Thai Lawmakers Key to Next Move After Army Acts: Southeast Asia
The general behind yesterday's declaration of martial law in Thailand says he hasn't launched a coup. Whether he's proved right will depend on the nation's judges and appointed senators.
Army Chief Prayuth Chan-Ocha sent troops into Bangkok in the middle of the night, shutting down some media outlets and making the military the final arbiter over all aspects of what it deems issues of national security. In a country that has weathered 11 coups since 1932, he didn't suspend the constitution, dissolve the Cabinet, impose a curfew or arrest members of the pro-government Red Shirt movement.
"The cautious acceptance of martial law from Red Shirt leaders, caretaker-government ministers and the acting Senate president suggests it's viewed as a circuit-breaker, a better option than what was widely seen as escalating violence," said Michael Connors, an associate professor at the Malaysia campus of the University of Nottingham. "However, each side has warned the military not to go beyond the security mandate of the law, and each will still push for stated political objectives but under tighter control."
The declaration of martial law was intended to ease violence that has killed 28 since November. Whether that peace is lasting or a pause before possible civil war will depend on actions of the military, courts and senators in coming days. Should the army back plans to install an appointed government, Thailand will face tough questions from the international community and risk an escalation of the unrest that has marred Southeast Asia's second-largest economy for most of the past decade.
'Very Precarious'
"What we are seeing in the first day of martial law has not been promising," Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Chulalongkorn University, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. "I was thinking that maybe they had a plan that the military would come in and try to find a resolution to this crisis, find a way forward, go toward elections, but we are not seeing that. So I think that things could turn very precarious and downward very quickly."
Thailand's benchmark SET Index rose 0.3 percent to 1,398.11 as of 11:17 a.m. in Bangkok, after falling 1.1 percent yesterday following the martial law announcement. The baht was little changed at 32.530 per dollar.
The army's intervention comes as a group of senators pushes forward with a plan to install an interim government as early as this week, a key demand of royalist anti-government protesters who have been calling for the nation's political rules to be rewritten to remove the influence of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He maintains influence over the government despite being ousted in a 2006 coup after being accused of corruption and disrespect for the monarchy.
Democratic Solution
The nation is currently governed by a caretaker administration in place since December when fresh elections were called by then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister. She was ousted earlier this month by a court on an abuse of power charge. The government says letting voters decide is the only democratic solution to the impasse.
"While it remains impossible to say if the Reds will turn to widespread violence, the prospect of increasing attacks and retaliatory attacks is very real," said Michael Montesano, a visiting research fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore.
The country's Election Commission will meet today to consider a proposal from caretaker Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan for an Aug. 3 vote, Commissioner Somchai Srisuttiyakorn told reporters yesterday. The commission suspended plans for a ballot in July because of the unrest and the results of a February vote were invalidated by the Constitutional Court.
Populist Policies
While elections repeatedly yield victories for Thaksin-linked parties -- they have won the past five -- his royalist opponents deride the legitimacy of the resulting governments, saying they have bought the support of poor rural voters with economically damaging populist policies.
The Red Shirts accuse the military, the courts and watchdog agencies of bias, pointing to the 2006 coup as well as the removal of three Thaksin-linked prime ministers since then in court decisions. They say the traditional elite in Bangkok don't respect the votes of long-ignored farmers in the nation's rural heartlands.
Any move to appoint a new government risks a repeat of violence seen in 2010, when a military crackdown on Thaksin supporters calling for fresh elections when a Thaksin-allied party was in opposition killed more than 90 people. The Red Shirts are currently rallying on Bangkok's outskirts.
Slow Coup
"If they overthrow the constitution, we will fight to the end," Red Shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan said yesterday after Prayuth's announcement. "If the situation eases, we are ready to stop, but only if it's under democracy."
Thaksin's lawyer, Robert Amsterdam, called the imposition of martial law the "continuation of a slow-motion coup."
"The ultimate end will be a referral to the Senate for an interim government," he said yesterday by phone.
The leader of the anti-government protesters Suthep Thaugsuban, who oversaw the 2010 crackdown when he was a deputy prime minister, said his group's rallies would continue.
"Despite the imposition of martial law, the constitution still exists," he told supporters yesterday. "So we still have rights and freedom under the constitution to fight and hold demonstrations against this dictatorial government."
Prayuth and other top generals appear to be trying to avoid a full intervention after the military's last foray into politics failed in 2006, when a junta led by the chiefs of the army, navy, air force, police and the supreme commander tore up the constitution and took over the country.
'Did Damage'
"The military did damage to itself by seizing state power by means of a coup in 2006, installing a government that underperformed, and seeing to the drafting of a constitution that failed to prevent Thaksinite forces from returning to power in the very next elections," Montesano said. "It seems to be determined to avoid further such damage."
Prayuth now has the ability to push forward the plans of acting leader Niwattumrong, who says any reforms without an election are unacceptable, or those of the group of senators seen as sympathetic to the anti-government cause, which is the more likely scenario, said Paul Chambers, director of research at the Institute of Southeast Asian Affairs at Chiang Mai University.
'Maintain Security'
"They're not going to package it as a coup," said Chambers, editor of the book "Knights of the Realm: Thailand's Military and Police, Then and Now." "The martial law act will be repackaged as simply trying to maintain security because six months of chaos has destroyed Thailand."
The senators, representing half of the upper house, have said they'll seek the cooperation of parties and the government to find a solution "with full participation of the Thai people." The Senate is the only legislative body still functioning after the lower house was dissolved in December for an election that was declared void by a court.
The key will be whether the palace gives legitimacy to any appointed government, as it did the 2006 coup makers, Chambers said.
"Once the king endorses that new interim prime minister, it's curtains for the current prime minister," he said. "No one is going to fight what the king endorses."
Echoing the divergence in potential political scenarios, analysts are split on the outlook for Thailand's currency. JPMorgan Chase & Co. recommends investors stay "tactically overweight" on the baht because the army's move will shorten the duration of the crisis. Morgan Stanley said the currency may plunge to 37 per dollar by the end of the year.
Next Monarch
"Whether or not the military comes out or whether we have or don't have martial law, our economy is falling into the abyss," Senator Kamnoon Sidhisamarn told reporters yesterday.
Beyond politics, the ongoing crisis is partly fueled by a struggle for influence over the next monarch, with some royalists worried that Thaksin has tried to gain favor with the crown prince, Chambers said. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest reigning monarch, is now 86 and ailing.
"A lot of established figures are worried that they're going to lose their economic influence," Chambers said. "So they don't give a damn what the international community thinks or even if the economy takes a downspin because their personal finances will really take a downspin if Thaksin is close to the next monarch."

A 24-year-old Whangarei woman
has appeared in court charged with neglect after police found
four scared young children home alone on Saturday
Maraea Manu Gage, of Raumanga, did not enter a plea to four
charges of neglecting a child under 18 years when she
appeared in the Whangarei District Court today.
Police previously said officers had gone to a house in
Raumanga about 8pm on Saturday for an unrelated matter.
When they opened the door the children were found crying,
with the oldest a 6-year-old girl, telling them she had been
told not to open the door for anyone.
Officers noted there was no food in the fridge or cupboards,
there were allegedly utensils for smoking cannabis in the
kitchen and reported that the toilet was blocked and filled
to the top.
There was no heating and the children did not have enough
clothing on to keep them warm, police said.
The children were aged 6, 5, 2 years, and 8 months. Police
arranged for Child Youth and Family to take the children.

Dinklage, Bernstein, Rabe for Public Theater: Scene
Theater producer Arielle Tepper Madover arrived for the Public Theater's annual gala wearing a white tulle dress by Viktor & Rolf and a jumbo heart-shaped Lanvin ring.
The event in Central Park, in celebration of Marvin Hamlisch and the creation of "A Chorus Line," was "a unique night," said Madover, who became the chairman of the Public last year, following Warren Spector and Ken Lerer.
The timing didn't hurt.
"It's very nice being a week or two after the Tony awards," said Madover, whose "Cripple of Inishmaan" received several nominations. "We've finished the season, we're now into the summer and we can sort of relax and be free and have a breather before we think about fall shows."
It wasn't exactly a breather. The gala was a long, intense tribute with more than 100 people doffing hats and kicking legs for "One," including 17 cast members from the original production of "A Chorus Line."
Almost all the musical numbers were included, which is maybe why the non-musical turn of Zachary Quinto doing Paul's Monologue was the most arresting scene of the night.
For laughs, Jane Lynch helped Jesse Tyler Ferguson "Sing" and Emily Bergl examined some of the plastic surgery in the audience while performing "Dance: 10, Looks: 3."
It was "Dinner: 8, Looks: 9" for the first part of the gala on a sunshine-dappled lawn outside the Delacorte Theater, home to the Public's Shakespeare in the Park.
Union Square
Artichoke and fava bean salad with savory granola came courtesy of Union Square Events. Gala co-chairman Renee Beaumont of Providence Equity Partners was there, as was David Geffen, in a Beats baseball cap sitting with producer Daryl Roth. Other attendees included Alexandra Kaufmann of Pershing Square Capital Management, actor Josh Charles, and Len Tessler of Cerberus Capital Management.
Courtney Love, clad in a navy Issa dress, chatted with manager Mark Subias, playwright Suzan-Lori Parks and composer Jeanine Tesori. Gerald Hathaway, Anne Hathaway's dad who's a partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp and does pro bono labor-law work for the Public, spotted Peter Dinklage, who played Richard III at the Public 10 years ago.
Dinklage posed for selfies with guests as did fellow "Game of Thrones" star Pedro Pascal, who's in the current production of "Much Ado About Nothing."
Chelsea Piers
Uzo Aduba, who plays Crazy Eyes in "Orange is the New Black," sat with Connie Verducci of Bank of America, who'd spent the day touring some of the new education spaces at Carnegie Hall, where Bank of America is a sponsor. The bank is the season sponsor of Shakespeare in the Park through 2016.
As for the chorus line: Jeffrey Kim, a trading assistant at Select Equity Group, recalled singing "One" in the sixth grade, though he didn't execute any high kicks.
Tom Bernstein, president of Chelsea Piers, said he saw the original production of "A Chorus Line" at the Public in 1975, a year after he'd graduated college.
Bernstein had spent the day in Atlanta for the opening of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, where former Public artistic director George C. Wolfe has designed exhibitions focused on storytelling. With him were the daughters of Strive Masiyiwa, chairman and founder of Econet Wireless, including Vimbai, who said she's studying information systems in college and rooting for Brazil and Ghana in the World Cup.
Ivy League
One Bernstein not present was Sam, who graduated from Yale last month as a two-time Ivy League Golf Player of the Year. His excuse: he was playing the Ike, the Metropolitan Golf Association's Stroke Play Championship, which he led after the first round.
Joshua Bell confessed he asked "Chorus Line" composer Marvin Hamlisch to perform with him on an album so they might become friends. (Hamlisch's wife, Terre, confirmed it had worked.) Donna McKechnie, the original Cassie in the show about a group of dancers auditioning, spoke, as did several members of the original creative team.
The show's history helps explain the loving nature of the tribute. Michael Bennett developed "A Chorus Line" at the Public starting without script or score, or much of a budget. Time was the ultimate gift that Joe Papp, the Public's founder, bestowed, according to the testimonials. It was a good investment: the show became a hit, and a cash cow for the nonprofit theater.
America's Heart
Oskar Eustis, the Public's artistic director, said the production "touched the heart of America" because "it was a musical about working people who wanted a job" at a time when "times were tough."
Actor Fran Kranz said he played Zach, the director in "A Chorus Line," in college. (Brian Stokes Mitchell had the role last night.)
"I like to sing and dance, so what was hard was watching them do it. I felt envious," said Kranz, adding that he'd love to be cast in Shakespeare in the Park. His resume includes playing Claudio in Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing."
"It's an elite and desirable job, more so than Broadway," he said.
"It's the greatest place to work on earth," Lily Rabe, on a night off from "Much Ado," said to guests before top hats were passed for donations.
"She's a good actress, but she's not that good," added her co-star and partner off stage, Hamish Linklater. "She really means it."
The gala's total haul: $2.2 million.

Students vow to chase the American Dream despite new reality
Students seek ways to separate themselves from the pack
On the qualitative side, Carlton encourages students to "be heavily engaged," by getting to know professors, volunteering, completing internships, and networking within the classroom.
The calculation becomes: Work hard, do well, find something that separates you from others and realistically weigh the cost (benefit) of education versus the market (opportunity) available following graduation.
"Law school is so very much worthwhile," said Vince Rampton, a shareholder at Utah-based Jones Waldo law firm. "It's still a very good bet."
Rampton said that despite the state of the economy, there's always a need for good attorneys and that the field was quick to bounce back after the recession.
"Jones Waldo had to cut back during the recession but we're moving past that now. We are actively recruiting, have people coming in on clerkships, and have the brightest new attorneys that can be found anywhere in the state," Rampton said.
Warr said he is careful in calculating the value of a law degree, with the average student debt from private schools reaching $125,000 and about $75,000 for public schools.
"If I feel like I'm going to get a fantastic education at a top law school, I'm willing to incur significant debt," Warr said. "If I don't get into those schools, I'll be happy getting a solid education at an affordable in-state school, without the debt"
The Washington Post reported that of the 44,000 law graduates in the class of 2011, only half had full-time jobs as attorneys within nine months of graduation.
Work and preparation
Diane Ward, program manager and career counselor at the University of Utah, says she encourages students to follow their dreams, despite the risk of significant debt.
"If a student comes into my office and says it's always been their dream to get an MBA, am I going to pop that balloon? Of course not," Ward says.
She listed five things she advises all students to do if they are serious about getting into graduate school or getting their dream job: Find internships, put in the time for work experience, network, create a great resume, and be educated about what schools and employers are looking for.
"If a student is able to graduate with two-three internships, they are going to be a better practitioner of the field," Ward said. "Having been out there and doing the business makes you so much more sophisticated."
"GPA is important, but it's not the end-all be-all," Ward said. "One of the greatest fears of employers is hiring someone with a great GPA and no experience at all."

I'm having trouble installing a set of custom build rpms. The spec file produces 7 binary rpms. I installed 5 of them using rpm -ivh and then decided that I also needed the remaining two. When I try to install those, rpm complains:
# sudo rpm -ivh foo-lib-cpp-devel-0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
foo = 0.7.0-1 is needed by foo-lib-cpp-devel-1:0.7.0-1.x86_64
Yet that exact dependency is already installed:

The only suspicious thing I see is the '-1:' token in the lib-cpp-devel package, which I can't explain.
What is the '-1:' and could that be related to this issue? How can I debug this further or workaround it? FWIW this is all occuring on a relatively fresh install of CentOS 6.

I will never forget that morning, going to work and seeing the yellw crime tape and presence of police vehicles in the cemetery. I will never forget Jessica Marie Schultz. At that time my own daughter also a Jessica M.S. was working in a high paying job which was also dangerous. She worked in NY and though circumstances were different these 2 young women- each J.M.S. were in perilous situations. It is still painful to me when I think of this young woman and her death which didn't seem to get the attention it should have.
This just happened to my husband today, he was a sub-contractor for Dish-Force in Valdosta GA who contracts for Dish Network. 2 years ago before getting hired he was open and honest with Hope who owns Dish force, that he had a past with a withhold judication in his background, since then we both have been in God graces. 2 days ago he went on a call to a customers house to trouble shoot a reciever, Now this reciever is not a common reciever carried by the company and net worth is over 700 for the reciever alone, which Ed felt it was odd. He did his job to the best of his ability. COme to find out this guy is an Off duty police officer, he ran an unauthorized backgound check on my husband with no probable cause, decided to call Dish-network to tell them they sent a convicted felon to his house now he feels unsafe and has to get an alarm system. Dish-Network in turn called Dish-Force (Hope) who had no choice but to fire my husbandd. Now today he comes home without a job. Acts like this I would think is Illegal.
So, basically, they admitt to giving special priviligies, to people connected to law enforcement. So far the only good thing those blood suckers ever did for me was Nothing.
Most Cops are rednecks, and hate the fact that I am Russian, so I hate them, right back.
F**CK COPS. Any Federal Instituion gets mad credit. Feds do real work, not meter maid. Crispy Creme on 163rd and 6th ave in miami. Pigs
F**ck COPs. Cheating bastards. Die.
I have two readings on this:
One, is that the FBI and its people are just doing their job. Part of that responsibility involves running down shit all day long. Constructive shit and bullshit.
The constructive shit is ID'ing & keeping track of people who are, well, dangerous. Yeah, I know, who's to decide what dangerous is? It's a pretty damn fuzzy line. Dangerous to me isn't possibly dangerous to you (literally and figuratively) - witness the misguided soul at the coffeehouse who apparently thought reading the 'wrong stuff' constitutes a crime. I don't blame these poor folks - they're like my elderly parents who are plugged into FOXNews 24/7 and go to sleep frightened pretty much every night.
But surely most reasonable people agree that someone needs to be looking out for the kinds of individuals in our society who've always been here who are plain crazy *and* have a propensity to act out on these urges through violence.
Secondly, someone needs to be looking for, God I hate using this Fox word, terrorists. Make no mistake Marc, you *were* being interrogated. The street-level FBI guys spend all day, every day talking to people and they are probably fucking good at it. They're looking for the aforementioned standard everyday crazies, as well as the possible terrorist types who have already condemned America for real/deserved or imagined transgressions and are now simply looking for ways to strike at our society.
My guess is that they knew exactly what bucket you fell into after talking 5 minutes with you - the rest of the date was just them going through the motions to cross all the T's and dot the remaining I's.
The second reading is more disturbing (at least to me) and it has to do with 'Thought Crimes'. That's when an element of society intentionally attempts to chill ideological dissent through intimidation. That's why the Librarians (bless their sexy souls..) attempted to go all medieval on the Bush administration's ass a few years ago for legislation that A) compelled them to give up reading records of their patrons (US citizens reading publications in a public library), and B) prevented the librarians from talking about it (I think this legislation still stands today, btw). Anyway, it's this thought-crime aspect of America that's more disturbing to me. If I may mangle a metaphor, a successful marriage [citizens to their country] needs to continually be subjected to at least a little stress , else it becomes a pretty flabby union.
Long live dissent - it was the thing that made us great once and may yet again.
The question I would be asking is, how did they know who you are. Answer that riddle and you will be closer to the truth of who brought the FBI to your door. From their you can answer the why they where there with certainty.
Insane politicians are a dime a dozen, but where the hell do the insane voters who elect them all come from?

You deserve everything you got, Janet, you piece of shit. All the people you fucked over through the years, all the people that you cheated. And there she is, commenting on this article years after it appeared in the paper!
Commissioner Oxendine seems very arrogant and self-centered. When challenged regarding the $25689 Ford in 2002, he said " try and stop me" from getting it. My question is was there an attempt by other state officials to block his obtaining it, and did he, in fact, acquire it ?
haha, owned Michael. Great journalism there buddy.
The first thing I would have told them was I am not talking to any goddamn federal goons and they can go fuck themselves.
Then I would have said, come back with a warrant and I'll have a lawyer. Then one more time, "Go fuck yourselves, assholes"
Anytime anyone permits the government to intimidate them and trample on their rights, you make it worse for everyone else. It's the duty of every citizen to resist all intrusions on their rights.
My guess is that this little gavotte was just as tedious for the agents as it was baffling for you. Some tin foil hat wearing pants wetter in a coffee shop, high on 4 mocha breve's, calls the FBI because some dude that looks a little like a conglomeration of photos he's seen on the nightly news bearing middle eastern names walks in with a pile of paper that he's reading intently and might be planning something. Now the FBI has to send agents out to track down the guy, question the poor sot, and figure out what he was reading because the complaint is documented and nobody wants to be on the answering end of the question if something goes wrong. Such is the truth of the matter in these situations. They aren't looking to crucify you in most cases, they just have to clear a complaint.
The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.
Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism.

I heard he got the GA supreme court to give him the ok to develop the hammocks this past Dec. Does anyone know if this is true?
Atlanta is not long known for preserving buildings or sites of historic value, and when Mayor Shirley Franklin fired the Executive Director of the Urban Design Commission (UDC), concerned citizens from all over moved to action.
At their organizing meeting on December 6th, the assembly (tentatively known as The Atlanta Preservation Group) debated issues such as how the UDC could function without their former leader whose expertise and experience was known country-wide. Would and could the UDC continue its functionality of honoring and safeguarding historic and landmark buildings and sites; and conservation, historic, and landmark districts? Sure, the City is in financial straits they all agreed, but how could this important safeguard of our history and sense of place be dropped without notice or clarification? Could City communications with citizens get any worse than it already seems to be concerning important matters that impact the very fabric of our neighborhoods and communities? People at the gathering were visibly concerned about the fate of the future of Atlantas past.
Unlike Neighborhood Nazis (NIMBY, MYOTHW)* who exist everywhere, these Community Advocates are motivated to help make Atlanta a full-timeframe environment: respecting the past while embracing the future that responsible development affords. Without these kinds of folks we would not have today the eleven (11) designated and protected Landmark District Neighbors (e.g., Cabbagetown, Martin Luther King, Druid Hills) ; nor would we have The Fox Theatre, The Academy of Medicine, The Castle; The Biltmore, Georgian Terrace, and Imperial Hotels; The Peters House, Randolph House, and Rhodes Memorial Hall (just to mention a few) all of which were threatened to be torn down so business and commercial developers could further their own interests by debasing our past without knowledge or a care in the world about where we were way back when. What would Atlanta be like today if we still had Union Station, Richs, and The Peachtree Arcade? To preservationists, what happened there is just stupid. Look at cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others that have respected their history and continue to thrive with the support of tourists and people who want to live along with the fine and wondrous architecture and venues established by thoughtful, significant construction of years past. Atlanta is a major attraction for world tourists who come to see the sights of The Biggest & Bestest Peach and our significant historical sites. Historic preservation promotes tourism and tourism generates $dollars$ for Atlanta.
Members of the group presented their concerns to the Atlanta City Councils Community Development/Human Resources Committee on Tuesday afternoon and stated they recognized Atlanta has severe financial problems requiring immediate action and expressed willingness to cooperate with the City in any way possible. They were seeking, but not expecting instantaneous answers to some critical questions, such as How can the City meet its responsibilities under Section 106 of the Federal Preservation Act of 1966 that directs how federal money can be used for historic preservation? How can citizens of Atlanta know when and how historic buildings and sites can be identified and protected? How can the City meet commitments required by the Atlanta Zoning Ordinance to guide development activities that threaten our heritage?
The group plans to organize strong resistance to what they perceive as the Citys abrogation of historic preservation and they have the horsepower and capabilities to do just that. Some of the organizations that have expressed interest or already signed on to helping the group include the Atlanta Preservation Center, Community Resource Network, Grant Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA), Payne Warren, South East Atlanta Business Association (SEABA), Druid Hills Civic Association, and others.

Cops are nothing but empowered underacheivers. I've been brutally mugged TWICE in this godforsaken city, and the APD has done nothing.
This article is HUMOROUS! It's well-written and well-crafted. How anyone can take it so seriously is beyond me. Then again, it's no surprise that a bunch of lower middle class cop lovers don't appreciate it. if you want to like cops, move to a city with an effective police force. Until then, I say it's every man for himself.

We have tried both and also just added a Sony A100 to our lineup of cameras. Attached are some pictures of our portable "Wally" unit. It's a portable unit called "StyleView Cart" (made by www.ergotron.com) that can travel easily to classroom to classroom. Just plug the network and power in and Panopto away! All inclusive unit has a Logitech Pro on top, a fast Dell computer w/ keyboard and mouse. Also included is a x-tag wireless microphone that works great in the classroom.
We want to Thank Panopto for having this forum because this is a great help for new folks to get started.

Page 1 of 1
"If only I..." Have you ever started a sentence like that? If only I had a little more money... If only I were a little more artistic... If only I had an opportunity like that... I can't think of any more paralyzing words. "If only" sets us up for failure.
"For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been." The poet John Greenleaf Whittier wrote that. While his poem spoke specifically of a lost opportunity in love, the truth of his verse extends far beyond that. We all understand the truth behind it: What a sad thing to see wasted talent, wasted resources, wasted opportunities.
Once you were far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don't drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News.
"I'm talking to you like you are sensible people. Think about what I'm saying. Isn't the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Isn't the loaf of bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body, because we all share the one loaf of bread."
Why? It's a classic question. Anyone who has raised children knows the power of the "why." They always want to know why, and we don't grow out of it. So last week, when we looked at Jesus saying, "Follow me," we looked at how his word gives us the power to do that. We never quite got around to asking that kindergarten question - Why?
"And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ."
If I knocked on your door and asked you if you would rather die than give up the teaching I'm ready to share with you, how would you respond? If I called you on the phone as you were eating dinner and told you to give up your home and your car and your relationships and follow me, how would that go over? I'm guessing not so well, right? I don't think I'd have too many followers.
My youngest granddaughter just lost her third tooth. She is grinning at everyone to show the gaps in her teeth. As a joke, I asked my daughter if she was going to buy a flipper to cover the gaps. She looked at me blankly. I guess she doesn't watch "Toddlers & Tiaras."
"Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him! Only God is my rock and my salvation- my stronghold!-I will not be shaken. My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God. All you people: Trust in God at all times! Pour out your hearts before the Lord! God is our refuge!"
They say, "Politics makes strange bedfellows." We've probably all been surprised from time to time when we see two people or groups who would normally be at each other's throats suddenly work together because they've found a common enemy.
"Look! I'm standing at the door and knocking. If any hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to be with them, and will have dinner with them, and they will have dinner with me."
"The LORD's voice is over the waters; the glorious God thunders; the LORD is over the mighty waters. The LORD's voice is strong; the LORD's voice is majestic."
Deuteronomy 31:8 says: "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
The memory is a dozen years old now, but vivid. I couldn't tell you what it was like outside, but I remember that room. I even remember what I was wearing. But even more clearly, I remember what my son looked like - a pudgy little nine-month old, in a hospital gown, snot dripping from his nose, coughing non-stop. He had pneumonia. It was awful. We were first time parents, trying to deal with a sickness we couldn't seem to do anything about. All day long, nurses had been in and out poking him for one reason or another ...

Bill Iffrig of Lake Stevens, Wash., says he will wear the same orange singlet he wore during the Boston Marathon.
Iffrig told The Spokesman-Review that he was nearly at the finish line in Boston when the first of two homemade bombs exploded.
The 78-year-old fell to the ground. A volunteer came up, followed soon after by three police officers. Photos of that scene appeared on websites and newspapers around the world.
He says the aftermath of the explosion has left him with a sore quadriceps muscle, which slowed his training schedule.

Basically the inradius of the equilateral triangle. The formula for that is
inradius * semiperimeter (half the perimeter) = area
We know that the formula for calculating the area of a equilateral triangle is s^2 sqrt 3 /4 so we get 100sqrt3 as the area of the equilateral triangle.
Then, inradius * semiperimeter = 100sqrt 3
So, the semiperimeter is equal to half the perimeter. Therefore, 20+20+20 / 2 = 30.
The formula is now inradius * 30 = 100sqrt3
So, the inradius is 100sqrt3 / 30 =
the Angel is /ABC/ inscribed in a circle center O an M radius =20cm, /AM/=10cm /AO/=20cm than /OM/2=\AO/2- /AM/2 which equal to /OM/2=400-100 , /OM/=√300 /OM/=17.33

Ralph Ellis capped a 3-under 67 on Saturday afternoon at Amarillo Country Club by draining a 32-foot birdie putt at the final hole to pull within one shot of the lead at the halfway mark of the 11th Annual Amarillo Tournament of Champions.
Ellis began the second round four shots behind first-round leader Tom Doughtie, who shot 7-under 65 in the morning at Comanche Trail Arrowhead.
His 67 was the only sub-par round in the afternoon and left him at 6-under 136. Doughtie shot even-par 70 at ACC, and will begin today's third round at Tascosa Country Club at 7-under 135.
"I didn't really hit the ball much better in the afternoon round," said Ellis, who hit all 14 fairways and 15-of-18 greens in regulation at Comanche Trail in a round of 3-under 69.
"The difference was I made some putts at Amarillo Country Club. I made a 16-footer for birdie at 15, about a 15-footer for another at 16 and the long one at the final hole.
"In the morning round, I played the par 5s in 3-under to make my score there. I didn't make much of anything on the greens."
West Texas A&M senior Josh Luongo opened with a 5-under 67 at Comanche Trail in the morning, before shooting 1-over 71 in the afternoon. He is in third place at 4-under 138, three shots back of Tom Doughtie and two behind Ellis.
Codie Scott is alone in fourth place at 3-under 139. He shot 6-under 66 at Comanche Trail, but followed with a 3-over 73 at ACC.
Two-time defending champion Will Doughtie opened with a 5-under 67 at Comanche Trail, before struggling to a 3-over 73 at ACC. He will begin the third round in fifth place at 2-under 140, but five shots back of his father.
Top 5
Tom Doughtie 65-70-135
Ralph Ellis 69-67-136
Josh Luongo 67-71-138
Codie Scott 66-73-139
Will Doughtie 67-73-140
Tom Doughtie bogeyed Nos. 2 and 9 in the afternoon round at ACC, and offset them with birdies at 4 and 15 in his even-par round.
The bogey at 2 came when he three-putted, and the one at 9 after he hit his second shot out of bounds at the par-5 hole.
"I gave myself a number of decent birdie chances, but didn't make any putts," he said of the afternoon round.
His opening round at Comanche Trail was highlighted by an eagle at the par 5 17th, and birdies at 1, 4, 9, 10 and 12.
The 10-player field, the largest in tournament of champions history, played Comanche Trail in a combined 24-under-par, with seven of the players shooting sub-par rounds.
Bobby Barber is in sixth place at 1-under 141, after rounds of 69 and 72. Michael Casey is in seventh at 2-over 144, while Reid Sidwell is eighth at 4-over 146. Kent Neal is in ninth place at 5-over 147 and Brian Bim is 10th at 10-over 152.
In the afternoon at ACC, the field was a combined 20-over-par, with only Ellis shooting a sub-par round. That figured out to a difference of 44 shots.
Today's third round will get underway at 8 a.m., while the final round begins at 2 p.m. at Ross Rogers WildHorse.
Tom Doughtie will be trying to win the event for the fourth time, while Ellis will be seeking his first win. Will Doughtie will be trying to become the first person to win it three consecutive years.

A five-state coalition of officials hope to work with landowners to prevent the lesser prairie chicken from becoming a headache for property owners and at the same time, increase the bird's declining numbers.
The Lesser Prairie Chicken Interstate Working Group, comprised of state wildlife agencies in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado, is trying to address declines in prairie chicken populations and habitat area throughout their range and are seeking input from farmers and ranchers.
Officials say the input is critical because most of the lesser prairie chicken's habitat is on privately owned lands.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has slated landowner discussion group meetings from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Hemphill County Exhibition Center on Airport Road in Canadian; and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday at the Morton activity center, located at 200 W. Taylor.
Gene Miller, TP&W coordinator for the project, said in October 1995, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department received a petition to list the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species. In October 1997, the department found enough evidence to conduct an investigation.
If the lesser prairie chicken is placed on the Endangered Species List and the bird's habitat is on private land, it can affect what landowners do on their property, according to John Crowell, coordinator of the North Rolling Plains Resource Conservation and Development Council in Pampa.
Area Texas counties with the lesser prairie chicken habitat include Ochiltree, Lipscomb, Roberts, Hemphill, Gray, Wheeler, Donley, Collingsworth, Childress, Lamb and Bailey, according to Miller.
"We think it's important for folks to come to the meetings," Miller said. "We want to work with landowners in a proactive way to increase the population and habitat of the lesser prairie chicken to prevent them from going on the Endangered Species List."
Miller said officials will explain the five state coalition, the biology and current status of the lesser prairie chicken and facilitate landowner discussion groups on what can be done to address the problem.
Area Oklahoma counties with prairie chicken habitat include Cimarron, Beaver and Texas, according to Colin Berg, education section supervisor with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation in Oklahoma City.
Berg said his department already has conducted public meetings in Buffalo, Okla., and Durham, Okla.
"The main aspect of the meetings is to let the landowners ask questions," he said. "It was very surprising how many landowners are interested in doing something in the program. I think the whole process is to get ahead of the game and improve conditions so the lesser prairie chicken doesn't have to go on the Endanger Species List."
Habitat also is found in Roosevelt, Curry, Quay and Union counties in New Mexico, according to Kevin Mannie, resident small game and wild turkey biologist with the New Mexico Game and Fish Department in Santa Fe, N.M.
Mannie said his department's first landowner meeting is set for 10 a.m. MST on April 20 at the Public Service New Mexico building in Clayton.
Bob Bruce of the New Mexico Resource and Development Council in Tucumcari, N.M., said he would like people to RSVP by calling him at (505) 461-3535 in case he needs to move the meeting to a bigger building.
Miller said the lesser prairie chicken population has been in steady decline since 1900.
Reasons for the decline include habitat loss, excessive grazing, disease drought, fire suppression, population isolation, predation, changes in crops, competition with other species, insufficient management funds, brush encroachment, loss of native plant species and habitat conversion, according to an Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation newsletter.
Today, the lesser prairie chicken is found only in isolated areas of suitable habitat in the five states, the newsletter said, and by some accounts, up to 95 percent of the original range is not occupied, primarily due to the deterioration of habitat suitability due to land use changes.
Miller said between 1940 and 1989, more than 1.95 million acres of lesser prairie chicken habitat was lost.
According to TP&W, more than 600,000 acres are suitable for lesser prairie chicken habitat in Texas but currently not occupied by the birds.
The lesser prairie chicken habitat is the arid natural grasslands of the High Plains, Miller said. This habitat comprises a mixture of short- to mid-warm season bunch grasses and always includes a brush species such as sand sage, shinnery oak, skunkbush, sumac, sand plum and other woody species.
Since the introduction of row-crop agriculture, lesser prairie chickens have begun to feed extensively on waste grain in stubble fields during the winter, according to the newsletter.
Berg said he had received reports from landowners that lesser prairie chickens have been spotted in nontradition habitats, such as Conservation Reserve Program land.
One TP&W concern is the implementation of boll weevil eradication zones, which could have an impact on lesser prairie chicken habitat. A multitude of insect-eating songbirds, quail, lesser prairie chickens and other birds could be adversely affected by the boll weevil eradication zones, Miller said.
However, Miller remained optimistic the five-state coalition and landowners could work together to ensure the lesser prairie chicken would not be added to the endangered species list.
Berg said the five states have secured a $100,000 federal grant and added $200,000 for research to learn the range the lesser prairie chickens are using, preferred foods, preferred nesting areas and types of predators feasting on the birds.
And Miller, Berg and Mannie said the lesser prairie chicken someday may offer landowners a financial bonanza in ecotourism.
"Bird watching could provide a big financial boost; people are willing to come all the way from England. This five-state region is the only one with the lesser prairie chicken," Berg said. "In Missouri, the greater prairie chicken is allowing farmers and ranchers to branch into ecotourism while maintaining their operation."

Strangercrombie Posters!
posted by December 11 at 12:01 PMon
So Strangercrombie is currently at $20,935 and rising. That's a good number. That's an excellent numberbut it isn't yet last year's total ($35,000) so keep at it.
There are still weirdly neglected deals to be had, like the poster packages (some signed, some rare, some both), which are hovering way down below their actual value: forty bucks? Eleven bucks? Shocking.
There are the Jeff Kleinsmith posters that look like this.
There are the Sasquatch prints that look like this.
There are the autographed posters that look like this.
Not to mention the Signora of Sasquatch (tickets, VIP access, camping passes) that currently languishing down at $100. You know somebody you know wants that present…

Cyanogen Inc. Reportedly Fires OS Development Arm, Switches To Apps (arstechnica.com) 124
An anonymous reader writes: Android Police is reporting that the Android software company Cyanogen Inc. will be laying off 20 percent of its workforce, and will transition from OS development to applications. The Android Police report says "roughly 30 out of the 136 people Cyanogen Inc. employs" are being cut, and that the layoffs "most heavily impact the open source arm" of the company. Android Police goes on to say that CyanogenMod development by Cyanogen Inc "may be eliminated entirely." Ars Technica notes the differences between each "Cyanogen" branding. Specifically, CyanogenMod is a "free, open source, OS heavily based on Android and compatible with hundreds of devices," while Cyanogen Inc. is "a for-profit company that aims to sell Cyanogen OS to OEMs." It appears that many of the core CyanogenMod developers will no longer be paid to work on CyanogenMod, though the community is still free to develop the software." Android Police details the firing process in their report: "Layoffs reportedly came after a long executive retreat for the company's leaders and were conducted with no advanced notice. Employees who were not let go were told not to show up to work today. Those who did show up were the unlucky ones: they had generic human resources meetings rather ominously added to their calendars last night. So, everyone who arrived at Cyanogen Inc. in Seattle this morning did so to lose their job (aside from those conducting the layoffs)." Early last year, Microsoft invested in a roughly $70 million round of equity financing for the then-startup Cyanogen Inc. Not too long before that, Google tried to acquire Cyanogen Inc., but the company turned down Google's offer to seek funding from investors and major tech companies at a valuation of around $1 billion. Cyanogen Inc. CEO Kirt McMaster once said the company was "attempting to take Android away from Google" and that it was "putting a bullet through Google's head."
UPDATE 7/25/16: Cyanogen CEO and cofounder Kirt McMaster took to Twitter to dispel some of the rumors, tweeting: "Cyanogen NOT pivoting to apps. We are an OS company and our mission of creating an OPEN ANDROID stands. FALSE reporting was outstanding."

Overclocking and Thermal Performance
To overclock our 980X we went down the manual route of configuring the CPU bus, multiplier and voltage. The starting point was 3.33GHz using 133×25 at 1.25v. Our final overclock was 147×29 at 1.4v which gave us a 4.26GHz CPU on Intel's new DBX-B heatsink, speaking of which…
Intels New Cooling Solution – DBX-B
Anyone who has bought a retail boxed Intel CPU in the past few years will be familiar with their standard cooler. It is a very basic model which adequately cools the processor with average, at best, noise levels. With the 980X Intel have attempted to take on some of the more reasonably priced after-market coolers; bundling their new DBX-B cooler with the processor.
The DBX-B has aluminium fins connected to four copper heatpipes and it features a 4pin connector with 9" braided cable. The CPU plate is also copper and is highly reflective. Attached to the front is a blue LED 8cm fan which is controlled via a switch on the top of the heatsink. Set to Q the fan runs up to 1800 RPM; at P the RPM is 2600. Intel state the dB rating at 800RPM is 20 and at 1800RPM this increases to 35dB.
Intel provide a motherboard back plate with the cooler and when installed using the screw down retention method the cooler has been tested to 50x gravity shock force. It also has a 3-year warranty and Intel provide a syringe of Dow Corning TC-1996 thermal interface material.
To test the performance of the DBX-B we took a mainstream aftermarket cooler and ran it on the 980X. As the results show the new Intel cooler is very competitive in Q/Low mode, offering similar performance to Thermaltake's £22/$40 cooler. When we move up to P/High setting on the Intel cooler the load temperature is 9 degrees cooler than the Contac 29 which is a great result.
In terms of user experience we are happy to report that the DBX-B is easy to install, though a long screwdriver, approximately 5 inches, is required. Unfortunately we have to say that the noise levels created to achieve the above results are quite undesirable. At 1800RPM (max Q setting) the noise is noticeably louder than the Thermaltake and most midrange aftermarket coolers. At 2600 RPM it is unbearable in any sort of normal environment.

For most fantasy players, it's not easy to focus on your racing team this time of year. There are a lot of distractions: baseball's Opening Day is upon us, the NFL Draft is right around the corner and, for many fantasy leaguers, football season never really ends.
Thus, it was a challenge for some of us to fully concentrate on Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway. I must admit that during the commercial breaks, I was thinking about how to move my surplus of starting pitching for some help in the middle infield. Once the race was over, it was all about baseball roster management and a checkup on Sunday's Arena Football results, which rank high on my personal sports agenda these days.
Anyway, there was a big mess at Martinsville, and at first glance, Denny Hamlin's first win of 2008 can easily get lost in the glare of Opening Day, as all it did was give his fantasy owners confidence that he will be just fine after an inconsistent start to the season. We're still without a Hendrick Motorsports win after six races ... in fact, that's not even news anymore. But there were several important items to note from Sunday's race.
In my mind, this Hendrick drought has to end soon. All four HMS Drivers finished in the top seven, and if you were able to deal for one of them before this week, you should start seeing optimum results soon. In salary cap-style games, such as our Stock Car Challenge, you should strongly consider getting Jeff Gordon back in your lineup before his value rises. If not for an early dust-up and some cars toward the back of the pack to contend with late in the race, Gordon could have claimed his first victory of the season.
Gordon, who started on the pole and led 82 laps, fell back to 31st following an early crash in which he survived with only some front end damage. In classic Gordon style, he ultimately slithered back to the front of the pack and made an admirable yet ultimately futile run at Hamlin as the race neared its finish. Gordon finished second but delivered a clear message that he's still a force to be reckoned with. His fantasy owners should look forward to his first win of the year very soon, and they should now know he can still anchor their squads. Yes, I've been hard on Gordon and his teammates so far, save for Dale Earnhardt Jr. But that's because I expect better of them, and I think we're finally going to get their best in the near future.
You can also feel better today if you're a Jimmie Johnson owner. He led 135 laps and survived an encounter with Ryan Newman to finish fourth. I think Johnson is far from a lock to win his third consecutive championship this year, as it's clear the race for the title will be more wide open. But after Johnson's showing Sunday, his owners will rest easier knowing that more strong finishes are ahead, and that's all you can ask. Earnhardt Jr. delivered another solid outing, placing sixth, and he led for a race-high 146 laps. Earnhardt is often looking like a winner but isn't finishing well enough. Once he puts together those strong runs when it counts the most, he's going to come through with at least two wins this season.
The guy who needed a quality finish the most (except for Jamie McMurray, perhaps) was Casey Mears, who came through with a seventh-place showing, his best performance so far in what has been a very frustrating start to the season. Mears' owners can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for one week, but they know he has a history of inconsistency, and there are no guarantees he will build on the outing next week at Texas. Mears still doesn't have much trade value in an FSR league, and he doesn't inspire anyone to slide him into their SCC lineups just yet. He's the one HMS guy I don't trust until I see another good finish or two.
The people who might really be squirming right now are owners of Kyle Busch, who suffered through his most forgettable day of the season so far on Sunday. Spending a considerable portion of the afternoon in the garage, Busch finished 38th, following a mediocre 17th-place finish at Bristol. Several drivers, however, encountered bad luck at Martinsville, and Busch just fell in line with the wrong crowd. You should expect him to come back strong at Texas, and you should remain fully confident that he can anchor a championship fantasy team.
Out of pure desperation to get back in the top 35 in owner points, McMurray finished eighth, a major feat considering he had not finished better than 22nd in the first five races and was coming off finishes of 40th and 43rd. I still would not put McMurray back into my FSR lineup for next week, though. He can easily follow up this one good showing with another stinker, and I am very thankful he is not on any of my FSR rosters.
Here's a quick-hitting look at some other notable drivers after Sunday's race:
Tony Stewart: Yes, he finished fifth, but his owners feel like Gordon's and Johnson's owners did during the first five races. They are just not getting enough from their best driver. Stewart wasn't a true contender for the win after his frustrating ending at Bristol, and you can't be anywhere near sure his first win of the year is just around the corner.
Carl Edwards: He ran out of the fuel at the end of the race, but he still managed to finish ninth. After winning the second and third races of the season, Edwards dealt with engine trouble at Atlanta and has missed the top 5 in the past two races. Not to worry, though. He's going to be a strong title contender, and you should keep him locked in no matter what format you play.
Clint Bowyer: He is quietly readying to go on a strong run of very good finishes. Bowyer keeps lurking near the top of the field, so don't be surprised when he wins in the near future. Bowyer has finished in the top 10 in the past three races, and it's a great time to trade for him in an FSR league, if you can. He is dependable, and sometimes spectacular.
Kurt Busch: He now has an average finish of 18.2 after a disastrous day at Martinsville and has not placed in the top 10 since the Daytona 500. He finished 33rd on Sunday, and those who have him on their fantasy rosters are very disappointed. Savvy race fans, however, know he can easily turn it around at any time, and I would not hesitate to buy low on him in an FSR league. He's simply better than this, and a win at any time in the next few weeks would not shock me at all.
Michael McDowell: I didn't have much confidence in him as he made his first Cup start, given his thin track record of experience coming into Martinsville. McDowell didn't embarrass himself, finishing 26th. That might be the best outing you could expect from McDowell on a regular basis, though, and I'm not about to label him as a SCC bargain just yet. In an FSR league, though, I'd rather have him right now than J.J. Yeley or Patrick Carpentier. As far as desperation picks go, you can do worse than McDowell.
