Space Jam is a 1996 American live-action-animated sports comedy film starring basketball player Michael Jordan and featuring the Looney Tunes cartoon characters. The film was produced by Ivan Reitman, and directed by Joe Pytka, with Tony Cervone and Bruce W. Smith directing the animation. Nigel Miguel was a basketball technical advisor.[2]
Released theatrically by Warner Bros. under the Family Entertainment label on November 15, 1996, it includes an alternate story of what happened between Jordan's initial retirement from the NBA in 1993 and his comeback in 1995, this time with him being inspired by events including Bugs Bunny and his friends. Space Jam opened at No. 1 in the US and grossed over $230 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing basketball film of all-time.
In 1993, professional basketball player Michael Jordan announces his retirement from the sport to follow his late father's career as a baseball player. However, it becomes evident that he is not as skilled in baseball as he was in basketball. Jordan is assigned a publicist, the bumbling Stan Podolak, to make his new career less bumpy. Elsewhere, in outer space, an intergalactic amusement park called Moron Mountain faces dwindling popularity, so its owner, Mr. Swackhammer, sends his diminutive minions, the Nerdlucks, to capture the Looney Tunes as new entertainment. The Looney Tunes live in an animated world hidden in the center of the Earth, but are unable to listen to the Nerdlucks' threats and challenge them to a game of basketball to determine their fate, however, they think they'll easily win back their freedom, since the Nerdlucks are tiny.
The Nerdlucks steal the talents of basketball players Charles Barkley, Shawn Bradley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues, leaving them incapable of playing. The Nerdlucks absorb the talent, transforming into the gigantic "Monstars" who easily intimidate the Looney Tunes. While playing golf with Bill Murray, Larry Bird, and Stan, Jordan is sucked down a hole and is recruited by Bugs Bunny to help the Tunes win against the Monstars. Jordan at first refuses, saying he does not play basketball anymore, but changes his decision and agrees to help when the Monstars insult and humiliate him, and hurt Tweety, but first sends Bugs and Daffy Duck to his house to retrieve his basketball gear. The two have a difficult time obtaining the clothes due to the interruption of Jordan's pet dog, but his children help them out.
Meanwhile, Stan has been digging out the golf hole to find Jordan, but spots Bugs and Daffy leap down another one and pursues them, reuniting with Jordan in the Tunes' world and joins the Tune Squad. Another new recruit is Lola Bunny, a skilled basketball player whom Bugs falls in love with. The day of the match arrives, but the first half is dominated by the Monstars, leaving the Looney Tunes unconfident. Stan overhears a conversation between the Monstars and Swackhammer, learning of how they gained their talent and informs Jordan. Bugs and Jordan convince the rest of the Tune Squad to fight back, and the first half of the second round allows the characters to catch up using old school gags and Acme weaponry. Swackhammer decides he wants Jordan as a new attraction instead, and makes an agreement with him that he will become an attraction if he loses the match, sparing the Looney Tunes.
To ensure his victory, Swackhammer has the Monstars play dirty and injure all of the Tune Squad until only Jordan, Bugs, Daffy, Lola, and Stan are left. Stan becomes the fifth player and manages to score, but is literally flattened by the Monstars and is removed from the court to be inflated. The referee, Marvin the Martian, informs Jordan unless the team gets a fifth player, then they'll forfeit the game. Bill Murray appears and volunteers to be the team's fifth member. In the final seconds of the game, Jordan gains the ball and manages to use cartoon physics to extend his arm and score the winning points. Murray retires from the sport, and the Monstars blast Swackhammer to the Moon in a rocket when they realize they do not have to take his abuse anymore. Jordan convinces them to give up the stolen talents.
Jordan and a recovered Stan return to the surface, the Nerdlucks dropping them off at Jordan's next baseball game. Later on, the two visit the incapacitated basketball players and return their talent. The players invite Jordan to a three-on-three match but when he declines, they question his loss of talent. In a move mirroring his actual comeback in 1995, Jordan returns to the Chicago Bulls to reprise his basketball career.

The soundtrack sold enough albums to be certified as 6x Platinum.[4] It also served as a high point for musical artist R. Kelly, whose song "I Believe I Can Fly" not only was a hit, but earned him two Grammy Awards.[5] Other tracks included a cover of Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle" (by Seal), "Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem)" (by B-Real, Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J, and Method Man), "Basketball Jones" (by Barry White & Chris Rock), "I Turn to You" (by All-4-One) and "For You I Will" (by Monica). The movie's title song was performed by the Quad City DJ's.
Video games[edit]
There was a licensed pinball game by Sega based on the film and a video game for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Windows PC by Acclaim.
Home media[edit]
Warner Home Video released the film on VHS and Laserdisc on March 11, 1997 (the VHS version was sold with a collector's coin included). The VHS tape was re-printed and re-released through Warner Home Video's catalog promotions: the Warner Bros. 75th Anniversary Celebration (1998), Century Collection (1999), Century 2000 (2000) and Warner Spotlight (2001). The film was released on DVD for the first time on July 25, 2000. On April 4, 2003, the film was released as a 2-disc special edition DVD including newly made extras such as a commentary track and a featurette. On November 6, 2007 the movie was featured as one of the films in Warner Home Video's 4-Film Favorites: Family Comedies collection DVD (The other 3 films being Looney Tunes: Back in Action (six years after Space Jam), Osmosis Jones, and Funky Monkey). On February 8, 2011 the first disc of the previous 2-disc edition was released by itself in a movie only edition DVD, and later that same year on October 4, 2011 the film was released for the first time in widescreen HD on Blu-ray which, save for an hour of classic Looney Tunes shorts, ported over all the extras from the 2003 2-disc edition DVD.
Toys were released coinciding with the film, including various action figures released by Playmates under the short lived banner "WB Toy". The toys had limited articulation and paired Michael Jordan, or another characters of the movie (Charles Barkley and the Monstars with a Looney Tunes character and accessories). Some figures depicted Michael Jordan as a basketball player, a baseball player and a golf player. The line included stuffed toys, decorated basketballs, as well as a McDonald's Happy Meal promotion.
Critical response[edit]
On the critical response aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 36%, based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 5.1/10. The site's consensus reads, "A harmless mishmash of basketball and animation that'll entertain kids but leave adults less than thrilled."[6]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave Space Jam a thumbs up,[7] as did Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, although his zeal was more subdued.[8] In his print review, Ebert gave the film 3 1/2 stars out of 4, noting, "Space Jam is a happy marriage of good ideas—three films for the price of one, giving us a comic treatment of the career adventures of Michael Jordan, crossed with a Looney Tunes cartoon and some showbiz warfare. ... the result is delightful, a family movie in the best sense (which means the adults will enjoy it, too)."[7] Siskel focused much of his praise on Jordan's performance, saying, "He wisely accepted as a first movie a script that builds nicely on his genial personality in an assortment of TV ads. The sound bites are just a little longer."[8] Leonard Maltin also gave the film a positive review (3 stars), stating, "Jordan is very engaging, the vintage characters perform admirably ... and the computer-generated special effects are a collective knockout."[9] Todd McCarthy of Variety praised the film for its humor. He also praised the Looney Tunes' antics and Jordan's acting.[10]
Although Janet Maslin of The New York Times criticized the film's animation, she later went on to say that the film is a "fond tribute to [the Looney Tunes characters'] past."[3] Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune complained about some aspects of the movie, stating, "...we don't get the co-stars' best stuff. Michael doesn't soar enough. The Looney Tuners don't pulverize us the way they did when Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng or Bob Clampett were in charge." Yet overall he also liked the film, giving it 3 stars and saying: "Is it cute? Yes. Is it a crowd-pleaser? Yup. Is it classic? Nope. (Though it could have been.)"[11]
Other critics were less than kind. TV Guide gave the movie only 2 stars, calling it a "cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of Warner Bros. cartoon characters and basketball player Michael Jordan, inspired by a Nike commercial."[12] Margaret A. McGurk of The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the film 2 1/2 stars, saying, "Technical spectacle amounts do nothing without a good story."[13]
Veteran Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies director Chuck Jones was highly critical of the film. In a 1998 interview, he expressed his views that the film was "terrible" and said, as a man who worked with the characters for almost thirty years, the story was deeply flawed. "I can tell you, with the utmost confidence," he said, "Porky Pig would never say 'I think I wet myself'". Jones also added that, were the film more true to the source material, Bugs Bunny would not have incorporated the help of Jordan or the other Looney Tunes characters to defeat the Nerdlucks, "and moreover, it wouldn't have taken him an hour and a half. Those aliens, whether they were tiny or colossal, would've been dealt with in short order come the seven minute mark."[14]
Box office[edit]
Space Jam was a box office success. At the end of its run, it grossed approximately $90.4 million in the United States and an estimated $230–$250 million internationally.[15][16] It is the highest grossing basketball film of all time[17] and the third highest-grossing sports film, behind Rocky IV and The Blind Side.[18]

In other media[edit]
The Monstars make a cameo in the Pinky and the Brain / Animaniacs episode "Star Warners" (a parody of Star Wars). Jordan himself, who was a spokesman for MCI Communications before the film was made, would appear with the Looney Tunes characters (as "his Space Jam buddies") in several MCI commercials for several years after the film was released before MCI merged with WorldCom and subsequently Verizon Communications.[19] Bugs had previously appeared with Jordan as "Hare Jordan" in Nike ads for the Air Jordan VII and Air Jordan VIII.[20][21]
In 2013, Yahoo! Screen released a parody of ESPN's 30 for 30 about the game shown in the film. The short dates the game as taking place on November 17, 1995, although Jordan's real-life return to basketball occurred on March 18 of that year.[22]
In February 2014, Warner Bros. announced a sequel which is set to star LeBron James. Charlie Ebersol will produce through his production company, The Company, with a script by his brother, Willie Ebersol. Jon Berg will executive produce.[23] Representatives of James denied the claim that he would be involved.[24] In May 2014, James was quoted as saying, "I've always loved Space Jam. It was one of my favorite movies growing up. If I have the opportunity, it will be great."[25] In July 2015, James and his production company, SpringHill Entertainment, signed a deal with Warner Bros. for television, movies, and digital content after receiving positive reviews for his acting role in Trainwreck.[26][27][28] On May 2, 2016, Justin Lin was said to be in talks to direct the sequel; co-writing the screenplay with Andrew Dodge, and Alfredo Botello.[29]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee woman has died after setting
herself on fire outside a Nashville church for the second time in
five weeks.
Police said the 34-year-old woman doused herself with gasoline early Sunday afternoon outside Grace Evangelical Church. Two people, believed to be attending the church, found her in the parking lot on fire and tried to put out the blaze with water.
Police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford said the unidentified woman had done the same thing in the same place on Sunday, November 16th.
The motive remains unknown.
After the first incident, police said she would undergo a mental evaluation.

FanDuel Wins the Mashable 2012 Sports Innovation Index Award!
Since our inception, we've always believed that daily leagues are the future of fantasy sports. Daily fantasy leagues offer a number of advantages over season-long leagues. Among many other things, there's less dependence on a single draft that can make or break a whole year, less commitment required, more interesting league formats, and quite frankly, daily leagues are a lot more exciting. Fantasy players of all major sports have flocked to FanDuel to play in leagues that last a day, and it was only a matter of time before the media would begin to pick up on this.
When it comes to internet and technology coverage, few publications are bigger and more prestigious than Mashable. Needless to say, we were incredibly flattered to learn that we'd been hand-selected by Jon Dube (head of CBS fantasy sports) as one of five nominees in the sports category of their 2012 Innovation Index.
What's this Innovation Index all about? It's simply a list of highly innovative companies spread across 15 categories. While the categories range from sports to fashion to health and more, every nominee shares a common bond – they're seen as major innovators in their respective industries.
We were up against four amazing companies: Nike, Bloomberg Sports, Flex-Foot Cheetah (used by double-leg amputee Oscar Pistorius to run in the 2012 Summer Olympics), and Condition One (Mark Cuban was impressed enough to invest in it). Thanks in large part to your votes, we won!
That's right – we won an award for shaking up the sports world more than any other company did in 2012. When you consider the fact that winners in the other 14 categories include companies like Google, Instagram, and Huffington Post, we're still a bit shocked to see our names up there too!
This was all a major vote of confidence in both FanDuel and the concept of daily fantasy leagues in general. We've never been more optimistic about the prospects of the company and the industry. The possibilities are virtually limitless as more people begin to learn that it's possible to play in fantasy leagues that only last a day. Think about all of your friends who play in season-long leagues and haven't tried us out yet; it's only a matter of time before they realize what they're missing out on.
Or maybe you're still one of those people. If you haven't tried us out yet, it's about time you jumped on the bandwagon.
Sign up free and try us out. You'll love us.
We're working around the clock to improve your experience at FanDuel. It only gets bigger and better from here. Thanks again for all of your support.

Essay - Is Justice for all Possible? the Issue of Euthanasia is...
Is Justice For All Possible?
The issue of euthanasia is complicated because it revolves around death, liberty, and justice. Many people believe that choosing to die is irrational and should not be allowed. However, by preventing the choice ***** euthanasia, society is also ***** an individual's right to liberty and justice. If people have the right ***** choose how they wish to live their lives, then it only seems ***** be logical that they ***** be able to ***** how ***** end their life. Because this is not allowed to happen, justice can***** ***** had by all. This paper will examine ***** justice is being ignored when it comes ***** *****.
When discussing euthanasia, we must discern between voluntary and nonvoluntary euthanasia. Voluntary euthanasia is generally associated with persons who are terminally ill ***** wish to end their lives due ***** insufferable pain. Nonvoluntary ***** is associated with mercy killing without the consent of ***** person who ***** ill. In many cases, family members can step in and give consent for such a killing ***** the ill person is unable to do so *****mselves. ***** addition, active euthanasia is when the ill person is admin*****tered a leth*****l injection. On the o*****r h*****, passive ***** involves not giving an ***** person what they would need to survive. Passive euthanasia is ***** seen as killing; however, active ***** is. After all, in a c*****e of passive euthanasia, the doctor does not do anyth*****g to cause ***** patient ***** die. Most advocates for euthanasia are fighting for physicians to assist terminally ill patients.
More importantly, we must put ********** feelings aside and look at the issue from ***** standpoint of the law. Observed through ***** scope, we can certainly see how justice is being denied ***** those who w*****h to die. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, says:
***** state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge ***** privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of *****, liberty, or property, without due process ***** law; nor deny ***** any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (LOC 1996)
***** this measure, every grown citizen ***** ***** ***** ***** to decide what he or she *****es with his ***** her body. This does not exclude anyone according ***** his or her state of health ***** wellness. There will always be ***** who ***** that individuals ***** make wrong decisions. However, just *****cause it is viewed as wrong or incorrect by a particular segment of society, those individuals are ***** prevented ***** making them. In c*****es of euthanasia, liberty ***** a m*****jor issue. Therefore, wishes pertaining to ***** should be ho*****ed. In short, it is unconstitutional to deny these individuals the right ***** make a ***** regarding *****ir own situations. As a result, ***** ***** left to the mercy ***** others that may not operate on ***** that individual wants. This also strips the individual of their

News Hutcherson on Anderson Cooper Tonight?
posted by April 5 at 9:50 AMon
This sure sounds like the Anderson Cooper show that Hutcherson was taping last week.
Are Christians obsessed with sex? Some say the church is interfering in private lives, others say sex is something to be explored as part of one's walk with Christ. A "360°" special report: "What is a Christian," tonight, 10 ET.
UPDATE: Ask and ye shall receive an email from the Prayer Warrior:
April 5, 2007
"Tune in tonight at 7:00 pm PST when CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 presents a feature show on the topic of homosexuality, the ex-gay movement and faith. The show will highlight Focus on the Family's Love Won Out conference and will feature interviews with Exodus President Alan Chambers and Dr. Ken "Hutch" Hutcherson, featured speaker at this year's Exodus conference and Senior Pastor of the Antioch Bible Church in Seattle, Washington."
Dear Prayer Warrior,
Please pray that they play what I taped, and it will come across accurately!

Stop Greyhounds being shipped to Spain!
Over a year ago
From the petition:
With the opening of greyhound racing tracks in Spain, which are as of yet not licenced so no official betting is allowed, the Spanish are back at the Greyhound sales in Thurles, Ireland, paying over the top prices for the dogs (500 euro for a dog that would normally sell for 200). These greyhounds have been vaccinated by a local vet and are currently in kennels in Ireland waiting to be transported to Spain mid November. Greyhounds in Spain are generally treated callously, used and abused and then disposed of in the most horrendous ways, often by hanging from a tree with their feet just touching the ground so they 'dance' to live until they no longer have the strength. Spanish rescue groups are already unable to cope with the vast numbers of abandoned sighthounds and clearly will not be able to help these racing greyhounds once they have outlived their usefulness. We are calling on the Irish Greyhound Board and the Irish Department of Agriculture, specifically Minister Simon Coveney, to stop these dogs being exported to Spain. We are also calling on rescue groups and those within the racing industry who are opposed to the exportation of these greyhounds to Spain to boycott those who are profiting from this situation be they breeders, trainers, transporters or vets.

I am trying to connect to an SVN repos via the svn+ssh protocol on Windows7 (32-bit). I have the server set up fine and can connect from my Linux box. When trying to connect from my W7 machine (I have Putty, Plink, Pageant and TortoiseSVN all installed), it tries to connect 3 times and then gives me this error
To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels]
section of your Subversion configuration file.
Network connection closed unexpectedly
Looking at the server logs I can see my SVN user log in 3 times via SSH and I can use Putty to log in using my account and private key using "pure" SSH. I'm more familiar with Linux than Windows so not sure how to debug this any further.
Any ideas?

2006: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper
October 25th, 2012 Headsman
During the first week of classes in August 1990 at the University of Florida's city of Gainesville, five college students were brutally murdered during a terrifying burglary-rape-murder spree.
On this date in 2006, serial killer Danny Rolling finally paid for the murders.
"The face of evil in our community" and Florida college towns' most infamous serial killer since Ted Bundy made the FSU Chi Omega sorority his last port of call, Rolling was a 26-year-old with sociopathy born of an abusive home life. (Here's a pdf profile of the guy.)
After shooting his hated father in the face — the Shreveport, La., policeman lost an eye but lived — Rolling headed east to Florida. He would later say that he aspired to become a "superstar" criminal — just like Bundy.*
Little did anyone know that Rolling was already a murderer. Only after his grisly turn in Gainesville was he linked back to a theretofore unsolved 1989 Shreveport triple homicide that saw a man, his daughter, and his son stabbed to death. Rolling had posed young Julie Grissom for investigators.
It was a signature behavior the Gainesville police were about to know all too well.
Out of nowhere, the horror murders leaped onto Florida front pages: 18-year-old Sonja Larson and 17-year-old Christina Powell, stabbed to death on August 24, 1990 (Larson was raped, too): both girls' bodies theatrically posed.
The very next day, 18-year-old Christina Hoyt raped, stabbed to death, and decapitated — the severed head positioned as if scrutinizing its former torso.
Terrified students began taking what protective measures they could against the hunter in their midst, but just two days later 23-year-old Tracy Paules was raped, knifed, and posed … after Rolling also killed the boyfriend that she had staying over for safety.
Arrested soon thereafter on an unrelated burglary, Rolling's campsite turned up the evidence linking him to the Gainesville Ripper's predations. Superstardom was on the way: Rolling's murders helped inspire the Wes Craven slasher classic Scream.**
When the much-delayed case finally came to trial in 1994, Rolling unexpectedly pleaded guilty without any deal to avoid the death penalty. Why dilute his infamy by denying it? "There are some things you just can't run from, this being one of those," Rolling told the judge in his singsong drawl.
Maybe had he come of age just a few years later, the Gainesville Ripper might have scratched that itch for notoriety holding forth on the coming age of new media channels instead of butchering humans.
Certainly Danny Rolling, arranger of mutilated corpses, had the character of a performer; recordings of his own renditions of folk songs were among the artifacts police recovered from the killer's campsite. Later, in prison, Rolling became a prolific death row artist and his "murderabilia" art can be found for sale on the Internet.
He also personally illustrated The Making of a Serial Killer, a book about his crime spree that Rolling co-authored with Sondra London — a true crime author who fell in love with her subject.
A few books about (and by) Danny Rolling
Whatever charms people perceived in Danny Rolling have understandably been lost on those who survived the victims. And Rolling's wicked "superstardom" remains yet a sensitive subject in Gainesville, where many residents still remember those days of panic the Gainesville Ripper sowed in 1990.
Memorial to Danny Rolling's victims painted on Gainesville's 34th Street Wall. Image (c) hecht 801 and used with permission.
* There was a more direct link between Bundy and Rolling as well: (non-death-row) murderer Bobby Lewis, who became Bundy's friend while the latter was in prison, later also befriended Danny Rolling, even acting as a go-between for Rolling's dealings with investigators.
** There's also a 2007 (posthumous to Danny) horror film directly about the Gainesville murders.

10 thoughts on "2006: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper"
I'm not sure who compiled The "Life Events" of Danny Rolling, but they left out a lot of information. Danny worked at Holsum Bakery in Shreveport, La. while I was a Production Foreman on Samford Avenue. He was by all accounts a normal, GOD fearing person. He talked about GOD quite a bit, and was really a nice person. Danny was cleaning a "Bun Rolling Machine" one night, and had a towel in the top. The cylindrical roller was turning at the time, and it pulled the towel and Danny's hand inside. Danny had two or three of the ends of fingers cut off on one hand.

Just because somebody disagrees with you, Kevin, they are not necessarily confused, uninformed, simple-minded, or, as you have often said of me, delusional. Your comments are nothing more than a personal attack.
Dear JCF:
"Execution just lets loose our invididual evils to merge into collective state-sanctioned homicide. If we want less violence in our society, just say NO MORE EXECUTIONS!"
You are exceedingly confused. You have no idea what drives people to murder, or apparently, why the average person never commits murder. You have an exceedingly simplistic view of morality in general, and you know nothing of truly wicked individuals who need to be relieved of their breath.
"May we never give up the right to execute the evil among us"
Oh, I'm all for executing evil: I try to execute the evil within me everyday.
I conscientiously object to executing HUMAN BEINGS, however: human beings, who are ALWAYS a mixture of good & evil, to those who know them best.
Some of us have evil from which society should be PROTECTED (i.e., imprisonment or secure mental hospitals). That doesn't require killing. Execution just lets loose our invididual evils to merge into collective state-sanctioned homicide. If we want less violence in our society, just say NO MORE EXECUTIONS!
I have an idea. How about we release ALL of your best friends, keep 'em alive and move you in to take care of them? Two birds with one stone. You bleeding hearts get your do gooder fix, and there's one less idiot in the world!
I agree JCF. According to trial testimony, Rolling came to Florida to kill so he could become a "criminal superstar."
When Ted Bundy asked attorney John Henry Browne in what state people would most likely be executed, Browne's answer was that, "It'd probably be Florida now." Journalist Richard Larsen questioned whether Ted Bundy went to Florida "to play his thrilling drama on the most ominous of stages." Bundy's interviews with Dr. Ronald M. Holmes, Professor Emeritus of Justice Administration at the University of Louisville, verified Larsen's suspicion when Bundy "said that the reason he went to Florida was that he knew Florida had the death penalty, and if he was caught for his crimes he would be executed. He added 'the greater the risk, the greater the thrill.'" Michael Mello, internationally recognized authority on the death penalty and capital punishment issues, believed that, beyond the risk attraction, "if caught, he [Bundy] wanted the celebrity of a high-profile trial and execution."
Dr. Katherine van Wormer, who studied suicide-murder (suicide by capital punishment), says "Within prison and without, there are certain disturbed individuals—mostly men and mostly whites—for whom the prospect of execution was highly appealing." She cites "22 cases of murderers in the U.S. who killed in hopes of getting themselves executed."
States with capital punishment put their citizens at risk by attracting killers.
May we never give up the right to execute the evil among us, once they've been convicted in a court of law and had the proper appeals. This is both good and fair, and to not do so is a slap to the face of the families of the victims.
Executions create MORE "monsters". Killing-> more killing.
One less monster on the earth to worry about.

Inside the HD 2 we find a main PCB which is significantly smaller than the chassis and close to the centre is the Realtek chipset which controls the player. This processor, branded RTD1185DD, sits alongside on-board memory which on our sample was a Nanya NT5TU64M16GG-AC DDR2. Also present is the RTL8211D GB LAN controller and as with the Mini 2 we reviewed last week there is a Hynix NAND Flash chip branded HY27UF084G2B which stores out GUI/OS for the device.
The final significant chip in the HD 2 is a JMS551 USB 3.0 to SATA bridge controller.
Also worth noting is that the system also includes a mini-PCIe slot which means we could insert a Wi-Fi card, or at least AC Ryan can offer models with Wi-Fi built in.
Two other aspects of note are the smaller PCB which sits at the front of the unit providing its IR and power features on the external surface and that at the back of the unit is a single cooling fan which runs near silent at all times.
Finally, before we look at the device in use, here are a list of the detailed specifications and format support:

We're glad you are thinking about making the move. Linux has some tools that are designed to let the user run Windows software – the most famous being the Wine API and related utilities, but once you move to Linux, you might discover that your old Windows software is not as critical as you thought. You're much better off working with the native Linux tools if you switch to Linux. The good news is, the Linux environment has equivalents for most of the common tools you are running in Windows, and most of these tools are available for no cost.
I don't know if you could get Microsoft Messenger running in Linux, but Linux has its own messaging tools, including amsn, a Linux tool that lets you communicate on Microsoft's MSN network. Because Hotmail is a webmail tool, theoretically you could reach your Hotmail account from a browser running on any operating system; however, the question of whether Microsoft has succeeded in keeping the Hotmail website free of proprietary constraints is best answered by the people in Redmond. In any case, the mail you see in Hotmail is just ordinary email, and Linux has lots of excellent email client applications.
Article Suggestion
Thank you for publishing your magazine! I have been a subscriber now for a few years, and I enjoy your magazine thoroughly. I would like to suggest something in the way of an article. Why not do something on the distributions based on one of the big distros. As the subject of my email says, I would personally like to see something on the Ubuntu-based distros, for instance, Linux Mint. I hope you consider something like this, I think these distros are doing good work in promoting ease of use and good design, and they deserve to get some lime light!
Mark Murphy
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll see what we can do. Watch future issues for more on Linux Mint and other Ubuntu-based distros.

Cat's Foot
In this Article
How does Cat's Foot work?There is some evidence from animal experiments that cat's foot might relieve intestinal spasms and increase bile flow. However, there isn't enough information to know how it might work in people.
Are there safety concerns?There isn't enough information to know if cat's foot is safe.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of cat's foot during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Allergy to ragweed, daisies, and related plants: Cat's foot may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae plant family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking cat's foot.
Dosing considerations for Cat's Foot.The appropriate dose of cat's foot depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for cat's foot. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

How to get for example all posts that start with "A"?
How to get for example all posts that start with "A"?
Put this in your functions.php:
add_filter('query_vars', 'letter_queryvar' );
function letter_queryvar( $qvars )
$qvars[] = 'letter';
return $qvars;
add_filter('posts_where', 'letter_where' );
function letter_where( $where )
global $wp_query;
global $wpdb;
if( isset( $wp_query->query_vars['letter'] )) {
$where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '".$wp_query->query_vars['letter']."%'";
return $where;
Now You can query posts like this:
The code returns Posts with titles that begins with the letter A.
If you want Posts where the post content begins with the letter A change this:
$where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '".$wp_query->query_vars['letter']."%' ";
to this:
$where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '".$wp_query->query_vars['letter']."%' ";
Thank you, thank you, but It doesn't work.
Try it with the code from my last post (just above yours).
Sorry, my question was not right. I want to get all posts whose titles begin with a specific letter, so basically the code that you gave me first.
But doesn't work.
Does it return any posts or none when you query the loop?
For testing try putting this after query_posts.
global $wp_query;
echo '<pre>';
echo '</pre>';
Can you see if "letter" is in the "query_vars" Array.
Can you paste and submit the full code of the template file where you query the loop into a pastebin.com and post the link to it here? see the Forum Rules for posting code and using the pastebin.
Here's what the output of print_r is:
WP_Query Object
[query_vars] => Array
[letter] => A
The code in my template is:
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo 'test';
try that with:
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
No, nothing :(
So it returns nothing?
You do have post titles that start with an A?
Very strange because this works on my site.
Yeah nothing. I have only 2 posts that start with an A (Atmosphere, Amber).
If I put query_posts('category_name=test'), it gets the posts from test category.
I have wordpress 3.2.1 by the way.
Maybe you have a older version.
No, I have the same WordPress version.
Are there multiple loops in your template file? Can you put the full template file in a pastebin.
I've found a solution: http://pastebin.com/DXduNtKk
I know that your solution is better than this, but what can I do :)
there is a related topic:
Well, if that works, your solution is better. Maybe your theme or a plugin is conflicting with my code.
From the print_r array can you show me the [request].
Thank you alchymyth, but the solution posted there didn't work.
keesiemeijer here is the print_r: http://pastebin.com/VvAdyVHs
i tested both the solution posted by @keesiemeijer in his first reply, as well the one by @MichaelH, and both worked in my local test blog.
i therefore support the idea, that: 'Maybe your theme or a plugin is conflicting with the code.'
Yes, I think so too. I'm using the twentyten theme by the way.
Tested it with twentyten and it works.
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
I tried it keesiemeijer, doesn't work, but don't worry because I'm using the other solution.
Thank you for your support.
No problem. Glad you found a solution to your problem.
As I said, your solution looks better, mine is just a workaround.

I had zombie problems with Backbone. (http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2011/09/15/zombies-run-managing-page-transitions-in-backbone-apps/)
So, I followed that tutorial and it solved all my problems.
Basically, the tutorial says that I need to close a view first (
this.close() and
this.unbind()) before I start a new view.
However, after following this tutorial, side effect occurred. When I do "close", my application deletes the "el" and there is nothing on the page (the screen is white). When the new view is rendered, there is content again.
Previously, there was no white flash at all because nothing was removed. (new render template replaces old one). The site seemed faster before, but now there is a flash.

Police are investigating an assault on a 14-year-old girl in
Masterton yesterday morning, the third attack on a teenage
girl in the area in four months.
In the latest attack, the girl was walking along a path which
runs beside the river between a swing bridge and Colombo Road
in Queen Elizabeth Park about 8.30am when she was set upon.
A person walking a small black dog may have scared off the
offender, police said.
In October a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in
Colombo Rd.
The girl told police she was walking alone near Colombo Rd
bridge about 9.30pm and was confronted by a man who pushed
her to the ground and assaulted her.
In August, another 14-year-old girl was forced down a bank
near the swing bridge at the park on a Saturday afternoon.
A youth aged 16 was referred to Youth Aid over that attack.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

USDA Affirms Food-Inflation Forecast at 2.5% to 3.5% in 2012
U.S. consumers will pay 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent more for food in 2012, the Department of Agriculture said, affirming its December forecast.
Beef and seafood will post the biggest gains, climbing as much as 5 percent, the USDA said today on a report on its website. Eggs, dairy products and fruits and vegetables will rise less than forecast, the agency said.
Retail-food costs rose 3.7 percent in 2011, the USDA said. The December forecast was for a gain of 3.25 percent to 3.75 percent. The Bureau of Labor Statistics earlier this month said expenses climbed 0.2 percent in December, capping a 4.7 percent projected increase last year. The USDA uses a broader range of goods for estimates.
"We still, relatively speaking, have affordable food in this country," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on a conference call with reporters.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
I hope you'll forgive me a short one– it's been a lousy day. If you're clamoring for more, however, there's always the archive!
Today, my friends, I bring you the story of a cop. But not just any cop…
169. Lady Cop
…a Lady Cop.
The First Issue Special series was a strange beast. Frankly, it was terribly titled– blatantly proclaiming "First Issue" every issue, but dashing our hopes with the numbering in the little box next to it. At one point, I was tossing around the idea of a "one-hit wonder" theme week– and, you know, most of them would probably come from the First Issue Special series. I've already discussed one brilliant concept birthed from FIS's pages– I'm speaking, of course, of the fantabulous Green Team– and now, it's time for another.
Lady Cop was the story of one Liza Warner– a young woman terrorized by being the sole survivor of a massacre by a Killer In Boots. Haunted by the experience and vowing to catch the killer, she… joins up with the police force. What? You expected a cape and tights? Never! She becomes a policewoman, learns martial arts, kicks sexist pig ass, and teaches all her readers about the dangers of venereal disease. Seriously. The story is ten kinds of awesome.
Clearly, only one man could bring us such brilliance. That's right. Robert "Wild Bob" Kanigher. Along with artist John Rosenberger (whatever happened to him?), he crafted the first and only Lady Cop story.
"Only," that is, until Gail Simone started writing a little series called All New Atom. Ivy Town had a new police chief… a Lady Chief, you might say. Her name? Liza Warner. Huzzah! Finally, everyone's favorite obscure female character has returned. It only took a little over three decades. Every night, right after I pray for world peace and the health of my family and friends, I ask God to let Gail reveal to us the true identity of the Killer In Boots, and let the Lady Cop finally catch him. Admit it; that would be marvelous.
And now: Lady Cop's greatest moments! Click to enlarge the ones that need enlarging. I have shamelessly borrowed these images from other sources, but fear not, I shall link to those wonderful souls below.
Do you see? Do you see the awesome?
As you may expect, the blogosphere loves Lady Cop. I shall prove it with links!:
Devon of "Seven Hells!" has an entire labeled section devoted to Ms. Warner. Behold! All his Lady Cop posts in one nice package.
Walaka of the Last Shortbox/Recreation Annex hits us with the Saga and Return of Lady Cop.
Fanzing (okay, not really a blog) tells us about the Cop who is a Lady.
My work here? Done. (You know, this one turned out to be just as long as a normal one after all… probably longer than yesterday's, though that one took forever to compile and complete.)
I'm afraid I don't, Bill.
thanks for this post. i would have never caught the lady cop in all new atom without it. it's pretty frickin obvious now but i remember reading that iss and not catching it.
what will i do when the 365 days is over?
My fourth favorite character over at "The Dugout" is Lady Cop.
She's after Kyle Farnsworth, Jim Thome, and Manny Rameriez.
What does her dad not sleeping with any women after her mom died have to do with how he would react to her having VD?
That is an awesome entry, and my respect for Gail Simone just went up even more (which I didn't think was possible given how in love with her work I am now). I even remembering seeing that panel in All-New Atom that mentions the "Killer In Boots" and wondering if there was some story I missed. Now I want to see the saga of the Killer In Boots finished too!
The idea is that Dad has a very strict moral baseline and would thus frown on Daughter 'sleeping around', as I believe it would've been called at the time.
As for Lady Cop…I dunno, I'm not seeing the awesome either. The mediaverse was positively littered with 'lady cops' back then – remember Angie Dickinson in 'Police Woman'? Great concept for the time, but the novelty value's kinda worn off in the interim.
Never much saw the attraction for Angie D…
Ah, but 'Get Cristy Love,' who remembers her?
Huh, sugah?
Pointing to the second to last panel you've reproduced: Sorry, Chief Warner, but I don't think that's a department-issue uniform.
I don't read Simone's Atom (though I tried it for a couple of issues at the beginning when Byrne was drawing it) but it's always nice to hear about an obscure minor character makes a comeback. James Robinson was a master at this in STARMAN.
1st ISSUE SPECIAL was basically another SHOWCASE and they had some very good issues.
There were the fantastic Kirby issues (ATLAS and DINGBATS), the Ditko CREEPER (under a lame cover), Mike Grell's premiere of WARLORD, WAlter Simonson's DR. FATE…
This brought a smile to my face.
Thanks, Bill!
Bought and still own the Lady Cop issue. Loved it when I was a kid growing up. Wished there had been more. I agree that the Killerin Boots must be found and brought to justice by Lady Police Chief.
Gail Simone, if you are listening, do it for the audience who have waited 30 years forthe resolution to this story.
Lady Cop. That's HOT! Gay boys know HOT when we see it. I think it's probably been made into a movie… several times. And, honey? Your father's a dock worker? I think he knows alllllll about V.D.!

There are a lot (tens of millions) of old computers that are still perfectly good which can NOT upgrade to the latest operating systems and browsers. Please continue to support these older systems. It isn't that hard to do. Yes, they may not be as fast as the newest machines but they are very capable and it is a waste to force these machines into the trash.
