Topeka A noted fossil hunter is looking for someone to buy and display the remains of a 17-foot-long prehistoric fish that he unearthed — likely 88 million years after it died — in western Kansas.
Alan Detrich found the Xiphactinus protruding from a hillside between Scott City and Oakley in 2007. He calls it the Kansas King Fish and has spent the past two years assembling the fossil, which includes the fossil of a large fish it had recently eaten.
Researchers refer to the Xiphactinus as a sea monster because of its size and how it would use its wide jaws to swallow six-foot-long fish whole.
"It was a bully," Detrich said, referring to the fierceness of the Xiphactinus. "It killed anything that moved when it was hungry."
He says the fossil also included soft tissue, which he plans to send to a University of Kansas graduate student for additional study. The tissue will help researchers learn details including the age of the fish and the composition of the Cretaceous sea the fish lived in.
Detrich has been associated with the University of Kansas as a fossil hunter since 1986, and is noted for unearthing a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton in South Dakota in 1991.
Detrich said the Xiphactinus is probably the largest Cretaceous Period fish specimen ever assembled. The Xiphactinus has only been found in Kansas and New York, he said.
Detrich said he hopes to sell his Xiphactinus fossil to a museum for display, preferably in Kansas. He said he wants the fossil available to the public, especially children.
"I'd like to see it go some place it has an effect on young minds," he said.
Another Xiphactinus is already on display in the state at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays. That fossil was discovered by George F. Sternberg in 1952. The famous display is called, "Fish-Within-A-Fish" because of the well-preserved fish inside of its stomach.
Detrich's fossil is three-feet longer than the fossil in Hays and the fish inside its stomach has fossilized scales, a rarity, Detrich said.
For the past 10 years, he has been trying to make the Xiphactinus Kansas' state fossil but to no avail.

Steamboat Springs At age four, Rita Williams already had experienced the death of her mother and abandonment by her father. She was left in the care of Aunt Daisy, the last surviving black widow of a Civil War Union soldier.
"I grew up almost at a crossroads, where the conversations and concerns and perspective that I lived with at home were all influenced by people looking at America in the 1800s," Williams said.
Williams used her access to a multi-generational legacy to create a historical record in her novel "If the Creek Don't Rise." The underlying theme of the story is about going from having nothing to becoming a person who is self-supporting and able to contribute, Williams said.
Williams' mother and aunt were hunting and fishing guides in Steamboat Springs' Strawberry Park in the 1930s.
"There is just no place on the national consciousness that there were black Westerners, pioneers and cowboys." Williams said. "My people really accomplished extraordinary things, and when we look at Strawberry Park today, nobody would have known of that existence."
Aunt Daisy was 21 when she met her future husband, Robert Anderson. He was 79.
"Daisy was starving at the time she met him. He offered her a life that wouldn't involve her having to step off the sidewalk if a white woman was walking towards her," Williams said. "That may not be pretty in terms of how we are supposed to have romance and love and flowers, but that's the reality of it."
Anderson was born into slavery and became a soldier in the 125th Colored Infantry of the Union army. His infantry fought American Indians, which created a considerable conflict for Daisy, Williams said.
"It struck me as such a dichotomy that Daisy's grandmother was a Cherokee and she had married an Indian fighter."
Williams became Daisy's personal project to right the racial wrongs of the past, but it was a tall order for the young girl.
"I felt like I had a telescope backwards and forwards and was privileged to see that much, but I felt like it was a huge burden," Williams said. "I think what I did for a long time was try to figure out what's real."
While Daisy cleaned at Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp, Williams sat in the Jeep and watched the dancers.
"I would hear them engage in conversations that didn't question whether or not they would survive. What I saw was possible and incomprehensible and I wanted to become an artist, myself," Williams said.
She later had the opportunity to attend Perry-Mansfield and The Lowell Whiteman School. She went on to earn a master's of fine art from the California Institute of the Arts.
She has used her writing to put together a novel that reflects the unique account of the lies that families live. Williams' biggest struggle while growing up involved people telling her about all of the things she could never become.
"People were telling me, 'Oh, you're a rancher's daughter, but you can't be because black people don't ranch.' My aunt said that I could never be a dancer because that's what floosies do. One homogenous group everywhere I went was clear that I should be one thing," Williams said. "Most importantly, I can be all of those things, whether or not somebody co-signs it."

Western Canada Select Falls to $40 Discount Seen in January
Eliot CaroomCanadian heavy crude fell to the widest discount since January against West Texas Intermediate with pipelines out of Alberta unable to meet demand and maintenance under way at U.S. Midwest refineries.
Pipelines owned by Enbridge Inc. weren't able to carry all that crude shippers sought to transport this month, according to two notices from the company. Refineries that consume Canadian crude are doing work, including Citgo Petroleum Corp.'s Lemont, Illinois plant, where a crude unit was shut by fire, and BP Plc's Whiting, Indiana, complex, which will ramp up after starting a new coker.
"We have big apportionments again on pipelines, on Enbridge for example," David Bouckhout, senior commodity strategist for Toronto-Dominion Bank, said in an interview from Calgary. "That's obviously going to keep some supplies building up back in Alberta. That's going to weigh on pricing again."
Western Canadian Select slid $2.50 a barrel to a $40 discount against WTI at 4:16 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It was the widest differential since Jan. 14. Canadian Syncrude, a light oil processed from heavy crude, weakened $2 a barrel to a $15 discount to the U.S. benchmark, the lowest level since Mar. 13, 2012.
Enbridge Lines
Enbridge apportioned Line 4, which carries as much as 796,000 barrels a day of crude to Superior, Wisconsin, from Edmonton, Alberta, by 13 percent for the month of November. Two lines south from Superior also were apportioned.
West Texas crudes strengthened against WTI after a refinery that processes high-sulfur oil finished maintenance.
WTS, a medium-density crude priced in Midland, Texas, gained $1.50 a barrel to a discount of $4.25 a barrel below WTI in Cushing, Oklahoma. WTI in Midland, Texas, gained $1.25 a barrel against the crude in Cushing, to a discount of $3.25.
Phillips 66 finished planned work at the Borger refinery in Texas, Rich Johnson, a Houston-based spokesman for the company, said yesterday by e-mail. The refinery processes primarily medium, sour crude delivered through pipelines from western Texas, the Texas Panhandle, Wyoming and Canada, according to the company's website.
Midland is the closest hub to the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the U.S. at more than 1.2 million barrels a day, according to the Energy Information Administration.
After hovering near parity with WTI in Cushing for most of this year, Midland prices fell in October amid refinery maintenance and pipeline constraints.
Magellan Midstream Partners LP plans to avoid any downtime this quarter or next for its Longhorn pipeline, which did pump work in the third quarter, Chief Executive Officer Mike Mears said during a third-quarter earnings call yesterday. The line carries crude to Houston from western Texas.

England Synchro Talent Development Squad report
From the results of the December 2010 National Age Group Synchronised Swimming Championships, 16 athletes were selected aged 13-15, to attend the England Talent Development Squad Trials in February at Crystal Palace.
After an exhausting weekend of assessments, time trials and tests including speed swimming, flexibility and synchro skills, the top twelve athletes were selected to attend four further Level 3 Talent Camps.
Coaches were invited to work with the Level 3 Talent Squad, a Head Coach was appointed along with a bank of Assistant Coaches to assist during the camps. Kate Coupar was selected to lead the team as the Head Coach. Kate is one of the new ASA-funded full time Development Synchro Coaches and is employed by GLL working for Reading Royals Synchro Club.
The athletes continued to work during the camps and at their clubs on improving their technical synchro skils and perfect an ex-senior GB routine. During the camps they received sports science support in strength, conditioning and core work, nutrition and physio screening. In June the top 10 athletes were selected to the Primorje Synchro Cup in Croatia.
The athletes arrived in Croatia in 30+ degree heat. It was a great test for all involved with the competition organisation differences, including no training on the first day for any teams. The athletes worked with the Head Coach to adapt to the circumstances and make best use of the hotel facilities and the sea-front location.
The facilities were stunning. Set on the beautiful Croatian coast, the indoor 50m pool with sliding roof was the venue for the competition and the outdoor 50m pool, usually used for water polo, was at our disposal for all our training requirements.
There were nine teams entered and while the standard of the other countries varied, they all looked a similar level to ourselves which gave the athletes confidence that they could do well.
They all rose to the occasion improving their figure scores from the National Age Groups by a huge amount and it was very encouraging to see them retain what they have learnt so far on the Level 3 Camps. The top three were very close after figures - Austria led Israel and then us. A little further away were Switzerland and Croatia.
The challenging routine was looking technically good and synchronized in the practice. Most athletes were focused on the team performance and the goals set.
This was the first international routine performance for most of our athletes and the nerves showed at the start of the performance but as they progressed the routine got stronger and stronger finishing with the best end back flip lift they had ever performed. Israel performed their routine exceptionally well overtaking Austria into gold medal position.
The Talent Squad's hard work to date was rewarded by winning third place and coming home with a bronze medal, adding to the international synchro medal tally headed up by the British Gas GBR Senior Synchronised Swimming Team.
The athletes will now return for two further training camps at the High Performance Centre in preparation for a much tougher event in Italy, the COMEN Cup. The standards will be higher with some of the top Countries in the world competing.
With the experiences gained in Croatia at the competition we will be expecting the squad to raise its standards as well.

The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant protocol used on the Internet today. Web services, network-enabled appliances and the growth of network computing continue to expand the role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, while increasing the number of applications that require HTTP support.
Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for accessing resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill this void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards and recommendations.
Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed communication.
HttpClient strives to conform to the following specifications endorsed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the internet at large:

Some updates from WBS practice today:
— Keven Veilleux needs knee surgery and will be out of action for six months, coach John Hynes said. It's another tough break for a kid who missed all but nine games of his rookie year with a shoulder injury. He's always been an interesting prospect because he's got such a rare combination of size, hands and grit, but he just can't stay on the ice.
— Robert Bortuzzo is in town and is progressing from a knee injury suffered in the Oshawa rookie tournament. Hynes said Bortuzzo has been skating and is close to being worked back into contact situations.
— Niko Dimitrakos is in town but didn't skate today. I'm assuming that's because he has to go through the physicals and testing that the other guys did on the first day of camp. Hynes said he sees Dimitrakos as a good offensive-minded player and a good power-play guy.
— Hynes said he expects Jason Williams to arrive in town later today or tomorrow, but that he doesn't expect Williams to play this weekend.
— Alexandre Picard was on the ice today and looks like he'll be the No. 1 point man on the WBS power play. Other people who practiced in that role today were Bryan Lerg, Simon Despres, Joey Mormina and Carl Sneep. I didn't notice Alex Grant there, which is curious since he's got such a big shot, but maybe I just missed him.
— I had penciled in Grant for the sixth spot on defense in the opening night lineup, but after watching practice today, I get the impression there's more of an open competition at that spot, with Grant, Cody Wild and Philip Samuelsson in contention.
— Depending on the status of Dimitrakos and Williams, Cody Chupp may have carved out an interesting little spot for himself in the early going. He practiced on the third line with Lerg and Paul Thompson today.
— Brian Day didn't practice today, and now that I think about it, he did leave Tuesday's skate a little early. If he's banged up, the forward competition shakes out like this, in my estimation: Dimitrakos, Williams, Chupp, Brandon DeFazio, Devin DiDiomete and Ryan Schnell for three jerseys. Once Williams is healthy and Dimitrakos is up to speed, they're locks.
— EDIT: Another spot in the season opener lineup opened up today when Zach Sill was suspended one exhibition game and one regular-season game for a hit on Hershey's Zach Miskovic last Saturday. It's the WBS Penguins' first run-in with the new Rule 48, which now bans all hits where the head is targeted and is the principal point of contact, rather than just blindside hits. I didn't see the hit well enough to know whether Miskovic's head was targeted on the play, but he ended up with a bloody nose, so there was definitely contact to the head of some sort. Adirondack's Ben Holmstrom also got a two-game suspensions for a hit to the head of Penguins winger Colin McDonald on Sunday. McDonald wasn't injured on the play. Alex Grant fought Holmstrom immediately after the hit.
— Last thing: USA Today had the list of NHL opening night rosters today. I counted 32 former WBS Penguins — eight in Pittsburgh and 24 elsewhere. Two highlights: Corey Potter appears to have stuck in Edmonton and Nate Guenin is on Anaheim's roster. I hope I didn't miss anyone. I even included Chris Thorburn.
(Here's my list, in case anyone wants to check up on me: Deslauriers, Guenin, Ference, Brent, Kostopoulos, Goligoski, T. Petersen, Conklin, Dubnyk, Gilbert, Potter, Whitney (injured), Scuderi, Brodziak, N. Johnson, Christensen, Konopka, Carkner (injured), Talbot, Bissonnette, Rozsival, Malone, Armstrong, Thorburn, Engelland, Fleury, Kennedy, Letang, Letestu, Lovejoy, Orpik, Vitale.)
Bye for now,

You can think of a mask or an alpha channel as a more visual way to represent a selection. Think back to earlier in this lesson when you used the feather command on a selection to create a soft vignette effect. You could use numeric values for the feathering amount, but there was no way to see the results of the feathering until you deleted the background.
Let's get an introduction to Quick Mask mode by creating a vignette effect a different way. Open an image and make an elliptical selection.
The Quick Mask buttons appear directly under the color palette on the toolbox. The shortcut key for Quick Mask is Q and this acts as a toggle to turn Quick Mask Mode on and off.
After making your elliptical selection, tap the Q key to switch to Quick Mask mode. The non-selected areas of the image are visible through a red screen.
The red shading indicates the masked (or non-selected areas). Now we want to feather the selection to create the vignette effect... but, what's this? The Select > Feather command is disabled. No fear... instead of feathering the selection, we can use the Gaussian Blur filter to get the same results. The difference is, we'll be able to see those results in real time.
Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. You may need to click and drag in the small preview area to bring the edge of your image into view. However, if you click the preview check box, you can preview the changes in your actual image.
Since we went into Quick Mask mode before invoking the Gaussian Blur filter, the effects are only applied to our mask.
Now drag the Radius slider up to a range between 10-20 pixels and observe the Quick Mask.
OK the Gaussian Blur dialog.
Tap the Q key to exit Quick Mask mode.
Invert your selection.
Fill with white.
While this may seem like more steps than using the feather command, it's better because you can get a pretty good idea if your blur amount was right before making any drastic changes. With the feathering method it may take a few tries since it's basically guess work and you won't know if you guessed right until you fill the background.
That was the quick intro; there's actually a whole lot more you can do with Quick Mask. But first, let's explore some of the Quick Mask options.
If you double click either of the Quick Mask buttons on the toolbox, you can change the options.
If you prefer the colored area to represent the selection instead of the mask you can change that here. If the default red overlay color isn't working for your image, you can click the color square to change it to something that works better. And finally, you can adjust the opacity of the overlay color. Feel free to experiment with these options on your own.

███ Worked! ██ Senators ████ S█PA & P█PA ██
Don't mess with a determined Internet…
Rarely does a coordinated campaign get through to our representatives in Washington DC. But Wednesday's Internet protest efforts seems to have made a real difference.
At least 18 senators have dropped their support for the controversial Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the wake of Wednesday's online outrage-via-outage, seven of whom were former co-sponsors.
How did we get here? The Internet as you know it could change forever if Congress has its way. Two bills — nicknamed SOPA and PIPA — have the most potential to curb Internet freedom in ways you only thought possible in countries to the north of South Korea. The one time we need a do-nothing Congress, instead we end up with know-nothing politicians who love to kill a good buzz.
The two controversial anti-piracy bills are called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) the Protect IP Act (PIPA). They're aimed at curbing copyright infringement and intellectual property theft, but they take draconian measures in doing so, measures that would drastically change the way you waste time on the Internet. The bills would limit offending sites' visibility on Google and other directories and block ad sales and PayPal transactions. Basically, if you host copyrighted content, no one will be able to find you and you won't be able to make money. Click here to find out *exactly* what will happen.
So the Internet fought back. On Wednesday, beginning at the stroke of midnight, Wikipedia shut down the site for 24 hours in protest. Jimmy Wales' online encyclopedia wasn't alone — Reddit shut down for 12 hours, TwitPic, BoingBoing, Mozilla, WordPress.org, and thousands of other sites went dark in protest of the bill that critics say will violate the First Amendment and "splinter the Internet's architecture."
Behemoths like Tumblr, which hosts a sea of blogs containing potentially troublesome mp3s, videos and images, have been voicing their outrage since November. Google, Yahoo!, Twitter and eBay are all opposed (but didn't black out). A Reddit campaign convinced domain registry GoDaddy and even Rep. Paul Ryan to drop support for the bill. House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa called the legislation "flawed" and said the House would "build consensus" before pursuing it further. Even President Obama, who usually doesn't wade into messes early in a fight, said he wouldn't support it.
After Wednesday's protestation, the likelihood of SOPA and/or PIPA passing decreased tremendously. "A whip count by OpenCongress found 35 supporters (including 34 co-sponsors), 18 opponents, and 12 more Senators leaning toward opposition. About 35 Senators have not committed to a position, perhaps reluctant to do so for fear of angering either deep-pocketed Hollywood campaign contributors or their constituents back home," Ars Technica reported. It's unclear how much support fell off the SOPA bandwagon, but it doesn't look good for the bill when House Speaker John Boehner says it's "pretty clear to many of us that there is a lack of consensus at this point."
Here's a list of the 18 senators who jumped off the PIPA bandwagon, mostly Republicans: Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Boozman (R-AR), Scott Brown (R-MA), Ben Cardin (D-MD), John Cornyn (R-TX), Jim DeMint (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), James Inhofe (R-OK), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Olympia Snowe (R-ME), David Vitter (R-LA), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Mike Johanns (R-NE) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH).
You may not know this, but former Senator Chris Dodd is now the head of the Motion Picture Association of America. On Tuesday, he issued a statement calling these anti-SOPA blackouts "irresponsible," accusing them of publican relations chicanery. "A so-called 'blackout' is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals," he wrote in a statement. "It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this 'blackout' to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy."
SOPA is not dead, contrary to what has been reported. It's like the Rasputin of bills — it just won't die. The latest word is that it will come back for mark-up in February. And a vote on PIPA in the Senate is not far off either. It's time to pay very close attention.
So who in hell is still defending SOPA?
Besides groups such as the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, the Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO, Rupert Murdoch has been hilariously vocal about his support. The NewsCorp codger took to Twitter Saturday, blasting Google for "[streaming] movies free, [selling] advts around them" and Obama for having "thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery."

Hi all. Ive got my server up and running now with a backup server setup in case of the unexpected but for some reason i cannot change the default website home page. my clients can change there own, but i can't. i'm stuck with my slightly modified custom holding page that is created when a new site is made (just adds a logo) I just want to make my hosting service site so i can have small tutorials on how to login and add new clients ect I did add it to a client (made one to hold a couple of sites not to billed ie my own) would that make a difference? i've uploaded my own html index file but even clearing my cache hasn't done anything kinda stumped because before i reinstalled after testing purposes i could?? thanks guys and gals!
yes it is. thought i changed it. my host has been having hardware trouble lately and just moved everyone to a new server so maybe something has got screwed there. Do you think deleting the site and then creating again might work?
Sorry but I'm not quite sure that made sense. I'm the owner of the server but just getting annoyed that I can't make my own homepage for my company but clients can
The problem is the hostname here and not the site. the hostname of a server shhould be a subdomain like server1.yourdomain.tld. Pleasechenge the hostname in /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/mailname and /etc/postfix/main.cf and reboot the server. Your website should start working then. Regarding the above post of the other guy, its most likely spam, he posted in several threads ansers that make no sense.
I had the problem that I could not access a created site called "server1.example.com" - the servers FQDN. The solution I found was to add Code: ServerName localhost inside the VirtualHost in Code: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default That did it. Hope it helps anyone.
I just changed that to what you said but its not loading the index page ive uploaded. ive cleared my cache so i know its not that
Just been doing some testing, and it seems to me that ive got 4 websites pointing to one domains page. ie, my-main-domain.co.uk ---> my 3rd site (should be own site pages) my-second-site.co.uk ---> my 3rd site (should also be own site pages) my-3rd-site.co.uk -------> correct website clients-website.co.uk ----> my 3rd site (should definatly not be showing my site!) Arrow showing where the domain name resolves the files to. Im using ISPCONFIG 3 (hence asking on these forums) if that makes any difference what can i do to solve this? i can remove the client site as its my testing client (friend asked me to make a site so no prob making again) Also i can remove the other sites and create them again as they have nothing other than the default pages due to this error
Have you restarted Apache afterwards? Make sure you use either IP-addresses or wildcard (*) in Web Domain IPv4/6 settings for all the websites and don't mix them. Also test with Auto-Subdomain = None, and no wildcard redirects in the Redirect tab for all the websites.
Hurray! Its fixed Thanks guys and gals!! Got it working now! Like you said for some reason the sites had lost the assigned ip setting and now it all works again!! Thank you thank you thank you!

On 19 June 2012, due to their deteriorating health, women human rights defenders Basma Al-Keumy, lawyer, and Basma Al-Rajehy, writer and TV broadcaster, ended their hunger strike aimed at their administrative detention which continued until 24 June 2012 and the lack of access to their families and lawyers. Both women were arrested on 11 June 2012 along with approximately 20 other protestors when security forces and anti-riot police broke up a three-day protest held in front of the
There has been much controversy over a piece written by journalist Mona Eltahawy in the most recent issue of Foreign Policy Magazine entitled "Why Do They Hate Us: The Real War on Women is in the Middle East". Here Eltahawy and renouned scholar Leila Ahmed discuss the controversy.
The Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD IC) stands in solidarity with Abdulhadi Al Khawaja and women human rights defenders in Bahrain as they demand democracy, government accountability and an end to the torture and detention of those demanding political change. Al Khawaja is a long opposition and human rights activist who has defended human rights of women for many years. He is in prison serving a life sentence imposed by a military court because of his peaceful anti-government protests and has been on a hunger strike for the past two and a half months.
Parastoo Dokouhaki and Marzieh Rasouli, Iranian journalists and bloggers who were arrested last week, are being kept in solitary cells at Tehran's Evin prison. Latest reports from Iran indicate that the two are held by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (Sepah) in the so-called 'Ward AA' (do Alef). The AA Ward of the Evin Prison is not under the jurisdiction or supervision of the Iranian Prisons Organizations, and is illegally run by the Intelligence Department of the IRGC.
Last week, agents stormed the houses of Dokouhaki and Rasouli and arrested the aforementioned, confiscating their laptops and other personal belongings. The two have been charged with "acting against national security" and "propaganda against the regime" – loosely defined charges that are repeatedly used in a range of cases. The real reasons for the arrests are, thus, not clear. So far, the journalists have been denied the right of access to attorney and no visitation with their family has been granted.
The international solidarity network Women Living Under Muslim Laws is shocked to learn that the Iranian security forces have carried out a new wave of arrests against journalists and women's rights activists. This is a worrying development, as it shows the pressure on political activities and prisoners are mounting in Iran.
Alieh Eghdam Doust, women's rights activist was released from prison today on January 8, 2011 after serving a three year prison term. Alieh was sentenced to serve three years in prison after she was arrested on June 12, 2006 along with nearly 70 other protesters in Haft-e Tir Square, during a protest demanding equal rights for women. Alieh was subsequently tried in Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Courts, on charges of acting against national security and sentenced to 3 years and four months in prison and 20 lashes.
We live in historic times. People in the Arab world are rising up against political dictatorship and corruption; they demand reforms and are organizing for freedom, human dignity and social justice. Women have been shouldering the responsibilities in all uprisings and their movement is an integral part of the democratic forces for social and economic justice. But they are systematically excluded from the decision making processes that shape the future of their countries. What democracies are then being prepared and negotiated?

I'd wear this.
Suuuuper sweet style, and the message is funny, because it contradicts the feel of the illo! Haha +1!
ugghhh… its good but cut out the message imo
I think its cool, and in most cases I hate text but I think thats what really makes this design
Shirts with typography or text typically don't fare very well on this site but I can see this doing well. Nice job on coming at the bear tee from another angle.
Cool concept. +1
Thanks for all the comments so far. To be honest I was in two minds whether to include the text or not. In the end I decided it probably needed something to make it a bit different. I don't think there's really a wrong answer, design is always really subjective, but it's good to have the debate.
Yes please!
lovely work
great +1

JOIN and UEFA EURO 2012
This tutorial introduces JOIN which allows you to use data from two or more tables. The tables contain all matches and goals from UEFA EURO 2012 Football Championship in Poland and Ukraine.
The first example shows the goal scored by 'Bender'.
Show matchid and player name for all goals scored by Germany.
teamid = 'GER'
SELECT * FROM goal
WHERE player LIKE '%Bender'
SELECT matchid, player
FROM goal
WHERE teamid LIKE 'GER'
From the previous query you can see that Lars Bender's goal was scored in game 1012. Notice that the column matchid in the goal table corresponds to the id column in the game table.
Show id, stadium, team1, team2 for game 1012
SELECT id,stadium,team1,team2
FROM game
WHERE stadium LIKE '%Warsaw%'
SELECT id,stadium,team1,team2
FROM game
WHERE id=1023
You can combine the two steps into a single query with a join. You will get all the game details and all the goal details if you use
SELECT * FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
Show the player, teamid and mdate and for every German goal. teamid='GER'
SELECT player,stadium
FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
SELECT player,teamid,mdate
FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
WHERE teamid='GER'
Use the same join as in the previous question.
Show the team1, team2 and player for every goal scored by a player called Mario player LIKE 'Mario%'
SELECT team1, team2, player
FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
WHERE player LIKE 'Mario%'
The table eteam gives details of every national team including the coach. You can JOIN goal to eteam using the phrase goal JOIN eteam on teamid=id
Show player, teamid, coach, gtime for all goals scored in the first 10 minutes gtime<=10
SELECT player, teamid, gtime
FROM goal
WHERE gtime<=10
SELECT player, teamid, coach, gtime
FROM goal JOIN eteam ON (teamid=id)
WHERE gtime<=10
To JOIN game with eteam you could use either
game JOIN eteam ON (team1=eteam.id)
or game JOIN eteam ON (team2=eteam.id)
Notice that because id is a column name in both game and eteam you must specify eteam.id instead of just id
List the dates of the matches in which 'Fernando Santos' was the team1 coach.
SELECT mdate,teamname
FROM game JOIN eteam ON (team1=eteam.id)
WHERE coach='Fernando Santos'
List the player for every goal scored in a game where the staium was 'National Stadium, Warsaw'
SELECT player
FROM goal JOIN game ON (id=matchid)
WHERE stadium = 'National Stadium, Warsaw'
More difficult questions
Show names of all players who scored a goal against Germany.
Select goals scored by non-German players in matches where GER was the id of either team1 or team2.
You can use teamid!='GER'
to prevent listing German players.
You can use DISTINCT to stop players being listed twice.
SELECT player, gtime
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE (team1='GER' AND team2='GRE')
SELECT DISTINCT player
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE (team1 = 'GER' OR team2 = 'GER')
AND teamid!='GER'
You should COUNT(*) in the SELECT line and GROUP BY teamname
SELECT teamname, player
FROM eteam JOIN goal ON id=teamid
SELECT teamname,COUNT(teamid)
FROM eteam JOIN goal ON id=teamid
GROUP BY teamname
SELECT stadium,COUNT(1)
FROM goal JOIN game ON id=matchid
GROUP BY stadium
The example shows teams that scored a goal at stadiums where Poland has played its matches.
to remove duplicates from your query results.SELECT distinct teamid
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE Stadium IN
(SELECT stadium FROM game
WHERE team1 = 'POL' OR team2 = 'POL')
SELECT DISTINCT player
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE stadium = 'National Stadium, Warsaw'
AND mdate NOT IN
(SELECT mdate FROM game
WHERE team1 = 'CZE' OR team2 = 'CZE')
The query shows the stadiums, where the teams who scored more than 8 goals played their matches.
SELECT teamid, count(*) FROM goal
(SELECT COUNT(distinct id) FROM game
WHERE team1 = teamid OR team2 = teamid)
group by teamid
SELECT distinct stadium
FROM game WHERE team1 IN
(SELECT teamid FROM goal
group by teamid having count(*) > 8)
The next tutorial about the Movie database involves some slightly more complicated joins.

Middlesbrough reportedly turn down Nottingham Forest bid for Albert Adomah
Nottingham Forest have reportedly had an approach for Ghanaian winger Albert Adomah turned down by Middlesbrough.
Forest are said to have lodged a £1.75million bid for the 26-year-old, but Boro made it clear that the player is not for sale under any circumstances.
Adomah was Middlesbrough's top scorer last season. He netted 12 times as the club finished the Championship season in 12th place, safely in mid-table.
This summer he received a call-up to the Ghana squad for the 2014 World Cup, but saw only 12 minutes of action as the Black Stars were knocked out in the group stage.
He is reportedly one of Stuart Pearce's top targets this season as the new Forest boss looks to build a side capable of gaining promotion to the Premier League.
This article has 1 comment(s), give your commentmaubs says:
July 17, 2014 09:43 pmgood on you adomah continue proving people wrong and pay no mind to the bashing from some negative people. Even maradona would struggle in a badly run set up. How many teams in africa were better than abedi and yeboah squad in 1992 but did we make the world cup? African cup?. Every one who knows football will know about J cruyff and how he got some players dropped and as a result holland lost in their best chance to win world cup ever.The problem is not with no individual player but the FA set up and AA not knowing the best way to deploy players in particular situations.Keep your standards up and soon they will be shouting your names loudest in ghana football circles. Hopefully by that time we will have learnt our lessons and doing the right thing and not foriegn boy bashing.

Clirr Maven Plugin
Clirr is a tool that checks Java libraries for binary and source compatibility with older releases. Basically you give it two sets of jar files and Clirr dumps out a list of changes in the public API. The clirr-maven-plugin can be configured to break the build, if it detects incompatible API changes. In a continuous integration process, the Clirr Maven Plugin can automatically prevent accidental introduction of binary or source compatibility problems. Additionally, the plugin can generate a report as part of the generated site.

Get Too Comfortable - Lil Wayne feat Babyface
[Chorus: Babyface]
I'm not saying this to shake you up
I'm just saying this to wake you up
It's all good when we making love
All I ask is don't take our love
For granted, it's granted
My love for you, is real
Baby if you don't love me
Somebody else will
So don't you ever get too comfortable
[Lil Wayne]
Yeah to the left to the left
If you want to leave be my guest, you can step
Feeling irreplaceable listening to Beyonce
But ok ill put you out on your BDay
Now if you rocking with Weezy
Bedroom in the bank, baby we safe
I got game like E.A.
But I want to let you play
And don't I treat you like souffl??
Don't I look at you like I see a new day
And don't I do what I do say
I'm through talking so I'm a let you, Face
[Chorus: Babyface]
[Lil Wayne]
Yeah let me catch my breath
You talking bout leave baby you ain't gone yet
And if you leave, leave correct
And I'm a send a jet to pick up the next
And if you leave, you're leaving the best
So you would have to settle for less
I am no Elliot Ness, I don't handcuff I don't arrest
I do confess to the virginsy
Cause under them sheets I am a mess
Yes, baby you blessed
Not chess don't jump your nest
[Chorus: Babyface]
[Lil Wayne]
Yeah, it's no sweat no sweat
I will never 1, 2, 3 4-get
About you, your love, your sex
You know I work you out like bowflex
Our jokes, no stress
Love live life proceed progress
Make sure the neighbors get no rest
We can get together, never disconnect
Your back, your neck
Funny how that song hasn't got old yet - to us
So let's project
You stay in, never incorrect
[Chorus: Babyface]

As the global to local plan for sustainable development continues to gain momentum, it is worthwhile to step back and take a long look at the big picture, painted with a broad brush to reveal what Virginia might look like as his vision for the Commonwealth is more fully implemented over the next 10 years or so.
The picture painted here is based on official documents published by countless government agencies and non-government organizations during the past two decades as public policy for the transformation of our great nation for a "Sustainable America". These documents were rarely reported in the news, and average working people have no idea what sustainable development really means, and even less knowledge of what is in store for the future. If the vision of sustainable development continues to unfold as it has in the last decade, life in the Commonwealth and the rest of the nation will be quite different in the future. Click on Map to enlarge.
The Vision
Half the land area of Virginia and the entire United States (in red on the map) will be designated "wilderness areas," where only wildlife managers and researchers will be allowed. These areas will be interconnected by "corridors of wilderness" to allow migration of wildlife, without interference by human activity. Wolves will be as plentiful in Virginia as they are now in Idaho and Montana.
Surrounding these wilderness areas and corridors, designated "buffer zones" (in yellow on the map) will be managed for "conservation objectives." The primary objective is "restoration and rehabilitation." Rehabilitation involves the repair of damaged ecosystems, while restoration usually involves the reconstruction of natural or semi-natural ecosystems. As areas are restored and rehabilitated, they are added to the wilderness designation, and the buffer zone is extended outward.
Buffer zones are surrounded by what is called "zones of cooperation." This is where people live - in "sustainable communities." Sustainable communities are defined by strict "urban growth boundaries." Land outside the growth boundaries will be managed by government agencies, which grant permits for activities deemed to be essential and sustainable. Open space, to provide a "viewshed" and sustainable recreation for community residents will abut the urban boundaries. Beyond the viewshed, sustainable agricultural activities as defined by government will be permitted, to support the food requirements of nearby communities.
Sustainable communities of the future will bear little resemblance to the towns and cities of the 20th century. Single-family homes will be rare. Housing will be provided by public/private partnerships, funded by our state treasury (in light green on the map), and managed by non-government "Home Owners Associations." Housing units will be designed to provide most of the infrastructure and amenities required by the residents. Shops and office space will be an integral part of each unit, and housing will be allocated on a priority basis to people who work in the unit - with quotas to achieve ethnic and economic balance. Schools, daycare, and recreation facilities will be provided. Each unit will be designed for bicycle and foot traffic, to reduce, if not eliminate, the need for people to use automobiles.
Transportation between sustainable communities, for people and for commodities, will be primarily by rail systems, designed to bridge wilderness corridors where necessary. The highways that remain will be super transport corridors, such as the proposed "Trans-Texas Corridor", which will eventually reach from Mexico to Canada. These transport corridors will also be designed to bridge wilderness corridors, and to minimize the impact on the environment.
What is perhaps the most serious consequence of sustainable development is the least visible: the transformation of the policy-making process. The idea that government is empowered by the consent of the governed is the idea that set the United States apart from all previous forms of government. It is the principle that unleashed individual creativity and free markets, which launched the spectacular rise of the world's most successful nation. The idea, and the process by which citizens can reject laws they don't want, simply by replacing the officials who enacted them, makes the ballot box the source of power for every citizen, and the point of accountability for every politician.
When public policy is made by elected officials who are accountable to the people who are governed, then government is truly empowered by the consent of the governed. Sustainable development has designed a process through which public policy is designed by professionals and bureaucrats, and implemented administratively, with only symbolic, if any, participation by elected officials and the public. The professionals and bureaucrats who actually make the policies are not accountable to the people who are governed by them.
This is the "new collaborative decisions process," called for by the President's Council on Sustainable Development and is being used to steer communities to a "consensus" of a predetermined goal. Because the policies are developed at the top, by professionals and bureaucrats, and sent down the administrative chain of command to state and local governments, elected officials have little option but to accept them. Acceptance is further ensured when these policies are accompanied by "economic incentives" (grants) along with lobbying and public relations campaigns coordinated by government-funded non-government organizations.
Higher housing costs are an immediate, visible consequence of sustainable development. Land within the urban growth boundary jumps in value because supply is limited, and continues to increase disproportionately in value as growth continues to extinguish supply. These costs must be reflected in the price of housing. Add to this price pressure, the regulatory requirements to use "green seal" materials; that is, materials that are certified, either by government or a designated non-government organization, to have been produced by methods deemed to be "sustainable."
Higher taxes are another immediate, visible, and inevitable consequence of sustainable development. Higher land values automatically result in higher tax bills. Sustainable development plans include another element that affects property taxes. Invariably, these plans call for the acquisition of land for open space, for parks, for greenways, for bike-and-hike trails, for historic preservation, conservation easements and many other purposes. Governor McDonnell included plans for a trust fund to acquire land for affordable housing and provide financial assistance to low-income residents and those affected by foreclosure and for the homeless. Every subsidy and piece of property taken out of the private sector by government acquisition, forces the tax burden to be distributed over fewer taxpayers. The inevitable result is a higher rate for each remaining taxpayer.
Another consequence of sustainable development is the gross distortion of justice. Bureaucrats who draw lines on maps create instant wealth for some people, while prohibiting others from realizing any gain on their investments. In communities across the country, people who live outside the downtown area have lived with the expectation that one day, they could fund their retirement by selling their land to new home owners as the nearby city expanded. A line drawn on a map coupled with strict land use regulations and zoning steals this expectation from people who live outside the urban growth boundary. Proponents of sustainable development are forced to argue that the greater good for the community is more important than negative impacts on any individual. There is no equal justice, when government arbitrarily takes value from one person and assigns it to another.
Nowhere is this injustice more visible than when eminent domain, conservation easements, and regulations designed to manipulate the homeowner into surrendering his property in despair, is used to implement sustainable development plans. The Kelo vs. The City of New London case brought the issue to public awareness, but in cities throughout the nation, millions of people are being displaced, with no hope of finding affordable housing, in the new, "sustainable" community.
In Florida, this situation is particularly acute. Retirees have flocked to Florida and settled in mobile home parks to enjoy their remaining days, living on fixed incomes, too old or infirm to think about a new income producing career. Local governments across the state are condemning these parks, and evicting the residents, in order to use the land for development that fits the comprehensive plan, and which produces a higher tax yield. Prince William County attempted to condemn a mobile home park that flooded due to government's failure to repair a defective culvert even though the damage to the homes was below the 50% of value threshold to condemn. Fortunately, the court ruled against the plan but many aren't so fortunate and fall victims of the "greater good," as envisioned by the proponents of sustainable development.
Housing is considered "affordable" if median home prices in an area are no more than three times the median household income in that area. This ratio is called the "median multiple". By the time sustainable development reached it's peak in California, the median multiple reached close to 11. Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and Richmond were the first in Virginia to adopt the policies with the same consequences reaching the median multiple of 4.1 - 5.7.
Less visible, but no less important, is the erosion of individual freedom. Until the emergence of sustainable development, a person's home was considered to be his castle. William Pitt expressed this idea quite powerfully in Parliament in 1763, when he said:
''The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the crown. It may be frail - its roof may shake - the wind may blow through it - the storm may enter, the rain may enter - but the King of England cannot enter - all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.''
No more. Sustainable development allows king-government to intrude into a person's home before it becomes his home, and dictate the manner and style to which the home must conform. Sustainable development forces the owner of an existing home to transform his home into a vision that is acceptable to king-government. Sustainable development is extinguishing individual freedom for the "greater good," as determined by king-government.
The question that must be asked is: will sustainable development really result in economic prosperity, environmental protection, and social equity for the current generation, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs?
Even in the early days of this century-long transition to sustainability, there is growing evidence that the fundamental flaws in the concept will likely produce the opposite of the desired goals. Forests that have been taken out of productive use in order to conform to the vision of sustainable development have been burned to cinders, annihilating wildlife, including species deemed to be "endangered," resulting in the opposite of "environmental protection". Government- imposed restrictions on resource use in land that is now designated "wilderness," or "buffer zones" have resulted in shortages, accompanied by rapid price increases that result in the opposite of "economic prosperity." In sustainable communities, it is the poorest of the poor who are cast out of their homes to make way for the planners' visions; these victims would not define the experience as "social equity".
Detailed academic studies show that housing costs rise inevitably as sustainable development is implemented. Traffic congestion is often worsened after sustainable development measures are installed. Just ask those in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and Richmond where the principle of sustainable communities was adopted more than a decade ago. And always, private property rights and individual freedom are diminished or extinguished.
Sustainable development is a concept constructed on the principle that government has the right and the responsibility to regulate the affairs of people to achieve government's vision of the greatest good for all. The United States is founded on the principle that government has no rights or responsibility not specifically granted to it by the people who are governed. These two concepts cannot long coexist. One principle, or the other, will eventually dominate.
For the last 20 years, sustainable development has been on the ascendency, permeating state and local governments across the land. Only in the last few years have ordinary people begun to realize that sustainable development is a global initiative, imposed by the highest levels of government. People are just beginning to get a glimpse of the magnitude of the transformation of America that is underway.
The question that remains unanswered is: will Virginians accept this new sustainable future that has been planned for them and imposed upon them? Or, as Virginians have done in the past, will they rise up in defense of their freedom, and demand that their elected officials force the bureaucrats and professionals to return to the role of serving the people who pay their salaries, by administering policies enacted only by elected officials, rather than conspiring to set the policies by which all the people must live?

Good for him. He checked out how he wanted to.
99.99% of people don't get that option.
Very interesting article, although I wouldn't call him rational. He was in good health, he had hobbies he enjoyed...but he was afraid of one day getting old and infirmed. It could have happened in one year or 20 years. He just didn't want to face it when it happened. So he threw his life away because he was afraid of the unknown. It sounds like deep down he had much, much larger issues.
The guy could have had 20+ more years with which to make a positive impact on the world, on his family, his friends, his readers, etc. Who knows what he could have accomplished, and who he could have influenced and changes.
Instead, he passed that up because of exactly what Bonhomme said - fear of the unknown.
This shouldn't be news. There is nothing admirable about this. This guy had issues. People with healthy minds do not kill themselves.
The deeper issue:
I'm Smarter Than The Rest; This Proves It.

The latest news from The Catching Fire set in Georgia is that co-stars Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin are one bromantic move away from coming up with a secret handshake. According to Jennifer Lawrence, the co-stars fell in love with each other while filming The Hunger Games sequel and are now joined at the hip.
Like Janis and Damian in Mean Girls and Alyssa Callaway and Amanda Lemmon in It Takes Two, they've found their their one true best friend and they don't need anyone else. Seriously, no one else. Picture a clubhouse in a backyard that says "no girls allowed. Also no boys allowed who aren't us."
Jennifer Lawrence tells Mark Malkin at E! that she finds their exclusive friendship adorable. Just adorable.
[Sam] and Josh are in love," Lawrence told me last night at the special screening of her new movie, Silver Linings Playbook, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills. "It's the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my entire life. They're crazy about each other and they're inseparable," she continued. "It's incredible."
While we're thrilled to hear that newcomer Sam Claflin (who plays Finnick Odair) and Hunger Games alum Josh Hutcherson (who, as we all know, plays Peeta Mellark) are getting along so beautifully, we can't help but worry about Liam Hemsworth.
Why won't anyone bromance with him on set? Is it because he's betrothed to Miley Cyrus? I'm sure he's still lots of fun to be around. Also he comes with great connections. For example, he can probably text Chris Hemsworth whenever he wants.
So it's really in Josham's best interest to include Liam in their little Bromance 4 Eva Club. Otherwise there's no way they're getting an invite to Miley's wedding(s). And with the exception of the premiere of Catching Fire, it's the most highly anticipated event of 2013.
From one Hunger Games fan to another, please join with me in promoting #Justice4Liam as well as #BromancePhotoProofNowPlease.

Engagement Session
It's Friday, and in honor of the highly anticipated weekend kickoff cocktail hour, we've got a sultry little engagement shoot from Craig Photography, which kind of screams (in the best way possible) Don Draper + a martini glass. Quite possibly the very best way to send you off into your weekend, don't you think? Before you shut down the computer and head to the bar, check out the rest of this shoot. You won't regret the extra few moments at your desk. Cheers to the weekend loves! xoxo
From the photographer… This was probably the most fun shoot my husband John and I have done in a very long time. Amanda (bride) and Mike (groom) told me they wanted a unique E-Session and when I asked what they had in mind, Amanda said "I want the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt "Domestic Bliss" photo shoot in W Magazine meets a Dolce & Gabbana ad". I was THRILLED! I immediately thought of a suite one of our brides used to get ready for her wedding at the Fairmont Hotel in Pittsburgh. I contacted them, pitched the idea and (thank goodness) they loved it! They said we could use their suite for the shoot.
Amanda allowed me to conceptualize, design and direct this session so I had the freedom to do what I wanted (which was pure bliss). Amanda and I started a Pinterest board and pinned what we thought might be good wardrobe ideas for both she & Mike. So this shoot is sexy and sultry but also fun and flirty.
Photography: Craig Photography | Hair + Makeup: Justine Kolano | Venue: Fairmont Hotel
This week was extra pretty, and it's all right here:
an Alexandria wedding that is the absolute definition of pure beauty
a soiree in Washington D.C. with perhaps the prettiest ceremony I've ever seen
a very Gatsby-esque Pittsburgh affair, with lots of beautiful character
a stunningly fresh fête waterside in beautiful Jacksonville
a collection of enchantedly bohemian bridal headpieces

The Nebraska State Library is the oldest public library in the state. In 1855 (before the territory of Nebraska became a state), Congress appropriated monies to the territory of Nebraska for library resources. In 1871, the Nebraska Legislature enacted a statute specifically relating to the creation of the Nebraska State Library. The Library was separated into two sections, law and miscellaneous. The Legislature named the Clerk of the Supreme Court as the librarian, and the judges of the Nebraska Supreme Court as the board of directors of the law collection. The Secretary of State was the librarian for the miscellaneous collection and the Governor, Secretary of State and Auditor as the board of directors for the miscellaneous collection. Both collections were put under the supervision of the Supreme Court in 1913. In 1968, the miscellaneous collection was given to other libraries, leaving only the law books in the State Library. At the present time, the Nebraska State Library contains approximately 130,000 volumes. The shelving in the library, if placed end-to-end, would make one continuous shelf nearly six miles long. The Nebraska State Library serves the needs of the Nebraska Supreme Court, the Nebraska Court of Appeals, attorneys within the State of Nebraska, members of the Nebraska Legislature and their respective staffs, members of other state agencies, pro se litigants, and interested members of the general public. The Nebraska State Library is primarily a reference/research library as opposed to a circulating library.
The Nebraska State Library takes telephone, fax, and e-mail requests for copies of materials in the library collection for patrons outside of the Lincoln area, including state agencies. For members of the Nebraska State Bar Association, the library will copy and mail the copies, or fax the requested materials, along with a statement for the copies and postage to the requesting party. For members of the public, the library requests that payment for copies be made in advance. All copies shall be subject to U.S. copyright laws.
Circulation Policy
While the Nebraska State Library is primarily a research rather than a circulating library, certain materials may be checked out and used by members of the Nebraska State Bar Association and employees of state agencies. Contact the library for more specific checkout policies.
In accordance with the copyright laws of the United States, library materials may be photocopied. The library offers two self-service photocopy machines; one for use by state agencies and one for use by the general public. Persons working for state agencies need to input a billing code for that particular agency and copies are billed directly to the agency. The public machine is a coin and bill operated machine. The charge for photocopies is fifteen (15) cents per page.
Public Terminal Policy
The Nebraska State Library provides current legal information electronically to the Judiciary, legal community and the public on the public access terminal. Sources that are available include: Internet, Westlaw, Premise and Word 2003. The cost for printing is 10 cents per page.

Mercy Mission
this wiki
- "Understanding is honoring the truth beneath the surface."
- ―Moral
"Mercy Mission" is the fifth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' fourth season. It aired on October 7, 2011.
Publisher's summaryEdit
"After groundquakes have devastated the planet Aleen, a Republic relief effort arrives, including the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. When the native Aleena's pleas go unheard, it becomes the duty of the droids to embark on a surreal journey through Aleen's subterranean world to save the planet."[1]
Plot summaryEdit
| ||
Senator Amidala and Master Yoda contact Commander Wolffe, the leader of the humanitarian relief expedition, for a status report on the situation on Aleen, which is fairly joyful considering the circumstances. A fully loaded relief force, including C-3PO and R2-D2 sent along as translators and to interface with the equipment, descends to the surface, which is planned to be only a brief stay because the troops would have to return to the war as soon as possible. The king of the Aleena, Manchucho, welcomes Wolffe and his troopers enthusiastically, though an aftershock disrupts the greeting somewhat. When C-3PO tries to calm the startled villagers just as the quake stops, the Aleena view the golden droid as some sort of divine messenger and ask the Republic troops to put the earth to rest, a request Wolffe understandably has to pass.
While Wolffe and C-3PO explain the function of the delivered supplies to Manchucho, Boost, Sinker, and R2-D2 enter the local Republican communication station to survey and repair the damage the quake has inflicted, accompanied by a few Aleena, who become increasingly impressed with the 'magics' their helpers make work. When C-3PO joins R2 in the station, the villagers are eager to show him something and lead the two droids to a collapsed structure, which contains a huge golden seal embedded in the ground. The seal is revealed to be the entrance of a tunnel leading into the subterranean regions of the planet; when another quake hits the area, C-3PO accidentally slips through the partly uncovered opening and plunges into the dark depths, followed by R2. 3PO's fall is cushioned by a tangle of branches, but then the rubble shaken loose from another shock clogs the entrance tunnel, trapping the droids underground. One of the Aleena tries to fetch help, but with no knowledge of their language Wolffe misunderstands their intentions, so Manchucho and a few of his people race to the structure and initiate a chanting ritual.
While exploring the tunnels they have landed into, C-3PO and R2-D2 suddenly encounter speedy, sparkling lights chasing them and subsequently stumble into a strange subterranean ecosphere which is inhabited by sentient, tree-like beings called Kindalo, who demand them to leave since they claim that the surface dwellers 'destroy the peace'. After C-3PO manages to convince them they are bearing no ill will towards them and mentions that they are here to help with the earthquakes, the Kindalo send the droids to Orphne, an amphibian-like humanoid with mystical powers. Orphne explains that a mutual balance has existed between the Aleena and the subterranean world, which was supposedly unsettled by surface dwellers who have breached the Underground's most vital sanctum. The Underground dwellers are dependent on a filtering process by the soil of the planet which renders the surface air fit for them to breathe, and without this process the air proves toxic to them; the Underdwellers have therefore set off the earthquakes in an attempt to seal the opening. C-3PO offers to fix the damage, and before she dissolves into a swarm of flying fairy sparks, Orphne mysteriously asks the droids to find their true purpose and gives them a parting riddle:
You can run but can not walk
You have a mouth but cannot talk
You have a head but never weep
You have a bed but never sleep
Ask yourself, who are you?
With no other option left, C-3PO attempts to solve the riddle. By viewing the seals in Orphine's chamber (which are in fact elemental signs), however, it is R2 who finds the answer first: a river. By wetting the water seal, R2 activates a waterspout which carries the chamber's central floor plate – with him and C-P3O onboard – through the ceiling back to the surface, right into the middle of Manchucho's chanting congregation. Then poisonous air from the Underground then leaks to the surface through the seal tunnel, and C-3PO finally understands that, because they are droids and thus not dependent on air, he and R2 are the only ones who can close the breach, which is in fact the unsettled seal. Together, the droids put the seal back into place, putting an end to the earthquakes. Though their efforts go unappreciated with the skeptical clone troopers, the Aleena give them their heart-felt gratitude and a very cordial farewell.
