The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
Governor Rick Snyder signed a list of bills again Friday, including an online privacy protection.
The new bill will prohibit employers and schools from asking for passwords or other account information. It covers access to emails, plus social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Additionally, it will also penalize schools for failing to admit a student for not giving the information.
"Potential employees and students should be judged on their skills and abilities, not private online activity," said Snyder in a release.
This decision comes along side 20 other bills signed.

Well, I actually like the new layout. The color scheme doesn't really bother me at all. The feature i like the most though would have to be the "following" of other players. And now we can keep track of and watch the editors and writers toons, and i think thats just awesome.
Having said that, there still is a few things i dont like. For instance, idk if im the only one experiencing this, but none of the tooltips for the weapons or abilities show up anymore upon mousing over them. That gets pretty annoying to have to click on something, go to wowhead to see it, then have to come back. But like i said, it could just be my computer :)
But overall, new layout=change for the better. Good job designing WowInsider :)
I think I read in a previous post that the Wowhead tooltip links was a known problem and that they would be working again soon, but it's been bothering me, too...
That, and now when I click the "Read more" link from the main page, it takes me to the top of the article; I liked how it used to scroll down to the exact paragraph automatically for me. I know, I'm pretty lazy... but it was nice!!!

Then that must make me lazy too cause i miss that as well. Every little bit helps. The less i have to do, the better :)

Lessened by letter of the law?
Readers' comments (1)
"Uniform severity" of marking - what a joke. Law schools do themselves no favours with grade inflation over the last 10+ years.
Who can take seriously a return rate of 55+% of 2:1s?
As employers we rely on our own tests. Well over 50% of law schools are kidding their stus if they think they are gettting into decent jobs, if any.
Many academics live in their own world and have no understanding of the profession.
If you cannot get into a genuinely good law school, forget it and do something else (equally rewarding with your life).

Manhattan Bridge. Night. New York City.
The world stops spinning on its axis
as the city's lights search through the night
for hearts that flutter to the
syncopation of its pulsating lights.
This was taken on a stormy night in Brooklyn with the Sony A99 as the waves in the East River pounded the piers and the wind whipped against the faces of the few brave souls who were still standing at the edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park hoping to catch a first glimpse of the city's lights as they flickered into view.
I am always amazed at the power of long exposure photography to calm the chaos in a landscape, especially in a cityscape.

Immersion Song-Writing Weekend with Tom Robinson
On 08, Oct 2010 | No Comments | In Inspiration and Productivity | By Andy Mort
Earlier this year Tom Robinson (BBC 6Music) invited me on a weekend in the Kent countryside (careful how you say it) for two days of 'immersion song-writing'. The idea was based around techniques divised by the Immersion Composition Society with a target to write 20 songs from scratch in 36 hours alongside a dozen or so other musicians. Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to the dwelling of swathes of volcanic ash above my head as I was stuck in Stockholm.
Fortunately, however, Tom gave me another opportunity and last Saturday morning I awoke at 5.30am and drove to Bore Place just outside of Seven Oaks. Greeted by coffee, pastries, Tom and his lovely wife Sue, I managed to pull myself to life and was ready to get writing.
It was a fantastically fun weekend and truly inspiring. Being surrounded by beautiful scenery, beautiful people and the creation of music was the perfect way to spend two days. I ended up spending most of the weekend working on collaborations – working with others was too good an opportunity pass up.
On the Sunday afternoon we spent a few hours listening to what everyone had come up with – it was then that it really struck me quite how talented a group I was with. I left with a real sense of life and vibrancy and with a strange new perspective on the idea of what it means to write.
Tom Robinson is a remarkable man and a genuine example of someone with a beautiful heart for other people. There are people who, if in his position spend their life on an ego trip handing out unnecessary artistic 'advice' whether it was asked for or not, not Tom. He has a way of encouraging you through respect for what you do – the reason he invited us to Bore Place was because he was into what we had done previously, not because he wanted to change us. After all, as we discovered, there are infinite ways to write a song and the beauty is in the fact that no one can tell you how to do it. You've just got to explore. With mutual respect and the level playing field that this brought, it meant that we were all free to work together, enjoy one another's methods and become open to different ways of working.
A big thanks to Tom and Sue, as well as everyone who was there. I feel inspired, now.
Check out the following artists – they were all on the weekend, and they are ALL really great people.

Ten Days Off (A documentary about my trip to Scandinavia)
On 03, Jun 2010 | No Comments | In Uncategorized | By Andy Mort
In April I went to Scandinavia with my friend Dan.
We met our friend Lucille out there.
We documented much of what we did. Not in a sad, pathetic, care more about the video than the trip sort of way…well maybe, but we had some exciting times, including nearly touching the Queen of Denmark, I played a gig and we got "stuck" in Stockholm under the giant ash cloud.
We finally managed to circumcise four hours of footage to a manageable, watchable and even dare I say enjoyable length, and it has been pieced together in a coherent and amusing style so that you too can experience every smell, site and sound from our life-changing adventure.
The first part is below, there are six more. You can find the entire set BY CLICKING HERE. Please enjoy, thank you.

The point is not the decline of all forms of violence. That is irrelevant. What you care about is the bottom line: How many corpses we will count at the end of the day.

In medicine, if you take morphine to alleviate the pain from an open wound, there will be a decline in your overall pain, but you will still die if you leave the wound untreated. Taleb is making the same point. You don't care about the pain. You care only that the worst possible outcome (death) is avoided.

The decline of all forms of violence doesn't do anything for the worst possible outcome (billion+ deaths from nuclear war, etc). Which is why Pinker's argument is sh*tte and anyone not seeing that is just missing the point firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-24293303754561099262014-08-11T02:28:12.527-07:002014-08-11T02:28:12.527-07:00Weekend Gateways From Delhi Comment Thanks for sha...Weekend Gateways From Delhi Comment Thanks for sharing good information !monika singhhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-44508596958817086382014-08-02T07:03:49.945-07:002014-08-02T07:03:49.945-07:00Awesome!Awesome!Nishant email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-19452951149299854132014-06-25T10:08:07.126-07:002014-06-25T10:08:07.126-07:00IT'S NOT AN HYIP*****IT'S NOT AN HYIP LAUN...IT'S NOT AN HYIP*****IT'S NOT AN HYIP

But the book is about the decline of all forms of violence. The decline of war deaths is just one part of a much larger trend. And I would not characterize the avoidance of nuclear war as being mostly due to luck. A lot of brainpower has gone into avoiding it, because everyone agrees that it would be a bad thing.

While it's nice that we haven't had a nuclear war, each passing day without one does not make it less likely that we have a nuclear war. And the last 50 years of avoiding nuclear war was probably more down to luck than the intelligence and foresight of our leaders.

Secondly, being a nice person does not make you an good person, so I have no problem with Taleb's (entertaining) attacks on fellow academics. After all, that's what academia is supposed to be about.

I also happen to be a fan of Taleb's work (as written in his books, but not so much how he gets worked up on Twitter and Facebook) and am acutely aware of the dangers of extrapolation and how nuclear war is the ultimate Black Swan. But, I agreed with your assessment of Taleb's criticism and in fact your assessments of the different types of criticism Pinker's book has received.

I also consider several of the reasons he cites as near-truisms. However, it is nevertheless clear that Herman and Peterson's characterization of the work as primarily "an ideological" tract is absolutely correct.

One of the areas in which this is most glaring is Pinker's utterly mendacious treatment of "left-liberalism" vs. "classical liberalism" (Pinker's euphemism for neoliberalism), of "socialist" ideas vs. "free-market" ideas, etc. As Princeton Professor Timothy Snyder points out in his critical review in Foreign Affairs, Pinker hails the Western European democracies as the gold standard for peacefulness and civilization in the history of the world. Although he investigates and discusses the correlation of "level of democracy" with "peacefulness" among states, he refrains from attempting any discussion of "level of social democracy" with "peacefulness" among democratic states. Pinker is certainly aware that the Western European states, which Pinker concedes (when pressed in interviews) are more peaceful and civilized than the United States (although even then he minimizes the extent to which this is true), are much more socialist/social-democratic in their policies and ideas than the more neoliberal, barbaric, war-like, and domestically violent US.
Instead he argues that intelligence causes the embrace of neoliberalism (on the basis of answers to a few crudely-phrased questions to people in the two most neoliberal countries---the US and the UK), and since intelligence is positively correlated with peacefulness, neoliberalism is also.
Further evidence of Pinker's mendacity on this issue: Pinker approvingly quotes or mentions many champions of peace while carefully refraining from mentioning their very strong opposition to his pro-capitalist, pro-neoliberal, libertarian views. Examples include George Orwell (an outspoken democratic socialist), Bertrand Russell (who wrote an article The Case for Socialism), Albert Einstein (who wrote an article Why Socialism?), John Dewey and John Stuart Mill (both of whom advocated industrial democracy and worker ownership of factories), and Martin Luther King (another outspoken advocate of democratic socialism). With regard to King, Pinker claims that King "read Marx but rejected him" while failing to note that King advocated a radical redistribution of wealth in America as necessary for a peaceful and just society. So Pinker thinks it's important for readers to know what views King didn't hold (e.g., Marxist views), but not what views he actually did hold. This is about as informative regarding King's views (which is why Pinker even mentions him) as it would be to say of Pinker, "Pinker read Hitler, but he never worshiped Hitler as the greatest moral visionary in history or expressed any obsessive sexual fantasies about fellating Hitler"----true, but intentionally misleading.Caruthershttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-75707483897782532282013-11-25T10:14:56.035-08:002013-11-25T10:14:56.035-08:00Great blog entry!

It is so sad to see them debating online, as opposed to what might have been accomplished had they sat down over coffee for a couple of hours with microphones on and just discussed things pleasantly in real time. I would love to hear that conversation and I have little doubt it would have resulted in a richer understanding of both of their works. Like I say, I truly love Taleb's thinking, but he sometimes goes overboard on the attacks - so I am very glad that I live in the less violent world that Pinker describes.

I like Professor Nassim Talib a lot, I believe in his anti-fragile and black swan, his last night status was just pure bliss to my mind 'you cannot get involved without having skin in the game.'

He is one of the immense top imaginative and innovative thinkers of the contemporary world, but I just don't comprehend or identify the streak as to 'why embodiment of such a great intelligence drops down to level of a street boy.' Great minds should be aloof from street battles, when someone splatters dirt on you, please don't roll down with pigs in the ring. You don't have to punch anyone to win your point. When you tear others down essentially instead of building your case you present a pig-headed image of your enormous mental power! ''

His dogged scholarly anti-focus on Prof. Pinkers* is incredibly mean for such a resourceful intellect, he may rubbish me or even ban me with his typical rage, but I still courageously will post this to the Professor ( who I think is 'da mind' of today) that for me it only reflect his own deep seated insecurities, when he locks his horns needlessly to score points, which I think he has made and won eruditely big time.

Professors following status was not very polite, and is kind of anti-climax of his huge scholarly stature, his point number 5 is so out of place and contradicts his great intrinsic wits. ? I may articulate it has lot to do with insecurities of his geography. This is a very medieval kind of tactless, insensate below the belt attack.

''To have a great day: 1) Smile at a stranger, 2) Surprise someone by saying something unexpectedly nice, 3) Give some genuine attention to an elderly, 4) Invite someone who doesn't have many friends for coffee, 5) Humiliate an economist, publicly, or create deep anxiety inside a Harvard professor.

Richness of mind is luckily so rooted in him, his ancestral city traces its roots to Phoenician, Byzantine Greek and Ghassanid descent. He is an "invincible fort "from Amioun, his city name Amia the ethnological experts assert is derived from the Semitic word emun, originally so rich is the culture of his place of birth that the word Amia was cited in the letters of Tell el Amarna, which were sent in the 14th century B.C. by his city local governors to their overlords, the pharaohs of Egypt.

These tribal world-lordish instinctive insecurities sometime remain engrained in genetics, sometime they have to be scrapped. He comes from an origin that has the richest pedigree of human culture and civilisation, nothing can beat this kind of originality of pure-bred bloodline of culture. Yet, his few lines and arrogance sometime fall short of what his inexhaustible, unbounded genius and capacities he offers to all of us.

Why to betray the positives and highlight negative streaks of the warlords!

Town Commission meets for regular workshop
Date: October 15, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
At its Thursday, Oct. 15 regular workshop, The Longboat Key Town Commission:
Forwarded to the Monday, Nov. 2 regular meeting for first reading and public hearing:
• An annual update to the capital-improvements element of the
town's Comprehensive Plan.
• An ordinance that provides a required update to the town's 10-year water supply plan documenting the town's ability to meet existing and future development needs.
Forwarded to the Monday, Nov. 2 regular meeting for formal action:
• A resolution that reallocates $425,000 of surplus Sarasota County Phase II infrastructure surtax funds to the public safety category so the town can utilize the funds to purchase a fire truck pumper for the fire department. The money is now being transferred so the town can take advantage of a $14,400 savings by prepaying for the pumper.
• A proposed 2010 Town Commission meeting calendar.
• An outline for the town's municipal election in March, which would be set for March 16, 2010, in accordance with the town's charter. The charter also has the flexibility to move the election date if either county is administering any other elections. If a preliminary election is needed for two qualified candidates seeking the same office, that election would be held Jan. 26, 2010.
• Background information on the town's unfunded pension liability, which will be further discussed at a meeting that will be scheduled sometime in November.
Directed the town manager:
• To move forward with a new 30-year wholesale wastewater agreement between the town and Manatee County, which also includes a 10-year renewal option.
• To approve a change to the town's business-tax-receipt program, which will change the tax assessed annually to boat slip owners who rent their boat slips from $103.95 per year to $33.60 per year.
• To move forward with presenting the commission a quarterly financial report from Finance Director Tom Kelley, starting in January.
• To leave the town's board appointment process alone.
• Not to hire a second code enforcement officer position at this time.
Approved at a special meeting:
• A site plan amendment by The Longboat Key Center for the Arts, a division of the Ringling College of Art and Design, that requests the extension of a building permit until June 30, 2012, and the extension of certificate of occupancy until June 30, 2013.

Jacqueline, that's an extremely offensive and unfair declaration of yours regarding the military (re: "Joining the army is…"). That statement is actually dehumanizing soldiers further as just mere objects of warfare, to be killed or to survive…. Which is not only a huge insult to those people who have enlisted, but their families and loved [...]

BCWipe for *nix is a bit complicated for novices. AFAIK, it does not
automatically do swapoff, mkswap & swapon, so some users will either not wipe
their swap device (most likely), or will wipe it and fail to get it working
again. My humble WipeSwap script -- all eleven lines of it -- will
automatically detect the swap device, turn it off, wipe it, re-create it, and
turn it back on for you. Because it's easy to use and safe, more users will
be encouraged to clean out that rat's nest of data traces now and then.
Also, BCWipe can be dangerous in some hands: a simple typo, and there goes a
working disk volume. My scripts are separate and clearly labeled. It's
impossible to destroy data with the WipeSwap or WipeFree scripts. Only the
WipeAll script will do that, and it's disabled by default. Thus, unless you
are at least an experienced user, you will have to read the README to get
that one working.
Furthermore, my scripts (http://basicsec.org/tools.html) are incredibly simple
and totally transparent. Almost anyone can understand what they do. You
don't have to take my word for *anything*.
OTOH, BCWipe uses a more secure wiping routine, they say. But once you've
gone from merely deleting to filling with several passes of random data,
there is little more to get out of a software solution, except a false sense
of security. The next logical level, really, is physical destruction.
Still, there is always room for improvement, and several list members have
made excellent suggestions for improving the scripts. I'll be posting
updated versions in a few weeks' time, as soon as i get them all tested on
enough different systems.

Is there any specific advantage of these scripts over bcwipe?

Negro Casas/El Dandy/Hector Garza vs. El Hijo del Santo/Scorpio Jr./Bestia Salvaje [CMLL 11/29/96]
Coming a week after Santito's shocking heel turn, comes this amazing and bloody brawl. This has to be seen to be believed. How this wasn't on DVDVR's Top 20 Lucha matches of the 90s yet a ton of AAA matches were is beyond me.
"NEGRO CASAS/DANDY/HECTOR GARZA vs. HIJO DEL SANTO/SCORPIO JR/BESTIA SALVAJE - EMLL 11/96
The grudge match coming off Santito's unthinkable rudo turn the previous week, and the tecnicos are out for his blood. This is the Brawl With It All - ungodly heat (when Santo hits the ring and mockingly blows kisses to the crowd, even the piss-poor Televisa audio mix can't hide the fact that these folks would like nothing better than to see his ass on a platter), insane violence (Santo rips a set of ringside chairs off its moorings so he can level a bloodied Dandy with them) and perhaps the ultimate death-for-your-pleasure highspot (Garza tries a Shooting Star Press to the floor and accidentally invents the German Air Show Senton in the process). Dr. Morales marks out about a half-dozen times, the crowd is at a froth the whole time, Bestia is in tears at the end and Negro LAUGHS IN HIS FACE like a maniac. Unbelievably intense and dramatic. American bookers should be strapped in their chairs and forced to watch this Clockwork Orange-style to see how to book revenge matches."
This sets up the classic El Hijo del Santo vs. Negro Casas vs. El Dandy the next month and then the mask vs. hair match a year later between Santo and Casas.

There's an idea floating amongst the NFL Punditocracy that Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler could be this generation's answer to Jeff George. It's an interesting comparison, as Jeff George was signed by the Bears in 2004; but never took the field. He's also a local Midwest guy- drafted #1 overall by his hometown Indianapolis Colts in 1990 out of Illinois.
Jeff George had a distinguished college football career with the Illini; transferring to Champaign from Purdue, and that's something you never see today, transfers within the same conference. It's also fortuitous, as Jeff George signed with 7 different teams during his 13 year career.
He just never completely gelled with coaches, coordinators, teammates etc. Jeff George couldn't find the right fit; anywhere. With Jay Cutler, he's only changed teams once, but he certainly has had plenty of different coordinators. The two are alike in a few other ways too.
Both are known for having all the physical gifts: a huge arm, mobility, the right amount of touch on their passes. Jeff George even rivaled Dan Marino in his prime when it came to releasing the ball quickly. However, both Cutler and George aren't considered ideal leaders. Or convey the ideal leadership traits you want in a NFL quarterback.
Boomer Esiason, who this week said Cutler is a maybe, possibly a top 15 QB, and described the Bears as a second rung NFC team. Norman Julius Esiason said this morning on CBS NFL Today:
"Quarterbacks crave consistency, that has not been the case with Jay Cutler, he reminds me of this generation's Jeff George. That's who he is- a great arm, a great player, but for some reason, just can't seem to find his way."
George had his best season in Oakland in 1997; when he threw for 29 TDs and 9 INTs. Then in '98 he blew off his Offensive Coordinator and called his own plays all season. As you can imagine, this act of defiance didn't sit well. He was replaced by eventual 1998 NFL MVP Rich Gannon. And the QB Coach in Oakland? Cutler's current Head Coach Marc Trestman.
And the next person commentating on CBS? Rich Gannon; who offered this:
"There's no question about Jay Cutler's toughness and talent. But he has this legacy, and as Boomer points out, it's more like Jeff George than it is a Super Bowl winning quarterback. And I think he has to go out and earn the respect of his teammates and really buy in."
And after Gannon was done, Boomer said this:
"I took an informal poll here with our colleagues and everyone else, I came up with 20 other quarterbacks that guys would rather select than Jay Cutler right now, and I think a lot of that is do to the perception that he's not a great leader."
Cutler finished 21-33-242-1-2 today in the win over the Bengals. Jay got off to a decent start today, and made progress toward changing his legacy. Perhaps 2013 is the year he turns it around? Jeff George finished his career with a 46-78 record; 151 TDs vs 133 INTs, and one playoff win (1999, while with the Minnesota Vikings)
Jay Cutler, drafted 11th overall by Denver, currently also has one playoff win. His record as a starter is 52-42, 138-101 TD-INT. Is he the next Jeff George? We can probably give him a little more credit than that.

OTRC.com gets some Ravenswood spoilers from Tyler & the Cast
"Pretty Little Liars" fans get a double treat on Oct. 22. That's when the show's annual Halloween special airs and the "Pretty Little Liars" spinoff, "Ravenswood," premieres.
Smith also talked to the cast of "Ravenswood," including Tyler Blackburn, Nicole Anderson, Britne Oldford, Merritt Patterson, Brett Dier and Steven Cabral, about what's in store for their scary new show.
Check out five spoilers about "Ravenswood" below and watch the extended interviews with the "Ravenswood" cast HERE.
1. Viewers will see a lot more of Caleb (Blackburn) and learn about his past.
"The fans will be happy to know that they see a lot more of Caleb," Cabral said. Cabral plays Raymond Collins, the long lost uncle of Miranda Collins (played by Anderson) on the show. "He's the star of the show. So, they'll see a lot more of him and also go back into his history on his father's side, I believe."
Blackburn explained, "The town itself has the curse on it, but not every person in the town — not every person is affected by it, but the five of us are and it has to do with our ancestry. So, there's a lot to uncover and it happens pretty quickly, you know, in the first few episodes. A lot goes down in the first few episodes."
2. Hanna and Caleb's relationship is not "immediately severed."
Since Caleb is at the center of the action on "Ravenswood," that means he has to leave Rosewood and Hanna (played by Ashley Benson) behind. But King explained that it may not be the end of Caleb and Hanna.
"It's definitely not immediately severed," King said of the teen couple's relationship. "Caleb and Hanna have a very special relationship and as we are making these episodes of 'Ravenswood' and still writing the first season, we are discovering ourselves, as creators, what that relationship is going to morph into."
3. Miranda is a kindred soul to Caleb.
King teased, "The characters of Caleb and Miranda, they meet in the Halloween episode of 'Pretty Little Liars,' but they do discover they have a connection that is just really magical and at the same time mysterious."
"As they get to know each other and we get to know them as characters, we will find out what draws them together and what draws them to Ravenswood," she added.

The Equity Index Skew, Market Crashes and Asymmetric Normal Mixture GARCH
AbstractThe skewness in physical distributions of equity index returns and the implied volatility skew in the risk-neutral measure are subjects of extensive academic research. Much attention is now being focused on models that are able to capture time-varying conditional skewness and kurtosis. For this reason normal mixture GARCH(1,1) models have become very popular in financial econometrics. We introduce further asymmetries into this class of models by modifying the GARCH(1,1) variance processes to skewed variance processes with leverage effects. These asymmetric normal mixture GARCH models can differentiate between two different sources of asymmetry: a persistent asymmetry due to the different means in the conditional normal mixture distributions, and a dynamic asymmetry (the leverage effect) due to the skewed GARCH processes. Empirical results on five major equity indices first employ many statistical criteria to determine whether asymmetric (GJR and AGARCH) normal mixture GARCH models can improve on asymmetric normal and Student's-t GARCH specifications. These models were also used to simulate implied volatility smiles for the S&P index, and we find that much the most realistic skews are obtained from a GARCH model with a mixture of two GJR variance components.

China's reputation as the world's environmental Scrooge grew significantly this month, with widespread allegations that the country had sabotaged the Copenhagen climate talks by refusing to allow monitoring of its greenhouse gas emissions.

9/11 conspiracy theorists outside BBC television centre. Photograph: Charlie Skelton/Charlie Skelton
Eight years ago today, the world fell over on my TV screen while I vomited dodgy prawns into a washing up bowl. Shivering and baffled, I lay on the living room carpet, picking shreds of bok choy from my poisoned teeth, as the four busy horsemen of the apocalypse rode their jets into skyscrapers and put everything we knew about everything to the torch.
No wonder some people saw Satan's face in the dust – 11 September was a day for the demons, a jubilee of mayhem. The devil's own harvest festival.
Eight years later and though the shivering has stopped, that sense of bewilderment and awe remains. The dust from that day is still in people's lungs, our world is madder than ever, and I'll never eat shrimp chow mein again. Damn you, al-Qaeda! You took away my freedom to eat Chinese food!

Credits. I'd like to take this moment to apologize in advance for this recap. I'm really, really sick with some wicked flu/cold/consumption type thing, and it makes me type crazy-ass shit. For example, I seem to be forgetting to put nouns in my sentences. Also, I keep falling asleep. So if I say anything untoward in the next few pages, forgive me.
This week, because, apparently, the time/date stamp is super important, it gets to be in the middle of the screen, instead of shuffled off to the bottom. It's Thursday, December 7th, 8:23 AM. In other words, twenty-four hours to the minute before the shooting. Joe Morton (hee hee. In my disease addled state, I typed "Joe Moron." I'd leave it like that, except I like him. See -- this sleeping sickness thing has made me soft) wakes up, again, in his jail cell. He sits up and grabs his neck. No gunshot wound. He unzips his orange jumper and looks at his chest. No injuries. He looks confused. He looks at the spider, which is still scurrying around on its little web over his pillow. The door to his cell slides open with a bang, but this time it's no guard, it's Doggett and Scully. Joe Morton seems relieved to see "John," but Doggett just looks peeved and Scully will have none of these tiresome pleasantries. She holds up, encased in an evidence bag, an electronic key card, the same kind of which I use everyday to gain access to the building where I labor at the day job I hate with the passionate intensity of an infinite procession of eternally burning suns. She snippily asks if he recognizes it. "Yes," he replies slowly, before asking Doggett who Scully is. "Don't even, Martin!" Doggett Ricki Lakes, turning his head away in disgust. Martin, for that is Joe Morton's name, informs the agents that he has no idea why he's in this cell and what he did and what the hell is going on and why him, why, why?! Doggett disgustedly spits that he won't be party to "some half-assed, eleventh-hour insanity defense." Martin sputters. Doggett yells at the top of his lungs that "it's time" for Martin to start telling him the truth. Martin looks stunned. Scully grimaces, and continues with her line of questioning; telling Martin that the bagged key card is his, and that it was found in "the dumpster behind the Strand Motel." Doggett spits that Martin threw it away himself so he could claim it had been stolen in order to provide himself with an alibi. "What murder? What is he talking about?" Martin asks. Doggett shoves crime-scene photos of Martin's poor dead wife, her neck slashed, under Martin's nose. Martin sits, stunned, on his bunk. He starts to cry. Doggett's face softens, as the guard comes to tell them that a van has come to take them to court.
Baltimore Circuit Court. 10:12 AM. Martin is led into the courtroom, to stares from onlookers. He's sat down next to a woman I can only assume is his attorney. She's very pretty, but the way she's coifed her French twist makes her look like she has a conehead. She leans over and hisses at him to "play his strong suit," dignity, and snips at him not to lower his eyes, because it "makes him look guilty." Martin looks around the courtroom, finding Al in the audience. "He shot me," Martin says, shocked. "Your father-in-law?" Conehead asks. "What are you talking about?" The bailiff announces the Judge, and, in doing so, mentions that it's Thursday, December 7th. Martin, confused, says that it isn't Thursday, it's Saturday, because yesterday was Friday. Conehead looks at him, askance, tells him that it is indeed Thursday, and reminds him that court is not in session on Saturday. Unless, of course, it's the U.S. Supreme Court, telling Florida not to recount the ballots, and handing Dubya the presidency on a silver platter. But I guess that it's a special circumstance. And I suppose I ought to leave my politics out of this. Ahem. Anyway. Gavel. This is the bail hearing. Conehead exposits that Martin is a well-known prosecutor, and as such, is in danger in jail. The DA tells the judge that she has the assurance of the prison authorities that Martin is safe as houses. Conehead snips that Martin is a respected member of the community. The DA waves the murder weapon around ---in an evidence bag, of course -- and reminds the judge that Martin killed his poor dead wife in cold blood. Martin looks perturbed. Blah bling blah, bail is denied, and Martin is "transferred to a more secure facility." Martin gets up, gets in the judge's face, and tells the judge that if they try to transfer him, "he'll kill me," meaning, of course, Al. Everyone in the courtroom looks at Martin as though he'd lost his mind, which, surely, they believe he has. He's dragged from the courtroom, screaming and begging for the judge to believe him. Way to play that dignity card, dude.

Greetings from Halifax! Wonderful city - I'm enjoying my time here. Raptors training camp has been good so far. Two things I like: the improved talent level overall, and the solid depth/internal competition for minutes. Will that mean more wins and playoff contention? Only time will tell but things are looking up as far as what Dwane Casey has to work with.
1. ANDREW BYNUM (Sixers) - Oh boy. He will sit out most of October getting ready for the season. They rolled the dice that he was going to be an every day player and now this. Expectations are high in Philly. His health is critical to their success. He needs to play 70+ games or it will be a tough situation for all. Philly fans are brutally critical. Bynum better be ready to play/produce and have thick skin. Tough town, very demanding.
2. ERIC GORDON (Hornets) - Another organization holding it's breath regarding a knee. Gordon has experienced some knee pain and is being held out to give him some more recovery time. Hornets matched the Suns offer to keep him and have high hopes with Anthony Davis aboard. Gordon is a guy that can be a difference maker and in this league to have a young explosive wing you give yourself a chance to get W's. Big investment here and Gordon and Davis can start to get Hornets fans excited again after Chris Paul left. Margin of error here is not large and a team/city like this needs to catch a break and regain traction.
3. TOM THIBODEAU (Bulls) - You have a coach that has proven himself, don't lose him. Smart move by the Bulls locking him up long-term. Derrick Rose is out until mid-season and they've lost lots of proven depth - will be a different Bulls team this year just trying to stay afloat until Rose returns and make a playoff push. Had to make sure they had stability at the top - they got it.
4. SEATTLE - Thrilled for a nice city and good basketball town. New arena in the works and you can be sure we'll see an existing/new team there down the road. Long overdue. Glad cooler heads prevailed and they came together on solving the arena issue. By the way, I've said it many times - I think the Pacific Northwest can handle/thrive with another team nearby - Vancouver. It makes no sense to me why there is no team there again. The community and a local ownership group (Canucks ownership) have to see what's going on in Seattle and seize the moment.
5. RAPTORS - Made positive points earlier about them. Big test - 15 of first 22 games are on the road. Let's check in on December 11. Are they hanging around the .500 mark and healthy? If they are they've got a chance to start to get things turned around and be a playoff contender in April. 82 games - yes. Everyone plays them but the timing of the games is crucial as well. Young team that hasn't won - how resilient are they? If they can get through that stretch and be competitive their self confidence/belief can grow. Winning is very hard and fragile. Losing is something they've done a lot of lately and things snowball. How they hold up and learn early sets the tone and direction for later. Just some food for thought to focus on. It ain't easy, yet it can be done.

Last week I came to an opening at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.
Photo: CJM Twitter @ jewseum
The exhibit "Jews and Midcentury Modernism," is a look at the architecture, graphics and home design that came out of Jewish Communities forging life in midcentury America. As artists left Europe, they both assimilated into American culture and created new identities in the modernist spirit developing from 1920-1960. The work isn't particularly wrought with religious influence, and bares the minimalism and upheaval of shifting mid century culture. The artists "found respectful supporters in socially conscious institutions," amiable towns and art meccas like New York's Museum of Modern Art. {Current Shows NYT)
Cultural contribution during emigration and recolonization is a very interesting way to think about midcentury design. The Renaissance in Italy in the 1400's was largely brought on by similar emigration and collapse of entire artist networks. As Turkey and Greece experienced greater instability leading up to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, artists fled to nearby Italy. They coalesced in places like Venice, strengthening these centers of art, mathematics and design. In a similar way we can think of Jewish emigration in the mid twentieth century as having a fortuitous impact on American culture, in spite of the decimation in European homelands.
Here is a good writeup of the exhibition, from SFArts
Paul Rand Logo Design
Rand was raised in a strict Orthodox Jewish home in Brooklyn New York. Orthodox Jewish law forbids the creation of images that can be worshiped as idols, so this entire wall of corporate titan logos is a thought provoking addition to the CJM exhibit!

@KSUgrad. Firstly, I remember 9/11 perfectly fine, and I don't appreciate your condescension torwards me due to age. Secondly, as I pointed out, IMMINENT THREAT, that was an imminent threat and is universally considered to be such. So I have no problem with that. But I'm not sure you are understanding the point I'm trying to make here. I'm not saying that no one at any time, regardless if they pose an imminent threat can not be killed. I am saying that unless a citizen is posing an IMMINENT THREAT, they must be given due process.

@KSUgrad The Presidential oath of office does not stipulate that the President is to uphold the Constitution when it is convenient. When an American is not presenting an imminent threat, they are guaranteed due process outlined in the US Constitution. Now, that being said if there is an imminent threat being posed, as in someone being held at gun point, then neither I, or Senator Paul, or anyone, have a problem with that.

The Sachem Central School District will receive a higher total in school aid this year, according to proposed information released by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
Sachem, which was cut $14 million in state aid for the 2011-12 school year, will gain back $6.4 million for the 2012-13 school year. There is a $4.3 million increase in overall estimated foundation aid and an additional $2.2 million increase in building/transportation aid, according to Sachem Assistant Superintendent for Business Bruce Singer
These are just proposed figures and the final state aid figures remain subject to change as the governor and legislature dissect the budget over the next few months.
"It was certainly nice to see a restoration of some of the aid, but it's still no where near what we lost," said Sachem Superintendent Nolan.
According to district officials, Sachem will still have roughly a $10-15 million shortfall for the 2012-13 budget because of low aid totals and increased district expenditures. Sachem will have an estimated $287 million budget for 2012-13. The district will receive $82.2 million in overall estimated aid during the 2012-13 school year.
Overall, the state budget will inject $805 million in school aid back into the system. The governor's office said high need school districts will receive 76 percent of the 2012-13 allocated increase and 69 percent of total school aid. Long Island school districts are receiving a $56.3 million increase in operating funds.
"Because of the tough choices and the historic reforms we achieved last year, we are able to propose a pro-growth budget, tackle broad fiscal reform, drive accountability in our schools to put students first, and leverage tens of billions of dollars of new investment to create jobs without significant cost to the taxpayer," Cuomo said in a statement. "Through fiscal discipline and working in partnership with the private sector, we are making New York a pro-growth State once again. This budget represents the next step in our plan to transform New York State."
The governor also announced that the State Education Department and school employee unions will have 30 days to agree on a new effective teacher evaluation system or the he will propose an evaluation system in the 30 day budget amendments. Schools will be given one year to implement the system or risk forfeiting an increase in education aid in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school budgets, according to Cuomo.
"Currently each local district has their own evaluation tool for employees," Nolan said. "They want to go to a state evaluation tool, where a percentage of evaluations taken are on how students perform on assessments."
The proposed state budget closes the current $2 billion budget deficit with no new taxes or new fees and lays the groundwork for an innovative $25 billion economic development agenda, funded largely by leveraging billions in private sector investment rather than by taxpayer dollars, according to Cuomo.
Other highlights of the Governor's proposed plan include:
- Closing the current budget gap with no new taxes, fees or gimmicks, and including zero growth in State agency spending;
- Eliminating automatic spending inflators and implementing reforms throughout the budget to ensure that spending increases for service providers reflect performance and actual cost;
- Allocating $1.3 billion in State investment designed to spur a total of $25 billion from other sources to launch and accelerate major infrastructure projects and create thousands of jobs;
- Creating a plan for the State to take over 100% of the costs of Medicaid growth that will be phased in over three years, saving local governments $1.2 billion over the next five years;
- Creating a pension reform plan that will save State taxpayers and local governments outside New York City $83 billion, and will save New York City $30 billion over the next 30 years; and
- Increasing school aid by $805 million, including $250 million linked to improved academic performance and management efficiency, and implementation of an enhanced teacher evaluation process.

Accurizing the Mosin-Nagant Rifle
If you enjoy this article, please support me by purchasing a sight or sight service! Thank you - Josh
The Mosin-Nagant is an accurate rifle, properly set up. You don't have to settle for mediocre accuracy, and neither do you need to make permanent changes. This is my how-to, and are the techniques I personally use. It is not unusual to see 1.5MOA accuracy from the Mosin-Nagant when using these techniques.
The first thing that should be done is to
smooth the barrel channel using an appropriate sized dowel rod or socket
from a ratchet wrench, wrapped in 320 or so sandpaper. When done, a
straight edge should lay flat along the barrel channel.
Lightly oil the cork bedding on both sides.
Bring lots of ammo and tools to the range. This takes a lot to get right.
I used business card stock on the top handguard. Oil it well.
Move the front sling mounting point back!

The above video is mine. The picture is not. I believe it to be an English translation of an older Russian or Finnish manual, as it illustrates the methods used by both the Russians in their snipers' rifles and the Finns in their general issue rifles, though the Finns made wider use of shims on the barrel. The felt wrapping seems to be uniquely Russian.
