it works pretty well if you actually toss the salad in the dressing and coat the vegetables. Coincedentally, I found out that it's really tasty on potato chips as well.
I thought this recipe sounded great...very summery and light...but was very disappointed. I thought it was quite bland and couldn't quite figure out what it needed. But, to be fair, I did substitute regular pepper for white (didn't have any white on hand)and didn't measure all ingredients exactly. Still, I don't think that would have made a huge difference, as I did use all ingredients listed and used close to the amount recommended.
sorry, but i didn't like this dressing at all. it was runny, but that makes it easier to use a small amount. it was gritty and too strong in the pepper and garlic dept. i will not make this again.
Was very runny. Should I have seeded the cucumber? The recipe did not say.

World's largest ship weighs anchor at Tower Bridge
Published: Friday 30th of May 2008
The world's biggest cruise liner has sailed into the River Thames, casting a shadow over many London sightseeing landmarks such as Tower Bridge.
Able to carry nearly 700 passengers and 400 crew members, the gargantuan Azamara Journey has been floating through central London for the past few days, the Daily Mail reports.
Weighing around 30,000 tonnes, the vessel weighed anchor at Tower Bridge.
Azamara Cruises president and chief executive officer was quoted by the newspaper as saying that the ship "was expressly designed for travel enthusiasts who appreciate what a cruise vacation has to offer".
Amenities available onboard include butler service offered in every stateroom and suite, plasma TVs and luxury bedding.
The Azamara Journey was built in 2000 and had its maiden voyage in 2007, aimed at providing access to more unconventional ports.
London Pass holders have the option of enjoying a trip along the Thames with City Cruises, which operates from Westminster, Waterloo, Tower and Greenwich piers.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. A member of the mutant offshoot group the Neo. After the High Evolutionary, deeming the mutant population too dangerous, turned all mutants into baseline humans, several Neo, living peacefully in isolation, died, dependent upon their powers for what they were doing at the time. For an unknown reason, possibly hearing who caused the depowering and his reasons saw the X-Men's very public existence as the cause of the High Evolutionary's decision, Domina, whose daughter died underwater losing her ability to survive there, blamed the X-Men and sought vengeance against them. Barbican was a member of Domina's Warclan who fought the X-Men. Magneto approached the Neo and told them to join him in Genosha. They fought back and Magneto killed two of them. Domina then bowed before Magneto and agreed they would go with him. It is assumed Barbican joined them. It is unclear whether or not Barbican or any of the Neo survived Cassandra Nova's Sentinel assault on Genosha. If any survived, it would be assumed they lost their powers on M-Day.

Very singable in typical Carole KINGs vocal range2/10/2013 3:45pm
Great song for an alto or second soprano. Optional harmony lines are cued in small notes for second time through. Piano is in three sharps, key of A, so great for a guitar play along. Highest vocal note is the C above middle C, so this song is easily sung by females with an alto voice. The piano part is not difficult, and since the chords are noted, an intermediate pianist could leave out some of the embellishments or just jazz it up (improvize rhythms with the chords.)
