|The beginning of a big trip!
Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2012
|This was my first stop during a big NE USA peakbagging trip. I drove to the summit parking lot, and then walked from there. I immediately noticed that several people were slanted as they walked; the wind was *that* strong when I visited there. I climbed up the spiral staircase in the summit tower, too. When I got back to my car, the weather shifted to intense rain and wind, which lasted as I headed west into New York to continue my trip. This was my 43rd State Highpoint.

|Route Climbed: Greylock Circuit
Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2011
|Hiked the 12.7 mile long Greylock Circuit described in AMC's Berkshire Hiking book. Was a fantastic hike that spanned some of the AT and offered great clear views from multiple summits, including Greylock and its observation tower.
|Posted Jun 25, 2012 11:28 am
|No people!
Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2012
|Started at the Roaring Brook trailhead. I didn't see a SOUL until within 1/2-mile of the summit - and that includes Sperry Campground, the road crossings (no cars either), and almost all of Hopper Trail.
The steep portion on Roaring Brook caught me a little by surprise, but no biggie. Was still up and back in about 3 hours, before any inclement weather rolled in.
I think I read someone post somewhere on this site that they do not recommend going up in the tower. I could not disagree more. The windows were clean; the views were beautiful.
|Posted Jun 12, 2012 9:37 pm
|Bernard Farm Trail to AT to summit
Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2012
|Trail was 4.9 miles with the final 2.4 miles on the AT. An hour and forty five minutes to the summit and ninety minutes back down. Nice mtn with a war memorial at the top. Met four AT hikers there. Got back down before it started pouring : )

-- Scott Roberts
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Adempas (riociguat) has
been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat two
types of pulmonary hypertension, characterized by high blood
pressure in the arteries of the lungs.
The chronic, disabling disease forces the heart to work harder
than usual, and can lead to death or the need for a lung
transplant, the FDA said in a news release.
Adempas, among a class of drugs called soluble guanylate cyclase
stimulators, relaxes the arteries. This increases blood flow and
eases blood pressure, the agency said.
The drug was approved for people with chronic thromboembolic
pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after surgery, or for people who
cannot have surgery, to help improve the ability to exercise. The
drug also was approved for people with pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) of various causes.
Adempas was evaluated in a clinical study involving 261 people
with CTEPH. People who were treated with the drug were able to walk
about 150 feet further in six minutes after 16 weeks of treatment
than people who took a placebo, the FDA said.
In another trial of 443 people with PAH, people treated with the
drug were able to walk about 118 feet further in six minutes than
those who had been treated with a placebo.
The most common side effects of the drug included headache,
dizziness, indigestion, tissue swelling, nausea and vomiting.
Adempas' label includes a boxed warning that pregnant women
shouldn't use the drug, which can harm a growing fetus, the agency
The drug is marketed by Wayne, N.J.-based Bayer HealthCare

Who would win in a battle between an Imperial Super Star Destroyer and a giant space octopus?
I think the Lego simulation settles that.
Who would win in a battle between an Imperial Super Star Destroyer and a giant space octopus?
I think the Lego simulation settles that.
embertine says
Yellow Thursday says
Something similar happened in an episode of "Babylon 5: Crusade" (the short-lived spin-off series). The space ship conceded when the crew realized the tentacled space creature was trying to, erm, mate with the space ship.
UnknownEric the Apostate says
The cavemen, of course.
Oh, sorry, I was having Joss Whedon flashbacks.
The octopus.
Ben P says
For some reason this brings me back to playing Master of Orion 2, where your planets would occasionally get attacked by monsters from space, like a "space dragon" or a "space eel" or a giant crystal.
borax says
Does the giant space octopus have a poorly designed exhaust port?
bcmystery says
That thing's priorities are all out of whack. First Jar-Jar Binks, THEN the Imperial Super Star Destroyer.
TheDawgLives says
But can the octopus shoot LASERs from its eyes?
ChasCPeterson says
Kirk would win!
And he'd get the girl too!
The answer, as always: Kirk!
Randomfactor says
Borax, will you have my baby?
Akira MacKenzie says
Oh come on! Just "sour the milk" already!
Oh wait, that's Star Trek: TNG.
Akira MacKenzie says
I realize that "size matters not" but could Vader conceivably Force-choke something that doesn't seem to require air?
I'mma have to go with the space octopus here, though the Star Destroyer will probably scorch the shit out of it in spots.
Besides, the octopus is smarter.
Alverant says
I have to go with the SSD because 1) it has range weapons and 2) it can go into hyperspace to stay out of reach. That's assuming the space octopus can't shoot lasers or go into warp.
borax says
Randomfactor, If I had a dollar for every time I was asked that question, I would have a dollar. OK. I'll have your baby for a dollar.
Alverant says
Forgot to mention the SSD would also have enough Tie fighters to turn the octopus into sashimi before it can even get close. A bunch of little things with a small bite can really add up. Ever see Monster Bug Wars when some large armored insect stumbles upon an ant colony? The ants always win.
myeck waters says
Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden says
Obviously the giant space cephalopod, given that there is only one way to kill it.
Also, though it may not have laser beam eyes, you don't wanna get shot with any matter-packets from its tentacles.
thumper1990 says
@bcmystery #6
That thing's priorities are all out of whack. First Jar-Jar Binks, THEN the Imperial Super Star Destroyer.
Seriously, am I the only person who likes Jar-Jar?!
Alverant says
No. Lucas likes him. At least I think he does given how he lived through episode 3.
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
The real question is why that Star Destroyer didn't have its deflector shields up. Also, given that is not an Imperial-class Star Destroyer (the command tower is missing) but a Super-class, that is one big fuckin' octopus.
Also, all capital ships have support vessels. Which are armed and capable of shooting the octopus.
All that said, unless the Navy gets its act together, that octopus is going to win.
busterggi says
The octopus should win but if it doesn't then its much larger mother will avenge it.
UnknownEric the Apostate says
I've spent about 15 minutes now trying to come up with a good X-Men/Brood Saga reference, but I guess I'll have to leave that to someone else.
thumper1990 says
If we're being specific to the picture, I think it must be noted that octopus has already torn off the bow of the spaceship. So technically it's already one.
Good point :) I was about to say that this means I can live safe in the knowledge that he will survive, but Disney just bought the franchise, didn't they? They might kill him off :( bastards.
Ing:Intellectual Terrorist "Starting Tonight, People will Whine" says
Looks like someone chose to sacrifice the Council
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
Thumper, the Kuat Drive Yards (who designed and built the Star Destroyers) built in bulkheads to protect against explosive decompression. The loss of the nose of the ship, assuming that those bulkheads worked properly, should not have led to the decompression of entire ship. I mean, the ship will have a harder time aiming at things, and will have lost some important sensors located in the bow in those parts, but it should still be spaceworthy.
embertine says
Don't laugh, busterggi, that actually happened to me with spiders once. That's why I no longer drop large horticultural textbooks on spiders, but rescue them with a glass and a beermat; I did it once and when I returned there was one double the size sitting in exactly the same spot. I could see this escalating swiftly until the spider could barely fit in the room, and I have never harmed another spider since.
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
In other news, long before I was a Tolkien nerd, I was a Star Wars nerd.
Also, there is still fanfic I wrote on the internet. And no, I am not saying where, or what my author-nym was. I will say that fourteen year-old-girls who don't understand basic biology should not be writing sex scenes.
timgueguen says
SyFy, who will produce a movie with that very plot with change found on LA buses, and hence make a profit despite its mediocre ratings and the disdain of any view with half a neuron. Of course they'll need to scrub the serial numbers off the Star Wars bit.
Amphiox says
Re #6;
I posit that Jar Jar is aboard the Star Destroyer. Nothing less would provoke the normally gentle Space Octopus.
thumper1990 says
It is well known that the bulkheads in Super-class star destroyers are the space-going equivalent of the bulkheads on the Titanic ;)
(Yes, I made that up. I am not that well-read on Star Wars).
Lol I really want to read your fanfic now, just to see what disasterous "sex scenes" your 14-year-old self came up with :)
Thread won!
Hey look, I used the right one that time! (see what I did there?… I'll get my coat).
kemist, Dark Lord of the Sith says
Star Destroyer's commander : "It's a trap !"
Admiral Ackbar : "Muahahhahahahahah !"
chigau (ouch) says
I will say that fourteen year-old-girls who don't understand basic biology should not be writing sex scenes.
That is true of sooo many more types of people.
And really, you won't link?
no faaairr!
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
That isn't Ackbar. Siphons are wrong.
That could, however, be a Quarren.
erikschepers says
Right, if the space kraken is so damn effective, why bother with concentrating all fire, that's what I want to know.
Cynickal says
Borax & randomfactor lose all their geek points.
In fact since there is a picture of the Star Destroyer and they still mixed it up with the Death Star means they probably never had any geek points to start with. :-P
chigau (ouch) says
…they probably never had any geek points to start with…
fighting words!
Randomfactor says
No, it's true…
optimalcynic says
Denverly says
Harbinger wins unless Shepard invokes the space magic from the starchild to use the Crucible for synthesis, control or destroy.
Moggie says
They should have gone to ludicrous speed.
whheydt says
Before we were married, my wife, who had had ST fanfic collaborations with Astrid Anderson published in T-negative started working on a ST/Lensman crossover story. Never got finished, but…
–Phasers are ineffective against polycyclic screens
–Photon torpedoes get sucked into polycyclic screens and blow out the generators when they go off.
–warp drive + Bergenholm inertialess drive goes *really* fast
–future microelectronics make if possible to build a Bergenholm that can "free" the Enterprise that fits in the palm of your hand (and doesn't need Uranium coils)
–The Entrprise's library contains the entire canon of E. E. "Doc" Smith's _Lensmen_ works, so the Arisians want them to go home ASAP (but they need the assistance of a 4-D intellignece: Nadreck, which means they have to help Nadreck finish his current project *first*).
–Spock gets a Lens (Kirk decidedly does NOT).
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
Re: my fanfic:
It is largely indistinguishable from other bad fanfic, insofar that I subscribed to the "magical stretchy orifice" theory of sex.
Illuminata, Genie in the Beer Bottle says
Gotta agree with Chas. Kirk. period.
microraptor says
Imperial Admiral: We can't withstand tentacles of that magnitude!
cicely (mumblemumble-SomethingHalf-Witty-mumblemumble) says
I have to go with the SSD because 1) it has range weapons and 2) it can go into hyperspace to stay out of reach.
Both irrelevant; it's already in melee combat, which means 1) it's too late for ranged attacks, and 2) if the SSD tries to go into hyperspace, either the Mighty 'Pod goes with it, or its mass prevents the ship from actually going anywhere. And/or 3) the melee continues…but in hyperspace!!!…due to Rule of Cool.
Forgot to mention the SSD would also have enough Tie fighters to turn the octopus into sashimi before it can even get close.
Again; 1) too late! Melee rules apply, and 2) what, with the launch bays held shut by all those tentacles?!?
I posit that Jar Jar is aboard the Star Destroyer. Nothing less would provoke the normally gentle Space Octopus.
Excellent point!
They should have gone to ludicrous speed.
Yes. Long before it came to melee.
Seriously, the SSD's only hope is that the octopus gets all tangled up on its initiatives-by-tentacle, and on the Grappling Rules. There may also be Attacks of Opportunity to be considered.
Otherwise, crack it like a coconut, it will, mmm, yes; then swim away wearing the shell it will!
andrewscott says
Perhaps it's a despair squid that crossed dimensions into the star wars universe? Less likely, the SSD ended up in the Red Dwarf universe. Either way, the cephalopod wins as all the crew live their worst fantasies and commit suicide.
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
Well, there were only a handful of SSDs ever built, due to the extreme cost of building and staffing them – also, they were so big as to be impractical for day-to-day operations.
Each of the SSDs had something unique. If that is the Lusyanka, then if it still has its repulsorlift cradle, it can use it to literally push the octopus away. Alternatively, it could restrain it and then torture it to death. If that is the Executor, then that is Vader's flagship. Why is he not Force-choking the octopus? If that is the Razor's Kiss, then the hull is lined with bombs. Blow it up! If that is the Iron Fist, then the octopus can eat it for all I care. Fuck Zsinj.
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
And, once again, I will argue that capital ships have support vessels. Which are armed. And even if the octopus is blocking the doors of the fighter bays, the support ships also have snubfighters.
Alternatively, there could be an epic plan involving piloting while performing puppet shows. That could always work.
… … <__>
The octopus is a giant puppet! There's a squad of giggling people in the head.
Illuminata, Genie in the Beer Bottle says
Either way, the cephalopod wins as all the crew live their worst fantasies and commit suicide
That's just not true. The Dwarfers defeated TWO despair squids.
thumper1990 says
… the "magical stretchy orifice" theory of sex.
"His hot, throbbing member was so big he could play baseball with it, if he so wished".
That kind of thing?
I have no idea why this amuses me so much :)
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
"His hot, throbbing member was so big he could play baseball with it, if he so wished".
That kind of thing?
No, more of the "lube is never necessary in any context and no matter how big it is, it always fits perfectly. Also, you can always get multiple in there."
Amphiox says
The support ships were all rewarded by being eaten first, by the Octopus' support school of ravenous space squid, of screen.
kemist, Dark Lord of the Sith says
That isn't Ackbar. Siphons are wrong.
It's Ackbar's mutated Mon Calamari superweapon.
He does look a bit like a weaponized Dr. Zoidberg larval stage.
DLC says
The super star destroyer is really just a big giant bomb waiting to be grabbed.
or, in other words. "It's a Trap! "
optimalcynic says
I wonder if this can be reenacted in Kerbal Space Program.
dorght says
No doubt to draw in its prey the giant space octopus camouflaged itself as a moon.
WharGarbl says
No, more of the "lube is never necessary in any context and no matter how big it is, it always fits perfectly. Also, you can always get multiple in there."
Japanese Hentai Anatomy?
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
Japanese Hentai Anatomy?
More or less, yes.
With added hilarity that I had never seen a penis (in flesh or image) and thus did not know what they looked like, or what was a typical size.
vaiyt says
Holy shit that octopus is huge. We're talking something over a dozen kilometers long here, people.
Hentai? What are you gonna call it, "20.000girls1tentacle"?
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
dozen kilometers
A Super-class Star Destroyer is 8 km long. It also has a crew of 280,734.
*star whooshes past* The more you know!
PZ Myers says
Fuck Zsinj.
One thing about this thread: we have now identified the most colossal nerd on Pharyngula.
andrewscott says
Well, of course the main protagonists will win and survive.
On the other hand (tentacle?) it's the fate of nameless minions and unnamed henchmen to die… all 280,734 of them. Or do you think the main Star War antagonists (Darth Vader, the Emperor) or protagonists (Luke, Princess Leah, Han Solo, R2D2 et el) are on board the SSD?
Esteleth, stupid fucking starchild Tolkien worshiping douche says
the most colossal nerd on Pharyngula.
Oh, and seriously. Zsinj was utter scum.
Esteleth, the most colossal nerd on Pharyngula says
In fact, I'd say that Zsinj was worse than Isard. Because while Isard was despicable and evil, Zsinj was more creative. And he had more flair.
deoridhe says
I have fallen into Wookiepedia and I can't get out.
Esteleth, the most colossal nerd on Pharyngula says
*throws a tractor beam around deioridhe*
Alex the Pretty Good says
Amphiox says
So, how closely related are Colossal Nerds to Colossal Squid?
Azathoth says
andrewriding says
You only have to connect a few dots to realize why there are no fighters to pew pew at it:
P1. No oxygen required here.
Therefore it doesn't need to exhaust itself blowing oxygenated water over a brood until they hatch.
P2. Big SciFi animals with lots of babies generally keep them nearby, or even carry them around inside itself.
P3. An octopus can contort itself to fit into glass bottles and such, or really through any hole the beak will fit through.
Therefore there's an army of smaller space cephalopods that infiltrated the ship inside of storm trooper outfits.
Also during the gunfights in the corridors the actual storm troopers were greatly confused because who knows if the head is in the helmet, chest, or even down in a boot.
Due to the complete lack of scorch marks on the mother it is clear that this ship was first boarded and disabled (and then some tentacle parties were held as they consumed most of the rations,) before she moved in to claim the flotsam. Giant Space Octopus salvaging company has some shrewd negotiators, know for their catch phrases of "scree!" and "bloop." It's best to keep them busy rather than letting them grow hungry for work, else they create jobs on their own.
John Horstman says
Now I just want to see a giant Zoidberg crushing a Super Star Destroyer.
waydude says
my god… if an octopus could do this, what would a sharktopus do?!!
Azuma Hazuki says
The Darius-series battleships are the best (worst?) of both of these. I'd like to see the Star Destroyer take on something like Super Alloy Lantern or Curious Chandelier.
Cyranothe2nd, ladyporn afficianado says
@ 69–
Batman = Always the correct answer
dmgregory says
andrewriding @ 70
Now you've got me picturing some bizarre mashup of Rogue Squadron with Octodad.
Um… well done.
sugarfrosted says
The Watchmen.
guyver1 says
It depends whether Justin Hawkins is on board or not – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU
Esteleth, the most colossal nerd on Pharyngula says
If that is an SSD that's been captured by the Republic, then they can call on the Rogues. And they'll destroy that squiddy thing with derring-do because they're the fucking Rogues.
scottruplin says
Is this Admiral Ackbar, mutated into giant form by some unknown cosmic radiation?
At this point it looks like the Octopus wins it. The SSD is damaged and could presumably fire off a few wounding shots to the cephalopod, but if the eight limbed beast is uninjured it seems in a position to carry the fight.
gravityisjustatheory says
cicely (mumblemumble-SomethingHalf-Witty-mumblemumble)
And/or 3) the melee continues…but in hyperspace!!!…due to Rule of Cool.
And then the Shadows intervene.
microraptor says
Which all turns out to be part of Scorpius's plan.

With less than a month before pitchers and catchers report, we're checking in on how each team has fared in conducting its offseason business while acknowledging that there's still time for its prognosis to change. Teams will be presented in reverse order of finish from 2012, and I'll revisit and adjust their grades to account for late-winter deals as spring training begins.
Chicago Cubs
2012 Results: 61-101, 5th place in NL Central. (Hot Stove Preview)
Key departures: 1B-OF Bryan LaHair, RHP Chris Volstad
Key arrivals: RHP Scott Baker, RHP Scott Feldman, RHP Kyuji Fujikawa, RHP Edwin Jackson, OF Nate Schierholtz, RHP Carlos Villanueva
After exercising restraint and paring roughly $25 million off the payroll in their first year with the Cubs, the Theo Epstein/Jed Hoyer regime has its first long-term addition in the form of Jackson, who signed a four-year, $52 million deal in December. The well-traveled 29-year-old — now on his eighth team, and his seventh since 2008 — is coming off a fairly typical season in which he put up a 4.03 ERA and struck out 8.0 per nine in 189 2/3 innings for the Nationals. Jackson is part of a wholesale makeover of a rotation that ranked 14th in the NL in ERA (4.52) and quality start rate (43 percent).
Any notion that the move means Epstein and Hoyer view the team as ahead of their previous timetable to contend is probably mistaken, however, given that both Feldman and Villanueva are rather makeshift options, and that Baker is recovering from April 2012 Tommy John surgery, and may not be ready to start the season. Eventually, two of those three will likely round out the rotation behind Jackson, Matt Garza and Jeff Samardzija.
Feldman, who turns 30 in February, signed a one-year, $7 million deal coming off a season in which he was hit for a 5.09 ERA in 123 2/3 innings with the Rangers via 21 starts and eight relief appearances. He did set career bests with 7.0 strikeouts and 2.3 walks per nine, but he hasn't made more than 22 starts in a season since 2009, when he went 17-8 with a 4.08 ERA. Villanueva, 29, signed a two-year, $10 million deal coming off a 4.16 ERA and 8.8 strikeouts per nine in 125 1/3 innings split between 16 starts (a career high) and 22 relief appearances for the Blue Jays. Though he has shown an ability to miss bats, he has a hard time keeping the ball in the park, yielding 1.7 homers per nine in 2012, and 1.3 per nine over the course of his seven-year career. Baker, 31, signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal; he's the best of the bunch when healthy, but health is always the catch with him. He missed all of last season due to surgery, and averaged just 27 starts and 164 innings per year from 2007-2011 while reaching 30 starts just once. He did deliver a 3.98 ERA in that span while showing a consistent ability to miss bats (7.4 strikeouts per nine) with pinpoint control (2.1 walks per nine).
Fujikawa is a 32-year-old who spent 12 years pitching for the Japan Central League's Hanshin Tigers, the last six as a full-time closer; during that latter span, he posted a microscopic 1.36 ERA while striking out 12.4 per nine and averaging 34 saves and 62 innings per year. While he signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal with a vesting option for a third year based on games finished, the Cubs don't plan on him closing in 2013, as they still have Carlos Marmol under contract for $9.8 million. Even so, given how erratic the incumbent is — 7.3 walks per nine in 2012, and 6.7 per nine since 2009 — it's a reasonable bet that the newcomer will at least see some ninth-inning duty when manager Dale Sveum inevitably tires of Marmol's shtick yet again.
Schierholtz is a 29-year-old lefty swinging rightfielder who hit a thin .257/.321/.407 with six homers split between the Giants and Phillies in 2012. Nominally, he'll offset the departure of LaHair to Japan, but his .266/.319/.413 career line against righties means he'll be a drag on the offense even with a productive platoon partner. Given Hoyer's declaration that "He's certainly going to play a ton for us," one may not be forthcoming.
Unfinished business: So, Sori? One of the biggest challenges Epstein and Hoyer inherited was finding a way to make Alfonso Soriano disappear. The 37-year-old leftfielder still has two years and $38 million left on his deal, but even after putting up his best season since 2008 (.262/.322/.499 with 32 homers, for 2.4 WARP), he remains on the roster. One problem is that Soriano has a full no-trade clause; he's said to have rejected a trade to the Giants last summer because he was hoping to be dealt to the Dodgers. The other obstacle is that Cubs haven't been willing to eat enough salary to date. The most recent dollar figures attached to his name had them willing to pay $26 million, about two-thirds of the remaining — not a bad deal for the team acquiring him, assuming he can be worth at least one win a year. Teams who could still use some extra power in their outfield include the Astros, Phillies and Mariners, though they may not be easy sells to a player looking to escape a rebuilding situation.Preliminary grade

In recent days, public debate over the leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been reminiscent of the adage: "The more things change, the more they remain the same."
In these still early days of the 113th Congress, those who in 2010 adamantly opposed Dodd-Frank financial reform and the creation of an independent consumer-focused bureau are trying to revive their same rejected arguments. Legislation has been introduced along party lines to reverse many of the pro-consumer reforms enacted in 2010. Further, a bloc of 43 U.S. Senators advised for the second time their refusal to accept or reject any CFPB director nominee.
A February 1 letter to the president said in part, "We will continue to oppose the consideration of any nominee, regardless of party affiliate, to be the CFPB director until key structural changes are made to ensure accountability and transparency."
An equally strong but opposite view of the Richard Cordray re-nomination is held by Senator Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon. On February 6, he said, "Predatory mortgages and other tricks and traps of the financial system have devastated too many working families. The CFPB was created with the support of a super-majority of senators to take on these egregious abuses and ensure that all Americans are protected from unfair and deceptive practices."
"The senators blocking Cordray must ask themselves a fundamental question," said Merkley. "'Does financial fairness for working families matter?' I think it does. Financial fairness is essential for successful families. Financial fairness is a family value."
CFPB was deliberately designed to independently serve all consumers rather than be subjected to partisan pranks and chicanery. For example, a single director empowered to write rules and monitor a range of financial services facilitates swift and corrective action in the consumers' interests. CFPB opponents prefer a commission with members chosen by party leaders.
Yet in a recent commentary, Nancy A. Nord, a commissioner with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and its former acting chair, expressed serious concerns with commission governance.
"A well-informed administrator with sole accountability for decisions is a better way to achieve underlying policy goals, rather than hoping for clear-headed bi-partisanship," wrote Nord. "My experience at the CPSC indicates that commissioners' independence is more hope than reality. In non-unanimous votes, crossing party lines is rare."
In addition to a director's leadership, CFPB's independence is also assured by its budget not being subject to annual congressional appropriations. CFPB opponents have called for this financial independence to end. If CFPB's budget were to become subject to the annual appropriations process, the door would be opened to potential and ongoing punishment by the largest banking industry lobbies and their allies in Congress. Dodd-Frank reform showed far-sighted wisdom by enabling unhindered decisions and actions taken in the public interest."
Most importantly, consumers have shown overwhelming support for CFPB. A 2012 poll of consumer sentiment by the Center for Responsible Lending showed that more than eight out of 10 consumers of color polled favored a strong CFPB. Further, consumers of color expressed the strongest support for CFPB.
Earlier CRL research documented how African-American and Latino families lost approximately $1 trillion from the foreclosure crisis – the brunt of 10.9 million homes that went into foreclosure from 2007-2011.
For our communities, the financial stakes in the CFPB debate could not be higher. No community could hope to survive a second trillion loss.
It is time to stand up, speak out and insist on preserving the hard-fought consumer protections with the same vigor that defied those who tried to deny our voting rights in 2012.

New Mom M.I.A. Sought By Oscars Producers
Which is less appropriate: A brand-newmom performing at the Oscars, from bed, or an image-conscious Olympian trying to lay low in a strip club? Decide for yourself.
- Pregnant rapper M. I. A. did such a good job at the Grammys that Oscars show producers say they're desperate to book the
overduefresh-minted mom to perform "O Saya" from the excellent Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. "We are happy to bring some sort of fabulous bed on stage if that means M.I.A. can be there." (UPDATE: Oh right, she finally had the kid. Sorry for calling you "twisted," Oscars producers!)
- To protect his reputation, Michael Phelps is hanging out in strip clubs. He figures no one can take his picture there. [Page Six]
- Justin Timberlake didn't literally beat away the models with a stick at Fashion Week, but it sounds like it almost came to that. Apparently it wasn't enough that he was making out furiously with Jessica Biel. Models can be dense. [Gatecrasher]
- Angelina Jolie might move to Manhattan. She was looking at a place in Washington Heights. They might already be remodeling the building for her. [Us]
- Jennifer Aniston might run into Jolie at the Oscars. Scientists have various theories on what will happen in the collision, and warn there's no way of knowing anything for certain in advance of the actual event. Goggles, as always, are recommended for onlookers. [OK!]
- Sarah Jessica Parker thinks the next Sex And The City movie will need to be "recession-friendly." Which sounds so implausible it gives us hope the recession might finally kill off the franchise, forever. [Us]
- MC Hammer finally got his own reality show, focusing on his life as a "new-age dad" in Oakland. A&E picked it up. [Hollywood Reporter]
- Guy Ritchie is pissed because he has to re-shoot various Sherlock Holmes scenes, because he was distracted by his divorce from Madonna. As though we all weren't distracted by his divorce from Madonna. [Sun]
- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are suddenly not going to the Oscars, for some reason. Maybe so they can get some press when they do go to the Oscars. [OK!]

Better late than never as Warriors bag first win
DUNEDIN: The Warriors have broken their pre-season drought with a tough victory over the Broncos. The Kiwi franchise made a winning debut under the Forsyth Barr Stadium roof with a 16-10 win.
After leading 2-0 at halftime, the Warriors tightened up their game and made the most of a bit of good fortune to run in
three second half tries in front of a 15,000-strong crowd.
The Warriors went to half-time gasping after spending much of the first half in defence through a combination of some dangerous Broncos attacking and their own poor discipline.
Playing with the benefit of a heavy penalty count, the Broncos must have looked up at the scoreboard in bewilderment after getting over the line four times in the first 30 minutes without being awarded a try.
Winger Lachlan Maranta was denied twice, once when a loose ball out the back from Manu Vatuvei was judged to have been played at by the Broncos, while Maranta's second attempt was ruled out after his right toe clipped a couple of blades of Forsyth Barr's space-age grass.
With the figurative scoreboard attendant dozing quietly in his chair, the crowd looked to entertain themselves, roaring on the early carries by Vatuvei and heckling the Broncos after a late shot on Peter Wallace by Todd Lowrie, in his first act for the Warriors, saw the two teams have a brief exchange of views with less than three minutes gone.
A half-time streaker, who was brought down by Warriors trainer Ruben Wiki, provided more entertainment.
What looked destined to be a scoreless first half was ruined by the Warriors when they opted to take a penalty from in front of the posts with time up in the half, Shaun Johnson banging over the points for the 2-0 lead at the break.
Glen Fisiiahi helped shore up one wing for the Warriors after Billy Tupou left the field following a head knock in the first quarter, while Justin Hodges looked the most dangerous of the Broncos players as they struggled to make any profit from a glut of possession.
There was more frustration after the break when Broncos big man Sam Thaiday lost the ball in-goal as he juggled Andrew McCullough's cheeky grubber from dummy half.
The weird was starting to become just plain bizarre.
Finally, in the 50th minute, Maranta managed to convince the officials he deserved to score, crossing in the corner from a short-side raid with the benefit of Hodges's quick hands.
Scott Prince converted from the sidelines for a 6-2 lead.
It proved a double blow for the Warriors, with Johnson going down during the play before being taken from the field clutching his right forearm.
The Warriors grabbed the lead back with a quality try as Vatuvei latched onto the accurate grubber kick of Pita Godinet, who wasn't able to convert from out wide.
Fisiiahi scored just after the hour mark when he reacted the best to some loose ball and Lowrie made it a tryscoring debut with 10 minutes to go to put the Warriors ahead by 10 points.
The Warrriors now have a two-week break before their competition opener against the Eels in Sydney on March 9.
Warriors 16 (Manu Vatuvei, Glen Fisiiahi, Todd Lowrie tries; Shaun Johnson pen, Pita Godinet con) Broncos 10 (Lachlan Maranta, Justin Hodges tries; Scott Prince con)

HOCKLEY, Texas - Deputies said a 12-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his 11-year-old brother with a shotgun they were playing with while they were home alone.
The shooting happened Sunday at 11:15 a.m. at a house in the 28000 block of Greenbriar Drive near Joseph Road in Hockley, Waller County.
Deputies said the parents were at work when the two boys found shotguns in the bedroom closet. Investigators said the boys were playing with the guns when the shotgun went off, hitting the 11-year-old boy, Gage Rogers, in the back.
Gage was taken to the Tomball Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The brother was taken to the Justice of the Peace Office, but released later to his parents.
There's no word yet if the boy or his parents will face charges. That decision will likely be made by a grand jury.
"The guns were normally left in a locked bedroom, and we verified that with a number of people that the bedroom normally stayed locked," Capt. Joe Hester said. "Right now, it's just a tragic accident. Somehow the door was left open and the boys got a hold of the shotgun."
Children's Protective Services is investigating the case.

text: This graduate-level seminar is an intensive introduction to the anthropological study of language. In it we examine language as a cultural system and speech as a socially embedded communicative practice through which social relations and cultural forms are constituted. We pay particular attention to the key concepts of text and context. What exactly is a text? What do we really mean when we talk about sociocultural context or when we claim to be contextualizing ethnographic knowledge? Other topics include the relation of language to other sign systems, speech acts and performativity, speech genres, ritual language, oratory, language and politics, and ideologies of language. This seminar has several goals: (1) to help students develop a critical awareness of the place of language in the constitution of social relations; (2) to provide them with a comprehensive understanding of theory and practice in the field of linguistic anthropology; and (3) to equip them with the analytic tools needed to understand and evaluate contemporary research in this field.

Rolling hills. Natural creeks. Diverse wildlife. Miles of hiking trails winding through canyons and across ridges.
This is life on a rural stretch of land on the northeastern edge of Orange County, where two government-protected patches of parkland touch the reaching claws of suburban sprawl.
Chino Hills State Park and Carbon Canyon Regional Park are nestled above Brea and Yorba Linda.
Chino Hills State Park, once cattle grazing pastures and privately owned ranch land in the Santa Ana Mountains, opened in 1984 to the public with the help of Hills for Everyone, a citizens group that continues to fight to protect open space from development.
Today there is more than 14,000 acres of wilderness. The park is a local mecca for day hikers and mountain bikers. It is also a refuge for many native-California plants and animals, and a link in the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. More than 90 percent of the park was torched in the 2008 Freeway Complex fire. The landscape's rehabilitation continues today.
The park, dubbed an island of tranquility in a sea of urbanization, stretches 31 miles through portions of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties.
"Being surrounded by such urbanization, it's an amazing place to go to," said Kelly Elliott, the park's superintendent. "You feel as though you're in a totally different place. You can be in the middle of the park and have no idea what is surrounding you."
Among the endangered species that call the park's canyons and hills home is the least bell's vireo, a small bird making a comeback in the protected habitat.
On April 20, 36 volunteers gathered at the Chino Hills Discovery Center in Brea to participate in the annual restoration and clean up, picking up trash and removing non-native plants.
For two years, the park was closed to the public three days a week because of state budget cuts but returned to a seven-day-a-week schedule on April 1.
Then there is the smaller Carbon Canyon Regional Park, operated by the Orange County parks division.
There is a hiking trail, a native garden, volleyball courts, playgrounds and barbeques. The fishing lake will be dredged to 8 feet in 2014 and stocked with catfish and bluegill.
But it's the 10-acre grove of coastal redwoods – an Arbor Day donation in 1975 from Bank of America to commemorate the park's opening – that draws many visitors.
"That's the crown jewel of Carbon Canyon," said Ranger Joanne Taylor.
Taylor spent four years working to develop and cultivate the native garden on the park's east end. When Taylor first arrived at the park, the plot was covered in morning glory and mustard plants.
"I learned and studied and went to workshops to learn what native plants would work," she said. "Then I got busy."
Today, the 1-acre native garden is thriving with blossoming monkey-flowers, irises, heuchera plants, buckwheat and sage. The park, on the outskirts of Brea and on the road to Olinda Village, is a popular draw for locals. But more and more visitors from outside the region are stopping by, Taylor said.
Taylor recommends that visitors stop by the native garden, then stroll along the hiking trail into the grove of redwoods.
"It's a real tranquil place to be," she said.

ARMONK, N.Y. – More than two weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit North Castle, the town is just beginning to get back to normal as almost all residents have finally had electricity restored to their homes.
After this was the second year in a row that a major storm hit the area, North Castle Town Supervisor Howard Arden is pledging to work toward putting a plan in place that would prevent such a long clean-up period.
"I've been analyzing the situation and it can't continue this way," Arden said of the storm cleanup at last week's Town Board meeting. "It's just not acceptable."
Arden said that last year members of the Town Board had a similar issues following Hurricane Irene and met with members of Con Edison to create a resolution. Arden said a plan was not put in place following Irene and that something must be done after 98 percent of town residents were left without power following Sandy for a significant period of time.
"Last year when we met with Con Ed, everybody verbally lambasted them and they took their beating and nothing really happened," Arden said. "It's bigger than just North Castle obviously, but we can work with other towns and officials."
The main reason why so many residents in North Castle lost power was because of fallen trees and downed wires. Arden said there are only two solutions to that problem: cutting down the trees or bury the power lines in the ground, which is a much more likely solution.
Town Board member John Cronin said working toward burying more power lines throughout North Castle should be a goal of the board's in 2013.
"The power problem is going to require a long term fix that is not inexpensive," Cronin said. "But there are fixes we could do to give a significant portion of the town power during events like this that happen far too frequently."

After watching the crowd chant "MVP!" for Aaron Gray I can only imagine what they'd do if we drafted MKG
After watching the crowd chant "MVP!" for Aaron Gray I can only imagine what they'd do if we drafted MKG
Comparing Barnes to MKG. Click the link to see the write up on each. End is below.
So Who is the Pick?
Well, a lot of it depends on the situation. Barnes, a year older, figures to be the more NBA ready player of the two. Kidd-Gilchrist does have more upside, though, and if he can overhaul his jump shot into something reliable hell be very scary.
Its unlikely that either of them become franchise players or number one options. Thats not to say that they wont make fine number two options or stellar third options, though. Based off of the way the standings are right now, Barnes and Kidd-Gilchrist will likely end up either with the Charlotte Bobcats, New Jersey Nets or Toronto Raptors, who would be thrilled to have one of them fall to them.
Theres a saying when it comes to evaluating the draft that you cant accurately do so until a few years down the line. That will be the case in determining whether or not Barnes or MKG was the right pick. Theyre both fine players who will make tremendous additions, but a few years down the line its likely that one surpasses the other. It will just come down to whether or not a team wants to gamble and invest in Kidd-Gilchrists immense potential, or go the safer route with Barnes, who will almost certainly be a contributor immediately. There are plenty of reasons to like one over the other and vice versa. The deciding factors could end up being their play in the NCAA Tournament and predraft workouts.
Since we have that defensive centre coming in, I think with that anchor defensively, and the fact Andrea has improved on that side as well, we can have trust in them to "gamble." You can go for steals and not worry because of your big men down low protecting the paint. MKG is a very good on-ball defender, defensive stopper type player, hits the glass, energy player, but we kind of have that in James Johnson, but not a defensive stopper, plus our struggle is the scoring from there.
I would love to have Barnes, his scoring is great, and like the article said, will be a contributor right away, we need that outside threat, and even though he's not a big slasher, there's a reason why Demar Derozan is here.
The only problem is Barnes may be gone once it's our turn to pick, so we would HAVE to choose MKG if that's what BC is basically trying to pursue, but if he's not gone, I'm taking Barnes.
I like Quincy Miller and Perry Jones, tweeners but hell they've got some game, we'll see how the NCAA tournament ranks out, because something can happen and show out like what happened with Derrick Williams.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Brad Beal is a good player, maybe top 5, lottery for sure. I'd take Lamb over him though.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Idk really, both very good players anyway.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Btw Quincy miller isn't a tweener he's a straight up 3. Probably would be the best in the draft if he didn't have that injury. He is probably the most all around player on the offensive end. He can drive and put it down, he can cross you up and break your ankles, he can pull up and drain the jumper, and he's very long and athletic. I just hope he declares and we are in position to draft him.
Miller does have a ceilling but PJ3's is higher. Like PJ3 has league MVP potential.
Both are great prospects, but PJ3 is more NBA ready and there are no injury concerns with him.
Draft express has a nice piece on Miller now. Does a good job breaking his game down and his flaws. He's certainly a guy that COULD be great and COULD overcome his injuries but there's a lot of what ifs there. I have a feeling he'll fall into the late teens and make a lucky team very happy.
Espn insider has a nice piece on the draft in general, too. Outside of Davis virtually every player has question marks, you have to pick your poison on what you're willing to be ok with.
I stand firm on MKG is the best prospect after Davis.
I don't agree with him 100% i do think its a great draft, but he makes some good points.What happened to the 'great' 2012 draft?
February, 24, 2012
By Chad Ford
Getty Images, US Presswire
Fabulous freshmen and returning stars should have made the 2012 draft great. What happened?
In July, NBA scouts and executives were projecting the 2012 NBA draft to be one of the best in a decade.
With a potential lockout and other factors in play, an unusually high number of prominent college players passed on their opportunities to jump to the NBA in 2011. North Carolina's Harrison Barnes, Baylor's Perry Jones, Kansas' Thomas Robinson, Ohio State's Jared Sullinger, Kentucky's Terrence Jones, Florida's Patric Young, UConn's Jeremy Lamb, North Carolina's John Henson, Duke's Mason Plumlee and UNC's Tyler Zeller all were considered potential lottery picks in 2011. Another year in school was supposed to give them even more appeal.
We were also projecting as many as 10 freshmen as potential lottery picks: Kentucky's Anthony Davis, UConn's Andre Drummond, Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Baylor's Quincy Miller, Florida's Bradley Beal, North Carolina's James Michael McAdoo, Duke's Austin Rivers, Kentucky's Marquis Teague, Texas' Myck Kabongo and Memphis' Adonis Thomas.
That's 20 players for 14 lottery spots. That's what you call a stacked draft.
But as we enter the last week of February, NBA executives are rushing to downgrade the draft.
"Everyone talks about how great this draft is," one NBA GM told ESPN.com. "On paper in July, it really looked that way. On the ground in February, I'm not that impressed. Anthony Davis is great. But after that, there are a lot of question marks and a surprising lack of depth. I'm not sure that the 2012 draft will be better than the 2011 one."
What's causing the pessimism?
Davis has lived up to, and perhaps even surpassed, expectations. But most of the rest of the crop of returning players and freshmen haven't measured up.
Barnes has shown he's a lethal scorer -- but a one-dimensional one who doesn't seem to make anyone around him better. Perry Jones has reverted back to his wallflower ways. Terrence Jones, despite the talent, is still maddeningly inconsistent. Sullinger is effective, but seems to have hit his ceiling as a freshman. Henson is still a defensive force, but the offense is a work in progress. Ditto for Plumlee and Young. Lamb seems too laid-back to really carry a team the way his former teammate Kemba Walker did last season.
Of the returning collegians, only three -- Robinson, Zeller and Damian Lillard -- have lived up to or exceeded expectations. Robinson's toughness and athleticism should make him a staple in the league for a decade. Zeller will start somewhere thanks to his ability to run the floor like a guard. Lillard is the draft's biggest sleeper, but has been consistently better every season.
The same problems are found throughout the freshman class. Andre Drummond may have the physical tools of Amare Stoudemire -- but he doesn't play like him. Drummond can look awesome in one game and completely disappear in the next.
Miller has had his moments, but seems like he's still not fully recovered from ACL surgery last year. Beal looked like the next Ray Allen or Eric Gordon in high school, but hasn't quite lived up to the hype on a Florida team that often asks him to play out of position. Rivers has hit some big shots, but he doesn't look like the dominant player he was in high school. McAdoo has been regulated to bench duty and hasn't the super sub we thought he'd be. Teague and Kabongo have had some success, but both look a long ways away from being an NBA point guard. Thomas struggled out of the gate before a season-ending injury struck.
Really, just two freshmen, Kidd-Gilchrist and Indiana's Cody Zeller, have exceeded expectations. We had Kidd-Gilchrist ranked No. 3 on our Big Board in July, so it's a bit of stretch to say he's exceeded expectations. But the truth is that Kidd-Gilchrist has lived up to all the hype about his motor and toughness while showing a better offensive game than he did in high school.
We thought Zeller wasn't a serious one-and-done prospect, but next to Davis, he's been the second most efficient freshman in college basketball and has turned around the Hoosiers' program. He's now a legitimate lottery pick.
So sure, if everyone lived up to the hype, this could've been one of the best drafts ever. Instead we're left with one sure thing in Davis. Barnes will be a great scorer in the league -- but will he ever be any better than Danny Granger? Most teams are looking for more with the No. 2 pick in a great draft. Coaches will fall in love with Kidd-Gilchrist, but unless he develops a very consistent game from beyond the arc, his upside looks to be on par with a Gerald Wallace. Drummond has the tools of Stoudemire, but he could also bust out of the league in a few years. Beal is the one guy that's probably underrated right now.
After those five, the talent downgrades to good starter and then, after the 10th or 11th pick, to solid rotation player.
Good draft? Sure. Great draft? Hardly.

Hey folks,
I'm a newbie who just installed GhostBSD 3.5. I happened to see thar it's based on FreeBSD 9.2 and hence has no support for AMD Radeon GPUs. How can I go about it now? I don't need any 3D acceleration. I just want my 6450HD to work! VESA driver would do. How do I install it?
Any help is gratefully appreciated.

AFL-CIO pushes path to citizenship
The AFL-CIO is launching a 14-city campaign to build support for a pathway to citizenship, even as the union's president continues to negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce over the inclusion of a guest worker program in a final immigration reform deal.
"There was no surge demanding a guest-worker program," Los Angeles County Federation of Labor Secretary-Treasurer Maria Elena Durazo said Thursday on a conference call announcing the campaign, referring to the results of the 2012 election. "There was a surge in the Latino vote."
Story Continued Below
The call, which AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka repeatedly tried to bring back to the push for a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States even as reporters peppered him with questions about negotiations over the guest worker program, highlighted the dual role labor has in the immigration debate.
While the group is promising a strong campaign backing a reform deal, similar to the one that helped President Barack Obama pass health care reform, it is also deeply involved in negotiations over a guest worker program. Disagreements between labor and business over a guest worker program helped kill an immigration reform deal in 2007.
Trumka was critical of guest worker programs again on Thursday, saying they "do not reflect America's democratic values."
Trumka and Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue have been negotiating the final details of the guest worker program to be included in the Senate's Gang 0f 8 proposal. Trumka said he and Donohue were working toward an agreement on a "data-driven" guest worker program that would allow more workers into the country during good economic times while closing the window slightly during downturns. But Trumka wouldn't elaborate on any hang-ups in the negotiations.
"I'm not going to highlight areas of disagreement because I believe it's more important to highlight areas of agreement," Trumka said. "We're both working in good faith."
Trumka did later add that it was important for guest workers to not be tied down to a single employer, arguing it made employees ripe for abuse.
"The first thing that happens when a worker complains about unsafe conditions, or getting cheated on pay, the employer threatens to deport them," Trumka said.
Durazo and Trumka both painted immigration reform as a natural part of labor's agenda, saying granting citizenship to workers would improve their wages by up to 15 percent and help them avoid unsafe labor conditions.
"A roadmap to citizenship for all those who are Americans in every way but on paper is critical for all working families," Trumka said, adding, "It's about everybody playing by the same rules and stopping unscrupulous employers from exploiting those workers."
While Senators appear ready to support a pathway to citizenship, members of the House Republican majority are deeply skeptical of what they call amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The first event of the 14-city campaign, which an AFL-CIO spokesman said could expand, was Wednesday in Raleigh, North Carolina. The other 13 cities are Las Vegas, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Anaheim, Calif., San Francisco, Miami, St. Paul, Minn., Phoenix, New York City and Chicago.

The circumstances surrounding the drowning death of actress Natalie Wood may have been different than originally believed, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office said in a report released Monday.
In the report, which was dated May 29, 2012, Interim Coroner Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran said he could not rule out the possibility that Wood, whose death was originally ruled accidental, did not go into the water that night of her own volition.
Instead, Sathyavagiswaran said, the circumstances surrounding the death were "not clearly established."
Wood had previously been believed to have possibly climbed out of the yacht on which she was vacationing with her husband, actor Robert Wagner, and a friend, perhaps taking a dinghy to the nearby shore.
But the dinghy was never started, the coroner's report said, and Wood was not dressed in a way that indicated that she had planned to go to shore. The 43-year-old actress had bruises on her arms and legs, but no head trauma, the report said.
These factors, the coroner wrote, led to the possibility that she did not go into the water deliberately.
"This Medical Examiner is unable to exclude non-volitional, unplanned entry into the water," he wrote.
However, the coroner refrained from speculating as to what really happened. He did not say that she was pushed, that she fell, or even completely rule out the prior theory that she left deliberately in the dinghy.
Sathyavagiswaran also said that he was changing Wood's cause of death from "probable drowning" to "drowning and other undetermined factors."
The manner of death is being changed to "undetermined."
"How injury occurred will be listed as found floating in ocean," the coroner wrote. "Circumstances not clearly established."

Good eve:
a function searches a string for a substring and returns the sub triggering an event, simply:
I would appreciate some hints (only hints, please) to nudge me in the proper direction to: search said string for not only one word(ex:"dog") but two words (ex:"dog", "cat") I have tried a few methods such as placing additional, uniquely-named var arrays and setting "pch" accordingly (NOTE: the above code ^ does not reflect these stated adjustments-- it failed I believe due to that fact that NULL was returned (?)Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
char resp1[]="good";
char name[256];
cout<< "Hello, how are you today?\n"<< endl;
cin.getline (name,256);
char * pch;
pch=strstr (name, "good"); //Searching for good in ^ Char str
if(pch !=NULL)
cout<< "I am glad to hear you are doing well today."<< endl;
cout<< "Is anything wrong at all? Would you like to discuss it? \n"<< endl;
return 0; //END
Any help or encouragement would be greatly encouraged-- you guys are just great :)
Cheers, reRanger
