For the second time this week, U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, has surprised us with a move that seems downright, well, centrist.
On Wednesday, Graves, one of Georgia's most conservative members of Congress, voted with House Republican leadership to put off another confrontation with the White House over the federal debt ceiling. It was something that many of his colleagues – Democrats John Barrow and Hank Johnson, Republicans Paul Broun, Doug Collins and Phil Gingrey – couldn't bring themselves to do.
Then we have the lifting of the Pentagon ban on women in combat, signed by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta this morning.
Some Republican reaction has been predictable. "Putting women in combat situations is the latest in a series of moves where political correctness and liberal social policy have trumped sound military practice," GOP strategist Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, said in a Newsmax interview.
Former Florida congressman Allen West, a retired Army colonel, also has condemned the move.
But Graves this afternoon became the first Georgia congressman to issue an opinion on the Pentagon move. And he endorsed it:
"The Defense Department's decision, at the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, rightly honors the courageous service of our women in uniform. The new policy is on par with reality, as women already serve on dangerous missions all over the world and hundreds of servicewomen have been wounded or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Servicewomen will now have thousands of additional positions to compete for, yielding more opportunities for promotions and leadership roles. I am confident that our military leaders will implement the policy in a way that strengthens our military and guarantees that it will continue to be the greatest in the world.
We'll add more reaction as it merits, and comes in.

Actually, we're just not dense -
"History shows that the presence of women has had a devastating impact on the effectiveness of men in battle," wrote John Luddy in July 27, 1994, for the Heritage Foundation backgrounder.
"For example, it is a common misperception that Israel allows women in combat units. In fact, women have been barred from combat in Israel since 1950, when a review of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War showed how harmful their presence could be. The study revealed that men tried to protect and assist women rather than continue their attack. As a result, they not only put their own lives in greater danger, but also jeopardized the survival of the entire unit. The study further revealed that unit morale was damaged when men saw women killed and maimed on the battlefield," Luddy said.

If they can successful defeat insipid proposals like requiring transvaginal ultrasounds from GOP nutcases like Aesop, then women surely can serve in combat.

I think this is a great development. I think that we should be allowed to serve in combat, and I applaud the efforts to change the current policy. But in order qualify for combat service, we should have to pass EXACTLY the same physical standards that men have to.
Men must meet very strict, rigid physical requirements to qualify for one of the "combat" positions. A lot of men can't do so, and end up serving in non-combat positions because of that. Combat soldiers frequently have to carry heavy loads for a long time, covering long distances. That is a hard physical standard for many men to meet, and it will be even harder for women. Just because sheer physical strength doesn't matter much in a firefight doesn't mean that it's not absolutely essential for a combat soldier. I've heard many women complain that "it doesn't take a lot of strength to pull a trigger." And that's certainly true. But it does take a lot of physical strength and endurance to take your gear and weapons on a long patrol to the places where those firefights usually occur. And in addition, you may also have to help carry extra gear and wounded soldiers on the return trip. Physical strength and endurance is a mandatory requirement for a combat soldier, and that is going to disqualify a lot of women.
But no matter how much they complain, that requirement should not change. Over the years, we have seen a few large cities being forced to relax physical standards for female firefighters due to politcal pressures for diversity. And that has led to the death of some of those female firefighters, and also of some people whom the female firefighters were not physically strong enough to rescue.
I support and am proud of all the brave women who want to serve our country in some of the most dangerous positions in the military. But let's make sure that those who do are actually qualified, and not just given some "wink-wink" waivers in which we relax mandatory physical standards for the sake of political correctness. In the stories I've seen on the news, women ARE going to be held to the same standards that men are. And that's the way it should be. Good luck…we're proud of you!

Eleanor – Good comments and one thing should added; when I was in basic training if I had asked the drill instructor for a time out, he would have ripped my throat open. Nowadays, because the mental toughness is not exactly all there anymore, you can throw the little yellow flag when the drill sergeant is mean to you. I'm not sure how this concept works in combat but it seems to me ill advised to be practicing it. Mental toughness is just as important as physical toughness. Who wants someone manning your squad automatic weapon that's liable to wet their pants and run at the first sign of trouble?

The Heritage Foundation then and now probably thinks that women should just be barefoot and pregnant! What is their position on equal pay for equal work? Besides Aesop, the review was written in 1994; a lot has changed since then!
I have a conservative male friend who was going through a divorce 20 years ago and he commented then that women should be able to fight during wartime…just train them, let their alimony check be late…and they could whip anyone! And we thought the Marines are tough!

road kill – The war that was detailed in the 1950 study that the 1994 article referenced was fought in 1948, which was the last time Israel allowed women into front line combat. Apparently one miserably failed attempt was good enough for them. But I know you liberals; you'll just keep trying until destroy the whole country.

Aesop: Are you sure about your info? Quick search found http://www.businessinsider.com/this-recent-sinai-gunfight-throws-spotlight-on-coed-combat-2012-9, which details Israeli women in combat. I think that your ideas might be as outdated as your reference materials.

Does this mean that women should register for the draft now?
Since women now are equal to men in the most hostile environment in the world, then we must immediately repeal the "violence against womens act" since it proves that women are not equal. While we are at it men need to be recognized as equals to women when it comes to child rearing and we must immediately take steps to make sure children at least have a 50/50 chance to spend time with their fathers in divorces and with the children born out of wedlock.

And Allen West thought it was a super idea to terrorize and torture civilians to get "intelligence" – which later turned out to be useless. Who reads those rules of combat, anyway? Much less obeys policies – and orders subordinates to do so as well.
He's "retired" because the Army gave him the option to leave or be court-martialed. Not someone whose opinions on military policy I would honor.

Any divisive anti-equality position that the homophobic anti-women anti-education anti-freedom religious huckster frauds can get some publicity out of, or lobby money, like Ralphie got sucking up to Jack Abramoff's gambling clients–well that's the new fake "position" that a fraud like Ralph Reed wants to claim in front of the media.
What does this wimp know about combat? I remember this wimp in 4-H, and he was a pious grifter then.
As the Honorable War Veteran and Statesman Max Clelland said his grandfather taught him, "if the one that prayed the loudest and the longest at church is coming over for dinner…lock up the smokehouse."
Reed, just shut up. We know you are a fake. Go count your pieces of silver.

Women have been in combat for centuries. Heck even Molly Pitcher served with her husband during the Revolution. The Luftwaffe has entire squadrons of women fighter pilots. The sniper with the most kills in the Soviet Army during WW2 was a woman.
The problem with this ruling is women will shy away from joining the US Army now. In the past it was quietly done to allow the most talented into certain positions.
How many women would qualify physically to carry a 100 lb ruck sack, a SAW, ammo, and hump up the Hindu Kush mountains on a 26 mile trek to a fire base?

The problem with this decision is that it is based on ideology and not empirical evidence. This means that it will never be undone — never — if it proves to be a bad decision. If there was any chance that the decision would be evaluated in several years based on actual performance, I would be in favor of it for many of the good reasons already stated by others. But if it turns out to be a disaster that results in unnecessary deaths in combat, no one in the government will allow the policy to be changed because it would be an affront to some political constituency.

Mr. Graves never served in the Military and has little clue about "reality" when in combat.

*Orientation is for admitted students who replied positively to their offer of admission and completed an enrollment form. Space is limited and the event is not appropriate for prospective students and/or guests.
For us, the biggest event of Labor Day weekend isn't the DC Blues Festival, the opening of the Maryland Renaissance Festival or even my birthday. It's Fall Orientation!
But no matter how focused we might be on that one event, there are others you should be aware of.
Road closures related to the Grand Prix of Baltimore go into effect Monday, August 26. Please plan accordingly for increased traffic - especially if you have to travel through downtown.
Where has the summer gone?
In just over a month, we'll welcome approximately 450 new students to our School.
Are you one of them? If so, are you ready?
If you aren't, there's no need to panic. The following three tips will help you.
Admitted students who accepted their offer of admission to the following departments should report August 28:

(This post is part of News.me's ongoing series, "Getting the News." In our efforts to understand everything about social news, we're reaching out to writers and thinkers we like to ask them how they get their daily news. Read the first post here. See all of the posts, from writers and thinkers like Chris Dixon, Zach Seward, and Megan Garber, here.)
This week we sat down with Jake Dobkin, publisher of Gothamist, native New Yorker, and to date the only person to come in for an interview with typed up discussion notes. Gothamist is one of New York City's go-to websites for city news, information, and generally speaking, what's cool. But is it hyper-local? "I'm doing hyper-space-local news," Jake explained to me. "Is it hyper local? I don't know. But we're hyper-excited about it!" Metro reporters are an old film noir standby — their dramatic stories and hectic schedules always makes for excellent cinema. Jake is the 21st century's response to metro reporting.
Gothamist started in New York, but has since spread to a dozen other cities, rapidly populating the digital urban news space in a way that's somehow cool, approachable, and newsworthy. Covering New York City is not an easy task. There are a thousand things happening at every moment in America's biggest city. Gothamist has to be a nimble news force — finding news quickly, responding efficiently, and giving everything that razor's edge of taste that makes it worth coming back to. But reading the news when you're covering New York is its own adventure. Jake brings not just a rigorous work ethic to his news consumption, but also a philosophy refreshing to see in media. In spare time (which cannot be a lot), Jake takes landscape photographs at BlueJake.com and documents the graffiti scene at Streetsy.com and GrafRank.com. Oh yeah. Jake is a graffiti enthusiast. We told you he was a new kind of metro reporter.
What is Gothamist trying to do?
We're trying to be the best independent source for news, arts, events, and food in each of our cities. Our parents had independent alt-weeklies, and a lot of those companies have gone out of business because they went out of print. I see ourselves the next generation to that kind of independent media. We want to be a trusted tell-it-like-it-is voice in each city. We don't need to be comprehensive. My goal is not to be the New York Times Metro Section. It's to tell you like what's really interesting, most interesting, in each of these cities, each day. We are both meme-spotters and original news producers. On a good day, we're do both of those functions really well. We are the best meta source for New York, because we probably read 2,000 sources for the city — no normal person would have that interest — and from that we're pulling the best stories.
I really believe that aggregation, when done right, is a real skill. Pulling out the most important facts from the story, knitting them together, adding some original reportage on top — we do that. And then like any newspaper or magazine, we source our own stories. Our interest is probably a little different than most magazines. More interested in youth-friendly stories, things younger people are interested in. Some of the issues we cover — like a biker gets hit by a car — the New York Times would never cover that. But that's a story for us — especially if they got hit in Williamsburg, or something.
So what's your morning news routine?
I work half the day on the editorial side, and half on the publishing side, in business and management. But the mornings are editorial. So I wake up early, around 6:30am or 7am, and for about two hours, I work pretty consistently, trying to spot where the most interesting stories are in New York. My guiding principles are two things: First, like everyone, I want a high signal-to-noise ratio. I already have to sort this enormous sea of stories each morning to find the interesting stuff. I don't want noisy sources that make that job even harder.
The second thing is a little more spiritual. The Buddhists have this expression: Don't eat poison. As it applies to media, there are certain kinds of media that are bad for you, spiritually. Things that promote materialism, celebrity, the pain and suffering of others. Gothamist sites have a pretty positive voice. "Yay! We're excited about being here. We want you to be excited about being here." We're not trying to revel in negativity, because I think that's corrosive, spiritually. And I've done this now for eight or nine years, so I want to be a happy person. It would really hard to spend that much time doing something that covered celebrity stupidity or "buy this, buy that," because those are not values that lead to happiness. I try to find sources that are both high-quality in terms of signal-to-noise but also high-quality in terms of promoting values that I believe in. So a lot of the sources I read are more heavily fact-based, or high-quality, longer-form journalism. I really try to avoid stuff that focuses on Hollywood.
I start with email. I get a lot of email, because I'm copied on the email@example.com emails in New York. People just emailing us telling us what's going on. I'll also have a ton of PR pitches that I ignore, and I get alerts from two wire monitoring services here in New York. They monitor police, fire, and government radio frequencies, and they send us alerts when anything's going on, so it goes to my inbox overnight. We also get emails from the FBI, from most of the government agencies, and stuff. we just started getting emails from the police department last week. It took us eight years to finally fight them to put us on their PR list. We had to get press passes, which I now carry with me, just in case I walk into a story.
In a good day, I can get through email in about 20-30 minutes. By then, any really viral stories I might already be on to, because someone sent it to tips. But then I go through my "Core Sources" — that's actually what I call that folder — which is Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Flickr, and a service called Stellar, which Jason Kottke started. It tracks people's favorites. In each of those services, I have a signal-to-noise rule. I generally don't follow more than 75-100 people at any one time. I'm always deleting people. I've deleted the Dalai Lama. I've deleted my best friend. As soon as somebody gets noisy, or starts talking a lot about what they're eating, it's like dude, I just unfollowed you. And then I'll IM them, and I'll be like, "Dude, I just unfollowed you!" And they'll be like "Dude, that's so hurtful, man!" and I'm like, "Dude, live with it. Tell me when you're ready to stop polluting my channel."

MEQUON, WI (WTAQ) - Classes began as normal Monday at Lake Shore Middle School in Mequon, after a suspicious object was found there Sunday. Somebody found what was thought to be a pipebomb while cleaning up the school's wood shop area.
The Milwaukee County Bomb Squad came out. They moved the pipe to a safe spot and detonated.
It turned out to be nothing more than discarded plumbing parts.
Officials said the entire school was searched twice – and nothing else was found that appeared to be suspicious.

Parks Commissioner Found Dead At Canyon Country Home
A beloved community volunteer died Tuesday afternoon, leaving behind a town full of shocked and saddened friends.
Edward Redd, who was a Commissioner for the City's Parks, Recreation and Community Services, was found unresponsive by one of his children at a Canyon Country residence. Paramedics were unable to revive the 63-year old official.
"I am very, very sad," said Santa Clarita Mayor Pro Tem Marsha McLean, who appointed Redd to the Commission in 2002. "He was a wonderful, kind, sweet man and I am just broken-hearted."
"We lost a good man, we did," added DaAnne Smith, Executive Director of Single Mothers Outreach, where Redd served as a board member. "He has helped a lot of people in our community."
Described by all as a private man who put the needs of others before his own, Redd was a familiar face around Santa Clarita, especially when the causes were youth and families.
"He was responsible for getting our first Office of Criminal Justice grant to work with elementary schools and help kids who were having a hard time with family issues," said Adele Macpherson, Community Services Manager for the city. "He worked on the first Youth Master Plan and taught parenting classes for the city and was a huge supporter of the Community Center, especially the boxing program. Every event we had, Ed was there. He was just one of those guys who was always there for the kids and the parents and families, taking them to meetings or getting them help or telling kids to stay in school."
Macpherson recalled Redd's compassion and an incident when he popped his head into her office to ask for help.
"He said there was a guy who was sleeping in his car and wanted to know what we could do about it," she said. "He just cared a lot about people."
A graduate of Manual Arts High School and a resident of Santa Clarita since 1980, Redd even had a Facebook page, where he described himself as a fan of "classical, smooth jazz, pop, R&B and oldies music" and enjoyed science fiction and technical television shows, including all the CSI franchises.
Along with the parenting classes he conducted at the city and COC, Redd taught anger management classes for the Action Parent and Teen Support Group.
Macpherson said that Redd was one of three volunteers who took it upon themselves in the early 1990s to survey the community and zero in on youth issues, resulting in some of the programs still in force today. She said he set a good example and left behind big shoes to fill.
"Everyone is just in a state of shock," she said about his death. "He talked to the staff here just a few days ago. Our division is just devastated."
Smith said that in the short time that Redd was on the board - almost a year - he showed a passion for helping families.
"He had a concern for those who parented alone," she said. "A lot of the people who were going to his parenting classes were from single parent households and it was a natural fit for him."
"The best thing I can say about him is that he was a good man," Smith continued. "When we are looking for men for our board of directors, we see the value they bring to the table. We are looking for good men in particular because so many of the women we serve have come out of domestic violence situations. We are lucky to have some good community leaders, good fathers. Ed was a good man. We are at a loss."
Before she appointed him to the Parks Commission, McLean was familiar with Redd's volunteer spirit.
"I knew Ed from working with him at the Boys and Girls Club and several other nonprofits," she said. "I considered him a friend and knew he would do a wonderful job on the Parks Commission.
Traditionally, the City Council recognizes the passing of community leaders and sometimes commemorates their contributions by dedicating an event or landmark to them.
"I know that he was all for kids and all for youth," she said. "If there is something we can do to honor him in that way, I am going to see that we do something like that."
Funeral services are pending. Check back with hometownstation.com for details as they become available.

Ten years ago, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave some advice to Saleforce founder Marc Benioff that resulted in a gift that will keep on giving. Bloomberg
Upstart of the day—Three years before the death of Apple's co-founder, Marc Benioff gave Steve Jobs a valuable gift by handing over the AppStore name and trademark. Now that app developers can create vanity URLs using the gifted domain, it's worth acknowledging the legacy of the Salesforce founder's gift.
Pay attention techies and Trekkies, flying under the media radar last week, Apple launched custom short links (aka vanity URLs) under the AppStore.com domain. And Sunday, that domain—a gift from one billionaire chief executive to another—bore its first fruit, with what seems to be the first vanity app URL: appstore.com/StarTrekApp, for the upcoming Star Trek movie.
It turns out that when Steve Jobs announced the launch of the App Store back in 2008, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff was in the audience. Benioff, who owned both the AppStore domain and the trademark, committed one whopper of an act of kindness when he walked up to Jobs, right then and there, and gave him both.
"I have a gift for you," Benioff told Jobs in a Bloomberg interview. "I'm going to give you the trademark and the URL for AppStore because of all the help you gave me in 2003."
That help went to the core of the business model for Salesforce (NYSE: CSM), which at the time Jobs described as an "enterprise application," but which he told Benioff should be built into an entire ecosystem.
The application eventually launched as Salesforce's AppExchange. Benioff also acquired the AppStore rights, which he handed to Jobs for free five years later.
For some perspective here, Sex.com (an app that is sort of like a Pinterest for porn) sold for a record-setting $13 million in 2010. Last year, the biggest domain sales were Investing.com ($2.45 million) and PersonalLoans.com ($1 million).
That the App Store is now a platform for more than 1,000,000 apps gives an idea of how valuable Benioff's gift might actually be. In a time when Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) has become a controversial "trademarker" of everything from rounded corners to the recessed lighting of its brick-and-mortar stores, the gift is a refreshing reminder of one act of intellectual generosity being rewarded by another.

Trekking is another word for walking. However, the word trekking has become more well known for the kind of walking which takes you along trails winding up, down, over and around mountains. Trekking in Nepal is not mountaineering although some of the popular trails are used by mountaineering expeditions to get to their base camps. Most of the trails you will walk on are still used predominantly by Nepali people for everyday travel and trade. It is not uncommon to be passed along the way by a Nepali porter carrying lengths of corrugated roofing iron slung from a jute strap (namlo) around the head or a sick relative being carried in a basket (doko) in the same manner to the nearest medical facility.
Peak Climbing is another prime attraction of Nepal. The Mountains of Nepal have stood are irresistible landmarks for the world's adventurers since Nepal opened its doors to visitors in the 1950s. Mountaineering can range from climbing the highest peak of the world to climbing lower peaks. Although by Himalayan standards 33 "Trekking Peaks" are considered minor peaks, they nonetheless provide snow and ice-climbing, and are technically quite challenging. Mountaineering teams can apply for permit at mountaineering section of the Ministry of the Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation or directly contact to your local trekking agents.
There are numerous fine rivers in Nepal which offer excellent rafting or canoeing. You can glide on calm jade water with a magnificence of scenery all about or rush through roaring white rapids, in the care of expert river men. There are clear sandy beaches to camp or take a meal, and cool clear pools to bathe. One can opt for a day of river running or more. There is no more relaxing experience, no better way of getting from Katmandu valley to the jungles of the Chitwan Valley, a drop of thousands of feet in a new heavenly miles.

Three Aurora police officers and a concerned neighbor rescued two people off the roof of a burning home Wednesday morning in west suburban Aurora, the Beacon News reports.
Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli said firefighters were called to the two-story home in the 900 block of Garfield Avenue just after 10 a.m.
Three Aurora police officers arrived on the scene before fire crews and began the rescue, Ferrelli said. They, along with an 18-year-old neighbor, used a nearby ladder to help a man and woman off the second-story roof of the burning home.
A third victim, another woman, was able to make it out of the home on her own. All three victims were taken to area hospitals for non life-threatening injuries, including smoke inhalation, cuts and scrapes, Ferrelli said.
Four dogs made it out of the home safely, Ferrelli said.
More than 50 firefighters from Aurora, North Aurora and Sugar Grove continued to fight the blaze more than two hours after the initial call.
"The fire got into the walls and attic, making it very difficult to extinguish," Ferrelli said.
The Aurora Fire Department received help from the Naperville and Oswego departments to help handle calls while Aurora's resources were tied up trying to control the blaze.
Ferrelli said the house has been deemed a complete loss. No cause has been determined.

Curtain Rises Tonight on Second Dubai Film Festival
Sun Dec 11,2005
Dubai, December 11, 2005 – Months of planning and preparation will culminate in grand style tonight as international celebrities, regional stars and UAE VIPs walk up an 80-metre long red carpet and into the Madinat Jumeirah Arabian Resort at 8pm Sunday (December 11, 2005), to officially open the second Dubai International Film Festival. The Festival, being held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Defense Minister of the UAE, will be opened by HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Department of Civil Aviation and Chairman of the Emirates Group. Lit up by sky trackers and a state-of-the-art lighting system, the 800-plus VIP guests including a contingent of Hollywood film stars led by veteran actor Morgan Freeman, and a constellation of Arab stars headed by Egyptian icon Adel Imam will be welcomed to the Festival headquarters and the opening gala screening by Festival Chairman HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Department of Civil Aviation and Chairman of the Emirates Group. Other celebrities expected to grace tonight's red carpet include Laurence Fishburne, Diane Kruger, Hugh Dancy, Terence Stamp, Constantin Costa-Gavras, Alan Ladd Jr., Michael Caton Jones, Joshua Jackson, Noor Sherif, Yousra, Hanan Turk, Mona Zaki, Hind Sabri, Faudel, Deepa Mehta, Subhash Ghai and Sumner Redstone. Redstone, described as one of the most powerful media moguls of the late 20th century, is owner and CEO of Viacom Inc, and controls an empire that eclipses Paramount Pictures television and motion pictures; a battery of cable television networks including MTV and Showtime, and a number of radio and television stations and distribution services. "We at the Festival have been looking forward to this moment for the last 11 months, and so tonight (Sunday) is an especially exciting time for us," DIFF Director and CEO Neil Stephenson said yesterday (Saturday). "It gives us great satisfaction to kick off what we hope will be both a very memorable week for the film industry and for Dubai and the UAE, and an event that all of us in this community can be proud of." "We have tried to make the 2005 Festival stronger, larger, more diverse and more accessible than our inaugural edition, but it retains its original goals of bridging cultures through film and showcasing the best of Arab cinema for the rest of the world," Stephenson added. "Dubai has always been a crossroads, a place where the rest of the world comes to meet and do business. Starting tonight, it will also be a place where the rest of the world comes to share their love of film and talk about important world issues." Sunday's official opening will begin with a moment of silence in memory of the late President, HH Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, to whom the Festival's centerpiece program "Operation Cultural Bridge" is permanently dedicated. After a welcome by HH Sheikh Ahmed, Festival Director Neil Stephenson will introduce the director and cast of the opening gala film, Paradise Now, prior to the screening of the film. Special holding areas have been set-up around the Festival epicenter at Madinat Jumeirah to allow members of the public to see the red carpet action first-hand. The event will also be covered live on the Dubai Eye radio station, and will be broadcast later on the dedicated free-to-air Showtime channel DIFF TV. Tickets to the Festival have been selling fast, with more than 40 screenings reaching standby-only status, and requests for tickets coming in from as far as Germany. This year's larger and more diverse Festival includes 98 films from 46 countries and six continents, with new program sections dedicated to cinema from Europe, East Asia and Africa, the UAE, and emerging filmmakers from the Arab world. The Festival is expected to be the focus of all eyes on Sunday, and in coming days, with more than 1,000 members of the international, regional and local press and industry registered as participants. Hundreds of technical and administration staff assembled from around the world and a diverse army of multi-lingual volunteers featuring a strong contingent from the UAE's schools and universities will also swing into action today, to ensure the best possible experience for Festival-goers. More than 350 volunteers and special DIFF teams are in place from the airport to the multiple screening venues, with opportunities still available for anyone seeking to be part of this international event. At a DIFF Steering Committee meeting on Thursday, the heads of the different Festival management and administration teams reported full readiness on all operational aspects. Every inch of film has been checked, every screening venue prepared and fine-tuned to the level of international Festival standards, and every imaginable comfort and security detail included in the run-up to tonight's opening. The second Dubai International Film Festival opens, Sunday, December 11, and continues until Saturday, December 17, with 98 films playing at the Festival venues of the Madinat Arena, the Madinat Theatre in Souk Madinat Jumeirah and CineStar Cinemas at Mall of the Emirates. A series of interactive panel discussions will also be held at the Knowledge Village auditorium. Tickets, and an entire schedule of the Festival films and events, are also available through the Dubai Film Festival website www.dubaifilmfest.com, or via the DIFF Call Centre on 04-367-6701. The Festival is presented by Dubai Media City and its Founding Sponsors are Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Properties, Emirates, Etisalat and the Madinat Jumeirah – the Arabian Resort. The Festival's Gold Sponsors are Bin Hendi Enterprises, National Bank of Dubai, Showtime, The Kanoo Group and The Palm Jumeirah; the Silver Sponsors are Filmworks, Motivate Publishing and Sony.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Major oil and natural gas industry groups in Pennsylvania are backing efforts to change the state's endangered and threatened species laws, despite objections from some sportsmen's and environmental groups.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition, the Pennsylvania Independent Oil & Gas Association, and the Associated Petroleum Industries of Pennsylvania outlined their support in an Aug. 26 letter obtained by The Associated Press. The industry says the proposed legislation provides for more effective resource development, and more transparency.
But George Jugovic of the environmental group Penn Future says the legislation could make it nearly impossible to list new species, and that they strongly oppose changing the existing system.
The gas-rich Marcellus Shale has led to a drilling boom in Pennsylvania. The formation also extends under Ohio, West Virginia and New York.

Wanship • More than 70,000 acres of Utah rangeland, forests and high desert grasses still smoldered on Monday, but weary crews were near full containment of several lightning-sparked wildfires — and Summit County evacuees were finally allowed to return home.
Tschana and Matt Schiller stood quietly Monday morning with a group of neighbors, the smell of smoke drifting down the Summit County hills they call home. The Schillers — who have lived in the Wanship-area Rockport Estates neighborhood for about two years — had been displaced by the destructive Rockport 5 Fire and camped nearby for nearly a week while fire crews beat the nearly 2,000-acre blaze out of the neighborhood.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Authorities on Monday morning lifted evacuation orders, which impacted about 250 homes across four neighborhoods, and the Schillers were among a small crowd of people who showed up just before 8 a.m. to get back into their neighborhood. As she waited, Tschana Schiller said she and her husband learned of the fire after checking Facebook while driving to Idaho. They abruptly turned around and came home, but couldn't get back into their house until Wednesday for a short, supervised visit.
Tschana Schiller said the blaze came within about 100 feet of her home but did not cause any damage. Matt Schiller added that just three weeks ago they had cleared the brush away from the building — a concept known as creating "defensible space" — and that seemed to have made a difference. Authorities over the Rockport 5 Fire have repeatedly stressed the importance of defensible space, saying it gives firefighters a much better chance of saving houses.
Dick Sandoval also showed up Monday to return home. Sandoval said he was at home when the blaze broke out and his wife was having a party. When they learned of the fire, they immediately fled and didn't have time to grab anything.
Sandoval said his home, which he built in 2009, is about a mile up the hilly neighborhood. The fire got "within about a football field," he said, but ultimately didn't cause any damage. He added that during a supervised visit last week the area "looked all right" and that it was great to finally return home.
It was a long week for many, for those who waited nervously to find out the fate of their homes and for those working nearly around the clock to save as many residences as they could.
Just minutes after lightning struck a telephone pole and sparked the wildfire on Aug. 13, Bryce Boyer arrived with a crew of firefighters and attacked the blaze.
Boyer, the incident commander for the Rockport 5 Fire, said he and his men charged into a ravine between the Rockport Estates and Rockport Ranches neighborhoods. They cut fire lines and spray water while another crew tried to flank the flames near the Rockport Reservoir, near the spot where the lightning struck.
But the blaze was too much. During a tour of the burn zone Monday, Boyer said 80-foot flames spewed embers into the air, sending the fire over his trucks and onto a nearby hillside. Eventually, the flames engulfed much of the ravine and sent a column of smoke into the sky that was visible for miles.
Boyer and his crews eventually gained the upper hand and by Monday morning had the fire 90 percent contained.
During the tour Monday, Boyer pointed to the hillsides to show the locations of the eight homes destroyed in the blaze. In one spot, a pile of gray rubble sat surrounded by blackened gamble oak. In another, a driveway led up to a completely empty lot. All around, the smell of smoke wafted in the breeze. The black dirt was as light and loose as flour.
Alan Lindsley, who manages the Rockport Estates neighborhood, also attended the tour. While looking out over the destruction he said that when he first heard about the fire, he raced toward it to see what was happening. The area often sees small fires from lightning strikes, he said, but as he saw the blaze he realized the residents weren't going to be able to handle it on their own.
"I was right in the middle of it," Lindsley said as he traced the fire's progress in the air with his finger.
The fire burned a strange pattern into the mountain. One side of the ravine was completely black, but the other side still had patches of greenery amidst the ashes. In some cases, the plants extended right up to the side of homes. Boyer explained that those homes, which lacked defensible space, were saved only with considerable effort from firefighting crews.
In other areas, the plants were tinted orange, which Boyer said happened when planes dropped fire retardant on them.
Rocky Mountain Power reported that electricity had been restored to all homes in the area as of Monday morning.
Lindsley said water isn't running in the area due to broken pipes, which he said were damaged when heavy fire trucks drove over them. He also said the fire got so hot that it melted water meters in the neighborhood.
He hopes to have water running again by Tuesday. In the meantime, residents will have to rely on massive residential water tanks, which are normally used in the winter when the neighborhood water is shut off to avoid freezing pipes.
Meanwhile in Tooele County, evacuation orders in the Patch Springs Fire also had been lifted Monday, as crews made significant progress in containing the fire. The 31,010-acre fire, the largest in Utah, continued to burn in high desert brush, grass and trees over an area roughly south, west and east of Deseret Peak, across portions of the Goshute Indian Reservation in Skull Valley, Big Creek Canyon and East Hickman Canyon.
The blaze has destroyed a historic lodge and several homes, forcing evacuations and, at one point over the weekend, cutting power to Dugway.Next Page >

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - An international panel said today it's "extremely likely" that human activity is the main cause of global warming.
In Stockholm, a climate change panel of 195 nations called for global action to control carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.
In its previous assessment in 2007, the U-N-supported panel said it was quote, "very likely" that humans cause global warming -- especially with the burning of coal, oil, and gas.
Here in Wisconsin, climate change was a major focus of former Democratic Governor Jim Doyle late in the last decade. Since then, Republicans who took control of the Capitol either ignored the subject -- or tried to scale back what's been done.
Keith Reopelle of Clean Wisconsin said the environmental movement has lost a lot of its momentum.
Business interests say too many regulations come at the expense of jobs. Senate
Republican Glenn Grothman of West Bend has proposed rolling back the state's current requirement that 10-percent of the state's electricity come from renewable sources by 2015.
Assembly Republican Andre Jacque of De Pere wants to count nuclear power in that effort.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says utilities are almost at the 10-percent mark already -- and the market has reduced coal emissions by themselves, as utilities use cheaper-and-cleaner natural gas instead of coal to generate power.

How to Apply
To apply for a Massachusetts disability plate or placard, you can download the Application for Disabled Parking Placard/Plate (Form T20060)
or call the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) telephone center and ask for one to be mailed to you. You can also obtain an application at any RMV office.
Take the completed form and supporting documents to the nearest RMV office or mail them to the following address:
Medical Affairs/RMV
Registry of Motor Vehicles
P.O. Box 55889
Boston, MA 02205-5889
Give yourself at least 30 days of waiting time after mailing in the completed application. If you take your application to the RMV in person, your application will be processed on the same day.
Should your plates or placard be lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for a duplicate by mail (as long as your photo is in the database). You will need to submit a written request with an explanation to the address above and include: your name, address, Social Security number, DOB, and the date that the original was issued or the number of the placard.
- Disability plate: Standard $60 registration fee for 2 years.
- Disability motorcycle plate: Standard $20 registration fee for 1 year.
Disability plates and veteran disability plates are renewed by the same process as standard Massachusetts license plates.
Placards can be issued as temporary or permanent. Placards issued for 5 years are considered permanent. If you have one of these permanent placards, you will be mailed a renewed placard about 1 month before your current one expires.
Placards issued for a period of 2 to 24 months are considered temporary and will require certification from your doctor, chiropractor or nurse practitioner that the parking benefit needs to be extended or made permanent. You will need to reapply to the RMV yourself and include the updated certification from the medical professional.
Disability plates and placards can only be used by the designated recipient of the plate or placard. Get caught letting anyone else use it and you might have the plate or placard suspended or revoked. The operator of the vehicle can also have their driver's license suspended for 30 days. The fine for merely displaying a placard wrongfully can subject someone to a fine $500 to $1,000.
Using Disability Plates or Placards Out of State
Massachusetts cities and towns honor out-of-state disability plates and placards. Likewise, the disabled plates and placards of Massachusetts residents are honored in other states.Other Topics in This SectionFind Your

hot potato routing(n.) A form of routing in which the nodes of a network have no buffer to store packets in before they are moved on to their final predetermined destination. In normal routing situations, when multiple packets contend for a single outgoing channel, packets that are not buffered are dropped to avoid congestion. But in hot potato routing, each packet that is routed is constantly transferred until it reaches its final destination because the individual communication links can not support more than one packet at a time. The packet is bounced around like a "hot potato," sometimes moving further away from its destination because it has to keep moving through the network. This technique allows multiple packets to reach their destinations without being dropped. This is in contrast to "store and forward" routing where the network allows temporary storage at intermediate locations. Hot potato routing has applications in optical networks where messages made from light can not be stored in any medium.
Also referred to as deflection routing.

At Coffman Union at the University of Minnesota, there's little doubt which came first – the controversy, or the egging of a Chick-fil-A.
A more civilized approach is the online petition to kick the Chick-fil-A off the U of M campus.
In three days, it has gained over 600 signatures.
"We're doing the same thing to Chick-fil-A as the Minnesotan's for Marriage is doing to General Mills," said Matthew Haas, the student who started the petition.
But Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is unapologetic about his politics, saying his opposition to gay marriage is based on scripture.
Chick Fil A has never made it a secret that it runs its company in accordance with Biblical principles, and it has a long tradition opposing gay marriage.
But there's never been any evidence they discriminate, in who they hire, or in who they serve.
And the company has its defenders, too, like former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, declaring Aug. 1 "Chick-fil-A Day."
But for many, politics and fast food leaves a terrible after taste.
"People who support their philosophy will support them and people who don't don't have to eat there," said one passerby. "Yeah, more for us."

SAN ANSELMO, CA - MAY 09: The Facebook website is displayed on a laptop computer on May 9, 2011 in San Anselmo, California. An investigation by The Pew Research Center found that Facebook has become a player in the news industry as the popular social media site is driving an increasing amount of traffic to news web sites. (Photo Illustration by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Time is winding down before Menlo Park-based Facebook goes public.
That's now most likely between April and June 2012, according to many observers.
Companies go public all the time, but few the size of Facebook. Most market IPO experts tout the company's initial public value at somewhere between $80 billion and $100 billion; some say even more.
So what does this have to do with the state budget? A lot more than you might think.
To the extent that demand for Facebook stock is high, early stockholders will likely sell tens of millions of shares for what many expect to be huge profits.
Those profits will be taxed at the state's highest income tax rate of 10.3 percent, inasmuch as capital gains in California are considered ordinary income.
In turn, those revenues will generate a welcome flow of dollars to a financially strapped state treasury.
Just how much revenue accrues to the state from the sale of Facebook stock remains to be seen.
We do know this: in the four years after Google went public in 2004, the California state treasury collected an estimated $1 billion in taxes related to Google stock sales from 16 primary Google employees and a few dozen others, according to finance experts.
That's not exactly small potatoes.
To be sure, it's difficult to compare Google and Facebook for a number of reasons, including the current state
of the economy, interest in other IPO's, and other economic issues. But given the hype around Facebook, it's reasonable to expect state revenues to jump by much more than the billion dollar figure in a shorter period of time.
None of this is to suggest that the Facebook phenomenon will fill the gap in California's treasury expected to be $12 billion by June 30, 2013. Yet one fact is crystal clear: as the largest IPO in the state since Google, the Facebook entry into the marketplace is bound to create a stir and another Google-like windfall for the state.
And even if it's closer to a slight breeze than a windfall, California budget makers will be delighted with the additional income.

Hey, thanks Guys. Some one said to me that Paul was the Walrus, But I think he looks better as a giraffe. ;)
it is a great album (Abbey Road) and a great collage (yours). I remember the first time when I visited this street. I was looking for 10 minutes the point of view of this shot... but I wasn´t able to locate it. The real street was very different and I didn´t like it (a lot of traffic car).
It is a great album and "Carry that Weight" is a great tune. It is a shame that the street has changed so much, progress waits for mo one. thanks Oscar :)

i follow a handful of bisexual blogs and from time to time i see asks in which people are confused or questioning or they say something like "i think i may be bisexual, but i've never been in a relationship with this gender or that gender, so how can i be so sure."
when i was in the process of accepting/discovering/etc. my sexuality i told a friend that i had realized that there's a big difference between thinking you might like something and actually liking something. meaning it's about coming to terms with something that's always been there and weighing the outcome of that realization.
if you even feel a flicker of attraction for the same gender (or opposite) and the thought lingers or stirs something within you - you don't really have to let the thought marinate until you've experienced the same gender (or opposite). there's no need to justify to anyone your level of attraction for this gender or that.
speaking of justification: my favorite thing is when some people doubt the validity of bisexuality. as if you need to have dated this many men or this many women to be a "real bisexual" - or if you haven't dated either gender or only one gender than you aren't really bisexual. it's the same thing as asking, "well how do you know you're gay if you haven't been with this gender or that gender?"
when i was in that phase of exploration, i asked myself the same things and i finally started to question those common bisexual stereotypes and realized that even though stereotypes are based on some truth they don't apply to every individual.
i considered the thought of myself actually being homosexual, but i thought of the guys i had dated and my feelings toward them and i personally couldn't discredit that even though i had the same feelings toward women.
i'm not "greedy", "confused", "disloyal", or a "cheater" - if i were in a relationship with a woman, for example, and i left them for a man it doesn't mean they didn't satisfy me or fulfill me because they weren't the gender i needed/wanted at that particular time - it just means that something didn't workout between us. (and it also doesn't mean that i'm not a "real bisexual" or i'm actually heterosexual or i'm actually homosexual.)

ELY, Minn. (AP) -- The Department of Natural Resources confirms that a second bear tracked by wildlife researchers in northeastern Minnesota has been killed by a hunter.
A DNR spokesman says the bear was legally killed Friday.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports the Wildlife Research Institute in Ely says the bear's GPS collar was turned in at the DNR facility in Tower.
Institute founder Lynn Rogers says the loss of the bear known as "June" is "devastating."
Two other research bears have been shot this month including one animal killed Sept. 13 and another injured on Sept. 5. Minnesota's bear hunting season runs through Oct. 13. The DNR has advised hunters not to shoot collared bears, but it is not illegal.
Rogers is now left with eight research bears.

Mark Foster, known as MRK1 (formerly Mark One), is a dubstep, grime and bass music producer, originally from Manchester, England. He is known especially for his work with the Virus Syndicate, including MCs Goldfinger and Nika D, which he produces and provides instrumental tracks for, and his fusion of both genres.
MRK1 has been producing music for over last 10 years. He began making dnb and then progressed into Dubstep/Grime and more recently has seen him branch out into all genres of bass music.
Along with the likes of Skream, Benga, Hatcha and Plastician he was one of the first producers to pioneer the dubstep sound and was responsible for some of its earliest releases.
MRK1 has an impressive back catalogue of music spanning over ten years seeing him have over 50 releases on labels such as Sony,Tempa, Soulja, Vehicle, Rephlex, Polydor, Wall of Sound, Texture, Techonic, Earwax, Contagious, Play Me, Dim Mak, Terra Rhythm, Ministry of Sound, and Defected.
In 2004 MRK1, Plastician and Slaughter Mob released an album called "Grime" on Aphex Twins label Rephlex Records. This was one of the key releases that propelled the dubstep/grime sound into media for the first time. Dubbed as one of the pinnacle moments in dubstep history, this album went on to spread the sound across the world to markets who had never previously heard the name dubstep.
