Mldonkey - multi-network file-sharing client
Originally by marge and frontalot from linkstationwiki.org
- 1 Background
- 2 Installation
- 2.1 Using pre-compiled binaries (release tarball)
- 2.2 FreeLink
- 2.3 OpenLink
- 2.4 Compile from Source
- 3 Additional Info
- 4 References
MLDonkey[1] is an open source, free software multi-network peer-to-peer application that supports the BitTorrent protocol[2] . It is also the name of the peer-to-peer overlay network that application uses. Originally a Linux client for the eDonkey protocol[3] MLdonkey is written in the Ocaml programming language and licensed under the GPL. The application separates the user interface (which can be a web browser, telnet, or a third-party GUI application)[4] and the code that interacts with the peer-to-peer networks[5][6][7].
MLDonkey supports the following network protocols, either partially or completely:
Using pre-compiled binaries (release tarball)
MLdonkey is reported to run well and stable on ARM9 boxes. Only emule sui feature has to be disabled cause mldonkey's implementation needs a real FPU which is not present in SoftARM Linkstations.
Pre-compiled mldonkey cores for ARM architectures are avaiable for download:
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4825 Cores are compiled on Debian Linux.
There are possible issues about DNS resolutions or library version problems (Linkstations have modified version of libc which could cause incompatibility). In order to solve these issues the cores are bundled with the exact shared libraries (zipped in archive) and libc version used to compile the cores.
FIRST SOLUTION(easy)
The Library problem (if arises) has an easy solution, let's put the bundled libraries in a proper directory ("/new_libs_path" in this example) and call mlnet thru next script. For example Georg wrote following three liner scripts:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/new_libs_path:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path_to_mldonkey/mlnet.static
This starts the static linked mlnet after setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable as needed. And the variable is only set for the call of mlnet (the new added libraries are picked first to look for standard ones), thus the remainer of the installation is not affected.It is higly suggested to use a user to only run mldonkey. DNS issue seems to be solved and mldonkey works as it should. You can also try running mlnet by commandline:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/new_libs_path:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./mldonkey_path/mlnet (arguments?)
A more complex solution is to "chroot" mldonkey.This is also a feature suggested to raise system security but this is quite difficult to set. Togeis has wrote a splendid walkthru:
This is a little howto running mldonkey on a opend Stock firmware. I am using 1.11-1.a. All steps are done as root user.
1) Make a new mldonkey User: If /mnt/disk1/home doesn't exist, make it:
mkdir /mnt/disk1/home
Adding user:
useradd -d /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey -m mldonkey
I used a homedir an disk1 to prevent filling up /
2) Getting UID of created user:
grep mldonkey /etc/passwd|cut -d ":" -f3 1000
Now you have the UID you can use for starting mldonkey
3) Setting up chroot: - Make /dev/null and /dev/random
mkdir /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/dev mknod /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/dev/null c 1 3 mknod /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/dev/urandom c 1 9
- Copy Libs: Use the libraries tarfile from fabtar
cp libraries.tar.bz2 /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey cd /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey tar -jxvf libraries.tar.bz2
- Make ./etc
mkdir /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/etc cp /etc/group /etc/hosts/ /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/passwd /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/etc
4) Copy MLDonkey: Started mldonkey before: - You have to copy the existing directory form the old mldonkey directory to the new home directory /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey - Edit your downloads.ini for the new root:
incoming_directory = incoming temp_directory = temp shared_directories = [ shared1; shared2; shared3] run_as_user = ""
Starting with a fresh install: I use the static build with gd support from fabtars tarfile.
cp mldonkey-2.9.0.CVS.static.arm-Linux_glibc-2.3.6.tar.bz2 /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey cd /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey; tar -xjvf mldonkey-2.9.0.CVS.static.arm-Linux_glibc-2.3.6.tar.bz2 mv ./mldonkey-distrib-2.9.0.CVS/* . rm ./mldonkey-distrib-2.9.0.CVS
5) Setting up ownership
chown -R mldonkey:mldonkey /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey chown -R root:root /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/lib /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/etc /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey/dev
mldonkey is the user created at step 1. The user has its own group named the same.
6) Staring mldonkey with chroot Be sure you are root:
id getting --> uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
Setting enviroment:
export MLDONKEY_CHROOT=/home/mldonkey
Starting mldonkey:
cd /mnt/disk1/home/mldonkey ./mlnet -run_as_useruid 1000
1000 is the UID of the user mldonkey you get it in step 2
7) Starting mldonkey with nohup (detach mldonkey from the console)
- Install nohup if it doesn't exist: When you use a opend Stock firmware with wget installed, you don't have nohup, but you can install it by yourself. Get the file coreutils-6.7-r1.tbz2
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSPro_ARM9/Distributions/Genlink/Binaries/armv5tejl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/coreutils-6.7-r1.tbz2 tar -C / -xjvf coreutils-6.7-r1.tbz2 ./usr/bin/nohup
- Starting mldonkey as root
cd ~mldonkdey nohup ./mlnet -run_as_useruid 1000 &
Now you are able to close the terminal and mldonkey keeps on running. Output created by mldonkey is written to ./nohup
NOTES: Mindbender has pointed that overmentioned solutions are inelegant. You may consider to merge the tricks with a smarter way to launch mlnet, a more elegant way is for example this startup script: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0025690/scripts/mldonkey
Someone told me that they had problems because su was missing. in case that is true for the arm9-boxes as well then we can just remove that command and just use the built in mldonkey thing you used. if su is missing replace this line
su - $USER -c"/usr/local/bin/mlnet&"
with either
/usr/local/bin/mlnet -run_as_useruid 1000 &
if you start it automatically at bootup from /etc/init.d/rcS by adding
echo "exec_sh mldonkey" >> /etc/init.d/rcS
then you do not need to install nohup btw. In case you are a script-guru, I suggest to mix the mindbender script/suggestions with the tricks about Library problems.
PowerPC(PPC) and MIPSEL
Over mentioned methods could be also applied on these archiectures please test and report about on software forums.
PowerPC and MIPSEL Precompiled cores are aviable:
PPC: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4834 Mipsel: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4890
PPC cores are reported to work well on to other PPC based NAS ( Synology DS207, tested by ZeusII ), no positive feedback about Linkstation PPC users at the moment.
You may need to use the Unstable (Debian) branch:
- Get access to packages from the Debian unstable branch
- Then install mldonkey by
apt-get install mldonkey-server
PPC and MIPSel
apt-get update # update APT-Repository apt-get install mldonkey-server # install MLDonkey
Upgrading installed apt-get version
NOTE: This method ONLY tested by fcisler on his LSpro. Please provide feedback!!
The version apt-get will install is 2.8.1. I have had problems that after about two weeks or several gigs, it will crash. I have compiled 2.8.3 static (latest at time of writing, 3.15.07), so it should work standalone. For ease of use, and startup scripts - i install is via apt-get, and then upgrade it. After following the procedure above, use this:
#make sure mldonky is stopped /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server stop cd /usr/bin/ mv mlnet mlnet.PKG wget http://www.cisler.net/lspro/mldonkey/mlnet.static mv mlnet.static mlnet #start mldonkey /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start
A ps-ax | grep mlnet should show at least one process running.
Please report success/failure in the forums. - fcisler
compile latest SVN
If you would like to have the latest SVN-Version (better speed etc.) then you should do the following steps. But be careful: Currently the latest SVN-Version is very unstable on the ARM-System. It'll freeze after a few minutes. There's a patch (svn.debian.org [1]) which should fix the problem but i didn't have success, it's still unstable.
cd /mnt/disk1/share/source/ apt-get install ssh cvs patch autoconf gcc g++ libc-dev make zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libgd2-noxpm-dev cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/sources/mldonkey co -P mldonkey cd mldonkey ./configure make cp ./mlnet /root/.mldonkey/
Problems (both ways)
There are problems within the ARM9-Version. After some starts the mlnet-Service will shut down automatically with an errormessage. The Problem is caused by a file called mlnet_strings.EN_ANSI_X3.4-1968. I've found a workaround: You have to delete the file before mlnet starts. Mlnet will create the file as soon as it is started.
I've created a file called run_mldonkey in the mldonkey-dir (/root/.mldonkey/):
#! /bin/sh # cd /root/.mldonkey/ rm /root/.mldonkey/mlnet_strings.EN_ANSI_X3.4-1968 mlnet > /dev/null 2>&1 &
After that i have created a symbolic link within the /etc/rc2.d-Directory to get it automatically started. First tests were successfully, mldonkey seems to run stable
This project aims to offer the latest MLDonkey P2P client and additional utilities precompiled and packaged for the PPC LinkStation. This release is compiled without GUI support. See http://www.nongnu.org/mldonkey/ for more information. You may download the latest version from the downloads area.
- mldonkey-126.96.36.199
- ed2k_hash
- make_torrent
A newer version of mldonkey, MLNet 2.8.1, compiled for a KuroBox Pro (PPC) is available at: http://cisler.net/kuro/mlnet/mlnet-2.8.1.tar.gz
If someone could please host this (bandwidth is limited), contact me on the site - fcisler
Older binaries + packages are available here. But there was feedback that they did no work properly because of the missing libmagic. So you would have to install the development tools which should fix this dependancy.
mkdir /mnt/hda/temp cd /mnt/hda/temp wget http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0025690/mips-binaries/mldonkey_mips-2.7.6.tar.gz tar -xzvf mldonkey_mips-2.7.6.tar.gz ./install.sh
Compile from Source
You can find the latest sources of mldonkey at the mldonkey project at sourceforge. First install the development tools.
- Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS
- Then mldonkey can be compiled by:
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mldonkey/mldonkey-2.8.4.tar.bz2 tar -xjf mldonkey-*.tar.bz2 cd mldonkey-* ./configure --enable-batch --disable-gui make make install
mldonkey version 2.8.4 compiled onto the following way (By HomeBunny - April 2007):
cd /mnt/misc wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mldonkey/mldonkey-2.8.4.tar.bz2 bunzip2 mldonkey-2.8.4.tar.bz2 tar xvf mldonkey-2.8.4.tar cd mldonkey-2.8.4 ./configure --enable-batch --disable-guia make make install WHEN YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM: [[NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE]] ONTO \root\.mldonkey SOLUTION : Move your installation to \mnt\share mkdir /mnt/share/.mldonkey cp -Rdp /root/.mldonkey /mnt/share/.mldonkey rm -R /root/.mldonkey ln - s /mnt/share/.mldonkey /root/.mldonkey DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE Startscript: INSTALLEDPATH=/mnt/share/.mldonkey
you will need a startscript (/etc/init.d/mldonkey) for mldonkey.
#! /bin/sh export USER="root" NAME=mldonkey INSTALLEDPATH=/$USER/.mldonkey start() { su - $USER -c"/usr/local/bin/mlnet&" } stop() { su - $USER -c"kill -15 `cat $INSTALLEDPATH/mlnet.pid`" su - $USER -c"sleep 5" } case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting mldonkey: " start ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping mldonkey " stop ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting mldonkey " stop start ;; force) echo -n "Forcing start of mldonkey " rm $INSTALLEDPATH/config_files_space.tmp rm $INSTALLEDPATH/mlnet.pid start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart|force}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
you can download it directly from here here.
cd /etc/init.d wget http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0025690/scripts/mldonkey chmod 755 mldonkey
Additional Info
mldonkey should be runnable now by executing
/etc/init.d/mldonkey start
I had to add .sh That is what I use:
/etc/init.d/mldonkey.sh start
if you want mldonkey to be started automatically at startup:
ln -s /etc/init.d/mldonkey /etc/rc2.d/S99mldonkey
ln -s /etc/init.d/mldonkey /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99mldonkey

USC gets solid outing from Belcher in loss
In Gainesville, Fla., Florida took advantage of two errors by No. 8 South Carolina to score a pair of unearned runs and earn a 3-2 victory on Thursday night in the first of a three-game SEC series.
USC (27-8, 8-5) got a quality start from Nolan Belcher (5-3), who went the distance and allowed one earned run on seven hits and a walk, striking out two.
Chase Vergason, Connor Bright and Grayson Greiner had two hits apiece for the Gamecocks.
"It was a tough game for us tonight," South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook said. "Belcher pitched his guts out. We didn't help him much defensively but you have to give Florida credit. They put some pressure on us and made some things happen."
LIMESTONE: In Gaffney, the softball team (22-16, 14-4 Conference Carolinas) split a doubleheader with Pfeiffer. The Saints won the first game 4-1 and dropped the second by a score of 3-2. Shelby Webb got the win in Game 1, allowing one run on four hits in seven innings. Erika Hansen had two RBIs.
... Friday's baseball game against Mount Olive has been postponed to 1 p.m. Sunday due to expected inclement weather.
... Women's golfer Kayla Spinks was named to the Conference Carolinas All-Academic team. The men's and women's lacrosse teams had 16 players named All-Academic, while the men's and women's tennis team added four.
WOFFORD: In Mount Pleasant, the men's tennis team (3-13, 1-8 SoCon) lost 5-2 to College of Charleston.
NORTH GREENVILLE: In Tigerville, the softball team (15-18-1) took a doubleheader from Milligan by scores of 6-0 and 9-0.

Anorexia is an
eating disorder. It occurs when a person's obsession with diet and exercise leads to extreme weight loss. The disorder is considered if a person refuses to maintain a body weight at or above 85% of their ideal body weight. Anorexia can be fatal.
The cause of anorexia is not known. It appears to be a combination of genetics and environment.
Anorexia is more common in women. Factors that increase your risk for anorexia include:
Symptoms may include:
Anorexia often leads to a number of serious medical problems including:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam and psychological evaluation will be done.
Other tests may include:
The goal of treatment is to return to and maintain a healthy weight. A healthy weight is above 85% of your ideal weight. To achieve this, the intake of calories is gradually increased. This can be accomplished through a number of interventions, including the following:
A dietitian may be consulted to help you learn more about the components of a healthy diet. The dietitian will also talk to you about reasonable weight and calorie goals.
Therapy can help address harmful thought patterns, improve eating behavior, and increase self-esteem. There are many different types of therapy. Work with your doctor and therapists to determine which therapy may be best for you. You may use more than one therapy or try different therapies before you find one that works best for you. Some therapy options include:
In some cases, people with anorexia benefit from a combination of psychotherapy and antidepressant medication. In particular, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
are used. Used alone, antidepressant therapy is not an effective treatment for anorexia.
Medications and supplements may include:
Hospitalization may be necessary if:
There are no current guidelines to prevent anorexia. Early detection and treatment is the best option.

"Stargazing on the Night Train/Get Into Nature!"
The Pteranodon family rides a special 'Night Train" to another part of the Cretaceous Time Period, where they meet a Troodontid "cousin" of the Conductor's, Sidney Sinovenator, who knows more about the stars than anyone. Sidney takes the family up to his favorite stargazing spot, "Starry Hill," and teaches the kids why the stars seem to move across the night sky. When the kids build their own version of a nest on the beach, below their actual family nest up on the cliff, they get the idea to turn their beach nest into a clubhouse. D

New York City, home to a
sizeable population of Jamaican emigrants, maintained a relatively low profile in the
reggae world until the 1980's. Then, the music's transition from roots to dancehall was
accompanied by explosive growth in New York's local reggae scene. In the Jamaican
tradition, this scene was centered around locally-run sound systems, and of these, the
sound now known as Downbeat the Ruler (originally called Downbeat International) has
proved to be the most enduring. Founded in the seventies by selector Tony Screw, Downbeat
rapidly became not only a regional force, but one that could compete with the strongest
sounds from Jamaica.
In the "rub-a-dub" era of the 1980's, sound systems were as much a showcase for
live performances as they were for records, and Downbeat ensured its success by regularly
featuring the best of Jamaica's microphone talent. Brigadier Jerry of Jah
Love Muzik was a
frequent visitor, and other top artists like Josey Wales, Charlie Chaplin, Lone Ranger,
Nicodemus, Early B, Jim Brown, Johnny Osbourne, Ninjaman, Papa San, Professor Nuts and
more came to New York to perform for the sound. In addition to hosting these Jamaican
performers, Downbeat provided exposure for New York's local artists, some of whom went on
to achieve worldwide recognition. The core of the Downbeat crew included Shinehead, Louie
Ranking, Sister Carol, and Santa Ranking, and other locals like Mikey Jarrett, Alton Irie,
Reverend Badoo, Neville Valentine, and Brimstone would occasionally appear as well.
In addition to this large
and varied supply of top-ranking live performers, Downbeat was also known to possess a
deep box of "dubplates," exclusive recordings cut by artists for Downbeat alone
to play. Featuring custom-built lyrics proclaiming Downbeats dominance, these
dubplates served the sound well in sound clashes (face-offs in which opposing sound
systems exchange exclusive tunes and improvised lyrics in attempts to win crowd support).
Armed with its fearsome wax and sizeable host of artists, Downbeat successfully clashed
not only American competitors like African Love and Papa Moke, but also top sound systems
from Jamaica like Silverhawk, Black Scorpio, Volcano, and Stereo One, who would fly to New
York to battle the local champion.
In addition to this large and
varied supply of first-class live performers, Downbeat also had a deep box of
"dubplates," exclusive recordings cut by artists for Downbeat alone to play.
Featuring custom-built lyrics proclaiming Downbeat's dominance, these dubplates
served the sound well in "sound clashes," face-offs in which competing sound
systems would exchange exclusive tunes and improvised lyrics in order to win the favor of
the crowd. Armed with its fearsome record selection and sizable host of artists, Downbeat
successfully clashed not only American rivals like African Love and Papa Moke, but also
top sound systems from Jamaica like Silverhawk, Black Scorpio, Volcano, and Stereo One,
who would fly to New York to battle the local champion.
The arrival of the 1990's brought major change to the sound system world. In a development
pioneered in Jamaica by the mighty Stone Love, live
performances were replaced by a steady
stream of dubplates introduced by the sound's "selector," and the deejays once
so central to the sound systems became primarily recording artists. Downbeat, with its
potent dub box, was handsomely prepared for this new era, but did not entirely abandon its
foundation in live performances. Artists would still occasionally perform on the sound,
and in the mid-90's Downbeat held a series of dances featuring the former Stur Gav crew
and other foundation artists, including U Roy, Brigadier Jerry, Charlie Chaplin, Josey
Wales, Ranking Joe, Lone Ranger, Sugar Minott, and Pad Anthony, proving that these
veterans were still in fine performing form.
Today, after almost three decades in the business, Downbeat remains a force to be reckoned
with. The sound is traditionalist in its choice of artists and songs to voice, and does
not constantly chase the most-hyped "bashment" rhythm or artist-of-the-week.
Instead, Downbeat maintains what is quite possibly the deepest, heaviest collection of
exclusive foundation dubplates in the world, a record box only rivaled by a small handful
of other long-established sounds. Unlike so many other sounds from the past that have
fallen by the wayside, Downbeat still regularly holds dances, and occasionally flexes its
sizeable muscles in clashes. Nearly unmatched in longevity and might, there is no doubt
that Tony Screw and his sound have long since earned their title: Downbeat the Ruler.

Following months of news reports concerning the U.S. Department of Justice and the Sheriff�s Office, I feel that we have reached a point where I need to clarify several issues for the good people of Alamance County. I felt especially compelled to respond in light of a column appearing in the Times News on Oct. 19 by Ben Ansbacher. In reading his article I was amazed at the incredible inaccuracies. Perhaps I should not have been surprised, as Mr. Ansbacher is a self- identified member of Fairness Alamance and appears, in the opinion of many, to have had an obvious agenda towards the Sheriff�s Office for some time.
I have refrained from making many statements regarding this case largely due to the often mentioned confidentiality agreement with the DOJ. Indeed I have not addressed a number of facts because of this secrecy agreement. It is my belief that the people of Alamance County should know that this agreement was not the brainchild of our office nor our attorneys. It was prepared by the DOJ and presented to us with the ultimatum to either agree to it or risk having information potentially withheld from us. The unfortunate result has been our inability to share a vast amount of information with the public for their review and evaluation. I can only say that I look forward to the disclosure of all of these facts in court and their ultimate release to the public.
Ever mindful of the constraints of the aforementioned agreement, it would appear that I can still make the following comments. First at no time have I instructed my staff to not speak with the DOJ. My position was and remains that if they choose to be interviewed without an attorney present they may do so. If they desired to secure counsel at their own expense that is their right. If anyone chose to have the county attorney represent them (at no cost) as well as the county then he would do so. What I would not do was instruct any member of my staff that they must be interviewed without an attorney. This statement has been released to the media previously and repeated on several occasions in response to a local live radio talk show. It is correct that the county attorney sent a memo asking that if any of our personnel were contacted by the DOJ they should initially direct them to his office. Why? Because he was (and is) the attorney initially responsible for representing all county employees in matters that link their professional actions with the county. Further Mr. Albright had already notified the DOJ attorneys in our first meeting that he was our counsel. Pursuant to NC Bar Rule 4.2 contact by DOJ lawyers should have been made through Mr. Albright. The DOJ subsequently filed suit claiming that Rule 4.2 didn�t, apparently, apply to them. (This suit has frequently been erroneously described as being filed to obtain access to deputies; it actually challenged Rule 4.2 applying in this case.) Ironically after waiting for 13 months for our first day in court, within hours of this suit being scheduled for trial the DOJ dismissed it with prejudice.
Regarding our records and documentation, literally tens of thousands of documents have been supplied to the DOJ. Some have been requested and sent multiple times when the DOJ reported to us that the documents had been �lost or accidentally destroyed� upon receipt by the DOJ. In 2009 my staff did discover a number of problems involving both human error and computer issues (during a period of software and program changes) that led to underreporting of some traffic stop data. This underreporting was across the board and equally involved drivers of all races and genders. Before this story ever broke we had already detected the problem, notified the county commissioners, county manager, county attorney and the state of North Carolina. We had already devised and implemented a procedure to prevent a reoccurrence.
As to any political motivations in this case, I cannot state that the DOJ specifically had any interest in my re-election. However, information came to us regarding certain e-mail correspondences between individuals, many being members of Fairness Alamance that directly related to our office and my re-election. We learned that these correspondences were conducted on a government computer in the UNC system. Armed with this information, the county attorney made a public records request for these e-mails. Eighteen months later we finally received these public records. Upon review we found that the e-mails included information about a fundraiser for my political opponent, communications with an associate of the Mexican Consulate in Raleigh, communications with or referring to the DOJ, specifically Samantha Trepel, prior to any investigation, as well as an exchange of ideas with a member of the ACLU on a plan to embarrass either me or a member of my staff at a public media event. Other plans for what seems to be community activism were included in these e-mails. Political motivation appears evident in light of these e-mails.
As to the question about refusing to �negotiate� with the DOJ, allow me to clarify. Immediately upon being notified of the so called �findings� of the DOJ, a letter was forwarded to their office requesting a meeting to discuss the alleged problems. As of this date we have received no response. Instead we were (again) offered a �consent� agreement, which would, in essence, entail admitting to wrongdoing (which in turn would open the county to the potential of additional lawsuits; if this occurred I am advised that any plaintiff would not have to prove wrongdoing on our part because we would have already admitted to it.) In addition a litany of DOJ requirements would follow. In reviewing similar agreements it appears the cost to accept these agreements is astronomical and has no end. Further the DOJ�s proposed settlement does not include any provision for a settlement without admitting fault.
Once again, I look forward to the time when we can provide complete information to our citizens, without the constraints of the DOJ secrecy agreement. Until that time our office will continue to provide services to all residents of this great county.
Terry S .Johnson is sheriff of Alamance County.

Decades before Mark Henry claimed the title of the "world's strongest man," there was Ken Patera.
A world-class weight lifter before breaking into the wrestling business, Patera was the first American to clean and jerk 500 pounds over his head. He won a gold medal in the 1971 Pan American Games and competed in the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, Germany.
Patera, who will be a featured guest at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest on Aug. 1-4
in Charlotte, has loads of memories to share of his time working in the Carolinas during the '70s.
Some of his best memories, though, are the ones he has of rooming with a future world champion before either got into the mat game.
"It was total insanity. That was the original Animal House," Patera says of his roommate days with Ric Flair during the early '70s in southern Minnesota. "It wasn't exactly cupcakes and liquorice."
The two met while working at a Minneapolis dinner club.
"I worked the back door, which was the Red Dog Saloon," says Patera. "That was the working man's bar where everyone came in with (stuff) on their shoes, and their only purpose was to get drunk and get in a fight. Ric worked the front door, where most people came in wearing suits and ties and evening gowns."
The club was a virtual gold mine, attracting several thousand patrons a day, says Patera.
Flair, a major sports fan even then, recognized Patera. "I just saw you on (ABC's) Wide World of Sports," he told the weight lifter.
The following week, says Patera, Flair invited him to his parents' house for a birthday party.
"He was still living with his mom and dad at the time, and he was dating his first wife. After that we really got to know each other. He was totally insane," Patera laughs.
The two eventually moved in together.
"Here I was at around 320 pounds, and he was about 280, and all we did was chase women. He was totally outrageous. Of course he was working at it 24/7."
In addition to bouncing at the dinner theater, Flair also worked as an insurance salesman.
The late-night hours, though, continued.
"His boss would have to call the house several times a week looking for Ric. I'd have to kick his (behind) out of bed every morning because he had been out all night," chuckles Patera. "It was a nightmare getting him to work."
Patera says he finally laid down the law and told Flair that the all-night parties had to come to an end. Patera was training for the Pan-American Games and complained that he couldn't sleep.
"I had to get up at six in the morning and work out. I had to put the kibosh on that."
Patera says the two were roommates for about five months. He knew that Flair wanted to break into the wrestling business.
"He never stopped bugging me about introducing him to (AWA promoter) Verne Gagne."
Flair had attended the University of Minnesota with Gagne's son, Greg, and Jim Brunzell, both future wrestlers.
Patera obliged and took Flair to Gagne's wrestling office. Initially Gagne refused to take Flair since he already had his limit of students at his training camp.
Patera, though, did a sales job on the veteran wrestler and promoter, telling him about "the stack of wrestling magazines four feet high" that Flair had collected. "I saw the pile at his parents' house. It was actually four feet high."
"You gotta take this kid," Patera implored Gagne. "He knows Greg, he knows Jim. "We're roommates, he's a good, big, athletic kid. He's a natural for this business. He can do all the spots and moves like Ray Stevens."
Gagne agreed to consider Patera's request despite the fact that his camp was at capacity.
"Trust me, he won't be in the way," Patera told Gagne, who trained the grapplers on his sprawling, 120-acre farm.
Gagne consented, and the rest is history.
At one point, says Patera, Flair wanted to quit. But he never did, as Patera wouldn't let him.
"He didn't quit for even an hour," says Patera, who started the camp a couple of weeks after returning from Munich.
The group included Flair, Patera, Greg Gagne, Jim Brunzell, Hossein Khosrow Vaziri (later known as The Iron Sheik) and former NFL linebacker Bob Bruggers.
Flair would later admit that he had never worked so hard in his life as he did during that harsh Midwestern winter, as Gagne and trainer Billy Robinson put him through the paces of 500 free squats, 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups.
The ring, notes Patera, was inside of Gagne's horse barns.
The grueling workouts would set the stage for Flair's later reputation of being one of the most well-conditioned performers in the business.
"That was Ric's role in life. He was meant to be in this business. He was meant to be the Nature Boy," says Patera.
Patera got hooked on wrestling at the age of 10 when his family became the first in his Portland, Ore., neighborhood to purchase a television set.
"Every Saturday when wrestling would come on, I'd watch. We got three half-hour shows every week ... wrestling from Portland, wrestling from Texas and wrestling from the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Since we were the only ones in the neighborhood with a TV, there'd be 20 other kids in our living room watching wrestling."
Patera grew up watching the likes of Gorgeous George, Mad Dog Vachon, Tough Tony Borne and Kurt Von Poppenheim.
Like Flair, Patera broke into the business in 1972. Billed as "the world's strongest man," Patera performed feats of strength such as bending steel with his bare hands and holding back an accelerated car with his legs pressed against the car's front and his back against a wall.
An amazing all-around athlete, he bench-pressed 560 pounds, squatted 820 pounds and deadlifted 785 pounds.
When he first arrived in the Carolinas, he began a money-drawing program with Johnny "The Champ" Valentine.
"I loved working with him. The place would always be sold out when we worked together. I remember one particular match where we just beat each other to a pulp for 35 or 40 minutes. He dropped me on my head with a suplex, and just about knocked me out. That was a great match."
The best match he had in the Mid-Atlantic area, says Patera, was the first match he had with his former roommate.
"It was a match in Rock Hill. I had a hell of a match with Ric. I don't remember who won or who lost, but it was a tremendous match."
Patera says he always enjoyed working for Crockett Promotions.
"It was more of a family situation," says Patera, who noted that many of the wrestlers lived in close proximity to one another.
He also liked the area — so much that he bought booker George Scott's house in Charlotte.
"He had it custom-built two years earlier. I bought it from him for exactly what he paid for it. He built a bigger house out by the golf course. I wish I still had that house, but I ended up selling it to Jimmy Garvin."
One of his favorite characters in the wrestling business was Mid-Atlantic favorite Wahoo McDaniel.
"Wahoo had a fishing pole and a bag of golf clubs, and he was the happiest guy in the world. He didn't need anything else."
Patera, during his second Mid-Atlantic stint in the late '70s, defeated McDaniel for the Mid-Atlantic heavyweight title, a crown he held for more than a year before losing it and later regaining it from Tony Atlas. He would eventually drop the belt to fellow AWA alumni Jim Brunzell.
"Forget about all the BS about Wahoo McDaniel. If you were a guy in need, even if he didn't even know you, he'd take the shirt off his back and give it to you. He was that type of guy."
Patera battled the best and toughest wrestlers of the era, but none more times than the biggest wrestler of that era, Andre The Giant.
It was a natural match-up: The Eighth Wonder of the World vs. The World's Strongest Man.
"We wrestled each other more than 600 times," he says. "Hulk Hogan was second at about 500. The reason I know it's over 600 times is because Andre told me. He kept a record. If I had to do it all over again, I'd work with him every night. He was a brilliant guy. His favorite subject was math. He was an unbelievable card player. You should have seen him play cribbage. He'd beat you like a red-headed stepchild."
He and Hogan had a number system, says Patera.
"One through 10. We didn't even call the move. We just said the number. He was very basic. I tried to mix it up a little bit. Ray Stevens once told me to keep it basic and simple, and everybody will remember. That's absolutely true."
Patera lists his final official match as the 1988 Summer Slam pay-per-view, although he later did a few "mini-world tours."
"I couldn't get out of there fast enough," says Patera, who had eight major surgeries as a result of his profession.
"In 1993 I had my hip replaced, and I said this is it. I don't need it anymore. I could have continued, but I like being close to my kids."
Being a strongman, Patera says he could have easily limited his repertoire.
"I could have stuck with the bear hug and the full nelson and the body slam, and I wouldn't have had all these operations. I was the world's strongest man. Why should I take a backdrop or a suplex? But I felt I needed to entertain the fans. I think I gave the people their money's worth."
Patera, a couple of months shy of 70, worked in a number of businesses following his wrestling career. He owned a limousine service, health club, tanning salons and sports apparel company.
He now works as a leading salesman for one of the leading industrial suppliers of replacement screening systems in the country.
In layman terms, he says, "We crush rocks. We make big rocks smaller and we put them through a screening system that sizes them. They're taken off on big conveyor belts, and they make big piles of rocks. Every time you run by a sand and gravel operation, you see all the different piles. All those piles have different sizes. We make all that possible."

I step out of my vehicle, wandering casually amongst a crowd of civilians who are working around various large pieces of machinery. I wonder to myself it it's better to plant my explosives stealthily -- in which case innocents might die, which would hurt my cause -- or if it's better to send out a warning, which would also alert the authorities. My conscience gets the better of me, and I pull out my pistol, firing it into the ground as I run amongst the civilians, watching them run while I start the dirty work of planting the charges. While I know now I'll have tougher time fighting my way out of the area, it comforts me in some way to know that no unnecessary blood is on my hands, and that those I saved might very well be future champions of the insurgency I'm a part of.
Sure, you don't have to get into the psychology of what you're doing in Red Faction: Guerilla -- like I did above -- but I think at that point you're missing out on a crucial part of the game. While there is, of course, fun to be had in outright destruction and carnage, playing the game, and watching the exclusive trailer below, speaks volumes about what the team really wanted you to think about.
You're not just a mindless killer, or a person who is encouraged to randomly hit people on the road or destroy at will. Guerilla may be an open world, but Grand Theft Auto it is not. From the very start of the game you're taught that while what you're doing can be very easily construed as terrorism, that you're doing it for all the right reasons. The EDF is an occupying force that harms those it's supposed to protect, and the rebellion that's taking place may seem brutal in its tactics, but the alternative is even worse.
Most games place you in the boots of a super soldier, and to some extent you still are, but the tactics you use to take on a superior force are familiar to anyone that watches or reads the news from Iraq. Roadside bombs, explosives-laden cars you can drive into guard posts, and assassinations are a regular part of your repertoire. And while normally we look at these actions in horror, Guerilla makes you feel that what you're doing is necessary for liberation. Civilians will even take up arms besides you, emboldening your resolve that what you're doing is what the people truly want.
While Volition's other open-world game, Saints Row, may have been very tongue-in-cheek, Guerilla looks to be taking a much more serious angle. And yes, in case you're wondering, it's a lot of fun so far, too. The terrain deformation made famous in the original Red Faction games is there, and lends itself well to the insurgent acts you're carrying out. Play the demo that's out, but know this: there's a lot more to Guerilla than the few moments of demo would lead you to believe.

Mary K. Hauser, 78
Mary K. Hauser, 78, of Blackfoot, Idaho passed away Wednesday, March 12, 2014, from Parkinson's disease. She died peacefully in her sleep, her husband at her side. She would have been 79 in April.
Encompass (of Pocatello) provided excellent hospice care, which includes Susan Barkus, Director; Dr. Travis Nielsen; RN Camie Christensen; Terri Bascom, Home Health Aid; and Miranda "Carmen " Hedges, Social Worker.
Mary was born April 25, 1935 in Akron, Ohio, youngest daughter of Joe and Teresa Yen. At seven, Mary lost both her parents in separate, tragic deaths. She and her brother Charles were raised by Mary's older sister, Anna, and her husband Herbert McGovern.
Mary was predeceased by brothers, John and Joe; sister, Anna; and her oldest son, Eric, in 2011.
She is survived by her husband, Ralph of Blackfoot; son, Todd of Seattle, Wash.; brother, Charles (Rose) Yen of Akron, Ohio; granddaughters, Arlee, Shayenne, Emily and Madison, and their mother, Trina Dixon, all currently living in Pocatello; nephews and nieces in Ohio.
Mary and Ralph were high school sweethearts, and were married Jan. 29, 1955 in Akron, Ohio. They were married 59 years Jan. 29, 2014.
Mary graduated from East High School in 1953, and was secretary of the senior class. She attended Akron University, and was a secretary her adult work life. When her husband became a court reporter, she transcribed depositions and court proceedings for him. She attended numerous workshops and seminars in connection with her work at American Potato/Basic American Foods.
Mary's first job after high school was for Chief Frank Vernotzy of the Akron Fire Department. The firemen all loved her big blue eyes, engaging smile, and sparkling personality. They dubbed her "Fireball Annie."
Later, she worked at Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in Akron. Ralph was drafted into the Army in 1959 and Mary worked at Tectum Corporation in Columbus, Ohio, where he was stationed for a time. The family moved from Ohio to California in 1965, and she worked on her PHT degree (Putting Hubby Through) at Marcona Corporation, an international mining firm, in San Francisco while Ralph attended court reporting school.
The family moved from California to Idaho in 1970, and Mary subsequently went to work for Joe Rainwater in the research department of then American Potato Company. Mary retired from Basic American Foods in 1999 with more than 20 years' service.
At the urging of their friends Ron and Susan Jarman, Mary and Ralph learned to downhill ski at Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyo. when they were in their early 40's. She loved skiing and became quite proficient once she and Ralph mastered getting on and off ski lifts gracefully. They skied a number of mountains in the Intermountain West, but Jackson Hole was their favorite.

Weeks won't move to outfield for Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- With left fielder Khris Davis struggling at the plate and Rickie Weeks' bat heating up on the bench, Brewers officials recently asked Weeks whether he would consider trying the outfield.

MILWAUKEE -- With left fielder Khris Davis struggling at the plate and Rickie Weeks' bat heating up on the bench, Brewers officials recently asked Weeks whether he would consider trying the outfield.
Weeks declined.View Full Game Coverage
"I'm a second baseman," he told reporters. "I feel like, right now, I should be playing second base."
Might the promise of more playing time as a left fielder change his mind?
"Like I said, right now, I'm a second baseman," Weeks said.
Weeks is the right-handed-hitting half of the Brewers' second-base platoon with lefty swinger Scooter Gennett, who has been getting the vast majority of starts because so many pitchers are right-handed. Weeks on Saturday made his first start at second base since April 26 because a left-hander -- CC Sabathia -- was on the mound for the Yankees.
Weeks made the most of it, going 2-for-4 with his first RBI of the season, on a go-ahead hit in the seventh inning that proved the difference in the Brewers' 5-4 win.
During the winter, Brewers officials knew they had a challenging situation at second base because both Weeks, who is due $11 million this season in the final year of his contract, and Gennett, who came on last season after Weeks suffered a torn left hamstring, are limited to that one position. Officials discussed at that time whether Weeks might work in the outfield or at first base, but opted to sign veterans Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay to share first-base duties, and installed Davis, who had played admirably last year in place of a suspended Ryan Braun, in left field.
Second base was to begin as a straight platoon between Weeks and Gennett, manager Ron Roenicke said, though performance could eventually change that. Gennett is batting .282 with a .317 on-base percentage in 117 at-bats, and Weeks, thanks to his current hot streak, is up to .282 with a .349 on-base percentage in 39 at-bats, mostly off the bench.
Weeks' numbers have been boosted by five hits and two walks in his last nine plate appearances, five of them coming as a pinch-hitter.
"It's not that easy to just put somebody in the outfield," Roenicke said in Weeks' defense. "We did it so much last year, trying to switch guys around in Spring Training, that we had a discussion with [general manager] Doug [Melvin] and tried to not do that as much as we did the year before. Try to keep guys in their position more so we could get a better defensive job out of one position.
"It's hard when you're moving guys everywhere and then you expect them to be really good defensively. I think that's what we got into last year, so we tried to stay away from it this year."
But Roenicke and other decision-makers have reconsidered that philosophy in light of Davis' recent troubles. He entered Saturday batting .169 with a .180 OBP over his previous 15 games.
So the Brewers have been mulling alternatives, including Weeks. Asked whether it was reasonable to assume a manager would try to persuade a player, even an established player, to change positions if he deemed it in everyone's best interest, Roenicke responded, "Yeah. I'll leave it at that."
With Weeks off the table, a left-field platoon is possible, Roenicke said, with Logan Schafer and Caleb Gindl currently available as left-handed-hitting options.
"We've already had discussions on it, but there will be a time when we need to make a move if things continue," Roenicke said.

Sonny_D 7 years ago
One of my league mates can't log in. He tried logging in using his old screen name, was redirected but then when he enters an email address it says "Your screen name or Email is incorrect".
Is this because he accidentally created a new account? If so, why isn't it linking him into our league.
[Deleted User] 7 years ago
NO SCREEN NAME, must use a email. If he still can't get in, find his profile and copy it here so Hal can help more precise
FleaMod Admin 7 years ago
It's the last user step to migrate over from using an AOL user name -- you must log in with an e-mail address now (any email, including AOL is fine).
1) Head to the regular Fleaflicker sign in page and enter your information - hit OK at the pop up -- an AOL page will show
2) Just enter your Fleaflicker/AOL information on that new AOL page after the Fleaflicker sign-in page
3) Grant Fleaflicker access
4) You will then be prompted to change your password information and will now see the new e-mail address to use as your log-in name from now on
Let me know if and when you're getting stuck

Buckeyehouse 1 decade ago
a member of my league has a different e-mail than he had last year, he no longer has access to his previous e-mail. is there any way to change his e-mail without deleting his team and inviting him as a new team?
fleafounder Admin 1 decade ago
If he can sign in he can change the E-mail himself.
Otherwise you can safely remove him from the league. This will make his team unowned and eligible for takeover by another user (or the same user under a different account).

If you were asked to think of a typical GoDaddy Super Bowl commercial, odds are you'd conjure up images of scantily clad women and shameless pleas to go to godaddy.com for additional racy footage.
Not this time. The web hosting company is mixing it up in 2014, electing to go for humor in the form of bouncing male pectoral muscles.
In the 30-second spot, which will air during the Super Bowl broadcast on Feb. 2, an ever-growing number of body builders (including Danica Patrick in a muscle suit) run down city streets to get to a tanning salon that has recently created a website using the hosting company.
When the throng of muscley models show up at her door, the shopkeeper grabs her can of tanning spray and says, "It's go time."
Business Insider reports that this spot is further evidence of GoDaddy's effort to shift away from the salacious ads of its past but still remain edgy.
Does the company succeed or is it back to the drawing board? Please share your opinion with a comment, below.

Is the GOP the Humpty Dumpty Party?
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 06:58 AM by kentuck
When they brought the Tea Party into the fold, they chose to all fall off the wall together. They have broken into several parts.
They had a chance with Rick Perry but they all ganged up on him to destroy his chances. That's good for the Democrats but bad for the GOP. They have adopted a purity test that makes it impossible to pick a consensus candidate. In normal times, Mitt Romney would already have been chosen.
None of the nine candidates now running are satisfactory. They are looking for someone else. The media is attempting to tell them that Chris Christie is the answer. These vultures would eat him alive. And it would be a fulfilling meal.
The Democrats are an unhappy Party but they are nowhere near as divided as the Republicans. We know who our candidate is going to be, whether we like it or not. The Republicans are so divided, they cannot choose anyone to lead them, thanks to their beloved Tea Party.
As Democrats, we should put aside our differences for just a little while, so we can all enjoy the disastrous saga taking place in the Republican Party. It is truly entertaining. :-)
Yes, the Dems know who their candidate is going to be, but ONLY because even though they know Obama how awful Obama has been as a President they are too scared to primary him because of political correctness. They'd all be called racist and they can't have that now can they. That's more important than running a candidate that could be effective and pull the country out of the economic situation we're in.

3. Perhaps but...
those were congressional races, not presidential races. There is a difference. Personally, I think we should concentrate more on taking back the House and the presidential race will take care of itself.
However, we should still enjoy the moment, in my opinion.GreenStormCloud (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-27-11 08:01 AM

4. A brief transient moment.
Conflict among different contestants is to be expected. Remember our own conflict between Clinton and Obama. After the nomination they will kiss and make up. During a Presidential election the top of the ticket drives the election.
And remember that Obama's ratings are low.
I think Kentuck has firmly cemented DUmmie of the Year this year. This guy is so brain dead... does he honestly not remember the 08' Dem Primary? There was so much bloodshed going on between Obama and Clinton that this primary looks like a kindergarten bake sale.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.
kentuck really is delusional, way to go!!!!May the FORCE be with you!

Monitor managing editor Marshall Ingwerson chats with 'Why Nations Fail' co-author Daron Acemoglu.
The troubles of the eurozone today have a strong historical echo. The world has seen this situation before – in the young United States after independence but before the Constitution was enacted.
"Fundamentally, the problems are not that formidable," says MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, author of "Why Nations Fail" with Harvard political scientist James Robinson. "But there is a Catch-22."
That catch means that while creating a strong eurozone would be better for all players, in Dr. Acemoglu's view, it's unlikely to happen. Europe is unlikely to follow the US pattern anytime soon. The integration of Europe has been a tremendous success story, he argues.
"The European Union as a political project has been hugely successful. If you think of Europe in 1945, it was a wasteland. It was not only economically, politically, socially destroyed, but it was demoralized. And on top of this, you have another 65 years of complete stabilization, very rapid democratization, institution-building, very, very rapid economic growth. And I think few people would argue that this was unrelated to the stability that the European Union brought to the continent."
But the current crisis has brought out some flaws in European integration to the surface.
"Let me take you back to the United States. The United States went through the same process with the Articles of Confederation. The thirteen [former] colonies were linked in a weak umbrella organization, but not linked politically and not linked fiscally. And that became unworkable. What the US Constitution achieved was a very rapid process of political centralization which went hand in hand with fiscal centralization, meaning that the states transferred their debt to the central government but the central government got political power over these states and that system became extremely stable, of course. And the basis of the nineteenth century growth in the United States."
He adds: "It would seem that a similar sort of solution might be optimal for Europe as a whole."
Many, including the US, are pushing Europe to join in a stronger fiscal union, meaning especially shared powers of borrowing. But that's not very attractive to the Germans.
"A fiscal union without a political union means that Germany and the European institutions have no say over what budget deficits, what tax rates, what spending other countries have but are ultimately on the line for their shortfall."
The solution needs to be both a fiscal and political centralization like the US Constitution. That would share both voice and accountability along with the money.
"But nobody in Europe – not Greece, not France, not Spain, not Italy or Portugal – would like to have more political centralization."
Eventually, Acemoglu foresees that some countries will have to drop out of the union and set their dreams of greater prosperity aside for a time.
Further conversations with Daron Acemoglu, coauthor of "Why Nations Fail":

Bridgewater, NJ 08807 • 908 722-1200
General Information
Washington Valley Park consists of approximately 719 acres that lie along the First Watchung Ridge in Bridgewater Township. The park contains the former Bound Brook Elizabethtown Reservoir that will become the focal point of the park along a network of trails.
The park is located between the first and second Watchung Mountains at the geographic center of Somerset County. It consists of Pine and Hemlock forests, open freshwater wetland marshes, impressive rock outcroppings, numerous historic features and a 21-acre reservoir.
Washington Valley Park offers several recreational opportunities in an undisturbed natural setting, including hiking, mountain biking, and hawk watching. The more than seven miles of trails are great for hiking, and some of the best mountain biking in the state.
Washington Valley Park's Hawk Watch area is one of the East Coast's premier locations to watch thousands of raptors migrate south every autumn. And, if fishing is what you like, the reservoir is where you need to be. This body of water offers a multitude of fishing opportunities.
Whether you are a person seeking solitude, or someone who is bringing their family for a day of fun, Washington Valley Park has something for the outdoors person in all of us.
The park can be accessed from Vosseller Avenue at Millers Lane, and also at Newmans Lane.

Washington Valley Hawk Watch - Miller Lane, Bridgewater, NJ
General Information
Autumn, in the natural world, is a season of noticeable change. Trees offer a multitude of leaf colors from yellow to crimson red after a season of shades of green. Animals, like deer and foxes, begin to grow a thick layer of fur preparing themselves for the cold winter ahead, and birds migrate south to a warmer climate where there is an abundance of food and a lack of below-freezing temperatures. All of these can be seen in any of the Somerset County Park Commission's parks, especially the migrating birds.
From August through November, the Washington Valley Park Hawk Watch Area is host to several hundred hawkwatchers from all over the northeastern United States. They come to witness the thousands of hawks, falcons, and eagles flying overhead, sometimes just over the treetops. Armed with binoculars, spotting scopes and cameras, the hawkwatchers wait patiently while keeping an eye in the sky. They wait to both count and identify the onslaught of raptors making their journey south to far away places in Central and South America. Endangered and threatened birds like Ospreys, Peregrine Falcons, and Bald Eagles are some of the most noteworthy of the birds soaring above the area, especially when weather conditions are just right.
After a cold front moves through the area and the winds shift from the northwest, the stage is set for a day of effortless flight. When the condition occurs in mid-September while the Broad-winged Hawk migration is at its peak, more than 10,000 raptors can be seen in a single day. Of course, this is the time dozens of hawkwatcheers stand side-by-side, "armed" and ready, calling out numbers and identifying birds almost non-stop.
On September 15 and 22 from 10am-2pm, staff from the Somerset County Park Commission will conduct a Hawk Watch Open House. The Open House will help novices identify the high-soaring birds.
The Washington Valley Park Hawk Watch Area can be reached by traveling Route 22 to the Vosseller Avenue exit in Bridgewater. Drive up the hill (north) and make a left onto Miller Lane. Continue down Miller Lane, the road will bring you into the parking lot. Walk through the gate and down a short trail to the actual overlook area where the skies are visible.
If you have any further questions about the Washington Valley Park Hawk Watch Area, please call the Somerset County Park Commission Rangers at 908 722-1200 ext. 5121 or the Naturalists at 908 722-1200 ext. 5323.
Washington Valley Park Reservoir - Newman's Lane, Bridgewater, NJ
General Information
Washington Valley Park Reservoir is a 21-acre impoundment located in Bridgewater Township. The impoundment lies within the Lower-Raritan River drainage, and was created in the 1920's by the damming of the West Branch of Middle Brook for water supply to the Bound Brook area. Four small, unnamed tributaries also feed the impoundment. Located at the east end of the reservoir, near the dam, the maximum depth of this body of water is 22 feet.
Access to the reservoir can be gained by parking in the Newman's Lane parking lot. The reservoir does not have a boat ramp. There are, however, extensive trails around the perimeter of the reservoir for shoreline fishing.
The reservoir, with its steeply sloped banks, offers the angler several species of fish including Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch. All that is needed is a New Jersey fishing license, which can be purchased at a nearby sporting goods store.

ORLANDO | Despite all the investigation, public outrage and scrutiny over the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, at least one major piece of evidence has not yet been thoroughly analyzed: his cellphone.
ORLANDO | Despite all the investigation, public outrage and scrutiny over the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, at least one major piece of evidence has not yet been thoroughly analyzed: his cellphone.
Police found it at the scene the night Trayvon was shot, its battery dead. Authorities tried but failed to download data from the phone, then asked his father, Tracy Martin, for the security code so they could unlock it. They didn't get the code and turned the phone over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
A crime lab specialist there had only limited success accessing the messages, photos and other information on the phone, according to attorneys for defendant George Zimmerman.
Without the security code, FDLE analyst Stephen Brenton told attorneys, he could not unlock the phone and download information from its primary data-storage site: the chip built into the phone, said defense attorney Mark O'Mara.
Brenton was able to download files from two removable-storage devices in the phone: its SIM card and SD card, O'Mara said. But the information on its internal chip remains a mystery. It could be revealing, according to O'Mara and co-counsel Don West.
The phone is a 2-year-old Huawei U8150 smartphone, a model manufactured in China and sold by T-Mobile as the "Comet" and which shoots video and photos and provides Internet access plus conventional cellphone and texting features.
It could be a font of information about Martin, the unarmed black 17-year-old that Zimmerman killed Feb. 26 in Sanford. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He says he acted in self-defense.
In addition to revealing whom the high school junior talked with and when and what text messages he sent and received, it could be an electronic record of what he thought - captured in email, videos and photos - and the websites he visited.
The information downloaded by Brenton at the FDLE lab "tells me the last few phone calls, but that's about it," O'Mara said. "It looks like there is other information that I should have."
Dave Kleiman, a computer forensic technician and expert witness with Computer Forensics LLC in West Palm Beach, has no connection to the case and has not analyzed the phone, but he said there may be ways to get to the information from the built-in memory chip.
The phone uses an Android operating system, owned by Google, and Google may be able to bypass the security system and retrieve it, Kleiman said. A technician also could pull the chip out of the phone and analyze it, considered by some to be an extreme step because it would destroy the phone.
It's not clear why Brenton at FDLE went no further than he did. FDLE did not respond to an email asking about the process, and neither did the office of Special Prosecutor Angela Corey, which is handling the case against Zimmerman.
Brenton analyzed the phone March 26. It appears that no one has tried since then to pull more information from it, O'Mara said. He said he would press Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson at a Dec. 11 hearing to order the state to provide more information about what's on the phone.
The phone provides a link to one of the prosecution's most important witnesses, a 16-year-old Miami girl who told investigators that she was on the phone with Martin in the minutes leading up to the shooting.
In an interview recorded by an attorney for Martin's family and ABC News, she said a man was following Martin, that he was scared, that he asked, " 'What are you following me for?'" and she heard the man say, " 'What are you doing around here?'"
The phone then went dead, she said.
Tracy Martin provided ABC with a call log that showed several calls to his son's phone in the minutes leading up to the shooting, something consistent with the girl's account to prosecutors. The last was at 7:12 p.m. Martin was shot at 7:16 p.m., according to Seminole County Sheriff's Office records.
The phone is registered to Martin's father. According to police records, on March 1, an analyst with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office told Sanford police he needed the security code to unlock the data on the phone.
Sanford police Detective Doris Singleton contacted the carrier, T-Mobile, asking for the code. The company told her they could get to the information if they had the PIN to the account. On March 5, Sanford police Sgt. Joe Santiago asked Tracy Martin for the PIN, according to a police report. Tracy Martin said he'd check with his attorney.
Tracy Martin never got back with police. At a March 8 news conference in Orlando, he told reporters he would not help police download information from the phone.
When questioned last month about Tracy Martin's decision to withhold the phone's PIN from authorities, family attorney Benjamin Crump said: "I don't know anything about that. We're going to do anything prosecutors say we should."

JBond: "So yesterday was our weekly Saturday Smackdown event, and while I was modding the chat, we ended up with an interesting discussion about Sony games, and how strangely marketed they are. It led me to write this. Soundshapes & Starhawk are two totally completely different games in terms of genre and game mechanics, but they are both awesome games. They both suffered from (in my opinion) the same fatal flaw; Being marketed by Sony."
Soundshapes recently had an update and is still popular ... Don't know about Starhawk.
Starhawk is barely getting supported, because Sony let go of Lightbox interactive. Currently, Sony Santa Monica is the one who handles Starhawk. I wouldn't say the game is necessarily dead though, it has a small, but strong fan base that plays the game on a daily bases. Starhawk's failure was due to poor advertising, freezing issues(it did freeze a lot, it still kicks you to the XMB randomly), and the game mechanics strayed too far away to appeal to most of the people who played Warhawk. It's sad, because Dylan Jobe wants to develop a second Warhawk, he said so in a tweet but since Sony let LBI go it's near impossible.
Starhawk looked like it would be fun. But Sony had better things to spend money on at the time. Marketing is expensive. Especially TV.
