Sources have told NBC news that the shooting at the Mexico border near Naco, Ariz., that killed border patrol agent Nicolas Ivie and wounded two others involved friendly fire. NBC's Mark Potter reports.
Investigators say that the Border Patrol shooting that left one agent dead was likely the result of three agents all responding separately to a tripped sensor on the U.S.-Mexico border, and unknowingly shooting at one another in the dark, according to several reports.
The reports offer more detail on how Tuesday's incident unfolded. Agent Nicholas J. Ivie, 33, was killed and a second agent was wounded in a rugged area known for drug and human smuggling.
According to Cochise County acting Sheriff Rod Rothrock, the three agents were patrolling on horseback along several miles of the U.S.-Mexico border when all responded to the tripped sensor.
George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing agents, said all three agents fired their weapons.
McCubbin told The Arizona Republic that the agents had split up as they investigated the sensor alarm. In the darkness between 1 and 2 a.m., the three converged from different directions into a saddle in the hills where the brush is relatively thick, Saturday's Los Angeles Times reported, citing McCubbin.

Law enforcement forces gather at a command post in the desert near Naco, Ariz. Tuesday after a border patrol agent was shot to death near the U.S.-Mexico line.
The agents had been in communication earlier, and were aware of each other's presence in the area, according to Rothrock. It was not clear why they didn't talk when converging on the target area.
McCubbin told the Times, "Maybe they tried to reach each other but couldn't. They have lots of dead spots in the desert."
Ivie was about 20 yards away from the other two agents when they apparently spotted each other, and started trading fire.
Ivie "interpreted defensive postures from the other as aggressive postures," Rothrock said.

In the exchange of fire, Ivie was killed, and a second agent whose name has not been released was shot in the buttocks and the ankle. He was treated and is reportedly recovering at home. A third agent, who also remains unnamed, was unharmed.
A high-powered rifle and a handgun were found near the shooting scene, the Times reported, citing government documents. It was not clear whether they were connected to the incident.
State and federal officials initially said that the shootings were committed by armed criminals.

Post subject: Water fasting/Living on light if your an athlete
I know Jericho Sunfire is training alot, but what about like high activity sports like soccer, high intensity sprints etc. Will it work?
Because when you talk to trainers and all they say you have to have carbohydrates/glycogen to restore in your muscles so that you can perform at the highest level. Is this just bull and something that is created like everyother stuff why you need food?
Yeah just fire away on everything whys and why nots

Post subject: hi
I'm not a breatharian, so I cant talk from experience... But I do have experience with trainning and subtle energies.
Somehow, I would tend to think that inedia is the best ''diet'' of all...
Forget your chemistry class for one minute... Be creative a little, think outside the box.
Breatharianism is more sophisticated than any scientific sport theory.
Breatharians experience great levels of energy, they all testify to this. One said; ''the more active you are, the more energy you have.'' So if you are a pranarian, when you use prana, you end up having even more.
Like I said, forget your chemistry class a minute... We are talking about pure direct life force here.

i know that alot of stuff sounds great in theory but dont work in practice.
Im now on a fruitarian diet and that is really helping my athletic because of all the carbohydrate that fuels my muscles with glycogen.
I really have the drive for breatharianism and it seems so right and really touch my heart. But when i fast with water i feel week. I know its detox and all but expept for Jericho Sunfire wich looks good, is there anyone that could really do alot of sport on this living style. Like run 400 m sprints, do soccer and everything with alot of energy and power even more then when eating?

Fruits are good for cleaning out the body. Remember, even Jericho Sunfire was not born breatharian. He transitioned to it through fruitarianism and liquidarianism.

Since I am not interested in practicing sport or body building, and I never was, I have little experience about it when in inedia.
When I was living without food I did not practice anything, however I needed to do some heavy physical work.
One day I had to unload a container with 300 monitors, every one was 10 kg heavy. I started the work with my friend (he was eating "normally"). We were unloading the monitors with hands and carrying them approx. 40 meters from the car to the basement. It took us 1,5 hours.
I remember that once I started I continued without any brake till the end. My friend had to take a rest, as he felt too week and perspired a lot.
I was feeling just fine, just doing the boring transporting work, but not feeling tired. Also I did not perspire, just a little.
Compared to time when i eat normally, I was wandering how endurance was my body in inedia.

I don't eat at all and am very muscular and drive a heavy truck with manual brakes and steering up and down tight mountain roads. It's probably what keeps my body in shape because I don't do any other type of exercise and even sit a lot if I'm not driving.
Of course anyone will be this way if they don't take the drug mistakingly called food that is mistakingly thought to nourish the body. It doesn't in eaters or non eaters and has nothing to do with nourishing the body because they body has it's own connection to it's energy source.
I remember reading about a guy in american in the early 1900s that was a guinuess record holder for lifting heavy weights, especially in fast repetition. I just can't recall the name. His strategy was to completely stop eating for weeks or months before the event. He understood that food took energy from the body and didn't give it.

Steve, how can one build the body in matter and result muscular while non eating if non eating is about removing all the dross in the body until full cleanse? im almost 20 and when i dry fast for long time im just skin and bones...anorectic lookin to others eyes. And that even if i exercise...i do not care about physycal look to be honest, but if you live in the society and you go dry fasting for many days its pretty boring to hear several times everyday " you're so damn ill, you're dying, you're anorectic, go eat something etc" ..i wonder if jericho sunfire is actually eating...I really cant explain how one can build some muscles as breatharian...guess takes just time and exercise, pretty much more time compared to one who exercises and eats anything during the whole day in variation...like the average bodybuilder. in that case, he will probably get bigger because of water retention/fat etc.

Richard Phillips
- March 12, 2013 7:00 PM
March 12-Richard Phillips, artist
Richard Phillips is a New York-based artist known for his strikingly distinctive paintings, such as the early Girl Child, 1996-97 in the Modern's permanent collection. Using found imagery, Phillips's work addresses the marketability of man and his wishes, ideas, actions, identity, sexuality, politics, and desires. He translates these images into both drawings and paintings, and, in doing so, he makes use of the iconic quality of pictures, which the media and art use daily—each according to its own agenda. Recently, Phillips has begun to explore filmmaking and photography as means of moving beyond found imagery in his paintings. He completed his first film, Lindsay Lohan, in 2011. The film premiered at the 2011 Venice Biennale in tandem with his second film, Sasha Grey. His third film premiered at Art Basel's Art Unlimited exhibition in Basel, Switzerland, in June 2012. All three films were shown for the first time in the United States alongside a group of corresponding paintings at Gagosian Gallery in New York in September 2012.
For this Tuesday Evenings presentation, "Painting Beyond Reason," Phillips addresses a selection of works spanning his career, with an emphasis on his most recent shows at White Cube in London and Gagosian Gallery in New York and three short films.
The spring series for Tuesday Evenings at the Modern begins February 12 and ends April 23. These lectures and presentations by artists, architects, historians, and critics are held in the Modern's auditorium and begin at 7 pm. Free admission tickets (limit two) can be picked up at the Modern's information desk beginning at 5 pm on the day of the lecture. Seating begins at 6:30 pm and is limited to the first 250 ticketholders. A live broadcast of the lectures is shown in Café Modern for any additional guests. The Museum galleries remain open until 7 pm on Tuesdays during the series (regular gallery admission charge applies).
Café Modern is open for dinner on Tuesday nights during the lecture series. Enjoy a fine dining experience before or after the lecture; seating is available from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. For reservations, call 817.840.2157 or visit www.themodern.org/cafe.

As the legislature convenes just weeks after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, its focus is sure to include the issue of school security and questions over how to pay for needed upgrades.
But fewer than three years ago the state pulled the plug on a program that helped fund safety improvements at local schools because of a growing budget deficit, a Courant review of state records reveals.
The S.A.F.E. schools grant program was approved as a two-year, $10 million response to the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech, where 33 students were killed.
The program, administered by the state's Homeland Security department, required local school districts to provide some funding while applying for matching funds from the state. The percentage of money the state paid was based on the wealth of the community.
In 2008, nearly all of the $5 million was doled out to 61 school districts, records show. Many installed safety items such as surveillance cameras and panic buttons.
But in 2009, as a budget crisis loomed, then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell wanted to eliminate the program and use the entire $5 million to close a growing state deficit. Powerful state lawmaker and Senator Pro Tempore Donald Williams, who proposed the grant originally, fought to keep $1.7 million in place. The move ensured that three school systems in his legislative district - Killingly, Mansfield and Putnam – received grant money.
"Last time we didn't have towns beating down our doors. We went around the state letting school districts know about the program,'' Williams said Friday. "I don't think that will be a problem this time. People are absolutely talking about security for our schools and I am sure there will be a demand to take action."
Williams said he had some bonding money made available for school security in 2010. None of that money was used and could still available, he said.
Newtown, home to Sandy Hook Elementary School, was one of the last school districts to receive money before the program was shuttered in 2009. The town had studied security issues at its schools, deciding that the high school needed to be upgraded, records show.
School districts had to conduct security assessments and explain why they needed the money and what they would do with it.
On its grant application, Newtown officials said the high school was "significantly vulnerable to facility breaches by automobile and individuals accessing the facility's main entrance and peripheral through heavily wooded areas."
The assessment concluded "with consistent evidence of automobile break-ins, non-school/non-community individuals in possession of illegal substances; visitors entering the school with 'no contact' restrictions; two lockdown responses to handgun and prison incidents; the robbery of a credit union across from the school and armed gunmen using the school facility as an observation point and vehicle turnaround, we feel it is necessary to respond with appropriate measures, safeguarding the well-being of our students and staff."
The team recommended installing a security kiosk in the driveway to develop a formalized stop zone for visitors and students to check in, an access card-key control system for external doors and two-way communications equipment between security at kiosk and school administrators.
The state gave Newtown $16,445 for the project. The town spent an additional $31,030.
State records show that most of the school districts made standard improvements such as installing buzzer systems with intercoms, panic alarms and surveillance cameras. Some towns upgraded security at elementary schools, records show.
Ledyard Superintendent Michael Graner said his district used the grant to install a buzzer and intercom system at several schools, including two elementary schools.
"It's not a perfect system but it does help to identify people who may be a problem,'' Graner said. "If you have a person that you are concerned about you can give their photo to the office staff and tell them if that person shows up trying to get in to call the police."
Sandy Hook Elementary School had a buzzer system and the front entrance was locked when Adam Lanza approached on the morning of Dec. 14. Lanza, authorities have said, shot his way through the building's glass.
Lanza gunned down 26 people, including 20 first-graders in their classrooms, with a semiautomatic rifle before killing himself with a pistol as police closed in.
Guilford Board of Education Chairman William Bloss, who is also a long-time criminal attorney, said with the possible exception of the state's prisons, Lanza could have shot his way into almost any school or state building.
He said many towns have older schools, particularly at the elementary level, and that "retro-fitting them is not easy" because of how they were designed.
Many schools were built at a time when security was not a prime concern.
"Back in the 1950s, when some of these schools were built, if an architect came before the (school) board and said we are going to plan this elementary school to stop someone with a high capacity rifle from entering, they would have thrown him out,'' Bloss said.
Three school systems – Avon, Region 18, which covers Lyme and Old Lyme, and Region 14 which covers Bethlehem and Woodbury – were awarded money from the state program in 2008 but did not use it, records show.
Region 18 Superintendent Ian Neviaser said it appears his district declined the $26,500 the state offered because the school board didn't want to spend an additional $72,000 to upgrade security at the high school because a major renovation was planned. Neviaser was not the superintendent in Region 18 in 2008. Avon also was in the middle of a $30 million renovation at its high school.
The board eventually approved a $39 million renovation which is wrapping up this year. Included in that was a "state of the art" security system, Neviaser said.
Region 14 did not use a small amount of funding in 2008, records show, but instead got $14,000 from the state in 2009 to do security work on several schools. One of them was the Woodbury's Mitchell Elementary School.
The Mitchell school principal who wrote the district's grant application in October of 2007 was Dawn Hochsprung.
"Currently individuals can enter the buildings without being seen by the staff,'' Hochsprung wrote, adding the school wanted to install a camera, intercom and buzzer system.
"This will allow us to keep the front door locked at all time and to allow only visitors into the building after they are identified by staff and allowed access," Hochsprung wrote.
The application was approved and the new system installed in her last year in Region 14.
Hochsprung later left to become principal at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where she was killed while rushing out of a room to confront Lanza.

In the forthcoming October/November edition of Solid Waste & Recycling magazine I write an editorial on what's happening with stewardship for blue-box-type printed paper and packaging materials in the Province of British Columbia. (That edition will be printed and mailed, and online, at the end of October.)
In the meantime, and by way of background, I thought to offer readers a copy of an excellent article one of our contributing editors forwarded to me on eco fees that appeared recently in the Vancouver Sun. It's a good and fair assessment of what's taking shape in that province, and should be of great interest to readers across the country.
BC is really leading the charge on product stewardship and extended producer responsibility (EPR).
Here's the article:
What's the point of eco-fees?
Consumers pay them on increasing number of retail products to ensure their proper recycling
Consider it the cost of doing the right thing.
Consumers may not know it, but they are paying eco fees at the point of purchase on an increasing number of products to cover the cost of having them properly recycled.
It can be pennies, such as with pop bottles and cans, or as much as $2.25 for blenders and coffee grinders, $5.50 for desktop computers and $10 for larger microwaves.
A common misconception is that the B.C. government collects the eco-fees and funnels the money back into general revenue.
In fact, it is industry that establishes and collects the eco-fees to cover recycling costs on a not-for-profit basis, although the province does benefit financially through collection of the harmonized sales tax on those fees.
One major exception is battery recycling, which pays for itself without an eco-fee due to the value of the lead; cellphones and pharmaceuticals also have no fees.
The goal is to keep eco-fees as low as reasonably possible to not discourage retail spending during fragile economic times.
"Industry doesn't want to charge much of anything," said Brock Macdonald, chief executive officer of the Recycling Council of B.C. "They don't want the cost of their products to be any higher to their customers than possible."
The province does not require retailers to list the eco-fee on sales receipts, meaning some do and some don't.
Neil Hastie, chief executive officer for Encorp Pacific Canada, the beverage recycling company, argued that non-disclosure of the eco-fees on receipts is not an issue since the public ultimately pays the cost of recycling one way or the other.
"The illusion that … the companies are going to absorb that cost and not pass it on is naive at best," he said.
A total of 14 industry-managed not-for-profit recycling sectors exist in B.C. as a result of the province's Recycling Regulation of 2004, with a target recovery rate of 75 per cent.
The trend is going to grow as packaging and paper products, including solid foam, come into the fold by May 19, 2014, at an estimated recycling cost of $60 million to $100 million to year, said Allen Langdon, chairman of Multi-Material BC.
Deciding how much to charge for an increasingly diverse array of packaging types won't be simple.
Fees differ based on the costs of recycling even products that seem similar, such as corrugated cardboard, box board, and mixed paper.
"There is no doubt that the fee process is extremely complex," Langdon confirmed.
A box of cereal, for example, would have separate fees for the box and the bag inside.
A water bottle could includes separate fees on the bottle, the label, the cap, and the plastic film and/or cardboard it came in.
"Many of those fees are fractional, less than one cent … so the consumer would never know it," Langdon noted.
Fees established for, say, recycling electronics include the cost of handling products that were sold before the industry stewardship program coming into effect.
"The fee on your flatscreen TV is going to pay for recycling one of those old cabinet TVs," he said.
Homeowners pay a fixed blue-box fee through their municipal taxes regardless of how much packaging they use.
The new system adopts a more equitable user-pay system.
The province requires the various stewardship groups to publish annual reports and financial statements, and have third-party audits.
Hastie said the B.C. government does not act simply as a rubber stamp, noting that in one recent case the province expressed concern that glass containers in remote areas were being crushed and used for drainage around housing.
"They weren't sure that was really the highest and best use," he said, noting more glass is now being shipped to the Lower Mainland for recycling. "They pushed back. They do pay attention."
In an unrelated case, the Environmental Appeal Board upheld the province's decision in 2009 to rescind the stewardship plan of the Western Canada Computer Industry Association for various non-compliance issues related to competitor Encorp successfully forming an association with the Electronics Stewardship Association of B.C. to recycle computers.
Encorp provides employment for the equivalent of 700 full-time workers at 172 collection depots provincewide. The Burnaby-based company recycled 987 million containers in 2011, for a recovery rate of 80 per cent.
According to its latest annual report online, Encorp reported a total operating reserve of $20.3 million in 2011, raising questions as to whether the eco-fees charged consumers for recycling are too high. In 2009, however, the group ran a deficit of $1.4 million
Hastie explained that the goal is to maintain a reserve of $15 to $25 million to deal with the vagaries of currency and commodity markets such as for aluminum and plastic and that recycling fees go up and down accordingly.
The accounting group EPR Canada produced an "extended producer responsibility" report card in 2011 that gave B.C. the highest mark — an A-minus — among provinces and territories.
EPR liked the "clear focus" of the extended producer responsibility programs in B.C. for increasing diversion and reducing pollution through collection programs aimed at pharmaceuticals, rechargeable batteries and cellphones, beverage containers, specified hazardous/special wastes and waste electronics.
EPR added that an "innovative policy framework" allows industry to design and operate diversion programs.
However, EPR did not like that the timeline to achieve the 75 per cent target "varies by program" with "no penalties specified for failure to reach targets within timeline."
And while B.C. requires an annual report including results of the third party audits, EPR noted that an assessment of program performance and annual report is not publicly available.
The federal government received an F score for failing to implement extended producer responsibility regulations for "toxic materials or products containing topics for which it has authority under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act."

The story went around in NASCAR garages everywhere at the time.
NASCAR driver Coo Coo Marlin, his wife, Eula Faye, and their son Sterling were sitting at the dinner table one night. Coo Coo, rapid fire, said "pass-the-potatoes-please-Sterling's-going-to-run-Talladega."
Thus began the career of Sterling Marlin, a second-generation driver who carved his way after his father, one of NASCAR's top independents, as they were called at the time, was winding up a distinguished career of his own.
When Sterling Marlin retired in '08 from the NASCAR Cup wars, he had made 748 starts with 216 top-10 finishes, 10 wins and 11 poles. He won the Daytona 500 back-to-back in 1994-95, and no one has repeated that feat. He won three straight poles at Daytona between the track's two Cup races.
And he made his mark at the Brickyard 400. He started third in 1995 and finished second to Jeff Gordon in 2001 among 13 starts at the Speedway. He was one of the first NASCAR drivers to call the Speedway front stretch "the tunnel" because NASCAR drivers weren't used to running with grandstands on both sides of the track.
Marlin's Cup career is over. But he's not quite "retired."
At Nashville Superspeedway, the track where he and his father first started their careers, he still takes the flag once in a while.
"Just to have fun," said Marlin, 55. "We won three out of six last year, and we're running seven races this year."
Today, Marlin lives on an 800-acre ranch near his hometown of Spring Hill, Tenn., and has a driver development program for those on their way up.
"I don't have much time to do anything else," he said.
Marlin's son, Steadman, ran 28 Nationwide races and a few in the Camping World Truck Series. But he is not driving this year.
"It costs a lot of money to run a full season," Sterling said. "Steadman's 31. It's the 15-16-17-year-olds who are going to be the next group."
But there on his website (www.sterlingmarlinracing.com) is a picture of Sterling with his Nashville late model. And it's put to good use.

|Lumos Maxima
|Hand Movement
Produces bright light[1]
Lumos Maxima is the incantation to a charm that can be used to produce a blinding flash of bright white light from the tip of the wand[1]. This light can be thrown far off of the wand, illuminating the surrounding area for several minutes after its initial casting before darkening once more[3].
To cast it, one must flick their wand, then draw it back and flick it a second time, after which it will light, as noted in chapter thirty-two of Extreme Incantations by Violeta Stitch[1]. The spellbook also included a diagram depicting the proper casting of this spell[1].
At the end of the 1992-1993 school year, Professor Filius Flitwick assigned his second year Charms students this charm to practise in the summer before their third year[1]. He allowed them to use Extreme Incantations to learn it and to help them[1].
- Albus Dumbledore[3]
- Filius Flitwick[1]
- Harry Potter[1]
- Violeta Stitch[1]
- All other second year students[1]
The incantation is derived from the incantation for its predecessor, "Lumos", and the Latin word "maxima", which means "very great" or "greatest".

Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
Care For All: Musicians For Healthcare aims to help fund the Vermont Workers' Center's Healthcare Is A Human Right Campaign. With its roster of roots rock artists, this benefit CD is far less likely to top the charts than the star-studded Hope For Haiti Now. Still, producer-guitarist Scott Ainslie is betting its message will resonate with the numerous American musicians who shell out big bucks for individual healthcare policies with high deductibles and little coverage.
Activist-author Si Kahn sings and plays guitar on his "Care For All," one of the few songs specifically composed for this CD. Ainslie covers Stephen Foster's revered chestnut "Hard Times Come Again No More," and Pete Sutherland's "Our Time's Not Up" offers an optimistic view set to an enticing blend of Celtic and African music. Chris Kleeman's freewheeling "Scratch It While You Can" is one of three melodic instrumental tracks on Care For All while "Never Learn" by The Devil Makes Three packs the emotional punch of vintage protest music.
On "Suffering Of The People," Anais Mitchell and Maddub back a persuasive speech by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders with techno beats and a spirited chorus of, "The industry is built on the suffering of the people" that underscores Sanders' contention that affordable healthcare for all is a civil rights issue.

Nyan Cat, which is either the best or worst thing to happen to the internet in 2011, is certainly the best thing to happen to Duke Nukem Forever in this clip from the game's opening stage.
Having seen (and, admittedly, drawn) a dick or two on that whiteboard in my time, it's great seeing somebody get a little more creative with it.

Fowl pox
Fowl pox
Fowl pox is caused by a large DNA Avipoxvirus of the family Poxviridae. Many strains of virus are recognized and naturally infect the species given in their name.
Some common examples are:
- Fowl poxvirus
- Quail poxvirus
- Turkey poxvirus
- Pigeon poxvirus
- Psittacine poxvirus
- Canary poxvirus
- Direct: by water and feed.
- Indirect: by vectors such as mosquitoes and others insects.
- Humid or diphtheroid form: respiratory signs and drop in feed consumption. Mortality and drops in production are variable.
- Cutaneous form: there are no clinical signs unless bacterial complications occur. Only characteristic lesions are observed.
- Humid or diphtheroid form: fibrinous-necrotic lesions in oral cavity of mucous membrane, oesophagus and trachea.
- Cutaneous form: papules and scabs on areas lacking feathers (crest, chin, legs, etc.)
Can be confirmed by histopathological analysis; this is done by observing the cytoplasmatic inclusion bodies and pathognomonics, called Böllinger bodies, which are characteristic of the disease.
- Causal identification agent: isolating and identification.
There are no aetiological treatments, although it is possible to establish a symptomatic therapy.
Vaccination with live vaccines gives efficacious protection.
- Cross-reactions of poxviruses from various avian species.
- Read as Pigeonpox (y axis) reacts with individual strain (x axis). Vaccines available are listed as homologous or heterologous.
- Gerlach, H. (1994) Avian Medicine: Principles and Applications, Section 5, Chapter 32: Viruses. 865-874.
Moreover, hygienic care, biosecurity and control of vectors must be emphasized due to their relevance in controlling the disease.

'The iPhone SE is a great smartphone that brings plenty of power in a small package. '
'Easy to recommend.'
'It's a mighty mini phone. '
'The iPhone SE is great, but there's plenty of room for improvement.'
'This is a plain budget phone, so don't expect more than the basics. '
'easy and comfortable viewing'
'I really enjoy holding it for long periods of time and have reverted back to reading books on my phone, something I haven't done since using my diddy-screened iPhone 4 two years ago.'
'The new look and feel brings with it a crisper and thinner font, a greater use of colour, and a layering system that gives everything added depth. '
'The iPhone 5S fully supports 2G and 3G (DC-HSPA and HSPA+) bands just as before but this time Apple has added in a host of additional 4G bands. '
'Competition now stronger.'
'Easy-to-use OS. Great call quality.'
'Fairly poor display'
'TN screen is ugly.'
'Rubbish battery life.'
'The screen is a 4-inch 480x800-pixel panel which really isn't very bright and has poor viewing angles. '
A new entry to the budget smartphone category that could scare rivals
One of the best low-cost smartphones you can buy
'Camera is sub-par, sorely lacking in detail.'
'One other pretty rubbish element of the screen is what it's made of.'
'You need to get around the 300ppi mark to get really good sharpness, and the Moto E does better the Xperia E1 despite its larger screen with 256ppi.'
'It's not a terrible screen but – you guessed it – the Motorola Moto E offers a much better one. '
'Some might see the plastic as regressive rather than progressive - it depends how much a lick of colour does for you - but any fears that you may have that C in 5C stands for "cheap" will disappear the moment you pick up the phone.'
'With the camera app, you have a new Automatic HDR mode, which applies HDR filters to objects and scenes before image capture. .'
Bright and cheerful new colors, Solid value
It's a cheaper iPhone, not a cheap iPhone
'Average battery life.'
'At just over £80, locked to Virgin Mobile, the ZTE Blade V is clearly pitched towards the very budget conscious, ideal for those that want a cheap smartphone to take to school.'
'Neat-looking metallic rear. '
'For today's standard, the Blade V's screen is pretty small at 4in. '

Saturday Night Slumgullion
The 23rd Annual Black Harvest Film Festival opened today at the Gene Siskel Center in downtown Chicago and runs through the end of the month.
The Chicago Art Book Fair, an international showcase of "zine-makers, book artists, comic makers, photo book creators RISOgraph printers, and self-publishers," makes its debut November 16 through 19 at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel at 12 S. Michigan Avenue. It will be free and open to the public.
That new video Derrick Anderson talked about filming a while back for his impossibly catchy song "When I Was Your Man" is now available. Taken from his recent solo album A World Of My Own, the stark but fun clip features him on bass, along with Debbi and Vicki Peterson of The Bangles, and Kim Shattuck from The Muffs. Anderson has been performing with The Bangles as their bass player for some time now, and he got them, along Shattuck, Matthew Sweet, The Smithereens, and other power pop stars to help out on the album. As I said here before, I'd love to see Anderson go on tour with that all-star band, and come to Chicago.
In other Bangles news, the band's 1984 album All Over The Place, was named as one of National Public Radio's The 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women. Join Mitchell's Blue came in at Number One. Vicki Peterson has formed a new band called Action Skulls with John Cowsill and Bill Mumy. "Mainstream," a satiric and jangling tune from their upcoming album Angels Hear, can be heard on The Bangles Facebook page.
The always essential website The Second Disc recently reported on Leave Home: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of The Ramones' second album. Writer Joe Marchese stated that the three-CD/one-LP box set comes with a remastered version of the album, a new mix on CD and vinyl, and a bonus disc with 33 rare tracks. In another Second Disc post, Marchese covered The Who's upcoming Maximum As and Bs: The Complete Singles five-CD box set. It comes with a 48-page booklet.
Chicago venue The Elbo Room is sponsoring the ninth annual I Am Fest – International Art and Music Festival on August 19. The day-long event will actually be held at the more spacious The House Of Blues and feature music acts, art, and photography. The Smoking Popes, Sin Anestesia, and Littlebirds are scheduled to perform.
The American Ska-Thic festival will celebrate its 25th Anniversary on August 19 at Metro. MU330, Coolidge, The Eclectics, Detroit Rude Boy Society, Skapone, Tango Wedding Band, and DJ Chuck Wren will be performing.
Carlos Santana's Transmogrify Tour comes to Ravinia next Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12.

Darren, that community PR guy for My Game Mug managed to rope me in a quick interview. It's the same group that's developed WoW Headhunter. Be careful! That guy's as sly as a Rogue. The interview on Massively involved both myself and Kree. We both chatted with Darren about what we looked for in candidates as guild leaders, recommendations for what new applicants can do and how important personality is.
And then there's the shameless praising of WoW Headhunter (naturally).
Some quips:
What are the top 3 things that you as a guild leaders look for in order to recruit the best candidates for your guild? (Answered by Matt)
Attendance – Are the people we are recruiting going to be able to make the majority of the raids? While it'd be awesome to pickup a really good player, if he or she can only do 1 or 2 raids per month, they're kind of useless to me and the rest of the guild since they're never actually there.
Knowledge – Often times, knowledge translates to in-game skill. I need to know how you play your role with your given class and spec, things like, when do you end up using your spells and if you use them in the most opportune times.
Personality and Attitude – WoW has a lot of challenges. We're going to try and accomplish big things and that'll lead to wiping over and over again. We need candidates that are going to tough it out and make their sacrifices. They have to have the right attitude and personality to want to get better and to help their guild out. They need to be able to stick with it even when times are bad.
What is your recommendation with what candidates should put in their application when applying to your guild? (Answered by Kree)
Originality. The application has to stand out, just like a resume. If it's too-safe or boring, it's difficult to stand out from everyone else. Let your personality out in the application.
Also, read the question completely! I asked a question about how people plan on utilizing dual spec and one of the responses I received was, "Maybe". This doesn't even make any sense! It shows that the person didn't really read through the application.

Photograph posted to Twitter by Engin Onder on March 20, 2014, with the caption: "#twitter blocked in #turkey tonight. folks are painting #google dns numbers onto the posters of the governing party." The poster shows the AKP candidate for Eskişehir.
Last Friday, DNS-themed graffiti and memes began to appear in Turkish streets and on the web, bringing the normally unnoticed architecture of the internet into public discourse.
The sudden focus on DNS, the system that translates a URL into its corresponding numerical IP address, was prompted by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's decision on March 20 to ban Twitter. Court orders were issued to Turkish internet service providers, who apparently implemented DNS redirects, meaning that requests for "twitter.com" would be routed to a different IP address and shown a warning page.
This kind of block is not particularly effective; users can easily circumvent it by using a public DNS server. Instead of sending the request for twitter.com to a Turkish ISP, users could simply change their computer's network settings and send the request to Google or OpenDNS, or any number of international, publicly available DNS servers. While this is easy to do, it's perhaps not widely understood, and so fans of internet freedom took to the web and the streets to spread the word about the DNS workaround.

February 20, 2001
Lawrence J. Goodrich, Communications Director, (202) 523-3240, ext. 27
Writing on behalf of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Chairman Elliott Abrams wrote Secretary of State Colin Powell February 16 to ask for "vigorous efforts" to support resolutions at the UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva in support of resolutions condemning China, Iran, Sudan, and other countries for violations of religious freedom and other human rights. The text of the letter follows:
Dear Secretary Powell:
I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom with regard to the 57th session of the UN Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR), which will be held in Geneva from March 19 to April 27, 2001. We understand that resolutions concerning human rights in a number of countries that engage in egregious violations of religious freedom will be considered during the upcoming session. The Commission urges you to undertake vigorous efforts - including bilateral and multilateral efforts to build coalitions and gain support - to ensure passage of resolutions condemning such violations in China, Sudan, Iran, and other countries. We recommend that you raise European Union co-sponsorship of the UNCHR resolutions when you host the EU foreign ministers on March 6. We also urge you to make religious freedom violations a prominent talking point in your discussions with Vice Premier Qian Qichen next month.
With regard to China, as you know, for the past decade U.S. efforts to secure adoption of a resolution condemning China's human rights record have not been successful. The Commission urges you to mount a sustained campaign at the highest levels to convince other governments to support such a resolution at this year's session.
In its first Annual Report of May 1, 2000, the Commission recommended that until the protection of religious freedom improved in China, the U.S. government, led by the President, should initiate and work strenuously to gain support for a resolution on China. Since the release of the Commission's report, China's religious freedom record has substantially deteriorated and become even more deplorable. In September 2000, China was again designated as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA). * According to the State Department's Annual Report on International Religious Freedom - 2000, the Chinese government's respect for religious freedom had "deteriorated markedly." In addition, the Chinese government has not agreed unconditionally to the resumption of a bilateral human rights dialogue with the U.S., which it had unilaterally suspended. The Commission believes that the strongest possible effort by the U.S. at the UNCHR to condemn the Chinese government will send the message that it cannot violently, systematically violate the right to freedom of religion or other human rights with impunity as far as its relations with the international community is concerned.
With regard to Sudan, at last year's UNCHR session the U.S. refused to support the resolution that was eventually adopted, stating that the resolution did not directly address certain gross human rights violations, including slavery and the continuing bans by the Sudanese government on humanitarian relief flights. The Commission has determined that the government of Sudan is the world's most violent abuser of religious freedom, and in the past nine months conditions there have worsened. The U.S. should push vigorously for a resolution at this year's UNCHR session that clearly articulates the gross violations of human rights and humanitarian law committed by the Sudanese government - including bombings of civilian targets, slavery, persecution of religious minorities, and interference with humanitarian assistance - and in particular target European countries for support for such a resolution. In addition, as it did last year, the U.S. should not support a resolution on Sudan that does not meet these criteria.
The conditions of religious freedom are very poor in Iran, particularly with respect to minority religious groups that are not officially recognized by the state and those perceived to be attempting to convert Muslims. Members of the Baha'i community suffer the worst forms of religious persecution at the hands of the state. In a letter to President Clinton dated November 1, 2000, the Commission recommended that the U.S. Administration should continue to support annual UNCHR resolutions condemning Iran's egregious and systematic violations of religious freedom and should recruit the support of other UNCHR member countries, until such violations cease. There are indications that support may be waning for a resolution that strongly condemns human rights violations in Iran, in spite of recent indications that the human rights situation is getting worse.
In addition to China, Sudan, and Iran, egregious violations of the right to freedom of religion continue in Afghanistan, Burma, Iraq and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). The U.S. should, in our view, continue to sponsor and/or support resolutions on human rights in those countries that condemn these religious freedom violations engaged in by the Taliban and others in Afghanistan and by the governments of the other countries.
Finally, in July 2000, the Commission wrote to then-Secretary of State Albright and stated that, in addition to those countries discussed above, the Commission determined that the governments of Laos, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Turkmenistan had engaged in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom and thus merited designation as CPCs under IRFA. The information contained in the State Department's Annual Report on International Religious Freedom - 2000 affirmed that these countries should have been designated as CPCs. Serious human rights violations (in areas other than religious freedom) are also reported to exist in each of these countries. No resolutions on any of these countries were considered during last year's UNCHR session. Their record on religious freedom warrants that resolutions be introduced and debated.
Similarly, the U.S. should give careful consideration to sponsoring a resolution on the deteriorating situation in the Moluccas in Indonesia. Communal conflict there has reportedly claimed the lives of 5,000 to 8,000 Christians and Muslims since January 1999. While we do not believe that the Government of Indonesia is promoting violations of religious freedom, there is evidence that the Indonesian government has not controlled its armed forces or the influx of armed groups from other islands, reportedly resulting in murder, forced mass resettlement, forced conversion to Islam, and torture.
Thank you for your consideration of the Commission's recommendations. We are very grateful for your willingness to meet with the Commission, as stated in your letter of February 6th, and have asked the staff to consult with your Executive Secretariat about scheduling such a meeting.

Because I've been considering selling off my DMX and going itb, I decided, while compiling stems, to do a comparison.
I grouped six stereo stems and sent them out one stereo channel on the Sony. It sounded just fine.
I then copied the group and sent each stem out to six separate stereo channels (twelve mono) so I could instantly switch back and forth. No board eq or compression, just straight monitoring.
This isn't the first time I've done this and the result is the same every time: the discrete mix is subtly better than the "itb" mix. It's easy to hear; the discrete mix has an openand spacious quality not apparent in the itb mix.
The itb mix sounds more upfront and in-your-face;less wide.
This has kept me on the now discontinued Sony for the time being, non-support issues pending and all; it's quite a revelation doing this with one's own source material and instant A/B switching.

Emotional Intelligence
"1. Understand the impact of attitude and emotions on our behavior and the behavior of others 2. Identify our work style and how to best work with others 3. Use emotional controls to inspire and motivate those around us 4. Implement ways to respond to emotional outbursts from others 5. Learn to control stress and worry"
"> Understand the connection between how we think, feel, and behave. > Understand your own workstyle and how can you flex it to deal with stakeholders with a different workstyle > Demonstrate greater effectiveness through improved emotional intelligence. > Maintain emotional control in difficult situations. > Control stress and worry to increase productivity and engagement "
Research shows that positive energy and emotional control results in high productivity, smart decisions, high retention rates, good morale, and strong teamwork. Studies have shown that raising overall emotional intelligence in an organization positively affects the bottom line. The good news is that whereas your IQ is set in early adulthood, EQ can be developed over the lifespan. At the completion of this module you will understand the connection between what you think, how you feel, and how you behave, and the competencies of emotional intelligence. You will discover your current emotional fitness level, explore how your emotions and "hot buttons" affect your job performance, and apply tips for maintaining positive energy and controlling emotions in difficult situations.
This Emotional Intelligence workshop helps you to see things from multiple points of view and manage your emotions in addition to influencing emotions of others. It enables you to form better relations and drive collaboration and engagement at workplace. Managing emotions also enables you to make objective decisions by factoring in decision making criterions and thus impacting your own performance and organizational results.

Earlier this month, Rhizome presented a panel discussion at the ICA in London titled "Post-Net Aesthetics." Following in the wake of prior panels (titled "Net Aesthetics 2.0") which were organized by Rhizome in 2006 and 2008, this edition was precipitated by the recent discussion of postinternet practices by a number of art institutions and magazines, including Frieze. We invited a longtime Rhizome collaborator, critic and curator Karen Archey, to chair and organize the panel, and what emerged was a wide-ranging and extremely generative conversation in which participants began to articulate some of the shifts they'd seen in artistic practice in recent years, while critiquing those shifts and their framing as "postinternet."

Bike lanes approved for North Avenue in Wauwatosa
The Wauwatosa Common Council voted in favor Tuesday night of new bike lanes for a 16-block stretch of North Avenue.
There will also be changes for drivers, such as more traffic signals to slow the cars down near the bike riders.
The Common Council had a lot of debate over this at its meeting.
Some aldermen worried about the roughly $1.6 million price tag for the project and the city being able to afford future maintenance costs.
But others felt this project was vetted well and that it's time to move forward with bike lanes for this area.
"Every little bit is going to affect our budget as we move forward, but the people have spoken, and we're going to find the money, and we're going to continue to provide quality services in Wauwatosa," Fourth District Alderman Dennis McBride said.
"Something definitely needs to be done. We need to slow the traffic down, make it a little more bike and pedestrian friendly," bike shop owner John Jensen said.
Construction on the bike lanes is expected to begin in July.

Not saying she should be, but how can he make a blanket statement like that before looking into the incident.
NYC--we are in big trouble with people like this leading our education system.
I've never seen such a well dressed group of child abusers. Mr. Walcott is a party to corporal punishment, which is what was perpetrated, at the least, on this child. Having dealt in the past with young children with emotional disorders, there were approved physical restraint procedures in place back then. I fail to understand what changed between then and now. When a teacher is accused of corporal punishment, they can be removed from the classroom. Is that why we now need police for an acting-out 7 year old child?
There has to be (or at least I really really really hope) more to the story then what was reported in The Daily News. I don't know why Walcott would not have looked into the situation first before making that comment.
I checked the school on the DOE website, and it is not a district 75 school, where certain restraints and regulations are in place for children who have severe emotional and social disturbances (I worked in a district 75 school for a short period of time). This was a regular school in a district in northern Queens.
As someone who has worked with students who have emotional disturbances, (I am sure I am not the only person who is asking this question), my first question is "What caused the outburst in the first place? What kinds of patterns of behavior has this student been observed for the past year?". There must be more to it, than just getting upset and have a severe reaction over decorating Easter eggs. Children do not have outbursts for any reason during the day.
There are just so many questions that I have in regards to this peculiar situation. I am not saying that I believe its okay to handcuff a 7 year old. I just think there is a lot more to the situation that meets the eye before anyone makes any judgments on all people involved.
I don't think Walcott is off the mark here. I have seen many 5 and 6 year old students lose control and the principal has no other recourse but to call 911. Many times the student is put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital for observation. But we do not know all the particulars here, and maybe this child was a danger to himself or others.
A big problem with special ed placement is that they place emotionally challenged students in classes with academically challenged students. I saw a kinder kid kick his teacher hard in the stomach. Another sp ed kinder teacher had a student who would constantly bite him. He had no recourse--even when he brought it to the attention of the union.
It's hard to believe that a little kid could have deep psychological problems, but they do.
Another Cathy Black-like blunder!
Let's see if the Press will notice.
Oh my gosh, I've been meaning to ask you how screwed you think we are now that our buddy Rahm has brought us Jean-Claude Brizard? I've read some pretty interesting things here in the paper about him. Not much of it is good. Plus, I read that NY wants him to pay the $100,000 is going to cost to find his replacement. I'm very worried about what coming for us. :(
A teacher would have been yanked out of the classroom immediately. Why double standards for admins? Oh wait, their #2's smell different, I forgot. Walcott should have evaluated the situation before making any comments, good or bad.
I think the only blunder in this story was Walcott's off-the-cuff remark. There are too many loop holes and unanswered questions to make a full determination on the real cause of the situation, (which is one of the reasons why I think the comment was off-the-cuff in the first place).
Teachers have been accused of corporal punishment in NYC public schools merely for giving writing assignments to students as a consequence for behaviors.
Yet, it's somehow OK to handcuff a seven year old in the NYC public schools, for creating a disturbance? I have worked with students at the junior high level that were considered to be emotionally disturbed, and am well aware that there are many younger children in the schools that could be classified as such.
Still, couldn't the adults in this school deal with this young child in a different fashion? Who's in charge here, I wonder?
Am I missing something. Wasn't it the police who used the handcuffs? So why would the teacher be yanked out??
If the child was possibly Autistic (spectrum) then handcuffs and touching the child is extremely inappropriate. Autistic children who have meltdowns need constant verbal reminders, not restraints, touching, etc.
I do not doubt that this situation escalated into a catastrophe because the appropriate modifications were NOT IN place for this child. It is very apparent that children (Pre-K-12) are not receiving the appropriate modifications that they need from the NYC Dept of Education. This is the result when children do not get what they need.

Walking from Memphis
It is coming across the wire that John Calipari has agreed to terms and will be the coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. Calipari took some time, but in the end it was not much of a decision. It is Kentucky, enough said. Like UNC, Duke, UCLA, and Kansas, this is the job you dream about. The possibility to coach at a school with tradition as rich as Kentucky, is a what coaches work towards there whole career.
Calipari has made Memphis into the powerhouse that it is – a very good program that will dominate C-USA and will have to fight to a No. 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA. But at Kentucky, if you win either then regular season or the tourney, you are guaranteed a No. 1 seed.
- But you must win championships or you will be forced out (i.e. Smith, Tubby – thanks crazy Kentucky fans).
I do think Calipari could have become a legend at Memphis, but would struggle to win a championship. If Calipari is able to bring any of his players and recruits with him, the Wildcats will be a contender and the favorite to win the SEC NEXT season (that might be a not-so-subtle statement on the state of the SEC, but he is that good at changing the culture.)
Curry to Duke
The nation's leading freshman scorer, Seth Curry, is packing his bags and heading to Cameron Indoor Stadium. Curry will not be able to play until the 2010-11 season, but will be joining a talented and deep Blue Devil squad – that depends on who returns.
Maybe Seth could convince his brother to sit out next season and join him at Duke in 2010. I mean, Stephen is the a big reason he is getting interest from Duke in the first place.
Draft Declarers
The majority of college basketball players are at home watching, just like me. But unlike me, many are being tempted by agents and who will paint a picture of teams throwing money at these young men like they have never seen before.
That is why I consider this the time when student athletes can ruin their lives, by making really stupid choices for all the right reasons. So, unless you are one of the guaranteed top 10-15 picks, DO NOT HIRE AN AGENT and please weigh the options, carefully.
Everyone who does not have the last name Evans, please proceed with caution.
Here is the list of the latest players to declare for the draft:
- Nick Calathes, guard from Florida
- DaJuan Summers, forward from Georgetown
- Brandon Costner, forward from North Carolina State
- B.J. Mullens, center from Ohio State
- Tyreke Evans, guard from Memphis
- Gerivis Vasquez, guard from Maryland
This would be a awesome six man line-up.
Things to Come:
- Break downs of both Final Four Games – Matthew will be look at the UNC/Villinova match-up and I will take the UConn/MSU game.
- Finale of DTP Bracket Challenge – a last look at the sad state of bracket.
- Recap of my Preseason Picks – some good, some bad. All in all, I can't complain.

I have a NASA HF-4E receiver, not the best in the world I know, but bought it to get back into HF listening, the problem I have is that I cant hear a damn thing from it
I have a 10 meter longwire antenna that runs approx 20ft above ground to some trees (unable to get it any higher than that at the present) that feeds into a 9:1 UnUn then Coax run of about 25ft (cant make it any shorter due to position of my property) and I cant even hear Volmet's
I have had HF receivers using the exact same UnUn & coax at my previous property and it worked ok, so I'm at a loss as to what could be wrong. Ideally I would like to take the receiver to a local amateur operator or another SWL that could test it for me, but I'm afraid that I dont know anybody that would do this. The coax is in very good condition, so I dont think that is the problem either.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong?? I understand it's a long shot because it could be any one of the components (receiver, UnUn, coax) at fault, but I'm hoping for some ideas if possible.
Many thanks in advance for any advice etc
