In 924 Gilman Street, Curran crafts an intimate portrait of a small punk venue that continues to foster a vital music scene, and most importantly, a sense of hope that punk principles and practices can build a successful, long-running community.
Founded in late 1986, 924 Gilman Street is a DIY punk venue operated solely by volunteers. While many music venues, DIY or not, have succumbed to urban gentrification, and while punk culture became co-opted by the mainstream, 924 Gilman has survived and is still going strong.
The interviews & live performances show the synergy of band, audience, and venue that makes this a special place. The feature film is 86 minutes long, and the DVD extras include a short film with operational details of Gilman, plus a clean classroom audio version. All Region Compatible NTSC!

"While on a personal level I tend to agree more with the sentiment expressed in the ANTiSEEN song "Hippy Punk," I can't help but admire the tenacity of the collective of determined punks who run what might be the most well-known still operating punk rock venue in the world (R.I.P. CBGB's), 924 Gilman St. located in Berkeley, CA. Although the club hosts a lot of bands many people love but I absolutely cannot wrap my head around, the documentary thankfully moves beyond the music to shed light on the behind-the-scenes aspect of collective that operates the venue as well as tracing it's history.First-time filmmaker Jack Curran eschews the traditional narration you get in so many documentaries, but has no trouble conveying a clean, linear narrative through interviews with those involved in Gilman then and now. While a lot of the Berkeley PC-ness, whose aura seemed to envelop Gilman for a long period of time, has subsided to a large degree, the basic elements of hippiedom assumed by the folks who run the place is clearly still in force. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but it's still very much a true collective; one that in many ways is not really that different from a local food co-op, a community bank or an Israeli Kibbutz.The Gilman Street Project started as an experimental, volunteer run punk-oriented venue on New Year's Eve 1986-'87; but by the middle of 1988, the late Tim Yohannon (founder/creator of MaximumRocknRoll and one of the co-founders of Gilman) declared the 'experiment' a failure and walked away. Undaunted, some of the other people who worked there and saw not only it's potential but it's already established position as an anchor for the entire Berkeley scene decided to close it down for a month, re-organize everything, and reopen with a wider variety of music and performances. With the exception of that month, Gilman has continuously run shows every Friday and Saturday night for 20 years now - pretty damn impressive no matter how you look at it. With what's probably the third generation of people coming up through the ranks and running the place now, it's not surprising one person mentions regularly seeing ten and twelve year olds at shows. Overall it's very engaging film that, despite the often crappy music, will probably prove to be an important documentary over time."- B-Movie Buffet
"It's a funny thing to see the punk generation grow old. In America, raging against the machine must be done either ironically or moronically, unless you really want to be shot at from helicopters. The myriad movements inspired by punk survived largely by becoming institutions. These days, resistance has been relegated to a mere fashion statement. Punk is now a charming phase for white kids to go through.
So there's something bittersweet and nostalgic about watching Jack Curran's documentary 924 Gilman St.: Let's Talk About Tact and Timing, about the world-famous Berkeley punk venue, which first opened its doors in 1986. The film details the origins of the venue and its early years under the umbrella of MaximumRocknRoll magazine, featuring first-hand accounts interspersed with footage of more recent performances of bands like Ted Leo & the Pharmacists and Pansy Division, filmed by Curran and crew. That the all-ages venue is still open 22 years hence is testament to the tenacity of its volunteers, who book the bands, clean the toilets, and negotiate for its existence with the City of Berkeley. Gilman changed the punk rock world by barring bands deemed homophobic, sexist, racist, or on major labels.
Punk historians and archivists will appreciate being able to put faces to legendary punk names and voices like Op Ivy's Jesse Michaels and Fugazi's Ian MacKaye. The film, distributed by Alternative Tentacles, does a reasonable job of explaining what makes Gilman so special."- East Bay Express
"Late this August, Alternative Tentacles released a full-length film documentary on the venerable Berkeley all-ages punk institution, 924 Gilman Street. The debut from director Jack Curran, 924 Gilman St: Let's Talk about Tact and Timing features interviews with notable East Bay mainstays like Matt Freeman of Rancid and Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy, those who played the Gilman, like Ted Leo, The Offspring, Against Me!, Jello Biafra and Ian MacKaye, as well as Gilman's volunteer staff. Portions of the proceeds from the film go to benefit 924 Gilman Street.Through these interviews and clips of live footage from Fleshies, Pansy Division, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Pinhead Gunpowder (Billy Joe Armstrong's pre-Green Day gig) and Operation Ivy, Curran explores the music scene that Gilman sustained and that in turn sustained Gilman, and the sense of community that remains today at the 21-year old venue...An interview with Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy dives into the main topics of the film: how Gilman changed the punk scene and the reasons for its longevity. The film then walks the viewer through the acquisition of the space, the importance of finding a landlord that supported the venture, the brief but crucial involvement of Maximum Rocknroll under Tim Yohannon, the $40,000 worth of work that went into making a blank warehouse the Gilman that everybody knows and loves, equipped with sound and stage and those infamous graffiti-covered walls...
Key points are raised, such as how Gilman taught punk kids that it was OK to be responsible, which led to trust and the building of community, Gilman's practice of being on good terms with the surrounding neighborhood at all times, and how they had their asses covered from the beginning with their papers in order and a solid bureaucratic foundation. Also the fact that there can never be another 924 Gilman - even if people in other cities start a venue based on the same ideas, that runs the same way, it will still reflect that individual community, just as Gilman reflects the East Bay.
More than the legacy of this particular place and the East Bay music scene it helped spawn, the notion that a successful, long-lasting and productive community can be built on punk principles is perhaps the most poignant part about the film. After live footage of Against Me!, 924 Gilman Street concludes with a nod to Tim [presumably Yohannon] and a thank you to all the thousands of volunteers who have helped keep Gilman Street open for the last 20+ years."- Performer Magazine

Jason - Have you been to Mayo? What did they say?
Hi Carrie,
Welcome, although I have only recently been welcomed myself to this community. My 47 year old husband, father of three, was diagnosed with icc on Aprill22 of this year. Our oncologist immediately sent us to Mayo in Rochester . We've been there twice. Our first visit was to confirm diagnosis and second visit (this past week) was to do therasphere (targeted radiation). My husband was symptomless other than a pain in abdomen. Since our first Mayo trip and the trip this past week (3 weeks about) the tumor has become aggressive. He is distended with fluid in his abdomen (drained twice and again tomorrow) and this will continue. He was not a candidate for surgery. . He has lost a lot of muscle tone and is so very tired.
So we are living with this, one day at a time and a lot of prayer. A LOT!
Thanks, Christine
I just want to let you know you and your family are in my prayers! I hope your husband can be around a long time for you and your children. Stay strong !
Hey Carrie,
I sent you a private message!! We may be at MDA at the same time, would love to meet up with you guys!!! This is so rare and I think it would be good to be in contact with families who are going through similar experiences...here is my email firstname.lastname@example.com
What is so frustrating though, is my husband had the genetic testing and then the insurance wouldn't pay for the meds because there wasn't any proof to show it would work. we were so excited about the testing until we got to the insurance part. Just to refresh my husband is 45 w/ 8cm tumor in liver diagnosed a year ago. It's been chemo chemo chemo. No surgery yet and hoping that is what we find out in a couple of weeks but we don't have our hopes up for that just praying control. We have a 6 year old that has become a little clingy but we give extra hugs and honest reassurance. A lot of praying, nothing sweeter than a little one praying for cancer to go away
Hang on... And I agree when you do have a plan it does seem to ease some anxiety

NOAA "Rapid Refresh" Provides More Accurate Forecasts for Aviation and Severe Weather
The tornado outbreak in the central U.S. on April 7, 2006 demonstrated just how quickly weather conditions can evolve into dangerous storms. Forecasts for severe weather and aviation hazards rely on NOAA computer weather models, which are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and timely. These models are updated every hour over the United States with the latest observations from aircraft, radars, satellites, and weather balloons. The present model, referred to as Rapid Update Cycle, has been developed and improved over the last 12 years by the Forecast Systems Laboratory, now part of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory. Rapid Update Cycle is NOAA's most frequently updated numerical weather prediction model. This model is run at the National Weather Service's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) in Suitland, Maryland.
This year, weather model scientists from NOAA/ESRL and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have again joined forces to develop a new, hourly updated, operational model called Rapid Refresh that is designed to substantially improve the forecasting skill of NOAA. This model will take advantage of the collaboratively developed, state-of-the-art Weather Research and Forecast model referred to as WRF. Rapid Refresh makes use of WRF's optimal combination of numerical and physical parameterizations. The emphasis for the enhanced model is on aviation and severe weather applications in 1 to 12-hour forecasts.
NOAA and NCAR's joint Developmental Testbed Center will conduct core testing of the two models. The purpose of this testing is to compare the two dynamic/numerical techniques of the respective weather research and forecast models. The test results will provide guidance regarding which of the WRF techniques will actually be used in the Rapid Refresh. The configurations selected for these experiments will include 13-kilometer horizontal spatial resolution, cloud fields from the original Rapid Update Cycle, CONUS domain, and 30-day experiments over each of four seasons.
Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation will be based on an overall statistical verification and case study investigations. The results for turbulence, icing, ceiling/visibility and convective weather will be examined over the four seasonal periods, with two versions of physical parameterizations. NOAA agencies and aviation groups, including Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-sponsored programs, will conduct the examination primarily at NCAR.
The statistical evaluation will include verification against upper-air observations (wind, moisture, temperature), surface observations (temperature, moisture, wind), and precipitation observations. Aviation-specific performance for fields related to icing, clouds (including ceiling), turbulence and convection will also be evaluated.
Shifts in location and timing for precipitation and clouds can be critical for aviation operations and surface transportation. Examples of such shifts are shown in Figure 2, an image of a 12-hour forecast difference for surface temperature valid for February 16, 2006. In this figure, the surface cold front (indicated by the blue shading) is further south in one model than the other.
Figure 3 illustrates the accumulated precipitation over a 3-hour period and shows a more accurate location for this cold front from the Rapid Refresh.
Based on these WRF-Rapid Refresh test results, NOAA scientists will make a final recommendation on the dynamic techniques to NCEP this summer. Other partners in the final evaluation will include the following aviation-related users of the current Rapid Update Cycle: the FAA-sponsored Aviation Weather Research Program; the NCEP Aviation Weather and Storm Prediction Center, and specialization teams for turbulence, icing, ceiling/visibility, and convective weather.
Starting this fall, the full Rapid Refresh cycle with a WRF model configuration of the most appropriate dynamic technique and physical parameterizations will be tested at NOAA/ESRL for aviation and severe weather applications. Using the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation assimilation code, the testing will cover the full domain, including Alaska, Puerto Rico, and all of Canada. Rapid Refresh should replace the Rapid Update Cycle by the summer of 2008, following this and equally intensive testing at NCEP.
The WRF-Rapid Refresh technique test is a significant step, but by no means the only one necessary for this Rapid Refresh implementation. In an effort to go beyond that, NOAA scientists are combining expertise on physical processes, modeling, and data assimilation that will enhance the new model. Their experience in bridging community research efforts to NOAA's operational services will be invaluable for the Rapid Refresh implementation. Again, with this project, NOAA will outdo itself by providing more accurate and timely forecasts of the Nation's weather.

Wyo. Senator to Try to Bring Back Firing Squads
(NEWSER) – That there is a shortage of lethal injection drugs is not news, but a Wyoming senator's response to the situation is. Republican state Sen. Bruce Burns yesterday very simply pointed to state law, which commands a gas chamber to be used if those drugs aren't accessible. Except Wyoming doesn't have "an operating gas chamber," and Burns sees the construction of one as too pricey, so he would like to suggest a Plan C: death by firing squad. "I consider frankly the gas chamber to be cruel and unusual, so I went with firing squad because they also have it in Utah," said Burns, who adds that he also picked it because it's such a cheap option.

Denon AH-D7100 Music Maniac Artisan stereo headphones review
Low fatigue, high satisfaction
Former Crutchfield staff writer Woody Sherman spent years working as an editor and manager in the video industry at the national level.
More from Woody Sherman
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
|The Denon AH-D7100 Music Maniac™ Artisan Headphones make a great first impression
I could get used to luxury
Caviar. Fine Italian sports cars. Silk. Decades-old sipping whiskey.
There are a few things in this world that show their quality before you've even experienced them up close. I'd like to add the Denon AH-D7100 Music Maniac Artisan headphones to that list. Even unboxing the headphones was a luxurious experience.
The substantial box unhinges high to expose the headphones lying on a satin bed with recesses for the earcups. Hand-carved mahogany earcups support leather-clad memory foam, and the lightweight headband (also graced with leather-covered memory foam) feels solid yet unencumbering.
Two cords for two purposes
Quite a visual introduction for what is unquestionably a luxury offering from Denon. I took the shorter of the two provided cords, the one with the microphone and remote switch, and plugged in the twin cables — one for each earcup.
Individual ports for each channel's wire on the headset are a nice audiophile touch, as they encourage knowledgeable enthusiasts to build their own cables to suit their individual preferences. There's another 10-foot oxygen-free cable with a combination 1/4" plug/miniplug connector included as well.
Check out the following video to see all the features of the 'D7100s:
|Lots of handy accessories come with the Denon AH-D7100 Music Maniac headphones
It's so cozy
Having completed the connections for my listening session, I took the unit and put it on. If the act of placing headphones on your head can be considered sensual, then this was the time to use that adjective. Memory foam makes a great pillow, and its characteristic cushiony comfort makes it ideal headphone padding.
Plus, the leather covering breathes enough to keep your ears from getting hot after a lengthy listening session. In all, this was one of the most comfortable wearing experiences I've had with a pair of headphones, equaling or exceeding the comfort I've experienced with the Sennheiser HD 598s and the Grado PS1000s.
Play the music already
Enough setup. Time to ramp up some tunes. I first tried these headphones playing straight out of my iPhone®. It might seem odd to do that with headphones as well-appointed as these, but with the deliberate inclusion of such a nice mic/remote cable, they seemed to be asking for it.
So I fired up an acoustic tune to start, James Taylor's Frozen Man from the New Moon Shine album. The doubled acoustic guitar at the beginning of the song, the components of which are panned pretty hard to the right and left, created an inviting, spacious soundstage for me to dive in, so that I almost felt as if I was being enveloped in warm liquid audio. What a big acoustic space, and better yet, it felt like it was surrounding my head, not trapped inside it, always a sign of good things to come.
As the song's textural elements thickened, I could sense a few more aspects of the AH-D7100's personality. First, James Taylor's voice is very listenable, but it has a strong nasal midrange peak that can be accentuated by some audio presentations. The Denons were no exception, at fuller volumes I found the midrange peak a bit distracting, but at lower volumes, the overall response was clear and smooth, without drawing attention to itself. The bass, while not deeply extended on this track, was full, rounded and satisfying, and the high end was surprisingly smooth considering this was just a fairly compressed file playing off my iPhone.
It was early in the listening session, but already I was feeling the itch to hear how they rocked. I put on a college era anthem, Joe Walsh's Life's Been Good from 1978's But Seriously, Folks… album. Cranking it up a little, I was noticing the same slight emphasis in the midrange, so I took a moment to attach my trusty Nuforce iDo digital-to-analog converter (DAC)/headphone amp.
Immediately the overall sound became more balanced, though the vocals and other midrange sources stayed largely in the foreground. Bass was punchy and tight, with focused tonal definition. The snare had snap and the cymbals had a lively sizzle. This was perfectly appropriate for rock and roll, though, so I sat happily bobbing my head till the end of the song.
Later on, I decided to hear exactly how focused the bass was. Recordings of acoustic "stand-up" basses are perfect for the task, because any looseness in the headphones' sonic presentation will be evident. You should hear a note with a well-defined frequency, that isn't overwhelmed by the instrument's percussive characteristics.
The Bill Evans jazz tune Waltz for Debby performed by the Oscar Peterson Trio was a great choice. Virtuoso bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen is recorded very prominently on my version of this track, and he performs a tasty solo. I found the entire track giving me a feeling of intimate presence, as if I were sitting six feet away from an awesome jam session. And the bass presentation was everything I hoped it would be, right down to the snap of a fat string hitting the instrument's fingerboard with authority.
Summing up
|Hand-carved African mahogany earcups are a prime feature of the AH-D7100 Music Maniac Artisan headphones
On balance, I enjoyed these headphones more at low listening levels. That's a good thing for my older ears. It's hard to find a pair of headphones that can fully "bring it" at lower listening levels, and the AH-D7100s surely do. If your experience doesn't parallel mine and you like these headphones at fuller volumes, be aware that they don't completely seal your listening from the outside world. Sound will leak somewhat into your immediate neighborhood, and you will hear some outside noises, although it's not the wide-open broadcasting that the higher-end open-design Sennheisers do.
I enjoyed my time with the Denon AH-D7100 Music Maniac™ Artisan headphones. I must admit, my curiosity is piqued about their little brother, the Denon AH-D600 Music Maniacs now, as they share many features (except for the lovely, resonant carved mahogany earcups). The '600s are available for a comparative steal in terms of price, and I'd like to hear where the fine wood adds to the listening experience.
In addition to being sweetly cushiony on the head, these headphones give a balanced music presentation that's comprehensive and compelling without requiring hefty volume levels. If you want to do critical listening for your entire lifetime, that's more important than you think. As a person who likes his music listening in big chunks, I've found the Denon AH-D7100s deliver low-fatigue, high-satisfaction sessions with no discomfort. Can't ask for much more than that.

Arrest made in connection with stolen vehicle
January 1, 2014
A Nevada City woman was arrested early Saturday morning after reportedly being found in possession of property from a stolen vehicle.
A Nevada City Police officer saw a vehicle driving around Nevada City that reportedly pulled over at least once when the driver spotted him, said Grass Valley Police Officer Colin Nelson.
The driver eventually pulled into a gas station on the 300 block of Sacramento Street a little before 5:15 a.m. and was contacted by the officer, agreeing to a consensual search of the vehicle, Nelson said.
Grass Valley Police officers assisted in the search, which reportedly uncovered items linked to a vehicle that had been reported as stolen locally. That vehicle was recovered off Granholm Lane and the theft was linked to the driver, Jamie Diane Hannahs, 39, Nelson said.
Hannahs was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, being in possession of stolen property, possession of burglary tools and possession of a controlled substance, as well as on outstanding warrants. She was being held in Wayne Brown Correctional Facility without bail.
A passenger in the car, Heather Marie Hood, 36, was arrested for two outstanding warrants and was being held without bail.
A warrant had been issued for Hannahs' arrest in November, stemming from a February 2012 arrest after she was spotted driving a stolen vehicle. Hannahs reportedly was found by Grass Valley Police officers at a storage unit where she had been transferring items from the vehicle into storage.
She was charged with vehicle theft, being in possession of stolen property and possessing a switchblade knife and had pleaded no contest to vehicle theft.

Klug selected as interim port director
TAMPA, Fla.—The Tampa Port Authority is pleased to announce Charles Klug, the authority's deputy port director of administration and port counsel, was selected unanimously, at today's regular board meeting, to step up as interim port director/chief executive and will remain at the helm of the port authority until a permanent director is in place.
Klug, 50, has led the port's legal team since 2004, and possesses a wealth of knowledge in an array of maritime, real estate, industry and local government issues. Moreover, he has served as temporary agency head on many occasions over the last few years, when necessary. Klug will replace Richard Wainio, who has been at the helm of the port authority for the last seven-and-a-half years, guiding the port deftly through exceptionally difficult economic circumstances.
"There is truly no finer choice for interim port director as the board sees it," William "Hoe" Brown, port authority chairman, said. "Charles is a strong leader and has the skills necessary to guide the port authority and its staff, as well as continue to inform the board of important goings on, as we make our way through the process of establishing our new director who will continue the port along its path of positive growth and diversification."
The process of selecting a new port director and chief executive is well underway. Boyden Global Executive Search, the firm selected by the port board at its July meeting, is recruiting candidates for the position. The selection committee, announced at today's board meeting will play a key role in vetting the candidates. No schedule has been set at this time for any meetings of the search committee. The committee consists of the following distinguished persons: William "Hoe" Brown, chairman, Tampa Port Authority; Vincent M. Dolan, president/CEO, Progress Energy Florida; Gordon L. Gillette, president of Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas; Arthur R. Savage; president/CEO, A.R. Savage & Son; and William E. Starkey, former president of GTE Florida.
Once narrowed to a short list of candidates by the selection committee, board members will meet individually with the candidates. After the one-on-one meetings, there will be a public meeting, wherein the collective port board will have the opportunity to interface with candidates before final selection is made and a new port director/chief executive is chosen. The search firm expects the process to be completed and a new director for the state's largest port to be in place by the end of the year.
One of the nation's largest and most cargo-diverse seaports, a major cruise home port, and shipbuilding/repair center, the Port of Tampa is the largest economic engine in west-central Florida, generating nearly 100,000 jobs and $8 billion in annual economic impact.

Anne of Russia, who was an Empress of Russia, Alexandre Dumas is our 12th cousin, 5 times removed."Now this is just from my Grandma's Father's side of the family. We are probably related to some much more amazing people and we will figure it out, eventually." Are you thinking, "what a strange and diverse group of relatives"? I didn't give this message too much thought at the time. I probably said something along the lines of "That's so neat, Mom! Several First Ladies?" and thought little more of it. That is, until I joined Family Tree Magazine as its 2010 summer intern. My name is Lindsay Sena and even though I started this internship a month ago, I'm still just beginning to learn the ins-and-outs of genealogy research. I may be fresh out of college, but I realize that it would be nonsensical to pass up the amazing resources at FTM (read: it will be years until I can afford my own subscription to Ancestry.com). So last week I finally sat down and began filling out a five-generation chart. Luckily, my mom offered me information that went far beyond five-generations—including one line that a cousin traced all the way back to the 16th century (I hope to verify this—you may see why I have developed a skepticism of this information). Because my family tree was overflowing, I transferred the data to a tree on MyHeritage.com and have been regularly updating and revising. It is a privilege to be working at Family Tree Magazine. I understand now why people are so passionate about genealogy; it's the thrill of unraveling the mystery, which is your unique heritage. I've already uncovered some pretty juicy stuff, and I plan to blog at least once a week with my progress. So, Genealogy Insider readers, as I embark on this genealogy journey, please offer me any suggestions and advice—I can use all of the help I can get!

Win streak reaches 12 as Tornados hold off Saints, 9-8April 16, 2012
Haithcox picks up fourth win of the season against Limestone
Brevard, N.C. - Eric Renegar scored the go-ahead run and Tarron Robinson added an RBI single in the bottom of the eight as the Tornados held off visiting Limestone on Monday afternoon to extend their season high 12 game winning streak as Brevard topped the Saints 9-8 at Gil Coan Field.
Dustin Haithcox picked up his team-leading fourth win of the season on the mound, throwing 1.2 innings of relief for Brevard (27-20), while Cameron Culp (0-1) suffered the loss for Limestone (14-30) as the Tornados avenged a 6-1 defeat to the Saints earlier this season.
Limestone plated the first run of the contest, scoring in the top of the first off BC starter Joseph Lepore. Michael Hughey led off the inning with a single through the left side, advancing to third on back-to-back groundouts. Chad Balderman brought him in with a single down the left field line, but was thrown out trying to take second to end the inning.
Brevard rallied back in the bottom of the first, sending 10 hitters to the plate in the inning against Limestone starter Matt Crisp, scoring six runs to take the early lead. Christian Christopoulos and Kramer Clark provided the majority of the damage in the frame with each hitter recording two-run singles in the frame. Cody Queen brought in the first run of the inning, getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, while Bennett Hixson scored the final run with a groundout as the Tornados went ahead early.
Limestone cut into the lead in the top of the fifth, scoring two runs to halve the score. KJ McAllister opened the scoring, coming across on a passed ball, while Jake Rierson singled in Hughey to put the score 6-3 midway through the ball game.
Brevard answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning as the Tornados took advantage of a Limestone fielding miscue to add to their lead. Queen reached on a throwing error to open the frame, coming around to score on Zach Merriken's two-out double down the left field line to put the score at 7-3.
The Saints rallied back in the top of the eighth, evening the score as Limestone batted around in the frame against BC relievers Zach Huneycutt and Haithcox. McAllister brought in the first two runs of the inning, doubling off the fence in left field to score Al Benson and Stephen Crowe with one out in the inning. Michael Hughey followed with a triple down the left field line to put Limestone within one. Rierson followed with a single through the left side of the infield, evening the game, before Haithcox retired the side to end the inning.
Renegar opened the bottom half of the inning with a single up the middle, taking second base on a Limestone bobble of the play. After an infield popup, Chad Funkhouser drew a walk, giving the Tornados runners on first and second. Renegar and Funkhouser attempted the double steal on the second pitch of the next at-bat, and the Limestone catcher's throw to third base skipped down the left field line, scoring Renegar from third to put Brevard back on top. Robinson followed with a single down the right field line scoring Funkhouser to give the Tornados an insurance run before the end of the inning.
Given a two-run lead, Haithcox came back out on the mound to attempt to close out the game. The Saints made it interesting as McAllister drove in Josh Wood on a fielder's choice to give Limestone a runner on first with two outs, but Haithcox retired Hughey on a 2-2 slider to end the contest and keep the Tornados winning streak alive.
Clark and Merriken led the Brevard offensive efforts in the game with two hits apiece, while Clark and Christopoulos added two RBIs in the game. Lepore went four innings in his final start of the 2012 regular season, allowing five hits and three runs, while Brennan Daniels pitched two scoreless innings in relief.
Benson and Hughey led the Saints with three hits apiece, while McAllister added three RBIs. Hughey also scored three runs in the game to pace the Limestone offense. Jeremy Reed pitched 5.2 innings of one-hit relief for Limestone in the game, allowing an unearned run in earning no decision.
Brevard returns to the road for their regular season finale tomorrow afternoon as the Tornados travel to Tigerville, S.C. to take on North Greenville University. First pitch at Ashmore Field is set for 2 p.m. between the Tornados and the Crusaders.

I think you've gotten the meaning of soft rejection wrong. Just because it needs improvements, it doesn't mean it's hard rejected.
If it needs significant improvements, it will be hard rejected.
I've recently been soft rejected based on visual hierarchy.

Dakine killed it with this bag. It's super lightweight, but it can hold 3 liters of water. There's a mesh net that keeps the bag itself a few inches off your back , which is quite nice. I'm a big fan of the magnetic hose clip, which keeps the mouth piece accessible . More pockets than you'll know what to do with.. The item description only talks about biking with this bag, but it's definitely versatile. I love it for day hikes, and quick peak ascents. Overall, just a killer bag !

The purpose of this Handbook is to inform the College community in a concise user-friendly manner about the rules and regulations pertaining to the safe use of ionizing radiation. It is important that all persons who work in radiation-handling laboratories adhere to these procedures so as to ensure that safe working are present. Safety comes from a partnership of knowledge and trust between the users and the regulators. The Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) looks forward to working with radiation handlers to ensure safe working conditions so that the College's research and educational mission can be met.
The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) has supplements to this Handbook for use by the college community. They contain detailed information and helpful hints on the following subjects;
The procedures listed in this Handbook are required by law. Failure to follow any procedures is considered a violation, which must be corrected in a time commensurate with the severity of the violation. Failure to correct the violation, or repeat violations, may lead to suspension of radiation handling privileges and the possible loss of the College's license to use radioactive materials.

Airbus' line of corporate jets has marked a new evolution with today's introduction of updated branding, colours and nomenclature for these aircraft – which offer unmatched comfort, space and cabin flexibility.
Announced in advance of this week's Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland, the branding "refresh" provides a uniform new-generation aesthetic for the company's business and VIP jets, and reinforces high commonality with the modern Airbus airliners on which each are based.
The new branding is reflected by the updated naming system employed for Airbus corporate jets, with "Airbus ACJ" now preceding the model it is derived from. For example, a 21st century flagship A380 ordered for corporate, VIP or government transport will carry the "Airbus ACJ380" designation.
Due to their strong ties with the world's most modern airliner family, Airbus business aircraft continue to deliver all of the benefits modern technology has to offer – including fuel-saving aerodynamics, the use of innovative weight-saving materials and centralised maintenance.
Beyond the new designations, Airbus corporate aircraft also will stand out from the crowd with a fresh design and colour scheme – highlighted by metallic-blue shading on a majority of an aircraft's fuselage and tail sections, and pulled together with distinctive flowing curves and an all-new "Airbus Corporate Jets" logo.
Airbus corporate jets are increasingly becoming the preferred choice of companies, individuals and governments, with more than 170 sold worldwide – comprising more than 110 ACJ318s, ACJ319s and ACJ320s, along with approximately 60 VIP and government widebodies. Aircraft currently in service are operation around the world and on every continent, including Antarctica.
This global success will be a focal point of Airbus' high-profile presence at the three-day EBACE 2011 industry event, which begins on May 17.

Bruce Jenner debuts dramatic new look
(Yahoo!) - The bandages are gone and Bruce Jenner is revealing a new look, complete with a flowing mane that would make Fabio jealous.
Reports have been circulating for months that the former Olympian intended to have a "laryngeal shave," which is surgery to flatten his Adam's apple. In late January, pictures surfaced of Jenner, 64, leaving the Beverly Hills Surgical Center with a bandage around his neck. He declined to address the speculation.
On Monday, the rebooted Bruce was spotted filming scenes for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" in Thousand Oaks, California, and there was no denying the dramatic makeover.
While declining to address the purported neck surgery, his estranged wife, Kris, 58, did recently slam rumors that Bruce was undergoing a sex change.
"Ninety-nine percent of the stuff in the media, in the tabloids is made up," Kris told "Entertainment Tonight" last month. "The bottom line is we sell magazines."
In the past, Bruce has not been shy about discussing surgical procedures. In 2009, Jenner went under the knife to correct cosmetic surgery — a nose job and partial facelift — he had in 1984 and documented the experience on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
"If you Google my name, the worst plastic surgeries of all time, or whatever it is … they've compared me to Michael Jackson," Bruce said on camera, noting that he had work done because he "was just going through a bad time."
He continued, "I had just gone through my second divorce, lost a lot of money. I was in a little dinky house."

Using a mobile phone in pregnancy
Nowadays, everyone I know uses a mobile phone - and for many people this is for a significant proportion of the day. However, sometimes I worry about using it around my toddler (especially as he is so interested in it!) and also the baby growing inside me.
I came across this article which discusses research into using a mobile phone during pregnancy. The research was carried out on a large study group (13,000 mums) but it was in the 1990s before everyone owned a mobile phone. It concludes that mums who used a mobile phone 3 times a day or more were more likely to have a child with behavioural problems. There is no scientific reason known why this would be the case.
Frankly, this surprises me. I wonder if the evidence was gathered just from the mums report (of behavioural problems). I can see why using a mobile phone excessively (to the exclusion of giving your child attention) could cause behavioural problems but not just a few times a day.
What are your opinions on using mobile phone around children and in pregnancy?

The article certainly brings up interesting information. I do not use the cell phone much, less than three times a day on average, but as you have stated the majority of my peers are on it all the time. I remember when they first came on the market that there were a lot of concerns regarding brain cancer, etc and then it just seemed to die out.
I am not sure what I think of this yet, but it is definitely thought provoking. I certainly do not let my children use the cell phone, which, from this study, seems to be the most significant factor in behavioral issues. I would love to see more studies on this, using modern cell phones and technology. Of course, now it would be hard to find many people with children who do not use the cell phone at least three times a day =/

Interesting, I'm wondering if the behavioral issues had more to do with the time and attention that was taken away from the children because their mum was on phone or it had to do with the radiation exposure.
I have read that it is important to keep your phone away from your body as much as possible when you're using it, which can cut down on exposure to radiation as well. With all the smart phones, tablets, iPads and the like it will be interesting to see what they will discover about what all this wonderful technology is doing to us -- if anything.

Morse, Giron Recalled
In the first recall election in state history, State Senate President John Morse (D-District 11) and State Senator Angela Giron (D-District 3) have been recalled.
Citizens that were apposed to the legistlators' support of state gun control legislation put the recall election petition on the ballot. Both legislators voted in favor of 15-round limits on ammunition magazines and for expanded background checks on private gun sales. The measures passed the Democrat-controlled legislature and was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper (D).
Unofficial El Paso County election results show 51% of El Paso County voters were in favor of recalling Morse, with all precincts reporting. Unofficial Pueblo County election results show 56% of Pueblo County voters were in favor of the recall, with 100% of precincts reporting.
Morse conceded early Tuesday night. He believe the recall victory is only "symbolic," reminding the crowd that despite the loss of two seats, Democrats still have control of the Colorado state legislature.
Colorado Springs councilman Bernie Herpin will be take over Morse's seat. Republican George Rivera will take over for Giron.

Oregon City teen found
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office has located the missing runaway Samantha Dodson in good condition. She was located shortly after Saturday afternoon in a wooded area just outside of Oregon City. Kelsey McCune was also located and taken into custody. Both were together when contacted and taken into custody without incident.
Kelsey McCune was taken into custody on a warrant. Detectives are currently interviewing Kelsey McCune.
A tip from a citizen who spotted two people matching the description on the flyer leads Deputies to the location. The citizen reported seeing the two in a wooded park area at the north end of the Country Village Mobile Home Park. Containment was set up and the area was searched by the Clackamas County SWAT Team. The SWAT Team was used due to the size of the area to search and need to quickly cover the area.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office would like to thank all of the citizens who called in with tips.

Wind power is the electricity sector's equivalent of ethanol -- the hype has lost all connection with reality. Last month, a coalition of renewable energy boosters, the American Council on Renewable Energy, released a report claiming that it is "technically feasible to increase wind capacity to supply 20 percent of this nation's electricity by 2030."Â The group also claims that the U.S. could have some 340 gigawatts of installed wind-generation capacity by that time -- or about one-third as much of the country's electric generating capacity now in place.
But during the council's telephone press conference trumpeting the new projections, this reporter asked a question: how many kilowatt-hours does the group expect all of those windmills to generate? The answer: they hadn't done any estimates and are "going to continue"Â working on it. They might have estimates of actual output in 2008.
It was a telling response. It's "technically feasible"Â that we could send all of the residents of Wyoming to live on the moon. But we haven't done that because it costs too much. And yes, it's technically feasible to install 340 gigawatts of wind turbines, but if only a small fraction of them are producing electricity, what's the point?
Wind-power advocates are selling America a false promise. The promise is that wind power will play a large role in America's overall electricity supply. That's just not true.
On average, windmills only generate power about one-third of the time. Thus, a 300-megawatt wind installation will only actually generate about 100 megawatts of power on a given day. And since there are no viable ways to store large amounts of electricity, the intermittent nature of wind power means that any region using it will always require fossil-fuel power plants to supply base-load power. And keeping that base-load power in place, and ready to turn on (or off), depending on the vagaries of the wind, is an awfully expensive exercise. In fact, it means that wind turbines won't actually displace any existing electric generating capacity, just add to it.
The stochasticity of wind-power generation can be seen by looking at July 2006. During that month, wind turbines in California produced power at only about 10 percent of their capacity; in Texas, one of the most promising states for wind energy, the windmills hit about 17 percent. Studies in Europe have shown similar results. In Britain, a recent study found that between October 2006 and February 2007, there were 17 days when the output from the country's windmills was less than 10 percent of their rated capacity and 5 days when output was less than 5 percent. The Europeans are also questioning the high cost of wind power, particularly when it comes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. A 2005 study done by Britain's National Audit Office said wind energy was the most expensive way to cut carbon dioxide emissions in Britain, putting the cost at up to £140 (about $278) per ton of avoided carbon.
Even more offensive is that wind advocates purposely conflate the issues of energy independence and wind power. One page of the American Council on Renewable Energy's report shows a lovely picture of several wind turbines set in front of verdant hills. Beneath it is a photo of a solar panel array set against an azure sky. Immediately adjacent to the photos, in a block of text headlined "National Security†the group declares that a "reduction of imported energy provides a more secure future….If we can tap the potential of our domestic renewable energy resources, we can make real progress towards achieving true energy independence.â€Â
Wind power won't do anything to displace imported oil and refined petroleum products because the American automotive fleet runs on liquid fuels – not on electricity.
None of this means that wind power should not be pursued or that wind energy is bad. Rather, the point is that wind cannot displace significant amounts of fossil fuels at any time in the foreseeable future. As Richard Smalley, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, explained shortly before he died in 2005, "wind will be a player†in the world's future energy mix. "But it's not going to be big enough, not ever going to be big enough.â€Â

hi every 1,
i am running backtrack 2 final, using virtual box but if add an user, logout and log back in again...the user that i made earlier isn't there any more.This is really really doing my headin because i cun't user the irc client cause i am root.
I am guessing that it has something to do with mounting the ISO image to the hard drive or installing it to the harddrive via virtual box... something like that i am not sure but i might be wrong.Another thing is that i have to configure all the the tools that i commonly use (not that i know how to use them, still learning) every time i log back in....
an example of the type of problem that i am having:-
you know when you run an OS from a live cd and you cannot install or configure anything because you r running it from a cd....its a bit like that.but in my case i am using an iso image that i d-loaded from the "remote-exploit" site in virtual box.
ok i explained my problem as best as i can.
any help will be greatly appricieted

Manilla's Olson mindful of roots as honors roll
A Buffett confidant, top Los Angeles lawyer represents Google, tackles big causes
By DOUGLAS BURNS
, Staff Writer
Ron Olson
The Olson File
Born in Carroll.
Raised in Manilla.
Graduated from Manilla High School in 1959.
Parents, Clyde "Blue" and Delpha (Boyens) Olson, were living in Aspinwall at the time of his birth. Father was a successful general broker and insurance salesman. Mother worked as a teacher, starting in the Great Depression, during which time she cut wood to heat the school.
Friend and business associate of Warren Buffett. "I could go on for pages about Ron - all very favorable - but there is a lot going on here so I will keep it short," Buffett wrote in an e-mail to the Daily Times Herald. "Ron is a great friend and a great adviser. My wife and I made him a trustee under our will. That's about as good an endorsement as anyone could have."
Close friend of the late Kenneth Macke of Carroll, the former CEO of Target Corp. retailer.
Excelled at Drake University in Des Moines where he was involved with student government and debate and played halfback on the football team.
Graduated from University of Michigan Law School.
Earned a Ford Foundation fellowship. Studying in Oxford, England, in 1967, Olson started a lifelong friendship with former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., a candidate for the presidency in 2000.
American Lawyer featured the father-son tandem of Ron Olson and Steven Olson among its "paternal powerhouses" along with such notable figures as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and his son Eugene, and former Secretary of State James Baker III and his son.
Olson and his wife, Jane (Tenhulzen) of Denison, have three children.
Helped the founders of Google take the business public.
Represented the Republic of the Philippines against the family of deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, who left with a treasure trove of cash and other riches when they sought exile in Hawaii. Olson helped trace the Marcoses' ill-gotten gains.
Represented the Yahoo! Inc. board of directors.
Represented Paramount.
Represented Spanish-language television Goliath Univision.
Battled in the courts for some of the men who shaped television and film - such as Norman Lear, the trailblazing creator of "All in the Family," featuring the iconic Archie Bunker.
The Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles is naming its new building in honor of Olson.
Owns a farm between Audubon and Kimballton.
May 2, 2014
Ron Olson, a Carroll-born and Manilla-raised named partner with a Los Angeles firm that has collected a string of honors from American Lawyer magazine, wanted to talk about Nile Kinnick, the Heisman Trophy-winning Hawkeye whose life ended during World War II service.
Olson is a man very much in the Great American Now. He serves on the board of Berkshire Hathway and plans to be with his close friend Warren Buffett during the annual shareholders' meeting this weekend in Omaha, Neb. Olson represented Google during the hurly-burly days of the Internet Goliath's initial public offering.
His client list reaches deep into the A-list of Hollywood shot-callers. Film industry titan Barry Diller made the Google connection for Olson, a 1959 Manilla High School alum.
Hollywood and high finance could come later, though. Talk in an hour-long phone interview with the Daily Times Herald -interrupted briefly by a call to Olson from Buffett - quickly turned to Kinnick, the grandson of a former Iowa governor who died June 2, 1943, at age 24, piloting a Navy plane on a training exercise in Venezuela.
Could Kinnick have been president? Olson thinks so.
Olson has eight grandsons. One of them, Graham Olson, 13, of Pasadena, Calif., completed a project in the second grade on a state and selected Iowa - out of love for his grandfather and grandmother Jane (Tenhulzen) Olson, a native of Denison
"From that day forward that kid is an absolute Iowa nut," Ron Olson said. "I have been taking him back each fall for several years now for one of the Iowa football games."
Olson recalled driving from Des Moines to Iowa City when Graham looked at his grandfather and said, "You know, daddo, Iowa has so much to be proud of."
"It just warms my heart. And this kid is dead set on going to the University of Iowa," Olson said. "He knows everything about the sports teams, particularly football. He knows who they're recruiting. I get a big kick. This is a kid who spent his whole life growing up in Los Angeles and could care less about what's going on out here. It's all Iowa, all the time."
Olson gave Graham a signed letter from Nile Kinnick and copies of his speech in acceptance of the Heisman, which recognizes the country's most-outstanding college football player.
"He is so darned proud to stand up for Iowa and it amazes me," Olson said.
Major awards for Olson
Olson, 72, is a primary lawyer in a firm - Munger, Tolles & Olson - that the American Lawyer magazine has named No. 1 in the nation four times. It's the only non New York City firm to hold the top spot.
What's more, Olson recently earned the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Lawyer, a publication he described as a "credible and substantial" entity in the legal profession.
"Undoubtedly, a lot of things go into it," Olson said. "If you did the weighing in a different way you'd probably end up with some other firms up there with us. It is something to take pride in."
The award takes into account not just professional achievements, but pro-bono activities and how firms treat employees.
Olson spotlights the diversity of people and thought as crucial in the firm's success.
"That's something that frankly attracted me from Day 1," Olson said.
When he first entered the profession, Olson chose not to go to certain corporate firms because he believed they were too homogeneous.
"I wanted to get into an environment where my thinking was challenged," Olson said. "And from that, I hoped, from time to time, I would learn something I wouldn't otherwise learn."
The firm has a broad spectrum of attorneys and staff with political leanings ranging from the conservative to the liberal "and everything in between," Olson said.
"We've got a wide range of not just racial diversity, but gender diversity," Olson said. "It's a very open environment for what we hope is the most-creative kind of lawyering, and along the way, an environment that stimulates broader learning and life experiences."
The Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles is undertaking the building of a new building to support legal needs of the most needy in southern California. The Foundation asked whether it could name the building after Olson - and he agreed.
Olson started representing Google's founders -Sergey Brin and Larry Page - when they were taking the business to the stock market.
"They were young, smart as can be, and determined to not only drive their vision for the company, but to do good along the way," Olson said.
Brin and Page worked with Olson on carrying out the vision for the company long-term. They wanted their future-minded innovations to have percolation time, to be protected from quarter-by-quarter tests from anxious shareholders and analysts if they went public.
Olson created a capital structure for Google that consisted of two stocks, one a super-voting stock, and one that would be sold to the public.
"That was designed in order to enable them to take the long-term view of the development of their company and not have to worry about sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into things like the development of Android, which took place over a number of years, and worry about some investor group challenging their capital investments," Olson said.
When Google purchased YouTube, there were challenges from some financial analysts, Olson said.
"At the time, people questioned what they were doing," Olson said. "Of course, today, it's been a huge, huge success."
Olson said Brin and Page are fascinating people.
"They're making a difference that I think is pretty extraordinary and I have a lot of fun being around them," Olson said.
He recalled his earliest days representing Google.
"I'm about as far away from techie as one can be," Olson said. "I'd have a challenge just signing in to get into the Google offices on their little computer system as you enter the place. I'd get in there and I'd see all these kids just being so creative. One would be at the black board and five or six of them would be firing ideas at each other."
Also on the high-profile technology front, Olson has gotten to know Evan Spiegel, the founder of snapchat, a photo-sharing application.
"You probably read about him when he turned down a $3 billion bid for his company by Facebook," Olson said.
Olson said Spiegel is a determined, creative person.
"People like that, if you have a chance to relate to, keep you young, keep you thinking," Olson said.
The Iowa farm
Olson owns a farm between Audubon and Kimballton, where corn and soybeans grow and cattle are raised. He returns for planting and fall hunting and on some other occasions.
Olson's parents, Clyde "Blue" and Delpha (Boyens) Olson, were living in Aspinwall at the time of his birth, but he grew up in Manilla. His father was a successful general broker and insurance salesman.
"My father had an especially strong presence in Manning, selling insurance to most of the major farm-to-market truckers and used Herb Kuel's tavern as a place for receiving messages from farmers who wanted to see him," Olson said.
Delpha Olson worked as a teacher, starting in the Great Depression, during which time she cut wood to heat the school and scooped sidewalks. She grew up on a farm east of Irwin.
Olson remains, at heart, very much the son of Iowa farm country.
"I get great joy out of talking to my tenant on a regular basis," Olson said. "This last week I had a great conversation about selling our fall calves. Unbelievable prices for those. It's a way for me to stay in touch with what I still call my home base."
A member of the board of directors for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Olson drives different routes across Iowa to Rochester. His family enjoys seeing the countryside.
"My sense is the country is on the upswing," Olson said. "We see that in our wide range of Berkshire businesses. We see the comeback in some of the businesses that were slowed down significantly in that 2008, 2009 period. Businesses that related in one way or another to home-building have started to come back. Of course, other areas have continued to excel, such as our insurance businesses and, right there in Iowa, MidAmerican has been fantastic."
Olson said the fundamentals of the Iowa economy give it a major advantage moving forward.
"You've seen what increasing needs are evolving in China and elsewhere around the world for the kind of agricultural commodities that Iowa is a leader in," Olson said.
Olson said he sees tremendous civic pride in Des Moines. The same goes for rural Iowa, he said.
"The farms look prosperous," Olson said. "It's amazing to me how very, very few dilapidated building sites remain. People are taking care of their properties, which suggests not just pride, but the economics are such that they can. So I think there are a lot of good things going on in Iowa."
Born in Carroll
Olson is by birth certificate a native of Carroll -having come into the world in the caring confines of St. Anthony Regional Hospital.
"I have always been proud of that," Olson said.
Olson recalled childhood Easters when his parents would take the family to Carroll to "get something special." A sport coat maybe.
"Carroll has always been a part of my life," he said.
Olson was a close, lifelong friend of the late Kenneth Macke, the former Target retail corporation CEO from Carroll.
At Drake University, Olson was involved with student government and debate and the football team. Olson recalled the old-school practices of the 1950s in which two players competing for a starting job would be thrown into a pit, with the one emerging to get the spot.
"That was pretty tough going," said Olson, who played halfback.
He remembers a strategy the two Drake friends - himself and Macke - employed to surreptitiously hydrate themselves at practice as coaches wouldn't let players drink water in an effort to toughen them. Olson and Macke would bury lemons in the field the night before, dig them out when coaches weren't looking the next day and chomp on the fruit for the fluids.
"He's still a big part of my life," Olson said of Macke. "He and I were very close. And I think of him often and have his picture about at various places to help me reflect on how meaningful he was to me."
Olson remembers dropping off Macke in Templeton, where Macke's grandparents lived, on Olson's way home to Manilla from Des Moines.
"The whole connection to Templeton has remained and thrived since then," Olson said.
Olson said he is in regular contact with Templeton Rye Spirits co-founder Keith Kerkhoff.
"There are a lot of things that keep me hooked in to that environment, and I'm always proud to go around and tell the Templeton Rye story when I happen to be in a restaurant and I want to test their inventory," Olson said.
Fighting for veterans
Olson said Munger, Tolles & Olson has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of mentally impaired, homeless veterans.
"I feel very committed to their cause," Olson said. "I hope the rest of the country begins to take notice and see what these kids need. The president has a way of putting it. It's not right to send these young men and women abroad to fight for their country and then have to come home and fight for a roof over their head. I just wish the VA (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) would do more to implement that."
Olson said there are more homeless veterans in Los Angeles than most places in the United States.
"The mentally impaired are too often basically on skid row, self-medicating with drugs, alcohol, etc.," Olson said.
A family gave prime real estate in Los Angeles to the U.S. government in 1882 to create a veterans home in the West. The land has not been used for veterans, so Olson is seeking a remedy in the courts. And he sees urgency in the cause.
Veterans coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are having major concerns, Olson said
"It's an issue that needs attention across the country," Olson said.
Standing for amateur athletics
Munger Tolles & Olson is defending the NCAA in lawsuits being brought by college players seeking to be paid with class-action lawsuits.
"The outcome, I think, will impact Iowa as well every place else in the United States," Olson said.
Olson said it is important to maintain amateur sports - in spite of what can at times seem like a public groundswell against the tradition.
"I just think it would be a tremendous loss to see our universities professionalized and these kids become employees and start getting agents as they're a junior or senior in high school, and people dueling over them, not by selling the quality of their universities, but by how much money they're going to pay them," Olson said.
Olson said it makes no sense to have a "mini" NFL or NBA operating on the nation's college campuses.
"If this changes, it's going to change our entire structure for the support of a broad range of athletes and participants," Olson said.
Community journalism
Olson is a strong backer of Berkshire Hathaway's continued investments in American newspapers. Olson said the traditional model of newspapers remains viable.
"You're only, I think, right to have confidence if you are in a position to supply something that people need and want and they can't get elsewhere," Olson said. "That, I think, is what explains the interest we at Berkshire have had in the newspapers that we've acquired. Communities that aren't served by the big print or the big Internet facilities still have a desire to know what's going on in their communities."
Retail establishments find that interest worth supporting with their advertising, he said.
"So long as there is that kind of need, I don't see any reason why it cannot be sustained for a good long time," Olson said.
Local reporting is becoming more vital, he said.
"I think you see that throughout the country," Olson said. "The kinds of communities you are serving will have a long and fruitful period before anything erodes that economic base. So to me, that's very worthy."
Olson serves on the board of the non-profit ProPublica, which is involved in sustaining investigative reporters.
"The reporters we've hired have been some of the best that have been at the L.A. Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and so on and so on," Olson said. "And we're giving them the opportunity, the time and the money, to do real extensive investigative reporting. Then the reports get presented by a wide range of other distributors, other newspapers, radio, television. We just distribute the work in a number of different platforms."
Ever the Iowa boy
Olson said he has affection for Iowa and a lot of people in the state.
"I think it's in part because I had a childhood that was not just happy but meaningful," Olson said. "I learned from everybody I associated with, and I feel like whatever I have become today is in large part attributed to those who helped me get started, from not just the teachers and the coaches and so on - a lot of the just plain-old, hard-working folk who you would get to know and appreciate."
He added, "Many, many people filled my life, and it will never leave me."

I'm using backtrack5 r3 for a couple of days and I'm kind a noob in linux. So the question might be dumb, but I'd prefer to a ask than having problem later. I was looking for an answer but neither on google nor here I couldn't find it.
So, I installed x86 version but I need x64 for some tools. I don't want to change partitions or anything like that, just setup new system. I have Windows 7 dualboot.
All I have to do is just to boot Backtrack x64 from eg. usb stick and install like a new operating system or the whole think is a bit more complex? I assume that "repairing" old Backtrack is not an option? Or do I have to deinstall old Backtrack, wipe partitions and do everything from fresh?
BTW. Your captcha is the worst I've ever seen :D

-am I at a disadvantage if I don't use PED's-
Yes, you are. Its obvious, that your body cant produce so much energy and power to beat your goals, and its getting tired by the time, so it needs "extra"help. As my coach said- Best PED is fitness, run 5 miles every day and you will have enough power to stand 15 mins intensive round.
Personally, Im using bodybuilders stuff as- BCAA(muscules&streingth), Whey protein, Anabolic Nitro X and L-Glutaminne


text: Hamsa is superstitious defense against the evil eye. the renewed interest in Kabbalah and mystical Judaism is a factoring in bringing the hamsa pendant back into vogue.The hamsa is very popular as a charm and can be found as a decorative element in houses, on key chains, on Necklace or any jewelery items. Many special artists from Israel use the image of the hamsa hand in their art and we bring you the most special ones.

As far as I see it, if you boot winblows or you write a file, you will leave fingerprints.
As an alternative, you can download Konboot and boot from it. It will hack the system login to accept any password you type in. It works with both XP/Vista, not yet Seven. Then, review/clear logs and restore the original SAM.
You can, of course, boot linux (or Clonezilla) from RAM, clone the disk (dd command will do the job), play with it, and then restore de byte copy if you are really into it.
By the way, did you test the last script from the other thread?
