Volume 18 Issue 26 | November 11 - 17, 2005
Why are Americans like sheep?
By Andrei Codrescu
The Gas Riots of 2005
not. When the price of gas went over $3 per gallon youd have expected mobs to burn down a few cars. True, there was some talk of alternative energy and a lot of furious e-mail forwarding, which is Americas most radical activity these days, but there was hardly a peep from the populace. And just when there may have been, the price of gas dropped just enough to stop the grumbling. And Exxon, miraculously, reported its highest quarter profit in history, enough billions to rebuild New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It must be obvious to all, from the oligarchs to the poorest trash hauler, that the oil companies run this country. And how: cynically, for profit, and with the best interests of their Saudi friends at heart. The highest aspirations of our democracy are to be found bound and gagged between Riyadh and Bahrain. Oil companies do not promote U.S. interests: they are multinationals, they have no borders, national loyalties or sympathy for humans. They destroy the environment and the future without compunction. They are gigantic octopi of sheer power that squat on earth like happy cancers.
The talk from oil companies about hybrid cars and hydrogen fuel cells is eerie and chilling. These are the guys who destroyed public transportation in the United States by buying up municipal streetcar lines and then tearing them up. If Americans really started getting pissed off, the Oil Boys would deep-six those alternative technologies quicker than you can say Slick. Everybody knows that alternative technologies are fully viable now, but they are being deliberately suppressed. Other countries, including huge ones, like Brazil, have switched to ethanol completely. Thats alcohol; it burns clean, there is an endless supply, and your leaders dont have to hold hands with Saudi royals in public, and kiss their ass in private.
We could have had cars running on ethanol or other fuels since the first gas scare of the 70s. At that time, Americans were tougher: still scarred by the 60s, they werent scared to make their feelings known. The OPEC cartel backed out fast when faced by real resolve. The prices dropped vertiginously and the revolt was quelled. We were puritanical for a while, turning down our heaters and air conditioners and buying smaller cars. Since then, weve become softer, pudgier, more hypnotized by endless consumption, more docile and more afraid. What are we afraid of? Debt, for one thing. Everyone is up to their necks in debt and fearing for life. Secondly, news that impacts our pocketbooks is obscured by deliberate diversions, such as the war in Iraq. In real crises, like Hurricane Katrina, the government is as useless as the puppets that run it. My friend, Joe Cardarelli, a poet, used to say, The government in Washington is a play that Texas puts on every four years.
Boy, was he right. And we are just stupid spectators who dont even boo and hiss or throw things the way real spectators used to when they knew who they were. We dont even know that we are at a play and that we paid a lot for the tickets! So much so, in fact, our kids and grandkids will still be paying for them.

text: Personalization is quickly moving beyond traditional banner-based remarketing to inbound marketing for both the Web and multichannel environments, said Rob Brosnan, principal analyst at Forrester Research. Tailored inbound marketing can, for example, include serving up unique Web content based on a visitor's profile or making specific product offers to returning customers. The market for these services—provided by companies such as Adobe, Causata, IBM, Maxymiser and Oracle—is growing by 40% a year and will keep growing, Brosnan said. "The interesting thing is that most b-to-b companies already have the content to bring personalization," said Mike Telem, VP-business development and co-founder of Insightera, a provider of marketing personalization software that enables companies to serve tailored content to website visitors. "The problem is that they don't have ways to present that information." While inbound marketing personalization is relatively new, outbound marketing personalization—also known as retargeting or remarketing—has a longer history by Internet standards. In its simplest form, retargeting involves dropping a cookie into a prospect's browser after they engage with a marketer's brand in some capacity, then serving up banner ads specific to that user no matter where they go on the Internet (provided that they visit sites that are available to the ad network the marketer is using). That remarketing is possible with almost any Web-based interaction, whether it's partly filling out a Web form, putting a product in a cart, visiting a website, opening an email, visiting a Facebook page or responding to direct mail. But despite its rapid proliferation, there are still questions surrounding remarketing. As Bailey at DecisionLinks found out, it can be hard to get reliable numbers on its effectiveness. "Transparency has been hard to find," Bailey said. "A lot of agencies tweak their numbers or structure a campaign so it looks like it works, but it's hard to tell [if that's so]. If the question is "Will they click back?' The answer is yes. But will they end up buying in the end? From our early data, it certainly seems like it will be worth our investment, but that's primarily because we're targeting lower-funnel prospects. They're ready to buy. If they were higher up in the buying funnel, it would be harder to justify." Retargeting campaigns may also be vulnerable to mistakes. Kerry Morris, senior VP-online solutions at Epsilon, said marketers often miss an opportunity to expand the tactic across other touch points. "Don't just retarget website visitors, he said. "You should also retarget email openers, direct mail responders and consumers who make a purchase in a physical store." A second mistake is related to how marketers attribute success, Morris said. "If a marketer is using a last-touch attribution approach, then the last contact to occur before the purchase will receive all of the credit for the conversion," he said. "Since retargeting is by definition triggered from another interaction, it typically occurs later in the purchase process, so it will receive a disproportionate amount of the credit." Marketers also need to design engagement programs that will increase the frequency of customer website visits, Forrester's Brosnan said. Otherwise, cookies used to identify customers essentially expire, he said. Ilana Bercovitz, marketing manager at ReTargeter, advises putting frequency caps in place on the number of times an ad can be served up and stopping a campaign when the prospect takes whatever action you're trying to encourage. Following best practices can make retargeting useful in multiple ways, she said. "Retargeting is definitely effective for branding," Bercovitz said. "[But] people don't realize how effective retargeting can be in lead generation or lead nurturing, and moving leads further down the funnel." Aside from the question of whether it works, the issue of privacy is constantly hovering around the issue of digital personalization—whether it's dropping cookies into people's browsers and following them across the Internet or assembling a digital profile of a website visitor in real time and serving up adaptive content. But, Bercovitz said, it's important to note that display ad retargeting does not store any personal identifying information. "It's an increasingly complex space, and privacy is a concern; but we're not infringing on anyone's privacy," she said.

This "one-shot stopping power" holy grail thing might be just a mirage. It is one of those things that would be nice to know, if it existed.
How many here have had professional training in defensive handguns?
Of those, how many have been taught to shoot once and only once?
In the two places where I have been trained the training is/was (assuming a single threat): Shoot twice to center of mass, assess, and proceed as necessary.
A handgun is a compromise, that is hopefully "good enough" to get the job done. That job is to incapacitate an imminent threat of great bodily harm or death as quickly as possible.
It is not about lethality.
It is about stopping the threat.
It is irrelevant whether the threat dies sometime in the distant future. Merely firing a handgun is legally using deadly force in most jurisdictions. It is relevant whether the threat is able to bring its attack to you and do you great harm.

They actually have a lousy reputation for penetration, and adequate penetration is one of the most important attributes in a defensive cartridge.

I choose the weapons platform which I can shoot the most accurate and reliably. Then I pick the caliber.

I'd say this chart is wildly optimistic about the ability of any handgun round to produce a "one shot stop" whatever that is.
But I'm just another guy on the internet with an opinion.

I read a "stopping power" article recently, that focused on the people who were shot, rather than on the cartridge that stopped them. That is, the numbers focused on what proportion of people were stopped with a single shot, what proportion with two shots, THEN looked at the cartridges used. It was interesting, in that of those stopped with one round, it didn't really matter what hit them. Most people are stopped if shot once. Only when more than one round was required did caliber/cartridge start to make a difference. I'll see if I can find it . . .

Exactly, and I think it's "unfair" to remove psychological stops from the numbers. If someone stops what they're doing, because they've been shot (in the thumb, with a .22), then that's a one-stop shot.

I dont agree that a thumb shot with a 22 (or anything else) should qualify as a one shot stop. For the intent of the concept, it doesnt equate. Yes, I agree the concept is complicated, and clouded with the past theories/"tests"/debates, but its still a fair question. What works consistantly well?
The other aspect mentioned, a good hit with a 22 will "kill", whereas a poor hit with a 44 won't doesn't add anything usefull to the discussion. The difference between kill and stop are vast. I may be able to kill a deer with a 22 shot to the body, but it means little if I want to eat that deer, it wont likely succumb in any time frame thats going to do me much good, same with defensive use of some calibers. Yes, some smallish calibers are better than a sharp stick or harsh words, but many things will work much better, and predictably so. Dont shoot poorly with the 44, and it changes the picture entirely. That's a predictable result also. Shoot well. I'm not sure why it seems to be supposed that a larger caliber will be shot poorly in those comments.
There's no magic bullet or caliber. Some seem to work better than others on a consistant basis, some less so. Looking at the question is interesting, and can yield useful information. Still, no guarantees on exactly whats going to happen every single time. Kill enough critters, and that lesson is reinforced over time. Everyone wants definitive results. Life just isn't like that.
My default assumption isn't "they'll probably run off if they get shot or shot at", its more like the deer, "they're going to try their dead level best to do whatever thay had in mind when this started, or will take this very personal and aren't giving up easily". If it goes the other way, OK, if it goes the way I think it may, I don't want to handicap myself right from the start with the smallest gun I can carry.

Noise, flash and perceived recoil are all range issues. In a real gunfight, as soon as you get the adrenaline dump, your body is preparing for fight or flight. You will experience visual and auditory exclusion, you will lose fine motor skills and will feel clumsy. Time will S-L-O-W, well not really, but is seems like it as your brain is hyper sensitive capturing the most minute detail.
That is fact. Books, movies, and magazine articles may be based on fact, but are greatly embellished for the entertainment value.

"One shot stop', or the 'Jello shooters' ... I personally consider both sides pretty much the same and enjoy reading both results. I based my first choice in a handgun on the 'One shot stop' results. The .357 magnum is still my favorite caliber, followed closely by the .44 magnum. Like all things in life it seems okay for each individual to, 'Take what you like, and leave the rest'. I see no good point in everyone challenging the belief of another and trying to convince folks that their belief is the correct belief. As William Shakespeare put it, 'Lay on MacDuff, and damn'd be him who first cries, enough!'

The music of Greenville's Four 14 band draws from many different sources.
The music of Greenville's Four 14 band draws from many different sources. Their blend of drums and hand-percussion-spiked polyrhythms brings to mind the jazz-rock fusion work of Santana, the wailing sax brings a pinch of old-school soul, and the expansive jams the band unleashes are pure Grateful Dead. Whether utilizing their unique sound on their own compositions or covers, Four 14's singular musical attack gets people's attention.
The band formed in 2009, and singer Kyle Rowland says that determining the lineup wasn't that difficult. "We were a bunch of best friends, basically," Rowland said. "We were just all hanging out, and all played instruments, so we just decided to jam." The band took their musical approach seriously, enough so that, after an initial performance, they took an extended hiatus to prepare as much as possible. "We started in late 2009, and then didn't play again until mid-2010," Rowland said. "We played one show and then didn't play another show for around six months, while we were trying to get all of our stuff together."
The band was initially a quintet, with percussionist Mark Ashley handling the bottom end on his own until 2011, when the group added drummer Chris Bradley. "The biggest thing that made us add a drummer was the intensity of our music," Rowland said. "It was very important to keep the hand-percussion also, but we wanted to be able to feel that we could play in front of 20,000 people, even if we weren't actually playing in front of 20,000 people. The drums and percussion together open up a whole different spectrum of the music, just in terms of the rhythms alone."
Rowland says that the band's unusual instrumental combination allows them to experiment, both with their own songs and covers. "We do some things that are different," Rowland said, "a little oddball." "Overall, we can break the songs down more and get going in different directions. But the main thing is just that we want to pay homage to the people we're inspired by. Music tends to recreate itself over and over again, and we think it's very important not to leave those influences behind."
As far as Four 14's live show goes, Rowland says the band is confident about their performance style.
"Across the board, we want people to understand that when they come to a show, each person in the band plays a part in creating this sound," he said. "We talk a lot about stage presence, but we don't have to put on stage presence. We get into what we're playing just as much as we want the crowd to get into it. I think that gets the people watching more involved in it. It's a very energetic show that can take you a lot of places through music, because there are so many different styles of music that we can play."

CRESTVIEW � There is plenty of soul searching for the Crestview High School baseball team to do this week on spring break. The Class 7A Bulldogs have lost three of their last four games. The last of those losses came Tuesday when Class 1A Paxton beat Crestview 4-0.
CRESTVIEW � There is plenty of soul searching for the Crestview High School baseball team to do this week on spring break.
The Class 7A Bulldogs have lost three of their last four games. The last of those losses came Tuesday when Class 1A Paxton beat Crestview 4-0.
Bobcat starting pitcher Grant Stewart and reliever Andrew Howell teamed up to limited the Bulldogs (7-7) to three hits while striking out 11 Crestview batters.
Stewart worked the first five innings and struck out 10 and gave up two hits to pick up the win.
Bulldog Coach Tim Gillis didn�t pull any punches after the loss.
�It�s not real good,� he said. �I can tell you that.
�I thought their pitcher was as good as I�ve seen all year. They did everything they had to, to win and we didn�t. I tip my hat to them.�
The teams were deadlocked through the first five innings as Crestview starting pitcher Justin Abdo and Stewart faced off in a classic pitchers� duel.
What few batters reached base were erased by a good defensive play or simply stranded on base as the inning ended.
Twice, in the second and fifth innings, the Bulldogs had innings with runners thrown out trying to steal third base.
The Bobcats left runners on second and third in the third inning squandering an excellent scoring opportunity.
Paxton grabbed the momentum and the game with a three-run sixth inning that was fueled by what have become characteristic Bulldog mistakes.
Stewart led off the inning with an infield hit and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jesse Whitmire. A great play by Matt Gillis in center field robbed Howell of a base hit and run batted in for the second out of the inning.
Disasters struck just when it looked as if the Bulldogs would get out of the jam. A pair of Abdo wild pitches allowed Stewart to score.
A two-out walk to Kaleb Newborn kept the Bobcat inning alive. Back-to-back hits by Emory Anderson and Jeremiah Watkins scored Newborn.
Abdo was called for a balk with Anderson on third and Watkins on first allowing Anderson to score.
Crestview had the bases loaded on Howell with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth when Pierce Cadenhead connected for a leadoff single and Hunter Sullivan and Gillis drew back-to-back walks.
Corey Armstrong hit into a fielder�s choice that retired Cadenhead at home for the first out of the inning. Austin Armstrong popped out to short for the second out and Abdo popped out to right for the final out of the inning.
A pair of Bulldog errors allowed the Bobcats to pick up an unearned insurance run in the top of the seventh.
�We�ve done that (gift wrapped runs for the other team) time and time again,� Tim Gillis said. �We had the bases loaded there in the sixth with no outs and we were in a great situation. We had our best guys coming up, but we got nothing.
�We were unable to put any pressure on them right there. Obviously, they answered the call. I think they are a good baseball team.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn't ready to give his impressions of Tim Tebow after one practice.
Belichick says he's not getting into a "minute-by-minute" evaluation of his new backup quarterback. Tebow practiced for the first time with the Patriots on Tuesday after signing with the team. The Patriots are holding their three-day minicamp that runs through Thursday.
Belichick said Wednesday he doesn't think it's a good idea to evaluate players on a couple of plays, especially at this time of year. The Patriots plan to start their training camp in late July. He says he'll wait until he and his staff have more information before evaluating players.
He also says any time a player is on the field for the first day it's a learning experience.

Partial Taking in the Dunes of New Jersey: The Harvey Cedars Case
This past July, the New Jersey Supreme Court handed down Borough of Harvey Cedars v. Karan, 70 A.3d 524 (2013). In one sense this is a technical case about the rules of just compensation for a partial taking. The New Jersey Supreme Court clarified the distinction between "special benefits," which can be offset against the compensation owed for a partial taking, and "general benefits," which cannot. Where a dune restoration project would provide protection to a home in immediate proximity to the shore, if the value of that protection can be determined, it should be deducted from the compensation owed, even though the dune provides flood protection of the same kind—but in significantly less degree–to rows of houses further back from the ocean. The New Jersey Supreme Court determined that an evidentiary ruling excluding evidence of the benefit was erroneous as a matter of law, and remanded for a new trial. All five Justices participating in the opinion agreed.
The case is of more general interest because the public project involved concerned construction of a dune barrier on private property along New Jersey's barrier islands. It's a disaster law and climate change case. Dune projects have been underway here for some time–this one began in 2008–with the United States Corps of Engineers doing the heavy lifting, state and municipalities cooperating and chipping in a smallish part of the cost. All of Long Beach Island is part of a big old beach and dune project. And dune projects have gained special salience after Superstorm Sandy.
In the Borough of Harvey Cedars, on Long Beach Island, dune construction required the cooperation of all 82 beachfront property owners. Sixteen of them declined, forcing the municipality to begin condemnation proceedings for a strip of each recalcitrant property owner's land. In this particular case, the Karans refuse to grant a dune easement over about a quarter of their property; the easement included a dune 22 feet high, replacing one 16 feet high. A right of public access came along with the new dune as well. So the Karans wound up with a view of other folks' beach recreation activities on the higher dune, not the water view they had previously enjoyed. Evidence supporting the argument that the Karans' $1.9 million home would benefit from the flood protection afforded by the dune to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars was excluded from a jury by the trial court, on the theory that the entire community also benefitted, and that therefore the flood protection was a "general benefit" which could not legally be offset against the compensation owed the Karans. The Karan's expert had testified that they should receive $500,000 from Harvey Cedars. The Harvey Cedars expert (from the Corps of Engineers) testified that the proper amount of compensation was $300. But he couldn't point to evidence of benefit from flood protection because it had been excluded. The jury returned a compensation award of $375,000, principally for loss of view. You can do the math and see what this does to the possibility of any dune project. Holdouts galore. No project. Read More

Death Chart
A Horoscope figure constructed for the date and/or time of death, and interpreted by analogy with the birth chart of Astrology.
Interest in forecasting date and time of death has been ongoing for many millennia. Ancient rulers were specially concerned with these matters, and with whatever would come after they were gone, and if in some way they were going to be favorably remembered by their people.
It is said by some contemporary astrologers that John Lennon's and Marilyn Monroe's deaths could be easily predicted by simply looking and interpreting their Birth Charts.

Your ideal "Squad" of Survivors
June 21, 2011, 05:06:54 pm »
Alright, leaving out obvious shortfalls in logic and reason let's assume you have access to any weapon with a respectable amount of ammo. Pick and choose the loadouts of your squad, how many people will be in your squad, what skills you want in your squad to build on later (i.e. carpentry, gun smithing, horticulture) and any other general information you would think to add. Maybe if you want to get technical you could include female-male ratio's, build types, let's get a little creative here people.

Yutrzenika I definately agree with you. They would be a great squad to have on your side.
Mine would be something like this:
Leader: Think Rick Grimes from the walking dead, or Claire Redfield from Resident Evil, s/he is the glue of the party. Tough, resilient, intelligient and resourceful. S/he will lead my party through the wasteland to a better life. S/he has an ultimate goal of a safe place to live, in mind and s/he will get us there.
Weapons carried: Pistol. Possibly a rifle.
Tough guy: This is the guy that always has your back. He is a giant among men, bound with muscles and not particularly intelligient. But what he lacks in intelligience he more than makes up for in strength and brawn. While he has trouble with authority he prefers to follow rather than lead. Generally very optimistic doesn't let anything get him down. He is most likely ex-military or ex-sports star. When everyone else is afraid he is the one that reassures them through his physical presence.
Weapons carried: Guns lots of guns, He probably has a machine gun, a grenade launcher and a shotgun. Whatever causes the most destruction is likely what he carries.
Doctor: The healer of the group. She generally abhores violence and provides reason to the party where there would otherwise be none. She is compassionate but also pratical. She also listens to people's problems and helps them keep strong mentally. She is extremely intelligient. She sticks to the oath she made when she became a doctor and treats people even if they previously tried to kill her.
Weapons carried: None. She refuses to partake in killing and leaves zombie killing to the other members of the party.
Suvivalist: This guy was living in the woods since before you were born. He has seen it all and knows it all. He has a big beard and wears camoflagued hunting gear. He is very quiet and only says things when they are important. He knows how to provide for the party and where to find food and water when they can't scavenge supplies. He is usually the first person to hear the zombies and always sleeps lightly.
Weapons carried: A large hunting knife more like a small sword, a crossbow and a high powered hunting rifle.
Mechanic: Cynical and sarcastic he finds the downside in every plan. While this can be helpful in pointing out flaws it is generally just a defeatist attitude. He is intellgient but but dropped out of college unable to deal with the arrogant attitudes of the rich and successful. He provides the vital service of keeping any machines running. Cars, trucks and generators are all his thing.
Weapons carried: A wrench and a shotgun.
Plucky Survivor: She survived in the wasteland using her wits and looks. She is a college student but was more at home partying and having fun than studying. She was in the regional team for hockey and has found a new use for her skills. She frequently finds the fun things to do in the wasteland but she gets bored easily. While she enjoys the freedom the apocalypse has brought her she would rather have the luxury of her previous lifestyle.
Weapons carried: A hockey stick
Edit: And me.
Weapons carried: Hunting knife and axe.

Okay, my fo' real zombie squad. This is like one'a them RPGs or something! As long as we're being creative I'll be detailed.
The Chef
: This guy doesn't know the ins and outs of combating the undead, but he can whip up a good meal for you and your squadmates outta the most minuscule of ingredients. With his knowledge of food he is able to notify the other squad members of which fruits are ripe or not, whether or not that cheese has gone bad, if you should eat those tasty looking berries, and he also knows how to keep your blade sharp.
Inventory: Various portable cooking supplies, chefs knife, Glock 17 9mm pistol.
The SpecOps Guy
: He can fire and maintain any gun you give him, he's physically fit, he has everything you need to survive. The SpecOps Guy's military survival training has taught him all the survival skills necessary for being in the wild, much like the chef can tell you which plants and animals are safe to eat, what they taste like, how to prepare them with little or no supplies. He and The Chef work well together, SpecOps Guy identifying edible wild plants and animals, and The Chef cooking it up to be served.
Inventory: AR-15 5.56/.223, survival knife, water canteen, various other survival goodies.
The Outdoorswoman
: The Outdoorswoman is the hunter of the squad, feeling right at home inna woods. Able to hit targets with deadly accuracy and brutal efficiency. When shit hits the fan she's not afraid to club zombies brains out with the butt of her rifle, or the stab them in the socket with her bayonet. She knows how to maintain her guns very well, and is a genius at reloading spent cartridges, able to load everything from .22 to 12 gauge, and like the chef and specops guy, she is able to provide food for the rest of the squad, using her years of hunting experience to track and kill deer, and other wild animals.
battle rifle 7.62mm, TT-33 Tokarev pistol 7.62mm, tools for gutting, skinning, and cleaning animal carcasses.
The Plinker
: Prior to the apocalypse The Plinker spent his most of his time plinking with .22 caliber rifles and pistols. The .22s stopping power, or lack thereof is of no concern to The Plinker, he is able to hit the zombies right in the melon with his tacticool rifle with deadly accuracy. The Plinker is able to carry literally thousands of .22 rounds, he won't be running out anytime soon, and thanks to how little space bricks of .22 take up he also acts as a sort of pack mule, able to heft stuff the others don't have room to carry in his backpack. The Plinker was also training to become a mechanic prior to the apocalypse, but due to zombie related problems his classes were cut short, so he doesn't fully know the workings of a car, but he's still very capable of hot-wiring one, or fixing minor engine problems.
Inventory: Customized Ruger 10/22 rifle .22 LR, Ruger 22/45 pistol .22 LR, several boxes of .22 LR rounds containing 550 rounds each, some mechanic supplies.

Have you guys seen the show "Deadliest Warrior"? I would have one or two of those guys on my team, and that wool socks wearing survivalist from that other "survivor guy in the wild" show.
I'll probably make up a detailed squad later, but I would have a couple of other women on the team too, being with all guys would get...crazy.

A full squad of SAS, Royal Marines or similar.
What? Ideal situation, right? In reality I'd be happy with anyone that can move at a fast walk, carry shit and swing a weapon.

i'm not sure on everyone i would want on my squad. i figure i would have a large group, but would have strike or defense teams. i figure a four man team seems good.
first off me
second off Ross
third Aaron
fourth undetermined.
as for the main group, we would need a good leader that could keep people calm and was charismatic.
we would need a farmer of sorts, got to be self sufficient.
a doctor, for when you are injured or sick. (added bonus if enough people, a chiropractor and masseuse.) those are luxurious but ones that would be great for moral.
mechanic/ engineer/ architect, they would get electronics or mechanical things working, I.E. Levey systems or gates that can be moved and locked into place easily.
security specialist, someone that knows about setting up good security.
some general laborers, they would work on the farm when harvesting, help with any building, and being there if or when something need to be done.
teacher, a requirement only if kids are in the group, or if there are plans on having kids in the group. if second, teacher can do other things.
Entertainment, this would be a requirement once the area has been secured. boredom is not good for moral.
then you would depending on location and preparedness, runners to gather supplies from surrounding areas.
also depending on circumstances scouts for potential new members, this could potentially be very dangerous.
people could fit into multiple roles.
i would say a good sized community for a stationary group would be about 40ish.
i would say if you were going to get a good small community, defiantly want the skilled trade people teaching the trades to others so the group wouldn't be hindered greatly by loss.

I'm more partial to the JTF2 but that's national bias. Still well founded though.
Either way these have been some interesting answers and it seems like everybody sees the need for specialized skills but on the flip sides what skills do you have yourself that would make you valuable to your own squad? Let's not forget that each of us have an individual role that needs to be fulfilled. Personally I would forgo the leadership position unless absolutely necessary as I would like someone to blame if everything goes to shit. On the other hand if there was no alternative I wouldn't hesitate to take up that mantle.

But to be the boss, you have to have the
that will make people do without hestiation what you tell them to do, even in stressful situations. so it might be a matter of ability, not "oh, ok, i can be the leader" thingy.
hell, i have almost no survivalist skills... but im not dumb so i might be useful:P
btw, Are the wings on fire?

Fair enough. Would any of them be female? Otherwise that could devolve into a situation like in 28 days later.

Apple MacBook Air MC966LL/A 13.3 LED Notebook - Intel Core i5 1.70 GHz - 4 GB RAM - Intel GMA HD 3000 Graphics - Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - 1440 x 900 Display - Bluetooth
Thin, light, durable. Thank you, flash storage.Even at less than an inch thin, MacBook Air sets a pretty high standard - by making flash storage standard. Flash chips are very small, allowing MacBook Air to be incredibly thin and light. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable, and quiet. And because we place the flash chips directly on the logic board, they take up much less space - about 90 percent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. That's mobility mastered.

With an impressive array of notebooks, desktop computers, and servers, System76 preloads a mostly stock version of the the current iteration of Ubuntu Linux and the System76 driver, which adds support for any included devices not supported by Ubuntu proper, such as microphones or integrated memory card readers. Our Darter Ultra came with the following specs:
The Darter came via DHL in a well packed box. The packaging was comparable to a similar Dell notebook, and secured the laptop very well. There is a "quick start" page included, but the rest of the documentation is digital.
The first thing you'll notice on the Darter is the number of ports it has. The power is connected on the back, but all sides except the front have a USB port, which is great for multi-peripheral support. The laptop is solid enough - it does not feel cheap - and it's an attractive white color reminiscent of another manufacturer's 13 inch offering. Around the sides, you have a PCMCIA slot, headphone jacks, an external display connector, a locking point, an S-VIDEO jack, a modem, an ethernet port, a mini firewire jack, the disk writer, and an SD card slot. The machine is full of options.
Upon first boot, a configuration program runs. I entered my name and pressed enter, and had some difficulty when I realized that the field was for username and I had typed my full name. There was no error when I attempted to use a space, it just refreshed the screen. Once I realized my error, I was in and the default desktop, at 1280x800, was the gorgeous Ubuntu Edgy Eft. My first order of business was flipping through several of the included Ubuntu/Gnome applications. Since the Darter comes pre-loaded with what is essentially a vanilla Ubuntu install, I will not get into the details of reviewing the specific applications. Suffice it to say that performance on the laptop is admirable; applications that load slowly still load slowly on the system, and applications capable of loading quickly do so.
The array of problems I experienced with the Darter all showed themselves relatively quickly. They were all fairly minor and were mostly distractions with simple fixes. Nonetheless, they might stump some who don't know where to go for support.
My first order of business was getting online. It was so easy to click System > Administration > Network to find the network administration too. Imagine my surprise when I found that the system did not automatically search for wireless networks. In short, I had to know the SSID of the network in order to join it.
Shortly thereafter, I found that there were 2 DNS servers and a search domain listed in my network properties - on first boot. One of the biggest things that I would focus on is out-of-the-box connectivity. I was able to use a wired ethernet cable to connect immediately.
Linux has had a long, sordid history with notebook hibernation and suspend. First off, I don't know that the average user knows the difference. When I tried to hibernate, the system looked as if it was shutting down, led to an error message, and then finally shut off successfully. Pressing the power button resembles a new boot, complete with the Intel splash screen and then the Ubuntu loading screen. Furthermore, the internet connection is hit or miss when the laptop resumes. To be clear: on the edgy unit I got, hibernate did work, it just gave an error on resume, and the internet connection restoration was shaky. With so much work going in to cleaning up the boot and shutdown process, it's a bit of a shame to see the hibernate process look so unfinished. I'll touch on this again later: there are no errors on upgrade to Feisty, but the display is still non-graphical. Suspend mostly worked for me. This is the closest I've seen a Linux machine come to pulling off these processes successfully.

To those of you that have only seen it on TV shows and movies, Las Vegas truly is the City of Sin. With all the gambling and debauchery that goes on there, it's no wonder that the phrase "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" was coined.
But, even with so much madness going on, not everything should remain a secret from the rest of the world. Take Vegas resident Keoni Virenes' 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 for example. To flip the script, keeping this show-stopper a secret from the general public would be actually be a sin.
Before we get into Keoni's Evo, it's important to dig deeper into his psyche to figure out where his passion for cars has come from. Way back when, Keoni used to go to Volkswagen shows and was inspired by how uniquely built each car was. He wanted to get in on this action and was dedicated to turning heads and racking up trophies. Neither are easy tasks in a land of sport compacts. When he picked up his Evo, he knew there was no turning back. And, honestly, who can blame him?
Fresh off the assembly line, the ninth-gen Evo packs a mean punch with its two-litre turbocharged 4G63 motor and all-wheel drive powertrain. And, while his car started off as a daily driver, like many of us, Keoni wasn't satisfied with bone stock. Getting linked up with the members of Team Hybrid car club convinced him to take his vision to the next level and build a "show and go" beast.
He first tapped into the potential of his Evo with basic engine bolt-ons and rims, but quickly realized that wouldn't be enough to feed his passion. Since Keoni's Evo began its life in Tarmac Black, it wasn't cutting it at nighttime car shows where it was practically invisible. The biggest transformation began with the aesthetics and Keoni enlisted the help of his Hybrid teammates get some extreme body work done. Though its body lines already give it a chiseled look, a full Voltex body kit with wide fenders and a 59-inch rear wing from Evasive Motorsports made Keoni's car look downright mean. Of course, an aggressive body kit just wouldn't be enough. Keoni took his car to Pacific Custom Paint to get a full spray job in a retina-burning House of Kolor Sunrise Pearl with ICE coating, making his Evo look like it just rolled off of the floor of the Tokyo Auto Salon.
But, body work alone doesn't make a car worthy, so Keoni started digging into the 4G63 motor that has near unlimited potential. A Turbo Force Green turbocharger mated to a GT-Spec tubular manifold replaces the stock units to force more pressurized air into the combustion chambers. With all the additional heat from the larger turbo, replacing the factory intercooler with a massive HKS Type R was a must along with a grip of Mishimoto cooling accessories. While most of the 4G63 internals remained stock, Keoni did drop in a set of HKS cams, adjustable sprockets and JE pistons for extra insurance.
All that jargon equates to a dyno-tested 450 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque in a street car that runs the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds at 120 mph with an overall top speed of 172 mph. Not too shabby for a car that can be daily driven with a full interior and audio system. Oh, lest we forget to mention the audio system. Keoni isn't taking home his seven trophies just from looks and horsepower. Pop the trunk and he has a ridiculous Sony audio setup that would have wake people up from the next city over if cranked up to full blast. From the XAV-64BT head unit through the XM ZZK3301 and XM ZR204 amplifiers and down to the XS-LD106PS subwoofers, there's no question as to how intense this system is.
Though his project isn't near completion, a humble Keoni credits this build to his sponsors and the other members of Team Hybrid for helping him get through this long process. By the time you're reading this, there's little doubt he'll have racked up double-digit trophies with many more to come. We hope he has a lot of storage space. So, be honest, aren't you glad this Las Vegas gem wasn't kept secret from you? We probably broke some "bro code" rules by exposing it, but we're ready to deal with the consequences.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 13, 2004) - The Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced today that East Tennessee State University sophomore Oscar Posada (Valencia, Venezuela) ranked 33 in its Division I Men's Tennis National Singles Rankings. Earlier this week, the ITA announced that the East Tennessee State University men's team was ranked 72 among Division I team's.
Posada broke into the national rankings earlier in the 2004-05 athletic year with a preseason ranking of 105. He went on to have a strong fall performance, compiling a 10-4 singles record. During this period, Posada became the first Buccaneer to compete in the main draw of an ITA national tournament since Gustavo Gomez in 2000 when he won three qualifying matches to advance to the main draw of the ITA Icy/Hot ITA All-American Tournament. In the main draw, Posada won his first match against No. 14 Alex Slovic from the University of Washington but then fell to No. 60 John Isner.
Posada also saw success in his freshman campaign, as he helped the ETSU squad achieve a prefect 13-0 record in Southern Conference play and their third NCAA team championship appearance in school history.
At the SoCon Men's Tennis Championship he went undefeated and was named the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Posada was also named the SoCon's Freshman of the Year and was named to the Southern Conference All-Conference first team in both singles and doubles.
His overall record of 27-10 in singles includes a 20-4 record in dual competition playing at the No. 1 and 2 slots for the Bucs. His wins include matches against opponents from No. 54 UT, No. 53 Louisville, and No. 56 Old Dominion as well as individually ranked No. 77 Andrew Hamar of Wake Forest 5-7, 6-4, (13-11).
Posada and the Buccaneer men's tennis team await the start of the regular season on January 21 in Richmond, Va.

Yeah, a web based front-end will make it very easy to integrate. We'll want Asterisk to use the contact/phonebook. at the moment we're storing them in LDAP. Do you know if these work with LDAP too? I don't think we're heavily commited to LDAP, since we haven't gotten far on teh asterisk integration yet.
Vali (vali.g) is working on the integration with A.M.P. This should help a lot. We were using Asterisk's database configuration plugin, which doesn't seem very popular and isn't hardened and crashes a lot. AMP uses the normal conf files, so this should make it more stable.Dan.t is taking over the Asterisk coding. This is still his first week, and he's starting part time while he finishes some prior committments.

Dieter Rams
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful. - Dieter Rams
No designer has had a stronger direct influence upon modern consumer industrial design than Dieter Rams. Whether it's an Apple iPhone, a Bowers & Wilkins speaker or a Plus Minus Zero CD player, the shadow of Dieter Rams' designs still loom across the landscape of today's best designs. Rams was the head of design at Braun, the German consumer manufacturer, in which he emerged as one of the most influentials industrial designers in the late 20th century. All the products were elegant, minimalistic, easy to use and at the same time, they conveyed a strong visual language.
We covered some of Dieter Rams' work here and here before, but this post is more about the man and his designs.
In the early 1960s the Federal Republic of Germany gradually emerged from the isolation resulting from National Socialism and World War II. America was now no longer only a model to emulate, but also an export market, primarily for German cars made by Mercedes, Volkswagen or Porsche. And Electronics.
Good Design in Ten Principles.
When he arrived at Braun, Rams applied his architectural skills to the design of exhibition sets and offices, but became increasingly interested in products. In 1956 he worked with the Ulm tutor, Hans Gugelot, on the development of the SK4 radio and record player. Abandoning the traditional wooden cabinet, they devised an unapologetically industrial metal case for the SK4 with two pale wooden sides. The operating panel was positioned on the top next to the turntable, rather than hidden away at the side. Originally the cover was to have been made of metal, but it vibrated too much in tests and was replaced with transparent plastic which exposed the mechanics of the record player. Rather than being repulsed by the sight of electrical apparatus, consumers considered it chic and transparent lids became an industry standard. The plastic lid also gave the SK4 its nickname – "Snow White's Coffin".
Dieter Rams remained design director of Braun until 1995 when he was succeeded by Peter Schneider. During his forty years at Braun, he developed products to be manufactured at vast scale and used daily by millions of people, yet he remained as provocative and questioning as ever in his quest for "good design".
Modern products from the likes of Apple, Bowers & Wilkins and plusminuszero, all reveal the strong influence of Dieter Rams in their designs.
"I think that good designers must always be avant-gardists, always one step ahead of the times," he said in a speech to the Braun supervisory board in 1980. "They should – and must – question everything generally thought to be obvious. They must have an intuition for people's changing attitudes. For the reality in which they live, for their dreams, their desires, their worries, their needs, their living habits. They must also be able to assess realistically the opportunities and bounds of technology."
His design mantra could be translated in 10 principles:
• Good design is innovative.
• Good design makes a product useful.
• Good design is aesthetic.
• Good design helps us to understand a product.
• Good design is unobtrusive.
• Good design is honest.
• Good design is durable.
• Good design is consequent to the last detail.
• Good design is concerned with the environment.
• Good design is as little design as possible.
This is exactly, his approach to "good design", and you can read it in his book Less and More. Very few companies these days adhere to these principles, one of them is Apple (as Rams himselfs mentions in the film Objectified). There's no denying you can clearly see the long shadow of influence of Dieter Ram's work in Apple's Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, Jonathan Ive's work for Apple.
It's disappointing to note nowadays much of consumer electronics are seemingly designed to be disposable items, with a cheap look and feel, limited durability. Technological advances are made by leaps and bound each year, so what you are buying today will likely be considered obsolete next year, perhaps explaining why manufactures don't go the extra mile to infuse more "industrial design" into everyday products. We only hope more companies begin listening and following Dieter Ram's 10 principles of design, with the hopes 25 years from now, people will look back for inspiration from today's designs.

Markezich family races for a good cause
- Written by Deborah Stone
The Christian camp, which is associated with Baptist Network Northwest and based in Carnation, offers day and overnight camp experiences for children and teens.
During the summer, it hosts 200 campers per week, who come to swim, boat, skateboard and hone their skills in a variety of other sports and activities.
"We have kids from all over Puget Sound who come to our camp," says Kimberly Mallory, Gilead's program director. "Many are repeat campers and some go on to become counselors themselves."
For those who cannot afford the $260 fee for the week-long sessions, the camp helps defray the cost through scholarships.
This year, to enable more kids in need to participate, Mallory and her staff were motivated to organize a 5K River Run.
The event, which was held on Memorial Day, was a solid success.
"This was the first time we did anything like this," comments Mallory. "We were hoping for 200 runners so we were thrilled that 262 people showed up to participate." She adds, "We raised over $8,000 and all of it will go to scholarships because the entire cost of the race was covered by local businesses. We had an outpouring of support from the community and everyone was so generous with their donations of prizes, gift cards and cash. We are so thankful to everyone who helped make the event a success and we definitely plan to do it again next year on Memorial Day."
Among those who participated in the race were a number of area residents. Of note is the Markezich family, who gets props for having nine members in their group. Ron and Debbie Markezich and their four kids: Jordan, 14, Cambria, 12, twins Andrea and Olivia,10, along with Ron's father, Ron Sr., and mother Beverly, and last, but not least, the family's dog, Meeko, all competed in the race.
Four of the clan took home medals in their age groups. Ron and son Jordan won first place, Ron Sr. got second and Andrea came in third. Though this was the first time the family participated in a race together, Ron, Ron Sr., Jordan, Andrea and Olivia are all runners of their own accord.
"My husband ran for Notre Dame," says Debbie Markezich. "He was All-American for cross-country in 1988." She adds, "Jordan competes for his school, Bellevue Christian, where he is the top runner. And the twins are on the track team for their school, East Ridge Elementary."
Debbie's background is figure skating. She competed in the World University Games and the U.S. Nationals back in the mid-1980s.
Cambria is following in her mom's footsteps as a figure skater and is already in the competition circuit.
And then there's Ron Sr., or "Papa," as he is affectionately called. He took up running when his son, Ron, turned 12, and he's been at it ever since.
Beverly, or "Nana," is no slouch either, though she prefers to walk, not run, and had no trouble finishing the 5K.
As for Meeko the family dog, Debbie says, "He's very athletic and he goes running with my husband all the time. He and Andrea were a team during the event, so he technically came in third along with her."
Jordan describes the course as flat with a few minor hills. He comments, "It was a pretty good field, especially for a first-time race. I had some decent competition, however, I wasn't real happy with my time. Even though I came in first, I could have done better. My personal best is 19 minutes and I did the Gilead in 20:15.
He adds, "But the pancake breakfast afterwards was great!"
The Markezich family plans to make the event an annual tradition. Debbie says, "It was so much fun to do it together and we really like the idea of the money going for a good cause."

Pilot Projects
Starting in 2011, UNITAR is assisting three countries in undertaking pilot projects aimed to develop and strengthen capacities to address Nanotechnology and Manufactured Nanomaterials. These projects, which are undertaken with funding support from the Government of Switzerland, are generating experiences and lessons learned that have been transmitted for deliberation at the third International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM-3), in September 2012; presentations from that side-event are available below. Further information on the projects taking place in Nigeria, Thailand, and Uruguay, can also be found in the concept note.
UNITAR has developed guidance and training materials to ensure that participating countries are aware of the current state of the field, and some of the possible actions that can take place at the national level. The document can be dowloaded here.

Because�fewer county officers will be on the streets due to funding issues, the board began looking at its options after last month's meeting. The village is currently patroled by two part-time Branch County Sheriff�s�Office officers. The village entered into a contract with the county in 2002 after disbanding the village police department. The village�s budget for police coverage in 2012-13 was $161,434, which went directly to the county. Scott Olney, one of the BCSO officer who currently serves in a part-time role with the village, said things were still up in the air with coverage for the county. �When you have your own police department you can tailor it to what you want,� he said. �I don�t want to see there not be an officer on duty here. My kids go to school here.� With that, the board began discussion on the issue and ultimately decided to go forward with planning. Trustee Mike Hagaman said he was personally ready to move on the issue after no representatives from the community showed up at the meeting to voice their opinions. Trustee Bill Price suggested the board should hold a public hearing on the�matter at a later date. After�a�period of�discussion, the board voted on the police chief�s job description and salary. The vote passed, allowing Village Manager Eric Zuzga to post the position. The position will be posted today and resumes will be accepted through 5 p.m. Dec. 27. Interviews�will take place the week of Jan. 7 and the board will have a public hearing on the issue at its Jan. 15 regular meeting. Zuzga said if the board chooses to go ahead with funding the department after the meeting, he hopes to have a police chief in place by the end of January. �I already have three resumes and we haven�t posted the position,� he said. The police chief�s salary will be $45,000 annually plus benefits. Zuzga said at the high end benefits for the position would�cost an additional $14,000 per year. Trustee Larry Sayler agreed with the move to pursue the formation of the department. �We are elected to do what�s best for the community,� he said. �I don�t think we want to be in the situation long where we have no (police) coverage.� The vision is for the chief�position to be a working one with the officer in the community 80 to 90 percent of the time. Zuzga said he has talked with Branch County Sheriff-Elect John Pollack about purchasing the car that the part-time officers are currently�using in Quincy. Olney said the car has 107,000 miles on it,�has�the needed equipment and is in relatively good shape. Zuzga said if the board passes funding for the department, it will begin talks of hiring a deputy after the first of the year. He said it might be something that is worked into the 2013-14 budget process, which begins in April.

When a government prepares for a natural disaster its on-going communication strategy is put to the test. It has to notify people of an evacuation plan, where there is food and water, and communicate with its emergency teams. Recently, Australia experienced a number of natural disasters that exposed the inadequacy of its alert system. This has served as a wake-up call to many countries in the APAC region, and governments are taking a page from businesses to change its communications model. So, can this be achieved?
Today, like business in the private sector, there are disparate departments across government agencies that make it difficult to convey messages internally and to the community at large. It's like going to the library and checking out a book, but the librarian having no knowledge that you also owe for outstanding parking fines because the billing department hadn't made them aware of this detail, or wasting thousands of dollars by notifying everyone of a new senior citizen facility when really only the senior citizens themselves cared about knowing. To solve these challenges, government agencies need to adopt a customer relationship management strategy (CRM) that focuses on multi-channel communications to increase the speed at which they can engage with the community.
