CHARLESTON, S.C. - One by one, survivors and family members of those killed by Dylann Roof stood before him Wednesday morning and told him about the devastating impact he had on their lives when he opened fire during a June 2015 Bible study meeting at a historic black Charleston church and killed nine people.
Roof, 22, listened impassively, staring at the table in front of him as they spoke. At the end of the sentencing hearing, the self-proclaimed white supremacist will become the first person in the United States to be sentenced to death in connection with a federal hate crime.

In pronouncing that sentence, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel told the courtroom that Roof would pay for his crimes with his life. "This hate, this viciousness, this moral depravity will not go unanswered," Gergel said, according to ABC News. Gergel formally sentenced Roof to death on each of the 12 charges of obstruction of religion for which he was convicted. On Roof's hate crime convictions, he sentenced him to the maximum of life in prison. The judge denied Roof's request for new lawyers to help him file a motion for a new trial. He ordered that the renowned defense team that represented him at the trial that just ended stay on the case. Gergel gave the defense team 30 days to file the motion, but Roof filed an appeal asking for more time. Roof also has the option to appeal his case.

Roof was convicted last month of 33 separate charges stemming from the June 17, 2015, mass shooting at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church.
The Post and Courier in Charleston reported that survivor Felicia Sanders, one of just three people in the Bible study meeting who was not shot and killed, was the first person to deliver a victim impact statement. Sanders spoke to Roof as she held the bloodstained Bible that she had with her on the night she saw him kill those around her, including her 26-year-old son, Tywanza Sanders, and Susie Jackson, her 87-year-old aunt.
"I brought my Bible to the courtroom shot up," Sanders told him, according to the newspaper. "It reminds me of the blood Jesus shed for me and you, Dylann Roof."
She told Roof that she forgave him for his actions, but that it's impossible to help a person who refuses to help himself.
"May God have mercy on your soul," Sanders said.
Tywanza Sanders' aunt, Jamie Scott, told Roof that her nephew wished to be an organ donor when he died, but the shooting caused too much damage to his organs. Sanders had at least four bullets in his body at the time of his autopsy.
"Not only did you destroy the love Tywanza had. You have taken away from someone who could have had his eyes, his kidney and that great big heart," Scott told Roof.
A granddaughter of retired Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr., who was also killed in the massacre, told Roof that the hate-filled message he attempted to send with his actions was not received, the Post and Courier reported. She pointed out that the victims' families and the public had chosen a different path.
"Your choices brought us here, but our choice to respond with love has kept us here," Alana Simmons said. "We are all moving on in love and moving on in strength, and nothing you can ever do will be able to stop that."
Many of the victims' relatives expressed forgiveness despite the pain that they've suffered since the shooting, the Post and Courier reported. Dan Simmons Jr., who lost his father, urged Roof to find faith in God.
Family members of the Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor were angry, with a niece of the beloved minister berating him for his demeanor during the trial.
"How dare you sit here every day, looking dumb-faced and acting like you did nothing wrong?" Ashland Temoney shouted. "You are the biggest coward I have ever seen in my life. You can't even look us in the face."
Temoney told Roof that his effort to start a race war failed, the Post and Courier reported, and that the massacre brought people together to talk about the difficult topic of race instead.
Middleton-Doctor's daughter, Gracyn Doctor, told Roof she hoped his guilt "eats (him) alive," the newspaper said.
"Hopefully, you will go straight to hell, where you will spend an eternity," Doctor said.
Bethane Middleton-Brown, Middleton-Doctor's sister, told Roof that he had not taken anything from her sister or their family because God protects his followers' souls and her spirit will continue.
"You can't have my joy. It is simply not yours to take," Middleton-Brown said.
Roof's sentencing comes after nearly a week of testimony from victims' family and friends, who offered a glimpse into their lives to jurors debating Roof's fate. Roof, who represented himself during the penalty phase of the case, offered little in the way of a defense, but claimed that he does not harbor hatred for black people and that federal prosecutors have "no idea what real hate is."
He also said that he still believes that he did what he had to do when he opened fire in Emanuel's fellowship hall. Jurors previously saw Roof's writings in a jailhouse journal, in which he wrote that he was not sorry for the murders and had sympathy only for himself and for white people who had to live alongside black people and those "killed daily at the hands of the lower race."
Testimony during his trial indicated that the people whom he killed had welcomed him into their Bible study the night of the shooting, with Emanuel minister the Rev. Clementa Pinckney offering him the seat next to him. Roof sat through about 45 minutes of their discussion and, as Pinckney and his church members closed their eyes for the final prayer of the meeting, pulled out a Glock pistol and began shooting.
Pinckney and eight of the 11 church members in attendance were killed. Besides Sanders, Jackson, Simmons and Middleton-Doctor, the victims included the Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Cynthia Hurd, Ethel Lee Lance and Myra Thompson.
Felicia Sanders survived by hiding under a table, rubbing blood from her son and aunt on her legs and playing dead. She saved her 11-year-old granddaughter by clutching the girl so tightly to her chest that she was afraid she'd smother the child, she testified.
The third survivor, Polly Sheppard, was also uninjured. Sheppard, 71, testified last month that Roof told her he would let her live so she could tell the story of what he'd done.

Minnesota senators joined the House on Thursday night in voting to eliminate a law requiring students to pass a test before graduating high school.
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor education bill, spending nearly $15.7 billion in the next two years, passed 35-28 after Republicans refused to vote for 10 minutes when Senate President Sandra Pappas, DFL-St. Paul, did not call on two GOP members seeking to speak. Most Republicans eventually put up their "no" votes, but some sat in their seats and never voted.
Three Democrats joined Republicans in opposing the measure after a debate lasting more than nine hours.
The bill would eliminate the test high school students now must pass before graduating. Under the bill, students could graduate once they receive the required number of academic credits.
The Senate bill would require schools to work with students to make post-high school plans for college or a career. Students showing enough achievement by 11th grade would take a college entrance exam and be encouraged to attend college.
Students deemed not ready for college would receive remedial aid.
Republicans said the DFL plan would leave a question about whether students are qualified to receive a diploma. But Education Finance Chairman Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, said the bill requires graduates to successfully receive specific credits to graduate.
"It is more than seat time," Wiger said.
Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, said all students should not be judged by the same test because they "have different abilities, different skills, different interests. … They don't learn at the same pace."
Sen. Branden Petersen, R-Andover, said students need to pass the standard test or they would "graduate from high school under false pretenses."
Sen. Sean Nienow, R-Cambridge, said killing the test means Minnesota would have "a complete lack of standards. … They don't have to prove they know anything."
An amendment to restore the graduation test failed 34-31.
The overall bill would spend nearly $15.7 billion in the next two years, the largest single portion of the state's $38 billion budget.
The Senate-passed bill is similar to what the House approved earlier this week and Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton wants. The three funding plans will go to a conference committee to work out differences before final House and Senate votes next month.
The Senate and House bills would provide funds for free all-day kindergarten for all Minnesota students.
Clausen said all-day kindergarten helps prepare students to eventually succeed in the workforce.
"All-day kindergarten provides a foundation for learning, improves student achievement and reduces achievement gaps," Clausen said. "All students need to have access to quality all-day kindergarten programs."
He said schools that now offer the option for a fee charge $300 to $400 per month, which is "creating educational winners and losers."
The education bill also would:
— Provide $50 million in scholarships so 7,000 children in poor families may attend preschool.
— Increase per-pupil state aid by an average of $526 in the next two years.
— Require schools "to assist all students to explore college and career interests."
— Continue mathematics, reading and writing tests, but not require passage to receive a diploma.
— Provide $150 million in property tax relief.
— Eliminate current requirement that teachers pass a test before being licensed.
— Require youths to attend high school until they are 17, one year longer than now required.
— Allow Tracy schools to levy remaining disabled access levy in the next two years.
— Let Norman County West levy up to $27,500 each of the next two years to repair an elevator.
— Permit Cyrus and Morris school districts to issue up to $1 million in bonds to demolish the Cyrus school building as the districts consolidate.

"Right now it has five cameras in it and a projector and a bunch of other stuff," Buxton said.

Nice post, Pollux, thanks.
I had the chance of trying them within a short period of time and came to the conclusion that resemblances are notorious: crisp hesperidic notes morphing into indolic notes. Trophée seems like a masculinized version of the original Ô, but both drydowns are very similar, as a matter of fact, to the point at wich the last one can claim the masculine character that makes it unisex.
Regarding Homme de Gres, even though analogous in structure, these are limited to hesperidic (citric) top notes, the difference being mid and base notes reminiscing Cabochard's base notes. It would seem that Homme's perfumist combined the indolic character of Cabochard with citric notes proper of classic mid XX century eaux targetted to men, like Roudniska's Eau Sauvage and Moustache.
Just to wrap it up, if the reader is fond of Trophèe but unavailable of getting it and / or used to wear Homme de Gres but regrets Homme's discontinuation, Lancôme's Ô might be a pretty good option.

Nice post, Pollux, thanks.
Thnx for sharing your thought Pollux!
my admiration for Homme de Gres is growing with each wear. it's truly a stunning fragrance. and to know it;s in the same genre as Lancome trophee is truly encouraging to know! Xmen still has bottles of those lancomes, might as well pick it up while it's available once again, Thnx!!!!

Nice post, Pollux.
I actually got O de Lancome last week and it was my SotM yesterday. I actually find it more exciting and longer lasting than (today's) Eau Sauvage.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
So Homme de Gres has Cabochard-like leathery drydown?
Is that waht you mean, Pollux?
In that case I better would search some Homme de Gres!!!
(Also I`d like to know more about O pour homme by Lancome)
Vetiver The Great!!!
Regarding Ed'OV--sure, there is alot of very juicy orange at the start. However, very quickly it turns green, green, green, and it has a lovely leathery moss base that is a tad drier than OdL's. Mmm, makes me want to wear it today even though it will be chilly!

Are you talking about O or O Pour Homme Pollux?
mike is raising a good point, I was wondering that myself.
I have Trophee and O Pour Homme. Of the two, I find Trophee to be the more powerful. I can't say that I got a pronounced indolic note in either of them, but it has been a while since I've tried those.
"The force that through the green fuse drives the flower // drives my green age..." Dylan Thomas
Regarding the one for men, (Ô Pour Homme) it does not have anything to do with the rest of the fragrances that I commented.

High end processors VS low end processors/receivers, hardware differences?

Probably? I asked for some kind of proof.

More expensive caps release the signal much quicker, thereby reducing the smearing and giving you better detail.
While you might not notice that there is distortion in the signal, if you could magically instantly replace all the cheap parts
with really good parts you would notice the difference.
Here is a simple real life example:
I have a Moscode 300 power amp. After having it repaired and getting slight mods from George Kaye, the designer,
I cheap bridge rectifier and replaced it with four discrete high speed diodes. This alone made a noticeable improvement
in the sound.
Your higher priced pre/pro should have much better quality parts, a heftier power supply and higher quality circuit boards.
It will also have more types of digital processing.
I will be getting an Outlaw 997 when it comes out. While it is not a super high end pre/pro it is sold direct so it should be equal to a $3000 US unit. Look it up and notice all the features. If Outlaw didn't have to pay for the licenses for all the processing it
would cost a lot less.
Really? Do you have anything to back up these "statements"?

It is night and day. Thunderous bass, silky high even in the surround channels, deep, really deep soundstage.
I'm a more than happy owner.
I guess it must be true since you said it, so much for wanting the best, you do not have HDMI or room correction.

Nov 12 (Reuters) - Western Refining Inc said it would buy a controlling stake in Northern Tier Energy LP for about $775 million to add refining capacity with direct access to cheap crude oil.
Western Refining will buy a 38.7 percent stake in Northern Tier from private equity firms TPG Capital Management and ACON Investments Ltd and 100 percent of the general partner that controls Northern Tier.
Western Refining shares were up nearly 10 percent at $36.51 on Tuesday morning on the New York Stock Exchange. Northern Tier shares rose 4 percent to $24.16.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the deal, citing people familiar with the matter. ()
Northern Tier's refining business primarily consists of an 89,500-barrels-per-day refinery located in St. Paul Park, Minnesota, near North Dakota's Bakken shale field.
The refinery is closer to the Bakken than most U.S. refineries and is also well-positioned to receive discounted Canadian crude oil from the big pipeline networks that run through Minnesota.
U.S. refiners typically sell refined products such as gasoline and diesel at prices linked to more expensive European Brent crude, boosting margins for those with access to cheap U.S. shale crude.
Bakken and Canadian crude differentials are expected to be priced at a discount to international and other domestic crudes for at least the next couple of years, Simmons & Co analysts wrote in note to clients.
Western Refining operates the El Paso refinery in Texas and Gallup refinery in New Mexico, with combined refining capacity of about 151,000 barrels per day.
Northern Tier is structured as a master-limited partnership, a dividend-paying investment vehicle that enjoys special tax breaks and is often used by natural resources companies.
UBS Securities LLC was Western Refining's financial adviser, while Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP were its legal counsels.
Barclays and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as co-financial advisers to ACON and TPG.

Deep Rationality
Evolutionary psychology meets behavioral economics.
Posted Nov 12, 2009
Charles Darwin and Daniel Kahneman: Radical changes are in store when these two men are properly introduced to one another.
Behavioral economics has become an increasingly popular topic over the last few years, as demonstrated by the success of a string of books like Predictably Irrational, Nudge, and Sway. Challenging the classical model of rational man -- which depicts people as well-informed decision-makers - behavioral economists have incorporated the insights of cognitive and social psychology - fields where researchers have done a rich business demonstrating people's tendencies to use simplistic and irrational biases. A classic example is Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky's demonstration of loss aversion - the finding that people are more psychologically moved by a loss of $100 than by a gain of an identical amount. To a rational economic mind, $100 is worth exactly $100. But Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for a body of work illustrating that this seemingly simple and rational equation ain't necessarily so.
Just down the aisle in the bookstore, the last few years have also witnessed a bustling business in the various volumes on evolutionary psychology, with Steven Pinker's How the Mind Works and Blank Slate as definitive examples of the genre. The evolutionary approach begins with the presumption that we can better understand everything about human behavior, from altruism to xenophobia, by considering our species in light of what biologists have learned about other animals (even those who don't invest in stock portfolios). With regard to decision-making, a central message of evolutionary psychology is that the human mind is best conceived not as a massive information-crunching computer, but as a multitude of mini-minds -- a collection of independent mental adaptations specifically designed to solve particular adaptive problems by crunching different kinds of information in very different ways.
Just as the infusion of cognitive psychology had a jolting impact on how we think about economics, the infusion of evolutionary psychology is likely to produce yet another seismic uplift in the terrain. On the evolutionary view, what seems irrational at the surface level may be, on closer examination, deeply rational.
The implications of the evolutionary multiple-mind viewpoint for everyday economic decision-making are thus far largely unexplored. But there is already evidence that the decision-rules a woman uses when thinking about how to negotiate with a stranger in the marketplace do not follow the same math as the mental rules she'd use in deciding how to exchange resources with her son --who shares half her genes, and is dependent on her generosity if he is himself to survive to reproductive age. Besides the different mental rules for dealing with strangers and close kin, everyday people need yet another set of decision-biases for interacting with friends -- to whom they are linked not by shared genes, but by trust-based reciprocal exchanges. And romantic partners do business according to still another set of decision-rules. In a series of studies I've conducted with a team of colleagues including Vlad Griskevicius, Jill Sundie, Bob Cialdini, we've found that a person's decisions -- about whether to conspicuously and wastefully throw around his or her wealth, to display his or her benevolence and nurturance, to risk a fight, or to go against group opinion -- will ebb and flow in predictable ways depending on whether that person is a she or a he, and on whether he or she is in a mating frame of mind, as opposed to thinking about status or worrying about life and limb.
Three of my former graduate students -- Jill Sundie, Norm Li, and Vlad Griskevicius -- had studied economics before shifting their interests to evolutionary psychology. Sundie and Griskevicius are now professors of business (at University of Texas and Minnesota, respectively). Norm Li is a professor of social psychology with joint appointments at the University of Texas and Singapore Management University. In a paper titled "Deep rationality: The evolutionary economics of decision-making," Griskevicius, Sundie, and Li join forces with me and with Arizona State's Steve Neuberg and Jessica Li to reconsider the intersection of evolutionary psychology and behavioral economics. The paper was just released this month as part of a special issue of the journal Social Cognition focusing on the "rationality debate."
It has been very useful for economists to use a common coin of "utility" to compare the psychological value of desirable outcomes as different as a tasty meal with friends, a romantic vacation, and a Porsche Carrera GT. But it's now the 21st century, and high time to seriously consider the differences between different forms of utility. Our evolutionary approach to decision-making assumes that the human mind keeps the distinct forms of currency separate, and evaluates different commodities very differently depending on whether that human mind is located in a man or a woman, and whether that man or woman is at the stage of life when they are seeking a mate, caring for a child, or helping take care of his or her children.
Besides the decision-making variations arising from a person's sex and life history stage, our model suggests that each individual decision-maker has several different economic subselves, and that the subself in charge right now depends on which adaptive threats and opportunities are currently prominent in the environment. What looks like irrationality to one subself may be deeply rational to another. Your marketplace subself, which is dominated by the question: "What's in it for moi?" would be aghast at the exorbitant bill your parental subself has run up sending junior through college, for example.
The logic of Deep Rationality suggests that fundamental biological motives such as mating and self protection should drastically change all the traditional behavioral economic biases, such as temporal discounting (the tendency to take a loss for an immediate payoff rather than wait for a larger one), and probability discounting (the tendency to prefer a certain payoff over a chance at a larger one). The same motives should also move around what a person regards as a luxury versus as a necessity, and should do so very differently for men and women. A series of experiments by Norm Li and his colleagues has already begun to demonstrate the profound importance of distinguishing between luxuries and necessities in different aspects of social decision-making.
Let's reconsider the classic case of "loss aversion" in this light. Evolutionary theorists including E.O. Wilson have suggested that ancestral humans might have been generally inclined to worry more about avoiding losses than acquiring gains, given that they frequently lived close to the margin of survival (extra food would be nice, but insufficient food could mean death). This provides a possible adaptationist hypothesis about past conditions, but does not fully exploit the scientific strengths of the modern evolutionary approach, which can be used to generate specific new hypotheses about when and how loss aversion should ebb and flow with functionally important motivations. For example, the usual inclination toward loss aversion should be erased or even reversed when a mating motive is activated. Furthermore, this erasure should occur only for males, and not for females. Why? As evolutionary biologists have noted, female mammals (including Homo sapiens) have an intrinsically high minimum investment in their young, and this inspires them to be relatively more selective in choosing mates. As a consequence, males must compete to be chosen by the more discriminating females. There are various ways for a male to say: "Pick me! Pick me!" One is to display a noticeable wasteful display (such as a peacock's feathers or a Porsche Carrera); another is to directly outcompete the other males (butting them with antlers or winning a fight for a well-appointed executive office). To beat out the competition, it helps to take risks, and indeed male mammals become especially risky during the mating season. It follows that men primed to think about mating should act like big-horned sheep during the rutting season - when too great an aversion to losses would prevent the kind of risky competition that will beat out the other males.
If our logic is correct, then the standard Kahneman and Tversky loss aversion curves (now reprinted widely in modern economics textbooks) will change in predictable ways for men under the influence of a mating motive. As part of a series of ongoing experiments funded by the National Science Foundation, Jessica Li, Vlad Griskevicius, Steve Neuberg and I have been testing this particular hypothesis. Stay tuned and I'll fill you in on our specific results. But for now, let me close with a suggestion: We are on the verge of a totally new way of thinking about economic rationality. To say that we are "predictably irrational" only captures half of the truth. As we begin to update behavioral economics with an understanding of the evolved modular mind, our seeming irrationalities will be found to be not only predictable, but at a more important level, deeply rational.

Columbia County investigators likely put an end to a rash of truck break-ins at truck stops and hotels along Interstate 20 with the arrest of two Augusta men.
James Gary Brown, 46, of Kevin Drive, and Troy Goodman, 33, of Rutledge Drive, were charged with two counts of burglary, possession of tools for the commission of a crime and obstruction of police.
Since late August, numerous tractor-trailer drivers told police their cargo trailers were broken into during the early morning hours while they were parked at hotels or truck stops near I-20.
Columbia County Sheriff's Office investigators were conducting a surveillance operation at about 9:30 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Pilot Travel Center at 4091 Jimmie Dyess Parkway. They saw Brown and Goodman come onto the property from a nearby hotel, where they parked their vehicle.
Investigators saw Brown break into a trailer while Goodman stood as a lookout. Brown used bolt cutters to cut the lock off a second trailer. The pair unloaded several brown boxes and stacked them on the ground.
As soon as police approached and identified themselves, the two men ran. Goodman was immediately arrested, and Brown was captured after a brief foot chase.
The men are suspected in at least 13 other burglaries of cargo trailers at the Pilot and nearby hotels, according to sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
"Those crimes have stopped since they were arrested," Morris said.
Nothing was taken from trailers containing furniture and Hallmark greeting cards. But items stolen from other trailers include $422.93 worth of various cuts of beef, $300 worth of paper towels, $800 worth of toilet tissue, $500 worth of Heinz ketchup, 25 cases of Renuzit air freshener, $2,900 worth of meats and $200 worth of cheese.
Brown and Goodman are being held in the Columbia County Detention Center without bond, according to jail records.

Part of the reason Matthew Wood chose to attend the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau was because he had heard about the Alaska Permanent Fund internship program.
"I knew about the program before I even came up here," said Wood, who is from Oregon. "I had been planning for two years to go for this."
Wood, 23, is an intern this summer in the finance department of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corp., a state agency that manages the permanent fund. With communications department intern Melissa Roberts, they are the most recent additions to a program that began in the mid-1980s.
"The program is something to be very proud of; it's really grown" said Robert Storer, APFC's executive director. "We've used it as a source to identify bright people and it's been a great success."
Each year, the APFC receives applications for paid internships to be served at the agency's offices in Juneau and at private firms that manage the investment of the permanent fund's principal. Applicants must be students attending Alaska universities, Alaska residents attending schools outside of the state, or recent graduates in those categories.
"Our main goal is dual," said Joan Cahill, communications specialist at the APFC. "We want to serve Alaskans and we want to promote Alaska universities because we're a state entity."
Cahill said the qualifications are the same for the internal and external intern positions, and applicants must have an overall grade-point average of 2.5 or 3.0 within their majors. A GPA of 3.0 is a B average. Successful applicants earn an hourly wage.
The APFC has almost 30 national and international firms managing the investment of the permanent fund's principal. Those firms invest in stocks, real estate and bonds. The income produced from the investments pays dividends, inflation-proofs the principal and increases the size of the principal.
"We invite just about all of our managers to participate in the program," Cahill said. "This year, 12 firms responded and there were 11 hires. Usually we can count on offering Alaska students anywhere between a dozen and 15 internships a year."
Joe Pelayo, a recent UAS graduate, was hired this summer as an intern with Rogge Global Partners, a fixed-income manager in London.
"I just graduated with a bachelor's degree in business management," Pelayo said. "This is my first time in London and I'm working for a high-caliber company. It's a little overwhelming, but after the first week or so you get adjusted and just try to do your best."
Pelayo said he is using skills he learned in his degree program and is learning about international bonds. For the first 10 days at the company, he constructed an economic barometer graph for Japan, and within a month was studying emerging markets and profiling businesses.
"My career plans are to get involved in international business, and this has been a huge help," Pelayo said. "Finance is crucial to any business, and the skills I'm learning here will help whether I'm on my own or if I go into finance."
Pelayo's internship began June 5 and ends Aug. 30.
"This is a wonderful program," Pelayo said. "A lot more students should look into it. Give it a try, there's nothing to lose."
Communications intern Melissa Roberts, 34, is originally from Asheville, N.C., but moved to Juneau from Miami in 1995. She is a business major at UAS, but says communications has always been her strength.
"My marketing classes are my best classes, so that's what led me here," Roberts said. "This was my goal when I decided to go to Juneau; I wanted to work for the permanent fund."
Cahill said there are two goals for the communications intern. The first is that Roberts gets a thorough introduction to the mission of the communications department.
"Our mission is to provide reliable and timely and accurate communication to the Alaska public about the permanent fund," Cahill said. "How do we go about that? What tools do we use?"
The second goal of the communications internship is that Roberts gets overall exposure to the APFC.
"We want to be sure she can go out and explain to people what this organization's all about, how it's structured, and why we have things organized the way we do," Cahill said.
Roberts has been researching on the Web and off it as the APFC redesigns its Web site and prepares for this year's annual meeting.
"I'm doing a lot of research on other Web sites and there's a plethora of information about how you can design things," Roberts said. "The part I enjoy most is learning so much about the permanent fund and its history and why it exists, which was the impetus for me applying for this job, because I wanted to know more. I wanted to know why and how."
Wood, whom Roberts calls "the number guy," has been working this summer on several projects for the APFC's finance department.
"When the interns come on board we're usually at our fiscal year end," said Chris Phillips, director of finance at APFC. "We're getting ready for our auditors to come and the intern helps us in whatever area we think needs some focus for the audit."
Wood, an accounting major at UAS, is assisting in the APFC's reconciliation process and making sure accrued expenses are correct. He calculates the APFC's daily unaudited position and is helping the corporation integrate a new real estate accounting software package into the daily functions of the department.
"He's helping us out a lot," Phillips said. "He's quite talented, very smart and learns quickly, so it's really fun to work with someone like that."
Phillips said that every year the APFC hires someone from UAS because the accounting program there is strong.
"We're not necessarily targeting UAS because we do look at (all the applicants) seriously," Phillips said. "The top candidate always ends up a UAS grad."
Cahill describes the program as an exchange in which the corporation offers the intern mentorship and an opportunity to learn, and the intern offers value and lasting benefits to the APFC.
"When they leave here, we have something we wouldn't have had if they hadn't been here," Cahill said. "We will often have trustees refer to some valuable list created by an intern that's still being referred to at board meetings two or three years later."
Roberts thinks the APFC should be commended for its internship program because it has interns working with national and international companies.
"It's an amazing opportunity for Alaskan students," Roberts said. "I feel very fortunate to be here."
Wood said the APFC integrates interns into its team and makes them part of the department, always taking time to teach.
"I thought I was going to be copy boy," Wood said. "I have done a little copying, but not much."

Michigan is one of the last remaining strongholds of our only resident rattlesnake, the massasauga.
Found in shallow wetlands and adjoining grassy areas, the maasasauga is the smallest and least
venomous of all North American rattlensnakes. Ranging from about 24 to 30 inches
in length, they are similar in appearance to several other Michigan snakes such as the milk
snake and hognose snakes. It can be distinguished by its thin, vertical pupils, wide
triangular shaped head and heat sensitive pits on each side of the head between the pupil
and the nostril. These snakes are shy and non-aggressive and prefer to flee rather than
fight. The massasauga has recently been listed as endangered by the USFWS mainly due to
loss of wetlands throughout their range, and persecution by humans due to unfounded fears.
Massasauga prefer to eat small rodents, such as mice and moles, as well as insects. Snakes
can be very beneficial to humans, keeping pest populations under control. A monitoring program is now underway throughout Michigan and Binder Park Zoo plans to play and active role in the
conservation of the massasauga. The zoo has several hundred acres of wetlands which is ideal
habitat for this rare snake. We will conduct surveys for snakes on our property and continue to
maintain habitat for these wonderful creatures. If you think you see a massasauga rattlesnake,
note the time, date and location and contact the zoo or the Department of Natural Resources at
517-373-1263. Move away from the snake and never attempt to chase or capture them as they will
bite if they have to defend themselves, but they prefer to be left alone. If someone is bitten by a rattlesnake seek medical attention immediately.

High-tech parlor allows for major cost-savings for Elkton-area farmer
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, June 12, 2006
ELKTON A rather simple idea, coupled with some very expensive, high-tech equipment, has allowed an Elkton-area dairy farmer a more efficient way to milk his herd, along with saving his farm both time and money.
By STACY LANGLEY
ELKTON A rather simple idea, coupled with some very expensive, high-tech equipment, has allowed an Elkton-area dairy farmer a more efficient way to milk his herd, along with saving his farm both time and money.
When dairy farmer Mervyn Roundtree was ready to up-grade an old-style milking parlor, he said he did his homework to find just the right fit for his farma move that has paid off by saving him plenty in labor costs alone.
Roundtree moved to Michigan from Ireland about five years ago with his wife, Avril, and their children, Ben, now 19, and Rebecca, 17 in pursuit of operating a dairy farm in the states.
The family moved into an existing older style dairy farm it purchased from Don Young, located on Farver Road just north of the village of Elkton.
Youngs milking operation was a herringbone double-12 where just 96 cows were milked.
But Roundtree said he had much larger plans for the farm.
Roundtree said over the years hes made a gradual move toward expanding his dairy herd where he now milks 850 cows.
Part of the farms transformation from the small farm of the past to a more progressive high-tech dairy operation didnt stop with the increase in the farms number of cows. The expansion called for adding a new milking parlor known as a Rotary 40.
The parlor, just as the name suggest, milks 40 cows as the round carousel type platform makes one rotation, moving cows around in a circle as they are milked. We can milk 200 to 250 cows per hour, said Roundtree about the system which was installed in mid-December at his farm by Handrich Farm Supply of Decker.
I bought the system from Dairy Master USA out of Cincinnati, Ohio, said Roundtree. Then we hired someone local to install it.
He said the total system cost him about $1 million and needs just one person to operate. But the biggest challenge Roundtree said he faced was getting the cows acquainted with the system of going both on and off.
I have to admit, my first impression wasnt good. We had to train the cows to go on. It took a good 10 days before the cows were used to it, he said. They needed time to figure out what was going on. About 10 days then things started to go smooth.
Its like any new parlor, it takes time to get used to it, time for the cows to be relaxed. At one point I thought we were going to have to carry them in. It gets better each day. Id say were very close to meeting my expectations.
The first six or eight weeks I would have been reluctant to recommend it, but I would now.
The Rotary 40 consist of a turntable with individual stalls for cows around the outer edge. The turntable is turned by an electric motor drive at a rate that one turn is the time for a cow to be milked completely.
Roundtree explained that a cow approaches the gate to access the milking parlor area. The system reads each cows tag number to make sure the cow hasnt already been milked. As an empty stall passes the entrance, a cow steps on, facing the center, and rotates with the turntable. The next cow moves into the next vacant stall, and so on. The operator, or milker, cleans the teats, attaches the milker cups and does any other operations that are necessary. Cows are milked as the platform rotates. The milker, or an automatic device, removes the milking machine cups. When the cow is done milking, the cups automatically come off and the cow backs out and leaves at an exit just before the entrance.
The rotary system is capable of milking very large herds in just a short time, said Roundtree, who added he has a few cows that take more than once around before theyre finished milking.
But for the most part, just one ride around and the cow is done. The cow then backs off the carousel and exits the milking area.
Its a simple philosophy, said Roundtree. There were a lot of these (rotary parlors) in the 1970s and 80s, and they had problems with them back then. Now, there are no problem. The university studies will tell you that theyre the most efficient way to go. You save on labor costs. Its a return on my investment.
The Roundtree farm milks three times each day with each milking lasting about 4 1/2 hours. Roundtree said while the system allowed him to cut down on the number of people he needed each milking, the system requires good help to operate. The farm employs nine full-time and a few part-time employees.
We hire all local people to work here, its a nice place to work, said Roundtree. Its all computerized, not like an old parlor. Just one mistake and it can stop everything, though.
Roundtree Dairy ships about 86,000 pounds of milk each day from the farm.

Yeah, sure, break seteuid()... proof? This pretty much looks like the same old command filter story with unprivileged users not being allowed to send random LOAD FIRMWARE or other SELF DESTRUCT commands, and commands that cdrecord/readcd/whatever needs not being whitelisted accordingly. And that state isn't going to change without *your* compiling a list of necessary commands and with the required privilege for each command. Rather than doing just that list, or lift artificial barriers you erected in the Linux interfacing code, you write endless comments and discussions about the Linux kernel that is oh so bad. How very efficient. But thanks BTW for switching to the CDDL, now with GPL 2a and 2c, it's easier to make your nonconformant code behave. > Please help me with further testing and debugging. > > I am however short before giving up completely with Linux. You have already done that, by pissing at people who aren't present to defend themselves. And BTW linuxcheck() is still nonfunctional on 2.6.10 and newer.

When Brad Anderson interviewed for his job, he looked for assurance that he and his department would be given the same importance as Salina's other city departments, such as police and public works.
Confident he wouldn't be regarded simply as an "add-on" or "icing on the cake," Anderson took the job and has been at it two years.
What's Anderson's department? The arts.
Anderson is executive director of Salina's Arts and Humanities Department, where he oversees 14 employees and a $1.1 million budget to execute the department's mission of promoting public awareness of and interest in the artistic and cultural development of the city. Salina established its Arts and Humanities Commission in 1966.
"The arts are valued as an important part of the city," Anderson said. "I'm at the same table as all of those other directors."
About 45 people turned out to hear Anderson speak Thursday night at the Union Pacific Depot. The Lawrence Arts Roundtable planned the event with the idea that learning more about Salina's organization of the arts could spark ideas Lawrence could use.
A position like his is rare in Kansas, Anderson said. He said he knew of just one similar employee, a county arts administrator in Wichita.
Anderson said that while every community is unique, Salina — with a population of about 50,000 — would not be able to achieve what it has without city staffing, especially when it comes to organizing a festival the size and quality of Salina's Smoky Hill River Festival.
Art is the festival's main focus — there's a fine art show, craft show, artist demonstrations and hands-on art activities for children — and a big seller. Anderson said attendees bought $450,000 worth of art in three days during last year's festival.
Some other things Salina's Arts and Humanities Department does:
• Maintains an online directory of local artists and cultural organizations, as well as an online calendar of arts events, which the department promotes through weekly email blasts.
• Converges a monthly meeting of the city's Cultural Arts Roundtable, a group of directors from all of the city's arts organizations.
• Coordinates and implements Salina's long-range cultural plan.
• Helps administer an arts education program in public schools. Anderson said the school district gives his department $15,000 a year for this.
• Measures and tracks arts impact data, such as attendance and ticket sales.
• Works with the media. Anderson said he contributes a column to the Salina Journal a couple times a year and that his staff is readily available for media requests.
"We don't think of it as a place just to get free stuff, we also buy ads," he said. "The media are very important partners for us to share that information."
The Arts and Humanities Department is not without foes in Salina, Anderson said. It's been the subject of nasty letters to the editor and social media messages by people who disagree about the importance of the arts.
Anderson said he's aware not everyone will like what his department does. Instead of focusing on converting those people, he said, it's more effective to build support from the inside out. His strategy is to cultivate deep roots with the most loyal arts supporters, then work out in "concentric circles" to get more people on board.
Anderson said a successful arts organization would look different in every city.
"Each community must find its own path and capitalize on its own assets," he said.

text: It said that it would be adding 50 new HD channels by mid- to late-2009, and while three newcomers isn't the hugest of deals, we suppose it has to start somewhere. Bright House Networks has just announced that it will be delivering a new trio to Central Florida: ABC Family HD (1337), Disney HD (1335) and MGM Channel HD (1306). It should be noted that the latter station will only be available to those who subscribe to its $6 / month High Definition Pack, which also includes MOJO HD, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Universal HD and HD Showcase.

A CASTLETOWN mailman is expected to get the stamp of approval when he drops the post for the coast in an audacious charity bid this weekend.
Graeme Geddes (43) is swapping his usual beat round the village's postboxes to run the north coast of Scotland – 105 miles from Cape Wrath to Duncansby Head.
The postie, who previously climbed 24 Munros in the summer of 2009 and finished the Great North Run in 2011, is planning to leave Cape Wrath on Sunday and hopes to complete just over a marathon (26.2 miles) a day.
He is scheduled to arrive at the scenic Duncansby Head on Wednesday and will be raising money for the far north branches of Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, and Chest, Heart & Stroke charities along the way.
"My wife Sheila got diagnosed with MS just over a year ago so I did the Great North Run to raise money for the cause last year," he said.
"As there is a history of diabetes and heart problems on my wife's side, I just thought I would now try and support all three and keep the money in the far north."
Putting the fun in fundraising, the fit 43-year-old will be starting his journey in a blue afro and a lightweight kilt and will have a fellow member of Thurso Pipe Band on hand to pipe him off.
In the event that the ferry operator at Cape Wrath has a long lie on Sunday, Graeme plans to start his epic feat of endurance from Kinlochbervie.
The postie of 23 years picked up an injury a couple of weeks ago which he has been struggling to shake off – but with a change of route round Thurso this week he was hoping to walk it off before the weekend challenge begins.
Graeme will have two support cars on the road with him throughout the run with collection buckets and there are also sponsor sheets in the Picture Box gift shop in Thurso and in various businesses in Castletown.
Graeme's son Ewan (23) is also going to run part of the challenge alongside him and any keen runners are welcome to join in.
"If anybody fancies a run on any of the four days just give me a ring," he said.
"They can do half a dozen miles or three or whatever they like."
Graeme can be reached on his mobile from Sunday to Wednesday on 07738 060462.

SPRINGFIELD -- Mayor Rahm Emanuel took his case for reining in soaring pension costs to state lawmakers today, saying change is needed or Chicago's "quality of life will suffer."
Emanuel called for a pause on cost-of-living increases for 10 years to allow pension systems "to catch its breath." He wants city employees to increase their contributions 1 percent each year for five years and to allow employees to be offered a choice of retirement plans.
"The day of reckoning has arrived," Emanuel said, saying taxpayers, retirees and employees want politicians to be honest and "level with them" about the problems.
A rare step for a Chicago mayor, Emanuel personally pitched his ideas for cutting costs to a House pension panel. It's an approach that his immediate predecessor, Richard M. Daley, had not taken, though he made a variety of appearances over the years.
Emanuel said the cost-of-living pause is necessary because retirees are getting increases while current employees are unable to get similar increases. For example, a retiree making a $60,000 pension in 1995 is now receiving $100,000. After 10 years of a pause, Emanuel said the plan would go to a simplified cost-of-living adjustment rather than annual compounded increases.
In addition, the mayor said the idea of increasing employee contributions helps rectify a system that hasn't changed along with the longer life expectancies over the years. He also talked about a choice, or alternative, plan, potentially some type of proposal that would not undermine a defined contribution plan. Already, for example, many city employees have a 401(k) type of plan, Emanuel said. But officials said discussions are ongoing as to what shape choice should take.
The plans offer different ages for retirement, but the proposal would increase the retirement ages by five years in each plan. The thought is that it would be phased in over a decade.
Another piece of the plan is that the city would not want to increase its contributions until the system can be fixed.
Without reform, the city would have to pay $1.2 billion a year toward the four pensions for city workers alone, Emanuel said.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Nate RobinsonApril 14, 2013
Nate Robinson is difficult to figure out.
Standing at 5'9" but with an athletic build that rivals everyone in the league, he teeters between a hot commodity and an afterthought.
His lack of size has left him an NBA journeyman who is barely making the veteran's minimum this year, but his ability to put points on the board in a hurry has allowed him to carve out an eight-year career at the professional level. He is one of just six players in league history play at least eight seasons while coming in at 5'9" and under.
To put yourself in the same company as Spud Webb and Calvin Murphy is no joke. It's beyond impressive.
Still, with so much talent, Robinson has spent stints with five different teams in a mere eight years. That's hardly indicative of an athletic freak that was drafted in the first round.
So we must ask ourselves: Why?
Someone seemingly so talented shouldn't be considered a non-entity on separate occasions, even if he his only 5'9". There has to be something else at play.
The Good
As previously noted, Robinson can score. A lot.
The point guard is averaging 18.9 points per 36 minutes on 43.6 percent shooting for the Chicago Bulls (40.6 percent from deep) this season. He's also their third-leading scorer at 13.3 PPG despite playing just over 25 minutes per game.
This is nothing new, though. Robinson is averaging 11.6 points per game for his career and 17.8 per 36 minutes. The latter makes him the second-highest scorer under 5'9" per 36 minutes in NBA history.
Since leaving the New York Knicks, his ability to assist in running the offense has gotten better as well. His ill-advised shots and unfounded heat checks are still notorious, but he's averaged at least four assists per game in each of the last two seasons.
Robinson is also currently the only player in the NBA to be averaging at least 13 points and four assists while playing in fewer than 26 minutes a night. Again, he's instant production.
Knicks fans know this only too well. He had three 40-point games with the team, logging more than 38 minutes in just one of them.
You've also got to appreciate Nate's never-ending supply of energy. Every time he comes off the bench and into the game, he's ready to play. He won't hesitate to take the big shot, and he's good for however many minutes you need him for.
While he may be severely undersized, he relies on his athleticism to remain productive. He also relied on it to become the first three-time Slam Dunk Contest champion in NBA history.
Finally, for an NBA nomad like himself, Robinson has built up quite the following.
Not only is he (usually) a fan favorite wherever he goes, but you know you're big time when people have tattoos of you (however ugly) put on their back.
Yes, Nate is tiny, but he packs a monstrous punch in so many different aspects of the game.
The Bad
Robinson isn't known for just his scoring or freak athletic abilities, he also drawn attention for his lack of maturity.
As valuable as his energy can be off the bench, he's almost 29 and seemingly has a lot of growing up to do.
When in New York, his antics got him on Mike D'Antoni's bad side, and he wound up requesting a trade, citing D'Antoni's supposed vendetta against him as the primary reason.
Shaquille O'Neal also criticized Robinson's work ethic in his book, Shaq Uncut: My Story, portraying him as obsessed with his "public persona" more so than his actual career.
With so many different NBA personalities essentially berating Robinson's maturity level, one would expect there has to be at least a shed of truth to their tales.
Some of Robinson's actions on the court only further the notion of his adolescent behavior.
His instant offense is valued, but his over-zealous trigger finger is not.
He's jacking up the second-most shots per 36 minutes on the Bulls (16.1) this year. To put that in further perspective, his number of field-goal attempts per 36 minutes trail that of Kevin Durant's by just .5 shots. Call me crazy, but that's a little much for someone making the veteran's minimum, even if he deserves more money.
What's also troubling is Robinson's shooting clip. He's never shot better than 43.7 percent from the floor overall, and is at 42.7 percent for his career.
For someone who shoots as much as he does, you would like to more of an emphasis on accuracy. When he gets going, he's difficult to stop, but when he's cold, man is he cold.
Also, if you're playing beside him and something good transpires, then watch out. His excessive celebration could wind up hurting you or him, or both.
Just ask Paul Pierce.
The Ugly
There are points where Robinson's antics become more ugly than bad.
Most recently, he could be found doing the discount double-check after nailing a three against the Knicks, in mockery of sharp-shooter Steve Novak...for the second time.
On the surface, those antics appear to be all in good fun, but far too often, Robinson emerges as more of a sideshow than anything.
Once again, this is nothing new, especially when it comes to the Knicks.
Upon returning to Madison Square Garden to face his former team as a member of the Celtics in 2010, Robinson made it point to taunt D'Antoni (via Frank Isola of the New York Daily News):
Lil' Him wasn't honoring his former coach Wednesday night as much as he was taunting him. With Boston building a 27-point third-quarter lead over the Knicks, Robinson twice made it a point to show that he was enjoying D'Antoni's misery.
It was another example of Nate being Nate during the Celtics' 109-97 victory over Robinson's former club.
Robinson, who taunted another of his former Knicks coaches - Larry Brown - last season, was lashing out at D'Antoni for benching him for 14 games in December, which led to the Knicks trading him last month.
Grudges are a part of the NBA. Feuds like the one between D'Antoni and Robinson are nothing new, but while this was years ago, Robinson is still going off in similar fashions today.
If it's not insulting the passive Novak, he's flexing as he goes up for a layup against the San Antonio Spurs, not unlike Karl Malone did.
Is Nate really at a point of his career where he should be mimicking one of the greatest NBA players there ever was? Borrowing Novak's moves (who borrowed it from Aaron Rodgers) is one thing, but Malone is an entirely different territory.
Of course, I believe Robinson would tell us he's merely jesting, that he's an easy-going person with a jovial attitude. He means no harm by what he does.
Nearly a decade into his career, though, that's not enough. He's not taken as seriously as he should be. And while some would point to his size, I don't think his over-the-top displays of celebration are helping either.
Like at all.

Dismissed Cases
What can I do if my case was dismissed? What options do I have?
Options available to you include:
You will have to wait 180 days after dismissal of your previous case to re-file if that case was dismissed under either of two circumstances: (1) the case was dismissed on the court's order because of your willful failure to obey orders of the court or to appear in court when required (your inability to make plan payments would not ordinarily be a willful failure to obey a court order); or (2) the case was dismissed at your request after the filing of a request for relief from the automatic stay. �109(g) [12-4-98]
I received today a notice of entry of order re: discharge of my bankruptcy (Ch13) for failure to make timely payments. I have missed two payments and I'm in my fourth year of paying. All payments to the secured creditor and IRS have been made but payments were still being paid to unsecured creditors.
I don't think the notice that you received was a "discharge" or your bankruptcy. A discharge is granted after you have completed your plan payments and is an order that you no longer owe the debt. You probably received a "dismissal" of your bankruptcy.
Once the case is dismissed, you lose protection from the court allowing all of your creditors to come after you again. In addition, the amount to be paid to some of your creditors may have been reduced by your plan, and the dismissal will allow them to collect the full original balance plus interest. This means that secured creditors, such as the company financing a car, may be able to repossess it even if they have been paid the full amount they were going to get under the plan. It may also mean that IRS could levy your wages for interest, penalties, and that portion of the taxes which would have been discharged had you completed the plan. All in all, it could be a very bad situation.
The practice of the trustees and the courts regarding reinstating a case may differ from district to district, so I can only tell you the policy in Arizona where I practice (you should check with your attorney for the policy in your district).
If a case has been dismissed, the trustees and the courts here will usually allow the case to be reinstated if you make up all of the missed payments and file a motion to reinstate the case. If you do not act promptly, the court may close the case which would require that you also request that your case be re-opened and pay the filing fee again before they will consider a motion to reinstate.
