Now these I WOULD like!
Had that comic as a kid long before I could understand English... So I just looked at the pictures.... Always loved those 2 colorful creatures!
Count me in for them!!!

This is what its all about, folks.
Calling Deemos & Tyrella "goblins" seems rude, even if they're no oil paintings
Yes please!!!
Yes!!! Orc versions and masked monsters with mask accessories for the little guys!

Now that's a 2 pak™ that I'd love to see. I'd love to see more mini comic representation in MOTUC very soon! Although the absolute first thing I want to see is Lodar from that awesome cover of Slave City!
Yes, it would be cool to get those mini-comic figures in 2013 or 2014. Of course, there are better characters to release first...
There are a lot of random monsters they could make, but those two are the most iconic for me. I remember that comic and those monsters as if they had been burned in my brain - and I honestly can't say why. Maybe it was the classic idea of He-Man fighting monsters. Nothing world shattering; just a couple of monsters. This would make a great two pack, and perhaps they could throw in some crude weapon accessories like gnarled clubs, broken-off stalagmites, knicked and rusted old weapons, or maybe a twisted peice of metal that used to be a firing weapon.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Answer:2. Sabretooth: Will you consider releasing Skeletors devil-warriors as they appeared in The Power of Point Dread and Masks of Power minicomics, or the red werewolf-demon and the green lizard-demon as they appeared in Masks of Power minicomics? These characters can probably be done with minimum tooling.
Those would be cool villain army builders, but nothing can be confirmed right now.

Very cool characters! I'd love to get these guys. They can come with the masks, and the smaller goblin bodies.
What should be done about their nakedness? I guess they could make the "creepy crotch" seen on Gy-Gor.
Great thread!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I really like these too. This MiniComic was one of my favorites as a child (besides THE CLASH OF ARMS) and one reason for my love for Fisto as well. I really appreciate the drawings. Please Mattel, bring them into the line. Perhaps as a two-pack with "The Masks Of Power" and one or two of these little goblins.
"A female He-Man. Ooh oh. This is the worst day of my life."
I loved this mini-comic as a kid. That being said, I'm not dying to have these guys as figures, but I wouldn't complain if we were getting them.
Nah. Just take it or leave it to me.

They can be a 2 pack including 2 mini-demons with interchangeable heads.
would have as a kid but im voting no.
We need the masks, the little goblins and the big monsters. What an awesome 2 pak (4 pak?) that would be.
Deemos and Tyrella I could wait a long time for - there's plenty of cool Filmation characters to release before them.
Grayskull needs its Cardboard Spacesuit MOTUCized
Voice your support in the Cardboard Spacesuit/Robot thread:
For me the ideal lay-out (two pack or single-carded) would be:
- transformed goblin with lizard / wolf head and an alternative goblin head
- small goblin with clip-on mask
- some kind of crude weapon as suggested by Alexx

Our community needs these issues with BISD resolved
Every day throughout the community, the question put to me is always the same: Are they ever going to indict this group at BISD?
Many believe nothing is happening beyond the Calvin Walker indictment and are asking why there isn't a full-scale federal investigation of Beaumont Independent School District.
People want to know who can they write, call or go see. They are asking if we should form a contingent of concerned community members to go to Houston, Austin or even Washington, D.C.
What they're asking is why district officials continue to defend Walker. They wonder if the very people who are trying to make the story about race are somehow complicit and are backing him to show support in hopes he won't implicate any others involved.
They wonder why secretly settling lawsuits without board approval using taxpayer money are not being investigated. Some say the recent news about the settlements is the straw that broke the camel's back. They are mad as hell and believe it is a betrayal to all taxpayers and the trustees they elected.
They wonder why, when Dr. Thomas's assistant Jessie Haynes is a director for one of Walker's companies — even after she claimed to not know anything about it — she is apparently not being investigated. Nobody really believes she did not know — and if she didn't do anything wrong, why did she lie?
Whether it is a BISD transportation director being arrested for a DUI in a district truck and the BISD Police Department attempting to cover it up; the district's failed attempt to build an event center and hotel just blocks away from Ford Park, an already taxpayer subsidized, state of the art event center and only a few miles from hundreds of unoccupied hotel rooms — the district claims questioning anything they do is somehow racial.
Is it racial bias to report when a duly elected member of the board of trustees is not provided with construction contracts and documents he requests and are available to the rest of the board — especially when that board member, Tom Neild, is the only elected member with any construction background and experience?
The indictment of Calvin Walker was news no matter where you live — 37 counts and the allegation of fraud involving $3.7 million of taxpayer money will always get front-page coverage. Yes, this story was about color. Not the color of a person's skin but green — the color of moneyThis list goes on and on and the racial rhetoric that is being spewed by a few self-appointed leaders in the black community should not speak for the majority who simply believe right is right and wrong is wrong without regard to the color of anyone's skin.
This rhetoric must stop and the only way for it to be resolved is a full-scale investigation into the many dealings of BISD.
Our Justice Department, the FBI and Texas Education Agency — as with all government agencies — are restricted by cutbacks in personnel and resources, but the community is asking what is being done and what can we do to help move this forward.
Regardless whether the self appointed leaders in the black community truly believe their charges of racial injustice or if it is simply a way to change the conversation, these allegations must be investigated. The only way to get complete closure and begin to heal the wounds caused by this policy of deception and secrecy is to get to the truth, which can only be uncovered with a proper and thorough investigation, fully funded to follow the trail of evidence wherever it may lead.

The ratio is actually pretty simple, 3:1:2 - 3 parts flour : 1 part fat : 2 parts liquid. Ruhlman suggests that the lift is created by rolling and folding the dough (as you would with rough-puff pastry), but I added baking powder to help it along!
For the round-up of the Ratio Rally this month, head over to Gretchen's blog at Kumquat.
110g butter, chilled
330g all purpose gluten free flour mix (I used Dove's Farm Plain GF Flour)
1tsp salt
2tsp caster (superfine) sugar
2tsp baking powder (make sure it's gluten free)
220g milk
cornflour, for dusting
a little extra milk
- Weigh the flour into a bowl and add the salt, sugar, and baking powder and mix gently to combine. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips, until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the milk and combine well until a wet-ish dough forms. Tip out on to a floured surface and knead gently, be careful not to knead away those little lumps of butter.
- Dust your worktop with cornflour and roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thick, fold into thirds and roll out again. Repeat this rolling and folding 2 or 3 more times. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from the fridge and pat out to 1/2 inch thick and cut out rounds with a 3 inch cutter.
- Place on a baking sheet, brush the tops with a little milk, and bake for 10-13 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius.
- Eat while still warm.
And here's the rest of the gang!

I'm quite surprised about the absence of a thread about the mighty Zanthor!
Zanthor appeared in the episode "The Golden Disks Of Knowledge" and I know that he isn't an essential but he can be a Travelling Figure.
Check the pictures from the episode:

I was wondering whether there were any estimating models for projects which use the results of previous projects.
For example, imagine I want to develop an application for a phone based on a web app I completed last month. Say the web app took 1000 hours but that I don't know anything about mobile development. If you wanted to add another number into the equation you could say that 50% of the features implement in the web app will need to be implemented for the mobile app.
Where would I even start to form an estimate for the new project?
Thanks in advance.

Belgian outsiders shock pre-favourite Norwegians in Portoroz
The Belgians went into the competition as underdogs but made it to the final and upset favourites Norway, thereby finishing the event in first place.
Belgium and Norway progress to the third stage of the Continental Cup, which is scheduled for next year. Slovenia, Scotland and Northern Ireland completed the stnadings and will have to re-start their campaigns later this summer with the second round coming up in August/September.
Norway v Slovenia 2-0
Norway and Slovenia opened the programme of the men's competition on Sunday. Iver Andreas Horrem and Geir Eithun – two players who have been on the World Tour for many years – showed their class in the first set of their match with home heroes Jure Peter Bedrac and Danijel Pokersnik (21-16). However, the Slovenians fought their way back to delight the local fans and ultimately won the second set by 23-21. Still, Horrem and Eithun got back control of the game in the third set (15-10) and brought the first point to their country.
"We can be satisfied with what we did today," commented Danijel Pokersnik, "and also with the performance of Slovenia's national team in this tournament. With the only exception being the first set, we played at the same level as two accomplished players like Horrem and Eithun. I think it was a matter of experience and that determined the outcome of both matches today. Now we have to focus on the second round which is coming up in August or September and try to make the third stage of the Continental Cup."
Slovenia's top team Nejc Zemljak and Jernej Potocnik played their best match of the tournament as they tested Norway's Oivind Hordvik and Bjarte Usken. Though the home pair were able to keep the score very tight from the start to the end, they eventually lost the match by 19-21, 22-24 and Norway went on to the final of the tournament.
"I have seen players from Slovenia in action even before this competition and I know that they are technically very good," Oivind Hordvik commented. "I am happy that we won this match today. It is always difficult to play against the home team and today they got a lot of support from their fans," added the player who last week participated in the European Championship Final with his regular partner Morten Kvamsdal.
Belgium v Scotland 2-0
Belgium's Bob Douwen and Robin Adriaensen opened the second semifinal with Scotland with a speedy 21-10, 21-13 victory to rout Graham Riddle and Barry McGuigan. Slovenian-born Aljosa Urnaut and his partner Dennis Deroey then followed with a 21-17, 21-19 victory over Seain Cook and Robin Miedzybrodzki to claim the second spot for the final of the tournament in Portoroz.
Norway v Belgium 1-2
Urnaut and Deroey set the tone for an exciting final as they claimed the first set of their match-up with Horrem and Eithun (22-20). After being caught by surprise, the Scandinavians played better and better winning the second set by 21-18. They claimed an early two-three point lead and they did not relinquish it up to the end. Still Urnaut and Deroey were not too impressed by the show of strength displayed by their opponents, regrouped and sensationally won a close third set by 15-13.
Hordvik and Usken brought Norway back on track with a 21-15, 21-15 victory in their match with Douwen and Adriaensen.
A third match was then played to determine the winner of the tournament. Deroey and Urnaut were back in action, once more taking on Horrem and Eithun. Another tight first set unfolded and once more the Belgians had the upper hand at 22-20. That somehow shocked the Norwegians who could no longer change the course of the game. Urnaut blocked almost every attack attempted by the Scandinavians and Deroey played just great in defence to set the tone for a 21-15 set win that propelled Belgium into the top position of the final standing.
"In the first set we thought we were not going to bring it home and we were probably going to lose the match as well," Aljosa Urnaut said. "We had claimed a small lead of two or three points, but we made too many mistakes, our opponents clawed back and they even had a set ball. We had to concentrate on every single point and luckily in the end the first set went our side. After that I think that Horrem and Eithun were quite tired and so they could no longer keep up with our tempo," added Urnaut, who has Slovenian citizenship as well. "I came here straight after the end of the volleyball season, but if I only could play beach volleyball professionally and could get the right support from our Olympic committee, I wouldn't hesitate a moment and would immediately make the switch to the sand."

text: Lightbringer 95 Posted April 19, 2012 I have no idea how Only War will play; no idea what types of player objectives there'll be, or what style of play will be encouraged... but one can still guess that small unit missions will probably be the name of the game. With this in mind, does anyone feel like joining in and working on a D100 random mission generator? I'll get the ball rolling…1. Hearts and Minds. The players are ordered to engage in a "hearts and minds" meeting with the leader of a local community on a war world. The community is not expressly hostile to the Imperium, but is ignorant of its ways, and the players are expected to meet with its leader and secure his community's agreement to assist in the war effort. How will the players react to the weird and/or sinister/heretical local customs they observe?2. Special Duties. The players are seconded to a Commissariat special duties unit, and tasked with the observation and capture of a regimental officer suspected of treason. To complicate matters, the officer is a decorated hero, and the Commissar they are working under is a known paranoiac…3. Never meet your Heroes… The players are assigned to act as equerries to an Astartes officer. They rapidly discover that he is a cruel and vicious individual, with total disdain for their "human" martial abilities. Worse, he cares nothing for their personal safety and expects them to keep up with him in the execution of his duties. How often will the players allow themselves to be placed in harm's way for their superhuman master?4. Parlay. The players are selected to communicate terms to their foes during a brief parlay. Naturally, the Imperium's terms are unconditional surrender. However, the player's enemy offers honorable and beneficial alternative terms that would allow both parties to recover their wounded and dead. How do the player's react when faced with evidence that not all of the Imperium's foes are monsters?5. Decimation. After being separated from their regiment to conduct other duties, the players are ordered to act as a firing squad. To their horror, they discover that they are expected to participate in a literal decimation of their own Regiment, which is being punished for cowardice. They are expected to shoot every tenth man in the entire regiment, an act which will take all day and involve the death of hundreds at their hands. How do the players react?6. Bodyguards. The players are required to act as drivers and bodyguards to a senior Guard officer of the General Staff. After a dull night escorting him from social event to social event hundreds of miles safely behind Imperial lines, the players find him sobbing over the corpse of a local joygirl, clearly dead by his hand. How do they deal with this situation if he orders them to cover it up?7. The vanished. After working directly under the command of the Ordo Malleus as part of an indentured Inquisitorial detachment, and having successfully repelled a daemonic incursion, the players discover that the members of their regiment are disappearing one by one. What is going on? Have the daemons returned, or is the Inquisition covering up its tracks?8. The prisoner. The players are tasked with transporting a xenos prisoner through enemy lines to meet with an Ordo Xenos interrogations squad. The xenos is fiendishly cunning, and resorts to every kind of devious ruse to ensure its escape. 9. The runners. Comms are down. Someone has to get this message back to HQ, at the double! We need runners! And an escort for the runners, naturally. 10. Medic! The players must assist a medic in the execution of his duties. However, they discover that the medic is in fact in thrall to a warp cult, and is secretly killing all those in his charge. 11. Forgers. Another one of HQ's crazy schemes… Flood the enemy lines with counterfeit currency, crippling their economy. The players must infiltrate the enemy lines and give away the equivalent of billions of thrones to criminal elements. Will they resist the temptation to spend on their own behalf on the way? 12. IPD. During a particularly vicious campaign, the players encounter a captured Imperial Guard sanctioned psyker who has been abandoned by the retreating enemy. He has been tortured and left by the roadside attached to an explosive device that will go off if he is moved. His misery, focused through his psychic abilities, is causing waves of disorientation and sickness among the advancing troops. He has in effect been turned into an improvised psychic device. How do the players deal with the situation?13. Foragers. The players are ordered to forage for supplies by their commanding officer. The only place where they might be found is on a nearby farmstead: however, this means stealing the last grain supplies from starving local civilians. How do the players deal with this dilemma?14. Sniper duel. The players are ordered to reconnoiter a nearby human village. During the course of doing so, NPC members of their platoon are killed by sniper fire. The players must engage in a sniper duel with a skilled and ruthless opponent.15. Guard duty. The players, recovering from a vicious military campaign, are given some peaceful guard duty by their superiors. Sadly, they happen to be on duty when the enemy decides to send a special forces group to attack their position by night.16. Beachhead I. The players are the first off their Tetrarch Heavy Lander, and must push through miles of fortifications and barbed wire to capture the first of many command bunkers.17. Beachhead II. The players are minding their own business, manning their part of the trench line, when the enemy lands a massive invasion force within 200 yards of their position, using heavy landers. Can the players repel the invasion?18. The magnificent seven. The players are part of a scouting force sent to reconnoiter a nearby civilian settlement. During the course of their mission, the enemy attack. The players must inspire the civilians to rise up and defend their homes against the enemy force, using whatever weapons are to hand.19. Commando I. The enemy occupy a position guarded by a powerful void shield generator. The players must travel to the position in civilian garb, evade enemy patrols and sabotage the generator, timing their attack precisely with a major offensive. 20. Commando II. The enemy orbit the planet in a vast spacecraft. The Imperium cannot defeat this vessel through main force with the meager assets available locally. So they opt to send in a suicide mission, consisting of the players, to infiltrate the ship and destroy it from the inside.21. Mincemeat. The players are ordered to carry a dead body, which wears the uniform of a Guard colonel of intelligence, and which carries forged papers, to within a safe distance of the enemy lines and then leave it at the manufactured site of a speeder accident. 22. The Resistance. The players are part of a defeated army, on a world captured by the enemy. They must go into hiding, following Imperial Guard Standard Operating Procedure: cause as much damage to the enemy as possible, even if it means their own deaths. They must live a life of treachery and deceit, moving from safe house to safe house, never trusting anyone, while sabotaging the occupying army's materiel and personnel. 23. The Ace of Traitors. During the course of a successful ongoing planetary invasion that is being prosecuted by a Guard force that includes their regiment, the players become aware that one of the leading figures in the opposing regime has fled into hiding in a major metropolitan area. The players are tasked with capturing him alive and delivering him for interrogation. 24. WPD. The players are tasked with searching the blasted ruins of a civilisation for evidence that it once possessed weapons of planetary destruction, as this will prove crucial in rebutting claims that the Lord Militant who ordered an orbital bombardment of its cities was justified in his actions. The players must travel through the pitiful remnants of a once great empire, and face the enmity and hatred of its crushed and embittered people. 25. Ratling. The players are tasked with assassinating an important enemy officer. They are advised that Imperial Guard Intelligence has become aware that he will be present at a certain location at a certain time, though the players will not be able to approach within a mile of his position, and he will be in a staff car travelling at speed. They are told that only one person can make the shot: legendary Ratling sniper "Plum" McDuff. The players must escort McDuff – an irritating alcoholic loudmouth with kleptomaniacal tendencies – to the appointed place at the appointed time, protecting him from the enemy and resisting the urge to strangle him.

In spite of the many tourist traps that give Venice, and many other popular destinations, a bad rep, if you have a chance to spend some quiet days there you will appreciate how the absence of cars has crystallized this city into a different dimension, with a magical sense of time. The pedestrian way of life is not something Venetians are forced to, rather they embrace it – after all, they have access to water buses – but they prefer to leave them to the hordes of tourists. Walking to and from work does not only provide us with a built-in form of daily exercise; it makes it very likely to bump into friends unexpectedly (only 60,000 people live in Venice), which usually results into a stop at one of the city's bàcari (wine bars) to catch up over an ombra (a "shadow", or a small glass) of wine or a Spriss cocktail, and cicheti, the signature snacks. Cicheti is a Venetian term used to describe a wide range of bite-size local treats, from deep-fried seafood and rice croquettes to grilled radicchio and baby artichokes from the nearby island of St. Erasmo; from boiled eggs served with anchovies, to meatballs, to the legendary bacala' mantecato (stockfish mousse) and sarde in saor (fried sardines marinated in sweet-and-sour onions).
Among my favorite finger foods are these fish balls, which you can also keep cooking in a light tomato sauce after frying them, if you prefer to serve them as part of a meal, on top of polenta. Fish balls, like meat balls, are a staple of Jewish Italian sustainable cooking, and were traditionally made with leftover boiled or roasted fish. However, these are so good that when I don't have any leftovers I cook some fish in order to make a batch.
- 2 pounds leftover cooked fish (white)
- 2 medium/large eggs
- about 4 slices white bread, crust removed
- the fish cooking water (where the fish was cooked with celery, carrot, onion), or vegetable stock
- 1-2 tbsps freshly minced parsley
- 2 anchovies, salt-or oil-packed, drained and minced (optional)
- a large pinch of nutmeg and one of cinnamon (optional; or thyme)
- salt, pepper
- flour to dredge
- olive oil for frying
Soak the bread in the broth or fosh stock until soft. Drain and squeeze. Mash the fish with the bread, anchovies, season with salt and pepper, add the parsley and spices. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Add the eggs, combine well and allow to rest in the fridge for a few minutes. If it's still too soft you can add a tbsp of bread crumbs.
With wet hands, form little balls (about 1 to 1 /2" in diameter. Dredge them in flour and deep fry in olive oil, in a deep fryer or in a heavy pot with tall sides. To deep fry, heat at least 2" of the olive oil to frying temperature (you can test it by dropping a small piece of bread in the oil: if lots of little bubbles form around the bread, the temperature is right). Fry in small batches until golden all over, turning to cook evenly.
Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer onto a platter lined with several layers of paper towels.
Serve warm.

With rumors of government complicity in Benazir Bhutto's assassination rife throughout Pakistan, the country's stability may depend on the absolute transparency of the investigation into the murder. But a constantly evolving and sometimes contradictory explanation of the events by Pakistani investigators has only clouded the issue. Meanwhile, her husband and her supporters are asking for a United Nations-led inquiry into her death, something Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is unlikely to accede to. But even if Musharraf were to agree, there is very little for international forensics experts to investigate.
Within hours of the attack in the garrison town of Rawalpindi some 10 miles from the capital, authorities had already hosed down the streets. Pools of blood, along with possible evidence such as bullet casings, DNA samples from the bomber and tracks had been washed away. Retired Lieutenant General Hamid Gul, the former director general of Pakistani Intelligence, said he was shocked to see people cleaning up the debris so soon after the assassination. "It's a crime scene, and they're washing away all the evidence! We need to be asking why the hell was this thing done." One of the few pieces of evidence from the crime scene that remains is amateur footage showing a clean-cut man in a black vest brandishing what appears to be a gun. Behind him stands another man, a white scarf wrapped around his head. It is thought that he might have been the suicide bomber.
The situation had already been muddied by contradictory versions of how Bhutto died. Initial health official reports stated that Bhutto had been shot twice before a suicide bomber detonated himself seconds later. But by Saturday, the government reversed track. Bhutto had been shot at, said Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema, but the shooter missed. The force of the explosion knocked Bhutto, who had been waving at the crowds from her vehicle's sunroof, backwards. She hit her head on a protruding lever, and succumbed to the fractures to her skull. Cheema presented X rays to support his claim, but witnesses and close friends who rushed Bhutto to the hospital say that there was no doubt she had been shot.
Doctors who had attended Bhutto immediately after the attack initially said that she died of gunshot wounds, but over the weekend they released new findings in line with the Interior Ministry's claim that the official cause of death was head wounds sustained when Bhutto fell. The reversal has many people suspecting government interference. Says Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, an opposition member of the National Assembly and a former petroleum minister: "The government says it was the work of terrorists and they say someone has claimed responsibility. What I don't understand is why they keep changing the story of how Bhutto died? Why do that? These summersaults make everything look suspicious."
Khan says he is naturally skeptical of talk that the government could be behind the assassination but says that their inept handling of the investigation only adds to the rumors. The idea that Bhutto died when her head hit a lever as she was pushed down into her open top car is "ridiculous." He also says that the government is not serious in investigating incidents like last week's. "How come, at least in the last three years, there have been scores and scores if not hundreds of bomb blasts and suicide attacks in Pakistan and the only incidents that resulted in people being arrested and sentenced is in the two attacks on Pervez Musharraf?"
An autopsy would have been the obvious solution to the ongoing debate, but Bhutto's husband Asif Ali Zadari declined one at the time of her death, explaining at a news conference on Sunday that, "It was an insult to my wife, an insult to the mother of the nation. I know their forensic reports are useless. I refuse to give them her last remains." The government has since offered to exhume the body, which was buried Friday, in order to perform a post-mortem but it may be a case of too little, too late. Doing so now only risks inflaming tensions. Islamic traditions hold that the body is sacred, and must not be disturbed in death. As expected, Bhutto's family declined the offer.
As for who plotted the assassination, that too is clouded by what many see as either government incompetence or a knee-jerk choice of "usual suspects." On Friday, the Interior Ministery claimed that investigators had intercepted a telephone call that proved that Baitullah Mehsud, a leader of the Pakistani Taliban thought to be affiliated with al-Qaeda, had instigated the attack. Ministry spokesman Cheema released a transcript of a purported conversation between Mehsud and a follower, offering congratulations for a job well done.
But Bhutto supporters are skeptical of the reports' veracity. "We do not know if it is a genuine transcript or one created by the intelligence agencies," says PPP party spokesman Farhatullah Babar. Mehsud has become a convenient scapegoat in recent terrorist attacks, sometimes standing in when investigators turn up empty-handed. Speaking through his spokesman to the BBC, Mehsud denied any involvement in the attack, as he did when he was accused in the October 18 suicide bombing at a Bhutto rally in Karachi that killed some 140. Such denials, of course, are meaningless, but they do exacerbate rumors of government complicity, a situation that benefits an anti-government insurgency. "There is a very strong possibility that the intelligence agencies were behind the attack," Mehsud's spokesman told the BBC.
The government pirouettes may have less to do with a possible cover-up of an Administration-led assassination than a poorly executed attempt at damage control. If Bhutto was killed in a deliberate attack by a sniper, the government would have much more to answer for than if she was the victim of an arguably less-focused terrorist bombing. Bhutto has been dogged by terrorist threats since she returned to Pakistan on October 18; attending a rally and waving to crowds from the sunroof of her car was clearly a risky undertaking. And the government can argue that providing security under such conditions is impossible. "Look at our country," says Abdul Sattar, a former foreign minister under Musharraf. "Ask whether anyone could get security. I do not know while moving on a street with the supporters lining up along the side, front and rear, whether our security authorities have the capabilities to have a wall of security around the car."
Bhutto's supporters have demanded an international, independent investigation into the events leading to her death. California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said that Washington needed to answer some "troubling questions" about Pakistan's investigation so far. At yesterday's press conference, Bhutto's husband Zadari demanded a United Nations investigation, saying "We want a [assassinated Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik] Hariri commission-style investigation... we are writing to the United Nations for an international probe into her martyrdom." According to Dawn, a local newspaper Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said that he would "consider" outside help during a phone call with British PM Gordon Brown yesterday, which many are interpreting as a "thanks, but no thanks" dismissal.
And then there is the cynical view. In some ways, the lack of a definitive answer suits all sides. The government can maintain its story that an al-Qaeda suicide bomb plot killed Bhutto, thus exonerating itself from negligence at best and complicity at worst. Meanwhile the PPP can leverage the insinuation of government culpability to keep Bhutto's death relevant as Pakistan prepares for the elections she died campaigning for.

The setup is we have a VPS running Debian Squeeze, and I've set up a shared directory for us to share files. So far I've followed this guide:
I've also set the umask to 002 correctly (see the comments on that guide), so we can both now create files and directories directly on the server and we both have read/write permissions on them.
The only problem is that a lot of our files are created on our local machines (both running Ubuntu 10.10), and then dumped on the server. This results in only the creator of the file/directory having write permissions on, and the other member of the group I set up for sharing this folder only having read access.
My next thought would be to change the default umask on our local machines, but it seems a bit extreme to have to do that, and I don't know if it's a security risk.
Can someone tell me if there's a better solution to what I'm trying to achieve, or if this really is the way to go?
Many thanks in advance

(written from a Production point of view)
Western Publishing (and subsidiary imprints Whitman Publishing, Golden Press and Gold Key Comics) is an American publisher given licensing rights to publish original Star Trek material, beginning around 1967.
As Whitman, they released a "young-reader" style novel, Mission to Horatius, the first original Trek publication. In the Gold Key line of magazines, they published a series of comics based on Star Trek sporadically between 1967 until 1979. These issues are popular with later collectors, although the whimsical stories lacked any relation to what would later be called the "canon" of the Star Trek universe. These comics also sometimes bear the Whitman logo in later editions.
Golden Press has reprinted the material, however, their collections have since been reprinted again by both Checker Books and IDW Publishing. They also produced an early Star Trek Edition Trivia Game under the Golden Press header, and several jigsaw puzzles with cartoon-style Star Trek scenes (but not in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series).

Frank Isola of the Daily News reports that the Knicks have begun preliminary talks with Minnesota for point guard Jonny Flynn. Toney Douglas and cash are what I'm hearing that the Knicks will include in the deal. As much potential as Flynn has, being the 6th overall pick of the 2009 draft, I don't like this trade for New York. Flynn has been anything but dependable during his time with Minnesota. He's been inconsistent and injured as he is currently coming off of hip surgery. Douglas is coming off of major shoulder surgery which may be a reason New York is trying to deal him but I believe he's much better than Flynn at this point of his career. Douglas is a notoriously good defensive player and hard worker as well as a knock down 3 point shooter. He had points of this season where he was unstoppable Flynn hasn't had much of an impact at all. While he's a prototypical backup point in terms of size and skill, he's yet to put it all together. Interestingly Flynn's agent is Leon Rose, the same agent who represents Hornets point guard Chris Paul. It's been speculated that this trade might be a favor for Rose to get Flynn out of Minnesota and that would increase the Knicks chances of landing Paul. Either way, the NBA wasteland is filled with guys who never fit their potential and Flynn has a chance to be one of those guys. There's no doubt he's got skill and could immensely help the Knicks if his potential pans out but that's a big risk that I am not sure the Knicks should take right now.

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $\zeta$ a primitive $p$-th root of unity over a field of characteristic $0$.
Let $G = \sum\limits_{j=0}^{p-1} \zeta^{j\left(j-1\right)/2}$ be the standard Gauss sum for $p$. (An alternative definition for $G$ is $G = \sum\limits_{j=1}^{p-1}\left(\frac{j}{p}\right)\zeta^j$, where the bracketed fraction denotes the Legendre symbol.) Denote by $k$ the element of $\left\lbrace 0,1,...,p-1\right\rbrace$ satisfying $16k\equiv -1\mod p$.
Then, $\prod\limits_{i=1}^{\left(p-1\right) /2}\left(1-\zeta^i\right) = \zeta^k G$.
Question: Can we prove this identity purely algebraically, with no recourse to geometry and analysis?
If we can, then we obtain an easy algebraic proof for the value - including the sign - of the Gauss sum $G$, since both the modulus and the argument of $\prod\limits_{i=1}^{\left(p-1\right) /2}\left(1-\zeta^i\right)$ are easy to find (mainly the argument - it's a matter of elementary geometry).
Note that my "algebraically" allows combinatorics, but I am somewhat skeptical in how far combinatorics alone can solve this. Of course, we can formulate the question so that it asks for the number of subsets of $\left\lbrace 1,2,...,\frac{p-1}{2}\right\rbrace$ whose sum has a particular residue $\mod p$, but whether this will bring us far... On the other hand, $q$-binomial identities might be of help, since $\prod\limits_{i=1}^{\left(p-1\right) /2}\left(1-\zeta^i\right)$ is a $\zeta$-factorial.
I am pretty sure things like this must have been done some 100 years ago.

Eating a variety of foods can help you get all the nutrients you need. Your body needs protein, carbohydrate, and fats for energy. Good sources of nutrients are:
Eating healthy foods when you are breast-feeding is good for your overall health and for the health of your baby. You may already have a healthy diet, or you may need to make some changes to eat healthier.
It's also important to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. These not only give you necessary nutrients but also help you get fiber. Planning your meals can help you add healthy foods to your diet.
It's also important to make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet, such as:
Some health professionals recommend a prenatal vitamin supplement to breast-feeding women, especially for those who:
Talk to a nutritional counselor or registered dietitian or
to your doctor about a safe and healthy diet. For more information,
see the topic Healthy Eating.
Most foods you eat probably won't affect your milk or cause colicky
symptoms in your baby. But some infants develop a sensitivity to the protein in
cow's milk. If this occurs, you may need to stop eating milk and dairy
If you drink a lot of caffeine, it can pass to your baby

Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO of General Electric and Chairman of the White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness was interviewed by Charlie Rose on Bloomberg Television Monday evening. When asked about China, Immelt praised the Chinese and their centrally planned economy:
CHARLIE ROSE: China is changing. It may be being stabilized as we speak. What does that mean for China and what does it mean for the United States? Should it change expectations?
JEFF IMMELT: It is good for China. To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports. The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit– may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.

|Panasonic Introduces the Next-Generation of 3-Chip DLP Projectors - Over 1 Billion Colors
|Friday, 20 June 2008
Panasonic Projector Systems Company unveiled its new 12,000 lumen three-chip DLP projectors that set the standard for displaying High Definition content in large venues. The high resolution PT-DZ12000U WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) and PT-D12000U SXGA (1400 x 1050 pixels) models are designed for large venue and rental and staging solutions such as, commercial digital cinema, higher education, corporate and digital advertising customers.
Both the PT-DZ12000U and PT-D12000U include new, built-in edge blending
and a geometric adjustment feature that enables both projectors to
deliver dynamic warping capability and presentation solutions. Edge
blending, used primarily for the rental and staging market, makes it
possible to overlap multiple images to create a single larger image,
thus enabling users to project images on oversized screens for large
audiences. The Panasonic Projectors' easy to operate geometric
adjustment feature makes warping images to be projected on curved
surfaces possible, making these new projectors ideal solutions for
museums with amphitheaters and other similar-type settings.
Superior Brightness
The PT-DZ12000U and PT-D12000U both go beyond full-HD expectations by setting a benchmark of 12,000 lumens of brightness. The three-chip DLP technology provides resistance to image deterioration over time to ensure reliable, high-quality operation. They are also equipped with a 3D Color Management feature that helps optimize color saturation, hue and brightness levels for approximately 1,070,000,000 colors.
Panasonic picture quality for the PT-DZ12000U and PT-D12000U are also supported by a new Detail Clarity Processor. The projector's new Detail Clarity Processor analyzes frequency characteristics of each frame and applies necessary sharpness at varying degrees to create natural, life-like images with exceptional clarity.
The System Daylight View function uses an image processing circuit to compensate for the loss of color saturation that occurs when light reflects onto the screen from bright surroundings. This feature is especially effective for producing crisp, sharp images in dark portions containing gradation.
"Displaying HD content in large venues requires impeccable image quality, reliability and ease of installation and use," said Thomas Zitelli, president of Panasonic Projector Systems Company. "The PT-DZ12000U and PT-D12000U offer customer's flexible, state-of-the-art projection solutions with professional quality viewing for hours of extended use."
Ultimate Efficiency and Flexibility
Each model comes equipped with the Auto Cleaning Robot, an automatic filter cleaning system that enables about 2,000 hours of use without filter maintenance. The liquid-cooling system, directly cools the DLP chips and allows both models to be used in temperatures up to 45°C (113°F), enabling their use in a wider variety of environments. The micro-cut filter traps dust particles 10 microns or larger, safeguarding the optical blocks and capturing about seven times as much dust as previous models' filters. With Panasonic's original four-lamp system, both 12,000 lumen projectors feature a lamp replacement cycle. If one lamp burns out during operation, the lamp relay mode allows the remaining lamps to provide plenty of light to continue projecting1.
The wide adjustment range for the horizontal and vertical lens shift provides flexibility for easy installations because it assures virtually distortion-free images, while the optional lenses offer different throw distances. It's through these powered zoom/focus lenses that enable the projector to perform in a variety of environments.
Both models, which support PJLink™ protocol can be connected to a wired LAN connection, allowing remote control, monitoring, and e-mail alert messaging functions through Web browser. Temperature alarm and burnt-lamp LEDs are also included on each projector, letting operators know exactly where to address maintenance issues.
The Panasonic PT-DZ10000U and PT-D12000U projectors are both made in Japan, Buy American (BAA/TAA) compliant and will be available at authorized presentation systems dealers from August. The manufacturer's MSRP of the PT-DZ12000U is $69,000 and the MSRP of the PT-D12000U is $59,000.

Corporate tax returns slump 21pc in Britain despite big jump in profitability
BIG companies in Britain now pay less tax than they did 12 years ago despite a big jump in profitability, a new report shows.
Tax campaigners say the trend is the clearest signal yet that tax avoidance has blossomed under a more business-friendly strategy at the UK tax authority Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Large companies' payments of corporation tax totalled £21bn (€26bn) in 2011/12, HMRC data shows. That was down £5bn or 21pc since 2000/01 when the government, then controlled by the Labour Party, took the first steps towards a more collaborative approach to big business.
At the same time, the gross operating surplus for all companies in the UK - a widely watched measure of companies' profitability compiled by the Office of National Statistics - has risen 65pc, to £329bn. The economy has grown by 55pc over the same period, and receipts of both personal income tax and small companies' income tax are higher.
HMRC and the finance ministry denied the figures showed an increase in tax avoidance - legal tactics used by multinationals such as Google, Amazon and Starbucks. They cited recent economic weakness and lower corporation tax rates. The UK's official corporation tax rate was steady at 30pc between 2000 and 2007 but has been gradually cut. In the last tax year it was 26pc.
Calculations by news agency Reuters show the lower tax rate and the weak economy account for about half the fall, leaving around £2.6bn of the difference in the amount of corporate tax paid between 2000/01 and 2011/12 unaccounted for.
John Christensen of Tax Justice Network, a tax campaigning group, said the figures show successive governments' attempts to create a more business-friendly administration - which includes a policy known as "enhanced relationship" based on mutual trust - have encouraged companies to use such tactics.
"These figures tell a more powerful story than any figures I have seen so far," he said, adding that senior HMRC staff had told him in recent years that they were "alarmed" at the drop in payments from large companies. HMRC defines these as firms with annual profit of more than £1.5bn.
The finance ministry declined to comment on the calculations.
Prem Sikka, a professor of accounting at Essex University who has written extensively about tax avoidance, said that even allowing for the tax cut, the figures were "paradoxical".
"How are they managing to reconcile higher profits with lower taxes?" he said. "It can't be done ... unless they are booking these profits somewhere else." Companies reporting for tax purposes are increasingly diverting UK profits to lower-tax jurisdictions, he said.
Google, for example, channels $4 billion of UK sales through Ireland each year, most of which ends up in Bermuda. Google said it complies with tax law in every country in which it operates but that it also has an obligation to its shareholders "to run our business efficiently".
When shown the calculations, an HMRC spokesman said the downward trend may also have been emphasised by a shift in the way taxes were paid from 1999 which led to "elements of double counting" in 2000/01 and 2001/02. That could make revenues in those years look artificially high. He declined to quantify the impact of this.
Sikka dismissed the impact of this change.
"That wouldn't make any difference to the total tax liability," he said.
HMRC's own data does not point to a spike in corporation tax payments over the period the changes were initiated.
Total corporation tax payments were just £2bn higher in 2001-2002 than in 1998-1999, a rise of 7pc, while GDP rose 16pc over the period.
The government's tax minister, David Gauke, who has described corporation tax as one of "the most economically damaging taxes", called the tax authority's current approach "very successful" in a September speech. He declined requests for an interview.

There's a lot of anger in car design these days.
Back in my formative years, vehicles just looked like vehicles. Maybe a face could be perceived somewhere between the tungsten halogen headlamps and steel grilles, but generally car "faces" were nothing more than utilitarian methods of shining light and sucking air. I liked that.
Today's cars are different, mostly because advancements in headlamp technology have allowed designers to get more creative and not only give their cars a face, but create an entire personality.
Typically the personality chosen is an angry one, intended to give the car a sinister look of intimidation.
It's hard to find a new vehicle right now that doesn't have LED strips in the headlights. If you don't want that, you'd better include used cars on your shopping list. I happen to think LED lights are a passing fad, but time will tell. Whether fad or permanent fixture, LEDs are helping to create that sinister look so many automakers are shoving down our throats.
Maybe the intent is to try and give owners an extra sense of importance, or perhaps just to subconsciously make other drivers switch lanes when an angry car approaches from behind on a dark highway.
Check out the following pictures, and leave your input on what you prefer in your cars.
And actually, there's a third look that isn't happy or angry. It's an arrogant but confident look that just says, "Yes, I'm sexy. I know. You may stare as long as you wish."
Do you want your car to look angry, happy or to convey no personality at all?

DALLAS – The Obama administration may soon weigh in on what nearly 50,000 citizens have signed their names in support of –– Texas secession.
The White House website has a section set aside for anyone with a U.S. zip code to submit a petition regarding "issues that matter to them." For Arlington resident Micah H., that issue would be withdrawing –– peacefully –– from the union.
Never mind that Texas lost that right on March 1, 1845 when it was annexed by the United States under the Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas.
For 49,026 citizens at the time of this writing, it is, in Micah's words, "practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union."
"And to do so would protect it's (sic) citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government," the petition states.
So why does this matter? Well, should a petition posted to the White House We The People section get 25,000 names attached, the White House staff will take a look at it, shoot it to the "appropriate policy experts" and craft an "official response."
Maybe. The site's terms of service give the president some wiggle room:
To avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.
However, Micah's petition is part of a trend. Texas is just one of 21 states –– from Kentucky to New York –– that have been posted to the site requesting the right to 'peacefully withdraw' from the union. These have cropped up since President Barack Obama won reelection.
The Lone Star State's petition was posted on Friday and passed the 25,000 threshold shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday. It passed 30,000 names about 90 minutes later.
Part of the reason Texas is getting so much attention on this and, North Dakota –– which also has a secession petition –– isn't, is because Texas is currently the only state petition to reach that 25,000 mile-marker. Louisiana is about 6,000 short with 19,608 names while Alabama and Florida are neck-and-neck for third place with 8,562 and 8,509 signatures, respectively.
Secession speak, though, has been part of our state's lore for the past few years. Gov. Rick Perry, in 2009, was speaking to what CNN described as an "energetic and angry tea party crowd" and flirted with the idea of breaking away from the U.S. at some point.
"There's a lot of different scenarios," CNN reported Perry as saying. "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."
There's a Texas Nationalist Movement and a Republic of Texas group, both of which promote secession. Actor Chuck Norris, the purveyor of what is perhaps the state's finest roundhouse kick, has expressed his support of the movement.
During Perry's stumble-filled run for president, The Texas Tribune's Jay Root reported that critics combing for criticism fuel found a seldom-seen video wherein the governor said Texans are "thinking about that (secession) again."
Why, just last week, Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy found a Facebook post written by Hardin County Republican treasurer Peter Morrison that advocated "separating" from the union. The post has since been removed.
Says Kennedy of the vanished writing, "Let each go her own way," he (Morrison) writes, demanding an "amicable divorce" from the U.S. and from the "maggots" who re-elected President Obama."
Well, if President Obama ever wanted to speak on the issue, there may perhaps be no better time –– almost 50,000 are waiting.

Work stations in your plant's administrative area have point-of-use UPS boxes, most of which are rated 500VA. These units provide ride-through during brownouts. They also allow people to save their work and conduct an orderly shutdown in case of a blackout.
During recent sag and blackout events, these boxes didn't stop workstations from shutting down. Everyone agreed that the obvious problem was that the batteries had outlived their usefulness and needed to be replaced. But even with new batteries, the problem persists. What's going on?
While it may seem the UPS boxes aren't doing their job, probably the opposite is true. Upon power loss, large loads can kick spikes into the premises distribution system. During sags, large loads can draw enough current to saturate transformers.
The UPS boxes see transients and open the circuit to protect the loads. So, they've saved you a few workstations, monitors, and other office equipment. You don't have a UPS problem; you have a power quality problem.
To solve it, start with these steps:
- Test your power correction capacitors.
- Put a power analyzer on the panel that supplies an area that's been reporting trouble. Put power analyzers on all large loads on site. If analysis shows transients, design a multi-stage transient reduction system.
- Conduct a thorough, methodical inspection of the transformers, panels, and large inductive loads for conformance to Art. 250, Part V.

15 Foods That Remove Belly Fat Fast
Take a look at these 15 foods that can actually help to reduce that stubborn belly fat:
1) Avocados: loaded with two nutrients that are KEY to killing belly fat: hunger-crushing fibre (11 – 17g per avocado)
and monounsaturated fats, which studies have shown to actually "spot reduce" belly fat.
2) Peanut Butter: not just peanut butter, but mostly any seeds and nuts: postachios, walnuts, almonds,pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. Why? They keep you full and satisfied for long periods of time and they are full of healthy fats and minerals
3) Healthy Oils: extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil actually help burn fat by supplying healthy oils your body needs to burn stubborn body fat.
4) These veggies: cetain vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and cabbage contain special
phytonutrients (fight-o-nutrients), such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which help to fight against environmental estrogens that can add belly fat.
5) Omelets: Eggs arent bad!!!, they are nutrient dense and loaded with belly-burning protein, vitamins B6, B12, A, D, E and K, folate, choline, lutein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and omega3 fatty acids. Plus, they will keep you full for long periods of time. Choose eggs from free-range chickens for more healthy nutrients.
6) Dark Chocolate: It is loaded with anti-oxidants (nearly 8 times that found in strawberries) and contains stimulants that can have a positive effect on fat burning. Make sure to choose 80% or higher cocoa content for best results
7) Oatmeal/Porridge: packed with fibre and whole-grain goodness, you can't go wrong, Just stay away the processed, high-sugar junk out there and stick to slow cook oats. Add berries, walnuts cinnamon to taste.
8) Green Tea: Contains potent antioxidants and has been linked to increased fat burning, including a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that found green tea extract boosted the daytime metabolism of test
subjects by 35-43%
9) Beans: Black Beans, navy beans and lima beans all have 6 or more grams of fibre per 1/2 cup. Fibre can clean your system of pounds of "toxic" waste.
10) Berries: strawberries, rasberries and blackberries are loaded wth fibre (which slows sugar absorption) and are packed with vitamins that can fight cravings. (cravings can come from vitamin deficiencies)
11) Cinnamon: Researchers have found that cinnamon contains a type of antioxidant that increases insulin sensitivity and effectively helps to stabilize blood sugar. Basically…you'll store less belly fat.
12) Chili Peppers: Studies have shown that the active ingredient in chili peppers and powder, something called capsaicin, increases calorie-burning, stabilizes blood sugar levels and is a potent antioxidant.
13) Yogurt: Most regular yougurt is bad for your belly. Its loaded with belly-bulging sugar (real or artificial). However, Greek yogurts (plain) are loaded with probiotics that fight that belly bulge.
14) Wild Salmon: One of the best belly-blasting foods because of its protein and high omega-3 fatty acid content. Many people are deficient in omega-3s and when they add them to their diet the fat can really start coming off
15) Meat: Turkey meat ( white preferrably) or any lean protein source is a good belly blasting food. This includes the wild, salmon, free-range chicken, whey protein powders, and especially grass-fed beef because it contains natural CLA – a fat that studies have actually shown to burn fat. The interesting thing about protein is your body will burn off as much as 30% of its calories after you eat it.
Take a minute to digest all that info. Then start digesting!! literally. Adding these foods as part of your regular diet will see you well on your way to destroying that belly fat.

WASHINGTON — Their lives on hold for years, young adults are now making big moves in the fledgling economic recovery, leaving college towns or parents' homes and heading out of state at the highest rate since the height of the housing boom.
New census data released Thursday offer a detailed look at US migration as mobility begins to revive after sliding to a record low last year.
The latest numbers show that young adults 25-29 are the primary out-of-state movers; they had the biggest gain in 13 years as they struck out on their own to test the job market in urban, high-tech meccas such as Washington, D.C.; Denver; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; and Austin, Texas.
In contrast, groups that showed some of the most movement in the housing boom of the last decade (2000-2010) — working professionals, families, and would-be retirees — are still mostly locked in place, their out-of-state migration levels stuck at near lows due to underwater mortgages and shrunken retirement portfolios.
The demographic shifts, which analysts say could continue for many more years, are once again rejiggering the housing map.
Out are the super-sized McMansions in far-flung suburbs and in the sprawling Southwest, which helped drive rapid metro area growth in the early to middle part of the last decade in places such as Phoenix; Las Vegas; Orlando; and Atlanta. In are new, 300-square-foot ''micro'' apartments under consideration for wider development in dense cities such as New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle, which are seeking to attract young, single adults who value affordable spaces in prime locations.
''Footloose young singles are forming the leading edge of the coming migration wave,'' said William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer who reviewed the numbers. He attributed the recent jump in mobility to pent-up demand among young adults who now are ready to ''move on a dime'' to land a job opportunity.
''We will see their migration rates swell even higher if the jobs become more plentiful,'' Frey said. ''Families, older professionals, and retirees will be latecomers; they have more financial baggage and will need to make more careful decisions about when and where to move.''
Richard Florida, an American urban theorist and professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, called the mobility gain an important sign the US economy is getting back on track.
''Young people are moving out of their parents' basements and sampling places and sampling careers again,'' he said. ''After living at home for a while, young people have kind of maxed it out. They are heading to bigger, vibrant cities, predominantly, because they're looking for economic opportunity and building their social networks.''
About 1.7 percent of the US population moved across state lines to a new home in the 12-month period ending March 2012, up slightly from 1.6 percent in the previous year.
The share of young adults ages 25-29 who moved to a new state was higher, about 3.8 percent. That's up from 3.4 percent in the previous year and the highest level since the height of the housing boom in 2005, when mobility was 5 percent. The 0.4 percentage point increase in 2012 is also the biggest jump for young adults since 1999, when the rapid rise of Internet startups and the need for young workers during the dot-com bubble drove migration.
Among Americans 55 and older, out-of-state moves dipped from the previous year to a low of 0.7 percent. At the height of the housing boom, interstate migration for this group reached well over 1 percent, due mostly to baby boomers opting to retire early to residential hot spots in the South and West.
According to the latest data, some of the biggest winners in recent years have been states such as California, Massachusetts, and New York. The states were able to reduce much of the annual losses they suffered in domestic migration during the housing boom, when residents left in mass numbers for wider, more affordable spaces in the Sun Belt and Mountain West. The bigger states also continue to gain relatively more people from higher immigration and births.
Broken down by age and metro area, the Washington, D.C., area ranked at the top of destinations for young adults in the 2009-2011 period, rocketing up from 45th in 2006-2008. The area has been boosted by its promise of more plentiful government-related jobs, as well as a continuing influx of students.
Texas metro areas including Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio, which already were on the rise before the recession hit in late 2007, have remained a strong draw for young adults due in large part to their thriving energy and high-tech industries.

August 15
Welcome back to a new season with the Santa Clara women's soccer team. Reporting back to campus after two months of summer, the returning players were both reunited with one another and joined by 11 new teammates. After two days of meetings and getting to know each other, we are looking forward to the exciting journey that lies ahead.
After two double-days and a few fitness tests, most members of the team began to enjoy the freeeeeezing cold waters of the whirlpool, the electrical shocks from the stem machines, and the wincingly yet pleasurable tissue messages. And, although nothing matches up to Chardi's face plant during the "COOPER" her freshman year (a fitness test of eight laps around Stanton field in 12 minutes), Marian's not-so-graceful exit off the bus, ending with both legs in the air, also brought some laughter.
Continuing our journey, we loaded up the bus with what seemed to be three weeks of luggage for each team member for a one-week road trip... what did you expect from 27 college girls headed toward the beaches of San Diego? On our way to the Arco Olympic Training Center, we crashed for the night in Santa Barbara, where we spent the next day shopping and laying out by the beach. The highlight of the day was when a few players, including Chardi, Kristi and myself, were surprised by coach Jerry Smith running by in his Speedo, only to find out it was his disturbingly similar look alike... thank goodness for that! After departing Santa Barbara we continued toward San Diego, where we will spend the next week training.
August 16
Today we enjoyed the unforgiving sun of Southern California during our third double day. With no distractions, flawless fields and top-class food, a new spark was ignited among the team. Oh yeah, and I can't forget Micaela's delicious smoothies, which she blended up for the entire team in the cafeteria. Really, I think she was just way too entertained by the buzzing noise of the blender.
Time for me to rest up for another full day of soccer.

How to Fight Fracking and Win
Video from Earthjustice on YouTube.
When Jen Slotterback found a well pad stake in a local park, she realized the forest would soon be taken over by a natural gas drilling—and the controversial process hydraulic fracturing, or fracking—unless she did something to stop it. Jen and her husband Jim had never organized a campaign before, and they only had 11 days before the vote on whether to allow fracking in the park. In that short amount of time and with the help of the Responsible Drilling Alliance (RDA), the Slotterbacks mobilized their community to save Rider Park. The board unanimously voted against the drilling.
Now the Slotterbacks and RDA are campaigning to save more than 700,000 acres of forest throughout Pennsylvania from fracking.

Group Helps Military Families Make Memories
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 21, 2006 - If a deployed servicemember misses a milestone in a family member's life, it's gone forever, unless someone at home keeps a good record.
"The military family, unlike any others, has multiple stresses related to daily life," said Linda Davis, founder of Connect And Join. "Our communications portal is designed to easily allow families to share events while they are apart, and this scrapbook will allow families to capture ... events to share for a lifetime."
Today in Chicago, Connect And Join, a Web-based company that provides a forum for military families to keep in touch when their loved ones deploy, announced it is teaming with K&Company to make recording those events more special. K&Company, which produces scrapbooks and other methods of preserving memories, will be producing a Connect And Join Memory Scrapbook Kit.
The kit will be available this fall at major retail locations where craft and scrapbook items are sold, Kati Elliot, a Connect And Join spokeswoman said. With a suggested retail price of $29.95, it will contain an archival quality 12-inch-by-12-inch scrapbook with patriotic-themed paper, die-cut sticker sheets and a complimentary copy of the Connect And Join magazine.
A portion of the royalties earned by Connect And Join for the use of its name -- up to $5 per scrapbook sold -- will go to the Connect And Join Military Family Fund. This fund will be used to provide Connect And Join magazine subscriptions for military families and to support arts and crafts and computer education programs the organization provides during day camps for National Guard children.
"K&Company is all about helping people preserve and share their memories with future generations," Kay Stanley, founder and president of K&Company, said. "Now we get to help make sure those memories re made in the first place simply by helping families communicate."
As an America Supports You corporate team member, Connect And Join wanted to give back to the military community, Dennis said in a news release. "We are happy that K&Company also saw this vision and helped us bring it to fruition," she said.
The scrapbooks fill a distinct need, Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for internal communications and public liaison, said.
"Connect And Join and the Connect And Join Memory Scrapbook Kit help bridge the gap between military families and their loved ones serving for us all over the world," she said. "We appreciate all the work of Connect And Join in aiding our servicemen and women with something so valuable to them, the feeling of being connected to home."
America Supports You is a nationwide Defense Department program highlighting the efforts of grassroots and corporate team members who support the nation's servicemembers.

"This is the hottest borough in the five boroughs," Borough President Eric Adams said. "The other boroughs got to keep up with us."
Adams may have been right, because the blazing summer heat could not keep the crowds away as the courtyard outside of Borough Hall filled around noon with fans chanting for the hit reggae artist to take the stage.
The Grammy award winner was brought to Brooklyn for a free concert series through Music Brings Life, a non-profit organization that educates African-American, Latino and Caribbean youth about the benefits of blood donation.
"We strive to get them to understand the importance of donating blood by having blood awareness concerts," president and founder of Music Brings Life Keenan "Special" Bristol said.
While a number of artists took the stage at the bottom of Borough Hall's marble steps, the American Red Cross was conducting a blood drive in the front of the building, allowing concert-goers to easily shift from one event to the other.
But the hot ticket for the afternoon was clearly headliner Shaggy, whose fans dutifully waited in the hot sun for the Jamaican-American performer as other artists — singers Ruby Collins, Young Devyn and Star Laurel and violinist Phearnone — did their best to appease the anxious crowd.
Soon enough, the crowd could not be contained any longer, and "Shag-gy" chants filled the air.
When he finally took the stage, amid screams and applause, Shaggy delivered a brief but satisfying performance, including all of his biggest hits: "Bombastic," "Angel" and "It Wasn't Me."
"You know what you do when you get caught?" he asked before launching into his anthem for discovered cheaters, "It Wasn't Me."
"You pull a Bill Clinton," and sporting his best Clinton voice, he said, "'I did not have sexual relations with that woman.'"
The concert was the first of three in the joint summer music series and blood drives. The others will take place on July 16 and Aug. 13. Brooklyn's own Ricky Blaze will be the headline performer at the July 16th blood drive.
A reported 23 pints of blood were collected at the first in the series. All of the donors will receive a free ticket to the 2014 5Alarm Blaze Music Brings Life Blood Awareness Concert on Aug. 31 at Stage 48 in Manhattan, which the organization promises will "feature the hottest Caribbean artists of the year."

MINEOLA, N.Y. - Two dozen passengers have joined a New York lawsuit against JetBlue Airways.
They're now among 34 passengers who claim they feared for their lives when a pilot had to be restrained in the cabin while ranting wildly during a Las Vegas-bound flight.
The March flight was diverted and safely landed in Amarillo.
An amended lawsuit was filed Thursday in state Supreme Court in Queens.
It claims the airline was "grossly negligent" in allowing Capt. Clayton Osbon to fly.
Osbon was charged with interference with a flight crew, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity in July.
A JetBlue spokeswoman said after the initial lawsuit was filed that the airline does not comment on pending litigation.

Kevin does bring up very good points. According to my position and title, I make assumtions as to what is expected of me. They usually tell me I'm doing a good job for specific projects, but I've never actually asked management what they really expect of me and what they really want me to do.
It does take the initiative to ask. Something I should be doing more regularly. Thanks for bringing this article to my attention.

The Harvard softball team looks to lock up the Ivy League North Division and secure championship hosting duties as it takes on Dartmouth in a home-and-home series this weekend. Harvard needs just one win in four games to claim the division and two to secure home-field advantage in the league championship series.
Second Annual Friends of Jaclyn Day
Harvard Athletics will celebrate its second annual Friends of Jaclyn Day on Sunday, May 1. Events will be held during Harvard softball's doubleheader against Dartmouth (2 p.m. start) and baseball's twinbill against Dartmouth (1 p.m. start).
The softball team will sponsor a raffle to raise funds for the organization and will also accept donations throughout the day's events. First prize in the raffle is a pair of Red Sox tickets located behind home plate. For more information on Friends of Jaclyn Day, please click here.
Last Time Out
Harvard wrapped up a season sweep of Yale Tuesday with a scrappy 12-11 win in Game 1 and a five-inning 11-3 win in Game 2. Ellen Macadam recorded three hits in each game, including a triple in each contest, to lead the Harvard offense, while Kasey Lange drove in five runs for the Crimson in Game 2. Rachel Brown struck out 12 Bulldogs in the first game, and Laura Ricciardone picked up wins in both contests, going all five innings in Game 2 for her 12th win of the season.
Noteworthy Stats
With her 12 strikeouts against Yale Tuesday, Rachel Brown upped her season strikeout total to 260, the highest single-season strikeout total in the history of the Ivy League. Brown also enters the weekend ranked third in the nation in strikeouts per game with 11.6 and is tied for 11th in total strikeouts.
Ellen Macadam leads the Crimson with a .444 batting average, which ranks in the top 20 nationally, and recently set the Harvard single-season runs-scored record with 45 so far this year. Kasey Lange is one RBI away from tying the program mark of 56 and has already set the program record with 18 doubles this year. She ranks in the top 10 nationally in RBI per game (1.25) and doubles per game (0.41).
As a team, Harvard ranks in the top 25 in batting average (.319), fielding percentage (.974) and doubles per game (1.77).
Scouting the Big Green
Dartmouth is the only other team besides Harvard to earn an Ivy North Division title, claiming the top spot in the league in 2009. The Big Green brings a 10-6 league record into this weekend's games after taking three of four from Brown last weekend. Dartmouth needs to sweep Harvard this weekend in order to force a one-game playoff to determine the North Division champion.
Noelle Ramirez leads a potent Dartmouth lineup with a .351 batting average, 39 hits and 61 total bases this season. Molly Khalil has provided the power for the Big Green, posting team-high totals of 25 RBI, six home runs, eight doubles and a .576 slugging percentage. Dartmouth boasts six players with at least 20 hits this season on its roster.
Evan Gray and Hillary Barker have done the bulk of the pitching this season for Dartmouth, combining for 209 of the team's 228.2 innings pitched. Gray holds a 3.35 earned-run average, a 6-8 record and 61 total strikeouts while Barker has a 4.13 ERA, 62 K's and a 9-7 mark this season.
Up Next
The winner of the North Division will take on the winner of the South Division in the Ivy League Championship Series May 7-8 at the home of the team with the best record in the league.

First it was a soccer ball in Alaska. Then it was a Harley Davidson in British Columbia. Now, even more debris from the Japan tsunami is showing up on the shores of North America. The latest find is a giant dock, discovered on a beach in Oregon.
It's massive—66 feet long by 19 feet wide by seven feet tall—and it floated all the way from Misawa, a city on the northern tip of Honshu. And its discovery portends of more to come. About five million tons of crap washed into the ocean as a result of the disaster, and we've just begun to find some of it on the West Coast of North America. It seems to be traveling faster than expected, too. Experts thought this wreckage wouldn't start landing here until at least March 2013, but it looks like it's ahead of schedule. [Oregonian via NPR]
