SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The 2012 BIG EAST women's lacrosse championship began a weekend of postseason action with a banquet announcing the league's all-conference teams and major award winners. Syracuse junior Michelle Tumolo was named the BIG EAST Attack Player of the Year, while Orange head coach Gary Gait garnered BIG EAST Coach of Year honors for the second time. Loyola senior Kellye Gallagher was tabbed BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, while sophomore teammate Marlee Paton was named BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year.
Tumolo was named BIG EAST Attack Player of the Year after totaling 79 points, including 40 goals and 39 assists. The junior also helped her team to a perfect 8-0 record in league play and the No. 1 seed in the BIG EAST Championship. In conference action, Tumolo registered 40 points, including 20 goals and 20 assists to average 5.0 points per game. She also had a pair of game-winning goals. In addition to 19 ground balls, Tumolo had 13 draw controls and 10 caused turnovers. The junior started all 16 games this year and recorded at least two points in 15 contests. The league's Preseason Player of the Year, Tumolo is just the second Syracuse star to earn BIG EAST Attack Player of the Year honors and the school's third winner overall (joining Katie Rowan 2008 and 2009).
In his fifth season with Syracuse, Gait earns his second BIG EAST Coach of the Year honor following an undefeated 8-0 mark in league play. The Orange won the BIG EAST regular-season title for the fifth time in program history, and captured their second outright crown. Syracuse also is the No. 1 seed in the BIG EAST Championship for just the second time. Under the direction of Gait, Tumolo and sophomore Alyssa Murray were among the 25 nominees for the Tewaaraton Trophy. Tumolo led the team in assists (39), while Murray compiled team highs of 59 goals and 87 points. The Orange are 15-2 overall and ranked second in the nation, the highest mark in school history. Syracuse has knocked off nine ranked opponents this season and enters the BIG EAST Championship riding a program-record 14-game winning streak. Gait helped the Orange garner nine all-conference selections, including four first-team picks.
Gallagher was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league in ground balls (52) and caused turnovers (43). The senior also led the league in those categories in conference play with 23 ground balls and 20 caused turnovers. Defensively, Loyola held its opponents to just 10.2 goals per game, while averaging a league-leading 11.3 caused turnovers and 19.6 ground balls. Gallagher totaled 13 draw controls and started all 16 games for the Greyhounds. She recorded five or more ground balls in a game six times this year, including a season-high seven ground balls in a 12-11 win over UMBC on March 10. She is the first player in school history to earn BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Paton was named the BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year after leading the Conference with 48 points in league play. The sophomore recorded 28 goals and 20 assists in league action and a team-high 74 points (43 goals, 31 assists) in all games. In addition, Paton had 17 ground balls, 14 caused turnovers and 10 draw controls. She recorded a season-high nine points in a game twice this year and has recorded seven hat tricks. During BIG EAST contests, she helped the Greyhounds lead the league in ground balls per game (18.3) and rank second in scoring (15.5) and caused turnovers (10.9). Paton is the third sophomore to win the award. Paton becomes just the second Loyola player to earn Midfielder of the Year accolades, joining Kate McHarg (2006).
The 2012 BIG EAST women's lacrosse championship is a four-team event taking place May 3 and 5 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. The No. 1 seed Orange (15-2, 8-0 BIG EAST) will host the tournament and face No. 4 seed Georgetown (9-7, 5-3 BIG EAST) on May 3 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
No. 2 seed Loyola (11-5, 7-1 BIG EAST) will face No. 3 seed Notre Dame (13-3, 6-2 BIG EAST) in the other semifinal at approximately 5:30 p.m. ET. The winners will face off for the league's tournament championship on May 7 at 1 p.m. and an automatic berth into the 16-team Division I NCAA Championship. For the third straight year, all three games will be televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network.

Robles defeats Landeros in San Diego
By Felipe Leon
Photos: Paul Gallegos
In the first fight card of the San Diego season, Bobby D. Presents along with Jorge Marron Productions and A&T Gym presented a full night of professional boxing that featured an array of local fighters as well as some from as far away as Dominican Republic, Philippines and southern Mexico. With a near sellout crowd jammed into the Four Points Sheraton in Kearny Mesa, a suburb of San Diego, light welterweight Emmanuel "Renegade" Robles (7-0-1, 2KOs) of Imperial Beach, CA, won a lopsided six round unanimous decision over Adolfo "Terror" Landeros (22-30-2, 10KOs) in the main event.
It was all Robles all the way as he completely controlled the action, from the outside or in the inside, Robles was simply the quicker but more importantly, the bigger guy against the career 122-126 lbs. Landeros. The tough "Terror", originally of the Tepito neighborhood of Mexico City, tried to pressure Robles as he has done against all his opponents but Landeros had never fought north of 130 pounds. To his credit, Landeros lasted all the fights despite being hurt on different occasions against Robles who landed quick combinations to the head of the shorter Landeros.
Along with a huge heart, Landeros carries a wealth of experience and with that he was able to mount an offensive in the second half of the fight and with sneaky left hooks and pressure was able to make Robles take a step back on more than one occasion. One thing that can be said about Landeros, despite his losing record and tag of "opponent", he truly came to fight with intensity and true grit.
After six rounds, it was identical scores of 60-54 three times that awarded the unanimous decision to the "Renegade" Robles.
Hoskins Upsets Rivera
In an upset, Los Angeles, CA's Kevin "Hostile One" Hoskins (7-1, 3KOs) traveled south to send previously unbeaten Eduardo Rivera (9-1-1, 3KOs) to the canvas at 1:14 of the first round of a scheduled light welterweight six. No time was wasted as Rivera from Yucatan but fighting out of nearby Lakeside, CA, let the shorter Hoskins make his fight and exchanged with the Los Angeles fighter. Both were getting as good as they were giving but Hoskins' straight right followed by a straight right got there quicker and hurt Rivera. Rivera, disconnected from his senses, fell to the canvas hard. As referee Tony Crebs administered the count, Rivera got to his feet at nine but after a serious look from Crebs, the action was stopped. Official time was 1:14.
Rubillar shocks "Chocolate" Nieves
In an international flyweight match up, what seemed like target practice for the much quicker and fresher Basilio "Chocolate" Nieves (10-2, 3KOs) as he easily out boxed veteran Juanito Rubillar (49-18-7, 24KOs) for the majority of the bout, finished with an odd turn of events giving the Filipino fighter the win. The fight followed a usual pattern of Nieves darting in and out, scoring with mainly straight rights through the southpaw stance of Rubillar. After every punch landed, Rubillar would ask for more but had trouble trying to mount an offensive on the always moving Nieves. In the fourth, Rubillar began to close the gap better and was able to manhandle Nieves to the ropes and score punches to the body but as soon as the action was taken to the middle of the ring, it was all Nieves and his much quicker reflexes.
In a strange change of events and with Nieves winning easily, Rubillar landed a punch on the belt that bruised Nieves' left hip. Nieves walked to his corner and at first it seemed that there was a malfunction with his cup but it was later revealed Nieves did not wish to continue due to the pain. The end was ruled a TKO win for Rubillar at the 1:00 mark of the fifth round of a scheduled six.
Barragan Survives Knockdown to Win
Big-time local favorite David Barragan (4-0-1, 2KOs) survived an early scare to remain undefeated with a unanimous decision over very late sub Jose Martell (2-6, 1KO) of Phoenix, Arizona. Barragan of nearby National City was visibly the better technical fighter as he put together his crisp combinations much better than the wild Martell. Martell, who took the fight with 24-hour notice, caught an unbalanced Barragan early in the second with a straight left that sent the local fighter down. Clearly a flash knockdown, Barragan was back on his feet and took the round back charging Martell against the ropes. Despite scoring the knockdown, Martell's wind was out of his sails as he was content in taking Barragan's punishment. With a left hook that could tenderize a chuck wagon steak into filet mignon, Barragan went to the body with abandon as he tried to give his fan base the knockdown they were shouting for.
Martell scored early in the fourth as it seemed that he was conserving his energy for the last round but Barragan easily shut down the Arizona fighter with applied pressure. At the end, all three judges, Alejandro Rochin, Tony Crebs and Fritz Werner, had it an identical 38-37 for Barragan.
Fonseca Takes Taylor's '0'
Victor Fonseca (3-1-1, 1KO) of Tijuana came up north and gave local James "Hollywood" Taylor (2-1) all he could handle on his way to a unanimous decision in a four round welterweight four. Taylor was quicker of hand of feet but Fonseca clearly hit harder as he hurt the San Diego fighter with right hands in all kinds of different angles. An overhand right wobbled Taylor against the ropes in the second and then Fonseca welcomed Taylor in the third with a perfect right hand. Surprisingly Taylor remained on his feet and tried to brawl with Fonseca but the Tijuana fighter was just too strong. The fourth and final round was all Fonseca as he landed everything on Taylor making his opponent's head snap back with at times wild hooks from both fists. Taylor tried to keep up but was overwhelmed by the grinder from Tijuana. Scores were 40-36 each by Fritz Werner and Tony Crebs while Alejandro Rochin saw it 39-37.
Quiroz Puts a Hurting on First-Timer Sandoval
No quarrel was given between flyweights Jonathan Quiroz (3-1) of Oceanside, CA, and San Bernardino's Jesus Sandoval (0-1) in the opening four rounder. After an even first round where both fighters weren't shy in throwing hard power punches, Quiroz began pushing forward and began to land a thundering left hook that never missed its mark to the southpaw Sandoval's chin. Sandoval looked ready to go by the end of the round, especially after Quiroz put the icing on the pain cake with a perfectly thrown right uppercut. Sandoval was able to survive the round and in the second was able to establish himself more as the aggressor. Quiroz had no problem letting Sandoval dictate the action but he scored the better punches as he would catch Sandoval coming in with sneaky over hand rights or straight crosses to the mid-section. Sandoval kept trying to make it a brawl but Quiroz was just better and ruined Sandoval's coming out party. Veteran judges Fritz Werner and Jose Cobian saw it 40-36 while Alejandro Rochin gave one round to Sandoval with a score of 39-37.

I always said that he's a serviceable big man for about 20 minutes a night. And that is all that's needed from him with Amir coming in and J-Max getting extended minutes.

Actually my question is concerning a 36. I am looking for a suitable "blue water" cruiser that I can safely sail single handed and be comfortable enough for 2. What do you think the required equipment would for a 3-5 year circumnavigation? Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Cape Dory 30
I very much appreciate the input from all of you. I wanted to make sure that I wasn''t being unreasonable here. I now understand that I could walk away legally on the strength of the survey, but it''s nice to have a bit of insight as to what the surveyor was talking about. It gives me some confidence in my conviction.
Thanks Again

In case you still have any doubts about bailing on this purchase:
- a rule of thumb about estimates of major repairs is that if a yard writes a detail estimate of work, assume the final cost will be up to double the estimate due to surprises and unexpected complications. While this isn''t alweays true, from personal experience it is more common than not, and this assumption gives you a better base for no-regrets decisions.
- if deck repairs need to be done, you can expect a good structural repair, but it'' very hard to produce a result that hides the repair, unless the deck is stripped of hardware, non-skid areas masked, awlgripped, and then the non-skid painted. The cosmetic work will be several times the cost of the core repair itself.
Cape Dory 30
I am sorry to hear that you ran into problems with the survey. I was delighted to read your excitement about the deal progressing. I know how heart breaking it can be to think you have the ''perfect boat'' only to find it rift with problems.
As to the problems, I can''t recall if the Cape Dory 30 has a bolt on or an encapsulated keel. If this is an encapsulated keel, then I would run and not walk the other direction, because once the encapsulation had delaminated from the ballast, and the encapsulation envelope has been breeched, there is no practical repair that will return this boat to a "like new" condition because there is no way to get the moisture out of the keel cavity and re-adhere the ballast to the shell. (I am not sure that the CD30 had lead ballast as I seem to recall that some of the CD''s had iron ballast. If the CD30 has encapsulated iron ballast, that makes the situation far worse and harder to repair.)
If this is simply a bolt-on keel the repairs are somewhat easier, although there are some potentially negative implications to those as well. It is actually pretty easy to unbolt a keel and rebed it properly. If the CD30 does have a lead keel, then the weeping would suggest corrosion of the keel bolts and a keel bolt replacement is a very big job.
When you combine the keel issues with the deck core issues, this is a major project boat. You have every reason to request your deposit back because this by any reasonable definition this is a boat that failed its survey with concealed conditions that you could not have known about prior to making your offer. The kinds of problems that this boat has are severe enough that $10-12K will not result in a seamless repair and so simply getting a $10-12K discount would not make you whole. This is clearly a boat that has had a hard life and frankly it makes no sense for you to take on the problems of the current owner. I strongly suggest that you demand your deposit back and look for a decent boat.
Cape Dory 30
If your purchase contract stimpulates that the sale is contingent on a survey and that the survey demonstrates the boat is fundamentlally in the condition it has been represented, and if that''s not true, then you can simply request your deposit be refunded.
The legal stuff aside, you would not be buying a boat but rather a ''project'', and one of the main attractions you originally had to the boat - a good financial decision - just went out the window along with the keel crack.
You don''t need to justify your decision to the broker or ''satisfy'' him about your logic; simply saying ''no thanks'' is sufficient. But if you choose, you can point out that the next survey - when it''s time for you to sell the boat - may produce a similar blemished report (i.e. a hull repair was required)...and why would you knowingly purchase that grief?
Sorry to hear about the surprise, but aren''t you glad you had her surveyed!?
Cape Dory 30
Making the "Big Decision" to buy a boat always comes with second thoughts and introspection. Have you been able to speak with the owner, or only through his agent? If you get a chance to speak with him, (Or her) what do they say about the issues uncovered by the surveyor?
As mentioned earlier, you may have a tough time selling the boat in the future as it is. Any future buyer will uncover these things also, unless expertly repaired, which would cost a bundle, as you have said.
The broker is interested in his 10% comission and will always say you should buy. I have NEVER found a salesperson whose best interest is anywhere but their own pocket. I even have done the unthinkable, as far as selling a lovely 30'' C&C to a family with little to no experience. (I at least gave them three all day lessons "gratis")
You can of course back out of the deal based on your surveyors feedback. I doubt the current owner will accept almost a 50% reduction in selling price, based on the repairs cited. DO NOT let any broker pressure you into ANYTHING. You have no obligation to them what-so-ever!!!!
From what you had stated in previous posts in this thread, you are looking for something that you can enjoy on your lake, and then sell in a couple of years. You should not be in a hurry. Do not succumb to the outside influences of those who do not have YOUR best interest at heart. Your surveyor was hired by you to give you a fair and honest representation of a vessel. He has done that. You are now feeling uncomfortable in the deal, and have the right to reject the vessel based on his findings.
Move on and find a boat that passes survey so you can sleep at night and enjoy your sailing during the day!
Cape Dory 30
I actually got the survey a couple days ago and it appears that I was mistaken about the outcome of the survey. I apparently took his like for the model as his approval of the boat. This is not the case. It took me several days to digest what the surveyor was saying.
This boat has a structual crack in the keel on starboard side that is around six feet long and is allowing the ballast to bleed through (i still don''t understand how lead bleeds). This area also has an extremely high moisture content and the boat has been out of the water since fall. It also has high to very high moisture content on a significant part of the decks and dog house. From the info I have been able to gather talking to various yards, it appears that these repairs will run something along the order of $ 10-12k to repair.
Here''s the rub, my broker is trying to tell me that the surveyor is just being brutal and that the boat isn''t really in that bad a shape. Furthermore he wants to approach the owner to get a price reduction and finalize the deal. At this point I don''t know if I want the boat. I have been reading the thread about the guy that wants palm a salvage boat off, and what I''ve gleened from this is that this boat will now have a significant price reduction because it has a history of keel and deck problems (I would have to make the next owner fully aware of the problem).
At this point is it reasonable to ask for my deposit back and bail out? I feel like the broker does not want to let me out. Being as how the contract read that it was pending survey, doesn''t that allow me to legally bow out at this point?
I would be most grateful for quick feedback on this.
Cape Dory 30
Dirt, congratulations and we all hope you have a good spell of sailing and puttering about with your new boat.
If the boat didn''t come with one, you might consider adding a mizzen staysail if you really would like to get all the sailing performance out of her possible. This is only suitable if you have a split backstay on the main mast, but it takes only a block at the mizzen masthead, a halyard and a sail for your size boat. The sail can be 1.5 oz spin cloth and is usually not much money when buying new, even less when used (e.g. from Bacon''s). No need to rush on the suggestion now but, in time, I think you''ll wish you had more ''horsepower'' when sailing with the wind other than off the bow...and this is a fun way to add horsepower.
Cape Dory 30
I appreciate your input Jack. I in fact bought the Cape Dory. I just had it surveyed. It is in as good a shape as i thought it was. I am not terribly concerned about sailing characteriastics, while it will take a little getting used to the ketch rig, I''ve been racing long enough to figure out how to get the most out of her, no matter what that may be.
When it''s time to sell it I will trailer it to Atlanta and try to peddle it down there, if that doesn''t work then I will trailer it to Charleston. I had already considered the fact that it will be almost useless to try selling it here.
Thanks Again To All

JACKASS v KINDNESS
This past weekend I was leaving one of my favorite restaurants in LA. I love a good steak and this place has the best. Like everyone else does here in LA, I was waiting in line for the valet. There were about four people ahead of my group. I had seen this actor inside, and although we are not friends, we certainly know each other enough to say hello. Throughout the evening I had seen this actor enjoying drink after drink and growing louder and louder. He was being obnoxious, but nothing out of the ordinary or worth a mention here. UNTIL, he and his companions emerged from the restaurant and proceeded to push their way through to the front of the valet line. For some reason there was only one valet working and so things were moving a little slow. However, everyone was in a good mood and no one was complaining because they could all see how hard the one valet was working. He was not walking anywhere. He was running flat out. The valet looked to be in his mid 20's and was from Mexico. His English was poor which was going to cost him in a few minutes. When our actor came outside, the valet was not there because he was running to get a car. This immediately sent Mr. Ass into a rant about how no one has good service anymore and he had a movie opening soon and companies just did not value customer service.
So, the valet comes back with a car and now there are three people ahead of my group and the first in line prepares to give his ticket to the valet. The valet is about to grab it, when Mr. Ass says, "Hold it, I need to go first. I have a talk show I am supposed to do in twenty minutes." Well it is almost 11pm and no one is buying that story. The valet did not really understand what Mr. Ass was saying, just that there was an angry man getting more angry by the minute right in his face. The valet kind of gave a half smile and a shrug, and went back to the person who was first. At that point, Mr. Ass decided to play the do you know who I am card. I hate that card and to have this almost A lister recite what he has done and is doing to a man who did not understand a word was really humorous if you were not being the guy yelled at. It is so LA and so annoying. At that point, Mr. Ass lost it and his friends were trying to slink away. Mr. Ass said he would just go get his car himself and where were all the damn keys. The valet pointed and Mr. Ass got his keys and then asked where the cars were parked. It turns out the cars were about two blocks away. That sent Mr. Ass into a rant about how could the cars be protected if they were that far away and there better not be any damage to his car, etc. BUT it was too far for him to bother with it and that the valet should get it NOW. Well, it looked like we were in for another outburst of yelling and screaming, but everyone agreed Mr. Ass should go first. We just did not have the guts to watch it and you could tell the valet just wanted to escape the wrath of Mr. Ass.
The valet got back a few minutes later with the vehicle and Mr. Ass actually had the nerve to say it's about time. No tip, no manners, and not the first time. Needless to say, the valet made a ton of money off the rest of us, but Mr. Ass needs a good ass kicking.
This actress has not been in many things, but everyone will know her for all time anyway. Went from bit player to big star almost overnight. A lovely woman who never let her stardom give her a fat head like Mr. Ass up above. Anyway, it turns out that our actress has a habit. Every Monday she gets $500 in fives from the bank and over the course of the week gives it all away. She generally gives away $100 a day, five days a week. A homeless person asks for money, $5 and she just keeps on repeating this over and over. She knows how lucky she is to be where she is and never wants to forget where she came from. Each day as she runs into people who ask, and in LA there are plenty, she never says no and always gives $5. Homeless people who have no idea what she does for a living, just know she is someone they can always count on for a kind word and that $5. Just in her $5 plan she gives away almost $26,000 a year. She does not do it for publicity and obviously does not get receipts. She does not try and claim it on her taxes. She does it just because she cares. The $26,000 is not a bunch of money, but it is 5,200 people she has helped over the course of the year. She has looked in their eyes and knows she has a made a difference.
In reality, the $26,000 is not all she does in public. From Thanksgiving until Christmas, she raises the $5 to $20 and for one month, she gives away about $400 a day. Each person she runs into gets a $20 bill which can mean several days of food or even half the cost of a hotel room. Homeless people stop and thank her and quite often do not ask for the money again. They instead bring other people or tell her a story of what happened after she gave them some money. It is truly incredible what she does each and everyday, no matter where in the world she is. What makes it even more incredible is this story which I have heard once or twice before was a topic of conversation during the dinner with Mr. Ass.

Walgreen, one of the nation's biggest pharmacy operators, will pay $80 million to resolve federal charges it failed to properly control the sales of narcotic painkillers at some outlets, which led to a large quantity of prescription pain killers making their way to the black market. The Drug Enforcement Administration described the fine as the biggest ever paid by a pharmacy chain.
Softbank raises
offer for Sprint
A month after being challenged by a rival to raise its bid for Sprint Nextel, Japan's Softbank did just that, by $1.5 billion. That brings Softbank's bid to $21.6 billion for the nation's third-largest carrier, short of the $25.5 billion bid by rival Dish Network.

Download Software Defined Networking (SDN) has attracted a great deal of attention for its claims of solving a number of common networking problems associated with flexibility and performance. At the same time, many enterprise organisations are paying big dollars for skilled specialist staff to maintain their network or are outsourcing this function? Even if the network configuration is kept simple, maintenance tasks on large networks can be time-consuming and error-prone. What if there was a better way? What if you could have the management simplicity of SDN and at the same time reduce the cost and complexity of managing your enterprise network?

Hey guys, I have lived in NJ for about 5 years now and I figure it's about time to start hunting here now. I am currently living in Rutherford and would like to know if anyone knows of any good public lands for mallard? Any help is greatly appreciated.

text: Haha, Amir biting on that pump fake was pretty funny. I know I've seen it brought up, but again why in the hell wasn't Stuckey taking any shots at the end of the game? He was scoring at will, hitting jumpers, driving the lane. Then at the end I see Sheed shooting threes and AI shooting jumpers. I'm sure that wasn't what Curry wanted (I can only hope). I would love to see Stuckey get some end game love. I don't know if hes defering or Curry isn't calling his number, but he's clutch and when he has 30 points on over 50%FG I would love to see him taking some clutch shots at the end. And yes smallball is once again horrible..

Piers Morgan sat down with Lindsay Lohan for an interview in New York City just days ahead of the actress entering court-mandated rehab.
The troubled 26-year-old spoke candidly with the CNN host, and opened up about her sexuality and drug use - including the handful of times she's used cocaine.
"Everyone thinks I've done [cocaine] so many times. But I've only done it maybe four or five times in my life," she told Piers, adding that she doesn't care for the sensation the drug causes, as it makes her feel "too buzzed" and "uncomfortable." "I took it four times in a period from about the age of 20 to 23, and I got caught twice."

The actress, who checked into the Betty Ford Center on Friday as part of a plea deal stemming from a car accident case, said she's "never" taken heroin or LSD, or "injected" herself with a substance, but has used marijuana and ecstasy.
"[I've used] pot, obviously. And ecstasy. I liked that better than the others," she said. "I didn't drink on it, so I was just chilling. It's something that a lot of people experience when they're in college. I just should have known that being in the public eye, someone was bound to say something or try to make some money off it."
PHOTOS: Stars Who Have Been In Rehab
When asked by Piers to be "hyper-self-critical" in describing herself, Lindsay said, "Everyone thinks I'm this crazy drug addict who shows up late to everything and behaves so badly. But I'm not.
"I'm bad with timing," she continued. "I always panic when people rush me. I'm like, 'I'll be there half an hour early if you just give me my space and don't call me every five seconds.'"
As for her sexuality, Lindsay - who famously dated DJ Samantha Ronson - said despite her history with Samantha, she is definitely straight.
"I know I'm straight," she said. "I have made out with girls before, and I had a relationship with a girl. But I think I needed to experience that and I think I was looking for something different."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Courtroom Couture
Though the actress (who said she's been court-ordered to rehab six times) told Piers she considers rehab "pointless," she said she's staying positive about her 90-day stint at Betty Ford.
"I look at it as a good thing. I can come back afterwards and be fully focused on work. But I think there are other things I could do instead of going to a rehab center that would benefit me more," she explained. "The best thing they could do for me would be to make me go abroad to different countries and work with children."

text: Well they are no more accurate than a S&W 29 or the Ruger Redhawk. You still have to watch what you buy as not all of them are built like a tank. I think everybody wants one just for the fun of shooting them. I would like to get the Ruger Blackhawk in .44mag. I had one years ago but let it go in a trade. I like to have it in the 5 3/4" to 6 1/4" range. That should work well at to about 50yds. The old Rugers are a tough gun. There also the ones that get blowed up the most around here. These hog hunters think they got to put a stick of dynomite in one to make it work. Good luck.

Wardle Adds Combo Guard Lamin Fulton to Phoenix Program
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's basketball team has added junior college transfer Lamin Fulton (Philadelphia, Pa.) to its 2013-14 roster, head coach Brian Wardle announced on Wednesday. The 5-foot-10 junior guard is eligible to play immediately for the Phoenix.
"Lamin will be a great addition to our program and we are excited to welcome him to Green Bay," said Wardle. "Having played at the Division I level and at a highly successful junior college program, Lamin brings a lot of experience to our team. Lamin has played for excellent coaches and programs and his competitive, winning mentality fits perfectly into our locker room. He is a tough, combo guard that can stretch defenses with his shooting ability."
"The tradition here was exciting," said Fulton. "I wanted to come to a winning program with great coaches and great players. It is always good to play with other good players. It is a family atmosphere here, and that is what I like. Everywhere I went [on my visit], it felt like family. I fit right in with everyone. I loved the coaches, the players, and the school. Everything felt great here."
In 2012-13, Fulton played for one of the nation's top Division I junior colleges, Northwest Florida State College. Starting 21 games for the national runner-up team that posted a 30-4 record, Fulton averaged seven points per game. Fulton started in the national championship game and scored 13 points. On the season, the guard knocked down 42 three-pointers and scored in double figures nine times.
"My experience there will help me big time," said Fulton of his time at junior college. "We played on a lot of big stages against a lot of the players you are going to see around the country in the NCAA this year. It helped me out a lot because I played for coaches that coached at a high level. We had Division I type practices last year at junior college, so that was a blessing."
A 2011 graduate of Neuman Goretti High School in Philadelphia, Fulton spent his freshman season at St. Peter's University in Jersey City, N.J. Fulton started 24 games as a freshman and was third on the team in scoring at 8.9 points per game. He played nearly 30 minutes per game and knocked down 59 three-pointers.
In high school, Fulton was the 2011 Philadelphia Catholic League Player of the Year and led Neuman Goretti to two state titles, three Catholic League titles and three City titles. Fulton was voted first-team all-state, first-team all-city and first-team All-Catholic League as a junior and a senior.
Green Bay, who returns four starters from a team which posted an 18-16 record in 2012-13, recently completed an undefeated foreign tour to the Bahamas.
Green Bay's complete men's basketball schedule for the 2013-14 season was released on Tuesday. Among the highlights, Wardle's team will participate in the season-opening HBCU Tip-Off Championship (Nov. 8-10) and the Great Alaska Shootout (Nov. 28-30) as well as host home games Wisconsin (Nov. 16) and Virginia (Dec. 7).

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Olympiacos in the Champions League on Tuesday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Adrian Clarke and Lee from LadyArse.
Until the hour mark I thought Arsenal's revamped line-up produced a relatively controlled performance, but the side undoubtedly ran out of steam in the final 30 minutes and that's when Olympiakos overran the Gunners. It's never easy coming into a match of this magnitude without recent first-team action and full match fitness, so this was to be expected I guess.
I enjoyed seeing glimpses of the finesse Tomas Rosicky is capable of on his return, and he took his goal beautifully too. Francis Coquelin also impressed me with his first-half display. As the game wore on the Greeks got stronger, while Arsenal's threat faded, so on reflection 2-1 is probably a fair result. Let's hope we get lucky with the draw!
There's a strange feeling around this match because the result won't greatly affect either side. Olympiacos have nothing but pride to play for, which could lower their intensity a little, while Arsenal aren't sure if finishing as group winners or runners up will assist their prospects of progressing in the knockout stages.
With a lot of fresh faces in the starting XI, I expect to see players trying to impress the manager, and I hope that helps to produce a committed performance. On the flip side, with so many changes it can often be hard to find a rhythm. The Gunners are in need of a morale-boosting victory, and they're more than capable of producing it, but this won't be easy at all, no match in Greece ever is.
As long as the players give their all and work their socks off for the travelling fans, I don't think Arsène Wenger will be too worried about the result.
Although losing is never something to be proud of, playing Olympiakos without the majority of our first team was always going to make this an uphill struggle and with Schalke only managing to get a draw against Montpellier the group was there for Arsenal to win. That said, the quality of teams finishing in second place in the Champions League this season means that the benefit of finishing in first place was somewhat diminished.
Arsenal put in a spirited display and positives can be taken from an impressive performance at left back from Jernade Meade, in whom Arsenal seem to have found yet another talented and pacy full back. There was also a great 45 minutes from Tomas Rosicky to savour as he continues his return from his long injury lay-off. Added to that, the majority of the senior team will be well rested as Arsenal now go on to face West Brom in the Premier League. The decision to play a much weakened team still seems like a good one in the morning light - despite the result.
With qualification to the knockout phase already assured and top spot not necessarily guaranteeing an easy draw this year in the Champions League, Arsenal are heading into their final group game with a mixture of youth and fringe players which not only allows the senior players a much-needed rest but also eases the expectations of fans as well.
Olympiakos is always a tough place to go and Arsenal have struggled there on recent trips usually due to similar circumstances as those we face tonight - qualification secured and players being protected from fatigue. While a win would do much to lift the morale of the fans, many are approaching this game aware that the main test for Arsenal will come at the weekend in the Premier League. As a result they are treating it more like a League Cup tie and a great chance to watch some exciting young players.

'Fully funded': Labeling a school budget
That grandstanding has already begun. At the school board meeting two Mondays ago, member John Avard said, "We need to know what the number is that is going to keep us in compliance with state guidelines. We have to see what a fully funded budget looks like."
Board members who advocate spending more money love this game because they get to define the terms. By the definitions imposed by the board, the higher-spending budget will be "fully funded" and the one that complies with the voter-imposed spending cap will not be. It should be obvious that simply calling the higher budget "fully funded" does not make the lower budget a dereliction of the city's duties. But that is how the cap-compliant budget was portrayed this past year, and the same way it will be portrayed next year, as though the city can measure its commitment to students by raw budget numbers alone.
Ignored in this political exercise will be the assumptions made in the creation of the "fully funded" budget. By definition, the full funding will mean increasing employee compensation per the existing contracts. But the contracts are to be renegotiated next year. New contracts might allow the district to hire more personnel at a lower per-person cost.
The so-called "fully funded" budget also would not necessarily include things like shifting costs by finding corporate sponsors (approved this year by the school board), or cutting costs by finding more efficient ways of doing things.
Taxpayers should not fall for this rhetorical trick.

Rush Limbaugh At The Intersection Of Misogyny And Ignorance
On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh saw an opening to make a sexist joke. Videos apparently show [1] that Osama bin Laden lived in squalor in the hideout in Pakistan where he was killed. And Limbaugh knows that bin Laden had three wives. I bet you can guess what followed. Yup, a joke [2] about how bin Laden could have such a messy house despite living with three wives. He added that "one ought to be enough to keep it clean."
Limbaugh said that he was not making a sexist joke, but actually commenting on "the customs in Islam and the Muslim world," because "over there, what else do they do" besides clean up and have children?
It's so transparent that this comment is actually about Limbaugh's sexism, that it barely needs explaining. In the clip itself, Limbaugh complained that he couldn't tell such a joke in "feminized America." And Limbaugh's sexism is well-documented. He has [3] previously [4] said [5] that powerful women keep a "testicle lock box"; he calls [6] the [7] National Organization for Women, the "NAGs" (the National Association of Gals); he calls women cabinet members "sex-retaries [8]"; and he calls female news reporters demeaning [9] terms [10] such [11] as "infobabes" who "chickify [12]" the news.
Limbaugh is sexist, and he used bin Laden's death to make a sexist joke. No doubt about it.
But that's not all. Limbaugh also displayed his utter lack of knowledge of the Muslim world. While I have no doubt that bin Laden treated his wives despicably, it is hardly universally true that the Muslim world refuses to let women do anything besides housework and childbearing.
In fact, the country where bin Laden was hiding, Pakistan, first elected [13] a woman as prime minister in 1988. The current [14] speaker of the lower house of Pakistan's parliament is a woman. Another largely Muslim country, Turkey, first elected [15] a woman as prime minister in 1993.
It's doubtful that Limbaugh knows any of this, of course.
Thus, this short clip shows Limbaugh squarely in his comfort zone: at the intersection of sexism and ignorance.

Braida Explains The In-credible Shrinking U.S. Dollar
A $20 bill and $20 U.S. 'Liberty' Gold coin used to have the same buying power. But how much will they each buy today?
A paper $20 dollar bill will buy; milk, bread, peanut butter and jelly. Not much! But one $20 gold coin will buy six shopping carts full of food - worth nearly 2,000 paper dollars! That's nearly 100 times more food!
History shows that owning Gold coins has been the best way to beat the rising cost of living. How and why is simply explained in a new book, "The Great Debasement" FREE.

The Canisius College women's soccer team allowed four first half goals and ultimately fell 6-1 at Northern Kentucky (3-4-1) on Sunday afternoon. The Griffs dropped to 1-5-1 with the loss.
Canisius' lone goal was scored by senior forward Brianna Smith, who took a pass from junior midfielder Jenny Piaggione and chipped it over the head of the keeper for her fifth goal of the season. The assist was Piaggione's first of 2013.
The Griffs fell behind early, allowing two goals in the first four minutes of the contest and were unable to recover. Six different players scored for the Norse.
Senior goalkeeper Megan Tock made four saves in the game for Canisius.
The matchup was the final road contest prior to MAAC play for the Griffs, who will wrap up their non-conference slate with a pair of games at the Demske Sports Complex. Cansius will host Albany Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. to kickoff the weekend.

In Abu Said Al-Khudri's account, the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: When the antichrist appears, a man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from among the believers will oppose him. MANY PEOPLE CARRYING ARMS, PEOPLE BEARING ARMS IN THE CENTERS OF SURVEILLANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST, WILL MOVE AGAINST THAT BELIEVER. (Ibrahim Suleymanoglu, Mehdilik ve Imamiye [Mahdism and Imamate], 37; Sahih Muslim, 11/393)
In this hadith of our Prophet (saas), we are told that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be watched by armed men of the antichrist, that he will be followed and that efforts will be made to neutralize him in this way. In the Qur'an Allah also reveals that similar efforts were made to impede those messengers preaching the true faith by placing them under surveillance in the same way:
He is nothing but a man possessed so wait a while and see what happens to him. (Surat al-Muminun, 25)
However, as our Prophet (saas) has said, these activities on the part of the antichrist will serve no purpose; on the contrary, they will be instrumental in Hazrat Mahdi's (as) influence and strength increasing still further and of his fame and glory spreading ever wider across the world.

If you know how to use Reunion, you already know how to use the iPad version, which preserves a remarkable amount of the desktop program's functionality. Navigating, changing views and even entering data are all literally at your fingertip.
The app does have a few glitches. Data entered on the iPad in the "memo" field of an event seems to get lost in translation back to the Mac. And sometimes the iPad program simply freezes.
File management
Reunion for iPad reads and writes only Reunion's own file format; anything else must be converted in your Reunion desktop software. But the sync is so simple and slick we have to give it four stars.
Charts and multimedia
After zooming around the tree view on the iPad with the touch of a finger, you may be spoiled for mousing on your Mac. And while you can't generate fancy charts, built-in tools let you email an index or a family card and customize a slide show for an external display. Here's the perfect way to give Aunt Sally a tour of the family tree on her TV.
Documentation and publication
Reports and publishing have to be done on the Mac end. Assigning a source to an event can become a pain if you already have a long list of sources; unlike the desktop software, the app has no easy way to search for or jump to an existing source.
While lacking the desktop software's extensive Find options, basic searching of your file is a snap. You can also customize the Index view, bookmark individuals and quickly identify relatives of any description; the Relatives feature is actually more flexible than on the Mac.
The verdict
If you already own Reunion for the Mac and an iPad, this is a no-brainer -- maybe the best $14.99 you've ever spent on genealogy. Other Mac users might be tempted to switch to Reunion for the ease and elegance of this iPad option. And Windows users, well, you've always suspected Mac addicts were having more fun -- and this proves it.
Tip: Want to switch your Reunion "home card" in the iPad app? Navigate to a card, tap Tools in the lower-right and choose Make This the Home Card.

when I mounted the ross I had no intent on an addition so this was kind of an afterthought. The head of the Ross goose is actually resting on the foot of the honker to give it a little interest and make up for a bird that was already dried.

text: To quote Phil Jackson: "I have had a stomach full of Billups". And not because of his forays to the hoop, which was the context in which Phil made that comment. BTW, when was the last time you say him consistently drive and finish in traffic instead of settling for his streaky 3pt shot? I know he's only three seasons removed from leading us to the Championship, but there are some strong indications his over-confidence and misplaced ego are out of control, which is the exact opposite of what the Piston's need to move forward and re-gain the Championship belts. 1. At the end of the Boston series this was the general fallout: The fan's were pissed. Dumar's was pissed - as in, all your asses are now on the trade market, but I am cool with that - kind of pissed. Mr D? Bet he was pissed. Sheed has looked pissed at not getting to the finals, both this and last year, and knows its time for change: "That's the end, man". Dice weeps. In public. Again. And Billup's reaction was along the lines of "I hope Joe does not make any major changes. That he keeps things the same way." Great. 2. Down 0-1 to Philly, Billups states that even if they go down 0-2, he still feels like they are going to win the series. Do I need to say anymore? 3. Now this. Bucher breaks the news that Billups has taken his name out of consideration for one of the spots on the 12-man Olympic team: ESPN - Citing family reasons, Billups pulls out of consideration for Beijing - Olympic Basketball Some poignant comments have already been made in another thread, so I won't rehash them, except the suggestion that the timing to announce his decision makes no sense. Why withdraw now at the 11th hour? Why not withdraw earlier, or later, instead of virtually on the eve of the team being announce? Its an honor just to be in consideration, even if you did not make the 12 man team. It would be an honor to be selected, even if you had to decline shortly afterwards, so why withdraw now? It was obvious he was going to be left off. A shallow PR move if I ever saw one. He cannot accept that he is no longer a top-tier PG (and IMO stopped being one when LB left town). Even Isiah knew when it was time, and gave up ALL his minutes on the Dream Team II, even when he could have still dominated during spot minutes. Mr Big Ego needs to go.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
So, what are your plans?
I'm attending the Portland Zine Symposium 24 hour zine challenge in July 21!
Views: 552
I'm proper excited about this! Especially the prompts like learning a new skill and writing a letter to a Zine Crush or favourite distro. One thing I am planning to do is to keep an art journal of my exeriences completing the prompts and update my zine blog as I go (secondhandnewszine.blogspot.co.uk).
Also *might* attempt the 24hr zine? Definitely looking forward to seeing what others on here come up with! ^_^
Hell yeah, IZM '12. Thanks, Alex, for the handy list of suggestions that came in my recent order. I'm planning on doing most of teh thingz, except maybe putting on an event. Not sure that's going to happen. I'm looking at this as a Zine Boot Camp. :) I'm going through a huge decluttering thing right now, so I'll probably do a combination of research/found ideas/personal commentary. Plus, I'm digging the Get Fit For The Pit zine, so I'll probably focus on something physical. Like the contact staff and parkour. Wheeeeeeeee! :D
I'm aiming to tackle every task of every day of the 31.
We'll see...!
Well, I published my fourth zine last week, and it's the first one I have completed in five years. In celebration of this accomplishment, I signed up for the 24 Hour Zine Thing (it feels ambitious, but possible). I also bought a whole slew of zines off Etsy and will do recommendations on my blog and tumblr all month long. There is some great stuff there, I was happy while browsing. Plus I love getting mail.
Oh, Taryn and I are doing a review-a-day as extra credit on the blog @ Philly Feminist Zine Fest. Check it out:here.
I love the list and am going to try and do as many of the action items as I can. I also did a blog post about it and will blog more as the on the continues.I am working on a mini-zine right now (although it is taking more time than a regular one) and will also hopefully have time to do another one. Yay IZM!
I already sent out my zine for review. I have trades set up to go out this week. I got in contact with a zine librbary, and will be sending copies to them next week....and hopefully more : )
I'm so happy everyone likes the activities list! I sort of threw this one together and hope to do a different one next year. People are already suggesting things for next year like submitting something to a comp zine. We wanted to try to get shops that sell zines together to create a Free Zine Day modeled after Free Comic Book Day but it just didn't come together. We were hoping it would be a great way to get 24 hour zines out. maybe next year?
Day 1 - I posted here!
Day 2 - I told some distros that I thought they were great
Day 3 - I organized the zines at the Portland Button Works shop....I hope that is good enough!
Day 4 - Not sure what I'm going to teach myself today. My partner, Paul, has been trying to get me to draw comics. Maybe I'll do some drawings today.
I'm sending out my zines to small distros, making new zines, starting a zine podcast (I was inspired by yours and Derek's, Alex, and also by Sarah and Sage's), contributing to a friend's new zine, and I don't know what else! Whee! This is really fun.
Don't forget the Musea Zine Hall of Fame. This has been going on for over 10 years and celebrates many of the best:
Well, I'm pretty sure i'm going to a Valenzine's day letter writing part at Portland Button works. Maybe work on my zine.

In an historic setting, members of the European Union signed the Treaty of Lisbon which reform's the blocs institutions and provides for stronger central leadership. Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates told leaders of the EU, "This was the European project that m any generations dreamed of and other before us championed with a vision of the future." President Sarkozy of France welcomed the treaty as finally allowing the EU move forward after years of controversy and delay. It is a treaty that ensures an enlarged European bloc now exists that stretches from the Mediterranean to the Baltic, from the Atlantic ocean to the Black Sea. The current system of rotating presidents will be replaced in 2009 with a long-term president of the European Council allows for creation of a foreign policy leader.
The European Union has been steadily and slowly evolving from a confederation of nations into a possible federal system which would allow for centralized leadership while retaining national symbols of authority. It is a free market area encompassing nearly 500 million people and will undoubtedly grow even larger with the possible entry of the Ukraine and Turkey. The admittance of Turkey will expand boundaries of Europe into the Middle East and from there , who knows where it will lead?

< Jan. 30, 2013 > -- Many of us get enough folic acid - a type of B vitamin - from the foods we eat. But some people may need to take a folic acid supplement. There has been some concern that such supplements may increase a person's risk for cancer. But the findings from a new research review found no such cancer connection.
To better understand the effects of folic acid supplements on the body, British researchers reviewed the results of all large randomized studies through 2010 that included folic acid supplements. The combined studies had about 50,000 participants.
From their analysis, researchers found that taking a daily folic acid supplement for up to five years didn't increase a person's risk for cancer. Taking these supplements even longer and at higher doses also seemed to show no significant rise in cancer risk. In fact, people who took folic acid supplements daily were just as likely to be diagnosed with cancer as those who did not take them.
And some studies suggest that folic acid may help prevent cancer, particularly colorectal cancer. But more research is needed to verify this link.
Folic acid is also known as folate. The body uses this vitamin to help produce new cells. It's especially important for pregnant women. It helps protect the growing baby from birth defects such as spina bifida, a condition that causes damage to the spinal cord and nerves.
Folic acid is found naturally in many foods. Some of the best sources of this vitamin include:
Dark-green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and romaine lettuce
Legumes, such as black-eyed peas and kidney beans
Other vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts and broccoli
Breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid
This study was published online in The Lancet.
For more information on health and wellness, please visit health information modules on this website.
Although you can get most vitamins and minerals you need through a well-balanced diet, some people can benefit from also taking a supplement. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a vitamin supplement may be helpful if you fit any of these profiles:
You frequently skip meals or don't eat enough fruits, vegetables, grain, and dairy products.
You're on a low-calorie diet.
You're a strict vegetarian.
You can't drink milk or eat yogurt.
You're a woman of childbearing age and don't eat fruits and vegetables.
You are pregnant.
If you believe you should take vitamin supplements, talk with your doctor or dietitian to make sure you are taking the correct amount. He or she will also check that the supplements are not causing an interaction with other medications you take or any conditions you may have.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.

Is your company drowning in debt? No, we don't mean the fancy fleet of cars that aren't paid for, or the new artwork in the lobby bought on credit-we're talking about technical debt. In this column, Johanna Rothman has a few tips on how to recognize technical debt in your organization.
Technical debt is the unfinished work your organization owes your product. It comes in varieties: requirements debt, design debt, and testing debt. It causes the developers to have trouble finding and fixing defects, and causes testers to have trouble knowing how and what to test.
You may be working in an organization where technical debt is an intentional choice, in exchange for gaining the benefit of time or resources. However, if the debt is hidden, by not collecting metrics, managers can play the "pass the hidden debt" game, hoping to drop it into someone else's hands before interest comes due. Keeping the debt visible helps keep the level of gaming down.
Recognizing Technical Debt
If you're a tester, how can you recognize technical debt? Look for indicators like these:
- As soon as the developers fix one defect, five more previously unknown defects pop up
- Testing time increases disproportionately to the development time
- Your developer to tester ratio is 1:1, and you still don't have enough testers because you're sure you haven't fully tested the product
- Developers start talking about re-architecting or redesigning the product. If the design debt is overwhelming, the developers start saying things like, "Nope, I'm not touching that. That's a feature, not a bug. If you want me to fix that, I'll have to re-architect the product"
- Developers refuse to touch a part of the product saying, "No one but Fred can touch that. I know Fred left three years ago, but no one else can work on it, because we don't understand it"
- Your developers threaten to leave because all they do is "maintenance"
- Developers and testers become experts at crisis management, spending more time supporting current customers—solving customer problems, fixing defects, verifying the fixes, and answering customer questions—than they spend developing and testing the product scheduled for release next month
- You're putting out point releases or patches weekly or daily
- You can't decide what not to test, because the risk of not testing everything, even for a point release, is too high
- You ship the product not because it's ready, but because everyone is too tired to continue the crunch mode you've been in
- You stop testing because you don't want to find more defects
- Your cost to fix a defect continues to increase, from release to release. (If you'd like to see a picture of this dynamic, check out Weinberg's Quality Software Management, Volume 4)

Journalist and author Christian Parenti (son of author/professor Michael Parenti) has just published a fascinating, in-depth look at the US's intentions for Iraq's oil industry in the March 19th issue of The Nation called Who Will Get The Oil?
It begins: "Iraq's postwar oil bonanza remains a mirage. The country has the second- or third-largest reserves in the world, making petroleum the heart and vast bulk of its economy. Thus in March 2003 did Paul Wolfowitz assure Congress that Iraq would "finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon." American planners predicted that Iraq's oil production would triple to a feverish 6 million barrels per day by 2010.
Instead war, corruption, sectarian slaughter and a massive crime wave have reduced the country's once mighty petroleum sector to an industrial zombie: still ambulatory, functional but essentially dead."

From Leftover Crack's Myspace page:
"The NYPD & LOC. To protect & serve the censorship of punk rock.
Heads up. Apparently the NYPD cheif of police & the working stiff racist self-serving pigs of this corrupt murdering plunger-raping poice department have decided that if Leftover Crack is allowed to practice free-speech in the city of New york, they will threaten to shut down the venues that harbor our concerts. We only speak & sing about killing cops. This does not cotton to the "freedom" espoused by these pigs as the american way of life they claim to defend. Have you seen the billboards reading "support our troops at home and abroad" with a photo of a menacing army fatigue wearing baby-killer as well as one of our very own home-town pigs. What this billboard implies is that besides our "enemies" overseas, there is a war against the citizens of this country & the troops are the police that your tax-paying dollar supports. these blue-uniformed soldiers are our enemies & one day you will call them to report your neighbors loud music playing and the next day they will kick in your front door under the usual false pretenses. And when you have a bullet in your head because you were reaching for your standard identification card you'll be lucky if these fuckers even apologize to your loved ones. because after all, they were only following their standard procedures of shoot first ask the dead body questions later.

Mailorder was closed this past week because I was in New Orleans for my first Mardi Gras (here's a shout-out to the Krewe de la Mort and Karen of WTUL!) and first visit to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. I'd been to NOLA a bunch in the 90s, but nothing prepared me for the devastation in both rich and poor neighborhoods and business districts throughout the flooded areas. It's shameful that it's been a year and a half and miles of the city are either uninhabited or lightly inhabited. The fact that our President didn't even mention New Orleans in January's State of the Union address is reason enough to impeach the motherfucker!
s a new item that says it all. East New Orleans is a swampy area within New Orleans city limits. From the 2/20/07 issue of New Orlean's alternative weekly Gambit Weekly:
A citywide search led by New Orleans firefighters ended in June. Estimates by both Orleans Coroner Dr. Frank Minyard and State Medical Examiner Dr. Louis Cataldie put Katrina's death toll in Louisiana above 1,500. But, during a November budget hearing at City Hall, Minyard told the City Council that the Michoud area had not yet been canvassed. In December, Gagliano said the search for remains would resume after the holidays. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), which clashed with the city over funding issues tied to previous searches, is not involved in the proposed search of the Michoud area, says Gagliano."
Sorry for any delay! We will be open as usual for mailorder during SXSW week. Rock on!
The release date of the dvd is to be determined, but the official World Premiere of the finished version of the 86 minute documentary will be at this year's San Francisco Noise Pop Festival on Saturday March 3rd, 2007!

German federal justice to speak Nov. 12 at Wayne Law
DETROIT — German Constitutional Court Justice Andreas Paulus will speak Tuesday, Nov. 12, at Wayne State University Law School about how the U.S. response to terrorism differs from that of European nations faced with the same challenges.
The lecture will be from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at the law school, 471 W. Palmer St. It is free and open to the public. Parking will be available for $6.50 in Structure One across West Palmer Street from the law school.
Paulus is a justice on the highest court in Germany, the Federal Constitutional Court.
"It is a rare privilege to have a justice of a European constitutional court speak at Wayne Law," said Professor Gregory Fox, director of the law school's Program for International Legal Studies, which is presenting the lecture as part of its 2013-14 Speaker Series. "But Andreas Paulus is quite at home at a law school, having been a leading professor of international law before his appointment to the German Constitutional Court in 2010. We are honored to have such an esteemed jurist and leading academic to address such a timely topic."
Many of the legal challenges faced by U.S. courts due to terrorism – the need for intelligence versus privacy concerns, profiling of criminal suspects, detention without trial – also have been addressed in European legal systems, Fox said.
Paulus is a member of the External Advisory Committee for the Program for International Legal Studies, is widely published and consulted on topics of international law, and holds the chair in public and international law at the Georg-August-University Gottingen in Germany.
For more details about the lecture, call (313) 577-3620 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Had a blast! Wasn't shooting because I'm still new and IDPA uses a bit of pre-fire gun handling. Better safe and on the side-lines this year. Though some of the Saftey Officers did try to talk me into shooting. ;)
Interesting mix of people. No one I know but a few I had seen the day before. Most folks were drop dead nice though a few seemed to have that "competitor air" about them. Having been a competitor in other things I just had to laugh and quietly pray I never get that way.
There was the abundance of light weight vests that no one really wears in public. Except for one stage that had you put on a bathrobe! I've decided to shoot in my Hawaiian Shirt; the commando vest thing just kinda makes them seem like clones.
I'll see if I can get a list of the stages. They looked interesting and definately challenging!

Data for Olympus PEN EPL1, E600 and Sony A450Wednesday March 31 2010
Data for the Leica M9 also available - read the DxOMark review for this model.
View new data for the Olympus PEN EPL1 , the Olympus E600 and the Sony Alpha 450.
Further readings for the Data for Olympus PEN EPL1, E600 and Sony A450
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Launched in September 2009, the Leica M9 is the first full-frame (24x36mm) rangefinder camera provided by the famous German brand. For its top of the line camera, Leica provides a new 18 Mpix CCD sensor. It is important to note that Leica is the only brand that still makes cameras with CCD sensors; all other main full-frame cameras have CMOS sensors.
