Dolly Rocker
'What's this song called Syd?'
'Dolly Rocker, it's called Dolly Rocker.
It's an old make of dress... well, months old,
that sort of thing.'
I know a sweet girl,
she done went out and paid for me,
then the sweet girl,
after five we went for tea.
She's seen a dolly rocker,
she want a girl she got her,
I want to see her I know I do,
I love you darling all for you.
You want to meet pearl?
shes's as cute as a squirrel's nut,
she done see me,
said she thought she got the lot.
She's a dolly rocker
I want to wait till I got her,
said she knew I know we know I do,
said she gotta see me lonely with you.
Oceans may travel away so long,
senses in the gravel,
to see yourself in home,
nice to be at home.
All I'll ever be forever,
all my life you see when you got her,
all I know, I know I show you baby,
through your head push to you baby,
is a dolly rocker.
She know what she got her,
she seen a dolly rocker,
she seen a dolly rocker,
Mmm mmm hmm hmm.

A woman accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that ejected her son from the car pleaded guilty today to an earlier case where her son discovered her unconscious on the stairs.
Nycole Jayne Pursell, of Allentown, was admitted to a first-time offender program called accelerated rehabilitative disposition in February for a child endangerment charge.
Prosecutors said her son found Pursell unconscious on the steps in a back foyer of a home last summer and he called 911. Pursell was taken to a local hospital by EMS and was later interviewed by police where she admitted smoking PCP, said Assistant District Attorney Edward Muir.
ARD allows nonviolent, first-time offenders to expunge their convictions if they complete the program and meet certain criteria. So when Pursell was arrested in the DUI case April 30 she was expelled from the ARD program, Muir said.
Pursell pleaded guilty today to child endangerment and Judge Kelly Banach sentenced her to three years of probation.
Pursell said after the crash she signed over custody of her kids to her mother and entered intensive in-patient drug rehabilitation. Pursell said she has gotten a job and now her drug treatment has been moved to outpatient.
Banach asked Pursell how her kids were doing after a "pretty traumatic period of their lives" and Pursell said they were doing OK.
Pursell is scheduled to have her formal arraignment in the DUI case next week.

While I feel terrible about the 9/11 attack on our country, there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it. The destruction of the Liberty State Park public plaza and the view of the Manhattan skyline from that plaza is something that can be prevented.
My wife and I have spent many evenings at that plaza, enjoying both the entertainment and the unsurpassed views of Lower Manhattan. Many tourists and photographers, both amateur and professional, took advantage of the rather unique panoramic vista. The destruction of that view is akin to losing a national treasure.
My wife and I would like to formerly request that the existing hill be removed and the public plaza be restored to it's former grandeur. There are other areas in the park that could be used for the memorial which would properly honor those we lost and still provide a visual link to the Twin Towers former location.

FLINT, Michigan— What does popcorn have to do with the United States military? Plenty when you add in local Boy Scouts, Michael Chaffee, Tall Pine Council executive, said Wednesday.
Chaffee spoke at the kickoff of the Tall Pine Council annual popcorn sale at Bishop International Airport. Local scouts aim to sell $1 million in Trail's End popcorn products during the sale, which begins Saturday and runs through Oct. 29, Chaffee said.
Helping boost that total is the Scouts' Popcorn for Our Troops effort. The campaign encourages people to donate $30 to $50 to buy popcorn for U.S. military service members.
Locally, more than 2,900 donations have sent $79,000 in popcorn to troops.
U.S. Army Sgt. Kyle Mahoney of Howell said receiving the popcorn helped him feel like there is a little piece of home with him during his missions in Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Benning, GA and Iraq.
"I know the stress that the men and women in the services feel every day, missing everything what they left at home," the 25-year-old said. "And to wake up in the middle of the night to go grab a snack from your fridge are luxuries the service members in the military don't get to have, so when they get a package from the Boy Scouts of America, it really brings back that feeling of home."
The popcorn sale is the Tall Pine Council's biggest fund-raiser of the year, with about 70 percent of the funds remaining in the area to support 6,500 children in scouting in packs and troops in Genesee, Lapeer and Shiawassee counties. Last year's sale brought in $900,000, Chaffee said.
"These scouts learn lifelong lessons from this popcorn sale," Chaffee said. "It is not all about money but about the opportunities for them to present themselves and market scouting and great products."
Ethan Porrett, 13, is part of Troop 368 and has been selling popcorn for seven years.
"It is fun," the Grand Blanc resident said. "My favorite part are the prizes, (where we earn) knives and stuff take them on camp outs."
Ethan said selling popcorn has taught him responsibility.
"That is important because without it you won't get anything done."

What separates the St. Bartholomew Mens Oldtimers softball league from other leagues in the area, is that new teams are chosen each year. This makes it easy to meet the 135 players, in what sometimes seems more like a "fraternity" than a softball league.
This year's player draft will be held on Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m., at the St. Bartholomew School Cafeteria, on the lower level.
Sunday practices at LaGrande Park at 10 a.m., are scheduled to begin on April 14. The practices are open to all St. Bart's players, including rookies.

From dirty dishes piling up in the sink to rocking the mom-uniform, sweatpants and a messy bun, these celebrity moms prove they are just like us.
Check out some of these pictures we spotted on Instagram from Jessica Alba to Shakira.
I guess we're not alone after all!
They Bring Their Kids To Work 1 of 7
Here's a picture Shakira posted on Instagram with her adorable son at work. She posted, "Milan and mom hard at work in the UK's finest studios." I remember one time my nanny called in sick and that same day I had a TV segment to film. I could't miss it, so I simply brought my 9-month old along. Hey, a working mom has to do what a working mom has to do right? (Here's my pic that I posted on my Instagram.)

They're Not Dolled Up 24/7 2 of 7
Sometimes us moms like to be comfy too. Here's a picture of Snooki hanging out with her son sporting a messy bun, a sweater, and leggings. When my son was first born, this was practically my uniform for those first 3 months of life. Oh that, and a nursing tank of course.

They Have Never Ending Piles of Dishes 3 of 7
See... we're not alone with our never-ending piles of dishes. Jessica Alba posted this pic with the hashtags #momrealness #neverendingpilesofdishes. My husband and I have an inside joke where we tell each other, "You lost the battle today," referring to our battle with the dishes. Sometimes as hard as we try, those pesky dishes just keep piling up. Thank you Jessica for your mom realness!

They Co-Sleep On Occasion 4 of 7
After a long night, there's nothing wrong with a little co-sleeping. Here's a picture of Roselyn Sanchez sleeping with her daughter Sebella. It's the cutest thing!

They Make Grocery Store Runs 5 of 7
With a shopping cart full of groceries, Univision Anchor Barbara Bermudo posted this picture of her daughter fast asleep while she was running errands. Sure we'd like to think they probably have people that could do it for them, but I'm telling you, they're just like us.

They Make Silly Faces 6 of 7
They like to goof around too. Here's a picture of Christina Milian with her adorable daughter making faces while enjoying shaved ice cream. I do my share of silly faces to get my 13 month-old to laugh, as well as make up the silliest lyrics to made-up songs.

They Never Stop Worrying 7 of 7
Last, but not least, no matter how old they get they will always be our baby. Here's a picture of Sofia Vergara with her 20-year-old son Manolo. This will definitely be me with my son. I promised myself that I wouldn't become an overly jealous mother-in-law, at least I'll try right?

He never got out of bed as fast as he did Tuesday his first day of kindergarten at Frost Elementary School.
It's also his first time riding the bus. Lucky for him, a familiar face will be behind the wheel. Bradley's grandpa is his bus driver.
Bradley isn't the only one who's excited about the first day of school.
"I was ready last week," says Bradley's father, Gary Summers, 35. "You don't even know. I've been counting down."
Here's how the start of Bradley's first day as a kindergartner went:
6:50 a.m.
Bradley, 5, walks into the living room of his home in Summit Township. He picks up his glasses and places them on his face. He plops down on the sofa next to a heap of school gear: a Spider-Man book bag and pencil box, neon erasers and a box of crayons.
"I got new shoes," he says, kicking up a pair of Nikes with orange detailing.
"He was excited to put on his new shoes," his mother, Kimberly, 33, says. "He washed his new Spider-Man socks his grandma got him."
Tuesday is also the first time the other Summers children are riding the bus. Their parents previously drove Autumn, 8, and MaKayla, 10.
7:15 a.m.
"Tired, buddy?" Kimberly asks her son.
Bradley nods.
"Tell me about it," sister Autumn says. "I'm tired, too."
The siblings sit in a row watching cartoons. Then, the phone rings.
"Five bucks this is Grandpa," Gary says.
Gary's father explains the bus is running behind.
"You guys better be good today," Gary says after hanging up.
"He's fired up," he says of Grandpa.
7:42 a.m.
The family walks down the road and suddenly hears squeaking brakes. The yellow bus appears and the door opens to Grandpa whose name also is Gary Summers.
Bradley leads the pack as the children sprint to the bus. He grabs a window seat and big sister MaKayla sits next to him.
Autumn sits with their cousin, Emma, who is also the driver's grandchild.
Bradley stares out the window and watches the scenery dart by, his small hands perched on the window ledge.
8:15 a.m.
"He's the best bus driver ever," says Avery Waldron, 11. "He makes you stay in your seat, but he'll turn on the radio."
Some of the other passengers aren't sure they want to be related to their driver.
"I guess it would be good," Avery says. "But if I got in a fight or something I'd probably be in trouble because he'd tell my mom and stuff."
"Double trouble," says Lindsay Harbaugh, 10.
Gary says driving his own grandchildren gives him and his wife, Barbara, also a driver, peace of mind.
And, "if they do anything wrong, all we got to do is contact Mom or Dad," he says "Problem is taken care of."
8:30 a.m.
The bus driver's cell phone rings.
"That was Grandma," he says. She had asked: "You've got everything under control with the babies?"
Less than five minutes later, the phone rings again.
"I can't talk to you while I'm driving," Summers says, and hangs up.
"That was Emma's mother," he says.
"I guess I'm going to have to turn my phone off."
8:40 a.m.
Summers pulls up to Frost and lets the other students off, instructing his grandchildren to stay behind so he can escort them into school.
"I guess he knows where he's going," Summers says as Bradley zips around the corner.
By the time Summers makes it into the classroom, his grandson is standing in front of his teacher, Dawn Koebbe.
"Bradley," she says, with a smile. "Welcome to kindergarten."

But fans of the show need no longer look to reruns to get their fix of Jerry and the crew. For today's Lunchtime Laugh, you need not look past your computer screen.
A new Twitter feed popped up this month with an idea so appealing, it's surprising nobody thought of it earlier. The account's authors tweet nothing but conceptual Seinfeld plots for the modern day.
Examples from recent days:
Elaine joins CrossFit to get close to a hot trainer, blows out her shoulder. Uncle Leo gets LifeAlert, keeps hitting it "just to test it."
Kramer fights with an Apple Genius. Elaine dates a hot subway conductor. Jerry gets an offer to "ghost tweet" the Kelloggs feed.
George thinks his GF is faking a gluten-intolerance, feeds her real cookies, sending her to the ER. AutoCorrect ruins Jerry's relationship.
Follow @seinfeldtoday for your daily dose of the show America can't seem to forget. If your alternative episode idea is good enough, the site's administrators might even retweet you.

Tentative peace talks for Thai south
By Bertil Lintner
For a detailed explantion of the key groups in south Thailand, see
Who's who in Thailand's Muslim insurgency
Geneva. But, said a Western source familiar with the situation, a year after the coup, "the government has not yet started to effectively implement the softer policy ... No one [among Thai security forces] has been arrested or detained in connection with Tak Bai or Kru Sae. Those involved have been promoted. People continue to disappear. So in other words, the policy exists in a rhetorical rather than real sense."
Lack of understanding
At the heart of the problem is an apparent lack of official
understanding of the southern insurgents' long list of complaints and grievances. Prior to being annexed by the Thai state in 1902, the three southern provinces, and some districts in neighboring Songkhla province, were ruled by a local sultan. Patani, as it was called before being carved up into different Thai provinces, had a separate identity, of which religion was only one of many aspects. Significantly, there is no insurgency in the fourth southern province, Satun, which also has a Muslim majority.
Before coming under Thai sovereignty via the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, Satun was part of the Malay sultanate of Kedah, which remained under British rule and now is part of independent Malaysia. Although currently 80% Muslim, Satun never had the same national identity and has been more successfully integrated into Thailand. Today, Thai is spoken in Satun, not the Malay dialects prominent in the other three southern provinces.
The movement in the south began, as HRW points out in its most recent report, "When Thai officials sought to control the curriculum of Islamic boarding schools (
) through the Education Act of 1921. This put Thai authorities and their policy of compulsory assimilation in direct confrontation with teachers (
tok guru
) of village-based
, who have for many years taken the role of defenders of the faith and upholders of ethnic-Malay Muslim identity." Unrest against the Thai state and its forced-assimilation policies in the late 1940s and 1950s led to the formation of insurgent armies in the 1960s.
Many commentators have attempted to include Thailand's Muslim southern insurgency to a broader global insurgency with links to such international groups as al-Qaeda. Current spokesmen for the southern movement, including Kasturi Mahkota, strongly dismiss such notions, including any links to radical regional Islamic groups such as the mainly Indonesia-based Jemaah Islamiya: "They have never contacted us," he said, and dismissed as "baseless" suggestions that Arabs from the Middle East and other foreigners are involved in the southern conflict.
He instead emphasized that there are really no differences between his PULO group and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional Patani-Melayu-Koordinasi, or the Patani Malay National Revolutionary Front-Coordinate, which are the main groups active on the ground in the south. "We cooperate at all levels, especially matters concerning the Patani national agenda," said Mahkota.
The main divide appears to be between older, more moderate leaders, many of whom live in exile, like Kasturi, who resides in Sweden, and younger, more militant cadres who have been bitterly influenced by recent abuses suffered at the hands of Thai authorities. Often referred to as Pajuang Kemerdekaan Patani, or Patani Freedom Fighters, they can, to quote an interview with a Muslim villager in the HRW report, be seen patrolling villages in broad daylight "armed with AK-47s ... Many village chiefs have been put in power with their consent and served as their puppets ... If you do not belong to them or listen to their orders, you will be dead."
So even if the tentative talks in Geneva achieve positive results, would the older leaders be able to control the younger generation in implementing an autonomy-granting ceasefire? On that score, Mahkota is optimistic: "As the saying goes, 'age brings wisdom'. Young people in the south respect the older generation." Yet it's still unclear whether that is indeed the case.
None of Thailand's new or old political parties vying for election in national polls scheduled for late December have yet to propose a solution to the southern problem as one of their electoral priorities. Whether the next elected government will have the political tack or will required to sustain the fragile peace process, which in the end could achieve unpopular results among the broader population, is also still unclear. But for the country's sake, a solution must be found to an escalating conflict that so far has produced no winners, no losers, but only victims.

EASTHAMPTON – Three people seeking to be the city's second mayor answered questions about the importance of arts, road repair and business in the first of three debates Thursday night in the studio of Easthampton Community Access Television.
David Ewing, who has been in corporate management for Yankee Candle, Karen Cadieux, Mayor Michael A. Tautznik's assistant, and School Committee chairwoman Nancy L. Sykes and former dean of students at the now Western New England University, all described why they wanted to be mayor as well as their vision for the city.
Herbert Glazier, of Everett Street, also took out nomination papers this week for mayor but has not yet filed them and did not participate. They are due Sept. 17. The city election is Nov. 5.
Tautznik is not seeking reelection as mayor but recently became a candidate for state senate. He was the city's first mayor, elected in 1996.
Bob Flaherty of radio station WHMP-AM moderated. With limited space, just eight family members and friends of the candidates were in attendance.
Tautznik announced his support for Cadieux last fall when she announced her candidacy. She said, "that the mayor and I have worked as a team. We have worked effectively together." She said she knows how the city is run.
Sykes, 71, said she believes that people haven't felt heard in the current administration and wants people to know she will really listen.
Ewing, who tended to be brief in his remarks, said he believes his corporate experience would help lead the city. He also said he'd "do something rather than talk about it. The mayor's job is to be a leader."
The candidates agreed on many issues but parted on what the city could do to repair roads and whether people feel heard when they come to City Hall.
When it comes to the city's ability to repair the roads, Cadieux said the city has limited state money - $700,000 - and with the increasing costs of oil that barely touches the need. She asked residents "to be patient with the DPW." If elected mayor, she said would fight for more money from Boston.
Sykes said the city could get more money from Boston by bringing in more jobs because the formula is based on people and employment. She also said "there are creative ways" to bring in more money for roads. She believes people in the "community can come up with some solutions not be dependent on the state."
Ewing, 64, said he would make sure "to get the most efficiency out of the public works (department.)"
Cadieux, 59, rebutted by saying the department is down two men.
Talking about resident access to City Hall, Cadieux said the mayor's door is always open and she is known as "Karen in the mayor's office.
"People come to my desk. They know me as the go to person. They know I help them out."
But Sykes said after talking to 200 people, she has found people don't feel City Hall is accessible to them. They feel "they're not necessarily heard. They don't feel they are necessarily taken seriously."
To make the office accessible, Ewing said he'd hold monthly meetings with residents.
All three supported the continued promoting of the arts, but Sykes said she wanted to promote "all the other aspects of Easthampton" that the city is more than the arts.
All agreed on the importance of bringing more businesses to the city. Cadieux said she would "throw open the lines of communication" and hold a business roundtable inviting everyone.
Sykes said the "mayor has a role by setting the tone of how business is viewed." She suggested encouraging new business by giving special services or allowing new businesses to pay lower taxes.
Ewing said he would "promote the creation of new small business in town."
The Greater Easthampton Chamber of Commerce will hold the next mayoral debate Oct. 8 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Eastworks and the Easthampton Democratic Committee will hold one Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Easthampton High School.

Lionel Messi smashed through the 300-goal mark with a brace as Barcelona crushed Rayo Vallecano 5-0 in Madrid yesterday to go three points clear at the top of La Liga.
David Villa, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas got the other goals to put the pressure back on to second-placed Atletico Madrid who play Osasuna today.
Messi's goals were the 300th and 301st of his career, a total made up of 270 for Barca and 31 for Argentina in only 419 matches. They also took him to 13 in the league this season and 73 in all competitions in 2012.
That's just two behind Pele's 75 for Santos and Brazil in 1959, and only 12 shy of Gerd Mueller's all-time best calendar year record of 85 goals for Bayern Munich and West Germany in 1972.
Rayo were pressuring the Catalans and it took until the 19th minute for Barca to have their first shot when Messi drove wide. However, a minute later, Barcelona were ahead when Fabregas picked up a loose ball and played in Villa who finished first time with his right foot.
Messi went close with a curled free-kick and as a hard fought first-half drew to a close Andrija Delibasic forced Victor Valdes into a save at the other end.
Within two minutes of the restart, Messi had doubled the lead when Martin Montoya pulled the ball back for the little Argentine who steered it first time into the top right corner.
Javi Fuego hit a rasping left footed drive that Valdes pushed wide and Jordi Amat tried his luck from distance as the home side looked for a quick way back into the match.
Xavi and Fabregas put the game beyond reach before Messi added a fifth two minutes from time.
Earlier, in-form Malaga were held to a 0-0 draw at struggling Espanyol.
The point means Malaga will remain in third position as Real Madrid, who play Mallorca today, are four points behind on 14 points.
Betis move into fourth on 16 points after a 1-0 home win over Valencia thanks to an early Salva Sevilla goal.
Deportivo La Coruna earned a much needed point with a 1-1 draw at Celta Vigo.

Student Center Blog: Multitasking Moments IN THE WOODS
William Peace University's Theatre Department will present Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS from February 13-23, 2013 at the Leggett Theatre. BroadwayWorld is thrilled to welcome one of the shows's stars, Maigan Kennedy (who will play The Baker's Wife), as she blogs the exciting journey to the stage.
Hello again, BroadwayWorld! It's been an interesting and busy couple of weeks getting ready for our production. We have little time for basic needs (like the three essentials: eating, sleeping and studying), but we do find little moments here and there during rehearsals.
For example, Dula can demolish a sandwich in the blink of an eye.
Sarah, our Assistant Sound Director, is as swift as lightening with her chopsticks.
Dalton tries to catch up on homework, but usually winds up watching sports on ESPN.com. (We have a test in Psychology on Friday, Dalton!!)
Daryl phones her mom for an emergency sock run. Mom brings the wrong socks. Daryl is not pleased.
We have discovered that Jenn is made of 98% sugar, and we're fairly certain that her skinny vanilla lattes are to be thanked, in part.
Erin likes to catch up on sleep. Dream sweet, Little Tiny.
But one of the best multi-taskers in our company has got to be Jessica Becker- ballerina, singer, actress, athlete, pageant queen, aerialist, puppeteer, prankster and loyal friend! Jessica is our Dance Captain and Milky-White for Into the Woods!
She grew up in Carolina Beach, North Carolina where her family has always had their feet in the door of the arts. For example, her mother was in a few musicals when she was younger, and she would sing Jessica to sleep with Day By Day from Godspell.
Jessica began entering pageants at age 11, and she needed a talent for competitions. This is when she began dance classes. She immediately fell in love with being able to express emotion without having to speak, because she had always been a shy, quiet person.
She has loved each of the 7 roles she's had the opportunity to bring to life, from Bertha in Jane Eyre, a Kit Kat Girl in Cabaret and now an old cow in Into The Woods.
Jess would like to thank The Clown for popping its ugly little head up during rehearsals, and for scaring the living daylights out of Jason Dula.
(Imagine discovering this bad boy sitting on the hood of your car at 11 at night. Creepy!)
Stay tuned for more adventures Into the Woods!

2015 Peterborough Mitsubishi Lancer
Experiencing the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer is as much about the pleasure of driving as it is about its complement of handling dynamics, achieved through a structurally reinforced body, longer wheelbase and wider track that enhances stability when cornering at high speeds. Added into the mix is an exceptional 4-wheel independent suspension that's kept in check by the available revolutionary All-Wheel Control (AWC) system that improves handling in all conditions.

Echoes of Oregon History Learning Guide
Oregon Territorial History
Dr. John McLoughlin welcomes the first women to cross the continent by covered wagon in 1836 (Oregon State Capitol mural).
Note: Also see the Crafting the Oregon Constitution Web exhibit for more information about Oregon territorial history.
The Pacific Northwest was the focus of a contest between the United States and Great Britain, which began at the end of the eighteenth century. Exploration by Lewis and Clark (1805-1806) and Britain's David Thompson (1811) publicized the abundance of fur in the area. In 1811, New York financier John Jacob Astor established Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River as the anchor for a chain of Pacific Fur Company trading posts along the river. The War of 1812 caused the British to gain control of the posts as well as Fort Astoria.
Competition between the two countries for the fur trade continued during the 1820s and 1830s. The British Hudson's Bay Company dominated the region. John McLoughlin, who was appointed the Company's Chief Factor of the Columbia District, built Fort Vancouver in 1825. From his headquarters at the fort, McLouglin controlled an area of 670,000 square miles. Simultaneously, however, American interest in Oregon was increasing as the region came to be perceived as a place of cheap, fertile land, an alternative to the rapidly filling lands of the Midwest.
Nathaniel Wyeth tried unsuccessfully to found the first American colony on the Columbia in 1832. Wyeth tried again in 1834. Two Methodist missionaries, Jason and Daniel Lee, accompanied him. Although Wyeth left Oregon for good in 1836, the Lees remained. McLoughlin persuaded them to establish their mission on the Willamette River, ten miles north of what is now Salem. Despite the fact that the local Indians were unreceptive to the Lees, the mission prospered and soon produced its own lumber and flour.
During the 1830s, the Lees' mission served as a magnet for other Americans who also settled in the Willamette Valley. In 1835, President Andrew Jackson sent William Slacum, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, to report on the situation in Oregon. Slacum arrived in Oregon in 1836. When he discovered that the Hudson's Bay Company held a monopoly on cattle in Oregon, he persuaded the American settlers to join together to buy cattle in California and bring them back to Oregon. In January 1837 the Willamette Cattle Company was formed for this purpose. Both Jason Lee and John McLoughlin were shareholders. That same year some 600 head of cattle were brought back to Oregon. The success of this venture gave American settlers a growing sense of independence from the Hudson's Bay Company.
Americans continued to move into the Willamette Valley. Together with French-Canadians who had been employed by the Company, there were some 500 whites in the area by 1842. American settlers began to think about establishing a government. An initial attempt, caused by the need to probate Ewing Young's huge estate, failed in 1841. A second attempt to form a government succeeded in 1843. Oregonians voted in an open air meeting at Champoeg on July 5 to establish Oregon's provisional government. This government was supposed to function until the United States extended its jurisdiction over Oregon. At this time, slavery was prohibited.
Unfortunately, this first government was ineffective and biased in favor of the Methodist mission. Americans who arrived as part of the Great Migration in 1843 were especially unhappy with the new government. In 1844, representatives of this new contingent came to power and began to form a new government modeled on the ones they had left in the Midwest. The following year, John McLoughlin, as representative of the Hudson's Bay Company, recognized the provisional government. Successive waves of immigrants arriving into the 1850s shared the same values and gave early Oregon a remarkably homogenous and cohesive population.
An estimated 53,000 settlers came to Oregon between 1840 and 1860. Most of them made the journey over the 2,000 mile Oregon Trail, which stretched from Independence, Missouri to western Oregon. The trip took six to eight months, and many immigrants arrived with their resources exhausted. John McLoughlin supplied food, clothing, temporary shelter, and even jobs to immigrants at Fort Vancouver, despite Hudson's Bay Company orders to the contrary. McLoughin did so in part because he was convinced that it was inevitable that the area south of the Columbia would become American territory. By sending settlers there, he hoped to keep them away from the Company's activities north of the Columbia River. Unfortunately, McLoughlin's authoritarian personality often angered many newcomers and caused settlers to resent him.
By 1846, the United States and Great Britain agreed to divide the Pacific Northwest at the 49th parallel- the present border with Canada. Hudson's Bay Company headquarters had already been moved to Fort Victoria, on Vancouver Island. John McLoughlin resigned his position with the Company and settled in Oregon City. Americans in the Willamette Valley wanted territorial status immediately, yet the debate over slavery in Congress delayed this step.
When white settlers began to arrive, Indians inhabited all of present-day Oregon. Whites failed to understand very much about Indian culture. They considered the Indians to be nomads who drifted purposelessly form place to place. In reality, Oregon Indians moved from winter to summer villages and encampments to hunt, fish, and gather food. In turn, Indians did not understand white customs and traditions. As a result, Indian-white relations were marked by frequent skirmishes during the early period.
In 1847, Cayuse Indians attacked the Whitman mission at Waiilaptu and killed fourteen people. The immediate cause of the attack was an epidemic of measles, brought by immigrants, which had devasted the local Indians. They believed that Marcus Whitman had introduced the disease to get Indian lands and horses. More fundamentally, however, the conflict between the two cultures caused great tensions between Indians and whites. To make matters worse, as whites came into Oregon, their demands for land increased. The Whitman Massacre and settlers' demands for protection finally caused Congress to move on this issue of territorial status, and Oregon became a United States territory on August 13, 1848.
In 1850, Congress passed the Donation Land Act, which recognized most of the land claims filed under the provisional government. Single white males over the age of twenty-one could claim 320 acres. If they were married, they could claim an additional 320 acres for their wife. Widows could hold title to land, but single women could not.
Territorial officials began their terms on March 3, 1849, in Oregon City, when Oregon was still predominantly wilderness. Homesteads usually consisted of one room log houses with vegetable gardens and a few acres planted in wheat. With little hard currency available, wheat was the primary medium of exchange. Few roads existed, so water was the quickest way to move crops and supplies. Some settlers laid out townsites from their claims. John McLoughlin was the first to do this when he platted Oregon City in 1842.
Despite the steady flow of immigrants to Oregon, many settlers were genuinely isolated. Only five newspapers were published in 1849. Post offices did not appear in most towns until the 1850s, and stage coaches and express companies were just beginning to operate. When gold was discovered in Southern Oregon during the 1850s, the government opened more roads.
During its brief existence, the territorial government was deluged with petitions from citizens who asked for laws in all areas of everyday life. They wanted divorces, schools, and pensions; prohibition of liquor; care for the insane; college charters and release from militia duty. On February 14,1859, as the national debate over slavery was drawing to a close, Oregon was admitted to the union as the thirty-third state.

[VIDEO] HB Drums Booth Tour NAMM 2011
By Andy Doerschuk
Published February 22, 2011
HB Drums snuck into the market several years ago with a unique concept – to sell American-made drums at prices so low that they are almost unbelievable. Well, believe it. While they haven't reinvented the wheel or anything, HB offers drummers kits in lacquer or wrapped finishes and any conceivable configuration at rock-bottom prices. It's possible that their timing couldn't be better.

Penn State is now negotiating with one of Jerry Sandusky's alleged victims to pay for counseling.
The only hold up is how much information the alleged victims would have to provide Praesidium, the company Penn State hired to administer the referrals.
Ben Andreozzi — the Harrisburg-attorney representing Victim 4 — said he originally balked when he learned Praesidium wanted information about his client beyond what he felt was necessary to provide counseling. But, he said, Praesidium has since said it is willing to work out a compromise.
"There were some obstacles I didn't feel comfortable with, and we're in the process of negotiating those obstacles," Andreozzi said. "I don't feel comfortable having my clients give information to Penn State about their abuse histories."
After announcing the program last week, Penn State called at least some of the attorneys representing known victims and referred them to Praesidium.
Citing a desire to protect confidentiality, Praesidium director of youth development services Britt Darwin-Looney would only say that one person has contacted the Texas-based company about the counseling. Penn State hired Praesidium to refer alleged victims to counselors near there homes. The company would not conduct the counseling.
Darwin-Looney said Praesidium intends to ask callers about the timeframe for any alleged abuse.
"If the individual cannot answer that, that's OK, we'll still provide the counseling resources," Darwin-Looney said. "Really, our goal is to help people get the help they need."
In response to questions raised by advocates for survivors of child sex abuse, Darwin-Looney gave more information about the program and the company.
Who will field the calls:
"Praesidium's team includes professionals with years of experience working with victims, including a psychologist, three licensed therapists, and two attorneys — all of whom have received extensive training in how to handle the very sensitive issues surrounding disclosures of abuse," Darwin-Looney wrote in an email. "This includes training on how to respond to minor and adult males."
How confidential will the calls be:
"The only information that will be passed on to Penn State is the estimated number of therapy sessions and the cost for those services," Darwin-Looney said. "Callers will be told this from the very beginning before disclosing any information."
Callers would not enjoy doctor-patient confidentiality with Praesidium employees making the referrals, Darwin-Looney said. Anything put in those records could later be subpoenaed.
Praesidium does have an obligation to follow mandatory-reporting laws if a juvenile caller alleges Sandusky abused him. Callers will be told this before they are asked any questions.
How does Praesidium handle the referrals, according to Darwin-Looney:
"The victim will be provided with 3 options for choosing a provider:
"1. Selecting a counselor on their own: We understand that victims may have their own therapist already. Also, choosing a therapist is a very personal decision.
"2. Receiving a list of questions useful in selecting a qualified counselor: We understand that some callers may want guidance in what to look for in a therapist, so we will provide them with a list of questions to address with the potential counselors — including their experience in working with male victims.
"3. Receiving a list of qualified, licensed counselors in the caller's vicinity, together with the list of questions to ask those counselors: We understand that some callers may want more assistance than others. For these callers, we want to help make the process as easy as possible."
Michael Boni, the attorney for Victim 1, said he's received a preliminary call from Penn State. He expects to hear more details in the coming days.
Boni would allow his client to answer basic questions about a timeframe for the alleged abuse, provided Praesidium does not seek information beyond what prosecutors have already presented in the grand jury presentment.
"It's not like these victims were holding back (when they were interviewed by investigators)," Boni said.
Before advising his client to accept the counseling offer, Boni said he would want to make sure that would not prevent Victim 1 from later suing Penn State later for greater damages, if they feel that is necessary.
Based on what is being discussed now, Andreozzi does not expect that to be an issue.
"I don't think this prejudices Penn State or my client's ability to bring a civil case in the future," Andreozzi said. "I think it is a step in the right direction Penn State is taking. Only time will tell if they continue to do the necessary things."

The Newsroom
Sep 15, 2013 10:00 PM
"The Newsroom" is a show which has elicited some strong response. It is executive produced by Aaron Sorkin and stars Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, Alison Pill, and so many more. Focusing on a cable news program, the series explores the lives of not only those who make the show, but also the news and the production of the news. It hasn't, necessarily, always been quite as insightful and witty and even-handed as many would like, although, ours is not the place to judge. We, instead, let you know that the second season ends tonight.
Past Events
The Newsroom
Dec 14, 2014TV Network - HBO
This is it, the final episode of "The Newsroom," a show which was, perhaps, not as loved by critics as other Aaron Sorkin series. Even so, HBO gave it two full and one abbreviated seasons. The show entered this last run of episodes knowing it would be the final one. This season has been building to this moment tonight, building to this episode. What will happen in it? What final message will Sorkin deliver?
The Newsroom
Nov 09, 2014TV Network - HBO
The third season of "The Newsroom" will also be the last season of "The Newsroom." It will consist of six episodes, down from last season's nine and the season before's 10. Even so, that puts the total output for the Aaron Sorkin series at 25 episodes, which is a nice round number. We do not know at this point which windmills will be tilted at, but we can promise you this, there will be windmills, and there will be tilting.

In efforts to help families and individuals with housing needs and foreclosure prevention, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development officials are awarding more than $40 million in housing counseling grants to 334 national, regional and local organizations. Among those groups, the Louisiana Housing Corporation in Baton Rouge was named as the only agency in the state to receive funds.
LHC, an agency with authority to undertake various programs to assist in the financing of housing needs in Louisiana for persons of low and moderate incomes, received $218,000.
The funds will be used for comprehensive counseling, which involves preparing participants for homeownership, explaining mortgage products, closing processes and other aspects so that potential homeowners will know what to expect in the process as well as how to maintain a budget and retain homeownership, according to LHC.
"We hope to work with individuals and communities through our system of sub-grantees in building knowledge of programs and resources in order for participants in the program to be successful homeowners," LHC Communications Director Anna Dearmon said.
According to HUD, the $40 million award will help more than 1.6 million households make more informed housing decisions or keep their current homes.
"Make no mistake: these grants will do a lot of good," HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said in a news release. "The HUD-approved counseling agencies this funding supports are crucial in helping families manage their money, navigate the homebuying process, and secure their financial futures. The evidence is clear that housing counseling works. These grants are a smart investment to help families and individuals find and keep housing which helps promote neighborhood stability in the long term."
Dearmon said LHC's goal is to service the entire state, rather than targeting a specific city or region. "Participation will depend on the number of classes we are able to coordinate, but we are hoping to reach over 2000 individuals or families," she said.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- Ten years ago, Baldwin County residents were preparing for a normal Tuesday as reports began to filter in of events first in New York and then Washington and Pennsylvania.
The Press-Register asked Baldwin officials and community leaders what they recalled of the events of that day and how it changed their lives. This is an edited version of what some of them reported.
Baldwin County Presiding Judge James Reid: "It was the beginning of a jury term for us. I had just started a (civil court) jury trial that Tuesday morning. We had already assembled in the courtroom. My secretary walked in and handed me a message. ... I had a mental picture in my mind of a little Piper Cub, getting off course. Then she came back with another message. ... I stopped the trial. I told the jury we were going to take a little break. I was going to get a little more information and try to tell them what was going on.
"I asked the jurors if there was anyone who, because of this, just didn't feel like they could continue on with the jury trial. ... I was a little surprised that they all wanted to continue on, because it was such an emotionally wrenching thing to happen.
"Before that happened I knew very little about Islam and Islamic fundamentalists, very little about Sunnis and Shiites. I just read and tried to learn everything about that part of the world and that thinking since that time."
Probate Judge Tim Russell was mayor of Foley on Sept. 11, 2001, when an employee rushed into his office with the news of the attack.
"I was just stunned and then I started getting calls from Chief (James) Miller and we were getting calls from every level for security and we had to do certain things at the city of Foley, some of which was confidential at the time.
"We got some calls from the FBI and various law enforcement agencies advising us of things that we had to be cautious of.
"I can't remember all that we did, but I just remember being so devastated. I could not believe that we could be caught in a situation like that with all of our security and the tremendous jobs that the airlines had done with security.
"It definitely has changed my outlook. I am much more cautious in everything I do now. More observant, especially when I travel throughout the country, especially to the major cities like New York or Washington. I'm much more on guard. I don't know if that will ever change."
Baldwin County EMA Director John Perrett, who also serves in the Navy Reserve: "I was at a civilian job (in Tennessee), when the information started rolling in. I recall a lot of military reserve personnel immediately being recalled to active duty to respond. What we saw immediately after 9/11 were increased security efforts. It certainly hit close to home and made us realize that we were certainly at risk and had to address the dangers that exist. I think it made everyone more aware of the threats that exist to our way of life."
Retired Navy Capt. Hal Pierce, of Daphne: "I was on a fishing trip and received a call on my cell phone from a veteran friend. I was so appalled by what he told me I just pulled the anchor up and took off. ... And I've never been the same. I had children one mile from Ground Zero. And I was scared to death for them. It was a very bad day for Capt. Hal Pierce.
"It scared the bejeezus out of me. And I've been to war. I became a lot less tolerant of other societies and other cultures and other countries and I've been to 53 countries. ... I became a lot more provincial and a lot more protective of my own country and where I came from. It was an appalling day for me."
Sister Margaret Harte, principal of St. Patrick Catholic School in Robertsdale, said she learned of the attacks when she received a call in the school office telling her to turn on the television.
As events unfolded that day, she and other educators talked to children and tried to help them understand what was going on.
"We just explained to them that this seemed to be an attack on our country," Harte said. "I remember seeing the eighth-graders sitting and watching what was going on and none of them moved or said a word. Then we prayed. We prayed for everyone there. We prayed a lot that day."
Harte said that since then, she has tried to stress the need for peace and respect.
"I've tried to teach, particularly with the children, the importance of respect, of respecting people, respecting nature and God's creation," she said. "Without that there is evil in the world and we need to be peace seekers."

"These guys have been selling drugs all over the place," Police Director Michael E. Indri said. "I'm thrilled with the hard work our team has done. We're going to do whatever we have to do to rid this down of drugs."
Adner Nunez, 50, and Victor Perez, 33, both of the 500 block of 62nd Street in West New York, were arrested around 7:40 p.m. Friday in coordinated stings.
Perez was arrested at a health store on Bergenline Avenue where both he and Nunez worked. Nunez was arrested at the pair's second-floor apartment, according to police reports.
Indri said members of the Department of Homeland Security, aided by West New York K-9 units and the SWAT team, made the arrests.
When authorities searched the 62nd Street apartment, they found several different illegal drugs, including 66 grams of cocaine and 21 oxycodone pills, and marijuana, reports state.
"I'm ecstatic that we were able to take these guys down," Indri said. "We're hoping that they never get back up."
Both Perez and Nunez were charged with several drug counts, including two counts of distribution, possession of cocaine and oxycodone, possession of marijuana under 50 grams, and conspiracy to distribute CDS.
They were both also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, which Indri declined to identify.
Both men were released from the Hudson County jail in Kearny after each posting $100,000 bail, Indri said.

I actually like that name they gave it... A Paleo Template: The Best Way To Combat Adaptation?
I would say that's correct. By refusing to kill ourselves with grains, we are indeed failing to help humanity adapt to them. But somehow, I just can't seem to give a fig. Sacrificing my health on the altar of what's good for the species completely blows.
Firstly, just want to affirm that I'm not being confrontational here
There's something spacey about Ray Peat's writings, so I can understand why he would irritate people. There is a wide attitude of "cold, hard facts" in Western culture, yet ironically, most of the people who make significant discoveries are dreamers (even Yudkin was described as such).
Not that I hero-worship Peat, or believe he's going to discover the secret of immortality, but I will say one thing: the more I adopt his protocols, the better I feel. I don't think everyone should try and eat like this, but he focuses a lot on particular hormones, like thyroid, oestrogen etc, so if you have issues with these, his suggestions really help.
I never drink soft drinks or eat gummy bears. What I do:
- Add gelatine to my coffee
- Eat a lot of dairy and fruit
- Avoid PUFA (no chicken, pig, nuts, seeds. I do eat fish)
- Get my meat from shellfish, and red meat.
Part of the problem with his dietary suggestions is that they reduce the need for cooking, so most people would be subconsciously turned off by this alone. Since I started eating more like this I haven't cooked once. I've been eating a lot of mono meals. Again, not for everyone, but I like the simplicity of it. I have digestive issues, and this seems to help a lot.
Secondly, I'm not an expert, but doesn't eating change your metabolism? I've read studies where they said that eating protein raises your metabolism by 20ish%, carbs by 4%, fat by 2%. I also saw a study where someone's basal metabolic rate was measured at the start of a 30 day period of a particular woe, and at the end, and it rose by the equivalent of 200 cals. Also, the volume that you eat changes your metabolism?
Actually, I believe that objectivity is impossible, because the act of observation automatically changes the outcome of an experiment (according to quantum physics).

"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."
- Ray Peat
Thus, it is also hard to take someone seriously who attempts to debunk anothers research when.....they have not read their research with any thought or integrity. Or even at all.

With this way, it's easier all round. It's still only an experiment for me but so far;
Extremely relaxed(bu...but sugar makes you WIRED and C-C-C-RAZY?)
10 x more energy, which wasn't bad previously but something was 'off'
Coping with stress and 'negative' stuff far more efficiently
Mental clarity through the roof, no more brain fog
General improvement in mood
General free-flow in my body
NO gas, 1st class craps every day(tbh not much of an issue previously, but I believe we must strive toward perfection or else)
Satiated - and yet I don't feel the need to eat every 2 hrs
Smell better
It's still not perfect(for me, not sure such an ideal exists but I strive) and I'm going to have to see how things play out. I may be consuming a little too much liquid.
Yesterday I ate:
leftover white potato fried in coconut oil then slathered with the stuff and pinch of salt/3 eggs/Pint of OJ with a pinch of bicarb soda
1 Cup of coffee with whole milk
4 Pints whole milk (pasteurised, un-homogenised, grass fed)
200g cheese (unpastuerised, animal rennet, grass fed)
Another pint of OJ.
Bowl of strawberries
White rice w/liberal slab of Kerrygold butter and oxtail, pinch of salt
TBSP cocoa powder(no soya Lethicin, just cane sugar and cocoa)
Raw grated carrott w/coconut oil
'Bout 3000kcals, but who's counting. As you can see, no gummy bears, no coke, no ice cream(though I do eat that, homemade shiz). That's just an example. I've done days of pure liquid, which I'd think would be a rarity. I also eat lamb liver, not much beef recently because i haven't felt the need but I love that stuff so probably soon. ~Got a bowl of cherries sitting infront of me.
Vegetables I'm really not interested in. Oh well. My Grandma's barely eaten a vegetable in the last 70 yrs, she's now 90 y/o and still riding horses.
And that's a problem?Part of the problem with his dietary suggestions is that they reduce the need for cooking, so most people would be subconsciously turned off by this alone. Since I started eating more like this I haven't cooked once. I've been eating a lot of mono meals. Again, not for everyone, but I like the simplicity of it. I have digestive issues, and this seems to help a lot.
I'd say the only problem is not people refuting Peat's research with counter-research, but people refuting his research because it doesn't fit in with their established dogma. I'm always banging the context drum, and saying that individual context matters greatly - advice given on this forum is often lacking any regard for context - which is why I like Peat's work.
"Firstly, Ray Peat doesn't just talk about metabolism in terms of how may calories you burn per hour: he talks aout in terms of how efficiently your body processes energy. He says that a body that really maximises the fuels given to it improves exponentially in all aspects. This is why he links intelligence and metabolism.
Secondly, I'm not an expert, but doesn't eating change your metabolism? I've read studies where they said that eating protein raises your metabolism by 20ish%, carbs by 4%, fat by 2%. I also saw a study where someone's basal metabolic rate was measured at the start of a 30 day period of a particular woe, and at the end, and it rose by the equivalent of 200 cals. Also, the volume that you eat changes your metabolism?"
1) I am about a familiar with his work as a 12 year old is to Stephen Hawking's. I am not looking for a protocol change because what I do is very easy and very effective, for me....that said, the theories behind it are not new, and I have never seen convincing studies or proof that they work. Like I have said before, the question is never "does this work?". The question is "Is this the minimum effective dose?"....if I can get these results with this work/hassle over here, but I could be getting SUPERIOR results with this here, I am not getting the MED. I am spinning my wheels.
2) You are referring to the thermogenic effect of food, which causes some food to require more energy to digest....I am always very leery any time I see anyone use the word "metabolism". What does that mean? Are you processing ATP faster, building more mito, what? More often than not it is a spacey term people insert in to make their approach look scientific when it is not....it's ok that it's not, but that word is a red-flag for me. I have never seen a study that shows metabolism, actual RATE of ATP use, varies based on nutrition sources. Cells simply don't behave that way....I am very open to being proven wrong on this.
The whole problem with this Danny Roddy stuff is that it is hard to measure. Especially compared to CICO. CICO is tidy but hormones are subjective. In my opinion CICO is not the answer. I've spent years working on ships alongside guys who eat the same menu and do the same work and the results are not the same. If CICO was real everyone in any kind of isolation would morph to look like their peers
I've done LC and got pretty lean but also weaker and more injury prone. My body works better on a natural diet eating carbs as well as fat and protein. Doing this I don't maintain a single digit BF but I feel and perform better, my PRs improve, joint pain goes away enjoy life more. Probably the only thing I have logged for years are my workouts and without any doubt I get stronger and have more endurance when I eat carbs and dairy.
I honestly don't believe I am meant to be ripped. I'm by no means fat or even overweight but certainly not CK model style either.
Are Danny Roddy and Ray Peat right? I honestly don't know but it is something to think about especially of you are someone who beats themselves up about not being paleo/ primal enough (i.e. I'm not losing weight anymore, maybe my beef is not 100% grass fed)
They did all sorts of poking and prodding. Ultrasound didn't show any abnormalities other than thickened endometrial lining. I'm not producing enough (or virtually any) progesterone. They started me on provera. The first GYN they sent in wanted to give me a shot of estrogen. WTF? I have plenty! Anyway, I dodged that bullet but I'm still a wreck.
I've had lifelong hypertension, but my BP in the hospital was under 100/60s the whole time. I'm thankful for the blood donations. ER nurse looked at my palms and showed me how everyone else's in the room were bright pink; mine were pale and yellow and my lips were blue. My husband is still traumatized.

I've had very little issues. I mostly play on a conquest reddit server that seems to have a fairly stable amount of players all the time. No crashing or anyhting like that. However one of maps seems to have a sound bug. I'm also using windows 7. I'm enjoying the game more then Bf3.

The game is great, but broken at the moment.
It is not just the crashes , losing game saves and all that. But there is currently also a huge problem with things serverside and clientside not being synchronized at all. As a result, you sometimes do not see opponents actions, animations do not match actions, and people are not actually where your screen is telling you they are. This makes the game very frustrating. Bullet trails appear a second after impact, things blow up before the animation of the RPG is even near them, you get shot after ducking behind cover, people seem to one shot you but that is just because they have been shooting at you longer than you can see on your screen, people shoot you even though they are in a different animation (switching weapons).
The other day I was playing a match and a guy ran around with a shotgun. He killed me a couple of times. And we both had <50 ms latency. Every time he killed me , I heard the shot from his shotgun, and saw that shotgun bullet spread animation after I had been shot.
This affects every aspect of gameplay. BF3 had this to an extent, but it would only pop up and be noticeable every now and again. Now however, it feels constant and it is gamebreaking.
In BF3 they never fixed it, and it was ok because the game was still playable. If they do not fix this, they essentially just made a very expensive , huge game with all the bells and whistles like levolution, customization, vehicles, destructability, but none of it will matter. Few people will tolerate this and keep playing/ invest into this game. I sure wont. Really hoping this is something that can still be fixed. If not, then this game is a @#$ tragedy.

sounds like just a symptom of the server prioritizing certain events, ie bullets and deaths and giving low priority to things like particle effects. although if the netcode / servers would great it shouldnt happen.
weird stuff like that used to happen in halo on console a lot, environmental effects had low priority so explosives on the map would explode before you saw them explode among others

I'm still having low fps issues. My setup can run bf3 on ultra fine but in bf4 @ medium or low settings I only get 20s or lower fps. And it stays the same even when I set it on ultra. Also have the latest drivers. Using win 7. So yeah it's broken as hell.

WTH are you talking about? They haven't milked anything. It's been 2 years since BF3. 2 years is milking it?

Yep, happens all the time right now. Same goes for being shot well after being in cover. Shooting at enemies multiple times and not getting hit markers, only to have them shoot you and THEN after you die getting the kill credit (Whereas, if it was working properly they would have died before they had a chance to shoot back). The age-old "Enemy shooting you while reloading" issue persists. Bullet trails going directly into enemies and not registering hits. The list of how broken a lot of this is right now is massive.
One of the most annoying issues regarding client/server synchronization comes with elevator doors. I get shot by people inside of elevators, while the door to the elevator still shows as being shut for me. Hell, there have been times my bullets actually showed *hitting* the door--Or weirder yet, playing with friends I threw a grenade at the closed door, watched it bounce off, yet my friend reported it going into the elevator door (Which was open on his screen) and damaging/killing people inside.
Yes, BF3 shared (And still shares) some of these issues, but they did finally get most the kinks worked out in that game to where it was playable. As it stands BF4 just feels broken and ends up being a frustrating mess; It's like they threw out everything they learned from BF3 and started fresh with netcode made of mushy pudding.

OLIVET, MI -- Former Flint Hamady basketball standout SoQuitta DeShazor is one of several former Hawks doing work at the college level.
DaShazor, a senior at Olivet, was named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Co-Player of the Week for women's basketball. She averaged 15 points and eight rebounds in leading the Comets to a pair of non-conference wins this past week, shooting a combined 14-of-23 from the field.
On the season, DeShazor leads Olivet in rebounding with 7.3 per game and is third in scoring with 11.1 points per game.
"SoQuitta played very well for us on our trip to Ohio," Olivet women's basketball coach Nicole Burford said. "She showed her versatility on offense and was very assertive. SoQuitta also continued to be a solid defender and rebounder for us, showing her toughness in those areas."
DeShazor has started all eight games for the Comets this season and is averaging 25.9 minutes per contest. Former Ortonville Brandon star Heather Lauwers also plays for Olivet and is a junior.
Olivet (7-1) resumes MIAA play Wednesday night when it hosts Hope College in a battle for first-place in the MIAA standings. The Comets and Flying Dutch enter the game with 3-0 MIAA records.

Tell me, why were you afraid of reaction in South Boston?
Well, because as a child we had encountered the um, the wrath of um, people in South Boston. And I just felt that they were bigoted. I just felt that they made it very clear that they didn't like Black people. And I was prepared for them not to want um, Black students coming to the school. Plus, which they said it! I mean, they made it very clear. The other thing was that there was absolutely no preparation made for this transition. Um. There were a couple of um, ah, athletes and other people who would go on TV and they would say, you know, "We have a--this thing that we have to, hap--have happen in our city. We're going to be busing kids and so forth and so on. And um, we have to be brave about it." And you say to yourself, "Well, what are they expecting?" Here were little children that were going to a school and they were talking about being brave as if some alien from some planet was coming into the school. I never heard any public official on the state level or on the city level come out and say, "This is a good thing. We should all learn together. We should all live together." There was no encouragement from anybody. I call it complete official neglect. And so therefore there was no preparation being made. Then those of us who knew the police departments and so forth felt that, many of them lived in South Boston. And how were they going to divide their loyalties? And so we felt that this was not going to be a happy occasion, and we were right.
