MELBOURNE Rebels foundation player Mark Gerrard has taken aim at his former team following speculation that the Super Rugby club was looking to sign former Wallaby half-back Luke Burgess next season.
Burgess joined French club Toulouse on a three-year contract after the 2011 World Cup, but his wife, Emily, gave birth to their first baby last November and it is believed he is seeking a release from the final year of his contract.
There is uncertainty surrounding Rebels half-back ranks beyond this year with incumbent No. 9 Nick Phipps and utility back Richard Kingi off contract at the end of this season, although 21-year-old Nic Stirzaker, who has played four Super Rugby games, is contracted until 2014.
However, Gerrard seemingly took umbrage at the spectre of Burgess hanging over Phipps, the 2011 rookie of the year who has been a genuine find for the Rebels having played 12 games for the Wallabies, including starting in the final three Tests of the Spring Tour last year.
Gerrard, who was one of the Rebels' best players in the club's first two seasons before moving to Japanese club Tokyo Shokki, posted on social media: ''Heard the Rebels signed L. Burges [sic] for next year. What's doing [Rebels]? N. Phipps has played the house down for two years for you blokes.''
He followed that up minutes later with: ''Anyone should look to poach the kid.'' The posts were removed shortly afterwards.
Rebels list manager Sam Cordingley said Gerrard's comment that Burgess had been signed was incorrect and the club would would not discuss players who were contracted elsewhere.
But he said with Phipps and Kingi not signed beyond this season, ''if he [Burgess] was to come off contract … a guy of Luke's calibre we'd be remiss as a club not to consider it''.
Meanwhile, the Rebels have chosen Kurtley Beale to play his first match of the year when he starts at five-eighth in Saturday's Super Rugby trial against the Hurricanes.

Collection Overview
Table of contents
This collection is comprised of press clippings, correspondence, artwork, brochures, and other material regarding the personal and professional life of Miné Okubo. Includes material on Okubo's book
Citizen 13660
and the art exhibit
Miné Okubo: An American Experience
. Mailings from Okubo to personal contacts that contain correspondence, artwork, exhibit brochures, and original envelopes are also included. Additionally, there is material on Japanese American life in the United States that focuses on the World War II internment of Japanese Americans, Miné Okubo's experiences at war relocation camps during World War II, and the history of Japanese Americans in Riverside, California.
Miné Okubo was born on June 27, 1912 in Riverside, California. Okubo attended Riverside Junior College and went on to receive both a bachelor's and master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. In 1938, Okubo was awarded the Bertha Henicke Taussig Traveling Fellowship to study art in Europe for eighteen months. At the conclusion of her fellowship Okubo returned to the United States and accepted a job as an artist through the federal Works Progress Administration in Northern California. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941 would forever change the course of Okubo's life. On April 24, 1942 she was forced into a Japanese internment camp and had to relocate to the Tanforan Relocation Camp in San Bruno, California and was later transferred to the Central Utah Relocation Camp in Topaz, Utah. While being held at the relocation camp Okubo completed numerous pen and ink drawings that illustrated daily life for the camp's detainees. She would later publish this collection of drawings and sketches in the acclaimed book Citizen 13660 that gave the world insight into the treatment of the Japanese at these camps. Okubo eventually moved to New York, New York and continued her career as an artist creating numerous artistic works throughout her career that included illustrations for several publications such as Fortune, Time, and Life. She also served as an active voice of the Japanese American community and even testified before the Congressional Commission on Wartime Relocation in 1981. Miné Okubo died on February 10, 2001 at the age of 88 in Greenwich Village in New York City.

Dude, you are a shit troll, this style has been done before and better, so give it the fuck up because its not funny. I am sure however you have choked on a few hotdogs before now..
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Awww, for a "cage fighter*" you sure are sensitive!
*troll version, not real.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
And that proves what exactly? Can you give us the names of people you train with then? Who can confirm you exist outside of trollville?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
A shame to see that the end product from this entertaining troll who made me laugh more than once is that it was created to promote Immortals at the expense of other Aberdeen gyms. Lame
Maybe the worst 2-0 MMA fighter in history. @jimbojitsusbg granitecitygrappling.com
Christ if thats what he is supposed to be doing, I would rethink that strategy, would you really want to train where this troll claims to?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Well if you are associated with it, I imagine any normal person would steer the fuck clear.
Well done on the kind of troll job that drags a club into and makes them look like they train idiots who put fake pics on their FB etc...
If anyone knows someone from that gym, give them a shout and see if they support this fool?

Alligator snapping turtles can spend up to 50 minutes suspended motionless underwater. Usually only females come on land, when laying their eggs. They tend to move less than a few hundred feet per day and do not appear to travel far from where they were born.
Eggs and turtle hatchlings risk being eaten by raccoons, large fish, wading birds, and otters, but adult turtles have no natural predators except for humans. To defend themselves, these snappers secrete a smelly substance. They also have a very strong bite.
The alligator snapping turtle goes fishing, literally. It is the only reptile that has a worm-like appendage on its tongue, and uses it as bait to lure fish into its mouth. In addition, these omnivores eat shellfish, small mammals, birds, frogs, fruits, acorns, grasses, and other turtles. Adults have even been known to eat small alligators. Their rough, bumpy skin and shell provide good camouflage when they are sizing up a meal.
Raccoons, otters, frogs, snakes, alligators
Depending on the turtle's location, mating season varies from fall to spring. Snappers make their nests in sandy soil near water. The female turtle excavates the nest area with her hind legs and fills in the flask-shaped hole after laying her eggs. A clutch can number up to 44 eggs! Temperature determines the sex of the hatchlings. Hotter weather results in more female hatchlings; if the temperature is above 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the clutch will be all female. After 79 to 107 days, the turtles hatch, looking like mini-adults. They grow rapidly until they reach maturity at around 12 years of age. Alligator snapping turtles typically live for up to 70 years in zoos, and some can live even longer.
The alligator snapping turtle is considered a vulnerable species. These turtles have been heavily trapped for meat for consumers both inside and outside the U.S. Habitat loss and pesticide use also threaten these reptiles. Every state with alligator snappers has restrictions for hunting them.

Food and Immigrant Life: The Role of Food in Forced Migration, Migrant Labor, and Recreating Home (Day 2)
The conference is an opportunity to firmly place issues of immigration and food service work in the context of a broader social justice agenda and to explore the central role food plays in expressing rich cultural heritage.
Speakers will examine the complex relationships between food, migration, and immigration. Food scarcity is not only at the root of much human displacement and migration—the food industry also offers migrants an entry point into the U.S. economic system while, simultaneously, confines migrants to low wages and poor, if not unsafe, work conditions. In addition, food is a primary vehicle for migrants to maintain their cultural identity, which is so important to displaced peoples.
The keynote address will be given by Dolores Huerta, co-founder and first Vice President Emeritus of United Farm Workers of America, on Thursday, April 18 at 6:00pm.Confirmed speakers are Sean Basinski, Yong Chen, Alexandra Delano, Von Diaz, Hasia Diner, Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, James C. Hathaway, Saru Jayaraman, Ellen Ernst Kossek, Marie Myung-Ok Lee, Arup Maharatna, Fabio Parasecoli, Jeffrey Pilcher, Dwaine Plaza, Krishnendu Ray, Monique Truong, Koko Warner, and Tiphanie Yanique. Visit the online program for all details.

You don't have to be graded in BJJ at all as you may never want to wear a gi, but it is important to have grappling to a decent level if you want to succeed obviously. There are many cases of guys who are technically white belts beating BJJ black belts on the ground, but that doesn't mean those 'white belts' are shit grapplers by any stretch.
Re: the original post, of course it's money orientated.
I think there a lot of pro fighters who have never graded I have never really graded I got given a blue belt after a couple of bjj classes but I see my self as a white belt really has I have only ever put a gi on twice..
The only time a gi has ever looked cool
Attachment 9276
I agree with both sides. yeah a lot of people rush in with little to none ground game (and hands) and it horrible watching or even hearing about these fights and the promotions putting them on (lets not get started on that 1)
I don't think I would hurt say getting a blue belt or even a high white belt in bjj b4 you compete ammy MMA. also just because some1 doesn't wear a gi and have a blue/purple what eva belt in bjj dose not mean there not I high level grappler and just haven't worn a gi ect.
In my opinion, the 10th Planet system suits MMA as it is all no-gi.
I think so and mat Serra.

Re: WNST Pity Party
If work means having your boss stand up and talk about how many back stage passes he's had for concerts, how many women he's scored, how many athletes haven't been nice to him and how this poor deprived child from Dundalk who didn't like his birth parents or grandparents could "only" go to 40+ baseball games per season, then by all means, do all the work for me.
If you aren't interested, why bother to even chime in about it? You've made your point, you don't like Nestor. Enough said.

Re: WNST Pity Party
Actually Birdbrain, the "repetition" you speak of is this:
Orioles in '98 - losing season
Orioles in '99 - losing season
Orioles in '00 - losing season
Orioles in '01 - losing season
Orioles in '02 - losing season
Orioles in '03 - losing season
Orioles in '04 - losing season
Orioles in '05 - losing season
Orioles in '06 - losing season
I accepted it in '98. Figured it would take a year or two to get better.
I took it in '99 and '00. Started to get concerned in '01. Thought, "it can't
get worse than this, can it?" in '02 and '03. Started to get frustrated in '04,
got downright fed up in '05 and now, I'm ready to say, "I've had enough" in '06.
The efforts of the rally next week ARE going to matter. I guarantee it.
They're going to matter to US.
Do you go to the gym Birdbrain? Do you work out? If so, why? Do you think those efforts at the gym matter to anyone else? They don't. But they matter to YOU.
The rally will matter to me and anyone else that goes and that's all that matters. If the Orioles are satisfied with losing games and losing fans at an all-time record pace, that doesn't mean that WE have to be satisfied with it.
What would you and the rest of the people on 24x7 do if the Ravens suffered a similar plight? Would you sit around with your thumb up your backside or would try to let the franchise know you're not satisfied?
When I wrote, "we'll do your work for you", what I should have written was, "we'll take your balls and carry them to the stadium with us next week and then we'll give them back to you when the game's over."

Re: WNST Pity Party
Since when does sleeping with the enemy require balls?
You know if you went to Ruth's Chris and they served up lousy food and bad service, would you go back? If you say that Angelos is delivering a bad product and service, why are you buying his product? Isn't a boycott the ultimate message? That's how I protest the losing and the inadequacies of the Orioles from top to bottom.
Go ahead and take your balls...take mine too.. I appreciate the offer. And when you return them, I'll return your mind to you because obviously you've lost yours if you think this rally will do anything to Angelos except give him a good hearty laugh.
The laugh will be on WNST and its sponsors. Hey I have a new slogan for your station, WNST, the station with balls. Oh that's right, you've used that one already. How about this one, WNST, the station with balls and no brains.
Maybe we should begin protesting WNST's rotten signal. Hey, how about this protest? "Sell WNST!" And to help entice you to do that, I'll advertise my business on your station. Gee that makes sense and it sure does show some balls!

Re: WNST Pity Party
Business/economics not your strong point, huh Bbrain?
If my meal at Ruth's Chris isn't good, I don't stop eating steak. I just find some other restaurant to patronize. There are 100 steak places in Baltimore.
There is not another baseball team in Baltimore. You from around here? There's the Orioles and nothing else.
Some disgruntled fans have taken their summer baseball money to Bowie,
Aberdeen, Frederick, etc., but Jeter, Thome, A-Rod, Ortiz, Delgado, etc. don't play in those minor league cities. They visit BALTIMORE. If you want
major league baseball in Baltimore, you go to Camden Yards.
So sure, you can just NOT go, which 30,000 people (including me) are doing just about every night when the O's are at home. That hasn't worked well. Attendance is dropping every year and the team is still non-competitive and the city is more disassociated with the club now than ever before.
And after a while of not going, you eventually miss it to the point where you say, "Gee, I wonder if we should be trying some other method of letting the
owner know how disgruntled we've become?" Hence, September 21.
Let's now end this back-and-forth crap. Post one more flamer at me, try another illogical comparison about why we're wrong for rallying, and then let's move on to talking about the Ravens impending 34-3 win over the Raiders.

Re: WNST Pity Party
The competition is for entertainment dollars. If I'm not entertained by the Orioles and I feel the apathy that I do, I take my entertainment dollars elsewhere, like Aberdeen or Frederick as you suggest. If I want to see ARod or Jeter, I think there's a good chance I'll get plenty of that on Sportscenter. I have alternatives for my entertainment dollar -- my discretionary income. This isn't an oligopoly.
So your steak analogy misses the mark and apparently you missed economics class about as often as Daniel Cabrera misses the strike zone.
So there's my flamer...
And finally, we agree on something although I see the score as 24-3

Re: WNST Pity Party
I have to say that the morning crew at WNST was dead on point this morning. What is even more horrible is that the MASN "money" does not make a bit of difference. Peter Angelos does not believe ballplayers should make the money they are commanding and thus won't pay. Angelos wouldn't pay 14.5M for Roy Oswalt because he works "once every five days?" What an idiot Angelos is.
Basically, we are being forced to pay an extra 2 dollars to see MASN (which I have not been impressed with, by the way), and Angelos won't use that money to bring in top flight players. He will only pay for players within the range HE deems as appropriate for a major league player to make. In other words, forget about Soriano, Texieria, and Carlos Lee. Forget about Barry Zito. Get ready for Jose Cruz, Jrs of the world to further pollute this team.
Lastly, they Ruthschris analogy was dead on point. As one that is a lover of fine foods, I expect to pay high prices for QUALITY food. Folks will pay money for a quality product regardless of the price.
In short (because I have to get back to work), this Angelos interview just shows that the Orioles will flounder in last place until Satan calls Angelos home. It does not matter, because all Angelos cares about is "being right." What an idiot!It's a new season! It's a new day!
Re: WNST Pity Party
I've not read this whole thing but I hope the debate was civil. This is not the old site or the Sun board. I'll read the whole thing on Friday.
df- You have my support. Anyone who takes on that miserable little Lawyer is ok by me. If I were in Balt I'd be there on the 21st. And like I've said numerous times, it isn't really the losing. It's the way the Baltimore Base Ball Club has been destroyed and stripped of class. The Orioles that I fell in love with as a kid, when my poor grandfather would schlep to the Memorial Stadium gates 2 hours before they would even open, are no more. It is a truly sad day when an Owner can ruin even the best of memories.

Re: WNST Pity Party
Angelos saying that "the fact that people are telling him they want Baltimore on the road jerseys sort of influences his decision to do nothing about it", is all I needed to hear. This guy will spite his home fans just to say "I'm the owner, I make the decisions". Pure asshole.
Re: WNST Pity Party
The Moon today was pretty good. Nestor actually focused on the issues at hand and went over some history of the Ravens coming into town and how they did everything right whereas the Orioles have done everything wrong in terms of fan relations (and just about everything else for that matter). Gotta give credit where credit is due.
I don't know if I am coming out early but I will try to come to the game.
Re: WNST Pity Party
I'm constantly surfing during my 20 minute drives to and from work.
Nothing makes me change the channel faster than hearing that "angry boob from Parkville".
Good Lord, this dude needs to get a life. It seems he's on every station, every day.
He sounds like that mouthy little kid who isn't allowed to hang with the big kids.
His voice gets shaky and he always sounds like he's either ready to have an aneurysm or break out crying.
His "lecturing tone" he can shove up his @$$, he ain't good sports radio regardless if he eventually makes a good point! I change the channel.
Re: WNST Pity Party
haha, good old Bob from Parkville.
Apparently he has been calling radio stations for years. He probably never leaves the house and gets food from the sisters of the poor.
Call in sometime and call him out over the air, thats always fun. He'll be sure to call in and get the "shaky voice" when firing back at you. Good times. The other day when he called Haney and shockingly started to talk about the great John Unitas then someone else followed up with another Unitas story. I almost called in and to talk about the time John rescued those orphans from a burning building and cured polio, all in the same day.

From my perspective, how grief is experienced can differ significantly from person to person. Consequently, I place considerable emphasis on being present to whatever a person brings into the room whether it be profound sadness, anger, numbness, regret, self-blame, or any other emotion. I think it is very important to convey the willingness to bear witness without judgment. If a person appears stuck and is struggling to move out of a more complicated, entrenched experience of grief, my approach becomes more cognitive and solution focus without sacrificing the depth of presence I believe is necessary when offering service to someone suffering from such a profound loss.

On WND, Frequent Fox Guest Geller Says Obama "Sounds Like ... Kim Jong-Il Or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In a January 10 column on WorldNetDaily, conservative blogger and frequent Fox guest Pamela Geller attacked President Obama and his administration, claiming, "Moochers and looters are making the laws." She referred to Obama as "America's most dangerous president," then later wrote that Obama, in promising to protect middle class interests and boost the economy, "sounds like the late Kim Jong-il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Everything he says is devoid of reality."
From Geller's column:
And this Wednesday, the White House is hosting an "Insourcing American Jobs" forum that will feature "business leaders who are bringing jobs back home [to] see how we can help other businesses follow their lead." Obama explained that this seminar was important "because this is a make or break moment for the middle class and all those working to get there. We've got to keep at it. We've got to keep creating jobs. And we've got to keep rebuilding our economy so that everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share - and everyone plays by the same rules."
Does anyone else get nauseated when they hear America's most dangerous president spew such enormous lies? Right now unemployment is just under 10 percent. During the Bush administration it was under 5 percent. Someone bring back the bad old days of Bush.
No one, in the history of this nation, has done more than Barack Obama has done to tip the scales, pay off thug unions, demonize and marginalize wealth creators, destroy the economy, cripple capitalism and saddle every single American with incalculable debt. Yet Obama has the audacity of deceit to say that America is "headed in the right direction." He vowed: "This year, I'm going to keep doing whatever it takes to move this economy forward and to make sure that middle class families regain the security they've lost over the past decade. That's my New Year's resolution to all of you."
He sounds like the late Kim Jong-il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Everything he says is devoid of reality.
Moochers and looters are making the laws. They must be stopped in November.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in furtherance of the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project as authorized by the Act of December 22, 1944 (58 Stat. 887, 891)—
(a) title to the entire interest, excluding the interest in oil, gas, and all other minerals of any nature whatsoever, in approximately 55,993.82 acres of land within the taking area described in this Act on the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota and North Dakota, in which Indians have a trust or restricted interest, and title to any interest Indians may have in the bed of the Missouri River so far as it is within the boundaries of the Standing Rock Reservation, are hereby taken by the United
Page 862
States for the Oahe project on the Missouri River and in consideration thereof the United States will pay to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the individual Indian owners out of funds available for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project:
(1) a sum aggregating $1,952,040, to be disbursed in accordance with schedules prepared by the Missouri River Basin project investigation staff; and
(2) the amount of $3,299,513, which shall be in settlement of all claims, rights, and demands of the tribe and individual Indians arising out of the taking under this Act, to be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of section 2 hereof;
(b) upon a determination by the Secretary of the Army, filed among the appropriate land records of the Department of the Interior within two years from the date of enactment of this Act, that any of the lands described in this Act are not required for Oahe project purposes, title to such land shall be revested in the former owner; and
(c) if the Secretary of the Army determines that additional Indian lands, tribal or individual, within the Standing Rock Reservation are required for project purposes, he may acquire such lands by purchase with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, or by condemnation.
The payments authorized by this Act, less the amount heretofore deposited by the United States in the case entitled "United States of America, Plaintiff vs. 2,095.32 acres of land etc. and Sioux Indians of Standing Rock Reservation et al., Defendants", civil numbered 722 filed in the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota, shall be deposited to the credit of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the Treasury of the United States to draw interest on the principal at the rate of 4 per centum per annum until expended. The sum of $1,952,040 shall be allocated in accordance with the tract and ownership schedules to be prepared by the Missouri River Basin investigation staff after consultation with the tribal council to correct known errors. The amounts allocated to the lands owned by individual Indians shall be credited to their respective individual Indian money accounts. No part of the compensation for the property taken by this Act shall be subject to any lien, debt, or claim of any nature whatsoever against the tribe or individual Indians except delinquent debts owed by the tribe to the United States or owed by individual Indians to the tribe or to the United States. One-half of the amount paid pursuant to subsection 1 (a) (2) of this Act shall be consolidated with the rehabilitation appropriation authorized by section 5 of this Act and shall be expended in accordance with the provisions of section 5: Provided, That a sum not to exceed $726,546 shall be available from said remaining one-half to pay expenses, costs, losses, and damages of members of the tribe as a direct result of moving themselves and their possessions on account of the taking under section 1 of this Act. No part of such amounts shall be used for per capita payments.
The Secretary of the Army, out of funds appropriated for the construction of the Oahe project other than those authorized by this Act, shall relocate and reestablish such Indian cemeteries, tribal monuments, and shrines within the area taken under this Act as the Standing Rock Tribal Council shall select and designate, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
The Secretary of the Army is authorized and directed, out of funds appropriated for the Oahe project, to protect, replace, relocate, or reconstruct any existing essential agency facilities on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, including schools, hospitals, service buildings, agents' and employees' quarters, roads, bridges, and incidental matters or facilities in connection therewith, which the Secretary of the
Page 863
Interior determines will be impaired by the construction of the Oahe project.
There is authorized to be appropriated the further sum of $6,960,000, which shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to draw interest on the principal at the rate of 4 per centum per annum until expended for the purpose of developing individual and family plans, relocating, reestablishing, and providing other assistance designed to help improve the economic and social conditions of all recognized members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe regardless of residence on the reservation: Provided, That such fund may be expended in accordance with plans and programs approved both by the tribal council and the Secretary of the Interior: And provided further, That no part of such funds shall be used for per capita payments, or for the purchase of land by the tribe except for the purpose of resale to individual Indians in furtherance of the rehabilitation program authorized by this section.
All minerals, including oil and gas, within the area taken by this Act shall be and hereby are reserved to the tribe or individual Indian owners as their interests may appear, but the exploration, exploitation, and development of the minerals, including oil and gas, shall be subject to all reasonable regulations which may be imposed by the Secretary of the Army for the protection of the Oahe project.
Members of the tribe now residing within the taking area of the project shall have the right without charge to remain on and use the lands taken by this Act until required to vacate in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Up to sixty days before the individual landowners are required to vacate the land in accordance with the provisions of this Act, they shall have the right without charge to cut and remove all timber from their respective lands and to salvage the improvements on their respective lands but, if said rights are waived or not exercised within the time limit herein specified, the tribe, through the tribal council, may exercise the rights: Provided, That the salvage permitted by this section shall not be construed to be compensation.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the schedule under which the tribe and the members thereof shall vacate the taking area shall be as follows:
(1) Little Eagle and Wakpala districts, within eight months from the date of this Act;
(2) Kenel district, within twelve months from such date;
(3) Agency district, within eighteen months from such date; and
(4) Cannonball district, within twenty-four months from such date.
(b) The Chief of Engineers, subject to approval by the Secretary of the Interior, may make such changes in the schedule provided in subsection (a) of this section as he deems necessary, except that, in any event, all lands within the taking area shall be vacated within two years after that date on which the Missouri River is diverted through the tunnels at the Oahe Dam or such prior date as the Chief of Engineers may fix, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
After the Oahe Dam gates are closed and the waters of the Missouri River impounded, the said Indian tribe and the members thereof shall be given exclusive permission, without cost, to graze stock on the land between the water level of the reservoir and the exterior boundary of the taking area. The said tribal council and the members of said Indian tribe shall be permitted to have, without cost, access to the shoreline of the reservoir, including permission to hunt and fish in and on the aforesaid shoreline and reservoir, subject, however, to regulations governing the corresponding use by other citizens of the United States.
For the purposes of (1) providing substitute land for
Page 864
individual Indians whose land is within the taking area, (2) consolidating land holdings, and (3) eliminating fractionated heirship interests within the reservation, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to purchase, with funds made available by such individual Indians or by the tribe, land or interests in land, and to sell tribal land upon request of the tribe, but no service charge shall be made by the United States. The land selected by and purchased for individual Indians may be either inside or outside the boundaries of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation as diminished. Title to any land or interests in land acquired within the boundaries of the reservation shall be taken in the name of the United States in trust for the tribe or the individual Indian for whom the land is acquired, and title to any land or interests in land acquired outside the boundaries of the reservation shall be taken in the name of the individual for whom it is acquired. Trust title shall be subject to the laws and regulations applicable to other trust titles within the reservation.
For the purposes of this section, the Secretary of the Interior is also authorized to partition or sell individually owned land in which all interests are in a trust or restricted status upon request of the owners of not less than a 25 per centum interest in the land. Any such sale shall be by competitive bid, except that with the concurrence of the owners of not less than a 25 per centum interest in the land, any owner of an interest in the land, or the tribe, if the land is within the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, shall have the right to purchase the land within a reasonable time fixed by the Secretary prior to a competitive sale at not less than its appraised value. If more than one preference right is exercised, the sale shall be by competitive bid, limited to the tribe and to the persons entitled to a preference. The Secretary of the Interior may represent for the purpose of this paragraph any Indian owner who is a minor, or who is non compos mentis, or under any other legal disability, and, after giving reasonable notice of the proposed sale by publication, may represent an Indian owner who cannot be located, and he may execute any title documents necessary to convey a marketable and recordable title.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to diminish the authority to acquire, sell, or exchange land that is contained in other provisions of law.
No part of any expenditure made by the United States under any or all of the provisions of this agreement and the subsequent acts of ratification shall be charged as an offset or counterclaim against any tribal claim which has arisen under any treaty, law, or Executive order of the United States prior to the effective date of taking of said land as provided for in section 1 hereof and the payment of Sioux benefits as provided for in section 17 of the said Act of March 2, 1889 (25 Stat. 888), as amended, shall be continued under the provision of section 14 of the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), on the basis now in operation without regard to the loss of tribal land within the taking area under the provisions of this agreement.
The Secretary of the Treasury, upon certification by the Secretary of the Interior, shall reimburse the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for fees and expenses incurred in connection with the taking of Indian lands within the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation for the Oahe project: Provided, That such reimbursable fees and expenses do not exceed in the aggregate $135,000: Provided further, That attorney fees shall be paid under the terms of a contract approved by the Secretary of the Interior.

BT5 is meant for penetration testing. If you want to have a desktop linux os for normal usage, install ubuntu or something like that.
This is a high recommend questino of mine. Now I've found that BT5 is good but we should install it or not. My pendrive doesn't have enough space, so I need members' advices. BT5 is based on Lucid, Installing repositories or any apps running on ubuntu is considerd not very easy in some forum I google for.
THanks for advices
BT5 is meant for penetration testing. If you want to have a desktop linux os for normal usage, install ubuntu or something like that.
My friend,
Backtrack is recommended for PenTesters. That means it is meant to be used by people who are fluid in Linux, not just learning. I would recommend Ubuntu or Fedora for ya if yer just starting out.
I find having BT installed on my Lappy great for seek times and for all round awesomeness - but i all so have my mobile pendrive setup with the option;
Useing UNetbootin ("Space used to preserve files across reboots(Ubuntu only) set to 4 gig") this meens any thing that is downloaded, saved to desktop, updates,upgrades,dist upgrades are not lost during reboots;
I would recommend you getting either a bigger flash drive that wont kill the bank 8 gig flash drives going for $20 these days.;
Or installing this on your lappy for a dual boot option - the more you use the distro the more you will understand it;
I have backtract 5 KDE installed alongside Windows 7 and Ubuntu, I don't use backtract for pentesting, I just like to use backtract for daily desktop use, It took me a few days to get things working like in a normal desktop, installing all my favorite KDE applications, getting sound/video and printing working but still keeping backtract 5 intact for the purpose it was built for.
Thanks for your advices, I have XP running and dual Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I just plan to do that thing, but now I should turn into using VirtualBox. Thanks again. God bless you guys
I think it runs faster from a hard drive than from a thumb drive.
Yer gunna get pwn3d man...I don't use backtract for pentesting, I just like to use backtract for daily desktop use,
yes not a bad idea at all lol.
this is exactly what a bt user,for instance; setting up a honey, or rogue ap would love for you to believe at first glance.
"it's ok to have at it". not always,so much.

The American landscape has inspired generations of artists, but the 48 photographs in this presentation— by Steve Fitch, Robbert Flick and Elaine Mayes— are a far cry from traditional representations of the subject. Where painters of the Hudson River School saw the sublime and survey photographers of the 19th century discerned supernatural majesty in America's landscapes, Fitch, Flick and Mayes find evidence of civilization's rapid expansion into suburbs and exurbs. This view updated the idyllic portrayal of the American landscape that had persisted into the 20th century, notably in photographs by Ansel Adams. Informed by the reality of the interstate highway system and the increasingly mediated culture of 1970s America, these photographers depict the country in passing, as drive-through scenery rather than entrancing wilderness. Their images, created between 1971 and 1980, foreshadow today's even more media-saturated environment and the telegraphic relationship to the natural world that it encourages.
The photographs by Fitch, from his series Diesels and Dinosaurs, capture the typical sights and attractions that defined roadside America. Flick's photographs, drawn from his series Sequential Views, consist of grids of images made in Los Angeles in 1980 as he traversed the streets, stopping at prescribed temporal or geographical intervals. Mayes's photographs, from her Autolandscapes series, present America as seen from a moving car window.
The installation is part of a series that highlights objects from the museum's collection that are rarely on public display. The artworks in this installation were selected by Lisa Hostetler, the museum's McEvoy Family Curator for Photography.

An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and chemicals.
Antibodies may be produced when the immune system mistakenly considers healthy tissue a harmful substance. This is called anautoimmune disorder.
Each type of antibody is unique and defends the body against one specific type of antigen.

Miley Cyrus earns first Billboard Hot 100 number one
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus has landed the first number one single of her career.
On Wednesday, "Wrecking Ball" became the singer's first-ever Billboard Hot 100 topper. The song skyrocketed from number 22 to number one in a week, following the buzz surrounding its controversial video.
The video, which has Miley swinging on a wrecking ball in the nude, broke records on Vevo.com, drawing over 19 million views in its first 24 hours out. "Wrecking Ball" sold 477,000 downloads in the past week, charging from number ten to one on the Digital Songs chart. It blows far past Miley's previous sales record. The last time she came close was during Christmas of 2009, when "Party In The USA" sold 285,000 downloads.
The 20-year-old has come close to a number one single in the past. Both "We Can't Stop" and "Party In The USA" peaked at number two on the Hot 100.

I thank God that my mother was pro-life! I am the oldest of four children and I was born a year after Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Had my mother not valued life, I may have never been and my story would never have been known. She could have legally killed me in the year of my birth; she fit perfectly the profile of the modern day baby killer—a poor, uneducated, black woman living in the inner-city. My mother and father separated before I was four, so I have a scant recollection of them being together. What I do recall is my mother struggling to make ends meet. I remember us being on welfare, and getting food stamps and government cheese . . . oh how delicious those grilled government cheese sandwiches were, mmmm!
I remember occasionally looking into a bare refrigerator; I remember some winter nights sleeping in a cold house after the gas man shut off the heat for non-payment; I remember enduring the shame of going to the corner store with food stamps and trying to exit before any of my friends saw me—kids in those days cruelly mocked those on welfare—welfare was a dirty word. We had very little material wealth, we were poor and broke . . . but my siblings and I knew we were loved. We didn't have much cash, so my mother got creative in order to get other items she wanted but couldn't afford. I recall going to the corner store at various times throughout the day to break one dollar food stamps by purchasing penny and nickel candy until my mother had enough change to buy her Newport 100 cigarettes. If you've ever been on welfare, you'd understand. I was taught at a young age that with some effort, the government system could be manipulated.
Thankfully, it was too much effort for my mother! She found it difficult to support a smoking habit on welfare and she found it even more difficult to support a family—those were the days before welfare became a competitive sport. I am grateful that welfare was so uncomfortable and unpleasant, and degrading, that my mother was extremely discontent in her impoverished condition. As well, she believed that God was not pleased that she had strayed from her Christian faith. Resultantly, she rededicated her life to Christ and went back to school. Through hard work and by God's grace, she escaped the poverty trap—and she eventually quit smoking!
I watched in amazement as my mother persevered. She attained her GED and went on from there to complete her college degree. After a few bumps in the road, she landed a pretty good job and has not looked back since. Only in America could such a narrative be achievable. My mother told me that caring for my siblings and I gave her a reason to press on when she felt like giving up on life. Knowing that she had a responsibility to love, feed, and care for us, she says saved her life. She was poor, but she never considered aborting us as an option. Her belief in God gave her the conviction that abortion was wrong; it went against God's very law, "you shall not commit murder." My mother instilled her Christian values and strong work ethic in us, her children. Her story is the story of many men and women in this country who have struggled to raise children in poverty rather than see their posterity destroyed for mere convenience.
Why then, if poverty is not the end all, do abortion proponents make poverty a central argument to support their position? They use fear tactics to coerce women into committing unimaginable acts. It is this trumped up fear that often drives a women to make the decision to abort her child—a daunting fear—fear of the unknown, fear of their children growing up in poverty, fear of a lifelong responsibility, and many other fears. As a Christian, I have a responsibility to tell these women the truth! I have an obligation to stand against the sin of abortion and I do not deny the political ramifications of my stance. I recognize that Christianity is a political power as much as it is a religious rite[1] because "Democracy is not served by silence."[2]
How in America, did we reach such a moral regression that the mass murder of unborn children does not even raise an eyebrow but on the contrary is celebrated as "choice." Bad law, the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade is what essentially denied unborn children personhood, making them the property of the mother, and led to the "legal" murdering of millions of unborn children in the past quarter century. Pope John Paul II spoke out against abortion. He basically said that the new cultural climate had made crimes against unborn children exempt from punishment because these crimes had become State sanctioned legal rights of individuals. Even more shocking, these crimes would be committed with the assistance of health-care professionals and health-care systems. He rightly asserted that the Church should not be silent concerning their opposition to abortion laws.
So what Roe v. Wade did in denying unborn children personhood, it denied them basic civil rights and protection under the law from violence and murder from their mother and her doctor should the mother determine that for socioeconomic or health reasons, her child was unwanted. The same exact thing happened with bad law, 1857 Dred Scott v. Sanford, which denied blacks their citizenship and claimed that they were property of the slaveowner, and that blacks had no rights that the courts had to respect. Wow! In denying blacks their personhood, they had no basic civil rights and protection under the law from violence and murder from their slaveowners if their slaveowner determined that for socioeconomic or other reasons, the slave was no longer wanted or needed. Sounds similar?
Just as the unborn are now, blacks in America and Jews in Nazi Germany were once denied the right to life. What group will be next? We should all be concerned when mere men can determine which groups of people have the right to live and which do not. As a Christian, I have a duty to protect the most vulnerable in society, the defenseless—namely the unborn and others—from those who do not value their life but will change definitions and terms and make even the possibility of poverty, which all humans face, a reason for the termination of their life. God places a value on our life; it's a dangerous thing when we try and play God.
The notion that the unborn is a human being is not a religious assertion but a biological fact. They are no different than you and I except for size and development. By design, God chose the woman's body as the vehicle in which all humans should enter this world. The "fetus" growing inside of the woman is not an extension of the woman's body so that she could argue: it's my body to do what I please. The baby is a separate and new life with its own body and soul—a body that is properly nourished for growth and prepared for independent living through the care of the mother. Yet some reckon that because the mother provides the shelter, she can at any time decide terminate her child and have her child violently ripped from her womb—the mother's womb use to be the safest place on earth. But the child's father has no such right. If a father killed his unborn child, all agree that he is a murderer. America cannot be looked upon as a free and civilized nation when we do not recognize and value the basic right to life of every individual.
Scott Klusendorf, in his book, the Case for Life, raises the most pointed arguments for abortion. He asserts that some people claim that we shouldn't force our views on others. Would we say such a thing if someone wanted the right to choose to kill toddlers? Some argue their right to privacy. If I had a two year old toddler, may I kill him as long as I do it in the privacy of the bedroom? Some argue that poor woman cannot afford to raise children. When human beings get expensive, may we kill them? Or some argue that when a woman is raped, the baby is a painful reminder of the worst kind of violence against her. True indeed, and with compassion we should care for the victim. But how should a civil society treat innocent human beings who remind us of painful events. Should we kill them so we can feel better?
If the unborn are part of the human family, like toddlers, we should not kill them to make us feel better. It's better to suffer evil then inflict it. Sometimes the right thing to do is not the easy thing to do. Some say that government shouldn't get involved in our personal decisions. Can you imagine, even for a moment, suggesting such a thing in the instance of child abuse? If the unborn are in fact human, then abortion is the worst kind of child abuse imaginable. Some say that women would be forced to get dangerous back-alley abortions if abortion was restricted or made illegal. If the unborn are human then you are arguing that some people will die while attempting to kill others so the state should make it safe and legal for them to do so.
I pose a final question for pro-choice advocates. In the words of Klusendorf, "Why does the high number of abortions trouble you? After all, if abortions do not take the lives of defenseless human beings, why worry about reducing the number? If the unborn are not human, killing them through elective abortion requires no more justification than having your tooth pulled or tonsils removed, or removing an unwanted wart. However, if the unborn is a human being, killing him or her to benefit others is a serious moral wrong. I support a woman's right to choose a variety of things. But some choices are wrong, like killing innocent human beings simply because they are in the way and cannot defend themselves. " This is my case for life.
