Hello troops,
I have a random question...
My girlfriend is a student at the Academy Of Art here in San Francisco and is in need of some assistance on her final project for this semester. She is working on her digital printing portfolio and is taking a "dyptich" style approach by shooting people in armor or other costumes and their regular everyday clothing, be it their work-wear, street wear, or anything that they wear on a day to day basis.
She has already shot a couple people from the local 501st chapter, the Golden Gate Garrison and some from the Local Rebel legion base. She is in need of a few Fetts, clones, troops, or sith lords to fill out the portfolio. We already have a few Jedi, a biker scout and she will be shooting a Stormie and a Tie pilot today.
She needs to have the shots done this week so she can print and will be shooting this Tuesday or Wednesday sometime after 5 or 6pm, the day is still pending.
If anyone is in the area and can contribute, you would be a lifer saver for her and her final.
If you would like to see some examples, have any questions an or are interested , please feel free to drop her an email at : email@example.com .
I know it's kind of last minute, but she is kind of in a bind.
Thanks for your time
Fett-415, Lou

This is a picture of the Safeway Grocery Store employees in
They were married January 25, 1958 in Desdemona, Erath Co., Texas and spent 27 wonderful, happy years together. My father died of lung cancer on April 8, 1985 and Mildred died with Alzheimer's disease on May 4, 2001. She never remarried.
A Puckett cousin of mine wrote me the following, "That is neat, Judy! You know, we have a plaque on the office wall at the IGA grocery store where I work that says "You really can meet the man of your dreams at a Grocery Store!"
Looks like my step-mom did just that!

When Kevin Long and George Raska talk about their daily routine, they interrupt each other with excitement. They mention the sunshine, the healthy food, the educational opportunities, the trust not exactly what you'd expect to hear from a couple of inmates at a county jail.
But, as Sgt. Michael Johnson said, the Salt Lake County Jail's horticulture program "is about as different as you can get" when it comes to the realm of corrections.
The Excellence in Gardening program, which consists of 10 hours of class time and months of hands-on experience, is designed to instill in inmates a work ethic and teach them job skills as they maintain the jail's 1.5-acre organic garden. The inmates maintain the garden in shifts, with half of them working in the morning and the other half taking over in the afternoon. Only minimum-security, nonviolent offenders are selected for the program.
The inmates receive initial training from Katie Wagner, an assistant professor at Utah State University's extension program, and two horticulturists help guide them through their daily tasks. Other than that, the inmates are responsible for the upkeep of the garden. They pull weeds, amend the soil, monitor the irrigation system, identify and eliminate pests, harvest the produce and sell it at the Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays.
Raska, who was incarcerated in January, has worked in the garden for just over a month and gushes about it at every opportunity.
"It's a great program," he said. "It really is. There's freedom involved. You feel like a regular human being, not just an inmate. Plus I'm paying back my debt to society, and that's the most important thing."
Long, who has been in jail for four months and in the horticulture program for two, echoed those sentiments.
"All the sergeants, all the officers, they're great when they come out here with us," Long said. "It really does make you feel more like a man out here to be entrusted with this responsibility. This is the one program desired by every inmate. This is the program that everyone wants to be in, and there's only 16 of us out of 2,300."
Long said he initially thought the garden was a myth, and he and Raska were thrilled when they were selected for the program. Without it, they would have to endure a life more typically associated with jail life.
"It's almost like the movie 'Groundhog Day,' " Raska said of jail. "If you don't have a good job assignment, you just have to try to find a way to fill all those hours on a daily basis. It's a pretty monotonous routine."
"Sometimes it is really difficult to find something to entertain your mind," Long said. "That's why it's such a blessing to come out here."
While the gardening is therapeutic for the inmates, Wagner said the most rewarding part of the program for her is watching them interact with community members at the Farmers Market.
"These guys, the first time they go to the Farmers Market, they're really nervous," Wagner said. "Can you imagine showing up at the Farmers Market wearing a prisoner's outfit, being in this community setting? They're really a little bit nervous and they're worried about how the community is going to treat them, how they're going to perceive them being there. And then they just get embraced and people are so happy to see them and they come up and engage them and they compliment them on what they're doing."
Raska agreed that the community interaction is important.
"There's a lot of preconceived notions about jail and being locked up, but I think it maybe does away with those myths that we're all bad people," he said.
"We're people, too," Long added. "We just made some bad choices."
To help the inmates recover from those bad choices, the jail started the horticulture program in 2007. It was eliminated for several years after budget cuts, but it was brought back in 2011. The jail enlisted Wagner's help, and, since then, the garden has become more and more complex each year.
The first year Wagner was involved, the inmates grew a basic crop of beans, corn, pumpkins and potatoes. In 2012, the program expanded, bumping the inventory up to 50 crops. It has become even more ambitious this summer, with 80 crops on the menu. The inmates continue to grow the basics from the 2011 season, but Wagner said it's their inclusion of unusual items, such as dried heirloom beans and lemon grass, that helps make the garden financially successful.
"One of the ways we can really set this program aside so that we're not in such direct competition with some of those other growers [at the Farmers Market] is to try to grow some things that are a little more unique and outside the box," Wagner said. "We try to grow things that other people aren't growing already."
This strategy has helped provide the community with rare crops while also boosting the garden's sales, which go back into the jail's general funds budget. The program made about $16,000 at the Farmers Markets in 2012, and with Saturday sales around three to four times higher this summer, Sgt. Johnson expects this year's total to greatly exceed that mark.
He stresses that making money is not the point of the program.
"It's all about trying to help these guys out," Johnson said, "and trying to give them a leg up so that they don't have to keep coming back here."
Raska, 37, and Long, 34, say they are determined not to return to jail once they get their fresh start. They both received one-year sentences Raska for possession of methamphetamine and attempted robbery; Long for possession of stolen property but thanks to good behavior, they will be released Oct. 26.
On the outside, Raska said he wants to go to school and eventually become a counselor. Long isn't sure what career field he wants to get into, but he does plan to use the skills he has learned in the horticulture program.
"I'm definitely going to plant my own garden," Long said. "I've got a baby boy on the way, and unfortunately I'm watching the pregnancy through the glass. But he [will be] born in September and I'm out in October. I'll have a lot of things to teach him and my whole family. These are things I never thought I'd be learning, but I'm really thankful for the opportunity."

27 Years for USAF Recruiter
An Air Force recruiter who was charged with sexual offenses with women who entered his Houston area recruiting station was sentenced today to the longest prison term yet in the sex scandal which has prompted calls in Congress for major changes in military operations.
Brent Boller, a spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, where the court martial of Tech. Sgt. Jaime Rodriguez took place, says a military jury sentenced Rodriguez to 27 years in prison.
"In addition, he received a dishonorable discharge, and a reduction in rank to the lowest rank in the Air Force, Airman Basic," Boller said.
Rodriguez pled guilty to engaging in or attempting to engage in unprofessional relationship, as well as adultery, which is a felony under the Uniform Code of Miltiary Justice.
Boller says the jury convicted Rodriguez of aggravated sexual assault, abusive sexual contact, indecent exposure.
He could have gotten 116 years in prison, but Boller says the 27 year sentence was a surprise.
"Interestingly, the prosecution had asked for 25 years confinement, but the jury came back with 27 years."
Rodriguez was a recruiter and not an Air Force Basic Training Instructor, but his case was included in a sweeping sex with recruits scandal which has prompted several Congressional hearings, has led to major changes in the way young men and women receive basic training in the Air Force, and has left the top commanders of all the miltiary forces in the Congressional spotlight over their handling of sexual predators in their ranks.
21 Air Force basic training sergeants have faced courts martial for charges ranging from having inappropriate sexual relations with female recruits to rape. One of the sergeants who was convicted was a woman who was charged with having inappropriate relationships with male recruits.
While the basic training instructors offenses involved active duty Air Force members, Rodriguez was convicted of preying on civilian women who entered his recruiting station to inquire about joining the military.

Hello, i am new to the forum and to goose hunting in particular. i have a few friends i hunt with but they wont get up off their behinds to come early goose hunting with me. so far its just me and a buddy of mine and i only have a couple spots scouted out. yesterday was the opener and we shot 6 geese but only had 1 large group do a flyby over our deeks. i tried to go to allot of the golf courses and farms with turf/corn and whatnot but everywhere either said "no" or "we have people that hunt it already" i was wondering if anyone had any places either rivers or ponds, fields that might produce. i live in Bradford and places to save gas is appreciated ha ha. unless anyone wants to take me and my friend out we aren't bad shots and we respect the "game"
if anyone has any pointers I'd be appreciative its tough to jump into a game dominated by allot of hunters already.
PS: I have a 16ft LOWE duck boat with Avery popup blind. so if you take us goose hunting i can show you allot of duck spots later on ha ha.

When the Seahawks are on offense:
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson has looked like anything but a rookie at home. He's thrown nine touchdowns to no interceptions and is 4-0 at CenturyLink Field. Wilson has been very good at adjusting on the fly when plays break down, so the Jets' defense must maintain stout coverage on his receivers to give its mediocre pass rush time to chase him down.
When the Seahawks are on defense:
Seattle's defense is extremely aggressive. Its big cornerbacks in Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner aren't afraid to play physical with opposing receivers and have a knack for forcing fumbles. Also, the Seahawks have amassed 25 sacks thanks to a deep and well-rounded front-seven.
A Seahawks strength:
Steadiness at running back. The Seahawks are averaging 138.9 rushing yards a game, which ranks seventh in the league despite having the third-fewest rushes of 20 yards or more. They have Marshawn Lynch and his stellar yards-after-contact work to thank for that.
A Seahawks weakness:
While Wilson has been mistake-free at home, Seattle's passing offense overall is its biggest weakness. The Seahawks' receiving corps is so-so, and Seattle has lacked the ability to make big plays downfield on a consistent basis, which has put more pressure on the run game.
Matchup to watch:
Mark Sanchez and the Jets' offensive line vs. Seattle's pass rush. Sanchez has been one of the most anemic passers in the league when under duress, and he's seen plenty of heat this season with a leaky offensive front guarding him. With the 12th Man at full volume and the Seahawks' front-seven in attack mode, Sanchez could be in for a long day.
Final thoughts:
I think the Rex Ryan will have the Jets coming out firing on all cylinders after and embarrassing loss before the bye, and I expect the special teams group to redeem itself after a deplorable showing against the Dolphins. It'll be closer than most are predicting.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
Guilty or not, it doesn't matter. People believe what they want and will persecute based off of what supports their bias. I honestly believe that biased Steeler fan base has been so vocal over the years that they are responsible for perpetuating Ray's guilty of murder in the Atlanta incident nationwide. They perpetuate that Ray had the bloody knife is his hand despite known facts. The same hateful fan base is already making noise on this.

On the two nights before the Jan. 9, 2012, BCS national championship game, a handful of Alabama players in crimson and gray sweats made their way to room 612 in the New Orleans Marriott. A few brought family members, but most arrived in clusters with teammates. They came in search of an edge.
The room belonged to Christopher Key, who was in town to demonstrate the wares of S.W.A.T.S. -- Sports with Alternatives to Steroids -- a two-man company run out of the back of a gym near Birmingham.
Unbeknownst to Crimson Tide coaches, S.W.A.T.S. had an audience with players on the No. 2 team in college football, a gathering that Key taped with a pen camera and showed to SI. He handed out some of the company's products gratis -- "It should never come up, but I'll go to the grave saying you bought this," Key told them -- and one, linebacker Alex Watkins, six months later gave a video testimonial on YouTube citing the boost he got from the chips, water and deer-antler pills during Bama's 21-0 BCS title victory.
It was a good night for S.W.A.T.S. in its ongoing quest: to land the sort of high-profile endorsement that could propel a two-man -company -- even one that has been shunned, shuttered and successfully sued for $5.4 million, as S.W.A.T.S. has -- into serious profitability.
Modern science may scoff at holographic stickers and negatively charged water, but that matters little if the right athlete becomes a believer or, better yet, a proselytizer. The boundaries of medical science expand at too glacial a pace for many athletes desperate to enhance their performance. That desperation, in turn, represents a business opportunity for self ordained sports science entrepreneurs operating in the shadowy, multibillion-dollar athletic-supplement industry. Key had given some of S.W.A.T.S.'s chips to LSU players before their 9-6 victory over Alabama in November 2011; that helped him get an audience with the Tide players, who received some of the same S.W.A.T.S. products that outfielder Johnny Damon, golfer Vijay Singh and linebacker Shawne Merriman have used. S.W.A.T.S.'s most famous client, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, enters Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday after speaking with Ross in October to request items that would speed his recovery from a torn right triceps.
Why so eager to have a recording of everything? A pen camera? Really?
Lewis would be dumb enough to directly call this guy and say "pile it up and send it to me"? Really? He wouldn't insulate himself at all from the transactions? Maybe he will say he didn't see anything wrong with it????
If IGF-1 is banned and you eat deer antler extract which contains IGF-1, then you just consumed a banned substance. Plain and simple. How could you not think that would come back to bite you?
Not good to see Merriman listed either.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
So what if Ray did? A 37 year old turning to sports science to repair his body to compete with men 15 years younger than him. From how the national media talk about Ray losing his ability to play football because of his age one would have to assume that drugs aren't helping at all. NFL players are using drugs to enhance their physical ability (except Todd Heap) to the point where it's a non-story unless someone has an agenda and wants to call it out. To me this is just like holding, it happens on every play it just doesn't get called very often.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
I am beginning to hate what football is becoming in this country. From fans who spew ignorance and hate to the media digging up crap just to have a story. Mike Florio is the lowest piece of trash known to mankind. He has always hated on the Ravens. Everyone wants to discredit the Ravens in some way this week from Flacco to Ray. I've had it and I won't be watching the sports coverage OR fan forums (other than the Ravens forums). Bunch of jealous haters who don't have a fucking life...pardon my french but this shit brings out the worst in me.

Jeeze, let it go… The fact that the NFL has banned deer antler velvet is absurd. Its all natural and non toxic to the system. It is NOT igf-1… deer antler velvet naturally contains a wide variety of amino acid profiles. igf-1 is one of them, but its far from the lab engineered version, and dosed at a level so low that studies and scientist claim it should have ZERO effect on muscle development.
How about you give a guy some credit for bein a warrior and working through an injury everyone wrote off as season, maybe career ending. The guys a beast, i doubt a little bit of deer antler velvet spray is the reason he is what he is.

I'm not sure thats brood. It may be bee bread under the caps.Lets wait for someone with a keen eye to comment.
If Specialkayme really wanted to save them and he cut out the fermenting comb, and reduced the volume of the hive to just what they could cover would they have a chance?
The package I first installed in my OB hive made it through 2 winters with no problems. When it is too cold to go outside and cleanse the hive activity slows down too a crawl. My OB hive finally dwindled at the end of last summer and a huge swarm moved in. It was in there until fall and finally moved out leaving the hive empty for the first winter since we got it.I can't wait to replenish it in the spring.
my observation hive is 5 frames. they got down to about 1 1/2 frames (both sides) over the winter. they queen is now laying like gangbusters and they are quickly expanding. .
Problem solved . . . sorta.I drove out to TN last friday and bought five hives from a guy that was getting out of the bus. Today I opened them up to check them out, grabbed a frame of nurse bees, and shook them into the OH. I walked away to check on the rest of the hives. When I came back about 10 min later, the queen was dead as a doorstop. Those nurse bees were not interested in her staying alive, and were all over her body stinging her. There were too few of her attendants to save her. Kinda sad to watch.So I just took the queen from one of the other hives, put her in the OH, then combined the rest with the weakest hive I had.In hindsight, I guess I should have taken the nurse bees away from their queen for a day or two before I put them into the OH, but I was afraid with the outdoor temps they wouldn't have lasted through the night.

Stern v. Cosby, et al.
Our Sponsors
Howard K. Stern filed a lawsuit claiming that he was defamed by passages in a book titled Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind the Death of Anna Nicole Smith. Lambda Legal's friend-of-the-court brief argues that Stern's first two claims of defamation rest on the flawed premise that being called gay would expose someone to public hatred and shame.
Contemporary New York public policy and case law regarding gay men and lesbians accord these members of the community substantial legal respect and prohibit treating them as shameful and odious. Because New York law and public policy affirm that it is neither shameful nor disgraceful to be identified as lesbian or gay, it is not defamatory per se to describe someone as gay.
Lambda Legal's Impact
Validation of this type of defamation claim, and its underlying premise, would have a demeaning effect on gay men and lesbians, similar to the effect caused by state sodomy laws before they were struck down by Lambda Legal's 2003 U.S. Supreme Court victory, Lawrence v. Texas. The Plaintiff's claims are out of step with New York law and public policy, which have repeatedly affirmed the rights and dignity of gay men and lesbians.
- October 2007 Plaintiff files complaint.
- December 2008 Defendants move for summary judgment. One of the arguments raised is that it is not defamatory per se under New York law to state that someone is gay or lesbian.
- January 2009 Plaintiff opposes summary judgment, arguing that he was defamed per se by statements, among others, describing him as gay.
- March 2009 Lambda Legal files friend-of-the-court brief, arguing that Plaintiff was not defamed per se when he was described as gay.
- August 2009 Victory! The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York rejects Stern's claim that merely being described as gay is defamatory per se.

Preschool and elementary school children and their families are among those at the greatest risk of exposure to head lice. Girls get head lice more often than boys and women more than men. Head lice is most often found on the scalp behind the ears and near the neckline at the back of the neck. The lice hold onto hair with the hook-like claws they have at the ends of each of their six legs.
The Signs
How do you know if your child has head lice? These signs are a good indication:
- Feeling of tickling or crawling in hair
- Itching or scratching
- Irritability, especially at night
- Sores on the head due to scratching
- Eggs or lice seen in the hair
Where Do the Little Critters Come From?
The most common causes of head lice include:
- Having contact with an already infested person during play at school or home
- Using infested combs, brushes, or towels
- Lying on a bed, couch, pillow, carpet, or stuffed animal that has recently been in contact with an infested person
No School?
Generally, it is not necessary to miss school since it is not likely to spread in a classroom setting. Each district may have its own policies however, so check with officials before sending your child to school.
How to Get Rid of the Little Critters
When you find head lice, spring into action as quickly as you can. Your first priority should be to get rid of lice eggs, called nits, in order to end the life cycle.
If your doctor recommends a shampoo, follow the directions carefully. Then wash all bedding and clothing in hot water and dry them in a dryer using high heat. Vacuum floors, beds, chairs, car seats, and headrests—any place that the person with lice has been. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 5-10 minutes.
It is important to use appropriate products to treat lice.
Examples of medications used to treat head lice include:
- Over-the-counter products, such as those containing pyrethrin or permethrin
- Prescription products, such as lindane and malathione—These may be prescribed because some cases of head lice are resistant to pyrethrin and permethrin.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes a warning on prescription shampoos and lotions containing lindane because, in rare cases, it can cause serious side effects, including seizure and death. Those especially at risk include:
- Infants
- Young children
- Elderly
- People weighing less than 110 pounds
- People with certain skin conditions
A fine-toothed comb designed to capture and remove the lice and nits often comes with the medicated shampoo. A lice comb is essential for lice detection and removal. The teeth of the comb should be long and tapered and set so close that combing removes virtually all lice and nits. This comb can be used to check for the presence of the lice after treatment
Beware Unproven Treatments
Herbal Remedies
There are many unproven head lice remedies. The biggest problem with using these herbs is that if they do not work, the head lice population can increase unchecked, worsening the infestation and associated symptoms. Further, they are not regulated by the FDA.
Some herbal remedies, though, have shown to be effective in clinical trials. An example is a spray that contains coconut oil and anise. If you are unsure of which product to use, talk to your doctor.
Other Treatments
Others are experimenting with suffocating the head lice by covering the hair with vasoline, mayonnaise or olive oil and wrapping the head in plastic wrap overnight. There is no evidence that these methods work either. Though the multiple shampooing required to remove the oil from the hair may help with removal it can also irritate an already itchy head.
Tips for Preventing Head Lice
There are ways to prevent getting head lice. Some steps you can take include the following:
- Avoid hair-to-hair contact
- Do not share clothing or hair accessories
- Do not share combs, brushes, or towels
Keep Checking
Some people report that despite vigilance and treatment, the lice keep coming back. Be sure to continue checking for lice regularly. If the treatment did not work, let your doctor know as another medication may need to be used. As much as no one wants to reveal that they have head lice, it is important to warn friends who may have been exposed. After spending weeks to eliminate the lice, you do not want your child to pick it up all over again.

The Canisius softball team closed out is west coast Spring Break trip with a pair of wins on the final day of the Loyola Marymount Invitational II, as the Golden Griffins defeated Dartmouth 4-2 before knocking off host Loyola Marymount 3-1 in the nightcap. Canisius is now 6-16 on the year.
Canisius senior pitcher Jen Consaul earned both wins in the circle for the Blue and Gold to improve her record to 5-9 on the year. She threw two complete-games on Saturday and allowed a total three runs while fanning seven opposing batters on the day.
In the 4-2 win over Dartmouth (10-11), the Griffs trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the first, but Canisius scored three times to take a 3-1 lead after one inning of play. Freshman Jessica Berzins led off the home half of the first with a triple, and she later scored on a fielder's choice by junior Robin Kennery to knot the game at 1-1. Sophomore Bethany DeMarco drove in two runs with a base hit to right center that allowed Kennery and freshman Lindsey Silfer to cross the plate. Canisius took a 4-1 lead in the third on an RBI-single by senior Valorie Nappo. Dartmouth scored a single run in the sixth to cut the Blue and Gold's cushion to 4-2, and the Big Green had the bases loaded with two outs in the seventh, but Consaul got Dartmouth's Alyssa Jorgensen to line-out to third to end the game.
Eight different Canisius players had a hit in the victory, with sophomore Meghan Cuda registering a double and Berzins recording her triple in the first. Silfer and junior Michelle DelPrince also had stolen bases in the win for Canisius.
In the second game, Canisius trailed Loyola Marymount 1-0, but tied the game at 1-1 in the second on an RBI-single by DeMarco. The Griffs took the lead for good in the fifth on a solo homer by Cuda, her team-leading fourth home run of the year and an RBI-double off the bat of Kennery. Canisius had seven hits in the win over the Lions, led by Cuda's 3-for-3 day which also saw her score a run as well.
The Griffs will play their first games in Western New York next Saturday, March 29, when the team opens MAAC play at Niagara. The first game of the MAAC twinbill is set for 1 p.m., in Lewiston, N.Y.

Management and use
To ensure access to appropriate medical devices, proper management and use of medical equipment must be considered. This area is often referred to as clinical engineering or health-care technology management. The management process begins with understanding the needs of the country, region, community, or facility and ends with decommissioning. In between, the process consists of good procurement practices, appropriate donation solicitation and provision, logistics of delivery and installation, inventory management, maintenance, safe use and training, and measurement of clinical effectiveness.
WHO recognizes the importance of medical device management in contributing to the provision of quality health care and thus, under the Global Initiative on Health Technologies began developing tools and resources for Member States in this critical area. The first products to be published are available here with the remaining documents to follow.

Ride the Wilds
North Country's 1,000-mile ATV trail opens
By BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader | June 19. 2013 8:40PM
New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan cuts the ribbon June 15 at Coleman State Park to open the "Ride the Wilds" 1,000-mile ATV trail through Coos County. With her is Harry Brown, president of the North Country Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle Coalition. (COURTESY)
The effort is the cornerstone of the more than $2 million in combined projects aimed at expanding ATV trails — and new economic opportunities — in the North Country. A main selling point of the effort is that ATV riders can now make long-distance trips to New Hampshire without having to stop, leave the trail and haul their machines over land as riders had been forced to when trails were broken up by impassable stretches.

bad Sherdog meff thread...
And chocolate I try not to be bias but its really hard not to be sometimes I just write it how I see it and I should be praised for having a fresh point of view and not the same run of the mill opinions that you read on most MMA forums. All I can do is try my best to enlighten stale cases like Grizzly and hope they wake up and see the sunshine that is written. After all you can take the horse to water but you cant make it drink.
Rulon Gardner - $1 millon to fight fedor - i would of have had a go for that kind of money - granted i would of lost - but hey that's life changing money . Rulon could of kept his hands up and just tried to out wrestle/grapple fedor - and even try to suplex fedor like kevin randleman did or tried a leg takedown -... but yes fedor would of won no doubt... but then who thought rulon would of beat Alexander Karelin??? !
Moving on from rulon gardner..
mikhail illoukhine - beat igor vov (massive igor fan me) and randy couture ... never got the exposure he deserved and fought randleman not in his prime.
on a side note what's happening with Blagoi Ivanov ?? - the sambo guy who beat fedor in sambo??
Alexander Volkov is also maybe one to watch out for..

Arsène Wenger has reshuffled his pack once more for his side's trip to face Olympiacos on Tuesday.
The Arsenal manager has made nine changes from the team which brushed aside Wigan Athletic on Saturday, with only Thomas Vermaelen and Andre Santos remaining in the startling line-up.
That means Lukasz Fabianski is handed another start between the posts, with Johan Djourou and Sebastien Squillaci drafted into the defence.
The midfield who performed so well against Manchester City in the Carling Cup remain, with Yossi Benayoun playing just ahead of young duo Francis Coquelin and Emmanuel Frimpong.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andrey Arshavin will provide the width for striker Marouane Chamakh.
Team in full: Fabianski, Djourou, Vermaelen, Squillaci, Santos, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Arshavin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh.

As a subject of the oil boom in the middle east, Bahrain has enjoyed an economic surge, and tourism has followed as a natural result. You can expect to encounter beautiful beaches, a high-tech environment complete with an urban lifestyle, and exceptional Manama hotels. Bahrain is a rich country, and it's also very metropolitan too.
Some of the most important buildings in Manama are the Bahrain World Trade Center, followed by the Bahrain Financial Harbor. There's also the Almoayyed Tower, which has a notable dark blue appearance. Culturally, there's the Al Fateh Mosque, which plays an important role in the country's religion and is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The hotels in Manama are incredible, but some are very expensive. If you want to stay in Bahrain without destroying your capital, you should compare listings for discount Manama hotels at EasyToBook.com.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Mutations (mew-tay-shuns) are misspellings or changes in the genetic code. They're pretty rare; only about one mutation occurs for every 1-10 million DNA bases.
But microbes reproduce very quickly. For example some bacteria can divide every nine minutes. And the entire DNA string or genome (gee-nome) of microbes is relatively small. For example, the average bacterium has only about five million DNA bases. So in each new generation of bacteria, there may be one or two mistakes in the genetic code.
Some mutations are random "mistakes." They can occur when a microbe is exposed to radiation or chemicals that cause changes in DNA. Microbes, like us, have DNA repair proteins that, like a mini construction crew, work hard to repair any such mistakes. They don't always catch every mistake, however.
Other mutations result from a change in a creature's circumstances. For example, if the temperature starts getting hotter and hotter, "jumping genes"—pieces of DNA that can move around—may pick up and move to a new place in the microbe's DNA. This switch may result in giving the microbe a new genetic trait—like greater heat tolerance—that helps it adapt and survive better. It's like a homebuilder who, upon realizing that he's building in a hurricane-prone area, decides that the heavy oak wood he planned to use for hardwood floors is more urgently needed to build the beams that support the house, so he changes it on the blueprint. Jumping genes cause genetic changes in all kinds of microbes.
Another way bacteria can undergo mutation is to take up bits of free-floating DNA in the environment. This is called transformation. Bits of DNA litter the environment when it's released from dying bacterial cells or bacteria burst open by a virus infection. DNA in the form of plasmids—circular bits of DNA that contain genes but exist outside the main chromosome—are also released by bacteria into the environment where they can be taken up by other bacteria.
Sometimes mutations are harmful and the microbes die off before they can reproduce and pass the mutations on to offspring. But other times a mutation gives rise to a new trait that helps the microbe better survive. Take antibiotic resistance among bacteria.
Antibiotics (an-tea-bye-ah-ticks) are life-saving drugs that kill bacteria. We discovered and began using them about 60 years ago. In that relatively short amount of time, bacteria have developed new traits through mutations that help protect them against antibiotics—sort of like a helmet protects you against injury.
Antibiotics attack and kill off bacteria
without the mutation...
The mutated ones survive after the
antibiotics are gone...
...and reproduce, passing along the mutation
to their offspring...
Eventually there are more antibiotic-resistant
bacteria than non-resistant.
Other mutations have helped microbes adapt to all sorts of environments from salty to icy to extremely hot and live off everything from decaying leaves to sunlight to bubbling sulfur.

Roberts selectively cited new CBS poll to falsely suggest that Americans approve of warrantless domestic surveillance
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
CBS' John Roberts selectively cited the results of a poll to claim that Americans support President Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program, but the full poll results show that the public's view of the program is more evenly divided.
On the January 26 edition of CBS' Evening News, chief White House correspondent John Roberts selectively cited the results of a January 20-25 CBS News/New York Times poll to support his assertion that "President Bush went into today's press conference" -- where he discussed his warrantless domestic surveillance program -- "with a boost." To back up that assertion, Roberts stated that the poll "found 61 percent of Americans believe the eavesdropping is meant to fight terror, and the majority support that." He later asserted, "You take a look at that poll, the majority of Americans think if it's directed at terrorism, it's the right thing to do." But Roberts did not mention poll results showing that only 46 percent of respondents approve of the warrantless surveillance when the "specific reason for the wiretapping -- to reduce the threat of terrorism -- is omitted from the question."
A reading of the entire poll indicates that, contrary to Roberts's assertion, the public's view of the warrantless surveillance program appears to be more evenly divided than he suggested. When Roberts asserted that a "majority support" the program, an onscreen graphic stated that 53 percent of respondents approved of Bush's warrantless surveillance program. The full poll document reported that when respondents were told that the purpose of the program is to "fight terrorism," 53 percent said they approved of it while 46 percent said they disapproved -- a result within the poll's four-point margin of error. (The onscreen graphic noted the margin of error, although the results document did not mention it.) The poll document itself states that "[t]he public is divided over the President's authorization of wiretaps," and -- contrary to Roberts's assertion that the poll had given Bush a "boost" -- the poll notes that "[t]he results [regarding approval for the program if its purpose is to fight terrorism] are similar to those seen nearly three weeks ago [49 percent approval; 48 percent disapproval], soon after news reports about the wiretaps appeared." Further, as the poll documents, "When the specific reason for the wiretapping -- to reduce the threat of terrorism -- is omitted from the question, the number of Americans who approve of this action drops by 7 points" to 46-percent approval, with 50-percent disapproval.
Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer suggested that the poll shows that "perhaps the Democrats are weak" in the fight against terrorism, but the poll asked no questions regarding Democrats and fighting terrorism.
From the January 26 edition of CBS' Evening News:
ROBERTS: On the NSA spying program, President Bush went into today's press conference with a boost. A new CBS News/New York Times poll found 61 percent of Americans believe the eavesdropping is meant to fight terror, and the majority support that. The president insisted again, today, he's on solid legal ground and was skeptical about increasing talk in Congress to write new laws covering the program.
BUSH [video clip]: If the attempt to write law makes this program -- is likely to expose the nature of the program, I'll resist it. Why tell the enemy what we're doing if the program is necessary to protect us from the enemy?
ROBERTS: Even if Congress were to write new laws, the larger question is: Would President Bush feel obligated to conduct the eavesdropping only under those rules? From a legal standpoint, not likely. But if Congress gives him everything he needs, political pressures may dictate that he has to. Bob?
SCHIEFFER: You know, John, it looks to me as if the president has decided to make this a political issue to show that he is strong in the fight against terrorism and perhaps the Democrats are weak. And I must say looking at that poll, he may be succeeding.
ROBERTS: A political issue and a national security issue which history would show the president does very well on. You take a look at that poll, the majority of Americans think if it's directed at terrorism, it's the right thing to do, Bob.

How can someone like this happen to such a great man? My father is a man that gives so much to the community, his church, his family, the music community. I'm sorry to all the others in the building who lost everything along with him. It is a sad time when we must now be suspicious of even vagrants who lay in alleyways because of potential sinister motives. God bless America for the right to burn someones hard work down on a whim. I hope this man, who did ths, is punished for this sad crime in which he stole the hard work and sweat from good people who tried to carve out a living when a country is on its knees.
#2 Jul 25, 2009
He had a past history in OR. He set as many as 40 fires, why is this idiot still on the streets? He was fined 15 days in jail and a $100.00. What's wrong with the justice system? Because of it, many more people have to suffer. Now he's here and we are going to have to foot the bill to keep he in jail. New Mexico should sue OR for letting this guy off so easy and make them pay for damages. A 3 cent present would put this idiot out of his misery. What would the people of Silver City do to this guy if this were the 1800s? You bet. Get a rope and find a tree.
#3 Jul 25, 2009
After reading the artical a few more times, it appears the employees arrived at work at 6am and their already taking a break at 6:30, wow. They saw this guy and didn't think to check what he was up to. wow. and by 6:44 the place was a burning inferno. wow
United States
#4 Jul 25, 2009
Don't blame the employee's for the fire - luckily they saw the suspect, and in turn; the cops were able to catch him. He's off the street now and that is the important thing. Thank God he didn't have a chance to start one more fire here.
Vagrants roam the streets here in Silver City - are we supposed to call the police every time we see a homeless person? It's so common to see vagrants panhandling at the Wal-Mart, Arby's & Albertson's,something needs to be done but it's an extremely sensitive subject. Time for the citizens of this community to come together to discuss what can be done about the vagrant problem.
#5 Jul 25, 2009
Your dad kept such a wonderful store where I, a Border Area employee would visit on my breaks to admire the musical instruments, music and to visit with the kind gentleman. Please encourage him in this time of chaos. I was happy to be a customer of his shop from time to time.

The picture taken at the end of the building next to the bridge has a beautiful rainbow in it. My son named the picture as, "the beauty and the beast."

Arson fires, drive-by shootings, bombs exploding, Silver is reverting to its "wild-west" roots. Its come full circle..from cowboys, Indians, Mexicans, Chinese and wild-ass miners to hobos and tramps, past the hippies, Viet Nam Vets, and rednecks, and right back to cowboys, Indians, Mexicans, and wild-ass miners. Not so many Chinese anymore.but the "established" citizens of Silver City have always had to deal with transients as well as fringe elements of its own society.
#8 Jul 25, 2009
Why should this scum-bag get 3 hots and a cot for committing such a heinous deed? I say string him up...right in front of the courthouse! Lets bring back frontier justice...an eye for an eye. This is one crazy messed-up world when criminals get rewarded for harming innocent people. If jerks like him want to loot & pillage, make them join the army and get sent to the front; they can help search for land mines.The punishment should fit the crime.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
#10 Jul 25, 2009
Lock him up, toss the key down the sewer. This man is way too dangerous to ever be out in the public again. It should have been done a long time ago -- this town needs its small businesses, espcially the music store. There are few places where music students can purchase music, instruments, accessories.
#11 Jul 25, 2009
Unfortunately, this individual is probably going to end up in District Court on a psych evaluation order from Magistrate Court before a preliminary hearing is ever held. That means the District Court will likely enter an order sending him up to the behavioral health unit in Las Vegas NM, where he could remain indefinitely until it's determined whether or not he's competent to stand trial. By this time, months if not years will pass before this arson case is ever brought to trial, if it even gets to that stage. Just look at the Dawna Cantrell case -- she killed her husband in 2003 and her final judgment was entered just this last week. Wow, an entire six years later. Now that's judicial efficiency at its finest. Even then, she plead guilty but mentally ill and she doesn't have to serve a day in prison. In fact, her 18-year prison sentence was suspended, as well as over $22,000 in fines. Oh, and she gets to continue living in the state of Oregon. Geez, I wonder if we have some sort of reciprocal agreement with Oregon? They get Cantrell, while we end up with this arsonist. Oh, but I do feel much better knowing that Ms. Cantrell still has to pay her $5 domestic violence treatment fee to the state of New Mexico. I'm sure that's a real deterrent for anyone thinking of committing a crime. It sounds more like a slap in the face to victims everywhere. I hate to say it, but the reality is that justice is not going to be served in this case. My sympathies go out to all of the business owners and victims of this horrendous act. My heart is filled with sadness and I pray that the citizens of Grant County will pull together to help you get back on your feet.
#12 Jul 26, 2009
This guy is a homegrown product of Grant County. He's not from Oregon.
United States
#13 Jul 26, 2009
Yes, he is indeed from Silver City. Troubled, he has a history of heinous trauma and mental illness. A real sad story. Evidently, he's not received the help he's needed along the way. Maybe some of you remember his aunt and guardian Liz Gary, who was on the Town Council until she moved away? This is a very unfortunate situation but also a reflection of our lack of resources and attention to this population.
#14 Jul 26, 2009
His mother still lives in Grant County. He did not get the help he needed along the way.

#15 Jul 26, 2009
Too bad taxes can't afford quality education for our young people rather than feed, clothe, and house perpetrators for the rest of their lives at taxpayer expense!
#16 Jul 26, 2009
Work starts at 8 so I'd guess they could do yoga for 2 hours if they wanted to. Do you really think approaching the suspect would have been a good idea? That would have put the employees right in harm's way and confronting a deranged individual in the middle of a burglary armed with a Molotov cocktail or whatever accelerant was used...doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
#17 Jul 26, 2009
I think what Elkstine meant was that if they saw him back there and he may have looked suspicous wouldnt you have investigated after he left? I mean if you spotted some homeless guy hanging around your house you might go and check out if he had been up to anything? I would. As for all of this I hope we can clean up the streets of some of these vagrants. I understand some have mental illnesses but as for the hippies and beggers hanging outside of the walmart parking lot, what are they bringing to this town other than an eyesore? Start enforcing the laws, but I guess maybe the police are too busy talking on their cellphones as they drive around town to do anything but harrass people with out of state plates.......

Dime Novel and Popular Literature
This collection brings together pre-Pulp era tales initially depicting scenes early America, the Frontier, and the West. Ranging roughly from 1860 to 1930 these often serial publications record the attitudes prevailing of 19th and early 20th Century society: including racist, sexist, and ethnic stereotypes. The original works are often highly fragile and digitization is a slow and careful endeavor. This collection includes the precursors to "Dime Novels", known as the "Story Papers", which were often of larger format, as well as the United Kingdom versions, "Penny Dreadfuls". Also included in this collection are Mass Market Literature - containing non-fiction texts, some of which are manifested as textual series - in a variety of subjects - including "self-help" and "how-to" titles, and medical cures. Also included are international Dime Novels - both translations of English originals as well as native creations. Digitization status: ongoing.Show/hide more info.

Softball Takes One of Two in Sunday Doubleheader
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team fell short of the weekend sweep of Horizon League foe Youngstown State on Sunday, winning the first game of a doubleheader before falling in the second at Riverside Park in Allouez.
Green Bay earned a 5-2 win in game two before being shutout in the second game, 2-0. The Phoenix is now 14-7 overall and 3-2 in conference action, while the Penguins moved to 16-15 overall and 3-4 in the Horizon League.
Game 1 – Green Bay 5, Youngstown State 2
The Phoenix wasted no time putting its first runs on the board in the first. Junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) led off with a sharp-hit single down the left field line, advanced to second on a wild pitch and moved to third on an error by Youngstown's shortstop that also allowed freshman Katelyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) to reach safely and advance to second. Sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) then drove in the first run on an infield groundout before senior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) laid down a sacrifice bunt for the second run of the inning.
Green Bay padded its lead in the bottom of the second with three runs. Leading off with a ground-rule double to straightaway center, senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) then scored on a hard-hit liner through the right side from sophomore Ashley Baker (Green Bay, Wis.). After a fly out, sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) reached on an infield single to chase Penguins starting pitcher Kayla Haslett out of the circle.
Replaced by Caitlyn Minney, the new pitcher hit her first batter faced to load the bases before giving up an RBI single through the left side from Huemmer. Two consecutive plays at the plate brought the inning to an end for the Phoenix. Attempting to advance runners on a wild pitch, Hutchinson was caught out at home. Michalkiewicz then reached on an error by YSU's second baseman that allowed one to score, but Huemmer was caught in a rundown trying to score to end the inning with the Phoenix leading 5-0.
Youngstown State got a two-run home run from Miranda Castiglione in the top of the third, but it was all the offense it could put on the board in the game as the Phoenix took game one, 5-2.
Reinke finished the game 2-for-3 with one run scored. Freshman Heather Sanderson (Rapid River, Mich.) picked up her fourth complete game of the season and improved to 3-2 after allowing two runs on eight hits with nine strikeouts and one walk.
Game 2 – Youngstown State 2, Green Bay 0
Youngstown State got single runs in the second and seventh innings while starting pitcher Casey Crozier held the Phoenix to just three hits while striking out 10 as the Penguins picked up a 2-0 win in game two of the doubleheader.
Capitalizing on a Green Bay error, Youngstown State put up its first run of the game with two outs in the top of the second. With two runners in scoring position and two out, Maria Lacatena hit a ground ball to Phoenix shortstop Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.). Mohrfeld collected the grounder and threw to first, but her attempt drew first baseman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) off the bag, allowing Lacatena to reach safely and one run to score.
A leadoff home run by Sarah Dowd tacked on another run for the Penguins in the top of the seventh and Crozier set down the Phoenix in order in the home half of the inning to preserve the 2-0 YSU win.
Senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) accounted for two of Green Bay's three hits in the game with a 2-for-3 showing. Mohrfeld had the other hit, finishing 1-for-3. Senior Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) took the loss, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits with two strikeouts. Junior Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) threw the final inning after Nannemann allowed the leadoff home run in the top of the seventh, giving up two hits with a walk.
Crozier picked up the complete game shutout, scattering three hits with two walks and 10 strikeouts.
Green Bay returns to action on Wednesday, hosting UW-Parkside in a non-conference doubleheader at 2 p.m.
