With loud explosions and bright lights from flashbang grenades, heavily armed federal agents stormed a car near an apartment complex in Chino on Friday and arrested three men in connection with terrorist activities.
The men, from throughout the Inland Empire, had plotted for months to join al-Qaida in Afghanistan and planned to carry out terrorist acts on government facilities and kill members of the armed forces overseas, according to a criminal complaint filed by the FBI.
The trio had hoped to join another man - Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, of Pomona - who had already traveled to Afghanistan and was arranging contacts with the terrorist organizations. Kabir, an Afghanistan native, served in the U.S. Air Force from 2000 to 2001. He was arrested Friday in Afghanistan by the FBI and Army Special Forces.
Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario and a native of the Philippines; Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, of Upland; and Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside were arrested Friday in Chino. They appeared Monday in Riverside federal court for a status hearing.
The men had planned to "provide material support to terrorists and (were) making arrangements to join al-Qaida or the Taliban in Afghanistan to kill U.S. soldiers and target U.S. interests overseas," said Bill Lewis, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office.
David Bowdich, FBI special agent in charge of the counterterrorism division, said the men did not appear to have local targets.
"We'd never allow it to get to that point," Bowdich said in a news conference at FBI Headquarters in Los Angeles on Tuesday. "We were on them for quite a while. The agents and detectives did a tremendous job in this case.
"There is no threat locally based around this case that we're aware of. This was an out of the continental United States threat."
Deleon, Santana and Gojali had purchased plane tickets to fly to Afghanistan and were planning to depart within a few days when they were arrested Friday.
"There was no way they were going to get on that plane," Bowdich said.
Bowdich said the men presented a serious threat.
"I think the main lesson learned is don't underestimate these groups," Bowdich said.
"They took very definitive steps to accomplish their plan, and their mission was definitely detrimental - to harm the safety of our troops overseas and quite frankly coalition forces as well."
Lengthy planning process
The men came to the attention of authorities in January when Santana was returning to the United States after spending time in Mexico, according to the complaint.
As he was crossing the border into San Ysidro, he was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials and asked about items he was bringing into the country.
Santana had a copy of "Inspire," a magazine that aims to find recruits for al-Qaida inside the United States and Europe.
Subsequently, Santana, who converted to Islam in July 2010, unwittingly engaged undercover federal agents online and further confirmed his support of jihad - a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.
According to the FBI's criminal complaint, Santana yearned to become a sniper and claimed he went to Mexico to train. He also claimed he learned to use firearms and practiced using and making explosives.
Santana was friends with Deleon and the pair planned to go to Afghanistan with a third person, who was actually a confidential federal informant, the complaint says.
Deleon told the unnamed informant in July that the Taliban, a terrorist organization that has been supported by al-Qaida, was "fighting the right cause in their battle against the United States and their allies in Afghanistan."
On Aug. 8, Deleon told the informant about a Skype video conference he had with Kabir.
Kabir, who left the U.S. for Afghanistan in July, said he was living in Kabul near a mosque and that the men from the Inland Empire should visit him. Everything would be taken care of, he said.
Kabir told Santana and Deleon that he had arranged for their travel.
Deleon frequently talked about the radical teachings of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born Muslim cleric who became a key figure in al-Qaida's affiliate in Yemen. Al-Awlaki was killed Sept. 30, 2011, by a missile fired by an American drone aircraft.
Santana told the informant during an Aug. 10 Skype session with Kabir that their cover story for traveling to Afghanistan would be that they were going to work at an orphanage.
On Nov. 5, Deleon and Santana met with the informant and discussed what they should pack for their trip to Afghanistan and what route they were using to go to the war-ravished country.
Gojali, who was friends with Santana and showed an interest in jihad, joined the group Nov. 5. They decided to pack only cold weather clothing, socks and cold medicine for Kabir and an Xbox gaming system, according to the complaint.
On Nov. 7, Deleon told the informant that he spoke to Kabir the previous day and that Kabir said he might be going on a suicide mission. Kabir later explained that he did not go on the suicide mission because he was sick.
The informant on Nov. 13 met with the three Inland Empire men at a Chino apartment to search for online flight information to Afghanistan.
The informant on Thursday paid for the travel plans for the three to go to Afghanistan by using his debit card and their money. The informant then contacted his handler in the FBI.
Deleon, Santana and Gojali arranged to depart from Mexico with a layover in Istanbul, Turkey, before arriving in Afghanistan to begin their al-Qaida training.
Surprise at fallout
Gojali's attorney John Aquilina said Tuesday he had just received the indictment and hadn't had a chance to review it in its entirety.
"I don't have enough information to make any kind of comment," Aquilina said.
Gojali is being held without bail at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
A bond hearing will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday in U.S. District Court in Riverside, where Aquilina said he will request bail for Gojali.
Santana and Deleon were remanded to federal custody at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
Neither Deleon's attorney, Randolph Driggs, nor Santana's attorney, Robert Scott, could be reached for comment Tuesday.
Kabir is in custody in Afghanistan and awaiting extradition to the United States.
If convicted, the defendants face a statutory maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.
The case, which is a continuing investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Riverside, will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.
The federal informant, a convicted pseudoephedrine trafficker, was provided with $250,000 and immigration benefits for his efforts.
Deleon's girlfriend, Kimberly Nguyen, said in an interview Tuesday morning that Deleon could not have done what the federal government has accused him of doing.
"He became a peaceful person when he converted to Islam," she said.
"He stopped drinking and using drugs, and life was precious to him."

**REMINDER -- ENROLL NOW FOR TOMORROW'S CHAT**FOS11 Chat Program Online Community Support GroupFilms that Inspire – Lessons Learned from "Reel" Life
Have you ever left a movie theatre feeling inspired and uplifted? Or watch a DVD that emotionally moves, motivates, heartens and heals you? Films are an example of how art imitates life. They allow us to make connections between a character's "reel" life and our experiences in real life. The transformational power of film can stir or move us to reflect on our own life experiences and inspire us to do things we didn't think we could do. The staying power of those messages bring us together to talk about the important issues in life – as we gather for coffee after the cinema or pizza in front of the TV or on blogs or at the water cooler. Movies can also be a powerful catalyst for healing and growth. It is a great self-care strategy which can make us feel good and provide relief.
AFI lists "It's a Wonderful Life" as the most inspiring movie of all time. What movies have inspired you? This chat session will provide an opportunity to share and talk about the movies that have affected our lives and what it means to us as well as how these films have been helpful in our healing process. It is the conversation inspired by the film that brings us to the next level in our own development-emotionally, socially and spiritually. Please join us for this discussion on Tuesday, March 25th, 7:45 PM EST. The chat will start at 8:00 PM promptly.
This online chat session will provide 9/11 victims' families, survivors, first responders, and others affected by the attacks at the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and Shanksville the opportunity to discuss issues and topics of importance in a safe, supportive environment. As a reminder, all participants must be FOS11 members (click here to learn about membership).

Melatonin helps establish normal sleep patterns to promote a more restful, relaxing sleep and better overall health. Getting a good night's sleep is even easier with Natrol Melatonin - a natural nightcap. A hormone found in the body, melatonin, helps promote more restful sleep. Natrol Melatonin provides relief for occasional sleeplessness, and helps promote a more relaxing night and better overall health. The body naturally releases melatonin in response to changes in light, with melatonin levels rising at night. It is in this way that melatonin helps promote sleep. There's nothing like a good night's sleep. When your body is well rested, there's nothing it can't do. But sometimes, you need some extra help when your head hits the pillow. Natrol Sleep Support products help you get the rest you need when it's time to turn out the lights. What is the maximum amount of Melatonin I can take each day? Experts indicate that short-term use (i.e., 3 months or less) of melatonin in a daily amount of 10 mg does not raise concern of harm for healthy adults. Long term use at this dosage requires recommendation and supervision by a health care professional. Who should not use Melatonin? Anyone that is pregnant or lactating, has or suspects a medical or psychological condition, or is taking prescription drugs should not use melatonin. Melatonin is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. What are the possible side effects I may experience from taking this product? The most common side effects associated with melatonin include headache, stomach discomfort, morning grogginess, daytime "hangover" or feeling of a "heavy head". The chance of side effects increase with higher doses. Is Natrol Melatonin vegetarian? Yes, Natrol Melatonin is 100% vegetarian.

The driver, Amadou Diallo, was a courtly African immigrant who made it a point to wear a tie as he worked.
I think of the many African American children who sat in one-room schoolhouses, desperately trying to get an education.
He was the first African American to receive the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellowship.
And of course, in each of these states, African Americans voted for Democrats in similar or larger numbers.
A group led by African Americans on the city council has been meeting in attempts to unite around a consensus black candidate.
After the extirpation of the Indians, the labor of African slaves was introduced.
It was not enough that the South was conquered, it must be humiliated by African domination!
We touched at two or three places on the African coast, and he had some communication with the Moors.
Had the grief at his wife's death plunged him into African wilds?
I had heard the click of the garden gate, and now the majestic figure of the great African explorer appeared upon the path.
Old English Africanas (plural), from Latin Africanus (adj.), from Africa (see Africa). Used of white residents of Africa from 1815; of black residents of the U.S. from 1790. As an adjective, by 1560s.

Flooded streets lead to water rescue in Charleston
From our News Partner at WCBD-TV:
The flooded streets in downtown Charleston led to an unfamiliar scene Sunday afternoon.
Ian Mills was directing cars around the flooded streets, as he always does when it rains, when he noticed something not so usual during his watery routine.
"All of a sudden, fire trucks [and] and an ambulance drove by," Mills said. "I looked down Ashley Avenue, and they were all heading towards a small car that was kind of up of the street. As I walked down there, they started bringing an inflated boat towards the car. It was the whole [Charleston] County Rescue Team."
As a woman was driving her car down Ashley Avenue between Fishburne and Congress Streets, a witness said her car became overtaken by water.
"It looked like her car got floated off of the road and into a tree, so I am sure that was very traumatic," he said.
After not being able to get out of the water, the woman called for help. The waist deep water created challenges for the rescuers.
"It was definitely waist deep," Mills said. "I only got to the top of my boot, but the rescue team had it up to their waist, so it was way over the hood of her car and up on the windshield."
After about 30 minutes, rescuers strapped the woman to a backboard and towed her down Ashley Avenue to an awaiting ambulance. She was taken to a nearby hospital.
For Mills, this unusual scene had him and his neighbors worried.
"All the neighbors were out. We were clapping at the rescue officials for helping this woman. We all just felt bad that for some reason she just couldn't get out of her car," he said.
The woman's name, identity and condition have not been released at this time.
If you encounter flooded streets, make sure not to drive by any barricades. If you must drive through the water, drive safely and steadily. Don't stop. To dry off your brakes, press the brake pedal with your left foot while slowly accelerating with your right.

Hi all,
I will be making a slideshow, and although I was already aware that it can be done via PHP, I recently discovered that it can also be done with CSS.
Initially, I was planning to do the slideshow in PHP, but now that I know it can also be done in CSS, I'm confused as to which route I should take.
As I've recently entered the world of CSS, when I realized the slideshow can be done in CSS, this made me want to do the slideshow in CSS--mainly because I'm intrigued by CSS and am just finding CSS to have so many delightful surprises.
However, upon further thought, I questioned myself as to whether or not it would actually be better to stick to PHP rather than CSS for the slideshow. The main reason I am thinking that PHP would actually be preferable in this regard is because in PHP, I will not have to worry about browser compatibility or display issues (unless I'm mistaken about this).
I do not know if this reason is valid enough, or whether it is in fact better to do the slideshow in PHP opposed to CSS.
I'd really appreciate hearing the advice that anyone here has to offer on this: would it be preferable to do a slideshow in CSS or PHP?
PHP and CSS are not alternatives to each other. PHP happens on your web server, and CSS happens in your web browser. So your browser doesn't know anything about what happens in PHP. As far as it is concerned, you just send it some images and some CSS styles for presenting those images on the page. If you don't use CSS, the page will be completely plain.
You can do a simple slideshow with CSS, or a more complex one with JavaScript. The only use for PHP in this situation is how you organize and serve up the images when the page is loaded.
Perhaps let us know what kind of slideshow you want and we can make suggestions.
This is a case of hammering with a screwdriver. PHP can write the mark up, and I suppose output the CSS for a slide show, but PHP itself doesn't make the sideshow.
As ralph said you can style your mark up ( which will probably be a UL, OL, or series of nested DIVs) with CSS or js to get the desired slide show effect. And while using CSS3 may cut down on crossbrowser friendliness, it may eliminate the need for js for those "complex" effects.
Technically speaking, you could do a sideshow in pure HTML ( static) and CSS3 with no .js IF you hand coded all the content, as opposed to having PHP build and serve it as needed. This would SUCK for slow bandwidth, tho.
This is a cool slider powered by JS, but which also slides thanks to CSS3 if JS is off:
(The CSS3 version won't work in all browsers, though.)
That's really nifty - except it doesn't have a pause button. Am I just not looking carefully enough?
Thanks for the helpful information, Ralph and Ray!
This slideshow will be a very simple slideshow with each image simply fading/dissolving into the next one after a constant specified duration. Each image would be a link as well. It would be nice to have the slideshow pause at the current slide upon hover over, but not essential as long as I'm able to have forward/backward arrows.
What I had previously mistakenly thought was a PHP slideshow turns out to actually have Javascript as I now see after more closely inspecting the code! The only reason I had previously been considering using that one is because I had thought it was entirely PHP.
So given this new information from you guys, I suppose the correct thing I should be asking about is "CSS vs. Javascript Slideshow".
That is a cool slider! Thanks, I've bookmarked it as I'm quite certain it will come in handy for different future projects.
As a side question, since PHP is still in the air here, for things that you can do in either HTML or PHP, is it preferable to use HTML in such cases instead of PHP? And if so, would this reason be because using HTML rather than PHP would be faster for the visitor as they won't have to wait for processing from the server, as well as being easier on the server? An example of what I mean is:
<html>Hello world</html>
<?php echo "Hello world"; ?>
An unfortunate limitation indeed. So the search for the perfect slider goes on ... (if there is such a thing, as I'm not too keen on sliders at the bet of time).
No, it's a very healthy mentality.
The important thing to consider is what happens if JS is off. If the content is still accessible, then it's fine, IMHO. For example, imagine a gallery of thumbnails that expand and hover over the page when clicked. With JS off, the thumbnails should still appear, and when you click on you get taken to the enlarged version on a separate page. Perfectly acceptable.
Likewise, if you have images in a slider, with JS off you should at least be able to manually scroll sideways to see the other images. (This can often easily be set up via CSS if the slider code doesn't come with this feature.)
for things that you can do in either HTML or PHP, is it preferable to use HTML in such cases instead of PHP? And if so, would this reason be because using HTML rather than PHP would be faster for the visitor as they won't have to wait for processing from the server, as well as being easier on the server?
In my experience, PHP is very fast, so I don't see a problem in using it ... as long as it's not over used. The hello world example probably is overkill. I mainly use PHP for "includes", where common information like the HTML for your header, footer and menu is stored in one place and pulled onto each page. Then you can modify them in one place and not have to update each page.
You use php to write the html of a web page. Often from a database interaction.So apart from includes giving you a bit of re-usable, edit once use many times, code, you need a reason to use php to write the html. PHP isn't a substitute for html. It's an extra step in creating the html. In the case of a database driven site, it's a must. But for an ordinary web site it is usually an extra step.

Security Expert: Our Southern Border Is A War Zone
In Part 2(to view Part 1 click here) of The Daily Caller's video interview with Clare Lopez, a senior official with the Center for Security Policy, she explains how the collapse of America's southern border was a planned, willful refusal to maintain national sovereignty. Citing a January budget request from the Department of Homeland Security requesting funding based on the expectation of new flows of some 65,000 immigrants including children, Lopez thinks Americans, especially at the border, are threatened.
She discusses how narco-traffickers are flowing through, organized in columns at night in military formations guarded by sentinels and scouts, and armed with advanced weaponry. To her, the southern border is a war zone. As these undocumented immigrants are dispersed by air or bus throughout America, the threat widens, she reports.

The Missouri Legislature voted by wide margins on Sept. 12 to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a bill meant to prevent employers or health insurance providers from being compelled to provide coverage for contraception, abortion or sterilization. The Missouri Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of the state's bishops, strongly supported the bill, saying that it "upholds religious liberty in a very practical way. Under this bill, no one can be forced to pay for surgical abortions, abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives or sterilizations when this violates their moral or religious beliefs." Nixon said in July that he had vetoed the bill because Missouri law already protected employers and individuals who had ethical or religious objections to contraceptive coverage, and he objected to the bill's extension of those protections to insurance companies. The Archdiocese of St. Louis said in a statement that the legislation "does nothing to make contraceptives illegal; in fact, they are widely available and affordable. It does, however, assert conscience rights for Missouri citizens when those rights are in jeopardy due to the federal Department of Health and Human Services mandate."

I discovered LuxeFinds while exploring pins on Pinterest. I would recommend starting in the About Us section because they really tell you what their site is about and who uses the site regularly. It's a luxury lifestyle curated collection geared towards women. But hold onto your hats, because I don't personally find it gender-specific!
Sure, men may not care about wedding, beauty and fashion, or home décor information, but they do like food, travel, and family. So don't think that you can't visit it because it's geared towards women (no really, the food section has treats in it that are to die for).
The site is really easy to use. You can navigate it in two ways. The first way is to click into the category that you want to browse from the navigation bar. The categories are Weddings, Beauty and Fashion, Home Décor, Food, Travel, and Family. Or you can use the drop down menu to select that category you want and then type in a keyword into the search engine. For example, you could set the category to Food and then type in a keyword like dessert, and you'll be presented with a bevy of dessert posts!
Once you've selected a category and the blog results come up, just click the image or title to be whisked away to the blog post. These posts may contain book reviews, product reviews, recipes, DIY, tutorials, etc. This is a great way to discover new blogs all around the net.
I love this site! And I hope that you will too. It can come in handy for so many different life events whether you're planning date night, a family vacation, or the wedding of your dreams! Check it out today!

Green Feats
It's as easy as tying your shoes.
Make a promise to the planet. Then show your support by lacing up with green.
Here are 10 athletes who did it. They're green athlete liaisons, and they and others—representing every Middlebury sports team—will be working during Earth Day weekend, starting April 22, to promote a sustainable culture in athletics. Along with Nordic Skiing Head Coach Andrew Gardner, they'll be collecting people's pledges to the environment and handing out green laces to remind them of their promises. The idea is inspired by GreenLaces.org founder and professional soccer player Natalie Spilger, who says, "It's time we stop only representing our sponsors and start representing our values."
These athletes are doing it. Are You?

BOLTON United Harriers, the defending champions, raced into an early lead in the 2012 Central Lancashire Grand Prix rankings when they fielded 37 competitors in the opening 5K event at Leverhulme Park.
Stockport Harrier Michael Sawrey won the event in 15mins 42secs to break the course record by five seconds, with Tony Valentine finishing third in 16:01 to lead the Bolton team to the men's team prize.
Jonothan Kay (16:25) underlined his potential by shaving more than half a minute off his time last year to finish sixth overall and second junior.
Third Bolton counter was Mark Swannell (16:49), winning his personal battle for eighth place with team-mate Shay Walker in the final 300m. Walker was nonetheless impressive, claiming another personal best (16:51) taking ninth place overall and second M40.
Ian Selby ran 17:07 to finish 15th overall and fourth M40 while Jack Garmory demonstrated that the Harriers have good youngsters coming through when he clocked 17:51 to finish 24th overall and fifth junior.
Steve Houghton (44th in 18:56), James Rideout (51st and fifth M40 in 19:07), Chris Povey (52nd in 19:07) and Nathan Lee (53rd in 19:08) made up the 10 counters for Bolton, who topped the CLGP A rankings with 185 points, ahead of Horwich RMI Harriers (322 pts).
Steven Watson (19:56, 72nd), Gary Jones (19:21, 55th), Andrew Doyle (19:24, 57th), Jon Gettinby (19:29, 63rd), Daniel Johnson (19:38, 66th), Kaan Rassad (20:25, 84th), Ken Fowler (20:29, 86th and second M55) and Ian Meeds (20:47, 92nd) helped Bolton's second string to claim the lead in the B team rankings (483pts) over Burnden Road Runners (665pts).
Louisa Thompson (18:05), of CLGP debutant club Leigh Harriers, won the women's race to the surprise of defending 5K and CLGP champion, Maria Lowe of Horwich RMI, who finished runner-up in 18:54.
The lack of representation in women's endurance events has been Bolton's weakness in recent years, but a group of new members have bonded well and created a good team ethic. The ever-improving Sarah Saxon (22:41, 15th) was the club's first finisher, closely followed by Lindsay Warburton (23:03, 19th) and Laura Crawley (25:30) as Bolton finished sixth in the women's team event.
With Emma Astbury (27:26), Liz Hopley (27:28) and Jane Lim (31:45) also finishing, Bolton ended the day fifth in the CLGP women's ranking.
Other notable Bolton performances were: Alex Donnelly (23:50), Eric Ranicar (20:48), Phil Boardman (24:09), Nick Howarth (21:50), Dunc Rankin (21:20), Joshua Sabery (21:40), Shaun Lomax (22:19), Craig McKenzie (22:38), Adrian Costello (22:53), Paul Kearney (22:56), David Huddleston (25:05) and Jacob Kearney (26:43).
The next CLGP race will be a five-miler at Smithills on Sunday, March 4.

Santa Claus is coming to Brownhelm Township
In Brownhelm Twp, Lorain County, Santa Clauses will fan out Christmas Eve delivering toys and candy to good little girls and boys.
The tradition began in 1931, when a young girl, a member of the Brownhelm Congregational Church, told the Rev. Ralph Albright that Santa wouldn't be coming to her house that year because of the Great Depression.
Albright suggested church members donate clothes and toys to the children of the congregation, so santa wouldn't leave anyone out on Christmas.
The tradition has continued for 80 years, and is carried on by Brownhelm Community Christmas, an organization dedicated to making sure the annual event goes smoothly.
Volunteers mail letters to each of the township's 800 homes, and residents must reply, saying if they would like Santa to visit. this year, about 300 families are participating.
Kathy Whitmore, a resident who is in charge of one of the 20 routes, said the annual visits require extensive planning and about 100 volunteers. some of the Santas will be accompanied by elves.
Whitmore has been involved in the community christmas for about 30 years, and previously worked in advertising at the Chronicle-Telegram newspaper.
Children through age 10 receive a small gift, and children 11 through 14 receive a bag of candy.
Retired people receive fruit baskets. The items are paid for by resident donations. Whitmore tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, the event costs about $1,500 a year to conduct. Get breaking news sent to your mobile phone.Text "news" to 21095.

When I saw that we were going to get to review 1st Grade Math, A+ Interactive MATH – Home School Edition for A+ TutorSoft, Inc. I was super excited. I thought this will free up some extra time and hopefully challenge Leann. We reviewed 1st grade math, but they offer grades 1st – 6th with Pre Algebra and Algebra 1. You can choose from online or a CD versions.
The goal of the A+ TutorSoft is to help students of all ability and grade levels reach their educational potential by offering expert instruction that is engaging, easy to follow and easily accessible. Using a proprietary learning platform that combines voice, visual and text-based instructions, we make learning MATH easy.
Leann was excited to have her own online program that actually required that she do work on the computer.
She seemed to do better with her headphones on. She actually listened better and would answer the teacher when asked a question. She now "sees" patterns and can add quicker in her head since starting the program.
Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. When you sign up you have to create a teacher profile and then you can then add students to your class. Once you have assigned the student to the right class, you can set up the worksheets and quizzes ( I didn't do this, but if we were doing a higher grade I might have). Then you set up the student account. When I was setting everything up, it did take me a little bit to figure out my way around the website. But once I did it was very straight forward. I set up Leann's account and I thought there might be a different sign in screen for the kiddos but no it's the same as the parents/teachers page. There are a few pages you need to go through to actually get to the lessons. First the child signs in, then they need to click on their class, then they need to launch the class and finally they have their lessons Once you reach the lessons, you pick the unit that you are working on. (The picture below shows Lesson 2.5) The lesson begins and a video starts. The voice in the lesson explains the concept, shows the concept and then asks questions. The pause in between the question and when the program gives the answer could be a bit longer and I did notice that the program always say your right and then gives the answer. There was a few times Leann said, "Mom, I didn't answer and she said I was right!" Maybe a generic "Great Job" or "If you answered…" would be better. After the lesson is over, you have the option of doing the lesson again if you need more time, or you can do the Interactive Q & A, which I really liked. They asked the questions and read the answers to the kid and you just picked the correct answer. It also told you if you answered correctly. Then it's time to do the worksheets so you can get credit for completing the lesson. Unfortunately, the worksheets are not interactive, so your little one needs to be able to read the questions themselves or you need to help with the worksheets and the tests. You can also print out the worksheets for extra practice. Leann couldn't wait to see how well she did at the end of the worksheets and tests.
Overall I think this program is great. The lessons are well received by Leann and she asks to do her math. There are a few glitches, but I'm sure that the development team is working them out. The tech support is very efficient and quick. (I lost my sign in info). Once you learn your way around the website everything is very straight forward. I would recommend this program!!
The cost of this interactive math program is: Monthly only $19.95, Quarterly only $49.99, Full Year only $124.99. Or you can sign up for a FREE 1 month trail and have your child take the Free placement test.
But for a limited time A+ TutorSoft, Inc. has decided to be very generous and offer this wonderful coupon for 50% off, but you need to hurry because the offer is only good until the end of March!!!
Check out what the rest of the Crew is saying about A+!!!
Wishing you many Blessings

transcript:
For the vampire bat, super-powered ears are also its eyes.
And they work in astonishing ways.
At dusk, when the day ends for many creatures, the vampire bat's day begins.
They leave their roost in search of food.
To navigate, they rely on a special trick of hearing, called echolocation.
To understand what's around them...bats produce a high-pitched noise.
The noise registers beyond the range of human hearing.
But it travels outward...from the bat's mouth...hits the objects around it...and bounces back.
These sounds then tell the bat what's around it.
Fast enough to let it fly through jungles without hitting trees...and fast enough to find prey...like the peccary.
This bat sizes up its prey...and decides to wait for the 40-pound beast to go to sleep.
Once the peccaries turn in, the bat cozies up to a likely spot where the feast can begin.
Along with super-powered ears, these vampires have heat sensors in their noses.
This guides them to where warm blood flows just beneath the victim's skin.
With her scalpel-sharp teeth, she makes an incision to draw blood.
They only get a taste before the peccary wakes up.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Kilyin, Jan 6, 2013.
Sore loser punks. You deserved all of it.
w00t!! :suxskins:
I'm glad the skins lost.
However... I hope someone breaks both Sherman's knees in half, then physically removes his lower jaw from his mouth so he'll never be able to flap his gums again.
LOL. What a bunch of cby's. You lost get over it.
Having said that. :skins:
It was the perfect game!
Skins get the early lead and the fans are in their RG3 glory. From the 14-0 lead the Seabags dominate the game but as luck would have it they still trail for much of the game - keeping the Skins fans hopes alive.
And to end it all just perfectly the bad snap and the RG3 limping off the field.
Could not have scripted it any better to devastate the Skins fans!!!!!!!!
That game made this Cowboys fan's day!!!!!!!!!!! :skins: :suxskins:
Garcon is an idiot! Just a typical Foreskin.
Where are all the skins trolls now?
Agreed. Today is a good day. Trent should have clubbed Sherman like a baby seal with his helmet.
Him and his stupid spinning the ball after every catch, D. Hall grabbing and holding all game like he does every game and not getting called for it and then getting up in every players face after each play while not doing anything/making plays, RG3 hype machine, on and on. Enough, good riddance.
LoL. I love how the Seahawk reacted. Bye bye....bye bye! Love it! **** the Redskins and every team in our division! They hate us? When are we going to start hating them!
Haven't seen nary a trace of one since midway through the 4th qtr.
Lol everyone should check out twitter. The Redskin fans are still bragging over beating the Cowboys despite the lose.
Aaaw....Sad. :laugh1:
Hate to agree w/ you, but I will have to agree with you.
That stupid spin the ball thing Garconie does, to me seems like taunting. It isn't a 1st down arm extend thing. It is using the ball as a prop, almost like spiking it. I just don't see the difference.
D-Hall is a joke. They let him get away w/ way to much this year. That jawing he does. I wish someone would just knock his teeth out and take a couple games off.
Do the world a favor
All kidding aside, I do not see the attraction of posting on a Cowboys forum if you are a fan of the Redskins and they're in the middle of a playoff game with Seattle. They will stop at nothing to stalk us.
Right here my friend.
Well at least you know WHAT you are. Glad you are still here posting nothing because you just got your teefs kicked in.
Happy New Year and getting punted from the play-offs.
But hey...at least you were there to get punted right? heheh
Trolls...hating on the Cowboys. Sometimes they call themselves Cowboy fans, but their really not.

Local Snowflake Makes Good
October 3, 2006—
A local specimen is one of four Holiday Snowflakes commemorative postage stamps to be issued by the U.S. Postal Service Thursday, Oct. 5.
The official kickoff will be at the New York Mega StampShow at Madison Square Garden and not, unfortunately, in Houghton, where the snowflake in question was photographed by Caltech physicist Kenneth Libbrecht during a January 2005 visit to Michigan Tech.
He came to the university at the behest of physics professor John Jaszczak. "I found his book 'The Snowflake: Winter's Secret Beauty' in the Campus Store by chance, and it was amazing," he recalls. Thinking that Libbrecht would be a good speaker to host in the heart of snow country, Jaszczak asked Rozsa Center Director Valerie Pegg to invite him to give a lecture. As it turned out, Libbrecht had long been wanting to come to the U.P., so in addition to giving a talk, he spent two weeks in Houghton, much of it capturing snowflakes with his cold-weather camera equipment outside the Best Western Franklin Square Inn.
Libbrecht himself never expected his snowflakes to be reproduced millions of times over on postage stamps. "It was quite a surprise and a delight to get that phone call," he said. "I gave one of the guys from the post office a selection of snowflakes to choose from, and those are the ones he picked." Of the other three, one is from Alaska and two are from Ontario.
Because of its relatively warm temperatures, the Copper Country doesn't always produce the most beautiful snowflakes, Libbrecht notes, though he did find some unusual formations he calls capped needles that he hasn't seen anywhere else. The finest, most delicate crystals form in the super-cold conditions more typical of Amasa.
Nevertheless, he says, "My new book, 'Field Guide to Snowflakes,' includes a lot of pictures from your neck of the woods.
"Yours aren't the best snowflakes I've seen, but you make up for it in volume," he adds. "Boy, do you ever. I practically had to carry a shovel everywhere."
Libbrecht, who studies gravitational waves, watches snowflakes for the love of it. "I just find them kind of interesting," he says. "I encourage people to get a magnifying glass and take a closer look."
In any event, Jaszczak, who is the adjunct curator of the Seaman Mineral Museum, is thrilled to see a local snowflake on a postage stamp. "I'm excited about it," he says. "It is a Michigan mineral."
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Theres such a good wedgie peak and everyones too far over. MIND SURFING!!!! Would be really fun on a longboard to go out and mess around.
A couple of the sets are chest to head. Real throaty and shallow down the beach.
Yeah it was zoomed in when I was looking at it. Now I see the whole picture. I got some fun ones today in Rodanthe, as I was walking down the road to get to the car I found an iPad laying in the sand to the side of the road it was waterlogged so I smashed it to now find out I could have sent it back and got it fixed. I need to think more, bummed but still stoked.
Nah dude, that's good, smashing the iPad.
My friend took a video of me smashing it. It cut my finger open. I officially fail at everything I try to do.

Backtrack 4 is no longer supported - which is why the sub-forum and synaptic are not functioning
Hello everybody,
I would like to precise that I'am on Backtrack 4 and I post here because the BT4 forum seems frozen.
Here is my problem :
When I try to use the command apt-get or tu use synaptic to download new applications (gedit,texlive,scilab...), I get some error message like :
"W: Failed to fetch http://archive.offensive-security.com/pool/main/g/gtksourceview2/libgtksourceview2.0-common_2.4.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb" ...
At first i thought it has something to do with my configuration to link the shell and synaptic to internet.
But for synaptic my setting is "direct connexion" which is correct.
Moreover I can't ping archive.offensive-security.com in my shell but i can ping other websites whithout problems.
I don't know if the repositories are no more accessible or if it has something to do with my connection (I changed of internet box recntly...).
Some clues would be welcome!
Thank you!

I received the following email from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands lawyer, J. Russell Pate of the Pate Law Firm via the ABA International Litigation Committee Listerv:
Dear International Litigation Member,
For your information, please find attached a Complaint [ pdf copy of Second Amended Complaint] regarding the right to vote for Congressional representatives and U.S. President for the United States Virgin Islands. The United Nations has noted that the islands are a non-self governing territory without the ability to participate in every level of government which has control over them.
The Complaint is a strait-forward historical expose of racial discrimination in the U.S. Congress which resulted in the denial of the Virgin Islands (a majority non-white jurisdiction) to be deprived of the right to participate in federal elections.
J. Russell Pate, Esq.
The Pate Law FirmRoyal Dane Mall,
2nd Fl.P.O. Box 890St. Thomas , VI 00804

Fax 340.227-5299 Cell
"Without the jury, there is no justice."
The pleading makes for very interesting and informative reading.

One Direction to release new album on November 29th
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
One Direction has announced the title and release date of their upcoming third studio album. The British boyband revealed on Friday that the album will be called Midnight Memories, and is set for a global release on November 25th.
It will be available for pre-order starting Monday, September 9th. Both of One Direction's previous two albums have hit number one on the Billboard 200.
The announcement comes a week after the group's concert documentary This Is Us premiered in U.S theaters. The movie made 18-million dollars in its opening Labor Day weekend, but still came in second behind Lee Daniels' The Butler in the box office race.
A tracklist for One Direction's new album has not been released, but it will feature the group's latest single "Best Song Ever," which took the "Song of the Summer" award at last month's MTV Video Music Awards.

Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College volleyball team suffered a 3-1 loss to the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in their final home match of the season in Boshamer Gymnasium on Tuesday night, 22-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-11.
Brevard edged the Bears in the first set after rallying from an 11-6 deficit to open the match. The Tornados tied the Bears at 13-13 and later 16-16 before finally gaining a solid lead. The Tornados enjoyed a 5-1 run fueled by four Kortney Conner service aces to take a 21-17 lead. A Lenoir-Rhyne attack error clinched the set victory for BC.
The Bears took over control of the game following the first set, winning each of the next three sets by an increasing margin. Lenoir-Rhyne's Ashley Wells finished with a match-high 13 kills while Meredith Lutz tallied 37 assists and 14 digs.

Dalton gets weekly NFL award
Bengals QB Andy Dalton today was named by the NFL as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
In a clash of division leaders on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, Dalton led a 42-28 win over Indianapolis with a 120.5 passer rating. He completed 24-of-35 (68.6 percent) for 275 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions, and he also had an eight-yard rushing TD. His TD passes went 29 yards to WR Marvin Jones, one yard to TE Jermaine Gresham and nine yards to WR A.J. Green.
Earlier this season, Dalton was named Offensive Player of the Week after an Oct. 13 performance at Buffalo, and he also was named Offensive Player of the Month for October. He is only the second Bengal to win a total of three weekly and/or monthly league awards in a season. The only previous instance was by S David Fulcher in 1989 (two weekly and one monthly). The NFL has issued the weekly awards since 1984 and the monthly awards since 1986.
As a team, the Bengals this season have won six weekly or monthly league awards, just one short of the franchise-record seven achieved last season.
In addition to Dalton's three awards, other winners this season have been P Kevin Huber (Special Teams for Week 13 at San Diego), LB Vontaze Burfict (Defense for Week 11 vs. Cleveland) and WR Marvin Jones (Offense for Week 8 vs. N.Y. Jets).
With three games remaining, the Bengals are one short of the franchise-record seven weekly or monthly awards earned last season.

Id like to edit some of my post in the past becuase those links to my website were for testing purposes and I dont want those links active.
As a rule, we don't go back and edit posts, so it's important to think ahead when posting links. You could do a .htaccess redirect of those links.
and how do i do that?
If you don't already have a .htaccess file in your root folder, create one. (You may have to create a file called htaccess.txt, upload it, and then rename it simple to .htaccess [dot at the front, no extension at the end].)
.htaccess
Inside that file, create redirects like this:
Redirect 301 /folder/oldpage.html /newfolder/newpage.html
If that doesn't make sense, perhaps head over to the Apache forum for more details.
no that makes sense just wish i didn't have to do all that lol
No i don't want to edit anything i was just looking the posting.

CNN's Carol Costello Asks If Food-Stamp Challenge Is A "Pointless Exercise"
CNN anchor Carol Costello questioned Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Cory Booker's efforts to raise awareness of hunger in America, asking whether his decision to take the food-stamp challenge amounted to a publicity stunt. But Costello's own reporting on food insecurity sheds light on the need for greater public awareness, even as funding for supplemental food programs faces cuts during the final weeks of 2012.
In November, Booker announced [1] that he would take the food-stamp challenge [2] and live for one week on a food budget equal to that of a New Jersey resident on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. That came after a Twitter user challenged the mayor over the need for federal nutrition assistance. Booker's challenge began Monday [3] and will last a week.
On Tuesday, CNN correspondent Alina Cho reported [4] that Booker was taking the challenge to demonstrate the need for "deeper consideration" of Americans who rely on SNAP benefits and to "reduce the stigma" that often comes with reliance on the program. Costello questioned the long-term impact of Booker's campaign and asked whether it was "helpful or a pointless exercise."
Booker's challenge comes at a critical time for SNAP funding, as House Republicans push to reduce spending [6] on the effective antipoverty program [7] during year-end negotiations over broader spending cuts and the federal farm bill, which includes SNAP spending. Costello herself noted [8] the push to cut SNAP funding during a discussion of the farm bill in September.
And, as Costello herself has demonstrated, public understanding of food insecurity and federal nutrition programs is often ill informed:
- During a discussion [9] of the farm bill in July, Costello said, "I don't think many people know that food stamps are under the farm bill for some reason." She went on to note that, despite that lack of understanding, the program is "not popular with many Americans."
- In September, Costello noted that supporters of Mitt Romney pointed to use of SNAP benefits to defend his controversial comments that 47 percent of Americans felt entitled to food and refused to take personal responsibility for their actions. Costello said [10]: "I will say the fact remains there are more people on food stamps now than ever before. I mean does Romney, you know, as inelegantly, as he put it, does he have a point? A lot of people would say he does."
In questioning the effectiveness of Booker's efforts to raise awareness of this issue, Costello opined:
I'm not saying Booker is insincere. I'm just wondering what living for just a week in someone else's shoes really proves. It's not like the food stamp challenge hasn't been done before. The mayors of Philadelphia and Phoenix, even super chef Mario Batali have done it. What will it tell us that we don't already know? The talk back question for you today: is Cory Booker's food stamp challenge helpful or a pointless exercise?
Her own reporting on what Americans don't already know about food insecurity provides an answer.

You probably don't recognize the names. I had to search pretty hard to find them.
These 13 people were on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis on Aug. 1, 2007, when it collapsed without warning. They all died. Sadiya Sahal, a 23-year-old Somali refugee, was driving with her toddler, Hana. Sahal, a nursing student, was five months pregnant, according to The New York Times. Christina Sacorafas, 45, was heading to a nearby church where she was about to teach a dance class. The stories go on and on.
Recently, I was thinking about that awful summer day when these 13 people died and 145 others were injured. I had flown back from CONEXPO/CON-AGG, boarded the train from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, and headed to the office. The rickety train was starting and stopping due to track maintenance, causing the short trip to take double the usual time. When I departed at my stop, I had to carefully maneuver the crumbling stairs at the train station while carrying my luggage. And sadly, many consider Chicago one of the better-maintained and well-run cities in the nation.
Just a few days earlier at CONEXPO in Las Vegas, someone asked Duane Wilder, president of Liebherr Construction Equipment, if his company benefited from the $787 billion Stimulus Bill Congress passed in 2009. "We appreciated it, but it didn't have the impact on the industry that we hoped it would," Wilder said. "What we need is a long-term highway bill."
He speculated correctly that the U.S. needs a fuel tax to pay for repairing our highway system. "But that's not going to happen," he added, again correctly. With gasoline prices surging to over $4 per gallon, our politicians don't have the courage to enact a fuel tax with a presidential election cycle gearing up.
For several weeks after the 2007 accident, politicians postured before the television cameras and called for repairs to our aging bridges, roads, dams, and more. Since then there has been silence.
Months after the I-35W bridge collapse, the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials released a report that said it would cost $140 billion to repair and modernize just the nation's 600,000 bridges. This does not include other highways, mass transit, dams, and other infrastructure.
The nation needs a long-term serious plan to make these repairs. Our industry has the perfect material and technology to make the nation's infrastructure strong again. Our associations have said all of the right things but must keep the pressure on. The construction community proved it could act swiftly when called upon. The bridge that fell was rebuilt and open to traffic just 13 months later. This issue must be put on the table for the 2012 election.
The 13 names above will remain in a special place on our website. Until the nation gets serious about its infrastructure, the people killed in Minneapolis will have died in vain.

Wow, I love my Pure/Torq package! I saw Mike Dowdy on the pro tour and he won the Jr. Mens heat on this board. I thought this was a beginner board, well it is and it performs like a pro model. Molded in fins give great tracking and the continuous rocker is fast and gives predictable pop. Mike can land 900's on this board! So stoked!

Paul McCartney plays surprise Bonnaroo soundcheck for 300 lucky fans
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Paul McCartney isn't officially scheduled to play Manchester, Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival until 9pm Friday night. But on Thursday, the first day of the fest, he delighted a small gathering of lookie-loos and nearby campers when he hit the darkened main stage for a surprise soundcheck.
Around 9pm Thursday, the revered Beatle and Bonnaroo headliner prepared for his Friday set with an unannounced, 30-minute run-through of such classics as "Let It Be," "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite," "Lady Madonna," "Magical Mystery Tour," "Eight Days a Week," and "Penny Lane," while the spectators who'd unwittingly stumbled upon a Macca mini-concert stared on in astonishment.
Sample tweets from elated fans included: "I just sobbed listening to @PaulMcCartney 's SOUNDCHECK imagine me tomorrow night"; "You know when a soundcheck isn't just a soundcheck...when it's @PaulMcCartney!"; "Watching Paul McCartney sound check, about to cry"; "Listening to Paul McCartney sound check is infinitely more important than anything else I had planned for tonight"; and "Oh man, @PaulMcCartney was amazing as expected. Oh, wait, only the sound check? ;) basically DOUBLE Paul?!?! I love #bonnaroo."
Music site The Bluegrass Sitch later tweeted: "Best show at @Bonnaroo so far?? PAUL MCCARTNEY'S SOUND CHECK."
A handful of grainy Vines (seen above) and Instagram photos hit the web following Paul's surprise appearance, but you can watch his official concert Friday night with crystal clarity from 9-11:30pm CT in the livestream player!

I, for one, would like to thank R4B for starting and continuing to contribute to this thread. This is my favorite thread on the site to check into once or twice a week. I love the videos, some of the songs I remember, some I don't. The best part is the discussions that follow: "what happened to X" "I had forgotten about Y" "the total absurdity of the RRHOF and it's Rolling Stone influence".
I am now going to attempt my first video post. If this works "I Wish I a Girl" by Henry Lee Summer will be on here. This is an AOR hit that reminds me of a simpler time (that probably never existed).

Chilean architect Smiljan Radic, Hon. AIA, is the designer for the 2014 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, which will be open to the public from June 26 to October 19 in London's Kensington Gardens. His 3,767-square-foot bulbous structure, held up by stone monoliths, will be made from translucent fiberglass that allows ambient light to filter into the interior, which will house a café. "Externally, the visitor will see a fragile shell suspended on large quarry stones," Radic said in a release. "At night, thanks to the semi-transparency of the shell, the amber tinted light will attract the attention of passers-by, like lamps attracting moths."
Radic's design, with its exterior opacity and organic form, is a stark contrast to the 2013 pavilion, designed by Sou Fujimoto, which focused on the Japanese architectural technique of bracketing. That latticelike form, created from 20mm-diameter steel poles, drew nearly 200,000 visitors, making it one of the institution's most visited summer pavilions to date.
Since the program began in 2000, the Serpentine Gallery has selected a parade of luminaries to design its annual folly. While Radic is in good company with the likes of Peter Zumthor (who designed the 2011 pavilion), and Toyo Ito, Hon. FAIA (in 2002), he is perhaps the one of the lesser known architects selected to date. (Zaha Hadid, Hon. FAIA, designed the institution's inaugural summer pavilion, and completed a new permanent space on the campus, the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, last year).
Prolific in his home country of Chile, Radic is known for projects such as the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino and the Restaurant Mestizo, both in Santiago, and the House for the Poem of the Right Angle in Vilches. His international commissions include The Wardrobe and the Mattress in Tokyo and The Bus Stop Commission in Kumbranch, Austria. He has also lecture extensively, and in addition to running an practice, which he opened in Santiago in 1995, he has mounted several international exhibitions of his work.
But it wasn't until his installation at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale, a collaboration with sculptor Marcela Correa in the exhibition "People Meet in Architecture," that he caught the Serpentine Galleries' eye. "Radic is a key protagonist of an amazing architectural explosion in Chile," Julia Peyton-Jones, director, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, co-director, Serpentine Galleries, said in a release. "While enigmatically archaic, in the tradition of romantic follies, Radic's designs for the Pavilion also look excitingly futuristic, appearing like an alien space pod that has come to rest on a Neolithic site."
During the day, visitors will see the pavilion as a social space. On several Friday evenings during the structure's four-month tenure in the park, it will host site-specific events as part of the Gallery's Park Nights series. AECOM will serve as cost and project manager for Radic's pavilion, in addition to providing engineering and technical services.
