Author Taras Grescoe writes about the great public transit systems of the world in his new book "Straphanger," a bullet-train of a read that looks at how the timely integration of subways, buses and rail has put cities on the path to success.
Also, a former Fayette County official adopts the great railroad song "The City of New Orleans" for an anti-T-SPLOST argument: Forget about your father's magic carpets made of steel; trains don't pay for themselves and won't untie Atlanta's traffic knots, he says.

GDOT and our legislature is he!! bent to prove that we can pave our way out of gridlock; we'll just have to pave our way out of gridlock again when the current effort to pave our way out of gridlock gets gridlocked again, in 5 or 10 years.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is not insanity, its Georgia's transportation policy.

What might have been much more effective than the current T-SPLOST is to have made this a referendum to raise the state's inadequate gas tax to fund road improvements only along with the targeted use of tolls in projects where capacity is added to the road network.
While mass transit upgrades and expansions could be paid for WITHOUT raising sales taxes, through the use of user fees, Tax Increment Financing (where property tax revenues from future development along transit lines pays for the construction, operation and maintenance of the line) and public-private partnerships.
The institutions that generate lots of traffic congestion (institutions like state government, large universities, etc) should be looked at as assets as opposed to liabilities.
In a great city like Boston, no one would likely ever suggest that the Massachusetts State Capital and highly-respected educational institutions like Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology move out of the city just to cut down on the traffic that these hollowed institutions generated because they didn't want to build and operate any roads or rail transit lines.
Despite the traffic that the Georgia State Capital, Federal courts and offices, the Centers for Disease Control, and educational institutions like the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Emory University generate, this city would be in a much worse state if those institutions were not here.
Running them away and moving them out would likely make this city something that is on par with Detroit.
We can't run our government and educational institutions and major employers out of town because we stubbornly don't want to invest in our infrastructure and help our assets to better function like every other major metro area does and has on the face of the earth.

Though as good as it sounds to move all of the government gasbags out of Atlanta, and trust me, it's an idea that sounds better the more that people think about it, I am pragmatic enough to know that it is not going to happen, meaning that we've got to come up with a workable solution to dramatically increase transportation mobility so that the Atlanta region can continue to function as Georgia's main economic, cultural and government center and a major population center on the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. that is the site of the world's busiest airport.
That means that like other very major population centers on the North American continent, including those like Boston, Phoenix and Toronto that are the sites of the capitals of their respective state/provinces, the Atlanta Region, with the aid of the State of Georgia, has no other choice but to make the long-overdue and necessary investments in a multimodal transportation network.
We can't move all of our educational and governmental (and according to some, our business institutions) out of town just because we don't want to pay to make the necessary infrastructural investments that we should have been making all along during the last four decades of explosive population growth.
While I don't necessarily agree that the T-SPLOST is the best way to start making those long overdue transportation investments, the fact remains that those infrastructural investments in transportation, water and education will have to be made if we are to remain a viable place to live moving forward.
There is just no way around it, we are going to have to spend the money that we've should have been spending all along during the past four decades of extreme boom times to build the necessary rails, roads, reservoirs (either big or small, doesn't matter as long as we build them) and make the necessary investments in education to remain functional.

A 36-year-old man from Independence Township in Michigan was attempting to show his concerned girlfriend that his three firearms in the house are of no harm to anyone, except evidently himself. The man, whose name was not released, was idiotically putting the pistols to his head and pulling the triggers, when one of the weapons discharged, killing him.
According to the Huffington Post on Tuesday, Oakland County Sheriff's deputies arrived Sunday night at the man's home in the 4400 block of Pinedale. His girlfriend was performing CPR on him when the paramedics arrived.
According to the girlfriend, the man has been "drinking all day," which likely contributed to his foolish behavior. He was evidently explaining to her that his three handguns are safe when they aren't loaded, according to Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe.
When he pulled the trigger on the third handgun however, which was loaded, it discharged. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman's three children were in the home at the time of the shooting – ages 7, 10 and 12 – but did not witness the shooting, confirmed authorities.
According to the Huffington Post report, there have been many such "accidental suicides."
This isn't the first time a gun safety demonstration has gone wrong. In January 2013, 18-year-old Florida resident Alexander Xavier Shaw died doing a similar demonstration. Richard M. McLean, a 22-year-old from Michigan, died in a similar fashion in June 2012. Missouri resident James Looney, 40, was also teaching his girlfriend about gun safety when he shot himself in the head in September 2009.

9 Film Characters Who Were Buried Alive
Thursday, September 23 by
Aside from sitting through a Tyler Perry movie marathon, what's more horrifying than the thought of being buried alive? OK, fine; watching Love, Actually. But you get my point. Being put underground and left for dead is a horrifying prospect. Which is what makes the new film, Buried, so intriguing.
The premise is simple: a man, played by Ryan Reynolds, wakes up six-feet underground with nothing but a lighter, a knife, a cell phone, and no recollection of how he got there. In fact, the premise is so simple that it doesn't seem like it could carry a feature film. But based on the positive reviews thus far, the filmmakers found a way to make a compelling movie about a man in a box.
In honor of this achievement, we've put together a list of nine classic "buried alive" movies. Enjoy, or so help me God, I will put you in the ground while you're still breathing.

Sesame Street's 'True Blood' Parody Learns Ya Rhyming
Thursday, September 23 by
Why "Sesame Street" made a "True Blood" parody entitled "True Mud" is beyond me. I'm assuming it caters to moms who are familiar with the HBO series, and little kids whose parents have no problem exposing their spawn to vampire hate sex. That's progressive for a children's show.
Check out the video of "True Mud" after the jump. Then maybe after you can tell me what the hell True Mud is and why grouches require it. And if grouches do require it, why isn't Oscar THE Grouch the one asking for it instead of some Southern emo puppet?
'X-Men: First Class's James McAvoy Will Make Us Forget All About Patrick Stewart's Xavier
Thursday, September 23 by Reza F.
"Oops. Didn't see you there. I was just posing naturally."
MTV met up with James McAvoy to talk about his upcoming turn as Professor X in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class. He knows that he has some large shoes to fill, as the role seemed tailor-made for Patrick Stewart, but he's confident that he can bring his own touch to it.
"I'm basically going to try and bury Patrick's performance. I think the fun about these films, when you go back and you either reboot or do a prequel, is you get to see how people became who they are. That means that you have to do them differently and by the end of the movie you have to do them the same way. The interesting journey is what happens to them, what changes them, what makes them evolve — not just mutate, but emotionally and psychologically evolve."
Oooo. Those are some tough words. I'd be careful what I say about Sir Patrick Stewart. The man is quick with a comeback after all.

Rob Zombie to Film 17th Century Period Piece 'Lords of Salem'
Wednesday, September 22 by
Renaissance man Rob Zombie has signed on to write and direct Lords of Salem, Deadline is reporting. Based on the title alone, I'm assuming it's a 17th Century period piece about a group of noblemen, and not a film involving a demonic 300-year old coven of witches set in contemporary Salem, MA.
"What excited me most was Jason saying, you can have total control over the script, casting and final cut," Zombie told me. "I said I'm in."
Really, What excited me most is when I found out they were making Hobo with a Shotgun into a full-length feature. But to each his own, I guess.
Shooting is set to begin next year.
Scarlett Johansson's 'Black Widow' To Be A Movie Now Too, I Guess
Wednesday, September 22 by
"Oh, you want to give me my own movie? Okay."
If you bought a movie ticket to Elektra and enjoyed it so much that you went out and bought a DVD or Blu-Ray copy, it's time for you to ask for extra shifts at the Moron Store (where you work) so that you can save up for the next needless big screen adaptation from Marvel. Marvel head Kevin Feige confirmed today that they have been in talks with Scarlett Johansson about her Iron Man 2 non-character Black Widow getting her own movie.
They're not going to get too deep into discussions regarding plot just yet though. The Avengers is their number one priority. They have artistic integrity, you guys. (Screen Crave)
'Inception' To Become A Video Game For Some Reason
Wednesday, September 22 by
Just call him Leonardo DiCoinoprio. Christopher Nolan has unveiled plans to some Romans that a video game based off Inception is in the works.
"We are looking at doing is developing a videogame based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can't fit into a feature film. That's something we've been talking about and are looking at doing long term, in a couple of years."
Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. My mind is still pretty messed up as is thanks to the end of Metroid. (Variety)
Wachowski Brothers' Film to Feature Gay Soldiers Hating Bush
Wednesday, September 22 by
For years, I've been writing the major studios and begging them to make a film about American servicemen engaging in hardcore gay sex and taking part in a plot to kill George W. Bush. And for years, the Secret Service has been asking me to stop. And stop I will, now that my requests have finally been answered by none-other than the Wachowski Brothers (or whatever you call them now) and their new film, Cobalt Neural 9.
The story starts off as, yes, a hardcore romance between the American soldier and the Iraqi soldier during the second Gulf War– they are depicted "rutting like animals behind this fence" while wearing burqas– but when disaster strikes, the two plot to kill the man responsible for the war: George W. Bush.
Wow, I'm not sure that will play in Peoria. But then again, I could be wrong. After all, two dudes wearing burqas and "rutting like animals" still sounds less gay than Wachowski's live action version of Speed Racer. (Cinema Blend)
"Eastbound & Down" Actress Ana de la Reguera

She will be a regular cast member on the new ABC cop drama "Detroit 1-8-7," a show that from the rumors of the failed first pilot will not be on past a few episodes. So check Martinez with her badge and gun before it's too late.

Norm MacDonald Developing Sports Show for Comedy Central
Wednesday, September 22 by
Does the crappy screen shot above look familiar? It should. It's Norm MacDonald hosting the 1998 ESPY awards for ESPN. His performance insulted so many athletes that he was never asked to return, but it's still one of the funniest, bravest performances you'll ever see.
Now, over ten years later, Norm is returning to the world of sports with his own sports-talk show on Comedy Central.
The show would be a satirical look at the sports world. On board with MacDonald is Daniel Kellison, a veteran TV producer whose credits include ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "The Man Show," according to person familiar with the project…
I know some people (like our friends at Warming Glow) are afraid Norm isn't a good fit as a talk show host. And I see their point. But if he can manage to create a show that's half as funny as the following clip, it will still be hilarious. (Show Tracker)

Jodie Foster Stands By Mel Gibson's Work In Her 'Beaver'
Wednesday, September 22 by
She's got his back.
No word yet if The Beaver will see a theatrical release, but director Jodie Foster has come to Mel Gibson's defense when asked about the disgraced star's recent scandal and beating in the press. Foster tells More magazine about her brother from another mother. Take it away Jodie:
"[Mel is the] easiest, nicest person I've ever worked with [and] the second I met him, I said, 'I will love this man for the rest of my life.'"
In all fairness, her other best friends are Darth Vader, that guy who punched Snooki, and that chick who threw those puppies in a river.
"When you love a friend, you don't adandon them when they are struggling. Of course, Mel is an undeniably gifted actor and director, and 'The Beaver' is one of his most powerful and moving performances. But more importantly, he is and has been a true and loyal friend. I hope I can help him get through this dark moment."
She then added: "Oksana really should have just blown him in the jacuzzi. He deserves it." (via The Playlist)

The Company recognizes that enhancement of corporate governance is one of the top priorities to achieve the management vision of enhancing corporate value by deepening society's trust in the firm and increasing the satisfaction of stakeholders, including that of shareholders and clients. On this basis, the Company is committed to strengthening and improving the governance framework by pursuing transparency in the Company's management and expediting the decision-making process within the Nomura Group.
The Company has proactively engaged in establishing a governance framework to ensure transparency in the Company's management. Among other endeavors, when the Company adopted a holding company structure and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 2001, the Company installed Outside Directors and established an Internal Controls Committee, a Compensation Committee (the majority of the members are Outside Directors) and an Advisory Board of eminent persons from outside the Company, and further improved its information disclosure system. In addition, in 2003, the Company further strengthened and increased the transparency of the Company's oversight functions by adopting the Committee System, a system in which management oversight and business execution functions are clearly separated, and established the Nomination, Audit and Compensation Committees (the majority of the members of each committee are Outside Directors). At the same time, considerable authority for the execution of business functions has been delegated to the Company's Executive Officers to expedite the Nomura Group's decision-making process.
In addition, the Company is striving to fulfill its responsibility to all stakeholders by establishing the "Code of Ethics of Nomura Group" in 2004, which specifies matters to be observed by each director, officer and employee of the Nomura Group with respect to corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.

TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors
Ricky Rubio made some sweet dishes in Minnesota's loss Sunday to the Golden State Warriors. Visual evidence of that after the jump. The phenomenal point guard nearly triple-doubled with 16 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, and six steals. Rubio looked like the pre-ACL tear Rubio. He also did some very Rubio things, making just 3-of-11 shots and turning the ball over six times. The Wolves play three games this week before a six-week stretch of four-game slates.

Reduction (orthopedic surgery)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
|Reduction (orthopedic surgery)
Reduction is a medical procedure to restore a fracture or dislocation to the correct alignment. This sense of the term "reduction" does not imply any sort of removal or quantitative decrease but rather implies a restoration: re ("back [to normal]") + ducere ("lead"/"bring"), i.e., "bringing back to normal." When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation. For the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position. Orthopedic surgeons attempt to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction.
Reduction could be by "closed" or "open" methods.
- Open reduction refers to the method wherein the fracture fragments are exposed surgically by dissecting the tissues.
- Closed reduction refers to manipulation of the bone fragments without surgical exposure of the fragments.
Once the fragments are reduced, the reduction is maintained by application of casts, traction or held by implants which may in turn be external or internal. It is very important to verify the accuracy of reduction by clinical tests and x-ray, especially in the case with joint dislocations.

ANNAPOLIS, MD (Jan. 27, 2012) – The Maryland Department of Agriculture is encouraging residents to consider joining a community supported agriculture (CSA) farm to support local farmers while receiving healthful, fresh produce all summer long. CSA members pay an upfront subscription fee to farmers in return for a share of the season's harvest, which is usually provided weekly. For convenience, many CSAs deliver to central locations for pick up closer to subscriber's home or work on a certain day of the week. Still others have special rates if the subscriber helps with the harvest on the farm.
"CSAs are another way for residents to buy fresh, nutritious food directly from a local farmer and to better understand how our food is grown," said Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance. "This is the time of year to join a CSA and enjoy the fruits of local farms all summer. By purchasing local food, consumers reduce the carbon footprint of food transportation and protect the environment by keeping land in farming rather than development. It's also another great way to support our family farmers and local economy."
According to the most recent agricultural census completed in 2007 by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, there were 12,549 farms in the US marketing their products through Community Supported Agriculture. In Maryland, there were 161 CSAs.
Make sure to sign up soon, CSA memberships typically fill up fast. Check out the CSA listings to see which arrangement, pricing, variety of products, and pick-up location will work best for your family and act now to reserve your spot. The department's Maryland's Best web site currently contains 84 farms that offer CSA programs. To find a CSA farm near you, go to www.MarylandsBest.net.

I served this dish for a large Christmas gathering a few years ago to rave reviews. I forgot about it until this year, when flipping through my cookbook looking for something else. I realized I had all the ingredients on hand and thought I'd add it to the buffet table. It was a hit again, and my s-i-law called me that night for the recipe so she could serve it to her in-laws. Beautiful colors, wonderful flavor, and very easy to throw together. I followed the recipe exactly. We served it with a Prime Rib Roast, mashed potatoes, green beans and a salad. It looked beautiful on the table sever in a crystal bowl. I made 2pounds of carrots, had 11 adults, 4 teens and 5 little ones. There wan't a morsel left. Next time I might make 3 pounds for this crowd.
Honey-Glazed Cranberry Carrots
A simple carrot dish like this is a bonus for the busy holiday cook.
Yield: 4 cups
More From Oxmoor House
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 pounds carrots
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 15 to 20 minutes or until glaze is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Meanwhile, peel carrots, and slice into 1/4" diagonal slices. Place carrot in a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook 12 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Add carrot to honey-cranberry mixture; toss well.

Quote: "The second move you acquire is Backstab, which will unfortunately not even warrant a position on your hot bar. It's a largely useless move currently, with no Backstab spec being viable anywhere."
Backstab does more damage then Sinister Strike, and is a great opener against mobs that don't aggro (the type of mobs that a level 4 will be encountering often). As a burst damage ability, it will kill mobs faster then simply Sinister Striking over and over again. As well, a level 4 doesn't have any spec, so they should be using Backstab for quite a few levels until they get enough talent points to differentiate their play style one way or the other.
Brad Powers said...
Yes, Backstab should absolutely be used as an opener. Also, use Evasion whenever it's available? Because having it "ready" is a waste? That's silly. Why blow it on a single mob, only to have it on cooldown when you really need it one minute later? Always save it for emergencies or difficult fights.
On my rogues, until I get Ambush, my opening rotation is Stealth, Sap (if possible), Pickpocket (again if possible), Backstab, Sinister Strike, Eviscerate.
Ambush replaces Backstab here.
While fighting I will gouge and then backstab, up until I start using poisons, which usually breaks the gouge.
Once I start using poisons, the only time I use backstab is if I am partied with someone and the creature/NPC/opposite faction player we are fighting is focused on my party member and I can get behind.
Brad Powers said...
"There are very few fights that a rogue will lose if they don't have Evasion available."
Exactly. So what's the point of using it, except for those "few fights?" Three minutes is short, but not short enough if you're in a tight spot and it's on cooldown.
curtisrutland said...
Well, if i recall correctly, in the last episode he suggested using the BoA swords, so backstab is useless if you do that.
However, if you are using daggers, Gouge+Backstab should be a standard part of your rotation.

. The lenses are the pre-1999 white EF lenses (some of which are still current and relatively popular): the 200/1.8L, 300/2.8L, 300/4L, 300/4L IS, 400/2.8L, 400/5.6L, 500/4.5L, 600/4L, 35-350/3.5-5.6L, 70-200/2.8L,and 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS.
i think she charged it too, as it was not put in the box as i had put it! all is good!
I learned much from this site.
Adobe lists the lens under samyang , but it's all the same
Thanks for the reply...
I should have mentioned I don't have adobe, I"m using Aperture 3...so, either need a plug in for that, or standalone.
Open source would be preferable. I've read that UFRaw would do it...but can't seem to find a version of that for 5D3 and this lens...so, still looking.
I've just started looking at them in Aperture 3 to do a little PP..and they look great so far, exposure was pretty spot on, not much adjustments there. I've not tried to get any programs to adjust the distortion, but from what I'm seeing and what I was shooting..not really seeing any bad distortion, not like if you were shooting a brick wall where it is more apparent.
I recall from the 5D III manual that third party lenses are not able to use as many of the focus points as Canon's. For lenses like this one, whose optical performance and focusing speed seem to be on par with Canon's, is that the only downside?
Have the 5d3 and 35mm 1.4 Sigma and can use all the AF points like my L 2.8 glass can on the camera. All 45 cross and 61 points are usable.

Since launching his career in 1991, Muchadehama has handled high profile cases that involved the violation of human rights by state security agents, among them the police and army.
He says his desire to stand up for human rights was strengthened by the food riots of 1998, which were later followed by a crackdown by police and the army on civilians.
"I have a passion for cases relating to the violation of human rights, especially cases which involve people who are susceptible to abuse. My passion for human rights cases intensified following the 1998 food riots when police roped in the army to crack down on civilians," he said.
Muchadehama said he was touched by the victimisation of innocent civilians during that period which led to police cells as well as Chikurubi prison being flooded by innocent individuals.
Household name
"To me, that was very fundamental. There were many victimisations during that period and I stood up for the rights of most of the accused persons who were later on cleared," said Muchadehama.
After that, he became a household name as far as defending human rights in Zimbabwe is concerned.
He has represented high profile people such as National Constitutional Assembly chairperson, Lovemore Madhuku, when he was arrested during his campaign for a "No Vote" during the 2000 referendum.
"I have also represented a lot of MDC activists who were arrested on trumped up charges during the 2002 (presidential) elections. In 2003, I represented Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai when he was arrested in Kadoma," he said.
Muchadehama has also represented big wigs within the MDC-T who include Ian Makone and his wife Theresa Makone, Nelson Chamisa, Elton Mangoma and countless others.
Awarded for his work
In 2009, Muchadehama was part of the defence team for Zimbabwe Peace Project Director, Jestina Mukoko, and a host of MDC-T activists who were abducted by state security agents on trumped up charges of conniving against the government.
The human rights defender has received several awards in recognition of his sterling work.
In 2003, he received the Human Rights Lawyer of the Year award for bravery and consistency in defending human rights. In 2010, he was nominated for the Human Rights Tulip award in the Netherlands. During that same year, Muchadehama won the Civil Society Organisations Human Rights Award for unyielding commitment, bravery and consistency in defending human rights.
He won the Dutch Foundation Lawyers for Lawyers Award last year.
Muchadehama was the first male recipient of the Women's Human Rights Defender award, courtesy of the Zimbabwe Women Lawyers Association, in 2011.
Despite the ground he has covered in his work, Muchadehama remains concerned by the level of human rights violations in Zimbabwe.
"There are a lot of violations in Zimbabwe which are occurring at unprecedented levels. The human rights violations are widespread and systematic and the perpetrators have been descending on innocent civilians," said Muchadehama.
A culture of respect
He said the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission should be empowered to effectively carry out its mandate so that a culture of respect for the rights of civilians prevails in the country.
"The setting up of the commission should not be a window dressing measure. There are reputable people there and they should be given the necessary leeway to operate. They should not be limited in their operations," he said.
He said there was need to ensure the independence of the judiciary and reform of the police and the Central Intelligence Organisation in order to avoid political interference and foster a culture of respect for human rights.
Muchadehama, who is also the Chairperson of The Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe, expressed concern over adverse laws that curtail media freedom in the country.
"We still have adverse laws like AIPPA and POSA, among others, which tend to curtail media freedom. At the same time, you have the Presidential insult laws that also curtail the freedom of the media," said Muchadehama.
He expressed concern over state regulation of the media as well as the reluctance by government to open up space for new players in the industry.
"We believe that voluntary regulation is the way to go because we are convinced journalists are professionals and must regulate themselves," said Muchadehama.

Despite hot hitting, infielder loses starting role when Desmond returns
You have to feel for Nationals infielder Steve Lombardozzi.
In his first full pro season, Lombardozzi has been a jack-of-all-trades. A natural second baseman, he has found himself playing left field and third base along with his natural position at second base. When he finally earned the chance at regular playing time thanks to shortstop Ian Desmond's oblique injury at the end of last month, Lombardozzi took full advantage.
With Danny Espinosa moving to shortstop while Desmond recuperated, Lombardozzi took over at second. From Aug. 3 through the end of a long 10-game road trip that ended Wednesday, the 23-year-old put together his best run in the majors. He batted 21-for-59 with three doubles and two triples. He scored 11 runs. He walked five times and struck out just nine times in those 14 games. That is normally a pretty effective way to keep your job.
"[Lombardozzi's] been a regular his whole life, and he was basically a regular here -- first as a left fielder and then as a second baseman, his normal position," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "He doesn't really have a weak side, left or right, although I've been using that as an excuse to play [outfielder Tyler] Moore."
And yet when Desmond returned from the disabled list Friday, he was back at shortstop and the equally red-hot Espinosa was back at second. That left Lombardozzi back on the bench as a super-utility option -- the role he began the season playing. But despite his incredible road trip, Lombardozzi won't start again until Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets.
"They got better," Desmond joked about his team's play without him for 25 games. "No, we have a great team. We've been doing this all year long. Danny came in and did a great job. Lombo played outstanding. I just hope I can contribute."
On Saturday against the Mets, true to his word, Johnson found playing time for Moore in left to keep his bat active. Lombardozzi began the game watching from the bench for the second night in a row just hoping to wrangle a pinch-hitting appearance late in the game. It's not an ideal scenario for Lombardozzi, but it's an added luxury for a Nats club that is just about at full health for the first time this season. In that case, sacrifices have to be made.
Lombardozzi is batting .280 with two home runs and 21 RBI. He's a fine defensive player at second, though his time in left field was filled with adjustments. His on-base percentage is up to .329 -- not bad for a reserve in his rookie season. He's also a relatively good contact hitter with 39 strikeouts in 332 at-bats.
"[Lombardozzi's] been getting some pretty good, big hits from the right side as well," Johnson said of his switch hitter. "But he's on a team that's got some very talented players up the middle."

Eddplant | Run When I Say Run
My latest Trock song, in case you missed it! New one coming this month!
Eddplant (ft. Dave Giles) | Galway Girl (Originally by Steve Earle)
Snapshot 2013 by Eddplant
Earlier today, I was sad, so I decided to play guitar. I asked twitter if there were any songs they'd like to hear live acoustic versions of, and after recording three suggestions I noticed a connection between the songs, and added two more to complete an EP. What had begun as a way to occupy my mind from sadness became a creative endeavour. Here's what I wrote on bandcamp:
This EP is a snapshot in time. More accurately, it's a snapshot of two times. Of a time in my life when I was in love, without realising it or ever exploring it, and a time in my life when I was sad, alone in a bedroom, and needed to occupy my mind.
The EP is available on bandcamp for a minimum donation of £2
Sunshine of Your Soul - Eddplant
When rain filled clouds have darkened the sky
When heartbreak has refused to die
When all I want to do is cry
The sunshine of your soul shines through
The days are darker, hard to bear
And hearts feel daily wear and tear
And when I don't know what to do
The sunshine of your soul shines through
Without our word, the world still turns
There's little that we're needed for
And when we think that we are through
The sunshine of your soul shines through
When rain filled clouds have darkened the sky
When heartbreak has refused to die
When all I want to do is cry
The sunshine of your soul shines through

When I started making music in 2007, it was largely for my own enjoyment. Through a number of experiments and circumstances I have ended up making and releasing Folk and Pop Punk material, but it hasn't always been that way.
This collection showcases a few of the original pieces that I made on my way to where I am now, that never really lined up with anything else. It also features demos of songs that were eventually reworked to fit on larger works.
These tracks could be seen as Bonus Tracks, and while they were made for the love of making, I would appreciate any amount you feel you can pay for them, so that the journey can continue, and I can continue to experiment and release new music.

Here is a video I made
Listen to my words and look at my face
Track: Netherton (Until The Machines Came)
Artist: Eddplant
Album: Nothing to Worry About
29 plays
Netherton was a mining town
'til 1852
'til Noah Hingley chained her down
to the banks of the number 2
but the pay was good
and the boss was fair
and the shipping trade was booming
singin' "Hey, Danny, don't you break the chain"
Well we were all forging nails
'til the machines came
'til the wages dropped, as the fat cats
tried to stay ahead of the game
There were riots and strikes
as we fought for our rights
But in the end it was all in vain
Now hey, Danny, don't you break the chain
My father and my father's father
worked the factory line
As I grew up along the locks
I thought from time to time
if I played my cards,
I could travel far
and leave this life behind
but my mother's voice still echoes to this day
Singing, "Hey Danny, don't you break the chain!"
Weigh the anchor to hold us fast,
these chains of love were built to last
Hey Danny, don't you break the chain
Now I am a man, and I've
a family of my own
I earn my wage at the linking game
it's the only work I know
The foreman calls along the line,
he calls me out from time to time
says, "Hey, Danny, don't you break the chain!"
My mind is set for labour
when I step out of my door
And when the day is done,
I leave my work on the factory floor
Cause links of steel
are easy to heal
but a happy home is worth the strain
I ain't never gonna break the chain
Weigh the anchor to hold us fast,
these chains of love were built to last
and nothing's gonna take my love away
and all the links are hands in hands
and every man across the land, sing:
I am never gonna break the chain
Nothing To Worry About is now available in multiple formats on Bandcamp for a minimum of £7! music.eddplant.com— Eddplant (@eddplant) January 2, 2013
November is over and I don't have a reasonable excuse to keep this thing on my face but I can't decide if I like it…

This place is all smiles. Great atmosphere and love seeing the pastry chefs ice their cakes through the window as I pass by on my way to work. The cake was moist and flavorful, not extraordinary but would definitely come back for a pastry.

Mali's national action plan for wetlands
Mali's Government launches the implementation of the National Action Plan for wetland management (PAZU)
Mali's government has officially launched the implementation of its national wetland policy, after it was adopted in September 2003. A ministerial decree (n° 05-2252/MAE- SG of 28th September 2005) has led to the creation of the coordination unit for the National Action Plan for Wetland Management (PAZU, the national wetland policy action plan). This newly-created structure will depend upon the National Directorate for Nature Conservation and will have the following mission:
i) monitoring of the programme's implementation;
ii) putting a partnership framework in place for the project's implementation;
iii) building, managing and distributing a wetlands database;
iv) formulating and supporting the implementation of management plans and sectoral management schemes;
v) running a capacity building programme in order to ensure users' effective representation and participation (organisation of national wetland committee);
vi) producing legal and statutory tools for the management of wetlands in Mali;
vii) allocating financial support to plans and projects proposed by decentralised authorities, riparian communities and other user groups.
According to an agreement (PIR.10885/Koninkrijk der Nederlanden) between the Netherlands and Mali, the unit benefits from financial support from the Netherlands: 540,000,000 FCFA have been allocated to the PAZU budget for the five years of its implementation, shared between the Malian (50,000,000) and Dutch (458,000,000) governments, the Ramsar Secretariat and WWF (32,000,000). The PAZU project will cover the period between November 2004 and 2008.
Another ministerial decree (n°05-2441/MAE- SG of 12 October 2005) nominates Mr. Soumana TIMBO [left], Water and Forest Engineer and Focal Point of the Ramsar Convention in Mali, coordinator of the PAZU coordination unit.
We would like to point out that this is the first time an African francophone state has created such a structure aimed at furthering the Convention's implementation in Africa.
Mali ratified the Ramsar Convention on 25 May 1987 and has since designated several Ramsar sites, including the Inner Niger Delta, Africa's second biggest site with a total area of 4,119,500 ha.
While the Ramsar Secretariat congratulates the Malian government for this endeavor, it encourages other African countries party to Ramsar to follow suit and to start, within their available means, similar initiatives in response to Recommendation 6.9 (adopted at COP6 in March 1996 in Brisbane, Australia), which encourages cooperation between Contracting Parties, the Ramsar Bureau and other partners for the preparation and implementation of national wetland policies.

Abstinence is not having sex. A person who decides to practice abstinence has decided not to have sex.
If two people don't have sex, then sperm can't fertilize an egg and there's no possibility of a pregnancy. Some forms of birth control depend on barriers that prevent the sperm from reaching the egg (such as condoms or diaphragms). Others interfere with the menstrual cycle (as birth control pills do). With abstinence, no barriers or pills are necessary because the person is not having sex.
You don't have to be a virgin to practice abstinence. Sometimes people who have been having sex decide not to continue having sex. Even if a person has been having sex, he or she can still choose abstinence to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the future.
Abstinence is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Although many birth control methods can have high rates of success if used properly, they can fail occasionally. Practicing abstinence ensures that a girl won't become pregnant because there's no opportunity for sperm to fertilize an egg.
Abstinence protects people against STDs. Some STDs spread through oral-genital sex, anal sex, or even intimate skin-to-skin contact without actual penetration (genital warts and herpes can be spread this way). So only avoiding all types of intimate genital contact can prevent STDs. Avoiding all types of intimate genital contact — including anal and oral sex — is complete abstinence.
Only complete and consistent abstinence can totally prevent pregnancy and protect against STDs. Because a person does not have any type of intimate sexual contact when he or she practices complete abstinence, there is no risk of passing on a sexually transmitted infection.
Consistent abstinence means that someone practices abstinence all the time. Having sex even once means that the person risks getting an infection.
Abstinence does not prevent AIDS, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infections that come from nonsexual activities like using contaminated needles for doing drugs, tattooing, or taking steroids.
Not having sex may seem easy because it's not doing anything. But peer pressure and things you see on TV and in the movies can make the decision to practice abstinence more difficult.
If it seems like everybody else is having sex, some people may feel they have to do it, too, just to be accepted. Don't let kidding or pressure from friends, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, or even the media push you into something that's not right for you. The truth is that most teens are not having sex.
A couple can still have a relationship without having sex. If you've made a decision not to have sex, it's an important personal choice and the people who care about you should respect that.
You may have questions about making this choice or about other methods of birth control. Your doctor or nurse — or an adult you trust, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor — can help provide some answers.

Cyber Security: Recent Developments and a Case for Self Defense
Join us for a discussion of potential legal pitfalls that companies may face when they take affirmative steps outside their own networks to prevent or mitigate cyber attacks. Depending on circumstances, defensive countermeasures could be construed as civil and/or criminal violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), and consequently they could pose significant legal risks that in-house counsel and their advisors should evaluate before authorizing conduct that could run afoul of either statute.
This 90-minute webinar will also address recent developments in the cyber security arena, including recent legislative initiatives, the President's Executive Order and relevant provisions of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which would impose new reporting requirements and promote more effective information sharing on cyber threats between industry and the Government.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the current cyber security threat level.
- Identify potential cyber security defensive measures and countermeasures that companies may deploy to prevent or mitigate attacks.
- Become familiar with the intersection between defensive countermeasure and the CFAA and the ECPA, which could restrict the scope of potential responses to cyber threats.
- Review a case for more expansive authority to exercise "self help†in securing corporate networks and critical infrastructure or responding to cyber attacks, including equitable factors that could bear on potential liability and other factors for companies to consider before deploying defensive self help countermeasures.
- And much, much more!
Who Will Benefit?
This is an important topic for in-house counsel who must assess the risk of cyber security countermeasures and whether technical or tactical strategies to prevent cyber attacks might introduce unique and unintended legal risks. Get ahead of the curve — register your team today!

And The Academy Award Goes To ..., Series 4 Episode 3 of 4
In the third episode of "And The Academy Award Goes To." Paul Gambaccini talks to the team behind the rich, musical extravaganza "Amadeus" - which you may remember for its brilliant interpretation of the life and genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or for the shrill giggle of Tom Hulce and the cleavage of his wife.
Director Milos Forman, who had left Czechoslovakia as a political refugee, chose Prague as the best 'double' for Vienna - only to find himself followed by spies for his former homeland as a suspected anti-communist.
Forman recalls how he first met Sir Peter Shaffer backstage at the National Theatre in London where, Sir Peter confirms, Forman promised there and then, to make a film out of Shaffer's masterpiece of the stage.
Simon Callow who played Mozart in the original London stage production was the only actor to appear in the Hollywood version - but probably enjoyed himself more because of it. Gambaccini also talks to Sir Neville Mariner, choreographer Twyla Tharp, producer Ken Tuohy and the actor Elizabeth Berridge, who was told she'd got the part as Mozart's wife as she most resembled an 'landlady's daughter'.
Cold War mystery and the greatest composer on earth - how they brought to screen a musical and cinematic masterpiece.
Producer: Sara Jane Hall.
