Cash-strapped Canyon Lake is looking for ways to save money on public safety services, although contracting with a private security firm to replace or supplement police patrols may not be an option, according to City Attorney Elizabeth Martyn.
Public safety costs comprised about two-thirds of the city's $3.2 million budget in the 2011-12 fiscal year.
With Interim City Manager Richard Rowe projecting Canyon Lake's reserve fund will run dry within the next four years without a new source of income or a significant reduction in expenditures, officials are beginning to explore ways to save on police and fire costs. The ideas have ranged from revisiting a public safety tax to renegotiating contracts to trimming services already deemed by many residents to be at a bare minimum.
However, as a general law city, contracting police services with a private security firm -- a suggestion by a Property Owners Association board member who caught the council's attention -- is not an option for Canyon Lake because "there is no express constitutional, statutory or implied authority for a general law city to contract with private parties to provide 'regular' law enforcement services … carried out by city police officers," Martyn wrote in a letter to Rowe.
"That includes the case where off-duty police officers are the private security guards," Martyn added in a letter that cites attorney general opinions.
The City Council will discuss private security options for police services at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at 31512 Railroad Canyon Road.
Canyon Lake now contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for one officer on duty at all times during each 24-hour period, at a cost of about $1.2 million per year.
That contract, Councilwoman Nancy Horton said, includes the services of county dispatchers as well as the ability to utilize back-up officers for larger incidents and helicopters for pursuing suspects, among a number of other services.
"All of those things are things that sworn police officers have to do," said Horton, who is also a member of the city's Public Safety Committee. "In my opinion, there is no place for a private security firm unless the city wanted to hire a private security firm to patrol the town center."
Canyon Lake's property owners association already spends more than $1.5 million, according to POA board member Sean McDonald, on an observe-and-report security force within the gates that is separate from the city's contract with the Sheriff's Department.
The POA is negotiating a contract with a new company that will allow patrolling officers the ability to detain suspects until authorities can arrive, something McDonald believes the city should be able to expand upon for its police services.
Whether or not state law will allow such contracts in Canyon Lake, McDonald said the answers to Canyon Lake's financial woes aren't revisiting a public safety tax or simply accepting the contracts submitted by the Sheriff's Department and the Californian Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
"I look at what the city is doing now as a planned bankruptcy," McDonald said. "It's like, 'We know we're going to run out of money in 2016-17 and we're getting in line to do it as soon as possible.'
"If we knew we couldn't afford (the fire and police contracts), then why did we contract for it?"
A previous solution presented in 2011 was overwhelmingly defeated when 61 percent of voters said no to a proposed annual tax of $204 on every commercial and residential parcel in the city, a measure that would have added nearly $1 million annually to help pay for the existing levels of police and fire protection.
Although the city has had preliminary discussions about cost-saving measures -- from shuttering its fire station to sharing services with neighboring cities to the more recent inquiries about contracting private security firms to replace or supplement police services -- Horton said a tax may be the only way to maintain the levels of protection now in place in the city.
"The people in Canyon Lake are used to these levels of services," Horton said. "When they find out that might change, they may decide they want to pay for them or they may decide they don't want to."

Brantley carries Tribe past O's
BALTIMORE -- Michael Brantley homered and had four RBIs, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Monday night for their ninth win in 12 games.
Brantley put the Indians ahead with a two-run single in the sixth inning and made it 5-2 with a two-run shot in the eighth off Darren O'Day. His four RBIs tied a career high, reached twice previously.
Nick Swisher had two hits and scored a run for the Indians, and former Oriole Mark Reynolds went 1 for 2 with two walks. The victory improved Cleveland's record against the AL East to 7-17 and provided an uplifting start to an 11-game road trip.
Ubaldo Jimenez (6-4) allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings and Vinnie Pestano, the fourth Indians reliever, worked the ninth for his fourth save.
Nick Markakis and Matt Wieters homered for the Orioles, who have lost four straight.
Zach Britton (1-2) allowed only two hits through five innings and took a 2-0 lead into the sixth before faltering. Jason Kipnis led off with a double and scored on a single by Swisher. Carlos Santana followed with a double to put runners at second and third, and after Reynolds received an intentional walk, Brantley grounded a single up the middle to chase Britton.
Brantley iced it in the eighth with his fifth homer after a leadoff single by Reynolds.
After being swept in a three-game series in Toronto, the Orioles hoped a return to Camden Yards would reverse their slide. But their only offense came on two swings of the bat.
After Markakis put Baltimore up 1-0 in the first inning with his eighth home run, the Orioles left the bases loaded in the second and stranded two runners in the third.
Wieters led off the fourth with his 10th home run to end an 0-for-13 skid and make it 2-0.

Thanks n3lson for this! Switching from OpenCL to CAL++ squeezed out a few more PMKs/s from my Radeon HD 4890. I went from ~23k to ~25k, a decent improvement for 10 minutes of tweaking.
For the record I wasn't working with a clean BT5R2 install, and initially ran into "Segmentation faults" when running pyrit after following your guide. I installed all the drivers and software listed above, but kept getting segfaults.
I fixed it by manually removing pyrit and re-compiling pyrit and cpyrit_calpp from source, as described above. Manually remove all instances of pyrit from /usr/local. I found all pyrit's pieces by runningand deleted everything I found. There may have been something in /usr/bin as well, can't remember. Obviously don't go blindly deleting anything, be careful! Then runCode:find /usr/local | grep pyritfor both pyrit and cpyrit_calpp. Running pyrit list_cores now recognizes my HD4890 as a CAL++ device!Code:python setup.py build && python setup.py install
I wouldn't expect double performance over OpenCL, but definitely an improvement. Thanks again n3lson!

Reedy River Rivalry Game to be Televised
Game to be aired across South Carolina, in parts of North Carolina and Georgia
By Greenville Drive | February 21, 2014 4:04 PM ET
Despite being one of the toughest tickets at Fluor Field, baseball fans from across the Upstate and beyond will still be able to watch the Reedy River Rivalry matchup between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers if they aren't at the game.
The Greenville Drive and WMYA-TV announced today that they have partnered to broadcast the Reedy River Rivalry live on March 1st. WMYA My40 will serve as the flagship station, airing the game in the Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina, and stations in Charleston (WTAT), Columbia (WOLO), Myrtle Beach/Florence (WPDE), Charlotte (WCCB), Augusta (WJBF) and Savannah (WJCL) will also broadcast the game to their respective markets. The game will also be able to be viewed online at ESPN3.com. First pitch of the Reedy River Rivalry game is set for 2:05 PM.
Drive General Manager Eric Jarinko commented on the announcement, saying, "The Drive is delighted to showcase Fluor Field and televise this premier matchup of two of the nation's top collegiate programs. This broadcast promises to be a big win for Tiger and Gamecocks fans, our Drive corporate partners, and all who appreciate the excitement of this great baseball event in Downtown Greenville."
The 2013 and 2011 Reedy River Rivalry games each drew 7,125 fans, while 2010's contest drew 7,105, which stand as three of the four largest crowds in Fluor Field's history. This year's contest will continue to be one of the most sought after tickets in collegiate baseball.
"We are thrilled to be able to televise the Reedy River Rivalry game at Fluor Field for the second consecutive season," stated Jack Connors, General Manager of WMYA. "This is one of the premier rivalries in all of college baseball, and we are proud to add this game to our year-round sports offerings that already include the Drive and other minor league baseball, locally produced college and high school football and basketball."
Drive Co-Owner and President, Craig Brown, summed it up, saying, "This broadcast from Fluor Field will make it possible to share the exciting atmosphere of a truly classic college rivalry with fans from across the state and region, who would not otherwise be able to enjoy this special Downtown Greenville baseball experience. Viewers who tune in will see two of the nation's most talented and popular college programs compete in front of a capacity crowd, in one of the most beautiful ballparks in the country."

Why Define a Behaviour?
In general behaviours are just a convenience for the coder. They insure that a module has implemented all the functions it needs to interact successfully with the system that has defined the behavior. So when you are creating a library or application that will be made use of by other libraries or applications with associated callbacks it may be a good idea to define a behaviour.
Defining the Behaviour
All in all, behaviours are pretty simple to define. All you need to do is include a function called behaviour_info with a single argument that is the atom 'callbacks'. The function should return a list of tuples that specify the required callback functions and their arity. It should look something like
-module(some_behaviour). -export([behaviour_info/1]). behaviour_info(callbacks) -> [{init,1}, {handle, 1}, {sync, 2}]; behaviour_info(_Other) -> undefined.
This new behaviour requires the functions init/1, handle/1, and sync/2 to be defined in the callback module.
This is a really short HowTo and I really debated whether to put this in a howto or just as a recipe in the cookbook. In the end, I figured this question was asked often enough and was important enough to put here.

USC student named Hollings Scholar
By Jennifer Bess, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-0958
A rising junior majoring in environmental science at the University of South Carolina has been chosen as a 2013 Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholar. Mallori Williams brings the total number of USC Hollings Scholars to 18 over the nine years of this national competition, with 10 won in the past three years.
Participation in the Hollings Scholarship Program exposes rising juniors and seniors to the mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and to the nation's long history of ocean and atmospheric stewardship, reflected in the dedicated career of retired U.S. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina. Hollings Scholars are expected to become scientists, policy-makers or educators in the future U.S. oceanic and atmospheric workforce. The class of 2013 Hollings Scholars includes 126 students from across the country.
Williams is involved in sustainable efforts on campus including Students Advocating for a Greener Environment (SAGE) and a variety projects through Carolina's Service Saturday programs. She is a member of Phi Sigma Theta Honor Society and Association of African American Students (AAAS) and serves as the community service and membership chair for AAAS.
Williams complements her major program of study in environmental science with undergraduate research in the lab of Jill Anderson, an evolutionary biologist, in the USC biological sciences department. Ultimately, she aims to work on the state or federal level on environmental health issues.
She is the daughter of Angela and Keith Williams of Graniteville, S.C., and is a graduate of Franklinton High School in Franklinton, N.C.
Hollings Scholars study a variety of disciplines including biological, life, and agricultural sciences; physical sciences; mathematics; engineering; computer and information sciences; social and behavioral science; and teacher education. The scholarship provides up to $8,000 of academic assistance per school year for full-time study during the junior and senior years. A required, 10-week paid ($650/week) summer internship including travel and living expenses is also included.
Hollings Scholars were assisted by Claudia Benitez-Nelson, adviser for this scholarship and director of the marine science program, with a joint appointment in the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences in the School of Earth, Ocean and Environment.
"The Hollings Scholarship is one of the top honors that an undergraduate majoring in marine or environmental science can receive, and highlights the outstanding students within School of the Earth, Ocean and Environment here at USC," Benitez-Nelson said.
Hollings Scholars are also aided by the university's Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs. Carolina students interested in applying for national fellowships are encouraged to contact the office for assistance.

HP Laptop 2000 with Win 8
(Difference between revisions)
Perspectoff (Talk | contribs)
Current revision as of 20:10, 3 August 2013
These are the steps I took when setting up Kubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 LTS on an inexpensive, newly-purchased HP computer with Windows 8 pre-installed on it (June 2013).
- Unpacked the new computer and powered it on, which loaded to the Windows 8 initial setup.
- Chose Win 8 intialization without automatic updates or feedback (or any other automatic interactions with Microsoft). Set up a single user with a password. (I skipped the setup of networking at this time.)
- Since I have messed up so many Windows operating systems in the past, having a set of Recovery Disks is very important to me (so that I can re-install Windows should I do something dreadfully wrong). HP does not distribute Recovery Disks separately but pre-installs an App / Program to create them for you. Access the "HP Media Recovery Creation" app:
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Search -> Apps -> Security and Protection: HP Media Recovery Creation
- Follow the prompts to create a set of Recovery Discs (5 DVDs or 3 DLDVDs) or a Recovery USB stick. (The process took over 3 hours for me.) Put the newly-created Recovery Disks in a safe place -- you are only allowed to create one set.
- I phone-activated Windows 8. Why? With phone activation I could write down the activation number and in the event I need to reinstall the OS using the Recovery Discs would be able to re-enter the activation number again.
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Settings -> Change PC Settings -> Activate Windows -> Activate by Phone
- My network restricts which computers can connect by allowing only certain MAC addresses to connect. To find the wireless card's MAC address I used the CMD prompt (command terminal):
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Search -> Apps -> Windows System: Command Prompt
- At the command prompt enter: ipconfig -all (and note the MAC address for the wireless device)
- I started my network connection from the Desktop using the Wireless icon in the lower right:
- Windows button -> Desktop -> Wireless icon
- I happen to like the Classic Start menu of Windows 7 instead of the Start screen of Windows 8, so installed a New Toolbar on the Taskbar that simulates it using the instructions here.
- I shrank my Windows 8 partition using the Disk Management: Shrink Volume tool:
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Search Control Panel: Administrative Tools -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage: Disk Management
- Highlight the C: drive -> right-click -> Shrink Volume... -> Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: 61,440 (which frees up 60 Gb of unallocated space) -> Shrink
- Reboot the computer (I reboot twice because I'm superstitious):
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Settings -> Power -> Restart
- Now I want to adjust from UEFI Boot to Legacy Boot options:
- Slide cursor to the lower right corner of the screen -> Settings -> Change PC Settings -> General: Restart Now -> (Windows 8 Boot menu) -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> UEFI Firmware Settings -> Restart
- The Boot Menu should now appear. During boot press the "ESC" key to choose the Boot Device Options or BIOS Settings as desired (to change settings temporarily or permanently). I entered the BIOS Settings and enabled Legacy Boot permanently. I also changed the boot order to allow the CD/DVD to boot first in both UEFI and Legacy modes (until done with all installations). Now when I reboot, pressing the "ESC" key brings up the option to boot directly from CD/DVD drive.
- I happen to have a boot-up disk with GParted on it. I rebooted the system into the Legacy Boot menu by holding down the ESC key, then chose the Boot Device Options and selected the CD/DVD device to boot (into which my GParted disc had been placed). GParted then booted.
- Because I had already burned my Recovery Discs (see above), I erased the HP Recovery partition (reclaiming about 25 Gb of additonal hard drive space). With the 60 Gb of drive space reclaimed from the Shrink Volume step, this left about 85 Gb unallocated space for installing Kubuntu.
- I then remove the GParted disk and rebooted into the Kubuntu disk (for this I used a 64-bit Kubuntu Precise 12.04.2 LTS LiveCD). I happen to like to set the partitions manually and created a small 10 Mb Reserved Boot Partition (for Grub data) and a 4 Gb swap partition (equivalent to the amount of RAM on my system). I then used the rest of the unallocated space as an ext4 partition for Kubuntu. (I then allowed Kubuntu to finish installing completely.) However, the Precise Pangolin 12.04.2 LTS version is able to install to the Win 8 UEFI bootloader under the "Guided Installation -- Install to Largest Available Free Space" option as well, which is easier (and recommended) for beginners.
- At the end of installation I was prompted to reboot. Pressing the "ESC" key during reboot now shows an Ubuntu OS boot option for booting Kubuntu.
- At one point I made a mistake and had to start over. To edit the duplicate boot entries (that resulted) in the UEFI boot menu I used this advice.

Dan Marino sues NFL over concussions
NEWSER) – The growing ranks of NFL veterans taking the league to court over concussions just signed a new star quarterback. Dan Marino and 14 other players have filed yet another lawsuit accusing the league of "carelessness, negligence, intentional misconduct" in hiding the long-term effects of concussions, USA Today and the LA Times report. There are no specific symptoms listed for Marino; the lawsuit says each plaintiff "sustained repetitive, traumatic sub-concussive, and/or concussive head impact."

text: Yes, that was very considerate of you. If I'm not mistaken I think that's about all BP and maybe others are asking for concerning this particular topic. Anyway, I can't think of many topics that are worth arguing online for. It's tiring and tedious to me. It's not worth it, and as far as I can tell no one has ever succeeded in convincing the other party on any subject. It simply never gets anybody anywhere. So I'm bowing out of this one.

MD Delegate Wants to Raise Highway Speed Limit to 70 MPH
Delegate Neil Parrott is sponsoring a bill to increase the speed limit from 65 to 70 on Maryland's expressways, interstates, and highways.
"Prior to 1973, that was the maximum speed limit in Maryland. It was 70 miles per hour. Now our roadways are safer. Our cars are safer. They run more efficiently at high speeds, and it makes sense to return to what we had before at 70 miles per hour," says Parrott, (R) , Washington County.
Senator George Edwards is sponsoring his own bill to increase the speed limit from 65 to 70 along Route 68 in Maryland.
"It connects 69 to West Virginia, where it is 70 miles per hour. A lot of my constituents say, 'If you go 70 miles per hour in West Virginia on 68, why can't we do it in Maryland?' Our roads are actually better than their roads when you look at the safety features, the width of it, and so forth," says Edwards, (R) - Garrett, Allegany, and Washington Counties.
Senator Ron Young is a co-sponsor of the bill.
"The roads, like in Senator Edwards' area, there's not a lot of traffic. The roads are designed for it. They're safe. There are roads around the state where the same conditions are true, and I think it just makes sense. It improves traffic," says Young, (D) , Frederick and Washington Counties.
Parrott, who also works as a traffic engineer, says he doesn't believe increasing the speed limit will result in drivers going faster.
"Motorists tend to go what's comfortable with the speed. They gage their speed based on the roadway conditions, and they go what's comfortable," Parrott says. "When we raise the speeds, we typically don't see a jump in the speed, actual speed on the road, based on the speed limit."
The state speed limit is 70 in 35 other states, including Virginia and West Virginia. Parrott hopes to make Maryland number 36.
Del. Kathy Afzali (R), Frederick County, and Del. Andrew Serafini (R), Washington County, are co-sponsoring Parrott's bill.
Parrott's bill will be heard in committee on February 5th. Edwards' bill doesn't have a hearing date yet.

House Democrats Backing Abortion Restrictions Received Significant Campaign Cash From Pro-Life Groups

Support for Charles Rangel Wanes In Midst of Alleged Ethics Scandals
October 15, 2009 | Republican members of the House last week attempted to oust Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) from his powerful chairmanship of the House Ways & Means Committee for the duration of a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged ethical misconduct surrounding his real estate investments and dubious personal financial disclosure reports. And although the effort failed and Rangel can sit tight for now, signs that he's sustained political damage are emerging.

Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.

Immigration Proposal To Keep Families Together Sparks Conservative "Amnesty" Attack
Right-wing media have attacked a proposed Obama administration rule change that would reduce the amount of time required for undocumented immigrants who are immediate relatives of American citizens to apply for residency as "stealth amnesty" by a "lawless regime." But the proposed rule change would allow eligible immigrants to obtain a lawful return visa without a long separation from their families; moreover, immigrant-rights activists have said that the current system encourages people to remain here illegally.
Right-Wing Media Declare Proposed Rule Change "Stealth Amnesty" By A "Lawless Regime"
Judicial Watch: Obama Administration "Using Its Executive Powers To Grant Illegal Immigrants Backdoor Amnesty." In an April 2 post, the right-wing blog Judicial Watch reported on a proposed Department of Homeland Security rule change by claiming the agency was on a "quest to implement stealth amnesty" and that the Obama administration is attempting "to blow off Congress by using its executive powers to grant illegal immigrants backdoor amnesty." From Judicial Watch:
In its quest to implement stealth amnesty, the Obama Administration is working behind the scenes to halt the deportation of certain illegal immigrants by granting them "unlawful presence waivers."
The new measure would apply to illegal aliens who are relatives of American citizens. Here is how it would work, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement posted in today's Federal Register, the daily journal of the U.S. government; the agency will grant "unlawful presence waivers" to illegal aliens who can prove they have a relative that's a U.S. citizen.
This appears to be part of the Obama Administration's bigger plan to blow off Congress by using its executive powers to grant illegal immigrants backdoor amnesty. The plan has been in the works for years and in 2010 Texas's largest newspaper published an exposé about a then-secret DHS initiative that systematically cancelled pending deportations. The remarkable program stunned the legal profession and baffled immigration attorneys who said the government bounced their clients' deportation even when expulsion was virtually guaranteed. [Judicial Watch, 4/2/12 [1]]
Drudge Report: Rule Change Is "Stealth Amnesty." On April 4, The Drudge Report linked to the Judicial Watch post under the headlines, "Big Sis To Grant Illegal Aliens 'Unlawful Presence Waivers,'" and, "'Implement Stealth Amnesty.'" From The Drudge Report:
[Drudge Report, 4/4/12 [2]]
Jim Hoft: "Laws, What Laws?... Big Sis To Grant Illegal Aliens 'Unlawful Presence Waivers.'" In an April 3 post on Gateway Pundit, right-wing blogger Jim Hoft posted a section of the Judicial Watch piece under the headline "Laws, What Laws?... Big Sis To Grant Illegal Aliens 'Unlawful Presence Waivers.'" Hoft asked, "Is there any law this administration is willing to honor?" and concluded, "And the lawless regime rolls on." [Gateway Pundit, 4/3/12 [3]]
Fox Nation: "Obama Granting Illegals 'Unlawful Presence Waivers.'" On April 3, Fox Nation posted a portion of the Judicial Watch report under the headline, "Obama Granting Illegals 'Unlawful Presence Waivers.'" From Fox Nation:
[Fox Nation, 4/3/12 [4]]
But Immigrants Would Still Have To Apply For A Visa To Re-Enter The Country Under The Rule Change
DHS Proposes Reducing Time Required For Undocumented Immigrants With Family In The U.S. To Apply For Legal Visa. According to the request for public comment issued in the April 2 Federal Register, DHS proposed a rule change that would reduce the amount of time undocumented immigrants with immediate family in the United States would have to wait before applying for a legal return visa. From the Department of Homeland Security:
Currently, certain spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens ("immediate relatives") who are in the United States are not eligible to apply for lawful permanent resident status (LPR) without leaving the United States because they entered the country unlawfully. These immediate relatives must travel abroad to obtain an immigrant visa from the Department of State (DOS) and, in many cases, also must request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a waiver of the inadmissibility that resulted from their unlawful presence while they remain outside of the United States, separated from their U.S. citizen spouses, parents, or children. In some cases, waiver application processing can take well over a year, and the prolonged separation from immediate relatives can cause many U.S. citizens to experience extreme humanitarian and financial hardships. In addition, the action required for these immediate relatives to obtain LPR status in the United States -- departure from the United States to apply for an immigrant visa at a DOS consulate abroad -- is the very action that triggers the unlawful presence inadmissibility grounds under INA section 212(a)(9)(B)(i). As a result, many immediate relatives who may qualify for an immigrant visa are reluctant to proceed abroad to seek an immigrant visa.
The rule change further notes that return visas will be issued only to immigrants "if there are no other grounds of inadmissibility and if the immediate relative otherwise is eligible to be issued an immigrant visa." [Federal Register, 4/2/12 [5]]
AP: Immigrants With Families In U.S. Could Cut Down Time Required "To Return Here Legally." A January 6 Associated Press article about the administration's proposal noted that undocumented immigrants with families in the United States who have been issued one of the proposed waivers must still "seek a visa to return here legally." From the AP:
Currently, many illegal immigrants must leave the country before they can ask the federal government to waive a three- to 10-year ban on legally coming back to the U.S. The length of the ban depends on how long they have lived in the U.S. without permission.
On Friday, the Obama administration proposed changing the rule to let children and spouses ask the government to decide on the waiver request before they head to their home country to seek a visa to return here legally.
The illegal immigrants would still have to go abroad to finish the visa process, but getting a provisional waiver approved in advance would reduce the time they are out of the country from months to days or weeks. [AP, 1/6/12 [6], via Yahoo News]
LA Times: Rule Change Would Benefit Immigrants "Seeking Legal Status." A March 30 Los Angeles Times article noted:
The Obama administration is proposing to make it easier for illegal immigrants who are immediate family members of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a move that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally.
The new rule, which the Department of Homeland Security will post for public comment Monday, would reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said. Currently, such immigrants must leave the country to apply for a legal visa, often leading to long stints away as they await resolution of their applications. [LA Times, 3/30/12 [7]]
Immigrant Rights Groups Have Noted That Rule Change Would Reduce Delays In Reuniting Families
USCIS Director: Change Would "Minimize ... Bureaucratic Delays" Which "Separate Americans From Their Families." The AP article quoted U.S. Citizenship and Immigraion Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas noting that the change would reduce delays that "separate Americans from their families." From the AP:
The illegal immigrants would still have to go abroad to finish the visa process, but getting a provisional waiver approved in advance would reduce the time they are out of the country from months to days or weeks, said Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The purpose is "to minimize the extent to which bureaucratic delays separate Americans from their families for long periods of time," Mayorkas told reporters.
It currently takes about six months for the government to issue a waiver, Mayorkas said. [AP, 1/6/12 [6] via Yahoo News]
AP: "Pro-Immigration Activists" Have Pointed Out That The Rule Change Would "Keep Families Together" And Possibly "Save Lives." From the AP article:
Pro-immigration activists and lawyers embraced the change, saying it would keep families together and encourage more people now in the United States illegally to emerge from the shadows and apply for visas. Some said it could even save lives.
Democratic Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado recalled the case of Tania Nava Palacios, who went to Ciudad Juarez -- a hotbed for drug-fueled violence -- with her American husband and son in pursuit of a waiver. Drug cartel members killed her husband last year, his office said in a statement.
Kelly Alfaro, of Washington state, said her husband, Guillermo, waited in Mexico for eight months last year after he had his visa interview in Ciudad Juarez.
"I was terrified for his safety because I know how dangerous it is there and I had no way of knowing how long he would have to stay in Mexico," she said. [AP, 1/6/12 [6], via Yahoo News]
Immigration Attorney: Rule Change Would Alter Current System Which "Encourag[es] People To Remain Illegal." From the LA Times article:
Many immigrants who might seek legal status do not pursue it out of fear they will not receive a "hardship waiver" of strict U.S. immigration laws: An illegal immigrant who has overstayed a visa for more than six months is barred from reentering the U.S. for three years; those who overstay more than a year are barred for 10 years.
Lisa Battan, an immigration attorney based in Boulder, Colo., said the current process is "encouraging people to remain illegal."
Abel Aguirre de la Cruz and his wife, Jessica Martinez, a U.S. citizen, were carjacked at gunpoint with their infant child in November 2010 in Fresnillo, Mexico, while going through the waiver application process, according to Battan, the Colorado-based lawyer, who represents the couple. On March 15, 20 months after the family first applied for a waiver, the consulate in Juarez requested more information. [LA Times, 3/30/12 [7]]
American Immigration Lawyers Association: Rule Change "Is A Positive Step For Keeping Families Together" And "Will Literally Save Lives." In a March 30 press release, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) pointed out that the rule change will "keep families together" and "save lives." From AILA:
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) commends the Department of Homeland Security's proposal to change its processes to enable spouses and children of U.S. citizens physically present in the United States to apply within the U.S. for the waiver they need to become U.S. permanent residents. The current procedure requires the spouse or child to leave the United States, file the waiver application in the home country, and wait for processing while separated from their U.S. citizen loved ones.
"Today's proposed change, permitting the waiver request to be decided stateside, is a positive step for keeping families together. It would result in a significant change in process for many individuals and, if implemented, will literally save lives. People have been kidnapped and murdered waiting for waivers in Juarez, Mexico, and other countries," said Eleanor Pelta, President of AILA. "It's a move that will be less destructive to families and bring about a fairer and more streamlined waiver process. [AILA, 3/30/12 [8]]
Catholic Legal Immigration Network: "The Current Process Has Caused Prolonged Family Separation." In an April 2 press release, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) noted that the change would alter "the current process" which "has caused prolonged family separation." From CLINIC:
[T]he current process has caused prolonged family separation as individuals await adjudication of their waiver application in their home country. The proposed pre-adjudication measure allows individuals to apply for and receive a preliminary decision on their waiver application before departing the United States.
"The issuance of this proposed rule constitutes a meaningful and very positive step towards ensuring that the process of legalizing one's status does not come at the high price of being separated, often for years, from one's loved ones," said Maria M. Odom, executive director of CLINIC. "CLINIC supports the overall proposed rule and looks forward to providing detailed commentary over the next 60 days, noting that there are still fundamental areas in which the rule can be improved. It was disappointing to learn that this important benefit will be unavailable to those who have already been scheduled for an immigrant visa interview abroad, penalizing those who have already taken meaningful steps to legalize their status." [CLINIC, 4/2/12 [9]]

Island of the Blue Dolphins Cave is FoundBy Sadie Stein
The Island of the Blue Dolphins was my home; I had no other.
After more than twenty years of searching, a Navy archaeologist believes he has found the cave on San Nicolas Island occupied by The Lone Woman—better known to many as the protagonist of Scott O'Dell's 1960 classic, Island of the Blue Dolphins. The Newberry Medal–winner was based on the true story of a Native American woman left behind when the rest of the Nicoleño tribe was evacuated from the channel islands by missionaries after the population was decimated by Russian fur traders; one story has it she returned to the island to search for her missing child.

Step 1: Rough it out.
Referring to your five-generation pedigree chart, sketch a pleasing drop-line chart on scrap paper. Write the names (no need to be super-neat yet) and link individuals with connecting lines. Researchers typically use the following "codes" to show relationships clearly: Place the names of a married couple side by side (the husband on the left and the wife on the right), with a long equal sign (=) between them. Drop a line from the equal sign to that couple's children. Write their names left to right in birth order, and draw a horizontal line above their names to connect them. From the horizontal connecting line, drop a short line to each child's name.

Be Civil, Not Like Those Jerks
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
With Rush Limbaugh's toxicity becoming (even more) of a problem for the conservative movement, the Daily Caller's Matt Lewis is issuing a call for "civility" in our discourse:
Conservatives, of course, will point to liberal examples of hatred and bitterness and say, "they do it, too!" Both sides do this. Both sides should be more civil. Both sides should show more character.
But since I suspect I'm reaching more conservatives here, let me make the case that you should not allow yourself to become obsessed with the political fight. In this, I agree with Peggy Noonan, who writes, "[I]n their fight against liberalism and its demands, too many conservatives have unconsciously come to ape the left. They too became all politics all the time."
At the end of the day -- at the end of our lives -- shouldn't our life's work -- our purpose -- have been noble? (Yes, political participation is honorable. Fighting for freedom is certainly honorable. But it is noble only if done in an honorable manner.)
What a load of self-serving nonsense.
This is a favorite defense for conservatives who find themselves in the unfortunate position of being forced to apologize: "I'm sorry for what I did, which happened only because I 'unconsciously' acted like a liberal." It's a neat little trick for sort-of accepting responsibility while at the same time heaping a considerable portion of blame your ideological foes.
Limbaugh himself made good use of it in explaining his "apology" to Sandra Fluke: "I don't expect...morality, intellectual honesty from the left. They've demonstrated over and over a willingness to say or do anything to advance their agenda. It's what they do. It's what we fight against here every day. But this is the mistake I made. In fighting them on this issue last week, I became like them."
I suppose it's possible that the conservative, in his natural state, is a peaceful and honorable being who only manages to debase himself after succumbing to the left's proprietary tactic of non-stop politicking. Of course, Lewis and other people who argue that are implying that the liberals are the ultimate cause of all incivility in our discourse. And I don't find that argument to be particularly civil.

GSA "Get It Right" Plan Will Ensure Proper Use of GSA Contract Vehicles
July 13, 2004
Contact: Mary Alice Johnson (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today unveiled a comprehensive plan designed to ensure improved contracting operations and proper use of GSA's contracting vehicles.
The GSA "Get It Right" plan, will provide a fully integrated approach to assessing regulatory compliance and providing feedback to customer agencies, industry partners, the acquisition workforce, and stakeholders. The plan also calls for GSA to proactively supervise the proper use of its contract vehicles and services to ensure best value for the American taxpayer and federal agencies. The plan was discussed at a meeting of GSA associates and personnel from the U.S. Department of Defense, GSA's largest customer.
"This is strong action on the part of the Bush Administration, the GSA management team and its acquisition officials and a change in direction for the entire federal acquisition workforce," stated GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. He added, "We are implementing the 'Get It Right' plan because acquisition is the core of what we do as an agency and because we take seriously the trust placed in GSA by our federal agency customers, the Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and most importantly, the taxpayers." He further added, "I am confident that as the federal acquisition community works to implement this fully integrated approach and we gather feedback, that we will identify and close any gaps that exist and take specific actions to achieve improvements, ultimately resulting in a reinvigoration of commitment to excellence in acquisition."
The major objectives of the "Get It Right" plan are to:
- Ensure compliance with federal contracting regulations.
- Make contracting policies and procedures clear and explicit.
- Ensure the integrity of GSA's contract vehicles and services.
- Improve competition in the marketplace when GSA's contract vehicles and services are used.
- Improve transparency relating to how GSA's contract vehicles and services are used.
- Ensure that taxpayers get the best value for their tax dollar whenever GSA's contract vehicles or services are used.
Hundreds of contracting and program personnel from GSA and DoD attended the meeting to hear discussion of the new procedures. The meeting was also broadcast via Webcast to GSA associates nationwide.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement, property management and policy agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. It also plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies. GSA, comprised of 13,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over one million federal workers located in more than 8,000 government-owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

Dedicated TEXpress Lanes exit ramps will guide you back into the general highway lanes and frontage roads with plenty of time to prepare for the exit.
Know the Entries and Exits
Familiarize yourself with the entries and exits needed to reach your destination.
View the North Texas TEXpress Lanes map to determine which TEXpress Lanes in the system are best to reach your destination.

Pool Basketball Dunks
So, a few days ago, a Vine surfaced that had people buzzing. It was a short video of what some consider the best pool basketball dunk of all time.
What's pool basketball?
People with pools often put childrens' basketball goals next to pools. You can play actual games or do what we see below, just dunk the ball. The sport is great for people without actual athletic ability.
It's also great for people with a ton of time on their hands.
But, after the fine folks at Deadspin shared the Vine, old videos from other elaborate pool dunks flowed in. So, now we have a substantial amount of time wasting videos.
Check it out.

Not only does the W get overturned... He loses $135,000 in bonuses!!!!!!!
For Marijuana...
Not only does the W get overturned... He loses $135,000 in bonuses!!!!!!!
Guess it's the old debate again, why bother putting yourself at risk of a positive test?
He's now lost the biggest W of his career, his jump up the rankings probably and shit load of cash.
ah man he loses the cash too? gutted.
sickening the way he is forced to issue a grovelling apology as if he'd been injecting a mixture of hgh/test/epo into his arsehole on the hour/every hour for the last 10 years.
silly choice, got busted, but this is getting crazy. 'send him to rehab! think of the children!'
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
There's been enough high profile cases where fighters tested postive for pot that it's insane that fighters are still taking the risk.
Losing that win hurts, but that's a hell of a lot of money to drop.
That cash loss is devastating. Bet he'd already spent a lot of it haha... $135,000!!!
yeah, i read an interview where he said that he could live off that for the rest of his life going by his life of mma poverty thus far
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
''All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice''
Bryan Caraway gets the Submission of the Night award!!
Idiot. I hope he had a great time explaining to his family why a 'social smoke' meant more to him than $130,000.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.

For those of us with hard drive installs of Backtrack pre-final (i.e. not boot disk, or vmware) what is the best method to upgrade to BackTrack 4 Final?
Is there is a way to do it without a new install?
Should be possible to do an upgrade, with a few conflicting packages (which can be removed). We made some core changes in the new iso (eg, no more metapackages), so you are generally better off reinstalling.
I dont think so but I new to BT4. apt-get update and apt-get upgrade did a mess on my system. ( postgres-81 cert problems )
I now dowload the new CD and are looking forward to it.
Sounds like a clean install is the way to go then, I'll start backing up stuff...thanks.
The postgress error is probably due to SSL certs being enabled in the postgres*.conf. Disable SSL and you should be good to go.
There's lots of small quirks like this along the way - for best results reinstall!
thought can direct upgrade,now looks like xp upgrade to win7
Read above and stop whining.
I would just clean install it. Grab a pack of 5 DVDs, back up your personal files, use one of them for the final, and you got Backtrack 4 Final, with all your favorite music, movies, and pictures! (of course, if your old system won't back up your files, thats a different story... 4.5 gigs of music, all gone! why?! why?!)
Why do people get so bent out of shape about installing the OS I mean man you got a install script on the live dvd desktop, there are text and video guides galore and it takes at most an hour to accomplish. Is it that much?

as I understand, VMware is not part of BT2, but many users try to install it afterwards. I was once using a Linux LiveCD called CoolLinux with a preinstalled VMware. After starting VMWare you had to enter your license-key and - if required - some networkcard-parameters. Maybe something could be realized with BT2 as well :-)
Could VMware be "installed" if the PC is booted from the CD-ROM (BT2 is not installed on the hd)?
Thank's a lot for any feedback!

GlobeCast to Offer Remote Playout Services with Grass Valley
Amsterdam, The Netherlands (IBC2012—Stand 1.D11), September 07, 2012 — With the introduction of the new version of the K2 Edge™ Smart Playout Center, Grass Valley® can now provide the whole gamut of delivery and publishing solutions from traditional Master Control through to IT-centric server-based solutions, combining automation, replay, graphics, switching and branding.
The K2 Edge Smart Playout Center is a platform from which multiple quantities and variations of automated, integrated playout channels can be configured. It is the next evolution in delivery and publishing solutions with lower initial capital cost along with lower operating costs.
Combined with Grass Valley's STRATUS™ for playout, the K2 Edge Smart Playout Center becomes a cost effective solution for ingest, preparation and branding of multiple channels of playout, including multi-screen delivery capability.
GlobeCast strengthening its playout offering with a K2 Edge Smart Playout Center
GlobeCast provides a portfolio of playout, content management and distribution solutions from its Media Centers to all major broadcast markets worldwide. In this context, GlobeCast plans to also provide playout services from its Paris facilities, servicing the entire EMEA region.
GlobeCast selected the Grass Valley K2 Edge Smart Playout Center solution to further strengthen its media management services as part of the company's expanded offering which range from playout for start-up channels with looped content, to global content workflows with fully-managed operations and channel localization services.
"K2 Edge helps us meet the demands of our customers in the EMEA region," says Philippe Rouxel, Chief Marketing Officer at GlobeCast. "It is crucial that we provide quality and innovative playout solutions to broadcasters, built upon future-proof technical platforms. We were searching for an integrated system that could do everything a channel needed, be it an existing or a new customer. Following a thorough study of available technology, the Grass Valley K2 Edge Smart Playout Center solution appeals to GlobeCast as an easy-to-use, flexible and scalable platform for our new GlobeCast "Studio Playout" solution."
"Our solution offers GlobeCast the scalability and flexibility needed to meet the growing demands of its customers," said Françoise Semin, Vice President for Southern Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Grass Valley. "Customers like GlobeCast want solutions that provide efficiencies and savings, yet at the same time ensure a high-quality output. The K2 Edge system is ideal, providing smaller or newer entrants with a simpler, more cost effective solution than traditional automation, but still scalable to larger multi-channel systems."
K2 Edge™ is a file-based, integrated playout solution featuring K2 TX/MAM™ media asset management and Grass Valley Cobalt™ playlist software. The K2 Edge system offers a robust and proven Linux-based, multi-platform playout solution that includes built-in graphics and subtitling capabilities. One of the principal innovations in the K2 Edge Smart Playout Center is Channel Composer, a new approach to creating the look for any channel. Channel Composer allows users to define, develop and test the branding of a channel at the point of creation and to customize promos and other spots according to editorial and business rules. This approach eliminates a lot of time and costs in the edit suite and reduces the amount of inventory to be managed in any facility. The installation at GlobeCast provides a high availability infrastructure for mission-critical 24/7 playout applications with highly scalable architecture.
The GlobeCast/Grass Valley solution will be shown at IBC 2012, RAI Amsterdam, September 7-11, booth 1.A29.

Man Goes to Jail for Catastrophic Diarrhea
(NEWSER) – If you have delicate sensibilities, stop reading now. A court has upheld a conviction against a man who spent a week in jail for ... leaving the bathroom of a federal courthouse in Maine covered in poop. The cleaner who found the mess says 75% of the floor was "covered in feces" with more "smeared more than two feet up on the walls" and "on the paper towel and toilet paper dispensers, on the toilet paper itself, and on part of the toilet seat and the left side of the toilet bowl," Salon reports. But Ronald Strong, 50, says he didn't mean to leave the bathroom such a, ahem, dump. Strong says his heart medication caused him to poop his pants, so he went into the bathroom to clean up and was so embarrassed, he didn't realize how much of a mess he made in the process.

... And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal, 46)
The Qur'an guides people to the ways of peace and teaches them what they previously did not know. It informs them of all the secrets of worldly life and the afterlife. One of the secrets that people can learn only from it is patience. Patience is not just one part of upstanding morality; rather, it is an important path by which the faithful are guided to Allah's mercy.
Allah grants unexpected blessings to His faithful servants who show patience while dealing with the troubles that befall them and who live in full the Qur'an's morality and carry out His commands.
The Qur'an informs us of Allah's promised blessings to Muslims who show patience, as follows:
Allah multiplies the strength of the faithful
O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If twenty of you are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who do not believe, because they are people who do not understand. Now Allah has made it lighter on you, knowing that there is weakness in you. If a hundred of you are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a thousand of you, they will overcome two thousand with Allah's permission. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal, 65-66)
Allah keeps His promises to the patient
And We bequeathed to the people who had been oppressed the easternmost part of the land We had blessed, and its westernmost part as well. The most excellent Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the tribe of Israel on account of their steadfastness. And We utterly destroyed what Pharaoh and his people made and the buildings they constructed. (Surat al- A'raf, 137)2009-05-27 12:56:44

Those of us that do game use a system which is designed to game and not a system that is designed for security testing.

The studs line up and Parker gets on his knees, moving from one monster-cock to the next. The lucky cocksucker is literally surrounded by huge dicks and he makes a pig out of himself! While he sucks their dicks the guys take turns rimming him until Josh West steps up and services Parker from behind.

How to talk LDAP from Erlang
How to talk LDAP from Erlang
Note: THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS !!
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is described in RFC xxxx. It comprises of not just a protocol but also of an abstract model of the data. Basically, think of the data as being stored in a tree. Each node (or entry) has a name (a Relative Distinguished Name). By concatenating the RDN's, while traversing the tree, you get a path (or name) that uniquely identifies a particular entry (the Distinguished Name, DN). Data is modelled as object classes each class containing a number of mandatory and optional attributes. A particular LDAP entry can be seen as an instance of one (or more) class(es). Example of such an entry can be seen below:
dn: uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com objectClass: inetOrgPerson cn: Torbjorn Tornkvist sn: Tornkvist uid: tobbe userPassword: {SSHA}Rj4mgDuKguD1xqLRQ2V6YKEzRajNORA6 mail: email@example.com telephoneNumber: +46 8 555 55 555 facsimileTelephoneNumber: +46 8 444 44 44
Note the attributes to left, where the dn: at the top holds the unique name of the entry (the DN). As you can see, an entry may contain a (encrypted) password. This makes it possible to use LDAP for authentication of users. Normally it is often possible to search (or lookup) data without having to authenticate (it depends on how the LDAP server is configured). We will look at how we can use the eldap library to communicate with an LDAP server.

In this example I have been using OTP-R10B-3 release and the jerl Jungerl start script. By using the Jungerl start script I automatically get eldap in my path.
Authenticate with eldap
We start by setting up a TCP socket to the LDAP server. The default port (389) will be used if you don't specify another port in the option list as {port,Port}. It is also possible to setup a SSL connection by using the {ssl,true} option (note that you then probably also should use the port 636).
1> {_,S} = eldap:open(["192.168.128.51"], []). {ok,<0.32.0>} 2> DN = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com". "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com" 3> eldap:simple_bind(S, DN, "qwe123"). ok
Searching for an entry.
Now, when we have authenticated ourself, we will perform a search of an entry where we will retrieve just one single attribute. file.
4> Base = {base,DN}. {base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"} 5> Scope = {scope, eldap:baseObject()}. {scope,baseObject} 6> Filter = {filter, eldap:present("cn")}. {filter,{present,"cn"}} 7> Attribute = {attributes, ["cn"]}. {attributes,["cn"]} 8> Search = [Base, Scope, Filter, Attribute]. [{base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"}, {scope,baseObject}, {filter,{present,"cn"}}, {attributes,["cn"]}] 9> eldap:search(S, Search). {ok,#eldap_search_result{ entries = [#eldap_entry{ object_name = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com", attributes = [{"cn",["Torbjorn Tornkvist"]}]}], referrals = []}}
Note: Note that we have made use of the fantastic shell command rr/1
(as in rr(eldap)) before issuing the call to eldap:search/2. This givesus the output in a nice record format.
As a variation, let us see what happends if we don't specify any attributes to be retrieved.
15> Search = [Base, Scope, Filter]. [{base,"uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com"}, {scope,baseObject}, {filter,{present,"cn"}}] 16> eldap:search(S, Search). {ok,#eldap_search_result{ entries = [#eldap_entry{ object_name = "uid=tobbe,ou=People,dc=bluetail,dc=com", attributes = [ {"objectClass", ["inetOrgPerson", "nortelSSLOffload", "extensibleObject"]}, {"cn", ["Torbjorn Tornkvist"]}, {"sn", ["Tornkvist"]}, {"uid", ["tobbe"]}, {"listName", ["contacts"]}, {"mail", ["email@example.com"]}, {"telephoneNumber", ["+46 8 545 55 023"]}, {"facsimileTelephoneNumber", ["+46 8 654 70 71"]}, {"description", ["/o=Demo/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=hejsan/cn=Servers/cn=inside"]}, {"title", ["inside"]}, {"employeeType", ["guest"]}, {"userPassword", ["{SSHA}/tsm+Mz8fQi/dBFzHpV2iXfO1O7LVPt3"]}, {"isdUserPrefs",[[131,104,3|...]]}]}], referrals = []}}

François Pinault, at the opening of the Palazzo Grassi two years ago, exhibited his own skull X-rayed by Piotr Uklanski.
Surrounded, Richard fought on ferociously until his skull was crushed by a halberd.
Surgeons drilled a small hole in his skull and removed the blood clot.
"skull, right hand, left finger, just above an elbow," the father told The Daily Beast.
Hardly a person in court could look for long at the extreme closeup of the child's skull.
The skull appeared to be small in proportion to the other parts of the body.
The stone struck the beast on the skull and knocked him over dead.
You'd ne'er find his skull if you looked inside the old monument—naught but the rest of his bones.'
Windows of the houses vacant—looked like eye-holes in a skull.
My heel came in contact, in sickening contact, with a human head; beyond doubt that I had split the skull of the man who held me.
"bony framework of the head," c.1200, probably from Old Norse skalli "a bald head, skull," a general Scandinavian word (cf. Swedish skulle, Norwegian skult), probably related to Old English scealu "husk" (see shell (n.)). But early prominence in southwestern texts suggests rather origin from a Dutch or Low German cognate (e.g. Dutch schol "turf, piece of ice," but the sense of "head bone framework" is wanting). Derivation from Old French escuelle seems unlikely on grounds of sound and sense. Old English words for skull include heafod-bolla.
skull (skŭl)
The bony or cartilaginous framework of the head, made up of the bones of the braincase and face; cranium.
The part of the skeleton that forms the framework of the head, consisting of the bones of the cranium, which protect the brain, and the bones of the face. See more at skeleton.

FULLERTON – Police are seeking the public's help in finding more victims of what the force says was a rental scam in which customers paid a fee for a list of available properties.
The properties either already were rented or did not exist, police said.
Operating under the name Rent Today, the business charged $160 for the listings, which was to be applied to the first month's rent, Sgt. Jeff Stuart said.
"When customers complained and tried to get their money back, they were told to come back later, or call back in 90 days, but were never refunded their money," Stuart said.
Police have identified four individuals they say were involved in the reported scam.
An apparent victim contacted the police March 21, Stuart said. Investigators then posed as potential renters, paid the $160 fee and the provided addresses did not exist or were unavailable.
Detectives served a search warrant at the business' office in the 2700 block of East Chapman Avenue and discovered more than 150 completed contracts, totaling close to $24,000, Stuart said, adding that none of Rent Today's employees were licensed to conduct such business by the state, a violation of the Business and Professions Code.
So far, 14 victims have been identified, Stuart said.
Rent Today, is in no way associated with Rent-Today.US, which is a legitimate business, Stuart said.
Police ask that anyone with information contact Detective Ginny Johnson at 714-738-6880 or the anonymous Orange County Crime Stoppers at occrimestoppers.org or 855-847-6227.
