ISAF World Cup- Four to contest two Medal Races for New Zealand
by Sail-World on 27 Apr 2012
Racing in the Womens Windsurfer (RS:X) on the penultimate day in the SOF 2012 Jean-Marie Liot /DPPI/FFV
Four New Zealand sailors will contest two Medal Races on the final day of the fourth round of the ISAF World Sailing Cup currently underway at Hyeres, France.
Strong winds returned for the final day of fleet racing, with the conditions causing a few withdrawals, including New Zealand's Dan Slater, but also 2008 Olympic Gold medalists, Iain Percy and Bart Simpson (GBR) in the Mens Two Handed Keelboat (Star) event when they broke their mast.
In the
Mens Singlehander (Laser)
Andrew Murdoch was the best performed of the New Zealanders scoring a sixth and third place on thr penultimate day of the regatta to lift back up into third place on the points table. He lies just one place, and one point, ahead of compatriot, Andy Maloney.
Murdoch, who has already been named as the 2012 Olympic Representative in the event, will have his work cut out to stay ahead of Maloney in the double scoring Medal Race. Murdoch is four points astern of the second placed competitor Phillip Buhl (GER) meaning that he will have to finish three places ahead, to take the Silver medal. Maloney meanwhile is only three points ahead of the fifth placed competitor - and Tom Burton (AUS) will need to beat one or both New Zealanders, by at least two places if he is to get amongst the medal action.
In the
Mens Heavyweight Singlehander (Finn)
Dan Slater (NZL) slipped another place in the overall standings, and now lies in fifth place overall after placing 13th in race 6 and then failing to finish in Race 7. After making a good start to the regatta, Slater was at one stage in third overall, but could not hold this level of performance through to the end of the regatta. Matt Coutts (NZL) held onto his eighth place overall, after scoring seventh and 12th places in the two races sailed today. Slater is the only one of the pair to have a chance of getting into the medals, but would need to beat Australia's Brendan Casey by six places in the ten boat Medal Race fleet - which would be a massive effort from the New Zealander.
Mens HP Skiff (49er)
did not race due to the conditions. The disqualification of the New Zealand crew of Peter Burling and Blair Tuke from Race 7, coupled with a soft end to their regatta has resulted in the 2012 Olympic representatives failing to make the cut for the Medal Race. A second NZ crew of Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski also did not race, and have of course retained their fourth overall in the Silver Fleet, or 29th overall in the combined fleet.
Womens Windsurfer (RS:X)
Natalia Kosinska (NZL) finished her regatta with two 18th places in the two races sailed and missed the cut for the Medal Race by just one place when she finished 11th overall.
In the
Womens Match Racing (Elliott 7)
the NZL crew helmed by Stephanie Hazard were unable to race because of the conditions, and if racing is also not possible on the final day, it will make an interesting dilemma for regatta officials. Currently the NZL crew lie in the middle of the fleet with six wins and were looking to progress by virtue of further race wins and then making the repechage phase of the event.
The Semaine Olympique Francaise, or simply Hyères as it is commonly known is the fourth of seven regattas in the 2011-12 ISAF Sailing World Cup series. Over 900 sailors from 55 nations are competing in Hyères, France, however the fleets are significantly weaker in quality in some events due to the fact that many countries have elected not to send their top competitors, many of whom competed in the third round of the ISAF World Cup in Hyeres earlier in the month.
Live Tracking of the medal races is accessible through the Hyeres Regatta website, the Finn race will be at 10:15am (9:15pm NZT) and Laser 12:15pm (11:15pm NZT).

text: Just a minor correction: I see one of my photos is featured in the Ireland Travel Guide for the Ring of Kerry. I realized that it's not actually the Ring of Kerry but, in fact, Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula (oops). I changed the title of the photo but maybe it should be moved down the page where the Dingle Peninsula is mentioned or another photo in place of it or something? I'd do it myself, but I think I would mess it up somehow!

Taoiseach reiterates warning over public sector pay strikes
TAOISEACH BRIAN Cowenrepeated his warning about public sector pay strikes.
He said he understood from media reports that the public services committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions had signalled that it was considering a "long and sustained'' campaign of industrial action. "I regret this development and hope that any action undertaken does not adversely impact on the delivery of public services, especially at a time when we need to ensure that we make best use of the limited resources at our disposal to protect services to the most vulnerable in our society and that we do not create obstacles to economic recovery,'' he added.
Mr Cowen said that the Government continued to believe in the value of social dialogue as a way to maximise common understanding and engagement with all sectors.
"The inability to achieve consensus, although regrettable, does not alter the fact that the savings are essential,'' he added.
"The Government must act in the interests of all our citizens.'' Labour's Róisín Shortallsaid that the Government had taken a unilateral decision that led to the collapse of the pay talks.
"In many ways, that decision by the Taoiseach sounded the death knell of social partnership,'' she added.
"Is it not the case that the Taoiseach was within touching distance of an historic agreement that would have provided for radical reform of the public service?''
Ms Shortall said it was known from the various documents put into the public arena in recent days that radical reform, particularly in the areas of education and health, had been signed up to and that the Taoiseach had blown it for his own political reasons.
"Is it not regrettable that he chose to put short-term political expediency ahead of the national interest?'' she added.
Mr Cowen insisted that, on the contrary, it was not about political expediency.
"I did not, in any expedient way, seek to avoid agreement,'' said Mr Cowen.
"What we had to have was a permanent reduction and an ability to see beyond 2010 . . . that a reduction would be of that magnitude and that further reductions would be possible and further contributions from the changed programme would be able to be made.'' Mr Cowen said that he could understand the negotiating position of the unions.
"They had come with a very restrictive mandate and that was not to accept pay cuts, reductions in rates of pay,'' he added.

Quarterback Luke Del Rio has enrolled at Valor Christian High School, according to Rod Sherman, the school's athletic director.
Del Rio, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound transfer from Florida, is the son of Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. The family was deciding between Cherry Creek and Valor Christian.
In Florida, Luke Del Rio attended Episcopal, a private school in the Jacksonville area, last season. He transferred after his father was hired by the Broncos. Del Rio threw for 2,530 yards, with 20 touchdowns against 18 interceptions, last season. Episcopal, a Class 3A school, went 3-9.
Considered a top quarterback prospect, Del Rio has drawn recruiting interest from Alabama, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Southern Mississippi and Southern California, according to Rivals.com.
Valor Christian is making the move up to Class 5A next season. The Eagles have won three consecutive state championships, including the past two 4A titles.
Del Rio should fit right in as the projected starter. The Eagles graduated both quarterbacks who split time as starter last season — Cody Thibault and Wes Tabor — and do not have any returning player with experience at the position.

text: During the past couple of days I have noticed log entries showing that spamassassin's daemon refused connections from spamc on our two mail servers. Today, our local mail server was so bogged down I was forced to reset it. When 'initd' got to spamassassin, the server just hung and would not continue the boot process. I waited for almost five minutes but it didn't time out or continue. I was forced to mount the drive in another system without local mail services (only nullmailer) and disable the /etc/rcX.d/S19spamassassin links for spamd. Just as a precaution, I disabled spamassassin on the remote server as well. I have not yet tried to simply turn off spamd in /etc/defaults/spamassassin but have one non-critical server I can try this in. Unfortunately, I don't quite know how to force a Debian server to stay in runlevel 1 during the boot process. If anyone knows why this was happening and/or how to fix it, I would be most appreciative.

People are always asking me why their products are not selling. A lot of the time there is nothing wrong. Usually they are in a saturated market where there is a lot of competition. Then they don't know what to do with the inventory they have sitting around. The answer is often simple – repurpose it. I'll explain what I mean.
Christmas Ornaments Become Vase Fillers
The other day I was speaking to someone who had these beautiful acorn cap Christmas ornaments that were rolled in silver glitter. Really stunning. But Christmas is over and no one is buying ornaments so what to do. I told the vendor to sell the ornaments as vase fillers (just remove the ribbon). Vase fillers have been a decorative trend for years now and these ones, because of adding the glitter (which just happens to be a big trend in 2013 – please see my post Product Trends for 2013) made them a unique entry in this market.
Necklace Pendants Become Drawer Pulls
Another person I was speaking with sells these lovely stoneware necklace pendants. At first look, I thought some of the round and square ones would actually make really beautiful and unique drawer pulls, especially for a kitchen or bathroom or on a rustic piece of furniture. Again, another possible revenue stream for the same product by simply repurposing.
Crocheted Slippers Become Bridal Slippers
Another person was asking why their crochet slippers were not selling. When I looked at the white ones they were offering, they reminded me of the white crocheted TOMS shoes that have become a huge wedding trend for brides to wear at the reception (on the TOMS website they have a section now called Wedding Collection as a result). So simply add a few pearls and start selling to the bridal market.
My point is, don't give up on products that are not selling. They could have a new, very lucrative life in another form.
NEW SERVICE! My Product Consultation: I am offering a new service called my Product Consultation. It is very difficult to be objective about your own products because you are too close to them. So, if you have items that are just not selling and you don't know why, please get more information here.

Solid Return For Cardiff City Starlet Ralls
Cardiff City's mounting injury list meant a surprise return for talented youngster Joe Ralls to the bench when Hull City visited CCS last weekend. Ralls, Kiss, Conway and Frei provided midfield cover from the bench so he would not have expected to feature - though was presumably gald to return to the matchday squad.
However, injury to right back Kevin McNaughton was unforeseen and the only position on the field for which specialist cover was not available. He and Connolly have shared the right-back duties following the departure of Darcy Blake but with Connolly ruled out, and McNaughton injured during the game - City turned to Aron Gunnarsson to fill in.
That left a gap in midfield, which was initially filled by Slovakian Filip Kiss - another casualty of Mackay's star-studded squad who was only selected in the matchday sixteen following injuries to Tommy Smith, Craig Bellamy, Jordon Mutch and Don Cowie. Kiss lasted just 25 minutes before being withdrawn at the break. There has been talk of a hamstring injury but the replacement may also have been due to tactical reasons as we lacked any presence in midfield and were over-run by the Tigers.
Ralls, however, did a good job. He recognised that he was not required to add creativity or flair with Whittingham, Noone and Kim alongside him. Instead, he kept things simple, tidy but covered a lot of ground and did a good job for his side. It was only his 2nd league appearance of the season but his only other 10 minute cameo came way back in August - replacing Jordon Mutch for the final minutes of a 4-2 win over Bristol City.
As it happens, it was against Hull City that Ralls made his first ever league appearance - a debut not to be forgotten as he smashed a stunning goal - but City eventually lost the game 2-1. It was this time last year that Ralls enjoyed a prolonged run in the first team, making regular substitutes appearances through November before gaining a starting position in December through to the New Year. Even with City's lengthy injury list - that sort of run seems unlikely this season and Ralls seemed a good candidate for a loan spell to gain some valuable first team experience.
However, we need Ralls available at the moment and he showed he can certainly do a job. He is young, but reads the game well and certainly has the technical ability to make an impression at this level.

State Property
This Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA-based rap crew was launched in 2001 by Beanie Sigel. After getting his solo career started in the late 90s with his 1999 debut The Truth, Sigel set out to form a group of his own that would be modelled after the crew that backed Dr. Dre on his landmark recording, The Chronic. Sigel did not have to look far to put together the outfit, as he kept his search to the streets of his home-town of Philadelphia. Joining Sigel in the original State Property line-up were Freeway, Oschino, Omillio Sparks, and the duo Young Gunz. The quintets debut, State Property, was released at the end of 2001. The album also served as a soundtrack for a straight to video movie of the same name, which featured all of the groups members. State Propertys line-up expanded soon afterwards with the addition of Peedi Crakk. The crews The Chain Gang Vol. II was released in summer 2003, shortly after Freeways star-studded US Top 10...

Meet Doug, the extreme filmmaker
DRIFTING IN the freezing waters off northern Canada in 1998 with camera in hand, wildlife photographer Doug Allan was grabbed around the waist by a famished walrus.
Sheer instinct prompted Doug to take a swipe at the mammal, which loosed its flippers from his body and swam away, before turning around to look quizzically at his strange prey.
Over 40 years as a wildlife photographer and cameraman Doug has had many brushes with death and extreme conditions, but this memory is more vivid than most.
'The walrus came and grabbed me, having mistaken me for a seal. They are big mammals and have dangerous tusks. I hit him and he let his flippers go. If he had taken me down I was a goner.'
Doug will give a talk about his fascinating career at St Michael's Theatre, New Ross, on Wednesday, September 25, at 8 p.m.
Described by Sir David Attenborough as the toughest photographer in the wildlife photography business, Doug is best known for his work on the hugely successful BBC series Life, Human Planet, Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Frozen Planet and Ocean Giants.
Over the course of his career, the multiple Emmy and Bafta award-winning wildlife cameraman and photographer has been to some of the most inhospitable places on the planet, and on this national tour he'll share stor ies about diving under ice, being near polar bears, filming at minus 40C, swimming with humpback whales in Tong,a and Weddell seals under the ice in the Antarctic, among many more.
From Scotland, Doug's love of the water and extreme sports was evident from his childhood.
'I got into diving when I was in school, which led me on to study marine biology, and then I read about this guy who was working as a diver in the Antarctic and wrote to him and he told me how to get a job with the British Antarctic Survey.'
He got the job in 1976 and spent 18 months living there. 'It was a phenomenal way to live. There were 11 of us stationed there. We used to dive in the ice.'
He was based at Signy Island in the South Orkneys. The job entailed helping the scientists to carry out their underwater studies – from boats in the summer, beneath the ice in the winter.
Doug said he adapted well to his new environment, learning some skills which would one day prove very useful to him as he pursued a different career path.
'The cold is not the easiest to deal with but I prefer it to the warmth when you have bugs and leeches. Spending time in uncomfortable places is par for the course being a wildlife filmmaker. There are times when it gets very, very cold in the Antarctic and it will gnaw away at your soul.'
Doug picked up a movie camera in the 1980s and the rest is history.
'I learned how to keep my fingers warm and move over snow and ice. All these camerawork tricks came as second nature to me when I needed them after.'
Doug fell in love with the medium of storytelling through film and learned to cut and edit his clips.
He had plenty of time to hone his skills, as for eight months of the year he was virtually stranded at his workplace base.
'Summer in the Antarctic is from mid November to mid March. That is when the British Antarctic survey ships would be around. By the end of March the temperatures would start to fall and all the ships would head north to the UK. There was no access to the bases for almost nine months. There were fewer people and you are not in a rush trying to get everything done. We could go out exploring and I became used to being in the sea and on ice.'
It was while living and working in the Antarctic in the 1980s that Doug first crossed paths with David Attenborough.
'He was responsible for me getting into wildlife films. I was working as a diver and David and the film crew came to our base for a day. They were shooting scenes for Living Planet. We caught fish for them. I went into the water and filmed this fish for him. As I worked with his crew I began to realise that they were having a really good time. I saw the cameraman was finding the going difficult and I helped him.'
He said the meeting with David Attenborough opened his eyes to the possibilities of wildlife filming as a career.
'David has been the big name in every phase of wildlife film. He was there from the very start of the genre and he's still there. He has celebrated 60 years of being involved in wildlife media from black and white to 3D. Nobody will surpass that.'
A decade later Doug worked with his newfound friend on a BBC programme called Life In The Freezer.
'David was the presenter and I just came into this work when the BBC started doing these big series. I have been involved with all the major series over the past 20 years.'
He said he works freelance so he can be commissioned by different companies to do work.
'I wrote a book. I do "talkie tours" – that's another string to my bow. I'm trying to get the public inspired about the natural world and to get them inspired by wildlife filmmaking.'
Now 62, Doug still travels to the Antarctic every year for a few months.
'I travel to South America and sail from near Tierra del Fuego in southern Argentina to the Antarctic Mountains. I love going back because it's so scenically attractive. There are lots of penguins and seals. I go to different parts of the Antarctic.'
Comparing the North Pole to the South Pole, he said: 'On the North Pole you're standing on a frozen ocean. You are at sea level and on ice about 15 feet thick. At the South Pole you are standing in the middle of a frozen continent on ice about 10,000 feet thick.'
Describing the feeling of standing on the South Pole as being like standing on a high mountain, he said you become short of breath.
'It's much colder than the North Pole. The warmest temperature would be –20C but it goes down to –75C. It's very hostile and there is nothing there. Over the past 60 years only two birds have been seen there by the observatory.'
Through his company Tartan Dragon Ltd he films for broadcast and for his stock library. He lives in Bristol, and continues to work successfully with Sue Flood. He has one son by a previous marriage, Liam, who's 17.
Doug has contributed to numerous radio shows. His audio diary recordings while he made his 'Wildlife Special: Polar Bear' became an acclaimed radio programme in their own right. Over the years, he's also written numerous articles about wildlife and his experiences, and two children's books. In February 2012 he published his first book, Freeze Frame, a collection of polar pictures and experiences.
'That book was a long time in the making. I didn't know how to write it. I didn't want to write a typical biography as I wanted to say something about the photographs. Then I had a brainwave that I could write short stories around the images and include bits and pieces about my life along the way.'
He also focused on the mammals and birds he encountered on his trips.
But he likes the challenge of filming people as well as animals, and has done documentary sync shooting for many programmes, including assignments with Discovery along the length of the Andes, to the deserts of Africa and to the upper reaches of Mount Everest.
In 2011 he filmed and was a presenter for the BBC series Ocean Giants about whales worldwide.
The show at St Michael's Theatre, New Ross, on Wednesday, September 25, focuses on Doug's time at the Arctic and the Antarctic.
'People will learn about how different both places are. I'll be speaking about the coldest and driest place on earth when I talk about the Antarctic and I'll speak about the Emperor penguins and show clips from the movies.'
He will also discuss problems at both poles due to climate change. Following a short break the talk will resume with a discussion about the environment underneath the ice and how seals live in the extreme conditions. Following this there will be an informal questions and answers session with the crowd.
'I have had five- and 85-year-olds at the shows and as far as I know no one has fallen asleep or left early,' Doug said.

Dez Bryant is up and running. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the receiver has "made progress" in his rehab of a fractured right fibula, advancing to a little running.
"He's going through his rehab, and it's been a positive experience for him," Garrett said Thursday at the combine in Indianapolis. "We have great people with the Cowboys who take him through that stuff. It's getting better."
Bryant was injured Dec. 5 on a kickoff return in the Cowboys' 38-35 overtime victory over the Colts in Indianapolis. He had surgery the next day to have a plate inserted in his right leg to stabilize the bone. He was put on injured reserve after making 45 catches for 561 yards and six touchdowns. He also scored twice on punt returns.

Me chowing down on the old drunk-mop German-specialty: Currywurst! (Whilst discussing : food, politics, Mitch Lucker, meat, thew next Trivium record, and more)
Oberhausen, Germany
Robert, Trivium's pal from Warsaw had flown in to visit us all in Oberhausen, and he found just the kind of dinner spot we needed. Gdanska is a very traditional Polish place in Oberhausen; having just returned from Poland right before being in Oberhausen, I felt as if I were warped directly back to Warsaw. The same newspaper-menu, flyers advertising Polish concerts and artists adorned the walls. The place felt as if Grandma's long-tabled dining area was somewhat punk-rock-ized.

Germany does Christmas Markets unlike any place I've ever personally seen. In the States – yeah, we have shop windows that are all done up with plastic Rudolphs and dressed-up bearded-bikers with kids on their laps in the middles of malls; but in Germany – there are some seriously done-up little X-mas towns. Oberhausen I heard was known as having one of the best Christmas markets in Germany, so it was perfect that we had a day off there on the In Flames European tour. Continue reading
There are only a handful of events in a person's lifetime that can be considered as life-changing. For me, there are a few instances recently that truly stand out as something monumental… where I actually recall being in that moment thinking to myself "this is unbelievable… this is really something special." The sort of moment where you know that maybe this will never happen again – and thankfully you were able to step outside of yourself for a moment and quietly observe the magic happening at that moment. Continue reading
We arrived in Munich and awoke early, knowing we had a big food day ahead of us. Paolo and I met up with Ela and Dennis, and headed out front of the venue to meet with Laurent – a long-time supporter and worker of/for Trivium. Laurent is initially from France, living in Germany. He is responsible for much of the amazingness behind Trivium's internet presence. He has worked alongside Trivium for years and years, helping get our word digital and online – he's an invaluable ally to the Trivium organization, and it was time to grab a bite with him in his old stomping grounds. Continue reading
Having just wrapped up two mind-blowing shows in Sweden with In Flames (Stockholm had around 7,000 people; Gothenburg over 8,000), I flew into Germany a day early before the bus to meet up with some of my old friends. Ela and Dennis are two of Trivium's biggest supporters and closest pals – if I am retelling the story completely accurately (and I hope I am) – I think the two of them met through the Trivium fan club, eventually began dating; created a "Trivium Car" (you may have seen that in press or in Germany); then eventually got married. Beautiful story if I do say so myself. I can confidently say that a Trivium show in Germany is not a Trivium show in Germany without them around – so it's always a treat to see the two.

text: BlackListedB 86 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) We don't really have a thread for 'all things considered', in the Gaming press (ie.) Publication department..... In other words, all articles or notable magazine features on GTA5 could be noted here in one thread so no one misses a beat. So far, the notable headlines on magazine covers elude to more then meets the eye.... In capturing the here and now... GAMES TM magazine features a GTA 5 article out on news-stands at this time that claims of some breaking news, yet, inside it's only real new to online game fans section is offering up the theory or rumor that the RAGE engine is being extensively re-written and that there's some technical foibles in the way with making GTA 5 run as expected. I noted earlier that the evolution with RAGE and Euphoria has already proven itself with Max Payne and Red Dead Redemption, However, the delays that included GTA IV were because of the engine, one could argue. It's also subject to debate over the RAGE engine being a contributing factor to no PC version of RDR ...just yet. Games TM's major article contribution is putting forth the first two screen shots for discussion, they must have gone to press before the additional shots we've seen already, however, they kinda hit the nail on the head about the ongoing LACK of info and fans like us feeling shut out. Trying to start a new GTA forum as we did (GTAC, in regard to me and PCguytech) After GTA IV, proves much harder with an actual drought on further GTA info. The PS magazine PLAY I was unable to report on due to it being sold in a sealed bag, but they claim breaking news about Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4 as well as Grand Theft Auto Five!! I'd love to see what that is, but I couldn't afford a 10 dollar magazine, but would probably splurge when two great games are featured, it's just unknown to what extent Edited October 13, 2012 by BlackListedB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Rucker: A letter to my friend, Judge John Hyde
Published 1:49 pm, Saturday, January 7, 2012
How do I say goodbye to a man who was like a big brother to me? Other than my parents, no person has made such a difference in my life as you have. It is said that the high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship is that one has to explain nothing. Such was the friendship we shared.
You welcomed me when I returned to Midland to begin the practice of law. You nurtured me, generously giving me your sage advice and counsel. Without reluctance and never with a thought of remuneration, you associated yourself on several of my cases when I asked for your help. I still am in awe of the way you could cross-examine witnesses in your gentle but firm manner, never once raising your voice, and get the most hostile of witnesses to answer your questions. You taught me the meaning of the honorable practice of law.
You were the first to call and urge me to seek the bench, and you were there with me the day I was sworn into office. Two short years later, you took the bench. Thus began 22 years of a fulfilling professional partnership. We were joined by judges of the highest caliber over those years. With great pride, we often would tell others that the judges of this courthouse had the finest law firm in town. You and I have been through a lot together — welcoming new judges to the courthouse and saying goodbye to trusted colleagues as they retired or went on to their reward. I will miss our almost daily talks. We covered the waterfront in our discussions. I found peace in your company.
You made me laugh, hard and often. I still laugh out loud when I think about some of your funny stories and satirical musings on life. Your satire was always spot-on and masterful. You were a modern-day Will Rogers. What I remember most was that your humor was self-deprecating and never at the expense of others. What a gift.
You loved children and had an uncanny ability to relate to them no matter their age. Whenever my boys came to the courthouse with me, the first place they wanted to go was to your office to see you. You always took the time to visit with them, and you made them feel special.
You always had my back. When I faced challenging decisions or took a difficult stance, you always stood beside me, strong and unwavering. When I made mistakes, you showed me the grace to find a way to make things better. When my wife became so ill those many years ago, it was you who first spoke words of comfort, and you helped make sure that the work of the court would go on in my absence while I took care of her.
When cancer found you, you never complained about the hand you were dealt. You showed the rest of us how to live life to the fullest and with purpose. A few weeks ago, I sought your counsel about a very difficult decision I was making. I didn't know that you were as ill as you were, and, of course, you never would have let on about such things. Without hesitation, you came through for me, and once again, your wisdom saved the day. Throughout your illness, you taught me more about courage than anyone else in my life.
Even in the hospital, you worried about others: your family, your friends and your co-workers. You looked forward to returning to the job you loved and resuming your duties. Alas, it was not to be, but even as you faded from this world, your focus was on all of us. I have been told that on your final day, though the rest of your body was failing, your heart still beat strong. Of course it did. Yours was a servant's heart!
We both loved movies, and "To Kill a Mockingbird" was one of our favorites. We know Atticus Finch as the noble, strong and honorable attorney of impeccable integrity and uncompromising ethics, who is appointed to represent Tom Robinson, a black man unjustly accused of a heinous crime. Defying the racial prejudice of the townspeople, Atticus gives his all in representing Tom. I am reminded of the scene in which, after the jury convicts Tom, and as the courtroom clears, Atticus gathers his papers and walks down the aisle in defeat. The black citizens in the balcony stand to show dignified respect as Atticus passes through the courtroom door. The Rev. Sykes alerts Finch's daughter, Scout, to stand in his honor, telling her, "Stand up. Your father's passin'." This week, our entire community stood in honor of your faithful service and your greatness. You are one of our heroes and one of the most honorable men I have ever known. You are my Atticus Finch.
W. B. Yeats, the great Irish poet, wrote, "Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends." I thank God I had such a friend as you. You were one of the truest, closest and dearest friends I will ever have. I miss you more than words can express. Although I find it difficult to come to grips with your physical absence, I take comfort in knowing that your spirit lives on in my heart and the hearts of those who loved you.
Until we meet again.

Okay so I'll ATTEMPT to explain this thoroughly because I desperately need help!
I have an online game running on Java on a server with many players on it, and I want to have HighScores for the game using MySQL. When I run a query to connect to the MySQL, it temporarily 'lags' (delays) the server for roughly 5 seconds while it connects. It connects about once every minute or two. This is a BIG deal for my game. It can't do that.
So, what I thought of doing, is having a slave Java program to do all the MySQL work, so it will only delay the slave and not the master server. They will both be running on the same computer, though.
Does anyone have any idea how I'd go about doing this?
I don't even need to return the variable to the master server, just have the master server send a command to the slave to do the MySQL. This is because I want to have the player's stats on the online game uploaded to the MySQL data table so it can be displayed on the website.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edit: Am I thinking too hard? For MySQL can I just use http post..? I just read about and it seems I can just be like, example pseudo: connect(website.com/sql.php?hs1=1&hs2=1) or something along those lines then have it add it to the database and that will not cause any lag?

Your POV >>>
You woke up by the sound of an alarm clock. It made you sit up immedidately, you were having a nightmare. You angrily glanced at the clock that had awoken you.
You forgot to turn the alarm off yesterday. For today was Saturday.
But you were saved from a faceless man haunting your dreams.
You are obsessed with Creepypasta, and this was your first nightmare about them. Even though you were interested in them a year ago...
You throw the (color) blanket aside and jump downstairs.
Your parents have been away for two days, but the total amount of days they said were seven.
You were free to do whatever you wanted! So you jumped on the computer chair in the living room and opened the laptop on the desk in front of you.
~what should I do?...~ your mind wandered a bit, then you thought about your dream, and decided to visit Creepypasta.com
There were all the favorite stories your friends were talking about:
BEN, (your favorite) Slenderman, The Rake, Maskey, Eyeless Jack, and many others.
But there was one you were unfamiliar with
Jeff the Killer
You checked the date it was uploaded.
"Five minutes ago..." it read.
You were sure that you probobly aren't the first to read it, but your curiosity got the better of you, and you clicked on Jeff the Killer.
A long story was written on the screen. You had nothing else to do, so you read.
She's reading it. The story. Why would anyone want to read that? Even I'm scared to read it.
It's so tragic
But it really happened.
I was there.
In fact,
It's MY story.
Do I let her finish reading it, or pop out from the closet I'm in and sneak up on her?
I opened the door a crack silently and saw her scrolling through the story slowly. She is indeed reading it.
Then my photo was scrolled up.
She gasps and covers her mouth. Her (e/c) eyes were visible now that her eyelids were wide open.
She looks around. Probobly for me. Her expression was the same as when she saw the photo.
Now's my chance -----wait a second.
Your POV>>>
You pull out your phone and dial (best friend's name).
It rang two times before she/he picked up.
"_____! Have you read the new CP?!" you were scared.
"No... What's it about?!" Her voice was excited all of a sudden.
"Just read for yourself." you were still looking around.
"I'm on the website now. What's the name?"
You glanced at the screen. Then went back to your call.
"Jeff the Killer." you panicked.
A long pause. This didn't help your patience.
"PHAHAHAHAHA!!! This guy looks like The Joker in a Barney costume! Hahahahahaa!"
You stared at the floor for a bit, "Hey! It's not THAT funny! This guy looks scary but he seems like he's been through alot!" You scold her. You Imagine losing your mind and killing your family. It's no laughing matter.
"Wait... Don't ruin the story! I'll text you when I read it okay?"
It frightened you.
"Okay." you clenched your teeth in fear then hung up.
You looked around again. Then turned into a ball and sat for five minutes in fear.
Jeff's POV>>>
She actually cares about me...but it doesn't matter because she didn't meet me in person.
NOW I can surprise her.
I tap on the door just to scare her.
She gasps and looks right at the closet. Then I creak the door open,
And she screams when she saw my face.
End of part 1

Britney Spears: Is That Actually Her on "Scream & Shout"?by Free Britney at . Comments
Britney Spears' collab with will.i.am doesn't sound anything like any other Britney song ... something Eve attributes to the theory that it's not actually her.
Yes, "Scream & Shout" is sung by an impostor, she insinuated.
"I heard it might not be Britney," Eve told Bravo's Andy Cohen when asked what she thought of the song. "That's what I heard, but you know, I don't know."
"It could be Britney. But I heard it wasn't."
Jeff Raymond, Britney Spears' rep, called Eve's claim "absolute BS ... Britney sang the song. Will.i.am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."
A recording studio source later told TMZ, "Was Eve even in Studio. Didn't know. She's clearly jealous. I didn't even know she still sings." BURN.
What do you think? Is it really Britney?

Just to update, and in response to inquiries and well-wishes, I am fine. I'm wrapping up my leave, sitting in the USO in Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport and feeling grateful for the support of such fine people. The process of arriving and checking in has changed a bit since 2007, but the USO volunteers can't get their arms around a Soldier quickly enough. They guide the Soldier quickly, walking with him, to where he needs to be; and then they promise to be there if he needs anything else.
You can read he as she, Soldier as Sailor, Airman or Marine… the constant is the USO volunteer.
Leave is too short. The children are awesome. Each is a gift alone; together a treasure beyond all imagining. They are what give me the humanity to see the child in the world. Some may not need to be brought by children to see such verities, but for me they are that lens.
As for the absence, I'd prefer not to make excuses. I have seen and learned so much on this tour… and it's only half over. I've learned a lot more about counterinsurgency. I've gotten snapshots of a lot of behaviors in the field. I've seen a lot of great developments that I've not been sure of being clear to write about.
There have also been frustrations.
I needed leave.
Well, now that leave is over, where does the quest lead? We shall see soon enough… but back to the keyboard would be a good start.
Seeing the world through the eyes of a child requires a special talent. You are that type. I'm not alone in that opinion, I'm sure.
Separation from your children for another six months only makes reunion that much sweeter. Blessed, you and they are.
The struggle with the application of COIN will be an ongoing process as there are humans involved. None are perfect, and each one will bring their own perceptions to the table. Still, interesting times to be found.
As you continue your quest with this journey out of the stone age, your keyboard allows many to travel the same paths you tread/trod. That's always a good thing. Fellow sojourners help keep the bumps along the way bearable.
Welcome back…we've missed you.
Safe travels on the next leg.
Your are at the Atlanta Airport, 30 miles away…damn. I would have dropped by and bought you a beer. Sorry I missed you.
Well welcome back to blogosphere. I thought you must have punched out a fobbit and were doing hard time in Kuwait
It is so wonderful to 'hear' from you! Thank God! I've heard a little about the changes in ROE and if true, I am going to be calling some people tomorrow. I want some answers. Such as…oh yeah. Can't say. Grrr. It's still great to 'hear' from you.

One common myth about wine is that you need special wine glasses for each different kind of wine. It is not, however, a wine myth that a lot of people adhere to — probably because so few people can afford to have different wine glasses for each kind of wine. Unfortunately, this seems to create a backlash in which people decide that if they aren't going to have different glasses for each wine, then any old glass is good enough for drinking wine. A little wine glass moderation is needed here.
The single most important thing you need to pay attention to when choosing the right wine glasses is the wine glass shape. The wrong shape in a wine glass will completely alter the wine tasting experience, even to the point where you can't properly examine or smell the wine in order to evaluate it. You don't necessarily need to get a different glass for every type of wine - though that is possible - but you should try to have a different glass shape for white wine, red wine, and sparkling wine.
It makes no sense spending the money for even moderately priced wine glasses if you aren't going to care for them properly. A good wine glass can be quickly transformed into a poor wine glass through incorrect care. Fortunately, the necessary steps for proper care of wine glasses are all very easy to remember and follow.
Yes, wine glasses really can make a big difference in how wine tastes. In principle, you can use anything to drink wine out of and if you're drinking especially cheap wine, it's unlikely that your choice of glass will make much difference. To really get the most out of good wine, though, you should pick your wine glass with care and attention. The more care you give to buying and tasting wine, the more care you should give to having the right wine glasses.

I ride a bike almost every day. I have done trail riding on a mountain bike and would love to pick my way along some single track up the mountains out west. Slowly. I have no desire to do this.
The whole time I was watching I was wondering just how far away the nearest hospital was.

I believe the video is artificially sped-up. A lot. That 4 1/2 minute run likely took closer to 10 minutes (or more).
Still... you won't find me doing that kind of riding, either.

Earlier the preset options were completely ignored after custom filter chain options had been seen. * xz will create sparse files when decompressing if the uncompressed data contains long sequences of binary zeros. * Support for "xz --list" was added. Combine with --verbose or --verbose --verbose (-vv) for detailed output. * I had hoped that liblzma API would have been stable after 4.999.9beta, but there have been a couple of changes in the advanced features, which don't affect most applications: - Index handling code was revised. If you were using the old API, you will get a compiler error (so it's easy to notice). - A subtle but important change was made to the Block handling API. lzma_block.version has to be initialized even for lzma_block_header_decode(). Code that doesn't do it will work for now, but might break in the future, which makes this API change easy to miss. * The major soname has been bumped to 5.0.0. liblzma API and ABI are now stable, so the need to recompile programs linking against liblzma shouldn't arise soon.

Mortazavi, Karroubi exchange pleasantries
Tabnak | March 8, 2010
A cordial encounter and exchange of pleasantries between opposition cleric Mehdi Karroubi and Judge Saeed Mortazavi surprised attendees of a memorial ceremony in Tehran.
On Saturday afternoon, Karroubi and Mortazavi attended a memorial service held in the Nour Mosque in Tehran's Fatemi Square. Those present were extremely surprised to see Karroubi and Mortazavi kiss and warmly exchange pleasantries.
In an open letter not too long ago, Mehdi Karroubi accused the Islamic Republic of failing to take appropriate precautions to prevent jail rapes and the [kind of] atrocities that took place in the substandard Kahrizak Detention Center.
The Majlis truth-finding committee concluded its report by naming Mortazavi as the main suspect in the Kahrizak case.
Tehran Prosecutor: Peaceful protesters not rioters
Khabar Online | March 8, 2010
Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari-Dolatabadi said a critic who participates in protests without committing a crime cannot be considered a rioter.
"A critic who speaks and writes articles and participates in calm protests without vandalism and commits no crime and is not considered a rioter," he said.
He went on to describe rioting as inciting people to riot along with arson and vandalism. "Rioting is accompanied by committing crimes and its methods are also criminal," he explained.
"There is a clear distinction between criticism and revenge. When protesting there is no crime committed but rioting is coupled with crime and a prosecutor's job is to prevent rioting and [then] fighting it.... Society and media have the right to criticize and this is one of the responsibilities of media."
Ashura detainee's lawyer says client's death sentence unconfirmed
Tabnak | March 6, 2010
Mohammad Amin Valian's lawyer rejected reports carried by a number of websites claiming his client's death sentence had been passed.
"Mohammad Amin Valian was sentenced by branch 15 of the Revolution Court to death and some websites reported that the initial court's verdict had been approved by the appeals court," Seyyed Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei told ISNA.
"Upon referring to branch 15 of the Revolution Court, I was informed that my client's case has not yet been sent to the appeals court."
Nejabat: Supreme Leader should not be dragged into disputes
Tabnak | March 6, 2010
A Tehran representative in Majlis said the Supreme Leader was an independent figure who should not be dragged into internal political disputes.
When asked by ILNA his opinion about certain officials pinning the responsibility for their actions on the Supreme Leader, Hossein Nejabat said, "This action is unacceptable on all levels because the Supreme Leader is an independent figure and dragging him into certain internal political disputes is a theoretic error made by certain individuals."
The member of the Majlis Energy Commission added, "In the Islamic Republic of Iran there are two focal points: One religious sovereignty and the other the majority vote of the people. Whichever one is harmed, the Islamic Republic will suffer harm."
"Anyone who hurts the path of the Imam [Khomeini] and the position of the Leadership is against the foundation of religious sovereignty."
Nejabat said those who sabotage the position of the Leader and the path of the Imam are the main enemies of religion.
Mousavi's chief of staff released on bail
Tabnak | March 8, 2010
Mir Hossein Mousavi's chief of staff was released on bail two months after he was arrested.
According to the Kalameh report, Mehdi Forouzandeh, who was Mousavi's chief of staff at the Academy of Persian Language and Literature (Farhangestan), was detained on Dec. 28, 2009.
Forouzandeh is also a former employee of the Iranian President's office.
Why Persian Language Academy objected to police name change
Tabnak | March 6, 2010
An official with the Academy of Persian Language and Literature (Farhangestan) said the reason why the police name change did not go through was that "pas var" could be pronounced "pasour."
"Replacing the word 'police' with 'pas var' was not proposed by the academy. One of the branches of the Armed Forces main command was pursuing this matter and made the announcement about the name change. They did inform the academy prior to making their announcement," ISNA quoted Nasrin Parvizi as saying.
"The chosen word can be easily misread and might be pronounced 'pasour' (in Persian: deck of cards). They [police officials] thought it [pas var] was a good choice and announced it."
The police announcement about the cancellation of the name change noted that the Academy had sent a letter to the Leader and raised objections, which led Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to order an end to the name change.
Majlis to probe ban on Reformist Etemad, Iran Dokht
Asr Iran | March 6, 2010
The deputy head of the Majlis cultural commission said parliament would be reviewing the ban on Etemad daily and Iran Dokht weekly with representatives from the Judiciary and Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
"We must look into the reasons why newspapers are closed, and we must see if it was because they crossed the line and broke the law or whether it was motivated by other reasons," Javad Aryanmanesh told ILNA.
"The ban on Etemad and Iran Dokht needed close investigation," he added, stressing that media bans should be avoided through giving guidance, issuing warnings and offering direction.
"In the media jury, members from the three branches of government (executive, legislative, judicial) are present. A representative of the media is also present. If the council makes a decision, we must respect the law. But banning [media] without a reason is something no one will stand for," he said.
Naderan: Faezeh Hashemi's remarks enough to jail her, Mehdi can be extradited
Asr Iran | March 6, 2010
Principlist lawmaker Elyas Naderan said Faezeh Hashemi's comments were enough to put her behind bars.
He added that a transcript of Faezeh's remarks about the Iranian establishment has been sent to Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. "If her remarks are published it will be enough to draft her indictment," he said.
According to the Fars News Agency, the Tehran representative in Majlis said that Mehdi Hashemi could be extradited.
"In comparison to some of the criminals currently awaiting for their trial in prison, he [Mehdi Hashemi] has not committed lesser crimes. The difference is that some of those now in prison are not related to the higher ups. Otherwise, there is no difference between their crimes and his," he said.
Nadern expressed discontent with the Judiciary's procrastination in bringing the Hashemi children to justice and said the judiciary chief should be questioned about this shortcoming.
Regarding Mehdi Hashemi's claim of pursuing higher education in the UK, Naderan said, "Getting a doctorate is not incompatible with being tried and held answerable to the people."
Rigi planned Assalouyeh bombing after Kyrgyzstan trip
Tabnak Khabar Online | March 6, 2010
The IRGC-affiliated Jahan website claimed that notorious Jondollah ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi has confessed to plans for an American-approved bombing in Assalouyeh.
The report stated that Rigi, in his latest confession, said that he had coordinated with the Americans to carry out a bombing in Assalouyeh after his trip to Kyrgyzstan.
According to Jahan, five Wahhabi missionaries were arrested upon attempting to illegally exit Iran at the same time that Rigi made his recent confessions.
The Wahhabi missionaries were involved in recruiting and training members for the Jondollah terrorist cell.
Shahid Beheshti dean: What segregation?
Asr Iran | March 6, 2010
The Dean of the Shahid Beheshti University rejected rumors that his school had started segregating classes.
Reports have recently surfaced claiming that Shahid Beheshti students were forced to sit at opposite ends of the class depending on their gender and that university entrances were also designated by gender.
"I am the dean of Shahid Beheshti University and when I have no knowledge about this, how can a gender segregation plan have been implemented?" he said.
"It is strange that these issues are brought up without even the slightest consultation with officials," he told Mehr News Agency.
Media frenzy over Shariatmadari's health
Farau | Tabnak | March 8, 2010
Authorities today rejected reports by pro-government, pro-Mashai websites which earlier claimed that Hossein Shariatmadari was suffering from terminal esophageal cancer and would possibly not make it to the Persian New Year.
"Unfortunately Mr. Shariatmadari is suffering from esophageal cancer and there is a possibility that this loyal friend of the establishment will not be alive in the coming [solar] year," Haqiqat news reported, quoting an unnamed member of Shariatmadari's medical team.
The unnamed doctor added, "Mr. Shariatmadari's medical team has done everything in their power but his condition is not good and now the Iranian nation must pray for Mr. Shariatmadari."
However, Serat News reported that "Hossein Shariatmadari who had been hospitalized last night was discharged from Baqiyatollah Hospital before noon."
Authorities at Baqiyatallah Hospital rejected that Shariatmadari's health was declining. They told Farda that Shariatmadari had been discharged from the hospital in good health and without any need for medical attention.
Meanwhile, Serat News said Shariatmadari had been hospitalized due to "abdominal swelling."
A source close to Shariatmadari told Serat News that "his health is fine and he is now writing the 'Goft-o-Shenood' column of Kayhan."
Shariatmadari: I'm well, I was discharged
Parleman | March 8, 2010
Kayhan editor-in-chief Hossein Shariatmadari rejected reports that he was terminally ill and said the state of his health was not important enough to constitute news.
"I am not a person important enough to have my health or poor health reported in media as news," Fars News Agency quoted him as saying.
"This is what happened: I went to the hospital yesterday to receive treatment and doctors told me my ailment was caused by a lack of rest and overworking myself. With God's grace I was discharged from the hospital today and I am now taking care of my daily business at the [Kayhan] institute."
He went on to add that he had chosen his headline and written and filed for print his daily column from the hospital. Shariatmadari addressed counterrevolutionary groups by stating that life and death was in the hands of God and it was He who decides who lives and who dies.
Shariatmadari described his health as excellent.
Tamadon talks of banning Persian traditions, says TU dorm suspects
Tabnak | March 8, 2010
Tehran governor Morteza Tamadon said the main suspects in the attack on the Tehran University Dormitory had been identified and their names passed on to the country's security officials.
"Based on the ruling of the Council of Appropriating Authority, during the entire period of riots and unrest in Tehran, civil and security forces were prohibited from entering universities and deans of universities were in charge of maintaining calm in the institutions under their supervision," Tamdon said on Monday.
"If university authorities were incapable of calming down the atmosphere of the university, they were permitted to seek help from security and civil forces. However, fortunately, we never received reports of such a request being made during the unrest.
He added that ".... 1,000 of the victims of the post-election unrest who had sustained financial damages or lost their lives were identified and located and remedied in part for their losses and their families were consoled."
Tamadon rejected the ancient fire festival held on the last Wednesday of the Persian year known as Chaharshanbeh Souri.
"Tradition showcases the beauties of a culture and the fire-ritual offers nothing but ugliness, fear and worry."
"The government and the police will not allow the last Wednesday of the Persian year to be full of worry and stress for people and to this end security forces in Tehran have arrested 500 producers, sellers and smugglers dealing with flammable substances."
"With decisive action, we will try to wipe the problem called 'Chahar Shanbeh Souri' from the mind of society within the next two years."
Police trainer: Iran not to blame for high price of drugs
Tabnak | March 6, 2010
A teacher at the police academy said Afghans believe their drug abusers became addicts in Iran.
"Afghans say the drug users living in their country became addicts after immigrating to Iran and returning to Afghanistan," Brigadier General Maleki said on a panel discussion on the production and trafficking of drugs, citing Afghanistan's one million drug addicts.
He said there had been a 7 percent reduction in the number of drug busts. "This is while in recent years the price of narcotics has increased by 15 to 20 percent, which Iran is not to blame for. Rather, U.S. attacks on Helmand Province resulted in the hurried transfer of drug consignments to border areas and this in turn... increased the price of drugs."
He went on to add that over the past 30 years, Afghan officials had not once cooperated in preventing the trafficking of illegal drugs from Afghanistan to Iran.

Win Win
Go to showtimes
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, April 7, 2011
Writer-director Thomas McCarthy makes movies about accidental families, misfits thrown together (at a house, a pied-à-terre, a train station) who form unanticipated and unconventional bonds of friendship.
McCarthy acts, too — he tends to play skittish supporting characters, often named Bob — though not in his own films so far. Before the camera and behind it, he's an unobtrusive presence: Win Win marks his third film with cinematographer Oliver Bokelberg (after The Station Agent and The Visitor), and all of them have a visual forthrightness that highlights meaning and emotion without a trace of gratuitous flash. The effect is an endearing and plainspoken clarity that stops just short of naturalism; the people in his movies don't seem real, exactly, but we end up caring about them as though they were.
Take Kyle (Alex Shaffer), the 16-year-old at the heart of Win Win. He's a tough customer, a bleached Ohio punk with a gift for wrestling who shows up on his estranged grandfather's doorstep in New Providence, N.J. (McCarthy's hometown). Grandpa Leo (Burt Young) isn't there, having been plopped in a nursing home by Mike (Paul Giamatti), a struggling lawyer who obtained Leo's guardianship for the $1,500 per month he gets in compensation.

But Mike isn't an entirely bad guy — no one is, in McCarthyland. He's a flawed guy, which means he knows full well what's required of him. And when he learns that Kyle's mother (Melanie Lynskey) is negligent and drug addicted, and now in rehab, he knows he ought to take the boy in. Simplifying this decision is the fact that Mike coaches a pathetically bad wrestling squad, and Kyle's arrival lends a welcome boost to the team's prospects.
Win Win isn't a straight-up sports movie, though it does offer a few vivid scenes of triumph and loss on the mat. It doesn't obey the conventional rhythms of the genre.
Nor does it obey every convention of the indie comedy or its acid-tongued relative, the seriocomic portrait of a suburban dad in crisis. It's too sweet for that, too modest in its narrative quirk, balancing the funny and the painful with a few bursts of violence and the overall warmth of decent people trying to figure out what's best.
Giamatti excels as the weak-kneed Mike, nicely working his gift for inner conflict and outer bumbling. As his wife, Amy Ryan is a ballast of unflinching moral certitude. Playing assistant coaches/sidekicks are the angular Jeffrey Tambor and the antsy Bobby Cannavale, who provides some comic relief — maybe too much — as a ubiquitous third wheel. His sitcom-ready omnipresence and a too-neat-by-half ending are the only false notes in the film.
But the real story is Kyle's, and the real star is Shaffer, a dark-eyed natural whose adenoidal monotone reveals a hard edge of wariness cut with hope. This is a kid, we realize, who's been betrayed by adults, yet he's the one who treats the senile Leo with love and respect: buying him Cocoa Puffs, campaigning to move him back home. He understands the bonds of family best of all.

The Pentagon is chasing a losing battle, demanding that WikiLeaks return all of its documents that it leaked to the press about the Afghanistan war – even though they've been reported in the press and now in the public domain.
We guess the Pentagon doesn't "get" the internet. Once something's out there, it's out there – and with the amount of secure servers WikiLeaks operates, in safe countries such as its main server in Sweden, there's nothing to prevent WikiLeaks from handing the documents elsewhere even if the Pentagon gets its way.
Spokesman Geoff Morrell acnkowledged this, but ignored his own advice by going ahead and asking WikiLeaks to "do the right thing" anyway. The Pentagon asking WikiLeaks to "do the right thing" is like stabbing someone in the stomach and requesting that they kindly donate their blood to a bloodbank.
In a tweet, Wikileaks said that Mr Morrell is "obnoxious" followed by another saying that now would be a good time to send WikiLeaks "all of your money".
The US says that the documents being in the public domain put Afghan informers and soldiers' lives at risk – unlike, of course, loaded guns and wars. It says that the leaked documents are the US' rightful property and it's dead mean of WikiLeaks to take them.
WikiLeaks has said on its Twitter feed that it is examining the Pentagon's request and will be issuing a statement in due course. It also said that the Pentagon is using "rhetorical tricks" to fool reporters through no direct contact – aggreing to use the New York Times as a relay. The whistleblowing website claimed that the Pentagon's statement was a "formal threat" – "destroy everything, or else."
We have a feeling that WikiLeaks won't be sympathetic to the Pentagon's cat-calls, particularly after Bradley Manning, alleged source of leaks, has been villanised by the US government with one congressman calling for him to be legally murdered.

On a small scale, you can purify against your blotted > protein band. Right. I was about to ask if your protein had any homology to tubulin, and could be inducing a cross-reacting antibody response, but the key thing is that the pre-immune serum recognises tubulin, so it seems to be that this particular rabbit has a tubulin allergy (well, except that'd be IgE, but you know what i mean). I would imagine that affinity-purifying the antibody would get rid of the cross-reaction; if you can try that with the samples you have and repeat your IF/blot, that should assuage your concerns. Doing it with the pre-immune serum, as a negative control, might also be wise. I think the fact that you have 6his-tagged antigen makes affinity purification a lot easier, if you're prepared to expend some resin on it: bind antigen to column, bind antibody to antigen, wash like the clappers, elute the antibody from the antigen with thiocyanate, cross fingers and hope that antigen doesn't come off too. However, the existence of the tubulin reactivity is going to make life a bit of a pain, since it means your purification has to be really, really good. Or you'll have to add recombinant tubulin to your blocking buffer or something. Any chance you can complain to the antibody company and get them to do it again with a rabbit that isn't already making tubulin antibodies? Maybe they're reusing rabbits! Also, if it's making a lot of anti-tubulin antibodies, that might (might!) mean it's making less anti-your-protein antibodies. tom -- Tom Anderson, MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology, UCL, London WC1E 6BT (t) +44 (20) 76797264 (f) +44 (20) 76797805 (e) thomas.anderson from ucl.ac.uk

Where's Luli? She's in there, I promise! We had another bit of a struggle getting out to walk today but when we came back, Luli started prancing around and running up to me. She even let me sidle up to her on the couch and give her lots of pets. My heart just about melted when she rested that little head in my palm. I knew she'd come around!
Later in the afternoon, I headed on over to County of Sacramento Animal Care and Control on Bradshaw to take photos of our CGC Shelter dogs there and assist with pulling Junior. Well, Junior's pull took longer than planned so I'll have to go back for pictures of Patch and Jack. But it will be well worth the second trip out. You see, Junior was on the euthanasia list.
Junior was unfortunately involved in an attack by another dog. The other dog was the aggressor. You can see some of Junior's wounds on his side in some of the photos. After the attack, Junior became temperamental around other dogs and started to show signs of kennel stress and he was deemed unadoptable and moved to Isolation and placed on the euthanasia list. Roland (another volunteer) did a full behavioral evaluation on Junior and found him to be very stable with humans and selectively reactive with other dogs. Chako was able to find a foster home for him and Roland and myself were there to witness Junior being freed from certain death.
Happy day, all around! If you are interested in adopting Junior, or know someone that may be, please share this blog post with them, visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/chakopitbull, or email email@example.com.
