When it comes to analyzing social data, "where" matters. After the topics of conversations, perhaps the strongest connection between social conversations online and the offline world is location. Location is an implicit part of what we do, who we know, what we need, etc. For years now at Gnip, the most requested feature for our existing data products has been "more geodata" to help our customers understand the offline locations that are relevant to online conversations. Today we're pleased to announce a major step toward meeting that demand: the public beta launch of our new Profile Geo enrichment.
The Profile Geo enrichment is simple. Location data is provided publicly by millions of users in their profiles on social networks, but it's rarely delivered in a normalized format with consistent latitude/longitude coordinates that are necessary for software to ingest the data and make use of it. The Profile Geo enrichment from Gnip normalizes this data to common geographies (for instance, "NYC," "Manhattan," etc. all map to "New York City, NY, US") and provides latitude/longitude coordinates for those places so it's easy to plot social data on a map.
Our customers are hungry to analyze Twitter through a geographic lens. As a brand, it can be great to know that people are talking about my brand and products online, but few things make those conversations more actionable than knowing where those conversations are taking place. Do we need to change our marketing campaign in a region? Focus on improving customer service? As government or civil society organizations responding to crises, location is the key to identifying need in an actionable way and then deploying resources effectively. It may be obvious we need clean water and blankets, but where is the most important place to send them?
For this new enrichment, we started with Twitter because it offers the biggest initial gain for our customers. While less than 2% of Tweets in the Twitter Firehose contain latitude/longitude coordinates for Twitter's "geotagged" Tweets, more than half of all Tweets contain a profile location value from a user. And while just 1% of users generate approximately two-thirds of all geotagged Tweets (according to this helpful paper from our friend Kalev Leetaru and his colleagues), profile location data is much more evenly distributed. In that way, looking at profile location data "democratizes" the data that appear when mapping Twitter content – our customers can now hear from the whole world of Twitter users and not just this 1%.
This new premium enrichment from Gnip provides several key benefits for social data analysis. First, it increases the amount of usable Twitter geodata available for analysis by more than 15x for Twitter. Second, it adds a new kind of Twitter geodata from what may be natively available from social sources. It's important to think about the three different types of location that exist in social media to understand this benefit.
Activity Location: Where the activity (Tweet, Check-in, etc.) directly came from, via GPS signal on a user's device or association with a known venue location. This is the kind of location that provides latitude/longitude natively in Twitter's or Foursquare's firehoses.
Profile Location: The place the user provides as their location in their profile. They may or may not be there when posting to a social network.
Mentioned Locations: Places the user talks about in a post or check-in. These places may not have anything to do with where the person lives or where the person is when posting, e.g. "I can't wait for Gnip to open its new office in the Maldives." (The Maldives in this case might as well be a fictitious place considering the likelihood that will happen.)
Profile location data can be used to unlock demographic data and other information that is not otherwise possible with activity location. For instance, US Census Bureau statistics are aggregated at the locality level and can provide basic stats like household income. Profile location is also a strong indicator of activity location when one isn't provided.
To get a sense of the impact of the Profile Geo enrichment in practice, we worked with the team at MapBox again to create a map of Tweets about the San Francisco Giants over the past few weeks (PS: check out the other maps we made together if you haven't seen them). During that time period, over two thousand Tweets occurred at AT&T Park that were geotagged with the activity location. With the addition of the Profile Geo enrichment for the same Tweets, it's now possible to quickly create a map that shows the relationship between activity location (all in the Park), and profile location – where those people came from to watch the game. Next time the Giants franchise wants to think about tourist attendance numbers, they'll have a new way to do so. Check it out.
SF Giants Tweets from the stadium (center point of the orange lines) link to the profile locations of those users around the globe, showing how far they traveled. Click on the "USA" toggle to see the whole world. Hover over states/countries to see total counts.
The Profile Geo enrichment is now available to all Gnip customers as an option on their Twitter data products in this beta release. We're looking forward to seeing how this enrichment changes what can be done with location and social data.

That sound you just heard may have been a collective sigh of relief from vehicle owners across the state.
Just five days after announcing a controversial proposal to triple vehicle license fees, a South Bay legislator is having a change of heart.
In the wake of backlash that extended from the halls of the Capitol in Sacramento to his district boundaries and even the confines of his own home, state Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Redondo Beach, is backing down from a plan to restore vehicle license fees slashed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hundreds of constituents reached out either personally, through his staff, or on social networking sites to oppose the proposal, Lieu said.
Even his wife, Betty, didn't like the idea.
"My wife said she was going to lead a group to oppose the ballot measure," Lieu said. "She was half joking."
Last week, Lieu told the editorial board of the Los Angeles News Group that the proposal to restore the 2 percent transportation system user fee would generate up to $4 billion annually for roads and public transportation. The fees, which currently stand at 0.65 percent of a vehicle's value, were slashed from 2 percent by Schwarzenegger. If it had been approved by the Legislature, the measure could have gone before voters in November 2014.
Reaction to Lieu's plan was swift and fierce.
"Do you think raising the car fees will create more car sales????" wrote user Bonnie Campbell Morrison on Lieu's Facebook page under a post congratulating the Stanford football team for their recent victory over Oregon. "WTH???? How can people afford $1400.00 a year in registration???? How??? This is insane!!!"
Lieu said he decided on Sunday to rescind the proposal.
"I'm trying to be responsive to constituents," Lieu said. "It became clear to me that the best way to be responsive was to undo the proposal."
Lieu crafted the vehicle license tax plan with Transportation California, a lobbying group that includes construction companies and labor unions. On Monday, Executive Director Bert Sandman said the group would still try to push the proposal forward.
"We're disappointed, but we're looking to the bigger picture," Sandman said. "We're committed to look for new sources of funding for infrastructure and, ultimately, to be on a measure in 2014."
Lieu's proposed vehicle license tax increase was vetted through voter focus groups in Los Angeles and San Diego, starting in the fall of 2011 and stretching through the spring of 2012, Sandman said.
"I'm surprised he received so much backlash," he added. "Certainly, infrastructure conditions haven't improved since then."
But the attitude of voters apparently has. Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative aimed at restoring education funding, passed earlier this month. Senior state lawmakers warned against floating another tax hike to voters, Sandman said.
Lieu said he had failed to properly understand the post-election political climate.
"I think I hadn't quite caught up to what the change meant," Lieu added. "Now we're in a different situation. The voters just voted to increase taxes for the first time in a long time. I think it's important to demonstrate to our voters that we're spending that money correctly and appropriately."
Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, applauded Lieu's decision.
"It's good that (Lieu) has come to his senses," Vosburgh said. "It's about time these liberal Democrats start thinking about the working people here in California. It seems like government is constantly coming for a handout from taxpayers."
Although Lieu said he was not contacted by the governor, he acknowledged the large amount of opposition by his colleagues in the Democratic-controlled Senate, several of whom had issued statements opposing the measure. Lieu said he had planned on introducing the vehicle license fee bill during the 2013 session, and will continue to find ways to fund upgrades to the state's roadways.
But for now, his proposal is off the legislative calendar.
"My wife is certainly happy," Lieu said.

WATCH: Daft Punk releases 'Instant Crush' music video
Listen to Daft Punk on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas gets all dolled up as a Napoleon-era mannequin museum piece in Daft Punk's new video for "Instant Crush."
In the clip, the mannequin version of Casablancas falls for a young maiden doll, but due to a change at the museum, the love dolls are separated until they are tragically reunited in the clip's blazing finale. The museum love story is intercut with the real-life, leather jacket-clad Casablancas preening on a circular platform as he mimes his heavily processed vocals, singing over a mellow groove, "And we will never be alone again / 'Cause it doesn't happen every day / Kinda counted on you being a friend / Can I give it up or give it away."
It's unclear if Daft Punk's helmet-wearing main men Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalterappear in the clip; but they might be undercover as a knight in armor, a deep-sea diver, or an astronaut, all of which appear in the video.
Earlier this month, Daft Punk teased the clip on French television. "Instant Crush" is featured on Random Access Memories, the same album that spawned the song of the summer "Get Lucky" as well as the follow-up single "Lose Yourself to Dance."
The duo is offering an elaborate boxed set of the album, which has made many of the year's "best of" lists, via their website for a whopping $275. Packaged in a cloth-bound box with the album's title in gold foil, it includes a pair of gold- and silver-plated USB drives featuring high-resolution versions of the album's bonus tracks; as well as videos of "Lose Yourself to Dance" and the Coachella version of "Get Lucky," a pair of robot posters, a 56-page hardcover book with a foreword by Paul Williams, a 180-grade double-vinyl version of the album, a 10-inch version of "Giorgio by Moroder," and more.
Casablancas is just one of several noted collaborators featured on Random Access Memories. The set also includes collaborations with noted disco producer Giorgio Moroder, Chic's Nile Rodgers, current-day hitmaker Pharrell Williams, indie star Panda Bear, legendary songwriter Paul Williams, and others. The duo has been spotlighting their guest stars on a web series, dubbed "The Collaborators," on their website, but so far an episode featuring Casablancas has yet to materialize.

Collusion: Conservatives Still Struggling Mightily With 2012
Brent Bozell is getting pretty good at being ignored. Shortly after Barack Obama's reelection, the president of the conservative Media Research Center signed onto a letter [1] warning congressional Republicans not to compromise with Democrats on taxes. The Republicans compromised. Then Bozell and his allies wrote a letter [2] demanding that Karl Rove's American Crossroads fire a spokesman after he referred to Bozell as a "hater." No one lost their job. And all throughout 2012, Bozell's group erected billboards [3] warning America: "DON'T BELIEVE THE LIBERAL MEDIA!" Yet according to Bozell's latest book, America spent most of 2012 believing the liberal media.
Collusion: How the Media Stole the 2012 Election -- and How to Stop Them from Doing It in 2016 is Bozell's (and co-author Tim Graham's) post-mortem of how the "liberal media" exerted its considerable influence to steal the 2012 election for the president. "Stole the 2012 Election" implies that the press behaved illicitly and in a way that contravenes the values this country holds dear, but that turns out not to be the case. "It's a free country -- at least for now, mostly -- and the national news media have the freedom to present Obama as the finest naked emperor that's ever lived," Bozell observes. "We must also salute that freedom, and defend it always." "Stole" would also seem to imply that Mitt Romney was a capable candidate who was wrongly denied the presidency, but Bozell apparently doesn't believe that either. "It was a testimony to the singular ineptness of their effort," Bozell writes of Team Romney, "that for the first time a presidential campaign chose to go into a prevent-defense crouch -- while losing."
So what happened? According to Bozell, it is "reasonable to conclude" that the media "provided four points for Obama -- his margin of victory." How he arrived at this conclusion is anyone's guess (he just sort of throws it out there after conducting a polling analysis "that, admittedly, is not entirely scientific"), but it's helpful to look at Collusion to get a sense of just how rattled and disjointed movement conservatism is in the second half of the Obama era.
"Barack Obama was a disaster," Bozell writes. "And he won reelection, handily." The tension between these two statements animates Bozell's analysis. That Obama's first term was a "disaster" is presented as a given: self-evident to anyone who was paying attention. The only plausible way to resolve that tension, per Bozell, is to point the finger once again at the media, which collectively decided to carry Obama into a second term and tear down any Republican who stood in his way.
Thus, the many embarrassing revelations about the would-be 2012 Republican candidates -- Rick Perry's unfortunately named ranch, Herman Cain's sexual harassment allegations, Newt Gingrich's issues with his ex-wives -- are all chalked up to the "media elite" wanting to portray "the emerging Republican challengers as a field of nightmares, a group of pretenders and has-beens who could not be seriously hoping to defeat Obama." Bozell never seems to consider the possibility that those stories might have been the product of opposition research conducted by other Republican campaigns or outside groups. Cain himself blamed Perry's campaign [4] for the emergence of the harassment stories.
As for the press coverage of Romney and Obama, Bozell's analysis is often inaccurate, self-contradictory, or just plain bonkers. Writing about the Washington Post story on Mitt Romney's high school days and its revelation that a young Romney forcibly cut off a classmate's hair in 1965, Bozell sneers: "Nineteen sixty-five. That's almost a half century ago. Even if every detail in this hit piece was accurate -- and they weren't -- how is it relevant?" A few pages later, Bozell faults the Post for not thoroughly investigating Obama's high school drug use in the '70s: "Did the Post send a reporter to find out from Obama's classmates how often he used illegal drugs, and where he purchased them? And did he in turn distribute them?" The cut-off for "relevance" is the disco era, it would appear. (Also, Obama's teenage drug use was extensively investigated [5] by David Maraniss, who works for... the Washington Post.)
Working himself up to high-dudgeon over Newsweek's reporting on Rick Santorum's wife's prior relationships, Bozell scoffs: "Can you imagine Newsweek plotting a hard-hitting investigation of who Michelle Obama dated before Barack? Or who Barack dated before Michelle?" Later in the book, Bozell offers tempered praise for David Maraniss' Obama biography and its in-depth reportage of who Barack Obama dated before Michelle. "Obama didn't just dump his old girlfriends," Bozell writes. "He then added insult to injury by blurring them into a fictional composite [for Obama's memoir]." So sure, it wasn't Newsweek, but you get the point.
In the end, Bozell's argument boils down to nothing. Republicans and conservatives took a pounding in 2012 -- a pounding made all the more brutal by the fact that they refused to see the warning signs ahead of time -- and the party and the movement are still trying to sort out what went wrong. Bozell's explanation for why this happened has nothing to do with the party's appeal or the health of the conservative movement. Instead, he chalks it all up to one exogenous factor: the media. This, in turn, leads him to some hilariously inept prescriptions for what conservatives can do to bounce back. "Conservatives should understand there are outlets that aren't biased against them and generate major audiences, even larger ones than most liberal entities," Bozell writes in his conclusion. "Through conservative talk radio they can reach tens of millions -- daily." Really? Conservatives should realize the power of talk radio? That's some sharp analysis... for 1987.
Collusion is a plea for conservatives to actively eschew any sort of meaningful examination of their place in American politics. It's an invitation to set aside the hard work of revamping the Republican Party's fortunes and continue wailing ineffectively about perceived persecution at the hands of the media. They can choose whether or not to follow Bozell's advice, but one gets the impression they'd be better served by ignoring him.

Bell Atlantic and Federal Employees Receive VP Gore's Hammer Awardfor Making Government Blue Pages of Phone Books More User-Friendly
May 28, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231
Actor James Earl Jones Participates in Ceremony
WASHINGTON, DC - A team of Bell Atlantic and Baltimore federal employees received Vice President Al Gore's Hammer Award today for helping make government work better. The team was honored for their work on redesigning government listings in the blue pages of local telephone directories.
David J. Barram, Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), presented the award on behalf of Vice President Gore and the National Performance Review (NPR) in a ceremony at the GSA Auditorium. The award is a $6.00 hammer in a frame, representing efficiency in government. James Earl Jones, actor and Bell Atlantic spokesperson, presented directory covers of the redesigned Blue Pages for Baltimore and Washington, DC, which were autographed by Gore and Jones. The team recipients were 23 employees of Bell Atlantic and two federal employees each from the Baltimore Federal Executive Board and the U.S. Veterans Administration.
"The Blue Pages have become user friendly," said Vice President Gore in a letter to the team. "The Blue Pages are easier to use because they are based on common sense not government bureaucracy. This is good news for the million of Americans each year who need information about their federal government, and a good example of how the public and private sectors can work together to make positive changes."
The Blue Pages Project is sponsored by the Vice President's National Performance Review and coordinated by GSA. The project is a collaborative effort of Bell Atlantic, other telephone directory publishers, and 24 Federal agencies to make it easier to find Federal services in over 6,200 telephone directories nationwide.
Gore has referred to telephone directory blue pages as "the low-tech puzzle that must be solved before reaching the high-tech government." Since government telephone numbers have traditionally been listed by organization¿not by service, as in the Yellow Pages¿Federal services have not been very accessible. For example, the U.S. Passport Agency, which used to be listed only under "s" for "State Department," is listed in the new blue pages under "p", for "passport."
Surveys show that half the users of the original Blue Pages give up before they get the information they need because they cannot locate the number for a particular office. "The Blue Pages are used 81 million times a year," Barram said. "They are often the first contact someone has with the government. Simplifying Blue Pages provides a great service to taxpayers."
Bell Atlantic is the leading provider of local telecommunications services in the Mid-Atlantic. It is collaborating with GSA on redesigning the blue pages of all of its 415 telephone directories. The design improvements were introduced into the Baltimore directory last year and are in the recently distributed Washington, DC, directories. The new design will be included in the 1997 directories for Richmond, VA, East Montgomery, PA, Jersey City, NJ, and Montgomery and Prince George's counties of Maryland Suburban.
Accepting the Hammer Award for Bell Atlantic were Barbara Connor, president of Bell Atlantic Federal Systems, and Patrick Cantwell, vice president, marketing and strategic planning, Bell Atlantic Directory Services.
"Consumers using the new blue pages are benefiting from the partnership between government agencies and directory publishers such as Bell Atlantic," said Connor. "We will continue to work together to produce enhanced and simplified government listings and information in all of Bell Atlantic's directories," Cantwell added.
Richard H. Howell, executive director Baltimore Federal Executive Board, accepted the Hammer Award for the FEB and Baltimore-based U.S. Veterans Administration Medical Health Care System.
The Hammer Award is given to participants in a team effort that contributes dramatically to improving the way government works. It recognizes special achievements in the four main themes of reinventing government: improving customer service, cutting red tape, empowering employees, or getting back to basics.
More than 800 Hammer Awards have been awarded since the program began in 1994, many to public/private teams. GSA employees have participated on nearly 30 Hammer-winning teams.
The award was designed to be a reminder of the government's past practices that, among other things, led it to pay $400 for a hammer. The award consists of a $6.00 hammer, a ribbon and a note from the Vice President, all in an aluminum frame. Individual team members receive certificates and hammer-shaped lapel pins.
Hammer Awards were presented to other members of the governmentwide Blue Pages Project last November.

Solid Hultzen earns second pro win
Jackson lefty has allowed five hits over his last 17 2/3 innings
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | April 24, 2012 12:01 PM ET
After a rough debut on April 8, MLB.com's No. 16 prospect has allowed just two unearned runs on five hits over 17 2/3 innings. On Tuesday Hultzen limited the Stars -- the top-hitting team in the Double-A Southern League -- to a pair of singles and three walks while fanning five in 5 2/3 scoreless frames. The second overall selection in the 2011 Draft has held opposing hitters to a .122 average.
Following a one-two-three first inning, Hultzen issued a leadoff walk to Stars designated hitter Khris Davis in the second. First baseman Hunter Morris grounded a single to right field, giving Huntsville two men on with no one out.
An attempt by the Stars to play small ball backfired as Anderson De La Rosa popped out to the catcher while trying to bunt the runners over. Juan Sanchez and Lee Haydel both popped out to Jackson shortstop Nick Franklin to end the threat. Huntsville would not have another runner reach second base until the seventh inning.
Jackson scored twice in the third on a single by Francisco Martinez and doubles from Franklin and first baseman Rich Poythress. Poythress' run-scoring two-bagger gave him a team-leading 13 RBIs in 19 games.
Hultzen walked Davis again in the fourth and allowed a two-out single to Matt Cline in the fifth before issuing a leadoff walk to Domnit Bolivar in the sixth. After fanning reigning Southern League Player of the Week Scooter Gennett, the 22-year-old University of Virginia product got Davis to fly out before giving way to reliever Moises Hernandez.
Hultzen improved to 2-2 with the win and threw 97 pitches -- 57 for strikes.
The Generals tacked on runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh before Huntsville got on the board with a bases-loaded walk in the ninth.
Martinez and Franklin, the top two hitters in the Jackson batting order, led the Generals' attack. Martinez went 3-for-3 with three walks, an RBI and three runs scored while Franklin -- the No. 61 prospect -- doubled twice, singled and drove in three runs. Left fielder Chris Pettit was 3-for-4 with one of Jackson's season-high six doubles.
Huntsville's Josh Stinson, who made 14 relief appearances with the Mets last season, fell to 3-1 in his first start of the 2012 campaign. He allowed three runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out three in 4 2/3 innings.
Jackson won three of the five games in the series to open up a three-game lead over the Stars in the Southern League's North Division. The Generals head home for a five-game set against Tennessee starting Wednesday.

Body of Boy Found in Air Force Jet's Wheel Well
(NEWSER) – No stowaway miracles this time: The body of an adolescent black male was found hidden in the wheel well of a C-130 US Air Force jet that landed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, reports Stars and Stripes. It's not clear who the boy is or where he snuck onto the plane, but one US official says the best guess is that he got on in either Mali or Chad, reports NBC News. Wherever it was, the youth evaded a routine pre-flight check but was discovered in a more thorough safety check that occurred at the end of the plane's eight-day mission.

Recycled Percussion Plays The Quad Resort & Casino in New Residency, Beginning Today
Recycled Percussion will continue to rock the Las Vegas Strip as it makes its debut at The Quad Resort & Casino, tonight, Jan. 26. The show will perform nightly at 7 p.m. (dark Fridays) as part of its new residency at The Showroom at The Quad.
"We couldn't be happier to kick-off 2013 in our new home at The Quad. The central location on The Strip is perfect for our all-ages show," said band leader Justin Spencer. "We've added in a lot of new creative elements to expand our appeal and allow us to connect with our audiences on a deeper and even more interactive level. We're really excited."
Produced by one of Las Vegas' most highly-regarded producers, David Saxe, the new Recycled Percussion show promises to be the most impressive yet. The show has been rocking the Las Vegas Strip for over two years with an unprecedented combination of Extreme percussion, engaging humor and extraordinary athleticism. Whether playing on buckets, ladders, grinders or sinks, Recycled Percussion's boundless energy and creativity are sure to blow audiences away.
"Recycled Percussion is exactly what the future of Vegas entertainment is all about. It's exhilarating to work with guys who are crazy enough to try every hysterical idea I throw at them. They are so cleaver and talented," said producer David Saxe.
In what can only be described as the most interactive show in Las Vegas, upon entrance to the show guests are equipped with a drumstick and instrument, encouraging them to play along to the junk rock fun.
"As we continue to update the offerings at the recently re-named Quad Resort & Casino, it's only fitting that we bring to our Showroom a production like Recycled Percussion," said Rick Mazer, president of the center Strip property. "Like The Quad, Recycled Percussion embodies The Feeling of fun and connectivity, and I know that our guests will enjoy the interactive nature of one of the most exciting shows on the Las Vegas Strip."
Formed in 1994 in New Hampshire at a high school talent show, Recycled Percussion's first performance gave birth to the style of music now known as junk rock. Justin Spencer, who has been named the world's "fastest Extreme drummer," along with fellow drummer Ryan Vezina, guitarist Matt Bowman and DJ Todd Griffin have averaged more than 250 shows a year since. The band was introduced in living rooms across the country on the hit TV show "America's Got Talent" on NBC. The group placed third out of more than 100,000 acts and became the first non-singing act to place in the top three in show history. The group has appeared on the cover of USA TODAY, has performed on numerous television shows including the "Today Show," and recently played their biggest show ever by performing on "China's Got Talent." The audience at the outdoor stadium was over 80,000 and the home viewership reached more than 610 million viewers. The band has also performed at the 2010 Latin Grammys, World MMA Awards, NBA and NFL halftime shows, convention general session openers, corporate events, college performances and more.

K.J. Brady has been a big part of Cascade's success this season
There have been some ups and downs for junior K.J. Brady during his three seasons on the Cascade baseball team.
Fortunately for the Bruins, the outfielder/pitcher currently is on an upswing.
After Cascade went 3-17 in his freshman year, the Bruins made the playoffs last season where they went 0-2. Now, Cascade hopes to make another leap forward and do some damage in its second shot at the district tournament.
"I have quite a few juniors, including K.J., that have been with me in some good times and bad," Cascade head coach Scott Stencil said. "Now we're on a good run."
That run helped the Bruins finish the year 14-6 and in second place in the Wesco 4A South. Cascade plays host to Monroe on Saturday in the first round of the district tournament.
Cascade is hoping to build on last season's turnaround and make some noise in this year's incredibly competitive 4A tournament.
"I think it's been a good year for us," Brady said. "We've had a lot of success and we've won a lot of games. Following last year when we went 13-7 (in the regular season), we were just looking to come back strong. This year I think what's really special is that our team just has that special bond as a team, and you just can't beat that. We've had a lot of success on the field and we hope to keep it going at districts."
Brady has been a big part of Cascade's success this year. The Bruins leadoff hitter is batting .380, with a .515 on-base percentage, 26 runs scored, 12 RBI, four doubles, four triples and seven stolen bases.
"He starts us off," Stencil said. "The biggest thing is he gets on base no matter what."
Once Brady's on base, he can usually rely on his teammates to get him across the plate. According to Brady, the Bruins have been able to win close ballgames because someone on the team steps up at the right time.
For a video of Aaron Lommers and David Krueger interviewing Brady and Lande, click here.
"It's people coming up clutch every day. And it's someone new," Brady said. "We get that clutch AB (at-bat) or a good pitching performance. Like last week we were kind of struggling with pitching and (sophomore Matthew) Butler comes out and throws a shutout against Kamiak. Everyone's just playing their part and we're just getting the wins."
Looking ahead, Brady already has made plans for beyond Cascade High School. The junior has verbally committed to play baseball at the University of Washington, picking the Huskies over Gonzaga and Santa Clara.
"I couldn't pass up that offer," said Brady, who frequently attends baseball, football and basketball games at UW.
Brady, who wants to study communications, was signed primarily as an outfielder, but may also be called upon to pitch for the Huskies. He is 3-3 on the mound for Cascade this season and could find himself on the mound for the Bruins in the postseason.
The Bruin co-captain can't wait for that opportunity.
"It's fun. This is why you play. You play for the pressure moments," Brady said. "You come through sometimes, sometimes you don't. Yeah, we're disappointed we lost (the conference title), but we also know that we're already hosting a district game. We're just looking to take it day by day and see how far we can get. We think this year is our year, so we're just seeing if we can make some damage in the playoffs and see how far we can get."
Snohomish SS Haakon Lande has put the entire package together
There are many reasons the Snohomish Panthers are one of the favorites entering the Class 4A District 1 baseball tournament. Near the top of that list is junior shortstop Haakon Lande.
Lande helped the Panthers to a 15-4 regular-season record and the Wesco 4A North championship. They play host to Jackson at 2 p.m. Saturday in the first round of districts.
Snohomish head coach Kim Hammons said he is most impressed with how much Lande has improved since his freshman season.
"He started as a role player on the varsity as a freshman," Hammons said. "He was nervous about being out there, as most freshmen would be, and as the year progressed Haakon became a significant contributor in helping us win a Wesco North title."
Lande's contributions have increased over the past two seasons.
"Last year, as a sophomore, you saw him start to develop as an all-around good player," Hammons said. "A good hitter, hitting with a little bit of power, running the bases and making the plays defensively. This year he has put the entire package together and he has been invaluable sitting in the middle of our lineup."
Lande has worked hard each offseason to improve his skills and become one of the key pieces in the Panthers' offense. His play has earned him a scholarship offer from Washington State University, which he has verbally accepted. He can't officially sign with the Cougars until next fall.
Defensively, Lande always has had the skills, but his improvement at the plate has been startling, especially this season.
"The first few years I was kind of struggling on offense, just kind of getting used to high school baseball," Lande said. "This year, I've just relaxed and am hitting the (pitches) I want to hit."
It has paid off statistically. Going into Tuesday's game against Arlington, Lande was batting .345 (19-for-55). His 19 RBI led the Panthers. He also had two home runs, three doubles, 14 runs scored and was 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts.
One of the biggest challenges to Snohomish in the district tournament is likely to be Cascade, which is led by junior pitcher/outfielder K.J. Brady. Brady has committed to the University of Washington, which could make for some Pac-12 battles in the future between the two standouts.
Aside from the Bruins, the Wesco South champion Edmonds-Woodway Warriors come into the tournament as one of the favorites, but Lande said the Panthers focus right now is on Jackson.
"Over the past few years we have kind of struggled with Jackson," he said. "I'm hoping we get past them."
Hammons has nothing but praise for his shortstop, but said the credit for the Panthers' success goes to everyone.
"It's been a very impressive year and Haakon has been one of the keys, but we do have a lot of good players on this team," Hammons said. "You just don't have a good year without having a combination of good defense, good hitters, good pitching, good catching and that's exactly what's happened.
"We have a full team of very good players."

1994 GMC Sonoma Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 GMC Sonoma based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
A fluid leak may develop from the transmission output shaft seal. This leak may cause the transmission mount to become oil soaked and require replacement of the mount along with the leak repair.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.
An engine oil leak may develop from the distributor shaft o-ring seal.
On vehicles with intermittent windshield wipers, the wiper motor circuit board may fail and cause the wipers to stop working at times. Replacing the circuit board should resolve the issue. Some vehicles were recalled for this problem and some were not. You will need to check with your local dealer to find out if a specific vehicle was included.
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition and the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. The distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.
4.3L V6 multi-port FI only
The exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) may stick open causing a rough idle and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us that a piece of carbon may become stuck in the valve causing this problem. Cleaning the valve will usually correct this condition, in some rare cases the valve will need to be replaced.
The electrical contacts in the ignition switch may fail and result in erratic instrument panel gauge operation or illumination of the Check Engine Light. A failed ignition switch will require replacement.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
Vehicles using the enhanced vortec V6 engine may be hard to start run poorly and/or use to much fuel due to a fuel leak inside the intake manifold plenum. Commonly this is caused by a leaking fuel pressure regulator or fuel line. The fuel system will need to be pressurized with the upper intake manifold removed in order to determine the exact cause of the leak. Removing the "tuning valve" from the upper intake can allow for limited visual inspection without removing the upper intake manifold.
The alternator may fail, causing a "no charge" condition. An internal bearing may also fail and cause an abnormal noise. If the vehicle is driven too long with a failed bearing, the alternator may stop turning, which can cause the serpentine belt to break or the engine to stall and not turn over.

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea is warning that it is prepared to conduct a nuclear test and carry out more long-range rocket launches.
In a statement carried today by state media, the National Defense Commission in Pyongyang threatened to wage a "full-fledged confrontation" against the U.S. for what it calls continued hostility.
The declaration follows the U.N. Security Council's condemnation of North Korea on Tuesday and expanded sanctions against the regime for launching a rocket in December. North Korea said the launch was a peaceful satellite mission, but the U.S. and others say it was actually a test of long-range missile technology.
North Korea's nuclear agitations follow a well-worn route. It starts with a long-range rocket launch. The United Nations punishes the act with sanctions. And Pyongyang responds by conducting a nuclear test.
It happened in 2006, and again in 2009. With the U.N. leveling new sanctions, the world is about to find out whether North Korea's young new leader will detonate an atomic bomb.

This is pretty cool, thank you
Most of you won't find much use for yawt (Yet Another WPA Tutor), the WPA capture and crack bash script I've written, but some new to BT4 and WPA cracking might find it marginally helpful.
The script is too large to paste here, but you can download yawt here.
For users new to linux: if you want to try yawt, download it and run:
chmod 755 yawt.sh
To run yawt, at the command prompt type:
It's my very first bash script and I'm sure it can be improved. I welcome comments and suggestions from the bash script gurus here.
You have to run the script as root and you have to install tshark (apt-get install tshark), the command line version of Wireshark.
The tut walks the user through a live WPA capture and passphrase cracking session on his system and his wifi environment. The tut shows the user the exact commands and arguments he needs to type and provides hints and guidance along the way.
The tut strips the resulting capture file to the Beacon frame and the EAPOL packets and launches Wireshark to allow the user to examine the WPA handshake in detail. If the WPA handshake capture is successful, the tut launches aircrack (showing the user a proper command) to attempt to crack the WPA passphrase.
Here are some screenshots that should give you an idea of what yawt is about:

When he was 12, Palos Verdes Peninsula High student David Steinberg sat down with his parents to watch "Wordplay," a 2006 documentary about crossword puzzles.
The very next day, charged with inspiration, he began crafting a puzzle by hand in his bedroom. David finished and sent it straight to Will Shortz, crossword editor of the New York Times and a prominent character in the movie.
Shortz rejected it but offered encouragement.
David created another puzzle and sent it to Shortz. It, too, was rejected. So were the next 14. But on the 17th try, he found success.
"I was thrilled," David remembers. "My parents were ecstatic."
It was a significant moment in not only David's life, but crossword history. In June 2011, at age 14, David became the fourth-youngest crossword creator ever to publish a puzzle in The New York Times - and the second-youngest under Shortz, who has held his position since 1993.
"It's astonishing, how much he knows," Shortz told the Daily Breeze.
Now 15, David has since published five more puzzles in The New York Times and has 16 in the pipeline. From the confines of his bedroom in the family's cramped apartment in Rancho Palos Verdes, David has also published puzzles in other publications, including the Los Angeles Times, Newsday and The Wall Street Journal, and has created his own e-book of crosswords, "Chromatics."
True to his age, David is a gangly teen with a voice that tends to crack. But even so, it's difficult not to forget when talking with him that he's 15, not 51.
Though fairly soft-spoken, his grasp of crossword-puzzle history is professorial.
With conversational ease, he expounds on the various styles of former crossword editors at The New York Times.
He'll tell you, for instance, that Eugene T. Maleska, predecessor of Shortz, was infamous for his harsh rejection letters.
"In general, he was not very well-liked," David said. "He was very literary - into literature and opera and that sort of thing."
Or that Margaret Farrar, The Times' first ever crossword editor, instituted rules that hold true today, such as the banishment of two-letter words.
"You don't ever see them now," he said.
Like many crossword creators, David gravitates toward computer science. And despite his love of words, English isn't his favorite subject.
As for his parents, to say they are committed to his education is an understatement.
Over the past decade, the family has hopped from city to city and state to state to find the right school for David. It's a luxury they can afford because David's father, Paul, a communications analyst at RAND Corp., has been able to telecommute.
They've gone from Irvine - where David attended elementary school - to Seattle, where he spent four years at the alma mater of Microsoft co-founders Paul Allen and Bill Gates. By the time David was a freshmen, he was excelling in computer science, robotics and Latin. The family decided to look for a school that was strong in all three areas.
"When you add Latin, that really limits the number of schools," said his mother, Karen Steinberg, who earned her doctorate in psychology from University of Pennsylvania. (She isn't currently practicing.)
After an exhaustive search that included schools in Washington and Oregon, they found Peninsula High, and returned to California.
In the fall of 2011, the three Steinbergs and their dog, a fluffy Keeshond named Skipper, moved into the apartment in Rancho Palos Verdes thinking it would be a temporary landing until their house in Seattle sold. It's still on the market, so they remain in the apartment.
David had published his first New York Times puzzle a few weeks before starting school at Peninsula High in fall of 2011. That summer, Principal Mitzi Cress - who keeps tabs on incoming students - came across a news story about a certain teenage crossword whiz named David Steinberg.
"I went to my registration person and said, `Do you think this could be the same kid?"'
It was.
"He's an incredibly personable young man," Cress continued. "It's always a joy to talk with him. He has so much knowledge."
For his part, Shortz - who receives 75 to 100 submissions a week - is impressed by David's breadth of knowledge and colorful use of words.
"In his last daily puzzle, one across was `Jiffy Lube,"' he said. "That's the first time that has ever been used in a puzzle."
Shortz was also struck by David's use of the word "Palinism." The clue? "Refudiate," referring to Sarah Palin's misuse of the word "repudiate" on a cable news show.
Yet another was "Maybe Baby," a 1957 Buddy Holly hit.
"How does he even know that?" Shortz marveled. "Those are just some examples. Just a lot of good vocabulary."
What's an example of bad vocabulary?
"Try to avoid stupid obscurity," Shortz said. "Like the name of a fly in Botswana. Those are things no one needs to know."
Themes are also important. Recently, David noted that the publication date of a puzzle in the Los Angeles Times would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Oreo cookie. Many of his words contained the word "Oreo," such as "choreographer." He also made clever use of black-and-white spaces to evoke the physical likeness of the sandwich cookie.
Contrary to what you might think, crossword enthusiasts aren't exactly a graying group.
Although Shortz has published the work of only one kid younger than David - Ben Pall of New Jersey, who is four months David's junior - the puzzles of 23 teenage creators have graced the Times during his tenure.
Prior to Shortz's tenure, there had only been four in the history of The New York Times, which began printing crosswords in 1942. (The Times was among the last newspapers to publish a puzzle, holding out through the '20s and '30s on the belief that it was a passing fad.)
And yet Shortz doesn't seek out young puzzlists, though the dewy ones occasionally make note of it in their submissions.
"I'm happy to work with anybody I think has talent," he said.
Also, unlike many newspapers across the nation, The New York Times crossword puzzle seems to be making a smooth transition to the electronic age: The online version boasts about 50,000 subscribers, who pay $40 a year for access.
For creators, though, the big leagues of crosswording doesn't exactly come with big pay. The New York Times offers $200 per puzzle during the week, and $1,000 on Sundays.
"You really do work for it," David said.
But he doesn't do it for the money anyway. David just loves the craft - not only of creating, but solving.
"Last year I started solving The New York Times puzzle every day," he said. "My personal best is three minutes flat."
Apparently the skill isn't inherited. David recently entered a crossword tournament, and his parents - both of whom possess doctorate degrees - decided to participate.
"We weren't particularly good," Karen said.
"I wouldn't say that," David offered. "I'd say you were better than average."
"We were awful," his mother corrected.

Smashing Pumpkins' Bill Corgan Plans Early Home Demos Release
Listen to The Smashing Pumpkins Radio on iHeartRadio
Billy Corgan plans to go way back in time for his next release. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman says he intends to put out the first part of a multi-volume collection of home demos he made between 1985 and 1990.
Corgan says there are more than 800 titles to choose from, but warns fans the quality of these so-called "works" is "all over the place." He admits that at 18-years-old, his "inadequacies as a sound engineer" and his influences "show a little too hard in places."
The collection doesn't have an exact release date at this point, and Corgan says it will probably be at least two or three months before anything comes out because of the amount of material he needs to go through.
Corgan is also prepping a pair of new Smashing Pumpkins albums. He hopes to have the first, Monuments to an Elegy, out in December.

COLTON - Leia Redmond, 25, followed her dream by earning a bachelor's degree from Cal State San Bernardino in theatre arts, with an emphasis on acting.
Now she's focused on earning a living.
In a few months, she'll be finishing an intensive 23-month training program at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center's School of Radiologic Technology.
And when she gets out, she can expect to earn between $26 and $35 an hour, said Morris Hunter, the school's program director.
The program costs about $5,000 - including books.
The School of Radiologic Technology been around since the 1960s. It became affiliated with Crafton Hills College in 1985 with an arrangement that students graduating from the program also receive an associate of science degree.
To get into the program, applicants must have taken 28 general-education units and 11.5 science units, Hunter said.
Applicants can accumulate those credits at any community college, but they must take an introductory course in radiologic technology taught by Hunter only at Crafton Hills College.
In the course, students spend time at ARMC watching patients and technicians interact. Part of the reason for this course is to weed out students who don't want to work with sick or injured people.
"We had one student faint while observing an ultrasound," he said.
This year, the program will accept eight new students. The deadline for getting an application is the end of February, and the completed form must be submitted by April 1, Hunter said.
Students must present a 2.5 grade-point average or better, he said.
"Don't fail to apply if you only have B's. Some may excel in the classroom and may not do well clinical," Hunter said.
"We are looking for students who are motivated, who will work well with other students and work well with patients," Hunter said.
"They should be compassionate and want to help people," he said.
There are other radiologic technology programs in the area, but the program at ARMC is the only one based out of a hospital.
"Students start working with patients from day one," Hunter said.
Because ARMC is a trauma center and has the region's only burn unit, students see more varieties of injuries and illnesses in a week than they would in several months working somewhere else, Hunter said.
"We see it all. People with gunshot wounds, in car accidents, with burns," said student Lucinda Moreno, 37.
"We get a lot of hands-on experience and a lot of exposure to different situations," she said.
Students go through a rotation with a mobile X-ray unit where they learn how to handle patients with severe burns and other injuries, Hunter said.
Many radiologic technicians end up in specialized fields.
Kevin Kotlar, 46, chose to specialize in interventional radiology, where he assists radiologists in such procedures as repairing a weakness in an artery.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the killings of four people in Northridge, police said today.
The suspects were identified as two men, ages 30 and 31, and two women, ages 30 and 31. Police said they were Ka Pasasouk, 31, of Los Angeles, arrested on suspicion of murder; Howard Alcantara, 30, of Glendale, robbery and accessory after fact to murder; Donna Rabulan, 30, of Los Angeles, accessory after the fact; and Christina Neal, 30, of Los Angeles, accessory after the fact. They were arrested overnight at the Silverton hotel in Las Vegas by LAPD detectives working with police in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nev., and the FBI.
"I'm extremely happy to report to you that these suspects are off the street and we've made some progress," Chief Charlie Beck said at an afternoon press conference at police headquarters downtown.
Beck declined to give additional details or take questions from the media at the press conference.

Washington • For all the attention it got, Republican Mitt Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate has not altered the race against President Barack Obama. The campaign remains neck and neck with less than three months to go, a new AP-GfK poll shows.
Overall, 47 percent of registered voters said they planned to back Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in November, while 46 percent favored Romney and Ryan. That's not much changed from a June AP-GfK survey, when the split was 47 percent for the president to 44 percent for Romney.
At the same time, there's a far wider gap when people were asked who they thought would win. Some 58 percent of adults said they expected Obama to be re-elected, while just 32 percent said they thought he'd be voted out of office. Majorities say they expect Obama to win regardless of their level of interest in the campaign.
Yet while partisans generally expect their own candidate to win, Republicans are less sure about Romney than Democrats are about Obama 83 percent of Democrats say Obama will be re-elected while 57 percent of Republicans think he'll be voted out of office.
One such Republican, 78-year-old Catherine Shappard of Dallas, said she's been alarmed to see even conservative commentators warning that Obama has a good shot at re-election.
"I think it's close," Shappard said. "A lot closer than I'd like it to be."
After just over a week on the campaign trail, Ryan has a 38 percent favorable rating among adults, while 34 percent see him unfavorably. Among registered voters, his numbers are slightly better 40 percent favorable to 34 percent unfavorable. Ryan remains unknown to about a quarter of voters.
Romney put the 42-year-old conservative chairman of the House Budget Committee on the ticket Aug. 11. The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Aug. 16-20.
Romney and Ryan will be crowned as the GOP presidential and vice presidential nominees next week at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. The Democrats hold their convention the following week in Charlotte, N.C.
The closely locked contest reflects deep partisan divisions across the country.
Among true independents, those who say they do not lean toward either party, the share of undecided voters is declining, with each candidate picking up new support at about the same pace. However, Romney maintains a small advantage with the group, with the backing of 41 percent of independents to Obama's 30 percent. Some 21 percent still say they support neither candidate.
Among all voters, 23 percent are undecided or say they have not yet committed to their candidate.
One independent voter, Frank Nugent, a 76-year-old retired sales manager from Pittsburg, Calif., said he always gives both parties a chance to win him over but not this time.
"Considering what the opposition is like, I can do nothing else but vote for Obama," he said. Part of his dislike for the GOP ticket is due to Ryan, he said, describing Romney's ticket mate as "further right that the bulk of the Republican Party." But while he'll vote for Obama, Nugent said he's disappointed in Obama's record.
Robert Hamrick, 39, from Cedartown, Ga., is going the other way. Although a registered Democrat, he plans to vote for the Romney-Ryan ticket, claiming Obama has been deceptive and failed to make good on his promises on the economy, jobs and government debt.
As for Ryan, Hamrick said: "He's very smart. He knows his stuff. He knows the finance. He can take apart Obamacare with ease." Hamrick is a former nursing home manager who left his job about four years ago in hopes of finding one with more security and has been mostly unemployed ever since.
The frail economy, with the unemployment rate hovering at 8.3 percent more than three years after the deep recession officially ended, remains the No. 1 issue. Nine in 10 call it important for them and half of voters say it is "extremely important," outpacing all other issues tested by at least 10 percentage points. Two-thirds in the poll described the economy as poor.
Registered voters split about evenly between the two candidates on whom they'd trust more to handle the economy, with 48 percent favoring Romney and 44 percent Obama. They are also about evenly divided on who would do more to create jobs, 47 percent for Romney to 43 percent for Obama. Among independent voters, Romney has a big lead over the president on handling the economy 46 percent to 27 percent.
Romney often appeals to his business background as proof that he could better manage the federal government, and the poll finds that overall, voters are more apt to trust him to handle the federal budget deficit over Obama, by a 50 percent to 40 percent margin.
But it's unlikely that Ryan's background in authoring Republican budgets will boost them as an issue in the campaign. The share of adults saying the budget deficit was deeply important to them dropped from 75 percent in February to 69 percent in the new poll.
Among those who rate the economy as the top concern is Mattise Fraser, a 52-year-old Democrat whose hometown of Charlotte is gearing up for the Democratic gathering. "We're in a crisis situation now," said Fraser, who said she plans to vote for Obama. She says she's a homemaker but not by choice. "The economy is crazy. There's no jobs."
Obama holds a clear edge among voters on handling social issues such as abortion, 52 percent to 35 percent, and a narrow one on handling Medicare, 48 percent to 42 percent. Medicare has grabbed a lot of attention as an issue lately, with Ryan's proposals to partly change the program drawing criticism from Obama and other Democrats.
Of those who said Medicare is an extremely important issue, 49 percent say they plan to vote for Obama and 44 percent for Romney.
Obama's approval rating held steady at about an even split, with 49 percent saying they approve of the way he's handling his job and another 49 percent saying they disapprove.
The president remains more positively viewed than Romney, and continues to be seen as more empathetic. Some 53 percent of adults hold a "favorable" opinion of the president, compared with just 44 percent who view Romney favorably. Obama also held a commanding lead among voters as the candidate who better "understands the problems of people like you," 51 percent to 36 percent for Romney. Some 50 percent see him as a stronger leader than Romney; 41 percent see Romney as stronger.
Michelle Obama remains more popular than her husband. Sixty-four percent of adults view her favorably and just 26 percent unfavorably, although that's down from 70 percent favorable in May. Ann Romney's favorable rating is mostly unchanged since May, with 40 percent viewing her favorably, 27 percent unfavorably and nearly a third declining to say.
Thirty-five percent overall say things in the nation are heading in the "right direction," up from 31 percent in June.
Melinda Cody, a 45-year-old undecided voter in San Diego, sees positives and negatives with both candidates and says she'll vote for the candidate who does the least bullying. "When they just run a negative campaign, it backfires," she said.
The poll involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,006 adults nationwide, including 885 registered voters. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9, while it's 4.1 points for registered voters.
Ryan: No more plans to push Akin from race
Republican vice presidential contender Paul Ryan acknowledges he urged Missouri Congressman Todd Akin to abandon his Senate bid but has no further plans to speak to him about it now that Akin is staying in the race.
Ryan told reporters aboard his campaign plane Wednesday that he's proud of his anti-abortion record in the House and has no regrets about sponsoring legislation, with Akin, to permanently prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion except in cases of incest or, quote, "forcible" rape.
Leading Republicans including presidential candidate Mitt Romney have distanced themselves from Akin after the Missouri congressman suggested that women who had been subjected to "legitimate rape" would be able to physically resist becoming pregnant. Ryan would not oppose abortion in cases where a mother's life is in danger.

me too having same problem please help anybody......
Hi Guys,
Apologies for the newbie question, I am trying to get the network manager (network conenctions) applet to appear under the indicator area in BT5 GNOME, so far I have done the following:
Installed synaptic
Installed network manager
installed indicator applet complete and enabled
I can access network manager fine and setup my vpn connection but I get no icon/applet to connect with.
when i try to invoke nm-applet from commandline it states it is already in use and I can see it in the startup, I also tried updating my inidcator applets etc via the ubuntu repo's to no avail.
any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
me too having same problem please help anybody......
Why not put wicd in the notification applet ?
How would you be able to put the wicd into a notification?
if you start "wicd-gtk", an icon will appear there.(if I'm not mistaken)
I don't know about putting it into the notification/indicator applet but you can get it into your panel real nicely just by adding a sytem startup for it.
1 navigate to System>Preferences>Startup Applications
2.click add
3. give it a name( I named mine network manager )
4. for the command, type wicd-gtk
5. click add
6. reboot and it should be up in your panel
wicd is not as mature as nm.
As I posted in another thread:
NetworkManager HowTo:
# apt-get -y install network-manager-gnome
# cp /etc/network/interfaces{,.stock}
# echo "auto lo" > /etc/network/interfaces
# echo "iface lo inet loopback" >> /etc/network/interfaces
# service network-manager start
# nm-applet &
Network manager should now be working and the applet should be active in gnome-panel
The key is removing the auto-manage interface references from (which can be commented out instead) from the file:
(be sure to leave the loopback interface auto-managed)auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
which allows nm to take over for the other interfaces.
and of course the service daemon must be running for the applet to function.

Haiti Relief Concert
Six Columbia-area bands will perform at a Haiti Relief Concert Friday, Feb. 5, at the University of South Carolina's Carolina Coliseum.
The concert, a collaboration between colleges in the Midlands, the City of Columbia and local artists, will feature rock and hip hop music by Justin Smith and the Folk Hop Band, Li'l Brod, Modern Disruption, singer/songwriter Haley Dreis, Snook Da Rokk Star and Fat Rat Da Czar and Shekeese Da Beast. Hot 103.9 disc jockey Prince Ice will emcee.
Doors open at 4 p.m., and the concert runs from 5 – 10 p.m.
Tickets are general admission and cost $5, with proceeds benefitting the American Red Cross Haiti relief efforts. Tickets will go on sale Feb. 1, and will be available for purchase at the Carolina Coliseum box office, via phone at 803-251-2222, at all Capitol Tickets outlets and on the Web site: www.coliseum.sc.ed. Carolina students also will have the option of purchasing tickets with their Carolina Card, and all ticket buyers will have the opportunity to donate more than the $5 price.
"The Columbia music community came forward very quickly after the earthquake in Haiti and offered their talent to raise money," said Jerry Brewer, associate vice president for student affairs. "The college community in the midlands is promoting the concert as a fundraiser to assist the American Red Cross in their work to help the Haitian people.
"I hope everyone can buy a ticket for the event, even if you can only attend for a few minutes, to support the fundraising efforts of the music community and the college community. The show is going to be great and helping the people of Haiti is the very worthwhile mission!"
An on-campus shuttle service will be available to Carolina students beginning at 4 p.m. until the concert's conclusion. Route information will be available on the university's Web site www.sc.edu.
Student organizations from the participating colleges (USC, Allen University, Benedict College, Columbia College and Newberry College) will host mini-fundraisers on the concourse of the coliseum during the concert; proceeds also will benefit the American Red Cross Haiti relief efforts.
For more information about the Haiti Relief Concert call 803-251-2222. Also visit the University of South Carolina Web site www.sc.edu for more details on the university's Haiti relief efforts.

About the Book
There's nowhere left to hide.
Ithought vampires were our enemies—they controlled our lives, isolated our cities, and demanded our blood—until I met Victor. With Victor taking over as the new Lord Valentine, things were supposed to get better. Instead, they're worse than ever.
Day Walkers, a new breed of vampires who can walk in the sun, are terrorizing the city. Blood supplies are low, and if Victor's vampires don't get enough, they will become infected with the Thirst—a disease that will turn them into mindless killers.
To stop it, I must journey across the desolate wasteland to the very place where the sickness began. I can only hope that the answers that await me are enough to save us all . . . before it's too late.

Lose Interest with my Husband during my pregnancy
I'm 7 months pregnant and i think im losing my interest with my husband. I easily get angry when he touches or kisses me.I always found fault about him. Is this part or because of the pregnancy?
22nd October 2013 07:37 AM #2
What you have described is something that some women do feel in pregnancy. As your body is changing, at times uncomfortably so, you can become more easily annoyed with those close to you. Some women do not feel like having sex during pregnancy, others find it more enjoyable than ever. All that matters is that you do what feels best for you. I note from your previous post that your iron levels are currently low; this can make you feel tired and could well be contributing to how you feel. Be nice to yourself; try to eat a healthy, balanced diet and have time to relax each day. Then do what feels right for you on that day.
I know you also have two young children; it can be hard to fully relax in the evening when our children are sleeping or they may still need us to settle them. Are you able to put aside one evening a week as a 'date night' with your husband where you can spend quality time with each other?
Best wishes,

I see so low iron can actually affect my mood. And i think during this pregnancy I rarely or its only sometimes when i had a quality time with my husband and now that I am nearing to giving birth I get more easily irritated with my husband but im trying to tone down my temper. Its kind of making me realize how bad im treating my husband well i guess i'll invite him on a date. Thanks LJ you made me feel great.
23rd October 2013 06:06 AM #4
I'm so pleased that my reply helped.
I think you should put yourself and your baby first, and I'm sure your husband would agree It is ok to not want to be physical at this time; just spend time talking and relaxing together and then see what happens. Don't put pressure on yourself.
Warm wishes,

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles may have relocated to shiny new digs in the same neighborhood south of downtown Phoenix in 2012, but we can assure you that the much bigger, more contemporary space hasn't had any effect on the restaurant's soul-filled food. It's really no surprise that this restaurant serves such knockout Southern specialties when you consider that owner Larry "Lo-Lo" White is the grandson of Phoenix food legend Elizabeth White of downtown Phoenix's Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe.
Larry's restaurant may not be as authentic to the Deep South experience, but that doesn't make the food any less authentic. You can still find any combination of fried chicken and waffles you can dream up, as well as biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits, fried catfish, and more. You'll definitely want to wash it down with a jar of Lo-Lo's famous Red Kool-Aid Drank.
We had some doubts about the young chef who told us he "just wanted to have fun," and yet every time we eat a meal at The Local, Chris McKinley proves he truly knows his way around the kitchen. The chef's unique style of modern American cuisine pulls influences from around the world. He's won us over with his Pig Ear Pad Thai — an offal-y dish that blends toasted peanuts, bean sprouts, pickled Fresno chiles, and XO sauce to make a crunchy starter that's big on flavor — as well as with excellent handmade pastas, grilled vegetables, and sweet desserts.
The concise menu seems to offer something for everyone, but if it doesn't, there's always the chalkboard of daily specials, which have ranged from a killer bowl of ramen to fried green tomatoes and a lobster roll. The hot new dining spot also benefits from the talents of co-owner/general manager/barman Adam Hargett, who mixes top-notch cocktails using housemade, barrel-aged, and local ingredients.
Phoenix may not set every trend, but thanks to chef Josh Hebert, we have at least one restaurant that's undeniably innovative. At Hebert's sleek Scottsdale dining spot, you can belly up to the chef's counter and have an experience unlike any other. The restaurant offers no set selections. Instead, Hebert and his staff craft tasting menus for diners based on dietary restrictions and personal preferences. It seems like a risky proposition — that is, until you've had your first taste of Hebert's cuisine. The chef navigates the fine line between using impeccable technique to craft sophisticated food and knowing full well when to let his top-quality ingredients speak for themselves. The best way to understand it for yourself is to take a seat at the counter and let him regale you with stories and facts about his craft. It's impossible to not walk away impressed.
Once a week (every Wednesday, to be exact), T. Cook's chef Paul McCabe takes a small number of fortunate diners on an unforgettable culinary journey. The multi-course dinner experience — named #PM31 after the chef and the number of the restaurant's communal chef's table, at which the dinner is likely to take place — features an improvisational menu crafted that day based on available ingredients. It's the best way to get a good sense of McCabe's style of cuisine: thoughtful, well-balanced, and quite exciting. The menu changes from week to week, but you can expect a seemingly endless lineup of picture-perfect dishes artfully plated and featuring top-quality meats, locally sourced produce, and housemade accoutrements. During our dinner, McCabe wowed with a sous vide Spanish octopus with black-eyed peas, a playful take on classic barbecue flavors.
Long before Mexican fusion food was trendy, Michael J. Brown dreamed up the Jamburrito. It's a simple but ingenious creation that offers New Orleans flavor in a novel and easy-to-eat form. The classic chicken Jamburrito features Cajun chicken etouffee, jambalaya rice, smoked Andouille sausage, cheese, and lettuce wrapped in a sturdy tortilla. And though wrapping a favorite Southern dish in a tortilla might not seem like the most innovative idea, it's enough of an alteration to turn an otherwise unwieldy dish into excellent street fare. Since starting the Jamburritos food truck in 2010, Brown has turned his signature dish into a favorite of Phoenix food truck enthusiasts, who can choose from a slew of varieties, including steak, vegetarian, and catfish Cajun burritos. Best of all, Brown has no plans to slowing. These days, he's busy getting a second truck up and running and launching a Jamburritos catering business.
On the national stage, there's really only one chef from Arizona who consistently makes a splash, and that's Kevin Binkley, a three-time James Beard Award semifinalist. Ask just about any foodie in the Valley and they'll tell you that Binkley's flagship restaurant in Cave Creek is the best restaurant in the state, on par with some of the most awarded restaurants in the whole country.
We're still trying to wrap our heads around the reason Binkley hasn't taken home the Beard Foundation's Best Chef Southwest award, but in the meantime, we know that flooding the dining room with food lovers certainly can't hurt. Go and see for yourself how Binkley transforms local and seasonal ingredients into impeccable plates of modern American cuisine.

Oceans' Tipping Points Sooner Than Expected
Oceans' Tipping Points Sooner Than Expected
Scientists at Australia's University of New South Wales and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization have recently discovered that a catastrophic "tipping point" may soon be reached causing severe ocean acidification to occur.
Rising carbon dioxide levels quickly increase the volume of dead zones in oceans.
Global atmospheric levels of CO2 are currently estimated at 385 parts per million (ppm).
Researchers state that we are quickly approaching the 450 ppm level of CO2 that would drastically affect oceanic organisms.
A loss in oceanic organisms would render the oceans unable to effectively absorb carbon.
This would in turn lead to an exponential increase in global warming.

Near the rue Monge there is a small café and restaurant, a place celebrated for its onion soup and its chicken.
If only the police knew all that goes on in the house in the rue Monge!
The most important method is that which was invented by Monge towards the end of the 18th century.
Monge, Berthollet, Volney, and the like were found on its benches.
However, I might get at him through Monge, and other people.
Monge, the great mathematician, had been his master at the military school in Paris, and was now minister of the navy.
Certain assertions made by Bonaparte to Monge have been quoted to prove that he was an orthodox believer.
The surgeon of the Geographe, Monge, fell by an attack of the natives, and was buried on the spot which bears his name.
The circular letter of Monge and the speech of Kersaint furnished the weather-gauge for the future.
Hailing the first-comer, she jumped in and called out to the fat cabby, "Place Monge."

Nice. I copped my wife the Sade tee a while back and now she resorts to wearing smalls. 2010 is your year Nick. Definitely liking the grown man aspect of the cut sew. Your brands gone a long way since 98'. Big ups.
Thanks, much appreciated. I am into subtle clean refined gear for cut n sew right now, but its always nice to have a tee or sneakers to set it off. I wanted to make the cut n sew more grown because it compliments our tee shirts well since they can be a lil loud sometimes.
