'Let's make a pact: when we're 30, if we're still single, then we'll get married!' Mabel, Liam and Aaron were born in the same small town, deep in the far south of Taiwan. They were children together in a kind of rural paradise, surrounded by magnolia and camphor trees. Even down in this tropical idyll, however, where it feels like nothing has changed for centuries, time marches on. In this final, hotbed year, new feelings arise, which alter the childhood bonds between them forever: Aaron loves Mabel, but Mabel only has eyes for Liam; who likes her, but not in the way as she expects; Liam has never admitted it to anyone, but who he's really in love with, is Aaron. While Liam remains impervious to all Mabel's displays of affection, Aaron steps up his pursuit until, eventually, Mabel gives in to his attentions.

(AP) The Oregon State Police arrest drunken drivers on the road every day. But it's not often when the drivers show up drunk at a state police office.
Troopers charged Ruby Ann Pederson, 42, of Newport with driving under the influence of intoxicants after she came to work to clean the state police office.
A trooper said she showed signs of being intoxicated after driving to the office with her 12-year-old son. A blood-alcohol test showed her level was 0.19 percent _ more than twice the legal limit.
She was also charged with recklessly endangering another person.

I want to be sure that for some URL of my website, SSL will be use. I saw a lot of answer already on SO.
So I think I will use mod_rewrite.
My question is more about how to configure the Virtual Host to run my Django Application over HTTP and over HTTPS without problems. I am using WSGI.
Is it a problem to just duplicate the configuration over *:443 and over *:80 ? How should I do to have the best configuration ?
Thank you.

Harry Weathersby Stamps
December 19, 1932 -- March 9, 2013
Long Beach
Harry Weathersby Stamps, ladies' man, foodie, natty dresser, and accomplished traveler, died on Saturday, March 9, 2013.
Harry was locally sourcing his food years before chefs in California starting using cilantro and arugula (both of which he hated). For his signature bacon and tomato sandwich, he procured 100% all white Bunny Bread from Georgia, Blue Plate mayonnaise from New Orleans, Sauer's black pepper from Virginia, home grown tomatoes from outside Oxford, and Tennessee's Benton bacon from his bacon-of-the-month subscription. As a point of pride, he purported to remember every meal he had eaten in his 80 years of life.
The women in his life were numerous. He particularly fancied smart women. He loved his mom Wilma Hartzog (deceased), who with the help of her sisters and cousins in New Hebron reared Harry after his father Walter's death when Harry was 12. He worshipped his older sister Lynn Stamps Garner (deceased), a character in her own right, and her daughter Lynda Lightsey of Hattiesburg. He married his main squeeze Ann Moore, a home economics teacher, almost 50 years ago, with whom they had two girls Amanda Lewis of Dallas, and Alison of Starkville. He taught them to fish, to select a quality hammer, to love nature, and to just be thankful. He took great pride in stocking their tool boxes. One of his regrets was not seeing his girl, Hillary Clinton, elected President.
He had a life-long love affair with deviled eggs, Lane cakes, boiled peanuts, Vienna [Vi-e-na] sausages on saltines, his homemade canned fig preserves, pork chops, turnip greens, and buttermilk served in martini glasses garnished with cornbread.
He excelled at growing camellias, rebuilding houses after hurricanes, rocking, eradicating mole crickets from his front yard, composting pine needles, living within his means, outsmarting squirrels, never losing a game of competitive sickness, and reading any history book he could get his hands on. He loved to use his oversized "old man" remote control, which thankfully survived Hurricane Katrina, to flip between watching The Barefoot Contessa and anything on The History Channel. He took extreme pride in his two grandchildren Harper Lewis (8) and William Stamps Lewis (6) of Dallas for whom he would crow like a rooster on their phone calls. As a former government and sociology professor for Gulf Coast Community College, Harry was thoroughly interested in politics and religion and enjoyed watching politicians act like preachers and preachers act like politicians. He was fond of saying a phrase he coined "I am not running for political office or trying to get married" when he was "speaking the truth." He also took pride in his service during the
Korean conflict
, serving the rank of corporal--just like Napolean, as he would say.
Harry took fashion cues from no one. His signature every day look was all his: a plain pocketed T-shirt designed by the fashion house Fruit of the Loom, his black-label elastic waist shorts worn above the navel and sold exclusively at the Sam's on Highway 49, and a pair of old school Wallabees (who can even remember where he got those?) that were always paired with a grass-stained MSU baseball cap.
Harry traveled extensively. He only stayed in the finest quality AAA-rated campgrounds, his favorite being Indian Creek outside Cherokee, North Carolina. He always spent the extra money to upgrade to a creek view for his tent. Many years later he purchased a used pop-up camper for his family to travel in style, which spoiled his daughters for life.
He despised phonies, his 1969 Volvo (which he also loved), know-it-all Yankees, Southerners who used the words "veranda" and "porte cochere" to put on airs, eating grape leaves, Law and Order (all franchises), cats, and Martha Stewart. In reverse order. He particularly hated Day Light Saving Time, which he referred to as The Devil's Time. It is not lost on his family that he died the very day that he would have had to spring his clock forward. This can only be viewed as his final protest.
Because of his irrational fear that his family would throw him a golf-themed funeral despite his hatred for the sport, his family will hold a private, family only service free of any type of "theme." Visitation will be held at Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home, 15th Street, Gulfport on Monday, March 11, 2013 from 6-8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (Jeff Davis Campus) for their library. Harry retired as Dean there and was very proud of his friends and the faculty. He taught thousands and thousands of Mississippians during his life. The family would also like to thank the Gulfport Railroad Center dialysis staff who took great care of him and his caretaker Jameka Stribling.
Finally, the family asks that in honor of Harry that you write your Congressman and ask for the repeal of Day Light Saving Time. Harry wanted everyone to get back on the Lord's Time.

Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk, Fourth Edition, by Brent B. Welch, Ken Jones and Jeffrey Hobbs
Tcl and Tk are scripting languages that have been around for more than a dozen years. This book's primary author, Brent B. Welch, was a student of Tcl's creator, John Ousterhout, and has worked with Tcl since its invention.
I've used Tcl almost since its inception, but I never really learned the Tcl/Tk hybrid. I read Ousterhout's Tcl and the Tk Toolkit about five years after it was published, and I found the information difficult to apply to current programs, because Tcl/Tk has changed over the years. This book is far more timely.
Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk, 4th Edition, is an impressive volume, at almost 900 pages. Both the table of contents and index are thorough, and the volume is extensively cross-referenced. Presenting so much material is difficult, but the cross-referencing allows a number of topics to be put on the back burner when they haven't been discussed. Furthermore, backward references are useful for providing a refresher on old topics.
One of the outstanding points is that this book spells out in which versions newer features were introduced. These tidbits are sprinkled throughout the text.
The book is hands-on, and you should try the examples as you're reading the text. All the listings are on the accompanying CD-ROM, along with distributions of Tcl, a number of extensions and a mirror of the wonderful Tcl Wiki as of April 2003. The CD-ROM is useful if you don't have a fast Internet connection. But what the book calls examples often are mere Tcl snippets. I would far prefer fewer, longer examples that could execute as complete programs.
The primary author is receptive to feedback and keeps an up-to-date set of errata on his Web site, which you should check. I'm anxious to apply what I've learned to modify a number of Tcl programs I use and to read other books on Tcl. I heartily recommend this book if you want to learn Tcl.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Timbuktu's manuscripts face new threatBreaking News
tags: CNN, Africa, Mali, Timbuktu, manuscripts
(CNN) -- For the second time in five months, Timbuktu's treasured collection of ancient manuscripts is under threat.
Earlier this year, it was thought that most of the 300,000 precious documents were destroyed by Islamic fundamentalists when the northern Mali conflict entered the fabled city.
But as it turns out, only 4,000 documents were burned by the rebels. The rest were smuggled out of Timbuktu six months before the incursion by a team of local families who have long safeguarded their city's famous library, often in their own homes....

This is a great bag for 40$.Im guessing the boxes are the size of Plano 3700's.The bag can fit 6-7 boxes.Was able to unload my two guide series tackle boxes into this bag and still have room to add more. Lot's of pockets for gear. This is a great bag for tournaments or long fishing trips.
just bought this bag and i love it. i have been looking for a soft tackle box for about a month now and this is the best i have seen no matter the price point, i am a boat fisherman and the size and weight did not matter to me. i have room for all my tackle and then some. the plano 3700 boxes fit great and i have 8 of them in the bottom. also have a few 3500 boxes out of my old guide box. im very picky when it comes to my bass fishing and this bag works for me
This is going to be my new boat bag for blackfish/stripers. The main compartment has room for my size 2x skins,size 13 boots, size 3x neoprene jacket, 2 Plano 3700 boxes,2 backup reels, a change of clothes and lunch. On the outside there are plenty of pockets to hold all of your other gear like spools of leader,hooks,jigs etc... There are 2 holders for pliers or scissors and there's even a case for your glasses. It's an excellent low cost bag with lots of room. The bag is a lot bigger than I thought it would be but it ended up being the perfect bag for me.
I got this tackle bag on sale and I love it. It accommodates all my 3700 size tackle boxes(can fit 8) and then some. I could fit all my terminal tackle, pliers, etc. I was able to fit smaller tackle boxes for terminal tackle on the front and side pockets. Plenty of pockets and durable zippers. I strongly recommend it for someone that keeps it on the boat. It's a little heavy for shore fishing if you carry everything with you.
This is a great tackle bag for anyone looking at organizing your gear. Not only does this bag store a lot of gear, but the cost is about half of some competitors. I am very impressed. I was able to store all my salmon boxes into one bag and it's ready to hit the river. I highly recommend this product.
Great tackle bag, quality and features as good as much higher priced bags, plenty of room for all your tackle and more. Great internet price, arrived quicker than expected.
nice large tackle bag, no need to carry several because this one will handle it all. it is built well, much better than my old bag
Didn't used it yet, but looks great, perfect for my next fishing trip. Looked everywhere, happy to find this here, at a great price, I highly recommend it.
This is a great bag strong with lots of storage for under $40.

Poor quality and disappointing
Difficult to find car park, down rough side street.
Reception areas very tired, stained carpets, dirty walls. Car parking on a first come basis NOT made clear when booking. Staff polite but ineffective. Room tired, no bath mats, dripping tap, stained walls and carpets. Paintwork chipped. reminded me of poor quality student housing. Fridge and microwave dirty, would not put clothes in wardrobe again- too dirty. Bed comfortable and clean. Windows filthy. Convenient for town centre but little else to recommend, Overall experience VERY disappointing, would never stay again and advise others to look elsewhere.

A bit run down, but adequate
The entrance is fairly shabby and the room itself a bit run down; the en suite was clean though, as was the bedding.
This was a very late booking and was the cheapest room available in the area; even so, it was quite pricey for what it was. The mattress was a bit too soft (for me) and there was a strong smell of room freshener (a plug in one) that I had to take out to be able to breathe. The reception was friendly and helpful and there was free wifi.

text: Posted November 17, 2013 Ok, I think this is probably the best Assassin's Creed there is now; Ezio is still my favorite character though. You go underwater, sail on the sea, and fight on land. There's also many things to do in this game. I don't think I've played a game this long and still not have gotten 100% yet and still not finished the story line yet. The outfits for Edward are great as well. The Mayan outfit, Edward the Legend outfit, and Drake outfit are all bad ass. And the stock black and red outfit is awesome too. There's also great customizations for your ship as well. And you also have the option to play as the female assassin in New Orleans. There's also going to be a DLC soon where you play as the assassin Adawale (spelling?). Overall, great game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time-Quantized Frequency Modulation, Time-Domain Dither, Dispersive Codes, and Parametrically Controlled Noise Shaping in SDM
Time-domain quantization (TDQ) and noise shaping applied to linear frequency modulation (LFM) offers an alternative although unconventional means of generating uniformly sampled 1-bit code with characteristics similar to that generated by feedback sigma-delta modulation (SDM). Fundamental insight into the SDM process emerges by exploiting the relationship between uniform quantization and phase modulation. Linearity and output noise spectra are benchmarked against linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) and error spectra derived by comparing 1-bit SDM against an identical feedback loop but without quantization. Sony FF class SDM is discussed and an example is shown to achieve almost noiseless performance from 0 Hz to 30 kHz by incorporating parametrically determined noise shaping stabilized by step-back in time closed-loop control.

in an experiment, the purpose of which is to determine theresistance of an rtd in a bridge.
given supply voltage=1.5V, R1=R2=1KΩ, Rt=Rb=109.7Ω at balance pt,
Rt= resistance of rtd, Rb= variable resistor.
Assuming the temperature coefficient of the RTDto be 0.004/0C and thatits resistance at 0 0Cis 100 Ω, determine the dissipation constant inmW/0C.
the experiment was carried out at roomtemp.
please help.........What equation do i use tocalculate the dissipation constant?????
i thnk u should use the value of currentthrough the RTD. i've got it 6.84mA. then dunno how toproceed.
i will be very greatful if u could reply. Ineed to submit this on Tuesday........Thnx

Big Head Coasters
by Carol T Chung
on 20 July 2005
j-me was founded by 2 brothers, Mark and Jamie who created these Big Head Coasters. They're stackable either laying down or standing up. A pack contains 4 coasters, 2 boys and 2 girls. I can't think of a more pleasant way to wake up than to pin one of those big headed boys or girls with my cup of tea. Serves them right for having such a huge head.

I've never seen an ad like this afore:
How long did it take to create, one wonders? About two seconds?
No matter, I'm sure SFGov is starting to think of the bluewolf as a good corporate citizen now…
I've never seen an ad like this afore:
How long did it take to create, one wonders? About two seconds?
No matter, I'm sure SFGov is starting to think of the bluewolf as a good corporate citizen now…
Here's a typical tweet about yesterday's L'Affaire du Bluewolf:
"Why not tell
@ericberridge what you think of his blithe, scofflaw attitude in smearing his graffiti all over SF? http://bit.ly/1gnJsxS "
And here's the write-up by Joe Garofoli: "Tech company defies San Francisco graffiti ban at Dreamforce."
Now let's hear from the people at CivitasNow, the company what promised to clean up the sidewalks of SoMA and the Financh yesterday afternoon:
Brandon Sinram
@bsinram 14 hours ago We're making headlines from coast to coast @CivitasNow http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2015/09/14/tech-company-defies-city-ban-against-putting-logo-on-sidewalks/ …,
You see that? They think this whole sitch is funny.
I think I see the problem here, I think the CivitasNow people are thinking they might get a ticket for two or three or four or five figures, but, IRL, what they might end up with is a settlement for six or seven figures if they continue to embarrass / piss off / mock area residents, such as a Mayor, or a City Attorney, or even a Benioff or two.
Hey CivitasNow, hey Bluewolf, do you think there might be a reason why some DreamForcers covered up some of your numerous chalk ads?
Perhaps you all have reached Pariah status, but you don't even know it?
[UPDATE 2: Tech company defies city ban against putting logo on sidewalks]
[UPDATE: This webpage ("Dreamforce Swag") was just pulled by "Bluewolf." Here's what it used to look like:
So that takes care of that.
So, no you didn't have permits, right, Bluewolf people? Or if you do, then share the info – it sure would interesting to see that. Thank you, drive through. END OF UPDATES]
Via KatieOnViolin, you can't do this:
Oh, what's that, it's only temporary? Well, that's what they all say.
And there's this:
"Citizens can obtain permits for sidewalk stencils, but there is no legal means for a company to advertise using sidewalk stencils, Gordon said. Still, many companies throughout the years have created guerrilla marketing campaigns on city sidewalks, including Zynga and IBM."
What you bluewolfers ought to do, you know, wikiwiki, is come on downstairs, buy some brushes at a CVS, and then start scrubbing…
We've been through this kind of thing before. If City Attorney Dennis Herrera discovers this, then whoo boy, there's going to be trouble for somebody.
As captured by BloomReports today:
A couple years back I passed by this scene on Market, so then I contacted the Uber people by email on my cell…
…and I was all, "Can you do that? I don't think you can do that."
Why? Because it's a chalk ad on a Frisco sidewalk and that aint kosher. I mean, I didn't know for sure, maybe somebody had approved this and the Uber people had permits, who knows. I was simply "issue-spotting," as they say.
So then, a half-hour later, the Uberers had these ads hastily obliterated, more or less, as best they could.
And that was that, back in 2013.
And now comes Lyft in 2015 with hopsc0tch chalk on the Streets of San Francisco:
Except that SFGov is now lowering the boom on Lyft.
(And there might be some shakedown to take money from Lyft to give it to those ugly "SF Beautiful," people, who are now infamous for suing the City and County of San Francisco? That sounds wrong.)
Anyway, Uber beats Lyft, once again.
Here's why I'm not an employee of the Uber:
Cause like every day I'd be saying, "Can we do that? I don't think we can do that. Can we say that? I don't think we can say that."
I'd be a big Captain Bringdown / Jiminy Cricket.
Like here, a couple years back, on Market. I passed by this scene and so then I contacted the Uber people by email on my cell…
…and I was all, "Can you do that? I don't think you can do that."
Why? Because it's a chalk ad on a Frisco sidewalk and that aint kosher.
I mean, I didn't know for sure, maybe somebody had approved this and the Uber people had permits, who knows. I was simply "issue-spotting," as they say.
So then, a half-hour later, the Uberers had these ads hastily obliterated, more or less, as best they could.
Ah, memories…
Well, here it is.
The problem with this Hoodline headline is that Dude wasn't "found innocent." IRL, the jury ruled that he is not guilty.
In other words:
"Juries never find defendants innocent. They cannot. Not only is it not their job, it is not within their power. They can only find them 'not guilty.'"
Am I being too picky here?
Like this:
All right, it's on, the defense of Prop B (2014) is on:
SAN FRANCISCO (July 15, 2014) — The California State Lands Commission today sued San Francisco to invalidate Proposition B, an initiative measure passed in the June 3 election that requires voter approval for waterfront development height increases on property owned or controlled by the Port of San Francisco. The legal challenge filed in San Francisco Superior Court contends that the California legislature specifically intended to prohibit local voters from exercising authority over bay and coastal public trust lands, strictly limiting management of state tidelands to designated trustees. In its legal action today, the State Lands Commission argues that the sole trustee responsible for sovereign tidelands in San Francisco is the city's Port Commission. The State Lands Commission is additionally seeking a preliminary injunction to bar San Francisco from enforcing Prop B.
In response, City Attorney Dennis Herrera issued the following statement:
"For decades, land use decisions involving San Francisco's waterfront have included voters, elected leaders and appointed members of our Planning and Port Commissions. It's a participatory process that enacted a comprehensive Waterfront Land Use Plan in 1990, developed a showplace ballpark for the Giants, and continues to protect an urban waterfront that is the envy of cities worldwide. San Francisco's deliberative decision-making process on waterfront land use has never been successfully challenged, and I intend to defend it aggressively. With today's lawsuit, the State Lands Commission seems to have embraced the notion that any local initiative — and, by extension, any land use regulation approved by a Board of Supervisors or Planning Commission — affecting port property is barred by state law, and therefore invalid. That view represents a radical departure in law and practice from land use decision-making in San Francisco and elsewhere. While the City must certainly honor its obligations as trustee in managing public trust property, it is a legally and practically untenable position to argue that San Francisco's voters and elected officials have no direct say over how our city's waterfront is developed."

BRYAN -- The Brazos Valley Bombers are in hot pursuit of slugger and future Hall of Fame outfielder Manny Ramirez. Ramirez, who led the Los Angeles Dodgers to the National League Playoffs last season, would bring the team credentials and power never before witnessed in Texas Collegiate League play.
The Bombers contacted the offices of Scott Boras, Ramirez's agent, this afternoon regarding the services of the two-time World Series Champion. They have been investigating the eligibility of Ramirez, who did not play college baseball. Bombers owner Uri Geva was stoked by the possibility of Ramirez joining the team saying, "Ramirez should be a fantastic addition to an already talented team that is poised to win its first TCL Championship."
Ramirez needs no introduction, having hit over 500 home runs, been selected to 12 All-Star games, and won a batting title during his illustrious 16 year career with the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Bombers Head Coach Brent Alumbaugh also expressed his excitement about the possibility of signing Ramirez, saying "Ramirez would provide the Bombers with an experienced, consistent clean-up hitter that would strike fear in the hearts of our opponents." Skeptics fear he may be "too old" or "washed up" to handle the young Texas Collegiate League pitchers, but the Bombers believe Ramirez, who hit 37 home runs, including a .396 batting average with the Dodgers last season, will be able to maintain his dominance at the plate.
Although the Bombers cannot offer Ramirez a salary, as TCL players are unpaid, the team feels that opportunity to live with a host family, as well as attend picnics and barbecues, would be an attractive option for Ramirez as he mulls over his options this offseason.
The Bombers are members of the Texas Collegiate League, one of the nation's premier summer collegiate circuits. Teams like the Bombers bring minor league baseball-style entertainment to communities throughout the country, giving some of the best college players a chance to further their careers in wood bat leagues in front of Major League scouts. The Bombers 48-game season begins on June 5 and runs through August 8, followed by the TCL playoffs and a championship series. Season tickets for the 2009 season are now on sale. More information is available by calling the Bombers ticket office at (979) 779-PLAY, visiting the Bombers office in Bryan, or logging on to the Bombers' official web site at www.bvbombers.com.

With 949 horsepower on tap, it would be hard to imagine Ferrari getting much more juice out of the 6.3-liter V12 hybrid powering its LaFerrari. But apparently, it's possible, as reports suggest that the forthcoming LaFerrari XX will pack somewhere closer to 1,050 hp.
50LaFerrari XX prototype pushed so hard that its suspension fails
- Noah Joseph
- Jul 13, 2014
- 50
Ferrari has a real challenge on its hands. It made the new LaFerrari hybrid hypercar so extreme already that it left little room to crank it up to 11 and turn it into an XX development prototype like it did with the Enzo and the 599 before it. So it's really going to have to push the envelop to take it that extra step.
17Ferrari LaFerrari XX confirmed, seen lapping the 'Ring?
- Noah Joseph
- Apr 17, 2014
- 17
Ferrari makes road cars and they make race cars, but the automaker found a middle ground somewhere in between when it launched the FXX in 2005. Homologated neither for race or street, the FXX emerged as Maranello's first customer development prototype, "allowing" well-heeled clients to test new components for the factory from behind the wheel of one of the most extreme performance machines Ferrari had ever made.

Posted on 12/31/2003 3:05:52 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe
Discussing the Iraq war with the Washington Post last week, former General Anthony Zinni took the path chosen by so many anti-Semites: he blamed it on the Jews.
Neither President Bush nor Vice-President Cheneynor for that matter Zinnis old friend, Secretary of State Colin Powellwas to blame. It was the Jews. They captured both Bush and Cheney, and Powell was merely being a good soldier.
Technically, the former head of the Central Command in the Middle East didnt say Jews. He instead used a term that has become a new favorite for anti-Semites: neoconservatives. As the name implies, neoconservative was originally meant to denote someone who is a newcomer to the right. In the 90s, many people self-identified themselves as neocons, but today that term has become synonymous with Jews.
And if anybody should know better, its Gen. Zinni. It is well-known that those who are labeled neocons within the administrationwhether the number-two official at the Pentagon, Paul Wolfowitz, or undersecretary of Defense Doug Feithare almost always Jews.
Sadly typical is a Business Week article this May that identified Wolfowitz, Feith, Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle, former Reagan administration official Ken Adelman and Weekly Standard editor William Kristolall Jewsas neocons, yet Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeldneither one Jewishas simply key allies. Policy beliefs and worldviews were not different between these two groups; only religion distinguishes them.
Given that the neocons do not control the Departments of State or Defense nor the National Security Councilgentiles all head those agenciesand given that the White House is clearly run by non-Jews, how is it that Zinni claims that the neocons were responsible for the U.S. liberating Iraq? As he explains to the Post, Somehow, the neocons captured the president. They captured the vice president.
And the Post piece uses dramatic language when discussing Zinnis views on the neocons:
The more he listened to Wolfowitz and other administration officials talk about Iraq, the more Zinni became convinced that interventionist neoconservative ideologues were plunging the nation into a war in a part of the world they didnt understand.
Zinnis comments are eerily similar to those made by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad at the Organization of the Islamic Conference summit this October. In a speech that drew a standing ovation from the leaders of Muslim nations in attendance, Mahathir remarked, Today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.
Since Jews make up roughly 2% of the American population and less than a fraction of one percent of the worldsyet attract disproportionately more of the worlds bigoted venomthe only way to perpetuate the hatred of Jews that has existed for centuries is to blame them for controlling vital industries, ruling the world by proxy, or by capturing the leader of the free world and his likewise freely elected vice-president.
Lets suppose for a moment that Zinni, who could not be reached for comment, had no idea that neocon has become code for Jew. At best, his statements were simply ludicrous. Both Cheney and Bush had full knowledge of the unabated evil of Saddam Husseinthe former even having helped lead the Gulf War as the Secretary of Defenseand neither needed to be captured by anyone to understand the need to rid the world of Saddams tyranny.
But now lets suppose Zinni has at least minimal common sense and at least passively follows Washington politics. In that instance, Zinnis comments are not much different than Mahathirsand just as inaccurate. As anyone with even a passing knowledge of the administration can tell you, the president and the vice-president were probably the two biggest advocates for liberating Iraq. Even at the staff level, the majority of the leading hawks were gentiles such as National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice and White House chief of staff Andrew Card.
Its a shame that someone who so honorably served his nation for three decades would tarnish his legacy with such idiotic remarks. If he didnt mean to use neocon as a code word for Jew, he should say so. But if he meant to, then he should just shut up.
What makes people think that just because they don't understand something it means that no one else does either?
It's just too easy throughout history to blame the Jooz.
Pre frontal lobe for sure.
What bothers me about this is that it's as if they're trying to make neoconservatives a protected class that can't be talked about negatively. If you oppose neoconservative policy, you're a closet racist? C'mon, save the race card for the people without arguments.
If you only mention Jews by name, as Zinni did, and Buchanan often does, what is one to think?
There are LOTS of "neoconservatives" who aren't Jews, yet it is always Perle and Wolfowitz who are mentioned by the critics.
Get creative, or risk the accusation.
Not only is such an assertion factually incorrect, it's racist as hell.
I guess that's what Zinni might say, leaving out the word scumbag. I'm not saying that Dog Gone is anything like Zinni, or that he is wrong, just that Zinni might say that.
In my opinion, the heart of Zinni's remarks is as follows: Zinni thinks that the United States is run by these idiots, Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, who are controlled by a small cabal of smarter people. Now, if Zinni wasn't thinking Jew, then it would not have been anti-semetic. However, it still would have come out of the same kind of paranoid socialism-of-fools thinking.
What about what Dog Gone says about the Jews? That's just plain true. Why is speculation; hopefully it is on the road to ending, but I have my doubts.
But Perle and Wolfowitz are in positions of power and are the ones crafting and implementing (neoconservative) policy. Of course they're getting mentioned by name. Until this article I honestly had no clue Kristol was Jewish (is he actually?). But he's definitely in the fore of our political culture, and I'd like to think I can disagree with his neoconservative policy views concerning American hegemony (Pax Americana, whatever you want to call it) without being called a racist. That's the kind of distraction the Left engages in, when you critize someone like Jesse Jackson or Julian Bond for the policies they advocate and get called a racist. It lets the accuser dodge responding to the policy arguments and instead divert focus to ad-hominem attacks on the opponent.
Perle is not in the administration in any position.
Look, you are free to criticize neocons. But when people go out of their way to mention certain neocons by name, and they are all Jews, you can be pretty sure what underlies some of the criticism.
If Joel Mowbray isn't a neoconservative, nobody is. Why can't he defend himself? If you stay away from nastiness and insults, you can say whatever you want, and, as Zinni shows, you can probably even get away with insults and nastiness when you keep it a bit ambiguous.
I try to be precise, I said, "But Perle and Wolfowitz are in positions of power and are the ones crafting and implementing (neoconservative) policy." Richard Perle is the chairman of the Defense Policy Board, an advisory panel to the Pentagon made up of leading figures in national security and defense, at least according to the info available to me. I consider that a position of power, and one crafting policy. Certainly more so than any of us posting here on FR.
Ambassador to Palestine,maybe? I wish I understood this.It makes me think Zinni had some juicy notes in his FBI files.
There is nothing in the least racist about this comment. However, it doesn't seem all that pro-American either. The US is the most powerful country in the world, and as most powerful nations go historically, we are the least colonialist. The US wants nothing better than to turn over Iraq to the Iraqi people, so long as they don't bring back the terrorist training camps complete with 707 (and I haven't heard there's any controversy over that one).
But wait a second. For whatever reason (I don't know how that label evolved) the people who advocate the policy of aggressive military action with the goal of instituting Pax Americana are called neocons. If you disgree with that policy, and name it's implementers and adherents, you shouldn't be called a racist just because some of them are Jewish. I see this as neocons playing the 'race' card to chill dissent, and that bothers me as much as if anyone else was doing it.
I think your closer then you think. I expect his name to pop up big time after the dems have there nominee. The lefty's are starting to drool over the possibility of having a Dean/Zinni ticket (now that Clark has killed any chance it could be him as VP, someone has got to teach that boy politics).
Zinni as a Dean running mate, could do some damage. (though he was a republican, did vote for Bush, yada yada yada, now regrets it, etc).
I'm old enough to have heard the phrases "chill dissent" and "pax Americana" though five decades. And they have just about always been phrases of the left. Gunslingr3 sounds like he is a foreign policy leftist. That's not an insult, and I'll also mention that Gunslingr3 may also be a good conservative on domestic policy. However, I would just point out that favoring a strong and assertive America has been solid conservativism in the US since before Goldwater, and certainly since then.
My God, that is a brilliant assessment and I think quite accurate. Let's hope the opposition research guys are watching this closely.
Not as bad as the sailors on the USS Cole.
Read George Washington's Farewell Address. Read John Quincy Adams' 'Monsters to Destroy' speech. They encapsulate my foreign policy views. If that's 'leftist', well, whatever...
My guess is that they already are looking at Zinni with renewed vigor
Maybe his service was not as honorably as the author would hope.
Gen Zinni is one of the finest general officers I have known or served under.
I would follow him in combat any day
I would also trust him to make the operational decisions in any war.
Strategic decisions are the relam of the NSC and ultimately, the president.
Had Zinni been CINCCENT he would have probably advised against the campaign (Al-La Yamamoto at Pearl Harbor) and then taken his orders and prosecuted it brilliantly
As it was we were micromanaged by OSD to the point of distraction
We've come as far as we have IN SPITE of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and all the OSD crowd. Not because of them.
I disagree with Zinni on his position about the strategic timing of the war
But I know his position is well considered and thoughtful. He's 40/60 against, I'm 60/40 for
Having reached Baghdad right behind the 3ID and spent a good deal of time in liberated Iraq, I can say that we did a good thing and most Iraqis appreciate it.
But we made a lot of mistakes in both the prosecution of the war and especially in the postwar stand up of OCPA and the reliance on contractors
All of which was OSD (Rumsfeld - Wolfowitz) driven.
If the military had been left in charge we'd be a lot farther along now
Worst micromanagement from OSD since McNamara
I was so happy when Bush got elected. Finally, I'd thought we'll get some adults in the pentagon instead of these dillitante amateurs
Instead I find all we did was trade cowardly dillitante amateurs for bellicose dillitante amateurs
I'll vote for Bush again, we've absolutely no choice, but I'll feel a whole lot better if he ditches his OSD crew
The people on this thread who say insulting things about Gen Zinni malign a good man.
All the best
We're in agreement here.Where I find Zinni deficient is the timing and the public bleating. Frankly,THAT choice leads me to conclude he is suffering from advanced Croweitis. Now,I'm glad to hear your confidence in the general.I agree, he'd do his job well enough. I disagree with Zinni on his position about the strategic timing of the war
This is the crux of my"trashing" of Zinni,and I'd say a good bit of those of us who served before, while and after he did.His timing and motivation are highly suspect. Thanks for the job you did.Were you around in the McNamera days? I was.
How can anyone complaining of their actions be accused of anti-semitism? Another question, after getting past the anti-semitism, does a "Jew" that does not believe zionism has been a success in establishing Israel and the resulting problems, is he anti-semitic? Phrases just get tossed around like trash in a dumpster with no thought given to the meaning. The neocons running under the banner of anti-semitism does not honor either side of the issues involved.
Having served under the man and gotten to know him I can honestly say he doesn't have a political bone in his body
I was amazed he took the Palestine job. Effort was doomed to failure before it began
A politically astute person would have known that
Serving at the pleasure of the President I guess he felt there wasn't much choice
A more politically savvy person would have begged out
No, I believe the man is just telling the truth as he sees it
To answer your question, during the MacNamara days all I could shoot was a BB gun
Studied it a lot though (Vietnam). Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz are actually worse for my money
The missed opportunities would make you weep
We're still winning though.
All the best
He is publicly trashing the President during time of war. That either makes him a Democrat like Clark or he is shilling for Arab client states who he favors in the ME. Otherwise he would shut up.
Exactly whose army do you serve in ?
What are you blaming Jews for this time ? What percent of the NY voting population do you think they are ? Are you calling for more towers to come down in NY to punish them ?
Without them Saddam Hussein would still rule Iraq and Zinni's favorite client states would be that much closer to WMDs.
In spite of Clark, Zinni, Scowcroft, and Clinton
He's trashing Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and as a participant in both OEF and OIF I can tell you they deserve it
It must be nice to be so certain about everything
Out of curiousity, how much time have you spent in the Middle East?
Just wondering

HPV/Genital Warts Health Center
Is There a Cure for HPV?
In this article
HPV Treatments for Tissue Changes
If the HPV infection has caused abnormal cell changes that could lead to cervical cancer, there are four main treatment options:
- Watch and wait. Sometimes the cell changes -- called cervical dysplasia, precancerous cell changes, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia -- will heal on their own.
- Cryotherapy. This involves freezing the abnormal cells with liquid nitrogen.
- Conization. This procedure, also known as a cone biopsy, removes the abnormal areas.
- Laser therapy uses light to burn away abnormal cells.
- Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). The abnormal cells are removed with an electrical current.
The goal is to remove all the abnormal cells and thus remove most or all of the cells with HPV.
HPV Treatments for Genital Warts
The genital warts associated with HPV infection can be raised or flat. They can be small or large. Colors vary, including pink or flesh-colored. Genital warts can appear on the cervix, scrotum, groin, thigh, anus, or penis.
Treating the warts aggressively immediately after they appear is discouraged. They could still be emerging. Repeat treatment would be needed later.
HPV types 6 and 11, those associated with genital warts, tend to grow for about six months, then stabilize. Sometimes, visible genital warts go away without treatment.
When treatment is indicated, patients can get a prescription cream from their doctor to apply at home. There are two options:
- Podofilox, or Condylox
- Imiquimod, or Aldara
A doctor can show you how to apply these treatments. Podofilox is used for about four weeks. It works by destroying the wart tissue. Research shows that about 45% to 90% of warts are cleared, but in 30% to 60% of cases, the warts can come back.
Imiquimod boosts the immune system so it fights off the virus. Clearance rates range from 70% to 85%, but in 5% to 20% of cases the warts come back.
In addition, a doctor can provide other types of wart-removal treatments. Among the options:
- Cryotherapy, the freezing off of the wart with liquid nitrogen
- Trichloracetic acid, a chemical applied to the surface of the wart
- Surgical removal, cutting the cells out with a scalpel
- Electrocautery, burning off warts using an electric current
- Laser vaporization or excision of the warts

By: marsHen , 12:02 PM GMT on January 15, 2012
06:30, 31F, clear and calm. frost. waning half moon over the farm house. rooster just woke up. dogs howling. oatmeal for breakfast. out to do chores, then off to church. reading the lessons.
when I was warming up the truck, both hawks were flying around the farm yard, calling to each other.
bald eagle crossed the road on the way into CK. robins still along the shoulders.
medium low tide, going out. very low tide leaving. sunny, 60's with a N breeze. eagle crossed the road in front of me again, heading towards the scrub. there's a nest back there in some big pines.
69F when I got back to the farm at noon. one of the red-shouldered hawks was sitting on the top bar of the swing set in the back yard. it sat there for about 20 minutes, looking all around. upset the rooster, who clucked the whole time.
16:00, 63F, slight breeze, sunny. got 2 eggs. found another dead coon back in the brushy part of the yard. suspect the guard dog - just doing her job. protecting the chickens, too.
19:30, 46F, clear. sky is amazing.. stars and planets everywhere and so bright! there's not any light interference around here so on clear nights you can see forever.

For much of 2011, Wisconsin has been a leading actor in politically tinged dramas about higher education. In February, the battle over collective bargaining rights of public employees erupted (it remains unresolved), with those who work in higher education among the affected.
There's probably not a very good time to announce that a college president is going to be making $100,000 more than the year before. The California State University System probably picked one of the worst.
As overall enrollments rise by 4.8 percent in 2008-9, private sector institutions grow by 21.5 percent. Other findings: colleges' operating margins shrink, number of students getting aid climbs.

A national news magazine lists the country's best high schools, and though no Mahoning Valley schools cracked the top 100, three earned silver medals — placing them in the top 10 percent in the country.
Lakeview High School is ranked as the area's top school at 1,640th in the U.S. and 91st in Ohio, says U.S. News and World Report.
Poland Seminary High School ranked 1,725th nationally and 96th in Ohio, and Columbiana High earned the 1,837th spot on the national list and 102nd in the state. The three schools earned silver medals. Columbiana also earned a silver medal on the 2009 list.
That's the Valley's best showing on the list, which was last published for 2009. At that time, only Columbiana High achieved silver.
Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati earned the state's top spot and ranked 90th on the national list.
"We're competing with some pretty good schools," said Lakeview Principal Richard Stevens. "It feels pretty good to have that high ranking. Our goal is to serve our students the best we can, and it appears we're doing an OK job, and this will give us the impetus to do even better."
The publication reviewed 22,000 public schools in 49 states and Washington, D.C., looking at how well high schools serve all students based on performance on state proficiency tests. Nebraska isn't included in the rankings. It also examined how well the schools prepare students for college-level work and took into account the number of economically disadvantaged students in the districts and students' participation in advanced placement courses.
Fourteen schools also earned bronze medals on the list, up from five the last time the list was published. Those schools are among the 4,877 highest scoring schools included in the review.
The bronze recipients are Bloomfield, Bristol, Canfield, Chalker (Southington), Crestview, Girard, Jackson-Milton, Lordstown, Lowellville, McDonald, South Range, West Branch, Western Reserve and Youngstown Early College.
Bloomfield, Girard, Leetonia, Struthers and YEC earned the bronze on the previous list.
Lakeview's Stevens said he's not surprised that the Valley's highest ranked school was 1,640th considering it's a national list and different states address school funding differently.
"I'd like to do better obviously," he said.
Still, the school is in the top 8 percent in the nation, according to the list, the principal pointed out.
"It's nice to be one of the best in the area, but again, it's going to drive us to do better," Stevens said. "With the state of Ohio changing from minimum competency test and transitioning to college and career readiness standards, at least we're heading in the right direction."
Poland Superintendent Robert Zorn is pleased with the ranking.
"I think that's exciting and good news," he said. "With all the levy fuss lately, I'm glad to hear some good news. I think everyone would have a right to be proud — faculty, parents, students — it takes everybody."
Zorn said he is surprised, however, that more schools from the area didn't rank higher on the list.
"But I'll take good news any day of the week," he said.
Don Mook, superintendent of Columbiana schools, agreed.
"In today's attack on public education, I can tell you that anything we can share with our public to let them know we're doing a good job and putting out a good product — and you get notification or verification from an outside group that's evaluating you — I would say it's a feather in our cap," he said. "I'm pretty pleased to see that. The top 10 percent in the nation speaks volumes."
Just like when a student scores proficient on a state test, the district wants that student to improve to an accelerated score, though there's always room for improvement, he said.
"I guess this would be no different," Mook said. "If we were a silver medal, we'd like to move up to a gold."
Poland wouldnt be so high up if they based it on a business. Way to go students.
Howland didn't even make the list.....So much for a "World Class Community" huh? We need some changes in this town! The school system is going down the crapper and the township thinks it's New York City. The politics are so thick, you can cut it with a knife. We need younger blood running this town.................It's a GOOD OLE' BOYS CLUB. Wake Up leaders of Howland! You AIN'T WHAT YOU USE TO BE. What are we getting for our TAX$$......NOTHING!
These survey are a joke !! They conveniently choose to not include parochial or other private schools.
Fact is they can't stand the reality that any comparison would show. Locally both Cardinal Mooney and Ursuline would blow away any and all local schools academically.
Well over 90% of their graduates attend college and every year the average amount of scholarship per student at both of these schools is significantly higher than their
public counterparts.
It is not surprising that many non-catholic families send their children to parochial schools......i.e. (the nephew of the President of the Youngstown's Board of Education attended a local parochial school). No parochial school has ever restricted admission based on religious grounds.
As a non-catholic parent of 3 children I chose to send my children to parochial school. All of my children where accepted to every college/university to which they applied and all 3 received full 4 year scholarships to highly ranked colleges with tuition's over 45,000 a year.
Perhaps public schools should quit beating their chests and learn how to compete in any real evaluation of how they would stack up academically to private schools.
Why doesn't the Vindicator do a real comparison of the quality between local public schools vs private school education. Oh wait, the Vindicator or local television channels wouldn't know how to do real investigative reporting and never has. Telling the truth of a situation has never been their strength. Let's just all put our heads in the sand and pretend nothing is less than it could be locally or we might offend our advertisers.
Maybe it is because the answer is already known......Public school education on average just doesn't compare.
The top 10% in the U.S. is the bottom 2% in China and Russia.
*Moves to next article*
Charter schools are public schools and so are probably included in the survey.
Parochial Schools and Private Prep Schools are two very different entities.
The purpose of Parochial Schools and Christian Schools is to create more and better members of their congregations. Apparently this mission is not being accomplished if judged by the number of non-Catholic students' conversions to Catholicism.
Academically, the Parochial schools could easily enter face to face competition with the public schools by simply taking the same state tests, which are open to them, but which they wisely ignore.
The students with vouchers must take the tests, and results are published deep in the webpages of the Ohio Department of Education.
So you can be forgiven for not knowing the dismal results. But here is an article the Vindicator did. Read the article and the comments for a balanced discussion.
Actually no, "Don't Ban This Drone".
China didn't even compete. Shanghai did, Hong Kong did. But not the whole country. If Massachusetts participated separately, they would have had the best scores.
All industrialized countries have similar scores. When pundits talk about the competition in international test scores, usually citing the PISA, and talking about shades of achievement among economic leaders.
For this test, a school gets a small list of randomly chosen students to be pulled to take the test...a test that has no consequences or reward for them.
There are 49,400,000 public school students in the U.S.
PISA tests a total of 470,000 students WORLDWIDE.
Scroll to the bottom of this link, and pay attention to the actual numerical scores.
Since the test is voluntary, a lot of countries do not participate. But the 3rd world countries who do, tend to score in the 300s. The difference between a 500 and 520 could be statistical error.
In short, politicians like to imagine a crisis. So do news media.
The U.S. has the best business people in the world, the best artists, and some of the best scientists and medical experts. How does that happen?
For those out there that are crying about Catholic schools not publishing there results and not being taken into consideration you need to look at the following link. It has ALL SCHOOLS .
For those that are still crying about Catholic Schools not publishing results, well here you have them, and I might add that they are pretty darn good.
You might want the short version JFK is the best Ursuline would be the runner up and Cardinal Mooney comes in third as far as Catholic Schools are concerned.
Education Voter now that you have the numbers before you, maybe you might want to revise your statements (and admit that you are a public teacher) about these schools performance and also about your anti-catholic bias.
"So you can be forgiven for not knowing the dismal results."
Please change your screen name to UNEducated_Voter to better reflect reality.
Have a nice day.
UNEducated Voter take a look at how YOUR students did at Chaney, did you even teach them a single thing at Volney or were you on a coffee break for nine months. And you have the nerve to talk trash about Catholic Schools. What color is the sky in your world.
Silence Dogood,
I am a parochial AND public school teacher.
It looks to me like Gerber LLC is using only the Ohio Graduation Test, which is more a test of what students know when they enter high school than where their skills are when they leave it. (Kids take it in 10th grade.) That's why the U.S. News and World Report survey is so interesting. They take multiple measures like college admissions, college tests, etc.
The OGT is a very general test, since it measures the skills of a student from K to 9th grade, it doesn't go into depth. The grade level tests from 3rd to 8th grades are more detailed, have more essay questions, and are a more specific measure of the schools' work. Those are the ones parochial schools don't take.
Chaney is closed, Silence. My students don't go there. They go to Austintown, McDonald, Ursuline, and Rayen Early College High School for the most part. If you don't know what happened to Chaney, you haven't been paying attention.
The PIRS also did a study on private vs. public schools. Their results make sense. Private schools perform better IF you don't look at student demographics. Schools like St. Xavier, Western Reserve Academy enroll many affluent students with professional parents and wide experience. So PIRS looked at the students with the same backgrounds as those in public schools. When adjusted for income, the public schools performed better.
You can find the parochial school scores on the ODE website if you search it hard enough. The Vindicator was being kind. Kids who stayed in the public schools outperformed students in parochial schools in every county in Ohio.
Also, remember, you and I are comparing local parochial schools to the most troubled system: Youngstown. What if we compared them to the schools in the U.S. News and World Report, or to Canfield or even Struthers?
As for my own decision to work in Youngstown: if everyone avoids the difficult positions, how could things get better?
PISA report on public and private school results on their tests:
Ohio Department of Education
Test results for voucher students
Note: You must click on the link for the year you want to see. The link is not in blue, but is underlined. If you are persistant, you can scroll down to county by county results.
Boy you sure know how to tee up a ball for someone to whack.
"It looks to me like Gerber LLC is using only the Ohio Graduation Test, which is more a test of what students know when they enter high school than where their skills are when they leave it. "
For the overwhelming majority of the students that attend a local Catholic High School , they have come from a Catholic Grade School. Ergo the test results reflect what was accomplished at the lower levels of schooling. Thank you for making my point.
But take a GOOD LONG LOOK at the difference between those Schools listed, it is MIND-BOGGLING.
These tests are highly subjective and were based upon:
"...the number of economically disadvantaged students in the districts and students' participation in advanced placement courses....". Laughable!

David Crockett Middle School's eighth-grade girls basketball team owned James B. Bonham during the regular season.
The Lady Pioneers beat the Lady Mustangs in the opening, nonconference, game of the season Nov. 19 and again when it counted Jan. 22.
Crockett had gone undefeated in conference but Bonham had only suffered the one conference loss to the Lady Pioneers.
Crockett was confident they could make it three in a row, but the Lady Mustangs had other ideas.
Bonham surprised Crockett by hitting from the 3-point range in the first quarter of the championship game at the Palo Duro High School Activity Center and then applied a stifling full-court press early to stymie any Crockett offense. The Lady Mustangs led after one quarter, 3-0.
Alexa Allen scored Bonham's first points in the second quarter and J'Rhea Wise followed with a field goal. Crockett finally got on the board with 2:40 left in the second quarter. Bonham's offensive output near the end of the second quarter was nearly double that of Crockett, and Wise added an exclamation point when, at the buzzer, her shot fell for 2 more points to give the Lady Mustangs a 17-8 lead at the break.
Bonham's Gina Mayberry opened the third quarter with a field goal and the Lady Mustangs extended the lead when Tarheena Byrd's long-range shot dropped for 3 to put Bonham up 26-12.
Byrd later found the range again when another 3-pointer dropped as the buzzer sounded to end the third quarter, giving the Lady Mustangs a 29-16 lead.
Byrd never really needed to get close to the basket, hitting long range for 3 in the fourth quarter. Crockett saw its undefeated mark fall as Bonham won the city championship, 34-20.

Ok, so now I know I should have not played around with the permalink structure , in the last two months I changed them probably 3 times and I just read it that everytime you change them you loose your search engine rankings .
Now my question would be whether changing the theme would have a similar effect or not ?
I got a feeling it should not affect the rankings but I would appreciate some feedback on this before I shoot myself in the foot again :)
Thank you !
