Problems with representing friendship in painting and the novel and its more successful displays in drama reflect the fact that friends seldom act as inspiringly as traditional images of the relationship suggest: friends' activities are often trivial, commonplace and boring, sometimes even criminal. Despite all that, the philosophical tradition has generally considered friendship a moral good. I argue that it is not a moral good, but a good nonetheless. It provides opportunities to try different ways of being, and is crucial to the processes through which we establish our individuality.

Just over a year ago, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a notification concerning certain elements in the theological works of the Salvadoran priest, Jon Sobrino, SJ. The substance of the complaints centered on Christology: the congregation found Sobrino's teaching inadequate regarding the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God, the self-consciousness of Jesus, and the salvific value of Jesus' death.
Christology is not a trivial issue. Getting Jesus right is at the heart of Christian identity. But both the substance and the style of the congregation's composition reveal a troubling tension in contemporary Catholic theology. On one side are those, like Sobrino, whose thought is forged with explicit attention to specific cultural contexts and who claim their teaching about Jesus is faithful to Scripture; on the other side are the ecclesiastical officers who also claim to interpret Jesus faithfully vis-à-vis Scripture, within the framework of the doctrinal tradition of the great councils and the popes.
It is not troubling that there should be criticism and response among theologians, or question and answer between theological teachers and representatives of the church's magisterium. Such exchanges are part of the healthy functioning of the body of Christ, in which the different gifts are exercised as the Spirit...

After a couple of relatively heavy duty love stories, Ranbir Kapoor would finally be letting his hair down. If the First Look of his upcoming Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is any indication, he is finally all set for a film that allows him to be a 'regular and normal' youngster in a 'fun love story' setup.
"Both Barfi! and Rockstar, despite being successes, had a lot of serious undertones to them. While in Barfi! he had to really put himself in a lot of emotional stress, Rockstar didn't even allow him to smile for a large part of the film, leave aside giving him any space to have fun.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani seems to allow that. Call it the candyfloss world of Karan Johar films but finally Ranbir is playing his age and is taking a break from roles where he is required to go through a lot of mental and physical stress", says a source attached to the film.
In fact this is his first ever film where it is expected that some true blue conventional 'hero-heroine' romance that would rule the roost.
"Anjaana Anjaani had a sad element to it since his character had suicidal tendencies. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani was basically a comedy. In Bachna Ae Haseeno he was hardly shown to be in love and was casually flirting around. As for Saawariya, it was about one sided love", said a source.
However the makers of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani vouch for the fact that Ranbir Kapoor would be 'loving' like never before while director Ayan Mukerji too has taken a route different from his debut flick Wake Up Sid.
"Well, all I can say for now is that it is a lovely love story", said Karan Johar.
And we were almost expecting the tagline for the film to read - 'It's all about loving your loved ones'!

NEW YORK (April 19, 2013)--Trisha Yearwood lost 30 pounds in four months and she did it her own way.
She created her own diet and stuck with it, even when she didn't.
Yearwood told People magazine she used to buy every magazine that showed someone who had dropped 30 pounds, but she didn't want to face the fact that dieting is hard work.
Yearwood designed her own low-fat, low-sugar diet and she tries to cook all her food for the week.
She says in the past, if she ate something she shouldn't, such as a cheeseburger, she would figure she blew it and then eat 20 cheeseburgers, but now when she slips, she just exercises a little more.
Husband, Garth Brooks, has lost 20 pounds too.

My cat eats those things.
Mothra strikes again...
A lot of tears? That needs major explaining so I can have a good laugh.
Thanks for boxing the moth up and putting it outside.
It's obviously to promote the season finale of Venture Bros on adultswim.com this afternoon
@1: no, the wing edge is all wrong. I dunno what it is. Beautiful, though. Tears, really?
Moths come inside to die. They've already mated and now they're breaking down on a cellular level. Their eyesight fails, they cannot fight the outside breeze, and they seek refuge with us in our bright, windless shelters. Please, offer them some peace during their final hours.
I'd like to know who cried. My money is on Mudede.
@7, thanks for the clarification...or at least elimination of a suspect!
When I was a kid down in southern Indiana, cecropias and lunas would darken a room when they flew in front of a light. But I always thought they were beautiful, and no cause for tears!
That tiny thing? We had moths that were about ten inches across where I grew up. My best friend was fucking terrified of them.
Poor bunch of babies - I hope you don't ever get some real infestation of winged horrors...
Ugh...I'm fucking terrified of moths. I'd be crying too.
For god sakes you screaming queens, moths don't even have mouths.
I think y'all need to make Paul a trophy out of a Ken Doll, a block of wood, and a bottle of gold paint, and the trophy says "Bravest Writer of the Year", and it's holding a tiny box with a paper mache moth in it.
Miss Jarvie at 8: the most beautiful Slog comment this week, at least. Now I am drunk.
First Bigfoot sighting/capture now this. What's next?
You guys are fucking pathetic. Were you on something at the time?
Don't you hate smart ass slog/blog comments?
Do these comments really make people posting anonymously feel superior or super charged after a long day of sitting like a blob at a computer trying to say something they think is witty
Make them log in so we know who they are. Make them accountable for comments instead of cowardly hiding behind an anonymous post.
I post less and do not come to the strangers blog because it is bogged down with crap. It is not interesting anymore because no one is accountable for what they say.
Unaccountability is what makes Slog fun, silly.
It's Ascalapha odorata, the black witch moth.
They are huge and often mistaken for bats.
Moths are more wondrous than butterflies - definitely worth taming a fear for. Check out Joseph Scheer's "Night Visions | The Secret Design of Moths."
You need to get a bat. No silly- not baseball- mammal.
you should be proud of our city that such a creature lives in it. it is testament to the (comparative) health of our environment.
i take every new bird species i see in my neighborhood as proof that we're doing better.
i'd have been running for the internet to figure out what species it was.
Seeing new species living in an area should not be interpreted as the ecosystem "doing better".
It may be that because of climate change or human carelessness and habitat destruction, animal and plant types have been pushed into to different parts of the world.
Native species are often wiped out when new predators move in. For example, most of the animal and plant life in the Hawaiian islands is non-native, and thousands of native Hawaiian species are now extinct.
And let's not forget the most dangerous invasive species of all.... Man! We've killed off almost all the large animals in the world, which were not prepared for a predator like us.
Sam @24: don't be a fool. Moths are migratory, and these ones are commonly found as far north as Canada. It's not indicative of anything.
Miss Poppy @21, thank you for your identification and very educational link. Moths kick ass -- except for the millions of flour moths that are infesting our house right now, despite having cleaned out every corner of every cupboard.
Kelly O and Ari Spool give common house moth can of Rize, common house moth drink Rize, freak out, Mothra out, COMMON HOUSE MOTH BECOME MOTHRA!
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
Not that anyone will actually read this now, but last night after reading this post I hopped into the shower to find a giant moth waiting for me, next to the shower head.
Needless to say I did my best Janet Leigh impression for this beast... including *almost* ripping down the shower curtain on my way out.

Owner of Vt. oil pipeline seeks ruling re-doMay 15,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — The owner of a crude oil pipeline that runs between Maine and Montreal is asking Vermont environmental regulators to reconsider a ruling that would require a new review under the state's land use law if the company seeks to move Canadian tar sands oil in the pipeline.
Last month, Vermont's District 7 Environmental Commission determined the Portland Pipeline Corp. would need a new Act 250 land-use permit if it proposes to move Canadian tar sands oil through an existing pipeline between Montreal and Portland.
The decision said changing the use of the pipeline would represent a significant change to the existing pipeline and so warrant a new review.
In its request, dated Tuesday, the pipeline company says it has no plans to convert the pipeline to carry tar sands oil.MORE IN This Just In

I'm having difficulty getting MU Multisite Tags to copy/include the custom fields I'm using within my posts. I see that there is a field for adding "Post Meta" within SWT settings, but I'm not sure how I should enter the desired custom fields there?
I'm also using the Custom Field Template plugin, and calling the custom fields individually (and conditionally) within my theme files (ex: single.php). For example:

<?php $institution_values = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'institution', true);
if ($institution_values == '')
{ ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo $institution_values; ?>
<?php } ?>

Note: With SWT plugins now installed, any information I enter into the custom fields within the write panel does not save either... in other words it goes away as soon as I publish or update the post. I'm guessing this is related to the abovementioned need to add these to the SWT settings?
Any help here would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance!

text: Well, I'm newer to the competitive scene, but I've been lurking around, reading up on teams, and about the metagame. So, I finally decided to make an account and join. I created this team a few days ago, and it started off not too much differently than it is now. I had to tweak a few things here and there, but it seems to be doing alright. Originally Hydreigon was in place of Latios, but again, it was suggested by Deuce to replace him with a Latios. After I did a few tests, it proved to not only do the same thing, but it hit even faster than Hydreigon could have. Held Item: Expert Belt Ability: Levitate Moveset: -Hidden Power(Fire) -Dragon Pulse -Psyshock -Surf The set hasn't changed much. I got rid of the power of Focus Blast on Hydreigon for the STAB of Psyschock on Latios. Hidden Power Fire more or less helps make up for what I lost, although it lacks the power to hit Dark and Normal types well. Surf and Dragon Pulse hit faster and slightly harder than they did with Hydreigon. EV spread is: 4 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed. Timid nature for the speed boost. The second Pokemon on the team. Originally it was a Metagross, but that just did not seem to be getting the offensive terror I was trying to get. I looked through a few Pokemon.. And Salamence just seemed to fit that role perfectly. Held Item: Life Orb Ability: Intimidate Moveset: -Draco Meteor -Outrage -Fire Blast -Brick Break [/LIST] I went with the MixMence set. It gives more of a suprise than some of the others, and allows flex room. Draco Meteor and Outrage are powerful STAB moves, but they have their downfalls. Draco Meteor is for those Physical Walls that think I'm going for that approach. Outrage does the same, but with Special Walls. Fire Blast decimates Steels and Ice types. Brick Break puts a good dent in walls like Blissey and Tyranitar, Sweeper variations included on the latter. The EV spread is: 64 Atk/192 Sp.Atk/252 Speed with a Naive nature. Espeon, probably more of a counter lead than anything.. And a great status deflector thanks to Magic Bounce. This was suggested by Deuce, and after a few tests, it looked way better than Aerodactyl. Held Item:Light Clay Ability:Magic Bounce Moveset: -Light Screen -Reflect -Psychic -Hidden Power(Fire) After running a few tests Espeon did astounding. He proved his place on the team, and created WAY better benefits and synergy than Aerodactyl ever did. Magic Bounce is a huge help. I can see why he was suggested. EV spread is: Scizor. One of the best revenge killers out there. With STAB Bullet Punch and Technician, he was a clear choice to my lack of high speed on the team.Held Item: Choice Band Ability: Technician Moveset: -U-Turn -Bullet Punch -Super Power - Pursuit The moveset is nothing special, just like Aerodactyl's. I choose this to make up for the lack of speed I seem to have. U-Turn allows me to scout, and it hits Dark and Psychics well. Bullet Punch is for those revenge kills. Super Power clears out anything that tries to wall, and Pursuit is for those Psychic Types that want to get out, and some times even Ghosts. EV spread is: 252 Atk/ 4 Sp.Def/ 252 Speed. Jolly nature. Originally this was a Blissey, but under suggestion of Deuce, I replaced her with a Magnezone, and quite to my benefit. He helps hit the Steels that try to resist my STAB moves, and then traps them with Magnet Pull. Held Item: Choice Scarf Ability: Magnet Pull Moveset: -Hidden Power(Ice) -Volt Switch -Thunderbolt -Flash Cannon I chose a Choice Scarf to make up for Magnezone's lack of speed. It seems to do better than Choice Specs in the tests. I get in, hit pretty fast considering the horrid speed he has, and hard, thanks to the already good Sp.Atk hes got going on. EV Spread: 4 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed. Going with a Timid nature for more speed than strength. Mamoswine. Immune to both Hail and Sandstorm. Great STAB combination as well. Great for covering what the rest of the team can't, and has the potential of revenge killing. Held Item: Leftovers Ability: Snow Cloak Moveset: -Stealth Rock -Ice Shard -Earthquake -Stone Edge Well, another suggestion by Deuce. I haven't finished the testing with Starmie, so this slot is still pending, but for now its filled by Mamoswine. He out does Donphan as far as damage goes, and I'm willing to sacrifice the longevity for some power. Revenge killing with Ice Shard is great too. EV spread is: 4 Atk/ 252 Def/252 Speed. Using an Adamant nature for an extra bit of power. And that is that. Please, rate, comment, and help in anyways you can. Its appreciated as this team is still going through testing and tweaking. Thank you. Edit #1: Replaced Hydreigon with Latios. Aerodactyl with Espeon, Blissey for Magenzone, and Mamoswine took place of Cofagirus.

Jack isn't really dead.
- At least, his mind isn't. Considering his half-Yithian powers, it's feasible that he might have just taken control of another body in secret. After all, he still needs to do something about the Flying Polyps. Even if he was truly suicidal, it's doubtful that Jack's Yithian father would have gone through the trouble of telling Jack about his true heritage and the threat to come only for his son to commit suicide. There must have been some sort of safeguard planted in Jack's mind tailored to this situation.

Thanks and Spring Wrap-Up
BWRFC Finishes 3rd in East at D1 National Playoffs
We wanted to extend our thanks to the MANY people that cheered, supported and donated to our club as we finished our our competitive season this spring. Your support meant the most to us as we claimed the #1 Seed in the Northeast and a spot in the Elite 8s Division 1 Playoffs in Pittsburgh in May, 2016. It was a rainy weekend – that resulted in a tight game and a 12-5 loss on the first day to the Raleigh Venom Women's Club. But BWRFC came back on Sunday with a rematch against the crosstown rivals that ended in our favor with a 27-8 victory over Beantown. Playoffs weekend culminated in 3rd Place in the East and we're so proud of our team that never stopped working towards our goals. While we're excited about our Summer 7s endeavors, we can't wait for another chance to earn our way to Club 15s Nationals starting in the fall. And we know we'll have your support as we go. Thank you all – with love and BootKisses. To check out some AMAZING photographs, courtesy of Colleen McCloskey, from our Saturday match against the Raleigh Venom: Click Here

Financial analysts and personal financial advisors provide investment analysis and guidance to businesses and individuals to help them with their investment decisions. They gather financial information, analyze it, and make recommendations. However, their job duties differ because of the type of investment information they provide and the clients they work for. Financial analysts assess the economic performance of companies and industries for firms and institutions with money to invest. Personal financial advisors generally assess the financial needs of individuals, providing them a wide range of options.
Financial analysts, also called security analysts and investment analysts, work for banks, insurance companies, mutual and pension funds, securities firms, and other businesses helping the company or their clients make investment decisions. They read company financial statements and analyze commodity prices, sales, costs, expenses, and tax rates in order to determine a company's value and project future earnings. They often meet with company officials to get better insight into a company and determine managerial effectiveness. Usually financial analysts study an entire industry, assessing current trends in business practices, products, and industry competition. They must keep abreast of new regulations or policies that may affect the industry, as well as monitor the economy to determine its effect on earnings.
Financial analysts use spreadsheet and statistical software packages to analyze financial data, spot trends, and develop forecasts. Based on their results, they write reports and make presentations, usually making recommendations to buy or sell a particular investment or security. Senior analysts may actually make the decision to buy or sell for the company or client if they are the ones responsible for managing the assets. Other analysts use the data to measure the financial risks associated with making a particular investment decision.
Financial analysts in investment banking departments of securities or banking firms often work in teams analyzing the future prospects of companies that want to sell shares to the public for the first time. They also ensure that the forms and written materials necessary for compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations are accurate and complete. They may make presentations to prospective investors about the merits of investing in the new company. Financial analysts also work in mergers and acquisitions departments, preparing analyses on the costs and benefits of a proposed merger or takeover.
Some financial analysts, called ratings analysts, evaluate the ability of companies or governments issuing bonds to repay their debt. Based on their evaluation, a management team assigns a rating to a company's or government's bonds. Other financial analysts perform budget, cost, and credit analysis as part of their responsibilities.
Personal financial advisors, also called financial planners or financial consultants, use their knowledge of investments, tax laws, insurance, and real estate to recommend financial options to individuals based on their short-term and long-term goals. Some of the issues they address are retirement planning, estate planning, tax issues, funding for college, and general investment options. While most planners offer advice on a wide range of topics, some specialize in areas such as estate planning or risk management.
An advisor's work begins with a consultation with the client, where the advisor obtains information on the client's finances and financial goals. The advisor then develops a comprehensive financial plan that identifies problem areas, makes recommendations for improvement, and selects appropriate investments based on their goals, attitude toward risk, and expectations or needs for a return on the investment. Often, this plan is written, but it can be in the form of verbal advice. Financial advisors usually meet with established clients at least once a year to update them on potential investments and determine if there have been any life changes—such as marriage, disability, or retirement—that might affect the clients' financial goals. Financial advisors also answer questions from clients regarding changes in benefit plans or consequences of a job change. Some advisors buy and sell financial products, such as mutual funds or insurance, or refer clients to other companies for products and services such as preparation of taxes or wills. A number of advisors take on the responsibility of managing the client's investments for them.
Finding clients and building a customer
base is one of the most important parts of a financial advisor's job. Many advisors
contact potential clients by giving seminars or lectures or meeting clients through
business and social contacts.
Financial analysts and personal financial advisors usually work indoors in safe, comfortable offices or their own homes. Many of these workers enjoy the challenge of helping firms or people make financial decisions. However, financial analysts may face long hours, frequent travel to visit companies and talk to potential investors, and deadline pressure. Much of their research must be done after office hours, because their day is filled with phone calls and meetings. Personal financial advisors usually work standard business hours, but they also schedule meetings with clients in the evenings or on weekends. Many teach evening classes or put on seminars in order to bring in more clients.
Financial analysts and personal financial advisors held 239,000 jobs in 2000; financial analysts accounted for about 6 in 10 of the total. Many financial analysts work at the headquarters of large financial companies, several of which are based in New York. One-fourth of financial analysts work for security and commodity brokers, exchanges, and investment services firms; and one-fifth work for depository and nondepository institutions, including banks, credit institutions, and mortgage bankers and brokers. The remainder primarily work for insurance carriers, computer and data processing services, and management and public relations firms.
one fourth of personal financial advisors are self-employed, operating small investment
advisory firms, usually located in urban areas. The majority of salaried advisors—nearly
6 in 10—work for security and commodity brokers, exchanges, and investment services
firms. About 1 in 7 personal financial advisors work for commercial banks, saving
institutions, and credit unions. A small number work for insurance carriers and
insurance agents, brokers, and services.
A college education is required for financial analysts and strongly preferred for personal financial advisors. Most companies require financial analysts to have at least a bachelor's degree in business administration, accounting, statistics, or finance. Coursework in statistics, economics, and business is required, and knowledge of accounting policies and procedures, corporate budgeting, and financial analysis methods is recommended. A master of business administration is desirable. Advanced courses in options pricing or bond valuation and knowledge of risk management are also suggested.
Employers usually do not require a specific field of study for personal financial advisors, but a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, business, mathematics, or law provides good preparation for the occupation. Courses in investments, taxes, estate planning, and risk management also are helpful. Programs in financial planning are becoming more widely available in colleges and universities. However, many financial planners enter the field after working in a related occupation, such as securities and financial services sales representative, insurance agent, accountant, or lawyer.
Mathematical, computer, analytical, and problem-solving skills are all essential qualifications for financial analysts and personal financial advisors. Good communication skills also are necessary because these workers must present complex financial concepts and strategies in easy-to-understand language to clients and other professionals. Self-confidence, maturity, and the ability to work independently are important as well.
Financial analysts must be detail-oriented, motivated to seek out obscure information, and familiar with the workings of the economy, tax laws, and money markets. For financial advisors, strong interpersonal skills and sales ability are crucial to success.
Certification, although not required for financial analysts or personal financial advisors to practice, can enhance professional standing and is strongly recommended by many financial companies. Financial analysts may receive the title Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), sponsored by the Association of Investment Management and Research. To qualify for CFA designation, applicants must have a bachelor's degree, 3 years of work experience in a related field, and pass a series of three examinations. The essay exams, administered once a year for 3 years, cover subjects such as accounting, economics, securities analysis, asset valuation, and portfolio management.
Personal financial advisors may obtain a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation. Both designations demonstrate to potential customers that a planner has extensive training and competency in the area of financial planning. The CFP designation, issued by the CFP Board of Standards, requires relevant experience, completion of education requirements, passage of a comprehensive examination, and adherence to an enforceable code of ethics. The ChFC designation, issued by the American College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, requires experience and completion of an eight-course study program. Both programs have a continuing education requirement.
A license is not required to work as a personal financial advisor, but advisors who sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, insurance, or real estate, may need licenses to perform these additional services. Also, if legal advice is provided, a license to practice law may be required. Financial advisors that do not provide these additional services often refer clients to those qualified to provide them.
Financial analysts may advance by becoming portfolio managers
or financial managers, directing the investment policies of their companies or
those of clients. Personal financial advisors who work in firms also may move
into managerial positions, but most advisors advance by accumulating clients and
managing more assets.
Increased investment by businesses and individuals is expected to result in faster-than-average employment growth of financial analysts and personal financial advisors through 2010. Both occupations will benefit as baby boomers save for retirement and a generally better educated and wealthier population requires investment advice. In addition, people are living longer and must plan to finance more years of retirement. The rapid expansion of self-directed retirement plans, such as the 401(k) plans, is expected to continue. Most of the money in these plans is invested in mutual funds. As the number of mutual funds and the amount of assets invested in the funds increases, mutual fund companies will need increased numbers of financial analysts to recommend which financial products the funds should buy or sell. Growth in retirement plans will also increase demand for personal financial advisors to provide advice on how to invest this money.
Deregulation of the financial services industry is also expected to spur demand for financial analysts and personal financial advisors. Since 1999, banks, insurance companies, and brokerage firms have been allowed to broaden their financial services. Many firms are adding investment advice to their list of services and are expected to increase their hiring of personal financial advisors. Many banks are now entering the securities brokerage and investment banking fields and will increasingly need the skills of financial analysts in these areas.
The globalization of the securities markets as well
as the increased complexity of many financial products also will increase the
need for analysts and advisors to help investors make financial choices. In addition,
business mergers and acquisitions seem likely to continue, requiring the services
of financial analysts. However, in the field of investment banking, the demand
for financial analysts may fluctuate because investment banking is sensitive to
changes in the stock market. And further consolidation in the financial services
industry may eliminate some financial analyst positions, somewhat dampening overall
employment growth. Competition is expected to be keen for these highly lucrative
positions, with many more applicants than jobs.
Median annual earnings of financial analysts were $52,420 in 2000. The middle half earned between $40,210 and $70,840. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $31,880, and the top 10 percent earned more than $101,760.
Median annual
earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of financial analysts
in 2000 were:
Median annual earnings of personal financial advisors were $55,320 in 2000. The middle half earned between $34,420 and $96,360. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,110, and the top 10 percent earned more than $145,600.
Median annual
earnings in the industries employing the largest number of personal financial
advisors in 2000 were:
Many financial analysts receive a bonus in addition to their salary, which can add substantially to their earnings. The bonus is usually based on how well their predictions compare to the actual performance of a benchmark investment. Personal financial advisors who work for financial services firms are generally paid a salary plus bonus. Advisors who work for financial planning firms or who are self-employed either charge hourly fees for their services or charge one set fee for a comprehensive plan based on its complexity. Advisors who manage a client's assets usually charge a percentage of the assets under management. A majority of advisors receive commissions for financial products they sell in addition to a fee.
Other jobs requiring expertise in finance and investments or sales of financial products include accountants and auditors, financial managers, insurance sales agents, real estate agents, and securities, commodities and financial services sales representatives.

After more than two weeks on the lam, the man wanted for gunning down a Georgia police officer was caught Thursday in Canada
Jeffrey McGee, 32, of Schenectady, N.Y., was captured in Toronto, FBI spokesman Jay Spadafore said. He provided no further details of the arrest.
McGee is charged with murder in the death of Villa Rica Police Capt. Robbie Bishop, who was known for intercepting drug shipments on interstate highways.
Bishop, 35, was shot in the head Jan. 20 after stopping McGee on Interstate 20 in west Georgia. A copy of a warning ticket written to McGee was in Bishop's ticket book.
"We're all just happy" that McGee has been caught, said Robin Oehler, a secretary for the Villa Rica Police Department.
Bishop, an ex-Marine, hauled in a fortune in drug money and illegal drugs from drivers along Georgia interstates during a 12-year career. He also traveled to other states to teach his techniques to other police departments.
Authorities believe McGee boarded a flight to Los Angeles in Birmingham, Alabama, the day of the slaying. The plane made a stopover in Houston, but investigators said they were unsure where McGee was headed.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that McGee called his mother last week at her home in Schenectady.
"I asked him what happened, and he said, 'Ma, does it really make a difference what I got to say? They already got me convicted and hung,' or words to that effect," Vera McGee Lewis told the newspaper.
A reward of $55,000 had been posted for information leading to McGee's capture and conviction.

Teenagers are rebellious. Always have been and always will be. It takes more than the parents to bring up a child. It takes the community and we dont have communities these days do we? Also the teachers need more power to beat the little shits until they bleed real tears so children shake sitting in the corners of every school the length and breadth of the land cowering in fear at the wide eyed mouth foaming cane weilding adults hell bent on revenge and with a lust for blood which can only be quenched with a clenched fist planted in a quivering school boy face. Hmmmm............................either that or give em detention.

I used a guide I found on another site to add a secondary nav bar (the orange bar) above my content and it worked perfectly but now I can't seem to position it how I want. I just need it moved to the left above the header and probably everything brought up about 10px but I can't seem to find the right CSS script that will fix this without messing something else up. Probably the easiest fix ever but I'm very new to CSS so any help is appreciated! Thanks!

After promising "sweeping" reforms and vowing to change the culture of athletics at her school, University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman on Thursday officially reinstated football coach Gary Barnett.
Barnett had been on paid administrative since Feb. 18 as the school investigated a series of sexual assault claims against Colorado football players and recruits.
Hoffman said that while Barnett has shortcomings, "he is a tough disciplinarian, developer of behavioral guidelines and a man who believes a coach's job is to prepare men and women for their life ahead, not simply excel in athletics."
Hoffman also announced Athletic Director Richard Tharp would keep his job, although his authority would be curtailed.
Last week, an independent panel concluded in a 51-page report the school used sex and alcohol to lure recruits to campus but that no one in the administration "knowingly sanctioned" the practice.
Hoffman put Barnett on leave after the coach made critical public comments about former Colorado kicker Katie Hnida, who claimed she was raped by a Colorado football player.
Barnett said, among other things, that Hnida was a "terrible" player. He also said he would back a player accused of assaulting a 19-year-old athletic department employee if it came down to a "he-said, she-said" story.
"Did coach Barnett say things that I and others have found offensive?" Hoffman said at a news conference. "The answer is yes. And for that he has paid a price."
Hoffman said Barnett, Tharp and Chancellor Richard Byyny deserved the chance to help implement changes the school is unveiling.
"I find the suggestion that CU's athletic department and the people who oversee it, that they fostered a climate that condones rape and sexual abuse to be utterly contrary to the facts as I know them," Hoffman said.
Barnett could not be reached for comment.
He issued a statement through his public relations agency saying, in part, he was "grateful to the CU community, parents, players, students, fans and alumni for their loyalty and support during my administrative leave."
Barnett, hired as Colorado coach in 1999, said he looked forward to being a productive member of the CU community for years to come and that he is "dedicated to leading a socially responsible program that will be a source of pride to CU, athletically and academically."

Hi datafeedrcom,
I'm using the new version of your plugin and it works great, very robust. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to implement scrolling ads. Say I wanted 3 text ads at the bottom of posts with the ability to scroll through them. Similar to the flexslider found at primalblueprint.com, except I don't need the button navigation at the bottom or any fade in/fade out effects necessarily, just arrows which allow you to scroll through a group of ads. I'd love to be able to do this with your plugin.

Milan Lucic, who was suspended for one game for an illegal hit on the Flyers' Zac Rinaldo during Saturday's 6-0 Bruins win, said before Monday night's game against the Canadiens that he did everything he could to make the hit legal.
In pleading his case, Lucic said he told league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, "I did everything I could to try to hit his shoulder, to try to make the hit not from behind. As I said after the game, you could see his legs and body turning as he was going into the boards. I felt if I did hit him from behind, he would have gone in headfirst.
"But they didn't see it the same way I did."
While Lucic admitted he didn't agree with the suspension, he said "you have to respect the decision whether you agree with it or not."
He added that the timing was particularly unfortunate.
"It sucks to sit out a game for an incident like this," Lucic said, "especially when we're playing out rivals tonight -- Montreal."

Large enterprises have spent mountains of cash tracking how their complex, multitier applications perform while traversing the network. But unless you're managing end-user data at the packet level, you're not getting the full picture of how customers and employees are affected by performance degradations--and when it comes right down to it, all the high-level metrics in the world don't matter if end users are lighting up the help desk complaining of sluggish performance while customers abandon their shopping carts.
Technologies exist to monitor every aspect of traffic, from keystroke to database, and many of the 30 or so software vendors we talked to for this article believe end-user performance monitoring will be the next big wave in enterprise application management spending.
We're not so sure.
First, few organizations are ready for this shift. We've spent a fortune over the decades on infrastructure management systems that do little to capture the user experience. Moreover, end-user-centric management is harder than conventional infrastructure management. Vendors will try to contradict this, pitching appliances that can be set up in a snap. Don't be fooled: The real work comes in correlating and aggregating mountains of logs, as well as capturing and incorporating app-specific data that requires client- and server-side agents. And if SOA, mashups, and Web 2.0 figure prominently in your network, be aware that management vendors have been slow to adopt standards that use these technologies to correlate complex data streams.
Meanwhile, IT organizations face pressure to limit staff growth, even as the complexity of the architecture increases. One IT manager told us that he sees determining the cause of application problems as more art than science. In his organization, the help desk is the first indicator of a problem. Only after enough calls come in from irate users does troubleshooting begin. By then, there isn't time to coolly assess the impact or weigh this issue versus other problems already in the queue. IT is in firefighting mode.
Most user management and packet-capture technologies collect massive amounts of network data, all the better for troubleshooting. But because they typically don't have agents installed on user desktops or the app server, they provide only limited overall visibility into the cause of a slowdown.
Alternative approaches that use agents, however, also present problems. An agent may be the best way to capture the actual user experience, but that accuracy needs to be weighed against the higher cost and maintenance requirements of this approach. To help you decide which is the best route, here's a rundown of user-monitoring methods.

"Wildlife Oasis in Coast Range Foothills" Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge by glabah
Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 122 photos
Nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range, where the Willamette Valley starts to transition into hills and valleys, Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge preserves some very rare ecosystems. Perhaps the most important of those is the native Willamette Valley lupine upland savanna, which is exceptionally rare. It is a known home of the Fender's Blue Butterfly, which due to habitat destruction in the Willamette Valley is so rare that it was thought to be extinct between 1937 and 1989. This type of ecosystem is known to survive in only three places, and by far the largest of those places is here on Baskett Slough Refuge.
Scientific exploration into these butterflies is ongoing, and from time to time you will see teams from as far away as the University of Washington examining the ground near the summit of Baskett Butte.
However, if you wish to see the Fender's Butterflies they only are around during the month of May. See my Fender's Butterfly tip.
Other important habitats include upland oak savanna, and wet marshes for many different migrating birds, including the fairly rare dusky Canada geese.
The refuge includes several observation areas, inlcuding wide spots in the roads, plus a few hiking trails. By far the most well known is the Highway 22 Kiosk, as that observation area is visible from this busy road to the coast.
However, the vast majority of people who stop briefly at this observation deck do not realize that there is quite a bit more here than just this little wide spot in the road. The Baskett Butte Observation Platform trail and the Baskett Butte Loop Trail are open to the public all year and have great views of the coast range all the way to the Cascades and Mount Jefferson. Part of the Inter-tie Trail is now open all year as well.
The Morgan Lake Trail, the Cackler Marsh Trail, and the Moffitti Marsh Trail are only open to the public April 1st to September 30th. Part of the Inter-tie Trail is only open during this season as well.
The areas that are closed to the public during the winter months are to keep the migrating birds relatively free of disturbance. Be thankful for that, as once one Canada Goose gets upset, tens of thousands of them take to the sky all at the same time making a horrific noise and keeping anyone from seeing much of anything.
On an additional note: the trail from the Coville Road Trailhead to Baskett Butte is the 1,000th National Recreational Trail, and dedicated as a memorial to the former manager of Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, and who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
As with most of the wildlife refuges, what you see here will depend a great deal on how well you look, how noisy you are, what time of year it is, and the weather conditions. For example, if the water stays around in some of the marshes, then the water birds will stay around a bit longer. If you make a lot of noise, most of the wildlife will go into hiding. Make no mistake: they will be watching you to see what you are, but they will do so from a spot where you can't see them.
Birds in the forest at the top of Baskett Butte are irregular: sometimes there is a lot there, and sometimes there isn't much of anything.
- Pros:Lots of birds here in the winter months.
- Cons:only very small areas are open to the public all year (for understandable reasons)
- In a nutshell:Preserves a very vital part of the Willamette Valley

Would be nice to see Fedner's blue Butterfly
I used to love watching birds in Australia. I'm sure this is also a great spot!
To see thousands of geese up in the air must be a wonderful sight. Here we have a group? flock? of geese of about 25 birds, they like to stop here on their way further south.
