The City Council debated at its meeting Wednesday night a proposed $1 million bond ordinance to allow the redesign of some Hoboken landmark streets. They include Washington Street, Sinatra Drive, Newark Avenue and Observer Highway.
The ordinance was rejected in a 5-4 vote. Six votes were needed to approve the bond.
The council is typically split with five members voting in favor of the initiatives of Mayor Dawn Zimmer, and four people voting against. Generally, Zimmer is able to get her initiatives passed 5-4, but in this case, she would have also needed a vote from one of the opposition members.
"That's a shame; we're elected officials," said Council President Cunningham, who is allied with Zimmer, Wednesday night. "Obviously you don't have [trust]."
Councilman Michael Russo responded, "Trust works both ways."
Exchanges at the council are likely to get more heated since Zimmer is up for re-election in 2013.
The initiative
Residents filled the room to hear the fate of the improvements, which would make the streets more pedestrian-friendly. The bond was introduced last month with a 6-3 vote.
Business Administrator Quentin Wiest said that prior to the adoption of a bond ordinance, the New Jersey Administrative Code requires that an Amendment to the Capital Budget be adopted.
The council members who voted against the ordinance were: Councilwoman Theresa Castellano, Councilwoman Beth Mason, Councilman Tim Occhipinti, and Councilman Michael Russo.
"We need to convert a city that was really never designed for the automobile." – Brian Wagner
"I'm not entirely thrilled of how this bond was put together," said Councilman Occhipinti. "Engineering work should have been included in our budget."
Councilman Russo did not consider it a mere $1 million bond.
"You want to manage your funds correctly," said Councilman Russo. "It's not just about the million dollars; it's about the funding in totality. There's things that we still need to do and there is alternative funding."
Mayor Dawn Zimmer was in support of the bond ordinance.
"Bonding is the fiscally prudent and fair way to pay for long-lasting improvements to our neglected infrastructure," said Zimmer in a press release. "Residents today shouldn't bear the full cost for benefits that future residents will reap from these investments. We're seeing progress on parks because the council approved bonding for those improvements. But just like our parks, our streets, waterfront, garages, police headquarters, and other infrastructure have been neglected for too long."
Roughly $800,000 of the bond would be used for the design and engineering costs for Washington Street. Approximately $100,000 will be allocated to the design and improvements to Sinatra Drive. The remaining $130,000 will be used for improvements on Observer Highway and Newark Street. According to Director of Transportation and Parking Ian Sacs, the total for improvements could reach $16-$18 million.
Councilman Occhipinti suggested the council wait until next year for federal Department of Transportation money to resurface Washington Street.
"Separating the issues and seeking out more creative ways of funding," said Castellano. "I don't want to put our taxpayers or our city in anymore debt."
"Who wants to have their streets have potholes all over them?" asked Councilwoman Mason. "We all think this is a good idea, it's how each [project] gets paid for."
Sacs' worry was that the council would possibly lose the $2.4 million grant from the Department of Transportation for Observer and Newark.
Attorney Mark Peck, who represented Stevens Institute, said the road repairs would impact the school, since the campus is on Sinatra Drive.
"As Hoboken's largest land owner and employer, Stevens would like to be involved in any planning process that affect Sinatra Drive," said Peck.
According to the city press release sent after the meeting, the improvements will be reintroduced separately and the administration will continue to work with the council as well as the public.
Residents weigh in
Residents came forward to voice their support for the bond ordinance.
"Now is the time to put the infrastructure in place before it gets worse," said resident Brian Wagner from Bike Hoboken. "Not just for motorists, but for pedestrians. We need to convert a city that was really never designed for the automobile."
Resident Scott Siegel said, "Washington Street is the business corridor of the city... If you vote against it, you're voting against the motorists and pedestrians."
"We are concerned about this town, from one end to the other," said resident James Vance.
Resident Aaron Willett said he blew a tire on Washington Street.
"The city's capital budget and capital plan is dependent on the city's future, what our community will look like in the years ahead," said resident Ron Hine. "Deferring the city's infrastructure needs which have done so often in the past is no longer an option. This is a win/win for everybody."
A senior resident, Helen Hirsch, said she hoped for the ordinance to be passed to make it easier for disabled seniors like herself to get around. She mentioned that Sinatra Drive is not scooter friendly.
"Please do something to help us," she said.
The council approved payment for land for a southwest park near Harrison Street, Jackson Street, Observer Highway, and Paterson Avenue.
The $2.35 million to purchase the land comes from a Hudson County Open Space grant and the final purchase price will be determined in court.
Phase 1 renovations for Church Square Park were approved with a unanimous vote. They will be paid by a bond that was approved last year. Renovations will be done to two playground areas, the basketball courts, and restroom. The city will be bidding for construction soon.
Future phases will be completed when additional funding is secured.
New rules
The council introduced new rules that would be effective immediately.
"We had council meetings in the past that have gotten a little out of hand," said Council President Cunningham. "We're going to maintain decorum among ourselves and the members of the public."
The public portion of the meeting that used to be at the end of the meeting will now be closer to the beginning. The public will have the standard 5 minutes to speak, but if the council finds there are too many speakers in the hour allotted, they will hear the remaining of public comments toward the end of the meeting.

If there's anything I like about Sagee it's the amount of interesting links he sends out on twitter (and via email). Last week he sent this one out: apparently Apple has filed a patent on a camera that is "hidden" behind a display screen.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Xenogenics Corporation ("Xenogenics"), a majority owned subsidiary of MultiCell Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board MCET), is pleased to announce it has retained the Emmes Group to assist with the development and execution of its capital formation strategy to help finance expanded human clinical trials of its Ideal BioStent™.
In animal testing and initial human use, the Ideal BioStent™ demonstrated equivalence in safety, short-term efficacy, and structural integrity when compared with today's leading bare metal stents and drug-eluting metal stents. Unlike other bioabsorbable stent technologies, the Ideal BioStent™ showed no stent recoil, both acute and at six month follow up, remaining well apposed to the vessel wall. The Ideal BioStent™ is designed to be fully absorbed at 12 months leaving no metal artifact behind, thereby allowing the vessel to heal and return to its natural state.
The Ideal BioStent™
The multi-billion dollar interventional cardiology and intravascular stent market remains extremely lucrative, and one of the most attractive opportunities for medical device companies. Several analysts predict the 2010 estimated worldwide interventional cardiology and intravascular stent market to exceed $4.6 billion, growing 3% to 4% annually. Clinicians, patients and manufacturers are seeking the next generation of interventional cardiology and intravascular medical devices which address long-term safety concerns and improvement of blood vessel health, while still providing efficacy equivalent to current generation products.

Troubled Teens Get Help From Group Homes in Eagle Point, OR
One option for parents of troubled teens in the Eagle Point, OR area is a group home. However, group homes are not just a place to put struggling teens and their issues, but must be a program that provides not only academic care, but therapy and life skills training to help each teen get back on their feet. These changes need to not be temporary, stemmed from a "quick fix"—but permanent and real.
When looking for group homes for children, it is good to remember that public group home options (group homes run by government agencies - City, County, or State) are not often helpful as they are typically underfunded and not well staffed. Additionally, the government run group homes house truly "troubled teens" from the juvenile court system, meaning that most kids who are housed in a government run group home are in the criminal court system (and are not doing well) in Eagle Point, OR. Privately funded therapeutic group homes for adolescents are one of the best ways to get help near Eagle Point, OR. One reason why these types group homes work is the fact that they are a "home-based," family-style environment, coupled with a solid therapeutic program. Moreover, the top group homes for troubled teens also provide an outstanding academic program. For help finding the best residential group homes for teenagers around Eagle Point, OR call 866-471-8579 to speak with a Zion Educational Systems Family Advocate.
Successful Treatment Centers for Troubled Teens
Looking for a residential treatment center for teens in Eagle Point, OR can prove to be a difficult task, and is immensely important for the safety and future of your troubled teen. For substance abuse treatment, group homes can make an excellent treatment center, with caring staff and experienced therapists that help each teen make a life-long transition.
Group homes as treatment and rehabilitation centers work well with families and their struggling teens and they work to ensure that each boy or girl has the proper amount of care that they need. No two cases are alike, and our residential treatment centers know that. We will find not only the perfect program for your teen and family, but then the caring staff at the group home will work with you to endure the best treatment for your child.
Half-Way Homes for Troubled Teens in Eagle Point, OR
Half-way homes, are a commonly known place that is used as an in-between for those struggling with substance abuse and other issues. However, residential treatment programs provide a more comprehensive treatment as they are more than just a rehab center, or a sober-living home; they are a well-rounded program of academics, therapy, and around-the-clock care. They serve troubled teens from Eagle Point, OR and provide residential and therapeutic support along with an education. More importantly, group homes that are actual residential treatment centers provide life coaching--for both the teens and their parents--which helps teens gain realistic life goals, how to accomplish them successfully, and avoid trouble along the way.
The Importance of Mental Health Treatment for Troubled Teens
The purpose of residential group homes ~around region~ are to provide therapy, academics, and living skills training in a structured, community-based residential program. They recognize the teen's need for mental health, as they struggle with various issues such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and poor emotional health.
The most important secondary elements to the top group homes are as follows: vocational training, substance abuse counseling, and independent life skills training. Teens who acquire mental health services through residential treatment centers and group homes are given more than just the customary care; they are each given the individualized attention that they need in order to become happier, healthier human beings and move forward in life as confident adults.

Get ready to be creeped out in downtown Rockford by the words of Stephen King and the songs of John Mellencamp.
Get ready to be creeped out in downtown Rockford by the words of Stephen King and the songs of John Mellencamp.
"Ghost Brothers of Darkland County," a Southern Gothic supernatural rock musical of fraternal love, lust, jealousy and revenge, will play on stage at the Coronado Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. Oct. 26.
T Bone Burnett, a record producer who acted as music director for "Ghost Brothers," said in a telephone interview with the Register Star last month that the play that was 13 years in the making is based on a true murder/double suicide story.
It's about what went on at a cabin in Indiana that Mellencamp bought. SPOILER ALERT: Years before, two brothers got in a fight over a girl, one killed the other and died with the girl a short time later.
"I know people who stayed there," Burnett said of the cabin. "There were noises and radios going off and on," he said.
Mellencamp — known for hits including "Jack & Diane" and "Pink Houses" — told King the story, and King — horror author extraordinaire — wrote the outline for the play. "There's a lot of great Mellencamp songs," Burnett said.
The play is "like a reading with music, like sitting in on a radio play with music," Burnett said. "It will not run like a drama with costumes."
Rockford is one of 10 cities initially hosting the play.
Tickets cost $39.50 to $69.50 and are available at coronadopac.org.

UCC acquired full-fledged university status in 1971. Its objective is to provide quality education through programmes that challenge learners to be creative, innovative, and morally responsible citizens. It aims to develop its activities - teaching and training, research and outreach - in a manner that will allow it to respond effectively to the development needs of a changing world.
Within UCC, the Vi will cooperate with the Department of Economics, which offers undergraduate and graduate programmes featuring courses such as international trade theory and policy, and international finance and open-economy macroeconomics, among others. Current areas of research include trade and poverty, the revenue implications of trade liberalization, corporate tax competition and foreign direct investment (FDI), and South-South and North-South FDI.
UCC's participation in the Vi will be coordinated by Mr. Obeng, who holds a PhD in economics and is responsible for courses on international trade theory and policy, and international finance and open-economy macroeconomics. His research includes work on the impact of trade and financial liberalization on tariff revenue, output, foreign borrowing, income distribution and poverty.
A team of Mr. Obeng's colleagues will also participate in the university's cooperation with the Virtual Institute, namely:
The department will allocate staff time and expertise to the cooperation with the Vi and its members, dedicate library space to the publications provided by the Vi, create a link to the Vi on its website, and publicize Vi activities.
UCC is interested in strengthening its teaching and research on trade and development issues, and in undertaking policy-oriented research. In addition, the department wishes to run courses for participants from the subregion, and to collaborate with universities in the subregion in the area of research. The department's medium-term objective is to acquire school status, and to build a School of Economics at the university.

Submission + - Why freeloaders are essential to FOSS project success (outercurve.org)
dp619 writes: Outercurve Foundation technical director Stephen Walli has written a blog post arguing that attracting users is fundamental to the ability of open source projects to recruit "new blood" and contributors who are willing to code. "So in the end, it's all about freeloaders, but from the perspective that you want as many as possible. That means you're "doing it right" in developing a broad base of users by making their experience easy, making it easy for them to contribute, and ultimately to create an ecosystem that continues to sustain itself," he wrote.

I just shot him to stop him, not to kill'
Homewood woman's always armed on her morning walks
Wednesday, October 16, 2002
By Lori Shontz, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
If it were possible, Charmaine Dunbar said, she would protect herself with her fists. She would fight. But she sometimes hears gunshots as she relaxes in her Homewood home, and she knows that her fists can't stop a bullet.
That's why she is licensed to carry a gun.
"Why should I get hurt if I've got something on the side of me?" Dunbar asked yesterday afternoon, five days after she shot a man after he threatened her with a rifle. The man turned out to be Charles Wesley, who police say is responsible for a recent string of sexual assaults in the East End.
She bought a .38-caliber handgun and took a certification class five years ago because she needed it for a job. Now a security guard at the University of Pittsburgh, she no longer carries a gun at work. But she was recertified five weeks ago in part because she believed that the gun could prove valuable.
Police say Wesley may have intended for Dunbar, 42, to be his seventh victim. The six women he's charged with assaulting tried everything to keep their attacker at bay. One told him she had recently given birth and had stitches. Another pretended to pass out. When that didn't work, she told him she was menstruating. Another screamed, a fourth struggled.
At 3:45 a.m. Thursday, as she went for her daily early morning walk through Homewood, Dunbar encountered a man who pointed a .22-caliber rifle at her, but never fired. She reported the incident to the police and then decided to go back out and finish her walk.
"I just figured, 'Why not start out again?' " Dunbar said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would see that man again."
Incredibly enough, she did. This time when he pointed the rifle at her, from maybe 20 feet away at about 5:35 a.m., Dunbar pulled out her gun and shot Wesley twice in the abdomen.
"I just shot him to stop him," she said, "not to kill."
Dunbar never considered that the man could be the rapist for whom police were searching.
Police affidavits lay out in graphic detail each of the half-dozen assaults.
The attacker didn't merely sneak up on women and teen-age girls and grab them around the neck before sexually assaulting them. He choked one into unconsciousness, hit another with his hands, and threatened to hunt down and kill several if they breathed a word to police.
According to a police affidavit, he told one victim, "I'll chase you down and put 17 in your head," referring to a full clip of a semiautomatic handgun.
The documents say Wesley, 25, raped a 14-year-old girl and then stole $2 from her back pocket before sending her on her way to school.
He told her if she called police, he would "go on the run, find her and then kill her by shooting her," the affidavit said.
The woman who stopped him had lived an unassuming life.
She spent three years on active duty in the Army starting in 1980, and learned to fire an M-16. She didn't get a permit to carry her own gun, however, until 1997, when she took a job with Allied Security. Through that agency, she worked on a government job where she was required to provide her own gun.
Dunbar, who is married, the mother of three and the grandmother of one, said she rarely practices shooting. In the past year, she said, she had fired the gun probably twice, once when visiting relatives in Alabama, a second time on Sept. 14 when she took a recertification course, as required by law.
Ever since she has owned the handgun, she has kept it in her bedroom while she sleeps in case someone breaks in. She also carries it in her car when she goes out at night and in a holster on her right hip -- and under her baggy clothes -- when she exercises.
She is determined and disciplined, however, as evidenced by her exercise routine. Since January, she has walked for two hours every day. (And has lost 45 pounds in the process.) Because she finds it difficult to make herself exercise after returning from work, she decided to get her walk out of the way first thing every morning before she starts work at 7 a.m.
She sets out her clothes before going to sleep, wakes up at 3:15 a.m. and is out the door with her dog, a Jack Russell terrier, beagle mix named Jagger, precisely at 3:30.
"I see all kinds of stuff when I'm out that early in the morning," she said. "You'd be surprised. But as long as they don't bother me, I won't bother them."
Dunbar had never even reached for her gun until six days ago.
"He looked like a monster," she said of the man who leveled off a rifle and aimed right at her. "He didn't seem human."
Dunbar scooped up her dog with one hand and held her other hand up in warning; she did not reach for her gun. The man said, "Stand there while I shoot you." She tried to reason with him, backed up, and when she felt far enough away started running.
She yelled out for help and someone called the police. An officer took her home and took a report. Then she went back out for her daily walk.
The second time she saw the man, she was walking up Brushton Avenue around 5:35 a.m. She recognized his clothing. "Oh my God," she thought, "It's him."
She walked faster, unobtrusively getting her gun ready, but kept it under her sleeve. When they reached the top of steep Brushton Avenue, he was out of breath and stopped; she continued. She looked behind her once, and she saw him leaning over, pulling his rifle out from his pants.
Knowing she needed to fire before he was able to take aim, she steadied her gun and fired twice at his abdomen. He continued to lean over, apparently unaffected, and Dunbar thought, "Oh my God, my bullets didn't work."
Then he stood up, yelled, and fell over. Dunbar ran to her parents' house and returned to the scene with her father. They waited until the police came because she didn't want him to get away.
Wesley has a criminal record in Allegheny County, but nothing to suggest he would evolve into a rapist and stalker, as police have charged.
In the most recent of the four cases on file, Wesley pleaded guilty to theft, receiving stolen property, possession of instruments of a crime, fleeing, reckless driving and numerous vehicle code infractions.
He was sentenced in Oct. 2001 to five months in the Allegheny County Jail and 18 months of probation.

An evil firearm stops a woman from a violent sexual assault... possibly death.
I'm sure the criminal liberal media will run with this story...
Just noticed the date. It still applies regardless...

This is from 2002 LMAO
For every story like this you could post one about a dad shooting and killing a family member that he thought was an intruder.
I don't know where I stand exactly on the fire arm issue, but threads like this are silly.
If people want to debate what an assault rifle is or if they should be legal they can do so all they like. There is not one shred of evidence or common sense logic that says any such ban would have any effect at all on gun deaths or mass shooting deaths. Still like with most things congress and politicians will use the issue and debate it ad nauseum. We have page after page here on the topic from both sides. Still not a single point by anyone as to how these bans would actually reduce violent gun crimes. I can point to thousands of situations where people used their legally owned firearms to prevent a crime or assault. The opposing side can point to thousands of instances of gun accidents or situations where crimes were committed with legally owned weapons. The back and forth gets you no where.
If we accept that the SCOTUS has already decided that gun ownership is a right granted in the constitution then wouldn't it be wiser to look at incidents of mass shootings, look for a common denominator (mental illness) and seek out a solution that may actually prevent the net one from happening (better care and diagnosis)
And now, some hypocrisy from intellectual heavyweights....
Gotta post this pic for the hotness factor..
I'd bet she could kick the ass of most libs on this forum...

Despite fearing the worst initially, the Cardiff Quins back row pushed herself to the limit to force her way back into today's starting line-up which boasts five changes to the side which beat Italy last week.
"My foot got caught with the studs and I somehow pivoted over my ankle," she recalled. "When I heard a 'pop' I feared the worst and thought I had broken something. I couldn't feel my toes and I immediately thought that was the end of my Six Nations."
The Urdd Sports Project Officer actually tore her ligaments and set herself the target of making the clash against Italy but she ran out of time.
"I was told that four weeks was really pushing it - but not impossible. I was so determined to play against Italy that every hour I would ice the ankle. I also went through the rehab and had to wear a moonboot.
"I was really disappointed not to make the game against Italy as I thought I was in my best form. I was at Parc y Scarlets watching the Under 18s instead. Afterwards I was in Starbucks and yelled with delight when I heard we had won as I was following the score updates on twitter.
"I knew how important it was to win and it was sheer relief when news came through. The way things have turned out this season, we have to make sure we win well against Scotland to give ourselves a chance of an automatic slot for next year's World Cup."
With two rounds of the Women's Six Nations to go, the race for automatic qualification places for the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2014 adds further spice to this year's Women's Championship.
Under the agreed format, with England and France having qualified automatically, the best next two Six Nations teams in the combined tables from the 2012 and 2013 Championships will automatically qualify for WRWC 2014.
Ireland have already booked their place in the Finals, with the remaining automatic place a straight dogfight between Italy and Wales.

Where's the "truth" in hating on "Hipster Christians"?
It's been cool for a while now in the general culture to make fun of being cool, to look down on hipsters as dirty, tattooed, skinny-jean and Ray-Ban donning elitists with esoteric taste in film and music. (I was handed my first Hipster Bingo card in 2003.) By virtue of not being a hipster and dismissing them as all style and no substance, you become a better person, not concerned with fashion trends and new music, and certainly not one to be found in trendy coffee shops. By not being cool, relevant, and up on your pop culture, you actually are cool, relevant, and up on your pop culture. It's a meta madness, I say.
Nothing says "I'm an elitist whose afraid I'm meaningless and uncool" like making fun of people's fashion choices, and unfortunately, this phenomenon of proving how much better you are by poo pooing another's style has become a hot discussion in Christian circles as well.
Writing about Brett McCracken's book Hipster Christianity, Charles Colson demonizes the kind of pastor who can be found "sporting a faux hawk, tight t-shirt, and skinny jeans," effectively dismissing the flock who follows said pastor as a group who (although "well-meaning") would rather be hip than meaningful:
Every generation has sought what is real, what is true, and what has ultimate meaning. While these "hipster Christian" leaders may be well-meaning, and may see temporary success in attracting the young, McCracken says that "When it comes to church, we don't want COOL as much as we want REAL." And, he adds, in a world that is "utterly phony, ephemeral, narcissistic, image-obsessed and sex-drenched, "we want a good alternative."
Things that make you "cool" but not "real" according to Colson? Using the word "sex" in a URL and having a blog in which you're emotionally naked. "To be hip, after all," he says, "is to be shocking."
Maybe I'm just jaded and desensitized by our "utterly phony, ephemeral, narcissistic, image-obsessed and sex-drenched" world (sarcasm intended here), but I'm concerned that McCracken and Colson are pretty off base. While I'm more interested in listening to indie rock on my iPhone than in a worship service, I don't think the treatment they're giving to "hipster Christians" is fair or right.
First, my understanding of evangelical subculture is that there is a tradition of creating a parallel culture to the general culture. Granted, my experience with non-mainline Christianity is limited, but in listening to conversations between my husband and his fellow Wheaton College alumni, I've become privy to this parallel culture that permeated their collective upbringing. From them I've learned that about how Christian labels marketed their artists: "If you like [insert name of band making it big in the general culture], you'll love [insert name of Christian band]!" Essentially, you could enjoy rock and roll as long as it had an explicitly Christian message. The same went for television, film, and books.
The same thing seems to be happening with "hipster Christians." While McCracken and others too important to be bothered with being cool think that this sub sub-culture is an attempt to "rebrand Christianity as hip, countercultural, relevant," what they're totally blind to is that hipsterism is much more mainstream now. Celebrities don Ray Bans, Arcade Fire had a No. 1 album, and Pitchfork Music Festival, a hipster Mecca, was attended by 54,000 this year (to say nothing of the increase in attendance of other major gatherings of people with passionate tastes in music and film such as South by Southwest and CMJ). It only makes sense, given the trend of evangelical subculture, that there now be tattooed Christians with a taste for fair trade coffee (as well as Christians who make fun of their hipster brothers and sisters--they just do it with a meanness that's unprecedented in the popular culture).
Secondly, it's not fair to say that hipsters are sacrificing meaning (dubbed "truth" and "authenticity") for coolness. Just look at Relevant Magazine's top three stories on their home page this morning: a piece by N.T. Wright on the importance of character, corruption in Russia, and a run-down on fall TV premiere week. (UPDATE: the N.T. Write article was replaced by one on a young man using Twitter to raise money for Haiti relief.) It doesn't look to me like Relevant, a magazine that's got style for miles and miles, is sacrificing meaning for coolness. Rather, the style is mixed with a sense of mission: to engage in the world and both find and give meaning to it.
I'm sure Colson who says, "...I've found in my own experiences that young people, when it's explained to them well, are far more impressed with authenticity and the truth," would disagree with me though. (Emphasis mine.)
See, I just can't buy into this notion that as long as you explain authenticity and truth well, young adults will be transformed. It's been my experience that encounters with "truth" and "authenticity" have been very visceral, needing no explanation at all, such as the beauty of meeting the newborn daughter of two of my dearest friends or knowing the sheer injustice of homelessness and hunger. I'm afraid that attitudes like Colson's are why young people are leaving the church in droves. Sure, there's a small (very vocal) minority who ascribe to this idea that if you just understood, then you'd believe (thus equating faith with some kind of intellectual affirmation). But the vast majority of young adults are having a hard time finding much that inspires them in the Catholic Church these days, particularly in the way "authenticity" and "truth" have been handled by leadership in this church.

If you were driving on Plumb Lane Saturday, you probably noticed
dozens of teenagers waving "car wash" signs.
It wasn't for just any car wash. These teens are taking part in a nine-week boot camp called "Project Walk About" that's sponsored by the Nevada National Guard and the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
The teens traveled from all over the Silver State. Some were ordered by the court to attended boot camp others just wanted to get their lives back on the right track.
The car wash is one on the many activities the at-risk youth experience while attending boot camp.
While the teens seem like any other kids . . . they're not.
Each has a different story.
"I was just a devil. I was a bad kid and I always had a bad attitude and my life almost went downhill," said stident Jackie Mulhall.
Jackie says she was making bad decisions in her life and started
doing drugs . . . so she decided with support from her family to sign up for Project Walk About - and now it's changing her life.
"I'm going to communicate with my family better and it will help with my future goals," she said.
Her new attitude is similar to that of fellow boot-camper Mike
Orleck, who said: "I think this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. So I'll definitely be able to make a better person of myself."
Mike was ordered by probation officers to attend the program after
he got in trouble for vandalism and graffiti. But, he says, he the past few weeks have shown him a lot about himself.
"I'm not a quitter. I can really achieve. I feel a lot better as a person," Mike said.
Training Instructors say tough love is the only way teach these
kids discipline and self-esteem. They hope the kids will take everything they learn here and apply it to the rest of their lives.
The group of teens have only three more weeks until they graduate.
The boot campt costs each student $200 to attend, which includes housing and food.

Chevrolet Volt
Technically, the nice-handling Volt is the first plug-in hybrid to reach the mass market. It is a well-equipped four-door hatchback with an all-electric range of 25 to 50 miles per charge depending on weather and driving habits. When the battery runs out of juice, a four-cylinder gasoline engine kicks in, generating electricity to power the Volt an additional 300 miles. The price starts at $41,000. The Volt qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit but not the $2,500 California rebate, and it doesn't qualify for carpool lane permits. Chevrolet said changes to the car — expected midway through the 2012 model year — should make it eligible for such incentives. The Volt has earned a "top safety pick" designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

As many of you know my dear Abbey was diagnosed--I knew it already though-on thursday. She started her meds of gabapentin 50 mg/ml and omeprazole friday night since she stayed the night there and we had consult and brought her back home on friday. Friday night was bad--she was very uncomfortable the whole night with scratching, licking etc. Last night she did better. I noticed last night before we went to bed that the drugs must have been starting to get into her bloodstream as she looked drugged. Also, George had called yesterday to Auburn, AL where we took her and said no change and they said to give it until monday as it took awhile to see any change. She had her first dose of medicine for today at 5 a.m. and I took her back to bed with us and she did go back to sleep--didn't seem like it took that long for the medicine to start working. So far this morning she's not scratching and rubbing head and licking paws like she does. Before the diagnosis it was sooo bad--not continuous but ALOT. I know they sometimes change the meds etc. or dosage etc. Should Abbey be appearing to be drugged? Is it a sign that her dosage needs to be lowered. I think I'd take the drug look anyday over the scratching, licking etc. although I sure don't want a drugged dog.
She is on:
gabapentin 50 mg/ml 1 1/2 ml 3 every 8 hours (3 x day)
omeprazone 5 mg--once daily
The gabapentin they gave us is liquid form which I have done a search on the net and its impossible to find--only have found one place. I think they gave us liquid maybe to find out the correct dosage.
We are also almost 100% sure we are doing the surgery. I know of the pain etc. but both my husband and I feel we don't have much choice. Its progressive--so far her motor skills aren't effected. Only a matter of time. I know there are no guarantees but we have to try. We did take her to Auburn U where Dr. Axlund did the study a couple years ago so we feel we're getting very very good care and with people very knowledgeable about this. With any surgery there is pain. I've watched videos and have had one phone conversation with a person on here that did have the surgery for their dog.
I'm probably rambling right now but its been a rough week.

Hoping not taking the stand in his own defense was a good idea. Hoping the jury would see things his way. Hoping to stay out of prison.
That�s a lot of hopes.
In day one (and only) of the defense case Thursday, Ballarotto called three witnesses, and the whole thing took less than two hours. The witnesses were former FBI Special Agent William Monks (who handled Marliese Ljuba before his retirement); Bill Guhl, a longtime municipal business and finance expert (who worked with Bencivengo for six months in 2008); and Deanna Nelson, a friend.
The main points Ballarotto tried to make with each witness were clear: With Monks, to try and show Ljuba only committed to calling the money given to Bencivengo a bribe after she agreed to work with the feds; with Guhl, to try and show Bencivengo had no legal authority over the Hamilton Board of Education, so accepting a �bribe� from Ljuba to influence them would be pointless; and with Nelson, to show Ljuba was a dear friend of the mayor and wouldn�t be offering bribes, just a friend helping a friend.
Did the jury buy it?
I don�t know. While I love imagining myself as a body language expert/armchair psycholgist (and handsome and modest, to boot), I was having a tough time discerning the jurors� take on all this.
And I think the jury might be having an equally tough time discerning their own take on the case. Was the money given to Bencivengo a bribe? A loan? Something else? Both? I don�t think anyone really knows, not the jury, not Bencivengo, not Ljuba.
The web here � as evidenced by the parade of names that have popped out at trial � is a tangled weave. Ljuba had been working as the insurance broker for the Hamilton School District since 1996. Her dealings with Bencivengo � whatever they were � were not her first time at the dance.
In my armchair psychologist role, I�d bet Bencivengo believes that whatever he did, legal or illegal, wasn�t done with malicious intent. Does intent matter here? Should it? Will the jury take any of this into consideration?
Monday we may just find out. I predict a speedy deliberation, one way or another.
A few other notes �
Ballarotto was wearing North American crocodile boots. I know because I asked. They were hard to miss ...
Doesn�t matter what trial I�ve ever been to, I always feel lousy for the mother of the defendant. Bencivengo�s mother was there, silently watching the proceedings, seated next to her daughter. As a parent myself, I�d do anything to keep my kid safe. I don�t care if we�re talking about a toddler or a 58-year-old mayor, no one wants to see their kid in trouble �
Our reporter Sherrina V. Navani nailed it in her piece yesterday about the �side battle� between Ballarotto and Judge Anne Thompson. Sitcoms have been built on less. These two have quite the repartee going �
Lastly � and this is based on what�s come out at the trial and in conversations with others � I have to think this trial will not mark the end of the saga. We may be reading about the fallout here for a long time.

Keith Wagner is in his fourth season as the Aggies offensive line coach.
In three seasons, Wagner has built an offensive line that has cleared the path for the MEAC leading rusher in two out of the last three years. In the one season the Aggies did not have the leading rusher under Wagner's offensive line was in 2012 when Aggies running back Mike Mayhew finished fourth in the conference in rushing and as a team they finished third.
A&T quarterbacks have also been able to stay upright. In 795 pass attempts, A&T quarterbacks have only been sacked seven percent of the time. This resulted in the Aggies producing the program's first ever 2,000 yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver in a single season (2011).
Four different players – running backs Mike Mayhew, Ricky Lewis, Dominique Drake and quarterback Kwashaun Quick – all had more than 40 carries and averaged more than 4.0 yards per carry in 2012. The Aggies scored 23 rushing touchdowns in 2012, third best in the MEAC, and the team was third in the conference rushing yards per game (169.2). Running backs Tarik Cohen, Mayhew, Lewis and Drake have all had career years in rushing yardage running behind Wagner's offensive line. In 2013, Cohen became the first Aggie freshman to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season behind the Aggies' big men.
Left tackle William Ray Robinson III has been a preseason All-American and is a two-time all-conference performer. Right tackle Nathan Isles signed a free agent contract with the Seattle Seahawks.
Before coming to A&T, Wagner spent one season as Rod Broadway's offensive line coach at Grambling. During his one season at Grambling, the Tigers offensive linemen made life comfortable for the quarterback. The Tigers only surrendered 1.91 sacks per game, the second fewest in the SWAC. The Tigers also had the second-best rushing offense in the SWAC, and running back Frank Warren rushed for 139.7 yards per game.
Prior to his stint at Grambling, Wagner was an assistant coach at Winston-Salem State, where he served as the Rams running back and strength and conditioning coach. In 2009, Wagner returned to Abilene Christian where he spent a portion of his collegiate career to coach running backs and serve as the team's special teams.
Wagner has also been an assistant coach on the high school level. In 2006, he started a three-year stint as the defensive coordinator at Mary Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. There, special teams coordinator responsibilities were added to his duties along with defensive line and linebacker coach responsibilities.
Wagner's other coaching stops include the University of Central Arkansas, Trinity Valley Community College, A&T, Midwestern State and Ranger College. Wagner was A&T's running game coordinator, offensive line and strength and condition coach from 2001-02 under then head coach Bill Hayes. During his first coaching stint in Aggieland, Wagner coached two future NFL offensive linemen in Qasim Mitchell and Junius Coston. In 2001, that impressive line led the Aggies to the best scoring offense in the MEAC.
As a player, Wagner started his college football career at Texas Christian University. He spent three seasons with the Horned Frogs before transferring to Abilene Christian. During his only season at ACU in 1994, he earned second-team All-American honors along with first-team All-Lone Star Conference accolades as an offensive tackle. After leaving ACU, Wagner was invited to the Dallas Cowboys training camp.
He also spent time with the New York Giants (1995) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (1997). His professional football exploits also took him to NFL Europe, where his Scottish Claymores won the World Bowl in 1996. In 1998, his Rhein Fire was NFL Europe's runner-up.
Wagner earned a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science degree at Midwestern University in 2000.

What is the Derrick Favors Pose?
May 30, 2012
Top and middle: Favors in high school
Bottom: Favors as a rookie with the New Jersey Nets
All those years of posing for portraits has paid off. Using the knowledge gained from his time in front of the camera, Derrick Favors will be dominating for the Utah Jazz for years to come. As we watch him unleash those elbows on unsuspecting opponents, let's remember to thank the photographers that made him pose from all those different angles. After all, without all those different angles, he wouldn't have gained the range of motion that allows him to swing those elbows in a way that would make Karl Malone proud.

The Workshop and Policy Dialogue seek to enhance the dialogue between developing and developed countries on market-access issues related to technical barriers to trade (TBT) and expand the knowledge base that can feed into policy and technical discussions in the WTO and other fora in the field. It will bring together policymakers, regulators and officials from standards organizations, along with experts from other international organisations, the private sector, academia and other non-governmental groups.
Participants will share their experiences with technical regulations, standards and conformity procedures and exchange views on the nature and extent of market-access problems arising from these measures as well as possible solutions and orientations for good practice.
This event is hosted by the German Government represented by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour (BMWA). Participation is by invitation only.

More On Deserving To Get Paid
from the vs-infringement dept
- There's the issue of whether or not Joel Tenenbaum had the right to download or share the songs that he did. On that we absolutely agree that he broke the law. No questions at all.
- There's a separate issue of whether or not the RIAA "deserves to get paid" for its music.
I recognize that it's difficult to separate out these two issues, but it's important. If you understand that these are two separate issues, then you recognize that this is a business model issue, not a legal one. If you recognize that these are two separate issues, then you recognize that it's not about "deserving to get paid" and there's no "we had no choice but to sue." Instead, you recognize that the issue is that the labels have failed to put in place a business model, and their response has been to fight the wrong thing. It's to legally go after the people who wish the labels had put in place a better business model, rather than actually putting in place a better business model.

No students were harmed Thursday afternoon when a stray bullet cracked a window of a second-grade classroom at Resica Elementary School.
No students were harmed Thursday afternoon when a stray bullet cracked a window of a second-grade classroom at Resica Elementary School.
When police arrived at the school on Gravel Ridge Road in Middle Smithfield Township, they located four men nearby who were target practicing with handguns and rifles.
The four, ages 18 to 21, were shooting at targets fastened to trees about a half-mile from the school, according to State Police Lt. Robert Bartal with Troop N in Hazleton.
Their names have not been released because they have not been charged.
The second-grade teacher acted quickly when the bullet hit the window of her classroom at 12:20 p.m. She told the children to get down by the lockers away from the window.
The teacher, whose name was not released by the school, quickly grabbed the phone in her classroom, located away from the window, and called principal Gail Kulick, who notified school security, who in turn notified police.
"The teacher said the bullet came from the woods," said Luke Tompkins, one of the 20 students in the classroom. "It was a loud bang."
The school was in lockdown, and safety protocols were followed. Superintendent Sharon Laverdure said the students in the classroom were startled and were moved to another area.
State police arrived in under seven minutes, Bartal said.
The bullet did not pass through the window into the classroom, police said. They discovered that the round had struck the window, traveled through the first pane of the double-pane window and fell onto the outside sill, landing between the second pane and the outside screen, police said.
Police, who could still hear the target shooting in the distance, located the men and interviewed them.
By 1:30 p.m., police determined the school was not targeted for any criminal purpose and the area was declared safe. The school lifted the lockdown.
Kulick personally called all the parents of the students who were in that classroom. The rest of the school's parents were notified through the school's automated calling system.
On a normal day, 591 students attend Resica. On Thursday afternoon, 115 students were signed out by their parents.
Deborah Tompkins was one of the parents who came for her son Luke. "I don't understand why they would be target practicing near the school," she said.
William Rose, who has a son in kindergarten in the school, expressed the same thought. "I'm not anti-gun," he said, "but how can somebody be shooting bullets so close to the school?"
The district is hosting a question-and-answer session for the community at 3:45 p.m. today. Rose was disappointed that the meeting wasn't Thursday.
Kulick said, "I'm just very happy we have the staff who know what to do. (The teacher) followed procedures to a 'T.'''
Another parent, Michelle Ledrew, questioned that. "They had no plan whatsoever. They were totally unprepared for this," she said.
Laverdure said some parents picking up children were confused because they entered the school through a different door. Parents were taken to a multi-purpose room, and a staff member brought their child to them.
She wants to hear feedback from parents. "We're taking this very seriously," Laverdure said.
The Monroe County District Attorney's Office is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact the state police at Swiftwater at 570-839-7701.

Lydia Marie Ryan (nee Hynes)
Date de décès : 20 février 2013
June 25, 1939 – February 20, 2013
She held our tiny, fragile hands when we first entered this world, and we, her two daughters, along with her baby sister, held her gentle, loving hands as she left. Our Mom raised us to be compassionate, gentle, optimistic, confident, courageous women. We have respect, faith, enthusiasm, tolerance, and strength because of our role model, Mom, who truly 'lived' her life to the fullest. Her zest for life, and all of its adventures, made those fortunate enough to spend time with her yearn to do more, see more, and experience more. She made life an adventure, which she willingly shared with those who could keep up with her. To her family, she was the epitome of pure, unconditional love. She was lovingly and gently taken to Heaven by the angels who passed before her: her father and mother Edward and Bridget Hynes, her brother and sister-in-law John Will and Angie, her mother and father-in-law, Mary Ann and William Ryan; and her son-in-law, Kenneth Hickey. She leaves beautiful memories for her heartbroken family: husband John; daughters: Darlene (Jean-Claude Derible) and Rolanda; grandchildren: Chantelle (David Keen), Declan, and Andrew; great-grandchildren, Riley and Noah; sister and companion adventure-seeker, Sharon; brothers: Edward (Marg), Reg (Mary), and Hughie (Anna); Uncle, Willie Hynes; best friend, Margaret Coffey; and attentive friends and care-givers, Berkley Reynolds, George Ebsary, and Andrew Williams. Mom will be dearly missed by this circle of love, as well as a much larger circle of extended family and friends both in NL and in other parts of North America. While we weep for our loss, the mere mention of her name will forever bring a smile to every person she ever encountered on her journey through life. She was truly 'Beautiful'. To share memories of her life, you may visit Caul's Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road, on Saturday, February 23rd or Sunday, February 24th, from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Funeral to be held at St. Patrick's Church, Patrick Street, at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, February 25th. Flowers graciously accepted or donations may be made in her honor to the Lung Association.
Mom, we will love you and miss you forever. Until you come to take our hands once again, to bring us home with you, you will live on in a sacred place in our hearts. With all our sincere gratitude for all you have given us, we say, Thank-You. Darlene and Rolanda.

|Packets are delivered out the many hooks in sequential order. Each packet goes out on a different many hook.
|Packets are delivered out all the many hooks. Each packet goes out each many hook.
|Packets are delivered out the first active many hook.
In the future other algorithms may be added as well.
The node distinguishes between active and failed links. Data is sent only to active links. The following link failure detection algorithms are available:
NG_ONE2MANY_FAIL_MANUAL The node is explicitly told which of the links are up via the NGM_ONE2MANY_SET_CONFIG control message (see below). Newly connected links are down until configured otherwise. NG_ONE2MANY_FAIL_NOTIFY The node listens to flow control message from many hooks, and considers link failed if NGM_LINK_IS_DOWN is received. If the NGM_LINK_IS_UP message is received, node considers link active.
In the future other algorithms may be added as well.
When all links are considered failed, node sends the NGM_LINK_IS_DOWN message towards the one hook. When at least one link comes up, node sends the NGM_LINK_IS_UP message towards the one hook.
This node type supports up to NG_ONE2MANY_MAX_LINKS hooks named many0, many1, etc., plus a single hook named one.
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
NGM_ONE2MANY_SET_CONFIG(setconfig) Sets the node configuration using a struct ng_one2many_link_config as the control message argument:/* Node configuration structure */ struct ng_one2many_config { uint32_t xmitAlg; /* how to distribute packets */ uint32_t failAlg; /* how to detect link failure */ u_char enabledLinks[NG_ONE2MANY_MAX_LINKS]; };
Currently, the valid settings for the xmitAlg field are NG_ONE2MANY_XMIT_ROUNDROBIN (default) or NG_ONE2MANY_XMIT_ALL. The valid settings for failAlg are NG_ONE2MANY_FAIL_MANUAL (default) or NG_ONE2MANY_FAIL_NOTIFY.
NGM_ONE2MANY_GET_CONFIG(getconfig) Returns the current node configuration in a struct ng_one2many_link_config. NGM_ONE2MANY_GET_STATS(getstats) This command takes a 32 bit link number as an argument and returns a struct ng_one2many_link_stats containing statistics for the corresponding many link, which may or may not be currently connected:/* Statistics structure (one for each link) */ struct ng_one2many_link_stats { uint64_t recvOctets; /* total octets recd on link */ uint64_t recvPackets; /* total pkts recd on link */ uint64_t xmitOctets; /* total octets xmitd on link */ uint64_t xmitPackets; /* total pkts xmitd on link */ uint64_t memoryFailures; /* times couldnt get mem or mbuf */ };
To access statistics for the one link, use the link number -1.
NGM_ONE2MANY_CLR_STATS(clrstats) This command takes a 32 bit link number as an argument and clears the statistics for that link. NGM_ONE2MANY_GETCLR_STATS(getclrstats) Same as NGM_ONE2MANY_GET_STATS, but also atomically clears the statistics for the link as well.
This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
The following commands will set up Ethernet interfaces fxp0 to deliver packets alternating over the physical interfaces corresponding to networking interfaces fxp0 through fxp3:# Plumb nodes together
ngctl mkpeer fxp0: one2many upper one ngctl connect fxp0: fxp0:upper lower many0 ngctl connect fxp1: fxp0:upper lower many1 ngctl connect fxp2: fxp0:upper lower many2 ngctl connect fxp3: fxp0:upper lower many3
# Allow fxp1 through fxp3 to xmit/recv fxp0 frames
ngctl msg fxp1: setpromisc 1 ngctl msg fxp2: setpromisc 1 ngctl msg fxp3: setpromisc 1 ngctl msg fxp1: setautosrc 0 ngctl msg fxp2: setautosrc 0 ngctl msg fxp3: setautosrc 0
# Configure all four links as up
ngctl msg fxp0:upper \ setconfig "{ xmitAlg=1 failAlg=1 enabledLinks=[ 1 1 1 1 ] }"
# Bring up interface
ifconfig fxp0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xfffffffc
With a similar setup on a peer machine (using the address 192.168.1.2), a point-to-point Ethernet connection with four times normal bandwidth is achieved.
netgraph(4), ng_bridge(4), ng_ether(4), ng_hub(4), ifconfig(8), ngctl(8)
The ng_one2many node type was implemented in
.Fx 4.2 .
.An -nosplit The one2many netgraph node (with round-robin algorithm) was written by
.An Archie Cobbs <email@example.com>. The all algorithm was added by
.An Rogier R. Mulhuijzen <email@example.com>.
More transmit and link failure algorithms should be supported. A good candidate is Ciscos Etherchannel.

Still trying to figure out what is wrong with Mooby. She does have SM. I don't know if her current symptoms are from the SM getting worse.
Yesterday she was playing around 3pm (great news she felt better) by 4pm she was trembling and didnt want to move. She was just sitting up, but didnt seem like she could lay down. We gave her tramadol at 4:05 and she sat up for an hour before she laid down and slept. We hand fed her around 8pm. She ate. At 10pm we carried her out to the bathroom she went on her own and we carried her back in.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

The first time I came across Asters Yellows Disease, I was living in St. Louis and it caught me off guard. "What is wrong with the purple coneflowers?" I thought, as I examined the seemingly healthy plant with strange, green deformed flowers.
The first time I came across Asters Yellows Disease, I was living in St. Louis and it caught me off guard. "What is wrong with the purple coneflowers?" I thought, as I examined the seemingly healthy plant with strange, green deformed flowers.
Thinking it was simply a genetic mutation; I trimmed off the ugly stalk and hoped it would grow out of the deformity. To my dismay, it appeared upon re-flowering; eventually spreading to other once healthy coneflowers in different locations throughout the yard.
Every year I look for and destroy any diseased plant I come across, yet it still shows up on at least one plant in the gardens a year.
Asters Yellows Disease affects some of the best cultivated and native plants of the Midwest including Echinacea, and Rudebeckia; the later a genus exclusive to North America.
Rudebeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldstrum' commonly called Black-Eyed-Susans, is one of the most popular perennial plants planted in perennial sun gardens.
Asters Yellows Disease is very common throughout the Midwest; in the native habitat of these beautiful herbaceous plants, which are pollinator magnets in late spring and summer.
Asters Yellows Phytoplasma, is a bacterium without a cell wall and develops in the phloem of plants. Typical symptoms include witches brooms: abnormal groups of deformed branches or growth.
The disease symptoms differ depending on the plant host, often causing yellowing of foliage and deformity of normal growth.
How does it spread?
This disease is often carried to Missouri by migrating leaf hoppers from the southern states. Asters Yellows Disease is vectored, or carried by leaf hoppers from one infected plant to another, often making this disease hard to eradicate from a garden location.
Compounding the problem is that once picked up by the leaf hopper, it is essentially vectored to susceptible plants not once but continuously, as it feeds on the sap of plant hosts; rapidly spreading the disease.
Not only can strains of this phytoplasma infect cultivated plants such as coneflowers and zinnias, it can also target and reduce production of many more plant families including common vegetables like carrots, lettuce and broccoli.
Like I mentioned weeks ago to prevent squash bug damage, experts endorse tightly covering vegetable plants with floating row covers can limit leaf hoppers, and therefore the disease pressure on crops.
There is no cure for Asters Yellows Disease, and like plant viral diseases, it is recommended to dig out and destroy infected plants as soon as the disease symptoms occur. For home gardens, this is the easiest and most useful control method.
The Missouri Botanical Garden recommends removing weed hosts the disease can infect and overwinter or nearby, to help limit disease pressure.
Since this disease is more prevalent in cool, wet weather, keep an eye out for this common garden disease this spring and summer.
Remember that monitoring, preventative measures and quick action to remove infected plants, is the best way to stop any disease from overtaking your garden.

Admin, 2 questions for ya....
#1, since everyone seems to use the game day forum almost as a chat room, wanting to skim through topics quickly, rather than read the whole board, through a thread, is there anything available through the software that you use for the board to do this? For that matter, does anyone else know a free chat that we'd all be able to use during game peak times?
#2, what's the deal with the chinese (?) lettering in some of the ads at the tops of pages that go to some random google search thing? Probably a random load thing that you have no control or say over. Just curious if anyone knows what it's supposed to be.
Thank ya!
