David Richard Franchina kept the bad guys locked up and freed the reformed ones.
Franchina, 70, died Jan. 28 from liver disease after dedicating almost half a century to the inmates of Utah State Prison, whether as their social worker, their warden or their parole hearing officer.
"We got a big loss of institutional knowledge with Dave's passing. He knew everybody, and knew how things got to the way they are," said Paul Boyden of the Statewide Association of Prosecutors, who worked on the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole when Franchina was at the prison.
Franchina was a New Jersey native whose exposure to the justice system started early. His father, Raymond Franchina, was a police officer who became the police chief in North Bergen, N.J. The younger Franchina came to Utah to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology at Utah State University.
There he met his wife, Gloria Hoehnen. She died in 2009 after 47 years of marriage. Franchina received a master's degree in social work at the University of Utah. When he finished his formal education, Franchina in 1967 started his career as a social worker at Utah State Prison's maximum security unit.
The family exposure and his education made Franchina well-rounded, Boyden said. Franchina understood the punitive aspect of prison and still appreciated its rehabilitative power even after a convict, released from prison, notoriously turned murderer.
Franchina had a walk-on role as a prison guard in the 1982 movie "The Executioner's Song," which was partially filmed at the Draper facility. Tommy Lee Jones starred as Gary Gilmore, a real-life convict who moved to Utah and was executed in 1977 for killing two people.
Franchina was around when the real Gilmore was imprisoned and awaiting the firing squad. He made deputy warden a few years after Gilmore took four bullets to the chest and eventually took charge of the prison as its warden.
He was a fair man and worked well with the prison staff, and more than once "kept the ship upright" when issues arose, Boyden said.
He also inspired his staff to appreciate their jobs and want to do better, said Curtis McCarthy, a former coworker at the prison.
"You could run into Dave six months later and he would ask you specifics with regards to your previous conversations with him," McCarthy said. "His curiosity made you a better employee."
Franchina eventually became the deputy director of the Corrections Department, and his long years in the system gave him an institutional knowledge that everyone relied on, Boyden added.
"Several times he basically was the rudder on the ship," Boyden said. "He was a stabilizing influence. Whenever problems came up, he would say, 'Well the last time this came up. ...'"
After 30 years ensuring prisoners were locked up, Franchina spent nearly two decades as a hearing officer for the parole board. There he listened to offenders and their victims and was thorough in his written reports to the board, according to his colleagues there.
Though he'd graduated from higher education decades earlier, Franchina kept learning. He enjoyed setting up training sessions for the board, bringing in speakers when he thought it would improve the board's knowledge and expertise. Extremely inquisitive, he asked the speakers many thoughtful and detailed questions, said board spokesman Jim Hatch in a statement.
"His institutional knowledge will be sorely missed and he never stopped wanting to learn, even when it was apparent to many of us Dave knew more than we ever would," Hatch said.
He always stayed busy, and came to the office even after his health precluded him from working full-time and he'd retired from the board.
His funeral is scheduled for Monday. He is survived by his older brother, two sons, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

When humans get a spare tire around the middle, it's a fairly common occurrence—certainly much more common than when an elk gets a spare tire around its neck. But we'll say this: An elk with a spare tire around its neck is much funnier. True story. An elk in Morrison, Colorado, is running about town carrying a little extra weight around its neck as if it were a necklace. One resident called it "a little bit of bling." Denver's ABC affiliate KMGH has the unusual and humorous story:
Wildlife officials say the elk—nicknamed The Tired Elk by residents–can do everything it needs to do, such as eat, breathe and run. They don't want to tranquilize the animal to remove the tire because they fear the elk is pregnant. Tranquilizing the animal can be traumatic and could do harm to the calf.
This isn't the first time an elk has ended up wearing an unwanted accessory. An elk lived six years with the ring of a dog's feeding dish around its neck. There was an elk four years ago that somehow got a bar stool stuck on its head. A bar stool?
According to a CNN report, elementary students were tasked with coming up with an explanation. One student suggested the elk had too much to drink at a local bar, fell off its stool and somehow got the stool stuck on its head.
So, how did this elk manage to get a tire around its neck?
One woman suggested that some kids did it as a prank, but her husband dismissed the idea because they wouldn't dare get that close to the wild animal. But is there a better explanation? Hmmm.
A night of drinking, maybe?

This is the Roomba 650 vacuum that cleans dirt, dust, and debris from carpets, hardwood, tile, and linoleum floors on a schedule or at the touch of a button. Made by iRobot, developers of tactical reconnaissance robots for the U.S. military, Roomba 650 uses a three-stage cleaning system: a spinning side brush cleans along wall edges, dual, counter-rotating brushes act like a dustpan and broom by reaching deep into carpet fibers, and its powerful vacuum pulls dirt, hair, and debris off the brushes into its bin. The cleaning head automatically adjusts to accommodate carpets or hard floors and its air filter ensures only clean air is recycled. Roomba determines the optimal cleaning path during every session and navigates autonomously to clean floors. Integrated acoustic sensors detect areas of high dirt concentration when Roomba "hears" itself working harder, prompting the vacuum to spend more time cleaning these locations. It comes with a virtual barrier that Roomba will not pass, keeping the robotic vacuum where you need it by blocking off-limit areas. It can be scheduled to automatically clean up to seven times per week or prompted to spot clean. Virtual barrier requires two C batteries. Only available for delivery in the U.S. and Canada. 13 1/2" Diam. x 3 3/4" H. (8 lbs.)

The Superior Suction Dirt Detecting Roomba 650 comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

This vacuum has brought joy to my life!!
By Cass
from Traverse city mi
About Me Frequent User
I use roomba every day! Sometimes once downstairs and once upstairs in the same day. Floors are normally my least favorite thing to clean, so having constantly spotless floors makes me quite giddy! And i do mean clean. REALLY CLEAN! maybe its true that she doesnt clean as well as a professional housekeeper, but i wouldnt know as ive never had one! All i know is that she cleans better than I CLEAN!As long as I watch out for long strings and headphone cords and close the doors that lead out to the porch ( roomba gets stuck on the threshold only because the empty space beyond makes her confused. She can't handle a high threshold AND a step down. All other thresholds are fine. ) then she has no problems. You just have to observe her cleaning in your specific house and maybe make a few adjustments to her surroundings. If you worry that she won't work like you wish, DON'T! Let me just say, if I had to choose between a dishwasher and roomba I would choose roomba without a moments thought! And I hate washing dishes!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product-5 stars for Customer Svc!
By RachelMc.
from Chicago
Performs very well on both carpet and wood floors. The motor is louder (maybe stronger?) than my old model. The unit is larger and talks... tells you if it's stuck, going back to station to recharge, etc. Pretty cool. But because it's louder, I turn it on when I leave the house, and everything is magically done when I return. RARELY do I pull out the big vacuum cleaner... in fact, I can't specifically remember the last time... maybe when Mother-in-Law visited?Most impressive is H.S.'s customer service... I bought the 550 model a few years ago, and it just stopped working one day... purchased a new battery, took it in for service, but couldn't get it to work again. H.S. replaced it free of charge under their "lifetime warranty", with NO hassle and NO questions whatsoever. While you might save 10% at a big box store, it's not worth it... shop at H.S., where they value your patronage and will stand behind their products.

Complicated packaging
By Lazy
from Northern NJ
The only thing that I didn't like was that the Roomba came with about a dozen spare parts with no explanation that they were spare parts. I was overwhelmed when I opened the package and thought that I would need to built the appliance myself from all of those pieces. So I put off using it for about a week. A notice that the Roomba was actually plug n play in the top of the box would have been a help. The cleaning ability of the Roomba far exceeded my expectations. I have it programed to clean everyday while we are out of the house. All we have to do is empty the dirt compartment, which is much easier than on a traditional vacuum cleaner.It deals with cat hair very well, my shedding cat cannot keep up with it!

Better than ever
By gladys the homemaker
from middle of Texas
I have used roomba vacuums from the original model and have continued to buy them. They are durable and do a nice job of cleaning. My experience has been good for customer service and of course Hammacher Schlemmer offers the best guarantee in the world.

I love my Roomba!
By Pam the pet lady
from Kapaau, Hawaii
I usually turn on my Roomba when I leave my home. My floors are always clean now. I have three cats and a dog. This is my second Roomba. I love it.
By jj
from ga
I already own another Roomba and love it but it does not go over black lines on rugs so I have to vacuum manually therefore I ordered this one because I was told this one would do geometric rugs etc but when I tried it out, it stopped immediately at the black lines and did the same as the one I already have.Dont get me wrong, I love the Roomba but hate the fact there is no off switch to turn off the black indicators hence the Roomba sees it as a cliff etc. This is great if you don't have animal print or dark Persian rugs everywhere like it do. Therefore I am now debating on trying the neato but it 100 higher so that is frustrating...but I love Hammacher return policy and loyalty to customers. The Roomba is great for under beds and rooms without rugs....amazing what it picks up and I am sure this one is the same but not worth it with the rug problem. I checked with Roomba online site and they do not make a Roomba yet that will go over dark/black borders on rugs or black lines etc. If they did, I would be the first buyer because I that would be awesome!!!!So Roomba, please make a off switch on your guides on your Roomba.

As advertised
By ms
from Charleston, WV
Solid, daily cleaner. Nice job on pet hair. Occasionally will get caught on A/C grates that are within tall carpet (due to the significant height difference), but otherwise no issues. Sweep carpet once with a standard vacuum first, then use this daily - you'll rarely need to sweep with a standard vacuum after that.

lifetime guarantee is outstanding
By Beaner`
from Kansas
We purchased a Roomba 6+ years ago. When it quit working we were going to try a new battery...then I remembered the lifetime guarantee! HS was awesome about exchanging for a minimal charge. You get a refund for the purchase price or can apply it to a new product. For $5 we had a new Roomba! I won't hesitate to purchase merchandise from Hammacher Schlemmer as they stick by their word.
We love the iRoomba, but the cat doesn't
By Mike
from Paso Robles, CA
Love the iRoomba, but the 20 year old cat does not. She now poops in front of it. Nasty cat!!Need to pay attention as the bin needs to be emptied after every cleaning. Luckily it shuts itself off if the bin gets too full.

A new study examining nearly 40 years of satellite imagery has revealed that the floating ice shelves of a critical portion of West Antarctica are steadily losing their grip on adjacent bay walls, potentially amplifying an already accelerating loss of ice to the sea.
The most extensive record yet of the evolution of the floating ice shelves in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica shows that their margins, where they grip onto rocky bay walls or slower ice masses, are fracturing and retreating inland.
As that grip continues to loosen, these already-thinning ice shelves will be even less able to hold back grounded ice upstream, according to glaciologists at The University of Texas at Austin's Institute for Geophysics (UTIG).
Reporting in the Journal of Glaciology, the UTIG team found that the extent of ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea Embayment changed substantially between the beginning of the Landsat satellite record in 1972 and late 2011.
These changes were especially rapid during the past decade. The affected ice shelves include the floating extensions of the rapidly thinning Thwaites and Pine Island Glaciers.
Photo: Pairs of Landsat satellite images showing changes in ice shelf margins in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica between 1972 and 2011.
The striping visible in the 2011 images is due to an unrepaired malfunction in the Landsat-7 platform that occurred in 2003.

Do not cross-post - 1 post in the relevant area is enough!
ok sorry to post this again but in the newbie area and in the backtrack3 final area my post is doing nothing but getting buried and no one has made a peep. i apologize now if i shouldn't be re-posting this but it's been a few days since i first put it up. anyway here goes:
In xlpoitz's tutorial on using airolib to make cracking wpa faster, he states it would roughly take half the time to create the database and run aircrack than it would using straight dictionary attack. everything i see on these boards suggests that it takes LONGER to make the database and i am seeing the same results. does airolib run faster if i use the versions of aircrack and sqlite in the way that was suggested in the tutorial? otherwise, i'm out of ideas.

Old English brægen "brain," from Proto-Germanic *bragnam (cf. Middle Low German bregen, Old Frisian and Dutch brein), from PIE root *mregh-m(n)o- "skull, brain" (cf. Greek brekhmos "front part of the skull, top of the head"). But Liberman writes that brain "has no established cognates outside West Germanic ..." and is not connected to the Greek word. More probably, he writes, its etymon is PIE *bhragno "something broken."
The custom of using the plural to refer to the substance (literal or figurative), as opposed to the organ, dates from 16c. Figurative sense of "intellectual power" is from late 14c.; meaning "a clever person" is first recorded 1914. Brain teaser is from 1923. Brain stem first recorded 1879, from German. Brain drain is attested from 1963. An Old English word for "head" was brægnloca, which might be translated as "brain locker."

brain (brān)
The portion of the central nervous system that is enclosed within the cranium, continuous with the spinal cord, and composed of gray matter and white matter. It is the primary center for the regulation and control of bodily activities, receiving and interpreting sensory impulses, and transmitting information to the muscles and body organs. It is also the seat of consciousness, thought, memory, and emotion. Also called encephalon.
The central organ in the nervous system, protected by the skull. The brain consists of the medulla, which sends signals from the spinal cord to the rest of the brain and also controls the autonomic nervous system; the pons, a mass of nerve fibers connected to the medulla; the cerebellum, which controls balance and coordination; and the cerebrum, the outer layer of which, the cerebral cortex, is the location of memory, sight, speech, and other higher functions.
The cerebrum contains two hemispheres (the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere), each of which controls different functions. In general, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and such functions as spatial perception, whereas the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and functions such as speech.
Under the cerebral cortex are the thalamus, the main relay center between the medulla and the cerebrum; and the hypothalamus, which controls blood pressure, body temperature, hunger, thirst, sex drive, and other visceral functions.

WATCH: James O'Keefe Crosses The US-Mexico Border Dressed As Osama Bin Laden
Listen to The News Junkie on iHeartRadio
Investigative filmmaker James O'Keefe exposes the U.S.-Mexico border's vulnerability to terrorism in his latest undercover project, obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller.
O'Keefe's Project Veritas video reminds viewers of recent statements by the president and Obama administration officials that the southern border is secure. O'Keefe then proceeds to Hudspeth County, Texas, to easily cross back and forth cross the Rio Grande wearing the costume of modern history's most recognizable terrorist.

1.) Registration. Even though I was a pre-reg attendee and got my badge in the mail, I'd go down to the registration area occasionally to check out Linecon 09... strangely enough, it never materialized! Registration, you guys were awesome!
2.) IRT. Usually I get yelled at at least once a year for just going about my normal business. But this year things were different. Every member of IRT that I saw performing their job did it politely and professionally. When one IRT bumped into me when going up the escalator on Friday, she actually apologized (rather than saying "GET THE*#&$*@#&$ OUT OF THE WAY") and she told me that the rudeness of IRT is one of the reasons she joined staff. I don't remember her name but the other IRT with her had callsign Akuma. They were both very nice. I can't find one bad thing to say about IRT this year. Thank you so much everyone for keeping the con running smoothly.
3.) Negotiation with the hotel for discounts on Hyatt food. I remember this being a discussion on the forums for a while (I'm a long time lurker) and I believe it was mentioned that it was pretty much impossible to do. Someone made it happen though. I suppose the Hyatt was sick of having an empty restaurant losing so much business to Giordano's and McDonald's when their rooms are completely sold out. The "Japanese inspired" menu was delicious (curry chicken FTW...even if it's really not that Japanese). Thanks Hyatt and ACEN, for providing affordable fooding options inside the con!
4.) MOVE. They were absolutely amazing both in concert and to the fans afterwards. Motsu even gave out his PSN ID (I sent him a friend request, we'll see if he takes it)
5.) The Spoony Bards. These guys are awesome every year, and thank you ACEN for providing them with the main stage this year. Ever since I met these guys at the Angela Aki/Nobuo Uematsu meet and greet a few years ago, I've been a fan.
I don't have a lot to complain about, and a lot of this may have to do more with contracts than anything else, but they need to be said...
1.) Only one MOVE concert?! What about all the people who couldn't make Friday's show? I'm glad I was able to make it to the con on Friday to see them. I'm wondering if this was either part of ACEN's contract with Avex or whether it was a choice on ACEN's part to cause the concert to be more crowded than usual in an effort to impress Avex for future conventions. Either way this is kind of a FAIL... T_T
2.) The bass during Friday's concert was turned up way too high and drowned out Yuri's beautiful vocals. This is a crime. The same thing happened during High and Mighty Color two years ago, when we could barely hear Maaki for about half the performance (apparently only Friday was an issue and they fixed it for Saturday at that time, though).
3.) Concert delays. I thought the time listed in the program was the starting time for the concert, not starting time for TECH WORK/SETUP. What gives, guys? At least you provided us with one hell of a lightshow before Friday's concert started and some awesome dance music. But Saturday's delays are really inexcusable.
4.) Picture policy with MOVE. I haven't been to a lot of panels/autograph sessions with guests in the past so I'm not sure exactly what the deal is there...but they seemed friendly enough to not be the type of celebrities to say "You can take pictures OF me, but not WITH me - I don't want my image tainted by my fans." I got their autographs and talked to them a bit in Japanese, but was really disappointed that I couldn't get a picture with them since they're my favorite Japanese band. Again, this could be a contract issue or it could be a rule designed to avoid holding up the lines...but the rule was present for both autograph sessions and the panel. A shame, since the panel didn't have THAT many people in the first place. >_<
5.) The TOOL that plowed his way into a crowded elevator when the IRT on the elevator with us told him it was full. I guess on Sunday people don't really care about listening to IRT since getting their badge taken away at that point isn't that big of a deal. The elevators in general during checkout were painful...the only way to really make it fair would have been to keep an IRT on each elevator to ensure people don't ride them up to go down - this makes it really hard for the people on the highest floors. But this is really unavoidable during certain times of day, I guess.
6.) Concert policy concerning bags/cameras. One HEROIC IRT on Saturday attempted to watch everyone's bag who wanted to go into the concert...but still the rule is lame. I understand the "no props" rule, and to a degree the "no bags" rule...I mean, you don't want people sneaking in something that could hurt other attendees or the performers (even though without IRT Hero anybody who doesn't have a hotel room, car, or other place to put their bags is out of luck as far as the concert is concerned)...but why no cameras? Why not just say "no flash photography"? Is it a contract issue?

By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
Other than its decidedly 21st-century angles, Sean Salisbury's story is timeless: Show spur-of-the-moment stupidity, deny it in hopes it will be forgotten — then find it follows you around instead.
"I was ashamed, and I didn't want to say anything," says Salisbury, who was an NFL quarterback for eight years and an ESPN NFL analyst for 12. "I thought it would go away and let my ego get in the way. Since then, I've beat myself up about it more than 10 baseball bats could. A stupid mistake can cost you, and this has really cost me. I should have been having this conversation a long time ago."
But what Salisbury, 46, is admitting simply substantiates what's already an urban legend on the Internet: that he took cellphone photos of his private parts and showed them.
Yuck. Salisbury says it only happened once — "a sophomoric mistake" in a Connecticut bar in 2006 — for which ESPN suspended him for a week for then-unspecified reasons.
Salisbury's ESPN contract wasn't renewed in 2008; he says ESPN never specifically cited the incident in letting him go. In September, he was dropped by a Dallas sports-talk-radio station but strictly because of "disagreements over my contract and show content."
Speculation over the incident has popped up on various websites. Salisbury has filed suit against one — Deadspin.com — claiming he has been victimized by its "long-running smear campaign" and "malicious lies." (Deadspin declined comment.)
But by his own admission, Salisbury didn't add to the site's veracity when he had the chance.
He was asked in a Deadspin interview posted Aug. 14, 2008, if he "took a picture of your genitals on your cellphone and showed it around" and whether such "rumors" were "remotely true."
Salisbury's response: "I haven't addressed it because it's so absurd and such a bald-faced lie from what the speculation is out there from media outlets and Internet and bloggers that hop on and want to beat you up because they don't like my opinion in football. It never happened."
That was then.
Now, Salisbury feels better from having had anger-management therapy — "I needed help. I had a lot of inner anger for years." He says he's trying to champion the cause of accuracy in online reporting in a lawsuit against Deadspin that he insists is anything but frivolous.
And the book he said he'd write about ESPN in an erratic e-mail exchange with Deadspin in September — saying "some major reputations" would be ruined — is now off.
"I'm not a tell-all guy and regret saying that," he says.
Salisbury says the online buzz about his pictures had a devastating effect on his kids and put on hold on any national broadcasting comeback.
"It was stupid —dumb!— but not malicious," he says. "How can it ruin a good career? … I've gone from being on six days a week to disappearing. And it's not like I wanted to disappear. … But it feels good getting it off my chest."
Only the hardhearted wouldn't see a chance for his redemption.
Bradshaw: Favre out to embarrass Packers
As we move closer to the Woodstock of Corporate America — aka the Super Bowl— the big question is heating up again: Will Brett Favre retire?
If Favre's Minnesota Vikings win the Super Bowl, says Fox's Terry Bradshaw, the answer is yes. But if Minnesota loses Sunday or at the Super Bowl, he says, Favre will be back.
Bradshaw says Favre's main motivation, after feeling hurt and then mad at the Green Bay Packers, is to "embarrass them, put it in their face. And nothing would throw it in their face more than winning the Super Bowl."
But when it comes to coaches-turned-TV-analysts, Bradshaw suggests you shouldn't assume they feel like they have anything left to prove. While he says he doesn't know CBS' Bill Cowher or ESPN's Jon Gruden, he's not sure either is itching to get back on the sidelines. He thinks Gruden would go back first, while Cowher would hold out for "the perfect situation. … But if you have enough money and a fluff job like TV, why coach?"
But Bradshaw himself says "at 61, I need new challenges."
So, here's his latest: starring in Las Vegas in his own "stand-up comedy act, with singing and a chorus, that's based on my speeches."
Huh? No really, he insists, saying writers have worked on the idea for two years, rehearsals start this spring and — the show biz gods willing — it will open with a month in Vegas in August and go on to casinos and "big venues."
He sounds game: "This could be big. I might have to get toupees, liposuction."
•CBS stepping up: CBS producer Lance Barrow says he doesn't like the idea of CBS' AFC title game Sunday being a dress rehearsal for its upcoming Super Bowl. But as it adds tape machines and cameras — it will use 40 Sunday, up 20 to 22 from regular-season NFL games — "maybe it is a rehearsal."
CBS, which doesn't normally use sideline reporters, will use Steve Tasker in that role Sunday. Tasker and Solomon Wilcots will be on the sidelines for the Super Bowl.
Asked if CBS provides continuous online coverage of key individual players, Barrow says: "Right now, we don't plan to do that, but you never know."

The Photographer Series: Damea Dorsey
Damea Dorsey's stellar surf imagery from around the world
Damea Dorsey started taking photos as a business decision. While working in the marketing department of a surf wear brand, Dorsey took up photography to "get the images he needed"—but once he started pulling the trigger behind the lens, passion replaced necessity, and Dorsey quickly turned his side job in to his full time pursuit. Starting with the basics in the time of film and quickly adapting to today's digital realm. Since stepping out of the office and in to the world of photography, Damea has become one of the most well-rounded and most-published photographers in the surf world. His background as a lifeguard helping him get in and out of hairy situations in the lineup, while his love of good times, positive outlook, and charming personality has helped him gain access to the inner circles of the world's top surfers. Simply put, Damea shoots with 'em all day, and parties with 'em all night, and in both cases rarely misses a photographic moment. "I learned a long time ago never to leave the house without my camera," says Damea. "There's a fine line between being 'the guy jamming the camera in your face' and 'the guy capturing a moment in time'—I like to think that I'm capturing moments whether I'm swimming at Backdoor or enjoying a bit of nightlife with the boys—both can be rewarding, and both have their respective dangers," laughs Damea.
Trust is huge when it comes to letting a photographer join in on some of the debauchery that happens when surfers exit the water and enter the night. Damea knows what photos to show and what photos to file in the "secret" vault. "When you swim out with a surfer in crazy waves, and put your life on the line along with them, a bond and trust is going to form," says Damea. "The surfer trusts that you won't miss a shot in the water and won't blow them up when you get an image of them engaging is something sketchy—when you travel and work with your friends you start to have each other's backs." Case and point—while on location in Portugal with John John Florence, Damea followed a solo John John out to a ledging death slab three hundred yards off the beach where after manhandling a few psycho pits, John John took a terrifying wipeout nearly breaking his back and getting raked over a shallow reef. Damea made the switch from photographer to lifeguard in a split second and took control of a scary situation, making sure that one of the world's best surfers made it back to the beach unscathed.
Some photographers have a very specific "look"—an unmistakable style that when you see one of their images, you know right away that it's theirs. With Dorsey, he strives to make an all-encompassing wide array of photographer his specialty. "I want to do it all and do it all well," says Dorsey. "I work hard and try to put everything in to every shot. It doesn't matter if I'm shooting a model or a surfer getting barreled—I put the same passion and energy in to everything I do."
TransWorld SURF: How long have you been shooting surf photos?
Damea Dorsey: Got my first professional camera and waterhousing back in 2001. Larry "Flame" Moore and I talked for a while and decided the best bet was for me to get a Canon A2E (film) with a 15mm and a Dale Kobitech water housing. I got some really good photos with that setup.
Favorite wave to shoot?
I don't really have a favorite wave to shoot. More of a favorite type of wave. Favorite type of waves to shoot would be ones with a sick backdrop, clear water, epic light, and it either breaks in the same spot every time or perfect peaks all over the place.
Favorite subjects to shoot?
I love shooting with guys like Chippa Wilson, Josh Kerr, John John Florence, Mitch Coleborn, Jack Freestone, etc. Guys that are fun to travel with, go super big, love to surf, and have a good time wherever they are.
What kind of fins do you use when swimming?
I've tried so many and ended up with Da Fin. Perfect balance of sprinting speed and longer distance swimming. They're light for travel and are great for bodysurfing and anything you need to do in the water.
Current go-to camera?
Currently using the Canon 1D Mark III and the 5D Mark II.
Gnarliest experience while shooting in the water?
I've been in quite a few but the one where JJF and I paddled out at this heavy slab in Portugal by ourselves is the freshest in my mind. I really should of had my longer lens water housing but only had my fisheye port. The sets were big and there was a lot of water moving around. It was really hard to stay in a good position. Whenever I would go in really deep a huge set would come and I would get caught by the second or third set wave. I got pushed in over the reef and was so close to getting slammed on the reef by the barrel but squeaked through by the skin of my teeth more than once. Then JJF hit some of the reef while bottom turning and that threw him off balance and he ended up slamming face first on the reef. It knocked him out and when he came up he was pretty spun. I swam over to him and there was blood on his head, face, and chin. Neither of us had been out there before and we were a little concerned on how to get in. We just went for it and everything worked out. On the beach JJF and I reassessed the damage to him and there were a lot more cuts and bruises. We took him to the hospital and he got a few stitches. He had to surf a WCT event the next day. He's a pretty tough kid.
What photographer's work do you admire?
Until recently I hadn't really thought about the other photographers work much. I've taken some time and opened my eyes and I'd have to say I'm pretty impressed with what Zak Noyle and Chris Burkard have done and are doing.
Best advice you could give an up and coming photographer?
Do what you love because life is way too short to spend it doing things you don't love.

Removing blighted eyesores
(Cleveland) - Cuyahoga County Council is being asked to a approve $50 million dollars in funding to demolish vacant, blighted homes.
Bonds would be sold to finance the removal of thousands of eyesores.
Council Executive Ed FitzGerald feels the program will pay for itself, by raising property values, and increasing property tax revenue.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty believes the removal of blighted homes will help bring down crime. Jim Rokakis, director of the Thriving Communities Institute feels people may decide to return to, or stay in these neighborhoods, instead of moving away.
Frank Ford, chairman of the Vacant and Abandoned Property Action Council warns that it's not financially feasible to rehab most of these homes because property values have fallen so low.
Tim McGinty, Jim Rokakis, and Frank Ford.
He contends it would cost far more to rehab these houses than they would be worth on the open market.
FitzGerald hopes council will approve the legislation in May, and they can begin removing blighted homes by late summer or early fall.

[Produced by DJ Premier]
And now for my next number I'd like to return to the…
[Nas] Classic
[Kanye West] Uh, uh, – timeless
[Kool G Rap] Live straight classic
[Nas] Classic
[Kool G Rap] Live, straight classic
[Kanye West] Timeless
[Sample] I'd like to return to the classic
[Rakim] Kanye West
[Rakim Sample] I'm Rakim, the fiend of a microphone
[Verse 1: Rakim]
Uh yeah, is y'all ready for 20-07? It's now another drought
Everybody's a killer, wow, we buggin' out
Since '86 showing the crowd what I'm about
And they still wanna know when the album coming out
Ask the teenagers, OG's and nasty kids
What their definition of "classic" is
Timeless, so age don't count in the booth
When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth
Ain't no doubting the truth, I'm off the meters
Everybody cosigning, even non-believers
Since I came in the door became one of y'alls leaders
In a fresh pair of Air Force One sneakers
Uptowns, we call 'em uppies when they're on divas
Probably worn when KRS-One teaches
Nas made you look before the heaters
I bet you Kan' had em on when he walked with Jesus
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
You can't buy this Superfly-ness, like a shine is
Your Highness is performing; look how long the line is
It's what happens when you make shit that's timeless
It's what happens, these rappers is the pioneers
What do it take to be a legend like Nas is?
That's so novice, I'm so polished
I got a right to be a lil bit snobbish
I did a lil bit of college
Semesters, it took two, like Rob Base
To let me figure out this wasn't my place
The beat's slow, 'til you listen to my pace
'Cause I be killing shit, but that's evident
And y'all feeling it, but I expected it
If it's classic, it's gon' last forever then
I'm everywhere you never been, and better than I ever been
[Nas Samples - One Love & It Ain't Hard To Tell]
Hold the fort down, represent to the fullest
Nas'll rock well
[Verse 3: Nas]
Perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper
To them, it hurts to hear this
Oh, you went platinum? Yeah, that's nice
Now let me see you do the same thing twice
Three times, four times, then a couple of mo' times
Please, you're Amateur Night, it's Showtime
It's one life to live, so live it the best you can
The world could use one less man
Not enough air, not enough car factories
To manufacture new vehicles, sedans and vans
When they do make the whip you like, your chips ain't right
By the time you could afford it, the car ain't important
In the streets I'm in, it's just iron
Cops keep firin' in my environment
Leaving you slumped, then they drive home
Far from the hood, brothers they eager to jump on
I like to be the wall that they toast up on
I like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong
I'm classic like the Air One's, the hustler shoe
That's what I'm accustomed to, yeah
[Hook: Samples]
[KRS-One Sample]
"Of course - we have Blastmaster KRS-One"
[Verse 4: KRS-One]
How many of y'all got Criminal Minded?
You, you, you; y'all don't be blinded
Me, I got no jewels on my neck
Why? I don't need 'em, I got your respect
KRS-One, twenty years I rock
I do it for JMJ and Scott La Rock
This hip-hop and we's a nation
Don't you wanna hear more KRS-One on your radio station?
Instead of broadcasting how we smoke them trees
On the radio we need to hear more local emcees
Where you at? C'mon, where you at?
This is the difference between emceeing and rap
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal
Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people
Peace, Love, Unity, havin' fun
These are the lyrics of KRS-One
DJ Premier's remix of the amazing song, in the original song Rakim's verse is the last one and Kanye West's verse is the first one.

'Fitness & fatness': Arnold School study weighs in
by Karen Petit, Arnold School of Public Health, email@example.com
People can be obese but metabolically healthy and fit, with no greater risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular disease or cancer than normal weight people, according to a study from the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health and published online this week in the European Health Journal.
The findings show a subset of obese people who are metabolically healthy, meaning they had no insulin resistance, diabetes, high cholesterol or blood pressure issues. They also have a higher level of fitness, as measured by how well the heart and lungs perform, than other obese people. Being obese does not seem to have a detrimental effect on their health, and doctors should bear this in mind when considering what, if any, interventions are required, say the researchers.
"It is well known that obesity is linked to a large number of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular problems and cancer. However, there appears to be a subset of obese people who seem to be protected from obesity-related metabolic complications," said Francisco Ortega, the study's lead author.
"They may have greater cardio-respiratory fitness than other obese individuals, but, until now, it was not known the extent to which these metabolically healthy but obese people are at lower risk of diseases or premature death," said Ortega, a research associate in the department of physical activity and sport at the University of Granada (Spain) and at the department of biosciences and nutrition at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
The project and investigation took place at USC's Arnold School, under the direction of Steven Blair, a professor in the department of exercise science and the department of epidemiology and biostatistics. Blair is responsible for the long-running "Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study" (ACLS), which provided the 43,265 participants for this current analysis.
The participants were recruited to the ACLS between 1979 and 2003. They completed a detailed questionnaire, including information on their medical and lifestyle history. They had a physical examination that included a treadmill test to assess cardio-respiratory fitness and measurements of height, weight, waist circumference and their percentage of body fat. Blood pressure, cholesterol and fasting glucose levels also were measured. The study participants were followed until they died or until the end of 2003.
Ortega and his colleagues found that 46 percent of the obese participants were metabolically healthy. After adjusting for several confounding factors, including fitness, the metabolically healthy but obese people had a 38 percent lower risk of death from any cause than their unhealthy obese peers. No significant difference was seen between the metabolically healthy but obese and the healthy, normal weight participants. The risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular disease or cancer was reduced by 30 to 50 percent for the metabolically healthy but obese people. There were no significant differences observed between the metabolically healthy but obese and the metabolically healthy, normal weight participants.
"Our study suggests that metabolically healthy but obese people have a better fitness level than the rest of obese individuals," Ortega said. "Based on the data that our group and others have collected over the years, we believe that getting more exercise broadly and positively influences major body systems and organs and consequently contributes to make someone metabolically healthier, including obese people. In our study, we measure fitness, which is largely influenced by exercise."
The study has two major findings. The first is that a better cardio-respiratory fitness level should be considered as a characteristic of this subset of metabolically healthy obese people. Second, once fitness is accounted for, the study shows for the first time that metabolically healthy but obese individuals have a similar prognosis as metabolically healthy normal-weight individuals, and a better prognosis than their obese peers with an abnormal metabolic risk factors, Blair said.
The researchers say their findings have important clinical implications. "The data suggest that accurate body fat measurements and fitness assessment can contribute to properly define a subset of obese individuals who do not have an elevated risk of CVD [cardiovascular disease] or cancer," Ortega said.
Blair said the findings are significant for physicians and other health care professionals.
Physicians could assess fitness, fatness and metabolic markers to better estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer of obese patients. "Our data support the idea that interventions might be more urgently needed in metabolically unhealthy and unfit obese people, since they are at a higher risk," Blair said. "This research highlights once again the important role of physical fitness as a health marker."
Other Arnold School researchers who worked on the study include Mei Sui in the department of exercise science and Duck-chul Lee, a post-doctoral fellow now at the University of Iowa.

Are Safe4Athletes Model Policy program right for School and Colleges? I see this as a real solution for troubled schools and teams.
Coach/Employee Conduct Policies for School and College Athletics Departments
Every educational institution that is a recipient of federal funds must comply with a federal law, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which includes a prohibition against sexual harassment and include the obligation to have a Title IX Coordinator and widely distributed sexual harassment policies and procedures. This is an area in which the athletics department cannot see itself as operating in isolation. If anyone in the athletics department becomes aware of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual violence of any kind, the case should be reported to the institution and handled according to established Title IX policy and procedures.
Complaint Process Flow Chart
Complaint Process. The Club recognizes how difficult it may be for an athlete or parent to report a coach or staff/volunteer offense because of fear of retaliation against the athlete or his/her family or subjecting a young athlete to an adversarial or hostile examination process. Similarly, coaches and staff must be assured of notice of allegations, a fair hearing and protection from frivolous complaints. Thus, the following mechanisms have been put in place to establish an appropriate fact-finding and hearing process to be utilized for any complaint.

will you explaing in more detail what do u want to do?
May 01, 2012 05:53 AM|jrtibayan|LINK
id like to know how other developers manage the membership, access role and rules
from the book im reading it taught me that i have to use Website ASP.NET configuration and so i now know one way to do it
i want to do it differently than the book tho.. instead of adding the user by using the ASP.NET Configuration i add users from the builtin Register.aspx on the Account folder of an ASP.NET Web Site project template.
so i already have the means of adding new users to the ASPNETDB
what i need to manage now is the roles and rules.
or do most developers just manage the authorization Roles and Rules using the ASP.NET Configuration and webconfig file?
May 10, 2012 09:36 PM|jrtibayan|LINK
is there any way to delete a post?
i want to start a new one cause it seems this will forever be unresolved.
seems only the new posts are noticed by readers..

Create an enumerator file and you can get your roles from that file
namespace MyProject.Enumerator { public enum Role { SuperAdmin = 1, Admin = 2, Manager = 3, seller = 4, Buyer = 5 } }
Just save the roleID into DB
OR Create a master table for all roles and access from there.
May 12, 2012 12:59 AM|jrtibayan|LINK
i didnt get what this is for
what i want to do know the best way to Insert, Update and Delete Roles and also Access Rules
i know i can manualy open ASP.NET Configuration and add roles and access rules
is that the only way?
i think its kinda inefficient to open the project and access the ASP.NET Config from there
so id like to know if theres better way that is more preffered by developers
i also know i can change the access rules by opening the webconfig file
can you guys tell me if its the only way then if it is then i have to work with if
and if it is not please tell me a better way and more prefered by other developers to use
May 12, 2012 01:46 AM|Jo em|LINK
nope jrtibayan, ofcource theres alot of ways to do that.
Orchard CMS is a great one, you can find how Orchrd manage thier roles.
You can Implement your own Role Provider and Membership Provider.

In ASP.NET,Role management helps you manage authorization, which enables you to specify the resources that users in your application are allowed to access.Role management lets you treat groups of users as a unit by assigning users to roles such as manager, sales, member, and so on.
After you have established roles, you can create access rules in your application.A typical use is to then create a set of pages that you want to restrict to certain users.Often you isolate these restricted pages in a folder by themselves.Then you can establish rules that grant and deny access to restricted folders.For example, you can configure the site so that members or managers have access to the pages in the restricted folder and all other users are denied access.If an unauthorized user tries to view a restricted page, the user either sees an error or is redirected to a page that you specify.
If you want to insert, update and delete roles, ASP.NET contains powerful role management API. Using those API, you can create,delete role, add user to role,find user in role ect.Specific usage, please read RoleProvider Class
If you want to enable role management for your asp.net application,you need to do the following things:
1. Configure Role Store
2. Configure Role Provider in Web.config
4. Perform Role-Based Authorization
For more details,please read Use Role Manager in ASP.NET 2.0

text: Love me some MMA so i love the fights being on there, however, it definitely could use more surfing. I use to watch Drive-Thru all the time, and the occassional contest, but it's very rare to catch any type of surfing on there these days. Budget seems to be the biggest problem for these type of shows, they need more viewers and more budget to make it worth it to the networks.

SAN FRANCISCO—The Judicial Council adopted a resolution at its October 24 business meeting proclaiming November 2013 to be "Court Adoption and Permanency Month" in California. Working with the Governor, the Legislature, and local courts and court partners, the council seeks to develop procedures, programs, and resources that lead to swift, fair, and permanent resolutions for all children in foster care and dependency proceedings.
"All children deserve to be raised in safe, healthy, loving, permanent homes," said Los Angeles Judge Michael Nash, who addressed the council during the meeting. Judge Nash, the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Juvenile Court, was instrumental in raising awareness of the importance of timely finalization of permanency when he organized the first Adoption Saturday in 1998. "There are many different paths to permanency—adoption, guardianship, family reunification—each of which, when achieved, marks a successful case resolution and exit from the foster care system. These successes can only happen if the juvenile courts and their partners keep permanency goals in sight from the beginning of every case and work toward them throughout the process."
Council Hears Personal Stories From Families
At its October 24 meeting, the council heard from three families who took different routes to permanency (see photos and captions or listen to audiocast: 38:53):
Local Court Adoption Events
In recognition of Court Adoption and Permanency Month, many California courts will sponsor special adoption events, including Adoption Saturdays and other locally designated days throughout the month. During the special events, judges, court staff, attorneys, and adoption agencies finalize adoptions of children and celebrate with the adoptive families.
Foster Care Statistics
For the 15th straight November, the council resolution calls attention both to the successes achieved over the past decade and the need for continuing efforts to achieve family reunification, adoption, and permanency for children.
Following is further information and statistics about foster care in California:

Four Utah ski resorts received A grades for their environmental performances last year in the 11th annual survey by the Ski Area Citizens' Coalition, which is based in California but includes Utah's Save Our Canyons.
All three Park City-area resorts made the top 10 among Western resorts. Park City Mountain Resort captured the No. 1 spot overall with a 93 percent rating out of 100. Deer Valley was fourth and Canyons Resort ninth. Of 10 Beehive State ski areas judged by the environmental group, Solitude Mountain Resort received the lowest grade a D.
Solitude General Manager David DeSeelhorst dismissed the report's relevance, contending his resort received low marks in many categories simply because he did not respond to the lengthy survey. A coalition spokeswoman acknowledged that Solitude's failure to respond hurt its score.
"I do about 90 percent of what all the other resorts do, but they don't give us any credit for it," DeSeelhorst said, adding he figures Solitude should have gotten a B grade. "This is a matter of the bigger the resort, the better the report because they have people [to answer the survey]. The little resorts always get punished in this report."
The coalition's scoreboard is based on 35 environmental criteria. Habitat protection is the most important, accounting for almost half of the grading system's possible points. Remaining points are divided between resorts' efforts to address global climate change, their attempts to protect the watershed and their overall "green" policies and practices.
Park City Mountain received A's in all four categories, including perfect scores for protecting habitat and the watershed. Its only major flaw was a lack of renewable energy generating capacity on site, the report said. Deer Valley and Canyons also received A's for land and water protections and overall policies, but each did a little worse than Park City Mountain in dealing with global climate change.
While Canyons received an A in habitat protection, Solitude took a sizable hit for the SkiLink proposal to connect the two resorts with a gondola.
DeSeelhorst objected again. "It's not even my proposal," he said. "And it's not even a bona fide proposal at this point."
Alta and Snowbird each received B grades from the coalition, with high ratings for habitat and watershed protection but bad reviews for their climate change positions and general application of sound environmental practices.
The U.S. Forest Service thinks more highly of the performances of the Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts. Both recently received awards for outstanding environmental stewardship from Dave Whittekiend, supervisor of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

GSA Increases Mileage Reimbursement Rates for Federal Employees
July 28, 2008
Contact: Jen Millikin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The mileage reimbursement rate federal employees receive for the use of Privately Owned Automobiles (POA), motorcycles, and airplanes for official travel increased today, according to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
The new mileage rates are effective on August 1, 2008, and will increase from 50.5 cents to 58.5 cents per mile for automobiles, from 30.5 cents to 58.5 cents per mile for motorcycles, and from $1.07 to $1.27 per mile for airplanes. The rates for motorcycles and airplanes have not been changed since 2006. GSA also increased the mileage reimbursement rate for relocations of federal employees from 19 cents to 27 cents per mile effective on July 1, 2008.
"With the higher costs of gas, I am pleased that GSA was able to move swiftly on increasing mileage reimbursements on the heels of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announcement," said Kevin Messner, GSA Acting Associate Administrator of the Office of Governmentwide Policy. "We have a proposed change in law for Congress to consider that would allow us to automatically match IRS rate changes and reduce redundancy and expedite the process."
This latest rate for automobiles mirrors the new optional standard mileage rate announced on June 23, 2008 by the IRS for use by taxpayers in calculating the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.
By law, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Defense, and representatives of employee organizations of the federal government, GSA conducts periodic investigations of costs associated with travel and operation of privately owned vehicles on a yearly basis. GSA may not exceed the POA standard mileage reimbursement rate set by the IRS.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? In December 1995, GSA created its Office of Governmentwide Policy to consolidate its policy functions into a single organization.

"Welcome to my family. We're always in each other's business," announces matriarch Emma in local playwright Miguel Santana's "The Righteous and Very Real Housewives of Utah County." Alligator Press Productions is making its debut with the world premiere of this comic and satirical portrait of the interlocked lives of five women in three generations of the Pratt family from Payson.
The play's title conjures images from a soap opera, and "Righteous Housewives" incorporates many of that genre's conventions. The characters are only skin deep, the story is episodic, and the tone varies from funny to confessional. But the play possesses some redeeming encounters and flashes of insight, and the actors make the most of what the material offers them. Some scenes, like the bridal shower in Act II, where the women play a game called How Well Do You Know Your Fiancé?, are quite entertaining.
The play revolves around the decison by Mormon grandmother Emma (Anne Cullimore Decker's) to get remarried to Dimitri (Jim Dale), a musician who is 20 years younger and a Russian émigré. Her daughter, Joy (April Fossen); daughters-in-law Ramona (Holly Fowers) and Lupita (Anne Louise Brings); granddaughter Jena (Nicki Nixon); and granddaughter-in-law Wendy (Haley McCormick) react to her plans with emotions ranging from anger and condemnation to acceptance and support.
In the process, they reveal attitudes shaped by their upbringing in the LDS Church and life within the conservative climate of Utah County or their attempt to express their individuality beyond these limitations. Joy and Ramona cope with unhappiness and stress by popping pills; Wendy tries to steer a middle course by saying, "We don't stir the pot"; Jena describes herself as "a flexible Mormon" and proclaims, "I refuse to deny other people the right to be happy"; and Lupita infuses challenging situations with her unique brand of earthy Mexican philosophy.
Santana loads the play with every conceivable social and political issue Jena is married to a black Muslim, Lupita originally entered the country illegally, Joy hosts a fundraiser to support California's Proposition 8, and the family includes both a gay couple and a suicide which sometimes seems like overload. The play's most satisfying moments result from Emma's interaction with Lupita and Jena, where she describes her loneliness, fears of growing old, and determination to create a new life. Decker handles these scenes with poignant confidence.
Dale injects some depth and humor into Dimitri, the play's least-developed character, although we need more scenes of him with Emma to understand their relationship. Fossen's steely Joy has fun-loving, vulnerable edges. McCormick's wide-eyed Wendy is naïve and wants to please everyone. Nixon's Jena is outspoken, articulate and honest, and Brings' charming Lupita is passionate and impulsive. Fowers has the biggest challenge humanizing Ramona, who is a nasty, unrelenting gargoyle of a woman, but she finds ways to reveal her underlying insecurity and frustration.
Director Andra Harbold wisely avoids separating the play's short, choppy scenes with blackouts, opting instead to have the next scene's characters come onstage as the preceding ones exit. That gives the production fluidity and continuity.
"Righteous Housewives" has little new to say about LDS family relationships, but watching five perceptive actresses flesh out the play's loyalties and conflicts offers its own rewards.
'The Righteous and Very Real Housewives of Utah County'

When • reviewed Friday, May 17. Continues Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, May 19 at 2 and 7 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, May 23-25, 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, May 26, at 2 and 7 p.m. (Q&A with director, playwright and cast will follow the May 23 performance and May 26 matinee.)

Luke Bryan's spring break crowd nearly doubles this year
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan is seeing his audience grow in a big way. The country star performed his annual Spring Break concerts in Panama City Beach, Florida Tuesday and Wednesday, drawing more than 230,000 fans to the two shows.
That's nearly double the number of people who turned out for last year's concerts. At his 2013 Spring Break shows Luke performed for an estimated total of 120,000. Bryan's Spinnaker dates coincided with the release of his new EP, "Spring Break 6...Like We Ain't Ever," which is available now.
Fans who weren't able to attend Luke's Spring Break concerts in person will still get a chance to see some of the action. Highlights from Wednesday's show will be featured on GAC's "Headline Country" on March 20th, while CMT taped the March 29th episode of "Hot 20 Countdown" at Tuesday's concert.

You've never seen a foam gun like this! The Foam Cannon HP is capable of such a high volume of foam, a vehicle can be completely whited out. The foam clings to vertical panels and provides the lubrication you need for a safe car wash. The foam provides a pre-soak that loosens dirt and grime so hand-washing is easier.
The Foam Cannon HP works with a pressure washer. The velocity of the water combined with a quality car shampoo will generate amazing suds. This wash process actually uses less water at a higher pressure, so its eco-friendly, too.
The Foam Cannon HP is made of brass for maximum durability with a 1 liter fluid tank for the car shampoo. A vertical jet nozzle is included so you can apply foam or rinse in a sweeping side to side motion. This nozzle allows you to work around and then down the vehicle, which is the recommended way to wash a vehicle.
For the best results, use McKee's 37 Xtreme Foam Formula in your Foam Cannon HP. This shampoo was developed specifically for foam guns and produces an incredible amount of foam. It may take some experimentation to get your preferred dilution, but start with 1 ounce of shampoo. Pour the shampoo into the Foam Cannon HP tank, hook it up to your pressure washer, and let the foam fly!
The vertical jet nozzle sprays foam in a side to side sweeping motion.
The Foam Cannon HP covers the vehicle in a blizzard of foam!
The Foam Cannon HP can also be used as a nozzle to rinse the vehicle.
The Foam Cannon HP presoaks your vehicle in suds to start loosening grime immediately.
Not sure which fitting you need? We can help!
The Foam Cannon HP attaches to the trigger/gun assembly for your pressure washer in the exact same way that your wand currently does.You will just need to remove the wand and look at the fitting that you currently have and match it up to one of the fitting that we offer below. The Foam Cannon HP will connect in exactly the same way. Note: If you have a Karcher K3 X Series pressure washer you will need the Karcher HD/HDS fitting in addition to the Karcher X Series fitting (Sold Separately).

|Fans waiting for the event to start
The crowd erupted into cheers for Michael Cuddyer and Denard Span as they entered the room. Both players gladly answered an array of questions from the audience. The first question came from Butera and he asked the guys what they both liked most about Joe Mauer. They each gave the standard answer about Mauer being a good teammate and great player. Span went on to say that Mauer is so good that he doesn't even need a back-up catcher. This response got a roar of laughter from the crowd, even from Butera.
|Drew Butera and the NoDak Twins Fan
Some of the other questions from the fans included:
Who was your favorite player when you were growing up?
What sports did you play in high school?
How do you feel about an increase in the use of instant replay?
What are the positives and negatives of being a MLB Player?
Will Justin Morneau be healthy for the coming season?
I asked the question: How do you guys feel about the emergence of young players, like Kyle Gibson, as they attend their first Spring Training and have the possibility of making their major league debut?
Cuddyer offered up the response that it is always exciting to see the look of the players that are in their first big league camp at Spring Training. He said the "deer in the headlights" look is unmistakable. He also said it is great to see a young prospect get their first hit or first strikeout at the big league level. Those moments remind Cuddyer of when he had those milestones at the beginning of his career.

You could be at the next special even put on by the Minnesota Twins.

No, really. At an event in Brazil, a fighter is getting worked on in corner while a member of the cage crew is re-applying a decal/sticker to the cage above where he was sat. Some industrial strength glue drips onto fighter's face, the fighter thinks it's vasaline and rubs it in, gluing his own eye shut.
Happy ending though... Gluey McEyeshut won via technical decision after two rounds.
That's possibly the maddest ending to a fight I've ever heard of. Can anyone top it?

Are you sure the wicd server is started? Run "wicd" in a terminal and try it again.
Hello there,
Its been 2 or 3 days now I am hunting for a solution to this problem, My computer is running on Backtrack 5 R2 (GNOME). When I was testing it in Live session everything was working fine, after playing with it for a couple of hours I installed it on Hard drive.
Now, after Booting into installed package I opened wicd network manager and it showed me error message "Could not connect to WICD's D-Bus interface", I clicked on Ok button and It disappeared, Wicd was still working properly and I saw all the available wireless networks in list, I clicked on refresh and WICD window said "No wireless network found", I was wondering how could it be possible ?? So I hit refresh many times but still there were No network listed in the wicd window. I can see and connect to all the available networks on my Android phone and on a symbian one too, and it works on my friends laptop but doesn't show up in mine.
For the first problem (WICD D-Bus Interface) I followed the instructions provided in wiki and also some other from other sources but nothing worked for me.
When I reboot the machine It all happens from start i.e. WICD D-Bus interface Error --> Show available networks --> Refresh --> No wireless network available.
Can somebody please lead me towards a working solution ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Are you sure the wicd server is started? Run "wicd" in a terminal and try it again.
Do not use it ,, Try
ifconfig wlan0 up
or ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "your wireless"
dhcpcd wlan0
and try ping -c 3 google.com
Try running rfkill list to see if your wireless interface has been blocked.
and what IF it is blocked? I am having SUPER similar issues. worked perfect from dvd. upon install it give almost same issues. i dont know exact error it gives with wcid but at first or when im not running aircrack it would let me go into wcid just fine and connect, now its being dumb. what to do? i miss it working and the wife is loosing patience
Thanks everybody for all the responses so far but unfortunately I am still unable to get it working.
I checked the WICD daemon and its running, I tried to connect via console but it shows no result for "iwlist wlan0 scan" (the same way it does in WICD window) and if I somehow manage to connect to the network from console then it does not obtain the IP, but it does connect perfectly in Win 7.
I tried removing WICD completely and installing the Network manager but cant get it to work at all. I am sure I am missing out something like some extra packages but cant figure it out exactly.
Now I am running on a machine with no network connection and trying to figure out what can backtrack do without a working internet connection ?
Can anybody help me please ?
What type of driver are you using? Atheros driver AR9285 doesn't work with kernel 3.2.6. I have that and had to downgrade back to RC1. You might have to look and see if anybody else on the net is reporting driver issues with kernel 3.2.6.
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft Blocked: (no/yes)
Hard Blocked: (no/yes)
1: asus-wlan: wireless LAN
Soft Blocked: (no/yes)
Hard Blocked: (no/yes)
If it says something like above and any of them say "yes" then type this: rfkill unblock all and then run: rfkill list and they should all say no.... by tht point you should be fine. now this isnt a permanent fix sadly... idk how to write a script to execute this command at start up but if some1 does ias u can see it just needs 1 command and it will work fine... im not sure y after install it blocks the wifi card but yea hope this helps.
