Obama Promised (Again) That He'd Close Gitmo. So Can He?Karen Greenberg in Mother Jones, November 13, 2012
Media Source
The memory of Barack Obama's 2008 promise to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay now makes human rights activists roll their eyes. But last month, with comedian Jon Stewart as witness, the president repeated the same vow. Should Americans believe him?
Probably not, says Charles Stimson, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs under George W. Bush.
"I think that Obama's comment was part political and part aspirational," Stimson says. "He won't spend any political capital in his second term trying to close the prison, unless unique circumstances appear."
Robert Chesney, a law professor at the University of Texas-Austin who served on an Obama administration task force charged with evaluating detention policy, says that Obama's intentions are genuine, but the GOP-controlled House and Democrat-led Senate pose too great an obstacle.
"I certainly don't think it's going to happen, because Congress is cabining him in," he says. "This isn't the policy he wants, but it's the policy he's stuck with."
Obama's failure to close Gitmo has been criticized by progressives and conservatives alike (remember Clint Eastwood and the chair?), but his failure is really his inability to overcome the bipartisan intransigence on the Hill. In 2009, Obama tried to move Guantanamo prisoners to the Thomson Correctional Center in Illinois before he was stonewalled by the House Armed Services Committee, which had a Democratic chairman at the time. Congress also passed a law that stopped the Obama administration from holding trials for Guantanamo prisoners in the United States by clamping down on the transfer of prisoners.
Not everyone thinks Obama's latest Gitmo promise is empty. Ken Gude, chief of staff and vice president at the Center for American Progress, says that while "it's very unlikely that we'll see major changes in Congress's outlook on closing Guantanamo in 2013," he is optimistic that Obama will be able to overcome past obstacles and close the prison later in his second term.
Gude says that after the United States reaches several milestones signaling the end of the War on Terror—pulling the last troops out of Afghanistan and finishing the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 co-conspirators, for example—the American public might be more open to closing the prison.
"I think we're going to have to ask ourselves in 2015-2016 if this is something we still want in 2050. And it's going to seem ridiculous," Gude says. "Hopefully the American public will see that moving prisoners to the US is a necessary step if we want to move on."
Chesney isn't confident the public will have a change of heart. "I think that would be very unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future," he argues. "And it's inconceivable that ending the war in Afghanistan would make [the American public] okay with moving prisoners to the US."
Experts from both sides of the aisle do agree that when Obama talks about closing Guantanamo, he's not talking about ending the practice of indefinitely detaining terrorist suspects without trial. Instead, he's talking about what to do with the prisoners already in US custody, whose future is uncertain.
"Obama has embraced indefinite detention since 2009 and has never backed away from it," says Karen Greenberg, who is the director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, and is the author of The Least Worst Place: Guantanamo's First 100 Days. "He's never clearly made that break from George W. Bush."
Stimson thinks the president doesn't want to limit his options. "No president in his right mind is going to constrain his ability to detain somebody," he says.
That means even if Obama does manage to close Guantanamo, the sticky issue of indefinite detention will remain, and civil liberties activists won't be satisfied. "There's no such thing as closing Guantanamo if you move the prisoners to Illinois or somewhere else on earth, and keep indefinite detention," Greenberg says.
For the time being, major changes in how terrorism suspects are treated are most likely to come from the courts. Last month, a federal appeals court dealt a huge blow to military commissions when it overturned the 2008 military commission conviction of Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's former driver. That ruling suggests that future courts could throw out other charges against other Gitmo detainees. But no US court seems poised to strike down indefinite detention itself anytime soon.
Whatever Obama's plan for shutting down Guantanamo, the detainees still apparently preferred Obama to Mitt Romney—at least according to a spokeswoman for the detention facility. None of the detainees cheered when Obama was announced as the winner the presidential election, but "the overall mood was of happiness," Army Capt. Jennifer Palmeri, a Guantanamo detention center spokeswoman, told the Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg last week.

CNN's Velshi reported Dow reached "a new record," but did not account for inflation
On the October 19 edition of CNN Newsroom, business news anchor Ali Velshi [1] reported that the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been setting "record after record after record," and that by closing [2] at 12,011.73 on October 19, the Dow had reached "a new record. ... The first time ever [closing] over 12,000." But when adjusted for inflation, the Dow is well below its peak set in January 2000, as Media Matters for America has noted [3]. As The New York Times reported [4] on October 3: "By some measures, the Dow still has some ways to go before it can be said to have reclaimed its previous heights. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the average would have to reach 14,104.97 points for it to match its January 2000 peak."
From a chart produced by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities [5]:
From the October 19 edition of CNN Newsroom:
VELSHI: Let's take a quick look at this Dow and see how it's doing. Here's an interesting situation. We are above 12,000. That would make it the first time ever in history that the Dow closes above 12,000. Now, why is this significant? People have been telling me, "This seems to be moving too fast. Is the other shoe going to drop? The Dow has been just record after record after record.
Well, it's record after record after record because we're at the top. Every day that it goes up -- markets, instinct -- they go up over time, so we're going to see records. But remember, the march from 10,000 to 11,000 took 26 days. One gets that that might be a little odd, rushed. The march from 11,000 to 12,000: 7 1/2 years. So everybody thinks this has been a massive rush to 12,000 -- it really hasn't been.
VELSHI: Twelve thousand and eleven, a new record on the Dow. The first time ever over 12,000.

Hahn has Hudson Valley humming
Right-hander has allowed three hits over his last 15 innings
By John Parker / MLB.com | August 26, 2012 3:31 PM ET
The hard-throwing right-handed Rays prospect tossed five one-hit frames for the third consecutive time Sunday afternoon, striking out a career-high seven batters as short-season Hudson Valley topped visiting Aberdeen, 3-0, for its ninth straight win.
Hahn was a sixth-round pick out of Virginia Tech in 2010, but did not make his pro debut until joining the Renegades in June. His starts have been gradually lengthening -- he pitched no more than three innings in his first five outings, then four innings in the next four games before stretching out to five frames in his last three appearances. The Rays have him on a limit of five innings or 80 pitches, whichever comes first.
"I feel like my fastball is back up to where it was before [the surgery]," Hahn said. "It feels really good. My [fastball] command is there, and I can bump it up with two strikes if I need to."
After a rough outing at Staten Island on June 24 in his second game -- he gave up six earned runs in 1 1/3 innings -- Hahn has become increasingly tough to hit. With Hahn having allowed just three hits over his last 15 frames, the New York-Penn League is now hitting .191 against him. He has yet to yield a home run in 47 professional innings.
The 23-year-old hurler got off to a strong start against the IronBirds on Sunday, striking out the side in the first inning and fanning two more in the second. Aberdeen's Manuel Hernandez reached on a throwing error by Renegades shortstop Leonardo Reginatto to open the third, but was swiftly erased while trying to swipe second base.
Hahn worked around a one-out walk in the fourth and surrendered his first hit -- an infield single -- to the IronBirds' leadoff man, Sam Kimmel, in the fifth. Kimmel was left stranded at first as Hahn closed out the inning with a strikeout, a flyout and a groundout. He faced two over the minimum and did not allow a baserunner to reach second.
"It was a first-pitch fastball. [Kimmel] hit a grounder that just got by me, and then beat out the throw to first," Hahn said.
Hudson Valley's relievers were similarly overpowering. Brandon Henderson (5-2) followed Hahn by allowing one hit in three innings to pick up the win. Ryan Garton worked around a single and a walk in the ninth to earn his sixth save and finish off the three-hitter.
Third baseman Richie Shaffer, the 25th overall pick in this year's Draft, was the offensive hero for the Renegades, delivering a two-run single in the sixth. The Clemson product has plated at least one in each of his past five games and has 12 RBIs in his last 10 outings.
With nine consecutive victories, the Renegades have opened up a 6 1/2-game lead over Brooklyn in the NYPL's McNamara Division and are just 1 1/2 games behind Tri-City for the circuit's top record with 10 games left.
"Everyone's excited to get to the playoffs and get a shot at a championship," Hahn said. "This team has some great chemistry."

A 21-year-old Montclair man has been jailed in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Chino man.
Chino officers arrested Kyle Strickland Larrabee, who is suspected of murdering 23-year-old Robert Hernandez on Friday morning, according to a police news release.
Police and paramedics were called out to the 12800 block of Santa Ana Place, a residential area, around 9:30 a.m. Friday on reports of a fight.
Authorities found Hernandez lying in the driveway of a home with at least one stab wound. Paramedics took him to a hospital, where he died.
Detectives said Hernandez was attacked by Larrabee, who reportedly fled before officers arrived.
Authorities found Larrabee in Carbon Canyon in Chino Hills and took him into custody at about 7:30 p.m. Friday, police said.
A motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
Larrabee was booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of murder, police said.


text: "Recipe for America: New York, Immigration, and American Identity through Culinary Culture" is a three-week school teacher institute for twenty-five participants on immigration, assimilation, and food culture in New York City in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The institute investigates immigration, cultural diffusion, and assimilation through a consideration of ethnic foodways, moving from early European immigration to recent experiences of African-American, Caribbean, Chinese, and Asian communities. The Institute is hosted by the New York Public Library (NYPL) and is presented in conjunction with a major NYPL exhibition about food in New York City, which draws from the Library's extraordinary materials, including its unique cookbook and menu collections, as well as pamphlets and other ephemera. Throughout, the program addresses cultural traditions, the formation of ethnic neighborhoods, and interactions with the broad American culture. The directors argue that "[r]eligious belief, economic circumstances, geography, understandings of gender roles, and even technology can be understood through food." The institute visits important sites related to immigration, including Ellis Island, the Lower East Side, and the Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens. The large cast of visiting scholars includes Suzanne Wasserman (Gotham Center for New York City History), Hasia Diner (Judaic studies, New York University), Megan Elias (history, Queensborough Community College), Andrew Smith (food studies, New York University), Jane Ziegelman (independent scholar), and Edward O'Donnell (history, College of the Holy Cross). The reading list includes a general account of New York history, Gotham, by Mike Wallace and Edwin Burrows; Hungering for America, a major history of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrant foodways by visiting scholar Hasia Diner; Remaking the Mainstream, a book on contemporary immigration by Richard Alba and Victor Nee; and studies of immigration, food culture, and research methods by other scholars, including members of the institute faculty.

#1: Light products that can give volume?
So, everything weighs my hair down. I hate it. Does anyone know of any product I can use alone that will control frizz and not weigh my hair down? I don't like using more than one product because it weighs me down. Lately I have been using AG re:coil but it doesn't control my frizz. It does define my curls though. If it helps, I have 2c/3a fine hair with low porosity and a high density of it.

Board members said their approval was contingent on updates this November and next March to ensure the reforms were being measured and staying on track.
The approval came despite vehement opposition from several parent members of We Can Do Better Palo Alto, who argued that Gunn's plan — which will require a change in the school's daily bell schedule in 2014-15 — fails to achieve "comparable services" to those offered in Palo Alto High School's guidance-counseling program.
They cited polls from two years ago as well as from this past year indicating Gunn students and parents are less satisfied than Paly students and parents with existing counseling services.
"This is unacceptable," We Can Do Better member Kathy Sharp said, urging board members to "send Gunn back to the drawing boards and have some measurable implementation next year."
But board members said they were swayed by the level of commitment and progress in Gunn's reforms so far, which include plans to open a new college and career center this fall, designate a lead counselor as well as a specialized college-and-career counselor and hold a series of assemblies aimed at sophomores.
The school also has added a weekly email to update parents on activities of the guidance-counseling program and will make a counselor available for drop-in visits from students.
Gunn's "action plan" for counseling reform follows the February recommendations of a parent-staff-student Guidance Advisory Committee, whose members represented sharply divergent viewpoints at the school.
To be successful, the reforms must have the commitment and buy-in of all groups at the school, Principal Katya Villalobos said, likening the change to "trying to turn around an aircraft carrier."
Superintendent Kevin Skelly challenged what he said was a faulty assumption of the critics.
"This conversation starts with a mindset that somehow Gunn is broken, and I disagree wholeheartedly with that premise," Skelly said. "I think it's one of the great high schools in this country.
"Gunn, and both schools, do a remarkable job of helping families get to the next level. Kids get into colleges because they have academic experiences at our schools that are second to none."

Sitting Too Long Could Kill You
Try these five tips to get off your tush at work—and potentially add years to your life.
-Deborah Dunham, YouBeauty.com
Clear some space in your cubicle. You are going to want to get down and do some push-ups after reading this.
Published in Archives of Internal Medicine this week, a new study analyzed 200,000 people and found that prolonged time spent on our derrieres may contribute to an untimely demise, in part because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Specifically, researchers found that adults who sit for 11 or more hours a day (add up your driving time, office time and Real Housewives couch potato time) have a 40 percent increased risk of dying in the next three years compared with those who sit less than four hours a day.
Given the fact that the average adult spends a whopping 90 percent of their leisure time sitting down and less than half of us meet the minimum daily physical activity requirements set by the World Health Organization (150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise a week), this is definitely cause for alarm.
And those exercise minimums are not always easy to meet.
Read Six Habits for Busy Would-Be Exercisers
"We know that we need to get 10,000 steps a day, according to the American Heart Association," explained Beth Ricanati, M.D., YouBeauty Wellness Advisor. "If you're sitting that long, it's impossible to get that many steps a day."
You might be thinking: "But I hit the gym every morning before work, so this doesn't apply to me." Sorry to say, but it does.
While working out regularly does give you better odds, it's still not enough if you spend the better part of your day sitting (damn desk job!). While inactive people who sat the most had double the risk of dying within three years versus active people who sat the least, staying seated for that amount of time is dangerous regardless of your workout regimen.
So does that mean all of your hard-earned sweat in cycling classes and on the treadmill is worthless?
"It's not quite so black and white," notes Dr. Ricanati. "The hour at the gym is better than nothing. Get the hour." Not only will you get the cardio benefits, but you'll release stress and find that you're more self-aware of your body during the rest of the day. "If you're sitting most of the day, it's really easy to be mindless across the board," she added. And that can translate to a slew of unhealthy behaviors, such as poor nutritional choices.
Up next, tips on how to stay active even while you're at work!

..Can he be as good as they make him out to be?...
Does he stand a chance against the Klitschko's?
Based on Vitali's performance against Johnson I would say yes...
Yes. For a heavyweight he can move, ok not like the grace that Ali had but he is good to watch. I hate watching heavyweights, watchin Klitchsco last week bored the shit out of me. Haye is what the division needs, but then again it takes two to make a match. That Vitali is just one awkward big twat though an Hayes chin is yet to be tested at this weight and he's been KO'd by lesser opponents.
The Vitali I watched bore us all to tears last weekend against Kevin Johnson could get beaten by Haye, not would be beaten by him, but certainly could.
Haye could never have beaten the Vitali of 2003 who was well ahead against Lennox Lewis before the fight got stopped on a cut.
If Haye vs Vitali were to happen tonight, I'd still make Vitali the slight favourite because of his granite chin, but he is a lot more beatable than he used to be.
Even though Wladimir is technically a better boxer than Vitali, I'd have to make Haye the favourite if they were to fight. Wlad just isn't as tough as his brother and I think Hayes power would be too much for him in the end.

"That was how i got my first soapy titwank!
Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.
The only reason I want to see the Haye vs Wlad matchup first because I think at this moment in their careers Wlad is better than Vitali meerly because of age, 5 years ago no chance but I see Haye beating Vitali all day because he's lightening fast for a heavyweight.
So. Whence shall the Haye return, should he step forth again into the arena of gods, between those ropes where the cash rolls in.
Should he once again be re-united in combat with a robotic Ukrainian stone-face, or simply live out his days as a public figure?

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College
community dedicated the most recent addition to the college's A.P.
White Campus on Friday morning as the ribbon was cut on Harold J.
Smith Hall.
The four-story, 186-bed building the college's largest residence
hall. The 44,000-square-foot building cost about $7 million. It was
opened at the start of the 2010-11 school year -- and just in time.
LWC has a record residential enrollment of 1,052 this year. That's
an increase of 356 students -- or 51.1 percent -- since the 2007-08
school year.
"The fact that the building came in under time and under budget
speaks volumes about the beauty about this new facility and the
amazing coordination and commitment to pull things off," LWC
President William T. Luckey Jr. said.
Vice President for Student Services & Enrollment Management
Dean Adams said Smith Hall already plays an
integral role in the college's undergraduate residential
"With the (Lindsey Wilson) mission as its foundation,
this building was designed to integrate living and learning where
every student, every day, can learn and grow and feel like a real
human being," Adams said. "In this building, lives will be changed,
friendships will be formed, thoughts will blossom and beliefs will
grow into conviction."
But as Luckey pointed out, the real story about Smith Hall is
the person after whom it was named. The late Harold J. Smith of
Crestwood, Ky., was a 13-year member of Lindsey Wilson Board of
Trustees. He died in 2007.
Smith, who helped numerous LWC students through his support of
the Lindsey Wilson Fund and the college's endowment, missed but one
meeting during his time on the college's board.
"Of the remarkable things about this building, the most amazing
to me is the name on the building and the man this facility
honors," Luckey said. "In my 50 years on this planet, I have never
known anyone more faithful, more devoted, more godly than Harold
Luckey recalled that even when Smith was on his deathbed in
2007, he continued to seek ways to support the college, asking,
"What else can I do for you to help you and make a difference for
this place I love."
"Even with death imminent, he was calling to encourage me and
was still searching for ways to make a difference," Luckey said.
"He spoke with great excitement and enthusiasm for the future of
the college. He knew what we were planning and he was excited about
S. Oden Howell of Louisville, Ky. -- one of two people who
replaced Smith on the LWC board -- said that Smith led a life
dedicated to "reaching out and helping others whenever help was
"If I had but one wish, it would be that all of us would walk in
the footsteps of Harold Smith," Howell said. "What a wonderful
world this would be."
Smith's daughter Prudy Newton of Louisville said that she and
her sister, Cindy Noe of Louisville, fell in love with Lindsey
Wilson through their father's work.
"We shared so much with dad and through dad about this college
-- his great, great love for it," she said. "His last few days were
dedicated to what could be left for Lindsey, what could be left to
Lindsey. And we think he did a real good job."

Make 2010 Your Leadership Year with New Training Programs from XLC
By Sue Bensman, Director of Programs, Xavier Leadership Center | December 15, 2009
As the New Year begins, many business professionals are taking a considered look at their careers, analyzing whether they have what it takes to thrive in their positions or to take their work to the next level. Companies, too, are facing a new dilemma: after several months of a turbulent economy, signs of improvement are on the horizon—which means their best and brightest leaders may want to explore other opportunities. Savvy companies will ensure they provide leadership growth within their own organizations, to keep their highest potential leaders engaged.
Xavier Leadership Center is responding to both individual and company needs with a suite of new programs in our Spring 2010 lineup—building on our already comprehensive set of open enrollment courses.
"We've had strong response to our core programs, and requests to expand our offerings to include 'what's next' courses, as well as some introductory workshops to meet the needs of business professionals at all levels," explains Sue Bensman, Director of Programs. "We've added programs in our Leadership, Project Management, Process Excellence and Human Resources tracks, and are developing still more programs for the fall." For a complete listing of Xavier Leadership Center programs, go to www.xavier.edu/xlc.
New programs offered through Xavier Leadership Center include:
In addition to Critical Skills for New Supervisors, Communication Skills for Supervisors, Success Strategies for Middle Management and Finance for Non-Financial Managers, business leaders can explore:

Project Management:
Adding to Xavier Leadership Center's Project Management Certificate Program and PMP® Exam Review, you can discover:
Introduction to Project Management - Even if you don't have the title of "Project Manager," chances are you have several projects on your plate right now. Whether you're tackling an individual or team project, learn how to initiate, plan and budget for your initiative, track progress, troubleshoot issues and close your project successfully—on time and on budget.
Process Excellence:
After getting Lean with Six Sigma certification, process excellence professionals can master the next step in the Lean canon:
Lean Certification – Embracing the lean business system is just the first step for most organizations. Now you can learn Lean leadership from the inside out, including visual management, value stream mapping, error proofing, waste reduction and lean teams and metrics – essential for the advanced Lean practitioner!

Beyond Train the Trainer -This "hands-on" training shows you how to know when and how to train, create effective training tools, choose the best facilitators, and solve challenges in any training environment. A must for the advanced trainer!

Enlarged prostate - after careBPH - self-care; Benign prostatic hypertrophy - self-care; Benign prostatic hyperplasia - self-care
The prostate is a gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. It surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.
An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown bigger. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older. As the gland grows, it can block the urethra and cause urination and bladder problems.
Lifestyle Changes
Some changes in your everyday life may help relieve your symptoms:
- Urinate when you first get the urge. Also, go to the bathroom when you have the chance, even if you don't feel a need to urinate.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine, especially after dinner.
- Don't drink a lot of fluid all at once. Spread out fluids throughout the day. Avoid drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime.
- Keep warm and exercise regularly. Cold weather and lack of physical activity may worsen symptoms.
- Reduce stress. Nervousness and tension can lead to more frequent urination.
Learn about exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles if you have problems with leaking or losing control of your urine. Once you know what the movement feels like, do these exercises three times a day.
Medications, Herbs, and Supplements
Your health care provider may prescribe a medicine called alpha-1- blocker (doxazosin, prazosin, tamsulosin, terazosin, and alfuzosin).
- Most people find that these medicines help their symptoms, usually soon after they start taking them. You must take them every day.
- Common side effects include nasal stuffiness, headaches, lightheadedness when you stand up, and weakness. You may also experience a decreased ejaculate.
- Ask your doctor about taking Sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis) with alpha-1- blockers.
Finasteride and dutasteride (5 alpha-reductase-bph inhibitors) may also be prescribed.
- You will need to take these drugs every day for 3 - 6 months before your symptoms begin to improve.
- Side effects include less interest in sex and less semen when you ejaculate.
Watch out for drugs that may make your symptoms worse:
- Try NOT to take over-the-counter cold and sinus medications that contain decongestants or antihistamines. They can make your symptoms worse.
- Men who are taking water pills or diuretics may want to talk to their doctor about reducing the dosage or switching to another type of drug.
- Other drugs that may worsen symptoms are certain antidepressants and drugs used to treat spasticity.
Many herbs and supplements have been tried for treating an enlarged prostate.
- Saw palmetto has been used by millions of men to ease BPH symptoms. It is unclear whether this herb is effective in relieving the signs and symptoms of BPH.
- Talk with your regular health care provider about any herbs or supplements you're taking.
- Generally, manufacturers of herbal remedies and dietary supplements do not need approval from the Food and Drug Administration to sell their products.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Less urine than usual
- Fever or chills
- Back, side, or abdominal pain
- Blood or pus in your urine
Also call your doctor if:
- Your bladder does not feel completely empty after you urinate.
- You take medications that may cause urinary problems, like diuretics, antihistamines, antidepressants, or sedatives. Do NOT stop or adjust your medications on your own without talking to your doctor.
- You have taken self-care measures without relief.

I Do Not . . . . know of a better value for cruising the protected waters of the Northwest than a Gemini Catamaran. They are such easy keepers. Easy to handle. Easy to moor. They fit in most 40' slips and some 35' slips which makes mooring a breeze. And they have the most well thought out accommodations I've found in a small cat.
I Do Naut. . . these Geminis are super economical with the 27 hp Westerbeke pushing the boat at about 7.5 knots while burning a mere half gallon of diesel an hour. They sail well upwind with their retractable centerboards and drivelegs. With centerboards and rudders retracted they can slip into water as skinny as 18". This Gemini has all of the characteristics that allow for great nautical adventures in the Pacific Northwest.
I Do Knot. . . Geminis are very simple catamarans to handle and maintain. Their masthead rig yields plenty of power. The 150% genoa provides drive and is easily furled as the wind picks up. Lazy Jacks make raising and lowering the main easy. The helm and sheets are easily tended by a single crew. The Gemini 105M is a great starter catamaran, easy to handle, and a great learning platform for sharpening seamanship skills.
I Do Naught. . . There is nothing quite like sitting on the foredeck of a Gemini on a sunny day, leaning back against the coachroof beneath the Genoa with the autopilot remote in-hand listening to her sweet sounds as she gently makes way. This is a wonderful experience. She'll slip into the most protected of anchorages - close to shore if the anchorage is crowded. Just raise the boards and rudders and you'll always find a spot to relax and Do Naught.

it seems, like several peopla, that I can't get crawltrack to work for me.
I installed - OK
I added tags to my web pages - OK
I changed the file permissions to crawltrack.php, etc to 755 - OK
I set a test crawler and looked in admin - OK
I deleted the test crawler and then looked at several pages from the site, from firefox and ie. Also from another computer. - absolute zero, nothing, nada, zip.
All fields in the crawltrack home screen are zero - except server load, which says 7 visits.
Can anyone please tell me what I have done wrong.
thanks for your help.
Everything look fine, but your own visits are removed from the base by one of the cleanings filters.
Maybe because you are looking too much pages in a few seconds which is not a normal behavior for a visitor.
If you don't get anything after a few hours (other visitors than you and/or crawlers) let me know.
Hi Jean-Denis,
you are right. I left it for a while and looked again today and all now seems to be well.
Thanks for the help.

Just boot from the LiveCD and reinstall Grub.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Just boot into the live cd and reinstall grub. Once you have booted up the live cd you can go into konsole and type grub ( as root) . This will take you to the grub prompt. You should then type find /boot/grub/stage1 . this will show you what hard drive grub is installed on. The hard drive number and partition number will be different for you. Then you can type root (hd1,4) . (hd1,4) will probably not be what you are going to have so you will need to modify that accordingly. then you type setup (hd1) and that should be it. You should now have grub reinstalled.
find /boot/grub/stage1
root (hd1,4)

Excuse the plain English expression!! Was lucky enough to bump into one of my fave wine reps who knows my liking for viognier.
The wine in question is the `05 Cold Heaven Viognier from Morgan Clendenen who is the wife of Jim C. of Au Bon Climat fame. Her first vintage was 1996 and this white varietal is her main focus. Cost will be $44.00 Cdn.
Nose had vanilla, pear and some toasty oak tones. I thought it quite perfumed with some spice and honeysuckle. Very young but not too austere.
Blockbuster palate forumites.....some early fat, pear, peach and opulent. Is Condrieu like this?! I did not think it was too syrupy (store owner) but never tasted such a high quality luscious viognier before. The `02 is around, might have to give it a try but big bucks.
*** Val the rep told me that MC also makes some Pinot Noir as well as some Syrah but in limited quantities.

But Wolseley tells me the Sultan has refused the Conference.
The highwayman passed his victim and threw open the bonnet of the Wolseley.
Presently he stopped before us, smiling, and it was Wolseley.
Then came the intimation that Wolseley was to command the expedition.
It was made in two pieces from a bed sheet, the lining of two Wolseley valises and a couple of towels.
General Wolseley, who is here with the Duke of Edinburgh, was presented.
From 10 to 11 o'clock the enemy continued to develop his attack on the centre and right of Wolseley's position.
Wolseley took to getting up at 5.30 every morning, and no day was long enough for his activities and his hospitalities.
The present "Wekil," according to Wolseley, should be appointed Mudir.
Wolseley gave up any thought of periodical literature; when I urged it he said he was "always being attacked for writing."

Topic: Clean scan
Despite having severe "different" back pain, a sore liver, and feeling queasy I just got back my PET-CT scan and it came back clean. Apparently the pain in my liver is caused by the nerve endings in the area of my surgery incision have decided to start working again and are just a little confused about which signals to send. The back pain and queasiness--blame it on my head. I have been so stressed and worried about this scan that I literally made myself sore and sick. The fact that it took over 3 weeks to get the results of the scan(dr on vacation!!) didnt help. I guess I am not as emotionally strong as I would like to be!
I am so happy. I have passed the 6 month mark with no reoccurance. Another scan in a couple of months to mentally prepare for, I just wish I was stronger.

Tea Party to Jeb Bush: Don't tread on us
If Jeb Bush decides to run for president, he will have several advantages: access to deep-pocketed donors; a national network of political operatives who helped his brother George get elected twice; and a popularity among the Morning Joe media elite set who see him as a possible savior of the Republican Party.
But he also will face a deep skepticism among the conservative grass roots and the Tea Partiers who fuel the Republican primary process.
"I don't know him real well, but from what I have read he is not someone I could support," said Scott Hofstra, a Tea Party leader active in Kentucky. He cited Bush's support for the Common Core, an Obama administration plan to nationalize educational standards, which Hofstra said "takes the teachers out of education and treats every child the same."
"The Tea Party is very much a constitutionally based group, and that is not something we could support," he added.
It was a feeling echoed by nearly a dozen grassroots leaders around the country interviewed Monday, as Bush basked in the glow of rekindled interest in his political prospects after he spoke at an event in Texas over the weekend to honor the 25th anniversary of father's presidency.
The speech did little to endear him to conservatives. Bush defended his position on Common Core, saying, "I just don't feel compelled to run for cover when I think this is the right thing to do for our country"; criticized Republicans for the tenor of the primary campaigns in years past; and, most controversially, appeared to defend undocumented immigrants. "Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony; it's an act of love," he said.
Several of the conservative leaders interviewed by The Daily Beast said they saw those comments as evidence that Bush is not a true conservative.

text: Out to Pasture: All I'm Asking for Is Simple Fairness October 20, 2010 05:07 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Steve Cornett Drovers Editor Emeritus Email Steve Cornett I know who you are. You're one of those guys who's always trying to do a better job of managing your cattle operation. You're careful with your range, Johnny-on-the-spot with your wormers and fly control, good about watching winter nutrition, studious about genetics and willing to pay $5,000 for a bull when you could get five bulls for that at the sale barn. If that's the way you want to run your deal, that's fine. But maybe it's not how I want to live my life, thank you. Maybe I'm not the most attentive manager (as if that's all that matters in life). I don't always get around to everything when I should. But I'm not just here for the money. I'm here for the quality of life. How fair is it that I have to compete with type A money-grubbers like you? This check isn't fair. Sure, my calf crop is below-average. I have fewer calves to sell and they don't weigh as much as those delivered by you better managers. So every year, you get more money than I do. Where's the fairness in that? What I'd like to see is the federal government mandate that people pay me more for calves than they pay you for your bigger calf crop. I forsee a backwards scale that goes something like this: Say calves are worth $1 per lb. If I have a 70% calf crop and they weigh 500 lb., I get only $35,000, while you, with your attention to detail, have a 100% calf crop that weighs 700 lb. You get $70,000. Do you see how unfair that is? Year after year, you get more and I get less. If this goes on, I'm going to be driven out of business! In fact, the last 40 years, 800,000 farmers and ranchers have been driven out of business by people like you. We need a "more level playing field." We need this to be more "fair and equitable." Happily, we've got just the government to help. Let's get GIPSA to require buyers to pay for cattle on a sliding scale. All it takes is a rule. And some paperwork—buyers will have to keep records on who they pay what, and you and I will have to document how big our calf crop was and what they weighed. But that's just record keeping. No worries! Oops, I picked out the wrong management input there. What I meant to do is ask GIPSA to level the playing field on the way cattle are marketed, not the way they're grown. I meant to endorse the Obama administration's plan for "restoring" competitiveness and eliminating favoritism and discrimination in the cattle market by having trial lawyers and urban-based juries decide what is and is not a fair way to sell cattle. Instead of making everyone pay the same per head, let's require everyone to market cattle the same way and require buyers to offer everybody—from the seller who is a longtime, reliable and reputable supplier to the trader who is just off his latest cease-and-desist order—the same deal. Yes, that's much fairer. It levels the playing field, like Secretary Vilsack and Attorney General Holder promise. It will keep the good marketers from putting the poor marketers out of business. We may give up some efficiencies, reduce incentives for herd improvement and weaken consumer price signals still more. But that seems a fair price to pay to protect cattle producers who don't want to try new stuff, doesn't it?

Gun Lobby Scores Big Victory in North Carolina
For years, police officers in North Carolina had a choice when it came to confiscated guns. They could use them for law enforcement purposes—training, testing, examining—or they could destroy them.
But a new law (PDF) passed by Republican lawmakers in the state changes that. Police officers can still use confiscated guns, but as of this week, they can't destroy them. Instead, if a department wants to get rid of a gun, it has to sell it or auction it. Effectively, men and women who once worked to keep guns off of the streets must now moonlight as gun dealers.
Crafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and passed at the urging of the National Rifle Association, the specifics of the "Save the Gun" law are straightforward. When faced with confiscated guns, law enforcement agencies must either donate, keep, or sell the items to licensed firearm dealers. The only guns that can legally be destroyed are those that are damaged or missing serial numbers, the latter an indication the gun was stolen. (In practical terms, that group doesn't add up to many weapons; nationwide, stolen guns account for just 10 to 15 percent of those used in crimes.)
As for what law enforcement thinks? After ALEC developed this proposal in 2011, the Fraternal Order of the Police, a national labor union, said that it preferred discretion when it came to dealing with confiscated weapons—a reasonable position. In North Carolina, the Sheriff's Association, a trade group, declined to comment on the measure while it faced debate in the legislature. Still, it's hard to imagine that local police are happy with a law that not only limits their options but also blocks judges from ordering the destruction of weapons used in a crime. Indeed, there's something perverse about forcing a police department to sell guns that may have been used for assault or murder.
There's a big question hanging over all of this: why—besides their commitment to every right-wing priority under the sun—would North Carolina Republicans push this kind of law? In praising the proposal as "fiscally responsible," one co-sponsor suggested that money was the main reason—that it would be a way for police departments to fund themselves. In which case, why forbid law enforcement from destroying guns? Why not give them the choice? That's the approach Texas tookthis summer, with a law that allows police departments to sell confiscated weapons but doesn't require them to do so.

HerniaHernia - inguinal; Inguinal hernia; Direct and indirect hernia; Rupture; Strangulation; Incarceration
A hernia is a sac formed by the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). The sac comes through a hole or weak area in the strong layer of the belly wall that surrounds the muscle. This layer is called the fascia.
Which type of hernia you have depends on where it is:
- Femoral hernia is a bulge in the upper thigh, just below the groin. This type is more common in women than men.
- Hiatal hernia occurs in the upper part of the stomach. Part ofthe upper stomach pushes into the chest.
- Incisional hernia can occur through a scar if you have had abdominal surgery in the past.
- Umbilical hernia appears as a bulge around the belly button. It occurs when the muscle around the belly button doesn't close completely.
- Inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin. It is more common in men. Itmay go all the way down into the scrotum.
Usually, there is no obvious cause of a hernia. Sometimes hernias occur with heavy lifting, straining while using the toilet, or any activity that raises the pressure inside the belly area. Hernias may be present at birth, but the bulge may not be noticeable until later in life. Some patients may have a family history of hernias.
Babies and children can get hernias. It happens when there is weakness in the belly wall.About 5 out of 100 children have inguinal hernias. They are more common in boys. Some children may not have symptoms until they are adults.
Any activity or medical problem that increases pressure on the tissue in the belly walland muscles may lead to a hernia, including:
- Chronic constipation and pushing hard (straining) to have a bowel movement
- Chronic cough
- Cystic fibrosis
- Enlarged prostate, straining to urinate
- Extra weight
- Fluid in the abdomen (ascites)
- Heavy lifting
- Peritoneal dialysis
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking
- Overexertion
- Undescended testicles
There are usually nosymptoms. Some peoplehave discomfort or pain. The discomfort may be worse when you stand, strain, or lift heavy objects. In time, most people will complain about a bump that is sore and growing.
If a hernia gets bigger, it may get stuck inside the hole and lose its blood supply. This is called "strangulation." If this occurs, you will need urgent surgery.
Exams and Tests
Your doctor or nurse can usually see or feela hernia when they examine you. You may be asked to cough, bend, push, or lift. The hernia may get bigger when you do this.
The hernia (bulge) may not be easily seen in infants and children, except when the child is crying or coughing.
Ultrasound or CT scans may be done to look for a hernia.
If you may have a blockage in your bowel, you will need an x-ray of the abdomen.
Surgery is the only treatment that can permanently fix a hernia. Surgery may be more risky for patients with serious medical problems.
Surgery secures the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and closes any holes. Today, most hernias are closed with cloth patches to plug up the holes.
An umbilical hernia that does not heal on its own by the time your child is 5 years old may be repaired.
Emergency surgery is sometimes needed. The sac containing the intestine or other tissue may become stuck in the hole in the abdominal wall. If it cannot be pushed back through, this can lead to a strangulated loop of intestine. If left untreated, this portion of the intestine dies because it loses its blood supply.
Today, hernias can be fixed by open surgery or with the use ofa laparoscope (camera). The advantages of using a camera include smaller surgical cuts, faster recovery, and less pain after the procedure.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome for most herniasis usually good with treatment.It is rare for a hernia to come back. Incisional hernias are more likely to return.
Possible Complications
In rare cases, inguinal hernia repair can damage structures involved in the function of a man's testicles.
Another risk of hernia surgery is nerve damage, which can lead to numbness in the groin area.
If a part of your bowel was trapped or strangulated before surgery, it may lead to a bowel perforation or dead bowel.
