INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County leaders are considering opening a shooting range, but would like a third party to take on the responsibility.
Supervisors discussed the idea during their regular meeting Oct. 11. It's a topic they have discussed for more than a year.
Deputy County Administrator Mitch Smith told the board that the proposed land for the shooting range was off Graystone Road, just across the street from the county's closed landfill.

Benefits for Veterans
General Information
The Post 9/11 G I Bill
The Post-9/11 GI Bill is for individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The Post-9/11 GI Bill will become effective for training on or after August 1, 2009.
The Yellow Ribbon Program
The "Yellow Ribbon Program" is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (also known as The Post 9/11 GI Bill). This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with Veterans Administration to fund tuition expenses that exceed the annual maximum paid through the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. The institution can waive up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution.

Southwestern University is committed to ensuring that our prospective service member and veteran students are aware of the financial investment they are making from the beginning and have adopted the Financial Aid Shopping Sheet to assist in making an educated decision on where to attend school.

I had been thinking about getting one of your guitars for many months. I don't travel all that much, but the guitar is such an integral part of my life.
I have been playing for so many years...I teach it, and I compose a lot for acoustic guitar...it's what I do for my living. I love playing...everyday!
When I have gone on vacation and brought a guitar with (as checked in luggage) I have always worried about the possibility of a damaged instrument. Because of that, I haven't usually brought along a guitar, and while I am on vacation I start to miss playing by the second or third day! Withdrawal symptoms!!!
Finding out about the Voyage-Air guitars was a dream come true.
Everything I have read and seen on videos and the like has been positive reviews too. So, I figured that within a year or so, I'd get one.
Well...my thoughts were answered a couple of weeks back when my wife decided to surprise me with the purchase of the VAD-04 dreadnaught for my birthday.
This guitar is a real fine sounding instrument. It is a well-built sonically accurate gem, and it's intonation is spot on. I play this guitar almost exclusively now, and I own a number of other good acoustics.
This guitar was also setup right out of the box.
I usually spend a bit of time tweaking any new guitar I purchase to improve action and feel. I did not have to do a thing when I tuned it up after I took it out of its case.
I am so happy! Now I can always count on having a good sounding guitar to play wherever I am!
I would recommend this guitar to anyone, and especially, for someone who loves having a guitar with them when using air travel as part of the journey.
This guitar is going to become a great part of my musical adventures ahead!
Good going on this fantastic concept for the guitar.
You folks hit it out of the park!
Kind regards,
Mike McGreevy

Guaranteed to instantly make your kids room pop, cover the entire room with this easy, removable Toy Story Yellow Star Sidewall Wallpaper by York Wallcoverings.
Toy Story - Officially Licensed by Disney/Pixar
* Note: Packaged and sold as a double roll *
Yes, it is confusing, we know. The manufacturer prices wallpaper as "single rolls", BUT they only package/ship them as "double" rolls. What does that mean? Bare with us, but think of it like rolls of paper towels! They take 2 single size rolls and make one big roll. That's basically the same thing with wallpaper.
Example: When you order wallpaper, you must order in even numbers (2,4,6,8,etc. of single rolls). For every 2 rolls you order, you'll receive 1 double roll.
If you are still having trouble with how many rolls you need to order, feel free to live chat us or email email@example.com and we will be happy to assist you!
We offer free standard ground shipping on U.S. orders over $75. Orders are processed within 24-48 hours (Mon-Fri). Once your order is processed, you will receive an email with tracking info (not available for samples). Typical delivery is 4-10 business days. Faster options available during checkout.
Your satisfaction is what matters most to us. Return your purchase within 30 days of delivery. Open rolls of wallpaper and samples cannot be returned. Some products subject to a restocking fee. Read Full Return Policy
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or click the chat button to contact us and we can look up the wallpaper pattern number for you.
Every order helps support the teachers & kids at DonorsChoose.org to provide materials for their classroom.
Offering a superbb selection of brand name designer wallpaper from York Wallcoverings.
Sure Strip Wallpaper is now easier than ever to hang. Watch this 2 minute video that will walk you through it.

>> we're become now with some food for thought . consider the fact that our country throws out an estimated $165 billion worth of food every year. much of it still perfectly good, according to a recent study. that's the idea behind a new grocery store that will open in june. it's called the daily table. it will sell deeply discounted foods that have recently reached their expiration date . nbc's miguel almaguer has our report.
>> reporter: shopping for a healthy meal, this single mom is at the food bank , looking for affordable groceries just past their prime.
>> what if it's a day or two old past due? they're still very much edible.
>> reporter: exactly the customers doug rowe is looking for. former president of trader joe 's will open a new grocery store that sells expired food for pennies on the dollar.
>> there's a lot of food out there that's wholesome and healthy that's just being disposed.
>> he says he will offer fresh produce.
>> to use ingredients or be able to sell.
>> fat-free milk.
>> reporter: and other dprogrocery products at deep, deep discounts.
>> it's perfectly sound, it has a sell-by date or best by date. they pull that off the shelf. some do it several days before. it's being tossed. that's a crime.
>> reporter: according to a recent study, 40% of food produced in this country is dumped in the trash every year. $165 billion worth of edible food, tossed out.
>> those date labels you see on foods, sell by, use by, they are actually not federally regulated and they're not meant to indicate safety.
>> reporter: with that in mind, on this lot outside boston, rowe will open the daily table. his nonprofit store will collect, then sell what other gro grocers won't. it will also prepare hot meals. it knows its concept may be difficult for some to swallow.

Eventration of the diaphragm with gastric volvulus is uncommon. Gastric perforation in these cases is rare and usually associated with acute gastric volvulus with strangulation.

Pick Holiness
Will Willimon is a retired bishop of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church and professor of Christian ministry at Duke Divinity School.
While we always need grace—grace defined by us Methodists as the gratuitous power of God to enable us to live transformed lives for God—Americans today are in desperate need of the disciplines of holiness. As a pastor, I know firsthand the morally chaotic, sadly devastated lives of those who thought it was possible to be good without God. The wreckage and superficiality of undisciplined lives surround us—and I'm not just talking about Donald Trump.
We Wesleyans believe that holiness is evidence of grace working in us. Too often, popular evangelical Christianity has stressed grace as what God in Christ has done for us; holiness churches stress grace as what God is daily doing in us and through us. Holiness is a name for what happens to us when a powerful, life-changing God commandeers our lives.
Grace is more than some benign, sweet syrup poured over us by a God who only says, "I love you just as you are; promise me you won't change a thing." Holiness of heart and life demonstrates to the world that Christ is able to not only love us as we are but also change us into what he would have us be. Holiness is Christ not only forgiving our sin but also redeeming us and utilizing us for his work in the world.
In other words, holiness is God's grace in action, enlisting us to work for God's will in the world.
Holiness gives us the courage to be in but not of the world. Flaccid Christians reduce Christianity to a personal feeling and are thereby left defenseless against the lures of American consumerist, ...1

Kathy Griffin has been taking her clothes off lately. A lot. On Late Night with David Letterman. On the cover of her new video. On New Year's Eve in Times Square with Anderson Cooper. (Then she texted him naked photos of herself from his summer home while he was hosting the news on CNN.) A "D-lister" no more, the 51-year-old comedian has a prodigious work ethic. She cranked out four cable specials last year, performs her stand-up show approximatley100 times a year, hosts her own daytime television talk show — called Kathy, of course — and now it looks as though she's got a club hit on her hands as the remixes of the Kathy theme song (which she sings herself, naturally) are moving up the Billboard dance chart — fast. She's become a role model for aspiring female comedians by almost single-handedly convincing America that, yes, chicks can be funny, too. And when you talk to her, you get the feeling that after all she's done, this redhead is just getting started.
VCReporter: I see you just released a new comedy video called Pants Off/Tired Hooker.
Kathy Griffin: Yes, as well as my Emmy-nominated show Kathy, you can get that on iTunes or buy the DVD if you're old-timey. And Tired Hooker [was] in fact nominated for an Emmy this year, so I'll be bringing up all the behind-the-scenes Emmy dirt and naming names and telling tales out of school in ways that I'm not supposed to.
I don't think your fans would have it any other way. So who's pissing you off right now?
Well, you know, I never met a Kardashian that I don't like as a comedian.
Your current status with The View is difficult to nail down. Are you banned or unbanned at the moment?
Banned. I would say I've been banned and unbanned about a half a dozen times.
You really became a household name — in a stroke of delicious irony — when your Bravo comedy special The D-List became a huge hit. So I suppose you really can't claim to be a D-lister anymore, can you?
No, I have a talk show. I have Emmys. I have Grammy nominations.
You have a lot of Emmys.
I have a dance hit!
I was going to ask you about that next.
This is where it gets fun. So, never to be bored, I thought, "What can I do between season one and season two of the Kathy show?"
Because taking some time off would be unthinkable for you, right?
Because I like to build a bridge and I don't like to not work for even one second. So, one: I sing the theme to my talk show, which is really corny. And two, I've got Emilio Estefan and the Cuban mafia behind it to do a dance mix. And then their daughter Emily did another dance mix. And I now have a dance mix hit called "I Say It."
And you have all these different versions!
There are seven versions, and apparently the kids like to have their glow sticks and their bath salts. They like to listen to a version of a song after a different version of the same song.
When you were 18, you convinced your parents to move to L.A. so you could be famous. Is that true?
Not to be famous, but I wanted to be an actress. They were thinking about retiring either in San Diego or Los Angeles.
So it wasn't as though you browbeat your parents into moving to L.A. — even though you were already 18 — just so you had someone to do your laundry and keep the fridge stocked?
No, no, no. Not at all. I merely . . . steered them. There was some plotting. I'll admit it. But they just honestly lived to play golf. All they wanted was a nice tomato soup and a public golf course. So I said, well, of course, whatever you want to do. You're my mom and dad. You guys are paying the bills. But I think the golf courses are a little nicer in Los Angeles, and I think I could maybe go on auditions.
You are working, a lot. Didn't you have four comedy specials on the TV this year?
Last year I did four in one year, which has never been done.
Do you worry about maybe being a little greedy with the four comedy specials in one year? Can't you leave some for the other comics?
No, I think it's because I'm a female comic. I have to jump higher and work harder.
You've changed a lot of minds about the viability of women in stand-up comedy.
When you have a landscape that is so saturated with everything from social media to a million cable channels, you can get comedy or drama from so many different sources. I find what I do is the one thing you really can't change [and that's] who you are. My comedy comes from my own embarrassing life first, and then my own take on celebrities, and I make it very personal. I don't just talk about random celebrities. I talk about celebrities I have had a personal run-in with. I find that people really like having that mask ripped off.
You're just telling stories up there, usually about someone from the Kardashian clan. And everybody likes a good celebrity gossipy tale.
But not everyone has actually met the person. Any comedian in Anytown, U.S.A., can say, "Doesn't Celine Dion have a funny accent?" But when you come see me, I'm going to say, "Here's what happened last time I ran into Celine Dion."
I think it's great. And it's proved to be very entertaining.
Doing live stand-up is my favorite thing ever. I really love it. I'm on the road pretty much every weekend. There's nothing like live entertainment. It is completely no-holds-barred. It is the last bastion of a censorship-free comedic environment. In the live shows I really can and do say things that I can't even do in my specials.
OK, tell me how it works.
My process is, I'm always looking. Always looking for something that is comedically entertaining for the audience. So obviously, I'm watching everything political right now and I have a voracious appetite for that anyway. And maybe I don't have to make it accessible. Maybe I'm just a big liberal and I can just do rants about it that are so over-the-top that even the conservatives won't get mad at me because I'm just basically losing my mind on stage.
Good luck with that.
And at the same time we're all looking at the political landscape, nobody can stop talking about Honey Boo Boo child.
Speaking of politics: Is it just me or is the Republican Party just getting more and more regressive, retarded and plain ol' batshit crazy?
We are pretty much rolling back the clock. I think that's been happening . . . a little bit with Reagan but definitely with Dubya, even more than his father. And now people are refighting the separation of church and state and they're trying to rewrite the Constitution and teach creationism and all this stuff which is completely antithetical to what I grew up with. My mom and dad worked hard to send me to a school where education was paramount. I tease the nuns because they tried to make me a Catholic but it didn't stick, but certainly not for one minute did those nuns try to teach me about creationism.
What do you do to relax? How do you chill out? What do you do in your spare time — if you ever actually allow yourself some spare time?
I actually work out a lot. I hang out with my friends a lot. Shoot the breeze. I love a dinner party. I love smart conversation. And then, I love really ridiculous television beyond control. I mean, I can watch TV 12 hours a day, no problem.
What are your favorites right now?
Everything from The Newsroom and Political Animals to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and everything inbetween. I watch all the news cycles and then I'll watch everything from 24/7 Mayweather [vs. Cotto] to every single one of the Housewives franchises to Bridezillas to Boardwalk Empire. I like that stuff. I actually don't watch a ton of comedy because when you do comedy you don't really make fun of stuff that's funny. In my act it's a lot more likely that I'll make fun of Honey Boo Boo child then make fun of 30 Rock. So I tend to watch more of meltdown reality and drama shows.
How much time do you spend on the show? Is it a full-time job when it's on?
Well, the whole thing is full-time. It's either the Kathy show or it's prepping for one of the specials or it's going on the road or it's doing something crazy like a dance mix of the theme song from Kathy.
There's also all the time you spend working on ideas that never happen, right?
Not with me. I'm not really in movies so I'm not somebody who auditions for movies or TV shows. It's my own show or nothing!
So you're not spending a lot of time pitching ideas to studios and stuff like that?
No. They come to me!
That's what I'd call an "A-List" attitude, Ms. Griffin!
[Laughs] Thanks, Todd!
Kathy Griffin will perform at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Friday, Feb. 1.Tickets are $69-$95, available through ticketmaster.com.

|MLBPA/MLB News Release
With the MLB postseason fast approaching, the current list of most popular MLB jerseys is filled with young stars and players fighting to help their teams reach the postseason. However, sitting atop the list is retiring Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. Following Rivera on the list, released jointly today by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, are young stars Matt Harvey of the New York Mets, Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Manny Machado of the Baltimore Orioles and Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants.
The list is based on sales of Majestic jerseys from MLB.com/Shop, the official online shop of Major League Baseball, since the All-Star break.
Young stars dominate the list, as the top 20 features 16 players age 30 or younger, including five -- Harvey, Puig, Machado, Mike Trout and Bryce Harper -- age 24 or younger. Three players having breakout seasons -- Yoenis Cespedes of the Oakland Athletics, Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles and Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks -- cracked the top 20 for the first time.
Players representing 13 different clubs make up the top 20 (including nine different clubs in the top 10), with only the Dodgers (Puig, Clayton Kershaw and Hyun-Jin Ryu) and the Yankees (Rivera, Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano) having as many as three players on the list. The top 20 includes 16 players who were All-Stars this year, nine infielders, five outfielders, four pitchers and two catchers.

Sentencing for two co-defendants in a multimillion dollar, multi-state real estate and securities investment scam centered in Southwest Riverside County has been pushed back to June.
The family of Hendrix Montecastro, 40, who was convicted of more than 100 felony charges for the role he played in a Ponzi-type scam that bilked multiple victims out of their savings, homes and credit worthiness, hired a lawyer to review roughly 8,000-pages of transcripts to determine if a motion will be filed for a new trial.
On Monday, retained attorney Daniel Greenberg asked Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Prevost to postpone sentencing and set June 4 for a status conference.
Montecastro, who faces a state prison sentence of 124 years from the March conviction in one of the longest trials in Riverside County's recent history, waived his right to sentencing within 60 days; as did his mother, Helen Pedrino, 61, of Murrieta.
Pedrino, who faces a prison sentence of 17 years for guilty verdicts rendered in the trial on charges relating to her role as a master recruiter, on Monday had her request granted for an attorney to be appointed by the court to review trial transcripts.
Victims, some of whom testified in the 86-day-long trial, said outside the court that they expected this twist.
"They just pulled another rabbit out of their hat,'' Deborah Weber noted.
The scheme, fueled by seminars that convinced investors to turn over control of their assets, equity and charge cards for real estate and foreign currency investment, imploded when the real estate bubble burst.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower said she was ready to go forward with sentencing but would submit to the court's discretion in granting a continuance in the case.
Prevost apologized to the victims for the last-minute turn-of-events, but offered as an aside in a case riddled with unpredicted turns, "This was not unforeseen."
On Monday, Prevost made another ruling that offered strong indication the defense will pick gingerly through documents, testimony and procedures for evidence of missteps or loopholes to warrant a new trial or an appeal.
Thirteen guilty verdicts of more than 40 felony counts against Pedrino and two enhancement charges against Montecastro were struck down by Prevost who said they were not in proper form.
Hightower blamed clerical errors on the dismissed counts.
Before the hearing ended, she handed Prevost a thick stack of motions for banks to disclose assets in accounts held by co-conspirators in the fraud.
Frozen assets will be tapped for victim restitution, she said, and expertise lent to help victims. Expertise will also help victims apply to a corporate fraud restitution fund. Victims not named in the case can seek a civil judgment, Hightower said.
After the hearing, Greenberg said he has spoken only briefly with Montecastro. "I know there will be a lot of reading and research ahead,'' he said, noting the likelihood work will not be done by June 4.
The Montecastro family is working to get funds to pay for the transcripts, he said. Once ordered, it will take about two weeks to get the transcripts, Greenberg said.

New developments in the case of the so-called Cleveland Strangler.
Anthony Sowell is accused of killing eleven women.
19 Action News finding a flurry of court paper arguments - again - over what's fair to Sowell. First, a Wednesday meeting behind closed doors. The trial unchanged, and is still set for June 6th.
Sowell is facing the death penalty for killing eleven women. Victims found on Cleveland's eastside in and around Sowell's Imperial Avenue home. He's charged with raping several other women as well, and two more recently came forward saying they're victims, too.
So what must be decided before the trial? First, murder charges. Cuyahoga County prosecutors just filed papers saying they should be able to tell the jury about the rapes.
Sowell's lawyers are trying to block that. His lawyers have complaints about the jury already, and have thrown out 1,000 possible jurors who have been called or maybe have two juries. One to decide if Sowell's guilty, and another to vote on if he's sent to death row. Prosecutors responding to all of that say uh-uh.

Neuse Boulevard in New Bern will not be repaved until next year.
Neuse Boulevard in New Bern will not be repaved until next year.
The N.C. Department of Transportation was planning to begin repaving the boulevard after the city replaced the water main under the roadway.
Jordan Hughes, city engineer, said all of the utility work on Neuse Boulevard is basically finished and the contractor was just finishing up loose ends.
Reed Smith, DOT district engineer, said for the past two weeks, city contractors were still making repairs to Neuse Boulevard.
�The fall is the best case scenario,� Smith said. �But realistically, I think it will be in early spring.�
Preston Hunter, DOT division maintenance engineer, said in March the tentative date to advertise bids to repave Neuse Boulevard was July. But if the water main project was not completed, it would be the following spring, he said.
�We are now looking at March 15 to begin the repaving project,� he said. �I think the city has got all of the utilities replaced. But Piedmont Natural Gas is still looking at boring lines under the road.�
Hunter said it was now getting late in the paving season to start the approximately $2 million project that covers 3 miles of roadway.
The contract will probably be let for the length of the paving season, from March to November, Hunter said.
�That would give the contractor more time to work with,� he said.
The city replaced a 70-year-old pipe that had leaks causing Neuse Boulevard to buckle and crack. The old water main was replaced from First Street to Glenburnie Road.

Bills' EJ Manuel out 4 to 6 weeks with knee injury
Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel is expected to miss another four to six weeks now that he's begun rehabbing his sprained right knee.
Coach Doug Marrone was able to provide a more definitive timetable on Manuel's recovery Wednesday after consulting with team doctors. Manuel began working out on his own Tuesday for the first time since being hurt in a loss to Cleveland on Oct. 3.
Manuel has an opportunity to return before the Bills have their bye week off on Nov. 24.
Thad Lewis, who was promoted off the practice squad last week, is set to make his second consecutive start Sunday, when Buffalo (2-4) plays at Miami (3-2). Lewis practiced fully on Wednesday after hurting his right foot in a 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati last weekend.

text: I placed two trackables in caches in New Brunswick over a month ago. One of them was a TB that just wanted to travel around and the other was a geocoin that wanted to go to Canada. Neither of those caches have visits logged since we were there. I feel bad that the trackables are sitting in caches rather than being moved around. Should I plan a daytrip to go back and move them in to other caches that are more frequently visited? Should I try to find someone in NB who can move it along for me?

But Supreme Collab Will Go On... Adam Kimmel Announces One-Year Break From Fashion
In a surprising announcement, Adam Kimmel breaks the news of his year-long furlough. The New York
In a surprising announcement, Adam Kimmel breaks the news of his year-long furlough. The New York fashion designer will be taking a year off to essentially rediscover himself, but he assures fans that he will be honoring certain pre-commitments – including the label's Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection, his fall/winter designs for Carhartt, and the anticipated 2012 collaboration with Supreme. Adam Kimmel's Spring/Summer 2013 collection, however, will not be presented in Paris as previously planned. We will be anticipating your return, Adam.
"After ten years and eighteen collections, I have decided to take a year-long sabbatical from fashion. I intend to use this time to enrich my vision, spend time with my family, and explore a number of creative arenas that have interested me while I'm still young.
I am a designer and creator, first and foremost, I look forward to utilizing this next year to experiment and learn, and channel what I find into new concepts, designs and projects. I believe this is how designers become better stewards to their work.
I want to say thank you for their support and to all those who have been taking this journey with me, my team, my friends, partners and Carhartt which has been a particularly meaningful collaboration for me.

Unhappy with "sporadic" compliance with his requests for open records, Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, wrote the chairman of the University of Texas System Board of Regents Tuesday demanding a meeting with system staff members who could give him a timetable for production of documents.
Referring to records requests sent in March and May, Martinez Fischer told chairman Gene Powell that "fulfillment of these requests has been sporadic, at best. Recently, the flow of documents has ceased and it appears from y view much is missing…"
He then suggests that Powell send staff members responsible for compliance to his office so that "a reasonable production schedule" could be worked out.
There's some irony in Martinez Fischer's letter: the San Antonio representative is a member of the Texas House Select Committee that is currently investigating Regent Wallace Hall for his frequent demands that UT-Austin produce massive open records requests on a very short timetable — sometimes within two weeks. From Martinez Fischer's letter, it appears the UT System is delaying its production of documents to lawmakers for up to five months.
"Timely, comprehensive and cooperative productions of do9cumetns …will be critical for my preparation as a member of the Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations and its on-going investigation of the actions of Regent Wallace Hall," Martinez Fischer wrote.

I've been meaning to follow up on Gene Healy's post from last week on the interrogation and prosecution of terror suspects. I share Gene's bemusement at the howls emanating from Republicans who have abruptly decided that George Bush's longstanding policy of dealing with terrorism cases through the criminal justice system is unacceptable with a Democrat in the White House. But I also think it's worth stressing that the arguments being offered – both in the specific case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and more generally – aren't very persuasive even if we suppose that they're not politically motivated.
Two caveats. First, folks on both sides would do well to take initial reports about the degree of cooperation terror suspects are providing with a grain of salt. For reasons too obvious to bother rehearsing, investigators won't always want to broadcast accurately or in detail the precise degree of cooperation a suspect is providing. Second, as Gene noted, given that it seems unlikely we'll need to use Abdulmutallab's statements against him at trial, the question of whether the civilian or military system is to be preferred can be separated from the argument about the wisdom of Mirandizing him. That said, the facts we have just don't seem to provide a great deal of support for the conclusion that, warning or no, criminal investigators are somehow incapable of effectively questioning terrorists.
Certainly if you ask veteran FBI interrogators, they don't seem to share this concern that they won't be able to extract intelligence their military counterparts would obtain. You might put that assessment down to institutional pride, but it's consistent with the evidence, as the FBI has had impressive successes on this front already. And if you don't want to take their word for it, you can always ask Judge Michael Mukasey who, before becoming attorney general under George W. Bush, ruled that military detainees were entitled to "lawyer up" – as critics of the Bush/Obama approach are wont to put it – explicitly concluding that "the interference with interrogation would be minimal or nonexistent."
Nor, contra the popular narrative, does it appear to have interfered in the Abdulmutallab case. Republicans leapt to construe sketchy early reports as implying that the failed bomber had been talking to investigators, then clammed up upon being read his Miranda rights and provided with counsel. But that turns out to have gotten the order of events wrong. In reality, Abdulmutallab was initially talkative – perhaps the shock of having set off an incendiary device in his pants overrode his training – but then ceased cooperating before being Mirandizied. Rather, it was the urging of his family members that appears to have been crucial in securing his full cooperation – family members whose assistance would doubtless have been far more difficult to secure without assurances that he would be treated humanely and fairly within the criminal justice system. It's possible, one supposes, that the emo terrorist might have broken still more rapidly in military custody, but it seems odd to criticize the judgment of the intelligence professionals directly involved with the case, given that their approach has manifestly worked, on the basis of mere speculation about the superior effectiveness of an alternative approach.
Stepping back from this specific case, there seem to be strong reasons to favor recourse to the criminal systems in the absence of some extraordinarily compelling justification for departing from that rule in particular cases. Perhaps most obviously, few terror suspects are quite so self-evidently guilty as Abdulmutallab, and so framing the question of their treatment as one of the due process rights afforded "terrorists" begs the question. The mantra of those who prefer defaulting to military trial is that "we are at war" – but this is an analytically unhelpful observation. We're engaged in a series of loosely connected conflicts, some of which look pretty much like conventional wars, some of which don't. This blanket observation tells us nothing about which set of tools is likely to be most effective in a particular case or class of cases – any more than it answers the question of which battlefield tactics will best achieve a strategic goal.
For the most part, the insistent invocation of the fact that "we're at war" seems to be a kind of shibboleth deployed by people who want to signal that they are Very, Very Serious about national security without engaging in serious thought about national security. If it came without costs, I would be loath to begrudge them this little self-esteem boosting ritual. But conflict with terrorists is, by definition, a symbolic conflict, because terrorism is first and foremost a symbolic act. As Fawaz Gerges documents in his important book The Far Enemy, jihadis had traditionally been primarily concerned with the fight to impose their rigid vision in the Muslim world, and to depose rulers perceived as corrupt or too secular. The controversial – and even among radical Islamists,quite unpopular – decision to strike "the Far Enemy" in the United States was not motivated by some blind bloodlust, or a desire to kill Americans as an end in itself. Rather, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri hoped that a titanic conflict between Islam and the West could revive flagging jihadi movement, galvanize the ummah, and (crucially) enhance the prestige of Al Qaeda, perceived within jihadi circles as a fairly marginal organization.
This has largely backfired. But it's important to always bear in mind that attacks on the United States, especially by sensational methods like airplane bombings, are for terror groups essentially PR stunts whose value is ultimately instrumental. They don't do it for the sheer love of blowing up planes; they do it as a means of establishing their own domestic credibility vis a vis more locally-focused Islamist groups (violent and peaceful) with whom they are competing for recruits. While our response to these attempts will often necessarily have some military component, there is no reason to bolster their outreach efforts by making a big public show of treating Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula as tantamount to a belligerent foreign state. Better, when it's compatible with our intelligence gathering and security goals, to treat Abdulmutallab and his cohorts as just one more band of thugs.

This original-owner Ram Air III, four-speed '69 Judge keeps its '70s style and has no plans to retire
When Jim Kowalski bought his '69 GTO Judge new, he knew it was a keeper but couldn't imagine it would still be handing down high-performance justice more than 40 years later.
"My '64 GTO convertible was totaled by a drunk driver in 1969, and the accident put me in the market for a new Pontiac," Jim recalls. "A friend of mine had a new Judge and it really impressed me, so I immediately started looking for one." After visiting three dealerships—one wanted to sell him a Verdoro Green Ram Air IV GTO, but he passed—Jim found a Carousel Red Ram Air III Judge on the new car lot of Coe-Hayden Motors in Ionia, Michigan. It was the only Judge at the dealership that day.
"It had 17 or so miles on it," Jim says. "I fell in love with it."
For a lot car, the Judge had every performance option Jim would have picked if he had special ordered it. The 366hp Ram Air III 400 and 3.55 gears came standard, and the Muncie four-speed, front disc brakes, Safe-T-Track, Rally gauges and clock, and hood-mounted tachometer were popular extra-cost performance items.
"The price was $3,900 including tax, tag, and a full tank of gas," he continues. "I put down a $1,300 cash deposit (all in hundred-dollar bills) on June 6, 1969, and came back the next day with 26 more hundred-dollar bills and drove it home."
When he got there, Jim's dad, Leonard (an Oldsmobile employee who drove a new company car every two years), offered to give up the family's one-car garage so that the Judge wouldn't see rain or snow. "He thought it was so cool," Jim says.
Soon thereafter, Jim treated his Judge to some of the popular aftermarket bolt-ons of the day—Anson Sprint aluminum slots, wide and beefy bias-ply tires, spring spacers, and air shocks. He even installed a Ram Air IV intake manifold. Since he worked at Lansing Plating, he chromed many of the engine-bay items, too: the upper Ram Air pan, air cleaner, breather tube, belt-drive pulleys, alternator, engine hoist hook, dipstick pull, heater core cover, master cylinder and brake booster, hoodspring, hood hinges, and more.
Jim had a favorite Friday and Saturday night cruise spot—Lansing, Michigan's Washington Avenue—that he and his friends affectionately called "The Gut." While Jim's friends lived by the motto, "Break it in hard from new, drive it fast, and expect it to have a short life," Jim took the high road. "I don't remember racing it much," he says. "Other guys street raced every weekend, but I loved the Judge and babied it. I wanted it to have a long life."
In 1970, the Judge took on a new role. "I married and it became the family car," he says. Six years and two kids later, his father gave him a '70 Oldsmobile, and Jim retired John DeLorean's flamboyant limited-edition musclecar to a weekend cruiser.
He says the next chapter in the Judge's story started in 1986, when he pulled and bagged the original 400, installed a '67 400 and straight dumps, and began taking the Judge to car shows. "I didn't realize how popular—or iconic—the Judge had become in all those years," he says.
In 2010, he reinstalled the original long-block, and asked Scott Tiemann of Supercar Specialties to give his Judge a budget restoration, focusing primarily on exterior rust repair and new paint. "The rust wasn't that bad for a Michigan car," Scott says. "You can tell it spent most of its life in a garage."
Scott stripped the paint, leaving factory-issued Carousel Red on the roof and decklid only. "I repaired spot rust in the rear quarters, front fenders, the left floor pan, and the bottom of the doors. Some of it had previously been addressed by body shops over the past 40 years, but to collision-shop standards. We re-performed that work and additional rust repair to my standards, which is based on a concours philosophy," he says.
PPG products were used in the restoration, K38 high-build urethane primer to smooth the body panels, and six coats of PPG lacquer in Carousel Red. Scott wet-sanded the new paint to match the surface of the existing OE paint with 1,500- and 2,000-grit sandpapers. He says, "It takes some expertise to blend the new paint to the original lacquer."
In 2011, Jim and his Judge returned to Scott—this time to get the original steel brake lines replaced. "Jim drove it for so many years that I felt it was time to take the car apart to preserve it," Scott explains. "After some discussion, we decided I would pull the body off the frame, replace the brake lines, and powdercoat the chassis. Since Jim wanted his Judge to retain a steeper rake from rear to front than the factory intended, I removed the old air shocks and spring spacers, and replaced them with 2-inch-taller-than-stock springs from Detroit Spring, custom 2-inch spacers, and longer-than-stock KYB shocks. It re-created the Judge's late-in-'69 street stance, but without the harsh ride qualities that Jim had lived with ever since then."
During the restoration, the men also agreed that the Judge's original mill was crying out for a metamorphosis. That entailed boring the 400's cylinders 0.030-inch, and mating the original crank with 6.625-inch Eagle forged rods and Federal Mogul forged pistons.
The No. 48 D-port heads were sent to SD Performance for CNC-porting, and upgraded with 2.11/1.77-inch stainless-steel valves, bronze valveguides, and Crane 1.65:1 rockers. A Crane hydraulic flat-tappet cam (218/224 duration, 0.500/0.500 lift, 112 LSA) directs the valvetrain components. Then the engine was reassembled and reinstalled.
Now oil is delivered via a Melling 60-psi pump; an ACDelco fuel pump delivers high-octane energy drink to the original-and-rebuilt Rochester Quadrajet; and the original distributor (with Mallory Uni-lite conversion module), factory coil, high-temp Super Stock 8mm wires, and AC45S plugs dictate spark delivery into the cylinders.
Hooker Headers (replacing this Judge's original Ram Air iron exhaust manifolds) route the spent gases through 1.75-inch primaries and 3.00-inch collectors, and then through a 2.5-inch dual exhaust featuring Flowmaster cans. The original single-piston, 10.9-inch front discs and rear drum brakes are rebuilt.
Now, despite having over 60,000 miles on the odometer, Jim says his '69 Judge is as fun to drive as when he bought it new. He also enjoys taking it to car shows. "I won Third Place in Modified at the 2009 GTOAA International Convention (the Co-vention) in Dayton, Ohio, and displayed it at the Ames Performance Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, in 2010 and 2011," he says.
If you're looking for an original-owner '69 GTO, don't put Jim and his Judge on your shortlist. "I don't know how it works in your town," he says smiling, "but in my town, the Judge is not for sale."

Hey guys and gals i thought i would do a tutorial on how to play our beloved CM16 on windows 10 pc/laptops and tablets.
BTW this works for windows xp upwards and not just windows 10 but this will not work on mobile devices running windows 10.
First you need a good pc/laptop or tablet, if you get a system requirement error then you can't install Blue Stacks.
Now you will need to install Blue Stacks as this will be your emulator like thing which is android based, see below for the link.
Now once its finished downloading simply install it by double tapping the .exe file which normally will be located in the download folder.
Now thats finished installing closing it will then open Blue Stacks and once that has opened you will be presented with a welcome tab, now at the top just below the tabs there will be a search box simply type in champ man 16, you will notice that it can't be found and that a message will appear about searching on the playstore or something like that(I cant remember sorry, nm see below) anyway just click on it.
No results found for champ man 16
Double check that all words are spelled correctly
Go ahead and search on Google Play
Search Play for champ man 16
So now you will be presented with something you may be familiar with if your a droid user if not don't worry, now simply log in with your google account which i would assume(droid user or not) you will have one if not it will tell you create one.
If you did the above successfully then you will now see 3 options, just follow the 3 options which is easy to understand and wait around about 3 mins may be quicker depending on how good your device is ...
Now that you have clicked on search play for champ man 16 it may come up a loading bar just wait and once that is loaded you will see a list of games simply click on champ man 16 and then you will see a green button saying install click on that.
You may get an error while attempting to install CM16(Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-7:AEC-0]
) if you are unlucky and get this error you can not install it, meh, don't panic just see below for another way how to do it.
Now im not sure if is allowed with SE so im sorry if its not i am only assuming it is.
This next step involves you install a download CM16 apk file, this is an original apk file and to my knowledge has not been hacked, cracked or tampered with(i don't condone that) so its just like the proper download like if you were downloading it from the playstore.
To do this just see the zippyshare link below but please note that i downloaded the link from a source and i did not do whatever you do to get apk files and share em etc.
Don't panic i have tested it(well on Blue Stacks anyway) and it is working fine no viruses or that, and to mention this is the latest update(January transfer update)
Click on that link and to your right is an orange download button click on that and what till the apk downloads, once it has simply go to your Blue Stacks and click on the circle apk sign on the left navigation bar and find your apk file, you will now get a little message saying its installing, then(if using windows 10) a message will appear on the right hand side saying its installed after that the game will load , then boosh happy days you can now play CM16 on a windows device except mobile sadly.
PS: Downloading and installing the apk may not be allowed by SE and as such i would like to say sorry to SE aswell as DD if this against terms im just trying help other people play
Another note is that you will still get ads as per.

I was reading a book by Maha Boowa when i come accross this
The citta forms the very foundation of samsãra; it is the essence of being that wanders from birth to birth. It is the instigator of the cycle of existence and the prime mover in the round of repeated birth and death. Samsãra is said to be a cycle because death and rebirth recur regularly according to the immutable law of kamma. The citta is governed by kamma, so it is obliged to revolve perpetually in this cycle following kamma's dictates. As long as the citta remains under the jurisdiction of kamma, this will always be the case. The citta of the Arahant is the sole exception, for his citta has completely transcended kamma's domain. Since he has also transcended all conventional connections, not a single aspect of relative, conventional reality can possibly become involved with the Arahant's citta. At the level of Arahant, the citta has absolutely no involvement with anything.
Once the citta is totally pure, it simply knows according to its own inherent nature. It is here that the citta reaches it culmination; it attains perfection at the level of absolute purity. Here the continuous migration from one birth to the next finally comes to an end. Here the perpetual journey from the higher realms of existence to the lower ones and back again, through the repetitive cycle of birth, ageing, sickness, and death, totally ceases. Why does it cease here? Because those hidden, defiling elements that normally permeate the citta and cause it to spin around have been completely eliminated. All that remains is the pure citta, which will never again experience birth and death.
Rebirth is inevitable, however, for the citta that has yet to reach that level of purity. One may be tempted to deny that rebirth follows death, or one may doggedly hold to the nihilistic viewpoint that rejects all possibility of life after death, but such convictions cannot alter the truth. One's essential knowing nature is not governed by speculation; nor is it influenced by people's views and opinions. Its preeminence within one's own being, coupled with the supreme authority of kamma, completely override all speculative considerations.
As a consequence, all living beings are compelled to move from one life to the next, experiencing both gross incarnations, like the creatures of land, sea and air, and the more refined incarnations of ghosts, devas and brahmas. Although the later are so ethereal as to be invisible to the human eye, the citta has no difficulty taking birth in their realms. The appropriate kamma is all that is required. Kamma is the determining factor; it is the power that propels the citta on its ceaseless journey in samsãra.
The citta is something so extremely subtle that it is difficult to comprehend what actually constitutes the citta. It is only when the citta attains a state of meditative calm that its true nature becomes apparent. Even experienced meditators who are intent on understanding the citta are unable to know its true nature until they have attained the meditative calm of samãdhi.
Even though the citta resides within the body, we are nevertheless unable to detect it. That's how very subtle it is. Because it is dispersed throughout the physical body, we cannot tell which part or which aspect is actually the true citta. It is so subtle that only the practice of meditation can detect its presence and differentiate it from all the other aspects associated with the body. Through the practice of meditation we can separate them out, seeing that the body is one thing and the citta is another. This is one level of separation, the level of the citta that is experienced in samãdhi, but its duration is limited to the time spent practicing samãdhi.
At the next level, the citta can totally separate itself from the physical body, but it cannot yet disengage from the mental components of personality: vedanã, saññã, sankhãra, and viññãna. When the citta reaches this level, one can use wisdom to separate out the body and eventually become detached forever from the belief that one's body is oneself, but one is still unable to separate the mental factors of feeling, memory, thoughts, and consciousness from the citta. By using wisdom to investigate further, these mental factors can also be detached from the citta. We then see clearly for ourselves—sanditthiko—that all five khandhas are realities separate from the citta. This is the third level of separation.
At the final level, our attention turns to the original cause of all delusion, that extremely subtle pervasion of ignorance we call avijjã. We know avijjã's name, but we fail to realize that it is concealed there within the citta. In fact, it permeates the citta like an insidious poison. We cannot see it yet, but it's there. At this stage, we must rely on the superior strength of our mindfulness, wisdom, and perseverance to extract the poison. Eventually, by employing the full power of mindfulness and wisdom, even avijjã can be separated from the citta.
When everything permeating the citta has finally been removed, we have reached the ultimate stage. Separation at this level is a permanent and total disengagement that requires no further effort to maintain. This is true freedom for the citta. When the body suffers illness, we know clearly that only the physical elements are affected, so we are not concerned or upset by the symptoms. Ordinarily, bodily discomfort causes mental stress. But once the citta is truly free, one remains supremely happy even amid intense physical suffering. The body and the pain are known to be phenomena separate from the citta, so the citta does not participate in the distress. Having relinquished them unequivocally, body and feelings can never again intermix with the citta. This is the citta's absolute freedom.
He goes onto say
http://www.what-buddha-taught.net/Books ... m#APPENDIX" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Birth and death have always been conditions of the citta that is infected by kilesas. But, since kilesas themselves are the cause of our ignorance, we are unaware of this truth. Birth and death are problems arising from the kilesas. Our real problem, our one fundamental problem—which is also the citta's fundamental problem—is that we lack the power needed to be our own true self. Instead, we have always taken counterfeit things to be the essence of who we really are, so that the citta's behavior is never in harmony with its true nature. Rather, it expresses itself through the kilesas' cunning deceits, which cause it to feel anxious and frightened of virtually everything. It dreads living, and dreads dying. Whatever happens—slight pain, severe pain—it becomes afraid. It's perturbed by even the smallest disturbances. As a result, the citta is forever full of worries and fears. And although fear and worry are not intrinsic to the citta, they still manage to produce apprehension there
To me this strikes me as saying the citta is some kind of permanent entity or self? or could this just be my own ignorance in what he is saying?
