Philly fans will taste defeat again
Published: Sunday, February 6, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 6, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
The Southern boys got kicked out of the Super Bowl XXXIX party a couple of weeks ago when the Philadelphia Eagles spoiled the Atlanta Falcons' season with a drubbing in the NFC Championship.
That's going to make it tough to root for anyone in this year's game down South in Jacksonville, Fla., but picking a winner won't.
NFL analysts have been tossing around the word 'dynasty' about the New England Patriots, and they should be. The Patriots have been in the big show now three of the past four years and have won two of the last three Super Bowls.
Quarterback Tom Brady is still undefeated in the playoffs, and it looks like he will continue that streak against the Eagles. He is 8-0 in the postseason and 7-0 in overtime games.
Meanwhile, Brady's counterpart, Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb, has tasted defeat in three NFC Championship games.
If he would've lost against the Falcons this year, I can't imagine how the always raucous Philly fans would've reacted.
In what is supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love, Eagles fans show anything but that for their opponents. A fine example was back in the mid-1990s when Dallas wide receiver Michael Irvin was sandwiched in between two Philadelphia defenders and landed awkwardly on his neck and back.
The Eagles fans cheered in jubilation when the medical staff had to bring a stretcher out to the field.
It was kind of ironic that this year the Cowboys got back at the Philly fans, but not intentionally.
Wide receiver Terrell Owens, who loves to run off at the mouth and make headlines with his silly celebrations in the end zone, suffered an ankle injury during a Cowboys game that was supposed to keep him out of today's game.
But T.O. has miraculously healed himself and will suit up against the Patriots.
Even if he was at 100 percent, I don't think it would help much.
New England's defense ranks fourth in the league and should have no trouble keeping the Eagles out of the end zone, especially after Freddie Mitchell's comments earlier this week. That has the whole Patriot team fired up and ready for a repeat.
That reminds me of last year, and how fun it was to have the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl. I actually could cheer for one of the teams in earnest.
The Panthers didn't mouth off, and they didn't get blown out either.
It was a thrilling game with an outcome that the Panthers didn't have to hang their heads about.
Like the Panthers last year, the Eagles are to be the sentimental favorites, but some of us will be happy to see them leaving the field empty-handed.
Now, let's get to something that will also draw viewers to the TV today -- the commercials.
Super Bowl commercials are the best of the best, and I usually try to watch all of them. As a freshman in college, that was one of my homework assignments -- to write down every single commercial that played during the Super Bowl.
I hope today's commercials won't disappoint.
But if there is one single MacDonald's commercial with that idiotic "ba da bop ba ba...," and some 25-year-old punk letting the world hear how annoying his voice is, I'm going to have to go out and buy another television set. Period. Because there will be a brick through mine.
Maybe by that time the game will be over with the final score ... Patriots 42, Eagles 14.

As far as inexpensive but reliable .45's.
RIA and Firestorm (Bersa) are the best options under $450.
What they lack in overall "refinement" they make up for in rock solid reliability and low price point. Cheap and inexpensive are not the same thing.
I own 1911s by several of the best know makers (Colt, Kimber, Dan Wesson, Springfield) and the RIA performs just as well as far as reliability and accuracy.
The Firestorm .45 is not as well finished as higher priced handguns but it is all steel, reliable and a solid performer that exceeds its low price IMO.
I own a lot of handguns many of which are thought of as high end firearms and I can carry basically anything I choose too, but I would not hesitate to carry either of these relatively inexpensive handguns.

PITTSBORO — Fran DiGiano, Clean Jordan Lake president and Chatham County Big Sweep coordinator, needs your help restoring Jordan Lake to its natural litter-free environment during the fall Big Sweep cleanups on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Volunteers also are needed for Saturday, Oct. 6, when the Jordan Lake Environment Education Center is partnering with Clean Jordan Lake to organize a cleanup of different locations.
"Most folks would agree that litter is inexcusable yet pervasive in our society,"said DiGiano.
Education and involvement in litter removal can change the behavior of the next generation. When it rains, litter on the land is carried into waterways and along shorelines, where it damages natural habitats, injures or kills wildlife and degrades water quality. Its ugliness also diminishes the economic value of these critical resources.
DiGiano hopes that more than 200 volunteers on Oct. 13 will tackle a critical section of shoreline along the New Hope River channel. Based on past experience, he expects volunteers to remove about 800 bags — or eight tons— of trash and several hundred tires.
Last year, there were 270 Big Sweep volunteers in Chatham County, a 35 percent increase from the previous year.
DiGiano estimates that 50 of the 200 miles of Jordan Lake shoreline has been degraded by litter from recreational users or upstream watersheds. He hopes to someday say that thousands of volunteers have been involved in removing a 30-year legacy of trash along 30 miles of critical shoreline and in repeated cleanings of other habitually littered recreational areas.
"This work is to restore natural habitats and beauty to a very valuable state resource used for hunting, fishing, birdwatching and boating, but also serves as a source of drinking water for 250,000 residents," DiGiano said.
Volunteers will meet on Oct. 13, at 9 a.m. at the parking lot of the New Hope Overlook State Recreation Area off Pea Ridge Road to clean the shoreline to the west. To volunteer, sign up in advance at http://www.meetup.com/helpcleanjordanlake.
On Oct. 6, from 9 a.m.-noon, volunteers will meet at Jordan Lake Environment Education Center, located at 1434 Farrington Road, Apex to clean sites on Marthan Chapel Road and N.C. 751. To sign up as a volunteer for this event, contact Eleanor Herr with the Jordan Lake Environment Education Center at email@example.com.
For other Big Sweep cleanup activities across the state, visit www.ncbigsweep.org or call (800) 277-9337 to find out how to help.
N.C. Big Sweep is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1987 as Beach Sweep, an initiative to remove litter from the state's coastline. It expanded inland in 1989, and was renamed Big Sweep, becoming the nation's first statewide waterway cleanup. Its mission expanded in 2002 from litter-free waters to a litter-free environment. N.C. Big Sweep board of directors is comprised of individuals who represent North Carolina businesses, other nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies. N.C. Big Sweep is best known for its annual statewide cleanup. All told, almost 320,000 Big Sweep volunteers have retrieved during its 25 annual cleanups almost 11 million pounds of debris.

Reverend survived kamikaze assaults in Pacific
Published: Monday, August 1, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 9:45 p.m.
The Rev. William Luther Capell's life before and after World War II has focused on farming apples, raising family and pastoring Baptist churches in the peaceful Blue Ridge of Henderson County.
But for two years between the springs of 1944 and 1946, Capell witnessed more than enough shooting, bombing, death and destruction for a lifetime in the bloody battles of the Pacific.
"I was in 21 months sea duty and everything was fighting," said Capell, a lanky fellow with a twinkle in his eyes who at age 80 still runs the Lazy Boy travel park with his wife, Frances.
By age 21, he had seen comrades shot and blown up and faced the stress and terror of battle. He recalled the Japanese kamikaze pilots flying out of the low bright sun to crash into his ship, spewing flames, twisted metal and death.
"On one occasion, four kamikaze were coming. The captain said lock down everything and he took the ship and began to weave it through the water. All four planes tried to hit us (missed) and exploded."
He added: "We saw a lot of action."
13,000 tons afloat
Capell was born Nov. 24, 1924 in Greenville, S.C., but moved at age 12 to eastern Henderson County where his family raised apples on Couch Mountain in the Fruitland area. He was the fifth of six children. He was drafted, but the Navy gave him a year to work on his family's farm before he reported for boot camp at Camp Perry, Va., on May 1, 1944.
He sailed out of Norfolk, Va., on a troop ship that traveled through the Panama Canal to an island in the South Pacific where he was assigned to a heavy cruiser called the USS Louisville. The 13,000-ton, 600-foot behemoth was commissioned in 1931.
The ship sailed to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands where sailors aboard practiced firing guns. This was more than a year after the conclusion of the famous battle there, but Capell recalls thinking, "I sure got in a mess."
The ship sailed to a small island called Peru held by the Japanese and bombarded if for three days, then to Leyte Gulf, where the largest naval battle ever fought, in terms of ship tonnage, raged from Oct. 23-25, 1944. It was also the first organized assault by suicide Japanese kamikaze in the war.
The ship spent three days firing to clear the beach, then General Douglas McArthur came and went ashore, Capell said.
"I watched him walk off, they said on water, but I'm pretty sure he was on a boat," he said.
He also recalls the reception the sailors got from young women on the island.
"The water was full of scuttle boats full of beautiful women. Boys went crazy, threw clothes and all kinds of things over the side ... We'd been a long time since we'd seen any women."
A few days later, the Louisville was engaged in another battle. "We sunk about 19 ships and shot down 19 planes," he said. "Started firing 4 a.m. to 12 noon.
"You never saw such shooting in all your life," he said. "We was in it all the time. It was awful."
One strike, four dodged
The Louisville and other ships left in action then set out to guard aircraft carriers on their way to Manilla in the Philippines.
"We got word from Tokyo Rose (despised propagator of enemy radio propaganda) that they had 1,000 kamikaze suicide planes that would meet us when we got there," Capell recalls. "That night I couldn't decide where to sleep -- below deck, topside or the flag deck. I asked the Lord if the ship sunk, let me be within a mile from shore."
In Manilla, the ship was hit by one of those suicide planes.
"That plane come in right over the water. If we shot at it, we'd hit our ships," he said. "He hit our ship and when it hit all that fuel splattered all over our ship and ignited. It burned the paint."
Capell and the sailors who were on the starboard side at the time had to go over to the port side where the plane had hit and stand watch over the bodies of their comrades.
"You never smelled such as mess in your life, gas and stink and flesh," he said.
Next the ship journeyed to Okinawa. That's where the captain, through swift maneuvering of the heavy cruiser, dodged attacks from four kamikaze.
"That was a good old gal," he said of the Louisville.
It was soon afterward, toward the end of August 1945, they got word the Japanese had surrendered following the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima on Aug. 6 and Nagasaki on Aug. 9. The surrender meant that the planned and dreaded invasion of the Japanese mainland would not take place.
"We got word the war was over and we screamed and hollered and had a jubilee," he said.
The ship journeyed first to Chifu, China, then back to Hawaii, where the sailors aboard attended a six-week gunnery school. But by that time, they were already well familiar with their weapons.
As a SCB (ships cook and butcher) Capell was called to help load powder into the massive guns and sometimes to man them as they fired.
"One time in Manilla, a boy came up and said I'm scared to death. I said, nah, there ain't no use to be scared. He got killed about 30 seconds later."
Such experiences left their mark on the psyche of the 21-year-old Capell after his ship returned to California. He recalls little of that first year after the war.
"I got the don't cares, wondered if I came home and some of my people died, would I feel anything? It took about a year to get over it, and I thank the Lord I got over it."
He went to work laying bricks and building houses. That's how he first met his bride, the former Frances Searcy, a senior at the former Edneyville High School where he was working. Her sister-in-law also fixed them up.
Mrs. Capell grew up near where the Ingles is now located at the corner of U.S. 64E and Howard Gap Road. They both were attending Ebenezer Baptist Church at the time, right around the corner from where they have lived for much of their nearly 54 years together.
The couple have five children, four daughters and a son, including a teacher, nurse, pastor/businessman, pharmacist and industry worker. Most of them live nearby, along with the couple's six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. One grandson, Eric Baker, completed a tour of duty in Iraq with the army and now has joined the Navy.
For years, Capell did most all the work around the couple's 82-lot travel park, but he has slowed down the past few years. Now they smile and joke together as they look back on their life together.
"I told him if he hadn't been in the Navy, he wouldn't have been able to preach," she said. "He used it for examples all the time."
"Not much," Capell added. "I'd stick to the book."
Thinking of the urban combat today's troops face in Iraq, Capell at first said World War II was "a good war," but reconsiders his words as he thinks about the battles he faced in the Pacific.
"That was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Well, I guess there's never been another one like it."

Good luck to all and enjoy your weekend. Hopefully we will hear more good PR next week, maybe a split. What do you guys think? I think is fair to say what I previously posted a couple of weeks ago.
Baidu will continue to rise. It will be awhile before it splits, somewhere after the $300 mark IMO.
This stock never fails to excite people, that's for sure.I am not sure how you can value this company at over $100 billion, with $2 billion in revenue. Let's assume they grow the top line at 100% over the next 12 months, you want to keep the P/S at 25?It seems to have run out of gas. Let's see what happens with the market tomorrow. The bulls failed to follow through on the pre market. Jobs report was disappointing. 'Nuff said.Many were looking for an upside surprise.

Things aren't what they used to be, are they. All Blacks in pub brawl. Former All Black captain swings handbag. New All Black cries. All Blacks offer public apology.
A public apology? What for? One damaged phone is being replaced. Everybody involved has already been apologised to. I think perhaps they should apologise for being unable to produce the headlines they used to. They should apologise to Keith Murdoch. They should apologise for crying in public. (And I can say that, because Chris and Tana can't find me. I hope.)
So what exactly happened? Says the Hurricanes CEO, "Numerous reports are now in circulation which have provided various accounts about the incident." I'll bet there are. The Herald reports: "The incidents occurred in The Jolly Poacher tavern between 6.30am and 8am on Sunday, witnesses told the Herald." Now, given that the incidents would have taken less than thirty seconds, and the 'time period' for those incidents as given by witnesses still in the bar as the sun came up was an hour-and-a-half, you can only wonder how reliable those witnesses are.
I have to say, however, that having previously been in The Jolly Poacher myself between 6.30am and 8am on a Sunday, I can highly recommend it for an all-nighter. I can also confirm that the bouncers there are exceptional. I never had a chance. But I swear I would have made a perfect witness.

Pauline Shinazy came from a lineage of strong women. Her grandmother left Paris, with no knowledge of the English language, to stake her claim in America. It is no wonder that Pauline inherited these ideals of a liberated woman in a non-liberated era. Pauline was born in 1900 in an area outside of San Francisco. In 1910, after the family home was lost in a fire, Pauline's mother and aunt with the assistance of a handyman rebuilt their home. The main home had the craftsman or bungalow style, but over the generations, as the family grew, it was expanded, again and again. It is uncertain when Pauline first decided to create, but her first medium of choice was oil painting. In the mid-1930′s, an unfortunate family accident led to Pauline's studio being destroyed. From this accident, she moved to the medium of pottery.
Pauline never formally studied pottery-making at an art school, and like many of potters from the Movement, she experimented in the medium to reach very desirable results. To create pottery, Pauline built a shed, where she kept a couple wheels of differing sizes and the necessary inputs to produce ceramic art. She also mixed her own glazes. Her pots were primarily functional in nature, and her granddaughter recalls using them for everyday life. The family is uncertain of the output created by Pauline, and her work should be considered rare because she was not a production potter.
Unless Pauline was going to a social event, she always wore trousers. Although a very sociable person, Pauline typically only shared her process of creating with her family. With six grandchildren, Pauline stirred the creative spirit in each of them and from speaking with her granddaughter; this spirit is as fiery as the day when it was introduced by Pauline many years ago.
She was a person who was always working with her hands. Pauline created pottery until the early 1960′s, when she progressed into the medium of jewelry making. She then ceased to create pottery. She constructed a new addition to her pottery shed to separate her jewelry making from everything else. It was this progression and dedication from medium to medium, which appears to be a common theme in her design.
Although there was a period, where her work showed Native American influence, she created from a "sphere of vision," where her design represented a unique meandering of her translation from objects in nature and everyday life. The jewelry making was particularly memorable for her granddaughter because of the interesting hunts for different stones in California and Nevada. The trips to Lovelock, Nevada were especially poignant because they searched for a particular stone indigenous to this area of the Silver state.

There are so many more stories to tell ... and this is one of them.
It's December 1969 and I'm writing a check for $1,700 – I'm now the proud owner of a Tan Volkswagen Beetle, equipped with a powerful 54 hp engine and an Automatic Stick Shift transmission. Yes, VW made automatics, actually semi-automatics, I still shifted through the gears, but no choreographing my feet, as there was no clutch pedal – Hallelujah. However, this improvement decreased the power, but it was easier to operate. And operate it I did, for the next 38 years.
My bug became part of my identity, a major piece of my history.
For one of my daughter's birthdays, I hauled 11 pre-teen girls and my friend Jean to play miniature golf. As I stood in the driveway staring at the car, then at the mob of girls, then the car . . . "How was I ever going to get all of us into that tiny space?" College students crammed themselves into phone booths; I should be able to do the same, but with a higher level of comfort and safety. Like logs in a cord of wood I stacked the girls, they thought this was the best part of the day.
Every Christmas there was the excursion to the tree farm. Folks in the parking lot with their trucks and station wagons would stare as I lashed a tree, longer and wider than my Beetle, onto the roof and proceeded to secured it with lines and knots that would hold the Titanic to any dock.
One Labor Day, returning from Volcano, CA, roasting in stop-n-go traffic, my son and I decided a water fight would be a welcomed activity. While sitting inside the car – a plastic interior has its advantages – we splashed each other until we looked like it had just rained. There we sat, all wet and smiling and cool. We stopped at every gas station to refill our bottles … and the battle continued.
Although there were many joyous experiences, the lack of power was always an issue.
When my son finally weighed 100 pounds I stopped parking the VW in the up hill direction. It's hilly here so this parking technique was …if not impossible, at least, impractical. Whenever it was the two of us in the VW, I would have him walk to the corner and wait for me; I'd eventually get there. And then, there was that incident when his grandmother was a passenger and he had to give the VW a push to get the bug moving.
During the entire 38 years I lived in the Bay Area where freeway on-ramps were driveway entrances to bumper-car traffic. And, of course around here anywhere I went I encountered undulating streets. All of this resulted in me driving in the slow lane watching cars flash by at the posted speed limit.
Every few years, when I just could not take it any more, I'd decide to "buy a fast car." After a few months the urge would pass and I'd continued to be passed. But in 2007 that ended. Oh, did it ever … zoom, zoom.

text:
Sergeant Logan Walker
- Bash Brothers: With Hesh.
- Being Tortured Makes You Evil: The game ends with Rorke attempting to invoke this on him, just as it was on Rorke.
- Doomed Hometown: San Diego.
- Featureless Protagonist: Fairly standard for an Infinity Ward Call of Duty main character. He is actually seen from behind in some childhood photos with Hesh in the in-game "Rorke Files". All we know about his appearance is that he's Caucasian and he has blond hair.
- Heroic Mime: As a staple of Call of Duty protagonists (with the exception of recent Treyarch games), he has no dialogue.
- Hollywood Healing: Towards the end of the game, he's shot by Rorke during an extended torture sequence. Once he manages to escape, he's somehow back in full fighting condition.
- Like Father, Like Son: Joins the military and eventually becomes a Ghost, just like his brother and father.
- You Killed My Father: When Rorke kills Elias towards the end of the game, he and Hesh seek vengeance against him.
Lieutenant David "Hesh" Walker
- "Dad taught us many things, but one lesson always stood out... Good men are defined by the choices they make."
- The Beastmaster: Is Riley's K9 handler, and uses him in combat and for infiltration.
- Big Brother Instinct: To Logan.
- Doomed Hometown: San Diego.
- Dull Surprise: How would one describe his voice acting? The answer: Using no words or terms that are associated with good quality or positive emotions.
- First-Person Peripheral Narrator: He's the narrator of the game, even though Logan is the actual main character. Largely because Logan never speaks.
- Jumped at the Call: He and Logan spent their youths hearing tales about the Ghosts from their dad. When they actually run into Ghosts while serving as regular infantry, Hesh immediately becomes determined to become one of them.
- Like Father, Like Son: Joins the military and eventually becomes a Ghost, just like his brother and father.
- Name's the Same: Has the same first name as the protagonist of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: At no point is he ever referred to by his real name, as he's always referred to as "Hesh".
- Taking You with Me: Knowing that there's a good chance he and Logan won't be able to beat Rorke, Hesh arranges for the Ghosts to drop a kinetic strike missile on top of all of them if they lose against him. It doesn't work.
- You Killed My Father: When Rorke kills Elias towards the end of the game, he and Logan seek vengeance against him.
Captain Elias Walker
- "A man who truly loves his country doesn't just give his life... he gives his sons."
- Badass Baritone: His voice sounds quite a bit like Sam Fisher's.
- Badass Grandpa: He's one of the oldest soldiers in Ghosts, on top of being the Walker brothers' father.
- Heroic Mime: During his one playable level.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: Gets killed by Rorke in "Sin City". In front of his sons no less!
- Trailers Always Spoil: The fact that Elias is actually the leader of the Ghosts is pretty clearly implicated by the trailers for the game.
- You Are in Command Now: Became the leader of the Ghosts after Rorke was presumed KIA in Venezuela.
- Death by Newbery Medal: Subverted. He gets shot late in the game, but survives and is evacuated by Logan.
- Gameplay Ally Immortality: While this is standard in Call of Duty, it's particularly noticeable for Riley since his only method of attack is to charge straight at angry men with assault rifles and tackle them.
- Heroic Dog/Non-Human Sidekick
- Mythology Gag: Named after Simon "Ghost" Riley from Modern Warfare 2.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: After getting injured in "Sin City", Riley is seen once being sent off with Merrick and is never heard from again.
Captain Merrick
- Blood Knight: In an interview, he dismisses the traditional answers to the question "why do you fight for your country?" and remarks that he does it simply because he's good at it and likes to win.
- Child Prodigy: Was the youngest person to ever complete Navy SEAL training... at 17 years old.
- Jerkass: Knew a man who was murdered by a child soldier and finds it pretty amusing.
- The Lancer: Second-in-command of the Ghosts, first to Rorke, then to Elias Walker.
- You Are in Command Now: Following the death of Elias Walker at the hands of Rorke, he becomes the new leader of the Ghosts.
Sergeant Keegan P. Russ
- Mauve Shirt: He doesn't talk much, has no definitive personality traits (other than the fact he doesn't talk much), is only seen without his mask on once in the entire game, and plays no real major role in the story. At the same time, he's in your squad for a pretty decent amount of the game. He seems to play a similar role as Crosby in Black Ops 2.
- First-Name Basis: Only goes by Keegan to the rest of the Ghosts.
- Semper Fi: He was a United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper before he was a ghost.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Keegan is never seen or heard from after the mission "Sin City", given he was ordered to meet the Secretary of Defense before said mission.
Gabriel Rorke
- "To us, Rorke was a legend. The man could walk through hell and not get burned. Ghosts were the best of the best. But Rorke was the reason we were feared."
- The Ace: By far the best fighter out of all the series' villains. He might not have the raw power of Raul Menendez, but his special forces training makes him an extremely dangerous combatant who effectively counters your quicktime event attacks on multiple occasions. He's also the only Call of Duty villain to survive a fight against a COD protagonist.
- The Bad Guy Wins: The Ghosts thwart his plan to take over America, but he survives his confrontation with Logan and Hesh, and even manages to capture Logan in hopes of turning him into another Manchurian Agent like him.
- Blood Knight: Elias indicates Rorke was something of a fanatic even before his FaceHeel Turn.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Was "turned" by the Federation to their cause through exotic Amazonian torture techniques. Although, it seems his primary motive for changing sides was to seek vengeance against Elias Walker for letting go of him and leaving him to die at the end of their last mission.
- Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Well, he was apparently already a Blood Knight even before being tortured. The torture just switched the targets of his ire.
- Broken Pedestal: It's clear Elias used to look up to him. Now he's just another terrorist bastard as far as Elias is concerned.
- Chekhov's Gunman: He's the soldier seen prominently featured in the prologue narration about the formation of the Ghosts.
- The Determinator: Rourke's single-minded obsession with killing General Almagro is the reason why he got captured by the Federation. After being turned by them he displays the same obsessiveness when it comes to hunting down the Ghosts.
- The Dreaded: His article quote neatly sums it up. At the end of the game, when Hesh and Logan go to face them, they actually make plans to have the Ghosts blow up the train they're on, because they know there's a good chance they're going to lose against him.
- FaceHeel Turn: After Elias dropped him in Caracas to be captured by the Federation to be brainwashed.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: While he was still part of the Ghosts, his face was free of scars. When he returns 12 years later, his face has several of them, presumably coming from his brainwashing.
- The Heavy: He is not the leader of the Federation, but he is the most prominent enemy faced throughout the game.
- Hero Killer: He's known as "the Ghost Killer" for a reason.
- Invincible Villain: Even more so than Makarov from the Modern Warfare games, Rourke is always two steps ahead of the heroes and he always escapes situations where his death seems certain. At the end of the game he even survives a train wreck, getting shot by a .44 magnum revolver, and sinking into the ocean, and he's still healthy enough to subdue Logan and drag him off as a prisoner.
- It's All About Me: He gives his motivation for turning as being betrayed by the Ghosts and "abandoned." This despite the fact that if Elias hadn't let go of him all four of the Ghosts would have died, and that they searched for his body for months.
- Karma Houdini: He survives the game and pretty much gets away with all of his crimes.
- Made of Iron: In the game's final mission not only does he get shot by a .44 Magnum and sink to the bottom of the ocean, but a few minutes later he shows up not just alive, but only slightly wounded.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Angels and demons.
- Not Quite Dead: He was presumed dead in Caracas, but he survived and was captured and brainwashed by the Federation. He pulls it off again at the end, surviving a Kill Sat, a .44 magnum to the chest, and nearly drowning.
- One-Man Army: Imagine if John Rambo turned to the dark side and you've got a pretty good description of Rourke.
- Villainous Breakdown: He has one at the end of the game when Hesh calls down the rod strike on the train he's aboard.
Specialist Kyra Mosely
- Action Girl: She, along with Baker, get to kill dozens of Federation soldiers IN SPACE!
- Dying Moment of Awesome/Heroic Sacrifice: Along with Baker, she sacrifices her life to scuttle the ODIN station and prevent any more American cities from being destroyed by rod strikes.
- The Smurfette Principle: She is the only female character of any import in the game.
Specialist Baker
- A Space Marine Is You
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Being burned up in the Earth's atmosphere.
- Dying Moment of Awesome/Heroic Sacrifice
- Heroic Mime
Sergeant Thompson
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: His first and only appearance as a playable character is in the penultimate mission.
- A Space Marine Is You
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Averted, being one of the few astronauts in COD to do so. He survives the entirety of the level he's featured in and actually helps your other player character (Logan) indirectly.
- Heroic Mime: As usual.
Diego Almagro
- Posthumous Character: He was killed 12 years prior to the game's events, and only shows up in a flashback.
- Predecessor Villain: He was the leader of the Federation until 12 years ago, when Elias killed him.

Adobe PS Lightroom
No it doesn't.
Lightroom is pretty brilliant. It stores and organises your pictures and allows a great variety of different ways of classing them by your assessment, tags, metadata etc. You can create collections, sets of collections and smart collections which search your entire catalogue of shots.
Any editing work you do is non-destructive: that is Lightroom stores the original image and stores in a database the changes you made, so when you view or print its the shot plus changes that you see. If you export it also carries the changes: BUT here's the genius because the editing is non-destructive its very easy to make a virtual copy of your image inside Lightroom and treat it an entirely different way and because of the way the programme remembers the work you did - ie as data not a copy image - it doesn't take twice the disk space, and you don't have to keep track of renaming copies etc.
Personally I think Lightroom is a great programme its very photographic rather than having the graphic emphasis of programmes like photoshop.
Also right now its price is a bargain

I want to be able to email out powerpoint presentation that will be disabled/unreadable/expire after 6 months. Can this be done?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Feb 3 '10 at 8:30
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Yes, you can do this with Rights Management, but this is not programming-related. You just need to sign up for the service (and pay for it after 6 months). Or maybe your company has this service. Works for sure in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, I'm not sure about earlier versions.
I think the best you could do is to embed the presentation in a winforms application with an ActiveX Control, which you set to not run after a certain length of time.
If you are not a programmer, I'm sorry; this is a site for programming-related questions, so I made some assumptions.
Yes, I do as suggested by another, the Information Right Management and it works well. My company has this service, so I don't need to sign up with my hotmail.com

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The chairman of the Democratic Party in Palm Beach County is apologizing for saying Christians want Jews to "be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ."
Mark Alan Siegel made the comments Wednesday night to the conservative website Patriot Update while attending the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
He called fundamentalist Christians "the worst possible allies for the Jewish state" and said "they want Israel to pursue policies which are antithetical with its security and existence."
Siegel issued an apology Thursday for what he said were "ill-chosen words" that "did not accurately make the point I was trying to establish."

Jessica Lu Block CPOLYMETHYL METHACRYLATEPolymethyl methacrylate--most commonly known as Acrylic Plastic, Lucite, Plexiglas and PMMA (called by "lazy" scientists)--is a clear plastic often used as a replacement for glass since it very strong. Polymethyl methacrylate is an ester of methacrylic acid.
Basic Information:
Glass transition temperature: 85 to 165°C(the range is very large due to different companies having different mixtures/formulas) Density: 1.19 g/cm3
Melting Point: 160°C
Boiling Point: 200°C
Ignition Point: 460°C
Softening Point: 125°C
A block of polymethyl methacrylate:
picture from: http://www.apolloartifacts.com/images/astp_lucite.jpg
How it's made:
Polymethyl methacrylate was first made in 1843. It is usually made by polymerization (batch cell polymerization and continuous bulk polymerization) like all plastics. During polymerization, one of the bonds in the double bond in Methyl methacrylate (CH2=C(CH3) COOCH3) connects with another methyl methacrylate molecule. A chain is formed and continued until the correct chain (the polymethyl methacrylate chain) is formed.
A chain of methyl methacrylate to form polymethyl methacrylate:
pictures from: http://pslc.ws/mactest/pmma.htm
How we can use it/how it affects us:Though it has very low tolerance for chemicals, it has incredible weathering and scratch resistance and therefore perfect to use in aquariums since it doesn't break very easily and can withstand the pressure from the water. It is very useful to keep machines running. Mixing a bit of the Polymethyl methacrylate into lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids used in machines can stop these fluids from hardening, allowing machines to work under cold temperatures. Toy companies also use polymethyl methacrylate to replace glass so that if the toys break, the kids would not be harmed unlike glass which breaks into many small pieces. Some paint is also made of polymethyl methacrylate. Those paints are basically just polymethyl methacryate in some water (though something with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups is required since polymethyl methacrylate is hydrophobic). Other uses include: store fixtures and displays, lenses and lighting fixtures, light pipes, windows and skylights, sight gauges, furniture, outdoor signs and sculptures. It can also be used to replace lost/weak bones in orthopedic surgery. Polymethyl methacrylate can be obtained in pellet, powder, tube/stick or sheet form.
A guitar made of polymethyl methacrylate:
picture from: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/turquoisemoleeater/guitars/LuciteMMbass.jpg
Interesting facts:Despite being used because it is safe (e.g. aquarium, ice hockey rink barriers, children's toys, etc.), while it is being made, it is very dangerous. If not monitored carefully, it can explode during the polymerization process at any time. Also, it is very dangerous to produce as it creates toxic fumes. Recently, it has been made required by law to have the products being made in a closed area and to have all the fumes be cleaned/neutralized before there are anyone could let the fumes out into the atmosphere. Another ironic thing is that it is highly flammable and even sometimes protected from sources of combustion.

Nothing goes unrecorded by the car dash cams of Taiwan:
TransAsia Airways Flight 235 looks to have lost a lot of power from its left engine. But assuming that the propeller blades of the failing engine were feathered to lessen drag, there's no reason why a properly-loaded ATR 72 shouldn't have been able to climb out to a safe altitude using the remaining engine.
There appears to be a lot of data recorded on this crash, so they mystery should be solved soon…
These tourist choppers sometimes conk out near the Golden Gate Bridge and when that happens then only thing for the pilot to do is pop open the compressed gas container you can see there in order to inflate the six airbags you can also see there.
Then a call to the Coast Guard, which will give you a friendly tow to land, hurray!
It happens sometimes
"The Subway to Nowhere. House Chamber, Washington, D.C. June 27, 2012. Remarks by Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA)."
"Mr. Chairman:
This amendment forbids further federal expenditures for the Central Subway project in San Francisco.
The project is a 1.7 mile subway that is estimated to cost $1.6 billion –– and those cost estimates continue to rise. Its baseline budget has more than doubled in nine years and shows no signs of slowing. The current estimate brings the cost to nearly $1 billion per mile. That's five times the cost per lane mile of Boston's scandalous "Big Dig."
It was supposed to link local light rail and bus lines with CalTrain and Bay Area Rapid Transit, but it's so badly designed that it bypasses 25 of the 30 light rail and bus lines that it crosses. To add insult to insanity, it dismantles the seamless light-rail to BART connection currently available to passengers at Market Street, requiring them instead to walk nearly a quarter mile to make the new connection. Experts estimate it will cost commuters between five and ten minutes of additional commuting time on every segment of the route.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "a case study in government incompetence and wasted taxpayer money."
They're not alone. The Civil Grand Jury in San Francisco has vigorously recommended the project be scrapped, warning that maintenance alone could ultimately bankrupt San Francisco's Muni. The former Chairman of the San Francisco Transportation Agency has called it, "one of the costliest mistakes in the city's history."
Even the sponsors estimate that it will increase ridership by less than one percent, and there is vigorous debate that this projection is far too optimistic.
I think Margaret Okuzumi, the Executive Director of the Bay Rail Alliance put it best when she said,
"Too many times, we've seen money for public transit used to primarily benefit people who would profit financially, while making transit less convenient for actual transit riders. Voters approve money for public transit because they want transit to be more convenient and available…it would be tragic if billions of dollars were spent on something that made Muni more time consuming, costly and unable to sustain its overall transit service."
This administration is attempting to put federal taxpayers – our constituents — on the hook for nearly a billion dollars of the cost of this folly through the "New Starts" program – or more than 60 percent. We have already squandered $123 million on it. This amendment forbids another dime of our constituents' money being wasted on this boondoggle.
Now here is an important question that members may wish to ponder: "Why should your constituents pay nearly a billion dollars for a purely local transportation project in San Francisco that is opposed by a broad, bi-partisan coalition of San Franciscans, including the Sierra Club, Save Muni (a grassroots organization of Muni Riders), the Coalition of San Francisco Neighborhoods, and three of the four local newspapers serving San Francisco?
Why, indeed.
I'm sorry, I don't have a good answer to that question. But those who vote against this amendment had better have one when their constituents ask, "What in the world were you thinking?"

Well, look what the SFPD is crowing about today:
"SFPD Arrest MUNI Pickpocket Trio
San Francisco police officers arrested three men acting together to pickpocket Muni patrons. Taken into custody November 29 were Miguel Lucana, 42, of San Francisco; Antonio Martinez, 34, also of San Francisco; and Juan Gonzales, 38, of Oakland.
Click to expand
"On November 29, shortly after 3:00 P.M., two plain clothes SFPD officers assigned to the Muni Task Force were at the bus stop at Geary and Powell streets preparing to board a bus as part of ongoing efforts to help prevent pickpocket thefts on buses. One of the officers recognized Lucana, who has prior police contacts, standing at the bus stop with a t-shirt draped over his shoulder. Typically, a pickpocket will conceal his arm and hand during the theft attempt.
Standing next to Lucana on the crowded 38 Muni, one of the officers saw him attempt unsuccessfully to furtively open the purse of a woman standing next to him. Lucana then moved to another part of the bus, where he spoke with suspects Martinez and Gonzales. Pickpockets often work in pairs or more. One passenger on the bus reported that his wallet was missing
All three suspects were detained in the vicinity of Post and Fillmore streets. Police recovered the victim's wallet, which had been in Lucana's possession.
All three suspects were charged with theft and conspiracy and remain in custody.
"I am extremely proud of our Muni Task Force for everything they do to help keep this system safe," said Ed Reiskin, SFMTA Director of Transportation. "Their dedication and hard work further ensure that those who commit crimes on Muni will be brought to justice."
The San Francisco Police Department reminds the public to be vigilant of their belongings and surroundings in crowded public spaces, and especially on public transportation. Keep wallets in a front pocket and purses within sight at all times. Be wary of any abrupt physical contact or suspicious behavior. Citizens are also advised to use electronic devices sparingly in public, as criminal opportunists take advantage of citizens distracted while using these devices."
Well we made it. We've gone ten years without a passenger dying on a commercial jetliner flying above America, or coming to America or leaving from America. (Now that doesn't include regional jets – I'm talking about jet airliners, narrow-body or wide-body, made by Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed, or McDonnell Douglas.)
The last day passengers died was November 12th, 2001 on American Airlines Flight 587.
Of course, we've had some close calls since then, like with that shoe bomber guy or with Sully Sullenberger and his famous water landing.
Military flights, well that's a different story. Capt. Christopher Stricklin punches out (and lives to tell the tale) 200 feet above Idaho:

(And this no-deaths record doesn't include smaller aircraft like regional jets or turboprops or private airplanes.)
Needless to say, this streak of good luck hasn't happened before. Back in the day, back in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, people would die on big jets all the time.
But not anymore.
It's hard to say.

Here's the prior scene.
And here's the aftermath.
I don't know what to make of this one…
Jessica Lum of Mission Local has the deets on Rupa Marya, MD, who will be there at Civic Center for OpBART III – Tokyo Drift on Monday, August 29th, 2011.
Here's here "Dear San Francisco" letter, below.
"Dear San Francisco,
I am one of your local physicians and have taken care of many different kinds of people during the past 9 years of my appointment as an internist at UCSF, where I have worked at SF General Hospital as well as at the VA and the UCSF campuses. San Francisco is a surprisingly small town, and when you spend enough time in the health care industry, you come to recognize many of the city's residents. You hold their stories and watch over them, in the hospital when they are ill and in the chance occurrences of running into them on the streets, in the market or painting the town red. It is an honor and great privilege to take care of the people of this city that I love so dearly.
Last month, I learned that one of my former patients Charles Hill was shot and killed by BART police. Per the police, he was armed with a bottle and a knife and had menacing behavior. Per eye witnesses, he was altered and appeared to be intoxicated but did not represent a lethal danger. I remember Charles vividly, having taken care of him several times in the revolving door which is the health care system for the people who do not fit neatly into society. Charles was a member of the invisible class of people in SF–mentally ill, homeless and not reliably connected to the help he needed. While I had seen him agitated before and while I can't speak to all of his behavior, I never would have described him as threatening in such a way as to warrant the use of deadly force. We often have to deal with agitated sometimes even violent patients in the hospital. Through teamwork, tools and training, we have not had to fatally wound our patients in order to subdue them. I understand the police are there to protect us and react to the situation around them, but I wonder why the officer who shot Charles did not aim for the leg if he felt the need to use a gun, instead of his vital organs. I wonder if he possessed other training methods to subdue an agitated man with a knife or bottle.
I feel this situation quite deeply. It is hard to watch our civil servants (police) brutally handle a person and their body when i spend my time and energy as a civil servant (physician) honoring the dignity of that person, regardless of their race or social class, their beliefs or their affiliations. I know it is not my job–nor the police's job—to mete out justice or judgment of a person's worthiness. It is also hard because Charles has no voice, no one to speak for him now that he is gone. It would be easy to let this slide and move on with our busy lives, as we all struggle to make ends meet in this expensive city during a recession. I believe this situation shows us how powerless we all feel to some degree.
I feel outraged and am trying to find the best ways to express it–through creative outpouring, through conversations. I would like to lend my voice to the growing protest of the BART police's excessive use of violent force and know that weekly protests are being organized on Mondays until demands are met for BART to fully investigate the shooting of Charles Hill, disarm its police force and train them properly, as well as bringing the officer who shot him to justice. The media is portraying the annoyance of the protests to commuters more than the unbelievable horror that an innocent man was shot dead by the force that is meant to protect us. I don't want to upset commuters or be a nuisance. I would like to be part of educating and not letting this slip under the proverbial rug, in honor of Charles Hill and in order to help prevent something like this from ever happening again.
I will be present at the peaceful demonstrations on Mondays in front of the BART Civic Center station, not to prevent commuters from getting home, but to educate a population that may need to pause and think about the value a human life has and the kind of San Francisco we want to live and work in.
Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.
Rupa Marya, MD"

Sarkozy's New Business Tax to Hit About 100 Companies, Aide Says
A new business tax French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced yesterday will affect about 100 businesses and not just the companies in the benchmark CAC 40 index he initially implied, his spokeswoman said.
Sarkozy, who faces re-election in April, announced on a television talk show that he'll create a new levy to ensure large French companies pay a minimum amount of tax.
His spokeswoman, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet said at a press conference in Paris today that the tax would apply to any company headquartered in France with a capitalization of more than 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion).
She said only about half the members of the CAC 40 pay any income tax in France because of various loopholes and foreign tax treaties, and that those that do pay contribute a total of between 3 billion euros and 4 billion euros a year to the country's tax revenue. She didn't have those statistics for all 100 companies that could be affected.
The goal of the new tax is to raise an additional 2 billion euros to 3 billion euros a year.
"Working on the tax rate doesn't do any good; it's working on the tax base that matters," Kosciusko-Morizet said.
The tax will initially be levied on worldwide revenue. Once the necessary treaties with other countries are in place, it will be levied on worldwide profit, she said.

Channel catfish virus
|Virus classification
|Group I (dsDNA)
Channel catfish virus
Channel Catfish virus (Ictalurid herpesvirus 1) is a member of the Alloherpesviridae family that causes disease in catfish.[1] Infection with Channel catfish viral disease (CCVD) can cause significant economic loss in channel catfish farms.
The disease is endemic in the USA and there are reports of the virus in Honduras and Russia. Transmission is both horizontal and vertical. Channel catfish and blue catfish are the only fish that are susceptible to CCVD. Reservoirs of disease are clinically affected fish and recovered covert carriers.[2]
Disease occurs in fish less than a year old that weigh less than 10 grams. The critical environmental factor is water temperature with the disease occurring during warm weather. Outbreaks are normally seen only in farmed fish.
Clinical signs[edit]
Affected fish have pot-bellied appearance, haemorrhages on the fins and musculature and exopthalmos. Affected fish seem off balance and tend to swim erratically or close to the surface, eventually sinking to the bottom.
Fish that survive the infection have lifelong protective immunity but remain latent carriers of CCV. This is a significant source of disease for vulnerable fish.
Increased mortality in young catfish during warm weather, especially after stress is suggestive of CCVD.
CCV can be detected in water containing infected fish and organs of diseased fish by virus neutralisation, fluorescent antibody testing, ELISA or PCR. FAT and ELISA should be used for diagnosis of clinically infected fish while virus neutralisation or PCR should be used to detect carrier fish. Lesions are seen on the liver, kidney and many other internal organs both histologically and grossly on postmortem examination.[2]
Treatment and control[edit]
There is no available treatment. Stress and high stocking-densities should be avoided to reduce disease occurrence. Appropriate quarantine and hygiene measures should be employed to prevent spread of disease. The virus is sensitive to acidic pH, heat and UV light and is inactivated by pond mud and sea water.[2]
