Hi All,
I'm using Firefox as distributed with BT 5 R2 x64 Gnome
When attempting to run Firefox I receive this error in terminal
The following URL provided me with an answer which I had difficulty finding.Code:root@bt:~# firefox /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
Because the thread was a bit messy as non-relevant issues were also addressed I bring you my version, clean I hope
Special thanks to EStyles for figuring this out
In essence the three libs:
Are showing up as ELFCLASS64 when they should be ELFCLASS32Code:/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
I believe that is because we have a 32bit Firefox and not the 64bit as you might have expected.
There may be other ways to fix this but I hesitate to switch up the product mix in Backtrack as it is all so tightly integrated.
So in staying wiith the 32bit Firefox here is how I implemented the fix as per the link above.
Each of the below should show as ELF64Code:cd /usr/lib/gio/modules
If the above show as ELF64Code:readelf -h libgioremote-volume-monitor.so readelf -h libgvfsdbus.so readelf -h libgiogconf.so
Make a folder to backup the ELF64 files in question, they look exactly the same as ELF32 so must be isolated
Copy corresponding ELF32 files from lib32 to lib ( you can check that they are ELF32 first by using readelf -h as shown above if you like)Code:mkdir ./backupELF64 mv ./libgioremote-volume-monitor.so ./backupELF64 mv ./libgvfsdbus.so ./backupELF64 mv ./libgiogconf.so ./backupELF64
Start Firefox in terminal and be happyCode:cd /usr/lib32/gio/modules cp ./libgioremote-volume-monitor.so /usr/lib/gio/modules cp ./libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/gio/modules cp ./libgiogconf.so /usr/lib/gio/modules
Let me know if this is not done correctly pleaseCode:firefox

The intel ipw3945 is already loaded on BT3. Along with the ipwraw modules.
I use the command:
modprobe -r iwl3945 (this will unload iwl3945)
modprobe ipwraw (this will load ipwraw for packet injection)
once you get done with that then do
modprobe -r ipwraw (to unload packet injection)
modprobe iwl3945 (to load the original mod)
also in case you didnt know you cant surf the internet while in monitor mode.
Let me know if you get it working.

Supreme Court Gay Marriage Rulings Draw Mixed Reactions in Utah
Mixed reactions -- here in Utah -- to Wednesday morning's Supreme Court rulings, regarding the federal 'Defense of Marriage Act' and California's Prop 8.
Both rulings were resounding victories for gay rights advocates.
Utah Pride Center Executive Director Valerie Larabee says there was "not a dry eye in the house," as people heard the rulings at her Salt Lake facility.
But Gayle Ruzicka, with the Utah Eagle Forum, says the rulings will have no impact in our state.
Two different rallies -- one for same-sex marriage supporters and the other for traditional marriage advocates -- will be held in the Salt Lake Valley, Wednesday evening.

WATCH: Pro-Gun Video Created In Response To Bloomberg's Anti-Gun Ad
Everytown For Gun Safety, former NYC Mayor Bloomberg's pet project to disarm Americans created a disturbing ad depicting scenes of domestic violence. In the ad, an abusive ex-boyfriend breaks into the woman's house and shoots her. The ad calls for more restrictive gun control to keep guns out of the hands of abusers.
Meanwhile, a pro-gun group Liberty Pennsylvania created a counter ad, that focuses on empowering women to defend themselves. In this ad, instead of becoming the victim, the woman defends herself from her abusive attacker.

The bogus reuse of the > ULOG netlink number is simply indicative of that. And how does it indicate that it is bogus? :) It is one netlink user that can use any socket number - and now it is called bogus. What other people suggest is just create some wrapper over netlink_broadcast() and alloc_skb(). if you do think it will solve all problems, then I even will not say anything. Point. I just want to note, that if you want message bus, you require at least oppsite direction, and thus input callback, and either several socket number for each user [kobject, audit, iscsi, xfrm - all they implement what connector already does] or some header and thus parser in input callback, and thus some registration mechanism. Magically it is what connector does. And nothing more, btw. It only allows not to rewrite the whole driver just to move to new transport layer, only register new cn_dev device with different method. Ok, Dave, we all see your point, feel free to remove connector, I will not bother people to include it yet another time... But I believe in a month or two someone will reinvent the wheel and create somthing similar. If it will be simple wrapper, then it just can not solve message bus problem, only notification, and thus someone will create it again. Thank you. P.S. smtp server from my old university years seems to still drop your messages, sorry for that, I will kick admins again. -- Evgeniy Polyakov Crash is better than data corruption -- Arthur Grabowski

How did Romain Grosjean shoot from the midfield to second place in those dying laps? He was originally on a two stopper just like Vettel and Alonso.
It was a fantastic performance. When we see how Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso finished the race with no grip and terrible lap times, you appreciate what an unbelievable result it is for Romain. He looked fast the whole race, normal pace, but all the time he was saving his tyres so the tyres were in really good condition for the final 15 laps. Another four or five laps, I just wonder what could have happened. Lewis Hamilton was fast, but Romain was even faster. I tell you, it was a great race. The middle was a bit boring, but the end was sensational.
The Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve must hold a special place in your career, having taken your sole grand prix win there. What is it about the place that you love?
The layout is very exciting for drivers, because the walls are so close, as are the grandstands and the fans. The crowds there have so much passion, because of Gilles Villeneuve and the spirit he brings to racing in Canada. All the fans remember him, and I'm one of them. He gave me the passion I now have for motorsport.
Speaking of inspiring the next generation of drivers, did you see Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne wore a Jean Alesi-inspired helmet in Monaco?
That was fantastic. It actually made me very emotional because nowadays you think the current generation don't care about what happened in the past, the drivers that raced in F1 years ago. It was a full surprise to me. I spoke to him the day before on the telephone and he told me he had a surprise for me, but I wasn't expecting that. It was a lovely gift.
Romain outperformed Kimi Räikkönen last weekend, as he did in Monaco. Both drivers now have second places to their name. Is the pressure now on Kimi to deliver that first win of the year?
I don't think so because there have been seven winners from seven races, and the points are all shared across the board. Almost anyone is capable of winning the championship. Romain and Kimi are both very capable of not only winning the next race, but winning the title. What impresses me is the consistency of speed from Lotus. We all wondered if they had enough budget to keep up in the development race against Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari, but they are maintaining their competitiveness very well.
How do you think the team will get on next week in Valencia?
It's a strange circuit, but even if we look at the results at 'normal' circuits this year, like Barcelona where everyone knows a lot about the track, the winner was a surprise! Next weekend could be the same, and I'm hoping the surprise winner is driving a Lotus.

Imagine this all-too-common scenario: Your home is burglarized, and because the stolen items weren't exactly Picassos, most of the cost to replace them would come out of your pocket due to the $500 or $1,000 deductible on your home insurance policy.
Then, it occurs to you, that maybe if you pad your claim, say by adding a "missing" $500 or $1,000 TV or laptop, you could "help" your insurance work the way it was intended, i.e., to make you whole again following a loss.
Would you do it? Or would you balk?
1 in 4 would pad
A new study by the Insurance Research Council, "Insurance Fraud: A Public View," finds that nearly a quarter of us (24 percent) would pad our claim by a small amount to erase the deductible and thus shift the replacement cost onto our insurer. In addition, 18 percent of us think it would be perfectly OK to pad a claim to make up for all those years of premiums we paid without ever receiving a dime back.
Surprisingly, our scruples seem to have improved despite the recent lean times. Back in 2002, a third of all survey respondents (33 percent) would have added that fictitious TV or laptop to their claim, and today's 18 percent premium-payback club is the smallest since the IRC started the survey in 1981.
I pad, you pad
Who is most likely to pad a home insurance claim? The survey suggests that men between 18 and 34 have the least trouble with the practice (23 percent), while their female contemporaries (8 percent) and older men (5 percent) would be least likely to pad a claim.
The deductible remains the great conundrum of the insurance world. On the one hand, it's one of the industry's strongest sales tools because it can magically adjust premiums downward to close the deal. On the other, it seems terribly egregious when it protects a large insurer from paying a small claim, even if most of us see the merit of insurers using deductibles to discourage nickel-and-diming, thus keeping our rates affordable.
Deductibles falling out of favor?
While deductibles remain sacrosanct in the homeowners insurance realm, some auto insurance companies, notably Allstate, have recently been capitalizing on this love-hate dichotomy by marketing "vanishing deductible" programs that reduce your deductible for each claim-free year, ostensibly as a loyalty reward.
Never mind that some carriers tack on a nominal fee to pull off this sleight of hand. The point is that consumers respond to the idea that they can enjoy their deductible cake (the premium-savings part) without having to eat it (pay for their own losses) later.

Like many other MMOGs, RuneScape faces issues related to the selling of in-game gold and items. As you can see in this diary posted last week, developer and publisher Jagex is very much against this practice, which it calls real-world trading. While most of the fairly lengthy piece was pretty standard stuff like talking about how farmers, bots et al ruin other players' experience, what I found interesting was the unusual counter-measure introduced almost at the end.
What the company has done is to implement systems that block most unbalanced trading. While I haven't checked out the specific restrictions, the basic idea is that characters can only exchange items with approximately equivalent values. It seems there are provisions that allow a limited amount of gift-giving, so friends and guildmates will still be able to help each other out, although presumably to a lesser extent than before.
This concept seems reasonable enough, but I wonder how well it can actually be implemented. Naturally, rumblings about aspects players didn't like started almost immediately. The team is making adjustments, and can continue to do so, which means it's not really fair to do a snapshot evaluation. So, this is a situation I'll be watching with interest to see how it evolves and also how well the player community accepts and adapts to the system.
This blog is completely personal. Although I may discuss matters relating to RPG Vault, Vault Network and/or IGN, the opinions expressed are mine alone, and do not represent any of them in any manner.

boxing • Juan Manuel Marquez knocked Manny Pacquiao out cold with a vicious right hand at the end of the sixth round Saturday night in Las Vegas, putting a ferocious end to the fourth fight between the two boxers.
Pacquiao had been down in the third round but knocked Marquez down in the fifth and the two were exchanging heavy blows in the sixth round before Marquez threw a right hand that flattened Pacquiao face down on the canvas at 2:59 of the sixth round.
The referee waved the fight to an end as Marquez celebrated and the sold-out crowd at the MGM erupted. Pacquiao was down for about two minutes before his handlers managed to get him up.
It was Marquez's first victory against Pacquiao, after a draw and two losses.
Henderson wins main event
MMA • Benson Henderson came home and impressively retained the UFC lightweight championship Saturday night in Seattle during UFC on Fox, unanimously outpointing a flustered Nate Diaz. Henderson controlled the main event from the start, just a few miles from where he grew up in Federal Way. With the partisan crowd chanting Henderson's name throughout the fight, he took a decisive 50-43, 50-45 and 50-45 decision, his second successful title defense.
Prior to the main event, rising Canadian star Rory MacDonald took apart former champion B.J. Penn in a decisive unanimous decision.
U.S. women shut out China
soccer • Carli Lloyd and Sydney Leroux scored in the second half, and the U.S. women's soccer team beat China 2-0 in Detroit to remain unbeaten on its post-Olympic tour. Lloyd broke a scoreless tie in the 50th minute, taking a pass from Tobin Heath near the edge of the penalty area, cutting to her left and beating goalie Zhang Yue to the near post from about 12 yards. Leroux added an insurance goal in the 84th minute.
Alex Morgan was credited with an assist to Leroux to become only the second player in team history to reach at least 20 goals and 20 assists in one year. Mia Hamm was the other, in 1998.
Perry, O'Hair lead Shootout
GOLF • Kenny Perry and Sean O'Hair took a two-stroke lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Fla., birdieing the final six holes in better-ball play for an 11-under 61.
Perry and O'Hair were 19 under overall, two strokes ahead of first-round leaders Davis Love III and Brandt Snedeker at Tiburon Golf Club. Love and Snedeker had a 65.
The 12 two-man teams will play a scramble Sunday. The winners will split $750,000.
• Australian John Senden took a three-stroke lead in the Australian Open, making an eagle and two birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine en route to a 2-under 70. Senden, the 2006 champion, had a three-round total of 7-under 209 in tough, windy conditions at The Lakes in Sydney.

PHOTO: Ice Cube's name appears on Goodyear blimp
Listen to Ice Cube on iHeartRadio
Ice Cube may have rapped about having his name on the Goodyear Blimp on "It Was a Good Day," but now his words have become a reality.
Following a savvy charity fundraising campaign by the Good Day Blimp project, the rapper's name was displayed on the iconic Goodyear Blimp in Los Angeles on Monday.
The group challenged internet users to raise $25,000 with the promise that if Goodyear flew the rapper's name they would donate the money to the youth charity A Place Called Home.
After the money was raised, Goodyear came through and even got Ice Cube to sign on and make an appearance.

Has anyone found a good black recipe for BLACK ink using some bottled ink (Calligraphy maybe?) I use about 60 black pens, 72% Rubbing Alcohol, DOT3, and super glue but im sick of the purple ish hue.
Has anyone found a good black recipe for BLACK ink using some bottled ink (Calligraphy maybe?) I use about 60 black pens, 72% Rubbing Alcohol, DOT3, and super glue but im sick of the purple ish hue.
pour it all inside your mouth and gargle 100% purification process
100+++ black pens(The more the better), a jar of pilot black (find it at a decent art store), 3/4 cup 99% alc, or naptha(i prefer PVC primer but its purple, stains good though). No dot 3, no glue.
Calligraphy ink in mostly water based, there are a few alc based ones out there though.
You could also look into black opaque dyes. leather dye or seat belt/auto dye works well.
And to get the most out of pen ink, always let them sit in the alc or chem as long as possible, i also suspend them above the bottom of the jar so i get more out and its easier to clean up. and i use just a tiny bit (enough to cover the bottom of the jar about 1/2 an inch) add alittle more alc over the pen cases (you can rubber band them together and put a stick through em to suspend them) to wash the remaining ink down.
With 100+ pens it should be more of a sludge before you add your other inks and what not.

will 70% alcohol skew my results?
i actually found a way to put india ink to good use but its in paint not ink you can also take the ink u get from the pens this paint will be way more permanent than the that other stuff
-gray latex paint (or any bucket paint)
-india ink
-sanford roll on stamp pad ink
-dot 3 brake fluid
-paint thinner
but then again its not ink but if u r serious about getting up this stuff lasts way longer than pen ink if u want to kno the actual recipe hit me up on my profile
Your Freindly Neighborhood Monster.
heres my workspace and all my Roosters Brew ink (copy right) im no toy but im willing to help
Your Freindly Neighborhood Monster.
Is Kiwi leather dye any good to throw in the mix? \
70% is not as good but it works. i wouldnt like to use it though. But maybe its just piece of mind.
Monster - your in Denton? im in Lewisville.. Anywho, what good does dot 3 do in a paint mixture. none that im aware of. Its purpose in ink is to extend drying time to let dyes set for stains. And you want paint to dry quicker... And by adding ink to paint your really just tinting the paint... And its permanent because its paint... It can be painted over. Many inks bleed through new paint. So i dont see how thats any better than any other any other paint or method.
Not trying to hate or call you out just askin. And are you thinning the hell out of it so itll run through a nib or just using mops?
And if you wanna get serious about long lasting and hardcore inks you should make a bitumen ink.
-And yes Leather dyes are effective. there dyes tho there meant to stain. Some people add dot 3 (a tiny bit) some dont. Ive never really used it and ive made some serious inks that have lasted just fine outdoors and in.

HERBN & MONSTER- lol im from dfw area! Well like 30 min out but not to far from downtown fort worth. But im there all the time
Theres a couple diff ways. it kinda complicated but its been talked about on here plenty before. Do a search.
im useing gray paint and the ink to make it darker dot 3 eats through paint wich is good for dumpsters and green electric boxes and yes its super thin and drips awesomely
Your Freindly Neighborhood Monster.
hahahhaahahah faggot
fuk u u dnt even hav any flicks up u cant fuk with in this graff shit so tighten up aight
Your Freindly Neighborhood Monster.
i like to throw a little bit of leather dye or cloth dye in my home made inks it helps stain almost everything. it also makes it a bit thinner for better drips if you use premixed leather dye
Heavy Dyes also tend to bleed through paint as well.
So I made my first mop out of an eye dropper some sponge stuff for the nib and some latex paint and water I had laying around what can I add to it to make it streak less

Prabal Gurung Fall 2012
A moment here to take stock of the current position of New York Fashion Week, and the transformation it's undergone in the space of a decade. In the frantic rush to critique who's doing what season by season, it's easy to forget how, ten years back, just after 9/11, there was virtually no young designer scene in New York. Proenza Schouler was just starting out, and that was it. Those who were struggling to find a place amongst the senior establishment giants were in no position to even dream of connecting with an international audience, which would be actively seeking their clothes and listening to their point of view. Now, in spite of the recession, there are dreams in New York—dreams which are hitting critical mass for a whole new generation of talent set on a course of daring and expansion. This season, that quantum leap is really hitting home: designers like Joseph Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Prabal Gurung, who have stepped over the threshold into a global era where they're stretching themselves with an American ambition not seen since Donna, Calvin, and Ralph were new.
The scale of Prabal Gurung's show is a perfect illustration of that generational jump in confidence. As a runner-up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund who's being mentored by Carolina Herrera, he added pre-collections to his business in 2011, has been appointed chief designer at ICB, and doubled the number of stores he's selling to, from 30 to 60. Just as an indication: Lane Crawford's Sarah Rutson told Vogue.com that her Chinese customers e-mailed her clamoring for looks hours after his spring show. What he now knows: "Chinese customers love beautiful, well-made, intricate stuff."
So Gurung upped the ante for fall, showing an extensive collection which ranged from sharp tailoring in black, sliced with black patent leather and elaborately worked fur, through printed and embellished dresses in blues, and on into beaded gowns and red-carpet dramatics. From the point of view of range, it demonstrated his ability to cover bases, and his skills in cutting—narrow, etiolated neoprene pants, great coats, slashed sleeves, and stiff, gored skirts. He is also increasingly masterful at constructing a modern beaded dress—a sheer dress, embroidered with jet, worn by Joan Smalls, was stunning.
Yet for any young designer making his or her way in the world, there's also the question of coherence of vision to be attended to. Balanced against the understandable optimism stimulated by his growing market, what Gurung still has to learn is the discipline of editing and self-interrogation. At his stage of the game, with the world's knowing eyes upon him, anything which shows the influence of other designers should hit the cutting room floor (an indebtedness to Riccardo Tisci was inescapable this season). Sometimes, the fact is that it displays even greater confidence to show less and condense more. As he steps up to the next level, this sensitive and skilled talent needs to speak with his own purely original voice. From what we saw today, it's clear he has that potential.

'"There's been no ill effects from practicing. He's gone full-go. He's gone through battle drills. He had no headaches, stuff like that. There have been no side effects to exercise. Normally, what sets a guy back is he will have headaches or he won't feel right, or he may feel dizzy or lightheaded, but Jason has had none of that, so it's a little bit of a different area for us."'

Belgian Royalties-Collection Society to Charge Volunteers Who Read to Kids
I can't say it any better than they did on thenextweb.com, so I'll just link to the original blog post.
But in short, SABAM, a Belgian organization responsible for collecting royalties owed to music composers, authors and publishers has begun contacting libraries in Belgium, demanding they be paid royalty fees every time a volunteer reads books to children.
No, seriously. Read the whole article and be stunned.
What blows my mind is not only the colossal, almost cartoonish greed, eclipsing Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch (both fictional bogeymen, at that) put together, but also the astounding short-sightednesses of it all. When we read books to kids, we help instil a love of books in them, and thereby create a booklover. A booklover who will one day have money of their own, and buy books.

Many of Santa's helpers rode motorcycles and motorized tricycles from Levy County through Gilchrist and on to Dixie County this past Saturday afternoon.
The Barney Fife Memorial Toys for Tots Run on Nov. 17 included about 150 bikers and trikers driving their vehicles from Bell's Family Restaurant in Chiefland to Charlie's Bar and Grill near Cross City.
The 20-mile long ride is a charity effort, which is part of a program to bring gifts to needy children in the Tri-County Area. It was the third year these riders helped the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program.

Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood returning to Nashville
Listen to Garth Brooks on iHeartradio | Listen to Trisha Yearwood on iHeartRadio
A couple of country stars are plotting their return to Music City.
Trisha Yearwood tells CMT.com that she and husband Garth Brooks are relocating to Nashville. And she says she's looking forward to the move. The singer explains that Nashville has "an energy" that she loves and misses. She adds that being in Nashville "makes sense," admitting that "it's been a bit of a challenge" to have to "fly in and out for work."
Yearwood has no regrets about the time they've spent in Oklahoma. She says she's loved living there, and it was "the right thing" to do for their family. But Trisha says it's now time for them "to do the next thing," which is taking them back to Nashville.
Garth is planning to relaunch his touring career with a world tour this fall. The country superstar has a five-night run of shows scheduled in Ireland as a warm-up for the trek. He'll stage the "Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event" at Dublin's Croke Park from July 25th through the 29th.

USC professor pursues passions for law, history
Contact: Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-7704
All we ask is equal rights. It's the title of a website that details the history and contributions of African Americans who have served as state representatives, judges and lawmakers in South Carolina from Reconstruction to the present.
Created by Lewis Burke, a professor in the School of Law at the University of South Carolina, the website is a precursor to a book that Burke is writing on the history of black lawyers in South Carolina.
"The first African-American lawyers in South Carolina were admitted to the Bar and elected to the Legislature in 1868," Burke said. "That fact alone is virtually unknown to most people in this state. More importantly, I feel that we owe it to the memory of these brave individuals that their record of service be accessible to anyone. A website seemed like the best way to accomplish that."
Launched in late May, the "All we ask is equal rights" website is a work in progress. In addition to lists of officials, judges and lawyers, it features dozens of biographical sketches and photos.
Among those highlighted is William J. Whipper who, along with Jonathan Jasper and Robert Brown Elliott, was one of the first African Americans admitted to the S.C. Bar during Reconstruction, Burke said.
As a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention in 1868, Whipper helped ratify a constitution for South Carolina that established the state's first public schools, guaranteed civil rights for all citizens and gave all men 21 and older the right to vote. Pretty revolutionary times, Burke said.
"Reconstruction was a gut-wrenching time for everyone," he said. "It was the dragging of South Carolina into modern times. Whipper, Wright and Elliott were helping to construct a new society." The site also features a biographical sketch of the late Judge Matthew Perry, whom Burke wrote about in a book titled "Matthew J. Perry: The Man, His Times and His Legacy," which was published in 2004 by USC Press.
"From a historical perspective, Matthew Perry had a greater impact on this state than any other lawyer, white or black," Burke said. "As the leading civil rights lawyer in South Carolina, his work transformed our society and made our state a better and more tolerant place to live for all the people."
Burke, who directs the clinical legal education program and teaches courses on trial advocacy and alternative dispute resolution, said he was motivated to begin the project by frustration and a love of history.
"It was frustrating to me to hear people get South Carolina's legal history wrong or to not be aware of the contributions made by black lawyers in our state," Burke said. "I wanted them to know the correct history."
Burke's quest began in the 1990s when he was associate dean of USC's law school and was often asked the name of the school's first black graduate. His book, "At Freedom's Door," published by USC Press in 2000, helped answer the question. The first black graduate was Walter Raleigh, who finished in 1874.
He continued his research, and soon he had amassed a trove of history.
In 2007, he helped organize a conference on the subject of black congressmen and judges. The event prompted him to begin working on the website because he quickly recognized that it could become a resource for students, law professionals and others to learn about the history and legacy of African-American lawyers and lawmakers.

The dangers of marijuana have often been exaggerated for reasons best known to some sections of the society. Even though marijuana is one of the most useful plants known to the mankind, it has never received the recognition it always deserved. In this piece of information, we will be accessing some of the common marijuana facts and myths and find out if marijuana has been a lethal drug and whether deaths from marijuana use (as projected by some) are actually true.
One will be surprised to note that there have been NO deaths from marijuana use till date. While the number of annual deaths related to firearms in the U.S. is approximately 29,000, deaths related to use of prescription drugs in the country is estimated to be 32,000, the number of deaths related to alcohol is 85,000 on an annual basis, and the number of deaths related to marijuana use is surprisingly ZERO. And, it is still considered to be lethal.
The other surprising thing to note is that not a single case of death has been recorded ever across the world that can be attributed to the use of marijuana, which nullifies dangers of marijuana.
According to the records of The US Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), marijuana alone has not been shown to cause an overdose death.

Fordham Law Summer ProgramsJuly 29, 2013
Fordham Law's Office of International and Non-J.D. Programs offered six legal programs this summer, attracting legal professionals from all over the world who bolstered their knowledge and skills in various areas of law and legal practice. In addition, participants had the chance to broaden their professional networks by meeting colleagues from the United States and around the world. Assistant Dean Toni Jaeger-Fine, who directs these programs, said, "Our summer programs are so enriching because they bring to our campus professionals and students from a wide range of experiences and traditions."
From May 15–24, Fordham Law welcomed a delegation of 22 judges from Brazil's Escola Nacional da Magistura for the International Judicial Research and Training Program. The program introduced the participants to various aspects of U.S. substantive and procedural law, including class action litigation, and matters of judicial administration, such as selection, accountability, and independence. The group made visits to the law firm Duane Morris, small claims court, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, CPR: The International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, and Washington D.C., where they attended briefings at the Federal Judicial Center and the Supreme Court. Classes were taught by Fordham Law Professors Ethan J. Leib and Howard Erichson among others.
In June, the same program attracted 30 judges and court officials from the Centro de Estudos Judiciários of Pernambuco, Brazil. This group visited the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York, the law firm King & Spalding, John Jay College's Center for Crime Prevention and Control, and the 9/11 Memorial. Fordham Law Professor Joseph Landau taught a class on class actions and other complex litigation while Professor Benjamin Zipursky taught tort law. Participants also learned about copyright law, constitutional torts, and privacy and data security, among other topics.
From June 9–14, Fordham Law, in collaboration with Legal Practice International, held a specialized program titled Business Law in Practice for Transnational Lawyers, which brought 10 lawyers and law students from Brazil to the Law School. The program consisted of classes taught by Toni Jaeger-Fine, Assistant Dean of International and Non-J.D. Programs, and Professor Sean Griffith, T.J. Maloney Chair in Business Law and Director of the Fordham Corporate Law Center. The attendees also visited two law firms—Ladas & Parry and Patterson Belknap—where they heard presentations on U.S. law firm practice.
Fordham Law's inaugural Corporate Compliance Institute, held from July 8–26, attracted 27 participants, who learned the basic aspects of compliance and the role of the corporate compliance office in implementing and evaluating programs designed to comply with statutory, regulatory, and company rules, and disseminating of such programs among management. This intensive compliance training program, run by Professor Sean J. Griffith and Executive Director Carole Basri, included site visits to Morgan Stanley, Jones Day, J.P. Morgan, and Bloomberg. Attendees heard from top executives at leading businesses, including Time Warner, American Express, Dell, IBM, Citigroup, MasterCard, and many prominent law firms. Topics explored included risk assessment, attorney-client privilege, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, global codes of conduct, crisis management, deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements, and corporate social responsibility.
The Seventh Annual Fordham Law Summer Institute saw Fordham Law's largest group to date, with 126 participants from 29 countries. From July 8–26, the group of foreign-trained lawyers and students were introduced to the U.S. legal system with classes taught by a range of Fordham Law professors. The program also offered workshops on contract drafting and negotiation, legal research, legal writing, and litigation documents. In addition, the group visited the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York and the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
Fifty-five international lawyers and students from 15 countries arrived at Fordham Law on July 14 for the Third Annual Recent Developments in U.S. Law. The group, the largest in the program's history, was welcomed by keynote speaker Eric Grossman '93, Chief Legal Officer of Morgan Stanley, and attended lectures on international arbitration, litigation management, cross-border mergers & acquisitions, IP law, antitrust law, among other topics. Lectures were held at the prominent New York law firms White & Case, Skadden, Davis Polk, Ladas & Parry, McDermott Will & Emery, Moses & Singer, and Morrison Foerster. Participants were able to network with local attorneys who enthusiastically discussed developments in their fields of expertise. Affiliates of the program included the New York State Bar Association and the International Section of the American Bar Association.

Fire up the barbecue and hit the beach. Sydneysiders can expect a clear, warm start to Australia Day, but revellers have been urged to get outdoors early before showers and possible thunderstorms strike in the afternoon.
The mercury is set to climb to a top of 28 degrees in the city and 32 in the west on Saturday, suggesting it will be a good day for a barbecue lunch.
Other parts of NSW will be hotter, with Bourke expected to hit 39 degrees, Dubbo 36 degrees and Wagga Wagga 35 degrees.
Weatherzone meteorologist Melissa MacKellar said, after reaching a top of 28 degrees in Sydney on Friday, the city is expected to cool to a low of 22 degrees on Friday night before a mostly sunny Australia Day morning.
"Some cloud will build during the day, and we could see some afternoon showers and even possibly thunderstorms," she said.
"We are also going to see north-easterly winds which will be moderate to fresh at times, so it will be a little bit breezy.
"If you want to head to the beach, I would suggest going in the morning because we will see the cloud building and possibly some showers during the afternoon."
According to some weather modelling, the showers could start in Sydney from 3pm, before heavier rain that night.
"A low pressure trough will be crossing NSW on Saturday and that's going to bring instability and the chance of thunderstorms for much of the central and southern ranges and parts of south-eastern NSW as well," Ms MacKellar said.
Cloudy conditions and scattered showers with the chance of thunderstorms are forecast in Sydney for Sunday, with a top of 26 degrees.
Similar conditions are expected on the Australia Day public holiday on Monday, with a top of 25 degrees forecast for the city.
A spokesperson for the NSW Transport Management Centre said hundreds of additional trains and buses would be running in Sydney to transport an estimated 500,000 people into the city for Australia Day celebrations.
"With so many people heading into the city and extensive road closures in place, public transport is the best way to get there, especially as the extra services will run into the early hours of Sunday morning," the spokesperson said.
"There will be trains every 10-15 minutes on most lines, with Circular Quay, Town Hall and Wynyard the nearest train stations to all the action."
Special event clearways will be in place throughout the CBD, The Rocks, Circular Quay, Pyrmont and Ultimo. Motorists have been warned to check signs before parking or their vehicle could be towed away.
Roads in The Rocks will be closed from 4am until 10pm on Australia Day, while some roads in the CBD will be closed between 5am and 6pm. Roads around Darling Harbour will be closed from 8pm until 11pm for a fireworks display at 8.40pm.
Some of the major roads affected include Macquarie Street, College Street, Hunter Street, Alfred Street, George Street, Hickson Road, Bathurst Street and Sussex Street.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by 5Stars, Feb 17, 2013.
Not as many years as you but until I see it on the field I feel the same way.
Ah the good ole "Everything wrong with the world is Jerry's fault" post. Never gets old
It almost makes you wonder if a player in the NFL today with free agency, salary cap and concussions really care if they make it into the playoffs anymore.
unfortunately as long as front office is intact...its going to be more of the same. I think alot of people where pinning their hopes on cowboys maybe 'catching lightening in bottle' but that theory has proven to be unrealistic. You have to create your good fortunes by making smart, consistent decisions.
No change is coming, sorry to spoil the movies ending, but it isn't going to be pretty until Garrett & Family get canned, and a real coach is here. Sorry !
I have great optimism for the defense... But I think the offense will remain the same. I for see us ignoring the oline again and paying for it
There is no if he has an ego. Everything I heard on sports radio was he has huge ego.
pray tell, what is the one common denominator throughout this whole period of sucktitude and mediocrity? I'll give you a hint, it isn't the QB(s) or the coach(es)
There has been no more crabby, moody, curmudgeony fan than me for the past 5+ years about this diseased-ridden clown-act of a football organization.
But I've been optimistic for about two years now, and I think 2013 has some very nice things in store for us. Ignore the media; they are the most clueless among us these days. Today's reporters are lazier than they've ever been. Not an original thought among them.
The roster is now a collection of RKGs who can handle Jerry's spurts of dementia and his over-meddling ways. This ain't Tank, Pacman, TO, Roy OU, Roy UT....with pudgy Wade riding herd over them.
Gone are the old has-beens, thanks to Garrett.
The Cowboys have a collection of very young and very good players. Now, they have to address the glaring needs of offensive line, and defensive if possible. This Corvette can't run without motor oil.
I love that they've switched to the the 4-3 as well and replaced the sloppy Ryan with TWO defensive coordinators.
Things are coming together.
You're right because Jerry tells the corner,wr's and qb's how to play...when to get burnt,when to drop passes, and throw ints ect...
Yeah because Jerry never takes a coaches advice, just signs anybody and everybody that he wants, he goes and watches espn highlights like most do here, and gains his knowledge of players that way.
For years posters have been complaining that one of the best ways to improve a team in a slalary-cap league structure is to improve the coaching, since that is not tied to the cap.
The team has done just that and this place is still complaiing. Rediculous!
I agree with the OP. This team has been on the right track and is continuing in that upward direction.
I believe this team WILL "break thruogh" in 2013 and be a real force, and I base that in the positive changes I've seen so far and the player upgrades that are coming, especially to hte OL, and the re-signing of Spencer which I belive will happen.
Garrett says all the right things, but the proof is in the pudding. This is his last year if we don't get a playoff win.
If quality of interviews is an indicator of future success it's a wonder Cricket Anderson and Lawrence Vickers were such disappointments here.
you could well be right and i hope that you are
No bout adoubt it, stoopid is as stupid DOES.
I do not know what the future will bring.
But this I do know. Too many times people have made predictions, or had feelings, or contacted their Ouija boards and come away with this next season will be different.
I hope it will be different, as well.
But your comment about people or this specific person degrading the team or anyone who professes good time being just around the corner ignores both the end results and the people who have been expressing doubts during those lean times.
There are people so quick to label those who are in a wait and see mode as negative.
I think my stance is show me.
Show me these coaches will change the players who have under achieved for far too long.
Don't give me a laundry list of excuses why they didn't achieve before. That is merely your opinion.
Show me.
And I don't give a rat's butt if that hair lips the governor, I am not budging off this until this team turns a corner and is not a flash in the pan.
So perhaps the negative you see is people tired of the same ole same ole and are just saying it emphatically...
Show Me
Common denominator.
The way a coach and the way a player give an interview are two entirely different things. I think you know this, but for some reason are giving this veiled response trying to stir something up. What is the point of that?
Why ask the question when the answer was already in my response?
Giving good interviews where you stay on message isn't an indicator of anything, unless the NFL moves to some sort of non-win-based point system wherein we receive bonuses for our coaches "giving good interviews". That is the entire premise of this thread - sensing something good is coming based on interviews. Hooray all our coaches are well-spoken. Maybe if this NFL thing doesn't work out they can form a debate team and tour the nation.

Next thing someone in the Dodgers' organization might want to invest in is a "safe word."
You know, for another one of those crazy moments when things just get a little out of hand, and the phrase "maybe we should stop now" doesn't quite register in all the screaming and yelling.
It's for that time when someone in lower-upper management sees another somewhat familiar name available on the free-agent list, then shouts it out to his boss so he looks like he's been paying attention to the memo that asks everyone for new ways to spend Guggenheim money. Then someone else jumps on the process of over-evaluation, sending someone else in the marketing department to begin filing paperwork to plan the ways the championship parade route can go through downtown, because it's never too early.
It was Dodgers GM Ned Colletti, apparently instructed to spend as if the team believed in the Mayan calendar, who told reporters at Tuesday's news conference during the signing of Zack Greinke: "We're pretty much where we're going to be budgetarily ... unless something jumps out at us that's too good to say no to."
Slopetarily, this can get very slippery. Steinbrenner slippery, in fact.
Why not have someone volunteer now in the Dodger Stadium offices to assume the role of designated hollerer, the one who might not sign payroll checks, but becomes the keeper of the reality checks?
And, really, there are lots of safe words to come up with.
May we suggest "Uribe"? Or "Dreifort"?
What about "Schmidt"?
No need to pay us for that suggestion. We're just playing with house money, too.
What'll happen now when someone in the MLB front office informs the Dodgers' key accountants that, no, all that TV money you thought would be yours is really going into the revenue sharing pool, because that's just how we roll our coins?
So someone like Josh Hamilton, with a ton of personal demons, is going to find solace in a city of Angels?
Considering the title of R.A. Dickey's book, "Wherever I Wind Up" ... why wouldn't the Mets deal away the '12 NL Cy Youngin' to the Angels for Peter Bourjos, Garrett Richards ... and Jim Fregosi?
How does TMZ get all the meaty interviews with Phil Jackson describing how screwed up the Lakers have become?
If "Coach" Dave Miller has all the answers, why haven't the Lakers hired him to sit on their bench yet?
In the Associated Press' "Pro32" NFL power rankings, Oakland (3-10) is tied with Kansas City (2-11) for the No.30 spot, and the two unfortunately have to face each other Sunday. Remember when a Raiders-Chiefs game meant something more than just who would be the one to hit bottom first?
Have they ever held a CIF state championship football title weekend in Carson without it raining?

Mt. Baker opened Thursday November 12th with the deepest opening base in the history of Mt. Baker!! The 64 inches of fresh white fluffy stuff, attracted boarders from near and far to enjoy and share this much-anticipated day.
Here's a photo gallery from TWS contributing photographer Ashley Barker's visit…
Although the mountain offers a little something for everyone: hit runs, small park, a snake run, kiddy groomers, and cat tracks, it's famous for it's steep ass inbounds terrain, and endless access to it's backcountry lovers' paradise. The people here a real friendly and the scenes are breathtaking, and it's no secret why this hill is home mountain to a handful of snowboardings' finest pro boarders.
Come to Baker on a pow day and you will never want to leave.

He hopped into the theatre like a kangaroo, and now Hugh Jackman has left Tony Awards viewers scratching their heads by rapping a popular show tune.
In his fourth outing as Tony Awards host, Jackman tried his hand at staging a one-man version of classic musical, The Music Man. But as he spun the quick-paced lyrics to one of the show's popular tunes, the X-Men star decided to enlist the help of rappers LL Cool J and TI to rap the rest.
Wrapping the segment, Jackman even joked about his new rapping moniker: Biggie Tap Shoes.
"I think Wolverine is having a breakdown," viewer Andi McLellan tweeted. Another quipped that Jackman should leave the rapping to the professionals because he was Les Miserables at it.
Meanwhile, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton seemed sum up what many fans were feeling with: "What am I watching right now?"
But others seemed to appreciate the silliness of the rap spoof. "This is theatre blasphemy but I can't stop laughing. Mostly because rap with an Australian accent is funny," said Brittany Berger.
Jackman's hosting performance appears to be dividing viewers on Twitter, with his opening dance routine also leaving some cold.
The energetic host opened the show by jumping through New York's Radio City Music Hall foyer, down the stairs and into the auditorium, high-fiving audience members on the way to the stage.
He then bounced backstage to greet guests including Sting, Neil Patrick Harris and the casts of Aladdin, Cabaret, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder and the stage musical revival of Les Miserables.
The cast of After Midnight followed with a rendition of jazz standard Sunny Side of the Street.
Jackman had been teasing fans in the lead up to the ceremony, posting videos of himself "bouncing" through his daily routine.
Explaining the sequence, choreographer Warren Carlyle said it was a homage to Bobby Van's bopping routine from 1953 musical, Small Town Girl.
"One of the things I love about Hugh is how physical he is," Carlyle said. "He loves to dance."
Fans on Twitter welcomed the high energy routine as they watched the awards show kick off.
"I don't care if #HughJackman is clawing mutants, raising orphans, arm wrestling or dancing, he can do no wrong," viewer Toby Williams quipped.
Another seemed impressed by the Wolverine star's "strong legs", given the strenuous nature of the opening routine.
But not everyone was impressed.
"Jumping does not an opening make," Blake Erickson tweeted.
Earlier in the day, Jackman had posted a shot of his pre-show sushi to Instagram, including an a sneaky Wolverine comic cameo in the background.
He even received well-wishes from another Australian in showbiz, television host Rove McManus.
"All the best to @RealHughJackman for tonight's #TonyAwards," McManus tweeted.
"Don't let your immense talent, popularity & extreme good looks make you nervous."
This is the fourth time Jackman has hosted the Tony Awards.

If Scott Disick was the responsible adult last night when he took 16-year-old Kylie and 17-year-old Kendall Jenner to a 21-and-over nightclub, Kris oughta be plenty worried, because he was off the hinges earlier in the night, reports TMZ.
According to TMZ, Scott was at a Style Fashion Week L.A. event earlier in the evening with Kylie and Kendall. He was drinking and acting belligerent ... to the point where one of the models flipped him off.
At the end of the show, Scott grabbed the designer, Cedric Benaroch, and almost pulled him off the runway.

Eating frozen seafood used to seem like a punishment. But with today's technology, the fish you pull from your freezer is delicious, nutritious, more economical, and often better for the environment—and fishermen—than fresh-caught seafood.
Why Buy Frozen?
• Reduce your environmental impact. Fresh fish has to be shipped by air to reach most consumers; frozen can be freighted by ship, rail, or truck with significantly lower environmental impact.
• Keep fishermen safer. Without the urgent pressure to deliver fresh fish immediately, fishermen can have a safer time line in which to bring their catch from sea to table. They also can choose to fish only in the best conditions.
• Reduce waste in processing. By freezing fish at sea, fishermen can use economies of scale to consolidate processing, adding value with volume to the total utilization of the fish.
• Use only what you need. By pulling from the freezer exactly the amount you need—when you need it—you avoid wasting highly perishable fresh fish.
• Get the best seafood year-round. Taste and nutrition are locked in when fish is frozen at sea, and you're never restricted to just what's available fresh today.
How to Store Frozen Seafood
Most of the seafood you buy frozen comes prepackaged in a vacuum-sealed bag. Store it in your freezer for up to five months. Do not refreeze, as you will lose quality.
How to Thaw Frozen Seafood
Thaw frozen seafood in the refrigerator overnight, placing it in a dish to catch any water that melts off. Avoid thawing at room temperature or in warm water, as it will negatively affect the texture.

GOP Shies Away From Obamacare Repeal
JUPITER, Florida — Beverly Hires, a former nurse running for Congress here in one of the nation's rare competitive House races, ticks off her problems with the federal health care law: higher premiums, cancelled policies and employers cutting full-time jobs.
"The Affordable Care Act is not making insurance more affordable," she said in an interview, citing many of the same criticisms as her five GOP opponents in the Aug. 26 primary, who are vying for the chance to oust first-term Democrat Rep. Patrick Murphy.
Hires' messaging on Obamacare in this South Florida district targeted by the GOP tracks a pattern around the country as Republican candidates follow a focus-group tested script recommended by pollsters.
"The messages that work best are succinct, clear statements about the effects of Obamacare on consumers directly," by increasing costs, taxes and taking away jobs, said Whit Ayres, president of North Star Opinion Research, a Republican polling group that's surveyed likely voters to determine the best way to attack Obamacare.
Heading into the first congressional election since millions of Americans gained coverage under the health law, many Republican candidates are taking a more nuanced approach to how they criticize the law. Rather than just calling for repeal, they are following Ayres' recommendations to focus on arguments about how the law is hurting consumers, government budgets or the economy.
And while political ads on television are still common, the number of new ads about the law has declined since spring when the administration rebounded from the troubled launch of healthcare.gov, said Elizabeth Wilner, senior vice president for Kantar Media Intelligence in New York, a nonpartisan group that tracks political advertising.
"Obamacare is no longer front and center in the way it was earlier this year and late last year," she said. "It remains an issue, but it's no longer the only one."
She cited other frequently mentioned topics such as government spending and the economy.
'Playing To The Base'
While most GOP candidates continue talking about the health care law to rally the base, attacking it is no longer seen as winning over new voters since most people have made up their minds about it, say political analysts.
"Opposing Obamacare is a reinforcing issue that helps re-energize their base of voters but it does not move a lot of new voters to them," said G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics & Public Affairs at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa.
Despite a shift in how they talk about the law, there's no sign GOP candidates are going soft on it, analysts say.
"Remember, this is a midterm with low turnout," said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "Candidates on both sides are playing to their base and hoping for a large boost from them in fundraising and votes. You don't accomplish that by watering down the message."

Fast selection of lots of elements from a large list
I've been using Mathematica to perform cluster analysis on a data set with about 600,000 rows and 60 columns. I've had the FindCluster procedure return a unique row identifier (12 character string) rather than the clustered data because I want to "join" these results to another data set for further analysis. To accomplish this I've been using the Position function to identify the element numbers in each cluster.
To give a specific example, my cluster analysis identifiers twevle clusters on my original data set. The first of these clusters contains about 15,000 row identifiers. The extract the corresponding data from other data sets, I find the position of each identifier in my original data set using the simple code
q=clusterResults[[1]]; (* row id's for first cluster *)
where, "rowIDs" are the first column from the other dataset that contain the same string identifiers (rowIDs has about 600,000 sublists). I then Extract these elements ("rows") from the data set and continue my analysis.
Unfortunately this is quite slow. Doing this on a sample of 1000 elements requires 340 seconds on my desktop computer. Some of my clusters have many tens of thousands of elements. I'm hoping someone can suggest a faster way of doing this.

President Obama's Dramatic Reading of 'Where the Wild Things Are' Is Delightful
During the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, President Obama performed a dramatic reading of 'Where the Wild Things Are'—and it's marvelous!
-Lucia Peters
Bettys, are you familiar with the concept of an Easter Egg Roll? Apparently it's an Easter amusement which consists of children pushing an egg through the grass with a long-handled spoon racing, all in an attempt see who can reach the finish line first with their egg intact. I was unaware that this game existed until today, but apparently, the White House has been holding Easter Egg Rolls for children on the Monday after Easter every year since 1814 (we have President James Madison's First Lady, Dolley Madison, to thank for it). Who knew?
Anyway, this year as part of the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll, President Obama took some time out of the race to perform a dramatic reading of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are—and it is positively delightful. Watch it here!
I think the teeth gnashing is my favorite part, largely because the Wild Things apparently make a "ng, ng, ng" sound when they do it (at least, according to the President). The noises of a wild rumpus are also pretty great, though. Well done, Mr. President! Well done, indeed!
Read Look, Everyone! Ellen Was in 'Titanic!'
And you know what's even better? This isn't the first time Obama has done a dramatic reading of the book. In fact, it's been an annual tradition at the White House Easter Egg Roll since Obama's first year in office. How I have managed to miss this wonderful occurrence every year for the past four years is a complete and utter mystery, but for the curious, here's 2009's reading:
And here's 2011's, as done by the President's eldest daughter, Malia:
Which reading do you think is the best one, Bettys? My vote is going towards 2011's, but that's mostly because it gets bonus points for the inclusion of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (I used to love that one when I was a wee little one).
P.S. If you haven't seen Stephen Colbert's interview with Maurice Sendak, I highly suggest that you go and watch it immediately. Part one can be found here, and part two can be found here.
Never underestimate the value of reading aloud!

Knight M110C
The M110C is the latest version of the Knight M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) is the U.S. Army's latest medium-caliber sniper rifle. There are also reports that the United States Marine Corps will soon adopt the weapon. The M110C is lighter than the original version but maintains that legendary Knight reliability and accuracy. The 7.62mm SASS delivers a new level of long-range precision rapid fire that enables execution of operational missions not possible using manually operated weapon systems.
High-capacity, quick-change magazines enable ammo selection optimization in both the suppressed and unsuppressed firing modes. The semi-automatic M110 has increased sniper rate of fire, precision and lethality against personnel and light material targets, especially in target rich environments and scenarios requiring multiple follow-up shots. The SASS is also the first U.S. Army weapon system that integrates an optimized quick attach/detach sound suppressor to aid with Warfighter survivability by reducing weapon firing signature.
Chambered for 7.62 NATO the M110C weighs in at 16 pounds with a barrel length of 20 inches. And an overall length of 47.25 inches.

The artist doll movement can be traced back to the mid-twentieth century. Men and women were creating dolls to express an artistic point of view, as well as to make a living. There were no dollmaking classes for them to take, no books on the subject. Early doll artists like Martha Thompson, Lewis Sorenson and Bernard Ravca had to figure it all out from scratch. In the early sixties, a group of these artists came together and formed NIADA, the National Institute of American Doll Artists. They worked together with UFDC (the United Federation of Doll Clubs) to promote their work. The early doll collectors were very enthusiastic patrons, and the movement grew. Today, in addition to NIADA, there is ODACA, the Original Doll Artist Council of America, as well as numerous smaller dollmaking groups, classes and books on the subject.
I had a hard time deciding whether to include artist dolls in this website. What exactly is an artist doll? After all, every doll is designed by someone. And if they are not meant to be played with, but just looked at and admired, are they really dolls at all? I will leave that second question to the philosophers among you, but I will answer the first one by saying that, for the purposes of this website, an artist doll is one that is made by the designer, or whose production is personally supervised by the designer. Eventually this page will spin off into a website of its own, but for now, you can enjoy a few of my photos. Click on a photo to see a larger version.

Salisbury, N.C. - Brevard College captured their first South Atlantic Conference win of the season Thursday, sweeping Catawba, 7-0, at the Johnson Tennis Center. The final two singles matches of the day were rained out, but the weather could not dampen the Tornado charge.
The Tornados (10-3, 1-2 SAC) were barely tested in doubles matches. Lindsay Shaeffer and Kim Dixon opened the proceedings with an 8-2 rout of the top Catawba (6-6, 0-2 SAC) duo of Jen Denyes and Kara Zielinski, and Lindsay Hostetter and Kayley Duval beat Candace Hall and Nikiah Knox, 8-4. Merek Slagle and Sara Douglas captured the final pairs point, 8-3, over Megan Kittell and Steffi Cook.
All four completed singles matches went Brevard's way. Shaeffer beat Denyes, 6-1, 6-1, and Hostetter got past Zielinski, 6-1, 6-1. Duval, the reigning SAC Player of the Week, beat Cook, 6-2, 6-2, and Dixon won a fairly close match over Knox, 6-2, 7-5.
Jennifer Nyman was just a game away from victory when her singles match against Hall was halted, and Douglas had just started her pairing with Kim Renspie when the rains came.
Having won six straight matches, the Tornados host Lincoln Memorial Saturday at 1 p.m., while Catawba takes on Livingstone next Wednesday at 3 p.m.

At Work
Nothing Is Alien: An Interview with Leslie JamisonBy Merve Emre
When Leslie Jamison and I met outside the Glass Shop, an airy café in Crown Heights, I noticed her left arm was sporting a wide, wordy tattoo. It was in Latin, and she spared the embarrassment of translating it—"I am human; nothing is alien to me."
Too often, Leslie says, people treat tattoos as an invitation to intimacy. Strangers on the subway ask her to relay the story of her tattoo without a second thought, much as they would, in offering a seat to a pregnant woman, ask for the details of what's growing inside of her. But in Leslie's case the tattoo does point to an intimate story—or rather, to a whole constellation of intimate stories that Leslie offers in her essay collection The Empathy Exams.
"I am human; nothing is alien to me" is the epigraph to the collection. It is a quote that has been casually misattributed to Montaigne, John Donne, Karl Marx, and Maya Angelou, but it actually comes from The Self-Tormentor, a play written by Terence, the ancient Roman slave turned playwright. It is the thread that connects such different yet equally luminous works as "Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain," "Pain Tours," and "The Devil's Bait"—meditations on how to feel pain, both physical and psychic in nature, and how to regard the pain of others in a way that respects their humanity. Having read The Empathy Exams, I can begin to appreciate why Leslie has made the small, if painful, jump from writing about the body to writing on the body.
Leslie and I circled this conversation so many times at the Glass Shop that we decided to revisit it one morning in late October at my apartment in Brooklyn, and later that day, on the Metro-North to Yale University, where we are both finishing Ph.D.s in English literature. Most of the time, the tape recorder was on, but sometimes I switched it off so we could gossip idly, and forgot to switch it back on until Leslie was already halfway into a thought on feminism I wanted to preserve. But if this interview reads like the midpoint of a conversation that's been taking place for some time now, that shouldn't prevent you—the reader—from making sense of it. After all, you are human. This will not be alien to you.
The most ungenerous criticism of the collection that I could imagine is, Oh, she keeps putting herself in these positions to experience pain or woundedness so she can have something to write about. How narcissistic. I can see people thinking as they're reading, She's a real glutton for pain.
I guess that's why it felt right to put "Grand Unified Theory" at the end of the collection. That idea of being drawn to pain is starting to emerge as a pattern in the essays themselves, and the final essay speaks to that directly. What position of pride do I have in relationship to these experiences?
There's a basic and important distinction to draw between positions I inhabit as somebody who has experienced some kind of trauma and somebody who's seeking out pain. Going to the Morgellons conference is a choice in a way that getting hit in the street isn't. But the collection chooses to bring all of those experiences together in a certain way—what kind of appetite is being spoken to there? In certain ways, as a writer, you do profit off your own experiences of pain, and there's a way of seeing that profit that's wholly inspirational—in terms of turning pain into beauty—and a way of seeing it that's wholly cynical—in terms of being a "wound dweller" in a corrosive or self-pitying way. The honest answer—to me—dwells somewhere between those views. Read More

Questions could be answered on the one thread and links put up to where advice can be got. On the amateur mma forum people won't feel silly asking questions.
