Short answer: yes. Neville Longbottom and his entire family are considered 'Blood Traitors' by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. In fact, any pure-blood family, including the Weasleys, who associate themselves with "filth" such as Muggle-borns, Muggles and even Squibs are immediately classified as 'Blood Traitors' by the pure-blood extremists. As many notable extremists have been heard to say, they believe that to be a Blood Traitor is to be equally "inferior" to Muggles, Muggle-borns and Squibs. In Neville's case, Voldemort had briefly put aside his prejudice towards him during the break in 'the Battle of Hogwarts', admiring his courage and even asked him to join as another pure-blood Death Eater. Neville of course, being a far more courageous and loyal-to-the-cause man than anyone could have expected of him, told the incensed Voldemort, "I'll join you when hell freezes over!" Can you tell that Neville is one of my favourite characters, yet?--Yin&Yang 02:15, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
Lol..your answer was short enough....To sum up the whole essay you wrote....we can say that bascially anyone against Voldermort,or anyone who associates with Squibs,Muggle borns,Muggles or any other Blood traitor is a Blood Traitor.So,yes,neville is a blood traitor....--Beautiful altar 08:43, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
WOW !!!! that was a great answer b.altar...and yeah...u too yin&yang...but really loooong..--18.104.22.168 12:01, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Oh !!! jeez thanx...thats relli nice of u...and no, i think yin&yang's answer was as good as mine....maybe just a bit longer but just as informative !! :D --Beautiful altar 12:04, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks guys, I'm touched... sort of. I just try to give it my all when it comes to helping other Potter fans. This is probably the shortest comment I've left by far.--Yin&Yang 02:08, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

What ever happened to Seven Mary Three?
I was listening to Pandora today and chose the playlist of 1990s alt-rock music, because I needed a break from listening to One Direction's album (since I will be reviewing the album in a week or so). I grew up in the 1990s, and it was fin to hear chestnuts from Pearl Jam, Bush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Semisonic, and so on.
Then "Cumbersome" came on, and I remembered that I had always loved the song. So much so that I remember buying the album when I was in the Academy and was a member of both Columbia House and BMG's music clubs, where you buy 12 CDs for 1 cent.
I don't remember much about the album, which means that I probably didn't enjoy it that much. That doesn't speak well for the album, because enjoyment options at CGA were extremely limited.
But the song is great in its pretentious way:
I'd like to believe I could reconcile the pastResurrect those bridges with an ancient glanceBut my old stone face can't seem to break her downShe remembers bridges, burns them to the ground.There is a balance between two worldsOne with an arrow and a cross

The Mid-American Conference is losing the University of Massachusetts as a football-playing member.
The MAC announced Wednesday that UMass is leaving after the 2015 season. The school joined the conference, which consists of FBS universities in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, in 2011.
There was no immediate word whether the UMass football program will enter another conference. The Minutemen began FBS play in 2012 and have a 2-22 record (2-14 in MAC games) in two seasons.
UMass' departure will leave the MAC with 12 schools. When UMass entered the conference, there were 14 football programs before Temple left in March 2012.
The MAC has no plans to expand, commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said.
All of UMass' other sports programs compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The MAC offered full membership to UMass in February but was turned down.
"This is not the outcome we anticipated when UMass was admitted as a football-only member," MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said. "However, circumstances changed regarding our football membership and this is a result of those circumstances. I want to thank University of Massachusetts chancellor, Dr. Kumble Subbaswamy, and director of athletics, John McCutcheon, for their professionalism and understanding in reaching this amicable decision."
The MAC is broken into two divisions. The East consists of Akron, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Kent State, Miami (Ohio) and Ohio. The West includes Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo and Western Michigan.

LONG BEACH - The Long Beach Unified School District has been named one of more than 500 school districts across the country recognized for increasing student access to Advanced Placement classes.
A total of 539 school districts were named on the College Board's third annual AP® District Honor Roll for their efforts to open AP college preparatory class to a broader pool of students while simultaneously maintaining or improving student performance.
"Parents especially appreciate AP courses because their children can earn college credit while still in high school, saving thousands of dollars in tuition," noted Long Beach Unified spokesman Chris Eftychiou. "Many of our students earn an entire year of college credit before leaving high school."
For this year's Honor Roll, the College Board analyzed data from 2010, 2011 and 2012. School districts were required to show improved performance levels and increased access, as well as increasing participation from minority students.
Eftychiou said the LBUSD has made efforts in recent years to boost participation in AP courses. Last year, 5,062 students took one or more AP course, nearly doubling the number in 2003, he said. Pass rates have increased to 55 percent on AP exams, up 5 percent from last year.
Based in Washington, D.C., the College Board is a nonprofit organization that works to improve access to higher education.

What I Did This Summer: Coach basketball at Little Gamecocks Camp
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students this summer as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them are blogging about their adventures. This is the third story in the series.
Some people might call 58 little kids learning how to play basketball in an indoor practice facility "cleverly controlled chaos."
Gamecock basketball player Lakeem Jackson calls it "fun."
Lakeem Jackson
That's a good attitude for him to have, especially since he is one of the coaches at Little Gamecocks Camp, a three-day summer event for children aged four to seven.
"When the kids get here in the morning, we warm up with stretching and some dance moves," Jackson said, shaking out his hands to demonstrate.
"Then we break into small groups and they play at different stations: passing, ball-handling, shooting," he said. "Then they play some five-on-five. That's when they are really wild, crazy, and energetic, but it's fun."
Jackson was about the same age as these campers when he first began to play basketball.
"I was around five," said the sophomore from Charlotte, NC, who is the youngest of four boys. "I always went to watch my brothers practice and play, and it wasn't too long before I was playing, too." All four of the Jackson brothers have gone on to play college basketball.
Jackson is a great role model for the youngsters he's coaching.
Darrin Horn
As a South Carolina freshman under Coach Darrin Horn, the small forward started 30 games and averaged 7.2 points and 5.0 rebounds an outing while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.
At Christ School, a college-preparatory high school in North Carolina, Jackson led his team to a 34-2 overall record and the North Carolina Independent School Association State (NCISAA) Championship in 2007-08. He received All-State NCISAA 3A accolades, and he was named Carolina Athletic Association All-Conference and All-Western North Carolina. He was ranked in the Top 100 prospects by Scout.com.
On the court at the University's practice facility, it's easy to spot the 6'5" Jackson and the other coaches -- all of whom are Gamecock staff and players -- in a sea of squealing children.
And if the campers are energetic and excited now, just wait until the last day of camp when Cocky stops by for a visit.

Monday Morning Quarterback Week 11
The Good
The Bad
Buffalo BillsMiami Dolphins
Ryan Fitzpatrick did not do anything spectacular for the Bills, but he kept drives alive with accurate passing and he did not throw any interceptions. That's all that was required for the Bills to get a rare win.
The Dolphins are struggling after a surge early in the year and Ryan Tannehill is learning how difficult life is in the NFL. He completed 14-of-28 passes for 141 yards and he threw 2 interceptions.
Atlanta FalconsArizona Cardinals
Very little to say about the quarterback play in this game. The only positive note is that Matt Ryan led the Falcons to a comeback victory after trailing by 13 points and he threw for 301 yards.
Ryan had one of the worst games of his career. He threw 5 interceptions and kept the Cardinals in the game. Cardinal head coach Ken Whisenhunt was sick of the statue-like John Skelton, so he inserted Ryan Lindley at quarterback. He threw for an ineffective 64 yards.
Tampa Bay BuccaneersCarolina Panthers
Josh Freeman continues to come through in the clutch. He threw the game-tying touchdown pass and two-point conversion in the final second and then hit Dallas Clark with the game-winning TD pass in overtime. Freeman threw for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Cam Newton had a decent statistical game and did not throw an interception, but he was unable to take command and lead the Panthers on consistent scoring drives. That's what would have been needed to put the Bucs away.
Dallas CowboysCleveland Browns
The ground game was invisible for the Cowboys so Tony Romo had to put the ball up 50 times. He completed 35 of his throws for 313 yards and did not throw an interception. Rookie Brandon Weeden threw 2 TD passes and also avoided getting picked off.
While neither quarterback threw any interceptions, both Romo and Weeden lost fumbles and they have to do a better job of taking care of the ball. Romo and the Cowboys offense started the game as if they were sleepwalking.
Green Bay PackersDetroit Lions
Aaron Rodgers threw the perfect, game-winning touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the final two minutes to give the Packers the win even though they did not play their best game. Rodgers threw for 236 yards and also threw one other touchdown pass.
Matthew Stafford struggled to put together a consistent effort. He completed only 17-of-39 passes and he threw 2 key interceptions. Stafford has not been as effective as he was a year ago.
Houston TexansJacksonville Jaguars
A spectacular game for quarterback Matt Schaub. The Texans got all they wanted from the lowly Jaguars and Schaub was forced to put the ball up 55 times. He threw for 527 yards and 5 touchdowns. Chad Henne was forced to come into the game after Blaine Gabbert injured his elbow and he threw for 354 yards and 4 TDs in relief. Henne did not throw an interception.
Schaub threw 2 interceptions that gave the Jaguars hope they could compete with the AFC's best team. Henne could not move the Jaguars on their last possession in overtime and that led to Jacksonville head coach Mike Mularkey's ill-fated decision to go for it on 4th-and-10 instead of punt.
Cincinnati BengalsKansas City Chiefs
Andy Dalton played his second strong game in a row, completing 18-of-29 passes for 230 yards. He also threw 2 TD passes and he did not throw an interception. Dalton also ran for a second-quarter touchdown that gave the Bengals control of the game.
Matt Cassel played another poor game for the Chiefs and he was replaced by veteran Brady Quinn. Neither quarterback reached the 100-yard mark and the Chiefs could not get into the end zone.
New York JetsSt. Louis Rams
It's been a disastrous season for Mark Sanchez, but he put the bad times behind him and had a solid game against the Rams. Sanchez completed 15-of-20 passes for 178 yards with a touchdown and he did not throw an interception. Sam Bradford threw 2 touchdown passes for the Rams.
Bradford did not have a consistent day for the Rams. He completed 23-of-44 passes for just 170 yards.
Washington RedskinsPhiladelphia Eagles
In a season full of sensational games, Robert Griffin III set a new standard. He completed 14-of-15 passes for 200 yards. RGIII had 4 TD passes and he also ran for 84 yards with a long of 28 yards. Prior to the start of the game, the Redskins voted RGIII captain of the team and he clearly responded to that decision.
The Eagles may be the biggest mess in football. Mick Foles started for the injured Michael Vick. Foles completed 21-of-46 passes and threw 2 interceptions.
New Orleans SaintsOakland Raiders
Drew Brees has got the Saints back into a spot where they can save their season. The Saints climbed back to the .500 mark with the win and Brees completed 20-of-27 passes for 219 yards and he also threw 3 TD passes. Carson Palmer did his part to keep the Raiders in the game, throwing for 312 yards.
Palmer threw a first-quarter interception that was returned 55 yards for a touchdown by Malcolm Jenkins. After that pick, the Raiders were forced to abandon their running game and throw the ball for four quarters.
New England PatriotsIndianapolis Colts
The Patriots played their best all-around game of the season. Tom Brady did his part, throwing for 331 yards and 3 TDs without throwing an interception. Andrew Luck knew he would have to come out throwing to trade points with Brady and he had 334 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Luck couldn't keep up with Brady, in large part because the Patriots pass defense played its best game of the year. Luck threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
Denver BroncosSan Diego Chargers
Peyton Manning continues to ride out a hot streak. He was calm, cool and efficient in throwing for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns. Manning threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown in the first quarter and he shook that mistake off as if it were nothing and calmly took apart the Chargers.
Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes, but he also threw two interceptions. Unlike Manning, he could not shake off those mistakes. Once he turned the ball over, he lost his cool and he did not play consistently.
Baltimore RavensPittsburgh Steelers
Byron Leftwich got the call since Ben Roethlisberger is out with rib and shoulder injuries and he started the game by leading the Steelers on a touchdown drive that he culminated with a 31-yard TD run. Joe Flacco did not do much for the Ravens, but he avoided throwing any interceptions.
After the opening drive, Leftwich was battered by the Baltimore defense and he was laboring throughout the game. He appeared to be in pain and he could not throw the ball with any authority.

Stating on a visit to Istanbul that Islamic civilization and modernity are totally compatible with one another, Schröder stressed that co-existence with Islam is important for the whole world, not just for Europe. Schröder went on to say that Turkey could be a model for other Muslim countries near Europe and that this would be a huge benefit for Europe.
Turkey occupies the minds of European statesmen because of the administrative ability it has inherited. Schröder is also aware that the Turkish Republic is the only country that can bring peace to the Middle East, the Caucasus and Europe and also preserve the peace established.

SCETV Chernobyl special April 26 to feature USC experts
Four University of South Carolina experts will share their expertise and insights in a pair of SCETV specials on the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, set for broadcast from 7 - 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 26.
The first show, "NatureScene: Chernobyl" will air at 7 – 7:30 p.m.
The second, "Nature Comes Back – 25 Years After Chernobyl," will air from 7:30 – 9 p.m. and will include three episodes: "Pulling Back the Curtain," "Reflecting on the Impact" and "Observing the Return of Life."
The shows also will air on the SC Channel (SCC) from 3 – 5 p.m. April 24 and 9 – 11 p.m. April 26.
The special commemorates the 25th anniversary of the largest nuclear disaster in history, which occurred April 26, 1986, in the Soviet Union. It examines a variety of topics, including nuclear science, US-Soviet relations, the people of Chernobyl and the effects of the disaster on nature.
USC participants include the following:
Charles Bierbauer, dean of the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies, who was CNN's senior White House correspondent in 1986 at the time of the Chernobyl incident and reported on President Ronald Reagan's trip to Indonesia and Japan as Chernobyl's radiation cloud drifted across two continents.
Dr. Tim Mousseau, USC vice president for research and professor of biological sciences. Mousseau has made numerous trips to Chernobyl to study the impact of radioactive contaminants on the area and is a leading authority on the impact of radioactivity on birds and insects in the area surrounding Chernobyl.
Dr. Gordon B. Smith, USC professor of political science and director of the Walker Institute of International and Area Studies. Smith is a noted authority on Russian politics and author of numerous books, including "Soviet Politics: Struggling with Change" and "State-Building in Russia."
Rudy Mancke, naturalist-in-residence and the naturalist on ETV's "NatureScene" that aired nationally on PBS for 25 years. Mancke has made four trips to Chernobyl to document the natural history.
They will be joined by Dr. Eduardo B. Farfan, who worked with the Chernobyl Center's International Radioecology Laboratory and who is the principal engineer in environmental studies and biotechnology at Savannah River National Laboratory; Sherry Beasley, who made four trips to Chernobyl to chronicle and report on the activities in the area and wrote feature articles for The State newspaper and other media; Allen Sharpe, director of photography for ETV's "NatureScene," whose photographs produced of Chernobyl and Kiev appear in the program.
The show includes footage and photos from when "NatureScene" visited the site of the reactor in 2003.
"I think we had an incredible opportunity that most people couldn't have because we were able to take our camera to see what other people hadn't seen before," Mancke said. "I believe our program on Chernobyl is the only program on the natural history – looking at the plants and animals – of the event that has been done."
Chernobyl was evacuated and fenced to keep people out. But since April 26, 1986, nature has shown its resiliency, with plants and animals returning to the deserted site. And, re-settlers have returned too.

The protagonists in two documentaries vying for an Academy Award, The Gatekeepers and 5 Broken Cameras, come to much the same conclusion: that military force alone will neither solve the conflict nor assure the Jewish state's survival.
LOS ANGELES — At first glance, it's hard to imagine two more divergent perspectives on Israeli-Palestinian relations: that of a Palestinian farmer whose village is resisting the encroachment of a nearby Jewish settlement; and that of the security service chiefs responsible for maintaining order in the Palestinian territories.
Surprisingly, the protagonists in two documentaries vying for an Academy Award, The Gatekeepers and 5 Broken Cameras, in the best documentary feature category come to much the same conclusion: that military force alone will neither solve the conflict nor assure the Jewish state's survival.
The Gatekeepers presents the perspectives of six men who headed Israel's Shin Bet security agency over the past three decades — men who oversaw such operations as the targeted assassinations of Hamas and other terrorist leaders.
In 5 Broken Cameras, a Palestinian farmer chronicles his village's resistance to the construction of an Israeli settlement and to the soldiers who try to squelch their protests.
The tone of 5 Broken Cameras is more emotional, while that of The Gatekeepers is more intellectual, but both show that Israelis will accept a level of criticism too daunting for most Americans to stomach or for mainstream Hollywood to depict. And if that weren't enough, the Israeli government actually helped pay for the production of both films.
"We Jews are masters of self-criticism," Dror Moreh, the director of The Gatekeepers, said in an interview at a Los Angeles hotel. "It's in our genes."
The six Shin Bet heads featured in The Gatekeepers vary as much as the prime ministers who appointed them, but they share a clear-eyed worldview and a disdain for most of Israel's politicians, past and present.
Avraham Shalom, who headed the Shin Bet from 1980 to 1986, is the oldest of the six. He helped track down and kidnap the Nazi Adolf Eichmann, and pursued both the Arab perpetrators of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre and extremist Jewish West Bank settlers.
Dressed in plaid shirt and red suspenders, the avuncular Shalom sets much of the tone for his successors, who generally agree that despite the rebuffs and failures, Israel must try to negotiate with the Palestinians and take some tentative steps on the path to peace.
"Negotiate with anyone?" Moreh asks somewhat incredulously in the film.
"Yes, anyone," Shalom answers — even Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Yaakov Peri, who assumed the post in 1988, was the key figure in battling the second intifada, setting up a vast network of Palestinian informers and collaborators, and allegedly authorizing "exceptional practices" during Shin Bet interrogations. Onscreen, Peri reflects that, years later, "the memories etched deep inside you … when you retire, you become a bit of a leftist."
Moreh said the most surprising moment for him came when interviewing Yuval Diskin, who served as Shin Bet head from 2005 to 2011. He asked for Diskin's reaction to a quote by Yeshayahu Leibowitz, a left-wing academic who asserted that Israel's control over the West Bank would lead to the Jewish state's inexorable moral corruption.
To Moreh's astonishment, Diskin nodded in agreement, saying, "Every word is [written] in stone."
Emad Burnat, the cameraman, narrator and co-director of 5 Broken Cameras, is a world removed from the well educated, commanding Shin Bet chiefs of The Gatekeepers.
A Palestinian farmer, his family has cultivated the land of Bil'in, a village of 1,900 just east of where Israel separates from the West Bank. When his fourth son, Gibreel, was born in 2005, he purchased a video camera to record the boy's infancy and childhood, as well as the surrounding village life.
At about the same time, the religious settlement of Modi'in Illit was established nearby, protected by a fence that barred the village farmers from much of their land and olive groves. The villagers responded with weekly demonstrations. Israeli soldiers were called in to prevent the villagers from marching on the settlement, further escalating the confrontation.
A self-taught photographer, Burnat and his camera captured the events, to the annoyance of the soldiers. Although some blood was spilled later on, the initial casualties are the cameras, which were smashed, replaced and smashed again.
Five cameras went down, but the sixth is still doing duty today, Burnat says by phone from Bil'in.
Among the Israeli sympathizers who joined the Bi'lin protesters was Guy Davidi, a Tel Aviv filmmaker who befriended Burnat and his family.
Two years ago, Burnat showed Davidi his huge cache of video footage with the idea of fashioning it into a documentary. Davidi signed on as co-director and producer, raising $334,000, including $50,000 from the government-funded Israel Film Council.
Though it sounds like an unalloyed success story, the film's road to Oscar contention became a little bumpy after initial media reports in Israel and the United States trumpeted the unprecedented nominations of "two Israeli films." The claim justifiably angered Burnat, and opened him to criticism from his Palestinian compatriots and led to a boycott of the film in Arab countries.
"This is a Palestinian film," said Burnat. "It's about my village and mine is the major contribution."
Under Academy Awards rules, documentaries are not entered by countries (as is the case for foreign-language feature movies) but by individual filmmakers and their distributors. So 5 Broken Cameras is officially labeled as a Palestinian/Israeli/French co-production.
The film illustrates one other point, too. As in most films by Palestinians, Israeli characters may be depicted as unwelcome interlopers, but they are not made into monsters or Nazis.
"Many of the West Bank Palestinians have worked in Israel as construction workers, gardeners and so forth," Davidi said. "They speak our language and know more about us than we know about them. Even if they hate us, they understand something about the complexity of our society." l

Gordon Grant Biography
|Gordon Hope Grant, marine painter, illustrator, author and printmaker, was born June 7, 1875 in San Francisco California. Grant was sent to school in Scotland as a youth "to maintain ancestral ties." The voyage of four-and-a-half months from San Francisco around the southern tip of South America, "the Horn," in a full-rigged Glasgow sailing vessel left a tremendous impression on the young Grant and started a lasting fascination with the sea and sailing ships. After studying in London's Heatherley and Lambeth schools, Grant returned to San Francisco to work as a artist/reporter for both the SF Chronicle and the Examiner. The artist covered both the Boer War and the Mexican Revolution, his images of these events were published in Harper's Weekly. Grant was most famous for his maritime drawings and paintings. Grant received many awards from the American Watercolor Society, and also at the Paris Exposition of 1937. His drawings and paintings have been purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Library of Congress, and the New York Public Library. Grant died in 1962.

"Never in a business like this do you see a celebrity pay for another celebrity," Bloch told Us Weekly.
Two women on the terrace near Bloch and Virgitti testified that they never heard Galliano utter the word "Jewish" at all.
You can credit Paster and Bloch with starting the Great Stylist Wars of the 1990s.
I think what I was trying to say is that there aren't any anti-Semitic portraits in Céline as deadly as Bloch in Proust.
And so, utterly despondent, I renounced literature for ever, despite the encouragements that had been given me by Bloch.
But with the "Trois Poèmes juives," the original Bloch is at hand.
For, as it happened, Bloch was not invited to the house again.
The moment in which Bloch is to find it possible for him to realize the work has not yet arrived.
It is manifest that the Germans hoped to secure an effective victory in this war before they ran up against Bloch.
The prophet who emerges with the most honour from this war is Bloch.
Bloch (blŏk, blôKH), Konrad Emil. 1912-2000.
German-born American biochemist. He shared a 1964 Nobel Prize for research on cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.

Ted Nugent rants against Harvey Weinstein over proposed film
Ted Nugent isn't staying quiet after film executive Harvey Weinstein announced plans for a movie about gun control.
At the National Rifle Association's show "Cam & Company" Thursday, he compared Weinstein to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels and radical activist Saul Alinsky.
The Motor City Madman also referred to Weinstein as a "subhuman punk" and said that a person would have to be "brain-dead to believe that the gun-free zones of Chicago" and Nuremberg in the late 1930s "are a desirable condition." Nugent also predicted that Weinstein's plans "will backfire on him."
On Wednesday, Weinstein told "The Howard Stern Show" he was making a movie with Meryl Streep that addresses the gun control issue "head on." He added that gun advocates will "wish they weren't alive" once he's "done with them."

Wireless and VM is a abit of an issue, you can't use the internal wireless NIC of your machine with VMs. Backtrack will view you wireless nic as a eth0 (it bridges the guess machine to the host machine using the VM nic drivers) BUT!! all is not lost, if you purchase a USB wireless, then you can get it working that way, and works like a treat!! Coz I am a nice clown, I recommend on the Edimax 802.11b/g Turbo mode hight-gain USB adapter (ew-7318USg.. its awesome, and works well with aircrack to crack wep.
hope this helps.

In many campaign settings Oberon is the fey deity of nature, wild places, and animals. Oberon is the consort of Titania and a member of her Seelie Court. These deities are taken from English folklore, where Oberon (Auberon) and his wife Titania rule over the fairies (e.g., Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream). The medieval concept of the character Oberon arose from a multitude of earlier sources like dwarf sorcerer Alberich from Nibelungenlied.

The Good Egg is an Egg that the player can obtain in Generation IV games. Its Pokédex number is 494, directly succeeding Arceus. Sending a Good Egg into battle will freeze the game, as it has no moves whatsoever, and it cannot be taught any moves with the exception of Curse, which it can be taught with the use of an Action Replay, bypassing the no-move barrier. Despite the name, The Good Egg is actually not good at all.
It can be obtained with the assistance of an Action Replay using the "MINING MUSEUM" code. The Good Egg is essentially an egg in every manner, except for the fact that it can breed, gain levels, and be taught a move. However, all of its statistics will remain at 0.
- The player cannot dispose of the Good Egg once it is obtained. Releasing it freezes the game, and the player cannot trade it.
- The only way to give someone a Good or Bad EGG to somebody is to hack-breed it, then trade the Egg.
- When you defeat the Sinnoh Elite Four, the Good Egg will be entered as a Pokémon, though it will be listed at Level 0.
- The Good Egg is actually not all that good, as it causes glitches such as a game freeze, such as when you battle with it, and you can hack breed to trade.

From HaskellWiki
The diagrams library provides an embedded domain-specific language (EDSL) for creating simple pictures and diagrams in Haskell
1 Rewrite
Many Haskell graphic libraries are tied to a specific rendering backend (Cairo, OpenGL, libGD etc) which makes collaboration and reuse of code and data structures very hard or impossible.
Also some dependencies are hard to fulfill. Cairo is very difficult to install on Mac OS 10.6. If you just need to generate PDF diagrams, you could choose the pure HPDF library where e.g. Hieroglyph can not be installed because of its Cairo dependence.
A rewrite of diagrams should include separate packages for:
1.1 Core DSL
- graphical primitives
- path (moveTo, lineTo, curveTo, arcTo, etc)
- boolean operations of paths
- text, ellipses, rectangles, polygons
- imho there should be primitive shape typeclass, so that shapes like circles and rectangles have a "convertToPath" function. Backends like SVG can then choose to convert shapes like a rectangle to a polygon or to a SVG rectangle
- path (moveTo, lineTo, curveTo, arcTo, etc)
- graphical attributes
- fill, stroke, arrows, shadow
- solid color, patterns, gradients
- fill, stroke, arrows, shadow
- constraint solving
- animations/pages/frames
1.2 Modules/Extensions
- shapes and symbols (stars, supershape, symbols)
- diagrams
- histograms, density plots
1.3 Input/Output
1.3.1 Output
- interactive drawing via Cairo
- PDF export via pure HPDF
- EPS export
- SWF export
- LaTeX export
- exotic backends
- generate Java2d or Processing source code
1.3.2 Input
- pure Haskell PNG import via pngload
- pure Haskell SVG import

Tornadoes kill 11 more across South
(NEWSER) – After spawning deadly tornadoes that flattened homes and businesses in Alabama and Mississippi, a storm system that also caused havoc in the Midwest had Georgia in its sights early today. At least 11 people in the South were killed yesterday, bringing the overall death toll from two days of severe weather to at least 28. Six people died in Winston County, Miss., including a woman who perished in the day care center she owned in Louisville, the county coroner says.

Post subject: August 2005 COTM -- VOTE HERE
I know this is a couple of days early, however I will be away from the computer for a while, so I wanted to get the nominations posted now. If you were planning on nominating a cache for the August COTM then please submit it anyway - we can use it for the September COTM.
Here are the nominations in the order they were received (thanks to those that nominated this month!):
Pull My Finger!
nominated by
I give a hearty two thumbs-up to Paklids Pull My Finger!. Unlike some of the caches Ive seen nominated for COTM, this one is neither difficult to find nor approach. The reason I am nominating this one is just for the FUN factor alone. I nearly fell over when I found it. I just couldnt believe the cleverness which went into this caches design. I actually had to study it for a short while to figure out how Paklid did it.
Paklids caches have been some of my favorite, because the ones I have found have elicited hearty laughter. If you want a fun, easy find that is guaranteed to make you smile, bring along the family and friends to this one.
Mr. Smiley Returns with Gadgets
Nominated by
Early Starts
I would like to nominate Mr. Smiley Returns with Gadgets by IBCrashen for cache of the month.
Even though I have yet to find the final cache, it is already one of the best caches I have seen. This night only cache is creative and very unique.
My last DNF log:
Caching on the 4th of July with Proton, Proton 3D, Vanima&Nash. We watched the fireworks from up near Enger Tower and when they were over, we headed over for this one. The extremely pregnant geo-wife and Uncle Adam came along too but Andy stayed in the van and went to sleep with grandma.
We all headed out with flashlights and head lamps along with our GPS units and plenty of extra batteries. We picked up where we left off the other night and saw that the raging torrent of water was now just a trickle. It still took us about an hour of wandering around in the dark woods in the middle of the night to find the next clue. That got us going and we quickly found Smiley and some of his gadgets.
There is much more to this cache than a normal cache. The first gadget area we went to was the audio portion of the evening. We needed the entire group around to be able to figure it out. Very cool idea! We were huddled around that gadget for some time. Make sure to bring some note paper and a pen with you on this hunt. I am glad we never found it during the last trip because of all of the rain. This cache should not be done in the rain.
Next we found another smiley gadget after wandering around in the woods for a while (every once and a while someone yelling ouch when the tripped on a log). This gadget was also way cool. It took a bit for us to figure out how to use it since it didnt work the way the instructions said. Oh yeah, it took us a little bit to decode the instructions but I figured that one out. Anyway, we even changed batteries in the gadget (luckily Proton had some AAAs in his headlamp) trying to get it to work. Finally we figured out what we were doing wrong. The batteries were fine but a setting was not where it should have been. We all had fun playing with this nighttime gadget. We reset it correctly for the next finder. Nice hide on this gadget by the way. Great container too!
The next smiley gadget we found had us going in circles! We finally figured it out after we found a surprise in the area. Nice job! Another cool gadget. Very neat idea for a cache! We couldnt find a way to shut this gadget off at the end and hope that it shuts off on its own.
The last smiley we found tonight had a gadget that had lost battery power. As IB mentioned, the information it provides is not needed to finish the cache. Unfortunately, we none of us had the type of batteries it needed and we were not able to play with it. It looked like yet another very cool gadget so we were bummed we couldnt try it out.
If we figured out the next waypoints correctly, (and that is a big IF) they did not put us in walking distance. We headed back out of the woods and found grandma not very happy with us at all for ditching her in the van for hours while we wandered around in the woods. When she found out that we were not done yet, she thought we were definitely certifiably crazy.
We tried to find entry to the next area but could not. Either we have the wrong coordinates or we couldnt find the entry point in the dark. The area we were in was definitely a possibility. We will have to try this out again another time.
Go and try this cache out while it is still here! It wont be around this winter to try out. It is one of the best caches I have seen and it needs to have all 5 stars for difficulty. Great cache!
Coleman Lake Cache
Nominated by
Marsha and Silent Bob
Looking for a cache to do with Marsha and the dog I decided to go after one that had received some glowing reviews from quite a few finders and was in an area I really hadnt had a lot of opportunity to explore before.
We loaded the coordinates, got the camera, grabbed the hiptop, and loaded the dog into the backseat. Autorouting led me to a gated road (Irvine) so we parked on a street nearby and walked down the steep slope to the bottom. The lake was slightly flooded and starting to creep across the trail. The dog dragged me through it forcing Marsha to follow suit.
On the other side we found ourselves in deep woods that almost made you forget that I-35W was only a short distance away. We made our way through the twisty mountain biking trails and soon came across the outlet to Nine Mile Creek which included the raft talked about on the cache page. After watching some kids fishing nearby use the raft I went and found the cache.
I loved that the cache itself was quite old-school and was an ammo can in a beautiful area. I spent some time ensuring that the rising water wouldnt make it to the container and took some photos. I rejoined Marsha and the dog and we made our way across Nine Mile Creek on the raft and walked for another mile or so before turning around and heading home.
With so many newer caches returning to their roots and showing up as ammo boxes and other clever smalls and regulars, my faith is growing that we may just be able to eliminate needless micros!

Constance Doty Memorial Geocache
NPL Staff and Board
Nominated by
Dutch27 and I planned to do a few geocaches one hot summer afternoon before meeting friends at Lake Mazaska for an afternoon of kneeboarding. We meet at the Northfield Public Library to start doing Constance Doty Memorial Geocache GCNNFH by NPL Staff and Board aka Unixrat.
My Son, Daughter, and dog came with us. Unfortunately Kopy had to wait outside. The kids took turns watching the dog and helping us work in finding the cache. This is a great one to do with the family. Even the ones that dont really like geocaching, like my daughter, will enjoy this as she did. We thought it was going to be an in and out geocache, WRONG. We had to work for it. You need to find the 1st clue when you walk in, after that; you are presented with a bit of a puzzle, some research, and math to find where the final cache is located. It took us a bit over an hour to complete. All needed materials are there and there is the librarian to ask if you are completely lost. They will not tell you were it is, but will help you on the part that is giving you trouble. This cache was thought out very well and must have taken a long time to make the appropriate materials, do the research, and get approval from the library staff.
This is the best handicap accessible geocache I have ever seen. All activity is done in the building and there are elevators. This is a great cache to put on your list for extreme weather, it is climate controlled. Therefore, no bugs, ticks, sweating, or freezing your fingers and toes, and you stay dry. (There is a shelter in case of tornados too ) The A/C felt good on a 92 degree July afternoon.
When you come to Northfield, plan on using the tools you were taught in your grade school library!

The Irish Times runs a regular column entitled 'From the Archives' where stories from past issues of the paper are reprinted. A recent inclusion was a report from their correspondent in New York in 1864 which claimed that many Irish were being effectively abducted from the quayside by unscrupulous fellow countrymen, who sought to gain the $15 offered by the Washington Cabinet to every citizen who brought a volunteer into service. Although it is difficult to ascertain to what extent this practice went on, it makes for interesting reading none the less. The Irish Times in 1864 were clearly incensed, and lays the blame squarely on the shoulders of the policies adopted by the then British Government. The full article can be found here.

Recruitment Programs
|2017 Spring Recruitment Program
|2017 Fall Recruitment Program
What is Spring Recruitment?
Spring Recruitment is the process by which many employers advertise and fill summer internships and post-graduate legal positions. Spring Recruitment extends from January until the end of April. New Spring Recruitment opportunities are posted to CareerLink on a daily basis. As such, students are strongly encouraged to check CareerLink regularly.
What is Fall Recruitment?
The Fall Recruitment Program ("Fall Recruitment" or the "Program") is a process that begins each summer to obtain employment for subsequent summer and post-graduation. The Program is organized entirely by the Office of Career & Professional Development ("OCPD") and managed exclusively through CareerLink. Thus, it is imperative that you are actively online and checking e-mail throughout the summer to receive critical information about deadlines and participating employers.
The majority of employers participating in Fall Recruitment are larger law firms and government agencies given their ability to determine their hiring needs one to two years in advance. However, many other government, judicial, and public interest organizations also hire through this process. These employers are particularly focused on hiring 2L-Day and 3L-Evening students for next summer, although they may also consider 3L-Day and 4L-Evening students for post-graduate positions.
The Fall Recruitment Program is only one of many methods used to identify opportunities, but this hiring model only applies to a small percentage of employers. Although Fall Recruitment may be the most visible AUWCL-sponsored recruitment program, it should not be your only source for finding employment. The majority of students find jobs through a combination of other sources. As such, please refer to the different resources available on the OCPD website, CareerLink, and in the OCPD Resource Library for information on additional job search strategies. Also, be sure to request an appointment with an OCPD career counselor to develop your personal job search campaign.
Remember, not all employers participate in AUWCL's recruitment programs. Therefore, it is important to continue consulting other websites and resources. It is also the responsibility of each student to develop a personal job search campaign that includes networking.

As a decking material, acomposite excels. Made from virgin or recycled plastic and wood waste, composite is durable, weather-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. But while those attributes may satisfy your clients' practical side, the product's ersatz appearance may leave some of them feeling a little unsatisfied. For those consumers, only a wood deck will do.
Architects value the seductive powers of wood more than anyone; that's one of the reasons you spec it. Its random grain patterns are inherently beautiful, and wood can last a long time if properly cared for. "We prefer [Forest Stewardship Council]-certified natural wood for aesthetic and sensory reasons," says William T. Ruhl, AIA, of Ruhl Walker Architects in Boston. "Natural wood looks better and feels better on bare feet."
natural selections Pine and Douglas fir are the most common and inexpensive species used for decks. Doug fir is strong, attractive, and tough. It holds up fairly well to extreme wear and remains level without cracking. Typically pressure-treated to resist weather, rot, and insects, Southern pine's unique cellular structure permits deep penetration of preservatives, providing long-lasting protection, says the Kenner, La.–based Southern Pine Council, a promotional body that represents Southern lumber producers.
Despite their resiliency, however, these two species lose their luster after prolonged exposure to the elements, and they need replacing after 10 to 12 years, depending on the climate. Some architects avoid them for other reasons. "Pressure-treated pine is cheap up front, but the splinters are awful," says Ruhl.
Fortunately there are plenty of other deck-worthy trees in the forest, among them teak, Western red cedar, redwood, and mahogany. The lumber from these trees has exquisite grain patterns and its natural weather- and insect-fighting properties will keep your outdoor decks attractive for a long time.
Although prized as one of the world's premier woods for fine cabinetry, mahogany is strong and dense enough for outdoor use and has natural rot-resistant properties. Teak and Western red cedar are rich in natural oils that make them extremely resistant to moisture as well as the drying effects of weather. And the oils in Western red cedar also act as a preservative to help the wood resist insect attack.
Moisture in the Pacific Northwest is one reason Seattle-based architect Nils Finne is a fan of Western red cedar. "We have also used redwood in California," he says. "It is beautiful, but the wood is somewhat soft so it needs fairly regular maintenance."
The same applies to Atlantic white cedar, says architect Timothy Techler, principal of Techler Design Group in Watertown, Mass. "The wood is very soft and it goes a silvery gray color," he says. "You have to be careful with it, but it is lovely stuff."
The budget and the exterior finish of the house usually dictate what San Francisco–based Melander Architects uses. "If the project is on the moderate end we use Doug fir," says Aaron Goldman, an architect with the firm. "On the high end, we have used redwood."
Possibly the hottest tropical species at the moment is Ipé (a.k.a. Ironwood). "Ipé is amazing stuff," says Techler. "It is heavier than water, so it does not float, and it handles the wet-dry cycle better than other woods." As its Ironwood moniker suggests, Ipé (pronounced e-pay) is extremely hard and dense, weighing 70 pounds per cubic foot. It does not accept preservatives well, but it doesn't need to. The lumber has the highest natural rating for rot and insect resistance with no treatment, the USDA Forest Service says. Austin, Texas–based architect Tom Hurt knows this first hand. The harsh Southwest sun can wreak havoc on a wood deck. No matter what you use, he says, the sun takes its toll. "Ipé is different," the principal of Tom Hurt Design Office says. "It is a lot more stable and looks better longer. If you don't treat it, it will gray out, but it will still look good."

Beyonce to headline Jay-Z's Made In America festival
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyoncé has been tapped to headline the first day of the next installment of Budweiser's Made In America Music Festival in Philadelphia. It probably doesn't hurt that the fest's main organizer is Beyoncé's husband, hip-hop superstar Jay-Z, who headlined the event himself last year.
Announced Wednesday, this year's artist lineup will also include Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Public Enemy, Wiz Khalifa, Queens of the Stone Age, Imagine Dragons, Deadmau5, Miguel, Beyoncé's sister Solange and more. The two-day fest will take place August 31st through September 1st. Tickets will go on sale to the general public starting April 17th.
Beyonce will kickoff her "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" next Monday, April 15th in Serbia. The tour arrives stateside on June 28th with a show in Los Angeles.

Item # SB-ARK
The Soft/Hard Black Arkansas Combination Stone is made of a stone called novaculite. This stone, quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma, is almost pure silica which makes a great surface for sharpening knives and tools.
The Soft/Hard Black Arkansas Combination Stone gives you a medium and a extra fine grit. This combination offers you a excellent grit progression. When paired with a coarser India stone, this combo stone will give you everything you need to achieve a super fine edge.
The handsome wooden box keeps the stone safe when not in use. The Soft/Hard Black Arkansas Combination Stone is available in 2 sizes to fit your needs. The 6" x 2" x 1" is a medium sized stone that is popular due to the good size and value. If you do a lot of sharpening, you'll appreciate the large 8" x 2" x 1" stone; its generous size allows for longer strokes to speed up the sharpening process.
Proudly quarried and made in the USA.
Q. I see that the Soft Arkansas side is rated as medium, isn't that rather coarse?
A. We carry many stones that are deemed "medium" but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are all the same. The Soft Arkansas side is considerably more fine then a medium India or Silicon Carbide stone. The Soft Arkansas is in fact finer than a fine India or Silicon Carbide stone.
Q. Is the Hard Black Arkansas on this stone the same grit as the Hard Translucent Stone?
A. Yes, both are graded to the same level of hardness and will give a similarly extra fine edge.

Prosecutors charged Emrys John, Tyrone Miller and Kevin Cox with two counts of murder in the deaths of Sgt. Jan Pietrzak, 24, and his 26-year-old wife Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak, who was raised in Ontario, went to Ayala High School and was a master's student at Cal State San Bernardino when she was killed.
The Riverside County District Attorney's Office is seeking the death penalty for all four defendants.
The victims were found brutally murdered inside their home, in the unincorporated community of Winchester, on Oct. 15, 2008. They were both bound with tape and had been shot in the head.
John, Miller and Cox worked with Pietrzak at Camp Pendleton. The three defendants also were charged with special circumstances for committing murder during the commission of a burglary, robbery and rape by instrument as well as the double murder.
John and Miller will share a jury for their trial, which heard lawyers deliver their opening remarks Monday morning in Riverside Superior Court. Cox has a separate jury, which heard from the Deputy District Attorney Daniel DeLimon that afternoon.
A fourth man, Kesaun Sykes, was severed from the group and is scheduled to go to trial in August.
Prosecutors believe all four defendants went to the victims' home to rob them. They forced their way inside, physically assaulted the man, sexually assaulted the woman and then murdered both.
In his opening statements, DeLimon said the couple had purchased their 5-bedroom home in 2008 and were married in August of that year.
"Sixty seven days after they were married they were executed in the house they bought," DeLimon said.
When Pietrzak didn't show up for work, Riverside County sheriff's deputies were asked to conduct a welfare check on his home. Deputies arrived to find the front door open and the couple was found in the living room, bound and motionless.
Items scattered around inside the house, and racial slurs written as graffiti on walls and mirrors. Flammable liquids had also been poured around the interior of the home. Shoe prints were found throughout the house and on Jan Pietrzak's bodies.
DeLimon said when the killers left the house, they turned on all the gas knobs to the oven. No fire ever erupted.
"Luckily the house did not burn down and did not explode," DeLimon said. "We would have lost all this evidence. "
Bank statements showed that Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak's ATM card had been used outside Camp Pendleton about a half hour after the couple was killed. Her account had been accessed, her pin number was used and there were several transactions at that time, including the withdrawal of $460, according to prosecutors.
The suspect who used the ATM card wore a bandana over his face and mechanic's gloves. He covered the camera while making the transaction.
During the investigation, detectives discovered jewelry was missing from the home, including the woman's engagement and wedding ring, her husband's wedding ring and other jewelry.
In the days after the slayings, witnesses came forward and investigators were led to the suspects.
When detectives searched Miller's home, they found a paper with the victim's address under the couch. They also found Quiana's ATM card, and some of the victim's jewelry on a night stand.
"In plain view, like items that weren't stolen, that didn't belong to other people," DeLimon said.
In Miller's closet, deputies found a gun and a bag with a blue bandana and mechanic's gloves.
During interviews with authorities, Miller eventually admitted that he went to Pietrzak's home with a disguise.
Miller told deputies that he stole things, he painted things on the walls, and he tried to set the house on fire, DeLimon said. Miller said he beat the couple and stole things but he didn't kill anyone.
Miller's attorney waived his opportunity to give a statement to jurors on Monday.
Officials said they found tennis shoes in Cox's car that matched prints that were at the crime scene.
During a 4-hour interview with officials, Cox admitted to being at the scene of the crime. But he said he only went along with the other three and that he played a minor role.
Cox's attorneys are expected to give their opening statements today.
While searching John's house, deputies found a blue bandana and shoes with a similar pattern as were found at the crime scene.
John's attorney, John Hemmer, told jurors on Monday that this is a terrible crime, and he didn't want to reduce the severity of what happened to the sergeant and his wife.
"Don't make any judgments until you hear all the witnesses," Hemmer asked the jury. "Judge the credibility of the witnesses, use common sense" to come up with a fair verdict.
Those things, Hemmer said, will be "paramount to determine what Emrys John has done. "
Testimony will begin in the John and Miller trial today. The guilt phase of the trial is expected to last about four weeks.

"This case is a symbol of the crisis," said Oppenheim, whose Weston, Florida law firm is representing the Kachkos. "It's a system that's run amok. All the rules of civil procedure are being flushed down the toilet."

|Race and public policy, immigration and official language laws
Donathan Brown's expertise includes race and public policy, state and federal American immigration reform, English-only laws and rhetorical studies.
Brown conducts research at the intersection of race, rhetoric and public policy, particularly pertaining to African Americans and Latinos. Specifically, such research has come to entail (1) the correlation between race and the official/national language movement and (2) Latinos and state orchestrated immigration reform and the political/legal fallout such policies produce.
He was granted a U.S. Fulbright Scholar Award for the spring of 2017, to teach on the topics of race and public policy in America at the University of Maribor in Slovenia.
He served as editor of the Journal of Race and Policy (2012–15) and edited a special issue of the Journal of Latino and Latin American Studies in August 2013 on the "discursive state of American immigration reform." He is the lead author of the 2014 book, "When Race and Policy Collide: Contemporary Immigration Debates." He is co-author of "Voting Rights Under Fire: The Continuing Struggle for People of Color," a book examining modern efforts to restrict the voting rights of black and Latino citizens by exploring the history behind the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and its evolution in the decades since. Brown's research has also appeared in law and policy journals ranging from the Harvard Journal of Hispanic Policy to the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law. Brown is currently working on three other books pertaining to race and public policy, see CV for more details.
Brown has presented research and delivered addresses around the world in conjunction with many universities and academic organizations. Brown has spoken at the National University of Ireland (Galway), University of Innsbruck (Austria), University of Ghent (Belgium), Jagiellonian University (Krakow), College of the Bahamas (Nassau), University of Maribor (Slovenia) and at other academic organizations in the United States, Latin America, Sri Lanka and Canada.
Brown has taught courses on Communication, Race and Public Policy; Intercultural Communication: Cultures in Conflict; Introduction to Culture and Communication; Rhetoric and Social Order; Political Communication: Campaigns and Elections; and Electing the President.
Research Focus
- The official language movement (also known as the national language movement)
- Immigration reform laws
- Race and public policy
- Race and the Supreme Court
- Presidential and political rhetoric
"I think we need to look very hard at the legal process of coming to the United States and see whether or not we're actually meeting the obligations that we put forth to those who legally want to come here. We expect them to learn the language, learn the culture, learn the background, but are we necessarily doing our job to make it as what we put it out to be."

Toyota Prius Becomes Top Selling Vehicle in California
Brandon Hill
January 23, 2013 11:20 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ford's F-Series only manges seventh place
The Prius is often the butt of automotive jokes for its oddball styling, pokey acceleration, and tree-hugging persona, but it appears that Toyota is having the last laugh -- at least in California. When the sales numbers were tallied up for 2012, the Prius reigned supreme as the best-selling vehicle in California with 60,688 units sold. In fact, over one-quarter of all
sold in the United States for 2012 were purchased in California.
Economical cars from Toyota and Honda made up the top five sold cars in California with the Civic, Camry, Accord, and Corolla taking second, third, fourth, and fifth place respectively. The
Ford F-Series
, which is the best-selling vehicle for the entire United States, only managed to place seventh on the sales list in California.
Toyota's Prius is rated at 51/48/50 (city/highway/combined), which makes it a perfect fit for California's congested highways.
"Environmental consciousness and changing trends are large contributors," said Peter Welch, Chief Executive of the California New Car Dealers Association. "Eight years ago everyone was driving sport utilities and trucks, now it's almost trendy to drive a fuel-efficient hybrid or plug-in."
Toyota's Prius may be sitting high on its throne right now, but there are plenty of challengers to its hybrid dominance. Volkswagen is looking to win over some consumers who aren't sold on its
TDI diesel engines
with the
Jetta Hybrid
, and Ford has two competent hybrids -- the Fusion Hybrid and the C-MAX -- in its stable that promise 47 mpg combined (although
real world results
suggest otherwise).
All three of the aforementioned models achieve lofty fuel economy numbers with conventional styling that is more appealing to the masses.
LA Times
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Photo: Getty Images
By Caroline Aghajanian
Taylor Swift has been keeping fans guessing about her next album for a while … and now we finally have the big reveal!
Remember when Taylor announced her last album Red in a livestream in 2012? Well, we could possibly have a similar announcement for her upcoming release this Monday, August 18, 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT live from Yahoo!
Earlier this month, Taylor teased fans with the first clue of an Instagram video pressing the number 18 inside an elevator.
Just days later, the "22" singer shared the second clue of a photo of her iPhone background with her adorable cat, Olivia Benson, with the time 5:00.
One day later, Taylor shared clue No. 3 of a Yahoo! search bar.
The clues all added up perfectly in the 24-year-old's twitter announcement Monday morning.
Fans are counting down the days on her website, and can watch it live here! Are you excited to hear Taylor's special announcement?

description: The world's first passenger-carrying hot air balloon flew over France in 1783. Join Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips as they explain how today's hot air balloons become light enough to leave the ground.

is_us_only: false

title: I Didn't Know That: Hot Air Balloons

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: Now we all know what a balloon is.  It's basically a flexible bag filled with air or some kind of gas. And we often associate them with kiddies' parties, but believe you me there's a lot more to the story of balloons than cakes and clowns. Rich what are you doing?  Come down.
NARRATOR: Today, balloons of all shapes and sizes are used for all sorts of things, from lighting up sporting events to advertising.
Doctors use them to open arteries of patients with heart disease.
Surgeons can use them to stretch skin, allowing women to have bigger silicone implants.
Film companies use them for lighting and providing birds eye views of football games.  And scientists use them to gather vital information from the Earth's atmosphere, and even occasionally send them into space.  Oh, and they're also quite fun to fly and are, in fact, man's oldest form of manned-air transport.
In 1783 one hundred and twenty years before the Wright brothers took to the skies, the world's first passenger carrying hot air balloon flew over France.
It managed to climb to around 500 meters and travelled more than 3 kilometres before landing in a forest.
So what did the passengers think? Well, it was hard to tell, because the passengers on this historic flight were a sheep, a chicken and a duck.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Of course it wasn't long before humans followed where those intrepid farmyard animals led and balloons were taking to the skies across the world.
NARRATOR: So how do hot air balloons become light enough to leave the ground? Well, as you've probably guessed, the clues in the name.
JOHNNY: As air is heated it begins to expand, becoming less dense and more buoyant than the colder air surrounding it and so it begins to rise.
RICHARD AMBROSE: And we've got a little demonstration involving a toaster for you.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Now, if you just take a cereal packet and place it over the toaster, and this is to keep the heat from the plastic bag from burning it, we don't advise doing this at home.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And then, turn the toaster on.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Power it up
JONNY PHILLIPS: And the hot air rising should lift the bag.
RICHARD AMBROSE: In a hot air balloon this rising air produces lift and given enough heat it will eventually lift the balloon off the ground or over the toaster in this case. Success.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Our first flight,  Jonny.
NARRATOR: But to lift anything significant, you do need to heat an awful lot of air.  Which is why a typical hot air balloon will have a volume approaching 7000 cubic meters.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Although ballooning has been around for a very long time, hot air balloons as we know them today, with their  wicker baskets, propane burners, and teardrop shapes are really a relatively recent invention, dating in fact from the 1960s.
NARRATOR: The first ones were funded by the US Navy, but the public loved them too and the sport of hot air ballooning was back in the public eye more than 170 years after it's invention.
RICHARD AMBROSE: The real breakthrough came with the addition of lightweight propane burners, I've got one here.  Watch this it's impressive.
NARRATOR: In a modern hot air balloon the liquid propane enters these coils where it's heated up and turns into a gas.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Wow
NARRATOR: The advantage of burning hot gas is that it produces a much bigger flame and dramatically increases the efficiency of the burners.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  Heating the air inside the balloon and letting it cool down is the main way that the pilot has of controlling altitude.  But it's not the only way, they can also open a flap at the top of the balloon, called a parachute valve, which allows air to escape quickly, which in an emergency could be a lifesaver.
However, in terms of direction the balloon is really at the mercy of the wind, but the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes, so by going up and down the pilot does have some control over where they end up.

Crowds Cheer After Bombing Suspect Arrested
(Boston, MA) -- People are celebrating the capture of a second Boston bombing suspect. It's pure relief for Watertown residents who spent much of the past two days hunkered down inside their homes while authorities combed the area. The search for suspect for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev [[ Joh-har Zar-nay-ahv ]] came to an end when he was found hiding inside a boat. Law enforcement swarmed into the neighborhood and escorted families to out of their homes. Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan are believed to be responsible planting the bombs that exploded into crowds at the Boston Marathon Monday. Tamerlan was killed during an overnight shootout.

When it comes to steady state running I'm fairly good, I can run quiet well these days, but the moment it comes to MMA sparring, pad work etc I gas a lot easier.
Am I right in assuming this is down to the anaerobic energy system? the more intense activities like rapid punching or heavier sparring still take it out of me quite easily.
Do you have any tips and advice to improve it quite quickly?
I've now stopped, or at least greatly minimised the ammount of steady state training I'm doing now and have swapped most of it for HIIT runs or sparring to try and improve my anaerobic performance.
Been back at MMA for 2 weeks after a year out with injury and the sessions have been killing me atm.
Any good HIIT programmes or circuits that are proven to work well with MMA fighters in greatly improving mma specific cardio?
Thanks in advance

To tell you guys the truth I don't think there would be a huge upgrade from Heard to Bashir. I'd rather draft a FS for the simple fact that Poole or Shazor would be available in the 2nd

At first I was against the move of Rumph to FS, but the more I think about it the more I think we should because Rumph does have trouble staying with the WR because he doesn't have good change of direction and he has the mentality of a FS. I think I heard the CB is pretty deep this year? And I am sure we can get a good one in the 2nd or 3rd round.

i like rumph at CB because he is great against the run and his coverage skills are gettng better. If we keep him at CB and don't sign a FA FS, i'd like to draft pool or shazor with our second round pick. If we move him to FS and don't sign a FA CB, i'd like to draft marlin jackson... i think he's legit

i think it'd be a better idea to shift rumph to the safety spot and draft a CB in the 2nd or 3rd. CB is extremely deep this season and there will undoubtedly be a CB that slips to the niners in the 3rd round. if the niners somehow come away with 2 1st round picks for the 1st overall, i'd pull the trigger on grabbing the best available CB with the 1st pick of the 2nd round.

If people are envisioning Rumph as an Ed Reed type, then he would have to take Tony Parrish's spot, because Reed is a SS. I don't know about Parrish at FS; his coverage skills MAY be a liability. But Parrish at SS is one of our best players. I think Rumph at FS takes away some of what makes him such a potentially great player, like run support and blizting from the slot. FS is definitely in need of some help, although I have to wonder about possibly giving Dwaine Carpenter a shot...he played pretty well at CB last season, considering he started as our backup safety. Made plenty of big plays.

I assume moving Rumph to safety would be in the hope of getting an Ed Reed type, which is to say ballhawk. Roy Williams is many things, but ballhawk is not one of them.
