As we known, Sony Vegas Pro is a video editing software.And MXF, as the most excellent wrapper format with the widest compatibility so far, is used by most professional camcorders; Canon XF305 is such a camcorder.
Canon XF305 is a successful example in the XF series camcorders, it record vivid HD videos in MPEG-2 compression. MXF is excellent, however, it cannot be directly edit on some software, like Sony Vegas Pro, for example:

Class of 2012: Symphony Vineyard
Writer and wine columnist John Schreiner is Canada's most prolific author of books on wine.
LOVELY ENTRY JOHN. It turned out that Linda and I were at SYMPHONY, for a Cuban Trio Concert "Fuego de Cuba", visiting Lamont and Pat.
As we hinted to you earlier, their GEWURST is spendid. Imagine Gewurtz ripening in Victoria: it takes winegrower skill, and fidelity to Terroir, to make a Noble Wine like that.
(ok, ok, Gewurtz is not a Noble Vine, strictly speaking, but the wine sure has the FINESSE!)
We just tasted the new LEON MILLOT. It certainly has LEGS (literally). Unfortunately I could only get 1/2 a case... and that was the only fault I found with it.
Mark my words, Lamont will fill the shoes of John Wrinch, of Starling Lane, whose Foch (with some L.M. spice) remains my favorite Island red: it has moxie!
John 'tapped' Lamont and Pat, who will take over his section of Starling Lane vineyard next year, so Linda and I will remain their devoted Fans.
To expand on Max's comment, Symphony will be harvesting Marechal Foch and Leon Millot this fall from the Wrinch vineyard. Next year, Symphony also will get Ortega and Pinot Noir from that source. Symphony will prove to be an excellent successor to Starling Lane.

A record number of school children from the length and breadth of the UK are taking part in School Swimathon 2015, with thousands of pupils already registered to take part in this year's event. The number of pupils is expected to rise further still as classes continue their Spring Term swimming lessons.
Now in its third year, School Swimathon is a great way to inspire pupils to swim further than they ever have before. Created by the ASA and The Swimathon Foundation, the charity behind Swimathon, the world's biggest annual fundraising swim, School Swimathon is a swimming programme for school children to improve their technique and water confidence.
The School Swimathon challenge launched in January when the pupils of mixed swimming abilities swam as far as they could with the results recorded online via the School Swimathon website. Since then schools have been using their weekly national curriculum swimming lessons to prepare for the challenge of improving their initial distance in their final lesson in April. Once the challenge has been undertaken each pupil will receive a certificate and badge to celebrate their achievement.
Duncan Goodhew, MBE commented, "Swimming is such an important life skill, and we want to see as many children as possible leaving school with the ability to swim. School Swimathon, with the support of The Swimathon Foundation and the ASA, is a great programme to support teachers in primary schools across the country. I'm really proud to be part of those that support the swimmers of the future."

Howard County Democrats, most of whom cruised to easy re-election, will return to office flush with leftover campaign cash, according to the latest state reports.
County Executive Ken Ulman, a Democrat, reported $486,834 in cash on hand after the election. His leftovers amount to more than any candidate ever spent to run for Howard's top job until his first campaign in 2006.
Ulman, who won with 62 percent of the vote, raised a record total of $1.4 million over the four-year cycle since January 2007, according to state reports. In time covered under this latest post-election report, Ulman collected only $40,385, with $8,000 of that coming from Camilla Carroll and her brother, Phillip, the owners of Doughoregan Manor. Ulman took back an $8,000 loan unspent by his ally, County Councilwoman Mary Kay Sigaty, in her primary battle with Alan Klein and sent $10,000 to the Team 13 Slate, plus $2,000 to unsuccessful County Council candidate Dr. Zaneb Beams.

Nothing I tried worked. I flashed the router with Linksys's recent firmware upgrade v3.03.6 and it connected with no trouble at all, infact I am using it now to connect from the basement. Anyway, I have seen posts on the subject but no remedies. Thanks in advance. Shepp

President Obama surprised political observers with a strong push to increase the minimum wage in his State of the Union address last week. Obama called on Congress to increase the federal minimum wage to $9/hour by 2015, from its current level of $7.25. In his post-SOTU tour, he has made the issue a central tenet of his economic proposals. Obama's push, however, isn't about the particular merits of a mandated wage hike. Rather, its purpose is to provide an issue around which Democrats can organize for the 2014 midterms. Its a playbook they've used before.
In 2005-06, the minimum wage was a major political issue, both in Congress and the states. The economy was humming, unemployment was low and the federal minimum wage hadn't been raised in 20 years. Labor unions successfully placed initiatives to increase the minimum wage on the ballot in 6 battleground states; AZ, CO, MT, MO, NV and OH. Unions spent millions supporting the initiative, while ACORN spearheaded the ground game, organizing around the issue and registering new voters.
Labor has always supported the minimum wage as a policy issue. In 2006, however, they realized it was an organizing issue that could be used to boost turnout among voters sympathetic to them.
At the time, John Podesta, President of the Center for American Progress, a key labor ally, described the issue to the Columbus Dispatch as both the "politics of the common good" and "a motivator for people to register to vote and get out to vote."
ACORN registered more than 500k new voters in the initiative states. It claimed to have knocked on over 2 million doors in these states and engaged with 700k low-income and young voters. It held rallies, canvasses and phone banks in support of the issue.
That November, Democrats picked up 5 Senate seats to take control of the chamber. Three of these seats were in states with a wage initiative on the ballot. In the House, Democrats picked up 31 seats, with 4 of these pick-ups coming from wage initiative states. Even in states without an initiative, however, Democrats used the issue to frame an economic argument against the GOP.
The Democrats' chief disadvantage going into 2014 is that the lower turnout of mid-term elections generally favors Republicans, whose voters are more reliable voters. To overcome this, the Democrats will need an issue to mobilize its voters. In 2006, growing opposition to the Iraq War and, to a large extent, the minimum wage issue gave them on organizing edge in key races.
The GOP House will not raise the minimum wage. Obama and the Democrats want to frame the 2014 elections around this issue, to animate less reliable voters with a reason to vote. It's not clear, though, it will work as well as it did in 2006. A minimum wage hike is a tougher sell in a weak economy with chronic unemployment. It's also more likely that complications with implementation of ObamaCare will dominate the oxygen in the midterms.
Still, Obama has made his opening play for the coming midterms. GOP needs to be prepared.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
Is Kate Nash a pop star? A celebrity? I suppose so, but to me she's also a feminist, a worthy inheritor of riot grrrl's legacy and a very clever, funny, brave woman. I say brave because it is her fearlessness in the face of the tabloids, the male-dominated music industry and anonymous internet trolls that has made her a heroine to thousands of girls and young women around the world.
Kate is not the same teenager who rose to fame with the bittersweet anti-love song Foundations in 2007 – she stepped out from behind her piano a long time ago and it's been fascinating and exciting to watch her evolve into one of the most intriguing, honest female voices in music. Watching her perform live with her all-girl band is an exhilarating experience and the devotion she inspires in her fans is clear. Free association poetry, grunge, punk, rap and du-wop are all skillfully whipped into songs that are catchy, moving and balls-to-the-wall rock.
There's no edit button on Kate – she talks fast, ideas and theories spilling out, always witty, whip-smart and focussed. She also puts her money where her mouth is and set up her after-school rock club for girls in 2011 after being inspired by Kathleen Hanna's US rock camp for girls. So here's where Kate is right now….
I wanted to make fashion the main focus of this interview because I think you have a really interesting relationship with the fashion industry and I'm interested in how it's evolved since you started working with Rebekah Roy...
Working with Rebekah is amazing because it's opened up the fashion industry for me - I never really got my head around it before that. I think Rebekah totally gets me and my ever-evolving style and what I enjoy wearing at different times for different reasons. She makes it fun. She has an amazing attitude and is extremely supportive.
One of my favourite things that she always says to me whenever I rip a pair of tights, which I do ALL the time and feel bad about is, "It's only tights". And it just puts the whole thing into perspective. It's like, this isn't about pressure. This is about fun. It's kind of silly and we like to play dress up.
At the same time fashion is extremely important to me because it helps me express myself. It gives me a sense of identity and freedom and confidence. Rebekah educates me about the industry, about up-and-coming designers, which I love because I enjoy supporting new talent and artists, and she has an incredible work ethic. She's definitely changed that world for me and invited me in.
You did LFW in February with Rebekah – how was that different to the first time you did the shows?
Rebekah made London Fashion Week fun for me. I think before that I was always intimidated by it. I felt like I wouldn't really fit in, as I always feel like an outsider. What I realised is that Fashion Week is about celebrating being an outsider. Everyone is trying to look as unique as possible and be an individual. The freaks and geeks and weirdos and outsiders are embraced within the fashion world. I've realised that more and more. People really go to town on their looks and it makes the whole thing kind of like a performance and a show.
There are a lot of fun things to see visually, even just walking around. I was also able to go backstage and see how hard people were working and meet some emerging designers. These things make it more relatable to me as someone that supports the arts. It made it about real people being creative, and then a fun visually exciting performance. I can relate to those things and feel comfortable within that world and in turn enjoy the experience.
Which designers are you excited about wearing at the moment and do you wear them 'in real life' as well as on stage?
I love Dagda. They are crazy and fun and make you feel like you're in your own wild world. I love how they embrace colour and texture and don't seem to be constricted by any rules. You feel liberated and fun wearing their creations. I also LOVE Lazy Oaf so much! Their colours and sense of fun - I like.
You wear a lot of vintage too – where are your favourite vintage stores?
Paper Dress in Shoreditch, Beyond Retro in Shoreditch, Beacons Closet in Brooklyn, NY and American Rag in LA.
As you get older do you feel you're refining your personal style or do you like to play around and switch it up, playing dress up and trying out different looks?
I don't know really. I think my style and tastes change all of the time. Sometimes I feel like I've nailed it, but most of the time I'm confused and still figuring it out. When I'm happy fashion is the most fun because it seems easier when I feel confident and secure. Although, being defensive and pissed off can be great wardrobe inspiration too. I like to mess around.
I have too much of a sense of honour to stick to one thing, I sometimes buy clothes that I think are funny, which doesn't always equal cool, ya know? Like for example my Millenium to-the-floor, covered in silver sparkly 2000s dress that my sister hates, but I just think is hilarious. I still feel like a kid going into a fancy dress shop when I go shopping. I also definitely change my look depending on my mood.
And what kind of things inspire you to experiment?
Books like Valley of the Dolls. I'm really into characters and sci-fi thrillers. I'll fall in love with a character from a movie and want to dress like that character: Matilda, Ghost World, Welcome to the Dollhouse, any old 50s movies where the women look hard and soft at the same time. The TCM channel is great for that. I love Joan Jett, Blondie, Polystyrene, Abba, Kathleen Hanna, It's easier to dress if you have a character or person in mind, and any Hitchcock movie.
How's your after school rock club for girls going?
I've been on a little bit of a break from it over the summer, making my next record and touring. But as of September, I will be back in the schools and should be finishing off the project at the end of the year in a really unique way that gives the girls a chance to showcase what they have achieved and how doing this made them feel. It's something I am really excited about. More news on that sooooon!...
We love the 'new' sound (not really new to anyone who knows your music!) – how do you feel about the responses, both positive and negative?
I think it's been really important, this reaction. It's been both funny and shocking to me. In many ways I'm happy it has highlighted the abuse that people get away with on the internet. Some of the sexist comments have been really eye opening. I think it's ridiculous that a woman is not allowed to change and grow and develop her sound and style, yet it is acceptable for a man to beat a woman and come back having "changed" and is welcomed back into the industry with open arms, interesting observation.
I also think the negative stuff goes perfectly with the whole point of the song. It's like yeah, ok, you are afraid, you are conservative, you have no idea what this means and it scares you. There's been a lot more talk of the negative reaction because I guess it is more exciting for press to report on that, but there has been so much positive too from my fans and they're the most important people in all of this. As long as I am still empowering them and inspiring them to be themselves, then that's all that matters.
I don't give a shit about the sort of losers that write hateful messages on the internet. I mean who are these people? Have you ever met anyone that does that? Would you befriend someone who does that? It's really bizarre. I mean I hate some stuff too but I would never publicly fuck with them or try or write someone death threats because I didn't like a song. It's ridiculous.
It's great though because it helps highlight my causes and issues with a lot of British celebrity culture that sees society celebrating and encouraging bullying. I think we're setting terrible standards for young people. How can an adult that supports and buys into a culture of crappy gossip magazines, slagging women off for being fat/skinny/old/ugly or watch the final episode of the X-Factor and laugh at people with possible mental health problems or the elderly and then turn around to their kids and say, "Don't bully each other". It's a double standard.
I've been reading The Beauty Myth, which is depressing because the issues that were being talked about in the 90s are still present, if not worse today in 2012. Images of beauty are used against women like never before. I think things seriously need to be challenged and I'm willing to stick my neck on the line and get attacked for doing that, just because someone has to fucking do it, and I'm sick of talking to young people about how much they hate themselves because of the pressure put on them by media. It's disgusting.
You work with some very strong, inspiring women, has that helped shaped your own personal definition of feminism?
I think that ever since I entered the music industry 6 years ago, feminism became extremely important to me. It gave me a sense of hope, and helped me deal with a lot of the sexism that I came across and continue to come across. I love working with strong, inspiring women and they all help to give me confidence in what I do. Getting the opinions of different types of women keeps me open-minded and challenges my own ideas, which is extremely important for self-growth.
What are the best and worst things about being on the road?
The worst things are definitely getting sick of eating out every night and trying really hard to be healthy, hangovers and when you stay in crappy hotels that have mysterious stains.
What's next… a holiday?!
No holiday for me! I am currently in LA finalising a few projects. I came here primarily to finish working on a song with Willow Smith, then I am releasing an EP, so I will be releasing and touring that and I'll be doing some fun things during London Fashion Week and working hard to promote my new material.
What are you listening to at the moment?
Shuga, FIDLAR, Supercute!, Grimes, Mariah Carey, Willow Smith
And finally, the same five questions we ask everyone:
The best thing about being a woman?
Being emotionally expressive, overly analytical, thoughtful and women's fashion.
And the worst?
Being oppressed by society still and held back and the judgment about the way we look.
What's the most selfish thing you've ever done?
I remember being really young and understanding that I was being selfish a couple of times and it really stuck with me. Once when I was in a shopping centre, I was with my mum and little sister and we were tired as we had been out all day and I was cranky and bored. My mum was paying for parking and my younger sister told my mum that she really wanted the receipt - it was one of those kid moments where for some reason the receipt is a fun thing to keep for no reason at all. Serious boredom.
Well I was bored too and for some reason I got really angry and jealous that my sister had found some fun in this moment of boredom and tiredness so as soon as the receipt popped out of the machine I grabbed it and instantly scrunched it up in my hands and dropped it on the floor. It was a real 'fuck you'; 5-year old style and I remember the look of shock on my mum's face at how mean I had been for no reason. I also felt quite shocked at myself for having done it. I only did it because I was jealous and I didn't want her to get what she wanted or have any fun.
Another moment I remember was probably the last time I had a tantrum (Red head = LOTS of tantrums as a kid). My parents would always struggle with me kicking and screaming and crying and I would get told off A LOT. I'd got past the age of tantrums really being acceptable and I was screaming and kicking and my mum was putting me to bed and I accidentally kicked my mum right in the face. Instead of telling me off she just held her face and then walked away because I had actually hurt and upset her.
It was one of my first memories of self-awareness. I knew what I was doing was wrong, I wasn't really upset about anything, I was just being a brat and because of that I ended up accidentally hurting my mum.
What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
I would probably tell myself about cooler bands, not to hate myself as much and not to be so afraid.
Who's your heroine?
I think my mum is probably the woman that inspires me most. She is a huge influence on me and has shaped me as a woman. She always challenges my opinions and even when I argue with her about it she makes me think outside of my own head. She and my dad taught my sisters and me to be political and open-minded.
My mum is basically the strongest person that I know. She is a tough woman, an amazing nurse and carries a lot on her shoulders, but is still a very loving and caring mum. I know she would do anything for my sisters and me.

GREENPOINT — Greenpoint is one step closer to accessing $19.5M settlement funds from Exxon Mobil — and a longtime local non-profit is leading the way.
The state's Greenpoint Environmental Benefits Program — which disperses $19.5 million to the community for environmental projects after decades of oil spills into Newtown Creek — will be led by the local North Brooklyn Development Corporation along with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, officials announced Friday.
The funds come from a record-breaking federal court settlement to be paid by ExxonMobil, which spilled 17 million gallons of oil into Newtown Creek in the 1970s that has seeped into the neighborhood over the years.
The settlement, reached in 2010, stipulated that the money be used for local environmental projects.
The two groups' appointment as "general administrator" to distribute the funding comes just in time for a community open house Monday evening about the project.
The open house, at the Polish and Slavic Center Monday from 5 — 8 p.m., will be a chance for locals to propose environmental projects and to meet members of the 39-year-old North Brooklyn Development Corporation and of the Washington D.C.-based National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who announced the state's choice of its general administrator, explained that the partnership between a local and national group to administer the funds would provide a well-rounded perspective.
"This partnership will ensure close and continuing collaboration with the community and help achieve a cleaner, healthier future for Greenpoint," Schneiderman said in the email announcement. "Directing $19.5 million toward Greenpoint's priorities means this program will help reverse the legacy of environmental abuse and neglect in this vibrant neighborhood."

Tahmoh Penikett Talks Dollhouse Premiere, CharacterMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Tahmoh Penikett, beloved Battlestar Galactica for his role as "Helo" on that show, is coming aboard Dollhouse as FBI agent Paul Ballard.
The actor spoke to TV Guide about the highly-anticipated show, which premieres tomorrow night:
TVGuide.com: How excited are you that the premiere of Dollhouse is almost here?
Tahmoh Penikett: I'm really excited. I'll tell you, I'm still surprised — and a lot of us are — that we're already there. It's amazing how fast [filming] the first season went by. There are a lot of things that happened over the season. It was tumultuous at times with all the speculation, and the press, and the hype and everything. I don't know. I'm just really surprised that we're almost mid-February and that we're done. We finished 13 episodes.
TVGuide.com: Your character, Paul, is kind of a loner; his fellow agents make fun of him for his interest in the Dollhouse. What's the real motivation for his quest?
Penikett: I think Joss is really trying to establish that in the first episode — there's no quitting with this guy. The only reason he's in a bad position at the FBI is because of his ambition and his sometimes heavy-handed tactics. He has to bend the rules sometimes to get his way. But that's one of the most compelling and interesting things about this character.
Why is he so eager to do things? Why does he need to do things by himself? Has he always been this way? Has he always alienated himself from other people? Once he sees the face of the Dollhouse — that being Caroline/Echo — he's even more driven to bring it down and expose it. Something clicks in him.

Giving your main character a name like "Otelo" lets an audience know what it's in for right away. This South African movie's Otelo (Jafta Mamabolo) is a teenager in the impoverished, violent township of Lamontville, on the eve of Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
With his friends New Year (Thomas Gumede) and Mandla (Sihle Xaba), Otelo discovers a way to escape: surfing the waves on the world-famous beaches of nearby Durban. But an Othello story must have its Iago, and Mandla becomes murderously jealous of his friend's surfing prowess. Mandla's revenge, when it comes, is horrifying, focusing on Otelo's puppyish younger brother Ntwe (Tshepang Mohlomi).
The deliberately classic, predetermined structure means the movie neither carries much suspense nor needs a great deal of background information. So the frequent narration (framed as reminiscences from the adult New Year) is mostly an irritant, bringing up the "freedom" of surfing with numbing repetitiveness.
At times, director Sara Blecher seems to be letting the fascination of her setting do the work that the script can't — as with the lights of Durban glittering beyond the squalid streets of the township.
Somehow, mostly through the impassioned performances of its young actors, the film finds its footing in the third act, as the narration goes quiet and tragedy unfolds with precision, even elegance. Blecher, rather than closing the film on a moment of bleak despair, finally offers a bit of hope that feels earned.

Death toll from the 7.0-magnitude earthquake which struck a remote area in Sichuan Province Tuesday night has risen to 19, the information office of the provincial government said on Wednesday. The quake has left 19 people killed till now and 343 others injured.
At least six of the dead were visitors to the popular tourist destination of Jiuzhaigou in the epicenter of Zhangzha town, Jiuzhaigou County.
The earthquake jolted Jiuzhaigou County at 9:19 p.m. Tuesday, and the epicenter was monitored at 33.2 degrees north latitude and 103.82 degrees east longitude. The quake struck at a depth of 20 km.
Jiuzhaigou, or Jiuzhai Valley, is a national park known for spectacular waterfalls and karst formations. More than 34,000 people visited the tourist attraction on Tuesday. So far, 50,000 tourists have been relocated to safe places.
The local government has organized tourist coaches and private-owned vehicles to rush to the affected areas to help transport the stranded tourists. Power, communication and water supply in the county seat have basically recovered.
The county also sent consultants to hotels, rural inns and streets to offer possible counseling service for tourists.
The quake was felt in the provincial capital Chengdu about 300 km south of the epicenter, and other regions in the neighboring provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi.
Sichuan is a quake-prone region. In May 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan and killed more than 80,000 people. In 2013, a 7.0-magnitude quake hit Lushan, killing 196.

Vowing to help what has long been a forgotten stepchild of government, the Palm Beach County Commission established a task force Tuesday to study the housing problems of residents who are neither very rich nor very poor.
Following a recommendation made during the Directions `85 planning conference late last year, the commissioners set up the housing committee and gave it 18 months to review the affordable housing issue.
``It`s one of those areas that has not been addressed. We`ve sort of left it to the marketplace,`` said Commissioner Dorothy Wilken, who supported establishing the new panel. ``It`s a real opportunity to see some programs go forward for middle-income people.``
Commissioners agreed, as did the myriad public officials and business leaders who attended the planning conference last year, that it is becoming increasingly difficult for middle income residents to find decent housing.
And home ownership is key to a sense of community in a neighborhood, said Jay Hasner of the county`s Homebuilders and Contractors Association.
Hasner said the typical ``affordable`` home, which costs $50,000 to $60,000, has slipped beyond the financial reach of many middle-income workers in the county and nationwide.
He and Wilken agreed there are plenty of such homes available in the county.
``Housing is not just an investment in terms of dollars,`` he said. ``That`s a footing. That`s the foundation of our community. Otherwise we have a nation of renters.``
Among options the new task force could consider to improve middle income housing are establishing a county fund to provide loans for home downpayments and purchasing land for construction of new moderately priced homes, Wilken said.

Haven't seen much factual evidence to substantiate your claims either... Testimony by those present is certainly more substantial than your blind support of a mercenary organization.
Could any amount of fact, evidence or logic convince you that the sky is yellow? No, because it's not. If you want to cut the crap, one of the first steps in doing so is to recognize that the "conflict" in Iraq is a war. And yes, I am against the war. I'm against the war for the same reasons the vast majority of the people in this country are against it. Don't act like I'm some kind of lone dissident in a nation full of slakerwire clones. The fact is my friend, that YOU are the minority in your support for an illegal war that has not only destroyed Iraq, but has divided our own country, as you and I are clearly illustrating here.
lmao... Uh, no. And I'm the one accused of not knowing what I'm talking about... I even provided a clear definition of "mercenary" for you... Members of the armed services are "parties to the conflict", as extensions of the governments involved. This concept, while apparently difficult to grasp, means they're NOT mercenaries. Hell, Blackwater even describes itself as a "private military company". By their own words, Blackwater is a military for hire. If it walks like a duck... You act like I'm the only one who considers them mercenaries... Google the word "Blackwater", and count how many times the word "Mercenary" occurs on each page... Again, if it walks like a duck.
So yeah, you're right. To the average citizen, it's obvious that this Blackwater operator is not carrying an assault weapon...
I think you're the only one who doesn't believe the population of this country is against the war in Iraq. Let me guess, you think Saddam masterminded 9/11 and had nuclear armed ICBMs pointed at New Jersey too.
see pictures above... lol. Do you really think, that anyone cares if those weapon has a select fire switch or not?
My apologies for blowing my bubble up again, but I was there... kid.
Who the hell are you to question my patriotism? A military career didn't fulfill my financial ambitions, so I didn't re-enlist. I would have been happy to continue this exercise in futility for a few more exchanges, but as your demeanor has devolved to the point of personal insults and accusations, I'm going to step aside and introduce you to my ignore list.

Odd, you rely on the testimony of those you claim were there, yet completely discount the tesitmony of others who were also there.

I'd also venture to guess I am one of the few, if not the only, who has ever actually worked for them and knowns exactly what they do, as opposed to going by piles of leftist BS. You on the other hand, cannot say the same.
Originally posted by slackerwireOther than the first pic, where is proof those are BWUSA contractors? Never seen one of their contractors wearing a helmet as shown in the 3rd pic. Other than the names of your little pics there, there is absolutely zero evidence to prove exactly who they work for. FYI, simply because they "look scary", that doesnt mean those are actually select fire rifles. You fail.
Originally posted by slackerwire
Yet again you make a ridiculous assumption. I am in fact against this war simply because we were lied to by the USG. Obviously Saddam didnt have nukes. If they wanted oil, all they needed to say was "Look, the U.S. needs oil to survive, so we are going to Iraq to take it".
That would have sufficed.
Originally posted by slackerwire
Those who believe in being factually truthful yes. I guess youre not in that group.
Originally posted by slackerwire
As was I. You're still wrong. BWUSA had zero part in firearm seizures. Try actually researching it.
Originally posted by slackerwire
No surprise. Those who have a twisted sense of reality tend to ignore contradictory fact.
Originally posted by Unit541
Care to point out this "testimony of others who were also there"?
When you spew things like "the situation is improving", you simply look like a fool to those who actually know.
Uh, where have you been. Before we invaded Iraq, this country was more united than it has been since WWII. I won't get into 9/11, but nobody can deny that it was an event that united this country like nothing else could. The war divided the country with equal fervor. We're uniting once again however, as more and more people like you wake up and actually see what's right in front of them.
Section 3, paragraph b of the Congressional authorization for force which Bush used to launch the invasion:
Both claims have been proven false time and time again.
lol, that clarifies a truck load… Did it not strike the great and powerful slackerwire that this statement here completely invalidates every argument you've made in this thread in defense of Blackwater? Now we all know who issued your blinders.
Want to prove they're not?
The point is that nobody at the dangerous end cares if the trigger has to be pulled more than once.
lol, so to you, the only thing that either justifies a war or not, is how it's explained? Whether it's actually justified or not makes no difference? I suppose you're on board with invading Brazil too, y'know, them having this huge supply of clean oxygen and all… I hope you don't have children, because apparently, you'd be teaching them it's ok to steal, as long as it's something you "need".
If we spent half of what we have on the war on developing renewable energy, we wouldn't need the oil anyway.
This is one of your weakest arguments yet (besides the one where you stated you worked for Blackwater…).
Are you going to concern yourself with whether or not their weapons have selectable fire? I know, it's a loaded question, but any answer other than "No" is a lie.
As I said, I don't need to research. I was there, witness to the events. I won't lose any sleep over the fact that you don't agree.

Prosecutors say a murder case against four soldiers in Georgia has revealed they formed an anarchist militia within the U.S. military with plans to overthrow the federal government.
One of the accused troops, Pfc. Michael Burnett, pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter and gang charges in the December slayings of former soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Tiffany York.
Burnett told a Long County judge that Roark, who had just left the Army, knew of the militia group's pla
Prosecutor Isabel Pauley says the group bought $87,000 worth of guns and bomb-making materials and plotted to take over Fort Stewart, bomb targets in nearby Savannah and Washington state, as well as assassinate the president.
Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. Aguigui was not charged in his wife's death, but Pauley told the judge her death was "highly suspicious."
Considering how polarized the general population is, what makes you think the military is somehow above all of that?

Plan for Implementing Campus-wide Course and Program Assessment
Guiding Philosophy:
A plan to train faculty for course and program assessment should be
|institutionally and culturally appropriate
|characterized by dialogue
|exemplary - modeling good assessment principles
|committed to valid and reliable methods
|sustainable and realistic concerning budget and workload
|focused on closing the loop to improve education
Note: While I advocate classroom-based embedded assessment, there are campuses that successfully implemented assessment beginning with institutional effectiveness, program level assessment, or general education assessment. Starting at the classroom level will intrinsically motivate faculty and provide a safe environment to learn about and implement assessment. Several key features in this plan are a result of analyzing data and feedback from over 300 faculty and administrators attending SLO and Assessment workshop training. Features heavily emphasized in the feedback from community faculty and administrators throughout California are marked with an asterisk*.
Step 1: Select a Steering Committee as a Means of Training
Determine the component of campus governance that is effective and appropriate to the existing institutional culture that could be used as a steering committee to initiate training. Use this committee or a subcommittee as the core for campus training. Assessment relates to many different aspects of campus life and crosses a variety of institutional processes; therefore, nearly any effective governing body can be used as an implementation vehicle.
Sample Effective areas:
Ineffective areas:
These may be ineffective because oversight alone is not enough.
Indeterminate area:
Some campuses have elected to create an all new committee. All successful and sustained assessment projects have an assessment committee steering them eventually but committee roles are very diverse.
If there is no existing committee, consider training a core and creating a long-term committee after training with interested participants.
Step 2: Develop a Steering Committee Structure and Budget
Determine whether this will be a subcommittee of another standing committee or whether an entire existing committee can reorient time and energy for the initial learning curve. (For instance, the Institutional Effectiveness or Program Review Committee might set aside one year of duties (e.g. reviews) to organize and carry out training)
*Have broad multidisciplinary representation with adequate administrative members and try to include adjunct faculty. (In addition if classified staff or students can participate this is can be helpful.)
Elect a faculty chair or create a co-chair position with a faculty member and administrator if this is a subcommittee or new committee.
Train the core team using the training material available in the workbook or online at http://online.bakersfieldcollege.edu/courseassessment/ .
Develop a budget immediately. Anticipate and fund campus-wide events, discipline (department) training events, guest speakers, a set of library resources, or books for faculty. A few examples are enumerated below.

Depends on campus and budget.
Step 3: Conduct an Assessment Audit
Have department chairs, deans, and managers document assessment activities currently taking place on campus. RP developed an assessment checklist which BC adapted. Use and modify these forms to conduct your own assessment audit.
Determine what processes already align with the WASC standards.
Catalogue types of evidence and assessment data easily available on campus (i.e. in vocational areas or for grants) or through the state chancellor's office. Make this available campus-wide.
Identify faculty with expertise (cognitive measurement, statistical or research skills, learning specialists) for example:
· English and Math faculty are often experienced in pre-collegiate assessment or placement testing - some of these tools can be used again as post tests.
· Vocational faculty are very skilled in meeting professional outcomes and preparing for board examinations.
· Psychology faculty are often skilled in cognitive assessment methods.
· Math and psychology faculty, as well as institutional researchers, have expertise in statistics.
· Science faculty and institutional researchers have skills in research project design.
· Education and Basic Skills faculty have training in articulating student outcomes.
· Faculty with rubric experience.
Step 4: Determine Campus-wide Logistics
While the assessment audit is being conducted, look at logistics from a campus-wide perspective. Plan how the steering team will educate the campus at-large.
Create a training dissemination plan. Because assessment is new to many instructors, you must start at the lower levels of the cognitive domain, vocabulary and general recall about assessment, and allow time for reflection and application.
Determine whether the training
will begin with a small pilot group (general education committee), a dedicated
group of leaders (department chairs council), or a particular discipline area
(science, English, etc)?
*Think about the most effective grouping for training. Mixing disciplines in the initial stages can be very effective (e.g. art and agriculture, history and Spanish). However, training later on should concentrate within similar disciplines. Discipline groups are important when finalizing SLOs and assessment tools. Will you use the department or division chairs and disseminate the training via disciplines? Will you use the staff development and flex days for voluntary participation?
Map out opportunities for dialogue. Design and create opportunities for multidisciplinary training early in the process. Plan for discipline specific training later concerning course and program outcomes and assessment facilitated by those from the core training group that are not members of that discipline. While this may sound odd, it levels the playing field allowing younger faculty to have input as well as older faculty. Not always, but occasionally, older and powerfully outspoken faculty can be very resistant to assessment (anything "new" for that matter). Having an outside facilitator that will recognize and encourage participation is very helpful. In addition, instructional assistants and classified members should be encouraged to participate and share their thoughts and observations of student learning. Some campuses have created a specific weekly lunch time where faculty meet to discuss assessment initiatives, others have campus-wide dialogue hour to share data and get new ideas.
Step 5: Select and Train Core leaders (These should be from the steering team and may include other volunteer leaders. This training process will take from 6 months to a year and will go through all sections of the training materials.)
Select and train the steering team – these people will serve as mentors and consultants. Invest in this process, emphasize one-on-one feedback and dialogue amongst the team.
Use appropriate assessment training materials and methods
Use and modify the training material provided at the website http://online.bakersfieldcollege.edu/courseassessment/
*MODEL everything you want the participants to do
*Make numerous resources and samples available from a wide variety of disciplines.
*Make it fun, be candid and share your own failures and successes. When possible work with student artifacts.
Emphasize dialogue at every meeting and in every aspect of the training. Encourage them to share both positive and negative feedback with each other - ingrain the need for dialogue.
If possible take these trainees to other campuses to observe and to share what they are doing.
Have this core of trained faculty write and revise SLOs and begin assessment practices in their courses. The steering team must have experience with classroom and program assessment to be effective. Allow time to implement and reflect on assessment.
Develop, modify, or review a curriculum, course, program, or service.
Develop Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
Design & Measure
Student Learning
Collect, discuss, and analyze data.
Determine refinements based on outcomes data.
Closing the Assessment
Communicate the importance of closing the loop on a single project or SLO versus trying to do everything and closing the loop on nothing.
Provide fair and reasonable remuneration to faculty and staff members that are implementing this process – the learning curve is steep and time consuming. If assessment is important, value it; don't treat it as another add on. Do it right. Later as assessment practices become a normal part of professional life and new faculty are trained when hired, this remuneration may be unnecessary. Invest in this cultural shift of perspective; this indicates it is not just another fad. Investing in assessment implementation will set a precedent for budgetary decisions based on evidence of improved learning.
Remuneration or Incentive Possibilities
Adjust the number of office hours required for a year – instead of 5 office hours per week, require only 4 for student conferences and make one hour for assessment preparation, implementation, & analysis.
Provide meals for workshops and retreats.
Send faculty and staff to assessment conferences, such as IUPUI, AAHE, AACU.
Purchase and provide assessment texts for individual faculty that request them.
Update personal computers or provide laptops to facilitate assessment procedures.
Recognize and officially appoint assessment mentors.
Provide reassign time for mentoring or assessment projects.
Create assessment grants – have faculty and staff apply for specifically funded assessment projects.
Count training as FLEX time and pay hourly wages for training beyond required FLEX time.
Provide stipends for faculty involved in guiding the projects, as you would for faculty involved in accreditation.
Create financial incentives for completed assessment products (for instance $50 for each set of complete class SLOs, $100 for assessment plans, and $150 for the first assessment report). Writing SLOs and developing assessment plans are easier once the initial learning curve for a single course is completed.
Encourage team teaching (and pay both faculty members adequately) that targets assessment practices in key courses.
Refer to the AAHE 9 Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student Learning (1992)
and Tom Angelo's Guiding
Principles for Assessing as if Learning Mattered Most.
Use the criteria for good assessment training attached as Appendix B.
Step 6: Train the Campus
Use an all-campus meeting and other communications to disseminate the rationale behind assessment and communicate the change in accreditation standards
*Keep training groups small 10-20 or less.
*Do not force participation; voluntary participation is important. Those that won't cooperate - never will; those that are on the fence will be encouraged to participate when the results validate the effort. Trust that improvement will occur and the effects of the process will be contagious.
*Emphasize the benefit for students and faculty and provide some background concerning external requirements.
*Group training time must be used in a valued way – craft the training to include hands-on activities, collaboration and creation of a product. (For example: Session one – create a draft SLO, Session 2 - Modify and improve a set of course SLOs, Session 3 - Create an assessment instrument).
To the greatest extent possible modify the training to the specific needs and interests of the group (vocational board requirements, math standards, related professional standards).
MODEL good classroom embedded assessment techniques in the training.
Tell participants what the outcomes of the training will be, evaluate and improve every training session, incorporating a method to help participants verbalize what they have learned.
Identify leaders and build the pool of trained mentors during the training.
Encourage dialogue, sharing of results, ideas, and concerns.
Remunerate faculty that produce a product (e.g. stipend or recognition after
creating a product course SLOs, assessment plans, and first assessment
*Provide opportunities for collaborative teaching (with appropriate workload) where the focus is creating, implementing and reporting assessment – e.g. capstone classes, honors classes, majors courses, basic skills.
Incorporate Student Services units with appropriate academic areas.
Emphasize the learning paradigm and use assessment to create processes that value, support, and improve learning.
*Set realistic goals, such as assessing one or two SLOs every year. Develop a timeline that considers all components – one or two course SLOs, plus one or two program SLOs, plus one or two institutional SLOs represent a heavy load for teaching faculty with multiple courses. One or two SLOs per year should complete and entire assessment cycle in 4 or 5 years approximating an accreditation cycle.
Step 7: Close the LOOP and Adjust Campus Processes
Incorporate SLOs in the curriculum documents of record.
Modify program review to include assessment reporting.
Communicate the effects (improved learning, curriculum, pedagogy) at key campus events.
Require documentation of strategies to or evidence of improved learning each year (unit reports). Writing things down is the hardest part. Provide templates or models. This creating a summary report is essential to the reflective aspect of closing the loop. The reflective aspect of the report is guaranteed and validated by robust dialogue with the areas and faculty involved.
Step 8: Sustaining the Assessment Process
Evaluate the training. Revise and modify the training using feedback and outcomes results.
Make training and updating available every year; catch those that want to begin after they have seen the outcomes.
Make improving learning an institutional goal, recognizing and communicating its importance.
Link future budgeting to those areas that close the loop and show improvement. Improvement is the major purpose for assessment, realistically funding improvement based upon evidence is a part of the process, but not the purpose behind assessment.
Share improvement, documenting and publicizing it to the community, students, faculty, and staff.
Document the steps used to implement assessment – create a history of what has been done; share it at a conference and with other institutions.

Socialist Venezuela Tells People To Eat Their Pets To Avoid Starvation (Video)
Three-fourths of Venezuelans have lost almost twenty pounds on average over the course of the year. This socialism diet is better than Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers.
I bet their government hasn't lost any weight and isn't forced to eat rabbit. This is just another country that proves socialism doesn't work!
This is what happens when citizens are unable to fend for themselves.
WFB: The Venezuelan government just urged its citizens to eat their pet rabbits so they won't starve to death. A severe food crisis is part of the socialist utopia that just keeps going downhill. What's next? Cannibalism?
President Nicolas Maduro unveiled a government program called "Plan Rabbit" at a meeting with his agriculture minister, Freddy Bernal, that was broadcast on Periscope, CNN Money reported. It's a plan to distribute rabbits to communities across Venezuela to breed and eat. Maduro noted that rabbits breed quickly and are a good source of protein, but not cholesterol.
"The rabbit isn't a pet, it's only two and a half kilos of meat," Bernal stressed in the streamed announcement. He then invoked President Donald Trump to push the program.
"Trump's attack against the Venezuelan people is an opportunity to revise and change cultural consumption patterns," he said.
Venezuelan opposition leaders immediately slammed the move.
"Are you serious?" asked former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles in a video response. "You want people to start raising rabbits to solve the problem of hunger in our country?"
A 2016 study found that three-fourths of Venezuelans had lost almost twenty pounds on average over the course of the year. Meat is particularly scarce in the South American nation, with citizens even resorting to butchering zoo animals, according to police.
Most economists agree the mass hunger is the result of socialist government policies spearheaded by former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and Maduro, his successor. Chavez instituted price controls on many food items, which helped lead to shortages and massive inflation.

Today is Dan and Minnie Pearl Day in Sunrise.
The event, which was named by proclamation Tuesday honors the couple`s 50th anniversary. Dan Pearl, who is a Sunrise City Council member, said the proclamation took him by surprise.
``But let me tell you something,`` he said. ``It`s been an easy 50 years being married to Minnie.``
The proclamation cited the Pearls for their public service and ``unselfish giving of the their time day and night.``
The Pearls, who live in Sunrise Lakes Phase 1, came to Sunrise in 1971. Dan Pearl has been a council member from 1979 to 1983 and was elected again in March 1985.
Floyd and Virginia Bergman, two teachers who live in Coconut Creek, are trying to make English grammar a bit more interesting.
The Bergmans, who have written a total of six educational books, published A Guidebook for Teaching Grammar last summer. Their latest effort is an attempt to teach teachers a new method of passing on the rules of grammar.
Granted, a grammar text may not sound like best seller material. But here`s an innovation that`s bound to please anyone who has sat through years of diagramming sentences -- the first thing the Bergman method does is throw out that old-fashioned procedure.
``We don`t believe it is a good tool for evaluating,`` said Floyd Bergman, a sixth-grade teacher at Plantation Christian Academy.
``It may be a good tool for teachers demonstrating on the chalk board, but for a tool of checking your own composition, it is unwieldly and not very practical.``
The Bergman`s system relies on boxes and symbols to break down a sentence and not only shows students how to find the verb and subject, but also how to be better writers.

A new tour offering at Disney's Animal Kingdom is "Caring for Giants," which offers guests the opportunity to get a closer look (80-100ft) at the African elephant herd otherwise seen on the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction.
Guests check in at the tour desk near the entrance to the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction and are given a brief run-down of the upcoming activities, as well as admonishments not to take photos while backstage. We were also reminded that the elephants roam on their own and their closeness to the viewing area is not guaranteed.
Afterwards, you're taken on a short jaunt through some backstage areas to an awaiting van that takes the tour group through the savanna to your vantage point.
Once you reach your observation spot------
----- elephants!
During the 30 minutes you have to spend in the observation area, two cast members talk briefly about the elephants and aspects of their lives, both in Animal Kingdom, and in their native home of Botswana.
Some of the information shared:
--African elephants are a keystone species of the savanna and help to maintain the entire ecosystem.
--The elephant herd is a matriarchal system in which females form a large bonded family and males are kicked out in their teens to lead largely solitary lives.
--The country of Botswana is underpopulated and home to the largest number of elephants in Africa.
--In order to preserve their crops from the elephants, farmers there utilize "bee boxes." These swinging boxes of bees emit bee sounds (and some bees) when disturbed by elephants. The elephants in turn leave and emit elephant vocalizations -- low-pitched sounds virtually inaudible to humans -- that can warn off other elephants from five miles away.
--The baby is named "Stella."
While the tour is pretty brief, it affords a nice look at animals that are not always sufficiently cooperative to display themselves to the Kilimanjaro Safari. Additionally, for people trying to pack a lot into their WDW vacation days, it represents a relatively small investment of time and money.
Tours cost $30 and can be reserved by calling (407) WDW-PLAY or (407) 939-7529. At this time, reservation can not be made online. Disney Vacation Club members and Annual Passholders qualify for discounts.
We all felt it was well worth the money to experience the elephants in such a unique way.
All proceeds from the tour go toward conservation efforts.
If you've taken the tour, why not write a short review to help other visitors!

What it's like to be a music photographer
Much like breaking into the music industry as a recording artist, most music photographers aren't going to make millions. "There isn't much money in photographing live music, unless you are working for a larger magazine," says UK-based music and event photographer Martin Hobby. But like any true artist, be it musical, performance or photographic, they do it for the love of it. "Even if it's just for a free ticket and beer!" Jokes Hobby.
We talked to three professional photographers who decided to add music to their resume—from country enthusiasts to metal heads—to marry their two greatest passions: music and photography.
Martin Hobby, Kent/London, England
Also shoots: weddings, commercial
What got you interested in music photography?
I have always been a music fan, and I've always been a photographer (21 years this year). But it was relatively recently, in 2010, that I decided to combine the two—I think I just wanted to take my work in a different direction, and there is a healthy live music scene in the town I live in, so I started covering local shows.
How can one get into the music photography business?
Getting into it is quite easy; just turn up at a local show with a camera and shoot the bands. Like with anything, it's about networking and getting out there—go chat with the bands after their set, build rapport and trust, if your work is good enough and you are a cool person to be around, things will happen.
Where does the majority of your income come from with this type of work?
Either being commissioned by a magazine to cover a band, or by bands and their management companies if they need to get photos for PR or artwork.
What is your dream shoot?
Tom Waits. I would love to make a portrait of him.
What are the challenges you face when shooting a concert?
Smaller venues can have really crappy lighting or no lighting, but they may allow you to use flash, which the larger venues often don't, so you are at the mercy of the lighting guy. Also, at most larger shows you are only allowed to shoot for the first three songs (with no flash), so you may only have ten minutes to get your shots! I actually quite like this, as it gives me a definite time in which to nail it, and then I get to watch the band.
Do you aim to photograph a specific genre, or all kinds?
I started off covering a lot of heavy metal shows as that was mainly what the local bands played, and I went to Bloodstock Festival a few times, and they used some of my shots for their advertising. Now I mainly shoot for indie magazines, so I cover a real variety, which is great as I love hearing new music—especially if it's a style I'm not really aware of. The most recent band that blew me away was tUnE-yArDs. It was definitely not my usual cup of tea but was amazing to see live.
You work for several music magazines. How were you able to get your foot in the door?
My first big break came through meeting an old friend at a party—he was then the picture editor for one of the UK's biggest music magazines. It still took me two years from the initial conversation before he felt I was good enough to work for him.
What is your favorite part about the music industry?
Giving something back to the bands that have inspired and shaped my life. I remember as a kid looking at album covers and pictures of bands in magazines. It's something to look up to. If I can do the same and inspire the next generations to pick up cameras and follow in my footsteps, that would be the best thing in the world.
